When it comes to the recorded incidences of measles, data recently collected by the World Heath Organization (WHO) makes disturbing reading.
In 2017, 21,315 people caught the disease in the European region, resulting in 35 deaths. This is compared to a record low of 5,273 cases the previous year.
"Every new person affected by measles in Europe reminds us that unvaccinated children and adults, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of catching the disease and spreading it to others who may not be able to get vaccinated," said Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO's regional director for Europe.
The situation in Denmark is a little different. Last year, there were four cases registered by Statens Serum Institute (SSI) – an increase of only one on the previous year. In contrast, 85 cases were registered in 2011 and this figure fell to 27 cases in 2014 and then further down to nine in 2015. In September 2017, Denmark was officially considered to have eliminated the disease.
There could be a danger that the social media and celebrity-driven trend against vaccination could change all that. The SSI reports that 86 percent of Danish children born in 2012 were vaccinated for measles, mumps and rubella – a rate slightly below that of the previous 15 years during which 88-90 percent were vaccinated.
The WHO is taking action to stop the current outbreaks and prevent new ones in several ways, including raising public awareness, immunising healthcare professionals and other adults at particular risk, addressing challenges in access, and improving supply planning and logistics.
However, a number of European countries have recently seen declines in overall routine immunisation coverage, consistently low coverage among some marginalised groups, interruptions in vaccine supply or underperforming disease surveillance systems.
"The elimination of both measles and rubella is a priority goal that all European countries have firmly committed to – and a cornerstone for achieving the health-related [UN] Sustainable Development Goals," continued Jakab.
But outbreaks will continue to occur until every susceptible child and adult is protected.
Today, under the auspices of the WHO, health ministers from 11 countries will meet to discuss working together to achieve the goals set out in the European vaccine action plan by 2020, including measles and rubella elimination.


Every week brings new projects, emails, files, and task lists. Just how much of this is totally different from the job you have done? Odds are, not much. A number of our day-to-day tasks are variations on something we have done countless times before.
Do not reinvent the wheel every single time you start something fresh. Use templates–as starting point for new 17, standardized documents with formatting and text. Once you save another version of the template add, eliminate, or change any info for that document, and you are going to have the new job.
Programs work everywhere: in word processors, spreadsheets, project management apps, survey programs, and email. Here's the way to use templates and how to automatically generate documents from a template–so you can get your ordinary tasks quicker.
That is not the only benefit: Using a template means you're not as inclined to leave out crucial information, also. By way of example, if you need to send freelance authors a contributor agreement, changing a standard contract template (instead of writing a new contract every time) ensures you won't depart out that crucial clause regarding possessing the content as soon as you've paid for this.
Templates additionally guarantee consistency. You send regular job updates. With a template, you know the upgrade will always have the same formatting, design, and standard structure.
Imagine you are developing a template of your own resume. You'd want to list in-depth facts so you'll have.

But the picture is not all grim. The number of hungry people in the world has shrunk by more than 200 million since the early 1990s, even given the substantial increase in global population, thanks to the concerted efforts of governments, world organizations, charities, and local agencies. However, the goal of a hunger-free world still eludes us.
Up to 30% to 40% of production can be lost before the food even reaches the market, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates. This is especially a problem in the developing world. IoT can provide cost-effective monitoring capabilities to inform farmers. Such data can help them choose the best methods for harvesting and storing produce, especially for crops subject to high losses like fruits and vegetables.

Blog » Audio Frequency (historical time-line)
AUDIO FREQUENCY (SHORT "HISTORICAL" TIME-LINE)
Hertz (symbol Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as one cycle per second (this is why the Babylonian base-60 numeral system and Al-Biruni are mentioned on the time-line).
It is named for Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857-1894), the first person to provide conclusive proof of the existence of electromagnetic waves. In 1930 the "General Conference on Weights and Measures" adopted the term "Hertz" (Hz) for "Cycles Per Second" (CPS), officially replacing CPS in 1960. Sound waves and electromagnetic are not exactly the same, but for both (as well as for CPU clock rate and Sampling Frequency/Sampling Rate) we use the unit Hertz.
This article contains only information about sound (audio) frequency!
TIME-LINE
For centuries it was thought that sound was so ephemeral that any attempt to capture it — to hold a ruler against it — would be a fruitless exercise. In fact, until the 17th century natural philosophers thought it absolutely illogical to make any attempt to quantify it or even theorize about its measurement.
One of the first discoveries regarding sound was made in the sixth century B.C. by the Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras. He noted the relationship between the length of a vibrating string and the tone it produces.
The possibility that sound exhibits analogous behavior was emphasized by historical figures such as the Greek philosopher Chrysippus (c. 240 B.C.), by the Roman architect and engineer Vetruvius (c. 25 B.C.), and by the Roman philosopher Boethius (A.D. 480-524). The wave interpretation was also consistent with Aristotle's (384-322 B.C.) statement to the effect that air motion is generated by a source, "thrusting forward in like manner the adjoining air, to that the sound travels unaltered in quality as far as the disturbance of the air manages to reach." Also Leonardo da Vinci came around 1500 to the conclusion that sound "travels".
It wasn't up to 1638 when Galileo came with an explanation of the relation of pitch to frequency, consonance, and dissonance. The mathematical theory of sound propagation began with Isaac Newton (1642-1727), whose Principia (1686) included a mechanical interpretation of sound as being "pressure" pulses transmitted through neighboring fluid particles.
FREQUENCY ANALYSIS
In March 1676 the great British scientist Robert Hooke (1635-1703) described in his diary a sound-producing machine. Hooke noted a regular pattern of teeth produced music-like sounds, while more irregular teeth produced something that sounded more like speech.
By 1834 the Frenchman Félix Savart (1791-1841) was building giant brass wheels 82cm across, with 720 teeth. Savart's contribution was a mechanical tachometer connected to the axis of the toothed wheel. He calibrated a rotational scale with the tooth rate, and for the first time demonstrated that specific tones were associated with specific frequencies. He could determine the frequency of a tone heard in air by using his ear to match it with the toothed wheel and reading the frequency from the tachometer. He was using his ear and brain to do what a modern electrical engineer would call heterodyne analysis.
FREQUENCY REFERENCE TOOL
In 1711 John Shore (1662-1752) has been said to have invented* the tuning fork. A tuning fork is an acoustic resonator in the form of a two-pronged fork with the prongs (tines) formed from a U-shaped bar of "elastic" metal (usually steel). It resonates at a specific constant pitch when set vibrating by striking it against a surface or with an object, and emits a pure musical tone after waiting a moment to allow some high overtones to die out. The pitch that a particular tuning fork generates depends on the length and mass of the two prongs. It is frequently used as a standard of pitch to tune musical instruments. Due to this invention it was possible to "store" a particular pitch and "tune to it" at any place and time.
*According to the "432 Octaves" website it wasn't John Shore who invented the tuning fork, but the Egyptians.
Made in Paris between about 1870 and 1900.
Basic hand-held model.
It wasn't up to the "Acoustic Era" (approx. 1870-1925) when scientists could start measuring sound frequency more accurate, using a combination of tools, such as the Microphone (the carbon- button microphone invented by Thomas Edison and Emile Berliner simultaneously in 1876), the Galvanometer (to measure the tiny electrical currents inside the human body invented by Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval in 1882), a vacuum tube (1904 by John Ambrose Fleming) to amplify the output of the measurement microphone and the Thermophone (1920 by Lee de Forest). These inventions made it possible – when combined – to measure sound frequencies accurately.

Look at writing the code necessary for describing portfolio piece using MicroData and Schema.org.
We're going to explore how to write MicroData for a CreativeWork on a fake website so we can look at the important concepts and how to implement them.
Start the lesson by forking and cloning the portfolio-microdata repository.
Fork & clone the "portfolio-microdata" repo.
We're going to write the HTML necessary for marking up a WebSite portfolio piece using Schema.org.
Before we start adding the microdata, let's add the basic HTML markup for a portfolio piece. Copy the text from content.txt to save some time.
For this we're concentrating on a WebSite—if it was a visual artwork or a photograph there would be other specific properties.
You may also want to check out the generic CreativeWork that can be applied to non-specific portfolio pieces.
This is an example of a really basic portfolio piece you might see on your website.
It intentionally doesn't include case-study related information to simplify the code in this lesson.
We're now going to add MicroData to the website to help search engines understand the content and display better results.
We're specifically going to use the MicroData format but there are other formats like RDFa and JSON-LD. I enjoy JSON-LD but the syntax is very different from what you're used to. See the JSON-LD tutorial.
On the HTML tags that represent specific information we're going to add a new property: itemprop="…".
All of the properties we're adding are documented under the WebSite type on Schema.org.
In most cases the HTML tag is irrelevant, the name could be an <h1> or <h2> or <strong> or <span> microdata doesn't necessarily care.
itemprop="image" should always be on an <img> tag.
itemprop="url" should always be on an <a> tag.
Any of the time related properties should always be on <time> tags.
Define the <img> tag as the image property.
Define the <h2> tag as the name of this website.
Define the first <p> tag as the description for this website.
Define this <p> tag as containing information about what awards this work won.
This <a> tag represents the url of where to view this website.
Define the <aside> as being keywords related to this website.
The major thing missing from the above metadata is the author of this creative work—the person who designed it.
We could definitely include the itemprop="author" above in the code—but you know that I don't like to repeat code if I don't have to.
Most likely we'll have all the necessary author information in the <footer> of the website and we can use link it back up to the portfolio piece.
So we can put the author information somewhere else on the page and link each portfolio piece to the author without having to duplicate the code.
id — to associate with the itemref attribute above.
itemprop — to define this as being an author for something else on the page.
itemscope — group all this information together.
Define my name as the name of this person.
Define the email address for this person with itemprop="email"
Before getting this checked by the teacher it's a good idea to validate it. Google's Rich Snippets Testing Tool allows you to paste the metadata enhanced HTML and it will extract the information out of it. If the tool finds any errors they'll be displayed on the side.
Google Rich Snippets Testing Tool.
Copy and paste your HTML into the "Code Snippet" box and make sure there are no red errors.


Aegis Living Chief Medical Officer Dr. Shirley Newell, a national leader in the assisted-living industry, discusses what you can do to optimize brain health. In some cases, it can be as simple as getting a good night's sleep.
The positive things you can do for your brain are from a young age, and especially as you get older, get plenty of exercise. Also, eat a very healthy diet. And the cardiologists, and now the neurologists, talk about the Mediterranean diet, which isn't that complicated. It's just a lot of fruits and vegetables, moderate carbohydrates, low protein, and very healthy vegetable oils like olive oil, non-saturated fats, are very important to minimize sugar.
It's clear that human beings need at least seven or eight hours a night of sleep. You may function, or think you function, well on less, some people chronically function on much less. But they're doing damage to their brain because sleep, and especially dreaming, is really important to restore brain function. A lot of chemical events happen during sleep that are critical, not only to preserve health, but that can be harmful if you don't get enough sleep, in terms of developing dementia and other degenerative diseases of the brain.
Really important for brain health would be not only sleep, but meditation. Meditation and mindfulness have been found to be very restorative in terms of brain function and focus, and highly valuable in terms of helping people overcome distraction. Both of those are very, very important to people and that's something that you can do without a lot of effort or time.

Eight works with Indiana connections are winners of the 2020 Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Awards. Today's announcement unveils the updated awards' inaugural class of honorees, which includes a New York Times bestseller and a Lambda Literary Award finalist as well as authors who have won or been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, National Book and National Book Critics Circle awards.
Chosen from among 35 shortlisted works in eight categories, the winning submissions were written by a diverse collection of authors who all have deep connections to Indiana. Whimsical and serious, funny and haunting, the winning works address pressing topics such as race and immigration, as well as addiction and family drama.
The award-winning books are:
Children's: Attucks! Oscar Robertson and the Basketball Team that Awakened a City, by Phillip Hoose
Drama: The Jack Plays, by James Still
Emerging: Driven: A White-Knuckled Ride to Heartbreak and Back, by Melissa Stephenson
Fiction: The Life List of Adrian Mandrick, by Chris White
Genre: Pimp My Airship, by Maurice Broaddus
Nonfiction: The Book of Delights, by Ross Gay
Poetry: Sightseer in This Killing City, by Eugene Gloria
Young Adult: All the Things We Do in the Dark, by Saundra Mitchell
(Additional descriptions of the books and authors appear below.)
Designed by Indiana Humanities with support from Glick Philanthropies, the Indiana Authors Awards are issued every other year. In between award years, starting in 2021, honorees will have the opportunity to participate in a statewide tour to connect with readers, teachers and students. Tomorrow, a Literary Champion Award winner will be named to honor an individual's or organization's contributions to Indiana's literary community.
"Indiana has a rich literary tradition, and this class of Indiana Authors Award winners shows that the legacy is alive and growing," said Indiana Humanities President and CEO Keira Amstutz. "We are honored to partner with Glick Philanthropies to raise awareness about these books not only in Indiana, but among readers across the nation. "
Each winner will receive $5,000, a hand-crafted limestone award and the opportunity to make a $500 donation to an Indiana library of their choice. A short video featuring interviews with all of the authors debuted online today. In addition, Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations (IPBS) has produced radio and TV spots about each winner, as part of a partnership with the Indiana Authors Awards.
"By creating the Indiana Authors Awards, my parents sought not only to honor authors for significant works, but also to champion Indiana literature to a wider audience," said Marianne Glick, chair of the Glick Family Foundation and daughter of Eugene and Marilyn Glick. "These winners represent the diversity of literature created in Indiana—from the people who create it to the stories brought to life, they reflect Indiana's literary abundance."
The winning works are:
Attucks! Oscar Robertson and the Basketball Team that Awakened a City, by Phillip Hoose. Attucks! tells the true story of the all-Black Crispus Attucks High School basketball team that broke the color barrier in segregated 1950s Indiana. By winning the 1955 state championship, 10 teens – including eventual college and NBA star Oscar Robertson – shattered the myth of Black inferiority. Hoose is a widely acclaimed author of books, essays, stories, songs and articles, including the National Book Award-winning Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice. Having grown up in South Bend, Angola and Speedway, Hoose is a graduate of Indiana University and Yale University. For 37 years, he served as a staff member of The Nature Conservancy, dedicated to preserving the plants, animals and natural communities of the Earth.  More at http://www.philliphoose.com/.

Driven: A White-Knuckled Ride to Heartbreak and Back, by Melissa Stephenson. Driven is a memoir about the road to hope told through the series of cars that carried Stephenson along life's road. From a lineage of secondhand family cars of the late '60s, to the Honda that got her from Montana to Texas as a new marriage disintegrated, to the '70s Ford she drove away from her brother's house after he took his life, to the VW van she now uses to take her kids camping, these cars have reliably driven her away from grief and toward hope.

Q: How can I display the number of clicks for each item of a state separately? As of now, upon clicking on any of the 4 food types, they appear on the modal with no problems.
Here's the problem:
Whenever I click on any button for the first time, a 0 is displayed.  Whenever I click on any button again (besides the one I clicked previously) for the second time, a 1 is displayed.
Whenever I click on any button again (besides the one I clicked previously) for the third time, a 2 is displayed.  Whenever I click on any button again (besides the one I clicked previously) a 3 appears.
I want to display the number of times a button is clicked separately.  For example, if I clicked Chicken Taco 4 times and I clicked Beef Taco 2 times, then 2 and 4 should appear in the modal.
Here's my code:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import Modal from 'react-modal';

import Aux from '../../../../hoc/Aux';
import FoodButton from '../FoodButtons/FoodButton';
import CheckoutButton from '../CheckoutButton/CheckoutButton';
import axios from '../../../../axios-foodChosen';

import { CLOSE_MODAL, OPEN_MODAL } from "../../../../store/action/NoNameAction";

class TacoTypes extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.state = {
            selectedItems: [],

            foodClicks: {
                cTacoClicked: 0,
                bTacoClicked: 0,
                cBurritoClicked: 0,
                bBurritoClicked: 0,
            }

        };

        //Constant item names
        this.items = {
            chickenTaco: 'Chicken Taco',
            beefTaco: 'Beef Taco',
            chickenBurrito: 'Chicken Burrito',
            beefBurrito: 'Beef Burrito'
        };
    }

    componentWillMount() {
        // for modal
        Modal.setAppElement('body');
    }

    selectFood(food) {
        this.setState(state => {
            let selected = state.selectedItems;
            let cTaco = state.foodClicks.cTacoClicked;
            let bTaco = state.foodClicks.bTacoClicked;
            let cBurrito = state.foodClicks.cBurritoClicked;
            let bBurrito = state.foodClicks.bBurritoClicked;

            if(!selected.includes(food)) {
                selected.push(food);
            }

            return {
                selectedItems: selected,
                cTacoClicked: cTaco + 1,
                bTacoClicked: bTaco + 1,
                cBurritoClicked: cBurrito + 1,
                bBurritoClicked: bBurrito + 1
            };
        });
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <Aux>
                {Object.keys(this.items).map(key => (
                    <FoodButton clicked={() => this.selectFood(key)} key={key} label={this.items[key]}/>
                ))}

                <CheckoutButton clicked={() => this.props.openModalRedux()}/>

                <Modal isOpen={this.props.isOpen}>

                    {this.state.selectedItems.map(key => (

{this.items[key]}

                    ))}

                    {Object.keys(this.state.selectedItems.map(key => (

{this.state.foodClicks[key]}

                    )))}

                    <button onClick={() => this.props.closeModalRedux()}>Close</button>
                </Modal>
            </Aux>
        );
    }
}

const mapStateToProps = state => {
    return {
        // props for modal
        isOpen: state.global.isModalOpen,
    }
};

const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => {
    return {
        // Modal handlers
        openModalRedux: () => dispatch({type: OPEN_MODAL}),
        closeModalRedux: () => dispatch({type: CLOSE_MODAL})
    }
};

export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(TacoTypes);

A: cTacoClicked: cTaco + 1,
bTacoClicked: bTaco + 1,
cBurritoClicked: cBurrito + 1,
bBurritoClicked: bBurrito + 1

Currently, you are adding 1 to all food click counters. Instead, you should only increment the counter of the selected food.
In constructor(), use the item keys as the click counters keys to make things easy. Initialize state like this:
    this.state = {
        selectedItems: [],

        foodClicks: {
            chickenTaco: 0,
            beefTaco: 0,
            chickenBurrito: 0,
            beefBurrito: 0,
        }
    };

And this is implementation of selectFood():
selectFood(food) {
    this.setState(state => {
        let selected = state.selectedItems;

        if(!selected.includes(food)) {
            selected.push(food);
        }

        return {
            selectedItems: selected,
            foodClicks: {
                ...state.foodClicks,
                [food]: state.foodClicks[food] + 1
            }
        };
    });
}

Bess Tracy is a Colorado and California realtor; real estate investor; house flipper; interior designer; business owner; developer; and Colorado native. She started the F.I.R.E. Yourself Meetup Group after attending a book club about investing in real estate and realizing there was a lack of education and information readily available for Millennials to prepare for F.I.R.E. (Financial Independence – Retire early).
Bess's passion to start this group came from her own desire to create financial independence. When she realized how attainable it can be with a little education and some effort, she decided to start a monthly event to help others, offering keynotes and networking with seasoned investors, financial advisors, accountants, and authors of related books.
Soon after, Chris Ferone joined Bess Tracy and they decided to partner on the F.I.R.E events after realizing a strong mutual interest in the philosophy. Chris Ferone is a Colorado Realtor; real estate investor, landlord, property manager, and 23 year Colorado Resident. He began a significant interest in the F.I.R.E. movement after absorbing numerous BiggerPockets and ChooseFI podcasts. Chris grew up learning the value of a dollar, saving for a rainy day, investing, and now lives a rather minimalist lifestyle in pursuit of FI.
What factors contribute to housing decisions? While prices continue to stay red hot and "bubble" paranoia is gaining steam, it's important to remember many factors contribute to housing conditions. Denver is an incredibly strong position, but the answer lies in what is happening with the local economy. Barring a catastrophic event or some other travesty, Denver is trending towards another strong growth year.
What causes property values to increase? The top driving force for an increase in property values is a lack of inventory. Denver is in the strongest economy I have witnessed in my lifetime. Home prices are increasing each year, but our inventory is not. The result is a catch 22; people are not able to find homes to upgrade into and therefore are not selling their existing homes.
What does the Denver real estate inventory look like right now? At the beginning of May, there were roughly 1500 active single family homes for sale. In a metro area of 3 million, this isn't even close to what we need for a healthy, balanced market. Back in 2007, we had a peak of 31,000 homes hit the market; yet by November of 2010 Denver hit rock bottom.
What does the future of Denver Real Estate look like? To see the future you have to understand the past. Personally, I watch leading economic indicators such as immigration, interest rates, unemployment rates, population growth or loss, and average days on market for listings. We will cover this data in detail!
DENVERNOMICS For our October event, we got the pleasure of hearing from Vivi Gloriod from Team vivi Real Estate! Vivi answered different questions about Denver Real Estate, including: What factors contribute to housing decisions? What causes property values to increase? What does the Denver real estate inventory look like right now? What does the future of Denver Real Estate look like? You can find the entire video here.
EXPERT PANEL For our August event, we heard from an expert panel of real estate professionals! Robin Behrstock and Tim Walker, two experienced rental property investors; Sean Stewart, a master real estate accountant and; and Maria Timofeeva, a practicing real estate attorney. They engaged the audience and answered questions regarding topics such as "how to build a portfolio with multiple investments to provide passive income". They also talked about the process to legally and efficiently set up your rental property investments as a business that protects you.
JOHN BROKKEN For our May event we heard from the amazing John Brokken, a philanthropic entrepreneur, an avid real estate rental property investor who also does several fix and flips. He is a highly sought-after speaker for bringing education to high schools around the greater Denver area teaching teens to invest and inspiring them to become what they want to be in life and create wealth at the same time.
JORDAN YOUNGBLADE For our April event we got the pleasure of hearing from Jordan Youngblade who is a money mindset coach and spoke to us about how to have a great mindset when thinking about money and what we do with what we have and how to capitalize on it when you're looking to build out your financial portfolio for long-term success. Jordan is extremely helpful for especially the us millennials all trying to learn how to manage our money and save for retirement! Something many of us have yet to start. To set up a coaching consultation with Jordan visit her website!
SCOTT TRENCH For our March event we had the immense pleasure of hearing from Scott Trench, who runs the Bigger Pockets podcast and is the author of 'Set For Life'. He is 28 and already owned several investment properties here in Denver, all of which he acquired by working a normal 9-5 like everyone else and now all he does is write blogs all day, works out, drinks craft beer and travels. He's absolutely brilliant and did a great job! To get his book and learn the powerful formula and value of investing in your future order here!


The last post looked at what I've called the engineering view of systemic efficiency, specifically the concept of available energy, or exergy. I refer to this as systemic because it considers energy conversion processes in relation to their specific operating contexts, in order to understand the useful work that a system can provide. While energy conversion processes serve an infinite array of human purposes, in the proximate or most immediate sense, we carry out energy conversions in order to do work—to effect transformations in our material worlds—and to provide heating (and while technically it's not necessary to further differentiate it here, to provide illumination also). The systemic view provided by exergy analysis deals directly with the question of how much utility we can derive from an energy conversion process, and so it allows us to think about energy resources and infrastructure in a more concrete way than when we conduct analysis in terms of the nominal heating value of primary sources or fuels, in isolation from the particular situations in which they are used. Differences in energy use situations—different conversion technologies, implemented in different ways, operating in different physical environments—lead to differences in the utility that can be derived from an energy source. In establishing the efficiency of an energy conversion process—the useful energy output from the process divided by the nominal energy input—a focus on conversion systems and their parts (including the particular energy sources involved) only gets us so far. For a comprehensive view of efficiency we need to consider energy conversion processes in terms of all three levels of the basic systems hierarchy of system, sub-systems and supra-system. Exergy analysis provides the means for achieving this.

Q: what is the correct syntax of a post form in an http request What is the format of a form sent in an http post request ?
I am trying an http client program and want to send a form in an http post request.
I tried :
< FORM METHOD=POST >
< INPUT name="name" value="chriss">
< /FORM >

is this correct ?
on the server side, when I try to get the value of name ( i use : form.getFirstValue("name")) I get  null.
(I am using restlet as my API.)
Can anyone help me please

A: The body of the POST request sent by an HTML form is usually using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" media type.
If your client is also a Restlet client, you should be able to use the Form class, set the required values for each name/value pairs, and get the representation to send using getWebRepresentation().
Essentially, the body will look like this:
name=chriss

If you had more parameters, they would be separated by &.
(If you were sending files, you'd use the multipart/form-data encoding instead.)

A: An HTML reference will be helpful. There are plenty of good HTML books and online references.
<form method="post" action="/url/to/submit/to">
    <input type="text" name="name" value="chriss">
</form>

Motley Fool Australia » Share Gainers » Why Appen, Data#3, FBR, and Nearmap shares raced higher today
Why Appen, Data#3, FBR, and Nearmap shares raced higher today
James Mickleboro | January 16, 2019 12:58pm | More on: APX DTL FBR NEA
In afternoon trade the S&P/ASX 200 (Index: ^AXJO) (ASX: XJO) has given back the majority of its morning gains but still sits a fraction higher at 5,815 points.
Four shares that have climbed more than most today are listed below. Here's why they have raced higher:
The Appen Ltd (ASX: APX) share price has zoomed 3.5% higher to $14.76. A number of top Australian tech shares have pushed higher on Wednesday after a positive night of trade for their U.S. counterparts on the Nasdaq. Streaming giant Netflix was the best performer with a sizeable 6.5% gain after it announced price increases. The S&P/ASX 200 Info Tech index is up 1% at the time of writing.
The Data#3 Limited (ASX: DTL) share price has raced over 11% higher to $1.61 after the information technology solutions provider released a trading update this morning. According to the release, the company expects consolidated net profit before tax for the first half of FY 2019 to be ahead of the guidance provided at its AGM in November 2018. It estimates first half pre-tax profit in the range of $8.5 million to $9 million, up from $4 million in the prior corresponding period.
The FBR Ltd (ASX: FBR) share price has rocketed 26% higher to 10.5 cents despite there being no news out of the robotics company. However, prior to today its shares were down almost 60% in the space of six months. Bargain hunters could be swooping in today on the belief that its shares have been oversold.
The Nearmap Ltd (ASX: NEA) share price is up 4.5% to $1.90. Last week analysts at Morgan Stanley retained their overweight rating and $2.00 price target on the geospatial map technology company's shares following its impressive half year update. Nearmap has seen demand for its services increase strongly in both the United States and Australia during the first half of FY 2019.
Missed these gains? Then don't miss out on these growth shares tipped as potential market beaters this year.

FAIRFIELD YOUTH TACKLE FOOTBALL PROGRAM
Fairfield Youth Football is a member of Fairfield County Football League. The FCFL is a youth football league comprised of 8 Member Organizations (Aspetuck, Darien, Fairfield, New Canaan, Ridgefield, Weston, Westport and Wilton). The FCFL was formed from the Gateway Football League in 2001. The founding Member Organizations were Darien, New Canaan, Westport and Wilton. The Fairfield Wildcats joined the FCFL in 2005 as the Fifth Member Organization. In 2010 we welcomed The Ridgefield Raiders Youth Football Program and in 2012 Weston Youth Football joined our League. The Aspetuck (Easton/Redding) Youth Football joined in 2016. In 2018, the Fairfield Wildcats and the Fairfield Giants merged to form Fairfield Youth Football.
The league was formed to create a football program focusing on getting as many kids playing football as possible, developing fundamental football skills in a progressive manner, requiring evenly split teams, safety, fairness and healthy competition rather than winning at all costs and building strong teams by keeping less talented players off the field. Using this formula the FCFL has grown enormously over the past 7 years to its present size of over 2,400 kids playing on 65 tackle football teams. This model has also provided all the Towns with opportunities to experience success and Championship teams in the various grade levels over that time period. Additionally, the proximity of the towns provides the competition of a travel program without the tremendous pressure placed on families when traveling long distances is required. Our size also makes it possible for us to accommodate the scheduling needs of the towns involved.
USA Football's Heads Up Program Was Adopted by FCFL in 2013. For complete details, click here.

Q: Predicting pressure of propane gas in container based on temperature I'm a mathematician and computer scientist, and for this particular problem I would benefit from some physics/chemistry expertise. I've already asked this question on chemistry stack exchange, but I figured some physicists might be able to help also.
Suppose I fill a container up with some liquid propane. I believe this is done under very cold conditions so that the propane remains liquid while the container is being filled. It is then sealed off. Suppose now the inside of the container increases in temperature. I would like to calculate the pressure that would be exerted on the walls of the container at any given internal temperature T.
Intuitively, I would think that the pressure would be a function of temperature and some initial conditions (how full is the tank initially)? If I filled up the tank to 95% capacity with liquid propane, and then heated the tank, I would expect the resulting pressure on the walls of the container to be much higher than if I filled up the tank to only 1% capacity and did the same thing. Similarly, I would expect filling the tank to 85% capacity would result in less pressure than filling it to 95% capacity.
However, the only resources I've been able to find so far relate to the vapour pressure, which is a function of only temperature and this seems incomplete.
Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to approach this problem? Some factors that seem to complicate things are:

*

*The containers always seem to contain some level of liquid (due to internal pressure?), the rest is gas. Does the liquid have an effect on the pressure exerted on the walls? Can I just ignore it?

*If, rather than fill up the tank with liquid at very cold temperatures, the tank is just directly filled with gas, how does this change things? My guess is that given the initial pressure and temperature you can predict the pressure at a different temperature, but I think the fact that some of the gas becomes liquid at some point is tripping me up and I'm not sure how to approach the problem.

A: In the case there is negligible amount of air captured in the gaseous phase(e.g purged away by propane evaporation, and if there is sufficient space for gas not to be compressed by thermal dilation of liquid propane ( like about fully filled by the liquid).....
.... then pressure is fully determined by the temperature, not being dependent on the amount of liquid propane.
Propane would boil, until the pressure reaches the value of saturated propane vapour pressure for given temperature, which raises about exponentially with temperature, according to Clausius-Clapeyron equation:
$$p=p_\mathrm{0} \cdot \exp\left( \frac {\Delta H_\mathrm{evap}}{R}\cdot \left( \frac{1}{T_\mathrm{0}}-\frac{1}{T}\right)\right)$$
where
R is the gas constant 8.314 J/K/mol
$\Delta H_\mathrm{vap}$ is propane vaporisation enthalpy(+) from Wikipedia propane data page 24.545e3 J/mol
T is absolute temperature
(+)Thermal energy of the phase change at constant pressure
The assumption of the constant enthalpy with temperature is a reasonable approximation.
More exact equations could be gained,
If there is available function $\Delta H=f(T)$. There could be performed the integration of differentiated CC equation over the T interval.
The linearized approximation of
 $\Delta H=f(T)$ can be gained by applying Hess law :
$$\Delta H(T)=\Delta H(T0)+(C(l)-C(g))\cdot ( T -T0 )$$
where C(l),C(g) are respective liquid and gas propane molar heat capacities in J/K/mol. It is assuming constant capacities, what is another approximation.
But all that is rather complicated and more pragmatical approach is using
 the empirical formula based on empirical data
See also the link for the graph and empirical formula of $p=f(T)$.
The empirical formula for propane value pressure from the above link is
$$\log p_\mathrm{mm Hg}=6.82973-\frac{813.2}{248+T}$$
760 mm Hg=101325 Pa
If the amount of air cannot be neglected, then
$$p_\mathrm{total}= p_\mathrm{propane} + p_\mathrm{air}$$
$$p_\mathrm{air}= p_\mathrm{air, initial} \cdot \frac{V_\mathrm{gas,initial}}{V_\mathrm{gas, final}}$$
One has also consider
$$dV_\mathrm{g}=-\frac{dm_\mathrm{propane,g}}{\rho_\mathrm{propane,l}}$$

If the tank is filled just by a gas, the pressure is very well approximated by the Gay-Lussac law for an ideal gas, saying the ratio $$\frac pT = const$$
where p is pressure and T is absolute temperature.
Better estimation would by the van der Waals gas equation
$$(P+a n^2/V^2)(V-n b)=n R T$$

Available Formats Hardcover (1/3/2023)

Daniel Goldin, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee, WI

READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY • "I've been an Allegra Goodman fan for years, but Sam is hands down my new favorite. I loved this powerful and endearing portrait of a girl who must summon deep within herself the grit and wisdom to grow up."—Lily King, New York Times bestselling author of Writers & Lovers
What happens to a girl's sense of joy and belonging—to her belief in herself—as she becomes a woman? This unforgettable portrait of coming-of-age offers subtle yet powerful reflections on class, parenthood, addiction, lust, and the irrepressible power of dreams.
"There is a girl, and her name is Sam." So begins Allegra Goodman's moving and wise new novel.
Sam is seven years old and living in Beverly, Massachusetts. She adores her father, though he isn't around much. Her mother struggles to make ends meet, and never fails to remind Sam that if she studies hard and acts responsibly, adulthood will be easier—more secure and comfortable. But comfort and security are of little interest to Sam. She doesn't fit in at school, where the other girls have the right shade of blue jeans and don't question the rules. She doesn't care about jeans or rules. All she wants to climb. Hanging from the highest limbs of the tallest trees, scaling the side of a building, Sam feels free.
As a teenager, Sam begins to doubt herself. She yearns to be noticed, even as she wants to disappear. When her climbing coach takes an interest in her, his attention is more complicated than she anticipated. She resents her father's erratic behavior, but she grieves after he's gone. And she resists her mother's attempts to plan for her future, even as that future draws closer.
The simplicity of this tender, emotionally honest novel is what makes it so powerful. Sam by Allegra Goodman will break your heart, but will also leave you full of hope.
Allegra Goodman is the author of five novels, two short story collections, and a novel for young readers. Her fiction has appeared in The New Yorker and elsewhere, and has been anthologized in The O. Henry Awards and Best American Short Stories. She lives with her family in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Praise for Sam: A Novel
"Sam is original, full of heart, and makes you think and feel. A coming-of-age tale for all ages."—Good Morning America
"A sensitive portrait of life lived along the poverty line in modern-day America. Allegra Goodman offers a . . . sympathetic reflection on the struggles of a girl's life. Anyone who has ever been the focus of a child's impossibly inflated regard will feel alternately charmed and gutted by [Sam]."—Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"An irresistible coming-of-age portrait… A profound and gorgeously written gem about the tough, tender route Sam must navigate—grappling with friendships, love, insecurities and burgeoning womanhood—to chart her own course."—PEOPLE
"Goodman does a marvelous job of depicting this world of struggle and sacrifice, exhaustion and addiction, with neither condescension nor exaggeration. I admired Goodman's empathy, wisdom, and commitment to telling the story of one ostensibly simple but ultimately meaningful life."—Priscilla Gilman, The Boston Globe
"Sam is a novel for anyone who's witnessed a kid grow up, felt nostalgic, and yearned to watch the process all over again. Sam captures that unique magic of human development through the story of one steadfast girl."—Minneapolis Star Tribune
"What seems at first to be a simple coming-of-age story deepens under its own weight and shows itself to be a beautiful meditation on all the ways we love and fail each other. I was moved by the cumulative power of Sam, and I'm still rooting for the characters."—Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Edward
"Sam is a deeply wise and empathetic portrait of this unforgettable girl, making her way into this tricky world and into the reader's life."—Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of In Love

One of the best writers around, Goodman has made something truly beautiful, evoking a feeling that is hard to name but stirs inside us with every line."—Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here
"Sam is about as perfect of a coming-of-age story I have ever read. It explores what happens when one girl loses the wonder of childhood—the innocence of her early years only to reclaim her power and hope. I fell into this novel and read it in one sitting."—Jenna Bush Hager, Today
"Allegra Goodman's Sam stands out among realistic coming-of-age novels about contemporary American girlhood. We care deeply how Sam's story turns out, thanks to Goodman's brilliance and empathy."—Bookpage
"It's impressive how much emotional power is packed into this . . . contained story."—Publishers Weekly

Gutted- Martyr Creation
June 19, 2017 Tabitha Prisinzano	Leave a comment
I'm admittedly late to the game in discovering Hungary's technical death/grind outfit, Gutted but after seeing them destroy at Las Vegas Deathfest, I had to say something. Their energy live blew me away so I found it fit to give them money and procure a CD. I'm glad I did. Martyr Creation is bludgeoning from beginning to end.
The CD starts with a dramatic intro entitled "Chaos of the Beginning". The remainder of the LP seems to follow the trajectory of a concept album based on the chaotic nature of creation itself. "Cosmos of Humans" punches listeners in the face immediately following the slow build up of the intro and this energy continues throughout the album. The sound on Martyr Creation seems to embody a sort of controlled chaos. Tangible yet entirely insane, in a good way.
The album is heavy in a way that it forces listeners to take notice. Technical elements are tasteful, however, and not difficult to digest or in any way distracting from the flow of the album. The leads are prominently pushed to the forefront in production. They maintain a melodic element while never losing sight of the chaotic theme of the band's sound. I really give Gutted credit for their ability to write technical riffs and leads without losing the emotional aspect in the process. So few technical bands are able to achieve this. The result is an LP that induces self-administered whiplash.
For the most part, Martyr Creation blast off into an endless fury of speed, energy, and blasts from beginning to end, in true grind fashion, but tracks like "Deeper than Hell" deviate a bit from the formula with a short break into a clip of spooky background noises and creepy, Children of the Corn like echoes. This is the heart of the band's originality. Sándor Hajnali's growls complement the fury of Gutted's sound perfectly and the production is good in the sense that you can hear every instrument without losing the rawness of the band's death/grind style.
My only complaint would be that, in some ways, the tracks seemed to meld together with one track indistinguishable from the next. Although there were moments that stuck out. The solo in "Fades Away" is utterly insane and the breakdown in "False Happiness" hits you harder than the belligerent fat dude in the pit. Overall, this is a solid release from a band you should definitely be listening to if you're not already.

Acid Witch/Nunslaughter -Spooky
Back in March of this year, Hell's Headbangers unleashed yet another great addition to extensive, vinyl metal collections everywhere. An interesting mix of doom and classic death, the Nunslaughter and Acid Witch 7 inch split entitled "Spooky" is an off-color hymn to "stoners" everywhere. The artwork hints at the tongue in cheek nature of the album. Reminiscent of 1970's Tales From the Crypt comic this album art is unique and eye catching. The artwork, the sound, the feel of this split is definitively "gitchy" and doesn't take itself too seriously, which makes it a great feel good listen, the kind of music perfect for blazing.
Acid Witch
Acid Witch capture the sounds of "spookiness" in the most befitting way on this 7 inch. The opening track, Evil, begins with eerie sounding keyboards and has a sort of muted melodiousness that continues throughout the track, only to be broken up with Shagrat's gloriously repugnant vocals and Mike Tuff's classic riffing. Listening to Evil is like hearing a whisper in a haunted house. The keyboards continue throughout the track, organically giving Evil that sort of fun creepiness Rob Zombie's is always trying to achieve.
Fiends of Old, Acid Witch's second contribution to Spooky, veers in a different direction. Resurrecting, the classic sounds of Acid Bath and Eyehategod, Acid Witch has managed to make Fiends of Old sound unique by adding their signature keyboard sounds to this heavier doom track. It is perhaps, Slasher Dave's vocals that make this track most unique with his snotty, tongue in cheek tone. Acid Witch would do well to make their tracks a bit longer. Doom-heads intuitively crave 15 minute long songs. Acid Witch's three minute long tracks are a bit of a disappointment. I must hand it to Acid Witch though, their sound is original.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcwidhyzTt4
Nunslaughter
Nunslaughter's addition to "Spooky" doesn't veer far from the brutal, irreverent death metal Nunslaughter fans have grown accustomed to. "A Sordid Past" and "Spooky Tales" sound very similar to pretty much every song on their classic 2003 release "Goat". Surprisingly, I wasn't disappointed by this. Nunslaughter gives their fans what they're expecting, without alienating them with heavy experimentation. This is one band that will never "go soft" or sell out. You get what you get with Nunslaughter. Simple, three minute, satirically satanic death metal. Their contribution to "Spooky" is no exception.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AKcl_9e9Kw
You can order this awesome 7 inch directly from Hell Headbangers. Fucking do it and support underground metal! For now though, smoke up and enjoy some killer death and doom. Happy Listening. Hails!

Exhumed- Necrocracy
August 23, 2013 Tabitha Prisinzano	6 Comments
There is something to be said about a band that still kills it after almost 25 years at it. Californian death/grind aficionados recently unleashed their sixth full length album to date, on August 6, 2013, and they have brought with them more aggression than ever on this release. Thrashy, technical, and adrenaline filled are just a few words that come to mind upon listening to "Necrocracy". This LP will pump you up, plain and simple.
Listeners are hooked within the first few seconds of the album, as it immediately breaks into a groove filled, thrashy riff on the track "Coins Upon Eyes". The brutality doesn't end here however. Throughout the album, Exhumed exhibits fun filled, death/thrash excellence. These are the kind of songs that both incite a circle pit and get guitar nerds talking. The solos we find here are clean, melodic and technical. The choruses are anthemic and catchy and the riffs are creative and groove-filled.
The LP flows well, each track melding into the next, but remains exciting throughout, never sounding repetitive. Clean, acoustic breaks, found on tracks like Dysmorphic, break this album up nicely. Overall, Exhumed has managed to write an album filled with tracks that stick with you quite easily. Tracks like "The Rotting", bring me back to the moment I first heard the greatness that is death metal, with the classic down tuned guitars, appropriate blast bleats and melodic and passionate solos.
Exhumed has not only written an incredibly memorable album, they've outdone themselves a bit by including five bonus tracks at the end of the LP. The bonus tracks don't disappoint either. From "The Beginning After The End" to "Go For The Throat", these tracks rip hard as fuck. Necrocracy is simply the must have album of this year. Go out and fucking buy it! For now though, join me in the circle pit with Exhumed. Happy Listening. Hails!

Fuck The Facts- An Interview With Mathieu Vilandré
August 15, 2013 Tabitha Prisinzano	Leave a comment
It can be difficult to find interesting or even listenable "grindcore", these days amongst the hordes of noisy copycats littering an already overdone genre. Yet the Canadian quintet, Fuck The Facts have managed to spice things up within their sound, adding a refreshing feel to the genre, by infusing punk and hardcore elements into their sound, without going overboard and sounding cheesy or simplistic. Fuck The Facts has written an impressive body of work over the last 14 years, consisting of eight full length albums and innumerable EP's, demos, splits and promos. The band's latest release is entitled "AMER" and is the only EP written entirely in French. I personally like when bands write material in their native tongue. It adds an air of elitism to the music.
The EP slowly builds up, beginning with an intoxicating drumbeat and captivating guitar lick, then proceeds to punch the listener in the face. Intensity is the first word that come to mind when listening to AMER. Mel Mongeon's vocals are the impetus behind the band's ardent ferocity. Fuck The Facts has had a female vocalist since 2002 and has not once succumb to the gimmickry that can so easily bring. Mel is simply the best "wo-man" for the job. AMER is shining example of this. Her vocals tear your face off, while Mathieu's drums crack your ribs. Even the "core" elements on this EP are never annoying, only appropriate. Think crossover, not "metalcore". AMER flows very nicely and is a 20 minute ferocious assault on the listener. The tracks are short (most of them under three minutes) in typical grindcore/punk fashion. Those of you with ADD will be more than pleased with this release. As someone who wouldn't normally listen to this genre of music, I can tell you it's very well done. It is easy to see that Fuck The Facts is hardworking and has honed their sound over the years. Underworld spoke with the band's drummer Mathieu Vilandre (better known as Vil) about the band, the new EP, touring, and their plans for the future. Here's what he had to say.
Underworld: Tell the readers a little bit about Fuck The Facts.
Vil: We're a 5 piece metal band based out of Ottawa, Canada and we've been going at it since 2001.
Underworld: Who are your biggest influences as a musician?
Vil: I always enjoyed classic composers like Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Chopin and Mozart. Then I got into progressive metal which was kind of an extension of those composers within the metal world; bands like Symphony X and Yngwie Malmsteen and his "neo-classicalism". Then I realized I couldn't really play music properly, so I settled for grindcore. Bands like Cryptopsy, Dying Fetus, Dahmer, Mesrine and Nasum, are what really got me into this shit.
Underworld: How has having a female vocalist impacted the band?
Vil: We get that question a lot. Within the band, it doesn't change anything. It makes people talk a lot, that's for sure, and Mel sometimes has to deal with creepy dudes. I would hope that it inspires other female artists to go ahead with their passion and give it all they've got.
Underworld: How have lineup changes affected the band?
Vil: It obviously made things a bit more complicated for us but at the same time it forced me and Topon to really focus on the music and our creative process. I'm glad we haven't had to deal with this shit in years but it kind of helped make Disgorge Mexico what it is since we were only a 3 piece at the time. Thankfully we found Marc and Johnny about 5 years ago and it's the most solid lineup we've ever had. When you have to spend weeks in a van with a bunch of assholes, you at least want some nice ones.
Underworld: In what ways do you think AMER differs from prior releases?
Vil: It's our first release entirely in French and our first 10". Everyone in the band really participated. Topon, Marc, Johnny and I all wrote songs for it and Mel took care of the lyrics. I also think it's a pretty easy EP to listen to and that it flows particularly well. It's a nice prelude to the new album.
Underworld: You guys were just on tour, what country do you enjoy playing most, Canada or USA?
Vil: I think we all have our preferences but the whole idea is that we like to be somewhere else sharing our music, wherever that may be. We're from Canada so obviously the vibe here is different, we've known most of the people we work with for years. Usually the USA tended to be harder for us but our last tour went great and we had crazy fun. We really just want to play anywhere and meet awesome people.
Underworld: Any crazy tour stories?
Vil: Of course, but I always have a hard time remembering all that shit which makes sense since crazy tour stories pretty much always happen when you're shitfaced. I'm the worst in the band for this, I never remember anything or it's all inside jokes and "you had to be there". I'm pretty much like C3PO, not much of a story teller. We just played in a squat in Spain that had no bathrooms in the venue, people were pissing and shitting outside. Then we noticed there was a river of piss and shit coming from the only toilet in the building on the 2nd floor, I've never smelled something so potent. Liters and liters of human shit under the Spanish sun. Tapas anyone?
Underworld: What is the next step for the band?
Vil: We have some regional shows coming up at the end of August in Ontario and then we'll hit eastern Canada and Newfoundland for the first time. At the same time, we'll work on finishing the new album, all the music is recorded and we are now focusing on the vocals and the extra shit. We are also completing another recording for two potential splits.
It looks like Fuck The Facts will be keeping very busy and we can expect more from them in the near future. Keep up with them on Facebook and check out the new EP on Bandcamp. Happy Listening. Hails!

Embalmination Tour 2013
Embalmer has embarked on their western tour with Forged in Gore, and I (being a Cleveland native) was fortunate enough to catch the first show of the tour in their hometown with featured act, Rottrovore as well as local bands Blood Coven, Funeral Pyre and of course, Forged in Gore. The show was held at Lakewood's only exclusively metal venue, The Foundry. The club is known for being one of many names (The HiFi, The Breakfast Club etc.) but has really come into it's own as a spot for extreme metal. Slow to compete with punk/metal pub, Now That's Class, The Foundry has respectfully become a haven for the underground in the past two years.
Blood Coven was the first band to hit the stage. They kicked off the evening nicely, playing classics, Warmaggedon and Feel My Steel, as well as showcasing their new track Age of Hell, to a lackluster crowd. Perhaps the highpoint of the set, for me at least, was when they played my request, Godless and Wicked. The set was a bit sloppy in places, but not unforgivably so and the pure evil and aggression emanating from the stage, well made up for any slop in the performance. Perhaps the only true disappointment was the utter disinterest, yielding from the crowd. I can not, for the life of me, figure out why Blood Coven hasn't become a greater force in the Cleveland metal scene. Alas, I appeared to be the only person familiar with the material. It was of no consequence to me however, I've been that person numerous times. Blood Coven is truly a band worthy of recognition, so I give you Age of Hell!
Blood Coven's ass kickery made way for black metal outfit Funeral Pyre. Funeral Pyre prefaced their first performance in twenty years with smells of acrid incense and arrant blackness. The crowd prepared for a celebration of evil. The enthusiasm of the crowd would only be met with sheer disappointment, as the set was an utter disaster. The drums were entirely too loud, drowning out sloppily played guitars. Vocalist Brian Sekula, lazily fluttered about a goats skull as he shrieked classic tracks, Prosperity of Satan's Reign and Celtic Sun. Brief moments of harmony were quickly halted by clumsy mistakes, so attempts to get lost in the music or even discern one song from the next, were futile. This band will definitely have to work together and practice more if they intend to gain a following in the underground live circuit. Either that, or remain a studio band.
The show wouldn't be a total bust, however, Forged in Gore hit the stage next to tear our faces off with the brutal death metal Cleveland has become known for. Lightening fast riffing, blast beats and guttural "vokills" characterized the set. Tongue in cheek requests for the band to slow down were met with a proverbial middle finger and even faster playing on the track Afterbirth Hors d' oeuvre. Vocalist/bassist Brian Baxter engaged the crowd even further, inciting mosh pits and interacting with fans. Embalmer vocalist Paul Gorefiend performed guest vocals on a cover song to much approval from the crowd. Forged in Gore put on an incredible set. The band exudes professionalism and can most definitely anticipate a promising future.
We'd all anticipated Embalmer would go on next as initially Rottrevore was supposed to close the show but at that point in the evening everyone was inebriated and logistics mattered little. Rottrovore went on next. Excitement came over the crowd as Rottrevore set the perform their first live show in Cleveland in over 20 years. Although I, personally am not an avid fan of the brutal death foursome, the band did not disappoint diehards, performing classic tracks like Unanimous Approval and Incompetent Secondary to perfection. Rottrovore closed their set with Conspiracised and fittingly the performance was met with "unanimous approval".
The final band of the evening to play was of course, goregrind aficionados, Embalmer. An intoxicated Paul Gorefiend hit the stage, spewing vocals to utter perfection. You would never guess that he was wasted or that he'd injured his ribs at a Goatwhore show months back. Embalmer killed it, performing tracks from their must-have compilation from 1997, There Was Blood Everywhere, such as Rotten Body Fluids, the title track and my favorite, Bone Box. They also introduced new tracks from the soon to be released LP Apocalyptic Bloodshower. The new songs may have even exceeded the aggression found on earlier releases, which excites me for the release of Apocalyptic Bloodshower. The band closed with the classic, I am the Embalmer, paying homage to sole original member Roy Stewart. Embalmer did not fail to meet high expectations and "keep it fucking sick"!
Overall, the show was the definition of underground metal, with exorbitant demo trading, unofficial, laid back meet and greets, heavy promotion and intense gratitude for underground heads. A rapturous evening of gore, dedicated to diehards.
Embalmer is currently touring the west coast with Forged in Gore. Dates are as follows…
6/8 Cleveland, OH
6/11 Kansas City, Missouri
6/14-6/15 Las Vegas Deathfest, Las Vegas, Nevada

Embalmer are Cleveland legends in their own right. Forming back in 1989 under the name Corpsegrinder, original members Roy Stewart, Toby Wulff, Mark Davis and Duane Morris released four demos, Into the Oven, Taxidermist, Rotting Remains and There Was Blood Everywhere, as well as the compilation entitled There Was Blood Everywhere, paving a bloody path for death metal and grindcore bands to come.
After being on hiatus for nine years, Embalmer returned with a vengeance in 2005 to record their first full length album 13 Faces of Death. Despite enduring several lineup changes, the feel of the music has changed little from the straight forward brutal death metal fans have grown to love, which is a true testament to the integrity of the band.
Embalmer is currently in the studio recording their second full length album Apocalyptic Bloodshower and touring with Vital Remains. They have released two new tracks to the public on their 2012 compilation Collection of Carnage, entitled The Origin of Scum and Deities of Filth and Cannibalistic Future. The aggression and brutality of yesteryear remains imminent on the new tracks, to much approval of awaiting fans.
