Chris Robinson Brotherhood Live At The Smith Opera House
The year 2015 is shaping up to be a banner one for the Chris Robinson Brotherhood. With the apparent dissolution of the Black Crowes, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood is now receiving singer/guitarist Chris Robinson's undivided attention. This is not to say he hadn't been devoted before; he established the Chris Robinson Brotherhood as a "farm-to-table psychedelic rock band" by touring relentlessly in 2011 and 2012. Robinson then split time in 2013, touring with the Black Crowes while working on a third album with the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, the lushly textured Phosphorescent Harvest, which dropped in early 2014.
There's no looking back now, as Robinson is all in with the Chris Robinson Brotherhood. Oft-rumored creative tensions with brother Rich perhaps finally doomed the Black Crowes, as the 2013 shows veered between typically brilliant and cookie cutter greatest hits setlists. It's hard to say for certain, but what has become clear is that Chris wants to let his freak flag fly, both figuratively and literally. Chris Robinson Brotherhood shows are draped with a giant American style flag featuring an "F" in the corner. Robinson is fond of speaking about "freak power", the movement first launched in the '60s for those who do not fit into the mainstream and can't help but go their own way.
It's a movement that's been resonating in the 21st century, and definitely in Southern California. The Observatory North Park represents a step up from the band's previous visits to the Belly Up Tavern up the coast in both size and vibe. The theater in San Diego's hip North Park district gives fans far more space to let their own freak flag fly. There's also a plethora of pre-show options for drinking and dining, which is key since the new Observatory is still working out the kinks with their liquor license, which currently fails to allow drinks in the theater area. But everything was coming up Chris Robinson Brotherhood on 29 May, as savvy fans could even find the Brotherhood Steam beer, the band's delicious dry-hopped collaboration with San Francisco's Anchor Brewing, at certain local stores.
All factors coalesced for a freak power party that drew all the usual suspects from the local scene. Familiar faces were all around, pumped and ready to rock for an evening with the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, save perhaps a couple stragglers who didn't realize they wouldn't be hearing Black Crowes songs. They, however, were soon converted by the Brotherhood. Robinson is out to blaze a fresh trail with new music, yet one that is still based in the classic rock roots and adventurous jamming for which he's long been known.
The band wasted no time lighting a fuse, opening with the bluesy swagger of "There's a Good Rockin' Tonight". The midtempo tune had the perfect vibe to get the room moving and grooving. "We're gonna rock all our blues away", sang Robinson, connecting immediately with a congregation that was ready to let the good times roll. "Badlands Here We Come" showed another dimension of the band's sound, veering into a darker sort of cowboy tale yet tinged with the band's trademark psychedelia. The good rockin' energy was rolling again on "Little Lizzy May", with a groove recalling the bluesy shuffle of the Grateful Dead's "New Speedway Boogie". The jam segued expertly into "Can You Hear Me", which surged with a raucous energy and guitar twang that brought Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" to mind.
The band shifted gears again with "100 Days of Rain", slipping into an Americana vibe, yet with keyboardist Adam MacDougall bringing some ambient psychedelia into the mix for a lush jam. "Meanwhile the Gods" also opened up into a deep jam where lead guitarist Neal Casal cut loose, showing his multi-dimensional skills, yet playing for the song as always. The band threw a great curveball with a set closing groove that sure sounded like the Grateful Dead's "Loose Lucy", but featured Robinson singing the lyrics of Johnny Cash's "Big River" (also a longtime Dead staple.) A Grateful Dead song or two has become a staple of the repertoire, what with Robinson being a longtime Head who has toured with both Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. With the Grateful Dead preparing to wrap an illustrious 50 year career with their "Fare Thee Well" shows in Chicago this summer, there's a comforting assurance in knowing that next generation talents like the Chris Robinson Brotherhood will still be around to carry the torch.
This became even more apparent when the band threw down a smoking rendition of "Get Out My Life, Woman" in the second set, a funky staple of the Jerry Garcia Band. Drummer Tony Leone and bassist Mark "Muddy" Dutton had been clicking all night, but the groove they laid down here led the quintet to gel in that special way where the music plays the band. MacDougall threw down a big organ solo a la Melvin Seals, while Casal and Dutton threw in "Jungle Boogie" teases. The energy surged higher still when Robinson broke out his harmonica for a stellar solo that truly conjured visions of Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, complete with appreciative hooting and hollering from the crowd.
The medicinal sonic magic peaked on "Vibration and Light Suite", a transcendent song that can stand with anything the Black Crowes ever produced. The band gelled again here with Robinson on rhythm guitar, while Casal and MacDougall weaved melodic lines in masterful fashion to synch with the stellar groove from the Dutton and Leone. The jam took the audience on a true sonic journey, at first conjuring the uplifting power of the Dead at their peak circa 1974 before evolving as other classic rock influences from across the decades carried the jam further. Cosmic freakout tones made it feel like the Chris Robinson Brotherhood was on a rocket to Saturn for a freak power jamboree with the Sun Ra Arkestra, before beaming back down to terra firma.
With feet back on the ground, the band took it old school for a smoking take on the ever popular "Hard to Handle", the Otis Redding/Grateful Dead staple the Crowes had a hit with on their first album. The dance party was in high gear, as it seemed like a big finish to close the show, but the band capped the already triumphant set with "Rosa Lee", yet another of their biggest jam vehicles. The last three songs of the set were akin to three homeruns in a row.
"We've created a piece of rock 'n' roll here. People can look to us and rest assure the genre is alive and well", says Robinson at the band's site. It's no idle boast. He's like a mythical troubadour who truly is all about the music, and the Chris Robinson Brotherhood is out to prove it on a nightly basis.
Tickets are $20 advance general admission and $25 at the door.

That's right you are in the html view of the API right now. You are probably here because you want to implement color search. The goal of this documentation is to make that task easier. This site is the API but also live documentation on how it works and a great place to go for troubleshooting. Implementing color search is a two step process. The first step is to have us index all your color things by color. The second step is for you to write a great front end to this API so your users can discover your things by color.
Colors A color is the hexadecimal representation of color in the rgb color space.
Swatches A swatch is snippet of colors from a single thing associated with the metadata for that thing.
Palettes (coming soon) A palette is a collection of colors with a palette type. Palette types include arrangements such as coordinating, analogous, "look great together" and "perfectly mismatched".
In order for ColorOf to index your things by color you need to publish the data we need for the swatch creation process. You will need to create an account to publish. If you want to automate (POST /swatches) publishing via this API you will need a paid for ColorOf Pro account. We also offer a free solution for publishing with the pub1 swatch creation tool. Search request queries are always free and open.
* This is the maximum number of swatches we will search through to find a match. We will search the latest publish up to the max. You can publish an unlimited number of swatches.
Some methods of the ColorOf API require authentication to access them. In order to authenticate with our API you need an API Key and API Secret. To see your API Key and Secret login to your ColorOf Pro account and navigate to API Tokens. Once you have your API Key and API Secret you can start signing your ColorOf API requests that require authentication. To sign a request you must format the URL you are requesting access to in a specific manner and then encrypted that formatted URL with your API Secret as the key using Rijndael 256 CBC encryption. In this chart you will find an example to help clarify the encryption formula.
The final request you make into ColorOf will be the SIGNED_URL. Based on the data in the signed URL we can verify that your account has proper permissions to access the requested resource. If you do not generate and make the request using the signed URL quickly enough the API may deny your request. If you use a timestamp for REQ_TS in any time zone other than GMT your request may also be denied. It is important that your server's clock is accurate. We highly recommended that the system clock you are requesting your ColorOf resource from is synced with an NTP server for more information about NTP visit (http://www.pool.ntp.org).

What's Changed In Egypt Since Morsi Took Office
NEAL CONAN, HOST:
This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan, in Washington. In just over two months in office, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has asserted himself on several fronts. Just weeks after his election, he fired several senior defense officials, effectively seizing power from the military government that ruled after former President Hosni Mubarak stepped down.
He ordered airstrikes on Islamists in the Sinai Peninsula, cracked down on critics in the press, and President Morsi has been a visible actor in world affairs. He made his first trip outside the country, to China. He disappointed the United States by going to the Non-aligned Summit in Tehran where he then stunned his hosts and angered Syria with a full embrace for Syria's rebels.
If you've been following events in Egypt, what's surprised you since President Morsi took office? 800-989-8255. Email us, talk@npr.org. You can also join the conversation on our website. That's at npr.org. Click on TALK OF THE NATION.
Later in the program, does your identity live on after you die? But first the new Egypt, and we begin with Leila Fadel, NPR foreign correspondent covering Egypt for years. She joins us now from Cairo. Nice to have you back on TALK OF THE NATION.
LEILA FADEL, BYLINE: Nice to be here, thank you.
CONAN: And President Morsi's boldest move, no doubt, was to fire some of the defense chiefs who had been trying to limit his powers.
FADEL: Yes, I think that really shocked everybody here in Egypt, observers of Egypt, because many people saw him as an uncharismatic leader who was in the pocket of the military council. And he took this bold move and got rid of the top two generals of that council and promoted his allies and has since continued to make bold moves in the same manner.
CONAN: Does that mean that he has effectively seized control of the military, that Egyptians' civilian-elected president is now in charge of the military?
FADEL: I think that might be going a little bit too far. It seems clear from what happened is that he negotiated a deal with younger members of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces and was able to bring those men up while exploiting the dissatisfaction with the leadership from within the military.
And so I would say it was more of a deal that allowed him to take back both presidential power but also legislative power while continuing to please what is still a very powerful force in Egypt, the military.
CONAN: So the military's economic privileges and that sort of thing, those are untouched?
FADEL: So far. I mean, of course we don't know all the ins and outs of this deal until we see what the constitution looks like, which has still not been written, but the drafts that are leaking out show that their economic interests will be protected. And again, we won't have parliament oversight over that budget. It will be a one-line item that goes to parliament.
So for now, it looks like the military still has the protections they want, which was probably part of this decision. But I wouldn't, you know, under - I wouldn't rob from that decision that Morsi made. It really turned things around for him. It came right after this major attack in Sinai that killed 16 Egyptian soldiers. He was unable to attend that funeral because there was so much animosity towards him. And he was able to really turn the tides by saying hey, I'm the president, and I'm going to change the military council.
And since then, he's gotten a lot more widespread support, publicly, than he had before he made that move.
CONAN: And that attack in the Sinai at the crossing, that really is his first crisis. Islamist militants attacked the border post, killed 16 people who were completely unprepared for this and then crossed into Israel where they were killed, in turn, by the Israelis. President Morsi responded to this by attacking some of those forces in Sinai that have been allowed to, more or less, run rampant the last few years.
FADEL: Well at least publicly we're seeing that there's a (technical difficulties) campaign, but it actually seems that on the ground, the military campaign that's going on in Sinai is a lot less active than it's being showed to be - or than it's being showed on state television and state media.
When you speak to Sinai residents and Sinai tribal leaders, they actually say a lot of it is quite exaggerated and for public consumption. But that, yes, is his first crisis. He has to show that he can not only secure Sinai but secure Egypt, which has been dealing with a larger security vacuum in general since the revolution last year.
CONAN: And in the process, he had his first dealings with Israel.
FADEL: Well, his - the military definitely has dealt with Israel. There's been no direct contact other than this letter, which was supposedly from the president here through official channels to the Israeli government, which was then denied by Morsi. But there has been coordination between the Egyptian military and the Israeli military about that border point.
CONAN: Tahrir Square there in Cairo, the flashpoint of the Arab spring, the place where, really, Mubarak was brought down by huge crowds, huge numbers of demonstrators who defied him, and eventually the military took their side, and Mubarak was out. Eventually, of course, Morsi elected. What is the street like now? What is Tahrir Square like today?
FADEL: It's pretty empty, actually. I mean, the last major protest that we saw in Tahrir was an anti-Brotherhood protest. But because of the moves that Morsi took against the military just before that protest, it really undercut it, and it was only a few hundred people.
So today it's just a traffic circle with a few tents of people who are against the Brotherhood rule - which is the organization that Mohammed Morsi comes from - and people driving through, really.
CONAN: Joining us now is Steven Cook, a senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, the author of "The Struggle for Egypt: From Nassir to Tahrir Square." He's with us at the studios at the council here in Washington, and nice to have you back on the program.
STEVEN COOK: Pleasure to be with you.
CONAN: And what does Morsi's - particularly the move to fire the generals who seem to want to stay on top in Egypt - what does that say about this new president?
COOK: Well, it's clear that President Morsi was not going to accept the June 17 constitutional decree that was issued by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces that essentially gutted his powers in the fields of national security and defense policy. And it is abundantly clear that in keeping with this idea of him as - or his reputation of kind of having a fighting spirit, he cultivated another round of - another rung of officers and promised them promotion, immunity and relief from having to run Egypt on a day-to-day basis, and was able to thus oust his primary opponents in the process of accumulating his power, that is Field Marshal Tantawi, the former chief of staff; Lieutenant General Sami Anan; the officers around those two officers.
I think that certainly Morsi has taken some very important steps towards consolidating his power; however, it doesn't tell us much about what the future trajectory of Egypt will be.
CONAN: There was another force in addition to those military leaders that was a break on his authority, and that was Egypt's supreme court.
COOK: Indeed, and it's interesting that Morsi has not chosen to take on the judiciary until now. I think that that's a function of the fact that the judiciary is largely held in high regard by many Egyptians. The military certainly was, and the idea of the military certainly remains important to most Egyptians, but those senior officers had compromised themselves by the way in which they ruled Egypt in the 18 months between Mubarak's fall and Morsi's election.
I think much depends, going forward, on what this new constitution is going to look like, what the formal relationship will be between the president, the government and the military, where does the judiciary sit in the separation of powers in the new Egypt.
I think the major problem in Egypt, and I think virtually everybody would agree, is that there has been too much power wielded by the executive branch at the expense of both the judiciary and the legislative branch, and I think analysts are going to look to see how that all shakes itself out in the new constitution.
CONAN: Leila Fadel, let me turn back to you. The elected legislature, banned then by the supreme court, met one afternoon and then disbanded again. Have they taken steps to reassert themselves?
FADEL: No, right now the president of Egypt is also the parliament of Egypt. So the concern on a lot of Morsi's opponents is that he really is an all-powerful leader at this point and could reshape the country if he wanted to. He has said that until a new parliament is elected, because there's no plans to put the old parliament back together, he won't use that legislative power unless absolutely necessary.
So far, he's used it one time, to release a journalist who was being held in custody while his trial is pending.
CONAN: We're talking about the new Egypt under its new President Mohammed Morsi, 800-989-8255. Email us, talk@npr.org. And let's see if we can get Pete(ph) on the line, and he's with us from Florida.
PETE: This is really a privilege, thank you.
CONAN: Go ahead, please.
PETE: When Sadat was put in a position of authority by Nassir, he was considered to be kind of a yes-man. His nickname was Colonel Yes-Yes. But he turned out to be a real strong leader, and it seems like the Egyptian president now has kind of knocked off the roaring lions that were on the first team, and he's kind of put people in position who are his allies and may or may not be capable.
And my question for our guest is: Is this going to be the pattern in Egyptian politics, where the president, as he sees new threats approach, whether the people are in the military or some other form of the government, are they going to be pushed aside for maybe less-able people that's going to weaken Egypt in the long run?
CONAN: Steven Cook, you've been writing lately about patterns in Egypt's power politics.
COOK: Well, in fact it's interesting that the caller raises the issue of Sadat, because in many ways, what President Morsi has done and the way he has gone about moving out this senior rung of military officers, is reminiscent of what Anwar Sadat did in May 1971, which was subsequently called the Corrective Revolution, in which he also cultivated a rung of younger officers to replace a group that was loyal to the previous president.
I wouldn't draw the conclusion that these new officers that have been promoted by Morsi are somehow less competent than Field Marshal Tantawi and Lieutenant General Sami Anan and their fellow officers. Tantawi did not have a good reputation as a capable military officer, though Anan did.
And if we want to go back to historical patterns, the people that Sadat cultivated and promoted at the expense of loyalists to his predecessor, Nassir, were the ones who planned and successfully executed Egypt's crossing of the Suez Canal on October 6th, 1973, which is Egypt's greatest modern military achievement.
CONAN: And Leila Fadel, how much do we know about this new cadre of top military commanders?
FADEL: Well, we know that they - for example, Sisi, the new defense minister, was one of the generals that defended controversial virginity tests. Women were basically sexually assaulted when they were detained by the military. So it's not that they're reformist or revolutionary or anything like that, but they are, as Steven Cook said, is that they're being cultivated to consolidate the Brotherhood power. They are not opponents to the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is coming into a bureaucracy that has been raised to suspect them, and so now they're trying to consolidate power with allies in powerful positions.
CONAN: We're talking about Egypt after the Arab spring. If you've been following events there, what's surprised you since Mohammed Morsi took office as president? 800-989-8255. Email talk@npr.org. Stay with us. I'm Neal Conan. It's the TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.
CONAN: This is TALK OF THE NATION; I'm Neal Conan. In the old Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood was banned and repressed. Now a member of that party serves as president. Women on state TV under Hosni Mubarak were effectively forbidden to wear headscarves. On Sunday, the midday news anchor took the air with a plain, bone-colored scarf wrapped around her head and neck, the first woman to do that on state TV in 50 years.
Some call that religious freedom; others fear it's a sign the Muslim Brotherhood plans to enforce religious law in a country that's long kept religion and government apart. We're talking today about the new Egypt and what's changed in recent months. If you've been following events in Egypt, what's surprised you since Morsi took office? 800-989-8255. Email us, talk@npr.org. You can also join the conversation at our website. That's at npr.org. Click on TALK OF THE NATION.
Our guests are NPR foreign correspondent Leila Fadel and - with us from Cairo; and Steven Cook, who's here in Washington. He's a senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. He wrote the book "The Struggle for Egypt." And Leila Fadel, let me ask you about that newscaster. How much of a surprise was that?
FADEL: Well, I mean, of course it's a surprise. This is the first time in history that a woman was able to cover her head on state television. And most Egyptian women do cover their hair. And so for decades, they have not seen themselves reflected on state television.
So this was actually quite a big step but also a superficial step. I think the bigger question about media is what do they do with these state institutions who have long been a servant to an autocrat, who have long been there to prop up a leadership and tell the people how great they are.
So the bigger question is: Is this state television going to be, now, an apparatus to boost the Brotherhood, their ideology and their plans, or is this going to be an actual facet to tell the truth to Egyptians?
CONAN: And there's also been some other people, in the independent media, who have been coming under attack.
FADEL: Yes, I mean, Morsi has really been under fire for what his critics say is him trying to oppress freedom of speech. Of course, there are quite stringent media laws that will, if you're going to protect the press, you'll have to really reform. But right now, you have an editor of Dustour newspaper, which has been quite critical of the Muslim Brotherhood, to the point where they've called for a military coup. He's on trial. As well as a fiery television host who is accused of inciting violence against the president.
So these are alarming indicators, although each case, of course, if you look at it in its own right, you have to see - like Tawfiq Okasha, who went on television, basically called the president's blood fair game, which I'm not sure would be OK in the United States, either.
But generally, people are concerned that the only people going on trial for media crimes of any kind are those that are criticizing the Brotherhood. So this is an alarming indication, in his first few months, to right away go after his critics.
CONAN: And Steven Cook, that raises the suspicion that the Brotherhood is being elevated to a new one-party state.
COOK: Well, indeed that is the suspicion on the part of the Brotherhood's opponents and some observers, that we would be swapping out the - Mubarak's National Democratic Party, and in its place is Morsi's Freedom and Justice Party. I think the Freedom and Justice Party has a long way to go before it institutionalizes the kind of power that the NDP once had.
But developments, particularly the way in which the government has gone after certain members of the press, the fact that the state still controls major media outlets, the fact that the government seems to believe that these are appropriate in the new Egypt raises concerns about the Brotherhood's commitment to forging a more democratic and open society.
CONAN: Let's get another caller in on the conversation. Andy's(ph) on the line with us from Sterling in Connecticut.
ANDY: Hi, thanks for taking my call.
CONAN: Sure, go ahead, please.
ANDY: I'd just like to express a kind of broad sentiment that I don't have a very nuanced understanding of a lot of the things going on. There's so much that I don't think any one person can really get a grip on, at all. But I am very, very glad to see that Mohammed Morsi has been a surprising leader to a lot of major powers in the area.
And I think in some ways it's been a long time coming to see a power in the Middle East that kind of represents interests of the Middle East rather than, you know, the Western powers or, you know, Russia or - it's kind of the birth of a powerful voice that belongs solely to the Middle East. And I hope that he continues to surprise the world.
And I reserve a lot of optimism. I - you know, things could certainly go south, but it's nice to see something so new and so promising.
CONAN: Thanks for the call, Andy, and Leila Fadel, are Egyptians optimistic? Do they think real change is happening?
FADEL: I think people are really unsure. So much is - this is only two months. So much is unwritten. They haven't seen their constitution. They don't know what it will say about the role of religion, the role of the parliament, the role of the executive, who will hold the power. So it's still really unclear.
I do think that Morsi's move against the top echelons of the military did make people feel like OK, we have a powerful president. The fact that Morsi came out and said you know what, our foreign policy is going to be more balanced now, we are going to bring back the powerful Egypt, the respected Egypt of the past also made people happy - the way that he made Egyptians feel proud of their president, the way that he sat up a non-aligned meeting in Iran, Syria's biggest backer, and called Bashar al-Assad's presidency illegitimate, his government illegitimate, again that also was something that surprised Egyptians and made them feel that maybe they do have a powerful president.
But on the other hand, there is a lot of concern that the Muslim Brotherhood is trying - instead of reforming the institutions, is just reshuffling to put sympathizers within these organizations. So when you look at state media, for example, the new heads of a lot of these newspapers and state television are seen as Muslim Brotherhood allies, sympathizers.
And so the bigger concern is: Will this just be superficial, a lot of talk with Muslim Brotherhood people being put in the top ranks of a system that does not really serve the people, or will there be true reforms in security, media and those - and freedom of expression?
CONAN: Let's go to Norman(ph), and Norman's with us from San Leandro in California.
NORMAN: Hello, I'm - was alarmed when I heard that Morsi went to Iran to I guess talk to them about the struggle in Syria. And now we know, I guess, we understand at least that Iran is supporting the Assad regime. And now I'm, you know, the people that are struggling against the regime are Sunni. And now supposedly Morsi is a Sunni also, but yet he's going to Iran to discuss Syria. That whole thing was very suspicious.
CONAN: Norman, he went to Iran and promptly denounced the Syrian government, which prompted a walkout by the Syrian delegation. I think, Steven Cook, if I'm correct, his hosts were not terribly pleased at this.
COOK: Indeed they were very unhappy with the fact that Morsi spoke out so forthrightly against the Assad regime, as you said before, calling the Assad's presidency illegitimate. I think that there was some concern among some observers when Morsi went to Iran, that somehow this was the beginning of a new relationship between Egypt and Iran, some sort of Cairo-Tehran axis.
I think in keeping with Morsi's desire to pursue a more independent foreign policy, there is going to be a new relationship between Egypt and Iran. But I don't think it's going to be one of strategic cooperation. Ultimately, the relationship will be better between those two countries, but more likely it'll be one of strategic competition.
The Egyptians believe themselves to be in many ways a natural leader of the region, just as the Iranians want to extend their influence throughout the region, and I think that leads the two countries to a more competitive relationship rather than a cooperative one.
CONAN: And a more independent foreign policy, i.e., not so closely aligned with Washington.
COOK: Indeed, that's the case. And I think that is what many Egyptians want. I don't believe that that is a function of Islamist politics per se. that's not just the platform of the Muslim Brotherhood. But the relationship, the strategic alignment between Mubarak's Egypt and the United States, was profoundly unpopular among a variety of Egyptians across the political spectrum. And a more independent foreign policy, one that is focused specifically on what Egypt's interests in the region are is likely to make Egypt a more important player in the region than it was over the course of the last 10 years or so.
CONAN: But Leila Fadel, inevitably his authority, his power, it's going to rest on whether he can get the economy restarted.
FADEL: Right, I mean, it's all well and good to say I want a more independent policy, I want an independent foreign policy, but really Egypt needs foreign investment right now. They need foreign loans. They need money from Washington, from Saudi Arabia, and, you know, as a lot of his trip to China showed, from China.
So they're going to take it from wherever it goes. So in many ways, his hands are tied behind his back until he can stabilize this economy. But by taking foreign loans - like the IMF loan that has some tacit approval here now - it's also concerning because Islamists and activists for a long time associated those loans with the corruption of the Mubarak regime.
CONAN: And how is the economy doing? Is - are people going back to work at all?
FADEL: Well, I mean, foreign reserves are up. The stock market is supposedly up now. But, you know, unemployment is high. People don't feel that not only is it worse than before the revolution, there were promises that it would get better. We have rolling blackouts throughout the capital, a lack of fresh water, potable water for people. So really, people are very concerned about the basic necessities of life, you know, bread, water, power and employment, and none of that has really improved in a way that people can see.
CONAN: Let's go to Brendan, Brendan on the line with us from Las Vegas.
BRENDAN: Hi. I was just wondering how the Coptic Orthodox Christians are fairing.
CONAN: Leila Fadel?
FADEL: The Coptic community is concerned about living under an Islamist government. There haven't been major attacks like we saw over the past year, since Morsi took power. We haven't seen extreme sectarian violence, except in Dahshour, which was a big problem. A lot of Copts were pushed out of the village by - after a fight over a burnt shirt, basically, between a Muslim man and a Coptic Christian. And it's an issue that, really, nobody has been willing to grapple with.
And Morsi has, so far, also not shown any ability yet to get beyond this religious conflict between the Coptic community and the Muslim community. So a lot of Copts are very concerned that now they will live under a religious government.
CONAN: There are other groups that have concerns, the - some of the secular people who helped bring about the Arab Spring. And there are, of course, a lot of women who are concerned about the future under what could be Shariah law.
FADEL: Well, I mean, the Muslim Brotherhood has given no indication that they plan to cover up all the women and institute Islamic law tomorrow. I mean, I think, ultimately, the Muslim Brotherhood, as an organization, sees Shariah law or Islamic law as the best law for the land. But we still haven't seen this constitution and what it will say about Islamic law, and those are hard-fought battles being fought right now.
But I think it's a little bit alarmist to think that Egypt will turn into a Taliban state tomorrow. I think that the Brotherhood is a little too pragmatic for that right now. I don't think those social issues are at the top of their priority list when they have to deal with a faltering economy.
And another thing that the Brotherhood often points out is that they were elected, and the parliament's about to be elected, too. So if the secular and liberal factions of this society want to do well here in the government and have their say, they should start mobilizing for elections the way the Brotherhood did, and I think that's a fair point.
CONAN: We're talking with Leila Fadel, NPR foreign correspondent in Cairo. Steven Cook is also with us from the Council of Foreign Relations. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION, from NPR News.
And John's on the line with us from High Falls in Wilmington, North Carolina.
JOHN: Yes. Good afternoon.
CONAN: Afternoon.
JOHN: I was just - I just tuned in, so I just caught a little bit of the conversation, but I actually just stepped off a plane from Cairo two days ago. And as a (unintelligible), a man on the street, I've found it's a kind of an exciting, most secure place, just stayed in a hotel off Tahrir Square and got caught up in a little demonstration on Friday evening. So it was interesting.
CONAN: And were you there as a tourist, or on business?
JOHN: Well, on business for just a real quick trip. But the interesting perspective should be from the people that I came in contact with, the taxi drivers and the people in hotels, and they see this administration as kind of a foundation, if you will. I mean, there's a lot of pitfalls ahead of them that I think everybody is aware of, and it's not going to be perfect. But there's a sense of excitement, I think, for the people on the street that good things are coming. And tourism is another aspect that they want to get rolling as quickly as possible in Egypt.
CONAN: Well, thanks very much for the report. Appreciate it.
JOHN: Sure.
CONAN: And, Steven Cook, as - it's going to take some convincing to get the flow of tourists back.
COOK: I think that's certainly the case. Tourism has essentially collapsed in Egypt. There was a trickle back over the spring and summer, but really, Egypt is - Egypt's tourist industry has been devastated by the events over the course of the last 18 months. And given the fact that tourism is one of the most important - it certainly is in the top three of foreign currency earners for Egypt. The fact that President Morsi, if he can establish some stability and the Egyptians can signal to the world that Egypt is opening to tourism, that would certainly help the Egyptian economy.
But, of course, there are all these concerns. Will Morsi and the Brotherhood, will they ban alcohol in tourism hotels? What kind of tourism would they want to see? Egypt has become - particularly the South Sinai - has become an attractive beach destination for European tourists. Would that continue to be the case? Clearly, tourism factors extraordinarily large in Egypt's economy and will need to have a major rebound before the Egyptian economy can get going again.
CONAN: Leila Fadel, you've said several times the constitution and what it says is going to be critical to the future, not just for President Morsi, but to the future of Egypt. What's the timetable now?
FADEL: They're talking about the end of September now for a final draft of that constitution. Again, that is something that has consistently been put off, if you will, and something that - the biggest battle between the military, the Muslim Brotherhood, the seculars, the liberals is over right now.
So, really, until we see that document and what it will say and whether people will accept it, we won't know what Egypt will look like. And another point that a lot of people talk about when they watch Morsi, this untested leader, take the reins of power, they talk about how this really is a test for political Islam. This was a banned group. Like you said, Morsi himself was imprisoned here. So if they fail or succeed, this may be the rise or fall of political Islam in Egypt and possibly beyond.
CONAN: Leila Fadel, thank you very much for your time today.
CONAN: NPR foreign correspondent Leila Fadel, with us from Cairo. Steven Cook, nice to have you back on the program. Appreciate it.
COOK: Great to be with you again. Thanks.

Sloup headlines Bulldog All-Nebraska selections
BY Concordia Athletics | April 19, 2019
Home › News › Regional Sports
SEWARD, Neb. – A trio of standouts from the Concordia University men's basketball team collected NAIA/NCAA Division III All-Nebraska accolades this April, as chosen by the Omaha World-Herald. Junior Brevin Sloup highlighted the group by landing on the All-Nebraska second team. Meanwhile, freshman Carter Kent and junior Tanner Shuck received honorable mention recognition.
Sloup starred as the team's most dependable offensive weapon in his first season as a starter in 2018-19. The Seward High School product led the team with a scoring average of 16.4 points (11th among GPAC players). Sloup also averaged 3.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists while starting all 31 games. He turned in shooting percentages of 43.5 from the field, 40.8 from 3-point range and 86.5 from the free throw line. Sloup racked up a career high 33 points in the victory over Briar Cliff and was named the GPAC Player of the Week. One of the league's top shooters, Sloup finished with GPAC rankings of second in free throw percentage and 10th in 3-point field goal percentage.
Kent became the second Bulldog during the GPAC era (2000-present) to earn the conference freshman of the year award (Joel Haywood picked up the same honor in 2011-12). The native of Crete, Neb., immediately jumped into the starting lineup as a rookie and averaged 10.4 points per game (third on the team). The all-time leading scorer at Crete High School also totaled 90 rebounds and 64 assists while playing in all 31 games. He shot 39.4 percent from the floor, 33.8 percent from 3-point range and 76.3 percent from the free throw line. Kent's season high of 26 points was achieved in the 102-92 upset of then No. 7 Briar Cliff on Jan. 12.
This past season Shuck became the 30th member of the program's 1,000-point club. Now tied for 24th on the program's all-time scoring list (1,123), the Grand Island, Neb., native averaged 13.5 points in 2018-19 and led the team with 40 steals while starting all 31 games. Shuck shot 40.7 percent from the field, 36.1 percent from 3-point range and 82.3 percent from the foul line. His shining moment of the campaign was a 23-point performance that included the game-winning 3-point shot at Hastings on Jan. 9.

Iceland rises from ashes of banking crisis – timeline
Reykjavik to relax restrictions introduced after banking collapse in 2008 as it attempts to strengthen global ties

Iceland, which became an emblem of the 2008 global financial meltdown, hopes to end its isolation by lifting capital controls imposed during the crisis.
The country's banking system is taken over by the government, after its three largest banks run out of money. Glitnir, Landsbanki and Kaupthing have amassed assets 10 times greater than the size of Iceland's annual economic output, but can no longer fund themselves.
The collapse of Landsbanki means that 400,000 British and Dutch savers who have put money into its Icesave accounts have lost their deposits. The UK and the Netherlands say they will be refunded in full using taxpayers' funds.
Alistair Darling, then chancellor of the exchequer, uses anti-terrorism powers to freeze Landsbanki's UK assets.
Iceland imposes capital controls to protect the krona and stop foreign currency flooding out of the country.
The government receives a $2.1bn (£1.4bn) loan from the International Monetary Fund, the first western European state to get an IMF bailout since 1976.
Prime minister Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir's centre-left coalition is elected on a promise to apply for EU membership.
Icelandic voters overwhelmingly reject a referendum proposal to pay the UK and the Netherlands €4bn in compensation for the collapse of Icesave.
The Eyjafjallajökull volcano begins erupting, creating a giant ash cloud that hovers over the Europe and grounds flights for more than a week.
Iceland's government agrees a plan to repay the UK and the Netherlands €4bn lost in the Icesave collapse. The final repayment will be made by 2046.
Iceland's voters reject the Icesave repayment plan in a second referendum. On this occasion, 58% voted no, compared with 93% who voted against an even tougher plan in the first referendum.
Fitch credit-rating agency raises Iceland's rating to BBB-, meaning the country is fit for investment.
Iceland wins a sweeping victory at the court of the European Free Trade Association, upholding the government's decision not to compensate the UK and the Netherlands for the lost Landsbanki deposits.
A centre-right Eurosceptic coalition comes to power. The Social Democrats are punished at the ballot box, after four years of austerity tailored to international lenders' requirements.
The government announces it is no longer seeking EU membership.
Iceland's parliament approves measures to ease the end of capital controls.

Offended Woman Says Mike Rowe's 'Hard Work' Ethic Belittles Higher Education. Here's His Biting Response.
TV star Mike Rowe posted an NPR article to Facebook on Thursday that noted the massive number of vacant high-paying trade jobs as high school graduates continue to sign up for four-year-degrees. The post, which included commentary from Rowe, was not well received by everyone, especially one woman who was offended by Rowe's pro-"hard work" mantra, telling him he's attacking higher education and shaming those who choose to attend university.
"Yesterday, I posted an article that dared to question the universal wisdom of pushing everyone toward a four-year degree. The article reached 3 million people, and not everyone was pleased," posted Rowe on Friday.
Here's what one Dawn Baker wrote to Mr. Rowe: "Is it your intent to make those who choose college to feel ashamed, lazy and brainwashed? Our country's education system is under attack, and you seem to be supplying more ammunition to those attacking it......There's a reason many of these jobs pay well - they are truly HARD WORK - physically hard. Dangerous hard. Mentally hard. Feel free to send reps to the local unemployment office and brow beat them to send people to these jobs. Whether you mean to or not - your are sending a very bad message to those who want to destroy our higher education system."
The former "Dirty Jobs" star agreed with Baker about higher education being under attack — sort of. "You're right — our countries educational system is indeed under attack. But the attack is from within, and the wounds are self-inflicted," he explained.
Rowe noted a so-called "cry closet" at the University of Utah, and Fresno State professor Ranga Jarrar slandering Barbara Bush as a racist witch in the hours after her death and bragging about her tenure, as recent examples of high ed falling short, to put it mildly.
"Point is, Dawn, the hypocrisy in our educational system is rank, the bias undeniable, the disrespect for our flag ubiquitous, and the entire 'safe space' mentality the exact opposite of what life is like in the real world. Higher education has created its own PR nightmare," he wrote. "Is it any wonder parents are trying to figure out if their kids should be sent into such a lopsided environment? Is it any wonder reasonable people are beginning to question the value of a four-year degree?"
He continued, "Tuition has increased at two and half times the rate of inflation. Nothing else this important has ever done that. Not real estate, energy, food, even healthcare. The question is why? Is the quality of education two and half times better than it was thirty years ago? No way. Are universities turning out more graduates? Hardly. Fifty percent of those who enroll don't even graduate. Do people have more disposable income today than they used to? Of course not.
"No, universities have been able to raise their prices partly because too many parents believe that anything less than a four-year degree will doom their kid to a less productive existence, and partly because we've pressured millions of kids to borrow whatever it takes from a bottomless pool of unlimited money that doesn't really exist. The result? One and a half trillion dollars of student debt, 6.3 million jobs that no one wants to do, and millions of college graduates who can't find work in their chosen fields — but lack the skill to do the kind of jobs currently available. The kind of jobs you deem, 'hard work.'"
Summing up his point, Rowe told Baker that his "intent is not to make those who choose college feel 'ashamed, lazy or brainwashed.' My intent is to remind people that a university is not the only place to enrich your mind or prepare yourself for the real world. Nor is it necessarily the best place. It's merely the most expensive. Other options exist, including those offered through my scholarship fund. Please feel free to apply, should your position at Oregon University ever vanish. Or, should you one day conclude that work is not the enemy."

The Yemeni rocketry forces launched on Thursday a missile type Zilzal-1 on the Saudi army in Jizan region, a military source told SABA.
The missile targeted gatherings of Saudi soldiers and their military vehicles in Mishaal site, the source added.
Separately, army fired a Zilzal-1 missile to gatherings of coalition's militia off Alb crossing in Asir region.
In a different context, Yemen's national delegation to the Geneva talks accused the United Nations of disclaiming the agreement pertaining its participation in the peace negotiations.
It also stressed that it would join the political event when an Omani plane is provided to carry the members of the delegation as well as a number of the wounded, adding that guaranteeing their return to Sanaa is a must in this context.

We'll do this for you whilst simultaneously finding you all the safest, most generous and exiting, and, of course, above board online casinos which are available to US players on the market today!

Then, all you'll have to do is go and get started on your exiting new online casino journey without a hitch!
Currently there remains some inconsistency over the regulation of online gambling for residents of the USA.
The limited number of States that permit online gambling and the failure of federal legislation to be fully brought up to date without conflicting with States' rights means that many feel uncertain about trying their luck in a digital casino.
Do some basic research - make sure the online casino is established and registered to operate in your area. You should be able to find out through your local State Gambling Commission, or, by contacting the online casino itself, via their Live Chat or Call Centre facility.
Make sure you're in one of the States that currently allows online gambling. These are currently New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Others are due to follow, including New York and New Hampshire but check with your local authorities if you're not sure whether your State has gone all in.
Have a Visa or MasterCard ready for international use, to make your deposit. Whilst US banks are prohibited from making transfers to offshore gambling websites, there are no such restrictions on card payments. Winnings can be received by wire or by check courier with no problem. If you're particularly tech-savvy, you could also use a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.
Guard your personal details. Be wary about which devices you use to gamble online, make sure only you have access and try to avoid passwords and usernames being automatically stored. Also, remember to keep your antivirus updated!

You may be surprised to hear that 70% o f casino gaming revenues come from slot machines alone in the United States.
Despite sometimes having a 'slightly' lower expected return, players love Slots because they offer much more than many other games in terms of variety, entertainment value and because they require little to no tactical knowledge, they're also super fun and easy to learn and play.
All these things and so much more go into making Video Slots THE most popular variety of game to be played in America today!
With a massive variety of themes, features, and yes payouts, Video Slots offer Free Spins and Bonus Games, Scatters and Wild Symbols, and awesome Interactive Videos!
Some licensed Slots even acquire permissions to feature aspects from movies, TV shows, video games, musical acts, comic books, or other elements from today's popular culture.
You may find that the more Classic 3-reel Slots have slightly fewer perks but that they also often offer the best payout rates.
Though if you're looking for the biggest payouts then you'll want to take a good look at the Progressive Jackpots.
These casino games carry MASSIVE lottery-sized jackpot payouts which can go way up into the millions!
This works because every time someone plays, and doesn't win big, the progressive jackpot pot grows.
When a player wins the big prize jackpot, the game resets to the minimum amount and the whole process starts again.
The second most popular online casino game in the USA is Poker.
This classic game of tactical skill, mixed with a little bit of good luck is popular across the globe.
Though part of Poker's popularity in the USA 'might' be down to the fact that the law allows Poker to be played legally in more places, it is also a total classic of a casino game with masses of room for excitement, fun and you can make some very tasty real money wins too!
The third most popular online casino game in the USA is another total classic, Blackj ack.
In Blackjack, to achieve optimal results, you'll need to learn a least a bit of the basic strategy.
This is partly due to the fact that every variant of blackjack has its own recommended basic strategy.
With minimal effort though, you too can thoroughly enjoy playing this fantastic staple of the casino world.
There are of course many other kinds of online casino game to play, we only highlighted the three which have been most popular throughout 2017 and who knows what games will take the top three slots in 2018.
With fantastic and thrilling games like Baccarat, Craps, Roulette, Keno and many, many more to choose between, the results will be largely down to your choice!
Don't worry about wanting to cut to the chase, all of the wisest casino players learn fast to take advantage of the wonder filled and abundant 'Sign-up' or 'Welcome Bonuses' which online casinos have on offer.
There are many other verities of bonus to choose from too.
All of the online casinos which we've listed above offer you a tasty real money bonus treat of one kind or another when you sign up with them but there's more too!
Also known as the Sign-up Bonus or Deposit Bonus, this is basically free promotional money, which online casinos offers to new players who sign up at their casino site.
This creates a tasty incentive for them to try out their casino before anyone else's.
Cash Match Deposit Bonuses, which can range massively in value, are given to players as a percentage on top of their first deposit, or, in many cases on top of the first three or four deposits they make.
To get the best bang for your buck, you want to keep an eye out for online casino's offering a nice big juicy Cash Match Deposit Bonus (or bonuses), as well as low wagering requirements.
If you can use your bonus on a good choice of great games too, then you're on to a real winner!
These Bonuses are very sought after and much rarer.
Well, for the simple reason that a No Deposit Bonus, does what the name suggests, and you can get hold of a nice little Bonus, just for signing up!
On occasion, you may get one for following some other given instruction.
Either way, it's a Bonus that you get, without actually having to deposit any of your own cash.
These generally tend to be a little more on the humble side, commonly ranging between $5 and $50.
Some casinos will offer more though, sometimes even substantially more, if you're prepared to search for them.
The job of a Reload Bonus is quite a simple one.
This Bonus rewards casinos most loyal players, to them these are the ones who continue to play and make deposits with them.
Instead of making an initial deposit, the player gets gifted with a Reload of cash into their account.
The Game-Specific Bonus, as the name implies, is only connected to or get-able by playing a particular set game or variety of game.
It could be restricted to Video Slots, Table Games, Video Poker or possibly some other game.
In an ideal world, the Game-Specific Bonus everyone wants to get their hands on, has low wagering requirements and is attached to a specific game which they/you actually like.
As we've already mentioned, US based online casino players are legally allowed to gamble within the Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania State boundaries.
There are three bodies that licence and oversee online gambling in those jurisdictions.
Covering New Jersey and Delaware is the New Jersey Casino Control Commission.
In 2017 the Commission's online gambling division was established to license sites and enable those living within the New Jersey and Delaware States to legally place online bets.
Meanwhile, over in Nevada a similar organisation, the Nevada Gaming Commission, also facilitates licensing for various online gaming websites.
Over in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board provides a similar service in the East of the country.
It is important to remember that whilst these organisations could be viewed as providing hurdles for the top online USA casinos and gamers alike, they also maintain well-regulated and fair industry practices, with the protection of players at their heart.
Their success, at developing the online casino USA market, also paves the way for those States taking steps to introduce online gambling in their jurisdictions and those who offer the best practice experience to draw from as the industry continues to spread and develop.
As we enter 2018 only four states in the USA allow online casinos for US players.
Previously interstate betting on sports was outlawed under the Federal Wire Act of 1961, however it failed to address other types of gambling and led to numerous court cases.
This ambiguity was carried forward by the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) which, although not specifically banning online gambling, did criminalise financial transactions arising from online gambling services.
This resulted in a number of offshore gambling sites shutting down access to US customers.
However, a number of reputable sites continue to be open for legitimate business and ensure that they have online casinos that accept US players playing from either Nevada, Delaware, New Jersey or Pennsylvania.
At present the only threat to online casinos for USA players is the possible Restoration of America's 'Wire Bill' which has been floating around in congress since 2015.
Drafted with the intention of bringing the 1961 Act up to date, the Bill would not target individual players but the online casinos themselves and could effectively halt online gambling in the USA.
However, despite a number of attempts since 2015 to get the Bill passed, Congress has so far seen fit to reject this attempt to assert federal control over those states who have decided to allow online casinos.
''We should all pay attention to the future, as this is where we will spend the rest of our lives'' and how we spend those moments is changing too.
As well as the traditional methods for placing bets or receiving winnings, Cryptocurrency gambling is becoming more common across some of the best online USA casinos these days.
Whether it is the well-established Bitcoin, or, one of its daughters such as Ether, Lite or FunCoins, cryptocurrencies are becoming ubiquitous and the demand for their acceptance is shaping the options offered by online casinos for US players.
Other promising news comes in the form of additional states in the USA looking to allow access to online casinos.
New York has been moving in this direction since 2013 and seems set to review its online poker bill in 2018, and marks a concerted effort by more States to legalise online gambling.
In 2017 New Hampshire legislated to allow participation in online lotteries, whilst Michigan and Illinois have also been moving closer to opening doors to new online casinos for the USA.
All in all, we hope that we have highlighted the fact that playing online casino USA can still be a rich and rewarding past time, even with the USA's sometimes tricky regulations.
Yes, there are things to be aware of and rules to follow, but if you take those things into account then you too can enjoy this wonder filled past time and maybe even rake in some of those tasty real money wins!
Head over to one of our listed, safe, and highly exciting online casinos today, sign-up, and, as long as you do things properly, you could be rolling in bonuses in no time!

NASA cloud storefront to offer scientists range of services
By Rutrell Yasin
NASA is working on a cloud "storefront" that will give the agency's scientists and engineers access to the computing resources and services they require regardless of their IT environment.
NASA Goddard's computing environment ranges from desktops to high-performance computers, and the challenge for NASA officials is how to fit cloud computing into this range of environments, according to Adrian Gardner, CIO of NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center.

Federal CIO says FedRAMP to be mandatory
NIST goes public with cloud computing tech road map
Desktop computers, mobile devices, virtualized data centers and high-end supercomputers all have a range of attributes that drive how users make decisions about their compute requirements.
"One of things we started to talk about [at NASA] was a notion of an integrated management interface with cloud services and compute services, in general; in other words a storefront," Gardner said.
The storefront will help NASA users to make decisions about how they gain access to computing resources, Gardner said during remarks at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cloud Computing Forum & Workshop in Gaithersburg, Md., Nov. 2.
NASA will now work on defining the attributes associated with each compute environment. For example, an attribute could be security or storage requirements.
An application with a high-end computer data set might not necessarily be suited for the cloud. Instead, that type of application might be suited for a virtualized data center or a hard metal data center, Gardner noted.
"We are working now with scientists and engineers to identify those" attributes, Gardner said.
The storefront concept takes NASA beyond the Nebula and OpenStack cloud initiatives, Gardner said.
Developed at that NASA Ames Research Center, Nebula is an open-source cloud computing platform, housed in a container at Ames, which provides on-demand, high-capacity computing, storage and network connectivity for NASA researchers. Nebula also allows NASA scientists to share large, complex data sets with external partners and the public.
OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing project by RackSpace and NASA that lets cloud adopters host their own scalable clouds and storage grids. More than 120 companies have joined the project.
NASA is looking at providing a wider range of cloud services through the storefront. As a result, Amazon, Microsoft and VMware will have to be involved in the discussions.
Gardner gave a sketch of how the storefront would work. NASA researchers would go into the storefront, lay out their high-level requirements such as security, type of data and jobs they're going to run and how much storage is needed. There will then be some intelligence driving their options. After refining and validation of their requirements, they can decide to use a particular cloud service provider. There would also be a cloud broker between the user and cloud service provider that will help parse out where users need to go to get cloud services.
"I hope this will provide maximize flexibility for the user and return on that investment," Gardner said.
There are challenges. For one, NASA wants to avoid vendor lock-in. Gardner noted that he is trying to maintain flexibility, which is tough to do in this type of environment. "You have to think about the kinds of choices you make entering into an engagement with cloud providers and the consequences."
Still, NASA officials hope to tap the best of industry and government. Gardner recognized that many cloud service providers have invested in helping government solve some of its challenges. "What we want to do now is cherry-pick and think of those things that set you apart as a service provider in this space."
The focus now is on niche management. NASA wants to hear what these vendors do well instead of hear vendors can do everything right. Gardner said he wants to know their "secret sauce." That is the type of discussion going on now with cloud providers in the private sector and in government as well.
The cloud initiative is not about technology, Gardner said. Instead, it is about making sure that scientist and engineers have the computing resources they need to accomplish the mission of NASA and the U.S. government.

Event Sampling pursues the same goals as conventional sampling on principle but integrates an eminently original dimension in its implementation.
Urban Act has often imagined surprising Event Sampling operations by emancipating itself from the codes of the conventional sampling and by playing with the street and its furniture to come to surprise the public and to associate them to the operation by making them participate actively.
- Mapping of the field of action: typology of places of distribution of samples, definition of the installation process, fulfillment timing.
Sampling allows to generate public interest and a resonance offer that stimulates both purchasing act and word-of-mouth.
The event dimension of sampling enhances the appeal for the audience and naturally develops the memory trace in the public's mind while creating content for social networks.

How Long Does Orange Juice Last?
Leave a Comment / Food / By Juicing Nation
For most of us, the discoloration of homemade fruit juices can seem strange. What we, however, need to bear in mind is that packaged and store-bought juices have added factors that prevent the color change and equally maintain the flavor.
If you wish to get the same outcome when making fresh orange juice at home, there are some simple tips you can use. How long does orange juice last? This question is dependent on the technique you use though it won't last as long as the boxed variety.
Using Cold Oranges To Juice
The heating of enzymes causes the browning of your orange juice. When the temperature is low, the enzyme activity drastically reduces, making the liquid last longer in the fridge.
Before you juice the oranges, keep them in a refrigerator slightly above freezing point. If you freeze it, you'll have to thaw it before juicing and the taste of the orange will be significantly compromised.
Tip Do not chill subtropical fruits such as bananas, strawberries, avocados and mangos because it reduces the quality.
How Long Can Orange Juice Sit Out?
Homemade Orange Juice
For homemade orange juice, it sits out for a few hours to a day. If you're taking a trip and you don't have a box cooler or a place to keep it chilled, semi-freeze the drink a day before and let it thaw as the day goes by.
When it's warm, it lasts a shorter time – if you made it in the morning, by late afternoon, you might notice discoloration or an off taste.
Store Bought Orange Juice
As long as it's unopened, store-bought orange juice can last more than a year even in your pantry. That's because of the added preservatives. You may ask how long is orange juice good for after opening it; the answer is a few days, at most a week. However, it should be sealed and refrigerated.
If you purchase your juice from the refrigerated section, then it's likely that it has little to no preservatives and should be consumed a few days after opening.
Note Store-bought products come with a 'best by' date and instructions on how to store after opening. It also gives you the number of days it stays good for.
How To Make Your Juice Last Long
Eliminate pulp: Leaving pump in the freshly squeezed homemade juice could be another reason why it does not last long. Straining out the pulp means that the enzymes in the juice won't have anything to react with.
Water: Diluting the juice will also prove beneficial. Though most of us prefer making juice with little to no water, adding water will slow down the enzymatic reaction that brings about the brown color.
Vacuum sealing: Oxygen is what causes the discoloration of fruits and their juices. Using a vacuum sealer will keep your juice fresher for longer.
Natural preservatives: If you want it to last even longer, consider adding natural preservatives. These include honey, or ascorbic acid, malic acid, or citric acid. To retain the flavor for longer, consider adding fresh juice from a different batch or an essential oil like alpha-tocopherol, a Vitamin E.
How Long Does Homemade Juice Last In Fridge?
Freshly squeezed juice will last in the fridge for two to three days. How long does fresh orange juice last altogether? If you want it for much longer, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it.
Once solid, put them in a zip lock bag and leave it in the freezer. That way, it'll last for up to four months. It works if oranges go out of season and you still want to enjoy some during this period. You can also use them to flavor your water or other beverages.
How long does orange juice last? Well, the answer to this question depends on your juicing technique and how you store the fresh juice after. Once the liquid interacts with air, it goes bad pretty fast, but there are measures to keep it longer.
Your best shot at enjoying the juice for longer is by adding preservatives and refrigeration. Most of all, your eyes, taste buds and sense of smell are ultimately the best tools to know if your juice has gone bad.

4 Steps to Start an Emergency Fund From Zero
If you're building an emergency fund from scratch, start with these four steps.
It's a fact of life: Unexpected emergencies happen. To everyone. It could be a blown transmission on the car, or even worse, the loss of a job. How prepared you are for one of these situations can make all the difference in a stressful time. But 45 percent of Americans say they do not have enough savings to cover at least three months of living expenses, according to a report by the Center for Financial Services Innovation. By taking steps to start an emergency fund you're giving yourself the security of knowing you can cover unexpected expenses should the need arise.
45 percent of Americans say they do not have enough savings to cover at least three months of living expenses.
– Center for Financial Services Innovation report
How to start an emergency fund
Before taking steps to start an emergency fund (also known as a rainy day fund), you may need to level set on how, and when, this account will be used. Think of your emergency fund as money that's set aside in a separate account to be used for emergencies. Managing this account requires discipline—it needs to be used for true emergencies (not included here: an upgrade to a new set of golf clubs).
It may take time to build an emergency fund, but there's no need for the process to feel stressful or overwhelming. It's all about having a plan, and these four steps to start an emergency fund can help guide you:
1. Start with baby steps
"Every financial expert sets some number as a benchmark for emergency funds—anywhere from three to six to 12 months of expenses," says Kerri Moriarty, head of company development for Cinch Financial, a Boston-based startup building financial software. "For most people that's just downright aspirational," especially, she adds, when paying student loans, a credit card balance and rent or a mortgage.
Saving six months or more worth of expenses can feel daunting. That's why it's so important when figuring out how to start an emergency fund to begin with small goals and gradually work up to your long-term objective.
"Reduce your frustration and risk of de-motivation by setting milestone goals to work toward," Moriarty says. "For example, building up $500 in emergency funds, then $1,000, then $2,500 and so on until you watch yourself tracking to one month or three months or six months covered."
2. Choose a place to keep your emergency fund
When you start an emergency fund the purpose is to have quick, easy access to your cash. To accomplish this, consider keeping at least the first three months' worth of expenses in a high interest savings account so that you can access it at any time. After that, you could put any additional funds into low risk, high liquidity vehicles like a money market account or a certificate of deposit (CD). When considering how to start an emergency fund, think twice before investing in securities, since it will likely take days to unwind any positions to receive the money.
"Not only should you keep emergency funds in a separate account from your regular checking and savings, but it's even better to keep them at a different bank entirely," Moriarty says. "Keeping them at a separate bank reduces the temptation to draw from them when you're checking the balance of your other accounts. Out of sight, out of mind—until you really need them."
"Reduce your frustration and risk of de-motivation by setting milestone goals to work toward."
– Kerri Moriarty, head of company development for Cinch Financial
3. Make contributions automatic
Similar to a retirement fund, it's important to pay into your emergency fund first. When you start an emergency fund, set aside a certain percentage of your take-home pay each month and put it straight into your account. You can set up either an automatic deposit on payday or a separate direct deposit with your employer as part of the steps to start an emergency fund.
But don't stop there. Once you've started an emergency fund, find other creative ways to build your account even faster.
"When you start an emergency fund it can be challenging, but every few dollars helps," says Brooke Petersen, investment consultant at Conrad Siegel, an investment advisory firm in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. "Fund it with pay from extra working hours, a tax refund or part of a raise. Alternatively, bring your lunch to work a few days a week, or brew your morning cup of coffee at home."
4. Continue building when needed
Finally, it's important to remember that just because you might have reached your long-term goal to start an emergency fund, you shouldn't stop there. Your circumstances could change through marriage or the birth of a child, for example, and your monthly expenses might increase as a result. When that happens you need to account for it. The six months' worth of expenses you originally saved may no longer cover you.
Additionally, if you need to tap into this account at any point, then you will need to begin the process to replenish the amount you took out.
An emergency fund can save you financially
When you start an emergency fund think of it as a type of insurance policy for you and your family. You have health insurance in case you get sick, car insurance so that you're covered in an accident and an emergency fund if something unplanned or unexpected happens.
"The primary investment objective for your emergency reserves is safety, not return," Petersen says.
By learning how to start an emergency fund now you can avoid serious financial problems later. Take the steps to start an emergency fund one by one, and you'll have peace of mind before you know it.
