At enLight we are promoting the message that streetlights have so much more to offer to cities, towns or villages. Today, streetlights are viewed purely as a cost - a budget that has to be allocated to keep the lights powered during the night (or at least most of the time - see my previous post here) and to cover the ongoing maintenance costs for lights that have broken or been damaged. This budget is not insignificant and with continuing budget squeezes at local government level, many are looking to upgrade their lights to save money - a capital investment today that will reap benefits in lower operating costs in years to come.
What is not necessarily happening is recognising that our streetlight infrastructure is an incredible asset to be utilised. If I was to say to you that I wanted to build out a wireless mesh network across a town and that it would require mains power cables to be buried in the ground and 5-10m antenna erected at 30m intervals along every road and footpath, I would be laughed out of the budget review. But that is exactly what every town, village or city already has and we should be making the most of it.
One of the challenges with these upgrade programs is that the costs of deployment - installation and testing - are considerable, with men or women in vans ripping out old lanterns and putting in new ones. However, although some authorities are looking at connecting the lights together for control and management, it is rare that they are looking to use the lights as a connectivity capability for other devices and this is a poor use of public funds. Of course, I would say that as I have a vested interest but we are not the only people promoting the use of streetlights as an Internet of Things (IoT) backbone and I would like to see all public tenders for lighting upgrades to mandate that the new equipment MUST create a network for future use cases. After all, if we are spending hundreds of millions of pounds/dollars on new lanterns and an additional circa 30% on top for deployment, shouldn't we be insisting that such a large investment be capable of adding more value?
One way we may be able to change the perception of streetlights from that of a burden to councils and municipalities, to a strategic asset, is to do just that - make it a strategic asset. Take it out of the highways group where it currently resides and move it into a group that has an umbrella view of the authorities service obligations, where it can be utilised; by the environmental department to monitor and ultimately, reduce air pollution, by the traffic department to reduce congestion, by social services to protect the elderly or persons at risk and by the highways team to monitor road conditions and gulley/drain health.
By treating our streetlight infrastructure as the valuable asset that it is, we can significantly reduce the cost of a whole host of government funded services and turn a public liability into an asset of future possibilities.

This farm was near the Spencers' home village of Cookham. During the late 1930s Stanley Spencer painted many local landscapes, and these were his most popular pictures. He complained privately that these landscapes stopped him doing his more imaginative paintings, but it is not difficult to see in them a considerable affection for both the place and the agricultural life. This painting was bought by the Tate Gallery in the year it was finished.
Purchased from the artist through Arthur Tooth & Sons (Clarke Fund) 1938.
Repr: Picture Post, 8 April 1939, n.p. (in colour); Rothenstein, 1945, pl.69.
Cookham Dene (or Dean) is a small hamlet lying west of Cookham village.


Caroline County middle schoolers recently attended the second annual Ag and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) Summit at Salisbury University (SU), held as a part of the Maryland STEM Festival. The purpose of the event is to demonstrate the connection between agriculture and STEM through demos, exhibits, and panel discussions. The event included a welcome from SU's president Charles A. Wight, discussion panels with SU professors, table exhibits with representatives from UMES, USDA, MDA, Morgan State, Stevenson, Grain Growers, MAEF, and the UM School of Agriculture, and the unveiling of a new Ag & STEM video game. Forty-three students from Colonel Richardson and Lockerman Middle Schools participated in the summit.

PREPARING FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION.
CLASSICORUM,
A SERIES OF CLASSICAL AUTHORS.
EDITED BY MEMBERS OF BOTH UNIVERSITIES, UNDER THE DIRECTION
THE REV. ARTHUR HOLMES, M.A., Fellow and Lecturer of Clare College, Cambridge, Classical Lecturer of St. John's College,
and of Emmanuel.
THE REV. CHARLES BIGG, M.A.,
Senior Student and Late Tutor of Christ Church, Oxford, Second Classical
Master of Cheltenham College.
The Editors of this Series design to issue texts of all the authors which are commonly read, and to illustrate them with an English Commentary, which they will endeavour to render compendious as well as clear. Standard Books of Classical Reference being now accessible to every Scholar, it has become needless to insert in notes the mass of extraneous matter which for older editions was indispensable. On many subjects collateral to the text the Editors of the present series will be able to substitute reference for quotation, and will thus obtain greater scope for carefully discussing points of scholarship closely connected with the text itself. The Series is intended to be available not only for Classical Students at the Universities, but also for the highest Forms of Public Schools.

Massachusetts holds long term pole camera surveillance of one's home can violate REP and state constitution
Posted on August 6, 2020 by Hall
Long term surveillance of defendant's homes with pole cameras wasn't a Fourth Amendment violation but it could violate the Massachusetts Constitution. Two defendants show a reasonable expectation of privacy under a "mosaic theory" which has been recognized in Massachusetts. Remanded for further consideration. Commonwealth v. Mora, 2020 Mass. LEXIS 471 (Aug. 6, 2020):
Most courts to have addressed pole camera surveillance have concluded that it does not infringe on any reasonable expectation of privacy. The recent decision in United States v. Moore-Bush, 963 F.3d 29 (1st Cir. 2020), typifies these courts' approach. There, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit determined that pole camera surveillance is not a search because it falls under the "public view" principle that an individual does not have an expectation of privacy in items or places he exposes to the public. See id. at 32. See id. at 42, quoting California v. Ciraolo, 476 U.S. 207, 213, 106 S. Ct. 1809, 90 L. Ed. 2d 210 (1986) ("[a]ny home located on a busy public street is subject to the unrelenting gaze of passersby, yet '[t]he Fourth Amendment protection of the home has never been extended to require law enforcement officers to shield their eyes when passing by a home on public thoroughfares'"). See also United States v. Bucci, 582 F.3d 108, 116-117 (1st Cir. 2009); United States v. Jackson, 213 F.3d 1269, 1280-1281 (10th Cir.), judgment vacated on other grounds, 531 U.S. 1033, 121 S. Ct. 621, 148 L. Ed. 2d 531 (2000); United States vs. Aguilera, U.S. Dist. Ct., No. 06-CR-336 (E.D. Wis. Feb. 11, 2008).
Following the United States Supreme Court's decisions in United States v. Jones, 565 U.S. 400, 404, 132 S. Ct. 945, 181 L. Ed. 2d 911 (2012), and Carpenter v. United States, 138 S. Ct. 2206, 2217, 201 L. Ed. 2d 507 (2018), which discussed how extended GPS vehicle tracking and CSLI surveillance can intrude on reasonable expectations of privacy, several courts have reassessed prolonged pole camera surveillance. See, e.g. United States vs. Vargas, U.S. Dist. Ct., No. CR-13-6025, slip op. at 27 (E.D. Wash. Dec. 15, 2014) (six weeks of pole camera surveillance was search); State v. Jones, 2017 SD 59, ¶ 43, 903 N.W.2d 101 (two months of pole camera surveillance was search); People v. Tafoya, 2019COA176 ¶ 51 (three months of pole camera surveillance constituted search). The defendants urge us to follow in the footsteps of these courts, and to apply the "mosaic theory," which we adopted in Commonwealth v. McCarthy, 484 Mass. 493, 504-505, 142 N.E.3d 1090 (2020), to conclude that the extended and targeted pole camera surveillance of the defendants violated their reasonable expectations of privacy. Neither we, nor the United States Supreme Court, have considered the constitutional implications of the long-term and targeted video surveillance at issue in this case. Because the status of pole camera surveillance "remains an open question as a matter of Fourth Amendment jurisprudence," we will not "wade into these Fourth Amendment waters." See Almonor, 482 Mass. at 42 n.9. "Instead we decide the issue based on our State Constitution, bearing in mind that art. 14 … does, or may, afford more substantive protection to individuals than that which prevails under the Constitution of the United States" (quotations and citation omitted). Id.
To show that the use of pole cameras in this case was a "search" under art. 14, the defendants bear the burden of establishing that (1) they "manifested a subjective expectation of privacy in the object of the search," and (2) "society is willing to recognize that expectation as reasonable." Augustine, 467 Mass. at 242, quoting Commonwealth v. Montanez, 410 Mass. 290, 301, 571 N.E.2d 1372 (1991).
i. Subjective expectation of privacy. For the reasons to be discussed, we conclude that Mora and Suarez have established that they manifested a subjective expectation of privacy in the aggregate of their activities captured by the security cameras. Guerrero, however, has not.
Both Mora and Suarez, however, filed affidavits in which they stated that they did not expect to be surveilled coming and going from their homes over an extended period. Cf. Augustine, 467 Mass. at 255 n.38 ("In support of his motion to suppress, the defendant submitted an affidavit stating that he acquired his cellular telephone for his own personal use, never permitting the police or other law enforcement officials access to his telephone records"). Considering the two months and five months for which Suarez and Mora's residences, respectively, were the targets of video surveillance, these affidavits are sufficient.
We reject the Commonwealth's contention that the absence of fencing or other efforts to shield Mora's and Suarez's residences from view shows that they lacked any subjective expectation of privacy in those areas. The traditional barriers to long term surveillance of spaces visible to the public have not been walls or hedges — they have been time and police resources. See Jones, 565 U.S. at 429 (Alito, J. concurring). While people subjectively may lack an expectation of privacy in some discrete actions they undertake in unshielded areas around their homes, they do not expect that every such action will be observed and perfectly preserved for the future. See, e.g., United States v. Anderson-Bagshaw, 509 Fed. Appx. 396, 405 (6th Cir. 2012) ("Few people, it seems, would expect that the government can constantly film their backyard for over three weeks using a secret camera that can pan and zoom and stream a live image to government agents").
Moreover, requiring defendants to erect physical barriers around their residences before invoking the protections of the Fourth Amendment and art. 14 would make those protections too dependent on the defendants' resources. In Commonwealth v. Leslie, 477 Mass. 48, 54, 76 N.E.3d 978 (2017), we noted that affording different levels of protection to different kinds of residences "is troubling because it would apportion Fourth Amendment protections on grounds that correlate with income, race, and ethnicity" (quotation and citation omitted). Similarly, the capacity to build privacy fences and other similar structures likely would correlate closely with land ownership and wealth.
A resource-dependent approach thus would be contrary to the history and spirit of art. 14. As Eighteenth Century British Prime Minister William Pitt said when opposing warrantless searches,
"The poorest man may, in his cottage, bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England may not enter; all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement."
Donohue, The Original Fourth Amendment, 83 U. Chi. L. Rev. 1181, 1238 (2016) (Donohue).
We will not undermine these long-held egalitarian principles by making the protections of art. 14 contingent upon an individual's ability to afford to install fortifications and a moat around his or her castle.9Link to the text of the note
ii. Reasonable expectation of privacy. Whether Mora and Suarez's expectation of privacy is one that society would regard as "'reasonable,' 'justifiable,' or 'legitimate'" is a more difficult question (citation omitted). See Commonwealth v. One 1985 Ford Thunderbird Auto., 416 Mass. 603, 607, 624 N.E.2d 547 (1993). "The inquiry is one highly dependent on the particular facts and circumstances of the case." Id. Among the factors this court has considered are "whether the public had access to, or might be expected to be in, the area from which the surveillance was undertaken; the character of the area (or object) that was the subject of the surveillance; and whether the defendant has taken normal precautions to protect his or her privacy." Almonor, 482 Mass. at 42 n.10.
In Commonwealth v. Rousseau, 465 Mass. 372, 382, 990 N.E.2d 543 (2013), this court considered whether "contemporaneous electronic monitoring of one's comings and goings in public places invades one's reasonable expectation of privacy." For the first time, we recognized that "under art. 14, a person may reasonably expect not to be subjected to extended GPS electronic surveillance by the government, targeted at his [or her] movements, without judicial oversight and a showing of probable cause." Id.
Recently, we adapted the reasonable expectation of privacy analysis of Rousseau to automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras by adopting the "mosaic theory." McCarthy, 484 Mass. at 503-504. As we explained, "[a] detailed account of a person's movements, drawn from electronic surveillance, encroaches upon a person's reasonable expectation of privacy because the whole reveals far more than the sum of the parts." Id. at 504. Extended surveillance "reveals types of information not revealed by short-term surveillance, such as what a person does repeatedly, what he does not do, and what he does ensemble" (citation omitted). Id. We ultimately held, on the limited record before us, that the "four cameras at fixed locations on the ends of two bridges" did not reveal this kind of constitutionally-sensitive information, and, thus, the automatic ALPR surveillance employed in McCarthy did not rise to the level of a search. Id. at 509.
In this case, as in McCarthy, we are considering the import of a relatively small number of cameras, here, five. Only two of these cameras were targeted at Mora's and Suarez's residences. The defendants nonetheless argue that all footage from any of the five cameras that captures their comings and goings must be suppressed under the mosaic theory. We do not agree. Rather, we conclude that the cameras installed to surveil the defendants' homes were of greater constitutional significance than those, as in McCarthy, that were directed at a public highway.

"A system of law that not only makes certain conduct criminal, but also lays down rules for the conduct of the authorities, often becomes complex in its application to individual cases, and will from time to time produce imperfect results, especially if one's attention is confined to the particular case at bar. Some criminals do go free because of the necessity of keeping government and its servants in their place. That is one of the costs of having and enforcing a Bill of Rights. This country is built on the assumption that the cost is worth paying, and that in the long run we are all both freer and safer if the Constitution is strictly enforced."

"It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have frequently been forged in controversies involving not very nice people. And so, while we are concerned here with a shabby defrauder, we must deal with his case in the context of what are really the great themes expressed by the Fourth Amendment."

"A search is a search, even if it happens to disclose nothing but the bottom of a turntable."
—Arizona v. Hicks, 480 U.S. 321, 325 (1987)
"For the Fourth Amendment protects people, not places. What a person knowingly exposes to the public, even in his own home or office, is not a subject of Fourth Amendment protection. ...

—Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 351 (1967)
"Experience should teach us to be most on guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent.

"The point of the Fourth Amendment, which often is not grasped by zealous officers, is not that it denies law enforcement the support of the usual inferences which reasonable men draw from evidence. Its protection consists in requiring that those inferences be drawn by a neutral and detached magistrate instead of being judged by the officer engaged in the often competitive enterprise of ferreting out crime."

Can The Submarine Force Museum Provide Me With An Appraisal Of The Financial Value Of My Submarine-related Artifact Or Archival Material?
The Submarine Force Library and Museum is unable to provide appraisals of the monetary value of manuscripts offered as gifts, brought in for identification, or submitted for any other purpose. Material given to archives and libraries may have tax benefits for the donor. In an effort to foster goodwill with donors and acquire important collections, libraries and archives may be tempted or feel pressured by the donor to provide an artificially inflated appraisal. The Internal Revenue Service, therefore, regards archives and libraries as interested parties, and appraisals prepared by them for gifts that they receive are subject to question. Consequently, the Association of College and Research Libraries recommends that "to protect both its donors and itself, the library, as an interested party, ordinarily should not appraise gifts made to it." Most libraries and archives now follow this policy on appraisals.

Johnson & Johnson opened its first international JLABS facility, an incubator hub, in Toronto, adding to its existing network of five centers in the U.S. A total of 22 companies will be housed at the new site, with capacity for up to 50 companies.
JLABS is part of J&J Innovation LLC, which aims to boost fosters collaboration between entrepreneurs and J&J's global healthcare business.
The new 40,000-square-foot facility is a collaboration between J&J Innovation LLC, the government of Ontario, and several Toronto-based hospital partners.
The goal of JLABS is to remove the barriers which commonly confront start-ups as they work to move new products into clinical testing.
Incubator companies benefit from the JLABS lab space and access to capital funding experts who are available to support start-up efforts. At the same time, they give J&J an eye into promising early-stage research.
Johnson & Johnson also has JLABS facilities in San Diego, two in San Francisco, Boston, and Houston.
"The expansion of JLABS into Canada helps further Johnson & Johnson Innovation's mission to discover and advance the best science in the world that has the most potential to help patients and consumers," said Paul Stoffels, chief scientific officer at J&J.
Some of the companies already signed on include: Biotagenics, a microbiomics company developing therapies for inflammatory bowel disease; KaiGene Pharmaceuticals, working on a treatment to help Alzheimer's patients regain their memories; and Translatum Medicus, which is developing a therapy for dry age-related macular degeneration.

The Dangers of Oversleeping And What to Do About It
Naomi Lynn Published: October 12, 2018
WebSubstance/ThinkStock
Sometimes it's so nice just to sleep in a little bit, and stay all comfy under the covers. But it goes hand-in-hand with some health issues, especially when it becomes a habit.
Why Do We Oversleep?
There are a number of reasons for getting a little too much sleep. It's not a big deal if it just happens once in a while, but it becomes a problem when you regularly find yourself sleeping in later and later, and it's harder to get up in the morning.
Some people can't help their oversleeping. Medical conditions like hypersomnia (which causes extreme sleepiness through the day, and a need for what feels like constant sleep), sleep apnea, or depression will cause you to sleep more than usual.
There are those who don't suffer from those medical conditions, but find themselves sleeping in more and more. When you start sleeping in more, it becomes a vicious cycle. It's almost like your body feels like it needs more sleep and you're more tired, just because you have become used to sleeping longer. It's a tough habit to break, but it needs to be broken.
What Happens When We Oversleep?
There's tons of health risks associated with oversleeping. Studies have linked getting too much sleep with diabetes, obesity, depression, heart disease, and a handful of other health issues. A lot of these are the same health problems that have been linked to not getting enough sleep.
How Do You Break the Cycle?
If there's a medical reason to why you oversleep (like depression or sleep apnea), that's something to bring up to your doctor.
If you're oversleeping just because you've become used to sleeping in, it's a tough habit to break, but it's possible. Start by slowly cutting back on your sleep. If you've gotten used to sleeping for 10 hours, go down to nine and a half hours for a week. When that alarm goes off in the morning get up! It's really hard to do, but it's something you have to do to break the cycle.
Plan something as soon as you get up (something that will make you want to get up and do it). Even if it's something as simple as checking your Facebook, or reading a chapter out of your favorite book. Make it a reward for getting up on time.
Hopefully this can help you break the cycle of oversleeping so you don't have to worry about the health risks associated with sleeping too much.

Dissertation in Performance in Theatre and Music Drama, 2011.
This music research drama thesis explores and presents a singer's artistic research process from the first meeting with a musical score until the first steps of the performance on stage. The aim has been to define and formulate an understanding in sound as well as in words around the concept of pure voice in relation to the performance of 17th century vocal music from a 21st century singer's practice-based perspective with reference to theories of nothingness, the role of the 17th century female singer, ornamentation (over-vocalization) and the singing of the nightingale.
As a result of this study, textual reflections parallel to vocal experimentation have led to a deeper understanding of the importance of considering the concept of nothingness in relation to Italian 17th century vocal music practice, as suggested in musicology. The concept of je-ne-sais-quoi in relation to the interpretation of French 17th century vocal music, approached from the same performance methodology and perspective as has been done with the Italian vocal music, may provide a novel approach for exploring the complexity involved in the creative process of a performing artist.
This is thesis no 25 in the ArtMonitor dissertation series.
This dissertation is published in English with a Swedish summary.

Q: Javascript sum of values in table I've succesfully used this code to calculate sums in a table:
var $overall = 0;

$("tr.sum").each(function()
{

    var $qnt = $(this).find("td").eq(0);
    var $price = $(this).find("td").eq(1);

    console.log($qnt+" | "+$price);

    var sum = parseFloat($price.text()) * parseFloat($qnt.text());

    $(this).find("td").eq(2).text(sum);

    $overall+= sum;

});

$("#total").text($overall); });

I changed one line to avoid rounding errors:
var sum = parseFloat((parseFloat($price.text().replace(',', '.')) * parseFloat($qnt.text().replace(',', '.'))).toFixed(2));

It works fine. But I can't solve the problem to round the total sum to two decimal places.
 $("#total").text($overall);

I tried toFixed(2). But this results in a string and not a number.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Mike

A: after doing all calculation make it like this
$overall.toFixed(2);

Galaxy S21 And Galaxy S21 Ultra Renders And Date Leaks Are Puzzling
By JC Torres/Oct. 18, 2020 7:31 pm EST
With the iPhone 12 out of the way, almost all of 2020's main smartphone stars have pretty much taken the stage. Save for the Huawei Mate 40 series, of course, but that will be coming in a few days. That mostly means manufacturers are already looking toward the next stage in the never-ending smartphone upgrade cycle but it seems that Samsung may already be heating to oven very early with a Galaxy S21 that may come far sooner than anyone expected and in a design no one probably asked for either.
The Galaxy S21 might look like no other Galaxy S phone and one can't shake off the feeling that it almost looks like some big rival's phone, sans the notch. The renders that @OnLeaks shared of next year's Samsung flagship shows a flat screen similar to this year's Galaxy Note 20 base model but with more rounded corners. The camera bump on the back has been thankfully reduced in size and does an odd wraparound over the edge.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra isn't so lucky, based on another batch of renders. The screen's curved edges are there but so is the gigantic camera bump. That also wraps around over the edged which makes for yet another eye-catching design, not necessarily in a good way.
Samsung is definitely doing some unusual things with its designs, splitting models again between flat and curved edges, something we haven't seen since the Galaxy S8 edge in 2017. The camera design is once again unique and most likely controversial. Perhaps it is to mask what @IceUniverse claims to be a forgettable phone. And, no, the renders don't show any sign of an S Pen.
If you are a smart Samsung fans, please buy the S20 series as soon as possible, don't wait for the S21 series. Except for the processor, the S21 is not as good as the S20 overall
— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) October 17, 2020
As if the Galaxy S21 form weren't unusual enough, the report from SamMobile that suggests it will debut in January makes it even more curious. Samsung might be doing so to space out its early 2021 smartphones, just like it did with the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Z Fold 2 this year. Whether that strategy will work in its favor, especially with these leaked designs, remains to be seen.

Remembering Reverend Gomes
By Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
The first time I saw Peter Gomes, he was presiding over the memorial service for Nathan Huggins, the venerable chair of Afro-American Studies at Harvard, who had passed away, in 1989, from pancreatic cancer. Though Gomes claimed to be Baptist, he wore a red robe with a large white bow tied at his neck, vestments that seemed more High Church Anglican. As startling as that was, I was even more startled when he opened his mouth. "My dear friends, it is good to see you, even on this dark and sad occasion," he began. What took me aback was not the language but the sound. It was as if Cotton Mather had returned from the dead, and in black face at that. No wonder these Negroes at Harvard are so screwed up, I thought as I headed home to Durham following the service; this Negro thinks he's a Puritan.
I shook off the Harvard Square dust as I boarded my flight back home. Two years later, I found myself, as much to my surprise as to his, sitting in the Reverend Gomes's office, for my final interview to become Nathan Huggins's successor. Gomes—who had never been known as a "race man"—had, against his better judgment, agreed to serve as interim director of the Du Bois Institute until a new director could be found. And this interview, apparently, was the last obstacle between me and that job offer. All the night before, I worried that I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face when this Gomes fellow opened his mouth and came out with the orotund polysyllables of some brown escapee from the hold of the Mayflower. I was petrified. The interview started quite awkwardly; we both were a bit wary. Gomes mentioned some concerns about me that he'd heard voiced. I replied by quoting the TV show that was my childhood favorite: "Well, as one wise man once said, 'Yo' honor, I not only resents the allegation, I resents the alligator!' " "George 'Kingfish' Stevens," the Reverend responded, identifying the trickster character in the "Amos 'n' Andy" show. He heartily approved.
Gomes was a large, warm, and mischievous soul, who contained a multitude of identities, each worn with a certain roguish sense of irony. As a bright child growing up in Plymouth, Massachusetts, he looked forward to the town's annual reënactments of the arrival of William Bradford and the Mayflower Pilgrims. After one such school pageant, in which the young Gomes performed especially passionately as Bradford himself, his father, a Cape Verdean, did a quick reality check. "You don't actually think you are descended from these people, do you?" Mr. Gomes asked his son, a little concerned. "Of course I am, father," his son answered.
Peter told me that, as a boy, he really did harbor the belief that he was somehow the progeny of Bradford or one of his hearty companions, a genuine descendant of the Mayflower, not one of those pretenders whose research he would facilitate each summer vacation at the local library. Peter's fond hope was that one of his ancestors on his mother's side was a descendant of a slave owner and his female slave, and that this man linked him to Plymouth Rock. "We are 'freesies,' " his mother would tell him always to remember, and that made them, as Negroes, a class apart, something special. Peter could never get a handle on what this word, "freesie," might mean, though he searched extensively and inquired of the scholars at Harvard whose spiritual health he later pledged to nurture.
Years later, I did a segment of a documentary about ancestry with him. He wasn't, in fact, descended from a Pilgrim, though we found a Jewish male ancestor, perhaps an exile to Cape Verde from Spain or Portugal after the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. But his mother's family, slaves in Virginia, had the rare good fortune of being owned by a Quaker family, which freed them in 1782, exceptionally early in the history of American slavery. To avoid being returned to slavery, his ancestors were forced to carry papers at all times, attesting to their status as freed people. And "freesies" was the name that the Virginia black community of his ancestors gave to these fortunate few. In an era of sometimes confining identity politics, Gomes continued to insist on his own freedom. Cape Verdean and Jewish; Virginia and Massachusetts; gay and Baptist; slave and free; a counselor to the powerful and to the powerless: Peter Gomes smoothly navigated his own Mayflower through this sea of identities, because he anchored himself to none.
In the past twenty years, Peter, the least self-serious of men, became a spiritual guide for me, someone I turned to for advice and for company—always grateful for the suppleness of his mind, the shrewdness of his judgment, and, yes, the timbre of his voice. We could discuss anything, from Jesus the fisherman to George Stevens the Kingfish. I gave Peter the complete DVD set of "Amos 'n' Andy" for Christmas two years ago. He assured me that I had chosen well.

The 1914-built Hiei was a Japanese battlecruiser, one of the most heavily-armed vessels of its era, having eight 14-inch guns and armour up to nine inches thick. The vessel was crippled by a shell from the USS San Francisco on the 13th which disabled the steering gear.

WITH a publican grandfather and a wine maker father, Shaun Silkman was likely destined for hospitality. To his credit, Mr Silkman finished most of an economics degree before arriving at the cellar door at award-winning Pokolbin winery First Creek, of which the Silkman family is major shareholder. "I went straight from school to uni, so I dropped out, got an insight into [First Creek] and loved it," he said.

Sergei Anatoljewitsch Kurjochin (auch Sergey Kuryokhin, ; * 16. Juni 1954  in Murmansk; † 9. Juli 1996 in Sankt Petersburg) war ein russischer Pianist, Multiinstrumentalist, Bandleader und Komponist des Avantgarde Jazz. Er zählte mit seinem Bands wie Pop Mechanics zu den markantesten Vertretern der russischen und litauischen Jazzszene der 1980er und 1990er Jahre.

Leben und Wirken
Kurjochin kam 1971 nach Leningrad, wo er schon in frühen Jahren einen unabhängigen Geist und einen Nonkonformismus zeigte, der dazu führte, dass er sowohl aus dem Leningrader Konservatorium als auch aus dem Kulturinstitut flog. Während seiner Schulzeit spielte er in Rockbands, wandte sich aber unter dem Eindruck der Musik von McCoy Tyner und John Coltrane, die er im Programm von Radio Free Europe gehört hatte, dem Jazz zu. Nach seiner Aussage waren es auch die Saxophonisten Anthony Braxton, Evan Parker sowie seine russischen Kollegen Wladimir Tschekassin und Anatoli Wapirow, die ihn maßgeblich beeinflussten.

Bekannt wurde Kurjochin 1977 durch seine Mitwirkung in Wapirows Band; dann arbeitete er mit Tschekassin und war Keyboarder von Boris Grebenschtschikows Rockband Aquarium, mit welcher er zwischen 1981 und 1985 die Alben Treugolnik (Dreieck), Tabu, Radio Afrika und Deti dekabrja (Dezemberkinder) aufnahm. Später gründete er auch eine erste eigene Formation, das Crazy Music Orchestra, das ähnlich wie die Gruppe Archangelsk  von Wladimir Rezitsky, subversiv und gegen das Kultur-Establishment in der späten Sowjetunion gerichtet war. Kurjochins Arbeitsweise bei seinen Konzerten hatte den Charakter von Happenings; S. Frederick Starr beschreibt in seinem Buch zum Jazz in Russland die Theatralik der sowjetischen Free Jazz Gruppen, die – im Gegensatz zu den aggressiven, wütenden Rockbands – Shows mit subtilem Humor und einem "drolligen Surrealismus" boten; "er brauchte einen Zirkus mit allen Beigaben, lebendige Tiere. Für einen Auftritt verlangte er 18 Motorräder, eine Militärkapelle und eine Menge Sänger aus dem Mittleren Osten (...)". Er setzte auch Presslufthämmer ein; seine Aufführungen waren – erstmals in der UdSSR – Mixed-Media-Veranstaltungen. Die Bandaufnahmen wurden als Audiocassetten in den Westen geschmuggelt; Leo Feigin publizierte sie in den 1980er Jahren in London auf seinem Label Leo Records. Sein erstes Soloalbum erschien 1981 unter dem Titel The Ways of Freedom vorher noch (als einzige seiner Aufnahmen) auf Melodija in der Sowjetunion. Ab 1984 wählte er für seine Band-Projekte den Namen Pop Mechanics (russisch /Pop-mechanika), die Kultstatus im spätsowjetischen Untergrund genossen. Hauptakteure waren Walentina Ponomarjowa, Sergei Belitschenko und Sergei Panassenko. Regelmäßig traten einzelne Musiker der Rockgruppen Aquarium, Kino, AuktYon u. a. mit Pop Mechanics auf.

Im Jahr 1986 erschien sein Album Introduction to Pop Mechanics, dann Pop Mechanics No. 17; 1989 hatte er mit seiner Band einen dadaistisch anmutenden Auftritt in Liverpool, tourte danach durch die USA und spielte dort mit John Zorn und Boz Scaggs. Kurjochin wurde damals zu einem internationalen Star, der aus der – relativ abgeschlossenen – russischen Jazzszene hervorstach; er arbeitete später noch mit Alfred Schnittke und dem Kronos-Quartett.

Neben seinem Pop-Mechanics-Projekt arbeitete Kurjochin mit Wladimir Tschekassin und Boris Grebenschtschikow (Exercises, 1982) sowie dem Anatoli Wapirow Quartett (Invocations, 1983) zusammen. 1982 erschien das Solo-Album Popular Zoological Elements, gefolgt von Some Combination of Fingers and Passion 1991, einem Konzert-Mitschnitt aus London.
In seinem Pianospiel zeigte sich Kurjochin stark durch seine klassische Ausbildung geprägt und spielte ohne starke Jazzprägung. In seinem Soloalbum Some Combinations... erwies er Dave Brubeck, der in der UdSSR hohes Ansehen genoss, mit Blue Rondo a la Turk seine Reverenz.

Kurjochin räumte selbst ein, dass durch Glasnost und Perestroika und das Ende der kulturellen Unterdrückung seine enorme Vitalität, die sich aus dem Oppositionsgeist speiste, beeinträchtigt wurde.

1991 behauptete Kurjochin in der Fernsehshow "5th Wheel" Lenin wäre ein Pilz. Anhand von scheinbar wissenschaftlichen Fakten täuschte er eine Seriosität vor. Die völlig frei erfundenen Fakten sollten aufzeigen, dass in Berufung auf wissenschaftliche Autoritäten alles scheinbar bewiesen werden kann, insbesondere im Fernsehen.

Sergei Kurjochin schrieb auch die Musik zu einer Reihe von Filmen und trat in einigen als Schauspieler oder als er selbst auf.

Diskographische Hinweise
Seine in den 1980er Jahren auf Leo Records erschienenen Schallplatten wurden von Leo Feigin Ende der 1990er Jahre neu ediert. Die Neuausgabe von Kurjochins erstem Album The Ways of Freedom erschien in der Reihe The Golden Years of Jazz (GY 14) auf dem Label. Das Hauptwerk des Bandleaders und Pianisten wird nun in einer 4-CD-Box mit dem Titel Divine Madness veröffentlicht, die auch bislang unbekanntes Material aus seinem Solowerk und des Pop Mechanics-Projektes enthält. Die Edition enthält zwei längere Pianoimprovisationen, einen Titel von 1980 mit dem Creative Ensemble und das Stück Opera mit der Wladimir Tschekassin Bigband; ferner Material von der Solo-LP von 1986, Popular Zoological Elements sowie das komplette Album Pop Mechanics No. 17, das Cook und Morton als das "Schlüsselwerk" Kurjochins multimedialen Theaters bezeichnen; einen Auftritt der Sängerin Walentina Ponomarjowa mit Sergei Belischenko und Sergei Panassenko. Die letzte CD enthält das Album Introduction to Pop Mechanics, das 1986 live in Leningrad aufgenommen wurde.
