Attorney-turned-celebrated-conductor Ken Lam takes the helm of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra
It's casual Friday at the Charleston Symphony Orchestra (CSO) office, and new music director (and conductor) Ken Lam wears a hoodie and shorts, checkered socks emerging from his sneakers. No intimidating, international award-winner here—just a man über excited about his job.
The Hong Kong native arrived this summer from New Jersey, where he was an associate professor and director of orchestra at Montclair State University. He still spends a night or two each week up north, serving as associate conductor of education for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and artistic director of its Youth Orchestras. He also conducts orchestras in Hong Kong a couple times a year. And during summers, he's resident conductor of the Brevard Music Center in North Carolina.
The graduate of the University of Cambridge and the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University has added all of that—and too many other accomplishments to list—to his resume in less than a decade, after having spent 10 years as an attorney with a high-powered British firm. With the CSO's first Masterworks concerts of the season slated for November 6 and 7, we caught up with him to learn more.
Childhood passion: I had wanted to be a conductor since I was probably eight—I recorded a Leonard Bernstein concert on TV and played it over and over. Like all good Hong Kong kids, I played piano and violin and sang. I wanted to go to music school, but my parents thought I should do something practical, so I studied economics at Cambridge.
Starting to conduct: In 1999, I moved to the Hong Kong office of my law firm and began playing violin for the Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra. One rehearsal, the conductor didn't show up, so I filled in. I knew nothing, but I had passion. They invited me to conduct the orchestra. I began using my annual leave to attend conducting workshops in Europe.
The next step: I thought, "Maybe I should take a year off to study conducting." I auditioned for the Peabody and was accepted.
Road to Charleston: In 2011, I conducted an opera by a Chinese composer at the Spoleto Festival. My friend, Yuriy Bekker—then the CSO's concertmaster—and I met for a beer, and he suggested I apply for this job.
CSO excitement: We've hired four fantastic new musicians in the past year to complete our roster of core musicians. The orchestra is also growing, and with the buzz about the new Gaillard and new conductor—plus the fact that Charleston is such a desirable destination—we recently had almost 400 people apply to be on our guest musician list.
Classical music: You have to develop a taste for classical music; it isn't about instant gratification. But the works that have endured are the really outstanding ones, and they have the ability to make people better. If you listen to the slow movement of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto played by a great pianist, you will be changed.
Enticing an audience: In programming, I try to bring patrons something they really enjoy—maybe the symphonies they know well—and then introduce them to something that's related but different, slowly broadening their tastes. I would never present something that hasn't touched me.
On conducting: Your instrument is the orchestra. You have to believe in the music and show the musicians what it feels like. But you don't want to micromanage. Sometimes, I have a concept of a piece of music, and the musicians give me something better; I take those ideas and run with them.
Hobbies: Tennis and golf; I look forward to playing all the great courses in Charleston.

In a market that is conditioned by fashion and personal taste of the costumer, it seems natural that there is an increasing demand for customized products and services, adjusted to the needs and tastes of consumers. However, production management based on product modeling can become a set of problems from a simple custom order, due to the large number of variables to be controlled.
The proposal of ERP GPACnx consists of not thinking about the final product, but on all its components, and on each component we try to redefine each one of its processes and subprocesses, and so on, until we can transform what seemed to us a huge problem in small problems. It is a generic attribute reference system that commands the GPACnx, the DYP (Define Your Process) Technology for Modeling Productive Processes.
GPAC is designed to manage and streamline manufacturing processes. It is an Industrial Management Software whose implementation makes possible the modeling of all possible configurations, using only an article code and process. That is, it has the ability to simplify complex processes, making them intelligible to anyone.
Based on the principle of good organization, the process should be defined by the information system, at the time of registration of the budget or order and never in production. The order of manufacture, for example, may reach the factory floor cleaned, provided only with the processes to be performed. In this way, the collaborator will not have to worry about the type of final product that his activity will produce and he will be able to keep the focus on the execution, because this information will be managed internally by the GPAC, as well as the questions of material optimization.
The optimized organization on the factory floor and the provision of accurate data to managers are guaranteed through the integration and traceability of the information at all stages of the operational or productive process. Less documentation and greater control over the process.

Gordie Howe Week - The 1970's - Out of Retirement with the Houston Aeros
With the passing of hockey legend Gordie Howe last Friday, we pay tribute to one of the greatest players in hockey history, today with our third installment of Gordie Howe Week here at Third String Goalie.
Gordie in the early 1960's with sons and future teammates Mark and Marty
The Houston Aeros of the WHA were originally slated to play in Dayton, Ohio, but never got off the ground, so owner Paul Deneau moved the club to Houston, Texas in time for the inaugural World Hockey Association season of 1972-73.
The Aeros, led in scoring by Gord Labossiere's 96 points in 78 games, had a cast of inexperienced journeymen players with an absolute minimum NHL experience, unlike other teams like the Quebec Nordiques, who could boast of long-time Montreal Canadien J. C. Tremblay or the Winnipeg Jets star Bobby Hull. Still, the Aeros finished second in the West Division and qualified for the playoffs and won a round before their season ended.
The inaugural 1972-73 Houston Aeros
Things changed, and in the biggest way possible, for the 1973-74 season. The Aeros had signed brothers Mark Howe and Marty Howe to a pair of four-year, $400,000 contracts in early June of 1973 and two weeks later, they lured the boys' father and NHL legend, the 45-year-old Gordie, who had already been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame following his retirement from the Detroit Red Wings after 25 seasons back in 1971. It's safe to say that Howe's 1,687 games of NHL experience was greater than the rest of the Aeros roster combined. His return to the ice made him the first player to ever return to action after being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
"My only regret is I'm sorry I'm not the Gordie Howe I was ten years ago to fulfill the goals the Aeros have in store for me. It's not too often an individual gets a second chance and that's what the Aeros have given me," Howe said. "A chance to play with my sons."
Gordie, Mark and Marty Howe together in Houston
Gordie had surgery to improve his arthitic bad wrist and relished the opportunity to play with his sons. The elder Howe's well-earned reputation for toughness ensured that his son's would have plenty of time and space to learn their craft professionally, as any player who laid a big hit on Mark or Marty was sure to be paid back with interest by Gordie at the first available opportunity!
Gordie immediately led the team in scoring with an even 100 points, good for third place in the league, as the Aeros had the best record in the league by 11 points. Additionally, Gordie was also named the league's Most Valuable Player in 1974, a trophy that would be renamed in his honor in 1976 - while he was still an active player! In the playoffs that season Houston swept the Jets in four and survived an all out war with the Minnesota Fighting Saints in six games to advance to the Avco Cup Finals.
Ted Taylor and Gord Gallant battle it out during the
memorable Aeros vs. Fighting Saints 1974 playoff series
Once in the finals, the Aeros swept the Chicago Cougars in four straight, giving the Aeros their first WHA title and Howe his first championship since back in 1955 with Detroit.
The WHA Champion 1973-74 Houston Aeros
Following the overwhelming success of the 1972 Summit Series between Canada's NHL professionals versus the Soviet Union, a second attempt to catch lightning in a bottle happened in 1974 when the best players of the WHA took on the Soviets.
During 1972, Howe was in retirement and did not participate, while Bobby Hull was blacklisted for having jumped from the NHL to the WHA at the time, but both featured in the 1974 edition. Also, wherever Gordie went, so did Mark and Marty, who where both also on the Team Canada roster.
Howe and Hull share some thoughts during the 1974 Summit Series
After starting out with a tie and a 4-1 win, Canada looked to be competitive with the Soviets, but the last six games saw the Soviets win 4 with a pair of ties, giving the Soviets the series 4-1-3.
The 1974 Summit Series would be Howe's only international competition of his career. He would finish fourth in tournament scoring with 3 goals and 7 points in the 8 games of the series.
The original expectation in 1973 was that Gordie, who also signed a four-year contract, would play one year and then move into the team's front office. That was not to be however, as Gordie returned for a second WHA season. While Larry Lund led the club with 108 points, Gordie duplicated his output from the season prior with 99 points while Mark contributed 76 points from the blueline after 79 the year before.
The Aeros again won the West Division with the league's best record by 14 points and dispatched the Cleveland Crusaders in five and the San Diego Mariners in four prior to sweeping the Nordiques in the finals to defend their title and become the first repeat winner in WHA history.
The back-to-back champion Aeros pose with the AVCO Cup
Howe would once again lead the Aeros in scoring in 1975-76 with 102 points, 26 clear of his son Mark and Frank Hughes, but would only place 10th in the scoring race in the now wide-open WHA. Still, the Aeros were a solid all around team and once more led the league in regular season points with 106 points. The gap was narrowed to the rest of the league however, as Winnipeg tied them with 106, coming on one less win, and the Nordiques just two back at 104.
The battle tested Aeros knocked out the Mariners in six and the New England Whalers in seven, the first time anyone went the distance with Houston, to return to the finals for the third season in a row. The high powered Jets won a pair of one goal games in Houston and pulled away to win a pair of games back at home in Winnipeg to end the Aeros reign as league champions.
Howe keeping a close eye on the action
The following season saw Gordie limited to 62 games and 68 points, yet once again the Aeros had the best regular season total for the fourth year in a row after the arrival of the Howe family. After defeating the Oilers in round one, the Jets once again ended the Aeros championship aspirations in six games in the semifinals in what would be his final game with the Aeros, as the Howe's contracts had now ended and they moved to the New England Whalers for the 1977-78 season.
The addition of the Howes to the WHA in 1973 gave the league a huge boost in credibility and exposure while allowing the legend of "Mr. Hockey" to continue to grow.
The once retired Howe spent four seasons with Houston
Today's featured jersey is a 1973-74 Houston Aeros Gordie Howe jersey. This classic jersey combines a vintage font running diagonally across the front in the time-honored manner paired with a simple striping pattern topped off with a star on each shoulder proving less is more when it comes to an effective and timeless hockey jersey.
We have seen a number of different variations for Gordie Howe Aeros jerseys, including his full name on the back with serifed letters as seen on today's featured jersey, "G. HOWE", also using the same serifed letters, and finally his full name on the back with standard, sans-serif block letters.
Research indicates that the "G. Howe" variation was from the pre-season of Howe's first year with Houston, meaning all genuine Howe Aeros game worn jerseys should have his full name on the back.
Bonus jerseys: Today's bonus jerseys are the trio of Mark, Gordie and Marty's 1973-74 Houston Aeros jerseys all pictured here together.
Extra bonus jersey: Today's extra bonus jersey is a Team Canada 1974 Summit Series Gordie Howe jersey. Oddly, the jerseys worn by the Canadians in 1974 did not have the players names on the back, and instead all read "INTERNATIONAL", unlike the 1972 Team Canada jerseys, which all had "CANADA" rather than the player names.

It is not only a Hindu issue, it is indeed an American issue. The speaking out shouldn't be just from Hindus, but Christians, Jews, Muslims, Atheists, Pagans, Wiccans, Zoroastrians and others as well. Why should anyone stand up for you, if you are not willing to do the same for others?
As people of faith, we condemn the statement made by Kentucky State Senator David Williams, "Williams charged that the actions of Beshear were tantamount to "idolatry." He stated that as a Christian, he would not participate in Jewish, Muslim or Hindu prayers, and hoped Hindus would open their eyes and "receive Jesus Christ as their personal saviour." Williams made this comment about the ground breaking ceremony of a manufacturing plant in Elizabeth Town in Kentucky that Governor Steve Beshear attended.
As a moderate Republican I am embarrassed that almost all of the bigotry in our nation is flowing out of fellow Republicans. It is time for the good Republicans to speak up and stop this flow and at least lose gracefully in 2012. If the economy turns around a little bit even a useless Democrat will win against a Republican. It is time to wake up and speak out against the bigotry of Williams and all others including the Presidential candidates.
Williams also criticized the Governor for sitting cross-legged with a "dot on his forehead," and described the ceremony as "polytheistic."
I have condemned and talked about similar pronouncements from Pat Robertson, Robert Jeffress and a few Muslims and Jewish clerics for their take on idolatry with a primitive understanding. Idols or icons are representations of God for the Hindus, just as the holy books are God's words for the Jews, Christians, Muslims and others.
No one has a right to belittle other's faiths. If Senator Williams has a problem let it be his problem and one should not malign Christianity for his bigotry. Each faith is dear to the believer and no faith is superior to the other. Faith is about humility and not arrogance. All faiths are designed to bring solace to its followers. Religion is a mechanism that gives hopes and restores one's balance with what surrounds one; people and the environment,.
Indeed, we are one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We are represented by every race, nationality, ethnicity, language, culture and religion. We see God as one, none and many and in every form; male, female, genderless and non-existent, being and non-being, nameless and with innumerable names. Americans together are committed to preserve this pluralistic heritage of America.
No one should have a problem with other's belief, but it should become our problem when someone denigrates it. We must stand up for each one of the 312 Million Americans.

Old age and death
Astrid Lindgren's legacy
ChildhoodYouthCareerOpinion-makerOld age and deathAstrid Lindgren's legacy
Astrid Lindgren's Stockholm
"June evenings in Stockholm are like nothing else in the entire world. Nowhere else does the sky shimmer with such a strange light, nowhere else is the dusk so lovely and magical and blue. And in that blue dusk the city sits on its pale waters as if it has floated up out of some old fairytale and isn't real at all." From The World's Best Karlsson
Astrid Lindgren's roots were in Småland but she spent most of her life in Stockholm. She had moved to the city in 1926, only 18 years old. And on the 22nd of September 1941 she moved, together with her family, into the flat on Dalagatan 46. It was here that she lived for more than 60 years, and where on the 28th of January 2002 she passed away.
There are many places in Stockholm that have a connection to Astrid Lindgren or to her writing. Below is a list of some of these places.
Dalagatan 46
The apartment on Dalagatan was Astrid Lindgren's home from 1941 until her death in 2002. It is the place where Astrid Lindgren became a world famous author. Today it is possible to visit the apartment by pre-booking a guided tour. It is also possible to take a virtual tour of the apartment.
Suggested reading: Dalagatan 46
Vasaparken
From Astrid Lindgren's flat on Dalagatan 46 you have a view across the Vasaparken park. Astrid often strolled there and met people in the park that ended up becoming life-long friends. They got to know each other as young mothers but continued to meet in Vasaparken even when their children had grown up. As late as the 1990s you could still spot Astrid walking arm in arm with one of these 'park ladies', as she called them.
It was also in Vasaparken that on a cold spring day in March 1944 she slipped on some ice and was confined to her bed with a sprained foot. In order to pass the time she wrote down the stories about Pippi.
After Astrid Lindgren's death the section of Vasaparken, which is directly below her home, was named 'the Astrid Lindgren terrace'.
Suggested reading: The story behind Pippi Longstocking
Karlbergsvägen
Three flights up in a building on Karlbergsvägen lives Göran. He is ill and might never be able to walk again. But, in the evenings the flying Mr Lilyvale arrives to take Göran with him on adventures across a twilight Stockholm.
Mr Lilyvale was a friendlier predecessor to Karlsson on the Roof. Her daughter Karin came up with the name. The story In the Land of Twilight is included in the collection of short stories Nils Karlsson-Pyssling and was also published as a picture book.
Suggested reading: About In the Land of Twilight
Gustav Vasa skola
One day there was a knock on the door of Gunnar's classroom at the Gustav Vasa School in Stockholm. It was Peter and Petra. They belonged to the little people and lived in a hole in the ground underneath a spruce tree in Vasaparken. The story of Peter and Petra is included in the collection of short stories Nils Karlsson-Pyssling. It is also published as a picture book.
Astrid's daughter Karin attended the same school, which can be found on Karlbergsvägen 34.
Tegnérlunden
Astrid Lindgren walked through the Tegnérlunden park every day on her way from her home on Dalagatan to her work at the publishers Rabén & Sjögren. One time she passed a little boy sitting alone on a bench as dusk fell. That's when she got the idea for the first chapter of Mio, my Son. Today there is a bronze sculpture of Astrid Lindgren in Tegnérlunden, created by the sculptor Majalisa Alexanderson.
Suggested reading: About Mio, my Son
The Atlas area
In 1929 Astrid moved, with a female friend, to Atlasgatan 9. Around the corner on Vulcanusgatan 12 lived her future husband, Sture Lindgren. After they were married in 1931 they moved in together to a new apartment in the same building that Sture had been living in.
Stockholm plays an important role in the books about Karlsson on the Roof. It is not mentioned in the book exactly where in the Vasastan neighborhood Smidge and Karlsson live ("in a very ordinary building on a very ordinary street in Stockholm"), but it has been assumed that it is somewhere in the Atlas area.
In the late 1980s Astrid went back to visit the old apartment on Vulcanusgatan. At that point it was occupied by a Mr Karlsson, who just happened to work as a roofer!
Suggested reading: About Karlsson on the Roof
Stadsbiblioteket (Stockholm Public Library)
When Astrid Lindgren moved to Stockholm she was poor and lonely. The books at the public library on Sveavägen helped her cope. However, her first visit didn't go well - she wasn't allowed to borrow any books because she hadn't yet received her library card. "If I only had books, then I was fine without people, and here standing in front of me was this blond guy telling me very sternly that I couldn't have any, no wonder I was crying! Now it probably wasn't just books that I was starved of but also food, which all in all makes crying easier", Astrid Lindgren has recounted.

Centralbadet
When Olle Hellbom was about to film Karlsson on the Roof (1974) they searched for a long while to find a good location for Karlsson's house. Finally they discovered the roof terrace of Centralbadet, an art nouveau spa in the centre of Stockholm, on Drottninggatan. Here they constructed an entire landscape of chimneys, garrets, ventilation drums and antennae. As a paying guest at Centralbadet it is possible to visit the terrace during summertime, however, there are no traces of the film anymore.
At the end of the 1940s Sweden had well and truly caught the Pippi bug. It reached its peak when tens of thousands of children and their parents descended on central Stockholm for a 'Children's Day' celebration in 1949 at the Humlegården park.. Tumultuous scenes took place as everybody crowded around the big Villa Villekulla stage that had been constructed, waited to take their turn riding Pippi's horse, all wanting to participate in the best Pippi-costume competition, or try to catch the gold coin that, according to the leaflet, would fall from the sky twice a day. There were also long queues for the little train named 'the Pippi-express' that went all around the park. The clever marketing of the event was topped by the programme itself, which had been specially commissioned by Astrid Lindgren and designed as if it was a picture book, Pippi in the park, with illustrations by Ingrid Vang Nyman. The 'story' was later re-discovered and published in 2000 as a regular picture book. Since then it has been reprinted many times over.

Kaptensgatan
Astrid Lindgren wrote three novels about the young woman Kati and her travels to America, Italy and Paris. The second book about Kati describes her journey to Italy but also her life in the flat she calls "dubbletten" (a two-roomed flat, often with no kitchen) on Kaptensgatan in Stockholm that she shares with her friend Eva. The rooms had a direct parallel in the real world: during the summer of 1927 Astrid had shared a 'dubblett' on Kaptensgatan 11 with a female friend.
Despite her love of travelling Kati is very enthusiastic about her own city:
"Stockholm in the summer. Oh how I adore it! Sitting in the sun on the steps of the Concert Hall during my lunch break, in the evening drinking a cup of coffee in Berzelii park listening to the music seeping out from the salons of Bern's, maybe see a film […], aren't those just terrific sensations all of them?"
Blockhusudden
This is the home of Mr Lilyvale from the story In the Land of Twilight. "Thereout by Blockhusudden, all tucked away from the other buildings, was a very, very small house in yellow surrounded by a lilac hedge."
In the short story Göran and Mr Lilyvale's journey in the sky above Djurgården and Stockholm is described as follows: "We flew above the oak trees in the park and high above the glistening water and high above the city, where lights in houses were beginning to come on. I never knew there was anything as beautiful as the city that now stretched beneath my feet."
Junibacken
Junibacken in Stockholm is a playful museum with children's books at the centre of its operations. Here it is possible to experience many of the characters and settings that Astrid Lindgren describes in her books, but also to encounter other characters from children's books and to watch children's theatre plays.
When Astrid Lindgren first found out about the project she thought - well that's probably a good and wise idea, but she wouldn't hear another word about making it some kind of 'Astrid Lindgren house'. However, a place where other children's authors and illustrators were supported and given the opportunity to inspire, now that was another matter. And that's what happened.
Outside Junibacken there is a statue of Astrid Lindgren made by the sculptor Hertha Hilfon.
Suggested reading: Junibacken's webpage
Norra begravningsplatsen (outside Stockholm)
Astrid Lindgren's husband Sture is buried in the 'Northern Cemetery', just north of the city centre. Whilst walking there Astrid noticed a gravestone that belonged to two brothers called Bernström, who both had died at a young age. This became one of the catalysts that inspired her to write the book about the Brothers Lionheart.
Suggested reading: About the Brothers Lionheart
Furusund (outside Stockholm)
The summerhouse 'Stenhällen' at Furusund in the Stockholm archipelago was originally purchased by Astrid's parents-in-law. For over sixty years she passed her summers there. When she was still working at Rabén & Sjögren she always took three months off in the summer. She then lived at Furusund and spent her time writing.
Astrid Lindgren thought it was very important to be familiar with the settings she wrote about. After thirty years at Furusund she finally felt ready to write about the Stockholm archipelago: this became the book, the television series and the films about the children on 'Seacrow Island' (Vi på Saltkråkan). Saltkråkan was originally the name of the Lindgren family's sailing boat, moored down by the house at Furusund. Astrid Lindgren's family still pass their summers there.
Suggested reading: About Seacrow Island
Norrtälje (outside Stockholm)
When it is announced that 'Carpenter's Cottage' is about to be sold off to a rich bigwig Melker, Johan, Niklas, Pelle and Tjorven jump in a boat and set off for Norrtälje in a last-ditch attempt to convince the lady owner of 'Carpenter's Cottage'to sell it to the Melkerson family instead. When they finally arrive in Norrtälje Melker tells Pelle and Tjorven to sit still and wait on a bench whilst the others look for the property agent Mattsson. Tjorven, however, has different plans.
"Tjorven was upset. Norrtälje was fun. She had been here several times with Mummy and Daddy and she knew how many interesting things there were to look at. And they had to sit here, stuck to a park bench and feeling hungry at the same time!"
The small-town scenes from the films 'Kalle Blomkvist - Master Detective' (1996) and 'Kalle Blomkvist and Rasmus' (1997) were shot in Norrtälje.
Suggested reading: About Kalle Blomkvist
Norröra (outside Stockholm)
It was on this island in the northern part of the Stockholm archipelago that the television series and the films about 'Seacrow Island' were recorded over the course of five years. The production team rented many of the cottages on the island to live and work in, as well as to use for locations. This is also where the house that became 'Carpenter's Cottage' was situated. The building still exists and is owned by the same family as then. During the summer there are usually guided tours around the film locations.

title: System
type: core
layout: docs
parent_section: core
order: 4
source_code: src/core/systems.js
examples: []
---

[ecs]: ../introduction/entity-component-system.md

A system, of the [entity-component-system pattern][ecs], provides global scope,
services, and management to classes of components. It provides public APIs
(methods and properties) for classes of components. A system can be accessed
through the scene element, and can help components interface with the global
scene.

[camera]: ../components/camera.md

For example, the camera system manages all entities with the [camera
component][camera], controlling which camera is the active camera.

<!--toc-->

## Registering a System

[components]: ./component.md

A system is registered similarly to a [component][components].

If the system name matches a component name, then the component will have a
reference to the system as `this.system`:

```js
AFRAME.registerSystem('my-component', {
  schema: {},  // System schema. Parses into `this.data`.

  init: function () {
    // Called on scene initialization.
  },

  // Other handlers and methods.
});

AFRAME.registerComponent('my-component', {
  init: function () {
    console.log(this.system);
  }
});
```

## Properties

[schema]: ./component.md#schema

| Property | Description                                                        |
| -------- | -------------                                                      |
| data     | Data provided by the schema available across handlers and methods. |
| el       | Reference to `<a-scene>`.                                          |
| schema   | Behaves the same as [component schemas][schema]. Parses to `data`. |

## Methods

A system, like a component, defines lifecycle handlers. It can also define
methods intended to be public API.

| Method   | Description                                                              |
| -------- | -------------                                                            |
| init     | Called once when the system is initialized. Used to initialize.          |
| pause    | Called when the scene pauses. Used to stop dynamic behavior.             |
| play     | Called when the scene starts or resumes. Used to start dynamic behavior. |
| tick     | If defined, will be called on every tick of the scene's render loop.     |

## Accessing a System

An instantiated system can be accessed through the scene:

```js
document.querySelector('a-scene').systems[systemName];
```

Registered system prototypes can be accessed through `AFRAME.systems`.

## Patterns

### Separation of Logic and Data

Systems can help separate logic and behavior from data if desired. We let
systems handle the heavy lifting, and components only worry about managing its
data through its lifecycle methods:

```js
AFRAME.registerSystem('my-component', {
  createComplexObject: function (data) {
    // Do calculations and stuff with data.
    return new ComplexObject(data);
  }
});

AFRAME.registerComponent('my-component', {
  init: function () {
    this.myObject = null;
  },

  update: function () {
    // Do stuff with `this.data`.
    this.myObject = this.system.createComplexObject(this.data);
  }
});
```

### Gathering All Components of a System

There is no strict API for defining how systems manage components. A common
pattern is to have components subscribe themselves to the system. The system
then has references to all of its components:

```js
AFRAME.registerSystem('my-component', {
  init: function () {
    this.entities = [];
  },

  registerMe: function (el) {
    this.entities.push(el);
  },

  unregisterMe: function (el) {
    var index = this.entities.indexOf(el);
    this.entities.splice(index, 1);
  }
});

AFRAME.registerComponent('my-component', {
  init: function () {
    this.system.registerMe(this.el);
  },

  remove: function () {
    this.system.unregisterMe(this.el);
  }
});
```

Applying for a mortgage is one of the biggest decision that an individual can make in his or her lifetime. As such, it is important for a first-time homebuyer to dedicate the necessary time and resources to employ the best mortgage lender – without exception.
So what does it take to hire the ideal mortgage lender? Here are three tips to help a first-time homebuyer quickly and effortlessly choose the right mortgage lender.
There is no shortage of top-notch lenders in cities and towns across the United States. Thus, a first-time homebuyer can meet with a variety of credit unions and banks to explore all of the mortgage options at his or her disposal.
Spend some time learning about lenders in your area. Look at each lender's experience and reputation, and you may be better equipped than other homebuyers to select the ideal lender based on your individual needs.
Furthermore, conduct face-to-face meetings with lenders. These meetings will allow you to learn about a wide range of mortgage options and will make it easy for you to make an informed decision.
When it comes to getting a mortgage for the first time, there is no need to leave anything to chance. Instead, ask plenty of questions as you consult with assorted lenders, and you can gain the insights you need to pick a lender that matches or exceeds your expectations.
Remember, there is no such thing as a "bad" question, particularly when it comes to mortgages. If you meet with various lenders, you can get all of your mortgage concerns and queries addressed without delay.
A first-time homebuyer who asks lots of questions may be able to avoid potential financial pitfalls down the line too. In fact, this homebuyer should have no trouble selecting a great lender who can fulfill his or her mortgage needs for years to come.
Let's face it – selecting a lender may prove to be exceedingly difficult. Fortunately, a real estate agent is happy to provide honest, unbiased advice to help you find the right lender in no time at all.
A real estate agent understands the challenges of obtaining a terrific mortgage, and as a result, will do everything possible to help a homebuyer discover a lender that can provide outstanding support day after day. Plus, a real estate agent can even help a homebuyer alleviate stress as he or she searches for the right lender.
Let's not forget about the support that a real estate agent can provide throughout the entire homebuying journey, either. Typically, a real estate agent can keep a homebuyer informed about new residences as they become available, set up home showings, negotiate with a home seller on buyer's behalf and much more.
Get the right mortgage any time you choose – use the aforementioned tips, and a first-time homebuyer can streamline the process of selecting the ideal lender.


Hello Koalas is a bold, ambitious and imaginative sculpture project, which celebrates one of Australia's iconic animals – the Koala. It also supports the outstanding work of the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital – the first facility in the world solely dedicated to care and conservation of the Koala.
Above all, it is designed to generate a sense of fun and surprise for everyone who comes across one of the creatively decorated koalas resting in parkland, lazing by the beach, waiting outside the shops, or playing with school kids.
The Hello Koalas project is inspired by the highly successful Larkin With Toads public art project in Hull UK in 2010 and has been conceived by Arts and Health Australia.
The Hello Koalas project recognizes the power that FUN, INNOVATION, QUIRKINESS and CREATIVITY can have on the socio economic fabric of our community.

101st Airborne Division, Fort Campbell Celebrate U.S. Army's 244th Birthday
Fort Campbell, KY – The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Blanchfield Army Community Hospital, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Campbell, soldiers, leaders, tenant units and distinguished civilian guests gathered for a ceremony to celebrate the U.S. Army's 244th birthday, June 13th, 2019 on Fort Campbell.
The theme for the Army's birthday this year was "America's Army: Honoring the Call to Service from D-Day to Today." The theme was very fitting for the "Screaming Eagle" division, as 85 Soldiers just returned from 10 days in Carentan, Normandy, France.

NASA discovers portions of Jupiter's Moon Europa's surface is Table Salt
Pasadena, CA – NASA says that on the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa a familiar ingredient has been hiding in plain sight. Using a visible-light spectral analysis, planetary scientists at Caltech and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, have discovered that the yellow color visible on portions of the surface of Europa is actually sodium chloride, a compound known on Earth as table salt, which is also the principal component of sea salt.
The discovery suggests that the salty subsurface ocean of Europa may chemically resemble Earth's oceans more than previously thought, challenging decades of supposition about the composition of those waters. The finding was published by Science Advances on June 12th.
Tara Regio is the yellowish area to left of center, in this NASA Galileo image of Europa's surface. This region of geologic chaos is the area researchers identified an abundance of sodium chloride. (NASA/JPL/University of Arizona)

The Tell-Tale Heart is a short story by one of the greatest writers of all time – Edgar Allan Poe. The short story was originally published in 1843, January. The short story is about a person, and the same person is also the narrator of the story, who is doing his best to make the readers feel that he is perfectly a sane person and in all his senses. However, that is only his fancy and he suffers from an extreme nervousness. And ironically, the narrator shares a story from his past to prove that he is not, and was never, an insane.
This unnamed person conceives an idea that he cannot move or shake from his place and has gone rigid. He talks about some old man whom he likes except the eyes which he despises and his hatred grows to such an extent that he kills that old man. The killing – the murder – and then the confession of the narrator is the amazing parts of the story and one must read those to fully enjoy that. I won't like to give details of those events but yes, I would surely love to talk about the art of Edgar Allan Poe and his short story's ending.
To that end, the narrator goes to the old man's room every night at 12 am, for seven days. Each night the narrator opens the man's door and puts in a lantern. After the lantern, the narrator puts his head through the doorway, slowly, and then lightens the lantern so that a small beam of light shines on the old man's eye. Each night the old man doesn't open his eye, so the narrator feels that he can't kill him.

Could you be an 'ordinary hero' during the coronavirus crisis? Then this could be the opportunity for you
New appeal launched for volunteers to help charities over the coming weeks
Today, Homeless charities, and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, issued an urgent appeal to ask members of the public to register as COVID-19 emergency staff.
A number of leading homeless organisations have come together to urge the public to become 'ordinary heroes' to prevent services to vulnerable people from having to shut their doors during the coronavirus pandemic.
A range of skills sets and roles are required, including reception and cleaning staff, as well as specialist supports such as support workers, healthcare workers, and night staff. All positions are paid roles.
Under the umbrella of the Crisis Cover Initiative, homeless organisations including Depaul, Extern, First Housing Aid and Support Services (FHASS) and the Simon Community, are asking members of the public with relevant qualifications and experience to add their name to a list of individuals who may be called on to step up where staff levels in services become depleted by personnel having to take time off.
Speaking about the initiative, Kevin Wright of FHASS said; "Our services are vital for the most vulnerable within our society. Any reduction in support would be catastrophic for our service users."
Jim Denison of the Simon Community added "The NHS is in place to deliver the best care possible at a very trying time. We need to ensure we are doing the same for homeless people in Northern Ireland – our organisations provide an opportunity for people to work in a variety of roles in essential services."
David Carroll of Depaul said: "We are worried that we will be left in a position where we must close services due to too many staff having to take time off. We need people to step up and become ordinary heroes. We know it's asking a lot, but it's no more than we are asking of doctors, nurses and others who have to go to work every day at this difficult time."
Danny McQuillan of Extern added "We know this is a stressful time for everyone. Work forms a huge part of our everyday routine and to have that taken away suddenly not only affects people's pockets but also their stress levels. We are now in the position where we can offer people much needed employment and also the opportunity to support some of the most vulnerable people in our community, and I would appeal for people to please apply to Crisis Cover if you can."
Clarke Bailie, of the Housing Executive, who is supporting the initiative, said: "Ensuring we keep services running for the most vulnerable is vitally important. This initiative plays an important role in connecting people who can help with those that need it. In relation to staff risk of catching Covid-19, these organisations are all taking advice on safety from the Public Health Agency and will be continually adapting this as new advice is available, however these roles are not recommended for people with underlying health conditions, or who are living with people who do'.
Nicola McCrudden, Homeless Sector COVID-19 Manager, added: "These are unprecedented times, the homeless sector in Northern Ireland is pulling together alongside statutory services to make sure that those living on the streets get the support they need, as well as the families and individuals living in temporary accommodation. Our priority is to protect both staff and service users and make sure we continue to provide vital services to our clients."

Beelieve You Can!: Do You Have A Family Medical History Tree?
Do You Have A Family Medical History Tree?
a. Explain your purpose. Emphasize that your purpose is to create a record that will help you determine whether you and your relatives have a family history of certain diseases or health conditions. Offer to make the medical history available to other family members, so that they can share the information with their doctors.
b. Provide several ways to answer questions. Some people may be more willing to share health information in a face-to-face conversation. Others may prefer answering your questions by phone, mail or e-mail.
c. Word questions carefully. Don't start with personal questions. Begin your interview by asking questions about the whole family. When you begin discussing personal medical history, keep your questions short and to the point.
d. Be a good listener. As your relatives talk about their health problems, let them speak without interruption. Listen without judgment or comment.
What type of health issues do your family members suffer from or have suffered from? What did Aunt Maude really die from? Old age or heart disease?
Map out your family's health history. Make a family tree diagram to record your blood relatives who live or lived with heart disease or other diseases. Update this often.
Listen to the terminology or word usage your family members' uses when describing how a family member died. My older Aunts would say, "Mother was told she was hormonal and needed to have more children and then she would feel better. But she never did, her mood got worse with each child." Do you hear what I hear here? She mostly likely had post-partum depression! What did they do with her? They put her in a mental institution until she died! How would that help you? If you are planning on having children, you may want the doctor to know that other female family members have suffered from PPD.
Ask your parents once in a while how their check ups are with their doctors. Ask them what their numbers are: blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, etc. Besides wanting to be more informed on their health, this knowledge is helpful for your doctor. I have thyroid disease; it would have been most helpful years ago to know I had aunts with this problem as well.
If you have a family genealogy, look it over. Most of the time it will tell you what they died from and their age of death. Look at death certificates. That's where my sister found out that great-grandmother died from breast cancer.
Make use of casual conversations with family members and slowly bring in health questions or concerns. This may generate some informative information.
Family health history cannot be changed, but it can be managed by having information.
What information should you include in a family medical history?
Your goal is to gather as much accurate information as possible. Don't expect to find answers to all your questions, and don't worry if some details are missing.
Also include information about race and ethnicity because the risk of a particular disorder may be greater in one population group than in others.
Review your family health history with each of your doctors. Each time the family health history changes make sure you make the necessary changes with your doctor's records as well.
Why Is it important that we have a Family Medical History?
A family medical history can't predict your future health. With few exceptions, it only provides information about risk. Other factors — such as your diet, weight, exercise routine, other lifestyle habits, and exposure to pollutants or environmental factors — will also raise or lower your risk of developing certain diseases.
If you are adopted, ask your adoptive parents if they received any medical information about your biological parents at the time of your adoption. Adoption agencies may also have family medical information on file. If you were adopted through an open adoption process, you may be able to discuss your family's medical history directly with members of your biological family.

Evelyn Waugh was born in Hampstead, London, in 1903. He studied History at Hertford College, Oxford, but left without a degree. After a brief period as a teacher, he published his first book, a biography of the artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, in 1928. The same year also saw the publication of his first novel, Decline and Fall, which established his reputation. Further novels, including Vile Bodies (1930), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Brideshead Revisited (1945) were highly acclaimed. Waugh also wrote several travel books and short stories, and was a prolific journalist and book reviewer. Waugh died on Easter Sunday, 1966, at his home in Combe Florey, Somerset.
