Мэ́ттью Джеймс Бе́ллами (; род. 9 июня 1978, Кембридж, Великобритания) — британский вокалист, гитарист, клавишник и композитор, фронтмен группы Muse.

Биография
Его отец имел непосредственное отношение к музыке (единственный из родителей всех троих участников Muse) — Джордж Беллами играл на гитаре в составе нескольких групп, причём одна из них — весьма успешная The Tornados. Мать Мэтта была со странностями и часто, приходя из школы, он слышал, как она разговаривала с мёртвыми, причём, не используя никаких спиритических приспособлений. У него есть старшая единокровная сестра (дочь отца от предыдущего брака) и брат.

В 1990 году семьи музыкантов Криса Уолстенхолма, Мэттью Беллами и Доминика Ховарда переехали в приморский городок Тинмут, графство Девон, Великобритания. Изнурительная жара летом, лютый холод зимой — то, к чему с трудом привыкали все жители. «Если тебе от 13 до 18, это место кажется сущим адом. Всё, что мы делали — слушали музыку и курили. Больше нам нечем там было заниматься», — вспоминает Мэттью. В семье был достаток, и у Мэтта было всё, что ему хотелось. Но через несколько лет родители разводятся, и всё меняется в его жизни. Теперь он живёт у бабушки, и именно в это время он серьёзно начинает заниматься музыкой. Это становится для него необходимостью.

Чтобы попасть в популярную местную группу Доминика Ховарда Gothic Plague, Мэттью начинает учиться играть на гитаре. Когда в Gothic Plague освобождается место гитариста, Мэттью не упускает шанса этим воспользоваться. В течение пары последовавших за этим лет в группе всё время меняется состав, одни уходят, другие приходят. Мэтт потом скажет со смехом: «Все остальные сбежали, не вынеся моего общества…»

Именно в то время Мэттью начинает серьёзно писать свои собственные песни, которые пока не были никому нужны, и пока что совсем не вызывали восторга у слушателей, что не пугало авторов. Как позже будет вспоминать Крис, басист Muse: «Наоборот, мы стали всё больше склоняться к тому, чтобы продолжать писать и играть собственные песни. Вначале мы играли в пустых клубах, но мы пообещали себе, что больше никогда не будем исполнять кавер-версии, и мы сдержали слово».

После окончания школы Мэтт уезжает в путешествие по Европе. Он посещает Италию, а также Испанию, где знакомится с одним испанским гитаристом, у которого ему удаётся поучиться игре на испанской гитаре в стиле фламенко. Также некоторое время он проводит в Греции. Во время путешествия с ним случаются, по его словам, очень серьёзные вещи: любовные истории, к примеру. И именно в Греции рождается та самая песня, названная «Muscle Museum», странным сочетанием слов, найденных Мэттом в карманном словаре по соседству с названием его группы.

В начале 1997 года Мэтт работает художником и оформителем. Он по-прежнему играет в свободное время с ребятами, которые тоже нашли себе занятие: Крис работу помощника в гитарном магазине, а Доминик довольствуется случайными приработками. На одном из самых заурядных концертов летом 1997 года с группой встретился представитель лейбла Dangerous Records и предложил им записаться в студии. Это положило начало славе Muse как музыкальной группы и самого Беллами как одного из величайших живых исполнителей мира.

На вышедшем в сентябре 2003 года альбоме Absolution явно заметен переход от бури эмоций, которые наполняли предыдущие альбомы Muse к более взвешенным и тонким лирически-депрессивным настроениям. Наиболее вероятным представляется, что у Мэтта возникли проблемы с самоидентификацией в результате резко возросшей популярности. Не зря основной проблемой, которую приносит ему Muse, Мэтт называет полное отсутствие нормальной личной жизни. Женщины смотрят на него как на звезду, а не как на обычного провинциального паренька. Известно лишь, что Мэтт осознавал то изменение звучания альбома, которое в итоге вышло, и очень переживал по поводу того, как его воспримут слушатели.

Увлечение Беллами теорией мирового заговора обнаружилось после релиза альбома Absolution, одна из песен которого Ruled By Secrecy («Тайно управляемые») названа по мотивам книги Джима Маррса () «Тайная власть» («Rule By Secrecy»). B-Side Futurism также затрагивает тему возможного безрадостного будущего.

Загадки, касающиеся Иллюминатов, появились во время поиска сокровищ, который Muse устроили для фанатов в 2005 году в рамках акции MTVU «Вторжение в Университет» («MTVU Campus Invasion Tour») и зашифрованных посланий, связанных с предстоящим выходом их нового альбома. Интерес Беллами к метафизике также очевиден. Muse принадлежат к музыкантам вроде Tool, являющихся проводником политических и философских направлений в современной музыке.

В альбоме Muse Black Holes and Revelations Беллами проявляет гораздо больший оптимизм по сравнению с ранними, более мрачными темами, всё ещё придерживаясь прежних своих концепций. Трек Exo-Politics («Космо-политика») отсылает слушателя к угрозе пришельцев Зета, и предполагает, что «наши лидеры скрывают от людей правду» («it's just our leaders in disguise»), поднимая тему теории заговора, в соответствии с которой правительства утаивают факты вторжения пришельцев. Эту проблему активно разрабатывает Стивен Грир () предлагая всем, у кого есть такая возможность (добровольным информаторам общества, имеющим доступ к закрытым источникам, вроде последнего немецкого учёного Вернера фон Брауна, работавшего на НАСА) политикам, СМИ и зрителям во всём мире участвовать в его проекте «Разоблачение» (Disclosure Project).

В интервью журналу Q Беллами назвал себя либертарианцем.

Музыкант

Влияние
Вокал Мэтта является неотъемлемой частью звучания Muse. Этот фальцет — одна из главных отличительных особенностей группы.

Стиль игры Беллами на фортепиано навеян творениями пианистов романтического направления, такими, как Сергей Рахманинов, результатом чего является сплав классического романтизма и рок-музыки, столь характерный для многих песен Muse. В частности, композиции «Space Dementia», «Megalomania», «Ruled by Secrecy» содержат неточные цитаты из первой части Концерта для Фортепиано с оркестром № 2 Рахманинова, а «Butterflies and Hurricanes» — из каденции третьей части.

В своих живых выступлениях Беллами часто прибегает к длинным романтическим фортепианным соло. Прелюдия в До-диез миноре открывает «Screenager» на сборнике «Hullabaloo», которая была сыграна вживую.

Альбом Black Holes And Revelations отсылает к русскому композитору романтического направления П. И. Чайковскому. В песне Hoodoo, ближе к концу, можно услышать начальные аккорды его Концерта для фортепиано с оркестром № 1, звучащие в миноре, перед тем как вступают другие инструменты.

Очевидные заимствования из Rage Against the Machine присутствуют на втором альбоме Origin of Symmetry в большинстве песен Muse, основанных на рифф-партиях, и выражаются в широком использовании Беллами эффектов, меняющих высоту звука (pitch-shifting effects) в его соло, как например, в случае с Invincible из альбома Black Holes And Revelations. Беллами также разделяет любовь Морелло к необычным и эксклюзивным примочкам для своей гитары.

В числе групп и музыкантов, оказавших на него воздействие, Мэтт в разное время называл: Nirvana, Primus, Том Уэйтс.

Концертные выступления
Беллами известен концертными выступлениями. Исполнение большинства своих песен он сопровождает активными сценическими импровизациями. Например, исполняя Plug In Baby, он иногда подпрыгивает и вертится на сцене, доигрывая сложнейшие риффы. Его выступления часто включают это кружение в прыжке и проталкивание гитары между ног. Такие песни как Knights of Cydonia и Stockholm Syndrome известны как самые любимые его концертные вещи. Самые известные живые выступления Muse включают Reading Festival в 2002 и 2006 годах, парижский концерт 2002 года «Live at la Zenith», лёгший в основу первого DVD группы Muse, Glastonbury Festival в 2004 году, на котором группа была представлена в роли хедлайнера, и выступления 16 и 17 июня 2007 года на открытии нового стадиона «Уэмбли» в Лондоне.

Музыкальное оборудование
Беллами использует заказные гитары, изготовленные Хью Мэнсоном (Hugh Manson) в Эксетере (графство Девон). В настоящее время у Мэтта 11 «Мэнсонов», а также множество гитар других производителей: Fender Aloha Stratocaster (одна из самых любимых и дорогих гитар Мэтта), Gibson Les Paul DC Lite , Gibson SG, Jackson Randy Rhoads (custom) a Parker Fly, Peavey EVH Wolfgang и Yamaha Pacifica.

Yamaha Pacifica 120 SC долгое время была основным инструментом Мэтта. Почти незаменимая гитара раннего периода. Бэллами оборудовал её двумя хамбэкерами DiMarzio и оснастил системой снятия звука Roland GK-2a, специально для использования с гитарным процессором Roland VG-8. Также на концертах того времени часто использовались Peavey Wolfgang EVH и странная оранжевая гитара — EMEX Londaxe, известная по видео Uno.

Gibson Les Paul DC Lite — основная гитара туров 2000 года. Так же как и большинство сценических гитар использовалась с процессором Roland VG-8. Мэтт сломал её в Дублинской Олимпии об кабинет Marshall 4x12.

Мэтт:

Fender Aloha Stratocaster принадлежит к ограниченной серии гитар Fender, выпущенных в количестве 153 штук. Гитара Мэтта 74-я. Она выпущена в 1995 году, дека покрыта алюминием. Модель этой гитары посвящена Фредди Таваресу (1913—1990). Это гавайский гитарист, который сыграл важную роль в проектировании моделей Fender Stratocaster.

Форму известной гитары Manson можно считать гибридом Ямахи Пацифики (Yamaha Pacifica), Фендера Телекастера (Fender Telecaster), Шектера (Schecter) и Годэн Триумф (Godin Triumph). Эта форма получила название «Мэттокастер»: так же, как именуются серийные гитары Фендер.

Первая и наиболее известная — серебристый «Мэнсон». Беллами придумывал, как улучшить её основные характеристики, а Хью Мэнсон помогал ему это реализовывать. Дека сделана из тополя и покрыта алюминием, гриф — из клёна, накладка на грифе — палисандр. Гитара имеет встроенный Z.Vex Fuzz Factory, который даёт Беллами неповторимый звук и возможность использовать управляемую обратную связь. Кроме того, у неё есть фейзер MXR Phase 90, midi-звукосниматель (полифонический) Roland GK-2a и звукосниматели Seymour Duncan и Kent Armstrong. Все другие его «Мэнсоны» выдержаны в схожем дизайне (кроме семиструнной гитары, изначально не предусмотренной для Мэтта), имея только небольшие различия в звукоснимателях и примочках. Постоянными остаются только встроенные Z.Vex Fuzz Factory и MXR Phase 90.

Чёрный «Мэнсон» Мэтта имеет MIDI полоску (тач-пад), которая через аппаратный MIDI-интерфейс управляет внешней педалью Digitech Whammy WH4. В грифе установлены светодиоды голубого спектра фирмы Sims Custom L.E.Ds. Основным отличием Чёрного Мэнсона является встроенная педаль Z.Vex Wah Probe. Это стандартный Wah — эффект, контролирующийся блестящей медной пластиной, прикрученной на передней панели гитары. Принцип работы такой же, как у терменвокса. Эта пластина исполняет роль антенны, вокруг которой образуется шар радиочастотной энергии. Чем ближе ваша рука приближается к пластине, тем ярче становится Wah-эффект. Гитара оборудована тремя звукоснимателями: бриджевый — Kent Armstrong Motherbucker, нэковый — Seymour Duncan Hot P90, а также на гитаре возле грифа установлен звукосниматель Fernandes Sustainer pickup system. Он приводится в действие переключателем, который, в свою очередь, соединён с бриджевым хамбэкером Kent Armstrong Motherbucker. Над MIDI тач падом находится рычажок-переключатель, который спаян со звукоснимателями по схеме ON/OFF/ON. Эта схема называется Toggle Kill Switch (в среднем положении тумблера идёт обрубка сигнала с рабочего звукоснимателя). Подобные схемы давно стали неофициальным брендом Тома Морелло. Переключатель присутствует на большинстве «Мэнсонов». Иногда Мэтт использует этот переключатель во время живых исполнений Plug In Baby.

Manson Bomber нужно было изготовить в сжатые сроки. Изначально гитара должна была быть с зеркальным покрытием. У Хью Мэнсона не было технологии хромирования дерева, и он обратился к Мартину Симсу. Гитару нужно было сделать очень быстро, чтобы успеть к туру Muse. В спешке хромирование прошло неудачно. Некоторые места на гитаре получились не зеркальными, а матовыми, к тому же на верхней части деки были мелкие пятна. Хью решил проблему, приобретя на местном складе металлолома коробку алюминиевых заклёпок от какого-то самолёта времён Второй мировой войны. На коробке была надпись «1945». Возможно, это был истребитель «Спитфайр» или что-то в этом роде. Дальше Хью просверлил в деке отверстия и вставил в них заклепки, чтобы она выглядела, как будто сделана из листа металла. Кисточкой-распылителем, в нужных местах, Хью нанёс на гитару пурпурно-синий оттенок. Хью Мэнсон:

Стоит отметить, что эта гитара не имеет встроенных эффектов, присутствует только контроль над внешней педалью Digitech Whammy WH4 как у Чёрного «Мэнсона» и контроллер режимов Whammy (на задней панели). Два звукоснимателя от Rio Grande: бриджевый-модель CrunchBox, нэковый-модель JazzBar, а также установлены Floyd Rose double locking tremolo system и тумблер Toggle kill switch.

Для нового альбома Black Holes and Revelations, он приобрёл новую гитару «Black Kaoss Manson». Гитара отличается двумя Hot P-90 на бридже, Fernandes Sustainer System на грифе и Kaoss Pad'ом. Также Мэтт купил M1D1 Manson, которая похожа на «Black Kaoss Manson», но в бридже используется хамбакер Bare Knuckle Nail Bomb, а в неке — Fernandes Sustainer System (модель FSK-101, в форм-факторе хамабкеры). Известно также, что на сцене он использует модель Jackson Randy Rhodes, а перед этим играл ещё на Ibanez Destroyer. Беллами использует усилители Diezel VH4, которые изготовлены вручную в Германии, вместе с кабинетами Marshall Mode Four, Soldano и цифровые эффекты от Line 6.

Мэтт:

Большинство рэковых эффектов (rack effects) Беллами создаются модулями Line 6. Модули эффектов достаточно массивные и расположены в рэк-стойке одного из усилителей Diezel. Через MIDI-интерфейс все эффекты последовательно соединены между собой с помощью Midi Solutions T8 Thru Box и Rocktron All Access Midi Controller. Последний также находится у Бэллами на сцене наряду с Ernie Ball Volume/Expression Pedal, Korg Rack Tuner и переключателем A/B box. Его студийная цепь эффектов также включает Nord Modular.

В записи альбома The Resistance при исполнении «Undisclosed Desires» использовалась клавитара, также производства Мэнсона.
В 2015 году Беллами, Менсон и Cort Guitars выпустили именную гитару Cort MBC-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature.

Достижения
В 2002 году Мэттью Беллами занял 29 место в списке 100 лучших гитаристов мира по версии журнала «Total Guitar», а его рифф из Plug In Baby по опросам оказался на 14 позиции в «Top 100 Riffs». Тот же рифф был отмечен альманахом «Rock and Pop» журнала «Q-magazine» среди лучших когда-либо сыгранных риффов. Вдобавок к этому, по результатам голосования «Top 100 Riffs of all time» австралийской радиостанции «Triple J», рифф из Stockholm Syndrome был признан величайшим риффом всех времен, обогнав «Smells Like Teen Spirit» Nirvana и другие не менее легендарные вещи. Plug In Baby также вошла в Top 20.

В апреле 2005 г. журнал «Kerrang!» по результатам опроса присвоил Мэтту 28 место в списке «50 самых сексуальных людей из мира рок-музыки», в том числе, и как своему доморощенному гитаристу номер 1. Не остался в стороне и модный Cosmopolitan, присудив Мэтту звание самого сексуального рокера 2003 и 2004 годов. Журнал NME поставил его на 14 ступеньку величайших рок-н-ролльных героев всех времен и народов, возвысив его над Ленноном, Диланом и многими другими музыкальными кумирами.

В 2009 году журнал Classic Rock включил Беллами в свой список величайших гитаристов всех времен.

В 2010 году Мэттью стал самым сексуальным мужчиной по мнению NME, в третий раз получив статуэтку в этой номинации. (Shockwaves NME Awards).

Q Magazine в майском номере за 2010 год в списке величайших фронтменов поместил Беллами на восьмую строчку, выше Маккартни и Леннона.

В 2013 году Беллами в пятый раз признан самым сексуальным мужчиной по мнению NME.

Упоминания
1 апреля 2019 немецкая группа Lord Of The Lost выпустила дружеское видео, посвященное Беллами — «Matt Bellamy».

NHTSA Questions Safety of Self-Driving Cars After Fatal Florida Car Accident
Gregg Hollander | July 22, 2016 | Car Accidents
In early May, a fatal car accident on a Florida highway seemed like just one of the many tragedies that occur on our roads daily. The driver, a 40-year-old from Canton, Ohio operating a Tesla car in Williston, Florida, had crashed into a tractor-trailer while traveling 65 mph.
But then in late June, federal authorities got roped into the investigation when it was learned the Tesla's Autopilot system was engaged at the time of the crash. In effect, this was a self-driving car, which are touted as infinitely safer options than human-operated vehicles. After all, human error is the cause of 90 percent of all crashes. Yet despite the fact that the Autopilot system was engaged, neither the driver nor the system activated the brakes before the car struck the tractor-trailer.
Now the federal government wants answers. But Tesla insists the cars are safe. There are 70,000 Tesla cars on the road that have this Autopilot feature. Representatives with the company insist the systems are safe when used as intended, and the problem in these cases is more likely than not driver error. That is, they aren't using the systems properly.
But is the fact that it's a "self-driving" vehicle a bit of a misnomer? Are drivers being given a false sense of security about them?
An unnamed executive from Tesla said in an interview with The New York Times that while the system is safe, consumers who misuse the Autopilot feature are toying with life-and-death. He added that drivers have to be cognizant of road conditions and be willing and able to take control of the vehicle at a second's notice. The vehicle can operate the speed, steering and controls for up to three minutes absent any driver involvement. But of course, even those who don't have an autopilot feature in their vehicle fail to watch the road and engage in safe driving habits. There is concern that these vehicles are lulling drivers into believing these systems can do it all, when in fact they cannot. The executive said the issue is often a lack of customer education.
But who is supposed to be responsible for educating them? And who is liable when this happens again, as inevitably it will?
It will be interesting to see how the company responds to a series of questions submitted to it in a 9-page letter by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The agency asserts there were two alleged defects in the vehicle: The failure of the automatic emergency braking system and the forward collision warning. The NHTSA wants information on the number of incidents in which the car manufacturer's vehicles' automatic braking system was activated and also wants the company to turn over any information on reported crashes or other incidents in which these same defects may have been an issue.
Traffic safety advocates have asserted that self-driving cars have big potential to save lives. However, the current driver-assist cars pose major risks to drivers mostly via mixed messages. They are sold on the idea that they can disengage from operating a vehicle, when in fact they cannot. This opens the door to manufacturer liability.

Tor, the sci-fi and fantasy imprint of Pan MacMillan, has announced that it is set to remove digital rights management from its e-books.
Over in the US, it was announced that Tor, Forge, Orb, Starscape, and Tor Teen books would become DRM free in July. Tor UK also said that it would be making its electronic novels DRM free over the next three months.
President and publisher Tom Doherty commented: "Our authors and readers have been asking for this for a long time. They're a technically sophisticated bunch, and DRM is a constant annoyance to them. It prevents them from using legitimately-purchased e-books in perfectly legal ways, like moving them from one kind of e-reader to another."
Jeremy Trevathan, Pan Macmillan's Fiction Publisher in the UK, added: "We know that this is what many Tor authors passionately want."
So soon enough, when you buy a Tor book on one e-reader format, you'll be able to transfer it across to other devices, should you wish. Whether existing Tor e-books will become DRM free this summer isn't clear.
Reaction from readers has certainly been positive, unsurprisingly. One comment on the UK blog announcement read: "I have never bought e-books because of the insulting DRM whose only effect was to punish me for being an honest person. Finally, I will be buying e-books and I look forward to it."
Pan MacMillan is the first major publisher to take this step, but thus far only with its sci-fi imprint. It's thought that other publishers may eventually follow suit, and will certainly be keeping a keen eye on the resulting sales.

The charges against Jussie Smollett have been dropped, according to CBS Chicago reporter Charlie De Mar, who tweeted the breaking news on Tuesday morning.
Earlier this month, a Cook County jury indicted the 36-year-old on 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct and filing a false police report in relation to his claim that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack.
"This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion," the statement continued.
The Cook County State's Attorney Office also released a statement confirming Smollett has forfeited his bond.
21st Century Fox Television has informed The Root that they have no comment at this time. We will keep you posted with updates as they arise.
Jussie Smollett has always maintained his innocence and we are gratified that all charges against him have been dismissed.
Following the news of his dropped charges, Smollett held a brief press conference on Tuesday.
"I have been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of one drop of what I have been accused of," he said.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel wasn't too pleased with the results, calling the decision a "whitewash of justice." Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson stood by his side during the press conference.

Functional studies of the secretory pathway of filamentous fungi: The effect of unfolded protein response on protein production: Dissertation
Mari Valkonen
BA3402 Protein production
Research output: Thesis › Dissertation › Collection of Articles
This study describes the cloning and characterisation of three genes from the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei. Snc1 encoding a putative v-SNARE was shown to be the functional homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SNC1 and SNC2 genes that encode proteins shown to function in exo- and endocytosis. Two components of the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway have also been identified. Ire1 encodes a serine /threonine kinase that has been shown to be involved the sensing of the protein folding status in the ER and transferring the signal to the nucleus. Ptc2 on the other hand, encodes a putative negative regulator of UPR. Both genes were isolated from T. reesei and shown to be the functional homologues of S. cerevisiae genes. The effects of UPR activation on gene expression and protein production in S. cerevisiae and two filamentous fungi, T. reesei and Aspergillus niger var. awamori are also presented. The data shows that the UPR induction, either by HacA or Ire1 overexpression in A. niger var awamori and T. reesei, respectively, induces the expression of an ER-resident foldase and an ER-resident chaperone. Moreover, the UPR induction induces the expression of genes encoding functions at different steps of the secretory pathway in both fungi. This is in correlation with results obtained in other organisms. The UPR induction was in this study shown to induce production of secreted proteins both in S. cerevisiae and A. niger var. awamori. In yeast the UPR induction by constitutive over-expression of activated yeast HAC1 and T. reesei hac1 resulted in induction of both native and foreign protein production. On the other hand, deletion of HAC1 resulted in decrease in protein production. In A. niger var. awamori only the production of foreign proteins was induced in HacA over-expressing transformants. The production of native proteins was lower in these transformants compared to the controls. The over-expression of Ire1 in T. reesei had no effect on foreign protein production.

Note: On Sunday, February 10th the Fort Collins Homeless Coalition (FCHC) organized a rally in solidarity with Food Not Bombs and in support of the right to share food in our parks. FCHC is continuing to collaborate on this effort to secure the right of people in our community to share food (without facing threats of tickets, fines/fees, harassment, or unfair restrictions). Having such a great demonstration of support makes a big difference- thanks to everyone who showed up and made it a joyful act of resistance. We'll continue updating here and sign up to receive FCCAN's Action Bulletin for more opportunities to get involved. And come show your support at Food Not Bomb's Zine Release Party this Friday!
We have been holding community picnics for about two years now, under the name of Food Not Bombs. We believe that nutritious food is a human right, not a privilege. We believe that it is a moral failure of all of us that there are members of our community who go hungry– especially in this day and age when a staggering proportion of cultivated food is destined for landfills. We have been gathering every week at the library park to share food and company with those who are hungry. It is a nourishing time for both body and soul, as the community comes together and stand with each other in defiance to the system that manufactures and perpetuates poverty. We chat, listen, sing, dance, and of course, eat. These picnics that brought us closer to the houseless community within the city and gave us opportunities to listen to the houseless folks and their struggle against the city authorities that want to criminalize their existence.
Unfortunately, our picnics did not always draw positive reactions from the folks in the neighborhood. Some neighbors have come up to the meal table and accused us of attracting houseless folks to the park and hence creating problems that they always seem to (wrongly) conflate with houselessness itself. We were disheartened by these interactions, but it was not until the threats escalated that we truly felt the need to speak up and stand our ground.
Two weeks ago, we were notified by the library security that someone had called police on our meal service. The following week, the police shut down our community picnic. The police stated they had received a call about a dog off leash, but then refused to leave and threatened to give us citations until the picnic was taken down entirely. We were told that we will receive citations if we share another picnic without getting a permit. We were forced to pack up and leave without having served all our food.
It is worth noting that the permitting process in "Fort Collins" is prohibitively expensive, and the city's rules about what kind of events require permits are extremely vague. The rules, as they stand currently, call any use of the park that happens more than "once a week/month" an event which requires a permit. The park also cites an increased load on the public infrastructure as a reason for them to strictly restrict the use of their parks but 1) most, if not all, folks whom we serve are already present at the library at the time/day and 2) even if every single person we served is attracted to the park solely because of our meals, the degree to which it impacts the overall library attendance is marginal at best given the size of the picnic. Therefore, it is evident to us that the city is selectively applying these intentionally vague rules to further marginalize the poor and houseless folks within our community. One must wonder what kind of treatment we would have gotten if everyone showing up to the picnic was a housed, wealthy, middle-class person.
Interestingly, this fight is not unique to "Fort Collins" – the Fort Lauderdale Food Not Bombs has experienced almost identical struggle a few years ago that resulted in prolonged legal fight. They too argued that the city ordinance was unjustly violent against the voice of the people. Eventually, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that banning such gathering is against the First Amendment of the "US" Constitution, allowing Fort Lauderdale Food Not Bombs to continue their community picnics. Since then, this case has been used to defend numerous Food Not Bombs friends around the country.
"Fort Collins" as a community has time and time again attempted to further oppress the poor and houseless folks. During the Mennonite Church's fight to host a few lockers for the houseless folks, we have all witnessed the strong reactionary opposition from some people in the neighborhood that accused the houseless folks of drug use, "disorderly conduct", and so-called crimes. City now has imposed unrealistic amendments to the operation of the lockers, rendering the program effectively impossible. Similarly, the Sit-Lie Ban was an inhumane, targeted assault on the houseless folks that aimed to brush under the rug the failure of our economic system to meet basic human needs. The city has always chosen to cover up their own shortcomings with a suffocating blanket of apathy to uphold the manicured fantasy that is the downtown "Fort Collins".
We prefer not to have to appeal to the authority just to help our neighbors, whether that authority be the city council or the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. We dream of a world where helping each other is a right and a responsibility, not an illegal action. However, Food Not Bombs, as well as our compassionate friends are ready to stand our ground. If the city tries to push us out to the fringes, we will continue to fight for our rights and for the well-being of our community.

Ben Jean, 9, of Plymouth, lost two aunts and an uncle in the earthquake in Haiti. He wrote this story for his school newspaper at St. Margaret's Regional School in Buzzards Bay. He is the son of Arrison and Debbie Jean.
Ben Jean, 9, of Plymouth, lost two aunts and an uncle in the earthquake in Haiti. They were the sisters and brother of his father, Arrison Jean.
"It is very quiet at home now," says his mother, Debbie Jean. "The days go by and the sadness just hangs in the air. There is nothing we can do because we are so far away, and this feeling of helplessness leaves us restless. We can only pray that the grief doesn't linger too long, that the memories remain clear, and that something good will come of such a tragic loss."
Ben wrote this story for his school newspaper at St. Margaret's Regional School in Buzzards Bay, is collecting articles to send with a missionary group, items such as gauze, band aids, soap, shampoo, antibacterial hand wash, hydrogen peroxide, surgical gloves, surgical masks and similar items.
The morning started off as any other day. Children were at school, men went to work, ladies were praying. By 12 o'clock some men are fishing, chickens are laying, dogs running through the streets. Palm trees are standing proud and tall. The Cathedral, which is a giant church, stands strong and beautiful in the tropical sun.
In the school room, children are praying their end of the day prayer. The bell rings around 4:30 to let them know they are free to go. They walk home on the hot roads of Port Au Prince like any other day. But this day, every Haitian's life will be changed forever.
Suddenly, at 4:53, the tectonic plates rub together 5 miles below the streets of Port Au Prince. People begin screaming for help. The animals are panicking. Buildings start to shake and begin to collapse because they aren't built as hardy as they should be. Some trees are uprooting because they are also not as tough. Terror flows through the air, as 3 million lives are threatened.
People are wandering out of their houses and walking around everywhere. They are wondering what they should do next. Millions of them are homeless; too many thousands of them have died. Hundreds of them are badly injured and medical help won't arrive for days.
Lots of people are getting tired and started to pray to God to thank him for letting them stay alive. Many groups of people are just looking for a piece of cloth for their shelter. It is getting darker and darker and there is no electricity. They were all laying in the street praying in a singing voice. When people started to fall asleep, the singing stopped.
That was January 12, 2010, a day I will never forget.
None of the Haitians that slept in the street that night knew it would take four days for the medical ship to come. Or two days before there would be water to drink. They were desperate. A big group of people didn't know if they should climb the mountain or not. No one knew what to do. Their phones could not reach America for help. They did not know we were on our way.
This tragic event made every country come together to help this small island. Some countries such as France, United States, Canada, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, China, Israel, Dominican Republic, Spain, and England, sent their military, rescue teams, and millions of dollars to try to save Haiti.
This is one of the most tragic world disasters of all time. Even though the strong and beautiful Cathedral of Port au Prince crashed during the quake, people and families still came together and professed their faith to God on Sunday outside the fallen walls.
Ben's grandmother Victoire Francelot Jean, moved to the United States in December. Below are the three children she lost in the earthquake. Her three surviving children are Arrison Jean of Plymouth, Wesly Jean of New York and Walky Jean of Cap Haitian, Haiti. Walky, the youngest, is the only one in the family left in Haiti.
Philona Jean, 33, was two weeks away from being reunited with her husband in Canada. She was in Port Au Prince waiting for paperwork to arrive by mail. She had anticipated being in Montreal by Jan. 26. Reginald Jean, 26, had just finished two years of computer programming college in Santiago, Dominican Republic. He was excited of the possiblities of finding a good job with these new skills. Andelie Jean, 20, was in her second year of nursing school in Santiago. She was home in Port Au Prince for Christmas and had planned to return to school on Jan. 22.

The No.1 class auxiliary minesweeper (第一号型掃海特務艇,, Dai Ichi Gō-gata Sōkai-Tokumutei) was a class of minesweepers of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), serving during World War II. 22 vessels were planned and built in 1941–43 under the Maru Rin Programme (Ship # 251–256) and the Maru Kyū Programme (Ship # 480–495).
2 Ships in class
In 1938, the IJN was troubled by drifting contact mines from the National Revolutionary Army at Yangtze River. The IJN dispatched a lot of minesweepers and paravane equipment vessels (minelayers, torpedo boats and more) to Yangtze River, but they were damaged by a drifting contact mines too.
The IJN wanted a small and light-footed minesweepers. The IJN already commandeered a lot of fishing boats and gave minesweeping operations to them. The Kampon designed minesweeper similar to the trawlers. It is No.1-class auxiliary minesweeper (Project Number I5).
They have begun to be commissioned from 1942. However, all of them was dispatched to Pacific front, and they were no match for the magnetic mine because their hull was made by steel.

August started with a bang for Upstart Co-Lab. The social sector, the arts sector, and the impact investing sector all recognized our efforts to spotlight artists as innovators and unleash more capital for creativity.
Upstart Co-Lab's Laura Callanan was named to The Nonprofit Times Power and Influence Top 50. She's the only arts-related leader recognized this year. #NPTpower50.
Check out the Artsy editorial, and read our report Great Minds Don't Think Alike: Artists as innovators in business, government, and society.
The Barron's article describes the opportunity for impact investing in the creative economy, what types of deals are delivering financial and social return, and what investors should tell their wealth advisors.


I just updated the WWN Converter to version 3.4.0. The changes based on the some feedback from the field. Thanks for that. If the included auto-update function fails, re-install the product from the ZIP file or via ClickOnce.
You can download the current version via ClickOnce or in a ZIP file. Please keep in mind, that this piece of software is shippted without any warranty.
I spend some time on the Data Protector NDMP Integration, especially to compare it to CIFS/NFS backups available with the regular Disk Agent. Luckily an older EMC Celerra NS20 was available and I was able start immediately. A quick look at the NDMP support matrix revealed no restrictions since the unit was running T5.6.50.203.
To give you any idea on how the NS20 was configured, I just put together a quick drawing and some tables. This NS20 comes with one DAE4P used for FC and one used for SATAII drives. Redundant X-Blades (Data Movers) are configured as Active/Standby at the bottom provides NAS capability of the unit. Each X-Blade is equipped with two so called AUX ports used for tape connectivity. In my setup the first AUX port of each X-Blade was attached to the SAN infrastructure and zoned to an existing tape library mainly used for Object copies at the moment.
Due to an upgrade from vSphere 4.0 to 5.0 some of our virtual machines stopped working in VEPA/vStorage backup sessions. I've noticed that a quiesced snapshot using vCenter was not possible. I was able to fix the most of them by reinstalling VMware Tools to fix some VSS inconsistencies, but an Exchange 2010 VM caused some additional issues.
vCenter reported the following warnings during creation of a quiesced snapshot.
Create virtual machine snapshot / An error occurred while quiescing the virtual machine. See the virtual machine's event log for details.
Check the output of vssadmin list writers to determine the status of available VSS writers. In our case the Exchange writer reports an error.
The event logs of the Windows 2008 R2 VM had the following errors, pointing to a VSS Provider related issue. Strange but true, the Exchange 2010 VSS Backups using Data Protector work as expected without any problems.
Just came across a strange effect, at least strange for a system administrator, related to VMware Ressource Allocation. When checking one of my virtual servers I've noticed a high memory usage compared to the running processes in Task Manager and Process Explorer. The barely no free RAM left. I was not able find a relation between running processes and consumed memory.
It turned out that someone around messed up the Memory Ressource Allocation for this specific VM and nearly downed it completely. I was not even able to perform a proper backup and the application was no longer responding in a proper fashion.
After changing the Memory Limit from 512MB to Unlimited the system returned to normal memory usage after some time.
The impatient would choose to reboot because Windows will need some time to reclaim the memory once the ballooned area is removed.
Ressource Pools and Ressource Allocation are really useful. Both features helped me survive times of memory shortage in the past. Use them appropriate to prevent unnecessary swapping.
Have you ever wondered what happened to management agents the major server vendors provided in the past for VMware ESX? (e.g. HP Management Agents for VMware ESX) They have been moved into a more standardized framework within ESXi – the so called extensions. Those extensions are bundled with the regular ESXi installation media by most server vendors. If such a media kit was used for ESXi installation, some additional software is most likely installed. You can verify this is Tech Support Mode (TSM) with the command esxupdate query.
If an ESX farm grows, it can become quite an issue to keep track of the extensions installed when going forward upgrading to the latest VMware update pack. As there are sometimes hard dependencies you might want to postpone the upgrade until a certified extension package is ready.
You can apply extension updates using esxupdate or vihostupdate.pl for each host, but a much more comfortable way is the usage of VMware Update Manager (VUM).
If you ever worked with Hyper-V on Windows 2008 R2 you might know the Linux support is still an issue compared to other hypervisors like VMware. In the meantime Microsoft official supports SLES and RHEL as Hyper-V R2 guests. To have them running smoothly, you should install the Linux Integration Services Version 3.1 for Hyper-V on each Linux VM.
I spend some time to get Integration Services running on Gentoo Linux. The nice thing is, that with the release of Linux Kernel 3.0 and later the source of the Integration Services have been integrated into the kernels staging directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/staging/hv which is useful if you want to avoid external code.
As you hopefully know, there is a specific patch order for Data Protector patches you should follow – especially on Windows CS, because the patches are not only applied to the Installation Server.
So, if you forgot to rename the patches while downloading them from http://support.openview.hp.com/selfsolve/patches you might want to identify the patches before installing them.
The easy way is to enable the Product name field for your Windows Explorer. This works for Windows patches only – Solaris, Linux and HP-UX patches are a bit different.
First switch your folder view to Details and then right-click on any visible field in to bring up the context menu which allows you to add additional fields of your Windows Explorer.
The more time consuming way is to open each patch one by one, look at the title bar and check the patch dependencies for each patch available and currently installed. This is also the preferred way if you can't remember the patch order at all.
As you might have seen on Mr_T's Blog on hp.com, there is a workaround available for the restrictions in the Data Protector scheduler. It allows you to schedule some specific points in time such as the last Friday per month which is not possible using the GUI at the moment.
It you need to know how this is implemented for backups, visit his blog. If you need to schedule a copy session or report group, read on. There is a slightly difference in the syntax, but it's quite easy to schedule the last Sunday for example.
Just open the schedule file related to the copylist located in Omni_Home\Config\Server\copylists\scheduled\schedules. To have the last Sunday scheduled as mentioned above, put the following lines into that file and refresh the GUI.
The procedure for a report group works similar, but with a slightly different syntax.
The file for your report group in Omni_Home\Config\Server\rptschedules needs to be modified like this.
Hint: You can also use -at –:– for the -exclude to be more generic.
Device persistence on Linux is not as hard as it seems. Current releases of all major distributions (RHEL and SLES) come with preconfigured udev rules. They will create aliases in the device filesystem in /dev/tape which is pretty handy. The name of the alias will vary, depending of the device but will remain consistent across reboots on different hosts. The original /dev/st* and /dev/nst* files will not be changed at all.
Sure, you can add additional rules, but this won't make things better. It is a good practice to avoid the device serial number in the name as the S/N will change if the drive is replaced. A device WWID will remain if the library overwrites it. And also keep in mind, if Linux uses an initrd image, you'll have a hard time making the st, nst and sg devices persistent across reboots.
Even if this information is distributed in Native Linux Device-Mapper Disk Arrays reference guide trough SPOCK, I'd like to wrap up the most impotent facts for the impatient. By now, this is configuration is fully supported by HP. Emulex as well as QLogic FC HBAs are supported. I'd like to refer to SPOCK for a complete listing.
Based on distro, kernel and device-mapper-multipath versions minor modifications might be required to match your specific needs. Those have been included as well in the listing below.
getuid_callout	"/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
If you're stuck with the EVA3000 personality right now, you might want to migrate to HSVX700. Please make sure you unpresent all LUNs via VSM before personality change to prevent unexpected DPM reboots.
Note: You do not have to use HPDM Kit 4.4.1 for current distros This is only required for RHEL 5.3 and earlier due to an issue in the scsi_id tool used for getuid_callout.
Need Data Protector 9.09 Free and OpenSource dependancies: I need to find the location in either the file system or the documentation that identifies the Free and Open Source components of the Data Protector product, as well as what copyright agreement (i.e.


Fresh on the heels of inking a multiyear deal with ABC to create and develop new projects under their Trip the Light Prods. banner, "Grey's Anatomy" showrunner Krista Vernoff and producing partner/husband Alexandre Schmitt, an accomplished music video and commercial producer, have listed their solar-powered home in a quiet corner of L.A.'s Los Feliz area at just under $2.8 million. Property records indicate Vernoff, whose credits include "Private Practice" and "Shameless," retained ownership of the house she acquired in 2006 for an unrecorded amount with her now ex-husband, television writer-producer Kevin Maynard.
Bolted for earthquake safety and environmentally overhauled with energy efficient insulation and dual flush toilets, the navy-blue residence has five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms in almost 4,400 square feet. Entry comes through an unexpectedly grand foyer with original stone staircase and elegant Art Deco-inspired steel railing. A rustic, white-painted stone fireplace is asymmetrically wedged into a corner of the living room next to a broad bank of French doors that lead to a huge, elevated covered patio that overlooks a lower terrace with dark-bottom swimming pool. An angled snack bar divides the living room from a galley kitchen with up-to-date designer appliances and adjoining dining area. A main-floor bedroom has what marketing materials describe as an "artist's nook"; two more second-floor guest bedrooms each have a private bath; and the master suite includes a small sitting room that opens to a large terrace.
Although it seems unlikely they'll make it their primary residence, Vernoff and Schmitt also own a just over 1,200-square-foot, two-bedroom and 2.5-bathroom townhouse-style condo in a huge complex in Culver City, Calif., which they picked up in 2017 for $635,000.

Patarei Prison–This former prison-turned-museum, easily accessible by foot or bike from the Old Town, is open for guided tours in a variety of languages. The caretaker told us someone had recently rented it for a birthday party. One ward was full of site-specific art installations, including sound- and light- art. There are guard towers to climb, outdoor cages to peer into, and gallows to gawk at. Many remnants from the prison's inmates and employees are left behind–a full library, office files, newspaper clippings and graffiti, clothing still on hangers. We went 3 days in a row until the man in charge realized we loved the place as much as he did, and he finally let us wander around alone.
Officially billed as a "Maritime Museum", the unofficial highlight of the sprawling campus, where there wasn't much else to look at, was the echo chamber formed by the domed concrete ceiling sheltering rusty boats. Every pebble scratch or hand-clap reverberated in 360 degrees. The structure was technically closed off to the public (chunks of fallen concrete from above provided a good excuse as to why) but it wasn't closely watched.
Olde Hansa restaurant in the Old Town could be considered a tourist trap, with its medieval decor and relatively high prices, if it weren't for its absolutely delicious food and *cinnamon* beer. The candlelit ambiance and yummy soup in funny terra cotta dishware had us coming back for more.


I spent last week talking to Canadian investors interested in MLPs. Since energy is such a large part of the Canadian economy, they're very familiar with it in general and the contrasting conversations provide a new way of thinking about our own regulatory environment. Canadian First Nations garnered national attention for pipeline protests long before Dakota Access achieved hashtag status. While energy investors north of the border were baffled at the US state department's rejection of Keystone XL, it spurred the industry to work aggressively towards finding customers for their oil outside of the US. In both countries, energy investors yearn for a return to (a perhaps mythical) regulatory business-as-usual. Last week, it seemed like we almost got there.
First, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the approval of both Kinder Morgan (KMI)'s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and Enbridge Inc (ENB)'s Line 3 replacement/expansion. Other projects, like ENB's Northern Gateway, were vetoed. Of note, neither of the approved projects are entirely new. ENB will be replacing an entire pipeline, while KMI will be twinning an existing one. Technically, neither of those approvals will directly help US MLPs (the AMZI fell 1.0% that day), but Line 3 does extend into the US, where it is owned and operated by Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP). All the same, the announcement of Canadian approvals began to change the tone of the conversation around regulatory difficulties.
The next morning, the FERC released their Final Environmental Impact Statement for Spectra Energy Partners (SEP)'s NEXUS Gas Transmission Project, right on schedule. While a routine report doesn't seem like it would generate such positive sentiment, considering recent environmental activism and concerns, the lack of a delay let investors breathe a sigh of relief.
It didn't last long, though. Over the weekend, the Army Corps of Engineers announced that it will not approve a final easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline. A victory for the protesters, new pipeline routes will be studied, which will inevitably delay the final in-service date. While Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) fell on the news, it is still trading above its pre-election levels.
Of course, the OPEC meeting also happened last week. While the production cut was greeted positively, uncertainty remains as to how and if the cut will take place.
It's easy to be nostalgic for the shale boom (let's say, pre-2014), when the major concerns seemed to be how fast pipelines could be built in terms of physical construction. In 2016, time and again, MLP investors have learned not to take regulatory approvals for granted.
Heading into the end of this year, regulatory risk for MLPs has shifted but not resolved. Questions remain about how effective the US President can be in resolving these concerns. As head of the armed forces, can he simply overrule or dictate to the Army Corps of Engineers? Concerned groups of citizens have now twice (Keystone XL and Dakota Access) made their voices heard and won victories against pipeline projects.
Those who believe in the power of a strong government will see more upside than downside for MLPs heading into 2017. With Trump in office, they believe, these temporary regulatory setbacks will be resolved and pipeline companies will deal with considerably less red tape in the future. Given the liberal nature of Trudeau's government and his administration's approval of new projects, they believe that the value of business will win in the end.
Then again, Trump came to be the US President-elect by appealing to everyday people who feel like they have been forgotten by those in power. The Standing Rock Sioux tribe felt similarly forgotten, and without a candidate to speak for them, spoke for themselves.
While uncertainty remains, so too will volatility. Just because a project is NPV positive and fully contracted doesn't mean it'll get built. As new projects face more challenges, existing projects become more valuable. While many hope to see resolution quickly following the January 20th Inauguration, there are no safe bets.
