Memoir of Florin, California-based Nisei educator and activist Mary Tsukamoto co-authored by Elizabeth Pinkerton and published in 1987 when Tsukamoto was seventy-two. Though the book covers her entire life, well over half of it focuses on her and her family's wartime confinement, their resettlement in the Midwest, and eventual return to California.
After a Preface by Pinkerton introduces Tsukamoto and introductions by Congressman Robert Matsui , Sacramento Mayor Anne Rudin, and Smithsonian Institution Curator Harold Langley, the book begins with news of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the removal of the Japanese American community of Florin, California, before going back to cover Mary's family story and the prewar years. The second of six children of immigrants from Okinawa, Mary Dakuzaku is born in San Francisco, but largely raised in Florin, a heavily Japanese American farming community outside of Sacramento. Despite being forced to attend segregated schools, Mary is an outstanding student and with the help of supportive teachers, wins a scholarship to the College of Pacific in fall of 1933. Forced to drop out due to health problems—she is plagued by arthritis throughout her life—and financial pressures, she returns to Florin in 1936 and marries Al Tsukamoto. The couple soon has a daughter, Marielle. Tsukamoto describes in detail her and her family's forced removal and incarceration first at the Fresno Assembly Center , then at the Jerome , Arkansas, concentration camp, documenting her despair, anger, Christian faith, and ultimately, drive to help others. She is an advisor to girl's clubs and president of the YMCA chapter at Jerome. She and her family eventually resettle in Kalamazoo, Michigan, before returning to Florin after the war. She becomes a popular school teacher after the war and is active in a summer school that promotes Japanese American culture and the Redress Movement in retirement. The book ends with Mary's testimony before the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians and with her contributions to the 1987 A More Perfect Union exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
Beyond telling Tsukamoto's personal and familial story, We the People tells a larger story of the close-knit Japanese American farming community in Florin—built primarily around strawberries and grapes—that is destroyed by the war. Due to the vagaries of the exclusion orders , the community is split into four and sent to different camps. Due to the fierce anti-Japanese agitation in rural areas of California during the war, many former Florin residents decide not to return when the West Coast exclusion is lifted. Changes in the economics of farming after the war kills off the remaining agricultural endeavors, including the Tsukamotos': after farming for a few years after the war, they give it up, and Al becomes an electronics technician, while Mary goes into teaching.
Two other notable aspects of the story: (a) The Tsukamotos were among the relatively few Japanese Americans fortunate enough to have their home and property looked after by sympathetic white friends, in this case Bob Fletcher , who cared for several Japanese American farms. Given their relative good fortune, their home becomes a kind of hostel that hosts many other returnees who have place to go; (b) Though it is not dwelled on, Mary serves as executive secretary of the local Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) chapter just prior to the war and assists Japanese American families and army in the roundup, while arguing that Japanese Americans as a whole realized that it would be useless to resist. In his study of the Arkansas concentration camps, historian John Howard writes that "Tsukamoto spoke of a consensus that, in fact, did not exist." [1] She alludes to being criticized by other Japanese Americans for her actions. She remains active with the JACL through the postwar and redress years and views this history through a JACL lens and, in the words of co-author Pinkerton, "with a patriotic fervor that knows no rest." [2]
After its initial publication in 1987, a second printing in 1988 added a short epilogue that notes early reaction to the book, the opening of A More Perfect Union , and the passage of HR 442 (what would eventually become the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 ) by the House of Representatives. A Japanese translation of the book appeared in 2001. A third printing in 2008 commemorated the ten year anniversary of both Mary's and Al's passing. [3]

Kevin Mitnick demonstrates how easy it is for a hacker to tap into your network and read your email messages, even if it's a fiber optic network.
Kevin Mitnick, famous former black hat hacker, demonstrates just how easy it is for a hacker to tap into your network and read your email. And he's doing it with a fiber optic network connection, not a simple and very non-secure CAT5x or CAT6x network wire. And he doesn't have to connect to the Internet, your network, or any outside resources to do this. He clamps onto a fiber optic "wire", opens Wireshark, and sniffs away your most guarded secrets.
Mitnick demonstrates in under five minutes how he could get near your network, set up a clandestine connection, sniff your network, grab your passwords, email, anything sent "over the wire" unencrypted, and disappear within minutes. And you'd never catch him doing it.
Although it isn't obvious from the video, the hardware item that they discuss is an optic fiber clip-on coupler. It's not designed for the purpose that Mitnick uses it for, but it works and that's the "beauty" of being a hacker: You use hardware and software in creative ways to get the information and the results you want.
The video shows just how easy it is to eavesdrop on conversations on-the-wire, even if the wire is fiber optic cable. Standard cabling is easier still to tap without cutting any wires by simply using alligator clips to attach to the cables. However, if someone wants your data bad enough, he can quickly splice a cable and plug both ends into a small hub and collect all the data he wants. Cutting your cables isn't a problem for a thief and yes, they will do it.
So, someone wants to place a "vampire" tap into your network and there's not much you can do about it if he or she has physical access and a few minutes of uninterrupted time. What do you do?
As Mitnick explains in the video, use encrypted connections for everything you do and that includes email, chat, web browsing, remote connectivity -- everything.
Of course, he has everything set up on a nice table top, but the entire process would only take ten minutes in a cramped wiring closet. And if the hacker is really clever, he could hide the tap, use a tiny Raspberry Pi computer to grab the data, hook it up to his or her Google Drive account and siphon data 24x7. Not a bad haul for $50 worth of materials, a free online account, and ten minutes of time. Kind of makes working for a living look like a silly undertaking, doesn't it?
Take a few minutes to watch the video and then take a few more to write back, in the comments section, to tell me what you think.


Sharp Health Plan is committed to preventing overuse and protecting patient safety. Effective January 1, 2017, Sharp Health Plan began the opioid cumulative dose program for members using opioid drugs. The purpose of the program is to reduce the likelihood that members receive unsafe levels of opioid medications.
Unsafe opioid levels could be the result of a member receiving multiple prescriptions containing opioids at the same time (drug overlap), or due to a member receiving opioid prescriptions from multiple prescribers. Our goal is to help protect members from receiving unsafe levels of medication that could cause them harm.
The program is active at the point-of-sale, or pharmacy, when members fill their prescriptions.
The program reviews prescription drug claims for members who are receiving opioid drugs from two or more prescribers.
The program checks the morphine-equivalent dosing (MED) of these medications to help avoid overuse.
An MED is a measure of how many milligrams of morphine the medication is estimated to contain, if the member's medication dose was converted to a similar dose of morphine.
Pharmacies will be notified to verify dosing.
The prescribing doctor will need to submit a prior authorization request and obtain Plan approval in order for the medication to be covered.
Sharp Health Plan will apply the appropriate drug utilization review process to ensure access is maintained for needed medications.
If you have any questions about the opioid cumulative dose program, please contact Customer Care at 1-858-499-8330.
Evaluate patient taking benzodiazepine and opioid concurrently.
Claim conflicts in therapy with member history.
The dispensing pharmacist will be given the opportunity to override the rejection.
The purpose of this safety program is to alert the pharmacist that concurrent use of benzodiazepines and opioids has been detected, which is a potential safety issue. If the pharmacist determines that the prescription claim(s) and/or concurrent use are appropriate, the pharmacy can override the reject. If the pharmacist determines that the prescription claim(s) and/or concurrent use are not appropriate, the pharmacist will not perform an override. A prior authorization will be required. Prior Authorization requests can be submitted by the prescribing physician to Sharp Health Plan at: 1-858-357-2534.

Q: How to get information about free memory and running processes in an App Store approved app? (Yes, there is one!) There is an app called "Activity Monitor Touch" in the App Store, which displays background processes as well as free memory.
So there MUST be an public API to access this information. The evidence:

I'm already searching for days but can't find any good starting point. How can this app figure all this stuff out without any jailbreaking / hacking / etc.?
Until recently I was sure that something like this is absolutely impossible on iOS.
I've found this code snippet:
- (NSArray *)runningProcesses {

    int mib[4] = {CTL_KERN, KERN_PROC, KERN_PROC_ALL, 0};
    size_t miblen = 4;

    size_t size;
    int st = sysctl(mib, miblen, NULL, &size, NULL, 0);

    struct kinfo_proc * process = NULL;
    struct kinfo_proc * newprocess = NULL;

    do {

        size += size / 10;
        newprocess = realloc(process, size);

        if (!newprocess){

            if (process){
                free(process);
            }

            return nil;
        }

        process = newprocess;
        st = sysctl(mib, miblen, process, &size, NULL, 0);

    } while (st == -1 && errno == ENOMEM);

    if (st == 0){

        if (size % sizeof(struct kinfo_proc) == 0){
            int nprocess = size / sizeof(struct kinfo_proc);

            if (nprocess){

                NSMutableArray * array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

                for (int i = nprocess - 1; i >= 0; i--){

                    NSString * processID = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d", process[i].kp_proc.p_pid];
                    NSString * processName = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%s", process[i].kp_proc.p_comm];

                    NSDictionary * dict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjects:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:processID, processName, nil]
                                                                        forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"ProcessID", @"ProcessName", nil]];
                    [processID release];
                    [processName release];
                    [array addObject:dict];
                    [dict release];
                }

                free(process);
                return [array autorelease];
            }
        }
    }

    return nil;
}

But I can't make it run on the iPhone. Xcode doesn't know these symbols:
CTL_KERN, KERN_PROC, KERN_PROC_ALL
So of course I must import a header file or library. Does anyone know where these belong to, and how the headers must be imported to make this work?

A: Works like a charm:
#import <sys/sysctl.h>

A: sysctl is no longer accessible to sandboxed iOS 9 apps.
From WWDC 2015 session 703 Privacy and Your App:

In iOS 9, the sandbox now prevents a process from accessing the
  kern.proc, kern.procargs, and kern.procargs2 values for other
  processes

and

iOS apps are not permitted to see what other apps are running

So even if you find a way, you are likely to get rejected from the App Store.

Microsoft makes another run at bringing in new enterprise-grade integration business via its consulting force. Will it work this go-round?
Watching partners watch Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS) reminds me of those courtly 18th-century dances that were long on decorum, bowing and smiling, but short on personal contact. These dances were more about being seen together in polite company than expressing intimacy or even amity.
MCS was begun around the dawn of Microsoft's enterprise dreams, when Windows NT entered the scene and Microsoft needed engineers in the field to keep up with the Novell Certified Systems Engineers, who briefly held the hottest ticket around. Perhaps because of the geeks who ran the company, however, Microsoft never thought much beyond computers to how the business world would use them. The computer was its own answer.
That led to a company that was, and still is, remarkably dependent on its partners to open commercial doors, largely because Microsoft took so long to develop a field sales force that could have a business -- rather than a computer-discussion.
With Windows OEM relationships generating vast gobs of cash, hiring a bunch of salespeople and technical consultants just didn't sound as profitable as developing more and better products. Although Microsoft's leadership recognized in the late 1990s that the computer was not always the answer, and that business customers had not only networks to run, but payrolls, marketing campaigns, factories and supply lines as well, the company was late to the idea of developing a huge consulting force that would become a profit center, a la IBM Global Services (IGS).
Since 2000, Microsoft has danced two steps forward and two steps back with regard to its consulting force. The big question: Would MCS become a prime contractor, running major integration projects directly? The answer: Yes, in 2001; followed by a quick no in 2002 when partners rebelled at the idea that Microsoft partners would be competing against Microsoft for big consulting jobs. Yes again, when it later hired an IGS heavyweight, Mike Sinneck -- and no, when he left less than two years later.
At last summer's Worldwide Partner Conference, Microsoft introduced some new steps into the dance.
Partner satisfaction is now part of Corporate Vice President of Worldwide Services Maria Martinez's scorecard. This may not sound like a big deal, but Microsoft COO Kevin Turner is big on scorecards. Every senior Microsoft executive has one. Every product group, every team of any size has one. Scorecards have some common metrics, so one person's results can be rolled up to a higher-level executive's scorecard. Martinez runs Microsoft Services, which includes MCS. So when her marks come in, they roll up to her boss's scorecard. Her boss is Kevin Turner. For the first time, Turner may actually know how happy -- or unhappy -- the 2,000 or so partners who work with MCS are.
MCS architects will now be sent into the field to help Microsoft account teams. The brains from Redmond may add extraordinary technical punch to the sales effort and teach partners a lot. Or they may just be duds in front of customers. But at least they won't be competing with partners while they're at it.
Service-line offerings will package up consulting services. You haven't heard much about the new service lines because they were mostly vaporware at the partner conference. On the other hand, if you were around for the "solution offerings" or "accelerators" of yesteryear, you'll understand service-line offerings. (In fact, one of the first solution offerings out is called the Enterprise Search Decision Accelerator.) Service-line offerings are supposed to pick the brains of Microsoft consultants and package all that smartness into a proof-of-concept or demo for a customer. Microsoft says it will for sure, absolutely, no-two-ways-about-it put these babies in the hands of partners -- as soon as it finishes them and finds partners who meet its standards for delivering them.
Service-line offerings could be a great boon to partners by transferring a lot of hard-won consulting knowledge from MCS. Or they could harm partners by commoditizing some bleeding-edge consulting jobs. While it's hard to say how these changes will pan out in the long run, overall, I'd call them positive steps for partners.

Q: Calculate fontsize I'm trying to adequate the FontSize of my text into a width-height specific context. For instance, if I got a image (512x512 pixels) and I got for instance 140 characters. What would be the ideal FontSize?
In the above case, a 50 pixels Fontsize seems to be ok but what happened if there's a lot more text? the text will not fit into the picture so it needs reduction. I've been trying to calculate this on my own without success.
What I've tried is this:
get total pixels, with a picture 512x512 = 262144 and divide into the length of the text. But that gives a big number. Even if I divided that number by 4 (thinking about a box-pixel-model for the font).
Do you have any solutions for this?
PS. I've been using truetype (if this is somehow useful)
I've been using python for this purpose, and PIL for image manipulation.
Thank you in advance.

A: It's pretty tricky to do analytically.
One way is trial and error. Choose a large font size and render the layout to see whether it fits
Use bisection algorithm to converge on the largest font that fits

WRITTEN BY: Phil Lord & Chris Miller
DIRECTED BY: Mike Mitchell
STARRING: Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Stephanie Beatriz, Tiffany Hadish, Maya Rudolph
2019, PG; 106 minutes.
(Bob has a video review of the movie, and the other four in the series here)
Sing with me! Everything is awesome! [repeat ad nasueum]. Like just about everyone else, I as reticent at the announcement of The Lego Movie. While there had been direct-to-video films based around the Danish building-blocks, a feature could have easily been a cynical corporate-cash grab. While the company is noted a "not-evil" corporation, it was an easy reaction to think "this will be a 100 minute toy-commercial." To everyone's surprise The LEGO Movie was a hilarious, heart-felt, clever love-letter to 50 years of the toys (and the Intellectual Properties they've licensed) with an unexpected story of creativity vs following-the-instructions and adult/child-hood with the live action story of Dad (Will Ferrell, also voicing the villainous Lord Business) and son Finn (Jadon Sand). Both wanting me to buy their toys, but also subverting corporate culture, the film was able to be best of both worlds. Critically and commercially a hit, two movies followed: the possibly best Batman movie The LEGO Batman Movie and the Bob Didn't See It LEGO Ninjago Movie (I'll be watching it soon though).
It's five years later, and now we have a direct sequel to the original (Batman movie gets a few mentions, not sure if anything relates to Ninjago). Everything is not as awesome, but it comes damned close. Replicating a surprise success and still being fresh and creative on it's own is a hard build. There are many pieces to put together, and too many single pieces lost into the carpet for your foot to find can cause issues. Rest assured, the sequel is just as funny, taking the story in a slightly different directions and continuing have a heart-based story behind the fun action. Add in a few songs, and new characters voiced by Stephanie Beatriz (Rosa from Brooklyn 99) and Tiffany Hadish (a bunch of movies from last year no one saw) and a new setting of space (cue Benny's enthusiasm) and we have a well-built movie.
Storywise, the sequel first picks up from the Duplo-invasion of the original film. As the leads from the original are manifestations of story from Finn (returning Jadon Sand), the Duplos are his younger sister Bianca. As the three year old, she and her Legos wont' play by the rules and actively destroy anything bright and colorful. Thus, jumping five years later, Bricksville is a Mad Max-inspired wasteland. Emmet (Chris Pratt) continues to be just as cheery and naive as the rest of the world "grows up" around him. Soon, alien General Mayhem (Beatriz) arrive and steal away WildSyle (Elizabeth Banks) and the four other returning specials Batman (Will Arnett), Unikitty (Alison Brie), Benny The Space-Man (Charlie Day), and Metalbeard (Nick Offerman; Morgan Freeman doesn't come back) to a space world. Thus, Emmett must take it on himself to rescue them. He meets up with Rex Dangervest, every teenage boys version of the Coolest Guy Ever, complete with a spaceship filled with velociraptors (their subtitles is a great running gag) and Pratt putting on a Kurt Russell voice. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang works to free themselves from Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi (Hadish). She's totally not evil – just listen to her great song about it! Her introduction song and the one where she negs Batman into marrying her are two other highlights.
There is a lot more going on story-wise than the generally straight forward first film, leading a slightly disjointed plotting. It's not too distracting as is needed for the story telling. Where the is an issue is the outside story. The father/son story of the original was a huge third act surprise, bringing a realness and a message-that-hits-home. Now that the cards are revealed, the filmmakers – returning writers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, this time during directing over to Mike Mitchell (director of Trolls, Shrek Forever After and the tragically forgotten Sky High) – are forced to keep this aspect and lace it through the film earlier, each time sliding the viewer a little out of the animated story. The story movies from father/son to brother/sister; reflecting the boy growing older and thus looking at "Darker" aspects of the toys throught he Mad Max like Bricksburgh and the Rex character. Many of us can relate to that story, and its mostly well done but it does lead to some issues. While the last one was clearly the son telling the story, this story has to be on both brother and sister causing it to be a bit muddled for the viewer if thinking of the real world version of it. Especially when a time-travel aspect is brought in. I see its' purpose but it doesn't add up.
The animation, one of the many strong points five years, is smoother and more detailed as well as one would expect with a few years of advancement, with a standout in the smooth continual transitions of the Queen. While it steers away from the sometimes-stop-motion look to parts, the design is incredible. There are some huge sets here, but with such minute detail it's astounding. There is no skimping or shortcuts. We are rewarded with a visual treat in all aspects. The voice acting is just as strong, with Beatiz and Hadish making wonderful additions. The songs are just as catchy and earwomy as "Everything Is Awesome" and use that tune to best effect as well.
Overall, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is often as clever and fun as the original – I laughed just as hard at the jokes; rarely are they easy repetitions of the original and often they are well-written-call-backs though, loved the new characters and their songs, and had a fantastic couple of hours at the movies despite the few flaws. Phil Lord and Chris Miller continue to create entertainment that is reflexive of the genres and expectations, continually creative both written and visual, and refusing to pander to children – creating family films that are just as enjoyable to those of us without kids. Clone High, the Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs movies, the Jump Street films (those aren't family films but eh), Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and now multiple LEGO Movies, unless you're LucasFilm, they can't do wrong.
I give THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART an A-.

Looking back at eight years of the National Alcohol Programme
National Alcohol Programme NPA 2008–2016. Alcohol is a part of our culture – a glass of red wine with dinner, a little champagne as a toast, or a beer in the evening. However, alcohol is not a normal consumer product and one needs to learn how to deal with it. Although most people know how to drink responsibly, about one in five people drink too much, too often or at the wrong time. About 50% of all alcohol is drunk by 11 percent of the population. Excessive alcohol consumption is one of the major risk factors for chronic diseases. It has harmful consequences for society and increases the rate of traffic accidents. The annual costs for the Swiss population are about CHF 4.2 billion*. In order to address this problem, the National Alcohol Programme (NPA) was established in 2008, with the slogan: "If you drink alcoholic beverages, you do so without harming yourself or others." more
The Swiss drug policy – a pioneer model
Packages of drug measures. Switzerland's four-pillar drug policy is still a commendable example for many countries in their approach to drug problems. These are some of the impressive achievements over the last twenty years: open drug scenes have disappeared, while drug-related deaths, the HIV infection rate and drug-related crime have all decreased and public safety has improved. The drug problem has not been solved, but Switzerland has found a pragmatic, healthoriented and humane approach to the drug problem. The third package of drug measures expired at the end of 2016. As part of the National Addiction Strategy, which includes all types of addiction, the four-pillar drug policy will be developed further into the four-pillar addiction policy. more
Looking back, looking ahead: The National Programme on Diet and Physical Activity
National Programme on Diet and Physical Activity (NPDPA 2008–2016). Enjoying life has a lot to do with nutrition and physical activity, because people who eat a balanced diet and get plenty of physical activity are providing a solid basis for their health, and feel good at the same time. The NPDPA was aimed at encouraging the Swiss population to live a healthy and more enjoyable lifestyle, and at providing conditions that would make this possible. A great deal has been achieved, and useful approaches will be continued and developed further with the new strategy on non-communicable diseases (NCDs). more
Making prevention an integral part of healthcare
Prevention in healthcare. In its Health2020 strategy, the Swiss Federal Council made the development and implementation of a strategy non-communicable diseases a priority in its healthcare policy. Strategic objectives and associated measures were drawn up, together with the addiction strategy and the mental health programme, and approved in late 2016 by the Federal Council and the National Health Policy Dialogue. Prevention and control of non-communicable diseases can be further improved thanks to these measures. One of the main issues underlying the NCD strategy is to improve integration of prevention into healthcare, in order to curb the increasing incidence of chronic diseases as well as further cost increases. But how can this be done? What has been done so far to improve it? And is it possible to estimate the future benefits? more
Editorial Eva Bruhin. The WHO estimates that more than 50 % of chronic diseases could be prevented (or at least delayed) by preventive measures. About 2 million people are affected in Switzerland. The direct healthcare costs of these diseases amounted to 51.7 billion Swiss francs in 2011, or 80 % of total healthcare expenditure – and these costs are rising. more
"Interprofessional collaboration requires that responsibilities are clarified."
Interprofessional collaboration. Interprofessional collaboration will play an increasingly important role in healthcare and prevention. Claudia Galli, President of the Swiss Federation of Professional Healthcare Organisations (SVBG), has agreed to outline the views of the healthcare professions in her responses to our questions. more
"Girasole" pilot project
Girasole. In October 2016, the first patients were enrolled in the canton of Ticino's "Girasole" pilot project. The aim of this two-year project, supported by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), is to reduce risk factors for non-communicable diseases in adult patients consulting their General Pracitioner (GP). Here, physical activity is defined as a key element, and motivational interviewing is central to the intervention. The project is being conducted under the new National Strategy for the Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD Strategy), adopted by the Federal Council in April 2016. more
"Girasole"pilot project
Infograph. Girasole (sunflower) is a pilot project jointly developed by the Canton of Ticino and the FOPH. The main aim of this project is to promote behavioural change in patients who are at increased risk for non-communicable diseases (due to a non-balanced diet, smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, or lack of exercise). Particular emphasis is placed on the promotion of physical activity. General practitioners employ the two interventional techniques of motivational interviewing and shared decision-making, permitting higher-quality interaction with patients. With the aid of these techniques, doctors motivate, support and encourage their patients to adopt a more healthy lifestyle, provided that the latter wish to achieve behavioural change of this kind. At the same time, patients knowledge and health literacy is enhanced. more
Editorial Andrea Arz de Falco. Ever more people are suffering from non-communicable diseases (NCD) such as cancer or diabetes. These conditions are a heavy burden not only on the patients and their families but also on our healthcare system. more
People should be able to enjoy the best possible health in every phase of their lives
Life-course approach. The life-course approach is attracting growing interest among health professionals. Comprehensive overviews such as the UN's "Agenda 2030" Strategy on Sustainable Development, the WHO European Region's "Health 2020" framework or the Swiss government's health policy strategy of the same name are geared in part to the life-course approach. Moreover, the WHO European Region hosted a ministerial conference on the topic of the life-course approach last autumn. What is behind this approach and what makes it so interesting for prevention experts? more

Phonetic Hero replied to Neifion's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Love the source choice Personally I've never been a big fan of the "double build" approach to a track's introduction, the first build always ends up feeling superfluous to me. If it serves a purpose for your creative vision though, leave it in! The rest of the arrangement sounds great! I love the build to the climax with the choir, and the more urgent feeling of the chord stabs at 1:25. This template sounds like a winner to me.

WARGROOVE and its soundtrack out now!
Phonetic Hero replied to Phonetic Hero's topic in Community
@AngelCityOutlaw Thanks man! Just to quickly clarify, there aren't much of any RPG elements in Wargroove - it's much more like Advance Wars in that units don't gain experience or level up, and instead you build units each turn and have to understand which units are effective against each other. Victory comes from toppling an opponents HQ or taking out their commander. Wargroove also has a really good critical hit mechanic that relies entirely on unit positioning rather than chance (with conditions being different for each type of unit), so while it's pretty easy to pick up, the strategy gets absolutely wild. It was really fun watching the beta testers go at it with each other and develop new strategies that I never would've thought of.

I had the pleasure of writing the music for Chucklefish's Wargroove, a spiritual successor to old-school tactical games like Advance Wars: Being a huge fan of tactical games myself, this was a bit of a dream gig and I'm extremely proud of how the tunes turned out. Wargroove is available on Steam, Humble, Switch, and Xbox One/Windows 10 (w/ Xbox Play Anywhere). The soundtrack is available on my bandcamp and on Steam as DLC (can also be bundled with the game for 10% off!). It'll also be available on all major streaming platforms by the 15th. Hope you love both the game and the soundtrack!

I'm not saying there won't be people who don't like everything you do, because of course there will. I'm saying that the people who don't care for your original work but DO like your remixes weren't going to be drawn to your original work anyway, so it's not a "loss" in terms of your audience. On the flip side, there are people who WILL like both who will have only heard of you because of your remixes. Being sour about someone liking one thing you do and not everything you do is stupid and a waste of energy imo
I write for games full time, but I still see a lot to be gained from arranging. So yes! I still remix when I have the time. I'll try to be concise for a change: You get to make a piece of music you enjoy listening to (and perhaps learn what exactly it is you enjoy in a piece of music) You get to study that piece's structure, harmony, etc. and apply what you learn to your own originals (though I find straight transcription to be even more useful for learning) You get to practice strengthening your weak points without the pressure of writing an amazing original melody/chord progression/bassline/drum groove/whatever, since it's already done You get to learn how to reuse pieces of a track to improve your arrangement game (mostly for soundtracks or theme-related albums, but it's been extremely useful for me in a work setting) I think in terms of potential for musical growth, there's a LOT to be said about arranging, and I think the inspiration and forward momentum someone can get from an existing tune/game they love is also an important part of the remixing game. For what it's worth, I don't find the "is it mine?" debate to be very useful. Something I consider MUCH more important when I make a remix (or any piece of music) is "do I like listening to it?" EDIT: I also think looking at building an audience in terms of remixing vs. originals is silly. Those who will be interested in your originals will be interested regardless, and those who won't, won't - it's not a matter of "splitting your audience". If a remix was what got the ears there to listen to your other music in the first place, it can only help
2. ready for review Bloody Tears for a Dancing Monster
Phonetic Hero replied to NyxTheShield's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Hey man I really like the arrangement for the most part, but I think dropping it down to just the piano at 0:38 breaks the flow in such a short track. I think keeping the energy a bit more during that section would help the track's progression a lot, and transitioning to Monster Dance right out of Bloody Tears' arpeggiated intro section is a strong structural choice. I also think the piano isn't carrying the track as a lead instrument. It sounds pretty dry and fake, and it's mixed pretty far into the background. The drums also hit me as too loud and compressed. The cymbals are pumping on a lot of their impacts and they get pretty sizzly at times - heavy compression can be pretty unflattering to cymbal hits. I really like the timbre of the snare and kick though (with maybe a tad more low end on the latter) and the funky writing works great, I'd just pull the drums down a bit as a whole. No qualms with the guitar/bass - once the rest of the balance is touched up and the weak lead instrument addressed, I think this'll be a sweet track. Hope that's helpful!

How Significant Is Forum Feedback In Improvement?
Fair enough, my counter-point would be that it's a teacher's job to be hard on you and expect more out of you though. When people don't (appear to) have any motive other than the commentary itself and providing their opinion, it can be a real kick in the ass to hear someone doesn't like something. And whether or not the commenter actually knows what they're talking about vs. just trying to puff themselves up, if it pushes you to improve, the effect is the same (at least in terms of general advice/impressions - if someone's telling you to blow up the low mids on all your instruments or something like that, that's another story). Using myself as an example again, I used to think of myself as a great composer, even after I found out exactly how bad of a producer I was. But when you hear "wandering melody" and "stagnant harmony" (or whatever variation of that, if the feedback was coming from someone who didn't have the musical vocabulary to describe it as such) over and over from people on forums or non-musician friends or comments from complete strangers on music hosting sites, it eventually sunk in that "oh wait a second, maybe I'm actually not nearly as good as I think I am". That was what it took for me, and it made much more of an impact than it did in situations where someone whose outward purpose in critiquing me was to help me learn. I guess some additional context is also necessary to clarify my point - I've never been a good student until I "decide" I want to learn more about something, and I know I'm not the only one. Again, that's what it took for me, and I have to wager there are others who operate the same way. As a bonus, I came to find out eventually that a lot of those people giving me that feedback actually WERE being hyper-critical and couldn't follow their own advice. But the result was the same - I put my nose to the grindstone to learn how to better structure a tune, how to write stronger melodies, how to mix better, whatever the criticism might've been. I still learned as a result of the feedback, regardless of where it came from or how much the person giving the critique actually knew themselves. Hopefully I didn't botch the point I'm trying to make in so many words, but basically: feedback from different sources can have drastically different effects, and people will respond to the effect it has on them accordingly.
I think another deeply valuable aspect of public feedback that hasn't really been touched on is that you might find out you're not as good as you think you are. Sometimes people on a forum are blunt and brutally honest, and as far as I'm concerned, that exposure is extremely important. Because hey, that's the way the world is, and if you really want to improve then you have to learn to be brutally honest with yourself. Sometimes, that's a practice that begins externally. When I was 19 and first starting out, I thought I was amazing. After having my ass broken repeatedly, learning just how much there was to know and breaking through that Dunning-Kruger wall, I was able to be MUCH more objective and honest about where I actually was, what my weaknesses were, and what to do in order to address them (or who to ask if I didn't know). If you already think you're the best, you don't have much incentive to improve, and without people giving me their honest impressions (musically experienced or not) I doubt I'd be half the musician I am today. Often it takes time to sink in, and sometimes people can be very averse to honest critique (I certainly was for a good while), but I find it to be another valuable part of the process. In this regard, I think feedback from strangers is much more potent than that of a mentor or teacher - finding out what your peers or the general public thinks about your art can be a powerful agent for introspection.
I'll concede that feedback isn't technically necessary in a mentorship (which is extremely strange to read), but I still think you're reeeaaally glossing over the importance of feedback. A "mentorship" in which the mentor isn't observing the mentee's work and giving feedback more fits the description of a generalized teaching course, where a teacher/professor is going down a list and throwing out advice or covering topics point by point, regardless of whether or not it's pertinent to the student. At least in my opinion/experience, this isn't the most effective way to help someone learn. Back on topic (and a slight edit for clarity): the feedback process, to me, is about looking at where someone needs to improve and providing targeted advice to help them learn how to do it. The source of advice doesn't matter imo - whether it's a forum rando or someone you look up to, you're the ultimate arbitrator of which pieces you decide to listen to and which you don't. Yes, personal drive/ambition is obviously important to anyone's progress as an artist, but why undercut feedback (even "forum feedback") as a valuable part of the improvement process?
...how the fuck is a mentorship going to work without feedback? Lol A mentor giving advice without knowing what the mentee needs sounds like an extremely ineffectual relationship
I think it's very important when someone's starting out. I had no idea what questions I needed to be asking back when I first started, and having people to point out flaws I wasn't even aware of and explain how to improve them is, in my opinion, absolutely instrumental to anyone's development (whether I wanted to hear it or not at the time ). Whether someone gets the feedback from a forum, or friends/peers with more experience, or teachers/mentors, I think most people need feedback from those with more experience up to a point. I know I did. Once you're familiar with the general concepts of music composition and production (and know where to look to further your knowledge), improvement becomes much easier to pursue on your own. But it's hard to know what questions you should be asking when you don't know what you need to know, ya know?

I think they're only a few days in - Epic Taiko Ensemble was directly before Rhythmic Aura, so there should be 5 more sales on the way. Definitely keep your eye out, 8Dio makes great stuff EDIT: Also going to include my personal favorite library for lead strings (does both agile and flowing lines very, very well), also from 8Dio. An absolute steal at $44 - https://8dio.com/instrument/grandiose-violins-bundle/


This 24-strand cover line is a true 1/2" (12.7 mm) and is the lightest premium climbing line of its size available. Like its counterpart Velocity (but a little larger for easy handling) - Vortex has an excellent knot-holding ability, works well with hardware, and is great for foot locking. Compared to ropes of similar size, Vortex has 25–30% lower elongation when used at the same load.

The best of traditional Indian food
camera_alt Gallery Updated 11 December 2014
Keith Drew
Naan bread
Another simple yet essential part of an Indian meal, in the north at least, naan is a leavened flatbread that is kneaded with yoghurt and baked on the sides of a deep clay over – the tandoor that lends its name to the tandoori cuisine of North India. Thick and chewy, it is the perfect accompaniment for rich meaty dishes. Purists prefer it plain, though you can also bake it with garlic or with coconut and almonds (peshwari).
Indian sweets can be very sweet indeed, and only the sweetest of tooths could work their way through a box of kaju barfi. Barfi is a kind of fudge made from milk that has been boiled down and condensed, and kaju barfi are creamy white chunks of temptation, topped with silver leaf (which you eat) for good measure.
Dosas are a South Indian staple, and you won't travel far in Kerala or Karnataka before coming across one of these moreish crispy pancakes. Made from fermented rice batter, they come in a variety of forms, the most common of which is the masala dosa, where the pancake is stuffed with a spicy potato curry.
So simple and yet so significant, dhal is invariably served – in one form or another – with every Indian meal. These versatile curried lentils can appear alongside a main as anything from a soupy sambar, spiked with asafoetida and tamarind, to a tarka dhal, cooked with a masala of fried garlic, onions and spices.
Like many of India's most popular dishes, biriyani was brought to the Subcontinent by Muslim invaders from Central Asia and Persia. It's a classically rich North Indian dish that marries fragrant rice, baked with saffron or turmeric and whole spices, with chunks of moist marinated meat (and often a hard-boiled egg). Pungent and hearty, and especially appetising when sealed with a crusted pastry 'lid' that's cracked open at the table.
Bhajis
Even if you never eat Indian food, you'll no doubt have tried a bhaji at some point. Bhaji is just the Indian name given for a vegetable dish, whether that be a side of aubergine (brinjal bhaji) or potato (aloo) or chopped onions mixed in batter with flour and spices and then deep-fried – the onion bhaji, the ubiquitous street snack that has become a staple starter in curry houses across the UK.

Thali
The beauty of a thali is its variety – and the fact that ordering one in most traditional restaurants is essentially a licence to eat as much as you want. Named for the metal tray on which it is served, a thali usually consists of an island of rice surrounded by a selection of vegetarian curries, chutneys and pickles, accompanied in the south by puris and a spicy soup known as rasam.
Chawalki kheer
This delicate North Indian rice dish is a favourite desert and a popular go-to for adding a touch of sweetness to festive occasions. Basmati rice, milk and nuts form the base; for extra flavour, saffron is added, along with cardamom and, when the kheer has thickened sufficiently, raisins. It's hard to beat a comforting bowl of hot chawalkikheer, though the dish can also be served cold.

Golgappa
In the wide-ranging world of Indian street food, golgappa scores highly for its novelty value. Made from plain flour or semolina and fried until golden, these crispy balls (golgappa means "crisp sphere") are traditionally filled with spiced potatoes and/or chickpeas and dipped into a bowl of water peppered with cumin, coriander and other spices. Pop it into your mouth in whole go and enjoy the hit from the spiced water, the kick from the filling and the crispiness of the gappa itself.
Goan fish-head curry
Nothing invokes memories of Goa – the soft sands, the swaying palm trees, the little shack restaurants on the beaches' edge – quite as much as fish-head curry. The fish, usually a pomfret, a flat fish, though the exact type can vary, is marinated in onions, coconut, garlic and chilli and then cooked up into a gloriously rich soup that is both hot and sour and very, very tasty.

Something of an unsung hero in the world of accompaniments, a good raita will provide the perfect balance to a meal, its combination of curd and coriander helping cut through the heat of spicier dishes. Boondi raita, where crunchy balls of fried gram flour are added just before serving, is almost a meal in itself, and includes chat masala, for a touch of tanginess.
The doughnut-shaped vada is a classic example of a snack that shouldn't work but does. On paper, a spicy fritter that is made out of lentils and deep fried sounds like something that shouldn't get any further than that. But in reality it's a very moreish little South Indian snack, and you can quite easily chomp your way through a plateful. There are numerous variations on the theme: a vada pao (or vada pav), for instance, is a vada served in a bun with chutney.
The phrase "naughty but nice" might well have been invented for gulab jamun: spongy dough balls deep fried in ghee and served in syrup. The name is derived from the Hindi word for "rose" (gulab, as the syrup is scented with rose water) and a type of berry that grows in India, a reference to the colour and size of the dough balls. Unbelievably sweet, incredibly cloying – the syrup works right through the dough – but ridiculously addictive.
A common appetizer in North India, seekh kebabs are made of spiced minced lamb (sometimes beef) that is pressed onto a skewer and then grilled, though traditionally they were cooked in the tandoor. They are delicious with a squeeze of lemon and a mint chutney. As with other kebabs, they can also be served with sauces in a griddle-fried flatbread, known as a kathi roll, a street food that originated in Kolkata.
Rogan josh
A classic Mughlai dish, rogan josh is traditionally part of Kashmiri cuisine but has spread across North India. Succulent pieces of braised lamb cooked in numerous spices, it is a medium-hot curry, the name referring either to the way it's cooked (from the Persian for "hot oil") or its appearance ("rogan" meaning "red", a reference to the dried Kashmiri chillies that lend the dish its deep rich colour.
The versatile paratha, a lightly fried bread, can be stuffed with anything from fenugreek leaves to minced meat, or just served plain with a touch of jam at breakfast. But there's something about a paneer paratha that sets it apart, the contrast between the crisp exterior and the soft cheese inside, blended with salt, chilli powder and coriander leaves. Eat it immediately, with a melting knob of butter, or add some yogurt or pickle.
Mishti doi
Mishtidoi originates from Bengal but has become a popular dessert throughout India. It is essentially thickened milk mixed with jaggery or sugar, some of which is caramelized, but the result is a deliciously balanced pudding, with sweetness and tang jostling for position on your tastebuds. The yoghurt is usually served in earthen pots, which make it even thicker and creamier.

A rich dessert that originates from the state of Karnataka in South India, Mysore pak is made using gram flour, ghee (clarified butter) and sugar. Legend has it that it was dreamt up by a chef at the Mysore Palace, a man who clearly didn't do savoury – "pak", rather unsurprisingly, derives from the Sanskrit for "sweet". It is popular festival treat, particularly during Diwali.
Purists will argue that chicken tikka masala is not, technically, an Indian dish at all, having been created for UK domestic diners in the 1970s, who wanted some "gravy" with their dry tikka dish. But there's no denying the dish's impact, and having famously been voted the UK's most popular meal, it must be doing something right. A tasty introduction to Indian cuisine for the cautious, tikka masala combines the tandoor clay oven with pan-frying, using subtle spices in a rich, creamy sauce.

Pentagon Hit With Massive Class-Action Lawsuit Over Vaccine Mandates
Service members from all five branches of the U.S. military, federal employees, and federal civilian contractors have joined in a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Defense over its COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
The 24 plaintiffs "face a deadline under the Federal COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate to receive a COVID-19 vaccine that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs, and have been refused any religious exemption or accommodation," according to Liberty Counsel, the Christian legal firm that filed the lawsuit.
The lawsuit (pdf), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, lists President Joe Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as defendants.
The plaintiffs are asking the court to issue a temporary restraining order (pdf) to prevent the COVID-19 vaccine mandates from taking effect, and ultimately issue an injunction to prevent the Pentagon from enforcing the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Biden on Sept. 9 issued an executive order requiring almost all federal employees to get a COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of employment. Regular testing isn't an option. Civilian federal employees and contractors have until Nov. 22 to be fully vaccinated.
Austin issued a memorandum on Aug. 24 saying that all military service members must receive a COVID-19 vaccine, after which all the branches of the military announced various deadlines for its troops to be fully vaccinated, regardless of whether they had previously survived a bout of COVID-19, and threatening suspensions or other disciplinary actions if service members don't have a pending exemption request or fail to comply.

Street Fighter 5 is a very unforgiving game as just one slip up or unfortunate interaction can be all it takes to send you down the path being KO'd. All of us are inevitably going to find ourselves on said path from time to time, but minimizing these experiences will very quickly and obviously lead to more wins.
Enter Tempo|Alex Myers and one of his latest videos wherein he teaches the finer points of the simple, yet very important, art of walking and blocking.
After you learn the basics of this lesson, you'll immediately find that you're getting tagged by normals with less frequency. Once this happens you can then begin to move on to the second part of the process, which involves observing your opponents' neutral habits with intent.
A strong walk and block game unlocks the potential for other aspects of your game to grow. Once you're relatively comfortable being within your foe's attack ranges, you'll be able to take note of the when, where and what of their attack patterns.
If you're able to download this information, you'll be next to unbeatable unless your opponent makes a quick change in their approach. Obviously, many opponents will not be able to do this in just a round or two, hence why this tech is so powerful.
This idea applies across most fighting games, though the particulars of footsies and frame data certainly alter the importance and gravity of such concepts as walking and blocking from title to title.

Reports: Pakistan Cricket Board reconsidering Qatar as tournament venue
By Peter Kovessy
Photo for illustrative purposes only.
A high-profile cricket tournament that was scheduled to be held in Qatar next year may be headed for the UAE after all, according to multiple reports.
Organizers announced less than a month ago that the first edition of the Pakistan Twenty20 cricket Super League (PSL) would be held at Asian Town (previously known as West End Park) in the Industrial Area.
Cricket at Asian Town
The league was originally going to be hosted by the UAE, but was moved to Qatar after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) found that all the venues were already booked for the February 2016 slot for the Masters Champions League, a tournament for retired cricketers, media reports said last month.
Pakistan has played all of its international matches in the UAE since 2009, when gunmen in Lahore fired upon a bus carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team.
Now, however, ESPN cricinfo reports that the PCB said it was in talks with the Emirates Cricket Board over the possibility of hosting the tournament in the UAE after all.
Other media, such as The Indian Express, cited anonymous sources as saying an agreement has been in reached in principle between the Pakistan and UAE cricket associations to share venues in Dubai and Sharjah with the planned Masters Cricket League.
'No official news'
The report added that holding the tournament in Qatar was still under consideration.
An official from Qatar Cricket Association told Doha News that they had not been notified of any changes.
"There are lots of rumors going on," said Gul Khan, the association's head of events and tournaments. "Everybody is talking … but there is no official news," he added.
The choice of Qatar as tournament host was criticized by some commentators who argued that the UAE was more prepared to host the Pakistan Super League.
Relying on a sole stadium to hold all the matches and practices would present logistical headaches, some said, adding that the UAE would be a more financially lucrative host country that could accommodate larger crowds.
Even if the T20 league was moved to the UAE, Khan said he was confident that Qatar would be able to secure another high-caliber tournament in the near future:
"We have big grounds. We have good support from the government. We have everything. We want cricket here in Qatar … Very soon, you will see a big tournament here. We'll prove to the world that we can do it," he said.
PCB officials were not immediately available to comment this afternoon.
Hosting ambitions
T20 cricket is a short form of the game, where two teams have a single innings each up to a maximum of 20 overs. With the average match lasting up to three hours rather than over several days as in Test cricket, it is a faster-paced game developed to attract more spectators to grounds and to boost TV viewership.
The PSL was expected to bring many big-name players and international sponsors to Qatar, where matches would have been played at the Asian Town international cricket stadium. The facility was expected to undergo modifications to make it suitable.
The Asian Town ground, which was opened in 2013 and can hold approximately 13,000 spectators, hosted two smaller T20 tournaments for Qatar-based clubs last summer.
Meanwhile, local officials continue to work on positioning Qatar as a global sports hub. The country is hosting several major international tournaments ahead of the 2022 World Cup.
Some 89 local, regional and international sporting events were scheduled to take place in Qatar between April 2015 and March 2016 alone, according to the Qatar Olympic Committee.
That includes next month's AIBA World Boxing Championship for Men, which is expected to take place at Al Sadd Sports Club from Oct. 5 to 15 – the first time the tournament is coming to the region.

Ford Ramps Up Production With Sollers
By The Moscow Times
U.S. carmaker Ford unveiled plans to nearly triple its production capacity in Russia alongside local partner Sollers, increasing its foothold in a market it hopes to double by the middle of the decade.
The company, which signed a letter of intent to team up with Sollers in February, signed the 50-50 joint venture in the company of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Wednesday.
The deal will see Ford's Russian operation combine with Sollers to produce 350,000 vehicles a year by around 2014 — enough to take advantage of a government incentive waiving import tariffs on components.
The plans include adding the Ford Transit van to its Russian production portfolio, the first in a line of new products to be rolled out in coming months.
"This deal will see Ford become part of the fabric of Russia and help with the manufacturing policy in Russia," Ford's Europe CEO, Stephen Odell, told reporters after the signing.
Ford is one of several foreign carmakers looking to sign partnerships in Russia to take advantage of state-sponsored incentives, part of the government's plan to strengthen its manufacturing base ahead of any future crisis.
Renault owns 25 percent of Lada-maker AvtoVAZ, while Volkswagen and General Motors have both done deals with GAZ Group.
Ford today has the capacity to produce 125,000 vehicles a year from its single plant outside St. Petersburg.
It built about 80,000 Ford Focuses and Mondeos there last year, selling just over 90,000, while Sollers, the second-biggest Russian producer behind AvtoVAZ, sold 98,000 cars and light commercial vehicles in 2010.
Car sales are forecast to total 2.35 million in 2011, according to the Association of European Businesses, up from 1.97 million last year.
Ford's Odell said he hoped the market would double from last year's total by the mid-point of the decade, a forecast more bullish than most, and said the Sollers deal would help Ford boost market share at the same time.
"Right now the forecast for mid-decade is 4 million. At that point you can expect a very high utilization of that capacity [350,000 a year]," he said.
"But we have lived through a recession and we need to be flexible in our approach to demand," he added.
He said Ford's historical market share in Russia has been 7 percent to 10 percent, a position likely to improve with increased capacity.
