My 6-Year-Old Is A Teenager

Some days I wish we had a reality t.v. show recording at our house so that you guys could get your entertainment from our shenanigans.  We had moody teenager today – all day.  And guys, it was brutal!  Slammed doors, wailing over super minor issues, and displays of selfishness that would make a real teenager stop staring at their phone and watch, in awe of what he accomplished.

That’s right, he.  Not my normally moody, super-emotional middle girl child, nope.  My oldest.  My son.

We normally have the defiance, the attitude, and the sass, but the emotional upheaval today was beyond normal.  In fact, Mr. Genius asked me on one of my forays into the office “What’s wrong with him today?”  Because something was wrong, obviously!  The best I can figure is that he got a dose of artificial food dye when we ate out yesterday at a place we rarely visit.  Sneaky food dye routinely turns our world upside down, but this was different than the usual.

Mr. Genius and I joke about this, but we’re seriously quaking in our shoes over the looming teenage years.  If things are THIS bad now, I don’t even want to think about this plus raging hormones.  It will be bad.  It will be hell.  It will strip any remaining hair color from my hair and cause massive clumps of it to fall out.

Like everything else in our lives, it’s almost impossible to fully share the depth of our reality.  I can type the words the Engineer says, but text leaves out the disdain dripping from the words like caustic acid.  I can’t fully communicate the effect of the eye-roll, the door slam, or the cutting tone of voice.  All I can say is picture this pint-sized teenager putting on a very real, very authentic dramatic show.

This is the child, who when told (again) to clean up the toys by Mr. Genius, shot back with “Why can’t mommy do it?  It’s her JOB anyway!”  Since I was in the kitchen fixing dinner, I heard every word and went on strike the next day.  He didn’t enjoy that very much.

This is the child who looked me dead in the face when told to change clothes and told me “I don’t have to do that, because I’m the boss!”  I looked at him, speechless, and said “ok” and walked away.  He rightfully got scared and promptly ran to obey, and then came back and told me “I’m sorry mom, I shouldn’t have said that.  I’m not the boss.”  I sweetly smiled and told him “I’m so glad you realized that because you were about to get all the boss things to do around here.”

He looked at me warily, and asked “what things?”  I told him that bosses had to do all the things that no one else wanted to do, like laundry (I was in the middle of a huge pile) cleaning up toys, fixing food, doing the dishes …. I went on until he cut me off and said “but bosses get to do the fun stuff!”  No child, that’s not how it works.

More often than not, he has “No” in his vocabulary more than a 2-year-old.  It’s his canned response to everything.  He is full of defiance, raging with anger, and his natural response is to lash out.

He’s lucky he has us for parents.  Because we understand that there’s more to it than defiance.  We know that something is triggering the emotional response, something bigger than the sibling taking a toy away or not getting a turn.  We understand that he’s fighting the demons of anxiety and perfectionism, and we know that makes him react in not-so-pleasant ways at times.

I don’t like it.  I don’t enjoy it, for sure!  But I do know it’s not personal.  I know he doesn’t hate me, he’s just in the grip of strong emotions that he can’t seem to control.  He’s six.  He just sounds like he’s 16.

I strangle back the laughter when a fellow parent tells me their child is going through a stage of defiance.  I know it’s important to them and it’s a difficult deviation from their child’s norm, but they cannot even comprehend what it’s like to live with my child.  This intense, defiant, strong-willed child who fights the rules every single day for the sheer joy of battle.  They have no clue.  They don’t even know how glad they should be that they have no clue!

Like everything else in our lives, we obviously don’t just let the Engineer get away with it.  It was a stormy day, full of trips to his room to calm down, apologies, and pushing boundaries.  It was a rough day for everyone, because our kids are sensitive enough to pick up on each other’s turmoil and reflect it.   The Princess ran around hitting people and pushing them, while the Destroyer added oil to the fire by picking fights.  A hard day.

But even though it was a hard day and I almost lost my cool a few times, I’m proud of how I handled it.  I managed to work with him, Mr. Genius helped calm him down a few times, and we worked as a team to overcome whatever was triggering this problem.  It’s not personal, it just is.

I think of our role as parents sometimes as those barriers you see on piers: the sea barriers.  They stand strong.  They don’t attack the sea, they just stand there and prevent it from flooding onto the pier.  They are a boundary for the wild waves and the wind-blown surge.  The Engineer may surge against our barriers and boundaries, but he knows he’s safe.  He knows we’re not going to suddenly crumble and let him spill.  We are his walls, his barriers to control self for him until he’s older and more mature.

Please tell me it gets better before the teen years, right?  I’m still holding a vain hope that maybe I won’t completely lose my mind.

  1. We live such parallel lives. That was my kiddo at 6, too. Mine will be 14 in January and the teen years have put the teenage behavior at 6 to shame. Some days his humor and antics make me laugh until I cry while other days the strong will and sarcasm make me consider putting him up for adoption–or at least loaning him out until he gets through this phase.

Mighty Squirrel Cloud Candy

Mighty Squirrel originally launched as a contract brewery focused on high protein beers for people with active lifestyles. Lots of breweries try to market to the “go on a long run and then have a couple beers” customers, either with branding or with claims about the beer itself. I’ve never really understood it, I’ve run some road races and grabbed beers afterwards but never felt the need to tailor my beer to my workout. I could be wrong, but it looks like Mighty Squirrel has moved on from this, focusing instead on making great beer without any gimmicks. They are also working on building their own brewery in Waltham. One of the new beers added to Mighty Squirrel’s lineup is Cloud Candy a NEIPA brewed with Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo hops. Mighty Squirrel Cloud Candy is available year round on draft and in 16 oz cans.

Mighty Squirrel Cloud CandyMighty Squirrel Cloud Candy pours hazy light yellow with a solid white head. The nose features a big burst of fruity hops. This is a hop-bomb New England style IPA, notes of grapefruit, pineapple, orange and peach along with a soft bitterness. This is complemented by a light malt backbone, hints of bread crust and crackers. Cloud Candy is medium bodied and drinks easy, not overly boozy at 6.5% ABV. The finish is crisp and just a touch sweet with plenty of lingering hop flavor. This is a very good NEIPA, I’m impressed and definitely looking forward to checking out the brewery in Waltham when it opens. Hoppy Boston score: 4.5/5.

Intel Rocket Lake-S 11th Gen Desktop CPUs Reportedly Cleared For March 2021 Liftoff

Intel Rocket
While the current 10th generation Comet Lake-S family rules the roost when it comes to Intel's desktop processors, a new family will be taking its place within the next 6 months. According to all of the leaked information that we've gathered over the past year, Comet Lake-S will be replaced by 11th generation Rocket Lake-S processors.

A new report from Videocardz is now alleging that the first Rocket Lake-S processors will arrive in March 2021, which is a little earlier in the year than when Comet Lake-S launched during 2020. Rocket Lake-S processors will allegedly use the LGA-1200 socket that was first introduced with Comet Lake-S and will be pin-compatible with 400-Series motherboards like the Z490. In addition, some Z490 motherboards that were already PCIe 4.0-ready will be able to fully unlock this functionality with a Rocket Lake-S processor onboard.

Intel Die

It may seem hard to believe, but Rocket Lake-S is still using Intel’s aging (but still potent) 14nm process node. But if there's any consolation, it will reportedly be Intel's last desktop processor family to use 14nm, as it will eventually be replaced by 12th generation Alder Lake-S processors. Despite sticking with the 14nm, Rocket Lake-S will bring some new features to the table including the aforementioned PCIe 4.0 support along with Thunderbolt 4.0, Cypress Cove cores (back ported from Willow Cove cores found in Tiger Lake), higher-speed DDR4 memory, and integrated Gen12 Iris Xe graphics.

When we last left Rocket Lake-S, benchmarks from an 8-core, 16-thread variant leaked onto the internet, showing a base clock of 3.2GHz with a turbo clock of 5GHz. The benchmarks also point to around a 20 percent uplift in performancecompared to Comet Lake-S.

We still have quite a way to go before Rocket Lake-S is actually available, and in the meantime, AMD is already gearing up to launch its next-generation Zen 3-based Ryzen processors. AMD is holding an event on October 8th (this Thursday) when it will announce its Ryzen 5000 processors.

Tax and regulatory burden rankings, lot size reform, increasing walkability, superstar cities vs. Covid and Spiderman, and much more

I apologize for the longer delays between what are usually weekly posts. My day job in alternative education and edutech has absolutely blown up with covid and remote learning, leaving little time for blogging. But I'm using a gap hour between meetings today to get this post cranked out, so here are some catch-up items:
"Returning to Texas, the Austin Business Journal piece cited a survey that found that Austin was the top-ranked city for tech workers to relocate worldwide, just ahead of Seattle and Amsterdam. That ranking is largely based on past decisions that allowed the city’s housing market to keep up with demand. But unfortunately, Austin’s city council has shifted to the left over the past few years and has become increasingly hostile to both new development and road construction, with the city becoming more expensive and congested as a result. Were it not for the fact that most other tech havens are even further to the left politically, Austin would likely lose its No. 1 ranking."
"Next, we examine how this reform impacted Houston’s neighborhoods. Did developers flock to the most affluent neighborhoods? Or did this shift subdivision activity to lower-income neighborhoods with lower land values? Using both GIS data and regression analysis, we find that the new 1,400 square foot lots were overwhelmingly developed in two types of areas: First, in neighborhoods where there was substantial underutilized former commercial and industrial land, and second, in largely underbuilt middle-income residential neighborhoods.
The scale of this change in much of western Houston is hard to overstate. Many neighborhoods, such as Shady Acres and Rice Military, have been completely transformed. In many cases, this has involved the subdivision of conventional post-war 5,000 square foot lots into three townhomes, effectively tripling population densities. We hypothesize that the wealthiest areas avoided subdivision activity through existing deed restrictions, while middle-income neighborhoods absorbed much of the demand, minimizing redevelopment pressure in low-income neighborhoods.
We draw two lessons for planning practice from this case study. First, allowing the most extreme opponents to “opt out” of land-use reform may help clear a path for citywide liberalization. While planners and policymakers should be prudent, such compromises may make sense where local politics otherwise blocks reform. In Houston, the compromise was deemed acceptable, and the result has been over 25,000 new housing units close to major job centers.
Second, citywide land-use liberalization is likely to direct growth into middle-income and underbuilt neighborhoods, barring other institutional constraints. While this comes with separate risks—such as disinvestment from lower-income areas—it may help to ease concerns regarding displacement."
  • NYT: Coronavirus Threatens the Luster of Superstar Cities - Urban centers, with a dynamism that feeds innovation, have long been resilient. But the pandemic could drive a shift away from density.  The article does a good job looking at all the different forces involved and potential outcomes, but seems to ignore the potential of safer car-based cities to still generate plenty of innovation and support amenities - places like Houston, Austin, and Silicon Valley. Excerpts:
“A survey by the market research firm Reach Advisors found that companies facing high real estate and labor costs were the most interested in pursuing remote work into the future. “The biggest shift away from density will likely be in markets such as the Bay Area and New York City,” said the company’s president, James Chung. By shifting to remote work, “they can dramatically widen their labor pool and evade the labor-wage trap that they are in.” …
"But for a city like New York, he said, Covid-19 offers an opportunity for redemption. “New York was running into a dead end, turning into a paradise for the rich,” he said. “Culturally dead.” Moving back to a cheaper, messier, more diverse equilibrium may carry a silver lining."
Finally, a really clever video by Nolan Gray explaining high NYC housing costs through the lens of Spiderman. Enjoy!

August 16, 2008

The rain has been relentless here in Prague with the water rising slowly but continuously. The Men just finished their cut from 20 to 10 at about 5pm tonight. Yet, they/we are not finished for the day! We still have the cut from 10 to 5 left under the lights!

The first heat of 5 men had Stephen Wright in it, who got 17th in the prelims. That is an unusual place for world’s biggest air master to be in, so he decided to change his rank in this competition and came out swinging to earn himself a berth in the next round. Stepan Vohradsky, from Czech, was also in the lowest scoring heat to make the quarter finals but made it to the semis, making that two paddlers that were ranked from 16-20 moving up to the top 10. Dustin Urban from the USA, was in the 3rd heat getting a 10th place in the prelims, but decided to throw down the biggest ride of the competition so far with a 1,000 point ride putting him in third place. Thomasz Czaplicky from Poland was also moved up from a 13th in prelims to top 10 to make Semi-finals! In the Top 10 there were plenty of changes in the ranking on this round. The rides were generally better than in the prelims with 3 rides per athlete and only 2 counted. Since the water went up it was a little harder to set up the Phonics Monkey and McNasty, but yet, many of the paddlers did it anyway. There were a lot of Tricky Woos in that round too. It looked like a do or die round for many paddlers just throwing their boat around like a rag doll. Some of them were throwing trash mixed in with some quality moves. The Europeans are quite good at the Tricky Woo I must say!

The Ranking for the top 10 after quarter finals- and only for the next 90 minutes until Semi-finals is:

NickTroutman- Canada
Peter Czonka- Slovakia
Dustin Urban- USA
Eric Jackson- USA
Mathieu Dumoulin- France
Stephen Wright- USA
Thomasz Czaplicky Poland
Casper van Kalmthout- Netherlands
Stepan Vohradsky- Czech Republic

Clay Wright missed out on this round with a 17th place just two out and not by many points.

Now for the last cut of the night for the men- the Semi-Finals where we go from 10 to 5 for the finals tomorrow! Peter Czonka actually told me that he was frightened of paddling under the lights because it was hard. While, he may do great, and I hope he does, it sounds like he is psyching himself out already. I am quite happy to go under the lights. We spent much of last winter under the lights at Rock Island because they released the water at night time. I got to compete in the 2001 Semi-Finals at the Worlds in very similar circumstances- water came up higher and the paddlers were all fired up and nervous with the lights. The weather was nice so there were thousands of spectators. Here the weather is so miserable today that umbrellas, and rain coats, and winter clothes are required! The only spectators are friends and family and other paddlers. I am not watching the junior men go because I need a break from the cold and wet before my event, for example.

There’s no denying it: the world is absolutely bonkers. If we were to put it to a vote, I’m be strongly in favor of tearing the whole planet down and starting over. I think it’s the only way we’re going to see a clear path to getting society back under control.

In the meantime, it sure is nice to know that there are certain comforting constants out there. For instance, Twitter. Even in 2020, people on Twitter are still making hilarious, half nihilistic, half light-hearted comedy to simultaneously lift and dampen our spirits in the best possible way.

Here are 15 of the best recent tweets from some of the women of Twitter.

15. Rock bottom

For those who don’t know, snooker is like pool or billiards. If I ever learn the difference, kill me.

14. Be a man!

Fun fact: men never get sick. They are always lying about pain. Always.

13. Big kiss

I am also learning this for the first time.

12. Priorities

So, we’re clearly doomed but at least there are good memes about it.

11. Decorative dinnerware

Mostly I just admire your tenacity.

10. Corporate culture

These are the stories 2020 has given us.

9. When will my reflection show…

…who I am…insiiiiiiiiidde…

8. Big brain time

Just don’t let it go to your head.

7. Who helps the helpers?

Weirdly, she got the whole puzzle right.

6. Flamin’ hot

The apocalypse is gonna be delicious.

5. Indecent exposure

What did you expect to see?

4. 8 legged freaks

As an arachnophobe, I refer to all of them as “no.”

3. Smack-tastic

If anybody ever kissed me that loud I’d dump ’em right then and there.

2. Have you heard about this?

He’s getting super mad that we aren’t laughing.

1. The hunt

It’s kind of a spectator sport, but, we all gotta find hobbies.

Again, 2020 – total trash fire. But Twitter? …Well Twitter is also kind of a trash fire, BUT not these parts of it. Follow these funny folks for more ferocious foolery.

Who are your favorite people on Twitter right now?

Nigeria at 60: OSUN varsity seeks solution to leadership challenge

Senate spokesperson Admits Process of leadership in Nigeria is challenging, as Former NUC Boss, Okebukola calls for the reward of Popoola and Oloyede

Leadership is fast becoming the bane of Nigeria. This is the submission of Senator Ajibola Bashiru, who spoke recently at a public lecture organized by UNIOSUN on the school campus . During the lecture, themed “Leadership in a decadent Society: Treading the Solitary Path”, the Senator representing Osun Central Senatorial District said Nigerian needs to review its leadership structure, and the process of selecting or electing people into public offices.

Among the guest speakers, at the lecture, are the former NUC boss, Professor Peter Okebukola, OFR; Chancellor of the University, Apostle Dr Mrs Alakija; Former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Professor Is-haq Oloyede; Pioneer Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University, Professor Sola Akinrinade, FNAL; Former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Professor Olufemi Bamiro; Former Registrar of the University of Ibadan, Chief Mrs Mojisola Ladipo, mni; Professor Godwin Kowero; Professor Abiodun Alao; Professor Janice Olawoye; Engineer Remi Bello; Hon. Abdullahi Binuyo among others.

According to the Senate Spokesperson, “the process of selection, the process of attainment of leadership is absolutely flawed and that is why it is very important for us to encourage people of goodwill, intellectual and sagacity, and uncommon morality to get engaged in our political sphere.”

“If we did not engage in politics we will end up being ruled by those who are lesser than us and they will take us to where don’t want.” He added.

Meanwhile, former NUC Boss, Professor Peter Okebukola who connected virtually said the essence of the lecture is to remind ourselves the attributes of a decadent society and how a leader is expected to make effort in transforming better governance.

He urged that if the National Universities Commission (NUC) should award any leader on a stable leadership role and developmental agenda then Professor Labode Popoola and Professor Is-haq Oloyede should be considered as best fit.

The Chancellor of the institution, Apostle Dr. Folorunsho Alakija maintained that there is corruption in every part of Nigeria, and has invaded our county in extreme.
“Corruption is not limited to government officials but our institutions are also part if this menace of corruption. Our youth have lost hope in the country as a result of corruption, and they are looking for every opportunity to leave the shore of our land.”
Speaking on the same topic, the Chief Executive of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Is-haq Oloyede noted that a decadent would produce a decadent leadership.
In his words, “When a decadent society is allowed to appoint a leader, the possibility is very high that they will appoint a decadent leader.”
The speakers, management, staff, and students of the University thereby wish the Vice-chancellor, Professor Labode Popoola long life and prosperity

Helpful Reviews About Flap Briefcase

  • sa****p

    I’ll try to leave a detailed review since the seller has NO communication. Ordered on the 22nd Feb received today 6th April. So over a month, which was expected. Once it was forwarded to the ‘transit agent’ the tracking did not update for 17 days which worried me. Once it came to the UK it took about 3 days to get to me which is reasonable. The bag itself is very nice, I’ve seen the real one in person and this is quite a good replica of it, has a nice weight to it. Comes with a dust bag. I was worried about the coin pouch having a crooked logo like someone of the people have reviewed but mine came fine, it’s the correct rectangular shape too, not round. The long strap has the brand logo printed on it too multiple times. All metal hardware has the brand logo engraved not printed which adds to the quality. The bag itself is 1cm shorter than the real and 1cm shorter in depth, so not obvious unless you measure! Has a serial number inside and the nameplate too. Leather tag is also v good!
  • Ka****h

    This time the service was in place. Soon after placing the order, the store gave me the tracking code.My goods will be dispatched the next day after placing the order.So I am very satisfied with this shopping.I look forward to reaching me in three weeks.I didnamp;apos;t expect to arrive early, and in general, itamp;apos;s good.I am very satisfied with the order.The product is perfect and I will order more because my online store has very good sales and a high rate of return.This is a very fast delivery.Iamp;apos;m really touched.This batch looks great!This is a real assessment.Honestly, my smell and appearance are great!Greetings from David: ps: Great!!!This is the best wholesaler I have ever done in Dunhuang, because every bag has passed their quality inspection, and there are traces of quality inspection, I am sure that they are a careful wholesaler
  • da****0

    This bag is by far my favorite bag. Everything is spot on and HONESTLY THE SHIPPING WAS THE FASTEST IVE EVER EXPERIENCED ON DHGATE. Don’t hesitate to order because everything is spot on. The ONE con is the chain is shorter than the real one and the lobster claps and loops to attach the chain are slightly bigger.. other than that the bag is spot on.. The chain actually has weight to it LIKE it’s not cheap feeling at all.. in my opinion it’s real leather because it smells like real leather and it feels sturdy and durable. It does have a datecode .. the box was off just because the wording on the box isn’t blue and the dust bag feels a bit stiff but who cares.. THE BAG IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AND ITS AMAZING. This is my 3rd purchase from this seller and I’m never disappointed with the quality.. I got the gg marmont in black and I just ordered another one these but in the brown checkered print.. BEST SELLER ON DHGATES.. as far as quality and shipping I would say this is a 1:1 quality
  • am****5

    April 9- March 2 from date of order to delivery. Holy crap, this thing looks like the real deal. I don’t have any real “C” items because I can’t afford them but I compared this pretty hard to my friends and it looks almost identical. The gold logo stamp isn’t perfect on the inside and could be a giveaway which is the only downside. Leather is soft, no bad smell. Actually smells like good real leather as advertised. The gold color to the hardware is nice. Interior is awesome. Love the burgundy color. No loose seams or stitching. All pockets are functional. Zipper is smooth.The bag I got does not have a center seam on the bottom like someone else mentioned, this was my main concern after reading that. So it has all the features of the real bag. Seller sent spot on photos of the bag before I bought it. It came with a cute dust bag. I hope that it lasts for a long time, very pretty and classy looking. Planning to use for fancy events. It’s worth the $90.
  • er****n

    I communicated with the seller to get a pastel Escale MM. The bag I received was BETTER than the photos the seller sent. In the photos I received, the tie dye was a giveaway the bag is a dupe. I was regretting purchasing. However, if you look at the tie dye on the bag I actually received it looks very identical to the authentic. The bag itself is great quality. The stitching is clean and straight. The logos are pretty true to the authentic placement. The interior lining is identical to the authentic. The one giveaway is that the logos on the pochette should be upside down on one side but the pochette is stored inside the bag anyway. My only complaint is the bag was very wrinkled upon arrival. I am hoping the creases and wrinkles will come out over time. I have the bag stuffed with blankets to start working them out which is why the shape of the bag looks more square in my photos However, the bag was packaged flat and packed very well in bubble wrap. A dust bag was included.
  • tr****4

    I purchased my bag and received it very quickly however upon inspection it had some very obvious holes in the handle and some very clear scuff marks. I did contact the seller and after much communication amp;(this took time I believe due to the language barrieramp;) they have agreed to send me a replacement. Unfortunately that was believed to of been sent back via customs and the seller has been in Touch and advised me another has been sent out and this one has now updated via the tracking number to say itamp;apos;s on the way to me. Although it has been a long process to receive my replacement I do feel it has been handled very well. I have purchased form this seller before and never had an issue so Iamp;apos;m sure this is a one off. I would still continue to use the seller as their products are brilliant quality and customer service is very good. I would just make sure you contact via email instead of IM if you have any issues. Happy buyer!
  • bu****r

    Bag took about a month and a half to arrive. Overall I am happy with the bag since it only cost about $20. Some of the things that I don’t like is there are several small spots of bad (extra loops matted together) stitching and loose thread on the strap (hard to see because of the dark color but may be more visible on lighter color), the spade is a little scuffed up, and the inner lining is a plastic material that makes a bit of a crunchy noise. Also, I saw several reviews where people showed a bubble insert to help keep the purse shape. Mine did not have that and was folded in half so there is a crease on the back. I’m pretty confident the crease will go away with use and I also stuffed the bag. I still think this bag is a great buy for the price and I’ll probably end up buying a few extra colors.

    bag looks exactly like the real one, it has a factory plasticy kinda smell to it but that will go away with time. i’m giving it 4 stars because it took 3 months to get here. if you care about the box it looks so real however, it’s bound to get beaten up in the mail like mine did a little and there’s a sticker on the front that takes up a good portion of the box that says remake and the sticker is one of those stickers that will not come off in one piece. in the end, the details really do make the bag and it looks amazing. if you’re thinking of getting i say get it just be noted about the really long shipping. customer service is eh they don’t really help. overall amazing bag and i’m very attentive to detail! also i should mention that it does come with everything it says it will and those are very nice as well and the zippers are not hard to open they’re pretty buttery.

SPLTRAK Abstract Submission
Ongoing performance assessment strategies & operational challenges when managing hundreds of distributed photovoltaic assets across Asia
Andre M Nobre, Anusha Agarwal, Sai Pranav
Cleantech Solar, Singapore, Singapore

When managing a few solar farms of tens of MWp, asset owners are occupied with a handful of these systems within their delimited area. However, picture managing hundreds of small systems (below 1 MWp/site) across a vast area encompassing several developing countries. Challenges range from assessing the performance of the photovoltaic systems to maintaining these in a cost-effective manner. In this paper, we further attack two major points which were previously presented at two IEEE PVSC past events – (1) determining how best to gauge performance ratios of PV systems in a highly distributed setting given the availability and boundary conditions of irradiation sources, and (2) analyzing how assets have concurrently performed in a diversified portfolio. Asia is a hot spot for PV system deployment, yet little research exists when compared to other matured markets in Europe and America. This work aims at further contributing knowledge on PV systems in this part of the world.

Repetition in Pop Music, Classical Music, and Poetry

Have you ever thought about how much repetition there is in music, whether popular or classical? It’s so ubiquitous that it’s easy to forget about how weird it actually is. If you were reading a book and the exact same chapter was repeated you’d probably be scratching your head and wondering if you had a messed up copy. But in music, that’s the norm! So today’s post addresses how we might think about musical repetition from its similarities to literary repetition (because while entire chapters might not be repeated in books there is a significant amount of repetition in some literature like poetry). Let’s just talk about one form of repetition right now, but there are a ton of others:

“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

-“Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night”
by Dylan Thomas

Refrains can be literary; the poem above is a great (and one of my favorite) examples of that! Refrains are everywhere in pop music, too—you know, that catchy part of the song that comes back many times after being interspersed with verses? Refrains can happen in classical music, though, too.

When a particular theme of classical music comes back after some different section, then, we can think about it as a refrain. What difference does that make, you might ask? Well, think about what the purpose of a refrain is in pop music and/or poetry: the refrain gains prestige as the most important point of the song, the point the singer/author is most obsessed with, if you will.

So if you hear a particular musical passage that comes back over and over again in between other contrasting music, the composer is telling you that it’s important.

So how do we connect this back to literature?

1) Well, like the Thomas poem, the repeated music might invoke a sense of an inescapable, death-defying desire (a desire that may or may not be fulfilled by the end of the piece).

2) Like pop music, a classical musical refrain might signify a self-directed statement or reminder (“let it go, let it go / can’t hold it back anymore” -you know what this is from)

3) Or a declarative, non-negotiable statement (“but I’ve got a blank space baby / and I’ll write your name” -Taylor Swift, “Blank Space”)

4) It could be purposefully humorous; the more repetitions of one thing, the more ridiculous and over-the-top it may seem (“got a long list of ex-lovers / they’ll tell you I’m insane” -still Taylor Swift, “Blank Space”)

5) Side-stepping for a moment, the verses may provide new information or a twist with which to interpret the refrain (“But rumour has it I’m the one you’re leaving her for…But rumour has it he’s the one I’m leaving you for” -Adele, “Rumour Has It”). Obviously you won’t be told what the twist is in words for instrumental classical music, but that’s where your imagination comes in!!

Refrain Example:

(Rondos are a good example of a sort of refrain happening in classical music.)

So what do you think about the similarities and differences of refrains in classical music, pop music, and even poetry? Let me know in the comments!

      1. Found this from my debut collection:

        Hanging on the telephone
        in a hazy funk.
        Ice in a glass.
        The words
        shape-shifting silver bream,
        catching the light.

        The ice shifts,
        tying me down,
        caught on a line
        encumbered, turbid.
        Tasting Berlin: Berlin,
        hanging on the telephone
        in a hazy funk

      2. I really like this poem! Do you mind saying what your thought process behind the refrain was, then? Was it anything like what I suggest in this post? Out of curiosity. 🙂

      3. The poem opens with the description of what I was doing at the time-trying to reach a friend in Germany, late on a Saturday night when I’d had a few drinks. I never got anywhere with the call-in a time before mobiles, and at the end of the poem I guess I used it as a reminder of what I was doing,still doing. It worked like bookends, I think.

      4. No More

        No more. No more bleaching white
        the nicotine stained flesh
        of your fingers,
        picking at the sterile
        veneer of cordiality
        amidst the well-thumbed
        scattered deserts
        from which ruins strive to rise.

        No more counting down the markers,
        elbows jostling territorially,
        courting, sequential swans
        rising in toasts, triumphant.
        Your slow, inexorable withdrawal
        left behind a vacuum,
        the equilibrium of a table
        out of kilter.

        No longer the trumpeted parading
        of the heir apparent,
        the tedious repetition
        of vine and tongue,
        reproduced seasoned lines
        framing the true inheritance
        and held to likeness.
        Casual comparity no more. No more.

  3. I think you may be on to something here. Your post also made me thinking about the repetitive themes in literature. Some authors will use some of the same themes but they still are effective. I’m mainly thinking about Nicholas Sparks. I think he’s an amazing writer, but his themes are repetitive. The way you described themes in literature though makes sense. That kind of repetition can be very effective I think in driving a point home and like you said it’s obviously very important and something that the writer wants us to focus on like the Thomas poem you highlighted. Great analysis!

    1. Thanks! That’s a great point about Nicholas Sparks and a lot of other authors. I’ve noticed it in TV shows, too! Sometimes they’ll just use the same plot arc over and over, and while it can still be fun if done well it really does send a clear message haha.

  4. Classical music refrains are usually difficult to spot though. Due to the length of the compositions, often when the refrain returns you have to listen to the song again to pick up on the pattern, which is why it takes a while to appreciate a piece of classical music as opposed to pop, where its modern and accessible.

    Interesting post though, I enjoyed reading it. Now I have a new sonata to listen to.

  5. Such an interesting post! Makes me think of anaphora in writing/speaking–repeating a phrase at the beginning of several successive sentences, such as “I have a dream.” And there’s the recurrence of literary images (like the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleberg in The Great Gatsby). Anyway, I love this post, it’s so cool to see all the parallels between different types of music and poetry! 🙂

    Liked by 1 person

    1. It’s definitely a lot like anaphora sometimes! Stravinsky does this almost exactly in a lot of his music actually where he’ll write a small musical segment and then repeat it with an extension and then repeat it again with a bigger extension…it’s pretty cool. 🙂

  6. I happened by this post as it connects the nature of music and poetry, their essential connectivness–something I’ve been work on explicitly for the past year or so.

    Here’s one thing I’ve used, which is not new to musicians, but is somewhat foreign to readers or performers of poetry. Musicians, even those in the classical tradition, expect the freedom to create their own refrains from a musical phrase or a line in the lyrical text–but performers and readers of poetry somehow hold the text as “sacred” and will not repeat what the author did not write explicitly as a repeat.

    Because I’m focused this year on writing and performing music to accompany poems, I now think of the text as I would think of a musical phrase that I’m allowed to state simply as is, or to elaborate using my own taste as a performer. In performing poems and other texts I’ll often repeat stanzas, or create refrains from a line or two in the original text from this outlook.

    1. That’s really interesting!! I’ve never actually come across the idea of having the freedom to repeat things the composer didn’t write in the music. Normally I feel like classical musicians are pretty focused on the score, at least in my experience. I really like the idea of pairing music with poetry, though, and giving the performer some freedom! Very cool stuff.

Genomic Research Identifies Potentially Useful Markers in Mesothelioma

The International Mesothelioma Program’s (IMP) genomic analysis team has identified and validated multiple new mutations and chromosomal rearrangements in the mesothelioma genome that may potentially improve therapeutic decision-making for mesothelioma, and indeed for all cancers. Their findings represent the latest discovery from the IMP’s genome project, a collaborative effort to discover mutations associated with mesothelioma that potentially may be valuable as markers for diagnosis, prognosis, or therapy.

Did you know that Rubber Wood is not actually bouncy timber but comes from the tree that produces rubber? So rubber wood actually gives twice with our new range of ECOMAX Hair Brushes making them 100% plastic free, Vegan and biodegradable.

100% plastic free

All the materials and packaging in an ECOMAX Brush is completely plastic free. The timber is rubber wood which after about 30 years of productive life producing latex is then harvested for its timber. The rubber trees even produced the natural rubber cushioning used in the brush which is known to be anti-bacterial, hypo-allergenic and anti-dust mite. The pins are made from bamboo, another fast growing sustainable material. Our simple packaging of a swing tag tied with jute string mean that everything about these brushes is plastic free.

Hand crafted solid timber

Over time glues weaken and give up, particularly in damp environments like bathrooms. A solid timber brush has no glues so will last a lifetime. Rubber wood despite its name is a very durable hardwood belonging to the maple family. It has a beautiful appearance, ranging from blonde to a medium tan with distinct flecks and swirls of colour adding character and making every brush unique.

Less static

Ever wondered why your hair tangles easily and gets all fly-away and frizzy? Plastic is high on the Triboelectric scale for gaining a positive electrical charge which is why you often find your hair becomes frizzy and flyaway when using a plastic comb or brush as it passes that charge to your hair. Whereas wood and rubber are almost neutral, neither gaining a positive nor negative charge so no static hair when brushing and your hair stays nice and smooth. Simple.

How many times have you had the plastic tips on hair brushes drop off only to end up with sharp metal pins, ouch! Even plastic is not very gentle, the cut ends under a microscope show just how sharp the ends actually are. Bamboo pins are so much gentler, with beautiful rounded ends that glide easily through your hair never scratching your scalp or catching in your hair.

Scalp and hair health

The natural oils that are produced in your scalp are nature’s way to keep your hair and scalp healthy. When you brush your hair with a rubber cushioned brush the gentle massage you are giving your scalp increases blood flow and your body’s natural ability to produce these beneficial oils. The rounded bamboo pins help to distribute these oils throughout your hair resulting in glossier shinier and smoother hair.

100% Biodegradable

In a throw away society with so much going into land fill it is now more important than ever to look at the full life cycle of the products we buy. These ECOMAX Hair Brushes are made to last but at the end of their productive life they are made from 100% biodegradable materials. So add them to your compost bin to breakdown naturally.

With 3 styles in the ECOMAX  Hair Brushes there will be a perfect one for you. You can chose between the large hair brush for everyday brushing, a smaller handbag size for a quick brush up during the day or when travelling or the oval brush without a handle that fits nicely into the palm of your hand. All ECOMAX Brushes are Vegan and plastic free, positive changes today, for a sustainable and zero waste tomorrow.

Aussie relay team urged to hand back medals

The Australian 4x400m women's relay team should hand back the Commonwealth Games gold medals they were awarded after their protest led to England being disqualified, one of Australia's most respected athletes said.

Ron Clarke, who set 18 world records in middle and long distance events during the 1950s and 1960s, called on Jana Pittman, Caitlin Willis, Rosemary Hayward and Tamsyn Lewis to hand the medals back as an act of sportsmanship.

- Commonwealth Games coverage

England easily won the relay final ahead of Australia but were disqualified on a minor technicality after their third runner, Natasha Danvers Smith, had been standing in the wrong order at a changeover.

England were already in front and gained no obvious advantage but the Australians lodged a protest, which saw them awarded the gold and England disqualified.

''I am absolutely appalled by what went on and frankly our girls should never have accepted the medal,'' Clarke told today's edition of Daily Telegraph.

''How can they accept a gold medal when they were out-raced? They should give their gold medals to England without hesitation.'' Australian Athletics officials defended the decision by the athletes to protest, saying England would have been disqualified anyway because the rule breach had already been picked up by track officials.

But Clarke said the rule should be changed.

''They applied the rules but it's poor sportsmanship,'' he said.

''What would've happened if the Australians had won clearly and the English protested... in order to get a gold medal? ''We would've become a republic.'' Clarke, who lit the cauldron at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics but never won an Olympic gold medal, currently serves as mayor of Gold Coast.
