I've been following along through the examples in the text, and reached Listing 6.21. This requires extending the definition of the Subject class, and the details were not shown in the text, so I went to the code sample, Chapter06to08, and copied the code from the LinqInActionChapter06to08.CSharpCommonSampleClassesCh6Subject.cs and worked with that. I got example 6.21 to work, but when I went on to 6.22, I got a runtime-error:
"The member '<my namespace>.Subject.Books' has no supported translation to SQL." Of course, this could be some error in my code (which I won't post, because that is not the purpose of this Thread). So I wanted to run the 6.22 example in the code sample Chapter06to08, and found that, while there is code in the Ch6Samples.cs, the tree on the left side of the screen does not contain a reference to this example. In fact, it jumps from 6-19 to 6-24. Is there any reason for this? Is there a patch for the Chapter06to08 sample code which I've missed, that will run these examples?

Re: Missing Examples from Chapter 6
Sorry about that.

The solution is to remove the "static" keyword from the following methods in Chapter06to08.CSharpCommonCodeSamplesCh6Samples.cs: ObjectTrees_6_21, ObjectTrees_6_22, ObjectTrees_6_22a, ObjectTrees_6_23.

Note: another option for running the samples is to use LinqPad. The LINQ in Action samples can be downloaded on the Samples tab.

Here are a few minor things in the current v7 MEAP that aren't worth opening separate threads about.

p81, The capturing syntax is actually `&<expr>`, not `&(<expr>smilie`. The parentheses are not needed except to make the capturing operator bind to the right expression. For example `&(&1 + &2)` but `&[&1|&2]`, `&{&1,&2}`, `&%{foo: &1}`, `&foo.(&1)`. Superfluous parentheses appear in many places (just search for `&(`).

p239, You use called_pid as the same parameter of handle_call, however it gets, as you correctly described earlier, a tuple of a pid and a tag. It may be somewhat clearer to call this called_from or something.

p245, Is there a particular reason you use HashDict.fetch instead of using the more general Dict.fetch?

p325, "Whenever a single process must serve many clients, those clients effectively become synchronized while accessing that single process." Not quite sure, but is the terminology synchronized correct? Or do they become serialized?

Re: Small things
1. Thanks. I'll see if it makes sense to reduce extra parens. I tend to use them personally, because I prefer to have this extra bit of noise instead of worrying about ambiguity. But yeah, some constructs such as &[], &{}, or &foo(...) don't need extra parens.

2. Yeah, good catch!

3. I used to use Dict functions earlier, but then I saw José mentioning somewhere (maybe ML) that we use concrete modules unless we aim to support whichever dict, so I changed to that. I also think it makes the code a bit easier to understand.

4. Good question. I was under impression that when some piece of code is synchronized in a concurrent system, it means that we have at most one instance of it running at any point in time. So yeah, thinking about it now, I guess requests become serialized, while the server code is synchronized (at most one instance at the time is running per distinct server). I think I'll have to reword this.

Compatibility list updates
The CL could use an overhaul.

1. some of the compatibility info is incorrect.
2. i can has compatibility for different emu versions?

Maybe you could switch to a community-review like system for determining the compatibility? You guys are working hard enough as it is, and i think lots of users would gladly help out in determining compatibility.

Also, having - let´s say - 3 columns for 3 different versions of the emu would be helpful as some games change compatibility and people could see easily which games are playable/tested on which versions.

Thanks alot for providing me with the possibility to finally play final fantasy 12!!!

Sponsored links

Good ideas, can you do it, please ? Wink

Seriously, it's impossible. New versions come out much too often, and the devs are more concentrated on it than on the CL.
CPU : I7 2600K Oc'ed @ 4.2Ghz
Mobo : Intel P67 southbridge
GPU : NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750 Ti
RAM : 6 Go
First, we can't test 2000 games from start to finish so obviously some entries will be wrong Tongue
Second, yes we have considered opening a public compatibility list for the public, but seeing as everyone has very different PCs and that most users don't even bother changing settings, it would end up way crappier than it is now.
[Image: newsig.jpg]
hmm how about.. a list of games
with a tiny poll system built in that will never close, this way you can for example see that 60% got it working, 20% has ingame bugs, and for some it just wont start

if lets say 80% gets it fully working its probably compatible
judging by these stats you can make a conclusion
Yeah but uh a tiny poll for each one of the 2000 games is too much Tongue Plus, with the new betas being out each day, it might be broken today and fixed tomorrow...
[Image: newsig.jpg]
well see there is the usefull part, close it when a new version comes out

and add a button "see results of previous versions"
and just make a new poll again
Some kind of "wiki" would be a nice option for the compatibility list, wouldn't you agree? People would be able to say the game worked and leave the machine specifications and emulator configuration and version.

Much like the screenshot thread, but organized by game, easier to follow.
CPU: C2Q Q6600
GPU: Geforce 8800GTS 512
MEM: GSkill 4GB 1066Mhz
OS1: Win7 x64 RTM

EMU: PCSX2 r1736
GPU: GSdx10 SSSE3 r1763
SPU: SPU2-X 1.2.0
PAD: LilyPad 0.10.0
Still the main problem is not solved. Stupid users creating crap entries, because they're pissed their games don't work (while they do with proper settings). Anyway people are free to start a compatibility wiki. We already provide much more info and support than most (any?) other emulator out there and things like these are simply taking too much time to maintain.
I'd prefer all that time and energy was put to the actual emulator.
[Image: newsig.jpg]
I think it's pretty clear the reality of the idea, when you consider that anyone could have started their own wiki-based compat list somewhere, and yet no one's stepped up to the plate and done it.

Hosted mirrors of Official builds? Got lots of those.
3rd party builds of PCSX2? Got lots of those.
Copycat builds that change plugin names and default speedhacks? Got several of those too!

Mirrors of PCSX2 compat list, or independent wiki-based compatibility lists? None.

Either no one really cares as much as some folks like to think, or it's a pain to do. Wink
Jake Stine (Air) - Programmer - PCSX2 Dev Team
well its mainly a pain to do on your own or even with a team since not everyone has 2000 games lol

Tips & Tricks Part 5: Runaround

Post by pjanssen » 30 Nov 2016, 08:50

I created some Applescripts, which might be useful for others too. So I wanted to share them here.

The fifth one is for toggling runaround on or off for a box.

Code: Select all

	tell application "QuarkXPress"
		tell document 1
			set var_referenceBox to object reference of current box
			tell var_referenceBox
				if runaround is none runaround then
					set runaround to item runaround
					set runaround to none runaround
				end if
				set selected to false
				set selected to true
			end tell
		end tell
	end tell
end try
This script is especially useful if a keyboard shortcut is attached to it.

If you own Keyboard Maestro: more useful macros can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28981

New and very interested but has some questions

  • I have a acer 2in1 laptop that I installed ubuntu on and it works great. Some of the tablet feature do not work fully which has been fine. Would Ubuntu touch work better with screen rotating and better tablet mode use? Also may i use regular ubuntu programs I have yet to see or understand if that is possible? Also is 2in one compatible if through convergence.Thanks sorry if its a repeat questions.

  • "Ubuntu Touch" currently only supports a small set of Android based phones and tablets.

    Unity 8 is not yet ready for use as a daily interface for more general purpose x86 systems like you've described.

    Once Unity 8 is usable there though, yes, normal apps installed via apt should be able to work. There is an enormous amount of work to get to that point though.

    Your best bet at the moment for supporting screen rotation and such, is probably with the standard GNOME interface provided in Ubuntu 18.04.

  • @freedman Just for my own intrest was this a t100 by any chance. If it was could you post details here please when you have time. Is it now dual boot at all or just Ubuntu and which version etc. No rush on this.

  • @lakotaubp No it was not. It was a Acer R3 the win 10 updates were to big and it basically made a useless computer untill my recovery failed to recover then I went to ubuntu.

  • @freedman Ok thanks,anyway.

Adams Papers

From John Adams to William Tudor, Sr., 15 February 1791

Philadelphia Feb. 15. 1791

Dear Sir

My good Genius this morning has thrown in my Way, by perfect Accident, your oration of the 4. July last, and although I read it with much pleasure, in its Season it now appeared to me, new and beautiful as ever.

I am afraid I never thanked you for the handsome Compliment paid to me in a Note. Indeed I now and then get a Compliment, and do not always give thanks for it. I am informed, within a few days, of an Eulogium passed upon me at Birmingham by our old C. Justice Oliver, and I question whether I Shall Send him Thanks for it at all. To a Gentleman in Company with him, he complained bitterly of John Adams, as “the Author of all his misfortunes and the Sole Contriver of the Revolution.” What a divine Compliment! Did you ever hear or read Such a Panegyrick? Your Compliment, goodly as it is, is flat and insipid in Comparison.

The Secret is that I was the “Original Inventor” of the Impeachment against him and that Impeachment excited the Grand and Petit Jurors in all the Counties of the Province to refuse to Act under him or his Court, and those Refusals really did produce the Revolution.

I must plead guilty to the Charge. I really was the very Midwife, who brought that Same impeachment into the World. I never before Suspected however, that Oliver was so well informed of our Secret History. At Table at Sam. Winthrops with a large Circle of Whigs, Dr. John Winthrop, turned to me, and asked Mr Adams what can be done to avoid this fatal Stroke, the Royal Salaries to the Judges? “Impeach of High Treason, before the Governor and Council, the Chief Justice,” was the answer. And this was the first time the Word Impeachment as I believe was pronounced. Major Hawley Soon heard of it, and came to me to know the grounds of my Strange opinion. I shewed him Book Chapter and Verse.

I owed Oliver however no ill Will. His Compliment is not merited. For altho I was really the first Cause of the Impeachment, it is my full Belief that the Revolution would have happened, if I had not existed. British Pretentions, could never have been carried into Execution, over such a Country and such a People, even although there had never existed a Washington or an Hancock a Franklin Adams or Warren.

Don’t, I pray you quite forget your Old Friend

J. Adams

Prong’s New Video – Divide and Conquer

New video from PRONG

Prong’s new album Zero Days drops 7/28

Open Air Lineup REVEALED

The lineup for the second Open Air 2017 has been announced.

Heavy hitters such as Kiss, Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Godsmack, Ozzy Osbourne, Lamb of God and Slayer will headline. What I find interesting is Slayer is closing second stage.

Slayer CLOSING second stage?

Well, that could be interesting since I believe they should be on first, right?

Korn is returning for their second stint as is Meshuggah who will also be one of the second stage’s headliners. Dillinger Escape Plan, Falling in Reverse, Avatar, Metal Church, as well as Body count are other names on the bill that definitely draw a lot of attention.

Let’s hope the second Open Air, can be as good as the first!

Opeth Gojira Old Indianapolis Centre 5/13/17

Although Opeth and Gojira and fastly becoming part of our regular rotation of coverage, they don’t seem to bore or disappoint us. First Gojira, who all look like babies, suddenly find themselves among the more seasoned artists in metal. A consistent tour schedule, massive exposure from the record company (Roadrunner), as well as a devoted fanbase will do that for you. And though they are mature now, they don’t perform like tired old men.

Even though the mix of complicated time changes and killer riffs can only be bested by Meshuggah or the concert’s headliners, Opeth, Gojira doesn’t allow that to stop them. Apparently, Gojira has mastered the art of keeping their fans on their toes and for this show the crowd was delighted by Gojira’s efforts.

Playing favorites such as Stranded, Silvera, and The Cell, Joe and company wowed the crowd with a strong forty-five minute set. The movement from those in attendance made the floor shake and their rousing show seemed to blow the roof off the Old Egyptian Centre.

In all the times I’ve seen Gojira, I’d have to say this ranks as one of their best shows. They always come with energy which some bands lack. Fortunately, they don’t and given that they’ve already been around over a decade and a half, they show no signs of slowing down.

As I mentioned in the aforementioned Gojira review, Opeth are one of the masters of complex and technical. Being a headliner seems to suit Opeth who continue to bring their A game.

Opeth is supporting their latest release Sorceress and they opened the night with that track. They also played a medley as they did the last time we saw them, getting us excited for older tracks without actually completing them, which annoyed many including me.

However, not enough to say the show was a failure. It wasn’t. Anytime seeing Opeth is a joy because although the list may be small due to the duration of songs, you always know Mikael and company will play every song flawlessly.

Forged in Fire Tour – Hellyeah In Flames

With Christmas just around the corner, it seemed apropos that we’d get to see Swedish metallers In Flames along with HellYeah as support. What better way to let out some aggression around the blasted holidays than catching two of the loudest bands on the planet? I say that with love of course.

The venue was packed to the rafters for this event and both bands brought their “A” game. HellYeah was supporting their newest release, Undeniable. The band was in top form, with lead singer Chad Gray rousing the crowd with his antics, highlighted by bassist Kyle Sanders spitting fake blood in his singer’s face! Chad had inspirational messages for his followers between each song; where he remarked how heavy metal saved him and urged that we’re all in this together. I suppose his words were in response to the election three weeks ago. Nevertheless, the crowd appreciated his sentiments and appeared to be into the set from beginning to end.

In Flames was up next and the headliners made sure they kept the energy going. In support of their latest disc, Battlers, my third favorite Swedes entertained the masses with their signature Gothenberg Sound. We also learned bassist Peter Iwers was leaving the band to pursue other interests. Lead singer Anders Friden made the announcement and many in the crowd, including me were shocked. Of course, we’re well aware of his brewery and restaurant he has back home which seems to have taken off, meaning he needs to drop one of his passions. Beer or Metal?  For a metalhead, seems like a pretty tough choice to me. Still, Peter is a staple in the band and he will be missed.

Despite that bit of bad news, the band put on a good set as always, leaving the capacity crowd happy they came out to give Peter a proper send off.

We at FourteenG wish Peter Iwers the best and look forward to a new incarnation of In Flames for 2017 and onward!

High on Fire/Meshuggah

High on Fire has always been a favorite of mine. The doom metal genre isn’t, but I always appreciated Matt Pike’s lyrical ability and musicianship. This evening he wowed the crowd playing tracks such as “The Black Plot”, “Rumors of War”, “Turk” and “Fertile Green”.

My second favorite Swedes. Who are the first you may ask? Click the link to find out. But yes, Meshuggah are definitely a close second. To appreciate a Meshuggah performance, you might need to get plenty of rest beforehand. Not because they are boring, oh no. Instead, it’s because the hard driving rhythms, killer riffs, and time changes will exhaust the hell out of you. Mind you, I wasn’t in the pit. I was off to the side with other press people, taking in the sight and having some libations, watching the melee unfold while the band were on stage playing their asses off. To say the crowd wasn’t totally into it would be wrong. They were, and although the performance was on the same night as the Cubs playing a world series game at home, the people in attendance cared little about what was going on in the outside world and gave all their energy and attention to Meshuggah.

And rightfully so. They played quite a few of their best songs as well as some off of their latest disc Violent Sleep of Reason which, in my opinion, was the best album of 2016. Meshuggah’s performance was one for the ages, cementing their place as one of the top bands in metal right now. The show and the disc will be talked about for years to come.

Psychic Warfare tour Clutch/Zakk Sabbath 10/25/16

Psychic, more like psychedelic. When putting a veteran band like Clutch along with guitar virtuoso, Zakk Wylde, who on this tour was playing Ozzy Osbourne, you get some funky rhythms, classic riffs, and a whole lot of second hand smoke. And no, I’m not talking cigarettes.

Needless to say, the name of the tour was appropriate considering their style as well as the promotion of their latest album. Listening to Zakk and his Sabbath along with Clutch might’ve put you on some spiritual trip. I love old Black Sabbath and Zakk’s awesome guitar playing made up for the fact he was trying way too damn hard to sound like Ozzy. Paying homage is cool. Every form of impersonation is flattery, but I don’t have to hear the second coming of the great Oz himself. There can only be one of him, and that’s plenty, thank you very much.

On the other hand, Clutch was just, well Clutch. Although I’m not one of their biggest fans and really, you shouldn’t care that I am, they have always put on a good show. Some of the highlights were “Animal Farm”, “Immortal”, “The House that Peter Built”, as well as a new song called “Sucker for a Witch” from their latest album. You don’t have to be a big Clutch fan to appreciate the musicianship of the band because they are just that talented and once again, they entertained the masses in Chicago.

Review – Opeth At the Riviera Theatre 10/09/16

Going to any live show is a big event, especially when it’s a band you’ve admired and followed for a long time. I’m not overly hard to please, but a lot of acts haven’t lived up to my expectations when they perform. They seem lackadaisical, not interacting with the crowd, or maybe they’re hyped but their music sucks ass. Unfortunately, that’s happened more than I care to remember.

This Metalhead loves her Duran Duran

Let me preface this by saying I’m a big fan of Duran Duran. Ever since I was nine, the eighties version of the fab five ruled my cassette tape recorder as well as my bedroom walls. I recall when Sing Blue Silver came out in 1985 and my mother, who begrudgingly agreed to watch it with me, claimed that Andy Taylor looked high because his eyes were glassy. I argued and cried that they were good guys and that they’d NEVER do any drugs. In my eyes, alcohol was okay because I’d seen my parents drink it after a hard days’ work, but no way could they be into drugs.

Mind as Mirror

The perfect mind is one that has absolute clarity;
it reflects whatever is immediately in front of it
just as it is.
The mirror is void,
bright as moon and still as water.
Mind as mirror is the highest state
of spiritual perfection.
As thoughts come and go,
Show what is there at the moment
and let go as it disappears.
Change is the ultimate reality
and the mind must mirror change.
All sufferings and problems arise
from our seeing what is not there
because we are holding onto what existed in the past
that projects into the present
or what is anticipated in the future
that is not yet here.

Bubble Reflection

Empty Mirror Visualization

Imagine your mind as an empty mirror.
Illuminating as sun and moon,
bright and clear.
Reflecting what is immediately in front of it,
without hiding;
welcoming all,
rejecting none.

This month’s book was…… Dark, Twisted, Unpredictable

Page-turner, Deceitful, Suspenseful…...Absolutely!

Very unlikeable characters……..No doubt about that!

Ending definitely disturbing……Yes! On the other hand..what ending? I turned the page thinking there was another chapter!

Hated The Ending…….. I was disappointed in the ending also.

Plot twists galore…….Yes, yes, yes

Crazy, Sick, Scarey……That it is.

Riveting, Disturbing, Unfulfilling ……….Hmmmm…… unfulfilling……I can see that too.

Kept me reading……..Me too!

What three words would you use to describe Gone Girl?

  1. Page-turner, Deceitful, Suspenseful

Ar first I was really disappointed in the end….now I am thinking that it really does make sense.I hate to say more because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. I would love to talk to you about it!

    • Hi Cathy! i have never seen Dateline, but I certainly appreciate the her side, his side. It seems that you are not alone on the ending. So much to discuss! Have you read any really good books lately?

  11. Kept me reading! I listened to the audio book. The actors did a good job portraying the characters. The plot was very clever up to the ending which I didn’t find very satisfying.

    • Hi Moondance! Yes, it certainly kept me reading. I am sorry that I missed this month’s meeting (due to an out of town wedding). I am hoping to convince someone into writing a post about everyone’s reaction to the book….especially the end!

Spot List

The spot list is similar to the place list and serves the same purposes: spot selection for map editing and information reporting.

The information columns have a content that is similar to the place's:

  • Stops - number of vehicle stops inside the spot over the last six months.
  • Area - spot area in squared kilometers.
  • Coverage - percentage of the spot area that is covered by spots. This value is missing if there are no overlapping places or when more than one place overlaps the spot.
  • Places - number of places that overlap the spot.

Spots are selected using the row's leftmost check mark. A selected spot is displayed on the map and is eligible to be converted to a place.

The Other

At least some of these are the Other.
The sequel to David Fincher's Se7en.
Who nose?

The Other was to be a mysterious and powerful figure from Gallifrey's past who helped form Time Lord society, according to whispered rumors about the ultimate story goal of The Cartmel Masterplan.

Literally Who

Rassilon (Assilon? Bassillon - ah ha!) invented Time Lord society and Omega invented Time Lord technology while The Other invented being a vague ambiguous cunt. He's totally not the Doctor, you guys.

This is much the same information found on Cartmel's page, so why not go read about it there? The Other really didn't need it's own fucking separate page, this isn't Tardis Dildo Corps.

Although he is pretty spooky. Is he a Morbius Doctor? Is he Jesus Christ? Is he Dr. Who? Or is he just too ostentatiously obscure for his own good? DEEPEST LORE.

Oil crash job losses in Texas may be steeper than previously thought

The number of oil and gas job losses in Texas may be far worse than an industry group originally predicted, potentially reaching 56,000, according to the latest analysis by the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers.

When crude prices started collapsing late last year, Karr Ingham, a petroleum economist for the alliance, initially forecast that the state could lose 40,000 to 50,000 upstream oil and gas jobs during the downturn, but the fresh plunge in oil prices over the summer forced additional round of layoffs across Texas.

“We now appear to be well beyond that estimate and the end is not in sight,” Ingham said in a statement Thursday.

He developed the Texas Petro Index, which measures the industry’s health by factoring in production numbers, the number of active drilling rigs and the total number of people employed by oil and gas companies. The index derives its employment data from the Texas Workforce Commission’s monthly employment statistics, which place the number of job losses at 30,000 between December and September.

But those statistics provide a full picture of the number of workers on energy companies’ payrolls, many whom don’t fall into traditional oil and gas classifications, and the numbers often get revised months later.

Another data set issued quarterly by the the commission measuring the state’s employment and wages at the county level found that the industry likely cut 48,000 in the first six months of the year, a staggering figure, Ingham said.

The layoff announcements continued to mount in the third quarter, which means that the state may have lost as many as 56,000 jobs, an estimate that Ingham called conservative.

In all, 279,600 Texans remain employed by oil and gas companies in the state, although those figures may be overstated, Ingham said. That’s down 8.3 percent from the record employment of 305,000 in December, but still substantially higher than the low point of industry employment during the recession in October 2009, when the number of Texans on oil and gas payrolls tumbled to 179,200.

As oil companies continue slashing jobs and idling rigs to save money, the Texas Petro Index slipped again in September to 226.2, down 27 percent from the prior year. Despite rampant cost-cutting, exploration and production firms managed to continue pulling more oil and gas from the ground from the same time a year ago, boosting crude production by 10.5 percent to 104.9 million barrels in September.

Natural gas output swelled by 2.6 percent to 728.5 billion cubic feet.

First Church of Christ, Scientist, Fullerton

Self-Realization Fellowship
142 E. Chapman Avenue

The corner site of this Spanish Colonial Revival building (originally the Christian Science Church) is an important part of the building's dramatic effect. The wings seem to embrace the corner, welcoming visitors. The church is distinguished from other Spanish Colonial Revival buildings by its Churrigueresque relief decoration. Although built in 1920, it was not dedicated until 1929, when a $35,000 debt was finally repaid, in keeping with Christian Science values. The entry was remodeled in the early 1990's to provide handicapped access.

The Three Ps of Musical Taste #1: Purpose (Part 4 of A Wild Theory About the Future of Classical Music)

Photo sourced from Pixabay

So as we continue this series on the future of classical music, we’re trying to get our head around the basic question: why do people like or dislike certain types of music? I suggested in my last post that there seem to be three main factors that come into play as to why people like some music and not others: Purpose, Personal Connection and Pattern Matching.

Screenshot 2017-01-27 at 7.17.10 AM

The three are tightly connected – there might be music that ticks one of those boxes for somebody, but not two of the others. So no one factor by itself is enough to explain why someone likes a certain type of music.

So as you read this post, you may be saying, ‘Well, Purpose might be part of the reason why somebody doesn’t like classical music, but it’s not the whole thing.’ That holds true for any one factor. But understanding them first as separate factors helps us work out some of the different problems that people might have with classical music. Then (hopefully!) when we put all three Ps together, everything will make more sense.

Why Do People Listen to Music?

This first P in the Three Ps of Musical Taste (or Musical Liking, as I often like to call it) is, to me, the most basic one. If a person can’t find a valid purpose for listening to music, then you’re unlikely to make them a fan.

What exactly do I mean by purpose, though?

Well, here’s where things get a bit fuzzy. There is no standardised list out there of ‘Purposes for Listening to Music’. In fact, it’s one of those things that everybody from academics and philosophers likes to debate without necessarily arriving at definitive answers.

Performing Tasks, Intellectual Stimulation and Altering Moods

However, being a pragmatist at heart, I’m mainly interested in how the average person on the street would describe why they choose to listen to a piece of music. So for my money, one of the best summaries of the main reasons people listen to music, came from this article from 2011 in Psychology Today (which got it from an older study from 2007 which sadly has a broken link).

To quote the article:

How is it then that our musical preferences come to reveal our inner thoughts and feelings? The answer is really quite simple, namely that music fulfils three important psychological functions. Indeed, scientific research shows that people listen to music in order to: (a) improve their performance on certain tasks (music helps us combat boredom and achieve our optimal levels of attention while driving, studying or working); (b) stimulate their intellectual curiosity (by concentrating and analysing the music we hear); and, most importantly (c) manipulate or influence their own emotional states with the goal of achieving a desired mood state, e.g., happiness, excitement, and sadness.

So to sum up, we listen to music:

  • To perform tasks better
  • For intellectual curiosity or stimulation
  • To alter or trigger a certain mood

Now as soon as you put it like that, some of the problems we’re facing starting to become clearer. Let me give you an example.

A Musical Example

For this purpose, I decided to go to a normal large-city orchestra and check out their website. The Cleveland Orchestra seemed a good enough example. I then didn’t have to look too far before I found the following concert, which is a great example of the typical sort of classical concert program that symphony orchestras perform around the world.

Screenshot 2017-01-29 at 9.51.28 PM

Because the link will probably be dead if you’re looking at this after the performance in February 2017, The Cleveland Orchestra, conducted by Matthias Pintscher, are performing a concert called Debussy’s La Mer that features the following four works:

SAINT-SAËNS – Piano Concerto No. 5 (“Egyptian”)
SCHOENBERG – Chamber Symphony No. 2

Now, as anyone who works for an orchestra can tell you, a concert like that will divide the audience. There will be, without fail, a number of people grumbling that they come to the concert hall to hear classical music, not nasty modern stuff. (And for those who aren’t sure – on the above program, the Pintscher – if it sounds anything like his previous compositions – and the Schoenberg would be the modern stuff that gets complaints. The Saint-Saëns and the Debussy, meanwhile, are relatively tonal, with big melodic sweeps and crowd-pleasing endings.)

So it will be a program that will please some people overall, but there will be a part of the crowd that only likes bits of it. What does that have to do with Purpose?

The Purpose for Performing

We could get into an endless debate about the merit of the works being performed. But let’s ask a more fundamental question: why are those four pieces in the same concert? Looking at it, what would you say is the artistic reason for presenting those pieces on the same night?

It’s not stated explicitly, but I could hazard a guess. Those four works of music showcase the orchestra’s talent and capability. They are expertly composed (at least the three older works have that reputation). They will demonstrate Maestro Pintscher’s range as a conductor. (And make no mistake, to do four works that broad in one night shows quite a range, indeed.)

So we could list some of the Orchestra’s purposes as:

  • Showcasing great orchestral playing and conducting
  • Presenting brilliantly-composed works of music

The Purpose for Attendance

But let’s swing the microscope round to the audience. What are some of the reasons they might give for attending? Some of them might be:

  • Hearing great orchestral playing and conducting
  • Experiencing brilliantly-composed works of music

Which is awesome – if you are in the audience for that reason, you’re going to love the concert. But there are other reasons the audience might be there. Some other reasons they might give are to hear:

  • Music that makes me happy.
  • Music that I am familiar with.
  • Grand, triumphant music that makes me feel ecstatic.

There are all sorts of reasons and we could make a massive list. But can you start to see the problem? The composer or conductor might be performing the music for the serious purpose of showcasing an orchestra, i.e. the purpose is about the excellence and musicality. But someone watching the show for the feeling and the tunes, they’re not guaranteed to enjoy the experience. Some music which is phenomenal in terms of its composition and musicality can be difficult to appreciate if all you’re after is big tunes and sweeping emotions.

Likewise, there is plenty of music out there that listeners might consider great tunes or emotional mood lifters, which are exceedingly dull to perform and bland in terms of their composition and structure.

A Mismatch of Purpose

In short, we can have a mismatch of purpose. To put it in the same categories of reference as the Psychology Today artilcle, it’s possible that a particular concert experience might be crafted more along the lines of the Intellectual Curiosity purpose, but some members of the audience might be there more for the Manipulating/Influencing Emotions purpose. The end result: you have a certain segment of your audience that doesn’t fully appreciate what you are doing.

None of this is a value judgment about either the musicians’ reasons for performing or the audience’s purposes in listening. None of them are inherently bad reasons. But in conversation we know there is the concept of ‘talking at cross purposes’. I think that can happen in the performing / listening realm as well.

And this can be causing problems with people who like coming to hear an orchestra. Imagine what might be going on with people out there who don’t even like classical music at all?

Coming Up Next on the Topic of Purpose

Hopefully you can see that there could be a lot to be gained by understanding two sets of purposes:

  • The purposes of the audience in listening to classical music in the first place.
  • The purposes of a classical music organisation in presenting certain music in the way it does.

In the next post, I’ll continue on the topic of Purpose and look at the subtle shift in Purpose that has taken place over the last century. I’ll throw out some ideas on how we could use Purpose as a way of categorising audiences. And also – seeing as these posts are about wild theories: could we use the concept of Purpose to attract new audiences?

cheeseburger macaroni

for me, personally, i’d leave off the scallions on top.  kids don’t like them and neither do i for this dish.  🙂

Cheeseburger Macaroni
As seen on Alosha’s Kitchen, from Ezra Pound Cake

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 cups beef (or chicken) broth
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces macaroni
1 cup (4 ounces) cheddar cheese, grated
4 scallions, chopped

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the beef, breaking apart the meat, until it starts to brown and render some of its fat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are soft and the meat cooked through.

Meanwhile, whisk together the broth, mustard, ketchup, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Add to the meat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the macaroni.

Reduce the heat to medium, and cover. Continue cooking for 10 to 12 minutes, until the pasta is tender, stirring every few minutes to make sure the pasta doesn’t stick.

When the macaroni is done, remove skillet from heat and add the grated cheese, stirring until melted. Top each serving with some of the chopped scallion and serve immediately.

so you have a crummy, shady area where the lawn isn’t doing it for you but just don’t know what to do with it?  MAKE A SHADE GARDEN!!! there is a popular belief that you cannot garden without full sunlight.  wrong!  read the article at the link and learn.  i’m doing this, myself.

Bacon Wrapped Cheddar Egg Bites

Bacon Wrapped Cheddar Egg Bites

6 -9 eggs
12 slices bacon
1 cup cheese (I prefer cheddar, but you choose)
1 cup meat (if you want more of a filling)
1 cup vegetables (if you want more of a filling)

1 Preheat oven to 375.
2 Spray muffin tin.
3 Line each spot with a bacon around the edges.
4 Whip all eggs.
5 Mix in cheese and other desired toppings.
6 Evenly pour the egg mix into each spot, filling about 1/2 way (6 eggs for a flatter muffin) or 3/4 way (9 eggs for a taller muffin).

chocolate eclair cake

Chocolate Eclair Cake

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
4 large eggs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 large box (5.1 ounces) vanilla instant pudding
3 cups milk
1 8 oz. container cool whip (you won’t use the whole container) or one batch of homemade whipped cream
chocolate syrup or homemade chocolate sauce

Preheat oven to 400. Lightly grease a 9″X13″ glass baking pan.
Eclair Crust: In a medium saucepan, melt butter in water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in flour. Mix in one egg at a time, mixing completely before adding another egg. Spread mixture into pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly. *If the sides of your pan are too greased you won’t be able to get the mixture to stay up the sides so make sure to just lightly grease.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown (Mine only took 25 minutes.) You may want to check it occasionally-you don’t want to overcook the crust, it will ruin the cake! Remove from oven and let cool (don’t touch or push bubbles down).
Filling: Whip cream cheese in a medium bowl. In separate bowl make vanilla pudding. Make sure pudding is thick before mixing in with cream cheese. Slowly add pudding to cream cheese, mixing until there are no lumps. Let cool in fridge.When the crust is completely cooled, pour filling in. Top with layer of cool whip however thick you want it and serve with chocolate syrup. *If you want to make this even better use homemade whipped cream.

Chili Powder and Chili Seasoning Recipe – Make Your Own In Minutes

Old World Garden Farms

Are you still buying those individual packets of chili seasoning?  Or do you know how long that bottle of chili powder has been sitting in your spice cabinet?  Don’t worry – we used to buy those packets and to be quite honest, I am sure that bottle of chili powder has been in our pantry for at least 2 years. Scary when you think about it….

We all know that you can’t beat the use of fresh ingredients in anything you cook.  But not many people think of making their own chili seasonings.  Fall is the perfect time to gather those last few peppers in your garden and make a spice that you can use throughout the fall and winter.  It is actually quite easy and takes less than 15 minutes.  You can even personalize it and make a couple of versions to adjust the heat level based on your…

According to my wedding planning app I should have begun a beauty regime two weeks ago, allowing myself 6 months of grooming and pruning to turn me into The Most Beautiful Bride of All Time or, at the very least, The Most Beautiful I Have Ever Looked.

I should already be upping my vitamins, supplements and greens (ideally juiced in an £100 piece of equipment) so that my hair, skin and nails glow (glowy nails, really?) on The Big Day. I also should already be inhaling raspberry ketones and going to the gym 5 times a week with a trainer shouting at me. And that hair of mine? I should have decided on the colour/length/style it will be for the wedding and be making every hair-related decision based on that.

I’m refusing to buy into this because, as I’ve written about before, I want to focus on other things – like planning a wedding that is ethical and that people will enjoy, like building a strong foundation for marriage, like being a kind person or doing well at my job in the next few months. Also though, for the reasons I’ll look at in this post particularly.

The wedding beauty industry, as I suggested before, is a blown-up version of the normal beauty industry which is funded by and founded on the lie that ‘you are not enough’ but that you will be if you do/buy such-and-such a thing…only until, however, you come across another part of you that is not enough and realise you have become a hamster in a spinning wheel. Knowing myself and the difficulty I already find in refusing to see myself as a project to work on, I’m working extra hard to now allow myself to see myself and my physical appearance on our wedding day as a project.

This is also a good idea because of the money involved in working on myself as a 6-month project. Teeth whitening, personal trainers, regular manicures, trims at the salon every month, a new skin-care regimen, testing expensive make-up so I know what I want…sheesh. We’d like to have some money for groceries when we get back from honeymoon, thankyouverymuch.

The possible paradox in this is that OF COURSE I want to look good for our wedding and I really enjoy make-up, thinking about hair, etc… Wedding aside, I’m a total “girly-girl”. I’m super excited about picking a hair style and getting my make-up done by a pro. I have been working out more because I know I feel and look better when I’m active. My dress is the bee’s knees and the shoes my bridal party & I are wearing will be so fetch.

I’m convinced though that there’s a way to be excited about these things without making myself into a project, and I think a lot of it has to do with being literate in how the wedding industry communicates. And also in keeping an eye on my purse.

On that particular topic, here are three verrry cheap, verrry effective beauty solutions that I have found work well and that I think brides (and everyone else) should get in on to combat this crazy monster (Bridezilla?! How about WeddingIndustryIlla? I know it doesn’t sound as good, but…)

1. Teeth whitening

Yep, we are all slightly nervous about the amount of time we’ll be spending posing. I’m anticipating a Miss Congeniality “let me unscrew my smile” moment. And white teeth are lovely, obviously. The main ingredient in most of the whitening products you’ll find on the shelves or in the dentist’s chair is hydrogen peroxide.

Get yourself some. 3% maximum. Put a tbsp of it in your mouth, swish it around for a minute, and spit it out. (Don’t swallow, it’s gross – but the 3% isn’t enough to poison you.) Do this once a week and you’ll notice your pearly whites and pearlier and whiter than ever. Add bicarbonate of soda to the mix (make it into a paste and put it onto your teeth with a cotton bud) for an extra boost, but don’t get it on your gums.

2. Mud

I had problematic skin for a few years (surprisingly, after I turned 19) and didn’t feel comfortable without a good dose of Estee Lauder’s DoubleWear. No more, hooray! This little miracle saved my skin. It’s Dead Sea mud that lathers up into a nice white chemical-free foam that will make your skin feel like it’s being given a big warm hug. It restored my oil balance, cleared my pores and gives me a lovely glow that means I’m OK on my own, Estee, and I’m not worried about wedding day skin problems!

3. Getting buff

Ok, that’s misleading. I don’t want to be buff, today or when I get married or ever, really. But there is MUCHO chat about glowy skin for weddings (because apparently we all want people to say ‘the bride was glowing’ – that’s the number one comment we’re aiming for, brides…remember that but also remember that no one likes a shiny forehead so why have you not bought your face blotting sheets yet?!) Instead of investing in the Clarisonic Face Brush that beauty gurus love or going for countless spa treatments before your big day (or just ever), have a wee poke around your kitchen cupboard and pull out the bicarb/baking powder. Mix it in with some coconut oil and rub it onto your skin (this works really well on your face as well as your body). Bye-bye dead skin cells, hello bright smooth skin, thanks for staying £20 note!

Over to you: how do we get excited about wedding days, enjoy sparkly things, take care of ourselves however we see fit without buying into the beauty industry’s lie that we are not enough as we are (and that we should be ready to spend whatever it takes on making us enough)?

This FAQ attempts to clear up confusion around terminating a batch file running within a DOS terminal on a Windows machine. This pertains to GenRocket because, when you run a GenRocket command, you are technically running a batch process which you have the ability to terminate before it's completion, should you choose to do so.

Once a command is launched from the GenRocket batch command, the user may terminate the command by pressing Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break.  Once the termination is initiated, the DOS command interpreter presents the user with the option to terminate the batch with either a Y or N option.  The actions of either or these options are the following:

  • N - the cmd interpreter will skip the current command and proceed to the next command in the batch file.

  • Y - the cmd interpreter will  abort execution of the batch file and return to DOS prompt.

Exclusive Definition

Given options A, B, C... at most one option may be true or all must be false.  Exclusive is a bi-directional constraint.

Based on the given balance within a user's combined accounts (Savings, Checking, Credit Card and Building Loan), the user will be granted certain rewards. However, the balance of the credit card may not exceed 100,000.

Who are the actors for our story?

  • Balance: The object triggers the reward level
  • Product: The object attempting to receive the reward

Test Cases

What are the test cases necessary to define in order to cover all exit points?

  1. Small Balance < 10,000 - If balance is less than 10000, then no rewards.
  2. Medium Balance >= 10,000 and < 100,000  - If balance is greater than or equal to 10000 and less than 100000, then no annual fees.
  3. Large Balance > 100,000 - If balance is greater than 100000, then no annual fees and 2% increase in the interest rate.

Variables & States

What are the variables needed to check our test cases, and for each variable, what states are needed?

  • balance
    • Large
    • Medium
    • Small
  • product
    • Checking
    • Savings
    • Credit Card

This is a MD iMAP hosted service. Find more information on TW_ContactRec feature class is the official geospatial record depicting water contact recreation areas that have been assessed (for the Integrated Report (IR)) in Maryland's tidal waters. This feature class also provides information on whether the waters are designated 'bathing beaches'. Since water contact recreational waters are assessed on such a variable scale, this feature class was developed with point geometry. As a result, points represent the general location of these assessed waters. In the case of beaches, a point generally represents the center of a bathing beach. For other recreational waters the point may represent the boundary or the centroid of the assessed waters. Please be sure to review additional IR information for a better description of the spatial extent of the assessment. Disclaimer: This feature class is not an authoritative source for the location of beaches. Nor should the information contained herein be solely used by swimmers/bathers to determine if their beach is safe for swimming. Instead, swimmers/bathers should consult MDE's Beaches website to get more up-to-date information on the safety of swimming at beaches.

Economy Niue
Economy - overview:
The economy suffers from the typical Pacific island problems of geographic isolation, few resources, and a small population. Government expenditures regularly exceed revenues, and the shortfall is made up by critically needed grants from New Zealand that are used to pay wages to public employees. Niue has cut government expenditures by reducing the public service by almost half. The agricultural sector consists mainly of subsistence gardening, although some cash crops are grown for export. Industry consists primarily of small factories to process passion fruit, lime oil, honey, and coconut cream. The sale of postage stamps to foreign collectors is an important source of revenue. The island in recent years has suffered a serious loss of population because of emigration to New Zealand. Efforts to increase GDP include the promotion of tourism and a financial services industry, although the International Banking Repeal Act of 2002 resulted in the termination of all offshore banking licenses. Economic aid from New Zealand in 2002 was US$2.6 million. Niue suffered a devastating typhoon in January 2004, which decimated nascent economic programs. While in the process of rebuilding, Niue has been dependent on foreign aid.

Hi, I have two twitter accounts, one is my personal account (lawlz*itz*mollz), the othe...

GetHuman1911833's customer service issue with Twitter from January 2019

The issue in GetHuman1911833's own words
Hi, I have two twitter accounts, one is my personal account (lawlz*itz*mollz), the other is an account which I use to share quotes from my mother, who is hilarious, you can look it up for entertainment, its @ma*ridgequotes, which I originally started with my sister. I recently bought a new phone, I remembered my personal twitter account password because its my own. However, for ma*ridgequotes, I originally created that with my sister, so its using her email (which she no longer has access to), and has some obscure password created by her (she's not the best at creating or remembering passwords, and no longer uses twitter of any sorts). Anyway, I got my new phone and was able to log into my personal twitter because all of the information is my own. I tried logging into my mom's quote account, and cannot remember which password my sister and I used, I tried all of our go-to's, and none of them worked. I've tried multiple times resetting my password, but my sister no longer has access to her email we used, so we can't get into that email to reset it. I tried multiple times to reset the password using another email, but was highly dissatisfied by the process, during which I was told I could not submit until all fields were filled out, and the missing fields were highlighted in red, but there were NO visual fields left, never mind highlighted. My uncle specifically, my mom's friends*family, and my friends are lost without this account. I used to go onto her twitter page during my finals week to make me feel better and get a laugh, and advise many of my friends and cousins to do the same, but they cannot get any more laughs if there is no new content. If we are not able to work this issue, we will be forced to move our business to instagram. As discussed with our top fan, my uncle mike, we could'nt create a new twitter account, it would have to all be together. Therefore, we would have to transition over to Instagram. I hope you understand our dilemma. Anyway, I am a huge supporter of twitter, have been for a while, my personal account remains very active, and I appreciate the content of twitter. However, if we are not able to come to some resolution of this issue, I will have no choice but to transfer our content to instagram. I would appreciate if it did not need to come to this. Thank you so much for your time, I would truly appreciate your help. Best, Molly Ridge, creater*founder of MA*RidgeQuotes twitter page.

What lies before me

Here we are at another 1st and this time it’s the first of May…

Ooops! This is what happens when good intentions get waylaid and a person gets laid low by a hideous migraine.

But I’m back, albeit a little overdue, which means it’s time for another Calendar Challenge…

There are the obvious ‘lush’ perspectives here (although in the last few days, I have never felt less like a drink in my life). There’s the social glue of getting together with friends and putting the world to rights. The importance of a cracking red with a new ‘local’ pizza at the end of countless moving-house-again days. The virtual Cheers! across the miles with Lil Chicky via WhatsApp or Facebook. In fact, the sheer necessity of such an indulgence if one is to have a balanced outlook on life.

And this brings me to an important point, one which a friend and I were discussing a few weeks back over…you guessed it…a bottle of red. We have both come to realise that, at this point (we are in our mid-forties), we are at about the halfway point in our lifetimes. (All going according to the statistics of course – as an Aussie sheila, it’s expected I’ll be popping my clogs at 85.6.)

Anyway, it made for some interesting discussion about what we would do and in fact what the world would be like for the next 40 years or so. Will our jobs still exist and if they do, what are the chances of us wanting to do them? And for how long? Where will we live? What things will we do to inform, amuse, educate, indulge ourselves? How do we shape the years that stretch ahead of us before they shape us? How much planning do we do and how much should we leave to serendipity, chance or spontaneous gut feeling?

I have no answers, this being a new and slightly unsettling line of thought for me. My life right now feels really full and fabulous, like the work of the last 44 years has come to fruition and given me the life I always dreamed of. Even so, I found myself picking up Investors Chronicle magazine with my Saturday paper this morning and over the last week or so ‘google writing courses’ keeps popping up on my mental to-do list. And I swear there’s that brine-y cloying smell of the sea in my future somewhere.

It’s not that I’m racing off into the wild blue yonder – breaking the glass in an emergency so to speak – with any of this yet but this recent twist of the kaleidoscope has made me wonder what would make me happiest in my future and how I give myself the wherewithal to be there, wherever there turns out to be.

My move to the UK was driven by that deep-down feeling in my gut that this was what was right and next in my life. And it was sudden so it makes me wonder what the next catalyst for change in life as I know it will be. I sincerely hope it won’t be anything tragic. Perhaps it will just sneak up surreptitiously, moving me along a gentler path until suddenly I look around and say, ‘Aah yes, this is exactly where I am meant to be.’

Life has a funny way of showing us a path when we least expect it but to my way of thinking, I need to take a few more steps off the beaten track and forage about in the undergrowth a bit to understand what I might really like to have in my future.

Who knows what I might find.
