Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow
Down, the legendary side project jumpstarted a decade ago by heavy metal luminaries Philip Anselmo and Pepper Keenan (of Pantera and Corrosion of Conformity, respectively), is no longer an experimental, smoke-'em-if-you-got-'em musical one-shot. The good ol' boys from the teeming morass of New Orleans have decided to "Hail the Leaf" once again with the release of Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow — their much-anticipated follow-up to NOLA, one of the heaviest metal albums to come out in the '90s.
Considering how incessantly fresh the sustain-heavy, dirge-like riffs on NOLA were, the expectations for Down II would naturally (and unfairly) be as high as the band was when they hunkered down for 28 days in a barn outside New Orleans to record their second album. Featuring Anselmo and Rex Brown (also of Pantera), Keenan, Crowbar's Kurt Windstein, and Eyehategod's Jimmy Bower, Down cranks out another heavy bevy of head-bobbing grooves with choice cuts such as "There's Something on My Side," "Beautifully Depressed," and "The Seed" — sparking the intense rock smokeout with the lurching opener "Lysergik Funeral Procession."
More skilled and ambitious than any mere stoner metal band, the supergroup introduces Farfisa organs, Dobro guitars, and timpani in an attempt to rise above that limiting metal label; and they pepper the album with several mellow tracks that belie the straightforward, no-frills approach upon which Down built its legend. Songs such as "Stained Glass Cross," "Learn From This Mistake," and "Where I'm Goin" are well constructed, but make Down II sound like the heavy metal equivalent of an Allman Brothers Band album.
I reckon Down is striving for growth and parity in their sophomore effort — a feat most rock bands attempt after a successful debut. That's not necessarily a bad thing; it's just hard to appreciate this album's mature metal MO when I still have the thick, cumbrous riffs of NOLA's "Bury Me in Smoke" rumbling in my head. — Albert A. Lopez
Medeski Martin and Wood
(CD, Blue Note Records)
If jazz trio Medeski Martin and Wood were ever in danger of being co-opted by the jam band crowd (as it seemed for a spell, with their live shows pushing all the right tie-dyed buttons), the group's new Blue Note release serves as a definitive assertion that it ain't gonna happen. Yeah, a headful of white-boy dreadlocks could definitely bob to these rhythms, but the fellas have clearly decided not to milk that angle.
Instead, they're pushing their unique mixture of soul jazz, funk, and avant sounds into new territory (or, at least, further into territory they've reconnoitered in the past). Inviting no fewer than three turntablists along for the ride, the ensemble incorporates scratching on over half the tracks — and rather than just plop down a track of virtuosic tricks, these deejays are serious about their roles as participants in a jazz ensemble, integrating their solos tightly with the rest of the group. Elsewhere, the bandmates enlist an assortment of multi-culti percussionists.
Elsewhere on the record, the trio proffers atmospheres that are a little gloomier than the jam crowd tends to want, laying down cool, thick textures instead of easily-hummable melodies. Much more than a mere evolution of the Jimmy Smith soul-jazz sound, the trio has figured out how to use an instrument (the organ and its cousins) that carries the burden of a lot of preconceptions, in a way that's fresh and exciting. Even if you can dance to it. — John DeFore
Hoagy Carmichael and Friends Stardust Melody (CD, Bluebird Jazz/RCA Victor) Stardust Melody: Beloved and Rare Songs of Hoagy Carmichael with Richard Sudhalter, Barbara Lea, Bob Dorough, Jim Ferguson
He may not have quite the name recognition of George or Ira Gershwin or Cole Porter, but Hoagy Carmichael's Tin Pan Alley-era tunes are almost certainly lodged in your head: Ray Charles made "Georgia on My Mind" famous, Willie reinvented "Stardust." What's more, Gershwin never got to share a screen with Lauren Bacall (as Hoagy did in To Have and Have Not).
Two new discs compile the composer/singer's hits and rare tunes. Confusingly, they're both called Stardust Melody — not such a startling coincidence, considering that both were produced by Richard Sudhalter, author of a new biography by the same name.
Bluebird's release collects recordings from the '20s through the '40s, with nearly a dozen tracks featuring Carmichael, and others showcasing singers such as Mildred Bailey, Louis Armstrong, and Ethel Waters. It's a terrific, varied collection that offers authoritative renditions of some tunes while presenting alternate approaches to the best-known songs. Check out the composer's solo piano rendition of "Star Dust": He starts it in the stately manner with which we're familiar, but halfway through he breaks it down, tearing off on jazzy riffs in every direction.
The A-Records' project is freshly recorded, and it's nice to hear a project envisioned as an album, especially when one's only exposure to somebody's work is through random 78s issued over a period of decades. The disc leans toward easy listening more than some might like, but the musicianship is strong and tasteful — you can imagine this getting played in a lot of cafés that wouldn't typically play the crusty original recordings. Yet, the album loses that "lite" feel whenever Bob Dorough steps up to the mike; his quirky vocal approach embodies the sly character Carmichael himself projected in his film appearances. The contrast is especially notable on "Star Dust," where he follows a honey-dipped duet by Jim Ferguson and Barbara Lea — the Red Headed Stranger may want to watch his back. — John DeFore

When attempting to create a relationship class where the connected user does not own both the origin and destination tables or feature classes, the following error message is displayed:
Error: Failed to create the specific relationship class. Must be the owner to perform this operation.
As of ArcGIS 10, the geodatabase no longer allows the creation of relationship classes between tables or feature classes not owned by the connected user. This also applies to the creation of feature-linked annotation and attachments, both of which use relationship classes.
This change was made in order to block the ability for one user to create a relationship class using a table/feature class owned by another user. This action could, in turn, prevent other users from accessing the feature class in question, since they do not have permissions on the related data.

A Simple Tip - Merge DWF Files
Sometimes it is the simple things that seem so powerful. I just upgraded to Design Review 2008 as part of my plan to standardize on a single filetype for plotting. While looking for ways to combine drawings on a project I stumbled across the ability to merge DWF files. How cool! Simply selecting two dwf files in Windows explorer, and then right clicking my mouse presented the "Merge" command. The result is that I now have a simple way to combine multiple files into a single master file.

1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
But there was so much more to the game than that. You could simply wonder around Skyrim’s lush forests or snowy hills, enjoying the beautiful landscapes, or deal with a bandit leader that was pestering the locals. Or you could join the battle-hardened Companions, a group of warriors in the city of Whiterun, and battle for the greater good. But just as rewarding was bargaining with the cat-like Khajit merchants for better equipment and hearing their stories about their home province of Elsweyr. This is a game that offered hundreds of hours of gameplay, and unlike more recent games such as Dragon Age: Inquisition, there was no filler or grinding and all the activities were just fun.
And despite being released in 2011, the game is still being played to this day, mainly thanks to the bustling PC modding community. Plenty of user mods have been released that add new quests, characters, make the game prettier, or are just plain crazy. And given Skyrim’s dedicated fan base and longevity it is not surprising that many consider it the best role-playing game ever.

A DIGITAL MIRAGE
The holographic light of the lucid dream of an outlawed machine has created this mirage, a vision that sails through light bending shapes and colours in its wake, a tsunami of pixels that caresses the senses and pumps adrenaline into the soul with its visual excesses. Time speeds up as it passes through its fine threads of elastic energy, the world falls silent before its exotic androgynous beauty. Life is made of small visions: mirages that, like cobblestones, form a multicoloured ground that saves us from falling into the abyss of darkness and despair.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It didn't take the Kickoff Classic long to get over losing Michigan.
Less than 24 hours after the Wolverines backed out of the game because of a problem finding an opponent, the Kickoff Classic revised the game plan and announced that Penn State and Southern California would meet in the traditional opener to the college football season.
Bob Vecchione, the associate executive director of the National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors, which runs the game, said the organization never stopped working on the matchup even after Michigan tenatively agreed to play in the Aug. 27 game at Giants Stadium.
"You never have a game until two teams agree to play," he said. "So while we talked to Michigan, we also talked to Penn State and Virginia Tech. In the end, Penn State stepped up and said they were willing to play and Southern California stepped up and said they wanted to play."
The result is the first rematch in the 18-year history of the game. The teams also met in 1996 with Penn State winning 24-7.
Michigan's decision not to play in the game came just days after athletic director Tom Goss announced his resignation. His 2´-year stay was marked by a budget deficit, a stadium controversy and the suspension of the basketball team's leading scorer.
Penn State is coming off a 10-3 season and a convincing 24-0 Alamo Bowl victory over Texas A&M. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 11 after a year in which they climbed as high as No. 2 before suffering three losses by a total of a dozen points in November.
Southern California, which was 6-6, finished strong last season by winning its last three games. It snapped an eight-game losing streak to cross-town rival UCLA and defeated No. 25 Louisiana Tech. The Trojans' promising 2-0 start fizzled when starting quarterback Carson Palmer went out with a broken collarbone.
"USC will be a tough assignment to open the season and we expect to have our hands full," coach Joe Paterno said in a statement.
Penn State is expected to return nine starters, seven on offense, including two from New Jersey -- quarterback Rashard Casey of Hoboken, who led the Big Ten in passing efficiency (153.94), and halfback Eric McCoo of Red Bank, who led the team in rushing with 739 yards.
USC coach Paul Hackett was looking forward to Southern California's third appearance in the Kickoff Classic.
"What a great way for Trojan football to start the new millennium," he said. "It will be a thrill for our players, coaches and fans to travel to Giants Stadium and showcase USC football to the East Coast."
Southern California returns 15 starters from 1999, including 10 on defense (all but the strong safety) and five on offense, plus the punter and kicker. The offense will be led by Palmer, a sophomore who is already 15th on USC's career passing list.
This will be a record fourth Kickoff Classic appearance for Penn State.
Besides USC, Penn State lost to Nebraska 44-6 in the inaugural game and defeated defending national champion Georgia Tech 34-22 in 1991. USC defeated Syracuse 34-16 in the 1990 game.
Penn State leads the overall series, which dates to the 1923 Rose Bowl, 4-3.
Last year, Miami defeated Ohio State 23-12 in Kickoff Classic XVII.
Penn State and USC will each receive a minimum guaranteed payout of $650,000.

A social media page called ‘Punjab Police Entertainment’ has attempted to tarnish the image of women police officers and personnel by sharing their photos and videos without permission. The page has shared photos and videos of women officers from Punjab and other states, and many lewd comments have been made on them. Several women officers have strongly objected to this, and some officers whose photos and videos have been used are not even aware of it. SSP Hoshiarpur Sartaj Singh Chahal has stated that he was not aware of this matter, but he will instruct his social media cell to block the page. It is unacceptable to use photos of women police officers in this manner without their consent.

A set of six nested stories spanning time between the 19th century and a distant post-apocalyptic future. Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future. Based on the award winning novel by David Mitchell. Directed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis.

Everything is connected: an 1849 diary of an ocean voyage across the Pacific; letters from a composer to his lover; a thriller about a conspiracy at a nuclear power plant; a farce about a publisher in a nursing home; a rebellious clone in futuristic Korea; and the tale of a tribe living on post-apocalyptic Hawaii far in the future.

There can be little doubt that Cloud Atlas will become a classic that will be watched over and over again by its devoted followers, just like its predecessors by Stanley Kubrick and Ridley Scott. Despite the many questions I had in my mind when I left the theater and the moments during the film when I felt disappointed or confused, I knew this, and I have not stopped thinking about the movie and longing to be back in front of the screen.nnIt is easy to criticize this movie as some have done for being overly ambitious, pandering to low taste, being too simple or too complex, with too few actors or too many, or even for celebrating revenge violence against professional critics who write negative reviews. They may all be correct, but these critics will still put themselves in the same category as those that warned audiences against 2001 or Blade Runner. The truth is that Cloud Atlas is profound in its reach, its visual and acoustic impact, its mesmerizing flow and its completely ground-breaking storytelling, and movie goers will see it and feel it in their guts. nnIt is a movie that is a product of our age of internet-driven universal knowledge and vision, and the freedom we have to travel the world and jump between ages, genres, images and identities at our will. It reminds us that we are human and that we can still hear our heart beat, if we listen.

Dialysis nurses work in a fast-paced environment, supervising technicians who care for patients suffering from kidney failure.
At a larger clinic such as DaVita’s in St. Louis Park, each nurse is responsible for up to 14 patients at a time. Patient care technicians do most of the direct care, taking patients’ weights and pre-treatment vital signs and monitoring the dialysis equipment and patients’ blood pressure during each treatment, which may last three to six hours. Nurses perform patient assessments, administer medication and intervene as patients’ needs arise, according to Kaylene Krauter, RN, a nurse at that clinic.
Krauter, who previously worked at a kidney transplant clinic, trained for dialysis on the job. She currently works a rotating schedule, either Monday-Wednesday-Friday or Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday.
“Either way we put in about 12 hours a day,” Krauter explains. “We always need help so we always have the opportunity to pick up hours.”
While the pace is challenging, Krauter enjoys the patients. “They’re there three days a week, so you get to know them pretty well,” she explains. “When they’re feeling good, you know you’re doing a good job.”
That much patient contact may pose its own challenges, according to Lynne Hamilton, RN, clinic manager at Fresenius Dialysis in St. Paul. “There sometimes can be boundary issues,” Hamilton says. “Sometimes they treat you like a family member and they can vent their anger at you, and it’s not intentional.”
Hospital Experience Counts
Nurses with hospital experience have an easier time adjusting to the dialysis environment, according to Hamilton, a 33-year veteran. “There's a lot of independent thinking,” she says. “You have to be confident in your nursing assessment skills, because unlike the hospitals, we do not have a physician here every day. Plus, you have to be comfortable working with equipment and able to interpret what’s going on with the patient and what's going on with the machine. And you have to multitask effectively.”
Physicians visit only once or twice a month, and must rely on nurses’ assessments. “It’s a cohesive relationship,” Hamilton says. “They listen to your recommendations.”
Pay for dialysis nurses is commensurate with hospital nurses’ pay in the Twin Cities. The current job outlook may be tight, but Krauter believes there’s a good future in dialysis. “There’s always going to be kidney failure so there’s always going to be a need for it,” she says.

Have You Considered Studying Performing Arts Law?
- Student Tips
The world of the performing arts is entertaining, creative, enriching and beautiful. But this world doesn’t exist on its own. There are many forces at work which help artists, performers and other creative types do what they do. One significant factor in sustaining the performing arts industry? The law. Let’s take a closer look at the intersection of law and the performing arts, along with highlighting a few reasons to pursue law studies in this fascinating and fulfilling area.
What are the Performing Arts?
According to UNESCO, “The performing arts range from vocal and instrumental music, dance and theatre to pantomime, sung verse and beyond. They include numerous cultural expressions that reflect human creativity and that are also found, to some extent, in many other intangible cultural heritage domains.”
While the performing arts are, indeed, diverse, they share one overarching thing in common: Unlike movies, television and the recording industry, they’re typically performed in front of a live audience. And much like the entertainment industry at large, legal issues do arise along the way. Enter performing arts law.
The Performing Arts and Copyright Law
One of the most important aspects of performing arts law pertains to copyright laws. Simply put, copyrights protect original works of authorship from prohibited or unauthorized use. While musicians are most likely to be victims of copyright infringement, it can occur across the full spectrum of the performing arts.
Consider Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway smash Hamilton. You’ve been living under a rock if you’ve somehow managed to miss the mega-buzz over this hip-hop rock opera based on America’s founding fathers. The show was sold-out for months; took home 11 Tonys and a Grammy in 2016; and at its heyday commanded an average resale ticket price of $1,300.
But Hamilton would never have come to be -- at least not in its current incarnation -- without copyright laws. In creating Hamilton, Miranda pulled heavily from both the musical theater and hip-hop cannons, paying homage to everything from The Pirates of Penzance to the Notorious B.I.G. with his innovative lyrics. But why was Miranda spared from being prosecuted for these “references” while Pharrell was penalized for doing a similar thing when he “borrowed” from Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up” for “Blurred Lines?”
As pointed out by intellectual property litigator Lawrence Iser in a piece he penned for Forbes, the difference largely comes down to copyright law. Says Iser of Miranda’s artistic process, “When drawing on inspiration, [Miranda] gave credit where credit is due. When copying a lyric, he asked for and received permission. And when necessary, he obtained a license (a license called a “Grand Rights” license is required to use another’s musical composition in a stage play). Not only are none of Miranda’s sources of inspiration or lyrics suing Miranda, they are lining up to praise him (and presumably for tickets).” In other words, Miranda was protected because he honored the laws protecting the people and works he drew upon when writing Hamilton.
But Hamilton is just one of many examples of the intersection of copyright law and the performing arts -- beginning from the millisecond an idea is conceived and continuing throughout all of its performances until a work enters the public domain.
A Rapidly Growing Field
While performing arts lawyers have always been in demand for their services pertaining to everything from royalty issues to libel and slander, the evolution of technology is presenting new challenges and opportunities -- especially in the area of copyright law.
As intellectual property specialist Dr. Eleonora Rosati told The Guardian, “IP law, particularly copyright, has boomed over the past few years. The most innovative companies are all heavily IP-focused, and in the creative and technological sectors in particular, the understanding and enforcement of copyright have become key to the growth of certain businesses….A student who wishes to acquire commercial awareness would find the study of copyright law extremely useful for his or her professional development.”
In fact, more than 50 top London law firms now specialize in intellectual property, with plenty of other in-house opportunities available, as well, according to The Guardian. And while many of these are tech-based, others focus on the performing arts.
Real-World Applications in the Creative World
When many people think of careers in law, the word “stuffy” comes to mind. And while there’s no arguing that in order to be a good lawyer you need foundational knowledge of the law (some of which will, inevitably, be “stuffy”), many of those who choose to study performing arts law do so because the practice of performing arts law is very much rooted in the real world. As one recent graduate told The Guardian, “My studies gave me an awareness of why the law should be appreciated by all, not just lawyers.”
For people who are creatively inclined, meanwhile, working in this field means unique immersion in the performing arts world in the form of opportunities to work with everyone from choreographers and composers to ballet dancers and Broadway producers.
And of course, many top law schools are located in or in close proximity to performing arts meccas, with schools like the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, Brooklyn Law School and Fordham University School of Law offering programs for students interested in pursuing law careers specializing in entertainment and/or performing arts law.
Will you be working alongside the next Lin-Manuel Miranda as he brings his genius to life on stage? As a lawyer in this field, you won’t just be practicing law, but you’ll be playing an important role in supporting the visionary work of the world’s next generation of performing artists and creative innovators.

TOPEKA — State universities will get more of their money from tuition than from taxation for the first time, following a round of tuition increases Thursday.
The Legislature is providing $567 million to the six state universities for the 2012 budget year, while tuition is estimated to generate $591 million, officials reported at Thursday's Board of Regents meeting.
Unhappy regents voted unanimously to raise tuition by 4 to 6.9 percent at state universities.
They said they are concerned about keeping higher education affordable, but tuition hikes are the only way to maintain the quality of the university system in the face of dwindling state funding.
"The state of Kansas has decided — just not last year or the year before, but over the last 15 years — that we're not going to fund higher education like we did in the past," said Regent Dan Lykins of Topeka. "It's going to have to come from someplace else."
Regents were particularly smarting over cuts handed down by the Legislature this spring.
The board's vice president of finance and administration, Diane Duffy, outlined the problem Thursday.
"The state general fund reduction was roughly $10.7 million and the budgeted increases were nearly $13.2 million," she said, adding that the spending increases are mostly unavoidable.
"The (increase in) group health insurance alone is $10.5 million," Duffy said.
The tuition hike is expected to generate about $26 million — $2 million more than the amount needed to cover cuts and mandatory spending increases, she said.
Increases for resident undergraduate tuition range from 4 percent at Kansas State and Fort Hays State universities to 6.9 percent at Emporia State.
Other increases: Wichita State, 6 percent; Pittsburg State, 6.8 percent; and University of Kansas main campus, 6.2 percent.
Impact of hike
The board's action will increase undergraduate tuition at Wichita State University from $2,361 a semester to $2502.75, a difference of $141.75.
Those are the official numbers, but the out-of-pocket impact on WSU students will be more.
Last year, the university used some of its federal stimulus money to offset tuition increases approved for 2010. That money's gone now.
The stimulus subsidy last year was $5.50 a credit hour, university officials said.
A student carrying the standard course load of 15 credit hours will pay this year's increase, plus $82.50 from the lost stimulus subsidy, plus an increase of $9.75 in mandatory student fees for a total increase of $234 a semester.
WSU President Don Beggs said the university is putting more money into scholarships "so we can keep quality students in Kansas."
Students and parents expressed frustration and helplessness in the face of the increases.
"I lost my job two weeks ago and I don't get unemployment because I'm in school," said Michelle Wheeler of Andover, a WSU student. She's a divorced mother and hasn't been able to find a scholarship for someone in her situation. She said students had to enroll for the fall back in April with no idea how much tuition would be.
"I think a lot of people will have to drop classes," she said, adding that her nephews were going to start out at a community college because it's cheaper.
In her situation, she said, "What are you going to do? You're halfway through your degree."
Kari O'Halloran, who will have a freshman and a senior at K-State this fall, had a similar reaction.
"What are you going to do about it? Your kids have to go to college," she said.
"They're getting out of college with debt, but how can you go to college without having debt? They have to have education to have a job."
At the University of Kansas, about 65 percent of undergraduates won't have to pay the tuition increase because of a unique compact program. Under it, incoming freshmen can agree to pay higher tuition up front but are guaranteed it won't rise for four years.
The final cost works out about the same, but KU officials say it makes planning easier for students and insulates them from unexpected increases.
Reactions to cuts
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, said the criticism directed at the Legislature is misplaced.
"Regents received $753 million for 2011. For 2012, they receive $744 million, plus $10 million for engineering programs, as requested," Rhoades said in a written response to Eagle questions. "In a tough year, no one received as much as they wanted."
Regents officials said the $744 million Rhoades cited represents money to fund the entire regents system, not just the universities.
In addition to the $567 million in general fund support for the six state universities, the larger figure covers state support to 19 community colleges, 11 technical schools and Washburn University, which receives some state money.
"Three years ago, $100 million was cut from higher education and we never got that back," Lykins said. "This year we got another cut.... The question is, who should pay when the state is not paying? And they aren't going to pay. We've heard from the budget director, (for) the next five years, higher education is going to have a flat budget. We're not going to get any raises."
Regent Christine Downey-Schmidt said the only choice was to raise tuition.
"It seems like we used to have a partner in this process and they have left," she said of the Legislature. "I wish we didn't have to do this. We've looked at other options, we've pushed for efficiencies, we've advocated with legislators, but this is the option we have left until our partners come back."
Rhoades, however, said increasing tuition is "a regrettable decision" by the regents and he doesn't think they've tapped the full potential of cost cuts that could be made.
"The KU chancellor said recently, in addition to increases in health insurance and utilities, one reason for increasing tuition would be for raises to top faculty," Rhoades said. "Higher ed tuition and fees outpace the consumer price index nearly four to one — more than increases in food, housing and medical care. Why is that?
"Businesses are forced to do with less and find efficiencies. Right now a lot of Kansans would just love to have a job, let alone one with health insurance and a raise."
Sen. Jean Schodorf, R-Wichita, chairwoman of the Senate Education Committee, said that when she started in the Legislature in 2001, the rule of thumb was that a state should fund its universities about 75 percent from general funds and 25 percent from tuition.
At the time, Kansas was about 60-40. She said at one point, it reached 64-36 before economic conditions forced the state to reduce its support and rely more on tuition.
Now that it's 51 percent tuition to 49 percent state support, "that's huge," she said.
"I understand their frustration," she said. "I'm frustrated. I can understand how hopeless it looks."
But she said there's not much the state can do about it when revenue is down because of the recession.
"To me, it's not because the state just wants to slash universities," she said. "We've slashed everything. It (this session) was the hardest year I've ever had and everybody else had because of the revenue cuts. There are no bells and whistles or tricks that we were able to do in the past. It was just cutting programs because we couldn't find the money."

Felling Male Voice Choir continued to attract International stars to their events.
This was also the case in 1985 when contralto Margaret Duckworth was the guest artist at the Annual Concert in April 1985. She had performed Bach’s “St Matthew Passion” in the Berlin Philharmonie with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
The choir were conducted by Chris Wiltshire and Colin Short. They sang a diverse and exciting programme ranging from “Tiger, Tiger”, “Hodie”, “The Ballad of Little Musgrave”, “Grief” to “Scarborough Fair” and “Rhythm of Life”.

Lawrie Williamson was born in Scotland in 1932. He was educated in Derbyshire and at the age of sixteen won a major exhibition to study at the Nottingham College of Art. This was followed by Nottingham University and L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. The subjects for his paintings vary widely, drawn from a wealth of experience and observation. The one common factor is light. A trotter on the beach, a landscape, a beery pub interior - each painting is filled with a light of its own which remains undimmed even in a darkening room. Twice winner of the Stanley Grimm prize as well as the Corenellisen prize at the Annual Exhibition of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, also the Canson Prize at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, he paints predominantly in oils but also in watercolours and pastels.

All we want is some good weather...
A month or so ago, Larissa got a call from Galla, a friend who had just returned from two weeks in Xocta. We decided to follow Galla's example and act fast to escape the St Petersburg cold to the Sochi warmth, going from the Gulf of Finland to the Black Sea... so as to get two more weeks of summer!
Hard work to leave the city...
Travel by train or plane is easy compared with just trying to leave St Petersburg, year by year increasingly jammed with traffic. A taxi in late afternoon might take a few hours to get through the number of cars that has been slowing the city recently. So, loaded down with luggage we pushed and pulled our way through the wind and snow to the bus stop on Parachutna. We took the Number 172 to Pionerskaya metro and, after an exhausting struggle to cross crowded streets and get through metro passenger tunnels, we arrived at Moskovskie train station.
Throughout two nights and an intervening day we rolled through a part of Russia I had never seen. Cultivated land, simple painted country houses, the colossal cold architecture of an unknown city seen through the window of our train at 3 AM. The ride was smooth and lulling, inducing good sleep and adding to the energy I felt as an expectant traveller, seeing something new at every turn.
Just a little something to eat...
We brought a heavy amount of bread, pastries, cheese, mustard, cooked chicken, apples, pears, boiled eggs, mayonnaise, butter... everything but the toaster... typical of travellers in Russia. The large lady who shared our compartment unpacked a small cutting board and made a careful salad from a collection of greens and vegetables. Perochki, smoked fish, and apples were for sale at most every stop by baboushklas and at kiosks.
The great Russian railway system...
Russia is famous for poorly constructed highways, but it should also be acknowledged as a leader in passenger train travel. Physically it is the largest country in the world, 1.8 times the size of the USA, but only has approximately 143 million people (USA 307 m). Russia has 8.2 average persons for each square kilometer, while the USA has 34.
How can Russia, nearly twice the size of the USA, with less than half the population of the USA, spread thinly over its tundra and taiga, be unified? The answer... its phenomenal passenger and freight railway system.
Amtrak and Russian Railways are not comparable...
We used Amtrak when we toured part of the USA in 2002 and 2004. It's expensive to have your own compartment, even though it is so compact as to make you feel you are on a space shuttle. I much prefer the roominess of Russian trains.
Americans would feel uncomfortable sharing a compartment with a stranger in the top berth, so a smaller compartment is the price they pay for being sealed off from unknown people. This insular attitude is a drawback to getting to know what Americans are like in their own country.
Our train, The Northern Palmira (a way of referring to St Petersburg), starts in Murmansk on the Barents Sea, stops at St Petersburg,. skirts Moscow, and stays to the east of the Ukraine. The train makes its last stops at Sochi, Xocta, and Adler. The final stop is just a hop from the Abkhazian border.
Sochi has a humid subtropical climate similar to the American south, the only one within Russia. Yalta, part of the Crimea peninsula now controlled by the Ukraine, has drier air. Many Russians hold the last leaders of the USSR, along with Yeltsin, as responsible for the loss of Crimea.
Xocta, pronounced hos-ta
We had sun every day during our stay from 14 - 24 October. Then we had rain for three days on our return to St Petersburg.
I was happy to be among hills and mountains and next to a beautiful sea. While swimming you can taste the salty water. Larissa and I collected a cereal box full of the beautiful pebbles. To walk comfortably on the stones and pebbles you need flip flops. There are no life guards but beaches are posted and a red flag flown when there are stormy conditions. I loved the sound of rolling stones at the water's edge.
How to spot a Russian anywhere on the beaches of the world? Just look for someone standing facing the sun, hands on hips. With pleasantly hot air and water around 20 degrees C, we had ideal beach and swimming conditions.
The Lejak, a wooden grill for your suntan...
20 rubles rents a lejak... 9 slats from head to toe, and 5 slats crosswise for a wedge pillow of wood. On top of this contraption people place beach towels and cushions. Plastic chairs were not as popular.
If it's free, it's for me!
October is the end of the tourist season, and it was easy to select any pensionat or sanatory beach to use for free. Also there were water fountains, free cold showers on the beach, free changing rooms, and free stand up men's room facilities (women pay 10 rubles).
Even warmer swimming!
One day an old fishing boat tied up at the pier next to our beach. The cheerful captain was there to take people out to the yet warmer water of the open sea. We paid 300 rubles each and went along. We swam as much as we liked in the 23 meter deep water as he fished.
Good food store prices and a pleasing stolovaya...
Contrary to negative reports about restaurants, we were tipped off by Galla as to the best place to eat, the stolova Lotus... a cafeteria restaurant with Russian cooking along with some regional dishes. We found an Uzbeki stolova on the main street that serves large delicious portions of montee (large raviolis), shash-leek (shiskabob), and plovf (chicken pieces mixed with rice). These restaurants had clean bathrooms.
Soviet Street Name Math 30 Dec 22 + 50 = 1972 = ulitsa 50 let CCCP
We rented a room with enclosed balcony from a lady who owns and lives in the apartment. We were on the fifth floor of #10, ulitsa 50 let (years) CCCP. The hillside view reminded me of Paris. In Russia, buildings that in America would be considered recently built are looked on as old... this one was constucted in the 1980's and was faded and run down. Still, I liked the setting with the palms, cedars, and vegetation. Our room was comfortable. We cooked a porridge breakfast every morning.
Tricky rental tactics found throughout the world...
Lydia, our landlady, insisted on upfront payment of 4500 rubles for 10 days. We were tired, and complied. After a few days something happened that was like insider trading... the town turned off residential hot water for annual maintenance. So we paid for a hot water rental and got hit with cold water. Really, the apparent trickiness bothered us more than the loss of hot water. When needed we washed with water from the tea pot and a cloth.
Seeing is believing...
When I first saw our country village in Tverskya Oblisk, I realized how beautiful Russia can be. Now in Sochi I understood there is a part of Russia as warm and as appealing as Southern California, Mobile Alabama or Savannah Georgia. Flowers are everywhere, the pace of life is slow, people are pleasant.
Xocta is part of Sochi, and Sochi is part of Krasnodar Krai. Krasnodar is famous for Cossacks, Romany, and a source for many vegetables. http://www.timothypost.com is the address of a blog written by a native Bostonian now enjoying life and doing business in Krasnodar.
Xocta has back streets lined with blooming bushes, flowers, and sycamores. We never got to the city part of Sochi but were content to see some views from a sanatorium in the hills. By the end of our 10 days I had worn myself down to a tired old man and it was time to get me out of there and back to normal life.
Larissa changed our return rail ticket to a more restful two person compartment , with three meals spread out in strange fashion so that we had a fish dinner for breakfast. The food was delivered to us, which they considered top service... but I would have enjoyed these meals more if we had them in the dining car.
How the Russian Railway deals with Daylight Savings Time changes...
We left Xocta on 24 October around 355 PM Moscow Daylight Time. Moscow Daylight Time ended 25 October at 2 AM. The train in the early hours of the 26th was instructed to wait an hour on a siding outside of St Petersburg. Why? The Russian Railway balanced the earlier Moscow Standard Time arrival by having us physically wait out the hour difference.
What with computers and world famous Russian mathematicians, the railway found this the most expedient way to deal with time changes!?
Maybe you could submit your comments about time change manipulation on the Russian Railway, along with a better solution to us, and I'll forward your idea to the railroad!
So, if you want to appreciate what a country has to offer, get out of the cities at least once a year... to the forests and villages... to the seaside... and you may start feeling an affection for the new land in which you are living!

Thanks for this article ! Reminded me of my Trans-siberian trip and I thought the waiting outside St Petersburg an hour due to the changing of the clocks made me laugh ! (It probably wasn't much fun for you though).ReplyDelete
And it's true what you said about needing to get out of the city from time to time - otherwise you forget/under-appreciate what else the country has to offer.
Yes, train scheduling reflects rather tortuous logic at times!ReplyDelete

The good management of the inputs and outputs of his cash register is one of the priority issues for a sales manager.
In this age of digitalization, it seems essential that merchants consider equipping themselves with the latest technological innovations at their disposal to keep their cash register. Indeed, this equipment now constitutes an asset for developing its activity and striving for more serenity in the commercial management of its business.
Among the novelties of recent years, point of sale software has become a tool in its own right in running a business and enabling performance.
What is point of sale software?
Point of sale software – or cash register software – is cash management software.
Easy to use, intuitive and configurable, it is a complete management solution. Integrated into a point of sale terminal, such as a cash drawer, computer or payment terminal, it advantageously replaces a standard cash register.
It can take the form of an application, and in this case, can be installed on a tablet or smartphone.
Its added value compared to a traditional cash register is the fact that it allows you to manage many aspects of the commercial activity of a point of sale:
- It simplifies collections (edition of receipts) and is essential to boost performance
- It facilitates inventory management (labels, prices, bar codes, supplies).
- It simplifies the taking of customer orders.
- All useful data is computerized and exportable.
The essential characteristics for all points of sale
The front office and the back office
Whatever activity it is designed for, cash register software consists of two inseparable elements necessary for the proper management of your activity: the front office and the back office.
The software’s front office (collection point) manages daily actions:
- the printing of receipts, invoices, delivery notes, checks, etc.,
- Customer loyalty tools (loyalty cards, discounts, customer accounts, etc.),
- inventory monitoring: it takes into account inputs (supplier deliveries) and outputs (customer sales) and calculates replenishments,
- Access more or less reserved depending on the types of user profiles.
The essential characteristics by corporations
There is billing software for small businesses adapted to most types of points of sale as well as software dedicated to certain corporations.
The former develop features common to all business needs; the capabilities of billing software for small businesses dedicated to a sector of activity are more advanced.
Each type of activity has its own cash register software and specific business features!
Whether you run a restaurant or own a retail business, beauty salon, or pharmacy, there will always be software specifically designed for your business.
OUR ADVICE: take the time to consult all the offers, because business software is always more expensive than generalist, which is sometimes quite sufficient to meet the needs of your business.
However, some options are unavoidable and must be included in the software menu when it comes to certain areas, as an option pack or in all-inclusive packages.
Ready-to-wear or shoe stores:
- size / color management
- e-commerce module: allows you to synchronize “store” data with an e-commerce site so that you have only one database to manage
- shoe size management
Food shops and bakeries:
- management of product families, labels, bar codes
- management of stocks, supplier orders, customers …
- management of delivery routes
- management and follow-up of customer orders
- management of the seating plan and tables
- management of orders from the room to the kitchen
- sharing of bills
- management of meal vouchers

Ben Smith My helpful mom says this plugin is adorable!!
Last monthJack Dorseywas standing in Addis Ababa Bole International Airport in Ethiopia, which, according to reviews, has “insipid food choices” and a “pathetic duty free,” when he tweeted a major announcement: “Sad to be leaving the continent…for now. Africa will define the future (especially the bitcoin one!). Not sure where yet, but I’ll be living here for 3-6 months mid 2020.” At Twitter and Square, the two companies Dorsey runs almost 9,000 miles away, Dorsey’s employees were as perplexed as everyone else. According to people close to Twitter, no all-hands had been called to explain that their boss was planning to spend a good chunk of next year overseas. There was no explanation—just the tweet.
Had someone likeMark ZuckerbergorTim Cookor even off-the-cuff kingElon Musksent a similar tweet, their companies’ respective stocks would have plummeted, lobbing a few billion dollars off their valuation; the CEO of a major public company moving oversees without much explanation isn’t normal. But at Twitter, the markets barely registered the so-called announcement. That’s because Twitter is not like any other public company, and its investors are as perplexed as ever about how to judge its worth. Its valuation doesn’t match its revenue. Its user numbers don’t match its influence. And, unlike Apple or Facebook, Wall Street still isn’t sure if Twitter’s CEO, Dorsey, is one of the metrics they should use to decide that value.
I’ve long since given up predicting the market capitalization of Silicon Valley companies. There are simply too many random factors, like Russian interference, tens of millions of “users” turning out to be bots, or, more often than not, the firing of a big-shot CEO. Uber, I once believed, could be worth $100 billion, or nothing. (It’s now bobbing somewhere in between.) I once assumed the scandal surrounding Facebook and Russia would chop off a good quarter of the social network’s value, and while it did fall by a hundred billion dollars or so after the Cambridge Analytica news broke, Facebook is now worth more than half-a-trillion dollars, and continues to grow. As for Twitter, a company I’ve covered for more than a decade, while the company’s value has gone up and down like a yoyo, my predictions of where it might be at any given moment have always been off by several quarters, if not years. In 2015, for example, as the usual chaos was gripping the Twitter boardroom and Dorsey had taken over for the third time (his second as CEO), I guessed that the social network’s stock would fall dramatically. While I was right for a while, Twitter’s value is now in the same ballpark as when Dorsey returned, in part thanks to the Tweeter-in-Chief.
That’s not necessarily a good thing. Half a dozen people I’ve spoken with who once worked for Twitter or who are current investors have voiced concerns about how long the company can contin

DENVER | The marijuana regulation debate in Colorado continues Thursday with lawmakers asking who should regulate the newly legal drug.
A special House-Senate pot committee planned to grill officials with the Department of Revenue. That’s the state agency that currently oversees medical marijuana. The department is slated to regulate recreational pot, too — but its marijuana regulation was called into serious question last week in a scathing state audit.
The Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division was described as a directionless agency that wasted money on cars and office furniture while running out of money to track marijuana as promised. Lawmakers want assurances that problems have been corrected and that the department is prepared to oversee a likely crush of marijuana businesses. Commercial sales to adults over 21 are set to begin in January.

These days, there are a ton of web destinations that have Texas hold’em spaces for individuals to play poker online. On the off chance that you are new to playing Texas hold’em with anonymous rivals, this review is made for you.

INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1
1.1 INTROCTION TO AIR COMPRESSOR
Compressors are power consuming thermodynamic device which convert mechanical energy into head or pressure energy.
An air compressor, as the name indicates, is a machine to compress the air and to raise its pressure. The air compressor sucks air from the atmosphere, compresses it and then deliverers the same under a high press ore to a storage vessel. From the storage vessel, it may be conveyed by the pipeline to a place where the supply of compressed air is required. Since the compression of air requires some work to be done on it, there a compressor must be driven by some ...view middle of the document...
This industry is a reputed manufacturer and exporter of air compressors.
It manufacturing almost all reciprocating type of compressor. But it manufacturing double cylinder reciprocating air compressor since last few year.
For double cylinder reciprocating air compressor it experienced that improper cooling of compressed air by using water as an intercoolant agent after few months of operation. But small capacity range of air compressor working properly for more years.
Due to this the industry faced huge problem in their operations. Their reputation had been at stake. So that we attempted to reduced the temperature of compressed air in double cylinder reciprocating air compressor by using different intercoolant agents and also increase overall performance of air compressor.
2.2 REASON FOR FAILURE
In current days the water is used as an intercoolant agent in intercooler for cooling of compressed air during it transfers from one cylinder to another cylinder.
During intercooling of compressed air, the temperature of compressed air is so much high. so it takes some time for cooling. for that compressor speed would be somehow reduced which is not possible in actual application because of its requirement. Because of high temperature of compressed air, water is evaporated quickly.
The work required to compressor is reduced with the help of the intercooling. Which reduce the input power required by the compressor has been saved near about 1 -2 %. Increase volumetric efficiency about 0.5-1% by changing cooling agent. So increase the life of compressor and maintain its discharge pressure capacity for more years.
LITERATURE SURVEY CHAPTER3
THE INTERCOOLER WITH SPRAYING WATER FOR AIR COMPRESSORS
This paper is published by Prof. Kang Yang in Division of Air Conditioning, Department of Textile Engineering, North-west Institute of Textile Science and Technology, Xi'an, China.
A spraying water device to cool gas can be used in the intercooler of air compressors instead of the heat exchanger. It is more effective for heat transfer because the gas is in direct contact with the cooling water sprayed on to the gas. This paper gives the cooling form, the separating water method from gas, and the calculating formula for heat transfer. Through experiments under the normal pressure, the calculated result of the formula is satisfactory and the separating process, using a' group of streamline baffles to block water, has a low pressure drop and a better separating effect, water content is 0.1 % after separation. The content does not influence the next compression.
A new intercooler of the air compressor, with spraying cooling water on to the gas to transfer heat, is put forward. In this intercooler the streamline baffles are adopted "to ·separate water from gas and have a low pressure drop and a better separating effect through experiments. This...
