Some people seem to come to movies to talk with their friends. Something which is getting to an abyssmal state now that it is almost impossible to concentrate while watching a movie. People talking between themselves, answering mobile phones and people who make comments on what is on the screen, there are too much of distractions these days, while in a movie hall. Really difficult. Well, for this movie, it was interesting because the two guys behind me were talking about their film review website. For every 10 minutes of the movie, they were making a comment about the movie, as if they were typing it down on a notepad or memorizing it. Anyways, I got to listen to something, which I was afraid for long about many movie reviewers. Most Malayalam movie reviewers always keep saying the Cinematography was perfect for the movie and wonderful when there are lot of shakes or steady cam movements or even a lot of panoramic shots of Keralan green. The guys at my back kept on saying the photography was only ordinary and disappointing. So what I wondered is almost right. Because one department in which this movie excelled, for me, was its camera work. Of course, there are no shaky cameras or any gimmicks with the camera, nor are there any greenery or sunset shots, which will make anybody rave about the cameraman. But it is an excellent camera work which is supposed to give the script, director and the other crew just the required support. And if I am not wrong (read this somewhere), the movie was shot in a Canon EOS 7D dslr. It should be termed brilliant then.
Arjun represents a strata of Indian society who forms an ultra small percentage of our population, a real estate whiz man, and Ansari, working in a super market, the other majority spectrum of the Indian population. Arjun shoots some intimate moments of his with his Office assistant, who had mistaken his interest as love, using his iphone, but then lose the phone. Ansari gets this phone and for weird and unknown reasons play some pranks with Arjun. Like always, in between, this video clip is leaked and is posted on the net and Arjun seeks revenge.
Arjun is everything about the modern day Indian who represents the Indian super nation. He is to get married soon, but carries on his affair with his office assistant, not even mentioning to her about the probable marriage, and is always on the look out for flesh and money. But the way he treats the situation, when he lose the phone, and also his affair is quite pathetic and takes away a lot of sheen of his character. Likewise, Ansari is quite poor, but when he gets this new phone his character acts strange, by either not selling for money or use it for himself, but by playing pranks with Arjun, in the name of giving the phone back. There is no credible explanation of Ansari's behaviour here and all looks quite strange. He seem to like a colleague in the super market, but gets weird even with her after receiving the phone. He gives a stupid reason to her for not giving the phone back, but acts opposite through out. Sonia, Arjun's affair girl, looks quite modern until she comes to know about the marriage of Arjun. Had she slapped him on the face and boldly walked out it would have been better. Instead she falls into the cliche of how exactly our females are to behave when being deceived.
I thought, there was a good plot here (there are blames that this plot is from some Korean movie), and the treatment is also almost good. But the script falters in how it treats the characters and also in its length. Had this been told in an hour, this movie would have been very different. But there are some very good points too. The final action between Arjun and Ansari was quite good. Performances of almost all actors were good, even though I found Vineeth Srinivasan, as Ansari, quite a mis cast for the role. We are yet to learn from Tamil movie makers in this. Anyways, Fahad Fazil, as Arjun, has given his best performance to date. So did Ramya Nambeesan as Sonia. The girl who played Nafeeza, the friend of Ansari at the super market, also has some good charm. It is funny that all characters in our movies will always have a love interest. When will we see an ordinary character, like Ansari, without a girl friend. In real life, most ordinary boys and men are craving for some kind of a girl friend, but they cant.
Scene by scene, the director does shows promise. I couldnt help thinking that he might be influenced by the style of Kim Ki Duk, the way he used his characters, especially Ansari. And with a better script, he must be able to give a better show, I hope. I am just worried if Malayalam too is going the path of Bollywood, where we are looking at too many English dialogues and terms in a Malayalam movie. Of course, there is a strata of society in India, who are ultra rich and is more western looking than Indian, talking in English even with a new born baby, and will use all the terms from a Hollywood movie. But, to my experience, these people might be only like less than 0.01 % of Indian population. Some body from this spectrum, always prominently occupying our movie scripts, is quite weird.
Another thought too, because of the movie. There are so many bad news these days because of mobile phone videos. People are free to decide their sex partners or affairs or whatever, as long as there is a consent from both the man and the girl. Fine, but then why do they have to shoot their intimate moments on video? And sadly, why do our girls always permit their partner to shoot these moments? And why the hell do these male cameraman 'bastards' dont keep these videos for their private viewing only rather than sending it to their friends and friends friends? Why are these 'ultra bastard' friends, so intent on forwarding such videos over the internet and phone messages, what hell of a pleasure are they getting through this? Actually it is these friends, who keeps forwarding such mails and messages, who should be bought to law. Even if this might sound draconian, I think the penis of all such bastards, who shoot their own partner and then leak it and the friends who keep forwarding it, should be severed.

|Data on carbon, water and energy exchange between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere collected by TERN's national network of OzFlux towers have been used to improve empirical climate models
Land surface models (LSMs) represent the Earth's surface within the climate models that underpin most projections of future climate and inform impact, adaptation, and policy decisions. LSMs such as Australia's CABLE model are also routinely used in weather prediction and water modelling.
"LSMs are vital but, unfortunately, they sometimes don't perform as well as they should," says Ned Haughton from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (ARCCSS), hosted by the University of New South Wales.
Climate modellers like Ned know this because they test the accuracy of LSM predictions against simple yet highly accurate empirical models that represent data collected in the field.
"LSMs need to reflect real-world behaviours of vegetation and soil," says Ned. "Empirical models are black-boxes and tell us little about the physics, but they do accurately model the overall behaviour of the system, and so they can act as benchmarks for LSMs. By improving the performance of empirical models, we can help to track down problems in LSMs and improve them."
Ned and his colleagues at the ARCCSS have shown that empirical models can be substantially improved using data on carbon, water and energy exchange between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere which are provided by TERN's national network of OzFlux towers and our partners that make up the global FLUXNET network.
"By nailing down the key meteorological variables that provide predictive power in empirical models, we've been able to show that substantial performance improvements are possible. These act as important benchmarks for evaluating the behaviour and predictability of empirical climate models that can be used as a baseline for future studies."
Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes, Professor Andy Pitman, says that the micrometeorological data openly provided by TERN are a particularly noteworthy component of the global dataset used in the study.
"TERN-delivered flux data are a hemispheric anomaly, in the sense that there are few observations over the whole southern hemisphere and even fewer in the tropics," says Andy. "TERN data from the savannas, arid regions and tropics are therefore amongst the most valuable measurements taken, not merely for Australia, but on a world stage."
Data from TERN's nation-wide network of flux monitoring sites, including from TERN's Dry River OzFlux station near Katherine in the Northern Territory (above), have been used in the study by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (ARCCSS)
Lead researcher Ned Haughton from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science will be attending the forthcoming OzFlux AsiaFlux Joint Conference in Darwin in August and is happy to discuss the work with those interested

Hiring for UX — and Why You'd Better Hurry
Originally posted on the projekt202 blog
Business in 2017 is undergoing a transformation, as digital capabilities are harnessed and strategically leveraged to deliver better user experiences. How does this impact today's companies and what qualities should business leaders expect in software development?projekt202 Vice President of Customer Experience (CX) Jeremy Johnson shares his insights:As businesses are transformed by mobile, increased expectations for ROI, and other factors, they're ramping up their digital capabilities. This usually starts with development, but soon they realize, without customer understanding or well-designed experiences, they won't meet their user goals and, by extension, their business goals.I'm in the Dallas area and it's just now reaching that tipping point. I've worked in the user experience (UX) field for more than 15 years. There was a time not that long ago where every software designer in Dallas could fit in a single room. Today, there are many more designers, but really good UX designers – those who have a balance of gathering customer insights, designing great solutions and working with development teams – are hard to find. There are only a few schools in our region that holistically address these areas.
"If companies want to outplay their opponents, they need to genuinely understand their customers and deliver an outstanding user experience every time.

Authentic Bites Dumpling House, Northbridge
I get excited easily at the mention of word 'dumpling' because it's one of my favourite dishes to eat. Dumplings are always great to have as a snack or side dish but it can also be substantial main dish as well.
Last Sunday we made a trip to Authentic Bites Dumpling House on Newcastle St and based on the name you can tell that this restaurant was very confident in declaring the authenticity of their dumpling. We were waiting for about half an hour before they had a table ready for us because there were 7 people in our group. Don't fret because the line moved really quick for a group of 2 or 3 people.
There's no booking accepted for this venue but we were rewarded by good dumplings. I really wanted something spicy so we ordered the boiled dumpling with pork and prawn filling. It created a great flavour and a good start to the rest of our dumpling adventure.
Throughout the restaurant we saw some staff in the kitchen folding the most anticipated dish of the day: Xiao Long Bao. When we received the Xiao Long Bao, we could see that every dumpling was folded neatly and the skin had just the right thickness. We ordered all three different flavours of XLB, every flavour was really delicious. My favourite is still the original pork meat XLB and the flavour was retained really well inside the dumpling.
Our next dish was the pan fried dumpling and it was my first time to see the dumplings served in such a way. We tried the new kimchi pan fried dumpling which was delicious and each dumpling was packed well.
HOW TO EAT Dumpling / XLB Inexology's way:
1. Use the chopstick and grab the dumpling just under the knot
2. When it comes to XLB I always dip it in the vinegar sauce which was mixed with ginger
3. Then I put the dumpling on the duck spoon
4. Take some slices of ginger and put it on the dumpling
5. Then eat :) and enjoy the explosion of flavour inside your mouth
HOW TO EAT Dumpling / XLB Din Tai Fung's way:
I saw this diagram when I went to Din Tai Fung which makes a lot of sense too:
1. Mix soy sauce, vinegar sauce and sliced ginger together
2. Use the chopstick and grab the dumpling just under the knot, then dip it into your sauce
3. Put your dumpling on the duck spoon and pierced a small hole using your chopstick
4. Gently press the dumpling until the broth comes out on the spoon and sip it
5. Then eat :)
We finished off with adorable red bean bun in a shape of white bunny! The sweetness of the red bun was perfect and kids will definitely fall in love with the shape as well!
Some side dishes that we tried on the day: a serving of very fresh cucumber salad on the side, tofu and century egg, a bowl of hot and sour soup (I'd like this to be more sour ;-)), delicious and light noodle with dumpling and liquor-soaked chicken. Bonus: free tap water and hot tea is available at the restaurant.

ATTENTION! Server has moved to it's new home. Enjoy! All data was sync'ed as of 5/7.
What is the purpose of OpenWLANMap?Similar to the OpenStreetMap-Projekt OpenWLANMap is a free alternative project comparing to similar commercial offers. It provides a general database with WLANs and their exact position.
At the moment there are several companies out there that scan networks and collect data about them without asking the owners. These companies make profit with the data of other people. So it should be the time now to have a project that offers these data for free and - what is more important - where users can decide if they want to share their data with the public or not.
Possible applications for these data are navigation systems and position calculation without the need to use a GPS receiver.
What next?As a first action you can enter the data of your own WLAN access point or router here. We also are interested in information about closed, encrypted and not publicly accessible networks. Beside of that you also can use an Android smartphone or tablet to collect data for this project fully automatically.
Now that we have a good stock of data you can use them for a pure, WLAN-based location services without the need to use GPS. Already implemend is a programming interface that gives the possibility to use this database and its location services out of own applications. Beside other useful things this gives programmers the possibility to implement a navigation software that also works within closed buildings.
All that only depends on the community and how much people take part at this project - the provider of this service does not have any commercial or financial interests (beside the interest to pay this server also when the traffic increases heavily).
Isn't that dangerous?Resulting from that there will be some questions regarding the security of your network. Isn't it dangerous to publish information about WLAN networks here? Isn't that a good source for crackers to get information about networks to break into?
The answer is absolutely clear: no, there is no additional risk.

People who ask for permission every time they want to initiate physical intimacy with their partner have NO fucking passion in their lives.
What's the point of being in a relationship?
If she doesn't communicate to YOU that she DOESN'T want it, how can she expect YOU to do all of the communication? It's a two-way street.
This does not mean that a man who continues physical intimacy after a woman says "No" has the ethical high ground. But if you ask "Is it okay if I kiss you" EVERY FUCKING TIME you want to kiss her, she is going to leave you due to boredom.
It's on BOTH partners to communicate effectively, but it must be remembered that passion is INCREDIBLY important in a relationship, and PASSION IS NOT INHERENTLY RAPE…
Of course, in SAYING this, I am not offering solutions to PREVENT rape, or what to do AFTER it occurs; but, the most effective way to prevent rape, in my opinion, is a gun. When he starts to try to rape you, kill him. It's the most effective solution.
"Teaching men not to rape" is childish on MULTIPLE levels, as it patronizes male NON-rapists, and doesn't deter a man who is willing to rape. It's attempting to solve a problem with insufficient means, and will only serve to decrease the self-esteem of those shy men who only want PASSION in their lives (I am a firsthand account of this, as this deeply affected me growing up. In fact, you could say that it made me "sexist". (Feminism creating "male chauvinists"? Ohhh yes. It should be completely fucking obvious why this is the case)).
I'll never say that there aren't problems with the way that rape is treated from a rape-victim's perspective. And I'm not going to compare victims here. But anyone who attempts to discredit male victims of false rape accusations have already discredited themselves.
I have yet to discover if ignorance or covert malevolence comes more into play with emotional issues like this, but I think it's a combination of both.
In conclusion, I think the best solution to rape is a gun.
Treating all men like children will not slow down rape.
"Rape" must have a clear, coherent definition.
There is a point when unwanted sexual advancement is NOT rape, and a point when it IS. For instance, a compliment on one's attractiveness, even if it is lewd and unwanted, is NOT RAPE. Smacking women on the ass in public IS sexual harassment, AS ARE verbal sexual compliments when she has made it CLEAR to you when she wants you to stop.
But what of the lovers, when he wants anal sex and she doesn't? And he keeps asking, and she finally gives in? Is THIS rape?
Of course not. She consented, even if begrudgingly. This is NOT rape. I can't believe this has to be explained.
What if she consented, and then regretted it? Of course not. Keyword: "consent." Not until she tells him to stop. (Communication is a very nuanced thing).
And what if drugs are involved? Simple:
If she CHOOSES to do the drugs, WITHOUT being physically coerced, and then, while high, agrees to have sex, AND THEN LATER REGRETS IT, then it is CLEARLY not rape, as she made her choices and gave her consent. Therefore, it is SHE who must live with the consequences, INCLUDING the GUILT she might feel: NOT HE.
Physical coercion is a different matter ENTIRELY.
And, of COURSE this isn't to suggest that there is no such thing as rape. That's an ignorant conclusion to take from this.
Passion is not rape:
Jokes are not rape.
Books are not rape.
Video games are not rape.
(And if you're stupid enough to ask "Why are you obsessed with rape?", I'll simply ask you: "Have you been living under a rock?" If you have been, then go to this site and propose that same question to its users).
Women (reader discretion is advised).

Lucite console table – It is difficult to imagine a hall without a console-style table. They are very practical and take up very little space. When choosing a console for the hall we have to be guided above all by the decorative style of it. Although we can also choose a table in another style if we want to create an eclectic decoration or create an accent to highlight and break the monotony.
We will start with a few rustic-style lucite console table that usually offer us a large storage capacity because they are usually quite large. Although if our receiver is not very large we can also find copies of small size. The finish is usually typical of the style but there is a huge gradation in this respect from the most worn or unfinished ones that are so worn now to other very refined ones.
12 Photos Gallery of: Lucite Console Table In More Sophisticated Decor
Normally the consoles have a low shelf but we can find some that do not have it. In that case we can place underneath a stool and some storage complement. We will change the style and review a few consoles and contemporary style lucite console table. There are simple ones like this one and others much more sophisticated. Very similar but with drawers and chrome finish on the legs that combines very well with the rear mirror.

Multiple police cars containing armed police attended the scene in Mercer Row and Park Avenue in Louth this afternoon (Friday), as part of a 'pre-planned arrest'.
A Lincolnshire Police spokesman has confirmed that the police activity relates to a 'pre-planned arrest' of a man on behalf of another police force.
Staff at business premises in Mercer Row said that the police cars turned up and blocked the street off near the junction with Upgate shortly before 1pm today - and armed police officers left their vehicles and entered a nearby building.
While crowds gathered in the street, the police officers promptly returned to their vehicles and left the scene without comment.
Eyewitnesses told the Leader that they did not see anyone else get into the vehicles other than the police officers.

Netflix can save you cash in the long run if you rent lots of movies
If you're renting a lot of movies, I would suggest you try out Netflix. They do get the movies pretty much day of the release, and the turn around is pretty quick. For those that are into anime, or asian flicks, Netflix gets those too and is one of the few places you can even get a hold of these types of films with a large library to choose from.
It really beats the On-Demand stuff, especially when DVDs are now releasing about a week or two behind the On-Demand. Is it truly that important for you to see it when you didn't at the theater anyways?
In any case, there really isn't any reason you shouldn't be doing this if you do watch a lot of shows and movies. Never had an issue with them, and hopefully will continue to have that wonderful customer service. So remember…Rent movies from Netflix! It'll save you money in the long run.

Part 2: Dockerized gRPC API in C# on .NET
Part 1: Dockerized REST API in C# .NET
Part 2: Dockerized gRPC API in C# .NET (This part)
A quick note: If you haven't yet, it's probably a good thing to start at Part 1 ;)
What's this part about (gRPC in C#)?
For those new to gRPC, there's a decent amount of talk online about the trade offs with other service apis. You can check out SO or tons of blogs, but generally speaking gRPC has binary exchange and supports streaming. It generally makes it faster than the likes of REST, but like all technology choices there are trade-offs you need to think about. My personal advice falls into
Use gRPC
- You're a mature(ish) tech org
- Have good build and deployment practices
- Need fast, streaming information
- Want a very clear contract from clients to services
Think twice using gRPC
- Have a hard time understanding how to create services
- Have a environment where setting up tooling, builds, services, etc is difficult
- Don't have clear experience on designing simple APIs
4. Have lots of other places you can clean up performance issues
Here we're going to create something that should look very similar to Part 1 except instead of creating restful endpoints, we're going to create a gRPC service. The repo is located at (https://github.com/josmo/sample-dotnet-grpc). Now going ahead and Create a .NET core 2.0 project ;)
— Checkpoint 1 (Creating the service definition)
Looking at this checkpoint, you can see the proto/internal_application.proto file.
If you're not super familiar with protobuf head over to https://grpc.io/docs/there's tons of information on how to get started. In this case we're going to generate C# and JavaScript files from it.
It's relatively simple and just do the following: (note that the protoc-gen-grpc needs to be the location of where the grpc.tools nuget package gets installed. This will general the server part of the code)
> dotnet add package Grpc.Core
> dotnet add package Grpc.Tools
> dotnet add package Google.Protobuf
> protoc --csharp_out=code_gen_csharp proto/internal_application.proto --grpc_out=code_gen_csharp --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=/Users/{youruser}/.nuget/packages/grpc.tools/1.6.0/tools/macosx_x64/grpc_csharp_plugin
> protoc -I=./proto --js_out=code_gen_js proto/internal_application.proto
This will output C# and Javascript files representing the schema above. We don't need Javascript yet, but I'm generating the scripts for the client site in the next post. I'm going to commit these files into the repo but normally you would publish this to an internal nuget/npm registry, or equivalent location.
— Checkpoint 2 (Creating the server and dummy implementation)
This checkpoint is probably the meat of the project. We're going to look at:
services/StatusImpl.cs -> this has the implementation for the service (we're just going to have dummy static data) If you look at it. It's really just an implementation of the interface created from the proto file by the code-gen. In this case you get a request object and create and return the response object.
Program.cs -> will create and startup the server. The main thing here is that the generated code includes the server piece and you just need to configure a few things with the service implementation and add it to the server :)
Now you can start the service up and it should work :) One thing note worthy is that unlike REST services, it's a bit harder to test and validate to see if everything seems kosher. My poor mans version of testing is to add a "client request" after server startup. You can check out the master branch for an example in Program.cs.
— Checkpoint 3 (Grabbing meta data if we need it)
So what happens when you need to start thinking about authentication type stuff a la "Authorization" headers in REST services? This is where meta-data stuff comes in handy.
Meta data is pretty simple to grab check out this checkpoint. Unfortunately at the time of this post there isn't an implementation for interceptors (if you need that go and checkout the grpc github project and start contributing ;)).
Look at services/StatusImpl.cs to see about grabbing metadata from the service.
var headers = context.RequestHeaders;
var token = headers.Where(item => item.Key == "token").Select(item => item.Value).FirstOrDefault();
if (token != null)
//Congrats you have a token on the metadata headers ;) This is a great way to pass jwt tokens
— Checkpoint 4 (Building and throwing it in Docker)
Looking at this checkpoint you'll see that running the following commands will build your service
dotnet publish -c Release -r linux-x64 -o out
docker build -t sample-dotnet-grpc .
docker run sample-dotnet-grpc
Congrats you now have a simple C# cross platform gRPC running in docker!

As a personal challenge, I have decided to embark on a 31-day challenge to lower my stress level, and make staying at home not so overwhelming. Each day, I will focus on one area of my life that can be cleaned up or addressed to help make my life just a teensy bit easier – and less stressful.
Business mentors say that how you dress is a reflection of your brand. It is also a great source of stress for me every day. As a mom, I feel a lot of eyes on me at the various activities I shuttle my kids to once a week. I know everyone is more worried about themselves than what I am wearing, but I feel the need to not look like a slob, or a mommy who hasn't quite lost the pregnancy weight.
Powerful decision makers (President Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, the late Steve Jobs) all wear similar outfits day in and day out. Part of it can be branding (power, relatable to the target market, or geek chic), but a lot of it is decision making. Powerful people have a lot of decisions to make every day.
You have a lot of decisions to make every day. Making sure all of your various household, family and personal needs (ha) are met, meeting all your deadlines, paying the right bills and balancing your checkbook while trying to figure out how your current balance is going to get you through to next paycheck. You also just don't have a lot of time to play dress up.
Wardrobe is another daily decision. I know that your yoga pant and tank top work to some extent, but really, do you feel good walking out of the house like that? Like really? Comfort is key, but feeling your best is also important. But who has time to try on several outfits and still put on makeup and brush teeth while one kid is crying for the channel to be changed and the other is trying to climb in the bathroom cabinet? You are lucky I put on eyeliner and mascara half the time.
I don't say that I always step out in the best my closet has to offer, and a lot of that is my not having the time to put together an outfit. I have 3-4 go-to business casual outfits I have for client meetings that are always ready to go so I can throw them on as the babysitter arrives. But why don't I have some "power mommy" outfits?
So I am challenging myself to shop my closet. I will find 5 outfits (seven if I am ambitious) that are acceptable for My Gym or Ballet class that are easy to care for, can be kept clean, and are ready to go without any effort. This will allow me to be able to walk out of the house to any situation and feel good.
Do you have your go to outfits?
Til Tomorrow!
Ready to join in? Here is the series to date!

Summary for the Busy Executive: One of the great Chandos releases. Buy this.
Edmund Rubbra's symphonic cycle has long been admired as one of the finest of the century. So tell me why his first symphony, completed in 1937, received its first recording in 1995. This CD contains another important première, the Sinfonia concertante of 1936, Rubbra's first published large-scale orchestral work. The smaller Tribute, written in 1942 for Vaughan Williams' birthday, has appeared on several recordings.
I have no idea why the general classical-music public hasn't embraced Rubbra's music. The language raises no terrors to anyone who can get through Vaughan Williams or Walton. The music communicates vigorously and directly. However, I suspect that Rubbra's biggest hit is his orchestration of the Brahms Handel variations. I strongly commend Chandos for undertaking the complete symphonies and for all the other Rubbra it has given us along the way.
Rubbra studied with Holst, a marvelous composer known mainly for The Planets, which turns out not terribly characteristic of his output. From Holst, he became interested in Tudor composers. Holst's visionary intensity probably also found an echo in Rubbra. Musically, Rubbra to some extent begins in late Holst, the Holst of the unfinished symphony, but without imitation. Like van Gogh, Holst resists fruitful direct imitation. Very few composers want to end up sounding like second-hand anybody, and Holst's artistic profile is simply too strong. Fortunately, Rubbra had a strong character of his own.
I'd say the symphony has been well worth the wait, if I understood why I had to wait at all. It's a terrific work, and shows a huge architectural reach as well as great power. From the very first, it appears that Rubbra pursues an individual symphonic path, with almost no reliance on classical forms like sonata-allegro. The sonata depends largely on contrast – classically, on key-contrast. However, when tonality becomes fluid, as it did among most twentieth-century composers, including tonal ones, composers had to find some other point of contrast or another rhetorical principle. In the first symphony, Rubbra replaces the principle of contrast with one of "becoming." Wilfred Mellers (a Rubbra pupil) and others trace this kind of architecture back to the Tudor instrumental fantasia. The liner notes (by Robert Saxton and Rubbra expert Adrian Yardley) claim that the entire symphony essentially grows out of the opening measures. I'll take their word for it. However, it's immediately clear that Rubbra throws out more inventive strokes in his first paragraph than many composers achieve in an entire movement. The overall architecture – 3 movements, fast-fast-slow, with the last movement longer than the first two combined – points to a master largely free to pursue his own train of thought.
The symphony grabs the listener from the first with a series of bold, vigorous, and splashy fanfare ideas. At the same time, there are rhythmic features that also foretell much of what happens in the movement, and a chromatic "subplot" developed on separate lines also throughout the movement. Essentially, the composer invites us to follow at least three different simultaneous paths as they meander, merge, fork, and cross. Rhetorically, the movement starts from high energy and then drains. A "bucolic" scherzo follows. Saxton and Yardley hear similarities to the scherzo of Vaughan Williams' Sixth, but it seems to me on an altogether grander scale than a Vaughan Williams scherzo. It's more heavily-scored, for one. Incidentally, the usual charge against Rubbra early on was that he was a drab scorer. Certainly, there's little instrumentation that calls attention to itself as such. But this is really a view of scoring as "coloring in" the lines of music already composed. It seems to me, however, that for really great orchestrators, the conception of color is inextricably linked with the music. Ask yourself, for example, how Strauss could have scored Till Eulenspiegel any differently. Rubbra's orchestration has color, but color appropriate to the music itself. The final lento illustrates the "becoming" principle most clearly. Here, the rhetoric moves from an energy low and gains intensity as it progresses to material that definitely sounds like the first movement. In this sense, it's the first movement reversed or the head of the first movement swallowing the tail of the last. The symphony doesn't end as much as it begins again.
Rubbra's Tribute to Vaughan Williams was part of a BBC multiple commission on the occasion of the older composer's 70th birthday – the other composers including Lambert, Alan Bush, Jacob, Maconchy, and Robin Milford. Lambert contributed his Aubade and Patrick Hadley his One Morning in Spring, both lovely works. Lambert admired Vaughan Williams without following his lead as a composer. The Aubade owes far more to Stravinsky than to VW. Hadley very obviously comes from Vaughan Williams' "folk" side. Rubbra without direct imitation nevertheless owes much to the "cosmopolitan seriousness" of Vaughan Williams and Holst. These two composers (as well as Walton) showed musicians of Rubbra's generation how to create a modern English music, just as Britten and Davies have influenced subsequent generations. Rubbra's Tribute is a gravely beautiful andante, with soaring string passage work slightly reminiscent of Vaughan Williams' Fifth and a scherzo-ish middle section which seems a cousin of the scherzo of Vaughan Williams' Fourth. However, it doesn't have you saying "How very like Vaughan Williams" but "How beautiful."
Rubbra avoided calling the Sinfonia concertante a piano concerto, despite its considerable part for solo piano, and, hearing the work, one immediately understands why. This is more a symphony in which the piano takes a leading role, rather than an opportunity for individual heroics or display. A work of high energy, it lays out in three quite unusual movements. The first – "Fantasia: Lento con molto rubato – Allegro" – is what I call a "corkscrew," beginning intently and constantly ratcheting up. The second, a scherzo "Saltarello," blows off a lot of steam, until the brilliantly-conceived trio, which consists practically entirely of long notes on a single tone. It's as if the dancers are completely winded before they find the energy to jump up again. The finale, a monumental slow Prélude and fugue conceived in part as a memorial to Holst (who died in the year Rubbra began it). In his maturity, Holst became fascinated by canon (writing several in as many different keys as there were parts) and fugue. Too much, however, can be made of the Holst connection, for musically it seems to me that Holst and Rubbra are almost diametric opposites. I contend one can hear the difference in this movement and, say, Holst's Terzetto. In Holst, one hears tremendous focus and concision. In Rubbra, one hears music that always wants to expand and flower – explosion as opposed to implosion – although one can never accuse Rubbra of over-inflation. It says much for Rubbra that the listener is less aware of the fugue than of the elegy. The work closes beautifully, with all the emotion earned.
I can't praise this CD highly enough. Hickox and the band never let Rubbra's long symphonic arcs droop and manage it without melodramatics. Howard Shelley is a hero for taking on in some ways an ungrateful part and making majestic music from it anyway. He dazzles in the saltarello movement and speaks eloquently in the Prélude and fugue. The poetry of the close depends almost entirely on him, and he steps up to the plate. The recorded sound is Chandos' usual superb while maintaining the illusion of natural balance.

Antipodean Killin' Machine
January was a month filled with haunting reminders of how much I like music from New Zealand and Australia. First off, Andrew got Flight of the Conchords Season 2 on DVD for Christmas, so we spent a day watching New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo.
Then I got a hankering to listen to New Zealand's third most popular '80s band The Chills.
Which led me to track down my favourite song by New Zealand's second most popular '80s band, Split Enz.
One of my favourite videos of all time: Hunters and Collectors Talking to a Stranger.
On Friday we had a lovely dinner at Vicky Bell's place. Australia's The Triffids Raining Pleasure came on the ol' iTunes. Made me stop in my tracks. Always did.
And yesterday Pauly Fuemana from OMC died. While his hit How Bizarre was not obscure. I thought it seemed like a strange close to a month spent (musically) down under.

Luther's Watersports is your local headquarters for fun on the water. Take a leisurely cruise to Crab Island or through...
Boat was great but couldn't get in water due to jellyfish .
Luther's was great! Check in was easy, the boat was a great size and we had tons of fun driving around the bay and going crab island.
We had a blast. The staff was great, got us set up and sent us on our way. Best way to see crab island and the surrounding.

Many offices provide free coffee for employees. Thanks for the coffee; thanks for the job. But that free stuff may not be drinkable for some coffee lovers. So, here are a few tips that will improve the office brew.
1Double bag. For coffee lovers, office java may taste weak, like coffee-flavored water. The solution use two bags or one and a half bags of the pre-measured ground coffee to make a single pot of coffee. The extra bag yields a stronger brew with more flavor and taste.
2Bring your own cream. Improve the flavor with half-and-half cream instead of powdered milk. You can even heat the milk or cream in the microwave for extra body and warmth.
3Try instant coffee. Some of the instant coffee on the market tastes even better than brewed coffee, and can save you a lot of money.
4Sprinkle the spices. Vanilla, powdered cinnamon, nutmeg or a dash of chocolate add extra flavor. Keep some in your top desk drawer for frugal use over time. Or get all staff to pitch in to keep an office-wide supply.
5Bring your own mug. Forget the office-issued Styrofoam or paper cups. Coffee tastes better in a ceramic mug. Keep an elegant teacup and saucer at your desk for coffee breaks; the vessel improves the experience and makes break time more enjoyable.
6Drink tea. Use the free hot water from the office and supply your own bags of herbal, green or gourmet tea. Better yet, ask work to supply tea as well as coffee as part of the free drinks.
7Put up with it. Hold your nose, drink the coffee and consider yourself lucky that you have a job and free coffee.Advertisement

The kidneys are situated in the posterior part of the abdomen, on either side of the vertebral column (spine) and surrounded by fat and loose areolar tissue.
Each kidney is about 11.25 cm in length, 5 to 7.5 cm in breadth, and more than 2.5 cm in thickness. The left kidney is somewhat longer and narrower than the right. The weight of the kidney in the adult male varies from 125 to 170 g and 115 to 155 g in the adult female. The combined weight of the two kidneys in proportion to that of the body is about 1:240.
Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and waste. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in your body, your blood pressure may rise, and your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells. When this happens, you need treatment to compensate for your failed kidneys.
Below are some common conditions, diagnostics and treatments in relation to the kidneys. Some of topics below are discussed elsewhere, click on the link to go to that section.

Journalist, academic and author, John Gittings, is coming to speak to Labour Party members in Adderbury on 6 March.
John will challenge the emphasis placed on war in history, saying that 'civilisation would not have advanced without long periods of productive peace. As the great humanist and peace thinker Erasmus (1466-1536) put it, "peace is the mother and nurse of all that is good for humanity". And peace is what most people want most of the time: if war is in our genes then peace is there even more'.
John worked at The Guardian for 20 years as assistant foreign editor and chief foreign leader-writer. In 2001-03 he set up The Guardian's first staff office on the Chinese mainland in Shanghai – and was at Tiananmen Square during the protests.
Now living in Oxfordshire, he is active in local historical research, CND, and the Labour Party.
Read his book: THE GLORIOUS ART OF PEACE: From the Iliad to Iraq
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
To come and hear John: Church House (Adderbury Library) 7.30pm on 6 March.

Every top 40 hit that peaked in that season of that year, plus other songs that missed the top 40 but that have gone down as classics, or as influential, or as memorable novelties.
Are any songs missing?
Only the ones that aren't available on Spotify. A list of these songs is shown in the playlist description. Ignoring these few, enjoy hours of listening in any of these precise eras.
I can't get the songs to play in Spotify.
Try opening the app in the background first. Then click on several different songs and be patient. Sometimes the app is slow to respond at first but eventually catches up.
I found an error!
It was impossible to listen to every song while compiling these lists, and I expect to find that I made some mistakes along the way. If you encounter a song that appears to be the wrong version, please let me know. Send feedback to firstname.lastname@example.com.


text: Thank you brothers and sisters for your work to get Tom Wolf elected. Over the last several months, we have canvassed, knocked on doors, as well as registered members, families and friends to vote. This culminated in the election of Tom Wolf as Governor, defeating anti-worker Tom Corbett just after one term in office.
