Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Eyes Wide Open
Stanley Kubrick's final film is perhaps the first of its kind: it is the only film I have watched that exists within the state of death itself. It's no surprise; Stanley Kubrick died 4 days after submitting the final print into Warner Bros., Sydney Pollock died in 2008 and my grandparents, who saw this film at a screening in 1999, are dead. However, these aren't merely the reasons this film evokes a death-like state, this film evokes a death-like state throughout Bill Harford's sexual odyssey. During the Masonic orgy, which is arguably the film's center-piece, women are used and discarded as corpses who are only valued for their material gain. This film is shroud in ultra-violet blue, especially at the end of the film where it accentuates the characters' trembling flesh and vulnerable humanity, and the powerful red which contrasts against this blue reflects one of Kubrick's favorite themes: dominance. Perhaps it's inexplicable that Eyes Wide Shut evokes a man's dying thoughts. Ironically, this film feels more fresh and timeless than many of its contemporaries, only reaffirming the inestimable value of Kubrick's contributions to cinema and a decade of a cinematic drought aptly followed his death. It was fashionable to deride Stanley Kubrick's final film during its theatrical run, regardless of the fact that he considered it his personal favorite. It seems that the audience expected Kubrick to inundate them with gratuitous eroticism as opposed to ideas. Yet, Eyes Wide Shut has outsmarted time and the film industry itself. It was almost incongruously released a week before American Pie and the abysmal Will Smith star vehicle Wild Wild West. It continues to hold a mere 7.2/10 on IMDb in contrast to escapist science-fiction film The Matrix which holds an 8.7/10 rating and is listed in the top 30 films of all time, above Kubrick's more cerebral science-fiction classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. All of this may be due to the fact that Kubrick argued that 'Observancy is a dying art' and Eyes Wide Shut requires an attention to detail and an attention span that transcends the average summer blockbuster; it's easy to get lost in the terrifying labyrinth of Kubrick's musings. Though, unlike other films, Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut refutes the transcendent imagery and magic that is featured in the majority of Kubrick's films, even in Eyes Wide Shut itself, and strips humanity down to its fragile human core, figuratively speaking; Kubrick comes to the conclusion that when man is confronted with the cold and harsh reality, he favors comforting self-delusion and blissful ignorance.
Sydney Pollock's Ziegler argues, during his amazing final monologue, that the Masonic orgies are practiced by society's elite which excludes Bill. Bill spends the duration of the film's first half attempting to engage in infidelity after his wife reveals that she was willing to choose one night with a naval officer over their future. Naturally, this enrages Bill and he spends the night attempting to fulfill his personal need to subjugate his feelings of impotence, sexual and otherwise. Even in the very beginning, when Bill walks with two models, his short stature implicitly denotes his lack of power. Bill is convinced that he has been subjected to a life of domesticity and his wife is responsible; he vows to reaffirm his masculinity. Kubrick paints long shots of New York at midnight which is designed to inspire the viewer with dread. Almost every single beautiful shot capturing the very essence of soft, warm colors in the beginning soon descends into the dark and strong colors that reflect the very dream-state many describe when they watch this film. Yet, to me, it evokes a foreboding death-like state which suggests impending doom.
Bill's quest for reaffirmation of his masculinity only renders him emasculated when he enters a Masonic orgy and is rendered socially powerless by a group of the masked elite. Bill's journey neither leads him towards enlightenment nor satisfaction but humiliation and understanding that he has been domesticated by the higher classes. Ironically, his quest for sexual empowerment only led him to the understanding of social domesticity; Bill is not as influential or elite as he had initially anticipated. Not unlike the elite's perception of women; they use the high-class prostitutes as objects valued for their material value which reflects their perception of the masses that are responsible for their success. As in the beginning, when Ziegler needs Bill to revive a dying woman who almost overdoses on a combination of cocaine and heroin, Ziegler values Bill for his medical expertise which prevented trouble with the law rather than his personality. Kubrick's film argues that we live in ignorance of others perceptions of us and this is the ultimate existential fear of Harford; the elite have seen Harford unmasked, vulnerable and exposed. Pollock says 'If you knew who was there, you wouldn't sleep so well.' Kubrick has finally exposed man for who he really is; vulnerable and ignorant of the mysterious forces which govern him. The final and most playfully complex of cinema's closing lines concludes that Bill and Alice Harford have learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. They refuse to acknowledge their social impotence and would prefer for their eyes to remain wide shut, ignorant to the mysterious forces that govern them. On a more optimistic note, however, perhaps Bill's odyssey only made him aware of his vulnerability, and Kubrick evokes this through the dark imagery that recreates the sense of subjective paranoia that Bill is experiencing. Bill realizes what ultimately matters: love and family, as opposed to the power which he initially craved but only realized he was at the mercy of others' application of such social power. I'm open to many interpretations of this film, because Kubrick wanted the audience's eyes to remain wide open soon after they finished experiencing this masterpiece.

Francisco José Lloreda Mera (born 13 November 1965)[1] is a Colombian lawyer, politician, writer, editor and newspaper director. He is serving as High Presidential Advisor for Coexistence and Citizen Security in the Administration of President Juan Manuel Santos Calderón. He previously served the government as Ambassador of Colombia to the Netherlands and as Minister of National Education of Colombia.
He has been a writer, editor, and director of the newspaper El País,[2][3] founded in 1949 by his paternal grandfather Álvaro Lloreda Caicedo and great-uncles. His grandfather was director of El Pais for 25 years, followed by his father.
Early life and education[edit]
Francisco José and his fraternal twin brother Rodrigo were born on 13 November 1965[1] in Santiago de Cali, Valle del Cauca to Rodrigo Hernán Lloreda Caicedo and Aura Lucía Mera, both from well-to-do families. His father directed El Pais, the newspaper founded by his own father. Entering public service, the elder Lloreda would become Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of National Defence. His mother was a journalist and was appointed as Director of Colcultura.
In August 1981 at the age of 15, Lloreda was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma on his leg;[4] he was taken to New York City where he underwent chemotherapy and received a hip replacement at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.[4] After his successful recovery, Lloreda published his first book two years later, Mis Memorias del Memorial (My Memories of Memorial) (1983), in which he recounts his experience as a cancer patient and survivor.[4] He completed his secondary studies at the Anglo Colombian School in 1985.
Lloreda graduated in 1990 from the Pontifical Xavierian University, where he received his Bachelor of Laws. In 1994 he received a Master of Public Administration from Columbia University in New York City. He later completed a Master's in Latin America Public Policy (2003) and a Doctorate of Philosophy (2010) from St. Antony's College of the University of Oxford.[5]
Early career[edit]
Lloreda started working at his family's newspaper, El Pais in Cali, Colombia, and became active in politics. He has moved between positions with the family newspaper, in government, starting at the local level; and academia. His variety of positions have given him experience in numerous leadership roles.
He was Private Secretary (or assistant) to the Mayor of Bogotá in 1988-1989. Lloreda held the position of Executive Director for the Colombian Federation of Local Governments from 1989 to 1991.[6] He returned to graduate school for his first master's degree.
Following that, from 1994–1995, Lloreda served as Chief of Staff of the Mayor of Cali and the Municipal Secretary for Public Finances. He next was appointed as Director of the Local Planning Department of the Municipal Government of Cali from 1995 to 1997.[6]
He served as Editor-in-Chief of El Pais from 1998 to 2002.[6] After years including public service, he returned to graduate school for additional studies, as noted above.
Marriage and family[edit]
Lloreda married María Cecilia Cabal Castro, a pediatric dentist, on 8 January 2000.[7] They have two children together: Camilo (b. 2004) and Andrea (b. 2007).
Minister of Education[edit]
In 2000 at the age of 35, Lloreda was appointed by President Andrés Pastrana Arango as Minister of National Education[8] replacing Germán Bula Escobar who had been with Pastrana since 1998. He was sworn in as the 77th Minister of National Education on 18 July 2000 by President Pastrana at a ceremony at the Palace of Nariño.[9] He served in Pastrana's Cabinet until the end of his term on 7 August 2002.
In 2005 and 2006 he was Director of the Public Policy Observatory and simultaneously held the position of Professor at the Universidad Icesi in Cali, Colombia. He served again at El Pais as Editor-in-Chief from 2006 to 2007.
Lloreda was sworn in as Ambassador on 9 May 2008 by President Álvaro Uribe Vélez at the Palace of Nariño,[10][11] and presented his Letters of Credence in a ceremony to Her Majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands on 2 July at Noordeinde Palace in The Hague.[12] He served in this position until 2010.
Being dually accredited, Lloreda had earlier presented his credentials as Permanent Representative of Colombia to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons at The Hague on Friday 6 June to Director General of the OPCW Rogelio Pfirter.[6] Ex officio, he was also Representative of Colombia to the Assembly of State Parties to the International Criminal Court, the Administrative Council of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and the Common Fund for Commodities.
Presidential Advisor[edit]
On 4 November 2010, while Lloreda was still serving as Ambassador to the Netherlands, President Juan Manuel Santos Calderón appointed him as High Presidential Advisor for Coexistence and Citizen Security, a new cabinet-level position aimed at reducing crime in cities and its causes.[13][14]

text: Training Future Teachers through Online Exchanges François Mangenot Training future teachers for and through Online Exchange Online interaction and collaboration is 'infamously' difficult to organise and implement [O'Dowd, Epal 2009] It is quite clear that our capacity to make effective use of information technology in educational settings is impaired by inadequate preparation of teachers (as well as learners) [Spector, de la Teja, 2001] Outline 1. Overview / parameters of online exchanges (i. e. telecollaboration) 2. A case study: training future teachers into e-learning (and IT) through an online exchange, Le Français en (première) Ligne 3. Planning online interaction through communicational scenarios? 1. Some parameters of on-line exchange « A great diversity » (O'Dowd, Epal 2009)… Language(s) used during the exchange More or less focus on the cultural dimension Tasks, project, collaboration? Number of participants, individuals or groups Tutoring (or no online guidance) Mode of integration (=>assessment), blended learning Communicational tools / scenarios (see part 3) References: Warschauer & Kern (2000), Belz (2003), Belz & Thorne (2006), Dejean & Mangenot (2006), O'Dowd (2007), Degache & Mangenot (2007), EPAL Conference Proceedings 2007 & 2009 (EPAL=« échanger pour apprendre en ligne »). Language(s) Two languages, reception & production: reciprocal learning (Tandem as archetype) Two languages but production only in L1 (Cultura) Several languages of the same family (Galanet: Romance languages) Only one language: not all partners are language learners (O'Dowd, 2006) English as lingua franca (Japan-Korea in O'Dowd) participation in non-educational networks (Hanna & de Nooy, 2003, Ollivier, 2007) future teachers interacting with learners More or less focus on the cultural dimension Cultura as archetype Language always linked with culture, but more or less focus on ICC development: « The move from exchanging information to intercultural learning is very hard to achieve » (O'Dowd, 2009). The issue of « failed communication » (Belz, Thorne, Ware, etc.): Differences in communication style, tools culture-of-use Online intercultural interaction requires specific skills and attitudes Issue of visible and invisible culture: facts and communicative ethos (Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 2004). Tasks? Project? Collaboration? Task-based design (see Müller-Hartmann 2000, 2007): frequent but not unique model Le français en (première) ligne = task-based No compulsory tasks (e-Tandem) Questionnaires + forum discussions (Cultura) Projects (i. e. collective realisation of a « product » over a rather long period, Progetto Incontro, Tridem) Combination of above approaches: Galanet Different distance working modes (Mangenot & Dejean-Thircuir, 2009) Joint problem space, negotiation of meaning Small group work Common output Sharing Not necessary No No (parallel outputs) Discussing Yes No No (but interactivity) Cooperating Yes Yes Collaborating Yes Yes Yes (but division of labor) Yes (all steps in common) Participatory structure (Ellis, 2003) "The participatory structure of a lesson refers to the procedures that govern how the teacher's and students' contributions to the performance of the task are organized " (Ellis, 2003). " Careful design " of " work flow processes " (Dooly, 2007) A lot more possibilities online than in F2F class: One to one / e-mail (Tandem) One to one to one / audioconferencing + blogs (Tridem) Small collaborative groups with different tools: Groups of 6 to 10 performing tasks in forums under the guidance of 1 or 2 tutors (Français en (première) ligne) Larger groups performing discussions (Cultura) Example: desktop or room-based videoconferencing (O'Dowd, 2007) At a distance: Projetto Incontro, Tridem Locally: On fait de la radio?, Galanet Guidance? Integration? No online tutors but integration into F2F class (Tandem, Cultura, Progetto Incontro) Online tutors who are more moderators + integration into F2F class (Galanet) Online tutors = future teachers (Le français en (première) ligne) Assessment… (« very little of course grade is awarded for completion of exchanges despite high work load », O'Dowd, Epal 2009) 2. Le français en (première) ligne Learners of French / Pre-service teachers (Masters Program) communicate in French [project devised by Christine Develotte, Lyon, and launched in 2002 by F. Mangenot in Besançon] Different objectives for the 2 groups: learn French / be in contact with French culture through native partners / tutors train ICT & e-learning through a « learning by doing » approach / reflect upon this experience Since 2002 : Australia (Sydney, Melbourne), USA (North Virginia, Berkeley), Spain, Japan, Latvia // universities of Besançon, Grenoble 3, Lyon 2, Luxembourg (>500 students) All online tasks and interactions have been saved… Project website (description, tasks, interaction samples): http://w3.u-grenoble3.fr/fle-1-ligne Some features of Le français en (première) ligne Fully integrated project (part of study plan – and Asymmetric roles of the partners (peer / tutor, Dejean- Task-based approach, strong guidance (=> pre-service assessment - on both sides) Thircuir & Mangenot, 2006) teachers learn how to design tasks for distance learning and how to be a tutor) For the future teachers, ICT training through a situated learning approach (Develotte, Mangenot, Zourou, Recall 17(2), 2005, Mangenot, Zourou, 2005) e. g. Audacity (see Mangenot, Zourou, 2007, Alsic) A cultural dimension exists for both groups Which teaching skills aimed at through this project? Two different versions in Lyon and in Grenoble: synchronous vs. asynchronous interactions (which lead to different skills, see Guichon, 2009, Salam & Valmas, 2009) Technological know-how: LMS, sound, picture and video software, communication tools Integrating technology into a syllabus, conceptualising CALL (Levy) Task design: more accurate instructions, input Online tutoring: socio-affective, socio-cognitive and organisational dimensions, corrective feedback Intercultural competence How are the future teacher evaluated? No grade for task design nor for tutoring (high motivation, see Develotte, Mangenot, Zourou, 2005) Interaction analysis of a previous year (done in dyads) = 50% of the grade Reflective blog advised… Reflective report due after the end of the exchange = 50% of the grade Two difficult dimensions A time consuming project (for the future teachers) Problem: task design and tutoring takes approx. 10 hours / week (+ 4 h in class) Solution: a course with 7,5 credits (ects) Another solution: task design by a pair for the whole group, synchronous exchange (Lyon) Intercultural competence: Cultural differences may remain unnoticed or not enough deepened. Example 1 Reflective practices, but not enough time… and no change in attitude. Example 2… Forum message extracts from Japanese students (the task consisted in comparing the course of an ordinary student's day in France and in Japan – French tutors had provided a multimedia description of their day) So, I don't do much homework. I think you work more than me. Me too, I watch TV in the evening, but I don't work much. I think you are more hardworking than me. I work less than you after dinner; hence you are a better student than me!!!! Then, you work much better than me… After [dinner], I do my homework for the next day. But I am more whimsical than you; hence I stop at 10 pm. Example taken from (Mangenot, Zourou, 2007) A « revisited rich point » (Thorne, 2006) which did not elicit a change in attitude As I already said it in class, I had a hard time coping with our learners behaviour: they were underestimating themselves all the time, and were so perfectionist with their productions. Whereas at the beginning, I could give attention to their anxiety, later I got fed up with repeating all the time « Don't worry! You manage pretty well, go on like this! ». I had a feeling of dishonesty ("j'ai eu l'impression d'être hypocrite") and I really didn't appreciate this situation. [Extract from a reflective report, 2008] Tokyo – Grenoble exchange: a communicative challenge Partners do not know each other Dissimilar cultures / attitudes / ethos Communication mainly through asynchronous forums (exchange of audio files) One or two tutors for up to 12 students (like in a real e-learning course) Different settings of the Moodle working space ("espace d'exposition discursive", Develotte, 2006). => Examples showing how communication may be affected by the way tools are set up. 3. Communicational scenario The range of activities available in online settings and the multiple conditions of time in which they take place are evidence that the technology demands placed on online teachers are somewhat more significant than those associated with classroom teachers. [Spector, de la Teja, 2001] Bringing future teachers to think in terms of communicational scenarios (for a given task) might be heuristic: pedagoggical and instrumental dimensions. Definition: planning of envisaged online communication (linked to a task) Learning scenario Communicational scenario (tools) Task(s) (outcome) Genre ? Interactions Resources Sub-tasks student/tutor Chronology Mangenot, 2008 between peers Parameters of a communicational scenario Degree of collaboration, participatory structure, roles "Work flow processes" (Dooly, 2007), information to be exchanged Chronology (synchronous / asynchronous) Tutoring Tools and their affordances (ex. blog), their "habitual uses in society" (O'Dowd, 2007) Examples from Tokyo – Grenoble (1) Task: « Would you prefer to study in Paris or in Grenoble? » Type/genre: Discussing an issue Resource: Internet sites about both cities Challenge: finding the right arguments Participatory structure: dyads of Japanese students record their voice (mp3); ideally, one prefers Paris, the other Grenoble… Transcript of an oral production in French (Paris –Grenoble, total length = 1 min.) Where do you want to study? I prefer Paris. Why? Because it is more convenient, there is a subway, buses, etc. And you, where do you want to go? I prefer Grenoble, because I love skiing. I envy you. In Paris, there is a lot to see, for instance the Louvre or Orsay Museum. In Grenoble, there is a lot of nature. […] Examples from Tokyo – Grenoble (2) Task: « Tell me about a Japanese tradition » Type/genre: Explaining something Resource: a self-made (by the tutors) video about the ritual of tasting wine Challenge: managing to explain traditions Participatory structure: dyads of Japanese students record their voice (mp3) for the French tutors Transcript of an oral production in French (Japanese tradition, total length = 1 min.15) Hello, I'm Takuya I'm Naokazu Today, we are going to present you with Japanese traditions. I think a unique and funny tradition in Japan is the crowded train. There are a lot of people in a car. I often hear foreigners who get surprised at seeing the crowded trains at peak hours. It's quite tiring for the people who go to work that way. So, we go to Hanami [Cherry blossom feast] to take a rest in spring. [Naokazu tells about the Hanami tradition] Examples from Tokyo – Grenoble (3): instructions Task 5: The land of the rising sun and me Step 1: You are going to listen to short interviews of 4 French people of different ages: Romain (10), an elementary school pupil, Camille (17), who is in her last secondary school year (just before entering university), Ludovic (39) and Françoise (55), who are both employed. We asked them what Japan called up for them. Step 2: […] fill in the comprehension sheet […] Step 3: You are going to reply to at least 3 French people you've just listened to. Tell them about Japan taking into account what they have said. Work individually. Record separate monologues (at least 1 min each) for each person. Speak to the person: « Hello, Romain, you are right », « Hello, Camille, you ought to… ». Transcript of oral productions Interview : (French tutor, her son Romain 10) So, Romain, I'd like to hear what you know about Japan. I know… er… there are many mangas… there are many videogames, there are many people… So is it… Reaction from a Japanese student: Hello Romain. You are right, in Japan there are quite interesting mangas. I like Dragon Ball most of all. Which mangas do you like? And then, I also like videogames. I love… The land of the rising sun and me Task: replying to 4 French people of different ages (other than the tutors) who express what Japan calls up for them Type/genre: Dialogue (but asynchronous) Resource: 4 brief interviews (audio files, 1') Challenge: to establish a contact with unknown interlocutors despite asynchronicity Participatory structure: one to one (a Japanese student talks to one of the 4 French people, and then to another); French people may reply. Summary of part 3 Communicational scenario: tools, participatory structure, working mode, chronology, guidance, information flow… Exploiting tools in relation to their affordances Importance of a real information exchange (see TBLT) Input / Output as social genres (ex. 2 & 3) Conclusion : our future teachers have been trained to… Design online tasks (internet as input and as medium) and communicational scenarios Communicate socially online (socio-affective role of a tutor) Explain/Correct/Assess online (cognitive role) Reflect upon their practice Reflect about cultural differences (Intercultural Communicative Competence) And last but not least: they have learnt how to organise an online exchange… Extract from a reflective report (translation) After a 3 months participation in « Le français en première ligne », it is time for me to reflect on this experience and to assess it. This project has been terribly time-consuming throughout the whole semester and demanded a strong personal commitment. It has taken me a lot of time to put this experience at a some distance and I still don't always manage to do it, because I became so much involved both personally and emotionally. Thank you for your attention !

Getting to grips with Linux Permissions
From the vault:This article first appeared in issue #1 (October 2000). You'll also find this article on our 10-year anniversary Archive DVD included in issue #120 (November 2010).
With any operating system it is important to ensure that users remain in control of their files and directories and are prevented from tampering with those belonging to other users, or the system. This is what the Linux permissions system is all about, as Jono Bacon explains.
The 10-year anniversary issue hits newsstands starting:
Europe: October 4
North America: October 29
Australia: November 29

Permissions are at the heart of how Linux works. Some operating systems (such as MS-DOS and some variants of Microsoft Windows) treat all files in the same way. This means that any user can change any file. Usually, there is only one kind of user.

Dr. Ausaf Sayeed, Consul General of India in Chicago released Dr. Sarada Purna Susarla Sonty's book titled "Nadanandam: Genesis and Evolution of Sanskrit Music Treatises and Significance of a Few Basic Music Concepts" for which she was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.), with the 'Best Thesis Award', in Sanskrit in 2010, by Andhra University, a highly acclaimed and one of the oldest Universities of India. She presented the first three copies of the books to Raja Krishnamoorthi, Former Deputy Treasurer of Illinois and Democratic nominee for the 8th Congressional District, to Padmasri Dr. SV Rama Rao, an accomplished world renowned artist, and to Mrs. Farha Sayeed, wife of Dr. Ausaf Sayeed.
Dr. Sayeed also inaugurated "Sunaada Sudha"- an exhibition of 20 oil portraits of legendary music makers of India through the ages, and released the book compiled by Dr. Sonty and published by Sonty Publications.
The high-profile event, which was hosted by the Consulate General of India on April 15th, 2016 at 3:30 PM at its premises, in collaboration with Sri Annamacharya Project of North America, was attended by a large number of highly eminent persons from different walks of life.
"Music, which is an expression of the highest order, is an offering of the soul, from the soul, and by the soul. Music knows no boundaries; musicians know no barriers. Music takes life and flourishes in the hands of inspired and visionary masters belonging to different regions and religions. They shape it into a form which is so powerfully mesmerizing and enthralling that their creations are remembered and celebrated for centuries", said Dr. Ausaf Sayeed in his inspiring inaugural speech. "Indian music has a long, unbroken, and accumulated heritage spanning over hundreds of centuries and its origin is traced to the vedic time. It is a great legacy and all the Indians are proud of it", he added.
"Dr. Sonty's book, therefore, is a spirited attempt aimed at paying homage to the creative genius of illustrious music composers of India", stated Dr. Sayeed and added that this event represents an opportunity to share the rich Indian cultural heritage with the diverse polity of the US. He advised all the Indian-Americans in general and their younger generation in particular to go through the book, without fail, in order to understand and appreciate the rich heritage and culture of India.
Dr. Sonty, who has been a resident of Chicago for over 40 years, said that Indian music has its roots in vedic literature and is the precious treasure of Indian culture. She said that her book throws light on the history, genesis, and evolution of music traditions of India.
Dr. Sonty stated that she extensively used a number of Sanskrit Treatises, including those written by Sage Bharata in the 2nd century BC, Saint Matanga from the 9th century AD, Saint Saaranga Deva of the 12th century AD, and finally Saint Venkata Makhin of the 16th century for the systematic and scientific study of the four concepts of music, namely, Raga, Tala, Vadya, Prabandha, which are regarded as constituting the foundation of Indian musicology.
"Relevance of the ancient musical treatises to the present-day world and their applications for bringing in peace and harmony have also been discussed, in detail, in the book", stated Dr. Sarada Purna and called for the need for enhanced cultural exchanges, across the globe, in order to understand the dynamics of music in their true and total frame of reference.
Dr. Sonty called upon the Indian-Americans to preserve their cultural, linguistics, personal, and national identities and added that for doing so understanding and learning Indian classical music and its different art forms is a sine qua non.
Dr. Shelly Kumar, Professor of Organic Chemistry and Biological Sciences, Governor State University and President, India Classical Music Society presented a scholarly review of Dr. Sonty's book and said that it is an original contribution in understanding the contribution of India to the world of music. "Considering the fact that the ancient literature on Indian music is available in Sanskrit, Dr. Sonty's book, written in simple English, will be greatly instrumental in enabling the present-day readers, especially their younger counterparts, to understand the nuances of Indian classical music", he added.
While Gunjan Bajpayee from the Consulate of India introduced the dignitaries, Sita Sonty, US Diplomat from State Department, Washington DC was the event's emcee. The inspirational and informative introductions given by both these beautiful ladies added great value to the event.
Saraswathi Ranganathan, a Chicago-based Veena Exponent, played a few compositions of the Indian Music Composers, Ensemble of Ragas, during the exhibition inauguration.
Mr. Tim Bradford, Commissioner, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, Ms. Lauren Gash Illinois Human Rights Commissioner, Former State Representative, Mr Gregg Garmisa, Principal, Studio Gang, Mr.Corky, Siegel Chamber Blues, Mr. David Barr, President, Matteson Rotary Club, and representatives from the Consulate of Lithuania also graced the event.
Dr. Sriram Sonty, Founder Chairman, SAPNA proposed a vote of thanks.
Dr. Sarada Purna Sonty is the co-founder of two major non-profit organizations - SRI Foundation and SAPNA Foundation to preserve, promote, and propagate Indian Classical art, language, and literature. Dr Sonty is also the Director for Center for Telugu Studies. She is a a poet, a scholar, a published author of 10 books, the editor of the literary journal 'Brahmi', and has received scores of titles from various academic and non-profit institutions in India and the U.S. Most recently, she was honored as one of the Top Ten Telugu Living Legends in the USA.
Delicious refreshments were served towards the end of the event which was relished by one and all.

Message handlers in Web API provide you the opportunity to process, edit, or decline an incoming request before it reaches the HttpControllerDispatcher. Message handlers are executed much earlier in the request processing pipeline, hence they are a great place to implement cross cutting concerns in Web API.
Implementing a custom message handler
All message handlers derive from the class HttpMessageHandler. To build your own message handler, you should extend the DelegatingHandler class. Note that the DelegatingHandler class in turn derives from the HttpMessageHandler class.
Consider the following Web API controller.
public class DefaultController : ApiController
public HttpResponseMessage Get()
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, "Inside the Default Web API Controller...");
To create a message handler, you need to extend the DelegatingHandler class and override the SendAsync method.
public class IDGHandler : DelegatingHandler
protected override async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
return base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
The Web API request processing pipeline includes a few built-in message handlers. These include the following:
- HttpServer -- this is used to retrieve the request from the host
- HttpRoutingDispatcher -- this is used to dispatch the request based on the route configured
- HttpControllerDispatcher -- this is used to send the request to the respective controller
You can add message handlers to the pipeline to perform one or more of the following operations.
- Perform authentication and authorization
- Logging the incoming requests and the outgoing responses
- Add response headers to the response objects
- Read or modify the request headers
The following code snippet shows how you can implement a simple message handler in Web API.
public class IDGHandler : DelegatingHandler
protected async override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK)
Content = new StringContent("Inside the IDG message handler...")
var task = new TaskCompletionSource<HttpResponseMessage>();
return await task.Task;
The IDG message handler doesn't process the request message -- it creates response message and then returns it. You can also call the base version of the SendAsync method if you wouldn't like to do anything with the incoming request as shown in the code listing below.
public class IDGHandler : DelegatingHandler
protected async override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
return await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
You can also write code to log the Http requests and the responses that go out in the SendAsync method.
To execute the Web API you can use a test method like the one given below.
public void WebAPIControllerTest()
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
var result = client.GetAsync(new Uri("http://localhost/IDG/api/default/")).Result;
string responseMessage = result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
When you execute the test method, the message "Inside the Default Web API Controller..." is returned as a response message and the test passes. Oh! We did create a message handler, but we are yet to register it to the message handling pipeline.
You would now need to let the Web API infrastructure know where your custom handler exists. To do this, you should register your custom handler in the pipeline. You can register the IDG custom message handler we just created in the Register method of the WebApiConfig class as shown below.
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.MessageHandlers.Add(new IDGHandler());
When you execute the test method again, the text message "Inside the logging message handler..." is returned as a response message and the test passes.
Note that you can also register multiple message handlers to the message handling pipeline as shown in the code snippet below.
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.MessageHandlers.Add(new MessageHandlerA());
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.MessageHandlers.Add(new MessageHandlerB());
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.MessageHandlers.Add(new MessageHandlerC());
The message handlers would be executed in the order in which they have been added to the pipeline and the response would be returned in the reverse order. In other words, at the time of the incoming request, the message handlers are executed in the order in which they are registered. During the outgoing response, the process is just reversed. So, the message handlers are executed in the reverse order of their registration to the pipeline.
You can also implement a message handler that inspects the incoming request and checks if the request contains a valid api key. If the api key is not present or is not valid, it returns an appropriate error message. The following code listing shows how you can do this -- I'm leaving it to you to write the code to validate the api key anyway.
protected override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
string key = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(request.RequestUri.Query).Get("key");
string errorMessage = "You need to specify the api key to access the Web API.";
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(key))
return base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
HttpResponseMessage response = request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden, errorMessage);
throw new HttpResponseException(response);
HttpResponseMessage response = request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, "An unexpected error occured...");
throw new HttpResponseException(response);

Take the (hopefully soon) common scenario of a traditional HTML web site which has a rather horrible structure to it. They kick out the old server and replace all of the content with XML in Cocoon 2 and a structured extendable URI space. However, many people have links into the old URI space which need to be maintained. So Cocoon 2 should accept an old URI, and send a redirect to the client, so that they go to the correct new page and are informed of the new URL (the location changes). I think that this needs to be addressed in the sitemap somehow, maybe with a <redirect> block along with the <process> blocks. Hmm.... Regards, Ross Burton

I remember feeling numb.
I couldn't feel anything at all.
The family dropped us off at our room and said they'd come back for us later and take us to dinner after we'd got changed. I told my brother to go for a shower, and I sat on my parents bed.
Tears started flowing down my cheeks and the sobs soon followed. I'd never felt so alone so... abandoned.
I calmed myself down, took a few deep breaths and pulled myself together, I had to be strong for my brother.
Me and my brother got changed in silence and went with the family to dinner.
They took us to a restraunt in the hotel, it was a fancy medditarranean one, there was a pig on a spit, turning round and round. I sat staring at it the whole time, watching it's flesh get blacker and blacker.
We sat in silence the whole time.
We decided to go to the show that night, it was a comedy one and my brother had been really looking forward to it. So had my dad.
Matt giggled the whole way through it, his laugh was so cute. It made me happy that he was smiling, he didn't really understand what was going on, neither did I but I knew it was bad. I wanted to protect him and make sure nothing bad ever happened to him, but I couldn't protect him from this.
It was dark when we got back to our hotel room, and it was eerily quiet. Not long after we got back I heard the front open and then door slam and my mum came running into the room. In all the panic she hadn't brought her purse, so she couldn't pay the taxi who was waiting outside.
She was frantically searching everywhere. I just watched her. I had never seen my mum look like this, so frantic and scared. Like a deer caught in headlights, she was always so strong.
She finally found money and paid the taxi driver. We all slept together that night, in our parents bed, for the first time in years. It was the only way we would have felt safe.

Miami Heat @ Denver Nuggets under 206.5
I felt so good about all 4 picks that I decided to live dangerously and played a decent-size parlay instead of 4 straight plays. Good luck to anyone who follows.
I agree with your Bull's selection ! The Lakers are short handed this evening and are playing the 2nd game of a back to back. They got blown out last night. Good luck ! $$$

The tattoo on the body of 20-year-old Andrew Rawsaw Jackson proudly proclaims him a ''Thug 4 Life.''
Today he sits in the Clarke County Jail, charged with murder in the early Sunday shooting death of 46-year-old Terry Louis Walton.
Athens-Clarke police said the two men were passengers in a Honda riding along North Hull Street when an argument erupted, the car stopped and Walton got out. A bullet from a large-caliber deer rifle fired from the car killed Walton seconds later. Police say Jackson fired the shot.
Jackson was picked up on murder warrants at a Watkinsville trailer home early Wednesday, the second time in a month he'd been arrested.
He was released from jail five days before the shooting after making $1,500 bond on a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge, Clarke County court records show. He pleaded guilty in Athens-Clarke Municipal Court to a misdemeanor marijuana charge two days before Walton's murder, getting a 12-month probated sentence and a $525 fine.
Terry Louis Walton
Most of Jackson's lengthy criminal record involves misdemeanors -- criminal trespass, fighting, disorderly conduct and obstruction. The one serious charge he faced three years ago was dismissed.
Court records show Jackson, 17 at the time, was indicted on a felony charge of aggravated assault in August 1998.
Bryan Pomerantz told police he stopped his car on Glendale Drive to ask for directions and Jackson pulled a gun on him, demanded money and struck him in the head with the gun.
A Magistrate Court judge dismissed an armed robbery charge for lack of evidence. After numerous failed attempts to get Pomerantz to appear in court, prosecutors with the Western Circuit District Attorney's Office dismissed the aggravated assault charge.

My name is Tasmia and I am a Shadowbeing which as you probably already know means I can morph into the shadows and become a part of them. I have silver hair that goes down to my waist. My eyes are as black as the night sky. I was born like this. We age like humans do but then we stop at age sixteen. Well most of us do. Some continue until they're like twenty.
I was just wandering through the shadows like I would any night when I came upon this hotel thing. So I just slipped right it. No one would notice unless they had great sight which by looking at some of the people they probably did.

Demi captioned this gem "#TBT five minutes ago..." We appreciate a gal who's got a sense of humor and is ok with making herself look goofy.
And while we're on the topic of goofy, isn't this a cute pic? Most regular people would never share an unflattering double chin pic on social media. Except Demi, because Demi rocks.
Instead of boozing it up at a Hollywood club, Demi Lovato spent her 21st birthday this past summer on safari in Africa.
And Demi is never afraid to go makeup-free. She looks like she just woke up here but she looks gorg, nonetheless.
This photo that Demi posted in April 2013 even inspired #Lovatics to go makeup free on their own Insta pages. Way to start a movement, lady!
Demi's jokey caption for this pic was "just getting red carpet ready..." Who needs a glam squad when you can have a face 'stache?
Did booking cover stories on the world's biggest magazines make Demi cocky? Not at all. She shared this "awkward run-in" that she had with herself at CVS. CVS! So down-to-earth.
Blue hair, don't care! Demi's rocked blue locks for the majority of this season of X-Factor, clearly not caring what people think. And that rocks.
At a "#hollyweirdparty," as Demi so eloquently typed, Demi took off her shoes while at a fancy restaurant, yet again proving that it's cool to be yourself, no matter the occasion.
Slutty cat costume? Not for Demi! Demi proved that Halloween can be fun and not just an excuse to dress slutty when she shared this cute shot.
When Demi's fans asked for a selfie, she shared this high-larious pic instead of a cliche cleavage shot. Kardashians, take note.

fuel economy
Hey all
im sure you all know about how the gas mileage of the V8s are, if i got a hypertech programmer could i somehow adjust it to get better fuel economy like 20mpg or more?
Re: fuel economyOriginally Posted by capn
The main thing that governs fuel economy is the mass of the vehicle and the way that it is driven. "V8's" get poor economy...???....not really unless you put your foot into it all the time....!!! The V8 isn't the problem....the acceleration that feels so good is what costs fuel economy. In town it is going to be hard to get 20 MPG on any car the mass of an Eldo but you should easily get well over 20 on the highway with your car. If not, then there is nothing that a hypertech controller can do to help it.
Even if it could, consider the cost of the aftermarket controller and how much fuel you could buy with that money and how far it would take you. Probabably little or no business case for the aftermarket controller even if it did work.
Do you have a 4.9 or a Northstar engine??
If you have a 4.9 make sure that the EGR tubes under the throttle body are clean and use a timing light to bump the timing up 2 or 3 degrees. Those two things will do more to ensure you are getting the best economy than anything else.
With the 93/94 Northstar the intake needs to be removed and the phenolic spacer plates cleaned thoroughly to make sure the EGR system is flowing correctly. That , and run good gasoline in the engine. The Northstar has a very effective knock control system that will retard the spark advance to prevent detonation which will hurt the economy some. Run premium fuel to make sure that this is not a problem to get the best fuel economy.
Re: fuel economy
i have the 94 4.6 northstar, and i ran it through a scan tool and got some codes i forget the number but it was somehting like EGR pipett malfunction and some others, i should have wrote them down and i do alot of highway driving and im getting like 16.5 mpg but maybe like once a week i gas it to show a ricer whos boss other than that i drive like a grandma only going up to 2,500rpm
and in NC we only have 87 89 asnd 93 octane and since it is recomended that you use 91 i have to use 93 so i should be getting better fule economy right?

Big Power in a Small Package! The Rigid Industries SR-Q LED Light is one of the most versatile lighting products on the market today. This compact LED light can be used for virtually any lighting application from off-road to agriculture. The SR-Q utilizes the same technology as the D-Series, but in a wide configuration, instead of square. The size and shape of the SR-Q LED Light allows it to fit almost anywhere. Its cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens are sealed against the elements for years of trouble free operation.
The Marine Series products are given special attention due to the elements they will be exposed to in a marine environment. The aluminum housing receives a chromate conversion coating that acts as a corrosion inhibitor against elements such as salt. The housing is given a high quality, UV-resistant powder coat finish. Rigid Industires uses 316 marine grade stainless steel hardware that receives a coating that's been tested for over 1,000 hrs of corrosion resistance. The mounting bracketry included with marine products are also 316 stainless steel. This product does not include a wire harness or switch, due to the fact that most installations on marine equipment are custom and require smaller holes and unique components.
The patented Hybrid optics system is the most powerful, most efficient LED optics system on the market. Utilizing a combination of lens and reflector, the Hybrid optics system captures the maximum amount of light emitted from the LED and projects it exactly where you want it.
10 Degree Spot Pattern version of the Hybrid optics system projects light over great distances in a concentrated beam. It's the most powerful spot style LED light in the industry. This light is perfect for high speeds or any situation where you need extreme distance. The Spot offers a wider beam with less waste than the competition. While maintaining higher center intensity than any other system available.
Spreader Lights are bright lights that are designed to cover a wide area. Used on many types of marine applications from Sail boat masts and off shore fishing boat towers to light up the fishing area or deck. Power boats, fishing boats and other boating platforms also use spreader lights are used to light up decks, underneath gunnels and anywhere you need to light up a large area. Similar to the power of a flood light, the spreader lights provide more of a "cloud" of light to help give you more coverage using less power.
The circuitry on the SR-Q is designed in-house to be more powerful, be more efficient, and generate less heat. Durable aluminum housings feature custom, over sized heat sinks which keep the temperature down and allow the LED's to run cooler and brighter. All Rigid Industries LED lights receive a high quality powder coat finish, a custom molded rubber seal, and an unbreakable, scratch resistant lens. Rigid Industries LED lights are engineered to withstand whatever you, the road, or nature can throw at them.

A new program helps parents care for children born in the NICU
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Babies born prematurely usually have to spend time in a neonatal intensive care unit. A new program is helping parents transition to home life after they leave the NICU. It's a service provided by Advanced Home Health.
The goal is to get the babies caught up with their weight and developmental age by the time they turn one.
Four year old Addison and three year old Kaitlin are a handful for mother Danielle Pitt. Now add in newborn twins Ashton and Madeline.
"It's really overwhelming," said Pitt.
Thursday the twins are getting their bi-weekly visit from a neonatal nurse from Advanced Home Health.
"She {the nurse} just knows my babies really well. she's been here since they've come home," said Pitt
The twins arrived much earlier than expected, at 29 weeks. Ashton spent 77 days in the NICU and Madeline spent 92.
"It's scary, because they have medical issues and you're so used to having them hooked up to life saving machines all the time and then they come home and it's like no more machines, you're on your own, you gotta make sure everything is okay," said Pitt.
After spending months in the NICU, getting more help wasn't something pitt was excited about.
"When they first told us they were going do that I thought oh geez really, it's like you're never going to get away from the NICU, but it's been a blessing," said Pitt.
The nurse checks the babies reflexes, also their weight gain, and helps pitt adjust Madeline's gastrointestinal tube for feedings.
For a mom of four kids under the age of four, she'll take all the help she can get.
Advanced Home Health does take the major insurance providers and medicaid for their services.
Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center is holding a walk in Idaho Falls Friday at 9:00 a.m.
After the walk there will be activities for families.
