Jason Heath and the Greedy Souls Tell the Story of "In Love With My Gun" (premiere)
There are some who have had enough of handgun violence. Roots rockers Jason Heath and the Greedy Souls engage the gun debate in "In Love With My Gun".
"In Love With My Gun" is the latest track culled from Jason Heath and the Greedy Souls' 2017 album But There's Nowhere to Go. As the tune's title suggests, the song takes up the omnipresent issue of guns and gun control in the United States.
"The video is a bit controversial," the Los Angeles-based Heath says, "but I think it's timely and pertinent to the gun control debate. The treatment was a collaboration between director Jorn Van Oostende and me. Working with the lyric, 'I'm Miss America's favorite son / I've got bloody red hands / I was born with a gun', the concept of a Miss America pageant winner giving birth to an actual gun was conceived (no pun intended) as a darkly humorous, hyperbolic metaphor for our national obsession with guns and our desensitized consumption of violence as entertainment."
He adds, "Although the imagery is sensational, shocking, and presented in a 'tongue in cheek' manner, it is in no way intended to dismiss or devalue the thread of gun violence or the loss victims have suffered. The song and video are, in fact, a direct response to the insanity of gun violence in America." He notes that the song was partially inspired by school shootings but also "by the violence and disproportionate use of force against people of color. The song was inspired by the violence and 'gun culture' that exists in the underserved communities I've visited working with incarcerated youth in Los Angeles as part of the Jail Guitar Doors team. I don't believe it's a 'right' or a 'left' issue, to me and to the band, it's more of a 'right' or 'wrong' debate. No matter what side of the political line you find yourself on, I think we can agree that we have a problem that needs addressing."
The end of the clip, he says, provides links to sites where people can find information about organizations attempting to affect change, including the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Brady Campaign, Every Town, Giffords and Black Lives Matter.

Biology is a subject that needs a lot of understanding and conceptual knowledge. Most of the topics are general and are repeated in all the classes. For eg., photosynthesis, human anatomy, organs systems, species, types of species are taught in all the classes. Therefore, it is very important to have the basic knowledge of these topics so that you find it easy to grasp in higher classes.
In order to score well in the Biology examination, you need to keep a few points in mind. Let us have a look at some of such points.
You should make notes while studying. Writing down the important points makes it easier for you to revise during the examination. You don't have to go through the entire syllabus.
Diagrams are the most important part of Biology. No explanation is complete without a diagrammatic representation. Accompanying each answer with a diagram helps you score well during the examination.
Practice the NCERT Solutions and sample papers for further understanding of the topic. You can also solve the previous year question papers for better practice. This will help you analyse your shortcomings and help you overcome them.
Memorize the scientific names. Though these are difficult to memorize but can help you score well if you mention them in your answers. The names of the scientists and their contribution should also be remembered.
You can also seek guidance from your teachers and seniors. They can help you with important topics and answering skills. You can talk to your elders for some motivation. Their tips are a real stress-buster during the examination.
Biology is not an easy nut to crack. It takes a lot of hard work and concentration to get through the examination. The tips mentioned in this article might help the students fare well in the examination and come out with flying colours.
For any information on Biology related topics such as plant cell, cytoplasmic function, cells, DNA structure, visit BYJU'S website or download BYJU'S app for further reference. You can also subscribe to the BYJU'S YouTube channel for interesting video lessons.

Texts and translations included
One of the features of the pre-romantic age is the mixture of sacred and secular elements in culture, including music. Everyone knows that Johann Sebastian Bach used secular music for his sacred cantatas. Sometimes one finds secular and sacred elements in the same piece, for instance in the wedding cantata Meine Freundin, du bist schön, by Johann Christoph Bach. One way in which sacred and secular music came together was the practice of contrafactum: the substitution of one text for another without substantial change to the music, as New Grove defines it.
One of the best-known contrafacta is the chorale O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden, which is included in Bach's St Matthew Passion but whose melody was originally written for a love-song by the late 16th-century German composer Hans-Leo Hassler. The use of music for new texts tells us something about the popularity and appreciation of the original music. The madrigals by Claudio Monteverdi were also the subject of this practice of contrafactum. How much this was inspired by admiration for Monteverdi's creations is expressed in a letter by the Angelo Grillo, a poet and Benedictine monk from Montecassino who is quoted in the booklet to the present disc which is largely devoted to contrafacta of Monteverdi's madrigals. "Given that these works called for great deliberation and preparation, my monks pondered over them constantly before allowing me to hear a single part and, whilst my heart was enraptured by the delicacy of the harmony, my intellect was delighted by the originality of the language." Obviously the very fact that monks studied and sang those madrigals proves that there was no watershed between the secular and the sacred at that time. Moreover, Grillo himself was the author of love poetry, albeit published under a different name.
The contrafacta on this disc are taken from two sources, both collections of madrigals with new sacred texts in Latin - which made them usable in the liturgy - or spiritual texts in Italian, to be used in domestic circles or in convents. These contrafacta were the work of Aquilino Coppini, professor of rhetoric at the University of Padua, and were published in Milan in 1607 and 1609 respectively. He chose madrigals by contemporary composers, and especially from Monteverdi's fourth and fifth books and wrote new texts with the music remaining unaltered. This was certainly not an easy task. "[He] expressly created new Latin texts and took care to ensure that their formal and rhetorical mode of expression would not be in conflict with the original poems." However, that was not the only thing to care about. The structure of the Italian verse also had to be kept intact and because of the close connection between text and music in Monteverdi's madrigals "the spiritual versions needed to reproduce a comparable emotional intensity at the right moment, with expressions varying from the bitterest grief to an uncontrollable joy." If one listens to the madrigals included here one has to be impressed by Coppini's skills in achieving these goals. They sound as if the music was originally written for these texts. Time and again there are striking examples of textual elements eloquently illustrated in the music.
An interesting point is how this practice was received, by the ecclesiastical authorities and by composers whose compositions were used. Marco Bizzarini, in his liner-notes, reminds the reader that the Council of Trent had decided that all secular elements should be banished from the liturgy. Coppini was able to obtain the support of Cardinal Federico Borromeo, the archbishop of Milan. His reasoning is quite inventive: he "subtly pointed out that there were also many Christian churches built upon pre-existing pagan temples and suitably reconverted." As far as the composers are concerned, at least in the case of Monteverdi no objection against this practice is known. That is confirmed by the fact that he himself followed this practice when in his collection Selva morale e spirituale of 1640 he included a contrafactum himself: the Pianto della Madonna is a reworking of his famous Lamento d'Arianna from his now lost opera Arianna.
It makes much sense that the disc opens with this piece. The Lamento is a piece for solo voice which Monteverdi later arranged for five voices and included in his sixth book of madrigals of 1614. This was the basis for the polyphonic version of the spiritual contrafactum of 1640, created by the ensemble and recorded here for the very first time. It is to be hoped that this version is going to be published, because it would be a really great addition to the repertoire, especially that for Passiontide.
Although not all the pieces are connected to this period of the year, the suffering and death of Jesus is a kind of thread in the programme. Stabat virgo Maria is comparable in content to the Stabat mater; it is a contrafactum of the madrigal Era l'anima mia from the fifth book. Mary is also the subject of Maria, quid ploras: "Mary, why are you weeping at the sepulchre?" Ecco Silvio from the same book was turned into Qui pependit in cruce: "He who hung upon the Cross, my God, may he free me through his power". Qui pietate tua also refers to Jesus' suffering at the Cross. Tu, Iesu Christe is about the fruit of Jesus' Passion: "To give me life you were wounded, (...) through your death you, Christ, have delivered me". Rutilante in nocte is a piece for Christmas: "In the ruddily-glowing night choirs of angels joyously rejoice". Pulchrae sunt genae tuae has its origin in the madrigal Ferir quel petto from the fifth book and has received a text strongly inspired by the Song of Songs: "Beautiful are your cheeks, my beloved, my sister, my bride".
The rest of the programme is filled with original sacred works from Monteverdi's pen. The motets, for five or six voices and bc, are from a collection which was edited and published by Giulio Cesare Bianchi, a cornettist who for ten years worked at the court in Mantua where he was Monteverdi's colleague. These motets are among the best-known sacred works by Monteverdi, and are frequently sung by chamber choirs. They are written in the stile antico but include the traces of the modern concertante style, especially in the connection between text and music which is strongly emphasized in the performance by La Compagnia del Madrigale. In the opening lines of Domine, ne in furore tuo, for instance, there are some striking dynamic contrasts, much stronger than in performances that I have heard before. The ensemble's approach makes them much more exciting and expressive.
The disc ends with another piece included in a collection published by Bianchi which was entirely devoted to Marian pieces. The Letanie della Beata Vergine is for six voices and bc. Monteverdi doesn't follow the practice of other composers of dividing the lines into two halves to be sung by opposing groups. Not every invocation is followed by an "ora pro nobis". Mostly Monteverdi sets this phrase once, closing a group of connected invocations, for instance those beginning with "mater" or "virgo".
Several discs by this ensemble have been released and so far I have heard them all. Every one of them was a winner and in my view La Compagnia del Madrigale is the world's best ensemble for this kind of music. It is impressive how well the voices blend without any of them losing its individual character. The text and its affetti are always in the centre. The dynamic control is impressive; one doesn't hear that often the tool of the messa di voce so incisively being used as here, for instance in Stabat virgo Maria. As I already indicated, the polyphonic version of the Pianto della Madonna is very important and it receives a brilliant and highly emotional performance. Never the emotions in these pieces are exaggerated; the expression is always carefully balanced.
This is a splendid disc which offers something of a new perspective on parts of Monteverdi's oeuvre.

On balance I am sure you would want Stuart Armstrong in the squad than not. He has been a clear success since arriving from Dundee United three years ago, but injury did not do him any favour last season, as he was unable to win back his starting place when fit.
The appetite for either the club or player to sign another one-year extension to his contract, which is due to expire in 12 months, will be low. Stuart will either sign a long-term deal on terms equivalent to those he currently earns, leave under freedom of contract next summer, or be sold in August.
West Brom were keen to take the player a year ago, but relegation may force them to reconsider (and may reduce their attractiveness to Stuart). While that move would have earned Stuart a huge contract, the timing was not right for Celtic, who were reluctant to allow a then-first choice player to leave before a replacement could be found.
Celtic will be easier to deal with this summer, but whether Stuart's agent can attract a comparable contract offer as a year ago remains to be seen. What is clear is that Brendan Rodgers is looking to bring fresh talent into the squad, and someone will those already of the fringe of the team will not find it any easier to get game time next season.
The last time Stuart needs is a season on the bench as his contract runs down. I hope he stays and signs a long-term deal, but getting a bumper fee for him, or allowing the rest of the squad to note a cautionary tale on what to do when Celtic offer you a contract, would not be the worst thing.

Florence, Ala.—just a four-hour drive from Atlanta and the home of the new GunRunner Boutique Hotel—was never a sleepy little town, but to people who don't know a lot about this area's music history, it flew under the radar—until now, that is.
A look inside the luxe Billy Reid Suite
SMALL CITY PERKS In 2017, Florence earned a spot on Southern Living's "Best Small Towns" list; next, a local businessman debuted GunRunner Boutique Hotel, a 10-suite hotel downtown, last August. The hotel is a first for the town and the entire area known as The Shoals—and it's capturing the attention of travelers near and far.
ULTIMATE PRIVACY "There was a need in the marketplace [for a boutique hotel], and I felt it was an opportunity to do something unique and create a local atmosphere," says owner Billy Ray Casteel, who took inspiration for the project from Nashville's six-room The 404 Hotel. But don't expect a check-in desk: Designed to give guests a high level of privacy, GunRunner only takes reservations online. You're then sent a passcode to access your room and can come and go as you please. Jason Isbell, Taylor Hicks and Ronnie Milsap are just a few of the regulars who float through the space uninterrupted—and that's the whole point.
HISTORICAL FEATURES MEET HAUTE INTERIORS To stay at GunRunner is to immerse yourself in Florence's rich history. Each of the 10 suites is branded after a local artist, entrepreneur or historic site. Among the options are the Billy Reid suite—with every detail curated by the hometown fashion designer himself, down to the custom headboard and steam shower—the Frank Lloyd Wright suite and the Muscle Shoals Sound suite. Some have 18-foot New Orleans-style balconies overlooking downtown Florence, and all have luxury linens by Peacock Alley and organic bath amenities by local purveyor Reclaimed Spirit.
THE PLACE TO YOURSELF If you can't decide on one room, bring your family or friends along and opt for the Run of the House package. It includes all 10 suites, plus free reign over the 3,200-square-foot common area, adorned with vintage rugs, a cozy fireplace and guitars signed by some of GunRunner's famous guests. Learning to strum a few chords in the very town where Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and even 98 Degrees recorded some of their greatest hits? Now that's going local. Run of the House package from $4,000 per night, 310 E. Tennessee St.

If you thought Action Bronson and Smoke DZA were Big, Bad and Dangerous taken apart, wait'll you see them join forces. On this fresh, unreleased joint, the Flushing spitter and his Harlem counterpart (the latter a freestyle series alum) collide to drop gritty rhymes over a beat by 183rd. While this cut isn't attached to DZA's Rolling Stoned LP (coming August 30) or any other forthcoming project, those digging the record can keep it locked to the Booth or all the latest news and tunes from both collaborators.

Kevin Hart for 2016 Oscars Host
We are fully in favor of Scott Feinberg's hunch.
In his THR analysis of the Academy's choice of Reginald Hudlin and David Hill as the producers of the next Oscars telecast, our colleague Scott Feinberg included the following:
I have a strong suspicion that Hudlin and Hill will tap Kevin Hart for the [hosting] job – the comedian has said it is his dream to host, promising to "turn that event into a youthful night," and I think he would be a brilliant choice who would explode the show's ratings.
FishbowlNY thinks this is a smart idea. The Oscars as we know them are over. It's time for a new kind of host (not named Franco).
Very conveniently, the newly released schedule for the 2016 international leg of Hart's comedy tour is wide open when it Oscars matters most, with a wide gap between Sydney on Feb. 7 and Cape Town March 26 ready to be filled.
Also, how can you not love a guy who ejects from his live performances patrons who ignore a clearly stated cell phone use ban? Certainly, this letter to the syracuse.com editor doubles as a vote from the people for Hart to bring it next February at the Dolby:
To the Editor:
Kevin Hart enforces his own cellphone ban. It's about time cellphone bans were enforced!
Obviously, Hart has the power and motivation to do what people in other public places choose not to do. Every medical waiting room I've ever been in has numerous signs posted forbidding the use of cellphones. And every waiting room has people using cellphones, often within a few feet of the sign! So who does anything about it? The receptionists? The nurses? No way. I guess that's not their job.
One cannot expect people to obey rules when they know they won't be enforced. Kevin Hart, you've sent an urgent message. Way to go! Keep it up. You've managed to control behavior that is annoying. Next step is to enforce traffic laws that will save lives and reduce injuries, insurance claims and insurance costs. Nah — that'll never happen.

These are the colours to wear for spring 2019
Article posted: October 8, 2019
Spring is everyone's favourite season of fashion.
It's the time of year where we get to throw off the dull greys and blacks and embrace the dazzling primary colours we've come to associate with spring.
This season's colours offer something slightly different; something slightly more pared back.
The spring colour palette draws inspiration from jewelled tones, soft pastel hues and rich, mellow tones.
Here are the three hottest colours for spring – and they are all in stores now right across Camberwell shopping precinct.
Forest green
This spring, one gem has pride of place in the jewellery box of fashion: emerald or forest green.
It's bright but not garish; striking but not trashy – and it's undeniably special. Big claim, yes, but when those Munchkins set out to create the most brilliant, impressive city they could, what colour did they choose?
Camberwell's Cue store is showing a gorgeous georgette blouse that will add a splash of life to a corporate look, while Sportsgirl has its casual weekend cousin, the peasant shirt, and Blue Illusion has a stunning emerald green knit that will brighten up even the coolest spring days.
The added bonus? Unlike some shades of green, the earthy tone of forest green means it suits practically every skin tone.
Pastel pink
This season's shade of pink is like millennial pink – which we've all been having a love affair with – but after spending a weekend with Katy Perry in Miami.
We're talking candy shades of pink, in skirts, jackets, tops, and pants – and as many of these you can wear together, the better.
Country Road has casual and structured t-shirts and jackets, as well as a pleated skirt in a shade of pink so pretty you'll be rushing to the store as soon as you see it.
Camberwell shopping precinct also has options for those who prefer something a little more subtle: champagne and nude pink.
Witchery is showing a stunning silk blazer in pale rose; Trenery's soft pink French linen blouse is a showstopper; and Feathers' layered mogul knit in blush pink is as sweet as it is gorgeous to the touch.
Mellow yellow
Nothing will put a spring in your step, and a smile on the faces of all you meet, like this season's favourite colour: yellow.
Decjuba's eye-popping Marilyn midi skirt is as at home with a t-shirt and runners as it is with heels and blazers, and will take you from the office to an evening event; from the races to a backyard barbecue.
Head to Silvermaple Boutique to get your hands on their luxurious silk front panel top in a bright shade of citrus yellow.
Cotton On is giving us a ray of sunshine with some delightfully pretty summer dresses in yellow, and Seed's dusty marigold jumpsuit is so exquisitely cut, you won't need to wear anything else.
As expected, Camberwell shopping precinct has you covered this spring, whatever the occasion.

At the heart of the fight against the Covid-19 outbreak have been the medical professionals in our hospitals and surgeries and in the very front line is Galway football star Tracey Leonard.
An outpatient nurse in normal times, the Corofin native has been thrown into a role as a tester in UCHG's drive-through coronavirus clinic, as dreams of winning a first national senior medal with the Galway Ladies footballers have been filed away on some future bucket list.
Leaders of the Lidl National Football League Division 1 as it stands, Galway – who finished runners-up in both national competitions in 2019 – and Leonard are in the abyss with all sports teams, with no collective training permitted, while they also have no idea when football will resume in 2020.
But 28-year-old Leonard has more important challenges ahead.
For now she is mostly testing her fellow healthcare professionals to ensure they are fit and healthy to serve the public, but they are all expecting a significant spike in their workloads in the coming weeks.

All Quiet on the Western Front is a great story, while also telling about the horrors of war. Taking place in WW1 the story is of a soldier fighting for Germany. It is a great story and the writer, who himself was a soldier in WW1 is writing down his experience as a former soldier, but also presents it as a story. While the language might be dated, but it didn't hinder the reading experience and is also a great help to improve your vocabulary. Overall it is a great story to read and I recommend others to read it.
All Quiet on the Western Front demonstrates that war is not fought by men searching for honor and glory, but men desperately trying to survive and prevent themselves from falling into despair. Remarque pulls the reader into the story by emphasizing that war is fought by those who desire nothing more than to be at peace.
Despite creating an incredible story displaying the horrific effects war has on men, it felt like the ending of the book was rushed. However, if you are interested in reading a book that examines the purpose of war then this book is for you.
In the direct German translation Remarque's novel is known as "Nothing to Report on the Western." Serving in the Trenches in the "War to End All Wars" for the nation of Germany, Erich wrote this novel as a warning to future generations about the horrors of war. While the novel is classified as Historical fiction, because it is in the eyes of fictional characters, Remarque's words bring the Great War to life. From start to finish, the audience is faced with gruesome and bloody death that is made out to be a casual happenstance in the eyes of Paul Baumer. The death of the characters is poetic and each one is described with such reasoning that you'll choke up on tears upon their deaths. The war-plagued Germany described isn't what you'd expect with WW1 propaganda surrounding Germany. Erich brings the reality of war to all aspects of life. From home we see the effects the Great War had on home life and the family trinity. On the front lines we see the desperation of soldiers needing food which leads Paul and his friends to raid the French trenches for food. Note: you will definitely have to look up terms to understand phrases or coined terms. Truly, this is the first book that made me cry. Rating 5/5 @Ezekiel_Hannegan of the Yorba Linda Public Library Teen Book Bloggers
Excellent writing: evocative, honest, moving, tragic, poetic … but not for the faint of heart or squeamish! Definitely gross and gritty, violent, even macabre in places. But I can see why it has stood as a Classic for so long. For me, when I found out the Nazis hated it ( because it is a revelation about organized industrial warfare and the effects it has on the human soul), I loved it all the more.
Although this particular novel's plot line and writing were a bit too descriptive/bland, the book as a whole, on bringing light to the atrocities and fear that the soldiers endured in World War I is a poignant point that Remarque is able to establish
A book I'd been long avoiding, for fear of depression brought by gloom and doom of humanity.
My (reading) journey accompanied soldiers intimate war experience, moments arrested, transience suspended, turned out to be unexpected and unprecedented. Having not grown insensitive to the brutality of killing game, I savored all the available comic relief, humor, satire (from smart cynical Kat, camaraderie's jest, to acrobatic feat of cooking while dodging attack)...
There is no heroic glory, more beautiful than death as the only peaceful destiny.
A good but not great novel. There are much better books about WW I, most of them non-fiction.
Try "The Storm Of Steel" by Ernst Junger and anything by Lyn MacDonald.
Erich Remarque's great war novel All Quiet on the Western Front is undoubtedly the greatest war novel of all time. The story is told through the perspective of Paul Bäumer. The novel details graphic scenes of death and brutality on the Western Front during the First World War. This is a great read for anyone researching or learning of the conditions of German trench life, however it is not suitable for those who may find certain scenes disgustingly graphic and inappropriate. Remarque uses his wartime experiences from the First World War to detail the gruesome scenes of brutality and fighting. With scenes of wartime injuries such as mangled and torn limbs. In conclusion, All Quiet on the Western Front is an astounding that should be read by those interested in learning of trench life in World War One. Therefore, I rate All Quiet on the Western Front deserves a rating of 5 out of 5.

I was searching around and realized I had never read this novel. I am sure I visited a movie but as usual, much more to be gained from the book.; totally worth reading. WWI was a horror. I hope WWII is the last of our "World Wars". Forever

SummaryAdd a Summary
All Quiet on the Western Front is about a young man named Paul who fights on the German Front. He struggles to survive not because of skill, but because of a lack of hope. He begins to realize that the people he is fighting against aren't really his enemies, but rather people just like him. Paul soon realizes that his friends are the only ones that can help him get through war. As Paul's friends begin to slowly leave him, Paul finds that his only way of survival is finding his identity. Remarque not only highlights the struggle in finding a man's identity, but also the journey Paul has to take in order to discover it.
All Quiet on the Western Front is a brutally honest account of the First World War. The book follows the story of Paul Baumer, a 19-year-old German soldier who enlists at the urging of his school teacher. All Quiet on the Western Front provides insight into the horrific nature of trench warfare and shows how the "lost generation" was lost on the muddy battlefields of World War One.

All at once everything seems to me confused and hopeless.
Kropp feels it too. "It will go pretty hard with us all. But nobody at home seems to worry much about it. Two years of shells and bombs—a man won't peel that off as easy as a sock."
We agree that it's the same for everyone; not only for us here, but everywhere, for everyone who is of our age; to some more, and to others less. It is the common fate of our generation.
Albert expresses it: "The war has ruined us for everything."

I'm striving to reach milestones in contemporary Black lesbian writing by helping Black lesbian writers navigate the world of publishing—which marginalizes our contributions and stories.
I had been researching Black lesbian writers for a few years, and I came to realize that the challenges that the women faced in regards to publishing still existed (lack of diversity in publishing; the [false] notion that lesbian literature was now "mainstream;" lack of access to agents, editors, and other publishing professionals; and more than anything, the notion that our stories were somehow unworthy or had no literary merit). I decided right then that I could do something about that.

The Mobile City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve an amendment to take a portion of the revenue from a 20 percent sale tax increase and split it evenly among the city's districts for infrastructure improvements.
With the approval, $21 million of a proposed total of $30 million in additional tax revenue will be split among the districts, for a total of $3 million each. The money is not discretionary, meaning the entire council will have to vote on how the money is spent in each district.
In addition to the money for each district, the general fund will receive $2.5 million, public safety will receive $2.5 million and $5 million will be put into the general fund.
Council President Gina Gregory said prior to the amendment, councilors appropriated funding for infrastructure projects, but had little input on the projects themselves.
"This amendment is about long-range planning," Gregory said. "It gives the council and our constituents a voice."
During the budget process, the council initially extended the one-cent sales tax proposal for three more years, by way of a 6-1 vote. Councilwoman Bess Rich was the lone dissenting vote. Mayor Sandy Stimpson vetoed the extension, but the council voted to override his veto, by a 5-2 vote. Gregory and Rich voted to support Stimpson's veto.
Even Councilman Joel Daves, who voted against recommending the measure during a finance committee meeting Nov. 14, said he was persuaded to support the amendment after speaking with colleagues and members of the administration.
Daves said he was concerned that splitting the revenue seven ways would prevent larger projects affecting multiple districts in the city from being realized. He has since been assured that councilors would work together to accomplish larger projects.
"I continue to have concerns about this, but I will be supporting it in order to give it a chance," he said.
Mayor Sandy Stimpson said he supported the measure and acknowledged the strides the city has made since he took office to make more money available for capital improvements. In the past year, the Stimpson administration increased money for capital projects from $3.5 million in 2014 to more than $14 million set aside in 2015 and $21 million after that.
He said the "significant" vote helps to fulfill a vision he had to spend more money on infrastructure improvements.
"This is a huge, huge deal," Stimpson said.
Councilman Fred Richardson said he will attempt to meet with citizens in his district in order to begin to develop a three-year strategic plan. He said he wants to hear what issues citizens would like to see resolved using $9 million over three years. Some issues, like flooding and drainage problems would have to be addressed first.
"It's a win-win for everybody," Richardson said of the move. "I think we're looking at this in the right manner."
In other business, the council voted to authorize a $69,000 contract with Dorsey and Dorsey Engineering for a litter trap and site improvement on land just north of the McVay Bridge in Eslava Creek.
City Engineer Nick Amberger said with approval the trap could be in place by April of next year. He said the site improvements associated with the contract should also allow the trap to be emptied more easily.
The council also voted to authorize a $175,692 professional services contract with Ascendant Strategy Management Group to develop management policies and protocols to achieve objectives, as outlined in the city's strategy map. Executive Director of Planning and Development Diane Irby said grant money would cover most of the cost.
The council appointed Terry Plauche to the Mobile Tree Commission and Rufus Hudson to the History Museum Board.
Robert Jackson was named Mobile Police Department Officer of the Month for October and was honored by Stimpson at the meeting. In October, Jackson made seven felony arrests, 19 misdemeanor arrests and carried out 121 calls.
Due to Veterans Day Nov. 11, the Council met on Wednesday last week, and Lagniappe was unable to print that the council approved a $320,667 contract with Aeiker Construction Company for a skate park at Public Safety Memorial Park in Midtown. Local businesses have agreed to donate funds for the project, once ground is broken.
Councilwoman Rich wrote in an email to constituents that the contract reduced the costs to build the park by $100,000 from plans released last year. She said she was pleased to learn supporters were committed to raising funds to support the city's effort.

IUTAM Symposium "Solver Coupling and Co-Simulation"
September 18-20, 2017
The Symposium will take place in Darmstadt, Germany.
Co-simulation – also called solver or simulator coupling – is a frequently used numerical technique to couple two or more solvers in time domain. One major field of application for co-simulation methods is the analysis of multi-disciplinary problems.
Usually, specialized simulation codes exist for different physical disciplines, e.g. FEM codes for structural dynamics analyses, CFD codes for fluid dynamic problems or multibody codes for the dynamic analysis of mechanisms. In order to simulate a coupled multidisciplinary problem, the different codes can be coupled by means of an appropriate co-simulation approach. Simulator coupling is, for instance, successfully applied in the field of fluid/structure interaction, for coupling multibody and hydraulic systems or in the analysis of electromechanical systems. Solver coupling may, however, also be used to analyze monodisciplinary problems in order to parallelize the simulation process.
On the one hand, the symposium focuses on recent advances in the development of numerical methods for solver coupling. Of current interest are – amongst others – the following subjects:
- New explicit, implicit and semi-implicit co-simulation methods (with improved efficiency, accuracy and stability behavior),
- New approaches for realizing variable communication-time grids,
- Advances in the stability and convergence analysis of solver coupling methods.
On the other hand, the symposium will pick up recent developments in the practical application of co-simulation methods. Of present interest are for instance the following topics:
- New fields of application for solver coupling approaches,
- New developments in the parallelization of dynamic models with co-simulation techniques,
- Standardization of co-simulation interfaces, i.e. standardization of data and model exchange.
Bringing together experts in these different fields from many working groups from all over the world will enable us to review the state of the art, to discuss further activities, to open problems and to promote common research initiatives for the future.

Operator aims to reduce the £600 million a year spent on calling 0800 numbers from a mobile phone
Three has become the first UK mobile operator (excluding MVNO's) to offer free calls to 0800 numbers to its contract customers.
The news comes three months after Ofcom chief executive Ed Richards (pictured below-right) announced in December that all UK operators must cut the costs for so called free phone numbers (which are free on a fixed line) within the next 18 months. click here for original story
Richards called the changes "the biggest for UK telephone customers in more than a decade"
From today (March 18) customers signing to a Three contract will not pay for 0800, 0808 and 0500 calls, and be charged five pence per minute for calls to 084 and 087 numbers. Standard charges on mobile typically range from between 14 pence per minute to 40 pence per minute.
Existing Three customers can switch to the new plan without charge or extension on their current contract.
Three is also introducing a new service to allow its customers to set specific calling/charge limits to ensure they do not overspend on their deals.
The operator said in a statement today (March 18) it took the decision to cut the fee based on research conducted by YouGov, which questioned 2018 adults online between February 12 and February 13.
The research found 47 per cent of mobile users are affected by 'bill shock' (a higher than expected bill), whilst 10 per cent don't realise they are charged for 0800, 0808 and 0500 numbers, whilst 31per cent blame 0800 and 0845 charges for their higher bills.
Research also highlights that calls to 0800, 0845 and 0870 numbers cost UK mobile consumers an estimated £600 million a year.
The free calls to 0800 numbers, as well as the 5p per minute charge for calls to other 084 and 087 numbers, are illustrated in the table for Three's new tariffs (click right to view in full).
There are data allowances of 500MB, 1GB, 2GB and unlimited data, with each offering unlimited texts, as well as 50, 100, 300, 600 or unlimited minutes. The monthly line rental depends on the smartphone chosen by the customer.
These are available to all new customers. Although these tariffs replace the operator's existing plans, existing customers will not automatically be moved over to them and will continue as they are.
Three CEO Dave Dyson said: "We asked people what frustrated them most about their mobile bills and confusion around the cost of calling 08 numbers came out top by a big margin. These charges are often buried in the small print and they're expensive enough to make most customers fear calling them from their mobiles.
"The cost of calling 08 numbers is something we want to address for our customers.
He continued: "UK mobile users are still afraid to use their devices in many circumstances. That's why we've made it possible for our customers to use their home allowance abroad in 11 countries, including the USA. It's why we've launched 4G at no extra cost and why we've committed not to raise our monthly recurring charges during the minimum period of a contract. "
MVNO Virgin Mobile already offers free calls to 0800, 0845, 0870 and 0808 as part of its £22 per month VIP tariff.

Any parent with an infant knows the joy of throwing your own sleep schedule out the window. When you're woken up at midnight, then again at 2:30am, again at 4:45am, and then finally you get to start your day at 6:57…you find different ways to cope.
My coping this month took the form of MasterChef Junior. So while the rest of my family was cozy in bed, I was up half the night with Gordon Ramsey, Christina Tosi and a dozen adorable kids who somehow know what raspberry coulis is and can whip it up perfectly.
Personally, I never really learned to cook. Getting married forced that responsibility on me. But before that, it was toast and spaghetti all the way.
But a funny thing happened while I was watching these kids blow-torch their homemade marshmallows and marinate their chicken oysters…
Their love for cooking amazing food made me want to cook amazing food too.
Donald Miller also talked about this in his book, Blue Like Jazz. He never liked jazz music, but then he saw a man closing his eyes while playing his saxophone. After that, he liked jazz. Don said, "Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself."
Sometimes it isn't our knowledge that convinces someone to try chiropractic. Sometimes it's our love for it. A lot of people have a negative view of chiropractic. But if we genuinely love what we do, that might be just the thing that changes their minds.

Sorry for the length, but to me it is an incredible story.
I have had a subtle curiosity about crossdressing since I was a kid. I have dressed at home by myself with stuff garnered from yard sales. My wife and I have even played around with it a few times and had a fun. But it has never been discussed openly and about it going any farther. Until last week.
We attend a regular kink party where some of the guys dress up. Everyone thinks it is great. So, I told my wife I wanted to give it a try. We discussed that it might be a one time thing or turn into more. At least it is a place where I am sure to find absolute acceptance.
Money is not abundant for us, so I had been looking into Ali Express and found a dress and other items we could afford. She seemed positive about it all and said she loved the dress I had picked. One of her first statements was that she had just bought an inexpensive bra at Walmart and we could get one for me as well. It took a lot of searching to find the size I needed and the only one there was double what she had expected, but she had no complaints. While walking through the ladies department, she saw a sale on panties and picked out some nice maroon ones that would go with my dress. I bought some birdseed to use in making some breast inserts. I told her I would need some of her old thigh highs. We went to the cosmetic department looking for fingernails which we found behind locked glass. A lady asked if we needed help and my wife said we were interested in some nails. Then she asked me which one I would want since we were buying for me. I almost melted through the floor. She then told the lady it was for a costume party. I don?t think she bought it, but was very nice and willing to help, though she did not have the key. Still not sure if it was a slip of the tongue or a deliberate action, but it was great.
When we left Walmart, we saw a thrift store and went to see if they had a dress. The only one big enough was a bit hideous, but it could be something to try until my order came in. Ali Express takes about a month to ship.
That afternoon, I stopped by a dollar store and saw some nails like the ones at Walmart. I picked them up and put them with the rest of my stuff. My wife went to another dollar store and came home with thigh highs, panty hose and false eyelashes. She found a pair of clip on earrings in her drawer that would work. Yesterday, she went back and bought foundation, mascara and lipstick in two colors. Just about everything I needed. She is going to help me with the makeup.
That night I thanked her for her understanding of my desire. She responded that she was accepting, but did not understand. Fair enough for now, because I do not understand either.
Now, if the Ali Express stuff gets here in time for this month?s party, I will have all of the above plus 3? black pumps, opaque thigh highs in nude and sheer in black, long black curly wig, padded body shaper and a stick on silicone bra for creating cleavage. At the last moment, I remembered a comment she had made and asked if she wanted a matching dress. She clapped and said, ?YES, we can go together.? In all, we will have less than $75 invested in the evening. And we will still have most of it for use later. She can wear her dress whenever she wants.
I know this is nothing new to many of you and I hope it comes across right. I am not boasting, but glorying. I feel like I have won the lottery several times over. All of her support and a chance to dress and go out for the evening. Can?t wait to see what happens.

text: Guest Slye Posted April 24, 2004 I have a family wedding that I'd really like to attend on a weekend about three weeks into UPT. I'm assuming we'll be in academics during that time. How likely is it that I'll be able to fly out, say Friday night/Saturday morning and return on Sunday? If it's possible, would it be advisable due to the high workload and studying or is the material still relatively managable at that point? Thanks for the info!

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- The New York Stock Exchange has threatened to sanction stock-trading specialist LaBranche for refusing to turn over internal e-mails as part of the market's probe of the company, LaBranche officials said Friday.
But the warning did little to dampen a week-ending sector rally.
Elsewhere in the financial sector, the AMEX Securities Broker/Dealer Index $XBD finished up 1 percent and the Philadelphia Bank Sector Index $BKX gained 2 percent.
Shares of LaBranche fell $1, or 5.4 percent, to close at $17.38.
LaBranche said it would continue to resist the efforts by the NYSE, which is investigating several market specialists, "in order to protect its employees' privacy rights."
"LaBranche personnel have given a number of on-the-record interviews to the NYSE, and LaBranche has produced numerous documents, including many thousands of e-mails, the company said Friday.
The Big Board's probe is focused on violations of the "negative obligation" policy. It requires market makers to match buyers and sellers without getting in between them. Instead, some specialists may have bought stock themselves from the seller and sold it to the buyer at a higher price, pocketing the difference. See full story.
On Thursday, LaBranche's Netherlands-based rival Van der Moolen VDM said the Big Board's probe of its trading practices is continuing too.
The company said its lawyers had met with the exchange's regulators, and were told that NYSE wants to resolve the probe, but the lawyers were offered no specific settlement proposal.
Van der Moolen shares rose 2 percent to close at $13.
Also Friday, the Securities Industry Association said securities firms appear to have "turned the corner" and are expected to record pre-tax profit in 2003 of $15 billion, nearly double the $6.9 billion posted in 2002.
Domestically, second quarter profits are seen jumping 11 percent to $3.9 billion. Commissions for the quarter rose 5 percent to $6 billion in second quarter due to increasing volumes and value of trading.
"Now with profits recovering and expected to remain strong in near term, compensation is rising and employment gains are expected for the industry as whole by end year," the industry group said.


text: cealicu_ca 21 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Hi there, I've put my TLDR in the Cooldown 2.0 thread but i really want to expand a bit. Seeing as there is much discussion around this cooldown thing i would like to propose a mechanic that seems pretty good to me (or course it does, duh!, i'm proposing it lol). Ok, let's get to the point. 1. Basics Each ability or spell has two components: Proficiency and Efficiency. Proficiency is gained (points) through the use of abilities/spells or combos, and starts to decay naturally (percentage of the current number of points) after a fixed amount or time. It stops decaying once you use the ability/spell or a combo that uses that ability/spell. Efficiency is lost (percentage of the current number of points) through the use of abilities/spells or combos and starts to regenerate naturally (points) after a fixed amount of time. It stops regenerating once you use the ability/spell or a combo that uses that ability/spell. 1.a. - Proficiency is measuring how skilled is the PC in using that ability/spell. It goes up each time you use an ability/spell against and enemy that is not below a certain level compared to yours and scales with that level difference. For example if you use an ability on a target that is 3 level below you (or more), you will get no Proficiency points, if you use the ability/spell against a target that is the same level as you, you get 5 Proficiency points and if you use the ability/spell against a target that is 3 levels above you (or more), you get 10 Proficiency points. Of course, some other game mechanics (like the ability/spell is saved against or blocked completely) might be used when fighting against targets way above your level. Proficiency is used to advance your ability, either by directly applying a buff to the effects of that ability/spell, or by simply moving towards the next tier (so using Bash will slowly gain you Proficiency points towards Improved Bash). The latter would mean that the PC only learns the most basic spells/abilities from external sources, and the more improved abilities/spells he discovers by actually using the related lower tiered ones. Also, Proficiency slowly decays (at the same time as the Efficiency goes up) but it will never reach 0 (it decays by a fixed percentage of the total points that you have, so the more time passes the less it decays). 1.b - Efficiency is measuring how that ability/spell is performing, considering on how many times it has been used, successfully, over a certain period of time. The Efficiency is regenerating naturally (or through other means like drinking from a well, whatever), slowly, over the course of time. Each time you use an ability/spell however, it drops by a percentage (let's say 5%) so that if you use it 5 times in a row it will only be at 77% Efficiency. This translates into reduced effects (for the sake of simplicity only direct damage or damage over time, or direct protection/healing or protection/healing over time). So if a certain ability does, let's say, 10-20 damage, after it's first use it will drop to 9-18 damage, after the second use it will again drop to 8-17 damage (rounded up) and so on. As you can see, it's not going to be a liniar drop so you don't get to use it only 20 times before reaching 0. You will actually never reach 0 as it will always go down by 5% (of the total Efficiency points). The first time you use it it will drop by 5 points, the second time again by 5 points, by the time you reach 80 points (out of 100) it will only drop by 4 points. All numbers are rounded up, so if it drops by 4.6 it actually drops by 5 points, as opposed to 4.2 that would translate into 4 points. There might be game mechanics or skills/perks that either reduce this decay per usage or rise your maximum Efficiency to more than 100 points. It's really open to any kind of tweaking, just like the Proficiency. EDIT: I forgot. Just like Proficiency, the Efficiency percentage that decays with each use should be calculated using the same rules, related to the level difference between the attacker and the target. 2. Combo I know that this is not really related to the system, but it would work great with it. The system lets the PC combine any previously learned ability/spell. At first you will be able to only combine 2 of them, but maybe as you get better and better you might combine more than 2. The effects of the combo are the added effects of the basic constituent abilities/spells calculated at their current level of Proficiency and Efficiency. The Proficiency and Efficiency system works in the following way for combos: - Each time you use a combo you will gain some proficiency points just like using an individual spell/ability but those points are divided equally towards each basic constituent ability/spell. - Each time you use a combo you will lose 5% (again just as an example) from the Efficiency of each constituent ability/spell. 3. Conclusions Such a system, at least in my intention, would do away with resting and cooldowns, mana or stamina. Every PC will only have those two resources (when talking about abilities/spells or combos), the stats only adding the the effects of those. The complexity of it comes from the two diverging directions. PCs are free to use whatever ability/spell or even combo in their arsenal. The advantage is that the more you use an ability/spell or combo you will slowly advance towards better abilities/spells and of course combos, the drawback being that if you abuse the system you will soon find yourself with really weak abilities/spells and combos. Moreover, the PC must decide weather to use a "strong" combo (strong because it has the added effects of the base constituent abilities/spells) or a more basic ability/spell. You wouldn't want to get caught with your pants down (low Efficiency) when encountering a strong hostile NPC because in your last encounter you "wasted" your best combos on some low level critters. The system could be tweaked and tested, and those numbers that i threw here are definitely not the best, they are only used as an example. The beauty of this system is that it no longer requires a cooldown, no longer requires a rest (or maybe you could regain the Efficiency but lose Profficiency through rest). Such a system means that the player really needs to use an ability/spell in order to advance (so encourages him to abuse it) but also means that the more it abuses it the weaker that ability/spell it will get (for the moment). Such a system would mean that the PC will have overpowered combos, but it also means that the player will surely not want to "waste" those OP combos on critters and will always try to save them for when it matters. This would add so much complexity to any fight (imho) as you will always try to "balance" the rewards of killing the opponents as fast as you can with the risk of not having your best combo at top efficiency for the next encounter. Also, in longer fight this would mean that the PC must rely on a well rounded and diversified arsenal, because if he uses the same abilities/spells and well as combos that use those abilities/spells as basic constituents he will soon lose all of those due to them being weaker because of low Efficiency. On the other hand he is encouraged to use them as often as possible in order to make them better (gain Proficiency). I'm pretty sure this is not perfect, some of you might just think it's rubbish (and by the way it's somewhat inspired from Rage of Mages 2, the Proficiency part at least) but i like it (again duh!) and with some tweaking and/or refinement i really think it would work. There's at least one person here that would, in theory at least, be excited to see it implemented. 4. Expanded The game could play with such a system, by adding skills that lower your Efficiency decay but also lower the Proficiency gained (you get a PC or companion that is able to use the preferred abilities/spells more often while not being able to advance that fast), or by adding items that will tweak any of those components (or by adding Max. Efficiency points). You could get abilities (non PC, or even PC) that would temporarily raise your Efficiency (PC) or temporarily lower your Efficiency (hostile NPC). And probably much, much more than that. P.S. Oh darn... lvl 10 Fire Dragon... where's my Ice Shard + Stun combo? Oh sh!t, Ice shard is at 65 Efficiency... what do i do, what do i do. Why did i used Ice Shard on those lvl 7 Rogues?!?!

As it stands now Mark Sanchez is the guy for the Denver Broncos.
The Broncos went from a Hall of Fame player in Peyton Manning, hopefully to capable backup Brock Osweiler to Sanchez all in a week's time. Talk about taking one on the chin after a Super Bowl victory but this organization has been here before. After John Elway won the 2nd of his back-to-back titles he walked away and the Broncos were left to rebuild. They did but it took some dismal seasons and even worse signal callers until they found their perfect match in Manning.
The question is "what can Sanchez do"?.
The answer to that might not be what you think. Here is why.
Get the butt fumble jokes out the way and let's focus on his body of work.
This is still the same Sanchez that led the New York Jets to two straight AFC Championships, granted that was about 6-7 years ago but injuries and backup duties have stripped him of another opportunity. He landed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2014 and put up some respectful numbers while filling in for the injured Nick Foles in Chip Kelly's offense. But the Eagles missed the playoffs, not due to the play of Sanchez but because the Eagles defense was as soft as a baby's a**.
So you want to focus on his career win/loss record? No problem.
He's floating around the .500 mark for his career, Manning or Elway he is not but he's also not Jake Plummer, Tim Tebow, Brian Griese or Jay Cutler either. Sanchez has won before, he has played in big games and most importantly he is not afraid to take risk or make mistakes. It takes a certain amount of moxie to be able to play in a big market city and thrive. I don't know what you may know about New York sports but I can tell you first hand this is not the city to upset fans in and neither is Philly. Sanchez will walk into Denver with no expectations and if the NFL is not careful he may walk out a champion.
Here is why I say that with a straight face.
How did the Broncos win the Super Bowl?
With a great defense. While they were stripped of a few pieces this offseason they still have a core that can lead them back to the playoffs. To be honest, when Manning was breaking records in Orange & Blue the team was making early exits, when the offense was forced to dumb it down, well we saw the end results in that. And this fits right into Sanchez hands. What more could he want?
It's not possible for him to have any worse of a season than Manning had last year with 9 TDs and 17 INTs? He has a good ground game with C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman and the receivers are both Pro Bowl players. The offense is an upgrade over what he had in Philly and what he managed to guide to those AFC title games with the Jets.
As for the defense…
Really? The Jets were good in '09-'10 but this Broncos unit has been compared to the best EVER. They are coming off a championship and want nothing more than to prove that last season was no fluke, expect a more determined unit in '16. If Sanchez can keep the turnovers down to a minimal, Von Miller and the defense will handle the heavy lifting which will put the team on the brink of another success story.
All is not lost for the Broncos as the AFC West is still wide open but thinking Sanchez can't get the job done just proves that you were under a rock all last season.

As you might've seen,
{{Games}} has been broken for quite a while now, working not quite right. Its main issues are its, now awkward, placement, the tendency to cover content that resulted from the move and the fact that it would mostly show an empty square with no icons in it.
Luckily for us, the handy folks over at the Fandom Developers Wiki have a replacement for us. Using the EraIcons script, we can now place the icons where they originally were. I've created a demo at Template:Games/replacement, which you can see in action on BioShock Wiki:Sandbox. The icon in the top right, above the edit button, is the icon added by the new template. The one within the box in the article is our current solution. Stupidly enough
{{Games}} functions fine on that page, so for a malfunctioning version see, Rapture.
- The maintenance load is much, much lower as the current solution is unmaintainable. The original author/importer is no longer active here and nobody here actually knows how the JavaScript powering the template works.
- The new template is much less complex: compare Template:Games to Template:Games/replacement.
- We can now place the icons at the right place on the page where they used to be.
- No changes to the template usage: only the back-end is changed.
- While Wikia themselves vet the scripts against policy and security violations, we'd still be outsourcing a part of our wiki.
- We didn't allow using
{{Games}}on certain namespaces — such as the User (talk) namespace, blogs and a few technical namespaces — but the new script is not active on pages in those namespaces.
