Google has teamed up with the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to create a trio of online exhibitions for the Google Cultural Institute, to let Internet users explore the Eiffel Tower in new ways without having to go to Paris.
Google's Street View team went up the tower using the Street View Trolley, and shot 360-degree views of the tower's architecture and its views over the city.
The trolley was made for Google's Street View cameras to easily fit through museum doorways and navigate around sculptures. It's basically a camera on a push-cart.
"These modern-day Street View panoramas sit alongside nearly 50 archival images, plans, engravings and photos telling the story of the Eiffel Tower's development and social impact in the 19th century," says Mark Yoshitake, Head of Product & User Experience at the Google Cultural Institute. "Some of the archive material is quite rare and precious such as a recording of Gustave Eiffel's voice by Thomas Edison."
"The first exhibition presents the birth of the Eiffel Tower from the initial idea until its realization," explains Yoshitake. "You can then follow the construction of the monument step-by-step through photos and sketches. Details on the inauguration and the first visitors lie in the third exhibition, with photos of people admiring the Paris vista on the opening day leading into today's Street View imagery from the top floor. Did you know that during the Tower's inauguration for the Universal Exhibition of 1889, the elevators were not yet in service but 12,000 people per day rushed to climb the 1710 steps leading to the top?"
While it didn't make its way into Google Cultural Institute exhibitions, Google also recently captured Street View imagery at the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world (in Dubai). For that, Google used the Trekker camera device.

A "Virtual Concierge" Ponzi Scheme With A "Shark Tank" Link
Florida authorities arrested four people and charged them with orchestrating a $70 million Ponzi scheme that promised hefty returns to investors who thought their returns were coming from an investment in a "virtual concierge" machine. Joseph Signore, his wife Laura Signore, Paul Schumack and Craig Allen Hipp were recently arrested on multiple fraud charges stemming from their roles in JCS Enterprises. Coincidentally, a related company funded with investor funds was, until recently, the beneficiary of an investment by Barbara Corcoran — a star of CNBC's hit show Shark Tank.
Investors were told that an investment in JCS Enterprises involved the purchase of a virtual concierge machine ("VCM") that resembled an automatic teller machine and allowed users to view advertisements for products or services. Investors were told that their VCM would be placed in a business where it could generate lucrative profits that allowed the payout of annual returns of 80% to 120%.
One of the ways investors were solicited to invest with JCS Enterprises was through the placement of videos on YouTube. The video promised that the VCMs would "generate income for years," and promised that a $3,500 investment could produce "huge returns." The alleged mastermind, Joseph Signore, is also accused of soliciting investors via emails that included a Bible passage intended to create a false sense of security and appeal to the religious beliefs of investors.
In addition to criminal charges, Joseph Signore and Paul Schumack also are facing civil fraud charges filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Dan shares his recollections of a memorable conversation with the late Hall of Fame manager early in his own career.
Earl Weaver was a winner. His .583 career winning percentage as a manager is the ninth-best all-time, and only Al Lopez has posted a better winning percentage since World War II. Weaver's first three full-season Oriole clubs all advanced to the World Series, winning 318 games in that span. Baltimore averaged 96 wins in his first 12 seasons as skipper, and he managed for 27 years in the majors and minors before his club posted a losing record.
Sure, his Oriole clubs were loaded with stars like Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, and Jim Palmer, but Weaver was an impact manager independent of his players. He won because he was able to combine his baseball genius with the ability to keep his talented club focused and motivated.

What goes on at the Winter Meetings, according to a guy who's been going to them for the last 30 years.
Thousands of people within baseball have gathered here in Nashville for the annual Winter Meetings. It is the largest collection of baseball personnel in one spot every year, and the attendees are as diverse a group as you'll find, with 20 or more staff from every major-league organization present, along with key staff members from minor-league affiliates, hundreds of media, hundreds of baseball-related service providers, MLB rights-holders, and other personnel affiliated with the game from all over the world, along with a large group of individuals seeking employment in the sport.
The massive Opryland complex has hosted the meetings a few times before, and it can be a somewhat unmanageable destination for those whose personal GPS is not as accurate as most. The hotel actually provides an intricate map to those who inquire, and it comes in handy numerous times before the week is over. By the end of the week, everyone will know where the Delta, Magnolia, and Cascade buildings are located.

What role have Dan Duquette and Buck Showalter played in the Orioles' 2012 turnaround?
The Orioles' storybook season added another amazing chapter on Thursday night, as the O's pulled off a startling four-run comeback after blowing a five-run lead in the opener of their huge four-game series against the Yankees at Camden Yards. This is Baltimore's first meaningful baseball September in more than a decade, and on the night that the Orioles unveiled a statue of Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr, they erupted for six home runs to move back into a tie for the American League East lead.
The Orioles have finished under .500 for 14 consecutive years and have lost 91 or more games in nine of the last 11 seasons, including each of the last six years. But if the season had ended yesterday, the Orioles would have been postseason bound, which represents a remarkable turnaround under General Manager Dan Duquette and Manager Buck Showalter. Credit also has to be given to former GM Andy MacPhail, who hired Showalter in 2010 and laid the groundwork for this team.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
She can attempt to transfer the house into her name pursuant to the POA. However, Georgia, like all states is required to pursue a person's assets before they will pay for a person's skilled care nursing home costs. Medicaid has a 5 year look-back period on the transfer of assets which were done for less than fair market value. Therefore, before Medicaid will pay any nursing home care costs - the family will have to pay the fair market value of the assets towards his nursing home care costs before they will start paying such.
A "will" is not a POA - is she sure she does have a POA?
She does have POA, she got that done about 3 weeks ago. Instead of "Trasfer" of assets, can he sell the property to her?
Yes, certainly - but the transfer of assets for less than fair market value would still apply.
Thanks for the help.

sulci's Photoblog: Newbs as Commander William T. Riker
sulci here. Welcome to my new photoblog at ShufflingDead. Photography is my passion, but being a part of team ShufflingDead and an ardent MMOer means I'm also on the pulse of geek culture. I'm going to use this space to post the photos I take which happen to intersect these two worlds.
You can check out much more of my photography work on my Flickr page.
First up, ShufflingDead editor-in-chief Newbs in his cosplay attempt at Commander William T. Riker of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame. We didn't have much in the way of props (or even a decent costume) so much of what you see in these photos is the result of my Photoshop skills. The beard, however, is all real.

WESTLEA Primary School circa 1999. The play was Alice in Wonderland and I was my class's chosen Alice.
Unbeknown to the teacher turned casting director at the time, this (small yet pivotal) role marked the start of what is now looking likely to be a lifelong love affair with acting, the stage and all things entertainment.
Born and raised in Swindon, during my teenage years I attended various dance, drama and singing classes in and around the town.
After completing a BTEC in Performance at New College in 2005, I spent the next few years taking on various jobs in the UK and abroad.
In between my ventures I would return to my parent's house in the town and I spent a good couple of years working at the wonderful Wyvern Theatre whilst saving for drama school.
The Wyvern taught me more about theatre than any school ever could and I have very fond memories of working (in almost every department) there.
However, almost two years ago I decided that London was truly calling and I've called the city home ever since. That is, until now.
I've been an official (albeit temporary) New Yorker for more than two months and there still isn't a day that goes by where I don't question how exactly it is that I ended up here.
In short, earlier this year I applied and was accepted to The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute to study acting.
Following training at Central School Of Speech and Drama in London I had already had an eventful year where jobs included dancing for a Britain's Got Talent commercial with Ant and Dec, featuring in Scouting For Girls' 'Summertime In The City' music video and being selected as part of the cast for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies if London 2012.
My New York adventure had been something of a dream until late July when suddenly, in amongst the Olympic fever, the paperwork was signed, the flights were booked and it really was all happening.
I arrived early September when the City was still coated in a late summer haze.
Following the UK's failed attempt of a warm season, I felt very lucky to finally see more than 4 days of consecutive sunshine.
My apartment is in Brooklyn and although at first I wasn't overly taken with my furry rat-shaped neighbours or distinct lack of kitchen appliances, I've grown to almost like the place.
It is what some might describe as 'character building' and it certainly couldn't be further from the streets of Westlea that I grew up on.
As a child, my companions and I were truly spoiled with the abundance of green space we had at our disposal and took the fact we could take a scenic walk to school along the brooke for granted.
Brooklyn's concrete basketball courts and Yellow school buses don't really offer much in the way of comparison.
It didn't take me long to settle in and with lots of lines to learn and New York to explore there has certainly never been a dull moment.
I've already been through two natural disasters which is something I never thought I'd be saying at the start of the year.
My plane landed during a Tornado and more recently I witnessed the wrath of Superstorm Sandy when it swept across the East Coast.
Luckily I was largely un affected but it did mean that my school closed for a week and I had one stranded best friend whose initial four days visit to the city turned into a nine day lay over.
Following the storm, it has been inspiring to watch New York come together and try to piece the city back together after the devastation that was caused.
From teenage volunteers sweeping up leaves to home owners renting out their rooms for free, you can feel everyone's genuine desire to help and overcome tragedy together.
From an actor's point of view, I really couldn't wish for a better place to be continuing my studies.
The Institute is based within the vibrant neighbourhood of Union Sq which is a sensory delight and constantly abuzz -an absolute must visit for anyone heading to New York.
There seem to be new restaurants, bars and shops to be discovered all the time, which isn't proving too ideal for my student budget.
Several weeks after arriving at Strasberg I was lucky enough to be cast in my first (off off) Broadway production- 'How I Learned To Drive'.
The show opens this week and I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to take to the same stage as acting greats such as Marilyn Monroe and Robert De Niro.
The weeks are flying by and I cannot wait for everything that's still ahead of me. What with opening night looming, Thanksgiving just around the corner and winter rapidly setting in, there is always magic to found and much to be done in every New York minute.

Though she won't be starring in it, the 'Twilight Saga' actress is reportedly still attached to produce the Nick Cassavetes-directed film project.
Amid her headline-grabbing cheating scandal, Kristen Stewart reportedly decided to let go one of her upcoming movie projects. It was Gossip Cop which shared the words that the "Twilight Saga" actress has bowed out of "Cali", in which she's supposed to take on an "edgy and sexy" female lead role.
It's still unclear as to why Stewart chose to exit the Nick Cassavetes-directed film project. Her camp hasn't made any comment to confirm the report. On the other hand, Voltage Production, the company that develops the project, promised that it would make an announcement soon.
Though she's no longer locked to star in the film, insiders revealed that the "On the Road" actress would still serve as the producer. Furthermore, the sources said that Amber Heard has been approached to join the cast, but it's not confirmed whether or not she would be tackling the part Stewart has left.
Stewart was originally expected to play female lead Mya. She's involved in a dangerous business with her boyfriend Chris. After selling a fake snuff film featuring Mya, the San Fernando Valley lovebirds run away with a bundle of cash.
Years later, Mya must "return from the dead" to save the sister she left behind in Cali, where she and her boyfriend must contend with angry former business partners, homicidal porn stars, stoner vet techs, an unstoppable killing machine in a cowboy hat and their own contentious relationship.
Set in Los Angeles, "Cali" has tapped Alex Pettyfer to play leading man Chris. The script, meanwhile, will be penned by Michael Diliberti. The indie movie is expected to begin filming in late summer.
Before deciding to leave "Cali", Kristen Stewart recently landed a role in "Lie Down in Darkness", an adaptation of William Styron's 1951 novel about a dysfunctional Virginian Loftis family. She took over the role from Jennifer Lawrence, who exited the project due to her commitments to "The Hunger Games" film series and "X-Men: Days of Future Past".

Can't beat the price!No matter what the price, this eyeliner is one of the best I've used! It is soft and easy to apply. The black is a true deep dark blck like I like - it blends easy and stays put too! It sharpens well - my only wish is that it was a bit bigger!

My Trusty old liner!I have been using these liners for years. They are nothing special -- no bells and whistles. Just a plain 'ol pencil eye liner. But I tell you what, you cannot beat them as far as liner pencils go. Especially for the price, which you can frequently get on sale for $1.99. Great selection of colors. I have several and keep them at home, in makeup bag, and in my desk drawer at work. Wherever I...read more might find myself in need of eyeline. They go on smooth and don't tug or need pressure, like some cheaper liner pencils do. I once paid $23 for a Lancome pencil liner. I could kick myself -- this one is just as good. — 9 years, 5 months agoTangerine3 | 28 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
The Msunduzi Municipality has insisted that its awarding of a lucrative contract for electronic billing was above board and would improve collections.
It was revealed this week that the contract for SMS/MMS billing was not put out to tender, prompting DA MPP and co-operative governance spokesman George Mari to criticise "the lack of transparency".
Mari warned that the move flew in the face of the municipality's commitment to "improve financial administration through proper supply chain management".
However, Msunduzi municipal manager Mxolisi Nkosi said the contract did not go out to tender because the municipality opted to piggyback on the tender process used by other municipalities.
This was allowed under section 36 of the supply chain management regulations and done to save time and money because of the urgent need to sort out the city's massive debt crisis.
Msunduzi has secured the services of Munsoft, a supplier of financial and billing systems.
Nkosi said five other KZN municipalities were using Munsoft.
He said that before he came into office this year, the municipality's debtors book was increasing at R100 million a month, with thousands of statements coming back with addressees not found.
The Munsoft system had reduced the number of untraceable account holders from 20 000 to 7 000 this month. A further reduction to 5 000 was expected by the end of next month, he said.
Nkosi said he understood that residents were wary, given the municipality's past financial woes, but the electronic bills were aimed at improving revenue collection and reducing debt.
"There is nothing unlawful about the process," Nkosi said. Msunduzi had bypassed the tender process before when it purchased 70 vehicles from a service provider secured by the National Treasury, that had followed the tender process required by law.
"The municipality is allowed by law to do this," he said.
Mari said the DA welcomed electronic billing to increase debt collection and revenue, but remained concerned that the contract had not gone out to tender. Deviation from this process and the use of section 36 have been cited as one of the main reasons for the rampant fraud and corruption which led to the municipality's being placed under administration in 2010. Msunduzi's debt now stands at R899 million.

text: UGI Corporation (NYSE: UGI) today reported net income attributable to UGI of $133.4 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 ended March 31, 2012, compared to $149.4 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 ended March 31, 2011. Results for the current-year period were significantly impacted by record-setting warm weather in the United States and, to a much lesser extent, warm weather in Europe for two of the three months during the quarter. Results for the current-year quarter include the impact of the Heritage Propane acquisition completed by AmeriGas in mid-January and the Shell Acquisition completed by our International Propane business during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Results for the current-year period include the after-tax impact of acquisition and transition costs associated with these transactions of approximately $2.2 million (a $0.02 reduction in earnings per diluted share). The current-year period also includes the impact of an after-tax loss of $2.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, related to an early extinguishment of debt at AmeriGas. Results for the prior-year period include the impact of an after-tax loss of $5.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, also related to an early extinguishment of debt at AmeriGas. Lon R. Greenberg, chairman and chief executive officer of UGI, said, "Our domestic business units experienced historic warm weather during the quarter which resulted in a lack of heating-related demand for all energy products. European weather averaged near normal for the period, but the weather patterns during the quarter were particularly volatile, with a warm January followed by extreme cold in February and then a very warm March, when temperatures across Europe averaged nearly 20% warmer than normal. Despite the near-term earnings challenges brought about by the warm winter, we remain confident in the future prospects for our businesses and pleased with the progress that our management teams are making as they execute their core strategic initiatives. The most notable achievement during the quarter was the closing of the Heritage Propane acquisition at AmeriGas. Our International Propane business continued to make very good progress on the Shell Acquisition integration and our Gas Utility added a significant number of new customers through conversions from other fuels to natural gas. In March, our Midstream and Marketing business announced a joint agreement to develop the Commonwealth Pipeline, a 200-mile, 30-inch pipeline that will transport Marcellus Shale gas from northeastern Pennsylvania south to major markets in the Mid-Atlantic States. Finally, we just declared a 4% increase in UGI's common dividend, adding to our enviable track record of paying a common dividend for 128 consecutive years and of increasing the dividend for the last 25 years. This long-term track record of consistent dividend growth, coupled with our ability to generate cash for reinvestment in UGI's businesses, demonstrates the merits of UGI as a growth and income investment."

This is a car in GTA V, I have screenshot of the name. Not sure what it is based on and if it's actually a 2-door because I took the screen in a sh*t angle.

- Thus should be interesting. The guide got the names wrong, so I wouldn't be surprised if it were what we currently have as the Felon GP. JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 07:42, September 14, 2013 (UTC)
Design cues
The front end is clearly inspired by the Jaguar XJ (X351), but the rear end seems to be a mash-up of the new Lincoln MKZ and perhaps an executive french model (either Peugeot, Citroen or Renault) although I couldn't tell the model since these are not sold here.
EDIT: Nice find whoever added the 9-5, bullseye. I still think the front shares both similarities with the XF (hood line around the grille) and the XJ (longer and more flat than the XF)...
NAMETYR (talk) 01:08, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
I think the Saab and Volvo connections are strongest... the Jaguar similarity is pretty loose and isolated to specific areas IMO... I drive a XF every day and I see a XJ at work all the time and it's really not even remotely close to a Jackal. It has a very Maserati-esque wheel vent or whatever, but I though otherwise whoever thought about Saab and Volvo was spot on.

Arden offers four one-of-a-kind artists
Concert brings together four phenomenal female voices
Wednesday, Feb 19, 2014 06:00 am
Saturday, Feb. 22 at 7:30 p.m.
Arden Theatre
5 St. Anne St.
Tickets: $35. Call 780-459-1542 or purchase online at www.ticketmaster.ca
It�s hard to believe that it�s close to 15 years since Sarah McLachlan�s Lilith Fair wound its way across the country.
It started as a small songwriters� showcase geared to celebrating female musicians of the folk genre, and grew into an international festival overflowing with top-tier pop artists and sold-out crowds.
It was a festival that left a huge imprint on many music lovers, including Caitlin North, the Arden Theatre�s professional programming presenter. Now North has organized a one-of-a kind, one-night concert that brings together four top-notch female roots singer-songwriters.
This coming Saturday, Feb. 22, Nashville-based Mary Gauthier, Massachusetts resident Lori McKenna, Halifax-based Rose Cousins and Edmonton singer Chloe Albert come together to share their experiences.
Separately they have earned international praise. Together the foursome delivers a powerful perspective and an intuitive vulnerability that ranks them at the top.
While Gauthier, McKenna and Cousins have a stronger toehold in the industry, Albert has also received a healthy share of accolades.
A few weeks ago Albert�s latest effort � Dream Catcher � was nominated for a Juno in the category of Adult Contemporary Album of the Year. It is Albert�s first nomination and it�s in the same category as Celine�s Dion�s Loved Me Back to Life.
�I was blown away,� said Albert of the nomination, noting that independent artists are often fearful their CD will end up forgotten on a dusty pile. It didn�t happen this time.
Almost in the next breath she added, �I feel honoured to be in the same category as this woman who is a mega superstar. She has this incredible set of pipes and it�s so cool they would consider us in the same category.�
No stranger to accolades, Albert�s self-generated debut CD, the 2008 Dedicated State won an Emerging Artist of the Year Award at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
And this year CKUA named the sophomore album Dream Catcher its No. 1 played album for 2013.
Born and raised in Edmonton, Albert is a graduate of MacEwan University�s music program. Together with Katie Perlman and Lesley Pelletier, from her MacEwan days, the trio formed the country band The Carolines.
�It�s been a total blast. It�s fun to play with girlfriends and I really enjoy singing three-part harmony.�
In addition, to The Carolines, Albert has honed her blues voice as part of the house band at Blue Chair Caf�.
�It�s mellow stuff. Everybody in the band sings campfire songs, old songs that are a mish-mash of folk, blues and jazz. Everything has a folk sound.�
Using a grant from Alberta Foundation for the Arts and Rawlco Radio, Albert recorded Dream Catcher at Sound Extractor with producer Stu Kirkwood.
Albert didn�t have a particular vision for the 12-track or decide to move in a specific direction. Instead she put her trust in Kirkwood to develop the vibe she needed.
�Singing and songwriting is easy,� Albert said. �Producing is a whole other art. It will probably be easier to articulate and envision what I want in the next album.�
For the moment she�s enjoying the congratulatory Juno phone calls and invitations to perform at acclaimed venues such as Salmon Arm�s Roots and Blues Festival.
Last summer at the 2013 Edmonton Folk Festival, she caught one of Lori McKenna�s concerts. McKenna, who received her big break on a Faith Hill album, is married to a plumber and shepherds five children to school in a minivan.
�She�s really down-to-earth. When I saw her sing, it was raw, beautiful music. She�s a great guitar player and she�s very charming.�
Also a longtime admirer of Mary Gauthier, Albert had the good fortune to see her perform at North Country Fair.
�She�s amazing. She�s an incredible songwriter. She�s a great craftsman and I also enjoyed her drummer,� Albert said.
Albert�s only connection to Rose Cousins is that The Carolines sing one of her songs � If You Were For Me.
�I only just discovered her music last year. She has this beautiful voice that sings devastatingly honest, sad songs.�
Albert is bringing some of her percussion instruments to the Saturday concert and the quartet will sing a special Pete Seeger tribute in honour of the American folk singer who passed way on Jan. 27.
�It�s a great opportunity to see four songwriters in one,� she said. �You get to know different sides of the stories behind the songs and a different side of artists you don�t normally see. It will be a dynamic show and we probably may never sing together again � even though it would be nice.�

OLYMPIC heroes will parade through Wycombe tomorrow and have challenged fans to make the celebration even better than London.
Medal winning stars of the 2012 games toured through the capital earlier this month to bask in the glory of their triumphs.
Now, Wycombe district's top sporting names will take part in an open top bus parade tomorrow through the streets of Marlow and High Wycombe, from 10am.
Click here for a schedule of the celebration.
Athletes Katherine Grainger, Greg Searle, Ed McKeever, Craig Gibbons, Kevin Brooks, John Worrall and Ian Rose have now confirmed places on board the bus which will also carry Torch Bearers Lauren Badger and Jasmine Boffin with their respective Olympic and Paralympic torches.
Alex Danson, star player of the women's Great Britain hockey team which won bronze, said: "The parade through London was great and it was an opportunity to show our medals, say thank you and to see lots of people.
"If we can replicate that here it will be brilliant. It was unbelievable in London, really special.
"Let's see if we can match it and outdo London, that would be great." Alex, 27, who has recently moved from Marlow to High Wycombe, was joint top scorer at the Olympics.
She said: "We've won the medal but I think any athlete will say that it's the people who made it.
"It's our opportunity to say thank you for coming out and supporting us. I hope as many people come out as possible to say a massive thank you for getting behind us.
"It should be fantastic."
Greg Searle, who made an incredible comeback, aged 40 to win a rowing bronze medal, said: "I hope we'll get decent weather and get something like the reaction we got in London, anything like that would be amazing, it was so good.
"We wanted the Olympic fun to carry on that day and it did and I hope we can get that in Marlow and High Wycombe."
Paralympic gold medal winning rower Naomi Riches is one star who is unable to be there, but delivered this message to fans: "I am sad I can't be in Marlow to celebrate such an incredible summer, but my post box is there and I really want everyone to enjoy the day.
"I am enjoying some time off in Corsica so that I am well rested for the season ahead. Without the fantastic support from the people in Marlow I wouldn't have had such an epic year. It truly has been one that I will never forget."
Royal Mail painted Marlow's High Street postbox gold to mark her victory.

The celebrity chef was forced to cancel a number of appearances in New Zealand to be on his mother's bedside.
British TV chef Gordon Ramsay has cut short filming for a U.K. TV show after his mother suffered a heart attack. The "Hell's Kitchen" star was working in Vietnam earlier this week when he discovered his beloved mother Helen, 66, had been taken ill.
He immediately halted work on a series for Britain's Channel 4 and canceled an upcoming promotional trip to New Zealand to jet back to England to be by her bedside, according to Britain's The Sun. Ramsay's spokesperson says, "With the news of his mother's heart attack, Gordon has had to postpone his visit to New Zealand. e is so sorry to disappoint his fans. He will be rescheduling."
Ramsay is also in the middle of promoting a new cooking competition show called "MasterChef" which is debuting on FOX next month.


text: InterSystems Caché Technology Guide Caché Technology Guide Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Printer Friendly Available In .PDF Caché's Application Server The Caché Application Server offers advanced object programming capabilities, provides sophisticated data caching, and integrates easy access to a variety of technologies. The Caché Application Server makes it possible to develop sophisticated database applications rapidly, operate them with high performance, and support them easily. More specifically, the Caché Application Server provides: The Caché Virtual Machine which runs three built-in scripting languages – Caché ObjectScript, Caché Basic, and Caché MVBasic. Access to Caché Multidimensional Data Servers on the same and other computers with transparent routing. Connectivity software with client-side caching to permit rapid access to Caché objects from all commonly used technologies, including Java, C++, C#, COM, .NET, and Delphi. Caché automatically performs the networking between the client and application server. Compatibility with SOAP and XML. SQL access using ODBC and JDBC, including sophisticated caching at the client and application server for high performance. Access to relational databases. Caché Server Pages for high-performance, easy-to-program Web applications. Caché Studio – an IDE to rapidly develop and debug applications with Caché. Code for the scripting languages is stored in the database and can be changed online, with changes automatically propagating to all application servers. The Caché Virtual Machine and Scripting Languages The core of the Caché Application Server is the extremely fast Caché Virtual Machine, which supports Caché's scripting languages. Caché ObjectScript is a powerful and easy-to-learn object-oriented language with extremely flexible data structures. Caché Basic provides an easy way for Visual Basic programmers to start using Caché. Similar to VBScript, Caché Basic supports objects and is extended to have direct access to the Caché Multidimensional Arrays. Caché MVBasic is the variant of the Basic programming language used in MultiValue (Pick) applications. MVBasic has been extended to support objects and have direct access to the Caché Multidimensional Arrays. Database access within the Caché Virtual Machine is highly optimized. Each user process in the Caché Virtual Machine has direct access to the multidimensional data structures by making calls to shared memory that access a shared database cache. All other technologies (Java, C++, ODBC, JDBC, etc.) connect through the Caché Virtual Machine to access the database. Complete Interoperability Since Caché ObjectScript, Basic, and MVBasic are all implemented on the same Caché Virtual Machine, they are completely interoperable: Any object method can be written in any language – the same class can use all three languages. Each language's function calls can access code written in the other languages. They share variables, arrays, and objects. Faster Development/Flexible Deployment By writing as much code as possible in these scripting languages, programmers can develop applications faster, and those applications will run significantly faster with greater scalability. Plus, code written in Caché ObjectScript, Basic, or MVBasic requires no changes to switch hardware or operating systems. Caché automatically handles all differences in operating systems and hardware. The Caché Advantage Rapid Application Development: Development of complex database applications with Caché ObjectScript is radically faster than any other major language – often 10 to 100 percent faster. Faster also means the project has a better chance of succeeding – with fewer programmers – and being able to adjust rapidly as the application needs to change. Shorter Learning Curve: Basic is perhaps the world's best-known computer language. Developers who know Visual Basic can instantly start writing code in Basic, and the Caché object model is easily learned. Faster and More Scalable: The Caché Virtual Machine with its direct access to the database provides faster applications that can scale to tens of thousands of users using low-cost hardware. Flexibility: Code that runs in the Caché Virtual Machine can run on other hardware and operating systems without change. Code is stored in the database and automatically propagated to application servers. Caché ObjectScript Caché ObjectScript is a powerful, object-oriented programming language designed for rapid development of database applications. Here are some of the key characteristics of the language. Overall Structure Caché ObjectScript is command-oriented; hence it has syntax such as: set x=a+b do rotate(a,3) if (x>3) There is a set of built-in system functions that are particularly powerful for text manipulation. Their names all start with the single "$" character to distinguish them from variable and array names. For example: $extract(string,from,to) // get a set of characters from a string $length(string) // determine the length of a string Expressions use left-to-right operator precedence, just like most hand-held calculators, except when parentheses alter the order of evaluation. Flexible Data Storage One of the most unique characteristics of Caché ObjectScript is its highly flexible and dynamic data storage. Data may be stored in: Object properties Variables Sparse, multidimensional arrays that permit any type of data for subscripts Database files ("globals") which are sparse multidimensional arrays With rare exceptions, any place in the language where a variable can be used, an array, object property, or global reference could also be used. In most computer languages, datatypes are an extension of hardware storage concepts (integer, float, char, etc.). However, Caché ObjectScript has the philosophy that humans don't think using such storage types, and that these "computer-centric" datatypes simply impede rapid application development. Requiring declarations and dimension statements introduces far more errors than they help prevent (e.g., errors such as a 2-byte integer overflow, or when a string overflows its allocation of memory and corrupts other storage). However, object typing, such as Person, Invoice, or Animal, is viewed as highly valuable and consistent with the way humans think. Thus, in Caché ObjectScript, object properties are strongly typed, but the other three types of storage (variables, arrays, and global nodes) are fully polymorphic, typeless entities that need not be declared or defined. They simply pop into existence as they are used and mold themselves to the data needs of what they are storing and how they are being used in an expression. Even arrays do not need any specification of size, dimension, type of subscripts, or data. For example, a developer might create an array called Person by simply setting: set Person("Smith","John")="I'm a good person" In this example, data was stored in a two-dimensional array using string data for subscripts. Other data nodes in this array might have a different number of dimensions and might intermix strings, integers, or other types of data for subscripts. For example, one might store data in: abc(3) abc(3,-45.6,"Yes") abc("Count") all in the same array. Direct Access to the Database A direct reference to the database (a "global reference") is essentially a multidimensional array reference preceded by the carat character "^". That character indicates this is a reference to data stored in the database rather than to temporary process private data. Each such database array is called a "global". As with multidimensional arrays and variables, no declarations or definitions or reservations of storage are required to access or store data in the database; global data simply pops into existence as data is stored. For example, to store information in the database one might write: set ^Person("Smith","John")="I'm a very good person" and later might retrieve it by code such as: set x=^Person("Smith","John") The programmer has complete flexibility in how to structure these global data arrays. (See the Multidimensional Data Model.) Object References Caché objects implement the ODMG data model, with powerful extensions. In Caché ObjectScript, an "oref" is used to access an object. (An oref is typically a variable whose value specifies which in-memory object is being referenced.) The oref is followed by a dot and then by the name of a property or method. Object references can be used wherever an expression can be used. For example: set name=person.Name // 'person' is a variable whose value is an oref // the person's name is put into // the variable 'name' if (person.Age>x) // see if the person's age is // greater than 'x' set money=invoice.Total() // 'Total()' is a method that // calculates the sum of // all of the invoice's // line items Methods can also be executed with a DO command when no return value is needed. For example: do part.Increment() // 'Increment()' is a method whose // return value, if any, // is not of interest The oref is not the same as a database object ID. The object ID is a value that is permanently associated with a database object; it is used to retrieve and store a database object. Once an object is in memory, it is assigned a reusable oref value that is then used to access the object's data. The next time that same database object is brought into memory it will probably be assigned a different oref value. HTML and SQL Access HTML for Web applications and SQL can be embedded in Caché ObjectScript code. Calling Code In some object languages, all code has to be part of some method. Caché ObjectScript doesn't have that restriction – code may be directly called or called through object syntax. Code is often called using the DO command. do rotate(a,3) Code that returns a value can also be called as a function. For example, set x=a+$$insert(3,y) calls the programmer-written procedure or subroutine "insert". Code can also be invoked as an object method. set money=invoice.Total() // Total() returns the // invoice total amount due part.Increment() // 'Increment()' is a method // whose return value, // if any, is not of interest Both call by value and call by reference is supported for parameters. Routines Caché ObjectScript code is fundamentally organized into a set of "routines". Each routine (typically up to 32KB in size) is atomic in the sense that it can be independently edited, stored, and compiled. Routines are linked dynamically at run time; there is no separate linking step for the programmer. Routine code is stored in the database; thus, routines can be dynamically paged across the network rather than having to be installed on each computer. Within a routine, code is organized as a set of procedures and/or subroutines. (An object method is a procedure, but it is accessed by a different syntax.) When calling code that is within the same routine, only the procedure or subroutine name is needed. Otherwise, the routine name must be appended to it. do transfer() // calls 'transfer' in // the same routine do total^invoice() // calls 'total' in the // routine "invoice" A procedure or subroutine that has a return value of interest should be called using the "$$" function syntax. set x=$$total^invoice() // calls the same 'total' // procedure but uses the // return value Routines can be edited and compiled through the Caché Studio. Object Methods Class definitions and their method codes are stored in global data files, and the Class Compiler compiles each class into one or more routines. Each method is simply a procedure in a routine, although it can only be invoked by object syntax. For instance, if the Patient class defines an Admit method and the Pat variable identifies a specific Patient object, then we call the Admit method for that object with the following syntax: do Pat.Admit() // Call the admit method // for Patient set x = Pat.Admit() // Calls the same method // but uses the return value Procedures and Public/Private Variables A procedure is a block of code within a routine that is similar to a function in other languages. A procedure consists of a name, a formal parameter list, a list of public variables, and a block of code delimited by "{}". For example: Admit(x,y)[name,recnum] { ...code goes here} In Caché ObjectScript, some variables are public (common) and others are private to a particular procedure. Every variable that is used within a procedure is considered private to that procedure unless it is listed in the public list. In the above example, "name" and "recnum" access the public variables by those names, whereas all other variables exist only for this invocation of this procedure. Variable names that start with a "%" character are always implicitly public. Procedures cannot be nested, although a procedure can contain subroutines. Subroutines Routines may also contain subroutines, which are lighter weight than procedures. A subroutine may contain a parameter list and it may return a value, but it does not have a public list or formal block structure. Subroutines may be embedded within procedures or be at the same level as a procedure in a routine. Subroutines permit the calling of code using the same public/private set of variables as the caller, and they can be called quicker. A subroutine embedded within a procedure uses the same variable scope as the procedure and may only be called from within that procedure. Variable references in a subroutine that is not part of a procedure are all to public variables. Basic Basic is perhaps the world's best-known application programming language. In Caché, Basic has been extended to support direct access of the Data Server's core data structures – multidimensional arrays – as well as other Caché Application Server features. It directly supports the Caché Object Model using Visual Basic syntax, and runs in the Caché Virtual Machine. Basic can be used either as methods of classes or as Caché routines (see the Caché ObjectScript description of routines). Basic can call Caché ObjectScript, and vice versa, with both languages accessing the same variables, arrays, and objects in process memory. Arrays have been extended to be far more powerful: The presence of a "^" character preceding the array name indicates a reference to a database multidimensional array – persistent arrays that are shared with other processes. Subscripts can be of any datatype – strings, integers, decimal numbers, etc. Data can be stored at multiple subscript levels in the same array – for example, data could be stored at A("colors") and A("colors",3). Arrays do not have to be declared and they are always sparse – Caché only reserves space as nodes are inserted. A Traverse function allows identification of the next (or previous) subscript at a given subscript level. Other extensions include: Transaction processing commands to Start, Commit, and Rollback a transaction. An atomic increment function that can be used on the database. Extensions that provide better integration with the Caché Application Server capabilities. Object Access with Basic In Caché, classes are organized into packages, and class names include the package name followed by a period. For example, Payroll.Person is a Person class of the Payroll package. The Basic New command is used to create an object: person = New Payroll.Person() // creates a new // Person object Basic has been extended with an OpenID command to access an existing object: person = OpenID Payroll.Person(54) // opens the Person // object with // Object ID 54 Here are some examples of code that access the person's properties: person.Name = "Smith, John" // sets the person's name person.Home.City // references the // person's home city person.Employer.Name // brings the person's // employer object into // memory and accesses // the employer's name Database classes can be saved to disk with the Save method. For example: person.Save() will save the person, creating an object ID if it is the first time the object was stored. If related objects (such as the Employer) were also modified, they are automatically saved as well. MVBasic MVBasic is another scripting language offered in Caché that is a variant of Basic. However, it is intended to execute applications written for MultiValue (Pick) systems and therefore supports additional characteristics, including capabilities to access and manipulate MultiValue files. MVBasic can be used either as methods of classes or as Caché routines (see the Caché ObjectScript description of routines). MVBasic can call Caché ObjectScript or Basic, and vice versa, with all three languages accessing the same variables, arrays, and objects in process memory. Caché MVBasic has the same extensions as Caché Basic, including object access. However, because of possible ambiguity, the two character sequence "->" is used instead of using a period separator "." in object references. C++ Every Caché class can be projected as a C++ class, with methods corresponding to each property and method of the Caché class. To C++ programs, these classes look just like any other local C++ classes, and Caché automatically handles all communications between the client and server. Properties of the class are cached on the client, and C++ method calls invoke corresponding server side methods, including methods to store an object in the database and later retrieve it. Caché also provides Caché eXTreme technology for C++. This is a "light binding" that allows C++ objects to inserted directly into Caché's multidimensional database, enabling extremely high performance. Java Java is a popular object-oriented programming language, but because of its "write once, deploy anywhere" flexibility, it does not specify how data is written to, or read from, a database. When data needs to be persisted, Java developers must choose and implement data access methods. Caché provides several ways for Java applications to access the Caché database: JDBC provides high-performance SQL access using a completely Java-based (Type 4) driver. Any Caché class can be projected as a Java class so properties and methods can be accessed as Java objects. InterSystems Jalapeño™ technology creates Caché classes from Java classes. Caché automatically provides methods to store and retrieve objects from the database without touching the developer's classes. Caché eXTreme for Java exposes Caché data via the JNI (Java Native Interface) Java Persistent API (JPA) is enabled through a Hibernate implementation to provide standard Java EE persistence support. Caché eXTreme for Java Caché eXTreme for Java exposes Caché's enterprise and high-performance features to Java via the JNI (Java Native Interface). It enables "in-process" communication between Java and Caché' thereby providing extremely low latency data storage and retrieval. Caché eXTreme for Java gives developers a Java API (Application Programming Interface) that provides in-process communication for: Storing and retrieving relational data via JDBC (JDBC over JNI) Storing and retrieving Java objects Storing and retrieving multidimensional data The Globals API option provides Java developers with direct access to Caché's efficient multidimensional data structures. The Caché Advantage Very High-Performance Persistence: Caché eXTreme for Java speeds up database I/O for Java applications. It will be especially beneficial when building or enhancing Java applications that deal with streaming data' very high volumes of data' or rapidly changing data. Multiple Modes of Data Access: Caché eXTreme for Java provides speedy "in-process" communication between Java and Caché via JDBC, object access, or direct multidimensional access. Short Learning Curve: Caché eXTreme for Java uses Java standards to provide database access, so Java developers can work mostly within a Java environment. Typically, a Java developer with a year of experience can be productive in just a few days when using Caché eXTreme. Enabling persistence for Java-based CEP applications Most CEP (Complex Event Processing) applications cannot use persistent databases because the latency introduced by storing and retrieving information to/from disk is too great. Instead' they typically use in-memory databases' and run the risk of losing data or transactions. But by using Caché eXTreme for Java' Java-based CEP applications can persist data without sacrificing performance. Caché and .NET Because of its open and flexible data access, Caché works seamlessly with .NET. There are many ways of connecting the two, including objects, SQL, XML, and SOAP. Developers can create applications with the technologies they prefer – all of them will benefit from Caché's superior performance and scalability. ADO.NET ADO.NET is a new incarnation of ADO, optimized for use in the .NET framework. It is intended to make .NET applications "database independent", and generally uses SQL to communicate with databases. Through its relational data access, Caché provides native support for ADO.NET. It also supports Microsoft's ODBC.NET and the read-only SOAP connectivity that is built into ADO.NET. Web Services There are two ways of using Web services in .NET. One is to send XML documents over HTTP. The other is to use the SOAP protocol to simplify the exchange of XML documents. Because Caché can expose data both ways, it works seamlessly with .NET Web services. Caché Managed Objects Caché can automatically generate .NET assemblies (or C# source code) from Caché classes. A plug-in for Visual Studio lets developers who prefer that environment to easily access Caché objects. The Caché Advantage Speedy Data Serving: Web applications that use Caché as a data server benefit from the high-performance and massive scalability provided by Caché's multidimensional data engine. Faster .NET Development: Developers will be more productive when they work with their favorite tools in environments that are familiar to them. Providing both SQL and object data access, Caché supports a wide variety of common development technologies and tools. Caché and XML Just as HTML is an Internet-compatible markup language for displaying data in a browser, XML is a markup language for exchanging data between applications. The structure of XML data is hierarchical and multidimensional, making it a natural match for Caché's multidimensional data engine. Exporting XML All that is required to make a Caché class compatible with XML is to have it inherit from the %XMLAdaptor class that is included in Caché. This provides all the methods needed to: Create either a DTD (Document Type Definition) or an XML Schema for the class. Caché will automatically generate DTDs and schemas, but developers who wish to customize the XML formatting of a class may do so. Automatically format an object's data as XML, according to the defined DTD or schema. Importing XML Caché comes with other classes that provide methods allowing developers to: Import XML schemas and automatically create corresponding Caché classes. Import the data in XML documents as instances (objects) of Caché classes, via a simple API. Parse and validate XML documents via a built-in XML (SAX) parser. Caché and Web Services Web services enable the sharing of application functionality over a network, either worldwide via the Internet, or within an organization or system. The body of a Web service is an XML document, which is contained in an "envelope" usually formatted according to the SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) standard. Web services have an interface described in WSDL (Web Service Definition Language). Any existing Caché class can be marked as a Web service simply by making it inherit from the appropriate system-level classes that come with Caché. There is also a Web Services Wizard for generating new Web services with just a few clicks of a mouse. In both cases, when the Web service is compiled, Caché generates the WSDL descriptor for the service, as well as constructing and formatting the needed "envelope". Caché also facilitates rapid development by automatically generating a Web page to test the service, without the need to construct a client application. The Caché Advantage Easy Connectivity to XML: Caché takes advantage of its capability for multiple inheritance to provide any Caché class a bi-directional interface to XML. The result: Caché classes can easily and quickly be turned into XML documents and schemas. Similarly, XML schemas and documents can be turned into Caché class definitions and objects. Instant Web Services: Any Caché method can be published as a Web service with just a few clicks of a mouse. Caché automatically generates the WSDL descriptor and the SOAP response when the service is invoked. Secure Web Services: Caché provides features that enable you to easily secure the integrity and confidentiality of Web services. Its use of the WS-policy framework greatly simplifies the task of securing Web services Rapid Development of Faster XML Applications: Because Caché's native multidimensional data structures are a good match to XML documents, there is no need for developers to manually code a "map" that translates between XML and the Caché database. And with less processing overhead, they run faster, too. Securing Web Services Web services represent "data in motion" and may come from "unknown" sources. Therefore, they require special security measures. Caché supports the use of SSL and TLS to secure connections. As for the Web services themselves, information provided with the "envelope" of the service should enable the recipient to verify who the Web service is from, that it has not been tampered with en route, and to decrypt the contents. Caché implements many features outlined in the WS-Security specifications published by the OASIS-Open standards organization: WS-Security Header Provides for message integrity The security header is added to the header of a SOAP message. It contains all the security-related information of the message, including tokens (Username, Binary Security, Timestamp), signature elements, and encrypted key elements. XML Signature List: Provides for message integrity Enables you to verify who a Web service comes from WS-Security Token Support: Username Tokens Enables you to verify identity to Web Services that require authentication Binary Security Tokens Used as references for signature and encrypted key elements XML Encryption: Provides for message confidentiality Configuring Security for Web services To make it easier to configure and manage Web services security, Caché uses the WS-Policy framework outlined by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). A wizard is provided that helps application developers generate a WS-Policy efficiently. It includes various options to select the details of the policy. SOAP Log It is often useful to log or trace SOAP messages so that you can "see" what was sent over the wire. The Caché SOAP log can (if you wish) capture inbound and outbound messages, as well as security information. Caché And MultiValue Caché provides all the capabilities needed to develop and run MultiValue applications (sometimes referred to as Pick-based applications), including the MultiValue: MVBasic language: File access MultiValue applications typically treat the database as a set of files accessed through Read and Write record operations and through MultiValue queries. In Caché, each MultiValue file is stored as a multidimensional "global" structure with each record being one global node. This feature relies on Caché's ability to store multiple data elements per global node. Query language The Caché MultiValue Query Language (CMQL) provides both data selection and report formatting functionality for MultiValue files. Because these queries use Caché's very high-performance SQL engine, reliability is enhanced, execution is optimized, and a sophisticated set of indexing capabilities can be used. Data dictionary (7- and 10-line structures) A MultiValue file may have a corresponding file description in the MultiValue Data Dictionary, which is directly editable through MVBasic code and through the traditional MultiValue "ED" editor. A MultiValue file may also have a corresponding Caché class definition. A class definition is essential if the data is to be made available for object or SQL access. Procs, Paragraphs, and Phrase Command shell The MultiValue command shell can be run from a terminal environment. In addition to the normal MultiValue command shell capabilities, Caché allows MVBasic commands to be directly executed in the command shell. This MultiValue functionality is provided as an integral part of Caché – not as a separate MultiValue implementation – and it utilizes the rich Caché multidimensional database engine, runtime functionality, and development technologies. This means that MultiValue users can take full advantage of all the Caché capabilities. The Caché Advantage New Life for Old Applications: Caché makes it easy to modernize older MultiValue applications through browser interfaces, object access, robust SQL, and Web services. MultiValue applications can now live on an advanced database that is well accepted in demanding environments and constantly evolving. Build New Applications Fast: Because MultiValue is implemented as a language and file access in Caché, all of the native Caché capabilities can be used to rapidly build new functionality. MultiValue programmers can begin to take advantage of object programming and easily interact with other applications while continuing to use the MVBasic language. High-Performance and Scalability with Outstanding Reliability for MultiValue Users: Caché provides dramatically higher performance and scalability for MultiValue users. Plus, Caché is used in critical 24-hour environments, such as hospitals, with no tolerance for downtime. Caché provides sophisticated journaling, transaction processing, "bullet-proof database", and fault-tolerant configurations. Migrating Applications to Caché Caché includes features and utilities that can help you migrate existing applications from a number of different technologies to Caché. It allows you to keep your existing data and leverage your existing code, while gaining the performance, scalability, and advanced capabilities of Caché. Migrating from relational technologies Caché has specialized implementation of SQL to help you port your applications from: Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase Adaptive Server Caché TSQL is an implementation of Transact-SQL. It supports many of the features of both the Microsoft and Sybase implementations. Informix Caché ISQL is an implementation of Informix ISQL It supports many Informix ISQL features Caché includes system-level classes for importing and compiling DDL, DML, and stored procedures. There is a Data Migration Wizard for importing existing data into Caché. Migrating from MultiValue technologies Caché supports migrations from all the popular MultiValue environments, including Universe, Unidata, JBASE, D3, and Reality. Caché's multidimensional arrays (globals) are a superset of MultiValue files, so it is easy to migrate existing data and schema from MultiValue technology to Caché. Caché MVBasic is a highly optimized implementation of the Basic programming language used in MultiValue applications. Dialect differences are accommodated by emulation switches – thus minimizing the code changes required when migrating. Caché offers CMQL, a MultiValue query language implemented on our highly optimized SQL query engine The Caché Advantage Easier Migrations: Utilities and Wizards make migrating from relational or MultiValue technologies as easy as possible. Higher Performance: Caché- based applications have been shown to run SQL up to five times faster than applications based on relational technology. More Options for Future Development: Once migration is complete, you can continue to enhance your applications using the full array of Caché capabilities, including InterSystems Zen technology, object-oriented development, iKnow technology, and more. Enhanced Scalability, Security, and Resiliency: Caché-based applications can take advantage of capabilities such as Enterprise Cache Protocol (ECP), the Caché security model, and mirroring InterSystems Caché Technology Guide Caché Technology Guide Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Printer Friendly Available In .PDF

text: Currently we have a garage with no exterior lighting on either side of the garage door. Many homes in our area have this and it really upgrades the homes appearance. We would like to install a light on both sides of the double garage door. There is brick facing on the exterior walls and there is a plug on one of these walls and we would like to install with a switch that has a timer so they go off and on only during the evening time. How can we do this since our garage walls are insulated and drywalled just like inside the house??

Centred around a shadowy Brussels-based collective of software developers and hardware builders, Herrmutt Lobby first appeared a couple of years back on Eat Concrete with their Bassfudge Powerscones EP, and two years on this follow-up EP Haters Gonna Hate sees them offering up four new tracks that veer distinctly towards leftfield hip-hop tempered with thick analogue bass funk. 'Alt Of Ctrl' opens proceedings with the sort of thick, treacly boom-bap beats and faded out synth atmospheres you'd associate with the likes of Clams Casino, as clattering trashcan snares boom away against glittering gamecore electronics and opulent swelling soul atmosphere, before 'Computer Club' unleashes a more dub-centred aesthetic as ragga samples get cut up and scattered over thick, swaggering sub-bass, sudden sampled King Tubby-esque drum breakdowns and a gritty background wash of digitally-treated sounds. Elsewhere, 'Major Grubert's shifts from an opening section of clattering Latin percussion into the sorts of thick Moog swells, warm burbling electronics and snapping laidback hip-hop breaks you'd expect from Luke Vibert, in what's easily the most space-funk oriented offering here. There seem to be a million and one people pursuing these sorts of sounds these days, but Herrmutt Lobby do it better than most.
