Montreux, Switzerland, 10 July 2015 - The Aga Khan Music Initiative and the Montreux Jazz Festival are again joining forces – this time to present a musical collaboration between the San Francisco-based Kronos Quartet and Mali's Trio Da Kali.
The Music Initiative and the musically adventurous Kronos Quartet have collaborated since 2008 on a project that brings the quartet together with leading musicians from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East to compose, arrange, and perform new music rooted in local cultural traditions.
The three musicians of Trio Da Kali – vocalist Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté and instrumentalists Fodé Lassana Diabaté and Mamadou Kouyaté –all come from a distiguished hereditary lineage of griots (bards) whose origins are in sprawling Mande culture of West Africa. Long-term collaborators, the artists aim to illuminate neglected repertoires and performance styles of the griots that comprise some of the African continent's finest, most subtle and sublime music. In doing so, they bring a fresh, contemporary, creative twist to their musical art, breathing new life back into this ancient music.
Trio Da Kali presents a performance that revolves around the soaring, rounded vibrato voice of Hawa Kassé Mady, who performs the songs she grew up with in Kela, one of the most musical centers of the griot world. The program includes dazzling solo balafon pieces by the group's leader, Lassana Diabaté, on the 22-key balafon. Few can match his lyricism and virtuosity, and the resonant sound of the rosewood keys of his balafon. Mamadou Kouyaté underpins the music with punchy bass lines on a large ngoni, West Africa's oldest string instrument.
About the Aga Khan Music Initiative
The Aga Khan Music Initiative is an interregional music and arts education program with worldwide performance, outreach, mentoring, and artistic production activities. The Initiative was launched by His Highness the Aga Khan to support talented musicians and music educators working to preserve, transmit, and further develop their musical heritage in contemporary forms. The Music Initiative began its work in Central Asia, subsequently expanding its cultural development activities to include artistic communities and audiences in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. AKMI designs and implements a country-specific set of activities for each country into which it invests and works to promote revitalization of cultural heritage both as a source of livelihood for musicians and as a means to strengthen pluralism in nations where it is challenged by social, political, and economic constraints.

SEBI moves on Anchor investors and Stock purchase for ESOPs
SEBI moves allowing Anchor investors to up to 60% of the Institutional allotment in an IPO will do wonders as India Inc readies for a barrage of public sector offerings and the season to borrow for Capital and investment considerations from Foreign investors looking to add both debt and equity in no small measure in this run in India.
Top 200 listed companies have been prima facie allowed to conduct offers for sale while ESOP companies hitherto constrained by having to issue new equity for each batch of new ESOPs will now be allowed to warehouse upto 10% of their issued shares from the Secondary market for such schemes; both ESOP and ESPS schemes.
PSUs will issue INR 600 Bln this year if SEBI's diktat for 25% float is followed through this fiscal and minimum IPO size at INR 4 Bln is validated by the increase in allotment for anchor investors.
The index shennanigans
UBL/USL and Private insurance(RCAP, MAX) seems to be on the ET Now survey in the call auction segment of the market while markets seeming subdued yesterday will make them start Friday smooth and low. Most likely however, is an uptick for the markets back to 7600 before the close as on Tuesday with markets well into buying at Banknifty levels of 15100 and Thursday following up with a rerated index allowing the IT indeices to ramp up on Q2 earnings season even as the Rupee repaired the Oil/Gold streak with more RBI buying also to come, ensuring yields come close to 8.50%
Our bet still is on 7500 puts and 7700 calls having lost their active premium and market index moving on to 7600 Pand 7700 Put writes in tune witht he adventurous form of the Indian markets this season. Most of the annual gains on the Nifty and the sensex are irreversible with fundamental earnings reratings coming at the first uptick of the new Economic cycle and markets wont really price option markets much better even if the markets movee to 7500 again before starting up.
Orchid Chem starts back on an anti insomnia pill for the US with Glenmark and Cadila likely to be strong and Stride Arcolabs back in the fray. Multi Retail FDI may be pulled down after a half hearted attempt in UPA and an ecommerce transformation for Walmart in India
The fundamentals
Index earnings have moved on to 375 (Nifty) and 1400 (Sensex) since 2004 when the index last reached 21000 highs on the sensex and the markets are well nigh fairly priced with earnings being updated with double digit growth every quarter at between 20-30PER for Emerging markets Infraco stocks are expected to see better traction with financing schemes and terms improving as project execution also moves ahead.
Power NBFCs like REC have remained unrewarded for their extra stable high NIM business and Housing NBFCs like LIC Housing are also standing with IDFC and YES Banks on fairly ferocious growth leading providers of Indian capital with high paced expansion suppoorted by bigger playuers like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, BOB and SBI.

After I made these cute Halloween jars (using this tutorial on this Not So Idle Hands post), I finished up a jar of pickles leaving me with another empty jar that I could make another one with. But, I had to figure out what I wanted for it to be. Then, I had the great idea to make a Jack Skellington one!
I drew out Jack's face & cut the pieces out of black card stock. Then, I Mod Podged them onto the jar, right on top of the white tissue paper. Here is the template for his face:
I am using flameless tealights that I got at the Dollar Tree (3 for $1), but that's just because I didn't have any string lights handy that I could use in them (they look much better with the string lights).
I think his eyes need better placement, but it was too late since the glue was drying and I would have ripped the paper. I think he still looks good, though! With all of the different facial expressions that Jack makes, I may have to make more of these for next Halloween. Guess I'll have to start eating more pickles!

Things are taking shape
When I started this blog more than two years ago, I did not even know whether or not there were any other active Steampunks here in Germany. Then it seemed like southern Germany was pretty devoid of Steampunks and now things are moving quite fast and the community is taking shape.
First of all, Cthulhu and the Mighty Air Kraken willing, the first meeting of the Club of the Bavarian Gentlemen will take place this Saturday. I hope it will not be the last. It is the first official Steampunk gathering in Southern Germany since the pub moot more than a year ago. Well, there was this miniature get-together between Miss Grey and myself but you cannot count this and I also made contact with Matthias of Steampunk-Welten in the meantime.
A shame I never got to go to Matthias' Cthulhu pub moot in Munich before we moved to Augsburg.
In any case, things are moving foreward. Apart from things happening locally, there is now a project for a German Steampunk movie. Before anyone gets too excited, it is only a project so far. It only started a few days ago. There are some ideas floating around but right now it is not even something I would consider pre-production. But: Every journey begins with a first step. It would be great if in a yea or two there would actually be a short movie floating around on privately solicited DVDs.
Well, I have subscribed to the concerning forum thread and will be informed about any developments. Should something happen, I will cetainly post something about it here.
So, next stop is the meeting of the Bavarian Gentlemen in Munich this coming Saturday, if any of you dear readers happen to be inthe vicinity, drop me a line, I give you directions. Obviously, I will report how it all went and what strange events unfolded. Since this is also going to be something of a micro-LARP, I guess we might have a few cases of background-story conflicts. But, let us find out. Also, I finally get a chance to wear my Württember Aircorps Coat. Oh what joy!

Festive fun arrives early in Laidley
WITH the carols blaring, the decorations up and a visit from a jolly Santa, Laidley was a scene of festive cheer.
Laidley got into the spirit for the Christmas in July celebrations at Das Neumann Haus on Saturday afternoon.
The event was more than just a sneak peak at this year's festive season, but a vital fundraiser to bring a steaming favourite back to town in spring.
Laidley Better Business president Warwick McLean said Christmas in July celebrations raised money to fund a return of the steam train during the Laidley Spring Festival in September.
"Laidley Better Business realised that it's been a part of the Laidley Spring Festival for such a long time and its part of the history of it and that many people were disappointed about it not being here last year," Mr McLean said.
"So we thought not just for the community but also for the shop owners, we needed to bring the train back."
Mr McLean said the train would benefit not only the Spring Festival but local shop owners too.
"People enjoy just simply the pure spectacle of the steam train," he said.
"Secondly from a Laidley Better Business point of view is to bring visitors to the town so they can get to visit our shops and help the economy and by coming in on the steam train they might see what Laidley has got to offer and then they might decide to come back."
Among the afternoon's festive fun saw the Something to Sing About (STSA) choir belt out a number of Christmas classics for their first public performance.
Crowds also roamed through a number of market and food stalls and tried their luck with the chocolate wheel during the afternoon.
Laidley Better Business will also host the Springtime Gala Event on August 30, which will have an after five dress code, to help raise funds.
Pre-bookings only available by phoning 0488 194 879.

...with all the emotional pain included.
...with all the emotional pain included.
Can you picture the entire development team (or company) in the psychiatrists' office? (OK, so I guess you probably could picture that. :-)
So, in the classic portrayal of psychotherapy sessions, what usually happens is that a lot of one's emotional baggage may be discussed as one tries to wrestle with "Why do I feel <fill in the blank>?" The theory being that you can't deal with that which you do not know about, or do not understand. Couples and family therapy works similarly... personal history and relationship information is discussed and revealed so that the individual (or couple) can deal with it appropriately.
The problem with therapy is that it can be painful. OUCH! No one can force an individual to undergo it. Some people get frustrated and quit. BUT for those who are willing, and who recognize the need... it can also be liberating and very useful. It is the same with Agile at the organizational level.
My most penetrating insight over the past several years of more than one Agile transformation is that Agile is really 'Organizational Therapy'. Think about it. All of the things we struggle with individually are there: power dynamics, self-worth, personality quirks, communication differences, status, history, co-dependency, and of course personal relationships.
Sidebar: So, when will the next great daytime soap opera be introduced that follows a tech company or IT group? Maybe it should be called "As the Code Churns"? Of course it would be delivered via podcast. But I digress.
Organizations are nothing more than groups of flawed individuals. Traditional development practices often shroud functional groups or individuals so that their behavior is little known or noticed initially but grows into significant problems later on in the cycle. These organizational behaviors and power dynamics become very evident, very quickly with Agile. It removes the shrouds and what is revealed must be dealt with.
From the "simplest" technology problem (such as continuous builds and test automation), to the weird political maneuverings in any company, Agile practices force these problems to the surface. Here is a link to a great video by Ken Schwaber and he illustrates the principle much better than I.
People who say Agile is a miserable failure usually believe that it was Agile that caused all the conflict in the team or organization. The reality is that these problems were always there, but we have relied on coping mechanisms that made us think we were "OK". The important thing to remember is that every conflict and problem discovered, (or discovered earlier), means better quality and (eventually) higher team satisfaction. This is an organizational quality issue... not just code quality.
Product management is inherently a political sport. I've seen this all over the place, and I've had more than one person describe their particular experiences along these lines, so tell me your story! I'd love to hear about it.

Last night the first UK Lotto draw of the week took place and as the jackpot has been won three times in row players had their fingers crossed that the winning streak would carry on to make it four jackpot wins in a row last night. This wasn't the case though as the UK Lotto results for Wednesday 20th February 2013 show that no ticket holders matched the numbers drawn to scoop the jackpot that was worth £2.2 million so it rolls over to Saturday's draw.
Latest UK National Lottery / Lotto Results for 20 February 2013

In total 171 players matched five numbers to scoop £2,512 however out of these 171 players two players also matched the Bonus Ball to win the second tier Lotto prize that was worth £339,727. Lottery.co.uk provides a full prize breakdown from last night's UK Lotto draw which includes how many winners there were in each prize tier.
Last night's numbers also make for some interesting statistics as the number 44 was drawn. This number is one of the most often drawn numbers in the Lotto results and last night 44 made its 245th appearance in the results. For more interesting Lotto statistics please visit www.lottery.co.uk.

Yeah, I know it's a misleading headline or some shit, and it's a "joke" or something, but there's just something completely fucking wrong with the world right now. ESPN changing a sports commentator because it was an Asian guy named Robert Lee, haircuts are Nazi, and everyone is a fucking Nazi.
I just want to go back to smoking weed, watching some stupid movie with Dave Chappelle, and not have to worry about a dude in a dress being offended because I referred to him as a dude. I want to go back to before everything on TV and the movies was about race mixing faggots who are gender fluid and women who are supposed to be better than men. I want to go back to when I could say that I wasn't attracted to black girls and not be called a white supremacist.
Seriously, I'm sick of this shit.

Bullshit. I text, drink, smoke, and all that while driving. I'm a driver extraordinare.
I don't recommend this because I am a rarity it seems, and I have had several run ins with the law while under the influence, but somehow I walked away not in handcuffs.
It started back in high school. Somehow I was just the designated driver, always. It didn't matter if I drove to the party or not, when we were leaving, someone would always pass me the keys. There were times when I would wake up in the morning with a friend's car parked in front of my house, but no friend to be found because I'd dropped them off at home and drove myself home in their car. Every mind altering substance, I still maintained my ability to drive. It didn't matter if it was LSD and a manual transmission, I could drive it.
One time, as an adult, I was drunk as fuck and got pulled over for speeding on the on-ramp to the freeway. The speed limit on the side road was 40mph, while the freeway was 70mph. I got out of the car and argued with the cop how ridiculous his interpretation of the law was, and how he couldn't possibly expect me to enter a freeway with cars traveling at 70mph while only going 40mph. I was yelling at the damn cop until he ripped up the ticket, told me to get the fuck out of there. Then I got back in my car, and was like, holy shit, I'm drunk as fuck, and I just argued my way out of a ticket! Probably helped that I was in uniform at the time.

Ok, time for me to step outside my bubble...
This woman was mentally ill. Cops are dicks, but seriously, this woman was nutters.
As far as the shooting goes... Shit fucking happens. We weren't there, so we don't know why he pulled the trigger. From personal experience though, worse things happen when you don't pull the trigger. "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6" was always my mantra... Until I found out military juries consisted of 6.
He made a judgment call, and it was a bad shoot. He should lose his badge at least. Should he go to prison? My judgment is no, but rests entirely with the DA and jury. Actually, I do hope that it goes to trial.
Like I've said before, the black man on average is dumber than the average white man, but there are plenty of above average brothas who are smarter than you or me. He may very well be an above average skinny.
One thing I do know though, is that there will be no Circle Ks burning down over this.

It's the outlaw mushroom hunters, those hardy souls that venture into the wild without compass, that most intrigue Langdon Cook—almost as much, he says, as the rumors of gun battles that have ensued over secret, bountiful mushroom spots.
"I'm fascinated by the mushroom people. They're making a living in this underground economy, which in many ways is the last gasp of the Wild West," says Cook, on the phone from his home in Seattle. "A lot of people would be nervous to be off-trail, bushwhacking deep into the wilderness, picking mushrooms and then trying to find their way out at the end of the day as it's getting dark. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea."
Cook writes about his own adventures foraging for fiddleheads, Dungeness crab, huckleberries, morels and squid in his essay collection Fat of the Land: Adventures of a 21st Century Forager (Skipstone Press; $26.95).
Raised in Connecticut, Cook didn't grow up picking wild foods; if anything, his childhood food history is supremely all-American: TV dinners, processed foods and sugar. "Food was bought at a grocery store, mushrooms were toadstools, and all greens were potentially poisonous if they came from the wild," says Cook. It wasn't until the aspiring journalist moved to Seattle from the Bay Area, in 1991, that he began spending more time in the outdoors.
"The next thing I knew," Cook says, "I was planning to go morel hunting or free diving for crabs or spear fishing lingcod."
Realizing the preciousness of foraged foods—he likens a morel bounty to "pirate's booty"—Cook began learning cooking techniques from his wife, who was from a Polish-Italian family that handed down recipes. The cooking and the foraging began to inform each other. "You want to do something that honors the food and really makes the best meal possible," says Cook. Each essay in his collection ends with a recipe, as well as tips on preparing crabs, oysters, shrimp, fiddleheads and dandelions.
Cook now leads foraging tours in Seattle and sometimes teaches local chefs how to search for wild foods. But after nearly 20 years of foraging foods on land and sea, Cook says the novice should start close to home, unlike the fungi renegades of what's known as the "Mushroom Trail," a route that runs from Northern California to Alaska.
"Start with the weeds in your own backyard and then get more adventurous as you go," says Cook. The golden rule is to never eat anything that you can't identify with 100 percent certitude, he says, and finding a mentor is the best option of all.
"I wouldn't just start trying to identify plants through pictures in a field guide and start grazing, because you can get yourself into trouble," says Cook. "It really helps to go out with someone and see these plants and fungi in the wild, what they look like, get a sense of them, hold them in their hand." After that, it's only so long until that food gets buttered up in a pan, tossed onto a plate and fearlessly eaten.
Langdon Cook appears on Wednesday, April 20, at Copperfield's Books (138 N. Main St., Sebastopol; 6pm; 707.823.2618), and speaks on Thursday, April 21, to the Sonoma County Mycological Association meeting at the Sonoma County Farm Bureau (970 Piner Road, Santa Rosa; 7pm; www.somamushrooms.org).

I walked into the treatment room with my new associate doctor. "Mrs. Kopopkins, this is Dr. Wang. He will be performing your adjustment today, and I'll be supervising. He is from Shanghai and is well-trained. I will be sitting here doing paperwork. Of course, if you have any questions, I'll try to answer them."
Outsourcing is the rule of the era. American businesses no longer own anything, repair anything or hire anyone. They simply contract with outside vendors who do it all. When discussing this topic with a chiropractor friend of mine, he lamented that it was a shame outsourcing could not be done in a chiropractic office. His shoulders are killing him, and he is tired of the staff problems. So, on a bet with my friend, I decided to show him it could be done.
I've been working on this outsourcing thing, and I think I've almost got it right. Dr. Wang has been a great set of hands to have around. Now I can sit and chat with the patients, tell jokes and stories, and finish my paperwork, while he does all the heavy work. Plus, I don't have to pay him as much as I paid Dr. Jobim, the graduate from that new chiropractic school in Brazil. If he had lived with 12 other people in a one-room apartment, like Dr. Wang does, Dr. Jobim also could have made ends meet working for the minimum wage I was paying him!
I have read that the fundamentals of outsourcing often advise against owning anything. I now lease my building and equipment, and also use a temporary agency to staff my office. After all, the receptionist doesn't do much. The office is mostly automated now, with patients making appointments on a computerized system in the reception area, which also can be accessed on the Internet. They swipe their own credit and insurance cards at a kiosk at the front desk. The funds are automatically deposited into my bank account. I use an outside billing service, so if patients have questions, the receptionist just hands them the phone and dials the number. If patients pay with cash, I come to the front desk and put it in my pocket. (Actually, this is not a new procedure.)
I use a paperless system now. I contract with a company that stores all the patient files in its database, and we pull them up on the encrypted Internet. I dictate the notes on DragonSpeak, and they are typed automatically. We also take a picture of each patient, because I have never been good with names.
There is a lovely couple - newly married, I think - who cleans my office. I say "I think" because they are from Guatemala and speak only Spanish, so communication is difficult. At first, I thought they might be here illegally, but their documents seemed in order. Their Social Security cards read "Schlomo Epstein" and "Shannon O'Rourke," which seems strange since they look more Mayan in appearance than Jewish or Irish.
My accountant is in India. But I hate to talk with him, because he always sounds terse and has no sense of humor. He is very bright, but unfortunately, there are some cultural differences that interfere with timely business. He is Hindu and apparently they have many holidays, including April 15th.
I have my X-rays done at a lab, but to save on X-ray interpretation costs, I have them read by radiologists in Jamaica who were trained in London. The images, of course, are digitalized and can be read by any radiologist in the world. I use the Jamaicans because they always send the reports back with a reggae music tag that brightens up the day. Previously, I used a Nigerian group, but the reports always had an addendum claiming that the chief radiologist was actually the prince and heir of a fortune, and if only I could forward some money, blah, blah, blah ... so I had enough.
One of the best outsourcing decisions I have made is the "virtual office manager" service from a company in Hong Kong. It is a computerized personal "secretary" that pays my bills, renews my magazine subscriptions, organizes luncheon dates and makes sure roses are sent to my wife on Valentine's Day. It's been a great help, but there have been some glitches. For instance, there was that Friday when 50 anchovy pizzas were delivered to the office.
I'm thinking about downsizing my office even further and laying myself off. But there may be economic consequences, since I can't collect unemployment payments. I guess I could claim that I, too, was a victim of "outsourcing."

>Good Morning Blogey Peeps
Hope everyone is well this morning, I am at work busily working away, well and spending a spare 5 typing to you guys and girlz.
Today is the 16th January, 21 years ago my Baby Bro Kieron or Max as I call him was born, I have very fond memories of his birth, we were all at home (well minis dad at work of course) keeping wrapped up as we were having a major snow storm, I lived in a very tiny village with roads as wide only as a car over an hour to the nearest hospital, I remember my Mom went into labour and it took over an hour to get the Ambulance anywhere near our home, I remember the poor paramedics having to carry my Mom in the snow up a hill as they couldn't get the ambulance near our home, I remember my Mom's best friend and her 3 daughters walking over 4 miles in the snow just so she could be my Mom's birthing partner as my Dad didn't think he would make it (he did) it was so incredible. Kieron was the last of four but the first sibling I remember really as a baby as there is just over 6 years between us. Kieron and I are close, he was very ill when he was little and didn't speak till he was nearly 4, but I always knew what he wanted. Today he is 21 and I can't really believe it, with age he has certainly learnt to talk and talk, he has become sarcastic and dry but he has always been there for me and I know he always will.
It was very fitting then that my Dad as a surprise took us to London shopping for Kier's 21st Birthday on Sunday, but the most fitting part, my dad took us to the Icebar in London, its an amazing place, the whole bar is made of Ice, walls,seats,bar, glasses just everything, it was totally amazing experience. (piccy's below) we drunk quite a few vodka cocktails and spent the designated 40 minutes having an immense amount of fun, this has made me definite that one day I will stay in an Ice palace.
So Happy Birthday Maxi, I know you will have a fantastic day and evening as a superhero (fancy dress for his birthday) make sure you take lots of piccy's with your camera.
On another note of COOLNESS, one of my number 1 blogger babes Laura of Katydiddy sent me a gorgeous package of goodies.
Laura is just a fantastic artist and when I went by her blog the other day she had drawn the most amazing Russian Dolls, well knowing I can not stop myself when it comes to these little cuties, I ordered a set of the cards straight away without haste, when the packaged arrived yesterday I could not stop jumping around cause whimsical artist extraordinaire had also included a beautiful Cupcake Plaque that I had been drooling over for ages.
I apologise for the picture quality but I took them in a hurry to show you, they are just so scrummy, please check out her blog and shop you will not be disappointed.
Anywho my mammoth post has now probably bored you to tears, so again I say thanks to Laura and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kier.

My boyfriend works in Saudi in the petrol chemical industry. It means that he has to be away from home for a long time, and I have to admit that it is not easy for me. But then again, it is not easy for me neither. In many ways it is like you lose a window into each other's and that can be tough on any relationship. More than anything, I hate to come home from the night shift at Kingston escorts knowing that he is not going to be there.
We do try to chat as much as we can on things like Skype and Facetime, but it is not the same. Even though I do spend a lot of time with my friends at Kingston escorts of https://charlotteaction.org/kingston-escorts, I do feel very lonely at times. Yes, it is nice to be with the girls, but at the same time there is nothing like a bit of sexy male companionship. When your boyfriend is away, it is not always easy to get what you need. Some remote sex toys are okay, but they are not the same as physically being with a person. That is the one factor that I really miss when he is away.
This time when he went away, we decided that we would leave our relationship more open. In other words, if the other partner felt like sleeping with somebody else, we would just go ahead to do so. Like I say to my friends at Kingston escorts, sometimes it feels like desire overtakes you and I am sure that is felt by all people in long distance relationships. Should you bottle all of that tension up or should you just go for it? We are going to try something different this time.
I have met a couple of hot guys since my boyfriend went away. Two of them are male escorts which is kind of good. They don't work for Kingston escorts. Instead they work for a male escort service in other part of London. The thing is that they are not hung up about commitment and that makes me feel better about things. If they wanted more than a bit of adult fun, I think that I would find the relationship difficult to cope with. Deep down I am very committed to my boyfriend and I do care for him.
Is my boyfriend spending time with other girls? To be honest, I am pretty sure that he is. But I know that he loves me and once he comes back home, we will have a great time together. It is not the ideal situation to be in, but once we get back together, I hope that we are going to be a little bit more relaxed. Most of the girls here at Kingston escorts do not really think that I am doing the right thing, but I do. I feel less frustrated and I am happier just getting on with my life. A lot of that nasty tension has gone out of it, and I am sure that it will help us when we get back together again.

During the the week of March 31th, I was very busy at work building an single page web application using AngularJS. I have been reading whatever I can find on angular JS, watching video tutorials, etc. I have 5 top articles that I would like to share this week.
#1 : Displaying a Flash Notice/Failure Message
I found this nice little website called Recipes with AngularJS and there are some good little tutorials which will help you get started on projects. I especially liked this on on setting up a flash notifications service in Angular. It's quite useful for any application.
#2 : Show route only after all promises are resolved
A good article that explains how to show routes only after the promises have been resolved, I used this article as a starting point for our web application. Bruno Scopelliti has done a nice job of explaining how to use ngRoute and resolve to load the routes and views. He has some other useful articles on tutorials on his site, definitely someone I've added to my follow list.
#3 : AngularJS: Timing Multiple $resource Resolves in ngRoute and ui-router
AngularJS has a feature called resolves, which is very powerful. It allows you to load a view once the data is ready when hooking up to an API. It's basically a promise, which you should understand if you have read the previous article. UI router is a plugin that you can use instead of ngRoute, which gives you better capabilities around routing in AngularJS applications.
#4 : AngularUI Router
A great plugin to replace the out of the box ngRoute in Angular Core. UI router gives you nested views and states and multiple and named views. We are using it at work for our web application to do some resolves, but hoping to dig into the nested views. Definitely check it out!
#5 : The Promised Land (presentation)
In this presentation, Domenic Denicola gives a pretty thorough review of Promises in angular. The best way to learn this stuff is to do it, about a month ago my colleague had said that he heard at a conference that promises is something we should look into. Then this week we ran into a situation in our web app that called for Promises. This week Promises clicked in my head around how you get the most benefit, and this presentation helped!

Somewhere South of Eden
Tommy Talton, who along with Scott Boyer comprised the core of '70s country/Southern rock ensemble Cowboy, has achieved the solo masterpiece he always had in him.
Cowboy recorded four criminally under-appreciated studio LPs before hanging it up after their self-titled 1977 effort. The group backed up Greg Allman on his 1974 orchestral tour, which yielded a live double LP and Cowboy's only officially released live music (two of their songs were featured on Side 2) until "Reunion 2010."
Talton didn't release a solo record until 2008. That one and its two follow-ups, while enjoyable, turned out to be mileposts en route to the idyllic "Eden."
Such bliss arrives in the form of well-crafted compositions, whose presentation is enhanced by a revolving cast of six world-class keyboard players, and maximized by meticulous engineering and mixing that puts the singer-songwriter's estimable guitar skills — particularly his slide work — front and center.
"I remember when I was first trying to (learn how to play slide guitar) … back in late 1968 or so … in Venice, Calif. … I could not play and it sounded awful," he said in a recent interview on Macon, Ga.'s WNEX-FM. "… (But I kept at it and) I went to bed one night, and the next morning when I woke up I could play. … Something happened that night, and I was not hanging out with the devil at the time, either."
Markham White, proprietor of Afterdark Designs Studio in Smyrna, Ga., offered some quick logistics on the album's recording as well as detailed technical insight into how the engineering and mixing process for "Eden" did justice to Talton's guitar work:
"The initial tracking of drums, bass, and scratch guitar and vocals were done at my colleague David Pinkston's studio, Boomtown Recorders, in the Nashville area," White told Good New Music via email. "All good recordings must start with a great drum and bass sound, and David certainly delivered. Otherwise, it is difficult to finish with a great product.
"All the guitars and vocals were recorded at my studio … and all mixing was done there as well. The keyboards were recorded by each artist in their own studios and sent to me for mixing, as were the great horns by Randall Bramblett (on "I Can't Believe It"). Paul Hornsby at Muscadine Studios recorded Chuck Leavell's great piano on "Poblano." Jimmy Nutt at the Nutthouse studio recorded Spooner Oldham. Ike Stubblefield and Kenny Head contributed great performances, as well.
"As for the guitar sounds, first let me start by saying that as a guitar player myself for over 40 years, I truly believe most tone is in the hands of the player. That said, it is important to work toward the best sound you can achieve. To that end, Tommy and I worked on several setups (different guitars, amps in different settings) to find what worked for him best on each song.
"The vast majority of electric guitar work was done on my SamAmp VAC 23 and Tommy's Epiphone solid body and his mid-60's Gibson 335. The amplifier was mic'd mostly in the tracking room of my studio but on some songs, in my studio bathroom shower. … We even used my Fractal Axe-Fx II on a song. Whatever served the sound is all that matters. I am not married to any particular technology, old or new.
"The signal chain for electric guitar recording is mostly a Royer R-121 or Sennheiser e 906 close-mic'd and an Audio-Technica AT4033 as a room mic thru API 512c preamps, API 550A EQs, etc. The acoustic guitars were mic'd with either a pair of Neumann KM 184s or Telefunken M60 FETs. Vocals were mostly done on a Telefunken U47 reissue through an Avalon 737 preamp/EQ/compressor.
"Recording and mixing was done on Pro Tools HD 7.3 thru a pair of ATC SCM25As with referencing on our respective car stereo systems. … The entire project was a bit over a year given our schedules. My recording and mixing philosophy is pretty conventional. I believe in letting the music dictate the approach. In this case, we wanted very clean recordings and mixes reminiscent of my idol Roger Nichols of Steely Dan fame. In the end, the project dictated its own sound, and Tommy and I were very happy with the results."
As on his earlier releases, Talton covers an array of genres, from Memphis soul/R&B ("I Can't Believe It") to slow-shuffling blues ("Hard Situation") to instrumental Latin jazz ("Poblano") — even to pseudo-bluegrass ("Don't Go Away Sore!" with special guest "Rev." Jeff Mosier of Blueground Undergrass on banjo).
But unlike his previous albums, "Eden" has a thread tying it all together — one that initially was intangible to this reviewer. Good New Music came up with a theory about what it was, posited it to Talton and received the following in response:
"I suppose the 'introspective' aspect (you think might be present) is just a natural outcome of my state of mind while deciding what I would like to put out there," he told GNM by email. "Actually, there are three songs included that have been in the 'must record someday' files! 'I Surrender,' 'Hard Situation,' 'When I Fall Asleep Again,' 'It's Gonna Come Down on You' and even 'Poblano' have been sitting and waiting patiently to be recorded at some point.
"I had forgotten there were five," Talton added parenthetically. "Wow, thanks for reminding me!"
As long as GNM had the artist's ear, there was — as TV's police Lt. Frank Columbo would say — "just one more thing": What ever became of those recording sessions that reportedly took place about 10 years ago with an eye toward a new Cowboy album? Is there a finished album sitting on a shelf?
"Actually, it's very timely of you to ask about those 'secret' Cowboy sessions," Talton confided. "Just last week I received some final mixes on that project that was begun, believe it or not, in 2008! There are four tracks with all the original members of the band, and the rest are more of a 'Boyer and Talton' affair. We are getting closer to those seeing the light of day! But, that's another story."

Something just isn't quite right.
Yep, totally missed going over the back beam. Thank the weaving gods that the back beam pops off and I could just slide it under the warp and put the beam back on.
My adventures in learning to weave

Oops! I promise I wouldn't have laughed (so hard, anyway) if it hadn't been easy to fix.
Every weaver makes this mistake sometime for sure. Yes I did too. Not because I just weave since summer 2009 but just because I was too hasty.
Oh what wonderfull it is that the loom can be taken in parts so any mistake can be fixed
Greetings Jolanda
You're speaking that foreign language again! 🙂 I'm glad there was a fix for your problem!
If that back beam lifts off, then you have an easy fix! Loosen off the warp and take off the beam, slide under the warp and then reset the beam, and off you go…. and if it doesn't … OOPS!
🙂 Susan
I'm so impressed that you've tackled the warping wheel/sectional warping – what's a little missed back beam once in a while? My solution to the learning curve of sectional was to remove all the pins and use the sectional beam as a standard.
I love your blog. I'm so glad you have similar problems to the rest of us.
I had that happen to me and I was glad I could remove the back beam.:o)

A Julia package to compute
n-point Gauss quadrature nodes and weights to 16-digit accuracy and in
O(n) time. So far the package includes
gausslaguerre(), and
gausshermite(). This package is heavily influenced by Chebfun.
An introduction to Gauss quadrature can be found here. For a quirky account on the history of computing Gauss-Legendre quadrature, see [6].
The fastest Julia code for Gauss quadrature nodes and weights (without tabulation).
Change the perception that Gauss quadrature rules are expensive to compute.
Here we compute
100000 nodes and weights of the Gauss rules. Try a million or ten million.

(The nodes near the endpoints coalesce in 16-digits of precision.)
There are four kinds of Gauss-Chebyshev quadrature rules, corresponding to four weight functions:
1st kind, weight function
w(x) = 1/sqrt(1-x^2)
2nd kind, weight function
w(x) = sqrt(1-x^2)
3rd kind, weight function
w(x) = sqrt((1+x)/(1-x))
4th kind, weight function
w(x) = sqrt((1-x)/(1+x))
They are all have explicit simple formulas for the nodes and weights [4].
Gauss quadrature for the weight function
w(x) = 1.
n<=5: Use an analytic expression.
n<=60: Use Newton's method to solve
Pn(x)=0. Evaluate
Pn and
Pn' by 3-term recurrence. Weights are related to
n>60: Use asymptotic expansions for the Legendre nodes and weights [1].
Gauss quadrature for the weight functions
w(x) = (1-x)^a(1+x)^b,
n<=100: Use Newton's method to solve
Pn(x)=0. Evaluate
Pn and
Pn' by three-term recurrence.
n>100: Use Newton's method to solve
Pn(x)=0. Evaluate
Pn and
Pn' by an asymptotic expansion (in the interior of
[-1,1]) and the three-term recurrence
O(n^-2) close to the endpoints. (This is a small modification to the algorithm described in [3].)
max(a,b)>5: Use the Golub-Welsch algorithm requiring
O(n^2) operations.
Gauss quadrature for the weight function
w(x)=1, except the endpoint
-1 is included as a quadrature node.
The Gauss-Radau nodes and weights can be computed via the
(0,1) Gauss-Jacobi nodes and weights [3].
Gauss quadrature for the weight function
w(x)=1, except the endpoints
-1 and
1 are included as nodes.
The Gauss-Lobatto nodes and weights can be computed via the
(1,1) Gauss-Jacobi nodes and weights [3].
Gauss quadrature for the weight function
w(x) = exp(-x) on
n<128: Use the Golub-Welsch algorithm.
method=GLR: Use the Glaser-Lui-Rohklin algorithm. Evaluate
Ln and
Ln' by using Taylor series expansions near roots generated by solving the second-order differential equation that
Ln satisfies, see [2].
n>=128: Use a Newton procedure on Riemann-Hilbert asymptotics of Laguerre polynomials, see [5], based on [8]. There are some heuristics to decide which expression to use, it allows a general weight
w(x) = x^alpha exp(-q_m x^m) and this is O(sqrt(n)) when allowed to stop when the weights are below the smallest positive floating point number.
Gauss quadrature for the weight function
w(x) = exp(-x^2) on the real line.
n<200: Use Newton's method to solve
Hn(x)=0. Evaluate
Hn and
Hn' by three-term recurrence.
n>=200: Use Newton's method to solve
Hn(x)=0. Evaluate
Hn and
Hn' by a uniform asymptotic expansion, see [7].
The paper [7] also derives an
O(n) algorithm for generalized Gauss-Hermite nodes and weights associated to weight functions of the form
exp(-V(x)), where
V(x) is a real polynomial.

On February 25th, the staff of Amoeba SF kept things very local and crossed Haight Street after closing in a group migration to Milk Bar for Amoebapalooza SF 2018! Part company party, part talent show featuring acts composed of Amoeba SF employees and friends, Amoebapalooza is a yearly tradition that is always a hoot. This year, the talent ranged from dramatic readings, to novelty rock, to electro-performance art, with lots of musical diversions and slices of pizza in between.
Thank you to our friends at SIR Studios for providing our musical back line and to Milk Bar for being the perfect venue and neighbor.

Cosmetic surgery is the norm for celebrities across the world. In order to maintain their super-glamorous looks suited for the limelight, celebrities are ever ready to go under the knofe. A nip and tuck, here and there won't hurt either. We can see varying degrees of plastic surgery's benefits and misuse through our stars. While the Korean celebrities are well know to make total transformations with their top-notch plastic surgery expertise, Hollywood is a mix and match of plastic surgery miracles and disasters. And now, the Indian celebrities are slowly catching up with the trend. It is quite evident that the older stars are used to Botox by now. There are a few nose jobs and lip jobs being reported too. Here are the top 10 Bollywood celebrity plastic surgeries.
Top Ten Plastic Surgery Before and After Photos of Bollywood Celebrity ?
Koena Mitra
Koena made more heads turn with her disastrous plastic surgery experiments that her on-screen antics. Believed to have been an attempt at improving her looks to attract more offers from filimdom, Koena had several plastic surgery procedures. However, her nose job went horribly wrong and she admitted to it too.
Bipasha Basu
The sporty actress is also suspected of plastic surgery love. The rumors say that the dusky beauty looked different during her modeling days and her curvaceous figure has got a little help from a cosmetic surgeon. Known to be a fitness buff, Bipasha also added muscle to those curves. However, her nose also look different – can we suspect a nose job too.
Sushmita Sen
The curves that Sushmita proudly shows off are allegedly the product of silicone implants. And unlike other secretive celebs, Sen was never shy to admit her plastic surgery involvement. We like the fact that whatever she got done looks good on her.
Rakhi Sawant
Rakhi Sawant is Bollywoods controversy queen of sorts – all ways in the news for worse than good. Besides breast implants, the item girl also got a nose job done. Her lips have also been pumped up with fillers.
Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka's nose job is no secret. She got it done right after her Miss World fame. This one is however good plastic surgery news. It was right to decide and get rid of that bulbous nose. Chopra may have also had some work done on her lips to make them thinner.
Shilpa Shetty
Shilpa is Bollywood's plastic surgery wonder. From an average looking girl to super model – Shilpa has got a lot to thanks plastic surgery for. Her nose job is a known fact. Her perfect figure is also under suspicion of liposuction. However, it is hard to say because she is the yoga queen of filmy world.
Kangana Ranaut
The 'Queen' star has come under a lot of plastic surgery speculation. Starting with a lip filler injection rumour, which could be true owing to the comparisons made from before and after pix. She may have also had some work done on her nose and bust.
Minissha Lamba
Another not-so-successful star from Bollywood wanted to trade her cute face for a hot one in order to attract more movie offers. She decided to get a chiseled nose and ended up spoiling her looks altogether.
Shruti Hassan
Kamal Hassan's little girl is slowly building her career in Indian cinema – both in the south as well as the north. She got her nose job doe right after her debut in Bollywood. Sruthi did confirm the Rhinoplasty. However, she cited health reasons for going under the knife.
Esha Deol
Esha was not too happy with her natural lips and decided to give them a boost. She got it done in the US while she was there for two months. Though Esha took care to keep the plastic surgery news from the public, it was pretty easy for her fans to figure out the change.

LOS ANGELES – This is what the Heat had hoped. If the final game of their road trip was going to be decided by one play, they wanted it to be on their defensive end.
After all, what better way to atone for giving away Wednesday's game in Sacramento.
"We thought it was very fitting that this road trip (ended) on a defensive stop at the end," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "That's all we talked about for the last 48 hours. … We're going to have to try to win this with our defense, that hopefully we would be in a similar situation as we were in Sacramento but be able to get the appropriate stop to get the win."
The Heat grabbed the lead with 15.2 seconds to play on a floater by Goran Dragic. The Lakers called time out and set up a play.
Isaiah Thomas, who used to kill the Heat when he was in Boston, took the inbounds pass with 7.5 seconds remaining. With Justise Winslow defending he went to his left. But when he stepped back from about 14 feet from the basket Winslow received help from 6-foot-10 Bam Adebayo.
Thomas released the fade away shot and it bounced off the rim preserving Miami's 92-91 victory.
Adebayo's outstretched hand may have been the difference, something he was late doing on De'Aaron Fox's shot at the buzzer in Sacramento that sent the game into overtime where the Kings took control.
"The previous game, (it was) the same situation," Adebayo said. "They went left and coach said 'You've got to jump.' So I was like 'Man, just jump and live with the result.' I contested and it turned out to be our ball. I'm glad it did. I'm glad he told me that."
Or, as Dragic put it: "Finally tonight the basketball Gods were on our side."
The play capped an energetic, productive game for the Heat's rookie center. Adebayo started for the fourth straight game in place of Hassan Whiteside, who is nursing a left hip flexor, and struggled in the previous two, losses at Portland and against the Kings.
Adebayo played a season-high 34:44 and contributed 11 points and eight rebounds while making half of his 10 shots. He played the entire third quarter and about four minutes into the fourth quarter before he raised his hand for a sub.
Spoelstra summoned Rodney McGruder and when Adebayo passed his coach, Spoelstra emphatically slapped his hand and then pounded Adebayo's chest.
"He was ferocious, on both ends," Spoelstra said. "So we played him the whole 12 minutes straight (in the third quarter). We just couldn't get him out of the game. That's what you want to do with your minutes. It's not going to guarantee that the coaching staff will keep you in there, but you want to make the coaching staff have to make tough decisions."
Adebayo re-entered with 3:30 remaining as Spoelstra went big playing him alongside the 7-foot Kelly Olynyk.
"I think it makes it tough on guys on the offensive end when you line up like that," Olynyk said. "We just went out to play big, just covered for each other, scrambled and did whatever it takes."
Adebayo then had the rebound off a Julius Randle miss with 23.4 seconds remaining that led to Dragic's game-winning basket before the big assist on the defensive stop that led to the Heat sealing the win.
"For a young guy like that he has a ton of great habits," James Johnson said. "You put that with his work ethic and the sky's the limit."

DBT Readers Have Blogs in All Sorts of Niches
A couple of weeks ago I launched a poll asking the niche of our readers. The idea for such a poll came from a reader, who was curious to know if the majority of my readers also blogged about blogging.
Over 300 people participated, and the result is in line with what I expected. That is, our readers have blogs in all sorts of niches. I would guess that just 1% or 2% of the readers actually blog about blogging. Why? Because one of the categories was "Internet Marketing", and that included Blogging, Social Media, SEO, Make Money Online and so on. All the bloggers in that category together made up only 9% of the total.
You can see the results by clicking on the image below (i.e., to view it in full size).
The category with the highest number of votes was "Other," with 20% of the votes. This means that most of our readers blog in niches that couldn't even be described by the mainstream terms like "Technology", "Politics" or "Education."
"Technology" and "Business" tied in the second place, each with 11% of the votes.
Another way of seeing it: 91% of our readers DO NOT blog about anything related to Internet marketing, blogging or making money online. I have more to talk on this topic, but it will be on a separate post, so stay tuned.

That's very interesting. It shows that you get a good diverse pool of people coming here, which has to be a good thing. It also makes things more interesting.
Doug Cole
I gain a lot from the daily blog tips newsletter but have always felt that I was out in the fringe of the readers of this newsletter, not being directly connected to the professional blogging community. So, even California Dude Ranchers are "in the club"….saddle up and "write-on"…Doug
Pinoy @ How to blog
I'm included on those 9% that blogs about blogging 😉
I look forward to seeing your post on the "other" category. I write about environmental stories and my most comfortable niche is deforestation.
DesQue @ SocialDiets
I would expect more people to take the poll, as there are 44k readers here everyday….the sampling smal is too small.
A Multi Niche such as Reduce Anythin' & Everythin' just dosen't fit into any category
How about a Multi-Niche category
Dana @ Blogging Tips Blog
It is because what ever niche the readers are, they do blogging indeed.
It was difficult to choose when taking this poll. Blogging about AutoCAD design tools and features, as well as hardware, management, and news it wasn't easy to pin it down to just one category. Great poll though. I was starting to think that the only people that made money from blogging were the ones blogging about blogging or how to make money blogging or other ways to make money online. Looks like there are a lot others out there.
Chris Guthrie
That's what I would expect based on the size and breadth of topics you cover on your blog. That's good though that the segment only takes up a small portion of your readership.
Armed with that knowledge (albeit from a small sample size) perhaps you should restart up your bloggers face off with bloggers from a niche outside internet marketing / blogging like most of the old posts appeared to have been done around?
ppc tips
I missed the poll, but I see my niche is made up of 9% of the participants. Thanks
Vornado Zippi
I voted as design. I have the technology category but it is like aside category. I have to move on technology ?
Ha 🙂 I guess I was one of the 6 who are gamers ..imagine that. Cool poll, even nicer to see results that you wanted.
I voted as design and it takes 6%, very bad, I have the technology category but it is like aside category and it takes 11%, good. I have to move on technology ?
Any way thanks for this kind of Poll and result.
