wsd.pl - automatically assign a meaning to every word in a text
wsd.pl --context FILE --format FORMAT [--scheme SCHEME] [--type MEASURE]
[--config FILE] [--stoplist FILE]
[--window INT] [--contextScore NUM] [--pairScore NUM]
[--outfile FILE] [--trace INT] [--forcepos] [--nocompoundify] [--usemono][--backoff]
| --help | --version
Disambiguates each word in the context file using the specified relatedness measure (or WordNet::Similarity::lesk if none is specified).
N.B., the = sign between the option name and the option parameter is optional.
- --context=FILE
The input file containing the text to be disambiguated. This "option" is required.
- --format=FORMAT
The format of the input file. For all formats there must be one sentence per line, one line per sentence. Valid values are:
- raw
The input is raw text. Compounds will be identified, punctuation is ignored.
- tagged
The input has been part-of-speech tagged with Penn Treebank tags. Compounds are not identified, and untagged words are ignored.
- wntagged
The input has been part-of-speech tagged with WordNet tags (n, v, a, r). Compounds are not identified, and untagged words are ignored.
- --scheme=SCHEME
The disambiguation scheme to use. Valid values are "normal", "fixed", "sense1", and "random". The default is "normal". In fixed mode, once a word is assigned a sense number, other senses of that word won't be considered when disambiguating words to the right of that context word. For example, if the context is
dogs run very fast
and 'dogs' has been assigned sense number 1, only sense 1 of dogs will be used in computing relatedness values when disambiguating 'run', 'very', and 'fast'.
WordNet sense 1 disambiguation guesses that the correct sense for each word is the first sense in WordNet because the senses of words in WordNet are ranked according to frequency. The first sense is more likely than the second, the second is more likely than the third, etc. Random selects one of the possible senses of the target word randomly.
- --type=MEAURE
The relatedness measure to be used. The default is WordNet::Similarity::lesk.
- --config=FILE
The name of a configuration file for the specified relatedness measure.
- --stoplist=FILE
A file containing regular expressions (as understood by Perl), surrounded by by slashes (e.g. /\d+/ removes any word containing a digit [0-9]). Any word in the text to be disambiguated that matches one of the regular expressions in the file is removed. Each regular expression must be on its own line, and any trailing whitespace is ignored.
Care must be taken when crafting a stoplist. For example, it is tempting to use /a/ to remove the word 'a', but that expression would result in all words containing the lowercase letter a to be removed. A better alternative would be /\ba\b/.
- --window=INTEGER
Defines the size of the window of context. The default is 4. A window size of N means that there will be a total of N words in the context window, including the target word. If N is a (positive) even number, then there will be one more word on the left side of the target word than on the right.
For example, if the window size is 4, then there will be two words on the left side of the target word and one on the right. If the window is 5, then there will be two words on each side of the target word.
The minimum window size is 2. A smaller window would mean that there were no context words in the window.
- --contextScore=REAL
If no sense of the target word achieves this minimum score, then no winner will be projected (e.g., it is assumed that there is no best sense or that none of the senses are sufficiently related to the surrounding context). The default is zero.
- --pairScore=REAL
The minimum pairwise score between a sense of the target word and the best sense of a context word that will be used in computing the overall score for that sense of the target word. Setting this to be greater than zero (but not too large) will reduce noise. The default is zero.
- --outfile=FILE
The name of a file to which output should be sent. This file will display one word and its sense per line.
- --trace=INT
Turn tracing on/off. A value of zero turns tracing off, a non-zero value turns tracing on. The different trace levels can be added together to see the combined traces. The trace levels are:
1 Show the context window for each pass through the algorithm. 2 Display winning score for each pass (i.e., for each target word). 4 Display the non-zero scores for each sense of each target word (overrides 2). 8 Display the non-zero values from the semantic relatedness measures. 16 Show the zero values as well when combined with either 4 or 8. When not used with 4 or 8, this has no effect. 32 Display traces from the semantic relatedness module.
- --forcepos
Turn part of speech coercion on. POS coercion attempts to force other words in the context window to be of the same part of speech as the target word. If the text is POS tagged, the POS tags will be ignored. POS coercion may be useful when using a measure of semantic similarity that only works with noun-noun and verb-verb pairs.
- --nocompoundify
Disable compoundifying. By default AllWords.pm compoundifes the input raw text. Using this option will disable this.
- --usemono
If this flag is on the only available sense is assignsed to the usemono words. By default this flag is off.
- --backoff
Use the most frequent sense if the measure can't assign sense because no relatedness is found with the surrounding words. This happens for path based measures and Info content based measures.

Now this is starting to look like a beach sunset! I absolutely love spending so much time with all the teeny tiny details. There's just something really satisfying about starting off with a few brush strokes and eventually giving life to my idea. At first I'm worrying that it's not looking quite right, but I keep pressing on. I guess just seeing it in my mind's eye as I start small, I just have to believe that it will take shape eventually. I go along thinking like this for about an hour then I zoom out to see the full picture. Boom! Everything looks awesome. That looks like a palm tree and stuff! Especially when you see it full sized.

Reptile Vitamins & Supplements
Prevent Metabolic Bone Disease with Proper Reptile Care and Reptile Supplements for Herp Health
There are endless reasons as to why pet reptiles have become prevalent with more families and within more homes. From their fascinating behaviors to their exotic physiques and stunning nature, reptiles are quite popular pets. In addition, many herpetoculturists and reptile enthusiasts appreciate the fact that various species of reptiles have remarkably long life spans. This is why there are reptile supplements and supplies available that have been specifically designed for promoting herp health and for providing pet reptiles with proper reptile care. As with many other types of pets, reptiles are prone to developing diseases and deficiencies when not given the proper care and nourishment, such as Metabolic Bone Disease (MDB), Osteoporosis, as well as the deficiency of Vitamin A. Promote the overall health and well-being of your precious herps today, while also helping to prolong their life spans by providing them with various health supplements developed specifically for reptile care.
Of the various reptile conditions that pet parents must be aware of is Metabolic Bone Disease (MDB), which is a common disease that has been known to affect many pet reptiles, especially iguanas. While a single cause has yet to be determined for MDB, many herpetologists agree that Metabolic Bone Disease can and should be prevented. This is why reptiles must be given sufficient amounts of calcium, Vitamin D along with other vitamins and minerals as a measure toward the prevention of MDB. Although there is a wide array of reptile food that has been formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of a reptile, there are reptile supplements available to provide reptiles with an extra boost of essential vitamins and much needed nutrients.
Calcium is extremely vital to herp health, which is why there is an assortment of reptile supplements that serve as excellent sources of calcium. Popular among many species of reptiles is Rep-Cal Reptile Calcium Powder with D3, as it's formulated with phosphorus-free calcium carbonate along with Vitamin D3 to aid in calcium absorption. There is also TetraFauna Reptocal Reptile Supplement, which has been developed to support skeletal growth and prevent reptiles from developing Osteoporosis. Available in a powdered form, this supplement is easy to use and aids in providing excellent reptile care. Another popular supplement is PetAg Bene-Bac Beneficial Bacteria, which has proven to be beneficial to reptile digestive health. Promote herp health, longevity and vitality with supplements made especially for reptiles.

UBC President Santa Ono has launched UBC Connects, a lecture series dedicated to bringing prominent voices to campus. It is currently only held in Vancouver, but will be expanded to the Okanagan campus in 2019.
Ono said he wanted to bring "world-renowned individuals to campus," especially those who are "often beyond the reach of a typical faculty or department."
"I interact with lots of faculty, staff and students every day, and a number of individuals have said that it would be great if in addition to the departmental seminars and lectures that occur around the university, we could bring some world-renowned individuals to campus that would bring people together across faculties and across disciplines," he said.
Three speakers — economist Jeremy Rifkin, First Nations activist Waneek Horn-Miller, and theoretical physicist Michio Kaku — have already been slated for the series. A fourth event with a to-be-determined guest is scheduled for November 2018.
Rifkin is an economist and author who has consulted government officials of the European Union and China on economic policy. In March, he will speak about his book, The Third Industrial Revolution, which claims that green, renewable energy will not only prevent climate disaster, but also radically alter the global economy.
Horn-Miller, who was also a water polo Olympian, will present on April 19. Her talk is entitled "The Wisdom of Reconciliation: A roadmap for multiculturalism," which will explore how we can integrate the history of Indigenous peoples into the Canadian consciousness.
Kaku, who is known for his work in science communication, will speak on September 26 about the history and importance of physics as the "key to pretty much everything."
According to Ono, he didn't pick the speakers himself. Instead, the decision process behind the series's theme, topics and speakers is carried out by the office of UBC VP External Relations and Communications Philip Steenkamp.
"I didn't choose them myself — I don't think that would be appropriate," Ono said. "Basically, I charged [Steenkamp] to work with others in the community to listen to suggestions of people that would be of interest to a broad range of individuals and to come up with an initial set of people to invite."
And while the first speaker event has yet to happen, Ono already expects UBC Connects to be organized as an "an ongoing, sustainable series" that will have long-term value for the UBC community.
"Since they are very well-known provocateurs, if you will, people that have transformative ideas," he said, "hopefully it will be a venue for students to really evolve their thinking, to expose themselves to perhaps different points of view than what they might typically hear, and to encourage them to be creative and think critically on their own."

Kaduna Book and Arts Festival
Meridiem Mundi Atelier was contracted to create the logo and corresponding collateral for the launch of the Kaduna Book and Arts Festival. Being the home of the ancient "Nok" civilization the approach was to capture the essence of the Art heritage of the state while referencing the new age. The approach was to make a logo that showed Nok faces as Book-Ends to depict the arts supporting the literacy drive of the state government.

Are your kids excited about the fact that Toy Story 4 is coming out in June? We can't wait for the new movie, and to help us pass the time until it comes, we have been be making some toy story themed slime. This Army Man Toy Story Slime is based on the green army men from Toy Story that have become so popular. It would be a great party favor for a Toy Story themed party, or if you are feeling more adventurous, you can make it with the kids at the party.
Army Man Toy Story Slime
Ingredients for making slime:
4 containers or cups
Large bowl
Popsicle sticks or spoons
2 cups white glue
2 cups shaving cream
2 cups foaming hand wash
2 tsp lotion
2 tsp cornstarch
Green paint
Darker green paint
Tan paint
Black paint
2 tsp baking soda
4 tbsp contact solution
Green army men toys
How to make Army Man Toy Story Slime:
To make this slime, pour 2 cups of white glue and 2 cups of foaming hand wash into a large bowl.
Next, pour 2 cups of shaving cream into the bowl. Shaving cream can be tricky to measure, so try and get as close to the measurement as you can. A little extra won't hurt.
Mix the ingredients in the bowl until smooth, and divide the mixture into 4 smaller cups.
Add ½ teaspoon of lotion and 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch to each cup and mix.
Use the paint to color each cup a different color. You will have a green, darker green, tan and black. Add more of the paint to get a deeper color. Stir until the color is completely mixed.
Now add ½ teaspoon of baking soda to each colored cup and stir.
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of contact solution to each cup and stir until the slime pulls away from the side of the bowl. (I recommend adding this to one cup at a time, stirring and then moving on!)
Knead each of the slime colors separately until the slime is no longer sticky. You will now be left with 4 colors of slime.
Once all of the slime is kneaded, you can stretch out your slime, lay it on a flat surface and twist to combine the colors.
Adding some army men toys to the slime makes it even more fun!
As your kids play with this Army Man Toy Story Slime, the color will start to change as the four colors combine.
Once mixed, your slime should turn an army green/grey.
This slime can be stored in an airtight container if your kids don't want to play with it right away. After noticing my kids leaving slime everywhere and finding lots of messes, I purchased these containers and they have been a life saver.
If you are looking for more fun ways to engage your kids, I highly recommend KiwiCo. As a former teacher, I was really impressed with the quality of materials found in KiwiCo. Some moms have told me that they want to do activities like I do on Mess For Less with their kids, but they just don't have to the time to go buy all the supplies and prepare them for the activity. KiwiCo is the perfect solution. Every month your KiwiCo will focus on a particular theme like Colors, Dinosaurs or Gardening. KiwiCo offer a variety of projects ranging from crafts, imaginative play, science experiments and more.

Hotels in which companions for the night can be brought in without hassles and preferably without additional costs, are escort friendly hotels.
In most cases hotel management will obligingly look the other way if you arrive with a new friend. But there are a few hotels out there that, for whatever reason, don't condone this kind of behavior. Usually at the reception.they are not discrete towards the escort visiting the guest.
In some hotels there are different ways to get to the elevators and you don't have to walk always through the reception. If so, it's quite easy to take a girl in your room without anyone noticing it. You can always ask the hotel staff that is it OK to bring guests to your room. You don't have to be explicit. Just ask about the unregistered guest policy. They'll understand the question, and you won't be the first to have asked. Sometimes even if the hotel is not guest friendly you might be able to tip the reception worker to turn a blind eye for your action.
Unlike other cities, in Budapest most hotels are usually very escort friendly and open to female guests late in the night. The only condition is that the escort to wear a decent attire as possible. Here is a list of Budapest hotels that allow you to bring your escort back to the room without joiner fee, extra charges or any hassle.
- Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest
- Budapest Hotel Ritz-Carlton
- Hotel Hilton Budapest Westend
- Iberostar Grand Hotel Budapest
- Hotel Four Seasons, Budapest
- Hotel InterContinental Budapest
- Sofitel Budapest Hotel
- Hotel Marriott, Budapest
- Hotel Boscolo, Budapest
- Budapest Buddha Bar Hotel
- Corinthia Hotel Budapest

This volume provides new insights into gendered interactions over the past two centuries between Germany and Asia, including India, China, Japan, and previously overlooked Asian countries including Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and Korea. This volume presents scholarship from academics working in the field of German-Asian Studies as it relates to gender across transnational encounters in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Gender has been a lens of analysis in isolated published chapters in previous edited volumes on German-Asian connections, but nowhere has there been a volume specifically dedicated to the analysis of gender in this field. Rejecting traditional notions of West and East as seeming polar opposites, their contributions to this volume attempts to reconstruct the ways in which German and Asian men and women have cooperated and negotiated the challenge of modernity in various fields.

al Qaeda'sWeapons of Mass Hysteria
could be a devastating weapon in the hands of a bioterrorist, a new scientific study suggests. Researchers at
the UK's Porton Down laboratory estimated the vulnerability of today's population to smallpox and used
historical data from Europe and North America to model a modern outbreak. They concluded the infection would
spread rapidly, with each infected individual passing the disease to between six and 12 others. [BBC News]
In reality...
An effective cure for smallpox
Even more importantly, Dr. Campbell discovered that the severity of the
disease was directly proportional to the general ill health and malnutrition of the patient. He spoke of
"scorbutic cachexia" and related it to scurvy, the "disease caused by lack of green food." (Bacteria, Inc.,
Cash Asher, Bruce Humphries, Inc., Boston, MA, 1949). [Full Details]
American operatives in
Afghanistan have collected evidence that al-Qaeda, the terror group headed by Osama Bin Laden, may have
stockpiled anthrax spores in Afghanistan. [Times of India]
Anthrax is not a good terror weapon. It was developed by the United States (which still holds the world's
largest stockpiles of weapons grade Anthrax) as a battlefield weapon, because there is no possibility of
runaway infection. Anthrax has no secondary communicability. People who have the disease cannot give it to
others around them. One must be directly exposed to the spores to get the disease. [Full Details]
Dirty Bomb
Radiological dispersal devices, commonly known as dirty bombs, are more within the reach of al-Qaeda's
capabilities. An RDD is essentially a conventional weapon that when detonated spreads radioactive material
over a wide area, thus contaminating it. [ccc.nps.navy.mil]
radiation dose from a dirty bomb would likely be relatively small, says the Rochester health scientist. Even a
potent dirty bomb, consisting of a radioactive cobalt-60 rod used for food irradiation, for example, would
deliver an average dose of a few tenths of a rem for people within a half-mile radius, he says. (A rem is a
unit of radiation dose.) This compares to the 0.3-0.4 rem average dose per year that a person receives from
natural sources, and 5 rem, the typical annual dose limit for nuclear and radiation workers (most radiation
workers receive less than 1 rem of exposure annually). [Full Details]

I only had the chance to use the app at the very end of my pregnancy, but it was an awesome resource. With places to record your mood, pregnancy symptoms, daily activity, hours slept, foods eaten and weight gain, you're always be on top of your nutrition and health while pregnant. And, the BEST part? If you have a Fitbit, you can link your Fitbit to the app and specific data will be reported to the Ovia app and then it's "translated" into what that means for you because you're pregnant!
I was also given a hot pink Fitbit Flex to try out, and I just hooked this bad boy up yesterday. I think I'm in love. It was easy to set up and I barely know it have it on, yet it's keeping track of my every move (literally). I wish I'd had this for my pregnancy. It takes all the guesswork out of eating well, moving your body and staying healthy.
If you're thinking of getting pregnant in the near future, or are pregnant now and want to be sure you're up on your nutrition, check out Ovia's website. You can test out a computer version of the app and get a feel for all that it can do. I promise you won't be disappointed.
And, if you're thinking about getting a Fitbit…do it. I love pedometers, so I love to log on a bajillion times a day to see how many steps I've taken. But, my most favorite part is the sleep tracker. Before you go to bed you set it to "sleep mode" and it tracks how long you sleep and how well you sleep. It even tells you how long it took you to fall asleep. Seriously, how cool is that!? It's making fitness and my health almost like a game And I'll stick with anything that's fun 🙂

A group of college kids go on a road trip to hell when they stumble across a small Texas Town with an entire economy based upon stealing cars and selling the parts. But what's the town to do with the group of people that came with the set of wheels worth a mint? Easy, just chop them too! Callie talks her cute blonde cousin Tyler into going to the lake with her and her friends. Despite an ominous warning not to go to the lake from the friendly Cait, the kids continue on their quest for fun, sun, sex, and beer. As soon as they get to the lake two hot chicks come over and tease Tyler into a threesome and take him into the woods. Callie goes to find him and meets the creepy Esteban and his set of evil twin henchwomen. It's not long before they all find themselves dazed and surrounded by many more in the same awful predicament. Callie and friends escape their captivity, but it's only out of the frying pan and into the fire for them as they discover workers at the factory disposing of others just like them. Uncle Buddy runs a tight shift here at the factory, where his precious and gruesome little granddaughter Betsy sits and stuffs her fat face with pretzels hand over fist as her uncle yells out his orders to security guards. A cat and mouse game begins between Esteban, security guards, those evil twins and Callie and her friends as you watch waiting to see the outcome of this horrid situation. Will anyone survive? Or will they all succumb to the fate that is passed onto them for going to the lake?

Considered as the supergrain for the future, quinoa is actually a grain that was consumed by people almost 3000-4000 years ago. This grain was first consumed by the Incas and they were confident that this food grain provided them with healthy life. Quinoa comes in the form of small seeds in oval shape. The seeds come in cream, light brown, yellow and deep brown color. With chewy texture and nutty taste, this food grain is stuffed with high nutrient contents, including essential amino acids, vitamin A, protein, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese, iron, phosphorus and fiber. It is also a rich vegetarian source of lysine.
Delicious in taste, quinoa is considered to have great skin, health and hair benefits. Mentioned below are some ways by which you can benefit by eating quinoa:
1. Helps in losing weight effectively
People looking to lose weight effectively can eat quinoa and get desired results in no time. Quinoa helps in boosting the metabolic system, enabling calorie burning effectively. Moreover, it also helps in curbing appetite considerably. And this is possible as the food grain is high in protein content. Along with this, this grain is also a great source of fiber, which helps in keeping one full for longer time, minimizing calorie intake. With a low glycemic index, this food grain helps in losing weight. When you are trying to make a healthy weight loss diet, make sure that you add quinoa grains to the same.
2. Excellent source of high and essential amino acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are some essential amino acids, which are needed by the body, but the body does not produce them. These can be obtained from the diet only. There are very few foods, which contain all the essential amino acids. Quinoa contains all essential amino acids including lysine, which is not present in many plant foods. Quinoa contains 9 essential amino acids in the form of lysine, valine, histidine, methionine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, leucine, tryptophan and threonine. A single cup of quinoa contains 8 grams of complete protein – a great food for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
3. Helps in balancing blood sugar levels in the body
High blood sugar levels in the body can cause various kinds of problems. Eating foods in small portions or consuming sugar-free foods are not the only ways in which sugar levels can be controlled in the body. Add quinoa to the diet and see how your blood sugar levels remain under control in the body without compromising on the taste factor. Start adding quinoa seeds to normal recipes that you eat and reap the benefits of this amazing super food.
4. Helps in quickly healing damaged tissues
One of the most important components present in quinoa is lysine. This is a key ingredient and building block, which helps in the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the body. The main problem with lysine is that it cannot be manufactured by the body on its own. Therefore lysine has to be provided from outside via diet. Lysine helps in quick healing of damaged tissues. In case there are people who are suffering from injuries and surgeries and looking to recover quickly from the same, consuming quinoa in their regular diet can be of great help. The super food grain also helps in creating ligaments and scar tissues for quick recovery.
5. Helps in nourishing and protecting hair follicles
Without healthy hair follicles having strong and healthy hair is not possible. Quinoa has around 15% protein, which is considered the highest among seeds and grains found globally. Hydrolyzed protein, which is extracted from quinoa, provides gentle and natural coating on the hair. Basically this helps in offering nourishment and protection to the hair follicles from deep within. Various high quality hair products, which claim to nourish and protect hair follicles, use protein extracted from quinoa seeds.
6. Quinoa is high on riboflavin content
Popularly known as Vitamin B2, riboflavin is an important component of the Vitamin B family. Vitamin B is responsible for providing antioxidants to the body so that free radical damage can be prevented in the body. Apart from this, there are many other functions that are carried out by vitamin B components. Oxygen is delivered all over the body in a better manner with vitamin BS. Enzyme performance is also enhanced significantly with riboflavin. Quinoa contains significant quantities of riboflavin and in combination with other foods; the body gets adequate amounts of riboflavin for optimal functioning.
7. Helps in skin rejuvenation from deep within
Until and unless the skin is nourished and rejuvenated from deep within, it will not have the radiance and appeal that it should have. Regular intake of quinoa seeds helps in boosting collagen levels in the skin. This helps in skin firming and tightening. As a result, signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, pigmentation etc can be avoided. The skin gets an even tone and texture and remains smooth soft and supple. Moreover, quinoa helps in reducing the clustering of melanin granules in the skin so that pigmentation and brown spots can be removed naturally. With reduced sebum production, chances of pimples and acne development also reduce with consumption of quinoa.
8. Helps in preventing kidney stones
Management of potassium content is handled excellently in the body with quinoa. As per a study, it has been seen that potassium activity helps in inhibiting uric acid stone formation. It has been proved that patients who suffer from kidney stones can be given potassium bicarbonate or potassium citrate as these help in dissolving the kidney stones successfully. However, the treatment needs to be continued for some time, say few weeks, for getting the best results.
Adding quinoa to the diet is a great idea for having a healthy mind and body. Available in different colors, this super food can heal the body from deep within and make it stronger and tougher. Find easy quinoa recipes and consume the grains in the way you find best and most suitable.

by John P. Thomas, Health Impact News
There is a new affliction that is threatening the world population. It is so new that it hasn't even been officially declared to be a disease, but the World Health Organization and bioethicists are already waving the red flag of warning.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is very concerned about the problem of "vaccine hesitancy," which they say is threatening the effectiveness of their worldwide vaccination program. In short, some parents are not automatically allowing their babies to be vaccinated even though such services are available. They are pausing, thinking, and in many cases walking away with their babies in their arms, and leaving the vaccine filled hypodermic syringes to be used for someone else. Adults also are not responding to calls for receiving vaccines even when they are free.
As always, WHO is on the quest for 100% compliance with all vaccine schedules, and is warning the world that vaccine hesitancy is causing unnecessary illness and death. They believe that 1.5 million children die each year from causes that could be prevented by vaccines.
The WHO press release date August 18, 2005 stated.
"Vaccines can only improve health and prevent deaths if they are used, and immunization programs must be able to achieve and sustain high vaccine uptake rates. Vaccine hesitancy is an increasingly important issue for country immunization programs. "

Emily Maynard and Jef Holm Visit Ghana
The Bachelorette brought gifts for kids in Ghana, where her fiancé helps provide fresh water
Just days after The Bachelorette fans saw Emily Maynard accept Utah entrepreneur Jef Holm's heartfelt proposal on the season finale, the happy couple boarded a plane to visit several villages in Ghana, where his company, People Water, funded well projects.
"Emily and I spent a week visiting different villages around Ghana that have recently received fresh water wells," Holm told PEOPLE upon the couple's return to the U.S. on Friday. "We typically visited two villages a day and spent some time interacting with the villagers."
Through Holm's company's partnership with Generosity Water, the well projects, Holm explains, have been underway since 2010.
"People Water has each well completed before we arrive, which means the digging and labor is done and we're ready to turn on the water," he said. "We visited the villages, met and celebrated with the people who will be drinking from the wells and played with the children."
"One of our first conversations that very first night [on The Bachelorette] was when I told him I want to go on a mission trip," Maynard told PEOPLE. "I didn't know what he did at the time and it turns out they were planning one at the end of July."
Holm says his fiancée wasn't just along for the ride. The minute Maynard, who's a mom to 7-year-old Ricki, heard that the trip would entail meeting many children in Ghana, her maternal instincts kicked into overdrive.
"It wasn't enough for her to just show up with the People Water crew and sit on the sidelines," Holm says. "She brought the biggest suitcase I've ever seen full of dolls, toys, books and bubbles for the kids in every village. Emily was by far the most loved person on the trip."
And this is just the beginning, Holm says: "We're both looking forward to helping more people around the world and a lifetime of adventures together."

The Microsoft engineers building Kinect "knew this thing was going to be viewed as a toy," says one, "and so it was going to be abused." So they abused it first, toughening the thing up to the point it could be dropped on concrete and still function.
Now, it's not said how high of a fall onto concrete Kinect is rated for, one of very few details not present in a lengthy examination of how Microsoft designed the device. The thing was also built to survive power surges if your house gets blasted by lightning. It's not guaranteed to survive, but it has a chance.
Making Kinect a tough sumbitch is foresighted, because undoubtedly there are hundreds out there who didn't buy the official $20 doo-dad that mounts it to the top of your TV, and have tried to balance it atop their plasma screen anyway.
The rest of the article, if you are so inclined, explains how they built something that really does do its job remarkably, at an estimated parts cost of $56 per unit, which are then sold for $149.

Even though we've just been through one of the most pleasant winters I can remember - no really frigid temperatures and just the right amount of snow - I'm always giddy with the prospect of spring. I get even giddier when spring actually arrives!
At least once a day I make the rounds through my gardens to see what's up and what's blooming. It seems there's always something new every day that puts a smile on my face and makes me glad to be a gardener.
The Hellebores emerged from under the huge snow drift a few weeks ago. The weight of the snow had them smooshed flat, but I could see buds trying to make it as well as new baby seedlings coming up.
Some of the foliage was black and ugly, so I trimmed some of that away and in no time, the plants perked up and the flowers were on their way. I've only had the plants for a few years and they don't yet bloom as profusely as some hellebores I've seen, but they still hold me under their spell.
Iris reticulata 'Harmony' is one of my very favorite spring blooms...
The deep, deep purple of its velvety petals, along with the pattern of spots has me wanting to be a bee and crawl inside. Yes, that's what those intricate patterns are for - to attract and lead pollinators to the goods. They get started early in the season, too!
I love Crocus of all kinds, simply because they're one of the earliest spots of color to appear. I'm partial to the striped ones, but my favorites by far are Crocus sieberi subsp. sublimis 'Tricolor.'
You can see how they acquired the 'Tricolor' part of their name, which is why they appeal to me, as well. They're a bit smaller than the crocus most people are familiar with, but they sure make up for that in flashy color.
Another favorite is Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa forbesii). They seem to glow, the color is so intense. I've got them in a couple of different locations.
In a small town near us, a large drift of them covers the ground below a small wooded area. I love driving by it when they're in full bloom (now!).
While I'm still anxious for warmer weather to arrive, I hate to wish spring away. Each day brings a miracle of new life that I want to savor! And besides, there are plenty of spring chores to do before summer arrives. Even raking the leaves out of the flower beds can be fun. I've found where the ladybugs live and there's all kinds of new growth going on under those leaves.

Hi, my name is Fox Tucker, I wanted to find the easiest and quickest way to track Digital Download Music Charts, specifically the iTunes Chart because that's the service that I use to buy all of my music.
I discovered that RSS feeds are the best way to keep my finger on the pulse. It took me a couple of weeks to figure it out and it works great. You can read more about iTunes RSS Feeds.
I guessed that one or two others might also be interested in knowing how to keep track of the music charts, so I posted the Charts on doiPod on one of my first sites. It was quite popular, so I built this site.
I had no idea that National and Local Radio DJ's, Music Industry Professionals, Fan Forums and even the Artists themselves would find musicchartfeeds.com useful in keeping track of what's happening in the music charts.
This site also takes a real hammering when NBC's The Voice TV show is running. So much so that I created a couple of pages just for their viewers: A real-time tracking of The Voice Chart and a legacy page featuring all of the Songs from The Voice TV Show.
I welcome your feedback and suggestions.

Here's a health and safety tip for homeowners in search of a cost effective alternative to bottled water: filtered refrigerator water. According to reports and independent testing published by the Water Quality Association (http://www.wqa.org/pdf/cancerpanel.pdf). Refrigerator filters remove harmful contaminants such as cysts, lead, mercury, pesticides and chlorine to dispense clean, cold water right to your drinking glass.
If your older model refrigerator doesn't have the bells and whistles that are common among newer models, you can still make the move to cold, clean filtered water… with the aid of an inline refrigerator filter and a little help from your local Action Auger plumber.
Inline refrigerator filters work well with older model refrigerators and take very little time to install. (Give us a call and we'll send help or walk you through it.)
Water filters work by removing potentially harmful chemicals and contaminants from your home's tap water. These contaminents can occur at the source (watershed, reservoir, well or storage tank), or somewhere deep within your home's pipes and plumbing. Water filters *don't* work when they become clogged with dirt and other particles over time. Simply put, water filter replacement plays an important role in keeping your water clean. If you can't find the right filter for your refrigerator at your local home supply store, we can help by sending one of our plumbing specialists to help locate the proper filter.
Regular maintenance and cleaning can extend the life and efficiency of your refrigerator. The same can be said about refrigerator water filters. The last thing you want your family to drink is dirty refrigerator water, right? So here's how it's done:
If you've got an older refrigerator with no water dispenser or ice maker, then you will need an inline refrigerator filter. One side of the inline filter attaches to your home's water supply line (we can help you find the water line closest to your refrigerator), while the other side of the water filter attaches to a line on the back of your refrigerator.
If you've got a newer model refrigerator with a built-in (or push-in) water filter, then all you need is the right replacement filter. We can help you with that, too.
Installing and replacing refrigerator water filters is just one of the many services we provide at Action Auger. Call us today.
Dedicated to serving the needs of our residential clients, Action Auger is home to some of the best plumbing technicians in the industry.

As evidenced by its jokingly self-aware title, Brooklyn band The Men's newest record Tomorrow's Hits is all about yesterday. It revels in punching up classic rock with the bluesy mainstays of walloping harmonicas and horns on amphetamines — but the throwback act isn't really an act. The Men aren't trying to reinvent the wheel — their songs are meant to be played in a crowded roadhouse to the happily intoxicated and vaguely nostalgic masses.
"Different Days" and "Pearly Gates" are the obvious standouts on the eight-song record. The former opens with a bleary bass and fast-hooking percussion before expanding, like a mushroom cloud, into the effortless velocity of garage rock with a groove that won't quit. There's even a welcome hint of emo weariness when vocalist Nick Chiericozzi sings And I hate being young. At just over six minutes long, "Pearly Gates" is the record's longest track; its rapid-fire guitars and cacophonous sound make it fast, slick blues for the noise-rock crowd.
The album is not without less exciting moments, however, and tracks such as "Dark Waltz" and "Get What You Give" get bogged down while building up to their climaxes, when the entire band finally lets loose. Overall, Tomorrow's Hits manages to build on The Men's previous releases, by keeping the energy, infectious riffs, and raucous solos for which the band is loved, and injecting a bit of new (well, old) musical DNA into the mix.

I decided to try this on a super hot 103 F day when I just could not imagine getting the iron out to work on a load of clothes. Toss an ice cube or two with your wrinkly clothes into the dryer. Run it on the hot setting. It totally works! It steams the wrinkles right out. Pictured is a work shirt that usually comes out of the wash completely wrinkly. Amazing!
This tip may not save a lot of money, but it definitely saves time. Ever have a dryer full of clothes that you didn't get hung up or folded right away? I keep a small spray bottle of water near my dryer and almost anything that normally needs to be ironed can just be lightly sprayed and hung to dry. No ironing and it works great! I also use it on jean shorts, pocket flaps and hems of shirts that won't lay flat after being dried in the dryer. My clothes look neat without the work of standing over a hot ironing board.
I have found that when clothes are wrinkled from sitting in the dryer too long, that if I put them in a damp towel and run the load for five minutes all wrinkles will disappear.
I have Dorothy original curtains. Some cover triple windows. When correcting mistakes and taking the bow off it leaves horrible wrinkles.

The Impact of Passion and Dispassion on Living, Leading, Teaching, and Learning
Today's guest blog is written by Gregg Levoy author of Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life and Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion.
When I left high school back in the 1970's and headed off to college, I remember my father telling me "Don't take courses. Take professors." The state of the world and the education of children have changed much since then, but not, I think, the truth at the heart of my father's advice. In fact, it may be more relevant than ever. Those who are passionate about what they teach can make even the driest subject come to life, and we along with it.
Passion is Critical
The mechanics of inspiration being what they are, one person's passion can have a profound effect on the unfolding of other people's passion, and certainly for anyone in a position of leadership or stewardship--especially relative to children and young adults. Whether you're a teacher, parent, minister, mentor, manager, coach, counselor, politician, or CEO, this much is certain: your passion is critical to their engagement.
As the poet William Butler Yeats once said, education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire, and in order to fan the flames in others, we as leaders and stewards need to tend to the fire within ourselves.
It surely isn't lost on kids the degree to which we ourselves, as their role models, are engaged in passionate if not lifelong learning, perhaps especially outside our nine-to-five lives. Do we remain interested and involved in the issues of the day? Do we read books though there are no tests to take, sign up for adult-education classes, or even just look up unfamiliar words in the dictionary? Do we lead our own lives with passion?
What makes the biggest difference in the quality of the learning experience for students, says Robert Fried in The Passionate Teacher, is a teacher's passion. "More than knowledge of subject matter, more than variety of teaching techniques, more than being well organized or friendly or funny or fair. Passion. Passionate people are the ones who make a difference in our lives" (p.16).
Passion Is Contagious
But when we as teachers and parents, coaches and mentors, are no longer learning, we're no longer teaching, because we've left behind the ability to role-model the art of discovery, the love of learning and being intellectually active. We no longer help students become "hunter-gatherers of insights," as Fried puts it, "just passive consumers of pre-packaged information."
We lose the ability to inspire by example. We can still palm off information, but it's once removed from the true purpose of education, a word that means to draw out. We must bring out the passion for learning, not just shove in the data, which will begin to fade from memory the moment the test is over. As the philosopher Alfred North Whitehead once said, "The justification for education is that it preserves the connection between knowledge and the zest for life."
But if passion is contagious, so is dispassion. A 2012 worldwide Gallup poll of 142 countries found that, on average, 87% of workers are either "not engaged" or "actively disengaged" (63% and 24% respectively), and only 13% "engaged." In the U.S. alone, this adds up to roughly $550 billion a year in lost productivity. Passion equals productivity, and lack of passion sabotages it.
Not-engaged, for instance, means checked out, but actively-disengaged means you're busy acting out your unhappiness and dispiritedness, and spreading the virus among your colleagues and students, family and friends, to say nothing of the body-politic of which you're a single cell. What it means, as a business columnist I ran across put it, is that if you're part of a rowing team out on a river, one of the team-members is rowing his or her heart out, five are just taking in the scenery, and two are actively trying to sink the boat.
Interestingly, what's missing from that Gallup poll is a category for people who are "actively engaged," i.e., passionate. Maybe because so few people are in it, they considered it statistically insignificant. But that would be significant in itself.
Being actively engaged, however, is as catching as being actively disengaged. You just have to catch it first before you can spread it.
The Community Follows the Leader
There's a reason some of the world's great stories, like Sleeping Beauty and the Grail King---of which there are versions all over the world--speak to the idea that when the king or queen sleeps, those around them also sleep and the kingdom sleeps. But when the king and queen awaken, those around them also awaken and the kingdom begins to flower.
It's an idea embedded very deeply into the mythologies, and thus the psychologies and philosophies, of the world, and what it tells us is that our individual work is also the work of the world, and that when we insist on our own aliveness, we stake a claim for everyone's--those with whom we work and those on whose behalf we work.
The Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez tells the story of a man trying to solve the world's problems, when his young son comes into the room and asks if he can help. Touched by his son's concern, but impatient to get on with his task, he takes a map of the world, rips it into little pieces, and gives it to the boy, telling him that he can help by piecing the world back together. The boy doesn't have a clue what the world looks like, but he takes the pile of paper off to his room.
Two days later he rushes into his father's study to report to his father that he has put the world back together. And indeed the shreds of paper have been meticulously taped together. His father is stunned, and asks how he did it. The boy turns the map over and explains that there was a picture of a person on the back. He explained he put the person back together and turned it over to see the world was back together.

Site-Wide Activity › Forums › Tea Conversations › What is your "tea story"?
May 24, 2011 at 13:44 #5896
When did you start drinking tea and made it stick for you?What kind of teas did you start with and how did you transition to what you drink now (if it is different)?I started drinking tea the way I do these days because of Jackie so I blame her for me wanting to create this website… (I'll go into how I started drinking tea after a few responses!)
May 24, 2011 at 17:44 #5897
Was a coffee drinker when I married.At first, I brewed tea for my wife, then I'd periodically take a sip, and finally I'd share a pot. Now I'm the tea obsessive here, and she relies on me exclusively to make the tea recommendations.
May 25, 2011 at 13:06 #5898
I used to drink tea when I was a child, then I stopped but I started again later.
May 26, 2011 at 14:55 #5899
I started drinking bag tea in high school thanks to an obsession for all things British. In my early twenties I went through a really difficult time with my grandfather being sick & dying. For some reason, I turned to loose leaf tea as a crutch.
June 4, 2011 at 20:42 #5900
Started drinking tea when I was 15 because of a sore throat. Became addicted and, well, the rest is evident through my blog 😉
June 5, 2011 at 20:04 #5901
When my daughter was born her nap time became my tea time. A chance to reflect on the joys and wonders of motherhood.
June 13, 2011 at 07:07 #5902
And the story for @sirwilliamoftheleaf goes on…Congrats!
June 13, 2011 at 11:01 #5903
@Jackie Thanks! Yes the story of my ridiculous antics continues on! 🙂
June 13, 2011 at 12:55 #5904
I drank 'tea' from my high school days at the early iteration of Tea House Guan Yin in Seattle. Pots of herbal infusions like World Peace until all hours. It wasn't until I moved to Japan that I became truly interested in Tea. Studying Japanese in the mountains of Gifu I was introduced to a local tea mistress and started studying under her. Not speaking much Japanese at that point, it was difficult to say the least, but I soon learned more about tea than I thought existed. From there I found Dong Ding and the Taiwanese teas. Then I was introduced to the world of Puer and the trap was set. I am now captivated by the world of tea and infatuated with the ever more complex puer niche.
June 13, 2011 at 12:58 #5905
Looking forward to the Peter response.
September 14, 2012 at 18:22 #8296
Sorry for joining the topic so late, I can't resist reading and writing on forums!
When I was in college I took a Japanese class just for fun. I eventually became obsessed with Japanese culture, and once I graduated I went to study in Japan for a year.
That was when I really got into green tea. I still dream of living in Japan someday…
September 14, 2012 at 20:24 #8299
It's never too late for any topic, glad you revisited it @riccaicedo – Do you speak/read some Japanese then?
We were just given some Sencha, straight from Japan but that's all I know about it and can read – maybe I should see if I can post a pic.
September 17, 2012 at 13:52 #8309
A bit like me.
September 19, 2012 at 14:56 #8316
Not sure when I first sipped tea. Each time I drink tea it is like having a mini vacation. I love the velvety taste of tea steeped with loose leaves. I love the way the leaves dance in the cup and float in a glass teapot. They float as I float enjoying the first few sips, dreaming of creativitea and life. Tea fills my mind with goodness. I adore how tea makes conversations flow like a river, and how it inspires my pen to dance across a page.

I didn't used to like tea … back when I thought tea = bagged tea from the grocery store. That's probably because tea didn't really come into my home until I was eight years old, after my father married a horrible woman. She brought with her three children and a house full of wares including a box of tea. That same box of tea was still in the house when I moved out of the household ten years later. (By the way, the fact that she had bad taste in tea was not the reason why she was horrible. It just sort of emphasizes it though, doesn't it? LOL)
So, that was my whole experience with tea up until that point, except for the occasional glass of sun tea when I happened to be visiting my paternal grandmother's house (my beloved gramma) – the sun tea was actually quite lovely, but other than that, the only time I drank tea growing up was when I wanted something hot to drink for my sore throat.
However, I always loved tea sets. I collected them as a child, and once grown, I started up collecting them again because they were something from my childhood that gave me joy. Once I had a rather large collection of mini tea sets, I started collecting full-sized teacups and saucers … and eventually, I decided that I might like to drink something from them. I visited a tea house and tried loose leaf for the first time and I loved it.
But, at that time, I was a coffee drinker, so I was only the occasional tea drinker … drinking it only when I had a chance to visit a tea house because I didn't think I could recapture that flavor at home properly. Eventually, though, I came to realize that coffee was making me sick. I'd start each day with a cup of coffee and by 11 am I was feeling quite nauseous. I quit drinking coffee but still needed something to help me gain some sense of alertness, so I started drinking chai lattes. Since I had the local coffee house make these for me, they were too sweet, so I started looking for better alternatives … and eventually started really discovering tea.
Before that, the only tea I had at home was a chocolate tea blend that a local (well, local at the time) antique shop crafted. When they went out of business, I was out of my tea, so as I was at my "discovering tea" point, I was also in need of a good chocolate tea blend, so I started also learning everything I could about flavoring and blending teas so that I could recreate that chocolate blend. I ended up not just recreating it, but, making something even better. 🙂
Which is how LiberTEAS got started.

@riccaicedo I agree with @jackie it is never too late to bring forward old posts.
October 9, 2012 at 22:18 #8541
My grandmother got me started drinking bagged Lipton or Salada tea. She put a lot of milk and sugar in those first cups we shared. We always had pb&j on toast too. It was our "thing" when she visited in the summer. Then I sort of forgot about tea when I was in college. Coffee got me through the late nights of putting off papers and projects till the last minute.
But when my husband was living with his college buddies before we were married one of them made me a cup of loose leave tea. It was from Teavana (I want to say aztec fire and mate vana) and I was in love with tea from then on. Thankfully I found places like Tea Trade and Steepster which lead to better tea and more tea friends.

I went to great lengths to tell my tea story recently here:

@ricanstruction Welcome to this community. It's really interesting to hear each person's story. Some have been drinking for decades and some are still new to the leaf. It's nice to see there are so many tea drinkers – and it's lovely getting to know them cup by cup.

@ricanstruction tea parties? I never had one.

Think Halloween decorations have to be expensive? Make these spooky crystal ball decorations with items from the Dollar Tree Halloween section.
The future isn't looking too bright!
The smoke is clearing in my crystal ball… I see screams, scares, spiders, skeletons and scorpions in your future.
Outlook, not so good!
How dreadful! (Or delightful, depending on how you look at it!)
If you're a regular reader, you know how much I love decorating for Halloween. And the Dollar Tree Halloween section is my hands-down favorite place to find decorations, party supplies and craft supplies to set a spooky scene for Oct. 31.
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post, but I only recommend companies and product I love. Affiliate links are included in this post, I'll be compensated if someone clicks on an affiliate link and makes a purchase. Read my full disclosure policy here.
So, I was thrilled when Dollar Tree asked me to create a Halloween craft to share with my readers and their customers.
I came up with these incredibly creepy crystal balls — or maybe they're the preserved specimens of a wicked madwoman!
Judging by how much fun I had making these, the latter may be truer than I'd like to admit. I got to conjure smoke, behead some (faux) skeletons and wrangle some spiders and scorpions all in the name of crafting!
- Iron oil warmer
- Round glass floral bowl
- Creepy Cloth
- Plastic hanging skeleton or plastic rat skeleton or plastic skeleton garland
- Tape
- Rubber spiders and scorpions (available in Dollar Tree stores
- Super Glue
- Candle and matches (optional)
- Oven mitt
- Wooden clothespins
- fishing line
To give your crystal balls an extra spooky look, I recommend adding a little soot to the interior. But if you're hesitant about working with an open flame, skip this step.
To smoke the interior of the glass bowl, run the edges of the glass bowl over a candle flame. Be very careful when holding the glass over the flame. It gets hot quickly. I recommend using an oven mitt or potholder so you don't burn yourself. Also, do not allow the glass to get too hot as it could break.
While the glass bowl is cooling after being smoked, remove the head from a plastic hanging skeleton. (You can also use a rat skeleton, a bird skeleton or one of the miniature skeletons from the plastic skeleton garland available at Dollar Tree.) String the head on a short length of fishing line, tying to secure.
Once the glass bowl has cooled completely, use tape to hang the skull from the bottom of the bowl. (If there's soot on the bottom of the bowl, you may have to wipe some of it away to make the tape stick.)
Next, apply a thin line of super glue around the edge of the glass bowl and glue, upside down, to the iron candle warmer.
Use Super Glue to attach rubber scorpions and spiders to the base of the oil warmer. It's helpful to use clothespin to hold the creepy creatures in place while the glue sets. Just don't leave the clothespins on too long, or you may glue them to the iron! A minute or less should do the trick.
Finally, wrap a strip of creepy cloth around the base of the iron warmer and drape more on the top of the crystal ball. Embellish with more rubbers spiders and scorpions. You can use a bead of glue to hold them in place.
I love how delightfully spooky these turned out!
I found so many fun Dollar Tree Halloween items to use in my seasonal decorating!
This silver metallic skull was a favorite. (He's also available in gold and black.)
I added the black stand by spray painting a glass taper candle holder matte black and gluing the skull on top with Super Glue.
This entire Halloween display cost me just $15 to make, including craft supplies and the spooky black-and-white scarf, another Dollar Tree find.
To buy the items listed in this project and more go to DollarTree.com or your local Dollar Tree store today! If you're shopping for Dollar Tree Halloween items in late September or October, please shop at your local store, as online items are removed to stock stores.

|About this Recording
8.550132 - SCHUBERT: Piano Trios in E-Flat Major, D. 929 and D. 897
Franz Schubert (1797 - 1828)
Piano Trio No.2 in E Flat Major, Opus 100 (D. 929)
Of the great composers associated with Vienna in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Schubert alone was Viennese by birth. Haydn had been born in Rohrau, a village a few miles from Pressburg, better known as Bratislava, the principal city of Slovakia, but had spent his last years of retirement in the capital, after a career that had passed largely in Eisenstadt and at the great palace of Esterház in Hungary. Mozart was a product of provincial Salzburg, and had only escaped from there to spend the last precarious ten years of his life in Vienna, while Beethoven, a native of Sonn, was 22 before he finally settled there.
Franz Schubert's parents, it was true, were not Viennese. His father had left Neudorf, in Moravia, to follow his brother to Vienna to pursue his vocation as a schoolmaster. His mother had come to the city from Silesia. The composer, however, was born in a schoolhouse in the Himmelpfortgrund in 1797, the fourth surviving child of his parents. As a child he learned the piano and the violin and had further lessons in theory, before being accepted at the age of eleven into the Imperial Chapel Choir.
Service as a chorister under Kapellmeister Antonio Salieri, from whom he was later to receive instruction in the setting of words, brought with it the privilege of attending the Staatskonvikt. It was at school that Schubert acquired experience in the orchestral repertoire of the time, while at home the family quartet, in which his father played the cello, offered further opportunities. At the same time he w rote music of all kinds, the earliest surviving examples of which come from 1810, his fourteenth year.
By the age of 16 Schubert was presented with a choice. He could have remained at school, with a scholarship, the award being conditional on a concentration on academic subjects at the expense of music. Only one course was possible, and Schubert left school to enter, in 1814, for a one-year course of training as an elementary school teacher, a career on which he embarked, in his father's schoolroom, the following year. During these years Schubert continued to write music, songs in profusion, chamber music, Masses, symphonies, even operas. By 1816 he had given up teaching, at least for the moment, and had gone to live with a friend, Franz von Schober. The following years were to be spent largely in the company of a changing circle of friends, whose loyalty and admiration did much to stimulate his genius, providing at the very least a domestic audience for his songs and chamber music.
It is ironical that only towards the end of Schubert's life were signs apparent of a wider public recognition. He had not been unknown in Vienna, at least as a song composer, but he lacked the resources that rich patrons or official appointments might have provided. 1828 brought the first public concert dedicated to his works, a successful occasion, and at the same time publishers had begun to show greater interest in his music. This promise of material success was cut short by his sudden death in November, 1828, after an illness resulting from the debilitation of a syphilitic infection that had brought intermittent suffering during the last six years of his life and had offered him the ever-present spectre of certain death.
The two works for piano trio, the Piano Trios in E flat and the Nottumo, were probably written late in 1827. It has been suggested that the single movement Adagio, known as the Nottumo, was originally intended as a slow movement for the first Piano Trio, and the dating of the paper used for the surviving autograph of this movement has been used as evidence of the date of composition of the trio to which it has been supposed to belong. The Andante un poco mosso in E flat that forms the present slow movement starts with a gentle theme for the cello, followed by the violin, and the piano in a changed key, leading into further chromatic exploration. There is a Scherzo and contrasting Trio of great charm, and a final movement of amiable brilliance.
The Piano Trio in E flat a work that Schumann found more spirited, masculine and dramatic in tone than the earlier work, for which he expressed a general preference, was first performed at the private party in January 1828 to celebrate the engagement of Schubert's school-friend Josef von Spaun and formed part of the later public concert in March. The first movement starts with an immediate call to our attention and a first subject of dramatic outline is followed by a more lyrical second theme, introduced by the cello, closely followed by the violin. Longer than the movement that had introduced the earlier piano trio, and of greater harmonic complexity, this opening is followed by a C minor slow movement with a melody that Schubert's friend Sonnleithner identified as a Swedish folk-song Se solen sjunker. (The sun is down.) The use of canon in the Scherzo, as violin and cello enter in imitation of the piano, has its precedents, not least in Haydn. The movement includes a Trio of dynamic contrasts. The final Allegro moderato is introduced by the piano with a lilting melody, in a movement that is to include contrasting episodes and even the suggestion of a Turkish element as well as a reminiscence of the folk-song of the slow movement, in a sonata-rondo that moves to a brilliant conclusion.
