Repair Wheels | Lake Elsinore
Wheel and Custom Rim Damage Repair
From Pot Holes to Curb Damage
All Wheels Take A Beating
But I Swear I Didn't Hit a Curb
Damage to the wheels on your vehicle often happens when they come into contact with a curb. You may not even feel the impact but the full weight of your vehicle is felt by your tire and wheel assembly. This impact can result in breaking, scratching, dents and also removed paint from the wheel. Aside from hitting a curb, other common causes of wheel damage is going over pothole and speed bumps.
Why Repair Wheels? Even Minor Damage can Cause Problems.
A minor bend in a wheel can cause the wheel assembly to be out of round and therefore out of balance causing a vibration at certain speeds. An out of balance tire and wheel assembly can cause uneven and premature tire wear.
If the wheel is bent on the inside flange (say from a pot hole), and you can't see the damage, you may think you just need to get the tire and wheel assembly balanced. A damage front wheel might also cause the vehicle to pull to one side or the other and you may suspicion an alignment or frame problem. When you experience any of these problems, have your tire and wheel assemblies checked by professionals.

text: Copy and paste from the TorontoSun Toronto Sun - A large model of a poppy was burned in protest of the war in Afghanistan and several demonstrators chanted during two minutes of silence in London during Thursday morning Armistice Day ceremonies. A group that calls itself Muslims Against Crusades chanted, "British soldiers burn in hell," and held signs saying, "Islam will dominate" and, "Our dead are in paradise, your dead are in hell." The Remembrance Day protest, near Hyde Park, involved 50 members of the group, the Daily Mail newspaper reported. Another 50 counter-demonstrators were also there. The two groups were separated by police. "We are demonstrating because this day is a day of remembrance to remember every single fallen soldier, including those killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. We find it disgusting that innocent people, innocent children, have been killed in an illegal and unjust war and we are demonstrating against that," Asad Ullah of Muslims Against Crusades said, several media outlets reported. "We want the government to pull the troops out from these countries and to stop interfering in our affairs." On its website, which features photos of children injured or dead, the group called the protest "an emergency demonstration" to "break the silence." In a video message, group member Abu Ubaidah said British soldiers, along with U.S. troops, are involved in assaulting, raping and murdering Muslims. "The general British public, they show their support of the murdering of Muslims, by wearing the poppy," he said. "The two minute silence for the soldiers is a condemnable event and the wearing of the poppy is symbolic of the war against Islam and Muslims, which needs to be condemned. And we will not be silent." Police told the Daily Mail three men were arrested - two for public order offences and one for assaulting an officer.

We use only Australian made 3mm HW350 weathering steel for all our rusting laser cut screens.
What is weathering steel?
Weathering steel, best-known under the trademark COR-TEN steel is a group of steel alloys which were developed to eliminate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather.
Weathering steel arrives UNRUSTED and will rust with natural exposure to the weather.
Weathering steel requires alternating wet and dry cycles to form a properly adhered protective layer. Areas that have salt laden air, high rainfall, humidity, or persistent fog are typically not the proper environment for weathering steel.
WILL weathering steel CONTINUE TO RUST?
Weathering Steel never completely stops rusting. The weathering process occurs after the panel is installed. It eventually decreases and from that point on the finish acts as a protective coating for the base metal.
This protective coating essentially stops the corrosion. Laboratory analysis of the rust film have shown that the alloying elements in the steel, particularly copper, chromium, and nickel produced insoluble compounds that clogged the pores at the rust/steel interface, thereby ending the regeneration.
Yes, rust runoff will likely stain the surrounding areas. It is not recommended to use weathering steel on any light coloured painted, wood or tiled surfaces.
There are no warranties for weathering Steel.
DISSIMILAR METALS AND weathering steel:
In general do NOT use dissimilar metals with weathering steel.
Galvanized, galvalume®®, and zinc should NOT come into contact with weathering steel. Stainless steel is compatible with weathering steel.
WHAT fasteners should I use?
It is recommended to use only 316 stainless steel screws.
Available sheet sizes:
1200mm x 2400mm
1200mm x 3000mm
Gauge: 3mm and 6mm only

Yesterday, our neighbor Thomas got his bees! He raised bees last year, but then sent them Elsewhere for the winter because he wanted to start fresh with a cool new Top Bar Hive. No more white boxy boxes for him, no sir. He has a very cool Mt. Ararat-looking Bee Ark. And now, he has new bees to go in it.
The day before, The Beloved agreed to go with him to pick up the bees. We're all very excited about having local honey. Very local honey. I was the Official Photographer (because their camera was full), so I thought I'd share some of them with you. Enjoy the following Photo Essay:
The Beloved sprays the new bees with sugar water to give them a snack so they won't sting us all when Thomas transfers them to The Ark.
Thomas empties the 3 pounds of bees into the hive. This is not a delicate process. It involves much banging to get the bees to come out. Prior to this, the small container housing the queen is stapled into the hive. If she's not in there first, there would be no reason for the others to stay.
When most of the bees have been transferred, The Beloved puts the top slats back in place. He uses a brush to gently sweep any Bees In Peril out of the way.
To make sure all the stragglers make it into their new home, the case is left in easy reach of the hive entrance.
Thomas encourages them to come inside by spraying some sugar water on the landing pad in front of the entrance.
These are Italian bees. If you look closely, you can tell that they're all wearing wee sun glasses. They also drive Vespas.
The interior of the hive with some sugar water for food (it supplements their diet of nectar when flowers aren't in bloom). You can see all the bees clumped around the queen's container which is closed with a plug made of sugar. Once they eat their way through the sugar plug, the queen can get out and start ordering them around.
Thomas's hive has a plexiglass viewing window covered with a wooden shutter. This lets him see what the bees are doing without disturbing them too much. The window is pretty reflective, so the grass you see is on the ground. As is my foot. But I think you can also see the bees clumping together in there.
Caio, bees.
After a day of Bee Wrangling, we wanted a light supper. I, as per usual on Sunday evenings, was not feeling overly motivated to stand and Stir an Item, so I came up with a very simple baked egg dish, added a few Mexican flavors, and served it with flour tortillas. And it pretty much took care of itself while I was in the shower getting de-beed. As with lots of simple ideas, variations are only limited by your palate and imagination.
For baked egg perfection, add cheese now.
Baked Eggs
- 1 14.5 oz (or close) can of diced tomatoes (I had Muir Glen Organics)
- kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- ground cumin and Mexican oregano, to taste
- some of your favorite hot sauce–my current smoky favorite is Virginia Gentleman Bourbon Chipotle Hot Sauce–to taste
- juice of one lime
- 4 large eggs
- a little salt and pepper for sprinkling on the eggs
- shredded pepper jack cheese
Dump the can of tomatoes directly in an oven safe, shallow dish. Add salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, hot sauce and lime juice, to taste. Stir it all up, right in the dish.
Crack 4 eggs onto the top of the tomatoes. You can try to make little wells in the tomatoes, but that works better if you make this in individual ramekins–which you could certainly do.
Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the top of your eggs. Bake in the center of the oven until set on the edges but still runny and jiggly in the center, about 25 minutes or so.
Sprinkle on some cheese and bake for another 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted and the eggs are as set as you like them. If you want to brown the cheese, you can run a torch over this or put it under the broiler for another minute or so.
And that's really it. Serve with tortillas or with whatever strikes your fancy. I really loved the lime-tomato combination. It was very bright and spring-like. Should you feel so inclined, this would be perfect as a part of an Easter brunch.
I am More Than looking forward to making this same dish, but with homemade corned beef hash (made with home-corned beef, thankyouverymuch) as the base. Mmmm. Spanish rice would be an amazing base for this as well. Or stick with tomatoes but go Italian. Or Moroccan. Or Indian. Oooh–how about starting with a base of curried chick peas and potatoes?! However you make them, make them. Baked eggs Rock.
Purchase here to help feed the kittens.

Gimme an 'F': Country Joe McDonald knows what's worth fighting for.
Free Radical
Country Joe McDonald still leans left
By Greg Cahill
There's a pungent whiff of '60s counterculture emanating from Country Joe McDonald's website (www.countryjoe.com)--and this Berkeley-based hippie-era rock icon isn't apologizing for any of it. Click on over to Country Joe's Place, as the site is called, and catch the latest "news flashes and acid flashes"; read a transcript of Joe's testimony at the infamous 1970 Chicago Seven trial; find a link to the Rag Baby e-zine. Or drop a little spare change.
This cyber bazaar offers everything from Avalon Ballroom psychedelic poster art to imported Italian-vinyl pressings of the 1967 Country Joe and the Fish album Electric Music for the Mind and Body to Country Joe's own 1987 Honda Accord LX, the one with the GIMEANF license plates.
If you're still not feeling the vibe, consider that McDonald--who is headed to Hanoi, Vietnam, on June 26, where he will be a recipient (along with Bob Dylan and Joan Baez) at the World Peace Music Awards--is reuniting most of the original band for an upcoming show at the Sebastopol Community Center. (Barry "the Fish" Melton is sitting this one out.)
During a phone interview from his Berkeley home, the 62-year-old McDonald sounds slightly, uh, stoned, but enthusiastic about politics and especially the prospect of reuniting with his former band mates. "I've played with a lot of guys over the years," he says, "but to get musicians together who can make the '60s stuff come alive and breathe has proved just about impossible."
These days, McDonald's own musical tastes run further afield than the acid rock that launched his career. Musically speaking, he's come a long way since his appearance in the 1970 film Woodstock, which captured McDonald--a Navy veteran and prominent antiwar protester--delivering the famous Fish cheer for which he is so closely identified ("Gimme an F. Gimme a U. Gimme a C. Gimme a K. What's that spell? What's that spell?").
His 21 solo albums run the gamut from folk to blues to art music. They include the acclaimed 1969 album Thinking of Woody Guthrie, which showcased his talent as a folk interpreter; Superstitious Blues, a strong 1991 set of folk and country blues that featured Jerry Garcia on several tracks; 1995's Vietnam Experience, a dozen powerful antiwar songs, including a new rendition of his "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag"; and 1996's ambitious album Carry On, which includes a four-song cycle devoted to nurse Florence Nightingale.
Most recently, he has collaborated with bio-acoustic specialist Bernie Krause, a pioneering electronic musician now living in Sonoma County, to blend acoustic guitar and harmonica instrumentals with the sounds of nature for an upcoming album of meditative tracks titled Natural Imperfections. McDonald's commitment to his counterculture ideals is the unifying theme in all these projects.
"I grew up in a family that held strong beliefs in peace and love and working together, so it was pretty easy for me to adapt to the '60s goals," he says, noting that his parents were left-wing activists during his childhood in Washington, D.C. "My mother later became politically active in Berkeley and my father was involved in unions. Others grew up with those same influences but later went over to the dark side, but I do what I do because it keeps me sane. I play music for myself, always have, though I enjoy it if the audience appreciates it, too. And I enjoy doing service for the community. It keeps me centered and I have no plans to change."
Contrary to his image, however, McDonald is not the kind of person who attends demonstrations or carries picket signs. "But as people can see from my website," he explains, "I have a wide variety of causes that I support, especially veterans and healthcare workers."
Another cause is gay rights, especially same-sex marriage. "Coming down on same-sex marriage will certainly make us look like the Taliban, won't it?" he ponders. "I mean, we're in this funny historical place right now in that we're waging war against the Taliban, and yet we have our own uprising right here among people who don't quite fit the mold."
That notion excites a machine-gun burst of laughter from McDonald and the conversation turns back to his used car, which was stolen and recovered last month after San Francisco Chronicle columnist Leah Garchik took up his cause. "The adventures of my Honda Accord, yeah," he muses. "Eventually it will get sold--maybe I ought to lower the price."
Will he consider throwing the personalized license plates into the deal? "I'm trying to hold on to those license plates," he says thoughtfully. "I think that those license plates are going to be pretty valuable someday. . . ."
The Country Joe Band perform Saturday, April 17, at the Sebastopol Community Center, 390 Morris St., Sebastopol. 8pm. $15-$20. 707.829.7067.

When I rang The Vinyl Adventure to order to order a new tone arm cable I was disappointed to learn that it might take some weeks for the cable to arrive. As my previous cable had failed and I had visitors the following day, I asked David Brook if he could lend me a cable until the new one came. He said that he would 'put something in the post'. I had no idea at this stage what the cable might be, but DB was as good as his word and the loan cable arrived the following day.
It came in very unprepossessing packaging but when I opened the packet and took the cable out it looked interesting (better than I expected) with very good quality RCA phono plugs and a nice metal bodied right angle DIN plug to go into my SME Model V. The cable itself was very well constructed using pure silver cores and with an attractive black nylon sheath to keep the twin cables together. I plugged it in and played it for a few hours as background music to give the cable a chance to settle in before doing any serious listening.
For the listening sessions I used three records. The first was a lovely Decca digital recording of Poulenc Piano music from 1987 with Pascal Roge. The second was the Syd Lawrence Orchestra on a record produced by Chasing the Dragon from 2014, recorded at Air Studios in Hampstead. The final disc was another Chandos big band recording this time of the Don Lusher Big Band from 1979 a very good analogue recording.
I was pleasantly surprised by the listening sessions. After a few hours of use the Vinyl Adventure Corvette cable really began to sing. The Poulenc Piano recording sounded beautifully clear and rounded. The sound was very full with thunderous bass from the left hand and lovely shimmering highs in the treble without a trace of hardness. Leading edges of noted were very precise as was the spacial presentation and imaging. Rhythms were beautifully pointed and the sound had both delicacy and weight when the music demanded.
The Syd Lawrence record was very satisfying with excellent detail and real power. No matter how big the climaxes, the Corvette handled them with aplomb. In recent times this direct cut record has become something of a reference disc and I have never heard it better than it sound with the Vinyl Adventure cable in my system. The Don Lusher recording was presented very well indeed with great presence and detail but with no edge to the sound whatsoever but bags of detail and when required generous quantities of raw power. Dynamics were impressive on all recordings. Subsequent listening sessions with vocal recording were equally satisfying and best of all for me was the price.
With prices from £94.95, this cable represents very good value making my normal cable, at 3 times its price, sound rather ordinary. I must say that I am not normally a fan of silver cables which can sound a tad bright for my taste. Perhaps the biggest compliment I can pay therefore is that I would not have known that it was silver from listening had DB not told me. All in all The Corvette tonearm cable provided a thoroughly enjoyable listen. Buy with confidence.

My real name is David Calder and I was given the nickname caldini over ten years ago while watching an Italy international football match. I have been contributing to OpenStreetMap since November 2009 after hearing about it on the excellent Bike Show. I think OSM can be an excellent resource for cyclists and organisations working for cyclists.
I want to make Watford as up-to-date as possible and map all the cycle facilities so that OSM can be used as a resource by Spokes cycling group to campaign for better facilities and promote cycling to the public.
In the past I have used a Garmin Edge 705 for recording GPS tracks. This works great on long distance rides on my bike.
In dense town centres I prefer to walk but the track that gets recorded can be all over the place due to the tall buildings so I use the following method for recording short, straight roads:
1. Turn on the GPS and wait for it to get a good fix.
2. Walk to the first junction.
3. Make sure there is still a good reception.
4. Start the timer and stand in the same spot for about 5 seconds.
5. Stop the timer.
6. Walk to the next junction and repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.
The GPS will fill the gap in between the two junctions with a straight line. It can only be used for recording straight roads, and perhaps the shapes of buildings. It would be useless for mapping curved roads, so don't try it.
I used GPSBabel to convert the tcx history file to gpx and then import it into OSM and edit it using Potlatch.
Places I have mapped
- A few bike friendly inter-city roads in Spain (not so easy to find!)
- Some residential streets in Antequera, Spain
- Bits of Leeswood, Wales that have since been improved upon by Chris Morley
- Improvements to Watford using Bing
This is me on OSM.

The Morning After From Steve:
The morning after the broadcast, I am feeling much better but wanted to put down my version of what happened in this channel. After being impressed at the depth of information coming through the Keeper of Time in his last channel, Beacons of Light Nov 2012, I had prepared for a difficult second part of his base teachings by staying in my own little corner of the room. I also didn't want to infect everyone with my new cold!
The Time Keeper told me that when humans reach new levels the first vision is the most difficult. He was aware of that, not sure if this message could yet be fully understood. Since I was feeling a bit guilt about having a bad cold and not being the best translator for such an important message, I was very somber when I entered the channel. The next thing I know, Elrah is in and talking away and making everyone laugh when he notifies me that we are going to stand up. I said no! We are not set up for that and I'm dizzy. He looked around the room and said "watch me and I got ya." And in the next moment the cameras all re-positioned to get what they could as I had stepped off the stage and out of the lighting. That, it turns out, was for me personally. Elrah is the closest to me and before the Keeper of Time could come in he had to come in and rejuvenate me a bit. He told me he was just filling me with light. I was in jet lag and at the beginning of a bad cold Elrah doesn't get to interact with a live audience that much and he is loving pretending to be the human. He is really looking forward to letting his hair down at the 12-12-12 and the information he is bringing in on the Direct Light Series is awesome.
I will say that the agreement we have between us also has it's challenges. He wants to come through me when I am not in channel. The other day in a hotel in Amsterdam he answered the person who brought room service. It would not have been so bad but that young woman already knew me for many years. I always feel him and all of the group on my shoulder all the time but they have kept what I call a confortable distance. Elrah could care less about a comfortable distance and he is close enough to me that he knows I trust him implicitly. Now you see my conflict, am I to stay with my BS (Belief Systems) or let him express. Let's just say that so far my wife is smiling and we are already talking about rearranging the stage to make room for Elrah to stand.
Big hugs
Smile your way Home

This necessary and thought-provoking study brings together the organisational side of the world of the arts and the understanding of the many functions art fulfi lls in our culture. The author sets out to establish how the organisation of art worlds serves the functioning of the arts in society. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which presents a comparative study of approaches to the art world as practiced by Dickie, Becker, Bourdieu, Heinich, and Luhmann, among others. The second part focuses on the philosphical debates concerning 'aesthetic experience'. Besides Kant, scholars such as Gadamer, Foster, Shustermann, Schaeffer and Carroll come to the fore. In the third part, the author traces the consequences of these theoretical approaches for the organization of art world practices.

How do I activate my Firstchoice Pay MasterCard®?
You can get started immediately after your successful registration and application for the Firstchoice Pay card, and simply wait for the delivery of the card by mail. It is worth noting that delivery by international mail can take up to 10 days in major cities, while it may take several weeks to send the card to the upcountry.
So, a few weeks later, you will have already managed to get some payments from companies. Then, you find a letter with a new embossed Firstchoice Pay MasterCard® card in the mailbox.
Now you need to activate the Firstchoice Pay card. This can be done in two ways: by calling the phone number indicated in the letter or at the Firstchoice Pay website in your personal online account. To do this, you must log in to your account using the email and password specified upon registration. Click on the Activate button.
You must then enter the card number (16 digits on the front side of the card you received), to create a 4-digit PIN code (a secret code that is required for withdrawing cash from ATMs or purchasing through the terminal in stores). Put a tick in front of the option «I agree with …» and click on the Activate button.
After that, the message with your confirmation of a successful application will appear. A confirmation e-mail about your Firstchoice Pay card activation will also be sent to the e-mail you specified upon registration.
You can check the balance of the Firstchoice Pay card in your personal account. The balance appears at the top of the page under the menu bar. You can also see the transaction history and check your receipt of funds in the menu. Please note that the balance on the card is updated instantly after receiving money or making transactions (withdrawal, payment or transfer to another card), but the transaction history only updates every 6 hours. One of the main advantages of the Firstchoice Pay card is the ability to transfer funds to other cards. This function is available in the account menu: Pay >> Make a payment. You can change your PIN code, password, or profile data in the settings at any time.
Why do I need to activate my card? — It is necessary to exclude the possibility of access to the card by anyone other than the owner when it is received.
As you can see, the Firstchoice Pay card activation is very simple. At that point, you can actively manage your earnings and work more effectively towards your future.

A Lesson for Ethics in Law Enforcement
Picture this: a police officer walks into a store and grabs a coffee, goes to pay for it and the owner tells him that it's on the house (free). The officer's department policy dictates that there is to be no acceptance of any gratuities, regardless of scale or cost. However, the department's policy also notes that beverages are an acceptable gratuity so as long as they are also provided to the general public. In the situation, if the officer does not accept the offer of a free beverage, he may possibly upset or embarrass the owner. What does the officer do?
Individuals in criminal justice are faced with ethical decisions every day. Police officers on the street may be offered favors for increased services or protections. Correction officers are asked daily for favors by inmates, ones not part of typical protocol or procedure. Ethics is the foundation of the criminal justice field, and the personal determination of right and wrong is a crucial part of officer code.
The ethical background of the officer— whether religious, natural, or cultural—influences all or decisions. However, issues of ethics are not ever as simple as right and wrong: they are often much more complex. The American Psychological Association includes six principles within its guidelines for the ethical decision-making process competence; integrity; professional and scientific responsibility; respect for people's rights and dignity; concern for others' welfare; and social responsibility.
The officer code of ethics in criminal justice has many variations. The International Association of Chiefs of Police's (IACP) ethical oath is as follows: "On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will uphold the constitution of my community and the agency I serve."
As you can see, there are similar properties to both the IACP and the APA code of ethics, including: integrity, responsibility, and social welfare.
Now, go back to our beginning situation. The police officer could accept the beverage, but in order to keep to code, beverages would also have to be offered to the general public. The officer finds out that the owner is only offering the coffee to him for free—not to others. The officer now has to make a decision whether to take the coffee or not. The officer is faced with an ethical issue, a moral dilemma. All in all, there is no correct answer. If you were the officer, would you take the beverage?

You can save money that you might end up spending on repairs by properly maintaining and a regular check of you vehicle. Specially when the vehicle has achieved great mileage and is old. To have that peace of mind and increase vehicle's longevity, there are different ways and below are few tips to help in getting most out of your investment.
- Regular Check on Tires: To know how suspension and steering is performing, have a check on your tire wear. A shoulder wear or excessive edge indicates that maintenance is needed. Check regularly for tire pressure, spare parts as tires might get a premature wear. Conduct an inspection on side wall and tread areas to find any irregularities in wear or unevenly placed parts can cause damage to your vehicle.
- Check for Brakes Frequently: Have a thorough check of shoes, pads, rotors, fittings, calipers, parking brake and brake hardware. If squeal is found in brakes then replace it immediately.
- Check on Fluid Levels at Times: You need to change and replenish engine oil when needed. Check for lubricants and vehicle fluids and check them at regular intervals. If found dirty fluids, it will damage your vehicle's engine.
- Check for Hoses, Engine Belts, and Fuel Filter: Preventing a breakdown or a serious damage on engine by a measure of replacing hoses and belts at regular recommended intervals is a must as a drive belt alone can supply power to many accessories of engine and also hoses are found to carry fluids vital to your vehicle under heavy pressure.
- Change Air Filter: Protecting vehicle's engine from contaminants in done by the air filters. If there is no sufficient air flow to the engine, it effects the performance and will also result in fuel consumption to greater extent. An air filter helps in easy flow of air free of dirt for better performance and longer life.
- Check for Battery and it's Performance: Critical part of the vehicle is the battery which helps in start up, running of ac and other accessories. If you find a corroded, cracked or bulged terminals, it's a clear indication that the battery has reached its extreme condition and has to be checked or replaced. Battery life is limited, it has to be tested and replaced when necessary.
- Check Wiper Blades: If wiper blades are worn out then it affects the ability to see vehicles and road in front of you making the driving difficult. It is better to opt for all season wiper blades which helps in smooth operation and greater visibility. These blades are reliable, durable and gives strong performance.

Life lately, avoiding the mess
Our house looks a lit like this at the moment. We've been living life in the kitchen and our bedroom, with the odd afternoon in the study, and I'm missing my lounge and dining room! We've been eating on a fold-up camping table. It will be so worth it in the end, though. Trout left me for Switzerland a few days ago, but he gets back this evening (yay!) and for once I've actually made the most of this time to myself! Usually I have all these plans and just end up being a crazy cat lady, scrolling through Instagram. Not going to lie, there was some (quite a bit) of scrolling – but plenty of other good things, too.
Dinner in bed, in my pyjamas, catching up on YouTube videos with Ras, and a love letter left from Trout *heart emoji face*.
I essentially spent a lot of time in bed with Ras. And sweets.
Yesterday I took the train to Hastings for the day. I haven't been for such a long time, maybe 15 years, so I thought I'd pop down for a catch up. I arrived around 1ish and headed straight to the True Crime Museum – I was so happy when I spotted it on a map a few hours before I left! It was really good – possibly even better than the Black Museum in London. Maybe. I had planned on going to the Jerwood Gallery too, but ran out of time. Saving that for my next visit!
After the museum, and a wander through town, I met up with my parents and the dogs, and it was one of the best afternoons I've had in a long time. Spending time with my family is so important to me, and I try to see them at least once a month. We had some lunch on the seafront (well, I had a belated lunch at 3pm and my parents had tea & cake and mostly tried to stop the dogs knocking everything over), walked through the Old Town and then headed down to the shore to introduce the boys to the sea. It was their first time and they were terrified. Of the stones, the people, the seagulls, the sea. They did enjoy an off-lead runaround, which didn't last long after they ate someone's sandwiches. Sorry about that!
And finally, when you wake up alone on a Sunday morning, make sure you have a good breakfast to look forward to. Hope you've had a great start to the week!

Microservices is often quoted as an architectural style for software development as a variant derived from the foundations of Service Oriented Architecture(SOA). However, the primary reason for embracing this approach is to encourage lean thinking in software development. The emphasis is on building a set of business capabilities that are self-contained, autonomous and loosely coupled. Another desirable aspect of this approach is to have independent and manageable lifecycles with enterprises embarking on choices related to DevOps and cloud. The important point to take note is that principles learned from Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) are still relevant with this approach regardless of size and scale of business operations.
Some of the principles to consider while designing microservices are "service granularity" and "loose coupling". Service granularity defines the scope of the business functionality and structure of the message. Loose coupling defines the degree of independence practicable between two interconnecting components in Microservices architectural style. It's important to address the following questions or concerns below to achieve service granularity:
- Does the application address a single business operation or fulfill multiple functions without adding design complexity?
- Any special skills required in development efforts?
- Are industry standards followed in building Microservices development?
Some of the standards and protocols to consider are discussed in the next section.
Although there is no agreed upon standard to enable a microservices approach, its desirable to use lightweight protocols like SOAP, REST or messaging protocols. While SOAP and REST rely primarily on HTTP/HTTPS as transport, messaging protocols could follow standards such as JMS and AMQP specifications. Other development patterns like Webhooks, Non-blocking callback or event driven approaches can blend in seamlessly with Microservices architectural style.
In this blog, I'm going to detail the steps for building an application using Apache Camel in Talend ESB studio and deploy it as a Microservice. The example showcases an order processing system where a batch of orders received in a file are split into individual orders and published to a queue. The consumer receives the orders and load balances them across multiple console outputs. The scenario chosen demonstrates the principles of service granularity and loose coupling very well in addition to showcasing the pattern commonly used in real-time transaction processing systems.
Talend's ESB studio uses Spring boot features to export and deploy applications as independent and self-managed services. The services built can be deployed as independent jar files or Apache Karaf runtime engines by building Karaf Archive (kar) files.
- If you haven't downloaded Talend ESB studio you can grab a trial of it here
- Have Active MQ installed or use the Included Active MQ in Talend ESB
- Disabled offline setting in Studio preferences as given under Maven as shown below. This will help in getting essential libraries to build if required from the internet. Enabling this feature would allow any dependencies to be resolved automatically while building solutions but for the example we won't need it.
Order Service
The first microservice to build is the order service. This microservice will listen to a JMS queue and load balance the messages in a round-robin fashion. After consuming messages off the queue, the service will display them on the log console. The first step is to create a route as described below in Figure 2 and name it "ConsumeAndProcess".
We are going to be working with cMQConnectionFactory, cJMS, cLoadBalancer which are Talend components that we'll use to interact with Message Brokers. As mentioned earlier, our plan is to log the messages received so we'll use the cLog component for this process. When we finish this example our microservice will look similar to this:
The first thing we'll need to do is Configure the cMQConnectionFactory component to use "ActiveMQ" as the broker and provide the Broker URI. After dropping the component on the canvas I'll modify the settings in the component viewer. It should look like the following described in Figure 4.
Next we need to configure the JMS receiver component (cJMS) by setting the endpoint type as "queue" and queue name under "destination" as follows. Also, specify the ConnectionFactory to be the cMQConnectionFactory configured in the previous step. The details posted in Figure 5 below.
Once we've configured the cJMS component we need to add a cLoadBalancer. There are a number of load balancing strategies available within this component but for today's example Round Robin will work perfectly.
To finish off this example we just need to add the cLog components to the canvas and configure the trace level.
By right clicking on the route that we created as shown below in Figure 8. We can start the build process.
Select the build option to "ESB Microservice (Spring Boot)" and click "Finish" to create jar file as given below here:
The jar file built can be deployed as an independent Microservice. The jar file can be executed as an independent self-contained service or Java process as shown below in Figure 10. The command to run the container is given below. You'll notice the jar takes its name from the route name.
By default, the monitoring port is set as 8605. However, this can be overridden by using the example below:
java -jar AuditService_0.1.jar --server.port=50000
The Microservices can also be exported as zip files providing scripts like *.bat in Windows server environment and *.sh files in Linux/Unix environments to start the Microservice. The build option has been demonstrated in Figure 10 below.
Microservices rapidly enable build and deploy applications with faster feedback loops. The Microservices architecture style also enforces modularity lending it to continuous delivery practices which is ideal for business-driven development and cloud application architectures. Through this example we've demonstrated just how easy it is to build microservices using Talend's ESB studio. If this is something you're interested in exploring more or have any questions let me know!

Foibles are all in the eye of the beholder
IT seems can be a bit of hard work. Or at least that's what I have heard. I know, right? Incredible.
And it was from another woman, this nasty tidbit titbit came. Aghast. What about the sisterhood?
Immediately, upon taking possession of this little nugget of insight, I took exception. Terrible exception. I'm not hard work. Surely.
I was affronted. Offended. Hurt. Cranky. Really cranky. But then, as that all wore off, my confidence rekindled and I started to see this for what it was.
Then my little emotional panel beater started to right the wrongs. You see, hard work, like beauty, is all in the eye of the beholder.
I'm no saint (God knows, that is the truth). I'm not the perfect mother, lover, daughter, sister, friend.
I over-think, over-react, over-analyse. I pontificate, deliberate and catastrophise.
And while (I'd like to think) my moral compass is pretty well calibrated, I'm not the last bastion of wholesome values and goodness.
At one time or another, that's something we are all guilty of. Yes. We can all be hard work from time to time.
But the clincher - as always - is in the context.
It's basic physics. Newton's law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When emotionally poked, prodded and provoked, there should be no surprise when the reaction is not all rose cologne and sauvignon blanc - especially when there is a polar divide in moral orientation.
But sadly, to the misinformed, the delusional and the plain skanky, it's not so much a surprise as a scoff and a lack of belief that their bad behaviour is not being accepted, much less well received.
To them, I don't apologise. If that makes me - and those of you who relate - hard work, then the rest can suck it up.
You don't, won't, and will never get it. Because what makes us hard work makes us worth the effort - dare I say, fabulous even.
And there's just no telling what the accusation of such says about those intent on delivering it.

Missing democracy! When found, bring it back to youth!
October 22, 2012
Last week some AEGEEans participated in the first World Forum for Democracy. In his opening speech of Jean Claude Mignon, president of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe described it as the Davos of Democracy. It was preceded by the
Youth Assembly, where nearly 150 young people (Europe and beyond) discussed on the topic "Youth and Democracy, the young generation sacrificed?" for three days. With such a topic, the Youth Assembly held sessions and worked hard to share opinions and reach an agreement on one final document, which can be found here. This document was supposed to be presented to the World Forum, but the previous night they got noticed that this was some "misunderstanding" and that the young people were "not required" to address the plenary at the Opening Ceremony.
On October 8th, the young representatives went to attend the Opening Ceremony, willing to do everything possible to address the World Forum on behalf of the young people of Europe and the World. First obstacle, not all the young delegates were allowed to come into the hemicycle, the other ones had to follow the streaming in a "video room". After that, the delegates went to find Mr. Mignon to ask for a change and to be finally allowed to speak. He explained he was not responsible deciding on who should speak there and that he wasn't authorized to talk there even as a parliamentary representative.
Amandine from AEGEE, Costas from PAFOS, and Mr Connarty (a member of the UK parliament who supports youth issues) tried again, this time talking with the Liaison Office of the Secretary General (Mr Jagland's). The fact that young people did not want to play the bureaucracy game of meeting in an office while the session was about to start (to sweep the issue under the rug) made them react quite aggressively and the security staff threatened to get our representatives out. In the end things calmed down but we were told that they would not grant us even 2 minutes. Our only hope to address the forum was if someone gave us part of their time, and that we should ask Mr Mignon to let us speak. The official reason was lack of time. Guess what? The plenary started 20 minutes late, 10 speeches worth.
Therefore the young representatives in the hemicycle decided that after the second speaker, during the opening session, they will put tape on their mouths, stand up and hold hands.
They didn't say anything or make any noise, they just stood to denounce the silencing of youth voice.
The other action the "action group" worked on was distributing flyers : "Missing democracy, when found, please bring it back to youth" was the message. Even when they were not forcing people to take them, immediately a security guy started to collect them all, even from the people that accepted them. He even started chasing one of the youth delegates to tell her to sit down and took all of her papers so she could not distribute them anymore. The security was already surrounding the youth delegation from the moment when they put the tape on their mouths.
Finally it was Mr Mignon who offered 2 minutes of his time of speech so we could be heard. Unfortunately, it was after the closing of the opening plenary and after a break, so most of the media had already left and the room was half empty. In the afternoon, Jean Claude Mignon invited us to his office for one hour so we could talk with him, young members gave him some feedback on what they thought about the Youth Assembly.
On the following days of the World Forum, even though still some difficulties were faced, good networking could be done, and the message of the Youth Assembly was carried out in
the different panels organized.

|"Learning from Experience ... Aboriginal Programs in the Resource Industries"
Aboriginal Population in Alberta
In the course of the Aboriginal Programs Project, a number of people asked for more information and clarification on "who are Aboriginal peoples". This component of the website was developed as a response to this question and provides an overview of the Aboriginal population in Alberta and a summary of key demographic trends. It is intended to provide useful information that helps industry put Aboriginal programs and practices into a wider context with regard to existing demographics, how the Aboriginal population is changing and the implications this has for developing successful initiatives.
The term "Aboriginal people" includes the Indian, Inuit and Metis peoples of Canada. The Aboriginal population is growing. In 1996, people reporting Aboriginal ancestry represented 3.8% of Canada's total population. In 2001, there were just over 1.3 million reporting some Aboriginal ancestry – accounting for 4.4% of the total population.
In 2001, the number of Albertans reporting Aboriginal ancestry was 199,015, which represented 6.7% of the total Alberta population. This consisted of Indians (84,990), Métis (66,060), Inuit (1,090), Aboriginal Not Specified (4,080) and people who reported Aboriginal ancestry but did not self-identify as Aboriginal in the census (42,795).
While people reporting Aboriginal ancestry make up 6.7% of Alberta's population, this number is much higher in the northern and western areas of the province. In northwest Alberta, the Aboriginal share of the population is 38%, the northeast ranges from 15 to 21% Aboriginal and western portions range from 7 to 18% Aboriginal. The Aboriginal share of the population is even greater in northern Saskatchewan (83%), Nunavut (76 to 90%) and the Northwest Territories (43%).
The following documents provide access to demographic and socio-economic information on the Aboriginal population in Alberta.

The approach of some personal mile-markers has prompted me to think about feminism, equality, law and social change. And, I am more convinced than ever, as I approach my 40th birthday, that feminism remains relevant, both for me and for the younger woman lawyers coming up behind me.
I'm approaching some milestones this year. My 40th birthday is approaching at the end of the summer, and my fifteen year law school reunion is coming then too, both of which signal that I'm no longer a "young lawyer", by any stretch of the imagination. I'm now leaving behind unequivocally the status of being part of the "new generation" of lawyers, with gratitude, and without hesitation. And, at the same time, my children are on the cusp of entering their teens.
I graduated from university at 20, and I started law school, grad school, and practice young. I spent over a decade as the youngest person in rooms filled mostly with baby boomers. It's been a good vantage point to see how one cultural form shifts into another, culturally, socially, and legally. This position was an optimal place, for example, for me to do work as a legal researcher: it positioned me to do work for practitioners not familiar with how to do research using online databases. And it's a vantage point from which I have had the privilege of teaching millennial law students since 2006. Being a "young" woman and "young" lawyer is a position of some disadvantage professionally in a work sector that privileges seniority, but youth confers certain social advantages in a patriarchal society that obsesses about youth in women, and in which older women, with each passing birthday, are increasingly invisible.
My fortieth is a mile-marker for me but it's also a personal instance of a larger social trend. I'm on the "shoulder", right between Gen-X and the millennials. I'm one drop in a cultural wave. This year, the year I turn 40, is the moment at which the first wave of millennials is turning 40. The "generational" literature about different demographics in the workplace is about to become dated. The "younger" group is coming of age, or more precisely, coming into middle age and it won't accept being told it's too young, or too inexperienced, or "just not ready" anymore.
Millennials are a generation seemingly perpetually infantilized, who have faced disproportionate unemployment and underemployment, and have been slow to launch. The generation has been touted in some senses as the children of the future, the members of a more enlightened, egalitarian age.
As I approach 40, I am more convinced than ever that feminism is relevant, and, if it's relevant to me, it's relevant to those coming up behind me. This observation is particularly timely at a political moment when Hillary Clinton is running for US President, and this momentous campaign is being met dismissively by many younger women who don't see the value in avowedly feminist advocacy or activism, anymore.
Those of us on the "shoulders" of a new generation are like canaries in a coal mine – we are signifiers of trends to come. With the exception of a broader (and welcome) acceptance of LGBT rights, the changes I have seen across my adult life and legal career tend much more towards the technological than the cultural. I have seen technological advance in my practice, from a time when I observed a group of lawyers at a PD session taking handwritten notes about how to log on to "the world wide web" to our present tense of internet connectivity being indispensable for competent legal practice. However, I have not seen an overall successful conclusion to the good work being done by many over decades to ensure family-friendly workplace policies, equitable maternity and parental leave benefits, and workplaces free of assault and harassment widely available across the legal profession. Yes, advocacy and work are being undertaken, but these problems have not been solved.
Feminism is a multi-stranded thing, and there are lots of feminisms. However, whatever particular perspective you might have on feminism, a shared view of all feminist thought is that gender is relevant, and that what follows from this is an imperative for action to ensure inequalities produced around gender are eroded and eradicated. Feminist writing has given me a language to understand how my own particular experiences are part of larger patterns. It's given me the opportunity to laugh about "mansplaining." and to see discrimination and sexual harassment for what they are. It gives me a community of allies, whether in a bookstore or simply a set of hashtags, and a vocabulary and set of imperatives for social and legal change. Feminism makes me feel angry, and it makes me feel good. It helps me not to feel alone.
So, ultimately, as I approach my own personal mid-life milestones, I see relatively little social and cultural change in the workplace from the space I entered in my early 20s. I see myself as a social participant increasingly discriminated against. Turning 40 means I've been negotiating with patriarchal boundaries and gender norms for a long time now, and it means I've seen my friends go through these negotiations too. I've been around long enough to see the disproportionate attrition of women play out in the legal profession amongst my peers and colleagues. It means I've been around the block long enough to have been discriminated against, sexually harassed, and variously shamed for my "shrill" voice and clothing. I've been told to "smile" a thousand times, and counseled to keep the cleavage hidden and the heels high, and I've been advised to wear my hair up to look smarter. It means I've been working long enough to have received sidelong disapproving glances and street harassment and unwanted advances from clients. I've been at the table long enough to have received lots of advice about the advantages of sending children to boarding school and how it can really alleviate the need for unattainable work-life balance. I don't identify as a victim or survivor of these things. I identify as a lawyer. I identify as an activist. I identify as a mother. And, I identify as feminist.

I love it when books are free! When Becky Wade's latest, Then Came You: A Bradford Sisters novella came up I knew I had to download and check it out. Oh I'm so glad I did, and I'm glad it came out before the series started. Started reading True To You (book one in series) today and love it. But, back to the story at hand….
Download on your kindle for free today here!
About the Book
A leather-bound journal. A single father. A woman in pursuit of freedom.
Garner Bradford, heir to the troubled Bradford Shipping empire, doesn't know much about babies. But he's going to have to learn fast because he's just become a single father to his newborn daughter. As he confesses through his journal entries, he's not entirely sure how to keep a newborn alive, whether or not he'll ever patch together his shattered heart, or how to forgive himself for his mistakes.
Career girl Kathleen Burke is wholly uninterested in settling down. She has big dreams, and none of them include Garner and his small hometown in Washington State. Yet she can't seem to get her handsome boss out of her head or her heart. There's something extraordinarily tempting about his beautifully sad green eyes. . . .
Told through journal entries, phone conversations, and letters, Then Came You is a unique, heart-stirring romance novella by acclaimed author Becky Wade.
My Perspective
Phew, this novella was fantastic. Read it all at once, as my fingers just wouldn't let go. I thought the letters, journal entries and phone messages way of telling the story was so different, yet perfect for this story. It gave it more pizazz, and really worked. It was such a sweet romance really, once you passed all the turmoil. But it was more than that too.
Garner had to let go of the past and grow before he could begin a new relationship, and that for me was the best part of the story. Seeing him react to the unfortunate events of his life and trying to move on from them. And in the short amount of time that this novella offers, you see great things from Garner. And yes, some swoon worthy moments. But here's the important message – we are human. We make mistakes. And before we can move forward in our lives we need to remember the deal with those things!
I am so excited to see what is in store for this new series!! And I'm glad that this novella was released first so we get a glimpse of the back story before the real stories begin!
About the Author
During her childhood in California, Becky frequently produced homemade plays starring her sisters, friends, and cousins. These plays almost always featured a heroine, a prince, and a love story with a happy ending. She's been a fan of all things romantic ever since.

Mn-1 Chaotic Double Pendulum
To demonstrate a double pendulum with chaotic motion.
- Double pendulum as illustrated
Chaotic Pendulum.
The double pendulum demonstrates the chaotic unpredictable behavour that can occur in the motions of a pair of coupled nonlinear oscillators.
When the oscillations of the two physical pendula, are of small enough angular amplitude for the linear approximation Sin Ø ~ Ø to be well satisfied, there is no chaos and the system can be treated as a pair of coupled linear oscillators with the familiar in-phase and out of phase normal modes (which can be demonstrated first). But for large amplitudes- including motions that go "over the top", ie rotations as well as oscillations- the non linearity results in chaotic motion.
Students can be encouraged to try this demonstration for themselves after the lecture, but with the warning to keep out of the way of the system once it has been set into chaotic motion.

Research note by Mattia Guidi
This book is about how competition policy is enforced in the member states of the European Union, and it is a book focused on a particular feature of competition policy enforcers: Independence. As we know, the EU competition regime is characterized by a centralization of policy-making (at EU level) and by a decentralization of policy-enforcement (exercised jointly by the European Commission and by national competition authorities). The book seeks to explain why politicians in national political systems delegate policy enforcement to bodies on which they have little control, what are their expectations and incentives for doing so, and who gains and who loses from independence. With this aim in mind, the book also critically asks if independence is the right solution in this field, assessing its benefits and costs. The bottom line of the approach followed here is that every time we delegate power to independent agencies we must consider if this makes us, our societies, better off. This has implications for competition policy enforcement, of course, but also for an assessment of the increasing "agencification" that advanced and developing economies have undergone.
This approach reconnects the study of Independent regulatory agencies with an assessment of their democratic legitimacy. As Majone and other scholars have pointed out, the delegation of policy-making powers to bodies that are not accountable to governments, parliaments and voters is intrinsically problematic, unless one can argue that the policy delegated to independent regulatory agencies does not redistribute costs and benefits among social actors, but rather seeks to improve the conditions of everyone in a society. The first question to ask, therefore, is to what extent competition policy aims at economic efficiency and to what extent it carries out an implicit, but significant, redistribution of resources. Although in theory competition policy is about maximizing the general welfare, in practice it entails a substantial redistribution of wealth (in the form of reduction of price distortion, opening up of markets, increased innovation) from some economic actors to others. Therefore, this book does not study competition policy as something uncontested (an efficiency-seeking policy that only experts can deal with), but as a policy on which economic actors mobilize with different preferences, and on which politicians have mixed incentives. An empirical analysis of the causes of independence leads to conclude that regulatory autonomy is indeed more used by those countries that are perceived as less economically efficient.
There is then another aspect of the relationship between independence and democratic legitimacy that this book explores. Independence is extensively used in the regulation of competition policy under the assumption that having a regulator not subject to the electoral incentives that politicians face all the time is beneficial to enforcement. However, this widespread consensus on regulatory independence is in striking contradiction with the limited, partial, mixed evidence in support of it. This book seeks to make this contradiction explicit, and ask if there is a relationship between independence and performance of national competition agencies. The answer to this question, as far as this book is concerned, is negative: no empirical indicator (either indicators of economic performance or experts' ratings) appears to be significantly affected by the agencies' formal independence.
Thus, this book suggests that the consequences and the impact of independence should be constantly considered. No institutional arrangement is set in stone, and the main benchmark in assessing democratic institutions is how they serve the purpose they are made for. In this respect, national competition authorities seem to fall short of the target when it comes to justifying their institutional autonomy from political bodies. Yet, the results of this book must also be read as an invitation not to overestimate the role that institutional independence can play. National competition authorities are small bodies in complex systems, and their impact is not as crucial as the literature has assumed. We should also avoid underestimating the role of national parliaments and governments. Although national governments and parliaments rarely intervene in competition legislation, the competitiveness of a country is shaped by many political acts and decisions that do not fall within the scope of competition policy in its strict sense. Do the results of this book imply that we should re-politicize enforcement this policy field? Not necessarily. But there is little doubt that policy-makers interested in fostering competition policy enforcement must focus on other aspects (competences, procedures, agencies' budgets) rather than on institutional independence alone.

Cop claims Tupac's last words were real to the very end
AUTODIDACT 17 | 5/29/2014, 1:29 p.m.
According to a recent report, a police officer revealed that a mortally wounded Tupac Shakur shouted, "F—k you" at him shortly before dying after being shot multiple times on the night of Sept. 7, 1996.
The 25-year-old artist and Death Row Records President Suge Knight were leaving the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino after Mike Tyson's first round knockout of Bruce Seldon. They led a caravan of vehicles waiting at a red light at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane when a white Cadillac pulled up and sprayed 13 bullets into Knight's BMW, with four hitting Shakur.
The Cadillac sped south down Koval Lane as Knight blew two tires peeling out, making a U-turn on Flamingo Road before ceasing to a halt near the center divider. The vehicles trailing also stopped.
When Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Sergeant Chris Carroll arrived on bicycle and opened the front passenger door, Shakur's limp body "came right out, like he was leaning against the door. After I pulled him out, Suge starts yelling at him, 'Pac! Pac!' … and he just keeps yelling it … and the guy I'm holding is trying to yell back at him," recalled Carroll. "He's sitting up and he's struggling to get the words out, but he can't really do it … and as Suge is yelling 'Pac!,' I look down and realize that this is Tupac Shakur."
Carroll continued, "So I'm asking him, 'Who shot you? What happened? Who did it?' … and he was just kind of ignoring me. He was making eye contact with me here and there, but he's trying to yell at Suge … and I kept asking over and over, 'Who did this? Who shot you?' … and he basically kept ignoring me, then I saw in his face, in his movements, all of a sudden in the snap of a finger, he changed and went from struggling to speak, being non-cooperative, to an 'I'm at peace' type of thing … Just like that.
"He went from fighting to 'I can't do it,' and when he made that transition, he looked at me, and he's looking right in my eyes … and that's when I looked at him and said one more time, 'Who shot you?'
"He looked at me, took a breath to get the words out, opened his mouth, and I thought I was actually going to get some cooperation … and then the words came out: 'F—k you!' After that, he started gurgling and slipping out of consciousness."
Shakur was transported by ambulance to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, where he physically expired six days later. Although 21-year-old Orlando Anderson, with whom Shakur had an altercation earlier at the MGM Grand, was named a suspect, Shakur's murder remains unsolved.
Having retired, Carroll is free to speak about the homicide without concerns of being reprimanded. "It just wasn't time to speak earlier. Now it's been almost 18 years," he said. "There's clearly never going to be a court case on this.
"The second main reason I didn't go public with this before is I didn't want Tupac to be a martyr or hero because he told the cops 'F—k you.' I didn't want to give him that. I didn't want people to say, 'Even when the chips were down, his life on the line, he still said "F—k you," he still wouldn't talk to the police.' I didn't want him to be a hero for that. And now, he's a martyr anyway; he's viewed as a hero anyway. My story, at this point, isn't going to change any of that."
A Shakur-inspired musical, "Holler If Ya Hear Me," is scheduled to start on Broadway June 19, three days after his 43rd physical day anniversary.

More than 275 artworks created on Norwich streets' as Paint Out comes to an end
PUBLISHED: 17:37 25 October 2018 | UPDATED: 17:37 25 October 2018
Copyright Simon Finlay 2018
An event which saw more than 275 pieces of art created on the streets of Norwich has come to an end.
Paint Out Norwich 2018 saw the pieces created by 35 artists in seven spots around the fine city – in just two to four hours.
Awards have been handed out to the artists behind the top 14 pieces of work, which were sponsored by Leathes Prior Solicitors. Prizes were donated by Norwich Art Supplies.
The judges on the night were Dr Giorgia Bottinelli, curator of historic art at Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Sarah Flynn, from Cheffins Art Auctioneers, and artist Tony Robinson, of Art in the Open.
The independent judges had to agree on the overall winner and individual media category winners but could also pick a personal choice.
First prize went to Cheshire artist Rob Pointon, from Crewe, for his oil painting of Westlegate, Changing Skyline. He received a cheque for £500.
While being a seasoned artist, this was Mr Pointon's first Paint Out.
The 36-year-old said: "Paint Out has been a thoroughly life enriching experience for me, it's the first time I have entered the competition and was surprised at the intensity of the five-day competition.
"Having the competition over a number of days meant I had time to settle in to the beautiful city of Norwich and get past the obvious subjects, but more importantly was to gradually settle into a community of like-minded passionate artists, all giving their all for their craft, but at the same time helping and supporting one another. To walk off with a number of prizes including overall winner was the icing on the cake. I look forward to future Paint Out events."
Mr Robinson's personal choice was a painting by Andrew Farmer, of Doncaster, called The Meeting Place, painted on Elm Hill at night. Ms Bottinelli chose Frances Martin, of Norwich, for Peregrine Falcon Circling Wellington – with His Beak, at Upper Close in Norwich Cathedral, while Sarah Flynn's choice was Rob Pointon's Diagonal Light on the Seafood Stalls, at Norwich Market.

Two hundred years of uninterrupted Torah learning – a moment in a time, yet an eternity. This beautifully moving niggun, with its equally powerful lyrics written especially for Yeshivas Mir's Bicentennial Anniversary Dinner, somehow manages to describe the indescribable. It recounts the miraculous saga of Yeshivas Mir and its faithful allegiance to Limud haTorah – beginning with its founding in 1817 in an unknown Polish hamlet with a minyan of talmidim – through the different periods until today, when its very name has become synonymous with immersion in learning bli hefsek, regardless of circumstances.
The song takes you on a journey from the Yeshiva's humble beginnings at the dawn of the age of the great European Yeshivos. The stirring Yiddish chorus, based on Tehillim 119, highlights the secret of the Mir's survival: unrelenting hasmada in the face of all sorts of adversity. The lyrics vividly describe how the Yeshiva triumphed over world wars, devastation by fire, ideological battle of haskallah, financial disaster, and geographic upheaval. Reverently eternalized are the various great leaders who stood at the Mir's helm with heroic mesirus nefesh throughout the generations, guiding their talmidim and supporters who share in the continued success of the Mir until this day and beyond, until the arrival of Moshiach.
This superb production was performed live at the historic Dinner by Baruch Levine and Yisroel Werdyger; it was arranged and conducted by Yisroel Lamm. The music was performed by the Aaron Teitelbaum Orchestra & Productions. It is based on an original tune composed by Yom Tov Ehrlich, with brand new lyrics written by Chunna Herskowitz. Listen, enjoy, and be inspired.
