Last year, I put together a list of professional development ideas for you to do over the summer. I wanted to create a new list for you to consider attending- especially when I am on a conference high after NECTFL!
- AATSP has their national conference this year in Chicago from July 6-9. It is their 99th conference! I attended this conference in DC, and I enjoyed it and learned a lot from the presenters.
- NTPRS is back at San Antonio from July 17-21. I went there many years ago and learned a lot especially from the elementary strand when I was teaching Lower School. I went back when I was teaching Middle School and Upper School and also learned a ton of information. You can read all of my notes to see what a valuable conference this was. If you cannot make it to NTPRS, TPRS Books has workshops all around the country over the summer.
- iFLT is in Denver from July 11-14. This has always been on my list to attend. Laura attended and posted a lot on her blog about this conference.
- TELL Collab is also an awesome conference in Austin from July 24-26. It is a participant driven conference. Here are Amy's notes on the conference!
- We had Sara-Elizabeth visit our school, and we learned so much (and switched to more proficiency based teaching). She has two BaseCamp Musicuentos: June 15-16 in Louisville, Kentucky and July 10-11 in Warwick, Rhode Island. She will also offer the Brave Little Tailor July 31-August 1 in Louisville, Kentucky.
- I learned about LILL (Leadership Initiative for Language Learning) at the ACTFL conference this year, and many people gave it high marks. It is June 27-29 in Skokie, IL which is close to Chicago.
- CARLA institutes also have summer programs. Some are held at the University of Minnesota, but they have some online as well, so you can complete them from any location.
- AIM Language Learning has a 2.5 day Summer Institute for French, Spanish and Mandarin teachers that will be July 5-7, 2017 in Niagara area, Ontario, Canada. It looks fascinating!
- Connecticut Teaching for Proficiency Institute looks phenomenal with Thomas Sauer! It will be held June 26-27 in Stonington, CT.
Also, there are a lot of amazing non foreign language related professional developments to attend.
- ISTE (an instructional technology conference) is being held in San Antonio from June 25-28. This is on my list of conferences that I really want to attend. Many colleagues have been and enjoyed this conference. One of my teacher friends posted about her experience last year at ISTE.
- Also, if you are near Maine, you can go to a conference with Richard of Free Tech 4 Teachers about BYOD. I learn so much from his blog that I am sure you would get a lot out of a face to face conference.
- I was just looking at this awesome CUE Rockstar PD in California! I would sign up today because it looks amazing, and it is in Vista where I had my first teaching job; however, we are on our family vacation that week. If you sign up, let me know how it is!
- I have been to an art teacher institute at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Va. I loved it and loved all of that extra time in the museum. We even got to go behind the scenes and see where they store the art that isn't on display. Here are some other art institutes, but I would encourage you to check your local art museum. The Smithsonian American Art museum has a teaching Humanities through the Arts institute. The NGA has a summer institute on Renaissance art. Many teachers from my school attended the National Portrait Gallery's learning to look institute and learned a lot- one ended up becoming a docent!
- EdCamps are free and held all throughout the year! Last year, the department of education in Maryland hosted subject specific edcamps. I loved the EdCamp Maryland WL, and I met a lot of local teachers which is also fun.
- I loved Ditch Summit over the winter break. Check out Matt Miller's (Ditch That Textbook and former Spanish teacher) list of presentations at the end of his blog posts. Some may be near you!
- I just saw these workshops from the EdTech team. They got really good reviews, and there are locations in many states.
What did I miss? Message me, and I will add your PD to the list.

What Type Of Food Truck Is The Most Popular In Texas?
It's probably not going to be a surprise that Barbeque is the most popular type of food truck in Texas. WorkWise recently did a study and found that yep, BBQ is tops in Texas. I mean in general I'm sure BBQ tops the list for any kind of food not just food trucks. We love our BBQ in Texas.
So, what type of food does your favorite food truck serve? There are so many that I like! I definitely love me some BBQ trucks and some Pizza ones too. Look, they are all awesome. Who doesn't love a good food truck.
Check out the WorkWise website as they also have a map to find out other states and their food preference when it comes to food trucks!

Before Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799 the intricate details about Egyptian hieroglyphs could not be deciphered. Similar was the fate with many ancient texts. But Rongo Rongo is an exception till date. It is a language that has been unearthed from the mysterious Easter Islands. This island is one of the most puzzling locations on Earth. This island is known largely for a series of Moai statues. But the first European visitors to this island faced another puzzle. In 1770 Spanish annexed Easter Island and there was a treaty document signed by captain Gonzalez de Ahedo. When the time came for the island's delegates to sign on the document, the Spanish were bemused to see that the islanders signed in a confusing script which consisted of small pictures consisting of human, plants and animals.
It later turned out that other islanders of Easter Islands could not read this language. Thus it was assumed that the language was solely used by the elders and that bulk of the native population were illiterate. Unfortunately very soon the entire population of this island was wiped out due to the diseases that Europeans brought along with them. Most of the people able to read and write this mysterious language named Rongo Rongo died in the epidemics. In 1860 Easter Islands was visited by a Catholic priest who found strange writings on wooden furniture as well as other wooden objects. But he could not find any native with the ability to translate such writings. There were many huts in the island where such wooden tablets were found. The writings depicted animals unknown to the island. The natives had drawn these with sharp stones.
After some time a Bishop from Tahiti arrived at Easter Islands and to his delight he found a person who knew the Rongo Rongo and was willing to translate it. Everything was going fine, but the Bishop became suspicious when the islander claimed that single pictures bore multiple meanings. The end result of these translations did not make any sense. In about two weeks it was clear that the islander was faking. In 1886 a sailor again tried to decipher the text with the help of an elderly native. The native claimed he could read the language but refused to translate it. When drunk the man translated some parts of the wooden slab. But the sailor could not find any other person to verify the translation. He was also not satisfied over the accuracy of the translation.
Over the years linguists have spend much time trying to decipher the language of Rongo Rongo but they have been unsuccessful so far. So the mystery of Rongo Rongo continues.

Australia is in an unusual position when it comes to international education. Unlike other countries, international education has long been a key element in the nation's prosperity and growth.
It's the country's third largest export after iron ore and coal, and in 2013 was the largest service export.
And it seems more and more countries are figuring out what Australia has known for a while: the revenue generated from international student enrollments can have massive benefits economically.
As a result, the market has become fiercely competitive. Students now have more choice than ever when it comes to studying aboard, forcing universities to re-think their marketing and recruitment strategies.
Speaking at last week's International Student Recruitment and Marketing Conference, Professor Monique Skidmore, Deputy Vice-Chancellor at The University of Queensland, shared that while the industry is seeing a growth in totally mobile global students, the entry of new players has resulted in a decline of international enrollment in major universities worldwide.
"In 2012 five destination countries hosted over one half of totally mobile global students. The US hosted 19 per cent, the UK 11, per cent, France seven per cent and Australia and Germany at six per cent.
But the top five also saw their share of international enrollment decline from 55 per cent in 2000 to 47 per cent in 2012. In our part of the world Australia and Japan are rivaled and will soon be eclipsed by new comers like China, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and New Zealand," she said.
So what strategies can universities use to remain relevant in the wake of new competition?
Professor Skidmore believes it all comes down to brand and capacity building from research excellence and seeking research funding through partnerships with some of the best universities and private organisations in the world.
"In the last decade an emerging key strategy to build and maintain a prominent global position has been through partnerships and consortia. Virtually all the world's top 50 universities are creating several significant university corporate industry partnerships as part of their global strategy," she said.
Despite the importance of partnerships, according to Professor Skidmore this strategy is in its intensification phase now and will globally only last for another five years as a key strategy.
"In five years time most of the large universities will have finished their partnership strategies and settled on how many partnerships they're going to have and resource," she explained.
The University of Queensland is using a tri-lateral partnership model where they are partnering with global private companies who also have links to some of the top universities worldwide.
"We choose for example a big mining company or engineering firm and we find out which top 50 universities in the world that company is working with, and then we partner with that university as well. That's how we're creating out partnerships and then commercialisation comes with this," Professor Skidmore said.
While partnerships certainly have a big role to play in driving international student numbers in Australia, the take home message from the event last week is that universities don't need to settle on international student numbers that are consistent with their overall university financial sustainability.
"I think these numbers have to settle around niche product demand in various modes. Universities need an onshore and offshore and online strategy and settle and agree on the delivery of student loans. Setting targets and strategies around competitor analysis, future higher education demand and partnerships will be crucial," said Professor Skidmore.

From the Archives: October 30, 1915: Edison welcomed at the Exposition
The San Diego Union-Tribune will mark its 150th anniversary in 2018 by presenting a significant front page from the archives each day throughout the year.
Saturday, October 30, 1915
In 1915 inventor Thomas Alva Edison and automaker Henry Ford drew an enthusiastic crowd while attending San Diego's Panama-California Exposition.
Here are the first few paragraphs of the story:
Welcome Stirs Great Inventor's Heart; Ford Voices Plea for Peace
Distinguished Visitors Greeted by Thousands Upon Arrival At Exposition; Menlo Park Wizard Declines to Give Interview; Party Will Leave Tomorrow
HAPPINESS which radiated from the kindly face of Thomas Alva Edison, the world's greatest inventor, penetrated hears of thousands of San Diegans and visitors at Panama-California Exposition yesterday afternoon when 12,000 school children nearly buried him from view under an avalanche of fragrant flowers.
It was the welcome of the school children that touched him more deeply than the applause of the thousands of grown-ups who had assembled to add their welcome to that of the children. Between Edison and the children there seemed to exist that sympathetic understanding which made each child believe he had been given especial notice.
Standing on the platform before the Sacramento building under a beautiful pergola of green, banked with yellow chrysanthemums, built for the occasion by the San Diego park board, Edison was nearly hidden from view of the crowd after the children had passed and each one had deposited his bouquet. Nearly 4000 bouquets were taken from the grounds of Balboa park by members of the park commission. These were also showered on Edison and his party.
Many Seek Vantage Points
The welcome of the children to Edison was one of the prettiest functions of the kind ever given at the Exposition. With flowers strewn about him on every side, with great bunches of them in his arms, he smiled and bowed his pleasure to his young friends.
Long before the hour set for the arrival of Edison and Henry Ford, Detroit automobile manufacturer, hundreds crowded the steps of the Sacrament building, many brought their own chairs.
When the automobile bearing Edison and Ford turned into the Plaza de Panama, a thousand voices cried, "Here they come!" And thousands of other voices were raised in ringing cheers.When Edison alighted nimbly from the car he was met by Norman Hackett Barber Mary Elizabeth Pendleton and Marjorie Rice, a trio of happy youngsters who had been selected to greet him. They pressed great bunches of flowers into his hands and he smiled his thanks. Then came the school children with a ton of flowers which were banked about him and which permeated the air with their fragrance, "I'm solid for children," said Edison, the only remark he made.

People are infatuated with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's relationship, which means a lot of the time things written about them aren't exactly true. Reynolds himself confirmed this over the weekend when a news outlet reported he and Lively are struggling to spend "quality time" together. That's a flat-out rumor, which Reynolds hilariously shut down on his social media platform of choice, Twitter, on Saturday. "I wish, Reynolds jokingly wrote in response to the story. "I could use a little 'me time.'"
Reynolds' tweet is clearly tongue-in-cheek, but there is truth to it. This story implies Reynolds and Lively are spending time apart due to their busy schedules, but they've both said on multiple occasions that isn't the case. Their family doesn't split up when either Lively and Reynolds has a job. "My husband and I don't work at the same time, so we all go together as a family," she told People magazine in October 2017. "If we're away as a family, it's never more than for a day. We stay together."
Reynolds' funny social media presence become a pop-culture staple. He spends most of his time on Instagram and Twitter trolling Lively (see: his cropping Lively out of the photo he posted for her birthday last year), but he tweets every now and then about his two daughters (Inez and James) too. But there's a catch to those posts: In an interview with Glamour last year, Lively revealed the things he posts about Inez and James usually aren't true: They're just products of Reynolds' wild imagination.
"He may as well work for the Enquirer. When he says 'my daughter,' he's never, ever talking about her. Everything is a completely made-up scenario," Lively, who married Reynolds in South Carolina in September 2012, said. "He'll run them by me sometimes just to make me laugh...But, oh, I'm so in love with him when he writes that stuff. I mean, I'm in love with him most of the time, but especially with that."

Legal actions as a result of posts on social media have become so commonplace that a new word has entered the lawyers' lexicon – Twibel.
To understand what this means to you and your social media activity, you first need to understand the basics of media law. In the UK, the law recognises everyone's right to have their reputation protected against false and defamatory statements.
Back when I was studying at journalism college, one of the first things I learned was that defamation refers to written and printed statements while libel covers radio or television broadcasts. Our lecturers drummed into us that defamation was one of the greatest perils for journalists– nothing has changed.
Fast forward to 2017 and everyone with a social media account can publish their views to the world, which has led to a surge of Twibel cases going through the courts.
Regardless of intent or malice, if a tweet or Facebook post is read and reputational damage has been suffered, then you may be liable. This also applies to retweets, as by sharing something with your followers you have technically republished the defamatory statement.
Generally speaking, the more followers you have the greater the chance of damage, so the court will calculate the damages accordingly. If the offender has a small number of followers, then a claim for libel could fail because the defamatory statement did not cause serious reputational harm.
Before you abandon social media entirely and head for the hills, there are defences including truth or honest opinion. You can also limit the damage by removing offending statements, issuing an apology/clarification or offering compensation before legal bills start mounting up.
However, the best protection is prevention. Make sure you understand what you can and can't say, and ensure the person or agency running your social media accounts has some basic legal training.
Social media has presented both individuals and businesses with boundless possibilities. However, with power comes responsibility so you need to act wisely.

Python copulas library for dependency modeling
Project description
PyCopula - Dependencies with copulas
PyCopula is an easy-to-use Python library that allows you to study random variables dependencies with copulas. It comes with useful tools and features to plot, estimate or simulate on copulas.
PyCopula natively handle various families of copulas including :
- Archimean Copulas
- Clayton
- Gumbel
- Joe
- Frank
- Ali-Mikhail-Haq
- Elliptic Copulas
- Gaussien
- Student
Three methods of estimation, based on SciPy numerical optimization routines, are available to provide high flexibility during fitting process.
- MLE : Maximum Likelihood Estimation
- IFM : Inference For Margins
- CMLE : Canonical Maximum Likelihood Estimation
PyCopula was designed to provide an easy-to-use interface that does not require a lot in both programming and computing. As a result, only a few lines are needed to properly fit any copulas, as demonstrated in the following code snippet.
import pandas as pd
from pycopula.copula import ArchimedeanCopula
data = pd.read_csv("data/classic.csv").values[:,1:]
archimedean = ArchimedeanCopula(family="gumbel", dim=2)
archimedean.fit(data, method="cmle")
Archimedean Copula (gumbel) :
* Parameter : 1.605037
3D PDF and CDF
Concentration Functions
Currently, there are only a few features implemented in the library, which are the basics components for copula handling :
- Creating Archimedean, Gaussian and Student copulas
- 3D plot of PDF and CDF
- Concentration functions and visualization
- Estimation of copulas parameters (CMLE, MLE, IFM)
In the future, I plan to release the following features :
- Goodness-of-fit
- Copula selection with criterions and statistical testing
- Examples of applications in real world with open data
Also, if you are interested in the project, I would be happy to collaborate with you since there are still quite a lot of improvements needed (computation, estimation methods, visualization) and that I don't have enough time on my hands to do it quickly.

Mass media et next media : Internet et la transformation des pouvoirs
In turn we consider power as action capacity, access to resources and a social relationship. As a mass medium, Internet reinforces the power of supply, the power of the shareholders of big firms and of the hierarchy. On the contrary, as "next" medium, Internet could well be the catalyst for reversing powers in the firm. This transformation would then be based on three processes : coproduction, co-ownership and cooperation. Through coproduction, the action capacity switches from supply to client. Through co-ownership, access to financial resources switches from shareholders in large firms to that of young Small and Medium businesses. Through cooperation, social power switches from hierarchy to employees.

Hi all!
Thank you for visiting my simblog.
I wanted to separate my current Sims 3 obsession from the rest of my personal stuff, so I created this blog. I've played the original The Sims, The Sims 2, and now The Sims 3. My favorite aspect about the game is definitely the building. Although I must say, I probably spend more time decorating the interiors of my builds more than the actual building.
I had hoped the new TS3 website would have good enough tools to showcase my creations and stories, but I find their blogging and the way they handle screenshots on the exchange very lacking… Because of this, I will be posting my builds and sim antics here for the enjoyment of my friends and the sim community.
Happy simming!
Hi! I'm sorry if I am annoying you with this email, but I really want to know about something. First of all, I'd like to say that I really like your creations on The Sims 3, you are just a incredible creator. Congratulations! I'm from Brazil, and also create content for The Sims 3, I am a big fan of you.
So I noticed that your lots on exchange have different pics from the default of the game. I knew how to do it on The Sims 2 with Simpe, but I have no idea witch program to use to modify the files from The Sims 3. If you can, could you tell which the program is used to modify the pics? Thanks!
Thank you very much for the reply! So fast! I do not have too much creations like you, neither so beautiful like yours. http://br.thesims3.com/mypage/edufarias This is my simpage in The Sims 3.com, I hope you like it! I will register! Thank you again!!
you have great ideas i love how you did a separet website from the sims3 so you'r viewers could have an easier see.
oh sorry i forgot one more thing you seem to pick out such good pics for the backgrounds for your sims when you post them online. could you please tell me how to even do that?
i would be thankful if you did. =)
Hello! We want to exchange links with your site! We are a Sims3 finds site.
Your link is already on our front page and on the links page.

A really great hydrating mask!. I have been using it for whole nights instead of night cream like once a week and it works wonders. It's not sticky, a very thin layer remains by morning that can be washed away quickly and it really hydrates perfectly!
Best musk. Just the BEST musk! Renew and hydrate skin.
effective!. this mask does what it says. my skin is more hydrated after one use. my skin is very dry and i've tried different hydration mask. this one works best so far!
Very good hydrating mask!. I am positively surprised how good it is. Makes your skin so smooth and hydrated. It evens out skin tone and makes your skin very plump. It works even better if you leave it over night.
not bad. not bad product for it's price but there are better ones.
Good product!. after 7 years i'm using Ahava products again, i'm sick of parabens and sulfates, this is paraben free and good to my dry skin, using it twice a week can see a glowing difference.
Very Moisturising. I use this after a clay mask to replenish the moisture to my skin. It's gentle and moisturising, ingredients are good as well. I tend to put it on for an hour and more and it calms my sensitive skin down.
Good. Отлично увлажняет, хотя хотелось бы больше эффектов вроде подтягивания кожи
recommended. very good rich moisturizer.
Нормально. Впечатление от маски в целом нейтральное. Без восторгов и без замечаний. Наносится равномерно зеленоватым слоем, быстро подсыхает на лице, смывается хорошо. Ощущение глицериновой пленки. Действительно, смягчает кожу.

Fear plays such an important role in our ways of connecting with all reality, and mostly with other creatures we share this planet with--and, of course with ourselves. Here is a good teaching video on the way to work with Fear and hypnotic processes, led by Four Arrows (who I am writing a book on at this moment)... enjoy, -M.
"Over the years a number of you have asked about my old days of wild horse training and most have not seen this 7 minute television special with host Richard Hart. Hearing of my work with wild BLM horses, we arranged for me to bring in a wild horse from Nevada and filmed me getting on its back and hypnotizing Richard to overcome fears and approach the mustang. Please share with others as my work with wild horse teachers is what led me to realize that all of us have the telepathic ability to communicate love and trust out into the world with any and all living things. Don't laugh if you don't recognize me in this 1981 [actually c. 1984] copied video", says Four Arrows (June 17, 2017)

10 Pieces by Michael Praetorius: Performances and a Biography
Linda Crampton has loved music since childhood. She plays the piano and recorder, sings, and listens to classical, folk, and early music.
Who Was Michael Praetorius?
Michael Praetorius was a German composer who lived from approximately 1571 to 1621. He left us a wonderful collection of music scores as well as detailed information about the music theory, practice, and instrumentation of his time. Praetorius created sacred and secular music. The music is very enjoyable, and the factual information is a valuable resource for historians.
Choosing some of the composer's pieces for this article was a difficult task because so many great performances are available. I've chosen ten out of the many that I enjoy. There are eleven videos in the article because in one case I think both versions of the piece are excellent. The article also includes a brief description of the composer's life and some facts about the performers.
Praetorius was born in Creuzberg, a town that is today located in the state of Thuringia in Germany. He was born in 1571 or close to this year. His father was a Lutheran pastor. His birth name was Michael Schultz (or perhaps Schultze or Schultheiss). According to Oxford University Press, "Praetorius" is a Latinized version of the composer's family name.
The link between the family's original name and the new one may seem puzzling. The German name "Schultz" came from the title of the head man in a village. In Ancient Rome, a praetor was a magistrate. This may explain the connection between the names.
A Prolific and Important Composer
Michael Praetorius studied divinity and philosophy at the University of Frankfurt. Despite these studies, he chose music for a career. Not long after his graduation, he got a job as organist and kapellmeister (music director) for the Duke of Brunswick-Luneberg. He was employed by royal courts for most of his life. This didn't prevent him from travelling around Germany, where he was influenced by Italian music. He composed instrumental and vocal pieces and wrote about music.
Praetorius died in 1621, reportedly on his fiftieth birthday. He's buried in a vault beneath the organ in St. Mary's Church in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. Much of his music and writing is still available. He created many excellent musical compositions. Some of the pieces attributed to Praetorius today were collected and modified by him instead of being entirely composed by him, however.
The Renaissance period lasted from around 1400 to 1600. The Baroque period lasted from approximately 1600 to 1750. These dates mean that Praetorius lived during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods.
17th Century Archivist
The composer's publications have given us a very helpful insight into the music and culture of the seventeenth century.
- Musae Sinoniae (1605–1610) contains over a thousand vocal pieces.
- Terpsichore (1612) contains over three hundred dances from various countries.
- Polyhymnia Caduceatrix et Panegyrica (1619) is a collection of sacred music and hymns.
The composer was a diligent writer as well as a musician. His Syntagma Musicum is a three-volume illustrated encyclopedia of music that contains a wealth of information. It was published over several years towards the end of the composer's life. Praetorius planned to create a fourth volume but never achieved this goal.
Terspichore: An Enjoyable Collection of Dances
An ensemble known as Voices of Music plays six of the dances in the video below. The group is an early music ensemble based in San Francisco. It performs Renaissance and Baroque music. One of its goals is to educate the public about the historical music that it plays.
The ensemble has chosen appealing tunes to present in the video. In order of appearance, the pieces are a ballet, courante, spagnoletta, volta, pavane, and a bourrée. The names represent musical compositions as well as dances.
- Ballet: Arose from the Italian word ballare, which means "to dance." In early music, the term doesn't have exactly the same meaning as it does today. The nature of a ballet has changed over time. The version in the video sounds dignified.
- Courante: Contains quick running steps.
- Spagnoletta: A jaunty dance for couples. Oxford Reference describes it as "flirtatious."
- Volta: One reason why voltas were popular was that they involved the man lifting the woman into the air. The dance style is also known as "La Volta" (and according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary as Lavolta).
- Pavane: Slow and stately dance.
- Bourrée: Lively dance with a distinct rhythm and involves skipping steps.
I've capitalized the German titles in this article based on the most common method that I've seen in sources linked to the pieces.
"Es ist ein Ros' Entsprungen"
The title of this song means roughly "A rose has sprung up". It's associated with the Christmas season, especially Advent. The lyrics of the song refer to the lineage of Jesus and the role of Mary as the mother of Christ. The song is often sung in an English version entitled "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming". Though the rose is often assumed to represent Jesus, some people think that it may have originally been meant to represent Mary.
The version of the song below is sung by the Gesualdo Six, a vocal consort from the UK. The group was formed in 2014 and often performs early music, though not exclusively. Their name comes from the last name of the prince and composer Carlo Gesualdo (circa 1566–1613). The group was created to sing one of Gesualdo's works in the chapel of Trinity College, Cambridge, on Maundy Thursday. This day occurs just before Good Friday in the Christian tradition and commemorates the Last Supper.
The performance below was held in Ely Cathedral in England. A representative of the cathedral published the video and says that the men are singing under the medieval octagon in the building. An octagon is an ornate, octangular decoration in the ceiling of a tower. The Ely one can be seen from inside the cathedral.
The King's Singers
I love the version of the song above, but I also enjoy the one created by The King's Singers that I've included below. The group was created in 1968 by six graduates of King's College, Cambridge. The members traditionally sing a cappella (without an instrumental accompaniment).
The members of the group change over time and come from various institutions today. None of the original members belong to the ensemble. There are still six men in the group, though only four perform in the video below. The ensemble chooses songs from a variety of genres.
"Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g'mein"
Sometimes a literal translation from one language to another results in a loss of meaning. One translation of the title of this piece that seems appropriate is "Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice". The piece was composed by Martin Luther in 1523 and was originally a hymn. It was modified by Praetorius.
The beautiful performance below is the version created by Praetorius. It's significant because it's played on the famous Compenius organ located in the Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark. The organ was built in 1610, which was during the lifetime of the composer. It was refurbished in 1988 by Mads Kjersgaard.
The organist in the video is Jean-Charles Ablitzer. He's accompanied by William Dongois playing the cornett, an early music wind instrument that is not the same as the modern cornet. A photo of different types of cornetts is shown above.
"La Canarie"
"La Canarie" is another dance from Terspichore. The title of the piece refers to an energetic dance from the Canary Islands. The dance became popular in Europe in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The Canary Islands are an archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa. Today they belong to Spain.
The musician in the video below is Eduardo Antonello. He plays multiple instruments–in this case, the harpsichord, viols, recorders, the drum, and other percussion instruments. Using modern technology, he's able to play all the parts of the piece and then join them together so that he appears to be an ensemble.
"Ballet des Coqs"
"Ballet des Coqs" (Ballet of the Cocks) also comes from Terpsichore. Many songs can be chosen when a collection contains more than three hundred pieces. Though I haven't been able to find much information about the ballet, the lively passages with brief pauses between them remind me very much of a chicken pecking at intervals as it explores its habitat.
The music in the video is performed by two ensembles: Piffaro and Sonnambula. Piffaro bills itself as a Renaissance band. Sonnambula says that it's a "historically-informed" ensemble. One of its goals is to perform little-known early music. Both groups are based in the United States.
Bransle: Another Type of Dance
Bransles were often performed in a circle but were sometimes performed by a chain of dancers. They involved sideways or swaying movements. They were enjoyed by the general public before they became court dances. The example below is yet another piece in Terpsichore. Multiple articles could be written about the collection.
The bransle is performed by an ensemble known as Doulce Mémoire, which specializes in playing Renaissance music. The group is large and is based in France. It consists of musicians and singers and has been in existence for more than twenty-five years.
"Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich"
The title of this piece can be translated as "Give Us Peace Graciously". The piece comes from Polyhymnia Caduceatrix et Panegyrica. The collection is said to consist of music of "solemn peace and joy", which I think matches the mood of the piece below very well. I find it moving as well as solemn.
The piece is performed by a group called La Capella Ducale combined with a group called Musica Fiata. Capella Ducale is a German vocal ensemble founded in 1992. It's a supplement to the larger Musica Fiata, which was founded in 1976. The larger group performs music from the sixteenth and seventeenth century on historical instruments. The ensembles are directed by Roland Wilson.
"Psallite Unigenito"
The title of this song can be literally translated as "Sing Songs Only Begotten". It comes from the Musae Sioniae collection. The cheerful song celebrates the baby lying in a manger who will redeem us.
The singer is a musician named Julie Gaulke. On her website, she says that she enjoys making multitrack videos. In the piece below, she has sung each part of an ensemble production and then used computer technology to join the parts together.
"Hallelujah: Christ ist Erstanden"
"Hallelujah: Christ Is Risen" is a powerful song of celebration, as its name suggests. It comes from Polyhymnia Caduceatrix et Panegyrica. While the song above rejoices in Christ's birth, the one below celebrates the idea that he has risen from the dead.
I planned to end the article with this song until I discovered the one below it, which is even more triumphant in nature. The performers in the "Hallelujah" video are once again Musica Fiata and La Capella Ducale. I think they do a beautiful job with the piece.
"In Dulci Jubilo"
The title of this piece is often translated as "In Sweet Jubiliation". The Christmas carol "All Christian Men Rejoice" is based on the piece. It's another song from Polyhymnia Caduceatrix et Panegyrica. The word jubilation in the title is very appropriate. The piece is dramatic and celebrates the birth of Christ.
The full name of the group that performs the piece is the Gabrieli Consort and Players, though it's sometimes referred to as simply Gabrieli. Based on a photo of the ensemble, this is a large group. The group's website says that Gabrieli is a "choir and period instrument orchestra". They play music from the Renaissance period to the current one. The ensemble is directed by Paul McCreesh and has been in existence for thirty-five years.
I like the Gabrieli version of the song very much. The other versions that I've heard haven't appealed to me. They have been too "over the top" for my taste. The one below gets the balance between celebration and loudness (that in some versions verges on noise) just right for me.
A Beautiful and Memorable Legacy
Praetorius is one of my favourite early music composers. I haven't found a song created or modified by him that I dislike yet, apart from some versions of the last song, as I mentioned above.
Many more pieces by Michael Praetorius can be found online and in music stores. In addition, other versions of the pieces that I've included exist. A listener may like these versions as well and perhaps even prefer them. Exploring the music of Praetorius is interesting, enjoyable, and often educational. The musician has left us a wonderful legacy.

Finding a Partner Versus Selecting a Vendor
It's not an easy time for any business right now. That much, we all know. And that's why we're committed to offering the solutions that fit the unique needs of your company. As the Chief Customer Officer, I'm dedicated to ensuring that each of our clients knows that with the help of our solutions, they are well-equipped to respond to changes in the market and simplify complex issues they are facing.
Customer Focus is our first core value, and it's not something we just pay lip service to on our website. It's a way of thinking about how we approach each new customer and friend of Xactly. According to Forrester Research, companies that prioritize the customer experience grow 14 percent faster than the laggards. Companies that select us do so because of our unique approach to business. We partner with our customers to help them navigate this new uncharted sales landscape, and we work to build a continued partnership that will grow and change with each respective organization. Our clients are vocal about how we help them do just that:
We've had a solid partnership with Xactly for a long time now, and we've been investing in our entire SPM platform with the intent to connect all the data, with the intent to protect all the data, with the intent to automate all the data. Xactly has allowed us to move much faster through some of these changes than we would have been able to had we not done the work over the last few years
Below are a Few Key Differentiators Between a Vendor and a Partner:
1. Length of the Relationship: A vendor relationship ends when you sign on the dotted line and implies a sale and service agreement. A business partnership doesn't end when a contract is signed. It is a commitment to an ongoing, strategic, and mutually beneficial relationship between both parties involved.
2. Depth of the Relationship: It's essential to seek out service providers that have your company's goals at the heart of what they do. Whether it's hosting our annual #xactlylovesme party at our SPM summit, Xactly Unleashed, or releasing specific products or services that respond to current market conditions, we strive to build long-lasting relationships that change and evolve with our clients' needs.
3. Ongoing Support: You should find a partner that will be available to you long after everything is up and running. This can take many forms, like customer support and services or additional training. You need a partner that will support you after the dust of implementation and initial training has settled.
Looking Forward
Again, we want to meet you where you are and provide the solutions that will support the pain points and specific challenges your company faces today. It can be daunting to seek out a new technology partner, but we make it as simple as possible to get rid of old, outdated ways of managing Sales Performance so that you can keep up with the pace of change and meet your business goals. We've got your back!

Bob Crow: A life of commitment
The TUC and the British working class has lost one of our outstanding leaders, Bob Crow, the General Secretary of rail and maritime union RMT, who died this morning.
Bob was committed. Whether it was the internationalism he showed through the International Transport Workers' Federation and his many links around the world with dockers, seafarers and railway workers; or the stalwart opponent of racism and fascism on his doorstep in East London or anywhere in the world, Bob was passionate and determined.
His arguments were forcefully and consistently made, but that didn't mean they lacked sophistication. Because he opposed British membership of the European Union, people who didn't listen thought he was anti-European, but nothing could have been further from the truth. On international solidarity, he argued particularly that workers in one country had more in common with the workers in the same job in another country than with employers in their own.
Bob Crow stood up for working people. He demanded that they be respected and valued, and the many tributes paid by employers in the transport industry are testimony to his genuine love for rail. He demonstrated day in, day out, that the work people do defines us and gives us honour and value. He was unrepentant about wanting the best for workers, and he was unashamed, for example, about taking a holiday he was due. He had little time for circumlocution and was, partly as a result, one of the most recognised and recognisable trade unionists in Britain.
He was respected by those he faced over the negotiating table or the picket line, and admired by those he led and worked with. He knew what he was talking about, whether it was from personal experience and the experiences of his members, or from books and briefings. He was also genuinely and consistently funny, an ability he used to sometimes devastating effect in debate and on the TUC General Council. Despite being unshakeable in his arguments, he could disarm opponents as well as enrage them.
His commitment extended to every facet of his life. His family, whom he had to defend against a predatory media, and his beloved Millwall football club whom it would have been out of character and the spirit of the club to 'defend'. (Their slogan "no one likes us, we don't care" was often suggested as a personal credo for Bob.) And he was a demon bowler too, often the key player on the TUC cricket team.
Because as every trade unionist should be, Bob was a team player. No setback at the hands of a supposed colleague, no defeat in a vote at Congress or on the General Council ever shook his loyalty to trade union unity. Unequivocally on the left, totally on the side of workers not least because he was so viscerally one of them, and an unceasing advocate for the members who elected him time and time again.
Bob Crow was born in east London, moved to Essex as a toddler, left school at the age of 16 and worked on the railways for the rest of his life. His first job was on London Underground as an apprentice track worker, although he soon became involved in union activity, becoming a local representative for the then National Union of Railwaymen at the age of 20. Twenty years later, in 2002, he became General Secretary of RMT and he died today, aged just 52.

(QCOSTARICA) Driving to and from San Jose and points west to Heredia, Alajuela and the airport will get complicated given that the Juan Pablo II bridge (near the Hospital Mexico) on the autopista General Cañas will be closed to traffic on Sunday.
The closure, according to the Consejo Nacional de Vialidad (Conavi) will be from 6:00am to 4:00pm.
From Alajuela, drivers can get off the La Uruca exit, through the rotonda and back on the autopista. From San José, take the Heredia exit, through the rotonda and back on the autopista, ahead of Immigration.
The closure is to carry out "maintenance work" on the structure, as it presents significant deterioration due to the high traffic volume (and lack of a proactive maintenance program for many years, but you won't hear that from the CONAVI).
Given the closure is on a Sunday, little or no traffic congestion is expected. However, it is recommended, if possible, to use alternate routes and avoid the area completely.

Editorial Review
Booklist Reviews "Welcome to America, Champ!"
The luxurious Queen Mary ocean liner once sailed with diapers drying on clotheslines suspended over the ship's emptied swimming pool. Why? This was part of an unusual cargo transported by luxury liners in 1946: tens of thousands of "soldier brides" and their children who immigrated at the end of WWII to reunite with the U.S. servicemen they had married overseas. This entry into the Tales of the World series shines a vivid light on war's upheavals by focusing on fictional Thomas, a nine-year-old boy who faces leaving home, friends, grandparents, and his beloved cricket for the U.S., a new father, a new school, and the strange sport of baseball. A wedding cake made by friends' saving up sugar and powdered eggs for weeks and a view from the train into London of the Blitz's devastation bring home war's everyday hardship and trauma. At the same time, Thomas is moving into a hopeful future. Heartfelt watercolor illustrations bring to life the anxiety and tentative joys of this unique historical situation.

Shakespeare and Company presents The Merry Wives of Windsor through September 1. This rollicking comedy is presented outdoors in The Roman Garden Theatre.

Shakespeare's comedies often border on farce. One can imagine the Bard of Avon being a top comedy writer in every period and with every medium. Some of the great comedians of film and television would have found his material just what they wanted. This comedy should be produced more frequently than it is.

Terence Crawford vs Amir Khan to be announced this Tues, Jan.15
By Chris Williams: A news conference has been scheduled for next week on January 15 in London to announce the Terence Crawford vs. Amir Khan fight, which is expected to take place on April 20 in either Las Vegas, Nevada or New York. The January 15 press conference next week for the Crawford-Khan announcement will be taking place in London, UK.
This will be the third fight of Khan's three-fight deal with Matchroom Boxing. You can't say that Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn has gotten a lot of quality for his money. Khan's two fights with Matchroom have come against Phil Lo Greco and Samuel Vargas. The third and final fight of Khan's three-contract was supposed to be against Kell Brook. That's the fight Hearn and the British boxing fans wanted. Khan chose instead to fight Crawford. Khan could lose that fight, and that would mess up his match against Brook. Presumably, Hearn will re-sign Khan to a new contract. Whether that's another three-fight deal or just one fight at a time deal is unknown. Hearn cant be happy seeing Khan use up his third fight of his Matchroom contract with Crawford instead of Brook. That was the whole idea of Hearn signing Khan, to get him to fight Brook.
The Crawford vs. Khan fight is expected to be shown in the U.S on ESPN PPV, which is a curious move by Top Rank Boxing. Khan isn't a star, and he's done not done much in his career in many years. It would be interesting to know what the break even point will be in terms of PPV buys from U.S boxing fans. Perhaps the money from the UK side on Sky Box Office PPV will make up for the lack of buys the fight generates from the U.S side.
Looking at the fight in a logical way, Crawford vs. Khan isn't a PPV worthy fight at this point in the eyes of a lot of boxing fans. It's a good regular, non-ESPN+ level fight, but not a PPV worthy one. For the fight to do well, it's going to require a lot of the older boxing fans, who remember when Khan was a world champion many years ago, to want to buy the fight to see him face Crawford.
If Khan was still the fighter that he was in 2010, it would an intriguing fight, but he's not that guy any longer. The fight is seen as a mismatch by the U.S fans. The success of this fight will likely come down to what the casual boxing fans think about it. There will need to be a big marketing push to get those fans to want to buy it though, because it's unlikely that the hardcore fans will.
This will help take advantage of Khan's large fan base in England. This is also a sign that the Crawford vs. Khan fight could wind up being televised on Sky Box Office PPV in the UK, which won't make a lot of boxing fans happy.
Although British fans would be willing to pay to see Khan face Kell Brook on Sky Box Office, there would be a lot less enthusiasm from fans to have to pay to see a Crawford-Khan fight. It's not nearly as big of a fight, even thought it's just as tough, if not tougher, match-up for Khan.
Khan has a small chance of winning if he can score a knockout. Winning a decision over Crawford will be next to impossible for Khan. He doesn't have the gas tank to compete with Crawford for a full 12 rounds. The most likely scenario will be Khan doing well in the first six rounds, and then gassing out and getting stopped. It would be better for Khan if he just went all out looking for a knockout in the first half of the fight. If he doesn't get the stoppage at that point with him pushing 100 percent, then he'll be finished off by the seventh. Khan has the hand speed and boxing skills to give Crawford fits, but his chin and his stamina will be his undoing in this fight.
Khan will get tired like he did in the Saul Canelo Alvarez, Samuel Vargas and Chris Algieri fights, and wind up getting stopped. If Khan can jump on Crawford in the 1st round like he did against Phil Lo Greco, he could possibly knock him out. Crawford has never fought a good welterweight, and his experience at 140 against quality opposition was limited as well. Khan will be a much different type of fighter than the mediocre opposition that Crawford has been fighting during the last six years of his career.
Crawford has fought a lot of contenders, but they've been all B and C-level guys, and not the A-level fighters that exist today at 140. Crawford dashed from the light welterweight division right when it heated up. Some boxing fans think that was a move by design by Crawford and Top Rank. If Crawford had stuck around at light welterweight, he would have had to fight the true lions like Ivan Baranchyk, Regis Prograis, Jose Ramirez, Kiryl Relikh, Josh Taylor and Maurice Hooker. Those are fighters that would get their pound of flesh in a fight with Crawford. They wouldn't fold quickly with a body shot like former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Julius Indongo did in his third round knockout loss to Crawford in August 2017. A lot of fans got excited about Crawford after seeing him stop Indongo in three rounds. However, the fans were able to get some perspective on that win last March when they saw Prograis knockout Indongo in two rounds. Prograis knocked Indongo down four times in that fight. The first knockdown in round one was from a simple jab. Suddenly, Crawford's win over Indongo doesn't look so great. Crawford is a good fighter, but he's probably nowhere near the talent that many boxing fans, including The Ring, rate him as. The opposition just hasn't been there for Crawford in order to get a good idea of how good or not so good he is. If Khan fights with confidence, like he did against Lo Greco, he could potentially knockout Crawford. He didn't look good in his last fight against Jose Benavidez Jr., that's for sure. Crawford made Benavidez Jr. look like a superstar with the way he struggled for the first 11 rounds against him before stopping him in the 12th. The way that Crawford fought, he wouldn't last long against the like of Errol Spence Jr., Keith Thurman or Shawn Porter.
The main thing that could keep Khan from having a real chance of winning this fight against Crawford is his inactivity over the years. Khan has been treating boxing like a part time sport since 2013. He hasn't been active enough for his own good.
Here's Khan's activity level since 2013:
2013: 1 fight against Julio Diaz
2014: 2 fights against Luis Collazo and Devon Alexander
2015: 1 fight against Chris Algieri
2016: 1 fight against Saul Canelo Alvarez
2017: 0 fights.
2018: 2 fights against Phil Lo Greco and Samuel Vargas
Khan hasn't gotten the most of his career since 2013, and it's an impossible task for him to make up for that. In any sport, once you start treating it like a part time job, you lose your skills, and are no longer the top level. Khan still has his hand speed, but his stamina is gone. He's now a six-round fighter, who has nothing left in the tank in the second of his fights. With Khan being matched against Lo Greco and Vargas last year, his stamina problems didn't come into play. But when Khan faces Crawford, he's going to struggle if he doesn't blitz him early to try and get him out of there. since Khan has a big fight waiting for him against Brook, it would be better for him to go out on his shield by fighting in a brave manner against Crawford than it would be for him to try and box him, and wind up getting worn down and stopped in the second half of the fight after he gets tired.
