Human Development- Extra Credit2

"You had a hundred billion chances and ways to have avoided today, "But you decided to spill my blood." You forced me into a corner and gave me only one option. The decision was yours. Now you have blood on your hands that will never wash off." This were the words of," Cho Seung-Hui, 23 on April 16 2006.
Cho killed 32 people and committed suicide in the deadliest one-man shooting rampage in modern U.S. history. This sad and disturbing event is almost unbelievable but it is. This type of behavior does not happened over night. Cho was repeatedly urged to get counseling by teachers and peers. A little over a year before the massacre, Cho was accused of sending unwanted messages to two women and was taken to a psychiatric hospital on a magistrate's orders and was pronounced a danger to himself. He was released with orders to undergo outpatient treatment.
Cho's twisted, violence-filled writings and vacant-eyed demeanor had disturbed professors and students so much that he was removed from one English class. Authorities disclosed another incident of Cho's dating back in November and December 2005, two women complained to campus police that they had received calls and computer messages from Cho. But the women considered the messages "annoying," not threatening, and neither pressed charges. Neither woman was among the victims in the massacre, police said. The first teacher at Virginia Tech to notice Cho's problems was award-winning poet Nikki Giovanni, who kicked him out of her introduction to creative writing class in late 2005. Also professor, Lucinda Roy of English at Virginia Tech stated she notified campus police and various other college units after Cho displayed antisocial behaviors handed in disturbing writing assignments in her class." There had been several complaints made against Cho for similar situations. The authorities could not do anything unless...

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Baytown's Jose Quiroga, 42, pleaded guilty to federal drug trafficking violations that allege he conspired to bring drugs to Beaumont and neighboring states on Tuesday, June 12, according to information from the office of U.S. Attorney Joseph D. Brown.
Information presented in court and provided by the U.S. Attorney's Office showed that Quiroga served as a narcotics and bulk currency courier for a drug trafficking organization led by Eugenio Cerda.
Jessica Burgos, 36, of Channelview has been sentenced to federal prison for drug trafficking violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney Joseph D. Brown today.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth.

EXCLUSIVE: Nabsys Founder Forced Out by Bready, Raimondo for Raising Concerns UPDATED
Tuesday, September 15, 2015
At that time, Ling said former board member and now Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo offered to buy him out while a managing partner at Point Judith Capital, but he refused.
Ling said he predicted the demise of the startup company that he founded as far back as 2008 due to what he said was a "critical component" that was lacking.
"I had the idea of creating [Nabsys] back in 2004. I hired Barrett Bready in 2005, and then I was kicked out in 2009," said Ling. "He literally kicked me out. I was very upset, but there was nothing I could do. Then, Gina Raimondo called me and offered to buy me out, but I turned her down."
Raimondo offered to pay Ling $29,750 to buy him out during the period in which her venture fund was investing $2.75 million in a round of investment which totaled $4 million.
"I refused. I said this is either worth nothing, or it will be worth a lot, but I don't want to take your money," said Ling.
Issue at Core
"The issue at the core is there was one piece of technology that was not fully developed at that time," said Ling. "Barrett [Bready], and [former VP] John Oliver thought it was trivial, and I said this is still not solved -- that's been the problem."
"Millions were wasted in my view," said Ling. "They were building a cart before the horse had all four legs. When they kicked me out -- I told [Raimondo] this thing's not ready. It wasn't ready the way they wanted to run. I wanted just a small amount of money to solve the key piece."
"Instead, they said two legs were enough. So I hate to say this, but want to say, "I told you so," said Ling, who has been a member of Brown's faculty since 1996.
According to his bio, Ling has done postdoctoral research at Yale University and the NEC Research Institute at Princeton, and has been a visiting professor at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, a guest professor at Wuhan University, and a Qianren Plan Visiting Professor at Southeast University in Nanjing. Ling received a Research Innovation Award from the Research Corporation in 1998, and he was an A.P. Sloan Fellow from 1998-2001 and a J.S. Guggenheim Fellow from 2002-2003. He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2005.
Under Ling, Nobel Prize winner Leon Cooper had served as Nabsys board member through 2009.
More Emerging
GoLocal was first to report on Friday that Nabsys had closed; GoLocal reported Monday that Raimondo's venture fund, Point Judith, and Rhode Island could stand to lose millions in Nabsys'closing.
Ling said he believed that the company could still have "significant value" based on its intellectual property.
"I've tried to get some of the intellectual property. The IP is still worth something," said Ling. "I want to buy three patents with my name on it, and the trademark. So it's not clear at this point the total loss of value."
Editor's note: A prior version stated Ling ran out of funding in China. Ling clarified it was initial U.S. NIH funds that ran out, and that he just began his effort in China in January 2015.

GoLocal takes a look at the 14 biggest business stories of 2014.
Zero Value
1) Superman Building Has Zero Value
The tallest building in RI continued to serve as a grim reminder of the under performing economy, as GoLocalProv's investigation found:
The Superman Building in Providence has "no value," according to an appraisal conducted earlier this year by Providence-based appraiser Scotti and Associates.
Moreover, the findings show that the Industrial National Bank Building at 111 Westminster Street would cost between $60 million and $100 million to rehabilitate.
"It's my opinion for the highest and best use is to shutter the building until which point the market conditions improve to the point that rehabilitation is an option. We estimate that as of December 31, 2012, the building has zero value," wrote Scotti in February 2014, referring to the 2012 date when the building's last tenant, Bank of America, moved out.
2) Alex and Ani Shake Up
Rhode Island's homegrown success story Alex and Ani hit the cover of the national business magazines and then out of nowhere, the dynamic duo of Giovanni Feroce and Carolyn Rafaelian were no more. The combo had helped grow the company from $4 million to $220 million in just four years.
Feroce was out.
Alex and Ani today announced that founder and creative director Carolyn Rafaelian has been appointed interim Chief Executive Officer of the company by the Board of Directors. Ms. Rafaelian will guide the company while the Board conducts a search for a new CEO to replace Giovanni Feroce who has left the company. The process to recruit a new CEO is expected to take several months.
"Alex and Ani has experienced incredible positive energy and growth since this journey began 10 years ago," said Carolyn Rafaelian, founder, creative director and interim CEO of Alex and Ani. "Now as we seek to take the company to the next level, it is imperative we bring on board a new CEO who has experience leading a fast growing company to the next level and who can provide the strategic direction and vision that will serve us well into the future."
Snowden's Prov Connection
3) Providence Equity - Snowden Connection
In January, GoLocal broke a story that went global. Providence Equity -- the $48 billion Rhode Island-based private equity fund -- was tied to the firm hired to vet Edward Snowden. GoLocal's investigation piece went around the world.
A blockbuster federal fraud suit filed yesterday against the Virginia security contractor charged with vetting Edward Snowden is having massive reverberations – and nowhere more so than in Providence, where it threatens the legacy of one of Rhode Island's top financiers and favorite sons.
The Snowden case, the biggest U.S. security leak since the Pentagon Papers, may seem like a remote affair, involving a lone security analyst based in Hawaii who leaked National Security Agency files in Hong Kong, now lives in limbo in Moscow, and has President Obama and the Washington policy establishment grappling with the fallout.
Huge blow
But among its many other consequences, it has dealt a huge blow to Providence Equity Partners, the local investment giant quietly run by Jonathan M. Nelson, a Providence native whose low-key demeanor and insistence on remaining in Providence earned him the nickname, the "stealth mogul."
Nelson is Rhode Island's richest man, with a net worth of $1.6 billion, according to Forbes.
From discreet offices on Kennedy Plaza, Nelson and a small shop of financiers run a global empire of assets worth more then $37 billion, owning everything from cable giants in Europe and India, to pay TV in Turkey, to a piece of the Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network, known as YES!, that broadcasts the Bronx Bombers.
Comeback Kid
4) Feroce Bounces Back with BENRUS
It did not take Giovanni Feroce long to bounce back. He left Alex and Ani in March and by early July he was announcing a new company - the launch of a historical watch brand into a new lifestyle company.
Giovanni Feroce, who teamed with Carolyn Rafaelian to grow Alex and Ani from sales of $4 million to more than a reported $220 million in 4 years, then left the company, is now back with a new venture - BENRUS. The BENRUS company has a rich legacy as a military watch company, but under Feroce the company is being built into a broader lifestyle brand.
Feroce describes the acquisition as a multi-million dollar transaction.
The legacy of the watch company goes back to 1921, when three brothers Benjamin, Ralph, and Oscar Lazarus of Romanian descent founded the watch company that went on to be the watch of choice to the U.S. military during World War II.
Projo's Ownership
5) Projo Sale Drives More Cuts
From many who worked for the Providence Journal or read the the paper during the Belo ownership era, they thought it could not get much worse. Then, GateHouse Media purchased the paper and devastated the newsroom and laid off some of the best branded and most talented journalists.
As GoLocal first reported about the Projo's sale in June of 2014, the new owner - GateHouse -- was just a few months removed from bankruptcy.
The news that GateHouse Media is poised to be the new owner of the Providence Journal has garnered the attention of media academics and experts who have weighed in on what the acquisition will mean for the oldest continually published daily newspaper in the U.S.
"They've been savaging newsrooms across the country," said Michael Scully, Assistant Professor of Communications at Roger Williams University. "Gatehouse Media has been buying flags all over the [U.S.]. The model seems to repeat itself: They buy, they survey, they layoff."
"Now, I'm not sure if the [GateHouse] business model is working, but I do believe they are destroying local media," continued Scully. "Every time you fire a daily newspaper reporter, editors must fill open space with wire copy, which means the paper loses its "local appeal."
RI Loses a Corp HQ
6) Media General Buys LIN Media and RI Loses a Corporate Headquarters
The sale of the parent company of WPRI-12 to the parent company of WJAR-10 was a blockbuster in the local TV industry in the US. The deal created a one of the largest local TV groups in the US. The bad news is that LIN Media which was located in Providence, RI is now rolled into Richmond, Virginia-based Media General
The most underreported story in Rhode Island is the $1.6 billion acquisition by Channel 10's parent of Channel 12's parent company – the impact on Rhode Island's economy and the media landscape will be profound. Media General is also assuming nearly $1 billion of LIN Media debt making the deal $2.6 billion.
The story broke four hours before the FBI and IRS raided Speaker Gordon Fox's office and so most everyone in the state forgot about one of the biggest business and media stories ever to hit Rhode Island.
Certainly Channel 10 and Channel 12 won't be reporting on the story.
7) Security Breaches
Every consumer needs to be concerned. The threats to their data is real and growing.
From big box retailers like Target to online businesses like Zappos, recent history has illustrated that major companies are susceptible to data security breaches. In the last three months alone, there have been five major instances of hacking affecting retail stores, hotel chains and Internet services.
Not a new problem, instances of retail and online security breaches have been plaguing businesses since the mid-2000s, beginning with the notorious TJ Maxx case. In 2007, the Massachusetts-based store disclosed that hackers had gained access to more than 45 million credit and debit card accounts. In a similar event, Target revealed in December that 40 million customer accounts were hacked.
Brown CEOs
8) Brown Grads Leading Business
Brown may be the anti-business school. Amazingly, Brown grads are among the most successful at leading companies across the United States.
Famously bohemian Brown, with its conspicuously lacking business school, has somehow managed to graduate a sweeping array of America's top business leaders.
From their perches atop the most powerful Wall Street firms, entertainment companies, and technology firms, Brown grads are divinely undefinable.
The Ivy League school is known more for its alternative curriculum and as a result is often a magnet for where the children of the top celebrities attend. Everyone from George Harrison's son Dhani to President John Kennedy's son JFK Jr. to Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Scout and Jack Nicholson's daughter Lorraine – to name just a very few – all spent time criss-crossing the school's famous quad paths.
The school's image was well expressed by former Brown Provost Mark Schlissel (now president of the University of Michigan), who put it this way: "Students at Brown are free to imagine and create their own course of study, integrating their major areas of interest into a broader program of liberal learning."

Go West
9) GoLocal24 Expands to Portland, Oregon
As a local start-up. the news was big for us at GoLocal. The ability to take a new model for local journalism across the country was a big step for a homegrown RI company.
GoLocal24, a rapidly growing digital local news and information company, is expanding to the west coast, launching a new site this spring in Portland, Oregon. GoLocal24, which serves mid-sized markets and is based in Providence, will launch its third news and lifestyle content platform with GoLocalPDX.com.
The company has been delivering news and information to Rhode Island consumers since the company was founded in 2010. The company launched GoLocalWorcester two years ago. Combined, the two platforms now deliver in excess of 7.5 million pageviews per month and just under 800,000 unique visitors monthly.
"In both Rhode Island and Central Massachusetts, we have quickly grown to be a leading source of enterprise local news content," said Josh Fenton, Co-Founder and CEO at GoLocal24. "GoLocal is creating new ways to access vital news and information for citizens who want their local content delivered digitally."
10) Citizens Looking at Superman Building for Corporate HQ
GoLocalProv has learned that Citizens Bank is eyeing the Superman Building for its corporate headquarters.
The Superman building - Providence's tallest building — has been vacant since its last tenant, Bank of America, moved out of the iconic structure in March 2013, leaving Providence with a massive black mark on its landscape. The building is located at 111 Westminster Street.
Since then, the owner of the building High Rock Development has been seeking federal tax credits, state subsidies, state tax credits, and a tax stabilization treaty from the City of Providence to underwrite a mammoth redevelopment of the building for proposed residential use. According to the developer and assessments, the cost of rehabbing the building is expected to exceed $75 million.
GoLocal has learned from sources in the bank -- and in government -- that the proposed relocation of the Citizens Headquarters has been in play since before the bank's IPO in September.

12) Providence Start-Up Market is Hot
One gleaming sector of the Rhode Island economy is the world of start-ups. In the past two years, Rhode Island-based companies have raised in excess of $200,000,000 in capital.
While Silicon Valley and Boston/Cambridge are two of the biggest hubs for attracting venture capital that fuels hundreds of companies each year, Rhode Island has seen a precipitous increase in dollars and deals.
"We are seeing the logical outcome of having a healthier startup scene in Providence. We have a half-dozen startups with big ideas that are coming into their own around the same time. In the past we've had one at a time, and long stretches when there weren't any obvious breakout successes. Venture capital is increasingly mobile, it will follow the best entrepreneurs and startups if they prove their business," said Allan Tear, one of the founder of the business incubation company Betaspring.
Game Changer
13) Providence Soccer Stadium Could Create Thousands of Jobs and Billions to Improve Economy
You do not have to look far to get a glimpse of what the costs and benefits of a new soccer stadium would be in Providence, RI.
Washington, DC has given the green light to build a new soccer mega-stadium complex for their Major League Soccer franchise (MLS). The DC project is significant and designed to revamp an entire section of the city - Buzzards' Point along the Anacostia River. The benefits are projected to be massive too.
The DC project is the biggest MLS soccer stadium development in the US and is both a sports complex development and the reclamation of that section of the city complete with hotel and amenities. Washington is banking on thousands of permanent jobs and billions in economic growth.
Newport's Big Deal
14) Newport's Big Change
One of the biggest game changers for RI's city by the sea - Newport had one of the biggest business transactions - a game changer.
The Newport Harbor Corporation has sold the Newport Yachting Center to the East Providence-based Peregrine Group, whose principal is Colin Kane, the Chairman of the 195 Commission.
The Peregrine Group confirmed they were planning on issuing a release later on Tuesday.
Newport Harbor Corporation Statement:
"We have made a decision to sell the property we own on the downtown Newport waterfront. The primary reason we made this decision is to invest into our expanding restaurant and hotel operations, where we see excellent growth opportunities. However, we will continue to operate the Newport International Boat Show, the Charter Yacht Show, The Mooring, The Smoke House, and the Newport Yachting Center Private Events business at the Sunset Terrace, by leasing back the land from the new owner.

If your tenants are responsible for paying utilities, specifically water, or you pay the water bill every month, one way or the other the rent charged reflects that responsibility. If they pay, the rent is lower and if you pay the rent a bit higher to cover utility costs.
You can ask your tenants to be careful and conserve water and install low-flush toilets and water-saving showerheads. That helps. But if your single family rental has a yard, you can save plenty by xeriscaping your lawn. How do you do that?
Xeriscaping your lawn means getting rid of or otherwise reducing the footprint of grass and other water-craving plants. You don't need to entirely get rid of all plants, but any reduction will certainly help. As much as 50 percent of your water bill can be attributed to lawn care. Sprinkler systems are more efficient and can be timed to water in the wee hours of the morning when there is less heat, but now that winter is here, or at least it certainly feels like it, it's time to reevaluate your lot.
Different types of grass will consume more or less water. Research the types of grass that will both survive in your geographical area while needing less water. Your local gardener can provide you with various options. Don't get rid of your entire lawn and replace it with rocks or gravel. In the warmer months, these rocks will increase the surface temperature of the lawn. Instead, xeriscape in areas that are difficult to water or otherwise maintain. For example, areas near fences often lack proper irrigation. Sloping areas allow water to run off with less soaking into the ground. When watering, if the driveway and sidewalks get a decent soaking every time the sprinkler system is on, xeriscape the areas near impervious cover and reposition the sprinklers to water where there is need.
There are so many ways to xeriscape a lawn, saving hundreds in utility bills while helping preserve precious water. This is something you can do yourself with a little guidance from the hardware and garden store. When you're done, you'll find your yard not only uses less water but is more attractive as well.

Watch Work Items
Watches allow you to follow the status of an individual work item. You should use watches when you have a critical portfolio item, user story, defect, or task, and need immediate notification when its details are changed. When a work item is being watched, an email notification is generated for each edit made by other users (but not for your own edits).
You can only view watches that are associated to the workspace you are currently scoped to. Change your workspace scope as needed.
Watches work differently than standard email notifications. There are no rules to configure or set up. Watch notifications are sent by email, and are not currently included in the My Notifications app on a dashboard or custom page.
Enable watches
To use the watches feature, you must have email functionality enabled in both your subscription and profile settings. If you do not have email notifications enabled, you will receive a failure message when you try to watch an item:
Contact your subscription administrator to enable email notifications in your subscription. To enable email notifications in your profile, edit your profile.Enabling email functionality will also allow emails to be sent from any active notification rules that you have set up. This includes the Notify me about changes to my <work item> (and items directly related to them) notification trigger for each work item type. If you receive unwanted emails that are not related to your watches, check your notification rules and triggers.
Create watches
The Watch button is found on the detail pages of user stories, defects, tasks, and portfolio items. You may also access the Watch command from pages and apps that support the gear menu.
|From detail pages
|From gear menus
Bulk create or remove watches
You may create a watch on multiple items at once from summary pages and apps that support the gear menu. Select the items you want to watch with the check box to the left of each work item row, and select the Watch command from the Bulk Actions gear menu.
Use the same method to unwatch multiple items at once.
If any items in your selection are already being watched or unwatched, the success notification on the page will notify you of the results.
Manage watches
The Watches page found in CA Agile Central's profile mode lets you see all active watches created for your username. Each row has a gear menu, with an Unwatch command.
Add users to watches
You can add team members and other users that may be interested in a work item to an existing watch from your Watches page or a work item's detail page.
From the Watches page
When you add a user to a watch, they will receive an initial email notification. The watch will also be visible from that user's Watches page.
From a detail page
Remove watches
If you would like to discontinue notifications for a work item, you can remove the watch. To remove a watch, access the Unwatch command from the Watches summary page and most gear menus. You may also select the Unwatch button when viewing a work item's detail page.
You may also select the link found inside a notification email:
Watch fields
Email notifications will be generated for any changes to a work item (including a deletion), but some field values may not be displayed in the message.
Changes to rank in a drag-and-drop workspace will not show previous or current rank values, since CA Agile Central uses an algorithm behind-the-scenes to calculate a rank value. These edits will display as rank changed in notification emails.
Rollup fields
Some work items contain fields that show aggregate or rolled up values of associated work items. Changes to a related work item may affect these fields, which would cause a notification to be issued for the watched parent item. Fields include:
|User story and defect fields
|Portfolio item fields
* applies to lowest portfolio item type only

Shizuku, the debut album from Illuha (a play on the word "island" in Portugese), reads like a "state of the union"-styled portrait of 12k in its current form, with the label's music having grown increasingly organic and electro-acoustic over time. Artists like Illuha (made up of Tokyo residents Corey Fuller and Tomoyoshi Date) have formed seamless harmonious unions between the electronic and natural realms, and the two inhabit the shared spaces of the recording in such a way that whatever differences there might be between them collapse altogether. A physician and musician, the San Paulo, Brazil-born Tomoyoshi Date is also a natural partner for the US-born and Japan-raised Corey Fuller, who issued his first solo album, Seas Between, on Dragon's Eye Recordings in late 2009. Both are currently based in Tokyo and evidence a sensitivity to delicately shaped and detailed sound worlds of acoustic and organic design. On the fifty-minute recording, six meditations assembled from pipe organ, vibraphone, dulcimer, accordion, piano, synthesizer, field recordings, and processed sounds transport the listener to warm, tropical locales, even if the recording was created in a 100-year old church in Bellingham, Washington.
The album's longest track at thirteen minutes, "Rokuu" encapsulates the album's tone and style in a single albeit epic instance. Field recordings of the natural world (ocean sounds) and wavering tones establish a becalmed foundation for the ample flickerings of other instruments that the duo overlays to enhance the material's textural flow. Acoustic guitars gradually appear to broaden the music's timbral scope before John Friesen's lyrical cello playing deepens its emotional impact. Adding the supplicating cry of his instrument to their material was a masterstroke on the group's part, and lovely too are the moments that follow, with delicate electric guitar picking and high-pitched strings used as a sparing counterpoint to the cello.
Acoustic and electronic elements merge naturally within Illuha's sound-world. On "Aikou," for example, piano chords, thumb piano plucks, and winsome cello flourishes intone placidly amidst a wealth of softly shimmering textures and hand percussion (bell tinkles et al.), the elements breathing in tandem and conjuring a peaceful and humid oasis. Even though a wealth of hyperactive sound courses through "Guuzai," the immersive mass of bell tinklings, organ tones, and plucked strings nevertheless exudes a becalmed ambiance when all of its constituent sounds form a texturally luscious dreamscape. "Kie" seems, if anything, even more rooted in the natural world, with traces of bird chirps and people's voices and movements audible alongside the slivers of piano playing and ambient tones. The middle piece, "Seiya," adds an unusual wrinkle to the prototypical 12k recording in adding a spoken word contribution by Japanese Tanka poet Tadahito Ichinoseki to Illuha's gentle backdrop, the poem apparently about Christmas, birth, death, and other weighty matters. While Illuha's music makes a powerful impression, the clarity of the recording is a marvel unto itself, with each of the group's many instruments inhabiting its own clearly defined space within the mix.
December 2011
In this latest 12K release Corey Fuller and Tomoyoshi Date, both currently residents of Tokyo, come together as Illuha for this study in space. In this case the space within a 100-year old church in Bellingham, Washington (US). Using "ambient and quad-microphone techniques" the pair were able to capture the natural acoustics of the building. Combine this with a large selection of mainly acoustic instruments and selected field recordings and the pallet is essentially complete for the 6 tracks that follow.
The opener "rokuu", starts with a micro-soundscape that gradually builds with the introduction of a luminescent chord and the sounds of the sea. I was actually surprised when this was interrupted by a more traditional guitar chord sequence setting both tempo and the harmony for the 'cello parts that follow, atypical of the album as a whole.
"Aikou" begins with a beautifully ambiguous chord and swiftly adds piano and distant percussion. This piece works best towards the end where the more chaotic elements are allowed to flourish and the harmony becomes more intense. Sonically there's a lot going on here but the duo manage to control the space in such a way that very little is obscured for long. You'll need to listen to this a number of times to stand a chance of following everything that is going on.
"Seiya" stands out on the album as having the strongest connection to Japan both sonically and musically and that's before the element of poetry, read by the "renowned Japanese Tanka poet Tadahito Ichinoseki" is added. Simply put, many will find this the strongest track on the album.
Having said that, this is an album that does tend to keep on getting better with each track. In "Saika", the use of solo instrument, in this case piano, works best here compared to other tracks on the album. The piece builds significantly with a range of plucked sounds and shimmering backgrounds. Again repeated listening will reveal the true depth of the arrangement.
The fifth track, "Guuzai", in some ways has perhaps the least promising start, being somewhat melancholic, nothing wrong with that in itself but what a hidden beauty it turns out to be. A number of alternating high pitch drones are gradually joined by piano, guitar and percussion. There is a sense of anticipation but it's only at around 4 minuets that the true beauty of the piece is revealed. Alternating between the two chords, gives it just enough movement to help it stand out beyond those pieces rooted in just the one. The result is a superb expression of love and compassion, at least, that was my interpretation. To an extent, the climb down at the end, works even better. Being more subdued, the piano, as well as other percussive elements, really shine through.
As would seem fitting for such a work, the final track instantly feels like a coda. Sonically it starts where the previous track ends, with the emphasis very much on the piano's higher registers. As the piano gradually introduces more notes, almost reaching a collection of fractured pentatonic arpeggios, the whole piece is flooded by the final shifting chord. At the same time the sounds of the hall are heard in the form of foot steps and creaky floor boards.
Overall Shizuku works at every level. If the aim was to capture the building acoustic then this has largely been successful, although it would be interesting to see if this element could have been taken further. For me the stand out tracks are 3 and 5, although it's all extremely good! It's not the sort of album that is going to surprise you by a series of stealth shock moves but I guess that's largely true of the genre and is probably just as well. It's very hard to find anything to criticise but it is worth noting there is very little dissonance in the work and while there is nothing wrong with that, a few subtle discordant additions could have really helped to enhance this already beautiful work.
- Joe Evans for Fluid Radio
「seiya…」濃霧の音の中からたちあらわれた一ノ関忠人による日本の言葉にハッとさせられた。そして緩やかに深い感動を覚えた白昼夢…。多分キリストのことを詠んでいるのだろうけれど、ぼくの頭のなかで現れたのは、何故だか日本の四季の風景だった。五七五七七、五七五七七… この言葉のリズムって、呼吸って、すでに、僕(等)にはとてもエキゾチックで美しい。
Continuing 12k's journey into the world of subtle yet extremely beautiful instrumental music, 'Shizuku' comes from two musicians based in Tokyo; Corey Fuller and Tomoyashi Date. The album was recorded in a one hundred year old church, and while the sounds might be extremely low-key, their impact is amplified many times by the sheer reverberating grandeur of the space in which it was recorded. Haunted analog synthesizer tones sit like pillows beneath pipe organ, accordion, Rhodes piano, dulcimer and piano to create music that is so understated it is almost poetic. Indeed mid-way through the record we are treated to a haunting piece of spoken word, and even though it is in Japanese, it's hard not to be moved by the words and distinct sound of the voice. While it would be easy to lump 'Shizuku' in with a great deal of other understated Japanese electronic records around at the moment, there is something very unusual about it that sets Illuha head and shoulders above their peers. There is a darkness and sense of melancholy that eschews the trend for prettiness and creates a lasting impression on the listener, and that alone is worth the asking price. A truly gorgeous and haunting album. http://boomkat.com/downloads/452775-illuha-shizuku
ILLUHA – SHIZUKU (CD by 12K)
A voice reciting a text: that's something rather unheard of in the world of 12K. I can't recall something like that happening before. What's next, somebody singing? Illuha is a Portuguese word, meaning 'Island' and is a duo of Corey Fuller and Tomoyoshi Date, who had a bunch of pieces on the Fat Cat and Mille Plateaux websites and formed with Opitope with Chihei Hatakeyama and has released two solo albums; oddly enough he is also a physician. Fuller also lives in Tokyo these days and is known for his various releases on Dragon's Eye and besides Illuha, he also has been collaborating with Mathieu Ruhlmann and Tyler Wilcox and Chihei Hatakeyama, and with the latter and Date also a trio called Kuukoka. That poem piece, recited by Tadahito Ichoneseki, is the only odd ball on this CD, the other pieces, six in total, have the 'usual' 12K touch, the 12K touch of these days that is. Lots of acoustic instruments, like dulcimer, accordion, piano vibraphone, cello, but also analog synth
rhodes and bits of field recordings, all played in a 100 year old church, picked up by quad-microphone techniques and apparently with a little bit of computer processing. The natural ambience of the space works quite well for this music, which is very melodic and rich. No doubt this is due to the use of acoustic instruments and sees 12K once again moving out of the strict realms of computer music, into a finely woven world of acoustic ambient music. Beautiful, rich and at times sad music. Emotional music and simply great. Excellent. (FdW)

Happy humpday everybody. Last week was very successful for my subs and myself on both sites once again. Almost every single player I wrote up in last weeks article went off, so hopefully you took some of my advice. I will be looking to help out anyway possible again this week as I go for four straight successful weeks in NFL DFS. I'm going to change my article style this week and just leave you two plays I really like at each position that can be used for both cash and gpp. If you have any questions you know where to find me, @MonstarsDFS.
Goat 1: Tom Brady @ CLE $8700
Right now I'm not going Brady, but that could very well change by Sunday. His four game suspension is over with and I believe him and Bill Belichick will be trying to make a point while also getting him back into the swing of things. I could easily see Brady throwing the ball a ton on Sunday, and the Browns are horrible. Expect safe numbers from Brady in his return this Sunday.
Goat 2: Derek Carr vs SD $8100
Carr is who I have in my lineups as of now, and will probably roll with him. He's thrown at least 35 times in every single game this season and has scored solid fanduel points of , 23.8, 12.9, 25 and 22.4 so far this year. He's also getting his most favorable matchup of the year thus far, facing a San Diego defense that ranks 28th against the pass, and actually stops the run very well. Look for Carr to throw the ball around 40 times in this one, exceed 300 passing yards, and also expect the Raiders to score a lot of points. He seems like the best play on the board this weekend and has a reasonable price tag too.
Running back
Goat 1: Melvin Gordon @ OAK $7700
I think this game will have a lot of scoring being done and is one of my main games to target this weekend. I'm staying on the Gordon train this weekend as he faces an Oakland Raiders defense that ranks 31st against the run. Gordon isn't sharing handoffs with anyone, which is very important in dfs. He leads the NFL with 6 rushing touchdowns and also recorded a career high 6 receptions last weekend. Look for Gordon to stay hot, and take advantage of his underpriced tag while you still can.
Goat 2: Jordan Howard @ IND $7200
It looks like I'll be using the same running backs as last week and I'm perfectly fine with that since it worked like a charm. In Howard's first start, he ran the ball 23 times for an impressive 111 yards. Howard also doesn't have to worry about splitting carries with anyone and Bears coach John Fox has already stated that Howard is their guy again this week. Expect similar results from Howard this weekend against a Colts defense that is suspect against the run.
Wide Receiver
Goat 1: Odell Beckham Jr @ GB $8500
I'm a little scared rostering Beckham because of the news coming out of New York that he isn't having fun, plus he's been a giant baby so far this season. However, the matchup is a juicy one this weekend against my Green Bay Packers. With no Sam Shields, the Packers secondary has really struggled against wide receivers. Marvin Jones JR torched them for 205 yards and 2 tds and Stefon Diggs also torched them the week before for 182 yards and a score. My only concern is that Green Bay focuses on shutting down Beckham, which would then leave rookie Sterling Shepard in an amazing spot. I will probably roster both separately in different lineups this weekend, but I'm expecting Beckham to finally have his first breakout game in 2016.
Goat 2: Amari Cooper vs SD $7200
This situation is similar to the one above. Cooper is in a tremendous spot against a Chargers secondary that has been terrible at covering WRs. But I could also see them focusing on Cooper, leaving Michael Crabtree to be the guy you want this weekend. Either way, Cooper has the chance to have a monster game, especially with all the pass attempts I believe Derek Carr will have on Sunday.
Tight End
Goat 1: Rob Gronkowski @ CLE $7200
Gronk has done nothing this season. You can imagine how happy he (and his fantasy owners) are to get Tom Brady back under center. Brady targets Gronk a ton and I'm fairly certain we will get to see a classic Gronk Spike in the end zone this Sunday. I'm not a huge fan of the price tag since he's literally done nothing so far, but he is certainly worth a look because he is the best Tight End in football when Brady is at QB.
Goat 2: Richard Rodgers vs NYG $5000
Aside from the Oakland/San Diego game, another game I want to target is the Packers and Giants game. Tight End Jared Cook has been ruled out this Sunday, leaving Rodgers in charge of the position in the Packers offense this week. His price tag makes him more than affordable, especially when Aaron Rodgers is the guy that will be getting him the ball. Expect Rodgers to be a reliable play, and an even better one if he reaches the end zone Sunday night.
Mason Crosby vs NYG $4500
If you need to save money (as you should with kickers anyways) then Crosby should probably be your play on Sunday. He is the cheapest kicker in the slate, yet plays for an offense that has lots of scoring potential on Sunday. He has yet to miss a FG this season, and could be in line for plenty of work, as Green Bay's offense has typically had a field day in primetime games at Lambeau Field.
LA Rams vs BUF $4700
Other than week 1, the Rams defense has been one of the best defenses in football. They create tons of turnovers and also get consistent pressure on QB's. Tyrod Taylor and the Bills offense is far from impressive, and the Rams defense should eat again this Sunday. I am locking them in on Fanduel and Draft Kings as I am anticipating 10+ points from them again this Sunday.
Hopefully some of these guys help you win some money this weekend!!! Monstars out.

11h05 Introduction: Driven by Youth Overview
40 years ago, the youth of '76 collectively stood for something they believed in – and won. Although our social, political & economic perspective has long since changed, there's a new kind of consciousness awakening in the youth today. They realise their power. They are positively progressive – but also increasingly prone to the dangers of dwindling patriotism and underage drinking. How do we as brands help them make responsible decisions while navigating brand new risks and opportunities in the quest to influence purchasing behaviour?

11h50 Panel Discussion: The Parents vs. the Youth
You won't get an opportunity like this very often: a sit down with the people who buy your brand – and the people who influence the people who buy your brand. It's like being a fly on the wall right inside your consumer's home! Join us for this insightful session where the views of parents vs youth will be turned into thoughts that every marketing and advertising stakeholder ought to know.

12h15 Presentation: Personal Brand: Leverage
More and more, well known personalities understand the importance of their own brand equity. And since everyone wants to be seen with the popular guy or girl… it's still common practise for a brand to associate itself with a celebrity, thought leader, or even social media influencers. This is a good thing. But it can also be a bad thing if an individual you have publicly underwritten with your brand gets into a situation that does not fit your image anymore.

Looking for something where i could upload a product feed with image names and it would create a video for each product based on the feed info like price, features, etc. I need it for an ecommerce product catalog but there might be something similar used for real estate listings etc. Does Animoto or any of those sites have an api that could accomplish this?

From the Wall Street Journal:
A vast construction site in the heart of London is a testament to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s $500 million bet on the city's global financial clout.
But the bank's new European headquarters might be a little emptier than planned if the U.K. votes in June to leave the European Union, Goldman's executives say.
The warning underscores a twist in what is turning into an increasingly fractious fight over whether the U.K. should opt for"Brexit": the business groups that have the most to lose are neither European nor British.
No one knows what exactly would happen if the U.K. voted to leave the EU. The process could take years. The U.K. might be able to negotiate access for its banks to the EU. Or it might not.
But faced with the prospect of spending billions of dollars to rejig their operations, banks have been lobbying intensively against Brexit.
Among those leading the charge is Goldman Sachs. For three years, the bank's executives have publicly warned about the downsides of leaving the EU. The bank has donated around $700,000 to a group which is lobbying against Brexit, according to a person familiar with the matter. Its executives have signed warning letters to major British newspapers. An EU flag currently flutters above its London headquarters. Last fall the bank organized events on the sidelines of opposition Labour and governing Conservative party conferences to debate the role of the U.K. in Europe.
…About a decade ago, Goldman launched project "Armada," a plan for a hulking European headquarters on the site of an old telephone exchange in London.
Unbundling this kind of structure will be expensive and time-consuming, lawyers and bankers say.

Just like other countries, Easter is celebrated with the same enthusiasm and zeal in Romania. It is a very special day for all the Christians all around the world. Easter is marked as a day when Jesus resurrected after his crucifixion. People start their day on Easter Sunday by attending a special service in the church in the morning which is then followed by a feast.
Easter is celebrated in the same style and fashion Romania as it is celebrated around the world. But there are still certain customs and traditions that make Easter unique in a few nations. Similarly, Easter in Romania also has a few unique rituals that make it stand out from the rest of the world.
Romania consists of a few orthodox Christians and therefore Easter in Romania is as per the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Easter season is full of special flowers and the week before Easter is a special week. The Saturday is known as Lazarus Saturday followed by Palm Day or Flower Day, Great Thursday, Great Friday, Easter, The Small Fountain and the Good People's Easter. On all of these days a special ritual is done. Easter in Romania continues for a week and gets over with Good People's Easter which is celebrated to honor the ancient spirits.
The Great Friday which is also known as the Friday of sufferings, fall before Easter. On this day Jesus was crucified. Saturday is known as Holy Saturday and Christians go to church to attend the midnight mass. They take with them a basket filled with eggs, steak and Pasca which is blessed by the priest. Once the mass is over, people first start their meal by eating from this blessed food and then go ahead with the rest of the meal.
Holy Thursday is a day of activities as people paint eggs in bright colors. The most important color is red followed by other colors like blue, yellow, black and green. In Romania, the decorated eggs are known as 'oua incondeiate' which are considered to be an important part of Easter celebration. For the decoration, round and thin sticks that are made of beech wood known as chisita are used.
Easter in Romania also includes special recipes and delicacies like Easter cake which is known as Pasca. This cake is baked on Great Thursday and is usually baked in a rectangle or a round shape. The egg shells which are used in the Pasca are thrown away in a nearby river. This ritual of throwing the shells is believed to flow to the Good People which announces that coming of Easter.
In regions like Transylvania and Bucovinia, this ritual is known as "the wetting". In this ritual, on Monday morning boys go to the houses of unmarried girls and if they found them sleeping, they throw a bucket of water on them. As per this ritual, girls are believed to marry soon and they give the most brightly decorated egg and Pasca to the boy who wetted them. Easter in Romania is therefore a blend of different traditions and rituals.

Bon Jovi taking political tips from Al Gore?December 4th, 2007 - 3:44 pm ICT by admin
London, Dec 4 (ANI): Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has further fuelled speculations that he is set for a political career after having a two-hour chat with ex-US vice-president Al Gore.
The 48-year-old rocker, who is reportedly looking forward to become governor in his home state of New Jersey, met the former vice president on Nov 30.
"They both love music and were discussing Robert Plant's new album. But they weren't talking about music for two hours, Mirror quoted an insider, as saying.
"Politics came up, too. Maybe Jon was getting some tips," the insider added.
Bon Jovi supported Gore during the closely fought 2000 American presidential campaign. He was one of the first to sign up to Gore's Live Earth concerts. The two have also discussed how to make tours more eco-friendly. (ANI)

Download Mystic Messenger For PC from Online Apps For PC.
And as the game unfolds in an "app" the interaction you have with all the characters is through this app and chat messages throughout the day. Including calls! I thought this was great! (The voices are in Korean). Each character is reflected very well in the chats, as it is "private" everyone uses their own emoticons based on them; to express variations use different font or bubble, all very adorable~
also get notifications telling you that a new message has arrived or that has opened a new chat. If you miss a conversation you can only read it without participating in it, you can also pay with "hourglasses" to participate even if you missed it.
These hourglasses are obtained by buying them (real money) or for free, some are appearing throughout the game. Also, when you make an option that increases the affinity with a character you get a heart, by completing 100 hearts you can change them for 1 hourglass.
You can go shopping for "days" to advance faster, using hourglasses. In total each route lasts 11 days, of which 4 are general conversations where you gain affinity.

Safe choice among the lighter inner tubes.
Works great as a spare or main tire. I like using latex tubes for racings but these are my go-to spare because they are a bit more durable and can withstand some knocking about in the saddlebag or jersey pocket.
tube had a hole in it....
Excellent tubes, very light, a little expensive. Will keep looking for a cheaper vendor.
I bought these tubes to use in my first triathlon. They arrived the day before the race. I installed them, but one of the tubes would not hold air. I discovered a tiny hole in that brand new tube. I left the other tube installed, but the next morning I noticed the tire was flat. After removal, I found a 1 inch long split in the rubber. Fortunately, there was enough time to install standard weight Kenda tubes prior to my race. I e-mailed Western Bike Works (WBW) the next day to notify them of the faulty tubes. They gave me a prompt refund of the cost of the tubes, so kudos to WBW. Excellent customer service!
A quality light-weight tube. Does what it should. Not stupid expensive.
The only potential negatives to me are the price and the box size. The Vittoria tube is very similar, cheaper, and comes in a small enough package to fit in your jersey pocket.
I use this tube along with a set of Continental 4000S tire and Mavic Elite rims to make a nice light weight set up with out breaking the bank.
Paired these tubes with 700x23mm Conti 4000s tires, the combination is mounted on HED Ardennes FR clinchers and I'm a happy man. Great ride, good road feel, finishing the rides feeling fresh and so far No flats! I would recommend this set up to a friend.
works fine
Great product keeps the pressure almost all week.
Touring and road riding in the city - lots of glass. tires have good puncture resistance yet light weight.
Nothing too remarkable, other than they work great.
Use these tubes in a racing or training application. They have a great feel, and conti makes their tubes without seams which makes patching a breeze.
These are pretty much risk free in spite of their weight. I rarely flat. Every once in a while, a tube will burst during inflation after installation. Probably user error...
Been using this tube for years mostly with Vittoria Rubino Pro's with a fairly high PSI (110-120). I get pretty good milage out of these on my road bike, commuter bike, and track bike.
Not the lightest tubes but does it matter if they minimize flats.
Two in a row burst while inflating - had barely gotten up to 90psi
Both the tubes I ordered split along the seam during initial inflation, one immediately and the other overnight.
I got these this year since I've started racing as well as doing more high climb centuries (9000 - 11,000 ft) to save weight. However, I'm switching back to Tour 700s because I've been having so many pinch flats during training rides. The rural roads around here have plenty of potholes, rocks, debris, etc. and I got stranded 50 miles from home yesterday with two pinch flats (one on my rear tire and then another on my spare).
Have used these Continental Race light tubes in 700x25 (Michelin) racing and training tires for several years. No problems. Stems work well with screw-on, shop and bike-mounted, pumps (Lezyne.) Sometimes I deflate slightly after ride, sometimes I just leave them at 110 psi. Doesn't seem to make any difference. (Although I still feel, from the old sew-days, that stretched rubber should be allowed to rest after a ride.) I would give it 5-stars except can't see calling any plain-ol' bike tube awesome and a steal. ,-

Organized as part of the week of workshops, forums, rides, and other events, a panel discussion will take place Tuesday, May 14 from 5-8 at Bar Alexandraplatz, featuring a panel of women cyclists who will be sharing their experiences of navigating Montreal on two wheels, and highlighting issues that are of particular interest to women cyclists.
From the Coalition's description of the program developed for Urban Cycling Week:
"Montreal Urban Bike Week was born of a simple intention: to survey the Montreal community and discover issues that are important to cyclists. A public appeal to the various stakeholders involved in Montreal cycling has led to a rich program covering several themes: cycling infrastructure, sharing the road, personal safety, regulations, mobilization, adaptation and maintenance of equipment for urban cycling, local initiatives, female / feminist perspectives, art and activism."
