Today, we're excited to announce Azure SDK 2.8.2 for Visual Studio 2015. This release includes some user interface, validation improvements and engineering optimizations to improve the App Service developer experience. This post will summarize the new features being released in the Azure SDK 2.8.2.
Azure SDK 2.8.2 for .NET
[download for VS 2015]
- User interface improvements: We've improved the exception-handling logic in the provisioning experience and added UI cues to inform you during the App Service creation process of potential issues that may affect your deployments
- Engineering improvements: Some performance tweaks have been made to improve the overall time-to-provision your App Service app code to Azure, as well as a series of engineering improvements that pave the way for advances in the future
- Azure Resource Management (ARM) template export improvements: ARM template export now drops both the template and parameters files, so the exported files work more effortlessly with the Azure Resource Group Visual Studio project template
App Service tools user interface improvements
Following the Azure SDK 2.8.1 release, which included numerous leaps forward for App Service developers and a wholly redesigned experience, we had some great feedback from customers and teammates that a few minor UI cues and hints would go a long way towards making sure App Service users are able to quickly see if a topology creation had potential issues before they had to see deployment errors. We also took the opportunity to handle those errors more gracefully in the UI. Azure SDK 2.8.2 was our opportunity to create a pit of success for App Service users, and mitigate some obvious scenarios in which users experience issues during app creation.
Improved Resource Group creation cues
One of the assumptions about Resource Group creation we made during the Azure 2.8.1 SDK timeframe was providing a simple textbox for new Resource Groups would be intuitive. Late during testing we realized we could make the new Resource Group experience more obvious. In SDK 2.8.2, we've added visual cues to the UI to inform users there's a clear path to new group creation. The UI auto-selects a Resource Group, but we've added a new button providing placeholder text to let users know what's about to happen.
Mitigating (and handling) deployment errors
What if, during my topology creation for a SQL-backed Web App, I want to create a SQL Server database but mistakenly click the Delete button for the SQL Server resource? This would lead to an ARM template in an invalid state; since the SQL Server Database resource depends on a new (or existing) SQL Server resource, the Azure Resource Manager would disallow the template and result in a deployment error. Instead of allowing me to create this situation in my topology, the App Service tools now inform me that things could get ugly if I try to submit this template.
In the unforeseen case where the management API encounters an issue during provisioning, this same dialog is used, but we provide the exception details in a much more elegant manner than in the previous release. Though this is a contrived example in which a SQL Server was deleted that I intended on using for a new SQL Server database, the UI improvement is obvious – rather than simply "message-boxing" the exception returned from the Azure API, we're doing more to capture the exceptions gracefully and allow for simple copying the contents of the deeper exception out to a file.
Connection string setup
To ease the out-of-the-box "File – New Project" scenario for ASP.NET developers accustomed to the DefaultConnection connection string defaults that are dropped in our ASP.NET project templates or to make it easy to change the name of the connection string as it'd be in the App Service deployed environment, we've added the "Connection String Name" textbox to the SQL Server database provisioning experience.
Engineering improvements
Through blog post comments, forums, and the Visual Studio Feedback Center, we learned of some hangs during App Service provisioning. We worked with some great customers who were eager to share stack traces confirming some results we'd seen in our own test environments. An upcoming performance optimization already in queue was confirmed to repair the provisioning issue, so we're excited to announce that the Azure SDK 2.8.2 mitigates this issue and has been fully tested for various deployment scenarios.
We've also made tweaks to certain areas of the App Service tooling that allow it to be more intelligent and to give us more abilities to respond to API changes without having to re-ship the entire App Service tooling extension. These features give us the ability to shield customers from minor changes in the APIs that would've previously required hotfixes or manual updates. These features, along with other steps we've taken towards opening up the "resource cart" idea to other partners, are proving to be exciting components in the future of Azure tooling.
Azure Resource Manager template export improvements
To provide developers an on-ramp to bootstrapping ARM templates In the Azure SDK 2.8.1, we introduced the "Export button," which allows you to edit the ARM template created in the App Service app creation window. This way, once your topology is setup using the App Service app creation dialog and you've finished adding additional resources like SQL databases to your Resource Group, you can easily export the topology in one click.
Now, the export process drops both a template and a separate parameters file, as shown in the Explorer window below.
Once I create a new Azure Resource Group project, I can import the files I exported from the App Service app creation dialog into my new Resource Group project and make changes or setup additional environment-specific parameters files. Once I'm ready to deploy, a simple right-click Deploy on the project will give me the opportunity to execute my ARM template and provision an entirely separate, yet mirrored, environment.
If you don't already have an Azure account, you can sign-up for a free one and start using all of the above features today. Also, if you're interested in how simple it can be to get started with your very own pre-built app using Try App Service. Then visit the Azure Developer Center to learn more about how to build apps with it.
Please submit bugs through Connect, suggestions through UserVoice, and quick thoughts or ideas through Send-a-smile in the Visual Studio IDE.

Differences between not in, not exists , and left join with null
It seems to me that you can do the same thing in a SQL query using either NOT EXISTS, NOT IN, or LEFT JOIN WHERE IS NULL. For example:
SELECT a FROM table1 WHERE a NOT IN (SELECT a FROM table2)
SELECT a FROM table1 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE table1.a = table2.a)
SELECT a FROM table1 LEFT JOIN table2 ON table1.a = table2.a WHERE table1.a IS NULL
I'm not sure if I got all the syntax correct, but these are the general techniques I've seen. Why would I choose to use one over the other? Does performance differ…? Which one of these is the fastest / most efficient? (If it depends on implementation, when would I use each one?)
In a nutshell:
NOT IN is a little bit different: it never matches if there is but a single NULL in the list.
In MySQL, NOT EXISTS is a little bit less efficient
In SQL Server, LEFT JOIN / IS NULL is less efficient
In PostgreSQL, NOT IN is less efficient
In Oracle, all three methods are the same.

During last week's CETIS conference I ran a session that assessed how ebooks can function as an educational medium beyond the paper textbook.
After reminding ourselves that etextbooks are not yet as widespread as ebook novels, and that paper books generally are still more widely read, we examined what ebook features make a good educational experience.
Though many features could have been mentioned, the majority were still about the experience itself. Top of the bill: formative assessment at the end of a chapter. Either online or offline, it needs to be interactive, and there need to be a lot of items readily available. Other notable features in the area include a desire for contextualised discussion about a text. Global is good, but chats limited to other learners in a course is better. A way of asking for clarification of a teacher by highlighting text was another notable request.
These features were then compared to what is currently the state of the art. Colin Smythe presented the latest EDUPUB work from IMS, IDPF and the W3C which integrates both VLEs and books, as well as analytics and assessment platforms. The solution is slick, and entirely web based. This contrasts with the solution I demoed before the formal EDUPUB work started. Unlike IMS' example, my experiment does work in most any ebook software, but it doesn't include IMS' Caliper analytics capability.
But then Mick Chesterman of Flossmanuals and Manchester Metropolitan University reminded us that reading features aren't the only ones worth considering. The open source Booktype platform allows communities to quickly and easily write books collaboratively, and then clone, share or merge them in a process called 'federated publishing'.
The editability of standard, EPUB format ebooks also introduced the core question: what is the difference between an ebook and a web site? The interactivity and media support that is now possible in ebooks is blurring the distinction, but features such as the possibility of editing could prove a key distinction.
Another distinction, but one that may not persist, is a book's persistence itself. With more functionality living outside of the book, on servers on the wider internet, how will a book endure? While intermittent connectivity means that offline access is still desirable now, will the ever increasing ubiquity of bandwidth spell the end for self-contained media?

Dallas Employment Lawyer
D Magazine, "Best Lawyers in Dallas" - 2016-2017
Texas Monthly, Super Lawyer - 2014-2023
Texas Monthly, Super Lawyer Rising Star - 2005, 2009-2013
The right Dallas employment lawyer makes a difference. Whether you're an employee, contractor, or an employer, you want solutions to your employment law problems. You want an innovative advisor and an aggressive litigator. And, above all else, you want a firm hand to personally guide you through the process--not some "mix-and-match" combination of junior lawyers or paralegals.
Employment attorney Barry Hersh delivers strategic advice and intelligent litigation solutions for individuals and businesses faced with today's most pressing workplace issues: overtime pay, non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, commissions and bonus disputes, wrongful termination, sexual harassment, independent contractor misclassification, and other complex employment litigation.
Barry also drafts, reviews, and negotiates severance agreements, non-compete agreements, and other employment contracts, and assists individuals and businesses in minimizing the legal obstacles often associated with ending an employment relationship and other workplace disputes.
Barry opened his Dallas employment law firm in 2004 to provide employees and employers with tenacious representation and savvy legal advice explained in easily understood terms--not legalese. Because his law firm represents "both sides," Barry understands from experience what motivates plaintiffs and defendants in workplace disputes. This dual perspective, and Barry's focus on business-minded solutions, shapes not just his litigation strategy, but also his employment law firm's approach to resolving workplace disputes.
Who better than Barry's peers to recognize that his practical and personalized approach works? In 2016 and 2017, D Magazine recognized Barry as one of the "Best Lawyers in Dallas" in the Labor and Employment Law category. Texas' top lawyers and Texas Monthly have selected Barry as a "Texas Super Lawyer" from 2014 to 2024, and a "Texas Super Lawyer Rising Star" from 2009 to 2013.
Barry and his employment law firm represent clients throughout the state of Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Allen, McKinney, Frisco, Southlake, Irving, Richardson, Mesquite, Garland, Arlington, Grand Prairie, Denton, Sherman, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, Tyler, Wichita Falls, and more.
Contact Dallas employment lawyer Barry Hersh to schedule a consultation, understand your employment law rights and obligations, or to begin the process of recovering unpaid overtime pay and other compensation owed to you.
Texas Board of Legal Specialization
General Information
If you're an employee or employer interested in obtaining a consultation with Dallas employment attorney Barry Hersh or retaining his law firm's services, we encourage you to submit your information to the law firm through the Contact Us page on this website. Generally, submitting information through the website is quicker than submitting information by telephone. This is especially true when Barry is in court, mediation, depositions, or client meetings.
The law firm requires online submission of information--at least initially--to determine whether the law firm can assist a potential client. This means that, if you called the law firm and only left a voicemail, you should submit your information online through the law firm's Contact Us page.
When you submit your information online, please be sure to provide us with enough information to determine whether or not Barry can assist you as well as whether the law firm is conflicted from providing you representation.
If you're an employee with a wrongful termination, non-compete agreement, overtime pay, unpaid commission, employment discrimination (e.g. pregnancy discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, race discrimination, etc.), retaliation, workplace harassment, severance agreement, independent contractor misclassification, or other employment law issue, this means that you should include your full name, e-mail address, telephone number, the name of your employer or about whom your case concerns, your dates of employment, and your annual compensation or rate of pay, as well as a sentence or two explaining your situation. This information is very important. The law firm generally does not reply to inquiries that merely contain an individual's name and no other information, or that state little more than "Please call me" or something similar. Be sure to include a working e-mail address where the law firm can reply to you.
If you're an employer or small business with employees or independent contractors in Texas and you're interested in obtaining Barry's employment law help, be sure to provide your name, telephone number, the name of your company or organization, and general description of your situation. It is also helpful if you expressly state that you are an employer. Dallas employment lawyer Barry Hersh drafts and reviews executive severance release agreements, employment contracts, and Texas non-compete agreements; creates and revises employment handbooks; performs wage and hour audits and overtime pay and independent contractor classification audits; investigates workplace discrimination and workplace harassment claims; performs on-site employment law training; provides day-to-day human resources and personnel law counseling, and represents businesses involved in Texas employment litigation before the Texas Workforce Commission, Texas Labor Board, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), state and federal courts, and before arbitrators and mediators.
If our Dallas employment lawyer or the Hersh employment law firm is unable to represent you, we will make every effort to refer you to another Dallas employment law firm that handles employment litigation, civil rights, or workplace law.
Information that potential clients provide to the Hersh Law Firm in response to our e-mailed intake questionnaires will be treated as confidential to the extent permitted under the law. If you're an employee, you should never submit information to the law firm from or while using any computer, printer, scanner, fax machine, e-mail, cell phone, tablet, or other network device, hardware, or software belonging to or monitored by your employer. This may destroy the confidential nature of your information. Also, please note that a consultation, telephone call, or e-mail to Dallas attorney Barry Hersh will not create an attorney-client relationship. No attorney-client relationship exists with the Hersh Law Firm or Dallas employment lawyer Barry Hersh and you unless and until a written representation agreement is executed.
Barry Hersh is certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. According to the State Bar of Texas, less than one percent of Texas' 87,000 licensed attorneys are certified in Labor and Employment Law. Barry is licensed to practice law by the Texas Supreme Court in all state courts in Texas, the federal U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Eastern District of Texas, Southern District of Texas, and Western District of Texas, and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Dallas employment lawyers like Barry Hersh handle the following types of employment law matters: pregnancy discrimination, religious discrimination, religious harassment, race discrimination, color discrimination, sex discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, sexual harassment in the workplace, gender harassment, racial harassment, gender discrimination, national origin discrimination, employment retaliation, workers' compensation retaliation, unpaid overtime and related overtime pay disputes, whistleblower claims, wrongful termination in violation of public policy/Sabine Pilot, breach of employment agreement, breach of employment contract, unpaid commissions, unpaid bonuses, claims for other unpaid or denied compensation or benefits, and employee stock option claims.
Employment law firms in Dallas, like the Hersh Law Firm PC, handle claims arising under numerous employment law-related statutes, including claims for violations of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (discrimination against women because they are pregnant), Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)(age discrimination), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) (race discrimination, gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, racial harassment, national origin discrimination, religious discrimination, retaliation, and failure to provide a religious accommodation), Civil Rights Act of 1866 (race discrimination, national origin discrimination, retaliation), Equal Pay Act (EPA), Texas Labor Code, Texas Pay Day Act, Texas Commission on Human Rights Act (TCHRA) (race discrimination, sex discrimination, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, racial harassment, national origin discrimination, religious discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and failure to provide a religious accommodation), Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)(child labor laws, unpaid overtime, wage and hour claims), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)(retaliation for taking pregnancy leave, paternity leave, maternity leave, medical leave, or leave to care for a sick relative), Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notice Act (WARN)(mass layoffs, plant closings), Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)(denial of benefits and retaliation), USERRA (employment discrimination against employees in the military), the retaliation provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and other federal, state and local employment laws.
Employment lawyer Barry Hersh and the Hersh employment law firm also can assist you with the review and negotiation of a severance agreement, termination agreement, separation agreement, release agreement, and other post employment agreements. These agreements generally are offered in exchange for a release of claims against a former employer. The terms of these separation agreements, termination agreements, severance agreements, release agreements, and other post employment agreements may dramatically affect your employee rights, including whether you may bring or maintain a lawsuit against a former employer.
Barry represents employees and employers before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) (formerly known as the Texas Commission on Human Rights (TCHR) (also known as the Texas Labor Board)), and the U.S. Department of Labor.

Avon to Cut 1500 Jobs and Exit 2 Markets
NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2012 -- Avon Products, Inc. today outlined initial steps toward the company's previously communicated annual cost-savings target of $400 million by the end of 2015.
Initial steps of the cost-savings initiative will include a targeted global headcount reduction of approximately 1,500 positions and related actions. The company also announced today that it will exit the South Korea and Vietnam markets. These actions are aimed at concentrating resources on high priority markets and activities and boosting efficiencies, and are expected to be largely completed before the end of 2013.
Cost to implement these actions is expected to be in the range of $80-90 million before taxes, of which approximately $50-60 million is expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. The company anticipates that these initial steps will account for approximately 20% of the total targeted savings.
"In order to turn around the business, we are focused on driving top-line growth and aggressively managing our cost base," said Sheri McCoy, Chief Executive Officer, Avon Products, Inc. "The decisions outlined today are necessary to stabilize the company and begin the process of returning Avon to sustainable growth."
The company expects to communicate additional steps toward the cost-savings goal as it progresses.

Welcome to the website of the Stichting Oosters Instituut.
Stichting Oosters Instituut ('Foundation The Oriental Institute') is a chartered charity under Dutch law, established in Leiden, The Netherlands. The Oosters Instituut was founded in Leiden in 1927 by friends, colleagues and well-wishers of the Dutch islamologist Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje (1857-1936) at the occasion of his 70th birthday, which marked his retirement from active academic life. The foundation was originally meant to stimulate and co-ordinate scholarly and academic initiatives in connection with Oriental studies in The Netherlands. The foundation's initial capital came from gifts made by friends, colleagues and well-wishers of Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje in The Netherlands, the Dutch East-Indies and abroad.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – A 14-year-old boy who allegedly told deputies he dropped a lighter as he was trying to smoke pot in a field Sunday sparked a 40-acre blaze that briefly threatened some 50 homes and forced evacuations before it was contained, authorities said.
The boy from Saugus, one of four people detained in connection with the blaze, was booked on suspicion of arson, Los Angeles County sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker said.
Another 14-year-old boy had joined the suspect and helped him try to put out the fire. When they failed they fled, and after tips from neighbors both boys were detained, Parker said.
Parker said when the first boy confessed he was arrested and the other boy was let go. No charges were planned for the second boy, Parker said. The boys' names were withheld because of their age.
Also, a 33-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy who both stood dangerously close to the fire and ignored pleas from authorities to leave the area were arrested for obstructing firefighters, Parker said.
The two men were not connected but in separate incidents both prevented helicopters from dropping water and had to be rescued before they were arrested, he said.
The adult suspect, Anthony Fierro, ran from firefighters who tried to remove him, and when deputies arrived to detain him he made an obscene gesture at them and ran toward the fire, Parker said.
The teen, whose name was not released, was spotted running around in the fire zone without shirt or shoes. When he disappeared, authorities had to hold back water drops and other efforts while they looked for him. He returned to the area with different clothes and was arrested. Parker said the boy told deputies he was trying to help the firefighters.
"They endangered the community, endangered the firefighters and endangered our deputies," Parker said.
Parker said it's bizarre that even one person would interfere with a firefight in that way, much less two on the same day.
"This is extremely rare, especially in the Santa Clarita area, where the community is extremely cooperative and extremely helpful," he said. "Most people have sufficient common sense to know that if we tell them to get out of the area, they need to get out. But some people think they know everything."
Deputies reached by phone late Sunday did not know if any of the three suspects in custody had hired attorneys.
The fire was reported shortly before 2 p.m. in the Santa Clarita area about 40 miles north of Los Angeles, said county fire Inspector Frederic Stowers.
Deputies knocked on about 50 doors asking residents to leave before the fire moved north toward Los Padres National Forest and away from homes.
About 150 firefighters from multiple agencies and four water-dropping helicopters had it contained about three hours after it started, Stowers said.
Fire crews were up against hot weather and dry gusty winds, Stowers said.
"They're dealing with brush that's being pushed by the wind, and the firefighters had to use an aggressive attack to hold it that small," he said.
Associated Press Writer Christopher Weber contributed to this report.

UNHCR welcomes new refugee law in Mexico
UNHCR welcomes new refugee law in Mexico
The UN refugee agency welcomes a new law adopted by Mexico on protection of refugee and asylum seekers. The new law was formally signed by President Felipe Calderón on Wednesday, by which the law enters into force.
Entitled the "Law on Refugees and Complementary Protection", it was earlier passed by the Senate and the Lower Chamber in 2010. Mexico signed the 1951 Refugee Convention and its Protocol in 2000 and has a history of protecting asylum seekers and refugees. But, until now, Mexico lacked a specific legal framework as previous laws did not comply with international standards.
The new law incorporates Mexico's good practices on refugees, such as permission to work, access to health services including health insurance, access to education and revalidation of studies.
Drafted in 2009 by the Mexican Refugee Commission with UNHCR's technical support, it includes definitions of a refugee as per the 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees as well the Cartagena Declaration. It also considers gender as grounds for persecution.
Mexico will grant complementary protection for people not considered as refugees but whose life has been threatened or could be at risk of torture, ill treatment, or other forms of cruel inhuman treatment.
This law conforms to international law and standards, as it includes the principle of non-refoulement (no forced returns), non-discrimination, and no penalty for irregular entry, the family unity principle, the best interests of the child, and confidentiality, among others.
Mexico continues receiving refugees from Latin American countries (mainly from Colombia, Haiti, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala) but also extra-regional refugees (from DR Congo, Sri Lanka, Iraq, Iran, Nepal, Nigeria, and Myanmar, among others).

In Frances Ha, a splendidly modest black-and-white film directed by Noah Baumbach, Greta Gerwig (who is also the film's co-writer) stars as Frances, 27, an idiosyncratic, free-spirited aspiring modern dancer living in Brooklyn. Her world turns upside down when her roommate and BFF, Sophie (Mickey Sumner), meets a fella and decides to move out. Sophie then moves into another Brooklyn pad with two young guys, Lev (Girls' Adam Driver) and Benji (Michael Zegen), as she tries to find some direction in her life.
The film is one of the best so far this year—a romantic meditation on life as a directionless millennial suffering for her art in New York City. Or, the plight of the hipster.
The Daily Beast sat down with real-life couple Baumbach and Gerwig, who had also collaborated on 2010's Greenberg, to discuss hipsterdom.
Greta Gerwig: I lived in East Williamsburg, but like three or four stops in on the L, so I never lived in the heart of Williamsburg or Greenpoint. I don't really identify as a hipster, but I guess that's one of the defining traits of hipsters—that nobody identifies themselves as hipsters. I talked about this with my friends. I'm from Sacramento, and I've talked about this with people who aren't from a big city that's "cool"—I call them "high-confidence cities" versus "low-confidence cities." High-confidence cities are like Chicago, Portland, San Francisco. Low-confidence cities are like Knoxville, Sacramento, Detroit. Those are cities that don't feel quite as great about themselves. If I didn't know the connections of people being so mean about Williamsburg or mean about hipsters, if I was coming from Sacramento to New York and found this neighborhood where there was a bunch of people who wanted to be artists and liked good books and music and dressed cool and liked nice coffee, I'd be like, holy shit, I've found my home. It's only because there are all these bad connotations with it that people get nasty about it. But I think hipsters are great. At the heart of it, they care about music and care about art, and a lot of them are trying to be artists. If I didn't know that I was supposed to hate Williamsburg, I would love it.
Noah Baumbach: An interesting thing happened while we were shooting Frances with Adam [Driver], Greta, and Mike Zegen, who plays Benji. We had dressed them in outfits that felt right for the anthropology of the characters at this time. There's this sequence where they're saying goodbye to some guests—some girls—who are leaving. The girls leave, and the three of them turn back into the apartment and walk together and there's this moment of, where does Greta fit in this picture now? But visually when we did it, in black and white, it looks so French to me—like Band of Outsiders or some Godard movie. Adam had a hat on and a cardigan, Benji had this tie, and Greta has this dress. It was totally unintended to feel so French but I thought it was kind of interesting that this kind of wardrobe and these sort of styles have entered the culture. It's like old and new, and it's so now part of how people are dressing now. I kind of admire in a way how every style, every era, high-low culture—it's all embraced as one thing. It's problematic in some areas, but I'm also very impressed by that. When I was growing up, there definitely was not [a democraticness] among my friends and me, and we were in the '80s, but we were all looking back at the '70s and resisting the '80s. I feel like there's less of that now, and there's more of everything's cool. I kind of like that.
Greta Gerwig: I think the difference is when I've talked to people who remember New York in the '70s and remember what SoHo used to be like—that part of being an artist in New York. Even now, Williamsburg is so wildly expensive. I read something about how Kathryn Bigelow was really good friends with this person and what they did was rented lofts and fixed them up, and then would go rent another left and rented the one they fixed up for more money, and that's how they made money in downtown New York in the '70s when they were both trying to be artists. I feel like because things are so stratospherically expensive right now that that's less possible. But having a community that people think is obnoxious is a fine New York tradition.

8 Tips for Being Active in the Winter
A little creativity is needed to stay active in the winter. Short days, numerous layers of clothing, and stomach-filling holiday meals don't exactly inspire an after-work run, bike ride, or weekend kayak trip. But, instead of hibernating when the temperatures drop and the sun sets before you get home, use the season to expand the ways you stay active and mix up your workout routine.
The benefits of being active in winter are numerous, and you'll have a head start while everyone else is scrambling this spring to get into beach shape. In case you need a few ideas to get started, below are eight tips that will help get you out and keep you active this winter.
1. Run During Lunch
As winter days get shorter, take advantage of your midday break for lunch and fit in a quick run. It's usually the warmest time of day and safer than running at night. If you time it right, you can easily take 30 minutes and run a couple miles, and still have time to grab a bite or protein shake afterward. It might also give you a much-needed energy boost to power through the rest of the day.
2. Set up a Home Gym
You can get a surprisingly strong workout in a small space at home. Not much room is needed to knock out a few sets of pushups, dips, or crunches that will leave you feeling stronger and energized. Expanding the workout is also easy. Medicine balls and exercise bands are an inexpensive way throw a bit of variety into the workout.
3. Hit the Pool
We usually associate time at the pool with hot summer days, when we relax while the kids splash around to cool off. However, if you haven't hit the pool for a workout in a while, you might be surprised at how taxing it is. It may take some time to comfortably do a few laps, but the strength and cardio gains are worthwhile. Find a local recreation center or gym with an indoor pool for an invigorating workout, and experiment with different strokes and techniques to find out what works for you.
4. Take the Stairs
If you have stairs at your workplace or apartment, it won't take more than 5 or 10 minutes and a few flights of stairs to get some good exercise. It will help clear your mind when you're stuck on a project, provide some quick relief from the computer screen, and get the blood flowing. A jaunt up a few flights of stairs is a surprisingly easy and efficient way to burn a few calories and build leg strength for your next hiking trip.
5. Protect the Extremities and Layer Up
When you do brave the cold and head out for a run, bike ride, or any other outdoor activity, make sure your hands and head are covered. Heat loss happens quickest in these areas, and the wind robs you of heat as well. A good pair of running gloves will make all the difference on your next cold-weather run.
Also, dress in layers. The first layer should be a moisture-wicking material that has little or no cotton. For your top layer, wear something water- and wind-resistant that you can remove easily if you begin to get too hot.
6. Take a Class
Winter is the perfect time to join a class. There are different workout groups popping up everywhere, which will give you an extremely beneficial workout while you're protected from the elements. Many people find that they're more motivated during group workout and push themselves further than when they exercise alone. Plus, it's a fun way to meet new people. Whether it's yoga, Pilates, or Pure Barre, you can get a surprisingly strong workout and your body will feel better than ever.
7. Try a New Sport
There are many indoor sports that you have probably forgotten about, and winter is the perfect time to pick up a new one or revisit one you haven't played lately. Your local YMCA or recreation center should have a multi-use court that can be used for basketball, volleyball, or badminton. If you're ultra-competitive and usually play tennis, a game of squash may emerge as your new favorite winter activity. If you've ever wanted to try climbing, visit your local indoor climbing gym and try some bouldering or roped climbing. It's a great workout, and you'll get some of the knowledge and skills needed to climb outdoors.
8. Warm up and Cool Down
While a proper warm-up and cool-down period is a major component of a complete workout, this is even truer in winter. You're risking an injury if you run in cold weather without getting your body warmed up first.
A correct cool down in winter is important as well. You don't want to go for a cold-temperature run and quickly enter the house. Doing so will take your breath away. Give your body time to adjust by staying outdoors and walking with your layers still on for 5-10 minutes. Then, remove one layer at a time so your body temperature can safely adjust.

This section is created showing an example of African theatre across the world. Afro-Swedish history to be updated.
The minstrel shows of the early 19th century are believed by some to be the roots of African American theatre, but they initially were written by whites, acted by whites in blackface, and performed for white audiences. After the American Civil War, they began to perform in minstrel shows (then called "Ethiopian minstrelsy"), and by the turn of the 20th century, they were producing black musicals, many of which were written, produced, and acted entirely by blacks. The first known play by an African American was James Brown's King Shotaway (1823). William Wells Brown's The Escape; or, A Leap for Freedom (1858) was the first African American play published, but the first real success of a black dramatist was Angelina W. Grimké's Rachel (1916).
African American theatre flourished during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and '30s. Experimental groups and black theatre companies emerged in Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C. Among these was the Ethiopian Art Theatre, which established Paul Robeson as America's foremost black actor. Garland Anderson's play Appearances (1925) was the first play of black authorship to be produced on Broadway, but black theatre did not create a Broadway hit until Langston Hughes's Mulatto (1935) won wide acclaim. In that same year the Federal Theatre Project was founded, providing a training ground for blacks. In the late 1930s, African American community theatres began to appear, revealing talents such as those of Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. By 1940 black theatre was firmly grounded in the "American Negro Theater" and the Negro Playwrights' Company.
After World War II black theatre grew more progressive, more radical, and more militant, reflecting the ideals of black revolution and seeking to establish a mythology and symbolism apart from white culture. Councils were organized to abolish the use of racial stereotypes in theatre and to integrate African American playwrights into the mainstream of American dramaturgy. Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun (1959) and other successful black plays of the 1950s portrayed the difficulty of maintaining an identity in a society where you were often degraded.
In the 1960s there was the emergence of a new African American theatre movement, which reflected the political and social conditions in contrast to its predecessors. Amiri Baraka (originally LeRoi Jones) was one of its strongest proponents. Baraka's plays, including the award-winning Dutchman(1964), depicted whites' exploitation of blacks. He established the Black Arts Repertory Theatre in Harlem in 1965 and inspired playwright Ed Bullins and others seeking to create a strong "black aesthetic" in American theatre. During the 1980s and '90s August Wilson, Suzan-Lori Parks, and George Wolfe were among the most important creators of black theatre. Their plays celebrated the history of the Black/African American experience in the arts and culture at different points in US history.

My visit coincides with the publication of an important report on the topic by the Spanish Ombudsman. The Canary Islands need support as they cope with this situation, including for the relocation of unaccompanied children. All arriving people need the benefit of clear procedures, including regarding how they can make an asylum application, if they so wish. The Fundamental Rights Agency will play its part in supporting this region, Spain and the European Union as they face the responsibilities."

A unique martial arts program geared towards 5,6 and 7 year olds, teaching life skills and coordination
Master Fry Defense Systems has been offering professional martial arts training to the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area for almost three decades. All levels of martial arts from basic self-defense to advanced hand-to hand combat techniques are taught by certified instructors. For those interested in cardio conditioning, we offer a full schedule of kickboxing classes, all taught by certified instructors skilled in proper defensive and fitness techniques. Personal training and private instruction is available as well.

He is an 8th Degree Black Belt with over 36 years of dedication to teaching children and adults at all levels. Check out the Our Instructors page to learn about our experienced and professional staff.
A benefit of training is improved self-confidence. Anyone can participate in Taekwondo – all at various levels of proficiency– and everyone can progress and feel a sense of accomplishment. This allows the student to gain confidence in his or her own abilities while learning to deal effectively with peers.
The number of women in Taekwondo has more than tripled in recent years, and today represents more than 30% of all practicing students. Much of this interest can be attributed to the nature of Taekwondo technique which can be readily adapted to a woman''s physical structure.
You can! Taekwondo offers a "learning style" athletic activity that develops a combination of balance, coordination, and flexibility while instilling a sense of self-discipline that can carry into all aspects of life.
Instruction is beneficial to children as young as 5-years old, Pre-teens and Teenagers, Adults of all ages, and Seniors. Remember ... students progress at their own rate. One need not be an "athlete" to participate in the benefits of our Taekwondo, Hapkido or Kickboxing programs.
Beginners are enrolling every day, so whether you are a beginner in martial arts or are seeking to improve you current skills, you can find the training that you want at Master Fry Defense Systems.
"My child came here 2 years ago as a timid 10 year old...he is now a much more confident young man, willing to stay the course thanks to Master Fry''s Taekwondo." "Taekwondo has really helped my son in a number of ways. It has improved his self-esteem, confidence, focus, and attention. He has ADHD so I think it has improved his ability to focus on a task and pay attention." "I like how Master Fry Defense focuses on the whole person being a well-rounded individual and teaches not only Taekwondo, but respect for self, elders, peers and the community." "When I asked my 9-year old to describe his two years of instruction at Master Fry Defense Systems, he said, "It''s just awesome. Thanks for signing me up, Mom." "Three years ago, when we signed up, I would never have imagined that my niece would make it to Black Belt. She is growing into a confident young woman and learning to trust in her own talents and abilities. She takes pride in being a young leader." "I''ve been taking Kick Boxing from Master Fry and his team for over 6 years. It''s the only exercise regime that has kept me interested, made me strong, and changed my physique. I had such great results that I asked Master Fry to personally train me. As a motivator he is one of the best! You WILL see significant results." Follow Us

This chart shows how to play an arrangement of Good Friends with the guitar triads played with fingers 1,2 and 3 and bass notes in the thumb. It sounds good with the thumb pumping 8th notes to get a driving rock feel and the chords ringing out, which may take a little practice.
I include the opening vocal phrase to indicate which word falls on beat 1.
Chords are represented by six numbers which are the fret positions on the strings from bottom to top.
