Tutorial Series: Introduction to Unity with C# Series
Previous Article | Next Article
Alright. Now, we are at the point where we are going to dig deep into actually understanding how to write all this code that we have been learning thus far. We are at the stage that I call the 'fingers on the fret board' part of learning. That is a guitar reference, and I use it because it is an example of when you are first trying to learn something, you start with the most basic fundamentals that aren't always really that interesting to learn, kind of seem unnecessarily difficult, and are a bit of a struggle. The biggest struggle, usually, is at the beginning. I use this reference also because I am reminded of when I first learned how to play guitar. It was my first instrument I learned how to play. I was ten years old, and I distinctly remember trying to hold this guitar properly and get my little fingers onto the fret board, and back then thinking, "This is impossible." I thought, "How ridiculous, the effort required, to get only a single, solitary note." I had to press really hard and contort my hand in such an awkward and unintuitive way. It is really easy at these awkward and unintuitive early stages of learning something new, to have thoughts like, "Maybe this just isn't for me." "Maybe me and my little lady fingers just aren't built for guitar playing." Or, in this case, "Maybe my brain just isn't built to understand code." It is easy to think that way, but I came to find that if you don't quit, just as I didn't quit on learning to play guitar, you will probably come to find that, even just with cursory interest, bedogged persistence...
Persistence is always the most important factor in learning something new, I have come to find. Eventually, you will find that your brain just can't do anything but take in all that information, process it in the background subconsciously, until one day you will find yourself holding the guitar right and getting out notes with ease, or finding these hieroglyphic looking symbols called code starting to make sense. That is a pattern I have come to find in life, when learning something new, if you stick with it, eventually you'll look back and wonder what the big deal was to begin with. You barely even recall how it is to hold the guitar wrong. You can't help but hold it right, it just becomes second nature. The same thing with learning to read and write code. That is a life lesson I have used time and again to push through perceived obstacles, reminding myself of this pattern. Everyone goes through it, it is a normal part of learning. I am not going to candy coat it, we are at the part where I am not going to lie to you, things might seem at times a bit dry. You may not totally see how learning this one little, specific thing, that produces one little, specific result will translate into empowering you to be able to create really cool things. Trust me, it all relates, and just like putting your fingers on a fret board, it all eventually leads to the greater reward of you being able to get out your creative ideas.
Also, a quick note. A footnote I would like to give you on the reasons for choosing C#. Admittedly, this is a bit late in the game to mention this, but although this course uses C# as a language of choice when scripting Unity, you do have other options, most notably JavaScript, or actually an implementation of JavaScript. If you already know the syntax to JavaScript you can use that. There is no performance difference, and actually you can mix JavaScript scripts and C# scripts in the same project, because it all gets compiled down to the same base code in the end. But, any rate, C#, to me, seems like an ideal language of choice for learning how to program games, because it is object-oriented in nature. It is poised to receive even more attention and support going forward with Unity, Honestly, in my experience, most of the tutorials and examples out there on the internet seem to be in C#. That is my experience, anyway. That always helps.
Alright, on to understand C# at its fundamental basis, as well as its usage within Unity. This is the first thing you should know in regards to coding with Unity within C#. There is a distinction there. There is a language, C#, just as it is, how it works irrespective of Unity wrapping itself around it. There is the implementation of it within Unity. The particular ways that Unity emphasizes certain practices and de-emphasizes others. You will come to find that Unity constrains your programming choices. Not in principle, but in practice. Which, ultimately, should make things easier for you, but can be awkward at first. For example, we will be going into Object-Oriented Programming with C#, because C# is all about OOP… Object-Oriented Programming for short. The Unity API is built on these OOP principles, but by coding through the API as your interface to this OOP code underneath, some of those OOP practices won't make as much sense to use the way you will come to learn them, when learning simply pure C#. You will come to know what I mean by this, it is sort of like a dual nature of C# with Unity. There is C# as its fundamental OOP foundation, and there is the implementation of it in Unity through the Unity API as its interface. A lot of buzz words and funny sounding lingo, but trust me, it is not that complicated. It is just you will have to come to understand C# and Unity a bit separately.
As we move along, I will be mentioning where and when the concept I am teaching you is a fundamental C# concept, or a Unity-specific implementation of it to help make it a little bit more clear what I am talking about. Anyway, don't worry about that, it is a little preface, maybe more for you experienced coders out there than you beginners. The first thing we will do to keep things simple, clean and stripped down, so you can really focus on what really matters, is we will put aside all that code that we wrote for a prototype for now, and instead make a test script that we can use to create code and see the result output in the console. That way, we can go through the Unity engine, but not get distracted by too many visuals coming at us. Instead, we want to really focus on the code in its simplicity and see the results output just in the text console window that we saw earlier. In the great tradition of programming tutorials, it wouldn't be a full program tutorial without a hello world script, so we will create that right now. You may have seen these before, it is just a demonstration of the simplest way to output a message on the screen. Hello world, because I guess we are pretending that we are generating a conscious machine here. I am sorry to disappoint, we are not doing anything that awesome and sophisticated here. In fact, I don't think anybody has done anything that awesome and sophisticated yet, not for a while.
Anyway, we are going to want to create a simple test script, and go to your assets as you have seen before, create C# script, we will just call it Test. Remember, in order to output to the Unity engine, we have to attach it to a game object. I could attach it to any game object here, but I am just going to make a new one, just to keep it clean, and so we can reference it. We will call that Test. Right now, right away I will drag it and drop it there onto my Test game object, just so it is working. We are going to want to open that up, and write a simple "Hello World." Let's just make it super simple. Get rid of everything we absolutely don't need to start off with. So there is just a little bit less clutter. We just need the using engine declaration, keep that at the top. You don't have to worry about it being a public class, so just delete that.
We do need it to derive from MonoBehaviour. We will go into that a lot later. We don't need an Update() method, so just delete that, and simply write this message in your Start() method. Save that. Go back to Unity, and remember it is going to output through the console, so there is our "You have been eaten" output that we had from previous. Remember to make sure to have clear on play selected, and these notifications also selected as I have here. Let's press the play button so we can see the output, and there we go. We have "Hello world" outputting to the Unity. As I said, don't worry about the visuals that are happening in the game, they are ultimately not important, just look at the console window. Let's look at this code.
It is about as stripped down and as simple of code that we can right now put in Unity. Let's break down this code in a very cursory way and look at it starting from the top, moving down. At the top we have the using declaration, where we are using UnityEngine. Using declarations at the top of your scripts are the way that you import pre-written classes of code for use within your current script. It makes that library code available within the script, if you so choose to use it. In this case, the script is importing a UnityEngine library of code, which is basically the entire Unity API, its entire code base, in order for you to access it and output back out to the Unity engine. For example, in this script, we make use of the Log() method right here that is found in the Debug class, as well as the Start() method, that also we inherit from the MonoBehaviour class.
I am not going to go into inheritance just yet, but just know that that's what this part means. The MonoBehaviour part is inheritance, and the Log() method comes from the Debug class, which we all eventually get from the UnityEngine reference here at the very top. Much more on this later, just a cursory look for now. What we will want to look at much more closely is the class definition we have here. We start with the class keyword which just tells the compiler that everything within this set of squiggly brackets, which are like the walls of our container, everything inside of that container that we labeled Test, is within this class. For now, think of classes in the simplest way possible, which is just a labeled container that keeps things logically separated in code, the same way that you would use your dresser drawer to presumably keep your clothes separated, if you are good about doing such things. Your clothes can be separated from each other, so you know what is contained where. Each drawer would be its own class, if you want to keep this analogy, and you can label those drawers if you are particularly fastidious about such things. Sock drawers, shirt drawer, et cetera.
The only member right now in our Test class is the Start() method definition, which is a different kind of sub-container. Method definitions are special kinds of containers that must exist in classes, and contain entire sequences of code or code blocks, if you prefer. You can see here, in this Start() method definition, we have the Log() method that takes whatever phrase, string technically, that we pass in in between the parenthesis that you see here. Somewhere, somehow, it outputs into Unity through our console. This is already quite a bit to wrap your head around if you are not familiar with programming, and we are only talking a few lines of code, but here we already have a multi-layered concept of containment, or encapsulation in coding speak, that is going on here. You have got the class container, the outer container, and within that you have another container, different kind of container, your Start() method, which within it, there is a call to another method. You even have this concept of method definitions, where you have a set of code within squiggly brackets, and method calls, which is actually calling that definition and using it.
You already have a lot to look at here, and it is probably difficult to get your head around right away. I am not expecting to, so stick with me and we will go slow, I promise. This will be our basic understanding of the way our code will be structured going forward. This will be our common structure. You will have a class container with some members. Right now, we are only looking at methods. In those method definitions, you will have entire code blocks that you intend to call later in your code, and it will execute in full. We can't keep looking at this zoomed out, birds eye view, and attempt to understand what is going on. So, we have to zoom in at some point on each bit of code. I think the best part to zoom in on right now would be to focus on these method definitions, as much of the code we will be writing will be within these method definitions. You can start off by understanding a method definition as a set of instructions, as I mentioned before. It is like when you buy office furniture, it all comes disassembled, you get a piece of paper with some written instructions, often poorly, as it were. This piece of paper is just the instructions. You have yet to actually use the instructions to put together the furniture.
When we are creating a method definition, we are creating this instruction set, which later needs to be used or executed. You execute those instructions elsewhere in your code by calling it by name, followed by the invocation parenthesis invoke like a wizard invokes magic, think of it that way. In this example, the Start() method definition calls the Log() method. The Start() method itself is called elsewhere, and the Log() method definition comes from elsewhere. This is all handled by Unity, a little bit too much to go into right now, but just understand that that the Start() method definition that we have here is being called somewhere, in the same way that the Log() method is being called in the Start() method definition. Actually, what I will do is, why not just make a really quick method definition from scratch and call it ourselves. Why don't we just make a little method that just outputs that message. Type void... We will talk about void later. MyMethod(), arbitrarily named, nothing in the parenthesis, and just put in the Debug.Log() message that we had before. Now, here in Start(), I will call MyMethod(). I need a new keyboard; I am so sorry. MyMethod() by name, just like that. Save that, and we will run it in a second. I have created my own method definition with a set of instructions. Actually, it is not a set, it has got exactly one instruction which is our call to the Debug.Log() method with our message in there, then we invoke it, we call it, within the Start() method.
Which, we then know, in turn gets called by Unity somewhere within that vortex when we create a Start() method definition. It just ends up piping into some unknown wormhole and ends up on the other side, in our Unity display, either through the console or in the game world. Right now, we will see it in the console. Save that, go back to Unity, press play and no change. It says "Hello World," so it works exactly the same way on the output, but hopefully that makes it a little bit more clear how a method definition is different from a method call. A really basic way of understanding method definitions and method calls. A lot more to be said about methods much later. Right now, I just want to give you a cursory understanding of how methods are defined and then later called.
Just so, in the next few videos, when we write all these instructions in our method definitions, you have some sense of what is going on with those methods and how it is being piped through the Unity engine. That will become a lot more fleshed out, a lot more clear, as we move along. Just remember that we write instructions in our method definitions, and we execute them by calling the methods by name. In the next set of videos, we will be writing those instructions and focusing on exactly how to do that. That will be the heartbeat of much of our coding in Unity. Alright, see you next set of videos.

"Ribbit" A Chorus Of Frogs
May 2012
An interactive exhibition piece for Handmade a collection of electronic musical frogs illustrating complex patterns caused by simple rules and interactions, each frog listens for the calls made by other frogs and replys with its own call.
SIx frogs were made for the event, each one had a battery pack, piezo transducer (acting as both a microphone and loudspeaker) and circuit board.
The circuit board consists of an Atmel ATTiny45 microcontroller and an op-amp to amplify the signal from the piezo transducer.
Circuit board.

What do Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, The Lion King 1 1/2, and Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil all have in common? They're the same movie. No, really. Humor me for a minute.
The source material for the other two is R&GAD (and for the sake of this article, I'm talking about the film version with Gary Oldman and Tim Roth; not the play), which is basically a spin-off of Shakespeare's Hamlet. It takes two fairly minor characters and follows their story from just before the opening of the Hamlet story to the moment when, in the original play, they die (plus the Hamlet epilogue because…yay, more dead bodies). And if you're unfamiliar, I feel I should mention at this juncture that R&GAD is a straight-up comedy. A really good one. A laugh riot. It's one of my favorite movies.
And a quick side note, so we're clear from the beginning, the two leads are not interchangeable. There's a running gag that no one can tell them apart, partly because of their long and confusing names, but they're very distinct from each other. The Guildenstern is more self assured and at first glance appears to be the much savvier of the two, but the Rosencrantz is actually a misunderstood (even by himself) genius, who, while Guildenstern can be snide and condescending, is only ever well-meaning and good natured. Both are dumb as bricks when it comes to anything obvious.
So a few years ago, I'm on an Alan Tudyk kick, because I had just finished Firefly and seen Death at a Funeral and thought to myself, alright, what else ya got? And to be completely honest, I don't know why I decided to watch Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil in the first place. From the point of view of an outsider, it doesn't look like what it is: lowest common denominator comedy, as an excuse to show girls in bikinis. But I wanted to watch a movie, I'd put it in my Netflix queue, what the hell. I'll give it a shot.
T&DVE is smart disguised as stupid, and it's one of the best horror comedies ever made (I have to say one of because of Cabin in the Woods and Shaun of the Dead). It's also basically R&GAD. Think about it.
A bunch of rich spoiled kids in their early 20's get themselves killed off by a series of misunderstandings, the main rich kid goes crazy along the way, and the movie ends when he dies. Except the movie's actually about these two other characters:
Tucker = Guildenstern
Dale = Rosencrantz
It takes the classic slasher-horror movie concept and shifts the camera to the side and shows what's happening there. The view you don't usually see. The "villains" and their side of the story.
In Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, while not the main antagonists, do turn out to be somewhat villanous. They are childhood friends of the protagonist, brought in by the king after Hamlet starts acting a little wonky. They go on a trip with him and we discover they were carrying a letter telling a different king "we've got Hamlet with us and this other king wants you to do him a solid and kill him. Please."Slight paraphrase.
In R&GAD, they sidestep this by the King slipping the letter into Rosencrantz's jacket and they don't even find it until they're already on the ship. So they aren't really the bad guys and neither are Tucker and Dale.
Moving onto The Lion King 1 1/2….
The notion that the original film was basically Hamlet has been talked about endlessly. A young prince's father is killed by his uncle, massive confrontation, resulting in deaths ensue (okay, so the only character that we know for sure was killed is Scar, but c'mon. All that fire and brimstone? We must have lost a few lionesses and hyenas in the fight sequence).
Of course, it's Disney-fied and there's singing and carrying on and comic reliefs, namely Timon and Pumbaa and you guessed it:
Timon = Guildenstern
Pumbaa = Rosencrantz
So several years later The Lion King 1 1/2 shows up (they saved Romeo and Juliet for the sequel) and they make the movie about the comic reliefs. And when you turn the camera to the side, you get the R&GAD treatment.
So we get a bit of each of their backstories, with references to the pride and a new king and blah blah blah.
Then they meet Simba and become childhood friends. They act somewhat like parents, as they're supposed to be older than Simba, but they're all operating on the same maturity level.
Now again, Disney movie, so there's a lot less betrayal and a lot less…killing everyone. There's that moment, for each of them where, had this not been an animated musical for kids, they would have died. Instead…well, instead they don't.
However, the still get to see the little epilogue with the prince having a final battle with his uncle, the king.
Still, the crux of the story is about two side characters, their characterizations and interactions and overall relationship, which is the identical twin of that of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
So the next time watch a Shakespeare production, think about the characters that get killed off at the midpoint. And how hilarious their side of the story may be.

NAYPYITAW, Myanmar (AP) � Myanmar opened its first Parliament in more than two decades today, an event greeted with cautious optimism by opposition lawmakers despite the military�s tight management of the event.
The military and its allies hold more than 80 percent of the seats in both houses of Parliament, ensuring the army exercises control over the wheels of power, as it has since a 1962 coup deposed the last legitimately elected legislature. A single-party Parliament under the late dictator Gen. Ne Win was abolished in 1988 after the army crushed a pro-democracy uprising.
The 440-seat lower house and 224-seat upper house were opened simultaneously in a massive new building in Naypyitaw, the remote city to which the capital was moved from Yangon in 2005. The 14 regional parliaments, whose members were also elected last November, opened at the same time.
In the afternoon, the two houses convened together, and legislative officers were elected, said Khin Shwe, a business tycoon and upper house representative of the junta-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party.
Thura Shwe Mann, who had been the junta�s third-ranking member and retired from the military to run for election with the USDP, was picked to be speaker of the lower house, and the junta�s Culture Minister Khin Aung Myint was named speaker of the upper house, Khin Shwe said. The election of a vice president was scheduled for tomorrow; the timing for picking a president was not yet clear.
With its allies controlling Parliament and loyalists � many recently retired senior junta members � expected to fill top government posts, the military will be keeping a tight grip on the reins of power. The 2008 constitution, drafted under the junta�s guidance and with provisions ensuring the military�s dominance, also came into effect today.
Roads leading to the Parliament building were sealed off with roadblocks manned by armed police. Delegates wearing traditional attire and representatives of ethnic minorities in the garb of their respective groups were bused from state guest houses to the site. Each bus was checked for bombs as they entered the compound.
Reporters, diplomats and the public at large were barred from witnessing the proceedings inside. Publicity for the event has been low-key, though Myanmar state television today showed footage of the opening.

"Be still and know that I am God" what do those words mean to you? or how to they make you feel?
How many times a day, a week, a month, a year, or even your lifetime do we just sit, stand, or lay in complete stillness at peace with everything and everyone with no burdens or thoughts just knowing that God is God and we are not.
God specifically tells us in psalm 46:10 to "be still and know that I am God" which can also mean "be still and know that I am love" (1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.")
When you see the word "know" it is meaning to know someone like a lover knows their love which is how God loves or knows us. "To be loved is to be known and to be known is to be loved"
so "be still and know that He is love"
This world is so full of people who don't have time to do anything we are such a busy world and when was the last time we just took a rest looked at the beautiful world around us that God made for to show of his love for us…. that's right God the creator of everything is trying to show his love to us. Think about the sunsets and the stars and the full mood and all of the beautiful things around us that God made for us to enjoy!
Tonight while driving to church I hadn't been having the best day and I hadn't really been talking to God today…and I turn the corner and one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen was there and my favorite worship song that reminds me that God's love never fails was on and I came back to Him…I love those moments when God lets you know through nature or even a person or scripture that He loves you and He is, has, and always will be there.
So try something knew Be still and know that God is love and God is God!
Below is a link to one of my favorite worship songs that is all about being still and knowing God is God by Mike Crawford
This is a link to the song that came on as a love note from God. Its called one thing remains by Kristian Stanfill and Passion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_o6s5X5LSw

In the documentary watched last class, "Before the Flood", there is a segment where Leonardo DiCaprio dives into the ocean to explore the desolated corals that lied below. As mentioned, the sea is a buffer system for the Carbon Dioxide that is increasingly overtaking our atmosphere. As a result of the stresses felt by the sea, coral reefs have started to mutate into what is referred to as bleached coral. The coral viewed in class was desolate, absent of life and reflected a world I find had to identify as my own. From this, I wanted to explore and understand more about coral bleaching, what causes it and where it leaves us.
An article in The Nature Conspiracy, "Oceans & Coasts: What you Need to Know", does a great job of outlining these questions and concerns. One of the major contributing factors of coral bleaching is a rise in temperature, "when you have really hot summers, you can expect that corals will get stressed, and bleaching is likely" (Oceans). Other factors mentioned are Pollution from agriculture or urban run-off, change in salinity (saltiness) and intense UV-Rays (Oceans). The vibrant colors we are all associate with coral reefs are in fact, "tiny algae that live in their tissues" (Oceans). The algae and coral have a symbiotic relationship, in that the algae are provided with structural support to latch on and absorb sunlight and the coral feeds off the carbohydrates the algae produce during photosynthesis.
The silver lining to coral bleaching, is knowing that even if a reef goes through a bleaching process or phase, it is not technically dead. The coral reefs would still need the presence of algae to survive long term, but if stress factors that impede on the reefs where to be alleviated then there is hope.
Of course, reducing pollution and lowering the overall temperature are not easy tasks. It calls for grand gestures, the era of changing the world one light bulb at a time or recycled bottle is not realistic. Nor achievable to undo all of the ever-increasing destruction that has been placed on the sea and Earth as a whole. I'm not sure of what macro efforts need to be implemented to make such a substantial change to our environment. I'd love to hear thoughts about what can be done to really reverse these measures.

18 council staff earn £100k-plus
Mon, 04 Sept 2017
A COMMUNITY group looking at the future of Thatcham has been disbanded – but its work may continue.
Members voted unanimously to dissolve the Thatcham Vision steering group at an extraordinary meeting recently.
Thatcham Vision chairman David Conquest said: "It was a sad decision, but they recognised that the lack of ongoing support, particularly of members who live in Thatcham, made it the best option."
The steering group oversaw the implementation of the Thatcham Vision Parish Plan, which identified improvements for the town.
It also applied for funding to support the actions and projects in the plan and facilitated activities and events.
Among its success was the formation of the Thatcham Sports Network, Thatcham Film Nights, Thatcham Volunteer Fair and the Thatcham Vision Youth Club.
However, a combination of a lack of volunteers and funding, along with political interference, led to the steering group's dissolution.
Speaking at a meeting in July, Mr Conquest said that volunteers either no longer lived in Thatcham or were suffering from ill-health.
And he added that it had been "difficult" to look after remaining volunteers and attract new ones without a community officer.
In addition to this, a bid to form a charitable incorporated organisation to attract funding had been rejected.
However, Mr Conquest said that some of Thatcham Vision's action groups may continue and that discussions as to how this could happen are ongoing with Thatcham Town Council.
The steering group also thanked all previous members and volunteers of the group, who, over the last 12 years, had put in "many hours work, skills and dedication".
A public meeting to allocate the remaining funds in the steering group's account will be held at 7.30pm in the Thatcham Town Council chamber on September 28.

Hagerstown has received just over 4 inches of rainfall in May, but half of that came in the past three days, according to local weather observer Greg Keefer's website, www.i4weather.net.
Precipitation on Monday was almost 1.4 inches, followed by more than half an inch Tuesday night as thunderstorms rumbled through the area, Keefer's website said.

Country of origin: USA Alcohol content: 20% Alcohol by Volume
A sophisticated and bitter sweet elixir with intense flavors of flowers, roots, herbs and citrus.
GRAND POPPY amaro is a California-inspired take on classic European amari.
Greenbar Distillery makes it by marrying the best of California's bounty – citrus from their favorite Southern California farms, coastal herbs and berries that the distillery founders, Melkonand Litty discovered on their hikes, and one very beautiful flower, the California poppy – to bring a new taste to cocktail lovers everywhere
Bittersweet with intense flavors of flowers, roots, herbs, and citrus
Organic California poppy, orange, lemon, grapefruit, bearberry, California bay leaf, pink peppercorn, dandelion, blessed thistle, burdock, rue, artichoke, gentian, geranium, cherry bark, cane sugar
How to use:
Enjoy with sparkling wine, soda, or paired with silver tequila, vodka, or whiskey.
GRAND POPPY amaro makes a wonderful aperitif and adds delightful complexity to cocktails. Try mixing equal parts hard spirit to GRAND POPPY amaro then using fresh lime juice and simple syrup as modifiers
"GRAND POPPY mixes incredibly well with a myriad of alcohol, I've done Negronis that replace Campari with GRAND POPPY, used it instead of Cointreau in a margarita, and added a few dashes to my Manhattan instead of bitters. Its well-rounded and versatile ingredients list means it can be used all over the place, or as a base for a lower alcohol cocktail. It of course also tastes good on its own on ice. Speaking of ice, this would complement vanilla ice cream with fresh fruit as a dessert or as a base for ice itself." Joe Shotkus, Parched No More

A Guest Post by Rowen Bridler
You know those times when you want to get going on a new song or, more frequently, when you've got a verse for a song but nothing else and you'd like to finish it off? Isn't it annoying when inspiration just doesn't seem to be available? Where is the muse when you need her? This is precisely the time when you can prove your skill as a songwriter. If you only ever write songs when you're inspired, chances are, you're going to end up with a lot of half-written songs and a very short setlist for your next gig.
Here's how to avoid that problem in 5 easy songwriter's block-eradicating ways:
1) Improvise, improvise, improvise
The first rule of songwriting, in my opinion, is to have the musical equivalent of a wide vocabulary that you can express yourself with. There are two ways to develop this. Either you learn scales and chords and arpeggios that form the framework of any piece of music, or you try to become the best musician/singer that you can be by improvising to your favourite genre of music ceaselessly. (Perhaps a combination of the two would be ideal..?) Some people really don't want to put in the work to learn scales and all of that 'boring stuff' but if you find you can't naturally come up with lines of improvised music effortlessly then you may be avoiding the very thing that would help you most. Once you have the musical skill to improvise new and continuously evolving musical ideas, you can 'play around with' a small bit of music you like and gradually 'find' the next verse pattern and then a chorus pattern that you need to complete a song. If all else fails for coming up with new ideas, sing the lyrics of a song you like but make up a new tune or vice-versa as a way of gradually building up a song of your own.
2) Gather together all your half-written songs
If you've got lots of 'bits' of songs but can't seem to finish any of them, try this 8-step method:
1) Write out the lyrics of all the 'bits of songs' you have and put each one in an envelope with a provisional title written on them. (As you can see, this works just as well for manifesting some money and generating ideas to build a website – yes, that's what those files and debit cards in the middle there are all about…)
2) Gather together a handful of things you love (a favourite book, an old journal, a soft toy your ex-boyfriend bought you, or whatever has great meaning or sentimental value for you) and put them in a circle around you. (Spot the Cookie Monster…)
3) Put the envelopes of songs in the middle.
4) Sit in the middle of the circle and look at all the objects you love and think about their significance while sifting through your pile of envelopes.
5) Gradually decide on 2-3 songs to focus on.
6) Aim to add at least two new lines of lyrics to each one by playing/singing through them or contemplating the lyrics for a while but set yourself a time limit of about 30-45 minutes to do this.
7) Play/sing through these songs again with the new lyrics added (improvise a melody if necessary)
8) See if one song emerges as wanting more time spent on it and work on that one more.
This should at least take you forward or give you new ideas you can explore until the music you want to fit to the new parts of the song develops. If all else fails, try the next tip.
3) Distract yourself with another creative medium for a limited time
If nothing seems to be working, try to distract your brain from the mechanics of getting a song written by doing something else creative instead. That could be making a cake,
(I find chocolate cake helps in so many situations…)
drawing a picture, writing a poem, taking some photos or dancing to a song you love. Anything that feels creatively engaging and freeing could help at this point. Set yourself a limit of 90 minutes for this. Then come back to the songwriting and see if something develops.
4) Jump to the beat
If nothing else is working and you're feeling tired and fed up, stop and do some exercise. Have a quick dance break, go for a run or do a full workout. Then come back to the song and play around with the rhythm. If the song doesn't have a set tempo yet, try playing/singing along with a metronome. Alternatively, programme a beat to set your song idea to and see if this changes how it sounds and inspires you to add another section to it. Sometimes just a change in energy level and tempo changes can make all the difference.
5) Try a different perspective
If your song seems to be going over the same old ideas of previous songs, or you can't even get started with more than a vague idea of what you want to write about, why not brainstorm a range of perspectives on a topic for 5 minutes? For example, if you want to write a song about the lack of affordable housing in London or New York. (Yeah, dry topic eh? But a source of genuine frustration perhaps?) Why not jot down all the different kinds of people's perspectives on it that you can think of. What would a child, a politician, a traveller, an Occupy movement protester think? What if the building itself wrote the song about how annoyed it is to have so many people living in it? What about the opinion of a Roman soldier buried under that street, or a ghost that haunts the hallways? Get creative about what perspective the song is written from. Maybe it doesn't always have to be about you..?

How Do We Pick the Best pot filter faucets?
There are several visible and underlying factors that you should consider while making up your mind on which faucet should you buy. We have focused more on the controllability, the length and the folding options of the pot filler faucets. Plus, we also took the durability of each of these faucets into our considerations, so construction material is also another major factor as pot filler faucet's benefits.
Plus, we have taken the design, the color patterns, each switch, the versatile performance of the faucet and the easy maneuvering ability into considerations. But, at the end of the day, it is all about individual preferences, so we suggested you choose your preferred faucet from this list.

Flowers v. State
The Supreme Court reversed Defendant's two concurrent life sentences with the possibility of release after thirty years, holding that neither Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460 (2012), nor Jackson v. State, 883 N.W.2d 272 (Minn. 2016), limited the district court's authority to impose consecutive sentences in this case. The district court convicted Defendant, a juvenile at the time of his offense, of two counts of first-degree premeditated murder and sentenced him to two consecutive life terms of imprisonment without the possibility of release. Defendant later petitioned for postconviction relief, arguing in part that the court's authority to impose consecutive life sentences with the possibility of release after thirty years was limited by both Miller and Jackson. The district court granted the petition and imposed two concurrent life sentences with the possibility of release after thirty years. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded for resentencing, holding that the district court mistakenly believed that Miller and Jackson limited its authority to impose consecutive sentences in this case.

In re Welfare of C.J.H.
The State filed a juvenile delinquency petition against seventeen-year-old C.J.H. Defense counsel at the first appearance told the juvenile court that the parties had agreed to a "continuance for dismissal." Without finding that the allegations in the charging document had been proved, the juvenile court continued the delinquency proceeding and, approximately nine months later, terminated the continuance. The juvenile court subsequently adjudicated C.J.H. delinquent. C.J.H. appealed, arguing that the proceedings at the first appearance constituted a "continuance without adjudication" because he unconditionally admitted the charged offense. Therefore, C.J.H. argued, under Minn. R. Juv. Delinq. P. 15.05, the juvenile court's jurisdiction expired before he was adjudicated delinquent. The court of appeals reversed, concluding that the juvenile court's jurisdiction expired before C.J.H. was adjudicated delinquent. The Supreme Court reversed, holding (1) the plain language of Rule 15.05 requires a juvenile court to find the allegations in the charging document to have been proven before continuing the case without adjudication; and (2) because no such finding was made in this case, the proceedings at C.J.H.'s first appearance did not constitute a continuance without adjudication.

Roman Nose v. State
In 2001, Respondent was found guilty of first-degree murder while committing or attempting to commit criminal sexual conduct and first-degree premeditated murder. Respondent was a juvenile when he committed the crime. The district court sentenced Respondent to life without the possibility of release (LWOR) under the mandatory sentencing scheme in Minn. Stat. 609.106(2)(1). After the U.S. Supreme Court decided Miller v. Alabama in 2012, Respondent filed a petition for postconviction relief, arguing that his sentence violated the Eighth Amendment. The postconviction court granted Respondent's petition and resentenced him to life in prison with the possibility of release after thirty years. The Minnesota Supreme Court subsequently issued its decision in Chambers v. State, which held that the Miller rule does not apply retroactively to a juvenile whose sentence of LWOR under section 609.106(2)(1) became final before the Miller rule was announced. Thereafter, in the instant case, the Supreme Court reversed the postconviction court's order and reinstated the original sentence of LWOR, holding that the postconviction court's legal conclusion was in direct conflict with Chambers, and the circumstances of this case did not warrant granting relief to Respondent under the Court's supervisory powers to ensure the fair administration of justice.

In re Welfare of B.A.H.
B.A.H. was charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct under Minn. Stat. 609.342(1)(g) for acts he committed with his cousin, then age thirteen, when B.A.H. was age fourteen. After a bench trial on stipulated evidence, the district court found B.A.H. guilty of the charge and adjudicated him delinquent. The court of appeals reversed, holding that subdivision (1)(g) violated B.A.H.'s constitutional rights to due process and equal protection. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that B.A.H.'s deliquency adjudication did not violate his constitutional rights to due process and equal protection, as (1) subdivision (1)(g) was not unconstitutionally vague; and (2) the State's reasons for charging B.A.H. and not his cousin were rational, and therefore, constitutional.

In re Welfare of J.H.
Respondent was charged by juvenile petition, as both a principal and an accomplice, with criminal sexual conduct and other crimes arising out of the rape of a fourteen-year-old girl. After a hearing, the juvenile court concluded that Respondent had not overcome the presumption in favor of certification to adult court and certified Respondent for prosecution as an adult. The court of appeals reversed, concluding that the juvenile court abused its discretion by failing to expressly weigh the seriousness of the alleged offense and Respondent's prior record of delinquency separate from other public safety factors and by failing to specifically delineate how its determination of the two factors impacted its certification decision, as required by Minn. Stat. 260B.125. The Supreme Court reversed, holding (1) the court of appeals erroneously interpreted section 260B.125(4); and (2) the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion by concluding that Respondent failed to overcome the presumption in favor of certification.

In re J.J.P.
Respondent was adjudicated delinquent of felony burglary and misdemeanor theft. Thereafter, Respondent obtained a district court order expunging his juvenile delinquency records held by the judicial branch and sought to expunge his juvenile delinquency records held by the executive branch. The district court denied the request, but the court of appeals reversed. The Supreme Court affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded, holding (1) under Minn. Stat. 260B.198(6), the authority of the district court to expunge juvenile delinquency records in executive branch files is limited to the order adjudicating the juvenile delinquent; (2) to determine whether expungement is advisable within the meaning of section 260B.198(6), the district court must weight the benefit to the petitioner against the detriment to the public and the burden on the court; and (3) the district court should decide if Respondent's petition merits expungement by applying the balancing test the Court articulated here to the specific facts and circumstances of the case.

State v. Grigsby
The State filed a delinquency petition against Appellant, alleging that Appellant committed second-degree intentional murder. The juvenile court certified the proceeding to adult court. Appellant was charged in district court with second-degree intentional murder. The complaint was amended to include second-degree felony murder. The jury found Appellant guilty of second-degree felony murder and second-degree manslaughter. Appellant appealed, arguing that the district court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over the amended charge of second-degree felony murder and the lesser-included offense of second-degree manslaughter. The court of appeals affirmed, holding (1) the district court had jurisdiction over the charge specified in the certification order and other charges arising out of the same behavioral incident; and (2) the certification process did not violate Appellant's right to procedural due process. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) a "proceeding" permitted by statute includes non-enumerated offenses arising out of the same behavioral incident as the offense enumerated in the certification order; and (2) following a valid certification order, a child no longer has a liberty interest in a juvenile adjudication for offenses arising out of the behavioral incident certified to adult court, and therefore the district court is not required to conduct another hearing on the certification issue.

In re M.L.M.
Appellant, a juvenile, was petitioned for a felony and then adjudicated delinquent of a misdemeanor arising out of the same set of circumstances. The court ordered that Appellant provide a biological speciman to determine her DNA profile for the limited purpose of criminal identification after concluding that Minn. Stat. 609.117, subd. 1(2), which requires a juvenile adjudicated delinquent of a misdemeanor to submit a DNA sample, did not violate constitutional prohibitions against unreasonable searches and seizures and was not a denial of equal protection. The Supreme Court affirmed after applying a totality-of-the-circumstances test, holding (1) the State's legitimate governmental interests in collecting Appellant's DNA outweighed Appellant's reduced expectation of privacy following her misdemeanor adjudication arising out of the same set of circumstances as her felony petition; (2) consequently, as applied to Appellant, section 609.177, sub. 1(2) did not violate the prohibitions against unreasonable searches and seizures in the state and federal constitutions; and (3) Appellant's equal protection claim failed because Appellant was not similarly situated to misdemeanants without a felony petition, who were not required to provide a DNA sample under the statute.

Comment by: Jan Dalhuise, Professor of Law at King's College in London, Miranda Chair of Transnational Finance in Lisbon, and Visiting Professor at U.C. Berkeley School of Law, the Tsinghua University in Beijing, and the University of New South Wales in Sydney.
This comment and response series features three short pieces by international law professors commenting on the recent BJIL article, The Merging of International Trade and Investment Law by Sergio Puig, and a response by the author. The article discusses the merging of international trade and investment law as resulting from the dynamics of the treaty-making process and the strategies employed by litigation parties at the time of the enforcement of treaty rules.
Sergio Puig's recently published article, The Merging of International Trade and Investment Law, while timely, may fail to fully and effectively confront the changing arenas of international trade and investment. With that in mind, I believe the paper allows for four observations and questions.
First, the increasing overlap between investment and trade is obvious, but there may be a more fundamental question as to why this is so and how it fits into the context of a potentially new reality that challenges the trade and investment regimes of old. International flows—in other words, flows of goods, services, information, technology and money—are in constant flux and transformation (into each other, but even as end products, which convert into receivables and bank balances upon a sale); they often have no natural fixed abode either. These aggregate flows are larger than the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the largest countries in the world or even all European Union (EU) countries combined. We may need a more fundamental rethinking of what is happening here, rather than examining how states respond to this new reality with old thinking and old dispute-resolution facilities. Explaining these game-changing dynamics, may, I believe, be critical to understanding the new realities of trade and investment.
Second, I did not understand how minilateralism—the use of regional trade agreements (RTAs)—and the consequences of the convergence of trade and investment in the above sense are related.
Third, Puig offers only a few cases demonstrating trouble spots. Given the limitations of our present insight as to what is happening with the international flows referenced above, I am probably still closer to Steven Ratner and Paul Berman with respect to their love of fragmentation—the theory that conflicts of interpretation of two rules or principles among several regimes of norms and institutions whose competences overlap may be beneficial and that doctrinal uniformity might be misguided. Puig is more impressed by Joost Pauwelyn, who prefers integrated commitments to a complex array of economic agreements—fragmentation being an obvious byproduct of the latter. His argument is that small countries may suffer from parallel suits in different fora because they have fewer resources. But that challenge stems from a much bigger problem than the merger of trade and investment law: smaller nations struggle to man a modern State and are always first in line when things go wrong, as demonstrated in recent financial crises.
Finally, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) raises a range of difficult questions—including those raised by Puig in his paper—but, unfortunately, they are also still met by old thinking. Fundamentally, I believe more attention should be paid to the fact that local courts cannot handle the kinds of disputes likely to arise under the TTIP; they are naturally beholden to defending local policies (quite apart from endless local procedural issues and appeal possibilities). On the other hand, it is true that purely private dispute resolution may not be the answer in public policy issues. At a minimum, private dispute resolution would require proper supervision of arbitrators, but not appeal or revision, as such procedures would result in costly and burdensome delays.

Manufacture of JCB's new range of site dumpers has officially started, with the first machines rolling off the company's production line at its World HQ in Rocester.
Two years ago, the company added site dumpers to its portfolio by sourcing badge-engineered machines, with capacities from one to ten tonnes, from Terex in Coventry. After Terex's compact construction business was bought by the French company, Mecalac, JCB decided to design and produce its own range. The move will create 70 new jobs in the next 12 months.
The range includes nine models with capacities from one to nine tonnes. JCB Site Dumper MD Richard Butler said, "Reaction to the launch has been exceptional and customers can look forward to seeing the seven and three tonne models on the JCB stand at the Executive Hire Show in February."
The line-up includes the seven tonne payload 7T-1 Front Tip Hi-Viz model, designed to address concerns over accidents involving site dumpers on construction sites. This machine is one of ten, from various exhibitors, selected for the Innovation Trail – Live initiative being introduced at this year's Show, highlighting cutting-edge new products in special 'live' presentations.

Government Contracts
He who knows and knows that he knows is wise; follow him. -ANCIENT PROVERB During a long career of public service as a government procurement and contracting official, I am still surprised to find big, successful corporations making the same mistakes that neophytes in government contracting mak~. And this is particularly true in the matter of writing proposals, which are the crucial element in most major procurement awards. It's true enough, as many suspect, that the big, well-known company has something of an edge over the smaller, lesser-known company com peting for any given government contract-psychologically, at least: The typical government executives, whether contracting officials or program managers, tend to have a bit more faith in the ability of the large company to carry out the program successfully. All things being equal, then, the big company is more likely to get the nod. However, because the large companies are well aware of that, many tend to become "fat, dumb, and happy"-they try to coast or rest on their laurels. That is, they get careless about making a strong enough case for themselves in writing their proposals. And when they lose, often to smaller companies, they are both puzzled and outraged. They have for gotten that all government procurement is a competition-usually both technical and cost competition-and that the "little guy" can win against the "big guy," if he tries hard enough. And especially if the bigger guy is a bit careless and does not put out his best effort.

Government Girl
"A delightful page-turnerthat will put the lucky reader within the feverish excitement of a hopeful and tragic time. Andrei Codrescu, NPR commentator and author of The Posthuman Dada Guide: Tzara and Lenin Play Chess A memoir of being young and female in the Clinton White House Stacy Parker Aab was born in Detroit in 1974, the only daughter of a white Kansas farm girl and a young black Detroiter fresh from two tours of Vietnam. An excellent student, Aab gravitated toward public service and moved to Washington, D.C., for college in the hopeful days of 1992. Not only would Aab study political communication at The George Washington University, but she would also intern at the White House. For three years, she worked for George Stephanopoulos. In 1997 she became White House staff, serving as Paul Begala's special assistant. At first, life was charmed, with nurturing mentors, superstar politicos, and handsome Secret Service agents. In January 1998, the world of the Clinton White House changed radically. Monica Lewinsky became a household name, and Aab learned quickly that in Washington, protectors can become predators, investigators will chase you like prey, and if you make mistakes with a powerful man, the world will turn your name into mud. Government Girl is a window into the culture of the Clinton White House, as seen through the eyes of an idealistic young female aide. Stacy Parker Aab's intimate memoir tells of her coming-of-age in the lion's den. Her story provides a searing look at the dynamics between smart young women and the influential older men who often hold the keys to their dreams.

We have been reading up on manners around the world. Whether we use any of it or not, it has given me great new material for my everyday 'mom' lines.
Use your fork and not your fingers (until we get to India).
Stop slurping (unless we are in Asia).
Say excuse me and cover your mouth when you burp (except in China)
Don't stick out your tongue (you aren't a Maori warrior in New Zealand).

Practice Makes Perfect!
Perfection is perfection, but it takes a lot of effort and countless hours. Many people perish before reaching perfection. So let's take a lesson from he who created all--the Good Lord Himself. He created imperfection. Yes, in the midst of that wonderful dozen red roses there will be a thorn, a bruise, possibly a bug noshing his way through breakfast. We are known not for our perfections, but by our flaws.
In the spirit of merely achieving an adequacy, I'm writing in our blog. I decided that somewhere last week I'd take an wrong branch in the path through the forest of choices which each screen gave me on our blog site.
Then let us meld the notions together since my rear is in my chair and I am indeed writing on our writer's blog. Perfection in our writing shouldn't be our goal for if it is the story will never be finished. Perfection changes with the day and the mood. Some days I look at portions of stories I've written and wonder what happened to the person who wrote that. Did she sober up? Then I see another portion and I want to worship at her feet and weep at the very picture created in my head by such...purple...er...prose.
So in the wisdom of the late hour I say unto thee, seek ye not perfection, but deliver thee a whole tale, roundly written, and full of life.
PS. I had to give up and go look at the instructions, read each one, and then go look again, so that I could complete this practice run.....
PPSS. I looked over and read the last several blogs and decided to try a picture, so I added one that my sister had taken in her back yard. HooHoo! Yay me! I accomplished...today anyway.

Margaret Coel, The Eagle Catcher (©1995, Berkley Prime Crime 1996)
It think it was Julius Lester who named Margaret Coel as one of his favourite crime writers. And Tony Hillerman has provided a cover quote for this paperback: 'Shouldn't be missed … a master!' I love Lester's writing, and Hillerman's, so these recommendations carried weight with me.
This is the first of the Wind River Reservation Mysteries, also known as the Arapaho Indian Mysteries, and I put it down to teething problems that it's a bit clunky in places, a bit obvious as a whodunnit and a bit predictable in its climactic scene. But I'm not sure I read crime novels for the puzzle any more, if I ever did, or for the fine writing or innovative plotting. Often it's the milieu that counts: Ian Rankin's Edinburgh, Henning Mankell's Sweden (but not Africa), Tony Hillerman's Dinee. That, and the appeal of following a detective – whether it's Lord Peter Wimsey or Sam Spade – through a series of reassuringly similar mazes. This book has the Arapaho reservation in Wyoming, which bears a strong resemblance to Tony Hillerman's Navajo reservation in New Mexico, but does have a life of its own, and a pair of detectives – a tall redheaded Jesuit and a Arapaho woman lawyer – who offer a multitude of possibilities: a definite mutual attraction that each of them has to suppress, and a hint at the end that their collaboration will continue.
And then there's the no-pressure history lesson about contact between whites (Niatha) and Arapaho, and the easy-to-take introduction to aspects of Arapaho culture.
Excellent for reading on the plane.

Cell phone 'ping' helps police narrow searches
By Charles McMahon
Thursday, November 12, 2009
PORTSMOUTH — The ability to track someone's cell phone signal to a specific area may not be something new for fans of CSI and other TV cop dramas but the use of the technology became very real this past week as police searched for a little girl abducted by her father.
Maine authorities issued an AMBER Alert on Monday afternoon to find 38-year-old Gary Traynham after he allegedly assaulted his two-year-old daughter's mother and fled the mother's Sanford, Maine, apartment with little Hailey in a stolen pickup truck.
The U.S. Justice Department's Website describes the Amber Alert Program as "a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and the wireless industry, to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and the safe recovery of the child."
And that's what happened right after Hailey was taken. The airwaves were saturated with reports about her abduction.
Through witness reports and information received indicating that Traynham had ties to the Lakes Region, police began to scour communities throughout Central New Hampshire. Signs of the alert were visible everywhere, from the state, local and federal authorities positioned along Route 11 on Tuesday to the electronic construction signs that displayed messages about Traynham's license plate number.
Hours into the eventual 30-hour manhunt, police caught a break when they were able to determine Traynham had made a phone call with his cell phone and the signal had "pinged" or transmitted off a communications tower in Alton.
Sanford Police Chief Thomas Connolly told WMUR that authorities were able to get an idea of where Traynham may have been headed when they received information his cell phone had used the signal from the tower.
"They were able to draw an arc on a map and said information from the cell phone indicates Traynham and his little girl were somewhere in that arc," Connolly told WMUR. "Son of a gun they were found right in the middle of that arc."
Hailey Traynham and her mother were reunited Tuesday night in Sanford, Maine, after a deer hunter spotted her and her father in a pickup truck on a logging road in Milton.
An unrelated incident in Portsmouth on Wednesday offered further proof that tracking cell phones for law enforcement purposes can be life-saving and in some cases an important precaution.
According to radio communications, around 10:30 a.m. local police were on the lookout for a possibly suicidal Connecticut man believed to be in the area. Radio transmissions indicated Connecticut authorities had received information that the man's cell phone had last "pinged" off a tower in the Portsmouth area.
Police were then asked to be on the lookout for the man at area hospitals and eventually found him at a friend's residence unharmed a short while later.
Portsmouth Police Community Relations Capt. Mike Schwartz said the effort in tracking someone's cell phone is a team effort with law enforcement and phone service carriers and is only used in situations deemed to be an emergency. When police determine a situation necessitates using the technology, Schwartz said they contact the cell phone carrier, identify themselves as law enforcement and request a trace of the last known signal used.
Schwartz said the service is then able to tell authorities the last tower the cell phone signal "pinged" off.
"It's for emergencies and there is tight criteria on it," said Schwartz. "Every now and then we get people who say they lost their phone and ask, 'can you ping it?' We have to tell them 'no,' that's not an emergency."
The tracking is also not always 100 percent, said Schwartz, but does give law enforcement agencies a good starting point.
Michael Murphy, New England public affairs spokesman for Verizon Wireless, also acknowledged the relationship law enforcement and cell phone carriers have when it comes to potentially harmful situations.
"Verizon Wireless maintains a Law Enforcement Resource Team (LERT) that is ready and available 24/7 to assist authorities with life-threatening situations," Murphy said.

In a wide ranging and insightful opinion in the Wall Street Journal, the always lucid Henry Kissinger makes the point that the EU is first and foremost an idea. It's an inspiring vision expressed as an economic and political union, critically marred by structural weaknesses and political incompetence among member states.
The correct response to Brexit is for EU members to rethink the degree of legislative overhead that Brussels has imposed. Not throw temper tantrums. Many of these rules are needlessly overwhelming and incomprehensible, especially in a technologically connected globalized world.
Brussels and its satellites in members' capitals should begin to undertake a serious effort to unravel the crippling rules that cause so much pain in the lives of ordinary EU citizens. The point of integration is to unleash creativity, remove the barriers to trade, and create economic welfare for all. Let Brexit be the start of such a process.
