BWW Review: UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL With the Quietly Dazzling Amanda McBroom at Feinstein's/54 Below
by Alix Cohen - Oct 2, 2015

Her sharply etched songs illuminate our hearts and minds like artful x-ray. Performance is intimate. McBroom's current show at Feinstein's/54 Below, Up Close and Personal, treats us to material exhumed in an attempt to apply feng shui to her music studio; some rarely heard, a few with the ink barely dry, and a familiar anthem.

So I'm tired. I'm *really* tired.
I have a new job where I'm finally out of training. I'm trying to get a promotion in said job at the same time, so that I have enough money to deal with life better.
I have the NGADM going on.
I have the NGMT which is going to start by the end of the month.
I moved out of my apartment and into my boyfriend's, and we're making plans and preparing to move into a one-bedroom apartment together.
And finally... about a week and a half ago, I was forced to acknowledge that my intuition has been correct for the last like, 9 months. So... I'm a girl. And now I get the lovely task of telling my parents, telling my friends, dealing with my partner being somewhat upset because he's a ftm trans guy and wanted to be with someone who wasn't trans, getting new clothes, telling my co-workers, filing paperwork about anxiety likely caused by it at work, seeing my counselor, getting ready to permanently remove the FUCKING BEARD that's been annoying me for a long time (though I looked good with it), get ready to legally change my name to Skye, and convince my counselor that yes I am ready to start hormones by officially 'living as female' without physically being such for up to 6 months or so.
Oh. And my pizza rolls are cold. ...damnit. I want to do nothing but sleep for a few days.
EDIT: Gonna be keeping a kind of public journal of how things go overall. Maybe I should start a blog or something. I dunno. Either way I'll just start writing stuff in some public space for now, will link when I can.

"Matt did go down with an ankle injury. It's not a high ankle sprain, as has been reported," Smith said. "But right now, you know when you don't finish the game and he still has some soreness, we'll continue to monitor it, but we felt we needed another running back here, that's why we brought back a guy who knows our system and has played good ball for us in Kahlil Bell."
So basically, that six-week prognosis can now be shortened to about two-to-three weeks max.

Phil Hester's Ten Favorite Sketches From His '98 Kirbys' Project
One of the best things about the online celebrations of Jack Kirby's birthday is Phil Hester's marathon sketch project. Each year, in honor of the King, he draws a sketch for every year since Kirby's birth in exchange for donations to the Hero Initiative. That means that, this year, he's knocked out a solid 98 pieces of art over the course of two days --- an especially ambitious project since last year's attempt to do 97 in a single day was obviously a pretty draining experience.
Today, he posted his favorites from this year's project on Twitter, and as you might expect if you're familiar with Kirby and Hester, they're pretty amazing, including characters from Kirby's tenure at Marvel and DC, from Galactus to Granny Goodness.

UriBuilder style is about accumulating the state and then doing a build with one of the build() or buildFromEncoded() methods.
For example, one can request that URI is built with the assumption that all template vars have already been encoded (buildFromEncoded) or that path variable values containing a slash have to be encoded (build() accepting an encodePathSlash parameter).
The introduction of resolveTemplateFromEncoded() and resolveTemplate() accepting encodePathSlash makes the existing style involving build() methods less consistent. For example, resolveTemplate() accepting encodePathSlash may be followed by the build method providing the opposite encodePathSlash value.
Similarly, the same applies to a new builder method, toTemplate(). One can have resolveTemplate() accepting encodePathSlash called a number of times with different encodePathSlash values and it will not be obvious at toTemplate() time which path variables have to be treated specifically and which not.
The above may seem like a very minor issue - but IMHO the core API construct such as UriBuilder should not have any space for the ambiguity.
For example, arguably, a support for encoding path slashes could've been implemented differently to having a build() method accepting 'encodePathSlash'. But the current solution fits into the UriBuilder build style, specifically, the decision to customize is done at the final build step.
Thus I propose to optimize a bit the way resolveTemplates support is done.
At the bare minimum: remove resolveTemplates accepting encodePathSlash - this is already covered by a related build method; to get the same supported at the toTemplate() level do add a new toTemplate(boolean encodePathSlash) method or modify the existing one.
Next, unless a support for having a combination for already-encoded and not yet encoded template var values is absolutely required, repeat the same process for resolveTemplatesFromEncoded - drop them and introduce a related toTemplate method
IMHO - this will make UriBuilder API and quite minimalistic again
-1 on the proposal.
UriBuilder.resolveTemplate() causes the underlying URI builder template to change based on supplied value. The change is IMMEDIATE. If you decided to defer the change to the time when a toTemplate() is called, it's your implementation detail and you need to deal with it in your impl. As such we need a mechanism for controlling the encoding of resolution value(s) in the same way we do it when we use the template to build final URI in build() methods. The current API provides the mechanism. Also with the immediate change there should no confusion about mixing the encoding values in subsequent resolveTemplate invocation calls.
Closing as agreed in EG.

VOY: Protectors by Kirsten Beyer Review Thread (Spoilers!)
View Single Post
January 31 2014, 09:45 PM
Location: Jersey, UK
Re: VOY: Protectors by Kirsten Beyer Review Thread (Spoilers!)
Another fantastic Voyager novel by Kirsten MF Beyer. My friend and I commented how wonderful it was to be back with these characters again; like getting a new episode or season of the show.
I really loved the way the novel was split between three different, interwoven storylines, and how they all came together at the end. Of the three (Voyager/Galen/Earth) I think I enjoyed Voyagers storyline the most - a very unexpected episode to have built on (Twisted), but such a cool idea! There were so many threads picked up from episodes of the show, and I can't wait to see where they go. (I do find myself saying that a lot, though I understand the necessity of having a "setup" novel after everything that went on in
The Eternal Tide
And sending Janeway back with the Vesta was a very neat solution; as soon as she mentioned it I had a feeling that's what would happen, and I'm glad it was.
Some great 'gasp out loud' moments, including the reveal of the identity of Patient C-1.
Kirsten's handling of the Voyager characters continues to be a delight - I always get the sense that she really *gets* these characters and does them the justice they deserve, especially Chakotay. Hugh Cambridge was, as always, hilarious - my favourite new character in the relaunch. Events of Protectors are setting him up for an - interesting time and I can't wait to see more of him.
I also really liked the increased focus on O'Donnell/Fife, Farkas and Glenn considering they're going to be the new command team along with Chakotay - also how Harry stepped up, which makes sense considering he's going to be Acting First Officer for a while. One of the parts of this relaunch I've loved is the focus on characters neglected by the show, especially Chakotay but this time around, Harry as well. I'd like to see more development for Tom, as mentioned above, but with him returning alone to the AQ I'm looking forward to seeing what happens there.
Loved the part with O'Donnell and 'Monster'.
I agreed with rfmcdpei's comment above about consequences, which was a theme throughout this book, and something I loved.
Kathryn Janeway is my favourite character in Trek, so I was especially interested in her development here. I actually wasn't sure about the whole section after she visited Picard with her at her mother's - it felt almost a little *too* blissful for me - my friend commented that it felt like she was in the Nexus. But I was glad to see her coming to terms with the crushing weight she's been carrying, and actually grow and change as a character after it. Looking forward to seeing what these changes might mean for her going forward. I loved the scenes with Phoebe, which felt very realistic. And she can't be broken of her coffee habit; say it ain't so! I'm sure it won't be the case now she's back at work.
I was a little disappointed in the development - or lack thereof - of the Janeway/Chakotay relationship, though I'd be the first to admit I may be a little overinvested in it.
But they seemed to me to be somewhat - businesslike this time around, especially compared to
The Eternal Tide
(admittedly an extraordinary and emotional situation for both of them, but still), and given everything they've been through and the things they'd both previously said in
The Eternal Tide
(and earlier) about their commitment to each other going forward, I was surprised they both seemed rather nonchalant about their relationship this time, from the unemotional parting to the way they think back to each other throughout the book (or don't) to the rather strained reunion. Kathryn doesn't seem to consider much of a place for him in the new life she's trying to build (though I do understand the importance of having her establish herself on her own - I was reminded of Phoebe's description of her emerging like a phoenix from the haze of grief after hr father and Justin's death from
Full Circle
). I did love her reflecting at her memorial in San Francisco; one of my favourite scenes.
I know it won't be easy for them to balance command and a relationship - I wouldn't expect it to be - but I had hoped they might finally get a chance to commit to each other more than they've had a chance to in the past, as in previous novels they had both expressed a desire to, so this felt like a step back for them. With Kathryn living on the Vesta now - and Starfleet's discouragement of their relationship - I don't know how they're going to move forward, either, but then again I may be surprised. I'm usually kept guessing - in a good way - by these books. At least they're in the same quadrant now.
So yes, a great deal of really interesting setups with the Confederacy, the new (much more manageable) fleet, Tom, Seven and Sharak leaving, the worrying seeming-alliance of old, familiar enemies, What Julia Did, Patient C-1, What The Doctor Did, what Starfleet are up to, the plague etc. 'Protectors' left us in a really exciting place and I already can't wait for the next installment.
Thankfully it's not too long a wait this time!

"There are news accounts that New Yorker Bob Kerrey has once again changed his mind and will now run for the U.S. Senate. The question Nebraska voters must answer is – of the top candidates from either party – who is the consistent leader that will help bring real change to Washington,"
Click here to learn more about Don Stenberg: http://StenbergForSenate.com
"At this very serious time in our history, we need a senator who is committed to the job, not one who has to be talked into it like Bob Kerrey, or who's looking for personal gain or fueling political ambition, like Jon Bruning," Stenberg said.
"New York already has two liberal U.S. Senators, Bob Kerrey would be their third. Kerrey would no doubt cast votes in support of Senator Harry Reid and the other liberal Democrats who have imposed ObamaCare, trillion dollar deficits, and job killing federal regulations on our nation," he said.
"I will offer a new direction for our nation. That new direction will include the repeal of ObamaCare, substantial reductions in federal spending and regulation so we can create jobs, development of our domestic energy resources, and the securing of our borders."
"Nebraskans want a Senator who will go to Washington and fight for our values, someone who will stand up to political insiders from both parties," Stenberg said.
# # #
Mr. Stenberg served as Nebraska Attorney General from 1990-2002 and was elected Nebraska State Treasurer in 2010. GOP U.S. Senate nominee in 2000 against Ben Nelson. Genuine, lifelong conservative. Supports 2nd Amendment, pro-life, balanced budget.

At the end of February this year, Norway's Energy Ministry published information on hydrocarbon reserves in light of geological survey data obtained in an area which came under Norwegian jurisdiction under an agreement with Russia in 2010. The information confirmed speculation by experts regarding the presence of high-grade deposits: Norwegians estimate that the volume of their new resources is 31 percent higher than previously calculated, 85 percent of which is natural gas and the rest – oil. What are the implications of this for Russian gas exports to Europe, including to Germany?..

New technologies and climate change have significantly raised the profile of Arctic resources for the global economy. According to the Economist, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Many experts quoting Alfred T. Mahan's work «The Influence of Sea Power Upon History" agree that seaborne commerce in the High North will become an important geopolitical factor over the next several decades. Prospects of political dominance in the Arctic provoke heated debates sometimes overdramatised by the media.

Jill Scott, Maxwell return to re-branded Essence
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Essence Music Festival is dropping the music — from its name, that is.
The festival held in New Orleans every July 4th weekend for the past 18 years has rebranded itself The Essence Festival. Organizers say the change is designed to showcase the event as more than a music festival.
Still, music will remain a focus for the 19th annual festival, which is July 4-7.
The lineup includes more than 30 acts — a number of them Essence veterans. On the roster are Jill Scott, Maxwell, New Edition, Charlie Wilson, Keyshia Cole, LL Cool J and Brandy.
As in past years, concerts will be held at the Superdome while empowerment seminars on health, beauty, careers, education and relationships are held at a nearby convention center.

ICD codes are always the codes recognized by CMS for billing purposes; in DSM-5 the numeric codes for each diagnosis are in fact almost invariably the same codes used by the World Health Organization in the ICD-9. In the DSM-5 manual there is a second code, in grayscale font, which begins with a letter (almost always F). This is the ICD-10-CM code.

November 29, 2011 (BRONX, NY) Using advanced imaging techniques and cognitive tests, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and Montefiore Medical Center , the University Hospital and academic medical center for Einstein, have shown that repeatedly heading a soccer ball increases the risk for brain injury and cognitive impairment. The imaging portion of the findings was presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago.
The researchers used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), an advanced MRI-based imaging technique, on 38 amateur soccer players (average age: 30.8 years) who had all played the sport since childhood. They were asked to recall the number of times they headed the ball during the past year. (Heading is when players deliberately hit or field the soccer ball with their head.) Researchers ranked the players based on heading frequency and then compared the brain images of the most frequent headers with those of the remaining players. They found that frequent headers showed brain injury similar to that seen in patients with concussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The findings are especially concerning given that soccer is the world's most popular sport with popularity growing in the U.S., especially among children. Of the 18 million Americans who play soccer, 78 percent are under the age of eighteen. Soccer balls are known to travel at speeds as high as 34 miles per hour during recreational play, and more than twice that during professional play.
After confirming the potentially damaging impact of frequent heading, "Our goal was to determine if there is a threshold level for heading frequency that, when surpassed, resulted in detectable brain injury," said

Technological innovations over the past year include the August launch of the OSA's interoperability prototype, offering specific standards and best practices for delivering a Common Customer View (CCV) across open applications. Last November saw the OSA hosting the Philadelphia Customer Forum, the fourth in the association's customer forums focused on helping technology professionals take advantage of the ever-widening market for open software solutions.
Given the size of the U.S. software market, it is wholly understandable that much of the association's initiatives have had a North American focus. However, as the OSA moves into its second year, it's time to think about the idiosyncrasies of different markets. Though smaller than the U.S. in terms of overall software revenue, Europe is one of the most advanced open source markets worldwide and represents a considerable opportunity for forward-thinking companies.
As such, the OSA recently announced plans to expand the organization's global footprint, opening its first regional chapter to address the European market.
The European Open Source Contribution
Pierre Audoin Conseil, a Paris-based analyst firm, recently reported that the French market for open source software reached 730 million euros in 2007, a leap of 66 percent from the previous year. Gartner Research, meanwhile, is forecasting that open source software adoption rates will continue to increase across
Europe has made important contributions to the Open Source movement. In Sweden, MySQL recently broke the record for the acquisition price of an open source startup, when Federal antitrust regulators cleared Sun Microsystems's $1 billion purchase of the open source software developer. Several successful Linux distributions originated in Europe, and a large number of global open source players, such as OSA members Onepoint, Openbravo and Talend, also have European roots.
Meanwhile, the European Union's enforcement of antitrust sanctions against Microsoft and the EU's continuing resistance to software patents provide a legal framework in which open source can continue to thrive.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented.

In a country where 58% of African American 4th graders are functionally illiterate, The Lottery uncovers the failures of the traditional public school system and reveals that hundreds of thousands of parents attempt to flee the system every year. The Lottery follows four of these families from Harlem and the Bronx who have entered their children in a charter school lottery. Out of thousands of hopefuls, only a small minority will win the chance of a better future. Directed by Madeleine Sackler and shot by award-winning cinematographer Wolfgang Held, The Lottery uncovers a ferocious debate surrounding the education reform movement. Interviews with politicians and educators explain not only the crisis in public education, but also why it is fixable. A call to action to avert a catastrophe in the education of American children, The Lottery makes the case that any child can succeed.
The ginger stepchild of President Obama's election platform, it seems that this country's broke-ass education system is finally stepping up for its media moment. On the heels of a recent 60 Minutes piece on Washington, D.C.'s SEED school and New York Times Magazine cover story focused on education reform comes The Lottery, a precise, impassioned look at the battle between zone and charter schools in Harlem. Director Madeleine Sackler interweaves the stories of four charter hopefuls and their families with an exploration of an issue whose politics have grown so complex that they squiggle even partisan lines. Sackler finds personal, persuasive points of entry for key factors in the debate: Statistics contrasting the annual amounts spent on a child's education and a prisoner's housing are followed by the account of a school lottery entrant's incarcerated father, who laments his lack of choice as much as the choices he made. An electrifying community meeting finds Harlem Success president Eva Moskowitz both vilified and heralded as "our Obama"; by local parents, as the unions depend on such poorly understood class and neighborhood tensions to maintain the status quo. Sackler reframes education reform as a moral issue, and it's impossible to look at the fallen faces of kids turned away from a school of all things and disagree. --The Village Voice
'What's funny," says Madeleine Sackler, "is that I'm not really a political person." Yet the petite 27-year-old is the force behind "The Lottery" an explosive new documentary about the battle over the future of public education opening nationwide this Tuesday. In the spring of 2008, Ms. Sackler, then a freelance film editor, caught a segment on the local news about New York's biggest lottery. It wasn't the Powerball. It was a chance for 475 lucky kids to get into one of the city's best charter schools (publicly funded schools that aren't subject to union rules). "I was blown away by the number of parents that were there," Ms. Sackler tells me over coffee on Manhattan's Upper West Side, recalling the thousands of people packed into the Harlem Armory that day for the drawing. "I wanted to know why so many parents were entering their kids into the lottery and what it would mean for them." And so Ms. Sackler did what any aspiring filmmaker would do: She grabbed her camera. Her initial aim was simple. "Going into the film I was excited just to tell a story,"; she says. "A vérité film, a really beautiful, independent story about four families that you wouldn't know otherwise" in the months leading up to the lottery for the Harlem Success Academy. But on the way to making the film she imagined, she "stumbled on this political mayhem really like a turf war about the future of public education." Or more accurately, she happened upon a raucous protest outside of a failing public school in which Harlem Success, already filled to capacity, had requested space. "We drove by that protest," Ms. Sackler recalls. "We were on our way to another interview and we jumped out of the van and started filming." There she discovered that the majority of those protesting the proliferation of charter schools were not even from the neighborhood. They'd come from the Bronx and Queens. "They all said 'We're not allowed to talk to you. We're just here to support the parents." But there were only two parents there, says Ms. Sackler, and both were members of Acorn. And so, "after not a lot of digging," she discovered that the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) had paid Acorn, the controversial community organizing group, "half a million dollars for the year." (It cost less to make the film.) Finding out that the teachers union had hired a rent-a-mob to protest on its behalf was "the turn for us in the process." That story of self-interested adults trying to deny poor parents choice for their children provided an answer to Ms. Sackler's fundamental question: "If there are these high-performing schools that are closing the achievement gap, why aren't there more of them?" The reason is what Eva Moskowitz, founder of the Harlem Success Academy network and a key character in the film, calls the "union-political-educational complex." That's a fancy term for the web of unions and politicians who defend the status quo in order to protect their jobs. In the course of making "The Lottery," Ms. Sackler got to know the nature of that coalition intimately. "On day one, of course, I was very interested in all sides. I was in no way affiliated." From the beginning, she requested meetings with then UFT President Randi Weingarten, or anyone representing the union position. They refused. Harlem's public schools weren't much more accessible. "It was easier to film in a maximum security prison," something Ms. Sackler did to interview a parent "than it was to film in a traditional public school." Viewers still get a sense of the union's position, but it comes from the mouths of some unsavory New York pols. Take, for example, a scene from the film featuring a City Council hearing... --The Wall Street Journal
"The Lottery" is one of the more persuasive documentaries of recent months. It deals with the issue of charter schools in New York City's Harlem, about their great success and about the families that wait in hope of the annual lottery, by which children gain admittance. Three thousand apply for fewer than 500 openings. They're called "charter" schools because they operate according to a five-year charter with the city or state, and if they don't get results at the end of that period, they're closed. Though funded by government money, they operate outside the teachers unions. The school year and the class days are longer, and teachers who are underperforming are fired. According to the documentary, it's almost impossible to get rid of a bad teacher under the union system, and even when it happens, the process costs the city approximately $250,000. From a distance, this might seem like a dry subject for a documentary, but as filmmaker Madeleine Sackler makes clear, this is a matter of life and death to the parents. Aside from the charter schools, the public education system in Harlem is a disaster. Out of the 23 non-charter schools, 19 have fewer than half the students reading at grade level. Thus the lottery could very well determine the entire course of a child's life - even its length. The schools under the regular system are factories of failure and incubators of crime. So you'd think that the successful model established by Eva Moskowitz, a mother of three who founded the first charter schools in Harlem, should be the educational road map for the city of New York. But no. The documentary shows the stranglehold that the teachers union has on politicians, particularly Democratic politicians. The arrogance and ignorance of some of these politicians is galling, particularly in the scene in which Moskovitz testified before an education panel. Fortunately, some Democratic politicians, such as Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker, are bucking the trend. By the time the lottery takes place, viewers understand all that's riding on it. You look at all these beautiful kids, with all the potential in the world, and every expectation for a great life, and you know that at most one-sixth of them will come out of the room with a fighting chance. That shouldn't be. --The San Francisco Chronicle
