You know that feeling you have when you've read a number of books and haven't talked about any of them? That vaguely uneasy feeling that makes you feel kind of bad for even being online at all since you're obviously not doing anything of value?
That's kind of where I've been living in 2016. I read a bunch of books over Christmas and meant to get on here and talk about them and then I just didn't. And now we're in that horrible place where I read some of these books WEEKS ago and I'm supposed to discuss them in a meaningful way?
To clear the backlog (mostly of guilt) I'm going to batch them together in mini-reviews. No rhyme or reason to the groups. Random. Kind of like these posts in the first place.
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. I was not going to read this. And then I overheard someone in a bookstore mention to a customer that she had never cried so hard reading a book. My sister and a friend both had the same experiences. I got it for Christmas and it was the first book I read in 2016.
Vianne Mauriac's husband has left for the front and she and her daughter, Sophie, are left to care for their home as best they can. Soon a German soldier tells them that he's going to be billeting in their home, complicating all their lives. Vianne's sister, Isabelle, has always been rebellious and more than a little bit reckless. Having been kicked out of a final school, she is at a loose end when Paris is invaded. Running from Paris, to Vianne's small village, she meets a young man and falls in love. That's how she becomes involved in the Resistance.
It took me ages to become invested in this book. Maybe I've been reading too much WWII fiction – at times it felt like we were just checking off WWII cliches from a list: forbidden love, German soldier living with you, resistance fighters, Jewish complications, harsh winters, poverty and black markets. But at some point, it becomes more than that. It's two sisters, each fighting for their future, sacrificing almost everything in the process. As they fight for survival, they also fight each other and the relationship that has always been complicated.
In the end, I was bawling my eyes out on the bus, despite being told not to read the end on the bus. So I guess it was worth it.
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante. Everyone and their mother seems to have read this story of two friends, Elena and Lila, growing up in a poor neighbourhood in Naples post-WWII. Seems like you either love it or you hate it.
Heinous cover art aside, I fall somewhere in the middle. I love that Ferrante is this anonymous person, who does not discuss the work once it is finished. I love the era in Italy and getting a chance to learn something about what it was like to be a child in an Italy freshly ravaged by war, the social structure that dictated daily life.
But mostly I found it hard going to even get through this. I wanted to give up a number of times. Lila and Elena are best friends but they also act kind of like enemies. It seems more like the accident of their having been born around the same time in the same building, meant that they were expected to be friendly. Elena ends up excelling in school, going to the high school and learning Latin and Greek while Lila is pulled out of school once elementary school is over. Yet, Lila still manages to learn Greek and Latin and accounting and design shoes in her father's shop.
At times I wasn't totally convinced that Lila wasn't a sociopath. We follow the girls to the day of Lila's wedding and then it ends. But it's the kind of ending that is supposed to make you want to pick up the next book. I admit that I am curious. I know that IF I do pick up the next book, The Story of a New Name, it will be from the library.
OK. That's two out of the way. There are more to come! Probably!
PS if you have a snappy name for these, hit me up!

Seasonal Decorating Savings
By Debra Jacobson
When the holidays come around we all find the spirit of giving, making, and spending. The latter is the one we dread, but it is also the one we can work around if we have the right tips to follow. We may enjoy the aspects of writing out the lists, checking them twice, and then delving into a full-blown travel spree to find everything we have decided upon, but it is the actual spending of our own hard-earned money that puts us in a bind. We love our friends and family and we love to give them gifts to show them that we care but we have to draw the line somewhere. Every year we go through the ritual of piling up credit card debt at the end of the year and then paying it off the next. We have to stop the cycle sometime and what better time than now?
We deserve to save money; shopping-wise is the best way to show that you care for not only others, but also for yourself. We have all read magazine articles that display beautiful pictures of hand-made baskets, ornaments, and gifts that no one would ever guess was made by hand. Isn.t it time you made someone.s day with a beautiful gift that didn.t cost you your arm or your leg? By diving into a pile of craft magazines, Do-It-Yourself blogs, and crafter.s articles you can find amazing ideas for incredible gifts that you.ll be proud to display below your tree. It is always said that to give of your time is better than to give your money. It.s true! Would you rather receive a beautiful basket of soaps, lotions, and pampering items, or a gift certificate to Wal-Greens? It is all about personalization and making a gift that matches the personality and likes of the one it is meant for.
What about making dessert gifts this year? Making recipes of delicious desserts, cookies, brownies, and other yummy items and wrapping them in beautiful papers and foils makes great gifts that costs less than a tank of gas. You could even save enough to buy supplies to create your own outdoor/indoor holiday decorations. When you.ve mastered that then it is time to have the holiday gathering at your house. You can create amazing holidays for much less than you.ve ever spent before, have plenty left over, and then have family and friends asking you for your secret; it is possible, it is frugal, it is all about saving for the holidays.

I guess you could say the name is close to my heart."
Portland, OR (PRWEB) January 09, 2013
Murmur Creative's new site boasts an impressive roster of local design work. Laughing Planet Café, Yakuza, DOC, Ruby Jewel, Stone-Buhr Flour, Dick's Kitchen, and CD Baby are just a few of the notable businesses featured.
"We're really excited about our new site, " said Murmur Creative's president, Andrew Bolton. "We've been so busy working on other people's websites over the last few years it was a struggle to find time to redesign our own. But we're really happy with the results and it showcases the diverse work we've been involved with."
"Murmur's work is top notch. The new site is proof," said Mary Nichols (local social networking maven and founder of Karmic Marketing). "I always refer clients to Murmur, and they're never disappointed."
Established in 2007, Murmur Creative has been quietly defining Portland design for over 5 years. Bolton started Murmur Creative after graduating from Portland State's prestigious design program in 2007. Since then Murmur Creative has grown to include a full time web developer, photographer, and project manager, as well as an ensemble of freelance talent from throughout the community.
Bolton named his business, "Murmur Creative" after his own experience with heart surgery due to a bacterial infection in 2001. "I've recovered," said Bolton with a wink, "but the murmur stayed. I guess you could say the name is close to my heart."
Murmur Creative's new website is viewable at http://www.murmurcreative.com
Murmur Creative is a Portland design studio specializing in brand identity, website design, web development, print design, copywriting, and search engine optimization. Murmur Creative was founded in 2007.

Here is the latest version of an ahk script I call "metagroup". What it does is this. You use the combos, ctrl+numpad1-3 to move among groups of things.
In this case, ctrl+numpad1 (tapped repeatedly) cycles through all your open text files (or text related: Word and WordPad e.g.). Notepad, MetaPad, NotePad++, and a secure-notes program called LockNote are *also* grouped in the "texts" category. Some of these programs won't be on your system, and so won't apply to you.
Ctrl+numpad2 cycles through all "folders"-related items including single folders, Explorer dual-panes, Xplorer², Q-Dir (if you have that program on your system), and Everything Search (again, if you use that tool for local searches).
Ctrl+numpad3 (again, tapped repeatedly) goes through all programs grouped under "browsers". For this script, Firefox, IE, Chrome, and Opera are the switchables.
Finally, Ctrl+numpad4-6 close down all "texts", "folders", and "browsers" respectively. For "texts", you are prompted to save your work if you haven't save the latest changes.
Of course you can change the key combinations, add to the groups, take some away, and make groups of your own. E.g. You could have a group called "media", under which might reside Winamp, Media Player, VLC, Foobar, etc. You would tap their combo repeatedly to switch among them, or tap another combo to shut them all down at once. What you'd want that for, is hard to say, but who knows.
Along with Autohotkey itself, you will want to use its "spy" tool to find what active-window names and or titles your programs report to AHK. Those names you would then use when you add them to a group.
There is much more on using "groups" in Autohotkey here:

There are a number of places in the world where billfish gather in large numbers for various periods of time ranging from a couple of months to 6 months then depart for destinations unknown. These places are pretty famous fishing locales and as such the local economy is heavily dependent on visiting anglers. The Billfish Research Project team is working to develop collaborative relationships with scientists and sportfishermen at these places to initiate research projects. The data obtained from these projects will be provided to fisheries management policymakers.
These are the projects that The Billfish Research Project Team is trying to line up. If you know of anyone who could help with funding, provide logistics support or has a boat and is interested in allowing us to ride along and tag a fish please contact Jamie Walker (email@example.com)
Costa Rica - click to expand
Initiated in December of 2011, the project is be based out of Quepos, Costa Rica in collaboration with Frenzy Sportfishing. During the Proof of Concept phase of this project, the team deployed pop-up satellite tags (PSATs) in two sailfish. The tags are leading edge solar powered PSATs developed by Desert Star Systems and will gather information on location, depth and water temperature to determine the migration patterns of billfish off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The team hopes to deploy up to 20 PSATs in the spring of 2012.

Guatemala - click to expand
Like most of the Pacific coast of Central America, billfish arrive in great numbers off the west coast of Guatemala during the months of January – March and depart in May. Are these part of the same stock as in Costa Rica? Do these fish leave and go to the same place as the Costa Rican fish?
Project currently in the planning stages.
Panama - click to expand
From the time the famous angler Zane Grey tackled huge black marlin in the waters off Pinas Bay, Panama has been a big game angler's mecca. The Billfish Research Project team is anxious to deploy PSATs in this body of fish to determine their migratory patterns. If discovered to be the same body of fish that wander up into Costa Rica and Guatemala, fisheries management policymakers might treat these fish as one large biomass and the resultant improved management of the stock would have long term benefits to the fish and the economies of these Central American countries.
Project currently in the planning stages.
Isla Mujeres, Mexico - click to expand
Famous for its January & February sailfish bite, Isla is a destination for many US based sportfishing boats. Despite its billfishing notoriety scientists know next to nothing about the migratory patterns of the billfish that visit the beautiful waters off this tiny Mexican island located just 10 miles off the mainland city of Cancun. The Billfish Research Project's team considers Isla to be a perfect place to conduct another migration study using PSATs.
Project currently in the planning stages.
St. Thomas, USVI - click to expand
The North Drop around the full moons of June through September sees a huge number of Atlantic Blue Marlin coming through. The smaller males usually arrive first followed by the larger females. So is this a mating aggregation? Maybe so. Where are they when they are not hanging out busting the tackle of anglers? That's what The Billfish Research team hopes to learn by initiating a study there.
Project currently in the planning stages.
Mauritius - click to expand
Located off Madagascar in the Indian Ocean this small country is famous for its beautiful beaches as well as huge blue and black marlin. Currently the records are 1430 for the blues and 752 for the blacks. Prime season runs November to April. Sound familiar? The Team has scientists in Mauritius very interested in studying the migratory patterns of these huge billfish.
Project currently in the planning stages.

New Year New Stuff
Hey friends,
So here we are back in the swing of things after stuffing our faces over the holidays. Just before that though, we were recovering from the insanity and amazingness that was the Vinyl Cafe Christmas Tour with Stuart Mclean. We had such a wonderful time traveling across Canada with a crew of people we will never forget. If you came out to the shows THANK YOU for all the amazing support! We love you Canada!
We are busy preparing some new stuff for you but in the meantime let's take a little "Throwback Tuesday" walk down memory lane and show a little interview from when we played the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, Germany back in September! We did an In Bed With acoustic session of one of our NEWEST songs (like in a bed) and also did an interview. The session is coming soon but in the meantime if you want to see the interview click here —> In Bed With Interview
We talk about cats and dream and nightmares and chainsaws. Basically anything you've ever wanted to know about us.
Thanks for making our 2014 so great. We have many things to share about 2015 coming so soon!

MUFOLD-DB: a processed protein structure database for protein structure prediction and analysis
© He et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2014
- Published: 16 December 2014
Protein structure data in Protein Data Bank (PDB) are widely used in studies of protein function and evolution and in protein structure prediction. However, there are two main barriers in large-scale usage of PDB data: 1) PDB data are highly redundant in terms of sequence and structure similarity; and 2) many PDB files have issues due to inconsistency of data and standards as well as missing residues, so that automated retrieval and analysis are often difficult.
To address these issues, we have created MUFOLD-DB http://mufold.org/mufolddb.php, a web-based database, to collect and process the weekly PDB files thereby providing users with non-redundant, cleaned and partially-predicted structure data. For each of the non-redundant sequences, we annotate the SCOP domain classification and predict structures of missing regions by loop modelling. In addition, evolutional information, secondary structure, disorder region, and processed three-dimensional structure are computed and visualized to help users better understand the protein.
MUFOLD-DB integrates processed PDB sequence and structure data and multiple computational results, provides a friendly interface for users to retrieve, browse and download these data, and offers several useful functionalities to facilitate users' data operation.
- Protein Data Bank
- Loop Modelling
- Protein Structure Prediction
- Protein Data Bank File
- Relative Solvent Accessibility
Protein structure data in Protein Data Bank (PDB) [1] are widely used in studies of protein function and evolution, and they serve as a basis for protein structure prediction. The number of entries in PDB has been increasing rapidly. However, there are two barriers in large-scale usage of PDB data, especially in an automatic fashion. The first barrier is that a large number of protein chains in PDB are highly similar in terms of sequence or structure. For example, many PDB files contain identical chains. Hence, a light version of PDB may be useful. In addition, PDB users often need to obtain a set of PDB chains satisfying some criteria such as structure resolution and sequence length, or they may need to select a representative from a group of similar sequences/structures. The second barrier in large-scale usage of PDB data is that many PDB files have issues due to inconsistency of data and standards as well as missing residues, so that automated retrieval and analysis are often difficult. For example, the sequence in a PDB header is sometimes inconsistent with that in the 3D coordinate part. Another example is that some residues in PDB are modified, and the residue types cannot be easily mapped to the original amino acids. One more issue is that many PDB files have incomplete coordinates containing some residues or atoms without 3D coordinates. This may be due to un-resolved electron density maps. However, it creates problems for a systematic data analysis of large-scale PDB files. Furthermore, if someone likes to perform molecular dynamics simulation or other computational analysis of a given PDB file, it may require preprocessing the file to add coordinates of missing atoms. If the pre-processed PDB files are readily available for download, it may help many simulation users.
Currently, several websites are available to address the first barrier. The PDB website itself can remove similar sequences with specific levels of mutual sequence identity. Other websites such as PDB-Select [2], ASTRAL [3], PDB-REPRDB [4] and PISCES [5] have similar functions, all of which allow users to download a pre-defined chain list or generate a customized list with some sequence or structure criteria. However, the derived chain lists from these websites are typically not updated weekly following the release of hundreds of PDB files each week. Release of non-redundant structure datasets is even slower. For example, the widely used protein structure classification database SCOP [6], which involves extensive manual annotations, was updated years ago (1.75 release in June 2009). It would be useful to incorporate automatic SCOP classification for newly released PDB files, even if the classification quality is suboptimal. In addition, the second barrier in large-scale usage of PDB data, as illustrated above, has not been addressed systematically.
- (1)
Users can search a PDB sequence against several derived sequence databases by using BLAST with specified parameters and browse all the hit sequences.
- (2)
Users can generate a customized list from the entire PDB sequences by setting the filtering parameters, which include full or partial SCOP address, experimental method (e.g., X-Ray or NMR), sequence length, structure resolution (only applied to X-Ray structures), deposit date, and mutual sequence identity level from 90, 80 to 30 percent. This can be used for a non-redundant template database in developing protein energy function and template-based protein structure prediction.
- (3)
Users can input a list of chain names to browse the corresponding information and quickly get the representatives of the involved clusters after clustering with seven levels of mutual sequence identity, from 90 to 30 percent. This utility can be used to cluster a set of sequences to reduce redundancy.
- (4)
MUFOLD-DB carefully processes the PDB sequence and structure to provide users clean data which is much easier to manipulate than the original PDB files. Structures of missing regions with less than 7 residues in PDB chains are predicted by high-quality loop modelling using MODELLER [9], to help structure prediction and function analysis.
- (5)
Multiple data are provided for users to download including sequence, predicted SCOP classification, cleaned PDB format file, and PDB files with loop modelling. Pre-computed sequence and SCOP representative datasets are also provided. These files can be retrieved through a command line without going through a web browser.
- (6)
Users can view each chain in details. Besides the basic information from PDB files, evolutional information represented as sequence logo, secondary structure, disorder region, and three-dimensional structure visualization with JMol http://www.jmol.org are provided.
- (7)
The database is automatically updated every week following the weekly release of PDB.
Construction and content
Data organization
PDB sequence and structure processing
- 1.
The sequences from the header (reference sequence) and coordinate part of PDB file for each chain are aligned through sequence alignment in which gap is not allowed in the reference sequence. The alignment shows the sequence positions missing coordinates, some of which are probably disordered regions. Also, residue index for the "ATOM" part is re-ordered starting from one, according to the alignment.
- 2.
We have restored the residue codes for the majority of the modified residues through "MODRES" records from PDB files.
- 3.
Atoms of a residue beyond its standard amino acid composition are simply removed as it is difficult for various structure prediction and analysis tools, e.g., MODELLER [9], to process them.
- 4.
PDB chains are removed if the structures have only CA or sequences with length less than 30 or contain too many unknown residues ('X's).
- 5.
If alternative conformations exist for residues or atoms (e.g., residue 1 of THR in PDB 1CBN has two conformations), only the first conformation is selected.
Sequence clustering
MUFOLD-DB provides a fast way to generate a subset of chains from the whole dataset with seven levels of sequence identity from 90 to 30 percent. This is implemented by a systematic indexing scheme and pre-computed clustering results. Sequence clustering with threshold from 90 to 40 percent is done using CD-Hit [11]. Clustering into 30 percent of mutual identity is done by all-to-all sequence comparison using PSI-BLAST as the lowest identity cutoff of CD-Hit is 40%. The similarity between two sequences is computed by the PSI-BLAST local alignment identity divided by the average sequence length. The selection of the representative from each cluster is based on combination of sequence length, structure resolution and deposit date. Longer sequence has higher priority to be selected; but if two sequences have a length difference of less than 10 residues, the one with higher resolution will be selected. Here X-ray structures are always assumed more accurate than NMR structures. If these criteria cannot determine the priority, sequences with later deposit date have higher priority as newly resolved structures are more likely to have better quality.
SCOP classification
- 1.
Compare each new sequence in PDB dataset against all sequences of SCOP dataset using PSI-BLAST. Select those hits whose E-value is less than 0.01 and Z-Score of the corresponding CE [12] structure alignment is greater than 4.5.
- 2.
If no hit is found in step 1, compare the query structure to the family representatives of the SCOP dataset. Select those hits whose CE Z-Score is greater than 4.5.
- 3.
When multiple hits are found in step 1 or 2, assign the address of the new protein to the hit with the highest CE Z-Score. When the Z-Score is identical, choose the longest sequence as the representative.
- 4.
Check unassigned regions: If the length is greater than 30 residues, repeat steps 1 to 3 using the sub-sequence; otherwise merge the short unassigned regions to the neighboring domains.
SCOP classification accuracy.
Multi-domain (186)
Single domain (491)
Loop modelling
- 1.
Generate an initial model with the alignment between the sequence in the "ATOM" section and the reference sequence in the "SEQRES" section of the PDB file.
- 2.
Run MODELLER to generate 500 model candidates for residues with missing coordinates (missing loop region).
- 3.
Compute the Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) between the model and the original structure, defined as rmsdRest for the structure other than missing loop regions. If rmsdRest is greater than 0.1 Å, remove the model, in order to keep the experimental structure intact.
- 4.
Compute the DOPE [14] energy for each of the remaining models and select the model with the lowest DOPE energy as the final output.
Additional computational results
To help users better understand the protein, more computational results are integrated. We have calculated sequence profiles for all the sequences by running PSI-BLAST three rounds against the non-redundant (NR) database with the E-value cutoff of 0.001. Sequence profile is represented as a logo image generated using Weblogo [15] for the first 100 alignments extracted from the last round of PSI-BLAST. The secondary structure and solvent accessibility are computed by DSSP. Secondary structure is represented in three states: H (alpha helix), E (beta strand) and C (coil). And relative solvent accessibility (RSA) is computed and classified into three states: E (exposed wherein RSA is greater than 0.37), B (buried wherein RSA is less than 0.069) and I (intermediate, in between) [16]. In addition, a structure image is generated for each chain using Raster3D [17] and MOLSCRIPT [18], and users can view the three-dimensional structure interactively with JMol.
Utility and discussion
MUFOLD-DB has integrated processed protein sequence and structure data from PDB files and multiple-source information from computational results. It has web-based interfaces and utilities for users to retrieve, browse and download data. The system has some limitations. In particular, the added coordinates for missing residues and atoms are based on computational predictions and may not be reliable. Nevertheless, we believe it provides a valuable resource for the protein modelling community and the structural biology in general.
Providing a customized list of chains
Browse feature provides a list of chains
Figure 3C shows the interface for users to browse the chains on a list generated online or the pre-computed dataset such as sequence representatives of SCOP classification or an input list.

What does it mean when we say something is "human nature"? I love these broad questions – are we basically good (thanks Locke) or evil (shout out Hobbes)? Do we have the capacity for altruism? Who are we at our worst moments? Stanley Milgram, a social scientist in the 60's, pushed the limits of experimentation about one area of human nature – our obedient responses to authority. Milgram was filled with questions that sprouted initially from Nazis in WWII. How could a baker or college professor become a guard at a Nazi death camp? Didn't they feel a sense of responsibility? Why didn't they stand up? His research came up with one answer, an answer that also comments about our nature.
- Prior knowledge – ask students to write or talk in pairs about the response to the following, "Think about a time that you did something you that you were uncomfortable about because a person you perceived as an authority told you to. Describe the situation, the people involved, and the outcome. What happened? Who was the authority? Why? Why were you uncomfortable?" Help students share responses and tell them they will learn about an experiment that probes how humans react to the authority.
- Depending on your access – either read the NYTimes article or watch one of the video's below (each is about 8 minutes) that reviews the Milgram experiment. (Ideally – watch the video in advisory and discuss and use the short article for homework).
- Encourage students to take notes on the basics:
- Who are the participants?
- Which of these people are actors?
- What is the machine that the "teacher" is using?
- What is the experiment testing?
- What "Pressures" were put on the teacher when they began to feel uncomfortable? (list quotes if you can).
- What are the results of the experiment?
- What do you think from these events?
- Discuss the Milgram Experiment and the dark side of authority and obedience (and shedding responsibility).
- Why do you think they use roles like "teacher", "experimenter", and "student" instead of names? What do you think this means?
- Does authority have to be a "guy in a white coat". What are other ways we might think about authority? How have you seen people respond to this?
- The original 1960's experiment (10 Min Video) (You can fast forward to get the basics).
- The a recreation of the experiment
- NY Times Article "Decades Later I would Pull the Switch"
- Related Discussion Questions
- Wikipedia Overview of the Experiment
Update: (3.28): Well you might have heard the ruckus all the way from France, but a live French TV show ("The Game of Death") just used the basis of the Milgram experiment for a reality show. They asked members of the audience to flip switches to pulse electricity through a man who needed to be "punished" until the actor (though no one knew this) appeared dead. This has started a hot debate – are humans programed to listen to "experts" and act out on others or do they understand the artifice of the tv context and they are playing out fantasies because they must know it can't be real?
- This experiment has obvious relations to the behavior of Nazis in World War II. Many asked, how could a whole country, usually common working people become part of a discriminatory murder machine? Consider reviewing Facing History and Ourselves materials on Obedience and Conformity specifically in the context of the Holocaust.
- As a reflection from this experiment – assuming this is true, what safeguards do we need to put in place to make sure that people don't shed their responsibility and act (in some cases) barbarically?

For a while now, I've been getting these skin bumps on my fingers. They used to be smaller, and go away after a while, but lately, they are larger and even more annoying. On the palm side of my middle finger, sometimes the skin gets really dry and cracks or peels because of the bumps.
They're sometimes itchy, but mostly painful -- especially when I'm holding something that requires me to bend my fingers (like a pencil).
I live in Florida, so humid climate.
I'm 16 years old and not "intimate" with anyone, so it's not anything I could have acquired through that kind of contact. My mom says she used to get the same little bumps on her fingers when she was my age, but never found out what they were (so maybe it's hereditary?).
They aren't red (unless I scratch at them), so they're a little difficult to see in pictures.
The dermatologist thought it was scabies, but took a skin scraping and said it was possibly a form of eczema. She gave me some "clobetasol propionate cream USP, 0.05%" which hasn't done a thing to help. I don't really want to go back to her and get another skin scraping, since the first time she did it, I nearly passed out and now I have an ugly scar on my ring finger...
Here are some pictures, in which I drew some red lines to show where the bumps are.
-dry, peeling skin on right middle finger
-palm view of left hand
-side view of left index finger
-left index finger
-side view left middle finger
- agitated bump on right index finger

History of the School
Language and literature studies have been an integral part of Wits University's teaching and research activities since the university was inaugurated in 1922. One of the prominent early figures in the field was B.W. Vilakazi, who joined what was then the Department of Bantu Studies in 1935. Vilakazi was the first black academic at Wits, and in one of his poems he wrote about the challenges this presented:
I realise beyond all doubt
That I am lost! Yet well I know I came
To serve my own beloved people -
Aware of them always, I hear them cry:
'Take up your burden and be our voice!'
Vilakazi collaborated with C.M. Doke on a Zulu-English dictionary, one of many seminal works that Doke - as a leading scholar of African languages - produced during his lengthy tenure at Wits. The equally accomplished D.T. Cole took over as Head of the African Languages Department, a position he held for 28 years.
At Wits, the discipline of literary studies, or what is usually called ''English'', has produced or been associated with various significant figures in South African literary history. Herman Charles Bosman was a student at the university in the 1920s; his protege and, later, editor Lionel Abrahams also studied at Wits some twenty years later. (Thus began a line of continuity linking Wits and ''Jo'burg writers'' - writers of Johannesburg in the fullest sense - that stretches to contemporary urban pensmiths such as Ivan Vladislavic.)
In the 1940s, Guy Butler joined the university as a novice member of staff; years later, the protean South African ''man of letters'' would describe the intellectual foment at Wits in the years following the Second World War (largely in response to the introduction of apartheid legislation by the National Party) as an abiding influence on his career.
It was also at this time that a young Nadine Gordimer enrolled at Wits as an undergraduate. Like Abrahams, she would not complete her studies, but maintained a lifelong connection to the university; the Nadine Gordimer Lectures have brought such luminaries as Susan Sontag, Amartya Sen and Carlos Fuentes to the Wits campus.
Over the decades, literature and language studies were affected by changes in curriculum and institutional structure. In 1983, the Department of African Literature was established under the leadership of Es'kia Mphahlele. The Department of Afrikaans had strong links with distinguished figures in Afrikaans literary studies (in the 1950s and 1960s, for instance, N.P. van Wyk Louw was finishing his academic career at Wits, while Ampie Coetzee was starting his). Other significant Afrikaans writers who taught in the Wits Afrikaans department included Ernst van Heerden, John Myles and Marlene van Niekerk. The department was unfortunately closed down in the early 2000s. Continental European literature and language studies have long been established disciplines within the university. French, German, Italian, Portuguese have a long history at the University and have been joined by Spanish.
In 2001 the School of Literature and Language Studies was established along with the other schools in the Faculty. Its name was changed in 2012 to the School of Literature, Language and Media to reflect the importance of two disciplines within the School: Media Studies and Journalism. To compensate for the loss of certain languages in early 2000, the African Language, Creative Writing and Translation programmes continue to encourage scholarship and writing in a wider range of languages at Wits.
That such a revival might form part of a mooted Transnational Heritages Programme, which would also include literature studies in modern European languages, is an indication of the potential linguistic diversity within literary studies at Wits. Continental European literature and language studies have long been established disciplines within the university; French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish are all taught in SLLS.
Future transnational foci would be complemented by projects already under way (such as the ongoing Indian Ocean research of Isabel Hofmeyr and those participating in the South Africa-India Research Thrust) as well as by postgraduate offerings in translation and interpreting.
The Linguistics Department, which is known for ground-breaking instrumental phonetics work on Khoisan languages, has also been a national centre for studying the phonology, morphology and semantics of Zulu, Venda and other southern African languages, as well as South African English.
In 2002, Media Studies was added to the bouquet of offerings in the SLLS, aiming to equip students with critical and analytical skills to understand the institutional role of the media, media production and media audiences in their social context. Another new addition to the School is the Department of South African Sign Language.
The Journalism Programme at Wits, which became part of SLLS in 2008, is an innovative and premier postgraduate teaching and research unit led by Prof Anton Harber, celebrated South African journalist and co-founder, in the 1980s, of the Weekly Mail (later the Mail & Guardian).

Who is in charge? YOU? or this chair?
The other day we were introduced to a very special person whose job is to nurture companies cultures and to motivate groups. I can describe this special individual, as the kind of person who vibrates at a higher frequency, someone that gives you peace and calm as soon as you shake hands with them. As he started his conversation it felt that he was going to deliver a very important message: I wasn't wrong. He told us this metaphor about a chair sitting in front of you, and the chair telling you who you are, after saying this he asked: who has the power in this situation? The answer: The chair has the power in this situation, what the chair says you are is what you believe you are, you are letting this chair dictate your situation, that is you depositing all the power in an external source. Then he continues… if you put this chair behind you and decide not to listen to it, then you are no longer under "The chairs control" you have taken away all the power from it, so bottom line you decide whether you let external on internal sources to determine your circumstances, or you take control over the situation and work towards your goals in despites of what may be going on in your life. How many times we have said to ourselves I can't overcome this obstacle because I am too short, or too fat. That shouldn't be the way to approach life, switch gears, take a deep breath and move that chair away from your sight. I was trying to remember people that overcome obstacles that for others would have meant giant chairs and found these examples: 1. Albert Einstein didn't speak until he was four years old _ He developed the theory of relativity 2. Jim Carrey used to be homeless – One of the best comedians of his era 3. Bethany Hamilton had her arm bitten off by a shark – She won first place in the Explorers Women's Division of the NSSA National Championship 4. Richard Branson has dyslexia – He is the fourth richest person in the UK 5. Stephen King's first novel was rejected 30 times – he has now sold over 350 million copies And the achiever's list goes on forever, just look around and you will realize that success is not equal to lack of obstacles, is more about overcoming these obstacles without letting them decide for us! Don't let the chair take over when you are "The one in control"

Brett Gundlock / National Post
Developers Charles Khabouth (in black) and Mel Pearl in the model suite.
Sydney Loney, National Post · Nov. 19, 2010 | Last Updated: Nov. 19, 2010 1:03 PM ET
"You've got sports, culture, entertainment, nightlife," says Charles Khabouth, making sweeping gestures with both arms to encompass the attractions of the neighbourhood over which Bisha, a 41-storey luxury hotel and condominium, will preside when it opens for business in 2014. "When it comes to location, this is a 12 out of 10."
An address on Blue Jays Way in the midst of Toronto's Entertainment District is just one of the things Bisha will have going for it. Mr. Khabouth himself is another, or so says his business partner Mel Pearl, principal of Lifetime Developments. "Charles is the insurance factor," Mr. Pearl says. "His name is on it — literally."
Bisha was Mr. Khabouth's nickname growing up in Lebanon, before he became a renowned restaurateur and bar-scene baron in Toronto. (Mr. Khabouth is largely responsible for the late-night lineups of scantily clad club goers parked outside hotspots like Kool Haus, the Guvernment and This is London, which are owned and operated by his company, INK Entertainment.)
Now he stands with Mr. Pearl on the floor of Bisha's opulent presentation centre, explaining why the timing of Bisha is right for him — and for the city. "First of all, to carry a project like this you need to have experience and maturity, but still be young enough to run with it," he says.
When Mr. Khabouth first came to Toronto in the '70s, it was the grand hotels that housed the city's nightlife. If you wanted to see a show or go to a club, you went to the Royal York or the King Eddie. "That all went away," he says. "We're going to bring it back."
In addition to 332 condo suites and 100 hotel rooms, Bisha will boast a fitness centre, salon, private residents' lounge, two restaurants and a 7,000-square-foot rooftop patio, bar and infinity pool overlooking the city. "It's a lifestyle space," Mr. Pearl says. "It's more than just the four walls of a condo unit. I imagine people coming home, tossing their keys on the table, then going to socialize in the bar or rooftop lounge."
In keeping with Mr. Khabouth's roots in club culture, there will also be two themed floors: a rock-and-roll floor trimmed in leather and lace, and a Hollywood floor where lush flora and luxurious finishes will lend an airy, L.A. vibe to the space. To create the over-the-top aesthetic, Mr. Pearl and Mr. Khabouth enlisted the design services of Alessandro Munge, principal of Munge Leung.
"There is nothing like this in the city," Mr. Munge says. "It's eye candy everywhere —your brain will spin when you come in." And it's true. From the glossy marble floors and immense columns corseted in black velvet to walls that shimmer in burnished silver foil, there's a lot to take in as you wander through the lobby and presentation centre enroute to the model suite.
Then there are the furnishings, treasures hand-picked from around the globe, including an original French art deco console, a free-standing vintage Murano glass light fixture, and art and sculpture from the likes of Uno Hoffman, Paul Evans and Jeff Goodman.
"I like that the space has layers and that the pieces have stories," Mr. Munge says. Mr. Khabouth even shopped for Bisha at a flea market in Paris — one that featured priceless castle artifacts. "We picked up a few things there," he says nonchalantly.
So who will buy into Bisha? We tried to identify the person and realized we couldn't, Mr. Pearl says. "It's everybody. Our market is not confined to age or career. Just to people with a certain sensibility and taste."
People will want to say "I live at Bisha," Mr. Munge says. "Everyone will want to be a part of it." It may well be the place where paparazzi camp out during the film festival and where people come to capture a taste of celebrity lifestyle. The guest list for Bisha's premiere event included models, actors and politicians, Gucci launched its new perfume (Gucci Guilty) in the space, and Bisha has already been the site of several star-studded charity fundraisers.
But not everyone wants to face a phalanx of photographers when they step out for their morning coffee, which is why Bisha is designed so residents can either embrace, or escape, the scene as their mood dictates. "You can have as little or as much of it as you want," Mr. Pearl says. "It was important to us that there be separate access to the condominiums, so you can drive into your parking spot and take a separate elevator."
Mr. Khabouth and Mr. Pearl envision the Toronto flagship as the beginning of a brand that will expand globally. "We have enough arrogance to believe we can succeed on the world stage," Mr. Khabouth says.
That success hinges on how things go in Toronto — Bisha isn't exactly debuting in an empty condo market. Yes, other major hotels are doing condos, Mr. Pearl says. "Are there too many?" he asks, promptly answering with, "I've been in the business for 30 years and there are always too many. But if you do your job right, it doesn't matter how many there are."
Mr. Pearl and Mr. Khabouth plan to do the job right by being hands on (Mr. Khabouth will be moving in himself) and attentive to every detail. For instance, even the door leading to the model suite is ornate. "It's all custom," Mr. Khabouth says. "You get a rich feel from the moment you step out of the elevator." Once inside, Mr. Khabouth pulls open a drawer in the elegantly appointed bathroom of the model suite. "They're all self-closing and finished on the inside — they're not just those clunk, clunk things," he says. "It's the difference between a $5 hinge and a $140 hinge. It matters in the long run."
Hinges aside, suites will also feature nine-foot ceilings, spacious balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows and Mr. Leung-designed custom cabinetry. But what may ultimately set Bisha apart is its relative affordability, making a celebrity lifestyle accessible to the not-so-rich-and-famous. "We wanted to make it beautiful, but also of value," Mr. Khabouth says.
Units are priced from about $350,000 to more than $1.5- million and range in size from a cozy 379 square feet to more than 1,600 square feet. "It was really important that we had something to fit people's different requirements, whether they're looking for a beautiful home for entertaining, or an elegant pied-à-terre for weekend getaways," Mr. Pearl says.
It's great value for a level of sophistication that's well over the price, Mr. Khabouth says. "And whether it's entertainment, art, service or design, there really is something for everybody. I can't see myself living anywhere else."

MILAN, April 18 (Reuters) - A court in Milan will hold a hearing on Friday to discuss Telecom Italia's (TIM) appeal against a decision by its statutory auditors to add a motion proposed by activist fund Elliott to its April 24 AGM agenda, two judicial sources said.
The court hearing will happen behind closed doors involving only the relevant parties, and will be led by judge Elena Riva Crugnola, the sources said. The judge is not expected to decide on the matter during the hearing but will deposit her decision in writing by Monday, the people added.
The decision is a key element in an increasingly fierce battle between Elliott and TIM's top shareholder Vivendi .
The activist fund has built up a stake of 9 percent in TIM in a bid to shake-up the way Vivendi has been running Italy's biggest phone group. The two investors were meant to face off for the first time at the April shareholder meeting.
Paul Singer's fund had called for six Vivendi-nominated board members, including TIM Chairman and Vivendi CEO Arnaud de Puyfontaine, to be replaced with well-known Italian business leaders in a bid to improve governance and strategy.
But following Elliott's move, eight board members nominated by Vivendi resigned, triggering a vote on a full board renewal at a separate shareholder meeting called for May 4.
Despite the mass resignations, TIM's statutory auditors included Elliott's proposal in the agenda for the April meeting - a decision TIM's board is now challenging in court.

VMware introduced SSO with vSphere 5.1 and over the release SSO has matured very much. SSO can now be connected to multiple authentication domains, like active directory and ldap, so that it can exchange authentication for tokens which are used to access multiple vSphere services.
An Identity Source is a collection of user and group data, which is stored in either Active Directory, OpenLDAP or locally in the OS.
At the time of PSC/vCenter deployment we create one identity source (SSO domain) and after vCenter installation is completed, only the users defined under this SSO domain or localos can login to vCenter. This identity source is internal to vCenter SSO.
A SSO administrator can add additional identity sources for centralized authentication, can define the default identity source, and create users and groups in the default identity source.
In this post we will focus on below tasks:
- Define Identity sources for single sign-on.
- Change Default domain for single sign-On
- Configure Global Permissions for vCenter services
Lets get started.
Verify current SSO configuration
Login to Web Client using administrator@domain and verify the current SSO configuration. You will only see localos and the SSO domain defined at the time of installation.
Before adding any identity source for SSO, we have to make sure that vCenter Server/PSC is joined to the domain which you want to add. To do so navigate to System Configuration > Nodes > vCenter Server/PSC > Manage > Active Directory
Click on join button and provide domain information.
Reboot the node (for changes to take effect) by clicking on Reboot button from Actions menu.
Post reboot of server, verify that domain is listing under Active Directory.
Add new Identity Source
From home page navigate to Administration > Configuration > Identity Sources and click on green plus button to add a new identity source for sso.
There are various options available for identity sources such as AD,AD as LDAP and openldap.
For windows based AD you have 2 choices:
- AD (Integrated Windows Authentication) : This is the default choice when your environment is comprised by a single domain. If you have multiple child domains then refer VMware KB-2064250
In this method you just need to supply your domain name and define the user whose credentials will be used to authenticate against domain.
- AD as an LDAP Server
In this method you have to define numerous entries as shown below. You can reference this article from VMware for filling up the information.
If you are using above method, then make sure to Test Connection between your vCenter server and AD
Hit OK to finish adding the identity source.
Change Default domain for single sign-On
By default, the local OS Identity Source is the default domain. vCenter SSO uses the default domain to authenticate users who log in without a domain name. If users from a domain other than the default want to log in, they must include the domain name when entering their username.
When the newly added domain is set as default domain, users's from that domain can authenticate against vCenter server by just passing username and password. There is no need to define @domain name along with username.
Select the newly added identity source and click on blue button adjacent to the red cross button.
Click Yes for the warning presented.
Configure Global Permissions for vCenter services
To assign global permissions to a user/group, navigate to Administration > Global Permissions and click on green plus button to add a new user or a group.
Select the domain from which you want to add a user and search for the specific user/group which you want to add and click on Add button.
Select the role which you want to assign to the user/group which you just added and make sure Propagate to children button is selected.
If you assign a global permission and do not select Propagate, the users or groups associated with this permission do not have access to the objects in the hierarchy. They only have access to some global functionality such as creating roles.
Now if you want to add any user with System Administrator role, Select users and Groups > Groups and select System.Configuration.Administrators and click on Group Members button to add a user/group. We are doing this so that we can counter issue as described in this article
I hope you enjoyed reading this post. Feel free to share this on social media if it is worth sharing. Be sociable 🙂

Comment of the Day: More to it than a tweet
Yesterday, we told you about the heat Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges is taking for a tweet she published the same morning as a North Side triple shooting.
Some think the tweet was flippant and reflects an indifference to the problems of north Minneapolis. But as commenter Stephen Young exemplifies with the following comment, there's a whole lot more to the story than a single 140-character post.
That's absolutely true, even if the anger expressed by many in response to Hodges's tweet does reflect frustration toward all levels of government and its seeming inability to do much about the issues have long afflicted the North Side.
Send your story tips to the author, Aaron Rupar. Follow him on Twitter @atrupar.

It's About You!
When it comes to sexuality, some of us are a little shy and some of us very liberal. We understand that some people are looking for a little romance, while others are interested in being more adventurous. At the end of the day we are all individual and this means having different needs.
Although it's true that the perception of adult toys and lifestyle products have changed to be more liberal and comfortable, after some research we found that there was still a gap in the local market. We felt what the local online market needed was a reputable, customer service orientated Adult Lifestyle store with an upmarket approach, catering for everyone. The majority of us will not walk into an obscure, offensive or run-down store, even if they are selling what we want, so why should it be different online?
Furthermore, we found that the more sophisticated online stores often seem to have a biased approach in terms of their product offering and marketing. They either cater to a specific sexual orientation or are very gender specific in their marketing. This is where we aim to be different. Regardless of your sexual orientation, we do not discriminate against gender and believe that we have created a unisex environment where men and women can feel comfortable shopping. A private and discreet space for you to explore romance, sensuality, intimacy or items considered a little more "naughty".
We are differentiated not only by the quality products we sell, but more importantly, by the fact that we aim to make you feel comfortable, confident and excited when shopping with us.
Ultimately we want you to have a great experience that continues long after you log off.
Customer Service Promise
We know that the existence of our business is dependent on the level of service we provide and you, our customer, which is why we have implemented a customer centric culture in our business.
The result of our focus was to create a Customer Service Promise that drives every part of our business and every decision we make.
Here is our promise to you:
- To host a secure & safe online shopping environment
- To treat all customer information and interaction as highly confidential and private
- To provide a professional, personal, efficient and discreet world class service
- To ensure that we only stock quality & safe products with detailed descriptions to allow you to make an informed decision
- To attend to all customer queries & feedback as soon as possible
It is important to remember that when it comes to privacy and confidentiality our staff are legally bound by confidentiality agreements. For more information, please view our Terms & Conditions.

Doctors in Miami to remove girl's 16-pound tumor
At 15, Lai Thi Dao has never been to school, has no friends and is rarely allowed outside her family's home because her parents hoped to spare her from the curious stares of neighbors in their small mountain village in Vietnam.
All that, she hopes, will change beginning next week, when she undergoes surgery at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital to remove a massive growth that has consumed the lower half of her face.
Lai suffers from a massive Schwannoma tumor, a benign growth that began with a small lump in her tongue but swelled over the years to a size roughly one-third her body weight.

More springtime edible goodness! Ladybug and Leaf sugar cookies decorated with royal icing.
These were made with a ladybug cutter. I really wish that I had defined the wings - flooded one, let it dry, then flooded the other. I'll try it next time.
These were made with a balloon cutter. Leave it to Sugarbelle of course.
I think that these are my favorites. So cute! But . . .
Keepin' it Real . . .
This is the section in my posts to show you the cookies that I'd really rather not. The cookies that didn't quite live up to the dream.
Little lady bugs marching around, leaving a cute little trail, right? That was the idea. Not as cute as I had hoped . . .
Maybe if the ladybugs had been bigger? The background had been green? The trail was done with a smaller tip? Meh.
Happy Spring!

Women's health is both the focus of my naturopathic practice and a passion in my life. There is no topic I am more excited to talk about, read about and learn about. And within women's health there is no more important topic than hormone balancing. Because hormones are the main factor that differentiates men from women across the lifespan.
In this series I will take you through the basics of some common hormone imbalances that occur in women – progesterone deficiency, estrogen deficiency, estrogen excess, low thyroid hormone, excess thyroid hormone and testosterone excess.
So whether you are just interested in learning more about hormones, or hoping to identify some of your own signs and symptoms in this series, read on and get ready to learn how to heal your hormones.
What is Progesterone?
The reproductive system in women has two main hormones – estrogen and progesterone. Progesterone is our "pro-gestation hormone" – it is produced in the ovaries after ovulation to prepare the uterus for pregnancy. It is also produced in small amounts in the adrenal glands and in large amounts by the placenta during pregnancy.
What Does Progesterone Do?
Progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy by stimulating the production of proteins that prepare the uterine lining for implantation. Progesterone also regulates our menstrual cycle – if a pregnancy does not occur, progesterone levels drop off and a menstrual period will result.
Progesterone is much more than just a pregnancy support hormone. Receptors for this hormone are found in the brain, breasts, blood vessels, and bones, in addition to the receptors in the reproductive organs. Progesterone is the natural balancing agent for estrogen – preventing estrogen from producing too many growth-stimulating effects on our tissues.
Progesterone also has significant anti-anxiety and relaxing effects on the body. It helps our mind and body cope with stress and can promote healthy sleep.
Changes in Progesterone Hormone Balance
Production of progesterone peaks in our mid-reproductive years – around 25 years of age. After that age we see steady declines in progesterone production until perimenopause and menopause when production drops off almost entirely.
Women who do not experience regular periods, or women who are not ovulating typically have low levels of progesterone as well.
Symptoms of Progesterone Deficiency
Low levels of progesterone can lead to a vast number of symptoms. Many of the symptoms are not taken seriously by doctors or may be attributed to other causes (especially anxiety, depression, insomnia and PMS). But for a large number of women the real cause of symptoms is an imbalance in progesterone levels.
Symptoms of Progesterone Deficiency
- Premenstrual mood changes
- Painful or lumpy breasts
- Insomnia
- Premenstrual headaches
- Anxiety
- Infertility
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Unexplained weight gain
The Progesterone Hormone Web
No hormone functions in isolation. Each hormone in our body interacts with other hormones for optimal balance. Progesterone interacts with a number of important hormones, a few of which are noted here:
Progesterone is the natural balancer to estrogen. When progesterone levels are deficient, we can see symptoms of estrogen dominance. These include the symptoms listed above but also:
- heavy periods
- fluid retention
- foggy thinking
- decreased sex drive
Progesterone is the direct precursor to the production of cortisol, our stress/survival hormone. If progesterone levels are low, our ability to cope with stress diminishes and we may develop anxiety, depression, insomnia or feel overwhelmed.
Thyroid Hormone
Thyroid hormones stimulate the production and release of progesterone from ovarian cells. Thyroid hormone also influences the formation of progesterone receptors on cells throughout the body. If your thyroid function is low (hypothyroidism) you may also be experiencing low progesterone levels.
Hormone Healing for Progesterone Deficiency
Laboratory testing is necessary for all women seeking treatment for progesterone deficiency. It is imperative to understand the balance in the different hormones before starting any type of hormone treatment.
A lifestyle approach to improving progesterone levels is the foundation for all other treatments. Decreasing stress levels, encouraging a healthy diet that provides adequate protein and healthy fats, and engaging in regular exercise are all important to balancing progesterone levels.
There are a vast number of nutrients, and plant-based botanical medicines that can influence the production of progesterone. Some women also choose bioidentical progesterone cream, which can be prescribed by Naturopathic Doctors in Ontario who have prescribing rights.
Vitamin B6
Necessary for appropriate ovulation and subsequent progesterone production. If you are deficient, you will likely also be deficient in progesterone. Excellent food sources include tuna, salmon, turkey, chicken, sweet potato, sunflower seeds and dark leafy greens.
Magnesium is necessary for detoxification of hormones, especially estrogen. If you are deficient in magnesium you may have higher circulating levels of estrogen, resulting in a relative progesterone deficiency. Food sources of magnesium include pumpkin seeds, leafy greens, soy beans, sunflower seeds, and beans.
Chaste berry (Vitex agnus-castus)
Chaste berry (or chaste tree) has been found to increase progesterone levels during the second half of the menstrual cycle. It can also help to balance other hormones such as prolactin. Your Naturopath can help you decide if chaste berry is right for you
Bioidentical progesterone cream
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are identical to those in your body to balance your hormones and relief symptoms of hormone imbalance. Bioidentical progesterone is made from wild yams or soybean and is typically applied in cream form during the second half of the menstrual cycle.
Transdermal progesterone results in effective absorption of progesterone and movement of progesterone to the target tissues – brain, uterus, breast and blood vessels – to decrease symptoms. It is typically used twice per day and dosages vary – your Naturopath will work with you and a compounding pharmacy to establish your proper balance of hormones.
Hormone imbalance is not in your head – it is in every cell in your body. If you think your hormones are out of balance, talk to an experienced and qualified Naturopathic Doctor to help you find your optimal balance.

It was sad to learn yesterday of the death of Milton Babbitt, at the age of 94. As Marc Geelhoed put it – "we're down to Boulez and Carter". It feels like an entire generation will leave us misunderstood.
Maybe this is something to do with being European and outside his intellectual solar system, maybe it's my own laziness and blindspots, but I've never yet caught up with Babbitt's music. I'm not able to write about a particularly revelatory moment when his music touched me, or what it meant to me personally. Not because I don't like what little I've become familiar with, but because I simply haven't found enough of it for myself.
Babbitt – most of all that extraordinary generation – was known by a reputation that could persist in almost the complete absence of any notes. 'The Composer as Specialist/Who Cares if You Listen' was like a plunging neckline that dared and/or hypnotised anyone who came close, and few had the manners to look back up at the face. Only the other day I grumbled on a messageboard that one thing I didn't want to hear again in 2011 was the 'Who Cares if you Listen' appeal. I feel acutely embarrassed writing now that I felt that way but still don't know enough of Babbitt's music – which by so many accounts is wonderful.
So, in place of an obituary, a couple of things that have been going around the internet today: First, Babbitt's Second String Quartet, with accompanying score. "I remember the first time I listened to Milton Babbitt's 2nd String Quartet…such a beautiful and charming piece" – @JACKQuartet.
Someone who did look up from the neckline was Greg Sandow, in this essay on Babbitt's music. I think this is fantastic writing – which at least suggests that there was something more moving and inspirational to Babbitt than the one thing we all already knew about him.
Two-note phrases – duality — are everywhere … All this turns zany after a while, as if the director of a two-character play had put two of every set piece and prop on stage, and made up each actor with two putty noses. … I'd suggest that the proper pairing for Babbitt is not Stefan Wolpe, who despite his own formidable complexity comes off bland in comparison, but Mozart, whose equally transparent and unpredictable but less intense music would put Babbitt's in fascinating relief.

This week's visitor put up for Pop Well being was written by Alyssa Anderson. She is a Community Health Education graduate student specializing in health promotion and work website wellness. Initially, she thought worker wellness was her area of interest but soon found that social media took 1st place in her coronary heart. Discovering methods to weave well being promotion, advertising, and communication with social media is her most important focus lately. She at the moment lives on Pensacola Seashore, FL, having fun with her slice of paradise on the Gulf Coast. So, you are admitted with a unique and uncommon disease. It might be a condition that your nurses will not be acquainted with. Whenever we don't perceive a disease or know the answer to your query, you'll be able to make sure that we're actively searching for the answer online. Let's simply hope that your nurse makes use of a legitimate medical proof-primarily based resource reminiscent of UpToDate relatively than Wikipedia. An ER-tech is just about a CNA that's educated on the job within the ER. They carry out many of the similar features, however you will discover that they have a much more interactive expertise and it is far more fast paced. They might rent you when you have your EMT certification, but again, I think it's all hospital primarily based.
