By the time President Barack Obama delivered his second and final State of the Union address, he had already given the country a list of industry and career sectors that will matter greatly to the U.S. economy and security during and beyond his second term. Identified in the president's second-term inaugural speech, these sectors have nothing to do with his personal preferences, or with the platform of any political party. Instead, they have everything to do with the demands of a world increasingly shaped by urbanization and rapidly strengthening emerging nations with young populations; everything to do with America's determination to remain the safest, most powerful, most prosperous democracy. Here's the president's list, in alphabetic order, and their identifying language in the inaugural address.
• Compliance. "A free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play."
• Defense. "We will defend our own people … through strength of arms and rule of law."
• Diplomatic service. "Engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear."
• Education/training. "A modern economy requires … schools and colleges to train our workers."
• Entrepreneurship. "Our celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence on hard work… these are constants in our character."
• Environmental science. "We will respond to the threat of climate change … None can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms."
• Health care. "We reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that build this country and investing in the generation that will build its future."
• Immigrant services. "Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity."
• Renewable energy. "The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition. We must lead it."
• Research and development. "We must harness new ideas and technology… We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries, we must claim its promise."
• Social services. "A great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life's worst hazards and misfortune."
• Transportation. "A modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce."
In its report "Urban America: US Cities in the Global Economy," published last April, the McKinsey Global Institute noted that "the degree of economic vigor that the economy of the United States derives from its cities is unmatched by any other region of the globe," and that "in the next 15 years [beginning 2010], the 259 large U.S. cities are expected to generate more that 10 percent of global (my emphasis) GDP growth — a share bigger than that of all such cities in other developed countries combined (my emphasis)." I would bet on that expectation if the requisite human, capital and political investments were made in the sectors on the president's list, beginning yesterday.

Aidan Imanova meets pioneering Italian designer Piergiorgio Cazzaniga to discuss the evolution of furniture design from the 60s till today.
"Design is my life — I do it with pleasure. I like to think about it, I like discovering it. At the end of the day, it is something simple. A few lines and something beautiful is born", says Piergiorgio Cazzaniga, a man known for his contribution to modern design that dates back to the 1960s. Years later, design continues to occupy a major part of his life.
Sitting in the new Andreu World showroom in Dubai, surrounded by the works of Patricia Urquiola, Jasper Morrison and Cazzaniga himself, the designer looks back at his early career and his first encounter with design that started almost from the time he was born.
Born into a carpenter's family, Cazzaniga's fascination with design began with watching his father.
"From when I was a child I had seen how to design and how to produce because whatever my father designed and created in his mind, he then created in reality. He brought life to the design process, bringing ideas into reality," he explains.
Following his early exposure to craftsmanship, Cazzaniga entered a special school for design where he met designer Tito Agnoli, he describes as a special moment in his career. He cites Agnoli as someone who showed him a "different approach in communicating design".
While his father taught him the raw and linear process of producing furniture pieces, Agnoli showed him an alternative perspective, to design for the masses. He opened the doors to the industrial process of design and the idea of creating for a specific industry.
"It was then that I understood that design would be my future and my professional career," Cazzaniga says.
From 1962 to 1964, he worked as technical department manager at Besana Mobili and from 1966 to 1971 he continued his career as research and development department manager at Boffi Cucine, where he played a vital role in the European standardisation process of sizes in cabinets and built-in household appliances for kitchens. He then developed all the company's new products designed in that period.
His career then pushed him forward to becoming a partner at the A&D Studio with Luigi Massoni and Abelardo Pelizza, where he designed products, show rooms and exhibitions for leading Italian furnishing companies such as Boffi and Poltrona Frau.
In 1991 Cazzaniga launched his own studio, Piergiorgio Cazzaniga Design, in Milan and it was then that he was able to truly define and express his own artistic personality, his approach and ideas.
From his studio Cazzaniga designed for brands such as Porro, MDF Italia, Desalto and Andreu World, for whom he launched a 2015 furniture collection, which this year won five awards, including the 2015 Red Dot Design Award for his Reverse Conference tables system.
"There has been a dramatic change from the time I started in the design industry to today. In particular, the thing that has changed the most is the world itself," he laughs.
"Design has evolved according to the evolution of the world and the evolution of technology to which we are continuously exposed. It has also evolved to cater to the needs of the market. In fact, I cannot determine how much of this change is a result of the actual change in design or as a result of market demands."
"There are two ways of thinking: one is asking 'what do you need and I will create it?' and the second is the designer realising that there is something missing in the market and proposing it. These two ways of thinking work in parallel to one another," he explains.
"At the end, what remains is usually not what was demanded but what the designer created out of his thoughts and ideas. What remains are designs by Eames, designs that were created in the golden age. They were created 50 or 60 years ago but they are still relevant today. And that is because these designs were created with a greater level of thought. What remains from them is true design, the rest is just decoration."
Cazzaniga cites his influences back to the days of his father's carpentry where he would flip through magazines about Scandinavian and American design, later followed by a trip to Japan that also greatly influenced his aesthetic.
Describing design in its simple form, Cazzaniga says: "Design is an action of creating something beautiful that is not natural. Of course there is a lot of natural beauty around us, but design produces a beauty from the imagination. Natural beauty helps design find beauty that is intelligent and that comes from within your mind, a beauty that is then created."
Cazzaniga's 2015 collection for Andreu World can be seen at the firm's newly launched showroom located in the Jumeirah Business Centre 3 in Jumeirah Lakes Towers.

You Won't Believe How Ghostface Killah Slays Martin Shkreli
Big Pharma crook Martin Shkreli is dissed by WU TANG's Ghostface Killah after making puns at the rapper on TMZ.
Martin Shkreli is a Big Pharma founder and control arm for the Turing Pharmaceutical company that produces a new medication in treating AIDS. Shkreli raised the price of the AIDS medicine, Daraprim, from $13 dollars a pill up to $750 overnight. With an overflow of money from the Shkreli hedge fund, he acts playful in his wealth through the internet, going as far as to bad mouth rapper Ghost Face Killah on TMZ after buying a one-and-only copy of a WU TANG album for $2 million. The rapper replied in a diss of Shkreli calling him out on his corporate greed.
Crooked Man trapped in a 12-year-old body
Ghostface Killah replied to a video of Martin Shkreli dissing him and his rapper-posse with his own video to parody Shkreli. In it Ghost Face says "you look like a man trapped in a 12-year-old body" calling him "Peewee Shkreli" and featuring memes of him eating a hot dog in a peewee bow tie, as well as a photo of Shkreli in a suit riding a pill bottle like a cowboy rides a bull, like the bomb that drops from the sky in the film "Dr. Strange Love".
"He doesn't have a real bone in his body", says Killah, "and you wanna act like we are some washed up rappers? After you bought a WU TANG album for $2 million?? But who washed up now?? Money don't make you a man."
Killah goes on to point out that Shkreli raised the AIDs medication by nearly 5,000% to make profits on the weak and poor. He goes on to say that Shkreli was never raised in a poor community, and probably never had to suffer under circumstances of low income and poverty, "probably eating ice cream and having sleep over with his boys' as a kid.

Michael Jackson 's daughter will this week talk for the first time about her dad's last days as she gives evidence in court.
Paris, 14, has agreed to join brother Prince as a key witness in the $40billion lawsuit against Jacko's concert promoters AEG, who they claim negligently hired his doctor.
Both Prince, 16, and Paris spoke with the pop king as he battled drug issues and his concert bosses before his death on June 25, 2009.
A source close to the family said: "Both heard and saw certain things during Michael's last few weeks alive. Prince was always going to give evidence, but Paris's inclusion is something of a shock.
"She was very strong and assured in her depositions with AEG's lawyers so we decided she should talk too."
The trial in LA centres on a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the children and their guardian Katherine, who is Jackson's mother.
Katherine claims AEG negligently hired and supervised the physician convicted of supplying Jackson with a fatal dose of propofol.
AEG claims Dr Conrad Murray was employed by Jackson and it was unaware he was a danger as the star prepared for his comeback This Is It tour.
The family source added: "It has taken four years for the family to tell the world the story about what they feel led to Michael's death.
"It will be up to a jury to decide whether Michael's death is down to his promoters. The family claim they have evidence which has never emerged before and it is explosive."
The family said Prince heard key discussions about the tour, Michael's health and what was expected of Murray.
Murray is serving a four-year jail sentence for involuntary manslaughter and refused to give evidence at the trial in Los Angeles as he is appealing.
The Jacksons hope to win $40billion in lost earnings if AEG is found liable in the three-month case.

This is the second of three office hours hosted by David. View the first office hours here.
David Liben, of Student Achievement Partners, shares a wealth of tips and resources to help prepare your students for the Common Core ELA standards.
Reading Strategies and Close Reading
- "Rethinking Reading Comprehension Instruction," by McKeown, Beck, and Blake, is a study that compared the effects of content instruction (using text-dependent questions) to the effects of strategies instruction, and found that content focused instruction had greater benefits.
- Cognitive Scientist Daniel Willingham's Blog, presents research and describes the danger of excessive focus on comprehension strategies.
Examples of Rich Complex Text
- Appendix B of the Common Core State Standards (Text Exemplars & Sample Performance Tasks)
- Close Reading Model lessons from achievethecore.org give examples of rich, complex texts and lessons to help students access them.
- Achieve's EQuIP Exemplars offer peer reviewed, Core-aligned lesson materials. (Scroll to the middle of the page and click the tab named "EQuIP Exemplars.")
- CCSSO's Navigating Tex Complexity website includes a list of exemplar texts as well as analysis of what makes them complex.
Examples of good questioning technique:
- Authors Fisher and Frey, describe the excellent "Note And Wonder" strategy. For more information, see for example, Rigorous Reading: 5 Access Points for Comprehending Complex Texts.
- EngageNY offers a free curriculum online. Their grades 3-8 materials were developed by Expeditionary Learning and offer good examples of questions and questioning techniques.
Using Basal Readers
- This lesson bank offers Common Core-aligned replacement lessons for basals published before the Common Core (pre-2010).
- To learn more about or join the group that created these lessons, the Basal Alignment Project (BAP), click here.
- There are lots of new resources that say they're Common Core-aligned. Use the Publisher's Criteria to evaluate whether they are really aligned to the Standards. If IMET is on atc we could use that as well.
Read Alouds
- Model Read Aloud lesson for K-2 classrooms, based on the poem, The Wind, available here.
- K-2, teachers all over the country are also working to create Common Core-aligned Read Aloud lessons, through the Read Aloud Project. Access the resources they create or join the group through Edmodo, using the group access code: pkx52i
Volume of Reading and Vocabulary
- Long-term reading success depends on not just close reading, but also on volume of reading.
- This article by Marilyn Jager Adams in American Educator explains how a series of texts on related topics is the fastest way to grow the vocabulary needed to access complex text. She also cites research by Thomas Landauer showing the powerful relationship between volume of reading and vocabulary growth.
Guided Reading
- "'Both And' Literacy Instruction K-5," is a new paper from Student Achievement Partners that explains how to use guided reading successfully with the Common Core.
- Literacy expert, Tim Shanahan's blog talks about the value of complex text and the problems with leveled reading.

In an effort to become the ruler of all online streaming music, Parker Lieberman recently announced that he will be launching his social music platform, Dropp.fm, into a public beta. The idea is for him to prove to music lovers that they haven't yet experienced a platform based purely around music and social behavior.
In other words, he's tailored his platform to be the Pinterest for music lovers. That means that no matter what means you use to get your music fix, you can share your tunes with friends, co-workers, and family.
Dropp.fm users can share their music via the Dropp bookmark button while receiving exponentially more new music selections from Dropp.fm's social feed. The platform also automatically archives and organizes individual music collections into playlists while simultaneously engaging users via trending and chart topping tracks.
"Dropp.fm makes organizational sense out of vast music collections amassed all over the web while introducing users to a whole host of new music they would ordinarily never discover," says Lieberman. "The combination of the newest music on the internet and interactions with your friends is what makes Dropp.fm so unique."
Lieberman made a good decision here when he decided to go beyond just creating another music streaming platform. And the beauty of his Dropp.fm platform is that he has, in effect, eliminated the need to rely on license services to experience and share music socially.

MLB Daily Fantasy Helper: Tuesday 6/30/15
If you've never played daily fantasy baseball before, it's time to start. Unlike traditional leagues, you're able to select the players you want on that specific day only, giving you a different squad to root for each and every day.
And while there are many platforms to play daily fantasy baseball on, one of our favorites is from our partners over at DraftKings.com, a place where over $300,000,000 will be won this baseball season. Never played over there before? It's time for that to change. Sign up now and use our optimal lineups here at numberFire.com to crush the competition. You won't regret it.
As for today's lineups -- those can be found here. The information below is to help you understand why particular players are being picked, because we don't want you going into the things completely blind. We want to help you. Keep in mind, however, that things often change up until the games start, so make sure you're refreshing the optimal lineups as close to the start of games as possible.
Top Pitchers
High-Cost Pitcher
Chris Sale – Sale has been on a serious stretch of late and squares off against the St. Louis Cardinals tonight, which doesn't necessarily sound like a good matchup. However, we can't just forget that Sale has notched double-digit strikeouts in seven straight games and in eight of his last 10. Sale's got a strikeout rate of 34.2%, tops in the Majors, and that should be enough to target him today.
Throw in the fact that the Cardinals actually are a below average team against lefites, and things look even more obvious. The Cardinals own a wRC+ of just 89 (which ranks 23rd) against lefties, and their wOBA of .299 ranks 24th. Plus, their strikeout rate of 24.0% against lefties is fourth-highest in the league.
Alternative Options: Sonny Gray (Editor's note: Gray has been scratched from his start; consider targeting Lance Lynn), Cole Hamels
Cost-Effective Pitcher
Marco Estrada – There are a lot of pricey options on DraftKings tonight, and given that it's a full slate, you can probably find enough value bats to pay up for two pitchers. But if you really want to load up on bats, then at least consider Estrada. Dating back to the start of last season, Estrada has a strikeout rate of 20.6%, 10th-highest among pitchers on the slate tonight.
Estrada had a huge outing last time on the bump, striking out 10 in 8.2 innings and allowing just two hits. He's also hit the 20-point plateau on DraftKings in three of his past four. The Red Sox aren't necessarily a team to target, but if for some reason their lineup is a bit thin tonight, Estrada can cash in as one of our best value plays tonight.
Alternative Options: Mike Montgomery, Kyle Hendricks
High-Cost Hitters
Justin Turner – I could have plugged Turner into the next section because he's one of our best values of the day via DraftKings pricing (where he costs $4,400). Turner is our top projected point getter, and the top three all come from the Dodgers-Diamondbacks game.
Turner has an absurd .331 ISO versus righties this year (the league average is .146) and a .476 wOBA (the league average is .312) and faces on tonight in a game with an over/under of 9. I don't need to complicate this recommendation.
Jose Bautista – Bautista owns a .419 wOBA and a .244 ISO against lefties this year and is our most-likely dong candidate on the evening, projected for 0.33 homers. The whole Blue Jays offense has been historically good against lefties this season, so that makes Bautista even more of a target. Runs should come in bunches.
Eduardo Rodriguez has a nice 22.1% strikeout rate, so we might not see a full out onslaught, but if his .268 batting average on balls in play regresses tonight, you'll want exposure to the Toronto bats -- even if you can't spend up for Bautista.
Alternative Options: Adrian Gonzalez, Andrew McCutchen
Cost-Effective Hitters
Josh Phegley – Catcher is sometimes a hard position to pin down, but Phegley is in a good spot tonight against lefty Jorge de la Rosa of the Rockies. Phegley owns a nice .419 wOBA against lefties this year, tops on the A's. If he hits in the top six, he makes for a nice pivot from the obvious catcher options tonight considering his price.
Johnny Giavotella – For just $2,800 on DraftKings you can likely roster the leadoff hitter of a lineup projected to score more than four runs (per Vegas odds) against a pitcher who is just coming back from injury.
Well, Ivan Nova will be making his second appearance, and threw 6.2 innings against the Phillies in his first start. He struck out just one batter but walked two, and in 20.2 innings in 2014, his WHIP was 1.84. If Giavotella gets on, then the guys behind him should be able to make Nova work, allowing him to return value on a modest price tag.
Alternative Options: Logan Morrison, Chris Young

'Fiona Tan's 'Ascent'
Fiona Tan, 'Ascent', Izu Photo Museum Japan / De Pont Museum Netherlands, 2016
An extended essay commissioned on the occasion of Fiona Tan's work, Ascent.
Slip case binding with 3 softcover books, 80 pages each. Illustrated in colour
Published by Izu Photo Museum, Shizuoka, De Pont Museum, Tilburg, NOHARA Publishers, 2016
ISBN 13: 978-4-904257-36-4 Language: English and Japanese editions
Texts by David Campany, Toshiharu Ito, Shinichi Takemura, and Fiona Tan
From the opening section of the essay:
The screen is dark. Out of the black, small still images emerge. Sound rises … ambient, crackling, inhabiting the images. It is a very particular designation for a very particular kind of film. Seventy-seven minutes of still photographs appearing, disappearing, dissolving and scrolling across the screen, complemented by sounds, music, and two scripted voices – one English, one Japanese. Ascent takes as its subject Mount Fuji, or more precisely, the shifting representations by which we think we have come to know Mount Fuji. Fiona Tan has made an imaginative journey around of the object of her fascination. Mount Fuji is not revealed directly or in its deepest mystery (not even photographs can do that) but it is conjured for us nonetheless. Tan has solicited, sifted and sorted all manner of images and set them in motion. It is not the literal motion of the cinematic image but the figural motion of a 'photo-film': a rich weave of associations that are personal, poetic, historical, scientific, anthropological, military, geological, political, literary and artistic. Ascent is a bowl for images, a vortex of images, with Mount Fuji at its centre.
Early in the film we hear these words, spoken by 'Mary':
Emptiness or void, you explained patiently, never has negative connotations in the Japanese language. Just like the shining bamboo, a void has the potential to be filled. In Japanese the word for void is utsuro. But if you change the last syllable to 'wa', the word becomes utsuwa, meaning bowl. A bowl can receive and hold some very important things; a bowl for rice, a bowl for tea.
We are then shown an image of the crater of Mount Fuji and we hear the male voice of 'Hiroshi', speaking in Japanese:
'If the ending is changed to 'roi', the word then becomes utsuroi – transience, a word which represents a concept of time rather than of space.'
By these words Ascent prepares us for what is to come: a sliding in and out of history and memory, facts and impressions; an invitation to exchange space for time, or at least to think about the possibility of such an exchange. Mount Fuji is pictured over and over, but somehow it remains elusive. It is as if the real thing was in another place, another time. Or perhaps it is right there, but unknowable.
* * *
There are many ways to get to Mount Fuji. Fiona Tan has visited Japan several times, but she has constructed her film in her studio, in Amsterdam. If we are dealing with images, and in particular photographic images that can travel on our behalf, we could reasonably begin anywhere. Let us go via Paris. Here is Roland Barthes:
Maupassant often lunched in the restaurant in the Eiffel Tower, though he didn't care for the food: "It's the only place in Paris," he used to say, "where I don't have to see it." And it's true that you must take endless precautions, in Paris, not to see the Eiffel Tower; whatever the season, through mist and cloud, on overcast days or in sunshine, in rain – wherever you are, whatever the landscape of roofs, domes, or branches separating you from it, the Tower is there, incorporated into daily life until you can no longer grant it any specific attribute, determined merely to persist, like a rock or the river, it is as literal as a phenomenon of Nature whose meaning can be questioned to infinity but whose existence is incontestable.
What Barthes describes of the Eiffel Tower holds at least equally true of Mount Fuji, the strato-volcano on Japan's Honshu Island. It is the nation's highest peak and on a clear day it can be seen from Tokyo, sixty miles to its northeast. It is there, always there, 'until you can no longer grant it any specific attribute'. Like the Eiffel Tower, the only way to make the mountain disappear from view, is to climb it. But unlike the Eiffel Tower, Mount Fuji really is a phenomenon of Nature.
As a Parisian, Barthes was pondering the most obvious of Parisian subjects. Mount Fuji could well be the most obvious of Japanese subjects. But when the nimble mind of an artist or writer resolves to contemplate the overly familiar we may feel a kind of disarming excitement. In 2001, the British artist Victor Burgin wrote:
I am in Barcelona. I find the genius of the place, which for me is where my internal world and the social and historical reality of the city intersect, in Mies van der Rohe's pavilion for the 1929 International Exhibition. Embarrassing, as if I had gone to Paris and discovered the Eiffel Tower. I must nevertheless accept the fact that the pavilion haunts me. It remains to be seen why.
We must not fear the obvious, or be embarrassed by it, especially if it haunts us. A cliché may well be a truth worn out by use, but it is better to accept it and find one's own relation to it, find the intersection of one's internal world and the external realities.

Intel Pentium D 940 3.2GHz Dual Core Processor Review
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 07/26/2006 06:20 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
PC Stats posted an Intel Pentium D 940 3.2GHz Dual Core Processor review
The Intel Pentium D 940 processor is the latest victim, errr.... component to pass through the PCSTATS test labs. Built on Intel's 65 nanometer manufacturing process and with two physical processing cores running at 3.2 GHz each, backed up by 2MB of L2 cache, the socket 775 chip certainly makes quite a splash.

'I count the ethnic minorities in the audience… I get as far as my mother'
May 31, 2016 by norman lebrecht
From an outspoken interview with the half-Jamaican British baritone Roderick Williams:
The baritone Roderick Williams plays a game when he sits and looks out across the auditorium from the concert platform, between solos. "The game often doesn't last long," says the popular and sought-after singer. "I count the ethnic minorities. But I might get as far as my mother and stop there."

He's absolutely right. The questions are: who's to blame, and what can be done?
The blame is political and crosses the divide: the left is reluctant to 'force' western culture on anybody, let alone non-whites, and embraces cultural relativism; the right considers the arts a luxury for the wealthy only and doesn't see the need to fund them at grassroots level.
If we blame venues and orchestras etc for the lack of diversity of the audience we're looking in the wrong place. It's too late by that stage. We need to start earlier, much earlier, and properly fund music lessons at primary school, across the country, and continue that funding beyond the first year. Currently there have been some great all-class instrumental lessons, with a few chosen pupils getting subsidised lessons after that, but the subsidy is not high, and at some point it's always down to the parents to stump up regular amounts of cash for lessons and instruments.
And of course this isn't about the colour of the audience: it's about the continued existence of an audience, any type of audience, for classical music. If the nation wants classical music to remain alive, it has to fund it at schools. The question is: does the nation want that? It's unclear.
well said Will
Wise words. And – suspecting the comment referred to the US – it also counts for Europe, where subsidy cuts in education tend to first focus on the arts and especially, music. Although cultures mostly have developed in localized and ethnic contexts, eventually they become independent from these roots and can be chosen by anyone. A striking example is the interest in Western classical music in China.
Will is correct – very well written, and common sense for anyone who cares to use their eyes and see the truth.
If the young don't come forward then there's no future. That's the obligation of the older generation to carry it forward as it was for us.
That goes for all people regardless of race (though I "get" Roderick's point)
Interesting thoughts, and many grains of truth. But I don't know any conservatives who "consider[] the arts a luxury for the wealthy only." I do know conservatives who are skeptical about too much government involvement in the arts, but most typically for the following two reasons.
First, markets have done a great job at making arts more varied and accessible. I'm sorry that there aren't larger, more diverse audiences in concert halls. I can't afford to go often myself (it's a once-a-year indulgence for me), and I almost always go alone, because it's so expensive. But for very little money, I can hear some of the best performances of the world's greatest masterpieces at the click of a button. And if I tire of the same fare that plays season after season at the symphony, I can go off the beaten path and listen to works that are unlikely to get a concert performance these days.
Second, getting government more involved eventually leads to making artistic decisions political. That is the worst possible outcome for art–and anyone who cares about it.
You're welcome to disagree, of course–and I think a good case still can be made for government subsidized music education–but I wanted to add what I believe a more typical (modern, American) conservative view might be.
I'm sure he'll always see quite a few people from SE Asia. I do.
Don't they count?
Not at concerts in London unless they're rich. Perhaps Orientals but not Asian as we know them.here.
He'd also have another game in some places to find people under 60!!! He came here for recital.in Ilkley last year. 600 in the audience of mainly white middle class and the returns from those who don't like any singers, resold to.Opera North members. Same the year before when Sarah Connolly cane – and tickets only £11. This year no recitalist, only instrumental.
I really meant "Orientals", but some people don't like the term. Much in evidence in London audiences.
Interesting you should mention Ilkley. I have bad memories of a RLPO concert in St George's Hall, Bradford. Stuffiest audience I've ever been in. I was a student at the time and looked like one. Never felt out of place in a London concert hall but felt like a leper in Bradford, and I was born there.
Don't know what was going on. Still missing Barbirolli/Halle perhaps.
Here, in Los Angeles CA, our Philharmonic Organization researches to find programs keyed to young people, especially minorities. It has been quite successful. There has to be a constant search for innovations and programs that are of interest to younger people and minorities in particular.
If people aren't interested, they're not interested. Don't force them to come if they don't want to. Does anybody moan about the lack of white, middle-aged audience members at rap concerts? Is anything being done to make that music more attractive to them? If not, why not?
I completely agree. There is no outreach program for attracting white, middle aged audience members into rap music. The only difference between rap and classical is that rap, like Jazz and Rock n Roll before that, is a purely commercial art form. So when it stops being relevant or popular, it finishes, unlike classical music. Rap doesn't feel the need to impose onto it's audience it's own brilliance. Also, I don't know how many rap concerts you've ever attended, but it can't be many, because the white middle aged 30-40 year olds who should be attending classical galas are actually paying to see Jay Z rap in art installation projects at the Met (gallery not house).
"rap, like Jazz (…) , is a purely commercial art form"? Hey, sure, this for example was purely intended for making dollars:
Evil Mingus might have read the Wall Street Journal while arranging… How crazy have you guys gotten on this blog? Can't you get yourself a pair of ears before posting?
Good point. I hadn't thought of that.
It's called free choice, what's the problem? If different parts of the human race want to engage with different cultures, and they have a choice to do so, or not, that's surely fine. No one prevents people from going to classical concerts, they choose not to. Not the same thing. It's only because classical music tends to be subsidised, and therefore prone to political correctness and all sorts of other tests about accessibility that we have this sort of meaningless debate.
It's the same kind of correctness that means that funding for certain parks and nature reserves is available if you demonstrate accessibility to the disabled. I can think of one nature reserve that had a tarmac path built right through the 'green and pleasant land' to facilitate it. Kind of defeating the object of keeping it green. But it's ok, because now it's accessible.
So rather than trying to 'reach out' and find the latest hip-hop arrangement of Beethoven or some other rubbish to demonstrate correctness and accessibility, let's celebrate classical music and if people want to come, let them.
It only becomes a problem, because some (actually, a lot) of classical music is propped up by public money.
If it were not, it would not matter so much, apart from being a shame.
e.g. The Royal Opera House has to care, and should care. Glyndebourne does not need to care, even though it still does.
Accessibility means everyone has the same right and possibility to buy a ticket. Not that some sections of the population have to be pandered too, offered programmes to entice them, or special deals.
But we are being swayed ever more to over compensation in this and other things. Just like equality doesn't mean better chose a woman because they are currently under represented, it means chose a man or a woman based simply on the best person for the job, without reference to gender. (Although I acknowledge some conductors would have a less busy schedule if this was the test).
Again, here in Los Angeles, where the Philharmonic receives not a huge amount of public money, private giving and endowment funds make up the difference. I admit it's a somewhat unusual situation, but there is not much reason to suppose that it cannot be done elsewhere. However, the secret is in building the support over many years, decades really.
Two things will help with this, and both relate to broadening the audience for classical music in general, rather than specifically targeting the BAME audience. The first is to get classical music onto the educational curriculum as early as possible. People need to be engaged by it before their peer group and society have helped them to make up their minds about what cultural activities are and are not 'for them'. By the time people are teenagers, they are well on their way to having made up their minds for life. Early education is key.
But secondly, we need to stop apologising for classical music. Present it for what it is. Yes, it's 'elite' in the sense that all high art is 'elite', but that does not stop it from being accessible. It's not pop music. It's not cool. It's not trendy, no matter how many times you play it under a railway arch in Hoxton. But it's wonderful, and we shouldn't be ashamed to say so for fear of being 'elitist' or 'uninclusive'. Imagine if Apple tried to sell its products by telling you how you shouldn't be frightened by them, and really, they were just like PCs, and here's a kind of half-PC/half-Apple hybrid so you can try it out and see if you like the experience. And then when it does't get the results they wanted, doubling down on the strategy. No – they'd be bust.
Instead they sell their products as if they were the best products in the world. They sell them at a premium because they value those products highly. They advertise all the things that are unique to their products, not how they are kind of similar to some other product you might already know. For BAME audiences and any other audience, we need to start presenting classical music as something they might actually want to learn to enjoy. And we're not going to do that by continually trying to dilute it to suit the tastes of people who don't really like it.
Bravo, excellently put.
Entirely agreed…. well said. Especially: "But secondly, we need to stop apologising for classical music. Present it for what it is. Yes, it's 'elite' in the sense that all high art is 'elite', but that does not stop it from being accessible." In this context, 'elite' means: superior quality and exciting experience. Alas, egalitarian 'thinking' which wants the masses to believe that classical music is merely an instrument of the bourgeois classes to distinguish themselves from lower strata of society and to intimidate and suppres them (Bourdieu), has provided many people (among which politicians) with the ultimate excuse to ignore and undermine the art form and its practitioners.
Actually, very little of the interview is about colour.
See the selected snippet from the earlier post about Emmanuel Vuillaume (the headline is "homeless 3-job conductor" or something). I don't know if Lebrecht is selecting the snippet most likely to get a lot of clicks, or if he's finding an interesting sentence or two buried among all the blah-blah-blah and thinks "ooh, this would make an interesting discussion topic."
Either way, it's working, although (see Vuillaume again, among others) some readers tend to react only to the snippet and not consider context.
Tiger Woods and the Williams sister face the same issue.
Which Williams sister? Glad to know the other one is bearing up.

Regulators to double down on QAPI after government report on adverse events in post-acute care
Expanded surveys will focus on staffing, MDS coding
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services sees the upcoming Quality Assurance & Performance Improvement guidelines, not harsher penalties, as the way to reduce adverse events in post-acute care, officials said on an Open Door Forum call Thursday.
More than one in five Medicare beneficiaries who receive skilled care after a hospitalization experience an adverse event, according to a report released this week by the Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General. The study was "well done" in terms of its methodology and scope of review, CMS officials said on Thursday's call. They emphasized that the agency worked closely with the OIG prior to the report's release and will continue to do so in order to reduce these incidents.
Still, when pressed by a caller about how they intend to "crack down" on adverse events, the CMS representatives said this is not the approach they will take. Although they discuss adverse events with surveyors who go into post-acute facilities, survey citations will not be the "primary source" for addressing these incidents, they said. Instead, they intend to focus on assisting providers in implementing quality improvement initiatives, specifically through QAPI.
The Medicare agency has been providing "technical assistance" to nursing homes in the last two years as the official promulgation of QAPI rules has been in development, officials noted. They pointed to resources available online, such as instruction on how to conduct a root cause analysis.
However, they still did not say when the highly anticipated and much-delayed QAPI regulations will be formally promulgated, noting only that the regulations will contain more "prescriptive requirements."
They were more specific when discussing updates to the Minimum Data Set 3.0 Resident Assessment Instrument manual. Providers can expect a single update to the manual this year, which will be released in the fall, said Cheryl Wiseman, of the CMS Quality Measurement and Health Assessment Group.New MDS 3.0 training videos will be available online in the near future, Wiseman also noted.

Should I buy refurbished appliances and gadgets?Posted in Gadgets, Tech on May 19th, 2014 by Andy
Yes you should, and the reason why has more to do with bathtubs than you might have expected. Not only are refurbished goods a lot cheaper than brand new ones, they're actually better. Meet the Bathtub Curve:
The Bathtub Curve
Those of us who are paid to dip our toes into reliability engineering will be familiar with this graph:
Engineers developed the bathtub curve from analysing the failure rates of huge numbers of machines. Basically it shows that things are highly likely to fail early in service (due to manufacturing defects, etc), then settle in and run reasonably reliably until they start to wear out and fall apart. Now, in real life nothing fits the nice smooth curve exactly, but in general it holds true. That's why everything you buy comes with a warranty, manufacturers expect a certain percentage of their stuff to die straight away.
Now, when stuff develops a fault in early service, people send it back to the manufacturer who often sends out a replacement. All good so far. The manufacturer repairs the original device and sells it on as a refurb for a substantial knockdown. My whole point is: having been in service for a short time and having already surfaced any problems, the refurbed machine is now less likely to conk out than a new machine. You're now getting a machine that will be more reliable and costs less, and you've still got a warranty if it does go wrong again. Why buy anything brand new if you could get a better one for less? The worst wear and tear I've seen on any refurbed tech or appliances are some minor cosmetic scratches, which you'll have on your new gizmo within a few weeks anyway.
I'm interested, hook me up.
Plenty of big companies have a refurb scheme. If you're in the UK check out:
eBay (don't be afraid of this one, lots of people run small businesses through eBay where they sell on the refurbed units from bigger suppliers)

Identifying Useful Variables for Vehicle Braking Using the Adjoint Matrix Approach to the Mahalanobis-Taguchi System
The Mahalanobis Taguchi System (MTS) is a diagnosis and forecasting method for multivariate data. Mahalanobis distance (MD) is a measure based on correlations between the variables and different patterns that can be identified and analyzed with respect to a base or reference group. MTS is of interest because of its reported accuracy in forecasting small, correlated data sets. This is the type of data that is encountered with consumer vehicle ratings. MTS enables a reduction in dimensionality and the ability to develop a scale based on MD values. MTS identifies a set of useful variables from the complete data set with equivalent correlation and considerably less time and data. This paper presents the application of the Adjoint Matrix Approach to MTS for vehicle braking to identify a reduced set of useful variables in multidimensional systems.

enrollment faq
BCS provides families with an innovative, empowering and results-oriented choice.
What is the lottery and when will it occur?
If more enrollment packets are submitted for a specific grade level than spots available, then enrollment is determined by lottery. The lottery* is a blind, random drawing that is open to the public that is held following the close of the Open Enrollment period. The lottery for the 2019-2020 school year will be held Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 2:00 PM* at 102 W. Portola Ave. in Los Altos. While parents who submitted enrollment packets are welcome, attendance at the event not required in order for their child(ren) to be entered into the lottery. Lottery results are mailed to all who submitted enrollment packets prior to the close of Open Enrollment.
When a random drawing is necessary**, the Santa Clara County Office of Education authorized enrollment preferences are applied based on the following hierarchy within each grade level:
1) Siblings of current Bullis Charter School students who reside within the boundaries of the Los Altos School District;
2) For no more than half the total available openings for each grade level, students who reside within the boundaries of the former Bullis-Purissima Elementary School attendance area, as drawn by Los Altos School District in the 2002-2003 school year***, limited as follows:
- For incoming kindergarten classes for the 2018-2019 school year, preference 2 will be limited to 10% of total available openings.
- For incoming kindergarten classes for the 2019-2020 school year, there will be no preference for this category.
3) Children of BCS staff members who reside within the boundaries of the Los Altos School District.
4) Children who reside within the boundaries of the Los Altos School District;

***For a copy of the 2002-2003 District boundary map, please email email@example.com.
I want my child to finish his/her current school year without any distractions. Will my child's name be kept confidential?
Yes. All information submitted through the enrollment process will be kept confidential to the full extent allowed by law. We will not release your child's name without your consent unless they are accepted for admission to BCS. If your child is accepted to attend BCS for the coming year, we may be required to confidentially share their name with the Los Altos School District after the end of the current school year so the District can plan for their classes.
If I enroll my child at BCS, can I change my mind?
Yes. Filling out and returning an acceptance packet does not commit you to a decision. If for any reason your plans change and you no longer wish to enroll your child at BCS, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can offer your child's place to another interested student.
When do I need to submit my child's proof of immunizations?
Effective July 1, 2016, California law requires that proof of immunizations be submitted before a child is allowed to attend school. Please also note that a physical exam must be done no earlier than 18 months before entering 1st grade (for example, if you have an incoming kindergartener, you would schedule your exam for mid-February or later).
What is the cutoff date for Kindergarten?
To be eligible for Kindergarten for the 2018-2019 school year, your child's 5th birthday must be no later than September 1, 2018.
How does the Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program work at BCS?
If your child qualifies for Transitional Kindergarten at BCS, his/her registration will be placed and drawn with the Kindergarten registrations during the enrollment lottery. The TK students will be placed in Kindergarten classrooms as appropriate, but they will follow a modified curriculum that will be supported by his/her Focused Learning Goals.
What is the age requirement for Transitional Kindergarten?
Your child must turn 5 between September 2, 2018 and December 2, 2018 to be eligible for our Transitional Kindergarten program for the 2018-19 school year.

A ten-member commission chosen by Gov. Jay Nixon to draw a new map for Missouri's State Senate districts has reached a tentative agreement.
The agreement came after more than 13 hours of negotiations that stretched into the early morning hours.
The five Democrats and five Republicans voted eight to two for the new map, with one member from each party voting "no." Next, it will be filed with the Secretary of State's office for a 15-day period, during which the Office of Administration will accept public comments. Then a final vote will be held after the 15-day period. Democrat Doug Harpool chairs the commission, and says he's confident it will win approval.
"It would take something completely unexpected, you know, if somebody finds something in the map that we completely missed, then I would certainly reconsider…but absent that, it would be very difficult to get me to change my mind," Harpool said.
A State Senate map drawn by a six-judge panel last year was tossed out by the Missouri Supreme Court.

D‑Link launches new Wi‑Fi routers for ultra‑fast and extended range for home broadband
The all new Gigabit Wi‑Fi Routers fulfil the needs of the modern connected‑home, supporting high‑definition streaming, online gaming, Internet phone calls, smart home devices and content‑rich web surfing
01 September, 2017
D-Link has unveiled two new high-speed routers, engineered to meet the demands of the modern smart home and the increasing high definition multimedia applications. The DIR-878 EXO AC1900 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Gigabit Router and DIR-882 EXO AC2600 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Gigabit Router offer the fastest wireless speeds and most extensive coverage currently available on the market.
As well as offering lightning-fast Wi-Fi speeds, for consumers looking to stream 4K movies, enjoy seamless online gaming, transfer large files and browse the Internet with more devices simultaneously, both Wi-Fi Gigabit Routers come with Multiple-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) with Advanced AC SmartBeam™. Using innovative 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, both also offer combined wireless speeds of up to 1.9 Gbps and 2.533 Gbps respectively.
MU-MIMO technology allows routers to send and receive large amounts of data to and from devices simultaneously, markedly increasing throughput and application responsiveness, whilst Advanced AC SmartBeam™ steers the wireless signal to where it is needed to dramatically improve wireless range.
Historically, homes may have contained a handful of smart devices and a computer or two, but today modern homes are filled with a wider array of connected devices, such as mobile phones, set-top boxes, networked security cameras and gaming consoles. Combined with the increasing prevalence of 4K, streamed media, it's essential that a home network's speed is reliable and that bandwidth is available to meet the demands of a growing network of connected technology.
Key benefits include:
- Better Wi-Fi for more devices - 802.11ac technology on the 5 GHz band means higher quality connections for more devices, providing greater throughput for each of a consumers' wireless devices.
- Quality of Service – built-in QoS engine allows prioritisation of traffic, to ensure favourite applications receive optimal bandwidth
- Increased performance and reliability – Dual-band technology with SmartConnect distributes traffic over two dedicated Wi-Fi radios, optimising network performance and reliability
- Dependable wired performance – 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports for Network Attached Storage (NAS) and gaming consoles
- Easy to secure – Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) establishes encrypted wireless connections to new devices without the need to enter settings or create passwords. The built-in firewall provides access controls and protects against malicious attacks
- Instant file sharing – one Super Speed USB 3.0 port and one USB 2.0 port on the DIR-882 facilitates easy sharing of documents, movies, pictures and music across your entire home network

Rocky Creek Winery releases in 2013
Photo: Rocky Creek's Mark and Linda Holford
Good weather in May means at least two things in the
. Cowichan Valley
The warm sun means a timely bud break and a good start to the growing season.
Secondly, it is the start of the wine touring season. Rocky Creek Winery is among the producers that have just opened tasting rooms for the season.
Linda and Mark Holford opened this boutique winery in 2005, operating for the first several years from a home in suburban Ladysmith. This required them to function under a commercial license since they had no vineyard there.
In 2008, they moved to a three-hectare rural property south of
Duncan where
they have planted a vineyard and converted to the more advantageous farm-based
license. Their current property also is much better suited for wine tourists,
for hosting tastings, winery dinners and whatever other events spring from
their imaginations.
They supplement the varietals grown in their own vineyard – which include Maréchal Foch, some Blattner varieties and blackberries – with purchased fruit from other Cowichan vineyards. In 2012, as an example, they were able to purchase Siegerrebe grapes, releasing their first varietal from this fruit. It is a terrific wine.
Here are notes on the current releases.
Rocky Creek Siegerrebe 2012 ($22). This early-ripening white is so aromatic that it is notorious for attracting wasps to the vineyard. You understand the lure when you nose and taste this wonderfully spicy fruit salad of a wine. There are aromas of tangerine, Chinese pear, green melon and apple, leading to flavours of grapefruit, honeydew and Chinese pear. The dry finish is tangy and very refreshing. Here is an exotic wine to enjoy on its own or with Asian cuisine. 90.
Rocky Creek Pinot Gris 2012 ($22). The delicate pink hue signals that this wine has had skin contact, a technique to increase the aromas and flavours. It works! This wine has appealing aromas of rhubarb and citrus. There are generous flavours of rhubarb, lime and apple. The finish is tangy and refreshing. This is a delicious wine. 90.
Rocky Creek
Rocky Creek Pinot Noir 2011 ($26 for 320 cases). The 2011 vintage on
Island was so cool that some producers did not even try to make a
Pinot Noir. Mark Holford had the patience to squeeze out the maximum hang time,
making a wine with 12% alcohol. It has spicy strawberry and red cherry aromas.
It is light on the palate, with tastes of strawberry and mocha and with a silky
texture. There is also a hint of greenness, which is to be expected from that
vintage, and will benefit from some bottle aging. 87-89.
Rocky Creek Wild Blackberry N.V. ($25 for 600 cases of 500 l bottles). The website does not say whether this wine was fortified to 16% or fermented naturally to that level. I suspect the latter because there is no sharp alcohol bite on the palate. The wine begins with spicy blackberry aromas (as you would expect). On the palate, there are appealing sweet berry flavours, with a rich texture. The balance is excellent: the wine has just the right touch of sweetness. This is a wine to go with savoury pâtés and with chocolate. 89.

"My 13 yr old daughter was referred to Dr. Pedicano for food allergies. I was very impressed by the doctor's thoroughness and bedside manner. She took excellent care of my daughter, explained everything very clearly and calm. My daughter is afraid of needles and was very nervous about skin test and also the possibility of having to use an epipen. Everyone at the practice, doctor Pedicano, nurse and lab staff were incredibly kind and accommodating to my daughter's fears. We highly recommend."

Farewells, Full Circles and Ellipses
This week, as I write, I am about to teach my final classes. Perhaps not final forever, but final for now — and the last in a stable, university job. At the young age of 55, I am going back to freelance writing and related filmic adventures.
Serge Daney once defined cinephilia as "the eternal return to a fundamental pleasure". A pleasure whose constitution is somewhat different for each culture, each generation and, finally, each individual. But whatever it is that forms the core of the cinephile passion for any of us, it is to that, apparently, we shall return.
Often, when I read about the best essayists and critics — such as Raymond Durgnat or Siegfried Kracauer — you sense the glee of their admiring exegetes in noting that, especially as the critic's life approached its ending, his or her explorations usually came full circle: right back to the founding moment of their pleasure. They return to the primal obsessions, to the spark that got them into the game in the first place — while cinema history strides on, obliviously, ahead. It's poetic, it's sentimental, but it's also a bit sad: as if the cinephile is doomed to travel backwards.
Instinctively, and for the pure bliss of it, I formulated my final semester of classes around particular films that were among the very first that I myself studied in detail, obsessively: Henry Hathaway's surrealist masterpiece Peter Ibbetson (1935), Hitchcock's perfect Notorious (1946), Cassavetes' sublime Gloria (1980). I still have some notes, drawings, scene breakdowns and shot lists I made when I was 18 or 20 on these films, and I used them in my classes of 2014 and 2015. I had the sense that I was all at once 'reopening the book' on these marvellously rich works, inquiring into the intimate hold they have on my psyche, and coming around to admit that, despite every trick of analysis, the deepest secrets of their greatness will always slip from my grasp.
Was I completing the circle? Or will the circle always, mercifully, be broken? In another final course, I concentrated on two particular filmmakers I love and exalt above almost all others: Fritz Lang and Ernst Lubitsch. Near the end of it, I re-watched the latter's Heaven Can Wait (1943) — and re-experienced a particular, electrifying moment that, at the age of 14 or 15, truly fused my cinephile soul into the shape it still bears today.
Heaven Can Wait is a film about time, lived time — the time that marches on, that ages, marked by the cycle of birthdays and anniversaries; and the time that doubles back, that echoes and remembers itself, thanks to those same, annual rituals. An infinitely melancholic and gorgeous movie. In a scene 96 minutes in, Henry (Don Ameche) reminisces with his wife, Martha (Gene Tierney), in the same room they encountered each other 25 years previously. And then they dance. As they sweep into the middle of an otherwise empty space, the camera — in a movement I would later realise is quite uncharacteristic of Lubitsch — rises to the ceiling to frame them, quite briefly, from afar. And during this move, Henry's voice tells us, on the soundtrack: "I didn't know it then, but this was our last anniversary. It was the last time we danced together. There were only a few more months left for Martha. And she made them the happiest of our lives".
The gap between image and sound, between vision and understanding, between the present moment of joy and the coming moment of bereavement: utterly devastating to this innocent, teenage cinephile! But also revelatory of a truly magical art: the art of ellipsis. Lubitsch transcends death by eliding it, leaping over it, tucking it inside the discrepancy between the dance we see and the voice we hear. It is in the ellipse that time escapes both its forward treadmill and its eternal return; in the ellipse that we can experience a rebirth.
