Americans are understandably concerned about the runaway costs of medical care and the fact that one citizen out of seven is without health insurance coverage. Solving these problems is a top priority for the Clinton administration, but as Victor Fuchs shows, the task is enormously complex. In this book Fuchs, America's foremost health economist, provides the reader with the necessary concepts, facts, and analyses to comprehend the complicated issues of health policy. He shows why health care reform that benefits society as a whole will unavoidably burden certain individuals and groups.
Fuchs addresses such central questions as cost containment, managed competition, technology assessment, poverty and health, children's health, and national health insurance. The future of U.S. health policy, he argues, is tightly linked to three basic questions; First, how can we disengage health insurance from employment? Second, how can we tame technological change in health care? And finally how can we cope with the runaway medical costs of an aging society?

About Us
Curated with immense focus on the coalescence of architectural charm and traditional household grooming, Photo Phactory was founded through experimentation with capturing various landmarks across the globe before settling in the Tropical City of Singapore.
Descending from a line of interior grooming enthusiasts herself, Valley first grew her interest in spatial planning while growing up in a northern Indian household. Surrounded by the many pillars of tradition, she was inspired by the women of her time who pride themselves in preserving a tranquil home environment.
As a means to internalize the vestige of furnishing that was present before the haste of a modernizing world, a pursuit for materializing frames of history into various forms of handcrafted objects was realized as the eventual path in which Photo Phactory would continue to bloom.

Meieran, Eugene
California Indian Basketry: Ikons of the Florescence by Wayne A. Thompson and Eugene S. Meieran, Hardcover (B1701-HC)
Additional Information
- Medium: Hardcover Book
- Circa: 2021
- Size: 10'' x 12'' x 1.25''
Signed by the author, Eugene Meieran. The new gold standard for California basketry. 344 pages. ISBN: 978-1941384527. 5.2 pounds. Sunbelt Publications 2021. "This richly illustrated photographic overview captures the beauty and artistry of the remarkable world-class, Native American Indian baskets of California, circa 1895 to 1940, known as the Florescence or Flowering. It is a tribute to these artisans and includes biographical snapshots of weavers and portraits of their masterpiece California Indian baskets, which today exist in museums and private collections throughout the United States. Collecting highly complex and artistic Native American baskets became a successful tourist business in the late 19th and early 20th centuries -- tourism in the United States exploded as a result of the expansion of the railway system to hitherto relatively inaccessible locations. This new business benefitted both collectors of this art form and the weavers who created them. The transition from woven baskets used for utilitarian use to more durable and less expensive metal cookware and storage vessels allowed weavers the time needed to innovate and create baskets specifically catering to tourist interests. During this period of Florescence, some of the world's most intricate, beautiful, and artistic baskets were woven, particularly by highly-talented weavers representing several Native American tribes located throughout California."

Sneum Å is ready!
Location – Sneum Å at the Allerup bridge.
Fished from 8.30 till 11.30
Bait: ground bait with frozen red maggot and frozen Joker.
Hookbait – red maggot.
It was very windy and blowing down the river so the going was quite hard , I used an over shotted 8g cralusso torpedo.
The fish came in very steady for the first two and a half hours and were nearly all good sized roach, in great condition.
The last half hour dropped off but when I hooked into a 1.8 kg (it weighs in at 1.5 when cleaned and head removed) sea trout I discovered why I was using hydro elastic and I am glad I was as this was a real fight, (its in my fridge now waiting for tomorrow dinner J)
The Bream haven't showed yet but according to the locals they hold up in a deeper pool further up river and it isn't warm enough for them to come down river yet.
Total catch including the trout was approx 12 kg.. not bad to say I thought it was still too cold for this stretch.

If You Think You Can't Get Scammed, Think Again
It's Friday afternoon. I had just walked through the door at my house, when I got a call from an unknown number with an 855 exchange. I picked up the phone, said hello, and heard a recording telling me that my AT&T Wireless account had been suspended.
It gave me the option to press 1 to speak to someone about getting it reactivated. I immediately hit the 1 and was connected to an operator. I told the person that my account had been suspended and that I needed to find out what was going on. Truthfully, I couldn't remember the last time I had paid my bill, so I wasn't sure if I was overdue or not.
The operator asked me for my account password, which I (luckily) did not know. He told me that he would text me a number. I waited for the text to arrive, but it never did. Then he said that he had emailed it to me.
It looked like a VERY official email from AT&T Wireless. I didn't think for a second that I was going down a dangerous path. He told me that someone in Miami, Florida had tried to make changes to my account, including changing the name to Juan Riveira. He asked if I had authorized these changes. "No!" I said in disbelief. I couldn't believe someone had hacked my account!
"Don't worry," he said. "They weren't successful, but we'll need to change your account password."
He then told me that he'd text me the number again. That's when I just had a weird feeling of apprehension pop into my gut. "You know, what?" I said to him, "I'm just going to call AT&T directly because now that I'm thinking about it, you called me."
No sooner was the sentence out of my mouth when the man hung up on me. The call was disconnected.
I raced to call AT&T Customer Service. I relayed the story to the customer service rep who agreed that the call and email I received were fraudulent. Someone was trying to hack my account, but it wasn't Juan Riveira. It was the guy who called me trying to help!
I often hear stories on the news about senior citizens falling victim to these types of scams. I can't even believe an identity theft scam almost worked on me.

I found this news a bit disappointing, but not surprising. I have trained and fought in mixed martial arts competition at the lowest level. I can tell you, it is a tough sport! While I don't condone, or justify the use of illegal substances (Performance Enhancing Drugs/PEDs), you'd have to be a fool to think that most people at that higher level are not using any PEDs. If it was difficult for me, and my friends at the lower level, imagine what it is like for those guys! So, we all know that many are probably juicing. The "problem" arises when one of them is caught.
PEDs are bad business, and you could argue that they give an unfair advantage. However, I'd argue that when all of them are doing it, then it cancels out the advantage. Again, I'm not making the case for Performance Enhancing Drugs, I just happen to live in the real world.
I hope that this doesn't taint Anderson Silva's reputation in terms of what he has accomplished. He has been a record setting champion, and his wins cannot be attributed to the use of PEDs. Again, I am willing to bet the farm that most of these guys are using PEDs. His wins came due to superior skill, and I hope that they don't try to take that away from him.
Peds are a regular part of competition at that higher level. We have seen it in Wrestling, baseball, football, bodybuilding, and now MMA. As long as there are people who are willing to take them, they will always exist. I'm not saying it's right, or good, but it is reality. Hopefully he stops taking these drugs before it is too late for him.
Following is the official UFC "cover your ass" statement. As if they don't know what's going on. Give me a freaking break! It's like I said above, the problems arise when one of them gets caught. Then of course the UFC has to then speak up against it.
On February 3, 2015, the UFC organization was notified by the Nevada State Athletic Commission that Anderson Silva tested positive for Drostanolone metabolites on his Jan. 9 out of competition drug test. UFC's understanding is that further testing will be conducted by the Commission to confirm these preliminary results.
Anderson Silva has been an amazing champion and a true ambassador of the sport of mixed martial arts and the UFC, in Brazil as well as around the world. UFC is disappointed to learn of these initial results.
The UFC has a strict, consistent policy against the use of any illegal and/or performance enhancing drugs, stimulants or masking agents by its athletes.

A journey through the literature of English country houses from the time of Thomas More to Oscar Wilde
more_horiz 查看更多
more_horiz 收起
On this free online course, you'll investigate and discuss the role and representation of the English country house in literature, and learn how to build your own authoritative interpretation of these texts. Join us as we trace the history of country house literature The country house has fascinated writers and readers for over 450 years, attracting the attention of celebrated writers like Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, and providing a setting for the performance of literature for writers such as William Shakespeare. We'll be tracing the history of country house literature, from the sixteenth and seventeenth-century poetry and drama of Thomas More and Margaret Cavendish, through the polite satire and sociability of the eighteenth-century, the Gothic terror and intrigue of Ann Radcliffe and Charles Dickens, all the way through to the dawn of the twentieth century and the wit of Oscar Wilde. As well as reading extracts from the novels, poetry and drama of these well-known authors, we'll be exploring lesser known forms and less familiar authors. You'll encounter manuscripts, newspapers, periodicals and magazines, as well as private poetry and published letters. Build a literary interpretation You'll have the opportunity to learn and practice how to conduct a 'close reading' as the basis for your own literary interpretation. We'll be joined by experts from the University of Sheffield's School of English who will share with us the approaches that they take in their own research and what else we can use to build a literary interpretation. Understand the material conditions We'll also be taking you into the University of Sheffield's Special Collections archive to view country house literature as it originally appeared. We'll look at the different contexts in which this literature was produced, examining such varied materials as handwritten seventeenth-century manuscripts and early eighteenth-century newspapers. You'll be able to think about and discuss the wide variety of ways country house literature has been composed, consumed and received over the centuries.

Radio Personalities – not Stations – are the "Brands"
In a content-driven, anything – anytime world, the advantage shifts from radio stations to personalities and the entities that own or license them.
In the long run, fans of radio will be fans of personalities. And how will those fans seek out those personalities? By the names of their stations – or by the much more direct path: The name of the personality?
And if consumers are searching by personality name, not by station, then doesn't the advantage shift to the personality or the owner of that personality's content?
Radio legend Bill Figenshu talks with me about the future of "branded" radio personalities.
Thanks to technology, personalities (not stations) are at the center of the radio universe. And those personalities have an opportunity to monetize and power their own brands like never before. Consumers will seek out what they want where and when they want it – on demand.
Get ready.

async ecosystem wg
— 2019-02-27
12 months ago, the first iteration of the networking working group kicked off. 6 months later we underwent change, and created 3 sub-working groups. It's a new year, a new rust edition, and a good time to re-evaluate our organizational structures.
During the last set of organizational changes we came up with with a structure of 3 sub-working groups:
- web networking: focused on improving the experience of building web services in rust.
- async networking: focused on creating language & ecosystem support for
async primitives such as
Futures and
- embedded networking: focused on creating abstractions for async support on
This worked well for a while, but it quickly became clear that this structure came with non-trivial overhead.
Organizing meetings for the working groups, between working groups, and with the core team took effort. Enough effort that between deadlines, holidays and other events, involvement wasn't consistent.
Another challenge has been to create clear communication to people outside of the working groups. Between 3 sub working groups, libraries in different organizations, and multiple channels it can be hard to keep up with what's going on.
We'll be changing our current structure to a new structure of 2 separate working groups:
- async foundations: focused on progressing the async primitives in the language and compiler.
- async ecosystem: focused on progressing the ecosystem around the async foundations.
The async foundations working group will operate as part of the lang WG, similar to the traits, grammar, and FFI working groups.
The async ecosystem working group will live under github.com/rustasync. Projects we'll be working on include the Tide web framework, Romio reactor, and Juliex executor.
We believe that by creating these projects we'll be able to better identify which pieces in the ecosystem are missing. And identify where it makes sense to create shared abstractions.
A historical example can be found in Romio and Juliex. The experience of
writing them has been a key
driver in the decision to
simplify the
type, providing a better interface for everyone.
We expect the new working group structure will allow us to create better results, communicate better, and in the end help elevate Rust's async story to be second to none.
The async ecosystem working group has text-only meetings every Thursdays at 4pm UTC on our Discord channel. We have agendas for each meeting, and store minutes in a public repository so people can catch up async. The meetings are open to anyone interested, and we encourage people to add questions / topics to the agenda to discuss.
Thanks everyone for reading. We're excited for the future of async Rust, and we hope you are too!

Mexican operator izzi has gone live with the commercial launch of an Android TV Operator Tier pay-TV service.
It follows close co-operation on the project between izzi, Google and Mirada. The set-top launch extends izzi's existing pay-TV service from Linux set-top boxes, smartphones, tablets and laptops to Android TV hybrid set-top boxes.
The service is based on Mirada's Iris solution rather than Google's generic user interface such that izzi's brand identity and the subscribers' viewing experience remains the same.
It also brings in additional functionality developed by Mirada.
izzi´s CEO, Salvi Folch, said: "At izzi, we are always looking to have innovative products. We are convinced that our izzitv smart offer is the best video experience available in Mexico. Our interface has all the content that users want in a single device adding the best of linear TV, video on demand, apps, games and Android TV functionalities. It also includes the possibility of using voice control to operate the device, which is an innovation in the Mexican market."
The Spanish software developer says this is the first ever launch of Android TV for an operator that uses hybrid Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)/Over the Top (OTT) set-top boxes to provide a TV service through its cable infrastructure.
"We showcased our Iris solution for the Android TV Operator Tier at numerous international trade shows last year, and are delighted with the interest it has received so far,' said Mirada's CEO, José Luis Vázquez: "With the recent launch of our Android TV solution in Spain and several other projects currently underway, we are delighted to be able to announce this commercial launch with the leading Mexican operator and our long-term client, izzi."
For this project, Mirada has partnered with Google for Android TV integration, Verimatrix for conditional access and new premium set-top box manufacturers, including Skyworth and ZTE.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to suggest a solution to the problem of implementing a full "Lean" methodology for small-/medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in a developing economy. Design/methodology/approach – This is a reflective paper that looks at an illustrative case study against the wider perspectives of the financial and resource costs of implementing a full lean programme in a developing country and suggests that using a "Lean Lite" approach may help the consultant/manager introduce lean concepts into a manufacturing organisation in a developing country. Findings – The paper concludes that "Lean Lite" as an approach that can be used to introduce lean initiatives in an SME in a developing economy by allowing a company with very limited resources to engage not only in business improvement but also in improving working conditions and education for employees. Research limitations/implications – The observations are limited to a single case study, although tempered by the authors' wider experience. Further empirical research and critique of the original research is required to validate the observations and conclusions. Practical implications – The proposed "Lean Lite" initiative can help to introduce lean concepts to an organisation with limited financial and other resources. This helps organisations to increase productivity and assists the adoption of the lean philosophy and principles in a developing economy. The approach may also be used to engage in a wider corporate social responsibility strategy at ground level. Social implications – The social benefits as a result of implementing a Lean Lite approach include improving working conditions and educating employees. Originality/value – The paper proposes an approach that can be used to widen organisational involvement in lean initiatives in a developing economy by allowing a company with limited resources to engage not only in business improvement but also in improving working conditions and education for employees. As such the approach has both economic and social benefits.

In order to try to explain how the chips/integrated circuits (ICs) behind cutting-edge devices are engineered, and what makes one's architecture more desirable or cost-effective than another, the easiest approach might just be to take real-world examples. For completeness' sake, I'll even take four of them: The 5G iPod, the 1G iPod Shuffle, the Nokia N93, and the Samsung P920. All these devices are aimed at very different markets, and the technology behind each of them is distinct; in fact, even the approaches taken are sometimes very different, partially so because of the intended markets.
Integrated Circuits can be classified in three categories: digital, analogue and mixed signal. Most chips people think about are digital or at least mixed signal. In fact, when we referred to "handheld chipsets" in the last few pages, we were thinking specifically of digital chips. CPUs are nearly always digital-only, while GPUs are often mixed-signal, because (NVIDIA G80 is a notable exception) they have an on-chip DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Converter) to get the image in a form the display can understand. Furthermore, the sound chips on today's mainboards are analogue; the processing is done on the CPU. Creative Labs' sound cards also tend to include a digital signal processor (DSP) to offload processing from the CPU, though.
This brings us to the first difference between the 5G iPod and the 1G iPod Shuffle. The former uses a primarily digital chip designed by PortalPlayer for sound processing and decoding, and a DAC from Wolfson Microelectronics. The latter uses a single mixed-signal chip from SigmaTel, and doesn't need a LCD controller (due to lack of any display whatsoever). This vast reduction in the number of components necessary permits smaller form factors and costs, obviously.
The original iPod didn't have a very high level of integration, even though the technology at that time would most likely have permitted much better than that. There were two primary reasons for that: First of all, time to market. And the second reason is quality. Excluding the audio DAC, there is no inherent reason why a single SoC with everything integrated cannot have equivalent quality (and lower costs!) than multi-chip equivalents. The problem lies in the fact that many companies lack the in-house IP, expertise and/or budgets to deliver an integrated solution of excellent quality; they tend to be much more specialized. This is getting less and less true, but remains an important factor nonetheless.
Higher levels of integration, if you have the capability to achieve them, are thus highly desirable if it doesn't mean your product comes out too late to still be meaningful. There are (pretty big) catches to take into consideration, though. The first is the size of your addressable market for any given chip. If your chip is highly integrated, it can also mean it's highly specialized in many cases. The most obvious example of all is that if you add a 2.5G wideband transceiver to your application processor's design, it is also unlikely to be very competitive in anything but 2.5G mobile phones!
Thus, should you choose to pursue maximal levels of integration anyway, you've got two options. You can choose to either pack in as many features as possible to hit as many market segments as possible with a single product (which would reduce cost-competitiveness if the handheld manufacturer didn't need some of those features), or just make more distinct chips and target them at different markets. The latter might seem more desirable, but designing a variety cutting-edges chips on the latest available manufacturing processes is going to cost you money, and lots of it, because of both extra engineering/verification expenses and the one-time tape-out costs you pay to the fab. So this only makes sense if you've got large volumes to offset the extra costs.
Finally, there is at least one other problem with integration: digital circuits follow Moore's Law, but analogue circuits do not. The only way to rapidly shrink analogue chips (or analogue parts in a mixed-signal chip) is by being clever rather than relying on manufacturing innovation. That means increasing efficiency by better design, but also progressively moving as much functionality as possible towards the digital part of the chip. What used to be cheaper to do in analogue back in the days often isn't so anymore - by properly applying these principles, some TI engineers have claimed to be able to imitate Moore's Law for the analogue parts of their designs.

15 Of The Most Magical Harry Potter Decorations

It's time to string up the twinkling lights, trim the tree in silver and gold, and cover your home in the most magical Harry Potter Christmas decorations of all time.

The old adage of 'third time lucky' has proved true for Julie Duhra. After two years of making it as far as the top 100 of the Independent Achievers Academy, her store in Telford has gone all the way to the final this year.
The facts
- Location: Telford, Shropshire
- Hours: 6am-8pm Monday – Saturday, 7am-8pm Sunday
- Staff: Five part-time
- Size: 1,500sq ft
- Trading started: Feb 1982
- Style: A convenience store in a parade of shops, whose customers are predominately local residents, workmen and factory staff.
They had a setback last year when just before the store was due to be assessed, a car smashed through the shop window. "We had just got the shop how we wanted it when it happened," says Julie, "Our signage was rubbish when they arrived."
As well as fixing the damage, the shop has had a refresh this year to modernise it and extend the amount of space given to chilled food and drink, with a dedicated soft drinks chiller.
"You have to make steady improvements if you want to keep going forward," Joey adds. "Like your car, your shop needs a regular service."
The shop's ranging has also been improved. "I went to a Co-op and I noticed how they only had one bay for pet food whereas we had 12ft, so I went around our store, looked at the slow sellers and got rid of loads," says Julie. "Since we joined the IAA we've used the Retail Profit Guide. We have it in the top drawer and use it to assess what we're doing."
Julie says the key to their success is the loyalty they've built up with the local community. "Everyone goes to Tesco Express first, but then they realise its quite expensive.
Value plays a huge role in the store's offer. "All the workmen come in and pick up a £1 sandwich, a bag of crisps and a 35p energy drink, which gets them lunch for under £2," explains Julie. Joey says that since the rise of Lidl and Aldi and the recession, everyone wants a bargain. "You have to sacrifice margin to do it, but if you don't offer a bargain you're losing sales," he says.
And it's not just what they stock that brings people in – it's the huge role they play in the community. "I get a buzz out of speaking to people," Julie says. "Being here for so long, you become one big family. They trust me and that's a big thing."
A hockey team and Telford United are among those they've sponsored in the past, and they've just taken on sponsorship of the local under-10s football team. "Their parents and their grandparents use the shop, so we know most of the kids on the team," says Julie. "If you make a fuss of somebody's child they'll come back to the store."
The Duhras also donate a raft of products, raffle prizes and hampers to charities, and offer work experience to local school kids and people with special needs. "If elderly people can't get out, we'll deliver to them and settle the bill when we can," Julie says. "It's not how Aldi and Tesco work, but it's how we work."
Their hard work has clearly paid off – not only through the success of the store, but the accolades they've received. Last year, Julie won the Shropshire Star's The People's Champion award and she has been nominated again by customers this year.
It gets the store out there and gets good advertising, says Julie. "Tesco has already made their name. Us independents, if we don't get out there and be seen and heard we'll close down," she adds.

Large Crowds De-escalation and Nonviolence
10th August 2020 @ 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
This training will provide:
• a deeper understanding of nonviolence
• practical de-escalation skills for maintaining nonviolence with small groups and individuals
• practical de-escalation skills for large crowds.
Nonviolence is one of the core principles which is non-negotiable for everyone who wants to take action under the name of XR. De-escalation is a key skill for anyone involved in any action. It helps maintain nonviolent interactions and atmosphere. XR's nonviolence has both a strategic and ethical dimension. Through this deliberate practice we can model, or 'prefigure', the future we hope to create.

Eight suspected members of a militant Islamist group were referred to a military court Saturday by Prosecutor General Hisham Barakat on charges of attacking security forces personnel and property.
According to investigations, it is alleged the accused are members of Jond Allah (God's Soldiers), a small militant group formed in mid-2014, state news reported. Supreme State Security prosecution claim that the group's leader, Mohamed Ibrahim Ali Shafea, has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State militant group.
The defendants will face charges in a military court, including: belonging to a terrorist group seeking to overthrow the state; the targeting of Christians; the production and possession of weapons; attempting to blow up a military train; and killing army personnel. The incident occurred in Minya, Upper Egypt in November 2014, when the defendants attempted to use an explosive device on a passing military train but which failed to detonate.
Other defendants in the case include a man named Hassan Abu Marwan, accused of training militants, and a woman named Shaimaa M, who is accused of financially supporting the group.
A decree passed by President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on 27 October 2014 greatly expanded the scope of Egypt's military courts. This now allows for any civilian charged with attacking "public and vital" property, including trains, to be tried by the closed-door tribunals.
The trials have been used in cases involving many suspected Islamist militants who are suspected to be behind the rise in terrorism in Egypt. The violence increased following the July 2013 ouster of Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi, but has been gathering pace in 2015.
Last week, a blast left two dead when a bomb exploded outside the Cairo High Court on Monday. Explosions associated with militant activities have become an almost daily occurrence in across the country.
In February, Daily News Egypt reported the case of a nine-year-old child in Fayoum who is due to face military court.

Belle of Claremont Hornpipe
BELLE OF CLAREMONT HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Dolly Brown." See "Wagoner (1)," "Tennessee Wagoner." American, Hornpipe. C Major (Cole, Ford, Ryan): D Major (Kerr). Standard tuning. AABB (Cole, Ford): AA'BB' (Kerr). The tune that R.P. Christeson believes "Wagoner" is derived from. Bayard (1981) agrees, in part, but says both come from older tunes. See my summary of Bayard's research under "Tennessee Wagoner."
The origins of the title are unclear. If was assume an American provenance for the title, the most famous 'Claremonts' are Robert Fulton's original steamship of that name (spelled somewhat differently, The Clermont), and the mansion it was named for, Claremont, New York, on the banks of the river (the Hudson) that his steamship plied. The mansion stood north of Grant's Tomb and was built soon after the American Revolution by one Michael Hogan, who had once been a fellow midshipman with Prince William, King George III's third son. Hogan entertained the Prince at Claremont when the latter visited America. Later, when Joseph Bonaparte, Napoleon's elder brother, was in America after the Battle of Waterloo, he lived at Claremont. Fulton's steamship had its first trials on the river opposite the mansion. An 1893 account entitled "Sunday in Greenwich Village" (see http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/new-york-history-16.shtml) records that "Two of the company on Fulton's first steamboat voyage down the Hudson have but lately passed to the other side of the sea of time. Dr. William Perry, who lived at Exeter, New Hampshire, and who survived his ninety-eighth birthday, rode from Albany to Kingston on the return trip of the steamboat, and had a vivid remembrance of the incidents of that eventful voyage. He declared that the name of the boat was not the Clermont, and has been generally accepted, but Katharine of Claremont, so called in honor of Fulton's wife, who was a daughter of Chancellor Livingston, and her family, to whose liberality he owed the money to carry out his idea of a vessel propelled by steam." It is possible, then, that the 'belle' of the title was Katharine.
Alternatively, there were connections in Ryan's Mammoth Collection with mid-18th century musicians from around Claremont, New Hampshire, from whom this title possibly derived. Michael McKernon has uncovered through his researches a musical northern New England family named Densmore who are credited in Ryan's with a couple of tunes. Michael identifies the Densmores from old accounts as "probably O. Densmore from Chelsea, Vermont, who led a dance band in the 1840's and 1850's, and/or a relative of C. Densmore, Claremont, New Hampshire, a musician/band leader of the same era. Though I have no record of a T. Densmore per se, the Messrs. Densmore' from Chelsea (along with a Densmore [probably C.] from Claremont), joined more than two dozen musicians who played at a Musicians' Annual Ball in Lebanon, New Hampshire, in 1847. O. Densmore was (at least) once listed as playing the 'clarionet' (clarinet)." [Fiddle-L archives, 20 Feb, 2001). Although there is no date of publication for the Kerr's Merry Melody collections, they were published around the same time as Ryan's Mammoth (1883) and share many of the same tunes.

You want peace. You want happiness. I do too. Because life changes for me every day, I want to explore and examine what I have created to this moment. Has it allowed me happiness?
Not only do things around me change. I change also. And, most important to me, … my emotions change like a weather station.
My point is this: my emotions detect, measure and publish the effect of my thinking to the core of my being, the best version of myself.
When my thoughts are running tapes about a past misunderstanding or a perceived threat in the future, my emotions send out the report. The further away I am from my best self, the louder and stormier my emotions are.
Emotions are my gauge to mental wellness The more I pay attention to my emotions, the more I can affect changes by changing my thoughts (the weather patterns).
There are times when I ride on bursts of frustration, disappointment, confusion, and so on. It seems to just rush out of me without foresight. These emotional outbursts don't seem mentally healthy to me and to those who have to hear me.
And when this isn't really understood just endured, it can recur on a regular basis.
But I don't lose hope. With consistent practice over a lifetime, I can create more enjoyable living even in the face of difficult situations.
When I give thoughts that do not serve me — thoughts that make me feel inferior, separate from others and even from my best self—I am alerted to the situation by my emotions.
I am able to eventually stop and examine the thoughts that may have set off the alarm. I eventually find these thoughts to be unhelpful. i realize emotions triggered my attention so I can make a change if I choose to. As I realign to my best self, I immediately feel better.
I can rise out of any situation and enjoy this life.
This exercise, practiced over a lifetime, definitely has helped me.
I think you may find it surprising. Pay attention to the times you feel good versus the times you feel unhappy. Check your emotional weather station frequently during the day and adjust your thought focus, accordingly.
A simple but powerful trick:
- Check your emotional weather station when you first wake up!
- If you are feeling reasonably content, pleasantly satisfied, then stay with the good feelings as long as you can.
- When the emotional gauge drops or rises, its time to prepare for the storm!
- Stop what you are doing. Really, drop whatever you are doing. Go no further!
- Go for a walk, make a cup of tea, play with your pet, sit in the sun … whatever are your favorite things …until you are enjoying your thoughts. Don't be afraid to let go of the troubling thoughts. Let go, let go, let go. Play, play, play … go to places where worry cannot go!
When you return to oppressive feelings, and you will, simply go back to #4 and 5. As you discover a lighter release of situational concerns, try to stay as long as possible in this new, happy moment. But when it cools, —or heats up to perhaps resentment, jealously, find another favorite thing to do, quickly.
You can uncover each unhappy feeling. As you practice, you will detect the thinking that was detrimental to happiness.
As this realization becomes stronger, you will allow your best self to shine with the ease, like a sunny day. You may find you are not so loyal to dramatic expression. You may find you are creating new, more comfortably-aligned thoughts with your best self. In other words, your thoughts and the thoughts of your best self are closely united, allowing all the good things into your life without needing to defend against imagined enemies.
This method has been my friend and continually puts me back on the road to sanity. I hope it helps you.
Note: If you are having difficulty with your life, please share your struggles with a friend or family member. Perhaps seek out professional help. Shed light on your sorrow We all are on this life-journey together. How we share with others brings expanded meaning for many others. Our truth will make us free.
Oh yes. You can do it!

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will vote this week in Paris on a plan to radically open up the procedure for assigning top-level domain names.
The international nonprofit group, which has regulated the use of Web site names since 1998, may lift current URL (unform resource locator) restrictions so much that the only limits will be in the imagination of the domain name holder — that is, as long as the name is not longer than 64 characters.
Still, think ".at&t," ".microsoft" or ".sanfrancisco" instead of ".com," ".gov" or ".net," and you have an idea regarding the Internet land rush that might ensue if ICANN votes for the proposal.
The only catch is monetary. Reports indicate the board may charge anywhere from US$30,000 to $50,000 for the custom-made domains. But the higher fees might be well worth it for marketing-savvy corporations.
Creating New Web Real Estate
"Let's say the world was running short of land, and somebody created a reclamation project that created whole new sections of real estate," suggested Ramnath Chellappa, an associate professor at Emory Univeristy's Goizueta Business School.
"I don't know if it will decrease the price of all existing real estate, but … this is a huge thing," he told TechNewsWorld.
ICANN will have to rededicate itself to enforcement if the proposal passes, so that domain-squatting and fraud don't re-emerge as problems for companies of all sizes, predicted Chellappa.
The Language of the Internet
The ICANN proposals may also involve allowing non-Roman letters to appear in URLs; a Russian Web site could feature Cyrillic lettering, for example.
That development would favor local companies more than multinational conglomerates, in Chellappa's view. "If these companies are not known outside of Russia, they will likely cater to this. Those outside will want to stress the global component of English."
Good News for a Mobile Web
ICANN is likely to pass the proposals due to the Internet's explosive growth, said Chellappa. The group believes all existing domain names will be used over the next five years.
New technologies will dictate ICANN's moves this week, he remarked. "We really haven't even seen the beginnings of it, particularly in the mobile space. Smartphones are only now becoming prevalent. As 3G phones come into play, people will start using the Web more, and they'll prefer shorter URLs."

The Frank Gambale analysis videos are here! This is an hour-long feature series — a deep dive into Frank's influential technique that we've been working on since last year.
We were fortunate to meet up with Frank in 2018, where we got a close-up look at what's undoubtedly one of the most influential techniques in guitar.
In this detailed analysis series, we dig into the reasons why certain picking motions only work with certain arrangements of fretted notes. And we tie those concepts to specific motions that we can see that Frank makes under the camera.
Along the way we answer some long-overdue questions about the differences between alternate picking and sweeping, and provide our most exhaustive look yet at the ingeniously serendipitous interaction between pickslanting and picking motion.
The entire series is now on the platform for subscribers, as part of the full Frank Gambale Interview package. But we've made the entire analysis series free to watch on YouTube as well. Without further ado…
Secrets of Gambale Sweeping! Ch. 1: Introduction
In this first installment, let's do a quick overview of the topics we're going to cover.
Secrets of Gambale Sweeping! Ch. 2: Ingredients of Economy
What exactly is "Gambale Sweeping" anyway? In this second installment of our series, we look at what Frank's secret sauce of economized picking really entails, and why it brought certain types of lines within reach of more players than ever before.
Secrets of Gambale Sweeping! Ch. 3: The Mystery of Alternate Picking
Economy picking solutions like Gambale Sweeping combine both sweeping and alternate picking. The sweeping half of this tends to get the most attention, because alternate picking is just the pick moving side to side, and we all know how that works, right? Not so fast!
In this third installment of the series, we look at the concept of escape motion, and how it's used by elite players like Frank, John McLaughlin, and David Grier, even when no sweeping is involved at all.
Secrets of Gambale Sweeping! Ch. 4: The Mechanics of Pick Attack
Frank Gambale's trademark "Gambale Sweeping" approach involves systematic changes in the pick's orientation, including edge picking, pickslanting, and even picking motions that move along different angled pathways.
With all this motion in the ocean, how does he keep the attack sounding good? The answer to this simple question reveals the deeper relationship between the pick's orientation and the way it moves.
Secrets of Gambale Sweeping! Ch. 5: The Four Motions of Gambale Sweeping
What do you get when you combine two alternate picking motions, two sweeping motions, and Frank's creative genius? Music!
In this final installment, we assemble the component parts of Gambale Sweeping into the complete system, and describe the simple set of rules that you can use to determine which motions go with which kinds of phrases.

A South Carolina man is facing multiple charges for two separate incidents of alleged DUI. Charges against him include felony DUI, hit and run and driving an uninsured motor vehicle — among several others. The consequences for a DUI conviction can be severe, according to state laws, particularly if there is a history of repeat offenses.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol reports that the accused was recently involved in an accident that claimed the life of one individual. Charges were filed against him, and he was released on bond. Just days after his release, troopers claim this same individual was arrested again following another crash. The second collision occurred in Anderson County over a weekend.
The accused was reportedly taken to the hospital for medical care before he was arrested. It is unknown if anyone else was injured in the crash. This incident is still being investigated by local law enforcement. The accused has been released on bond, and it is unknown if any further court dates have been scheduled at this time.
Regardless of a person's previous criminal record, those accused do have the right to defend themselves and expect fair court proceedings for the current charges at hand. As the felony DUI and other charges listed against this individual are taken very seriously in South Carolina, he would likely benefit from a strategically planned criminal defense on his behalf. While these charges won't be particularly easy to fight, it isn't an impossible task. There are a variety of legal avenues that may be pursued to achieve a desirable outcome.

The setting is New York, and although the four main characters are never named, the representations are obvious. On the night Marilyn Monroe (Theresa Russell) shoots the blowing-skirt-above-the-grate scene for The Seven Year Itch witnessed by a mass of onlookers, Albert Einstein (Michael Emil) is holed up in a hotel room preparing for a conference. Senator Joseph McCarthy (Tony Curtis) is in town trying to pressure Einstein into admitting he is a communist sympathizer. And Marilyn's husband Joe DiMaggio (Gary Busey) is despondent, watching the world ogle his wife.
Over one long night the four characters meet in pairs in Einstein's room, engaging in conversations on a variety of topics. An elevator attendant (Will Sampson) interacts with a few of them.
Writer Terry Johnson adapts his stage play to the screen, and admittedly, Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe McCarthy and Joe DiMaggio walk into a hotel...is a potentially compelling introduction to a joke or a skit. But despite oodles of style, director Nicolas Roeg cannot hide the subsequent lack of substance. Beyond the initial what if curiosity, Insignificance fizzles.
Roeg scatters flashback snippets to the childhoods of the four characters in a superficial attempt to explain what shaped their psyche, and makes an effort to infuse some visual splendour as an antidote to the nondescript hotel room hosting most of the dialogue. The ending attempts to layer Einstein's worst nightmare on top of the already imagined drama, and by this stage the film is gasping for any oxygen to relieve the tedium.
With four character sharing the screen time, the actors are unable to meaningfully delve beneath the make-up. Insignificance is a compelling set-up with a limp punchline.

On Monday, May 17, 2021, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") issued a request for information and comment ("RFI") regarding the current and potential digital asset activities of insured depository institutions ("IDIs"). The RFI is intended to inform the FDIC's understanding of digital asset activities, including associated risk and compliance management issues. Comments on the RFI are due by July 16, 2021.
The RFI categorizes digital asset activities into five use cases and solicits comments based on this framework. The five use cases are (i) technology solutions, such as token-based systems and distributed ledgers; (ii) asset-based activities, such as investments and margin lending; (iii) liability-based activities, such as deposit services and reserves; (iv) custodial services; and (v) other activities, which could include market-making and decentralized financing. The RFI requests comment on whether additional use cases should be included within this framework and which use cases have the greatest demand in the marketplace. The RFI also requests that commenters provide more detailed information about the use cases that IDIs currently conduct or are considering conducting.
In addition to seeking comment on the use case framework itself, the RFI asks questions with respect to:
- Risk and compliance management. Among other questions, the RFI requests comment on the extent to which IDIs' existing risk and compliance management frameworks are designed to address the risks associated with digital asset activities, whether IDIs must develop new risk and compliance frameworks to address certain of these risks, and how IDIs can integrate digital asset operations into existing legacy banking systems. The RFI also requests comment on how IDIs are integrating digital asset activities into existing cybersecurity functions.
- Supervision and activities. The RFI requests comment on whether there are unique supervisory considerations applicable to digital asset activities, whether additional supervisory guidance is necessary to address digital asset activities, and how custody of digital assets differs from the custody of traditional assets. In addition, noting that the FDIC's existing regulations on permissible activities for state-chartered banks may apply to digital asset activities and investments, the RFI requests comment on whether the FDIC can address uncertainty over the permissibility of certain digital asset activities by modifying its application filing procedures.
- Deposit insurance and resolution. The RFI requests comment on whether the FDIC should take steps to ensure that customers can distinguish between insured deposits and uninsured digital asset products. The RFI also requests that commenters compare fiat-backed stablecoins and stored value products where the underlying funds are held at IDIs. Additionally, the RFI asks for comment on particular challenges that the FDIC may experience across the digital asset use cases in the context of a receivership or resolution process.
Finally, the RFI states that it welcomes comments on other digital asset issues, including the digital asset activities of uninsured banks and nonbanks.
The FDIC issued the RFI at a time when the federal banking agencies are increasingly focused on digital asset activities specifically and technological innovation generally. For example:
- FDIC. The FDIC named its first Chief Innovation Officer, Sultan Meghji, in February 2021. The FDIC's announcement of this appointment notes that the Innovation Officer will be tasked with "leading the FDIC's efforts to promote the adoption of innovative technologies across the financial services sector."
- OCC. In July 2020 and January 2021, respectively, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") issued interpretive letters addressing national banks' and federal savings associations' authority (i) to provide cryptocurrency custody services for customers (see our blog post on this topic) and (ii) to hold the reserves used to back stablecoins held in hosted wallets. In June 2020, the OCC issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking inviting public comment on its regulations relating to national bank and federal saving association digital activities. Moreover, in late 2020 and early 2021, the OCC granted preliminary conditional approvals for cryptocurrency firms to operate national trust companies.
- Federal Reserve. On Wednesday, May 5, 2021, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") issued a notice requesting public comment on proposed guidelines articulating a series of principles to be used by Federal Reserve Banks in evaluating requests for Reserve Bank master accounts and payment services. As described in our client alert, the proposed guidelines are intended to create a transparent and consistent framework for Federal Reserve Banks to evaluate requests for accounts and services in the face of rapid technological innovations in financial services and the emergence of novel bank charter types.
- Interagency. On March 31, 2021, the Federal Reserve, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, FDIC, OCC, and National Credit Union Administration published in the Federal Register a request for information on financial institutions' use of artificial intelligence ("AI"), including machine learning. This request for information, which is intended to inform these agencies' understanding of how financial institutions employ AI, seeks comment on a range of issues relating to AI, including risk management and potential benefits to financial institutions and customers.
