The current literature concerning the of use of 3D printers in libraries can assist many organizations that are interested in purchasing and setting up 3D printer programs as well as those programs that have already been established. According to the American Libraries Association (2018) one of the guiding principles and mission is "to provide access to information to all users" (p.1) and by doing this they have the potential to help communities create knowledge. Thus, the availability of 3D services complements the purpose by being a space of creativity and innovation. 3D printers (and books) are just tools that help achieve that main purpose. Kalish (2011) also mentions that libraries are a "learning business" that help minds expand by providing resources to the community that are not available to most individuals.
Another important goal of many libraries in the U.S. is to encourage and support children to learn and get them interested in learning. Associated with this is the philosophy of helping students to follow their interests and passions. Most students as well as adults find using new technologies highly motivating. Thus, libraries are purchasing 3D printers to assist students and adults to get hands-on experience using emerging technologies. There are numerous ways to introduce library patrons to 3D printers. One way is to establish a Makerspace which is defined as a combination of "manufacturing equipment, community, and education for the purposes of enabling community members to design, prototype and create manufactured works that wouldn't be possible to create with the resources available to individuals working alone" (Maker Media, 2017, p.1). The Maker movement is a do-it-yourself community that share interests, clubs, fairs, projects and festivals. The movement can be tracked to 2006 in San Francisco when Make Magazine organized an event called Maker Faire that was considered one of instigators of the Maker movement. Rivero adds that: "Schools and educators have taken to the movement's model quite naturally, as it's very much at the intersection of theory and practice, of study and fun: of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or STEM." (Rivero, 2017, p.5)
Using an approach similar to Makerspaces is a project called Connected Learning which is also being used in several libraries around the U.S. to support student learning. The main concept is to harness the personal interests of students to actively engage them in creating as well as solving problems that they care about.
Wapner (2015) stated that there are around 120,000 libraries (16,000 are public libraries) in the U.S. and each year more of these libraries provide 3D printing services. "In public libraries, 428 branches offer the service, up dramatically from 250 the year before" (Wapner, p.1). According to this author, to use and make the most of the technology associated with 3D printing, there is a need for minimal knowledge of how to operate this type of technology. Libraries can provide demonstrations and training not only on printing but also on how to use software to build 3D models. Instructors and librarians are integrating 3D printing in the learning process as a way of preparing the next generation to face future challenges from "high-demand science, engineering and technical subjects" (Wapner, p.3).
A 2017 survey conducted by Library Journal found that use of 3D printing in Makerspaces was among the most popular programs. Use of 3D printers doubled since the previous survey conducted in 2014 (Dixon, 2017). Fontichiaro (2016) discusses 3D printers in the context of Makerspaces. She writes about some positive aspects but is also concerned that 3D printers promote consumerism but not creativity and the learning curve for developing and programming models is too extensive.
3D Printer: Is used to produce an object based on a computer-generated model. The object is created by repeatedly layering thin material down to form the object. A 3D printer uses computer software (computer-aided manufacturing – CAM) that directs the printer to produce an object.
Public Libraries: A facility that is available to all individuals. Public libraries are typically financially supported by governmental funds.
3D Printing: Is an additive manufacturing process using a computer-generated model to create an object by layering thin material to produce an object.
Higher Education (HE) Libraries: Are libraries that serve and are associated with a post-secondary school that provide resources and support for a specific school's programs and pedagogy as well as assisting faculty and students in their studies and investigations.
Library Patrons: Individuals who uses resources and services of the library.
Makerspaces: A place where individuals meet to share interests, ideas, equipment, and information or expertise. Library Makerspaces frequently contain electronics, 3D printers, computers, and various materials, and more.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD): Software that allows the user to develop computer-generated designs with the potential end goal of producing two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects.
3D Interactive Environment: Also known as virtual reality or tri dimensional digital space.

NAPD sets the scene for school reopening as Covid Committee hears from Ireland's secondary school leaders
NAPD sets the scene for school reopening as Covid Committee hears from Ireland's secondary school leaders
A full return to school in late August-September described by school leaders as "best outcome", provided it is safe to do so for all students and staff.
- The National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD) to present to Oireachtas Special Committee on Covid-19 Response on key challenges set for schools and school leaders as return to traditional post-primary education planned
- Minister for Education Norma Foley and all education stakeholders must take key learnings from recent months to modernise post primary education
- Leaving Certificate reform and digital learning access for all students must now be progressed
- Extra school resources essential as challenges of dated infrastructure, social distancing, immunocompromised students and staff, and blended learning to be heard by committee members.
The National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD) is set to present to the Oireachtas Special Committee on Ireland's Covid-19 response, today, Tuesday, 7 July 2020.
Alan Mongey, NAPD President and Principal of Coláiste Bhaile Chláir in Claregalway and Paul Byrne, NAPD Deputy Director will outline the challenges facing post-primary education as schools plan to reopen in late August–September.
The NAPD and school leaders from the over 700 post-primary schools it represents have been at the forefront of ensuring continued student learning and the implementation of the Leaving Cert 'calculated grades' programme, necessary due to Ireland's Covid-19 restrictions.
This in-depth insight into the challenges brought about by Covid-19 has led to a clear understanding among post-primary school leaders that "a one-size-fits-all solution to school reopening will not work".
What's needed?
While the reopening of schools will create huge responsibility for all involved, centralised Department of Education support, guidance, and procurement is essential to reduce the burden that will be placed on school leaders.
As it stands, it will be principals and deputy principals who are primarily tasked with leading and managing any return to traditional education. This workload will add to that of an already over-stretched cohort who were already calling for increased resources and support pre-Covid-19.
Each school requires:
- The appointment of a Covid-19 assistant to implement and monitor full public health guidelines.
- Financial investment to allow the purchase of increased cleaning and social distancing infrastructure.
Learnings from Covid-19
While Covid-19 has brought about unprecedented challenges for post primary education, it can now provide us with an opportunity to reflect and allow what the NAPD describes as "key learnings to be made on reforming an education sector" that in recent times has proven to be "unfit for adaption".
The Association is set to call on education stakeholders to use Covid-19 as a precedent for rolling out blended learning, Leaving Cert reform and school digitalisation, all progressions it describes as having previously been "unworkable" and which now are completely necessary.
Speaking ahead of the NAPD's presentation to the Oireachtas Special Committee on Covid-19 Response, Alan Mongey, NAPD President, said:
"The NAPD welcomes the opportunity to present to the Oireachtas Committee today as the body representing school leaders from over 700 post-primary schools across Ireland.
"School leaders are committed to working in partnership with all education stakeholders to prepare for the safe reopening of schools in late August and September in order to provide the best education for all students. There is no doubt that a return to traditional education as soon as possible is the best outcome for all concerned.
"Increased investment in education is essential. The choice for government is an important one: a failure to adequately invest in the short term will lead to a further loss in learning opportunities for those students whose school year and learning has been interrupted. The rollout of proper resourcing now can prevent further learning loss and ensure no student is disadvantaged.
"Likewise, a failure to take and implement learnings from Covid-19 to reform post-primary education will be a missed opportunity and will leave us ill-equipped to face a similar future pandemic scenario."

Fresher Than Raw: Extreme Foodies Savor Fare That's ... ALIVE!
Eat that octopus before it slithers away, call the maggots to your turning cheese, and other moving selections from the living menu.
BERLIN - The octopus is moving around on the plate on its tentacles. The cook swiftly grabs it by its slimy head, pushes a skewer through the tentacles, wraps them around it – and voila, the Korean delicacy known as sannakji, served with chili sauce or a sesame oil and salt dip.
Sannakji means "live octopus," explains Hwan Nam-kong of Furusato, a Korean restaurant in Berlin, adding that the dish can be found all over Korea.
That the octopus is still moving when served is not a problem. On the contrary: "The fact that it is still alive on the plate is a sign of quality," she says. If the octopus is very large, the tentacles are cut off with scissors right before serving.
But the tentacles are also "alive." They continue to move, and will even wander off if they're not stopped. Andreas Nieder, a professor at the University of Tubingen's Institute of Neurobiology, explains the mechanism this way: "When parts of an animal are separated from it and continue to move it means that smaller nerve bundles are still intact." The bundles can carry on in absence of the brain for a while.
However, eating moving tentacles is not without danger: they can fix themselves to the inside of your mouth – or worse your throat – which could lead to suffocation and death. So if you order the dish in Korea make sure to chew well, advises Hwan Nam-kong. In her Berlin establishment, octopus is not served this way for the simple reason that it's difficult to get live octopus in Germany.
She has heard that Germans believe that eating living things is a form of animal torture. "Every country has its own food culture that should be accepted by other cultures," she says.
German animal protection laws allow such "delicacies" requiring only that all vertebrates be killed without causing them pain. That's because "we assume that vertebrates can feel certain types of pain, which means they can suffer," explains Professor Nieder. Because octopuses aren't vertebrates they don't qualify for this consideration.
Rotten cheese attracts the *meat* course
According to German law, ikizukuri, a Japanese method of preparing fish – a vertebrate – would be illegal in Germany.
Koki Umesaka, a chef at Berlin's Daruma Japanese restaurant, explains that with ikizukuri, a fish is served with its eyes, gills and mouth still moving. That's not easy, he says. It requires a special technique, and a very sharp knife. Only very experienced chefs know how to do this, he says.
[rebelmouse-image 27086865 alt="""" original_size="800x543" expand=1]
Ikizukuri - Photo: GNU Free Documentation License
And the point of serving fish alive? Here too it's a sign of freshness and quality. He tried it on his customers in Berlin, but they didn't like it.
Less problematic in terms of animal rights, but not necessarily more appetizing to German palates, is the Sardinian cheese specialty known as casu marzu, which is also a living food. Translated, its name means "rotten cheese" referring to the maggots writhing within.
Making casu marzu is simple: take a pecorino (sheep's milk cheese), remove the rind and then leave it outside, explains Andrea L'Abbate of the eponymous Italian cheese manufacturer in Frankfurt. The cheese fly piophila casei will shortly lay some 500 eggs in it.
[rebelmouse-image 27086866 alt="""" original_size="800x600" expand=1]
Casu marzu cheese - Photo: Shardan
The maggots that emerge from the eggs feast on the cheese, and their microbial metabolic products give it a creamy consistency and powerful smell – and when that happens, the Sardinian delicacy has reached the ready-to-eat stage for humans. Serve with bread and red wine – but make sure to wear glasses to protect your eye, because the maggots leap about.
That's if you can find the cheese at all – tightened hygiene regulations in Germany now forbid production of casu marzu, says L'Abbate, although there's a black market for it where it costs double what a normal pecorino would cost. She also warns that diarrhea or vomiting may result from consumption, although another supposed side effect is heightened sexual desire.
A similar side effect is attributed to another living food you can easily find in Germany – oysters. Greek mythology has it that Aphrodite, goddess of love, sprang from an oyster. Famed Italian seducer Casanova is said to have eaten oysters to maximize his staying power, according to Guillaume Boullay of the Austern Restaurant Meerwein in Hamburg.
If you eat raw oysters they have to be alive, otherwise you may get food poisoning, he says. The way to recognize a living oyster is by its shell clamped tightly shut, and the smell of fresh iodine when you pry it open with an oyster knife. You can also tell by the way the oyster inside moves if you touch it with the tip of the knife or squirt lemon juice on it.
There is one common kind of live food that is not a curiosity: live lactic acid bacteria are found in most German refrigerators in products like sour cream and yoghurt. And although this is also a living food, hardly anyone in Germany finds it unappetizing. On the contrary: statistically, every German consumes about 18 kilograms of yogurt per year.
Conclusion? Every cuisine in the world seems to offer live food of some kind – but what's unappetizing, downright disgusting, or crosses over into animal torture is judged very differently depending on which country you are in.

Deiss says WTO farm talks progressing
Economics Minister Joseph Deiss tells swissinfo good progress was made at World Trade Organization farm talks in Geneva despite the lack of a breakthrough.
Commenting after the talks broke off on Wednesday, the United States trade representative Robert Portman said he was disappointed that Washington's offer to cut farm subsidies had not been matched by the European Union.
But Deiss said all sides now knew where they stood and there was still hope of reaching agreement by the end of the year.
Ministers from the EU, US, Brazil, India and Australia - known as the Five Interested Parties - have agreed to meet again next week along with representatives of Switzerland, Japan, Argentina and other countries.
The 148-member WTO needs to agree a blueprint in Hong Kong in December for the final stage of its Doha round of talks. Negotiations are struggling in a number of key areas, of which agriculture is the most pressing.
If successful, this round of talks is expected to give a multibillion-dollar boost to the world economy and may lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.
swissinfo: What is your view of the outcome of this week's talks?
Joseph Deiss: For me the important message is that the process is now underway, that proposals are on the table and that discussions are taking place.
It's too early to have the breakthrough since the different groups or countries like the US, the EU and the G10 [group of large import countries] have made new proposals. Of course they do not match immediately, there are still huge differences, but the simple fact that we know where we stand... is already very important progress.
swissinfo: What is Switzerland's position in relation to the different groupings?
J.D.: We are one of the two leaders of the G10 and we have put forward our proposal. It is quite realistic but also quite important and we want it to be a credible proposal. That means not simply tactics but something that can work and we can afford.
On export subsidies, we are prepared to phase them out totally. On domestic support, we are in line with what the other groups are doing - the main trend here is promising.
Finally there are still big problems in market access [tariffs] where we, the G10 group, are firmly opposed to any tariff capping and are looking for flexibility.
swissinfo: How difficult will it be to convince Swiss farmers to accept your end result?
J.D.: It will be very difficult since they will be asked to make very important reforms but on the other hand we are already working on [the reform].
The main outline for agricultural policy for the period 2007–2011 is already known. There we already introduced the elements we need in order to implement the most probable outcome of the rounds.
swissinfo: The US is offering "deep" cuts in its farm subsidies. What is your opinion of that offer?
J.D.: The US is making an important step as far as domestic support is concerned. It is important for us now to see the full consequences for the US. Does this mean a real fundamental change in their agricultural policy?
swissinfo: The EU is now under pressure on market access. What is your opinion of the EU position?
J.D.: The EU position is to some extent going less far than we in the G10 proposed. On the other hand it lacks some essential elements for us like... tariff capping, which they accept and we totally refuse. So there are some major differences and some converging positions.
swissinfo: How optimistic are you that all the parties will reach agreement by the end-of- year deadline?
J.D.: Well I'm optimistic in so far as I'm still at work. The talks have been constructive, open and calm and as long as I think that it's possible to be done, we will continue.
In brief
Key WTO talks in Geneva have ended with no breakthrough on cutting agricultural tariffs and subsidies.
The United States offered to cut farm subsidies by 60%, but called on the European Union and Japan to make bigger cuts in return.
In response the EU indicated it was willing to at least halve its highest tariffs on farm imports, an offer US trade representative Rob Portman said was insufficient.
Key ministers plan to resume talks next week on hammering out an accord.
In compliance with the JTI standards

The battalion chief working that day had been a young firefighter at Station 24 when I was a college live-in there, and Mike had mentioned my visit to him. He stopped by the station and we told more than a few stories which seemed to enthrall our small audience, both career and volunteers. The hug we exchanged as he left caught them by surprise. I suspect they saw a little different side of the Chief.
The runs started about 5:00 PM and for the next ninety minutes were non-stop. We never made it back to the building. Another would come in just as we were clearing the previous. These rush hour calls were all medical assists. I rode in the back of the squad, a large walk-in rescue, and Mike had the seat. Recently promoted to Firefighter III on the county integrated command list and with no officers or Master firefighters available to ride as the officer; it put him in the seat.
Later that evening, we took the ladder truck, a 100 ft. rear mount straight stick, down to a local restaurant which was sponsoring a fund raiser for the station. Luckily, but unusually, we were able to finish eating before the next call came in. A box in Prince Georges County was sounded with us as the second due ladder truck. Starting up Route 29, power call yelping, Mike hammered the Q and air horn. The traffic took me back, six and eight cars deep in all lanes at intersections. The Master driving skillfully "encouraged" drivers to move. They scattered like ants, some straight through the light, some left, a few right. Shortly before arrival, command placed all units in service, the source of the smoke at the apartment complex having been located and mitigated.
Back at the station while we were shooting the breeze, the station alert sounded for an adaptive response. More than an investigation but less than a full box, two engines and a truck were dispatched for the odor of smoke. The ladder truck with Mike in the seat again, was first arriving and positioned on Side A while the engine laid out from the closest hydrant. Seconds after I had exited the truck, two ladders were up on the A side of the house and the engine company was beginning to stretch an attack line, the four inch supply line trailing back to the plug. The second due engine from PG came in and stood by the hydrant. It was wonderful to watch; poetry in motion. It wasn't anything special, but it was fabulous to watch the basics perfectly executed with no conversation or orders. With only a burned up electrical socket to deal with, we were back in service in just a short time.
Our last run of the night was about 1:00 AM; a nice night for the truck crew. That doesn't mean I slept. Unfamiliar with the station alerts, I woke up for every engine, ambulance, and medic run the balance of the night, of which there were several.
It was a great visit and one I hope to repeat in the spring……with a hotel room waiting for me to sleep in.

Learning accounting is just like learning a foreign language.
When learning a foreign language, it takes time to get the basics drilled down and integrated into one's understanding and usage. Accounting is no different.
You can reach different levels of proficiency. First, there's the basic level of understanding with the ability to speak simple phrases and read on an elementary level. Then, you can be conversant, participating in simple conversations on topics beyond the most immediate needs. Next, you can be proficient in which you feel comfortable using the language in professional and more complicated settings.
The highest level is when you can talk it fluidly or natively. It's when the language flows naturally and the words come right to you before you even think about it.
Here's the deal: As an active investor looking to beat the market, you will need to reach the final level of learning the language of accounting. Therefore, if you're just starting out in the world of business and the markets, learning accounting must be your full priority. There's no shortcut. To really evaluate businesses and achieve success in the markets, you need to be as comfortable with that as you are with your own native language.
This is an accounting reading list for people who don't have time to flick through unimportant books. I assure you that all accounting books on this list is worth your time. You just must be willing to put in the work.
Bookkeeping All–In–One For Dummies
That's right. To learn accounting the way it should flow through your mind, you have to know how figures are put together. You would be amazed at how many people I know who claim to be proficient in reading financial statements but don't know how figures arrive as they do because they don't know the principles of double-entry bookkeeping, debits and credits, balancing of the ledger, and so forth. To become a great investor, you need to think like a business owner. Bookkeeping is the foundation from which all your other knowledge about accounting grows.
Accounting for Non-Accountants
This is an all-around well-constructed book that takes you through important accounting concepts from a business owner's perspective. Author Wayne Label is very straightforward in his explanations and touches the right level of complexity. In addition to having read Bookkeeping All-In-One For Dummies, you will get one level deeper in how accounting transactions turn out as they do reading this book.
This book—which is really a reference guide—deserves a spot on the bookshelf of every business owner, accountant, and investor. You'll get into greater detail between the nuances of IFRS and US GAAP and it goes beyond what you've already learned about simple accounting.
I can't stress enough how important it is to learn accounting from the perspective of a business owner. It's only when you've got that covered that it's time to go into crunching numbers as an investor. You want to lay the right foundation. I thoroughly enjoyed Managerial Accounting because it does just that through real examples and industry-specific case studies.
This book is very important. As you would know by now reading the aforementioned books, accounting is a very big subject and there are very big forces in play. In this book, you will learn the approximations and significant limitations of accounting and how there are lots of ways in which management can either confuse or trick investors. Knowing this stuff takes your knowledge and investing decisions to another level. Extraordinary investing is about avoiding stupidity rather than seeking brilliance. This book teaches you how.
In line with Financial Shenanigans, this book reinforces the investigative mindset you must have when gauging the numbers of a business. Author Thornton O'Glove provides a framework for evaluating earnings quality using simple methods and intellectual exercises that makes you think deeply. You will get introduced to adjusting the numbers to reflect economic reality which is an important exercise in getting to the company's true return on invested capital.
Time to put your knowledge about accounting to practice for the ultimate intellectual exercise as an investor: valuing a business. There are lots of ways in which you can head in the wrong direction in this area because your mind can get clobbered by complexity very easily. Remember that in the investing game just as many smart people fail as stupid ones. The smartest people tend to drift into the more intellectual and elegant concepts, distracting them from the simpler fundamental truths. This book introduces you to the concept of valuation with a firm objective on keeping you to these fundamental truths. Only after reading this book does it make sense to dive into more exotic concepts of valuation.
Annual Reports and Business Newspapers
As with any discipline, theory must be put to practice to get you to a fluid level of proficiency. There is no better way than reading bunches and bunches of annual reports. For many, this is an intimidating activity. But I assure you that the stuff you don't grasp the first time around reading your first annual report will start to make sense as you flip through more of them of different businesses in different industries. At some point, you will start to learn the difference between the companies where management wants you to understand their business and companies where management tries to muddle your understanding.
Then, you want to couple the stuff you learn from reading about different businesses with what's going in the economy through the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, your local business newspaper, and the like. Certain patterns start to emerge and you will find your circle of competence.
And there you have an investing superpower since few market competitors are willing to put in the same amount of work as you do.

I visited Tau Ke recently, for a late lunch meetup with some friends. We were basically driving around Taman Megah, looking for a quiet and condusive spot for some chit chat session and eventually came across this restaurant. It seemed quiet, new and a good spot to hang out at.
Assam Pedas Nyonya Rice (B), RM 18.95 + Salted Fish Pork Chop Fried Bihoon, RM 12.95 + Braised Pork Belly Pao, RM 4.95
This dish was tasty. As you can see, it includes a bowl of rice + a good portion of assam pedas fish with gravy + fish crackers + pickled vegetables + tomatoes + egg. The assam pedas gravy was well flavored. The fish portion was plenty however, do note that the fish is not steamed, instead its fried fillet, which was equally tasty.
This dish was okay. If you want a simple noodle dish, this could be it. To me, the bihoon tasted similar to the ones you'd find at a morning market? The ones with a large tray of meehoon, mee and nyonya kuih with and aunty or uncle handling the whole thing? It does not matter where but the dishes pretty much have similar taste across the board, right? Yea, this dish tasted like those noodles. A simple dish with pork chop and shredded eggs.
Yea, I wasn't really feeling this one. Umm, it was somewhat dry and basic. If you are intending to be wow-ed, it wont happen with this dish. I'd skip the pao next time.

Jimmy Heath, a saxophonist, composer, bandleader, and NEA Jazz Master whose career lasted nearly 75 years, died January 19 in Loganville, Georgia. He was 93.
His death was confirmed by National Public Radio, who spoke to Heath's grandson. Heath died of natural causes.
Heath was the second of three jazz-musician brothers from Philadelphia, the eldest being bassist Percy and the youngest being drummer Albert "Tootie." (Their sister, Elizabeth, was a pianist.) Originally an altoist—he earned the nickname "Little Bird" from his small stature and the similarity between his alto tone and Charlie Parker's—Heath switched to tenor in the early 1950s and became known for his warm, bluesy, peppery sound on the instrument. He appeared on over 200 recordings, 17 of them as a leader and 11 as a member of the Heath Brothers with Percy and Albert. He was also a prolific composer and wrote several tunes that became jazz standards, among them "CTA," "For Minors Only," "Gemini," and "Gingerbread Boy."
Having come of age in the bop era—he broke through as a member of Dizzy Gillespie's big band in 1949, and had previously played in Philadelphia with a young John Coltrane and Benny Golson—Heath was a staunch exponent of bebop in its purest form and worked with most of its iconic figures (as he himself noted in the title of his 2010 autobiography, I Walked with Giants).
"All I can say is, if you know Jimmy Heath, you know bop," Gillespie, Heath's mentor, said.
For all his adherence to classic bebop, however, Heath, who also taught at Queens College for more than 20 years, remained enthusiastic about the music's constant development and potential. "It changes but it will never die," he told journalist Scott Thompson in 2016. "It's multicultural now. Every place I've been in this world, they seem to add their cultural influences. Jazz is wonderful, man! It's my life!"
James Edward Heath was born on October 25, 1926 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father, Percy Heath Sr., was an automotive mechanic and amateur clarinetist who played with a local Elks Club band; his mother, Arlethia, sang in the choir of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. He became interested in music at the age of six, when his mother took him to see a Duke Ellington concert. For Christmas of 1941—by which time Jimmy and Percy Jr. had gone to live with their grandparents in North Carolina—his father sent him a Conn alto saxophone. He began playing in the Williston High School Marching Band and recalled that he was almost immediately serious about playing music.
Physically slight, Heath was denied induction into the Armed Forces during World War II because he was below the weight requirement. Instead of going overseas, he went in late 1945 to Omaha, Nebraska, where he joined a territory band led by bassist Nat Towles. After eight months with Towles, he spoke to his brother Percy, who had served as a fighter pilot in Europe and returned to Philadelphia when the war ended. "He said, 'Well man, come on back because I heard this new music called bebop,'" he recalled in a 1986 interview. "And I said, 'Me too man, I heard Charlie Parker and I want to get into this.'"
Heath returned to Philadelphia and in 1947 formed a big band, which he patterned after Dizzy Gillespie's ensemble of the era. Among its personnel were trumpeters Cal Massey and Johnny Coles, pianist Ray Bryant, bassist Nelson Boyd, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, and alto saxophonist John Coltrane. While the band enjoyed some success in the city, Heath broke it up in 1949 when he got the call to join Gillespie's own band in New York.
Heath played with the Gillespie orchestra through its disbanding in 1950, at which time he began freelancing, changed to tenor saxophone to try to escape imitations of Charlie Parker, and worked more diligently at composition. He recorded "CTA," his first tune to become a standard, in a 1953 session with Miles Davis. He also became addicted to heroin, and in 1954 was arrested for selling it to fellow musicians. After a brief treatment at a prison hospital in Kentucky, he was released, but was arrested again in 1955 and incarcerated until 1959 at Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary in Pennsylvania.
In later years, Heath referred to his release from prison as "a rebirth." He stayed clean for the rest of his life; was able to rebuild his career quickly (though he had written and arranged an album for Chet Baker and Art Pepper from prison), replacing Coltrane in Miles Davis' band for a few weeks and making his own recording debut for Riverside Records that fall; and, at a welcome-home party his parents held for him, met Mona Brown, whom he would marry in 1960 and remain with for the next six decades, having two children.
Though he continued making occasional records of his own into the 1960s, meeting particular acclaim with his 1961 date The Quota and 1964's On the Trail (both for Riverside), he spent most of the decade and much of the early '70s as a sideman, especially with vibraphonist Milt Jackson and trumpeters Blue Mitchell and Art Farmer. Starting in 1973, he began working more regularly with his brothers, Percy and Tootie, with whom he'd worked (sporadically) in the past; by 1975, they had formed the Heath Brothers Band with pianist Stanley Cowell, which was an active touring and recording ensemble until 1982 and continued with less regularity until Percy's death in 2005. (At times the band also included Heath's son, percussionist James Mtume.)
In 1986, Heath joined the faculty of Queens College's Aaron Copland School of Music, remaining there for two decades and helping to establish its jazz studies program. This was not his first venture into teaching; he'd been a founding faculty member of Jazzmobile in 1964. But although he put great effort into his educational work, he also kept on recording and performing, often working as an arranger or at the head of his own bands. He premiered a symphonic work, "Three Ears," at Queens College in 1988. He was named an NEA Jazz Master in 2003 and published I Walked with Giants in 2010.
At the age of 90, Heath finally took a step back from his heavy performing activity, retiring to Loganville; however, he retained the apartment in Corona, Queens, where he'd lived since 1964, and continued writing for and leading a big band. In October 2016, he appeared at the helm of a 90th-birthday tribute at Jazz at Lincoln Center, "Jimmy Heath: Life of a Legend," with his big band and vocalist Roberta Gambarini.
"I'm going to do this until I leave," he said. "This is all I love."
Heath is survived by his brother Albert; his wife of nearly 60 years, Mona; his son James Mtume (from a previous relationship); his children with Mona, Jeffrey Heath and Roslyn Heath; and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Jimmy Heath looks back at his discography in a 2017 JazzTimes feature.

AOL may offer its full menu of services, including e-mail, at no cost to anyone with a high-speed Internet connection, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Thursday.
The Time Warner unit could be forsaking as much as US$2 billion in annual subscription fees in an attempt to drive more traffic — and hopefully more ad revenues — to its Internet properties, the Journal reported.
Under the new business model, AOL would no longer charge subscription fees for users with high-speed Internet access or dial-up service from another Internet Service Provider. Subscribers who have traditional AOL dial-up access, though, would still have to pay the monthly fee.
The High-Speed Drain
According to the newspaper report, AOL expects as many as 8 million of its existing paying dial-up customers would cancel their subscriptions to take advantage of the new offer. Close to one-third of the company's 18.6 million customer base already has high-speed access.
AOL is rapidly losing high-speed Internet access subscribers to other providers. The company reportedly lost 850,000 paying customers in the first quarter of 2006.
AOL has been attempting to plug the drain with various broadband initiatives. The company began providing its own broadband access in 2003. Last January, it started striking deals with telcos and cable operators to provide broadband access.
"Within the last six months or so AOL has charted a very changeable course through its various broadband offerings," JupiterResearch Analyst Joe Laszlo told the E-Commerce Times. "It definitely would be a big change for AOL. The change might confuse some of its customers."
No Turning Back
If AOL does decide to push its service to customers for free, it is a move the Internet pioneer would find difficult to reverse. Analysts agree that any company would find it virtually impossible to reinstitute fees after the fee wall comes down.
"It will be interesting to see if AOL keeps one or two services, like e-mail, behind a for-pay wall or if it literally makes everything ad-supported going forward," Laszlo speculated. "If I were AOL, I would probably lean toward the idea of maybe keeping e-mail addresses for a nominal fee."
Laszlo's reasoning is based on consumer value. Giving away the farm could devalue the brand in the eyes of consumers. Even Yahoo has a few premium services. AOL could take a page out of Yahoo's successful book.
"The online ad business is doing well these days. There are companies making viable businesses out of providing a full array of services, almost entirely for free. AOL could do worse things than emulate Yahoo's business," Laszlo said.
Record Ad Spending
Indeed, Internet advertising revenues reached a new record of $3.9 billion for the first quarter of 2006, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau. That figure represents a 38 percent increase over the first quarter 2005 at $2.8 billion and a 6 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2005 total at $3.6 billion.
"The Internet continues to shape the media landscape as more advertising dollars are going online," said Peter Petrusky, director of Advisory Services for PricewaterhouseCoopers. "It is abundantly clear that marketers are seeing a compelling opportunity to leverage the Internet as a powerful medium that drives both branding and sales results."
Whether or not AOL can turn its business around in this media landscape remains to be seen. AOL was not immediately available for comment.

The city of Paris, Texas is the county seat of Lamar County and has a large sign at the city's edge with the slogan, "Second Largest Paris in the World and a 65-foot replica of the Eiffel Tower. The town was founded by George Wright, a local merchant who donated fifty acres of land in 1844. It was incorporated by the Congress of the Republic of Texas in 1845. One of his employees was the person who came up with the name for the town. By the time of the Civil War, Paris had turned into an important cattle and farm center. Lamar was one of the minority of Texas towns and cities to vote against secession. Many of its men, however, served in the Confederate Army.

I can remember when I first entered high school, I had the complete wrong idea about what to expect. All of my knowledge was based on teen movies I used to watch with my older sister. Because my perspective of high school was so warped, I now feel it necessary to break these misconceptions about high school in general.
Now, most people between the ages of 13 and 18 have seen a teen movie in some shape or form. Whether it be 10 Things I Hate About You or Mean Girls, most teen movies have a similar theme. No matter how many different ways you spin it, the most intriguing notion about all these movies is that they depict the picture perfect idea of finding your true soul mate in your adolescent years.
High School myth #1: You will meet the love of your life while in high school.
It's a wonderful thought for most girls, having a super cute boyfriend all through high school and being the "it" couple. But in reality, the average high school relationship lasts about six months and most don't end peacefully. These movies are deceiving to most naïve girls because it leads them to think that their prince is waiting for them in the hallways. Unfortunately, this is not the case in almost all relationships. Sure it's fun for a while but then life gets in the way and it ends. The whole reason for high school relationships is basically to practice for relationships in the future. Any girl or guy who says they're "in love" and have found "the one" are clearly in a state of delusion. As high schoolers, we have not yet reached the maturity level to truly know what love is and how it feels. I've seen couple after couple declare their love for each other then two weeks later begin dating other people. Whether it's cheating or boredom, high school relationships end for all different reasons, as they should. I'm not saying that you shouldn't date while in high school, but I think it's pointless to claim that you're in love with someone when in a few months you might not even be speaking to that person.
My suggestion: date around, have fun and don't get too tied down. After all, you're only in high school once; you might as well make the most of it. Nobody wants to look back twenty years from now and wish they had done something differently.

Apple may face significant disruptions to its manufacturing supply chain as China continues to deal with the spread of the coronavirus, according to a recent report.
Bloomberg reported Tuesday that virtually all of the world's iPhones are made in China, primarily by Foxconn's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. at its so-called iPhone City in Zhengzhou, and by Pegatron Corp. at an assembly site near Shanghai.
While each of those locations is more than 300 miles from Wuhan in central China, the epicenter of the outbreak, these facilities may still feel the effects of the outbreak.
"I can't imagine a scenario where the supply chain isn't disrupted," industry analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy, told Bloomberg. "If there's one major hiccup in the raw materials, fabrication, assembly, test, and shipping, it will be a disruption."
Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities told the news service that Apple could be in trouble if employees across Foxconn and other component manufacturing hubs in China are physically restricted.
"If the China outbreak becomes more spread it could negatively impact the supply chain which would be a major investor worry," he said
Apple has roughly 10,000 direct employees in China, across its retail and corporate entities, according to Bloomberg. Its supply chain partners employ a few million more individuals whose job is to manufacture products including the iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch.
Foxconn said that it is monitoring the coronavirus situation and following all recommended health practices.
"We can confirm that we have measures in place to ensure that we can continue to meet all global manufacturing obligations," the company told Bloomberg.
Apple implemented a redundancy policy in 2011 requiring that major components be dual-sourced both in terms of geography and vendors, Bloomberg reported. The policy was put in place following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan.
But since the majority of its assembly work is done in China, Apple could experience a direct impact on shipments if there is a shortage of workers.
Chinese officials stated Tuesday that coronavirus deaths have now reached 106, with infections exceeding 4,500.
There have been five confirmed cases in the U.S.: two in California, one in Arizona, one in Illinois, and one in Washington state.

IIP Staff Writer

Rajiv Shah, administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, said he is optimistic about the future of Somalia.
"Today the Somalia government is attempting to build its own capacity and fight corruption to make sure that public finances are transparent and that public services are being delivered to their people," Shah said in a February 28 conference call with African reporters.
Shah said that during a visit to Mogadishu February 21, he met with Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon, Cabinet members, local governors, the mayor of Mogadishu and local leaders of civil society.
He became the highest-ranking U.S. government official to visit Somalia in more than 20 years. The purpose was to build on the Somali president's meeting with President Obama in Washington in January. Shah said Obama repeated "America's commitment to the Somali government and the Somali people as they hope and work to build a brighter future for themselves and all of Somalia."
During Shah's visit to Mogadishu, he announced an additional $20 million in support of Somalia's development.
"As we make these investments, we do them in a transparent, results-oriented way so Somalia can stand up its own capacity to govern itself and not require large amounts of humanitarian aid," Shah said.
He described some of the progress already being made as a result of the U.S. partnership with Somalia.
He said USAID worked with the mayor of Mogadishu to install dozens of solar-powered street lights in the capital city. He said that when he met the mayor and local partners, they told him that "people in Mogadishu came out to celebrate in the streets the first night that lights went on."
He also said that USAID is helping 400 communities build community development projects that range from support for the fishing industry in coastal communities to helping people who have been in displaced persons camps get access to seed, fertilizer and farm implements "so they can return to their communities and rebuild their communities and their agriculture and move themselves off of food aid."
He noted that Somalia has the longest coastline in Africa, and fishing holds great potential for the country's economic development, along with agriculture.
Those activities support "transition from dependency to dignity and self-sufficiency," he said.
Shah next will travel March 5–9 to Mumbai, India, and Rangoon and Naypyitaw, Burma. In Mumbai he will announce new programs and partnerships that will reduce preventable child deaths. He also will meet with senior government officials, members of India's private sector and representatives from civil society and deliver remarks at the Indian Philanthropy Forum and the Asia Society.
In Rangoon, Shah will highlight the progress USAID has made in establishing a partnership with Burma.

When doing an exterior remodel, your choice of house siding has big implications. The two most common forms we see at Custom Home Exteriors are vinyl siding and Hardie Board. Here we'll compare them side-by-side so that you can make an informed decision on which is best for you.
The Best Brands for Vinyl Siding
Before we go any further, I'll note that the features I'm describing for these products only go for the brands my company uses and trusts.
For fiber cement, our preferred choice is James Hardie® siding all the way.
As far as vinyl brands go, here are the manufacturers I recommend:
- Allside®
- Certainteed®
- Mastic®
- Royal®
Each of these brands uses the best materials and offer good warranties. Avoid buying siding from the big box stores. Their products are cheaper and chalkier, and their warranties are lower-grade.
Installation Cost
Vinyl exteriors are consistently cheaper to install than fiber cement, particularly compared to the top brands like hardie siding. On average, here's what you can expect:
- Vinyl siding – $5-8 per sf
- Hardiplank® – $11-13 per sf
Both vinyl and fiber cement siding are actually very durable. Each is resistant to rot, insects, and mold. Both are also flame retardant.
Some would say that vinyl exteriors have a reputation for being cheap, but in my opinion this is an outdated stigma. Vinyl siding today is made using virgin PVC resin, which is significantly more resistant to fading and storm damage. To illustrate the difference, vinyl manufactured 20 years ago came with SPF 15 protection, while today it comes with SPF 50.
However, Hardie plank is much thicker – .31 inches thick vs .043 inches. This makes it more durable overall and gives it higher resistance to storm and animal damage. Moreover, vinyl exterior can melt, while Hardiplank can't.
With proper maintenance, both home exterior options can last for decades. Depending on the climate, vinyl siding can last up to 40 years with proper maintenance. Hardie Board can last even longer, with estimates ranging up to 100 years depending on who you ask.
Hardiplank comes with a 50 year warranty, while the best vinyl manufacturers usually include a warranty of 25 years. However, in order to capitalize on these warranties, you will need to hire a VSI-certified installer who will follow all of the unique rules of each manufacturer.
Common Repair Needs
The most common repairs that we see for vinyl siding are related to melting. Many people make the mistake of turning on the grill next to the house. Under high heat, the material will melt. Other common repairs include hail and weed eater damage.
Hardiplank doesn't usually need as much repair, and it has higher durability overall. It's much thicker than vinyl, and its base ingredient is concrete rather than pvc resin. However, bear in mind that most fiber cement manufacturers also include an ingredient called fly ash in their mixture, which causes the plank to shrink up to a quarter of an inch within 6 months of installation. Hardie Board is the only fiber cement product that I've seen that doesn't shrink at all, which is one of the reasons why it's our top recommended fiber cement brand.
Exterior Painting
Both vinyl siding and fiber cement siding can be repainted. Typically vinyl comes with its color baked in. so you won't have to repaint it unless you want to.
Likewise, Hardiplank can also come pre-finished with its ColorPlus® technology. This baked-in color coat lasts longer than a typical paint job, is more resistant to fading, and has a more even finish. As the 2nd largest installer of ColorPlus in the country, we love this feature. However, Hardie siding is the only fiber cement product that comes with ColorPlus, so don't expect this advantage with other brands. It comes with a 15 year warranty covering maintenance for paint and peeling.
Maintenance Cost
Vinyl is much lighter than fiber cement, which makes it easier to replace if there is a problem. Fiber cement takes high precision tools and increased skill to replace, so the costs will be higher. Each of these exteriors can be power washed, and both should be at least once per year. Make sure a professional does this job, since power washing incorrectly can damage both materials.
Fiber cement has very little R value, which is the metric used to measure a substance's intrinsic insulation. For example, Hardie siding comes with an R value of .5, which means it offers very little insulation. In contrast, vinyl siding typically comes with an R value of .61, which is a small but noticeable difference.
However, each form of siding can be upgraded. Insulated versions of Hardiplank can have an R value as high as 4, while insulated versions of vinyl can go above 4.
So Which is Better Overall?
If your primary concern is affordability, then vinyl siding is probably what you want. It has a lower cost of installation and will be cheaper to repair. However, if you're more concerned with longevity and durability, Hardie Board is better for you.

This means that you and I have the mission: first, to assess what is the story that we have been carrying our whole life (write it down, you will be surprised what you will discover if you are doing it honestly). Second, determine if this story is what you really want your life/statement to the world to be or if it is just a "borrowed identity" that you found yourself in by default.
