WARNING: This post contains MAJOR Spoilers for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 premiere.
In the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 premiere, one of the team members is missing: Leo Fitz (Iain de Caestecker) – so we break down where he is. After an exciting fourth season of the flagship Marvel TV series, which included the introduction of Ghost Rider as well as the virtual reality called the Framework, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. heads to space in its season 5 premiere. Fans have speculated about what exactly the space setting will mean for Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet), and the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team, with some positing it would mark the debut of SWORD in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However, ever since Marvel TV and ABC began to promote the show's fifth season, we've learned more and more about what to expect from the series' latest outing. Although footage of the season 5 premiere left us with more questions about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. than answers, the premiere was bound to offer some insight into where the agents are in space. But, while the two-hour premiere offered viewers some answers about the majority of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team, there's still one member missing since Fitz wasn't in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 premiere. So where was he?
Related: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Recap
Well, as revealed at the end of the first hour of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s two-hour premiere, the majority of the team - Coulson, Daisy, Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), May (Ming-Na Wen), Mack (Henry Simmons), and Yo-Yo (Natalia Cordova-Buckley) - are trapped in the future after traveling through a Kree monolith. However, one member of the team wasn't abducted from the diner by the mysterious alien wearing a human skinsuit, and Daisy later confirms that teammate didn't go through the monolith with the rest of them. That teammate is, of course, Fitz. While we may not know exactly where Fitz is, we do know when he is. He's still in the present, the time period from which the rest of the team was abducted.
At the end of the first hour of the premiere, Mack discovers a message from Fitz on the back of the postcard the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents discovered on the "true believer" Virgil (Deniz Akdeniz). It reads, "Working on it. - Fitz" and indicates the missing S.H.I.E.L.D. agent knows where his teammates were sent, and is working on a way to bring them home. Of course, since we don't see Fitz at all during the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 premiere, we don't know where exactly he is or who he's working with - if anyone - to bring Coulson and the team home, but we can speculate.
At the end of season 4, the S.H.I.E.L.D. team was expecting to be arrested due to the public appearance of their conflict with the Life-Model Decoys, which included the body of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Jeffrey Mace being discovered without explanation after he died in the Framework. Since all the other most prominent remaining members of S.H.I.E.L.D. have suddenly disappeared, it seems unlikely Fitz would be able to rebuild the organization - or, since the others are gone, he actually has an easier time rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D. Still, it seems more likely Fitz is working with the aliens who sent Coulson and the rest of the team into the future. Since Fitz was the one to figure out a way to bring Simmons home after she previously traveled through a Kree monolith and wound up on Maveth, it may be that Fitz was purposely held him back to figure out a way to bring the team home.
Ultimately, there's very little we know for sure about Fitz's role in season 5. In the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. cast photos for this season, Fitz was shown with the rest of the team in some futuristic costume similar to the rest of the group. But after the premiere, we know he isn't in the future - yet. We also know that while he remained in the present, he was working on a way to get rest of the team home. Whether he's successful in doing so, or winds up sending himself to the future, remains to be seen as season 5 unfolds.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 continues next Friday at 9pm on ABC

Would you like to make a little more money?
or even become a manager of you own distribution team? well you can by selling my book in your country.
It is not as hard as you may think, Being a published Author i can buy my book in bulk with very big savings, i can then sell the books on to you much cheaper then you will ever get anywhere else. you can then sell my books to your local churches shops with my permission to allow yourself a profit on every book they sell, the more books you buy to sell the more profit, you can arrange for the church or store to sell the books on a "sale on return basis", another words you give them 10 or 20 books without them paying for them right away, this gives them the opportunity to use the profit of the sales until you return to restock the shelf and collect payment, then every week you go to the store and they pay you for all the books they have sold, so if they have sold 8 books they pay you for them books, and then you replace them books that has been sold with 8 more new books and you do this to every store and church. You can do this just to make a small amount to help you with your income, all buy loads of books to sell in loads of store`s to make loads of profit. you could even sell the books with permission at Libera concerts, You may even like to have people do all the work for you, Manage people to do the sales and collection of the money for the books for you. Either way this is an opportunity for you to spread the word about Libera`s music and do not forget to send Libera a voluntary donation as a thank you if you wish.
So what is the Legal stuff, well different country`s have different Laws on self employment and Taxes. you will have to find out what if anything you would need to pay to your tax office in your country.
As an example people in the UK can earn up to a certain amount with out having to declare it to the tax office, however anyone on benefits have to declare any money they make. It all depends on your situation.
For more information please leave a message below and i will contact you at the email address you give me or send me a personal email to: [email protected]o.uk

The auctioneers Sotheby's have called it 'the most significant musical manuscript ever to have been offered at auction' and today the handwritten manuscript of Mahler's Second Symphony was sold for a record price of £4,546,250.
The manuscript was offered for sale by the estate of the late Gilbert Kaplan who died in January. For Kaplan, the Second Symphony was his life's great passion. He conducted the work with many of the world's leading symphony orchestras and recorded it twice, first with the LSO in 1987, second with the Vienna Philharmonic in 2002, before making a recording of a version for chamber orchestra (arranged by himself) with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra in 2014.
Simon Maguire of Sotheby's said: 'No complete symphony by Mahler, written in the composer's own hand, has ever been offered at auction, and probably none will be offered again.'

If you are looking forward to a spring destination wedding this year, you are probably smack in the middle of planning. From coordinating travel to locking in the venue and picking music and caterers -- it can sometimes be overwhelming to make such large-scale decisions from far away. Your wedding flower is one of the last decisions that should be made in the process, and should be chosen after dress, hairstyle, and general aesthetic. The secret to picking the perfect spring wedding flower is to choose a varietal that's unique to you and your personality. That said, there are a few flowers that just scream 'spring,' and will look stunning at a beachside wedding!
Lily of the Valley: Since these flowers bloom during April and May, they are an uncommon pick amongst brides. This varietal has a distinctive and pleasing aroma. The one downside is that depending on your destination wedding location, they may be relatively difficult to find.
Gerberas (Gerber Daisies): This spring flower is beautiful by itself, and can also be stunning paired with other varietals like tulips or roses when creating your bridal bouquet. You could also mix different colored gerberas in one bouquet or centerpiece.

Thanks Katy! A Great set of Questions!
I attempt to have some sort of plan, but usually it just happens to be whatever's clean and office appropriate. I also use my new stylit (see #2).
2. Do you plan outfits out in advance for a whole week, month,
I bought myself a Stylit (love!) for the new year as a planner so I try to plan out my outfits for work the weekbefore... unfortunately though, I don't always take into account the weather or what's actually clean, so it usually deviates from the original plan. That being said, I like having a vague idea of what I'll be putting on, even if it is just one item I end up using, or using an idea from later in the week.
the famed "stylit"
3. Do you have any specific way of tracking outfits and items already
worn so you don't repeat?
Not anything special really. just what I've already mentioned. And I don't so much mind repeats. Some outfits are just tried, tested and true.... but I won't bore you with the outfit photos from those days!
4. How do you discover new combinations of items in your closet?
(Trial try-ons? Hanging items together?)
This is something I actually have trouble doing. My closet hangs by "category" (tops together, bottoms together, dresses together, etc.) so new combinations don't just pop out at me... I have SO MUCH in there that I often forget what's hidden in the abyss. I've actually started a spreadsheet with the different categories & colors so I can come up with combinations that way (i'm neurotic, i know) but so far it's a work in progress.
5. To streamline the process for 2011 what is one new thing you can do
to cut down your dressing time?
Try things on on the weekend I guess? But now that I only have one day off a week I don't see that happening. As much as I'd love to cut down on time, I'm a realist, and that just ain't gonna happen!

Working Capital Management
Chapter Two: Working Capital Management
The term working
capital refers to the amount of capital which is readily available to an organisation. That is, working capital is the difference
between resources in cash or readily convertible into cash (Current Assets) and organisational commitments for which cash
will soon be required (Current Liabilities).
Current Assets
are resources which are in cash or will soon be converted into cash in "the ordinary course of business".
Current Liabilities
are commitments which will soon require cash settlement in "the ordinary course of business".
In a department's
Statement of Financial Position, these components of working capital are reported under the following headings:
Current Assets
Liquid Assets (cash and bank deposits)
Debtors and Receivables
Current Liabilities
Bank Overdraft
Creditors and Payables
Other Short Term Liabilities
Working capital
constitutes part of the Crown's investment in a department. Associated with this is an opportunity cost to the Crown. (Money
invested in one area may "cost" opportunities for investment in other areas.) If a department is operating with more working
capital than is necessary, this over-investment represents an unnecessary cost to the Crown.
From a department's
point of view, excess working capital means operating inefficiencies. In addition, unnecessary working capital increases the
amount of the capital charge which departments are required to meet from 1 July 1991.
The objective
of working capital management is to maintain the optimum balance of each of the working capital components. This includes
making sure that funds are held as cash in bank deposits for as long as and in the largest amounts possible, thereby maximising
the interest earned. However, such cash may more appropriately be "invested" in other assets or in reducing other liabilities.
Working capital
management takes place on two levels:
Ratio analysis can be used to monitor
overall trends in working capital and to identify areas requiring closer management (see Chapter Three).
The individual components of working
capital can be effectively managed by using various techniques and strategies (see Chapter Four).
When considering
these techniques and strategies, departments need to recognise that each department has a unique mix of working capital components.
The emphasis that needs to be placed on each component varies according to department. For example, some departments have
significant inventory levels; others have little if any inventory.
Furthermore, working
capital management is not an end in itself. It is an integral part of the department's overall management. The needs of efficient
working capital management must be considered in relation to other aspects of the department's financial and non-financial

The co-operation with the Ensemble Intercontemporain worked well for both sides for the publicity aspect, but not for building a good relationship. Some members had expected arranged pop music and doubted whether Zappa could write scores himself. The atmosphere changed to the bad when the ensemble found itself sweating on the compositions and Zappa demanded perfection, sending away musicians that weren't performing up to his standards. The European continental world of modern music used to be full of intellectualism and leftism. It only survived on government subsidies. In 2001 Karl-Heinz Stockhausen was videotaped calling the September 11th attack a masterpiece of art. Flirting with communism was fashionable among European intellectuals during the seventies and the death rates under Mao and Pol Pot only became better known in the nineties.
1. The perfect stranger
The piece that Pierre Boulez originally commissioned and got the project going.
It follows directly upon the material on "The LSO Vol. I", stylistically and in orchestration. It's
more loosely constructed than the LSO pieces and Zappa left his drumset home this time.
In October 2011 The Doelenensemble played some pieces from "The perfect stranger",
including the title track. To the left you can see them during their concert at The Doelen, a concert hall in
the city of Rotterdam, Holland. The scores are today only for rent for public performances. A flash file on Youtube
makes a transcription much easier, because one now has the opportunity to follow their conductor. The following is 1:18-1:40 from their
performance, that corresponds with 1:02-1:21 on the Boulez album (the time difference is due to an opening pause).
Again there are version differences, as happens more often in Zappa's output. Because I don't have
the original score, I can't tell what causes it. There might very well be different versions of the score itself,
because there are various examples of Zappa revising his compositions.
If this is not the case then either
during the Boulez recordings adaptations were made or during the Doelenensemble rehearsals. It's theoretically also possible that Zappa edited the tape
in his studio after it got recorded. The CD I have carries the edition number Rykodisc RCD 10542, referring to a master tape, approved by Zappa in 1993. In the Boulez version the irregular
groupings within a 9/8 meter may look awkward, but it's something Zappa could do, also for his rock band (see the second "Drowning witch"
example with the figure for "she could mutate insanely").
The perfect stranger, 1:22-1:40 (Doelenensemble) (midi file).
The perfect stranger, 1:02-1:21 (Boulez conducts Zappa) (midi file).
The perfect stranger, fragment (transcription).
The differences to be heard in the Doelenensemble version are:
- Preliminary notes: 4:5 eight notes become a regular intro, lasting 3/4.
- Bar 1: the 4:5 eight notes become 4:3 quarter notes. The meter of bar 1 thus becomes 5/4.
- Bar 3: the 5:4 eight notes become 4:3 quarter notes followed by a dotted eighth note. The first note of the ninetuplet gets into the 4th beat followed by normal 16th notes. Bar 3 then lasts 6/4.
The picture you're getting is clear: "The perfect stranger" is an outspoken atonal composition with various forms of irregular groupings. Everybody is playing the same rhythm, thus you're creating a series of chords made up of three parts: the descant in the first two staffs, a part in the middle (staff 3) and a bass part (bottom staff).
With the original scores unavailable to the general public, reproduced sections in studies can be helpfull. In this case "The perfect stranger" gets ample attention in two academic studies. These are the ones by Martin Herraiz (H.) and Brett Clement (Cl.). See the references in the left menu for the details. Their analyses deal with the thematic construction of these pieces, but mostly with the formation of harmonies. An attempt is done to identify several chords as being part of a so-called chord bible, a set of preferred chords Zappa appears to have used around this time for his orchestral works (this chord bible is unpublished, so its content is not really my business; otherwise see the 2009 study by Clement, or my left menu, Lydian theory, chapter V). Combined these two studies offer enough examples from the original score to get a reasonable estimation of "The perfect stranger". Thus it can be seen that the score knows two movements. On the Perfect stranger CD the transition, happening at 3:50, is not perceptible: there is no pause taken, or any clear change for that matter. Strange, because the audible ceasure at 10:14 (bar 213) apparently does not coincide with a new movement.
The reproduced examples cover:
Movement 1
- Excerpts: bars 5-17, 43-46 and 48-51 (Cl.).
- Chords: bar 37 (Cl.).
- Lead melody, with chords indications: bars 52-62, 65, 71-77 and 79-85 (H.).
- Reduction: bars 79-85 (H.).
My first example from above can be found half way between bars 17 and 43.
Movement 2
- Excerpts: bars 1-8, 16-20, 21-25 and 56-60 (Cl.).
- Lead melody: bars 17-32, 48-70, 71-78, 199-222 and 234 (H.).
- Harmony, reduced: bars 48-77 and 215-217 (H.).
- Reduction: bars 221-226 (H.).
Brett for instance notices thematic variations over a distance, like I did in the L.S.O. section with "Mo 'n Herb's vacation". On page 229 of his study he describes what he calls the main theme from "The perfect stranger", a melody of 12 notes, first occurring during bars 8 through 16 of movement I (not a 12-note serial string to avoid any confusion). These concern bars 8-17 (see below), his example 5.38a. Further below on the same page he continues with: "now consider Example 5.38b, the second statement of the theme in "The Perfect Stranger I." Here, the melody appears in isomelic variation, with the first three pitches transposed by T2.". His example 5.38b are bars 43-46. Isomelism is a term he's using for a rhythmic variation, where the pitches of the melody are kept the same, or transposed only (the word isomelism is academic Greek for "same melody"). T2 stands for a transposition with a major second. On page 231 Brett continues with "[...] the fourth, and final, statement of the theme in "The Perfect Stranger," occurring at m. 199 of "The Perfect Stranger II." This final statement initiates a huge isomelic restatement of the previously discussed mm. 16–78, which plays out until the close of the piece. Here, however, the theme is returned to its initial pitch level (beginning on F, as in Example 5.38a)."
These examples seem to corroborate that there are version differences between the first Boulez recording and the score distributed today. The examples by Brett of bars 5-17 include the clarinet and the string section. He doesn't explicitely say if his examples are the complete score or not and obviously they aren't. Even so differences can be noticed, also for the string section. First of all there are tempo changes needed to get it synchronous with the CD. Bars 5-6 last as long as bar 7, a bit puzzling. So either Zappa prescribed a change to half tempo, or it's a serious version difference. There are also little differences to be heard in the lead melody (staffs 4-5 in my example). In bar 8 there you've got two extra notes being played. In bar 9 an A natural is played instead of an A flat. Because of these differences it can't be taken for granted that all of the analyses by Martin and Brett (based upon the today available score) apply to the Boulez version as well. Both talk about the Boulez recording as if this is the identical piece.

The perfect stranger, bars 5-10 (Boulez conducts Zappa), transcription.
The perfect stranger I, bars 5-17 and 43-46, plus The perfect stranger II, bars 199-212 (score)
Something you can also notice is the high degree of syncopism. Zappa willingly avoided any perception of steady rhythms within this piece, with downbeats only happening half of the time, something which may explain why irritations grew during the recording sessions with the Ensemble Intercontemporain. Zappa's music requires a perfect understanding of timing, which, in case of a larger group of musicians playing together, can be demanding without much rehearsing time.
2. Naval aviation in art? - Jeff and Don
A large sequence, moving motifs over a changing chord texture. As with more of Zappa's works it's a one time only type of composition, adagio all through and
dealing intensely with harmonies. Quite uncharacteristic for Zappa.
The origins of "Naval aviation in art?" must lie before 1971, because elements of this composition
were used as background music for "200 Motels" (see below at "Jeff and Don").
To the left right an outtake from a photo by Guido Harari with Zappa lying on top of his scores, around 1982.
"Naval aviation in art?" is an exceptional work in Zappa's output, because it's specifically dealing with instrumentation all through this composition. The central element are sustained notes, that every few bars change position via a string of (mostly) 32nd notes (staves 1-2 of the "Orchestral favorites" example and and staves 6-7 of the "The perfect stranger" example). These notes are called the melodic notes in the tables below. It can be seen as a huge sequence. The other parts hardly play melodic lines, but harmonize this sequence via single notes coming up and disappearing again. The wealth of atonal chords and sound combinations is amazing. When Zappa wrote for orchestras, larger ensembles or jazz big bands, it always sounds thus natural as if he had been doing so all of his life. The actual number of instances that he could work in this way are relatively few. His financial means grew through the years, but there's no real juvenile and mature Zappa. He could step into things straight ahead.

According to Gail Zappa "Naval aviation in art?" stems from the "200 Motels" period, with the title taken over from a magazine photo featuring navy employees in a specific line-up (liner notes from the "Greggery Peccary & other persuasions" CD by the Ensemble Modern). It first appeared on "Orchestral favorites" and got recorded again for "The perfect stranger" in a much different version. The first thing that's directly noticable is the tempo difference. Bars 1-12 from above last 27 seconds on "Orchestral favorites" and 47 seconds on "The perfect stranger". Other differences are numerous. "Orchestral favorites" begins with a pick-up bar with 32nd notes and a 16th note by the flutes (two flutes are used for the stereo field). The 32 seconds notes in bar 1 and 3 are by a single violin, thus no clarinets, and played an octave higher than the viola on "The perfect stranger". The 32 seconds notes by the flutes are present again in bar 4 with no comparable notes on "The perfect stranger". The harmony notes from bar 6 onwards are played by different instruments, etcetera.
1979 version:
Bar number Melodic notes Harmony notes
- Bar 1 Ab, D#
- Bar 2 Ab, D#, B
- Bar 3 A, D#, B
- Bar 4 A, D#, E
- Bar 5 Ab, D#, E
- Bar 6 Ab, D#, B F, E, C#, D
- Bar 7 A, D#, B F, E, C#, G, C, D
1984 version:
Bar number Melodic notes Harmony notes
- Bar 1 Ab
- Bar 2 Ab, B, D#
- Bar 3 A, B, D#
- Bar 4 A, E, D#
- Bar 5 Ab, E, D#
- Bar 6 Ab, B, D# E, C#, D, C, F#
- Bar 7 A, B, D# F, E, C#, D, C, F#, G
- Bar 8 A, E, D# F, E, C#, D, C, F#, G
- Bar 9 Bb, E, D# F, C#, D
- Bar 10 Bb, D, E, C# F, G, C#, D, C
- Bar 11 B, D, E, C# F, G, Bb, C, B
- Bar 12 B, F, G, E A, G, C, B
Both versions begin calmly with three notes sounding for bars 1-5. From bar 6 onwards things are getting dense. The number of notes sounding in combination varies between 6 and 10. In bar 7 from the 1984 version you're approaching the whole chromatic scale being played at once. It is to be noted that Zappa little doubles the parts. Most instruments play their own notes. The permanently changing instrumentation, combined with the extensive use of dynamics, makes that the composition remains transparant.
This piece gets dealt with extensively in the Martin Harraiz study, pages 211-227 (see the literature section). It begins with noting that this piece is indeed exceptional in Zappa's output: ""Naval aviation in art" is an atypical work of Zappa. By this we mean that most of the more or less general principles observed thus far are not present in this work: there is no particular 'melodic line', nor are the striking rhythms present, that are often speech influenced and dense. It not only contradicts his compositions for orchestras but for virtually any medium." So Martin doesn't interpret it as a sequence as I did above, but also takes the notes I indicated as melodic as to be seen as just sustained notes. This study is in Portuguese, so it's translated here with some liberty.

Next the origins of this work and its different versions get commented upon, starting with: "Like most pieces of Zappa, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact date when this work was composed: its first version is best known as a recording from 1975 (included in Orchestral favorites album, released in 1979), but could already be heard, much larger in instrumentation, as background music in a dialogue in the movie 200 Motels (1971). A catalogue of the 1990s by the publisher Boosey & Hawkes brings information about a version of the piece for large orchestra, probably the same that was used in the film (composed in the late 1960s, therefore, but already carrying the final title)." The analysis in the Herraiz study begins with the initial bars from "The perfect stranger" (as presented above): "The main elements that go to constitute the entire piece are presented already in this initial fragment. Its texture can be schematically described as consisting of three layers. The third layer, which begins to act only in bar 6, consists basically of long notes, sustained, generally by several measures, whose points of entry and exit not follow any apparent pattern. The first two layers however (which correspond respectively with staffs 8-9 and staffs 6-7, overlapping homophonically, represented in this excerpt by starting with two clarinets and two violas), behave clearly more regular and 'predictable'." The first two layers are then the ones I called "melodic" and the third layer are my harmony notes. Above a 2018 sceenshot with the Ensemble Intercontemporain.
As indicated in the http://globalia.net/donlope/fz site there's a section from "Naval aviation in art?" audible in the movie version of "200 Motels", the conversation part between Rance Muhammitz and Jimmy Carl Black, that follows upon "Lonesome cowboy Burt". Zappa's original handwritten score for "200 Motels" calls the corresponding scene "Jeff and Don", according to the sample below intended to be played in a fake night club as scoring unit #2 (much of the script couldn't actually get filmed as planned).
Opening page of "Jeff and Don". Part of the "200 Motels scores" as auctioned at Heritage Auctions (2019).
Jeff and Don, bars 1-18 (midi file).
When you compare this score with the two examples from above, it turns out that in 1984 Zappa returned to the original score and that the 1975 version is a revised version. Bars 1-12 are present in both examples, with the differences being marginal. E.g. the F by the tuba enters in bar 6 in "Jeff and Don", while it first appears in bar 7 in the 1984 score. Another difference is the fact that all the fast notes strings, that precede the chord changes, were notated as grace notes in the orginal score. In the 1984 score they've become 32nd notes. More doable and more effective, I think, if you want the hear the harmonies they form accurately performed.
Because Zappa notated metronome numbers on his scores, the intended duration of the example above can be calculated. 54 quarter notes per minute on this occasion. 18 bars in 3/4 is equal to 54 quarter notes, so it lasts a minute, indeed slow.
3. The girl in the magnesium dress
In the Guitar Player special issue Zappa! of 1992, Zappa explained the origins of "The girl in the magnesium dress":
"The piece was made from Synclavier digital dust ... [explains the existence of this dust as
G numbers, inaudible musical parameter data]. So
we converted this dust into something I could then edit for pitch, and the dust
indicated a rhythm. So what I did was take the rhythm of the dust and impose
pitch data on the dust and thereby move the inaudible G number into the world
of audibility with a pitch name on it".
Originally the piece went directly from the synclavier onto the tapes for the album. Later on the scores were printed, reworked upon and orchestrated. In 1993 the Ensemble Modern opted for inclusion of the piece for their concert program. The piece moves around between relative ease and, if you ask me, complete irregularity. Zappa prescribes a constant high tempo. Bars 48 and 97 below are two opposite sides of the piece.
The girl in the magnesium dress, bar 48 (1993 CD: 1:55 till 1:58) (midi file).
The girl in the magnesium dress, bar 97 (1993 CD: 3:56 till 3:59) (midi file).
The girl in the magnesium dress, bars 48 and 97 (notes)
Bar 48 is relaxed, as good as following a scale. The E first jumps with octaves and then the E chord is formed. Octave jumps and repeating notes return frequently in the score. Bar 97 at the end of the piece is the opposite, a total frenzy, deliberately irregular. Zappa thought of the piece as unfit for human performance, but the Ensemble Modern preferred to proceed. To make it performable changes were made during rehearsals, in bar 97 for instance notes were skipped.
Bars 1-7 from the piano part of The girl in the magnesium dress as reproduced in Zappa!, page 66.
4. Outside now again
Here Zappa typed in an improvisation over one of his favorite vamps. It goes much as a guitar solo,
though there are some differences. First there are no dynamics per note, the dynamics are here achieved via doubling parts
in different staffs. Secondly - I can't say this for certain - I have the impression that at this point the synclavier
could only perform triplets as an irregular grouping. It is for sure that that would change drastically later on. See
"Get whitey" for an example of what the synclavier ultimately could do in the nineties.
Outside now again, 1:26 till 1:49 (midi file).
Outside now again, 1:26 till 1:49 (transcription).
Eventually the "Outside now" vamp became used for five different solos. Compared to the "Joe's garage" version of "Outside now", it's notable that the Bb-C alternation in the bass isn't present. It makes it difficult for this version to determine what the keynote is. It's kind of floating. In his response to me, Brett Clement calls it D Aeolian. If you have to pick a tonic, the sustained D is indeed the only option.
5. Love story
On side two of the original vinyl album the accent shifted towards the synclavier. "Love story" is a short and energetic synclavier composition.
In the CD booklet Zappa describes the seven pieces from "The perfect stranger" as dance pieces, each with a story and built-in sound effects.
Sometimes recognizable but mostly absurdistic. In this case this piece would represent "an elderly Republican couple attempting sex while break-dancing".
Pierre Boulez has followed a triple career in music. He is best known as conductor of the modern classics from Wagner onwards. Secondly he was the driving force behind the Paris IRCAM institute for exploring modern music, to which the Ensemble Intercontemporain belonged. Thirdly he is a composer himself. Zappa for instance was well familiar with Boulez' composition "Le marteau sans maître" (photo downloaded, source unknown). He and Zappa would meet more often, but till his death he preferred not to comment on the quality of Zappa's music. The tensions during the recording sessions apparently had taken their toll. Otherwise this attitude is peculiar compared to what's happening on the album. Still you can find reviews by people who can't accept the idea that a rock star could ever reach the level of their admired serious modern composers.
6. Dupree's paradise (1984)
The theme from the piece was first used in the seventies to set off soloing of the
group members. Here it has become an elaborate composition.
"Dupree's paradise" today exists in three quite different versions in Zappa's catalogue. The theme was first used for the 1974 tour to introduce a large experimental improvisation block for the group members. See the YCDTOSA II section for a detailed description of this "Dupree's paradise" (1974) performance. The 1984 execution only overlaps with the 1974 score for what I call phrases 1 and 2 in that section. In 1988 it returned for incorporating a trumpet solo over a vamp, followed by synclavier-rock band "jazz noise". In the version presented to the Ensemble Intercontemporain it's an 8 minutes piece composed all through without any improvisation. An exciting masterpiece mixing diatonic and atonal material as presented in the following two examples.
Dupree's paradise, opening bars 5-13 (midi file).
Dupree's paradise, bars 167-184 (3:45 till 4:11) (midi file).
Dupree's paradise, bars 5-13 (notes).
Dupree's paradise, bars 167-184 (notes).
The first contains bars from the opening with varying meters. It's played over E pedal and follows the E Lydian scale. The other stems from the middle section with two pianos playing in straight 3/4 over a bass counterpoint line. Here it's all atonal. The movement is a sort of chromatic dance in a waltz meter, full of second intervals where the larger intervals serve to keep repositioning the tiny seconds phrases.
Bars 175-182 from Dupree's paradise as reproduced in the Ludwig study.
7. Jonestown
Right after Zappa obtained a synclavier, he started using if for both note entry and the construction of sound collages. "Jonestown" is an early
one, described by Zappa himself as an ugly dance evoking the essential nature of all religions.
These sound collages became ever more elaborate and eventually a form of art by themselves on "Civilization phaze III" and "Dance me this". As I'm describing in the Baby snakes and Civilization phaze III sections, it's difficult to approach sound collages in the shape of sheet music in a normal way. Theoretically it can be done, but I doubt how much wiser you might be getting from it. The problem lies in sounds, that aren't constant, and the improvised duration lengths of notes. See for instance the shifting sounds of only three bars from "Basement music #2", that I've tried visualize in the Baby snakes section. The meters and rhythms of collages are or can be chosen at will, so on paper they can be only approached and they will look weird when you want to obtain some degree of accuracy.

Fourth Edition
Learning Outcomes
• Identify their preference for one of 4 personal influence styles: Passive, Assertive, Openly Aggressive, or Passively Aggressive
• Learn why assertive behaviour is the one style that always yields positive results
• Understand how other influence styles can hamper interpersonal communication
• Discover the behavioural cues that signal each style
The III was developed to help individuals assess their interpersonal influence style. The model upon which the inventory statements are based is an assertive behaviour model. This model suggests that 2 sets of behaviours create 4 behavioural mixes. One set of behaviour is related to an individual's degree of openness or candor. Another set of behaviours is related to an individual's degree of consideration for another or others.
When an individual employs these two sets of behaviours in varying proportions, an influence style is created. Depending on the relative use of each set of behaviours, 1of 4 influence patterns results.
How It Works
Presented with 40 statements, individuals choose 1 of 5 responses that they feel is most characteristic of their behaviour, as they perceive it. Each set of statements measures influence style by focusing on the 4 indicators: thoughts, emotions, nonverbal behaviour, and verbal behaviour.
Uses for the III
The III is a useful instrument for many training purposes. Use it as a stand-alone instrument or as part of a larger training initiative. It's also helpful as an objective, non-threatening means of diagnosing interpersonal tensions within groups. Other appropriate uses include:
Negotiation: The III can show negotiators the attitudes and behaviors they take to the negotiating session and enlighten them as to how assertive styles of influence can produce win-win results.
Leadership Skills Training: The III can help managers discover how they influence others and how assertive styles of influence can elicit more positive reactions to their visions and engender more productive and satisfied workers.
Communication Skills Training: The III can help workers at all levels become aware of how they communicate with others. It can also show them how assertive behavior will help get their messages across clearly and directly and improve communication flow in general.

Diode and Diode Pumped Frequency Doubled Solid State 532 / 940 nm
The VariLite™ is the complete laser solution available for the treatment of vascular, pigmented and cutaneous lesions. The VariLite™ is a solid-state, semiconductor-based laser system that offers reliability, true portability, efficient operation and clinical versatility. The user friendly controls guide the physician through the control panel for treatment parameter selection and allow easy toggling between wavelengths with a simple switch adjustment. The dual wavelength options offer 532 nm and 940 nm wavelengths so the most appropriate treatment parameters can be easily selected to meet your clinical needs.
The ergonomic, low weight fiber handpieces allow precise control of the treatment location and are ideal for tracing linear and area lesions.
The 532 nm wavelength can also be used with the ScanLiteXP™ to perform MicroSpot laser facials. This is an excellent treatment option for rosacea, matted telangiectasia and complexion blending treatments.
The 940 nm wavelength is less strongly absorbed by water and can penetrate more deeply to uniformly heat through larger diameter vessels. Due to its high absorption coefficient of oxyhemoglobin and lower absorption by water, the 940 nm wavelength can be used for improved selectivity of the deeper vessels and reduce the discomfort noted with longer wavelength modalities.
Vascular lesions
- Telangiectasia, matted
- Rosacea
- Leg veins
- Angioma, spider angioma
- Hemangioma
- Venous Lake
- Poikiloderma of Civatte
Benign pigmented lesions
- Lentigines
- Age spots
- Liver spots
- Freckles
- Cafe-au-lait
- Becker's nevi
Cutaneous lesions
Moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris
Hair reduction
- The ScanLiteXP™ Computer Pattern Generator is an optional delivery device for the VariLite™ that allow rapid delivery of MicroSpot exposures with controlled spacing over large treatment areas.
- The ergonomic handpieces can be used with both the 532 and 940 nm wavelengths.
- ClearView™ Polarized Light Illumination System is an all-in-one solution to eye safety, magnified vision and cross polarization illumination during laser treatments.

July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month and I'm so glad such a taboo topic in POC spaces is being talked about.
I learned through Instagram that it's the 10-year anniversary of the US House of Representatives announcing July as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month (they announced it in May 2008).
Right before July, I came across Jas and Jam's latest podcast episode on (and titled) Mental Illness.
It's definitely worth listening to no matter where your mental health falls–they're VERY passionate and well-versed on the topic. Unfortunately due to experience.
TW: Self-harm, sexual abuse, eating disorders, etc. are mentioned in this podcast.
This is a great resource to bookmark for whenever you need it. July and beyond.

God Save The Queen #1
Wildcard's Word
Och, there's narry a place more dear in me wee heart than the home of the highlands. Glorious Scotland. Kilts and haggis. Whiskey and Robert Burns. The opening ceremony was entertaining enough, but I wish there'd been more unabashed Glaswegian culture. Instead they went for a celebration of the Commonwealth and the spreading of that Common Wealth to the less fortunate. I sent my charity text to UNICEF and everything (How could I say no to the one-two punch of young Obi-Wan Kenobi and the guy from The Last King of Scotland?) so I'm not against the charitable stuff. I just wanted to see more bagpipes and drunk people, really.
I did have a funny thought during the ceremony though. Imagine if Scotland used this occasion to announce their independence? How amazing would that be! The secrecy involved, then the massive impact of a call like that. Plus the punk rock attitude it'd take to do that - the massive one finger salute to Her Royal Majesty (God save her, though). Obviously that wasn't gonna happen. Especially not at a Games held to celebrate the unity of the Commonwealth nations. But it's not like the term 'Commonwealth' has been entirely literal, now has it? England treated most of these countries like trash for years, now we get together every four years or so to celebrate the oppression. I love the Comm Games, so I'm willing to overlook the centuries of violence and persecution that occurred between the Scottish-English border if Val Adams can bag another gold. And sport and politics are better separate. Still, there's a referendum in September. Give Scotland to the Scottish, I say.
Other takeaways from the first 24 hours of stuff? I was waiting a long time for Billy Connolly to show up, which he eventually did in a pre-recorded segment. No sightings of Sir Alex Ferguson though. And boy, didn't the Queen look stroppy when those fellas got stuck with her little message in the baton. Her Majesty was not amused. The triathlon wasn't worth staying up for, but our cycling team looks red hot. Plus I snuck in some hockey viewing, a little squash and some weightlifting with a bunch of tiny Sri Lankans and Malaysians. How many people watching this stuff have at some point had the thought: 'Huh, I didn't know that country was in the Commonwealth?' Yeah, same here.
Mystery Doc's Word
Ah man, after enduring the World Cup and the freaky deaky time differences and what not, we've not got the Commonwealth Games ... in Glasgow. Pretty much the same deal except I'm in the land of the Dingo so any Com Games coverage in the media has absolutely no Kiwiana in it ... a shame, for me but what do you expect with Aussies.
So imagine my pleasure waking up to find that we had already won a few medals, is it just me or is one of the first times we've kinda exploded on to the medal table after day 1!? A gold and 2 bronze medals ya say?? Well I'll take that any day of the week let alone a Friday. We've always had gun cyclists so it seems like some sort of medal, especially in the valedrome is a near given and to cap it off .... the sprint team beat England in the gold medal race! England, not much better.
It was a reasonable day 1 all round, obviously with the medals but also the likes of Andrea Hewitt battling away for a solid 4th in the triathlon. We should definitely be proud of that. I like hockey so was pretty pleased to see the Black Sticks men get the bickies over Canada. The Canadians are a tricky crop of hockey players who could trouble a few teams who aren't 100% but the Kiwis will be happy to fight through the tough times and come out with a key win in pool play.
Anyway, it's just awesome seeing a variety of sports and a variety of nations competing. In fact the variety of people, there's the elite athletes who cash checks with their physical talents as well as the athletes who kick a 9-5 and then compete at the Com Games. That's the beauty of it, at a time when there's so much bullshit happening in the world we can unite under the banner of sports ... I mean the Commonwealth, I mean the King, wait there's a Queen aye?
Best of Social Media
Hey Look It's Jason Statham!
Competing at the 1990 Comm Games in Auckland! As a diver! He didn't do very well though:
Kiwi Cycling Team – Things are looking up, up, up. The men's pursuit team claimed bronze for NZ's first medal, and soon after we had a gold courtesy of the kiwi sprint team (who kept form after winning the world champs in February). Plus all three kiwi individual sprint cyclists cruised through to the finals tonight. In fact both Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins broke commonwealth records on the way (Aussie Matthew Glaetzer subsequently taking the record himself).
Darcina-Rose Manuel – If you'd never heard of her 24 hours ago you wouldn't be alone. But this 21 year old Judo exponent bounced back after losing her first bout to win three on the trot and claim the bronze medal over Canadian Jessica Klimkait. Chur.
Mo Farah – One of England's biggest names, and a hero of London 2012, Mo Farah won't be seen in Glasgow as an abdominal injury/illness has led him to pull out. Not only is Mo the Olympic 5000m and 10000m champion, but he's just a really cool guy, and it's a shame he won't be there. Having said that, Nick Willis is planning on racing the 5000m, so yeah.
NZ Triathletes – It was hoped that this would be where our first medals came from, but a valiant Andrea Hewitt couldn't quite hold the pace, despite keeping with the lead pack for most of the race, finishing fourth in the end. The men were more disappointing with Tony Dodds the best of our lot in 10th place in a stacked race.

Lately, an appropriate open door missed can make any individual lament his fortunes for a lifetime. To have a sharp personality, to be lively, it is required that the human body ought to be kept physically fit. Despite the fact that there are numerous sorts of different activities to keep the body in unrivaled condition, for example, move, strolling, running, running and cycling, it must be noticed that preparation in any military workmanship has numerous focal points surprisingly.
Clinicians have discovered that negative feelings, for example, outrage, fear, gloom (prompting pressure) can be monitored by frequently honing any military workmanship. Reviews have demonstrated that a consistent session of self-protection preparing can make an individual feel empowered, revived and have an inspirational demeanor towards life which is hard to keep up in late universe of relentless rivalry.
History discloses to us that numerous hand to hand fighting go back to a huge number of years. While some have withstood the notions of time, others have altered themselves as indicated by late patterns. New styles have been produced from mix of old ones (for instance, Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do). The effect of globalization can likewise be felt as some local styles like Karate and Taekwondo have additionally been acknowledged in different nations.
Hand to hand fighting are not exclusively to enhance body quality and prepare in self-preservation, yet additionally to upgrade body balance, reflection, appropriate breathing, stamina, adaptability and standards of humankind to advance otherworldly improvement of a person. The advantages of preparing is like any type of activity as it includes sessions of warm-up, extending and preparing styles.
Mental advantages:
Self-protection down to earth preparing influences a person to stay made under circumstances out of extraordinary weight which can empower him/her to discover an answer effectively. Preparing in military craftsmanship makes one more social as any style has a tendency to include a lot of custom, philosophical gathering exercises. Cooperation's achievement is underlined as opposed to singular prizes.
Advancement in any military craftsmanship can be set apart by the arrangement of evaluations (wearing belts of various hues). The amateur more often than not begins with a white belt and travels through a flood of hues until he/she gets the belt of most elevated shading in his/her picked style. Tests are led consistently for each level, which can go about as a way to defining and accomplishment of objectives.
God has given individuals two ears, two nostrils and two eyes, yet one mouth. Each military workmanship style has a strict set of principles where the understudy or the student is required to hold fast as indicated by the standards and controls. In the progression of time, by appropriate direction, any individual will figure out how to regard other's perspectives. An individual seeking after any style will discover that certainty and regard for others originates from a profound feeling of self-information.
The span of accomplishment on any objective is estimated by the measure of focus which any individual applies in his/her life. A Martial workmanship enhances one's capacity to remain centered and, in advancement, get changed into an ardent audience to advance in the picked way.

Last week I said goodbye to my 200's forever. After a few weeks of hanging around 200-202, after giving up bananas and pretty much all fruit, after running for more than 2 hours and giving up carbs, I did it. I woke up last Thursday just feeling… different. I could really feel my hip bones and see my collarbone in the mirror that morning. I was optimistic and decided to weigh myself. There is was 199.2. And an hour later I was 198. Today, I am 197. It did it. I really did it. And the best part it is, it has actually stuck for more than 12 hours. Also, as of right now I have hit the 80 pound loss mark. That just blows me away. Damn… It's all unreal. But even in my euphoria I know I am determined to never see that number 2 at the beginning of my weight EVER again.
Two weeks ago I decided to try and run 12 miles (just 1 mile short of my half marathon distance). I thought I was ready, and I felt ready, but the run ended with my limping and crying, then crying even more when I got to my car. Actually I was sobbing. But I had a good, hard, long look at what went wrong and there were MANY factors. For one I decided to take just water in my pack and not any type of electrolyte aid. That was a really stupid idea. The air was very thin because the fog layer that morning was very thick. So I sweated a lot- more than a lot. This resulted in a huge loss of sodium. Then around mile 8 the cramping started. It started with one calve, then the other, then the hamstrings, then up into my ass. At this point, I tried to just jog a few minutes at a time, but even that proved too painful. I tried though… THEN, because I was walking funny and out of electrolytes my feet swelled. That resulted in blisters behind a couple of my toenails. Doesn't that sound awesome? I can assure you it is not.
That day sucked. A good friend of mine who does Ironman competitions reminded me that this is why we have bad runs BEFORE the event day, so we can workout all the bugs and really shine come game time. He was right, and I have since made some big changes in the last 8 days.
1.) I was using GU gels during my runs, but not having them often enough. I now will ingest one every 30 mins while running.
2.) I now carry water AND gatorade with me.
3.) I eat a bigger breakfast before long runs. A carb, peanut butter on it and a banana.
4.) I bought new running shoes 1 size larger to compensate for my feet swelling. (Already they feel amazing.)
5.) I invested in some different run-wear quick dry clothes. What a HUGE difference. I sweat, but my clothes stay bone dry.
So, now I'm ready.
I did a 5 mile run yesterday and tried all the new changes and it went swimmingly well.
7 days and counting…
I can't believe it is here. I cannot believe that I will be running 13.1 miles and doing it under 200 pounds. I'm just beside myself. But here it is. And here I am. Ready… for anything.

Discussion in '2002' started by Soccerwatcher, Jun 6, 2015.
Regional finals are about to begin. What's everyones predictions? Nice to see different teams going
Most games today were one sided according to score with the exception of a close game between PV United and TFA. Tomorrows game between WV and Placer should be a good one.
San Juan brought their A-Game against the De Anza PDP , very poised ...Congrats . Didn't see WV game but heard finals was pretty good.
Nice one 10K sushi on the "De Anza PDP" reference
It wasn't San Juan it was Total Football Academy from Nevada. They used the San Juan affiliation in order to compete in Norcal
It's the same team though! Seems like club names are always changing anyway. Now West valley has to go to surf cup to play them as their Nevada name.
Yeah too bad WV is paying top dollar to go play MVLA, a team they beat all the time and tied in spring league and TFA whom they beat easily at CR. The expansion of Surf has cheapened the whole experience.
Yep your correct FFS , quite expensive but hey "ya can't take it with ya!" With DeAnza PDP, CV MXG, SoCal teams and the little Galaxy girls are fast so still good competition but they need to change the Gold surf shirts to "the Best from the Rest !"
WV will be just fine down there in gold, having just finished 3rd in spring league, and with MVLA adding 3 PDP players. Should be an interesting group, actually.

Stellar reviews for the new "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" has lead to strong early box-office for the action tentpole. As a result there's already talk of a fifth entry in the series.
Moviehole reportedly spoke to someone in production at Paramount who said they're "extremely happy" with how well the film was doing and that they've heard production company Skydance definitely wants to get going quickly on not just a fifth 'Mission' but the proposed "Top Gun" sequel also in the works with Paramount distributing both.
Helping things along is that Skydance head David Ellison, who financed 'Ghost Protocol', will also apparently be forking over the coin to make these two projects – making them understandably tempting for Paramount to pursue. At last report "X-Men: First Class" writers Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz will pen the 'Gun' sequel.
Shooting however on either one would be at least a year off with Cruise committed to Joseph Kosinski's "Horizons" (aka. "Oblivion") and Doug Liman's "We Are Mortals" (aka. "All You Need Is Kill").
