On April 26, a public hearing about bidding Seonam University was held at the Natural Science Building. Based on a survey which was taken by UOS students before the public forum, students and faculty members of UOS discussed accepting Seonam University and other related problems.
Firstly, an officer of Planning Affairs and the Policy Director of the Student Council debated whether there will be any impact on departments such as the Department of Environmental Horticulture and the Department of Landscape Architecture. The officer said these departments will not be influenced negatively. Also, he said that if a College of Agriculture and Life Science is established as Seonam University has suggested, this will bring about a positive influence because students will benefit from practical training and take jobs which lead to synergy with related studies at UOS.
On top of that, the officer dealt with what will happen after adopting Seonam University, including its Asan and Namwon campuses, the latter of which features the Medical Department and the College of Public Health. First, UOS will recruit students of these medical schools mainly. Additionally, UOS plans to have students at Seonam University's medical school receive certificates from UOS. Then those students will be able to work in hospitals located in Seoul because affiliated medical instruments and infrastructures in Seoul have already been prepared.
Next, in the financial aspect, he mentioned budget standards. He said that the amount of the budget to be invested in Seonam University has not been decided yet. These days, the university's budget is approximately 110 billion KRW. Even if UOS uses money for the Namwon Campus, financial support will be increased and UOS will not lose any money which was used for UOS students before. To carry on, UOS has to obtain permission from Seoul citizens to invest their taxes.
Considering the difficulty of using medical treatment like in the case of MERS, UOS expects that a result of the investment will make large profits. This is because UOS medical students will be supplied to Seoul Medical Center. Additionally, a bill constructed by members of the assembly of Seoul shows that UOS can create medical school for public medical care. This implies that Seoul citizens might benefit greatly if UOS acquires Seonam University. Although most citizens know about these benefits, UOS will stress this factor to strengthen its bidding.
As for the development of the public medical system, the officer brought up an autonomous medical school in Japan as an example. It sends medical students to each region to work for 9 years. Like this policy, he stated that UOS, which is backed up by Seoul city, could become a good model for independent medical schools serving the community.
After questions received from students in advance were answered, there were questions on the public hearing. The first inquiry was about the tuition at Seonam University. Private medical school tuition is about 10 million KRW per year. The difference between UOS and other universities has not been decided yet. However, the tuition may be approximately half of other private medical schools and this will be determined after seriously considering experiments and practice fees.
As Seonam University received the worst evaluation by the Ministry of Education (MOE), there are some opinions that acquisition of this university may cause negative perceptions of UOS. However, the officer mentioned that UOS will not consider accepting Seonam University if it lowers the public evaluation of UOS, even though UOS wants to set up a medical school. Also students do not need to worry because evaluative indicators will be reflected for each university independently. Furthermore, considering the point of developing an unstable university and public medical care, accepting Seonam University could raise UOS's status.
For now, Seonam University has banned their students from transferring to the medical department. In the same manner, current UOS students will not be allowed to change their major to the premedical course. However, there will be changes in policy after actually operating the school.
After the public hearing, the Student Council made several extra enquires based on answers from UOS. Still, UOS needs to carry out a lot of investigation and discussion.

On the need for a C# Renaissance by Ian Cooper
Wanted to share this great article by Iain Cooper on the decline and rise of the language we love c#. Iain's gone to the great effort of analysing statistically how and where languages are being used. Bit of a lengthy one I must admit but if you're a .net core advocate it does bring a certain confidence that what your coding is not going to become redundant anytime soon.

There is some little chemical reaction that comes over me any time I enter a hardware store. I am overcome by the smell...all that lumber, paint and chemicals. Ohhh I love it! It's just a happy place for me.
My very first job was at True Value Hardware. I'll never forget the day I put a dress on and marched in the store and asked for an application. I think the manager took one look at me...in my cute little dress and hired me on the spot. He probably thought that anyone who would go to the trouble of dressing up to fill out an application for a hardware store nonetheless...deserved the job;)
I spent hours vacuuming the store, arranging the aisles. I was THE best cashier...uno #1. I could count change back like no one's business. It was a great first job. I loved it.
Then this hunky guy came along...and when he got a job at the new Wal-Mart in town, I of course had to follow him there;) Ah sweet memories...good times! What was your first job?
Have a blesssed day.

The November 23 deadline for comments on the proposed EPA cleanup for the upper Coeur d'Alene basin is fast approaching, and we received the following email from EPA regarding how comments are being handled:
Many people are wondering how EPA is handling public comments on the Proposed Cleanup Plan for the Upper Basin, and when they might hear something back. Here are answers those questions.
The public comment period on EPA's Proposed Cleanup Plan closes November 23. EPA has received hundreds of comments. It will take time for the agency to consider and respond to all of them. EPA takes each comment seriously. The agency is aware that the cleanup is complex, and is a topic which is deeply important to local citizens. EPA has received comments both in favor of and against the plan. EPA will consider changes to the proposed cleanup plan in response to public input.
All comments are being entered into an electronic database. Comments will be logged individually and in categories. This process ensures that each comment is accounted for and helps with an orderly, thorough response. The agency will prepare a document called a "Response to Comments." It will include both a response to each comment and a summary response to each issue.
The Response to Comments will be issued to the public at the same time as the ROD (Record of Decision) Amendment, sometime in 2011. The ROD Amendment is the final decision document. It will describe the selected cleanup alternative. The public will be able to request a hard copy of these documents and find them at select local libraries and on EPA's website.
Website: http://go.usa.gov/igD
We also noted today that Gov. Butch Otter submitted his comments on the plan. Otter, evidently, is supporting a much more limited cleanup, with a defined endpoint, coincidentally similar to Hecla Mining's proposal.
Like Gov. Otter, we too wish that the work wouldn't go on forever. But Otter's solution almost guarantees that it will. Doing it his way — only cleaning up part of the basin and not treating clearly-contaminated water — means that water quality standards will never be met, and the cleanup will go on and on and on. In fact, in his letter, Otter makes an ironic request to EPA to "commit to cash flow and management of the settlement funds" to ensure funds are available "well into the future."
Also, we think Gov. Otter should be a bit more honest about rhetoric in his letter about how EPA will "wildly spend public resources" and how it doesn't "live within the people's means." This cleanup is funded primarily with trust funds from the polluters that made the mess in the first place, not taxpayers. His grandstanding is not helpful.
There is still time to send your comments. (Idaho Conservation League has made it super-easy to do so from their website.) EPA needs to hear voices calling for a comprehensive, complete, permanent cleanup. Not the incomplete option proposed by the Governor.

Advanced Functional Materials, March, 2015
Ultralight polymer sponges are prepared by freeze-drying of dispersions of short electrospun fi bers. In contrast to many other highly porous materials, these sponges show extremely low densities (<3 mg cm −3 ) in combination with low specifi c surface areas. The resulting hierarchical pore structure of the sponges gives basis for soft and reversibly compressible materials and to hydrophobic behavior in combination with excellent uptake for hydrophobic liquids. Owing to their large porosity, cell culturing is successful after hydrophilic modifi cation of the sponges.

MP1206 Workshop on Electrospinning for High Performance Sensing
- April 29th-30th 2014
- Roma, ITALY
The First International Workshop on Electrospinning for High Performance Sensing (EHPS) is hosted by the Institute of Atmospheric Pollution Research of the CNR (CNR-IIA) and will be held in Rome on the 29th-30th of April 2014 (Chair A. Macagnano) within the COST Action MP1206
For more details see the conference website: www.electrospinsense.iia.cnr.it
Electrospinning is a versatile and not expensive technology, suitable for micro-nanostructured sensors, allowing an easy integration of long fibres (both organics and inorganics) with microcircuits in different configurations and on several substrates.
Sensitivity, detection limits, response time and selectivity of each nanofibrous sensor can be optimized by tuning the porosity of fibres and layers (through the orchestration of different parameters in electrospinning), as well as by performing post-treatment procedures.
Some recent and encouraging results obtained in field of sensors, ranging from a very high sensitivity to extreme operating conditions, allowed the use of versatile and very slight substrates thus covering a multitude of requirements.
Despite of these amazing and industrially attractive properties for sensors manufacturing, electrospinning technology is still not wide spread among nanotechnologies for sensors.
The workshop focuses on exploring and debating several aspects of the electrospinning technology for designing and manufacturing high performing materials for sensors. The original contributions will be collected in a Springer edited book.

This month thrash icons, Slayer, will kick off the first leg of their 2016 Repentless World Tour with Testament and Carcass. Repentless marks the band's twelfth studio album, the first without founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman, and the first with Exodus guitarist Gary Holt. It also ushers in the return of drummer Paul Bostaph who last appeared on Slayer's 2001 release, God Hates Us All. Guitarist Kerry King and vocalist/bassist Tom Araya wasted no time reaching out to Bostaph when a vacancy came open. His resume speaks for itself; from his time with seminal Bay Area thrashers, Forbidden, to his work with Exodus and Testament, to his previous time in Slayer, Bostaph is a drumming legend. This week Metalholic caught up with Paul to chat about the upcoming tour, recording Repentless, and why he just wants to have fun at this point in his career.
As Slayer rolls into 2016, the band celebrates its 35 anniversary, and the 30th anniversary of its groundbreaking Reign in Blood album. Creating a setlist for the upcoming tour is a daunting task, and we asked Bostaph what fans might expect and if there will be any obscure cuts in the set:
"I'm not sure if you'll see anything that's totally obscure, per se, but we have so many songs that are at our disposal in terms of what we can play as a band that you never know what we're going to come up with. We're dusting off a few songs this week and you might hear a few things you haven't heard in a while."
Nearly 15 years have elapsed between Bostaph's last record with Slayer and Repentless, but the drummer says that being back in the studio in many ways felt like business as usual. The difference from his perspective came from his growth as a musician.
"It was strange. The things that were familiar is that I've done it with this band before. I know the drill, per se. But the other side of it was in my absence from the band I've recorded albums with Exodus, Testament, and jammed with a bunch of different people. I've been able to draw from all those experiences on this record, which I didn't have with any previous record I've done with the band before. Those experiences, I think, have made me a better drummer than I have been in the past—in my opinion."
Bostaph also shared that the absence of Jeff Hanneman changed the dynamic in the studio for him, and in many ways, Jeff was with him in spirit.
"Typically when I'd be in the studio in the past, I knew how to read what was making the guys excited about my drum tracks. Since Jeff wasn't with us, at times I was thinking of Jeff more than I ever would have. If he'd been in the room I probably wouldn't have thought of him at all unless he said something. But he was always in the back of my mind. Part of it was I wanted to do honor to the album, to honor Jeff, and then part of it was, 'Well, what would Jeff think about this?' He was still in the room. So that was probably the strangest part about it."
When Paul initially joined Slayer in 1992, he admits he felt he had a lot to prove. All eyes and ears were on him, and he had big sticks to fill. Over 20 years later, with a lot of metal and wisdom under the bridge, and his belt, Bostaph once again found himself replacing one of his heroes behind the same kit he had previously vacated. This time around, Paul says he did not feel the same kind of pressure.
"I don't think I had anything to prove on this album. I just felt like this was an important record. Personally, I don't think I have to prove anything to anybody but myself. I think that old attitude about having something to prove was when I was younger—and I did. And don't get me wrong, I'm not resting on my laurels. I think now I approach it differently. I want to have fun playing drums. I think that's the difference. I want that to define my playing now."
You can listen to the full interview with Paul Bostaph above, and catch more of his thoughts on Slayer, Repentless, and the Iranian thrash band, Confess, recently jailed and facing execution for making "Satan's music."
Slayer will kick off the first leg of the Repentless World Tour in Chicago on Feb. 19 which runs through March. They will then head overseas for a couple of dates with Iron Maiden and several festival appearances heading into the summer.

GM report cites more death claims in recalled cars – USA TODAY
General Motors tells federal safety regulators in a routine quarterly filing that it has reports of more deaths in the small cars it recalled earlier this year for defective ignition switches.
The reports are raw data, GM cautions, neither investigated nor verified.
They do not mean GM has upped its official count of fatalities linked to the recalled cars, though GM CEO Mary Barra has said the total eventually could go higher.
The Early Warning Report, required quarterly by all car companies to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, lists 17 deaths and 167 injuries in Chevrolet Cobalts and Saturn Ions reported to GM in the first quarter, according to a tally published today by trade publication Automotive News.
GM said it has no reason to doubt that count.
Those two vehicles made up most of the 2.19 million 2003 through 2011 small cars recalled by GM in February and March for defective ignition switches that could disable air bags. GM has linked 13 deaths to the recalled cars.
Regardless of whether the recently reported deaths can be directly tied to the GM recall, they show that the the case seems to be following a frequent pattern: High-profile recalls tend to generate growing numbers of death and injury reports.
In the Toyota unintended-acceleration recall, for example, Toyota critics were claiming that more than 100 people had been killed in runaway Toyota vehicles. A special investigation by NHTSA, however, found only five deaths it could unquestionably attribute to the stuck-throttle problem.
GM spokesman Jim Cain said the reports it compiles and sends to NHTSA quarterly come from a variety of sources, including lawsuits, newspaper reports and direct complaints to the automaker.
Cain said, "If any of those people were injured, or suffered a loss of loved ones, because of the ignition switch, we want them to be part of the (victims) compensation fund."
GM has established a victims fund and hired compensation expert Kenneth Feinberg to administer it, independently. He and GM emphasize that it's entirely up to him who gets paid and how much.
He has, however, set a formula involving the age of the victim, income at the time of the accident, and likely income over a lifetime. Examples he's given have been from a few hundred thousand dollars to a few million dollars.
Feinberg begins taking claims Aug. 1 and halts Dec. 31. He says all valid claims should be paid by the middle of next year.

Background and purpose. Executive function (EF) skills are necessary to set a strong foundation for play development, school readiness and social participation in young children. However, few ecologically valid assessments are available to detect potential executive function deficits in preschool aged children. The Preschool Kitchen Task Assessment (PKTA) is a new tool that measures EF in preschool aged children. The PKTA was adapted from the Kitchen Task Assessment and The Children Task Assessment by Christine Berg, Ph.D., OTR/L. This study aimed to validate the PKTA as an ecological assessment of EF in preschool aged children.
Subjects. Twenty-four typically developing children ages three to five and their parents from three preschools in Marin County.
Methods. An exploratory research design was utilized to examine the ecological validity of the PKTA. Scores from the PKTA were compared to three established neuropsychological assessments using Pearson's r correlation.
Results. Weak and non-significant correlations were found between the PKTA and the three established neuropsychological assessments: The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Preschool Version Parent Form (BRIEF-P), Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS), Forward Digit & Backward Digit Span (FDS & BDS). A strong negative significant relationship was found between the participant's age in months and their total score on the PKTA.
Discussion and conclusion. The findings do not support the validity of the PKTA as an assessment tool for EF in preschool aged children. The PKTA may be a useful ecologically valid assessment of developmental milestones in preschoolers.

James Carroll asked in an opinion column in the Boston Globe back in January if the human race can outgrow war. Accepting his Nobel Peace prize, Martin Luther King said we could, that we should, and that in the face of weapons of mass destruction, we must; "If we assume that life is worth living and that man has a right to survive, then we must find an alternative to war." But King's word "survive" captures the main reason why his honorable plea for peace is naïve, and why the answer to Carroll's plea for reason is "No, we can't."
Large scale violence happens for the same reason that most violence does. When we are threatened, we often protect ourselves with physical force. And it's not something we even think about. It's instinctive. Whether threatened as individuals on the playground and the streets, or as tribes across larger territories, turning the other cheek is not how we are wired to react to threats. Deep in our neural architecture and chemistry, probably in our very genes, we have a powerful set of instinctive subconscious systems that help us detect and respond to danger, whether it's a direct physical threat, a threat to our resources, or even a challenge to our basic ideas about social structure. These precognitive systems have evolved to help us survive. They fire up before thinking and reason even have a chance to contribute to our response to risk. And as the threat continues, between cognition and instinctive emotion, the edge definitely goes to the latter.
In nearly every animal known, including the human animal, the first hint of danger triggers the Fight or Flight or Freeze response. (More commonly known as the Fight or Flight response, animals that perceive a threat also instinctively freeze, so I've taken the liberty of renaming the phenomenon.) Before thinking even has a chance to get going, we respond to danger by instantly rearranging our bodily systems and metabolism to either fight, flee, or freeze.
One of the things those initial changes do is magnify the power of instinct over reason as our response to the risk continues. We not only use instincts first and thinking second, but in an ongoing risk response, we use emotions and instinct more than reason. Neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux, who helped pioneer the research that identified the amygdala as the part of the brain where fear begins, says of the neural systems that control our response to risk, "While conscious control over emotions is weak, emotions can flood consciousness. This is so because the wiring of the brain at this point in our evolutionary history is such that connections from the emotional systems to the cognitive systems are stronger than the connections from the cognitive systems to the emotional systems." (p. 19, the Emotional Brain, http://tiny.cc/DeqLG)
Ending war would require that reason conquer these self-protective instincts. That's not entirely out of the question. We do have the capacity for thinking our way to a non-violent response to threat. And our powerful thinking cortex may yet evolve to become the more dominant contributor to our risk response system, developing smarter and more effective ways to respond to risk than our older hard-wired instincts which, so far, have worked pretty well. But for the foreseeable human future, when it comes to the perception of and response to danger, thinking comes second and instinct comes first. Even King seemed to acknowledge this in his speech when he said "...we have ancient habits to deal with..."
Two other Nobel Peace Prize winners offered their answer to Carroll. President Barack Obama said "To say that force is sometimes necessary is not a call to cynicism -- it is a recognition of history; the imperfections of man and the limits of reason." Obama talked about a "just war." Which the Prince of non-violence himself, Mahatma Ghandi, also invoked when he said "Fighting a violent war is better than accepting injustice. So, really there is no contradiction in fighting a just war, and believing in non-violence."
The problem is, what is just to the U.S. feels like injustice, and threat, to radical Islamists. What was just to France and Britain after the carnage of World War One didn't feel like justice to Germans struggling to survive, so we had World War II. Nationalist tensions in the Balkans, conflict over power among tribes in Kenya, or over whose religion will "win" throughout history. .. the evidence of how we instinctively fight when we are threatened makes for a long tragic list that will surely grow. Until the time comes when we aren't threatened by competition over resources, or when the ideas of the 'other' tribe are ascendant -- and who can foresee that day -- despite the attractive rational appeal of peace, our more dominant animal survival instincts insure that violence will continue.

Nepal: Start of Relief Project for Aiding Survivors of Earthquake in Central Nepal
In order to investigate the possibility for BHN to aid survivors of the April 25th earthquake in Nepal, three members of the BHN staff were sent to Nepal starting on May 3rd, Sunday.
Based on the report by the investigation team, we planned a rapid response project and obtained the assistance of the nonprofit activity organization Japan Platform.
Specifically, starting on June 8th, BHN will start a project to restore a total of eight community FM radio stations in Sindhupalchowk district, as well as in four other districts, which sustained a lot of damage from the earthquake.
As we reported before, the Asian Pacific office of AMARC (World Association of Community Radio Broad-casters) is planned to be the local partner. We are currently discussing finalizing a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with AMARC's office.
On June 11th and June 19th, specialists from BHN arrived in Nepal one by one to start the main activities. For this project, we plan to do repairs on the buildings and broadcasting towers of some of the broadcasting offices.
Throughout the four months spent on this project, which will end in mid-October, we will conduct our work while keeping safety in mind above all.

Jeff Cowell provides professional Photographic Services and Education in Wichita, KS and around the United States. Although he offers an extensive year-round schedule of seminars and workshops, he is also available for special group presentations. Non-profit organizations can benefit from his fund-raising presentations too.
Check out other offerings here:

Or see my various web sites, blog, etc...
Student Reviews:
I have taken every class from Jeff and been on a few excursions and have gone from taking hundreds of snapshots hoping for a few keepers, to taking a handful of photographs and most will be keepers. You will not find many people with as much experience in film development, digital, Photoshop, printing, scanning, business, teaching, studio, modeling, product photography, macro, and a tour guide through Kansas. Jeff can even make a drive through western Kansas a wonderful experience and you will come back with stories to pass on. Mike B.
I have attended Jeff's photography class as well as a couple of workshops. I was a complete novice with my little point and shoot camera. Jeff insisted the camera didn't matter, it was all about trusting yourself to take it off "auto" and learn to really take pictures. The material was presented in a format easy for me to understand with lots of one on one instruction (and with a sense of humor!) He convinced me I was smarter than my camera, and the proof is in the photos. When people look at my photos and tell me I missed my calling and should have been a photographer... well that's a testimony to Jeff! Lori K.

RE: Hero Rendering Times
I'm suggesting to do it automatically like SpeedCurve does - https://speedcurve.com/blog/web-performa...ro-times/. When they added this feature, these metrics were automatically available for all pages (no markers or performance observers on the page).
I have no idea how they are doing it, but if it can be done, it will be a great asset to WebPagetest's metrics.
Getting the largest above the fold image is easy - just iterate over the img tags after the page is loaded and filter using: https://gomakethings.com/how-to-test-if-...avascript/
Then, what they might be doing is get its dimensions, extract that portion from the final filmstrip screenshot and go back the filmstrip to see when it first appeared.

Suitcase 3: Up We Go Now
(2009, Guided by Voices Inc.)
Four years after the 2nd and ten years after the first 100 were dropped on the world, Pollard returns with the 3rd collection of 100 unreleased tracks (Discs 9-12 in the series). After the rather disappointing and altogether tedious collection on Suitcase 2: American Superdream Wow, the latest addition comes back slightly stronger but, nonetheless, still bloated and diluted. But one must remember, historically, unreleased tracks generally remain unreleased for a reason, one day properly filling out CD reissues making bootleggers sweat. In this case, one can't expect too much as these are unreleased tracks so a strong healthy dose of bullshit is to be expected. Still, this third go-round mostly feels... draining. But as every GBV hoarder knows, you don't need to ask. Just accept.
Suitcase 3 relies heavily upon recent Pollard solo LP outtakes, primarily cuts rejected from 2009's Elephant Jokes LP. Prior to Suitcase 3, a rumored compilation, reportedly titled Tug of War At The Faithful Center, featuring unused tracks was passed around online as a potential Pollard solo release, but was eventually shelved. Most of the tracks wound up on this third box-set installment, in turn. Many of these Todd Tobias produced leftovers (from post-GBV first-run life) are nothing to drool over, there are a few pop gems among the madness.
The remainder of Suitcase 3 remains par for the course, and comparable to previous collections. Late '80s GBV tracks, extended basement instrumentals, poor man's psych, and discarded early baby voiced Pollard cuts. The collection does over saturate with far too many unlistenable, minute long track of psycho-mumble, and desolate demo tracks that doesn't deserve the plastic it's burned on. Another fault of Suitcase 3 is the lack of extensive recording info and liner notes that accompany the first two collections. Packaging wise, this is a trimmed down collection, making pinning down recording times and personnel involved a difficult task.
The greatest appeal of the third Suitcase is the inclusion of Disc 12's material. (Click here to read a brief write up on the treat given to the fanatics on Disc 12.) Casual listeners and obsessives alike get to eavesdrop on an improvised acoustic think-tank session between Tobin Sprout, Greg Demos, and Robert Pollard during their Bee Thousand/Alien Lanes days. A relic worthy of hearing, and some of the melodic riff-raff is quiet infectious, showing the ease which material was flowing at the time. Some it just flat out sucks.
Disc 9: The Door Is Much Smaller, You See
Building A Castle- 2 Begins with the same reverberated organ noise that makes an appearance on "Ester's Day" and "At Odds with Doctor Genesis." Perhaps this is from the same sit down session. This is a 32 second opener that isn't breaking down any doors, and isn't particularly good or bad. If nothing else it has a familiarity that makes you go "Oh, I think I know this song..." but then ya don't.
Tired of Knocking- 3 Hi-fi, door-kicking in kind of rocker. Decent melody throughout the song. I think Pollard is singing real words? Kind of cool. A short blast that was an outtake from his solo LP Elephant Jokes
Together/Apart- 4 Mid '80s home recording. One clean guitar, bass and drums. The song has a mid-60's Brit feel to it. Pollard sings accent free on this one. In the scheme of these box-sets, this is practically lost gold.
Away With Driver- 1 Single, staccato acoustic strums on an acoustic guitar. Four goddamn minutes of this nonsense that eventually breaks into something of a strumming pattern. Pollard sings a sad sack melody that may have been able to do him some good if this song was pursued. But as a four minute post-it note, and nothing more, it's best left unheard.
Trash Truck- 1 Poor man's grunge trash. Pollard howls something over this extremely lo-fi track. The bass trumps percussion on it to the song's own detriment and drags on for three minutes.
Dropping The Bomb- 4 An airy, gliding pop number that's shrouded in melodic layers, and fay acoustic plucks. Another Elephant Jokes outtake. So positively blissful that a few repeated listens might warrant a place for this in the soft spot of your brain.
What's So Safe About You?- 2 Pollard bangs away at the acoustic guitar, and sings some semi-literate stuff. Gets a 2 because it doesn't suck nearly as bad as some of the regular acoustic/vocal boombox stuff.
Troopers In Town- 3 Murky, full band recording from sometime in the mid-'90s. Track takes its time to build (it's nearly a four minute song). Certainly not the best, but quite interesting to consider why this slow-burner, with its downer lead riff, didn't make an appearance elsewhere. Worth a spin!
Gas- 1 Distant and distorted guitar with ripped to reverb shit vocals, and a random drum hit once in a while. 30 seconds of steady beat poppy kind of song. "And I can smell it... gas." These are real lyrics, mind you. Mildly intriguing.
Watchin' Em Diggin' Up the Road- 2 Pollard strums the guitar and sings pure babble throughout, with the exception of him stating the title. The real damn shame here is that I think I'd fucking love this song if it were actually finished!
Coastal Town- 4 Wait.This sounds slightly familiar. Harmonica and dual harmonies are placed over gently strummed guitar, you may eventually realize is a prototype for "Closer You Are" off Alien Lanes. Killer artifact. Fascinating, and not so bad at all. Surprised this didn't resurface sooner.
Escape From Kama Luka- 1 Mid-'90s (?) acoustic demo. The tape sounds as though it has a bit of age to it. However, it's nothing but a solidly strummed, melancholy and fairly subpar acoustic demo. If there were any vocals, I think I might be able to at least give this a "2."
The Annex- 1 Devo-lite. Drum machine backbone, seesaw guitar work, and robotic vocal styling. May have been better suited for a Circus Devils LP. Nearly 4 minutes! Another Elephant Jokes outtake.
Green Ivory Cross- 2 Pollard plays a skipping, hammer-on acoustic riff and sings a forlorn melody while doing so. Nothing crazy, but a rainy day demo you can at sink at least one tooth into.
Janet Wait- 3 Sounds like a late '80s GBV outtake based on the singing and overall sound quality. Tremolo guitar buzzes over a casual drum beat. Pollard lays down a lazy vocal melody that kind of fucking rules!
Independent Productions- 1 Sounds like Pollard is about to take a shit, then drops something, then literally blows his nose. This is followed by silence, then some melody he sings. After this he whispers, there is more silence, a little mumbling, and the tape cuts short. One whole minute. What in the fucking world is this? Really though, you gotta hear this.
Thee White Flower- 2 Mitch Mitchell, Jim Pollard, and Bob all met in the basement and there is a damn good chance this is them doing an Acid Ranch early session. Steady drum beat with Woodstock-hippy-dippy vocal chanting. Bizarre nonsense, but in this case it is calculated nonsense.
Juggernaut Vs. Monolith- 2 The original demo of what was eventually adopted by Pollard's band Boston Spaceships on Let It Beard. Not much to this demo, other than a slightly interesting monotone hook.
Feels Good- 1 Nothing feels good about trying to listen to this fucking song.
Candy Machine- 1 Rather short, hi-fi steadfast pop number with a little muscle behind it. Another Elephant Jokes outtake. Unfortunately, the vocals were either overdubbed later, or this was Pollard's only take as it sounds like he's in a constant drunken mid-burp, and always left of center of being in tune.
Air And Also A World- 2 Sounds like a dank Acid Ranch outtake from the early '80s. Grab your sitar and give in to the alluring church of Pollard, but don't dive too deep into this one.
Back To The Navy- 4 Acoustic song track with solid vocal delivery. Sturdy song with a mid-90s GBV feel to it. Gotta hang with this one. Not sure what era this might have been recorded in (mid-90s?/'00s/), but there was serious releasable potential for this one. The bridge, of all things, is exceptionally fucking awesome, by the way.
Speak Like Men- 5 Sounds like an early version of "Not Behind the Fighter Jet" off Mag Earwhig!, but with different, jangled choruses. Originally supposed to be included on the aborted GBV LP The Power of Suck. BUT HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Put this on any GBV mix. A hidden gem in the rough.
Hi, I'm Kelsey- 2 Answering machine bullshit with a sped-up woman's voice, or perhaps some kid's, declaring that they farted. Always hilarious, of course. Pollard plays oddly tuned, back porch, honky-tonk guitar slides over the machine. Not a song, but LISTEN TO THIS. Kind of a rad sound collage. All in good fun.
No Trash Allowed- 5 Jangled, morning hangover sunshine guitar. Short, sweet and should have been on any early GBV EP. Whoa! Listen to on repeat. One minute of pure early GBV lost wonderment, akin to "Hey Aardvark!" Lovely.

WAYNE TOWNSHIP -- A man from Schuylkill County remains in the hospital days after he was shot outside his home. No one has been charged, and neighbors said they have no idea who would want to kill him or why.
It's been two days since troopers said someone tried to kill Richard Behney at his home near Pine Grove, but all the evidence is still there: blood splattered on the house and truck where Behney was shot Monday morning.
"The cops were there and they did an investigation. They ran around the woods until they found empty shell casings, so they knew where the shots came from," said neighbor Jed Warner.
Behney was hit on his hand and lower back as he was getting into his car. Next door neighbor Jed Warner said he's in the hospital recovering from surgery, but is expected to be okay.
Warner said state police found bullet shell casings just about 20 yards into the woods. It's an odd place since he said few people are in the woods this time of year.
"It's all posted here. You have to have permission to get on it. Plus there's no hunting season right now. Somebody would have to know the area," said Warner.
Warner said neither he nor Behney has any enemies that they know of, but he does feel like Behney may have been targeted.
"We have no clue what's going on. He doesn't even know why somebody would shoot at him," said Warner.
So far no one has been charged with what state troopers call an attempted homicide.

No, he should not be held accountable for the nuclear bombs that the United States used in World War 2. He simply found out the science behind the bombs, so that they could be built. He had nothing to do with making the decision to fire the bombs off in Japan.
I do not believe Albert Einstein should be held accountable for the nuclear bombs of World War II, for two reasons. First, Einstein denounced the use of these bombs. Secondly, you can't hold someone accountable when they are dead. Insinuating that he was somehow at fault is not going to change their mind about such a prominent figure head.
Einstein was a scientist. His researches led him to discover the principles of atomic fusion and fission, but he did not set out to create a weapon. The fact that his discoveries could be perverted into bombs and other destructive measures was not his fault, any more than it is the fault of the person who first made fire that fire can burn and destroy.
Albert Einstein was only doing what he thought would best defeat fascism, and later went on to regret his decision. However, even if Einstein hadn't contributed in the way he did, the bombs would have been built anyway, and not even just by the Americans, but the Germans and Japanese were close to making ones as well.
Albert Einstein didn't work on the Manhattan Project. If anyone should be held accountable for the nuclear bombs of World War II, it is Dr. Robert Oppenheimer who headed the project. Einstein wrote to FDR that the Nazis were experimenting with uranium-235 to try to make nuclear fission bombs. Six years after that, the United States successfully dropped two of these devices in Japan. Einstein wasn't responsible for the nukes, the Nazis and the United States were the ones behind the impetus for the project.

Attesting to the interest the works of Thomas Aquinas held for Jewish scholars, this collection of treatises by Christian and Jewish scholastics, including three works by Aquinas, was translated from the Latin or composed by an important Italian translator-philosopher, Judah ben Moses Romano. Judah Romano was the first to translate Aquinas. Except for a few fragments almost none of Judah's translations or original works have been published.
1. The paper appears to be of northern Italian origin from the beginning of the second quarter of the fifteenth century, the script is Ashkenazic, and the manuscript was probably composed by German emigres northern Italy.
2. Solomon Hayyim Halberstam (1832-1900), his MS 409, stamped on spine and recto of front flyleaf. Polish scholar and bibliophile, Solomon Halberstam was a wealthy and avid collector and scholar of Hebrew manuscxripts, including codices from Luzzato's estate and Zunz's private library.
3. Sir Moses Montefiore (1784-1885), his MS 278, stamped on spine. Most famous English Jew of his time, Montefiore became a legend in his lifetime, fighting worldwide for the lives and rights of Jews. He founded after the death of his wife Judith Lady Montefiore a college in Ramsgate, which with the appointment of Haham Moses Gaster in 1887, acquired many manuscripts including the Halberstam Collection.
4. London, Jews' College, on deposit since 1899, as part of the Montefiore Endowment.

Hola Hart Beat. It's definitely Thursday and it's definitely rainy so that means we have to talk about coffee. Last year around this time I tried to give up coffee cold turkey. It didn't work and since then I have been happily back on the caffeine train. My typical order oscillate between a regular latte and a café au lait (two thirds coffee with steamed milk poured over the top). To be honest, I can't really tell a huge difference and (at least in New York) the price difference is huge. A café au lait usually costs $2.50/$3 and a latte can range from $4.50 to a crazy $9. The other reason I love a good café au lait is it's the closest thing I've found to the Spanish Café con Leche. ☕☕☕
Suffice it to say I drink mainly café au laits but one thing I have been doing to add a little extra umff has been sprinkling a little cinnamon on top of the coffee. GAME CHANGER.
This started when my mom and I were in Costa Rica and I haven't been able to stop. The cinnamon adds just a whiff of flavor that sometimes you just need in your coffee. Plus, it looks super pretty. The picture above was from this mornings coffee stop at The Little Cupcake Bakeshop in Bay Ridge.
What about you, Hart Beat? Have any tricks for your daily coffee grind?
In case you missed it, this is part of a series called Daily Routine on Hart Beat. For the first installment check out my daily packing routine post. More to come soon!

"I have a 16GB micro SD card, but it is unreadable on my smartphone and computer. This micro SD card still worked fine on my smartphone just now. But I wanted to download some music to the micro SD card, so I removed the micro SD card from my smartphone and connected it to my computer via a card reader. When I was downloading music to the micro SD card, Windows pops up a message to say memory card is write-protected. Then, I unplugged the micro SD card to my computer and reconnected it again. This time, when I wanted to open the micro SD card, Windows reported another message memory card is not readable. I don't know what is wrong, so I reinserted it to my smartphone but I still received the same message. I want to know why the 16GB micro SD card get corrupted. And how can I fix the problem and get back all files stored on the micro SD card?"
When a micro SD card is not readable on both smartphone and computer, the first thing you need to do is not to troubleshoot the problem. Instead, you need to recover all important files from the micro SD card first of all. In order to recover files from an unreadable micro SD card, you need to rely on iCare Data Recovery Pro, the read-only data recovery utility. The data recovery software is designed for lost file recovery in different situations, so you can totally rely on the software to perform data recovery from an unreadable 16GB micro SD card. No matter what kind of data is stored on the micro SD card, the data recovery software can deep scan the card and help extract the lost files from the card. Micro sd card data recovery can be performed as following steps.
Download iCare Data Recovery Pro Free to recover files from mobile phone camera memory card including photos, videos, music...
Step1. Connect the 16GB micro SD card to your computer. Download and install the data recovery software on your computer. Launch the software and choose a recovery module.
Step2. Choose the micro SD card as scanning drive, and then you just need to wait when the software is scanning.
Step3. You can preview the found files after scanning. Then, you can choose the files you need and recover them.
One possible way to fix the unreadable problem on a micro SD card is to format the card. After formatting the micro SD card successfully, you can reuse the micro SD card for data storage. This is one of reason why you should recover data first before formatting the card. If you format the unreadable micro SD card first, you may overwrite the original data by writing new data. In addition, it may cause unexpected disaster and make data recovery difficult if you meet any problem during formatting. As long as the original data is not overwritten or corrupted after formatting, you still have chance to get it back by relying on data recovery software.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to data recovery, you can format the unreadable micro SD card when all important data has been restored successfully. Simply, you can format your micro SD card on your smartphone or computer.
Apart from the case above, you may receive many other kinds of error messages when your micro SD card is not readable, while one of the most common error message you may receive is memory card is not formatted do you want to format it now. You just need to follow the Windows pop-up message to format the micro SD card so as to fix the not formatted error. However, as what mentioned above, if you have important data stored on the unformatted micro SD card, the first thing you should do is to restore the data. The data recovery software allows you to restore any kind files such as videos, music, pictures, etc from an unformatted micro SD card.
Have you ever encountered the situation that it asks you to type a password in order to access your micro SD card? But the problem is that you have never set any password to your memory card. If you meet such kind of problem, probably your micro SD card is infected with virus. Therefore, you need to run professional anti-virus software to scan the micro SD card and remove the virus. However, what you should know is that even if you can remove all virus on the micro SD card, it doesn't mean that you can get back the files on your micro SD card. Therefore, you still need to run data recovery software to perform data recovery first of all before running anti-virus software. Virus may corrupt the files on your micro SD card. If so, you may be unable to recover some files that are corrupted.

I've been admiring Sissi Rossi bags for a long time, so when I stepped into Harvey Nichols in Dundrum last weekend and spotted a few from their Autumn/Winter 07-08 collection on sale at 75% off, I stopped, caught like a rabbit in the headlights. Made of the softest, squishiest buffalo leather, these bags are luxurious, but designed to be worn and loved - the leather will just get better age.
After some wavering, I eventually settled on this gorgeous stone grey one. With sturdy handles and a long strap, it is versatile and can be carried or worn on your shoulder or across the body. It is also fairly voluminous, so I'll be able to carry my life around with me on a daily basis, as usual.
Check out more Sissi Rossi bags online or in Harvey Nichols.

Harvey Nichols Summer Sale
I picked up a lovely Sissi Rossi bag in the sale at Harvey Nichols in Dundrum today (more on which later). Most stores are coming to the end of their sales, but there were quite few bargains to be had in Harvey Nichols - including this fab Sasha handbag from Botkier in silver snake at only €250. Run, don't walk...

The fabulous clothes types of the twentieth Century might have been relegated to the archives history, with a couple of bespoke ones good only as display in the museums of classic arts, but a very good variety of trendy types like the poodle skirt (one of the top fashion types of the 70s) and the trumpet skirts of the fifties are reappearing, albeit in modified types, on the fashion runway. A brand new feeling of freedom mixed with disillusionment created a brand new kind of tradition, a reside-for-at the moment, devil-might-care society that led to the roaring 20s and the distinctive look, sound, and fashion of the Jazz Age. Children and the youth making choices the world over that affect fashion for individuals in every single place Road fashion is more than fashion. Mia Farrow appeared in this traditional tale of paranoia carrying child-doll style mini clothes, neat tailored minis, and tent attire with Peter Pan collars. The Barbie fashion costume up internet play make coming into into the exciting world of fashion design enjoyable.
The excessive fashion girls wore luxuriously female low necked night dresses, or boned strapless dresses in taffetas, lace, nets, tulle, and chiffon, satin and generally nylon. The sheer notion that a lady needed to try to sleep in an uncomfortable position with an undoubtedly cumbersome wig sitting atop her head illustrates the nice lengths to which people have gone through for the sake of fashion and beauty. Fashion tips are so good and footware fashion is good, jewellary also spectacular.
The Bratz Fashion Photograph Studio is a sport the place you get to model up your favourite Bratz dolls within the hottest fashions, accessories, hairstyles, and make-up. Years have handed, nonetheless, the ditch coat has held on effectively to its effectively earned place in fashions that defy time, and I'm positive it's going to keeps its place in fashion for many years to come. Fashion by no means find yourself along with your young age, this post on fashion suggestions for ladies helps to know the right way to flip up fashionista over 50. Thanks a lot!! Both the star and the character she performed slipped exterior the mainstream of fashion whereas creating a brand new traditional style that was fearless and chic.
All the events together with Fashion Forecast and the Posh Social gathering Pattern Show (produced by Terri Morgan of TCM Models) are good, however my personal favorites are the Unbiased Designer Runway Show (IDRS) sponsored by Seattle Met and the Entrance Row Fashion Present introduced by Vogue.
There advanced an internationalisation of the fashion scene, and the wealthy and classy quickly shopped as fortunately in London or Paris as they did in New York or Rome. These great years in fashion historical past quickly moved into warfare instances, and as fashion soon became a frivolity, utility vary of clothing developed. Figuring out the needs of the consumers will improve a fashion companies' gross sales and income. Avenue fashion by no means appeared better as these girl are wearing elaborate coloured attire with prints of flower designs.

Guardian University Guide highlights UCLan strengths
The Guardian University Guide for 2015 has named the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) as one of the UK's most improved universities having leaped 20 places to 67th position out of 116 universities. In the North West UCLan is ranked 5th out of 11 universities.
The Guardian's table, renowned for focusing on the aspects of the university experience which are deemed to be of greatest importance to students, ranks UCLan 15th in the UK for assessment feedback. The University has also risen 17 places in relation to satisfaction with teaching.
Five UCLan subject areas appear in the UK top twenty, namely: Architecture; Art; Fashion and Textiles; Sports Science; Hospitality, Event Management and Tourism. Three subject areas recording rises of 20 or more places, namely: Drama and Dance; Economics; and English and Creative Writing.
Professor David Asch, UCLan's Interim Deputy Vice-Chancellor said the results of this latest league table highlight UCLan's commitment to delivering an excellent student experience.
"It's extremely encouraging that we are rated highly in a number of areas important to students," he explained. "For example, in terms of the academic feedback we provide for students' work, we rank in the UK's top 15.
"It's extremely encouraging that we are rated highly in a number of areas important to students,"
"Similarly, we have also performed well in terms of the financial investment we make per student through access to sector leading library and computing services and top-of-the-range sport and leisure facilities."
In the Guardian's write up on UCLan the paper says: "UCLan is one of the country's largest universities, with 35,000 students, and it aims to provide an excellent experience for every single one of them. It seems to be working as it is consistently rated in the top 10 modern universities in the country. UCLan ranks in the top three nationally for the number of graduate start-up businesses and is number one in the region".
Professor Asch added: "This year we have five subject areas ranked in the national top 20 together with large rises for a number of others. Our focus on embedding employability skills into every one of our degree programmes is proving popular with students and reflects our improved position within the latest National Student Survey where the University achieved its highest ever overall satisfaction score of 84%.
The University is hosting its next open day open day on Saturday, 21 June. Tours of the campus, various talks on accommodation, academic advice and finance will be available from 9.00am until 3.00pm. For open day information visit the University's website.
