It's worn off since then! A.S.: I'm trying to recapture the excitement of seeing this pop up in the shuffle. L.K.: I can't feign keyboard-smashes… Go copy and paste whatever I did yesterday. A.S.: Sorry I was busy watching Mon Oncle at My Mind's Eye and … Continue reading
#117 – "O Tannenbaum" (1993)
L.K.: God, my iPod loves having this come up on shuffle. A.S.: Really? I guess your iPod wants every day to be Christmas for you. L.K.: Oh yeah, or at least it did until I had to erase all the music from it. It isn't even a particularly good version of this song though, although it is in fractured phonetic … Continue reading

#114 – "I've Got A Fang" (2001)
L.K.: I think "strange" is really the only word I have to describe this song. A.S.: Oh yeah. Shades of the band's earlier work really find their way into this one, only with a much bigger budget. L.K.: It seems like it's trying too hard though, unlike the more organic weirdness of the earlier stuff. A.S.: You think … Continue reading
#113 – "Processional" (1996)
A.S.: Since the technical title of this song is "Processional", I'll specify that this is the first "Processional" on the House of Mayors EP L.K.: Not gonna lie, this is my favorite of the three processionals that serve as variations on the main theme of the EP's title track. A.S.: I'm not sure if this is my favorite or the … Continue reading
#112 – "AKA Driver" (1994)
L.K.: Oh I was just thinking about this song earlier, in the wake of the Kanye West "Theraflu" debacle. A.S.: Yep. Looks like Theraflu won that one. L.K.: Remember kids, you can have brand names in songs, but you just can't print them. A.S.: The company posted a message saying that they in no way endorsed the song, and then I … Continue reading
A.S.: "I like to watch the sports." L.K.: This isn't going to win any songwriting awards, but damn is it cute. A.S.: John Linnell in a dialogue with himself. Can't go too wrong with that premise. L.K.: He's got a secret desire to be a voice actor, I'm telling you. At least he can do amusing accents. The D puppet from the video is … Continue reading

[audio http://www.tmbg.com/_media/_pod/TMBGPodcast34A.mp3] ["I Can't Hide From My Mind" begins 4 minutes, 19 seconds into podcast.] L.K.: It's kind of a minor song but we still need to radiate the Flans-love today… and all other days, really.

The Cockettes (2002)
A joyful, wild romp through the heyday of San Francisco's national cultural importance, filled with body glitter, feather boas, and important shoes.
The CockettesDirector: Bill Weber
Display Artist: David Weissman, Bill Weber
MPAA rating: unrated
Studio: Strand Releasing
Cast: as themselves): Dusty Dawn, Goldie Glitters, Fayette Hauser, Jilala, Michael Kalmen, Sylvia Miles, Kreemah Ritz, Pamela Tent-Carpenter, John Waters, Holly Woodlawn
First date: 2002
US Release Date: 2002-06-28 (Limited release)
Oh, to be young and queer-ish and bohemian and on welfare and in San Francisco in 1970. To be draped in feathers and glitter, to live in a commune filled with like-minded drama queens, to fuck everybody in sight (boy, girl, or something else entirely) in a pre-AIDS flurry of musky activity. To think of Lenin as a sex symbol without a trace of irony, to barter and steal everything from loaves of bread to fake eyelashes, and to honestly believe, in a post-Woodstock, pre-Rocky Horror world, that to give a man a makeover was to change his soul forever. If only we were all Cockettes.
The Cockettes, directed by David Weissman and Bill Weber, is a skillfully blended documentary that does as much to set the social and political landscape of Vietnam-era counterculture America as it does to explain the rise and eventual fall of The Cockettes, a super-queer, often-naked performance troupe that set San Francisco aflame but was all too quickly doused out by New York, drug overdoses, and AIDS -- in that order. Using a remarkable collection of vintage film footage and recent interviews with the surviving Cockettes, Weissman and Weber do more than just loan access to this mythologized time/place that played such a pivotal part of the queer liberation movement in San Francisco; they also give a respectful space to the ideal that guided not just the hippie movement in general, but the motley crew that comprised the Cockettes: if we're just really, really cool, everybody else will be, too. Gotta love the philosophies of the naive, or at least the really baked.
The Cockettes were clearly both. As proud of their recreational drug use as their gender-bending, the Cockettes met, loved, fought, fucked, and performed on drugs. Always. Early fan John Waters calls them "hippie acid-freak drag queens," and one of the Cockettes refers to her own drug-induced performances as "dabbling in the dark arts." It's hard to consider rarely rehearsed, always-flawed, frequently incomprehensible song and dance routines with titles like "Gone With the Showboat to Oklahoma," performed in the kind of thrift store headdresses that would make RuPaul and Liberace engage in a real WWF Smackdown, "dark," let alone "art," and yet somehow, the Cockettes pulled all this off, and more. LSD made their world go around, as surely as communal living and poverty inspired their creativity.
Their roots are certainly humble: spending all their welfare checks on make-up, third-hand clothing, and drugs, and wanting desperately to go to the local alternative movie house, they began performing as the Cockettes (named, tongue firmly in cheek, for the famous Rockettes) in exchange for free admittance to underground films. They were led by Hibiscus, the "Jesus Christ with lipstick" who eventually left the group to form the Angels of Light Free Theater, and eventually the group moved from an accidental audience of film-going stoners too high to recognize that real genderfuck is more than slipping a dress onto a boy, to international recognition in newspapers and magazines like Rolling Stone.
In other words, they started getting paid for what they did; their downfall was as inevitable as the failure of the trickle-down economic theories that firmly nailed the lid on the coffin of the '60s idealism that spawned people like Hibiscus in the first place.
The ending of the Cockettes, like the ending of The Cockettes, isn't surprising. But it's still a hard dose of conservative American reality: the group members go their separate ways after a humiliating run in New York City (where they are hammered with review headlines like "Having no talent is not enough!"), take off their feathers, get jobs in the straight world, stop smoking and shooting up everything that isn't nailed down, and watch in disgusted fascination as Hibiscus, the anti-capitalist genderqueer, starts wearing Armani suits and settles down, kept by a New York City finance guy. He ultimately dies, in the early '80s, of AIDS. Nothing's shocking, so they say, but it's no less sad for its predictability.
The Cockettes might come off as more than a bit nostalgic, but not without good reason. As much as it documents the rise and fall of the Cockettes, it documents the rise and fall of a way of life, of a belief that simplicity, kindness, strong drugs and stronger hair gel could really change the world. The truly libratory potential of the Cockettes -- epitomized by troupe member Sweet Sue when she says that, in contrast with the men's gender performance, "the women were not trying to be perfect women. We were going beyond that" -- was never fully realized. But it's clear that they were part of a strong tradition of gender play that now includes drag kings, not just queens, and transgendered, as well as transsexual, people. The Cockettes is a joyful, wild romp through the heyday of San Francisco's national cultural importance, filled with body glitter, feather boas, and important shoes.

For the purposes you suggest, it would probably be just fine. You do have an error though; import() will be called with the package name (which is needed for inheritance but you probably don't care about it) so you'll need to shift it off of @_ or your sub will always die.

You Don't Own Me
How Mattel v. MGA Entertainment Exposed Barbie's Dark Side
Our Retail Price:£20.00Add to Basket
The question of whether our ideas are our own or our employer's set off the greatest toy war of our time.
When Carter Bryant began work on what would become the billion-dollar line of Bratz dolls, he was taking time off from his job at Mattel where he designed outfits for Barbie. Later, back at Mattel, he sold his concept for Bratz to rival company MGA. Orly Lobel reveals the colourful story behind the ensuing decade-long court battle.
This entertaining and provocative work pits MGA against Mattel, shows how an idea turns into a product and explores the two different versions of womanhood represented by Barbie and her rival. Lobel's story is a thought-provoking contribution to the debate over creativity and intellectual property as American workers may now be asked to sign contracts granting their employers the rights to and income from their ideas.
"At its core, You Don't Own Me is an exploration of a relatively dry topic: the intellectual property regime. Yet in the hands of Lobel… this case study in who should benefit from an employee's creativity becomes something of a page-turner." — Financial Times
"You Don't Own Me is an extended case study that's fascinating and consequential thanks to Lobel's storytelling skill. Through her descriptions of flamboyant personalities and outrageous corporate scheming, she elevates the story of a protracted legal case into a page-turner that holds up a lipstick-pink mirror to both American consumer culture and corporate misbehaviour." — Times Higher Education
"In a crisp, conversational style, Lobel plots the twists and turns of the unfolding court cases. […] Lobel tells a vivid tale of corporate war." — Times Literary Supplement
Winner — Thorsnes Prize, 2018

Brad Evans can do it all.
After a monster week, which has some pushing for his recall to the USMNT, the Seattle Sounders midfielder/defender captured his first career MLS Player of the Week award as voted by the North American Soccer Reporters. (See how the media voted here.)
First, he filled in at both right back and central defense in a 0-0 tie against Real Salt Lake last Wednesday. Then after putting in the defensive work that helped earn a shutout for a 10-man Sounders side in midweek, Evans returned to his usual midfield role against FC Dallas on Sunday and scored the Sounders' first two goals en route to a 3-1 win.
He becomes the fourth Sounders player to win the award after Eddie Johnson (Week 22 and 27) and David Estrada (Week 2).
And while many are wondering whether Evans will be back in the USMNT after he was a late addition to the January camp roster, Evans has bigger things on his radar during the upcoming playoffs, where the Sounders will face Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference semis.
"I think we are hungry more than anything," Evans said after Sunday's match. "We can compete with anybody, and we have shown that throughout the year. For us, I think that we are confident, but we aren't overconfident. I think we are playing with our backs against the wall and a chip on our shoulder. We are not overconfident, but I know the players we have, and I am confident with what we can do."

Welcome! Our small team at Disability Awareness in Action (DAA) extends a very warm welcome to disabled people, organisations controlled and run by disabled people (DPOs) and their allies.
A very warm welcome to you all!
· To all our new readers who are part of the Disability LIB family – the DPOs and individuals across the UK who are in the mighty struggle for rights and social change.
· Welcome to all our old friends who used to read the Disability Tribune – we are delighted to be with you again. We have the money for the Our Rights e-bulletins from our alliance with Disability LIB.
Welcome to our first e-bulletin, which will introduce who we are, what we do and what we hope to achieve. We are always happy to hear from disabled people and their allies on the issues raised. Contact us by email or via the website.
Please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Who we are
We are a small team of disabled people working in collaboration with disabled people's organisations and with partners of the Disability LIB project http://www.disabilitylib.org.uk/
What we do
DAA is committed to sharing information and resources on the human rights of disabled people. Our aim is to give disabled people and their organisations information and resource links to help them take effective action for themselves.
We seek to inform and share concerns, we want to celebrate and share success. We are also aware of failures and shortfalls, and of examples where the law or government policy does not seem to work in our interest. We report on that as well!
Our Rights
Our Rights is a regular monthly e-bulletin. We provide information on human rights issues as they affect disabled people across the world, from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of different impairments. We give updates on policy and the law. We will give you evidence to support your rights – evidence of good and bad practice, evidence that comes from you. We want to build our strengths – together!
What we want to achieve
We are working towards fundamental social change and a better society for all. DAA believes that disabled people can use the law and the framework of human rights as a tool. This means we want to use the ideas behind the law to argue for a better world, in which to live. " A seed of information can lead to a groundswell of action."
This action has to come from disabled people themselves. We can increase our impact on social change by joining together. We are very excited at being able to use DAA's network with disabled people all over the world – to play a part in fulfilling our objectives towards the Disability LIB project (details below). Working in solidarity with each other we will achieve more and gain from the commonality of our experience.

Funding Crisis
As many organisations have known all too well these past few years, a serious funding crisis has affected many activities aimed at realising better lives for disabled people.
Six organisations of disabled people and Scope have formed an alliance and secured a £4.2million funding grant from the Big Lottery fund
capacity build 200 Disabled People's Organisations. The idea of this project is that the funding crisis can be reduced by increasing information, capacity and effectiveness and wants to go far beyond the 200 DPOs to make their materials and information available to all.
This alliance is called Disability LIB (Listen Include Build). The aim is to confront discrimination and disablism, and to secure the full and equal rights of disabled people. Disability LIB will provide disabled people's organisations with information, advice and support that will enable them to be more effective, and to play a full part in achieving their aims .
The project has its own website and central office. www.disabilitylib.org.uk

Buiding on our success – Your involvement sought
This is an example of DAA success and how " A seed of information can lead to a groundswell of action.":
"Disability Tribune has had some real successes over the years, including the Global Rights Campaign where we asked you to tell us about your lives. We were inundated with your stories and once gathered together they made an extremely powerful document which we delivered personally to the UN Human Rights Commission on the 3rd December 2001. We are certain that this document influenced the decision to begin the elaboration process for a UN Convention protecting the rights and dignity of disabled people."
We need to keep the pressure on. Our personal stories are powerful.
Please contact us with your stories on the experiences of disabled people, of how society continues to discriminate and stories of unfair treatment or abuse of our human rights: email@example.com
UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People
UN Convention in Easy Read
The full name of this agreement is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. We call it the Convention on the Rights of Disabled People. It sets out what countries have
to do to make sure that disabled people have the same rights as other people. The basic ideas are that disabled people are free to make their own choices, to be included in society as everyone else and are to be respected for who they are. Governments must make sure it does things so that our rights are protected.
The dawn of a new era.
"Today promises to be the dawn of a new era, an era in which disabled people will no longer have to endure the discriminatory practices and attitudes that have been permitted to prevail for all too long. This Convention is a remarkable and forward-looking document." UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan

UN Convention Campaign Coalition
Organisations have formed themselves into a coalition to bring political pressure and work to ensure early – and full – commitment from the UK government. They call for all interested groups to join together to campaign for 'ratification without reservations'. Further information can be found at
House of Lords discusses Convention We have on record, that disabled people's organisations are crucial in realising rights, and will be involved when the government takes forward not only the convention but the whole range of disability-related policies. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200708/ldhansrd/text/80709-0001.htm
Disabled by society …. Our stories: Forced interventions
Disabled people have long been undergoing a range of therapy, treatment and forms of interventions. I myself have enjoyed the benefits of an Australian Physiotherapist (who looked like he had escaped from the set of a famous TV soap), have received emergency hospital interventions, and am pleased with latest developments in a range of pain management regimes. I chose and agreed to these interventions. They are provided not as a means to 'correct' impairment, but upon my request and in a way that leaves me in control. The picture is very different for many disabled people, people living in residential homes, survivors and users of Psychiatry, people with learning difficulties and older people who experience much reported systematic abuse or neglect.
The fact is, today, tomorrow and the next day, many interventions continue in the UK and world-wide, which are cruel or degrading, even torture to disabled people. Disabled people and their allies have been trying to close down a residential school that uses electric shock as a form of punishment for young people with Autism. This intervention is used to punish or 'correct' the children. Young people with Autism were also forced to listen to loud static through a helmet. DAA collects and catalogues evidence of such treatment, and any human rights abuses experienced by disabled people. We invite you to contact us with your stories. Email: email@example.com
Article 11 forced interventions
A paper by Tina Minkowitz explains why disabled people argue so strongly against any form of forced interventions. The context within which 'treatment' or interventions that are meant to be 'good for us' takes place is often one of an imbalance of power between the professional or expert and the disabled person. This power disadvantage is in-built into the system of 'treatment and care', that assumes that our impairments are a deficit and need to be corrected. http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/enable/rights/art11suppl.htm
Forced Treatment even in your own home?
The UK Government's Mental Health Act 2007 introduced the idea of providing forced interventions not only in hospitals, but also in the community. These alarming measures extend forced treatment beyond hospital. They are called Compulsory Treatment Orders. This means that even more power is given to professionals. Far-reaching powers can specify a treatment regime even into the person's own home. It
gives powers to decide on and limit their lifestyles, for example, forcing them to take certain medicine, or saying what time they have to be in at night. In Ireland campaigners want their law changed (see below).
Easy Read guide to compulsory treatment orders is given in this link
Mental Health Petition
Activist Mary Maddock, psychiatric survivor and founder-member of MindFreedom Ireland presented her petition to the European Union. She wants the law to be changed, because people with mental health issues can at the moment be forced to take medication. This is an example of a forced intervention. Her petition is entitled 'The Illegality of Ireland's Mental Health Act of 2001 as it Concerns the Forced Use of Mind AlteringDrugs on Unwilling patients.'

Users and Survivors of Psychiatry
"It is now the task of the world community to bring the ideals that are laid out in the Convention into reality." says the World Network of Users and Survivors of Psychiatry in February 2008.
European Countries say how rights are progressing
DAA is contributing to information gathering. On the question of how well the countries are doing in getting on with the Convention, government officials and organisations of disabled people often have conflicting views. A research centre for Human Rights of Disabled People in Finland (VIKE) is conducting a survey on the processes of ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Disabled People in seven European states. The chosen countries are Finland, Germany, Hungary, Serbia, Sweden, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Further details at http://www.kynnys.fi/vike.html
And Finally…
"I am disabled just like I'm female …
Just like I'm Korean
Just like I'm 20 years old
There are no ifs about it.
Yet non-disabled people enjoy summing this up as not having "hope"
(that's their reasoning for why a lot of us are anti-stem cell)
But the thing is…
I have hope– lots of it. …
Hope for justice, pride, solidarity.
I just don't waste my hope on silly things
Like wishing I could walk again."
(extract from a poem by Ms Cripp Chick)
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing from you, do contact us at email@example.com We are proud and excited to be part of this struggle to make all our rights a reality.

Turns out three ugly Miami Dolphins losses in a row aren't exactly a ratings boon for the NFL's national ratings. Who knew?
Ratings for Week 10 are beginning to surface, and one that NFL observers could have seen from three states away indeed came to pass: the "Monday Night Football" game between the Carolina Panthers and the Miami Dolphins drew a 6.2 rating, the fourth-lowest since ESPN began broadcasting games in 2006. (The season's lowest MNF? Titans-Colts, which drew a 6.1.) Locally in Miami, the game drew a 12.1 rating, weak for a local market and well below the 15.6 that the University of Miami/Notre Dame game drew over the weekend.
The ratings issue has hit red-alert status for the NFL, and there are plenty of potential causes: cord-cutting, terrible games and protesting fans rank high on the list. But before opponents of the NFL begin celebrating too much, there are other data points:
• Sunday's Green Bay Packers-Chicago Bears game averaged a 22.4 rating in Chicago and a monstrous 39.5 rating in Milwaukee, strong numbers for a couple of non-playoff-bound teams.
• Seattle's ratings have remained remarkably consistent since the 2013 season, with Thursday night's game against Arizona averaging a 39.3 and a prior game against Washington averaging a 39.9 rating.
• Ratings on Sunday pregame shows are decidedly mixed. Fox's shows are up as much as 5 percent, and NFL Network's pregame show is up 17 percent. On the other hand, NBC's pregame shows are down as much as 7.2 percent, and ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" is down 14.8 percent from 2016 and 25.4 percent from 2015.
Plummeting ratings have raised concerns across NFL front offices and league headquarters, with good reason. Still, the NFL remains the top draw on television by a long shot, and the league's declines are in line with the decline in ratings across all of TV. So while the declines are an indisputable fact, it's not entirely clear whether they're due to the NFL's own actions—permitting protests, scheduling terrible teams in prime slots—or forces beyond the league's control. There's plenty of data for all sides in this story to spin a narrative however they wish.

Pay per minutes VS free chat site
There are two main ways that camming sites get you the clients. There are those who charge the clients for the time they spend on the site and those that offer an opportunity for visitors to interact free with the model with an option of giving a model tips or take her to private room. There are those who charge per minute but also give visitors a chance to chat free with the models.
Each of the models has their advantages and disadvantages to the models in terms of the traffic and the money that eventually lands in their pockets.
Before you start working as a camgirl, you need to decide which is better option for you. Here are some comparisons of the both systems to help you make the right choice.
Traffic to the cam site is determined by several factors such as the marketing effort of the site, costs of the shows and the type of girls that you find on the site. Pay per minute sites targets to a small number of clients that are willing to pay for the services. Therefore, everyone that gets to the site must pay for the period they are logged in.
On the other hand, the free chat sites attract a large pool of visitors and leave it to the models to entice the visitors to pay for the private shows or tips. You are likely to get more traffic to your room and less choosy clients at the free chat site that the paid one. But it does not necessarily mean that you get more viewers who actually pay.
Work to be done to convince the clients
For the models that work in pay per minute sites, there is less to do in terms of convincing the clients to pay. As long as the client has liked your profile and started watching your show or chatting, you are already making some money. It is a great option for beginners who have not mastered the art of attracting and convincing the clients to tip.
On the other hand, you must be smart when it comes to attracting clients to pay for private shows on free chat sites. It is up to you to come up with self-promotion mechanisms to get customers to your private chat. This is a lot harder than the pay per minute site.
Amount of money you get paid from the site
The amount you get from the camming depends on the length of time a client spends chatting with you on the pay per minute cam sites. Many of the sites give you an option for setting the rates that you want but given the competition, most of models set pretty similar rates. It is up to you how much to charge as the model is the one who keeps the clients interested in what you do longer so that you can earn more from them.
When it comes to free chat sites, viewers have no obligation to pay you. You have to entertain them enough to make viewers think that your show was worth or will be worth paying. Despite the hard work of convincing the clients to pay you tips, you may get nothing sometime. However, if you are lucky, you get big bonus tips from a generous tipper in very short time. If your time is limited, you have a better chance of earning more as the model on the pay per minute site.
Pressure on the models
Many models complain about the pressure that they face from some of the sites that they perform. When it comes to pay per minute sites, every single minute that the client spends on your show counts. Therefore, you cannot fool around with the customers. You might feel under pressure to deliver your shows more effectively and fast.
The free sites give model space to play around with their customers before having them pay for private shows. In this model, you are not under pressure to perform as stated. You can afford to fool around and goof as part of the show.
In such sense, working at free site is more laid back.
The biggest problem with free chat sites is the large numbers of people who come for freebies. They want to have some time with the model but are not willing to give anything. It can be frustrating for the models who are trying their best to get tips.
Freeloaders are not necessarily bad if you know benefits of having them behind the scene. Read how to deal with freeloaders.
Pay per minute sites is different. Everyone that gets into the site must pay for the time. This eliminates freeloaders from hanging around the chat rooms.
If you do not want to show your body for free, pay per minutes site is the better option.
The free chat sites give models an option to showcase their bodies and give the prospects a taste of what they offer for the private shows or complete show based on tipping. It is a great way for getting clients. This is not possible on the pay per minute sites. Most of the sites prohibit models to show naked. Finding the balance between free and paid show at free site is crucial as it may make you lose potential clients who would have tipped if they get satisfied by your free show.
Which is the best camming site for a webcam model??
It depends on your experience and goals that you have for the camming.
If you are very experienced and great at convincing clients to pay for the services, consider the free chat sites. Here you can convince them to spend lots of money on you through tipping or private shows.
Beginners who are struggling to make ends meet should go with pay per minute optionas it is easier to make money. It ensures that they get some cash from every client that comes their way. But you have to learn skills to keep customers on the show for long.

Life is unexpected, and fewer things are scarier than when a building collapses without any warning at all, especially if an injury to you or a loved one is involved. That is exactly what happened in Berwick when a woman and her 17-year-old daughter were injured when debris from a building partially collapsed onto their vehicle. Luckily, building collapse accident lawyers Fellerman & Ciarimboli were here to provide legal representation to remedy the situation.
Building Collapse Accident Lawyers
If this type of incident happens again, our Pennsylvania building collapse accident lawyers are here to give you the help you need. We will determine how the building collapsed and secure your desired amount of compensation, so you can pay your medical bills and damages that result from the accident.
How Building Collapses Occur
In most instances, building collapses occur when a construction company has not eliminated the potential risk factors of a demolition or the upkeep of a vacant building or commercial structure is poor. In Berwick, the building that had partially-collapsed was vacant.
There are multiple parties that could be held accountable for failing to address the risk factors of a poor structure that has collapsed. These issues typically fall under premises liability in Pennsylvania. An injured party may be able to file a suit against the building owner, the manufacturer of building materials, or the construction general contractor who is in charge.
When these accidents happen, building codes and industry standards are completely disregarded. It is the property owner's best interests to ensure their building, whether being built, currently in use, or vacant, is up to code. There are a variety of factors that can cause a building to collapse, which include:
- Defective building materials
- Engineering or architectural design defects
- Failure to identify flaws in the building or structure during inspections
- Foundation defects
- Improper maintenance of the building
- Not adhering to design specifications
- Preventable fire
- Water damage
At the very least, there should be an appropriate amount of warning if the building is unsafe or suspected to be unsafe to those inside and pedestrians near the building.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Oliver Knussen' tag.
The main challenge of this project for me is to produce a valid orchestral work of such short duration (~3 minutes), as my music often has an unhurried nature. In the case of my last major orchestral work, it doesn't "get going" until the eighth minute into the 23-minutes piece. In fact, there are very few larger ensemble works of <4 minutes duration by other composers that I feel are musically satisfying on their own. Off the top of my head, I can think of John Adams' Short Ride in a Fast Machine and either of Oliver Knussen's Two Organa.
I like to construct my music using limited amount of raw materials. For this short piece I am concentrating on two simple ideas, a zigzag melodic shape and an accelerating rhythmic motif. The overall structure is straight forward: one main build-up with a short coda.
Last night as I was taking a break from drafting the opening of Xocolatl, I looked at the 'Top 25 Most Played' on my iTunes and discovered Lukas Foss appeared five times and topped the list. Bach, Mozart, Purcell, Ravel, Ella Fitzgerald and Bill Evans were close contenders, but according to the statistics, it was Foss's music that I kept returning to – either when I felt uninspired, or just listening out of pleasure. After all, it was on hearing his Baroque Variations and Renaissance Concerto (sadly only on recording) that I realised composing was what I wanted to do.
The music of Lukas Foss is rarely heard in the United Kingdom. Even in his 'native' America (he was born in Berlin and moved to the States in 1937), not many of his pieces are played on a regular basis, with the exceptions of the early Three American Pieces (1944) and Capriccio (1946). These are nice pieces, and certainly deserved to be played. But his best works – the glorious, Coplandesque secular cantata The Prairie (1938); the achingly lyrical second solo biblical cantatas Song of Songs (1946); the spiky and yet sumptuous Time Cycle (1960); the riotously imaginative Baroque Variations (1968); the complex, semi-aleatoric Echoi (1963), Cello Concert (1966) and Non-Improvisation (1967); the dramatic and ironic American Cantata (1975); the strange, out-of-this-worldly Elytres (1964), The Fragments of Archilochos (1965), Geod (1969) and Quintets for Orchestra (1979); the minimalistic Solo (1981) and Solo Observed (1982); the poetic Three Airs for Frank O'Hara's Angel (1972) and Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird (1978), the playful Tashi (1986); an outstanding quartet of concerti writing in 1980s and 1990s – Renaissance Concerto (1986), Clarinet Concerto (1988), American Landscapes (1989) and Concerto for the Left Hand (1995) – are seldom played.
I always thought composing was not something that can be taught; and when I approached Lukas Foss for lessons, he confirmed that. I have learnt so much more about composing by studying his scores, listening to his music, reading/listening to him talking about inspirations (and sometimes the techniques too). When I asked him about what he considered to be a musical idea, his reply was simply 'an idea is a surprise that makes sense'. This saying alone has served me well as a composer in the past ten years.
Like all composers who have an equal standing in conducting (Adès, Benjamin, Bernstein, Boulez, Maderna, Knussen and Schuller to name a few), Foss's choices of pieces were often unusual and never short of surprises. I studied his programming strategy closely and often found new, interesting connections – may that be historical, intellectual, musical – between these pieces, and often, with non-musical subjects as well.
Prommers had the chance to hear his Time Cycle in 2000 performed by Rosemary Hardy, London Sinfonietta and Oliver Knussen; it remained the only high profile outing of his music in recent years in the UK, and the one and only time his music featured at the Proms, although he was invited to contribute a variation to the Bright Cecilia: Variations on a Theme by Purcell for the Last Night of the Proms 2002; in the end, he did not write it. He told me he simply cannot do it. No work had come from his pen works since For Aaron (2002), and I hate to think Lukas had stopped writing.
I suspect the unpopularity of Lukas Foss's music lies in the fact that he is a composer whose music is difficult to pigeon-hole, as eclecticism is often frown upon in serious concert music. But if you, as I quote the title of George Michael's 1990 album, listen without prejudice, I hope you will find the bewildering depth and wealth of imagination in this kind, inspiring musician fascinating as I do.
If you have not heard his recordings of Bach's keyboard concerti or Mozart's chamber music, go and get them. They are truly amazing.
p.s. If anyone is interested in hearing any of Foss's pieces, please leave a comment, or drop me a line; I will be more than happy to share them with you.

Teruel Cathedral, Spain
The sun shines brightly on the ornate Teruel Cathedral in the city of the same name, located in eastern Spain. An exceptional example of Mudejar architecture, the cathedral dates back to 1171 when Teruel itself was founded by Alfonso II of Aragon. Originally constructed in Romanesque style, it was later much renovated at the end of the 1200s to fit the Mudajar style, with further modifications in the 1300s, by Jozaff the Morisco (a term used to describe Muslims who were forcibly converted to Christianity but who often still secretly practiced Islam). As this cathedral is one of the best examples of Mudajar architecture in Spain, it is of great interest to historians, architects and scholars – but also those who are searching for great beauty. The inside of the cathedral is just as beautiful as the outside; the ceiling is of particular beauty. For clarification, Mudajar is the term used to describe the Moors or individual Muslims who remained on the Iberian Peninsula after the famed Reconquista by the Christians. As they did not convert, they developed their own culture and style, of which many buildings remain to this day.

HCM CITY – With its sound and dynamic investment environment, the southern province of Bình Dương has remained the choice of many investors from all over the world.
The province reported on Wednesday that it has so far attracted more than 2,800 projects from 59 countries and territories worth US$25.6 billion.
Trần Thanh Liêm, chairman of its People's Committee, said a lot of effort has been made to improve the investment environment and infrastructure, and so the province has become an ideal destination for companies.
South Korea is the third biggest investor with nearly 600 projects valued at nearly $2.4 billion.
Its investments continue to surge with Kolon Industries Inc Group announcing plans to set up operations.
On Wednesday the company signed a memorandum of understanding with the People's Committee for building a large plant that will manufacture tyre cord, air bags and other automobile parts in the province's Bàu Bàng Industrial Park.
It also signed a contract to lease 42ha with Becamex IDC Corporation, the IP owner, on the same day.
According to the MoU with the province, the company will invest over $600 million by 2026 in two phases.
Park Dong Moon, CEO of Kolon Industries, revealed that his company ad scoured Southeast Asia for two months before settling on Bàu Bàng.
It will be the third plant in the IP to produce automobile tyre cord after two others owned by Chinese and South Korean companies.
Park said the plant would have a capacity of 6,000 tonnes per month and be his company's largest plant anywhere.
It would help the company achieve its goal of becoming the biggest tyre cord maker globally, he said.
The plant will go on stream in the middle of 2018 and its products will be exported to many countries.
Kolon Industries has interests in many industries including garments, construction and trading.
In Việt Nam the company has a car air bag plant in Bình Dương it set up at a cost of $15 million. It is now running above capacity and will be expanded. VNS

text: 3 Megapixel cameras make quality digital photography more easy, more funBerlin, 3 February 2003 - Sony Europe has today announced three new Cyber-shot digital still cameras that will make digital photography more accessible than ever. The three new models, the DSC-P32, DSC-P52 and DSC-P72 pack in more pixels and more features than their predecessors. They all offer 3 Megapixel image quality, produce stunning images in a diverse range of conditions and are easy and fun to use. The cameras are also amongst the first Sony products to be compatible with Memory Stick PRO*, which extends their data capacity up to 1GB.Akihiro Nishikawa, Director Sony Digital Imaging Europe, commented: "Anyone who might be nervous about making the step to digital photography should try the new Cyber-Shot range. They are 'point and shoot' cameras that allow you to be spontaneous and take shots of real quality, whatever the conditions and, when printing the quality is perfect." Picture perfectPicture quality, contrast and colour rendition are all superb across the range, and the cameras produce high quality prints. The 3 Megapixel resolution gives printed photographs a quality that matches analogue photography (up to standard 10 x 15cm) and allows users to zoom in tighter and crop to get the shots they want. The 14 bit DXP system plus Super HAD CCD combine to produce excellent image detail and stunningly smooth contrast and colour rendition. The new Smart Zoom function allows users to get closer to their subjects without sacrificing image quality. The camera intelligently adjusts the ratio of zoom based on the resolution of the image, achieving zoom ratios of up to 3.2x VGA for the DSC-P32, up to 6.4x VGA for the DSC-P52 and up to 9.6x VGA for the DSC-P72. More stamina, more featuresThe cameras are supplied with 2 AA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and capacity has been increased by 30% over predecessors. For the DSC-P32, this produces stamina of up to 2 hours 40 minutes, which is equal to 320 shots under normal conditions. The cameras are packed out with photographic features giving users everything they need to take great shots every time. New Scene Selection modes mean that perfect shots can be taken in even more types of difficult conditions without having to think about the camera set up. The new modes, "Snow", which protects white from appearing too grey and "Beach", which preserves the blue of the sea, are added to the existing "Twilight", "Twilight Portrait" and "Landscape."Thanks to a number of improvements in the flash operation, the cameras are more intelligent in making adjustments to light conditions. A new exposure warning means you always have the right exposure. The camera will detect the exposure level before taking the shot and a warning blink appears if it is not enough. Slow Synchronized Flash operates at a slow shutter speed for shooting foreground objects in twilight backgrounds, giving clarity to the background as well as to the foreground. Auto Daylight Synchronised Flash automatically measures the exposure level for foreground objects, which have light behind them, and Flash White Balance will adjust for the correct white balance in colourful shots.Many improvements have been made to make the cameras more easy and quick to use so that shots can be taken swiftly with minimum fuss. Start-up times have been reduced to one or two seconds and shutter time intervals are around one second. Newly designed control functions mean that the cameras can be operated by little more than the touch of a thumb.The Burst Mode takes two shots in rapid succession, doubling the chances of acquiring those once-in-a-lifetime shots. The camera uses a buffer memory to temporarily speed up data transmission between shots and is ideal for sports, action and wildlife photography.Movie magicUsers can capture far more than stills of their favourite moments with the MPEG Movie VX function, which makes it possible to make movies with sound in VGA quality. When used with Memory Stick PRO*, the camera has up to a staggering 1GB memory, allowing approximately 22 minutes of movie recording.The new Sony Cyber-shot range, the DSC-P32, DSC-P52 and DSC-P72, will become available across Europe during March and April 2003. * Memory Stick PRO Media is an optional accessoryAbout Sony Europe:Sony manufactures audio, video, communications and information technology products for the global consumer and professional markets.

Linux Treasures: 11 Sublime Native Linux Apps That Will Make You Want To Switch
Why should you use Linux? To use some of the best applications made for any platform. If you don't believe me, here's a list of great Linux apps.
You can find all of these in the default Ubuntu repositories, and likely in the repositories of whatever Linux distro you use.
FocusWriter: Beautiful, Distraction-Free Writing
Almost every job requires that you spend at least some time writing, but it's a hard thing to do in the web era: distractions are everywhere. Focuswriter helps by blocking everything else on the screen. Even better: you can set up a gorgeous background, giving you a calm place to focus on what you need to do.
If you're looking for an easily customizable distraction free writing app FocusWriter - Minimalist, Distraction-Free & Beautiful Text Editor Read More , you found it.
Pithos: The Best Looking Pandora Client, Period
We've highlighted some great Linux radio apps, but none come close to Pithos. This Pandora client is the best we've seen on any platform.
You can see what's playing, complete with album art, and even see (and edit!) what's coming up. There are some great Mac apps for listening to Pandora The Best Mac Apps For Listening To Pandora Love Pandora, but not in your browser? Here are the best Mac apps for the job – regardless of whether you're a Pandora One subscriber. Read More out there, but nothing quite as nice as Pithos is on Linux.
Zim: Your Personal Desktop Wiki
Evernote is all well and good, but if you really want to organize your thoughts in a way that's easy to browse later it's hard to beat a personal wiki. And Zim is possibly the best personal wiki software out there Zim: An Easy To Use Desktop Wiki For Your Life & Everything Read More .
How useful this is for you will depend completely on how you use it, of course, but this app is seriously useful for organizing your life.
GPodder: Possibly The Best Podcast App Out There
If you're a podcast fan, you know how frustrating the search for a decent podcast client can be. The assumption seems to be everyone is using iTunes, so why bother? That's not the way the gPodder team thinks, and we're grateful.
This program is the best way to manage your podcasts on any platform Manage Your Podcasts Easier With The gPodder App Looking for the best way to manage and sync your favorite podcasts on Linux? Stop looking. With a simple user interface, built-in syncing to iPod, MTP and file-system based devices, and an online service for...

Music Player Daemon: Amazing Lightweight Music Player
This one isn't easy to use – it's kind of a bitch to set up, actually. But once you get it working, it feels like magic – especially if you have a device with it attached to your stereo.
Music Player Daemon (MPD) isn't like other music software: it runs in the background on your computer, and can be controlled with a number of different clients. Some of these clients are graphical, others are command-driven. The real fun: a client on one computer can control the daemon running on another computer. Imagine a Rapsberry Pi hooked up to your stereo Turn An Old Amp Into A Smart Streaming Speaker With Raspberry Pi The ultimate self-contained music streaming speaker, with support for Spotify, Google Music, SoundCloud and Airplay. Let's do it. Read More , which you can control using any other device in your house.
If this sound interesting to you, check out the documentation. It's a little hard to get started with, but the results are worth it: this is the best music player out there for Linux.

Keep one around—you never know when it might come in handy.
FBReader: A Simple EBook Reader
When it comes to ebook reading software, most apps try to way too much. FBReader is a refreshing exception to this rule, offering you the ability to read books and not much else.
Seriously: I wish I could find something this simple for Mac, but I can't. Happily it's available for Linux.
Minitube: Beautiful, Fast Interface for YouTube
Search for something on YouTube, get instant results. Then watch all of them. Minitube is a simple thought executed well, and is great for older computers that struggle with flash.
It's the best way to watch YouTube videos MiniTube - An Entirely New Way to Watch YouTube [Mac & Linux] Read More . And yes, it is available on Mac and Window for a price—but the Linux version is free.
Package Managers: The Best way to Install Software
Whether it's from the command line or a GUI tool like Synaptic (pictured), package managers are the best way to install a bunch of software quickly—and get all of your updates from one central program. Windows and Mac have their app stores, sure, but those closed ecosystems can't match Linux package manager's flexibility. You can add additional repositories to install software from unofficial sources. You can install multiple programs by typing a single command, or by checking them off in a list.
Every distro comes with its own package manager, but all of them are miles ahead of what's out there for other systems.
What Else? Let us Know
I could go on. Most of the default apps that come with ElementaryOS, a minimalist Linux distro Elementary OS Freya: The Next Major Update To A Rising Linux Distro Now, we're getting a glimpse at the first beta of the next released, codenamed "Freya".

Part One
The Kickapoo Pioneer sounded desperate. Faced with a rising antislavery movement that had a provisional government for Kansas already in operation, a constitution written and soon up for ratification, a secret military order revealed, and well-heeled Yankees footing their bills, its pages called the situation a crisis. The abolitionists threatened to undo all the proslavery good that Kansans and Missourians had managed. The South had the men and boldness to step up and save things, but proslavery Kansas could not do it alone.
George Brown reported all of this in the November 17 Herald of Freedom, adding in his own commentary:
the editor brays piteously for help. Power is departing. The handwriting is seen upon the wall. Pro-slavery men, do come immediately to Kansas, and rally around the black flag, else all your hope will perish, and all your money will be lost which you have expended in sending enemies into Kansas to wrest from the "abolitionists" their liberties. The fertile plains of Kansas are literally black with opponents of slavery. They come in wagons, they come by steamboats, they throng our public thoroughfares, they are seen in every department of life, and something must be done to stay the tide-this avalanche of Freedom, else all, all is lost.
Brown knew how to gloat, even if all the antislavery party had done in Kansas rested on the weakest legal foundations. No Congress authorized the free state movement. So far as the law cared, Wilson Shannon and the legislature stolen fair and square back in March governed the territory. But he could turn the Pioneer's distress to his own purposes. Antislavery whites beyond Kansas' borders could read from his piece that whatever they had heard, Kansas had a clear future as a free state. Thus the more cautious might hazard it instead of Nebraska.
Twice Brown invokes blackness and both times he does it on multiple levels. To nineteenth century Americans, the black flag meant no quarter and war to extinction. Pirates, the enemies of all mankind, flew the black flag. So did guerrilla bands. By tying the flag to proslavery men, Brown named them as similarly enemies to all and asserted that they would not have any scruples about any atrocity that would secure their goals.
The black flag bore the imagined color of the slave and Brown painted Kansas that hue with antislavery people as well. In the nineteenth century, you called your opponents black to associate them with evil. They used negro as a neutral term for African-Americans. Calling opponents of slavery black thus constituted a kind of double slur, first tying them to evil and then proclaiming them like unto both in a way inferior to enslaved people. Therefore, proslavery Americans could twice damn the emerging antislavery party as "Black Republicans". By turning the insult back on them, Brown essentially said that not only did freedom prevail but also imply that it lived up to all the fears that it augured to the proslavery mind. The white South could rush to Kansas if they liked, but they would find a territory already lost to them.
This confidence opens Brown to the charge that he, like the Pioneer, wrote to solicit for aid from abroad. Brown's piece accompanies a profile, with a picture, of Ely Thayer. It carries with it a confidence that Brown probably did not feel as fully as he let on, given the late exposure of the Kansas Legion. If the free state movement had made progress, then it remained an illegal group that had essentially declared itself legal and asked Kansas to agree. That Kansans did agree in large numbers did not erase those Kansans who did not, nor their allies in Missouri. If Brown did not nightly expect that a proslavery posse would ride to his doorstep and arrest him for his antislavery publications, then he had to know that it could happen. Should it come to pass, then he would either go quietly or unpredictable violence might ensue. Maybe he had ice water for veins, or sufficient confidence to laugh off the real threats, but his gloating carries at least a hint of trying too hard.

"I didn't really plan on being a solo artist, I just wrote a bunch of songs..." Grant Nicholas
When Feeder's Grant Nicholas dropped into 363 Oxford Street to perform an acoustic session for us, we grabbed him for a quick chat afterwards to talk about making his new LP.
Asked why he'd decided to go solo now, he said: "I didn't really plan on being a solo artist, I just wrote a bunch of songs and it just kind of turned into my first solo album!". He also talked about how different it's been playing live shows with the new, more intimate songs, and how he found it putting together a new backing band after all these years with Feeder.
Watch the interview in full below!
Yorktown Heights is out now and avaialable from our download store and from your local hmv

Gary Bowyer will keep a close eye on the development of John O'Sullivan after the youngster went back out on loan.
The attacking midfielder has joined League One side Barnsley on a month-long deal until the 21st March.
This will be the third loan move for the 21-year-old, after playing for Southport last season and Accrington Stanley for four months this campaign.
"John was eager to get back out on loan so we've initially done it for a month so we are covered on that scale," said the Rovers boss.
"It is a philosophy of mine in terms of getting the kids out and playing league football as quickly as they can.
"John has gone through the Conference to League Two, and now to League One, so hopefully we can measure him in that which is obviously closer to Championship football."

Prescription Drugs Kill 6200% More Americans than Homicidal Shootings
December 16th, 2012
And how many of the homicidal shooters were also on drugs? We don't hear much about this in the mainstream news, do we? Where are our priorities?
"In the aftermath of the Aurora, Colorado Batman movie theater shooting, President Obama chimed in on the gun control debate yesterday, saying, "Every day, the number of young people we lose to violence is about the same as the number of people we lost in that movie theater. For every Columbine or Virginia Tech, there are dozens gunned down on the streets of Chicago or Atlanta… http://www.washingtontimes.com/…/25/obama-calls-measures-…/
…According to the report Death by Medicine, by Drs. Gary Null, Carolyn Dean, Martin Feldman, Debora Rasio and Dorothy Smith, the medical establishment kills 783,936 people in the United States every year."
What he didn't say, however, is that every day 290 people are killed by FDA-approved prescription drugs, and that's the conservative number published by the Journal of the American Medical Association."
As no one seems to believe these numbers are real, I'll quote the source: The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Vol 284, No 4, July 26th 2000, authored by Dr Barbara Starfield, MD, MPH, of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health.
That study, which is twelve years old — and drug deaths have risen considerably since then — documents 106,000 deaths per year from the "adverse effects" of FDA-approved prescription medications.

Dazzling Dragonfly, Little Dragonflies, Square Basics and Wrapped Stitch Frames by Jean Okimoto
A Persimmon Notecard is the perfect background for a bright summer-into-fall card layered with the Dazzling Dragonfly and Little Dragonflies. This great new color is an eye-opening orange ideal for a simple design created with artpapers cut using dies from the Square Basics and Wrapped Stitch Rectangles sets.
Hi, Jean Okimoto here, with a quick dragonfly card in splashy summer colors. If you obsessively buy/collect/save/hoard beautiful artpapers - but stash them away because they're too pretty to cut into - Memory Box dies are the answer. They cut through handmade, silkscreened, metallic, marbled and embossed papers - like these from Shizen Design - quickly and easily, producing clean edges and sharp corners. The fibers and beautiful textures of these papers won't yield to paper punches - but our dies cut through them as easily as they slice through papers and cardstock.
Dies save time - and minimize wasted paper. Just use the open dies to "frame" portions of the papers to see and select what you'll be cutting. If you're not sure which of two sizes you need to cut, cut the larger size - you can easily trim it with the smaller size if necessary. Rectangle Basics and Wrapped Rectangle Frames are proportioned to cut perfect layers for A-2 cards - and they're great for A-6 and A-7 sizes too.
Cut the floral print and embossed Shizen Design papers with Square Basics dies. Impress at Tukwila recently started selling a select assortment of these fabulous artpapers. I'll be using them for classes as often as I can - especially during the holidays.
Cut turquoise cardstock with a Wrapped Stitch Rectangle. This new set of five dies is quickly becoming a favorite at Impress. It adds so much - in a subtle way - as an accent that doesn't compete with the main elements of a design. We love it!
Cut Dazzling Dragonflies and Little Dragonflies from gold mirror cardstock.
Attach the diecuts to a Persimmon Notecard. Add green gem stickers.
Just a reminder - if you're in the Seattle area, join us for the Impress Holiday Kickoff event this Saturday. Goodie bags to the first 25 people at both stores, a 10% shopping discount, inspiring samples and displays - and Cindi, Whitney and I will be demo-ing or doing make+takes at Tukwila on Saturday morning. View the Memory Box Collection at Impress - and bring your wishlist!
Thanks for stopping by - see you again next week...
