I installed ROS on an old 'Gateway Profile' machine I got from my dad.
It has 127 MB of memory and a AMD K6-2 processor at 200 MHZ
Anyway the system ran perfectly fine for a day until it started giving me the 'blue screen message' in which occured every time I booted the machine or reinstalled the system again. I also tried the latest trunk build at the time.
I know there could be many reasons for this effect but could you help me rule out some options and help me see what I should do. I don't want to put this machine at waste and I'd really like to keep ROS running natively as long as possible.
Oh and I also got my "Logitech MX Revolution" mouse working for a second, though it could oddly only move up and down.
So, my question is, what should I do?

Re: Running on real hardwear
we don't have enough developers to keep up with everybody's real hardware problems. The best you can do is to work out exactly what hardware is in that machine, and go to http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Debugging to grab debug output via serial port.
Re: Running on real hardwear
Thanks, I'll try to get it working again from this.

The Oasis Aquarius is one of the leading indoor plumbed water coolers, dispensing up to 6 litres of chilled drinking water every hour.
The Aquarius is one of the leading indoor plumbed water coolers, dispensing up to 6 litres of chilled drinking water every hour. Using the latest refrigerant technology, and with a patented inside-out cooling probe, your whole staff can enjoy drinking water of below 10 degrees Celsius. The Aquarius plumbed water dispenser is made from a one-piece scratch-resistant plastic casing, which resists damage while looking stylish enough to compliment any office. With the addition of a SIP box you can also ensure that your mains fed water cooler is dispensing only the cleanest of water, through ozone sanitisation which automatically activates for 10 minutes every night.
The Oasis Aquarius mains fed water cooler delivers both chilled and ambient temperature drinking water, dispensed into small plastic cups which are stored conveniently in a tube on the top of the cooler. Not only does this ensure an easy drink, it's also a space-effective and convenient storage option.
The Aquarius plumbed water cooler delivers up to 6 litres of water at a temperature of below 10 degrees celsius every hour, or the equivalent of 65 small drinking cup's worth. With a large 2.2 litre storage tank, you can be sure that even high traffic locations, like offices or schools, will also remain adequately hydrated. The mains fed water cooler uses industry standard R134a refrigerant gas to chill the water, in combination with Oasis's patented inside-out cooling mechanism. This in-water probe chills the water from the inside out, for a more efficient performance and the reduction of rusting, condensation or sweating.
Not only will the Oasis Aquarius water cooler provide water which is refreshingly chilled, it will also provide one of the most hygienic drinks on the market today. An easy to wipe outer casing resists the accumulation of bacteria, preventing the spreading of germs. Similarly, the one-piece drip tray can be taken out and emptied with minimal effort, allowing you to frequently remove any standing water which could host bacteria or dirt.
For additional cleanliness, a separate filter can be installed at the back of the mains fed water cooler, to remove any dirt or impurities from the water before it enters the inner workings of the Oasis Aquarius. On top of this, a SIP box can be purchased and placed inside the water cooler. A SIP box will actively sanitise the Aquarius's reservoir for ten minutes every night, releasing effective but harmless ozone gas, or activated oxygen. This is far more efficient than other UV sanitising components, at a lower price.
The Oasis Aquarius mans fed water cooler is formed from a one-piece blow moulded casing, comprising heavy-duty textured plastic which resists scuffs or abrasions. With a consistent colouring and anti-scratch properties, any marks which do come as a result of accidental knocks will be slight, and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
The plumbed water coolers plastic casing contributes to its lightness, at only 18kg. The Oasis Aquarius is less than a metre tall and 32 cm wide and deep, making it easy to store in locations where space is of a premium, and easy to manoeuvre should you ever need to rearrange the office.

The narration is especially inspired. I'm guessing it's like hundreds of dollars of candy, but then again it is all cheap candy so who knows.
It's so way cooler than anything we came up with when we game (maybe because we'd eat the candy).

Extracurricular activities are totally voluntary and found in all levels of our schools in many different forms such as clubs, sports, debate, school publications, drama, student council, and other social events. CITATION Joh132 l 1033 (Israel, Student Extracurricular Participation, Student Achievement, and School, 2013) These activities are known as participation that does not fall into the kingdom of normal curriculum of schools. Teenager's future is believed to be highly influenced by activities they involve in after schooling hours or before their parents get home. Lunnenburg stated in his article that "Extracurricular activities serve the same goals and functions as the required and elective courses in the curriculum ".Yet, they offer experiences that are not contained within formal courses of study. They allow students to apply the knowledge that they have acquired in other classes and obtain concepts of democratic life." In addition to that, many teenagers actively-involved in extracurricular activities after school have portrayed positive effects on academic achievements such as better grades, school completion , and becoming successful adults. CITATION Mas11 l 1033 (Massoni, 2011).
Several studies have been demonstrated the potential positive impacts of extracurricular activities can have on student achievement. It has the possibility to influence grade point averages, discipline incident rates, and attendance rates. Extracurricular activities also have a tendency to help students develop a positive connection and interest in their school by supporting their social development as well. A study by Silliker and Quirk done in 1997 not only indicated that students who participated in sports had better grade point averages or GPA in general. CITATION Joh132 l 1033 (Israel, Student Extracurricular Participation, Student Achievement, and School, 2013) CITATION Fav12 l 1033 (Favor, March 2012). In the other study by Favor, it was said that participation in extracurricular activities was the driving force behind some students' interest in attending school. CITATION Fav12 l 1033 (Favor, March 2012)Problem statement
Educators nowadays face the ultimate challenge of determining every aspect of what a student should have in order to receive a well-rounded education. It is a challenging task for both teenagers and educators to balance those important needs against the currently available resources of time, money, and energy since school resources are also limited. Teenagers' who have active participation in extracurricular activities drives forces into them to go beyond and be too much involved that unfortunately weakens them from the academic achievements.
The aim of this research is to determine if there is a connection between extracurricular activities and academic performance of teenagers in school or colleges and also to know if is it socially lifting the spirit, confident, behavior and strive to success in academics.

Marketplace Campaign Post Approvals
How long should we expect or is given to brands to accept content once submitted?
I posted a campaign and shortly after received the message that edits needed to be made with the reasoning being ,"This isn't what we want." All campaign guidelines were followed, deal was promoted, etc. I sent the brand a message asking for specifics with no response, so I just went ahead and just expanded upon the brand info and added more photos, noted these changes and resubmitted. This was January 19th, and as of now it is still sitting on pending review. I did reach out to the brand again to ask about this and check to see if there were any more changes, and still no response (that was about a week ago, I believe).
I have completed several other campaigns and most were accepted with 24 hours or so--- a few days at most, so this does not seem to be the norm and has me a little concerned with the lack of response with it over nearly 3 weeks.

Building on my last challenge, my challenge over the next two weeks will be to find a belt to compliment the dress that just bought:
I'm not normally a fan of belts since I'm short-waisted, and I've never found one that actually fits me properly, BUT I do think that this dress needs one otherwise it just looks too shapeless. I'm going to try to find something that matches my original inspiration outfit featured in a spread in Self Magazine:
Now I know that the belt in this picture is from Forever 21, and retails for a very affordable $9, but with a much healthier budget of $40, and no Forever 21 in my city (which I am also not too keen on shopping at anyways because of their current threats of legal action against one of my favourite blogs WTForever 21), I am going to try to find something of better quality made out of real leather (or at least something vintage or a belt that is very nicely constructed out of faux leather…if something looks just as good I would rather not buy a product made out of an animal!).
We'll see what I end up finding, again I have NEVER had luck with belts so this should be a challenge! Wish me luck!

How to Describe Melody - What is Melody - Melody in Music
How to Describe Melody - What is Melody - Melody in Music
How to Describe Melody - What is Melody - Melody in Music? Many people when listening to a piece of music refer to (what is known as) the Melody as the - "Tune". Some even refer to it as the - "Song". To better understand why melody is probably the most important element in "Music", we must first have a clear definition of the word. Before we do that though let us back up just a bit and talk about the definition of the word "Music".
Many scholars and musicologists along with composers and the like have over the years given their definitions of the word "Music". Some of these definitions are lengthy and complicated at best. Let's keep this very simple for what we are doing here. "Music is organized Sounds and Silences". I've been using this definition of simplicity for 50 years while teaching young people because it helps to understand the five basic elements of music:
- Melody
- Rhythm
- Harmony
- Form
- Timbre
If we grasp this concept of the word "Music" as being organized sounds and silences, then it will be easy to understand the explanation or definition of the word "Melody". At this point I'm going to give three definitions of the word Melody from various sources and see which one you find to be the simplest and most logical.
- It is a linear succession of musical tones that the listener perceives as a single entity. It is a combination of pitch and rhythm.
- It is a rhythmic succession of single pitches producing a musical phrase or idea.
- It is a series of notes (pitches) that move in time, one after another.
Each of these definitions is correct. The first definition comes from Wikipedia. The second comes from the Webster dictionary. The third one comes from legendary conductor, composer and educator Leonard Bernstein.
During the 1960's, Mr. Bernstein presented on television, the "Young People's Concerts". A series featuring him and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra where he would spend a great deal of time teaching about the elements of music and using this great orchestra to illustrate his examples to the audience. It was a tremendous series and probably one of the reasons why I pursued music as a career.
Mr. Bernstein's definition of the word Melody is precise and not confusing. The only thing that I would add to his definition would be the word "organized". So, the definition that we will use for Melody here will be as follows: Melody is a series of organized notes (pitches) that move-in time, one after another.
Mr. Bernstein also referred to this most important element of music as the "main course" to a piece of music, or the "meat and potatoes" of a musical composition. And he couldn't have said it better.
Leonard Bernstein
Characteristics of Melody
There are certain words that we use to fully understand Melody. These are called the "Characteristics of Melody".
- Pitch - a certain note with an assigned name.
- Interval - the distance or space between two pitches or notes.
- Shape - describes how the notation looks and sounds. Does it have larger leaps or smaller.
- Phrase - as in language, a block of text that is divided by sentence phrases, a melody may be divided into smaller units called a phrase.
- Direction - the pitch moves vertically while duration moves horizontally.
Listening Exercises
Each of these articles will include listening exercises to develop specific skills in listening to music. As you go through them you may want to go back and listen again at another time. Listening more than once to a piece of music is a great way to develop your ear especially as the exercises get more involved.
Listening to a single melody
Below, is a video example of a single melody titled "Emanuelle". It is being performed by a very famous trumpet soloist - Allen Vizzutti. As you listen to the example, let's focus on the items below as to what to listen for:
- Listen for the length – is it long or short?
- Is the melody simple or complex?
- Is it slow or fast? We
- Does it have shape?
Music Notation
Western art music uses music notation for the purpose of the composer specifying exactly what he or she wants in detail. It is also for the purpose of preserving the work of art for future generations to perform and study.
Western music refers to a "note" as a named pitch. Notes have "pitch" and "value" (length).
Musical Alphabet
Musical notes are organized using a musical alphabet of seven letters. A B C D E F G. When looking at a piano keyboard these will be the white keys.
These letters are represented on a music staff of five lines and for space and used for the written notation and later performances by musicians.
Listening Exercise #2 - America the Beautiful
This next listening example features one of the prettiest and most patriotic melodies that this country owns - America the Beautiful, written by Samuel Ward. This particular arrangement was written by Carmen Dragon, conductor, composer. His treatment for the Symphonic Band, or Orchestra is probably the most famous and widely performed arrangement of this melody. This performance is by the Santa Monica High School Band, and, if I might say, what a most impressive performance!
This piece begins with an eight measure introduction followed by the melody featuring the clarinet section in the lower register of that instrument. As you listen to this example try and focus on just the melody. Very distinctive sound accompanied by block chordal harmony.
After the first time through the melody there is a short transition which includes what we call in music as a "modulation". Mr. Dragon is moving the listener to another "key" or "tonal center" which sets up the melody again for a second playing by the clarinets and adds the flute section with them as well for a contrast in "timbre" or "tone color". The modulation serves as a device to get a fresh look at this melody one more time. Listen to how the melody doesn't change but does have some interesting harmonies and devices accompanying it.
The last part of this concludes with the brass section coming in with a "heroic fanfare" type ending bringing this arrangement to a conclusion.
America The Beautiful arr. Carmen Dragon
Listening Exercise #3 - John Williams
Probably the most famous and respected film score composers today is John Williams and unless you are from another planet or live under a rock, you have probably seen one of the films that Mr. Williams wrote the music for.
The reason for me to use this John Williams Medley is simple. First, it will be very recognizable. Second, I wish you to relax while listening to this medley of music written by John Williams.
- With a pad of paper write down each melody that you hear when it is played.
- What is the medium for performance?
- Listen for the characteristics of melody as they are changing.
I mention again the importance of disciplining yourself to listening with good equipment or at least a good set of stereo headphones. Your ears, brain and soul will thank you. I provided a link for good headphones below.

Hello Reginald. A good article for beginners who want to understand how to listen to any music. When I was taking my O and A level music way back in the later '70s in the UK, I'd write in pencil in the margin just those catagories, Form, Melody, Harmony, Rhythm and Instrumentation, and scribbled by brainstorming ideas down pertaining to the question then rubbed them out before submission. Always worked well!

V-Active assigns links to an element within a full-motion video clip so that when a viewer clicks on the element--a car speeding down a street, for example--a link opens to a text file, a sound file, a Web site, or other applications.
Instead of mapping the link to the element in each frame of the video, the developer can assign the link in the first frame of a sequence and V-Active automatically tracks it from frame to frame, according to the company.
The V-Active 1.0 suite consists of the main authoring environment, an ActiveX control for viewing hyperlinked video with Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and above, a Netscape Communications plug-in for viewing with Netscape Navigator 3.0 and above, and a Director Xtra for integrating hyperlinked video into Macromedia Director projects.
The V-Active 1.0 suite is available for Windows 95 and NT for $695. An Apple Computer Macintosh version is due in late 1997.

Thank you all for your reply.
In fact, what I meant by use cases is examples of troubleshooting. For example: We have less of performances in a datastore, so we check its latency, then all related VMs latency till we find the VM that gives the problem then we resolve the issue by moving it. (If that makes sense). I'm looking for that type of scenarios. Any idea please?
Thank you very much.

Staying At Your Ronald McDonald House: A Home When You Need It
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made several updates to our House and Family Room program requirements to protect the health and safety of families. For current requirements, including rules for guests from outside of Illinois, please review the FAQ below or read the latest updates about our programs.
To stay at a Ronald McDonald House, you must be referred by the hospital where your child is being treated. Please contact your hospital's social worker to learn more about the referral process.
Our Houses are places of comfort and rest for families with children (21 and under) in active treatment at nearby hospitals. Our homes are designed for families with children who require:
- Inpatient medical treatment
- Scheduled and recurring outpatient medical visits that require overnight stays
- Fetal healthcare or neonatal intensive care
A Home Away From Home
In times of stress, you need good food, a community of people who understand, a comfortable night's sleep, and a place to be with your family. That's what you get at our Ronald McDonald Houses. Staying with us means:
- A community of parents and families who understand what you're going through
- Freshly made meals provided by caring volunteers
- Clean, comfortable spaces for daily living
- Peaceful spaces to get away
- A quiet place to rest
It might not be home. But we want you to feel like you have a place where you belong.
Our Amenities
We strive to make sure you have everything you need to live comfortably throughout your stay. Our amenities include:
- Comfortable rooms with private or semi-private bathrooms
- Spacious kitchens where you can make your own meals if you choose
- Laundry facilities in the building
- Elevators for easy handicap accessibility
- Music, TV, and other entertainment sources
When you stay with us, it is our goal to make sure you are comfortable. Our volunteers and donors help make it a home.
How to Stay With Us
Ronald McDonald Houses are places of comfort specifically for pediatric children (ages 0-21) and their families who need to stay close while their child is in active treatment. Therefore, the hospital where your child is being treated must refer you.
Our Houses are intended for families who cannot get home to rest, so we accept referrals for families who live a minimum of 10 miles from the hospital where your child is being treated.
Please note, the mileage requirement for the Ronald McDonald House near Lurie Children's and the Ronald McDonald House near Advocate Children's Hospital is 15 miles.
Contact your child's assigned hospital case worker/ social worker for a referral. The social worker will ask you some questions to make sure it is a good fit for you.
If you have any problems finding the right person at the hospital to refer you, please contact our staff who will offer assistance.
The hospital social worker will refer you to the appropriate Ronald McDonald House. House staff will then reach out and confirm your plans and discuss availability.
While we will do our best to accommodate you, we cannot always guarantee a room. If a room is available, House staff will confirm your reservation and make arrangements for your arrival. If not, House staff will add you to the wait list and contact you as soon as a room becomes available.
Unfortunately, we are unable to confirm all future room requests because every family's length of stay is different, and therefore our occupancy availability varies.
Rules and Policies
To ensure the safety and comfort of all our guests, we ask that everyone follow these rules and regulations.

This car is now sold. Click on Other classic cars for sale in the right margin to see our other offerings!
My first car was a white 1966 MGB (got my first Bugeye in 1979, my fourth car). I bought it in 1977 when I was sixteen and I towed it home with a rope behind my friend's mom's Buick Roadmaster station wagon. The engine was seized and even in 1977, after just 11 years on planet earth, the rocker panels were completely gone.
I loved that car, as any high-schooler would, and when I pulled the engine out on a tree in my parent's yard and rebuilt it and it actually ran, I felt like pretty hot stuff. It only ran on two cylinders for at least half a semester, but I didn't mind, the car still got me to school and I was in heaven to have my old English white MGB parked outside.
I'll never forget how the whole world changed the minute I got the second SU carb to work… what a difference running on all four working cylinders made, and now I actually had a capable sports car, and a new world opened up for me, and I have been focused on creating such nirvana for customers nationwide now on a daily basis.
What a joy to find a sister to my old car, and this one with overdrive, and rocker panels and recent paint to boot!
This is a great MGB, and a wonderful example of a metal dash car, and well worth lusting after, with great chrome wire wheels and a Weber downdraft carb, new seats, an electric cooling fan, auxiliary fuel pump, driving lights and a great ride!
The last owner put about 7,000 miles on this car in four years, and it is a strong driver, ready to take you anywhere in vintage style, and also a stunning looker that will illicit thumbs up from the many other motorists on the road who also spent some time in MGs running on two. Only now that you can afford an actual working and rust-free "B like this one," you can smile, keep up with traffic and wave back!
This is an MGB for anyone who was touched by these cars, who wants a great fun classic that is ready to drive across country. I'll post more pictures in the coming days so you can better see this really nice example.
Check out the video test drive below!
Safety fast!

The Consumerist Gets A Tip Jar: Blogging Is Expensive, Or Something
Welcome back to a very Web 1.0 method of paying for news: Shoppers-fight-back blog The Consumerist, formerly of the Gawker network and now owned by Consumer Media LLC/Consumers Union (publishers of Consumer Reports), has launched a tip jar at http://donatetoconsumerist.com.
The bloggers posted last Monday about the change, but we were tipped off today by Folio:.
Co-executive editor Ben Popken writes:
"According to the data dwarfs, we have about 3 million visitors in a month. If everyone gives just $2.002, our blog skills will be unstoppable. For less than the cost of a burnt Starbucks, you can keep Consumerist running longer than Obama will be president. That's change between the couch cushions you can believe in."
We're not exactly sure how the math works out here; it clearly doesn't cost six million a month to run the blog. Six million every four years? If that's the case, then Popken and Meghann Marco may be doing pretty well, finance-wise.
And keep in mind that while Consumers Union has said they have no plans to put Consumerist behind a pay wall, most of Consumer Reports is very walled-off from the rest of the world. Yet another example of a niche market with information that certain subsets of readers find incredibly valuable and thus are willing to pay for.

On the second Sunday of Advent, we light the second purple candle on the Advent wreath.
It is known as Bethlehem Candle, representing LOVE.
But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to be ruler in Israel,
whose origin is from of old,
from ancient days.
Therefore he shall give them up until the time
when she who is in labor has given birth;
then the rest of his brothers shall return
to the people of Israel.
And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great
to the ends of the earth.
And he shall be their peace.
(Micah 5:2-5)

What To Do If You've Been In A California Car Accident
UPDATED: February 17, 2020
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
When you've been involved in an auto accident, it's often difficult to know what to do and what not to do. Barry J. Simon, a California personal injury attorney who has been a tort litigator representing victims against insurance and other large companies for nearly 30 years, provided advice on how to protect all of your interests:
- See a doctor. I think if anybody's involved in a significant accident where they feel injured, they should go see a doctor or to the hospital ER as soon as possible within a day or two of the accident.
- Contact a lawyer. Contact a car accident lawyer immediately because insurance companies will take advantage of them. Victims need to have their rights protected. Unless it's a minor fender bender and they're not really hurt, victims should always call a lawyer right away – at least to get advice about what to do before the insurance companies try to take advantage of their inexperience in dealing with claims.
- Avoid giving statements. Never give a statement until their lawyer is present and should never tell anyone too much until they understand from a legal perspective what the information they provide means.
- Call the police. Always call the police if the accident is significant.
- Collect evidence. Take whatever pictures they can – either with a camera or a cell phone and talk to and get contact information concerning any witnesses. Also, it is important to get information including insurance on the other driver(s).
- Get a free consultation. I offer free consultations all the time. I figure everyone needs help. I'll stay on the phone with somebody for an hour sometimes, because – well, that's what it's all about. Being a lawyer, to me, is not about the money. It's about helping people.

Whether you are a smaller restaurant or a large hotel, we service everyone, fairly.
What is the difference between shisha and BBQ charcoal?
Shisha Charcoal is Made from coconut shell or citrus and burns at a much lower temperature than BBQ, resulting in the easy smoking of a shisha or hookah without inhaling many carcinogens which come from traditional lumpwood BBQ charcoal. The lower temperature of burning allows the tobacco to be gently heated as opposed to being completely burnt quickly.

Michael Keane has explained how Everton shut down his England international team-mate Harry Kane yesterday.
Carlo Ancelotti's Toffees dominated throughout their 1-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Keane praised the contribution of new-boy Allan.
Keane praised the quality of his international captain – having seen him up close in the recent international break but was pleased with how the gameplan worked in terms of keeping him quiet.
"Everyone knows how lethal Harry is. I saw it all last week in training, his finishing is a joke," said Keane to Everton's official website.
"It was important we stopped the ball getting into him and we did that well. The ball he had was limited, especially in dangerous areas.
"Allan is a defender's dream. He is always there on the striker's toes, winning the ball back. He does a lot of running, puts in a lot of tackles.
"It is great to have him there. He was class."
Everton looked every inch a top six side yesterday, with Tottenham seeming like the side with the psychological demons and the work to do to bridge the gap.
Carlo Ancelotti's 4-3-3 system was slick, disciplined and dangerous. It was a far cry from Everton's last visit to Spurs back in July.
Everton have had their defensive woes and keeping a striker as deadly as Kane quiet is no mean feet but they did it with a minimum of fuss.
The key is consistency now, and Everton kick off their EFL Cup campaign against Salford in midweek. The competition represents their most likely chance of a trophy this season.

The New E-Conomy
There is one thing that both our former president and the current occupant of the White House agree on…Amazon is bad for retail.
From President Obama:
Amazon and online sales is killing traditional retail, and what's true there is going to be true throughout our economy.
From President Trump :
Amazon is doing great damage to tax paying retailers. Towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. are being hurt – many jobs being lost!
Beware the idealization of small-town charm. The classic example we always hear is that WalMart came to town and put the Mom&Pop Store out of business. There's a lot of truth to that. The story that rarely gets told though is about the Mom&Pop Makers that never got a good product to the mass market because they couldn't break into the retail chains. So they sold a few items at the Mom&Pop Shop, until Walmart put them out of business, and then Mom&Pop Makers went out of business too.
Amazon (and many other emerging players in the E-marketing space) are changing this dynamic completely. From Wired magazine:
And while online distribution and automation may present certain challenges to traditional retailers, they also create significant opportunities. In fact,almost half of retail sales on Amazon's platform are from third-party merchants who have chosen to sell their wares online instead of (or often, in addition to) through brick-and-mortar stores.
Indeed, the democratizing effect of online platforms (and of technology writ large) should not be underestimated. While many are quick to disparage Amazon's effect on local communities, these arguments fail to recognize that by reducing the costs associated with physical distance between sellers and consumers, e-commerce enables even the smallest merchant on Main Street, and the entrepreneur in her garage, to compete in the global marketplace.
President Obama, recognizing the advance of technology and how it will affect the economy, asks some questions that definitely make my conservative spidey-sense ping:
Which means we're going to have to start thinking about where the jobs come from, and how much government involvement is there in the marketplace, and do we have a job-sharing economy so that everybody has work, because it turns out that work is not just about finances, but it's about dignity and feeling like you've got a place in the world? How do you pay for that? If more and more people are working in the service sector, how do we make sure that they're getting paid enough? In addition to making an argument that, "If you want a better deal, then you better start unionizing and organizing, 'cause otherwise you're going to get screwed," in addition to making the argument that if you're in the service sector right now, you should be fighting for a higher minimum wage 'cause across the board, everybody in the service sector is going to be better off ….
I absolutely hate any language that encourages workers to put their heads in the sand and hope someone will save them. In my own workplace, I work on a large hi-tech account that is trying to navigate a rapidly-changing market. The 400 employees that staff the account mostly seem to be hoping for the best. I gently tell my team to continue to develop their skills, to look for new internal opportunities and to not let optimism lead them to bad decisions. My mantra is, "Don't let your career just happen to you…"
Where I always seem to diverge with liberals is on the level of government intervention they are ready to undertake on any given issue. I'm fairly progressive on things like job skills programs, Pell grants and WPA-style infrastructure programs but I'm rabidly conservative when it comes to unionization, make-work policies and living wages. My biggest fear is that liberal worries over a changing economy will cause them to interfere with an emerging e-commerce market that gives small-time creators the power to access global markets and grow their businesses in ways that were never dreamed of even 10 years ago.
Again from Wired:
Of course, technological and organizational change can disrupt people's lives and livelihoods in unwelcome ways. But hasty regulatory "fixes," which are among the most significant causes of sluggish growth (and thus job loss), are not the answer. Imposing laws and regulations to punish innovators and protect traditional jobs from the perceived threats of the future would stifle productivity, mandate inefficiency, and restrain progress…
It's actually an amazing time to be in the business world, if you aren't scared to look forward. Here's hoping that our leaders start to figure out that preparing workers for this reality by arming them with solid choices and the necessary skills, is the best thing we can do for the future.

De'Foscherari Gallery is pleased to announce the Luca Vitone exhibit Berlin 192010, opening on Saturday, October 31st 2015.
The exhibit was born from Vitone's idea to compare two scenes of Berlin: one under the Weimar Republic with another during the period of the Unified Federal Republic after the fall of the wall.
Vitone "invites" George Grosz to present his work, which tells of the city just after World War I, a Berlin in expansion, enjoying its most dynamic and effervescent moment, where it is seen as the undisputed and most desired destination for many. Filmmakers, playwrights, musicians, writers and visual artists flock to Berlin, making it a world capital of cultural creativity. In that long decade from the end of the 1910's to the beginning of the 1930's Berlin is also a political laboratory that the world is watching with curiosity and concern, up to the decisive elections on January 30,1933.
Together with an oil painting, some precious drawings and watercolors by Grosz, Vitone presents a part of a series he dedicated to the German city which tells a personal interpretation of how he lived the changes in Berlin from before the wall, thanks to a summer trip which took place in 1985, to his return in 1996 on a scholarship, after which numerous visits led him to move there permanently.
With the fall of the wall Berlin goes back to being an attractive destination for international cultural research and once again is the place to be for many characters from a diverse number of fields and disciplines. The collective consciousness affects not only the cultural perspective, but also quite necessarily the political perspective and the city becomes a laboratory of utopian attitude that attempts to transform the social aspects of the inhabitant into an individual who is aware of his own freedom and autonomy. Such aspects formed libertarian socialism, opposed to what had taken place as a result of the dogma and created a national socialism that then governed a part of the city for almost forty years.
Maps and objects originating from everyday life, open windows with a view of the world – these works are assembled of such elements, alongside the colors of the German flag and a carousel of bicycles, from which, while pedaling one can watch a video that subjectively recounts the crossing of ex-East Berlin from north to south, lingering on the details of the changes.
The exhibit opens exactly one year later, on October 31st 2014, which takes place in Galerie Nagel Draxler in Berlin and showcases two works from the series "Der Zukunft Glanz" (The Splendor of the Future) for the first time, a title that poetically returns to the Italian motto of socialist tradition "the sun of the future," which doesn't exist in German.

The audience were seated under the red glow of prosperity from the Chinese lanterns in the intimate choir stands under the magnificent Organ pipes at the back of the Concert Hall stage. Two opposing kidney-shaped grand pianos were nestled within one another for each pianist, representative of the Chinese Yin-Yang symbol, whilst the Southern Cross Soloists and guests were dressed in black and red to celebrate the onset of the Year of the Pig and the Chinese Lunar New Year.

Lunar New Year: Memories from Childhood is the first of the three-concert program for 2019 by the Southern Cross Soloists. Curated by Artistic Director Tania Frazer, who brought all the artists together, it was an eclectic fusion, featuring animal-inspired Western music with selections from Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals and Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, Chinese folk songs, and the world premiere of Carnival of the Chinese Animals, a piece by Lyle Chan exploring the Chinese Zodiac. Special guest soloists included Li-Wei Qin on the cello, pianist Kristian Chong and the vibrant international erhu master (playing the two-stringed bowed traditional Chinese instrument) George Gao on his inaugural visit to Australia. This daring program of Chinese folksongs interspersed with Carnival of the Animals in the first half was exciting and delightful, blending two contrasting cultures to create a unique and exhilarating concert.
Each guest shared their personal childhood memories of Lunar New Year celebrations. Gao, a professor at the Shanghai Institute of Arts, remembered mischievously throwing firecrackers in the Shanghai streets. Qin meanwhile fondly remembered negotiating with his father that the first day of New Year and his birthday would be his only days free from cello practice. Chong, ABC ABC presenter and one of Australia's leading pianists, always gleefully anticipated the red envelopes containing gifts of money when growing up in Adelaide.

Gao's effervescent performance of Erhu of the Night used contemporary erhu techniques to recreate the famous Queen of the Night Aria from Mozart's Magic Flute. His Mongolian Fantasy was a fast-paced James Bond-style theme played mostly between the erhu and cello with a frenetic climax and ending with a loud foot stamp. Intermingled between the Chinese folk songs and Gao's unique compositions were the animal themes from Carnival of the Animals and Paganini's Mosè Fantasia which created a vibrant and colourful melodic combination highlighting the diversity of eastern and western music.
Another highlight was the world premiere of Chan's Carnival of the Chinese Animals, narrated by Brisbane-born comedian, actor and director Jordan Schulte. Inspired by Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, the piece was composed specifically for the concert. It tells the Chinese folk tale of how each animal was placed by Buddha in their positions of the zodiac based on a race between the animals to cross a river. The intelligent, yet cunning rat came first by hitching a ride on the oxen's back and pushing the cat into the water, whereas the pig was last as it ate and napped before wading across the river. 2019 is the celebration of the year of the Pig which fortunately represents good luck, health and prosperity, rather than slovenly laziness.

After such an incredible collection of compositions, the finale highlighting excerpts of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite seemed an unnecessary afterthought and without the might of a large orchestra and percussion section, did not do the work justice. That aside, the Southern Cross Soloists presented a sensational, energetic concert showcasing the diversity of musical styles from the Orient and Europe interspersed with poignant childhood memories of the Lunar New Year celebrations.
