Why We're Suing
Let's see those e-mails, governor
By The Editors of Columbia Journalism Review
Today, the Columbia Journalism Review will file a lawsuit in an Albany court, seeking to compel New York state to properly fulfill its duties under the state's Freedom of Information Law—duties we believe the state is speciously and cynically trying to shirk by citing inapplicable exemptions and New York's shield law.
Here's how we got to this point. Way back on March 4, Peter Kauffman, Governor David Paterson's director of communications, resigned, saying that as a former Navy officer he took "integrity… seriously" and that he could not "in good conscience continue in" his position.
His departure came in the midst of one of the one of the strangest chapters in New York's recent political history. For weeks, the actions of the governor and his staff had been subject to an aggressive investigation by reporters from The New York Times, in the wake of a domestic violence case involving one of the governor's most trusted aides. While the paper worked its sources, Albany's rumor mill went into overdrive about the coming article, presumed to be a bombshell. Would it be hookers? Cocaine? Bribe taking? All of the above? With assists from social media and a hyperactive press corps, such speculation burst into the state's political conversation.
Kaufmann's resignation reminded Clint Hendler, our staff writer who specializes in politics and government transparency issues, of two recent public records requests. In 2009, just after South Carolina governor Mark Sanford's staff told the press that their out-of-pocket boss was off "hiking the Appalachian Trail," John O'Connor, a reporter at The State, filed an open records request that netted e-mails between reporters and the governor's press office as the scandal brewed. That ingenious reporting trick inspired John Cook, then a reporter with Gawker, to file with New York for 2008 e-mails between former governor Eliot Spitzer's press secretary and reporters, in the period immediately around his prostitution meltdown.
The documents yielded by both these requests contained some interesting nuggets, showing reporters aggressively angling for information and exclusives and revealing some of the tactics used by press secretaries to manage coverage. So Hendler thought that Kaufmann's e-mails might be worth a look, and, the afternoon of his resignation, submitted a request under New York state's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) for the last seven weeks of e-mails between members of the press, Kaufmann, and his deputy, press secretary Melissa Shorenstein. When Shorenstein also resigned two weeks later, saying she'd been "unwittingly" caught up in the scandal, Hendler filed an amending request seeking similar e-mails through the time of her departure.
The requests—technically in Hendler's name—entered an acknowledge-and-delay phase familiar to most anyone who has used freedom of information laws, until April 29, when, despite finding over 2,300 responsive e-mails, the executive chamber wrote us to say that, by the state's reasoning, the public can't see a single one of them. An administrative appeal garnered nothing further.
So we're suing.
Why? Well, let us count the ways. First, we're journalists, and we don't like taking no for an answer.
More seriously, the records we're seeking would likely help illuminate the press's role in a bizarre chain of events in state history that led to the appointment of an Independent Counsel and to the governor dropping his election campaign. Sure, there will be lots of chaff in those e-mails. But perhaps they'd offer some information explaining the resignations, show reporters testing the most bizarre theories circulating at the time, or catalogue an evolving damage-control line from the state's highest official.
Any of that would all be potentially interesting, and that's why we will exercise our rights under the law and file suit.
But given the response from the governor's office, we now also think this suit must be waged to protect the full force of two laws that the state's press corps rely on: the Freedom of Information Law and the state's shield law. As we argued in an editorial headlined "Shield Abuse" in our July/August issue, we like freedom of information laws and we like shield laws. We don't like it when the latter is cynically pitted against the former, in a way that could ultimately damage the shield.
The governor's office's denial letter (pdf) gives two rationales for withholding the records. The first suggests that the e-mails would "reveal competitively sensitive information." The law does allow the state to hold back private businesses information they may hold on the order of trade secrets—manufacturing formulas, for example—but, in this case, that rationale is silly. The state is claiming that the e-mails—none of which are less than five months old—might reveal proprietary lines of reporting, sources, or "methods used by reporters to conduct their research." Proprietary methods like e-mailing the governor's communications staff for information or comment? Please.
The other rationale is, to give it credit, at least more creative. The FOIL statute allows the state to withhold documents that other portions of state law demand be kept private. In this supposed spirit, the governor's office has denied the records by citing the state's shield law, which can offer journalists, depending on the circumstances, protection against being held in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena.
On its face, that won't fly. The shield law protects journalists from subpoenas about their sources and reporting. It does not protect sources from being compelled to testify. Expanding its protections to sources—especially to government sources, paid by taxpayers, and acting in their official capacity—would pervert and dilute the law. Besides, any talk of testimony is entirely besides the point here. The FOIL process is not a subpoena, and the shield does not protect public records—even if those records reflect some aspect of a journalist's communication with a public official—from being disclosed pursuant to a proper records request.
Amazingly enough, it wasn't long ago that the Paterson administration would have agreed with us. Remember John Cook and his 2009 request for Governor Spitzer's press secretary's e-mails? It was fulfilled without complaint by the Paterson administration, without any exemptions claimed. But once FOIL's requirements were trained on Paterson, and threatened to expose something about the operations of his staff, his lawyers found reasons to deny.
Who knows exactly what a fulfilled request would reveal? But it already has revealed something about how freedom of information requests are sometimes handled by governments, who can deny on slim or specious legal grounds with the bet that the requester will throw up their hands, frustrated by the expense and hassle of taking the government to court. It's a cynical ploy that frustrates the public and the press's right to know.
And luckily, that won't be the case here, thanks to our lawyers at Friedman & Wittenstein, who have generously agreed to take the case at no charge to us. Instead, they hope to recoup their costs under a provision of New York's FOIL allowing plaintiffs to bill the state if the judge finds that a denial was especially capricious.
And if that's the standard, we like their chances.
CJR sues to disclose N.Y. governor's office's e-mail messages
The Columbia Journalism Review today filed suit to compel New York state to release several weeks' worth of e-mail messages among Gov. David Paterson's former director of communications, Peter Kaufmann, Kaufmann's deputy press secretary, Melissa Shorenstein, and the media.
The governor's office on April 29 refused to reveal the roughly 2,000 e-mail messages responsive to CJR's freedom of information request, claiming that those public records were exempt by law – citing the New York shield law, which provides a state reporter's privilege.
Clint Hendler, a CJR reporter, had previously requested the government e-mail messages under New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). Kaufmann resigned on March 4, 2010 citing issues of "integrity" following a political dust-up in which reporters were investigating accusations that an aide to Gov. Paterson, David Johnson, was involved in a domestic violence dispute. Shorenstein resigned two weeks later.
While the governor's office cited the New York shield law as a basis for withholding information, state shield laws in fact exist to ensure the flow of news and information to the public and to protect an independent press; indeed, the proposed federal shield legislation is entitled the "Free Flow of Information Act." This particular privilege from producing documents or testifying is referred to as the "reporter's privilege" because it belongs to a reporter to assert, not to the government as a means to prevent it from disclosing public information.
The denial also cited portions of "commercially sensitive" information in the messages as additional grounds for denial.
CJR wrote that it is suing to "compel New York state to properly fulfill its duties under the state's Freedom of Information Law — duties we believe the state is speciously and cynically trying to shirk by citing inapplicable exemptions and New York's shield law."
Columbia Journalism Review is being represented pro bono by the New York law firm of Friedman & Wittenstein.

An Attempted FOIL
NY governor's office denies CJR's records request
By Clint Hendler, CJR
Late this afternoon I got an email from the New York governor's office initially denying a pair of requests I filed in March under the state's Freedom of Information Law.
The subject of said requests? All emails between the governor's two top press aides and journalists sent between January 15, 2010, and the dates in March when the flacks resigned their positions. As you may recall, in that period of time the governor and a top aide were under the aggressive investigative lens of The New York Times. The paper was examining the aide's record of domestic abuse, and accusations that the governor and members of the state police discouraged the aide's girlfriend from filing domestic abuse charges after an apparently violent incident that the governor office originally described as a "bad breakup."
You may also recall that in the run up to the Times's blockbusters on the scandal, almost all of New York's press corps got swept up in rather uninformed and all too public speculation about a story that the Times hadn't run yet.
Where there are rumors, there are press secretaries called upon to deny them, and for that reason among others, I thought it would be interesting to get a peek at what the flacks were getting and giving in those hectic days.
Credit for this idea goes to John Cook, a reporter now with Yahoo! News. While working for Gawker, he had filed a similar request with the Paterson administration for emails sent and received by Governor Eliot Spitzer's press secretary during his dissection by the Times. (Cook, in turn, credits South Carolina's The State, which filed the same kind of request when Governor Mark Sanford was not hiking on the Appalachian Trail.)
Today the governor's office denied my request. (They also, it turns out, just denied a similar, though apparently narrower, request made by John Cook.) Here's a PDF laying out the legal reasoning behind one of the denials. (The two letters are essentially identical.) The governor's lawyer offers two arguments, both of which, let's note, Paterson's lawyers didn't find fit to cite when it was Spitzer's press secretaries' emails on the line.
The first is that the governor's office claims that New York's state's shield law forbids emails to be released because they are "the work product of journalists." If you look at the denial letter, you'll note that Jeffrey Pearlman, the lawyer who signed the denial, doesn't cite any text from the state's shield law in making this argument. I think I have an idea why: there's not a word in the law to support this claim. The law protects journalists from being held in contempt if they themselves refuse to reveal their sources, unpublished information, and other work product as the result of a court or legislative subpoena. It doesn't protect other people who may possess information about a journalist's work. I can't imagine the governor's office being able to offer a plausible defense of this argument.
The second argument is perhaps more colorable—though that's not saying much. Pearlman suggests that the information, sources, and methods of reporting described in the emails would if disclosed "cause substantial injury to the competitive position" of the news organization employing any given reporter. But "substantial injury" is a high bar, and it's hard to see how months-old emails between the governor's official press staff (no Deep Throat there) and the working press would have much content that could clear it.
It will be interesting to see how well these arguments hold up should I—or Cook, or any other reporter out there who may have asked for the emails—decide to seek an administrative appeal, or involve New York state's ombudsman-like Committee on Open Government, or the courts.
I have a guess
The information on this blog about the corruption in America's courts will disgust and frighten you and propel you into a world of racketeering, greed, larceny, malicious prosecution, and outrageous disdain for due process, the Rule of Law, the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights and Professional Responsibility Standards, Rules and Statutes. This is the Unified Court System of New York State. You will be a victim unless you speak up and protest. by Betsy Combier

My father was a truck driver so that spiked my interest at a very young age. When I went in the Marine Corps, I selected motor transport as my job. in 2006 when I got out of the Marines, I got my CDL and was a company driver until 2010. In 2011 with no money I bought my first truck got my authority.
Education and networking are what I have always looked forward to and benefited from the most. The best part about MATS for all owner-operators is to discover ways to cut cost and be more efficient.
If you want to get rich in trucking, find a need, and fill it. Company drivers and leasing on to other companies will not make you a millionaire. All CDL drivers should learn as much as they can to determine if starting a trucking company would be right for them, and there is no other better place to get educated then MATS.
Anybody that is somebody is at MATS. If I hear or read about a company that interests me, then I will surely check them out at MATS. If they are not there, then my interest is no longer there as well. Almost every year at MATS, I discover new ways to save and make more money.

An increasingly bitter board room power struggle is simmering at Vodafone, the world's biggest mobile phone operator.
The battle for control focuses on Lord MacLaurin of Knebworth - the company's chairman and one of Britain's most respected businessmen - and the chief executive he helped recruit, Arun Sarin.
Sources say the situation cannot continue and claim Lord MacLaurin, a Vodafone director since 1997, may be ready to walk away from the company he helped shape. "I would not be surprised if he resigned," one executive who has worked with Lord MacLaurin said yesterday. Previously chairman of Tesco, MacLaurin has already announced his intention to retire from Vodafone after this summer's AGM. He is to be replaced by Sir John Bond, chairman of international banking group HSBC
Details of the boardroom tension at Vodafone come amid reports that Sir Christopher Gent, Vodafone's former chief executive and architect of its rapid expansion, had planned to vote against Arun Sarin's re-election as a director at last year's annual meeting. It was also claimed this weekend Sir Christopher tried to block the appointment of new finance director Andy Halford and attempted to install former Goldman Sachs corporate financier Scott Mean as a non-executive director. Sir Christopher left Vodafone in 2003 and holds only an honourary position as the company's president. Lord MacLaurin is said to have intervened and persuaded Sir Christopher not to embarrass the company.
Vodafone refused to comment on the allegations yesterday and would say only that Sir Christopher had voted in favour of Mr Sarin's re-appointment. The company also refused to comment on speculation Lord MacLaurin is to receive a £500,000 "golden handshake" when he retires as chairman in July. According to Vodafone's annual report MacLaurin is entitled to one year's money, but it is almost unheard of for a retiring non-executive chairman to receive such a pay-off.
Several big investors have openly questioned whether Mr Sarin's strategy was the best means to maximise shareholder value. They have been unnerved by a string of bad news, including a surprise £5bn tax bill, warnings of slowing growth and a £28bn asset writedown. From a peak of 400p in 2000, the shares touched a three-year low last week after Vodafone warned of slower growth in its key markets and increasing competition.
There has been a whispering campaign around the City suggesting the chief executive might be forced out by Lord MacLaurin, one of the so called "Newbury Gang". However, Lord MacLaurin's power base has been eroded with the departures of three board directors while Mr Sarin has surrounded himself with newly appointed supporters. Mr Sarin was selected by MacLaurin to take over from Vodafone's Sir Christopher Gent and joined the board following the UK's acquisition of US rival Airtouch in 1999. He was appointed to the top job in 2003. Another executive close to MacLaurin said yesterday: "Lord MacLaurin prides himself on succession planning. One of the greatest things he did at Tesco was find Terry Leahy. He wanted to do the same thing at Vodafone but it has not worked out. Shareholders do not like Sarin and he wants to sort out this situation before he goes."
Mr Sarin appeared to have bought himself some breathing space on Friday as the company's shares enjoyed their biggest one-day gain for years after news leaked of a deal to sell its struggling Japanese operation. If the deal goes through investors are likely to be rewarded with a special dividend of up to £5bn. The deal is symbolic as it suggests Mr Sarin has listened to demands that Vodafone focuses on its core business rather than continue to chase acquisitions.
Yesterday, Mr Sarin told a Sunday newspaper that he faced a tougher job at Vodafone than his predecessors had. "Clearly it is a more difficult time," he said.
Lord MacLaurin, who looks increasingly isolated, was in South Africa this weekend. He could not be reached for comment.

ESPN Begins A Streaming Service

Glebe Point Road 5 — Gleebooks
Gleebooks is one of Glebe's great success stories – one that I have seen from the start. The pictures here are of the main store, but there is a second-hand and children's branch up past St Johns Road – the original Gleebooks – and currently a vast sale barn in the old Russell's Health Food store. In the late 1970s two English Literature students, Roger Mackell and David Gaunt, between bouts of taxi driving, had jobs working for Tony, a rather large ex-Sydney Grammar teacher, in a small second-hand bookshop. They inherited the shop, and the rest is history. In late 1978 I used to sometimes stay overnight at Roger's place in Glebe, having moved back to Wollongong in advance of taking up work again in 1979 at Wollongong High after secondment to Education at Sydney University.
I have spent more money than I should in this wonderful shop, even making a purchase the day I took these.

Aren't The Wolves Going to Be Suspicious?
Many years ago in Russia, I learned from a Kirghizi man that the national sport was hunting wolves with eagles. Years later I saw in news reports that this was done on horseback. The participants going into the mountains with their eagles and using them in teams to dispatch wolves. Now wolves are the hereditary enemies of all pastoral peoples among which are the Khirgizi, and the Mongolians. An eagle , as you might expect, just doesn't work for anybody. In order to have it return to you and go hunting-particularly against wolves-it nees to be raised by hand. The eagles, as I understand it, can not be transferred to a new owner. That means that despite the flashy vehicle these guys had to raise their own eagles and could not have just bought them for an impromptu wolf hunt. Nonetheless, it strikes me that if you are healthy enough the whole thrill of hunting wolves with eagles from horseback is diminished in a giant, German, RV.

Mister State Fair George Hamid Has Lived In A Trunk, Run The Steel Pier And He Owns A Circus
from: philly.com
By TAMARA JEFFRIES, Daily News Staff Writer
August 01, 1986
``I'm bred for this just like, I guess, a good horse is bred for racing," says George Hamid Jr.
from: philly.com
By TAMARA JEFFRIES, Daily News Staff Writer
August 01, 1986
``I'm bred for this just like, I guess, a good horse is bred for racing," says George Hamid Jr.
Hamid is president of the New Jersey State Fair, and for the next 10 days, he will be at the center of thousands of people - performers, exhibitors, politicians, farmers, craftsmen, animal trainers, pie bakers, vendors, fruit growers, parking attendants and others - who will make up the 241st New Jersey State Fair.
The extravaganza, which opens today and runs through Aug. 10 at the Garden State Park race track in Cherry Hill, is, according to fair officials, bigger and better than ever.
"I really love that state fair. It's like no other fair you'll ever see," Hamid says. His enthusiasm is no surprise, since he's been in charge of the fair since 1971. Before that, he was vice president of the fair and before that, even as far back as his infancy, he lived and breathed the excitement of the circus and the fair.
He's also president of the Greensboro (North Carolina) Fair and co-owner of the Hamid-Morton Shrine Circus - natural positions for a man who was born into the business.
It started with his father, who came to the U.S. with Buffalo Bill's circus. It was the senior Hamid who saw to it that his son knew about the circus business from the ground up.
Like a grandfather telling proud tales to his grandchildren, Hamid happily spins a yarn of how his father, "a little kid from Lebanon," joined the Buffalo Bill show while it was touring in Marseilles, France
There's only a hint of a smile on his face, but he glows as he tells the story of his father's job as Annie Oakley's helper.
"You know Annie Oakley?" he asks. "When her act was over, he would take her boots off. She had big feet and, so it would look good, she would wear small shoes. He would tug, tug, tug and there was a bucket of cold water and Annie Oakley would put her feet in." He demonstrates how his father struggled to pull too-small boots off legendary feet.
"She took a very great fondness to my father," he says. "She couldn't read or write much at all, but she got him a primer and he taught himself, with the little bit of help from her, how to read and write English."

In almost every case, the product or program's claims are too good to be true, and there's someone at the top of the pyramid making a lot of money by selling empty promises.
I believe that most people could stand to lose five, 10 or even 15 KG of excess body fat.
I realize that it seems appealing to be able to follow a miracle workout, or take a magic pill to lose the weight, but it's just not realistic. Maybe the idea of following the tried and true formula, which includes discipline and hard work, is just too daunting. Or maybe you just don't have the right motivation yet.
For starters, know that your body really doesn't need to carry around a lot of fat, and it will be better off without it. The benefits of losing five per cent of your body weight in fat are extensive, including:
■ Lowering cholesterol
■ Improving mobility
■ Improving blood sugar control
■ Reducing joint stress, aches and pains
■ Improving your breathing
■ Increasing self-confidence
The problem is, despite the incredible amount of information available today, I'm not sure most people know how to develop a successful strategy for losing weight.
With many of my clients, friends & colleagues I followed a time-tested approach and seen serious results. This involves hard work and determination, with a little direction and training help from me. This post is intended to summarize the weight-loss strategies that I've seen work for so many people. Hopefully, by following this approach, you can share this kind of success.
Start with sleep
Adequate sleep is critical when you're trying to lose weight. Sleep helps keep your metabolism elevated and gives your body time to repair and recover from your workouts. This helps your body to maintain its muscle mass and be ready for high-energy days and great workouts.
Monitor your fuel levels
Your body is a lot like a gas engine. It requires fuel to keep running. With too little fuel, it'll slow down and eventually stop on you. Too much fuel and you're going to have to store it somewhere until it's needed. This is what happens with extra calories: they get stored as fat all over your body. Figure out how many calories your body needs in a day, and then stick to it.
Spread it out
Once you know your calorie needs, divide this number by five or more. Plan on consuming five meals each day, at three- to four-hour intervals, beginning early in the morning, and continuing until just before bedtime. This pattern of eat-digest-eat-digest will increase your metabolism, stabilize your blood sugar, prevent fat-storage, and provide structure and consistency to your day. Try to avoid eating anything between these meals.
Carb control
Although your body needs carbohydrates as a fuel source, not all carbs are created equal. Sugars may taste good, but they're not good for your body. They mess with your blood sugar and insulin levels, promote fat storage, and are consistently being linked to cancer development. If you've fallen into the habit of having something sweet with every meal, make the effort to gradually reprogram yourself.
Get on the train
I know it's possible to lose weight without exercising, but this is a great way to ensure that you gain that weight back. If you're planning on losing body fat, you need to make sure you train consistently.
Make the most of every minute
There's exercise, and then there's exercise. You're not going to burn a lot of calories during 45 minutes of knitting. Shoot for 45 to 60 minutes of moderate to high-intensity activity five days per week, getting your heart rate to 70 to 80 per cent of your age-predicted max. This should include a mix of resistance-training, cardiovascular conditioning, agility drills, core exercises, etc.
Why sit when you can stand?
When I was losing weight, I followed this guidance. For fat loss, take every opportunity to move as much as possible. Don't drive if you can walk, and don't walk if you can run! Use stairs instead lift! Clean your home, which in both ways you are getting benefited.
Be realistic
If you set goals that are too ambitious, you're more likely to get discouraged. Success in small goals equals success in bigger goals. As I always say, confidence is the key for success, never give up.
Rally the troops
A supportive family and friends can make the difference in your weight-loss efforts. Ask the people closest to you to help you stay motivated and on track. Stay away from people who are bad influences.
Cut yourself some slack
You're going to slip up once in a while. There's nothing you can do but accept this fact and be prepared to double your efforts when it happens

Finding Keywords That Your Competitors Don't
August 1, 2011 Comments off
One of the "secrets" to successful SEO is finding keywords that your competitors have not found or optimized for. This can definitely require some out of the box thinking but I assure you that it can be very, very, profitable.
My sites and most of my clients sites (especially if I have been working with them a while) get visitors from hundreds if not thousands of different keywords.
Don't copy your competitors, blaze new trails. Write at least 1 or 2 optimized blog posts per week. If you need help join IMGmembers and I'll coach you through the process.

It's true that lots of people have a problem with Oriental learning. Foreign language learners have a problem with all kinds of language, including French and Spanish which have a status to be super easy languages to understand. The truth is, Chinese is really as simple to learn as either of individuals languages. All learning comes lower to the entire process of speaking and listening. If you're able to speak and hear British, you can study conversational Chinese.
Probably the most overwhelming problem confronting Oriental learners is fear. Individuals are afraid that they'll repeat the wrong factor and they also restrain themselves from speaking. This cripples their learning. If you wish to learn conversational Chinese fast, you have to learn how to speak as frequently as you possibly can. Consider the way in which children learn languages. Will they be worried about what individuals consider their vocabulary skills? Definitely not. They speak without fear. For this reason children make fantastic foreign language learners.
If you choose to become familiar with a language simply by speaking and listening without fear, the arena is leveled as they say. All languages have to be spoken and took in to to become pronounced properly. Whether you need to learn conversational Chinese, Bengali, in order to Tagalog, you have to speak and pay attention to them. The truth is, Chinese is just really a daunting language to understand in writing. When you're speaking it in the middle of a discussion, you will not even have to consider it.
Here's my simplest, and many valuable advice for individuals who wish to learn conversational Chinese. Go online and check in the search engines for Oriental exchanges. Hire a company who would like to learn British, and speaks Mandarin Chinese like a first language. Offer to educate them a brief British lesson, in return for a brief lesson in Chinese. It doesn't need to be greater than a 30 minutes per week, or anything you are comfy with.
If you're really nervous, educate them the British lesson first. Ask a foreign language exchange partner some questions regarding her or himself, and then try to get confident with the individual you are speaking to. A foreign language exchange partner should be a friend. Following a couple of sessions, I'm able to almost promise will feel convenient speaking Chinese. In addition, you'll have already possessed a language exchange, and when later on you would like more speaking practice you'll always understand how to have it.
There's no doubt about this, you will have to perform some recall skills of vocabulary and grammar, but this ought to be minimal as compared to the time you need to spend speaking. This is the way you learn conversational Chinese fast and be fluent. Like several great projects in the Pyramids towards the Panama Canal, learning isn't something that can be done alone. Overcome your fear, and begin speaking. Your mind will take it from there.
If your profession demands you to improve your conversational Chinese Singapore, enroll with the Chinese courses as offered by the School of Language International. The school has comprehensive courses designed for all age groups and professionals. Convenient location and affordable fees are additional benefits.

[A version of this article first appeared as a post on my blog From the Front of the Choir]
Many of you know that I avoid using the 'C' word: choir. But there other similar terms that I find just as bad: chorus, chorale, chamber choir.
What's in a name? What does it tell you about the singing group? Does size matter? Can you have a chorus of four people, or does that become an ensemble? Let's take a look ...
Following the 2008 BBC TV series Last Choir Standing, there was a Great Choir Debate. One of the questions was "How many people does it take to make a choir?" You can find the responses on the Last Choir Standing website.
Here are some of them:
There was another discussion on a similar subject on BBC Radio 4's Front Row back in 2012 which involved Jeremy Summerly and Suzi Digby talking about extremely large choirs.
Here is a summary of part of what they said.
Here are some of the terms that are used for groups of singers:
Some groups don't even bother using any of these terms and call themselves things like Take 6, Kitka or Sweet Honey in the Rock. Whilst other groups subvert the common meaning of the terms, e.g. The Spooky Men's Chorale or the Tittleshall Ladies Male Voice Choir.
What do you call your singing group? Do you think it makes any difference what you're called? Does it affect people's perceptions of what you do?
I'd love to hear your stories. Do share them with us!

House Bill 766, which was approved unanimously in the Senate, and passed with a 112 to 2 vote in the House of Representatives, allows those with seizure disorders to possess and use low-THC (no more than 0.9%) cannabis oil if they receive a recommendation from a neurologist. The measure adds explicit legal protections to neurologists who recommend the medicine. The full law goes into effect August 1st.

The customer has found a template he liked but did not have enough time to fill all the images and content.

As a last but very important touch, we have carried out full-fledged on-page SEO to make the site rank higher in search engines.

Having issues with importing settings from MSExcel files to AutoCAD drawings in projects on Egnyte.
When I import the settings to multiple drawings, more than 1, I get an error message reading roughly: "AcePmComServer has stopped working" in an error report window. In addition it deletes server dwg files in the project but will have the imported settings correcty applied to the back ups. Importing settings to drawings one at a time avoids the issue, but does hinder productivity.
I am curious if others have had a similar issue and if they can offer any solutions they may have found.
Hi @nyatidane The error sounds to be Autocad specific; see https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/autocad-electrical-2018-acepmcomserver/td-p/...However, we strongly recommend reaching out to our Support team at email@example.com so we may observe the application workflow in real-time, and possibly provide a viable workaround.Regards,Nars

text: MosArt prepared a simple but effective enhancement scheme for this project – a Lidl Branch in South Dublin – with regular spaced, cone shaped ornamental pear trees as boundary planting and rows of Photinia shrub planting underneath. The Photinia rows are perpendicular to the roads and will screen oblique views but allow straight-on views into the site for passive surveillance. The Pear trees are special '4 – season' street trees with flowering in spring and beautiful autumn colours. The proposal re-uses the existing Rowan trees currently alongside Clonkeen Road at the south boundary of the site. The existing fence surrounding the staircase would be covered in Ivy climbers.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Weather Station Equipment and other Weather Stations topics.
You're growing grapes and creating your own wine label. The Andrews' Special Reserve. Or should you design a grander name? How about WeatherWise Wine? You'll need heavy-duty weather station equipment, whether you live in Napa Valley or not. The least variation can affect your grapes, including:
* Wind--check, you have wind sensors
* Humidity--check, you have a hygrometer
* Storms--check, you have a barometer
* Rain--check, you have a rain gauge
* Conditions in separate areas--check, you have up to nine remote sensors
* Historical trends--check, you have software
* Soil and leaf moisture for the root stock--uh oh.
Complete pro weather station kits usually don't include soil and leaf sensors. Even Davis weather station kits sell soil and leaf moisture probes separately. If you're determined to grow grapes, you need a weather station that offers soil monitoring weather station equipment, which Davis sells but Oregon Scientific doesn't. The exception is the Cable Free All Weather Thermo Sensor with Waterproof Probe, which is a viable general moisture sensor for hard-to-monitor areas.
After all, you've spent the time and energy to grow the grapes and let the wine mature. The last thing you need is the sneer of a sommelier or wine steward who says, "No soil and leaf moisture sensor, I see." But if you invest in the proper weather station equipment, you can be the toast of wine tastings.
