Depeche Mode - Where's the Revolution
Depeche Mode are an English electronic band that formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex. The group consists of founders Dave Gahan (lead vocals, occasional songwriter since 2005), Martin Gore (guitar, keyboards, vocals, main songwriter since 1982), and Andy Fletcher (keyboards, bass guitar). Depeche Mode released their debut album Speak & Spell in 1981, bringing the band onto the British new wave scene. Original band member Vince Clarke (keyboards, guitar, main songwriter from 1980 to 1981), left the band after the release of the album, leaving the band as a trio to record A Broken Frame, released the following year. Gore took over the lead songwriting duties and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, bass guitar, occasional songwriter) officially joined the band to fill Clarke's spot, establishing a line up that would continue for the next 13 years. Depeche Mode have been a trio again since 1995, when Wilder left.

Question for Joe Biden - Why encourage the public to buy shotguns if they murder more people than assault rifles?
Find your legislators and contact them now: www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml
Chicago and Cook County are not the only city and county in the country giving money out with no question asked. More and more "blue" regions are doing that. With welfare payments and EBT cards, the recipients are restricted to use the money to buy daily necessities. But these new programs have no restrictions whatsoever. So the recipients can use the cash to buy guns, drugs and/or alcohol! ☹️
The program is not based on needs either. Here's the link to the application. The only criterium is being a resident of Chicago.

$500 a Month, No Strings: Chicago Experiments With a Guaranteed Income
CHICAGO — Christopher Ellington’s South Side photography studio crashed in 2020 with the onset of the pandemic. By March 2021, he was scraping by on a tax preparation and financial advice business when gunshots rang out one day as he was leaving work. Two bullets from a drive-by shooter pierced his head and left him permanently blind.
The creditors were closing in, the rent notices piling up. And then a helping hand came late last summer from Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration: the first of a year’s worth of monthly $500 checks, with no strings attached and almost no questions asked.
“Talk about shock,” said Ellington, 32. “It was ‘Hey, the government is doing this? Wait a minute. I don’t have to, you know, report this and report that, and you don’t have to go through all of my business and I don’t have to watch what I say?’ I was like, ‘This is how it should be.’”
Chicago and the surrounding suburbs of Cook County are conducting the largest experiment of its kind in the nation, an effort to supply thousands of residents with a basic level of subsistence, not in the form of food, housing or child care — just cash. Lightfoot’s $31.5 million Resilient Communities Pilot selected 5,000 city residents in August to receive a guaranteed cash income for a year. The first $500 checks from a separate program, a $42 million county pilot, went out in December to 3,250 residents concentrated in the near-in Chicago suburbs.
On Monday at its conference in Washington, which started over the weekend and runs through Tuesday, the National Association of Counties will announce a network of county-level basic income programs to match the mayoral initiatives that have sprouted to 50 cities.
Both Chicago and Cook County are tapping money sent to local governments through the 2021 pandemic relief law known as the American Rescue Plan. Both programs are administered by a group, GiveDirectly, that had been better known for helping poor people in developing nations. The city and county efforts are being assessed by social scientists at the University of Chicago.
“This was a once-in-a-lifetime moment for us to be bold and innovative,” said Brandie Knazze, commissioner of the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services.
For Democrats, the concept is a wager on big government at a time when faith in democratic governance is at a low ebb. For Republicans, it’s a return to discredited welfare handouts that waste money and foster dependency.
Whatever the outcome, the spread of basic income programs is a reminder of the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans, urban voters and rural conservatives, those who want more government in people’s lives and those who want less.
“There’s no indication that I see that the American public thinks what we really need is more aid to people who choose not to work,” said Robert Rector, a conservative public assistance expert at the Heritage Foundation who helped shape the welfare changes of the 1990s.
But in Democratic cities, in states deep blue and bright red, such as Columbia, South Carolina, Shreveport, Louisiana, and Birmingham, Alabama, political leaders are moving in the opposite direction. Lightfoot may be in the throes of a difficult campaign for reelection, but none of her eight rivals for the Democratic mayoral nomination before the first round of voting Feb. 28 have made an issue of her guaranteed income effort.
Instead, Lightfoot is picking a fight with the national Republican Party.
“These are the same people that didn’t want to expand health care, and look at the number of people in their communities, these ruby-red communities, that are suffering,” Lightfoot said. “These are the same people, frankly, that are attacking the very core of our democracy, demonizing being different, being the other, based upon your religion, your creed, who you love, your gender identity.”
She added: “I’m the mayor of the city of Chicago. I know what our people need.”

Applications for Lottery to Determine Who Gets $500 Per Month For 2 Years to Open Oct. 6, Preckwinkle Announces
September 14, 2022 11:44 am
Cook County residents suffering from the economic catastrophe unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic can apply starting Oct. 6 to enter a lottery to get $500 per month for two years, Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle announced Wednesday.
The program, which is expected to include 3,250 households, will launch a test of a basic-income program with $41.5 million from the federal COVID-19 relief package signed into law by President Joe Biden in March 2021, Preckwinkle said. It is the largest program in the nation.
Preckwinkle has said she is confident that making cash assistance payments directly to people struggling to make ends meet can help reduce poverty in Cook County and should be made permanent.
The deadline to apply is Oct. 21, officials said. More information is available online.
Those selected to participate in the program will get the first $500 payment in December, officials announced.
“Cook County is proud to be leading the way for government in the American guaranteed income movement,” said Preckwinkle, who is running for re-election in November. “With this historic investment, we aim to show the nation what guaranteed income at scale can achieve.”
A separate program for Chicago residents drew approximately 176,000 applications before it closed on May 13. The city’s $31.5 million program will send 5,000 Chicago families $500 per month for 12 months, officials said.
In 2021, Cook County officials used $8 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds to send $600 cash assistance payments to 14,000 residents hit hard by the economic catastrophe triggered by the pandemic.
To be eligible for the cash assistance program, participants must live in Cook County, be older than 18, and live in a household that earns no more than 250% of the federal poverty level, or $69,375 for a family of four, officials announced.
That would make approximately 36% of all Cook County residents eligible to apply for the pilot.
Participants already selected for the Chicago basic-income pilot program or the Evanston program cannot be selected to the Cook County program, officials said.
Cook County selected GiveDirectly, a firm operating in Africa and the United States, and Denver-based AidKit to administer the program, county officials announced. Those firms are also administering Chicago’s program.
The University of Chicago’s Inclusive Economy Lab and the university’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice and Inclusive Economy Lab will complete a study on the impacts of the pilot and residents’ experiences to help officials understand how the cash assistance program worked and how to determine how to make the program permanent.
More than 70% of the participants in the city’s program are women, and more than 68% are Black, according to data released by the mayor’s office on Tuesday. Most live on the city’s South and West sides, officials said.
Participants have a median annual income is $14,000, according to city data.

Celebrating Dr. E's LAw of Moving Dimensions ^& Dynamic Dimensions Theory dx4/dt=ic which derives from Homer's Odyssey! "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them." --Homer's Odyssey! herosodysseyphysics.wordpress.com

The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame.

This has been a question that's been on my mind lately:
If you had to choose between being blind or deaf, which you choose?
The practical person would choose deaf; that way they would still be able to see & communicate. But I can't choose.
I need to hear music. It's like my water, I can't survive without it for very long
But at the same time, I need to see so I can take pictures. If music is my water, photography is my oxygen.
Which would you choose?

Go and do likewise. Luke 10:37
Mary enjoyed her midweek church group meeting when she and several friends gathered to pray, worship, and discuss questions from the previous week’s sermon. This week they were going to talk about the difference between “going” to church and “being” the church in a hurting world. She was looking forward to seeing her friends and having a lively discussion.
As she picked up her car keys, the doorbell rang. “I’m so sorry to bother you,” said her neighbor Sue, “but are you free this morning?” Mary was about to say that she was going out when Sue continued, “I have to take my car to the repair shop. Normally I would walk or cycle home, but I’ve hurt my back and can’t do either at the moment.” Mary hesitated for a heartbeat and then smiled. “Of course,” she said.
Mary knew her neighbor only by sight. But as she drove her home, she learned about Sue’s husband’s battle with dementia and the utter exhaustion that being a caregiver can bring with it. She listened, sympathized, and promised to pray. She offered to help in any way she could.
Mary didn’t get to church that morning to talk about sharing her faith. Instead she took a little bit of Jesus’ love to her neighbor who was in a difficult situation.
Lord, help me to be ready at any time to be Your hands and feet to those in need.
Cindy Sherman is an American photographer and film director, best known for her conceptual portraits. Through a number of different series of works, Sherman has raised challenging and important questions about the role and representation of women in society. She is quite notoriously a feminist which is pushed through into her work. She began her career painting but soon became frustrated with how she couldn’t convey her own ideas through the media used "I was meticulously copying other art and then I realized I could just use a camera and put my time into an idea instead." From then on she concentrated on photography.
Her most celebrated collection of work is The Untitled Film Stills series consisting of 69 photographs of herself posing as different women in a series of stereotypical female roles. For example, a librarian, housewife or school girl. She began the work in 1977 when she was 23 years old. Importantly, her work encourages self-reflection. As Sherman argues, “I’m trying to make other people recognize something of themselves rather than me.”
All the photos express Hollywoods mistreatment of women in film noir and b-movies, women always take the second role to man who always have the dominance and power which seems like quite a dated value system now. In the photos it’s showing women IN the roles not trying to break them but on the faces of each ‘victimised’ women it’s always sadness and she is always looking into the distance. Sherman becomes unrecognisable in each photo, not only when comparing two of her photos together but also if i was to pass her on the street i wouldn’t recognise her. So we see these are far from self portraits.
The photo i looked at is still #48 from the series often known as The hitchhiker, in the photo we see a woman wearing a long checked skirt, socks and trainers, with one suitcase by her side standing on a highway looking off into the distance. You can’t really tell how old the women is, from the hair she looks old but by the clothing she looks like a young school girl. Either way she seems to be escaping, trying to hitch hick a ride on what seems to be an empty area. I think the ‘emptiness’ of the shot helps covey her feelings and her insignificance, especially as she standing so solitude, alone compared to the all the space around her. Even identity seems so be lacking, who is this woman? And where could she possibly be going? The fact you can’t see her face creates tension and mystery because you can’t tell what she could be thinking but by body language she seems quite calm and relaxed. I think although it seems like no one’s coming to get her there is a sense of freedom and longing for more. It looks like its been taking at sunset so it’s quite dark which comes across quite sinister. Typically this image is quite different from the rest of the series of film stills because she appears to be breaking a typical female role, it seems she not meant to be where she is and even her cloths aren’t very feminine.
Sherman has addressed her feminist beliefs in an interesting way, not only in this photo but in the whole series. Feminism doesn’t necessarily mean ‘man hating’ as we see with Sherman’s pictures, she never depicts men in a bad way, aesthetically anyway. I do think there is an element and a connotation to men mistreating women and a dominance issue but she’s concentrating more on female empowerment and demonstrating ‘what women should be doing’ rather than creating painfully obvious insults to men for example a photo of a man say hitting a women or telling her what to do. Sherman stated "The work is what it is and hopefully it’s seen as feminist work, or feminist-advised work, but I’m not going to go around espousing theoretical bullshit about feminist stuff." I do think if you’re to ignorant to look beyond the picture and realise how she exploiting female stereotypes, you can naively become attracted to the woman in the photos, defeating the purpose all together but also showing the intolerance of people’s views.
I think the main thing that interests me about Sherman’s work is the story that has been set up, as in the title ‘Untitled Film Stills’ these are meant to be stills from films, so in reality the women in the photo must be moving or about to go somewhere.
The complexity lies behind her use of narrative as well since these film stills are telling us loads in what she is saying about society’s view of the female gender in popular culture. Sherman’s take on narrative in her photos was "The still must tease with the promise of a story the viewer of it itches to be told." I think this is a good way to look at it because i think sometimes the idea of something is more exciting than the reality, by this i mean the mystery of the photo is much more appealing than what could be actually happening.
There is something almost iconic about the image because it seems so epic and thought provoking that it could be seen as quite a pivotal point in the movie if it existed.
She eventually completed the series in 1980. When questioned why she finished the series, she claimed that she ran out of clichés. Still to photographed 69 female clichés depicted from movies is quite a strong statement to make in any case.

Dr. Lynn Rothschild has spent her career asking one of the most profound questions in science: what is life, and where else might it exist? As an astrobiologist at NASA’s Ames Research Center, she studies the limits of life on Earth to better understand its potential beyond our planet. Her work brings together microbiology, synthetic biology, and evolutionary biology in a search for universal principles that govern living systems.
Rothschild’s curiosity extends from Earth’s most extreme environments to the design of life itself. She studies organisms that thrive in high radiation, intense heat, or toxic chemistry, using them as models for what might survive on Mars or Europa. At the same time, she is pioneering the use of synthetic biology to enable space exploration. By programming microbes to make materials, medicines, and fuels, she envisions future missions that “grow” what they need instead of carrying it from Earth. This vision is practical as well as poetic, turning biology into a new kind of engineering.
Educated at Yale, Indiana University, and Brown, Rothschild has combined the rigor of science with the wonder of exploration. At NASA Ames, she founded the Synthetic Biology Initiative, leading interdisciplinary teams that blend the creativity of design with the precision of genetics. She has advised space missions, mentored generations of researchers, and worked closely with engineers, designers, and artists to imagine living technologies that could transform both space and Earth.
Rothschild’s influence reaches beyond the lab. She is a frequent speaker at scientific and cultural institutions, including The Long Now Foundation, where she challenges audiences to think about life across cosmic timescales. Her work invites us to see biology not only as the study of life as it is, but as a toolkit for life as it could be.
Whether exploring extremophile microbes in volcanic lakes or programming DNA to create sustainable materials, Rothschild embodies the idea that science is both discovery and invention. Her optimism about life’s resilience and adaptability offers a hopeful counterpoint to the fragility of our own biosphere. In her view, life is a restless experiment, and humanity’s next frontier lies in learning how to live wisely, both on this planet and beyond.
It's Pittsburgh of course! I was on my way home from vacation on 79 and we were coming back through the city. I left my shutter open for a while and got this awesome photo of the city from a distance, but you can't really tell what it looks like, and coincidentally it looks like question marks. Neato!
A suitcase wheel? A shopping trolley wheel? Could it be anything else? What happened to it? How did it break? How did its owner feel? Upset? Angry? Indifferent? "The photograph begs a long list of questions but answers none of them. We are forced to accept what we cannot know and focus on what we can see:" a broken wheel left by the side of the road which now combines with the vehicle behind to animate this photograph. The quote is from the book Street Photography Now
What does Anker mean? Good question. Anker is the name of the Insurance company that owns the building where the clock is.
At noon twelve figures representing the history of Vienna (from the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius to Joseph Haydn) move across the face of the clock. Every hour one of these figures (or a pair of figures) is displayed. The clock was created in 1911 by Franz von Matsch.
If get the answer right, you can expand the Acronym BUC.
So far I have never managed to set a difficult puzzle. Let us see how quickly this gets knocked out.

Biography:
Julia Ismambetova was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from Almaty State University (ASU) in 1995. Between 1996 and 1998, she taught and lectured in the ASU Arts & Crafts department, before pursuing her artistic career full-time.
Julia creates her art using a batik technique, and has been known to describe her self-expression as akin to ‘graphics on silk’. She freely admits that she was won over by the unlimited opportunities and diversity that batiks can offer to the artist.
The batik technique is a rather complex and painstaking type of fabric painting, requiring the artist’s patience, skill and ultimately, mastery. Julia has been working with this technique for almost two decades now, and has succeeded to combine this ancient craft with her own unique style and modern elements.
Julia has exhibited widely almost every year since 1998, in Kazakhstan, at Christie's Auction House in London (UK) and in New York City. Individuals and corporations around the world, including in Kazakhstan, Russia, Spain, South Korea, the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden and Israel, have purchased her original artwork for their residences and offices, and the rights to her images for marketing purposes.

Anyone know of Objective-J syntax highlighting in vi?
"... the source on github now include a vim highlight module ..."
I've found just doing what is suggested here is not enough:
- download the file as Francisco suggests
- unzip, "cd Tools/" dir
- run the shell, "sh install-tools"
- copy the objj.vim file to vim dir, "cp Tools/Editors/objj.vim /usr/share/vim/vim71/syntax/"
Problem
I found no syntax highlighting worked for ".j" files. So the problem here is no file extension recognition. If you are using gvim as I am there is also no menu item.
Add Objective-J to gvim menu
To add a menu-item in gvim for Syntax->Ne-MO->Objective J:
- "sudo vim /usr/share/vim/vim71/synmenu.vim"
add the following line.
- "an 50.70.465 &Syntax.Me-NO.Objective\ J :cal SetSyn("objj")<CR>" below the objective-C entry.
save and quit
- ":wq!"
then reload a ".j" file in gvim. If you then go:
- Syntax->Ne-MO->Objective J
highlighting for your selected Objective-J file should occur.
Objective-J auto-highlighting?
But what about auto-highlighting when you load the file? There appears to be no file associations. So:
- "sudo vim /usr/share/vim/vim7.1/filetype.vim"
In the file you will find a list of filetype associations. If you want an idea where to add the line, search for "setf ocaml" in filetype.vim. Add the line below above (alphabetical):
- """ Objective J au BufNewFile,BufRead *.j setf objj"
Save the result. You should now be able to load a file with a ".j" extension and syntax highlighting for Objective-J files works.
Result
Now you should get automatic recognition of the Objective-J files by file type ".j" and a way to set this filetype in gvim. This probably should be added by Bram or whoever does the official release of vim but for the moment this hack works for me. (Ubuntu 8.10, Vim 7.1)
before I answered the question
Mucking around with Objective-J and Cappuccino today. There's a good reason for it. Just testing at the moment. Doing so I had to find out how to get Objective-J to work with vim and in the process did a small writeup on stackoverflow for syntax highlighting in objective-j and vim. There are a few other hacks on getting Objective-J and Vim syntax highlight to work.
next day
Have my old account back with new questions ~ stackoverflow.com/users/2092/bootload thanks Jeff.
