THERE ARE FAMILY HOMES … and then there is Mark and Gayle’s beautifully remodeled home in Tacoma’s Proctor District — which could have turned out much, much differently, if not for the way several unrelated family connections came into play: — Right up until the couple bought it, this was Gloria’s house — designed and […]

Jacques Castérède was one of many composers who refused to abandon tonality and traditional forms amid the stormy avant-garde of the 20th century. The Quintette for winds was written in 1953, the same year that Castérède won the Prix de Rome, and touches of Gershwin appear among its witty colours. Neo-Classical restraint in the Sonate en forme de Suite contrasts with the grittier and more modernist Musique for flute, harp and string trio, and La Belle Époque takes us on a whistle-stop tour of Classical repertoire, parodying famous tunes by Haydn and Mozart.

Charles-Marie Widor was a hugely influential and venerated musician in his day, and his innovative organ symphonies are both a pinnacle of the repertoire and a testament to his creative and technical mastery of the instrument. These spectacular works are in the grand Romantic manner, but Widor was keenly aware of his musical ancestry, referring to music of the past such as Bach’s St Matthew Passion in the opening of the Third Symphony. The Scherzo of the Fourth Symphony is one of Widor’s finest symphonic movements, exploring the organ’s sonic beauties. The original E major Scherzo from the Symphony No. 2, which Widor subsequently replaced with a Salve Regina (see Volume 1: 8.574161), can be heard on Track 6.

César Franck was a childhood prodigy who gained later renown as an organist and teacher. His compositions received scant attention until the success of Le Chasseur maudit, a symphonic morality tale that vividly portrays the ‘accursed huntsman’ from his defiance of the Sabbath to a dramatic chase and a horrific fate. Les Éolides is infused with Wagnerian colours and depicts the mythological Aeolids as they reawaken nature with their song. Franck’s lushly orchestrated final symphonic poem Psyché expresses the power of love in dreams and a passionate union.

Кассин Юрий Петрович - первый турист, который взошёл на пик Сталина в 1959 году.

Друзья, приветствую вас! Шесть лет назад, в 2015 году к 120-летию самодеятельного туризма, меня попросили написать Летопись о восхождениях горных туристов на семитысячники. В процессе подготовки этого материала в моих руках оказалось столько информации, что возникла мысль всё это зафиксировать, а, главное, систематизировать. Таким образом, появились три составляющих:
1. Список горных туристов, взошедших на семитысячники в период с 1959 по 1991 год.
2. Летопись восхождений с 1959 по 1991 год.
3. Список погибших горных туристов

Психологически очень трудно проходить сложнейшие перевалы рядом с вершинами, до которых «рукой подать» и не зайти на вершину. Занимаясь туризмом как спортом, классифицируя походы по сложности, туристы изобретали всевозможные искусственные «перевалы», например, «перевал» между двумя вершинами Эльбруса, «перевал» через плато Правды рядом с пиком Коммунизма и, кажется, даже «перевал» через седловину между двумя вершинами Ушбы. Выход на такие перевалы включает большую и технически сложнейшую часть восхождения на гору. Однако туристам вершины запрещены. Запреты обходят, как могут: например, включают в маршрут «выход на панорамную точку для фотографирования», или просто совершают восхождения втихаря, подальше от посторонних глаз, многократно увеличивая тем самым опасность тяжелых последствий любой аварии. Эти слова принадлежат Юрию Слезину – МС СССР по альпинизму, доктору наук.

Он прав, до слов «Однако, туристам вершины запрещены». Напротив Конституция СССР провозглашала равенство прав всех граждан страны и запрещала ограничивать свободу передвижения в своей стране для любого её гражданина. Никакие партийные, общественные или спортивные организации не имели права нарушать основной закон государства!

Именно эти два мнения определяли коллизию отношений между альпинистами и горными туристами во второй половине прошлого века. Альпинисты обижались на то, что им приходилось иногда отвлекаться от своих дел и помогать туристам, попавшим в беду. Туристы обижались на нарушения их конституционных прав.

Начало обозначенного в заглавии периода времени соответствует первому восхождению туриста на семитысячник, а конец – прекращению существования СССР. Представленный обзор содержит в хронологическом порядке все, известные мне, факты восхождений. В связи с отсутствием официальной регистрации рассматриваемых восхождений могут встречаться неточности. Кроме этого некоторые ссылки могут быть не актуальны, поскольку материал начал собираться с 2015 г. Номер маршрута совпадает со списком взошедших по годам. Стиль изложения будет различаться друг от друга, поскольку старался придерживаться текстов, присланных первоисточниками. Эта летопись, я думаю, будет постоянно дополняться. Друзья, надеюсь на вашу помощь!

It's hard to keep up with the Zoomers!

Last weekend I participated in two investing panels for my friend Anina.net’s global online fashion conference. Anina is the pretty girl next to me in the picture atop this page. My second panel was the final event of the conference, so Anina and I stayed on the line to talk a bit afterward. She had been up for 72 continuous hours. Oddly, what we discussed were N-95 respirator masks, which are in such short supply thanks to COVID-19. Anina lives in Beijing and China is starting to get back to work as the country slowly backs-off from its draconian coronavirus shut-down. Some businesses are retooling to address global coronavirus needs and one of those retooled factories is owned by a friend of Anina’s. His garment […]

Hello again! I got a little bit stuck on my most recent project because I don't have the right tools to do it the best way, which has created a sort of analysis-paralysis, but I like to think that one is wrapping up. Of course I still need to make a video which will take 9999 hours. Winter's computational space heater made a decent discovery, which is an Arithmetic Progression of Primes. An AP is some starting number x, and some positive stride s, where a progression of numbers in this sequence are all prime:

For example with x=3 and s=2, we have 3, 3+2, 3+2+2 prime (and then 3+2+2+2=9 is not prime), yielding an Arithmetic Progression of length 3, or "AP3". The longest such progression known is an AP27, the only one yet known found last year: for 27 consecutive primes! Only twelve AP26s are known,^* and my computer found an AP25: only 133 AP25s are known^* so it's a pretty lucky find, although of course people care a lot less about finding these than about finding huge primes (AP1s, if you will.)

^* Technically an AP27 contains two AP26s, and three AP25s (etc.) so these numbers undercount a little.


Aside from the secret projects and winter hibernation, I played a slightly-old puzzle game called Closure which was pretty good. Definitely an interesting mechanic that they get plenty out of, if perhaps with slightly sluggish controls. I also just started Luigi's Mansion 3 for the cozy-factor, but you probably don't need me to tell you about AAA franchise Nintendo titles. I rarely recommend TV on here, but the second season of Castle Rock was unexpectedly good, if you like that sort of thing (first season is fine but there's no reason to watch them in any particular order). OK byeeee

Christian Pacheco, 42, was wrongly convicted in the racially-motivated Latin Kings killing of Lemuel Cruz, who died in December 1995 at a Brooklyn club called El Sabor Latino. Pacheco was nabbed by cops as he was trying to save Cruz's life. “I don’t regret helping him — honestly, I don’t. That’s the kind of person that I am," Pacheco told reporters Thursday.

A pair of crooks smashed their way into a grocery store in Brooklyn and stole the deli’s cash register along with three dozen Red Bulls, cops said.

The Dodgers' Hideo Nomo, with a quirky windup and devastating forkball, pioneered Japanese players coming to the U.S. by quickly becoming an All-Star.
