Who Benefits from Facebook's $100B IPO?

Yesterday, Mashable published a piece on Facebook's potentially massive IPO. The numbers are absolutely astounding: if Facebook's IPO goes as expected, it will raise six times as much money as Google's. But even more incredibly, this will value the company at $100 billion. For some comparison, let's look at a corporate giant like Pfizer. It's currently ...

You Can’t Judge a Book By Its Cover, So Read the Story

The tech who showed up to the house was probably just as surprised as I was that my dad was getting the ducts cleaned. But he saw this appointment as an opportunity, not a waste of time. He talked to my dad, found things out about him and the house. Because he spent just a few minutes with my dad, he was able to add on additional products and services. That tech turned a $375 duct cleaning job into a $1,500 IAQ solution job.

José Valim, creator of the Elixir programming language, Chief Adoption Officer at Dashbit, and author of three programming books, speaks with SE Radio host Gavin Henry about what Elixir is today, what Livebook is, the five spearheads of the new machine learning ecosystem for Elixir, and how they all fit together. Valim describes why he created Elixir, what “the beam” is, and how he pitches it to new users. This episode examines things you can do with Livebook and how it is well-aligned with machine learning, as well as why immutability is important and how it works. They take a detailed look at a range of topics, including tensors with Nx, traditional machine learning with Scholar, data munging with Explorer, deep learning and neural networks with Axon, Bumblebee and Huggingface, and model creation basics.

3 Must Read Books for Choir Directors

Here are 3 books that I have found most useful in helping me become a better Choir Director. I highly recommend them and if you have any suggestions for me I am all ears and ready to learn.

Sing 6-7-8! - Choral

This book has a great way of simplifying things. It allows you to see things from a younger students perspective from someone who has worked for many years with that age group. I have heard it said before that just because you can do does not mean you can teach This book has lots of great tools to help bridge that gap.
The adolescent years can be a challenge for any choir director, but this practical handbook by Roger Emerson provides an engaging and witty approach to working with these young singers. Ideal for experienced educators and those new to the field, this text is full of creative ideas and solid solutions in an easy-to-read question and answer format. The fifty topics include recruiting, the adolescent voice, choral tone, classroom management, budgets, choral balance and blend, sight-reading, repertoire, programming, incorporating pop music into the choral program, working with your administrators and colleagues, parent and community relations, helpful recommended resources and much more!



The book is a comprehensive guide to teaching vocal technique through designing an efficient choral warm-up that gives the choir "tools" to sing and hear better. Among the topics presented are alignment (using Alexander Body Mapping principles), inhalation, exhalation, support, resonance, vowel colors, leaps, range extension, crescendo/decrescendo, martellato, staccato, teaching procedures for diction (plus general diction guidelines), teaching and reinforcing rhythm and consistent tempo, and strategies for teaching intonation. This is a comprehensive guide for choral directors that: helps conductors plan and implement efficient choral warm-ups builds healthy voices within the choral rehearsal provides vocalises that have accompaniments complete with modulations upward and downward categorizes vocalises according to specific vocal objectives



Not too often did I find a college text book that I really liked but here is one exception. This text provides a concise and practical introduction to choral techniques and conducting for potential choral conductors. The author-America's premier choral conductor, mentored by Robert Shaw-brings 43 years of teaching and workshop experience to this text.

Class Facebook Page (Update)

Image via CrunchBase

A year ago I wrote a post about creating a Class Facebook Page. After a few tweaks I think I found the Facebook setup that works for me.

I have set up a general Facebook Page for all the choirs that anyone can like and follow for general announcements. Also a good way for alumni to stay connected and a means for free performance advertisement.

Where the real success has been is with Private Group Pages for  my individual performance groups. I have found through these private groups I get the protection from out siders posting stuff I don't approve of and also I get to communicate directly with just my ensembles outside of school time. Granted not all of my students have a Facebook but I would say at least 90% do and have all accepted an invitation to be a part of this group.

You can set up your own groups here: https://www.facebook.com/about/groups/

Información en línea:
Cesare Cardinalli tiene que matar a tres testigos en tres sitios muy lejanos entre sí. Una voz femenina y susurrante le ha encargado la tarea por teléfono.
Una vez tomado el compromiso, Cardinalli decide que lo acompañe Barbara, una modelo de extraordinaria hermosura y no tan extraordinaria moral, que hará más llevadero el encargo.
Cardinalli comete los asesinatos como un profesional. El primero, en el Palacio de Justicia de Nueva York. El segundo, en Las Vegas. El tercero, en una piscina ensangrentada en Miami.
La policía le sigue los pasos, pero está desorientada. No tanto lo está la Mafia cuyas castañas acaba de sacar del fuego: alguien en la organización piensa que Cardinalli puede ser más peligroso que los testigos a los que ha matado. Y comienza la caza del hombre.
Comercial. Censurado. Controvertido. Sexual. Traducido a 32 idiomas. Harold Robbins fue escritor de 25 best-sellers. En 1948 publicó su primer libro, No amarás a un extraño, para ganar una apuesta de 100 dólares a un directivo de Universal Pictures. Basado en sus experiencias personales en un orfanato, provocó una gran polémica por su sexualidad explícita. Y arrasó en ventas. Le siguieron novelas tan célebres como Las pirañas, Los depredadores, El narrador de historias y El precio del placer. Su obra más popular fue Los insaciables (The Carpetbaggers), adaptada a la gran pantalla en 1963 por Edward Dmytryk y protagonizada por George Peppard.

MI COMENTARIO:
Cesare Cardinali es un joven aristócrata italiano que debe su exuberante estilo de vida a los favores de un jefe supremo de la mafia. Su principal habilidad es matar silenciosamente con un cuchillo conocido como stiletto, que produce una herida que le da tiempo para escapar luego de ser infligida. Se encuentra en EE.UU. con la misión de eliminar a cuatro hombres que esperan juicio en un caso sensacional contra el crimen organizado. George Baker, agente especial del FBI, es el hombre que ha reunido la evidencia para encerrar a esos mismos cuatro hombres de por vida. Cuando uno es acuchillado bajo la atenta mirada de un policía frente a un tribunal de Nueva York, y otro se encuentra desplomado sobre una mesa de juego de Las Vegas, Baker entra en un juego del gato y el ratón para atrapar a Cardinali antes de que se destruya todo el caso. Pero el aristócrata asesino suma enemigos aún más peligrosos: varios mafiosos deciden liquidarlo para suprimir cualquier evidencia de su relación con Cardinali.
En este juego viril, participan tres mujeres impresionantes. Barbara, modelo de belleza arrolladora y creciente fama, amante de Cesare, que termina siendo asesinada fríamente por él cuando empieza a hacer las preguntas incorrectas. La baronesa Ileana, que ascendió desde su familia arruinada (a lo que contribuyó con un trío sexual... ¡con su propia madre!) hasta el jet set internacional gracias a sus virtudes amatorias; también es amante de Cesare, y su traidora, cuando acepta trabajar de forma encubierta para Baker. Finalmente, Luke, la más fascinante de todas, agente secreta de la mafia, cuyo nombre de varón indica su rechazo al sexo opuesto, producto de una vida plagada de desastres provocados por su entorno masculino. Luke encuentra en Cesare al hombre capaz de volverse su pareja, una opción imposible para ella hasta ese momento. Sin embargo, tiene que lidiar con su misión: llevar a Cesare a una trampa mortal, en que pueda ser matado por los sicarios enviados por sus enemigos. La muerte tiene un premio: la comprensión del fracaso de toda una vida.
Novela hedonista y sombría a la vez, Stiletto puede tomarse como una transición entre las historias de mafiosos volcadas a la acción de los años 40 y 50, y las novelas de Mario Puzo, que le dieron una perspectiva más amplia al fenómeno de la Cosa Nostra.
 
ADAPTACIÓN AL CINE:
Bernard L. Kowalski fue el director de la adaptación cinematográfica de Stiletto, en 1969. Sus protagonistas fueron Alex Cord (conde Cesare Cardinali), Britt Ekland (Illeana), Patrick O’Neal (George Baker), Joseph Wiseman (Emilio Matteo), Barbara McNair (Ahn Dessie), John Dehner (fiscal de distrito Frank Simpson), Titos Vandis (Tonio), Eduardo Ciannelli (Don Andrea) y Roy Scheider (Bennett). Esta película presentó varios cambios en la historia original; uno de los principales es que Baker pasa de ser un agente del FBI a un asistente del fiscal de distrito de Neuva York, lo que licúa en parte el contenido de espionaje de la novela. En Argentina se estrenó con el título original, mientras que en España fue retitulada como El precio del placer.

MANCINI BOOK

New release: Pop culture and music scholar Jon Burlingame has a new book out: Dreamsville: Henry Mancini, Peter Gunn, and Music for TV Noir. From the press release: "Henry Mancini (1924-1994) is renowned as the Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer of such timeless standards as “Moon River” and “Days of Wine and Roses,” as well as such memorable instrumental themes as “The Pink Panther” and “Baby Elephant Walk.” But preceding all of them was the wildly popular theme from Peter Gunn, a television series whose soundtrack won the very first Grammy ever awarded for Album of the Year. Award-winning author and journalist Jon Burlingame chronicles the backstory of Peter Gunn and how its music propelled Mancini to fame and fortune, launching a decades-long collaboration with filmmaker Blake Edwards that encompassed nearly 30 movies, from Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Victor/Victoria and beyond. Burlingame (author of six books including The Music of James Bond and Music for Prime Time) relates the untold story of Peter Gunn and its companion series Mr. Lucky; examines the music Mancini wrote for both series and their chart-topping success as modern jazz albums; and tells how this 1958-61 period in TV history set the stage for one of the most remarkable careers of any American composer in the Twentieth Century."

NEW FLEMING BOOK

New release: Ultra-rare Ian Fleming book set for release in May, 2025! Talk of the Devil: The Collected Writings of Ian Fleming has eluded fans for years. Originally only included in a limited-edition set, and then briefly in an expensive edition, publisher William Morrow plans to make this treasure available to a wider audience in hardback, kindle, and audiobook editions. From the press release: "Ian Fleming was best known for bringing to life the legendary character of James Bond, one of the most beloved and enduring icons of our time, but he was perhaps even more interesting than his creation. His career in Naval Intelligence and extensive travels around the world gave Fleming a keen eye and the authority to write on a wide range of topics beyond Bond’s adventures. This collection contains a selection of journalism and other writings by Fleming, covering his wartime experiences, reflections on crime and espionage, and the process of writing his novels, among other topics. Readers will feel like they are right beside Fleming, immersed in his world as he works to meet the deadline for his next Bond novel, or participates in a mortifying golf tournament, or befriends an octopus in his beloved Jamaica. A black-and-white photo insert gives dimension to the man behind the myth, bringing life to his words and providing a unique glimpse into Fleming’s world." More info at Amazon.

Meta to offer Facebook and Instagram users in Europe less personalized ads after pressure from regulators

Facebook and Instagram users in Europe will get the option to see less personalized ads if they don’t want to pay for an ad-free subscription, social media company Meta said Tuesday, bowing to pressure from Brussels over privacy and digital competition concerns.

Meta Platforms has been offering European Union an ad-free subscription option for about a year to comply with the continent’s strict data privacy rules, but regulators had accused the company of giving people a false choice.

The company said in a blog post that while people will still be able to choose between the subscription and existing free versions, it would also start giving free users an extra option over the coming weeks to see digital ads that are less personalized.

This means ads will be targeted at users based only on what they see during their current session on Facebook or Instagram going back no more than two hours, plus minimal personal information such as age, location, gender as well as how they engage with ads.

Data from all of a user’s previous time spent on Facebook or Instagram, which is typically combined to precisely target an individual with tailored ads, won’t be used.

“While this new choice is designed to give people an additional control over their data and ad experience, it may result in ads that are less relevant to a person’s interests,” Meta said in a blog post. “That means people will see ads that they don’t find as interesting. This drop in relevance is inevitable given that drastically reduced data is being used to show these less personalized ads to people.”

People who choose the new option will see ad breaks that can’t be skipped for a few seconds, Meta said.

European Union regulators had accused Meta of breaching the 27-nation bloc’s digital rules when it gave user the option to pay a monthly fee to avoid being targeted by ads based on their personal data.

The U.S. tech giant had rolled out the option after the European Union’s top court ruled Meta must first get consent before showing ads to users, in a decision that threatened its business model of tailoring ads based on individual users’ online interests and digital activity.

The company also said Tuesday it’s slashing monthly subscription prices for the ad-free option. Web users will pay 5.99 euros ($6.36), down from 9.99 euros previously, while iPhone and Android users will be charged 7.99 euros instead of 12.99 euros, which includes commissions charged by the Apple and Google mobile app stores.

Meta’s new subscription model could hit the company’s lucrative digital ad business in one of its biggest markets. The company said it has already factored the new offering into its most recent business outlook and financial guidance.

The options are available to users 18 and older in the EU’s 27 member countries, plus Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
