This is the first I had actually heard of the Army even CONSIDERING such a thing. Generally from Navy and Air Force channels. This is a topic that has generated a lot of discussion. And now both are leaving.Would you like to be able to take a few years sabbatical from the military? There's a program for that!! Both had been wavering about separating from the Navy. Both are highly decorated and accomplished. As a result, they are denied the possibility of seeing each other for a year. His leave chit, for a period of time that spans allotted pre-deployment leave, is denied because he will be “too far away and we may have to surge” - which is actually not even a remote possibility. She deploys first to a non-combat zone that he would be able to visit as a tourist. Two sailors in a long-term relationship are scheduled for back-to-back deployments. Yet, the sailor is home for the birth and the first few days of his young son’s life. Most other leaders grumble that they were never afforded such compassion, and that we should not have allowed him to leave - just because. His officer-in-charge gets him a seat on the bird. He can find someone to cover his duties for a few weeks. There is a flight leaving for Germany, and ultimately to the states, in 20 minutes. For military couples who marry, detailers tend to treat spousal co-location like a good deal, and not like the policy it is, which means every two-to-three years, couples worry if they will have to endure another long separation.Ī sailor’s wife, pregnant with their first child, goes into labor while he is in Afghanistan. I have been “Dear Janed” by a partner, ironically also in the military, who met someone while I was at sea. Every single relationship I have been in since joining has rapidly become long distance. Otherwise, I would usually just be another bureaucrat in an armed, specially trained pyramid of bureaucrats.Īdditionally, like many other young professionals, I have had to choose between my personal life and my career, except on an extreme level. I realized that it would be decades of military service before I could actually make an impact. I didn’t want to follow a generic career path where “hitting the wickets” was more important than applying my skills. These thoughtful initiatives fail to holistically address the issue of why the best personnel are leaving.Īs I was nearing the end of my first tour and second deployment, close observations made me realize I didn’t want my boss’s job. Getting paid more for a longer deployment does not fix the personal issues that arise both on ship, and especially at home, during a long deployment. Reserve funding is being cut as the war in Afghanistan draws to a close. Even expanding it by 100% will not make a dent. The Career Intermission Program only admits 40 people per year - 20 officers and 20 enlisted. These are great ideas, but they are not enough. But these efforts fail to address many other issues endemic to an organization that, like it or not, maintains the status quo unless forced to change by external pressure. All of the initiatives being considered are certainly a step forward in the effort to retain quality personnel: expanding the Career Intermission Program, more dynamic rotations between Reserve duties, increased pay for longer deployments, better sea-shore rotations. In response, the Navy is attempting to offer service members more flexible career options. The fact that she had been married is barely hinted at (she describes herself as single again). Somehow, despite a failed marriage, she has the cash to tour Britain. But his failed post-war marriage and two children are unmentioned in the movie. (One of my teachers around 1969 had been a Prisoner of War at Changi Prison in Singapore, but you would never have heard it from him.) Presumably many of these gentle heroes were married, as was Eric. His tormented friend at the veterans club notes how the survivors of the 1940s horrors are now bank clerks, teachers, engineers, retired people honest productive citizens, whose unsung post war endurance is as admirable as their war time survival. This fine car and his neglected house are the only signs that he had a successful and productive working life between 19. The equivalent British middle classes now drive BMWs, Mercedes and Audis). The Triumph marque disappeared long ago along with much of the British car industry. Eric is shown to drive a Triumph 2000, a car typically owned by the affluent middle classes of that time. But such practical matter of fact detail inevitably invites down to earth speculation such as "Where does the characters' money come from?" This tiresome little problem hardly matters in more fantastical Hollywood sagas where everyone is filthy rich or in possession of superpowers. The very down to earth portrayal of Eric's lonely life is immensely touching, as in the scene where his new love Patti wants to scrub clean the cooking pot in his grubby bachelor kitchen. Perhaps it shouldn't matter, given the power of his performance, but it gets in the way if you try to make sense of the time lapses. Good as he is, Colin Firth is visibly too young. The title character, Eric, was 61 at the time of the scenes set in 1980. Yet the film has several irritating shortcomings. I toured it in 2007 it is now a museum peopled by realistic waxworks of the soldiers, senior and junior, who were there on surrender day, 15th February 1942. I was particularly fascinated to see Eric and the other signals staff emerging into the sunlight from the underground "Battle Box" headquarters in Fort Canning Park, Singapore. I normally never consciously notice the sound design, but here it contributes intelligently and gently to several episodes. The direction and all the technical contributions are admirable. Its low key approach makes the torture scenes and the depictions of Eric Lomax's searing post-war nightmares all the more horrifying and unforgettable. "The Railway Man" is a sober restrained film for much of its running time. The ASO will be led by Russian-American conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya, making her ASO debut. “Samaagam,” a concerto for orchestra and sarod by Amjad Ali Khan, will be performed by the composer, along with his two sons, Ayaan and Amaan Ali Bangash, who studied under their father. The fretless neck is nickel-plated or stainless steel, producing a “sliding,” glissando sound that approximates the human voice. Bearing four to six melodic strings and several sympathetic, drone strings, it is played with a plectrum. The ASO is focused on broadening its musical sources and this fall will offer performances featuring the sarod, a stringed instrument from the Indian subcontinent that is as popular as the sitar. Making her debut with the orchestra is Portuguese pianist Maria João Pires, who will play Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. Guest conductor Krzysztof Urbański will lead the chorus and the Georgia Boy Choir in March 2024 performances of perhaps the most recognizable choral piece of the last century, “Carmina Burana.” She will conduct the ASO Chorus in evenings of Brahms and Rachmaninov in November, and performances of Verdi’s “Requiem” in February. Stutzmann is a world-class contralto who began her career as a vocalist. The evenings will include Simon’s “brea(d)th” and “Motherboxx Connection,” and Uzee Brown’s “We Shall Overcome.” Jonathan Taylor Rush conducts. Please have a look at the supporting documents and contact your Account Manager for more details.Stutzmann, only the second woman to lead a top 25 orchestra, will focus on literature from the Romantic composers, including an all-Strauss program on April 11, 2024, featuring eminent soprano Renée Fleming singing “Four Last Songs,” “Four Orchestral Songs,” and selections from “Der Rosenkavalier” and “Capriccio.”įormer Atlantan and Grammy-winning composer Carlos Simon curates concerts in February to celebrate Black History Month, featuring the glee clubs of Morehouse College and Spelman College, as well as poet and spoken-word performer Marc Bamuthi Joseph.

So for this week’s column, I’m taking a look at some very good recent releases, albums or mixtapes that all qualify as underground rap but which approach the genre from different angles, with different values. It’s a lot of different sounds, growing in a lot of different places, many of which have little to no overlap with one another. But right now, rap’s underground is more of a nebulous thing. There is good Rawkus-type music being made right now, for sure. The phrase “underground rap” tends to evoke the late-’90s Rawkus Records phenomenon, the cerebral form of New York rap that arose as a reaction against a previous generation’s excesses. Underground rap is having an absolute golden moment right now there is so much good music out there that even someone like me, whose entire job is to take stock of this stuff, can have trouble keeping up. The pure omnipresence of trap music can get a little bit oppressive, and from a certain light, the rise of, say, Playboi Carti can begin to look like the death of everything you love about rap music. Sometimes, that even leads to rap-sucks-now end-times talk. Still, there’s plenty of old-head grousing about “mumble-rap,” about the new generations of kids who have forsaken their values and adapted completely different skill-sets. The trap backlash is nothing like the disco backlash even if it were physically possible to detonate Rae Sremmurd streams in the middle of a baseball stadium, I don’t think anyone would do it. 2″ is our “Miss You”? None of this matches up very well, but it’s still a fun game.) And as with disco, there are a lot of people who really, really hate trap. (Lil Wayne is our Diana Ross? “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. As in the disco era, aging stars are scrambling to catch up, to either find some foothold or to forcefully reject everything that’s happening, and that’s having mixed results. Desiigner is our version of whoever sang “Disco Duck.” Like disco, trap is party music, with its own values and its own drugs. Future and Metro Boomin are our Nile Rodgers and Chic. As with disco, there is good trap music and terrible trap music. It’s built around a very specific aesthetic blueprint, right down to its drum pattern, with skittering 808 hi-hats instead of four-on-the-floor bass-drum thump. Think about it: Trap is an absolutely dominant commercial force. It’s our late-’10s equivalent of what was happening in the late ’70s. This is a complete bullshit occurs-to-you-in-the-shower thought, but bear with me here: Trap music is our disco.

For his many writings, including The Second World War (6 vol., 1948–53) he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 his later works include his History of the English-Speaking Peoples (4 vol., 1956–58). He led the Conservative Party back into power in 1951 and remained prime minister until 1955, when ill health forced his resignation. After the war he alerted the West to the expansionist threat of the Soviet Union. Though he was the architect of victory, his government was defeated in the 1945 elections. With Franklin Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin, he shaped Allied strategy through the Atlantic Charter and at the Cairo, Casablanca, and Tehran conferences. He committed himself and the nation to an all-out war until victory was achieved, and his great eloquence, energy, and indomitable fortitude made him an inspiration to his countrymen, especially in the Battle of Britain. After Neville Chamberlain resigned, Churchill headed a coalition government as prime minister (1940–45). When war broke out, he was appointed to his old post as head of the Admiralty. In the years before World War II, his warnings of the threat posed by Adolf Hitler’s Germany were repeatedly ignored. He quickly rose to prominence and served in several cabinet posts, including first lord of the Admiralty (1911–15), though in World War I and during the following decade he acquired a reputation for erratic judgment. Fame as a military hero helped him win election to the House of Commons in 1900. After joining the 4th Hussars in 1895, he saw service as both a soldier and a journalist, and his dispatches from India and South Africa attracted wide attention.

Outside of the enemies attacking your base (which is not random but based on when the pollution from your base reaches their nests) there are no events that are usually there to spice things up. The enemies are optionnal and only meant to keep you going deeper in the tech tree, and the only real goal there is to guide you is to launch a rocket (not technically the end of the game but nearly the end of the tech tree, what you do after that is self-imposed goals). It's not a bad game in itself, especially for those that are not well versed in this genre but it remains as a game half-way between a full game and a browser game in term of scope and complexity (on the other hand the price is low so it definitely has its place).Ĭompared to that factorio barely has any combat (you can easily out-tech the enemies and be defended forever with fairly little infrastructure in the mid-late game). Mindustry is more of a small scale infrastructure you make in order to fuel your defenses, with a fairly heavy emphasis on the combat part. Maybe I'm not giving Mindustry enough credit, but based on my experiences, does Factorio sound like something I should finally go ahead and buy? I found myself wanting more long-term optimization and logistical problem-solving, or at least some that felt like it mattered in the long run. On top of that, having to leave my bases behind and rebuild the same basic setup every time I land doesn't scratch my creativity itch very well. I enjoyed solving some of the logistic problems but I found it getting heavily outweighed by the "resource hoarding" feel that it has set up your factory and let it run while you defend it. I just recently found a game called Mindustry that people in the reviews were calling "Factorio-lite" and thought it was worth a try. I DO enjoy some optimzation, but I'm the kind of guy who likes to play with concrete goals and goalposts as well. It looks like it could be fun but I found myself concerned about whether or not the optimization loop would eventually get too tedious or too grueling. I've been a long time fence sitter for Factorio. The title is not meant to trigger anyone, I promise. Bush paid his respects several years ago.

I Scream Sundae is a fun ice cream shop that's just a short drive off the Ripley interstate exit. Is the theory just that medieval Spaniards had plural names for the hours of the day, so they moved from saying “buenos maitines” to “buenos días”? Is there a record of people saying “buenos maitines” or an explanation for why a practice that was common in most of Christian Europe only led to pluralizing “good days” in one of those languages? After all, English also had plural Matins, Vespers, etc., as did Italy and a bunch of other languages that stick with the singular for “good day.
