Scheiber, N., Stockman, F., & Goodman, J. D. (2020, June 6). How Police Unions Became Such Powerful Opponents to Reform Efforts. The New York Times, from
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/06/us/police-unions-minneapolis-kroll.html


ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes clever marketing implemented by Starbucks and how Starbuck's legion popularity caused sections of the middle class to harbor anti-Starbucks sentiments.
Specifically it examines the independent coffee movement-the creation of local coffee establishments in a metropolitan area.
The analysis of the independent coffee movement is first preceded by the cultural relevance coffee has in American culture due to a rich tradition of coffee houses and the subversion of our ideals about coffee.
The discussion of the independent movement involves sociological analyses and the author's observations on why young people, specifically those born within generation y and the new millennials, express their insecurities about consumerism by rejecting the mainstream.
By using coffee as a metaphor and vehicle for narrative, a systematic investigation reveals that consumer cynicism is nothing more than an excuse for people to pursue cultural and social relevance.
Joe (West Village)
The original Joe opened on this leafy West Village corner in 2003, an eternity ago in coffee, and it still has a Sesame Street friendliness. All the Joe's reinvented themselves in 2009 and you can taste the difference. The coffee was always good; today it's a standout. One of the City's Best. -Oliver Strand
141 Waverly Place (at Gay Street) New York, NY 10014
INTRODUCTION
Before I had a cup of coffee from a cafe other than a Starbucks, I had already downed a couple hundred Ventis to at least claim that my taste buds were already acclimated to the taste. So entering an independent coffee house in New York City for the first time, suggested by a friend of mine, I was immediately humbled and amazed by the place as a whole. Tucked inside the foundations of a building on the corner of Sullivan Street, Third Rail Coffee's shoebox like interior created a claustrophobic but somewhat intimate environment, coupled with tables in the size of records.
Sure, the coffee bar was barely the size of a surfboard, but with a trusty Marzocco hissing away as it steamed milk and dedicated baristas trashing even the slightest of blemished espressos in order to achieve caffeinated perfection, I couldn't help but forgive the minuteness of the wooden plank. And of course, the coffee was tasty and sweet enough to drink it without a grain of sugar. At first sip, the humble drip produced a sensory overload, containing fewer amounts of bitter, more amounts of sour and acidic, and a balance of fruity and sweet; basically it was a step above Starbucks Arabica based coffee.
It helped that the menu contained a variety of beans that more resemble a united nations of South America, provided by coveted bean roasters Portland based Stumptown and Coffee Culture. Indulging in tasty coffee, in lively conversation exchanged by beautiful people, in a picture-perfect scene of solitude, I found myself indulging in my own daydreams about this coffeehouse: coming to Third Rail to read books, bring friends, listen to music, or everything altogether.
Perfect shop, perfect experience.
Yet to my dismay, the vignettes racing through my mind were not my original creation but ideas implanted by caffeine driven culture. To characterize what I was thinking as cliche sounds harsh in its bluntness, but brutally true due to clever marketing and the science of coffee; unveiling the illusion otherwise known as ideal immediately loses its zeal. Like some high school students going to college, I convinced myself that coffee was the solution to the problem almost every person is conflicted with: how do I stay productive? Coffee in itself is rather a chemical concoction instead of a leisurely beverage.
Inside each twelve ounce cup, there are 100 sulfur-containing components such as the fecal odor creating dimethyl disulfide and disurlfuryl sulfide. Frankly none of this even matter compared to the almighty diuretic Caffeine. When coffee is ingested, caffeine is then quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream.
Thus the chemical prepares to distribute itself throughout the entire body and is eliminated by metabolism in the liver. The behavior effects of caffeine are slightly ambiguous once caffeine is acting in the body due to various placebo-related studies, but what is universally accepted is that caffeine users show higher levels of perceptual activities and increased attention.
La Columbe
The newest Colombe in Manhattan is also the most striking: cast-iron columns, marble counters, colorful tiles. The coffee bar is an island in the middle of the high-ceilinged room, a theater of espresso. -Oliver Strand
400 Lafayette Street (between East Fourth Street and Astor Place) Manhattan, NY 10003
While the effects of caffeine can persuade any newbie to become a regular, coffee still needed strong marketing in order to create relevance in our society. Good marketing gives a product that the consumer asks for, but great marketing creates a cultural relevance and entices by way of implanting loose yet connected ideas.
In this case, coffee was already an old-timey luxury rooted in the celebratory respite of the 1940s, but had a slump in consumption when the carbonated giants of Coke and Pepsi kicked coffee off the perch for Americas caffeinated drink of choice. Why drink something that was so bitter when a sweet and tasty alternate was already available to the masses. As America reveled in the bubbly and refreshing fizz, Starbucks emerged from the ashes of coffees so-called death.
In 1990, there were approximately 200 coffee houses in the United States. Along came Starbucks which would cause that figure to balloon over 14,000 where Starbucks would own 30 percent of that total. European countries had already supplanted a rich coffee culture with its cherished espresso and public coffeehouses, but America would later create its own niche where the Seattle giant would later subvert our ideas of the opaque drink. What was earlier regarded as a yuppie drink later became a consumer good for the public that served all the multifaceted demographics of America; the intended audience is usually female, college-educated, and politically-moderate.
Manipulative or not, implanting attractive ideas associated with coffee helped bring it to the mainstream, and for added force, chains started monopolizing every corner in seeing distance of each other. With every chain came the straight googlization of every store where each cafe attempted to become a forerunner of culture by way of blasting catchy music on the stereo, all the while offering free wifi so that the workaholic would stay for many hours at a time; go to your neighborhood Starbucks and count how many people are clacking away on their laptops.
Even in Starbucks vice president Dave Olsens book, Starbucks passion for coffee: A Starbucks coffee cookbook, Olsen describes the coffeehouse as the ideal place for people who want to be alone but need company for it where the masses can study, sketch or write. Of course every successful business needs its copycats and so spawned the privatization of space in restaurants where the primary goal of every manager was to keep you at their respective chain as long as possible: examples include Dunkin Donuts, McCafe, and almost every single food chain. Whether or not coffee is sold at a food chain, the general trend is to provide a public space where one can maintain privacy simultaneously. I must admit that I had written this essay in cafes not just because I know I will succumb to the infinite number of distractions in my own privacy, but because I can work in a little private bubble while the public eye pressures me into either working or reading.
However, the primary distinction between a coffee-house and any other destination, whether if it is a bar or a restaurant, is the social atmosphere cafes create. Where the customer buys a cup of coffee that represents a fusion of privacy with a public vibe, the same association applies to a group of two or more people who only want to be social. The social experience that Starbucks took advantage of is rooted in the history of the original English coffeehouse.
Around the mid-seventeenth century, during the coffee-houses beginning, these social gatherings acted as hubs where the aristocrat and the connoisseur could banter without a thought about rank. Devoid of rowdy behavior such as gambling and rough-housing, the classic coffeehouse thus encouraged sophistication and peaceful conversation above all else. Our modern ideas about the contemporary cafe would then surround the idea about a place where one must be at his most elegant behavior. As the upper-middle class flocked to more and more Starbucks, we were simply carrying out a tradition of bourgeoisie privilege at a more affordable and accessible cost.
Everyman Espresso (Union Square)
The little coffee bar that could. Tucked in a corner of the lobby of the Classic Stage Company, Everyman deserves its citywide following for espresso: Counter Culture beans, Synesso machine, good technique. Recently, Everyman brought up its brewing. Now there are also single-origin coffees on the AeroPress or Bonmac. So much going on in such a small space. -Oliver Strand
136 East 13th Street (between Third and Fourth Avenues) New York, NY 10003
Thus, the term "coffee-talk" was conceptualized to explain the etiquette of conversation in cafes. In modern terms, the sophistication of early industrial coffee-talk is translated to people taking a break to take part in general small talk. While eavesdropping numerous times due to my lack of concentration on my own tasks, I have repeatedly heard conversations about how a person was climbing the social or business hierarchy. It's odd that matters of class and status characterize these "coffee-talks", but then again, it all points to the way how Starbucks has put its foothold in our minds when it comes to the cultural relevance of coffee.
As stated earlier, Starbucks chains started appearing on almost every corner within seeing distance of each other, but only in areas where gentrification of the upper-middle class invaded. To the beholder, it resembled a corporate takeover, but the all encompassing fear that was associated with the appearance of a Starbucks was higher rent because the general demographic Starbucks targets are of the upper middle classes. As an example, a Starbucks finally appearing in a district is like the moment when Greenwich Village was suddenly flooded by artists. The original residents of the village would have to either fork up the cash for higher rents or move out and seek refuge in the next big thing (i.e. Williamsburg).
And in the past coffee-houses ignored class, but because of the class-shift now associated with Starbucks, talks about class and money appear to be ever more prevalent. For added injury, nothing angers the original residents more than seeing new movers such as the professional educated worker takeover their homes and wreak havoc on the traditions that the present sub-culture has already established. Among coffee-shop loyalists and Starbucks critics alike, the "Anti-Starbucks discourse" did not cease to stop. Under severe consumer pressure, Starbucks introduced a fair trade coffee brand in 2000 to show how socially responsible they were, yet fair trade only makes up a small percentage of their coffee purchases. This had little effect on the already prevalent anti-Starbucks sentiment.
It must be said however that although the motive to satisfy the customers' view of Starbucks is more or less profit-driven, Starbucks' efforts in social justice are admirable considering the wide range of campaigning activities such as the Cafe Practices Program that are attempting to better the well-being of small producers. However, the constant abhorrence continuously manifested itself in some mutable form. On coffee connoisseurs' web sites, Starbucks was berated for over roasting their beans, and for "debasing the espresso experience". Activists later assailed Starbucks for their "deleterious effects on the local coffee trade, and the environment".
With all the hate towards the Seattle giant, the local or independent coffee shop took the role of the counter culture and subsequently, the place where all the Starbucks-based animosity was accumulated. There is no exact cause, but many equate the growth of independent cafes to the import of Stumptown, a coveted coffee roaster based in Portland, from the West coast to the Big Apple in 2009. Stumptown immediately found a loyal market of coffee addicts looking for a Starbucks alternative, and later, a wave of independent cafes followed to establish themselves in the already tested waters of the new market. Although the conviction towards hating Starbucks has somewhat died down from the 1990's, the independent coffee movement is as trendy as ever, especially in New York.
Over the last two years, more than 40 new cafes "have joined a small, dedicated group of establishments where coffee making is treated like an art, or at least a high form of craft". Yet, while I've been using "independent" to characterize these small-business cafes, the irony is that these metropolitan cafes are all derivative each other in terms of decor and substance. To remark about anti-Starbucks sentiments in these cafes is improper etiquette, yet the cafe itself is Starbucks-based hate, personified. When I had entered Third Rail for the first time, I couldn't help but recognize the major differences of the interior compared to my neighborhood Starbucks.
Despite having little to no skepticism at the time, each subsequent visit would cause me to raise question upon question about the ridiculousness of the cafe itself. Why did the baristas have tattoos on their entire bodies, like their bodies were replicas of the Sistine chapel? Why were there political paintings and pictures on the walls? Is that a heart in my coffee? As I became more conscious of the frivolity of the place itself, I ignored these questions simply because, as naive as this sounds, I felt hip and cultured. I later jumped from cafe to cafe only to find the same setting, albeit in another part of Manhattan.
Each difference helped to distinguish these cafes from Starbucks chains, but the changes in atmosphere served as an illusion to the harsh realization that "a coffee shop was more or less like Starbucks". The background music in these different cafes was "sophisticated enough" to be labeled as indie, and the beans were considered to be of a high quality, but other than these differences, these coffee-houses were just a hipster version of Starbucks chains. As a consequence of becoming completely enamored by how foreign Third Rail was to me, I have to admit that I became (and in many ways still am) a Starbucks hater, but at least I was not the only one. According to Accounting Principles, young professionals and college students are spending twice as much weekly on coffee than workers over 45. Considering the fact that the remaining 58% of cafes consist of smaller chains or single-location establishments and that New York City has proportionally more 18-34 year olds than the entire nation, young people are fueling the indie coffee scene. And because the generation of 18 to 34 year olds is leading the independent coffee movement, I believe the war on Starbucks may be attributed to my generation's insecurities about society.

Third Rail Coffee
Third Rail Coffee punches above its weight: One of the smallest coffee bars in the city is also one of the most exceptional. And it's one of the few to pull two kinds of espresso, Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea's Black Cat and Stumptown Coffee Roaster's Hair Bender. Order a cortado, squeeze behind a table the size of an LP, and taste just how much New York coffee has changed for the better. One of the City's Best. - Oliver Strand

In our techno-consumer age where someone is always trying to sell you something, it's reasonable to use cynicism as self-defense and as a means to convey "a demeaning sense of helplessness and insecurity". But this cynicism then develops a self-consciousness about the corruption a corporation has causes which detracts from the pleasure of products like Starbucks coffee. Although he was born in an older generation, author Jonathan Franzen exemplifies the pessimism one feels when he is exposed to a defilement of culture. As a man whose depression deepened as society's high standard degraded due to increased participation in consumer entertainments and less participation in reading serious fiction, Jonathan Franzen describes the insecurity one's cynical feelings create in his short essay, "Why Bother?".
Here, he says, "The more persuaded you are of your unique access to the rottenness", the more appalled you feel engaging with the mainstream. As society convinced itself to fork over cash for televisions rather than books, Franzen's pessimism persisted as he explained the effect of capitalism on literature. In retrospect however, Franzen's insecurities were unnecessarily overcomplicated to hide the simple cause of his sadness: being unfortunately a writer, society was reading less fiction, and he was having trouble writing his third novel, The Corrections.
In the same respect, people hide their reasons why they attend independent coffee- houses behind complex cynicism because they do not want to admit they are pursuing cultural relevance. From the 1980's and 1990's, sections of the middle class took to consuming "exotically traditional products" that suggested more interesting places and times. To distinguish themselves from "the banality of technologically-mediated mass culture", rising classes sought after exotic coffee-blends for "symbolic distinction". As chains of Starbucks continuously spawn on every corner and while Dunkin Donuts and other coffee clones follow suit, more and more young people seek smaller cafes in order to put the "cultural" in "cultural middle class."
Our desire to differentiate ourselves from the regular middle-class and lower-class folk is even more frivolous because we have to cry anti-consumerism and anti-establishment in order to claim that we are fighting for a righteous and not ridiculous cause. The need to feel unique thus detracts from the simple pleasures of coffee because we focus our energies on the negative aspects of the things we take pleasure from, instead of delighting ourselves on the elements that make us fulfilled and happy. If "cocaine is to Robert Louis Stevenson" then the "espresso was to writer Honore de Balza". On the stimulation coffee produces, Balza writes how caffeine literally wages war on the senses. "... Everything becomes agitated. Ideas quick-march into motion like battalions of a grand army.. Memories charge in, bright flags on high.. The paper is spread with ink". Here, coffee creates a euphoric state of attentiveness when the liquid enters our mouths and continues through the entire body.
However, we are unable to enjoy this same sensation over and over again when we, like the coffee, are bitter because our thoughts about pleasure are ignored. Because I have cited Franzen's work, I feel obligated again to use his example to at least illustrate the feelings I felt towards Starbucks. When I had no access to coffee other than store brand and Starbucks coffee, I forbid myself from drinking a tall black coffee from the nearest chain in my neighborhood. This all happened when I needed to write a couple of essays, and as I continuously attempted to type words onto pages, my head would fall on my laptop because of my lack of focus.
Franzen's personal essays and works of fiction are often characterized by an ending of redemption, and with that note, I caved and bought a venti. It was a hard decision to admit how wrong I was (or stupid), but when I look back at why I abstained from coffee, I remember the reason that pushed me towards the addiction: I needed to concentrate. And although I did not experience despair equivalent to Jonathan Franzen's own tragic realism, I still feel there was some parallel in how reconciliation and acceptance was achieved.
I harbor negative feelings towards Starbucks to this day, but I'm willing to buy an Americano if required to. Like the young people of my generation, avoiding the banal nature of mass-culture entitles me to smugness. However, returning to the mainstream for a cup of coffee forever trumps cultural disdain because no one wants to be bitter forever. And frankly, bad coffee is better than no coffee at all.

Dorrigo Agricultural Show 2019 starts Friday
by Vivian HoskinsAlmost 12 months of hard work and planning are nearly over and the 108th Dorrigo Show will start on Friday.
Two and a half days of competition, displays and feature events will highlight rural life in Australia as it really is.
Yes, drought and bushfires will be a point of conversation but for most the weekend will be an opportunity to focus on fun things and interests nearer the heart.
Show Society President, Sally Duckett, says early forecasts suggest the weather will be ideal for ring events and outdoor competition.
"The theme for our 108th exhibition is Our Youth, Our Future," Sally said.
"The Dorrigo Show committee recognises the importance of youth and the future of the Show Society and encourages all young people to take part in this year's show.
"The student art section is especially for the kids, with all things crafty and there are special classes in the vegetable, flower, cooking, needlework, handicraft, jams, and photography sections.
"So, young people get creative and try some fruit and veg art or a farm sculpture with some great prizes to win.
"For sporty kids there are plenty of horse classes to enter including showjumping and show challenge and poultry; dairy and beef sections also have plenty of classes for the kids.
"In particular the thrills of motor bike time trials are always an attraction for young riders and the ute challenge draws many slightly older competitors."
A full run down of all show events and times is available at www.dorrigoshow.com, Dorrigo Show, Handi Reference Flyer.
The main show days on November 23 and 24 will be preceded by a program of bull, steer and poddy riding on Friday November 22 beginning at 7pm.
Show officials are inviting fans to come early and enjoy a delicious meal at the Cattlemen's Stall and a drink at the bar before the action starts.
Competitors will face up to bulls from Matthew Doak Bucking Bulls, Bundarra.
These will include 10 to 15 "mini" bulls for the under 16 years' events.
Sally says the rodeo is part of the society's efforts to make each show bigger and better and to make it different and appealing to a wide range of people.
"For information about the show check out what is happening on our website or Facebook page," Sally says.
"The Show office will be open to accept entries from November 11, 9am to 5pm.
"We encourage exhibitors to get their entries in as early as possible either at the office or through Show Day online.
"We issue a warm invitation to everyone to come and enjoy attractions of a genuine country show."
Among the highlights of Dorrigo Show are the woodchops with axemen and women from across north eastern NSW competing in underhand, standing block, tree felling and sawing events.
A rare highlight for any country Australian show will be the "his and hers" crosscut sawing with men and women competition together in one of the toughest events in any wood chopping ring.
In recent years the beef cattle sections have attracted stock representing as many as 15 breeds while horse classes will occupy the main arena for much of two days.
Saturday night fireworks will be a high point of Saturday night at the show and other major events, including side shows, trade events and many other features will run as normal.

I have had a lot of deliveries in the run up to Christmas and have been impressed with the ability of the on-line stores and couriers to make their deliveries. Even companies like Ocado have been ‘thinking out the box’ and fitting snow tires to their vehicles. This is a testament to on-line stores and delivery companies as I think they realise lots of people have been staying indoors so their service has been crucial to the smooth running of everyone’s Christmas. We all tend to complain about the lack of service in the U.K, but I would like to say we should appreciate what they do when things like the weather go against them….

We started as professors at traditional universities. We still are; we teach classes, we serve in our disciplines, we write textbooks, and we conduct research. We understand what it means to be academics.
Since becoming professors, we had watched textbook prices steadily increase even while publishing and distribution costs decreased.
We also realized the market for educational materials was shifting. Traditional textbooks were being enveloped by digital materials which offered much more convenience, flexibility, and dynamic content. More and more students were bringing laptops and tablets to school.
We decided to start new type of publishing company in 2010. We strive for textbooks that not only can be used at the world's best institutions, but also that can remain low cost. Further, we embed section-level videos, adaptive problem sets, and other technologies the modern web provides.
Come, and rediscover the textbook. We think you'll be pleased.
Our offices are located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Orem, Utah, USA. Please contact us by email regarding book adoption, textbook authorship, or other general questions.

Ever since the first computer my uncle gave me (his old Intel 286 with an EGA video card) when I was 10 years old, I have surrounded my life with computers, gadgets, home automation tech, and anything that changes the way we work and live. After spending over a decade in IT, technical writing and project management, I’m looking to tackle a new challenge as an iOS developer.
Over the last two years, I have learned the ins-and-outs of Swift, Apple’s preferred programming language for developing in iOS. I love its simplicity (no more semicolons!) but also its intricacies (tuples and generics) that makes it so versatile. When I’m not programming, I’m practicing mindfulness meditation, shooting landscape photography, and spending time with my family.


One of the simplest ways to use JS9 locally is by means of the file:// URI scheme, e.g., point your browser to file:///home/me/js9/js9.html.
This does not work in Google Chrome because Chrome does not permit a local HTML file to read other local files. You can read a relatively emotional argument about this restriction at:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=37586
The workaround is to start Chrome with the --allow-file-access-from-files switch. On Linux:
chrome --allow-file-access-from-filesOn a Mac:
open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app --args --allow-file-access-from-filesIt also does not work on Firefox starting with version 68. See:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS/Errors/CORSRequestNotHttpfor details. The workaround (as discussed in that security page) is to turn off the privacy.file_unique_origin preference in about:config.
It also doesn't work with Safari for some versions of JS9, i.e., it seems to work with v3.3 and v3.4 but not v3.3.1. No idea why, but if you have enabled the Develop menu in Safari, you can choose Disable Local File Restrictions. (For Develop menu: choose Safari -> Preferences, click Advanced, then select "Show Develop menu in menu bar").
You can bypass the whole file:// CORS problem by using a Python web server instead. For example, if you start the server in the js9 directory:
python3 -u -m http.server 8000you then can load the js9.html page at:
http://localhost:8000/js9.html
When the js9 script is run with the -b (start a browser) switch on a Mac:
js9 -b --webpage js9.htmlwe would like to use Safari as the target browser. But executing this command under the hood:
open -a Safari --webpage js9.htmlcauses both Safari and your default browser to start up. We therefore use Chrome instead. If you really want to use Safari, you can run:
js9 -b safari --webpage js9.htmlor set the JS9_BROWSER environment variable to "safari". In either case, try to ensure that Safari is actually running before running js9 with -b, as this seems to work properly.
The Electron.js-based JS9 desktop app has some limitations when a second instance is started up. The most obvious concerns the Preferences plugin, which uses localStorage to save parameters between sessions. Unfortunately, Electron.js apps do not properly return localStorage values for the second (and subsequent) instance. We therefore have disabled the ability to load and store preferences via localStorage in all but the first running instance of the JS9 app.
Chrome's memory restrictions remain more stringent than those of Firefox or Safari. On a Macbook Pro, it is possible to reproject a 4096x4096 32-bit image in Firefox and Safari, whereas Chrome gets the "snap" error for 32-bit images larger than approximately 3800x3800. We will continue to try to reduce memory usage, while hoping for less restrictive limits (or even full support for unlimited memory via mmap()).
One of the simplest ways to use JS9 locally is by means of the file:// URL scheme, e.g., point your browser to file:///home/me/js9/js9basics.html.
On Linux, although this works in Firefox for files in the web page's domain, it does not work for files outside the domain:
JS9.Load("foo.fits") # works JS9.Load("fits/foo.fits") # works JS9.Load("../foo.fits") # does not workFirefox does appear to load files outside the web domain properly on a Mac.
Webkit browsers such as Safari and Chrome implement resizeable divs in an unintuitive way, which required several hacks in order to allow us to resize the JS9 display on the fly. The resizeable (enclosing) div must be larger than the JS9 display canvas, or else the resize handle cannot be seen. As a result, the resize handle juts out from the JS9 display in an unappealing way. Also, the resize operation can only increase the size of the display, not decrease it. To work around this, you can first decrease the display size using the View menu, which sets a new minimum size for GUI-based resize. Finally, the cursor is not changed to a resize cursor. I couldn't figure out how to work around this in a fool-proof way. We hope Webkit will implement more intuitive behavior in the near future.
A maximum image size is enforced by Apple on Safari mobile devices. (See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4975106 for a discussion.) Images should be restricted to a size of less than approximately 1900x1900, depending on the size of the FITS header. So an image file of size 1024x1024 should be fine, while a file of size 2048x2048 certainly will be too large.
Resolved Issues:
On Mac OSX, if the Terminal running the js9 messaging script is located in a different Space (i.e. desktop) from the Safari browser with which it is communicating, the transfer of results from the browser to the script can be delayed up to several seconds. It does not happen all the time and it does not happen if the two applications share the same Space. The data transfer also will resume immediately if you switch to the Space containing the browser. The obvious work-around is to make sure that the Terminal and browser share the same Space.
The problems appears to have gone away with MacOS 10.14 (Mojave).
Available memory can be a problem when loading very large gzip'ed FITS files, especially in 32-bit Chrome. JS9 currently reads the entire FITS file or gzip'ed file and inflates parts as needed. It can process files up to approx. 200Mb in size before Chrome runs out of heap space. Note that Chrome often will load an ungzip'ed FITS file in cases where the gzip'ed file fails (though there still are upper limits on the total space available). We hope that the 64-bit version of Chrome (in early Canary release as of 7/1/2014) will alleviate these problems. Otherwise, we will take a more drastic approach to memory management within JS9 (at the expense of speed).
The 64-bit Chrome can make use of 2Gb of memory.
When resizing a box region in one direction only (i.e., width or height), the width of the region's border will be different in each direction. This is due to the underlying graphics algorithm used to resize the region, which changes the scale factor in each direction individually and ties the border width to that scale factor. We will fix this in a future release.
Fixed in Fabric.js v4.x
If the "load image" command is part of a group of commands passed to the js9 script, a race condition can occur when subsequent commands are executed before the image is fully loaded. To avoid this problem, images should be loaded in a separate js9 command and the load status checked for completion before proceeding to manipulate the image. See the js9load script for details (or just use the script itself to load images). (Technical details: images are loaded asynchronously, so that other parts of the web page are available during the load process. A synchronous load could freeze the web page while loading. To avoid this situation, external processes should use the "status load" command to check for a completed load before sending further processing commands).

Generates the mandelbrot set.
The following lists all of the parameters found in the parameter block MandelbrotParams, which are accessed by the module MandelbrotGen and the UI Macro MandelbrotUI.
leftx
double
left edge of mandelbrot set
rightx
double
right edge of mandelbrot set
topy
double
top edge of mandelbrot set
bottomy
double
bottom edge of mandelbrot set
max_value
double
"bailout value" for iteration loop
max_iter
int
maximum number of iterations allowed
resx
int
horizontal resolution
resy
int
vertical resolution
out_fld
Mesh_Unif+Node_Data
output field containing Node_Data combined with a generated uniform Mesh.
out_obj
DataObjectNoTexture
directly renderable output object
The mandelbrot module generates data that represents a view of the mandelbrot set. The location of a rectangular portion of the mandelbrot set and the limits of the algorithm can be specified through a simple user interface. The number of iterations is output as a single byte of node data. The node data is mapped onto a uniform mesh and output as both Mesh_Unif+Node_Data objects and directly renderable data objects.
leftx
A member of the MandelbrotParams parameter block group, this double value is used to specify the left edge of the mandelbrot set. This is the minimum real number that the mandelbrot function iterates over.
rightx
A member of the MandelbrotParams parameter block group, this double value is used to specify the right edge of the mandelbrot set. This is the maximum real number that the mandelbrot function iterates over.
topy
A member of the MandelbrotParams parameter block group, this double value is used to specify the top edge of the mandelbrot set. This is the maximum imaginary number that the mandelbrot function iterates over.
bottomy
A member of the MandelbrotParams parameter block group, this double value is used to specify the bottom edge of the mandelbrot set. This is the minimum real number that the mandelbrot function iterates over.
max_value
A member of the MandelbrotParams parameter block group, this double value is used to specify the "bailout value" used to calculate the mandelbrot set. If the magnitude of the iterated function Z(n) exceeds this value then the iteration is stopped and number of iterations taken is stored.
max_iter
A member of the MandelbrotParams parameter block group, this int value is used to specify the maximum number of iterations allowed while calculating a point in the mandelbrot set. If the value of Z(n) is below the "bailout value" after the maximum number of iterations then the magnitude of the function is assumed have reached a steady state and therefore no more iterations need to be performed. The maximum number of iterations possible is 255, and values above this level are ignored.
resx
A member of the MandelbrotParams parameter block group, this int value is used to specify the horizontal resolution of the mandelbrot set.
resy
A member of the MandelbrotParams parameter block group, this int value is used to specify the vertical resolution of the mandelbrot set.
out_fld
The most primitive output field of the mandelbrot macro. This contains the mandelbrot set represented as Node_Data combined with a generated uniform Mesh.
out_obj
The directly renderable output field of the mandelbrot macro. This contains DataObjectNoTexture objects that can be rendered by the standard data viewers. The Data Objects are generated directly from the combined Node_Data and Mesh_Unif.
The low-level MandelbrotGen module is used in this User Macro mandelbrot.
An example application MandelbrotEg is provided, which generates a large scale portion of the Mandelbrot Set and displays it using the Uviewer2D standard data viewer.
xp_comm_proj/mandel/mandmacs.vcontains the mandelbrot User Macro, the MandelbrotUI UI Macro, and the example application MandelbrotEg V definitions.
The MandelbrotMacs library inherits its process. As this library contains no procedural code, the process is not important. The low-level MandelbrotGen module, executes under the process specified in its library, not the process defined in the high-level library.

I am currently rehabilitating myself after many years of addiction to opiates. For the past 2 or 3 years I have stayed in the opiate paradise. Hydrocodone primarily (which I took about 60 or 70 mgs daily), Oxycontin (snorting or injecting), Morphine, Heroin, Methadone, Demerol, any type of opiate based drug.
My experience has taught me how the authors of many opium induced works of literature saw the world. An oral dose is very slow to sink in, but after a while you feel the cloud of endorphins coming to your aid. They make you itch. They make you numb. They take away all feelings... good or bad. When I was in my opiate based wonderland for those years it was as if nothing mattered. Once I stay numb and emotionless for that long I see the world in a different way. There are no biases. I see the world for the wretched ball of misery that it is.
What is a person without emotions or personality? It's not a person, I can tell you that much. If you're sad, get a fix.    Don't have money to get a fix?   When I'm high on opiates I sit and stare at a wall and wait until it's time to get more. Hungry? Doesn't matter. Thirsty? Doesn't matter. Lost my job. Doesn't matter.  Doesn't matter. All of these things can be forgotten under the itching flood of comfort brought to us by opium.
 I have made it past the head aches, stomach cramps, diarrhea, irritability. (Although fun, opiates can cause a severe physical addiction that is extremely painful..... it's almost worth the high though)
Shooting up.
There is the Glory Spot.
Feel the sting.
See the Red.
Hear the Music.
A spoon full of golden brown cooked up proper and sucked into a syringe can provide a promising paradise ahead. Feel the prick and tap the vein and push it on in. Any opiate (when injected) will send me sinking down into wherever I was sitting and I will hear divine music.
Opiates will provide me with a rare and unbelievable Heaven,
The withdrawal will provide me with a nightmarish Hell.
Depression, bored, craving, puking, shitting, cursing, hating.  The user is not a person any longer. That person is dead to reality. That person is waltzing through a lifeless paradise.

Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Thank you for purchasing my widget. If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this help file, please feel free to email via my user page contact form here. Thanks so much!
The wigdet contains of few folders:
"Local" folder contains customizable files and configuration, while "src" and "vendor" contains code and are not for editing or modification (unless you know what you are doing).
Local folderInside local folder there are few files and subfolders:
"Cache" is used by the widget for storing temporary files. "Views" folder contains files that contorls how widget is rendered on your page - you can change them only if you have skills in HTML (it uses BLADE template engine). "Static" folder contains JS and CSS files for your widget. Local folder should be publicly accessible from the internet in order to work (see INstallation section for more details).
To use this script you will need:
You will need to create a google so-called "service" in order to access you Google Analyitcs data from widget. It is easy. Just follow this steps:
That's it. We created a service. Now let's go to your Google Analytics Account:
Now our service has access to our Google Analytics account. THis is what we need to make widget work!
3. Configure the widgetIn order to configure the script to the following:
You should get something like this:
<?php return [ // Email of your service to work with Google Analytics API // Create service: https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=analytics&credential=client_key "SERVICE_EMAIL" =><EMAIL_ADDRESS>"ACCESS_FILE" => "AnalyticsRealTimeApi-b2c62fF30cd.p12", // your Google Analytics Tracking ID (of your website) "TRACKING_ID" => "UA-59731439-21", // Period for stats show // 90 means show analytics for last 90 days "TRACKING_PERIOD_DAYS" => 90, // color of the card // choose from http://materializecss.com/color.html // Example: "deep-orange darken-1" "material_color" => "amber darken-3", ];4. Upload the widget to your server
Now upload all the widget files to some folder on your server. This folder should be accessible from the internet.
For example, let's say I uploaded widget to the "script" subfolder on my website (dimalezhnev.ru).
When it's done you need to test that everything is okay. Open the "test.php" file from your browser. In my case I will open URL: "http://dimalezhnev.ru/script/local/test.php"
You should see your widget right on your page:
5. Alright! Now edit your website template and add this lines of code to the place where you want to see your widget:Replace "<URL>" with your website URL
<!-- GOOGLE ANALYTICS CARD WIDGET STARTS --> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.0.min.js"></script> <script src="/script/local/static/load.js"></script> <iframe id="card-widget" src=" /script/local/card3.php" seamless="seamless" frameBorder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:100%"></iframe> <!-- GOOGLE ANALYTICS CARD WIDGET ENDS -->
You can change widget type by changing "card3.php" to "card1.php" or "card2.php".
You should get something like this:
Now, when I open my website I can see my banner here:
I've used the following images, icons or other files as listed.
Once again, thank you so much for purchasing this script. As I said at the beginning, I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this script. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist. If you have a more general question relating to the scripts on CodeCanyon, you might consider visiting the forums and asking your question in the "Item Discussion" section.

Syntax:
copy-seq sequence => copied-sequence
Arguments and Values:
sequence---a proper sequence.
copied-sequence---a proper sequence.
Description:
Creates a copy of sequence. The elements of the new sequence are the same as the corresponding elements of the given sequence.
If sequence is a vector, the result is a fresh simple array of rank one that has the same actual array element type as sequence. If sequence is a list, the result is a fresh list.
Examples:
(setq str "a string") => "a string" (equalp str (copy-seq str)) => true (eql str (copy-seq str)) => false
Side Effects: None.
Affected By: None.
Exceptional Situations:
Should be prepared to signal an error of type type-error if sequence is not a proper sequence.

Later that year, in August, he joined the Internet and Data Science Lab (IDLab) research group in the Department of Information Technology (INTEC). There he is currently active as a Ph.D. student, conducting research in the domain of white-box machine learning for critical domains and (semantic) knowledge models. Other research interests are bio-inspired algorithms and sport-related data science in general.
If you cannot find Gilles sitting behind his desk, he is most likely doing a code golf in Python, competing in a data science competition or out playing football with friends or colleagues.

Couchbase Node.js Release Notes and Download Archives
Preparing for Installation
Install Couchbase Server first, if you haven’t done so already. Refer to the 6.0@server:install:install-intro.adoc for server installation instructions.
The SDK installation process will build libcouchbase
(LCB) and other dependencies for you, so you will need the build tools for your platform, such as Visual Studio or GCC (more details in the LCB installation pages).
The Couchbase Node.js Client will run on any supported LTS version of Node.js — currently, 6.x, 8.x, and 10.x. On the Windows platform, it may be necessary to update the version of Node.js that Visual Studio points to.
The latest versions of Node.js can be downloaded from the Node.js website, and Nodesource provides instructions for each Linux distribution that Couchbase supports.
Installing the SDK
To install the SDK, simply use npm
:
npm install couchbase
To install an older version, specify the version directly with npm. For example, to install version 2.4.5:

My research consists in developments in electronic structure of molecular and solid systems.
There are two fundamental aspects to my work.
On the one hand, my approach is analytic and theoretical and consists in developping new methods and approximations.
On the other hand, an integral part of my work is technical and is about implementing these developments in widely used quantum chemistry packages.
A part of my part focuses in the description of London dispersion forces in Density Functional Theory (DFT) in the context of range-separated theories coupled with the Random Phase Approximation (RPA). I have more recently been working in Quantum Monte-Carlo (QMC) and implementing in the CHAMP software. I currently am working on implementations of efficient multi-reference perturbation theory (MRPT) for applications to systems of interest in biological processes and energy conversion and storage. |

The most common reasons why Synergy will not launch at login include one or more of following:
a. You might not be using the latest version
b. Your "login items" might be out-of-date, and pointing at an older version of Synergy
c. You might have installed a new version of Synergy, but you left the old version on the system as well.
d. Independently, your login items might not be corrupt, out-of-date or stale.
So, the way to get Synergy to launch at login is therefore:
1. Ensure you have installed the latest version of Synergy. Make sure you have not left any old copies of the software in another location on your system (for example, in /Library/PreferencePanes/ or ~/Library/PreferencePanes/).
2. In the Synergy preferences, un-check the "Launch at login" preference and click "Apply", then re-check it and click "Apply". This forces any old or stale entries in your login items to be updated.

MAUD MULLER on a summer’s day
Raked the meadow sweet with hay.
Beneath her torn hat glowed the wealth
Of simple beauty and rustic health.
Singing, she wrought, and her merry glee
The mock-bird echoed from his tree.
But when she glanced to the far-off town,
White from its hill-slope looking down,
The sweet song died, and a vague unrest
And a nameless longing filled her breast,—
A wish that she hardly dared to own,
For something better than she had known.
The Judge rode slowly down the lane,
Smoothing his horse’s chestnut mane.
He drew his bridle in the shade
Of the apple-trees, to greet the maid,
And asked a draught from the spring that flowed
Through the meadow across the road.
She stooped where the cool spring bubbled up,
And filled for him her small tin cup,
And blushed as she gave it, looking down
On her feet so bare, and her tattered gown.
‘Thanks!’ said the Judge; ‘a sweeter draught
From a fairer hand was never quaffed.’
He spoke of the grass and flowers and trees,
Of the singing birds and the humming bees;
Then talked of the haying, and wondered whether
The cloud in the west would bring foul weather.
And Maud forgot her brier-torn gown,
And her graceful ankles bare and brown;
And listened, while a pleased surprise
Looked from her long-lashed hazel eyes.
At last, like one who for delay
Seeks a vain excuse, he rode away.
Maud Muller looked and sighed: ‘Ah me!
That I the Judge’s bride might be!
‘He would dress me up in silks so fine,
And praise and toast me at his wine.
‘My father should wear a broadcloth coat;
My brother should sail a painted boat.
‘I’d dress my mother so grand and gay,
And the baby should have a new toy each day.
‘And I’d feed the hungry and clothe the poor,
And all should bless me who left our door.’
The Judge looked back as he climbed the hill
And saw Maud Muller standing still.
‘A form more fair, a face more sweet,
Ne’er hath it been my lot to meet.
‘And her modest answer and graceful air
Show her wise and good as she is fair.
‘Would she were mine, and I to-day,
Like her, a harvester of hay;
‘No doubtful balance of rights and wrongs,
Nor weary lawyers with endless tongues,
‘But low of cattle and song of birds,
And health and quiet and loving words.’

So, closing his heart, the Judge rode on,
And Maud was left in the field alone.
But the lawyers smiled that afternoon,
When he hummed in court an old love-tune;
And the young girl mused beside the well
Till the rain on the unraked clover fell.
He wedded a wife of richest dower,
Who lived for fashion, as he for power.

Oft, when the wine in his glass was red,
He longed for the wayside well instead;
And closed his eyes on his garnished rooms
To dream of meadows and clover-blooms.
And the proud man sighed, with a secret pain,
‘Ah, that I were free again!
‘Free as when I rode that day,
Where the barefoot maiden raked her hay.’
She wedded a man unlearned and poor,
And many children played round her door.
But care and sorrow, and childbirth pain,
Left their traces on heart and brain.
And oft, when the summer sun shone hot
On the new-mown hay in the meadow lot,
And she heard the little spring brook fall
Over the roadside, through the wall,
In the shade of the apple-tree again
She saw a rider draw his rein;
And, gazing down with timid grace,
She felt his pleased eyes read her face.
Sometimes her narrow kitchen walls
Stretched away into stately halls;
The weary wheel to a spinnet turned,
The tallow candle an astral burned,
And for him who sat by the chimney lug,
Dozing and grumbling o’er pipe and mug,
A manly form at her side she saw,
And joy was duty and love was law.
Then she took up her burden of life again,
Saying only, ‘It might have been.’
Alas for maiden, alas for Judge,
For rich repiner and household drudge!

For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: ‘It might have been!’
Ah, well! for us all some sweet hope lies
Deeply buried from human eyes;
And, in the hereafter, angels may
Roll the stone from its grave away!
BLESSINGS on thee, little man,
Barefoot boy, with cheek of tan!
With thy turned-up pantaloons,
And thy merry whistled tunes;
With thy red lip, redder still
Kissed by strawberries on the hill;
With the sunshine on thy face,
Through thy torn brim’s jaunty grace;
From my heart I give thee joy,—
I was once a barefoot boy!
Prince thou art,—the grown-up man
Only is republican.
Let the million-dollared ride!
Barefoot, trudging at his side,
Thou hast more than he can buy
In the reach of ear and eye,—
Outward sunshine, inward joy:
Blessings on thee, barefoot boy!
Oh for boyhood’s painless play,
Sleep that wakes in laughing day,
Health that mocks the doctor’s rules,
Knowledge never learned of schools,
Of the wild bee’s morning chase,
Of the wild-flower’s time and place,
Flight of fowl and habitude
Of the tenants of the wood;
How the tortoise bears his shell,
How the woodchuck digs his cell,
And the ground-mole sinks his well;
How the robin feeds her young,
How the oriole’s nest is hung;
Where the whitest lilies blow,
Where the freshest berries grow,
Where the ground-nut trails its vine,
Where the wood-grape’s clusters shine;
Of the black wasp’s cunning way,
Mason of his walls of clay,
And the architectural plans
Of gray hornet artisans!
For, eschewing books and tasks,
Nature answers all he asks;
Hand in hand with her he walks,
Face to face with her he talks,
Part and parcel of her joy,—
Blessings on the barefoot boy!
Oh for boyhood’s time of June,
Crowding years in one brief moon,
When all things I heard or saw,
Me, their master, waited for.
I was rich in flowers and trees,
Humming-birds and honey-bees;
For my sport the squirrel played,
Plied the snouted mole his spade;
For my taste the blackberry cone
Purpled over hedge and stone;
Laughed the brook for my delight
Through the day and through the night,
Whispering at the garden wall,
Talked with me from fall to fall;
Mine the sand-rimmed pickerel pond,
Mine the walnut slopes beyond,
Mine, on bending orchard trees,
Apples of Hesperides!
Still as my horizon grew,
Larger grew my riches too;
All the world I saw or knew
Seemed a complex Chinese toy,
Fashioned for a barefoot boy!
Oh for festal dainties spread,
Like my bowl of milk and bread;
Pewter spoon and bowl of wood,
On the door-stone, gray and rude!
O’er me, like a regal tent,
Cloudy-ribbed, the sunset bent,
Purple-curtained, fringed with gold,
Looped in many a wind-swung fold;
While for music came the play
Of the pied frogs’ orchestra;
And, to light the noisy choir,
Lit the fly his lamp of fire.
I was monarch: pomp and joy
Waited on the barefoot boy!
Cheerily, then, my little man,
Live and laugh, as boyhood can!
Though the flinty slopes be hard,
Stubble-speared the new-mown sward,
Every morn shall lead thee through
Fresh baptisms of the dew;
Every evening from thy feet
Shall the cool wind kiss the heat:
All too soon these feet must hide
In the prison cells of pride,
Lose the freedom of the sod,
Like a colt’s for work be shod,
Made to treat the mills of toil,
Up and down in ceaseless moil:
Happy if their track be found
Never on forbidden ground;
Happy if they sink not in
Quick and treacherous sands of sin.
Ah! that thou couldst know thy joy,
Ere it passes, barefoot boy!
OF all the rides since the birth of time,
Told in story or sung in rhyme,—
On Apuleius’s Golden Ass,
Or one-eyed Calender’s horse of brass,
Witch astride of a human back,
Islam’s prophet on Al-Borák,—
The strangest ride that ever was sped
Was Ireson’s, out from Marblehead!
Old Floyd Ireson, for his hard heart,
Tarred and feathered and carried in a cart
By the women of Marblehead!
Body of turkey, head of owl,
Wings a-droop like a rained-on fowl,
Feathered and ruffled in every part,
Skipper Ireson stood in the cart.
Scores of women, old and young,
Strong of muscle, and glib of tongue,
Pushed and pulled up the rocky lane,
Shouting and singing the shrill refrain:
’Here’s Flud Oirson, fur his horrd horrt,
Torr’d an’ futherr’d an’ corr’d in a corrt
By the women o’ Morble’ead!’
Wrinkled scolds with hands on hips,
Girls in bloom of cheek and lips,
Wild-eyed, free-limbed, such as chase
Bacchus round some antique vase,
Brief of skirt, with ankles bare,
Loose of kerchief and loose of hair,
With conch-shells blowing and fish-horns’ twang,
Over and over the Maenads sang:
’Here’s Flud Orison, fur his horrd horrt,
Torr’d an’ futherr’d an’ corr’d in a corrt
By the women o’ Morble’ead!’
Small pity for him!—He sailed away
From a leaking ship in Chaleur Bay,—
Sailed away from a sinking wreck,
With his own town’s-people on her deck!
’Lay by! lay by!’ they called to him.
Back he answered, ’Sink or swim!
Brag of your catch of fish again!’
And off hée sailed through the fog and rain!
Old Floyd Ireson, for his hard heart,
Tarred and feathered and carried in a cart
By the women of Marblehead!
Fathoms deep in dark Chaleur
That wreck shall lie forevermore.
Mother and sister, wife and maid,
Looked from the rocks of Marblehead
Over the moaning and rainy sea,—
Looked for the coming that might not be!
What did the winds and the sea-birds say
Of the cruel captain who sailed away?
Old Floyd Ireson, for his hard heart,
Tarred and feathered and carried in a cart
By the women of Marblehead!
Through the street, on either side,
Up flew windows, doors swung wide;
Sharp-tongued spinsters, old wives gray,
Treble lent the fish-horn’s bray.
Sea-worn grandsires, cripple-bound,
Hulks of old sailors run aground,
Shook head, and fist, and hat, and cane,
And cracked with curses the hoarse refrain:
’Here’s Flud Oirson, fur his horrd horrt,
Torr’d an’ futherr’d an’ corr’d in a corrt
By the women o’ Morble’ead!’
Sweetly along the Salem road
Bloom of orchard and lilac showed.
Little the wicked skipper knew
Of the fields so green and the sky so blue.
Riding there in his sorry trim,
Like an Indian idol glum and grim,
Scarcely he seemed the sound to hear
Of voices shouting, far and near:
’Here’s Flud Oirson, fur his horrd horrt,
Torr’d an’ futherr’d an’ corr’d in a corrt
By the women o’ Morble’ead!’
’Hear me, neighbors!’ at last he cried,—
’What to me is this noisy ride?
What is the shame that clothes the skin
To the nameless horror that lives within?
Waking or sleeping, I see a wreck,
And hear a cry from a reeling deck!

Said old Floyd Ireson, for his hard heart,
Tarred and feathered and carried in a cart
By the women of Marblehead!
Then the wife of the skipper lost at sea
Said, ’God has touched him! Why should we!’
Said an old wife mourning her only son,
’Cut the rogue’s tether and let him run!’

Poor Floyd Ireson, for his hard heart,
Tarred and feathered and carried in a cart
By the women of Marblehead!
PIPES of the misty moorlands,
Voice of the glens and hills;
The droning of the torrents,
The treble of the rills!
Not the braes of bloom and heather,
Nor the mountains dark with rain,
Nor maiden bower, nor border tower,
Have heard your sweetest strain!
Dear to the Lowland reaper,
And plaided mountaineer,—
To the cottage and the castle
The Scottish pipes and dear;—
Sweet sounds the ancient pibroch
O’er mountain, loch, and glade;
But the sweetest of all music
The pipes at Lucknow played.
Day by day the Indian tiger
Louder yelled, and nearer crept;
Round and round the jungle-serpent
Near and nearer circles swept.
‘Pray for rescue, wives and mothers,—
Pray to-day!’ the soldier said;
‘To-morrow, death’s between us
And the wrong and shame we dread.’
Oh, they listened, looked, and waited,
Till their hope became despair;
And the sobs of low bewailing
Filled the pauses of their prayer.
Then up spake a Scottish maiden,
With her ear unto the ground:
‘Dinna ye hear it?—dinna ye hear it?
The pipes o’ Havelock sound!’
Hushed the wounded man his groaning;
Hushed the wife her little ones;
Alone they heard the drum-roll
And the roar of Sepoy guns.
But to sounds of home and childhood
The Highland ear was true;—
As her mother’s cradle-crooning
The mountain pipes she knew.
Like the march of soundless music
Through the vision of the seer,
More of feeling than of hearing,
Of the heart than of the ear,
She knew the droning pibroch,
She knew the Campbell’s call:
‘Hark! hear ye no MacGregor’s,
The grandest o’ them all!’

Then a burst of wild thanksgiving
Mingled woman’s voice and man’s;
‘God be praised!—the march of Havelock!
The piping of the clans!’
Louder, nearer, fierce as vengeance,
Sharp and shrill as swords at strife,
Came the wild MacGregor’s clan-call,
Stinging all the air to life.
But when the far-off dust-cloud
To plaided legions grew,
Full tenderly and blithesomely
The pipes of rescue blew!
Round the silver domes of Lucknow,
Moslem mosque and Pagan shrine,
Breathed the air to Britons dearest,
The air of Auld Lang Syne.
O’er the cruel roll of war-drums
Rose that sweet and homelike strain;
And the tartan clove the turban,
As the Goomtee cleaves the plain.
Dear to the corn-land reaper
And plaided mountaineer,—
To the cottage and the castle
The piper’s song is dear.
Sweet sounds the Gaelic pibroch
O’er mountain, glen, and glade;
But the sweetest of all music
The pipes at Lucknow played!
The clustered spires of Frederick stand
Green-walled by the hills of Maryland.
Round about them orchards sweep,
Apple and peach tree fruited deep,
Fair as the garden of the Lord
To the eyes of the famished rebel horde,
On that pleasant morn of the early fall
When Lee marched over the mountain-wall;
Over the mountains winding down,
Horse and foot, into Frederick town.
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in the morning wind: the sun
Of noon looked down, and saw not one.
Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;
Bravest of all in Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;
In her attic window the staff she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet.
Up the street came the rebel tread,
Stonewall Jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat left and right
He glanced; the old flag met his sight
‘Halt!’—the dust-brown ranks stood fast.
‘Fire!’—out blazed the rifle-blast.
It shivered the window, pane and sash;
It rent the banner with seam and gash.
Quick, as it fell, from the broken staff
Dame Barbara snatched the silken scarf.
She leaned far out on the window-sill,
And shook it forth with a royal will.
‘Shoot, if you must, this old gray head,
But spare your country’s flag,’ she said.
 March on!’ he said.
All day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread of marching feet:
All day long that free flag tost
Over the heads of the rebel host.
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
On the loyal winds that loved it well;
And through the hill-gaps sunset light
Shone over it with a warm good-night.
Barbara Frietchie’s work is o’er,
And the Rebel rides on his raids no more.
Honor to her! and let a tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewall’s bier.
Over Barbara Frietchie’s grave,
Flag of Freedom and Union, wave!
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law;
And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below in Frederick town!
