Pink Floyd - "The Dark Side of The Moon" PULSE

Take a break with a welcome musical interlude . . . Don't be afraid to care
Some background : The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album by Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 The Dark Side of the Moon received critical acclaim upon release, and has since been hailed by critics as one of the greatest albums of all time Following Meddle in 1971, Pink Floyd assembled for a tour of Britain, Japan and the United States in December of that year. In a band meeting at drummer Nick Mason's home in Camden, bassist Roger Waters proposed that a new album could form part of the tour. Waters' idea was for an album that dealt with things that "make people mad", focusing on the pressures faced by the band during their arduous lifestyle, and dealing with the apparent mental problems suffered by former band member Syd Barrett All four members agreed that Waters' album concept unified by a single theme was a good idea. Waters, Gilmour, Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright participated in the writing and production of the new material, and Waters created the early demo tracks at his Islington home in a small studio built in his garden shed. Parts of the new album were taken from previously unused material; the opening line of "Breathe" came from an earlier work by Waters and Ron Geesin, written for the soundtrack of The Body, and the basic structure of "Us and Them" borrowed from an original composition by Wright for Zabriskie Point. The band rehearsed at a warehouse in London owned by the Rolling Stones, and then at the Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park, London. They also purchased extra equipment, which included new speakers, a PA system, a 28-track mixing desk with a four channel quadraphonic output, and a custom-built lighting rig. Nine tonnes of kit was transported in three lorries; this would be the first time the band had taken an entire album on tour. The album had been given the provisional title of Dark Side of the Moon (an allusion to lunacy, rather than astronomy). However, after discovering that that title had already been used by another band, Medicine Head, it was temporarily changed to Eclipse. The new material premiered at The Dome in Brighton, on 20 January 1972, and after the commercial failure of Medicine Head's album the title was changed back to the band's original preference The Dark Side of The Moon

And it’ll make self-driving cars smarter and safer. But there are also suspicions that 5G will expose us to more security breaches, privacy issues and even health problems. So what exactly is 5G? And how much of the excitement or fear is just hype?

"A fun tribute to the indomitable and remarkable Emma Peel. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of Mrs Peel. She certainly is fast, thorough and sharp as a tack! I haven't had much luck with my other Avengers vids on YT - they keep getting blocked. I will be uploading them on Vimeo if you want to check them out there: https://vimeo.com/hepburned

How "The Bachelor" Became A Launchpad For Influencers

They're not here to make friends.
They’re here to make lots of money.

That's the headline and sub-heading from a report written by Arielle Duhaime-Ross and Byrd Pinkerton that appeared on https://www.vox.com today.

"If you’re one of the millions of Americans who watch ABC’s The Bachelor, then you know the peculiar obsession that the show has with “being there for the right reasons.”

It’s been a clear mandate for the 18 years of the show’s existence:
> Contestants must be willing to enter into a polygamous relationship where they share one man (or woman) with 20-30 other women (or men).
> They must be willing to wrestle in mud, bungee jump naked, and reveal their tragic pasts.
> And as they do these things, they must be clear that they are doing them purely for the love of a person they have just met (who, in all likelihood, will dump them on national television).

For almost two decades, contestants have been accusing each other of having ulterior motives for appearing on the show.
In the past, the accusation was usually something like, “(S)he just wants to be on TV.”

But now, there’s a new “wrong reason” for appearing on the show: becoming an online influencer . .

In recent seasons of The Bachelor, however, the show has started to let contestants discuss that reality on screen. Which got the team of Reset, Vox’s tech podcast, thinking: How has the online Bachelor ecosystem reshaped the show itself?

Host Arielle Duhaime-Ross brought on Emma Gray, the host of the popular Here to Make Friends Bachelor analysis podcast, to break down the history of The Bachelor’s relationship with social media, and all the ways that the show has been changed by technology.

Below, we’ve shared a lightly edited transcript of Gray’s conversation with Duhaime-Ross.

I’ve been interested in the crossover between what happens on social media and what happens on the show.

CAUTION: Your "Smart Phone" . . .What Can The Government Get?

The quick answer is anything they want: who we talk to, when, and about what; where we were yesterday, last month, or three years ago; what we spent money on or got money for; our calendars, photos, emails, and contacts. These devices hold tens or even hundreds of gigabytes of data on almost everything about us. . . there are legal questions, some of which go unanswered.

The police want your phone data.

Here’s what they can get — and what they can’t.

Phones hold gigabytes of potential evidence, but the government’s ability to access them depends on a patchwork of court decisions and laws that predate the technology.

By Sara Morrison Feb 24, 2020, 7:00am EST

". . . When the key to unlock your phone is in your own mind or on the tip of your finger, it becomes a legal question that judges have to rely on decades-old, pre-modern-technology precedent to answer. And in many places, this question hasn’t yet been answered. . ."

LINK > https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/2/24 

There are short answers and long informed answers to these questions:

> Law enforcement wants access to third-party data on your phone.

What can it get?

> Law enforcement wants access to personal data on your phone.

Can they do that?

> Sadly, I have died. Law enforcement wants to unlock my phone but they can’t get my password due to my aforementioned death.

What happens now?

"You may have noticed by now that, while many of the cases concerning phones and passcodes are recent — some are even still making their way through the legal system — the cases cited to make legal arguments are decades or even centuries old. The wheels of justice turn slowly, and judges are often forced to use decisions about access to pieces of paper to inform their rulings about access to devices that hold tremendous amounts of personal information:

• who we talk to,
• when, and about what;
• where we were yesterday, last month, or three years ago;
• what we spent money on or got money for;
• our calendars, photos, emails, and contacts.

These devices hold tens or even hundreds of gigabytes of data on almost everything about us.
