12:41a	Bach-Schubert, take 5 I revisited the Bach-Schubert piece yet again. This is a collage of the two pieces: Bach's chorale prelude "Ich ruf' zu dir" (organ performance by S. Didenko), see also its piano arrangement by F. Busoni, and Schubert's Impromptu Op. 90 no.3. There are some minor changes to the score. This time I've used the MIDI recording feature of my Yamaha Clavinova, and edited the MIDI file slightly to get rid of wrong notes. Then I played it back through Yamaha and recorded the audio. The results are better but, of course, still far from ideal. Audio MIDI (Read Comments | Comment on this)
1:26a	Giant comet hits earth, impacts women's lives "Giant comet hits earth, impacts women's lives" This make-believe news headline is not an exaggeration - it illustrates a blatant disregard for men's lives that we often see. Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. -- Hillary Clinton, 1998 ...a resolution adopted by the United Nation Security Council in 2000 arrived at a similar conclusion, stating that "civilians, particularly women and children, account for the vast majority of those adversely affected by armed conflict." http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-victims-of-war/ (Read Comments | Comment on this)
6:44p	Споры на политическiя темы Независимо отъ того, Трампъ или Клинтонъ побѣдитъ на грядущихъ выборахъ, градусъ политическаго противостоянiя въ США послѣ избранiя президента накалится до предѣла. Если побѣдитъ Трапмъ, то пресса и СМИ станутъ регулярно истошно вопить, перевирая любыя его неосторожныя заявленiя (коихъ будетъ множество) и обвиняя Трампа и GOP во всѣхъ грѣхахъ. Возникнутъ, возможно, два-три новыхъ СМИ съ болѣе объективной позицiей, но лѣвое большинство въ СМИ никуда не дѣнется. Если побѣдитъ Клинтонъ (я думаю, она побѣдитъ), то прессингъ въ адресъ GOP и консерваторовъ со стороны СМИ также усилится (равно какъ усилятся преслѣдованiя независимыхъ журналистовъ и вообще людей, высказывающихъ свое мнѣнiе противъ лѣвыхъ СМИ). Но, одновременно съ этимъ, будутъ большiя массы людей, разочарованныхъ въ СМИ и въ результатахъ выборовъ, и они будутъ продолжать критику въ адресъ лѣвыхъ, усиливая противостоянiе. Поэтому въ недалекомъ будущемъ станетъ очень важнымъ умѣнiе аргументированно и аккуратно (т.е. безопасно для себя) вести политическiе споры. (Read Comments | Comment on this)
