Summer Solstice

Thursday, June 21, 2018 at 6:07 am EDT by Mel

This blog post entertains a unique view of events that occurred during the original transmissions of data created through the early Spring of 2018 unto this summer solstice. Basic images and code are supported for your pleasure.

The most recent expenditure of energy was a previous NOBI performance. Mario and Ivan were perplexed by the events that occurred and proceeded to analyze the event:

I tries to sets up on time but virus keeps asks me fo plug to amp. I keeps sayings, it be is no problem, when I be done settings up. but be pains in me ass and asks again. I finally gets sets up, no mike checks, times up, somebody asks me if they have reverb on mike, head explode, not time, no even sets up limiters. Besides me playlist show the insect start squirting on second sets.. no .. I throws insect orange Home Depot plug on firsts sets ... Watdafa... ¿?
I is posed to gives powers cords too !? I no give a fuque anymo .. I quits!
~ Mario, FOH Engineer

We called Ivan, the conductor, in for an interrogation, to get his interpretation on the course of events.
Every effort is employed to try an obtain a fair, balanced, and truthful testimony to the events that transpired.

I don't know what exactly occurred. I was sure that our original stage plot was to be adhered to, or we endeavored to follow it as closely as possible. I raised my baton at 08:32 PM, two minutes late, which disturbed me greatly. The first note was dropped and then all hell broke loose. There was a strange ruckus emanating from stage left, stage right as if you face the stage, which kept increasing in decibel level. The din was interpreted as truly offensive, atonal, and contrary to our aural design. I noticed, utilizing my peripheral perceptions, that newly arriving audience members were immediately leaving due to the fact that the cacophonous din was cancerous in effect, generally out of place, and inherently disruptive. I made every effort to subdue and quell the situation by instructing sections of the orchestra to cease playing. This was a vain effort. I was hoping to see if the beast would spring enlightened to self awareness, realize this mortal misdemeanor, and cease sinking the score into a fetid cesspool from hell. Lo, the evil barbarian anthropophagite did not cease, but continued to wail and howl ever louder until it destroyed all assemblage of sonic expenditure and exhausted itself in a phantasm of juvenile victory. Shortly thereafter, it was all I could do to arouse the orchestra to forge forward with the score. By then, drenched in sweat from the battle, we elicited some sonorous motifs that restored an assemblage of sanity, but by then the majority of a worthy audience had left, leaving our effort in shambles. I can no longer proceed on suffering fiasco's and, true to fulfilling my responsibilities as conductor, I apologize for my incompetence in reigning in the anomaly, my maladroitness at maintaining order and hence, resign, in shame, from my position immediately.
Ivan ~ Conductor

Conclusion

All's well that ends well.
We have analyzed the situation and, as per the code (below), we have itemized the recommendations.

            2+2=5
                
                $("audio").on("play", function(){
                var _this = $(this);
                $("audio").each(function(i,el){
                if(!$(el).is(_this))
                $(el).get(0).pause();
	                   });
	             });
                

• Mario abiit piscantur, in other words, Mario has retired to fishing for mermaids in Venice
• Ivan has retired from conducting, in shame, to pursue his law practice and to go sailing on his yacht
• The 'Nobus Orbus' project is on hiatus, or shelved as they say on Wall Street
• The organization will have to grapple with their interpretation of co-op, or is it coop or coup ?
• Señor Craig Monteleone is to be commended for his diligence, loyalty, and enterprising spirit
• Maybe after eating appetizers of moules marinières, pâté de foie gras, beluga caviar, Eggs Benedict, a leek tart, frogs' legs amandine and quail's eggs with puréed mushrooms all mixed in a bucket with the quail eggs on top and a double helping of pâté; followed by a main course of jugged hare, with a sauce of truffles, bacon, Grand Marnier, anchovies and cream; with six bottles of Château Latour 1945, a Methuselah (Double Jeroboam/6 litres) of champagne, and half a dozen crates of brown ale (144 bottles).. we must take the "wafer-thin mint".
