Notthe kind that they used to give us kids in school. (I got one in the second grade and then my folks gave me another when I got home. I tried to take the punishment like a good soldier but guess which one hurt my rear echelon more.)
No, I am talking about canoeing or kayaking down a river or creek, listening to the rippling current, smiling as the otters frolic in the water, nodding toward the turtles sunning themselves on logs, and dodging the big gators. I once paddled past a gator that was longer than my canoe. The sight definitely made me paddle faster.
As you paddle along the creek, it passes through the Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve, which covers 2,479 acres in Port Orange. The preserve has a 536-foot boardwalk, more than three miles of nature trails, and a 15-foot observation tower overlooking a marsh.
With the DOT, bad projects hardly ever disappear completely. Just ask the folks in rural North Florida who once again must battle misguided plans for a Northern Turnpike Extension that would forever change the character of the place they call home.
Honestly, digging into this Spruce Creek situation has given me a strong desire to head for Tallahassee and take some friends with me and do some paddling. And no, this time I do NOT mean the kind you do in a canoe. I mean the other kind.

I Am Interchange immerses you in the world of adventure journalism, where we fearlessly explore the monumental global changes, inequalities, and urgent issues surrounding the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Through raw, unfiltered storytelling, we dive into the tension within these goals and share the stories from the front lines of systems change.
An interchange is a place on a highway where you leave the road you are on, to take a different direction. It's where traffic all comes together and decides which way they want to go. It turns and twists and goes over and under. I think that is what we do at Interchange, except instead of traffic it's ideas and passions and beliefs and expectations and stereotypes and fears. It's our life's "highway." It's where people that may never "pass" each other in everyday life, come together and share our journeys. It is a safe place to explore where we are going, how we will get there and the different routes that we can choose to take.

If the Windows firewall is enabled, the default firewall policy blocks all incoming connections. You must create a firewall rule to accept incoming connections on the port of metadata interchange server. The security team might have to open the port to accept incoming TCP connections.
The metadata interchange server runs as part of Apache Tomcat installed by the InfoSphere Metadata Integration Bridges client software. The metadata interchange server might fail to start if the operating system cannot allocate the specified maximum heap memory (the default is 1 GB) to the Tomcat server java process. To confirm that this is the problem, perform the following steps.

We had a few calls a while back from callers to our radio show who had questions about the "diverging diamond" interchange planned as part of the new Billings Bypass project on Johnson Lane near Billings.
Will drivers understand the traffic pattern placing them on the left side of the road? Will the bypass be able to handle the weight of vehicles on the bridge over the long term? Those were just a couple of questions from some of our callers, so I thought, why not get the engineers for the project on the show? Especially since this if the first diverging diamond interchange in the state of Montana.
Lisa Olmsted and Doug Enderson from DOWL engineering firm joined us on the air to talk about the project and field listener phone calls. The full audio can be found below. Plus, Lisa mentioned a video now available that shows drivers how the interchange is designed to work. We've got that posted for you below.

Modal interchange (also borrowed chords, modal mixture, or mixed modes) is a compositional device in which composers add unexpected harmonic colors by borrowing chords from a parallel mode. The most common application of modal interchange is the appearance of chords from the parallel minor in the context of a major key. For example, through modal interchange, a composer can use chords from C minor in the context of C major. Since C Ionian (major) and C Aeolian (natural minor) are based on the same tonic, their sonorities can be interchanged quite naturally. More advanced examples of modal interchange draw on other parallel modes.
If you are new to arranging with modal interchange, the simplest way to get started is to recognize which melody notes have the greatest compatibility with borrowed chords. For example, all the parallel modes of C quite naturally contain the note C in the scale. Therefore, you have the greatest number of borrowed chords to choose from when C is your melody note. By contrast, it is much more difficult to add a borrowed chord when B is the melody note, since the note B is only found in C Lydian and C Ionian.
Congratulations, you've completed today's lesson on Modal Interchange: The Complete Guide to Borrowed Chords. As a result, you are now better equipped to understand more of the harmonic choices that composers have made in the music you hear everyday. Better yet, you can even begin to personalize your favorite tunes by making these decisions yourself!
