Pandora Plays a Song More Than One Million Times, Pays the Songwriters $42.25
You would think that any song being played more than one million times on Pandora would be earning a fairly substantial amount of money for the artists, right?
According to songwriter/performer David Lowery of Cracker, in the 4th quarter of 2012, Pandora played the 1993 hit song 'Low' 1,159,000 times and only paid out $42.25 in royalties. Since Lowery only owns 40% of the rights to 'Low', he was left with a grand total of $16.89, or as he put it "less than I make from a single T-shirt sale."
The argument and debate over artist royalties has gone on for decades, but in the last few years we have seen numerous forms of music services promoting the fact that they pay out royalties to the artists. If you look at the commission statements below that Lowery has posted online you can see just how much these different outlets actually pay out (click to enlarge the images). The numbers circled on the left represent the number of times the song was played while the numbers circled on the right represent the total amount paid in royalties to Lowery.
Here’s an idea. Why doesn’t Pandora get off the couch and get an actual business model instead of asking for a handout from congress and artists? For instance: Right now Pandora plays one minute of commercials an hour on their free service. Here’s an idea! Play two minutes of commercials and double your revenue! (Sirius XM plays 13 minutes and charges a subscription).
I urge all songwriters to post their royalty statements and show the world just how terrible webcasting rates are for songwriters.
Lowery does mention that this is only the songwriter royalties and although he receives separate and higher royalties for being the performer of the song and will release those numbers soon as well, but states that they are "also quite lame."

The Redford Gardens solicited proposals, in the Winter of 2014, for designs to replace a series of the gardens for the opening of the summer 2015 festival. Each of the temporary gardens were to be designed with an individual central concept that could be clearly articulated and a degree of interactivity that encourages visitors to enter with enthusiasm and leave with a wish to dialogue and discuss. The call sought both proposals of complexity and simplicity with the goal of intriguing visitors with the unusual to de-familiarize the user from what is conventional.
The festival saw a new record of over 300 submissions from over 34 countries showing a diverse range of approaches.
Fields of grain yield the most crops when planted as dense wall of vegetation. Insulation and pollination rule this typical agricultural condition, establishing a dense grain forest, often utilized as setting to heighten mystery and suspense in cinema. A periscope is an instrument that creates an optic threshold, transporting the viewer to a previously inaccessible datum to perceive activities beyond an obstruction. In Above the Grain a range of periscopes are deployed across the garden, wherein traditional crop rotation takes place, establishing an active ecological system as well as a new field for discovery and memory. The three types of crop, corn, soybean, and wheat were selected to both reflect the grains of the Canadian landscape, but also to establish multiple heights of visible obstacle when meandering in the field. Visitors wander through the grain maze with walls of flourishing vegetation above their heads, at their eye level, and at their ankles throughout the seasonal garden.
Narrow passages through the grain stalks establish a physical compression, a space of heightened vertical tension. The periscopes provide the contrasting optic portal of release allowing the pedestrian to view the crop’s growth from a multitude of heights, while also allowing the user to find themselves by locating the horizon in the world beyond. At specific moments within the field several periscopes are clustered together allowing garden goers to peek around corners getting previews of the planting palette in the path beyond as well as creating fun opportunities for spotting fellow visitors. They are laminated with imagery of grain production in addition to being wrapped with a lexicon of farming production.
The design of the garden aims at embracing the annual cycles of celebration, thus creating a buzz with the social and ecological rhythms of the landscape beyond.

Palabora sells 26% stake to BEE group
Palabora Mining Company has completed a broad-based black economic empowerment deal which involves selling 26percent of its operations to a group led by George Negota, former chairperson of the Palabora Mining Company board, employees and BaPhalaborwa communities.
In a newly formed, special purpose subsidiary of Palabora Mining Company, a community trust will be held for the benefit of the Makhushane, Selwane, Maseke, Mashishimale, and Majeje communities, which will acquire 10percent of the equity.
Matt Gili, managing director of Palabora Mining Company said: "We are delighted that this long and thorough process is closer to completion and that further benefits will flow to the communities from completion of the transaction.
"In addition to this, Palabora will continue to be a major contributor to the Phalaborwa economy."
Gili said Palabora paid R235million in corporate tax during 2008 and spent R2,6billion with suppliers of which R1,1billion was with broad-based BEE companies.
About R964million of the company's supplier-spend was in the BaPhalaborwa area with R679million going to empowerment enterprises.

A new report is calling for an expansion of specialist targeted services for older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and more work to embed cultural safety in mainstream aged care services.
Research & Clinical
Residential aged care providers are not putting enough attention on strategic workforce management initiatives despite staff being the most expensive area of the business, an industry conference heard.
An evaluation of a retirement living and aged care provider’s housing and care services for older people in need has found that every dollar invested creates more than seven times that in social value.
A La Trobe University-led project is investigating the uptake and understanding of the national resource that helps aged care providers incorporate spiritual care into their services.
A national mobile advisory service has reduced dementia-related behaviours in aged care residents by half and helped to ease distress in staff, new data shows.
A study is investigating how employment conditions impact on the health of older aged care workers.
Aged care residents living in smaller home-like clusters have a better quality of life and experience fewer hospital admissions, according to new research.
New research challenges the assumption that culturally-specific care is better able to meet the care needs of aged care residents from non-English-speaking countries.
Aged and disability support and aged care nursing jobs are among the top roles contributing to the growth in community services and healthcare sector ads, according to a recent report.
The implementation of a new international framework for naming and describing texture modified foods and thickened liquids will reduce the risk of choking among aged care residents, a dysphagia expert tells Australian Ageing Agenda.
More than three-quarters of people with dementia who went missing in Australia over a five-year period were last seen at their home or residential aged care facility, a Queensland University of Technology study has found.
People with family in aged care are more likely than others to discuss a family member’s end-of-life care wishes with them, according to a national survey.
The key to understanding how to prevent dementia is less than 15 years away, according to a leading authority on dementia clinical trials.
Almost a quarter of aged care workers surveyed are planning to leave the sector in the next five years, leading to a potential shortfall of 80,000 workers, according to new research from HESTA.

Port of Bellingham commissioners delayed voting on updating the port’s moorage model that would increase slip rates in Blaine and Squalicum harbors. The commission held a presentation on the proposed increases during its May 3 meeting after pushing back the vote because of public transparency concerns. Port commissioners are expected to vote on the moorage rates during the next port meeting Tuesday, May 17.
Commissioners were originally set to vote on Resolution 1403, which would have increased moorage rates during the April 19 meeting, but it was delayed because of questions raised on changing rates quickly with little public input. The port last updated the moorage rate model in 2014, which was supposed to go under review every four years but was delayed in 2018 until the port had better cost estimates of Squalicum’s inner harbor renovation project, according to a port memo. Port staff gave a presentation on the moorage model during the April 19 meeting, and then again during the May 3 meeting. There was little public input during both meetings.
Under the proposed model, moorage rates would increase 3 to 6 percent annually, based on size and demand. Blaine Harbor recreational rates are based on the size of the boat or the slip, whichever is greater.
As a way to encourage Blaine Harbor occupancy, Blaine rates would remain 4 percent lower than the Squalicum recreation rate until Blaine occupancy remained at 100 percent for a year. The rate for active commercial fishing boats would not increase and the difference between that and the model rate would support economic development, according to the port. The active commercial fishing rate would be connected to Squalicum’s recreation rate for vessels less than 26 feet long. Commercial boats are given a 10 percent discount.
Rates would go into effect July 1 this year, and then April 1 every year after.
Rates would increase 3 to 6 percent annually, depending on boat size. The next moorage model review is set for 2026.
“The end result is more or less to stay in the middle of the [Washington] marina market,” said marinas director Tiffany DeSimone during the April meeting. “We’re not the top, we’re not the bottom.”
The new moorage model would continually increase the port’s cash flow from nearly $895,000 in 2023 – the first full year the new program would be implemented – to just over $6 million in 2026.
The new moorage model would cover operating and capital improvements without future bond financing. The moorage model is a program that includes items such as the port’s revenue and expenses that allows the port to plan for large projects and operational needs, DeSimone said.
In addition to large capital projects, DeSimone said upcoming improvements include dock and facility maintenance, increased security and more port staff during peak seasons. Blaine and Squalicum’s office hours will also expand.
“We’re at capacity at both harbors, and continue daily to field requests at the very least for seasonal moorage,” DeSimone said. “We know our supply isn’t increasing, but demand is.”
The marina advisory committee, a port advisory committee, unanimously approved port staff’s proposed moorage updates.
Jim Kyle, Working Waterfront Coalition of Whatcom County president and Marine Advisory Committee moorage model subcommittee member, voiced his opposition against Resolution 1403 during public comment April 19.
“In the interest of transparency, we request you postpone today’s vote,” Kyle said. “A postponement would give you time to publicize the proposal, explain it and give the public a meaningful chance to weigh in. After a delay of four years, what is the hurry now? Please show your constituents some respect and delay voting on Resolution 1403 until at least the next commission meeting.”
Marina Advisory Committee chairperson Paul Burrill also asked for a delayed vote April 19.
Later in the April meeting, commissioners said they didn’t want their actions to seem questionable and agreed to have the moorage update presentation but hold the vote that was scheduled after.
“I think it’s quite telling that we haven’t had any comments from the public,” commissioner Michael Shepard said. “There’s been nobody from the public who’s shown up to provide any commentary on something that is financially going to impact people in both of our harbors. There are several thousand slips here and nobody really came to discuss. That doesn’t mean everyone is fine with the proposal, it may mean we haven’t had enough bandwidth for people to be prepared to give us comments.”
Kyle thanked the port for delaying the vote during the public comment section of the May 3 meeting. He said the delay allowed the Working Waterfront Coalition board to meet and discuss the proposal, which it approved unanimously – although he said the decision wasn’t easy.
“We agreed in principle the objectives are good, we want to maintain good facilities in the Port of Bellingham and we agreed they should be high quality,” he said. “We agree they should remain competitive with other Puget Sound rates.”
The next Port of Bellingham meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 17. The meetings are being conducted both in-person at 1801 Roeder Avenue in Bellingham and remotely via Zoom and YouTube. More information will be available at portofbellingham.com/agendacenter.

The Terrible Mistake Most Twenty-Somethings Make
‘Living a life that’s not the same as the life that wants to live in you.’
In 1999, Parker J. Palmer wrote an autobiographical book filled with anecdotes from his own youth, in which he described the process of finding one’s passion.
Palmer himself went through the same struggle many twenty-somethings go through today.
As an aspiring “ad man” in the sixties, he experienced a “gap” between what he actually wanted to do and what he was spending his life on doing.
After chasing “the fast car and other large toys that seemed to be the accessories [of] selfhood,” Palmer found himself completely lost, he woke up one day to a chilling realization: the life he was living was not the same as the life that wanted to live in him.
If you want to draw a modern analogy, think of all the budding twenty-year-old entrepreneurs and startup founders who want to become the next GaryVee or Mark Zuckerberg, only to realize one day that entrepreneurship wasn’t really what they wanted to do all along. And that they were in it solely for the money.
Palmer's situation was aggravated by the fact that he didn’t really know what his vocation was. There was no clear alternative for him. In fact, he didn’t find that out until much later, when he was already in his fifties.
As he reflects on his “lost years” in the book, Palmer sees a terrible mistake many twenty-year-olds make.
Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you.
Before you tell your life what truths and values you have decided to live up to, let your life tell you what truths you embody, what values you represent.
In pursuing a vocation, we shouldn’t force it upon ourselves by coming up with grand ideas or copying somebody else’s life. Instead, we should be quiet and listen to what’s already inside.
As I read about Palmer’s ideas further, I thought to myself, “God, I wish I knew this earlier.”
When I first read about this concept on my favorite blog (Brainpickings), I immediately resonated with Palmer’s story. After all, that’s also how it was for me.
Throughout my teenage years, I thought of myself as an aspiring business-person, soon-to-become-a-millionaire-by-changing-the-world.
Part of it was youthful ego and arrogance. Still, part of it was a delusion caused by reading too much business non-fiction, listening to too many podcasts, and being born at a particular time in history.
Think about it. Every young man in our generation wants to be a startup founder, similarly to how every man in Palmer’s generation wanted to be a fancy “ad man” — like they show in Mad Men.
But I consider myself lucky.
I never achieved the crazy success. I never got to a point to say, “Oh my god, I’ve wasted twenty years of my life chasing a false dream.”
The truth is, as I started my (16? 25? 30?) ventures, almost nothing worked.
I remember talking with my father (also an entrepreneur) after my yet-another-failed-app, and I said, “I am learning.”
“How do you know?” he asked.
“Because I am failing a lot,” I replied. Then I added, “I never had a successful venture before.”
He stared at me and said, “that’s exactly what I am worried about.”
Somewhere in year four, I pulled the pin. I exited my video production business, stopped “trying to make it” or hustling, and started to live (and write).
Now I am learning to listen to myself better — but I am also frequently falling in the trap Palmer is talking about: using too much force and will to define my life and my calling.
Palmer writes that “the willful pursuit of vocation is an act of violence toward ourselves — violence in the name of a vision that, however lofty, is forced on the self from without rather than grown from within.”
Read that quote again. It’s a groundbreaking idea.
Young people are so caught up in themselves, worrying about the next thing, or how it ties to the image of themselves they’ve so carefully constructed. Many keep on living this way into adulthood.
What Palmer suggests is that we must abandon any images of altogether, “however lofty,” they might seem.
“Vocation does not come from willfulness. It comes from listening,” he writes.
The big question is, what is it that we should listen to? To ourselves, of course. And we can’t hear ourselves — our “soul” if you wish — until we let go of the ideas constructed by our brain.
Vocation does not mean a goal that I pursue. It means a calling that I hear.
Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling the who I am.
I must listen for the truths and values at the heart of my own identity, not the standards by which I must live — but the standards by which I cannot help but live if I am living my own life.
We need to stop “thinking” and start “feeling” instead. And, of course, it’s easier said than done.
But I’ve got some field advice for you.
The way to start living the life that “wants to live inside you” is to reconnect with yourself.
Magic, psychology, and spirituality aside, the only way to do so is to “surrender” to yourself. Stop worrying about where you’re going and take it one step at a time.
When asked to advise a younger version of themselves, no wonder most older people say something along the lines of: “Take it as it comes. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t worry.”
You accept yourself by starting with the most difficult: accepting your shortcomings, traits that you consider to be weaknesses. You can’t accept yourself fully by accepting only the “good” parts of yourself.
Then, once you’ve done that, do two things:
- Be quiet. That’s why being (or living) alone is so key in this process — it allows you to connect with yourself on a whole new level.
- Give up. Instead of thinking about where you should end up inside, listen to what’s already there. It’s very reassuring to know that no books or podcasts or articles will give you the answers. Reading should be for pleasure, not for understanding yourself — that content is within you already.
Finally, let me leave you with a concept of “soul” or the inner voice that I particularly like.
The soul is like a wild animal — tough, resilient, savvy, self-sufficient, and yet exceedingly shy. If we want to see a wild animal, the last thing we should do is to go crashing through the woods, shouting for the creature to come out. But if we are willing to walk quietly into the woods and sit silently for an hour or two at the base of a tree, the creature we are waiting for may well emerge, and out of the corner of an eye we will catch a glimpse of the precious wildness we seek.
If you have ever seen a fully-grown stallion, you know what he is talking about.
When you look at that animal, you see force, brutality, power. But you also see anxiety, empathy. A horse is ten times more emotional than the most emotional person you know. It’s a concoction of naked nerves.
The way to deal with your inner wild animal is to be very gentle.
Walk slowly. Talk in a whisper. Pay attention. Listen.
Then there’s a chance that you don’t repeat Palmer’s mistake. And, like Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, you will turn to your significant other and say, “I am exactly the person I was supposed to be.”

Jayapura, Jubi – The Jayapura City Department of Education plans to pay professional stipends to elementary school teachers in the middle of October, its head said.
“A total of 466 eligible teachers is still waiting their professional stipends to be paid,” the department head, Robert Betaubun, told Jubi on Thursday afternoon (9/10).
The delay was due to the slowness of the online basic data entry system, causing the process to be done manually.
Previously, the head of the department’s Junior High school division, Abdul Majid, said 466 out of 1000 certified teachers for both Elementary and Secondary Schools will be receiving their allowances after a delay of three months.
“Based on data, the number of certified teachers is fewer than 1000 including 71 retired and 10 teachers who had moved to other regions,” he said. (Sindung Sukoco/Tina)

In recent months, I’ve been reviewing my well-worn copy of Paul Tripp’s classic counseling training and one-anothering book, Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands. Reading and re-reading certain chapters and underlined portions has been challenging and reaffirming, as I seek ongoing growth as a biblical pastor who counsels his flock.
One particular section that stood out to me, which I want to draw your attention to is Appendix 1, “Opening Blind Eyes.” In this appendix, Tripp states:
Because sin is deceitful and fallen people are so naturally blind to issues of self, data gathering must always pursue two goals. First the process must give the counselor the information needed to provide wise biblical counseling. But an even more fundamental purpose is that we would be the Messiah’s instruments to open eyes that have been blind for too long.
Spiritual blindness is different from physical blindness in this way: “A fundamental part of being spiritually blind is that you are blind to your blindness.” Tripp then goes on the describe ten of the typical masks that spiritual blindness wears.
- The Mask of an Accurate Sense of Self: “The counselee is unaware that he has a distorted sense of self. He has the Word of God, but he has used it more as an encyclopedia of religious thought or a devotional tool. Even when listening to the Word preached, he will miss the revelation of self that is there. He hears stories or principles expounded but does not see himself mirrored in the passages.”
- The Mask of Being Sinned Against: “There is no more powerful metaphor to describe how spiritual blindness masquerades as a sense of being sinned against than the ‘plank and speck’ metaphor of Matthew 7. Imagine a person literally obsessed with a piece of dust in another’s eye while walking around with a plank jutting out of his own! He is gripped by a sense of being sinned against, not of being a sinner. Thus, to him, the change that is needed is change outside himself.”
- The Mask of Trials and Testing: “Since most of our counselees do not have a harvest mentality, they tend to look at the things they harvest not as the result of their planting, but as the painful trials they do not deserve. Also, because sinners tend to exchange worship and service of the Creator for worship and service of the created thing (see Rom. 1:25), they tend to miss the good things that the Creator is doing in a situation.
- The Mask of Needs: “If you really want to understand what is important to a person, find out where he feels needy. Values become desires, desires become demands, and demands get expressed in counseling as ‘needs.'”
- The Mask of Wise Counsel: Most counselees have many voices they are listening to. “Proverbs says that the fool has ‘no desire to get wisdom’ (Prov. 17:16).
- The Mask of Personal Insight: “Spiritual blindness can even masquerade as wisdom! To be intellectually bright and actively analytical does not necessarily mean that you are wise. True wisdom begins with humility, the recognition that I do not have in myself all that I need. I need to be a seeker after the truth that is found only in God’s Word. Real insight does not result from being analytical but from being biblical.”
- The Mask of a Sense of Values: “Counselees often do not recognize their blindness because it is masked by a passionate sense of right and wrong. The angry man who has hurt his family for years with his violent responses sees only what he has lost by being separated from them….A wife’s focus is on the coldness and distance of her husband. She wants the counselor to turn him into a man who cherishes her, yet she is blind to the constant stream of criticism that has driven him away.”
- The Mask of Theological Knowledge: Counselees may have a lot of knowledge of Scripture and use many theological terms. However, this can lead to a false confidence that they rightly interpret life. What they need is a insightful people (biblical counselors) who “are insightful not because they have the right answers but because they have the right questions.” They need someone to ask questions that reveal the heart.
- The Mask of Personal Holiness: Like a Pharisee, counselees easily reduce God’s law to doable human standards, they emphasize behavioral standards that make no demands on the heart. “Perhaps this is the epicenter of spiritual blindness. At its core, to be spiritually blind means to think you are righteous when really you are not. This makes the grace of God and the obligation to change non-issues. If I am righteous (so I think), I do not need Christ and I do not need to change.”
- The Mask of Repentance: “Many of those we counsel tend to see the talking they do as confession and their staying in the counseling process as repentance….The counselees see themselves as repentant, but in reality there are times when counseling becomes a way to avoid working on the issues on God’s agenda.”
Tripp ends his appendix with this admonition: “It is vital to remember the profound effect that spiritual blindness has on every sinner and his view of life. Our data gathering needs to be motivated by the counselee’s need to see….We commit ourselves to be God’s means of opening blind eyes and to see this as a necessary data-gathering function.
If you’ve not read Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands then you really should. If it’s been many years since you did, then I encourage you to spend time reviewing some of it’s key lessons.

The Aces suffered a tough defeat at the hands of the FCA Herndon Braves tonight losing 7-5 at Frank Mann Field. The Aces who’s loss tonight puts them at a record of 16 wins 22 losses on the year will need to win tomorrow and Saturday if they hope to continue on to a postseason appearance. We also need to hope for a league rival, The Rockville Express to drop their final game of the season as it will guarantee the Aces a spot in the playoffs if Alexandria is able to take the final two games.
Tonights game was back and forth for most of the night. At the end of 4 innings it was clear that both starting pitchers, Jacob Grzebinski for the Aces (Georgetown) and Jacob Defazio had their hands full as Grzebinski had only one more inning left in him and Defazio had been pulled in favor of reliever Aaron Mayhew as the Aces were clinging to a 5-4 lead. The Aces were able to acquire such a big lead as Eric Lansinger (UNC Charlotte) hit a two run opposite field double that just missed being a homerun which gave them a one run advantage.
The Braves however were not close to being done as the turning point in the game for FCA Herndon was a solo homerun hit by Vinny Costello (Hofstra) to square things up to even. After tying the game, it appears the momentum shifted in favor of the FCA Herndon Braves as they held the Aces to two more scoreless innings and entered the 9th ready to pounce. The Braves were able to put two decisive runs on the board in the 9th as they were able to pull out a tough victory on the road which sealed them a spot in the playoff picture.
The Aces will play tomorrow at Frank Mann Field against the Loudon Riverdogs at 6:30 PM so make sure to come out for first pitch. If not able to attend, please listen live on Aces radio using www.mixlr.com/alexandriaaces or following us live on twitter with the screen name @AlexandriaAces.

Stranger and Better
Finally, a novel written for both pun lovers and armchair philosophers, this book may also appeal to alumni of tiny Oberlin college, on whose campus [Editor's note: upon the campus of which] the events take place. Full of spoonerisms, gobs of leftist partisan bickering for the politically unsatiated throngs, a multilayered fractal narrative [Proofer’s note: do we need to define fractal?] guaranteed to make you feel smarter just for reading it [Legal note: guarantee not applicable outside the state of Ohio, or inside the state of confusion, whichever is lesser], plus an acid trip, just to keep things weird.
Besides those enthralling topics, Stranger and Better will resonate with anyone who has ever felt lost or out of place, or pondered the meaning of life. Appropriate for those who have ever had an unrequited crush, found true love, attended college, read a book, or simply made a friend.

An artist’s impression of how a new temporary seafront cycle lane could look have been released.
Councillors are being asked tomorrow to approve the two way segregated lane from the Aquarium roundabout in Brighton to Medina Villas in Hove.
Motorised traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction to make way for the lane, and the existing cycle path on the footpath will be removed to make more space for pedestrians.
The cycle lane will be separated from traffic by an island planted with either wildflowers or trees. Some parking will also be removed.
Another temporary two-way cycle lane is proposed in Preston Road, taking a lane of traffic from Argyle Road to just north of Dyke Road Drive.
The existing narrow cycle lane there, which is littered with trees and lamposts, will be taken off the pavement.
The details are included in the council’s interim Covid-19 response local cycling andwalking infrastructure plan, which is going before Brighton and Hove City Council’s environment, transport and sustainability committee tomorrow afternoon.
The report, written by transport consultants Mott MacDonald, says: “Local authorities have been given a strong instruction from the Department for Transport (DfT) to implement ambitious schemes which provide a significant reallocation of road space to pedestrians and cyclists.
“These measures are required in order to provide space for active travel in response to Covid-19. This is an issue for all transport authorities in the country to address, for example in creating space for people to socially distance.
“However, the high levels of bus use in Brighton and Hove and government advice to avoid using public transport means the need for alternative modes of travel is particularly important as businesses reopen.”
It adds: “The Interim LCWIP reviews all temporary measures currently under consideration by the council. It also identifies other locations where the need for temporary walking and cycling measures should be considered in accordance with government guidance.
“The types of infrastructure that would be possible on each of the routes identified has then been reviewed. The design suggestions provided are high-level and would be subject to design development and road safety assessment were they to be taken further.
“Similarly, costings have not been prepared at this stage and this, together with available funding, will be a factor in determining how many measures can be taken forward.”
The report says the council is also exploring the possibility of more cycle lanes in other parts of the city, including Lewes Road, Marine Parade and other sections of the Old Shoreham Road.
Other recommendations in the report include restricting traffic into the Old Town arond the clock, closing Queens Road to southbound motorised traffic and closing Gardner Street and Sydney Street on weekdays as well as weekends.
Pedestrian crossings will now stop traffic as soon as the button is pressed.
Closing St James;s Street to motorised traffic is not recommended to be progressed because it would have limited impact.
However, more work is being done on the possibility of closing streets around schools at drop off and pick up times, known as the School Streets scheme.

Devil’s Slide is an infamous landslide along California’s Highway 1 or Pacific Coast Highway near Pacifica, just south of the San Francisco Bay area. Caltrans’ Devil’s Slide Tunnel project is an effort to bypass that slide and make the heavily traveled roadway safe for drivers and to eliminate the maintenance and traffic hassles caused by slope failures blocking the road. We first covered the project back in September of 2007 when the tunnel portion of the project commenced. In that post, you can find a Google Earth KML File showing the location of the tunnels and the new bridges associated with the project.

Another busy month for ASTM with 66 new, revised or otherwise updated standards related to geotechnical and geological engineering (although not as busy as last month).

Those involved in the materials testing side of the business should take a close look at the full list as there are also a number of updated standards relating to various asphalt and and aggregate tests, capping of concrete cyllinders and other related testing standards.
For my practice, perhaps the most significant standard that was updated was D 2488 – Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure) which we rely on for our field USCS classifications.

The last time I replenished my Suqqu Eyebrow Liquid Pen (the Stila one is a very decent alternative, but dries up in about third of the time) I decided to live dangerously and also order the Suqqu Balancing Eyebrow Palette. These trios come in two colors, 01 Moss Green and 02 Brown. I hesitated a little before picking Moss Green, because unlike the pen, where the brown version is clearly for blondes and those with much warmer toned brows/hair, the powders seem more forgiving, and the brown palette has a taupe color that could have been a good fit. In the end, I decided to trust Suqqu and assume that the palettes correspond with the pens. Maybe I could have pulled off 02 Brown, but why risk it?
Each palette has three colors: two brow powders, and something they call a "blending powder", which if I understand correctly, is to be used if you need to lighten or add some warmth to the brow powders. I admit that I don't use it for this purpose, but it makes as an occasional eye shadow base if I can't be bothered with anything else. There are also two semi-usable brow tools: a stiff angled brush and a fluffy brush (for said blending). They're too small for precision work in my abnormally large hands, but they work for travel, I guess.
All three powders are of fantastic quality. The warm beige blending powder is fine enough to perform as an eye shadow (I've recently discovered it works well in the crease). The brow powders are a cool-toned dark brown and that excellent hybrid of gray-green and and brown. I mix both and call it a day. The super-fine powder clings nicely to the hair and adds some texture as well as fills in the gaps. When I use this (or any other high-quality brow powder) I find that I can usually skip brow gel, unless I'm going for the full effect and need my brows to survive a long day. The powder and the pen do work together well, though. Since the tail of both my brows is oddly short, I can use the pen to judiciously add a hint of length (carefully, since my brow bone really ends nearby and I'm trying to avoid the downward pointing look), and the powder to make everything blend together naturally. The result is as good as it gets, and is extremely durable.
Bottom Line: now if we could only get Suqqu directly here in the US.
Suqqu Balancing Eyebrow Palette 01 Moss Green is available in Selfridge's (£38.00, made in Japan), if you're lucky enough to live in the UK (their international shipping charges are insane, unless you order your weight in stuff). You can also order through ichibankao.com, which charges an eye-watering markup (¥8350 JPY, which is around $88). Seriously, can someone strike a deal with the brand and bring it here?

Background: Stereotactic targets for thalamotomy are usually derived from population-based coordinates. Individual anatomy is used only to scale the coordinates based on the location of some internal guide points. While on conventional MR imaging the thalamic nuclei are indistinguishable, recently it has become possible to identify individual thalamic nuclei using different connectivity profiles, as defined by MR diffusion tractography. Methodology and Principal Findings: Here we investigated the inter-individual variation of the location of target nuclei for thalamotomy: the putative ventralis oralis posterior (Vop) and the ventral intermedius (Vim) nucleus as defined by probabilistic tractography. We showed that the mean inter-individual distance of the peak Vop location is 7.33 mm and 7.42 mm for Vim. The mean overlap between individual Vop nuclei was 40.2% and it was 31.8% for Vim nuclei. As a proof of concept, we also present a patient who underwent Vop thalamotomy for untreatable tremor caused by traumatic brain injury and another patient who underwent Vim thalamotomy for essential tremor. The probabilistic tractography indicated that the successful tremor control was achieved with lesions in the Vop and Vim respectively. Conclusions: Our data call attention to the need for a better appreciation of the individual anatomy when planning stereotactic functional neurosurgery.

A year ago, the mosquito-borne Zika virus was only beginning to reveal itself as a threat to pregnant women and their unborn babies.
Over the past year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took the extraordinary step of urging pregnant women to avoid travel to dozens of mainly Latin American countries to stave off infection with the Zika virus. With inclement weather prompting Americans to muse about winter vacations in sunny climes, the CDC wants to make it clear: That recommendation still stands.
Since then, U.S. officials have issued 60 travel alerts along with guidance for athletes and tourists traveling to the Olympics in Rio. They have also deployed more than 1,000 experts to Puerto Rico and elsewhere, tested more than 147,000 lab specimens, initiated 25 major studies and issued more than 230 scientific publications.
"We do want to emphasize that this will be the new normal until there's a [Zika] vaccine. That if you're pregnant, you should not go to a place where Zika is spreading," Frieden told STAT in a year-end interview on the agency's Zika response. "I think there's a misconception that Zika is either over or was never a serious problem. It's a devastating problem for families and individuals."
The Zika outbreak has been an extraordinarily taxing one for the CDC, Frieden noted, leading to a number of firsts for the agency.
Severe birth defects in isolated places have exploded into a full-blown crisis once the Zika outbreak was documented. While the virus was first identified back in 1947, it only reached the health spotlight in 2016, after starting to affect children in 2015.
What makes this virus difficult to fight is the lack of symptoms. At best, there are some scarce indicators, such as fever or headaches, which can be easily attributed to other causes, leaving the people affected by it with very few choices concerning the identification of its installation in the body.

Marketing specialist said wheat prices probably will continue to decline
Prospects for wheat prices to rebound above
the current $5.90 per bushel Portland delivered price don't look good,
given plunging stock markets and relatively good weather around the
Dan Steiner, a grain marketing specialist for both Pendleton Grain
Growers and Morrow County Grain Growers, delivered that message
Wednesday as areas growers were signing up to attend today's video
wheat marketing meetings being broadcast simultaneously at Oregon State
University Extension offices across the state, including in Baker City.
In mid-August Steiner was advising growers to sell at least some of
their wheat crop at the prices offered then - $8.40 a bushel for soft
white wheat delivered to Portland, or the $9.25 September futures price.
At that time, Steiner reminded growers that, compared to historical
wheat prices in the $3 to $5 range, $8.40 to $9.25 was a good price
that would provide most growers with a profit, even after paying
soaring costs for fuel, fertilizers and pesticides.
He also reminded growers that less than 2 percent of the nation's wheat crop was available to sell when wheat prices peaked at $15 a bushel last January.
The Blatchfords, who grow wheat in Baker Valley, heeded Steiner's advice and sold some of their wheat before October prices for soft white wheat, the predominant variety grown in Northeastern Oregon, plunged below $6 a bushel.
About 8,800 acres of wheat were planted in Baker County in 2007.
When the wheat harvest started earlier this year in the Columbia Basin, many farmers held off selling some of their 2008 crop to see whether rains would revive the Australian wheat crop or if a drought would persist and drive world wheat prices higher in a repeat of the record 2007 market.
Blatchford said he sold some of his wheat crop on the futures market in the $8 to $9 range. But now it looks as if he will be stuck selling some in the $5 to $6 per bushel range.
On Wednesday, Steiner said last year's record wheat prices resulted from a perfect storm situation that's not likely to be repeated for the 2008 marketing year, or in the foreseeable future.
Those factors included the drought that ruined Australia's wheat crop, a poor U.S. corn crop, $4 a gallon gasoline and high demand for corn and other grains for ethanol production, which in turn boosted demand for wheat.
The American dollar's declining value compared to other currencies and a booming global economy in which people all over the world had more money to spend on food affected wheat prices, as well.
For growers who haven't sold all of their 2008 wheat yet, Steiner said the question is whether to sell today for $5.90 delivered to Portland (which after shipping costs translates to around $4.90 for Baker County growers) or hold out in the hope that prices will improve.
Steiner pointed to several factors that, from his view, indicate holding out for a higher price could be a mistake.
For one he cites the Baltic Freight Index, which has been a reliable indicator of price tends for various commodities.
A year ago, the Baltic Freight Index was 11,793 points, indicating the booming world trade in commodities and finished products at that time. As of Oct. 2, Steiner said, the Baltic Trade Index had plummeted to 2,990 points.
Those numbers indicate trouble still lies ahead for the global economy, which is not conducive to increasing wheat prices, Steiner said.
However, he said there is a bit of a silver lining, because the trade slump led shipping companies to reduce freight rates, which means it costs less to ship a bushel of wheat from the United States to the Pacific Rim, the Middle East, Africa and other export markets.
Steiner also points to the index market funds on the Chicago Exchange as an indicator to watch when deciding whether to sell wheat now or later.
"Last year, the index funds were pouring money into commodities. Now that commodity values are down, they are unloading them," Steiner said.
During the earlier commodity buying frenzy, Steiner said investment firms and other buyers purchased futures for 800 million bushels of wheat on the Chicago Exchange, but the U.S. wheat crop is projected to come in at about 600 million bushels, "leaving investors holding 25 percent more paper than we have commodity."
However, because weather conditions in Australia and elsewhere have boosted foreign wheat crops, and because foreign growers planted more acres to wheat hoping to cash in on a repeat of last year's record prices, Steiner said the worldwide wheat supply exceeds demand.
"There is not enough demand in this market to absorb the supply that's out there right now," Steiner said.
He said investors who bought wheat futures at $8.40 in August are facing a $400 million combined loss at the current Chicago wheat price of $6.12. However, Steiner said he expects those futures prices to drop another dollar to around $5.12 a bushel.
"Because of all this extra paper that's flying around, the Chicago futures are artificially high," Steiner said.
"It's like these guys who are trying to sell a house they bought for $250,000 that's now worth $150,000," he said.
While most of the signs he's watching seem to indicate wheat prices could drop, Steiner said so many factors can affect global wheat prices that there's always a ray of hope for those holding out for higher prices.
There's a slim chance that some catastrophe such as a drought, untimely frost or devastating storm will hit some part of the world and cause wheat supplies to dip below global demand, but Steiner said he wouldn't bet the farm on that happening.
Some growers are hoping the economy will suddenly improve and revive sagging demand for oil and gas, and possibly boost demand for grains used to produce ethanol, but again, Steiner doesn't recommend anyone bank on that prospect either.
"You can hope things will change all you want, but is that realistic? Show me one technical reason why you think things will change," Steiner said.
"Everybody is hoping wheat prices can't go down any lower, but people forget two and a half years ago we were at $4 wheat," Steiner said.
"There's no way you are going to see anything like what happened last year, happen again," Steiner said. "Other than short bumps or little rallies, I don't think prices will improve until the economy starts to improve."

Almost sheepishly or just mild and humble the very talented singer songwriter Pete Yorn stepped onto the incense infused stage at The Loft in Atlanta on a frigidly cold Sunday night. Pete’s kind eyes peek out from under his foppish hair as he greets his fans. The singer was greeted to an almost packed house of die-hard fans. Strumming three notes someone from the crowd yells out “Ice Age!” Pete chuckles and is bemused; he comments “Wow lets play name that tune in 3 notes!” The crowd enthusiastically cheers. Pete starts to play again and the crowd starts chanting “Ice Age!” Pete responds to the crowd that “Yes! I’m beginning with Ice Age because it is very cold outside tonight”.
As Pete continues to play the crowd sings along with every word of the opening song. When Pete finishes his opening song he explains what the song means to him. He acknowledges that the song can have different meanings to different people but for him the song is about being frozen with fear and afraid to move forward in life. Next up Pete played a new song that he is working on called “Can’t Stop” and this song also deals with difficult life situations.
The song “Can’t Stop” refers to dealing with people that you need to cut out of your life but for some reason you cannot. Although it was a solo acoustic show it was more of a group sing along as the crowd was singing right there with Pete. The show pretty much continued with Pete mixing up the old nostalgic favorites with new material. At one point during the show Pete asked the crowd for their input as he admitted there is no set list and that we are all making this up as we go.
The crowd was happy to oblige shouting out the favorite song and Pete happily playing it. Pete put on a great solo show tenderly playing his songs, sharing personal anecdotes, giving the back story on his songs, and sharing personal anecdotes. It was a really intimate show and a wonderful experience to see such admiration between Pete and his fans. I anticipated that his fans might be fans of his via Scarlett Johansson as Pete collaborates with her but I found that the fans at this show were there for Pete and Pete alone. I found this very endearing. Pete recently released a new EP with Scarlett called Apart.
Before Apart with Scarlett Johansson Pete Yorn has released albums since 2000. He came onto the music scene swinging in 2000 with his critically acclaimed solo debut record Musicforthemorningafter which according some music critics is one of the best records of the century. Since 2000 Pete has continued making music releasing 6 more albums. 2009’s Break Up, collaboration with Scarlett Johansson, reached platinum. The latest release from Pete is another duet with Scarlett and it consists of 5 songs. You can catch Pete on this current tour and hopefully catch a fun sing along night. His solo acoustic tour continues through Florida and then to his current home state California through March.

A Righteous Branch
Loving Father, my first glimpse of today is a reminder of Your faithfulness. You’re with me as I wake. Thank You.
Read JEREMIAH 23:1-8
Scripture taken from the Holy Bible, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION. Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 International Bible Society. All rights reserved throughout the world. Used by permission of International Bible Society.
“For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea” (Isa. 11:9).
The king was numbered among the “shepherds” of Judah/Israel. The failures of the royal house have already been well canvassed by Jeremiah. Now he considers the consequences of those failures on those who were led, God’s “flock” (3). Although some may have done nothing wrong, they are forced to share with their leaders the alienation of exile and consequent loss of identity that we saw yesterday. However unfair that may seem, it’s true that failures in leadership have an impact on those for whom the leaders are responsible. Those of us who presume to lead need to live constantly with Jesus’ chilling reminder that of those “who [have] been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” (Luke 12:48, TNIV).
Whatever the failures of their leaders, God cares deeply about the dispossessed sheep. For their sakes he does not abandon the failed house of David. Instead, he causes a “righteous Branch” (5) to sprout from the stump. Leadership will be restored, and it will bring the security that was sought idolatrously by the final kings of Judah (6; cf 22:21). The new king’s reign will be characterized by the righteousness and justice that was lacking in those kings (5; cf 22:13). The outcome of wise rule will be restoration of identity and belonging through a new exodus experience (7,8).
By introducing the word “savior” (6, absent in the Hebrew), the TNIV reads the Messiah in this passage. Jeremiah probably saw deliverance through a return to the land after exile. From this side of the cross we can see in Jesus the fulfillment of Jeremiah’s vision of security and belonging for his people. For, as Mary foresaw of the son she would bear, “He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty” (Luke 1:53). May our practice of leadership reflect those concerns.
In any leadership role you have, pray for blessings on those you lead.
Dear Lord, I pray for pastors and church leaders. May they walk with You in fellowship as they lead and serve Your people. May their ministries truly honor You.

Coleoptera or Beetles east of the Great PlainsBy Edwards, J. Gordon
Edwards Brothers, Ann Arbor, MI. 181 pp., 1949
Obviously the taxonomy is a bit dated, but the text has great discussions of many genera and subfamilies. I estimate roughly 500 detailed line drawings of antennae, tarsi, ventral details, etc.
"It contains an original, simplified, and completely-illustrated key for the identification of beetle families east of the Great Plains, a discussion of the appearance and habits of the various adult and larval forms, and a useful up-to-date  bibliography for each family."
