MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA – With excessive heat warnings sweeping over the United States’ upper Midwest and parts of the Mid-Atlantic over the weekend, and forecasts of another heatwave in many parts of Europe in the week ahead, the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) has released a set of guidelines for cities to prepare.
“Heatwaves are deadly and their impacts are on the rise globally due to climate change,” says Francesco Rocca, President of IFRC.
Among the tips given by the guideline to city administrators are predicting when the heat wave will affect your area, preparing for possible power outages, letting people know about the higher temperatures, preparing health agents to deal with heat-related emergencies and setting up cooling centers so that residents without air conditioning can cool off.
Advice for individuals facing extremely high temperatures include create a buddy-system where people check on each other on a regular basis, eat smaller, lighter meals more frequently, ingest more water or liquids, postpone outdoor activities and keep an eye out for pet dehydration.
According to climate researchers the hottest summers in Europe in the last 500 years have all occurred in the last two decades. According to the IFRC the 2003 European heatwave killed more than 70,000 people.
The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) has forecasted the highest threat level for forest fires for almost all of France and Spain on Thursday (July 25th), with “high” or “very high” threat levels for much of Portugal, Italy, Belgium and Germany.
Last week France’s SNCF railway company announced that its TGV trains (high-speed intercity train service) would be delayed due to the heat deforming railtracks, which reduces the speed of the trains.
In the United States, summers along the Eastern seaboard with temperatures climbing to the lows 100s Fahrenheit are not as uncommon as they used to be. Between 1999-2010, more than 7,400 people died from heat-related causes, an average of about 618 per year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the U.S. Global Change Research Program since the 1960s the average number of heat waves in fifty major American cities has tripled and cities, like Philadelphia, New York and Washington DC have exceedingly resorted to opening up cooling centers during summer months for tourists and those without air conditioning in their own homes.
“As many as five billion people live in areas of the world where heatwaves can be forecast before they happen, which means we have time to take early action to save lives. Cities are on the front lines of this public health emergency and are thus crucial in leading the fight to prevent unnecessary deaths from heat,” notes Rocca.
“Heat can be a silent killer because it doesn’t topple trees or rip roofs off houses like tornadoes and hurricanes,” agrees Eli Jacks, chief of fire and public weather services with NOAA’s National Weather Service.
According to the U.S. Global Change Research Program the tendency is that deaths related to heatwaves will continue to rise. “With continued warming, cold-related deaths are projected to decrease and heat-related deaths are projected to increase,” warns the entity.

Ontario Protecting Athletes Through Concussion SafetyPublished on
Ontario Protecting Athletes Through Concussion Safety
Hit. Stop. Sit. Video Kicks Off Rowan’s Law Awareness Campaign
Toronto — Ontario is making sport safer for competitive amateur athletes, children and youth and raising awareness about concussion safety.
Michael Tibollo, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, joined by Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, and Eric Lindros, Hockey Hall of Famer and concussion advocate, officially launched the Rowan's Law awareness campaign with a concussion safety video that has been playing in cinemas across Ontario. The province-wide campaign puts concussion safety information in front of Ontarians who need it most.
"With the spirit and story of Rowan Stringer's preventable passing, the Ontario government is protecting amateur athletes by raising awareness about concussion safety," said Minister Tibollo. "Reducing the risk of concussions is always the goal. But concussions happen. Knowing what to do if a concussion happens — whether you're an athlete, a student, a parent, a coach, an official or an educator — saves lives."
Through video, print, and social media, the Rowan's Law awareness campaign will change the conversation about how concussions are handled. The goal is to encourage coaches, parents and players to stop celebrating the "warriors" who jump back in the game too soon after a concussion — and instead recognize the serious brain injuries that concussions represent and the time required to treat them.
"Having experienced firsthand the effects of concussion, I am so proud to lend my voice to raising awareness about concussion safety," said Lindros. "Rowan's Law is using the slogan Hit.Stop.Sit. for this campaign to encourage kids to stop and sit it out when they get hit in a game. No one should play through a potential concussion."
Minister MacLeod sponsored Rowan's Law (Concussion Safety) in the Legislative Assembly, where it passed with unanimous support in March 2018.
Concussions can have serious consequences — from brain trauma to fatalities. We learned this with Rowan Stringer's death," said MacLeod. "I'm proud of Ontario's leadership in ushering in Canada's first concussion legislation and continue my call for other provinces and territories to do the same. It could save lives."
- Rowan’s Law was named after Rowan Stringer, a 17-year-old Ottawa rugby player, who died in spring 2013 from a condition known as second impact syndrome (catastrophic swelling of the brain).
- Starting July 1, 2019, athletes, parents, coaches and officials will be required to review the concussion awareness resources and their sport organization’s concussion code of conduct.
- The highest rates of concussion in Ontario are found among children and youth under the age of 18.
- Concussions represent more than one in five Ontario student injuries treated by a doctor or nurse.
- Ontario students who report a head injury are more than twice as likely to report very high emotional distress and less success in academics.

Utilising the discordant time signature changes so beloved of The Dillinger Escape Plan and their ilk, they apply that logic to a classic indie style that owes as much to the glory days of US college rock as it does the native sounds of the British Isles. Early Biffy Clyro is a glaringly obvious reference point but Delta Sleep are far from copyists. They’ve done a pretty job of taking their influences and jumbling them up into an engaging format that borrows a bit from here and a bit from there without ever over-egging the end product.
They have an uncanny ability to skip between styles within the space of a single song as well. ’21 Letters’ goes from big math-rock wig-outs to emo pleasantry before crashing forth into screeching discordance once more. Following such a genre-bender with the delicate interlude of ‘Aspetta’ is a genius stroke that shows a band who know how to play around with light and dark to great effect.
Delta Sleep are also rather canny when it comes to electro ambience, it would seem. ‘Spy Turtles’ is utterly glorious as an exercise in gentle atmospherics and whilst I doubt the band were aiming for it being the album highlight, it absolutely is. Kudos is given for twinning it with ‘Spy Dolphin’, the albums poppiest moment, as well. As a pairing they sit beautifully together.
Delta Sleep have gone for a tricky sound and pretty much nailed it. Whether ‘Twin Galaxies’ lives long in the memory remains to be seen, but for now, it hits the spot with ease.
Twin Galaxies by Delta Sleep is out now on Big Scary Monsters.

The Dangers of Not Vaping – Weighing the advantages of E-Cigarettes Against Smoking
What is it about electronic cigarettes which makes them such a sensation with smokers and potential new users? E-Cigarettes look set to cause an historic decline in the availability of nicotine products. If this appears like a good thing, you may want to read on!
One of the biggest risks associated with the use of electronic cigarettes is the threat of nicotine addiction. Nicotine has been proven to be just about the most addictive substances known. One cigarette containing anywhere around 20mg of nicotine can leave a person with a full craving for cigarettes.
Because of this , the tobacco industry is fighting attempts by national health service to introduce regulated nicotine products onto the marketplace. The UK government also announced a technique last month to help teens in the country cut their using tobacco by rendering it easier for young people to obtain cigarettes and e-cigs. However, one element of this strategy can make it much harder for teens to quit. This is actually the inclusion of a nicotine patch in to the national smoking cessation program.
Everybody knows the dangers of smoking marijuana. It could cause all kinds of diseases such as for example insomnia, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects are present in only about every joint injector that smoking marijuana. The inclusion of a nicotine patch in to the national smoking cessation strategy may help make it a bit easier to quit smoking cigarettes but it won’t eliminate the serious health threats connected with smoking weed.
Marijuana is also known to have many health threats. It could cause cancer, reduce lung functioning, cause short term memory loss and cognitive impairment. So it goes without saying that using anything that contains nicotine is going to cause these problems. This is very good news for vaporizers that desire to quit smoking because utilizing an electronic cigarette won’t put users at risk of Vape Pen these problems.
A great benefit of using a vaporizer is that they can be used in the privacy of your home. Many people think it is hard to quit cigarettes since they don’t want the hassle or embarrassment that comes along with others knowing they are quitting. By using an e-Cig, no-one will know that you will be even trying to quit. It is possible to still perform your entire daily activities, when you are vaporizing your normal tobacco. All of your friends and family can get back to smoking the way they will have.
Another benefit to vaporizing your regular tobacco is that you’ll significantly decrease the amount of money that you spend on a pack of cigarettes every day. Even if you aren’t a heavy smoker, you can observe a dramatic decrease in the money that you spend on a cigarette. E-Cigarettes do cost more than other tobacco products, but they are much cheaper than with them every day. So while they’re slightly more costly than traditional cigarettes, you’ll still save lots of money in the long run by using an electronic device. This is especially true if you don’t use e-Cig’s frequently.
One of the biggest dangers that many people don’t think about is the chance for heart disease. In the event that you aren’t already taking precautions to safeguard your heart, then you should start by adding a little e-Cig Vapor to your daily routine. vaporizing liquids may seem such as a small thing when you consider them in isolation, nevertheless, you that there are so many different vaporizing health risks that you should be very concerned about.

Maybach Music Group’s resident DJ, DJ Scream brings through Washington, DC repping MMG Member Wale, and ATLiens Ludacris and Future for his latest track “Cee-Lo”, taken from his upcoming album, Long Live The Hustle.
Scream offers up a hard knocking tune that is sure to be played on rotation in the clubs, if only for the fact that it has Future’s distinctive voice on the hook, which has become synonymous with hit records lately.
Spitting over a beat produced by 808 Mafia, MMG’s Wale delivers a fairly standard verse but is slightly outshone by the lyrical skills of Ludacris, who sounds a lot better here than he has done on recent records. The ATL native gives us those kind of aggressive and enjoyable bars we are used to hearing from him and reminds us that he hasn’t completely lost his touch in the rap game. In fact, this song is probably worth a listen just to hear Ludacris back on form.
Long Live The Hustle is yet to receive a release date, so until then check out DJ Scream’s new track “Cee-Lo” below.

Hello hello my dears! Boy have I missed you! Apologies for the prolonged silence, things have been rather crazy of late as I dash from one corner of the country to the other. But I do have some fantastic news! One of my paintings, Shadows, was accepted to the Couplings show in Seattle’s Pioneer Square. The artist reception and awards are on February 2nd, and the show runs Feb. 3rd through Feb. 26th. I’ll post more particulars later on.
I have so much to tell but for now I wanted to share what the Whidbey world looked like when Jacob and I arrived from Texas. I should be back to my regular posting schedule next week.
From 70 degrees and sunny to 25 degrees and snowy. Seasons in fast forward.
The morning after we arrived, I caught the sunrise sparkling pink and gold over the newly fallen 5 inches of snow. It was sublime.
The few apples still cleaving to their branches reminded me of Christmas tree bobbles with their little snow caps. Starting to feel festive!
It’s good to be back to the farm and all the delicious perks that come with it.

I hope you’re enjoying reading 31 Days of Before & After Shots as much as I’m enjoying writing it. It’s fun going through photos and looking for my favorites to show you. Today’s image highlights cropping and black and white processing.
I took this photo in March at the concert photography pre-conference workshop at Photoshop World. Although my camera is nice, my lenses aren’t too fancy. I didn’t have a lens that would zoom in close in low light, so this was taken with a 50mm f/1.8.
Attendees of this workshop could submit one photo for a chance to win a new camera and lens from Nikon. Mine came in second place.
- A serious amount of cropping.
- Convert to a high contrast black and white (make the whites whiter and the blacks blacker). I applied a Lightroom preset called Noir Film, which I think I downloaded here.
- Noise reduction (the image was grainy and shot at ISO 1000.
- Add a vignette (darken around the edges).
Any questions? Are you enjoying this series?

Every few years, water heater codes for the Monterey county area change to adopt new installation and safety measures. While intended to increase your overall home safety, these code requirements can result in extra installation charges.
Currently, most towns in and around Monterey County require a permit for a water heater installation. The good news is we can pull the permit for you, and it will not slow down any work on our end.
We try to keep this information as up-to-date as possible, but your local installer can answer any specific questions you have.
The following are safety regulations that we have found are typically enforced in towns in and around Monterey County. We go to great lengths to ensure that the information provided here is accurate, but please consult your installer, whose knowledge will be in-depth and up-to-date.
Approved Location – In Monterey County, bedrooms and bathrooms cannot be used for water heater storage areas. Closets may be used if that is their only purpose. This regulation is currently enforced because if a gas water heater is incorrectly vented, its deadly carbon monoxide (CO) emissions could enter your home.
Earthquake Straps – The California Plumbing Code requires the use of earthquake straps to secure your water heater. The straps must be located on the top-third of the tank as well as the bottom-third. Most communities in Monterey County enforce this code for your safety.
Venting – Most water heaters in the Monterey County area are gas-powered, emitting small amounts of carbon monoxide (CO) as they operate. This requires correct venting of the water heater. The size of the vent is determined by the size of the water heater. If the vent material gets hot, it will need sufficient clearance to avoid touching combustible or flammable materials. This is actively enforced in most of Monterey County.
Pans and Drains – Water heaters situated on a built-in platform or in an interior location could leak and cause water damage. A requirement of the CA Plumbing Code requires that a pan be placed under the water heater with an attached drain-line running to the exterior.
Pressure and Temperature Relief Drain (“P&T Drain”) to the Exterior – Although your P&T Drain is required to be run to the exterior to prevent scalding while the pressure and temperature relief is discharging, there are some instances where piping to the exterior is not possible. Most inspectors in Monterey County enforce this requirement, and also allow a Watts 210 valve to be used as a substitute.
Dedicated Water Shutoff – With a dedicated water shutoff you can turn off the water to the water heater while it is being serviced and still have water in the rest of the house.
Pipe Insulation – Pipes must be insulated if they are exposed in unconditioned space.
Bonding – The CA Electric Code requires water and gas pipes to be grounded. To successfully ground all the pipes, they must be bonded with 6 AWG wire and clamps. As plumbing and electrical wiring are often adjacent to, or near, each other, it is possible for your pipes to be energized if your wires begin to deteriorate, putting you in a dangerous situation. Inspectors are currently requiring this.

I survived the night!
Posted May 17, 2016
This felt like a pay by the hour place of you get my gist. There were definitely some "working women" that were "working" from the hotel. The place reeks of smoke even though the first thing they tell you is that it is a non-smoking hotel. I was petrified getting back to my room after dark and pretty much ran the whole way so I wouldn't get mugged or sold to the sex trade.
That being said the staff was nice enough and the free breakfast, though it was only packaged foods, was free.
If you like adventure and living on the edge, this may be the place for you. Thankfully I only had to someone night!

After a weekend of near 30C weather, the Horsefly River is just starting to flow over its banks at the bridge with water creeping into the day use area along the river and closer to the road.
There are currently no flood warnings, however, in the Williams Lake area, according to the BC River Forecast Centre.
Environment Canada is calling for sunny skies and above average temperatures for most of the week.
Today and Tuesday’s temperature is expected to reach 28C. Wednesday the daytime high should reach 26C with some rain expected for Thursday and daytime high of 22C.
Friday should reach a high of 24C, before things heat up again Saturday and Sunday with daytime highs of 27C on the long weekend.

On Friday morning, the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) launched an important counter-offensive at the strategic hilltop of Tal Al-Bardah after losing large swathes of territory to the Syrian Armed Forces in the Homs Governorate’s southeastern countryside over the last three weeks.
ISIS began the assault by launching two VBIEDs (vehicle borne improvised explosive device) towards the Syrian Arab Army’s defenses at the southern slope of Tal Al-Bardah.
However, the two VBIEDs were destroyed by the Syrian Armed Forces before they could reach their intended targets.
Following the failed VBIED attacks, several ISIS fighters stormed the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) defenses at the southern slope of Tal Al-Bardah, resulting in a fierce battle that lasted for over four hours on Friday.
Initially, ISIS was able to achieve a minor break-through after overrunning a Syrian Arab Army checkpoint at the southern perimeter of Tal Al-Bardah.
ISIS’ success did not last long, thanks in large part to the Russian Air Force’s merciless aerial assault that forced the terrorists to flee the hilltop and scatter across the vast Homs Desert.
According to a military source at the T-4 Military Airport, ISIS suffered approximately 15-20 casualties during the assault, while the Syrian Armed Forces reported 6 soldiers killed-in-action (KIA).
If ISIS is unable to take Tal Al-Bardah, then they could find their primary supply route from Quraytayn to Palmyra in danger if the Syrian Armed Forces launch an offensive to the south of this hilltop.

Katherine Schwarzenegger Predicted Her Future Romance With Chris Pratt In This TBT Video
Is Katherine Schwarzenegger a wizard? You might think I'm asking that because she has a face that's glowy and perfect, or because she's got a fashion sense that many would kill for. But no. I ask this because I truly believe she's a sorceress who can see what's in store for her life to come. If you're not following, then let me take things one step further to explain: it's because Katherine Schwarzenegger predicted her future romance with Chris Pratt, and there's a video that proves it. C'mon, that's totally a wizard move.
As you should fully know by now, Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are engaged, and Pratt announced the news on his Instagram on Monday, Jan. 14. In a selfie of him and Schwarzenegger cuddling close, he wrote,
Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I’m thrilled to be marrying you. Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go!
I mean, is your heart not melting as we speak? Plus, he added the engagement ring emoji at the end of his caption, so you know this is the real deal.
Check out the picture below that shares the happy news, and the jaw-dropping ring that Pratt proposed with.
Now, let's take things back a bit to a time before Schwarzenegger and Pratt were even dating. Back in August 2017, Schwarzenegger was interviewed by Access Hollywood, asking which Hollywood "Chris" she found the most attractive: Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, or Chris Evans.
"Chris Evans," she initially stated in an almost rapid-fire response.
BUT THEN, she pauses for a moment, and changes her response.
"Actually, Chris Pratt. Chris has been looking good lately so you never know!"
Oh, you never know? Really, Katherine? You mean to tell us that you randomly swapped your answer, without any type of sorcery involved?
Just kidding. If anything, Schwarzenegger would be a good wizard. But still!
Watch the video below, and tell me that she doesn't have a Magic 8-Ball hidden somewhere on her person:
Sure, so when Katherine Schwarzenegger says that Chris Pratt is cute and made a suggestive remark about dating him, it's fate, but when I do it, it's laughable and unattainable? I mean, what does she have that I don't have? (Don't answer that.)
Rumors that the two were dating initially started back in June 2018 when they were spotted on a picnic date in Santa Barbara, California. Photos published by TMZ showed Pratt and Schwarzenegger seemingly having a casual date, but things heated up quickly, with Pratt confirming that they were an item in an Instagram post dedicated to Schwarzenegger for her birthday in December that read,
Happy Birthday Chief! Your smile lights up the room. I’ve cherished our time together. Thrilled God put you in my life. Thankful for the laughs, kisses, talks, hikes, love and care.
The whole "chief" pet name is a bit... unique, but still, I'm super happy for them.
A big congratulations to Chris Pratt and Sorceress Katherine!

Every patient attends to a medical specialist to bring back the smile and forget the pain. It is every specialist medical duty to adhere to the medical rules and offer the services in the ultimate professional way. Unfortunately, it is a disappointment that the people supposed to save people lives from pain may lead to a sharper pain or even faster death. It is scaring the number of deaths caused by the negligence of the doctors and nurses by failing to act competently and professionally. It is better to refer the patient to another doctor instead of worsening the situation.
Are you a patient suffering out of the negligence of a doctor? Was a test done without your consent? Was the surgery done, and hygiene failed to be maintained? Was your privacy not be kept during the diagnosis and after? Don’t stress any more you can hire any medical malpractice lawyer savannah ga for compensation through a legal system. A medical malpractice attorney is a type of personal injury lawyer who specializes in helping individuals suffering due to the negligence of health practitioner through the legal system for compensation and also prevent such cases.
What are Services Offered by a Medical Malpractice Attorney?
Once you hire a medical practice, he must file the case and gather the evidence and prepare a reliable verbal and physical backup. The lawyer may request an independent medical examination to determine the extent of the injury and prove it is as a result of the medical practitioner’s negligence. The lawyer deposes all the witnesses and presents them. You should always hire a trustworthy and competent lawyer for you might have to show the prior medical letters and disclose most of your information on your health without fear of victimization.
Also, the lawyer is your advocate. He speaks on your behalf before the jury and answers all the questions. The lawyer brings it out that the loss or the injury incurred is as a result of the medical practitioner negligence by giving out the independent test carried out. It gives the reason as to why you should hire an attorney with excellent communication skills to quickly convince the jury and provide appropriate answers for the right questions.
Besides, the lawyer must carry out the independent medical test. These are test done to act as evidence of failure to follow the medical giver’s rules. You can inquire if you will incur a separate expense on the test. The fee should be affordable and equitable. While going through the test, ensure it is safe for your health and is carried in a professional way to avoid further injuries. Ensure the doctor is qualified and the analysis is within the questionable system
In a nutshell, never go into silence after medical malpractice. It is a disappointment that these issues are in a continual rise due to the persistent silence of the plaintiffs. As a medical practitioner note that your actions determine the health of your patient. Practice the secrecy needed by the patient unless it is in for better results.

During the February 24th, 2014 broadcast of Steve Deace's radio show, Iowa Republican Bob Vander Plaats attacked Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) over his silence on a federal court ruling striking down his state's same-sex marriage ban.
"If another good friend of ours, Newt Gingrich, was in his position from the state of Kentucky, I can almost guarantee what Newt's response would have been," said Vander Plaats. "It would have been, 'We need to defund that court, we need to defund that judge. The Congress still holds the power of the purse. If we have courts, if we have judges operating outside of their constitutional authority, let's pull their meal ticket away'."
Like countless other wannabe religious authoritarians in America, Vander Plaats attempted to disguise his push for discriminatory theocracy as a fight for freedom and liberty.
"He's about liberty," Vander Plaats said of Rand Paul. "And if it's about liberty, and if you have a judge usurping the will of the people of Kentucky, that runs contrary to liberty. If you believe marriage is a state rights issue and the state of Kentucky says, 'This is what marriage is to us, one man and one woman, clearly defined,' then you better stand up to that state rights issue.
"If you believe what you say you believe, that marriage is foundational and it’s between a man and a woman, which is what he says he believes, then you got to stand up for that, because that’s the law of nature, that’s the law of nature’s God, that’s the Declaration of Independence, which this whole country was founded on."
Of course, Vander Plaat's argument once again completely falls apart at the very first sentence; the part where he says "it's about liberty."
It has been said countless times before, but it warrants repeating however many times are required before it finally sinks in: This isn't about religious liberty, it's about religious persecution; about self-proclaimed Christians trying to force others to accept their very narrow definition of marriage.
Vander Plaats will always be free to have a stick up his butt about two men sharing a wedding cake, but his freedoms are not being violated every single time they do so.


This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend the premier performance of the Coburn Conservatory’s Baroque Ensemble led by Ian Pritchard of Tesserae fame and it was an incredible performance of several Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi pieces by young, enthusiastic students. It made me realize how fortunate we are in Southern California to have such a dynamic and growing early music scene. As I look over the concert calendars that I have included in the OCRS newsletters of the last 6 years, I was reminded of the many groups and individuals who have contributed to this growth that now goes back several decades as well as the several new groups that have appeared recently. Jouyssance Early Music Ensemble bringing choral music to Los Angeles since 1968, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (1968): Baroque Conversations, built upon a tradition of joyous music-making performed by exceptional artists, the Corona del Mar Baroque Music Festival with Elizabeth Blumenstock presenting an astounding wealth and diversity of Baroque music in a wide variety of ways since 1981, Con Gioia with Preethi de Silva, Los Angeles Baroque Players, and the Harpsichord Center Artist Series with Tony Brasier bringing outstanding performances on period instruments, Musica Angelica bringing some of the best Baroque musicians from across the country and Europe since 1993, the USC Thornton School of Music’s Early Music program with Adam and Rotem Gilbert who, since 2005 who have done so much to bring world-wide recognition and a host of students to this genre as well as outstanding achievement in performance and scholarship in the field of early music education, Tesserae Baroque Ensemble of Los Angeles with Alexandra Opsahl and Ian Pritchard bringing intimate chamber music of the early 17th century to the splendor of large-scale Venetian polychoral music since 2010, and UCLA’s Early Music Ensemble dedicated to Western vocal and instrumental music from historical periods prior to 1800, More recently several groups have burst on the scene: Los Angeles Baroque—LA’s only community Baroque orchestra, founded by violinist Lindsey Strand-Polyak and cellist Alexa Haynes-Pilon in 2016, and most recently, Delirium Musicum, founded in 2018, (winners of the Beverly Hills National Auditions) with its exciting dynamic playing style
And these are just a few of the many groups and offerings available. As the 2017–2018 season draws to a close take a look at this month’s Concert Calendar for some exciting events and please support the early music scene here in Southern California with your attendance and donation to continue this wonderful tradition.

One of the qualities of a truly iconic brand is the transcendence of language: the above three logos are immediately recognizable without an accompanying wordmark (these are the logos for Target, Pepsi, and Apple). When done successfully, brand icons of this caliber can be understood around the world to speakers of any language. This advanced level of familiarity in the minds of consumers means that your brand’s symbols have truly penetrated the marketplace, and therefore represents the pinnacle of branding. So how did these brands get there?
The High Cost of Familiarity
I first began thinking about this word-free brand symbolism when I noticed the above logo, used by a certain ubiquitous soft-drink purveyor. This, of course, is a Coca-Cola logo (it’s one that the brand uses in some secondary contexts). Coke has accomplished the considerable feat of branding the simple shape of a basic household object: a bottle. The shape’s outline combined with Coca Cola’s red color instantly strikes the brand’s impression in your mind – even without their classic script logo.
Coke – much like Nike and its transcendent Swoosh – has achieved this potent level of familiarity primarily through years of multimillion-dollar marketing and advertising efforts. Design plays a role here, but this advanced level of familiarity is only possible with the spending power to get your logo imprinted in front of millions of eyes, over and over again. It must be thoroughly integrated into the visual landscape of television ads, grocery store aisles, and mall shelves over the years – even decades. It’s expensive to be this well-known.
Designing for Transcendence
The pictorial icons that we use in airports are so effective because they can be understood by speakers of any language. This is a primitive level of iconography that humans have used since the first time a caveman used a stick to scratch the outline of a buffalo in dirt. The same kind of symbolism gives the Apple logo its strength: the icon of the apple is synonymous with the brand name, so the logo can say “apple” without language (read more about the meaning of the Apple logo). Even a baby can recognize the shape. This is called a pictograph – a pictorial representation of an idea.
In rare cases like the Apple logo, this kind of symbolism makes sense. Design blog The Fox is Black (logo pictured above) also employs an icon that is synonymous with its name. But most brand names aren’t suitable for a pictograph: there’s no pictorial icon that says ‘Vanity Fair’ or ‘Sony’ without employing text. At least they haven’t been designed yet.
Even without a Pepsi-sized advertising budget, designing with elemental, iconic thinking can go a long way. Remember that the Nike Swoosh was a brilliant stroke of design conceived by a college student for a mere $35 before the brand was a household name. It’s that kind of intelligent design – that which communicates with clear, bold visual language – that can strengthen the voice of any brand.

Instagram Generation Least Likely to Insure their ‘Beach Body’
Gocompare have released some more shocking figures – one fifth of young people admit to travelling overseas without travel cover!
Instagram and other social sharing sites are awash with travel photographs. But, with claims for medical treatment overseas costing on average £1,300 GoCompare Travel Insurance is urging young holidaymakers to ensure they’re ‘beach-body’ ready by adding travel insurance to their pre-holiday shopping list.
Travel insurance provides financial protection against a range of events including the cost of medical expenses for accidents and illness abroad, the loss or theft of luggage and holiday cancellation.
A new survey commissioned by GoCompare Travel Insurance found that only 55% of 18 to 24 year olds always make sure they arrange travel insurance. Worryingly, a fifth admit to having travelled overseas without cover – running the risk of being many thousands of pounds out of pocket if they need emergency medical attention in a foreign country.
When questioned why they travelled overseas without insurance, half of young adults surveyed said they thought it was too expensive; 37% forgot and 12% just couldn’t be bothered to arrange it. Just over a fifth (21%) didn’t buy cover simply because they felt they wouldn’t need it.
Travel insurance covers unexpected events such as injury, theft, travel delays and holiday cancellation and, the survey revealed that many 18 to 24 year old holidaymakers had experiences and mishaps which could be insured against. Over a third (36%) had suffered delays or cancellations to flights and ferries; 16% had baggage lost by an airline; 9% had valuables either lost or stolen; 7% needed medical attention abroad; 2% said they’d spent at least one night in hospital.
GoCompare Travel Insurance’s research also revealed that many young adults were unclear about the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Just over half (52%) knew that an EHIC provides access to free medical treatment or treatment at a reduced cost while visiting another European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland. However, 27% had never heard of an EHIC and, 16% wrongly believed that an EHIC would allow repatriation to the UK by air ambulance, free of charge.
Martyn John from GoCompare Travel Insurance commented: “Let’s face it, arranging travel insurance is never going to be the highlight of anyone’s holiday, but it could end up being the most important piece of preparation you can do. In the UK, we’re used to receiving free medical care, but it’s important for travellers to remember that not every country has the same healthcare system that we’re used to at home. Industry figures from The Association of British Insurers show that last year, payments for emergency medical treatment abroad accounted for 54% of travel insurance claims with the industry paying out £199 million.”
Martyn John continued: “Each country’s health system is different. In many countries, you’ll find a mixture of private and public provision but in some such as the USA, healthcare is fully privately funded. Even in Europe, despite the common misconception, the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) does not provide ‘free’ healthcare, which means without a dedicated insurance policy you could still be facing a hefty bill for your medical treatment. Travel insurance isn’t as expensive as you might think, basic single trip policies can be bought for less than £10. In comparison, a few nights stay in a foreign hospital can easily run into thousands of pounds and medical repatriation can be even more expensive – making the few minutes it takes to get online and find a policy time well spent.”

Last week’s midterm elections saw Democrats retake the House and Republicans strengthen their hold in the Senate. While the battle for Congress hardly produced the blue waves many Democrats hoped for, the party of “resist” has a new bargaining chip.
With the power of a House majority behind them, Democrats are now faced with a choice: Negotiate for legislative wins or total warfare.
Democrats have a chance to launch an aggressive assault against President Donald Trump and his administration. Articles of impeachment, which can be used against any member of the Executive or Judicial branch, must originate in the House. This means that while the Senate has the newfound strength to confirm Trump’s nominees, Democrats could easily threaten to obstruct.
This would be a waste.
While there is a ripe opportunity to get anti-Trump sound bites and stoke partisanship, Democrats have far more tangible gains to win through compromise and negotiation with the Senate.
The “Power of the Purse” is an exclusive power of the House and, as a result, spending and tax bills must originate in the 435-member chamber. Trump campaigned on infrastructure investment, as well as reforming Social Security and the Department of Veteran’s Affairs.
While some of these may be difficult to work across the aisle, others, like infrastructure spending, would provide real legislative wins to Democrats to take home to their electorates. But, this rests on Democrats being willing to propose something that would benefit everyone.
Bringing a spirit of bipartisanship to the 116th Congress offers the potential for a Democratic facelift. Since Trump’s election in 2016, which brought with it House and Senate majorities for Republicans, Democrats have had few incentives but to be “no” votes.
Now, Democrats can be more than roadblocks to a Republican agenda and it would serve their interests. Many of the seats flipped in 2018 went to moderate Democrats who will face heated battles for re-election in 2020. Working with Republicans will only help these Democrats hold their seats in districts where partisanship is not appreciated.
In a victory speech, following confirmation that Democrats would retake the House, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D- CA) said, “We will strive for bipartisanship. We believe that we have a responsibility to seek common ground where we can.”
It now rests on the shoulders of Pelosi and House Democratic leadership to follow through on that statement. All Americans stand to benefit and our elected officials should recognize that.
