Lauryn Hill has announced she will play a series of acoustic gigs in New York and Washington, DC this February.
As reported by Rap Up, the former Fugees MC will perform to an intimate crowd of 250 to 500 fans at venues such as The Howard Theatre in DC and Brooklyn’s Rough Trade.
In addition, those who buy a VIP Meet and Greet ticket will have the opportunity to get their picture taken with Hill, as well as receiving a limited edition art poster designed by the “Everything is Everything” singer.
Lauryn Hill plays:
Howard Theatre, Washington, DC (February 13)
Howard Theatre, Washington, DC (14)
Rough Trade, Brooklyn, NY (17)
Highline Ballroom, New York, NY (20)
Highline Ballroom, New York, NY (23)
Blue Note, New York, NY – early and late show (25)
Hill performed a series of shows in London last September, but the performances were met with harsh Twitter criticism. Following her appearance at the O2 Academy Brixton on September 20, Hill began to trend on the social networking site after attendees complained not only that she was an hour and a half late onstage, but also the way Hill re-vamped her old material, apparently making her classic songs nearly unrecognisable from the original versions.
“Think I’ve just witnessed the worst version of ‘Everything is everything’ by #LaurynHill by Lauryn Hill,” posted Leo Fedorcio. “Tonight’s #LaurynHill gig was one of the most confusing experiences of my life.”

The US Supreme Court rejected a case on Tuesday regarding a public school teacher who forced her pupils to say the Muslim “conversion prayer” or receive a failing grade.
Caleigh Wood, an 11th grade student at the La Plata High School in La Plata, Maryland, believes the mandate imposed upon her by her teacher violated her Christian beliefs. The Thomas More Law Center, an Ann Arbor, Michigan based nonprofit law firm, took her case and ultimately presented it to America’s highest court.
The law center contends that Wood refused to jeopardize her deeply-held convictions “by making a written profession of the Muslim conversion prayer known as the shahada – ‘There is no god by allah and Muhammad is the messenger of allah.'”
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled inexplicably that the teacher did not violate the Constitution with this anti-Christian religious mandate in the classroom. Wood was also subjected to a demeaning PowerPoint display that proclaimed “Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian.”
Richard Thompson, who works as the chief counsel for the law center, says he is “not aware of any public school which has forced a Muslim student to write the Lord’s Prayer or John 3:16: ‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'”
“Yet, under the pretext of teaching history or social studies, public schools across America are promoting the religion of Islam in ways that would never be tolerated for Christianity or any other religion,” Thompson said.
“It’s disappointing that the Supreme Court did not take this opportunity to clarify the test which lower courts should use when ruling on establishment clause and free speech challenges to public school classes on religion,” he added.
The school also allegedly attempted to indoctrinate Wood with teachings such as, “Islam at heart is a peaceful religion,” “Jihad is a ‘personal struggle in devotion to Islam, especially involving spiritual discipline,'” “To Muslims, Allah is the same God that is worshiped in Christianity and Judaism,” and “Men are the managers of the affairs of women.”
Thompson contends that this is apart of a broader movement to Islamify America as multiculturalism and diversity become the inescapable reality for the once free nation.
“Many public schools have become hot beds of Islamic propaganda. Teaching Islam in schools has gone far beyond a basic history lesson. Prompted by zealous Islamic activism and emboldened by confusing court decisions, schools are now bending over backwards to promote Islam while at the same time denigrating Christianity,” Thompson said.
“Although the Supreme Court passed up an opportunity to provide clearer constitutional guidance on this important issue, there will be other chances as this issue isn’t going away anytime soon,” he added.
Unfortunately for Christians nationwide, the Supreme Court declined to even hear this case. The nation’s schools will inch closer to Islamification, after the nation’s highest court refused to intervene to stop this process.
President Donald Trump Urges House Republicans to Vote Against Re-Authorizing FISA Secret Courts
Trump has learned the right lesson from the Russian collusion madness.
President Donald Trump is pushing back against the deep state by urging House Republicans to reject the re-authorization of the FISA secret court system.
He made the announcement in a tweet issued on Tuesday evening.
I hope all Republican House Members vote NO on FISA until such time as our Country is able to determine how and why the greatest political, criminal, and subversive scandal in USA history took place!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 26, 2020
The Russian collusion investigation was made possible due to the FISA secret courts, which essentially rubber-stamped all kinds of illicit spying on the President and his associates.
The FISA court threw the FBI under the bus in the aftermath of the Russia-gate farce that exposed the treachery of the federal government:
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court issued a sharp rebuke of the FBI on Tuesday, accusing them of “so many basic and fundamental errors” in filing the surveillance application for former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
“The FBI’s handling of the Carter Page applications, as portrayed in the OIG report, was antithetical to the heightened duty of candor described above,” Rosemary Collyer, presiding judge with the FISC, wrote in an order to the FBI released by the court…
Inspector General Michael Horowitz detailed a comedy of errors from an FBI that has proven itself to be ridiculously incompetent or malicious in its attempts to pin Russian collusion on President Trump and his close associates.
Collyer said that the report has presented “troubling instances in which FBI personnel provided information to NSD [the National Security Division of the Justice Department] which was unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession.”
“The frequency with which representations made by FBI personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession, and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable,” Collyer wrote.
“The FISC expects the government to provide complete and accurate information in every filing with the Court. Without it, the FISC cannot properly ensure that the government conducts electronic surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes only when there is a sufficient factual basis,” she added.
President Trump has come out against FISA after many talks with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who has been leading the charge against the unconstitutional secret court system since long before Russia-gate.
“It flies in the face of our Constitution that a secret court can authorize invading an innocent American’s privacy. Recent months have once again made all too clear how such a system leads to abuse. It’s time for Congress to stop paying lip service to reform and pass real safeguards that respect Americans’ rights. What happened to General Flynn and President Trump should never be allowed to happen again,” Paul said earlier this year.
The House is expected to vote on FISA re-authorization Wednesday morning. President Trump hopes that his words can influence Republicans into doing the right thing and pushing back against an intelligence community that has clearly run amok.

Up to 40% of women with breast cancer must undergo repeat procedures to remove cancerous cells that were missed during the first operation. This is due to a lack of three-dimensional data.
But now a team of mechanical engineers and pathologists have invented a microscope that could potentially assist surgeons to remove breast tumours completely.
The microscope, developed by scientists and engineers at the University of Washington
Health24 previously reported that in some women with breast cancer, taking soy protein supplements boosted the expression of tumour genes associated with an increase in tumour cells.
When removing a breast tumour, known as a lumpectomy, surgeons attempt to remove the cancer but spare as much healthy tissue as possible. But it may take several days after surgery before lab results reveal if the lumpectomy was successful or if additional surgery is needed to remove cancerous cells that were missed, the study’s authors explained.
Part of the tumour left behind
“Surgeons are sort of flying blind during these breast-conserving surgeries. Oftentimes they’ve left some tumour behind which they don’t know about until a few days later when the pathologist finds it,” said mechanical engineering professor Jonathan Liu in a university news release.
“If we can rapidly image the entire surface or margin of the excised tissue during the procedure, we can tell them if they still have tumour left in the body or not. And that would be a huge benefit to cancer patients.”
The newly designed microscope uses a sheet of light to visually “slice” through and image a tissue sample without destroying any of it. This ensures all the tissue is preserved for further testing, which can help doctors learn more about the cancer and determine the best course of treatment, according to the study published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering.
“If we can do this without consuming any tissue, so much the better,” said co-author Dr Larry True, a professor of pathology at UW Medicine. “We want to use that valuable tissue for purposes which are becoming ever more important for treating patients such as sequencing the tumour cells and finding genetic abnormalities that we can target with specific drugs and other precision medicine techniques.”
“The tools we use in pathology have changed little over the past century,” said study co-author Dr Nicholas Reder, chief resident and clinical research fellow in UW Medicine’s Department of Pathology in the news release.
“This light-sheet microscope represents a major advance for pathology and cancer patients, allowing us to examine tissue in minutes rather than days and to view it in three dimensions instead of two, which will ultimately lead to improved clinical care.”

For What She’s Worth Sep25 by melodylowes Fallen, but not discarded.

Blooming in the trenches could be a metaphor for a lot of good things.
I like to think so! Thanks Lyle.
lovely photograph and great metaphors.
Beautiful audacity 🙂
Blooming in the trenches deserves admiration and often showcases the real beauty…
Well-said indeed! 🙂
Melody, I love those pink petals! Lovely post.

Thank you Wendy! How have you been keeping? I sure haven’t had the time to whiz around and visit all my blogging friends lately….
I am keeping busy with a bouquet of creative projects. Yes, it is a juggling act to attempt to visit all the blogs that I enjoy. I’m always behind… but trying to enjoy the journey. 🙂 Have a restful weekend, poet friend.
so true – are you in the trenches these days?
Meh. I’ve been in much worse. Everything is relative, right? But I understand that feeling of being downtrodden – and the victory of blooming despite it all. Powerful stuff…
love visiting with you here… always inspiring … peaceful … and lovely … hope you are well, dear friend!
Thank you, Heidi! I am well – fighting a cold, but finally have a camera replacement. Today I am snapping to my heart’s content – poetry to follow soon!! 🙂
yeah!!! Looking forward to it!
Sometimes the best and most beautiful things in life come out of the worse places. I always did loathe the smell of manure but it has some great uses, and many sweet smelling roses has passed that way 🙂
How right you are! What a great word picture to describe one of life’s more ‘aromatic’ truths. We don’t have to like it to acknowledge its power… Thanks RumPunch!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas
Santa Fe's First Evening Childcare Facility to Open, Thanks to Grant
Funds from FHLB Dallas and Century Bank Assisted With Start-Up Costs
SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO, June 16, 2017 — Since she was a teenager, Neda Talebreza knew she would end up working in childcare. Although she currently works as a general manager of a women's clothing store, Ms. Talebreza is working hard to launch her new business, Forte Consuelo International, LLC (Forte Consuelo). Set to open this summer, Forte Consuelo will be the first evening childcare facility in the Santa Fe, New Mexico, area, offering local parents an alternative to in-home evening care.
A loan from Century Bank, which was funded by an Economic Development Program (EDP) advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas), helped with the purchase of the building. An accompanying $9,960 Economic Development Program Plus (EDPPlus) grant assisted with start-up costs, including insurance, furniture, toys and marketing. The grant was awarded during a ceremonial check presentation yesterday with representatives from the offices of U.S. Representative Ben Lujan, D-N.M., and Senator Tom Udall, D-N.M., in attendance.
Noncompetitive EDPPlus grants are awarded in conjunction with EDP advances through FHLB Dallas members, like Century Bank. The grants are available on a first-come, first-served basis to promote and enhance small business development and job creation.
Ms. Talebreza said her experience working with Century Bank through the application process was "a cut above the rest."
"One day I walked into Century Bank and was referred to David Valdez," explained Ms. Talebreza. "He was all 'yeses' and helped me every step of the way. This process would have been impossible without Mr. Valdez's help."
Mr. Valdez, Century Bank's vice president of Small Business and Commercial Lending, said the EDP advance and EDPPlus grant programs are not only a great way to stimulate the local economy, but also helpful for their customers to access funds and manage interest rate risk.
"Ms. Talebreza's determination and passion for her business was contagious, so it was a pleasure to work with her through the process," said Mr. Valdez. "Helping small businesses get off the ground is one of the many reasons Century Bank is proud to offer the EDPPlus grant."
In 2016, FHLB Dallas awarded $1 million in EDPPlus grants in conjunction with EDP advances to 48 businesses in FHLB Dallas' five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. FHLB Dallas has made available $750,000 in EDPPlus grants through its members this year.
Gustavo Molina, SVP and chief banking operations officer at FHLB Dallas, said the EDP advance and grant programs support economic development activities, which boost the local economy.
"The signature EDPPlus feature of the EDP advance program helps our members make a difference in their communities," he said. "We are proud to partner with Century Bank to help provide important services to the community and help boost the local economy."
Ms. Talebreza said that the EDPPlus grant helped instill a sense of pride in her knowing that she is contributing to the Santa Fe community.
"I have this great sense of pride knowing I'm contributing to Santa Fe, my home, my community," she said.

BREAKING!! China Finally Finds Cure For Coronavirus
A cure has been found for coronavirus, says the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. Zhou Pingjian.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Monday, Pingjian claimed that Chinese scientists were working to develop a vaccine for the virus.
According to him:
“All things considered, the epidemic can be contained, controlled and treated. The Chinese nation has gone through great winds and waves and overcome countless difficulties. The 1000 bed makeshift hospital in Wuhan, which was built in 9 days and is in full operation today, speaks volumes”
The ambassador, further claimed that 475 people had been discharged from the hospital after recovery from the virus, said a total of 361 people had died from the disease.
He also said as of yesterday, the number of confirmed cases of the virus infection climbed to 17,205; while about 21,558 individuals were also suspected of being infected with the virus in the Chinese mainland.Coronavirus

MAPLE RIDGE (NEWS 1130) — A homeless camp in Maple Ridge has been evacuated and cleared out after three fires this week, but not for long.
People living at Anita Place tent city will be allowed to move back in after the area is cleaned up, according to Pivot Legal Society. The City of Maple Ridge was previously granted a court injunction to allow them to remove accelerants and address fire safety risks.
WATCH: Maple Ridge homeless camp evacuated
Camp supporter Chris Bossley says the shelter being offered to camp residents is temporary, and moving back into a shelter would be seen as a step back for many people who have made the camp their home.
“This is temporary. Their homes are at Anita Place Tent City,” she says. “Whether it’s a tent, whether its a structure they’ve built: that is their home, that is where all their belongings are, that is where they live, and that is where they will be returning.”
She says most, if not all of their belongings are still there.
It’s not clear when they will be allowed to return.
Fifteen people visited an emergency reception centre set up for evacuees on Saturday. That reception centre will be open until Monday when the Salvation Army is expected to take over with social support services.

Flotation is widely used to concentrate copper, lead, and zinc minerals, which commonly accompany one another in their ores. Many complex ore mixtures formerly of little value have become major sources of certain metals by means of the flotation process. This article was most recently revised and updated by Chelsey Parrott-Sheffer, Research Editor.
Flotation follows ordinary standard methods, modified as may be necessary to bring up the precious metals in the concentrates where they will be of most value. Thus, in a lead-zinc ore, silver is more valuable in the lead than in the zinc concentrate.

Seniors' dance class is such a hit it is rolled out to Norway
Kerry Devine is the principal and founder at Dance Steps ballet school in Bradley Lane, which has been a rip roaring success locally with its Silver Swans programme aimed at the 55-plus age group.
But her fame is spreading, and now she has just returned from a mission to Scandinavia on behalf of the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) to spread the gospel about its fitness and mental health benefits.
Kerry was one of Britain's very first Silver Swans tutors, which she launched here in 2018. The classes cover ballet moves, but they are adapted to suit the different abilities of the people there.
And she now also teaches, under the RAD umbrella, other licensed tutors to teach the programme "safely and professionally."
She was invited to Oslo by RAD Scandinavia manager Karen Lund, and will be off to Edinburgh in February expanding Silver Swans north of the border.
The course was delivered in the wonderful surroundings of Norway's National Opera House in Oslo.
Kerry said: "I'm a tutor for the Royal Academy of Dance and one of the original people that started the Silver Swans programme in 2018.
"It's really taken off in the UK and I was invited to Norway to launch the programme for the whole of Scandinavia.
"I have my own dance school in Standish where I run the Silver Swans class. I teach the course to ballet teachers so they can gain their licence and qualifications to go out and teach the course. It's very different to teach an older learner than it is a child. I've also taught a lot of people with dementia and Parkinson's disease. It's a health benefit as well as being a fun social class."

a combination of costume and stage design I did for To Athena’s debut album release concert in October of 2020 Neubad Luzern, a former swimming pool turned bar & event space, with a stage at the deepest point of the pool – a fitting venue for a record called “Aquatic Ballet”.
The idea: a dress that covers the stage & band gets pulled upwards and off the protagonist during the intro song, as the viewer dives into the inner world of To Athena, like you’re being pulled under the surface. The dress then becomes a projector screen for the visuals that accompany the music.

How to Care for Yellow Elder Plant
The yellow elder is a popular shrub or tree grown for its outstanding flower performance. The plant produces brilliant yellow blossoms virtually nonstop from spring to fall. The flowers are trumpet-shaped in appearance and grow in large clusters. Each flower produces a stringlike pod of seeds. The plant is considered an evergreen in tropical or subtropical climates with lacy green foliage. If a heavy frost kills the tree or shrub off it will quickly regrow providing the freeze is not ongoing. Yellow elder suffers from no known pests and is exceptionally drought tolerant. In areas of extreme winter cold yellow elder is grown as an annual plant.
Plant yellow elder in an area that offers full sunlight. The plant is exceptionally tolerant of virtually any soil. It can thrive in sand or lime rock. However, the soil must be well-drained because the plant does not tolerate wet roots for any extended period of time.
Sow seeds in the spring directly into the soil. Plant seeds 1/2-inch deep in the soil and water regularly. Space yellow elder seeds several feet apart to allow enough room for ample growth. Seedlings can also be successfully transplanted to new areas with ease. Seedlings will successfully begin to bloom when the plants are approximately two years old. Plants can be grown in containers on a patio or porch. Yellow elder can also be fashioned into an espalier.
Mulch around yellow elder to help keep weed growth back and aid soil in retaining moisture. Use peat moss, bark chips, recycled plastic mulch or pine needles.
Water the yellow elder during times of drought. In tropical and most subtropical regions the plant can successfuly be grown only on annual rainfall with no supplemental watering.
Fertilize the yellow elder in March and June using a general 12-12-12 all-purpose plant fertilizing. Apply according to instructions on the label.
Prune the yellow elder in March to maintain size. If the tree is grown as a single trunk tree continue to remove free growing branches that might sprout from the trunk or the base of the plant. Simply clip back at the base or trunk. To maintain height, clip the tips of the branches to the desired height. Remove any dead wood.
Yellow elder is the official plant of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Yellow elder is a popular herbal medicinal plant and is commonly used to treat diabetes and digestive problems. The plant is adored by cats who often have a reaction to the leaves that is similar to catnip. It stimulates the cats olfactory senses. Yellow elder suffers from no major diseases.

Russia did not want Afghanistan, considering their initial mr.bet online failure to take Khiva and the British debacle in the First Anglo-Afghan War. In order to invade Afghanistan they would first require a forward base in Khorasan, Persia. St. Petersburg had decided by then that a forward policy in the region had failed but one of non-intervention appeared to work. He intended to improve the road from Kashmir through the princely states of Hunza and Nagar and up to the frontier with Russia.

I understand they are working on getting their full version into the Quest store as well. If someone who doesn’t like doing puzzles loves this so much, puzzle people should love it! Standing in the middle of floating 3D puzzle pieces with the ability to “magically” point at a piece and “summon” it to you as well as “push” it back is so cool. Also, having multiple views of the completed piece adds a whole new dimension to this game. It’s actually a really great game to play first, but still fun to come back to. You can get a feel for how you can hold, move, pick up, throw objects.
The bosses are challenging and hilarious, and what sets this over the top for me is the ability to play at all in co-op just like the old arcade games. The physics model they’ve designed makes it feel like the ball is rolling on a real green. So even though this looks like an arcade golf game, it plays quite realistically.

More than 17,800 people cast their ballots on the first day of early voting in Clark County, according to initial figures released Saturday afternoon.
The number, which is as of 3 p.m. and was expected to grow as early voting centers closed at 7 p.m., is smaller than day one totals from previous elections. In 2018, more than 30,000 people cast ballots on the first day of early voting. The number was a little more than 39,000 in 2016.
But this could be due to an already record-setting turnout in statewide mail ballots, as more than 132,000 Nevadans had placed their ballots in the mailbox as of Friday. Some 67,000 of those ballots came from Clark County.
Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, every active voter in the state received a mail ballot, and officials have encouraged voters to use absentee methods to avoid any exposure risks during in-person voting.
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria said the initial rush of people is typical of early voting periods and was expected this year, as many voters are excited, have thought about this election for a long time and want to get it over with.
He cautioned that long lines are to be expected on the first and last days of early voting, and they are not necessarily indicative of any problems at that particular center. Same-day registration, coupled with the longest ballot in Clark County’s history, can make the voting process a little longer than past years.
Early voting runs Saturday through Thursday until Oct. 30 at more than 30 locations throughout Clark County.

WHAT BOOK would writer Anne Atkins take to a desert island?
WHAT BOOK would writer and broadcaster Anne Atkins take to a desert island?
- Anne Atkins revealed that she’s recently begun reading Julie Cohen’s Together
- She says a series of books on historical figures gave her the reading bug
- She would take the complete works of Shakespeare to a desert island
. . . are you reading now?
I’ve just started Julie Cohen’s Together. A generous reader of my blog Bink Bonkers, about my daughter’s illness, said I clearly needed a break and offered to fund it (wow!), and while researching writers’ retreats I came across Cohen’s work. It’s cleverly constructed, and affectionate about older love. Also, every evening I read Iliad IV alternated with Oedipus Tyrannus with my 101-year-old classicist father. This keeps my brain exercised, though I do find the Greek challenging . . .
. . . would you take to a desert island?
Sorry to be predictable, but it has to be the complete works of Shakespeare . . . with, rather shamefully, my Bible as second choice. So many stories; such characters to populate my island. Comedy. Poetry. History. Language to die for — and commit to memory. And as soon as I reach the end I can start all over again. I wouldn’t need rescuing for years.
Anne Atkins (pictured) revealed that she’s currently reading Julie Cohen’s Together. She also shared the books she would take to a desert island

Share this article
. . . first gave you the reading bug?
As A young child I loved my mother’s constant stream of choices for me from the library, for instance the series of books about famous figures through history, The Young Louis Braille, The Young Marie Curie, John Bunyan, etc. But what bowled me over was King Lear which I read at 16. It changed me forever . . . and every fresh performance I see still hurts almost unbearably. It must be the most exquisite poetry ever written, in any language . . . except, perhaps, Oedipus.
. . . left you cold?
Wolf Hall. Sorry, but there it is. My husband always buys me the latest hardbacks for Christmas, and this is the only dud he’s ever given me. I found the characters wooden, two-dimensional and almost utterly unengaging — though I adore C.J. Sansom’s Tudor novels. Also, I’ve attempted the Harry Potter series half a dozen times, and always lose the will to live on about page 5. Nor will I now read anything containing rape or mutilation: life is tough enough. (So why do I still go to Lear? The latest, a live-streaming of Ian McKellen’s, left me poleaxed for about a week. But genius is genius . . .)
Anne Atkins’ first novel for 20 years, An Elegant Solution, is published by Malcolm Down Publishing at £19.99.

The Language of Music
There will not be too many individuals who don’t have any music in their hearts. In the centuries past musicians played a key function within the leisure of Royalty and their court. This still holds true with a big difference. Right now, the general public, younger and old, listen to a wide variety of music in numerous ways that our modern society offers.
Great works of music live on lengthy after their composers die. Think of Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and plenty of more. Quick forward to trendy times. There are various classical compositions transposed into standard tunes. Think of Chopin’s Nocturne Op.9 No.2, more popularly heard as To Love Again, a well-liked rendition performed on the piano on the Eddie Duchin Story. Beethoven’s Fifth was popularized with a unique tempo. A few of these timeless pieces are used at the moment as background music of movies. It’s commendable that among the many youthful generation, there are those that still find pleasure in listening to classical music.
Musicians right this moment are revolutionary- they’ll change the tempo to whatever pleases their ears. It permits them to express themselves in no matter way that suits them, in whatever form of artistry they adopt. Surprisingly, even the weirdest performer can attract quite a following. There is a musical style that seem to charm every style, temperament or generation of our current times. This proves that there’s something enchanting about music.
Gifted musicians grow to be worldwide celebrities, propelled to fame and fortune. Sadly, the great musicians of the long gone era were not as lucky. Mozart did not fare too well financially. He was not alone. In the event that they lived in the present day with their expertise and reward, they would be among the millionaire celebrities. However, these nice musicians are immortalized, thanks to their music- a long-lasting legacy to man.
Music has stirred man’s soul way, way back, to the biblical times. Listening to somebody play the piano at a social gathering was the highlight of the occasion in years gone by. Then got here sing- along. Right now, some choose to listen to their favourite music with whatever toy they have.
In trendy times, there are musical expertise shows, a preferred software to deliver out proficient individuals from obscurity. Susan Boyle is a good example. At present’s society does not lack in expertise on this planet of music- from composers, tune-writers and arrangers, to singers, anywhere within the world.
Some listen to music while they examine or while they drive. With the advent of technology, the iPod is part of the personal paraphernalia. Others take the iPod to bed. Music is a part of our on a regular basis activities.
A solemn event like a funeral service has its own appropriate music. So does a wedding, and virtually any occasion. What would Christmas be like without carols filling up the airwaves, making a jovial mood, stirring the spirit of the vacations? Some have their favourite song to exercise to. A relaxing and soft background music enhances an atmosphere of serenity, the place some seek inside peace from a chaotic world. After an extended day, some want to turn on their favourite music as they try to unwind.
Music creates an aura of peace and intimacy with candle-lit dinners. A room that echoes the sound of interesting music is inviting. Indeed, it is enjoyable to listen to at least one’s favourite songs

Australia presses for more Bushmaster vehicles
The Australian Minister for Defence, Stephen Smith, and Minister for Defence Materiel, Jason Clare, have announced that the Federal Government will spend more than $15.5 million to manufacture components of the next tranche of Bushmaster vehicles from Thales Australia’s Bendigo factory.
The Australian government announced in December 2011 that it would explore the purchase of additional Bushmaster vehicles in order to retain critical manufacturing and skills capabilities at the Thales Australia Bendigo factory. The retention of these capabilities are significant to Australia’s national security industry.
This latest announcement is the next step in the process to acquire additional Bushmasters. Full approval of the plan will be dependant on Thales demonstrating an efficient, effective and innovative programme to maintain core protected vehicle manufacturing skills at Bendigo and in successfully meeting technical performance, cost and schedule commitments in the development of the new Hawkei vehicle. Subject to successful testing of the vehicles, final Government approval of the Hawkei is expected in 2015, and production work could potentially commence in Australia as early as 2016.
The $15.5 million is for components of the Bushmaster which have long lead times for manufacturing, including steel and hull components; axle and suspension systems; fire suppression systems; wheel rims; radiators; gun rings; drive shafts; seats; insulation; hydraulic system components; as well as engines and ancillaries.
This announcement is in addition to the purchase of an additional 101 Bushmasters to support Australian Defence Force (ADF) operations in Afghanistan which was announced by the Government in May 2011. Further announcements about the purchase of more Bushmasters will be made in the coming months.

UVA's Postseason History Runs Deep With Charlottesville Regional Participants
By Matt Newton,2023-05-31
Virginia was selected to host the Charlottesville Regional at the NCAA Baseball Tournament for the first time since 2016, giving the Cavaliers a crucial home-field advantage given their impressive 32-4 home record this season. With that said, UVA's draw of opponents in the regional round did the Hoos no favors, as each of the other baseball programs participating in the Charlottesville Regional have played multiple NCAA Tournament games at Disharoon Park.
Army, Oklahoma, and East Carolina have played a combined nine NCAA Tournament games against Virginia and the Cavaliers are a combined 4-5 against those three teams historically in postseason play.
Virginia's first opponent in this year's Charlottesville Regional is Army, a team who has played at UVA in the NCAA Tournament twice before. This will be the third time that the Cavaliers and Black Knights are squaring off in the opening game of the Charlottesville Regional. UVA and Army played each other in back-to-back NCAA Tournaments in 2012 and 2013, with the Cavaliers prevailing 9-1 in 2012 and 2-1 in 2013. Virginia went on to win the 2013 Charlottesville Regional, but the Hoos did not do the same in 2012, as Oklahoma, another team participating in UVA's regional this season, came out on top of the Charlottesville Regional in 2012.
Oklahoma and Virginia have faced each other four times in the postseason, with the Sooners winning three of those matchups. In the 2010 NCAA Tournament, UVA and Oklahoma met in the Super Regional round in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers claimed the first game 3-2, but the Sooners came back to win the second game 10-7 and the decisive third game 11-0 to advance to the College World Series. Two years later, Oklahoma ended Virginia's season again by defeating UVA 5-4 to win the 2012 Charlottesville Regional.
And then there's East Carolina, a team that has faced Virginia three times in the NCAA Tournament and twice in Charlottesville. In 2011, UVA defeated ECU 13-1 to clinch the Charlottesville Regional. In the 2016 NCAA Tournament, East Carolina earned an 8-6 win over Virginia, who was then eliminated by William & Mary and the Pirates went on to win the regional. Last season, the Cavaliers and Pirates met again, this time in the 2022 Greenville Regional hosted by East Carolina with Virginia as the No. 2 seed. Both teams won their first games and then ECU beat UVA 4-2. Virginia then lost to Coastal Carolina in an elimination game and East Carolina went on to advance to the Super Regional.
"All three of the teams have played here in tournament play and so, we remember all of those. Certainly Army has played well here. In 2016, East Carolina won it here. And then, Oklahoma has had success in this ballpark as well and that speaks to the level of those programs, first and foremost," said UVA head coach Brian O'Connor on Monday. "Not only have we been in this situation a lot, they have as well. So, their coaches are experienced and understand what it takes to win at this time of the year. We have a tremendous challenge in front of us, but a great opportunity, and one that we're excited about and looking forward to."
While all three of Virginia's opponents have historical experience playing NCAA Tournament games at Disharoon Park, and East Carolina and Oklahoma have success winning regionals in Charlottesville, this is a new season with different players and UVA's dominant track record at home (32-4) and against non-conference opponents (25-0) this season should give the Cavaliers plenty of confidence as they will have home-field advantage in every game on their quest to return to the College World Series.
Virginia will open the 2023 NCAA Baseball Tournament against Army on Friday at 12pm at Disharoon Park and streamed on ESPN+. The winner of that game will face the winner of East Carolina vs. Oklahoma (Friday at 7pm) on Saturday. Virginia, Army, East Carolina, and Oklahoma will play a double-elimination round-robin tournament until three of the four teams have suffered two losses and one remaining team is crowned as the Charlottesville Regional champ and advances to the Super Regional round.

The Edinburgh side, tournament winners five years ago, are massive favourites to get through the tie which has been moved to Sunday, with a 12.15pm kick-off, to avoid a clash with the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral and will be beamed live on BBC One.
With Hibs’ third round match at Queen of the South being played after the fourth round draw was made, Farrell was able to undertake a spying mission on his opponents – and is fully aware of threat they pose.
He said: “You can see why they are sitting at the top end of the Premier League. They're an excellent side, their movement was good and they were well on top so we know it's going to be a difficult tie.
"But we've just got to go and make it as difficult as we can at Stair Park, try and impose our own game as much as we possibly can but at the same time be mindful that we are playing a very, very good side."
Stair Park would normally be packed for a match like, but not so in these pandemic-dominated time. That’s something Farrell regrets.
He said: “It's a shame for both sets of fans. The Hibs fans will look at these cup ties as a great day out, a journey they don't often make, and the Stranraer fans miss out on the occasion of having a Premier League club coming to their home ground."
One player especially keen to make an impact will be Matty Yates who had a spell at Hibs last season after leaving Rangers.
The teenager has impressed since joining Stranraer earlier this season and is a player for whom Farrell has high hopes.
He said: "The kid's got a real chance, I've said that from day one.
"We've signed him on an 18-month deal so he's got the rest of this season and next season and he's developing and learning all the time.
"There were high hopes for him in the Development Leagues with Hibs and Rangers, but there's a big difference playing in League 2 against the teams he's playing against week in, week out now.
"He's had to be patient and bide his time coming off the bench and making an impact.
"We need to be careful with him. He's a very young lad and we don't want to give him too much too soon.
" But he's certainly going to be a big player for us between now and the end of the season.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Actor Mel Gibson and his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Gigorieva, have reached a settlement of their bitterly fought separation.
RELATED: Celeb Outlaws
Los Angeles Superior Court officials said in a statement late Friday that the resolution came at the end of a multi-day settlement conference. Terms and conditions of the settlement were not announced and the court said that a hearing is set for Wednesday.
It said the civil financial agreement would be heard in open court but one of the most contentious issues, custody of the couple's small daughter, will be discussed in closed session.
RELATED: Shocking Celebrity Splits
The agreement appeared to conclude a legal saga which burst into headlines last year when Gigorieva, a Russian musician, reported Gibson had hit her during a fight at his Malibu home in January 2010.

The House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution Friday that expresses the sense of Congress that active duty military living or stationed in the District of Columbia should have the right to carry a gun. The measure sponsored by Rep. Phil Gingrey, Georgia Republican, was passed by voice vote as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which authorizes the Pentagon’s budget for 2014.
NBC's David Gregory has gotten away for nearly a month with violating Washington's firearms law on national television. The Metropolitan Police Department concluded its official investigation into the "Meet the Press" host's display of a prohibited 30-round rifle magazine on the live program, passing the buck to the District's Office of the Attorney General (OAG).
It's been more than a week since police in Washington, D.C., opened an investigation into possession by NBC's David Gregory on national TV of a "high-capacity magazine" that's prohibited in the District.
Under pressure from Congress and the public, D.C. officials are moving to ease one of the least defensible of their anti-gun ordinances.

The city's anti-firearm ordinances are so convoluted and beyond the norm that average Americans can find themselves in big trouble for doing something that is entirely legal in almost every state.

Sustainability And Economy Behind Plant Renovations
Companies don’t just renovate their plants for safety reasons anymore. Sustainability and energy efficiency are increasingly becoming the reasons for major operation overhauls, foodprocessing.com reports.
Another major incentive is that smaller companies are part of larger companies’ supply chains and can’t play with the big boys if they can’t show their own corporate social responsibility.
Aside from trimming down operation costs by adding hybrids to fleets and changing light bulbs, national programs like LEED, Energy Star and government programs like the DOE’s Save Energy Now program are playing increasingly important roles in encouraging companies to revamp their ops.
Results from a survey conducted last year found reduced energy use the No.1 goal for companies with sustainability initiatives.
Sixty-four percent of food and beverage companies had some sustainability goals in place. Sixty-four percent of companies with more than 10,000 employees have sustainability goals. On the other hand, only 40 percent of private companies and 28 percent of food companies with fewer than 100 employees, have sustainability goals.

2nd High Level Market Dialogue - 2012
"Boosting the Export of Indonesian Verified Legal Timber Products to Europe-USA-Japan and China
JW Marriott Hotel, Jakarta - Indonesia
March 20th 2012
Organized by GPEI in collaboration with PT. Mutu Hijau Indonesia
Nearly 200 delegates from across the globe assembled in Jakarta for a two day conference on 20th and 21st March. The conference aim was to help boost the awareness of Indonesia’s Timber Legality Verification System (SVLK)established by the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry in June 2009, otherwise referred to as Timber Legality Assurance System (TLAS), in discerning international markets, as an effort to increase the exports of Indonesian Verified Legal Timber Products. An impressive line up of speakers addressed participants, including Indonesian Ministers, Indonesian and international business leaders and representatives from four continents – North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. These included Ambassadors from the EU, an official from the Australian government, the President of the European Timber Trade Federation and experts in the field of solid wood and paper as well as consultants, ENGOs, institutions, corporations and other stakeholders.
Background: With less than a year before new European Union Timber Regulations (EUTR) comes into effect and will prohibit the placing of illegal timber products in the EU, efforts are being stepped up to boost the preparedness of Indonesian producers of SLVK timber products and their ability to access the EU market. With support from the EU, the Indonesian Exporters Association in collaborating with PT. Mutu Hijau Indonesiahosted this event with the aim of boosting the exports of Indonesian Verified Legal timber products to Europe and also to other countries. The EU imports annually US$ 1.2 billion in timber and paper products from Indonesia,or 15% of the nation’s exports. In March 2013, compliance with the new EUTR will be required. In line with the request of the Government Indonesia to consumers around the world not to buy illegal products, this regulation will prohibit the trade of illegal timber products into the EU. It will also require EU operators to exercise Due Diligence (DD) to minimise the risk of placing illegal timber products onto the EU market. This regulation will complement efforts from countries like Indonesia to tackle illegal logging on the production side. It could also facilitate Indonesia's access to additional markets in the EU. In May 2011, Forestry Minister Zulkfli Hasan and EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht signed a declaration on the conclusion of a deal on legal timber trade, the Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA). The new EUTR recognises that products from VPA countries will automatically be considered legal, making compliance by EU buyers easier.
The Keynote Presentations were opened under the chairmanship Dr. Boen Poernama, Senior Advisor To The Indonesian Minister of Forestry.
Dr Ken McDicken of FAO was who provided an overview of the global forest resource over 4 billion ha, representing 31% of global land. While the same area of forest resource still stands as in 1948, this figure masks regional differences such as a decline of forest resources in the tropics which offsets gains in the Northern Hemisphere. He pointed out that Indonesia’s forest area of 50 million ha of forest was larger than the other four VPA countries (all in Africa) combined. He reviewed the capacity of each county to produce legal timber and manage carbon stocks based on the results of FAO General Forest Resource Assessment (GFRA). “In the capacity to meet legality standards,” he said“Indonesia leads with SVLK.” He concluded that if SVLK meets future importer standards and the forest area follows, then Indonesia is well placed to lead.
Dr. Ken McDicken, FAO
Kerstin Canby, of Forest Trends in the USA, pointed out that in 2009 only 0.8% of the world’s certified forests are in Asia – compared to 56% in USA and 26% in Europe. Indonesia sends 41% by value of its forest products to the environmentally sensitive markets in Europe, North America, Japan and Australia. In each of these markets, new policies or legislative requirements such as the EUTR or the amended Lacey Act, are driving the market in verified legal or certified sustainable timber and paper products. She went on to suggest that systems which demonstrate a ’robust’ system of Due Diligence, such as certification or SLVK, should help assure importers and retailers in these markets that they are meeting the due diligence / due care requirements of the EU TR and Lacey Act in USA, but she noted that even this is not a guarantee.

John Talbot from the Australian Dept of Ag, Fish & Forestry gave a thorough description of the new Australian Law on Forestry aimed at eliminating illegal wood. The Bill still needs to go through Parliament and receive the official Royal Assent. Once passed, it will place requirements on importers and domestic raw material suppliers to undertake Due Diligence to determine the legality of a list of regulated products. Six countries had given inputs to the Australian government during a consultation process.
Clive Suckling of PWC UK covered the prospects and opportunities for Indonesian paper and gave supporting statistics from which he then suggested that “Indonesia can be very competitive in the global market.”
The following Q&A Session covered issues referring to whether certification should offer Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) or legality assurances; if legal verification is sufficient and whether the Australian government will accept imports of Indonesian furniture. Mr Suckling pointed out that the EU perception is that the Indonesian bar has been set low whereas in fact the issue of perception goes beyond certification and laws in Indonesia. Mr Talbot said that Australia is not accrediting any system but is just requiring importers to undertake Due Diligence. “If the SVLK is used by an importer for Due Diligence, then so be it” he said.
A Panel Session followed with the HE Ambassador Julian Wilson, Head of Delegation of the EU to Indonesia, Dr Agus Sarsito, Director of International Cooperation, Ministry of Forestry, James Carouso US Counselor for Economic Affairs and Vice Minister Shimokawa of Japan, who all made short addresses. This panel session is chaired by Dr. Frances Seymor (DG of CIFOR).
Ambassador Wilson said that the “impact on Indonesia depends on whether SVLK is perceived as credible by EU buyers” - a theme repeated throughout the rest of the day’s discussions.
Mr Carouso wanted Indonesia to use its natural resources in a sustainable way and affirmed that the USA would continue to assist financially in its efforts.
Mr Shimokawa discussed the progress Japan has made in implementing verification policies.
Dr Agus Sarsito talked about the challenges and opportunities of SVLK and suggested that FSC is not the only game in town and also expressed his concern about the cost of certification for SMEs. He also pointed out that more and more wood in Indonesia comes from plantation forest – which now accounts for 79.46% of Indonesia’s forest area. But most important of all, he suggested, was that “we need partner countries to promote our SVLK. Then together we can meet the challenge.”
In the Q&A Session a delegate from IKEA, which sources in 51 countries and retails in 25 countries with 60% of its products in wood, called for a unified certification system. A representative from WWF asked when the VPA, now agreed by EU and Indonesia, will actually be signed - which drew diplomatic but non-committal answers from both sides.
After a Networking Lunch, delegates heard from Rachel Butler and Mr Andreas von Moeller, President of the European Timber Trade Federation (ETTF), who talked of the decline in imports of Indonesian and other tropical timber products into the EU. “Buyers there are confused” he said and suggested that the consumer pressure in EU is for certified rather than legal wood. “Buying wood should not be controversial, but clean and easy,” he concluded. Ms Butler had earlier said that certification is likely to be viewed by trade as good evidence of Due Diligence but at present the EUTR does not automatically accept certified timber products as exempt/zero risk under the EUTR but as yet the implementing regulation and guidance is not published.
Mr.Wu Shengfu of the Chinese Forestry Products Industry Association discussed how to export legal timber products to China, for re-export to EU, USA and Japan; but added that time is needed to refine procedures.
Rupert Oliver of Forest Industries Intelligence gave a comprehensive review of the American hardwood industries’ approach to its resource challenges through risk assessment. For years, he said, the US hardwood industry, which is the largest hardwood lumber producer in the world, had addressed the needs of verification for 3.7 million small forest owners, with 220,000 owners harvesting annually. The US industry commissioned an independent risk assessment of illegal logging (Seneca Creek Study, 2008) that had shown less than 1% risk of illegal logs entering the supply chain. He concluded that the US could offer many lessons learned and that it was all about “getting incentives right”. Finally Christian Mengel from IWPA in USA spoke of the many changes in the wood industry and called for mutual recognition of certifications schemes as now essential.
Questions and Dialogue subsequently focused on business ethics with regard to China; the quality of Indonesian wood furniture compared to that in Malaysia; and the cost of verification. During this period it was confirmed that the SVLK (and EUTR) cover furniture.
An Awarding Ceremony of Timber Legality Verification,
Afther the report of Dipl Ing Benny Soestrino, Chairman of the Indonesian Exporters Association (GPEI) which had organised the event in collaboration with PT Mutu Hijau Indonesia, than followed by awarding the Timber Legality Verification from PT Mutu Hijau Indonesia to Kelompok Tani Sejahtera, PT. Inhutani I Unit Gresik, PT. Inhutani I Unit Juata, PT. Abhirama Kresna and FMU Enggal Mulyo and an evocation of commitment (petition) to two Ministers present.
Awarding MHI timber legality certificates by Minister of Trade and Minister of Industry
Both Ministers responded:
Ir M.S. Hidayat, Minister of Industry, stated that wood production accounted for 5.5% of the national non-oil and gas economy and that the trade had suffered from the effects of illegal logging. He re-stated much of what had been discussed during the day and asserted that this market had greater expectations and hoped that “we will continue in a sustainable way”.
Dr Gita Wirjawan, Minister of Trade, pointed out that Indonesia’s export trade in 2011 at $2,003 billion had doubled in 5 years. The nation’s 2011 level of exports was due to trade with China and India which had enjoyed double digit growth. “The SVLK, done by the Ministry of Forestry was a noble effort” he said “and was in line with the government’s policy towards added value and industrialisation.” He concluded that Indonesia is still at an early stage of industrialisation and therefore he was sensitive to the fact that implementation of SVLK would take time for Indonesia to be verifiable.
The Final Panel Session of the day was opened with an informative presentation by Ms Aida Greenbury, MD of Asia Paper & Pulp on the trade by both Indonesia and her company which had participated in a pilot project of SVLK from the very start. But she warned that there were still challenges ahead for the scheme. Clive Sucking said that SVLK is at the beginning of a journey and that raising awareness will be important; that lack of knowledge needs to change. “Indonesia needs to communicate SVLK as a rather high bar” he concluded. Andreas von Moeller, in giving a European view warned that “all of us are a little bit afraid of EUTR” and added that bureaucracy is the biggest enemy of free trade. A representative from the furniture association ASMINDO, in the absence of its President Mr Ambar Tjahyono, affirmed that his 2,780 member association would support SVLK. He concluded that the four main challenges, especially for SMEs, are: getting official, regional and national permission; a wood tracking system; the cost of certification and securing international acceptance of the scheme. Anders Hildeman of IKEA said that the companies’ customers rated sustainability at the top of their list of expectations and called for harmonisation in the field of voluntary certification. “SVLK will help IKEA and Indonesia in working at the often complex supply chains”, he stated.
Michael Buckley, wood industry consultant and raporteur for the day, made a few closing remarks with regard to the constant themes that had threaded through the dialogue relating to the lead that Indonesia has taken, the challenges facing SVLK and the importance of establishing and communicating credibility to the markets. The global market for furniture, that had averaged $100 billion in 2009 & 2010, presented Indonesia with huge opportunities he suggested, and agreed with the earlier statement by Clive Suckling that “Indonesia is well placed to move forward as a competitive industry internationally.”

I had a heated conversation of the “desert island” variety with a fellow student a few days ago. We weren’t discussing what scores and recordings we’d bring with us if we were stranded in the South Pacific. I had asked her to envision a situation in which a group of people—ten or fifteen, say—were marooned hundreds of miles from civilization, and she was the only musician among them. How would she justify her existence on the island to a dozen folks who might possess practical skills of the sort that she doesn’t have?
This is a difficult question for all musicians, but it’s particularly problematic for composers of new music. It’s one thing if Jimmy Page and his Les Paul wash up on the island, for instance, but what if they find Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf on the beach? The sunburned guy with the spear still wants to hear “Stairway.” Claus-Steffen is delicious. Many of us would be no better off.
This brings me to a point about curricula. I and many of my colleagues feel very strongly that the composition of challenging concert music is a matter of civic responsibility. My hypothetical desert island is an extreme example, admittedly, but I wonder if it isn’t also a matter of civic responsibility (or at least a matter of craft) that we familiarize ourselves with the vernacular music of our time. If we profess to be musicians, shouldn’t we be able to play “Hey Ya” (or, for the sad people on the island, “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out”)? It’s not like we don’t have the technique.
Why aren’t there required classes in popular music literacy? The obvious reason is that there’s a qualitative difference between art music and pop music, and academic composition programs tend to come down on the art music side (with good reason). However, is it acceptable that I could graduate with a doctorate in music and be completely unfamiliar with the music that all the non-musicians around me care about (even if it doesn’t seem worthwhile)? I don’t think so. My friends in biochemistry know everything about biochem that I know, and a lot more to boot. On the other hand, those biochemists are much more well-acquainted with certain types of music than I am, and even if I don’t give a damn about Tool and Econoline Crush, it looks bad.
To return to our earlier example, I’d rather hear Mahnkopf’s music than Page’s in a concert hall any day of the week, but I’m in a tiny minority. Back on the island, what do I do with the castaways who prefer Page? Maybe I’m way out of line here—if so, please call me out—but I just can’t help thinking that a little mandatory instruction in vernacular new music might pay off.

The Stradivarius is one of the most expensive helmets you can buy, so what do you get for £150?
Not a lot of weight for a start. Met claims “the world’s first bicycle helmet below 200 grams!” The medium tested was just over that, but not by much.
By using a new composite material called Ultima-Lite, Met has reduced the weight of the Stradivarius by 25 percent compared to previous models. Considering the low weight, the helmet feels extremely well made and tough. The in-moulded outer shell completely covers the helmet, even all the delicate underside edges. It’s also finished in a hardwearing rubber-like coating that sheds off the scrapes.
There’s not a lot to the helmet and what there is sits low on the head. Even the straps get the diet treatment, having been slimmed down using Kevlar thread. The Y-buckle and adjustment is really easy to use and the best on test.
Fit is tight for a medium and we can see people with big heads struggling to find their size. Vents are a bit smaller compared to race rivals but the helmet never felt stuffy. The Stradivarius is a true masterpiece and only gets marked down on price.
