Artjom Kim was born 1976 in Bekabad, near Tasjkent, in Uzbekistan. He started his musical education (playing the bajan) at the age of ten. In 1995 he took his first composition lessons with the famous Uzbek composer M. Tadjiev and later with Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky. In 2001 he received his Master s Degree at the Tashkent State Conservatory. During his studies he got involved with Ilkhom XX, the international contemporary music festival. Many of his compositions were premiered at this festival, while it also offered him an opportunity to start conducting: he conducted several first performances of music by young Uzbek composers, as well as Uzbek first performances of Requiem by Alfred Schnittke, Les Noces by Stravinsky and the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Artjom Kim regularly composes for film and theater. Over the past few years he was guest composer with the Nieuw Ensemble for which wrote four works: Stabilis/Mobilis, L'autre plaine, De Profundis and Rag Music for european and non-european instruments. In 2004 Kim has organized the Omnibus Ensemble in Tashkent, which has become the first chamber ensemble concentrated in modern music in Central Asia. Speaking about composing, Kim says: 'To me the most fascinating moment in music is when opposite processes in a composition collide, thus creating tension and energy. It is this energy that determines the development and form, and is my main motive for writing music'.

Jia Daqun was born in Shanghai in 1955. Following eight years of study as a painter at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Jia Daqun abandoned a career in the visual arts when his vision became impaired. Undeterred, he decided to devote his attention to composition—a passion he had been developing while in art school. As a professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and a respected composer of contemporary music, he has imported the principles of form, line and color from Chinese calligraphy and painting into his compositions and teachings. His compositions have been performed in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu (China), Tokyo, Sendai (Japan), Paris and New York. They have been performed by ensembles including The Central Philharmonic of China, The Choir Ensemble of the Central Philharmonic of China and the Chinese Instrumental Ensemble of the China Conservatory of Music. His works Rondo, for CL & Pro. (1984), The Dragon and Phoenix Totem for pipa [PEE paw] (Chinese plucked lute) and orchestra (1985) and Two Movements Symphony (1986) have won prizes in national composition competitions in China. String Quartet (1988) received the First Prize in the 12th Irino Foundation Prize for Chamber Music (1991) in Tokyo, Japan.

Faradj Karajev wurde im Jahre 1943 in Baku, Aserbaidschan geboren. Er studierte am Konservatorium seiner Geburtsstadt bei seinem Vater Kara Karajev, einem Schüler Schostakowitschs. In Faradj Karajevs Werk finden sich Einflüsse aserbaidschanischer Musik, beispielsweise durch die Verwendung traditioneller, an den Ausdruck eines spe-ziellen Gemütszustandes gebundener Modi. Auch Anlehnungen an Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart und Berg sind auszumachen. In Karajevs Musik werden ältere musikalische Traditionen organisch mit zeitgenössischen Techniken verbunden. Seine Serenade für Symphonieorchester Ich nahm Abschied von Mozart auf der Karlsbrücke in Prag stellt eine musikalische Ehrenbezeugung an Mozart dar und nimmt ein Fragment aus dessen Requiem auf. Mit A Crumb of music huldigt Karajev hingegen dem von ihm bewunderten amerikanischen Komponisten George Crumb. In einer Reihe von Kompositionen setzt er nicht-musikalische Klänge (zuschlagende Türen, Meeresrauschen) und Musik anderer Kulturen als wesentliche strukturelle Elemente ein. Seine in den letzten Jahren entstandenen Musikstücke bezeichnet Karajev selbst als Instrumentaltheater. Seine Werke werden eltweit bei Festivals und Konzerten aufgeführt. Karajev war 14 Jahre lang musikalischer Leiter des BaKaRa Ensembles. Seit 1999 lehrt er Komposition am Moskauer Tschaikowski Konservatorium. Für das Nieuw Ensemble komponierte Karajev im Jahre 1989 das Stück Klänge einer traurigen Nacht.

Theo Loevendie (geboren in Amsterdam am 17. September 1930) war mehr als fünfzehn Jahre professioneller Jazzmusiker. Bevor er sich gegen Ende der 60er Jahre mehr und mehr der Komposition Neuer Musik widmete, trat er bei allen wichtigen europäischen Jazzfestivals als Alt- und Sopransaxophonist, als Kombo- und Big Band Leader auf. Heute ist er einer der bemerkenswertesten Komponisten der Niederlande. Er bekam zahlreiche Auszeichnungen wie den Edison (1982), den Preis der italienischen Rundfunk-und Fernsehanstalt RAI , den American Koussevitzky International Record Award (1984), den er sich mit Pierre Boulez teilte, und den Matthijs Vermeulen Preis (1986). 1988 erhielt er als erster Komponist den begehrten 3M Music Award für sein Gesamt-werk und für seine großen Verdienste um die Musik. Als Gast oder Komponist nahm er an den wichtigsten Festivals für zeitgenössische Musik teil. Seit 1970 unterrichtet Loevendie Komposition, zur Zeit am Konservatorium in Amsterdam. Er komponierte vier Opern: Naima (1985), die Kammeroper Gassir, the Hero (1990), Esmée und die Kammeroper Johnny & Jones (2001). Zu seinen jüngsten Kompositionen zählen ein Klavierkonzert (1996) und ein Violinkonzert (1998). Loevendie ist viel eher der französischen und russischen modernen Klassik (Debussy, Ravel, Mussorgsky, Strawinsky) verbunden als der seriellen Musik. Von Anfang an entwickelte er einen unmittelbar erkennbaren, einzigartigen Stil, in dem die Neue Musik (helle ostinato Klangpassagen wie in The Nightingale) eine dynamische Synthese mit den Einflüssen des Jazz (Strides, 1976 und Laps, 1995), freier Improvisation (Bons, 1991), außereuropäischer Musik (Six Turkish Folkpoems, 1995) und Stilzitaten (z.B. in den Opern Naima, 1985 und Esmée) eingeht.

In a different world, we wouldn’t know where politicians stood on pregnancy termination.
Whenever the issue comes up in our parliament, I’m reminded of season 3 Veep episode called The Choice. If you haven’t yet watched Veep (in NZ it streams on Neon), you should. The show follows Selina Meyer, the maniacally ambitious (fictional) Vice President of the United States. In The Choice, aka The Abortion Episode, she and her team of bumbling yuppies try to land on the best, most inoffensive ‘abortion position’.
It takes a bold show to make abortion jokes work, but Veep, which aims its punchlines at useless legislators, nails it. Campaign Manager Dan draws foetuses of increasing size on a whiteboard and tells Meyer to “pick a number”. Someone else suggests starting with “As a woman”.
“No, no, no, I can’t identify as a woman! People can’t know that! Men hate that! And women who hate women hate that – which, I believe, is most women.”
Later in the episode, we gain her personal perspective: “Maybe I should just say, ‘Get the government out of my fucking snatch.’” And, “If men got pregnant you could get an abortion at the ATM. Let’s state the obvious.”
But she doesn’t state the obvious, appearing by the end of the episode on Good Morning America, rambling: “I believe that life is precious, and so are the hard-won freedoms that women through America enjoy today. As a woman myself, I know that freedom means the freedom…”
Cut to credits.
It’s fucking funny. But when it comes to abortion, such jokes shouldn’t be possible in the first place. There’s no reason abortion should be a political litmus test where there’s no right answer. It shouldn’t be a left-wing issue or a right-wing issue. It should be a health issue. It is a health issue.
The fact abortion was ever in the Crimes Act is a stain on this nation’s history (in my opinion, yadda yadda yadda).
A pregnancy termination is one of the most personal, private, and potentially painful situations a person can go through. To have that strange grief (or lack thereof) politicised by jack-offs wanting nothing more than to avoid alienating their voters, is an insult. To have that decision judged by other jack-offs, waving signs outside abortion clinics, is perhaps worse. Thankfully, that’s not so much of a phenomenon here, but I do sometimes catch the anti-choicers waving their cardboard on Dominion Road. I wish they’d occupy their time with a more useful activity – fostering a child, perhaps. Or promoting easy access to contraception for people of all ages and backgrounds.
New Zealand is a supposedly secular nation. We don’t mandate that people mark their foreheads on Ash Wednesday. It’s not a legal imperative that citizens get baptised. Why we invite religion (namely, western Christianity) into our government on these issues is beyond me. Interestingly, however, there’s no biblical precedent that abortion is sinful. Quite the opposite. Theologians have argued that the King James Bible, with its multiple depictions of what-could-be-considered-abortion, is actually fairly pro-choice. At the very least, it doesn’t prop up the argument that anti-abortion rhetoric is based on scripture.
Much like homosexuality, the bible doesn’t outright mention abortion much at all.
Politicians, beholden to their constituents, and even more so, to their campaign managers can’t state the obvious. But I can. So, in the words of Selina Meyer, fictional as she may be: get out of our fucking snatches. It’s truly none of your business.Support Villainesse

DEEP CREEK LAKE, Md. —
Harry Edward Kight, age 89, of Deep Creek Lake, MD and Severna Park, MD, passed away on April 15, 2014 in Severna Park after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Harry was born October 21, 1924 in Barnum, WV to Viola Derham Kight and Harry Edward Kight.
Harry graduated from Bruce High School, Westernport, MD in 1942, and served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II, a part of that time stationed in France. On his return, he attended Concord College, Athens, WV, playing clarinet with the Concord Commanders and earning a music degree. At Concord, Harry met Ruth Harvey of Greenville, WV. They married in 1950, and moved to White Sulphur Springs where Harry taught music and completed a Master’s Degree at Marshall University. They later moved to Boonsboro, MD where both began their teaching careers with Washington County Schools. Harry was the founding director of the Williamsport (MD) High School “Blue Band” and over the next 28 years built the program into a national powerhouse with award winning concert, marching and jazz ensembles, winning awards throughout the mid-Atlantic region as well as in Texas and Florida.
In 1964, the Kights built a cottage at Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County, MD. The lake proved a gathering place for family, friends and grandchildren for five decades. In 1994, Harry and Ruth retired to a permanent residence on Beckman’s Peninsula, Deep Creek Lake, continuing to spend winter months in Venice, FL.
Upon retirement, Harry returned to his first love in music – playing clarinet for a live audience, and over the next 30 years, Harry performed live over 100 times in Hagerstown, Venice, Florida, and in and around Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County. Harry recorded and released two CDs, “The Lake House Sessions” in 2009 and “Marker 87” in 2011. He performed as a soloist, with his group - the “Jazz All Stars”, with the Garrett County Concert Band and Autumn Glory Oktoberfest Band, and as a guest with a number of jazz, Dixieland, and Broadway style groups. In June of last year, he was a featured performer with his latest group, “The New Jazz All Stars”, as part of the Garrett Lakes Art Festival summer concert series.
Harry is survived by his wife of 63 years, Helen Ruth Harvey Kight, and their three children, Kellan (Randy) Sarles of Princeton, WV, Sally (Richard) Gallena of Severna Park, MD, and Harry Edward Kight III and Mary Applegate of Arnold, MD. “Gramps” was enormously proud of his five grandchildren Ben Sarles (fiancee Jackie Nelson) of Princeton, Andy (Kelsey) Sarles of Knoxville, TN, Richard Gallena of Arlington, VA, Evan Gallena of Hanover, MD, and Rachel Gallena of Severna Park. He also leaves to cherish his memory the thousands of “band kids” who adored Mr. Kight and the thousands of people who have been delighted and inspired by his music and sense of humor.
Prior of their recent move to Severna Park, Harry and Ruth were active members of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, Deep Creek Lake, MD.
A time of visitation will be held Monday evening, April 21, from 6 – 8 PM at Burdock-Fredlock Funeral Home, P.A., 21 N Second Street, Oakland.
A celebration of Harry’s life will be conducted at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, Second Street, Oakland, MD at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 22, with a reception to follow at the church. The Reverend Scott Robinson will officiate.
Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of the Chesapeake, 90 Ritchie Highway, Pasadena, MD 21122 or the Garrett Lakes Arts Festival (GLAF) at 687 Mosser RD McHenry, MD 21541.

Being able to implement it not just for business growth but also for enhanced customer experience, is very exciting. And we won’t stop here. We will continue to implement more AI driven transformations in our business, as well as bring that data and our learnings to the insurance industry in Canada.”
The initial pilot started in September 2017 and targeted consumers on the Kanetix.ca car insurance comparison website that were on the fence about purchasing auto insurance. Based on the website’s deep pool of data, Integrate.ai configured its platform to predict which customers were likely to convert and their preferred method of transacting, allowing Kanetix.ca to provide a tailored buying experience.
Over the course of the pilot period, the efficacy of the platform’s predictions improved by approximately 38 per cent. Kanetix.ca experienced a conversion increase in auto insurance transactions of 13 per cent (a greater than 5x improvement from early results) and generated 2.3x ROI. Kanetix.ca is now running 100 per cent of its Ontario auto insurance quotes through Integrate.ai’s platform.
“We’re thrilled to be driving tangible financial impact at Kanetix Ltd. Their commitment to improving their organization through innovation has made Kanetix Ltd. an ideal early partner. We look forward to continuing to work together and growing our partnership,” said Steve Irvine, Founder and CEO of Integrate.ai.
As Kanetix Ltd. leverages the technology for partner organizations, Integrate.ai will continue to support Kanetix Ltd. in bringing this innovation to the insurance marketplace.
“Implementing cutting-edge AI and machine learning technology to enhance innovation and drive revenue growth at Kanetix Ltd was the ultimate business goal, but it would be meaningless without improving the customer experience too,” said Andrew Lo, CEO and President of Kanetix Ltd. “We’re now able to anticipate customer expectations and offer them the best shopping experience that aligns with their lifestyle. We’re looking forward to expanding the use of Integrate.ai’s platform and are keen on sharing our learnings with our peers to help drive the industry forward.”
This project is a finalist in the 2018 ICTA Technology Awards. The winners will be announced on February 27.

China's Great Wall Motor is interested in acquiring Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), a Great Wall official told Reuters on Monday.
"With respect to this case, we currently have an intention to acquire. We are interested in (FCA)," the company official in Great Wall's press relations department, who declined to give his name, told Reuters over phone.
Reuters reported earlier, citing sources, that Great Wall had asked for a meeting with FCA with the aim of making an offer for all or part of the Italian-American auto group.
In a separate report also published on Monday, Automotive News said that Great Wall had contacted FCA to express an interest specifically in its Jeep brand, citing an email from Great Wall President Wang Fengying.


A fantastic New Year’s Eve Concert, and a true celebration of Haitian independence, music and culture.
January 2024 – DJ Vargas and DJ Stakz are two of the biggest names in the industry. Whenever they get together for an event or collaboration, special things happen! Most recently, they collaborated once again to create an unforgettable atmosphere at the New Year’s Eve Concert that was aptly named “Konpa Kingdom.” The event featured a spectacular musical performance that left the audience mesmerized and wanting more. The concert was a huge success and was attended by thousands of fans from all over the world who came to witness the magic that these two DJs created together. It was truly a night to remember!
A true celebrity in the industry, DJ Vargas skillfully combines Konpa, Raboday, and more, showcasing his diverse musical talents. DJ Stakz, an international artist and CEO of Hi-Profyle Music Group (HPMG), demonstrates both musical skill and entrepreneurial success in the industry.
New Year’s Eve holds significant importance in the realm of live events, and people naturally seek the very best experiences for this special night. After all, this is one of the biggest nights of the year for entertainers!
With the goal to bid farewell to 2023 and welcome 2024, the two talents orchestrated a spectacular event that truly took off when DJ Stakz took the microphone, and DJ Vargas hit the play button, letting the energy flow.
The concert, produced by Jay Upscale, known for his work on “Soca Kingdom” and “Chris Brown: Live in Jamaica,” not only served as an ideal New Year’s Eve concert but also as a remarkable opportunity to celebrate 220 years of Haitian independence.
“Konpa Kingdom” was not just a typical New Year’s Eve concert; it was also a fantastic showcase of Haitian culture, folklore, and music. The event was brought to life by the talent of DJ Vargas and DJ Stakz, and many successful HMI bands, who consistently share their passion for the richness of Haitian culture with their audience. The name of the show, “Konpa Kingdom,” perfectly represented the essence of the event, which was all about the soulful sounds, colors, and vibes of “Konpa,” a truly iconic music genre that originated from the creativity of Haitian musicians. Konpa is a one-of-a-kind blend of traditional Haitian rhythms with jazz influences and beyond, and this event celebrated everything that makes this genre so special and timeless, even for contemporary audiences and for those who are just getting to discover this genre for the very first time. From the music to the decor to the overall atmosphere, “Konpa Kingdom” truly transported attendees to a world of Haitian culture and music, leaving a lasting impression on all who were lucky enough to experience it.
It is always remarkable to see people like DJ Vargas and DJ Stakz working to keep music alive as they aspire to make a meaningful impact within the Haitian community. Celebrating Haiti means embracing the country’s rich history and culture and sharing it with the world in a very positive way. Those who attended the concert were left with a very positive feeling, having been treated to an unforgettable experience they will surely cherish forever.
Many also gained a newfound appreciation for the nuances of Haitian culture, particularly in regard to the sounds of Konpa music, a true staple of this event. The two-star DJs left no stone unturned in
showcasing their talent and passion for Haitian roots, leaving the audience mesmerized and thoroughly entertained. It was truly an evening to remember for all those fortunate enough to be there.

Firstly, an apology. Observant readers will note that today is Thursday. Yes, I am a day late in posting. Sorry. Life got in the way, in the shape of a migraine, and it’s not funny trying to write with tunnel vision and the pain equivalent of a knitting needle stuck through your eyeball. I figured I might sound somewhat distracted (as indeed I was), so in the spirit of demonstrating how important self care is, I bugged off and went to bed. Today’s post is something of a restart.
For a while I have been feeling the itch to get back to writing original fiction. I’ve been working on fanfiction almost exclusively for a couple of years now, and while it has been hugely instructive in terms of both technique and confidence, I feel like it is time to start making some personal headway again. Hence the restart.
Getting back to basics is one way to do this if, like me, you are feeling a little at sea when it comes to what to write about. And one of the best basics to get back to is the marvellous tool that is the writing exercise.
Writing exercises are based on the idea of stream-of-consciousness and free association. You sit down with your notebook and write for a set amount of time, without judgement or criticism. You are free to make mistakes, try stuff out, experiment with new words, phrases, images, metaphors. This is a free-form space where there are no mistakes, only ideas tried on for fit and comfort.
What you need:
- An allowance of time (10 minutes, 15, half an hour if you have it, or the luxury of more.)
- A notebook (maybe your writing notebook, or one you keep specially for exercises).
- A good pen that you can write easily with.
- A timer.
- A quiet space to work.
- A prompt.
What to do:
Maybe you sit down to write at your desk, and your brain goes blank, or worse, is crowded with too many ideas that are too big to fit into 10 minutes or whoever long you have got, and you freeze.
Say hello to your little friend, the prompt.
A prompt is a word, sentence or idea that you use to start you off. Write it in your notebook. You may like to start a fresh page, thus allowing yourself a psychological fresh start. Set your timer to your allotted amount of time, and off you go.
You start writing whatever comes into your head. You might be writing about yourself, the way you would in your journal, or you might be writing about a character, or from a character’s point of view. You might describe a scene or an experience. Keep writing. Whatever appears on the movie screen of your brain, write it down. And the next thing. And the next thing. Keep going until the bell rings and your time is up.
This is a great way of generating material, especially if you are the kind of writer who finds building up words a process of torture. It is also good for exploring the backstory of your characters, finding out what makes them tick. And of course, you will occasionally find yourself coming back to reality in the middle of a short story that you didn’t even know you had in you, as I often do.
I like to do two or three 15 minute exercises at one sitting, which allows me to really get into the groove. You may not have time for that, and that’s okay. The important thing is that you do the exercises. And do one daily. Limber up. Get into the Habit of Art.
If you find it hard to get yourself into the mood, or to make time, writing exercises are a great tool to use with others. Arrange to meet up with a writing pal at the local café, and do a few prompts together. You don’t have to share what you have written if you don’t want to, but if you make an appointment with someone else, you are more likely to show up at the page and do the work.
Where to find prompts:
Ah! I hear you cry. But where am I supposed to find these fabled prompts?
Well, there are plenty of books around that offer just these kinds of starting grounds. I am very fond of the following:
‘A Writer’s Book of Days’ by Judy Reeves
‘The Writer’s Block’ by Jason Rekulak
‘The Writer’s Idea Book’ by Jack Heffron.
Search the internet for ‘writers prompts’, or check out http://creativewritingprompts.com/, which is a delight.
In the meantime, here are a few to get you started:
- What does your character carry in their pockets and why?
- I woke with a start…
- My first pet
- A favourite meal
Thanks for sharing the creative writing prompts site
I think it’s going to be fun to use

Every Haunting Hour Ever #7: Ghostly Stare
Original Airdate: January 29, 2011
Director: Neill Fearnley
If you've ever to a graveyard regardless of the time of day, you'd probably get two types of feelings from a place like this. The first feeling might be an eerie one, as if someone were following you around and wanted to cause harm. The other might be a sad feeling like your heart has become a lead weight as it sinks at the thought that hundreds or thousands of perished souls are buried there. So with that said, let's take a gander at this episode's story!
Lauren (Emma Grabinsky) and Mark (Jason Spevack) learn that when cemeteries are disturbed, not everything stays buried. A ghost replaces Mark when he falls into a grave. Lauren sets off to get her brother back. In a twist ending, Lauren is replaced by a ghost named Alice Clairborne and the real Lauren becomes dead.
The first thing that I like about this episode is the atmosphere. Yeah I know I said that episodes of The Haunting Hour have a lot of atmosphere but this episode takes that one step further. There's a lot of quiet moments with no dialogue and moments where music just plays. I think there's this emphasis on atmosphere in this episode because when you get down to it, the plot is rather basic so it's not like they had a lot to go off of in the first place. Which leads me to my next point.
Another thing that I like about this episode is that this episode pulls off simple scares rather well. I think this has to do with the fact that scares like this don't really require that much set up to get right. It's basically scares that you would hear in a typical campfire story. They're not very complex but they're still effective within the context of the story.
There is one issue I had with this episode and that was with Lauren's brother. Don't get me wrong, he's not a terrible actor but he seems way too old for the role. The character he plays is written as if he was 7 or 8 years old while the actor himself looks to be around 12 or 13. While it might not seem like that big of an issue to some, I honestly found this kind of distracting.
On the whole, Ghostly Stare is a basic but enjoyable ghost story that really takes advantage of its setting and has fun with its premise. If your into ghost stories like this, you'll enjoy this episode OK.
Overall Grade: A-


I should’ve known it was too good to be true.
These could be some really spectacular facilities.
Here’s my monthly update on the construction progress at the Braves’ new stadium.
According to the study, only New York City, St. Louis and Los Angeles rank higher.
It might not be a conspiracy theory – I think there’s a very specific reason the Braves brought in Ron Washington.
The announcement came at the end of a very strong turnaround by the Braves at the end of the season.
Here’s what we’re leaving behind at Turner Field.

As part of the St. James's Place Wealth Management family, we are part of one of the industry’s most progressive organisations when it comes to responsible investing.
At St. James's Place, responsible investing is considered as standard. It is a key part of who we are, how we plan, grow and protect our client’s wealth and how we operate as a business. This means that St. James's Place’s entire fund range meets the highest standards of responsible investing by integrating environmental, social and governance issues into all investment decisions.
In a world where customers are becoming increasingly socially aware and want to engage with companies that share their own values, the way that a company approaches environmental, social and governance issues plays a significant role in its long-term prospects. This means that responsible investing is no longer solely of interest when considering the effect our money has on environmental and social concerns – it also makes financial sense.
Clients no longer have to put principle before profit and through St. James's Place’s Discretionary Managed Service, clients can go one step further and build portfolios from beyond the usual fund range with those that share specific responsible investment values and beliefs. There is also huge environmental benefit for every individual considering investing in a sustainable fund.
According to Nordea Group’s Sustainable Finance report (Jan 2018), moving a pension or ISA to a sustainable fund can be 27 times more impactful at reducing a carbon footprint than a combination of lifestyle changes including reducing flights and eating less meat.
The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount invested.

combat climate change.

We no longer live in a world where investments are measured by value alone. The global challenges of climate change, mass consumption of energy and resources and pollution mean that investing today is about achieving financial wellbeing in a world worth living in.
We believe that if we can measure it, we can manage it and that is why through measuring the carbon footprint of our portfolios, we can identify the opportunities for change and limit the harmful impacts on our planet and people around the world.
We continually monitor our funds and track progress on any reported metric, including that of carbon emitted by the companies held by each of our fund managers.
We conduct annual responsible investment assessments of our fund managers to measure their alignment with our objectives through this regular analysis we are able to respond to substantial increases in carbon intensity and focus specific attention on companies that have particularly high emissions. Find out more about the carbon performance of each of our funds in our latest report.
Woodland Trust partnership
The Woodand Trust is the largest woodland conservation charity in the UK, planting more than one million trees every year. As part of our commitment to encouraging our clients to embrace the fantastic advances in technology that have been introduced over the past 12 months, we have pledged to donate £3 for every client who signs up to the Client Advice Portal (CAP), which provides a range of virtual meeting and administration opportunities for clients.
This initiative mirrors a pledge by St. James's Place to donate £3 to the Woodland Trust for every client that signs up to the St. James's Place Online Wealth Account, which allows clients to review their investments online and top up their ISAs directly using their own bank card.
St. James's Place has also committed to donate £5 to the St. James's Place Charitable Foundation for every person who signs up to go paperless in their correspondence with St. James's Place and for every client that signs up to all three of these initiatives, we will add a further £4 donation to the Woodland Trust.
At Penney Financial Partners we have more than 700 clients and we are part of a network of more than 4,000 Partner Practices with hundreds of thousands of clients and more than £129bn of funds under management. That’s the potential for a lot of new trees!

BEIJING: China will take tough steps to wipe out African swine fever and will crack down on any behavior that delays or covers up cases of the disease from being reported, a senior official at the agricultural ministry said.
That came after the first case of the fever in Sichuan province, the country’s leading pig-herding region, was confirmed last Friday.
“(China) will need to improve hog-breeding management and animal biosafety management levels, as well as strengthening disease controls at pig farms,” Yu Kangzhen, a vice agriculture minister, said on Monday.
Yu also urged local authorities to crack down on unsupervised animal slaughtering and to prevent meat from animals that had died from the disease from filtering into the market.

After their debut EP was released last year, five-piece band The Wrecks from Thousand Oaks, CA are back with a new five-song EP called Panic Vertigo that’s every bit as good as their debut. The EP stands out as a great introduction to a band that is likely to be a new favorite for fans of the alternative/indie rock genre.
Big on guitar licks and even bigger on catchy chorus melodies, the band is impressive all over this EP. Lyrically, it’s easy to like what they do on songs like “James Dean” - they have an unorthodox style that works well. The same can be said for “Figure This Out” and “Way With Words.” Nick Anderson – frontman of The Wrecks – does some amazing stuff all over this record. His vocal is a standout part of the band and this EP and the guitars of Nick Schmidt and Westen Weiss are the other. You can listen to lots of music released from the past five years but you’re not going to find guitar work that’s done as well as this is.
The Wrecks are a new personal favorite. These five songs are great and so is the band. The vocals and the musicianship are all superb and the song writing is even better. Be sure to check out The Wrecks, you won’t regret it.

When it comes to your fence, you have a lot of options available to you — wood, metal, and even plants — but one material you may not have thought of is vinyl. Ever since the development of PVC, people have found remarkable ways to incorporate this extremely durable material into their everyday lives. Vinyl fencing is just one of the most recent applications that have started to become popular with both residential and commercial purposes. If you haven't considered all the benefits of a vinyl fence installation service, here are a few that may make you take a second look.
As mentioned above, vinyl is one of the most durable materials you can install on your fence. It may not be rigid like a metal fence will be, but the fact that it bends a little with the wind means that it will last a lot longer than materials like wood, which tend to become warped over time. In fact, vinyl fencing can last almost five times as long as wood fencing with regular maintenance, which means it's not only durable but one of the most cost-effective materials you can install as well.
The problems associated with a wood and metal fence are well-known: wood can rot and warp over time, while metal can rust or become discolored. Vinyl, on the other hand, only needs a quick rinse and wipe whenever it gets muddy and possibly a paint job after a few decades of use. Other than that, you'll hardly even notice that it's out there, except when your neighbors ask you where it came from.
Though every type of material has it's signature design patterns, vinyl fencing can come in literally thousands of different shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. Part of your vinyl fence installation service is taking you through the different patterns available to you; they'll work hand in hand to help you match the style of your fence to your home. Whether you want a four-foot picket fence or a 15-foot privacy fence, there's a style that's right for you.
Installing a wood or metal fence can take days. The installer will have to measure out and cut the pickets, dig the trenches, and then install them one by one.

Nice! One of my favorite Cream tunes, kinda the acme of psychedelic rock.
You definitely nailed the sound. What are you using for the distortion?
Hi, thanx! I got complaints about the sound in the greek guitar forum, they said it was too 80's-ish. I am using Boss me-25 multieffects processor, and the settings I am using are exactly the same ones I use for rainbow/deep purple with the humbucker guitars. The only difference are the weaker single coils and the wah (also bundled with boss me-25). So with those weaker pups it should sound cleaner, or more 60's, but wah gives it a boost a little, I think. I am gonna redo this with cleaner sound.
I got complaints about the sound in the greek guitar forum, they said it was too 80's-ish.
That's a bit picky. The point is that the lead part has to sing, and you got that. If you want it to sound exactly like Clapton, you'd need to be recording it in a sound studio, not your bedroom, and you'd need an operating vintage tube amp just like whatever he used back in the day. That sort of "exactness" is a fool's errand, IMO.
If you were in a bar band and played that, no one would complain about the tone.

The Washington Post reports:
Kellyanne Conway has taken “alternative facts” to a new level. During a Thursday interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, the counselor to the president defended President Trump’s travel ban related to seven majority-Muslim countries. At one point, Conway made a reference to two Iraqi refugees whom she described as the masterminds behind “the Bowling Green Massacre.”
“Most people don’t know that because it didn’t get covered,” Conway said. The Bowling Green Massacre didn’t get covered because it didn’t happen. There has never been a terrorist attack in Bowling Green, Ky., carried out by Iraqi refugees or anyone else.
More from USA Today:
Two Iraqi men who lived in Bowling Green, Ky., were indicted in 2011 and are serving life sentences for using improvised explosive devices against U.S. soldiers in Iraq and also for attempting to send weapons and money to Al-Qaeda in Iraq for the purpose of killing U.S. soldiers. The Department of Justice says so — right here. But there is no mention of anything that resembles — in any way — violent offenses that can be characterized, even informally, as a “massacre” or terrorist attack in Bowling Green.
On Conway’s claim that Trump’s refugee ban resembles a similar move taken by Obama after the two Iraqis were arrested in Bowling Green, The Washington Post reported that this is also not true. The paper reported that the Obama administration imposed additional background checks on Iraqi refugees but did not stop or ban Iraqi resettlement. Conway was not available for comment on her allegations or use of the word “massacre.”

It’s all about damage made by the burning Galaxy Note 7, Samsung took the decision to stop the production permanently and announced it already. So, Samsung won’t be selling Galaxy Note 7 now.
Analysts expect that the financial impact from lost Note 7 sales will be almost as high as $17 billion, and even Samsung team has not got any point on what’s the issue bursting Galaxy Note 7 battery. But nevertheless, it seems like Samsung want to cover all the damages made by Galaxy Note 7 in the recent times with its already popular Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.
Launched earlier this year, the Galaxy S7 undoubtedly a best hit this year and made a significant contribution to Samsung’s record-breaking Q3. Expected the same with the launch of Galaxy Note 7 to do in the fourth quarter, but sadly it didn’t managed to. It appears that Samsung will now have to rely on the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge to cover the loss.
Now, Samsung will focus fully on the Galaxy S7 sales, which is the hardware did not faced any problems, and can compete with the likes of Apple’s new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus range, Google Pixel and Pixel XL range and even HTC 10. As per the reports, Samsung asked the vendors to provide more components for the Galaxy S7. The order of components to other smartphones were also enhanced, such as the upcoming Galaxy S8.
With the huge failure of Galaxy Note 7, Samsung fans are imminently switching to the Galaxy S7, so Samsung reportedly ramping up production of the S7 and the S7 Edge to try and compete in the high-end market place as the holiday season approaches.
Until that time, when the Samsung Galaxy S8 is due next February, if the rumors are to be believed. Technically, it seems could launch Galaxy S8 in December month itself because of the loss of Galaxy Note 7 sales. If not the Galaxy S8 will follow the release as scheduled and will be shipped in March.

The National Transport Authority and Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan have announced that €4,649,670 has been approved for much active cycling and walking infrastructure in County Louth.
The money has been approved under the New Rural Active Travel Investment Programme which will Distribute €72.8 Million in year one of a five-year plan as announced by the National Transport Authority.
While the majority of the funding is earmarket for Drogheda with €1.2m alone allocated for work on St Dominick’s Bridge Independent TD Peter Fitzpatrick has pointed to €40m in funding which was awarded to Louth last year for Coastal Protection Works.
“It’s great to see money being granted to Louth for sustainable transport options which will encourage people to leave their cars, motorbikes, vans etc at home where possible. There will be funds made available for projects in Dundalk connecting the inner relief Rd to Riverside Walk on the Dublin Road and from Ard Easmuinn Rd to Train Station/Friary School and the bus station to the train station.
“I also want people to remember that there is a lot more money available to spend in this area thanks to a €40m worth of funding which was awarded last year as part of coastal protection works. That money has been ring-fenced and will be available to spend soon. I have been a keen advocate for the Dundalk to Blackrock walkway and this funding will be used for that project,” explained Peter.
“In July of last year we brought in consultants to draw plans for this walkway and they are due to come back with their recommendations in the next month or two. Any shortfall of costings will be made up by Louth County Council. We have been pushing for a coastal walkway and I think it will be a fantastic addition to the area. As I say we have the money for this project already in the bag and it is now just a case of waiting on the consultants to get back to us before we can start work on the project,” stated Deputy Fitzpatrick.

OMICRON is spreading through the nation, with thousands being struck every day.
As Brits try to avoid catching it ahead of New Year's Eve, these are some of the symptoms to keep an eye out for.
Experts across the globe have highlighted at least eight early warning signs of Omicron you should never ignore.
If you have Covid symptoms of any kind, you should get a PCR test and self-isolate until the results come back.
A string of hugely positive studies show Omicron IS milder than other strains, with the first official UK report revealing the risk of hospitalisation is 50 to 70 per cent lower than with Delta.
Covid booster jabs protect against Omicron and offer the best chance to get through the pandemic, health officials have repeatedly said.
The Sun's Jabs Army campaign is helping get the vital extra vaccines in Brits' arms to ward off the need for any new restrictions.
Infection rates are high – with daily cases breaking records – so if you feel at all unwell, there is a good chance it is Covid.
In the past four days, between 75,000 and 96,000 new cases of Covid have been diagnosed every day.
While estimates say that 67 per cent of these are Omicron, only around 37,000 have been confirmed through genetic testing.

The early symptoms
Going by reports from cases in the UK, South Africa and US, these are common early warning signs of Omicron:
- Scratchy throat
- Lower back pain
- Runny nose/congestion
- Night sweats
- Body aches
It was doctors in South Africa that first said a scratchy throat, congestion, a dry cough and lower back pain were being picked up among Omicron patients.
Ryan Noach – chief executive of Discovery Health, the country’s largest private health insurer – made the comments after analysing some 78,000 Omicron cases.
Unben Pillay, a family doctor practising on the outskirts of Johannesburg, said that while it was still early days, “we are seeing patients present with dry cough, fever, night sweats and a lot of body pain”.
Dr Amir Khan, a British GP, described “drenching night sweats”, the kind “where you might have to get up and change your clothes”.
The ZOE COVID Study, which tracks the outbreak with the help of millions of app users, conducted an initial analysis of symptom data from positive cases in London.
London was selected due to the higher prevalence of Omicron compared to other regions.
The analysis found no clear differences in the early symptoms (three days after a test) between Delta and Omicron.
It said the top five symptoms reported were runny nose, headache, fatigue, sneezing and sore throat.
The CDC – which provides information for Americans – has also found the same symptoms in a group of Omicron patients.
In a new report, it said the most commonly reported symptoms of Omicron appeared to be a cough, fatigue and congestion.
Some of the older more well-known symptoms do not appear to be featuring as much in reports.
For example, a loss of smell and taste has rarely been reported by medics in relation to Omicron, with some saying they don't think it is a typical symptom. Fever is also less common.
Prof Tim Spector, who leads the ZOE study, said: “Hopefully people now recognise the cold-like symptoms which appear to be the predominant feature of Omicron.”
The King's College London epidemiologist has been calling on the NHS to change its symptom list for months.
He tweeted that 50 per cent of current Covid cases lack the three traditional symptoms of a cough, fever and loss of smell/taste.
What else to look out for?
The virus can affect people in a dozen ways, the pandemic has shown.
Diarrhoea, confusion, loss of appetite, muscle and joint aches, a rash and irritated eyes are just some of the other reported symptoms from studies and the World Health Organization.
Some experts say if you feel unwell, regardless of the symptoms, it is worth getting tested.
If you have a cough, fever or loss of smell and/or taste, you should immediately get a test, the NHS says.
If you have a positive lateral flow test, the NHS says “get a PCR test to confirm your result as soon as possible”.
These tests can be delivered to your home for free or picked up in pharmacies, some schools and workplaces.

Superchunk's new single, "FOH" (Merge), may be the most carefree, upbeat song ever written about pre-gig fretting. "FOH" stands for "front of house," or, in live music terms, where the audience is. The song is a tribute to the scrappiness of Superchunk, one of a handful of '90s D.I.Y. bands who really did do it themselves. Singer Mac McCaughan keeps asking, "How's everything at the front of the house?" and keeps getting responses like, "The drums exploded and our amps are down," but, in the end, they triumph with a positive attitude and soaring guitar solos. As it should be.
