The history of The Nation is the history of the nation. You can see this in the photographs now on show at the RaMoMa room at Rahimtulla Tower, an exhibition, A Piece of History; you can read it in the new book by Gerry Loughran, The Birth of a Nation: the Story of a Newspaper in Kenya. Both the exhibition and the book are celebrating the newspaper’s 50th anniversary.
The Nation was a most apt title for the paper founded by the Aga Khan and launched back in 1960. When the young leader of the Ismailis first put the idea of starting a newspaper in Kenya to Michael Curtis, once editor of the News Chronicle in England, Curtis was tempted but said that he could not be involved in a paper for the Ismaili community.
‘‘No, no, that’s the last thing I want,’’ the Aga Khan said. ‘‘I want a completely independent paper.’’
And Curtis, who would become the Nation’s first chief executive, went on to say that he was quickly convinced that what the Aga Khan wanted was a newspaper to give voice to Kenya’s nationalists who, in those few years before independence, were not being heard in the political debate.
And that is the constant dilemma for those running a newspaper in a country like Kenya, or anywhere for that matter: how to give voice to people you wish to support, and at the same time remain truly independent – and non-partisan.
It is not, of course, a dilemma that is apparent in the display of photographs at Rahimtullah Tower. It makes for a fast and fascinating tour back through 50 years – a pictorial record of a country’s pleasures and pains, moments of happiness and times of tragedy.
There’s a relaxed picture of Mzee and the Aga Khan sharing smiles – Kenyatta in his favourite leather jacket and the Aga Khan in a businesslike suit and tie.
There’s the tense photograph of Thomas, Lord Delamere, leading Kenyatta into the 1963 pivotal meeting with white settlers in Nakuru.
And there’s the amazing photograph taken by the young Mohamed Amin – when, on the Saturday, July 5, 1969, Tom Mboya was gunned down in a Nairobi street, and Pamela, his wife, and fellow Luos were collapsing in paroxysms of grief.
The record moves on – showing terrified Kenyans holding up ID cards after the 1982 failed coup attempt; people scrabbling through the wreckage of the bombed American Embassy in 1998; and a distraught woman outside the Kiamba church where 30 people were burnt to death in 2008.
All these photographs are also in Gerry Loughran’s book. But there is also Gerry’s own commentary (from the inside, as he was at The Nation in a senior editorial position for 12 years) and his collection of memories and opinions of old colleagues such as fellow Europeans Gerry Wilkinson and Robbie Armstrong – and Kenyan senior editors such as Joe Kadhi, Philip Ochieng, Wangethi Mwangi and Tom Mshindi.
Gerry tells how the very first issue of The Nation on Sunday, March 20, 1960, carried a cartoon on the editorial page that showed Kenya’s black and white leaders gathered around a new-born baby in a pram marked Nation.
One of them was saying, ‘‘He’s a cute little fellow, but will he behave?’’ It was a cogent caption, Gerry remarks, considering the many painful conflicts that lay ahead between the paper and politicians.
Throughout the book (from the time in the early days when President Kenyatta embarrassed the Aga Khan by asking him if he could install his nephew, Ngengi Muigai, as chairman of the holding company, Nation Printers and Publishers Ltd, to the months after the botched elections of 2007 when The Nation was often accused of favouring the PNU) Gerry tells of the ‘‘many painful conflicts’’ between the paper and the politicians. He tells it with the kind of wit we now enjoy in his Sunday Nation column, Letter from London.

Green Travel Guide: Tips to Be an Eco-Friendly Traveller in India
You will be surprised to know that India has been voted the most environment-friendly and green country in the world by none other than National Geographic. Besides that out of 17 main economies, India does the least harm to our environment. So if India is the next destination on your bucket list then you must go through this travel guide. Being a savvy traveler it is one of your obligations as well to protect the environment of the country. Here are some tips to be an eco-friendly travelling in India. You must go through these once before you book your flights to India .
Carry Reusable Things
Always keep this thing in mind that plastic is like an enemy to nature. You must know how plastic is making harm to nature and marine life as well. Thus, it makes sense to quit use plastics including containers, straws, bags, cutlery, water bottles, and other items. You should quit non-biodegradable and hazardous things for the environment. Don’t think that you are here only for a few days! It’s your responsibility to think about nature even when nobody is watching you. Keep a refillable water bottle along with you. This will help you to fill the water bottles again and again, there is no need to throw water bottles after every use. Also, keep reusable shopping bags. These little things play a very huge role in environment protection.
Always Prevent Food Wastage
Are you one of those who leave food unfinished in their plates? This is the worse habit you can ever have and you must know that. Do you have any idea that how badly food wastage impacts biodiversity and nature? And this is not just a saying; it is a report of UN food and agricultural organization. You will be sad to know that food wastage is a consequence of tourism. And you can take some small steps to solve this problem.
Try to Pack Lighter
Packing lighter saves the environment! Don’t be surprised it is true. I will tell you the logic behind this. It is 100% logical while you are flying. The more an airplane carries the weight the more carbon-dioxide it will emit and it will cause degradation of the air quality. Besides, that packing light is convenient for you also. Always carry very essential things it will make you and the environment both happy.
It is world-known that hundred of trees are chopped to make papers. If you want to check the figures and facts then you must know that according to the report of Global Forest Resource Assessment roughly 80,000 to 160,000 trees are cut down each day around the world with a significant percentage being used in the paper industry. We are discussing this in a travel article because we use several documents and tickets for travel. Always try to keep the soft copy of your tickets and documents because everything is digital nowadays and online documents are acceptable everywhere. Take this small step and save hundreds of trees in your every travel.
Try to Reduce Energy Use
Nobody can survive without the use of energy but we can help in saving energy at least. The reason behind this the power plants which are used to generate electricity cause a lot of harm to our nature. We are not saying that stop consuming energy but at least switch off lights, fans, TV, AC and other electrical appliances in your hotel rooms when you are not in there. Try to use stairs when you can. Another useful tip for travelers is that try to book a single room rather than booking small rooms if you are alone.
Conserve Water as much as You Can
Nobody is unaware of the fact that water is a very important natural resource. Avoid overuse of water while you are travelling. Wasting water is not something that you will do intentionally but it you start observing then you will see how much water you waste in your travel. Try to choose a shower instead of a bath in your hotel room. If you think you will get to know that choosing a bath over shower wastes a double amount of water. Never leave the tap turned on and hang the hotel towers instead of throwing them on the floor.
Use Public Transport if Possible
Have you ever thought that why air quality on hill stations and a mountain is pure? The answer is because of less usage of transport. You will get the freshest air over there otherwise what is the point of visiting hill stations. And because of an increase in tourism, it is also in danger. India is a country of hill stations and mountains. So whenever you go there to visit always make sure to use public transport instead of booking a personal car.
Never Litter while Travelling
Littering is the best way of disgracing the nature or any landscape. Follow the leave-no-trace regime and keep every place clean and natural. Always try to take your rubbish with you. No matter you are traveling to a beach, hill station or trekking. Keep your litter in your bag or throw it into a dustbin when you find any.
These are some major tips to have an eco-friendly trip however these tricks are not limited to these only. There are several other things that you can take care of like you can choose hotels that support eco-friendly stay by providing solar power, rainwater harvesting, low-flow toilets, and energy-efficient lights.


WASHINGTON CITY – Two people were transported to the hospital Monday afternoon after a man traveling southbound on Interstate 15, near milepost 14, lost control of his vehicle and collided with another car before going up the side of a concrete barrier, at which point, his vehicle rolled and came to a rest on its side.
At approximately 12:40 p.m., a man driving a white GMC SUV traveling southbound on I-15 was likely driving too fast as he came down around a corner just prior to the Washington Parkway Exit, Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Grant Hintze said.
“Traffic was backed up just a little bit and he came just around the corner, possibly too fast for the condition, bounced off the concrete barrier on the right side of the road and possibly off the left side – this is according to witnesses – and then he made contact with this gold Toyota car on the backend,” Hintze said, “spinning them out.”
After hitting the gold Toyota car, the white SUV rolled off the concrete barrier before coming to a rest on its side below the side of the mountain.
The gold Toyota car, occupied by an elderly couple, spun out, hit the concrete barrier and then came to a rest head-on against the mountainside, Hintze said.
Medical personnel arrived on scene to safely assist the driver of the white SUV out the back window of the SUV. He sustained at least a laceration on his forehead and complained of back pain, Hintze said, and was transported to Dixie Regional Medical in St. George via ambulance.
The woman driving the gold Toyota car did not report any injuries. However, her male passenger had to be removed from the vehicle by medical personnel and was subsequently transported to Dixie Regional Medical Center via ambulance due to the injuries he sustained.
“The driver of the SUV will possibly be issued a speed citation – too fast for conditions,” Hintze said.
The right southbound traffic lane was closed for approximately an hour, slowing and backing up traffic to milepost 17.
As the scene was being cleared, a tow truck arrived on scene and clipped the side of a Washington City Fire truck that was parked at the top of the hill directing traffic.
This report is based on preliminary information provided by UHP at the scene and may not contain the full scope of findings.

CDX- Ⅲ Multi-functional Magnetic Particle Detector
I. Brief Description
CDX－III magnetic-particle detector is a new type magnetic particle fault
localization equipment designed and produced by our Company independently
after utilizing the advantages of its counterparts at home and abroad.
Magnetization by additional magnetic field renders the detector small in size
and light in weight. Highly integrated circuit makes one device perform all the
functions of several ones.
F Selection of functions:
►A type probe: also named horseshoe magnetic yoke probe or fillet weld
probe, turning joint angular magnetic head, which is fitted with a working lamp
and is especially suitable for fault detection of work pieces with abnormal face
and complicated shape. Polar distance: 20-160 ㎜;lifting power: AC≥5
㎏,DC≥18 ㎏;weight : 1 ㎏. The equipment made by using this probe is referred
to as horseshoe magnetic yoke detector or fillet weld detector. The probe finds
wide application as it uses the turning joint.
►D type probe: also called electromagnetic yoke probe with various turning
joints and great magnetization strength. Polar distance:60-220 ㎜; lifting power:
AC≥7 ㎏,DC≥18 ㎏; weight: 1.6 ㎏.The equipment made by using this probe
independently is named electromagnetic yoke detector and the probe is
featured by high magnetic inductivity and great magnetization strength.
►E type probe: also called cross magnetic yoke probe or rotating-field probe
and can conduct omnibearing combination magnetization flaw detection at a
time. The running roller and working lamp can increase the fault detection
speed. Polar distance: 110 ㎜,lifting power: AC≥9 ㎏ and weight:2 ㎏. The
equipment made by using this probe independently is called rotating-field fault
detector, which uses two cross magnetic yokes and AC move-phase technology
to produce a synthetic rotating field that varies with time for omnibearing
combination magnetization of a work piece at a time. The fault detection is
done quickly with high inspection quality.
►O type probe: also called ring probe with an internal diameter of 150 ㎜ and
center field ≥180Oe.Weight:3 ㎏.The equipment made by using this probe
independently is named ring
fault detector. It is designed on the principle of forming a strong magnetic field by
energizing a coil and is suitable for sectional fault detection or demangnetization of
complicated work pieces including axles, bars, pipes and vanes.
II. Technical performance
1. Power source: AC 220V ±10％ 50HZ 5A
2. Output: AC 36V10A Probes of A.D.E.O can be selected for fitting.
3. Fault detection speed: ≥6 m/ m
4. Temperature rise of probe: ≤60℃
5. Operating beat: It is suggested that in continuous long-time operation
magnetization time ≤3 s and off time≥5 s
6. Weight of the detector: ~6.6Kｇ
III. Operation and maintenance
This operation guide should be read carefully before use of this detector so that
you may know its structure and technical performance well. Check if the power is in
conformity with the requirements for the detector and connection is correct. Only
when no error is found can the power may be switched on. For the first use or reuse
after a long suspension check if the instrument is in good shape.
1． Operating procedures
(1) The power plug cord is connected to the socket of the instrument and the
connected to the output socket properly.
(2) When external power is switched on, the indicator lamp will flash, the
will also be closed and the servo begins to work.
(3) With good contact of the probe with the work piece to be detected, the
switch on the
probe is pressed. Then the work piece will be magnetized by the instrument
with the work lamp flashing. When the switch is released, the main loop
power will be cut off and the work piece won’t be magnetized.
(4)If the detector is not in use, the switch should be turned off to cut off the
2． Trouble shooting
(1)For no indication of energization, non-operation or blown fuse, short circuit or
overload may be the cause.
(2) The probe works after the switch is pressed, but no work indication is seen.
The indicator lamp is out of order.
(3)The indicator lamp is on, but the probe doesn’t magnetize. The main circuit or
control circuit fails.
(4)If power is switched on, magnetism is charged without pressing the switch. The
control circuit or bilateral silicon-controlled switch may be broken.
(1) Operating beat of the instrument: It is suggested that in continuous long-time
operation magnetization time ≤3 s and off time≥5 s
(2) Before use check if the voltage meets the requirements for the instrument as
excessively high or low tension will damage the instrument or affect fault
(3) In operation the end face of the probe should be in good contact with the work
piece to be detected before pressing the magnetization switch and then best
magnetization effect will be achieved.
(4) The detector is equipped with sound no-load and over-current protective circuit,
but it should not be operated under no load to reduce unnecessary temperature
(5) The detector can work continuously. If partial overheating is found, it should be
suspended from use. Reuse is possible after the cause is ascertained.
(6) The detector and its accessories should be used or kept in a clean, dry and
(7) When repairing by yourself, watch out for the high-voltage danger in the
(8) Power switch should not be turned on or off after the magnetization switch is

A night to freeze the blood! Taking place online for each night of All Hallows Eve, your costumed host willdeliver some of literature’s strangest gothic tales by the fireside. Hear stories written by pioneering writers of horror, strangeness and terror, concluding with the Queen of Gothic herself, Mary ‘Frankenstein’ Shelley.
As night wanes and the witching hour approaches, settle in for an atmospheric evening of Gothic tales from Chawton House’s collection. In 1816, known as the year without summer, Lord Byron challenged his guests, Percy Shelley, Mary Godwin and Dr Polidori to write a ghost story, inspired by a collection of German horror fables. As the stormy weather raged outside, tensions increased within the flickering, candlelit rooms. Trapped inside the oppressive villa, two iconic tales were born: John Polidori’s The Vampyre and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
We begin our Gothic retellings with Hannah More’s poem Bishop Bonner’s Ghost whose ghoulish apparition passes judgment beyond the grave. The night continues with The Midnight Bell, described as one of Jane Austen’s ‘horrid novels’ in Northanger Abbey. Each night a mysterious bell rings in the St Francis Abbey, where a terrible murder took place years before…
Night the second is dedicated to Anne Radcliffe, the most significant Gothic writer of the eighteenth century. Far from being a horror writer, Radcliffe wished to terrify her readers and make them feel alive through her words. Her most famous work, The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) takes place in the sixteenth century in Southern France and tells the tale of orphaned Emily St Aubert, imprisoned in a castle by her villainous uncle Montoni.
The final night is a dramatic reading of Mary Shelley’s little-known novella Mathilda. Although written between August 1819 and February 1820, the subject matter was so controversial that it was not published until 1959. It tells the story of Mathilda, a young woman desperately in love with a gifted young poet, Woodville, from whom she hides the shameful secret of her father’s incestuous love.

We plan to book a direct flight from Taiwan to Canada and transfer from Canada to the USA by ground. Let's take a look at my planning of "shipping" my parents here!
How to Enter Canada Customs without Speaking EnglishThe biggest concern, of course, is the language barrier. With proper preparation ahead of time, I am sure we all can help our non-English speaking relatives travel around the world without any issue and fear! There are a few things to think about:
Airline Special AssistanceWill they know where to go after they get off the airplane? Many airlines nowadays offer special assistance which includes directing elder/younger travelers to the connection flight or customs. As far as I know, EVA Air and China Airline offer this service. I am going to call the airline to request special assistance ahead of time so they will direct my parents to the customs after they land in Canada.
Fill Out the Declaration CardHow do they know how to fill out the declaration card? I found a sample declaration card online and filled out their information in English. They will bring this sheet with them to board the airplane. By the time they are given the declaration card, they just need to copy what I have on that sample sheet to the real card. That way, there won't be any confusion.
Canada Declaration Card QuestionsFor Canada visitors, the declaration card contains A, B, C parts. If you are traveling together with someone else that lives at the same address, you can have up to 4 same-address travelers on the same single card. Click here to see more details.
Write a Quick Note for the Customs
- What's your purpose for this visit?
- Where are you going?
- How long are you staying?
- Where are you staying?
Other Things to Look Out for:
- Airport Map: Download this from the airport website
- Cell Phone Service: Get a prepaid phone from your home country. I got it through T-Mobile.
- WiFi Service: Check to see if the airport offers a free or paid WiFi service.
- Cash: Exchange some US or Canadian dollars just for emergency. Credit cards are generally accepted in most places in the USA.
- Meeting location: Decide a clear and easy-to-find meeting location for the pick-up and circle it on the map.

If you’re like me, then you probably have a love-hate relationship with acrylic paint. I love the way it dries quickly and the vibrant colors that it comes in, but I hate how difficult it is to get dry acrylic paint out of brushes. Over time, I’ve developed a method for getting my brushes clean and keeping them in good condition.
- Rinse your brush out with warm water and soap
- Use a brush cleaner or alcohol to remove the paint from the bristles
- Wash your brush with warm water and soap again
- Repeat steps 2-3 until the brush is clean
- Let the brush dry before using it again
How to Clean Acrylic Paint Brushes With Vinegar
Few materials are as versatile as acrylic paint. It can be used on a variety of surfaces, making it a popular choice for artists of all levels. But one downside to this type of paint is that it can be tough to clean off your brushes.
If you don’t clean them properly, the paint can quickly harden and become impossible to remove. The good news is that there’s an easy way to clean your acrylic paint brushes with vinegar. All you need is white vinegar and some hot water.
Here’s how to do it: 1) Pour some white vinegar into a bowl or cup. The amount you’ll need will depend on the number of brushes you’re cleaning.
2) submerge the bristles of your brush in the vinegar and let them soak for a few minutes. This will help loosen any dried-on paint. 3) Use your fingers to gently massage the bristles while they’re still in the vinegar solution.
This will further break up any clumps of dried paint. 4) Rinse the bristles with hot water until they’re free of residue. You may need to repeat steps 2-4 if there’s a lot of dried paint on your brush.
Cleaning Acrylic Paint Brushes in Sink
Assuming you are using water-based acrylic paint:
1. Run your brush under lukewarm water, being careful not to bend the bristles.
2. Continue running the brush under water until it is free of visible paint.
3. Next, create a soapy solution by combining a mild dish soap with lukewarm water in a cup or bowl. 4. Gently swirl your brush around in the soapy solution for 30 seconds to 1 minute. 5. Rinse the brush clean under lukewarm water once again and pat dry with a clean towel.
How to Get Dried Paint Out of Brushes
If you’ve ever found yourself with a dried-up paintbrush, you know the frustration that comes with trying to get it back to its original condition. But don’t despair! With a little elbow grease and some patience, you can get your brush looking like new again.
Here’s how: 1. Start by soaking the brush in warm water for about 15 minutes. This will help loosen up the dried paint.
2. Next, use a brush comb or an old toothbrush to gently remove any loose paint from the bristles. Be sure to do this over a trash can or other surface where the loose paint won’t be a nuisance. 3. Once you’ve removed as much of the dried paint as possible, it’s time to start scrubbing!
Use soap and water to work into the bristles, using a circular motion until all of the residue is gone. You may need to repeat this step several times before your brush is completely clean.
Best Brush Cleaner for Acrylic Paint
If you’re like me, then you probably have a love-hate relationship with your acrylic paint brushes. I love the way they make my paintings look, but I hate how quickly they get dirty and how difficult they are to clean. But don’t worry, there’s hope!
I’ve found the best brush cleaner for acrylic paint, and it’s really not that expensive or hard to find. The first step is to invest in a good quality brush cleaner. I prefer the kind that comes in a spray bottle, because it’s easier to use and less messy.
Make sure you read the instructions on the bottle carefully before using it. Some cleaners can be harsh on your brushes, so it’s important to follow the directions. Once you have your cleaner, it’s time to start cleaning those dirty brushes!
Start by spraying each brush liberally with cleaner and then wiping them down with a paper towel or old rag. You might need to do this a few times to get all of the paint out of the bristles. Once they’re mostly clean, rinse them off with water and let them air dry.
And that’s it! With just a little bit of effort, you can keep your acrylic paint brushes looking like new for much longer than if you didn’t clean them at all. So don’t put it off any longer – go grab yourself a brush cleaner and get cleaning!
What Liquid is Used to Remove Acrylic Paint from Brushes?
Acrylic paint is water-based, so it can be removed from brushes with plain water. You can also use a mild soap to help break down the paint.
What Will Dissolve Dried Acrylic Paint?
Assuming you want to remove dried acrylic paint from a surface:
There are a few methods that can be used to dissolve dried acrylic paint, depending on what materials you have on hand.
One way is to use a solvent such as acetone, nail polish remover, or rubbing alcohol.
Simply apply the solvent to a clean cloth and rub it over the dried paint until it begins to dissolve. You may need to use a little elbow grease for tougher spots. Once the majority of the paint is removed, wipe down the area with a damp cloth to remove any residual solvent.
Another method is to make a paste out of baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the dried paint and let it sit for several minutes before scrubbing with a sponge or brush. This should loosen up the paint so it can be wiped away easily.
Rinse off any remaining paste with water once you’re finished. If neither of these methods works, you may need to resort to sanding or scraping off the dried paint. If sanding, start with a coarse grit sandpaper and work your way up until you’ve achieved desired results.
For scraping, use a putty knife or other sharp tool; take care not ton damage surfaces underneath the paint layer.
How Do You Remove Stubborn Acrylic Paint from Brush Bristles?
If you’re an artist who uses acrylic paint, then you know that sometimes the paint can get dried on and be tough to remove from your brush bristles. But don’t despair, there are several ways that you can remove stubborn acrylic paint from your brushes!
One way is to soak the brushes in warm water for a few minutes.
This will help loosen up the dried paint so that it’s easier to remove. Then, use a brush comb or old toothbrush to gently scrub away the dried paint. You may need to do this a few times to get all of the paint off.
Another way to remove stubborn acrylic paint from your brushes is to use white vinegar. Soak the brushes in vinegar for about 15 minutes, then rinse them off with warm water. The vinegar will help break down the dried paint so that it’s easier to remove.
If neither of these methods work, then you can try using denatured alcohol. Soak the brushes in alcohol for about 15 minutes, then rinse them off with warm water. The alcohol will dissolve the dried paint so that it’s easy to brush away.
No matter what method you use, be sure to rinse your brushes well with warm water after removing the stubborn acrylic paint. This will help prevent any damage to the bristles and keep them in good condition for future use!
Can Dried Paint Brushes Be Saved?
If you’re like most people, you probably have a few dried-up paintbrushes taking up space in your home. But before you toss them in the trash, know that there are a few ways you can try to revive your brushes and get them back to their original glory.
The first step is to see if the bristles are still pliable.
If they are, then it’s worth trying to salvage your brush. Start by soaking the brush in warm water for about 30 minutes. This will help loosen up the dried paint and make it easier to remove.
Once the brush has soaked, use your fingers to gently massage the bristles and work out as much of the dried paint as possible. You may also need to use a comb or other tool to help loosen and remove the paint. Once you’ve removed as much paint as possible, it’s time to wash the brush with soap and water.
Be sure to use a mild soap so as not to damage the bristles further. Rinse well and allow the brush to air dry completely before using again. If your brush is truly beyond saving, then it’s time to say goodbye and invest in a new one!
If you’re a painter, then you know the importance of taking care of your brushes. Not only do they play a big role in the quality of your work, but they can also be expensive to replace. So what do you do when your brushes become full of dried acrylic paint?
Luckily, there are a few ways that you can get the paint out and keep your brushes in good condition. One way is to soak them in warm water for a few minutes before using a brush cleaner or soap to remove the paint. Another way is to use white vinegar or nail polish remover ( acetone) on a cotton ball or Q-tip to break down the paint.
Once you’ve removed as much paint as possible, be sure to wash your brushes with soap and water and dry them thoroughly before storing them away. With proper care, your brushes should last for years!

Once Upon A Time in Goa
Two generations after the Portuguese rule ended in Goa, the music and dance of former times is not forgotten. Goa still retains links with the music that shaped an earlier generation, suggests a new book. From Western music to prominent bands like Johnson and his Jolly Boys, radio programmes and family celebrations, the traditions live on.
Goan music consists of erudite Western music and Jazz, Portuguese music, Anglo-Saxon folk music, Latin American and Brazilian popular music, Goa Trance, some Indian film songs, Hindustani music, devotional Hindi music, Konkani music from outside Goa, and a lot more, suggests a new book on the subject.
Titled 'Once Upon A Time in Goa', this book by the Portuguese author, Joaquim Correia, promises to focus on "music and dance in a charming region and its diaspora". Collating details from near and far, Correia describes "memories of the fifties" (1950s). These come in the form of the bands and parties prevalent in daily life here, just before the Portuguese left.
Intriguingly, the Portuguese author has been able to dig up advertisements, photographs, cartoons and news items from another era. Correia writes: "Among the various orchestras, Johnson and his Jolly Boys, or simply Johnson de Siolim, stood out. The late caricaturist, Mario Miranda ... has often sketched the artistes’ performances.”
Correia covers the traditional theatre of Goa, the Carnival and Holi festival, military bands at the fag end of Portuguese rule, events like the First Goa Motor Rally around 1959, the Last New Year's Eve, with the Radio Serenaders (led by maestro Carlos Rodrigues) performing, among other topics.
"The Emissora de Goa (Goa's radio station from its Portuguese days) was by far the most listened to radio station, and this did not happen by chance! Its broadcasts were built with the listener in mind, in an attractive and innovative scenario, only having as its competitor the official radio of Ceylon, especially when it announced the Binaca Hit Parade with Hindu music themes," writes Correia.
The Emissora de Goa first appeared in 1946. Initially, it was run as Radio Goa, and became "one of the most heard frequencies in Asia". It broadcast from 7 a.m. to midnight, in Portuguese, English, Hindi, and even Urdu and Konkani. It had music, football and sport, and a lot of other content in its mix.
There were also celebrations in grand musical homes. Backpackers and adventurers travelled overland from Europe to Goa later. Academic institutions also lent their bit, with the Liceu and the Escola Medica annual ball being major and exclusive events.
Goa also saw its links grow between music, the diaspora, sport, and even Bollywood. The music of Goans in the diaspora is a chapter and more. In Portugal itself, Goa has its strong contingent of musicians and singers.The book terms Goa's pop star Remo Fernandes as 'the Bob Dylan of India'. Fado in Goa, and many of its prominent local singers, is also focused on. There is also a section dealing with "books, records and other memories." Many books are related to music.
The book is quite comprehensive, and has been praised for being a useful text for anyone interested in the subject. Earlier, a book on parallel lines - but not the same text - was published in Portuguese, in Lisbon.
Correia's earlier work was titled ‘A última dançaem Goa’ (The Last Dance in Goa), and was published in 2018. Some of the text also touches on Goan music in Africa, including Mozambique and the other former Portuguese colonies. One chapter covers Goan music in Portugal between the 1960s and our time.
The book is divided into roughly four parts: (i) Memories of the Fifties: the bands and the parties in daily life; (ii) Proud to be a Goan Musician; (iii) the Fado, Mando and other Stories: Traditions that still stand in Goa and Portugal; (iv) Books, Records and other Memories.
The book is available in Mumbai and Goa, at St Paul's Bookstore at Bandra and in Goa at Varsha Bookstall (Panjim) and DogEars Bookshop (Margao). It is also available with the publishers GPR Associates (+91 98670 74769) or Goa1556 (+91 98221 22436).
Author Joaquim Correia was born in Coimbra, Portugal in 1951, and lives there. He studied in Portugal and Angola, where he also did military service. He is the author of several works related to research, particularly in the musical field. He lived in Macau for 11 years – his starting point to discover the East. A man of seven professions – besides his military service, he was a lawyer, professor, library technician, researcher, writer and a consultant.

Trinity Student Wins Statewide Speak-Off
Trinity High School sophomore Katie Tenneson won the statewide Conservation Education Speak-Off contest in Santa Rosa in November with her oratory on this year’s topic, “Biofuels: The Energy of the Future.” The competition, open to all high school students, is an annual event put on by the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts to promote conservation awareness and education.
THS instructor Molly Greenwood, Katie|
and her mom Renie Tenneson.
Katie, the daughter of Art and Renie Tenneson of Weaverville, was the youngest of the eight competitors vying to win the state finals. She was awarded with a plaque and $300. Each finalist had competed and won at local and regional Speak-Off competitions held this fall throughout California before heading to Santa Rosa. All of this year’s competitors also were offered summer internships with their local Natural Resources Conservation Service office by State Conservationist Ed Burton of the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Katie’s advisors were Trinity High School Agricultural Science instructors Molly Greenwood and Mike Rourke. Trinity Minerals helped sponsor her participation.
Competitors researched the topic in depth and were judged on their mastery of information, organizational and delivery skills, and in explaining how resource conservation districts can provide assistance on the issue. Students interested in competing in the 2007 Speak-Off should contact the Trinity County Resource Conservation District.

Take a deep dive with us into indicators of consumer confidence and future spending, including key surveys that measure trends in households’ consumption and savings, and their expected financial situation.
Why Consumer Indicators are critical for your trading strategy
As an economy matures, the prominence of consumer spending becomes increasingly important. That’s why economic data that measures consumer spending and confidence deserves your attention.
According to the World Bank, household consumption accounts for around 68% of GDP in the US, and around 66% in the UK.
When considering the services sector as a whole, these proportions increase to around 80%. The industry makes up a relatively small proportion of the economy. So for both the US and UK, the consumer outlook is vital, and indicators that reflect this are considered to be very important.
In recent years, one of the big global economic stories has been the rebalancing of the Chinese economy. China has been structurally shifting away from being an investment heavy, export and manufacturing-driven economy; and re-orienting the toward a more consumer-based economy.
In 2018, household consumption only generated around 39% of GDP in China (from approximately 35% in 2010). The outlook, however, is already changing rapidly. The services sector accounts for around 52% of GDP (about 48% being industry and construction). This rebalance has further to go, and in the years ahead of the services data will provide an increasingly important view of the transition. For now, both consumer and industrial data hold similar weighting for China.
In Germany, industry and export are still critical economic factors, and consumer spending is less prominent than the US or UK. German household consumption drives around 52% of GDP, with the broader services sector around 62%. When looking at German data (which by extension impacts on the Eurozone), as with China, there is a relatively equal weighting given to industrial and consumer indicators.
Consumer spending can have a significant impact on the performance of domestic investments such as currencies, bonds and equities. The scale of the impact will vary from country to country.

The New York Civil Liberties Union has announced a new free smartphone application called Stop and Frisk Watch which encourages innocent bystanders to record police traffic stops in order to spot any human rights violations.
The app came about in response to the states “stop and frisk” activity which mostly targets minorities and almost never results in arrests.
In a statement regarding the apps release NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman revealed:
“Stop and Frisk Watch is about empowering individuals and community groups to confront abusive, discriminatory policing. The NYPD’s own data shows that the overwhelming majority of people subjected to stop-and-frisk are black or Latino, and innocent of any wrongdoing. At a time when the [Mayor Mike] Bloomberg administration vigorously defends the status quo, our app will allow people to go beyond the data to document how each unjustified stop further corrodes trust between communities and law enforcement.”
The app serves three purposes, first users can create video and audio recordings from police stops, second they can send those files to the NYCLU and third they can use a “listen” button which will tell them which areas people are being stopped at in real-time.
The Stop and Frisk Watch app comes about at a time when police stops have increased from 2002 through 2001 at a rate of 600 percent. All together 685,724 traffic stops were made in 2011. Those stops included 87 percent black or Latino residents.
In the meantime the NYPD says the app will only serve to help criminals as the “listen” function points out routine police barriers.

A bold, a bit cruel but very honest and liberated take on a girl’s experience on young love and the brutal theories and rules these high school girls make to save face, to be in control and to avoid getting hurt when it comes to boys. Never fall in love, don’t allow thyself to be called a girlfriend because girlfriend leads to goodbye and never let a boy see through one’s emotions are just some of these theories these girls legislated among themselves.
The irony is how these girls became the very victims of their own theories because let’s face it, humans, especially girls are such emotional beings and they do fall in love especially when the guy shows attributes deserving of love. So inevitably, these girls find themselves trapped in their own snare and hurt far worse than if they would have just owned up to how they truly feel. Instead, their situations only became messier than necessary.
I do like how the story ended with Aubrey, the main character leaving high school with almost a clean slate and learning early in her life to fight for the things she really wants and that girl code is supposed to exist especially among best friends. No rules or theories should make it okay to share and toss around a guy like a game and vice-versa.
This is definitely not your typical romance with a happily-ever-after and I definitely do not approve of the things these young people did. In fact, if I were still in high school I would avoid these girls like the plague but the story is very realistic and quite eye-opening and it’s why I liked it.
If anyone asks me, my rules are simple and it’s definitely what I’ll impose on my baby when he grows up. “Don’t date, don’t flirt, don’t kiss and especially don’t do the deed unless you’re done with college and has a stable and good paying job.” Lol!

Cultural and creative industries as a driver of employment – support for women in a future-oriented sector
Cultural and creative industries
Whether it is music from Senegal, animated films from South Africa or Jordanian design – the work and products of creative people play a part in the economy, drive innovation and provide a mouthpiece on important social issues such as women’s rights, social injustice, discrimination and climate change.
Internationally, cultural and creative industries rank among the four sectors of the economy with the highest employment of women. In total, this sector employs nearly 50 million people worldwide – three times as many as the global automotive industry. According to forecasts, the economic impact is also expected to triple by 2030, by which time it will account for ten per cent of global GDP.
Although the cultural and creative industries have enormous social and economic potential, this often remains untapped. There is a lack of government support, needs-based training, strong advocacy groups, appropriate funding and market access for creative professionals. Structural challenges include low wages, a lack of social protection, little copyright protection and insufficient diversity in managerial positions.
Cultural and creative professionals, particularly women, have better income and employment prospects.
In disciplines such as music, fashion, design and animation, the project is working with the Goethe-Institut to promote cultural and creative industries in Kenya, Senegal, South Africa, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq. Creative professionals, particularly women, are provided with training on topics such as entrepreneurship and digital literacy.
The project supports organisations such as industry associations, representational groups, cultural centres, festivals and networks to develop a better range of services. It also helps creative entrepreneurs to access funding and sales markets and protect their copyrights. Cross-border project activities, including participation at international conferences, festivals and trade fairs, support networking and knowledge transfer between creative professionals.

In a well-appointed examination in London, a young woman unburdens herself to a certain Dr Seligman. Though she can barely see above his head, she holds forth about her life and desires, and her struggles with her sexuality and identity. Born and raised in Germany, she has been living in London for several years, determined to break free from her family origins and her haunted homeland. In a monologue that is both razor-sharp and subversively funny, she takes us on a wide-ranging journey from outré sexual fantasies and overbearing mothers to the medicinal properties of squirrel tails and the enduring legacy of shame. With The Appointment, her audacious debut novel, Katharina Volckmer challenges our notions of what is fluid and what is fixed and injects a dose of Bernhardian snark into contemporary British fiction.
Flights, a novel about travel in the twenty-first century and human anatomy, is Olga Tokarczuk’s most ambitious to date. It interweaves travel narratives and reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration. From the seventeenth century, we have the story of the Dutch anatomist Philip Verheyen, who dissected and drew pictures of his own amputated leg. From the eighteenth century, we have the story of a North African-born slave turned Austrian courtier stuffed and put on display after his death. In the nineteenth century, we follow Chopin’s heart as it makes the covert journey from Paris to Warsaw. In the present we have the trials of a wife accompanying her much older husband as he teaches a course on a cruise ship in the Greek islands, and the harrowing story of a young husband whose wife and child mysteriously vanish on a holiday on a Croatian island. With her signature grace and insight, Olga Tokarczuk guides the reader beyond the surface layer of modernity and towards the core of the very nature of humankind.

So another song- Pig by Sparklehorse. I was considering picking Tears on Fresh Fruit, which is my other favourite song by them, but this won out.
The second half of January has been a bad time for me, with a lot of very difficult things to deal with. I’ve been low on energy for doing anything much creative. Here’s a playlist of songs I’ve been listening to lately though.
1) Continental Shelf- Viet Cong
One off the radio at work. I’m not that fussed about the whole album, but I really like this single.
2) Kingdom of Heaven (Is Within You) – The 13th Floor Elevators
From the True Detective soundtrack. The seedy side of the late 60s. It really fitted the show well.
I’ve been enjoying hermitting recently. I’ve gone out and done the odd thing and for work, but I’ve been happy to stay in the last few weeks and work on various projects, and apply for more work, and declutter junk. Sometimes these phases are nice.

Images of Typhoon No.5 (Rammasun) in 2002 were obtained by the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) developed by JAXA. AMSR-E is the instrument onboard NASA's Aqua spacecraft launched in May 2002. The images in the middle are from the four consecutive observations during July 2-4, 2002 Japan Standard Time (JST) with an interval of approximately 12 hours. The top image is a close-up view of the observation in July 4, 2:26 a.m. JST. All the top and middle images are color composites using brightness temperatures of 89.0-GHz (both vertical and horizontal polarization) and 23.8-GHz (vertical polarization) channels. Over the oceans, possible strong precipitation areas are highlighted by bright yellow; colors varying from aqua to dark blue correspond to increases of water vapor and clouds. AMSR-E observes Japan area twice a day (early-afternoon and midnight), and so provides sequential observations like in the middle figures. It can be seen that the typhoon moved toward the north with the precipitation areas getting organized in time. As of July 2, the typhoon was located out of the observation areas of Japanese ground rain radars. In the circumstances like this, satellite observations provide very important information.
Corresponding cloud images in the bottom are from the infrared observations by the Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite "Himawari" (GMS-5). By comparing the images of microwave and infrared observations, it is clear that the microwave measurement by AMSR-E can provide frequent observations of precipitation areas and land surfaces through clouds, while the infrared measurement by GMS-5 is not able to observe underlying features due to the extended clouds around the typhoon.

... out in the garden.
12th May 2013
After a long spell when it looked as though summer might be on the way a few cold rain showers have been welcome. The cold wind that delivered them was a little tiresome
but at the end of the day everything was watered and nothing blew over. The rapid oscillation between summer and winter creates the appearance of spring and perhaps that
is as much as we ever have.
Scilla verna is a common enough plant of the sea cliffs locally, though it seems to be declining. It grows in the short turf that was once maintained by rabbits.
In recent years it has been the feet of enthusiastic walkers in the early season that keep the grass low and I think they are trampling the flower spikes as they emerge.
The leaves look exactly like grass, so they can't be blamed.
My favourite population grows in the turf approaching Godrevey Lighthouse but the thick carpet of blue that once covered the ground has been reduced to a few tough
individuals. As the facilities along the coast improve, walkers are able to come out earlier and earlier in the season. The flora is experiencing a long slow death
12th May 2013
This has been the year of the Pleione. I have been adding new ones to the collection for a couple of years and many of them have flowered this spring for the first time.
I have also bought a few of the newer hybrids that should be spectacular in future years. I have been impressed by some of the orange and scarlet cultivars that are now being
selected, though most are too new to be available yet. When I look back on the season however, it is a large hybrid I saw in Ian Butterfield's greenhouse that I was most
impressed by. It had a large flared lip and the flower was shaped like a Cattleya.
The distinctive shape of the flower came from having P.aurita as a parent. The species comes from western Yunnan and has been established in cultivation in recent
years. Breeders have been busy taking the opportinity to create new flower shapes and it is also producing some interesting colour combinations.
I struggled to grow it for a few years but recently I have been keeping it moister during the summer and it is now increasing slowly.
12th May 2013
I have a shade border at the top of the garden that was constructed in a rush as a home for those things in pots that could not be accommodated any longer.
It is not especially shady and is exposed to the wind so I have been surprised by how well some of the fragile woodland plants have coped.
Uvularia have thin glaucous leaves and I was sure that the first spring gale would flatten them. I was mistaken. The wind was blowing when I took this picture.
I took it seven times before I got one in focus because the plant was blowing around but the moment the wind drops they stand up straight again. The petals are a little
less robust. I have a small collection of forms of U.grandiflora that were perfect for one summery day and were then stripped of golden petals by the breeze overnight.
U.perfoliata grows in woodland in the eastern states of the USA from Maine to Texas, though it prefers the northern part of the range and is declining in the south.
I prefer the pale primrose yellow flowers to the more strident chrome yellow of U.grandiflora but it doesn't produce very many of them among the ghostly grey sheaves of leaves.
12th May 2013
The Epimedium provide some spring cheer when the wind has stripped all the petals from the Magnolias and rain has left the Primroses prim-fallen. The important lesson I have learnt this year
is not to plant the deciduous species mixed in with the evergreens. It is a patchwork nightmare to maintain. During the winter they will be moved about so that the ground covering evergreens can
cover the ground while the deciduous ones can be mulched and marked.
E.alpinum comes from southern Europe and was introduced to cultivation in the UK around the time John Gerard was writing his herbal. It was a curiosity, though it was believed that
Barronwort might make women infertile. In the mid 17th century the apothecary John Parkinson wrote that it could be used to "keepe womens breasts from growing over great".
It has fallen out of favour in cultivation
though I think that has more to do with the arrival of a wealth of asiatic species than a change in perspective on the larger bosom.
When I first wanted it I had to search it out, but it is tenacious. I recently revisited the first garden I planted in and came away with a slender piece of rhizome prized with some difficulty
from between the bricks of a path. It is small flowered and has a certain wanderlust but I wouldn't want to be without it. There is little chance that I could achieve it if I did.

“Sacred Groove” from George Lynch came out in 1993. It is a solid album, combining instrumentals, with hard rock songs and different singers.
The best instrumental track by far on the album is “Tierra Del Fuego”. A six minute tour de force in Flamenco Hard Rock music.
Then you the D-tuned instrumental, “Love Power from the Mama Head”, which has all the trademarks riffs and licks that George Lynch is known for.
And, a nice little Western sounding number in “I Will Remember”.
The best vocal track is “We Don’t Own The World”, that has vocals by Matthew and Gunnar Nelson. Prior to hearing this track, I really had no idea who the Nelson brothers where, however after hearing the track, I sought them out and I came across their excellent “After The Rain” album.
“Flesh And Blood” has Ray Gillen on vocals. This is a rare gem as Ray was to pass away that same year.
Glenn Hughes involvement with George Lynch goes back to the Lynch Mob days, when he recorded scratch vocals on the second album, so that new singer Robert Mason could follow. On Lynch’s first proper solo outing, he sings on two songs, “Not Necessary Evil” and “Cry Of The Brave”.
“The Beast” Part 1 and Part 2 has Mandy Lion on vocals. Can’t say I am a fan. Would have been better to not include these two songs and the opening track.
This was his final album commitment to Elektra Records and a return to Dokken was in the works.
One thought on “Sacred Groove”
My bother bought this at the time on cassette tape and it was a decent enough listen but I never bought it as I was kinda burnt on the whole Dokken/Lynch Mob deal where at the time neither survived the early 90s especially Up From The Ashes..
Give George credit he was still making Music .


FACTORS INFLUENCING CONSUMER ADOPTION OF
This study focuses on the factors that influence consumer adoption of liquefied petroleum gasoline as an alternative vehicle fuel in South Africa. Numerous factors emerged from the qualitative analysis, among the most notable of which was the influence of fuel cost savings. It was found that fleet operations achieved significant reductions in fuel theft, through liquefied petroleum gasoline uptake. The environmental benefit derived from LPG as an alternative fuel for vehicles was considered to be of far less consequence in the adoption decision process.

As TV chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Nigel Slater increase our awareness of where our food comes from, many of us are becoming more conscious about using natural ingredients in our food and knowing how our meals have been made. Progressively we are passing our concerns onto our canine’s dinners as well. A healthy diet is just as important for our canines as it is for us with balanced nutrition leading to a healthy and happy dog.
