Bajaj Dominar 400 2017 | Review,mileage,price,slipper clutch.
Hello Guys! Welcome to the passion Welcome to the HBR MOTO today i have something very exciting to show you as you can see but before we move to the real review The first owner of this bike in Chandigarh Mr. Krishna So how was your experience as a first owner of this bike **in chandigarh Actually i was willing for this bike when it was a ds400 and lots of time i thought like this is my last choice,this is my last choice but finally dominar is my last choice and i am really happy so in short he want a bike that he want to cruise to the roads and go to the office and this was the choice of him i want to congratulate every single engineer Designer ,everyone who put their efforts to make dominar happen. and specially within the price tag of… 1.36 lakh Rupees ex showroom delhi for the non-abs version and 1.5 lakh for twin channel abs version and second important thing is that i am not going to any conclusion on this bike because i didnt ride it for it long ride and off course i am not paid by bajaj or any brand specially any dealership now lets get started fristly talk about specifications it comes with 373.27cc,single cylinder liquid cooled fuel injection engine It gives the max power 35bhp @ 8,000rpm And the max torque 30nm @ 6,500rpm official top speed 148kmph but I think bike can perform more than that. Now let’s talk about the technologies which is used in this bike and advantges that I am excited to share with you first of all slipper clutch in this price segment yes bajaj make it happens if you don’t know about slipper clutch let me give you information that how it works suppose you are going on high speed on top gear and accidentally or somehow I dropped the gears at high speed which make the rear wheel locked as badly it can turn bike will skid and make me fall very badly in the non slipper clutch bike but in this bike there is a technology which will not let that happen there is a special unit with gearbox when you drop your gears it will start working until your rear wheel speed or rpm is going to match the engine rpm Make your bike more controlled and stable and make your safe And second exciting thing is Aho led headlamps aho stands for automatic headlamps on .It doesn’t have any switch to turn it off when engine start headlights will automatically on and talking about the design of headlamp its quite promising almost as shown in the auto expo 2014 and this headlights make this bike more visible on road more safe for rider for the longer rides Lets talk about it’s speedometer Its split reverse lcd display speedometer with a lot of special functionalities like current time,abs indication ,side stand,oil temperature,rev limit indicator etc one thing is missing in this panel that is current gear indicator This bike has twin channel abs with bybyre callipers many riders feel that brakes should be more better than current ones but again I am not going to make decision or conclusion on this bike ,only time will conclude this bike Bajaj take fit n finish far better ,still a little things which could be better than know i am going to tell you about that little things Firstly vibrations on high revs specially in handlebar and this bike is quite heavy ,it weighs 182 kg ,19 kg heavier than ktm duke 390 and I feel really good amount of windblast after 120kmph ,and its front suspensions are conventional but for the better stability usd (upside down)suspensions are required usd is very good for offroading,harsh condtions like potholes etc ,people feel brking could be more better but you can ignore these things with the price tag itself Compare to the other bikes in this price tag even if you are looking for even cbr 150 you can afford this bike by putting only more 6 thousand in your budget for non abs version and for the abs version of dominar its cheaper than the cbr 250 standard version but keep in mind that cbr is more aerodynamically friendly bike means you will not feel not that much air blast that you are going to feel on dominar but again engine wise there is absolute no competiton in the indian market and compare to duke 390 power its 7ps lower but by torque its almost the same and its powerful than mojo ,duke 200,duke 250 and rc 200.and offcourse its more better than royal enfield himalyan in the terms of engine I hope bajaj servicing is going to better because this bike need to be more care than other normal bikes In short with this price tag its an exceptional bike from all and very much tourer and long ride friendly .

Check out the latest videos from Turbo Fruits and PUJOL! They compliment each other, so make sure to watch both, in the order I have it. Then follow Turbo Time Records on twitter! Then maybe buy a 7" or two, they are both really good. I am TOTALLY not biased about the 'Where The Stars Don't Shine' 7" since a photograph I took is on the cover...I'm way to modest for that. PUJOL's 'Alive At The Same Time' is sick, so get it, I hear there are only a few copies left!
Turbo Fruits - "Where The Stars Don't Shine"
PUJOL - "Butterfly Knife"
Pujol is definitely in my top 10 favorite acts from CMJ.
Get into it.
They are currently together this month. I strongly suggest you try and make it out to one of their shows. Dance and have fun!

Fear, greed, and cowardice have a way of sullying things like medical breakthroughs. In the mid-1990s, the antiviral drugs that checked the AIDS crisis separated the meaning of “HIV positive” from full-blown AIDS because, for the first time, the existence of the virus in the blood was not a death sentence. That was a triumph of an unprecedented amount of focused research, largely paid for by government agencies like the National Institutes of Health. But it felt like a miracle.
In Fire in the Blood, his documentary on the pharmaceutical keep-away that perpetuated the AIDS emergency in Africa and elsewhere, director Dylan Mohan Gray describes how protective patent laws guaranteed not only profits for drug companies but also the deaths of more than 10 million AIDS sufferers. He maintains a merciless calm throughout, aided by William Hurt’s low, slow, careful narration, as he documents a case of stupendous disregard for humanity.
Because miracles are wondrous and rare and patents are ironclad, drug companies could charge $15,000 per person per year for the new cocktail. That gouged anyone who could pay it—health insurance companies, the well-off and well-insured, government programs like Medicaid and Medicare—and left out anyone who couldn’t. Yet even if they had charged just five cents per pill, the companies would have still seen a profit, a fact that is just one of many maddening details in this story.
Gray’s images are exquisite and unsparing, in the style of the best National Geographic photography. Especially disheartening is the helplessness of doctors, who knew about the combination therapy but couldn’t offer it to their patients. “There were nonstop funerals taking place on a daily basis. The orphan population had exploded,” says Peter Mugyenyi, a Ugandan physician. “I saw so many people who’d have lived. I saw them die painfully, excruciatingly, and yet their death was not inevitable.”
The film’s sources maintain impressive composure in relating the repeated obstructions, sophistries, and obfuscations they faced, but their frustration is palpable. The drug companies cowed the United States, the United Nations, and us all, really, with ludicrous arguments that stoked fears and abetted inaction. It took years and a great deal of stubbornness for a coterie of smart, caring, connected people from all over the world, including Bill Clinton and Nelson Mandela, to finally begin to deliver the drugs to stem what was, essentially, a genocide. (In the film, Clinton pulls a fast one that helps turn things around.) While it’s hardly a joy to watch, Fire in the Blood is artful in nearly every frame, perhaps so we don’t avert our eyes. We can’t; Big Pharma is relentless and, thanks to a new international trade agreement that once again favors its patents, this isn’t over.


There are things you can maintain on your car by yourself and things that only your mechanic can touch (unless you have mechanic training yourself). There are also systems that only your technician can handle, specifically your car computer, the errors it displays, and maintenance of the different sensors of your vehicle.
Your brake pedal, for example, should not be pumped on a car with ABS or Antilock Braking System. Just step on it normally once and let the ABS controller handle the rest when it comes to opening and closing valves. Extra pumps add undue pressure to the system so just trust the ABS to maintain the integrity of your brakes.
Dealing with Modern Cars and Their Newest Features
- Getting Used to Technological Advances: If you're used to driving vintage cars from the 1990s and back, then you might do unnecessary things when you're suddenly tasked to drive a 2000s or 2010s hybrid or any modern car with a computer. Like spinning your steering wheel excessively when you have power steering. Or thinking that your AB System requires service or maintenance (it usually doesn't until it breaks down).
- ABS Steering Is Automatic: When your dashboard's ABS light is activated or an error message is displayed on your console, then that means the system is disabled because of a system error. That's when your AB System is disabled and requires diagnosis and repair from an expert. A disabled ABS means you can't stop and steer your vehicle while it skids. Your brakes will lock and you'll have to wait the skid out, which can be dangerous on icy roads.
- Computer Consoles and Error Messages: Other errors can pop up on your console like if your headlights are broken, your battery is dead, your spark plugs have issues, you need to change your oil, and so forth. Usually, you need to look up the message on your user manual to know what it is. Barring that, the technician for your car can figure it out. Or you can look it up on the Internet. At any rate, it pays to have this computer and its sensors alert you when something is wrong in advance.
- Advances Like Power Steering Require Their Own Liquids: The more systems that are added to the modern car, the more different lubes you'll need aside from oil to keep them working. Power steering has its own fluids to keep tabs on, along with the brake and clutch. You should change them every 50,000 miles. Ditto with differentials and transfer case fluids. As for transmission and engine coolant fluids, they wear out every 30,000 miles. Engine oil should be replaced every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.


Configure your devices to send events to SEM
After you install SEM and determine the types of log files to be monitored, ensure your devices are configured to send log data to SEM. SEM does not automatically scan your environment for network devices and systems and start collecting and analyzing log files. You must configure identified devices and systems to send log data of interest, and then add those devices to SEM.
If you are seeing so much data coming into SEM that it seems meaningless, or you are not seeing data at all, then ensure you have:
- Determined which logs are important for you to monitor.
- Verified that the devices and systems have been configured to send that data.
For example, the following graphic shows a section of a sample audit policy for a workstation. If you are expecting Plug and Play events to be written to the log file and the policy is set to No Auditing, then those events are not sent to SEM.
Find information on adding a syslog device to SEM here, and configuring the corresponding connector here. For additional guidance, refer to your vendor documentation or contact SolarWinds Customer Support.
About syslog local facilities
When you configure the events and logging level on a syslog device, you may have the option to specify the local facility that receives the log data. While all syslog devices have default facilities defined for logs, the option to specify the local facility depends on the device. Check with the device vendor for information on how to configure your network device. Make note of the local facility because you need it when you configure a connector to read the applicable syslog file. If you are unsure of which local facility is receiving log data, check your device.
See Understanding syslog in SEM for more information on configuring your syslog device to send log data to SEM.

I’ve been on a slushie kick lately. After making orange creamsicle slushies half a dozen times, I thought I’d switch it up a bit. The strawberries are super sweet this time of year, so I knew I wanted to use those. And we nearly always have oranges or orange juice on hand. So, the Strawberry Orange Cream Slushie was born.
You probably have these ingredients in your kitchen right now: strawberries, orange juice, orange slices, sugar and milk. Easy peasy.
We froze the strawberries before we got started. Although that normally cuts down on the amount of ice you’ll use, it didn’t in this case. Way too fruity without a little watering down.
Toss all the ingredients in the blender and pulse for about two minutes. Don’t it look tasty before you even get started?
Go another minute or two if your ice is too chunky. I like most of my slushies to be more creamy than icy, with the exception being this cherry slushie.
Pour into a glass, garnish with strawberries and orange slices, and drink up! Sorry, I forgot the straws. Oops!
Strawberry Orange Cream Slushie
- 5-6 large strawberries frozen
- 3-4 orange slices
- 1 c. orange juice
- 1/4 c. milk
- 3 tbsp. sugar
- 10-12 ice cubes
- Add the strawberries, orange slices, orange juice, milk and sugar to the blender with 10-12 pieces of ice. If your blender is small, cut the strawberries in half first.
- Pulse for 2-4 minutes, until the slushie is the consistency that you like. After two minutes, the ice will still be chunky, but for a creamy slushie, 3-4 minutes is best.
- Pour into glasses and garnish with strawberries and orange wedges.

Kristen Stewart looked like she could put a vampire bite on someone at the Vanity Fair screening for her new film “On the Road.” She wore a super chic outfit that was casual but still fashionable, from her tight leather pants to her flame red lipstick.
She capped off her outfit with a gray and black blazer, and drew comparisons to her hot vampire character in “Breaking Dawn, Part 2.”
Stewart, 22, has been putting extra effort into promoting the indie film and some have speculated that it could land her an Oscar nod.
But the film only received so-so reviews when it was screen at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, so it remains to be seen how well it will do at the box office and at awards programs.
Kristen, however, is doing everything she can to make sure people know about it. She’s already hit premieres in New York and Los Angeles. The film hits theaters Dec. 21.
The Vanity Fair party, held at the George Lucas’s Skywalker Ranch outside San Francisco. Co-star Garrett Hedlund and girlfriend Kirsten Dunst, who also appears in the picture, were there. Stewart’s beau Robert Pattinson, was a no show.
But the “Twilight” duo were spotted partying hard at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles following the LA premiere of the movie Dec. 6.
Check out her photos above and click here to follow TheImproper on Twitter for more Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson updates you can trust.

Millions of children step out of poverty simply by going to school. But no child can take that step on an empty stomach and with an empty schoolbag. It takes nutritious food, uniform and books to learn and grow healthily.
Tradition in rural Bangladesh discourages girls from attending school, however, so it has taken tremendous courage for Mamy to get this far. Next year, she will be the first girl in her family to pass the national secondary school exams – if she can stay in education.
“My parents can’t give me a school dress and the teachers in the school hit us in front of all the students if we don’t wear one,” says Mamy. “Very often, I’ve cried on my own when I’ve seen all the others going to school with school dresses on, but I can’t.”
She adds: “I can’t buy schoolbooks or a school dress, I can’t pay my tuition fees and many days pass without a meal.
With no alternative, Mamy’s sisters married at a young age and her parents have mentioned the same fate for her.
Speaking earnestly, she adds: “I dream of being a nurse and doing a good job, but the lack of financial support now may blow out any candle of hope.”

William Shatner confirmed for Season 7 Voice ActorFebruary 3, 2017, 3:45 PM
GeekBrony ❘ 0
Blog Post, Fandom, Season 7, This Just In!, Update
Known for his portrayal of James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise, William Shatner began hinting at pony things last year. Back then, we weren’t sure if he was a fan of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series or talking about it as an “it’s hip so I must like it” kind of deal.
Well, actually, now that I think about it, he did unveil that he could be a voice after Big Jim asked about it last year, but we didn’t hear much about it.
Lately, Shatner has been talking about My Little Pony more openly on Twitter, and it was more news than even I expected.
That’s right – not only did William Shatner confirm that he will have an appearance on it, but all the parts have already been recorded!
So now we’ll have to wait in anticipation and see what type of story will be told with Shatner as a character.


Up until now you were stuck with a fork with a factory tune - if you wanted to change that you would have to have a full fork service all the way to the damper and have it re-shimmed. It could be a hit or miss and is not cost effective to be doing it frequently.
The CTS is a game changer - it gives you pro level adjustment quickly and easily. There is 7 CTS valves all with a specific tune to suit a wide range of preferences and riding style. From full plush to race firm progressive - it's so easy to change that you can have one setup for the weekend race and back to the comfort valve on your regular rides.
You will need the CTS specific removal and installation tool, 10mm socket and a hex wrench.
- Gold - Special Soft, closest to the industry "standard" setup
- Orange - Special firm, more progression, more sensitivity in first 2cm of travel
- Green - Race with support at the expense of comfort
- Silver - Max comfort - Excellent low speed comfort but with enough ramp at the end of the stroke
- Blue - Comfort and support
- Red - Race with mildness - Race mode with high speed support
- Electric Blue -Ebikers, dealing with more mass and heavier loads throughout
Here is the link to the detailed charts for all the CTS valves - here

“Funny Girl” is Barbra Streisand’s show, and that’s half the battle of bringing it back to Broadway without her. Fanny Brice is the role that makes her a star. She originates the role of Brice, a vaudeville comedian, on Broadway and later wins an Oscar for its film adaptation. “Don’t Rain on My Parade” becomes one of her signature songs and “hello, gorgeous” one of her signature lines. “Funny Girl” is not revived on Broadway after Streisand appears in it because it is assumed that no other actress can sing a song like “I’m the Greatest Star” and convince an audience that it’s true like Babs can … until nearly 60 years later.
December 2009: ‘Glee’ airs Lea Michele’s first ‘Funny Girl’ song
It’s the mid-season finale of the first season of “Glee,” and theater kids everywhere are glued to Fox. The episode is set at show choir sectionals, and our McKinley High School glee club is determined to shed their underdog status and finally win something.
June 2010: Michele appears on the Tonys to sing ‘Parade,’ again
June 2011: A ‘Funny Girl’ revival is planned without Michele
February 2014: A fictional ‘Funny Girl’ revival comes to ‘Glee’
In “Glee’s” fifth season, Michele’s Rachel moves to New York and devotes her life to scoring the lead in a revival of “Funny Girl.” Her frenemy and former glee club teammate Santana Lopez (played by the late Naya Rivera) is also vying for the lead role. Rachel ends up getting cast, but so does Santana — as Rachel’s understudy. The producers of this fictional revival say the competition between the two will drum up buzz for the show — and years before the real-life “Funny Girl” revival makes it to Broadway, art imitates life.


Rabbi Michael Broyde’s defense of the Equality Act two weeks ago betrays a complete disregard for the implications and consequences of this proposed law. This nefarious act would severely hamper those of us who adhere to traditional religious values.
Rabbi Broyde asks rhetorically: “Should we allow Jews to discriminate in business against fellow Jews who intermarry? Should we be allowed, for example, to refuse to hire an intermarried Jew to paint our home?”
He is conflating two distinct issues. No, a Jew may not discriminate against an intermarried Jew at work. If an intermarried couple walks into a store to make a purchase, it should be illegal to deny the couple service. However, when it comes to hiring a private contractor who will enter my home, I have the right to make choices.
For example, Jewish law expects me to try to hire a Jew, preferably one who lives locally. I certainly have the privilege to favor a halachically-married Jew over one who has opted to violate a basic precept of our faith. And if someone has a “Shomer Shabbos” sign on his store, I absolutely will patronize his establishment over one that is open on Shabbos.
Yet, more critically, Rabbi Broyde’s example misses the point. The issue is not whether one has the right to deny service to someone who is, say, intermarried or homosexual. The issue is whether one is required to legitimize his non-halachic status or behavior by, for example, photographing his wedding.
Let us consider the famous Masterpiece Bakeshop v. Colorado case. Storeowner Jack Phillips refused to bake a unique wedding cake for a same-sex couple. The two men sued, asserting that the bakery discriminated against them because they were homosexual.
But the baker’s decision was not based on their homosexuality. Phillips would have gladly sold the two men any cake that they desired. What he refused to do, as a conscientious Christian, was bake a wedding cake that would highlight the fact that the two were of the same sex. That is not discrimination at all! He simply refused to bake a cake that championed what was, to him, a sin.
There is no doubt that had two heterosexual men decided to “marry” and asked Phillips to bake a wedding cake for them with two male figurines on top, he would have declined. Conversely, had a homosexual man and homosexual woman decided to wed each other, Phillips would have accepted their cake order. The issue for Phillips was not the proclivities of the couple; it was the nature of the ceremony.
If a Jew and a non-Jew wish to hire an Orthodox caterer for their wedding, the caterer can, and should, decline the job on religious grounds. I am certain that scenarios of this sort occur regularly. It would seem logical that a person cannot be forced to choose between maintaining his profession and violating a sincerely-held religious belief.
The Equality Act – passed by the House but not yet by the Senate – would do away with the caterer’s rights. If he declines to service an intermarrying couple, he would be in violation of Federal law. It requires little stretch of the imagination to conceive the dire implications if the Equality Act becomes law.
The LGBT lobby has convinced many lawmakers that if a person opposes absolute moral equivalence between heterosexuality and homosexuality, he is a hater. In other words, Barack Obama – who opposed same-sex marriage until 2012 – was until that time a hater, equivalent in all ways to those who supported racist laws against blacks during the era of segregation!
And the four Supreme Court justices who voted against legalizing same-sex marriage were also all haters. We must use all our resources to counter this vile notion.
Rabbi Broyde insists that “the LGBT community” is going to win this fight. Therefore, he suggests, rather than making enemies, we should “live and let live.” The problem is that the radical LGBT lobby will not live and let live. It is trying to force us to recognize deviant lifestyles as normal. We must never do that. We must not assume they will win, and we must not give up.


Almost all newer 56K modems use either a 3COM chipset, a Rockwell chipset, or a Lucent chipset. Computer manufacturers do not make modems, they buy 56K modems and sometimes rename them as their own. Compaq computers, for example, have 56K modems that use either the Lucent chipset(56K DF) or the Rockwell chipset(HCF), while some Gateway computers use the 3COM chipset.
Even most modem manufacturers do not make their own 56K chipsets. They simply buy the chips and build their own modems, making modifications to specific components of the modems to add additional features like distinctive ring, or caller id.
This might bring up the question: Why a is there such a huge difference
Answer: There are many components that make up a modem, not just the chipset. When you buy a hi-end 56K modem, you are paying for the class "A" circuitry, a good printed circuit board, product support, additional features, and to some extent, the brand name. When you buy a low-end 56K modem you are not likely get these features or regularly updated drivers.
In the 56K modem world, DRIVERS ARE EVERYTHING! This cannot be stressed enough. There are reports of many people who couldn't make a 56K connection, or a connection at all, until they upgraded their modem's drivers. Why is this? 56K modems and the V.90 standard are still a new technology. Driver upgrade improvements are made all the time for better connection rates, more stability, better compatibility, etc...
If you know what chipset your modem uses, you can try a initialization string to improve your connect rates. You should also be able to disable V.90 / 56-K Flex / X2 to connect using the V.34(28.8) protocol. This may be necessary in some cases. Click here to go to our 56K modem initialization page.
Most modems with the ESS, Cirrus, and PCtel chipsets are HSP "software" or "Windows" modems. HSP stands for Host Signal Processing. This refers to the modem using the host computersí processor in place of a dedicated chip on the modem to perform the Digital Signal Processing (DSP). Modems implementing one of these "software" chipsets use your CPU for some functions normally handled by the modem itself. A "hardware" modem will do all error correction, compression, data correction etc., on board since these functions are build into the modem itself. A HSP "Windows" modem or "software" modem will use your CPU to do these functions.
NOTE: Lucent and Rockwell chipset modems are also "Windows" modems, but they are not HSP modems and require much less CPU usage in order for the modem to operate correctly. A PCtel, ESS, or Cirrus chipset modem can require considerable CPU usage in order to operate correctly.
The following came straight from PCtel's web site:
"The following outlines the minimum computer system requirements for modems utilizing our technology.
Intel Pentium Based computer
In order to run a PC-TEL HSP based modem as 28.8Kbps or 33.6Kbps you should have a Pentium class 75MHz CPU with 256K cache and 8MB RAM. For systems running a Cyrix processor we recommend a 100MHz CPU or higher.
In order to run a PC-TEL HSP based 56K modem we recommend that you have a Pentium class 166MHz with 256K cache and 16MB RAM. For systems running a Cyrix processor we recommend a 200MHz CPU or higher.
486 Class Processors
We do not support 486 Class processors due to lack of performance capabilities."
As you can see, the system requirements for the HSP type chipset to work at all are rather high.  Due to the high system requirements, and general compatibility problems, we cannot recommend these types of modems at all!
For driver information for a modem using the PCtel chipset, please try: PCtel's "who made my modem" page.
For driver information for a modem using the ESS chipset, please try: ESS's driver update page.
NOTE: Cirrus recently announced they will no longer make modem chipsets. They have sold this portion of the company to Ambient Technologies. New modems manufactured by Ambient Technologies are DSP or "hardware" based modems so the problems associated with the older Cirrus HSP chipsets will not apply to these modems.
Since Cirrus no longer makes modem chipsets you will likely have problems finding drivers. You can try Windrivers.com. Select your modem manufacturer for more information.

Located at an altitude of 2,095 meters, Ghale Gaun is the ancestral home of the famous Gurung people. This beautiful village offers community-based homestay facilities providing a unique experience in a typical village in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The village is located at around a hundred and twenty-five kilometers north-east of Pokhara.
Situated along a section of the popular Annapurna Circuit, reaching this unspoiled habitat at the foot of the mountains is an adventure in itself. On an easy trek done in strikingly beautiful surroundings, one has to pass through Gurung settlements, forests, rivers & streams, and waterfalls. To reach there, the first route goes from Besisahar to Baglung Pani to Kapurgaun and to Ghale Gaun. Another one is from Besisahar to Khudi to Simpani to Ghale Gaun – which is the preferred route of many trekkers. Apart from these two, there are at least a few other routes, too.
From the village, one can have majestic panoramic views of Annapurna II (7,939m), Annapurna IV (7,525m), Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Himalchuli (6,747m), Manaslu (8,163m) and Machhapuchchhre (6,997 meters). Once you reach here, the accommodations are anything but luxurious; but they are indeed comfortable – fit for trekkers who want to bring some rest to their muscles. Be prepared for ethnic food here – no fancy breakfast of sorts, no sausages and bacon, no chips either. Locally produced food like cereals, milk and dairy, vegetables, eggs and meat, are prepared and served twice a day. And, it is completely normal for your host didi to sprinkle some ghyu (ghee) over your plate of steaming rice!
Here, people still follow traditional cultural practices – ones that encompass births, deaths, marriages, and other indigenous rituals. As a form of merry-making, locals still perform cultural dances using traditional musical instruments, wearing traditional hand-woven dresses.
An easy trek to Ghale Gaun and back takes around 5 to 6 days from Kathmandu. Nestled in alpine valleys, this village is best trekked during autumn to early winter, and also in spring to early summer. Offering a mosaic of experience in culture, environmental beauty, and panoramic views of the famed Himalayan ranges, this trek will enrich you like nothing else.
In recent years, Ghale Gaun has attracted tremendous attention among foreign and domestic visitors. One reason could be the ease of travel, and second, it simply could be the likes of Himalayan giants lined up, waiting to be photographed! Such pristine is the beauty on all sides, that no matter which of the several routes you prefer to take, you will always be traveling with beautiful landscape in view.
Experience a wonderful trek to Ghale Gaun with Orbit Alpine.

The Forks Township Board of Supervisors will consider awarding a contract for work on the new public works building tonight.
The meeting is set for 7:30pm in the municipal complex at 1606 Sullivan Trail.
, supervisors tabled a vote on the estimated $3.7 million facility after questions arose over wording within the contract for architectural firm Kimmel-Bogrette. According to the contract, Kimmel-Bogrette could charge overrun construction fees at $15,000 per issue for design changes, omissions and unforeseen conditions. Kimmel-Bogrette’s fees have been capped off at $408,000, according to project specifications. The board is concerned that these charges could contribute in taking the project over budget in the long run. The board has until Sept. 25 to award the contract.
, the supervisors delayed voting on bids for the 23,000-square-foot project after they came in more than $1 million the estimated cost. As it stands, the project could cost at least $4.75 million, which was the lowest proposal presented in July.
This is the second time bids have come in higher than expected. In February, the lowest total was $5.29 million. At that time, the township received 12 bids -- compared with the latest submission of 29 bids.
On Sept. 2, the supervisors tabled the awarding of the contract to general contractor Gordon H. Baver Inc. of Pennsburg (Montgomery County). Baver submitted the second-lowest bid at $4.8 million.
Perrotto Builders Ltd. of Blue Bell (Montgomery County) submitted the lowest bid but did not receive the township’s okay after several pending lawsuits -- including three multimillion-dollar suits -- appeared in the background check performed by township solicitor Karl Kline. The firm failed to include this information in its proposal, Kline said. The township asks companies to include a five-year history of lawsuits with their proposals, he said.
Reference checks did not come back favorably and the company's financial statements raised serious questions about its ability to perform the job on budget, Kline added.

Life implies change. And this holds true for genes as well. Organisms require a flexible genome in order to adapt to changes in the local environment.
Christian Schlötterer and his team from the Institute for Population Genetics at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna study the genomes of entire populations. The scientists want to know why individuals differ from each other and how these differences are encoded in the DNA.
Christian Schlötterer and his colleagues are searching for variation in the genomes of fruitflies.

In two review papers published in the journals Nature Reviews Genetics and Heredity, they discuss why DNA sequencing of entire groups can be an efficient and cost-effective way to answer these questions.
DNA analysis has become increasingly efficient and cost-effective since the human genome was first fully sequenced in the year 2001. Sequencing a complete genome, however, still costs around US$1,000. Sequencing the genetic code of hundreds of individuals would therefore be very expensive and time-consuming. In particular for non-human studies, researchers very quickly hit the limit of financial feasibility.
Sequencing groups instead of individuals
The solution to this problem is pool sequencing (Pool-Seq). Schlötterer and his team sequence entire groups of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) at once instead of carrying out many individual sequencing reactions. While the resulting genetic information cannot be attributed to a single individual, the complete data set still provides important genetic information about the entire population.
In the two publications, Schlötterer and colleagues discuss the breadth of questions that can be addressed by Pool-Seq.
Searching for the building blocks of evolution
In order to understand how organisms react to changes in the local environment, the genomes of entire populations can be analysed using Pool-Seq, before and after changed conditions. To do so, the researchers use the method of evolve and resequence (E&R). Schlötterer received an ERC Advanced Grant for this approach in 2012. E&R is a method in which the DNA of a group of individuals is sequenced. After exposing the descendents of this group for several generations to a certain stress, such as high temperature, extreme cold or UV radiation, and the evolved group is then sequenced again. A comparison of the two data sets uncovers genes that have changed in response to the selective stress. The approach makes it possible, for example, to filter out the genes that are involved in a darker pigmentation in response to UV radiation.
“Using this principle, we can perform evolution experiments at high speed. We are using this method to address a broad range of questions, ranging from the identification of genes which influence aging, or genes protecting against diseases and finally to understand the genetic changes which reduce the impact of climate change,” Schlötterer explains.
Uncovering the genetics of aging and disease resistance
The evolve-and-resequence approach also makes it also possible to filter out the genes that regulate aging. This process involves selecting flies from a population, repeatedly over generations, that reach an especially old age. Several generations later, the researchers then compare the genomes of the “Methuselah” flies with those from normally aging flies in order to extract the genes that are involved in the aging process. This method also works to locate genes that provide resistance against certain diseases.
Bioinformatician and co-author, Robert Kofler, explains: “We are dealing with genetic change processes and are searching for variations in the genomes. The variations can help us to understand how evolution works.”
Population geneticists trained in Vienna
Schlötterer heads the “Vienna Graduate School of Population Genetics” hosted by the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna. The doctoral program fills the gap between theoretical and experimental population genetics. 22 PhD students are currently conducting research in Vienna in the field of theoretical and experimental population genetics, bioinformatics, and statistics. http://www.popgen-vienna.at

Graphene, a two-dimensional structure made of carbon, is a material with excellent mechanical, electronic and optical properties. However, it did not seem suitable for magnetic applications. Together with international partners, Empa researchers have now succeeded in synthesizing a unique nanographene predicted in the 1970s, which conclusively demonstrates that carbon in very specific forms has magnetic properties that could permit future spintronic applications. The results have just been published in the renowned journal Nature Nanotechnology.

Abnormal scarring is a serious threat resulting in non-healing chronic wounds or fibrosis. Scars form when fibroblasts, a type of cell of connective tissue, reach wounded skin and deposit plugs of extracellular matrix. Until today, the question about the exact anatomical origin of these fibroblasts has not been answered. In order to find potential ways of influencing the scarring process, the team of Dr. Yuval Rinkevich, Group Leader for Regenerative Biology at the Institute of Lung Biology and Disease at Helmholtz Zentrum München, aimed to finally find an answer. As it was already known that all scars derive from a fibroblast lineage expressing the Engrailed-1 gene - a lineage not only present in skin, but also in fascia - the researchers intentionally tried to understand whether or not fascia might be the origin of fibroblasts.

I have a very basic question.
I'm connecting a length of galvanized pipe with a 90 degree elbow that connects to another length of galvanized pipe. I need to ensure the elbow points in the proper direction to match up with another elbow 10 feet away. If I tighten the elbow as much as I can it points the wrong way.
Is the proper procedure to tighten as much as possible and then to back it off a bit to achieve the proper angle? And rely upon pipe compound for a water tight fit ?

September 17, 2007 — NanoRite, a $5 million center designed to house and advance business ventures in the ultrasmall, opened August 24, 2007 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Bill Ihlenfeldt, president of Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) and leader of the effort to build the center, said it will “be a catalyst for substantial economic growth.”
Wisconsin Secretary of Commerce Mary Burke said NanoRite will serve the entire state. “It’s going to move Wisconsin forward.” She said Wisconsin has stemmed the loss of manufacturing jobs and has grown exports 50 percent faster than nation in general — and she attributes both trends to Wisconsin’s emphasis on education. The Center will serve as an incubator and abuts the CVTC manufacturing campus on Alpine Road.
Jack Uldrich, whose consulting firm NanoVeritas months ago advised Ihlenfeldt and the CVTC board not to undertake a center that would be purely nano-oriented, said that a few years ago he spoke to a large audience of college presidents and several approached him afterwards to have him speak at their campuses on the economic future of nanotechnology.
But of that large group, Uldrich said only Ihlenfeldt had put a plan into action and built a nano facility. Only when a vision is turned into action do you change the world, the consultant said.
Partnerships, a hallmark of Dr. Ihlenfeldt’s 13 years as CVTC president, are the stuff of progress. Jeff Halloin, a principal in the Gateway Technology Park that donated land to CVTC for the facility, said the “Chippewa Valley does partnerships very well.”
Although western Wisconsin doesn’t have a research university, cooperation with intellectual talent like Dr. Forest Schultz of University of Wisconsin-Stout, and Dr. Doug Dunham of the UW-Eau Claire, and Hans Mikelson and Dr. John Wagner of CVTC will achieve the same or more, Ihlenfeldt said. Wagner only recently left the top technical post at Cray Computer to join the CVTC Nanoscience Technology faculty.
NanoRite’s first tenant is OEM Micro, a unit of OEM Fabricators of Woodville. OEM, a rapidly growing machine shop, has embarked on the new venture to address opportunities arising from the concentration of Twin Cities manufacturers of medical devices. Other tenants are now sought and Ihlenfeldt said two prospects might convert soon.
Micromachining, a technology that employs Swiss Screw machinery with its ultrafine cutting and fast spindle speeds, is one of the three major technology groups in NanoRite. Microfabrication, including photoetching, is another. Nanotechnology is the third.
The Eau Claire County Board and the Eau Claire City Council and numerous other organizations public and private helped fund the Center.
Jim Mortwedt is communications manager at Chippewa Valley Technical College.

When my friend Sarah asked us to meet for a playdate the other day, I thought Westwood Hills would be the perfect location. Tory's preschool recommended it for a fun summer activity for kids but short of "nature center" and "free," I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
Getting there was a bit confusing. The nature center is situated in the middle in a neighborhood, so I wondered if my phone GPS was leading me astray. The entrance to the nature center wasn't clearly marked either, but I finally found it after circling around a bit. Once we pulled into the parking lot, I was pleasantly surprised to find beautifully wooded trees and paths, plus a playground structure and picnic tables. There wasn't anyone working at the building pavilion so I wished I'd have downloaded a map from the nature center's website beforehand. My friend Sarah and I weren't sure if the paths looped and connected together and there'd be nothing worse than being stuck in the woods with screaming kids and no clue how to get out! In the end, we figured out the main path made a loop around Westwood Lake with some picturesque views along the way.
As we walked, Sarah, the kids and I came upon a turtle pond where we spotted one lonely turtle in a sea of mossy green water. We also came across an apiary, known also as a bee yard. Sarah is a former elementary school teacher and luckily knew a (surprising!) amount of information about honey bees. Enough to answer Tory and her little friend Charlie's questions, at least. Informational signage about the bees would've been nice, but that's probably my marketing brain at work.
As we continued down the trail, we asked a lady walking by how long it took to loop around. She said about a 1/2 hour, and ha hahahha ... that may be the case without eight little legs tagging along. Total time around took us about 2 hours. The walk was absolutely beautiful though, with lots of shade along the wood chips, boardwalks and hard surface paths. It was very manageable pushing a stroller.
It was only the last stretch of trail that the kids began to fuss a bit, so Sarah and I piled them all in the strollers and pushed through as quickly as we could. We didn't see many animals along our walk, but it was still a nice change of pace from typical playdates to the playground. We'll definitely go back to Westwood Hills again, and next time I'll build in extra time for a picnic lunch and play time on the playground equipment too.

Eastern sounds and dissonant layers, heavy drumming, NY and Chicago noise (from Sonic Youth to Big Black) but we like Led Zeppelin, too. We've been described as "Neil Young meets Joy Division" and there may be some truth in that. We layer harmonic dissonance guitars over solid rock and post-punk structures to represent a kind of dream language ... the results so far have been a powerful, intense, experimental sound.

Calling for more volunteers!
Cultural Fair – Year One and Two
Thursday 10th August – 9-10am School Hall
Our guided inquiry topic this term is Social Justice. As a part of our exploration into the concept of Social Justice, we are focusing on multiculturalism and the development of empathy, understanding and interest in those from different cultures.
In order to explore the cultures that exist in our school, we are organising a ‘Cultural Fair’ for the Year One and Two classes on Thursday 10th August. We are inviting all parents, grandparents and friends to be presenters at our fair.
Presenters will be asked to share their knowledge and experiences of a particular culture to small groups of children. During the fair, the children will be rotating around to the various ‘stalls’ to learn as much as they can about the various cultural backgrounds that exist in our school community.
You are more than welcome to team up with another parent and present information on your culture together!
Examples of what you may present are;
– cooking demonstration / foods from other cultures
– traditional dance, instruments or music
– traditional games
– items of cultural significance
– traditional clothing or costumes
– photographs of significant buildings / places
– books or songs in another language
Please return the attached form by Friday 28th July to your class teacher if you are able to attend.
We are looking forward to having many of our families represented at our Cultural Fair and just know that the children will REALLY appreciate your efforts … if you are feeling nervous or unsure please do not hesitate to let us know and we will reassure you! 🙂
Thank you to those parents who have already signed up – we can’t wait to learn about your cultural heritage!

In 2017 we started our first two honeybee hives. We were told not to expect much of a harvest in the first year because the bees would spend much of the season drawing out comb and building up their populations, but we were elated to collect 165lb of honey that season! We think the bees benefited from the abundance of pollinator plants available to them. Our farm is surrounded by hundreds of acres of pasture and our county does not spray or mow ditches, which has resulted in a wide diversity of native plants. We are excited to see what next year brings. If our bees survive the winter, we will split the hives next season.
We offer for sale a limited amount of raw honey, available each year beginning in early October. Our bees produce a light amber honey that is finely flavored and smooth. We do not heat, filter, or otherwise process the honey in any way. It is simply spun out of the comb and run through a strainer to remove large chunks of wax. Unlike store-bought honey, which has been processed and filtered to prevent crystallization, our raw honey contains pollen and tiny bits of wax, natural ingredients thought to be important reducing some seasonal allergies.


WASHINGTON, April 1 (Reuters) - The senior U.S. House
Republican on budget matters said on Sunday he "misspoke" when
he caused a stir last week by saying the Pentagon budget for
next year was dishonest and the generals were not giving
Congress their true advice.
"I really misspoke, to be candid with you ...," congressman
Paul Ryan, chairman of the House of Representatives Budget
Committee, told CNN's "State of the Union" program.
Ryan made his controversial comment in a forum last
Thursday, saying: "We don't think the generals are giving us
their true advice. We don't think the generals believe that
their budget is the right budget."
Dempsey responded sharply. "There's a difference between
having someone say they don't believe what you said versus ...
calling us collectively liars," he said last week. "My response
is I stand by my testimony."
Senior military officers, including Dempsey, who have
testified to Congress have endorsed Pentagon plans to cut back
on projected spending by $487 billion over the next decade as
the United States winds down wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But
they have warned against a further $500 billion in spending cuts
that could go into effect next year unless Congress takes action
to stop them.
Ryan took the view that the defense budget Democratic
President Barack Obama sent to Congress last month was driven by
spending constraints and not by a new U.S. military strategy
announced in January.
But he acknowledged that his comments last week stepped over
"Yes, I totally misspoke. It was not the impression I meant
to give. I talked to General Dempsey on it and expressed that
sentiment," Ryan said on ABC's "This Week" program.
"My issue is I think that the president's budget on the
Pentagon is a budget-driven strategy, not a strategy-driven
budget," said Ryan, a rising star in the Republican Party who
has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential choice.
"He announced the number of the cuts he wanted for the
Pentagon, and then he began the strategy review to conform to
that number," Ryan continued. "We (Republicans) take $300
billion out of defense spending versus the $500 billion that the
president does in his budget. We think there are savings to be
gotten there, but I think the president's hollowing it out."

The 3rd edition of this young and brilliant Festival will be held this year in mid-October in the City of Calvin, with a resolutely Jazz program that doesn’t give in to the sirens of pop, but respects Jazz in all its Colours.
Couleurs Jazz Media and Couleurs Jazz Radio are proud to be the main media partners of this Noyonnais Indian Summer event.
Here’s the program:
Thursday 10/12 à 07:00pm at the CENTRE CULTUREL
A Cuban double bassist and bass player living in Paris, he was born in Cuba into a family of musicians.
He began learning percussion at an early age, before discovering bass at the age of 13, in the hands of his first mentor Orlando López “Cachaito”. He later joined the Alejandro Garcí school in Caturla, and later the Cuban National School of the Arts.
Today, he is one of Cuba’s most sought-after double bassists.
He draws his inspiration and influences not only from Afro-Cuban rhythms, but also from jazz, funk and soul music.
His album Orisun, Hit Couleurs Jazz, released in 2020, is still selected on Couleurs Jazz Radio.

At Couleurs Jazz, we are of course, Xénos-philes. Xénos is the new band of Serbian drummer Srdjan Ivanovic, well known to us, with the incredible Macedonian mathematician Jovana Krstevska as co-leader, a concentrate of positive energy.
The band draws inspiration from their own stories and experiences of exile and immigration, producing rock-tinged jazz with Balkan rhythms. Their album Xénos has been featured on Couleurs Jazz Radio since its release in June this year.
There’s a beautiful connivance between the five musicians, who know each other well and whom you’ll hear in various formations on Couleurs Jazz Radio.
Srdjan IVANOVIC – Drums
Jovana KRSTEVSKA – vocals
Robby MARSHALL – tenor sax, clarinet, kaval
Hugo CORBIN – guitar
Philippe BURNEAU – bass
Friday 10/13 à 07:00pm at the CENTRE CULTUREL
Bloom is a vocal trio with a serious rhythm section, double bass and drums.
This choice of a minimalist rhythm section lends a surprising and singular sound to these three artists’ vocal and acoustic project: the voices, free of all originalities, dare to venture where they are not expected.
The musical universes of each then intermingle to give birth to a jazz that is at once exalted, swinging, and refined.

François Poitou and Pumpkin
François Poitou, already present with his two previous albums, returns with “Arômes Complexes“, a totally different project, fascinating with delightful sonic discoveries, for a resolutely modern and bewitching jazz.
The main “find” is to integrate rap, not as a fusion to look modern and capture a certain audience, but to use this clearly established aesthetic, just as jazz knows how to integrate all types of music. Here, rap vocal choruses are used in the same way as any other instrument, trumpet for example, double bass, drums…
The group’s jazz instrumentalists are not at the service of rap singer Pumpkin. Pumpkin is treated in the same way as her fellow musicians.
A very interesting and innovative approach. Pumpkin was previously invited to practice this type of exercise by the godfather of Couleurs Jazz Radio, the hilarious Médéric Collignon! She took a liking to it.
François Poitou explains: “With Pumpkin, I appreciate the rhythmic precision, the quality of the lyrics and the themes tackled….
And the fusion took place… Read more here

Slaven Ljujic trio – Connection 3
Slaven Ljujic trio (Connection 3) is a jazz trio featuring Berlin-based Montenegrin multi-instrumentalist and composer Ivan Marovic on guitar and piano, Croatian Tin Dzaferovic in Vienna, Austria, and Montenegrin leader Slaven Ljujic on drums.
Connection 3‘s debut album, recorded live at the DEUS festival in Podgorica, Montenegro, in December 2022, is currently in preparation.
Each time they perform, these artists try to take their expression and sound to the next level, using the method of spontaneous composition, feeling each other’s energy and using imagination as their main driving force.
Styles range from be bop to americana to heavy backbeat. Their compositions tend to possess a powerful mojo that connects the audience with the trio.
“No boundaries” is Connection 3‘s motto, giving them the freedom to constantly compose new material from show to show. Playing with music and creating something from scratch on the spot, allows their performance to push the boundaries. (Couleurs jazz Radio).
We’ve already heard them in Podgorica (Montenegro) and Bitola (Northern Macedonia) as part of our “Jazz France-Blakans” network, before programming them in the Couleurs Jazz Club at Musicora last May and again at Espace Jemmapes in Paris.
A trio to discover!
Ivan MAROVIC: guitar & piano
Tin DZAFEROVIC: double bass
- Slaven LJUJIC: drums
SATURDAY 14-10 AT 7PM AT THE CULTURAL CENTER
We’ve been following the formidable trombonist for a long time now, and his latest opus, “L’Homme à Tête de Chou in Uruguay“, won him a “Hit Couleurs Jazz” award.
A work of art! That’s what I thought after listening to the latest album by the trombonist who has been a fixture on the jazz scene for some twenty years now.
Daniel Zimmermann is a historic member of Le Sacre du Tympan, founded DPZ with Thomas de Pourquery, created a trio with Vincent Peirani, and was trombonist for Nougaro, Manu Dibango, Tony Allen, Archie Shepp, Wynton Marsalis, Michel Legrand, Bernard Lavilliers, Jacques Higelin, Aznavour…
Dear Couleurs Jazz Radio listeners, Daniel Zimmermann‘s previous albums as leader were celebrated on their release, and are still being listened to (Montagnes Russes & Dichotomie’s).
This 3rd Label Bleu album is a rereading of a Serge Gainsbourg era, a genuine creation that reveals the full talent of the trombonist-composer-arranger.
“After recording a lot of original compositions since I’ve been making records as leader or co-leader, I wanted to make a tribute album. There were only two possibilities for me: Claude Nougaro, with whom I was lucky enough to play for a long time, and Gainsbourg. And the one who is most a part of my identity, to whom I feel closest, in my approach and in particular my approach as a composer, the one who was a shock to me, one of those you never forget, is Gainsbourg.“
The result is creative, moving music, the kind we really love. Many winks are borrowed from the original work of Gainsbourg avant Gainsbarre, the singer-songwriter’s still pink period. The quartet’s team of “killers” is reminiscent of the cohesion and energy of a rock band from the blessed years, with the virtuosity of the best jazz bands.
“I have the ideal group to do what I want to do: accomplices and friends. Brilliant instrumentalists, well-versed in improvisation, but with enormous experience of chanson, pop and contemporary music. Musicians without blinkers but with their own identity, who know how to appropriate this music without betraying it. Finally, Erik Truffaz is an ideal guest for this project. An inventive musician who is identifiable from the very first notes he plays”.
Listen to Bonnie & Clyde, Comic Strip, New York USA, Ballade de Melody Nelson for moments of looping, twists and turns as mischievous as they are irreverent. Swinging and grooving to the max. Pure joy. Without doubt one of the best albums of the year.
To get an idea, have a listen to the two jubilant tracks we’ve chosen for our show: “Chez les Yéyés” and “SS in Uruguay“, then go and get the record!
Daniel Zimmermann: trombone
Pierre Durand: guitar
Jérôme Regard: bass
Julien Charlet: drums
SATURDAY 10/14 at 09:00pm at the CENTRE CULTUREL
Lior Krief feat. Baptiste Herbin
Born of the encounter between Lior Krief and Baptiste Herbin, the New Light project is the meeting of the ardor of gypsy jazz and the bebop improvisation of the saxophone. Accompanied by the excellent Simba Baumgartner, Django’s great-grandson, and double bassist Esteban Felix, the Lior Krief Quartet takes us on an explosive jazz journey!
- Lior KRIEF: guitare
- Baptiste HERBIN – saxophone
- Simba BAUMGARTNER: guitar

SUNDAY 10/15 at 02:30 PM at THE CHEVALET
Claude Tissendier – Duke For Ever
Claude Tissendier has written extensively for saxophone ensembles. In 1987, there was his Saxomania (2 altos, 2 tenors), then more recently, the New Saxomania (soprano, alto, 2 tenors, baritone).
For “Duke For Ever“, the continuation of this wonderful adventure, Claude was inspired by the leading role played by the alto and baritone in the arrangements conceived by Duke Ellington for the saxophone section of his big band (2 altos, 2 tenors, baritone).
The tour de force here is to restore the fullness of these arrangements by skilfully reducing the original five voices to just two, those of the alto and baritone. This is what the listener feels when listening to Take the A Train and Happy Go Lucky Local, which give the impression of being performed by a larger sax section.
- Claude TISSENDIER: alto saxophone, clarinet
- Philippe CHAGNE: baritone saxophone, bass clarinet
- Jean-Pierre REBILLARD: doublebass

- Laurence ALLISON: voice
SUNDAY 10/15 at 04:30PM at THE CHEVALET
Daïda brings a different color to today’s jazz. Resolutely modern, leaning towards rock and electronic music, jazz remains the bedrock of this energetic music that appeals enormously to a young audience.
This music expresses the paroxysmal feelings of the “Passion(s)” that punctuate this “Kyrielle” of stories. At times rebellious and tormented, Daïda‘s musical journeys are also tinged with dream and nostalgia, like a great epic. Driven by this energy, Daïda’s music is rooted in frantic rhythms that flirt with the trance of techno music, blending with lyrical themes and harmonies as the soloists soar.
- Auxane CARTIGNY: Synthesizers
- Arno de CASANOVE: trumpet
- Samuel F’HIMA: doublebass
- Antonin FRESSON: guitar

I really like this portrait. Very Uyghur..., and the background colour is really Xinjiang colour. The face of Uyghur men are always beautiful. Good portrait.
Lovely portrait -- the pitted wall speaks of hardship, but his face reflects an inner peace and confidence. Nice tilt of the shoulders and head as well.

After the United States departed from the Paris Agreement last week, sources report that a brand new country called Bloombergistan has officially entered and ratified the international accord. Bloombergistan, housing a quaint population of 1, will provide up to $15 million to assist other struggling countries in their efforts to mitigate climate change.
“The government of Bloombergistan voted unanimously to join the Paris Agreement and contribute a sizable sum of money as well,” declared Bloombergistinian dictator Michael Bloomberg. Bloombergistan plans to collect the money by implementing a large tax raise across the country’s residents.
When the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) asked Bloombergistan to report their goals to mitigate climate change in their own country, Bloombergistan outlined a strong plan to encourage citizens to try to take some quicker showers and turn the lights off after leaving the room. Bloombergistan is considering asking Bloombergistinians to turn the water off while putting the toothpaste on the toothbrush and eating turkey instead of roast beef as well.
