In an interview, Oscar Peterson discussed his aesthetics and teaching.
“I’m an admirer of the beautiful long line that starts out and then reaches a point of definition. If you reach a point of definition, it validates all the other aspects of the line.”
“One thing I try to convey to my students when I’m teaching is the relativity of notes. From a melodic standpoint there are wrong notes. But from a creative standpoint there are no wrong notes because every note can be related to a chord. Every note can be made part of your line, depending on how fast you can integrate it into your schematic arrangement.”
“It’s not a matter of technique; it’s time….You have an idea, and it’s confined to a certain period in a piece on an overlay of harmonic carpeting. You have to get from here to there in whatever time you’re allotted with whatever ideas you have.”
Quoted in “Oscar Peterson” by Leonard Lyons, an interview included in The great jazz pianists: Speaking of their lives and music (New York: Thomas Morrow, 1983, pp. 130–43).
Today would have been Peterson’s 90th birthday! Below, the pianist as jazz encyclopedia.

It's a fear familiar to the city's creative class: When you're young and have energy, ideas and looks, you lack the maturity and the power-base to make them meaningful; but by the time you've finally achieved those latter things, you've lost the energy. When is that perfect moment at which youth and energy and power collide, and you make something that's magic?
In Black Swan, director Darren Aronofsky has chosen a relatively obscure field for a study of the phenomenon—the ballet—but he couldn't have chosen much of a better one.
Story Continued Below
The film is set in a not-quite New York. The company to which Nina, played by Natalie Portman, belongs goes unnamed, but it appears to inhabit the same Lincoln Center theater as New York City Ballet. The characters walk in the Lincoln Center plaza, but the interior of the theater both is and isn't like the Koch's, and there's a cocktail party that takes place in some alternate-universe Natural History Museum.
The city has the anonymous but freighted feel it has in noir films, in which it is the perpetual symbol of the highest highs and lowest lows of humanity: home of culture, crime, and decadence, the place where it is possible to make the Faustian bargains which allow great things to happen, but which lead inexorably to self-destruction.
Nina is a brilliant young ballerina cast in the lead role of a new production of Swan Lake, the classic ballet of obsessive love, doublings, and magic. The "concept" of this Swan Lake production (presented in the film as unusual, though it's the normal staging) is that the ballet's two swan-girls—representing, respectively, white and black, innocence and experience—will be danced by a single ballerina.
Nina—naïve, fragile, and introverted—is a natural for Odette, the white swan, but she lacks, at least on the surface, the seductive, dangerous darkness of Odile, the black.
As the rehearsals proceed, this being an Aronofsky movie, she enters a vortex of paranoia and hallucination. The camera becomes an unreliable narrator, just as one's public is an unreliable source of self-judgment: the origin of Nina's phantom scratches and bleeding fingers is mysterious (the injuries might or might not be self-inflicted); a disconcertingly bohemian fellow dancer (Mila Kunis) may or may not be trying to steal her role; and her mother (Barbara Hershey), a former dancer herself, is either nurturing or psychotic, or perhaps both.

When children or teens are singled out and mistreated during their early years, it’s not uncommon for the psychological fallout to last well into adulthood. If parents are aware of the problem and find a child psychotherapist or youth counselor for their son or daughter, there’s hope of recovery—after all, the young can be very resilient. But sometimes, children are singled out in ways adults might not expect. Recently, new research has shed light on the experiences of two different groups of youth: deaf and hard of hearing children, and lesbian, gay and bisexual teens.
Those outside the deaf community may imagine integration and social acceptance to be the hardest challenge facing deaf and hard-of-hearing youth, especially if they’re the exception in a family or school of hearing individuals. That may very well be the case, but researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology have identified another challenge. Their research finds that abuse and maltreatment rates are higher among deaf and hard-of-hearing children than they are among hearing youth. This includes neglect, physical and sexual abuse, and maltreatment—and it correlates to a higher rate of depression, PTSD, and negative thoughts about self and others.
With regard to lesbian, gay and bisexual teens, much attention has been given to bullying and peer harassment. But the Center for Research on Inequalities and the Life Course at Yale has found that LGB adolescents are likely to be singled out by adults as well. In a seven-year study of 15,000 middle and high school students, LGB youth reported lower rates of misbehavior than their straight peers, yet experienced a stunning 40% higher rate in punishment of all forms: school expulsions, police stops, arrest, juvenile convictions, and adult convictions. The research done in each of these studies is of vast importance: it sheds light on the experiences that these minority youth populations may be experiencing, which can help therapists and counselors who work with them as teens and adults. But it also highlights previously undocumented maltreatment and harm at the hands of others, a first step that will hopefully lead to awareness and reduction campaigns in the future.

Bonjour my 21st century ladies (and men but don't think I'm funny)! Henri is quite liking blogging while he waits for book to be released and today I'd like to wish everyone a Joyeux Halloween as they say in Francoise language. Join me for a Coors Lite and I'll tell you a little story. Put the kiddies to bed and let's light the fire for some atmosphère confortable for I'm about to tell you a little ghostie story.
One night, Boo (my drinking buddy) and I were camping out in Boo's wife's dog house and it was getting late. It was a full moon and I just knew it was going to be a weird night. Boo had ordered pizza and he and I were sitting around throwing pizza crusts at Boo's dog who was scrunched up in between Boo and I. Quite a threesome in a 4x6 foot dog house. Quite frankly, I think the dog was having more fun than we were, but we were okay. The sky was clear with a big of nip in the air and Juicy and Maxine was nowhere in sight. Maxine is Boo's wife if you didn't already know that.
I have known Boo as far as I can remember. After we both died, we lost touch for a few hundred years, then caught up with one another on Halloween night of all nights in the cemetery of Old Man Hessop's place.
Old Man Hessop was a mean cuss and the only reason I was in his cemetery was because I was looking to see if it were true he came out at night and overturned all the headstones like the townsfolk were saying he was doing. I figured it was an old wives' tale because I never saw him.
He died an untimely death in 1864 just as Boo and I had, only it was for an unjust cause. He'd been caught with the sharecropper's daughter at high noon underneath the hickory tree in the same cemetery Boo and I were standing. From what I heard, it was a simple peck on the cheek and Old Man Hessop's wife comes running after the two of them, causing the both of them to get run down by a herd of cows that had gotten loose out of Jed Hiney's cow field.
Or, at least that's what was reported in the Ghostly Times. And Old Man Hessop never showed his ghostly face around these parts again. But the locals say he loved to return on Halloween night, overturning headstones on a quest to find the sharecropper's daughter. This was a fact I'm not sure was true or not.
It was there I was moseying around, trying to see what I could get into when I caught a faint glimpse of something moving by the old hickory tree. I figured it must be Old Man Hessop trying to create a scare in dear ol' Henri; but instead, it was just Boo.
"Is that you, Boo?" I cried. He walked over to me and gave me the biggest hug I'd ever gotten.
But there was something about Boo that troubled me. He was different. Of course, he wasn't a mortal anymore, but it was something else about him that made the hairs on Henri's chest stand straight up. Now when that happens, something's going on and I was bound and determined I was
going to find out what it was.
He wore the same smile - kind of crooked on one side as if he'd run into a brick wall or something - but that smile, it would light up a whole room if you gave it time for the other side to catch up with it.
But all in all, except for this feeling something was very wrong, Boo was the same ol' Boo.
I asked him how he'd been doing and he said fine, but I knew he wasn't fine at all.
Finally, in an effort to get him to talk, I said, "Where's Maxine?"
That's when his face fell and with what little spirit he could muster, he put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Maxine's been captured."
I looked at him kind of funny because I wasn't exactly sure what he meant by that and he picked up on my confusion right away. "It wasn't too long after you left that Maxine and I met our own demise at the bottom of the Chauteleau Lake after a storm overturned our boat. Both of us drowned.
"I tried searching for Maxine all night long. I didn't even think about my own death at the time. I just wanted to find my wife."
"You did find her, didn't you?" I asked.
"Oh, I found her all right. Watched her spirit soar into the sky and I don't know where she ended up after that. That's when it hit me. I was dead and I knew they'd come after me too, so I hid behind a rock in a cavernous gully that was cut out of the side of a mountain. They never found me."
I knew who they was - the energies from the other side.
"So what did you do after that?"
"I roamed. Did a few things I could never do as a mortal - you know, ghostie things."
I nodded, remembering my own experience when I found out I was now a ghost.
"But then, everything started getting old and I missed Maxine terribly."
"You mean you haven't seen her after all these years?"
He looked toward the ground, his head bent low and he said, "Nope. Not at all."
"Well damn Boo," I said. "That really stinks."
We sat there, Boo and I, by the old hickory tree in Old Man Hessop's cemetery, watching the clouds pass over the moon when suddenly I heard a commotion in the farmhouse which sat at the edge of the cemetery.
There were stories of how Old Man Hessop's farmhouse never got rented or sold because it was haunted by the old geezer himself, so automatically I figured it was he inside just fixing himself some dinner or doing laundry, much like he did when his wife was still alive.
Curiosity got the best of both Boo and I so we flew closer to have a look see.
When we got to the farmhouse, the commotion had died down except for a coon hound barking in the distance and the sounds of a few hairy bats flapping overhead.
Now Boo and I were never afraid of anything even when we were kids so naturally we just flew through the front door like it was nothing.
Cobwebs were strung through rafters like sticky cotton candy and you had to dodge'em or they'd attach to you like glue, but Boo and I wanted to see what all the racket was about so we kept going.
It was then that we saw Old Man Hessop himself sitting on an old piano bench by the French doors that hung half off the hinges. A picture of his wife still hung above the mantle and it seemed as if she was watching our every move, but our attentions were focused on the lonely, old ghost of a man, sitting alone on a half-broken piano bench.
When Old Man Hessop saw us, he stood up and waved for us to come to him.
Boo looked at me and I looked at him and I knew he was thinking what I was thinking. We were already dead. What did we have to lose?
So Boo and I flew over to Old Man Hessop to see what he wanted.
"I heard you two lads talking in my cemetery," he said as he tinkled lightly on the keys of the piano. "I hear you're looking for a ghost by the name of Maxine."
Well that's about when Boo went all postal and started after Old Man Hessop figuring he'd been having his way with her all these years. I told Boo to get a grip and let's just listen to what the old man had to say.
Old Man Hessop wobbled toward the French doors, pointed outside, and said, "You see that old Hickory tree?"
We both nodded kind of confused-like, as we gazed out the window at the hickory tree from which we just sat a few minutes before.
And there sat Maxine who Boo hadn't seen for over 200 years.
Boo looked at Old Man Hessop and asked, "How did you do that?"
Old Man Hessop smiled a toothless grin and said, "All these years you've wanted to see her, yet she never appeared, right?"
"And all those years have passed and not once did she make her presence known, right?"
Boo kind of stuttered, scratched his head and said, "I'm not understanding."
Old Man Hessop laughed. "You are so much like a mortal. Mr. Boo, I hate to be the one to tell you this but Maxine has been with you all these years and you were so determined to find her that you forgot that the spirit is not of the flesh. What you were looking for was Maxine the mortal, not Maxine the spirit and truth be known, her spirit has been within your spirit, your soul and your heart all these years. You were just too blind to see. Go to her. Her spirit is calling you, man."
I will never forget the look on Boo's face that night. Standing in the middle of Old Man Hessop's cemetery clutching Maxine as if there were no tomorrow.
And now, we're both sitting in a dog house watching Boo's dog lick his balls.
Love is funny. One minute they get on your everlasting nerves and the second minute, it takes a timeout in a dog house to realize you never know a good thing until they're gone.
I leaned over to Boo and said "Look. I think it's time we went home and deal with the consequences like a real ghost."
Besides I was in the mood for a cool Coors Lite.
"Yeah, I guess you're right, Henri," Boo said.
We thanked Boo's dog for letting us hang out with him for awhile and headed home - Boo back inside to Maxine and I back to Ezra's to deal with Juicy in the morning. She wasn't handling my superstardom very well but I guess time will tell.
Wish me luck with that one and you have a Happy Halloween. Stay safe and don't do any ghosts I wouldn't do.

Texas peach growers seeing successful season despite weather
FREDERICKSBURG, Texas (AP) - Some growers say Central Texas' peaches appear to be in abundant supply this year despite the crop enduring early and late freezes, heavy rain and strong spring winds.
Experts tell the San Antonio Express-News that most of the Hill Country fruit is ripening, but the best may be yet to come. Many anticipate that some later-season varieties will be plentiful.
Hill Country peaches are prized due to the region's rich soil on the edge of an arid zone, which makes for higher sugar content.
Jamey Vogel operates Vogel Orchard in Fredericksburg. He says the family thought they were going to lose the crop in March because of a late winter blast. Vogel believes the rain that preceded the freeze kept humidity levels high, leading to a successful crop season.

The North Fork Chocolate Company’s new shop in Aquebogue is a really delightful addition to our wine and food trail. It’s a treat just stepping through the doors, into the quiet, cool space filled with luxury sweets and toiletries, all made in the region. There’s a lot more than chocolate here, but taking pride of place is a large counter, lit like a stage. Carefully arrayed behind glass are rows of handmade chocolates. They’re decorated with swirls and patterns, pretty little flowers and dots, like precious bijoux that look too delicate to touch, let alone eat. Each is hand-made of Belgian chocolate, and filled with an imaginative filling made from local ingredients. Woodside Orchards and Briermere apples, local merlot, cabernet franc, port and sparkling wines, Sag Harbor Rum, Long Island Spirits Lemon Sorbetta, Long Ireland Breakfast Stout beer, Goodale Farms goat milk, Aldo’s coffee, Sep’s Farm strawberries, Hamptons Honey and even ginger from Mar-Gene Farms — anything can become a filling. A craft root beer is reduced to syrup, and even ice cream itself is turned into a ganache.
“If it’s local and of good quality, I like to try to find a way to use it,” says Steve Amaral, who owns the company with partner and general manager Ann Corley. “Ideas just seem to keep coming to me. It’s actually a lot of fun.”
We’re in the small production facility in the back, where the magic happens. Amaral is pouring molten mousse into pie cups for a dessert order. It smells wonderful in here, of course, and it’s all definitely a little Willy Wonka-ish, with so many projects going on at once. Talk about temptation — there are pots of gooey chocolate just asking for someone to stick their fingers in, jiggly slabs of pâté de fruit, metal racks of fresh-baked cookies as big as plates, broken piles of chocolate barks and chilled trays of the fine, small chocolates being dusted with local sea salt. Thin sheets of chocolate “tattoos,” made of a corn starch base, hang in fascinating array — touch them on the wrong side and they are ruined. On the fence outside, big bunches of mint are drying. They were just dropped off by a friend, and will be powdered in a spice grinder to go into mint ice-cream.
Amaral and Corley met five years ago; both had careers in food and hospitality, and both wanted to create something new, exciting and a little different, says Corley. They also wanted to be part of the local wine/farm/food economy, and stay out on the North Fork. So they decided on chocolate and desserts. The Stony Brook University Incubator at Calverton gave them their start, and they made their first retail foray at the Tanger Outlets in Riverhead. They knew they wanted to be on the wine trail, Corley says, so when this space on Route 25 in Aquebogue became available, it was perfect. They’ve grown fast. Behind the scenes, a big part of the business now is wholesale dessert; internet orders are brisk and a new collaboration with 1-800-FLOWERS will make their boxed sets of fine chocolates part of that gift service.
That evening, I tasted some of the chocolates Corley chose for me. All of them, actually, because I have a strong work ethic.
That evening, I tasted some of the chocolates Corley chose for me. All of them, actually, because I have a strong work ethic. I took a little nibble of each, and then re-nibbled just to make sure I was getting all the nuances. First, the Amore strawberry heart; it tasted just like ripe strawberries, not jam or candy. The Fleur de Lis, with local raw honey that was wild and strong, and milk ganache, was my favorite; it was heavenly. The Cup O’Joe was coffee, of course. The bean on top had been subjected to a heavy roast, bringing out rich coffee flavors. This is very Aldo; when a gorgeous cloud of coffee smoke blankets Greenport Village, we all know that Aldo’s roasting.
And the Radical, made with local ginger — yes, the plants are taken indoors in the winter — had a nice kick. The Pine Barrens Whiskey one was very grown up, and the dark chocolate Blackberry Merlot was luscious and definitely says North Fork. The Tiny Bubbles, made with sparkling wine, was light and adorable, the prettiest of the bunch.
And I hear that just this week, Amaral’s local ice cream project has come to fruition, and handmade ice creams are now available in all kinds of flavors. They’ll be made from local milk, eggs, fruits and herbs, and ice cream tastes will be offered in flights, like wine. It’s a brilliant idea. I have more work to do.

It has been a while since I've posted in my beloved blog. Since I last wrote in here I've seen rather a lot of the English country side as I've been travelling around to see friends and my beloved Rebecca (it feels odd to say Rebecca but I like it). At this very moment I am sitting on Rebecca's (hehe) bed. Recently I've been trying to vary my music preference and start listening to new bands which I have been doing pretty well with and one song I have been listening to is a song I haven't been able to get out of my head in days. The song is called "Let Go" by Frou Frou and it appeared in one of my favourite films "Garden State", which I strongly suggest you watch it if you have not seen it before. However, I warn you it is a very "marmite" film. You either love it of you hate it. I have never came across anyone who is in the "middle", if you like, of the film but if you are in the "middle" please let me know as I would like you to be the first person I know to ever be in the "middle". Anyway the song is a really nice song that I really enjoy listening to.
Right enough about the "middle", since I've been travelling rather a bit over the last few weeks it has given my time to catch up on my writing. Yes I right who would have guessed? I am currently writing a sci-fi book (a star wars book to be precise and yes I am a HUGE nerd) and I've managed to work on a book that I started writing when I was 15 years old! So i've been going over the story and replacing words and sentences which made sense back then but don't now. The story I'm writing is called Edge 2 Edge and is based around a character I always wished I could be during my early teens. The character, John, Lives in the USA and is basically a "dude" considered cool and all that who plays in a band and is a good skater. The story is based on his life as he and his mother move around the country trying to find peace and tranquility after his parents divorce. Maybe one day soon I will put extracts on here and you can laugh at my feeble 15 year old atempt to write a book. But more of that later...
Anyway, the world is now officially "different" as Obama is in the White House, what a speech eh?, and he was sworn in twice? Wow he is popular. Anyway the next few weeks and months should be very interesting and even if you are not as politically minded as me I strongly suggest you keep an ear glued to the news to see what is going on in the world. The world is going through a very rocky time at the moment with the credit crunch and of course the "trouble" in Israel, but I hope people can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Things will change and hopefully sooner rather than later. But in the mean time watch Garden State to make you happy as it truly is a brilliant film and I have learnt some important lessons from it. One of which is my advice for the day:
Do something completely original like a movement or odd sound, something that has never been done before or will be done again. "How is that possible?!?!?!" I hear you cry. Well if you think about it if you do something really odd on a certain spot chances are no one has done that exact movement or has made that exact sound on that exact spot before and no one ever will do it exactly the same again. mind boggling huh?
anyway after a rather LONG post riddled with spelling mistakes I give you my love.
Peace, Love and respect as always

While attending the screening of her film Charlie Countryman in NYC on Wednesday, the actress couldn’t stop gushing about her 4-month-old son.

Docomomo has announced the winners of its 2018 Modernism in America Awards. These awards celebrate the people and projects working to save and reinvigorate threatened or outdated architecture. “By recognizing the important design and preservation work being done around the country, the Modernism in America Awards program is bringing awareness to the substantial contribution that preservation in general – and the postwar heritage in particular – makes to the economic and cultural life of our communities,” said Docomomo US president Theodore Prudon.
Design Within Reach is a proud sponsor of the Modernism in America Awards, which will be presented on Wednesday, June 20, at the DWR Studio on East 57th Street in Manhattan. Tickets are available here.
This year’s winners include:
General Motors Design Dome & Auditorium, 1956
Designed by Eero Saarinen and Harley Earl
This large indoor viewing auditorium was constructed to give designers a way to see their vehicles in an open space, regardless of weather. The 180-foot-diameter domed structure was indirectly lighted to provide a shadowless environment for the evaluation of form and finish. This National Historic Landmark was recently renovated by the design team at SmithGroupJJR.
Joseph Curran Building / Lenox Health Greenwich Village, 1964
New York, New York
Designed by Albert Ledner
A student of Frank Lloyd Wright, Albert Ledner designed this building as part of a public relations campaign for the National Maritime Union. It served as the unions’ national headquarters until it was purchased by St. Vincent Catholic Medical Centers in 1973, and became the Edward & Theresa O’Toole Medical Services building. In 2007, St. Vincent’s announced plans to replace the building with a new 329-foot hospital tower. In May 2008, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission denied the hospital’s proposal to destroy the Curran/O’Toole building. However, six months later the hospital reapplied and the Landmarks Commission approved its petition to raze the building. Three years of appeals and legal actions later, a new owner and use was identified. North Shore LIJ Health System worked with Perkins Eastman Architects to renovate the historic building, transforming it into a neighborhood medical complex with Manhattan’s first freestanding, 24-hour emergency department.
George Kraigher House, 1937
Designed by Richard Neutra
The only Richard Neutra-designed single-family residence to be built in Texas, this house was home to Pan American pilot George Kraigher. It’s believed to be the first International Style house built in the state. Threatened by neglect, fire, vandalism and water penetration, this house was the focus of nearly two decades of preservation efforts. In 2005, its luck changed. A unique partnership of community activists, city officials and the University of Texas, Brownsville/Texas Southmost College came together to secure and restore the house. University professor Lawrence V. Lof and his students led the restoration. A Historic Rehabilitation Practicum evolved from this work, and now provides students in the Industrial Technology Department hands-on experience with historic restoration construction.
University of California, San Diego
La Jolla, California
Citation of Merit for the UC San Diego Campus-wide Historic Context Statement and Historic Resource Survey.
For two years, Architectural Resources Group worked closely with UC San Diego’s campus planners to identify, inventory, document and develop policies to preserve its wealth of modern resources. The campus’ buildings include works by A. Quincy Jones, Robert Mosher, William Pereira and Lloyd Ruocco.
Join us for the Modernism in America Awards, which will be presented on Wednesday, June 20, at the DWR Studio on East 57th Street in Manhattan. Tickets are available here.
About Docomomo US:

Following months of strikes by broad swathes of public sector workers, from university professors to customs officers, the majority of workers on Tuesday accepted the government’s offer of a 15.8 percent pay-rise over three years. Federal Police unions however rejected the offer and opted to continue the labor strike action.
The Supremo Tribunal Federal (Supreme Court, STF) released an Amazon rancher Regivaldo Galvão, sometimes known as “Taradao,” who was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to thirty years of prison in May 2010 for his involvement in the February 2005 death of Sister Dorothy Stang, a nun and rainforest activist in Anapu, Pará.
A federal appeals court has ordered construction to stop on the controversial Belo Monte dam, citing insufficient consultation with local indigenous communities. Brazil’s Regional Federal Court ruled last Tuesday that the consultation process outlined in Brazil’s constitution and U.N. Treaty 169 on indigenous rights was not properly followed.
There is one story dominating the Brazilian headlines: The mensalão, a huge corruption case that could taint the legacy of former President Lula and the reputation of his Partido dos Trabalhadores (Workers’ Party—PT) to which his successor Dilma Rousseff belongs.
The senate in Brazil last week passed a bill that requires prestigious federal universities to reserve fifty percent of their places for public school students, and increases the number of spaces allotted to black, mixed-race and indigenous students. It is expected that President Dilma Rousseff will ratify the law next week.
Even before their Mayor received the Olympic flag from Boris Johnson last night, the citizens of Rio de Janeiro could feel the gaze of the sporting world begin shifting their way.
Brazilian flags and Union flags have hung side by side in bars over the past fortnight, and newspaper cartoons have depicted a glossy, barely-dressed Brazilian carnival queen in place of Elizabeth during the 2016 Opening Ceremony.
Seven years after the scandal surfaced, Brazil’s Supreme Court on Thursday, August 2nd began to hear the huge cash-for-votes corruption case that threatens to tarnish former President Lula’s legacy and the reputation of the ruling Partido dos Trabalhadores (Workers’ Party, PT).
President Hugo Chávez met with the leaders of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay in Brasília Tuesday to formalize Venezuela’s entrance to Mercosur – six years after the oil-rich Caribbean nation’s first attempt to join the trade bloc. The decision to let in Venezuela was taken, controversially, without Paraguay’s approval during that country’s suspension for Former President Fernando Lugo’s impeachment.
Brazil’s Foreign Ministry on Friday removed nearly all its diplomats from the Brazilian embassy in Syria because of heavy fighting in Damascus. Itamaraty (the Brazilian Foreign Ministry) said in a statement diplomats were moved to Beirut, Lebanon, due to the “deteriorating security situation.”
The newest addition to Rio de Janeiro state’s Superporto do Açu will be where Norwegian company Subsea 7 plans to begin manufacturing oil and gas pipelines in 2014. The R$21 million-per-year lease was signed following Subsea 7’s withdrawal from plans to build the project in the southeastern state of Paraná, where difficulties in obtaining an environmental license blocked the company’s first choice of location.

Tangled Whale Freed Off Hawaiian Island
LANAI CITY, Hawaii - A 40-foot humpback whale wiggled off into the deep without a look back after ocean researchers and volunteers freed it from a tangle of abandoned fishing lines and other debris, possibly saving its life.
Whale watchers were looking for another dangerously entangled whale in waters around Hawaii on Wednesday, but experts warned against anyone trying to do the job themselves. Disentangling whales requires a special permit.The rescue on Monday, using poles to untangle fishing lines and debris, occurred in waters off the island of Lanai, about 60 miles southeast of Honolulu, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA).
The whale was tangled up in four different kinds of rope and three buoys. It was first spotted near the Big Island on Feb. 9 and then swam into rough waters, delaying the rescue.
"We believe it was exhausted. Dragging the gear was tiring it," said Edward Lyman, who worked with fellow whale sanctuary researcher Dave Mattila to cut the animal free.
For the first time, rescuers had attached a VHF tracking buoy to the whale so they could follow the mammal into calm waters.
The other missing humpback, with gear tightly embedded around the base of its tail, was considered to be in grave danger and was first sighted Jan. 29 off the Big Island by researchers from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, which helped free the first whale on Monday.
Divers and crew from NOAA and the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources joined in the latest successful rescue, the first of the whale watching season in Hawaii waters.
A global volunteer group called the Whale Disentanglement Network, also was involved in Monday's rescue of the whale that had been dragging 25 feet of heavy fishing lines and other ocean debris from its mouth.
NOAA says whale entanglements in Hawaiian waters have increased in recent years.
Typically, large whales are able to scrape off the gear and swim away, but they are often hindered in feeding and may starve to death, researchers say.
Whale experts ask that amateur whalewatchers report entangled whales but advise that some seemingly odd whale behavior may not always be the result of an encounter with fishing lines.
They say mothers and calves often lie motionless at the surface just to rest, male humpbacks often breach the surface with a white spray that may appear to be debris, and some whales have 15-foot white pectoral fins that may be mistaken for fishnet.
The disentanglement network, which keeps special equipment for freeing whales, and has freed more than 50 large whales in recent years in waters along the U.S. and Canadian east and west coasts, the Caribbean and near Alaska and Hawaii.
David Schofield, a marine mammal response coordinator, said the whale freed Monday appeared to be fine.
"As far as turning around, they don't usually acknowledge the rescuers," he said. "They just kind of go on their way, which we are happy to see. It's a good sign to us when that happens."

When I was a kid, my mom had a Christmas tradition of giving my brother and I each a new ornament every year. They were always very fitting of our personalities and hobbies. It was something I looked forward to the most every holiday season. When we’d put our tree up my mom would hand a small package to each of us and, even though we knew it was an ornament, the excitement was almost too much.
My mom never stopped giving us ornaments, it didn’t matter how old we got. She use to say, “You’re never too old for Christmas.”
And I believe that 100%.
When Curtis and I got married, we continued this wonderful tradition. It is my absolute favorite Christmas tradition in the history of ever.
Putting up our tree has special meaning. Each ornament that is unwrapped is a memory full of love and happiness. I still have my ornaments from when I was a young child and to most they may seem ugly and weird. But for me they symbolize not only the wonderful holiday memories I have, but the incredible efforts my mom went to in making sure that our Christmas was always special and unique.
After nine years of spending the holiday season together, our Christmas tree is sporting some pretty awesome Batman and Star Wars ornaments…there’e even an Indiana Jones in there.
And of course, lots of Mickey Mouse.
These are Curt’s ornaments this year.
I usually only give him one, but you can’t just make one superhero ornament. I mean, c’mon.
He about died when he opened the box. He absolutely loves them!
And they’re “super” easy to make. Ha ha. (terrible, I know)
Ok, so I started by finding the superhero logos I wanted by doing a Google image search. I printed and cut them out.
Then took some clear glass ornaments and took the toppers off.
Using acrylic paint, I poured paint in the ornaments in the corresponding superhero colors; grey, blue, red and green.
Making sure to get all the inside of the ornament well coated.
Then I poured out any excess paint and left the ornaments upside down for a day or two so all the paint could drain out and dry.
Hint: empty toilet paper rolls cut in half work perfectly as ornament drying stands.
Once the paint was dry I stuck on the superhero logos. I used my little sticker maker, but glue would work just fine too.
Put those toppers back on and the super balls are ready to hang!
Only problem is now I’ll have to come up with a really killer ornament for next year.
Eh, I’ll worry about that later.
What are some of your favorite Christmas traditions? I’d love to hear about them.
Until next time…..

Every citizen is legally able to get a copy of his or her credit report annually for free from the three major credit consumer reporting companies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. There are some places on the Internet that will provide you with the three credit reports and a credit score from each of the reporting agencies.
Each of the reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion has their own scoring system. If you get a score with your reports you will most likely get three different scores. Here are two questions live score you may have: Are the credit reporting agencies scores the same as my FICO score? No. How do I check my FICO score for free? That is more difficult to answer.
A FICO score is derived from a third party company, Fair Isaac Corporation, and it is the best known and most widely used credit score model in the United States. The FICO score is different than the credit reporting agencies scores as Fair Isaac uses their own statistical model to derive their scores. You actually have three FICO scores, one for each individual credit company Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
In addition to having three FICO scores, one for each individual credit company, you also have different FICO scores based on three types of credit: 1) mortgages, 2) automobile loans and 3) consumer credit. These scores reflect the different lending default risks inherent to these different types of loans.
Now, getting back to the question of how do I check my FICO score for free. As you now know, there are actually three FICO scores that you would need to obtain to have an exact knowledge of what your FICO scores are for each reporting agency. You can check your FICO score for free if you go to the website myfico.com and enroll in some of their programs that track your credit score and protect you from any type of malfeasance to your credit reports. However, enrolling in these programs will cost you a monthly fee.

The Council is committed to promoting the highest standards of conduct by Members and has adopted a Code of Conduct for all Members as part of its constitution.
The Council has also established a Standards Committee responsible for promoting and maintaining high standards of conduct by Members of the Council - Terms of Reference of Standards Committee (para 35 of Section 3 of Part 3 of Constitution)
The Code of Conduct is underpinned by principles of
- Honesty and integrity
- Personal Judgement
- Respect for others
- A duty to uphold the law
The Standards Committee has a key role in supporting and training Members in compliance with the Code of Conduct but also may have a role in authorising investigations for potential breaches of the Code of Conduct and enforcing its provisions.
The Standards Committee is comprosed of eight Elected Members and a representative from each of the Haigh and Shevington Parish Councils.
The current Membership is:
- Councillor K Aldred
- Councillor Brierley
- Councillor Dewhurst
- Councillor Ellis
- Councillor Halliwell (Chairman)
- Councillor Holland
- Councillor Sharratt
- Councillor Walker
- Parish Councillor Chadwick
- Parish Councillor Thomson
The Committee is advised by the Council’s Monitoring Officer, John Mitchell (Head of Service - Legal and Risk).
Local authorities are responsible for operating a locally based system for the initial assessment of complaints that a Member may have breached the Code of Conduct. From 1 July 2012, the Monitoring Officer assesses complaints in consultation with an Independent Person. This function was previously undertaken by the Standards Assessment Sub Committee.
Anyone who believes that a Member of the Council may have breached the Code of Conduct can make a complaint to the Monitoring Officer. Each complaint will be assessed to establish whether it falls within the Standards Committee's jurisdiction. A decision will be made on whether any action should be taken either by way of investigation or alternative measure. This does not mean that the Monitoring Officer has made up his/her mind about the allegation, it means that the he/she has concluded that the alleged conduct, if proven, may amount to a failure to comply with the Code of Conduct.
The only types of complaints that can investigated, are those which involve an alleged breach of the Code of Conduct, which includes a Member:-
(a) doing anything which may knowingly cause the Council to breach the Equality Act 2010;
(b) bullying or being abusive to any person;
(c) intimidating or attempt to intimidate any person who is or is likely to be involved in a complaint;
(d) compromising or is likely to compromise the impartiality of those who work for, or on behalf of, the Council.
(e) disclosing confidential information.
(f) conducting themselves in a manner which could reasonably be regarded as bringing their office or the Council into disrepute.
(g) using or attempting to their position as a Member improperly to confer on or secure for themselves or any other person, an advantage or disadvantage
(h) improperly using, or authorising the use by others, of the authority's resources
The Independent Person
The Localism Act 2011 requires the Council as part of its arrangements for dealing with complaints to appoint at least one Independent Person.
The Independent Person is someone at arm’s length from the Council who, in the event of an allegation of breach of the Council’s Code of Conduct, will be available to be consulted by both the Monitoring officer, and the Member who is the subject of the allegation, before a decision is made by the Monitoring Officer on an allegation.
Wigan Council has appointed two Independent Persons owing to the fact that there may be conflicts of interest where both the Council and the subject member wish to consult them.
How to make a Complaint
If you believe that a Member may have breached the Code of Conduct please submit your complaint in writing, together with any supporting documents, to:-
The Head of Service Legal and Risk (Monitoring Officer)
Wigan WN1 1YN
Telephone: 01942 827026
Fax: 01942 827093
A guidance note on How to make a complaint about a breach by a Member (.pdf, 41kb) has been prepared – and a Complaints Form (.pdf, 38kb) should be used.
Please note that your identity and details of your complaint will be disclosed to the subject Member. This information will only be withheld in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Monitoring Officer. If you consider that the information should be withheld, please indicate the reason(s) with your complaint.


In foreign policy and development circles, experts have for some time been warning of the rising impact extremism – particularly in an Islamic context – has on women and the dangers of simplifying their roles in the spread of radical ideology.
At Women & Girls, we saw an opportunity to delve deeper into what we think is an under-explored phenomenon. Looking at parts of the world where extremism is having the biggest impact on women’s lives, we spoke to experts, former extremists, and citizens who devote their lives to fighting radicalism.
We’ll be adding articles as the series develops.
WOMEN & JIHAD: GLOBAL HOTSPOTS
Women are victims and perpetrators of Islamic extremism the world over, but media often deal with each example in isolation. Our series brings many of these stories together, giving an overview of the global trends and exploring the potential for joint solutions.
Two Women, Different Worlds
Yasmin Mulbocus: reformed recruiter for the Islamic State
Now a mentor for girls at risk of radicalization, Mulbocus was once a recruiter for a banned Islamic terrorist organization. She tells us she joined as an idealistic teen drawn by the group’s utopian vision of the future.
Kenza Isnasni: ACTIVIST WHO CHOSE PEACE OVER ANGER
For some, being the target of racism can lead to radicalization. For Kenza Isnasni, it did the opposite. The killing of her parents by a right-wing radical could have driven her to anger, but instead it inspired her to fight extremism in all its forms.
an in-depth look at the diverse ways in which women are affected by radicalization – as victims, perpetrators and peacemakers
Last year, on the first weekend in September, a car was found with its hazard lights flashing near Notre Dame Cathedral in the center of Paris. The Peugeot 607, which had no number plate, contained six full gas cylinders and several documents written in Arabic. A few days later, three women aged 19, 23 and 39 were arrested in a small town 18 miles (29km) southeast of Paris. Police say all three were radicalized by Islamic extremists and were known to anti-terrorism investigators. Officers later produced a letter they say was written by one of the women that pledged allegiance to ISIS. The letter said the planned attack on Notre Dame was revenge for an airstrike that had killed the group’s deputy leader.
Three days after the arrests in France, on the anniversary of 9/11, three young women aged between 19 and 25 walked into a police station in Mombasa, Kenya, one allegedly brandishing a knife and another throwing a petrol bomb. All three were killed by police, who claim sisters Maimuna and Ramla Abdulrahman and a school friend, Tasnim Yakubu, were wearing suicide vests under their black abayas. A letter allegedly written by the sisters pledging allegiance to ISIS has surfaced, but has not been independently verified.
Kosovo Looks to ISIS Wives in Order to Fight Extremism
Most Kosovar men who travel to Syria and Iraq to fight with ISIS are accompanied by their wives. We talk to counterterrorism experts who believe these women could be the key to challenging violent extremism.
‘We Didn’t Raise Terrorists’: How One Mother Lost Her Son to ISIS
Azizah Sayah’s son died in Syria after joining the ranks of the so-called Islamic State. She tells her story and shares her mission to prevent other French young people from leaving to fight in radical Islamist movements.
‘He Was the Love of My Life’: Why Women Marry Into Boko Haram
Since it began its military campaign against the Nigerian government in 2009, the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram has kidnapped hundreds of girls. But some young women join the group voluntarily, raising questions about how to help them when they come back home.
Selling the Militant Dream: ‘You Come Here to Live, Not to Die’
How ISIS depicts women in its official propaganda tells us a lot about the role it sees for female members of the group. We speak with researcher Charlie Winter about the power of the extremist promise.
Freed from ISIS, Yazidi Women Remain Trapped by Trauma
Some of those working with Yazidi former slaves say they have never before seen such severe psychological trauma. Experts tell us there are not enough resources to provide long-term care to all of the survivors, who could take a lifetime to recover.
Former Boko Haram Captives Face Stigma, Often From Other Survivors
Escape from Boko Haram doesn’t always mean the end of the ordeal, as former militants’ ‘wives’ are often rejected and verbally abused by other female abductees.
In Jordan, Women More Vulnerable to Effects of Extremism, Says Report
From our archives: As Jordan struggles with rising extremism, a U.N. report suggests women are much more vulnerable than men to the effects of radicalization, such as an increase in domestic violence and being blamed if their children join an extremist group.
From East London to Kenya: The Women Waging War on Extremism
The role of women in countering violent extremism has gained momentum over the past few years. We look at the people and programs challenging the male-dominated security scene and offering new ways to combat the threat of radicalization.
Escape From ISIS: Freedom and Justice for Yazidi Women and Girls
ISIS has captured, enslaved and abused thousands of women and girls from the Yazidi minority in Iraq. We meet the Yazidi women and men living abroad who are working to free the captives and hold the perpetrators to account.
More Than Just Mothers: The Changing Roles of Women in Extremism
Fauziya Abdi represents a network of women’s organizations in Kenya working to prevent violent extremism. She says women’s increasingly diverse roles within radical groups call for a more sophisticated approach to the problem.
The Covert Project to Help Mothers Push Back Against the Taliban
We look at how one charity in Pakistan’s Swat Valley worked undercover with mothers of young Taliban recruits to help them spot signs of radicalization and find ways to intervene before their sons carried out acts of violence.
Why Women Are Crucial to Fighting Radicalization in Afghanistan
Mariam Safi is one of just a handful of researchers focusing on the role of women in post-conflict peace building in Afghanistan. She tells us about the pivotal role women can play in combating the Taliban.
With a Game of Basketball, Girls Dribble Round Extremism in Somalia
When al-Shabab controlled Mogadishu, women could be punished for playing sports. We meet the young female ballplayers who are challenging lingering Islamist ideology in the city.
Female Peacekeepers Fight Militants and Prejudice in Somalia
The number of women joining military and police ranks across Africa is rising. We meet the female peacekeepers in Somalia who are taking on al-Shabab, both on the front lines and in the battle against extremist ideology.
To Fight Violent Extremism, Security Sector Must Include More Women
In order to tackle violent extremism, women must be better represented in the security sector – including at the highest levels, says Camilla Bognoe of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
Ten Women Leaders in Counter-Extremism
these women have committed to combating the spread of extremist ideology
They are activists, psychologists and politicians, from Austria to Somalia, often working directly with perpetrators, potential recruits or victims of terrorism. Meet 10 women who are leading the way in efforts to understand the roots of radicalization and the strategies to stopping it in its tracks.
FROM THE EXPERTS
At a recent panel on women and extremism co-hosted by Women & Girls and The Frontline Club in London, we asked the speakers about what drives women to violent jihad and what can be done to stop the trend.

Couple Arrested for Allegedly Starving Child
Shreveport Police were called to a home in Broadmoor after a 14-year-old juvenile escaped and ran to a neighbor for help.
Patrol officers responded to Coldwell Street on reports of a welfare concern. Arriving officers made contact with a citizen who advised that a juvenile neighbor came to her home looking for food. The neighbor was concerned due to his appearance and called police. Police called the Shreveport Fire Department and the juvenile was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Detectives with the Youth Services Bureau and the Crime Scene Unit were summoned to the scene. During their preliminary investigation, they learned that the child had been locked in his room since March. Doctors described the juvenile’s condition as extremely malnourished.
Detectives were able to get a search warrant on the residence and were able to take two suspects, 30-year-old Kari Barber and 39-year-old Cassidy Dunn, into custody. Following interviews, investigators charged both women with one count each of 2nd degree cruelty to a juvenile and false imprisonment. The investigation is ongoing.
