The reason? From regional favorites to national touring acts, no matter what your musical taste, there’s something for everyone. But don’t take … Read More
Our show hosts on KBAC 98.1 Radio Free Santa Fe play lots of great songs, but even they have their favorites! We asked Honey Harris, Michelle, and Chris D. to compile a list of their top songs played on KBAC in 2022. They all noted that it was harder than one would think to narrow the hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of songs they play to a top ten list. Chris D. went the extra mile and gave his top 10 … Read More

Devon Baldwin And G-Eazy Photos, News And Videos, Trivia And Quotes
His mother — photographer, printmaker and former San Francisco Art Institute professor Suzanne Olmsted — is in the roped-off area, standing, not sitting, beaming like a proud mom. Backed by a DJ and a drummer, the tall, lean rapper is dressed entirely in black as he performs numbers from his debut CD, “These Things Happen,” which has sold more than 100,000 copies since its June release. Along with singer Kehlani, he recorded the song Good Life for the soundtrack of the 2017 movie The Fate of the Furious. While we don’t know Devon Baldwin birth time, but we do know her mother gave birth to her on a Thursday. People born on a Thursday are naturally well-meaning and open.
Not long after ending things with Yungblud, Halsey started dating the American Horror Story actor. In October 2019, they made their debut public appearance as a couple when they dressed up as Sonny and Cher for Halloween. G-Eazy was once in a relationship with singer, actress, and model Devon Baldwin. They first met while studying at the Loyola University at New Orleans. In 2008, the song Candy Girl became widely popular, and was included in The Epidemic LP in 2009. As he started to attract fans, following the example of a band from his high school, he decided to begin touring to build up a fan base.
Devon Baldwin is part of a Millennial Generation (also known as Generation Y). Millennials is a generation who grew up with computers, internet and social networks. Having been raised under the mantra “follow your dreams” and being told they were special, they tend to be confident and tolerant of difference.
It all showcases Blackbear as a daring R&B forward-thinker. Halsey and her British bae had been hanging out since around November 2018, when she slid into Yungblud’s DMs with just her phone number and a black heart. The couple were photographed kissing several times and even released a song, ’11 Minutes’ together. The songstress announced on January 27 that she’s pregnant with her first baby with a stunning post on Instagram, confirming Alev Aydin is the father of her baby tagging him in her baby bump pictures. G-Eazy has confessed to drinking too much in the past.

G-Eazy‘s relationship with Halsey is definitely one of his most well-known relationships due to the fact that they were so publicly turbulent. They got things started in August 2017 and officially ended things in October 2018. He is extremely good looking, super charming, very suave, and majorly talented. Whether one is driving their car in traffic or in the middle of a party, a G-Eazy song can make the mood so much better. They barely left one another’s sides and looked very lovey-dovey.
They were kissing and whispering in each other’s ears. It wasn’t just the two of them-they had come with the same group of friends. Eazy indeed has a taste for musicians, he has been linked to a number of female musicians starting with singer Devon Baldwin, Lana Del Rey, and lately with Ashley Frangipane. G-Eazy also allegedly proposed to Devon for marriage.
All I could do was continue to hold your hand, so I laid my head on your shoulders and we looked out the opening of the window in silence. After 20 minutes or so, I lifted my head and pulled yours to the side so it was facing mine. I told you to look into my eyes, you did of course. “I’m deeply in love with you, and my only desire in this universe is to marry you,” I told you. I opened my palm and thought to myself, “I want to catch each one.” Of course I couldn’t, but I most certainly tried as hard as it was physically possible. After a few minutes, you pulled my hand inside and rubbed the performance that the snowflake had given.
Jacob added that the current trend where people go ‘celibate’ for a period of time can be harmful. We do not have any technical details for this video. She had been spotted going on dates with him, including to LA theme park, Six Flags Magic Mountain, in September. “I put the seal on that relationship and fully purged myself of the feelings for that person at the same time as I finished my record.” Sloane Solomon is a professional writer and editor. She graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelors in English Writing.
About G-Eazy and Devon Baldwin:
However, toward the start of 2020 she removed a number of photos of him from her Instagram page so fans assumed they’d split. “I’m eager to continue the upcoming passage of time dedicating myself to my art and my career, and the duration of my tour. I wish him the best. Thanks for respecting our privacy at this time.” Halsey dated the Norwegian producer between 2015 and 2016 and revealed her album, ‘Hopeless Fountain Kingdom’ was inspired by their relationship. Here’s everything you need to know about her dating timeline from Evan Peters and Yungblud to Alev Aydin. Halsey revealed in 2015 that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she was a teenager. She also attempted suicide as a teenager and spent time in a psychiatric hospital.
He sold the tapes for $5 each along Telegraph Avenue — netting as much as $50 on what he considered a good day — when he wasn’t grilling sausages at Top Dog. He’s fond of the neighborhood, remembering his mom taking him there every Christmas season to shop. Robert Hilburn’s biography of Johnny Cash, who the rapper says inspired his all-black attire, rests on a coffee table. She passes it; he takes a puff, exhales and hands it back. G-Eazy, 25, is white, and the vast majority of the Sacramento audience is also young and white. All are standing, save for a handful in the small VIP section with seats, as he bounces up and down onstage while spitting out his self-written, profanity-laced lyrics.
Things took a very serious turn when Halsey revealed she’s pregnant on Jan. 27, sharing pictures of her growing baby bump. Alev commented on the announcement, “Heart so full, I love you, sweetness.” This romance blossomed during the coronavirus pandemic, allowing the singer and screenwriter to fly under the radar for many months. Their first sighting together was in October 2020, but some Instagram detectives discovered that the duo got matching tattoos together just a few months prior. Alev’s words of adoration confirmed the dating rumors that first sparked when the pair was first spotted together in October 2020.
She is a singer who has sung songs such as Knock You Down, Angel Cry, Shot For Me, and more. By the summer of last year, however, he was traveling across the country on a band bus while opening for hip-hop star Lil Wayne. Gillum alternatives to lespark had just signed with the Blueprint Group, a Southern California firm that also currently manages Lil Wayne, Drake, T.I. Gillum began making mix tapes at home with the aid of a $150 microphone and a free Internet program.

COVID-19 coronavirus testing began in all 17 Stonerise Healthcare skilled nursing centers around West Virginia on Friday, April 24. The testing was to be administered over the next several days. Testing here at the Berkeley Springs Center has been completed for both residents and staff, said a facility spokesperson.
Tests were administered by Stonerise Healthcare clinicians under the direction of the West Virginia National Guard and LabCorp, West Virginia’s COVID-19 testing vendor.
West Virginia Governor Jim Justice issued an executive order on April 17 mandating the testing of all state nursing home patients and staff members.
As of Monday, The Berkeley Springs Center had 77 current patients and had reported 24 negative COVID-19 tests on Stonerise’s testing dashboard. There were no positive test results being reported as of Monday morning.
Stonerise officials said 127 staff members at the Berkeley Springs Center were also tested for COVID-19. The Stonerise dashboard does not have a column to report staff test results, but any positive results would have to be reported to the Morgan-Berkeley County Health Department and would show up on the county’s case reporting.
Berkeley Springs Center administrator Charles Griffith said that all of their residents were tested for the virus last Thursday and that they were waiting for the rest of the results.
None of the statewide Stonerise nursing facilities currently has any positive COVID-19 cases except for their Eastbrook facility in Charleston, which had 16 positive cases and 89 negative test results out of 105 patients.
The Stonerise Healthcare website has posted testing information from each of its facilities as to the number of current patients and the number of negative tests and positive tests. The information is to be updated daily.
Dr. James Malone, Stonerise Healthcare Chief Medical Director, noted that based on what they’ve learned from testing and community spread that individuals can test positive for COVID-19 without having previously experienced or presented any symptoms. Many have the virus and don’t know that they do, he said.
“For this reason, we expect our centers will have employee and patient positive cases,” Malone said.
“If a patient tests positive for the virus, regardless of symptoms, they will transition to a COVID-19-ready unit for their safety and the safety of those around them. These units are in place at each of the 17 skilled nursing centers supported by Stonerise,” according to an April 23 Stonerise Healthcare press release.
Patients will be removed from the total negative confirmed COVID-19 cases if a follow-up test produces a positive result. Patients are removed from the total confirmed COVID-19 positive test result numbers if a follow-up test shows a negative result.
Stonerise Healthcare say they continue efforts to keep patients and employees safe and healthy, which include restricting visitor access, continually sanitizing buildings and supplies and providing equipment and training to employees. The agency has 3,000 employees statewide.

Right now, the Federal Reserve System and the European Central Bank have a dilemma.
Last week the value of the Euro reached $1.2000 for a short time, although the price dropped off to $1.1842 at the close of the week.
The general market feeling is that, if anything, the price of the Euro should rise further.
But, this thought is bringing pressure on Christine Lagarde, the ECB president, to “talk down” the Euro so that the currency does not become too strong and hurt the economy of the European Union and possibly hold down inflation.
Yet, to some, to do this also carries risks.
Stephen Gallo, European head of FX strategy at BMO, has argued,
But at the same time she has to be careful. If they fire that bullet and it only has limited impact, that could be even worse.”
The value of the Euro could grow even stronger.

Four teenagers were robbed of their phones, iPad and bike in Wellingborough.
The three boys and a girl were in Croyland Park at about 7.45pm on Tuesday, listening to music on an iPad mini and using their mobile phones when they were approached by a man.
He threatened them, stole their phones, an iPod and a mountain bike.
The man is described as black, about 6ft, slim and aged about 18.
He was wearing black or dark tracksuit bottoms, a dark Adidas jacket with a lighter logo on the chest and red stripes down the arms.
He was carrying a small black bag and wearing Timberland-style boots.
After the incident police have issued the following advice: If you are out and about during the hours of darkness, walk with a group of friends if possible, keep away from dark and quiet places which are off the beaten track, wear a bag across your body or under your coat, do not carry all your money and valuables in one place and do not advertise the fact that you are carrying valuables like mobile phones, tablets or iPods.
Elsewhere in the town, two men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of vehicle crime on Wednesday.
One of the men and the woman, 22, was arrested after getting out of a stolen white Peugeot in Great Park Street.
The other man, 23, was arrested a short while later and two other vehicles were recovered.
All three remain in custody at the Criminal Justice Centre in Northampton.

NEWARK, NJ - Entrepreneur David Toler, CEO of New Jersey Memorials, one of New Jersey’s oldest minority owned monument firms, and avid jazz and music aficionado, will host an hour on WBGO FM Jazz Radio 88.3 FM (wbgo.org.) on Saturday, June 18, 3:00 -4:00 p.m.
Toler, a longtime resident of Montclair, will join regular Saturday on-air host Monifa Brown Carson who appears during the 2-6 p.m. time-slot. Toler secured the coveted opportunity to make an appearance on the ‘world’s greatest jazz station’ during a recent fundraising drive -- the bedrock foundation of the listener supported public radio station. Toler will use the opportunity to challenge friends and listeners to call in a pledge while he’s on the air. His goal is to raise $10,000.
Toler plans to play a very entertaining and diverse repertoire of his favorite music that he describes in vivid terms as the “Toler Songbook.” It is a repertoire of music that features classic mainstream jazz as well as other classic forms of jazz influenced R&B, Gospel and Blues. Toler will also dedicate his on air appearance to the late Jazz aficionado and WBGO substitute host Stan Meyers and Pioneer Educator, Realtor and East Orange Civic Leader Jesse Jeffries. Toler is a product of a prominent musical family in Newark and was a distinguished music educator in the Newark School System.
“I’m excited and pleased to once again have the opportunity to host an hour with Monifa Carson on Jazz Radio 88. I have long admired Ms. Carson’s legacy of service and her extraordinary expertise as one of the best on-air jazz hosts in the business. What’s more important is that my appearance represents an opportunity for others to call in a pledge while I’m on the air to help keep Jazz Radio 88 and America’s classic music alive and well. I am hopeful that my presence will be a positive influence and we can meet a fundraising goal of $10,000. It should be a very enjoyable experience for a very worthy cause,” David Toler stated.
Listeners can make a pledge to WBGO FM by calling 800-499-9246 or online at wbgo.org.

In light of improving conditions related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, UNC Wilmington (UNCW) will now offer multiple in-person and virtual graduation ceremonies for spring 2021 graduates.
General graduation ceremonies (not separated by school or college) will be held in Trask Coliseum between May 7 and 8. Specific times include Friday, May 7 at 1 p.m.; Friday, May 7 at 5 p.m.; Saturday, May 8 at 9 a.m.; and Saturday, May 8 at 1 p.m.
The virtual ceremony will be available on May 7 at 1 p.m.
“Although the university initially announced a virtual May commencement, improving conditions and the rollout of vaccines have made it possible to consider modified in-person ceremonies. We value the feedback we received through a survey of the Class of 2021, which helped shape plans for the upcoming ceremonies,” as written in the announcement.
Graduates who choose to attend an in-person ceremony will receive one ticket for themselves and one guest ticket. Graduates and their guests will sit together and be required to wear face masks and remain socially distanced from others.
Seating will be randomly assigned throughout Trask Coliseum. Each in-person ceremony is first-come, first-serve and graduates must register and RSVP prior through their commencement registration account.
Additionally, each graduate will be recognized individually, whether they choose virtual or in-person attendance.
“Graduates’ names will be called individually with a slide displaying their name, degree earned, Latin honors (if applicable) and a personal photo. Graduates will be asked to stand, if they are able, to be recognized when their name is called,” as stated on the commencement website.
All ceremonies and departmental celebrations will be livestreamed and fully closed-captioned for remote viewing.
More information regarding spring 2021 commencement can be found on their website.


I have tried all the troubleshooting steps counteless times already and I can confirm Bose 700 headphones has backward compatibility issues with older bluetooth versions:
- When I connect them to my laptop (Windows 10) via Bluetooth(ver 4.x) , it says Laptop name Lost every now and then. This happens even if the only device connected is laptop. It has nothing to do with 2 devices connected at the same time.
- I tried a bluetooth transmitter Avantree Priva III which is also 4.x , it keeps saying device name Lost so frequently even though there is nothing in between headphone and the device
- I switched to RHA Bluetooth Adapter which is ver 5 and it never looses the connection
- It has never lost connection to iPhone x which is on Bluetooth version 5 as well.
Even though I love these headphones, its quite frustrating that it cant keep the connection with the laptop for continous skype for business calls.

Cherry Tomato and Onion Saute
- Ready In:
- Halve cherry tomatoes, trim and halve onions (an equal amount of regular onion can be used- it's not as pretty, but it's quicker!).
- In a hot skillet, add a small amount of chicken broth.
- Add onions and saute over medium heat until they begin to soften and start to brown slightly, about 5 minutes (depends on the size of your onions, though!) Add tomatoes, and reduce heat to medium low.
- Add more broth if pan looks dry.
- When tomatoes have begun to soften, add spices, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Serve hot.

OMG! Christine, this is FANTASTIC!!! I only had 1/2 a pint tomatoes so used an equal amount of onion (I went the 'not so pretty' route, but regular onions worked great.) I admit, I like everything either spicy or very flavorful so I used the full amount of spices called for. I also used 1/2 of a large vegetable bouillon cube, dissolved in 1/4 C water. Somehow the mustard powder and cumin work together! I was a little worried about the spices but I'm so glad I went for it. The combination is different and sooooo delicious! Thanks for a definite "keeper" recipe.

Now I can almost guarantee that at most stages in your life you will be stuck with someone who is, as my nan would put it, a negative Nelly! So the question I am asking you all to think about today is this: how do you remain positive around these types of people?
Well, do you want to know what I think? You’re still reading so I shall assume you do. By having compassion, showing sympathy and empathy, and most importantly talking to them. I know you’ve heard it all before but it really is true – you never know what a person could be going through, so be there for them if they need a friend to confide in or even just someone who will listen to what they have to say. If people are good at hiding anything it’s their problems, negativity and bitterness are just another way of masking sadness and fear so whatever you do, don’t add to this.
For the above reasons especially, you should never take it personally when people are negative. I know first hand this can be incredibly hard at times and sometimes it makes you want to give up on them but I promise if you can make them smile even once a day it is so worth persevering. It’s important to remember that every single person is going through or has been through something no one else will understand and that everyone’s journey in life is different. You will not always be able to understand what another person is experiencing but that doesn’t mean you can’t be there for them. Think of this as an opportunity to be more empathetic, to imagine how you would feel if their situation was yours. Even the most positive of people will know you can’t be positive all the time…
But say you talk to them and discover there is absolutely nothing going on, this person is just negative and rude with no reason, what then? You grin and bear it! I personally have found one of the most effective ways of staying positive is simply by smiling, even when you aren’t totally happy with what’s going on. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there’s no point in stressing over what you can’t control. And let’s be honest, the way you react to people and situations will always say a lot about you. You will learn a lot about who you are as a person when you are faced with negativity so think of it as a learning curve on your road to self-discovery.
So basically what I’m trying to say is…
And if all that fails, just adhere to that age-old saying and kill them with kindness!

What Obama Will Not Say at the SOTUBy John Fricke
The annual take-a-stab guessing game of what any president will say at the State of the Union address is now on. If I might, I would like to play the other side of that card. Here is what President Obama will not say in his SOTU speech.
-- That he has heard the American people clearly. That he understands the concerns about government-run health care. That he knows now that liberals forcing a government takeover of the health care system threatens serious economic problems and worse threatens individual liberties.
-- That forcibly making individuals buy a product is un-American. That all Americans do have access to health care; it's just that some cannot afford health insurance.
-- That our national debt is, in fact, a crisis and a national security issue.
-- That printing money and spending it lavishly on Democratic political interests and even on himself through parties, vacations, and golf was wrong.
-- That his party's polities overseeing Fannie and Freddie were, in fact, the core problem in the housing crisis. That government-ordered housing for all is a massive failure.
-- That government takeovers of private companies are problematic, to the tune of socialistic.
-- That his policies punish private companies and American workers by using phony scare tactics to stop and prevent us from becoming more energy independent.
-- That his Jeremiah Wright-taught knee-jerk reaction of automatically assuming racism in this country was beyond wrong. That white cops should not be automatically presumed guilty of racism. That black radicals are not automatically assumed innocent of voter intimidation. That he has failed beyond measure in improving racial relations, that he and his party have strained racial relations even farther, and worse, that his party has done so intentionally.
-- That many states are now in economic peril, and even critical fiscal danger, because of unfunded pensions of public workers handed out mostly by Democratic politicians seeking not only to buy votes, but to own those votes forever by bribing individuals into a lifetime on the government dole.
-- That individuals in economically viable conservative states will be forcibly taxed to pay for the gross excesses in economically unstable liberal-run states.
-- That the continued lack of success in government-run public education is due in large part to teachers' unions that place job security as a first priority. That school vouchers do work, and that the grossest hypocrisy in our nation comes from the elite liberals who send their children to private schools while protecting unions by standing against vouchers.
-- That Mexico is a near-failed state. That our southern border is at great risk of spinning out of control. That our federal government has failed in one of its core duties: to protect our borders. That the states being forced to act individually to protect themselves are, in fact, right to do so.
-- That our porous border leads to serious felonies that endanger our citizens through narcotics traffic and human smuggling and even permits aid to foreign terrorists.
-- That the New START offered to Russia puts our country at great risk. That all but abandoning the space program puts us at the mercy of the Europeans, Russians, and even Indians to even get into space to advance our objectives and protect our interests.
-- That Americans should never bow to foreign leaders. That Great Britain is special to us. That we will, as we should, stand behind Israel. That our allies matter more than our enemies.
-- That offering at least vocal support of liberty to those seeking it, as in the case of the Iranian uprising, is in our best interest, and that a failure to do so is tremendously damaging. That in great part, his foreign policy has put us at a disadvantage.
-- That the United States' military's main goal is not to act as an experimental social and cultural club.
-- That making "Muslim outreach" a part of the mission statement of NASA was pointless, feel-good blabber.
-- That freedom is far, far more important than "fairness."
-- That liberty is far, far more important than equality of outcome.
-- That changing the verbiage of "global warming" because it's been so cold, to "global climate disruption" does not change the falsity of the claim that man is responsible for the weather.
-- And that it is leftists' rage and propaganda that are the most uncivil acts in our country.
In other words, what the president will not say in his state of the union is...the truth.

THERE is still time to see a Russian film at Altea’s Social Centre this evening at 7pm.

The wife of an American Christian pastor imprisoned in Iran told lawmakers Friday in emotional testimony on Capitol Hill that she's "disappointed" with the State Department's lackluster involvement in the case -- as her lawyers accused the government of going completely "AWOL" in the face of Saeed Abedini's plight, Fox News reports. Naghmeh Abedini described how her two young children could not understand what happened to their father, who was sentenced to eight years in prison in January: "They kept saying, 'Does Daddy not love us anymore?' ... And I had to tell them that he was in prison because he loved Jesus." The description of the State Department's involvement in the case provided by witnesses Friday stood in stark contrast to what administration officials have claimed in response to questions from the media. While U.S. officials have claimed they're pressing for Abedini's release, the witnesses said a State Department desk officer last year told Naghmeh "there is nothing the United States government can do for you." Attorney Jordan Sekulow said the same officer called Naghmeh as she was boarding the plane for Washington on Thursday to tell her, "You've never asked for our help." The State Department also declined to attend the hearing Friday despite being invited. "The State Department is AWOL," fellow attorney Jay Sekulow claimed. "I'm disappointed that our president and our State Department has not fully engaged in this case," Naghmeh said. "I'm disappointed that this great country is not doing more to free my husband -- a U.S. citizen. I expect more from our government."

Chelsea Green has been very busy since WWE released her in April. The former Hot Mess returned to Impact Wrestling and she’s been in ROH and plans to work the NWA Empowerrr event as well. Even with a cast on her wrist, Chelsea Green is getting a lot accomplished.
According to a report from Fightful Select, Chelsea Green is talking to more than just Impact Wrestling, ROH, and the NWA. She also has a desire to work in Mexico for AAA, but that hasn’t happened yet due to the pandemic.
She’s also spoken with AAA about working there, but the resurgence in the pandemic seems to have slowed things down.
Chelsea Green has not signed a new contract with any company, so she’s been working on pre-date agreements thus far. She has also stayed out of AEW which is a very interesting note considering how close she is with some of the members of that roster.
What’s your take on this story? Sound off in the comments!

JUBA, South Sudan -- The headlines will fade, but the needs will not. South Sudan is a country on a precipice, and all of our help and attention is needed now, and in the months to come, if this new country is to realize its bright future.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the latest violence highlighted a lack of commitment to the peace process.
The peace deal was hanging by a thread until the opposition leader's homecoming.

Name the diet, and I’ve tried it. I’m currently a pescatarian with fish as my main protein source. But I’ve been a carnivore, vegetarian and vegan, too.
Oh, and I dabble in “menu of the future” items such as algae and bugs.
In the last month, I’ve had algae smoothies, algae protein bars and algae chips. It’s not because I’m a particularly adventurous eater or that I love the taste. I actually loathe the mossy flavor of algae.
I eat it because I’m a worry wart when it comes to our environment. We’ve gotten ourselves into some trouble. Our dining habits are a big part of the problem.

Pitt-Bradford is restoring a lost 19th century masterwork painting that hung in the Emery Hotel. In 1964, the hotel was reincarnated as one of the university’s first residence halls. Once “The Emery” became a dormitory, the painting was stashed for safe keeping and forgotten for 55 years. In his final installment, conservators explain the art and science of the painting’s restoration.
CONSERVATORS ARTFULLY RESTORE PAINTING
Restoring “A Venetian Promenade,” the large oil painting found in a Bradford warehouse, has been part art and part science.
All things considered, the painting – which measures 15 feet wide by a little more than 8.5 feet tall in its ornate frame -- wasn’t in as bad shape as conservators feared it would be when it was found in the Carl E. Swanson and Sons warehouse, 55 years after being placed there by Pitt-Bradford.
Forgotten after that time, the painting – although well-crated -- endured changes in temperature and humidity that caused paint loss before being “rediscovered” by the current warehouse owner, Al Swanson.
After an initial examination of the painting, Patricia Colosimo, director of arts programming for Pitt-Bradford, found a conservator, Jeffrey Johnson of Johnson & Griffiths Studio in Harrisburg, to evaluate the condition and merit of the painting.
Meanwhile, Colosimo and Rick Esch, vice president of business affairs, used information on the painting to research the 19th century Italian artist, Tommaso Juglaris, and how the painting came to Bradford via Bradford oil millionaire Pennsylvania Sen. Lewis Emery.
The university hired Johnson to restore both the artwork and its ornate gilt frame. Johnson returned in summer to stabilize the painting. With oil paintings such as this, tinted oil was layered on the canvas and allowed to dry in layers. Over time, bending and moisture can come between the paint and the canvas, separating them.
To keep large pieces of paint from falling off the canvas, Johnson inserted a fine, medical grade needle between the paint layer and the canvas and injected conservation-grade adhesive.
“The paint film itself held together,” Johnson explained, “but it was detached from the canvas.”
With the paint securely in place, he took the painting and its frame to his workshop in Harrisburg, where he removed the canvas from its stretcher, cleaned the existing paint and filled in where paint is missing.
Paintings of the time were regularly finished with a coat of varnish applied after the top of the paint film after it had completely dried. The varnish – often called a sacrificial layer – protected the surface of the painting and could be removed without damaging the paint below.
Over many years, the varnish yellows, changing the appearance of the colors in the painting. Using their knowledge of the probable varnishes used at the time the painting was originally painted, Johnson and his assistant, Jacintha Clark, carefully applied various solvents to small test patches to see what would remove the varnish safely to reveal the painting’s true colors beneath. As they removed the varnish, decades of dirt and atmospheric grime went with it.
In order to work on a piece so large, Johnson had to build a new table in his studio. While cleaning and restoring the center-most parts of the painting, he said, conservators laid foam on the canvas and sat on it.
“It was a drastic change,” he said of the cleaned painting. “It looks as close to the way he painted it as it can. The painter’s colors have come back.”
After removing varnish and other old repair work down to the original paint, Johnson applied a new thin coating of varnish to preserve the original work.
Next, the team evened out the painting’s surface. Johnson explained that oil paint is applied in layers that can be as thick as a few sheets of paper. Just like a wall with peeling paint needs to be spackled, Johnson and Clark built up the surface before concocting historically accurate pigments to repaint in the missing parts.
When exposed under black light, each newly painted part glows, which can show conservators of the future where repairs were made.
Johnson then reinforced the brittle, original canvas by gluing it to a new piece of canvas using reversible thermoplastic adhesives.
“We actually laid the painting face down on our conservation table, applied a solvent-based adhesive, then laid the new canvas with its adhesive onto the original canvas,” Johnson explained.
“We carefully and methodically ironed the back of the new canvas to heat both of the adhesives to right around 150 degrees. We constantly monitored the temperature of the canvas with an infrared thermometer as we ironed to make sure we were not getting the mix too hot, which could damage the original paint film. As the adhesives cool, they become one, but always reversible at around 150 degrees.”
When “A Venetian Promenade” first arrived in America with Juglaris, it did so without a frame. The painter transported the large canvas rolled up. At some point, the painting obtained an American-made gilt frame that extends nearly a foot on each side. Its base is wood covered with ornate three-dimensional patterns made of cast plaster.
Through the years, some of the plaster elements got wet in the warehouse and fell from the frame, leaving unornamented bare wood. Fortunately, the warehouse leaks did not drip onto the painting itself.
Last month, Johnson and his assistant, returned to Bradford with the painting and the frame. While Clark continued to paint in the bare spots on the canvas, Johnson created silicon molds of parts of the frame that can be used to create replacements for the missing ornamentation.
Later this month, Johnson and Clark will return to Pitt-Bradford to finish repairing and cleaning the frame, much of which is gilded – a process by which a fine coat of gold covers something.
Cleaning the gilt can be even trickier than cleaning the painting since artists and furniture makers evolved many techniques over the years. In some places where the gilt began to wear, it was covered with gold paint. The paint looked great at first, but discolored with age.
Once the painting and frame are restored, the science turns to the engineering of hanging such a large painting securely in the KOA Speer Lobby of Blaisdell Hall on the university’s campus, where it will be permanently displayed.
“We’re very excited to see this beautiful piece of artwork restored to its original brilliance and hanging in Blaisdell Hall,” said Dr. Catherine Koverola, Pitt-Bradford’s president, “which will be a constant reminder of Pitt-Bradford’s longstanding connection to the community.”
The painting will not only provide a valuable link between the campus and Bradford’s own gilded age of oil millionaires, but also serve as a teaching tool for Pitt-Bradford students as well as those from the community. Under black light, students will be able to see areas where the painting has been worked on.
A video documentary will detail the restoration and history of the piece.
The university plans to have an event to celebrate its new installment and show the documentary when it is safe to do so.

Wiggles to Walks
A Guide to Infant Development
A light push, a slight flutter,
The start of a whole new rush.
A new life sprouting, a renewed soul,
A tiny, entirely new body developed.
A squirm, a wriggle, a restless dance,
A message was accidentally sent by the infant.
Unheard voices, unsung stories,
A new, daring spirit is beginning to emerge.
The universe is waiting for you with open arms, ready to love, guard, and enchant you.
A voyage starts, a new road must be followed,
The actions of a newborn child, who brings love and light into the world.
So let's cheerfully embrace this new life and watch as it develops and blooms throughout time.
Because a newborn baby's movements are an expression of love and hope as well as a reminder of the beauty and wonder of life itself.

The Nashville Zoo announced the birth of a female Masai giraffe on Tuesday.
The calf was born weighing in at 180 pounds and standing six feet, five inches tall during the early morning hours of December 13.
The baby and her mother, Margarita, are said to be doing well and are resting in the zoo's state-of-the-art giraffe barn.
"We've been tracking Margarita's pregnancy for about a year and estimated her due date to be in early December," Kate Cortelyou, lead giraffe keeper, said. "I arrived at the giraffe barn around 7:30 a.m. to find a dry, healthy, standing baby giraffe, which is the perfect way to find them. We are so thrilled about the latest addition to our herd."
The baby is Margarita's third calf since 2010.
Zoo officials are closely monitoring the baby and will keep her in the giraffe barn for at least the next two months. Keepers will make a decision on the calf's public debut depending on weather conditions.
Each year the Nashville Zoo attracts more than 787,000 visitors annually. For more information on the zoo, visit NashvilleZoo.org.

Louis van Gaal‘s decision to take Radamel Falcao off against Stoke City left Manchester United fans confused and the Colombian looked equally as bemused.
When Falcao realised it was his number on the fourth officials board, he looked around at his team-mates pointing to himself looking for clarification before he jogged off.
Falcao’s face on the bench was indicative of that – confused.
Louis van Gaal was not asked about his decision to take Falcao off and leave Van Persie on when questioned in his post-match press conference but the general consensus is that it is more than likely to do with his fitness. After all, the Colombian had started three games in a week having not done so in a long time. That being said, Falcao didn’t look like he felt ready to come off.
As it turned out, Falcao’s substitution marked a shift in the game as United lost their grip and Stoke began to exert all the pressure. His withdrawal marked the end of United’s attacking threat and by the full-time whistle, a draw was a fair result.

After his customers would wear his footwear, they would send him feedback so that he could design the best shoes.
In 1906 Bass designed his first moccasin. This creation was very innovative for its time as there was no other factory produced shoe like it. Also, during World War 1, Bass designed the Aviation boot. Charles Lindbergh later wore these boots on his ever so famous solo flight.

Known as the world’s largest island country, Indonesia is a fantastic travel destination that you shouldn’t miss out on. Home to picturesque landscapes, diverse flora and fauna, and a novel cultural richness, consider wandering through Wonderful Indonesia on your next Southeast Asian adventure. There’s no shortage of fun activities to do in Indonesia from hiking Mount Bromo, cycling through idyllic Yogyakarta, snorkeling with the manta rays in Nusa Penida, to relaxing in the famous pristine beaches of Bali. If you need some help planning your Indonesia itinerary, keep on reading to ensure you make the most out of the "Emerald of the Equator".
- Tia Kaye
- From England
With lots of ground to cover, the ideal trip to Indonesia should be no less than two weeks to truly explore the country’s vast geography. Spend five to seven days on each island before hopping onto the next – splitting your time between the gorgeous islands of Bali, Lombok, and Java.
If the most you can spare is a long weekend, you can plan a quick 3-day trip but keep it to a single destination. However, keep in mind that a 3-day Indonesia itinerary is really more for rest than exploration, and can only cover one to two activities at most. A longer trip is highly recommended and we suggest spending two weeks to maximize your stay, if not longer.
You can make a three-day Indonesia itinerary work if you’re truly strapped for time. We recommend either cycling through Bali or Lombok in a guided tour, pedaling through breathtaking sceneries while immersing yourself deep in Balinese culture. Bike through the scenic countryside, visit historic temples, see the local villages, and enjoy delicious cuisines. While these islands are renowned for their stunning beaches, Indonesia offers more than sand and sea with a rich landscape of breathtaking rivers, lakes, volcanoes, and more.
Other three-day itineraries include exploring Indonesian wildlife, either with a scuba diving trip in Gili Islands or a wildlife tour to see the famous Komodo dragons. Nature lovers are in for a treat with these adventures that feature diverse land and marine animals such as lizards, orangutans, birds, dolphins, sharks, and mantas.
A seven-day Indonesia itinerary is still a fairly short stay, but you can make the most of your travel by concentrating on a single island. A week-long trip is ideal for an in-depth exploration of Bali. It should give you plenty of time to hit the usual tourist highlights, with enough breathing space to explore roads less traveled.
Start with a laidback journey through the coastal village of Canggu. Popular for its relaxed beach vibes that reflect the peaceful Balinese lifestyle, the charming Canggu has something for every kind of traveler. Spend a tranquil day at the beach, get your surf on, and take memorable travel snaps at the Tanah Lot Temple and Jatiluwih Rice Terraces. From a zen stay in Canggu, travel to Ubud to immerse yourself in the local art, culture, and history. Here you can admire the stunning architecture of the Saraswati Temple and Ubud Palace, and visit the ancient holy sites of Gunung Kawi and Goa Gajah. Finally, end your Bali trip with a wildlife escapade in the blissful seaside town of Sanur.
Whatever kind of traveler you are, there’s sure to be a 10 day Indonesia itinerary that’s your perfect cup of tea. Whether you’re after thrill and adventure, a romantic getaway with a partner, or a sightseeing excursion centered on art and culture, you can explore the majority of the country’s highlights with 10 days at your disposal.
Begin your trip in Ubud which is an all-around travel destination on its own. Considered the art and cultural heart of Indonesia, this town is home to Bali’s most famous landscapes and cultural landmarks. From Ubud, travel to Sanur to find seaside solace. Spend leisurely afternoons with golden sand under your bare feet or cycle around town and trek through lush rice fields. After a few days of zen in Bali, take a quick flight to Java and traverse the other side of Indonesia. See the magnificent Borobudur temple, go hiking up Mount Bromo, and immerse yourself in fine Javanese arts and culture in Yogyakarta.
Two weeks is the perfect length of stay for an Indonesian trip and will allow you a richer and more complete experience of this destination. With a 2-week Indonesia itinerary, you can unlock the best of Bali and Java or chase picture-perfect sunsets at Bali and Lombok.
For the ultimate 14-day adventure, start your journey at stunning UNESCO World Heritage Sites. See the iconic Borobudur Temple up close and visit the magnificent spectacle of Prambanan. After temple hopping in Java, explore the island’s rich landscape of caves, mountains, and forests. Trek through the awe-inspiring Jomblang and Grubug caves or hike the blue fire crater of Ijen Volcano. A sunrise tour at Mount Bromo is also one you shouldn’t miss before heading to Bali for the rest of your two-week trip.

Those expecting to see a dramatic change in Bitcoin’s value should stop hoping; the cryptocurrency doesn’t seem to move from its current value between $370 and $380. Even though there was one price jump in the past several days, most of the time this February the Bitcoin was stuck around $375. The digital currency has been ignoring technical indicators’ signals and events; thus, stubbornly it remains where we left it two days ago.
Nonetheless, at least the world of Bitcoin is not as monotonous as the currency itself. In the past 24 hours there’ve been lots of interesting events that caught our attention and that could, hopefully, push the value per coin in a positive direction.
The situation at the technical indicators changed to the positive too; so, maybe this week will be the one when the Bitcoin ship finally gets wind in its sails and moves forward.
Bitcoin Might Split in Two; Investors Still Believe in Bitcoin Companies
Well, there are some amazing things that happened very recently and Bitcoin can be pretty proud of them. However, before proceeding to positive news, we would like to mention one scary possibility highlighted by the Verge.
Reportedly, there are two sides whose ideas for the cryptocurrency are moving in opposite directions; if this continues we could witness the Bitcoin split in two! Obviously, such a thing would hurt the Bitcoin and definitely lower its value. Therefore, we hope the parties would find a way to work together and prevent this from happening.
Aside from this worrisome possibility, everything else was quite good actually. The Wired wrote that Valve’s Steam might start accepting Bitcoin payments very soon. According to the magazine, Valve’s content would probably be made available to Bitcoin users via BitPay.
Additionally, we had a chance to see that investors still have faith in the digital currency thanks to a Bitcoin company that raised lots of cash from big names in the industry. The article reveals that Bitcoin-related businesses in 2015 generated venture capital money of $485 million, which is more than any other year in the past.
Finally, the last news we found amusing for today is the Bitcoin textbook published by Princeton. Its first complete draft can be accessed for free and features over 300 pages. Princeton University stated that the official full version would be available this summer.
Price and Indicators Analysis
Since the price jump noted in the beginning of the month turned out to be a false alarm, we can see the Bitcoin trading for familiar $376.54 per coin. The day’s high, however, reveals newly found strength that almost pushed the currency over $380. Unfortunately, that still hasn’t happened and the day’s high remains at $379.38. The day’s lowest value per coin is $374.81. The volatility is still around the 50% mark with an exact value of 51.62%, whereas the volume has jumped at $64,345,400 or 5,900. Today the market capitalisation of Bitcoin is $5.75 billion.
We aren’t sure whether we’ve seen the technical indicators so positive since the beginning of 2016. Nevertheless, today they send a strong buy signal and predict a price jump. Eight indicators and eight moving averages believe that there are good days in front of the Bitcoin. On the other hand, only four averages are pro-sell and three indicators are neutral.
Regardless of the overall positive atmosphere for the Bitcoin, we once again advise you to trade very carefully. The stagnation over the past days showed us that even when everything points to jump in value, such thing doesn’t necessarily happen.


Ashley Barnes is coping with Nemanja Matic aftermath - Dyche
Last updated on .From the section Football
Ashley Barnes is a "steady lad" coping with the fall-out from his tackle on Nemanja Matic in Saturday's draw at Chelsea, says Burnley boss Sean Dyche.
Matic was sent off after reacting angrily to being struck on the shin with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho describing the challenge as "criminal".
"I just want Barnes to continue playing with the freedom he has been playing," said Dyche.
Barnes was not punished during the match and faces no FA action.
The FA confirmed that because referee Martin Atkinson saw the incident and took no action against the striker at the time, it will not be "re-refereeing" the challenge.
Dyche added: "It's not something that has come his way before but he is a steady lad.
"He's been doing tremendously well for us and the lads are obviously all round that situation, as are the staff, so it's onwards and upwards for him."
Matic was handed a three-match ban for violent conduct reduced to two games after Chelsea lodged an appeal. He will miss Sunday's League Cup final and Wednesday's league match at West Ham.
Dyche on his relations with Jose Mourinho
"Every manager works on behalf of themselves, their team and their club, and every manager has the right to conduct themselves in any way they see fit.
"I have my way of working and I choose my way to deliver messages or to look at situations to look how I operate.
"I have my style and others have theirs. It's just the way it is. It's just the way I have been brought up.
"I think [Jose Mourinho] is a fantastic manager, it's a fantastic club with fantastic players.
"These are just flashpoints that can happen in football."

In November, Routledge will release “Islamic Banking in Pakistan: Shariah-Compliant Finance and the Quest to make Pakistan more Islamic” by Feisal Khan (Hobart and William Smith Colleges). The publisher’s description follows:
Islamic Banking and Finance (IBF) has become a growing force over the past three decades, with Pakistan being one of the IBF pioneers by converting to an ‘interest-free’ banking system in 1985. However, since independence in 1947, there has been continual tension over Pakistan’s essential character, between Islamic Minimalists, who favour a Modernist interpretation of Islam, and those who favour an Islamic Maximalist interpretation that sees Pakistan as a model Islamic state.
This book analyses the push to Islamize Pakistan and its financial system by Islamic revivalists, following the early 1947 debates in the original Constituent Assembly to the final 2002 ruling on IBF of the Shariat Appellate Bench of the Pakistan Supreme Court. It examines the practice and theory behind contemporary Islamic, “Shariah-compliant”, banking. It offers extensive interviews with Pakistani Islamic bankers on the state of their industry and how they see it developing, and provides analysis on how the Islamic banks’ customers differ from those of conventional ones.
Presenting a critical analysis of Pakistan’s IBF experience and offering a new insight into Pakistan’s banking industry that illustrates broader political and social trends in the country, this book will be of interest to specialists on Islam, South Asia and International Economics.

As the time ticks away in this offseason for the Pittsburgh Pirates, the silence is deafening. It seems
the Bucs are done making substantial moves. The team struck the market early and have hit the cruise button since.
Is it ignorance on the Pirates behalf, a display of confidence in their talent or does it boil down to a lack of cash? We personally feel it’s a lack of cash, but since we can’t prove that, we will go with the confidence argument and start looking at the Pittsburgh Pirates rotation.
Jeff Karstens is where we start because he is the most interesting to us. Karstens was left for dead by the Bucs when he was waived in November of 2009 before the Rule 5 Draft. At the time, the Pirates decided to add Ramon Aguero, outfielder Gorkys Hernandez along with Brad Lincoln and Bryan Morris to their 40-man roster. Right-handed pitcher Chris Jakubauskas was claimed off waivers from Seattle shortly after the move, in essence taking the spot Karstens had held.
The right-hander cleared waivers and was invited to spring training. Looking back on all of it now, it’s hard to even imagine what would have happened if any of the teams in baseball would have plucked Karstens from the wire. Thankfully, it didn’t happen and oh what difference a few years makes.
Heading into 2012, Karstens will be looked to improve upon a season in which he pitched an effective 162.1 innings putting up a 1.0 WAR. FanGraphs also has Karstens at 3.38ERA with an xFIP of 4.00. The right-hander who refused to die might actually make some sense for the new improved Pirates defense. At least it appears better on paper.
The 29-year old has numbers that show he is becoming more of a ground ball pitcher after forcing over 46 percent of the bad guys to put a ball on the grass in 2012.
Although he gets little swing and miss, Karstens managed to strand the opposition on the base paths an above average 77 percent of the time.
The down side for the zombie last season was he gave up 22 home runs. The good news is that 20 of them were solo shots.
The 2012 Outlook:
Attitude: Plus Plus. No questions here for the 6’3″ 185 pounder. He simply does what he is told. It doesn’t hurt that he’s not afraid to be an assassian for his teammates.
Ability to improve: We can thank MLB Network’s Al Leiter for Karstens ability to improve when it counts and close out innings.
Durability: It was wise to shut down Karstens for two starts in September. He increased his innings count from 122.2 in 2010 to 162.1 in 2011. Can he put up the strong numbers again with the Pirates needing someone to pick up the innings load?
It’s very difficult to look at Karstens and see a workhorse type arm. It simply hasn’t been shown to this point, but it isn’t something we see as completely unattainable even though Bill James is forecasting just 135 innings for the converted catcher in this upcoming season.
Injuries on the horizon: We’ve seen him working his tail off in past spring trainings, but will his offseason workout regimen bring him to camp in top shape again in 2012? Unless we see Karstens in a few weeks with 15 pounds of muscle packed on his slender frame, it’s hard to imagine Karstens not being on the radar of the new Pirates training staff.
Bottom line: Has Karstens figured out how to pitch or have we seen his career year? We tend to think he’s learned to pitch, let’s just trust another MLB Network talking head says something to jack him off before the season starts. Karstens will be leaned upon to put up consistent numbers when he gets the ball, but it’s hard to think that improving on his 2011 season is even possible.
An effective Jeff Karstens is vital to the Pirates tipping the scales on a winning season, especially in a rotation with question marks heading into the season.

Don’t Over-Think the Nutrition Facts Panel!
Photo retrieved on 4/6/18 from: https://www.specialtyfood.com/news/article/nutrition-labels-fail-help-healthy-food-choices/
There was a time when food was chosen and consumed WITHOUT the burden of first scrutinizing what is now known as the “nutrition facts panel”. No one knew what a “percent daily value” was or cared whether or not the product contained cholesterol.
A quick glance at the nutrition facts panel CAN be useful for example when searching for the spaghetti sauce with the lowest sodium content, or the cereal with the least amount of sugar, or the bread with the highest fiber content. If on the other hand, too much time is wasted agonizing over that little box on the side of food packages, grocery shopping can feel overwhelming. Furthermore… comparing one heavily processed food item with another doesn’t exactly get the job done when it comes to being healthy.
Try keeping it simple by focusing mainly on the purchase of real food items from all around the grocery store (vegetables, nuts, beans, fruits, peanut butter, whole oats, eggs, cheeses, etc.). For prepared items the ingredients list is useful for assuring that food products do not contain unwanted surprises such as xanthan gum in your salsa, carrageenan in your almond milk or high fructose corn syrup in your ketchup.
Many factors, including our budget, our preferences and our cooking skills ultimately influence our food choices at the grocery store. While the “nutrition facts panel “may at times be of value, we can certainly make delicious and healthy choices without it.

First recorded by Walter Van Brunt (US #9 1915).
Other hit versions by Gene Austin (US #3 1928), Teddy Wilson & His Orchestra (US #6 1936), Bing Crosby (US #14 1939), Sam Donahue & His Orchestra (US #5 1945), Tommy Edwards (US #26/R&B #27/UK #29 1959).
From the wiki: “‘Melancholy Baby’ was written by Ernie Burnett with lyrics by his wife, Maybelle Watson. First publicly performed (as ‘Melancholy’) in 1912 by William Frawley (‘Fred Mertz’ on I Love Lucy), the song was first recorded in 1915 by Walter Van Brunt, Thomas Edison’s favorite tenor. The song title was changed in ‘My Melancholy Baby’ in 1914. The first popular recording was made by Gene Austin in 1928 (Van Brunt’s popularity was based on sheet-music sales). Teddy Wilson’s 1936 recording featured an 18-year Ella Fitzgerald, who was pulled into the session at the last minute when Billie Holiday couldn’t attend the date.
“Songwriter Burnett was seriously wounded in France during World War I. He lost his memory together with his identity dog-tags. While recuperating in hospital, a pianist entertained the patients with popular tunes including ‘Melancholy Baby’. Burnett rose from his sickbed and exclaimed: ‘That’s my song!’

The Hobbit was my favorite book for my mother to read to me. She claims she probably read it 13 times over many years to my sister and me and I don't doubt her. I loved all of Bilbo's adventures from his awkward dinner party to his accidental heroics. It is a brilliant story of an unexpected hero. I still love the book as an adult and I can get more out of reading it for myself now. The movies for the book are even more amazing since the studio added in scenes written but not published in the book. When a studio has a different writer write the screenplay for a book, it becomes quite clear that it is not the same author. Reading is all about promises, and those movies let us down. While I do have nitpicky concerns about Tolkien's world (mostly concerning Gandalf), I will always love The Hobbit.
My younger siblings enjoyed having it read to them too.
JRR Tolkien was born in 1892, was taught at home as a young child, which should make him a homeschooler. Reading at the age of 4, writing soon after. Loved languages, including made up ones.

Justice Khosa recuses to hear Hudaibya Paper Mills case
From Our Correspondent
ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court (SC) Justice Asif Saeed Khosa recused himself yesterday from a three-judge bench constituted to hear the trial regarding National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) plea to reopen Hudaibiya Paper Mills case against the Sharif family. Justice Khosa refused to hear the trial saying that he has received the case by the registrar by mistake. The three-member bench included Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and Justice Mazhar Alam Miankhel. The bench has now been dissolved and now a new bench will be formed. Justice Khosa is the judge who gave a verdict of 14 paragraphs regarding Hudaibiya Paper Mills in the Panama Papers. In the verdict, he had ordered NAB to reopen the case. On September 20, NAB pleaded SC to dismiss Lahore High Court decision to end the Hudaibiya Paper Mills and reopen the case as new evidence had been exposed in the Panama case joint investigation team report. Deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, their mother Shamim Akhtar, younger brother late Abbas Sharif, Nawaz’s children, Maryam and Hussain Nawaz, Hamza Shahbaz, Hudaibiya Paper Mills Ltd and others have been named as respondents in the appeal.
