The Mexican acoustic guitar duo of Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero, better known as Rodrigo y Gabriela, stopped off at the Hollywood Bowl July 14 as part of their summer US tour.
Aside from its beautiful Hollywood outdoor hillside setting, one of the unique aspects of this venue is its relaxed attitude toward attendees bringing their own food and liquor. This is something crowds don’t often get to do elsewhere, so it was no surprise that many members of the crowd were indulging in a bit of wining and dining with friends and family before show and during the opening acts. It made for an enjoyable setting and got everyone in the right spirit, ready and eager to enjoy the headliners.
The opening acts, Lord Huron and DeVotchka, were done by 8:45 p.m., and it was time for Rodrigo y Gabriela to take the stage. The duo appeared at 9 p.m., walked all the way up to the edge of the stage and sat down to begin their 90-minute set.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration or an overstatement to say the set was magical; the sheer range of musicianship they displayed on those acoustic guitars was incredible. Not only was their guitar playing impressive, but they also tapped on the guitars' bodies, using them as percussion instruments.
The set included songs from all their studio albums, plus some new, unreleased material. These new songs sounded more intense than anything they’ve put out so far and treated this very well-behaved and appreciative crowd to a teaser for the next album, which is due in 2014.
Both Rodrigo and Gabriela got their solo time on stage too, during which they showcased their individual talents. Gabriela was somewhat avant garde in her approach, particularly with her use of a wah pedal with an acoustic guitar. Rodrigo was more about the crowd interaction as he stepped outside the stage and walked along the wall that separated the front of the audience section from the rest of the crowd, even as he continued playing the guitar. For a couple of songs they were joined by piano player Alex Wilson, who provided a slightly different, symphonic touch to their set, albeit briefly.
In addition to earning the admiration of this enormous audience, they induced some laughter when they addressed the crowd in their slightly broken English. For the duo to maintain the attention of a usually hard-to-please Hollywood crowd throughout this performance was no mean feat. The crowd was in complete silence during the softer, quieter parts of the music and followed the duo’s cue when they were asked to clap along or stand up.
The performance was enhanced by the use of multi-angled visuals that were projected on to the walls of the giant Hollywood Bowl stage as well as on the screens either side of it. All in all, this was a mesmerizing musical exhibition by Rodrigo y Gabriela, and this reviewer enjoyed this version of their live show much more than the orchestrated version from two years ago, simply because it was just them this time.
There really is no accurate genre or term to justifiably define the extent of this duo’s range of musicianship, with touches of Latin rock, jazz, metal, folk and so much more. Even for fans of "heavier" music, Rodrigo y Gabriela’s live music comes across in a manner that makes it as heavy, intense and extreme as anything else out there. If this isn’t true talent, what is?

- The Federal Reserve should wait on any further rate increases until it is clear inflation is reliably heading to the Fed's 2 percent target, according to St. Louis Fed President James Bullard.
- Bullard, who regards the economy as stuck in a low-growth rut, said he sees little reason to rush the process.
The Federal Reserve should wait on any further rate increases until it is clear inflation is reliably heading to the Fed's 2 percent target, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said on Friday, highlighting the central bank's struggle over how to weigh a recent slip in the rate of price increases.
"Recent inflation data have surprised to the downside and call into question the idea that U.S. inflation is reliably returning toward target," Bullard said at an Illinois Bankers Association conference. "The Fed can wait and see how the economy develops before making any further adjustments to the policy rate."
The Fed raised rates at its meeting last week with only one dissenting vote. But the policy statement flagged concern over a recent fall in the Fed's preferred measure of inflation to 1.5 percent, and Fed officials since then have appeared split between those worried the trend may persist and those who feel the Fed needs to tighten still-loose monetary policy as a precaution.
The central bank is also debating how to synchronize its next rate increase with its plan to begin reducing its $4 trillion in asset holdings, a step that at the margins could raise market interest rates.
Bullard, who regards the economy as stuck in a low-growth rut, said he sees little reason to rush the process. Even though a low unemployment rate of 4.3 percent would, in theory, lead to higher inflation and provide a reason for raising rates now, Bullard said there is little evidence that is going to happen anytime soon.
Is U.S. inflation "about to increase substantially? The short answer is no, based on current estimates of the relationship between unemployment and inflation," Bullard said.
Bullard does not currently vote on the Fed's policy-setting committee. He has argued that the Fed should not raise rates any more until it is clear the economy has shifted to a higher growth, higher inflation "regime."

Our Yorkshire Farm’s Amanda Owen returned to social media to share photos of her daughter on Twitter, following a short hiatus since revealing her split from husband Clive on Instagram last week.
The mother-of-nine, 47, made her first TV appearance alongside her husband, 66, in 2011 on ITV’s The Dales, before they landed their own Channel 5 show Our Yorkshire Farm in 2018.
Since then, she has published five bestselling books, appeared on a host of podcasts and farming shows, and become a regular guest star on morning TV, where she discusses everything from life on the farm, to parenting and marriage.
However, last week, following months of rumours regarding the state of their marriage, Amanda and Clive issued a joint statement on social media saying they had made ‘the difficult decision to separate’.
Since then, Amanda, who is thought to have amassed a fortune of more than £1 million, has been uncharacteristically quiet, in stark contrast to her usual prolific posting schedule, however on Father’s Day, she took to Twitter to share a post, although there was no mention of Clive.
Amanda Owen (pictured) has taken to social media to share a post, following an uncharacteristically quiet week after revealing her split from husband Clive
Amanda’s post, which followed a quiet week online for the reality star, featured images of two of her children, alongside a reference to Kate Bush song Running up that hill
The post followed an uncharacteristically quiet week online for the star, who is usually a prolific poster
The post, which included four photos of two of her daughters, was accompanied by a caption that referenced Kate Bush’s 80s hit Running up that hill, which recently climbed back up the charts to number one.
It said: ‘Running up that hill *& down it too’
Numerous fans commented on the post, noting the star has been absent from social media, with one writing: ‘This is what I’ve missed. Wholesome.’
Another added: ‘Been missing your posts sending love xx.’
And a third wrote: ‘The hills are alive with the sound of little Owens. Have missed your posts hope you are okay.’
The Tweet featured a quote from the number one Kate Bush song Running up that hill, as well as images of two of her nine children
Numerous fans of the reality star took to the post to comment on Amanda’s return to social media, saying they’d missed her posts
Following the split, TV insiders have said Amanda plans to ‘go solo’ having booked in meetings with TV execs and even taken on a PR agency, explaining: ‘This is now her golden opportunity to shine and start earning millions as a solo commodity, through both brand endorsements and a new show.’
Saying there is ‘absolutely no reason’ why she couldn’t carry a series alone, they added: ‘Amanda has everything going for her, likeability, knowledge, beauty, PR nous and, crucially, she’s a natural on camera.’
Our Yorkshire Farm’s Amanda Owen split from her husband of 21 years after ‘growing close to a cameraman’, insiders have claimed (pictured together)
And Amanda, who is thought to have amassed £1million from her media personality, issued a joint statement with Clive on social media earlier this week which said the couple have made ‘the difficult decision to separate’ (pictured earlier this week)
The mother-of-nine, 47, made her first TV appearance alongside her husband, 66, in 2011 on ITV ‘s The Dales, before they landed their own Channel 5 show Our Yorkshire Farm in 2018 (pictured in 2019)
The couple shared a joint statement on social media confirming they had split yesterday
Amanda grew up in a traditional three-bed house with her parents and one sibling in the large market town of Huddersfield.
At 6ft 2in, the blonde was encouraged to follow the same career path as her model mother, but she claimed she hated the clothes and make-up that she had to wear.
She left her comfortable town life to work on farms around the country. She met her husband in 1996 when he was already divorced with two children, after she arrived at his farm as a 21-year-old trainee shepherdess.
Just before Amanda met her husband, his life had been turbulent following the split from his wife of 13 years Greta Watson, with whom he has two grown up children.
Appearing on The Dales in 2011 alongside five of their children, Clive described how the farm was ‘tough’, before explaining how the couple met for the first time.
He said: ‘A friend of mine wanted to borrow a ram, and I said yes he could borrow one. Amanda came to pick it up. And I thought, “Wow.”

After appearing on the ITV show, the mother-of-nine began giving more media interviews about life as a mother on the farm (pictured left and right in 2014)
‘I eventually persuaded her to give me her telephone number and off we went from there.’
He recalled: ‘I do remember this six-foot-something woman knocked on the door. I was very taken with her. You couldn’t not be.’
She added: ‘It was a slow burn thing we kind of got to know each other. Made friends first then went out a little bit together.’
Meanwhile Amanda said he was ‘perfect husband material’, saying: ‘My kind of fella, like the same sense of humour and type of things. It was just fate.’
It didn’t take long for the couple get hitched, with five children quickly following.
Many of her children help out on the farm when they are not at school – or travelling to and from as the journey takes one-and-a-half hours each way.
‘In order to make a big family work they all need to tow the line. It’s not about child labour – it’s about pulling together,’ Amanda told the Daily Mail in an article in 2018.
With the nearest shop so far away – and the risk during winter that they could be snowed in for weeks – the TV star buys food in bulk, and manages to feed her large family for just £130 a week.
The couple first appeared on TV as regulars on Adrian Edmondson’s 2011 ITV documentary series The Dales alongside the Reverend Ann Chapman, the vicar of four small churches, and a number of other people living in the Yorkshire Dales.
At that point, the Owen family consisted of Amanda, Clive and their five young children.
However the public were quick to fall for the couple and their unusual love story, dubbing them the ‘Kardashians of the Countryside’.
They began making further media appearances and offering interviews to media about their family, with Amanda regularly opening up about life as a mother-of-nine.
In November 2015, the family appeared in an episode of New Lives In The Wild UK with Ben Fogle, a Channel 5 programme which is made by Warner Brothers’ Renegade Pictures.
By this stage, Amanda was picking up her own media appearances, as well as releasing her first book The Yorkshire Shepherdess.
It reached the bestseller top 10 in 2014 and, when the film rights were sold, there was lots of excited chat in Swaledale about possible casting choices.
However at the time, she said: ‘Some people talked about Hollywood. ‘But I’m happy just getting on with my life. Ravenseat is where I want to be. It’s where I belong.’
In 2017, she released a further tome A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess, appearing on BBC Radio 4’s The Museum of Curiosity.
The popularity of the family led to their own observational documentary series following life on the Owens’ farm on Channel 5 called Our Yorkshire Farm, which started in 2018.
It quickly became a hit, and was one of the channel’s most popular programmes with over three million viewers watching each episode.
By 2019, Amanda was releasing a third book Adventures of the Yorkshire Shepherdess and was the subject of Radio 4’s On Your Farm.
Meanwhile she also appeared on the podcast Trees A Crowd with David Oakes.
Meanwhile Our Yorkshire Farm became an unlikely lockdown hit, proving to be the most-watched programme in a 9pm slot for two weeks in a row in August.
At the time, viewers said the show was the best TV series they had seen in years, with many saying they couldn’t wait for the next series.
The shepherdess began making solo appearances on a variety of TV shows, becoming a regular guest on programmes like Lorraine and This Morning to offer comment on parenting and life on the farm.
In 16 February 2021, Channel 5 broadcast the first episode of series 14 of Ben Fogle: Return to the Wild, which saw Fogle back at Ravenseat Farm after six years, where he met their youngest child Nancy (who was born since his last visit) for the first time.
Meanwhile Owen was featured as one of the four walkers travelling with the BBC’s 360 degree camera, in series two of BBC Four’s Winter Walks, with Owen’s episode featuring a walk through Wensleydale and Raydale.
She also filmed a couple of reports for Live: Winter on the Farm, broadcast on Channel 5 between 6–9 December 2021 and appeared as the featured guest on Radio 4’s The Poet Laureate Has Gone To His Shed with Simon Armitage.
Meanwhile she released two further books Tales From the Farm and Celebrating The Seasons, both of which she spent time heavily promoting.
She began facing criticism from social media critics who urged her to ‘stay true to herself’.
Taking to Twitter, Amanda shared several snaps of herself working on the farm and at a book signing and wrote: ‘Time for a catch up, it has been a super busy time. Been wearing more than a few different hats metaphorically speaking.’
In response, the critic penned: ‘Stay true to yourself people fell in love with your life as you all are, not as a showbiz star.’
The public were quick to fall for the couple and their unusual love story, dubbing them the ‘Kardashians of the Countryside’ (pictured)
Amanda went on to write a number of bestselling books about her experiences on the farm, which she heavily promoted with media appearances (left to right)
However, an unimpressed Amanda hit back: ‘Shearing Sheep driving tractor to make hay to feed Sheep, signing books (about Sheep), public speaking (about Sheep).
‘Serving tea to folk who watch programme & read (about Sheep).’
She also went on to defend her friend Jeremy Clarkson and continued: ‘As @JeremyClarkson has highlighted until food production, countryside management is valued we do what pays the bills.’
Meanwhile she also opened up in an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine about her experiences of being famous and said that she had found it ‘invasive’.
She said she struggled with people asking for her picture when she was out and about.
She revealed hundreds of people come each day to her farm and use the cafe there – adding Our Yorkshire Farm is so popular because the farm is real.
She said: ‘Hundreds come past each day. Sometimes it can be more tiring smiling than shovelling s***. There is a time when I’d like to shut the door and say, ‘This is my life, this is my time.’ And that’s got quite difficult.’
The popularity of the family led to their own observational documentary series following life on the Owens’ farm on Channel 5 called Our Yorkshire Farm, which started in 2018
The shepherdess began making solo appearances on a variety of TV shows, becoming a regular guest on programmes like Lorraine and This Morning to offer comment on parenting and life on the farm (pictured in a photoshoot at the farm)
She admitted Mr Owen and her capitalise on the visitors coming to their farm in order to run the cafe they have opened on site.
But she added she found it difficult that she now has people to answer to, and that people sometimes take her picture or record her while she is working on her farm.
‘Of course it’s invasive. People know where we live and they can arrive there — but that’s the unique selling point, that the farm is real,’ she said.
Mrs Owen, who wrote several books about life on the farm – the latest one, on seasonal living – said it is a ‘vicious circle,’ and she could not stop writing about it because the material is there.
She added her nine children, aged 20 to five, have not been affected by fame and have not receive any negative comment.
She said the show, books and the publicity surrounding a farm was all a way to finance her children’s future. She added she had never employed childcare, because it would have proved more stressful for her than convenient.
Meanwhile she offered another interview in which she said ‘romance’ is not in her and Clive’s ‘make-up.’
When asked if she and her husband are romantic, the shepherdess told OK! magazine: ‘I don’t think either of us are! I don’t think it’s in our make-up.’
The shepherdess went on to reveal what she believes to be the secret to her 21-year marriage.
‘Everything we do is interchangeable,’ she said. ‘Clive will serve afternoon tea and change nappies, I’ll shear sheep and shovel s**t. It doesn’t matter who does what, we’re all on the same side.’
Amanda praised Clive for being a ‘hands-on’ dad, adding that ‘at certain times of year, it’s all hands on deck and all tasks on the farm are interchangeable.
There’s no one hat for any one person and I think that’s a great life lesson.’
However by November, neighbours told MailOnline the pair had been living apart for months after she ‘got caught up in the spotlight’ of her Channel 5 programme.
Amanda moved into their rental property down the road from Ravenseat Farm in Swaledale, where Mr Owen has been staying in the farmhouse, villagers said.
The couple, known as the ‘Kardashians of the Countryside’, were said to be ‘battling to save their marriage’ after more than 21 years.
Mr Owen was understood to be ‘desperate’ to repair their relationship and ‘fears’ their marriage will end in divorce.
It was feared they had recently started living apart but their neighbours claim it was common knowledge for months.
One, who asked not to be named, told MailOnline: ‘She moved out months ago and ended up down the road in another house.
‘It’s no surprise really, when you have mixed families like that there’s bound to be a falling out. She’s got caught up in her career in the spotlight and got caught up in all the attention we think.
‘Every time I saw her on the television I thought who’s looking after all those kids and animals, I’m guessing it was Clive.
‘Some here think their life is all pretend for the camera. How can they plead poverty on the telly but go around in the clothes they do. The kids wear Joules wellies and you just don’t get that on a poor farmer’s income.
‘A lot of people who know farming know she can’t be out sorting the sheep with all the bangles and clothes she wears. It’s all for show.’
They added: ‘They’ve been apart for months. Most people around here know it’s been a few months but we don’t really know the details because we’re not interested.’
Another source close to the couple said: ‘There have been rumours around the Dale that all’s not been as good as it could be, but only Clive and Amanda know the real story.
‘Folk think well of them, most people up here have known Clive for years and years, he’s a popular and well respected man in the farming community and he has a lot of good friends.
‘If they’re having problems they won’t have to look far for support if it’s needed.’
The Yorkshire Shepherdess began sharing more glamorous snaps of herself on her Instagram page, often dolled up in makeup and with jeweled earings
Meanwhile the mother-of-nine became a regular on programmes like This Morning and Lorraine, where she would often give comment on parenting
A family friend told the Sun: ‘It’s incredibly sad. Amanda and Clive are two hugely popular figures here in the Dales, and no one saw this coming.
‘Clive loves Amanda to bits and adores her, and fears the marriage may be failing even though he desperately doesn’t want it to. He fears they will divorce.
‘He reckons the image of them playing happy families is a load of rubbish. He thinks this will be the last series they film together, and now it’s about looking after the kids and putting them first.’
The insider said Mr Owen wanted his wife to stay for Christmas but added the decision was ‘very much in Amanda’s hands’.
At the time, in a joint statement given to MailOnline, Mr and Mrs Owen said: ‘With the TV show and the books we’ve always aimed to show the reality of life on the farm, and just like any marriage we have our stresses and strains, coupled with all the complexities of what we do on the farm and bringing up nine kids.
‘We’re a normal family, and we’ve never said our marriage is perfect.’
They added they were going through a ‘rocky patch’ in their marriage.
Last year, 66-year-old Clive (L) was said to be ‘desperate’ to repair their relationship and ‘fears’ their marriage will result in divorce
Meanwhile Amanda continued to give media interviews saying that she ‘didn’t regret’ inviting the public into her life through Our Yorkshire Farm – despite reports her fame left her marriage on the rocks.
Speaking to the Yorkshire Post, Amanda said she doesn’t regret taking part in the show, saying: ‘We are just a normal family dealing with everything life throws at us and the programme is life as it’s happening, whether there’s someone filming it or not and that’s what keeps everybody grounded.’
She continued: ‘It is hard work being a farmer and I will do everything it takes to provide for my family and that means having a lot of fingers in a lot of pies in order to make a living – you are damned if you do and you are damned if you don’t.’
Earlier this week, the couple released a shocking statement confirming they had split.
The statement read: ‘This hasn’t been easy, but we both believe it’s the right choice for the future of our family.
‘Although we are no longer a couple, we continue to work on the farm and co-parent together with our number one priority the happiness and well-being of our children.’
The couple added that they would like to thank everyone for their support and asked for privacy as they ‘work through this difficult time’.

The news left fans of the wholesome show dismayed but it was no surprise to friends of the Owens.
A source close to Clive and Amanda said: ‘It’s really sad for both of them that it’s come to this, especially with such a large family and some of them so young.
‘It’s been an open secret across the dale for a long time that they have been having problems and have been living apart.
‘Amanda has been living in their holiday let, a cottage just under a mile away from Ravenseat and Clive has been staying at the farm where he’s always been.’
But the couple’s relationship won’t be over just because of their split – because of their complex domestic and business circumstances, they revealed.
‘The problem they’re going to have is that this won’t be a divorce in the normal sense of the word where two people can go their separate ways,’ the source explained.
‘They have nine children, the youngest is only around four and five of them are under the age of 10, still at primary school.
‘But you have to add in to that the fact they are running a big hill farm with a flock of sheep scattered all over the dale.
‘It’s hard work and what they do on TV isn’t just for show, they’re both working day in, day out to make their business work.
‘That means Amanda is at Ravenseat every day, so the question people are asking is ‘how will they both move on with their lives from here?’
‘It’s hard to imagine how either of them could begin a new relationship with the ex husband or wife being part of their every day lives. It’s a very difficult situation.
‘Clive is a very well liked and respected man in this part of the world, he’s lived here all his life and Amanda has become part of Dales life as well.
‘Their friends and neighbours are sad for the whole family.’
Amanda didn’t even tell her own mother that she was having marital issues, which left Joyce Livingstone in the dark.
She said she was ‘gobsmacked’ when she first heard the couple were going through a rough patch, having been married for 22 years.
Speaking exclusively to the Mail this week, a source close to the family said that the decision to separate actually came around a year-and-a-half ago.
‘Obviously this has just come out but it has been going on for years behind closed doors,’ said the source.
‘They separated 18 months ago. It wouldn’t have been Clive’s choice but I think he’s at a point where he’s accepted the break-up now. They are sharing the care of the kids so still see each other regularly. He does most of the work on the farm and, I think, now he’s come to terms with the separation he just wants to get on with his life.’
Next month, she will embark on her first major solo project without her husband, joining Gary Lineker as a guest chef at a pop-up restaurant at this year’s Latitude Festival in Suffolk where, she says, Ravenseat lamb will feature heavily in her summer menu.

For years, college counselors have seen increasing numbers of students arrive to campus with serious mental health problems and prior treatment histories. The reasons are still partly a mystery, but the fact persists. The real question is what to do about it, but many counseling center directors have found themselves limited in their options by tight budgetary constraints.
Colleges across the country are responding to the higher demand with either longer waits or shorter appointments, and some counseling centers have adopted a phone-based "triage" approach to quickly screen severe cases. Some smaller institutions, meanwhile, have continued to refer patients to other providers. In many cases, the institutions are aware of the problem and are monitoring the response in order to weigh longer-term solutions such as hiring additional counselors or increasing hours. But the reality many counseling centers face is a limited budget and fewer, not more, available resources.
"I do know people have definitely seen an increase in demand and more serious problems over time at counseling centers here and across the country," said Sherry Benton, director of the University of Florida Counseling Center.
But her center is one of the lucky ones. While the volume of patients has increased, the university has been able to add additional counselors with the help of a student health fee. "A lot of centers are dealing with [the increased volume] in different ways. Having a waiting list is not very satisfactory as a way to deal with it, though," she said.
In last year's annual survey of counseling center directors sponsored by the American College Counseling Association, fully 91.5 percent reported observing the "recent trend toward greater number of students with severe psychological problems" on their campuses, while 87.5 percent said they noticed a growing number of students arriving on campus already on medication. They reported that 23.3 percent of "clients" at counseling centers are on psychiatric medication, up from 20 percent in 2003 and 17 percent in 2000. In 1994, the number was even lower, at 9 percent.
At the same time, among the greatest concerns to counseling center directors was meeting the growing demand for services without any additional resources. That priority was eclipsed only by how to deal with students who have long-term or severe problems, illustrating an observed increase in such cases over the past several years as well.
"First and foremost, I think students coming to college are bringing issues with them from the home environment, from the high school environment, that we’re just seeing an increase in the level of students that need some type of counseling services," said Gregg Heinselman, associate vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. But colleges have also gotten better at identifying students who need help and referring them for counseling. "Part of that we’ve created for ourselves, for obvious reasons, and part of that is just the dynamics of the American college student," he said.
The upshot at River Falls, a predominantly residential university with three full-time counselors for 6,400 students (2,500 of whom live on campus), is that “the numbers are working against us right now," a pattern Heinselman said is playing out across the University of Wisconsin system. "The waits have increased; on our campus, depending upon the severity of the situation, it may be three weeks before a student can get in to see a counselor. Are we excited about that, absolutely not, but it’s just the level of workload we’re dealing with."
The problems are compounded by the campus's location, where mental health resources are limited in the surrounding community. For students without health insurance, moreover, there is often nowhere else to turn. The university recognizes the problem, but funding hasn't been forthcoming so far; the center has proposed a student fee (along the lines of the University of Florida model) to raise additional revenue. It will hire a fourth counselor next year, Heinselman said, but it needs at least five or six to cover its current case load.
At the moment, the campus's counseling center is trying to cope by limiting the number of visits for each student, referring students with insurance to outside providers and contracting some functions to a local clinic. But the increasing severity of mental health problems continues to place more stress on the system, especially, Heinselman noted, in the number of emergency detentions for students considered a threat to themselves or others.
“I do think we’re seeing some national trends; we’re concerned, it’s going to continue to challenge higher education across the country.”
A 2003 study co-written by Benton, based on a sample of 13,257 students followed over a 13-year period, revealed a marked increase in the number, complexity and severity of college students' mental health problems. In most areas, counselors reported a major increase in the number of students with difficulties. The number of students with depression who received counseling doubled over that period, while the number of those with suicidal tendencies tripled. If counselors' perceptions today are any indication, these trends are only worsening.
"We’re seeing an alarming number of increases in detentions, and that takes followup work when a student returns to campus," Heinselman said, adding that "we want to make sure that we’re closing that loop … that they can come back to campus and be successful as a student."
He cited some of the usual culprits -- stress, the pressure of academics -- but singled out the phenomenon of "spiraling," in which students who were on medication in high school try to get on with their lives without it once they reach the new college environment.
All of those factors are being overshadowed this year -- at least on a visceral level -- by the Virginia Tech killing spree almost a year ago. Some institutions have seen a recent spike in demand on top of the past several years' mental health trends, and while there's no way to know for sure, it has been attributed to related anxiety among both students and parents. The ACCA -sponsored survey found that over 10 percent of respondents reported a "significant increase in students seeking counseling" in the weeks after the attacks, while almost 23 percent said they received more calls from concerned parents.
"I don’t know what it means, but we certainly felt it," said John Miner, the co-director of psychological and counseling services at Williams College.
The counseling center at Williams is holding off for a year to see if the pattern continues before hiring additional staff to take on the extra case load, so for the moment, the college is resorting to reducing the length of appointments. Instead of 50-minute blocks every hour, counselors now see students for 40 out of every 45 minutes. With nine part-time counselors, Miner said, that amounts to an additional 40 slots every week.
"I think it’s a little bit unique," he said of the approach, "but it depends on the size of the university and whether you have good community resources."
Miner added: "I think institutions will have to beef up their resources and I think they will also have to get better at providing brief, supportive treatment to those students that only need that and then provide more intensive psychotherapy for ... people that need more care."

Cryopreservation of seeds from the endangered insectivorous plant Drosophyllum lusitanicum
The aim of the present work was to explore the feasibility of seed cryopreservation as a tool for Drosophyllum lusitanicum genetic resources preservation. Mature seeds, collected from a wild Portuguese population, were used in different cryopreservation treatments and their germination rates assessed in vitro. No germination was observed when seeds were directly plunged into liquid nitrogen (LN) without any drying pre-treatment. When seeds were dried, immersed in LN during 30 min and rapidly warmed, germination rate increased to 94%. Cryopreserved seeds were stored for 4 months at −18°C without losing germination capacity. The feasibility of cryopreserving mature seeds of D. lusitanicum was verified in this work demonstrating that cryopreservation, alone or combined with conventional storage at −18°C, can be used as a complementary strategy for the longterm storage of germplasm of this endangered species.

Walt Jocketty thought he had a deal with Grady Sizemore
Yesterday I wondered why the Reds-Grady Sizemore deal that had been reported to be in the works so long fell through. I wondered if it was Sizemore’s health (nope, given that Boston jumped on him) or if it was because one team was offering a major league deal while the Reds offered something less. Nope, it wasn’t that either. Sizemore just changed his mind
As C. Trent Rosecrans reports, Reds GM Walt Jocketty thought the team had agreed to a deal with Sizemore. Jocketty tells him “we thought we were going to get it done and he changed his mind at the last minute.” He added, however, that “that’s his prerogative.” A deal ain’t done until the ink is on the paper.
I guess this shows that, whatever injuries and rust Sizemore has, cheap outfield depth with some upside is kinda valuable these days.

Today, the first of a couple of posts on the so-called global warming litigation. We have posted on the climate change litigation before, and here, and we note first that a federal trial court recently dismissed a global climate change suit filed by Inupiat Eskimos from Kivalina, Alaska against dozens of oil and energy companies. Native Village of Kivalina v. ExxonMobil Corp., 2009 WL 3326113 (N.D.Cal. 9/30/09).
The suit was brought by the village of about 400 people, who alleged that as a result of global warming, the Arctic sea ice that protects the Kivalina coast from storms has been diminished, and that resulting erosion will require relocation of the residents to another village. (The town of Kivalina is located at the tip of a six-mile-long barrier reef, about 70 miles north of the Arctic Circle on Alaska’s northwest coast.) Plaintiffs sought damages under federal common law nuisance, state nuisance, and civil conspiracy theories. They alleged that defendants were a major part of the cause of excessive emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which plaintiffs claimed are causing global warming.
The defendants properly noted that many of the questions raised by the plaintiffs in this suit were inherently political; there are no traditional judicial standards available to adjudicate such political issues. They also argued that plaintiffs lacked standing under Article III because the injury to the plaintiffs was not “fairly traceable” to the conduct of the defendants.
Judge Saundra Brown Armstrong of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California agreed, finding global warming to be a political issue not appropriate for a federal court to decide. The courts have long indicated that disputes involving political questions lie outside of the Article III jurisdiction of federal courts. Corrie v. Caterpillar, Inc., 503 F.3d 974, 980 (9th Cir.2007). The political question doctrine serves to prevent the federal courts from intruding unduly on certain policy choices and value judgments that are constitutionally committed to Congress or the executive branch. Koohi v. United States, 976 F.2d 1328, 1331 (9th Cir.1992). A non-justiciable political question exists when, to resolve a dispute, the court must make a policy judgment of a legislative nature, rather than resolving the dispute through legal and factual analysis. Courts typically look at three broad factors: (i) Does the issue involve resolution of questions committed by the text of the Constitution to a coordinate branch of Government? (ii) Would resolution of the question demand that a court move beyond areas of judicial expertise? (iii) Do prudential considerations counsel against judicial intervention?
Under the second factor, which was key here, the court concluded that a factfinder would have to weigh, inter alia, the energy-producing alternatives that were available in the past and consider their respective impact on far ranging issues such as their reliability as an energy source, safety considerations and the impact of the different alternatives on consumers and business at every level. The factfinder would then have to weigh the benefits derived from those choices against the risk that increasing greenhouse gases would in turn increase the risk of causing flooding along the coast of a remote Alaskan locale. Plaintiffs ignored this aspect of their claim and otherwise failed to articulate any particular judicially discoverable and manageable standards that would guide a factfinder in rendering a decision that is principled, rational, and based upon reasoned distinctions.
Secondly, plaintiffs conceded they were unable to trace their alleged injuries to any particular defendant. While they sought to rely on, by analogy, injury concepts under the Clean Water Act, the court concluded that even if the theory were applicable outside the context of a statutory water pollution claim, it is simply inapposite where, as here, plaintiffs have not alleged that even the “seed” of their injury can be traced to any of the defendants. Plaintiffs acknowledged that the genesis of the global warming phenomenon dates back centuries and is a result of the emission of greenhouse gases by a multitude of sources other than the defendants. The complaint further alleges that the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide — “the most significant greenhouse gas emitted by human activity” — has been increasing steadily “since the dawn of the industrial revolution in the 18th century, and more than one-third of the increase has occurred since 1980.” Significantly, the source of the greenhouse gases are undifferentiated and cannot be traced to any particular source, let alone a defendant, given that they rapidly mix in the atmosphere.
The court thus dismissed the suit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, both because of the political question, and because the plaintiffs could not prove the companies caused the alleged injury.
The decision is consistent with most prior decisions coming out of the district courts, which generally have viewed these climate change cases as raising fundamentally political judgments. The decision is a more coherent analysis than the recent, ostensibly conflicting, ruling of the Second Circuit allowing plaintiffs to sue over climate change under federal common law, in Connecticut v. American Electric Power Co., No. 05-5104-cv (2d Cir. 9/21/09). (It also will be contrasted in our next post with the Fifth Circuit’s recent ruling in Comer v. Murphy Oil Co.
The Second Circuit case involved a suit by states and environmental groups against various electric power companies; these plaintiffs made allegations similar to those in the Alaska case, and that defendants were thus harming the environment, the states’ economies, and public health. The appeals court overturned a well-reasoned trial court ruling that the case represented a non-justiciable political question.
Unlike the Second Circuit, the California district court recognized major distinctions between ordinary pollution cases and planet-wide climate change allegations; the court was wisely unwilling to confront — and could not ignore the existence of — the myriad legal and policy issues relating to imposing liability on a planetary scale. Judge Armstrong disagreed with the appeals court conclusion that traditional water pollution and air pollution nuisance cases provide appropriate guidance in assessing global warming “nuisance” cases. While a water pollution claim typically involves a discrete, geographically definable waterway, plaintiffs’ global warming claim is based on the emission of greenhouse gases over decades from innumerable sources located throughout the world and supposedly affecting the entire planet.
Fundamentally, such a nuisance claim would require the judiciary to make a policy decision about who should bear the cost of global warming, if it turns out to be a real climatic phenomenon. Though alleging that defendants are responsible for a “substantial portion” of greenhouse gas emissions, plaintiffs also acknowledge in these cases that virtually everyone on Earth is responsible at some level for contributing to such emissions (even you readers). Thus, plaintiffs are in effect asking the courts to make a political judgment that the two dozen defendants named in this action should be the only ones to bear the cost of contributing to global warming. The Second Circuit, in contrast, in American Electric, tried to draw a highly dubious distinction between a claim seeking a comprehensive solution to global climate change, a task that arguably falls within the purview of the political branches, and a claim “merely” to limit emissions that allegedly constitute a public nuisance — because the emissions (part of the highly controversial political debate about global warming) are greenhouse gasses and the source of alleged climate change caused by human activity.


U.S. equities charged higher spurred on by low-interest rates, solid consumer sentiment, low unemployment, good corporate earnings, and the signing of the U.S.- China phase 1 trade deal. With the Dow likely headed to 30,000 and home builders accelerating construction starts, it appears the spring buying season should be favorable. Consumers feel flush as retirement plans swell and wages also move higher. All of this is positive for this year’s new and existing home sales. Keep an eye on prices. With such tight supply, we hope sellers don’t price new buyers out of the market given the strong consumer sentiment we are seeing.
The U.S. economy continues to be the best house on the block and with the Fed holding steady on its accommodative monetary policies we expect this Goldilocks environment to carry on for the near term. The presidential election could create volatility, but that won’t come in to play until the back half of the year. Interest rates remain attractive as the developed world is awash in low or negative-yielding debt, which has helped keep our own interest rates capped back home. However, inflation, which has been non-existent for the last decade, is showing signs of reviving. Should inflation move past Fed targets, we could see bond yields move higher and quickly. For now, most strategists have the 10-year Treasury yield pegged between 1.900 – 2.500%.
With that in mind, we continue to advise locking-in interest rates at these levels. It is a call we have been making for quite some time, but given the abundance of positive information hitting the markets, and the fact that the market has shrugged off negative-market-moving news so quickly, our feeling is interest rates have a greater chance of moving higher than lower. One interesting point: a study was recently completed that showed that negative interest rates have done little to boost economic activity in Europe and Japan. While I am not an economist, I have always thought that lending one dollar to get back less than the principal does not make much sense.
Bond yields flattened after a very tense week filled with heightened geopolitical tensions, as well as significant economic news. Rates dropped Wednesday after it was reported that Iran fired missiles at U.S.-occupied air bases in Iraq. Thankfully, no U.S. casualties were reported. The flight to safety was short-lived as the stock market rallied the day after the attack. Both the U.S. and Iran suggested that further escalations would be halted. Oil prices took a wild ride up and then quickly came back down as oversupply halted a surge in oil prices based on disruption fears surrounding the conflict.
On the economic front, weak manufacturing data was discounted due to the Phase One U.S. China trade deal being inked on January 15th. The all-important December jobs report was a bit lighter than expected, but overall not a terrible report. Unemployment remains at 3.5% and at a multi-decade low, and the U-6, or total employed, fell to 6.7%. The U.S. economy remains on solid footing and appears to be in what is often referred to as a “goldilocks” trend as the combination of low-interest rates, low unemployment, and low but stable economic growth increases our overall prosperity.
A surging stock market and low-interest rates should bode well for the coming spring home-buying season as potential homeowners feel flush. Inventory remains tight, but home builders are optimistic. With this in mind, we continue to advocate locking-in interest rates at these attractive levels. Many economic forecasts are factoring in higher inflation in the coming year, which would propel bond yields higher. Also, the overall global economy seems to be doing better and for now, any sign of a potential recession in 2020 has faded.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and more jobs! The November jobs report crushed expectations Friday morning, with job creation growing at the fastest clip in 10 months. The jobs report reinforces the thesis that the U.S. economy is on good footing, the U.S. consumer remains bullish, and that the recession fears have abated. The report followed other positive reports earlier in the week on housing, big-ticket purchases, and trade.
On the jobs front, the employment rate dropped to 3.500% with the addition of 266,000 new jobs blowing past the estimate of 182,000 new jobs. The U-6 reading, or total unemployed, fell to 6.90% from a reading last year of 7.6%. Wage growth grew year over year above inflation.
This combination of low rates, a strong consumer, and a strong workforce has created a “Goldilocks” environment. These numbers will keep the economy chugging ahead and work as a tailwind for the housing market heading into next year. As we have opined previously, interest rates remain attractive which provides more buying power for potential borrowers. For refinances, reduced mortgage payments free up money for other purchases. Our position on interest rates at these levels is to grab ’em while they are hot!
The Goldilocks environment helping to fuel the rise in U.S. equities remains intact. Encouraged by an accommodative and responsive Fed, a healthy consumer, and tame inflation, the equities market grinds higher, even as some manufacturing data suggest the economy may worsen.
In other positive news, there was an announcement from the White House that “Phase One” of the China trade deal is close to being signed. Taking all of these signals into account, the threat of a recession has been removed in the near-term horizon. In fact, should equities continue to shine, bond yields may very well rise as we head into the holiday season. The consumer feels good and is spending.
Interest rates remain at near historic lows, supporting our thesis that mortgage rates should be locked at these levels. For anyone who has monitored the markets over the long-term, a 10-year Treasury yield under 2.000% is essentially free money in real terms, once inflation is factored in. Jumbo mortgage rates, which price off of the 10-year Treasury, continue to offer borrowers attractive rates even as the economy points to continued growth.
Stocks rose this week following good earnings news from America’s best companies, as well as some positive news on the China-U.S. trade issues. News can change on a dime on this issue so please take this into consideration when reading this post. While durable good orders were down slightly and the China trade conflict has created challenges for U.S. companies doing business in China, feedback from third-quarter earnings supports the slowing economy here in the U.S. and removes the recession narrative for now. Also, with over a 90% probability of a rate cut next week by the Fed, the yield curve has steepened. This is another good indicator that there is no near-term recession on the horizon and that the Fed has gotten out in front of the threat of recession.
New housing purchases slowed as interest rates rose from near-historic lows which put more pressure on borrowers to qualify. Rates are still very attractive and have definitely helped to spur purchase and refinance activity. With the 10-year now at ~1.80% from below 1.500% not too long ago, we continue to advise locking-in interest rates.
In closing, the U.S economy continues to be in a “Goldilocks” trend as inflation is muted, unemployment rates are low, and businesses are doing fairly well. Keep an eye out for results of the Fed committee meeting along with numerous other economic reports which will be trickling in next week.
A better than expected April jobs report is further evidence of the “Goldilocks scenario” that our economy continues to flourish in – albeit one that complexes many financial experts. With no near-term threat of inflation as well as improving data on productivity and manufacturing, the U.S. is experiencing the greatest recovery in many of our lifetimes. Today’s job report supported the current administration’s belief that the combination of lowered taxes and less restrictive regulation would stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit of American business owners. It is hard to argue against this position at the moment.
There were 263,000 jobs created in April, well above estimates of 180,000 to 200,000. The unemployment rate fell to an almost 50-year low at 3.60% (WOW!). With wage inflation coming in lower than expected, bonds reacted favorably to this report and stocks surged.
Setting aside the myriad of potential issues impacting the market, which include Brexit, the 2020 election, and China-US trade tension, the talk for the moment is the near-perfect market conditions of the U.S. is economy right now. As a rising stock market is a strong vote of confidence for U.S. consumption, we are seeing an increase in home buying activity as well as other financing activity. With rates still not too far off historical lows, it should be a good home buying season.
With the 10-year Treasury range-bound, we are biased toward locking in rates given the positive economic reporting and comments from the Fed this week about their concerns that inflation may be transitory.
The U.S. economy continues to chug along, at least that’s the consensus for the moment. With consumer and business sentiment still going strong, along with a recent surge in retail sales, low inflation and near full employment, the overall picture of the economy is good.
The Fed hitting the pause button earlier this year on raising rates and running off the balance sheet has certainly helped investor confidence as evidenced by the rise in equities. In addition, mortgage applications amongst other finance activities have improved due to the pause in short term rate increases by the Fed. Finally, the steeping of the yield curve has put to rest rumors of recession talk as several top bank economists see no signs of a recession, near-term.
For the moment, we are in a “Goldilocks Environment” with an economy that is neither running too hot nor too cold. As a result, the spring home buying season should be a good one.
Even as other parts of the world are experiencing a slow-down, it is hard to bet against the U.S. and all of the opportunity that this country has to offer its citizens. However, risks remain in Europe, and in our negotiations with China and North Korea, as well as the massive government debt burdens. These economic and geopolitical risks are capping our rates back home as the German 10-year Bund is trading in negative territory juxtaposed to US Treasuries which are trading above 2.50%.
Given the drift up in the 10-year U.S. Treasury from around 2.39% to 2.54%, we believe rates are range-bound. We can see rates continue to drift higher if the U.S. economy continues to stay strong and stocks continue to rise.


So Im totally new to this and seeking advice …simple question…when all the woodgas is produced and burned out,what is left afterwards?biochar or just plain ash?
Welcome mike, If there is no leaks, you will have mostly char.
Thanks for that …what’s ur mass to by product %? Let’s say u put in 100lbs of wood…how much biochar/ash would u get out after?
every system is different My modified WK Gasifier if I run about 2500 lbs of wood through it I might get 3 gallons of char that isn’t used. but I pull really hard on my gasifier.
Generally its 15%
I am working on a system that will produce biochar for both agriculture and power generation. This combining heat and hot water production with the char coaling process first. Biochar is then the byproduct of this stove and can be produced more in mass as its not as critical in direct wood heating. This stove basically produces fuel for your gasifier unit with little efforts required by the user. Access can then be used for agriculture or you can produce specific for that purpose.
All of mine have produced way less than that. Thanks for the Info.
On my Ranger short trips I will get about 20% char to raw wood, but I drove it to Ind. 400 miles used approx. 250lbs of wood, produced maybe a gal.
Welcome Mike; What Al said is true in the real world. The theoretical world is you start with wood and end with “ash”. If you put in 100 lb of wood— when strickly making charcoal out of wood, you end up with about 1/3 the VOLUME of what went in. I am not sure about the weight but it will be considerably less than a1/3 rd. the 100 lb. After the making of the charcoal in a gasifier, then the process removes a lot of the carbon (the “C”) out of the charcoal. Thus you end up with much less char than the volume of 1/3 of the 100 lb of wood. Something between the 1/3 and a couple of ounces of ash.
If you are looking for char for your gardern, you are better off using one of the retorts or system that are talked about here. TomC
I am with Al . The gasifier will produce different amounts of char depending how it is used .
On a 700 mile not stop trip using between 500-600 pounds of wood I will expect to get about 10 pounds of char and ash from the gasifier .
Driving around the farm I will get more char and ash per pound of wood .
I was thinking of doing that too…but that would create much more tar…how would u deal with that…because u are basically a charcoal plant that just uses the energy…I watched people build a “Adam retort system” and that would work great but how does the whole tar deal work…it seems like u know ur stuff by looking at all the stuff on the forum
Hey wayne this is a great platform…I am ordering ur book tomorrow…I was wondering. …I see u use pretty big wood chunks…does it clog up at all or does it burn through it?
The tar is burnt off in the stove as it would in any other stove. If the stove is built beyond fire inside a box, you can condition the gases and crack the tar in process.
The charcoal will not have any tar, this fuel is refined and will run clean in a gasifier and will never ever foul an engine unlike direct wood gas.
I’d love to be updated on this…it sounds like a great idea…please keep us posted
Hello Michael .
If you are asking about a bridging in the fuel hopper it hardly ever happens .
Now I am wondering is there a reason mine don’t make as much char. Is it a good/ bad thing? Am I doing something wrong?
Maybe it has something to due with the position of your right foot. Sorry couldn’t resist
How did you get to Larry’s place fly???
I am convinced it has a lot to do with that I do have a lead food and I like to down shift even with these automatics.
I flew out. He usually comes down to our place before argos and rides with us up there but that didn’t work out this year so i came up here to work with him.

by Kelly D. Mezurek
The 27th United States Colored Troops (USCT), composed largely of free black Ohio men, served in the Union army from April 1864 to September 1865 in Virginia and North Carolina. It was the first time most members of the unit had traveled so far from home. The men faced daily battles against racism and against inferior treatment, training, and supplies. They suffered from the physical difficulties of military life, the horrors of warfare, and homesickness and worried about loved ones left at home without financial support. Yet their contributions provided a tool that allowed blacks with little military experience, and their families, to demand social acceptance and acknowledgment of their citizenship.
Their service did not end when their enlistment was over. After the men of the 27th returned to Ohio, they and their families sought full access to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and compensatory citizenship rights for their collective sacrifice. Despite their constant battle against racism, this public behavior benefited the men and their families. It also meant that the African American role in the Union victory remained part of local community remembrance and commemoration. As a result, the experiences of these men from the 27th USCT gave the late-nineteenth-century Ohio black community legitimate hopes for access to equal civil and social rights for all.
For Their Own Cause is the first comprehensive history of the 27th USCT. By including rich details culled from private letters and pension files, Mezurek provides more than a typical regimental study; she demonstrates that the lives of the men of the 27th USCT help to explain why in the wars that followed, despite the disappointments and increasingly difficult struggle for African American equality that continued for far too many decades after the promise of the three Civil War–era constitutional amendments, blacks in the United States continued to offer their martial support in the front lines and the back.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment For A Healthier Social Life
Total Articles: 11
Having a drink at the end of a tiresome day may feel rejuvenating. However, consistent addiction to alcohol would definitely blotch up your social image. Addiction to alcohol is a major issue with most common households and needs to be curbed on an emergency basis. Alcohol addiction treatment has gained sufficient momentum with increasing number of individuals opting to get rid of alcohol. Rather than enjoying a few hours of ecstasy everyday and killing your internal organs, you could free yourself from the clutches of this detrimental habit. Getting rid of your drinking habit may seem to be an uphill task. However, with credible options for curing alcohol addiction you can make a difference and lead a healthy and alcohol-free life.
Alcohol detox is the commonest procedure implemented for healing alcohol addiction. This procedure involves a schedule of three to nine days. This period is also dependent on certain facets of the person undergoing detoxification such as:
1. Time for which the person has been an alcoholic
2. Tolerance level for alcohol
3. Type of beverage consumed and
4. Physical capability of the person
The detox process is generally preferable at a treatment centre. At these places, skilled and experienced medical personnel are available round the clock for the detoxification procedure. They facilitate timely medication, frequent assessment of vital signs and ensure proper fluid and food consumption by the patient.
As soon as the alcoholic is admitted in an alcohol detox centre, withdrawal symptoms emerge within a time limit of 4 hours to two days. The consistent tremors, convulsions, nausea, extreme anxiety and vomiting can be some of the horrid circumstances you may face as a result of alcohol withdrawal. These health troubles need to be inhibited urgently and thus starts the process of detoxification. The doctors administer detoxifying drugs such as Klonepin which minimize the withdrawal symptoms to a comfortable extent. These drugs cannot overcome the physical symptoms of alcohol withdrawal completely. In detox, every individual has to experience the excruciating pain throughout the schedule.
Alcohol addiction treatment isn’t child’s play. The person opting for it has to prepare on all levels i.e. both physically as well as psychologically to tolerate the horrendous circumstances of the treatment procedure. Doing away with alcohol isn’t as easy as gulping down a pint of beer in a bar. At some point of the treatment, people think of discontinuing it due to the inevitable pain associated with it.
The major causes for the above statement are the convulsions, seizures, shakes and complaints of hyperactivity associated with alcohol detoxification. Even some of the effective anticonvulsant drugs such as Valproate and Buprenophex can lessen the effect of the symptoms to a certain extent only. These medicines can cure seizures and provide relief from shakes but can offer no relief from sleeplessness.
Alcohol addiction treatment and detoxification can change your life on all platforms. Freedom from an alluring sort of addiction such as alcohol is unachievable on paper. However, strong dedication and a combo of determination and will power would obviously benefit alcoholics to lead a new life.

Last year, when we were interviewing Lee Holdrige at his home for our Beauty and the Beast documentary, we asked Lee if he would play the theme for us on camera. While we're on hold to replace some of the film gear that was stolen from us (while filming another documentary), just wanted to do something with some of our existing footage until such time we can get Swords & Circuitry Studios operational again.
Obviously if we'd been shooting a real music video, we would have had a little more footage to work with, but that said, pretty happy with this edit. The real challenge was taking a less than optimal 3 mic arrangement and transforming it into a 5.1 surround track (which unfortunately gets lost on Vimeo, because when they re-encode it for presentation here, it's mixed down to a basic stereo mix. If you'd like the full 5.1 surround sound mix, message me and I'll send it to you.) All for all, not bad for a spur-of-the-moment project.
For the time being, until we're able to complete our website overhaul, only a small handful of people will be able to see this video, but you're among our closest supporters, and once again, it's our small way of paying all of you back for your continued love and support.

ITEM: VCs are throwing lots of money at Web3 startups, but Web3’s crypto aspect makes this era’s ‘internet gold rush’ potentially more dangerous than the dotcom boom of the 90s – so much so that when the bubble bursts, it might take the global economy down with it.
That’s according to this article from Maxwell Strachan of Vice who interviewed a number of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, some of whom are very keen on Web3, others not so much.
Web3 has become so hyped that VCs are backing almost anyone who has a Web3 component like crypto, blockchain, DeFi, NFTs etc, That includes startups who were doing Web3 on Day 1 and companies that pivoted to Web3 in order to hitch themselves onto that gravy train – even if the pivot involves simply bolting on some Web3 element.
The selling point driving the hype is that Web3 is a game-changer that will transform the internet into the fairer community-based system it was intended to be all along (as opposed to an oligopoly controlled by a handful of Big Tech behemoths). Whether that’s true or not is almost beside the point – the truth is that VCs are not investing in Web3 to bring that vision to fruition. They are investing in Web3 to make money.
Which is of course the way VCs (and investors in general) have always worked. The difference, Strachan writes, is that the crypto component of Web3 – particularly tokens – enables investors to make a ton of money even if the start-up fails. Why wait years to see a return on your investment and risk a flop when you can cash out before you even get to the IPO?
This reportedly happened in the case of Terraform Labs, whose stablecoin Luna collapsed last month. According to media reports, one of its earliest major investors, Pantera Capital, quietly cashed out most of its investment ahead of the collapse, turning its $1.7 million investment into a $170 million windfall.
This highlights a serious problem with Web3: investors have an incentive to hype the project, fatten the evaluation and cash out their tokens – a process that would possibly be illegal under existing securities laws prohibiting pump-and-dump schemes if they applied to tokens.
Vice sums up the problem thusly:
Here we have a largely unregulated marketplace ripe for exploitation and stuffed full of unclear valuation metrics, arguable unregistered securities, peculiar financial products, ways to cash out, and a public-facing ideological mission statement.
It’s at least possible that Web3 could bring about a better, more fulfilling version of the internet. It’s just as likely, though, to prove to be what its harshest critics fear: a “hyper-capitalistic” reframing of the web that “contains the seeds of a dystopian nightmare.”
To be clear, this is not to say that all Web3 investors are just interested in an exploitative cash grab – many see all of this investment activity as ultimately beneficial to Web3 in the long run and do want to see their clients succeed. The point is that the temptation is there, and invites technically unethical (if not illegal) behavior with little to no legal liability.
The other big worry is that when the Web3 bubble bursts – as bubbles inevitably do – the result won’t just be a lot of startups crashing back to Earth in a ball of fire and VCs suffering a loss in their investments, but a major market collapse similar to the Great Recession in 2008:
Hilary J. Allen, the law professor who studies financial regulation, has spent much of her time recently studying the similarities between financial products that make up Web3 and the collection of instruments that led to the Great Recession. In tokens, Allen sees an innovation that is at its core comparable to the credit default swap. The two are different—credit default swaps allow numerous people to make a bet on a bond’s future performance—but at the end of the day, both help greatly increase potential leverage in the financial system, she said.
The obvious concern is that history will repeat itself unless regulators step in, although it’s worth adding that the subprime mortgage crisis was the result of a lot of complex internal and external factors that took several years to unfold. On the other hand, some people knew even then that the credit default swaps scheme was a disaster waiting to happen.
Maybe it’s worth listening to the Web3 skeptics now?

You've Got Mail. I can quote it. I am def. Kathleen Kelly. I would so love to have my old little bookshop.
I am also in love with this quote:
Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life - well, valuable, but small - and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void.
So this is my new quote I am living by right now. I want to be brave. I want to do things I never would have ever done if I was not brave. For the next few days I will be blogging what I think I will be doing to be more brave. Let's see how this goes. :)

In this study we have examined the ontogeny of these proteins within the fetus itself and have focused on the liver which represents a major site of haemopoiesis during development. Thus, in this preparation, smooth muscle tone tends to be minimal and arterial compliance near maximal (ie, mostly a passive phenomenon). Ubiquitinated proteins are components of intraneuronal inclusions found in several degenerative diseases. The Toll pathway is important for an antiviral response in Drosophila. At 3 and 6 months, there was a substantial decrease in the AUA symptom score and an improvement in urinary flow rate. In the process of attempting to do so, new bias may be introduced or a study may be rendered less generalizable.
