Three of Italy's finest wines come from the central region of Tuscany. One of them-Chianti-just about everyone has heard of, if not tried. The other two-Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano-are not so well-known, partly because there is so little made (together they account for less than 8 percent the production of Chianti).
But to many experts, these two wines are better than Chianti, and although both need long aging and are priced beyond the reach of the average winelover, both have what could be termed "light" versions: red wines for everyone at reasonable prices for current consumption.
Montalcino and Montepulciano are small towns that, as their names imply, lie in the hills of southern Tuscany not far from Siena. At 1,800 feet above sea level, both claim the view-and, in the days before laser-guided missiles, the defensive high ground-of their respective areas.
Both are ancient villages whose wine traditions date to the Etruscans. Both towns make red wine based on the sangiovese grape, which also makes Chianti.
In the case of Montalcino, a strain of sangiovese that became known as Brunello was supposedly developed by the ancestors of the owners of the Biondi-Santi family estate, Il Greppo. Smaller and more concentrated than the regular sangiovese, Brunello makes wines of great depth. With sufficient time in the bottle, Brunello can be absolutely first-rate dry red wine on a par with the best Bordeaux.
Brunello must also be aged four years before it can be sold (five for a "Riserva"), three and a half of which are in wood, traditionally large oak vats holding 500 to 2,000 gallons or more. Some wineries are using 60-gallon French barriques.
This long aging helps tame the highly tannic wine before bottling; still, the consumer must then age his Brunello di Montalcino a further five to 20 years before he can truly enjoy it.
In the case of Montepulciano, the wait before consumption is likely to be shorter because the sangiovese is blended with the softer canaiolo grape. Still, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano must be aged at least two years in wood (three for "Riserva") before release, and many producers wait longer.
In short, both of these thoroughbred Italian wines are not to be trifled with when young. What then is the adventuresome winelover to do if she wants to try wines from two of Italy's finest regions?
Economics and technology provide one answer: the Rossos from these areas.
Although Montalcino and Montepulciano are fairly vital zones today, as recently as 15 years ago they were backwaters. The case was especially bad in Montepulciano. Old cooperage, lackadaisical and outdated winemaking techniques and plain old "living on its reputation" had nearly done in Vino Nobile.
And then came Banfi. Owned by John and Harry Mariani, Banfi is the company that brought Riunite Lambrusco to the American palate. Flush with the money from many millions of cases of what Italians called "Lambrusco-cola" (the versions exported to the U.S.), the brothers Mariani, along with wine-technocrat Ezio Rivella, swooped into Tuscany and started changing the scene with modern thinking and bulldozers.
By 1984 the were ready to show the world the results of their work at Castello Banfi, their estate in the southern zone of Montalcino. So much new energy and money revitalized not only Montalcino but also Montepulciano and even Tuscany as a whole, if we include the efforts of Piero Antinori (of Marchesi L&P Antinori) and others.
That same year saw the establishment of a new official district: Rosso di Montalcino. As with Brunello, regulations required that Rosso be made entirely from the Brunello strain of sangiovese; however, the Rosso could be released for sale after only one year of aging. Further, it could be enjoyed without waiting many years for it to mature; in fact, many Rossos are so light that within a year or two of release they lose whatever fruit they started out with.
Same area, same grapes: Why the big difference?
There are three main reasons: more land, better technology and the possibility of better selection.
The revitalization attracted others eager to exploit the region. From 1982 to 1992, the land devoted to sangiovese for Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino increased by more than 50 percent to 2,400 acres. Better clones and more effective cultivation increased per-acre yields by 10 percent in that same period (the average in 1992 was still only 3 tons per acre, less than that for Bordeaux).

A Renewed Understanding
My apologizes for not blogging for so long. My work has taken up quite a bit of my time lately and Lisa and I just made the rigid, bumpy, and downright annoying 8 hour bus ride from Pokhara back to Kathmandu. We know a travel agent friend here that would have been able to hook us up with a $60 35-minuite flight back, easily avoiding all the hassle and time ….but what fun would that be! Haha. Anyhow, Lisa and I are in the same hotel we stayed at for our first 3 weeks here in Nepal, shooting the shit about random topics or trying to recall all the weird and crazy sights we have seen over the last month and a half. I check CNN every day, trying to loosely keep up with the world around us, as it feels like we are in our own world, here in this tiny country surrounded by the highest peaks in the world.
Out the window behind my bed, I see makeshift brick layered houses, some sections being held up by wooden stilts. People are almost literally living on top of each other, with no personal space, let alone a comfortable back yard. Random chunks of cement and small piles of garbage are scattered about aimlessly. Mangled street dogs roam freely, looking for an old rotten scrap to eat, while dozens of shop owners line the street outside our hotel, trying to make a sale to get by. Smog pours into the sky with the bustle of chaotic traffic. Teenagers hard at work peddling people on rigshaws at a snail’s pace share the same road with industrial size trucks, speeding taxis , and motorcyclist weaving in and out of traffic. No painted lines or street sign govern traffic patterns, as it is more or less a free-for-all.
Lisa and I wake up in the morning to the sound of people gagging and vomiting, likely due to the pollution that fills the mouths and lungs of everyone that calls Kathmandu home. Lisa made a good point last night while we shared a drink on our rooftop, that depressing would be the best word to describe the state of affairs here, and other similar places. Kathmandu is an enchanting city filled with marvelous history, but although it is a promise land for those who come here from an even harder life, I see despair on the faces of many. So many people here want more for their life, and even more so the future life of their children, but are unable to properly provide due to cultural disdain toward them in the form of a caste system that pushes people down and keeps them there for their entire life.
Although not quite as prevalent in more modernized cities here or many areas of India, there is a distinct caste system throughout Nepal. People are born into different sects or levels of society (castes) People born into “higher” or “more prominent” castes are generally afforded more opportunities, enjoy an overall higher quality of life, and are looked at as a more dignified person. As the system filters down, people of “lower” caste are given a much lesser chance for good employment, are generally far less educated and, overall, and are recognized as lower class citizens. Still further down the list are those who are on the bottom floor of the system, those who have no caste within society are looked upon by some to be the scum of the earth. This sounds horrible right!?!
Now let’s transition. A system in which people are born much richer than others and afforded more opportunities because of it. A system in which people who are born poor are looked down upon by some as being second class citizens or worse. A system in which money along with family name and distinction play a greater role in some cases than a person’s general outlook on life and their willingness to help others…hmmm… That’s sounds a lot like the country I grew up in, or just about every other nation across the world. The point of this blog is not to demean the life of those who live in a less developed country; that approach would be me doing the same exact thing as I just stated above, generalizing people for the way they go about their live. My purpose is rather to show that the differences in cultural thought here as oppose to my home nation are razor thin…basically identical in many regards. I’ve been and worked in the Hamptons, or New York City and seen and met Wall Street executives and Fortune 500 CEO’s that stick their nose up to the less fortunate. I myself have walked by homeless people on the side of the street in various places without even noticing their presence. The way people may go about expressing these thoughts in society may differ, but the general principle, the overlying thought process is so similar. This should make us really take a step back to re-evaluate the way we all live our lives, assuming the things that other people do are so wrong, when in fact, they are quite similar to the way we (or at least many other groups of people) live their lives.
You may need to read it twice, or even a handful of times. You may have to remove yourself from my blog and think about it in your own unique way. But I feel that most of you will come to the same overall conclusion that we are not so different from others. As I previously stated in a separate blog, we are all the same human beings with the same emotions and instinctive thoughts about others. But again, these are my thoughts on my personal blog, and you have every right to disagree completely with what I say. In any case, it is an interesting topic of discussion that really makes you possibly re-evaluate things if you are willing to contemplate with an open mind.

Dance keeps them on toes
Waimate is gearing up to host its next round of highland dance competitions.
Dancers from around the South Island will attend the event, along with representatives from Waimate, including Phoebe Todd and Victoria Wilson, both 17.
Highland dancing has played a huge part in their lives, both starting out as youngsters - Phoebe took it up 14 years ago, and Victoria, 12 years ago.
Their love of the dance has seen them compete in numerous competitions, including the highland dance nationals, recently held in Palmerston North.
Both girls have developed a great love of the dance and cannot imagine life without it.
"I love the social life, the people are just so nice," Phoebe says.
She also loves competing, which gives dancers an opportunity to catch up with the friends they have made over the years.
Phoebe says that though the competition can be intense, everyone gets on.
"The competitions aren't just competitions.
"I go and I'm just so excited to see everyone," Phoebe says.
"Its just a nice sport, really," Victoria added.
The girls are already gearing up for their next competitions, being held at the St Patrick's hall in Waimate on August 25, where about 30 competitors will perform.
Many of the competitors expected to attend are from South Canterbury, however the event also attracts dancers from Ashburton, Oamaru and Dunedin.
The event is one of three held in Waimate each year.
Victoria and Phoebe are both ambitious when it comes to their dancing. Both girls want to extend their dance skills, and pass on what they have already learned to other up and coming dancers.
"I've just completed all my exams in May so I get my diploma at conference in September. That means I can pretty much be a judge [at competitions]," Phoebe says.
She has also been teaching some of the district's young dancers and has enjoyed watching the results unfold.
"I enjoy watching their confidence grow.
"I just want people to have fun dancing."
However, Phoebe is quick to add that there is more to highland dancing than meets the eye.
"You learn about dedication and commitment. You have to dance and keep fit, and learn how to manage your time, and you've got to be a good competitor.
"You have good days and bad days."

John is unique among the four Gospels in that it speaks of incarnation (John 1). The other Gospels never speak of a previous life for Jesus. In John, Jesus lived with God before mortal life. And everything he says and all his acts conform to what he heard and saw with God in a preexistence (John 5). Joseph Smith makes a huge thing of this, and it forms one of the two pinnacles of the final part of early Mormon teaching. Once you start to think this way, and John does it right from the beginning, it changes everything. The other Gospels make it clear that Jesus is speaking for God, but they never give an explanation of the genesis of that teaching. John does this, and it turns into one of the two pillars of Mormon cosmology.
It’s possible that this incarnation theme is a product of the second epoch of the Gospel, but it’s certainly possible that it represents preaching from Jesus himself, at least the portion we have in John 5. It’s really impossible to say for sure where it began to be a prominent theme in the preaching, before, or after the resurrection. But it’s there and it was influential on the early church and clearly in Mormonism, though the linkage is somewhat hidden. One place it occurs prominently is the Book of Mormon: the Condescension of God. This is the incarnation. And it has John all over the face of it. In the Book of Mormon, Jesus’ previous life is as the Lord Omnipotent. This is an odd phrase, and one that seems almost creedal in its intent. It is in a sense, a forecasting of Matthew’s dual Jesus: Davidic Messiah, and Son of God. Of course, the Book of Mormon doesn’t spend a lot of time with David. He’s not an admirable character in spots where he appears (and the temple is largely irrelevant for Mormon), in fact the only time he appears marginally important is in Isaiah quotations. He’s engaged in serious abomination for Jacob. This is not Matthew’s view at all, but it is certainly Johannine in terms of rank.
This incarnation teaching seems closely connected to the Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament, and it’s not hard to give some examples that point to this. First, the Gospels portray Jesus as a person of divine wisdom. The Wisdom Literature include books like Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and parallel to these are a lot of parables, wise sayings, and so on in the Gospels. That aspect of Wisdom Literature is reflected in the Jesus of the Synoptics (Matthew, Mark, Luke). Jews who heard Jesus, saw in him this Wisdom tradition. There is also another aspect of Wisdom Literature, some in Proverbs, some in Apocryphal books like Ecclesiasticus or Sirach, and the Wisdom of Solomon. This other aspect of wisdom is more abstract, and often portrayed as personification. The personification nods to Wisdom (a feminine noun in Hebrew) as the first of the creation or emanation (Book of the Wisdom of Solomon says emanation) from God (and this is important for John). God makes all things as Wisdom dictates. In Sirach you have episodes where Wisdom speaks of herself, her relation to God, her role in creation, her love of creation, she wants to guide the creatures of God, how she comes down to live among people, she is represented in the Law (of Moses) and she nourishes the people.
Sirach chapter 24 tells of Wisdom speaking in the heavenly assembly (Grand Council?), how she came from God’s mouth, lived in the highest heaven, encompassed the whole of heaven, She was over the sea, and to every people, she dictates. “Then the creator of all things gave me a command” and this is found in John in reference to Jesus, God commands him. “My creator chose the place for my tent where I would dwell.” In John 1: the Word came down and dwelt among us (literally set up a tent among us). “And God said, make your dwelling in Jacob, in Israel receive your inheritance.” “Before the ages, in the beginning he created me, and for all ages, I shall not cease to be.” (John: Jesus existed with God from the beginning and will never cease to exist.) “In the holy tent, I ministered before him, and I was established in Zion.” (She was in heaven then came down to Jerusalem, because she is the Law, and that centers in the temple.) “Like the vine, I bud forth the lights.” (John: I am the vine, you are the branches.) The Wisdom Literature has a very prominent presence in John. These wisdom books had influence in culture outside Judaism, Sirach was translated into Greek, the Book of Wisdom was written in Greek and it doubles back into the tradition later on.
John also adds another twist to Christian eschatology. The other Gospels emphasize that Jesus will return from heaven, people will see his true glory, there will be the judgement, and eternal life will come to the chosen. John turns this on its head a bit. The idea that Jesus came from heaven reads all of those things as a part of the ministry—offering eternal life, second comforter, it’s salvific in the present. In fact Joseph Smith draws heavily on this in his theology of assurance, all of which finds some basis in John. Joseph Smith’s sermon cycle of 1843 on election is primal in his teaching of polygamy and much of its related theological diaspora finds a connection in John.
Next week: John and eternal life.
 See R. H. Charles, The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, 268ff.
A systematic treatment of intertexuality with regard to John’s Prologue and Mormon scripture, something I will approach very briefly as I go on with this series, is found in Nicholas J. Frederick, “Line Within Line: An Intertextual Analysis of Mormon Scripture and the Prologue of the Gospel of John” (Ph.D. Dissertation, Claremont Graduate University, 2013). For a discussion of some of the issues that overlay much of what I’m about in this series, see here. If you have access to a university library, Frederick’s dissertation is available through proquest. Others can also get the dissertation through proquest for a fee. While I do not appeal to the formal methods, arguments, and conclusions of Frederick (at least intentionally), it is a valuable study for the interested.

I’ve spent time today avoiding doing things, things in this case being housework. After spending the last few days running round I thought I deserved a little time for me. I’m so exhausted at the moment waiting to open up the store (delay is now down to images – or rather lack of! Seriously I wish these people would pull their bloody fingers out!), clothes shopping for the kids who are never happy, or trying to organise our lives. I feel like I’m living in a state of distraction at the moment. One reason may be down to Chris being away again. I miss him so much when he’s not here. When he’s not here my frustration over the store seems to want to explode, he is keeping me sane right now.
So, I sat down while the kids have been playing a Lego game on the Xbox and played in my lovely and quickly filling up A4 watercolour moleskine. I adore this journal (yes – there are some for the shop), and created this page in it.
That’s it for now. Thank you for stopping by and wish me luck in getting those blooming images so we can open up!

PHIL BORGES: "CRAZYWISE" new documentary
by Phil Borges & Kevin Tomlinson
Crazy...or wise? The traditional wisdom of indigenous cultures often contradicts modern views about a mental health crisis. Is it a ‘calling’ to grow or just a ‘broken brain’? The documentary CRAZYWISE explores what can be learned from people around the world who have turned their psychological crisis into a positive transformative experience.
What can we learn from those who have turned their psychological crisis into a positive transformative experience?
What if a psychological crisis was seen as having the potential to be a positive transformative experience, instead of a “broken brain”?
In this new documentary the human-rights photographer Phil Borges witnessed how indigenous cultures around the world often identify “psychotic” symptoms as an indicator of shamanic potential.
Back in the US, Phil follows two young Americans diagnosed with “mental illness.” Adam, 27, suffers devastating side effects from medications before embracing meditation. Ekhaya, 32, survives several suicide attempts before spiritual training to become a traditional South African healer.
CRAZYWISE introduces mental health professionals and psychiatric survivors who see a psychological crisis as a potential growth experience, not a disease: it doesn't aim to over-romanticize indigenous wisdom, or completely condemn Western treatment. Not every indigenous person who has a crisis becomes a shaman. And many individuals benefit from Western medications.
However, indigenous peoples’ acceptance of non-ordinary states of consciousness, along with rituals and metaphors that form deep connections to nature, to each other, and to ancestors, is something we can learn from.
CRAZYWISE adds a voice to the growing conversation that believes a psychological crisis can be an opportunity for growth and potentially transformational, not a disease without a cure.

“Priest” director Scott Stewart is heading back to the dark side with his upcoming supernatural thriller. Dimension Films have acquired U.S. distribution rights to “Dark Skies,” which Stewart will write and direct.
Jason Blum (“Insidious,” “Paranormal Activity”) is producing alongside Alliance Films, while Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Charles Layton will executive produce.
We don’t yet know what the film’s about — although judging from Stewart’s previous films (he also directed “Legion”) and from ominous title, we’re guessing that the plot of “Dark Skies” will be a spooky one.
The film is scheduled to start shooting this summer.
“Jason has done a masterful job over the past several years of breaking new ground and creating huge commercial successes in the supernatural and horror genres,” said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of Dimension and The Weinstein Company. “We are confident that ‘Dark Skies’ will continue that success.”
Before directing, Stewart was a senior staffer at the special effects company The Orphanage.

This debate takes place after the former head of the Observatory of Drugs of the Organization of American States (OAS) Alvaro Briones referred to the possibility of legalizing this market in The Mercury.
“We must rely on evidence. This tells us that drug trafficking is directly associated with violence and to the use of firearms and, therefore, the state has to confront them decisively“said the government authority.
“I don’t know if we want to make Chile an experimental state in which drugs are legalized,” Galli questioned, adding: “I would call for prudence, and that implies not giving prescriptions with signatures of international organizations, as suggesting a certain endorsement in the proposal that is made“.
Carlos CharmeMeanwhile, he warned that “the premise that legalizing the black market ends immediately is not supported by evidence. In Uruguay, between 2017 and 2018, despite legalizing marijuana, seizures increased by 30 percent… Which means that there is still more drug than before. “
“The prevalence of consumption in schoolchildren has increased sustainably, while in Chile, in the same period, low“, assured the director of the Senda.

Aynur Tekin / DUVAR
Severe weather, pandemic shipping issues, and a struggling global economy are contributing to a surge in coffee prices - in the past year, the base price of coffee doubled. For a country like Turkey, where coffee is a central part of social life and a cultural staple, this rise in prices could have an enormously detrimental effect. As the Turkish economy continues to flounder, high-priced coffee could push some coffee drinkers away from the habit and drive many small coffee producers out of business.
Climate change is one of the primary factors in the skyrocketing prices of coffee. In the past year, hundreds of thousands of coffee trees in Brazil - the world’s largest coffee producer - have been destroyed by drought, frost, and other extreme weather events caused by climate change. These trees can take from four to seven years to grow back, and are notoriously weather-sensitive - coffee crops can be threatened by higher-than-usual levels of wind, heat, or cold, all of which are more likely as a result of climate change. The coffee most directly affected by this year’s weather events was the popular arabica strand.
Coffee prices aren’t high only as a result of the weather. Prices - which are at a six-year high - have also been driven up by shipping delays and obstructions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. The port of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, for example, closed its ports during the pandemic, bringing global trade there to a standstill. Many other countries have closed their borders or imposed high barriers to entry for trade, all of which have led to a surge in coffee prices.
Atilla Şık is a coffee connoisseur who has been in the business since 2010. He has lived all over the world, discovering and importing coffee from countries such as Indonesia, Tanzania, and Kenya. He noted in an interview with Gazete Duvar that the port closure in Vietnam had an outsized effect on coffee prices around the world, including in Turkey.
“Due to its proximity to Singapore and the fact that it is neighbors with China, Ho Chi Minh as a port is very important,” he said.
He also highlighted the effect that the rise in prices would have on the market in Turkey. Last year, the retail price of Turkish coffee was approximately 50 lira per kilo. Now, it is 90 to 100 lira per kilo. Many coffee producers in Turkey buy coffee in 100-gram packs - one year ago, one of these packages cost around 6 liras. Now, the most affordable packet you can find is 7.75 liras, but most cost around 9 liras.
This price increase also affects individual consumers. Turkish consumers typically purchase granular coffee in smaller packages - now, the average consumer price of a 100-gram package of Turkish coffee is 50 to 60 lira. Last year, it was 25 to 30 lira. Many Turkish people drink Turkish coffee every day - it is a means of socializing, of energizing, and of winding down. As the lira’s value greatly depreciates, this rise in coffee prices may mean many need to cut the beverage out of their daily routine.
“The price of this may increase by three to four times in the future,” said Şık. “Coffee is a substance consumed more than water around the world […] Let’s imagine that 100 grams of coffee cost 120 liras in 2023. Then, coffee will be a special beverage that is not served to others. It will be kept for oneself.
Large corporations like Nestle and Starbucks have announced that the coffee shortage will not affect their brands’ prices. They have large stocks that can cushion the blow of this year’s poor harvest and shipping delays. However, says Şık, this is not the case for smaller coffee producers.
In Turkey, warehouses that process coffee in cities like Gaziantep and Urfa do not have high levels of stock - they cannot artificially keep prices low. Further, if large corporations buy up what is left of the coffee in countries like Indonesia and Brazil, these small producers will be in an even more dire situation. Şık said that corporations will hold the rights to all coffee produced by farms they purchase -- the farms with the “most beautiful, healthiest, well-groomed beans” and that small producers will be unable to access the stock. Coffee prices for small producers will then be driven even higher.
According to Şık, once these prices rise, they will be impossible to bring back down.
“When nature recovers and the yield returns to its former state, it will be impossible to say ‘let’s lower the prices,’” he said. “This rise in prices will not decrease.”
As a result of the climate crisis and the rise in prices, the Turkish government has lowered import taxes on coffee from 13 percent to eight percent. However, coffee producers say this isn’t enough to keep prices down - they want the import fees to be brought to zero.

TEMMA TEJE-MIDGET LAMPS IN THE DARK.
TEMMA TEJE-MIDGET LAMPS IN THE DARK.
Although TEMMA-Teje is just twenty-one, he’s packed a lot into his nascent musical career, so far. Starting at just aged thirteen, he was writing songs for his band. By sixteen, his band were playing twice a week at various venues. He was guitarist and vocalist. Then his career progressed in different directions. Inspired by the music of Underworld, TEMMA-Teje started making music on his laptop. Having put his music on My Space, people all over the world, discovered his music. This lead to a career as remixer, remixing tracks by Dave Angel and Ken Ishii, Thopa, Hiroshi Wantanbe, Dublee and Sasaki Hiroki. These remixes have been critically acclaimed by his peers, as has his original work. So far, TEMMA-Teje has released three E.P.s, plus collaborating with Foog on an E.P, Dumb. His career as a remixer and artist runs parallel to a career as one of the hottest DJs in Tokyo, spinning his own brand of urban groove. Somehow, TEMME Teje has found time to record his debut album, Midget Lamps In the Dark, which will be released on 24th July 2012 on the Plaza In Crowd label. On Midget Lamps In the Dark, TEMMA-Teje’s fuses a variety of genres, with everything from folk, pop and rock to ambient, techno and house playing its part in the album’s sound.
Into opens Midget Lamps In the Dark is Intro, a track which teases you, making you wonder the direction the track is heading. Just guitars that sound as if they belong in sixties surf track combine with drums, before stabs of synths enter. They combine, repeating the same rhythms and patterns, building and building. You’re always awaiting something different happening, the track breaking loose. That never happens. Instead. TEMMA-Teje, by using a variation on a theme, teases and tantalizes, resulting in you hungrily awaiting the next track, to see which direction Midget Lamps In the Dark heads.
Straight away, when Littleorc begins, the track reminds you of an elegant, sometimes moody soundscape. TEMMA-Teje uses just synths, drums and bass as the track meanders into being. Washes of synths are key to the track, while slow, thoughtful keyboards drift in, accompanying the sometimes squelchy synths. Later, there’s even an Eastern influence when percussion is added. Then briefly, an almost haunting sound that emanates from the arrangement, bringing to mind eighties and nineties ambient tracks. However, by then, you’re drawn into the arrangement, succumbing to its gloriously, laid-back and elegant sound, which you want to hear much more of.
When Suici begins, you’re immediately struck by the dark, quite menacing side to the track. Brief bursts of ethereal vocals from a choir, scratches, spacey drums and stabs of synths combine. From the get-go, a darkness descends, becoming almost menacing. This is due to the synths, and slow drums. Repeatedly, TEEMA-Teje uses the same notes over and again, giving the track its dark, broody and menacing side. Later, the drums quicken, taking their sound from Detroit techno. They then become crisp, while scratches and effects offer a contrast. All this plays its part in this broody, moody and totally compelling, sound and success.
Quite different from the preceding track is Orb. Almost gone in the darkness of Suici. Instead, it’s replaced by a track where synths and percussion create a much lighter and compelling sounding track. Quickly, the track reveals its charms and secrets. When a keyboard enters solo enters, the mood lightens even more. As you wonder where the track is heading, TEMMA-Teje adds pounding drums. They’re just the finishing touch the track needs. By fusing elements of folk, techno and ambient music, TEMMA-Teje has produced one of the highlights of Midget Lamps In the Dark.
It seems on Midget Lamps In the Dark, TEMMA-Teje sees to toy with darkness and light. On Fillis, the track has a dark, stabs of dark keyboards resonate, while a haunting voice adds to the menacing sound. Then when the pounding drums charge in, they’re like the cavalry to the rescue. They’re stopped in their tracks by synths and vocal samples. Once drums break free, with the synths and sinister sounding vocals this eight minute Magnus Opus takes shape. Although variously dark, moody and broody, it’s impossible not to be swept along by the track. For me, it also allows TEMMA-Teje to reveal just how talented a composer, musician and producer he truly is, creating a glorious overture of beats, vocal samples and synths. Once you’ve heard the track you too will agree.
Fail sees TEEMA-Teje combine quick, pounding beats and synths to create a track that has a real old school sound. Complete with vinyl-like crackle he uses, synths, beats and percussion to drive the track along. Using techno as one of his reference points, he changes gears, hissing hi-hats joining the party. In doing so, he creates a track that’s totally irresistible, and rather than Fail as the title says, passes with credit.
Space is an apt title for a track, with TEEMA-Teje leaving space in between waves of music that surges powerfully. Bursts and stabs of synths, percussion and drums that almost punish your speakers are key to the track’s sound. It’s the type of track that would work really well in any club. As the arrangement gallops along, swathes of music reverberate, hanging dramatically in the ether. Hissing hi-hats join, contrasting the dark synths, while percussion and beefy drums are key to the track’s sound as success. Here, TEEMA-Tee pays a fitting homage to veterans of electronic music, including The Orb and his heroes Underworld.
Closing Midget Lamps In the Dark is Candy, where mellow, Eastern sounding percussion, melodic keyboards and pounding drums combine. The keyboards sound like what would happen if a harpsichord was played through an effects processor. Soon, the arrangement grows, with layers of keyboards, that remind me of Underworld, joining. Along with bursts of percussion, crashing cymbals and crisp drums that pound, the track is driven along. It heads on an intriguing and compelling musical journey. During that journey, Candy reveals so many surprises and subtleties, that it takes several times to discover them all. It’s well worth discovering these surprises and subtleties, that bring TEEMA-Teje’s debut album Midget Lamps In the Dark, to a close.
TEEMA-Teje’s debut album Midget Lamps In the Dark is a intriguing series of eight compelling and mesmerizing soundscapes. During the album TEMMA-Teje fuses a variety of musical genres and influences. Everything from folk, pop and rock to ambient, techno and house plays its part in the album’s sound. During the album, TEMMA-Teje journey’s through darkness and light. On some tracks, the darkness descends, with the sound becoming moody and broody, sometimes, even menacing. Other times, the darkness lifts, with the light shining through, and the music becoming quite different. This is what makes Midget Lamps In the Dark such a compelling, intriguing and accomplished suite of soundscapes. What makes Midget Lamps In the Dark even more remarkable, is that this is his debut album, plus of course, his age. He’s only twenty-one years old, but having started his career aged thirteen, is something of a music veteran. If TEMMA-Teje is able to create such an accomplished album as Midget Lamps In the Dark, aged just twenty-one, then what will the a bight future awaits him, not just as an artist, but as a remixer and DJ. Once you’ve heard Midget Lamps In the Dark, which will released on 24th July 2012 on the Plaza In Crowd label I’m sure you’ll agree. Standout Tracks: Littleorc, Suici, Orb and Fail.

ALL THREE players shortlisted for the Ballon d’Or award were selected by their peers for the 2014 FIFPro World XI team.
Lionel Messi, Manuel Neuer and Cristiano Ronaldo were among seven 2013 team members who retained their places in worldwide voting by 23,000 members of national players’ unions.
Germany’s World Cup-winning captain Philipp Lahm, Brazil captain Thiago Silva, and Spain pair Sergio Ramos and Andres Iniesta also stayed in the elite lineup.
David Luiz was voted into the defence despite playing in Brazil’s 7-1 rout by Germany in the World Cup semi-finals, when Thiago Silva was suspended.
The Brazilian pair later reunited for a second embarrassing loss, 3-0 against the Netherlands in the third-place match.
Arjen Robben was the only player picked from the Dutch team, which started the World Cup by thumping holders Spain 5-1.
Argentina had a second selection as Angel Di Maria joined teammate Messi.
Toni Kroos completed the lineup as the third Germany player and the fourth who played for Bayern Munich last year.
As Kroos transferred in the off-season to join Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos at Real Madrid, the European champion also had four players in the FIFPro lineup. Di Maria was a standout in Madrid’s Champions League final victory against city rival Atletico, before joining Manchester United.
Luiz was the other World XI player who switched clubs last season, moving from Chelsea to join Thiago Silva at Paris Saint-Germain.
However, there was again no place for Brazil’s Neymar. He lost out to Robben in a three-man attack with Messi and Ronaldo, a year after Zlatan Ibrahimovic was elected as third striker.
The other 2013 team members who lost their places were Dani Alves, Xavi Hernandez and Franck Ribery.

New book supports claims that Dutch footballers took speed pills before games in the 1970s
More claims of doping being prevalent at the highest level of European football in the 1970s have emerged in a new book by Dutch journalist Guido Derksen.
In ‘Voetbal Mysteries’ Derksen’s study of Dutch football claims some players took pills once a week and chewed on amphetamines before games.
He also tells how some Feyenoord players fainted for no reason after one match against AZ Alkmaar.
High times: Ajax and Feyenoord were two teams alleged to have used performance enhancing drugs in the 1970s
The book also suggests that players from Feyenoord and Ajax played Intercontinental Cup finals in 1970 and 1972 under the influence of drugs.
The book’s publication comes after revelations from former Dutch international Johnny Rep last August.
Rep said in an interview with Dutch television: 'I took an amphetamine pill before a European Cup game. But that was not that extraordinary at the time.'
Earlier this year findings by Berlin’s Humboldt University for the Federal Institute of Sport Science (BISp), also suggest a systematic sports doping system had been established in the former West Germany.

Gambling is a topic that evokes a wide range of emotions and opinions. Some view it as a thrilling form of entertainment, while others see it as a dangerous pastime with potentially devastating consequences. The allure of gambling lies in its promise of quick riches and the excitement that comes with taking risks. From the bright lights and sounds of casinos to the convenience of online betting platforms, the gambling world offers a variety of experiences for players to explore.
Despite its widespread popularity, gambling also carries significant risks. For many individuals, the highs of winning can often be overshadowed by the lows of losing big. Addiction and financial troubles are common pitfalls associated with problem gambling, highlighting the darker side of this industry. As the debate over gambling regulation continues, it is essential to consider both the positive and negative aspects of this activity to ensure that appropriate measures are in place to protect vulnerable populations.
Impacts of gambling
Gambling can have a significant impact on individuals and communities. For some, it provides a thrilling experience and the possibility of winning large sums of money. However, the allure of easy money can also lead to addiction and financial ruin for many people.
Psychologically, gambling can be addictive, leading to harmful behaviors and impulse control issues. The constant desire to win can drive individuals to gamble excessively, which can result in stress, anxiety, and depression. This can ultimately strain relationships and impact overall mental well-being.
From a societal perspective, problem gambling can create strain on healthcare systems and social services. The financial consequences of excessive gambling can lead to bankruptcy, homelessness, and crime. This not only affects the individuals directly involved but can also have broader implications on families and communities as a whole. slot depo 5 rb
Regulation and legality
In the world of gambling, regulations play a crucial role in ensuring fairness and protection for all players involved. Each country has its own set of laws governing the gambling industry, from casinos to online betting platforms.
In some regions, gambling is strictly regulated and only permitted in licensed establishments, while in others, it may be more loosely monitored or even prohibited altogether. These regulations are put in place to prevent issues such as money laundering, underage gambling, and addiction.
When participating in gambling activities, it is essential to be aware of the legalities in your area to avoid any potential consequences. Understanding the regulations can help players make informed decisions and enjoy gambling responsibly.
Support for gambling addiction
If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling addiction, it’s important to know that help is available. Many organizations and support groups specialize in assisting individuals facing this challenge.
Seeking professional help from therapists or counselors who understand gambling addiction can be a crucial step towards recovery. These specialists can provide personalized strategies to address the addiction and work towards a healthier relationship with gambling.
Additionally, reaching out to support groups such as Gamblers Anonymous can offer a network of individuals who can relate to your experiences and provide encouragement on the path to overcoming addiction. Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and there are resources ready to support you.

Judge in Theranos fraud case orders 14-hour psychological test for Holmes [arstechnica.com]:
Elizabeth Holmes—the disgraced founder and ex-CEO of the now-defunct blood-testing startup, Theranos [arstechnica.com]—may use a mental condition as a defense against a slew of federal fraud charges [arstechnica.com], according to a court document filed this week [arstechnica.net].
Holmes and Theranos’ former president Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani were charged in June 2018 with nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Federal prosecutors allege the pair—who were romantically involved during the alleged crimes—engaged in conspiracy to defraud Theranos investors out of more than $100 million and defraud doctors and patients into falsely believing the company’s faulty blood-testing technology could reliably perform accurate health tests with just drops of blood from a finger-prick.
According to the court document filed this week, Holmes—who is now being tried separately from Balwani—notified the court last December that she plans to submit “expert evidence relating to a mental disease or defect or any other mental condition” that has bearing on the issue of guilt. The expert providing such evidence was named in the document as psychologist Mindy Mechanic, of California State University, Fullerton.
According to Mechanic’s faculty website [fullerton.edu], she focuses on “psychosocial consequences of violence, trauma, and victimization with an emphasis on violence against women and other forms of interpersonal violence.” The site also notes that Mechanic “frequently provides expert testimony in complex legal cases involving interpersonal violence.”
The court document goes on to say what the specific mental health testimony will cover, but the information is redacted.
In response to Holmes’ plans to provide mental health evidence, federal prosecutors requested that they should also be able to examine Holmes’ mental state and provide their own psychiatric evidence in court as a fair rebuttal.
The judge in the case, US District Judge Edward Davila of the Northern District of California, agreed with the prosecutors. As such, he ordered Holmes to undergo up to 14 hours of psychological testing and psychiatric evaluation by two government-appointed doctors over the course of two consecutive days. Davila also ordered that the government’s evaluation of Holmes be recorded on video—over Holmes’ objections.
The mental condition defense in just the latest twist in the long, dramatic saga of Theranos and its darling-turned-pariah founder. Holmes, a college dropout, garnered glowing media attention after founding her startup in 2003 at the age of just 19. She was known for her Steve Jobs-like fashion choices and bold claims of technological prowess. In 2014, the company was valued at $9 billion [arstechnica.com].
But according to multiple media investigations since, Theranos’ technology was faulty and much of the company’s claims were misleading or false. Behind the scenes, Balwani was co-leading the company with Holmes and was reportedly known around the office as “the enforcer.”
Holmes had met Balwani while they both studied Mandarin at Beijing University during the summer of 2002, when she was about 18 and he was 37 [go.com]. They later became romantically involved and Balwani joined the company in 2009.
Holmes’ trial is currently scheduled for March 2021 and Balwani’s trial is expected to follow. They both face up to 20 years in prison.

Under bulk electrolysis conditions, cycle time is a better measure of stability than cycle number and, for materials that are unstable in their charged state, the fractional capacity accessed is inversely related to cycle time until failure.
Significance and Impact
While standardized testing protocols for bulk electrolysis have yet to be agreed upon, consistency in data analysis can improve the comparison of materials-specific decay rates across the literature and consequently accelerate discovery science
- We investigated the decay of a model compound, 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)benzene (DBBB), under a variety of commonly reported bulk electrolysis cycling conditions
- Bulk electrolysis data is often reported as the capacity versus cycle number. However, at varying currents (C-rates), this “perceived stability” varies drastically.
- Cycling time, rather than cycle number, is a better representation of stability as relevant chemical decomposition reactions are time-dependent.
- Accessed capacity per cycle also impacts observed stability, due to the time- and concentration-dependence of decomposition processes.

may beget such a gravity as diverts the music of verse." Davenant died A.D. 1668.
The king (who never time nor power misspent
In subject's bashfulness, whiling great deeds Like coward councils, who too late consent)
Thus to his secret will aloud proceeds : “ If to thy fame, brave youth, I could add wings,
Or make her trumpet louder by my voice, I would (as an example drawn for kings)
Proclaim the cause why thou art now my choice.
For she is yours, as your adoption free;
And in that gift my remnant life I give;
And she that heaven where secondly I live.
When life's long progress I have gone with fame), Take all her love; which scarce forbears to shine
And own thee, through her virgin-curtain, shame.” Thus spake the king; and Rhodalind appear'd
Through publish'd love, with so much bashfulness, As young kings show, when by surprise o'erheard
Moaning to fav’rite ears a deep distress. For love is a distress, and would be hid
Like monarch’s griefs, by which they bashful grow; And in that shame beholders they forbid ;
Since those blush most who most their blushes show. And Gondibert, with dying eyes, did grieve
At her vail'd love (a wound he cannot heal), As great minds mourn, who cannot then relieve
The virtuous, when through shame they want conceal. And now cold Birtha's rosy looks decay;
Who in fear’s frost had like her beauty died, But that attendant hope persuades her stay
Awhile, to hear her duke ; who thus replied : "Victorious king ! abroad your subjects are
Like legates, safe; at home like altars free: Even by your fame they conquer, as by war ;
And by your laws safe from each other bé.
A king you are o'er subjects so, as wise
And noble husbands seem o'er loyal wives ;
And brag to strangers of their happy lives.
Like summer trees, beneath your bounty's load; To me (next him whom your great self, with low
And cheerful duty serves) a giving God.”
And by this fair pretence, whilst on the king
Lord Astragon through all the house attends, Young Orgo does the duke to Birtha bring,
Who thus her sorrows to his bosom sends : “Why should my storm your life's calm voyage vex.
Destroying wholly virtue's race in one ?
All in a single ruin were undone.
Your once-loved maid, excuse you, since I know That virtuous men forsake so willingly
Long-cherish'd life, because to heav'n they go.
procures, I still shall value the advancement high,
Not as the crown is hers, but she is yours.”
and from thence (Form'd like a heart) a cheerful em'rald drew;
Cheerful, as if the lively stone had sense.
Not ta'en from the Attic silver mine,
Did on the necks of Parthian ladies shine:
Nor taken from those rocks where Bactrians climb : But from the Scythian, and without a cloud;
Not sick at fire, nor languishing with time.
Progenitors, was to the loyal she
The nuptial pledge; and this I give to thee.
Seven centuries have pass'd, since it from bride
To bride did first succeed ; and though 'tis known From ancient lore that gems much virtue hide,
And that the em’rald is the bridal' stone; Though much renown'd because it chastens loves,
And will, when worn by the neglected wife,
By faintness and a pale decay of life;
Yet each compared to this does counsel keep
Or seems born blind, or feigns a dying sleep.
kinder fears be sent To watch at court, if I deserve to die,
By making this to fade, and you lament.” Had now an artful pencil Birtha drawn,
With grief all dark, then straight with joy all light,
A sudden break of beauty out of night.
Like nipping frost, did to her visage bring ;
A rosy morn begin a sudden spring.
ABRAHAM COWLEY, the son of a grocer in London, was born A.D. 1618, and educated partly at Westminster School, and partly at Cambridge. From the University he was ejected during the great Rebellion; and following the queen to France, he devoted himself with persevering zeal to the royal cause. On his return to England he was imprisoned, and afterwards set free on bail. Till the Restoration he continued to live in England, without offering any further what must have proved an ineffectual opposition to the government. In consequence of this quiescence his former services and sacrifices met, on the accession of Charles the Second, no other return than that of neglect and contumely. Near the end of his life Cowley obtained a small competence, through the influence of Buckingham; and settling at Chertsey, on the Thames, enjoyed for a short time what he had pronounced to be the best human happiness—"a small house in a large garden.” Cowley was one of the most learned among poets, as well as one of the most simple-hearted and amiable of men.
In spite of quaint conceits, and a versification often immelodious, his poetry has qualities both of thought and imagination which won for it the applause of Milton.
In a deep vision's intellectual scene,
Thou changeling! thou, bewitch'd with noise and show,
Thus spake the Muse, and spake it with a smile
Ah, wanton foe! dost thou upbraid
SPECIMEN STANZAS FROM THE
HYMN TO LIGHT.”
Do all thy winged arrows fly?
Swiftness and Power by birth are thine: From thy great sire they came-thy sire, the Word Divine. Thou in the Moon's bright chariot, proud and gay,
Dost thy bright wood of stars survey ;
And all the year dost with thee bring


As the founder and driving force behind the music label Sheikomuzik, Sheiko Litho knows a thing or two about making a hit and happening single. As a label boss, he has been responsible for plenty of positive and life-affirming records that span genres, from pop and R&B to worldbeat and EDM and music. He also knows that the world is, in many respects, a very small place, creatively speaking, which explains the label’s constant collaboration with artists and musicians across the globe. It is a burgeoning music force that hops not only genre and geography but also sound and style, musical creed and culture. In short, it is an all-embracing and forward-thinking musical approach.
The latest release, Red Raw, is the perfect example of what the label and the man whose vision that label is built on is all about. Although the label’s music is, as described above, eclectic across the board, Red Raw sits somewhere in the R&B/dance-pop spectrum. R&B seems to be having a bit of a renaissance, so why shouldn’t it be? When done correctly, the genre is the perfect storm of soulful traditions, poised-pop attitudes, rootsy grooves and beautiful dance-fuelled infectiousness. And that is the perfect summation of this song. And in this case, you can add to the list6 of attributes that the single is also deftly cut and wonderfully spacious enough for the instrumentation to be able to breathe, percolate and mature like fine sonic wine.
And, as if to underline the cosmopolitan vibe of this record, not only does it flirt with genres, it flits between languages. In the hands of lesser individuals, the mixing and matching of language may be off-putting. Still, here, things are so expertly put together that even if the song switches language and you lose the direct communication of the lyric, so sweetly is the song delivered that the voice becomes just another layer of exquisite tone and beguiling texture, voice as an instrument, and the song is all the better for it.
Of course, what every good song needs is a great video. Again, Sheiko ticks that box for us, and Red Raw is best experienced as an audio-visual package. The video is a cool collection of avant-garde imagery, sensual scenes, abstract artistry, and imaginative interludes. As is always the case, songs and videos can be great as individual art attacks, but when put together correctly, as they are here, they go far beyond being the sum of their parts.
Forward-thinking, poised pop? New dance? Arty R&B? Sophisticated clubland culture? It is all of these things and more. Better still, let’s just call it great music and have done with it.

Abridged History of the 10th Age
One of the ancient Elder Races, the three that existed before the creation of the demi-humans or the arrival of Man, the Trolls have lived on the face of the world since before there was light. They worship Mother Night, a primordial force of darkness that has since been reduced in her might – the arrival of the stars signaled the long downslide of Mother Nights power; she is now banished during the day due to the Lamp of the Sun and weakened at night due to the Disc of the Moon.
Trolls find holes and caverns pleasant to live in, as they protect them from the cursed light of day. Indeed, many trolls dwell in the Underdark, but they are a fiercer and more horrid breed than those that live upon the surface.
