The trade talks between Canada and the European Union (EU), which began in 2009, finally ended on September 25, 2014 with an agreement in principle signed between Prime Minister Stephen Harper and José Manuel Barrosso, the EU Commission President. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) when implemented will remove 98% of trade tariffs between Canada and the EU, and is Canada’s biggest trade agreement since the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) of 1994. A joint Canada–EU study has concluded that CETA could boost Canada’s income by $12 billion annually. The agreement will allow increased market access to 500 million EU consumers; however, what does this mean for farmers in BC? And is this actually the final agreement?
For a start, tariffs on fresh and frozen fruit and vegetable exports into the EU will be eliminated—currently EU seasonal tariffs are as high as 12%, and are a real barrier for Canadian exporters. The Agri-food Trade Alliance predicts an increase of $300 million in exports of Canadian fruit and vegetables as a result of CETA. Tariffs on salmon and Pacific halibut will also be eliminated. BC’s agricultural exports to the EU were worth an average of $36.7 million between 2010 and 2012, and can be expected to grow significantly.
The tariff free quota for the export of beef into the EU will be raised by 50,000 metric tons (MT); bison meat by 3,000 MT; and pork producers will also gain an extra 80,000 MT of quota. There will also be greater access of Canadian cereals and animal feed into the EU.
However, CETA also opens up Canadian markets to competition from subsidized EU producers; and there is significant opposition from some in the farming sector, such as the NFU. Higher imports of EU cheese into Canada could threaten local artisan producers. There are also concerns about restrictions on the use of common cheese names such as gorgonzola and fontina. The agreement allows existing Canadian producers to continue to use such names; however new producers must use terms such as “gorgonzola-like”, or “fontina style”. This issue is also likely to be a feature of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations between the EU and the US. Where the US Dairy Export Council (USDEC) is likely to oppose any restrictions on what it sees as commonly accepted food product names.
It is also unclear as to the extent to which beef and pork producers will benefit from increased quotas. Canada currently does not fill its existing quota for EU beef imports, and exports very little pig meat there also. Exports into the EU must meet strict EU regulations; which, for example, ban meat from cattle treated with growth hormones, and the use of Ractopamine (Paylean) in pork production. To fill the increased quotas, Canadian livestock farmers may have to significantly change their production methods, and more processors will have to gain approval to export meat to the EU. However, this may also spur increased availability of “natural” beef products on the domestic market.
Despite faltering economies in Western Europe, there is still fast growth in some of the former Eastern Bloc countries. According to the latest IMF World Outlook report, economic growth in developing and emerging Europe in 2014 will be 2.7%, compared to 0.8% within the Eurozone, and the East is where the greatest opportunities are likely to be for Canadian exporters. The market remains underdeveloped in the new member countries compared to Western Europe. Based on FAO figures, fruit consumption per capita among the former Eastern Bloc members is only 60% of that in the EU-15—there is also growing demand for more processed and value added products.
CETA has been a long time in coming, and much work remains. This includes the ratification of the final text by 28 national parliaments, along with the European parliament. Likewise in Canada, full ratification will also require some legislation being passed in provincial parliaments, as well as the Federal Parliament. This will be no mean feat, as Germany in particular has expressed reservations about clauses relating to investment protection, and opposition remains from trade unions and agricultural groups on both sides. Opposition is focussed on provisions to open up procurement contracts by local governments to competition, and fears that this may undermine “buy local” policies across the EU and Canada.
It is likely to take at least until 2016 before the agreement is finally implemented, and modifications to the agreement signed in September are possible. Many Europeans see the deal as a template for the much larger Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations with the United States, and are therefore keen to ensure that their interests are protected within CETA.
The final outcome could see greater trade between the US, Canada and the EU—a holy grail for many of those who advocate trade liberalization—or EU-Canada trade talks could again end in failure. The continuing TTIP negotiations are also likely to be long and complicated, with many disagreements over issues such as beef from hormone treated cattle, GM crops and agricultural support. With Canada as a significant trade partner for the US and EU, the current CETA agreement is possibly not the final word, but a template for something much bigger.

Manila says UN tribunal meets on South China Sea
MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines says a United Nations arbitration tribunal has convened in The Hague to look into a case it lodged to question the legality of China’s massive territorial claims in the South China Sea.
Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Raul Hernandez told a news conference Tuesday that the five-member tribunal under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea convened last week in the Netherlands and approved a set of rules to look into the legal challenge the Philippines launched against Beijing in January.
The Philippines says that China’s claim over virtually the entire South China Sea, including its seizure of several islets and reefs, is illegal and violates UNCLOS, the 1982 U.N. convention which sets territorial limits for coastal states.

Advanced technology such as BIM, VR, and 3D printing is changing the field of architecture, from producing immersive visualization to streamlining communication.
Benefits of Implementing Technology
There are many advantages to tapping into advanced technology to strengthen and support architectural design. As technology continually develops, it allows us to think more creatively and bring those visions from one’s mind to the screen or into a 3D print. We are able to:
Easily communicate a vision: Whether you’re pitching your team, winning clients, or communicating with real estate gurus, it’s easier to help someone buy into your vision when you have true-to-life visualization at your aid. Clients and buyers can slip into a virtual reality headset and see building plans unfolding, or touch a 3D print of their new home. This interactive experience helps connect people to the finished product like never before.
Reduce project costs: Using technology such as virtual reality or 3D printing can help clients identify areas they’d like to change before construction starts. The earlier you identify these changes, the more convenient and cost-effective the process becomes for everybody involved.
Streamline collaboration: Technology advancements such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) helps everybody involved in a project stay on the same page at every step. Engineers, designers, and architects can use a BIM program to ensure their specific plans are in alignment before any cutting or welding takes place.
1. The Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to connecting traditionally “dumb things” to the internet. If you own a home, you might already have some technology connected to the IoT. For example, smart thermostats, video doorbells, and personal assistants like Alexa are already common in many homes. And now, IoT is driving trends across the whole design and construction ecosystem. Here’s how:
- Adding Sensors to Building Information Modeling (BIM)
BIM creates an intelligent 3D model of a building and streamlines all building plans. This allows all plans to update simultaneously, so nobody in the process will be left out. How does the IoT fit into this? Buildings can now have sensors to measure things such as energy usage, temperature trends, foot traffic and more. These sensors will collect data, and we can study this data alongside BIM plans to improve future buildings.
Notably, the ability to design architecture that moves and changes according to human habits and weather patterns is here. And with the Internet of Things, we can monitor our buildings that much more closely than before.
2. Virtual Reality
Virtual reality (VR) technology lets you put on a headset and immerse yourself in an alternate scenario. Commonly used to display video games and interactive short films, architects and designers can also use VR. At every stage of the process—from initial design concept to the building’s finishing touches—VR lends itself to a powerful architectural experience.
With just the press of a button and the darkness of a headset, everybody from project members to clients can explore the building in question, taking a closer look at floors, ceilings, and entire building designs to catch the vision. Not only does this spark interest in the project more than a classic 2D image could, but it also gives plenty of room to request changes or suggest alterations before the project starts.
In exchange for relatively low start-up costs, VR can give you a competitive edge, allow for real-time changes, and reap the rewards of an impressed client.
3. 3D Printing
Architects and designers use 3D printing to efficiently create a physical model to showcase and work with. Using a CAD program and a 3D printer, you’ll save the labor and time involved in creating a model by hand. Thanks to advanced printing technology, these models are high-quality and you can customize them in a range of materials and colors.
3D printing also allows for quick fixes. If a client or team member has any edits after reviewing, all you have to do is make the necessary changes using programming software and re-print an updated model.
Are You Ready for Technology’s Impact on Architecture?
Of course, while technology in architecture will have a major impact, many of the foundations of this great profession will not change.
Feel free to contact us if you would like to explore technology options on your next project.

The morning after it became clear that his healthcare bill could not pass the Senate, President Trump took to Twitter to vow “we will return.” That would be unwise. Polling data shows that the GOP healthcare effort was the least popular bill put forward in three decades. The collapse of the repeal and replace effort on healthcare leaves the President with no major legislative victories despite having unified GOP control over the executive branch and both houses of Congress. Worse, the presidency is embroiled in an ever-worsening Russian entanglement story, the latest revelation being that contrary to prior denials of any campaign contacts, his son, son-in-law, and campaign manager took a meeting intending to get Russian intelligence that had been put together as part of a Russian government effort to help the Trump campaign.
With high profile legislative flops and nonstop devastating news cycles about Russian entanglements, the presidency is foundering. In need of something big to change the narrative, there’s one opportunity that would confound critics and put a major victory on the board with a “Nixon goes to China” moment for President Trump: Immigration Reform.
Despite his usual heated rhetoric and the enforcement-only approach up to this point, President Trump has at times signaled openness to the legalization of nonviolent undocumented immigrants. As recently as February 2017, he reportedly told senators that they should revive their efforts at the 2013 immigration reform bill that passed the Senate and died in the House. And though his support for immigration reform would undoubtedly upset some of his core supporters, he could point to his enforcement efforts leading to a 17 year low in illegal border crossings. The border being as secure as it has been in decades, he could explain that it is time to fix the immigration system his press office has conceded is “broken” and in need of “massive reform.” The President’s unexpected and active support of a bill that would provide increased resources for the border, legalize nonviolent undocumented immigrants, provide a path to citizenship for DREAMers, and require mandatory use of E-verify by employers to stop future unauthorized work would propel it through both houses with broad bipartisan support. What he loses by upsetting some of his base will be more than compensated by the changed narrative and for the accomplishment that eluded both George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
The Trump presidency is in danger and he needs a game changer. Immigration reform presents the biggest and most attainable “win” for him and also happens to be something the country has needed for decades.

Won't go back, would not recommend, don't go to her..., Apr 25, 2013
Office was dirty. Entrance to office difficult to find. Poor review of medical history and poor physical exam. Difficulty in getting prescription refill. Doctor took 3 phone calls and left the exam room twice during visit.
Would not recommend.
AMAZING, considerate, compassionate, caring, knowledgeable, 10 out of 10!!..., Mar 22, 2013
I went to Dr. F for my 2nd baby. He was so caring and considerate. He did not make me feel bad asking questions and did not act like he expected me to know everything. He helped me get out of a bad situation to focus on my growing baby. Dr. Fellenbaum noticed that my son was getting big by ultrasound and started monitoring me more closely. I started dilating early, but never went in to labor on my own as I did with my first. When I was dilated to 4 for a week we opted to induce. The hospital was understaffed when I arrived for my induction, and he made sure that the hospital knew it was unacceptable to leave his patients laboring while unsupervised. He did a great job on my son's circumcision and got us home as soon as possible (26 hours after delivery to be exact!), which I was very thankful for! He is a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable doctor!!!
Very Dangerous please do a background check on this person before getting worse..., Mar 2, 2013
ery dangerous!! Always do some checking before seeing a doctor nowadays, me and my brother were looking for a spine doctor for our mother, we almost went to this doctor who had a very bad past with his reputation,we did some searching on the internet and found out he was part of a history called Microspinehurtme doctor, and now alot of patients from there have formed a website drtonymorkfacts.com, we learned he has lied about his past,stolen money from patients, lies about what his does ect..., we just wanted to let you know we found a better place at the LSI institute we did a consultation there and learned alot also, Dr. Mork has been claiming to invent his own tools when he was originally a doctor at the Bonati Back institute where he was fired from there also for hurting people too, there are far many more doctors better then him be very careful choosing the right doctor we were very lucky.
The Best Plastic Surgeon in Houston, TX Thank you so MUCH!!!!..., Jan 11, 2013
Thank You for so much of your time and care. . I am a thirty seven year old, professional woman and I feared of looking like a clown. Your reassurance and surgical touch made it worth it. You picked the excellent size and shape for my body structure, THANK YOU! You also got rid of that “12 year old” look I had. My breasts have never looked more natural, healthy and just down right pretty. You can’t imagine what that has done for my self-esteem. Thank you for being a wonderful surgeon and changing my life!
Extremely rude, arrogant and uncaring. I would not recommend her to anyone...., Dec 20, 2012
Dr. Kubica is not only rude and uncaring, she is very rough when doing exams. A complete physical with her lasts a couple minutes with her barely examining the patient and not knowing the patient's history at all even if you are have been a patient for years. She is cold and distant and will not listen to questions much less answer any questions. She walks out of the room while the patient is still talking and asking questions. I would not recommend her to anyone. She is completely uninterested in her patient and actually had the worst bedside manners I have every experienced. Very poor Doctor.

The Montells (Long Island, N.Y)
1963 - A Rang A Lang Lang / Soldier Boy, I’m Sorry (Golden Crest 582)
1964 - My Prince Will Come / Gee Baby, What About You? (Golden Crest 585)
In 1962-63 the Montells, students at Roosevelt Junior-High School in Long Island, N.Y., were founded. The group consisted of Mary Parsons, Sheron Regular and Antoinette Robinson, and sang in church and school choirs, also at glee clubs. Soon Antoinette left to be replaced by Edythe Flemings and Mary’s sister Charlotte.
The Montells performed at dances and sock hops as well as other school functions and events around Long Island. Their main influences were the Shirelles and the Chantels.
One day Sheron was scanning the newspapers and came across an advertisement for “black female singers.” After calling the number, they were soon in touch with Charles Podell and Golden Crest Records of Huntington Station, N.Y. Thus the Montells were on the map for two singles.

The fourth installment of The Phoenix’s monthly playlist picks — a series of articles where Phoenix editors make Spotify playlists of the best new music each month and then select some of their favorites to write about — focuses on November’s new releases.
This playlist jumps between the heights of pop in Megan Thee Stallion’s debut and the depths of metal with System of a Down’s meaningful reunion alongside Miley Cyrus’ seventh studio album and more.
System of a Down – “Promised Land/Genocidal Humanoidz”
Alternative metal band System of a Down reunited briefly to release two new songs, “Protect the Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz,” their first new songs in 15 years.
The group said it was to raise awareness of the conflict going on between their ancestral homeland of Armenia and Azerbaijan, with all proceeds going to the Armenia Fund to provide relief for the people who have been displaced by the fighting.
The two songs perfectly encapsulate the band’s range in different ways, with “Protect the Land” connecting to their softer side while retaining an edge. “Genocidal Humanoidz,” on the other hand, represents the more frantic sound of their early days, more similar to the song “Soil” from their 1998 self-titled album.
Despite the release getting fans’ hopes up, in an interview with NME, guitarist Daron Malakian said not to expect anything else new from them, citing internal conflict.
Megan Thee Stallion – “Good News”
In her debut album, Megan Thee Stallion utilizes fun beats to back her confident, straightforward rapping. The record opens with a diss track aimed at Tory Lanez, who’s facing felony charges for assault with a semiautomatic firearm, which line up with allegations made by Megan Thee Stallion in July that he shot her.
Her style choices make the album feel lighter, though she traverses many of the hardships she faced in the last year throughout the album, giving the lyrics a heavier tone in some cases.
“Bullet wounds, backstabs, mama died, still sad / At war with myself, in my head, bitch, it’s Baghdad” she raps on “Circles.”
While the album isn’t revolutionary, it doesn’t need to be. Her credence in herself and her style — which created her hit song “Savage” and netted the artist three Grammy nominations — is palpable and makes her debut all that more impressive.
Miley Cyrus – “Plastic Hearts”
After working on an album for two years — and then abruptly having to start over when her house burned down — Miley Cyrus has finally released her seventh album. A cover of Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” was joined by lead singles “Midnight Sky” and “Prisoner” to build hype for the 12 new tracks.
Pairing with impressive instrumentals, Cyrus’ intense vocals help to blur the genre lines of the album. The drums on “Gimme What I Want” are reminiscent of those in Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight,” furthering the album’s ‘80s vibe, which it successfully achieves throughout — complete with features from Joan Jett and Billy Idol.
Despite most of the tracks being relatively homogenous sonically, none of them ever feel stale or too similar. Ballads like “Angels Like You” and “High” help to break up the track list and display Cyrus’ range, though her cover of The Cranberries’ “Zombie” — which is also featured on the album — is still one of the better displays of her vocal talent.
Smashing Pumpkins – “CYR”
Former Edgewater resident James Iha’s band recently released their 10th studio album, which boasts 20 songs. The double album clocks in at an hour and 12 minutes — quite a leap of faith for the band given their new style — though it’s backed up well by the group’s confident performances.
The departure from their classic sound was smoothed out by the synth-heavy soundscapes and crisp percussion throughout the album. Some instrumentals, such as those on “Wyttch,” are reminiscent of the Pumpkins’ heavier days without being an attempt to note-for-note recreate their past.
While the length can be a hurdle to new listeners, returning fans are already used to the group’s lengthy releases — “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness,” one of their more popular releases, was also a double album. Though “CYR” doesn’t quite live up to the 1995 release, it’s a solid rebirth of a band that seemed to have reached its end long before now.

Tigers in talks for Cresswell
By James Pearson
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Hull have confirmed they are in talks to sign Leeds United striker Richard Cresswell.Hull City have confirmed they are in talks to sign Leeds United striker Richard Cresswell, after failing in a move for Ipswich's Alan Lee.
The Tigers have turned their attention to the Whites hit-man after seeing two bids for Lee rejected by the Suffolk outfit.
Hull have confirmed they are talking to Leeds, but are unsure how long negotiations will take due to the on-going saga involving the fallen West Yorkshire giants.
"We are talking to Leeds about Richard but, at the current time, there are implications when negotiating for any of Leeds' players," chairman Phil Duffen told the Yorkshire Post.
"Cresswell is a quality player and just the sort we would be interested in, especially as it seems the Lee deal is off."
Leeds have confirmed Hull's interest in the striker, but also revealed two other Championship clubs are vying for Cresswell's services.
"The club can confirm three Championship clubs have made enquiries about striker Richard Cresswell," read a statement on the club's official website.
Meanwhile, Leeds assistant manager Guy Poyet is hoping Leeds can bolster their numbers soon as they do not have a recognised goalkeeper.
Youngster Jonny Lund is The Whites' only professional as the club cannot push through deals with Casper Ankergren, whom the club had on loan last season, and Scott Loach.
"I hope we can sign someone - if not I'm not sure who will play in goal," stated Poyet.
"Of course, you want to have your players attached to the club. You need to know he is going to play so you can train him and the back four together."

Luxury car manufacturer Lamborghini has entered the realm of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with the unveiling of a space-themed artwork dubbed the Lamborghini Space Key.
The exclusive project is centered around a 3D printed carbon fiber block that Lamborghini sent to the International Space Station (ISS) back in 2019 as part of a joint research project. Since returning to Earth, the piece has formed the basis of the Space Key, linked to an exclusive and purely digital artwork by an undisclosed artist.
Just five Space Keys, each linked to an exclusive space-themed NFT, have been created and will be officially revealed and auctioned in the next few weeks.
“Innovation is a deeply rooted part of the Lamborghini DNA,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman, and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “As a leading company for carbon fiber composite materials within the automotive sector we pushed boundaries two and a half years ago with the joint research project in space. Now entering the metaverse is gain proof of Lamborghini always setting sail for new horizons.
“The NFT world has been calling to us, and we are excited about engaging with this very passionate and innovative community.”
3D printing at Lamborghini
Lamborghini has leveraged 3D printing technology for commercial purposes with its supercars for some time, first starting with Stratasys’ FDM technology to produce end-use parts for some of its non-critical components.
The firm went on to sign a deal with 3D printer OEM Carbon in 2019 to 3D print parts for its Urus Super SUVs, namely textured fuel caps and air duct clip components. Later that year, Lamborghini and Carbon expanded their partnership to 3D print the central and lateral dashboard air vents for the car manufacturer’s first hybrid production car, the Sián FKP 37.
During the pandemic, Lamborghini also played its part in aiding Italy’s Covid-19 response by re-directing its in-house 3D printing facilities to manufacture medical equipment, such as lung simulators.
Entering the Metaverse
For its latest 3D printing-related project, Lamborghini has entered the realm of NFTs to create an exclusive and purely digital space-themed artwork.
NFTs are unique identifiers recorded on a distributed blockchain ledger and tied to a digital asset such as a picture, video, or music. Each NFT token is completely unique, so owners can guarantee the authenticity, scarcity, and trackability of their assets.
Supported by white-label NFT specialist NFTPro, Lamborghini will officially reveal the nature of its first NFT in the next few weeks, as well as the name of the artist. The date and time of the auction, as well as the auction house and registration, will also be revealed in due course.
The space-faring 3D printed carbon fiber piece that forms the physical element of the Space Key features a QR code on its back linked to the digital artwork. After undergoing tests and fulfilling its research purposes on the ISS, the carbon fiber piece was flown back to Earth to become the physical anchor for Lamborghini’s first-ever NFT project. Just five Space Keys have been created as part of the project, each linking to an exclusive artwork by the same as of yet undisclosed artist.
“I’ve been truly intrigued by the blockchain and all possibilities that this technology offers,” Tim Bravo, Head of Communications at Lamborghini, said in a LinkedIn post. “True, cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens are by far the most popular and at the same time maybe the least remarkable applications of the blockchain.
“However, I believe that their popularity pushes the door open for all those non-speculative, complex applications that will help improve our lives, and even our society.”

For Crying Out Loud
Frontiers Music Srl is proud to present the debut album from SHIRAZ LANE, entitled “For Crying Out Loud”, which will be released on April 15, 2016.
Formed in 2011, Shiraz Lane is a young, energetic, ambitious, authentic hard rock group from Vantaa, Finland. Although wearing inspiration from big masters like Aerosmith, SKID ROW and Guns N' Roses on their sleeves, the band has a sound and style all their own. Members of some of the biggest bands in Scandinavia - The 69 Eyes, Amorphis, Children Of Bodom, Lordi and Sonic Syndicate among others - have all described Shiraz Lane as being one of the most entertaining bands they have ever seen in the underground music scene, bringing something new to the table in terms of both music and live performance! Notwithstanding their young age (the band members are all in their 20’s), the guys are already veterans of the underground circuit in their homeland and have developed a reputation for being uncompromising, loud and genuine.
“We started working on our debut album in mid-August 2015 after receiving confirmation about details and deadlines from Frontiers Music Srl” says guitarist Miki Kalske. “We were actually extremely busy at the time since we did an extensive Finnish tour in September, so the Shiraz factory was working pretty much around the clock. In retrospect it was good to have a tight agenda, since the songs came out very naturally and with a steady pace. After we felt confident enough with the songs, we joined forces with our producer Ben Varon and analyzed them meticulously, re-arranged parts, rehearsed, re-rehearsed etc. Before hitting the studio to lay down the final tracks.”
On the final result, “For Crying Out Loud”, the band shows they have learned all the tricks in the book and they’re now ready to take on the world.
“The album is not conceptual, but it is definitely a tight knitted package so that every song has its own natural place in the running order” continues Kalske. “All in all the record turned out to be an ass-kicking Hard Rock gem with a large scope of different emotions and feelings included. Variety would be a good key word to describe the album throughout, although bowing down to our own sound and style. An important notion would be to listen to the lyrics and message we are trying to send to the listeners out there – we don't wan't to preach, but if our music can act as an eye-opener on some level and send positive vibrations out to the world during these darker times, I would say we have done something right!”

The Photo Staff Survival Guide
Molly Zwiebel '13
I'm Praying That You Don't Even Need This
- Using your camera
- Using your mind
Always Choose a Manual Exposure Mode or Semi Manual Exposure Mode
P (programmed autoexposure): The camera selects the aperture and shutter speed necessary to ensure a good exposure. But you can choose from different combinations of the two to vary the creative results.
S (shutter-priority autoexposure): You select the shutter speed, and the camera selects the proper aperture to properly expose the image. This mode is ideal for capturing sports or other moving subjects because it gives you direct control over shutter speed.
- A (aperture-priority autoexposure): In this mode, you choose the aperture, and the camera automatically chooses a shutter speed to properly expose the image.
- Manual: In this mode, represented by the letter M on the Mode dial, you select both the aperture and shutter speed. But the camera still offers an assist by displaying an exposure meter to help you dial in the right settings.
- Always be innovative - just because this is photojournalism, doesn't mean you need to be boring. No Excuses.
- Try different angles, positions, and play with lighting to dramatize a photo.
- Be different and brave.
Leadership and Organization
Here's some tips for both:
- maintain a workflow
- keep up with your portfolio
- keep rules for the server
- hold meetings weekly - biweekly
- communication is key

Two new sets of regulations concerning storage of chemicals and reporting energy usage will impact the way companies like AffinEco do business. In the short-term, there will be added cost, effort and paperwork. The long-term goals of the regulations are to make companies more environmentally clean, safer and perhaps even save money along the way.
In December 2013, new Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) regulations will go into effect, prompting a change not only in the way workers report what chemicals are on-site, but also what safety requirements are in place for dealing with those chemicals. That means AffinEco Safety Coordinator Hytmer Hernandez has less than six months to get his workers trained in new systems.
Currently, there is no consistency in the way different countries treat chemical regulation. The Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which accompany chemicals in the workplace, vary from country to country. The new Globally Harmonized System for Chemical Information and Labeling (GHS) is a worldwide effort to bring countries into a standard practice of safe chemical identification.
“Right now, the U.S., Canada, South America—everyone is doing their own thing,” said Hernandez, who recently took a Web seminar on the upcoming changes. “The GHS is a global approach to labeling in a universal system. Everywhere in the world, the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) will be the same.”
But it’s more than just a name change from MSDS to SDS.
The new regulations require more extensive identification, additional details on how to handle an emergency with the chemicals and changes to the grading scale for determining how dangerous a specific substance may be. Hernandez chuckled as he explained that the old hazard danger was labeled from 0 (least dangerous) to 4 (severe). The new regulations change the scale to 1-5 with 1 being the most dangerous—a complete flip-flop from what is currently used.
The SDS will be required to be on-site and readily available to employees and emergency personnel. Information will include safety procedures for handling the chemicals, physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point), toxicity, reactivity, safe storage and other information to promote positive product stewardship.
“It’s a big step for the U.S., but it’s not going to be easy,” Hernandez said. “We can hardly understand this (system), and now it will be even harder. But I see what they’re trying to do, bring the whole world into one system. That’s the intent, to keep employees safe by protecting and instructing the user.”
Many companies with heavy business in chemicals are already trying to get ahead of the new regulations. AffinEco gets some of its cleaning products from Grainger Inc. On its website, Grainger has made all of its Safety Data Sheets easy to find and access.
But there are some grey areas still to be worked out. Who is responsible for producing the SDS? The manufacturer? The middleman? The user? What about training for workers?
“We’re a green company, so we don’t use most of the toxic stuff,” Hernandez said. “And most likely we’ll have the SDS sheets (from the manufacturers). It’s all going to be very hard. We have to learn a new language and come up with materials and training.”
Reporting Energy Usage
In February, Boston joined New York City, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and San Francisco as major U.S. cities requiring residential and commercial properties to report energy and water usage. Building owners are wary because producing such specific data could be costly, entail additional red tape and end up forcing extensive improvements leading to higher rents.
In an interview with the Boston Globe, Gregory Vasil, Chief Executive of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board, said, “Everyone wants to be first in the nation in environmental efficiency, but before we’re the lemming falling off the cliff, we have to ask, ‘What does this really do? Is there an actual benefit?’”
Building owners in Boston will also responsible for providing annual greenhouse gas emission numbers.
New York City became the first in the nation to release private-sector building energy information when it posted results from 2,065 large commercial properties in 2011. In both New York and Boston, the reporting plan is executed in stages—with the biggest office and apartment buildings first, followed by smaller buildings.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, residential and commercial buildings account for “41% of all energy consumption and 72% of electricity consumption.” The Institute for Market Transformation (IMT), an energy-efficiency non-profit, attributes 75% of NYC’s total emissions to energy use in buildings.
New York City is in its fourth year collecting data for its “Greener, Greater Buildings Plan” and benchmark numbers already gathered have shown “energy-use intensity varies dramatically among the same types of buildings, with the worst-performing buildings using three to five times the amount of energy per square foot as the best. Consequently, there is the potential to save tremendous amounts of energy by improving the efficiency of the poor performers,” according to IMT.


We asked Naomi Foyle, author of Seoul Survivors, had she always dreamed of becoming a writer and, if so, has it turned out how she imagined it?
As a child I wanted to be an actress, a lawyer or a foreign correspondent. I was always a bookworm, though, and my late mother Brenda Riches, a poet and short story writer, encouraged me to write. Possibly her success intimidated me; in any case it wasn’t until I left home for university in Toronto that I started writing, producing short stories, prose-poetry, a still-unpublished experimental novel, and a libretto for a chamber opera, Hush, that was produced at Theatre Passe Muraille and won several awards. This early success gave me the confidence to decide I was now definitely a writer.
I remember dreaming of a life of adventure – I would travel the world, write about the places I’d seen, give readings, and meet interesting people doing passionate, revolutionary things. It all worked out pretty much like that, usually on a shoestring, and has even incorporated my earlier ambitions. I’ve done performance poetry and travel journalism, and my political activism for Palestine is grounded in international law. Though I thought I would publish a novel a lot earlier than I did, ultimately everything has unfolded in good time. In my twenties I thought I was a genius, of course, but in fact I needed to work on craft and going back to university for postgraduate degrees as a mature student really helped me refine my technical skills. I didn’t think I’d end up teaching at a university like my parents, but actually I enjoy it. A little bit of humility is not a bad thing in a writer – or any one!


The DirectStorage API SDK is now available to developers on Windows. Apparently, support for this gaming technology has begun to be implemented in some PCs.
On the occasion of the Game Developers Conference (GDC 2022), the game was first demonstrated using DirectStorage. The results are more than positive as the gains in loading times are promising.
Windows 10 and Windows 11, DirectStorage API arrives to boost gaming performance
Luminous Productions’ forespoken, formerly known as Project Athiya, takes advantage of this feature and the numbers are impressive. Some loading scenes were shown in a demo.
The promise of DirectStorage looks great even with the classic 2.5-inch SATA SSD. However, the biggest gains have been recorded with an NVMe SSD.
DirectStorage vs Win32, speed is exploding.
During the same presentation, a graph was also proposed showing the I/O flow on the one hand and the associated loading times on the other. The comparison is made with the Windows Win 32 Storage API.
NVMe with 70% is the biggest advantage for SSDs. We have a throughput of 4829 MB/s with DirectStorage, compared to 2862 MB/s with Win32. The time savings do not apply directly to the actual loading times, but the difference between the two APIs is just as significant.
here’s the forspoken video
Note that the title also benefits from other technologies such as AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 2.0. This support is still under development.

Community Bridges is an independent, secular organisation. We are an incorporated association and registered not-for-profit organisation with tax deductible status.
We do not charge for our services.
We are run entirely by volunteers and we work with in mates before they exit the Correctional System.
What Do We Do?
- Work with inmates who are exiting the Correctional System because research indicates that when support is available, the likelihood of re-offending is lessened.
- Work in the Correctional Centres with those who are preparing to be released from the Centre to establish rapport between the inmate and the Support Worker.
- Aim to assess the post-release needs of inmates and to establish a comfortable working relationship with the inmate.
- Endeavour to provide strategies for the ex-inmate on how to cope with the stressors that inhibits his/her being a productive member of the community.
- Provide initial and on-going training to its volunteers and conduct regular meetings to maintain professional standards for Support Workers.
In 1991, a service to assist inmates exiting detention was commenced by a small number of interested persons under the name Jordan House Association. As the need for this service grew, a pilot program, the Prisoner Support Service, for 30 clients, was auspiced by Sherwood Uniting Church under its outreach umbrella through funds granted by the Uniting Church Foundation.
In 1994, Jordan House Association became incorporated as a tax deductible, community based organisation of volunteers dedicated to the assistance of inmates and their families with their reintegration into the community. The service was co-ordinated gratis by Esteem Consulting, a small organisation that provided a range of programs in the area of substance misuse.
In July 2006, the service changed its name to Community Bridges Inc. with the motto: “building bridges, changing lives”, to better represent its intention of assisting reintegration into the community. It has continued to operate using dedicated and trained volunteers. The organisation has continued to work as being recognised as a major voluntary service provider to assist inmates and those previously incarcerated.

Journey Through The Vineyards of Argentina
In the heart of South America, a journey through the vineyards of Argentina offers an invigorating sensory exploration, where sight, smell, and taste coalesce to form an unforgettable experience. Uncover the magic of Argentina's winemaking regions, their unique terroir, and the precious elixir that results from it: the wine. Each vineyard tells a unique story - of tradition, of innovation, of passion, and of the indomitable spirit of the Argentinian people. You are invited to immerse yourself in Argentina's thriving wine culture, to sip and savour, and to unlock the secrets of these vast vineyards that punctuate the stunning Argentinian landscape.
Discovering the Diversity of Argentinian Vineyards
The diversity of Argentinian vineyards is a testament to the country's vast geographical and climatic variations. From the lofty terrains of the Andean foothills to the breezy expanses of the Atlantic coast, each region offers a unique terroir that significantly influences wine production.
The concept of terroir, the unique combination of factors including soil, climate, and sunlight that affects the growth of grapes, is fundamental in understanding the excellence of Argentinian wines. The Andean foothills, for example, are home to vineyards situated at high altitudes. The higher elevation brings cooler temperatures and intense sunlight, which combined with the mineral-rich soils, results in wines with a distinct character and complexity.
On the other hand, vineyards along the Atlantic coast benefit from the cooling ocean breezes and the unique coastal soils, contributing to the fresh and vibrant taste of the wines produced in this region. With each varietal expressing the terroir's characteristics, the wines from these regions are remarkably distinct.
In Argentina, the varietal plays a pivotal role in shaping the wine's profile. For instance, Malbec, the country's flagship varietal, thrives in the soils of Mendoza and produces robust, fruit-forward wines. In contrast, Torrontes, another prominent varietal, flourishes in the Salta region, yielding aromatic wines with crisp acidity.
In essence, the diversity of Argentinian vineyards not only adds to the richness and variety of its wine production but also underlines the significant role of terroir and varietal in defining the wines' uniqueness.

Over time, these techniques have evolved, adapting and innovating in response to changing climate conditions and technological advancements. Yet, the essence of traditional practices remains, providing a firm foundation for the continued development of Argentina's wine industry.
The vast and varied terrain of Argentina, ranging from the high altitude vineyards of Mendoza to the coastal regions of Patagonia, plays a pivotal role in shaping the wine tradition of the country. The interplay of altitude, climate, and soil creates a unique terroir for each region, resulting in a diverse array of wines that capture the essence of Argentina's wine history.
In tandem with the natural gifts bestowed upon the Argentinian vineyards, the winemaking techniques employed have played a significant role in the wine evolution of the country. From hand-picking grapes to experimenting with fermentation and aging processes, Argentinian winemakers have expertly harnessed modern technology without losing sight of their traditional roots, resulting in wines of exceptional quality and character.
In summary, the Argentinian wine heritage is a remarkable blend of deep-rooted tradition and innovative winemaking techniques. As we journey through the vineyards of Argentina, we are not just exploring the country's wine history, but also witnessing a testament to the enduring spirit of Argentinian winemakers and their unwavering commitment to excellence.
The Wine Varietals of Argentina
Argentina, a country renowned for its illustrious oenology, boasts a selection of distinct and tantalizing wine varietals. Among these, Malbec and Torrontés are arguably the most recognized and celebrated. The Argentinian Malbec, often characterized by its deep colour and intense fruity flavours, presents a rich, robust profile with hints of blackberry, plum, and black cherry. The uniqueness of this wine varietal extends to its food pairings, with Malbec being a perfect match for red meats and hearty dishes.
Moving on to Torrontés, this Argentinian wine varietal exhibits a markedly different character. Known for its aromatic bouquet, Torrontés offers a seductive blend of rose petals, peach, and lemon zest. Its mild acidity and exotic flavour profiles make it an ideal companion for spicy Asian cuisine, seafood, and fresh salads. The contrast between Malbec and Torrontés is a testament to the diversity and richness of Argentinian wine varietals.
The intricate flavour profiles and versatile food pairings of these wines not only make them an indispensable part of any wine enthusiast's collection but also serve as an exciting exploration of Argentina's wine landscape.
Sustainable Winemaking Practices in Argentinian Vineyards
The Argentinian wine industry is taking significant strides towards "sustainable winemaking". This shift in viticulture strategy is not only environmentally-friendly but also plays a pivotal role in enhancing "wine quality". It is becoming increasingly clear that a healthy vineyard ecosystem is foundational to the production of world-class wines. A symbiotic relationship exists between the earth and the vine; the healthier the earth, the higher the quality of grapes it produces.
Argentinian vineyards are adopting various sustainable practices, such as minimizing water usage, reducing chemical inputs, and encouraging biodiversity. These techniques are paramount in preserving the unique attributes of their terroir, and in turn, the distinctive character of their wines. This approach is not merely eco-conscious, but it also enhances the longevity and resilience of the vineyards.
These sustainable practices are shaping the "future of winemaking" in Argentina. They are a testament to the fact that the "Argentinian wine industry" is not only committed to producing exceptional wines but also to ensuring the health of their vineyards for generations to come. The shift towards sustainable viticulture is, thus, a move towards a more balanced ecosystem, higher quality wines, and a resilient wine industry.
Visiting Argentinian Vineyards: An Unforgettable Experience
Embarking on the journey of visiting Argentinian vineyards offers an unparalleled, unforgettable experience that goes beyond mere wine tasting. The adventure kicks off with immersive wine tasting sessions that allow you to sample the rich and varied palette of Argentinian wines. These sessions are not just informative, but also a feast for your senses, enabling you to appreciate the subtle notes and exquisite flavours that make each wine unique.
Moreover, vineyard tours present an opportunity to delve deeper into the world of wine production. Walking through the lush vine rows, observing the wine-making process from grape to bottle, and understanding the intricacies of viticulture and vinification, adds a new dimension to your appreciation of wine.
The local hospitality is yet another aspect that makes your visit to these vineyards memorable. The locals, with their warm smiles and generous spirits, go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and at home. They are eager to share their knowledge and their stories, immersing you in their culture and their passion for wine.
Each vineyard in Argentina has its own unique charm, be it in their architectural design, their scenic location, or their historical significance. The diversity among these vineyards ensures that every visit offers a fresh perspective, a new story, and a different taste.
In essence, the concept of wine tourism in Argentina is much more than just wine tasting or vineyard tours. It is about immersing oneself in the local culture, savouring the hospitality, appreciating the unique charm of each vineyard, and above all, celebrating the spirit of Argentinian wines.


text: The molecular genetic basis of N-acetylation polymorphism has been investigated in inbred mouse models of the human acetylation polymorphism. Two genomic clones, Nat1 and Nat2, were isolated from a C57BL/6J (B6) mouse (rapid acetylator) genomic library. The Nat1 and Nat2 genes both have intronless coding regions of 870 nucleotides and display greater than 47% deduced amino acid similarity with human, rabbit, and chicken N-acetyltransferases. Amplification of Nat1 and Nat2 from A/J (A) mouse (slow acetylator) genomic DNA by the polymerase chain reaction and subsequent sequencing revealed that Nat1 was identical in B6 and A mice, whereas Nat2 contained a single nucleotide change from adenine in B6 to thymine in A mice. This nucleotide substitution changes the deduced amino acid at position 99 from asparagine in B6 to isoleucine in A mice. Hydropathy analysis revealed that this amino acid change alters the hydropathy of the flanking peptide segment in NAT2 from hydrophilic in the B6 mouse to hydrophobic in the A mouse. The amino acid change occurs in a region of the gene where no polymorphism has yet been reported in human or rabbit NAT2 and may represent an important structural domain for N-acetyltransferase activity. Nat1 and Nat2 have the same 5' to 3' orientation in the B6 mouse; the two genes are separated by approximately 9 kilobases, with Nat1 located 5' of Nat2.

I was great at my job. I loved it. “There’s something very primal about it, something that you dream about since you were a little boy. You know, shooting and blowing stuff up.” Droste, who came to Canada in March, hasn’t become an overnight pacifist though. Sometimes war is still necessary, he said. “If it wasn’t a war for oil. If it wasn’t political and about one man’s agenda, then I would have considered fighting.” The non-commissioned officer had completed almost all of a four-year commitment when his service was extended another four years under the U.S. “stop-loss” policy. He had been told about the possibility, but it was only supposed to happen if the Third World War broke out, he said.Read the full article here.

Perhaps it was banned by religious forces claiming it was the work of the devil -- or a scientific threat to religion. More likely there was a huge patent dispute which completely halted the Progress of Science and useful Arts :-)
Drones are, in essence, flying autonomous vehicles. Pros and cons surrounding drones today might well foreshadow the debate over the development of self-driving cars. In the context of a strongly regulated aviation industry, "self-flying" drones pose a fresh challenge. How safe is it to fly drones in different environments? Should drones be required for visual line of sight – as are piloted airplanes? Join EE Times' Junko Yoshida as she moderates a panel of drone experts.

This week’s SCRAPPY SATURDAY project is a no-sew one. Actually, this one doesn’t even use fabric (although you could), but I really wanted to share it with you because it is simple, fun and offers endless possibilities for your picture displays!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
> Picture Frame with mat (I picked mine up at Ikea)
> Decorative Paper (I used scrapbooking paper)
> Glue or spray adhesive
> Sharp knifer (exacto or box cutter)
> Straight Edge
1. Take the mat out of the frame and lay it on top of your decorative paper
2. Trace the outside of the mat with a pencil
3. Using your straight edge, cut along your markings
4. Place the mat back on the cut piece of paper and trace the inside box (where the picture would go) with your pencil.
5. Using your straight edge, carefully cut this piece out, taking care to not cut past the corners
6. Check to make sure that the paper fits the mat perfectly
7. Glue the paper to the mat and place it back in the frame
8. Place your picture in the frame and hang!
Please ignore the ugly pipe! I am still trying to figure out a good way to creatively camouflage that! Ugly pipes are a challenge in basements of old houses. I wish I could just cover it up but it is a steam heat pipe and whatever I use needs to heat resistant.
I’m open to ideas!
Enjoy the project!

The new Beijing Capital Museum, which is designed to serve as one of the flagship buildings in the Chinese capital, features a gallery that looks almost accidental. The "Treasure Gallery", as architecture firm AREP calls it, is situated within the main, north-facing facade, and it looks as though the massive bronze volume has been embedded within the building itself, like a calcified relic from an earlier era.
As a whole, the Beijing Capital Museum measures 60,000 square meters, making it an imposing presence in the center of the city. That said, the Treasure Gallery takes up 7,000 square meters inside, and standing more than 10 storeys tall, the bronze cylinder is hugely breathtaking from both inside and out.

A Suffolk music festival which was set to feature the Kaiser Chiefs and Jake Bugg has been cancelled due to rising operational costs. At Ease Festival was due to take place in Euston Park near Bury St Edmunds between August 26 and 28, but a statement released on its website last week confirmed that the event will not take place.
The new festival was set to raise funds for two charities - My Black Dog and Sporting Force - until its shock cancellation was confirmed. In a statement on the festival's website, organisers announced that the three-day event would no longer be doing ahead "with great sadness".
The statement went on to say: "This year has provided an incredibly challenging landscape for us to build our vision. The exponential rise of utility and production costs coupled with a significant slump in the festival market across the board has proved to be too difficult of a foundation for our event to develop.
"Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused. SEE Tickets will be in contact with all ticket holders directly to confirm a refund."

Scientific and environmental policy
Assessing and Strengthening the Science and EU Environment Policy Interface
Client : European Commission / DG Environment
Scientific evidence underpins EU environment policy. The links between science and policy can be complex: scientific research and policy making operate in separate spheres, following different methods and objectives. An effective interface is needed, however, to identify and address environmental problems effectiveness.
Within the European Commission, DG Environment has identified the need to strengthen its interface with the scientific world. Currently, the DG uses a range of independent, ad hoc approaches to acquire scientific evidence for each policy topic it addresses. Moreover, a systematic approach for cross-cutting and emerging issues is not in place.
Milieu (with partner Collingwood Environmental Planning) is supporting DG Environment in exploring options for a stronger framework for the interface between science and EU environmental policy.
The work is being carried out through a series of tasks:
1. a review of how the science into environmental policy interface works today within DG Environment, through a review of 10 policy areas;
2. the identification of science/policy interfaces, methods and practices in Member States, third countries and also at UN level, for a “long list” of examples;
3. in-depth reviews of a dozen interfaces outside the European Commission, to analyse their strengths and weaknesses and possible lessons for EU level;
4. a workshop of practitioners from both the science and policy side to discuss how to strengthen the EU science into environmental policy interface;
5. the information gathered and analysed will be considered in preparing recommendations for further EU action.

Side A: Hanford Village was founded in the early 1900s just east of Columbus proper with its own mayor, police force, fire department, businesses, and park. After World War II, a subdivision of Hanford became a segregated community for returning African American veterans to settle using the G.I. Bill. Hanford then became one of the few places involved in an all African American post-war housing development program in the United States. During the 1960s, President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Federal Interstate Highway System Act resulted in construction of Interstate 70 which split Hanford Village into two sections and tore apart the community. However, since the division, the residents of the village have worked to maintain its sense of community and unity.

A video tutorial on seeing the hours added to a job:
The Hours tab on the job in costs will show all time entries added on this job.
Viewing the list of time entries
You can change what data that appears in the grid by choosing another list in the Lists drop down, especially helpful if you for example want to see all hours on a specific employee.
This makes it easier to filter the data.
You can change the period on some of the views by typing in another date value in the period fields.
You can move hours from one job to another by clicking this button and choosing another job to add the hours to.
The transfer is done in 3 steps:
1. Select the job to move the hours to
2. Selecting the hours to be moved
3. Consider the move date*
* The move date is controlled by open accounting periods in a combination of system variable no. 366.
When the hours has been moved the system will create minus records for every time transfer done on the original job and + records to the job the hours are moved to.
Note: moving hours does not affect the employee’s time sheet. Moving hours are considered an administrative action. Consider having the employee do the change on the time sheet, if this is not what you want.
Moved hours also triggers time records in Project postings in the finance system accordingly.
Changing the activity
It’s also possible to change the activity that originally were used in the time entry. Doing so triggers the sales price to be re-calculated so if you have different activity prices on your price list then expect a change to happen.
Changing the activity also changes the activity on the user’s time sheet.
Note: you can only change the activity on records that are not yet posted in the finance system.
The search field allows you to search in the entire grid.

A FESTIVAL SEASONED HIGH ENERGY BAND THAT PUTS "YO" FEET ON THE DANCE FLOOR!
"SOME SERIOUS STRAIGHT FORWARD ROCKIN BLUES IN A STYLE ALL THEIR OWN! GUARANTEED TO BRING YOU TO YOUR FEET!"
- GENE FONTANA -
DIAMOND STATE BLUES SOCIETY
ST. GEORGE'S COUNTRY STORE
A Video Introduction....
Barrelhouse was formed in October of 2007...... Since then they have been playing locations throughout the Delmarva region. They have worked hard to build a large following that "Digs" their particular brand of blues. Club & Festival goers alike, agree, that their music is high energy and up in your grille. In 2018 Barrelhouse represented the Central Delaware Blues Society at The International Blues Challenge in Memphis Tennessee. They were one of 270 bands, worldwide, to play on Beale Street in the competition. The boys have opened for numerous well known national blues acts such as, Victor Wainwright, John Primer, Bob Margolin, Ray Fuller, Moreland & Arbuckle, Albert Castiglia, The Night Hawks, and others.... You can find Barrelhouse more and more in the lineup of festivals and major blues locations in the region.....
Guitar & Vocals........ Tom was basically born with a 6 string in his hands. Playing guitar from a very early age, he played in various bands around his home town of Delaware City, Delaware. Tom's influences are the likes of Jeff Beck, John Petrucci, Robin Trower, and Steve Vai. As Tom developed his love for the blues, he immersed himself in the search for his own style and sound. His passion for playing has taken him on the path to his signature sound of today. Tom has a terrific ability to interpret a song and develop a lead that is spot on. Tom Nowland is easily one of the more influential guitarists in the area, displaying a style that is often complimented by his accomplished peers.
Originally from the Philadelphia region, John McGovern was a founding member and bass player in the popular rock/funk band "Vitamin F" from 1992 to 1998. He also played guitar, trumpet, trombone and keyboards in the mid-Atlantic wedding band, "The Notables”, from 1983 to 1997. Other bands he played with are as follows: the progressive NJ rock band, Archangel, from 1989 to 1993, the Philly club band, "Nate Clutch", from 1984 to 1987, the bluegrass band, "White Clay Tributary", from 1982 to 1984, "The Dave Marshall Mojo Band" from 2000 to 2003. He has also free-lanced as a sub for many wedding and cover bands in the mid-Atlantic region. John has a great deal of studio experience and has recorded bass parts for many of the local artist located around the region. His latest project was "The Billy Penn Project" out of West Chester, PA.
John is also a Berklee School of Music certified Pro Tools audio engineer and is the owner of JAM Studios Inc. John currently resides in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
Harps & Vocals......... A native of Philadelphia, Charlie has called Delaware his home since 1969. Raw primitive harp licks are becoming Charlie's trademark. His influences were early masters such as, Sony Boy Williamson, Lee Oskar, and Paul Butterfield. Modern day players that grab Charlie's musical soul, are Dustin Arbuckle, and Harrisburg area's Nate Myers. His vocals are sometimes gritty, sometimes almost mellow, but always from the heart. After an appearance at The St. George's Blues Festival , a festival goer told Charlie that his voice was a cross between Tab Benoit and Phil McCormack of Molly Hatchet.... As a founding member of Barrelhouse, Choo Choo works hard to find music that fits the direction of the band's personality. Coming into the music scene late in life, Charlie treats playing music, as a precious gift, given to him to make people happy.
