an industrial powerhouse in tuscia will decimate a bucolic landscape and Ancient heritage
Uninterrupted landscape in Upper Tuscia with Monte Cimino
For anyone living in a beautiful clean landscape the prospect of a wind turbine next to one's house is one of the worst nightmares omething industrial plant is a threat that has be lived with. When governments start to expropriate lands from uninformed landowners, the alarm bells ring loudly outside the lawyer's office!
Six: There is evidence of serious health issues. Chemicals used for hazelnuts permeate and cntaminate local drinking water making it unsuitable for human consumption. The chemicals provoke the formation of a cyanobacterium called 'Plankthotrix Rubescens', commonly called red algae. There has been an increase of rare unexplained cancers around the Lago di Vico area.
Seven: New hazelnut trees take five years to fruit, During this period growers take advantage of an 'organic' subsidy paid out to them by the EU for farming without pesticides, this is only because the tree is too young to fruit. In the sixth year when the fruits appear farmers renounce their organic status and start to spray chemicals on and under the trees, and the damage commences.
Eight: Tuscia has an important tourist industry, which is seriously threatened by the consequences of hazelnut mono-culture
Nine: There is currently little or no investment for organically growing hazelnuts. The hazelnut is really only important to one company which uses 30% of the global supply. 70000 hectares of this supply will be grown in Italy by 2025.
Ten: Within Tuscia there is a new younger generation of organic farmers whose livelihoods are seriously threatened by the pollution from the hazelnut trees and the costs of land which have risen exponentially because of the prices that hazelnut speculators wish to pay.
Since Autumn 2018 an almost 1000 hectares of new hazelnut trees have been planted within a 10 km radius of Bolsena lake in Central Italy.

This is the information which we got from Bargains Alliance. What do you think about that?
We are really sorry for all looses. We would never scam so early. Here is what happened. As we own script from Gold Coders, we decided to make some customization of script. During this customization, Gold Coders asked us to provide them password for FTP access. This was first moment when we provided these details to somebody.
After few weeks somebody (Gold Coders) from IP 184.108.40.206 with mozilla browser loged into FTP area and uploaded there two .php files (/profile.php and /asmon.php). Trought this the Gold Coders probably used our API details to withdraw money from our payment processors. So at the end we lost all what the members invested (around 8.000 USD).
By this we would like to announce you that Gold Coders are not honest company. We suggest you to do not use their script, because you will get scamed.
Anyway, few days before we told www.davidnews.com that we have this problem. David offered to us the unique banner 800*400 which probably can fix our cashflow. As we wanted to continue and believe that it would fix our cashflow we bought this advert. Anyway nobody came from www.davidnews.com during 1 week so we must disable withdrawals. After we asked www.davidnews.com to pay money from advert at the less to the members who get huge lost in our project.
It would be honest from David Vonte, but he did not use this money this way. This was our second project and in both these project we got scamed by Gold Coders. We know that there are more project that god scamed like this (ArbitGo/RichPower etc.). And its true. Believe or not, but these project realy got scamed by Gold Coders. Regards Miroslav Podhorsky Owner of Bargans Alliance Inc.

The pound / dollar pair reduced part of its early growth to weekly highs
The pound / dollar pair reduced part of its early growth to weekly highs, although it still managed to stay in positive territory, near the key psychological mark of 1.2500. The pair recovered from the mid-1.200 and continued to gain momentum in the first half of trading on Thursday thanks to the us dollar sales. The latest optimism about the positive results of early human trials of the Covid-19 vaccine continued to support upbeat market sentiment. This, in turn, was seen as one of the key factors undermining the demand for a safe haven for the dollar. Global risk sentiment received an additional boost after the publication of a strong monthly report on employment in the US . The data provided further evidence that hopes for a sharp V-shaped global economic recovery remain. Meanwhile, risk aversion led to a strong intraday rise in US Treasury yields, which helped the dollar rebound from daily lows. This, combined with the continuing brexit uncertainty, limited the growth of the pound/dollar pair and caused intraday profit-taking. In recent Brexit-related headlines, negotiations between the UK and the EU have failed to achieve a significant breakthrough on a number of important issues. European Union Brexit chief Michel Barnier also said there were still serious unresolved issues between the bloc and the UK.

” I used to hate my skin, fearing I would struggle with acne my whole life. I tried this after researching and now my skin feels like the skin I should’ve been born with! It seems unbelievable, but this is the ONLY product that has EVER worked for me. Lastly, I like that this program addresses scarring.

P.S. Wash your pillow cases… a lot. People always forget to do that.
- 2.) Reviews for Exposed Skin Care – By Christopher Sennett – It’s Better than Proactive
” I was using Proactive for the longest time before I found Exposed. I have sensitive skin and Proactive always seemed to dry my skin up and made me sometimes only use it once a day instead of the standard two times. That in turn reduced its effectiveness. Exposed doesn’t dry my skin out and works 100 times better than Proactive ever did. “
- 3.) Reviews of Exposed Skin Care – By Nikki H. (Ogden, UT USA) – A True Believer
” I started using this product about a month ago and absolutely love it.
The acne serum is a miracle worker. I had a special occasion and of course my face decided to break out a few days prior. I used the acne serum as a spot treatment and within a couple of days my face was clear.
I became a true believer after that and have now purchased kits for both of my daughters who are seeing positive results as well. I don’t usually write reviews but this product deserves all the praise I can give it. “
- 4.) Reviews on Exposed Skin Care Treatment – By Eva A. (San Diego) – Finally Something that Really Works

So I came across exposed skin care products expecting the same results as everything else I have always tried, NOTHING! But WOW was I surprised!
I have oily to normal skin and was pleasantly surprised that this 6-piece kit didn’t irritate my skin like other products did. It feels so refreshing and light. Literally after about a week my skin was showing improvement and it continued week after week. Ive been getting compliments on my skin and I just Love these skin care products. Not only that but there’s a 1 year warranty! That’s just Unheard of with skin care products! “

” I really like this product. I used Proactive before this and it did the job. But my skin got used to it, it dried it out, and I got terrible sunburn. This product however is gentle, my skin feels great. It also sort of covers your face up. It cleared my face in 2 weeks, I still get some pimples. But I am no longer afraid to go out in public. “

Old Bloxhamists celebrate 100 Years of Rugby
On Saturday we held a celebratory dinner to mark 100 years of Rugby at Bloxham School. We were thrilled to welcome Old Bloxhamists and current and former members of staff back to the school, some for the first time since leaving.
Headmaster Paul Sanderson gave a welcome address and spoke about his great pleasure in welcoming guests and former Bloxham School players spanning seven decades to celebrate this sporting milestone. He continued to say how the sport of rugby has flourished at Bloxham since its inception in 1920 and been enjoyed by thousands of students. Particular mention was given to the unbeaten sides of 1947, 1989 and last year’s 1st XV, winners of the National Plate.
Guests then heard from the school’s Director of Rugby, Andy Goldsmith, who spoke about his passion for rugby and the power that the game has to bring people of all generations together and to cement life-long friendships. He encouraged guests to share memories of their playing days, tries scored and tackles made!
Grace was said by Old Bloxhamist Toby Staveley Parker, School Captain from 2019, and guests then enjoyed a delicious three course meal followed by port and cheese.
The evening’s after dinner speaker was School Historian and 1st XV Coach, Simon Batten. Simon spoke about the school’s first foray into the sport of rugby in 1920 and explained how it took a few years but by 1924 The Bloxhamist reported: “The school was really keen on the game, and no one wanted to go back to soccer. In his opinion, the Headmaster said, Rugger was the better game – better for the prestige of the school in these days, and for the formation of character.” During his speech, Simon made reference to the fact that in the last 37 years there have only been three directors of rugby – Ian George, John Horton and Andy Goldsmith and that this continuity had led to the success of many generations of the school’s rugby players. Simon also spoke about the many successful teams, tours around the world and of the hundreds of fixtures, as well as his familiarity with many Accident & Emergency units across the Midlands and South East of England!
In the school’s wood panelled Dining Hall, the room came to life with laughter and the rekindling of friendships and new acquaintances which carried on late into the evening.

Majangdong Beef Market & Sogyeokdong Kitchen
Written by Daniel Gray

Majang-dong Ushijang: Beef Market
One of the wonderful aspects about Korean markets is that you can not only shop for food there but also take your food to restaurants and dine there. If you are shopping at the market, you can be sure that the food is the freshest possible. This is the case at the famous Noryangjin Fish Market and at Majangdong Beef Market. The beef market is large and expansive, and if you decide to take a walk of the market, you’ll see butchers cutting up beef and pork. It is not for the faint of heart, for all cuts are on display, from skulls and tongues to tails and brains. But if you are looking for top-quality Korean Hanwoo beef at a decent price, then this is the place to go. For a large platter of Hanwoo A++ grade beef, it would cost about KRW 50,000 a platter (about 800 grams). If you were to get the same grade of meat at a restaurant, it would cost about KRW 150,000 or more, and you wouldn’t get the selection you get at the beef market. After you pick up your meat, you should go to a restaurant to sit and cook the meat. There is a sitting fee of KRW 5,000 a person and drinks are extra, but overall, you could have a great beef barbecue dinner for about KRW 70,000. Although the restaurants are not as luxurious as many of the top restaurants, the meat is of comparable quality. You often have to get your own refills of side dishes, sauces, garlic, and leaves for wrapping. Also, keep an eye on your fire. If it starts spitting grease, it means that you need to call a waiter, as you could have a grease fire on your hands. Sure it is a bit rustic (and slightly dangerous), but it is an experience that you can only have in Korea.

For those looking for a local experience, I would recommend this Korean restaurant hidden in the alleys of Samcheongdong. The little restaurant is in a quaint Korean house and was designed by artists that wanted to offer homestyle Korean food on antique servingware with a good selection of traditional alcohol. Note, the place is small and sits about 15 people in total, and you’ll have to be comfortable sitting on the floor. The atmosphere of the Korean house is the main draw, but the food keeps up with the theme. It is a local eatery that only the hip and discerning know about. The menu is seasonal and simple. On cold days, you can order a mackerel kimchi stew or a dumpling stew served in a stone pot. In warmer days, bibimbap, a mixed rice dish, is available. For those looking to have some cool refreshing rice beer, makgeolli, they offer pan-fried delicacies called jeon with the drink. They have North Korean beer; Cheonju, a Korean liquor; sake; and Akyang Makgeolli, which is a specialty of the Sangju region in Gyeongsangbuk-do. This makgeolli is considered by many to be the best in flavor and freshness and has a light, effervescent flavor. All of their dishes come served with homemade side dishes like kimchi, vegetables, and battered and fried spam (a delicacy in Korea). The waitstaff are friendly, and the atmosphere is sublime. Sitting in this ancient house away from the busy world is a bit of necessary peace.

Virginia 2A: Black Guy Waving Trump Flag, 'I Am Governor Ralph Northam and I Am in Blackface Today'
Julio Rosas from our Townhall mothership is at the Virginia Second Amendment rally today, and just posted what might be the best civil rights video of the 21st century.
An unidentified black man -- who I suspect is about to become an internet video sensation -- announced to laughs from the crowd, "I am Governor Ralph Northam and I am in blackface today." Before that, you can hear him instructing the crowd to "Make a hole, I'm using my white privilege. Make a hole, step to the side!"
How do you describe this crowd? Far from threatening violence or anything like that, they're outdoors, dressed for the weather, laughing and having a good time. You certainly wouldn't call them unruly, but they certainly aren't too serious or dour given the importance of today's event. So if they aren't unruly... is "ruly" a word?
Let's agree that today, it is.
Some people with a partisan drum to beat on this day have complained that it's some kind of sacrilege or something to hold a Second Amendment rally on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s holiday.
Here's an important reminder from UCLA law prof Adam Winkler:
Most people think King would be the last person to own a gun [ who is this 'we,' kemosabe? -Steve]. Yet in the mid-1950s, as the civil rights movement heated up, King kept firearms for self-protection. In fact, he even applied for a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
A recipient of constant death threats, King had armed supporters take turns guarding his home and family. He had good reason to fear that the Klan in Alabama was targeting him for assassination.
William Worthy, a journalist who covered the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, reported that once, during a visit to King’s parsonage, he went to sit down on an armchair in the living room and, to his surprise, almost sat on a loaded gun. Glenn Smiley, an adviser to King, described King’s home as “an arsenal.”
The Bill of Rights isn't a buffet. All of our constitutionally recognized rights apply to all of us, regardless of race, creed, color, or whatever. That's an important thing to remember when a onetime blackface-wearing gun-grabber tries to take away the rights of people like the one in today's little Twitter video.

Employee engagement has been one of the key themes that we have been exploring in this blog (see Employee engagement and the story of the Sky Maiden, Passion for work and anasakti, The curious case of the object and subject of employee engagement, Appropriate measures for organizational commitment , The series on salary negotiations and psychological contract , Architects of meaning & Of owning and belonging for some of the examples). In this post, let’s look at employee engagement in the case of survivors of corporate restructuring/downsizing exercises(who often suffer from the so called ‘workplace survivor syndrome’ with symptoms like anxiety, depression, decrease in performance, poor morale and increased propensity to leave)
At the heart of the survivor syndrome lies two emotions- guilt (“I didn't deserve to survive when my friends didn't”) and fear (“Next time, it could be my turn”). So, when it comes to employee engagement, the organization's best response is to help the survivors to deal with these emotions so that while the scars can't be erased, productivity can be restored to a great extent.
Guilt can be reduced by convincing the survivors that they deserved to survive (e.g. by following a transparent process for restructuring and for identifying the employees to be separated) and by ensuring that the employees who were separated have been well taken care of(e g. by providing a generous separation package & adequate transition support).
Fear can be addressed to some extent by publicly communicating (if possible) that the staff cuts have been completed and there is no such possibility in the foreseeable future. Providing the survivors the opportunity to receive psychological counseling/ stress management training with a focus on coping strategies can also help. Of course, constant communication with the employees at all levels that addresses the stated and unstated concerns has to be continued. Another type of fear is regarding increased workloads and new skill sets required. This can be addressed through careful work planning and capability building. People managers can be trained to look for signs of stress in the employees and to manage the employees in a supportive manner. Of course, any tendency among the people manages to use the residual fear to drive productivity ('blackmailing' employees to work harder) should be curbed.
What is perhaps irreversible from the employee engagement point of view (especially for the next few years) is that the employer- employee relationship moves to a purely rational plane (whereas most definitions of employee engagement include the aspect of deep emotional connect that the employees have to the organization). This is because, layoffs are often perceived as a breach of the psychological contract. This would be more so in those organizations that have been communicating messages like ‘our company is one big family’ to the employees.
This would mean that, after the restructuring, companies would have to rely more heavily on rational means to retain and motivate employees (e.g. highly competitive salaries & performance-linked incentives, gain sharing schemes etc.) as well as investment in capability building to ensure 'employability'. Yes, the emotional connect can drive discretionary effort and lead to remarkable (business) results. But, organizations should engage the emotions of the employees only if they are willing to look at employee engagement as a relationship (and not as a tool) and are willing to reciprocate (in terms of going out of the way to care for the employees, beyond what the employment contract requires)!

I just spent the last few hours finishing sewing up the hood that I started before last Pennsic. I have some nice green wool, and a linen lining, and I got everything cut out, the wool and linen sewn into hood shapes, and then I put them together right side to right side, sewed the faces together, and sewed the bottoms together. I even thoughtfully left the liripipe off the lining, so I'd have a gap that I could pull it through to turn it right side out. I did not, however, think my cunning plan quite all the way through. Since, if I sew it all together right side to right side and evert it, the lining attaches at the face, and then comes around on the outside to attach around the bottom. Basically, it looks like two hoods, joined together at the face and at the bottom; it could almost be a piece of modern art, if you hung it up and wrote a bunch of meaningless stuff about how it represented the id and the superego devouring each other.
Anyhow, it's late, so it looks like I'll be spending some quality time tomorrow with the seam ripper, and actually thinking in a bit more depth about the topology and how to get those seams sewn so that it comes out right when I turn it the right way around.
Speaking of which, who all is going to Pennsic? Is there anyone I should be meeting up with while there? trilobites and I will be heading out this weekend, and staying through both peace week and war week, though we're not sure exactly if we'll be showing up on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.

A photographer in Cologne has taken female inmates as the subjects of his work - a tall order, given penitentiary security. The artist asked the women to describe what "beauty" meant to them in everyday prison life.
The women were asked how prison life had changed them
It sounds rather macabre or, at the very least, a contradiction in terms - asking female prisoners to address the notion of beauty. Russian photographer Igor Chepikov, who has been living in Cologne, Germany since 1991, visited a women's penitentiary weekly for over 10 months. There, after splashing a wall in white paint to serve as a backdrop, he took thousands pictures of some of the inmates. Those snapshots were ultimately distilled into a selection of just 56 photographs that compose the exhibition called "Bad Ossendorf: Women in Prison" now on show in Cologne.
The title is a play on words. "Bad" in front of the name a place normally refers to a spa town in German. "Ossendorf" is the name of the penitentiary outside of Cologne. "Bad Ossendorf," then, could be translated as "Resort Ossendorf," but is intended to also imply English connotations, as in "bad love, bad money, bad company."
The photographer took 24 pictures of each participant
However one chooses to view the name, the subject of the exhibition - women in prison confronted with the topic of "beauty" - sounds like it's begging for feminist critique. After all, many of the female prisoners have more existential issues to address than philosophical matters like the definition of beauty. They are worried about their children, who are now sitting in orphanages. They are dismayed about the pain they have caused their relatives. They want to liberate themselves from a vicious circle of crime.
The photographer Chepikov, at least, gave space to the women's voices - choosing not just to display his photographs of them, but also to literally frame their "narratives." The photographer asked the women to answer certain questions in written form - to describe what beauty meant to them, if they felt they had lost time in prison, what effect prison had had on their bodies and souls?
Some of the answers: "The feeling of loneliness is the worst." "I never thought prison could make a person look so bad." "There is no place to buy make-up here, or any other kind of personal hygiene products." "Once I saw the photos, I realized how horrible the effects of the drugs have been." "I wish I could turn back the clock." "For me, 'beauty' here in the prison essentially means being clean."
Deutsche Welle spoke with the photographer, Igor Chepikov, to get his take on "Women in Prison."
Deutsche Welle: Why these photographs of women in prison? Why did you choose to do this?
Igor Chepikov: I came up with the idea about six years ago. I was sitting in the Moscow subway, and was looking out of the windows and thinking about the song "As Time Goes By." And then, I started reading something about prisons and got to thinking about what life is like in prisons. A man, for instance, could be 20 years old and get 15 years in jail, but he's only 35 when he gets out. But when he's 45 and gets out of prison [15 years later], he's 60. Life is over for him, and he has no possibility to change. For women, it's even harder - not only can they not adapt at that age, they have also lost their beauty. I realized that I should take pictures of them before that happens.
Some of the women spiffed themselves up for the photo sessions
Isn't that kind of loaded, this idea of women and beauty and prison?
I'm not sure - that's what I wanted to figure out: 'Is it problematic for women, or not?' The prison administration was doubtful - they didn't think any of the women would want to present themselves in an exhibition, which is what my intention was from the start. But 15 women wanted to participate, and that was a green light for my project from the get-go.
What do you think the motivation was for these women to take part?
Life in prison is quite boring. Participating in the project was almost like vacation - a departure from everyday life - for the women, who often sit for 23 hours a day in their cells. For them, it was a connection to outside life.
Weren't the women ashamed to show themselves?
I'm not sure. They agreed to have their pictures taken. Some of the women were in prison for the second, third or fourth time. One woman who agreed to take part had been free for a few months, then returned and said, 'Hello, I'm back, you can take more pictures of me." For her, it was like coming home again.
Do you have an example of one of the women's stories, why she came to be in prison?
Yes, I talked with the women, but their stories are supposed to remain private. You can read the anonymous narratives hanging on the walls of the exhibition.
Some statistics show that women are victims themselves before they land in prison. Did you find that when you spoke with the women?
It was different. You might find that in their narratives. Actually, a lot of these women were drug addicts, and many of them belong in a hospital or treatment center rather than a prison.
Some felt the art project was an escape from everyday jail life
What was one of the most difficult moments while you were photographing the women?
Actually, it was beforehand - in convincing the prison administration to let me in. They didn't really understand what I wanted and what my purpose was, but as soon as they got an idea of what I was aiming for - not criticizing the place, but just presenting the bit of beauty among the women in the prison - it was fine.
How do you define beauty?
You have it or you don't. It's not easily defined. I can show it better than describe it in words. Each woman here in the exhibition has some form of beauty, even if it's just something in her expression.
Isn't this a contrast, the idea of beauty and women in prison?
Yes. It's difficult for people to imagine that women want to take care of themselves in jail, but many of the prisoners told me that it's important to them, but they don't have much of a chance to do that. For the photo sessions, they made themselves up, had their hair cut.
How did you try to make the women feel comfortable with you?
I brought cookies, cigarettes, tea. And I talked with them - it wasn't just a photo session with each, but also a chat.
You trained as an architect, then switched to painting and finally, photography. Why?
I painted for 10 years - abstract painting. But then I realized that there are just some things you can only capture in a moment, and I switched to photography. My first photography project was in a slaughterhouse - I was impressed by the colors I could capture there, and the moment when life is extinguished. You can't get this moment across in abstract paintings.
Do you think this project is political - the "Women in Prison" portraits?
Some of the women said personal hygiene products are rare in prison
No. It's human. I don't want to criticize anyone. This is simply part of life, even if it's scary at times.
Why women and not men? Men can be beautiful too…
Because people think of women and not men when they hear the word beauty.
You asked women to write some things down about beauty. Why?
Because I wanted to know their opinions about the subject and not mine. Maybe they don't think about it at all. But from the letters, I can tell they do. Life is tough in prison, and it leaves traces on people's faces much more than among people who are free.
When one reads the narratives, it's clear that the women are also struggling with other problems, like their drug addiction, missing their children, their safety. Isn't it a luxury to be asking questions about beauty, when the women are facing much tougher issues?
I don't really know.

One of the latest orders of christening invitations that I completed was a nautical one!
Hooray!!! My kind of stuff!!! You know how I love anything nautical!!!
…being a fan & creator of 3D-structural invitations and cards for the past 2 years, I just had to recreate a boat or something similar.
After a brief search on related die cutters I came up with the following amazing idea that I soon constructed!!!
So, without further delay, let’s see how I got from this…
My trusted and truly amazing companion, my Big Shot Express which I bought about 4 years ago from the UK, combined with the Mayflower Boat Cutting Dies from Lifestyle Crafts did all the hard work, along with some imagination on my part of course!
Firstly, I printed out nautical blue stripey scrapbook paper and the invitation saying (which is in Greek of cource!) on thick 300gsm cardstock.
I then used the boat die and the stripey cardstock to create the boat’s bottom part. I aligned the stripes with the die and used low tack tape to keep the card in place while it was passing through the Big Shot Express.
Here’s a peak on my little but invaluable assistant!!!
When the bottom part of the invitation was done, I measured and cut the top piece -the sail- shaping it into a large triangle to fit on top of the boat. I did not use any of the remaining two dies in the box as I knew the sail would be too small to fit any kind of decent lettering on it (you can see the sail die on the second top photo)! Can be used alternatively as a favor box though (reminder to self!!!).
As soon as the cutting procedure was done, I found myself in the dilemma of how to assemble the two pieces without having any permanent bonding so that the customer could disassemble the invites and send some abroad if she wished.
Puzzling was soon over with a little help from my hubby who recommended cutting up two slits to the triangle so it would slide onto the boat shape on the front and back side…Problem Solved!!!
As soon as I saw the result I knew that it was a winner!!!
It’s one of those days that a good idea becomes an amazing reality and all things seem to just fall into place………………ahhhhh!
If you wish to see more of my creations, you can head over to my Facebook page The Craft Box and if you like what you see then let me know!!!

Asked the lord above “Have mercy now
save poor Bob if you please”
If I were combing the land to find the greatest blues / blues-rock songs ever written and recorded, Crossroads would be on the shortlist. Written by the incomparable blues legend Robert Johnson, it was originally recorded on Friday, November 27, 1936 in San Antonio Texas. It has become one of the powerhouse entries in the blues repertoire, and its fame and status have only been increased by the blues-rock rendition played by Cream in the 1960s. But many other artists have performed the song since Johnson and Cream’s landmark recordings. I wanted to look a few of the more prominent cover versions of the song. Not all great, all of these variations at least deserve a few listens and have some elements to recommend them.
To start with, is Joe Bonamassa’s rendition with Zakk Wylde of Black Sabbath fame and of the band Black Label Society. Watching these two guitarists do their thing on this tune is like a fireworks spectacular. It’s especially interesting to listen to their widely contrasting styles, with Wylde’s rapid-fire pyrotechnics heavily influenced by his metal background, contrasting nicely with the more deliberate, methodical blues jamming from Joe.
5. Ry Cooder: Ry Cooder has had an impressive career in music. Born in 1947 in Los Angeles, he is a multi-instrumentalist but primarily known for his multi-faceted, engaging slide guitar work. Some of the illustrious artists he’s collaborated with include Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and the Doobie Brothers. He also produced the highly successful Buena Vista Social Club album in 1997, to great acclaim. His success as a guitarist is made tangible by his inclusion on “greatest guitarist” lists published by both Rolling Stone magazine and by Gibson.
If you’re a fan of amusingly over-the-top gospel-influenced background vocals, this is the version of Crossroads for you. It doesn’t really work for me, although Cooder is a professional singer and guitarist, and underneath the somewhat silly veneer, there’s a solid performance of Crossroads. The main problem is that the underlying song is so great that you don’t need a lot of extra fat to beef it up. This track is terribly overproduced, but it would be interesting to hear what Cooder could do with this song in a minimalist context. I think it’d be rather solid.
4. John Mayer: John Mayer started his career as a troubadour of acoustic guitar-based adult contemporary ballads that could send thirteen year old girls into a Dionysian frenzy, but before long he was busting out the blues riffs and establishing his credentials with the blues elites. After beginning with some unnecesssary noodling on the guitar, his rendition of Crossroads is smooth, slick, and polished, although that’s not what one necessarily really wants in a performance of the gritty blues staple. Medium-bodied, medium-tempo, with gentle harmonies and a bit of a crunch in the guitar tone, this is Crossroads with a brand new pop shine. It’s pleasant enough to listen to, including the guitar solo, but doesn’t feature any of the fire or menace that is the essential heart of this particular classic. It’s almost too breezy. But, if you’re seeking a two and a half minute light rock take on Crossroads, this will get the job done, though I wouldn’t expect it to send you into a frenzy of your own. Mayer takes a sweet solo in the middle, reminding everyone how respected he is as a blues guitarist, and definitely making this clip worth a watch. I’m just not crazy about the performance otherwise. There’s no fire in its belly.
3. Phish: Carrying on the torch from The Grateful Dead, Phish early on established themselves as the Godzilla of the contemporary jam-rocks scene. They dabble in a multiplicity of musical styles, from funk to folk-country to jazz-rock, and can slide from one to another with ease. They are also known for their plethora of covers, so it is not too shocking that they would choose to take on this classic blues rock gem.The jam-heavy modern rock heavyweights can sure play, although they restrain themselves from turning this live cover into a 23-minute epic and play it pretty much straight although there is some genuinely great guitar soloing from Trey Anastasio. This piece sounds like vintage Phish, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, there are little things about this track that bother me. Trey’s guitar tone sounds somewhat milquetoast compared with some of his competitors, and I don’t particularly like the lower key they transcribed this song into. But it’s definitely worth some listens. These are quibbles though. It’s a nice performance.
2. Robert Johnson: Robert Johnson probably didn’t actually sell his soul to the devil at the crossroads, though it makes for a fabulous story, as discussed here in a previous blog. Regardless, this song is as legendary as that supernatural tall tale. What this man can do with a guitar, a slide, and his own voice is nothing short of astonishing, which is why he is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century period.Right from the first line, I went down to the crossroad /
fell down on my knees, your heart absolutely aches and break for Johnson. What are the sins of his past that he’s running from? The song is almost as enigmatic as the real life man himself. But whatever it is, you get the feeling Johnson is more afraid of what happens after death to the soul rather than the fear of Earthly torments. Some critics are not so sure of this, speculating that the lyrics may partially refer to the fear of anti-black discrimination in the south, including discriminatory laws and even lynchings. There’s probably a bit of truth in both interpretations, but one thing that is certain is that this song came from a deep, dark, somewhat tortured space in the musician’s soul. But as brilliant and timeless as this cut is, it doesn’t take my top spot on this countdown…
1. Cream – Is it blasphemy to rank this #1 ahead of Johnson’s version? It might be, but I’ve always been a bit of a sinner. The thing is, this isn’t a better performance than Johnson’s, though I think it’s just as good. But whereas I don’t necessarily think Crossroads is the very peak of Johnson’s artistic output, as phenomenal as it is, this is 60s blues rock at its highest summit. Baker pounds the skins like a madman, Bruce holds down the bass groove, and Clapton is absolutely blistering in his vocals-and-guitar mastery. Clapton played the song back in his days with the Mayall Bluesbreakers band, and kept it in the repertoire for his time with Cream . It’s not a straight cover of Johnson’s original, but actually a mashup of two Johnson tunes: “Cross Road Blues” and “Traveling Riverside Blues.” Of the song, Clapton himself has said, “It became, then, a question of finding something that had a riff, a form that could be interpreted, simply, in a band format. In ‘Crossroads’ there was a very definite riff. He [Johnson] was playing it full-chorded with the slide as well. I just took it on a single string or two strings and embellished it. Out of all of the songs it was the easiest for me to see as a rock and roll vehicle.” The riff itself is sublime, perfection, it’s better than “Sunshine of Your Love” and I’ll defend that claim any day.I also love Clapton’s vocals here, which are full of swagger and force. If there are various bridges between rock and blues, then this is the Brooklyn or the Golden Gate. Cream was born to play this song and they makes this song so much their own that it’s overwhelming in its power and influence. Not only is this one of my favorite blues-rock songs of the moment, it’s one of my favorites of all time. To me, it deserves the top spot here unconditionally and with question.

I decided I wanted to get in on the productive early morning cooking from scratch train and realized I had all the right ingredients to make muffins.
I used a recipe I found online but tweaked it so I'll put what I did here:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
(Mix these ingredients together and set aside)
In a separate bowl:
Beat 1 large egg
Add 1 cup of milk (I used vanilla almond milk)
Add 1/4 cup oil or melted butter (I used melted coconut oil)
1 tsp lemon extract
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Whisk all together
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add wet ingredients. Fold all ingredients together carefully with a rubber spatula. Add about half a pint of fresh blueberries. Don't over mix or they will be tough!
Spoon batter into muffin tin or silicon or foil cups until about 3/4 full. Bake 25 minutes in a 400F oven.
These muffins turned out beautifully...light and chewy on the inside, sweet and slightly crunchy on the top. The lemon is a little strong, so I might not use the lemon juice next time. And they're not too sweet, like store bought muffins can be.
I imagine they smell great. But I can't smell them over the scent of that brisket...oh my. We're going to have the best French dips for lunch!

A Zimbabwean pastor leading a campaign against the government’s handling of the economy has reportedly been charged with inciting public violence.
His own #ThisFlag Twitter campaign feed and the state-run Herald paper tweeted that Evan Mawarire was also being charged with disturbing the peace.
Activists organised a “stay-at-home” protest last Wednesday and planned similar shutdowns this week.
It has mostly been organised on social media and WhatsApp using #ThisFlag.
Zimbabwe’s economic crisis has worsened recently, leading to a chronic cash shortage and delays paying civil servants.
Pastor Mawarire was summoned for questioning by police ahead of a two-day “stay-at-home” protest called for Wednesday and Thursday.
Several hours after he reported to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Tuesday morning, the #ThisFlag Twitter account posted: “Pastor Evan Mawarire is being charged with section 36 for inciting public violence and disturbing peace.”
It included a video in which the preacher says: “You are watching this video because I have either been arrested or have been abducted. It’s a video we had pre-recorded for a day like this one.”
He ends his message saying that he hopes the shutdowns have been successful.
“Hold this government to account. Never let them get away with anything,” he says.
“Remember this flag is our flag, no-one else loves Zimbabwe more than a Zimbabwean.”
Import ban anger
According to Zimbabwe’s private Newsday newspaper, the pastor turned up at the central police station in the capital, Harare, with a bible and a Zimbabwean flag but without his mobile phone, which is what sources at the station say the CID wants access to.
The authorities have been trying to trace who has been sending out messages about the national shutdown, as several activist groups have been involved.
Last Wednesday’s stay away led to a complete shutdown of schools, businesses and shops across the country.
It was the biggest strike action since 2005 and public transport and some government departments, including the courts, also ceased to function.
Last week, taxi drivers complaining about police extortion also clashed with the security forces in parts of Harare.
Civil servants who had not received their June salaries were paid in the wake of the strike.
These have to be paid in foreign currency as Zimbabwe abandoned its own currency in 2009 in order to stem runaway inflation.
There is also anger at a government ban on importing many goods which has been implemented in order to save scarce foreign currency.
But with unemployment at more than 90%, many Zimbabweans rely on cross-border trading to make a living.

Editorial: Regulations recently imposed by the government of Risemia call for unprecedented reductions in the amounts of pollutants manufacturers are allowed to discharge into the environment. It will take costly new pollution control equipment requiring expensive maintenance to comply with these regulations. Resultant price increases for Risemian manufactured goods will lead to the loss of some export markets. Clearly, therefore, annual exports of Risemian manufactured goods will in the future occur at diminished levels.Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the editorial?
【选项】The need to comply with the new regulations will stimulate the development within Risemia of new pollution control equipment for which a strong worldwide demand is likely to emerge.

A sketch I managed to put some flat colors on a while back of Qila from the Inuit Snow Queen project. This was just one of the sketches that came out of my sketchbook. Haven't done much with the story yet since my friend and I haven't gotten to talk much about what goes down in the story these days. She's got a lot of her own work and I have mine so we'll get back to the project eventually but right now's not the best time.
Art belongs to me.
Character belongs to Ash and me.

A shock announcement by the Queen of Denmark has left some of her grandchildren without their royal titles.
Queen Margrethe II has announced that from 1 January 2023 the children of one of her two sons, Joachim, will no longer be allowed to refer to themselves as Prince or Princess.
They will, however, still be allowed to use their other titles count or countess of Monpezat.
In a statement released by the palace, it said that the Queen’s decision was in line with moves that other European royal houses have made recently.
“The Queen’s decision is in line with similar adjustments that other royal houses have made in various ways in recent years.”
The statement added that she wants her grandchildren by Prince Joachim “to be able to shape their own lives to a much greater extent without being limited by the special considerations and duties that a formal affiliation with the Royal House of Denmark as an institution involves”.
MSN reports that in an interview with a Danish media outlet, Joachim, who lives in Paris with his second wife and two youngest children, is quoted as saying he wasn’t given much notice that the changes had been decided.
“I was given five days’ notice of this. To tell my children that at the New Year their identity will be taken away from them. I am very, very sad to see them upset and uncomprehending of what is happening over their heads.”

August 29, 2013
The Countway Library at Harvard Medical School today held a forum/seminar on what they’re working on. What they’re working on is pretty great.
NOTE: Live-blogging. Getting things wrong. Missing points. Omitting key information. Introducing artificial choppiness. Over-emphasizing small matters. Paraphrasing badly. Not running a spellpchecker. Mangling other peoples ideas and words. You are warned, people.
Griffin Weber – “Discovering Expertise using research networking websites”
In 2008 Countway built Catalyst, a site with faculty profiles. Passive networks, shown on the right, are the existing networks. Active networks, shown on the right, grow over time. It provides a set of visualizations, including of co-authors out two degrees, topics, people with similar interests, physical neighbors, etc.
Last year they extended this to the entire university with the Faculty Finder. It’s a search site with links back to the faculty members school or departmental website.
Then they decided to link up the instances of this open source software being used at 30 universities, via federated search.
The data in the system can be used to do interesting visualizations of various relations; Griffin shows some examples.
Internally it uses the VIVO ontology.
Emily Gustainis, Head of Collection Services for Center for the History of Medicine – “Collaborative Content Building Using Omeka”
Omeka, from George Mason University, has had a big effect. It’s a “free, flexible, open source web-publishing platform for the display of library, museum, archives and scholarly collections and exhibitions.” It combines the cataloging and exhibiting of content, enabling users to self-curate their collections.
They are collaborating on the Our Marathon site that Northeastern is building, as well as with other institutions on other projects, including a collection of historical embryo photos. They’re also working on the Harvard Library Interoperability Initiative [yay!] on making cross-institutional collections available through Omeka without requiring local instances of all the content. (Here are some of the collections.)
Jonathan Kennedy: ASHE (Automatic Subject Heading Extraction)
Jon works with Countway Library and CBMI (Center for Biomedical Informatics) on semantic technologies. They’re working on semantic search, so that searches for, e.g., cancer return results about tumors, neoplasms, etc..
ASHE uses automated processes to try to generate the sort of subject headings for medical articles that a human would apply. They developed a tool and tested it on 50 books that had already been categorized by humans so they’d have something to compare the algorithmic results to. The results have been very encouraging. The system’s top ten suggested headings quite consistently contain the human-generated headings, and about 25% of the time the human-generated headings are way towards the top of the suggested ones. Also, ASHE does a good job supplying secondary headings.
They would like to expand beyond the medical domain. Criteria: Well-supported ontologies that provide dictionaries of synonymous terms, with parent to child relationships. Also, the granularity has to be right. The Library of Congress Subject Headings generally aren’t hierarchical enough for the project. But the Getty Thesaurus might be good, as well as an astrophysics ontology.
Julia Whelan: “Research in Medical Education: A bibliometric study of scholarship”
Harvard Medical School and the University of Pittsburgh Medical School are partnering to address a set of questions including: Is scholarship about medical education growing? Which journals publish it? What’s it growth compared to other medical topics? Which topics in medical ed are covered? etc. They use MeSH headings (Medical Subject Headings) to track studies and articles. They looked at 72.5K articles from 1960-2010 in 3,869 different journals. They saw growth in the number of articles and substantial growth in the number of journals. These grew faster than other medical articles and journals. They’ve also analyzed topic coverage over time, and which journals publish the most on particular topics. E.g., 80% of articles in medical education are not published in medical education journals.
Future projects: studying topics by the gender of the authors, medical specialities, medical school culture, promotion criteria, and making data available to historians on the Web. Here’s a paper on this project.
David Osterberg: “Strategic Planning at Countway: Innovation and Collaboration from the Bottom Up”
(David gives a highly condensed version of his talk because a tour of Countway is about to start.) Countway has a very flat organization. The staff is small enough to meet in one room, which they do every month. At one meeting, they brainstormed what they can do to make Countway better, and lots of great ideas arose. They formed working groups on everything from the use of space to a set of in-depth training videos to e-special collections that pull together info from all across the spectrum…

Bugatti Wants to Build an 'Affordable' EV
Bugatti seeks to widen its appeal by building a battery-powered grand tourer or crossover that’s more affordable than its current lineup, of which the least expensive model—the Chiron—costs around USD 2.9 million. Of course, the term ‘affordable’ is being used relatively here, as the planned electric vehicle (EV) has a targeted price cap of USD 1 million—still way beyond the reach of most car consumers.
In an interview, Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann said that the French hypercar maker is in talks with parent company Volkswagen Group about the proposal.
"The industry is changing fundamentally, and we have to address what opportunities there are to develop Bugatti as a brand going forward," Winkelmann said during the interview, adding that acquiring the necessary investment for such a massive undertaking is a “hard fight.”
The move exposes the fact that even the affluent vehicle market is feeling the pressure of the impending doom of the internal combustion engine (ICE), as global auto markets one after the other are aggressively pushing for its eradication.
According to Winkelmann though, the massive shift that Bugatti is planning is less concerned about meeting emissions standards, but more about the redefinition of progress and innovation, which basically translates to profitability.
The elite nameplate is known for high development costs and low production volumes, which lead to limited opportunities for parts and technology sharing. The Veyron—the VW Group’s first Bugatti offering—was considered one of the biggest money losers in the auto industry despite its relatively low USD 1.3-1.7 million price tag.
Bugatti currently has six cars in its lineup, starting with the Bugatti Chiron, Chiron Sport, Chiron Sport 110 Ans Bugatti, and the Divo. The most expensive Bugatti of all is a one-off, the La Voiture Noire, which sold for USD 18.7 million to an unnamed buyer.
Winkelmann is the previous head of VW Group’s Lamborghini brand, and is looking to bring his successful leadership to Bugatti. While the French brand is “earning decent money,” Winkelmann said that it now needs to justify its existence with profitability lest it endures the risk of being phased out once again.
The death of Ettore Bugatti in 1947 led to the demise of the high-performance car brand. It was revived in the 1990s by an Italian entrepreneur. The nameplate has been under the VW Group since 1999.


Melissa Shivers, associate vice chancellor for student life and dean of students, has been named the next vice president for student life at the University of Iowa.
Shivers, who first joined the university in 2010 as assistant vice chancellor for student life, will begin her new job in Iowa on June 30.
“We are delighted for Melissa as this is a wonderful opportunity for her,” said Vince Carilli, vice chancellor for student life. “While we are saddened to see her leave Rocky Top, we are equally excited to see her fulfill her dream. She will be a phenomenal chief student affairs officer, and Iowa is lucky to have a professional of her caliber on their executive team.”
Serving as the dean of students since 2014, the Office of the Dean of Students oversees the Student Government Association, the Office of Multicultural Student Life, the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life, the Center for Leadership and Service, the Center for Student Engagement, the Office of Student Media, the Pride Center, the Center for Career Development, New Student and Family Programs, and Off-Campus and Commuter Services.
Shivers has worked with campus academic partners and student life colleagues on efforts to position the university among the Top 25 public institutions in the country. She collaborated with campus partners to launch several major initiatives to engage students, including the Lunch Hours program, the Student Honorary Coach program, Vol Walks and Talks, Big Orange Meal Share, and Rocky Top Roundtable.
The Division of Student Life will take some time to reimagine how best to serve students with conversations starting earlier this week.


BMW has taken another step in what is shaping up to be a multifaceted electric vehicle initiative that focuses on spurring infrastructure and lifestyle changes among consumers, as much as touting the vehicles themselves.
