Throughout history, Spain has been the center of many culture influences by its proximity with Mediterranean Sea. From Arabic Christian and Jewish cultures; Spain is an accumulation of ancestral knowledge and folk music. However; the flamenco origins are more distant, the arrival of this art in Andalusia, came together the influx of the gipsy at the end of the fifteenth century in the south of Castilla.
The origin of flamenco is in the Andalusian region, which makes Seville one of the cradles of flamenco in Andalusia, an art that has become a tourist attraction in this city.
Iberinbound Travel, email@example.com incoming travel agency specialized in groups dedicated for many years to sell and offer cultural tours in Spain and Portugal where the protagonist of these tours are mainly the essence of the flamenco music. Iberinbound Travel offers you the experience to know and watch the richness of Spain culture and live a unique touristic experience.
Those who visit the Andalusian capital take advantage of their stay to see a flamenco show live in Seville, a highly recommended experience to enjoy the strength, talent, art and ·duende”, the spirit of a dance, a song and a music that is universal and has a series of curiosities that we are going to tell you.
Enjoy a live flamenco show
If you want to get involved in the atmosphere and discover this universal art, we recommend you watch a live flamenco show. If you visit Seville and need to enjoy a unique show in Andalusia, the performances have the seal of flamenco artists of recognized national and international prestige.
What is flamenco?
Flamenco is an original art of Andalusia, the result of the influence and miscegenation of various cultures such as gypsy, Arabic, Christian and Jewish. It integrates music, singing and dancing and, at present, this artistic expression is appreciated and practiced throughout the world.
Known for its great emotional intensity, for the waste of feelings that artists print in interpretations, flamenco was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010.
As we indicated at the beginning, flamenco has its origin in Andalusia and its birth dates back to the 18th century. There is no unanimity about its denomination, but there is a theory that indicates that flamenco derives from the Andalusian term ‘fellah min gueir ard’, an expression that means something like ‘landless peasant’.
If there is a culture that is directly associated with flamenco, that is the gypsy, perhaps because it has been the one that has contributed most to the development of this art, although it has not been the only one, since it even includes African and Caribbean influences, in addition to the Arabs, Jewish and Christians that we mentioned above.
Flamenco, an expression of feelings
Can enjoy flamenco shows that are celebrated, for example, in tablaos, a place where attendees can learn first-hand the passion and emotions that this universal art possesses.
And if there is something that characterizes flamenco is its power to convey feelings, since originally the first flamenco’s used this art to express emotional experiences.
The flamenco lyrics are loaded with pain, joy, passion, anguish, love or heartbreak, among other feelings, feelings that are also reflected even in the name of some of these sticks such as ”soleá” or ”alegrias”.

Baobab Tree, Part One
Willem says: 'The Phyto-Philes are for plant lovers of every size and shape, colour and flavour. As with my Colours of Wildlife column, I'll be featuring one species per article, illustrated with sketches, paintings, and/or photos. Over time I hope to be showcasing the amazing diversity of weird and wonderful plants that occur in South Africa, while also from time to time looking at the flora of other countries. While featuring many spectacular species, I'll not be neglecting the smaller, more humble kinds that are nevertheless fascinating in their own right.'
For this article I’d like to tell you about another iconic plant of my own region, the Baobab Tree, Adansonia digitata. There is already an entry on them on h2g2 here. I also mention baobabs in this entry. Then there's my short story, Time for a Change. So, I've written about them a lot on h2g2 already, but not yet for the Phyto-Philes, so I'm using this entry for extra pictures and information, plus personal impressions.
I live in the province of Limpopo, which is the northernmost province of South Africa. This province is named for the Limpopo River, which flows in a huge curve along the northern border of our country. The valley that has been carved out by this river is a low-lying, very hot and dry region … and it is exactly in this region where you will find baobabs! Their distribution in this country almost completely corresponds to the Limpopo Valley, except in the Lowveld to the East where they penetrate further south to about the Olifants River. The Baobab tree also appears on the Limpopo Coat of Arms, and on Limpopo license plates. Many magnificent specimens can be seen around the town of Messina, and along the road from there to Pontdrift. There is also a nature reserve around the town, the Messina Baobab Reserve, with numerous beautiful large specimens (not to mention other very interesting and distinctive plants and wildlife). I've been there on many occasions along with my mother and father. The photos here were taken in the reserve. The paintings are also of trees either from there or elsewhere close by. So this is a tree that I know very well up close and personal.
The first photo is of one of the largest ones I've personally seen so far. You might not be able to see him, but my dad is actually standing next to it. The second photo is an enlargement in which I point him out. This tree is about 20 m (70 ft) tall, with a trunk thickness of about 5 m (17 ft). The largest known specimens have been recorded with trunks of over 15 m (50 ft) in thickness! But they don’t get much taller than this, 25 m (83 ft) being more or less the limit. In other countries they do get taller. Baobabs occur northward from here into most of the hot, dry savannah regions of Africa. Although elsewhere they get taller, the thickest ones as far as I know occur over here. When one day I have more confidence and improved circumstances, I will try and seek the largest ones out and to see them and photograph them in person.
A particularly interesting specimen not at all far from where I live is a big baobab with a bar inside its trunk. This is actually not harmful to it, and the tree (as far as I know) is still thriving. Some wild trees naturally become hollow. The hollows in the wild can give shelter to many different kinds of animals. Hollows that face upwards collect small pools of rainwater, that may last well into the long, dry winters, and which will be utilized by monkeys, baboons and squirrels for drinking. Even non-hollow trees have many nooks and crannies formed by the folds of the trunk, branches and bark that can be used as homes and hiding places by myriads of creatures. Here I include a photo of the bark of a baobab, to give you an idea.
From a distance these trees can appear grey or whitish, but up close, the bark of healthy trees can be seen to be a pinkish or bronze colour. The bark also forms vertical ridges giving the impression of melting and dripping candle wax! These trees being so ancient, one can almost imagine the bark actually sagging and flowing downwards over many centuries to create this effect. As it is, these folds make many small crevices, and directly under the limbs (which do very much give the impression of huge giant arms) there can be much larger sheltered hollows. These are handy nesting places for swifts. In our region, Böhm's Spinetail Swifts are in particular associated with baobabs, preferentially making their nests in such hollows. Other birds that also prefer baobabs for nesting include White-crowned Shrikes, Red-headed Weavers, and Buffalo Weavers. One of my paintings shows the large, untidy bundle-of-grass nests of Buffalo Weavers in a large baobab. There's also a small falcon, Dickinson's Kestrel, that's particularly associated with regions where baobabs grow. Finally, Ground Hornbills also often make their nests in large hollows at the tops of baobab trees. I mention all of these, and more, in my short story!
More to come. . .

The big question ahead of the match with Brighton was who would come in for the injured Granit Xhaka. The Swiss midfielder suffered a serious knee injury in the north London derby, and he will be missing for approximately 3 months.
Two clear options were available to Mikel Arteta. The first was to keep the same formation used to beat Spurs and make a like for like replacement for Xhaka. The second, change the formation by reverting to the 4-3-3 used to beat Burnley two weekends ago.
For me, you do not try to fix something that isn’t broken, and Arsenal have been a side in the last half-to-full decade that lacked stability.
Aaron Ramsdale and the established back four have brought that to the team and with the defence fixed, spreading that stability forwards would only be beneficial.
Without European football this season, there is an opportunity to play the strongest side in most, if not all, of the league games this season barring any injuries.
It is therefore pleasing to see the structure of the side unchanged from the north London derby. Sambi Lokonga, the Belgian international, was the immediate choice and it is thankful to see him start his first league fixture with Thomas Partey.
The hope will be that the pair can develop their own partnership like the established defence.
This single switch means that the Arsenal attacking quartet are maintained and certainly deserve it after Emile Smith-Rowe and Bukayo Saka notched a goal and assist each in the Spurs win.
One of the key necessities for Arsenal to mount a challenge on their ambitions this season falls to Pierre Emerick Aubameyang to find his form and score consistently again. He has 5 goals so far this season, 2 in the league but scoring successively is what Arteta will be hoping for.

China’s government-backed blockchain project, the Blockchain Service Network, has announced the integration of the Tezos blockchain onto its international portal. According to an official announcement on Sept. 24, Tezos has been selected as the “one of the first batch of blockchains” to be integrated into the BSN International — a global platform providing access to public chain services on the BSN.
Due to the integration, developers worldwide can now access the Tezos protocol using BSN’s global public city nodes and portals. According to the BSN, there are three global public city nodes that have integrated with the Tezos blockchain in both mainnet and testnet. To date, BSN’s global public city nodes include locations in Hong Kong, California, and Paris, according to the announcement.
In order to deploy and manage their own permissioned chains on the BSN International, developers should create an account on the official website. Through accessing “Permissionless Services,” developers are able to create their own projects on the Tezos mainnet or testnet. As BSN announced, all APIs provided by Tezos can be accessed in similar ways on the BSN, with the original data format being kept.
David Shin, head of Asia at TZ APAC, a Tezos Foundation-supported working group in Singapore, said the BSN integration is a positive development for the entire Tezos ecosystem:
The BSN initiative is designed to maintain the architectural integrity of the consensus layer in public blockchains, which are decentralized in nature. [...] This initiative will enable developers in China to access affordable developing tooling and create ecological awareness of Tezos on the BSN platform.”
As reported, the BSN network plans to integrate up to 40 public blockchains by June 2021. Tezos is among the first batch of six blockchains including NEO, Nervos, Cosmos’ IRISnet, Ethereum and EOS. The BSN is also planning to integrate three more blockchains in Algorand, ShareRing and Solana as the second batch.
Piloted in October 2019, China’s BSN network is a government-backed blockchain initiative that was initially positioned to help small to medium-sized businesses create and deploy blockchain apps on permissioned networks. The program was officially launched in April 2020 for global commercial use, while the BSN International went live in August.

Much has changed since the Maastricht timetable was first agreed. Slower growth in Europe and a change in political leadership have strengthened the case for a "constructive postponement." David Marsh argues that the hazards of a premature launch far outweigh the risks of delaying Emuby David Marsh / April 20, 1997 / Leave a comment
Economic and monetary union is ostensibly an economic project. In reality, it is a political venture with strong overtones of European psychodrama. It combines the elegance and high intentions of Moli?re with the epic nature of Goethe’s Faust and the mystery of Agatha Christie. One of the main elements of suspense stems from the economic and political changes we have seen in Europe since the Maastricht treaty was agreed in 1991. Because of these changes, Emu is unlikely to be accomplished according to the Maastricht timetable.
Motivations behind Emu, too, have changed. The EC’s latest effort to forge monetary union was founded in the mid-1980s on the desire to complete the single market. Then came the fall of the Berlin wall and German reunification, and the primary motivation switched to the aim of controlling and constraining renascent Germany in an enlarged and strengthened European framework. Plus d’Allemagne made it necessary to construct plus d’Europe.
More recently, the motivation has shifted once again. Emu is being used as a means of putting pressure on European governments to carry out economic and budgetary reforms which, but for their incompetence, impotence or foolhardiness, they should have carried out anyway. The difficulty is that the EU has neither the power nor the legitimacy to shoulder the burden of driving forward such reforms. Europe risks being blamed unjustifiably for unpopular measures for which governments should bear the responsibility.
the tandem of Germany and France has been of vital importance in promoting Emu. As a British European, I support the Franco-German relationship that has developed since the war. Yet these ties have a neurotic aspect that cannot be ignored.
Emu can be regarded as a late 20th century Arc de Triomphe constructed to celebrate the ending of the cold war. France saw and sees Emu as the means to reproduce on a European scale the power and influence it knew it would lose, as a result of German unity, on a national level. Accordingly, France has been seeking to dismantle, stone by stone, the edifice of the Bundesbank and build a new structure in the shape of the European central bank (ECB).
A larger Germany, meanwhile, ostensibly sought not to gain power but to give it up, in the interest of European harmony and co-operation with its neighbours. Monetary union, through the dissolution of the Bundesbank and the replacement of the D-mark by a supranational…


Had so much fun shooting and editing this for a school assignment. The song is “Glory” by The Acorn. Pretty sure I got it from doing a USB swap with Emily Sideen when we met in high school (which is honestly my favourite thing to do).
I love the the feel, and the instrumentation of this song. The clang-y percussion, simple guitar part, and deep grinding cello (as you may know, I’m always a sucker for some fine-ass cello).
It feels like morning to me.
A song that can even me out at dawn, or wind me down at dusk. So that’s kind of what I went for with the video.
Thank you to JM, again, for being in it and letting me annoy him constantly for a period of 4 days.

Nine guest tickets.
That’s what each graduating student from Ellison and Harker Heights high schools will be allotted for their commencement ceremonies the first weekend in June.
That announcement came down from Killeen Independent School District administration early this month, and some soon-to-be-graduates and their parents are none too happy about it.
For most families, nine tickets is plenty. But for others, the nine-guest limit means leaving a close relative or family friend off the invite list — and that’s causing a backlash by students, some of whom say they may skip the ceremony in protest.
That would be a shame.
High school graduation is a big deal for many students — as well it should be.
Crossing the stage to receive a hard-earned diploma in front of friends and family is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion the graduate will remember for a lifetime. It’s also an event most families want to witness in person.
Skipping graduation means missing out on those memories, both for the grads and their families.
Still, the reasons for the ticket limit are legitimate — safety and security.
The Expo Center’s seating capacity is 6,500, and last year Ellison and Harker Heights had 656 and 514 graduates, respectively. If those numbers were repeated this year, the nine-ticket maximum would yield crowds of between 5,000 and 5,900, in addition to the graduates, faculty and staff.
Obviously, the district wants to ensure the anticipated crowd size for each graduation is well within limits of what the facility can safely accommodate — and that’s to be commended.
But waiting until this close to the end of the school year to impose the ticket limit seems a bit short-sighted.
Projected graduation numbers for the two schools didn’t just pop up overnight. District officials should have had a pretty good idea where things were headed early this year.
In fact, district officials had reason for concern as far back as last June, when overcrowding at one graduation ceremony resulted in people standing in the aisles and sitting in stairwells. From a safety standpoint, that’s a scenario that can’t be allowed to happen again.
By waiting until early March to announce the new policy, the district put some families in a bind — especially those with relatives planning to visit from out of state. With the schools’ graduation dates locked in since last fall, some out-of-town family members no doubt went ahead and bought their plane tickets to ensure a lower fare. Now they may face the possibility of missing the big event entirely.
Also, it seems unfair to single out Ellison and Harker Heights in this case. Granted, Killeen and Shoemaker high schools have smaller graduating classes — 470 and 480 last year — but the district should still impose a ticket limit — even if it is higher — for consistency’s sake.
Already, frustrated district students have created an online petition calling for Superintendent John Craft to find a larger venue for the graduations, in hopes of eliminating the ticket-limit policy.
District communication officer Terry Abbott acknowledged Craft has considered changing venues in order to accommodate the growing high school student population in the future. but the fact remains that the Expo Center is the largest indoor venue in the Killeen-Temple area.
Abbott also noted that the Expo Center has two “spillover rooms” for people who want to attend but can’t get tickets. One room looks out onto the arena floor and the other is equipped with a video screen that will carry the district’s simulcast of the graduation.
If voters approve a fifth traditional high school in May’s bond election, the resulting redistribution of students across the district would serve to lower graduating class sizes — potentially eliminating the need for ticket limits, at least temporarily.
Abbott said the district has encouraged graduating students to work with their classmates to obtain unused tickets, if possible.
That’s one approach, but perhaps a better solution would be the creation of a ticket pool. Under that setup, students who don’t need their entire allotment of graduation tickets would donate the ones they don’t plan to use — after consulting with their parents — so the extra tickets can be reallocated to other graduates.
The pool could be organized at the high school level, with school administrators handling the allocation process, or it could be coordinated at the district level.
Either way, it would eliminate a lot of anxiety for some students, who otherwise would have to solicit tickets from classmates or face the unpleasant task of informing a close friend or relative that he or she can’t witness the grad’s big day.
High school graduation is a significant milestone in a student’s life. The Killeen school district should do everything possible to ensure its graduates can share the experience with those who matter most.

I work with
always cute kiddos on a daily basis. Yes, sure… sometimes they can make me cuckoo, but they inspire me too. I had an aha moment one day during an art project we were doing. I had been throwing away or just using scraps of their art as collage materials and loved the look on their art wall. It dawned on me I should do a series of children’s paintings with or at least inspired by some of their collage art work! And so the mixed media series of Animals was born!! I have the foxes, the giraffes, and the deer done. Soon the owls, bears, and elephants will be done too. Here is a glimpse of the three completed works. I’m super excited about this project!!

On October 12, Sumgait people marked City Day-2003 in the Maritime Park of Culture after Nasimi in front of the Nasimi monument. The city turns 54. 34 of them are directly connected with the name of Heydar Aliyev. During this period, large enterprises have been constructed here.
Head of the Sumgait Executive Power Vagif Aliyev noted that this event concured with the eve of Presidential Elections and visit of Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
V. Aliyev spoke of positive changes in Sumgait. He expressed confidence that on October 15 Sumgait people would vote for succession of Heydar Aliyev’s course.
Mayor of Sumgait Vagif Aliyev said that main heroes of the holiday are city veterans and ordinary workers.
The event was followed by a concert performed by masters of Arts of Azerbaijan.

text: Bobby Bradley, the former Harrison Central High standout, will not be on Cleveland’s opening day roster, the team announced. Bradley was competing at first base this spring with the more experienced Jake Bauers. Bradley is hitting .303 in the Cactus League to Bauer’s .200, but Bauers is out of minor league options. Bradley, who played briefly in the majors in 2019, is not. Bradley has big-time power and no doubt will get to Cleveland sometime this season. … Though Minnesota has not named a starting left fielder, signs point to Brent Rooker, the Mississippi State product whose 2020 debut was curtailed by an injury. Rooker, batting .286 with a home run this spring, was in the lineup, in left and batting fifth, for today’s Grapefruit League game against Atlanta. Rooker’s competition is 29-year-old journeyman Kyle Garlick, another right-handed hitter who has four homers this spring. Rooker’s defense still needs polish, but the Twins, who made him the 35th overall pick in the 2017 draft, seem to love the thunder in his bat. “You’re looking for ways to get a guy like that in the lineup because you know he can do damage, you know he can be a very productive major league offensive player,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said in an mlb.com piece. “That’s something that we can say with some certainty and feel good about it.” … Outfielder Eloy Jimenez’s injury surely increases the chances that Taylorsville’s Billy Hamilton will make the Chicago White Sox’s 26-man roster. The speedy outfielder is in camp on a minor league deal. … Ex-State standout Jonathan Holder, battling for a bullpen role with the Chicago Cubs, is on the shelf with a “pec injury” and may be on the injured list when the season starts. He put up an 8.10 ERA in four games this spring. The veteran right-hander was signed in December after five seasons with the New York Yankees, for whom he posted a 4.38 ERA in 157 games. He reportedly still has minor league options remaining. … The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation is accepting applications through April 23 for the 10-week Charley Pride Fellowship Program, an internship designed to promote diversity. The Grammy-winning Pride, a Sledge native who played minor league ball, was a part-owner of the Rangers for a time and was often around the team. A field at the team’s spring training complex bears his name. Pride died in 2020. … Zack Shannon, the former Delta State slugger, recently was released by Arizona. He hit .289 with 26 home runs in two seasons in the low minors. He blasted 50 homers — a school and state record 31 as a senior — in two years at DSU.

Good morning and welcome to this week’s Midweek tease. Since we are so close to Valentine’s day, I thought I would tease from Hello Again, my romantic suspense novel with more than a little paranormal in it. Love transcends time and space, right?
For Charley Winters love means loss and pain. She’s spent the last five years struggling with her grief. Existing, not living. Drawn to Saskatchewan, she travels west take the job she’s always wanted. But life gets complicated when she’s rescued from a vicious tornado by her dead husband’s double, a man who makes her feel things she hasn’t in years. Add to that a native myth, a shaman, a green-eyed wolf, and her husband’s ghost … Can she lift a millennia old curse and find joy and love again?
Here’s this week’s tease:
She’d told Phil she’d sprinkled Mike’s ashes on the wind the day after the funeral. She’d driven near the place where Mike had rescued the wolf, but the truth was she hadn’t even been able to get out of the car. She couldn’t let the ashes go. If she did, she’d be truly alone, and she’d never survive that final separation. No, she’d cling to Mike and her memories until her number was up, and while she prayed it would be soon, she was convinced her prayers fell on deaf ears.
“I love you, Mike,” she said caressing the urn as she done so many times recently. “I understand why your mother did what she did. Some losses are too painful to accept. I’m as trapped here as you are.”
The letter Mike had left for her, the one he’d written before he’d been deployed, sat on the coffee table, now covered with watermarks from the glasses littering its wooden surface. She reached over and picked up the sheet of paper. His instructions were specific, but she’d never be able to follow through with his requests. It wasn’t fair of him to expect her to.
“Damn you, Mike for dying, for leaving me this way. You didn’t have the right,” she said aloud, her voice echoing in the empty room. Drawn to the page, she read the words once more although she didn’t need to. Each one was engraved on a piece of her shattered heart.
If you’re reading this, it’s because I let you down. I didn’t come back to you the way I promised, and I’ll always regret not being able to look into those baby blues of yours, and say goodbye. I never thought it would come to this, that we’d have so little time together. I wanted to take care of you, make you happy, and spend the rest of my days telling you how thankful I am that you are part of my life. We knew this might happen, and it was a choice we made when I enlisted and you married me, but saying goodbye like this is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be.
You’re the light of my life. I imagine our children running around the house, around that garage we were going to open—a boy who’d resemble me, a little girl who’d look just like her mama. We’d grow old together doing the things we loved, checking off each item on that bucket list we made before we were married.
I still want you to do those things, babe, even if I can’t be there to do them with you. There isn’t a lot of insurance money—I always meant to get more, but there was always something else that needed to be done, and since I expected to be there, earning it side by side, I figured fifty grand was enough.
There were so many things I wanted to show you, places I wanted to take you, but you’ll have to find someone else to do those things with now. That’s right. Once I’m gone, you need to move on.
I can hear you saying no, see you shaking your head, but you need to listen to me. I know you’re still mourning your father, but you have to let me go, let both of us go, and the best way to do it is to get rid of the things chaining you to the past—like that old car you baby all the time. You need something safe and reliable. You may be the best damn mechanic in the world, but eventually, a car needs to be scrapped. As far as I go, I’ve left instructions with Phil to cremate my body as quickly as he can after my death. I know you’ll want to see me, but babe, I want you to remember me the way I was when I was with you. Scatter my ashes on the wind. Don’t keep me cooped up in a fancy vase or box like my mother kept my dad. Once that’s done, I need you to open your heart and find a good man, a decent man who’ll love you and make you happy. I’d find one for you, if I could, but there are some things you’ll have to do for yourself.
I don’t know what there is after death, and religion wasn’t part of my life growing up, but when I think of moving on like this, I’m reminded of the stories my grandfather told. He was fascinated by his First Nations’ ancestor, even if he couldn’t claim status. The Sioux believed that the living and the dead lived together, even if only the shamans could see those who’d died. If that’s true, I’ll never leave you. I’ll watch out for you in any way I can. You won’t see me, hear me, or feel me, but I’ll be there waiting for the day when I can say hello again.
Right now, I can picture you standing there, tears running down your cheeks, and that’s the last thing I want. I know how stubborn you can be, but Charley, this is important for both of us, so please, mourn a little like I know you need to, but then move on.
Live, love, laugh, darling. Enjoy life the way you were meant to. I’ll always love you, now and forever,
She swiped at the tears that crept down her cheeks.
“You’re wrong, Mike. I’ll never be happy again. The only way there’ll ever be a man in my life, is if you find a way to come back to me, because I’m not going looking for one. So ‘Rescues Wolf Pup and Gets into Trouble,’ if I can’t have you here and now, I’ll wait until we can be together, but don’t make me wait too long.”
Now, please visit the rest of this week’s teasers.

Spotlight: Andrew Bird - Hands of Glory [Mom + Pop]
Of course Andrew Bird drops a second full-length in a year to add to his huge discography. Far from excessive though, Hands of Glory complements its predecessor Break It Yourself with more personal, stripped down musical vignettes. Bird's soulful violin almost takes on the joyfulness of a fiddle as it becomes a lively, vocalized companion. Probably one of Bird's most cohesive albums, Hands of Glory sounds like the story that he never told. With string plucks and multi-layer harmonies, it's as if Bird himself is sitting down next to us, recounting friendly tales by a warming fire.
Chad Valley - Young Hunger [Cascine]
Writing for Under The Radar, Kenny McGuane says it best: "Drenched in reverb, programming and swirly synths, Young Hunger is the full realization of the sound Manuel’s been refining as Chad Valley for the last couple of years, though it’s markedly less “tropical.” It’s also no more or less referential than anything else going on in pop music, and even if Manuel’s a better producer and pop visionary than he is a singer, Young Hunger is still a delightfully shameless, anthemic embrace of young love, keyboard wizardry, the ’80s, and the ’90s."
GR - A Reverse Age [Mexican Summer]
French artist Gregory Raimo is a mysterious man. Having tread the experimental rock scene with Gunslingers, A Reverse Age, from his solo project, is even stranger. Unintelligible warble (or are those just heavily manipulated vocals?) sprinkled on speeding explosions of guitar riffs set the stage for an appropriate near-Halloween release date.
Luke Lalonde - Rhythymnals [Paper Bag]
Born Ruffian's Luke Lalonde's debut solo album takes slightly more chances than the former usually does. The opening track opens with about two minutes of synth drone before settling into the recognizable, energetic lilt of Lalonde's usual repertoire. Rhythymnals overall shows Lalonde's wide range, from idiosyncratic to touching ballads, striking a balance fit for a debut solo release.
The Soft Moon - Zeros [Captured Tracks]
Here's another album to add to the Halloween playlist. Creepy breathing, ominous synths and garbled vocals are all part of The Soft Moon's recipe for some witchy, no-wave post-punk that's just haunting enough to be smartly put together.
Borko - Born to be Free [Morr]
Indian Handcrafts - Civil Disobedience For Lovers [Sargent House]
Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Psychedelic Pill [Reprise]

Here are five more unseen cars from DC Design
DC S Concept
The DC S Concept was showcased at the 2008 Auto Expo and attracted a lot of attention. The model never into production but it is said to be one of the best designs by DC. The two-seater sports car gets inspired from the Audi R8 design.
The concept model was powered by 3-litre twin turbo engine, but the source is not known. As per DC, the car could do 0-100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and could reach a top speed of 300 km/h.
DC Design took a Tata Sierra and modified it to look like this. The Arya was made a public appearance in 1998. DC built four of these examples. The Arya comes with 4X4 capabilities just like the Sierra.
There is a plastic cladding all around the vehicle. The extended chassis of the Sierra has been shortened, and body is completely fabricated. There are fat tyres with deep dish rims too.
The Tata Safari based Quadro was one of the first few cars built by DC Design. The car gets a fabricated body with two doors instead of four. To give it a stylish look, DC has also added fake air scoops on the bonnet.
The rear part gets a different coloured shell with fixed glass. The Quadro carries the 4X4 system from the Safari too. The tyres are also bigger with deep dish rims.
The Chinese term roughly translates into “dark-bright”. The Ying Yang showcased by DC Design at the 2010 Auto Expo mimics the legendary VW bus. The modification job is based on the Mahindra Voyager.
The people’s transporter gets a single door on the left-hand side. There are LED lamps around the corners. The tyres have been upgraded to whopping 23-inches. DC mentioned nothing about the engine and transmission of the concept.
While the full form of the acronym B.T.S. is not known, the modified vehicle is based on the Maruti 800. DC has ripped apart the original car has put a newly fabricated body on the chassis.
The B.T.S. is now a two-seater coupe and gets modern styling features. The wheel arches are flared while there are rear air-intake vents. The headlamps have been upgraded to sleeker ones and get projector lamps too.

Prep 5 mins
Cook 5 hrs
Can use bratwurst or Polish sausage instead of hot dogs. Serve with cornbread.
- 1 lb hot dog, each cut into 4 pieces
- 3 (15 ounce) cans pork and beans in tomato sauce, undrained
- 1⁄2 cup ketchup
- 1⁄4 cup finely chopped onion (1/2 medium)
- 1⁄4 cup molasses
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- In 3-1/2 quart to 4-quart slow cooker; mix ingredients.
- Cover; cook on Low heat setting 5 to 6 hours.
A nice variation of the usual, more simplified version of beans and wieners. 2 adults were eating this, so I doubled the amount of onions. I had purchased a couple of packages of Jennie O Turkey dogs on sale awhile back, and this was a good way to use up one of the 12oz packages. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly, except after 4 hrs, I turned the crock pot to high for 45 mins. Thanks, carolinafan!
This is great!!! I made beans and Wieners to go with Mac and Cheese Dinner for a house full of children. I have you know they ate me out of house and home..LOL..They really had a grand time..I really a grand time with them also..Thank You for a Really "KID" Frindly recipe. Hugs

Maintain Good Oral Health in NOLA
Cavities are caused by certain bacteria in the mouth that use sugar as an energy source. The bacteria consume the sugar and produce an acid which dissolves the tooth structure. Very tiny cavities can be arrested or stopped with proper oral hygiene, reduced sugar intake, and the use of fluoride. The fluoride helps to rebuild the weakened enamel while proper oral hygiene and reduced sugar intake helps to keep the cavity-causing bacteria in check.

The human brain is the most advanced organ, and while there are animals that show heightened intelligence, no other animal on the planet comes close to our mental capacity. To call it a supercomputer would be an understatement with how many processes it carries out and the information it decodes regularly. According to a study conducted in 2015, the human brain on average has a storage memory of about 2.5 million gigabytes. With such a complex organ, some things are bound to go wrong, and when it does, we come across one of the most detrimental mental disorders, i.e., Alzheimer’s disease. It is a form of Dementia, in which a person’s ability to think, behave, and socialize regresses constantly. Here are some facts about this disease:
1. Higher Among Women
Statistics provided by numerous studies around the world show that women are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease compared to men, twice as much to be precise. A study conducted in Sweden with 16,926 people over the age of 65, found that a higher number of women of the same age had developed symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Another study found that 13 women out of 1,000 develop Alzheimer’s disease each year.
Worldwide, women with dementia outnumber men 2 to 1 – why is that?
There are many factors as to why more women are affected by dementia than men, from aging to hormones. This #InternationalWomensDay, read more on the research behind dementia in women: https://t.co/1U0ghBs8Fg

2. Why Are Women at a Higher Risk?
According to the result of Alzheimer’s research carried out by the Harvard Medical School, it is because of their stronger immune system. Alzheimer’s disease is caused by amyloid plaques, and researchers believe that women’s immune systems might be increasing it to fight against infections. Unsurprisingly, the number of recorded cases for autoimmune diseases around the world also has a higher number of women patients.
3. Women to the Rescue
While it is true that women are more likely to suffer from this disease, they are also the ones in higher numbers when it comes to providing for Alzheimer’s patients. Statistics show that three out of five Alzheimer’s caregivers are women. Additionally, it is noted that on average there are 2.5 times more full-time women caregivers than men. Also, women at 19% are more likely to quit their jobs to become full-time caregivers.
4. Not Rare
Among all the types of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2020, there were almost 5.8 million cases of Alzheimer’s disease in the United States alone. Also, it is stated that every 5 years the number of people with this disease doubles after the age of 65. Moreover, these out-of-proportion numbers are not just in the United States, as in the United Kingdom, in 2019, it was reported that 850,000 people were living with dementia, which roughly means every person among 14 people had Alzheimer’s disease.
5. Not just limited to Elderly
Although people over the age of 65 are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, it is not exclusive to the elder population. When a young person starts showing symptoms of dementia, it is referred to as Young-onset or Early on-set Alzheimer’s. Moreover, it is not uncommon either, among all the people that have Alzheimer’s disease, about 6% are people under the age of 65. In the United States, it is said that about 200,000 people have young-onset Alzheimer’s. Plus, Alzheimer’s starts developing as early as the age of 35.
6. Discovered in the Last Century
The Discovery of this disease is credited to a German researcher and pathologist, Alois Alzheimer. He was born in Bavaria, and following his graduation in 1887, he began working at the state asylum in Frankfurt. Alois became fascinated with the neurological workings of the brain during this time, and he conducted his research, which he published in the years between 1907 and 1918. However, he was invited to present a talk at the 37th Congress of Psychiatrists of Southern Germany in 1906, where he first described his findings as an “unusual disease of the cerebral cortex” in a patient named, Auguste D. During this talk, he stated that the symptoms are loss of memory, disorientation, and hallucinations that worsen until the death of the patient at the age of 50. An autopsy was conducted, and Alois found that the cerebral cortex was significantly thinner compared to a normal brain. Interestingly, the disease was named by one of Alois’ assistants, Emil Kraepelin.
7. Smell and the Brain
While it is not accepted fully in the medical community, some experts believe that lack of smell or reduced smell (hyposmia) are early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. A study was conducted in the United States with 3,000 people of age between 57 and 85. It was found that among the participants who had a poor sense of smell developed Alzheimer’s disease within 5 years of the study, independent of other risk factors. The reason behind this is given that cognitive impairment results in compromised control of sense of smell.
8. Troubling Statistics
According to experts, the causes of Alzheimer’s disease will increase tremendously. in 2020, 55 million people were diagnosed with this disease, and this number is likely to jump 139 million by the end of 2050. Moreover, according to the Alzheimer’s Disease International, a new case of dementia arises every 3 seconds. It is said that if dementia was a country, it would be the 14th largest economy in the world. While it doesn’t sound bad until you realize that, presently, Australia is in the 13th spot.
9. Affecting Others
Patients with Alzheimer’s disease require extensive care, and that is a well-known fact; however, over 50% of the caregivers worldwide accepted that their mental health has also suffered significantly while caring for the patients. Expressing positive emotions was among one of the biggest challenges for them, and a majority of caregivers develop depression while caring for patients.
10. It’s Deadly
Alzheimer’s Association state that it is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States, and it is rapidly increasing among the population. It is a neurological disorder that affects the patient by halting the transmission of brain signals. In the final stages of Alzheimer’s, patients begin to lose their ability to communicate whatsoever, and even stop responding to their surroundings. When the brain is damaged significantly, its ability to regulate the functions of vital organs such as lungs, heart, and metabolism stops causing the death of the patient.
One of the most devastating facts about this disease is that, presently, there is no cure available for it. Although scientists are continuously working on vaccines, so far they have been unsuccessful. Still, if Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed early on, treatments are available that can prolong its effects and allow one to live normally for a longer duration.
12. Partner in Crime
Alzheimer’s being an incurable disease makes it a particularly difficult medical condition; however, in all the cases of Alzheimer’s disease, it was noted that all the patients had some form of chronic disease as well. A report provided by the Health News US shows that nearly 60% of Alzheimer’s patients had chronic high blood pressure, patients with coronary artery disease accounted for 26%, closely followed by 23% of diabetics, and 18% had some form of bone disorder such as osteoporosis.
13. Alters the Brain Structure
There have been countless studies that prove that the brain can change its shape depending on the person’s experience. Neuroplasticity is the field of study that deals exclusively with this, although the brain doesn’t change drastically, the structure of neurons does, which transmits signals. While Alzheimer’s disease is known to damage the neurons, new studies are surfacing that show that it also alters their structure. Mainly it affects the cerebral cortex of the brain, and it alters the structure of ventricles by either enlargening or shrinking them. Due to this change in the brain certain body parts struggle to perform their designated tasks, such as the eye’s ability to detect movement.
14. Emotions are Intact
According to BBC News, people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease still retain a deeper emotional memory contrary to the accepted belief. Researchers claim that patients may not greet or respond like they used to; however, meeting their loved ones generate strong emotions in them despite not knowing the reason behind it. Sadly, when a survey was conducted by the BBC, nearly 42% of people thought that staying in touch with their family members who had Alzheimer’s is pointless. Moreover, as the disease progresses, patients tend to become agitated and sleepless, which results in verbal and physical aggression.
15. Learning is the Key
Since it is proven that the brain changes its structure as new information is collected and experiences are gained, among them, learning has been seen to significantly increase the rate at which the brain changes its neurons, and learning a new language, playing music, or a new set of skills can lower the chances of developing Alzheimer’s decreases significantly. According to Professor Carol Brayne from the University of Cambridge, the risk of dementia decreases by 11% each year that is spent learning. His statement was based on an extensive 20 years-long study that he conducted with a team of physicians from the UK and Finland. Moreover, this is among only three studies of its kind. In total, 872 patients over the age of 65 took a part in this study, and all of them provided consent for an autopsy following their death, and it was found that the ones who had spent years learning new activities didn’t develop dementia.
16. Saviour Bonds
Similar to engaging in new learning opportunities, developing a higher number of social connections also help in minimizing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. According to Alzheimer’s Association, social interactions provide mental stimulation that strengthens the connection between the nerve cells.
17. It’s Political
Out of the recorded cases of dementia in the world, nearly 60% of them are from below-average income, living in third-world nations. According to Alzheimer’s Disease International, this number is likely to reach 71% in 2050. The stress of bringing food to the table certainly takes its toll.

Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai is back with its take 2. The old comic show is back after 7 years with new characters but hasn’t lost their previous job of making other people laugh. Sarabhai house, Maya’s (Ratna Pathak Shah) ‘elite-class’ attitude vs Monisha’s ‘middle-class, down-market’ habits, Rosesh’s meaningless yet funny poetry, Sahil’s helplessness and Indravadan’s (Satish Shah) sarcastic take on every topic, everything remains just the same except that a few new characters have been introduced and the setting of the show has changed.
The crazy Sarabhai family now lives in penthouses because their old apartments are under renovation, not to mention Monisha’s apartment is still filled with litter all around, while Maya’s apartment is spick and span.
The show begins with the family stuck in a bus which is about to fall off a cliff and Maya blames Monisha for hiring an ‘alcoholic’ driver, and the fun part is how she defends herself by stating that she hired the ‘alcoholic driver’ despite knowing that he had been challenged. Later, Rosesh’s delivery of his disgusting poetic masterpiece and Indravadan’s one-liners was fun to watch.
Soon after, the viewers are welcomed by Sahil into their penthouse and clearly explained what led to the situationThere are new characters in Take 2 like Monisha and Sahil’s seven-year-old son Arnab, Maya and Indravadan’s daughter Sonia and of Jasmine Mavani, Rosesh’s fellow theatre artist.
Overall, They have managed to retain its old charm but blended it with new touch. The first episode of this season is already out on hotstar and new show will be aired every Tuesday.

Two Years After West Explosion, No Action from #TXLege
Two years after the explosion at a West fertilizer plant killed 15 Texans and drove hundreds out of their homes, the Texas Legislature has done nothing to prevent future disasters.
And unless legislation to increase public safety starts moving quickly, any chance for reform may die by the time the Legislature leaves town in just under 50 days.
At that point, Texans will have to "just drive around" if they want to feel more safe near potentially explosive fertilizer plants.
J.B. Smith of the Waco Tribune laid it out well in a story two weeks ago:
Nearly two years after a fire set off a deadly ammonium nitrate explosion at the West Fertilizer Co., Texas businesses selling the chemical aren’t subject to any new laws, and only a handful store it in fireproof buildings as experts recommend, state officials said.
Now the window of opportunity for state-level reform of ammonium nitrate safety standards may be closing.
Three separate bills, by Democrats and Republicans, would improve public safety at Texas' fertilizer plants. But none of them seem to have a chance of moving this session.
The Waco Tribune lays out what all three bills would do.
The House Committee on Environmental Regulation heard one bill by Rep. Joe Pickett, D-El Paso, that would allow the state fire marshal to set standards for storing the fertilizer. It heard another bill from committee member Rep. Kyle Kacal, R-College Station, that would allow the fire marshal to inspect ammonium nitrate facilities but not to set rules for them.
And a third, by committee member Rep. Eddie Rodriguez, D-Austin, would require ammonium nitrate facilities to carry liability insurance, in an amount to be determined by the Texas Department of Insurance.
The three bills all propose simple, common-sense fixes.
Unfortunately, in a Tea Party legislature obsessed with deregulation, common sense is their last priority.

You know Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel painting of the Hands of God and Adam? Well I had the privilege of viewing what I thought was a “live” look in Rome about 25 years ago. But I didn’t really see it “live” until yesterday. Right in the Campus Center terrace.
That’s where we celebrated Philanthropy Week with a special table for students to come and hand write a note to our generous donors.
Hundreds of them did! And each time, another student enthusiastically and willingly approached our table to draft their note, I saw those two hands touching again and again.
It was powerful. I only wish Michelangelo could have been there.

Research on the massive increase in global Entrepreneurship
More people than ever want to become Entrepreneurs.
It is based on:
- Interest (record levels)
- Necessity (jobs are disappearing at light speed)
More an more people know that the old industrial model is dying. Or rather, it is dead its just that some people do not know it yet. In the US tens of thousands of people have sued the government for time and money spent on something that did not provide them with a job. In India its been reported that only about 7% of people with a university degree are getting jobs.
Here is Richard Branson on universities and entrepreneurship.

This book, and the excellent essays within, were the first to take Robert E. Howard and his work seriously and to consider Robert E. Howard a major literary figure. The essay, "The Dark Barbarian," sprung into existence as a continuation of an argument first begun by Don Herron in "Conan vs Conantics" Two-Gun Raconteur 3, where he argues that there is an intrinsic, and unfortunate, difference between the conception of Howard's original Conan character and the conception of the character as portrayed in the imitations.
These two measures resulted in millions of deaths. Though confined to a single state i. Would Earth be released? In the uncensored version of his later party autobiography, Dovzhenko would apologize for his misalignment with state policy thus: I conceived Earth as a work that would herald the beginning of a new life in the villages.
But the liquidation of the kulaks as a class and collectivization - events of tremendous political significance that occurred when the film had been completed and was ready to be released - made my statement weak and ineffectual.
At the Central Committee in Ukraine I was told that I had brought shame on Ukrainian culture with my work and my behaviour was called to order. A statement of repentance was demanded from me, but I went abroad for about four and a half months. Uprisings were provoked among the peasant populace and Stalin took a brief step back.
On March 15,the peasants were permitted to resign from the collective farms and reclaim property if they so chose. Soviet Collectivization Village Propaganda The Poster Reads "On our collective there is no room for priests or kulaks" Shortly after this time, Dovzhenko and his wife, Julia Solntseva, travelled through Europe demonstrating and speaking about Earth.
From his letters it is clear that Dovzhenko had little desire to return to the situation in Ukraine. As his correspondence to Eisenstein in the United States suggests, Dovzhenko wished to emigrate .
In Ukraine, it became clear to the Bolsheviks that without force and coercion the collective farm would disintegrate. For both andMoscow raised the Ukrainian quota for grain deliveries by an impossible percent. Petric notes, From the outset, Soviet silent films released in the U.
On the other side the advocates of Soviet films were mainly young film-makers and theoreticians grouped around New York leftist publications, members of the Communist Party or the Socialist and Liberal organizations, who were ideologically along the same line with the subject matter of Soviet revolutionary films.

Many of the arguments against the film had less to do with the film itself than with what the film, in contemporaneous socio-political debates, was presenting, or, more often than not, omitting.

What it received was a complex philosophical meditation on life and death. Ironically, even in his pedestrian versification, Bedny is correct in his argument. Dovzhenko does not present facile division between evil kulaks and goodhearted, simple-minded, party-obedient peasants but appropriates a slight narrative to accomplish something on a more complex level.THE BLACK DEATH ESSAY.
INTRODUCTION In , endemic to Asia, The Black Death began spreading throughout Western Europe. Over the time of three years, the plague killed one third of the population in Europe with roughly twenty five million people dead.
The Black Death killed more Europeans than any other endemic or war up to that time. The Black Death or The Black Plague, as it is known in history, was the worst disaster in medical history to date considering it proportionately (more than 40 percent mortality rate).
It was so devastating in its effect that within 3 years time () the whole Europe was made aware of its dark presence in.
