He who sits still in a house all the time may be the greatest vagrant of all; but the saunterer, in the good sense, is no more vagrant than the meandering river, which is all the while sedulously seeking the shortest course to the sea. But I prefer the first, which, indeed, is the most probable derivation. For every walk is a sort of crusade, preached by some Peter the Hermit in us, to go forth and reconquer this Holy Land from the hands of the Infidels.
Life consists with wildness. The most alive is the wildest. Not yet subdued to man, its presence refreshes him. One who pressed forward incessantly and never rested from his labors, who grew fast and made infinite demands on life, would always find himself in a new country or wilderness, and surrounded by the raw material of life. He would be climbing over the prostrate stems of primitive forest-trees.
A truly good book is something as natural, and as unexpectedly and unaccountably fair and perfect, as a wild-flower discovered on the prairies of the West or in the jungles of the East. Genius is a light which makes the darkness visible, like the lightning's flash, which perchance shatters the temple of knowledge itself,—and not a taper lighted at the hearth-stone of the race, which pales before the light of common day.
There is plenty of genial love of Nature, but not so much of Nature herself. Her chronicles inform us when her wild animals, but not when the wild man in her, became extinct.
The partridge loves peas, but not those that go with her into the pot.
The wildness of the savage is but a faint symbol of the awful ferity with which good men and lovers meet.
Who but the Evil One has cried "Whoa!" to mankind?
" is an essay written by Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau was an American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, and leading transcendentalist...
, . Between 1851 and 1860 Thoreau read the piece a total of ten times, more than any other of his lectures. He considered it one of his seminal works, so much so, that he once wrote of the lecture, “I regard this as a sort of introduction to all that I may write hereafter.”
Thoreau constantly reworked and revised the piece throughout the 1850’s, calling the essay “Walking.” Also at this time he was working on another piece called “The Wild.” Sometimes he would deliver one of the essays, while at other times he would read the other. Sometimes he would combine the two and call it, “Walking; or, The Wild.” “Walking” was published postumously after Thoreau's death on May 6, 1862. It appeared in the June 1862 issue of the Atlantic Monthly.
It is the source of the quote:

", it has become one of the most important essays in the environmental movement.
Relationship between civilization and wilderness...Thoreau neither rejected civilization nor fully embraced wilderness. Instead he sought a middle ground, the pastoral realm that integrates both nature and civilization.
In the essay, “Walking,” by Henry David Thoreau, one of the “Seven Elements in Nature Writing,” which is continuous throughout the entire essay, is the philosophy of nature. Thoreau begins his three-part essay by referring to human’s role in nature “as an inhabitant, or a part or parcel of Nature.” He later criticizes members of society for their lack of such a relationship with nature. Furthermore, Thoreau also uses an experience from his own life to represent a personal account in nature, more specifically his experiences while walking into the forest near his property. Socioeconomic politics can be seen in this essay when Thoreau analyzes building development as a taming and cheapening of the landscape. Thoreau brings the reader into a spiritual realm when he associates the divinity of nature and the spirit of walking with Christianity and Greek Mythology. In addition, when describing the Mississippi River, Thoreau describes the river as a kind of enchanted Holy Land.
Throughout all parts of the essay, including Thoreau’s description of an ecological psychology and philosophy on nature, the use of figurative language is prevalent. Before one can truly become a Walker, one must be prepared to “send our embalmed hearts only, as relics to our desolate kingdoms” (Thoreau 1). Thoreau uses a simile to describe a village with roads springing from it as a lake with rivers springing from it. He also uses rhetorical questions and hypophoras to impact the reader; after describing the mythological wonders Thoreau sees while witnessing a sunset, he uses a rhetorical question to challenge the reader about whether they have looked at the sunset without imagining the mythological wonders themselves.
This essay is divided into three distinct parts. One commonality in this reading is that each part relates nature to being good and each part provides a piece of poetry to help illustrate this. In the first part the reader, who is probably the general public, develops a sense of inferiority. The author asserts that the kind of relationship he has with nature is one that is innate. In part two, the author speaks of nature as magical and criticizes the negative effects American society has had on the environment. In the third part, Thoreau leaves us stimulating our sensitivity toward the existence of nature and the spirituality it beholds. The structuring of the essay into three parts is effective in progressively showing that walking goes beyond the physical activity, but into an appreciation of nature.
Concerning Thoreau’s stance, this essay seems to arise out of the author’s negative view of American society, and is an attempt to open-up the reader’s sensitivity toward nature. At times he seems like a preacher at mass, using personal experiences with nature and relating those experiences to a higher being. The author effectively influences the reader to believe he or she is part of a Holy Land; the Holy Land has a personality, much like that of the reader. However, if the reader only sees nature to be instrumentally valuable, this reading may not be very effective in addressing the ecological effects of environmental degradation.
"I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society".
"Let me live where I will, on this side is the city, on that the wilderness, and ever I am leaving the city more and more, and withdrawing into the wilderness".
"Ben Jonson exclaims: 'How near to good is what is fair.'
So I would say: 'How near to good is what is wild.'"
"Here is this vast, savage, hovering mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man"...
"So we saunter toward the Holy Land, till one day the sun shall shine more brightly than ever he has done, shall perchance shine into our minds and hearts, and light up our whole lives with a great awakening light, as warm and serene and golden as on a bankside in autumn".
Walden is an American book written by noted Transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau...


The Seattle Mariners couldn't buy a walk in 2011. The M's had the second-lowest rate of free passes taken (7.3 percent) among AL clubs and, in a related note, placed dead last in on-base percentage (.292) and runs scored (556). Seattle's newest acquisition, John Jaso, should provide the M's with some much-needed plate discipline. The lefty hitter, picked up from Tampa Bay for reliever Josh Lueke, couldn't be more different than the man he'll now platoon with, Miguel Olivo.
During his major league career, Jaso has swung at just 34 percent of the pitches seen. Only Luis Castillo, Nick Johnson, Bobby Abreu and Brett Gardner have pulled the trigger less often among hitters with 500+ plate appearances from 2008-2011. He has chased 20 percent of pitches thrown out of the strike zone, one of the lowest 20 rates among MLB hitters. Check out Jaso's swing rate by pitch location, compared to the league average. Unless it's high and tight, he's probably keeping the bat glued to his shoulder:
The exception to Jaso's ultra-passive approach is two-strike situations. When the pitcher has him down to his last strike, he swings about 57 percent of the time. That's still below the 61 percent average in such situations, but not by a whole lot. And when he swings, he rarely comes up empty: Jaso has a 12 percent miss rate both in two-strike counts and overall, compared to the 20-21 percent MLB average in both situations.
By working deep counts and avoiding strikeouts, Jaso has walked more than he has whiffed (12.1 BB%, 11.4 K%). That has allowed him to get on base at a .340 clip and be a league-average hitter (101 wRC+) despite possessing little pop and posting a mid-.260s batting average on balls in play indicative of a slow-footed backstop. If you're holding off a bathroom stop or a beer run for a Jaso at-bat, you might be a while.
With Olivo, on the other hand, you'll be at the stall or sipping a Coors in no time. The righty batter has swung at about 57 percent of pitches seen since 2008. Pablo Sandoval, Delmon Young, Jake Fox, Vladimir Guerrero and Humberto Quintero are the only 500+ PA hitters to take a cut more often. And Olivo's 41 percent chase rate is surpassed by that of only Fox, Mark Trumbo, A.J. Pierzynski, Sandoval, Guerrero and Quintero. If it's anywhere near the dish, Olivo starts salivating:
With two strikes, Olivo has swung 68 percent of the time over the past four seasons. While Jaso avoids the Ks, Olivo has swung and missed 35 percent of the time in two-strike counts and 36 percent of the time overall.
With such a hack-happy approach, Olivo has struck out over six times as often as he has walked in recent years (4.4 BB%, 27.9 K%) and has a .283 OBP. His only redeeming feature at the plate is that he'll hit some moon shots in between all of those outs, making him a passable bat for the position (86 wRC+).
Assuming Jaso gets the bulk of the ABs, the trade with Tampa should work out pretty well. Jaso gives the M's a hitter with a with a clue at the plate and limits Olivo to a lefty-lashing role he's best suited for (he's got a career .277/.311/.487 line in 1,030 PA against lefties, compared to .229/.265/.395 in 2,535 PA against right-handers). Just don't expect Jaso and Olivo to share too many batting tips with each other.

Built For Love IV. -KODAI-JI TEMPLE KYOTO, JAPAN - Master of Ceremony recommends for U
The Kodai-Ji temple is one of Japan’s most important cultural properties. It was built by Kita-no-Mandokoro (also known as Nene), the wife of eminent warrior, general and politician of the Sengoku period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Nene was more than a wife to Hideyoshi; she was his closest confidant and aide. The daughter of a samurai, Nene was intelligent and often advised her husband on state matters. She also helped advance her husband’s political career through her strong familial connections. Upon Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s death in 1598, Nene became a Buddhist nun and founded the Kodai-Ji temple, where her husband, mother-in-law and stepson are buried.

Many neighborhoods within the city of Buffalo have a high percentage of depopulated neighborhoods and vacant lots. The city also has great need for more housing as our population is growing and is expected to experience more growth in the next decade. The housing market in Buffalo is experiencing a resurgence, with many new structures and rehabilitation efforts throughout the city.
Single lot interventions are a step in the right direction, but are usually too small to be a catalyst for lasting change and require development of existing networks and services beyond the means of small developers. Large scale developments also face their own challenges such as lack of unique character, and difficulty fitting in with existing communities. Both are islands within the city. This begs the question : how do we create infill housing with positive transformative qualities?
The first half of the semester was dedicated to developing proposals for student cooperative housing in University Heights on single infill lots. The second half explored opportunities for multi-lot infill senior cooperative housing within a community on the East Side. Students worked in small groups to define a neighborhood social structure and design common spaces. Each individual developed ‘unit’ proposals within this network.

After years as a music exec, Lil Bibby is hinting at his retirement.
In a suspicious IG post, Bibby said, “I’m gonna do it one more time and then I’m quitting this sh*t.” A Twitter user assumed that Bibby meant that Bibby was dropping his final album Free Crack 4 with a handful of Juice Wrld features. The Chicago-native followed up with, “No, I meant I’m signing one more artist lol.”
Tommaso Boddi/Getty ImagesLil Bibby first broke onto the scene with his 2013 mixtape Free Crack. His debut mixtape led to two more Free Crack releases and Big Buckz. Bibby later signed to RCA Records and Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records before dropping Free Crack 3: The Epilogue EP. He would part ways with RCA soon after.
For the past few years, Bibby had dedicated much of his time to establishing his label, Grade A Productions, alongside his brother George “G Money” Dickinson. Their first signee, Juice WRLD landed in the No. 1 spot on the U.S Billboard 200 for his second solo album, Death Race for Love. On Dec. 8, 2019, Juice WRLD passed away due to an accidental overdose following a flight back to Chicago. Since his passing, his camp has released two posthumous albums, Legends Never Die and Demons.
Since signing Juice WRLD to Grade A Productions, Bibby has signed The Kid Laroi, Clever, Seezyn. The Kid Laroi separated from Grade A Productions back in June of last year.
The rapper-turned music exec has yet to announce if he will come out of retirement and give his fans Free Crack 4.

Two decades after that beloved SoCal alt rock band Oingo Boingo broke up, Johnny Vatos’ Oingo Boingo Dance Party is gaining a significant fan base.
Vatos’ Boingo Dance Party, which features six members of that original group and are led by the original Boingo’s Mohawk-topped drummer, played a packed to the rafters Orange County House of Blues Saturday night.
There are several reasons for the growing popularity of this terrific 12-piece outfit.
First, there’s the music.
Former frontman Danny Elfman’s energetic, often quirky songs popularized by the band throughout the ‘80s have stood the test of time exceedingly well.
Second, this band of new and former members performs these songs with irresistible fun and vitality and their reputation for killer shows is growing.
Third, it helps that Elfman has given his personal endorsement to the band.
Finally, Brendan McCreary, who joined the group a few years ago, has grown as frontman to the point where he’s truly fabulous. He’s become one of the best in the business.
His blend of rock singer and stream of consciousness performance artist bounding and dancing about the stage like no one else while utilizing an diverse array of vocal dynamics, from a whisper to long-held screams brings Elfman’s lyrics to life in a way that’s all his own.
He is not a caricature of Elfman, not at all – they are two very different performers. It’s hard to take your eyes off McCreary, despite all the other stuff going on by this most visual of bands.
The show’s opening was a lot of fun.
Boingo Dance Party keyboardist Doug Lacy, a former ‘90s Boingo member, hidden in a big, baggy green Mr. Oogie Boogie suit dancing around taunting a tie-up Santa who was also being taunted by red Satan who was dressed all in red.
Lacy sang and bellowed in killer fashion as a contemporary Cab Calloway the ‘30s-style “Oogie Boogie’s Song” from Elfman’s soundtrack to Tim Burton’s 1993 animated film, “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”
A perfect example of how the band is gaining new followers was the presence a few feet away of a young girl, maybe 10 or 12 years old, who was singing along to every song, even the deep cuts.
Amazingly, she knew every line, every word, her head bobbing up and down back and forth to the music, living the lyrics.
Watching her was a real kick.
The group delivered two of Boingo’s biggest LPs almost in their entirety: the 1981 debut, “Only a Lad” and 1985’s “Dead Man’s Party.” The first LP included their odd kinetic cover of The Kink’s 1964 classic, “You Really Got Me.”
For the Saturday show, they switched that song out for another cover, an appropriate one at the considering the venue, a song they performed occasionally in the late 70s and early ‘80s, but was never on an album – The Beach Boys’ “California Girls.” Of course, Saturday’s version was quirky, but it was also beautiful and downright inspired.
The fans at the House of Blues were among the most boisterous, loudly cheering even the deepest of songs showcased from the two albums.
However, when the band began playing the first notes of hit songs from the albums, such as “Just Another Day,” “Weird Science” (the title song to the smash 1985 motion picture and subsequent TV series), “Stay,” “On the Outside,” and the two title songs, the throng erupted, raising the roof.
The only time “Goodbye, “Goodbye” applies to The Johnny Vatos Oingo Boingo Dance Party is when they perform that Boingo song that appeared at the end of Cameron Crowe’s now classic 1982 teen comedy, “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.”
This band isn’t going away. Twenty years after the original Oingo Boingo broke up, this version of Boingo with its army of former members is getting more and more popular, justifiably.
Beatles songs finally streamed
After holding out for years, the most popular group in music history’s song can now be streamed.
At 12:01am on Dec. 24, The Beatles entire catalog, all 224 released songs, went online and became available to nine streaming services: Apple Music, Deezer, Google Play, Microsoft Groove, Napster/Rhapsody and Amazon Prime Music, as well as Slacker Radio, Spotify and Tidal.
Time magazine reports that during the first 48 hours online, Beatles songs were streamed more than 50 million times. Here’s the most newsworthy aspect of this: 65 percent of listeners were under the age of 34, meaning even the most recent songs were recorded more than a decade before these fans were even born.
The Beatles music lives on … Big Time.
Globally, the Top 10 most streamed songs in the first 48 hours were “Come Together,” “Let It Be,” “Hey Jude,” “Love Me Do,” “Yesterday,” “Here Comes The Sun,” “Help!,” “All You Need Is Love,” “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” and “Twist And Shout.”
Jethro Tull’s Martin Barre on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame snub
Most music critics hated Jethro Tull, the great English band so adept at rock, progressive rock, folk, and blues.
Back in 1973, the headline for then-Los Angeles Times music critic Robert Hilburn’s trashing of one of the group’s four sold-out shows at the Forum in Inglewood was “Tull Rhymes with Dull.”
Perhaps the band’s harshest critics were at Rolling Stone, whose publisher, Jann Wenner, appears to be a dictator of sorts judging by the way he rules the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominating and voting process.
Tull has been eligible for induction into Wenner’s Rock Hall for more than 20 years. Not only are they not in, they’ve never even been nominated. Meanwhile, the band’s members have watched as Abba, Kiss, hip hoppers Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five and one hit wonder Percy Sledge all been voted in. Darleen Love, Leon Russell and Dr. John have all gone in as headlining members instead of as session players, where they truly belong.
Martin Barre, who was Tull’s guitarist from early 1969 until frontman and mastermind Ian Anderson dissolved the group in 2012, discussed the Rock Hall and its ongoing snub with Forbes magazine.
The 69-year-old Barre, who just completed his first U.S. tour as a solo artist with his new Martin Barre Band, said humorously: “I made my feelings known by not going there when we were (touring) in Cleveland.”
Seriously, he added, “No, it’s fine. It’s a big deal … it’s not a big deal. When our time comes, I’ll look forward to it. If it never happens, that’s fine, too.”
Barre concluded by saying, “The accolade that means the most is that people pay to see our music. That is the biggest compliment anybody can give. You can get awards, and they’re nice, but (the paying audience) is the No. 1 thing I look at.”
Ian Anderson’s Christmas shows
Former Jethro Tull leader Ian Anderson played what have become annual Christmas concerts in two of England’s most cherished cathedrals, St. Albans and Lincoln.
At this year’s show inside the huge St. Albans Cathedral and Abbey Church (opened 1877) north of London, the 68-year-old singer-songwriter-guitar-playing flutist and the band that he has performed with for years were joined by former Soft Cell singer Mark Almond on three songs (Marlene Dietrich’s “Candles Glowing” and a pair of Soft Cell tunes, “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” and “Bedsitter”), according to the Herts Advertiser.
Anderson and band also delivered songs from the last Tull LP, 2003’s “Jethro Tull Christmas Album,” including their takes on “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “We Five Kings” (“We Three Kings”), “Holly Herald” (that includes “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”),” and their take on “Gaudete,” a traditional Renaissance tune that was a hit for English folkies, Anderson’s pals Steeleye Span in 1972.
Also performed were Tull songs “Jack-In-The-Green,” their hit version of Bach’s “Bouree” and they ended with “Aqualung” and “Locomotive Breath.”
Obit: Motorhead leader Lemmy
Ian Kilmister, known simply as Lemmy, the iconic leader of English heavy metal band Motorhead, died at age 70, according to a post from the band on its Facebook page.
While the cause of death wasn’t mentioned, he battled cancer in recent years, and several concerts were cancelled.
However, his death occurred only two days after he was diagnosed once again with cancer, this one called “a very aggressive form.” Future Motorhead plans were not mentioned.
His death follows that of original Motorhead drummer Phil Taylor, who died on Nov. 11 at 61 after a long illness.
TMZ said Lemmy, the bassist with the voice of gravel, died on Monday at approximately 4 p.m. at his Los Angeles home while playing his favorite video game, one he procured from the renowned rock musician hangout, the Rainbow Bar and Grill on the Sunset Strip, where Lemmy was a regular and had recently taken his family for a holiday dinner.
In addition, TMZ noted that the rocker credited by some as starting the big mutton-chop craze on men in the late ‘60s, fought a myriad of serious illnesses in recent years, forcing the lifelong smoker (since he was 13) and drinker to cut back on both.
The BBC noted the prodigious amounts of drugs and alcohol intake his entire life, while also noting “a sex life as frantic as his music.”
In 1965, he joined The Rockin’ Vickers that released three singles that went nowhere. In 1972, he joined established English space rockers, Hawkwind, as was lead singer on their biggest hit, “Silver Machine,” that reached No. 3 on the British singles chart.
Three years later, Lemmy was fired by the rest of Hawkwind’s members after his arrest for drug possession on the U.S.-Canada border. He them wasted little time forming Motorhead. That band has undergone numerous personnel changes over the past four decades with Lemmy being the only constant.
Motorhead’s first five albums were certified gold of silver in Britain, with two of their LPs reaching the Top 10. While they were never big sellers here (their last eight albums never sold more than 13,000 copies each), they are listed a major inspirations by many heavy metal musicians and bands, and they considered Lemmy a legend.
Obit: The Easybeats singer Stevie Wright
Stevie Wright, Australia’s first bona fide rock star as lead singer with British Invasion band The Easybeats, died at 68 in Maruya, Australia, about 120 miles south of Sydney, after suddenly falling ill, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
Wright, who was known as Little Stevie Wright during his heyday, was one of pop music’s tragic stories: international rock stardom while in his late teens in the ‘60s and loving every minute, then success, albeit short-lived, as a solo artist in the ‘70s, only to fall into decades of heroin addiction during which he nearly died numerous times, followed by heavy alcoholism.
The Easybeats were formed in Sydney in 1964 by five teens, including Wright, who were inspired by Beatlemania, each of whom emigrated to Australia with their families from Britain and Europe.
Beginning in 1965, they scored a series of hits there, including three that hit No. 1 on the Aussie pop singles chart. The last of those No. 1’s was their biggest – and only international hit, the irresistibly bouncy garage rocker, “Friday On My Mind.”
The song, which was actually recorded in London, was co-written by the group’s lead guitarist Harry Vanda and its rhythm guitarist George Young, the older brother of AC/DC guitarists Malcolm and Angus Young who produced many of AC/DC’s platinum albums.
When Paul McCartney first heard the song on his car radio, the story goes that he pulled over and called the BBC demanding that they play it again, which they did.
The song has been covered many times, most popularly in 1973, when David Bowie recorded a version for his album of cover songs, “Pin Ups.” In February 2014, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened the concert in Sydney with the song.
In 2001, “Friday On My Mind” was voted “Best Australian Song of All Time” by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA).
The Easybeats broke up in 1969 and increasing drug use and increasing debt were factors.
In 1972, Wright was cast as one of the leads in “Jesus Christ Superstar” and it was during this time he reportedly began using heroin. In 1974, he recorded the Vanda-Young written and produced three-part epic, “Evie,” that hit No. 1 in Australia, becoming the first 11-minute to top a singles chart anywhere in the world.
In 1979, Wright performed the song on the steps of the Sydney Opera House before 100,000 fans.
However, by 1976, Wright was a full-blown heroin addict. Realizing his problem, he was hospitalized and underwent unsuccessful methadone treatment. He was so anxious to end his addiction that he also underwent highly controversial treatment at an infamous Sydney hospital, Chelmsford Private Hospital, during which he was subjected to intense electroshock treatments and was also placed in an induced coma. As a result, Wright suffered lifelong after-effects, including brain damage, and these procedures failed to cure his addiction.
Through it all, he continued to manage to occasionally record and perform, including when The Easybeats undertook a well-received reunion tour of Australia in 1986.
Reportedly, the Young brothers invited Wright to join AC/DC after the 1980 death of singer Bon Scott but he declined because his voice was in a different key than Scott’s, so they then went with Brian Johnson, who remains that group’s frontman.
He kicked his heroin habit in the early ‘90s, but replaced the drug with alcohol. With the help of his wife Faye, he eventually beat alcoholism, remaining sober. He was well enough in 2002 to perform as a member of a national tour featuring a lineup of Aussie rock and pop stars.
His final onstage performance took place in 2009 at the Legends of Rock Festival in Byron Bay, Australia, north of Sydney. After that, he moved into a respite care center in Maruya, where he lived out the remainder of his life.
In 2005, Wright was inducted with The Easybeats into the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Hall of Fame.
Obit: William Guest of The Pips
William Guest, one of Gladys Knight’s three backup singing and dancing Pips, died of congestive heart failure at age 74 in Detroit, according to Us Weekly.
The Pips were all related (Guest was a distant cousin of Knight’s) and began singing together as The Pips when they were kids in Detroit in 1953.
They scored their first hit in 1961, a cover of Johnny Otis’s “Every Beat of My Heart” that was originally recorded by Hank Ballard & The Midnighters. Signed to Motown in 1966, Gladys Knight and The Pips scored a string of hits through the early ‘70s, including “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” (1967), “Friendship Train” (1969), “If I Were Your Woman” (1970) and “Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye” (1973).
The quartet left Motown for Buddah Records late in 1973, and they immediately released their biggest hit, “Midnight Train to Georgia.” The group’s final major hit was “Love Overboard” in 1987, hitting No. 13 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and No. 1 on its R&B chart.
After The Pips broke up in 1989, Guest and fellow Pip Edward Patten became managers for a stable of recording and performing artists.
Gladys Knight and The Pips won three Grammy Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001.

Sir Geoff Hurst believes it is "stupid" that goal-line technology has yet to be used in football.
The issue is back in the spotlight again after Chelsea's controversial 2-1 win over Tottenham, which saw Frank Lampard's equaliser given despite the whole of the ball appearing not to cross the line.
Hurst, who was involved in a similar situation in the 1966 World Cup final, cannot believe things have not improved since then and he told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme: "We have it (technology) now in all the major sports, tennis, cricket, snooker. Football is our national game, it's the world's biggest game and I am continually astounded that FIFA haven't introduced it just for the goal line itself."
He added: "It's so important and so stupid that we don't have it.
"I'd say that 99% of people would say it's got to be introduced, but a small handful of people in Zurich decide, perhaps because it's not their idea, that they don't want to introduce it.
"I can't fathom it out."

With the presidential election drawing closer, we have witnesses a disturbing rise in political violence against Brazilian Workers’ Party supporters and officials; while Bolsonaro’s regime is ramping up threats and attacks against the electoral system.
In response to these threats, and the tragic murder of Workers’ Party official Marcelo Arruda by a far-right Bolsonaro supporter, an Early Day Motion has been tabled in parliament condemning political violence.
On June 23rd the Brazil Solidarity Initiative hosted an online rally in support of Lula and the return of hope to Brazil, with hundreds tuning in to show their solidarity ahead of the October Presidential election .
A presidential election takes place in Brazil this autumn which can give socialists around the world much hope, writes chair of Young Labour Jess Barnard.
Earlier this month, I was honoured to speak at the London launch of the international committee for Lula’s bid to return to the presidency of Brazil.
It was great to see Brazilians here in London ready to organise for change for workers across Brazil, who opinion polls show are ready to reject President Bolsonaro and elect Lula as a president committed to opposing savage austerity and the far-right’s politics of hate.
In cities in Brazil and across the globe, campaign launch events were held to celebrate former Brazilian President Lula da Silva, the candidate set to beat far-right president Bolsonaro in the October elections.
In London, PT Londres (the Brazilian Workers’ Party in London) hosted Brazilian campaigners, solidarity activists and representatives from across the Labour movement in a joyous show of support for Lula’s candidacy. The meeting heard contributions from Jeremy Corbyn, Christine Blower, Andy McDonald MP, Jess Barnard, academics, trade union leaders and PT activists mobilising ahead of the elections.
Join activists and volunteers from Brazil Matters, CAFOD, Greenpeace, Survival International, Amazon Rebellion, London Mining Network, and the Brazil Solidarity Initiative to protest in support of indigenous communities in Brazil.

This week saw International Women’s Day recognised across the globe. It’s important to re-emphasise the role and contribution of women to the creation of a new world order with peace, global justice and socialism at the centre.
Global estimates published by the WHO show that approximately one in three women worldwide have suffered physical and/or sexual violence by a partner or third parties during their lifetime
Leaders of the Workers Party (PT) and social movements gathered in seminars of the PT caucus in the House and Senate say that the main task is to recover the economy and promote social justice.
By the Brazilian Workers’ Party (PT)
Leaders of entities linked to the PT (Lula Institute and Perseu Abramo Foundation) and to the social and trade union movement (MST, CUT and IndustriALL-Brazil) said on Tuesday (1st Feb) that a future Lula government will have the main task of pulling Brazil out of the current economic crisis and lessening the social setbacks after the 2016 coup.
The Landless Movement of Brazil (MST), one of Latin America’s largest social movements, brings us in depth analysis of progressive groups uniting around former President Lula da Silva to defeat Bolsonaro and the far-right in the October 2022 presidential elections, and the political context of the biggest battle-ground against the far-right globally.
By the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra(MST)
The end of the year 2021 was marked by record inflation, by the tragedy of the rains, especially in Bahia, Minas Gerais and now in São Paulo, and by the spread of diseases, the influenza variant (H3N2) and the omicron strain of COVID-19. Fear and insecurity with rains, diseases and social crisis started a decisive year in the political struggle, with the presidential elections.
As Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro’s domestic and international status continues to decline sharply, former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is stepping up his campaign to win the presidential election that will take place in October this year.

Issues like residence decisions, distribution of caregiving responsibilities, safety and health concerns, wills and estates, the sale of the family home, and more can divide a family for years to come. When communication is difficult and critical decisions are put on hold, families may need the help of a skilled mediator to get them unstuck so they can move forward while respecting all parties.
Elder mediation is based on a wellness model that promotes a positive approach to resolving disputes for all its participants. It is the process of working collaboratively with a mediator to help families deal with issues they are facing such as those mentioned above and other issues that may come with aging. It is a respectful, poignant, and civilized conversation, whereby the mediator facilitates a resolution to the issues of dispute.
Who can participate?
Participants may include family members, their respective spouses, caregivers, and other professional service providers. The mediator will develop solutions with the family members to address needs, fairness, and fears to determine the best course of action for aging parents. Basic agreements and long terms plans may be reached and put into writing.
Brothers and Sisters
Chances are brothers and sisters may not have had to work together to solve issues regarding their parents’ care. They may have different points of view.
Siblings may have a difficult time agreeing how to handle their aging parents’ needs for such things as long term care and health care. Communication may become difficult, strained, or emotional.
A mediator specialized in dealing with elder disputes can help avoid fighting within the family as well as excessive costs which litigation would bring. For a mediator, it is important to have the family remain intact during these difficult times and reach a resolution together.
What can I expect from the Mediator?
A mediator is a neutral third party who is skilled and education in mediation, who helps the family with appropriate processes in order to help them reach true consensus on decisions regarding elder care. The mediator will help clear up misunderstandings and keep the family on track. The mediator will also encourage family members to focus on the best interests of their parents moving forward, while helping family members to consider as many options as possible by having family members evaluate each option carefully. The mediator will help facilitate an agreement between the parties and draft an agreement accordingly and may provide for future modifications of their written agreement as the need arises.
The mediator will encourage all parties to be respective of one another and enter into negotiations in good faith with a view to resolving all matters.

PEOPLE are being encouraged to put on their walking boots and take advantage of a rare new haven for wildlife in Warkworth.
Work has recently finished at Castle Dike to open up tidal floodplain and restore mudflat and saltmarsh, creating new areas of water for wildlife.
The area was rebuilt in the 1960s as an area for caravan pitches. However, the site was never dry enough to pitch caravans, so was left as unmanaged grassland.
The initiative was completed by the Environment Agency as part of the Northumberland 4shores project which works with landowners, tenants and other partners to enhance important coastal habitats by realigning coastal defences and creating wetlands.
Environment Agency project manager Maria Hardy said: “We were asked by Coquet View Leisure Park, which owns the land, to see if we could improve the area for wildlife. We are really fortunate because this is one of the few places along the Northumberland coast where we can create tidal habitat due to the nature of the land.”
Waders such as redshank and curlew feed on the mudflats at low tide and return to the saltmarsh refuge at high tide.
The creeks will provide sheltered nursery sites for fish and invertebrates that inhabit the areas where freshwater meets seawater. A new footbridge has also been built to provide views of the new wetlands and Coquet Estuary.
Coquet View Leisure Park manager Jared Bloodworth said: “We’re really pleased to be working with the Environment Agency to expand and enhance saltmarsh and mudflat habitat in this beautiful part of the Northumberland coast.”
In addition to the salt water wetland habitat, Northumberland 4shores has worked with site neighbours Warkworth Golf Club to create freshwater wetland.
Maria said: “We’ve created a shallow pond with reeds on the golf course rough. It complements the Castles Dike wetland and holds water draining from the golf course greens.”
Since 2006, the Northumberland 4shores project team have worked with farmers and land owners in Alnmouth, Goswick, Beal and Warkworth, to create almost 20 hectares of coastal saltmarsh by flooding pastureland with seawater.

Kim Philby; Knight of Malta
His father was a Knight of Malta as well.
The VBC posted a story yesterday which on the surface seems to bring news to the UK public about the treacherous individuals in "British" history. The article focused on the activities of a certain Kim Philby.
If you read the narrative carefully it gives the usual standard gibberish about an MI5 agent secretly being a "Communist" and eventually defecting to the Soviets. It is all DECEPTION.
Philby was in fact a "Knight Of Malta," his loyalty was to the Vatican. All his schemes and deceptions were to further the aims of the Vatican not the Soviets, or MI5, or the UK. Philby`s father, who is also mentioned in the article was also a "Knight of Malta." He too was a loyal Vatican servant.
You will find the top "Intelligence agents" of all countries are members of secret societies controlled by the Vatican and they are all working together, happily deceiving the citizens of every country they are supposed to be defending.
Kim Philby was the man responsible for delaying the warning message given about the King David Hotel bombing in Jerusalem in 1946.. Thereby ensuring a large number of innocent victims.
Now another story has emerged from the darkness of the VBC`s deception department trying to portray another rogue as an honourable peace-loving individual. All you have to ask yourself is, "What Vatican controlled secret society does Brendan Duddy belong to?"
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

In collaboration with COX Architecture.
Project Discover, a close collaboration between COX Architecture and Neeson Murcutt + Neille, follows Crystal Hall by Neeson Murcutt Architects that re-orientated the museum to William Street, its original frontage.
The design is highly strategic. It prioritises changes that will sustain the Museum into the long-term.
The project aspires to create a singular civic space giving a ‘heart’ to the Museum; reveal and celebrate the Museum’s rich historic layering; create legibility of movement – vertical and horizontal; enable universal public access throughout; and enhance the Museum’s engagement with William Street.
The new civic space is uncovered through the removal of The Still Addition mezzanine, while the new touring gallery is placed below this space through the relocation of 3 levels of storage. Crystal Hall is connected via a new generous threshold to the Museum. A new stair engages outwardly with the city – adding new ‘delight’ in movement through the Museum.

When the first MS Pill come onto the market there were front news stories, doctor’s offices were flooded with questions and the manufacturer’s stock price did a healthy spike. This past fall, the FDA approved (and the market will soon see) a second oral medication to help fight multiple sclerosis… but not many are talking about it.
We wondered why.
First, a bit about the drug. The name of the compound in the drug is called Teriflunomide. It is an active metabolite of another drug, Leflunomide, which many people with rheumatoid arthritis have been taking for over a decade. The marketing name of this drug is called “Aubagio” (pronounced oh-BAH-gee-oh which rhymes with that Vegas hotel with the dancing waters).
This new drug has been tolerated well in trials, has similar efficacy as many of the other MS drugs and, while not side-effect free, seems to be on par in most other ways. In an effort to make the drug more affordable (or to encourage insurance companies to push for its use) Aubagio has been price below the injectable class of MS drugs.
Why then has so little buzz been around our community?
I don’t think it’s the side-effect profile; even though one of these would have pretty serious repercussions for both women and men intending to have children.
As a matter of fact, though the drug was approved last fall and many people first heard of it last week when a video, released by the National MS Society hit the internet.
The last twenty years have seen us go from not treatment at all for our disease to now nine disease modifying drugs. Are there now so many from which to choose (which can only be considered a good thing) that the “news” has gone out of such things? If this is the case, I have to wonder who the bottom-line driven pharmaceutical companies will judge the MS Community’s willingness to accept new drugs (and if that will affect their decision making when it comes to funding MS research.
I reach out to our Life With MS Blog community in asking if any of you have been on the clinical trials for Aubigao? How did you feel on the drug? What are your thoughts (whether or not you were on the study) about this drug? Thoughts on the future of MS drugs?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
