How did your journey into textiles begin? What drew you initially to weaving?
I first started playing with textiles when I was little, through spending time with my grandmothers. They taught me embroidery, knitting, crochet, sewing,…we always had to have a project to keep us busy, and these were the works that they did. They would also tell stories about who had made that coverlet on the bed, or the shirt I was wearing, or the millions of doilies we had at the house. I think my love for handmade, and for textiles started then. Later, in college, I studied Textile Conservation, and that’s when I first learned about weaving. Mostly we were learning about structures and drafts, and how to identify them in textiles, not actually weaving. I started working at the Textile Arts Center when I moved to NYC thirteen years ago and what initially drew me to it was when I would get to learn how to set up a loom and weave. I remember that the first time weaving felt like a homecoming, like a crab back in the water
Tell us about your process, start to finish how you make your pieces.
It depends so much from piece to piece. But normally I’m just seeking a feeling and I’ll stay in that place for a little bit – thinking about it, writing about it, photographing ways that I see it manifesting in the world. And then I start translating it to a textile in my mind, like in terms of technique. Sometimes that sends me to a weaver’s forum on the internet learning about a specific draft, or researching the physics of waves. Materials are also important to me, but I tend to work within what I have available. I always have leftovers from my textile fabrication gigs, and I like the idea of repurposing and reinterpreting those. By the time I sit on the loom, I tend to have a pretty good idea of what I’m going to do.. But that’s also when magic happens. I like that duality of having something resolved in my mind, but actually not knowing exactly what shape it’s going to take until I start making. And lately, documentation of the work has become a very important part of the process for me too. For instance, with these burnout velvet pieces I was making two years ago. I was originally thinking of them as garments, but then took them to a beach near my home and spent some time playing with them and photographing their cast shadows, or them floating in the water. When I saw the photos it just made sense, that was what’s missing to finish the work.
What part of textile/weaving history interests you the most? Are there any textile artists that you are influenced by?
I think the part that interests me the most about textile history is that it is so connected with our history as people too. A few years ago, my grandmother, after many years of me weaving, told me that her grandmother was a weaver. I think almost everyone, if they go back a few generations, will meet a weaver in their family, or someone that did textile work. I think a lot about how people in different parts of the world, in different times, came up with textile processes and technologies adapted to the different materials and resources available. And how a textile object can contain in itself all this history, like a memory, that can be revealed through the materials, processes, imagery… That’s one of the things that has always interested me about learning textile processes, that allows me access to these memories, to these stories. And about making too, that I’m storing my memories. Like, for instance, how my different moods or emotions can get documented in the ondulation of the selvages of my weaving, because I’ll sometimes pull too much, or be too loose.
I’m constantly influenced by other artists – most times in just an aspirational way, as in like “wow”. I think it’s still the textile conservator in me but I love discovering how something is made. Some of my long-time references are Kay Sekimachi, Lenore Tawney, Paracas weavers, fishermen’s nets and lacework. I also recently saw Diedrick Brackens’ exhibition and I’m still thinking about the beauty of it.
Where/what do you look to for inspiration? Has this changed over time or stayed constant?
I’m inspired by my surroundings, nature, anything that moves me. Growing up in a beach town, the ocean and sea culture are always a reference, and often something I’m chasing – a set of waves, the light projecting in the caves, smell of seaweed in the sand. I think a lot about how do you capture that feeling, how do you weave a feeling.
How do natural dyes play a role in your work?
Working with natural dyes is part of my practice but it doesn’t often appear combined with my weaving work. I tend to work with upcycled yarns that have already been dyed. However, like in weaving, I’m also very interested in natural dyes from a research perspective, like learning about different sources for natural dyes, specific to different regions of the world and cultures. Getting color from natural materials is something that people have been doing for thousands of years all over the world, and the resourceability through which different materials and techniques were explored is something that will always amaze me. Over the last few years, I’ve been exploring more the use of natural dyes as a paint for textiles. I like the freedom of being able to apply natural dyes in a more painterly way, like many colors at once, and modulating those colors using the different modifiers (like iron sulfate, or lemon juice).
Tell us about how ideas evolve from your dreams? Do you envision things visually or conceptually?
Most of my work starts as this idea that stays in my mind, changing and morphing in this dream state. I think a lot of my practice is problem solving. Or at least that’s how I engage in new projects – how do I get this color, how can I translate this feeling. The part of figuring out how-to-do-it is definitely the most exciting for me, and I’ll keep working on it even when I sleep. And sometimes the answers do come to me in dreams. By the time I actually sit on the loom, or start dyeing, I already have a pretty good idea of what’s going to be my approach, and there’s a very special feeling when it first starts materializing, like it works! When I started thinking about the Modular Weavings series, I didn’t even try to actually begin weaving until I resolved it in my mind. But when I finally did, at a residency in Iceland, I think so much of what they became had to do with the place where I was: the colors, the materials, the documentation.
How has being a part of the founding team of Textile Arts Center had an impact on your work?
I joined the founding team of TAC in 2009, after I sent them an email on a whim after seeing an ad in a subway magazine. Initially, I was helping with the kids program in exchange for weaving time/loom, but over the years as the project continued developing I have worn many hats. One of the visions for TAC was that it’d be this open studio space where people of all ages and working with different textiles techniques could be working at the same time. I think that vision has deeply influenced my approach to projects, my understanding of what education can be and fostered this resourceability. Like everything is possible! Working for TAC and in the TAC studio has also allowed me to meet so many incredible textile artists, who constantly inspire and teach me. It’s been a very beautiful, community supported way of learning how to be a maker and an artist.
Do you believe the pandemic has had an impact on your work?
Definitely, but mostly because I didn’t make any work. Or it felt like that way. But thinking back, I actually did. One of the pieces at Heirloom, Piscina, was started during the lockdown. I was feeling very distant from my family, from home, and I think that materialized in a craving for bodies of water, I was thinking a lot about pools, and how the light on the pool surface always brings me calmness. So I wove myself a pool. I tried to capture that feeling through warp painting, and the distortion that happens to it while weaving. But through the process, and because weaving takes so long, I started thinking about other ways to capture the light interference and that feeling, so I’m going to definitely be weaving more pools. It might be my David Hockney phase.
How do you imagine your work evolving in the future? Do you have any upcoming shows or events you are excited about?
So far my work has evolved on its own time and in direct response to what’s happening in my life at the moment. I’ve spent the last 10 years working for an arts organization, as an arts administrator and teaching, but also as a textile fabricator. However, I keep my own practice and work very personal. I’ve learned that it takes me time to access what I’m feeling or thinking about and that’s ok. I’ve loved doing residencies for that reason, because they allow me time and space to think and make. I’ll be going back to Portugal for a few months this Fall and I’m excited for what that will transform into. I have a little loom at home that we rescued from the trash at the highschool my mom teaches at, and I’ll be having a lot of time…

Capello refuses to tinker
Fabio Capello has resisted the temptation to experiment in England's remaining World Cup qualifiers.
By Rob Parrish
Last Updated: 04/10/09 8:59pm
Fabio Capello has resisted the temptation to experiment in England's remaining World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Belarus.
Despite the Three Lions having already secured their safe passage to South Africa 2010, Capello has stuck with his tried and trusted players for the trip to Ukraine on 10th October and the Wembley meeting with Belarus four days later.
Portsmouth goalkeeper David James returns after injury, with Manchester United's Ben Foster missing out after an indifferent start to the season which could also cost him his club place.
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott and Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole are not included as they continue to work their way back to full fitness with their clubs following respective back and knee problems.
Aston Villa winger Ashley Young has missed out on the latest party, but his Midlands team-mates James Milner and Gabriel Agbonlahor are included.
Jermain Defoe, who was deemed fit enough to come off the bench for Spurs in their draw at Bolton on Saturday, will not be risked due to his hand injury, while in-form Sunderland striker Darren Bent is again overlooked.
Michael Owen's hopes of forcing his way back into the England reckoning were dashed when he suffered a groin injury in the early stages of United's UEFA Champions League meeting with Wolfsburg.
Goalkeepers: Robinson (Blackburn), Green (West Ham), James (Portsmouth)
Defenders: A Cole (Chelsea), Terry (Chelsea), Johnson (Liverpool), Bridge (Manchester City), Lescott (Manchester City), Brown (Manchester United), Ferdinand (Manchester United), Upson (West Ham).
Midfielders: Milner (Aston Villa), Lampard (Chelsea), Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy), Gerrard (Liverpool), Barry (Manchester City), Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Carrick (Manchester United), Lennon (Tottenham).
Strikers: Agbonlahor (Aston Villa), Heskey (Aston Villa), Crouch (Tottenham), C Cole (West Ham), Rooney (Manchester United).

Okay, this will be one of the weirder blogs I post here, but bear with me. As I was logging on to Twitter earlier today (while simultaneously wondering why I still have a Twitter), I saw a featured tweet claiming that many people are insisting that Disney should give Elsa, the elder royal sister from their beloved film Frozen, a girlfriend in Frozen’s eventual sequel, as a means to “give the LGBT community someone to look up to as well.”
Now, before anyone gets the wrong idea (lord knows if you aren’t entirely politically correct these days people will write you off as a fascist and vilify you for life), I have absolutely no problems with the idea of Disney introducing a gay princess to their character lineup. In fact I think it would be interesting to see. But it shouldn’t be Elsa for two reasons: One pertaining to the social issue, and one pertaining to Frozen itself.
The first reason is that retroactively deciding to make the character gay would ultimately end up making the issue feel forced, and subsequently, meaningless. You never want to go the bait-and-switch route with fictional characters, but it’s a route people go all too often with homosexual characters. J.K. Rowling revealed that the character of Dumbledore in her Harry Potter series was gay, but conveniently only did so several months after the last book in the series had been published. Similarly, video game developer Naughty Dog, when creating the DLC for their critically praised title The Last of Us, decided to make the character of Ellie gay, even though any indication of sexuality was never previously brought up with the character.
I’m not saying these authors don’t have good intentions. But to me anyway, if you’re trying to bring up some social issue or diversity, you should probably do so from the get-go. Otherwise, it feels like they’re just throwing it in there to give themselves a pat on the back. Almost as a means for them to say “look at us! Aren’t we so great? Look at how we’re representing diversity!” If you really want to make a statement, you don’t wait until after you’re in the safe zone to do so. If Disney just decided to up and make Elsa gay now, it would just feel like another instance of “hey, look at us!”
The second reason, which deals with Frozen itself, is one of artistic integrity (I know, shame on me for caring more about artistic integrity than political correctness with movies). One of the reasons Frozen worked so well is that it’s one of the few (if not the only) non-Pixar Disney animated film that manages to successfully integrate allegory and interpretive elements into its narrative. Yes, it’s still a fun movie where princesses sing songs and talking snowmen make jokes, but there’s a stronger sense of subtext to it than in other Disney fare. And a large reason for that is Elsa herself.
It’s true, many people have interpreted Elsa’s situation of being a misunderstood outcast because of her magic to being an allegory for homosexuality. And if people interpret it that way, then more power to them. But Elsa has also been interpreted in other ways as well, with some (including myself) making comparisons to mental illness and depression, among many other interpretations.
If Disney were to simply decide to make Elsa gay, it would negate what the filmmakers accomplished with the character narratively. By deciding to overtly acknowledge one interpretation as the correct one, it would undo much of the depth of the character and story. And yes, it would even demean the interpretations of homosexuality with the character to begin with. Personally, I think keeping the character asexual makes her more interesting and universally relatable.
One of the things that makes Frozen special, and yes, one of the reasons I think it’s remained such an unparalleled success, is that it employs subtleties in its narrative, characters, and themes. It helps it to break age and cultural barriers even more so than most other animated films. If Disney were to simply have Elsa come out as gay, it would diminish the film’s themes and even the desired social statement.
Yes, it would be interesting to see Disney add a gay princess to their lineup. But it’s not something that should just be forced (again, a forced social statement is not a social statement at all). And it shouldn’t be Elsa. If Disney can come up with a great story to introduce a gay princess, then that’s awesome. But making it a retroactive thing would ultimately be cheap and meaningless. If you’re going to do it, do it right.
Elsa being asexual never bothered me, anyway.

Ireland is the 21st most attractive country for investment in renewables out of 40 countries, according to Ernst & Young’s latest quarterly index out today.
In its latest Renewable energy country attractiveness indices report, Ernst & Young points to how capacity auctions – whereby future power purchase projects and generation licences are awarded through a competitive process – are increasingly being adapted by governments. This is in contrast to traditional revenue-based support mechanisms.
In the report, Ernst & Young also pinpoints rising clean energy country performers, such as Chile, Morocco and South Africa.
In addition, Ernst & Young predicts that activity in the wind-energy sector will pick up in 2013. According to the report, investment in the global wind sector dropped by 13pc to US$78.3bn (€59.4bn) in 2012.
The index predicts that offshore wind is likely to be a key growth area for investment and transactions in 2013. According to Navigant Consulting, the offshore wind sector is set to expand by an average of almost 82pc per year by 2016, with 100 gigawatts of onshore wind capacity in the pipeline.
Ernst & Young said that the burgeoning offshore wind sector is also starting to attract a diverse investor base, including pensions funds, industrial conglomerates and private equity groups.
Map of countries and how they ranked in the latest Country Attractiveness Index. (Ernst & Young: February 2013)
The overall index ranked 40 countries based on the attractiveness of their national renewable energy markets, energy infrastructure and suitability for individual technologies.
China retained the top spot in the index. Ernst & Young said this was a result of its announcement of ambitious capacity targets for 2013 and an increase in strategic outbound investment.
Germany came second in the index as a result of its government’s focus on expanding the country’s grid infrastructure. However, Ernst & Young said the sector will be put under pressure as a result of the plan announced in January to freeze the consumer levy for renewable energy.
The US was ranked in third place in the index due to its renewed focus on wind energy. Meanwhile, India, France and the UK ranked fourth, fifth and sixth in the index respectively.
Ireland rose two places to rank 21st in the current All Renewables Index. Ernst & Young said this was partly due to Greece losing points in the index, but also as a result of the recent memorandum of understanding signed with the UK that could pave the way for exporting wind energy from Ireland.
Ireland, meanwhile, ranked 11th in the Ernst & Young indices for onshore and offshore wind. This is up one position from the last index.
Gil Forer, Ernst & Young’s global clean-tech leader, said governments are tailoring their approach to clean-energy investment to suit their individual needs and market maturity.
“The clean-energy landscape has become much more global in the last 12 months, with more countries developing strategic initiatives at a national level to include and increase renewable energy within their overall energy mix,” he said.

Allo polish Pals!
How are you today? Are you enjoying some nice warm weather this week? So... Here's a question for you, Little Theodora here is sat wishing on a star, but do you think she had her wings before or after she made the wish? If she already had wings I wonder what she was wishing for....
I'm quite displeased with her face, as you can see she kind of has...mutant bumps on her face. That was from me making a huge mistake but I tried to fix it. For this manicure I began with two coats of Barry M's 'Mist' and created a gradient with Barry M's 'Cobalt Blue'. I then used tiny pieces of sponge to dab on H+M's 'Blue Metal', Color Club's 'Winter Wonderland' and for glitter I used OPI's 'Snowflakes In The Air' and Collistar's glitter. Everything else was freehand with my Oumaxi paints
What do you think of my mutant fairy? Have you created any fantasy-type nail art?
Have a beautiful day!

The tapestry thickens
When Shelta is injured in battle, she travels to Asgard to save her unborn child. In return, the gods ask her to become the first world-weaver in ages: a dragon rider whose actions ripple through all of creation. Her mission: to shift the currents of destruction poisoning the multiverse of the World Tree.
But combat training with Thor and riddles with Merlin can only go so far. Secretly, Shelta turns to Loki, a self-professed connoisseur of musicians, and trades her most vulnerable songs for a pair of enchanted blades that allow her to open portals and kill with a thought. Shelta doesn’t want to be a vigilante, and she’s no one’s savior, but she’ll do what it takes to protect her family from the schemes of gods.

‘One chance to bring everybody together’: Free State, LHS to hold outdoor prom events with COVID-19 precautions
TOPEKA, Kan. – In a year that has been anything but normal for Lawrence’s two high schools, students at both Free State and Lawrence High are making sure the 2021 senior class will end its time at the schools with one of the most traditional events.
Next month, both schools will hold their annual proms, which will be some of the first major student-organized events since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
This year’s dances will look a little different from the past. But holding the events at all is a big deal for the students, who haven’t had many opportunities to organize social activities because of the pandemic. Organizers for both events said most of their classmates were excited for the possibility of a dance.
“The fact that we haven’t had anything social this year has broken all of our hearts,” said Izzy Byrne, a Free State senior and student council member who helped organize the school’s event. “This is our one chance to bring everybody together … and we’re really trying to make it the best it can be.”
Both schools’ events will be held outdoors to allow for social distancing and will only be open to the senior class. They are scheduled for the evening of May 1, with May 8 serving as a backup date in case of inclement weather.
Student council leaders for both schools organized the events, which has historically been the norm for prom. The difference this year was that the students had to take public health orders and school policies on social distancing into account. Despite these challenges, the students were able to figure it out and received clearance from district and public health leaders to hold the events.
The district wanted the students to have a say in the events, and it’s confident that their plans will allow for a safe celebration, district spokeswoman Julie Boyle said.
“They considered all of the important aspects of hosting a safe and fun event,” Boyle said. “Our seniors deserve to celebrate their accomplishments. We are extremely proud of their perseverance this year.”
Hadley Bird and Donnavan Dillon of LHS worked hard to make sure the events would allow for social distancing by offering more than just a standard dance, Bird said.
Their event will have a Hollywood theme, including a red carpet entrance to the school’s concourse area between the main gym and the west gym. But when guests arrive, they will have their temperature taken, and everyone will be required to wear masks.
The plan combines a standard dance with games and activities that are normally part of after-prom parties. Dillon said having a variety of things to do would make it less likely that everyone would congregate in the same part of the concourse area.
Bird said she was “overwhelmed” when the district approved the plans.
“I didn’t think they were going to approve it so quickly,” she said. “But I think they know that it means a lot to seniors having kind of a horrible senior year online and not being able to see friends,” she added, referring to the fact that much of the school year was conducted through remote learning.
Meanwhile, the theme of Free State’s prom will be “Under the Stars,” which Byrne said was appropriate given that the dance will be outside in the school’s parking lot. It will also require the use of masks and have temperature checks at the entrance.
But instead of letting students spread out freely, the Free State event will mostly have guests assigned to pods, where they will be able to mingle with their dates and set groups of friends. A diagram of the pod layout shows about 20 pods — spaced 6 feet apart from one another — for the groups of guests.
Sara Roszak, a Free State organizer, said the idea to use pods came from one student’s mother. But Roszak said the guests wouldn’t have to stay in their pods all night long. She said the plans would allow the pods to go to the main dance floor in scheduled groups.
Even when they’re not on the main dance floor, there’s nothing stopping the students from dancing, Roszak said.
“They’re definitely encouraged to dance within their pods,” she said. “I know my pod is going to be going hard the whole time, so that will be fun.”
While neither dance will look exactly like a traditional prom, Dillon said the students were just happy to have a prom at all.
He said last year’s seniors watched their high school careers end unceremoniously, with prom being canceled and graduation happening months later with tight restrictions.
“Those seniors were super sad about that because they didn’t get to end high school with a bang,” Dillon said. “And I know a lot of people were afraid of that this year.”
Now that proms are scheduled and safety plans are in place, the organizers hope the guests will enjoy themselves as much as they can and celebrate the end of a challenging senior year.
“I just really hope there is a lot of energy there and people will be excited to be there, knowing this is our senior prom and this is all we’ve had all year,” Roszak said. “We worked really hard for it and we really want it to be a good time for everybody.”

“I think it’s a really great way to introduce people to design principles,” she said. “I think the best way to learn design skills is to start with something really fun and easy and then work your way up, and this is kind of the perfect stepping stone.”
Jennie Goforth, research and design services librarian at the Undergraduate Library, said the UL wanted to offer students the opportunity to take GIFs beyond their informal origin and use them as storytelling tools. Goforth also noted that creating GIFs is good practice in design, as well as a chance for students to record parts of their life at Carolina.
“(GIFs are) gaining traction and becoming more than just a silly little internet thing. It’s becoming a real way to communicate stories and ideas and emotions,” Goforth said. “We really wanted a way to kind of bring attention to that.”
After students create their GIF, they can submit them to the UNC GIFable website. All the GIFs are then collected on a single voting page where anyone will be able to vote on their favorite GIF. The contest opened on Sept. 21 and will close Nov. 15, though Hammer says she is thinking of extending the deadline so that UNC GIFable could work with classes or student groups. Voting opens in mid-October.
Goforth said GIFs submitted to the contest will also be put into archives so that they can become part of the University’s historical record.
The contest has two categories: UNC History and UNC 2017. Students can make a GIF of their own UNC experience or use photos from the University archives, made available on the UNC GIFable website. Hammer said these two categories allow students to show the vastness and diversity of UNC culture, thus creating a digital tapestry of the University.

Another has passed before us. A pilar, a fixed point of which we did cling. She was a rallying point, a matriarch, a place were we did life with one another.
She has passed through the door which we are not yet meant to follow. Yet we all must pass through the threshold one day. It is this parting which breaks us. It is a goodbye that causes us to grieve. You do not grieve what you did not love in your heart, and there is much love in us for her.
And yet we do not grieve as the world does. For the world has no hope of what is to come, for what is beyond the veil. For the believer our hope is two fold.
First we know that we enter into God’s house. Into the loving arms of our savior we commit our spirit. Yet even that is not where our hope ends. We are promised new resurrection bodies like Christ. Body’s that are physical, eat, walk, and yet are free of all suffering.
I count her passing as a prayer answered, for her suffering is at an end. We will miss her for the rest of our lives here, but the time of our suffering is short, and the time of our mourning is shorter still. It is good to mourn, for even Christ mourned for his friend who he knew would be restored before the end of that same hour. But we should not let our mourning swallow us up, for we are still found with hope.
I love you Grandma, and I miss you greatly. Even so our time here is numbered, but our days in glory are without end. I will see you again, I just am needed here a little longer.
May God’s love and grace sustain us all. It is enough.
Why disinterest is your greatest adversary
While writing, working at your job, going to school, or interacting with others there are many things that can make your life more difficult. Disliking the activity, people you don’t get along with, and disinterest are just a few. I would argue that the most powerful one you face is disinterest.
When you’re disinterested it causes the worst responses possible. Apathy is the opposite of love, and as such it works to remove your desire to have any connection to the activity at hand. This couples into depression as well. I, like many other people, have mistaken depression to be a feeling of inescapable sadness. Depression isn’t always sad however, more often it is more like a lack of caring.
Not caring about something, or being disinterested, makes it exceedingly difficult to do anything. Depression is the ultimate expression of this phenomenon. Why do we have apathy then? There is a good reason for it though.
Apathy is a defense mechanism, a shield. It is hard for something to hurt you if you don’t care about it. This has great power over your emotions, actions, and interactions. As such when left out of check, it can ruin your relationships, or worse lead into a depression spiral. Getting out of this situation is easiest when you haven’t let it have control of too many parts of your life.
To conquer disinterest you must let things feel again. Your happiness doesn’t work without something sad to compare it to. To feel love you must be exposed to pain. It isn’t fun, but you must not let apathy control you. When it runs your life it only leads to depression, when you take control back you feel again and it won’t likely be pleasant. Don’t give up though, lean on your friends, family, or seek professional help. The best thing you can do is seek Jesus and a relationship with him if you haven’t already. God knows how powerful your emotions are, and will help you though the hard times when you lean on him. He doesn’t promise an easy life, but does promise you will never be alone. You can find more information on that at places like hope.org, or reach out to me or any number of Christians out there. Our purpose isn’t to judge, or ridicule, but to offer help to this broken world (remember we all are broken too).
Until next time, my God bless you and keep you.

The poppy - papaver rhoeas -has been in the news this past week here in England; it even made the front page headline in my morning paper one day. All because next year will see the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War. There has been an amount of almost half-hearted discussion about how best to commemorate that anniversary. One proposal was to give packets of poppy seeds to schools and other establishments to grow the flowers.
I learned this week from an article in the newspaper how the poppy came to be such an emotive symbol of remembrance. Actually, I was surprised to learn that the idea came from America - I had always thought that the poppy was a particularly British thing. But it seems that Moina Michael, an American lady, first had the idea even before the armistice in 1918. She was browsing a magazine in which was published John McCrae's poem, In Flanders Fields.
In Flanders fields the poppies blowMiss Michael immediately thought of using the poppy as a symbol of remembrance but had something of a struggle to get universal acceptance. However, in 1920, a French woman by the name of Madame Anna E Guérin happened to be in the USA and heard of the idea. Returning to France, she had artificial poppies made for sell to raise funds to help children orphaned in the war. The next year, she persuaded Field Marshal Earl Haig, President of the British Legion (now Royal British Legion) to take a supply of her poppies to raise money to use for the welfare of ex-servicemen.
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
The British Legion ordered 9 million and sold the first a few seconds after midnight on 11 November 1921. The asking price was 3d, but by next morning, a single petal was selling for £5. The sum of £106,000 was raised that year, the equivalent of nearly £30 million today.

Learn All This About Personal Development Below
Do you wish to live an even more fulfilling life? Below are some tips that can help you help yourself.
Elect to spend time with positive people. In case you have others close to you who think and feel as you may do, then you can certainly stay away from the negativity that may emerge from those who tend not to support your endeavors.
Reading books on the subject of personal development or self-improvement is useful for you. The best of these types of books can truly present you with new advice and ideas that actually work for boosting your specific life situations and challenges. Look for serious reviews of the book before you buy it because some books are really poorly written.
A great way to raise the self-esteem would be to give other folks compliments. Doing the precise opposite and being kind to others can help you be kind to yourself.
Try to always make each day superior to the one before. Push you to ultimately achieve growth that is certainly constant and unwavering. Try to improve yourself daily.
Therapy is an excellent way for anybody who would like to work with self improvement to explore their own personal personal demons. Self help books may help you, but tend not to expect these methods to replace a doctor who is able to assess your situation personally. Simply talking will help inspire you to achieve success. Books cannot have got a dialog along with you to go over any queries or concerns you could have, the way a therapist or psychiatrist can.
Can you consume alcohol greater than you should? Can you do other harmful stuff like smoke cigarettes? The entire body is a supply of great wonder and is also vital to our life, consequently respect is the thing that it deserves. Enhance your life through the elimination of unhealthy habits.
Take a sincere take a look at traits and proclivities and find out where one can make changes.
Maybe you have set high goals for your self whilst keeping neglecting to attain them. If this is the case, it is a good idea to quit and think why her explanation Check on the web and find others whom share similar goals together with you and find out the things they are going to do when compared with what you’re doing. It really is possible that you may be setting unrealistic expectations, missing an important element, or otherwise not devoting plenty of time or resources for your efforts.
A great step in personal development is always to practice selfless behavior. Your inner character may benefit greatly from helping others, and making sacrifices to make it happen. Having the ability to make sacrifices for some individuals without hurting yourself will assist you to become the person you would like to be.
So that you can help yourself grow being a person, you have to have a great attitude. An unsatisfactory attitude can only lead you on the wrong path in everyday life and keep you from achieving all that one could. Instead, be “pragmatically positive.” This is basically the idea that a positive attitude will yield instrumental gain.
As you have seen, personal development fails to must be a terrifying prospect. Make a better life on your own, and you’ll be so much happier..

Good Morning All! I hope that you all have had a great weekend! I know that my spring break has been very relaxing and filled with fun! While I still have tomorrow off, I will be going back to the classroom to get things ready for Tuesday. It's really hard to believe that the school year is quickly coming to a close! Just more time to stamp!
Today's card was inspired by someone out there in the blogging world. I was cruising blogs for something that I could do with my Tagger's Dozen set. I haven't used that set hardly at all! I found this card layout. I tweaked the colors and added a few things but it is basically the same. This layout could also be used for any small stamps that seem hard to use for cards. I really don't think that I could live without the scallop punch. It just makes a focal point so easy to come up with! For the ribbon, I just took a piece of Wild Wasabi double stitched ribbon and twisted it around and glue dotted it (heavily) to the back of the scallop piece. That piece is also popped up as it gets kind of bulky to glue flat. And I believe that you know how to make the scalloped edge? If not, or if you forgot just send me an e-mail. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

Toronto’s favourite folk rockers Birds of Bellwoods have released their very first music video for “Let You Go,” the third single from their upcoming album Victoria. Following a preview of the tune on CBC back in September, and a packed album preview show at The Mod Club, the band is back with more to hype up their anticipated debut album. “Let You Go” is a spirited break-up anthem full of catchy hooks and earnest vocals, and it’s getting us excited for the release of their new music.
The song will be available on all streaming and purchase services on October 20th. Until then, you can watch the video, have a dance party, and forget about all your troubles.
I’ve been involved in music my whole life and have developed a passion for helping out or working in the industry any way I can. I’m interested in helping talented artists gain the recognition they deserve in this crazy business. I am currently studying Communication Studies at York University in Toronto, and working at a local theatre doing marketing and communications, as well as helping out a local festival called Rock the Coliseum. Indie, alt-rock/pop, and metal are my favourites but I’m open to all music genres! If I’m not at a show, I’m doing yoga, grabbing coffee, or looking for some craft beer.

Pro Football Focus believes that trend could continue in 2020. In Mike Renner’s latest mock draft for next offseason, the PFF analyst has the Eagles selecting Washington defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike with the 27th overall pick.
Here’s Renner’s logic behind the selection:
“You know the Eagles can never get enough defensive linemen. Onwuzurike is one of our favorite breakout candidates for the 2019 season. He earned a 91.0 run-defense grade and 82.5 pass-rushing grade on only 391 snaps last year.”
Onwuzurike produced 34 tackles (6.5 for loss) and three sacks last season for the Huskies. Onwuzurike will be a junior this season, so he’s only played two years of college football. He’s collected a combined 50 tackles (10 for loss) and five sacks during his short college career.
The 6-foot-3, 293-pound lineman could be a breakout star during the upcoming campaign. If he plays well this season, he could boost his stock into the first-round range.
Onwuzurike would presumably play three-technique in Philadelphia. That could be a tough sell, as the Eagles already have Fletcher Cox and Malik Jackson signed to long-term contracts. That said, Timmy Jernigan and Hassan Ridgeway are both set to become free agents next offseason.
Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz favors heavy platoon rotations on the defensive line. Adding another first-round talent to the mix could be beneficial in that aspect. He could join Cox, Jackson, Brandon Graham and Derek Barnett to form a deep and disruptive defensive line group for the next few years.

I personally didn't upgrade the rear diff to the r180 because I love my wheels and tires (5x100) and have $3k worth of brake upgrades. Going with the r180 would mean having to get new wheels/tires, brakes, hubs, and the whole sha-bing, totally upwards of $4k when all is said and done.
You could have just stuck with '04 STI bits and not have to worry about swapping wheels and tires.
I just don't see how a new differential itself is really going to make that big a difference in the strength of the R160. The fact remains that it's a smaller diff using smaller gears that are more highly stressed than those in the R180.

The eagles haven't landed, but already the noble fliers have accomplished what a flock of protesters hasn't been able to do: block a Safeway supermarket and strip mall planned for Deale in southern Anne Arundel County.
For now, anyway.
Because a pine tree near the plaza site has a bald eagle's nest - one of seven in the county - state Department of Natural Resources guidelines say no construction can begin after Dec. 15 to avoid disturbing the threatened birds' winter mating habits.
Safeway cannot meet that deadline, meaning its bulldozers won't be able to fire up until after June 15, by which time any hatchlings should have taken flight, state officials say.
That is, if the birds show up as expected and hatch little eaglets into the world.
For the beleaguered grocery chain, it's the latest twist in a dispute that, at its most bizarre, saw foes unfurl a 12-foot papier-mache puppet of County Executive Janet S. Owens that was made to shimmy to a tune about sprawl. The Owens administration approved the Safeway project this month, after two self-imposed delays meant to ease opposition, but critics immediately filed an appeal.
Now, even a revered national symbol - one with far more symbolic potency than a forest full of spotted owls - seems to be conspiring against the Deale Safeway. It is the kind of clash that may become increasingly common, as the state's seasonal eagle population continues rising; 270 nests were counted last year compared with 41 in 1977.
"No one can argue with the American bald eagle - that's for sure," said Betty Dixon, the county's land-use and environmental program manager.
The 2-year-old Safeway dispute has stirred such deep distrust that project opponent Amanda Spake wondered aloud if the county would ignore the eagles' need for peace and quiet.(No way, said Dixon; county law requires state guidelines be followed.)
And the head of the development company working for Safeway confided that some in Deale have suggested the nest might be a fake planted by foes to stop development.(No way, said Spake, president of South Arundel Citizens for Responsible Development; her forces learned of the eagles' presence from others.)
Chris Bell of Greencastle Development of Annapolis said he has spoken to Glenn Therres, the state's bald eagle biologist, and is satisfied that the nest is real. He said he will not contest the delay.
"We're not trying to bulldoze the environment," Bell added.
The nest in question was used the last two winters and remains intact, said Therres. It is within one-quarter of a mile of the Safeway site, triggering the restriction on construction.
Ordinarily, the guidelines say no construction at all can occur between Dec. 15 and June 15 if a nest is less than a quarter-mile away. But the abundance of nearby stores, including a 7-Eleven, prompted state officials to modify the guidelines, Therres said.
"They're used to routine activity human-wise - cars, pedestrians, whatnot," he said of the Deale eagles. State officials will check the nest around March to see if the eagles are "on egg." If not, Bell could ask for a waiver to start clearing the site.
The number of eagles in Maryland and across the country has steadily climbed in recent decades.
Three years ago, the bald eagle was "downlisted" from endangered species to threatened, a change the state of Maryland adopted in September, according to Therres.


Lady Gaga has opened up about suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder during an emotional interview with the Today show.
On Monday, the 'Million Reasons' singer stopped by New York's Ali Forney Center, a shelter for homeless LGBT youth, as part of the show's #ShareKindness campaign.
As she hugged and chatted with the young people at the centre, the singer revealed for the first time that she suffered from PTSD.
"I told the kids today that I suffer from a mental illness," she later told the Today show hosts.
"I suffer from PTSD. I've never told anyone that before, so here we are. But the kindness that's been shown to me by doctors – as well as my family and friends – it's really saved my life."
The interview comes almost exactly two years after Gaga opened up about being raped at the age of 19, during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show.
The singer didn't tell anyone about what had happened for seven years. Looking back on that period, she says, "I'd been searching for ways to heal myself, and I've found that kindness is the best way. The one way to help people that have trauma is to inject them with as many positive thoughts as possible."
Gaga later shared a link to the Today video on her Twitter account, writing, "Today I shared one of my deepest secrets w/ the world. Secrets keep you sick w/ shame."
Last year, the star was also involved with the documentary The Hunting Ground, which looked deeper into the issue of sexual assault on college campuses. Gaga co-wrote the song 'Til It Happens To You' for the film and was nominated for Best Original Song at the 2016 Academy Awards for the track.

The run marks the end of a three month program designed to empower 3rd through 5th grade with self-esteem building through running. Downloadable audio.
Elena Gustafson, with Sitkans Against Family Violence (SAFV), is joined by young runners to talk about the pilot year of the Boys Run program and this weekend's 5K Fun Run.
Elena Gustafson, with Sitkans Against Family Violence, talks about a new program for boys in grades through 3-5 called Boys Run. It's based on the successful national self-esteem and empowerment program for girls called Girls on the Run. Boys Run, however, will be built on traditional Southeast values.


The boys over at North Street Labs built a handheld burning laser and made it look super simple. Well it’s not. We don’t think it’s hard either, but the only reason it looks so easy is because they really know what they’re doing.

No Surprises Impacts All Physicians in 2022
The “No Surprises” Act impacts all physicians in 2022! Obviously, there are big changes for out-of-network (OON) billing. But all practices and departments need to get ready quickly as these requirements go into effect January 1, 2022:
- All providers, even those fully in-network, must publish and publicize information about the No Surprises Act.
- Almost all out-of-network billing reimbursement and patient billing will be required to change.
- Any referrals or scheduled procedures for self-pay or uninsured patients will require a good-faith cost estimate.
- Billing must consider state as well as federal “No Surprises” legislation.
Setting aside the current debate about how disputes should be settled (see “No Surprises” Act, Physicians Lose), here is why the No Surprises Impacts all Physicians, starting in January.
First, we should note that the federal No Surprises rules apply to
- All out-of-network emergency services,
- Including post-stabilization care at out-of-network facilities until a patient can be safely transferred to a different facility,
- All air ambulance transports,
- All non-emergency out-of-network services delivered at or ordered from an in-network facility, unless the provider follows the notice and consent process.
- All care during such a visit by any provider is limited to in-network cost sharing, unless notice and consent criteria are met (see below).
In other words, the new rules apply to the vast majority of OON billing situations. The only exception appears to be services delivered at an OON facility.
It’s also worth noting that payers can no longer second-guess payment for emergency treatment. Emergency services are required to be covered
- Without prior authorization.
- Regardless of whether the provider is an in-network provider or an in-network emergency facility.
- Without limiting what constitutes an emergency medical condition solely on the basis of diagnosis codes.
Publish No Surprises Act Information
The first way that No Surprises Impacts all Physicians is that all providers are required to post a one-page notice with “information in clear and understandable language” on:
- The restrictions on providers and facilities regarding balance billing,
- Any applicable state law protections against balance billing, and
- How to contact appropriate state and federal agencies when an individual believes that a provider or facility has violated the restrictions against balance billing.
A model notice that providers can use, if they wish, is available from CMS here.
Out of Network Billing: Adding Complexity for Providers
According to Experian Health,
“Creating a “no surprises” billing experience will require payers and providers to make major process changes. Roger Johnson, VP of Payer Solutions at Experian Health, says, “The new regulations require the industry to innovate significantly in a very short timeframe. Determining network status is a huge challenge for providers, as is engaging patients electronically pre-service. There will also be challenges in tracking and submitting consent forms, producing Good Faith Estimates, applying appropriate cost-sharing, billing, payment reconciliation, and the new dispute resolution process.”
One major challenge for physician billing will be determining the patient portion to be billed. Fortunately, much of the information needed for the patient portion is supposed to be provided on updated insurance cards.
- The No Surprises Act requires plans to include applicable deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums and contact information on physical or electronic ID cards. However, CMS has not issues specific rules for this requirement and they aren’t expected until next year.
- In the meantime, payers are required to use “methods that are reasonably designed and implemented” to provide the required information to all of their customers. CMS will consider
- Is each specific data element on the card?
- Are required data elements not included on the face of an ID card made available through information provided on the ID card?
- What mode is used to provide information absent from the card?
As a result, in many cases, it may be possible to determine the patient responsible amount and issue a bill. For non-emergency situations, these amounts could potentially be collected in advance.
Of course, the larger issue is the amount that can be collected from the payer (insurance company). This is where controversy exists (see “No Surprises” Act, Physicians Lose). Under current rules, the OON payment rate is
- Any State law or All-Payer Model Agreement mandated rate,
- The amount agreed by the parties or
- The lesser of the billed amount or the Qualified Payment Amount (QPA), unless the payer decides to pay a different amount.
The QPA is defined as the median of the contracted rates recognized by the health plan on January 31, 2019 for the same or similar item or service provided by a similar provider in the same geographic region, and indexed for inflation. That amount is to be paid within 30 days of receiving the bill.
As a result, while the physician can bill at a “normal” OON rate, the expected payment will typically be much lower. After an initial payment is received, the provider, if dissatisfied, can initiate a negotiation, starting a 30-day clock for the provider and insurer to settle.
If there is no agreement after 30 days, the parties enter a “final offer” arbitration. Both sides submit their best offer and an arbitrator picks one. This is the “Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR)” process.
If a provider starts the IDR process, both the provider and the health plan will submit a proposed payment to a CMS-approved arbitrator, along with information on the following factors:
- The calculated QPA
- The provider’s training and experience
- The complexity of the procedure or medical decision-making
- The patient’s acuity
- The market share of the health plan, and the provider
- Whether the care was provided at a teaching facility
- The scope of services
- Any demonstration of good faith efforts to agree on a payment amount; and
- The contracted rates from the prior year
The arbitrator will then choose one of the two proposals as the amount of the payment. Under the current regulations, the arbitrator cannot come up with his or her own payment amount. Arbitrators are paid through fees assessed to the entities that use the IDR process.
Obviously, this is an onerous and expensive process, even it is undertaken to deal with multiple situations and payments (which appears to be possible though those procedures are not defined). The risk to OON providers (and the source of most of the recent controversy) is that the current No Surprises Interim Final Rules tell the arbitrator that the Qualified Payment Amount (QPA) is the most appropriate rate to consider!
Notice and Consent for OON Services and Billing
There is an exception for patients who wish to voluntarily use an out-of-network provider when a “substantive choice” exists. In this case, an OON provider must notify a patient of its OON status and get the patient’s written consent to receive OON services, at OON rates, at least 72 hours prior to the services, or 3 hours before for a same-day appointment. The consent form must indicate
- Whether pre-authorization is required,
- What in-network providers are available, and
- A good-faith cost estimate for the total bills for the proposed out-of-network care
While detailed rules on the consent process have not been published, it appears that OON consent can be on a provider-by-provider, or service-by-service basis. In the case where a service involves a number of OON providers, consent must be obtained for each. Or, if obtained on a service basis, the good-faith cost estimate must encompass all OON providers.
Good Faith Estimates for Self-Pay and Uninsured
Starting in January, a provider must give an uninsured (or self-pay) patient a good faith estimate of expected charges after an item or service is scheduled, or upon request. Note that this is another case where the No Surprises Impacts all Physicians! This requirement applies to all providers and health care facilities, whether in network or not. In other words, every healthcare provider must be prepared to provide the good faith estimate upon request of any uninsured or self-pay patient, including those who choose to have a procedure done without submitting it to their insurance.
Here are the specific requirements:
- Within 1 business day after scheduling (when service is scheduled at least 3 business days before the patient is seen) or
- No later than 3 business days after scheduling (when service is scheduled at least 10 business days before delivery), depending on scheduling; or
- Within 3 business days after an uninsured (or self-pay) consumer requests a good faith estimate.
The good faith estimate should use clear and understandable language and include an itemized list of each item or service, grouped by provider or facility. Each item or service is to have details and the expected charge. A paper or electronic copy is to be provided, even if the information is communicated on the phone or verbally in-person.

Over the course of four years, one Gulfstream employee allegedly stole over $2,000 worth of tools.
Adam Snyder, 38, of 2441 W. CR 250S, Warsaw, was arrested Thursday afternoon for two felony charges of theft.
On Dec. 3, a Gulfstream employee reported the theft of a DeWalt tool bag valued at $600. According to the probable cause affidavit provided by Kosciusko County prosecutors, the bag was stolen on Nov. 30.
Surveillance video from Gulfstream shows Snyder arrive at work carrying only a lunchbox and leave that day with a DeWalt drill bag, according to the affidavit. An employee told police that all Gulfstream tools can be indentified by engravings.
When contacted by police, Snyder admitted to stealing the tools. Snyder took police to his tool shed and gave them the contents of the DeWalt bag. He also gave police other air tools he had stolen worth over $2,200. Snyder admitted to stealing the tools over the past four years.
Snyder was booked into Kosciusko County Jail with a $5,250 bond.

Gig Review: Last Shadow Puppets
On the 16th of July, The Last Shadow Puppets played Alexandra Palace in London. Somehow, we went, and it was one of the best nights of our lives. Five minutes in and I (Elli) took my chucks off so I could dance with more freedom and with added assurance that I would gain zero blisters as a result. With nothing on my feet all night bar a fun pair of red woolen socks with tiny hotdogs embroidered on them, I was beyond content. At least, it was a warm notion at first, until it surely became a very uncomfortable reality after stepping in puddles of beer and having my little toes trodden 66+ times collectively. It was all child's play, though because nothing (NOTHING) was going to take away from the experience of seeing Miles Kane and Alex Turner in the flesh.
We arrived just in time to catch the end of the opening acts and started the set somewhere between the middle and the back of the audience. A song or two later and a couple minutes spent bouncing around a black hole of sweaty, moshing concert-goers and we found ourselves metres from the stage. As far as I'm concerned the rest of the night was a welcome blur of blood, sweat, tears, laughs and a ridiculously near-successful attempt at getting backstage. Of course such a glorious blur couldn't possibly warrant any gig review other than one of cold, hard photographic memories, so from here on in there'll be less words (none actually) and a summary in pictures. Nothing new from me really. Hamish was armed with a trusty disposey too, so we've come out the other end with a nice collection together to at least remember a night that even photos could never, ever retell.

I'm very pleased to report that I will be signing copies of Primeval Wood at the 2009 Rue Morgue Festival of Fear, which takes place August 28th - 30th at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (222 Bremner Blvd., South Building).
I'll be signing at the Burning Effigy Press table, which will be located in the Horror Area (Where else would you look for me, really?) of the convention centre. My signing times are:
Saturday, August 29th - 11am until 2pm
Sunday, August 30th - 11am until 1pm
There will be other BE horror authors signing throughout the weekend as well, so I encourage you to stop by and support a great local small press who are doing their part for horror.
The guest list for this year's FoF is impressive as always and once again showcases the genre's many facets (literature, film, visual arts, music). Rue Morgue's is truly the Godzilla-on-steroids of horror conventions. It's a massive, blood-spattered juggernaut that is frankly so much fun it should be illegal. I'm extremely honoured to have been invited to be a part of it.

Less than a decade ago, during the 111th Congress, Democrats held a majority of U.S. House seats in the (now very red) states of Arkansas (three of four seats), Indiana (five of nine), Mississippi (three of four), North Dakota (at-large), South Dakota (at-large), Tennessee (five of nine), and West Virginia (two of three). Cumulatively, Democrats held 20 of these 31 seats. Democrats don’t own delegation majorities in any of those seven states today and control just five of 31 seats: two in Indiana, one in Mississippi, and two in Tennessee. Twelve of these 15 former Democratic-controlled seats were lost after the GOP landslide of 2010.
None of these 7 states are expected to have a D-majority delegation after all the votes are tabulated – which, with luck, should be completed by a week or a ‘scaramucci’ after the Third of November. Indeed, the fact that the Democrats now hold a clear majority of the lower chamber seats with barely a presence in these and other similar venues is a testament to the party’s increasing strength in and reliance upon populous and/or coastal states for their base of support.
Two open seats in IN have at least an outside chance of party switches. The “North Suburbs & Kokomo” district (Susan Lynn Wiant Brooks; R; former US Attorney for SD of IN) is comprised mainly of upper-income, highly-educated voters, many of whom are more and more dismayed with the type of Republican politics practiced by the current WH occupant. The other, the “Gary & Northwest” district of departing Democrat Peter John Visclosky, does have some R-leaning rural regions, though the votes of those areas may not be enough to overcome the dominant Lake County, particularly in what is shaping up to be a banner Democratic year, with IE groups like “43 Alumni for Biden” boosting their prospects.


New Delhi, Oct 5 The S-400 Triumf, that India is buying from Russia, is something that the world fears. The anti-missile air defense system has the capacity to shoot down even the American stealth jet fighters like America's F-35. Let us look at some facts about the Triumf. China has already bought this system
*The S-400 missile system is capable of destroying incoming missiles, drones and hostile aircraft within a range of up to 400 km. The tracking range of S-400 actually goes up to 600 km.
*The S-400 system, called ‘Growler’ by NATO countries, is capable of tracking 300 targets * It can shoot down around 36 targets in one go within a range of up to 400 * It hits targets at a speed of 17,000 km/ hour.* Triumf is designed to knock down aerodynamic flying targets, including targets with stealth technologies like America's jet fighter F-35
* The system has 8 launchers, a control center, a powerful radar and 16 missiles that are available for reload* The system is capable of firing three types of missiles, hence creating a layered defence for any country that owns it.* India will deploy 3 Triumfs on Pakistan border and 2 on China border* China will start getting systems from 2017News24Bureau

Africa leads the way with utilities now payable with Bitcoinby Cyril Gilson @ 2014-05-30 02:17 PM
While Africa’s first Bitcoin ATM is installed in Johannesburg, the city is also host to a company that allows its electricity customers to use Bitcoin to top up their prepaid meters.
Invirohub, a smart meter developer owned by the Bidvest Group, has designed an integrated appliance to facilitate Bitcoin payments. According to local online magazine TechCentral.za, each meter will have a Bitcoin address associated with it, to which users then send a payment once the feature is enabled.
Once the transaction is approved, funds are automatically credited to the meter, which is also equipped with a built-in 3G SIM card and can connect to a server to calculate the correct exchange rate at the time of purchase.
The move, technical director Lorien Gamaroff said, was the first step in a major expansion plan, with a manufacturing plant in South Africa to be accompanied by major integration with the Nigerian market.
This will complement Invirohub’s existing operation, which uses Israeli-made technology to manufacture the meters locally with software also coming from the local scene.
Despite customers so far not making use of the Bitcoin option, Gamaroff remains confident for the future, sentiment which is seeing support across South Africa and the rest of the continent.
Both hardware and other infrastructure innovations are making waves in Africa, from remittance challengers in Kenya to the impressive charity work of Alakanani Itireleng in Botswana. With Invirohub, however, the continent is witnessing more than development; it is becoming a place of firsts, something which for more than the Bitcoin community will hold a great deal of promise.

It is almost impossible to find a picture of Chuck Berry where he isn’t holding a guitar, typically a Gibson ES-350T or ES-335. Although the 335 is probably more common in the photo vaults, most of records that Berry made during his heyday in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s – “Maybelline,” “Johnny B. Goode,” “Roll Over Beethoven” etc. – were cut with the 350T.
The 350T is a semi-acoustic archtop, something of a cross between an amplified acoustic guitar such as the ES-150 and full solid bodies such as the Les Paul. A solid center block permitted electric amplification without too much feedback, while the hollow pockets on both sides of the guitar featured f-shaped sound holes which permitted the instrument to be played acoustically. Like most of the guitars of its era, it was intended for guitarists playing in the jazz orchestras popular at the time. Its arched body is a piece of craftsmanship, the work of a master luthier. They cost shit-tons of money.
For the last 50 years the design of a “guitar” has been more or less set: 6 strings and a 19-24 fret neck attached to a hollow or solid body. Back when the ES-350T was built, however, this style was still referred to as a “Spanish” guitar to distinguish it from Hawaiian guitars designed to be played on a user’s lap. “The “ES,” then, stands for Electric Spanish, the 350 was the recommended price, and the T meant that the guitar was a thin body, meaning that it is a couple of inches less deep than a standard acoustic guitar.
Berry, obviously, took the guitar in a whole different direction than big band jazz, playing it at a high volume through tube amps producing a slightly distorted sound. The guitar sounds spectacular this way, with thick tone and a highly responsive fret board.
Sadly, though, you can’t get much of a feel for Berry’s sound from his classic recordings. Let’s be honest with ourselves – Berry’s work in the late 50's Chess Records wasn't very well recorded. Far from being blistering rock and roll you would expect, the sound is thin and anemic. Berry's guitar sounds like it's being played through a clock radio speaker.
This poor sound quality almost forces you to picture Berry's music in its temporal context. It makes sense to hear it blasting out of a ‘54 Chevy in a movie, and zero sense blasting out of a 2013 Honda Civic. It all ends up like Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock,” a museum piece to be gaped at.
There was something of a great leap forward in musical production in the early 60's which Berry unfortunately missed. I can't give a technological explanation for it – it might just be that rock acts were no longer being produced by disgruntled big band enthusiasts. Whatever caused it, the muddled and tinny sound of 1959 singles like Dion's “The Wanderer” gave way to the clarity of a Highway 61 Revisited. Singles from 1964, such as the Stones’ “Get Off of My Cloud,” are still being played on the radio today, but you will almost never hear Berry or his contemporaries.
Monster hits with stunning guitar work, but indifferently recorded. Berry’s later live recordings, such as the 1972 version of “Reelin’ and Rockin,’” surpass the originals in all respects. Even the extended dick joke “My Ding-A-Ling” (also live, and inexplicably Berry’s only number 1 single) is a production festival compared to the Chess recordings, despite the fact the instrumentation consists of a single guitar and 2,000 drunk people.
So how do you get your head around the artist and his guitar that shook the world? If you happen to play guitar and have $6,500.00 lying around, you can buy a 350T and spend an afternoon chugging away on Berry riffs until your neighbors begin to retaliate. A few days ago musician/rampaging bigot Ted Nugent did just this, posting an intense version of “Johnny B. Goode” on Facebook. It’s amazing, and worth a listen if you can tolerate looking at Nugent’s face for three minutes (how Turbo Ted makes his love of Berry jive with his hatred of minorities is best left between him and his god and/or psychologist).
If you don’t play the guitar or haven’t won the lotto recently, you can run down some of Berry’s live concerts on YouTube, particularly the 1969 Toronto Peace Festival. You will find something totally different from the studio recordings. The Toronto “Maybelline” is a wild stomp and its original B side, “In the Wee Wee Hours,” is a muscular blues. The video also features standards like “I’m a Man” and an absolute flamethrower version of “Johnny B. Goode.” You can also check out “Live at the Roxy” from 1982, which features equally great stuff.
I promise you, it will be worth the effort.


The third race in a row in Summit Racing EDRS Series this month is Vårgårda Dragway Nationals 2017 . Vårgårda Dragway is a very popular track and 110 teams have register for this event!
With less than a week to go, the 2017 FIA European Drag Racing Championship kicks off with The Main Event at Santa Pod Raceway. All drivers will start from zero again and they all have a fair chance of leading the championship in their respective categories after one race. But more important is the question of who will have that number one at the end of the season after six races. In Top Fuel, reigning champion Anita Mäkelä will face some strong competition, but the same can be said about champion Michael Gullqvist in Pro Modified. Pro Stock will have a new number one at the end of the season as 10-time FIA European champion Jimmy Ålund will not defend his title. Top Methanol will see the first European champion in the new combined Funny Car and Dragster competition. Continue reading
