Structures of Nature & Structures of Form
Program Notes –
Structures of Nature and Structures of Form are two programs investigating the ways in which cinematic stories can be constructed. While the substance of each work may be different, they all begin with editing and animation as the basic core building blocks with a mind towards how a work may be sculpted rather than simply put forward in a traditional linear fashion. Incorporating improvisation, repetition, looping, and spirals as metaphors for how a piece may unfold, the program is broken into two distinct themes.
Structures of Nature deals with works that have been made in tandem with the natural world in large part from diary based expeditions in which images taken at a specific moment in time are later re-constructed to expand upon the notion of what existed in that particular moment in time. The films Yard Sitting, Oceanic Rounds, An Eastardly Journey, Coastal Observations, Windy Beach Morning, and An Afternoon Stroll at Thousand Acres Park, were all made with a still camera and combining multiple images together in repetitive loops with live and recorded audio to both mimic the natural world, while also diving deeper into what may exist in a plane just on the other side of our own perceptions. East Lake Sans Souci and HearNW were both shot on a Super 16mm camera in which the image extends into the area upon which a soundtrack might traditionally be laid, so that the image itself is creating sound. These two films expand upon this notion of what a photographed nature sounds like, both as improvised and composed layering of sound and image. Home is Heart is a hand drawn stop motion animation utilizing loops to examine how our breath, and pumping blood is directly tied to the continual rhythms of our home, Earth. Finally EARTH by the Cult of Ma and Quilt Patch Landscape incorporate digitally edited found footage and hand made direct animated loops to create “still moving images, or matte based films” in which the axis of linearity extended into the “z” or inwards, rather than the traditional “y”, or left to right. Similarly to the films listed in the first program, Structures of Form offers a glimpse into alternative methods for storytelling. Que Pasado, Episode 8 of the Lyric Project, The Oregon Fruit Tramp, and DEVOUR all embody live action narratives utilizing repetition, re-timing, and re-mixing, to help drive stories of loss, change, and trickery. Les Images Des Une Image, Blackhole Anteater Plays Home, A Growing Seeds Animation, and Juxtaposition are documentaries on an idea, persons, and places created as improvisational experimentations involving a single image, a musician, a group of 3 year olds, and the colors and shapes in an urban setting. Flip Flop, A Thauma-Tale, and Between the Lines, are animation based works using hand drawings, cut out, and digital effects to bring a story down to its most simplistic level, an action that sets off a path to other actions. Finally Words is a work playing with timing, re-structuring, repetition, and cyclical improvisation, as three words continually change to create different emotional statements.
Ben Popp is a filmmaker, animator, curator, and educator. Born in New Mexico where he was first introduced to animation and home movies using the family VHS camera. In 1999 Ben moved to Milwaukee Wisconsin where he got his hands dirty with 16mm in large part due to the Riverwest Film Co-Op and the kind hearted Micalea O’Herlihy. He returned to NM to finish a degree in Media Arts from the University of New Mexico before heading to Chicago where at the School of the Art Institute he began to work more with matting, and combining super 8, 16mm, and digital media, beginning to understand more the idea of structuralism and how this particular medium might be sculpted by time. In 2007 he received his MFA and moved across the country to Portland, Oregon. Here Ben co-found a microcinema, Grand Detour, with artists Dustin Zemel, Hannah Piper Burns, and Karl Lind. The cinema programmed works by both local, regional, and touring media artists. During this time Ben began teaching animation and video to youth throughout the greater Portland area while also teaching workshops at colleges such as Pacific University and Dartmouth College. In 2012 Grand Detour, now under Ben and Hannah Piper Burns created the Experimental Film Festival Portland, a five day festival highlighting single channel, multi-channel, and performative works from local, national, and International media artists. In 2014 Ben was awarded the prestigious Oregon Media Arts Fellowship and the following year took over the long-running Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival for the Northwest Film Center. He is currently the Head of Artist Services for the Portland Art Museum’s Center for an Untold Tomorrow and teaches animation through Portland State University’s School of Art + Design.

SAM TAM HAM is an interdisciplinary artist from Aotearoa New Zealand, based in Portland,
OR (stolen Chinook territory). Their practice functions more like an ecology than a discipline.
A messy but creatively and critically fertile nexus of intersecting inquiries. Whether as film,
sound, installation, writing, painting, or performance, Sam has worked across the globe
presenting work at Whitechapel Gallery, Portland Art Museum, Issue Project Room (NYC),
ARTSPACE Aotearoa (NZ), Transmediale (Berlin), and much more.
In ALWAYS PREGNANT PAUSE, sam presents four artist film-works shot on celluloidal
moving image film. Each film is a no-edit single-take shot employing the full end-to-end
length of a roll of film (both 16mm & super 8) as parameters for determining the length of a
performance. Treating the material film like a stage or a canvas where defined physical
limitations intrinsically dictate the shape of that which inhabits them. Although a variety of
concepts are explored across the 4x works, they’re all pregnant pauses. Prefaces to
meaning. Rather than explaining themselves with easily consumable deliverables, they
require you to invest yourself a little more than usual. Only getting something out of them if
you’re willing to put something in.

Sou’wester Arts Week 2022 Extended Run – The Cabin Carport Projections
|Sou’wester Arts Week 2022 artists Nicky Kriara & Cory Gray, Bobbie Robinson & Jordan Badger, Andie Sterling, and Rachel Blumberg created the four films featured in our spring Red Bus program. The filmmakers inhabited our four cabins during Arts Week 2022 and projected these films in the cabin carports during the closing weekend’s exhibitions, performances and installations. The four films screened alongside each other, layered over two beautiful sets of live music from drummers Bobbie Robinson and Rachel Blumberg (accompanied by Cory Gray), alongside the interactive environmental art installation of ceramist Nicky Kriara, and transforming the cabin into a tidal, “living projection” by the hand of animator Andie Sterling. What remains as traces of Arts Week, in all its light and sound leaking of one project to the next, are these films, featured here, concentrated and focused, on a loop starting May 10.|
Belgian filmmaker Anouk De Clercq is our featured Artist-In-Residence in the lead up to Sou’wester Arts Week 2022. Anouk’s residency will culminate in daily screenings of One (2020), OK (2021) and We’ll find you when the sun goes black (2021); on rotation beginning Thursday, March 24th in the Sou’wester’s red bus micro cinema. Free and open to the public 5-9 p.m. daily.

My fellow HGRG committee member Natalie Cox is currently undertaking a research fellowship at the Huntington Library in California. Natalie was kind enough to call up the Huntington’s copies of Travels in Europe, Asia, and Africa to check for indicators of provenance. Both copies of the book contain what appear to be contemporary bookplates, although I will need to dig a little deeper to attribute them properly.
Unidentified Ex Libris. The Huntington Library, call number 355653.
The bookplate in call number 355653 is listed in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s John Starr Stewart Ex Libris Collection, but does not contain an attribution.
John Coore’s Ex Libris. The Huntington Library, call number 357106.
Although the bookplate pasted into call number 357106 makes quite clear that the book belonged to one John Coore, it is not immediately apparent which John Coore this is. One possibility (assuming he was a contemporary owner of the book) is that he is the John Coore who built Ivy House in Golders Hill, where Anna Pavlova (the famous ballerina) later lived. Clearly more digging will have to be done to separate conjecture from likelihood.
Deirdre Grieve at Glasgow Cathedral.
I was fortunate today to meet up in Glasgow with the great, great, great, great grandniece of William Macintosh, Deirdre Grieve, and her son Dorian. Deirdre has for some time been interested in William Macintosh, from whose sister she is descended, and has done some fantastic genealogical research. Deirdre, Dorian, and I were able to share some snippets and stories before visiting the grave of William’s brother, George, and George’s son Charles (the eponymous inventor of the Macintosh waterproofing process), in the grounds of Glasgow Cathedral.
George Macintosh (1739–1807). Glasgow Museums.
George Macintosh was a successful industrialist who owned a large cudbear dying works in Glasgow, which operated for more than three quarters of a century from the 1770s. George and his wife, Mary (née Moore), are commemorated on their son’s gravestone. The inscription reads
Here is interred,
Campsie, and Dunchattan.
And Fellow of the
Royal Society of London.
Son of George Macintosh,
and Mary Moore,
both also here interred,
and the great grandson
of the last Provost
John Anderson of Douhill.
Born 1766. Died, 1843.
Deirdre’s neighbour, who joined us later to chat about William Macintosh, is Nigel Leask, Regius Chair of English Language and Literature at the University of Glasgow.

Championship Week has begun and already we’ve witnessed a fairly shocking upset. Longwood (7-24) knocked off UNC-Asheville (16-16) in the first round of the Big South Tournament. In non-Championship Week action, Ohio State beat Indiana in Assembly Hall, and punches were thrown at the end of the St. John’s-Notre Dame game.
Let’s hit the links.
Tuesday’s Top games:
7:00 p.m. – No. 5 Georgetown @ Villanova
7:00 p.m. – No. 7 Michigan @ Purdue
7:00 p.m. – No. 13 Oklahoma State @ Iowa State
7:00 p.m. – North Carolina @ Maryland
8:00 p.m. – Richmond @ No. 21 VCU
9:00 p.m. – No. 16 Saint Louis @ Xavier
11:00 p.m. – Stanford @ Cal
Stifling defense leads No. 14 Ohio State to win over No. 2 Indiana:Aaron Craft is known for his relentless defense. But the junior guard got some help on Tuesday night from Shannon Scott, as the guards thwarted the Hoosiers en route to a 67-58 road win.
Indiana flirting with losing grip on top seeds in NCAA, B1G tourneys: All of a sudden, Indiana, who many believed to be the best team in the country heading into Tuesday night, no longer has themselves locked into a No. 1 seed thanks to a disappointing loss on Senior Night to Ohio State.
Ejections made after fight breaks out between Notre Dame, St. John’s (VIDEO): Sir’Dominic Pointer and Cam Biedscheid got into a fight as Jack Cooley was heading to the bench for the final time at the Joyce Center. It was an ugly way to end Senior Night.
Illinois hits bad shooting slump in loss to Iowa: Shooting slumps have plagued Illinois for much of their recent losing streak. The Illini shot just 29 percent from the floor during last night’s 63-55 road loss to Iowa.
Arkansas made their statement to the committee: we stink: It’s not just that Arkansas is bad on the road. They’re just not very good in general.
DJ Cooper does something that’s never been done before: The Ohio senior guard became the first person in NCAA history to register a career stat line eclipsing 2,000 points, 900 assists, 600 rebounds, and 300 steals.

The elegance and quality of Made in Italy are an icon of style in the world.
In Italy there are many realities that still today are able to preserve the traditions of the past and that have the mastery of being generated according to needs and fashion.
If we talk about style, quality and TRUE Made in Italy, then we are definitely talking about CROMIA, a brand born in 2003 thanks to the far-sightedness and intelligence of the Sciamanna family, which already boasted a successful leather processing company since 1963.
The collections of CROMIA bags are not a simple accessory, but represent the personality of those who choose their bags. From the modern lines, from the perfect manufacture and obviously, from a very rich choice of colors and styles, CROMIA has the extraordinary talent to realize a vast collection of bags that respond to every type of request, even for the most demanding customers.
If we think of savoir fair and elegance, in addition to the dress, it is surely "the accessory" that makes the difference to an outfit, capable of giving that unique accent of style and glamor.
For a woman the bag represents her most secret soul, because in it she puts all she needs and, if a bag reflects the personality and character of a woman, then surely she will have chosen, as a faithful friend, one of the beautiful creations CROMIA.

New research shows that between 440 million and 880 million tons of insects are eaten every year by around 27 million tons of spiders.
The study, published in the journal The Science of Nature, estimates that the amount of food that spiders ingest annually can be compared to the volume of food that whales consume each year, a number that stands between 300 million and 550 million tons of food.
Martin Nyffeler, a biologist from the University of Basel in Switzerland, and Klaus Birkhofer from the Brandenburg University of Technology in Germany conducted the study.
The scientist evaluated spiders from seven terrestrial biomes: tropical forests, temperate and boreal forests, tropical grasslands and savannas, temperate grasslands and Mediterranean shrublands, annual cropland, deserts and Arctic tundra.
From the 45,000 species of spiders identified in the world, scientist estimate that there are around 131 spiders per square meter of land on the planet, and in some cases, the estimate rises to 1,000 spiders per square meter.
The employed methods
Spiders are predominantly carnivores; they feed on insects and in some cases other spiders. Researchers found it difficult to measure the impact of spiders on their prey because they often hunt at night or at places that are difficult to watch. For this reason, they started by measuring the number of spiders in the world.
Researchers used previously published data containing the weight of all the spiders (biomass) in the world from seven terrestrial biomes. Afterward, they used a global land cover for each type of environment to estimate spider biomass on the planet, arriving at 25 million metric tons (27 million U.S tons).
Once they estimated the spider’s biomass, Nyffeler and Birkhofer used two methods to determine the amount of food that the arachnids consume yearly.
The first method was calculating how much food a spider needs to survive, depending on its body mass. For most spiders, they estimate that the number stands at 0.1 milligrams of food per milligram of spider, or about 10 percent of the spider’s body weight on a daily basis.
However, for desert spiders, which have evolved to survive under difficult circumstances, the number stands between 0.01 and 0.04 milligrams of food per milligram of a spider. Researchers were able to estimate a range of food varying from 507 million to 772 million U.S tons (460 million and 700 million metric tons of prey per year).
The second method they employed consisted in extrapolating data from researchers on the field, meaning that they studied data from scientists that had counted the number of preys a spider eats. With this method, they estimated a food range between 435 million and 887 million U.S tons (395 million and 805 million metric tons).
Researchers can’t tell how many spiders there are in the world
The authors found that insects and collembolans -springtails, like fleas- make up for about 90 percent of spider’s prey. The other 10 percent -which is associated with larger species of spiders- is distributed among worms, small vertebrates like birds, bats or mice, and even snakes.
The study also shows that spiders from forests and grasslands kill almost 95 percent of the prey. This happens because spiders in forests and grasslands have more ground to cover and their habitats are rarely disturbed by humans. In turn, spiders living in annual crops, for example, have to deal with pesticides as well as human activities, and they only make up for less than 2 percent of the annual prey kill.
Martin Nyffeler talked to Live Science regarding his research, and he explains that for now, it is impossible to determine how many insects are needed to get to 800 million U.S tons, or how many spiders are required to put together 27 million tons.
He claims that there’s too much variation in the estimates, seeing that no one has been able to assess how many spiders there are in the world. He added that in 1947, a British arachnologist estimated that there were approximately 2.2 trillion spiders in England and Wales alone.
Nyffeler and Birkhofer concluded their research noting the spiders’ unique role in terrestrial food webs.
“The estimated standing biomass of the global spider community is impressive. There are few groups of terrestrial predaceous arthropods that can compare with spiders in terms of abundance and biomass. An exception are ants, but most species of ants are omnivorous” they wrote on the research.

Complex diseases (also known as multifactorial diseases), as its name suggests, are diseases caused by a complicated combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. These diseases do not have single distinct causes or genes responsible, which makes risk assessment and early screening difficult. Yet some of them display strong association with certain genetic characteristics and family history, suggesting that genetic factors play an important role in the cause of these diseases.
Thus, BethBio developed an accurate risk prediction of complex diseases for individuals, through an integrated consideration of human genome data, epigenome and multi-omics health datasets. In particular, our team developed the Prism-Vote framework that can account for heterogeneous risk effects and complex traits across populations, which greatly improves our tests’ performances in data consisting of multiple populations or exhibits high degree of genetic variance, over other existing methods. Adding clinical parameters could further enhance its performance.
Besides higher accuracy, our tests are also highly tolerant to different data structures and could work on genome data with minimum prior formatting or cleaning, especially suitable for processing large numbers of human genome sequences. The test has been validated using large amounts of real world data in one of our collaborations and can be provided in wide-range screening settings for primary care organizations, genetic testing companies and the insurance industry. BethBio does not keep client’s genetic data and the analysis could be done via cloud computing platforms to ensure anonymity and data security.
Tests are available for various complex disorder, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Schizophrenia. We welcome commercial requests for developing tests for other diseases, or other human genome interpretation projects as well.

It’s been almost three years since The Dark Knight took over theaters and kicked the corny out of the Superhero film. After an Oscar worthy performance from the late Heath Ledger, high acclaim from film critics and over $1 billion in worldwide revenue, it was a no-brainier for the studio to go ahead with a third film in the series. News has been slow, but finally one major character was revealed: Catwoman. After months of speculation, it was revealed that Anne Hathaway will hopefully be suiting up in the famous iconic suit.
Christopher Nolan has made sure that his inception of Batman is far from the cartoonish films of the 90s. Although we still don’t know whether Hathaway will be playing the outrageous Cat or the modest Selena Kyle or, as many fans hope, truly show the transformation and play both characters, fans of the film are patiently waiting for the films release, or at least some more leaks.
How does Hathaway stack up against other famous women who took on the role of Catwoman?
That voice was made for this role. Every line that she spoke during the television series seemed to sound like a small and seductive purr. We can only hope that Hathaway is able to bring some of the same charisma that Kitt was able to display on the small screen.
“Honey I’m home! Oh I forgot. I’m not married.”
Many might agree that Michele Pfeiffer is the Cat to beat. The red lipstick, the painted on costume, the long whip. Her portrayal of the character seemed to be ripped right out of the comic book. Not only was she convincing in the role of Catwoman, but she also had the vulnerability needed to play the coy and meek Selena Kyle as well.
This film probably won’t be listed on Halle Berry’s long list of accomplishments. Once images first emerged of her online with a leather bra and destroyed leather pants, fans were already calling the film a disaster. Everything from the music to the script was wrong. Although the title character was unnoticeable, Berry was extremely convincing in the role of Patience Phillips—the shy employee who apparently had to undergo a name change for the “landmark” film.
Don’t count Anne Hathaway out just yet. She didn’t earn an Oscar nomination for her dark turn in “Rachel Getting Married” for nothing. She just might have the goods to truly fade to black in the Dark Knight Rises. Only time will tell.

MET-eoric moments: Best of MET Gala 2022 red carpet
The first Monday of May was restored to its honorary position after fashion’s biggest night, the MET Gala, was cancelled in 2020 and postponed not long ago when Kim Kardashian climbed the Met steps in her head-to-toe black Balenciaga look in September 2021. Interpreting the theme, In America: An Anthology of Fashion, celebs showed up in elaborate outfits with intricate designs and exaggerated silhouettes, exploring the origins of American fashion and celebrating the unsung heroes of US design.
The Met Gala has grown to become a much-awaited and loved celebration of fashion, which is organised and presided over by Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue since 1995. While everyone knows it as the hyped fashion night featuring avant-garde ensembles, it is, in fact, a charity event that is a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and is timed to mark the opening of its annual fashion exhibition.
Below are some of the celebrities who got the memo right when it came to the Gilded Glamour and White Tie dress code for the night:
As one of the co-chairs of the event, the pressure was real for actor Blake Lively to be dressed to the nines, and she delivered. Wearing a shimmering rose gold metallic gown with a copper train by Versace, she stopped the show halfway up the famous Met stairs when Lively transformed the bow of her copper train to reveal a second cape in sparkling aqua blue. Her blue train also featured a hand-painted celestial map, which was inspired by the ceiling of Grand Central Station. She finished off the look with a copper tiara, matching metallic gloves, and crystal-encrusted dangler earrings that completed her homage to the Statue of Liberty.
Megan Thee Stallion
American rapper Megan Thee Stallion understood the gilded glamour assignment well as she shut down the red carpet in an intricately-designed, floor-length sequined gold Moschino look with sheer cutouts and a thigh-high slit. She added more drama to the ensemble with the metallic golden wing shoulders, a staple design feature of the gilded age.
Supermodel Kaia Gerber dazzled in a glimmering lacy silver metallic gown with midriff cutouts by Alexander McQueen and jewels by Kwiat. It was her hair that stole the show as she stayed true to the gilded glamour theme with her mane in a waterfall of ringlets that served up a larger-than-life impact.
The Empire State of Mind singer Alicia Keys wore the New York city skyline on her back and gave an ode to her hometown on the red carpet. Sparkling in a silver strapless Ralph Lauren number with a sweeping one-shoulder black cape that featured a jewelled design of the iconic city view, Alicia Keys finished off the ensemble with a pair of emerald and silver teardrop earrings and a long braid wrapped in jewelled geometric discs.
Gossip Girl reboot star Evan Mock was one to look out for at the glitzy event as he pulled all the fashion stops donning a look that recalled the classic shapes of traditional gilded era gowns and ruffled necklines. Screaming on theme, Mock wore a lemon yellow corset top over a frilly button-down shirt from Head of Situation, a Gen Z-founded business that prides itself on its unique intersectionality. Another thing that stood out was his black painted nails!
Indian businesswoman Natasha Poonawalla looked like a gold goddess as she opted for a custom Sabyasachi gold tulle saree with a long floor-sweeping trail and hand-forged metal bustier by Schiaparelli with exaggerated wires that went over her head. She interpreted the dress code with an Indian gaze that revelled in its multi-culturalism and authenticity.
Glittering in a gilded glamour look from the future, singer Janelle Monáe donned a halter-neck black bedazzled gown with a long train, courtesy of Ralph Lauren’s archives, and added a Monáe touch to it with a sparkling silver futuristic headpiece. She further capped off the look with silver Tiffany & Co jewelry.
Singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves stepped onto the 2022 Met Gala red carpet embodying the Gilded Glamour theme in a floor-length black number. Recreating old Hollywood glamour, Musgraves wore a Moschino gown with stunning gold and silver embellishments and a bow across the plunging neckline. Featuring a black feather fan, long gloves, diamonds and an elegant updo, she redefined glamour on the red carpet.
Spanish singer Rosalía arrived in a Givenchy white mermaid dress that featured a shredded ruffle train, mutton sleeves and beading that took the shape of her corset. She gave her signature street style touch to her reggaeton dress with dark shades and bare back with an inlaid spine going up to her shoulders.

I headed out for my first of two SouthSide gigs on Thursday to Holy Infancy School, my neighborhood school a block away from home. I’ve had a wonderful history with this school, their teachers and the kids. I was involved with a pilot project called PASELA, bringing artists like myself into preschools and day cares on the SouthSide ten years ago. It was a marvelous opportunity to hone my craft with really young kids on a consistent basis. I got to experiment with material and rhythm instruments, get to know the kids well, and see what worked in the educational projects. I learned a lot in the process – things I use all the time nowadays in my pre-school work.
Today, I set up out behind the school in the Greenway, a nice strip of land with a walkway and benches on what was, at one time, the railroad in town. Grass, sunshine and kids. This is also the school I taped and used the sound on my Playground CD. The kids all know me and my songs so it turns out to be a good ole love fest of my music. Cat Came Back, Baby Shark, I Like Peanut Butter, etc. The teachers also go way back to those PASELA days, so we are good friends and enjoy each other’s company (and they enjoy my humor, as well).
It has always been for free and its my way of connecting with my neighborhood and the kids.
Tonight is phase two of the SouthSide Tour, opening for Tom Paxton at the Musikfest Cafe, quite a different landscape for my music. It’s what makes my world go ’round.

A new report from China’s internet regulator warns that generative AI tools such as ChatGPT could pose a “serious challenge” to governance, regulation and the labor market on the continent.
The China Digital Development Report 2022 China Cyberspace Administration (CAC) is the latest indication of governments’ unease with the rapid development of generative AI tools, which enable the creation of human-like content such as text and images.
China, like the UKthe EU, the US and other jurisdictions, are jostling for developing regulations for the field of AI, which is considered likely to displace a large number of jobs and make it more difficult to detect fake content, among other effects.
The CAC report highlighted the threat of value degeneration that could be caused by the anarchic adoption of generative AI along with other cutting-edge technologies such as Web3 and quantum computing.
ChatGPT, developed by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, is not available in China, but a number of domestic tech firms, led by e-commerce firm Alibaba and search engine Baidu, have rolled out test versions of their chatGPT. own similar technology.
Microsoft China chief technology officer Wei Qing said at an AI-themed event in Beijing this week that many Chinese investments in generative AI are to be made by “fanaticism” and could end up being a waste of time and money.
Last month, China’s second-largest decision-making body, the Politburo, said at its quarterly meeting that China should “create an ecosystem for innovation, but at the same time consider risk prevention.”
Other jurisdictions express similar concerns, the EU developing far-reaching AI legislation and the The United States is heading in the same direction.
Earlier this month, US President Joe Biden met the CEOs of Google and Microsoft and two artificial intelligence companies at the White House as part of its efforts to ensure that artificial intelligence products are developed in a safe and secure manner.
Biden told company officials they need to mitigate current and potential risks AI poses to individuals, society and national security, including risks to human rights and jobs. , the administration said.
On April 11, China’s CAC released draft regulations for the provision of generative AI services in China, requiring providers to take measures to prevent discriminatory content, misinformation and content that harms life. privacy or intellectual property.
The new CAC report also warned of a potentially “turbulent” situation for supply chains due to a “battle over core technologies”, in reference to the The hostilities between the United States and China over advanced technologies such as computer chips.
Supply chain turbulence
He said the country continues to pursue self-sufficiency in semiconductors and electronic design automation software.
“The development of AI chips and [related] development frameworks accelerated,” the CAC wrote, saying it helped establish “baseline AI software and hardware support capabilities.”

17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. (Matthew 5:17–18, NKJV)
Jesus came to fulfill the Law and the prophets, not to invalidate them. He did exactly that as He fulfilled the righteous requirements of the Law (He never sinned against it). Thus, Scripture says Jesus Christ is “the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, ‘The man who does those things shall live by them’” (Romans 10:4-5). Jesus was the aim or outcome of the Law to believers. Jesus is the Messiah who fulfilled the Law and the prophets, becoming the perfect and adequate sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 5:8; 10:5-10). Therefore, Jesus was fulfilling the Law and the prophets as He was preaching “the gospel of the kingdom” (Matthew 4:23; 5:2; Luke 4:16-21). To conclude Jesus was preaching the Law to Jews to teach them how to be faithful Jews misses this fundamental point. Jesus came teaching His gospel, which contains the righteousness of faith (Romans 10:6; 1:16-17). We must hear Jesus because, as God’s Son, He fulfilled the Law and the prophets (Matthew 17:5; Hebrews 1:1-2).

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this arty and heartfelt film about street hustlers contains frequent references to and sometimes scenes of gay male prostitution, though genitals are never on screen (aside from a few brief shots of naked female breasts). The hustlers in the film use drugs (cocaine) and alcohol frequently, and they also steal and lie to each other. There is frequent cursing throughout ("f--k").
- Families can talk about what drives the different characters to lead lives of hustling. How are Mike and Scott's reasons similar and different? What do you think about their definitions of sexuality -- are the hustlers gay, straight, or something else?
- Talk about how the film portrays life on the street. Are there parts of the lifestyle that seem fun or romantic? How close to reality does the film portray life on the streets? What isn't shown?

Berkshire Roots Launches Fast-Acting Cold Brew Chocolate Bar The Specialty Chocolate Bar is made with…
Azuca CEO, Kim Rael, on what’s next for New Mexico’s medical marijuana market.
New Mexico’s medical marijuana program was signed into law in 2007. In the years since, the market has grown — and teetered on the verge of passing adult use legislation.
The effort to expand access to adult use in the Land of Enchantment appears promising. The movement has garnered the support of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who tweeted in February: “we can get in on the ground floor or we can try to play catch up.”
A recreational marijuana bill fell flat in the state legislature this year, leaving cannabis advocates to look toward the future.
In the meantime, the state’s medical market appears to be growing and improving.
The state generated $106 million in medical spending in 2018, a number that’s expected to rise to $141 million by 2024, according to data from Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics.
If adult use laws were to pass in New Mexico, the firms forecast that spending could reach $429 million by 2024.
In 2019, the state totaled $129 million in sales while expanding enrolment 19% for a total of more 67,000 patients.
Issues, Optimism Remain In New Mexico
New Mexico’s cannabis market continues to mature but has shortcomings that include product shortages and an underdeveloped infused product market, Kim Rael, president and CEO of culinary tech company Azuca, told Benzinga.
Rael, whose work includes a position on University of New Mexico’s Board of Regents, the state Board of Finance and the International Women’s Forum, highlighted positives for the market that come from government leadership.
“The good news is that our new governor and her appointees that oversee the medical cannabis program in New Mexico understand and enthusiastically support the growing industry.”
Business competition is at a high in the state, said Paz Romero, marketing director for Minerva Canna and its several dispensary locations across the state.
“Over time, competition has really humbled the market.”
While noting that a cannabis business can still profit, Romero said the competition from the dozens of dispensaries across the state makes earnings less lucrative than they once were.
The influx of dispensaries has created fears of a race to the bottom in the sector. In addition to shrinking earnings, additional operating and marketing costs associated with a growing brand cut into profits, said Romero.
Azuca’s Rael said that cannabis regulations that have shifted over time “are always a challenge for operators.”
Another issue raised by Rael is the state’s cap on plant supplies, which she said harm product availability and price.
It’s far from a new issue. The state passed emergency rules in 2019 to allow each grower to cultivate up to 2,500 plants. The rule was valid for only 180 days; by August 2019, cultivators were limited to just 1,750 mature plants.
New Mexico’s 2020 Outlook
A failure to pass adult use laws was just one issue to arise in the new year.
The start of 2020 saw environmental concerns raised, as some are worried that medical cultivators use an excessive amount of water.
A Court of Appeals decision offered potential relief by approving tax deductions on prescription cannabis. New Mexico are ending medical sales to nonresidents, agreeing to phase the program out by the middle of 2020.
The decision came just a week after the state had allowed nonresidents to sign up. State officials said the decision created possible room for trouble with federal agencies.
While New Mexico won’t allow out-of-state residents to sign up for a license anymore, New Mexico will begin allowing reciprocity starting July 1.

What is the strongest magnetic field ever made in a lab?
Scientists at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida have created what they believe to be the world’s strongest continuous magnetic field ever produced in a laboratory. Described in a letter to the journal Nature, the magnet reaches the strength of 45.5 teslas.
Where is the magnetic field highest?
Hence magnetic force of lines are more crowded at the poles compared to the centre of magnet and hence strength of magnetic field at north and south pole magnet is more compared to centre of magnet. And therefore magnetic force is maximum at both the poles of the magnet compared to the centre of magnet.
Are magnetic fields bad for humans?
Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health. The focus of international research is the investigation of possible links between cancer and electromagnetic fields, at power line and radiofrequencies.
What is the strongest electromagnetic field?
The strongest continuous magnetic fields on Earth have been produced by Bitter magnets. As of 31 March 2014 the strongest continuous field achieved by a room temperature magnet is 37.5 T produced by a Bitter electromagnet at the Radboud University High Field Magnet Laboratory in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
How strong is a 1 Tesla magnetic field?
The strength of a magnetic field is typically measured in either gauss or tesla units. One tesla equals 10,000 gauss. Magnometers, gaussmeters or pull-testers are all used to gauge the strength of a magnet.
How many Tesla is a neodymium magnet?
As previously mentioned, neodymium magnets can create magnetic fields with up to 1.4 teslas. In comparison, ceramic magnets generally produce magnetic fields with just 0.5 to 1 teslas. Not only are neodymium magnets stronger, magnetically, than ceramic magnets; they are harder as well.
Why magnetic field is high at poles?
The outer core of the planet is made up of molten metals, primarily iron, which is a conductor. Scientists believe that the charges created by the moving metallic material move around Earth’s equatorial region in a circular motion which generates the north and south magnetic poles at the surface, said Ingram.
Is there a maximum magnetic field?
There is no firmly-established fundamental limit on magnetic field strength, although exotic things start to happen at very high magnetic field strengths. Magnetic fields could get strong enough to create black holes.
Does magnetic field affect your brain?
Static magnetic fields have been shown to induce effects on the human brain. Different experiments seem to support the idea that moderate static magnetic field can exert some influence on the gating processes of the membrane channels.
How many Tesla is the Earth’s magnetic field?
The magnetic field strength at the Earth’s magnetic equator is 0.0000305 tesla, or 0.305 x 10-4 T. Maps of the surface magnetic fields of Earth show stronger fields near the poles where the magnetic field lines congregate, at roughly twice the strength of the field at the equator.
How many Teslas is an MRI?
Most MRI scanners operate at a strength of 1.5 Tesla.

Air conditioner was loud. No free coffee, no free breakfast. Rooms are dated.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the amenities. Our room was cleaned daily and the staff was quick and efficient. The restaurant on site, Pinchers was decent. The staff at the bar and Tiki hut were friendly and helpful. Overall, we would stay again!!) We left feeling the though there were some issues, we were sad to leave.
The Wi-Fi was choppy at best. They did not have directions to the airport. The parking was a bit troublesome as beach goers could park onsite as well. The beach chairs and umbrellas were quite expensive and were not prorated based on time used. The showers did not have doors so you needed a towel on the floor at all times as the water splashed.
Loved the location, the Tiki Bar, and the Beach.
Room had a very strong oder. It smelled like a room that was once used as a smoking room. It appears that Wyndham did a quick makeover of the old Holiday Inn and it shows.
Location and breakfast.
Lock on door broken. I expected my first impression from Wyndham to have more curb appeal.
Easy access to the beach. Older hotel but updated room decor was nice. Good value for the money.
Staff was efficient but not very courteous.
Staff was friendly, professional and courteous. My daughter wanted to be on the beach and this was perfect for that. Food at Pinchers was good. Service at the Tiki bar and outside restaurant was much better than the inside restaurant.
Partly the location as it took hours to go a few miles to get off the island area. Service inside Pinchers was a bit slow, but overall good.
Proximity to the beach Cleaning staff pleasant
Noisy air conditioning made it difficult to sleep - turning it off at night was not an option and a conversation while it was on was impossible. Food was poor Overpriced The water in the room was verging on dangerous it was so hot
The bartender john e..he was Great!
The hotel is an older property, but Wyndham has made some nice improvements. The room was freshly painted with new furniture and comfortable beds. The staff was very friendly and always accommodating. Really enjoyed the courtyard with our morning coffee!
The bathroom is very small, could probably use an updated shower and toilet. Could also use some hooks for clothes and/or suits to hang, Might be nice if housekeeping ran a damp mop across the ceramic floors after sweeping, because they were a little dirty
horrible customer service...way overpriced compared to other hotels..they miss out on doing the simplest things like replacing bottled water soap and shampoo..the restaurant is owned or leased out to another company..they definitely let you know this as well..the service in the restaurant was almost as good as some of the truck stops on the interstate
- location on the beach - Pinchers Tiki Bar
- Motel is a bit out-dated and overpriced - Room was very musty smelling upon arrival, so much so that we bought Fabreze spray and clip on fresheners which made it tolerable
It is a beautiful location! Food at Pinchers was terrific and the staff was great!
They advertise free wi-fi but must know that there is NO signal unless you leave your room.
Unlimited towels. Friendly front desk.
Wifi wasn't available consistently. Found cockroach.
Excellent staff. Everyone was friendly and seemed to really care that you were having a good time. Music everynight at the Tiki bar. The beach was beautiful and cabanas were always available, Pincher's had great breakfast and lunch options--The South Beach Grille across the street was excellent as well.I would recommend this hotel for 50+ adults
Friendly staff. Fun bar
Hotel not updated. Very expensive for an average room Not many amenities
Cozy, clean room, walking distance to lots of restaurants, awesome beach.
On and off wi fi inside room, worked well outside on the deck.
Staff was friendly liked shuffleboard even though the sticks were broke,
I was very disapointed in the smell in the room, the beds were to small, This is an old motel with a facelift that was way under what I expected from Wyndham. I travel all the time and would never pay more than $100. for a room this caliber It did not make my 35th anniversary special at all. I will not go back and was way overpriced for the type of a property. Motel 6 could leave the light on for me next time!! I stayed at the Marriott 2 miles from there several times and will be there next time for the same price or less during season. Whoever did the photos for your website needs a bonus to make them look that good. Please live up to your name!

Police appeal after woman raped in Camden
- Credit: Archant
Detectives have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with a rape in Camden.
A young woman in her 20’s was walking along Camden High Street at about 9:50pm on December 27 when she stopped for a cigarette outside the Camden Head pub, police said.
An unknown man approached her and the two spoke for a while and then went in the pub.
When the victim decided to leave to go home at 11.15pm, the man also left the pub and started to follow her.
Officers said she tried to get away from the man, and pushed him away several times, but he grabbed her and forced her into an alleyway where he assaulted and raped her.
The victim continually screamed for help and the man eventually fled the scene in the direction of Mornington Crescent Underground Station.
Witnesses who were alerted by the victim’s screams then called the police.

The victim was taken to Haven, a specialist unit for victims of rape and sexual assault, and was supported by specialist officers.
Detectives are now keen to trace the man in the CCTV.
He is described as white, aged in his mid 20s, about 5ft 7ins, of slim build, with short dark hair.
DC Jonny Rodgers, the investigating officer from the Met’s sexual offences, exploitation and child abuse command said: “This is a very busy area and there were many people around with it being the festive period. Do you remember seeing this man on the evening of 27 December?
“I would urge anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV to contact us as a matter of urgency, it is very important that we identify and speak to him.”
Anyone with information or any witnesses should call DC Rodgers on 07342 071 319 or the police on 101 or via Twitter @MetCC.
Information can also be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org

TAMPA, Fla. — A pathologist who observed the second autopsy of a 14-year-old boy who was punched and kicked by guards at a juvenile boot camp said Tuesday the boy may not have died of a blood disorder as a medical examiner had ruled.
Dr. Michael Baden, who observed the new autopsy on behalf of the teen’s family, said it was clear Martin Lee Anderson did not die from sickle cell trait, or from any other natural causes.
Anderson was sent to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office boot camp on Jan. 5 for a probation violation. A surveillance video showed guards kicking and punching him after he collapsed while exercising on his first day at the camp, and he died at a hospital early the next day.
The sheriff’s office has said the guards were trying to get Anderson to participate after he became uncooperative.
The second autopsy was ordered after the teen’s parents questioned the findings of Bay County’s medical examiner, and was conducted Monday by Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vernard Adams.
“My opinion is that he died because of what you see in the videotape,” said Baden, referring to the surveillance video.
Baden, who reviewed medical evidence in the slaying of Martin Luther King Jr. and worked for a congressional committee that reinvestigated the assassination of President Kennedy, said it will be several weeks before Adams can determine the exact cause of death because tissue samples must be analyzed and other evidence considered.
Pam Bondi, a spokeswoman for Hillsborough County State Attorney Mark Ober, confirmed Baden’s assertion. She would not elaborate, saying it will be months before the investigation is complete. Ober was appointed by Gov. Jeb Bush to investigate the case.
Anderson’s mother, Gina Jones, said she wants to see action now.
“Now the truth is out, and I want justice,” she said.
The medical examiner who made the initial finding of sickle cell, Dr. Charles Siebert, won’t comment until the investigation is complete, his office said Tuesday. A spokeswoman for the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, which operated the camp, also declined to comment.
No guards have been arrested or fired but the camp has been closed.
The U.S. Attorney’s office in Tallahassee and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division also have opened investigations.

As December has arrived and gift buying is in full swing, I am reminded that gifts are not only made of material. Walking through the mall, listening to the Christmas music, and watching the young ballet dancer gracefully float across center stage, I recognize a deep longing within myself to reconnect to meaning as I push aside the hustling yet robotic tasks of the holiday season.
Gifts of the heart given from the center of our beings shine through us like twinkling Christmas lights. Yet it is possible that some of these lights can burn out leaving us with a half-lit strand of joy. When we allow the resentments of events that we cannot control to seethe beneath the surface, our power is drained eventually resulting in burn out.
Join me in changing the empty bulbs to once again receive positive, supportive, and loving energy. Let us recharge and reignite our passion, the direct passage of energy from the heart of our meaning. There is redemptive power in recognizing our individual gift to the world. So let it shine radiantly, joyfully sharing it with others.
Rather than allow the distractions of the season to zap our energy, let it infuse us with hope as we look for opportunities to encourage those around us even those who may judge us, outrun us, or are simply more talented than us. In truly appreciating other’s gifts to this world, we act as a conduit supporting the transfer of loving intentions and positive energy.
When we focus on sharing our unique and creative gifts, all else seems to fall into place. We reconnect to the power source, as our bulbs are refreshed.
It exists in all of us, whether initially a flicker or a flame, creativity eventually asks for engagement. Art is born not only in painful moments of life’s unexpected and uncontrollable events, but also in the peaceful serene entrance of morning when an invitation is presented to begin a new day with the most playful of heart.
My wish to capture the sunrise this morning as a photograph was not granted as I was traveling on the highway. I could only gape at its beauty and imbed the picture in my memory. Difficult as it was to keep my attention on the road, mesmerized by the half crescent shape of the bright orange globe peeking out from the horizon, I turned my thoughts to the inspiration from nature once again.
Further down the road where the sun’s rays had not yet touched, a heavy ethereal mist was floating above the red river and evoked my fantastical imagination of a world where mystical delights swirl around each and every one of us playfully invoking a powerful urge and desire to create art from the inspiration of tiny water droplets suspended in air.
For me, the mist represents a lightness of heart that floats above the harsh realities of a mundane existence or the senseless casualties of loved ones. As with atmospheric changes, the heaviness of life can be transformed into featherlight peace. Once again my sense of purpose has been reestablished and confirmed.
As I was elevated from a mechanical state of tending to daily cares to one of sublime happiness, a magical gift was received again from above. A place created by a societal and collective imagination, but also quite possibly a place revealed to us in tiny glimpses of unimagined beauty upon daybreak in nature’s masterpieces.
Appreciation of these slivers of magnificence can fan and fuel the burning desire to bring forth our own creative beauty deepening our relationship with the creator of all.
Hope is my therapy. Where else can such a profound sense of acceptance be felt? It exists for all of us, gentle support that anchors our souls. A belief and expectation of something good.
Two blue jays visited today on a branch outside my window as if to remind me of a universal smile of goodness. A pureness that radiates from nature all around me, a perfected treasure gifted to me to view daily if I slow down enough to do so. If I delete one “o” what remains in the word is the strength I put my hope in. For it is in recognizing that power and glory that I accept my own goodness.
My initial inability to rebound and cope seamlessly with loss pours life into these words. They exist only because I still have hope. Hope in a future, not without pain but with a gift. The gift of believing each day, itself, is a gift.
We wake naively without any anticipation of who we could lose in a split second, an occurrence taking only .00001157 of the entire day, changing the course of life for thousands of others. That one second does not define the life of the lost, rather it defines the implication that even a second of each day matters.
That particular second changed everything for me and many others this past week. Except Hope did not change. Hope remained a constant. Life goes on because of Hope. Hope that all happens eventually for good. Even if the temptation is to sink low into an abyss of confusion, the universe reminds us that all is good with it and invites us to put our hope in the power harnessed within.
Strong arms of healing wrap around me gently, reminding me that my pain of loss needs hope now more than ever.
Self-protection. Do we allow it to get in the way of progress? Does fear of harm or ridicule stunt our growth. Do we view outside forces as something to hide from? Or do we learn to adapt?
I watch the water form a river in the leaf of a plant. My mind wanders to the self-protective ability of a succulent to divert the harmful power of torrential rain from washing it away.
How much of our environment and its harsh elements helped create who we are today? The adaptation of our natures cannot be ignored as we learn to deflect the ominous, hurtful, degenerative, toxic messages that may have been forced upon us.
When the vicious prey on us, we have our cloaking devices. We do not have to expose ourselves to harmful situations to become more powerful. Power resides in the protection of the gift we are given. There is no need to flaunt or battle.
Deflecting criticism protects our tender roots. These roots ground us in a hostile yet beautiful terrain. The vast wilderness becomes manageable as we adapt by using our strengths. Our beings are created for survival and hope.
What is your hope today? I look at a blank page in my newest planner and imagine accomplishing what I was born to do.
My inspiration comes from artwork created by the hands of an amazing artist, Marjolein Bastin. Reading her biographical page on her website, I find that she knew what she wanted to do from a very early age. Her love was nature and she collected treasures like pinecones, seeds, and flowers in her early childhood days.
As I look ahead to opportunities of this life, I realize I often go through a gathering stage. Much like an artist, I surround myself with inspiration as reminders of what I love. When I fill my treasure chest, I become in tune with my purpose.
Many of us wake each day with a fresh slate or a blank page. We may recall yesterday or look to tomorrow while we make our plans. Soon our page is filled.
What if on any given day, we were given only the time to accomplish what we were born to do? The beauty of life is, we are. We were born to be who we are today and dream of who we can be tomorrow. Our gift to the world is what we give and who we are.
My hope is this page is filled with inspiration for you to dream of possibilities today and every day.
So many opportunities exist to express the unique person you are. Fill your page with dreams. Do not view these opportunities from a viewpoint of scarcity. When you do what you love, your uniqueness shines for others to see.
There is no reason to hide your light. Sharing your gifts with others is what you were born to do.

Compared with medium and high-efficiency filters, the primary filter has a lower price and is installed in the air filtration system to protect the subsequent equipment. Some customers may ignore the importance of the primary filter. In fact, the primary filter and the high-precision high-efficiency filter are equally important or even more important. The primary filter mainly filters the larger suspended particles in the air, and also blocks the air filtration system from the outside world. If there is no primary effect filter or the primary effect filter is not maintained in time, the working efficiency of the entire air filtration system will be reduced. The following snyli Purification Editor introduces the factors that affect the efficiency of the primary filter.
1. Filter area:
It is obvious that the filtration area of the primary filter affects the filtration efficiency. As we all know, the larger the area of the primary filter, the more air it comes into contact with, and the greater the ventilation. It can be said that an air filter with a large filtration area has a large ventilation volume and a high filtration efficiency. However, this does not mean that the user must choose a primary filter with a large filtering area. Due to space and maintenance constraints, not all occasions are suitable for the use of primary filters with large filtration areas.
2. Air resistance:
Air resistance is an important factor affecting the primary filter. Because the filtration accuracy of the primary filter is not high, the resistance is usually low. If the resistance of the air filter increases, more dust will be sucked in and adhered to the primary filter, which will hinder the air entering the air filter system, resulting in a decrease in air volume and a decrease in the working efficiency of the air filter system.
3. Wind speed:
In contrast, the lower the wind speed, the higher the filtration efficiency of the primary filter. Because when the wind speed is relatively low, the diffusion effect of dust and fine suspended particles in the air is more obvious. At the same time, the low wind speed is beneficial to prolong the time for the airflow to pass through the primary filter, and the more ash deposits of the suspended solids hit the filter material, so as to achieve a better filtering effect.

Brutal and beautiful, Stray is the true story of a girl who runs away and finds herself.
Stray is a meta-memoir based on creator Tanya Marquardt’s experience as a sixteen-year-old runaway and BDSM model, and a New York transplant writing about this earlier stage of her life. A punk show with references to Patti Smith, Robert Mapplethorpe and David Wojnarowitz, the show begins on November 1, 1992, the day Tanya runs away from home, and each song careens you through the chaotic years that follow – life with Tanya’s father, a travelling vacuum cleaner salesman, her first attraction to a girl and witnessing her self-cutting, being underage in a BDSM bar, a writing teacher’s praise, which saved her from suicide, and, how art sustained her throughout, poetically describing the pleasure of writing, “a left hand scuffing across the page like a club foot, or a piece of bread smeared in delicious sauce.”
Co-created with Tim Carlson and director Mallory Catlett.
Stray features performer Tanya Marquardt, musician and Conspiracy artistic producer Tim Carlson, and musicians Jon Wood (guitar/bass) and Ed Goodine (drums).
Stray premiered as Duets for One at Club PuSh 2014. Theatre Conspiracy presented new scenes from Stray at Brooklyn Arts Exchange (BAX) in New York in Oct and Nov, 2014, part of CANADIANS ARE MEAN, curated by MELANIE JONES (2013/15 BAX Artist In Residence). Stray was presented at The Tank in New York, USA in July 2018 and SummerWorks in August 2018.
“One of the great joys in seeing Off Off Broadway theater is when you come across a work of dazzling ingenuity and raw self expression that hasn’t been edited and refined and dulled the way larger, pricier productions often are. Stray is one of those works, in which writer-performer Tanya Marquardt adapts her memoir of the same title into a performance piece by merging music and spoken word. … Bottom Line: This compelling combination of memoir and music creates a truly one-of-a-kind theatrical experience. – Adrienne Urbanski, Theatre is Easy
“The accomplished musicianship often recalls the purposefully jagged tones of The Ramones, The Clash and early Blondie. … In addition to performing on guitar, Mr. Carlson also composed the music to Marquardt’s lyrics for the credible original songs. “Fucking Love Letters,” “The Paddle Song” and “The Thesis Song” are some of the titles. … Stray is patchy, spirited, marked by creative aspirations and succeeds on its own terms.” – Daryl Reilly, TheaterScene
SummerWorks Festival at The Theatre Centre | Toronto, Canada – Aug 10 & 12, 2018
