CHClNO M.W. 213.66
Baclofen USP is a white to off-white, odorless or practically odorless crystalline powder. It is slightly soluble in water, very slightly soluble in methanol and insoluble in chloroform.
Each tablet, for oral administration, contains 10 mg or 20 mg baclofen. In addition, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: Colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose.
The precise mechanism of action of baclofen is not fully known. Baclofen is capable of inhibiting both monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes at the spinal level, possibly by hyperpolarization of afferent terminals, although actions at supraspinal sites may also occur and contribute to its clinical effect. Although baclofen is an analog of the putative inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), there is no conclusive evidence that actions on GABA systems are involved in the production of its clinical effects. In studies with animals baclofen has been shown to have general CNS depressant properties as indicated by the production of sedation with tolerance, somnolence, ataxia, and respiratory and cardiovascular depression. Baclofen is rapidly and extensively absorbed and eliminated. Absorption may be dose-dependent, being reduced with increasing doses. Baclofen is excreted primarily by the kidney in unchanged form and there is relatively large intersubject variation in absorption and/or elimination.
Baclofen is useful for the alleviation of signs and symptoms of spasticity resulting from multiple sclerosis, particularly for the relief of flexor spasms and concomitant pain, clonus, and muscular rigidity.
Patients should have reversible spasticity so that baclofen treatment will aid in restoring residual function. Baclofen may also be of some value in patients with spinal cord injuries and other spinal cord diseases.
Baclofen is not indicated in the treatment of skeletal muscle spasm resulting from rheumatic disorders. The efficacy of baclofen in stroke, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson's disease has not been established and, therefore, it is not recommended for these conditions.
Hypersensitivity to baclofen.
Because of the possibility of sedation, patients should be cautioned regarding the operation of automobiles or other dangerous machinery, and activities made hazardous by decreased alertness. Patients should also be cautioned that the central nervous system effects of baclofen may be additive to those of alcohol and other CNS depressants.
Baclofen should be used with caution where spasticity is utilized to sustain upright posture and balance in locomotion or whenever spasticity is utilized to obtain increased function. In patients with epilepsy, the clinical state and electroencephalogram should be monitored at regular intervals, since deterioration in seizure control and EEG have been reported occasionally in patients taking baclofen.
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. As a general rule, nursing should not be undertaken while a patient is on a drug since many drugs are excreted in human milk.
A dose-related increase in incidence of ovarian cysts and a less marked increase in enlarged and/or hemorrhagic adrenal glands was observed in female rats treated chronically with baclofen.
Ovarian cysts have been found by palpation in about 4% of the multiple sclerosis patients that were treated with baclofen for up to one year. In most cases these cysts disappeared spontaneously while patients continued to receive the drug. Ovarian cysts are estimated to occur spontaneously in approximately 1% to 5% of the normal female population.
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 12 years have not been established.
The most common is transient drowsiness (10 to 63%). In one controlled study of 175 patients, transient drowsiness was observed in 63% of those receiving baclofen compared to 36% of those in the placebo group. Other common adverse reactions are dizziness (5 to 15%), weakness (5 to 15%) and fatigue (2 to 4%).
Neuropsychiatric: Confusion (1 to 11%), headache (4 to 8%), insomnia (2 to 7%); and, rarely, euphoria, excitement, depression, hallucinations, paresthesia, muscle pain, tinnitus, slurred speech, coordination disorder, tremor, rigidity, dystonia, ataxia, blurred vision, nystagmus, strabismus, miosis, mydriasis, diplopia, dysarthria, epileptic seizure.
Cardiovascular: Hypotension (0 to 9%). Rare instances of dyspnea, palpitation, chest pain, syncope.
Gastrointestinal: Nausea (4 to 12%), constipation (2 to 6%); and rarely, dry mouth, anorexia, taste disorder, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and positive test for occult blood in stool.
Genitourinary: Urinary frequency (2 to 6%); and rarely, enuresis, urinary retention, dysuria, impotence, inability to ejaculate, nocturia, hematuria.
Other: Instances of rash, pruritus, ankle edema, excessive perspiration, weight gain, nasal congestion. Some of the CNS and genitourinary symptoms may be related to the underlying disease rather than to drug therapy. The following laboratory tests have been found to be abnormal in a few patients receiving baclofen: increased SGOT, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and elevation of blood sugar.
Vomiting, muscular hypotonia, drowsiness, accommodation disorders, coma, respiratory depression and seizures.
In the alert patient, empty the stomach promptly by induced emesis followed by lavage. In the obtunded patient, secure the airway with a cuffed endotracheal tube before beginning lavage (do not induce emesis). Maintain adequate respiratory exchange, do not use respiratory stimulants.
The determination of optimal dosage requires individual titration. Start therapy at a low dosage and increase gradually until optimum effect is achieved (usually between 40-80 mg daily).
The following dosage titration schedule is suggested:
5 mg t.i.d. for 3 days
10 mg t.i.d. for 3 days
15 mg t.i.d. for 3 days
20 mg t.i.d. for 3 days
Thereafter additional increases may be necessary but the total daily dose should not exceed a maximum of 80 mg daily (20 mg q.i.d.).
The lowest dose compatible with an optimal response is recommended. If benefits are not evident after a reasonable trial period, patients should be slowly withdrawn from the drug (see WARNINGS, Abrupt Drug Withdrawal ).

This month we chat to 25-year-old, Tsakane Sibisi, who is a candidate attorney. Tsakane holds a BA Law and LLB degree from the North West University and as a new entrant to the legal field, her hunger and eagerness is the motivation behind her willingness to realizing her full potential in this field.
Below is the interview between For Women in Law (FWIL) and (TS) Tsakane Sibisi.
FWIL:What inspired you to study law?
TS:I chose to study law because it is more than just a career, it is one of the most fundamental aspects of life. Pursuing law also meant that I will be adding a bit of a difference where I can by
FWIL:Please tell us what is the most challenging and exciting part about being a candidate attorney?
TS:Well, the most exciting part about being a CA is exploring and experiencing the different fields of law, in a space of two years you are being exposed to various fields in order to broaden your knowledge and experience of the law and as for challenges, is balancing work and books, because, you still need to write those boards! And that’s where time management comes to the test.
FWIL:As a woman in law, have you experienced gender bias? If yes, how have you dealt with it?
TS:Honestly, I haven’t experienced any, But I believe that the judiciary and legal sector is working hard in achieving equality and transformation.
FWIL: What does being an alpha female mean to you?
TS: An Alpha-Female is a woman who is confident enough to embrace her leadership qualities, she is assertive and stands for what she believes in.
FWIL: Would you consider yourself a feminist? If yes, what does feminism mean to you? If no, why not?
TS: Feminism is a term that is quite carelessly used nowadays, however I strongly believe in equal rights and opportunities for both men and women.
FWIL: The journey of most legal professionals is not always an easy one. What are some of the lessons you have learned along the way and how have they shaped your outlook on life?
TS: Very true! Its definitely not an easy journey and not a quick one either, you will constantly get to a point where you ask yourself, is it really what you want to do, and that’s completely normal. Some may come across friends and family who won’t resonate with you pursuing a legal profession because you don’t look or sound the part. I have learnt that Law, like any other career, is one to be pursued because you want to and are passionate about, not because you think you should or because someone thought it is a career that is well suited for you. Stay true to yourself.
FWIL:What is the best advice you would give to aspiring legal professionals?
TS:The best advice to give to an aspiring legal professional is to grab each and every opportunity that would equip you to become a good lawyer, Take part in activities such as Mock trials, Moot court, be part of the Law Student Council/Society, be involved. The legal profession is a competitive one; always aspire to be the extra out of the ordinary. Another thing source a mentor in the legal profession to guide, teach and share ideas with you, it makes the journey less stressful.
FWIL:What recent change/amendment in the law has caught your attention? (do you agree with the change? Why/why not)
TS:There’s actually two that I have been following up on, those are the National Minimum Wage Bill which, amongst others, stipulates that all employees must be paid, at least R20 an hour as well as the amendment to Section 25 of the Constitution to enable expropriation of land without compensation. With the former, I believe it enables employees to earn a dignified wage and probably increase work productivity to say the least and that is a short term effect with the introduction of the Bill, however we are in an economy
FWIL:What are some of your effective networking skills?
TS:Firstly, establish your target; your target would be meaningful contacts, well-established contacts, who would actually add value to you. Secondly, research more about your contacts; you might actually find things you share in common. Lastly, attend seminars, luncheons and events to grow your network.
FWIL:What does the term “role model” mean to you? Which phenomenal woman in law would you call your role model?
TS:A role model is someone who epitomises the kind of person you would want to be one day or someone who you simply look up to. My role model has to be Adv Rethabile Seema, she’s an Advocate, Lecturer, Doctoral student, Wife and mom, talk about a superwoman!
FWIL:What books have you read that have greatly influenced your life
TS: The Secret! This book has absolutely changed my life, this book found me when I was going through the most career- wise. After reading the book, I changed my entire perspective on life generally.
FWIL: What’s a quote that you live by? Your mantra.
TS: “Your thoughts become things” – from the book, The Secret, this means that when you constantly think about the things that you want, you are unconsciously summoning what you want with the mightiest power in the universe. That is the law of attraction.
FWIL: How do you remain autonomous while working in the legal field?
TS: To be autonomous I always stand my ground, I never compromise my values and morals.
FWIL: How can people reach out to you? (social media handles)
TS: Tsakane Sibisi on Facebook and @tsakane_s on instagram J

Boys night out... where to go in T.O?
A couple of the boys and I are going out next week for dinner/drinks and I get to choose the spot. Thinking of trying Bier Markt since I love imported beer (esp. Belgium beer).. but not sure about their food though. Already tried JKWB and enjoyed it, but want to try somewhere new. One friend is coming from Singapore, so he probably doesn't want to do Asian... any other suggestions?
Though lacking imported beer, the Mill St. Brewpub might be a good choice. Caffé Volo has great beer selection, but their food can be hit or miss.
Also, an oft-overlooked place is the Victory Café (Markham St.), which has become a recent favourite of mine. Amazing selection of Ontario microbrews, and knowledgeable staff (well, some of them).
If quality of food is important, you might consider The Rebel House, upscale pub menu billed as Canadian (so might be of interest to your out-of-country friend). If you do a search, you'll find lots of positive reviews and comments. They have a good selection of Ontario micro-brews but I'm not sure about imported beer and I can't get their bar menu to download.
1068 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M4W2L4, CA
I have always had a good time at Betty's which is on King, the north side, east of Sherbourne. Also their food is filling and tasty. I've had some nice gumbo there, always love the salmon burger, and the tuna fish sandwich. They have great regulars, very friendly atmosphere, and have 2 pool tables in the second floor, usually that whole area is uninhabited so it's great for being able to hear everyone, plus there's a jukebox. There's tons of beer on tap, a great selection by bottle and the best back patio in the city.

A CurtainUp Review
Devil and the Deep
This action-packed, family-friendly musical is now in a world premiere at Theater 3. The tale is set in the mid-18th Century Bristol, England and highlights young Jim Hawkins, played by Ethan Gabriel Riordan, who has a lifelong yearning for adventure on the high seas.
Jim works for his mother (Raissa Katona-Bennett) in the Admiral Benbow Inn. One evening, a bedraggled sailor, Billy Bones, wanders in, hoisting a chest and ready for some rum and quiet. He warns Jim not to open his chest and keep an eye out for a one-legged sailor named Long John Silver. After Billy Bones dies, opens the chest and finds some gold coins and a map leading to vast treasure buried by ol' Pirate Flint with an X to mark the spot where the treasure lies. So the story goes and so begins Jim Hawkins' adventure.
First, however, 12-year-old Jim needs his mother's blessing. Although she needs his help at the Inn, she also recognizes his fierce desire to take to the seas. Her touching "Be Who You Must Be," shows that she knows she must let him go. And so he boards the Hispaniola, a ship bound for Skull Island in the Caribbean and his life-changing adventures. He meets the villainous Long John Silver (Eric Coles), finds love, faces danger and betrayal and finally, instead of buried booty, realizes that the real treasure is home.
It is the music by Graham Russell (touring with Air Supply ) and Katie McGhie that boosts the relevance of the story from a classic children's must-read to a lively theatrical production. Stevenson's original story has been trimmed by librettist Melissa Bell to make room for expansive musical productions and songs that enliven the tale with fun and imagination. Old-style theatrical pirate tunes mixed in with hints of Les Miz.
Warning: Regarding the lyrics, land lubbers might occasionally have to refer to the included glossary of such sea-theme linguistics as "Tip us a stave" (meaning to start up a song or rhythm to back the sailors as they swab the decks). A special nod to Raissa Katona Bennett as the warm, hard-working widow Also notable in this able cast is Courtney Shaw as spunky Benita, marooned on the island three years ago, who sings, "Benita Knows." A crowd-pleaser is Cap'n' Flint, a parrot puppet (Skyer Volpe) who shadows Long John Silver.
Sarita Lou's vigorous choreography for bold buccaneers, complete with Alex Reed's well-crafted fight sequences by rum-drinking sailors keep the action going. Creative touches include the dolphin leaping around the theater. The set design is simple but efficient with dramatic lighting effects by Adrienne Carlile.
After its initial run June 11-27, the producers will seek a larger venue for a longer run. Good news for the young at heart. Judging by the few children on this evening, the humor and energy of Devil and the Deep will fit the bill for family summer entertainment.

You see everyone today trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, but not many people know what they should about nutrients. Understanding how to give your body a good balance of vitamins and minerals is essential to getting healthy.Read on for some great tips about premium vitamins and minerals you should take.
If at all possible, it is best to ingest minerals and vitamins in their natural form by enjoying a well-balanced diet. Aim for five to seven portions of fruits and vegetables each day, combined with a small amount of protein. If this is not possible for you, mineral supplements and vitamins may be for you.
Supplements can make up for anything you cannot do this.
Supplements that have fat in them need to be consumed with food, so take them with meals. Vitamins like A, E and K are ones that are best absorbed with food. These vitamins are great with foods that are higher in fat content.
Your bones rely on calcium to stay strong.You must also have a good amount of vitamin D to help your body absorb calcium. You can get vitamin D through food, food, as well as supplements or just spending time in the sun. Any one of these help your system.

Any vitamins will certainly add to your healthy diet to improve the way you feel and make those visits to the doctor few and far between for only a few dollars each month.
Often people feel mysterious aches without knowing why. Fish oils and Vitamin E often make muscles soften when they’re bound up.
Riboflavin can help increase red blood cells and improve the quality of your lips. Scaly skin and cracked lips can occur if you have a vitamin B2 deficiency, and your red blood cell count can also decrease. This important vitamin can reduce the risk of cancer, cataracts and anemia.
Red Blood Cells
Though we may try to eat well, sometimes our budget doesn’t allow us to. Consuming vitamins and minerals that are healthy will make you feel a lot better.
Iron is essential nutrient to build red blood cells. These red blood cells are most important; they carry oxygen through your body. Women will require a higher iron intake than men do. You may be iron in your diet if you feel exhausted or breathing difficulties.
Vitamin A is important; this antioxidant will boost your immune system, improve vision, lower your heart disease risk, and reduce the effects of aging. Taking too much of it, however, is toxic.

Today, it is very important to add a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement to your daily health routine. Most of the foods that are for sale today at your local market are processed types, lacking many of the important nutrients needed for healthy living. A good multivitamin supplement will get you what you need.
We often do our best to eat as healthy as we can but our budgets simply do not allow for it. Vitamins and minerals taken regularly can help give your body work the way it’s supposed to in order to function properly.
When you have gone through menopause, don’t take prenatal vitamins. Many women choose to take the vitamins for their hair or nails. Even though this is not considered dangerous, it is not recommended due to the products containing more iron than a normal dosage.
In the current difficult economic climate, it’s easy to ignore our health and instantly eat fast food devoid of important vitamins and minerals you need. Get some bottled vitamins to make sure you can help your body work on the nutrients to stay healthy.
If you’ve wondered if taking your children’s gummy supplements would help you, you’ll need to know that you may need to take more than one at a time. Adults typically require a higher dosage than kids. But read the label carefully, as it can be a problem to take too many of them at one time, too.
Manganese is a nutrient that should be taken regularly in the recommended dosages.Manganese will let bones form well while making sure wounds heal up the healing of wounds. It also used to speed up how the metabolic process. This can be found in whole grains, grains, and black and green teas. You can also shop local vitamin stores and online websites for manganese supplements at the drugstore or on the Internet.
Many fruits and vegetables have lots of healthy nutrients; however, fresh is much better than canned. Dietary supplements are the perfect complement to your healthy diet and lifestyle.
Before buying any vitamins and minerals, have a checkup to see if you are suffering from any deficiencies. If so, that is the best place to begin your supplement program.
Take your calcium carbonate with food. You can take calcium citrate without eating anything, but calcium carbonate could upset your stomach if not taken with food. If you don’t, the calcium will not be absorbed by the body.
Use caution if you take supplements. It is possible to overdose on them. This occurs if you are taking an abundance of supplements; it can have very bad consequences. The effects can vary depending on what vitamin or mineral has been over-dosed, but it is usually unpleasant and can become life threatening.
Prescribed and drug store medicines both can interact with supplements.Some of these interactions may even be life-threatening. Talk with a pharmacist when you purchase over-the-counter medications to verify there will be no adverse effects.
Calcium carbonate is ideal for the health of your bones and teeth. However, make sure to take them with your food. Though calcium citrate is fine on empty stomachs, calcium carbonate is taken with food. If taken on an empty stomach, the calcium will not be absorbed by the body.
Vitamin B12 does not absorbed by everyone; this is especially true for older people.You may eat a lot without absorbing enough.
Not everyone can absorb B12 efficiently, especially as you get older. Some people make consume a lot of it but their body just can’t absorb it well. You should get tested every year to make sure you have good B12 levels, and if they are low you may want to get a shot.
Eat only vegetables steamed or are raw. Cooking foods can actually deplete the levels of vitamins within them. Steaming is a way of the vitamins intact. Flash frozen vegetables are a good choice too, just be sure you do not overcook them.

Flash frozen veggies have decent vitamin content, but you don’t want to overcook them.
Try to eat your vegetables raw or steamed vegetables.Cooking takes the vitamins in food. Steaming is a good way to cook veggies without removing vitamins. You can also opt for flash frozen veggies, but do not cook them too long.
Ask your doctor to recommend a good supplement for you. You can also do your research to determine out which vitamins might work for you. Supplements aren’t regulated by the FDA, so you will have to do research on your own.
It may seem as though vitamins are harmless, but sometimes they are not. Don’t put your child in danger by your doctor.
Always read the label on your supplements. You will find that stomach discomfort can occur if some vitamins are ingested on an empty stomach, while other vitamins must be taken with just water. You also want to be certain that you do not take too much of any vitamin.
Flax seed oil and turmeric are nutritious supplements to look for to add some essential nutrients to your diet. They are anti-flammatories that help fight off sickness.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University Department of Orthopaedics is looking for 10 religious congregations (e.g., church, mosque, synagogue, temple, etc.) in McDowell, Mercer and Wyoming counties to participate in the second phase of a fall-prevention study using a physical activity program.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate how the fall-prevention program “Moving for Better Balance” is implemented in religious congregations in rural West Virginia and whether they can sustain the program after the funded study concludes. The physical activity program was specifically created to improve balance and reduce falls in older adults using slow, gentle and self-paced exercises. The program can improve muscle strength, flexibility, sleep, balance and quality of life.
The study will eventually enroll 240 men and women, aged 65 years and older, in the 16-week exercise class. Information will be collected from the participants at the beginning and end of the class and after a 16-week follow-up.
Dina L. Jones, P.T., Ph.D., associate professor in the WVU Department of Orthopaedics and WVU Division of Physical Therapy and affiliate faculty in the WVU Injury Control Research Center, will be conducting the study, “Translation of an Evidence-Based Fall-Prevention Program into Rural West Virginia Churches.” The study was recently funded as part of a five-year, $4.1 million grant that was awarded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the WVU Injury Control Research Center.
The project will include: modifying the exercise program specifically for use in religious environments in West Virginia, conducting a 16-week exercise class for 240 older adults in 20 congregations over two years, evaluating the program and sharing the results with religious and public health partners.
Religious congregations in McDowell, Mercer or Wyoming interested in participating can contact Jennifer Eicher, project coordinator, at 1-855-314-0742 (toll-free) or email@example.com, or Dr. Dina Jones at 304-293-1078 or firstname.lastname@example.org.

text: While we have seen an increasing number of warnings and alerts in recent years over the exploitation of the natural resources of a planet that cannot keep pace with humanity’s rates of consumption, the focus has often been on mineral resources; there has probably been less emphasis on resources that are, nonetheless, essential to life —namely, water and soils. In the context of thinking on climate change and food security, the question of the management of water resources and soils needs to be reconsidered and, as Guillaume Benoit shows here, put back at the centre of a genuinely systemic analysis. After recalling the essential elements of the water cycle and the global imbalances in the location of resources and distribution of needs, Guillaume Benoit warns of the coming intensification of water-related problems as demand for food grows and climate change makes its impact, not only in the most vulnerable regions (Africa, Asia, the Middle East etc.) but also in Europe. The question of the relationship between water, soil and agriculture thereby acquires major strategic significance, as does the issue of agroecological transition. The climate negotiations at Paris in late 2015 brought confirmation of this, emphasizing the need to stop focussing exclusively on alleviating the causes of climate-warming and to implement adaptation initiatives for reducing vulnerability to climate change. As Guillaume Benoit sees it, two trends are also revealing of ongoing developments to meet the challenges mentioned above: on the one hand, the revival of agronomy and a growing awareness of the importance of green water (which makes possible rain-fed agriculture) and of soils, and of the conservation and harvesting of water; on the other, the storage of water and the extension of irrigation. He argues that these developments should enable a new “water and soil culture” to be put in place, an agroecology acting on several levers without engendering conflict between the various possible solutions.

The actress adopted the darker look for her latest film The Holiday, which had its London premiere last night.
Diaz, 34, who wore an embroidered black Gucci dress for the Leicester Square event, said: "I like my hair colour and I'm going to keep it. It's going to stay a while."
In the film, Diaz does a house swap with Iris, played by Kate Winslet, exchanging LA for the English countryside at Christmas.
There she meets and falls in love with Graham, played by Jude Law.
Law, 33, dressed in a Christian Dior suit, dodged questions from the press, claiming to have a sore throat, perhaps as an excuse not to talk about Sienna Miller.
But Diaz, who in real life is happily hooked up with singer Justin Timberlake, 25, gushed about her costar: "He's very much like the character in the film. He's lovely, warm, charismatic and talented, all the things you hope he is."
The star said she was spending Christmas with her family although she would like an invitation to George Clooney's "beautiful" Lake Como villa.
Winslet, 31, who was wearing a Valentino layered skirt, said of Jack Black, who plays her love interest in the film: "He's gorgeous. I'm very much more drawn to men that have a wonderful ability to make you laugh."
But the actress said she would not join Diaz in going brunette: "I look terrible with dark hair... it just makes me depressed."
Winslet added that she wouldn't consider cosmetic surgery either: "It certainly isn't for me. I'd like to grow old with my face moving."Reuse content

The government is set to boost its bank borrowing significantly in November mainly due to the upcoming general elections, officials have said.
The net borrowing from the banking system is on track to reach Tk 10.42 billion by the end of this month after deducting Tk 21.58 billion in matured government securities from the gross borrowing, they said.
It may borrow up to Tk 32 billion as gross borrowing from the banking system this month by issuing treasury bills (T-bills) and bonds to finance its budget deficit, according to the auction calendar of the Bangladesh Bank (BB) released recently.
The government will have to pay Tk 21.58 billion out of Tk 32 billion against the maturity of its securities in November, the officials said.
On the other hand, the government injected Tk 29.50 billion into the market by repaying more than borrowing in the month of October, they added.
The government's overall net bank borrowing was Tk 61.82 billion as on November 08 last, according to the BB's confidential report.
"The government bank borrowing may increase further in December ahead of the elections," a senior official familiar with the government debt-management activities told the FE on Sunday.
The 11th national election is scheduled to be held on December 30.
The official also said the Ministry of Finance is now following 'near to zero' cash management strategy to minimise the government's debt servicing burden.
Talking to the FE, a senior Bangladesh Bank (BB) official said the government is now in a borrowing spree to meet extra expenses ahead of the next national polls.
As part of the move, the government has already almost used ways and means advances (WMAs) from the central bank to meet its budgetary expenses.
The government authorities are now empowered to borrow up to Tk 40 billion from the central bank under the advances to meet its day-to-day expenditures without issuing any securities.
Besides, the government is entitled to borrow maximum Tk 40 billion under overdraft (OD) drawing facility from the central bank on the same ground.
"But the government has not availed such a facility from the BB yet," the central banker added.
The official also said that the government had been forced to borrow more from the banking system as revenue collection during the first quarter (Q1) of the current fiscal year (FY) 2018-19 was lower.
The National Board of Revenue (NBR) had faced a Tk 110 billion shortfall against its target in the July-September period of the FY'19, prompting the government even to curtail allocations for the development projects.
The release of funds against public sector projects remained poor in the first two months of the fiscal year because tax collection has not increased as expected in the July-September period, Md Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan, chairman of the NBR, said recently.
The Ministry of Finance had set a bank-borrowing target of Tk 420.29 billion for the FY 19 to finance the budget deficit.
Under the proposed bank borrowing, the government will borrow Tk 239.65 billion issuing long-term bonds while the remaining Tk 180.64 billion through T-bills.
Currently, four T-bills are being transacted through auctions to adjust the government's borrowing from the banking system.
The T-bills have 14-day, 91-day, 182-day and 364-day maturity periods.
Also, five government bonds with tenures of two, five, 10, 15 and 20 years respectively are traded on the market.

BAE Systems produces sensors for Long Range Anti-Ship Missiles
The sensors will enable the missiles to seek and attack high-threat maritime targets
BAE Systems’ facilities in Nashua, NH and Wayne, N.J., have begun production of its sensor technology for the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile following a $40 million order from prime contractor Lockheed Martin.
The sensor enables the missile to seek and attack specific high-threat maritime targets within groups of ships, including those protected by sophisticated anti-aircraft systems. The missile’s range, survivability and lethality capabilities are designed to help warfighters more effectively conduct missions in limited visibility environments from beyond the reach of return fire ― meeting a pressing need for both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force.
The Long Range Anti-Ship Missile is capable of semi-autonomously detecting and identifying targeted enemy ships. The precision routing and guidance technology of the sensor ― which doesn’t rely exclusively on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, networking links or GPS navigation ― enables the missile to operate effectively in contested domains and all weather conditions, day or night.
“The production of our advanced sensor for LRASM is a testament to the strength of our technology and our ability to transition the capability from airframes to missiles,” said Joseph Mancini, LRASM program manager at BAE Systems. “Precision guidance and advanced electronics are areas where we have leading capabilities, and where we can provide warfighters with an advantage on the battlefield.”
BAE Systems’ advanced sensor technology incorporates the company’s software and hardware capabilities designed for the leading electronic warfare aircraft platforms. The sensor system also represents the company’s approach to bringing precision guidance to small platforms and builds on the company’s expertise in signal processing and target detection and location.
As part of BAE Systems’ close work with Lockheed Martin, the company provided the sensor technology that supported a recent successful demonstration of the anti-ship missile.

Another good campsite, with a ‘campers room’ equipped with kettle and phone charging points.
A cloudy day, windy in exposed areas and spitting with rain as we finished putting the tent up.
We got a little confused this morning, as we continued to see footpath signs indicating we were in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, although we thought we were in Cumbria. It transpires some of the National Park is in Cumbria!
The route this morning was a little underwhelming compared to previous days in the Pennines, we followed minor roads, crossed farmland and even walked through someone’s garden.
We were both pleased to reach Great Ormside and re-join ‘The Pennine Journey’ which took us through riverside woodland, filled with wild garlic and bluebells, to reach Appleby-In-Westmorland, our lunch stop.
The two cafes in the village were busy, the first one turned us away, saying there would be a half hour wait, but maybe they just smelt us walking through the door. The second one, equally busy allowed us in and even though there was a wait, watching and listening to the staff was entertaining and they served up a good meal and an enormous pot of tea.
After lunch we made a trip to the co-op, there are no other shops on route until Wednesday evening and we had been forewarned the pub at Dufton doesn’t serve food on a Monday.
Fully laden we picked up The Pennine Journey again. En route to Dufton we climb up through some wonderful woodland with bluebells that trump those we saw this morning, a much nicer afternoons walk.
We camped at Grandie Caravan Park which we used on JOGLE, Lynn remembers the date exactly 14 June 2016, Steve’s Birthday. Fortunately the pub was open that night and serving food.
One thought on “LEJOG Day 39 – Kirkby Stephen to Dufton 20.36 miles. Cumulative 701.22”
Stunning bluebell pictures!
Have a good evening and good luck for tomorrow.

A highly sensitive and specific method for quantitation of ketamine and two of its metabolites found in monkey, dog and human plasma was developed using a gas chromatography selected ion monitoring assay operated in both electron impact and chemical ionization modes. This technique yields excellent precision, reproducibility and accuracy. From 1 ng to 3 μg of ketamine or its metabolites in 1 ml of plasma can be detected. The technique of electron capture gas chromatography is compared. All three assays were found to be quite useful but the gas chromatography mass spectrometry techniques were more specific.

Biden’s renewed support for Israel
We should not ignore it
Joe Biden, the President of the United States, reiterated his support for Israel in a recent post on his Twitter account on the X network.
Last night, in his speech to Congress, he requested billions of dollars for Israel and Ukraine, and stated that abandoning America’s allies is not worth it.
He wrote that history has taught us that when terrorists do not pay the price for their actions, or when dictators do not pay the price for their crimes, chaos, death, and destruction increase.
Mr. Biden added that the costs and threats to America and the world are constantly increasing, and we should not turn a blind eye to them.

Like any functional space, there are certain things every dorm room should have. From storage, to tables, to lamps, these essential items will make sure your dorm life is as comfortable and fun as it should be. So before you head back to school, make sure you’ve got all the essentials covered with this dorm room checklist. Read on to see it!
Dorm Room Checklist: 15 Essential Items For Your College Room
Don’t Leave Home Without These Dorm Room Essentials
Before you can achieve the dorm room of your dreams, you need to fill your space with the essentials. After all, having a good foundation is the secret to all great designs. You won’t want to discover that you’re missing essential dorm room items like tables or chairs in the middle of the school year, right? It doesn’t matter if you’re on a budget or ready to splurge, some things like beddings, storage, and chairs are non-negotiable. I’ve put together a dorm room checklist that will get you ready to go back to school. Just keep scrolling!
1. Extra Beddings
Extra beddings are at the very top of my dorm room checklist, and they should be on top of yours too. Not only is this a practical need, but your bed is probably the biggest piece of furniture in your dorm room and it will stand out. So make sure you always have neat and stylish beddings on. Bring at least two to three sets so you’ll be ready for any emergency.
Curtains are another must-have on my dorm room checklist, because they’re so versatile! Use them as window shades, but also as dividers if you share a room, or as a makeshift changing room.
3. Organizers and Storage
Most dorm room closets won’t give you enough storage space, so bring some of your own! If you have a bigger room you can bring shelves. But for smaller spaces, plastic boxes should definitely be on your dorm room checklist.
4. A Side Table
Next up on my dorm room checklist: a side table! This has multiple uses as a bedside table, as a small dining nook, and even as added storage or decor space. You’ll never run out of uses for this in your dorm room, I promise.
Lamps are another non-negotiable item on your dorm room checklist. You can use it as a bedside reading lamp, or as a desk lamp. It’s also a great decor opportunity, so pick out a stylish one like this rose gold lamp to let your personality show.
6. Photo Frames
Like a lot of other items on my dorm room checklist, photo frames have so many uses! Make a frame wall as decor, keep a few in stock to display future memories, or use it as a stylish way to display important phone numbers and addresses.
7. A Clock
Keeping track of time is so important in college, so add a clock to your dorm room checklist. Pick out a stylish one like this mint green and wood clock. Green is also a relaxing color, so it’s the perfect addition to your study space!
8. A Laundry Basket
A cute laundry basket should be right on top of your dorm room checklist as well. This rose gold wire basket is functional and very trendy!
9. A Rug
A rug will be a cozy addition to your space, so don’t leave it out of your dorm room checklist! Your roommate will be glad you brought one.
10. A Bar Cart
Bar carts are a more recent addition to my dorm room checklist, but I don’t know why I didn’t think of them sooner. They’re affordable and so versatile! Use them as shelves beside your desk, as a makeshift bedside table, or as a mini pantry.
11. Throw Pillows
Don’t leave home without a few throw pillows. They’re an easy way to make your dorm room cozier, and you can show off your personality with cute or stylish throw pillow designs.
12. A Comfy Desk Chair
If there’s one thing on your dorm room checklist that you have to splurge on, it’s a comfy desk chair. You’ll be doing a lot of studying, and a good desk chair is essential to any study space.
13. A Storage Ottoman
Storage ottomans are a trendy way to add more storage to a small dorm room, and they can even double as coffee tables or bedside tables. This is a really stylish way to kill two birds with one stone.
14. Personalized Decor
Yes, decor is an essential part of your dorm room checklist. These are things that will make your space truly feel like a home, so go ahead and bring those wall decals, string lights, and anything other decor that can really personalize your dorm room.
Small dorm rooms can get stuffy, so bring a touch of nature into your space! Small indoor plants like succulents or even faux potted plants are a refreshing, relaxing addition to your dorm room checklist.

Disney XD to Turn ‘Big Hero 6’ Into an Animated Series
Fist bump! Blalalala!
Disney XD has announced plans to turn the hit 2014 animated feature Big Hero 6 into a TV series.
Disney Television Animation has begun production on the new animated series, which will premiere in 2017. Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley (Kim Possible) will executive produce.
The new Big Hero 6 series will pick up where the movie left off, following the adventures of 14-year-old tech genius Hiro, his puffy robot Baymax, and his pals Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Fred and Go Go. Together, they make up the “Big Hero 6” team.
Per Disney, “As the new prodigy at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, Hiro now faces daunting academic challenges and the social trials of being the little man on campus. Off campus, the stakes are raised for the high-tech heroes as they must protect their city from an array of scientifically enhanced villains.” Big Hero 6 is based on a Marvel title.
“Our colleagues at Walt Disney Animation Studios have created a brilliant new world, inspired by Marvel, with vivid, unique characters,” says Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to further develop these characters into a world class animated series — full of fun, action and the kind of endearing storytelling that only Mark, Bob — and Baymax — can deliver.”
Big Hero 6 was the highest-grossing animated feature of 2014, taking in more than $657 million at the global box office. It received the Oscar for best animated picture.

[This is the headline over a report published yesterday on the Libya Review website. It reads as follows:]
The trial of the Libyan intelligence operative suspected of making the bomb that blew up Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, has been delayed to 28 February, his family told local media.
The family of Abu Ajila Masoud told Libya Al-Ahrar that a session was scheduled to be held on 23 February, but was postponed until next week.
The family said that the court did not clarify the reason for the postponement, noting that the attorney assigned by the American judiciary “will follow the course of the next session, until the defence team’s fees are secured.” They expressed their hope to secure the first fee payment before the next hearing.
Masoud has pleaded not guilty before the Federal Court in Washington. 270 people were killed in one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in US history, according to Washington Post.
“At this time your honour we would enter a plea of not guilty,” said Whitney Minter, a US federal public defender, according to the Washington Post.
Masoud, 71, entered his plea in federal court in Washington. This follows his extradition in December by one of Libya’s rival factional governments.
US authorities said they would seek Masoud’s continued detention pending trial at a bond hearing on 23 February, if his defence sought to argue for his conditional release. He possibly faces two counts, including the destruction of an aircraft resulting in death, punishable upon conviction by up to life in prison.
The US Justice Department has alleged that Masoud confessed his crimes to a Libyan law enforcement official, in September 2012.
Earlier this month, Human Rights Watch (HRW) called on the United States and Libyan authorities to clarify the legal basis for the “abusive arrest” and subsequent extradition of Masoud.
“It appears that no Libyan court ordered or reviewed Masoud’s transfer to the US, and he had no chance to appeal, raising serious due process concerns,” said Hanan Salah, associate Middle East and North Africa director at HRW.
The Tripoli-based Prime Minister, Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba said his Government of National Unity (GNU) collaborated with the US on the extradition. However, judicial authorities have challenged the handover’s legality, and opened an investigation.

The following post is brought to you by Patcraft. Our partners are hand-picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.
When you enter a space—office, home, museum, school, wherever—you may not immediately take note of the flooring. But Patcraft is always thinking about it: from experimenting with oxidation of metals, exploring the juxtaposition of matte and gloss, and reinterpreting the texture and grains of wood, there’s no shortage of innovation and creativity underfoot, so you might be missing something if you don’t look down. They’ve released not one, but five new commercial flooring collections at this year’s NeoCon.
We were drawn in by the unique process that they used to create their new Artefact collection, and then became enthralled with the innovation and interesting techniques the Patcraft team used in both their design and printing processes for all five collections.
It all started with a stairwell. Day in and day out, the Patcraft team walks through a door and enters a stairwell at their office, not noticing the worn, rusted patterns on the walls, until one day, somebody did notice.
Inspired by those rust patterns, the team decided to experiment with the way liquids, rust and metal interacted on fabrics. They went to salvage yards, gathered old metals and fabrics, and lined up an array of liquids including water, vinegar, coffee, and even Earl Grey tea. Over a six-week period, they played with the discarded objects on cotton, silk and wool fabrics to see what happened when oxidation met textiles.
The result is a collection of four carpet tile products: Patina, Etched, Relic and React, collectively called Artifact, but each with its own texture and hues that come from the organic, earthy and time-worn experiments that will help bring spaces closer to their environments. It just goes to show you that sometimes all you need to do is look at your surroundings and you just might see something you never noticed before…
Perhaps aesthetically our favorite collection is Woodtone (above), a design that began with inspiration from wood growth rings and grain patterns. But instead of trying to recreate those organic designs, the team decided to get artistic and hand-draw patterns that resemble natural wood features. This gives it an organic with a graphic twist that has it standing out amongst a sea of imitation wood tile.
Available in long, wide planks of 12”x48” non-vinyl resilient tile made from compressed polyester fiber, the collection come in bold, saturated colors alongside neutrals so you can mix and match, add pops of color, or create a feature area. Using a digital printing method that minimizes repetition, they were able to achieve subtle changes in tone and a more natural, organic look.
The versatile Monochrome and Surface Tone uses a mix of gloss and matte finishes paired with a multi-tonal combination of colors and sizes that can come together to define spaces or create movement through scale and subtle color and finish variations.
Splitwood is a new take on a wood grain tile design, using metallic inlays of bronze, silver and gold to highlight the wood’s textural grooves and imperfections. It reminds me of the Japanese repair method of Kintsugi, which fills broken pottery cracks with gold-dusted lacquer, making the cracks become a beautiful, focal point rather than a blemish.
Constructed with up to 35% recycled post-consumer PET fiber, the Dichroic collection is an instagrammer’s dream: sustainable, ombre, facets that shift and play with optics—basically this collection is the millennial pink of the bunch. The collection is inspired by the subtle tonal changes in felted wool, and is available in a square and facet shape, which, when mixed, creates a more dynamic space.
All of these collections are beautiful and inspiring, but they’re also both durable and sustainable. We love how Patcraft’s focus on “transforming performance” is not only focused on how well their flooring holds up to the challenge of everyday use, but also about how people perform better when their spaces are exciting, comfortable, and welcoming.

New Polish Team in Bydgoszcz Gathers Interest
Saturday, January 17 2015 @ 11:42 pm ACDT
Contributed by: Wesley Hull
With previous attempts stumbling, Poland may soon see a new team (or two) if Gareth Smith can bring his project to fruition. Most recently the Polish Bisons were put together in Poznan, but after recent contact the only remaining Bison admits that the club is now inactive.
Gareth, however, has the love of the game and the drive to kickstart the game in a nation which he believes has the latent talent to take on the game and excel.
“I have lived in Bydgoszcz for over eight years now but still love footy! I am a massive Cats fan and have been since I was a kid. I kick the footy in the park almost every day with my kids in summer and I still feel the old competitive juices flowing, so I tried to find an Australian football team here in Poland.”
“I took over the Futbol Australijski w Polsce Facebook page to see if I could help. I am in the process of putting a Polish voice over to the AFL Explained video and the Skills video. I hope this will be done by the end of January.”
“I have recently contacted everyone who sent messages to the Facebook page to see if people are interested in having a kick, skills sessions and learning about the rules – we’ll see [what happens from that].”
“Of course, I am doing this in the little spare time I have. If I could find the sponsorship to make this a full time thing I would love it. I say that because I truly believe there are athletes in this country that can crack it in the big league in Australia. Poland recently won the World Volleyball championships, the have had great results in the world championships in European Handball, tennis is on the rise (Poland won the Hopman Cup last week and Agnieszka Radwanska will give the Aussie Open a crack this year) and Robert Lewandowski is one of the best strikers in the world. Also the basketball league around the country is very developed and there is now Marcin Gortat playing NBA for the Washington Wizards”
“The plan for now is to find a dozen blokes in Bydgoszcz and a dozen blokes in Poznan, where there was once an interest and a good effort by a young guy there to get things going. I did have some contact from an Aussie guy in the Tri-City area [the cities of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot to the north of Bydgoszcz on the Baltic Sea] and I have some hope he could do the same.”
In the short term Gareth has some work to do in getting local council approval for the use of suitable sports fields. He will also be in touch with the Minister of Sport in Warsaw to form the AFL Polska association. Then comes the task of running Auskick clinics to encourage youth to learn the game and possibly unearth the next David Wojcinski or James Podsiadly – two former Cats of Polish origin.
He is also in the market for footballs and jumpers, should clubs be in a position to donate.
Certainly, if Gareth’s plans can come to be then there is potential for a considerable growth of interest and teams in more than one Polish city. This could have positive ramifications for the game in that part of Europe, possibly becoming another link to existing clubs in Germany and the Czech Republic – or beyond. But for now Gareth’s challenge is simply getting started locally, so that he and his kids can find some more people to have a kick with in the parks of Bydgoszcz.
Anyone interested in assisting Gareth in his task can either contact us here at World Footy News, or go to the Polish football Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/FutbolAustra...lhc.recent


08 Feb Air Conditioning: We’ll Help You Keep Cool All Summer Long
Did you know that it is practical to have your air conditioning system checked up before the weather gets hot?
The reason for this is simple. Letting a technician check the status of your air conditioner while the weather is cooler ensures that your system will be in peak condition when summer starts. It means you’ll have cool air instead of getting a blast of warm air when you turn on your air conditioner.
Ballard experiences four seasons, so it is critical for a home’s heating and cooling system to function efficiently whenever it is needed. Weather conditions can be erratic and you cannot trust that summer will always be hot. There will be times when the weather turns blustery while other areas are humid. If your air conditioning system is fully maintained you can be sure that you’re comfortable inside your home, whatever summer conditions are prevailing outside.
Make it a hometown advantage
There’s a benefit in knowing a professional air conditioning contractor in your community. You see, each home’s layout is different and the heating and cooling needs vary. A professional contractor within your neighborhood is more familiar with the homeowners and the cooling requirements of each household. We at Ballard take the time to consider all the details. And you know you’ll get more than what you pay for because your satisfaction and trust is of great value to us.
Ballard Plumbing and Heating is an expert provider of air conditioning services. We have trained and licensed technicians in cooling and heating. We are always up-front in our work estimates and we need your express agreement before we start any work.
Why you need a properly maintained air conditioning system
An air conditioning system is a major appliance, which means it is a big investment. You do not want your investment to go to waste. You want to protect it so you can use it for a long time. And the way to protect your air conditioning system is to have it regularly maintained and tuned-up. Proper maintenance ensures that your cooling system is dependable and energy-efficient.
An air conditioner has several parts that need cleaning, replacement and regular maintenance, such as the fins, coils and filters. If not properly maintained, your energy consumption goes up while the efficient performance of your system goes down.
Here are the cooling system parts that need to be checked regularly.
To ensure the efficiency of your cooling system, it is essential to routinely clean or replace the filters. As the name implies, the function of the filters is to prevent dirt, pollen and other solid debris from circulating into your home. Thus, it becomes clogged with dirt and other airborne materials. When clogged, it obstructs the airflow, which significantly reduces the efficiency of your system. The dirt that is trapped on the filter may also reach the evaporator coil and reduce its capacity to absorb heat. You can lower your energy consumption by 5% to 15% by replacing the filter regularly. The location of the filters depends on the type of cooling system you have.
Moreover, there are filters that should be replaced while others are reusable. It’s recommended that filters be replaced every month or every two months in summer. If you are using your air conditioner constantly, you have dogs or cats and your location experiences dusty conditions, your system’s air filters should be cleaned or replaced more frequently.
The condenser coil and the evaporator coil of the air conditioner tend to collect dirt over time. When your air filter is clean, the evaporator coil does not get dirty easily. If neglected, the accumulated dirt will insulate the evaporator coil and reduce airflow, which causes the ability of the evaporator coil to absorb heat to be reduced as well. We at Ballard recommend an annual cleaning and inspection of the evaporator coil.
For cooling systems with outdoor condenser coils, dust and foliage can make them dirty. The immediate surroundings should be kept clean. Remove dry leaves, grass and trim back your plants. Ensure that airflow around the outdoor condenser is adequate.
3. Condensate Drains
The drain channels of your cooling unit can be clogged as well due to dirty condensate that may carry some small but solid debris. You can clean it yourself by passing a stiff wire through the drain channels. But if you do not know how, it is better to have a professional technician do it for you. When the drain channels are clogged, their capability to reduce humidity is lessened. If this occurs, the excess moisture can create moist spots and discolor your carpet or walls. Unnoticed, the moist spots can lead to growth of mildew.
4. Coil Fins
The coil fins on the condenser and evaporator coils are made of aluminum, which are soft and easy to bend. If this happens, the coil fins can block the airflow. You can buy a fin comb so you can clean the coil fins easily.
5. Window seals
If you have window type air conditioners, it is essential to inspect the seal around the unit and the window frame before summer starts. This ensures that no gaps or cracks appear on the seal that can cause cool air to escape from the room.
Extending the serviceable life of your cooling system depends on how you care for it. In winter when you need warmth, ensure that your air conditioner is stored properly. See to it that you put a sturdy cover on top the outdoor unit if you have a central air conditioner to protect it from debris and other hard and heavy items that may fall on it.
Talk with the professionals at Ballard for air conditioning maintenance and repair
Some people can do simple maintenance work for their air cooling system, such as keeping parts clean and replacing air filters. But if the unit requires more than basic maintenance, it is better to talk to a professional service provider. Give us a call and let’s discuss the problems with your system.
Typically, when our trained air conditioning technician visits you, he does the following:
- Check that the refrigerant is in the correct amount
- Check the unit for refrigerant leaks
- Check for leaks in the seal duct
- Capture the refrigerant removed from the system
- Check evaporator coil to measure airflow
- Check thermostat accuracy
- Inspect and clean electric terminals, tighten connections and a when needed, apply a non-conductive coating
- Confirm electrical control sequence for correctness
- Ensure that that cooling system and heating system do not run simultaneously
- Check belts for signs of wear and tear, ensure belts are tight and apply oil to the motors
At Ballard, we give you the quality of service you deserve. All our technicians receive appropriate training and certification that enables them to handle all types of air conditioning systems available today. We do a thorough inspection of air conditioning systems to recognize and spot all kinds of problems plaguing the cooling units. You want to have your system running efficiently to lower your energy bills and ensure that your unit will last a long time.
We want the same things. We understand that a properly maintained air conditioner will be efficient and functional when you need to use it. We want to help ensure that your unit will last longer and you’ll realize savings on your energy bills.
That is why we do not compromise. We only use the recommended and appropriate parts. We do not second-guess. We guarantee our work because we want to see that your unit is always at peak performance level.
Schedule a routine maintenance of your air conditioning system now. Ballard Plumbing & Heating is always ready to ensure that your home stays cool and comfortable when the weather turns warm.

Here’s a version that’s a work in progress. Sort of rubato and rough in parts. I’m using a Roland RD-2000 with the VSL D-274 Steinway digital piano. Just thought I’d share. Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing your version of “Dindi”. I really enjoyed it. Your voicings sound lush and full. The rhythmic feel is subtle, but it works well for this tune. I would encourage you to extend it a bit, adding some more improvised lines.
I’m glad you enjoyed this version. Thanks for taking the time to listen and for your suggestions and words of encouragement. I’ll definitely keep working on it
I would have responded sooner, but after posting the tune, I left for Málaga, Spain to spend a couple of weeks with family who live there. We just got back today.
Loved it Scott , very inspiring and mysterious
Thanks for sharing Scott. Just beautiful! I enjoyed the richness of your chords and the spaces in between kept me leaning in. The ending hint of notes were subtle. Well done!
I love how you worked on the dynamics for this piece @scott1 - you did set the mood right away. Very tasteful - beautifully played!
I love this song and you did a beautiful job with the chord voicings and melodic transitions between chords. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks ariel, maria3, Kristeta, and sarah-berry9 for your kind words. They’re much appreciated.
