Second Floor in Burlington is best known for college-oriented DJ dance parties, but on Sunday, April 8, the venue will host a handful of indie acts, local and otherwise.
Headlining the show are These United States, a Washington D.C.-based pop band that makes inventive and highly tuneful music. The group’s sound harkens back to the days before rock became straitjacketed by commercial concerns. Some of their tunes remind me of The Kinks, albeit with heavier psychedelic overtones. Anyway, they’re quite good. Have a listen at http://www.MySpace.com/TheseUnited.
Paleo is a one-man alt-folkie from Brooklyn, who, like a handful of other young troubadours, has taken it upon himself to compose and record a song a day. You’d think with that kind of output, some of the tunes would kind of, well, suck. That’s thankfully not the case here. I know — I’m as surprised as you are.
Paleo’s music, while proudly scruffy, is anything but throwaway. You could definitely put him in the “New Weird America” category — his stuff combines old-time and indie-folk with just a pinch of quasi-cryptic prose. It’s as if Bringing It All Back Home-era Bob Dylan hooked up with Joanna Newsom at some sketchy crash pad. You can listen to an entire year’s worth of recordings at http://www.paleo.ws.
Rounding out the bill are locals Pretty & Nice and Anna Pardenik. The former have been kicking ass and breaking hearts from town to town since the release of their pop-spackled post-punk debut, Pink & Blue. Pardenik, the queen of the coffeehouse scene, sings jazz-inflected torch songs perfect for red wine and sharing secrets.
In other words, it should be a great show. Start time is 8 p.m.; tickets are $5 for those old enough to buy booze, $8 for the young ’uns. For more info, visit http://www.TickTick.org.
KEEPING IT REAL . . . OLD
The Vermont Folklife Center, a Middlebury-based organization dedicated to preserving Green Mountain musical culture, recently received a grant from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences — the folks behind the Grammys.
The grant, which has been described as “major” by its issuant, will go towards VFC’s Vermont Traditional Music Preservation and Access Project, which will digitize and preserve archival collections of area music, as well as providie new ways for the general public to experience it.
Some of the stuff to be preserved includes the Northeast Fiddlers’ Collection, which features more than 23 years’ worth of music from the Traditional/ Northeast Regional Old-Time Fiddlers’ Contest held annually in Barre, as well as the Beaudoin Family Collection, the Steven E. Berry Collection and the Martha Pellerin Collection.
The project is set to run a two-year course, with work beginning this July. By the time of its completion, the material will be available at both the VFC’s physical location and online. For further info, visit http://www.VermontFolklifeCenter.org.
FRONT TO BACK
Local country-rock journeyman Brett Hughes recently did a little harmonizin’ with ex-Phish keys man Page McConnell at a live session in Philadelphia. The performance, which took place on World Café Live on March 30, was broadcast on Philly’s WXPN.
Hughes sent a curious email to friends and fans the day before the event. “That’s right, I said backing vocals, kids,” he wrote. “As in castrati-high harmonies . . . but no tambourine, no shaker or matching outfits. I might clap my hands now and again while doing a kung-fu kick, Elvis-style.” Note to self: Check YouTube to see if there are any bootleg videos of the set.
If you weren’t already aware, McConnell is gearing up for the release of a new self-titled solo album on April 17. No word yet whether Hughes will join the touring band full-time. I mean, it’s not like he doesn’t have plenty to do around here. Example: Hughes plays the next couple Mondays at the Lincoln Inn in Essex Junction. From there, who knows? Have Elvis cape, will travel, I guess.
Montpelier-based label Halogen Records recently filled me in on some goings-on that should help win more attention for at least a couple of area acts.
Dark hip-hop/indie-jam hybrid Manifest Nexto Me, who not long ago signed a distribution/development deal with Halogen, will soon have their music featured as part of the online marketing campaign for Nokia’s latest all-in-one handheld device, the N80. According to Halogen head Justin Hoy, a tune from each of MNM’s two albums will be featured from April 1 through July 31. That’s what they call “development” these days.
Halogen has also started working with singer-songwriter Aaron Flinn on the distribution and promotion of his latest CD, Giving Up the Ghost. Flinn is used to going it alone, publicity-wise, so he’s probably looking forward to the extra help.
Hoy has also been instrumental in Lyndon State College’s new Bachelor of Science in Music Business and Industry Degree. “LSC is indebted to Halogen Records for the inspiration and impetus for the MBI degree program,” says Assistant Professor of Fine and Performing Arts Elizabeth Norris. Learning, like, totally rocks.
Well, it was bound to happen: James Kochalka has a podcast. Please don’t make me explain what that is. Just know that it’s a newfangled way to get your gab on.
Here’s the official description from Kochalka’s, um, people: “Indy superstar James Kochalka and his band mates . . . answer your questions about Kochalka’s music and comics, delving especially deeply into the question, ‘Does Jason have a crush on James’ wife Amy?’ They also perform a whole bunch of new and original songs, including ‘Raindrops Keep Falling on the Dead,’ ‘Dragon Puncher,’ and a made-up-off-the-top-of-their-heads song about the Nintendo Wii . . .”
If that piques your interest — and how could it not, really? — head to http://www.talkaboutcomics.com/blog/?p=888 and have a listen.

There is something about being near water that tends to induce a sense of calm and well-being, and one marine biologist says living close to a lake, river, sea, or ocean actually promotes happiness. Biologist Dr. Wallace J. Nichols wrote a book called Blue Mind which details how living near a body of water can increase a person’s overall mental health. Nichols asserts that water actually “lowers stress and anxiety, increasing an overall sense of well-being and happiness, a lower heart and breathing rate, and safe, better workouts.
Of course, as RVers, we have known this for quite some time. There is something very calming about spending a few days near the sounds and sights of a beautiful lake, river, or ocean.
There are numerous RV parks and campgrounds that take advantage of this psychological benefit. In today’s post, I will discuss 10 of the best RV parks and campgrounds with lakes. These locations not only have quick access to some of the nation’s most beautiful lakes but also great amenities and water activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming.
Quail Creek State Park, Utah
Boasting some of the warmest waters in the state and a mild winter climate, Quail Creek lures campers, hikers, boaters, and anglers year-round. The maximum depth of Quail Creek can reach 120 feet so it is cold enough to sustain the stocked rainbow trout, bullhead catfish, and crappie. Largemouth bass and bluegill thrive in the warmer, upper layers of the reservoir.
Patagonia Lake State Park, Arizona
Tucked away in the rolling hills of southeastern Arizona, Patagonia Lake State Park is a hidden treasure. The park offers a campground, beach, picnic area with ramadas, tables and grills, a creek trail, boat ramps, and a marina. The campground overlooks the lake where anglers catch crappie, bass, bluegill, catfish, and trout. The park is popular for water skiing, fishing, camping, picnicking, and hiking. 105 developed campsites with a picnic table and fire ring/grill. Select sites also have a ramada. Sites offer 20/30-amp and 50-amp electric service. Campsite lengths vary but most can accommodate any size RV.
Elephant Butte Lake State Park, New Mexico
Enjoy camping, fishing, and boating at Elephant Butte Lake, New Mexico’s largest state park. The lake can accommodate watercraft of many styles and sizes including kayaks, jet skis, pontoons, sailboats, ski boats, cruisers, and houseboats. Besides sandy beaches, the park offers developed camping sites with electric and water hook-ups for RVs.
Sand Hollow State Park, Utah
With its warm, blue waters and red sandstone landscape, one of Utah’s newer state parks is also one of its most popular. Boat, fish, and dive at Sand Hollow Reservoir, explore and ride the dunes of Sand Mountain on an off-highway vehicle, RV or tent camp in a campground on the beach. Boating and fishing on its warm blue waters is the most popular activity in the warmer months but visitors can also go off-roading amidst wild red sandstone dunes in the park’s Sand Mountain area.
Wahweep RV Park and Campground, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Arizona
Centrally located at Wahweap Marina, the campsites are about one-quarter mile from the shore of Lake Powell. Wahweap offers plenty of fun with a wide variety of powerboats and water toys. You can also enjoy the restaurant, lounge, and gift shop at the Lake Powell Resort. This RV park/campground is a great place to enjoy the off-season solitude of Lake Powell. The campground offers 139 sites with 30 and 50 amp service, water, and sewer. Sites accommodate up to 45 feet. The season is an ideal time to visit nearby attractions including Rainbow Bridge, Antelope Canyon, Vermillion Cliffs, and Horseshoe Bend.
Lackawanna State Park, Pennsylvania
Offering gorgeous vistas of fall foliage, the 1,445-acre Lackawanna State Park is in northeastern Pennsylvania, ten miles north of Scranton. The centerpiece of the park, the 198-acre Lackawanna Lake, is surrounded by picnic areas and about 15 miles of multi-use trails winding through the forest. Boating, camping, fishing, mountain biking, and swimming are popular recreation activities. The campground is within walking distance of the lake and swimming pool and features forested sites with electric hook-ups and walk-in tent sites.
Roosevelt State Park, Mississippi
Conveniently located between Meridian and Jackson, Roosevelt State Park is known for gorgeous scenery thanks to its close proximity to Bienville National Forest. The park offers an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities in a picturesque setting. The gently sloping landscape is particularly striking in autumn when the forest is bright with fiery colors. The park offers 109 RV campsites, primitive tent sites, 15 vacation cabins, a motel, and a group camp facility. These facilities are located in wooded areas with views of Shadow Lake.
Utah Lake State Park, Utah
Utah Lake is unique in that it is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the West and yet it lies in an arid area that receives only about 15 inches of rainfall a year. Utah’s largest freshwater lake at roughly 148 square miles, Utah Lake provides a variety of recreation activities. With an average water temperature of 75 degrees, Utah Lake provides an excellent outlet for swimming, boating, paddleboarding, and fishing. The RV campground consists of 31 sites, complete with water and electric hookups.
Alamo Lake State Park, Arizona
If you love the desert and want some year-round lake views, check out the Alamo Lake State Park campground. With six loops, this large campground has both full hookups and dry camping sites. The park also has cabins for rent with views of the water. Lake Alamo is nicely remote. It’s located about two hours from Parker and the RV-centric town of Quartzsite.
Vogel State Park, Georgia
Vogel State Park, located at the base of Blood Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest, is one of Georgia’s most popular state parks. With miles of easy hiking paths, a 22-acre lake, a mountain-view beach, cottages, campsites, and primitive backpacking sites this much-loved park has something for everyone. Of particular interest during the fall is the drive from the south through Neel Gap.
A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye, looking into which, the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.
—Henry David Thoreau

First off, yes, the cover is very... Inside, the music is punk, but made with high guitar parts, not low, which reminds me a lot of Mika Miko. It slows down every now & then so you can just sit there & nod yr head up & down reeeeeel slow. Can't wait to see this band live!
Favorite track: Stalker retarded.

text: The pictures in Old Cardonald actually start outside the area at Paisley Road Toll, proceeding through Halfway before reaching Cardonald proper. Once there, some early interior views of Nazareth House are featured before the route continues via Hillington Park Circus, Hillington Gardens, the bowling green and tennis club and Traquair Road. There are some peaceful shots of an almost traffic-free Paisley Road in the 1920s, and some surprisingly interesting views of a sewage tunnel being constructed, plus good bus and tram pictures for transport fans. Crookston is included also, as are Mosspark Drive and Boulevard (every council tenant once dreamed of a four-apartment house on the Boulevard), plus Leverndale Hospital. There's a brief stop at the author's own street before the journey continues to Corkerhill, Nitshill and the Hurlet. Although there is a fair amount of Cardonald material in this book, it really covers a much wider area.

They've got a great understanding of eCommerce UX and they create not only clean, aesthetically pleasing designs but equally as important, frictionless experiences for our customers. They also provide accurate estimates and stay within scope & budget which helps us to plan more effectively.

I'd certainly recommend The Rectangles for anyone who is serious about having a UX friendly website.
Vijay Sitaram, Technical Director, Wipertech
We were connected with The Rectangles through a mutual friend and business owner. We knew how integral his website was in growing his brand, so we were looking for the same magic touch. The Rectangles were incredibly quick to respond, easy to work with, and asked the right questions to understand our objectives. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Lisa Huston, Elevation Energy Group
The Rectangles knocked our website rebrand out of the park. We had a few design challenges & unique design situations that their team had absolutely no trouble overcoming. They sought and listened to our commentary & feedback while still bringing multiple solutions to the table with their own feedback. They did all this even on top of a rigid set of design specifications we sent them. It is very rare to work with a team as professional, proactive, communicative & creative as this team was. We highly recommend them for any design related project - The Rectangles will be at the top of our list going forward.
Alan Marek, PartCatalog
The Rectangles did an excellent job creating the design for our WooCommerce landing page! We are impressed by their project attitude and engagement. They conducted a very detailed research and on that basis they prepared a beautiful creation we are very proud to show to our clients. And we love the contact form animation! We recommend The Rectangles if you seek for a professional and friendly UX design studio who cares about the end result as much as you do.
Magda Rogóż, Marketing Manager, Chop-Chop.org
I’m absolutely impressed with the working methodology of The Rectangles. We had several meaningful meetings during which the team was always well prepared, regularly delivering interesting ideas and valuable insights. It resulted in a final project that is consistent and well thought-out in terms of both technical aspects (such as their own grid) and psychology of selling. I would recommend their services to anyone who understands the importance of UX in web design.

Berwick-upon-Tweed RNLI help other emergency services in search
Both Berwick RNLI's inshore and all-weather lifeboats were launched today at 11.00am.
The UK Coastguard asked Berwick RNLI to assist in a search along with Northumbria Police and Ambulance service for a missing person.
After a long and extensive search, the body of a casualty was located and recovered to an awaiting ambulance.
Both lifeboats returned to station at 4.00pm and were made ready for service.
RNLI Helmsman John Campbell said: 'Many thanks to Berwick UK Coastguard for extracting our inshore lifeboat crew up the cliffs, due to deteriorating sea conditions. Our thoughts are with the casualties family.'
RNLI Media contacts
For more information please contact Hazel Bettison, RNLI Volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer, on: 07944 757578.
Key facts about the RNLI
The RNLI charity saves lives at sea. Its volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service around the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland coasts. The RNLI operates over 238 lifeboat stations in the UK and Ireland and, in a normal year, more than 240 lifeguard units on beaches around the UK and Channel Islands. The RNLI is independent of Coastguard and government and depends on voluntary donations and legacies to maintain its rescue service. Since the RNLI was founded in 1824, its lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved over 142,700 lives.


Last night I did what every good knitter does in a time of stress: I cast on a new project. Not just any new project, but a particularly challenging projectâ€”in this case a lace shawl from a Japanese knitting book.
I am twenty-eight rows in and, while I don’t have the number of stitches on my needles that I should (at least I think I don’t; I could be misreading the numbers on the diagram), I do have a number of stitchs that is a multiple of the pattern repeat I’m coming up on, so I’m hoping things will be ok. I have found an excellent web site with some good information on knitting from Japanese books (Knitting Elegance), and I also have a student coming to my office hours later today who’s a native speaker of Japanese (he has no idea what he’s in for!), so I am hopeful I will be able to continue apace.
I’ve gone one step further in complicating this processâ€”rather than using a lace or fingering weight yarn (I believe the pattern suggests a yarn with 200 meters per 40 grams) I am using some Fiesta Ballet in the Madrid colorway.
This yarn is a yummy, yummy blend of alpaca and tencel, so I am hoping for good results despite the odds.

Dubbed Mr Professional out Belmore way former Dragon now Bulldogs hooker Damien Cook could very well be the difference ahead of the elimination final clash between Canterbury-Bankstown and St George Illawarra on Saturday.
Having played two games for the Dragons back in 2013 – Cook has come a long way since balancing football duties at the Illawarra Cutters with beach sprints training.
On top of that Cook's coaching commitments with a junior Helensburgh team and pouring beers for a living on the side took up the majority of any free time he had away from the sport.
Since Michael Lichaa's untimely season-ending foot injury back in Round 23, Cook has come into his own for the Bulldogs, earning man-of-the-match honours over the past three weeks.
Dragons captain Ben Creagh has not been shocked by Cook's swift rise.
"To tell you the truth, I haven't been blown away because I've seen how he went previously playing for the Cutters, and also having played and trained alongside him in first grade for us, he was always of really high quality," Creagh told NRL.com.
"He's a very fit guy, very determined and a hard worker and we are definitely going to have our hands full with him and he is very professional in what he does and it hasn't surprised me to see him doing well, I just find it awesome he's playing great."
St George Illawarra fullback Josh Dugan arrived at the club in Cook's final year in Wollongong and said the former custodian made a quick impression on him.
"He's been killing it and he's a good little player. He was playing fullback for the Cutters when I first got here so it just goes to show his versatility and he's been in some great form and he'll be going into Saturday with a lot of confidence," Dugan told NRL.com.
"We have to watch out for him. They have a pretty big pack as well so if they get a roll on then he's going to be dangerous for them so we have to find a way to slow down their momentum."
Bulldogs five-eighth Josh Reynolds has also thrown his support behind his teammate Cook, as the two look to strike up a quick combination with both Lichaa and halfback Trent Hodkinson gone for the year.
"He is going so well you know, it was only a matter of time until he got his crack and he's such a really good player. To tell you the truth I didn't think he was that fast but he's going so good," Reynolds said.
"I'm really happy for him because he's such a genuine guy and he really appreciates playing first grade which is what you want to see. You wouldn't want it to happen to anyone and I'm glad he is playing so well."

Diclofenac (DCF) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain in joint-related diseases. It is not completely metabolized after consumption and cannot be easily removed using conventional wastewater treatment. DCF has been detected in water bodies and may pose chronic effects on the endocrines of living organisms even at low-level exposure. Heterogeneous photocatalysis provides an alternative and efficient method of degrading DCF. In this study, the photocatalytic remov...

Forming processes are generally characterized by a high degree of material utilization as well as short process times and, consequently, a decent economic efficiency. Furthermore, incremental forming enables the use of relatively low forming forces which results in a more compact design of the used machines. These conveniences are utilized in terms of roll forming with round tools to form gears and thread

Just hours leading up to his funeral, NHL star Jimmy Hayes’ widow took to Instagram to post a heart-wrenching video of him with their children before his death on August 23rd.
“A week ago today. Now, a favorite memory,” Jimmy Hayes’ wife Kristen wrote. “The music that just happens to be playing gives me chills.”
Kristen said that Jimmy Hayes’ son Beau has been watching video countless times with a smile saying, “again.” She goes on to write, “Today is going to be a tough one. Please give me strength 👼🏼 I love you the most. You should be here.”
Jimmy Hayes’ widow also shared pictures on Thursday of the couple and their children posing for family photos. The couple has two boys, 2-year-old Beau and 3-month-old Mac. “Little did I know [these family photos] would be our last photos of a family of four. I have no words. I’m heartbroken.”
Last Monday, Jimmy Hayes was found dead in his home, which is located in Ulster County, New York. He was 31-years-old. Officials have yet to announce the cause of the death. But the police department has stated it does not suspect any foul play or other suspicious circumstances.
Jimmy Hayes was a right-winger and played for Boston College. He played for the Chicago Blackhawks, Ford Panthers, Boston Bruins, and the New Jersey Devils during his time in the NHL. His younger brother, Kevin Hayes also plays for the NHL. He is currently with the Philadelphia Flyers. The funeral service will take place on Monday (August 30th) in Boston.
NHL Nation Reacts to the Sudden Death of Jimmy Hayes
Following the news that Jimmy Hayes passed away unexpectedly, fans and sports teams took to Twitter to share their condolences for the Hayes family.
The Chicago Blackhawks wrote the organization is heartbroken to learn of the passing of Jimmy Hayes. The team shared that the hockey player’s warm personality made an immediate impact in the locker room as well as the Blackhawk fans. “We are proud of the memories he made in Chicago, including making his NHL debut in 2011. Sending our thoughts and prayers to his family.”
The Toronto Maple Leafs also offered their condolences by tweeting, “Know for his character and kindness around the world, Jimmy Hayes will be dearly missed by all. Our thoughts are with the entire Hayes family during this difficult time.”
The Boston Bruins then wrote, “The Boston Bruins are heartbroken by the passing of Dorchester native and former Bruin Jimmy Hayes. Our thoughts are with his wife Kristen, his sons Beau and Mac, and the entire Hayes family during this very difficult time.”

AFTER Hong Yoon graduated from dental school and set up his Manhattan practice, he wanted to move his family out of the city and into suburbia. In his search for a community that would offer a touch of Korean culture, Dr. Yoon headed across the Hudson River to New Jersey and found what he was looking for in Fort Lee.
When Gary Repetti and his wife, Barbara, both lifelong Hoboken residents, began thinking about starting a family, they wanted to move to a community that had clean air, open spaces and a better-than-average school system. They left Hoboken, headed south on the Garden State Parkway and found what they were looking for in Toms River.
And when Brian, Bradley and Bonnie Burns, two brothers and a sister from Closter, left their parents' Bergen County home in search of apartments, and adventures, of their own, they found what they were looking for in Union City, the municipality that their parents left behind more than 35 years before. Shifting Population
Such scenes, and thousands like them, underlie the statistics that have been pouring out of government computers since the completion of the 1990 Census of Population and Housing. Experts say that those statistics depict a New Jersey boiling with change -- its suburbs rapidly expanding, its cities radically changing character, its soul becoming increasingly heterogenous and its people taking on a more ethnic hue.
"The state's center of gravity is changing," said Marilyn Marks Rubin, an associate professor of economics and public administration at the City University of New York. "We're seeing a population shift from the older, more industrial areas in the northeast to the newer, more suburban growth areas in the middle and southern parts of the state."
Ms. Rubin said that while such a shift was predicted by experts and officials, the 1990 census figures have ratified those predictions. Essex County, for example, lost 73,098 residents, or 8.6 percent of its total population, over the last 10 years. During that same time period Ocean County gained 87,165 residents, increasing its population by 25.6 percent. And Atlantic County, benefiting from increased employment in Atlantic City, has seen its population grow by more than 30,000 people.
And to the extent that counties like Passaic and Camden managed to show modest gains in population, Ms. Rubin said, those gains must be attributed in large part to massive migrations of Hispanic people into cities like Passaic, Paterson and Camden.
"Without the influx of the Hispanic population," Ms. Rubin said, "I believe you would have seen a continuing decline in all of the state's major urban areas."
According to the 1990 population counts, which are still subject to revision, 17 of the state's 21 counties showed gains in population while four -- Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Union -- showed losses. Over all, the state grew by 5 percent, or 365,177 residents, for a total of 7,730,188 people.
But of those new residents only 2,998 were non-Hispanic whites; the remaining 362,179 new arrivals were black, Hispanic, American Indian, Pacific Island, Indian, Arab, Haitian, Jamaican, Asian residents and more than a dozen other ethnic and racial minority groups.
"If there is anything about the census that surprised us, it is the increasing diversity of the population," said Dr. James W. Hughes, chairman of the graduate department of urban planning and policy at Rutgers-New Brunswick.
"During the 1980's we've had some suburbanization of blacks and Hispanics," Mr. Hughes said. "And the replacement populations have been more Hispanics and other new immigrants."

After all of his seemingly endless campaign stops and harsh rhetoric about the rich not paying "their fair share," it turns out that the president’s proposed tax hikes on “the rich” will only raise enough revenue to run the government for about eight days. But that doesn’t really matter, of course, because it’s all about “fairness.” In other words, if Washington lawmakers are serious about reducing the federal deficit -- as they claim to be -- the real solution is that they must stop borrowing and spending money we don’t have. We cannot carry on like this indefinitely:...
"So if it's not perfect then it is an epic failure. Typical leftist Utopianism." Twelve Step, with its 7% success rate, is utopianism.

MUKONO – Over the weekend, the comedy fraternity was engulfed by grief as one of their own Frank Mubiru better known by many as Chiko of the Madrat and Chiko comedy duo lost his mother.
A number of comedians who were led by the president of The Uganda Comedians Association (TUCA) president Hannington Bugingo were in Mityana to offer their support and condolences to their fellow comedian.
These included Alex Muhangi, Patrick Salvador, Uncle Mark, John Segawa, Richard Tuwangye, Maulana &Reign, MC Mariachi Madrat, radio personality Kasuku and many others showed up to send off the deceased.
Chiko being a big figure in the entertainment industry, many people and the comedians were left in dismay when among the musicians fraternity only Bebe Cool’s son Allan Hendrick attended the burial to represent his dad.
“It’s so sad that we have lost our mother and thank you all comedians for the solidarity .I also can’t wait to thank singer Bebe Cool who called me and told me that he is far but sent his son Allan to represent him,” Madrat said .
The comedians at the burial expressed their displeasure with musicians for not standing with them in their time of grief.
Madrat further lamented that it is very sad that no musician appeared and they thinks they are so big yet they (comedians) are living better lives compared to them.
The comedians also said that Ugandan musicians are heartless and very broke yet they always bail them out in their time of need.
“Today it is Chiko, tomorrow it is you. We are watching you closely and time will tell. For all I care we comedians run the entertainment industry compared to you guys,”Madrat said
Chiko is a regular reveler in most of the artists’ music concerts and social causes in the music industry. He has also put his face to some of the artists’ music videos.

Paydirt: The talented Mr. Haddow, Thor loses some thunder, 4 Times Square flurry … & more
The industry news you need to start your week, and what’s ahead
The prize went from palm oil plantations in Sierra Leone to desks in co-working spaces in New York. Otherwise, the game remained the same.
Renwick Haddow, the alleged mastermind of a vast international Ponzi scheme that bamboozled “sucker lists” of British retirees, has found his way to New York’s real estate market through a co-working startup called Bar Works. His involvement is hidden: Though he negotiated the company’s leases, signed the purchase document for its building in California and applied for its liquor licenses, he’s a ghost, appearing nowhere on Bar Works’ marketing materials. Instead, the company is billed as a startup founded by Jonathan Black and Zoe Miller. It offers investors long-term leases on individual desks in its spaces, promising them double-digit annual returns and guaranteeing buy-backs.
Here’s where things begin sounding like bad John le Carré fan fiction.
Zoe Miller (sometimes Chloe Miller in Bar Works’ press releases) appears to be Haddow’s Eastern European wife Zoia, as The Real Deal’s Konrad Putzier discovered. Black, the supposed CEO of the firm, has no digital footprint, and the photo he uses on LinkedIn is almost certainly not his. In Crowd Equity, the crowdfunding firm that Bar Works claims it is sponsored by and used as the basis of a $7.5 million valuation, has ties to Haddow. And YouTube is littered with surreal videos of British men with names such as “Richard Williams” talking up the company.
Any fast-growing branch of real estate, particularly one that gave birth to a multibillion-dollar firm such as WeWork, will attract its share of slippery characters. Questionable business models and questionable business practices are not uncommon, and landlords, tenants and investors need to vet before they bet. Still, when it comes to shadiness, Bar Works, which just expanded to Vegas, goes the full monty.
Thor loses thunder: Joe Sitt’s Thor Equities [TRDataCustom] is losing its top residential acquisition executives. Alan Klein and Jonathan Fishman, Stonehenge alum credited with being the driving forces behind Thor’s nearly $300 million residential buying spree over the past two years (that number would have been $1 billion-plus had Thor gone through with the Caiola portfolio purchase), are heading to Silverpeak. The latter firm says it has over $10 billion in real estate assets under management, and is lead by Mark Walsh and Brett Bossung. Walsh, of course, is the guy who lead Lehman Brothers’ real estate division.
Thor, which says it has investments totaling over $10 billion, also lost its longtime CFO Michael Schurer. A company rep, however, said he’d continue to be involved with Thor’s Mexican investments.
“He wanted to focus on his philanthropic endeavors,” the spokesperson said. Let’s see how long Schurer’s hiatus lasts.
Obama takes a hard look at EB-5: In what is certain to be a purely symbolic move, the Obama administration proposed more than doubling the minimum EB-5 investment in high-unemployment areas to $1.35 million. It also proposed eliminating states’ ability to designate census tracts, which developers have used to their advantage by positioning their projects as being in high-unemployment areas. The proposal would see the federal government take on the task of designating the tracts directly.
But with three days left before Donald Trump takes over, there’s no chance the proposal goes anywhere. Jared Kushner, the president-elect’s son-in-law, has raised EB-5 funds for a project in Jersey City, and advocates for the visa program expect it to thrive under Trump.
“It has to go through him [Trump],” Rosenberg & Estis’ Eric Orenstein said. “And I don’t see him approving it.”
Good times at 4 Times Square: A former professor of mine who worked at the New Yorker used to invite each of his students, once a semester, for lunch at the office. His instructions were as follows:
“When you do come for lunch, the address is 4 Times Square. On the elevator, study the directory of Conde Nast magazine offices overhead and try to guess, by appearance and demeanor, which floors your fellow-passengers will be getting off on.”
The tower’s identity was completely intertwined with Conde Nast, and the 800,000-square-foot-plus void the publisher left when it decamped to 1 World Trade Center seemed a very tough one to fill. But Durst, somehow, is pulling it off.
TRD’s Rich Bockmann reported Durst signed fintech firm SS&C to a 140,000-square-foot lease, for space asking in the low $80s per foot. Durst followed that up with a 95,000-square-foot lease with tax firm RSM. Those deals were preceded by another big one in August with financial firm ICAP. None of the tenants have quite the cachet of an Anna Wintour or David Remnick strolling the halls, but they’ll do.

This document talks about reverse proxy configuration.
Reverse Proxy configuration for connector application
This step will help us configure reverse i.e the port where the connector would run will be redirected to a URL which will be required in later part of the documentation
This is done as a best practice to use the DNS url for configuration instead of mentioning the port
If your proxy settings server is on-prem /same server then you can directly login to the server where IDHub is deployed. If not, then you will have to login to the Physical VM-server from which the virtual machines are created. Please do note that, in most cases the Reverse Proxy server is not the same as the app server.
In our case we are going with the second option and we are using SSH to login to the Reverse Proxy proxy server.
Now, Navigate to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled (ubuntu default). For other distros, you might have to navigate to /etc/httpd/sites-enabled
Next open the required server file from the list of hosts <tomato.iamsath.conf>
Below is an example of the settings which needs to be present in the .conf file for the server


Report: Chelsea in direct talks with agent of teenage star who has been likened to Mbappe
Chelsea have reportedly made contact with the representative of Rennes wonder kid, Eduardo Camavinga.
According to Le Parisien, the Blues are in conversation with Johnathan Barnett, super-agent to several of the game’s stars.
An illustrious list that includes Camavinga, who is one of the hottest properties in world football.
The 18-year-old has entered into the final 12-months of his Rennes contract, with no indication he will agree to an extension.
Manchester United are said to be the most interested in signing the teenage talent, but several other European heavyweights aren’t too far behind in the chase.
Along with Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid have been tipped to battle for his sort-after signature.
Camavinga is recognised as the future of French football, which is saying something considering the players they have on show.
Rennes president, Nicolas Holveck, sung the praises of the midfielder during an interview transcribed by Footmercato last year.
“He’s (Camavinga) still very young, he’s a very thoughtful boy, incredibly mature.
“He reminds me of a youngster that I had the chance to know in Monaco (Kylian Mbappe), he knows what is important for his progress.”
Last season, Camavinga made 39 appearances across all competitions, including the Champions League home loss against Chelsea.
Had he been a few years older, or had a few more campaigns under his belt, he probably would’ve been selected for France’s European Championship squad.
But the young gem still has plenty of opportunities waiting for him just around the corner.
His next destination could well alter the course of his career.
Signing for the Blues would put him in a dressing room alongside a man he’s been compared to in the past, N’Golo Kante.
Could Camavinga be heir to Kante’s thrown? There’s no reason he can’t be.

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD has been off to a lackluster start. Though not a bad show, it didn't capture the attention of many of the viewers that first tuned into the spinoff from the Marvel movie-verse. Some of this is to be expected, but the cookie cutter formula and lack of character development for the first half dozen episodes was disheartening for many more.
Executive Producer Jeffrey Bell spoke with CBR this week and has a message for fans: the show is just getting started and it's all been part of the build.
What I think people will see in episode 10 is how things we laid out in episode 1 and episode 3 and episode 4 and episode 5 and other episodes actually all start to come together, and you see pieces come together in 10.
He recognizes the inconsistent nature of creators looking at the fanbase as a whole. With so many conflicting desires when you look at what one fan wants versus another, Bell says it is their job to lead the fans, not follow. Believing that when the pieces begin to fall into place, fans will be happy at how the story has built and fit together.
This week's episode will be the mid-season finale. With, episode 10, 'The Bridge,' we'll see the return of Mike Peterson (J. August Richards) from the pilot.
J. did such a good job on our pilot, and fan reaction was terrific. We always had an idea of different ways to bring him back... when we go up against people with punchy jumpy powers like some of the Centipede characters have, it made sense for us to enlist someone who might have a similar skillset...
He also addressed the fan desire to see more characters from the Marvel universe used in the show. Bell expects fans will be pleased not only with familiar faces they may find for the show, but also with the writing style having a familiar "Marvel feel" to it.
I think fans will experience the episodes as being a bit more "Marvel." I mean that on several levels. I think we're always looking to find characters either from the Marvel movie universe or the comic universe that fans would recognize.
Want to know more? Check out the full interview at CBR.
"Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" episode "The Bridge" airs 8 p.m. Tuesday, December 10, on ABC.

We are having a summer wedding at the Manor Barn in Buriton, Hampshire and we are looking for a live swing/jazz band to play approx. 2x 45 mins sets as the venue does not allow live music after 9.30pm.
Absolutely superb group. From ease of booking to set up on the day it was so smooth and hassle free. Our customers who had booked tickets to come truly enjoyed the entertainment. We have received numerous comments both online and in person. The ladies are extremely talented and very professional. We will most certainly be rebooking them for future events.
Awesome. Thanks so much for bringing it:)
Just wanted to say how memorable it was seeing and hearing you play in Wimborne last weekend. Being invited up on stage to dance was an experience that I will never forget! I am a huge fan of Roxy Music and saw another tribute band a couple of years ago. I thought they were very good , but Roxy Musique are in a league of their own. Sublime! Here's hoping to see you at another gig in the future.

I wasn't going to write about this. It's a movie I know too well. Matthew Hale, centuries ago, said that "rape ... is an accusation easily to be made and hard to be proved, and harder to be defended by the party accused, tho never so innocent."
Only the French could have an etiquette scandal.
Let Americans get in a lather over peccadillos of state. The French are lamenting the state of propriety. No one in the land of Napoleon is following the code. And it is putting the citoyens of this once luminous empire in a dark mood. They are less concerned about their president's slamming-door farcical adventures in amour than they are about the blow to their amour-propre. They fret that their image is more Feydeau than Rousseau.
Some of the smartest thinkers on problems at home and around the world are university professors, but most of them just don't matter in today's great debates.
The most stinging dismissal of a point is to say: "That's academic." In other words, to be a scholar is, often, to be irrelevant.
On the feast day of St. Valentine in the Anglican Church and various other religious jurisdictions around the globe, love may have been in the air, but not here in the Nation's capital.
About a foot of snow covered the monuments, short-circuiting the timely delivery of Lotharios' floral gifts to the objects of their affections. Through the previous night, rumbling District of Columbia plows labored to clear the streets to florists' shops and recipients' doorbells.
Last week's big business news was the announcement that Comcast, a gigantic provider of cable TV and high-speed Internet service, has reached a deal to acquire Time Warner, which is merely huge. If regulators approve the deal, Comcast will be an overwhelmingly dominant player in the business, with around 30 million subscribers.
So let me ask two questions about the proposed deal. First, why would we even think about letting it go through? Second, when and why did we stop worrying about monopoly power?
There is a magnificent public policy that achieves many of the goals conservative politicians regularly extol. These include promoting work over dependency, reducing the cost of social welfare programs, fostering economic growth and strengthening families.
Back in 1987 my Princeton colleague Alan Blinder published a very good book titled "Hard Heads, Soft Hearts." It was, as you might guess, a call for tough-minded but compassionate economic policy. Unfortunately, what we actually got - especially, although not only, from Republicans - was the opposite. And it's difficult to find a better example of the hardhearted, softheaded nature of today's GOP than what happened last week, as Senate Republicans once again used the filibuster to block aid to the long-term unemployed.
For Vladimir Putin, the winter Olympics is not about sports or international camaraderie. It’s a carefully orchestrated propaganda opportunity to try to showcase the nation’s athletes and show the world a Russia that, even with its great culture and arts, may exist only in the imaginations of those who believe in restoring the country’s previous grandeur.
The Republican response to the State of the Union address was delivered by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash. - and it was remarkable for its lack of content. A bit of uplifting personal biography, a check list of good things her party wants to happen with no hint of how it plans to make them happen.

This easy to make and nutritious ‘rice less idli’ is a modification over a traditionally called ‘avira kudumu’.
Take 3 cups of urad dal (black gram), wash 2-3 times and then soak in water for overnight.
Grind soaked urad dal to a slightly coarse batter along with some cut ginger and green chillis. Add salt according to taste. Use buttermilk or curd for grinding instead of water. Leave ground dal for a few hours to ferment and becomes somewhat spongy.
Add ½ tsp of Asafoetida, ½ tsp cracked pepper and 3/4 tbsp of lemon juice to the ground dal.
Apply oil to the idli making plate and pour ground dal in each idli slot.
In a separate container, boil 2 Tbsp of cut pieces of cashew nuts, almonds and peanuts with some salt for a few minutes or till tender. Add already boiled cashewnuts and peanuts as toppings on each idli. Note: This step is optional.
Steam cook for 12-15 minutes using idli cooker. Alternatively, a microwave idli cooker can be used for 8-10 minutes at high.
Serve idlis with any curry powder or chutney of your taste. If preferred, some ghee can be added on top of idlis before serving.

STABBED footballer Ronnie Wallwork may never play professionally again.
The 29-year-old's agent Neil Sillett fears the ex- Manchester United reserve will not recover fully from the seven wounds to his head, stomach and back he suffered in a bar attack last Thursday.
Sillett said: "Ronnie is still in a bad way and will be in hospital a while.
"We hope his injuries aren't life threatening but it is impossible to say."
Police meanwhile continue to hunt the man who knifed the West Brom player - who was on loan to Barnsley - in Manchester's Sugar Lounge.
Officers say they know who they are looking for.
It is believed a man living near the Wallwork family in the city's Newton Heath carried out the attack in jealousy.

About the Federation of International Robot-Sport Association
Robot soccer can be portrayed as a competition of advanced robot technology within a confined space. It offers a challenging arena to the young generation and researchers working with autonomous mobile robotic systems. It is hoped that FIRA’s flagship event, called the FIRA Robot World Cup (or the FIRA Cup in short), which started in 1996, together with many other FIRA events, will help generate interests in robotics in the young minds.
Through these events, FIRA hopes to help them better understand and appreciate, with interests, the scientific concepts and technological developments involved. FIRA believes that some of these interests will fuel scientific and engineering skills that ultimately develop into research outcomes to serve mankind in a variety of ways.
Ever since its establishment, FIRA has had venues for its annual FIRA Cup in Australia, Brazil, China, France and Korea. Making progress over successive years since 1996, FIRA Cup has now attained world recognition as a robot festival.
FIRA SimulCup 2021
FIRA SimulCup 2021 was held as a hybrid event with some real robot competitions and some virtual ones. The main competition was held in St. Luis, Brasil, and hence FIRA SimulCup 2021 was a Brazilian-themed event.
However, since many places in the world are under various COVID-related restrictions, it is still impossible for many of our participants to travel internationally. Therefore, FIRA 2021 is organized as a SimulCup, that is, real robot events will be organized and judged simultaneously in several local events happening world-wide.
We will also hold several 1hr workshops where students can build and program a variety of robot systems from home.

If you have been using Google Play Music for the past few years and find yourself in the need of transition to other platforms or just curious about what is YouTube music, you are at the right place. Without further ado, let’s move on to what it has to offer.
How can we access YouTube Music?
YouTube Music is a music streaming service from YouTube. It is owned by Google and launched in 2018 with an emphasis on live and video performance. This service is available on both android and iOS and also in the web or desktop. Some term it as the mashup of Google Play Music and YouTube app. It has a huge catalog of music and available in 29 countries.
You have to just start by chosing 5 picks from your favorite artist.
Is YouTube Music Free?
You can download and use YouTube Music for free. The application is subscription-based. You don’t have to sign in to play the music. However, you have to bear ads between tracks and won’t be available to listen offline that encourages users to go premium. The premium price is $9.99 monthly. I would say that YouTube Premium Music is worth paying for.
How YouTube Music works?
YouTube Music has good discovery features. They have major 3 sections in the navigation bar. Explore options give you new releases and music videos. Home generally consists of everything and the library tab provides you playlists. Additionally, you can import music from your google play music. You will also be able to go to the chart and select a country to see the top artists and top music with trending tracks. They have made the application easy to navigate through moods and genres.
For instance, there are divisions like chill, feel-good, romance, sleep, party, workout, and so on. Like other libraries, you will see pretty good genres, from African beats to Indie & Alternative, from shimmering jazz to heavy rock & metal.
The recommendation is based upon the location you are, your listening habits as we know YouTube has a pretty clever recommendation algorithm. Similarly, you can like or dislike music and tracks.
Tricks for playing background music without a subscription
I had said earlier that you can’t play music in the background if you aren’t in a premium account, but here is a little shortcut that you can play songs with another task in synch in android.
- Go to your device browser and type music.youtube.
- Go to setting and then select a desktop mode.
- Play the music and turn off a display.
- In case of music stops, wake to a standby screen and go-to media control and play.
But, keep in mind that different androids have different functionalities to handle the music. You might have to enable playback control.
Cons of using YouTube Music
Every platform has its pros and cons. What I have found is we cannot browse our music here. You have to wait for an endless screen to load before jumping to the library. There are thousands of tracks being uploaded, but navigation sucks a bit. Similarly, we cannot help ourselves comparing this app to Spotify. Device connectivity isn’t as good as Spotify as it has more hardware integrations compared to Google. I have seen some reviews where people seem to have complained about difficult upload issues.
Hope this read helped you to draw a better picture of what YouTube Music is and how it works. If you are hunting for tracks that are premium and unique, synch music library would be one of your options. BAM Music is an Indie music library with more than 30,000 catalogs of music from artists and record labels all across the world. To begin, you can start with sullen and gloomy tracks from Moody Cows. If you have doubts about using music on YouTube as an online creators, this article will help.

City Hall, a classic New York restaurant operated by Chef/Owner Henry Meer, serves an exquisite American cuisine including steaks, fresh lobster and an oyster bar to please all. Housed in a 19th century cast-iron building, City Hall is reminiscent of the grand restaurants that once graced the cobble stoned streets of gaslight New York. The main dining room is a vast and airy 3,500-square-feet with a 15-foot ceiling, as well as cast iron columns, windowed arches and black steel chandeliers. A carlyle-style banquette forms the centerpiece of the room with a series of cozy booths ringing the perimeter. The east side of the room features the oyster bar, where the savory pan-roasts and gorgeous plateaus are prepared, while a semi-open kitchen provides a glimpse of the uniquely kinetic choreography performed in the preparation of fine food.
High on the cream-colored walls the room is rimmed by oversized, backlit photographs of Old New York by such famous photographers as Berenice Abbot and Walter Rosenblum. These street scenes of garlic vendors and oyster sellers from the 1920's and 30's evoke not only a feeling of nostalgia, but also a sense of time, perspective and, yes, even possibility.
Whether it's a Highrise of succulent seafood or their celebrated Delmonico Steak, City Hall prides itself on the quality and freshness of its meat, fish and produce.
In fact it is in pursuit of this ideal that Chef Meer has planted five acres on the sixty acre Beechnut Hill Farm in Bridgehampton, with an eclectic array of fruits and vegetables. These include heirloom tomatoes, fingerling potatoes, garlic, breakfast radishes, organic raspberries and peppers, and a variety of herbs all to be used exclusively at City Hall and the Cub Room.
Meer has long been an advocate of organically grown produce and has supported not only the local green markets, but also helped truck farmers with seed money, advancing them cash for highly priced specialized seeds.

Endometrial Ablation (cont.)
Endometrial Ablation Post-Procedure
Minor side effects can occur following the procedure. These may include:
Endometrial Ablation Risks and Complications
Serious complications of endometrial ablation are not common but they may include:
- perforation of the uterus,
- tears or damage to the cervical opening (the opening to the uterus), and
- burns of the uterus or intestines with certain ablation techniques (for example, laser or microwave ablation procedures).
Very rarely, the fluid used to expand the uterus during the procedure can be absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema).
Some women may experience regrowth of the endometrium over time and may require further surgery.

The Filecabinet is a powerful easy to use Document Management system. It allows all or certain users instant access to contracts, invoices, images, drawings, and other digital objects.
The process is simple and fast. The data is either scanned in or imported from files. The data is categorised in an easy way by selecting a subject and writing a definition that could facilitate a later search for a certain document.
The access is robust. The user keys in his search criteria and the system displays all documents that measure up to the selected criteria. The user can then view and process them further.
An extension to The FileCabinet allows users to access data over the Internet. This enables, for example a salesman to access all the documents he needs, from his laptop over the Internet, even though nobody is in the office.
The FileCabinet is Microsoft .Net based and can therefore work with other Microsoft .Net products. It uses Ms SQL, Oracle as well as some other databases.

Republican convention airs naturalization ceremony at White House with Trump
President Trump presided over a naturalization ceremony for five new U.S. citizens at the White House, with the event airing Tuesday evening during the Republican National Convention.
Featuring such a ceremony— especially one taking place at the White House during a political party’s convention — is highly unusual. It was the second time on Tuesday the convention featured Trump acting in his official capacity as president. Earlier in the evening, convention programming included a clip of Trump’s pardon of a convicted bank robber who now runs a nonprofit for prisoners.
In the naturalization ceremony, acting Homeland Security Security Chad Wolf read the naturalization oath to the new citizens before Trump took the lectern to congratulate each of the five individuals from countries like India, Lebanon and Sudan.
“Today, America rejoices as we welcome five absolutely incredible new members into our great American family,” he said.
“You follow the rules, you obey the laws, you learned our history, embraced our values and proved yourselves to be men and women of the highest integrity,” he added. “It’s not so easy. You’ve been through a lot.”
Throughout his presidency, Trump has sought to limit legal immigration and crack down on illegal immigration, vowing for years to build a massive wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The naturalization ceremony comes as Trump and Republicans seek to cast a more optimistic view of the president’s tenure in office as the campaign enters its final 10 weeks.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.
