Born in the city of Dordrecht in Holland Matthijs (1985) pretty soon discovered he had an affection towards music. His parents stimulated him and his brother by taking them to classical concerts at a young age. At the age of 7 Matthijs started playing the cello but he switched to bass guitar at the age of 9. Since his interest in music became more and more intense Matthijs enrolled in a special high school that was combined with a preconcervatory education. At the age of 18 he stopped pursuing his career as a bass player and started focusing on composition.
It was the combination of cinema and music that led him to pursue a career as a film composer. Despite only a couple of Dutch directors and cinematographers such as Paul Verhoeven & Jan de Bont, there weren’t many Dutch people in the top film industry. That fact given turned out to become a great stimulance in finding his own, probably European flavoured, artistic voice. Due to the lack of film music programs at conservatories in Holland and Europe, Matthijs decided to focus on self studying.
At the age of 22 Matthijs was picked by the Dutch composer Martijn Schimmer to assist him in composing music for TV shows and drama series. Because of the growing demand for their music and the great personal and musical collaboration, the two became co-composers for a lot of productions.
In 2010 Matthijs scored his first feature film together with Martijn: “Fuchsia the mini-which”, a co-production of NL Film & Walt Disney Motion Pictures. After scoring about 4 drama series this was his first real film scoring assignment and also his first chance to work with full symphonic orchestra. This project was a confirmation for him: This was what he wanted to do!
Late 2010 Matthijs went to Los Angeles to participate in a Film Music Orchestration course given by well-known orchestrator Scott Smalley.
In 2011 Matthijs won the Polish “Transatlantyk Film Music Competition” founded by Academy Award Winning composer Jan A.P. Kaczmarek. Out of about 100 composers worldwide Matthijs and 9 other composers were invited to Poznan, Poland, where the festival was held and where the composers showed the same two 10-minute films they all scored. The jury included composer Jan A.P. Kaczmarek (“Finding Neverland”, “Unfaithful”), producer Richard Gladstein (“Finding Neverland”, “Pulp Fiction”, “Cider House Rules”), composer Peter Golub (“Frozen River”, “The Great Debators” and the Music Director of Sundance Institute), producer Michael Phillips (“Taxi Driver”, “Sting”, Close Encounters of the Third Kind”), and composer Christopher Young (“The Shopping News”, “Spiderman 3”).
Matthijs took 1st place and title of “Transatlantyk Young Composer for 2011”.
In the beginning of 2012 Matthijs finished his fifth feature film score and brought his scoring for TV shows to a total of about 150 TV show episodes. Besides composing, Matthijs arranged and orchestrated for a variety of projects such as the music for the TV show “The Voice of…” (NBC) composed by Martijn Schimmer, which aired in 140 countries.

“The first book to consider video as an art form, was influential in establishing the field of media arts. In the book he argues that a new, expanded cinema is required for a new consciousness. He describes various types of filmmaking utilising new technology, including film special effects, computer art, video art, multi-media environments and holography." - wikipedia
Gene Youngblood (born 30 May 1942), is a theorist of media arts and politics, and a respected scholar in the history and theory of alternative cinemas. His best known book, Expanded Cinema, was the first to consider video as an art form and has been credited with helping to legitimate the fields of computer art and media arts. He is also known for his pioneering work in the media democracy movement, a subject on which he has taught, written, and lectured since 1967. - wikipedia
This is visionary. Prophetic. Brilliant. Genius! &.. wishful thinking?! & I only see 2 editions listed here: the 1st paperback & the 1st hardback! That's a disgrace. Is this bk SO esoteric? Does it have SO little popular appeal? I reckon SO. It was published in 1970. I was living in Baltimore at the time & I heard a fair amt of references to it. This was probably b/c of Stan Vanderbeek's heading of the UMBC (University of Maryland, Baltimore County Campus) film & video department. It wdn't've been b/c of any insightful professors at MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) where film & video weren't really looked upon as valid artforms yet!
Vanderbeek was a visionary (& a very nice guy) & he's in "Expanded Cinema". Rightfully so. At any rate, it was an influential bk to many a UMBC student & yet.. not THAT influential b/c I don't think most people 'got it'. I, on the other hand, think I 'got it'.. but I didn't READ IT until now! 39 yrs later! In other words, I feel like I was a natural youngun in this zeitgeist. &, thanks to the head of the film & video department of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Helen Cyr, many of the works discussed in this bk were actually available FREE to be gotten out of the public library & projected. THANK YOU HELEN! I certainly appreciated this at the time but I appreciate it EVEN MORE NOW as a I realize how hard it must be to witness any of this work these days.
I actually got many of the works referenced in this bk out of the library & made very poor quality transfers of them for my own personal collection & I'm very glad I did! Since then, I've looked up many of the works online to see if they're available on DVD & the answer is generally NO. Or, if they are, I haven't found them. Now, of course, this cd be b/c the makers didn't want them available in a non-film medium. On the other hand, not having them available for easy home viewing is ironic insofar as much of the bk touchs on the very revolution of home viewing that has come into existence since the writing of "Expanded Cinema" - hence my calling it prophetic. Youngblood certainly nailed the coming of home movie theaters & the internet!
"Expanded Cinema" is a classic example of a bk I cd've marked up w/ things to reference & things to be inspired by on just about every page. Here's from Buckminster Fuller's Introduction, page 26:
"As yet preoccupied only with visible, static, newspicture views of superficial surfaces of people and things - with a one-millionth fraction of reality which it has cartooned in utter falsehood - society fails to realize that several hundred thousand radio or tv communications are at all times invisibly present everywhere around our planet. They permeate every room in every building passing right through walls and human tissue. That is to say that the stone walls and human tissue are invisible and nonexistent to the electro-magnetic wave reality. We only deceived ourselves into reflexing that the walls are solid. How do you see through your solid eyeglasses? They are not full of holes. They are aggregates of atoms as remote from one another as the stars. There's plenty of space for the waves of light to penetrate."
Fuller goes on to develop this vision to discuss thought transmission:
"It may well be that human eyes are just such infra-sized parabolic transceiver cups. It may be that our transceiver eyes adequately accommodate the extraordinarily low magnitude of energy propagating of the brain as electro-magnetic wave pattern oscillations to be picked up by others."
Keep that in mind the next time you look into someone else's eyes! In Youngblood's Preface he writes:
"We're in transition from the Industrial Age to the Cybernetic Age, characterized by many as the post-Industrial Age. But I've found the term Paleocybernetic valuable as a conceptual tool with which to grasp the significance of our present environment: combining the primitive potential associated with Paleolithic and the transcendental integrities of "practical utopianism" associated with Cybernetic."
Again in the Preface he makes the claim that with "Holographic Cinema" "we'll arrive at that point in the evolution of intelligence when the concept of reality no longer will exist." &, here, we enter the realm of what I'm calling "wishful thinking". Such "radical evolution" philosophizing runs as a strong current throughout the bk & I find it to be one of the most exciting things about it.. &, yet.. as a person immersed in such subjects who's grown into adulthood during the time of Youngblood's prophesies I find myself agreeing more w/ the cautionary tales of Jerry Mander's "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Televison" published only 8 yrs later: 'reality' may not have ceased to exist but people's grasp of it has probably been severely skewed by the 'revolutionary' potential of tv, eg. & where exactly IS this Holographic Cinema that Youngblood predicted wd be here by 1990? I've had a primitive hologram in my personal collection probably since the 1970s & "Virtual Reality" has come into existence but, & I think it's a shame, Hologram Cinema, as Youngblood explains it to be possible isn't exactly a common thing now is it?!
I was delighted to read on p65: "The artist is always an anarchist, a revolutionary, a creator of new worlds imperceptibly gaining on reality." I expected Youngblood to be a scholar but a scholar & an anarchist is better yet! On page 70 we read a quote from Susan Sontag: "If there is any 'knowledge' to be gained through art, it is the experience of the form or style of knowing the subject, rather than a knowledge of the subjects itself." & that seems to me to be the premise of Language Writing too. That wd've been cutting edge theory at the time & I probably wd've agreed w/ it somewhat if not entirely but now I'm more inclined to think that it's symptomatic of the creative person's rush to justify new forms more than something whose form necessarily holds water that we can actually drink. &, then, "Television Renders Cinema Obsolete as Communicator of Objective Reality": OI! Is this the bad influence of Marshall McLuhan?
"Television is the earth's superego." "Before television we saw little of the human condition. Now we see and hear it daily." Oh, yeah? &, now, w/ the internet that's even more 'true' - & still as 'false' as ever! For me, we just have more mediated perception of the "human condition" - wch isn't quite the same now is it? "We're in direct contact with the human condition; there's no longer any need to represent it through art. Not only does this release cinema; it virtually forces cinema to move beyond the objective human condition into newer extra-objective territory." &, this, in some sense is a main crux of the bk. & maybe it's wishful thinking. At any rate, if this has happened in the last 39 yrs I haven't noticed it!
"Syncretism is a total field of harmonic opposites in continual metamorphosis; this metamorphosis produces a sense of kinaesthesia that evokes in the inarticulate conscious of the viewer recognition of an overall pattern-event that is the film itself as well as the "subject" of the experience. Recognition of this pattern-event results in a state of oceanic consciousness. A mythopoeic reality is generated through post-stylization of unstylized reality."
Well sd! If ever there's been a consciousness-expansion-drug-use -combined-w/-Buddhist-philosophy statement regarding & defining EXPANDED CINEMA this may very well be it! & I agree w/ it (sortof)! But, as wonderful as the above may seem, it's probably of even less concern to the 'Average Joe' now than it was 39 yrs ago. The banal still rules as the people drudge thru their wage-slave & Christinanity & Islam mind-deadened existences. Oceanic Consciousness? I need a Coke!
Youngblood, in a section on Stan Brakhage, writes: "Superimposition is not used as an economical substitute for "parallel montage" - indicating simultaneous but spatially separate events - for spatio-temporal dimensions do not exist in the consciousness." &, then, "When you see the sun superimposed over a lovemaking scene, it's not an invitation to interpret a meaning such as cosmic regeneration or the smallness of man in the universe, but rather as an occasion to experience our own involuntary and inarticulate associations." Oh really? be that as it may, as a film & video maker myself, I think I can accurately attest that superimposition is often also just a gratuitous way of making movies denser w/o enriching them at all - overused by amateur experimenters in much the same way that echo is. It might've been thrilling to witness in 1959-1964 when Brakhage was making Dog Star Man, the film under discussion, but, IMO, it's largely an overused quickie mart cliché today.
Of course, "Stag Films" have been around since the birth of film PERIOD but Youngblood addresses the then fledgling existence of videotape 'porn': "Those of the old consciousness warn that although the videotape cartridge can be used to unite and elevate humanity, it can also "degrade" us by allowing unchecked manufacture and exchange of pornography. But the new consciousness regards this attitude itself as a degraded product of a culture without integrity, a culture perverse enough to imagine that love's body could somehow be degrading." Maybe "love's body" can't be "degrading" but, c'mon, Gene, we're talking SEX here - not LOVE. & SEX can be exploited ad nauseum by ruthless capitalist interests in ways that completely disembody it from any hope of LOVE.
"The hardware and software environment presently exists in which one can purchase films as easily as one purchases books or records. The video/film symbiosis accomplished in electron-beam recording results in the end of "movies" as social event and technical discipline. The decisive factor in the demise of cinema & TV as we've known them is the ability to choose information rather than being enslaved to mass broadcasting schedules or distribution patterns, restricted by both mode and (profit) motive." & that really was prophetic in 1970! After all, VHS tapes were far from common household items then! I didn't even know anyone w/ a VHS cartridge camcorder until 1981! & he was a technician. Alas, how many people take advantage of this ability to unleash themselves from the "mass broadcasting schedules or distribution patterns"? Not as many as I'd like to see!
"We're entering a mythic age of electronic realities that exist only on a metaphysical plane." Yeah, yeah, but people are still trapped in the same old, same old. "Through the hologram window we peer into a future world that defies the imagination, a world in which the real and the illusory are one, a world at once beautiful and terrifying. It is certain that holographic cinema and television will be common by the year 2000; but more probably this will take place within fifteen years from now." Whahappen? It's easy for me to pick on Youngblood in hindsight - all prophets are open to such - after all, I predicted that there wd HAVE TO BE A REVOLUTION in the United States by 1984 - it seemed so obvious that the Reagan yrs wd generate it! Instead, things got even worse w/ the subsequent Bush regimes. But Youngblood's prophesies were reasonable & highly intelligent at the time.
In conclusion, Youngblood writes: "Technology is the only thing that keeps man human." [..:] "We have no basis for postulating a "human nature" until there's no difference between the individual and the system. We cannot ask man to respect his environment until this difference is erased. This is anarchy: seeking a natural order. It is technoanarchy because it will be realized only through the instrumented and documented intellect that we call technology." Well.. can't say that I agree w/ that! I think technology is overemphasized. I'm much more interested in Fuller's Introduction-postulated thought transmissions through the eyes.
Regardless, this bk is a primary text growing out of the notion of "radical evolution". & I'm a staunch proponent of Radical Evolution. But I think we're as much in the era of the cycle of rot as we are in the cycle of growth. As my friend Hyla Willis & I recently discussed, the notion that radical evolution goes on forever into greater & greater highs of oceanic consciousness is as much a delusion of unlimited growth as the capitalist "American Dream" - it seems like great wishful thinking, like working toward the use of nanotechnology for 'immortality', but, more likely, those of us who've tried to live the dream will "live fast & die young" or only take baby steps not ultimately so differentiable from those of anyone else less spectacularly motivated. So be it. Youngblood is STILL a genius - & I don't say that lightly!
Totally zooted hippie-utopian new media art screed more inclined to quote Bucky Fuller (who contributes a very, uh, “dymaxion” introduction and a poem) and Bob Dylan than anyone actually working in the field the book is ostensibly centered on - although I’m sure that Youngblood (R.I.P.) would tell me that the “paleocybernetic age” of art was exactly what they were talking about! Lots of great stuff here - I’m a particular fan of the little pearls sprinkled throughout like “Wavelength is a romantic film” (so true bestie!) or “all art is experimental or it isn’t art - art is research,” as well as the delightfully bitchy chapter on 2001, which splits the difference between detailed technical dissection of the stargate sequence and a lengthy interview with Arthur C. Clarke about how Kubrick’s problem is that he’s too much of a damn humanist and that’s why the movie fails - but I find the underlying thesis a bit hypocritical; there’s a lot of form-is-content process-forward discussion of art that really speaks to me, but it seems Youngblood is more interested in simply shifting the metaphysical lens from what’s being represented (if anything) in a piece of work to the technology behind it, the metaphysics at play there. A piece he discusses carries the title of “The Medium Is The Medium,” and I‘m frustrated by the fact that the book seems to reject that premise entirely in favor of digging into what modern systems like telecommunication and computation inherently mean and how they play a role in psychedelic inner-space “happenings”. A bit too high-minded for me - I am a simpleton who believes in art for art’s sake and am turned off by these discussions of metaphysics, which are especially disappointing in a book that gets so many other things so right.
There's such a strange ethereal feeling of importance about this book, as though it were an artifact passed down and hidden through ages. Nothing in the book's message seems the slightest dated and still remains prophetic. Of course, people in the 60s and 70s anticipates technology to develop much faster than it actually has in regard to film and video tech, so the predictions about the near future of video art seem tacky at best. Still, the book has the feel of a manifesto or a creative call to arms. I've never read anything quite like it and may never again.
The first half or so of this book is invaluable and anyone interested in cinema should read it. It offers illuminating thoughts on the purpose of art and cinema and the direction it needs to move in if it's to remain relevant and powerful. It absolutely changed the way I think about movies. As the book goes on though, Youngblood focuses on newer mediums and their importance, such as computer films, video, mixed-media theater, and holograms. He goes seriously in depth on these topics and spends a lot of time on technical details which can be difficult to understand, especially considering all of the technology he describes is from 1970 and before. This book goes from fascinating theory to a collegiate style textbook. Still worth the read.
This book might as well be titled Expanded Art. The reason why this book feels timeless and mythical its because it speaks of somewhat universal principles of creativity before explaining the techniques behind the works. I loved it.

The Irish government has ordered an investigation into high prices in response to the changeover to the euro.
Tom Kitt, the Minister for Consumer Affairs, said the euro's first month had confirmed Dublin's view that it would benefit Ireland's economy. But Mr Kitt, who was prominently involved in the changeover, also conceded that it had uncovered the degree to which prices were steeper in Ireland than in other parts of the European Union, and announced a study of the costings.
"The floodlights are now sharply focused on prices throughout the length and breadth of the eurozone and any retailer who thinks he or she can exploit the consumer will have nowhere to hide," he said. Mr Kitt stressed the right of consumers to ask why there were such marked differences across EU member states.
"Whereas the new transparency, combined with a vigilant and critical media, will lead to a more competitive trading environment among the 12 states, I believe the data produced so far has demonstrated that the prices charged in Ireland for some of the goods surveyed may be higher than necessary, when compared with prices charged for the same goods in the other countries," he said.
"Notwithstanding the issues of different levels of taxes within the eurozone, I believe the consumer is entitled to ask the simple question – why is there this disparity in prices?"
Mr Kitt said the question needed to be put first to those traders who were charging higher prices for goods that were sold "much more cheaply" in other member states.
Non-governmental and consumer organisations throughout the eurozone had a vital role in "maintaining the spotlight" on pricing, he said, adding that there should be a collective strategy. "The consumer cannot lose if we progress the issue in this unified manner."


Blendon Township is encouraging businesses to follow the township's example of infrastructure reinvestment with a new facade improvement program.
The Blendon Township Board of Trustees approved the new program at its Sept. 11 meeting.
Under the program, businesses can apply for grants matching up to 50 percent of the cost of design and construction of improvements, said Blendon Township Administrator Bryan Rhoads. Businesses can receive up to $10,000 for each phase of improvements.
Funding for the program will come from revenue brought in the joint economic development zone the township established with Westerville.
A portion of the funds raised through the district must be reinvested in infrastructure within the zone, Rhoads said, and encouraging businesses to upgrade their private properties will compliment public improvements planned by the township.
"Our goal is to help spruce up these businesses," Rhoads said. "If we encourage these business owners to enhance their sites, their facades, it's going to increase the property value of the area, increase the traffic that comes to the area, just help us along as we try to clean up the area."
With the master plan the township created with Franklin County three years ago, the township has design concepts for its major corridors. Property owners that apply for facade-improvement grants will have to work with the township to try to fit their planned improvements within the design guidelines, Rhoads said.
"They're going to have to work hand-in-hand with the township if they want to take advantage of this program," Rhoads said. "The goal is to have a cohesive look for the area."
Owners of the Glengary shopping center, at the southeast corner of Dempsey and Westerville roads, already have contacted the township about taking advantage of the program, Rhoads said.
The owners had hired a development firm familiar with township design guidelines and were waiting for trustees to approve the program before moving forward, Rhoads said.

Christine Pelosi Attorney, author and Democratic activist :
Today on Harvey Milk Day we celebrate a man of courage who led from his heart, blazing a trail for LGBT rights and equality for all. Before his assassination, Harvey Milk was a champion of human rights and economic opportunity; in death he remains a potent symbol to millions of Americans, particularly those bullied as teenagers or fired as adults simply being gay. Aspiring leaders should take a lesson from Harvey Milk - speak truth to power and fight with the courage of your convictions.
Barack Obama has acted on the courage of his convictions, fighting for civil rights and economic opportunity, from DADT repeal to healthcare to Wall Street reform and job creation strategies where all do our fair share to give people a fair shot. The president has made clear that performance in business and government must stand up to public scrutiny. Mitt Romney applies that scrutiny to government only; charging that attacks on business performance are attacks on business itself. This is the essence of the 2012 election - do you think public policy should deliver a service or make a profit? Do you hold government and business accountable or only government?
Into that debate stepped Cory Booker, who sided with Romney. Many Americans myself included believe Booker was wrong - Wall Street needs cops and first responders on the beat just as much as Main Street. Indeed, some Wall Streeters and private equity firm employees support President Obama because they value that traffic cop on the beat. The majority of Americans don't want accomodationists who refuse to apply the same rules to Wall Street and Main Street - we do want leaders in the spirit of Harvey Milk who will be fearless in fighting for liberty and justice for all.

Upstairs at Studio 22 Open Gallery on Market Square is the third annual Salon Prize, on view until Feb. 24, and this year’s show is quite possibly the best one yet. Started three years ago by artist Cleah Bunting to raise funds for the Kingston School of Art, the contest has proven so popular that it has had to move to larger gallery spaces with each succeeding year. Open to all Canadian artists 18 years of age and older, the Salon Prize attracts artists working in all media and subject matter, and with four cash prizes to be won, the quality of the submitted entries is quite high.
Though this Salon Prize is a relatively new competition, it has a prestigious precedent in the Salon of the Academie Française. The Salon was an informal annual art exhibition put on by the Academie in the Salon d’Apollon in the Louvre since the 17th century. However, beginning in the 19th century the Salon achieved great importance as an arbiter of artistic taste. Exhibited works were selected by jury from hundreds of entries, and acceptance generally secured an artist’s reputation, with further prestige attached to medals awarded in all areas of the arts. A parallel juried exhibition in London, England, sponsored by the Royal Academy of Arts, bestowed similar benefits on artists selected for each annual show. By the end of the 19th century, however, both the Salon and the Academy show had become highly academic and conservative, rejecting work by innovative artists, and causing the annual exhibitions to become synonymous with staid, conventional art.
Fortunately there is no danger of being bored by conventionalism in the Salon Prize here in Kingston in the 21st century. This show fairly crackles with creative energy, and the exhibited work is varied in subject matter, media, and approach. There are paintings, prints, drawings, mixed-media, and sculptural works, and thought-provoking avant-garde entries hang beside interesting, traditional portraits, landscapes, and figural works. The one sculptural work in the exhibition, a small bronze, is captivating with its spiraling, connected figures.
The jury this year was composed of three respected Kingston artists: award-winning portrait artist Dan Hughes, portrait artist (and winner of the last Kingston Prize) Mike Bayne, and award-winning watercolourist Sally Milne. There are a number of portraits in the Salon Prize exhibition, and whether this reflects the proportion of the types of entries received or that Hughes and Bayne exerted powerful influence I can’t say, but each of the entries in this genre (one of which is the First Place winner) is remarkable for its portrayal of the human figure. One charming piece is highly reminiscent of Flemish portraiture, though with a decidedly modern feel.
Works in other genres show equal skill and talent, with vibrant and intense colours and themes. In addition to being an eclectic show, the Salon Prize is one that invites the viewer to contemplate both images and subject matter. The jury must have had a difficult time in selecting the finalist, and surely had some lively discussions in the process.
At the main branch of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library is another juried exhibition, this one showing the work of members of the Organization of Kingston Women Artists (OKWA), and it is on the walls of the Wilson Room and Foyer Gallery until Feb. 27. Featuring works in a range of subject matter and media, you can enjoy paintings, prints, encaustic, pottery, glass, and mixed media by many of our local artistic talents. As ever, there are many examples of very fine, original, and expressive works by this group of artists.
This year, the single-person “jury” consisted of Toronto-based multi-media artist, teacher and writer Sarindar Dhaliwal, whose own works explore issues of cultural identity through narrative, installation, printmaking, collage, painting and video projection. With such a broad range of expression in her own artistic practice I do not doubt that Dhaliwal was more than qualified to judge this show, and that her justifications and criticisms were of great value to participating OKWA members (though it must have been difficult for the sole juror to debate the merits of many worthy submissions with herself).
But as I did last year for this show (“Will the Real Jury Please Stand Up”, Feb. 18, 2012), I wonder how effective any single juror can be in a scenario like this, and how the broader viewing public will respond to the winning entries and the criteria for their selection. It would also be useful, for those viewing the show after the official opening, to have the specific category of each award delineated beside each winning entry rather than simply a ribbon on its own.
Juried exhibitions are always interesting to view, and here you have two opportunities in close proximity to each other to look, and perhaps do some judging of your own.

Less than half of Milwaukee households have responded to 2020 census
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- As of Thursday afternoon, less than half of the households in Milwaukee have completed the 2020 census, according to regional Census officials.
Marilyn Sanders, regional director of the U.S. Census Bureau's Chicago Regional Office, said 48.8 percent of households in Milwaukee have completed the 2020 census compared to 58.4 percent in Wisconsin and 51.6 percent nationwide.
"The census results are used for planning. They're used for funding decisions that are made in our community that are critical during this pandemic," Sanders said during a teleconference Thursday afternoon.
Census data is used to divvy up states' Congressional seats and allocate federal dollars for projects such as new hospitals and road construction.
Because of the pandemic, the deadline to complete the 2020 census has been extended to Oct. 31. But local officials are encouraging residents to complete it as soon as possible.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said in previous decades, Milwaukee was above the national average.
"We are gathering here today for a call to action asking all of our residents to fill out their census form," Barrett said during the teleconference.
Sharon Robinson, chair of the Greater Milwaukee Complete Count Committee, said Wisconsin receives about $12.6 billion annually based on U.S. Census data. She said every uncounted resident, the state and city risk losing $1,600 each year for the ten years they go uncounted.
Committee members said the COVID-19 pandemic has caused some challenges in collecting the data. Door-to-door operations in Milwaukee have been postponed from May to August.
"What we're encouraging folks to do is stay home, sanitize and self respond," said committee co-chair Matt Dannenberg.
The U.S. Census Bureau recognizes certain communities as hard to count. They include children, immigrant and refugee communities, low-income families, renters and those who do not live in traditional housing, people of color, individuals with disabilities and rural communities.
"Refugee communities are often overlooked by society as a whole, and largely, that's because there exists little to no data for members of our community," said Paul Vang, civic engagement director of the Hmong American Women’s Association.
Vang also wanted to remind refugee communities that citizens and non-citizens need to be counted in the census.
"For those of you who are concerned about your data being used against you, you can be sure that your data's protected by law," he said.

(Webinar) FDA Update: BIMO – What Sponsors Need to Know
The FDA’s Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO) program is implemented to ensure the protection of the rights, safety, and welfare of human research subjects and to ensure the accuracy and reliability of clinical trial data. The FDA’s Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) Office of Bioresearch Monitoring conducts inspections related to FDA regulated research. Recent updates to the compliance program governing inspections of sponsors and CROs. may mean operational resets as well as prompt the need to update inspection readiness programs. This webinar will highlight key changes to the compliance program for sponsors and CROs and provide recommended best practices for inspection readiness programs.


THE City of Swan and shires of Mundaring and Northam have shared in more than $1 million of funding from the state government’s mitigation activity fund (MAF).
The funding is part of a total of $5.7m in MAF grants to reduce fuel loads and bushfire risks and help 28 local governments build bushfire resilience and boost their preparedness ahead of the high-threat period.
Shire of Mundaring has been allocated $500,000 for five activities, while the City of Swan will receive $324,659 for seven activities and Shire of Northam $176,915 for 25 activities.
In total, the latest funding will deliver almost 550 mitigation activities on state-owned land managed by local governments.
They will undertake works to minimise the risks and impact of bushfires including building firebreaks, reducing fuel loads and carrying out hazard reduction burns.
In Mundaring the $500,000 grant will be used to conduct bushfire mitigation treatments at Lake Leschenaultia, Chidlow and Stoneville.
Shire President James Martin said the funding will assist the shire in undertaking mitigation treatments such as removing dead vegetation, pruning overhanging trees, clearing fire access ways, weed control and removal of non-native species to reduce fuel loads, along with community engagement.
In the coming months the shire will carry out mitigation works by applying forestry mulching at Lake Leschenaultia (fire access track upgrades and trackside woody weed removal), and roadside woody weed removal along Old Northam Road, Liberton to Jason and Stoneville Road, Bentley to Cameron.
Landowners and occupiers can also assist with bushfire mitigation by ensuring that appropriate treatments are implemented on their own land, meeting the requirements outlined in the shire’s firebreak and fuel load notice.
Emergency Services Minister Stephen Dawson said with 90 per cent of the state prone to bushfires, the MAF is empowering WA communities to be better prepared.
“The knowledge and understanding local governments have of their area puts them in a unique position to build resilience within their communities. With warmer weather just months away, now is the time to prepare high-risk areas in order to protect what is most important to us all – life and property.
“The MAF has already given 70 local governments financial support to undertake crucial hazard reduction burns and I encourage others to take advantage of this program.”

The Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited and the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) have called for more collaboration between researchers and businesses to find solutions to Nigeria’s growing power challenge.
Both organisations made the call during a virtual forum for the winners of the Nigeria Prize for Science 2019; Professor Meihong Wang and Dr. Mathew Aneke, to share insight into their winning work on “Carbon Capture, Carbon Utilisation, and Biomass Gasification and Energy Storage for Power Generation”.
The forum jointly organised by the LCCI and NNLN, sponsors of the Nigeria Prize for Science, the Nigeria Prize for Literature and the Nigeria Prize for Literary Criticism also dwelt on safe bio-alternatives to firewood for cooking and emission of less carbon.
The Deputy President of Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Dr. Olawale Cole, in his remarks, said that the handshake between the industry players and scientists is the pathway to generating value that can turn around the narrative on the country’s development.
He added that only then can industry operators make informed decisions, noting that elsewhere collaboration between businesses and scientific research organisations have led to ground-breaking outcomes which helped in solving societal problems.
In her remarks, General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, NLNG, Mrs Eyono Fatayi-Williams , who spoke in the same vein, noted that that was the reason the company had continued to support winning works in different areas of science through the Nigeria Prize for Science.
She added that the force behind the company’s drive was its vision of “helping to build a better Nigeria”, with the deployment of brilliant ideas to solve national problems.
Also speaking, former Minister of Commerce and ex-President LCCI, Mrs Nike Akande, who lauded the efforts of the NLNG, called for more innovation and collaboration between Nigerian researchers and those in the business community.
The 2019 winning work provides solutions to the capture of carbon from the atmosphere and subsequent utilisation as well as providing alternative and safe energy for cooking and electricity.
The prize winners said that it has potential in reversing the trend of tree cutting for cooking and contributing positively to the roll-back of droughts and desertification in the country.
“The work also shows possibilities of using bioenergy for electrification” the said.
The annual prize is a $100,000 award sponsored by NLNG to promote innovations in science and technology that will solve age-long problems and drive development in Nigeria.

There is little question that much of our vitality is displayed in our faces. Our features tell our truest stories. We display strength in our actions while our eyes tell the world of our weariness. Our mouth speaks in confidence while our cheeks betray our nerves. We control our outward displays of anger, while our noses flare uncontrollably.
It’s no surprise then, that in the ups and downs of Joseph’s life, our Rabbis saw Joseph’s face as the barometer of his brokenness.
Of all the male characters in the Bible, Joseph was considered to be the most beautiful. Even as a young child, Joseph understood the power of his features. Our Rabbis teach that when he was younger, Joseph would spend countless hours “making up his eyes and curling his hair” (Genesis Rabbah 84:7). Around his tent, his father used to gaze at his son’s beauty. He was the spitting image of his mother Rachel, who has passed away along the road to Hebron. Her delicate features were his. His image gave hers immortality (Zohar 216b).
Later in his life, after he was sold into slavery in Egypt, Joseph’s beauty would emerge again as an important part of his story. Working as a slave in Potiphar’s house, his master’s wife grew smitten with her servant (Genesis Rabbah 87:3). In fact, when she told her neighbors about Joseph’s handsome visage they did not believe her description. No one could possibly look as good as she had described. So, she devised a plan to prove that her servant was, in fact, as good looking as she claimed:
Said the Rabbis of blessed memory: On one occasion the Egyptian women gathered and went to behold Joseph’s beauty. What did Potiphar’s wife do? She took citrons [etrogim] and gave them to each of them and gave each a knife and then called to Joseph and stood him before them. When they beheld how handsome Joseph was, they cut their hands [with the knives]. She said to them: If you do thus after just one moment, I, who see him all the time, am I not all the more so [justified in being smitten]? (Midrash Tanhuma, Vayeshev 5)
Though Joseph’s face, like that of Helen of Troy could “cast 1000 ships” his looks were not immutable. At times of pride and comfort, Joseph was radiant, but occasionally his face would betray his fear and dismay and his light would go out.
There is a powerful teaching in our tradition that when Joseph’s brother’s sought to kill him for his favored status among his father, they threw him into a hole filled with snakes and scorpions (Midrash Tanhuma, Vayeshev 2). Eventually, a band of traveling merchants passed by and offered to buy him for twenty silver pieces. This purchase would eventually lead Joseph to the doorstep of Potphar’s house.
However, when our ancient Rabbis read this part of Joseph’s story, the thing that interested them the most was not that the merchants wanted to buy Joseph, but rather that they paid so little for him. As they point out, twenty silver pieces was barely enough money, when split among Joseph’s brothers, for each to buy a pair of shoes. Shouldn’t someone as beautiful as Joseph yield a higher price?
Our Rabbis explain that sitting at the bottom of that pit, scared and alone, humiliated by the cruelty of his kin, his face changed. The seemly cocky and confident Joseph became pale and forlorn. All the light that made him beautiful left his face in an instant. Though he might try to look brave, his features would betray him. Seeing Joseph looking sickly and weak, the merchants felt that Joseph was worthless. There was no need to offer more than a token for him.
We all move through the cycles of life. At times we glow, resplendent with energy and strength. At other times we are shadows, dull and ashen. Each of these states are temporary. There are ephemeral glimpses into how we are, not who we are.
Joseph, for the most part, was a capable, strong, gleaming personality. But he too suffered. And he was judged for how that suffering impacted his countenance. The folly of the merchants was that they looked at his fallen face and assumed it defined his character.
I’ve seen too many people make the same mistake as these merchants. We have met someone and seeing their pain, we have assumed a certain knowledge of their temperament and disposition. Yet, just because our faces may look forlorn doesn’t mean we have lost our worth. Joseph’s story teaches us an important lesson: our impressions of others must be made over the long-term. A quick glance toward someone stuck in a pit does not tell their full story. If only these merchants had crawled into it with him and learned his truth. Then, they would have appreciated the power of Joseph’s priceless soul.
Each one of us has incalculable merit. Sometimes our faces convey it. Sometimes they mask it. Yet, we are not defined by our states but by our being. We err when we cannot tell the difference between the two.

The Subsidiary has applied for a Vermont money transmitter license. Upon receipt of the license, Respondent intends to transfer all of its existing Vermont customers to the Subsidiary.

The administrative penalty shall be paid within ten (10) days of the execution of this Stipulation and Consent Order.
The Department and Respondent believe that an immediate and sudden end of Respondent’s Vermont activities could be detrimental to Vermont customers.

Respondent shall complete the licensing process for the Subsidiary and transfer all existing Vermont customers to the Subsidiary by January 15, 2021. Alternatively, Respondent shall wind down and cease its operations in Vermont by January 15, 2021. In no event shall Respondent continue to engage in unlicensed activity in Vermont after January 15, 2021.

Nothing contained in this Stipulation and Consent Order shall restrain or limit the Department in responding to and addressing any complaint filed with the Department involving Respondent and the Department reserves the right to pursue restitution in connection with any complaint filed with the Department.
The Department and Respondent are entering into this Stipulation and Consent Order to settle a dispute between them and all agree that this Stipulation and Consent Order does not constitute an adjudication of a violation of statute or regulation. Respondent neither admits nor denies the Department’s allegation that it violated Vermont’s money transmitter laws by engaging in money transmission without a license or authorization under Title 8, Chapter 79.
Respondent hereby waives its statutory right to notice and a hearing before the Commissioner.
Respondent acknowledges and agrees that this stipulation is entered into freely and voluntarily and that except as set forth herein, no promise was made to induce the Respondent to enter into it. Respondent acknowledges its understanding of and agrees to all terms, conditions, and obligations contained in this Stipulation and Consent Order.
