MP3 Paragon - What Is Paragon?
This file is no longer available on Tradebit.
11 MP3 Songs
JAZZ: Jazz Fusion, JAZZ: Acid Jazz
Paragon is the simple result of five passionate and talented young musicians following their dreams. As a result of this uncompromising approach, the band's music is a powerhouse, a maelstrom of jazz, rock, and other influences that combine to form a substance which is both soft and hard, like a cloud with a razor's edge.
From the "News" page on https://www.tradebit.com:
...Featuring 11 tracks recorded last March, "What Is Paragon?" features explosively interactive playing in a supercharged atmosphere.
"What I really like about this music is that it really has something in it for everyone, without really being pop music or commercial music. Some of the tunes are quite intellectual, whereas some are more about groove, but they all have a certain bedrock element that makes the whole thing very listenable. It wasn't just a matter of throwing our best tunes at the time on a record.. it was more about the architecture of the album itself. We wanted to make sure the whole CD flowed naturally from one track to the next," states guitarist Rob Howard.
The album indeed flows very naturally, thanks to transitional material such as the fiery "Improvisation" that comes before "The Joy Of Truth", or the beautiful, voluptuous "Introduction to Aurora" that sets up Matt Baumann's composition, "Aurora".
The album also features a great balance... for all the heavy rock based tunes such as Rob Howard's fusion homage "Saturday Evening Meditation" there are quiet numbers such as Matt Baumann's "Echoes In A Glass Room". Yet there are no "power ballads" here. Even the tunes that are not a thousand decibels are gut wretchingly intense. Look no further than Baumann's dissonant and disturbing Melody on "One" and Rob Howard's moody solo on guitar.
Perhaps the two "catchiest" numbers on the album are two Rob Howard compositions, "The OX" and "A Light In The Darkness". As Rob himself explains:
"Those tunes are really quite opposite in conception. The OX, despite it's catchy flavor, was really composed with a certain amount of compositional finesse, whereas A Light In The Darkness was written to be intentionally simple. However, the overall effect of these tunes are similar," states the composer/guitarist.
"The Joy Of Truth" has always been a favorite from the band's live show. With a riff that borrows from the heaviest of metal, and harmony that borrows from the best of the jazz tradition, this composition features each member of the band taking solos. "Aurora" is perhaps the most beautiful tune on the album. The solosts, Ben Langlois, Matt Baumann, and Rob Howard are all playing in strict service to this wonderful composition and prove that they can remove some of their chops in favor of pure taste.
"A Short Expedition no.2" is a study in "miniature composition". With a written part that does not exceed 8 bars, the tune also features an interesting component that keeps it from devolving into free/modal excess. The bassist Jason Gahler gets to choose at his discretion when to shift to the next harmony, when he feels the dissonance has gone quite far enough, and it is up to Rob Howard and Ben Langlois to adjust their solos accordingly (or not adjust if they choose!).
"In The Presence of Beauty" makes use of Lydian sounds as well as eastern pentatonics in the melody. Written to convey the joy and pain of all things beautiful, the mixture of the two elements is best represented when the guitar part and the saxophone part play together, the two melodies who are at odds with each other and make disturbing counterpoint.
The albums ends peacefully with "Echoes In A Glass Room". Matt Baumann's moving tribute to Warren Zevon starts with quiet drums, played with tasteful perfection by Matt Schieferstein. Notes fade in as if from outer space, and quiet inward thinking solos follow the haunting melody.

January 29, 2016 Headline
By REY FLORES
It was the blizzard of 2016 which almost derailed the national March for Life in our nation’s capital a couple of weeks ago, but thanks to some hearty pro-life souls, the March proceeded as planned, albeit a little smaller than expected.
Some made the great escape out of D.C. before the snow started falling in the late afternoon, but many of these same folks also got stranded across eastern highways. One group even celebrated Mass on the Pennsylvania Turnpike on an altar made of snow and ice. (See Donald DeMarco’s editorial “Fire From Ice” on p. 4A of this week’s issue.)
Either way, the blizzard was symbolic of where the pro-life movement stands today. It is paralyzed to the point that, as you read this column to the end, thousands of babies will again be aborted in the United States alone. Why aren’t we stopping this? What has happened?
On the day before the March, I attended the March for Life expo held at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Washington, D.C. I had the opportunity to meet a man I’d like to introduce you to.
His name is Henry Hewes and he is a pro-life Democrat who is running for president. Hewes has run for the presidency in the past, and also for mayor of New York City back in the late 1980s.
While his chances may look like a long shot, part of Hewes’ plan is to air a series of powerful pro-life ads on major media broadcast and cable networks. These ads will be tied into his campaign. This, however, will need the entire pro-life movement, or at least a good-sized portion of it, supporting Hewes’ efforts.
Hewes and I talked at length about the state of the pro-life movement today and why it is in need of a major reboot.
Hewes hit the nail on the head when he boldly stated: “Imagine if we knew that a man across the street was about to murder a child and we all knew about it. Wouldn’t we do all that we could to go over there and stop this man from killing this baby?”
“Then why aren’t we doing all that we can to stop abortion in America?” Hewes added.
During our conversation, we agreed that while a lot of work has been done, many lives have been saved, and many efforts and sacrifices have been made, we must admit that we as the pro-life movement have largely failed during the last 40-plus years.
Hewes said that abortion continues to be the law of the land “even though the pro-life position is morally and scientifically right; and it is also the case despite the fact that the majority of Americans are opposed to abortion on demand.
“Bottom line is that we have failed to educate the public effectively. We have also failed to raise the necessary money to win this fight.”
Hewes is already on the primary ballot in several states like New Hampshire, Louisiana, Missouri, Arizona, and even Puerto Rico — to name a few. Hewes knows his chances are slim, but still seeks to get a piece of the votes that otherwise would go to the third-place Democratic candidate Martin O’Malley.
The key is to put out some powerful pro-life ads as part of his presidential run and hopefully get some national pro-life organizations and prominent leaders to support Hewes’ efforts, particularly in helping to raise funds for the ads.
Hewes is absolutely one hundred percent correct when he states that the pro-life movement has failed to raise the necessary money to win.
It takes money to win battles and to win a war. Planned Parenthood has a tremendous financial advantage, especially given that our own tax dollars are being awarded to them by a corrupt government that peddles, promotes, and perpetuates a culture of death.
We mustn’t, however, just throw our hands up and complain. We need to put our money where our mouths are and step up our game financially. We mustn’t get stuck in the rut of the old “the grass is greener on the other side” mentality. We need to water our own lawn and maintain it financially evergreen until we end abortion.
Hewes also believes that “we have failed to manage the political process in Washington, D.C.”
This is true. We must demand an end to the systemic killing of innocent preborn children, instead of continuing to accept empty symbolic gestures and policies from do-nothing politicians who like to label themselves pro-life for their own political gains.
Even in Texas this past week, a grand jury which was supposed to investigate Planned Parenthood for selling baby parts instead has now indicted whistleblowers David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt. And this is a result of our inability to make the necessary changes in government at all levels to stop these ongoing injustices.
I agree with Hewes that it’s time to reboot the pro-life movement and start again: “We must commit ourselves to assembling the human and material resources necessary to get Congress to pass a resolution every year stating unequivocally that life begins at conception and that the unborn child is indeed a person.”
Hewes added: “We must move beyond the paradigm of balkanized organizational politics and personalities. We must move toward a world of practical politics and unity that can turn the tide once and for all.”
After months of watching the political three-ring circus of the 2016 presidential race, meeting Hewes was a breath of fresh air. Any pro-life organization interested in helping promote and support the Hewes campaign would be wise to do so, in order to get his pro-life ads on as many television screens across America.
Indeed, we have an opportunity as a Christians and as a pro-life movement to not only think outside the box, but to act outside the box and break free from the constraints that has put this movement in a dangerously complacent spot.

World wide web collective MSCHF claims it is not infringing on Nike’s trademark with a pair of special, blood-infused “Satan Sneakers,” environment the stage for a greater legal struggle.
Just after filing a lawsuit before this 7 days, Nike sought a short-term restraining order to bar MSCHF from fulfilling any orders of its Satan Footwear — a $1,018 Nike sneaker embellished with a pentagram and allegedly injected with ink and a single drop of blood. But in a response submitted yesterday, MSCHF states all but a single pair of the footwear, a 666 pair collaboration with rapper Lil Nas X, have by now delivered.
“Contrary to Nike’s speculation in its papers, all but a person pair of the footwear currently have been offered and delivered. MSCHF has no intention of issuing further Satan Shoes,” MSCHF’s attorneys wrote in a response to the Nike match. The collective suggests it planned to give absent the last pair on April 2nd, but it’s suspended that plan owing to the lawsuit.
Nike claimed that MSCHF offered its sneakers employing Nike branding but modified them in approaches that tarnish Nike’s manufacturer. It cited internet commenters who believed the footwear ended up formal products and solutions. But MSCHF argues that purchasers knew Nike hadn’t created the Satan Shoes. It also accuses Nike of singling out the Satan Shoe while ignoring a equivalent 2019 “Jesus Shoe.” In a footnote to a court docket submitting, Nike suggests it may well amend the go well with to include things like Jesus Shoes, but it is not focusing on them for the reason that they are not currently being sold at this time.
MSCHF argues that due to the fact “there will be no even more distribution of Satan Shoes” for now, Nike won’t endure damage that would require a restraining order.
Much more commonly, MSCHF claims the shoes are is effective of creative social commentary — equivalent to signed Banksy prints. “These sneakers are functions of artwork that are supposed to criticize the at any time well-known ‘collab society,’ where by manufacturers like Nike collaborate with everyone prepared to make a splash,” its response says. They were being offered in partnership with Lil Nas X, but they ended up also “portrayed as a collaboration with Satan himself (a remark on the extreme collab culture).”
In the submitting, MSCHF in essence admits that the Satan Footwear had been far more of a a single-off stunt than a whole-fledged industrial product or service. But if the two parties go to courtroom, they could set a authorized precedent for the total vogue planet, particularly on the net sellers who “upcycle” or seriously modify designer garments.

Relationship between photochemical mechanisms and chiral molecules
I'm way outside my realm of knowledge here so perhaps I need some help polishing my question or the concepts behind it. Thank you for your patience.
Does the orientation of circularly polarized light (CPL) as a reaction mechanism influence the chirality of the molecule in a general manner, such as left handed circularly polarized light creates levorotatory molecules? More importantly, does CPL influence the optical activity in a similarly consistent manner?
L/D chiral conventions are based on nomenclature rules and therefore I suspect any influence would be coincidental. How would I Google or go about collecting data for my question?
|Mar15-13, 06:30 PM||#2|
I do know that starting in the 1970s if not earlier many observations have been made of chirally asymetric photochemical reactions promoted by circularly polarised light, though as far as I know the effects have always been quite small.
More often than not the work is done with origin of life very much in mind.
|Mar22-13, 09:26 PM||#3|
Thanks for the response. The relationship light has with life has been on my mind recently.

Franklin Graham, the prominent evangelical leader, is among those saluting the town of Ocean Grove, New Jersey after they pushed back against LGBT bullies.
Ocean Grove was established more than 150 years ago by Methodist ministers and other Christians as a place for summertime camp meetings. The town’s nickname is “God’s square mile.”
It’s beloved pier was destroyed during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. And after years of fundraising, the newly rebuilt $2 million pier is set to open today.
But the pier’s design has apparently triggered a bunch of atheists, gay rights activists and other godless heathen liberals.
Presbyterian Pastor Douglas Grote, likened the design to “Christian bullying.”
“I fear that my faith’s lovely cross may soon become as toxic as a Trojan horse for Ocean Grove, Asbury Park, and all of New Jersey,” he wrote in a nasty op-ed. “I am so deeply concerned. And I am so concerned from my neighbors who are scared and bullied.”
Yes, good readers, the cross-shaped pier has apparently triggered LGBT activists.
“Ocean Grove is a diverse community including LGBTQ residents and people of various religious affiliations, who are never asked for input about the OGCMA projects that impact all of us,” two local residents told the New York Post. “The problem is not solely the pier in the shape of the cross, but the total lack of regard for their tenants.”
Attorney Shane Martins told Patch.com he was going to ask the ACLU to look in to the legality of cross-shaped pier.
“This is Christian nationalism,” Martins said. “We are not a Christian nation; we are a nation that has many Christians in it.”
Now, most towns would have already waved the white flag and destroyed the pier. But the good Christian people of Ocean Grove stood their ground.
“We make no apology for that we love the fact that it looks like a cross,” Camp Meeting Association COO Jamie Jackson told News 12. “This is a religious town founded as such in Ocean Grove and most people are excited.”
Michael Badger, the president of the Camp Meeting Association, said even though they own the pier it will be open to the general public.
“The Christian interpretation of the cross is that it is a symbol of God’s love and forgiveness. It is disappointing that anyone would seek to block a sacred symbol on private property from public view regardless of whether you interpret the shape as a pier, a plus sign, or cross,” he said.
Graham praised the town for standing on the promises of God and the United States Constitution.
“What a great landmark for their town,” Graham wrote on Facebook. “They said they wanted to build the best pier possible, and that’s what they did.”
“Michael Badger who headed the project said that the cross should still be ‘part of the American fabric’—and he’s right. He said ‘We can’t hide our faith. It’s something we live out day to day.’ I congratulate them on a job well done and their bold witness,” Graham added.
As I wrote in my book, “Culture Jihad: How to Stop the Left From Killing a Nation,” it is imperative that people of faith stand up to bullies. We must boldly proclaim our rights under the Constitution. We must be Happy Warriors. Click here to read my book.

What made you want to compete for the first time?
My first competition was spring of 2015. I am a Physical Therapist and previous athlete so I have always tried living a healthy lifestyle. My best friend and I had been working out at the gym trying different programs for a while and wanted a challenge. We knew other athletes/competitors and researched the sport. After researching prep coaches we decided we had to join Autumn’s team. Little did we know this was the beginning of a new exciting/scary/challenging journey in our lives.
What has been your greatest challenge?
Although the whole prep process is by far a challenge, I found the biggest challenge was post show. No matter how many people warn you, you will never be prepared for the physical and mental battles following a show. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle following a show while also treating yourself was a challenge. Holding yourself accountable for the long term goals vs. short term satisfaction becomes the main focus.
What did you wish that you knew before you had started this journey?
“Trust the process”. This took time to learn. This is one phrase I had to repeat to myself consistently. When you find a coach educated in the process and puts your health as a priority the end result will be surprising. We all look for instant gratification and want to see results on a daily basis, but it is a long steady process. Part of this long steady process is also off season training. I do not think I initially realized how important this would be going into the sport.
What have you learned from your experience with competing?
“Find joy in the journey”. This is something my friend and I have stuck to since our first competition. No matter how stressful the prep, no matter what place you took on stage, or how long it is taking to reach your goal find pleasure in the process. It is not always about the end result. It is about what you learn and the person you become through/despite it all.
What advice would give to someone who is considering competing?
110%. Think back on a time you gave your absolute 100%... then add a little more. This is what it takes to be committed to this process. At times it will seem damn near impossible to get out of bed to do your cardio, to add more weight during your next set, to spend an hour at posing class in 5 inch heels when you can hardly hold your eyes open, to eat another meal that includes asparagus …then you do it. You push yourself to new limits and challenges and when you succeed THAT is the most empowering feeling you will ever have. This process will change you whether you wanted it to or not. It’s up to you to take it and make it a positive change.
Tell about your support system!
Sports such as this one test relationships no matter how strong. I was blessed with an amazing supportive husband that cheered me on and kicked by butt when I needed it. He was there to play “eye of the tiger” when I got out of bed for my first workout of the day at 4am, shove Tupperware containers of food in his pocket to get into events, and deal with Hangry Erin. I was also lucky enough to start this journey with my best friend. She competed with me the first 2 years. We grew even closer sharing this amazing experience and created a bond unlike any other friendship I have ever had. I have met other amazing athletes in this process and I am amazed at the support and encouragement from each and every one of them. I have also had amazing support from family and friends even if they do not understand the process or do not share the same goals.
What is your next goal?
I always want to strive towards new goals, but I also have to set a goal to step back and appreciate what is and how far I have come. I will continue to strive towards becoming a healthier me physically and mentally. I am educating myself in other areas of exercise such as yoga for overall improved health and stress relief. I also enjoy gaining more knowledge on the nutritional aspect of living a healthy lifestyle. As far as competing, I never want to force that goal because I want it to remain a hobby I enjoy throughout the whole process. I do not have a specific date or competition I am currently set on.

This event is free and open to the public and will take place at the bookshop.
Madeline Miller will read from and sign her new novel, Circe.
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child--not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power--the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.
Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.
But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.
With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.
Places in the signing line are reserved for those who purchase a copy of Circe from The King's English.
GET YOUR COPY NOW! Pre-order your signed copy of Circe today, by either calling the store at 801-484-9100 or ordering online. Please specify if you will be attending the event and if you want your book personalized.

INTERESTING ENGINEERING – Peanut allergies are a type of food intolerance that can cause serious and potentially life-threatening reactions.
They tend to occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies proteins in peanuts as harmful, triggering an allergic attack.
Peanuts are one of the most common food allergens, and peanut allergies tend to persist into adulthood more frequently than allergies to other foods. Peanut allergies are common, particularly in Western countries.
The prevalence of peanut allergies appears to be increasing, and it is estimated that about 2.9 percent of the population in the United States suffers from the condition.
One way to treat peanut allergies is through Oral Mucosal Immunotherapy (OMIT), a form of immunotherapy. OMIT aims to desensitize the immune system to specific allergens gradually by specifically targeting the mucous membranes within the mouth.
OMIT involves administering small amounts of an allergen extract to the oral mucosa, a practice that is believed to induce immunological changes, leading to tolerance rather than an allergic response the next time a person encounters the allergen.
Now, scientists have invented a type of toothpaste that uses OMIT to reduce the chances that people with peanut allergies will have a reaction.
“OMIT uses a specially formulated toothpaste to deliver allergenic peanut proteins to areas of the oral cavity,” said allergist William Berger, MD, American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology member and author of the study.
“OMIT as a delivery mechanism for peanut protein has great potential for food allergy desensitization. Due to its targeted delivery and simple administration, it supports the goal of improved adherence.”
The researchers followed 32 participants with peanut allergies between the ages of 18 and 55. Two-thirds of the participants were given the peanut toothpaste while the rest were offered a placebo. The dosage of the peanut toothpaste was then gradually increased over the course of the 48-week experiment …

On April 4, the Idaho State Department of Agriculture confirmed a positive case of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) abortion in Bannock County. The 13-year-old Quarter Horse mare aborted her pregnancy on March 26. She was up-to-date on her vaccinations, having received her fifth-month and seventh-month boosters.
The mare is at a private equine training facility in Bannock County. The mare had done no significant traveling in the last six months, but she had been in direct contact with two other horses at her home facility. No respiratory or neurological symptoms have been observed in any of the three horses.
There is no evidence to suggest this case is associated to the EHV-1 positive horse diagnosed on March 28 week in Ada County, Idaho.
