Adele’s performance in honor of the late, legendary George Michael at the 2017 Grammy Awards was a showstopper in all senses, but the tribute came close to turning out rather differently with the addition of a few more pop stars.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich revealed that Michael’s longtime manager Michael Lippman had a vision for the project that included a medley of the late singer’s hits, including “Freedom” and “One More Try,” sung by a slew of stars including Adele, Rihanna, Beyoncé and Grammys 2017 host James Corden. As plans for the show began to form, however, Ehrlich said the “Hello” singer, who’s a major fan of Michael, was entrusted with anchoring the tribute on her own because of “how passionate Adele was,” he added, “and that she had a vision for what she wanted to do with it.”
And so, Beyoncé individually wowed us with a performance verging on a religious experience and Rihanna sipped on a bejeweled flask from the front row, while Adele took on the tribute to Michael, a somber, orchestral rendition of his 1996 hit “Fastlove,” as a chill-inducing solo—after overcoming a minor hiccup at the start in which she abruptly stopped singing, swore and asked to start over.
“I was devastated by that, and my rehearsal—I did have a shaky rehearsal today,” she told reporters afterward. “But I have been working very hard on this tribute for him, every day.”
Of course, Adele didn’t have such a bad night. The singer managed to pick up five Grammys at the ceremony, though she did use her acceptance speech for Song of the Year to apologize for the flub during the tribute.
“I really do apologize for swearing,” Adele said. “George Michael, I love him. He means a lot to me, so I’m really sorry if I offended anyone anywhere.”

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank DBKGn.DE has no plans to give up its global presence, its chief executive said on Wednesday, despite sizeable job cuts to try and revive profitability.
Since taking the helm in April, Christian Sewing has announced plans to cut the lender’s global equities business, as well as U.S. bond trading and its business that serves hedge funds.
Speaking at a banking conference in Frankfurt, Sewing said this should not be seen as a sign of retrenchment.
“Our global ambitions will not be up for debate under my leadership,” he said, adding a raft of political crises around the world made it important that Deutsche Bank supported its customers in their global business.
“I am quite convinced that this global position is just as important for our economy today as it was after the fall of the (Berlin) Wall.”
In times of tension between Europe and the United States, Sewing said he believed it would be “too risky” to leave the role of financing and risk management up to a few non-European banks.
Deutsche Bank is trying to bounce back from three consecutive years of losses and has had a run of negative headlines, including an abrupt management reshuffle, a downgrade by credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s and failing the U.S. Federal Reserve’s stress test.
Sewing said Germany’s largest lender did not have ambitions to return to its status as a world market leader, as it was prior to the global financial crisis.
“It would be wrong to say we wanted to be number 1, 2 or 3. Of course we can’t,” he said. Instead the aim is to keep its top positions in certain businesses, such as payment transactions, euro and dollar clearing, and foreign exchange trading.
For this reason, Deutsche Bank needs to remain active in investment banking, he said.
Sewing’s main aim is to restore profitability at the bank and he said the company needed to make “clear progress” on this in the next 12-18 months.
Sewing said he expected the pressure for banks to consolidate to increase as the sector faces the tougher regulation, digitalization and changes in customer behavior.
“Europe doesn’t need as many banks as possible. It especially needs strong banks,” he said.
He declined to comment on speculation that Deutsche Bank could merge with local rival Commerzbank CBKG.DE.

In today’s world, renewable energy technology is more important than ever. As we strive towards a sustainable future, it’s essential that we explore innovative solutions that can help us achieve our goals. One such solution is swarm robotics.
Swarm robotics involves the use of a large number of small, autonomous machines (known as robots) that work together to achieve a common goal. These miniature machines are highly sophisticated, and can communicate and coordinate with each other to perform a wide range of tasks.
The concept of collective power is at the heart of swarm robotics. By working together in a coordinated manner, these miniature machines can achieve feats that would be impossible for a single robot to accomplish. This is particularly relevant in the field of renewable energy technology, where swarm robotics is helping to transform the industry.
From energy harvesting to grid optimization and maintenance, swarm robotics is being used to tackle some of the biggest challenges faced in the renewable energy sector. By harnessing the power of these miniature machines, we can improve the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of renewable energy solutions, and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
In the next sections, we’ll take a closer look at the rise of swarm robotics in renewable energy technology, the advantages it brings to the table, and the future prospects of this exciting technology. Join us as we explore the incredible potential of swarm robotics in revolutionizing the renewable energy industry.
The Rise of Swarm Robotics in Renewable Energy Tech
As renewable energy technology continues to gain momentum, so does the rise of swarm robotics as a viable solution for meeting the increasing energy demands. Swarm robotics refers to the use of multiple, small robots working together towards a common goal, mimicking the behavior of social insects like bees or ants.
Swarm robotics has found numerous applications in renewable energy tech. One such application is energy harvesting, where swarms of robots can be used to collect energy from renewable sources like wind and solar power. The robots work together to collect and store the energy, maximizing efficiency and reducing waste.
Another application of swarm robotics is grid optimization. Swarms of robots can monitor and regulate energy usage in power grids, ensuring that energy is distributed where it is needed most. This helps to improve overall grid efficiency and reduce the risk of blackouts or other disruptions.
Swarm robotics can also be used for maintenance tasks in renewable energy tech. By deploying swarms of robots to inspect and repair equipment, companies can reduce downtime and save on maintenance costs. The robots can work together to quickly identify and fix any issues, minimizing the impact on energy production.
Overall, the rise of swarm robotics in renewable energy tech represents a significant shift in how we approach energy production and distribution. By harnessing the collective power of miniature machines, we can increase efficiency, reduce waste, and ultimately create a more sustainable future.
Advantages of Swarm Robotics for Renewable Energy Tech
As we discussed in the previous section, swarm robotics is a game-changer for renewable energy technology, offering innovative solutions to some of the biggest challenges in the industry. Here are some of the advantages that swarm robotics brings to the table:
Swarm robotics enables increased efficiency in renewable energy technology by allowing for more precise and targeted operations. Miniature machines can work together to perform complex tasks with high accuracy and speed, reducing the need for human intervention and minimizing errors. This not only saves time but also reduces costs and improves overall system performance.
The scalability of swarm robotics is another advantage for renewable energy technology. These small machines can be easily replicated and deployed on a large scale, making them ideal for energy harvesting and maintenance tasks in remote or hard-to-reach locations. This enables more efficient and cost-effective energy solutions, especially in areas with limited resources or infrastructure.
Swarm robotics also offers improved reliability for renewable energy technology. By working together in a collective, these machines can compensate for individual failures or malfunctions, ensuring that operations continue smoothly without interruption. This not only increases system reliability but also reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
Finally, swarm robotics brings adaptability to renewable energy technology. These machines can easily adapt to changing environmental conditions and can be programmed to perform various tasks, including monitoring, maintenance, and repair. This allows for more flexible and responsive energy solutions that can adapt to the evolving needs of the industry.
“Swarm robotics is revolutionizing the renewable energy industry, offering unprecedented efficiency, scalability, reliability, and adaptability. These miniature machines are a critical piece of the puzzle in meeting the world’s growing energy needs.”
Future prospects of Swarm Robotics in Renewable Energy Tech
We are excited about the future prospects of swarm robotics in the renewable energy technology sector. Innovations in this area have the potential to revolutionize the way we generate, distribute, and use energy, making it cleaner, more efficient, and more affordable.
One of the most promising trends in swarm robotics for renewable energy tech is the development of smart microgrids. These networks of decentralized power sources can work together to optimize energy usage and reduce waste. By using swarm robotics to manage and control these systems, we can achieve greater efficiency and stability.
Scientists and engineers are constantly exploring new ways to improve swarm robotics for renewable energy tech. Some of the most exciting breakthroughs include the use of machine learning algorithms to enhance decision-making and the integration of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.
Additionally, there is ongoing research into developing swarm robotics that can be powered by renewable energy sources themselves, such as biomass or biofuels. This would create a completely sustainable system in which the machines are powered by the same energy they are helping to generate.
The road ahead
As the world continues to shift towards renewable energy solutions, the demand for innovative technologies like swarm robotics will only grow. We anticipate exciting developments in this field in the years to come, with new applications and use cases emerging every day.
Ultimately, our goal is to create a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient energy system for all. We believe that swarm robotics will be a crucial tool in achieving this vision.

I love cooking butternut squash with vanilla, cinnamon and maple syrup, so when Rhonda from the Athens Farmers Market unloaded a huge one upon me, I knew exactly what to do. Since I had a pair of wonderful creamy cheeses; Teleggio from Italy and Bellwether Farms Crescenza from Sonoma, I thought I’d make a delicous Turkish-style Pide, (Pee-DAY,) with pancetta, roasted hazelnuts, fresh spinach and some local Cantrell honey. This pide is quite perfect for these cold winter days.
One- twelve to fifteen ounce dough from the Schiacciata dough recipe on this blog.
One ounce or half a handful of fresh whole spinach leaf.
Two and a half ounces of imported Teleggio, (DOP) from Italy.
Five to six ounces of butternut squash. (Recipe below with equal amounts of cinnamon, vanilla and maple syrup with nutmeg and water)
Three and a half ounces, (one thick slice,) of Italian style pancetta. (Bacon is too strong for this recipe.)
One ounce raw hazlenuts or “Filberts” as they are sometimes called.
Three ounces Bellwether Farms Crescenza.
Local Cantrell honey poured on after oven.
For the squash, pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. To render the butternut squash, I usually keep the vegetable peeler on the bench and cut the butternut squash first across to obtain round sections that are two inches high. Put these sections flat on the cutting board and trim the skin off of them. Then cut them into quarters so you can cut the stringy inside off also. These can then be cut again into smaller inch wide chunks.
Place the butternut squash chunks in a bowl and coat with the same amount of honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg and vanilla essence. Add a little hot water and toss in the bowl. Pour the mix on a foil-lined tray and insert into the oven on the middle shelf. Cook until fork tender, tossing occasionally. Take out of the oven, and cool, then slice into small thin squares that will spread nicely on the pizza. Turn the oven up to 495 degrees and place a heavy, upturned cookie sheet or pizza stone on the middle shelf.
Cube the pancetta and the cut the raw hazelnuts with a sharp knife. Cook the pancetta over the stove in a saute’ pan or pot, (as I used here because I couldn’t find a saute’.) Briefly saute’ on medium high heat until partially cooked.
Add the copped hazelnuts to the pot. Toss under the same heat for one minute, then add two tablespoons of water to deglaze the pan. Cook in the pancetta juice for one minute more. Remove and reserve for the pizza.
Using the dough from Schiacciata dough recipe, you will have a 14 ounce dough ball, (I used a 12.5 ounce dough for this recipe.) Place on a piece of parchment and form into an oval. Add the spinach, the Teleggio and the sliced butternut squash.
Then add the pancetta, the hazelnuts and lastly the Crescenza.
Now is time to pull the dough from the middle of the dough disc toward you and work it to the end. Using gentle pressure, pull the dough and twist into a cable-like rope. Next, wrap the dough around your finger and pull the dough through the hole forming a simple knot. (here, I had to be careful becuase the dough was quite sticky but it still held its shape.)
Transfer the parchment with the Pide on it to the oven using another tray to slide it on the stone or cookie tray and cook for at least 15 minutes. This is a large Pide and will take a little more time to cook. Keep an eye on the bottom of the Pide and the outer crust.
Drizzle with honey and serve to an astonished crowd!
Nice, and look at the crumb on this cornicione.

Healthy sleeping habits should be encouraged since there are lots of harmful microbes that we inhale while sleeping. Earlier, weighted blankets were considered just a piece of healing item, mainly when someone was under treatment, but later on, it was discovered that there were multiple advantages. Sick people who used weighted blankets along with bamboo bedsheets were seen to recover earlier. This is why people are curious to know more about the benefits of organic weighted blankets.
The first significant advantage of weighted blankets is that it encourages the building of Melatonin plus serotonin, which are pretty good and considered important natural substances for the human body to help in comfortable and sound sleep. Those who have a hard time falling asleep are likely to fall asleep easier and earlier than usual with organic weighted blankets. Healthy sleep patterns encourage the individual to feel better and fresh when awake.
After a long hectic day at workplaces, we are not only filled with mental stress, but the backaches and physical exhaustion have become quite common. However, weighted blankets have been observed to play an excellent role in relieving physical and mental stress.
Helps Combat Bad Moods
Overpressure results in releasing hormones that lead to unusual mood swings. Since we talked about it above, it increases the production of Serotonin hormones, which is the primary hormone responsible for controlling moods and feelings. The increased production eventually helps you stay away from bad moods and ultimately say bye-bye to the terrible mood swings.
Lowers Cortisol In The Human Body
Cortisol is a hormone that is mainly accountable for stress. Those who can’t sleep due to stress or anxiety can use a weighted blanket to cope with this problem as these blankets reduce the cortisol levels and make you sleep stress-free.
Of course, when you feel physically and mentally relieved plus maintain to have a healthy sleep pattern, eventually your body will be healed, and you will be able to focus better. Children with autism may perform better if you add weighted blankets with bamboo bedsheets in their sleep routines since bamboo bedsheets are also suitable for safe and sound naps.
Comforts You In Travels
Sleeping in hotels or other places apart from home can be very uncomfortable for some people. Such people can consider organic weighted blankets as their rescue since they are non-toxic, reduce pressure, and calm your body from daily worries. This can assist you to have a good and healthy sleeping time anywhere, no matter if you are away from your home and sleeping in a camp during your travel trips with buddies.
People are unaware that how much sleeping with a non-toxic blanket can significantly impact their physical and mental health. Although there are numerous benefits of the weighted blanket, we have highlighted the major ones. Let us know in the comment section how a weighted blanket helped you in your sleeping routines.

Huh. Is that "Stand" canon? (ie, the earlier introduction of paper)? I ask because... that's kind of a non-issue. The reduction in power of the Catholic Church occurred in no small part because of the rise of humanism during the Renisiance, which in turn was powered by a number of social and economic forces.
And yes, one of which was the relatively cheap ability to produce written works. Another major influence was a series of plagues in the 1300's which killed off a number of folks, which left a huge amount of money floating around to be invested, and also made it necessary to write techniques down instead of teaching them to a student. Another was the rising literacy rates in the middle class, due to the rise of the university system, as well as Cathedral/Parish/private/public schools that were feeding into them. (Which, in turn, were caused by the increasingly-large national government's need to have administrators who knew how to read, and for the Church to have literate priests.)
However, the cost of a paper versus vellum was only a small part of the cost of book-making. The vast majority of the cost comes from the fact that they are hand-written, and thus labor-intensive. Paper was already used in the 1200's, for example, during the rise of the Medieval university system - college students used them to take notes and make personal copies of their own books. It was a cheaper alternative to vellum, but wasn't considered as high a quality. Paper itself was well-known in the near-east, and was what Islamic scholars had been using for hundreds of years.
In contrast, it was the PRINTING PRESS, with the ability to rapidly print out broadsheets, that was the important invention. And previous versions of the press had already existed - it was the improvements in metallurgy and metal-working (Gutenberg was a goldsmith) to make the type fonts, as well as an improved screw-press (which was originally for....grapes, I think) that allowed the printing revolution to be started. And yes, the reduced cost of paper versus vellum was part of that. But by no means a key reason. These inventions occurred mainly because of the economic demand - which wasn't based on the high cost of vellum - it was based on the fact that a hand-copyist could only create a few pages a day.
As such, having cheaper paper wouldn't have kick-started the Renisiance a few centuries earlier. It would have gotten a few more people literate (or more literate then they already were), but there were a number of economic forces that would also have to have been in play in order for that to occur.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press
EDIT - to clarify: the formula for cheap paper wasn't "discovered" by Europe - they already knew how to make it. It took a number of outside economic forces that made it profitable to look for cheaper ways to make books that caused people to look to paper as an alternative to vellum. it's the other way around: cheaper paper didn't cause increases in literacy: rises in literacy caused people to look for ways to make books cheaper.
EDIT II - and the "formula" for cheap paper isn't a formula - you make cheap paper by building a water-powered paper mill. Manual paper mills were already in Spain by 1085 (via Islamic cultural influence), and by 1282 they were setting up an actual water-powered one.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_paperhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_mill
EDIT III - and I'm pretty sure this wasn't intentional on your part - but I happen to know a decent amount about this particular period of history (via research done for Ars Magica, one of the best historical-based RPG's out there), and the cost of paper was barely even a factor of the many, things that contributed to nonexistent literacy rates amongst the peasantry in the 12th century.
EDIT IV - Hm. Well, in researching the topic a bit more, the consensus seems to be that prior to Gutenberg, (at least in Europe), it was all about woodblocks, which don't do well at all in multiple printings, and are relatively expensive to make. Asian printing technology had bronze castings, but they were dealing with thousands of characters - Lain-based phonetic languages were much better-suited for printing. In contrast, Gutenberg's invention of metal typefonts, as well as a way to inexpensively make them (via his matrix and hand mould), were pretty important. Also, he developed an ink (and an inking process) that worked much better on paper than anything else at the time. And he also figured out the (retroactively obvious) idea that you can separate typesetting from printing - this allows a typesetter to set a page, print it, and then not have to set it again. Instead, they could simply put the block of typefont into storage, which makes re-printing a book relatively trivial. But doing so required that you have lots of cheap fonts, which goes back to the "cheap means of producing the fonts" idea. So it was all of these ideas (some big some small) that came together for Gutenberg.
As such, introducing a cheap way of making paper at an earlier date (to be used in a woodblock press) wouldn't have increased literacy rates (and political activity) among the peasantry. None of the peasants knew how to read, anyway. It was the nobility and middle class that were able to take advantage of the educational opportunities of the middle ages. Therefore, cheaper paper would mainly have allowed the middle class to own their own copies of, say, Plato and Aristotle, or would have made it cheaper to take notes in class. The only peasants that could afford education were the borderline "I'm technically a peasant, but only in name" - and those folks were a pretty darned low percentage. Having cheaper paper wouldn't change that, as the cost of education is for the instructor and the time the children spend away from the fields. It would require the next 400 years of Industrialization and socioeconomic growth that would allow a peasant enough disposable income that they could consistently afford to send their children to school, as well as the changes to culture that would start to support and encourage universal (and inexpensive) primary education.
Which, again, isn't specifically directed at the rest of your story - but it was that detail which pulled me out and said "no, that wouldn't happen." Kind of a bump in the narrative road, as it were.
I appreciate your enthusiasm for the subject. Several movable type printing presses had been built before Guttenberg's machine but they had not caught on due to the relative scarcity of good quality, inexpensive paper. Once that issue was put to rest, the movable type press became a lot more useful. And to answer your initial question; No, this is not canon for The Stand, it is me constructing a reason for the Angel of Divine Vengeance to drop the hammer on an entire world.

Nike stock has outpaced the broader S&P 500 index this year. An analyst at Morgan Stanley thinks the good times will continue.
The back story. Nike stock (ticker: NKE) has gained 26%, compared with the S&P 500 index’s 24% gain. Despite the strong year-to-date performance, Nike shares have been mostly sideways since Oct. 23, when Wall Street began digesting the company’s coming CEO John Donahoe.

From the Infrastructure Australia report Capturing Value:
Over time Australian governments should look to introduce a more consistent approach to value capture. Transitioning to a broad-based land tax – alongside the removal of stamp duty – will eliminate many of the challenges posed by individual measures and provide a permanent, more efficient method of value capture which can help fund the infrastructure Australia needs over coming decades.
And Left uncaptured, this value uplift is enjoyed by the fortunate few who own land close to the hub, despite often having done nothing to earn this windfall gain.
Good to see Infrastructure Australia citing three Prosper Australia reports, including The First Interval, Dr Cameron Murray’s story of the Australian Capital Territory’s encouraging transition from stamp duty to land tax.

If you currently live and have lived in California for the last 180 days or, have a business or property in California, then you will probably be able to file for bankruptcy in California. Additionally, if you have not filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the last 8 years, then you are most likely eligible to file. If you have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the past 8 years you most likely are eligible to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which would allow you to reorganize your debts and keep your property.
Now that you’ve determined if you can file for bankruptcy, then next question to ask is if you should file for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy might be suitable for you if you find yourself with little to no disposable income, or negative disposable income each month. Disposable income is the money you have left over each month after paying your living costs and debts.
Sometimes, events outside of our control can force people into filing for bankruptcy. You may find yourself suffering from an unforeseen event which has either reduced your income each month, or experienced and increase in expenses and/or debt. With the recent COVID-19 / corona virus events you may have experienced a loss of income or increase in your expenses. Examples events that can put pressure on your disposable income include:
If one of these events has put stress on your disposable income, bankruptcy might be a viable option, and would allow you to get a fresh start.
If you’re feeling stressed or helpless regarding your financial situation, you benefit by:
This question is difficult to answer without fully analyzing your income, assets, and debts, but in most cases, you will be able to keep your car and personal belongings. If you’re interested in a free consult to talk about your unique situation, simply fill out the form below.
If you’re already finding yourself behind in your bills or are being hounded by creditors, you might not be able to borrow more money anyways. Bankruptcy can help clear away the ‘dead wood’ of your outstanding debt. This will give you breathing room to re-build your credit. Your credit will NOT be gone or vanish forever. After a few years you’ll have established a much higher credit score.

Welcome to Dunnellon Trail
Designed to capture the look of the former historic railroad bridges that were built here in the late 1800s.
When phosphate was discovered in Dunnellon, it enjoyed its “Boomtown” days that are still celebrated annually.
The 2.4-mile-long paved Dunnellon multi-use trail is sited primarily along a historic railroad bed that runs along the Rainbow River south of CR 484 and the Blue Run Park and tubers take out. Trailheads are located along Bridges Road on the Marion County (north) side of the Withlacoochee River and CR 39 just east of U.S. 41 on the Citrus County (south) side of the paved trail.
Either trailhead provides access to this popular and scenic trail that was opened in May 2015. The focal point is the beautiful views from the Withlacoochee River trail bridge, which connects the two counties together via the trail.
Wading birds, alligators and other wildlife are frequently seen along the trail while people walk, jog, inline skate or bicycle to enjoy the scenery and imagine what the railroad was like on this same ground more than a century ago.

By Danny R. Johnson
LOS ANGELES – The festive sound of 7-Time Grammy® Award winner Herb Alpert’s trumpet is instantly recognizable and always welcome; its effervescence makes you want to get up and dance and puts you in a reflective mood as well. Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass was an anomaly during the mid-sixties. When the British invasion was dominating the radio waves, here comes Los Angeles-raised Alpert with his south-of-the-border sound and hits the charts with a dozen instrumentals.
Herb Alpert’s latest production is a 16-tracks CD titled Steppin’ Out on the SHOUT! FACTORY label with a release date of November 19, 2013; and is loaded with music that has a broad-based appeal to the XYZ generation as well as aged Tijuana Brass fans. The album contains infectious music and Alpert’s trumpet playing is always tasteful, which makes Steppin’ Out so much fun to listen to.
Anyone who expects this album to be a mere exercise in 1960s nostalgia is in for the pleasantest of surprises. Herb Alpert is one amazing performer and musical genius who possesses a rare ability among composers to take even the most familiar of standards and make them sound completely fresh.
In Alpert’s case, it’s often a combination of rethinking an arrangement — coupled with the fact that one may never have heard that particular song played on a trumpet — that combine to make such musical magic. Whether it’s his speeded-up, jazzy takes on the usually moody Puttin’ On The Ritz, a popular song written and published in 1929 by Irving Berlin and introduced by Harry Richman in the musical film Puttin’ on the Ritz (1930); or the normally nostalgic What’ll I Do (a song written by Irving Berlin in 1923. It was introduced by singers Grace Moore and John Steel late in the run of Berlin’s third Music Box Revue and also was included in the following year’s  edition. In the lyrics, the singer questions how he or she will get by now that a recent romance has ended); or the complex riff in the midst of I Only Have Eyes For You (a popular romantic love song by composer Harry Warren and lyricist Al Dubin, written in 1934 for the film Dames where it was introduced by Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler), all of these classic tunes almost sound like they were invented on the spot.
Lani Hall, whose sultry and captivating vocals on I Only Have Eyes For You, begins slowly and she really makes you feel she only has eyes for you. It is remarkable what Hall does with this sensual love song that has the perfect amount of melody, tone and rhythm suited to her extraordinary vocals. She is only briefly featured on the Irving Berlin tune, probably no more than 98 seconds – but Hall, with excellent assistance from Alpert, stripped the song of its typical jauntiness and delivered with tenderness and smoothness that adds an extra dimension to the classic.
Steppin’ Out features Herb Alpert on trumpet and vocals, Lani Hall on vocals, Bill Cantos on keyboards, Michael Shapiro on drums and percussion, Hussain Jiffry on bass, Coco Triuisonno on bandoneon, and Ramon Stagnaro on acoustic guitar. Herb Alpert and Lani Hall produced the bulk of the album, while Puttin’ on the Ritz was produced by Randy “Badazz” Alpert and Herb Alpert.
Also featured on Steppin’ Out is Alpert and Jeff Lorber’s Jacky’s Place, with lyrics by Bill Cantos, featuring vocals by Lani Hall, Art Pepper’s ballad Our Song, the chill Alpert/Lorber/Cantos composition Green Lemonade — Ruben Fuentes Gasson’s original composition Good Morning Mr. Sunshine, from the Tijuana Brass’ 1969 album The Brass Are Coming, the commanding ballad Oblivion, written by Astor Piazzolla, and the Alpert/Lorber/Cantos composition Cote d’Azur. Closing out the album is the 50th Anniversary version of The Lonely Bull, composed by Sol Lake and first released on Alpert’s debut album on A&M Records.
Herb Alpert is a true Renaissance man and known as a world renowned musician, record label co-founder, music producer, composer, arranger, visual artist, Broadway producer and philanthropist. After early success composing Wonderful World with Sam Cooke and Lou Adler, Alpert went on to co-found A&M Records in 1962 with Jerry Moss, which grew from Alpert’s garage in West Hollywood into the largest independent record label in history. Alpert introduced the Tijuana Brass phenomenon with a signature sound that propelled him to global fame. In 1966, when the TJB craze was unstoppable, he achieved the unmatched accomplishment of having 5 albums, at the same time, on Billboard’s Top 20.
Alpert has sold over 75 million records, with 15 certified platinum and 14 gold. Alpert’s many music honors include 7 Grammy® Awards, the prized Trustees Grammy® Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2013 he was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama. He is the only artist to have a #1 record as a singer, This Guy’s in Love with You and as an instrumentalist, Rise in 1979.
Steppin’ Out includes 16 songs, including a contemporary version of Irving Berlin’s Puttin’ On The Ritz, a video for which has just been released. The music has an undeniable charm coupled with an energetic and intricate dance routine choreographed by the Emmy® Award-winning team from So You Think You Can Dance, Napoleon & Tabitha D’umo, creating a magical pied piper-like scene.
The video features musicians Lani Hall, Bill Cantos, Hussain Jiffry, Michael Shapiro and dancer Vincent Noiseux alongside corps dancers like Kherington Payne and others from So You Think You Can Dance USA, America’s Best Dance Crew, Dancing with the Stars, This is It, and Step Up. The video follows the lead dancer in one single seamless camera shot, without any edits, on a musical journey motivating everyone he passes to join the promenade. Napoleon & Tabitha D’umo’s produced dance video can be seen at: www.herbalpertpresents.com.

With more than 10,000 illegal aliens flooding across the border in Del Rio alone, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is deflecting blame towards the federal government.
Over the past week, thousands of aliens—many from Haiti—have began to gather at an international bridge in Del Rio in an attempt to enter the United States. The move is just the latest development in a surge of illegal immigration that has swept the southern border since President Joe Biden took office in January.
On Thursday, Abbott said he would close six points of entry with Mexico, which would have been an extraordinary move.
But just hours later, Abbott reversed his decision, blaming the Biden administration for not cooperating.
“Six hours after U.S. Customs and Border Protection requested help from Texas to close ports of entry and secure the border, the Biden Administration has now flip-flopped to a different strategy that abandons border security and instead makes it easier for people to cross illegally and for cartels to exploit the border,” said Abbott. “The Biden Administration is in complete disarray and is handling the border crisis as badly as the evacuation from Afghanistan. I have directed the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard to maintain their presence at and around ports of entry to deter crossings.”
Meanwhile, Dave Carney—a political consultant and close advisor to Gov. Abbott—took to Twitter to blame members of Congress for not acting, saying they were “the only ones who have the power to act.”
How about members of Congress step up & bring some order the border. Your are the only ones who have the power to act. #DoYourJob Discharge petitions still work
Every voter should demand their members of Congress act now or don’t seek reelection. Posturing is not a solution.
— Dave Carney (@granitewinger) September 17, 2021
The tweet appears to be in response to U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, who said the state should ignore the Biden administration and “take control of the border.”
Shut. It. Down. No choice… ignore whatever Biden team says, and take control of the border. It’s time. https://t.co/LH6qOwR7Qu
— Chip Roy (@chiproytx) September 17, 2021
Despite illegal immigration being an ongoing problem in Texas since Abbott took office in 2015, Abbott has heightened his attention to the issue in recent months, as some of his Republican primary challengers have taken him to task. Former State Sen. Don Hufines says, if elected, he will “act immediately to engage the Texas Military, DPS, and other necessary personnel to secure the border, finish the wall, and shut down the ports of entry to commercial traffic.”
Former Texas GOP Chairman Allen West says, among other border security actions, he will mobilize the “full strength of our Texas National Guard and Texas State Guard” to stop cartel smuggling and trafficking into Texas and end taxpayer-funded perks for illegal immigrants.
Chad Prather, another candidate in the race, has said he will “prioritize hot spot areas,” enforce already existing border security laws, “appoint a Texas Border Commander/Chief to oversee and coordinate protection efforts,” and “not allow sanctuary cities in Texas.”


OAO VNIPIneft Buys AVEVA Software
AVEVA has announced a new contract with OAO VNIPIneft for the supply of AVEVA Engineering software. The new deployment complements VNIPIneft’s existing AVEVA 3D design system by enabling 2D schematic and engineering data to be integrated into the common project information asset.
Alexey Berezhnoy, Deputy Managing Director, VNIPIneft, explained the importance of this contract in increasing the company’s capabilities and deepening the relationship with AVEVA. ‘The number of contracts that VNIPIneft executes has increased dramatically in recent years and we expect this positive trend to continue,’ he said. ‘Maintaining such momentum and expanding capabilities and productivity is essential for the development of every company. For this reason, we are very careful with the technologies we work with and with the choice of the partners who supply it. VNIPIneft’s multi-disciplinary teams of engineers develop engineering information that defines a wide range of project components, such as lines, equipment and valves, together with their key attributes. AVEVA Engineering will enable them to work together more effectively, sharing information while keeping full control over the work for each discipline.’
Dmitry Smeltsov, Sales Manager EPC & Marine, AVEVA Russia & CIS, comments: ‘VNIPIneft is one of AVEVA’s longest established customers in the region and we consider this agreement a very important step in the development of our relationship. Creating, managing and ensuring the quality of a project’s entire engineering information asset can be a challenge if it is not performed effectively from the very beginning. VNIPIneft’s management team fully understands this. AVEVA Engineering enables the control of a huge amount of data across all the disciplines and their engineering, schematic and 3D data. This ensures data consistency and provides a coherent and comprehensive view of project status that allows project managers to effectively monitor work in progress.
‘This represents the most important step in the company’s development in creating a fully Integrated Engineering & Design environment, and will give them significantly increased efficiency and competitive advantage.’

elle plays it close to the vest, from the lower-case moniker to its subtle teaming of French, Italian and California-fresh fare.
There’s an unpretentious yet elegant sense of place at work here, a harmony of the historic Broadway Village confines and the casually graceful atmosphere, service and fare that give elle a quiet yet distinct signature.
Tucson’s only Wine Country Restaurant, it offers not only an extensive selection of wines but also goes to considerable lengths to optimally pair them to a menu that draws a bead on simplicity and classic technique, tweaked with clever, imaginative notes and themes.
We started a recent visit with the Rock Shrimp Ceviche ($10), a great introduction to the subtle power that exemplifies elle at its best, a measured commitment to teaming flavors and textures that mirrors the effort spent in pairing just the right wine to just the right food. The large bowl was generously portioned with medium-shrimp that were cleanly fresh and nicely stiffened by an elegant ceviche. The teaming of cantaloupe and meticulously sectioned ruby red grapefruit and navel oranges took the ceviche’s lime to a new and different place. The lack of overwhelming acidity and spicy heat provided a refreshing, more open canvas with which to savor the sweetness of the shrimp and fruit.
Our other starter, the elle Antipasta ($12.75) was a well-balanced collection of hot coppacola, green peppercorn salami, marinated artichokes, bell peppers and mushrooms, rounded out with three thick slices of house-made mozzarella and goat-cheese stuffed peppadew peppers that were surprisingly sweet and tangy. The mild, dense mozzarella made for a good counterpoint to the salumi, which also included a sultry pile of prosciutto that wasn’t listed on the menu.
The Portuguese Short Ribs ($22) entree has long been a favorite here. A generous serving of two large ribs cut from the bone and served flat, they were sided by mashed red potatoes and braised cabbage. The braised ribs were thick and tender, trimmed to include a good payoff of fatty richness, and had notably enduring notes of cinnamon, mint and red wine, which just as pleasantly accented the potatoes and cabbage.
My companion’s Gnocchi entree ($13.25 for the petite version) initially struck us as anomalously aggressive compared to most of elle’s fare, as the salmon was strikingly pungent and husky to nose and mouth. A few bites into the dish, the supporting cast began to resonate, with a rich, French-evoking meld of red onions, roma tomatoes and roasted pine nuts in a sweet pesto cream sauce catching up with the salmon. While my companion decided the dish was a bit too bold and fishy (we switched entrees), I found myself appreciating the pedal-to-the-metal dose of rich salmon against the pillowy, ethereal gnocchi and sweet sauce to the very last bite.
A nice feature of elle is that petite versions of most of the menu selections are available, even with desserts, a break in prices and portions that I wish more eateries offered.
We finished with petite versions of Warm Gingerbread ($5.50) and Warm Bread Pudding ($5.50). The gingerbread was dense and moist, not bashful with the ginger but not overbearing, topped with a caramel sauce and sided by banana gelato. The bread pudding had an engaging degree of crisp sizzle but was still soft and supple enough to merit true bread-pudding status, unlike other versions that amount to not much more than glorified cinnamon rolls. Served with a delicately rich bourbon cream sauce, this is the one dish we should have ordered full-size rather than the petite version.
The Tagliatella Pasta with House-made Italian Sausage ($17, $12.25 petite) is a no-brainer for fans of elle’s Italian slant, and may be my favorite entree here. Also popular is the Butternut Squash Ravioli ($16.25, $13 petite), served with spinach and sliced mushrooms in a sage brown butter sauce.
While elle may not knock your socks off with bravado and bluster (the salmon gnocchi being the notable exception), it just as impressively slides them off with a smooth, sultry motion in keeping with its soft, stately surroundings.
