There’s no better time than the present! There are so many reasons why we convince ourselves to start a weight loss program in the thick of the ‘get thick’ time of the year. Let’s face it, we have holiday parties, eggnog, and office parties, not to mention our genetic predisposition to lower our metabolism and store fat as the days get shorter.
Even with those temptations, you CAN lose weight over the holidays. Still, we have others who sign up for a weight loss program now only to get year-end pricing and get first-dibs on the January schedule. There’s no shame in waiting, and that’s better than getting reduced results.
When it comes to weight loss a lot of people think of Liposuction. With a typical liposuction weight loss procedure, the patient has to be given anesthesia before the fat is removed from the body. This is an invasive procedure and there can be some pain, discomfort and recovery time from the procedure.
But you do have other options…here are just a couple!
The revolutionary LapexLipo Laser will allow you to have a liposuction treatment for weight loss without any of the same difficulties as a regular liposuction procedure. You can remain awake the whole time and will not feel any pain either during the treatment or after it is over. The LapexLipo Laser is a great way to remove the fat from those stubborn places that exercise and diet just aren’t working.
Unlike other procedures, the Zerona Body Sculpting Treatment allows patients to continue their daily activities without interruptions from surgery, pain, or wounds. The excess fat is passed through the body during its normal course of detoxification.
The Zerona procedure has undergone a double blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo controlled study in which patients averaged a loss of 3.5 inches and some lost up to as much as 9 inches compared to the placebo group that lost only a half an inch.
So what’s the difference between the two?
- Has two lasers and is intended for spot reducing a small and specific 4” to 6” area per laser.
- Lapex helps to shrink small bulges.
- Sessions last 20 minutes on the specific area of treatment.
- Supplements are available for purchase.
- Has five lasers and covers a larger area, generally an 18” to 24” area.
- Use Zerona if you want to lose dress sizes. Zerona keeps your same body shape but makes your body overall smaller.
- Sessions last 40 minutes (20 minutes on the front and 20 minutes on the back).
- Supplements to naturally assist the body with fat removal are included.
So, if you have the willpower to stay true to the plan in the face of imminent temptation, go for it! Otherwise, lock in your Zerona or Lapex LipoLaser appointment and hit January with conviction. Make your appointment today so January will have you looking in the mirror and smiling!
To schedule a Complimentary Consultation just give us a call or schedule an appointment online.

She told me that she was a hair stylist and how special her job was to her, that like me, she loved making women feel beautiful. Another thing I loved was, yes, she wanted to gift this session to someone that stole her heart, but she also wanted to do it for herself, to embrace her younger years, to have something beautiful to look back on when she was (what she now thinks) is her prime.I loved working with this woman and I see her doing big things in her little cowboy boots ;) I dare say her prime is just beginning!

Oh dear, sweet, jealous, angsty Edward. I feel for him, I really do. I hate feeling helpless, and I know he must too. I felt a pang in my heart when he resorted to begging, I really did. At least he gets to make up for it later. ;) And after reading all this, I have to admire his restraint with Jasper. After all, he did *watch.* Bella (and Alice, I suppose) should thank him that all he did was sit on Jasper at Thanksgiving.

In Embassy of Argentina the Malbec Day has been celebrated
The heads of diplomatic missions of Mexico, Belgium, Cuba, the First Deputy Minister of culture of Ukraine Svetlana Fomenko, representatives of restaurant and hotel business, sommeliers, businessmen, social activists, and mass media arrived to enjoy the atmosphere of this holiday and luxury taste of this sophisticated wine.
‘We celebrate International Malbec Day for the seventh time. This event goes round the concept ‘Malbec is the heart of Argentina’. Having turned into the engine for the most courageous innovations, during the last twenty years Malbec brought an impulse to the wine industry of our country’, the Ambassador of Argentina remarked.
He also emphasized that Malbec is not only wine, it is, moreover, wine that encourages work, personality, culture, and development. Each bottle contains the sacred feelings of Argentineans. Every bottle tell about the hands, mastership, and soul of our people. This sort is the reflection of lifestyle, work, technique, originality, and passion.
‘The rich wines are originated from the deepest inclinations of their nations living in their hearts. Malbec is the heart of our wine industry, its plenipotentiary ambassador in the world’, Mr Alonso summarized.
All the guests of the evening were able to know exciting facts about Malbec, take part in tasting wines and sophisticated delicacies, in quizzes and draw games.
As well as every year, the celebration of Malbec Day means jam-packed program which includes conceptual events for consumers, fairs, presentations of sommeliers, tasting sessions and promotional offers in the bars and restaurants of Kyiv and the whole Ukraine.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, author of the U.S. Supreme Court decision to legalize gay marriage across America, slammed the Colorado Civil Rights Commission as “neither tolerant nor respectful.” The Commission’s unfairness landed it in the U.S. Supreme Court and on the front pages of newspapers across the country last year. It is clear that the Justices and the nation expect changes.
Family Research Council Action, which tracks pro-family and pro-life federal legislation, rated Cory Gardner, Ken Buck, Doug Lamborn, and Scott Tipton with a 100% pro-family rating for the first session of the 115th Congress.
It has come to our attention that state legislators are accepting campaign donations from the marijuana industry. As educators and researchers, we hope this is not the case. Marijuana has devastated Colorado by nearly every metric and we are particularly concerned about marijuana’s health impact on youth. Consider the following statistics:
Conservatives believe that the most influential government should be local governments – not bureaucrats thousands of miles away in Washington, D.C. If you’re going to make decisions that affect our lives, you better look us in the eye.
That’s why we take local government so seriously. Because when people are working hard to make their lives better, the difference between success and failure can be a local government’s decision to stand in the way, or get out of the way.
Unfortunately, local government can make bad decisions just like Washington, D.C. bureaucrats can. If conservatives fail to challenge the culture of big government at the local level, these defeats in city halls and county courthouses will send a powerful message to lawmakers and bureaucrats in state legislatures and the nation’s capital. We must first look after our own backyards, even as we champion limited government at the federal and state level.
Therefore, I am opposing the anti-growth ballot measure in Lakewood this fall, and invite other conservatives to join the cause. This measure is bureaucratic in the extreme. It ignores basic economic principles, tramples property rights and promises to drive up taxes and living expenses for working families. It’s more than 4,800 words of red tape that authorizes even more red tape. It’s the opposite of limited government.
Dive into the details and you’ll find the measure caps residential growth at one percent per year. Why one percent? Why not a half percent, or one and a half percent or some other rate? Central planners and social engineers love setting arbitrary goals, but these made-up numbers should ring major alarm bells for everyone else.
Lakewood’s growth is the product of many different factors, including supply and demand for housing, employment opportunities in the region, and case-by-case permitting and zoning decisions by city officials. Imposing top-down, command-and-control limits on residential growth will throw the local economy out of balance, inviting all kinds of unintended consequences.
Consider transportation, for example: If people with jobs in Lakewood can’t afford to live here, how much worse will traffic get when they start commuting longer distances?
Then there’s the matter of enforcement. The one-percent growth cap would be policed with a complex new system of building rights – or “allocations.” Without an allocation, it doesn’t matter if a property owner has a project meeting all the relevant zoning and permitting requirements. Their project, and their right to invest in their own property, will be denied.
In the end, of course, only the biggest property owners and developers can afford the lobbyists and lawyers needed to secure their allocations. Smaller businesses and property owners will be mostly shut out, forced to sell or partner with a handful of large and politically connected players in the real estate market.
This kind of cronyism is inevitable when governments try to ration goods and services. It always results in higher costs for the average consumer. The anti-growth ballot measure in Lakewood is no different.
By artificially restricting residential development, and limiting competition only to firms that can navigate the new allocation system, the ballot measure guarantees supply won’t keep pace with demand. This pressure will drive up property taxes, rents and mortgages to levels that many Lakewood families cannot afford.
As conservatives, we have a responsibility to defeat this ballot measure. But I also see an opportunity to show how the principles of limited government can help working families, seniors and other residents in Lakewood who may be forced out if the ballot measure passes.
Finally, we should recognize this ballot measure for what it really is: A throwback to the discredited “limits to growth” philosophy of the 1970s. That philosophy lives on today in elitist liberal enclaves like San Francisco and Boulder, but it’s wrong for the country. It certainly has no place in Lakewood.
Please, join the fight against the forces of big government in our own backyard and defeat the anti-growth ballot measure in Lakewood.
Proponents of Proposition 106, legalizing doctor-assisted suicide, claim the law has worked well in Oregon and other states. It’s simply not true. If proponents told the truth, Proposition 106 would go down in flames. Here’s the truth, legalizing doctor-assisted suicide opens the door for insurance companies and the government to get involved with everyone’s end-of-life decisions.

The present invention relates to a cellular wireless unit and particularly to a technique for preventing the deterioration of antenna characteristics in the folding-type cellphones.
With the development of wireless communications technologies, significant progress has been made in the field of cellphones. The currently most popular type of cellphones are those of the so-called folding type that consist of two casings that can be rotated relative to each other and folded via a hinge in a direction such that the display unit and the input unit can be faced with each other. As compared with the initially employed straight type, the folding cellphones are foldable into a compact shape such that they can be easily carried around when not in use. This structure is very convenient as it allows the use of a large screen on the display unit for communications (see Patent Document 1, for example).
Patent Document 1: JP Patent Publication (Laid-Open) No. 06-037697 A (1994)
In the cellular wireless units, antenna current flows not only through the antenna main body but also through the casing. As a result, antenna characteristics vary greatly depending on the length of the casing even when the antenna main body used is the same. In the case of the conventional straight-type cellphones, the length of the casing changed little from one type of unit to another, and so the antenna characteristics could be easily optimized beforehand. Furthermore, there was no change in the length of the casing between when not in use (during standby) and when in use (during a call), and so there has been no need to consider the change in the length of the casing.
In such folding cellphones, while casings with a variety of lengths can be designed, antenna characteristics also vary depending on the length of the casing. In addition, the considerable change in the length of the casing between when not in use and when in use makes it difficult to optimize the antenna characteristics.
It is an object of the invention to provide a technique for adjusting antenna characteristics to appropriate values in folding cellphones.
In a cellular wireless unit of the clamshell type consisting of two casings, a connecting conductor is disposed in each casing so that the electric length of the casing can be adjusted by controlling the capacitance of the connecting conductor, thereby preventing the reduction of antenna efficiency.
In one aspect, the invention provides a folding cellphone comprising a first casing containing a first circuit member, a second casing containing a second circuit member, an antenna disposed at one end of the first casing, and a hinge portion via which the other end of the first casing and one end of the second casing are connected such that the first casing and the second casing can be rotated relative to each other in a hinged manner. The folding cellphone further comprises: a first connecting conductor connected to the first circuit member at the other end thereof, and a second connecting conductor connected to the second circuit member at the one end thereof. The first connecting conductor and the second connecting conductor are disposed at least partly opposite to each other at a certain interval.
For example, the antenna characteristics can be improved by optimizing the casing length formed by the first casing and the second casing (i.e., by bringing it closer to λ/4) through the capacitance formed by the first and second connecting conductors.
A magnetic member may be disposed in proximity to the electric connecting means between the first circuit member and the second circuit member.
By disposing a magnetic member in proximity to the connecting means, the inductive property formed by the connecting means can be enhanced, and the frequency characteristics of the electric length of the first and second casings, which is determined by the capacitance formed by the first and second connecting conductors, can be widened. In this way, wider-band antenna characteristics can be obtained.
Preferably, the first and second opposing portions are disposed such that a direction normal thereto is substantially parallel to the direction in which the hinge portion extends. They also preferably include a ring-shape portion or a part thereof having an opening in which a pin constituting the hinge portion is inserted.
By forming the first and second connecting conductors as ring-shape conductors, it becomes possible to dispose the axle of the hinge within the ring-shape portion so that the connecting conductors can be fixedly disposed and the variations in capacitance can be reduced.
Preferably, the first and the second connecting conductors include a first and a second opposing portion that are disposed opposite to each other at the hinge portion. Preferably, an insulator is disposed between the first opposing portion and the second opposing portion.
The first and the second connecting conductors may be disposed at both ends of the hinge portion. The connecting conductors may be opposed to each other at different intervals at the ends. The connecting conductors may be opposed to each other with different areas at the ends.
By disposing the first and second connecting conductors at both ends of the hinge portion, a left-right symmetrical distribution can be obtained in the current that flows through the first and second casings (circuit members), whereby good antenna characteristics can be obtained stably. The state of connection between the first and second casings tends to become asymmetric in the left-right direction due to the connecting flexible substrate or coaxial cables, resulting in the presence of null in the band. Such imbalance can be cancelled by varying the capacitance between the first and second connecting conductors at the left and right ends of the hinge portion.
The opposing area of the opposing portions may be changed depending on the positional relationship between the first casing and the second casing. For example, when the unit is opened, good characteristics can be obtained by connecting the first and second casings through the capacitance between the first and second connecting conductors. When the unit is closed, the connection between the first casing and the second casing can be reduced (through a reduction of the capacitance thereof) so as to reduce the influence of the second casing as it comes near the antenna (i.e., the ground condition of the second casing with respect to the antenna can be reduced).
By adjusting the length of the casing when in use and thereby bringing the effective casing length relative to the antenna closer to λ/4, good antenna characteristics (efficiency) can be maintained. Further, by optimizing the effective casing depending on the mode of use, the drop in antenna efficiency can be prevented both during a call and during standby.
In the following, a cellphone according to embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in
As shown in
The first circuit member 15 a and the second circuit member 15 b are electrically connected by a connecting flexible substrate 17. Thus, the operation of the unit is not interfered when the first casing 10 a and the second casing 10 b are rotated around the hinge portion 21 as their rotational axis, relative to each other.
The antenna 111 is mounted at the upper edge of the first casing 10 a. The antenna characteristics, which greatly depend on the effective length of the casing (the first casing 10 a and the second casing 10 b) relative to the antenna 111, need to be carefully considered. In the cellphone 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in
As shown in
In this structure, the drop in antenna efficiency can be prevented by adjusting the electric length of the casing to λ/4 with respect to the antenna 111. The effective casing of the folding cellphone, which varies depending on the type of the device or the mode of use, can be adjusted to an appropriate value by means of the above-described opposing structures. The effective casing can be adjusted freely to a certain extent by the distance between the opposing structures and the dielectric constant of the insulator inserted between them.
As described above, by adjusting the effective antenna adjustment portion between the first and the second casing, which depends on the length of the casing, so that the antenna length equals λ/4, the efficiency in the operating frequency band can be improved with a simple structure. It is noted that an advantage can be obtained that, when the capacitance is adjusted using the insulator, the hinged rotational motion of the cellphone is not interfered because of the provision of the opening through which a pin can be inserted.
The adjusting capacitance (insulator) may be provided to either the first and the second connecting conductors 23 a and 25 a, which are provided on one side, or the first and the second connecting conductors 23 b and 25 b, which are provided on the other side, or both.
In the following, a first variation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
Hereafter a second variation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
Hereafter a third variation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in
Thus, in accordance with the cellphone of the foregoing embodiment, the capacitance adjusting mechanism provided at the hinge allows the effective casing to be adjusted in a direction that prevents the drop of antenna efficiency, without interfering with the use of the folding cellphone. Furthermore, the capacitance can be adjusted depending on the mode of use in terms of folding, so that the drop of efficiency can be advantageously prevented regardless of the condition of use.

On a chilly March night in Cambridge, Massachusetts a storm of good ol’ southern rock n’ roll, aptly named the “Stagecoach Spotlight Nikki Lane Highway Queen Tour,” blew into The Sinclair directly from the south bringing with it some of the most talented musicians that side of the Mason-Dixon line. The crowd was treated to three stellar acts, each bringing enough charm and style to light up the stage for a few hours and make us forget we were still in winter’s grasp.
First up was Dallas, TX musician Jonathan Tyler. Armed with only a guitar he quickly got to work setting up the night with songs from his fantastic collection of albums, including the latest release Holy Smokes, which came out in 2015. It’s usually tough to quite a Boston crowd on a Friday night but Tyler’s storytelling and song and quick wit soothed the audience to a point where you could hear a pin drop. It did not go unnoticed by the Texas troubadour. It was a fantastic set.
Next up was Georgia born/Nashville-based singer-songwriter Brent Cobb. Backed with an amazing band the crew got the boots stompin’ as he tore into songs from his collection, including the major-label debut album, Shine On Rainy Day, released in October of 2016. It is easy to see that Cobb has been a musician pretty much all of his life. He talked of playing in his dad’s band as a young boy and sung one of the songs his father had written many years ago. Cobb has penned many a number for some big name country artists, and has toured the world with a few of them, and now the genre’s spotlight is aimed in his direction. Given the strength of his performance this evening he’s going to handle it well.
The boys who took the stage before Ms. Lane knew it was her night and continuously reminded us what a great time we were going to have. Now we were already having a great time, but as southern gentlemen often do they held the door open wide for the highway queen herself to take the stage. When she did it was to thunderous applause. We have been lucky enough to have her visit the Boston area quite a few times, and now with her critically acclaimed third album, Highway Queen, just released it seems all of Massachusetts music fans have finally been wrangled up by Lane’s lasso.
Kicking right into the title-track from her new release the audience cheered and sang along putting a big ol’ grin on the Nashville musician’s face. The set-list changed direction a few times as requests were yelled out and Lane changed her mind a few time on what to play next, but it consisted of many sing-along numbers from each of her three albums including everyone’s favorite flip-off song from All or Nuthin‘, “Man Up,” with all middle fingers raised high, and “Gone, Gone, Gone,” from her debut Walk of Shame. The band left the stage for a moment and she performed two songs solo before being joined on stage by the night’s opener (and Lane’s boyfriend) Jonathan Tyler for a touching duet, “To Love is To Fly,” from Tyler’s album Holy Smokes. The night ended with the entire “Spotlight” gang on stage for the song of the night, sending us all back out to the cold without a care in the world.
Needless to say we had a great time! Check out the fantastic images from the evening taken by our very own Jamie Reiley.


Saudi Arabia which has one-fifth of the world’s proven oil reserves and maintains the world’s largest oil production capacity of 9.9 million barrels a day, may proceed with further underwater oil-drilling in the western province if seismic data supports the plan. Saudi Arabia’s output rose remarkably in November to 10.047 million barrels a day—the highest level in three decades— amid recent efforts by some countries to shift to crude from the kingdom ahead of toughening sanctions on Iran. The sanctions have been imposed on Tehran over its contested nuclear program. The Arab world’s leading economy exported 7.704 million barrels a day in March, up from 7.485 million barrels in February, according to a Joint Organization Data figures. However, residence of the western region of Saudi Arabia may not be familiar with the rich massive wells, oil rigs and processing plants located across the country’s oil fields. The majority of oil produced in the eastern region is loaded onto tankers and exported to the western province through an “East-West” pipeline that makes its way to Europe via the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. A large quantity also runs into the petrochemicals facilities in the industrial hub of Yanbu, in Saudi’s western province. Until recently, the western province had not been seen as a potential hydrocarbon hub offshore, but began to be recognized as one after Egypt made significant discoveries on its eastern coast, with about 8 billion barrels of proven reserves in its waters. Additionally, the state oil company Saudi Aramco has several exploration findings in the western province dating back to the early 1990s when two small onshore discoveries were made. “At that point we did a lot of geology, we knew there were good prospects but better offshore than onshore,” Sadad al-Husseini, a former executive vice president for upstream operations at Saudi Aramco told the National on Sunday. Saudi Arabia has estimated reserves of 267 billion barrels, still Saudi Aramco is constantly looking to apply more accurate seismic method before drilling a well. Aramco started surveying in the Red Sea in 2009, and now is going through a seismic data review for three years to analyze these findings. Aramco has not released any estimates on the hydrocarbon potential in the Red Sea but its current studies have revealed a speculation that reserves under the seabed could contain as much as 50 billion barrels, which could eventually increase the kingdom’s reserves by another 18 per cent. “I presume they got enough encouraging results from the surveys to allow them to plan for the drilling program,” said al-Husseini. “There has been a lot of drilling in the Red Sea and a lot of dry holes. There is no easy oil or assurance of finding oil and gas reserves,” he added. Still, exploration and producing in deep water remains a new challenge for the company as projects in the Red Sea venture requires a specialized expertise and resources to be applied in these projects. Production techniques will eventually depend on the findings. If results show a significant reservoir of crude oil, a floating rig will be used to explore a seabed as deep as 1,000 meters underwater. But in case the liquid fraction contains large quantity of associated gas, treating facilities would be needed to separate oil from gas. Meanwhile, any oil discoveries would not necessary have any immediate impact on production levels, which are already governed by OPEC in accordance with market requirements and agreements. A new gas discovery, on the other hand, would present another story. Saudi Arabia holds the world’s fourth-largest reserves of natural gas, and there have been many ambitious attempts to increase its production by a third in five years. Gas discovery in the red sea could potentially be a catalyst for large scale natural gas developments in Saudi Arabia, and would eventually motivate Aramco to seriously consider drilling operations in the western province.

He is also the Grandfather of musician Theo Croker.
Doc Cheatham was born in Nashville, Tennessee of African, Cherokee, and Choctaw heritage.
He noted there was no jazz music there in his youth; like many in the United States, he was introduced to the style by early recordings and touring groups at the end of the 1910s.
He abandoned his family’s plans for him to be a pharmacist (although retaining the medically inspired nickname “Doc”) to play music, initially playing soprano and tenor saxophone in addition to trumpet in Nashville’s African American Vaudeville theater.
Cheatham later toured in-band accompanying blues singers on the Theater Owners Booking Association circuit.
His early jazz influences included Henry Busse and Johnny Dunn, but when he moved to Chicago in 1924 he heard King Oliver.
Oliver’s playing was a revelation to Cheatham. Cheatham followed the jazz King around. Oliver gave young Cheatham a mute which Cheatham treasured and performed with for the rest of his career.
A further revelation came the following year when Louis Armstrong returned to Chicago. Armstrong would be a lifelong influence on Cheatham, describing him as “an ordinary-extraordinary man.”
Working with the name brands
Cheatham played in Albert Wynn’s band (and occasionally substituted for Armstrong at the Vendome Theater), and recorded on sax with Ma Rainey before moving to Philadelphia in 1927, where he worked with the bands of Bobby Lee and Wilbur de Paris before moving to New York City the following year.
After a short stint with Chick Webb, he left to tour Europe with Sam Wooding’s band.
Cheatham returned to the United States in 1930 and played with Marion Handy and McKinney’s Cotton Pickers before landing a job with Cab Calloway. Cheatham was Calloway’s lead trumpeter from 1932 through 1939.
According to a personal discussion with Doc Cheatham, he studied with Max Schlossberg for 6 months in 1931. “I approached the topic, at Sweet Basil’s, because his tone was like Schlossberg’s; I had heard Schlossberg, my grand uncle, play once, at home, in 1936.” [Norman M. Canter, M.D.]
He performed with Benny Carter, Teddy Wilson, Fletcher Henderson, and Claude Hopkins in the 1940s; after World War II he started working regularly with Latin bands in New York City, including the bands of Perez Prado, Marcelino Guerra, Ricardo Ray (on whose catchy, the hook-laden album “Jala, Jala Boogaloo, Volume II”, he played exquisitely (but uncredited), particularly on the track “Mr. Trumpet Man”), Machito, and others.
The first time Cheatham joined Machito’s band, he was fired because he couldn’t cope with clave rhythm.
Cheatham eventually got the hang of it though. In addition to continuing Latin gigs, he played again with Wilbur de Paris and Sammy Price. He led his own band on Broadway for five years starting in 1960, after which he toured with Benny Goodman.
In 1959, the U.S. State Department-funded a trip for bandleader Herbie Mann to visit Africa, after they heard his version of “African Suite”.
The grueling 14-week tour took place between 12/31/1959 to 4/5/1960. Personnel: Herbie Mann, Bandleader, flute and sax. Johnny Rae, vibist and arranger.
Don Payne, bass Doc Cheatham, trumpet Jimmy Knepper, trombone Patato Valdez, conguero Jose Mangual, bongos. Destinations listed on the official itinerary: Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Mozambique, Rhodesia, Tanganyika, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia.
In the 1970s, Doc Cheatham made a vigorous self-assessment to improve his playing, including taping himself and critically listening to the recordings, then endeavoring to eliminate all clichés from his playing. The discipline paid off, and Doc received ever-improving critical attention.
His singing career began almost by accident in a Paris recording studio on 2 May 1977. As a level and microphone check at the start of a recording session with Sammy Price’s band, Cheatham sang and scatted his way through a couple of choruses of “What Can I Say Dear After I Say I’m Sorry”.
The miking happened to be good from the start and the tape machine was already rolling, and the track was issued on the LP Doc Cheatham: Good for What Ails You.
His singing was well received and Cheatham continued to sing in addition to play music for the rest of his career.
Cheatham toured widely in addition to his regular Sunday gig leading the band at Sweet Basil in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village in his final decade. During one of his frequent trips to New Orleans, Louisiana, he met and befriended young trumpet virtuoso, Nicholas Payton.
In 1996 the two trumpeters and pianist Butch Thompson recorded a CD for Verve Records, Doc Cheatham and Nicholas Payton.
The Recording Academy nominated Cheatham for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo and Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual or Group.
In 1998, Doc received a Grammy posthumously for Best Jazz Solo for “Stardust” on his CD, Doc Cheatham and Nicholas Payton. His wife Amanda and daughter Alicia accepted the Grammy on his behalf.

VARIAL & NADJARI
Cedric Houin, 33, Aka Varial, and Fabrice Nadjari, 34, met in a Paris elementary school. Inseparable until the age of ten, they fell out of touch when they changed schools. Twenty-three years later, they met again by chance through mutual friends and social networks.
The Wakhan Journey is a documentary art project by photographers and friends Fabrice Nadjari and Cedric Houin, together known as Varial and Nadjari. Last year, the two embarked on a journey across the mountainous passage between Afghanistan and China known as the Wakhan Corridor, traveling the 300 plus kilometers on foot. Conducted through photos, videos and installations, The Wakhan Project is the photographers’ homage to this remote corridor, its cultures and inhabitants.
THE BEAVOUIR COLLECTION


For all those who think that Activity-Based Working is just a buzzword and will soon fade out, let us take you back to 1996 when this term was first coined by Erik Veldhoen. In his book, ‘’The demise of the Office”, he mentioned that workplaces need to become smarter and start embracing change. And a crucial factor in accomplishing flexible activity-based working experience is smart storage. In this blog, we speak about what ABW stands for and how smart locker solutions make or break this strategy!
What is Activity-Based Working?
The traditional workplace model says that employees need to come to the office every day and work from an assigned seat and desk, no matter what! But this style of working is quickly starting to erode as employees today look for more autonomy, flexibility, and agility in their workplaces.
Activity-Based working means enabling employees to utilize office space based on their activities for the day. If they need to attend a meeting, they have dedicated meeting rooms; if they want to make a sales call, they have call booths, and if they want to relax and have a friendly conversation with a colleague over coffee, there's space for that too.
The entire Covid-19 crisis has been a key factor in redefining workplace flexibility and making dynamic working the new standard. With most employees working from home for more than a year now, dynamic workspaces are becoming a key asset in organizational performance. And thanks to technology, providing the employees with scalability is no longer an issue.
Why Activity-Based Working?
1. Enabling flexible working for your people
Forbes called ''flexible working'' the way of the future in 2019. A year later, Covid disrupted all normal work processes and pushed everyone within the corners of their homes. This is when a lot of companies as well as employees discovered that flexibility is a boon. They can work when they want, how they want, and wherever they want to work from. Standing in late 2021, nobody wants to go back to the way it was.
Activity-based working breaks the shackles of a 9-5 way of working and provides autonomy and flexibility to your people. It helps suit every employee's needs.

2. Saving floor space
Did you know that fixed workplaces are typically used for only 50% of the time? Think of the savings in terms of square meters, operation costs and, of course, sustainability! Activity-based working takes advantage of this and makes sure that there is an optimal use of space in the offices. It is understanding that employees, during the day, engage in many different activities and they must have the freedom to work where and when and how they please. This style of work promotes innovation, collaboration and productivity – thus making work and office, both fun!
There are some elements that can make or break your dynamic workplace strategy. One of them is smart lockers.
What are Smart locker solutions?
If you have been following our content, you already have a whole lot of ideas about smart locker systems, but let’s revisit this for a quick recap. Smart locker systems are self-service, smart storage solutions that enable organizations to optimize workspace, save time, and automate manual, mundane administrative tasks.
Take a look at this short video to have a better understanding of Smart Lockers :
But, what do smart locker systems have to do with Dynamic Working or Activity-Based Working?
Well, it turns out that smart locker solutions for activity-based offices are quite crucial. Let’s look at a scenario: You have an employee work on the first floor of your office building today and they book the locker on the first floor. Tomorrow, they might work on the third floor and book a locker there without releasing his locker on the first floor. Another day, he might work on another floor and book a locker there. That’s 3 lockers already for one person and without you realizing, your locker space is wiped out in a month. So, you have to order more lockers! Not anymore, not with dynamic locker management! Vecos can help you there!
Why Smart Lockers are Becoming a Must-Have for Activity-based working spaces?
Having a locker management solution motivates both employees and visitors to work anywhere in the office without having to worry about their personal belongings or confidential documents. Also, cluttered desk spaces with coats hanging on the back of a chair, or bags and personal belongings lying on the table don’t really promote a modern and smart working culture.
Being a key enabler of dynamic working, storage has taken a spotlight in workplace design. Besides flexible storage and increased autonomy to choose where to work from, here are the top 3 reasons why ABW and dynamic locker management solutions go hand in hand:
A self-service storage system that improves operation
If you are still stuck with a traditional key or pin code lockers, you know how much work it is - hassle with issuing and re-issuing keys, keeping a manual record of locker usage, and then let’s not even go to when people lose the keys! With smart locker solutions, you can say goodbye to these inconveniences.
Vecos’ smart lockers are self-service storage solutions that are user-friendly and one can use company access cards, smartphones, and facial recognition to assign, release as well as operate these lockers. The technology adapts to your organization and enables the desired way of working. It saves time as well as significantly reduces administrative work while improving productivity and employee-wellbeing without compromising on equipment security.
Efficient utilization of space
Our research says that 95% of all available lockers are occupied, but only 50% are used over 3 months! Unbelievable!! Think of all the space you can save! Smart locker management software provides real-time data and insights on locker usage and one can use the data to continuously optimize their storage.
In this data-driven world, visibility is crucial when it comes to space management. Understanding, who the lockers are assigned to, how long were they using them and how often were they using them opens a whole different dimension to space utilization and hence, space-saving!
Easy third party Integrations
Your business needs to respond to market demands quickly. Whether it is to improve workplace productivity or customer experience or security, integrations play a crucial role in refining your business processes.
Our smart locker systems can seamlessly integrate with external third-party applications and easily fit into the overall workflows of your company. After all, technology should help streamline and centralize processes, not clutter them with an endless catalog of app options.
Read More: Seamless integration with any IT ecosystem
In Conclusion :
Employees working in activity-based workplaces use the office for shorter periods, or functionally – based on the agenda of the day, leaving offices vacant or unused most of the time. One important aspect herein is the ability for the employees to use the workplace dynamically – this being directly related to the freedom to get storage space when and where required.
Smart lockers are a growing trend that is all set to modernize and innovate workplaces in the coming years. And because it is a relatively new technology, you need to make sure that you work with a company that is a pioneer in this state-of-the-art technology and can assess your needs to provide you with the right solution. Find out how Vecos helped numerous companies enable flexible working and smart locker solutions all over the world! And if you think that your company needs to be on the list too, Book a demo here.

The mystery of the cargo of a ship that sank 800 years ago may finally be solved after archaeologists zapped its contents with an ‘x-ray gun’.
Scientists in the US have been using new handheld portable X-ray fluorescence detector on ceramic bowls from the wreck to identify where they came from.
With no written records on the ship, which sank off the coast of Indonesia, little information was known about where it was coming from or went.
With their new gadget, scientists from the Field Museum in Chicago were able to pinpoint more precisely where the ceramics were made in southeastern China.
Scientists now know that the ceramics came from 2,000 miles (3,200 km) from where the ship sank, which is about the distance from New York to Las Vegas.
Wenpeng Xu, the study’s lead author from the University of Illinois at Chicago, said: ‘It’s amazing that we can pinpoint the production area of materials from an 800-year-old shipwreck.’
Traditionally, archaeological artefacts would have been put through X-ray machines to determine their composite makeup.

Gaming has become a huge part of pop culture, sprouting its own communities and sub-culture. It is estimated that almost 30% of the world’s population partake in some form of gaming, from mobile to casual, to the world of competitive gaming, Hobbyist World takes a look at this fascinating virtual world.
Console Gaming vs PC Gaming
The debate of console versus PC is the chicken or the egg conundrum of gaming, and you'll find compelling arguments for either side. Although there aren’t many differences in the quality of the visuals, variety or even the prices of games, which used to be a true deciding factor, up until sites like Steam came on the scene, with their massive sales, and paved that gap.
However, people that game competitively, do so on PCs, with MOBA games.
The mobile gaming industry is steadily growing, expected to top $100 billion by 2021, but mobile gaming isn't really considered “gaming” by the gaming community, as it is a lot more casual and not nearly as time-consuming as PC or console gaming are. But unlike PCs and consoles, we can take our phones anywhere. With the convenience of being in your pocket, it's no surprise that mobile games are fast becoming the largest sub-genre of the gaming industry.
What the future holds
Virtual reality (VR) and photo-realistic graphics.
Although virtual reality is not exactly future video game technology, the graphics are typically still very cartoonish and the level of immersion can be clunky. Although photo-realistic graphics have been achieved with PC games, and console games commonly feature them, virtual reality has yet to catch up. With future gaming technology, virtual reality headsets will be able to render 3D graphics that are almost indistinguishable from real-life.
Like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality has been around for a while, but it has yet to be fully utilised in connection with video games. The wild success of Pokémon Go only gave us a hint of the potential that this future video game technology has in store.

Durham-born Fiona Hill’s star turn at impeachment hearings sends book sales soaring
A coal miner’s daughter from Co Durham has become a celebrity in the US after delivering withering testimony to the House impeachment inquiry this week, shredding President Trump’s favourite conspiracy theory.
Now a book written in 2013 by Fiona Hill, an expert on Russia who has served three presidents, is the bestseller in Amazon’s political leadership books, and is in the top 100 overall.
Until her appearance at the congressional hearing yesterday, few Americans had heard of Dr Hill, a career foreign service officer, but details of her life story and her assured testimony were immediately compelling.
One reviewer wrote of the book that had languished in obscurity for years: “This book is incredible, you are a treasure, and we as fellow citizens are

Those who work in the healthcare industry know: HIPAA compliance is often fiercely enforced by the Department of Health and Human Services, and penalties can be steep.
“Each covered entity is required to implement safeguards to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of PHI. These safeguards will vary depending on the size of the covered entity and the nature of healthcare it provides, but the penalties for failing to safeguard the integrity of PHI can be extremely high. Healthcare organizations that deliberately or negligently fail to adhere to HIPAA privacy laws can be fined up to $50,000 per offense per day,” wrote the HIPAA Journal.
Nevertheless, many health organizations — especially hospitals — struggle to secure protected health information. Here are some of the most common HIPAA violations and the penalties that occur as a result.
Background: What are the HIPAA requirements?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is enforced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to protect PHI (protected health information).
There are 18 PHI identifiers that make medical information “identifiable” and traceable back to a specific individual. Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, health plan beneficiary numbers, account numbers, and names of patients, relatives, or employers are all considered identifiers. You can read more about PHI that HIPAA protects in this guide: PHI Compliance: What It Is and How To Achieve It.
HIPAA violations are considered either civil, meaning they were committed without any malicious intent, or criminal (with malicious intent). The very worst criminal violations can lead to a fine of up to $250,000 and jail time of up to 10 years.
While HIPAA requires organizations to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI, there are few specifics in the HIPAA regulations as to how to go about securing patient information. Many HIPAA violations are the result of human error and misconfigurations, as well as the way data is shared.
Impermissible uses and disclosures of PHI
One of the most common HIPAA violations occurs when PHI is accessed by those who should have access. Accessing the health records of patients for anything other than treatment, payment and healthcare operations is a violation of patient privacy.
Often, this violation is committed by employees, rather than hackers (considered to be a separate issue). These employees could simply be curious, or they could be snooping for information on celebrities, family members, and friends. In worst-case scenarios, employees could be selling PHI for personal gain.
“Patients’ digital medical records are 50 times more valuable than financial information, according to cybersecurity experts,” reported the American Medical Association.
Penalties: These types of violations can result in termination of employment, as well as criminal charges for the employees, depending on the motivation behind the inappropriate access. Financial penalties can add up quickly: the University of California Los Angeles Health System was fined $865,000 for failing to restrict access to medical records after a physician accessed the medical records of celebrities and other patients without authorization.
Failure to perform organization-wide risk analysis
HIPAA requires healthcare companies and those who work with healthcare companies to perform an organization-wide risk analysis.
This analysis aims to determine if there are any vulnerabilities in the organization’s systems that could put PHI confidentiality, integrity, and availability at risk. Businesses that do not carry out this risk analysis create an opportunity for hackers to infiltrate their systems and steal patient data.
Failure to manage security risks and the lack of a risk management process leads to further violations. Risks that are identified in the analysis must then be addressed through a risk management process. Threats and vulnerabilities should be prioritized and addressed in a reasonable time frame.
The HHS has worked with NIST to create the NIST HIPAA Security Toolkit Application. This toolkit helps organizations better understand the requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule, implement those requirements, and assess those implementations in their operational environment. In addition, the HHS offers a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment (SRA) Tool to help small and medium-sized health care practices and business associates comply.
Lack of patient access to their PHI
HIPAA’s Privacy Rule empowers patients to have access to their medical records on demand. Patients must be able to check their records for errors and get copies of them as needed. Many HIPAA entities face penalties for denying patients copies of their health records or failing to supply those records within 30 days of the request.
Penalties: This HIPAA violation has led to penalties ranging from $3,500 to over $4 million.
Lack of encryption
“Perhaps the most common of all HIPAA violations is the failure to properly secure and encrypt data. In part, this is because there are so many different ways for this to happen,” wrote HIPAA Exams.
This violation is a complicated one for health organizations. On one hand, encryption is not mandatory under HIPAA Rules. But, if the organization decides not to use encryption, an alternative, equivalent security measure must be used in its place.
Other times, this violation occurs as a result of human error. When physical charts of files are left in exam rooms where patients might see them, or when a staff person downloads records onto an unsecured mobile device, lack of encryption can cause an issue.
Lack of encryption is often paired with a second violation: device theft. “The OCR estimates that between 2009 and present, up to 50 percent of Americans have had their PHI compromised. A large proportion of these breaches are due to the theft of unprotected and unencrypted mobile devices,” reported HIPAA Exams.
Penalties: In 2010, the HHS was notified that an unsecured device with unencrypted ePHI had led to a breach at the Dallas Children’s Medical Center. This breach involved the loss of ePHI of 3,800 patients. Children’s Medical Center was fined $3.2 million for this incident as well as other violations.
Non-compliant agreements with third parties
Finally, partnership agreements with vendors that are given access to PHI can be the source of many HIPAA violations. The average health organization works with many different vendors, and with the rise of telehealth, this includes many SaaS companies that enable remote work.
It’s important to carefully read the terms and privacy protocols for every platform your organization uses to ensure it is HIPAA compliant. Check out some of these guides we’ve designed to help you get started:
- How to Make Slack HIPAA Compliant in 2022
- Is Docusign HIPAA Compliant?
- Is Microsoft Teams HIPAA Compliant?
- Is Dropbox HIPAA Compliant?
- Is Google Drive HIPAA Compliant?
- Is Zendesk HIPAA Compliant?
- Is Atlassian Cloud HIPAA Compliant?
Penalties: We expect the financial repercussions for sharing PHI on unsecured platforms to rise over the next decade. Recently we’ve seen penalties ranging up to $1.5 million. Make sure to work with a tool like Nightfall to ensure your tools and platforms are HIPAA compliant.

Move over, Joseph Papp. Free Shakespeare in the park is coming to Washington. And the first to hit the boards will be last spring's acclaimed production of "The Merry Wives of Windsor" from the Shakespeare Theatre at the Folger.
"I hope this will become a real annual event," said Michael Kahn, the theater's artistic director, who, with The Washington Post, yesterday announced the creation of a two-week summer season at the Carter Barron Amphitheatre.
Kahn began looking for a way to bring Shakespeare to a larger part of the community when he came to the Folger five years ago. His theater seats only 240 people, and its last three productions -- "The Merry Wives of Windsor," "Richard III" and "Othello" -- have sold out.
"People have talked about how they can't get into our shows," said Kahn yesterday from New York. "We've turned thousands of people away. For me it's a way to repay the community for the support it's given us for the last five years."
The folks at the Folger, where tickets cost from $19 to $39, are hopeful that the opportunity to see a Shakespeare play for nothing at all will make the Bard accessible to people who might never be able to afford an ordinary ticket.
"This creates a live experience," said Jessica L. Andrews, the Folger's managing director. "It's very important to broaden the appreciation of classical theater. This will enable us to get a wider audience in a way that we are now limited and cannot extend any farther because we have a small house."
The entire program, "Shakespeare Free for All," will include two weeks of live theater (June 4-16) for 1,000 people a night as well as a series of ancillary programs: workshops, demonstrations and classes that will take place on afternoons and weekends at Carter Barron.
According to Kahn, "The Merry Wives of Windsor" will be presented with almost its entire original cast, including actress Pat Carroll as Falstaff. "All our plays are nontraditionally cast," said Kahn.
The Folger enterprise will not be the first time Washington has seen free outdoor summer Shakespeare. In the '60s and '70s, the Sylvan Theater on the south slope of the Washington Monument grounds was the site of the Shakespeare Summer Festival, courtesy of the D.C. Recreation Department and the National Park Service.
Open-air Shakespeare has a long tradition, in this country with Joseph Papp's Shakespeare Festival in Central Park, and in England as far back as Shakespeare himself.
Papp, who has put on more than 100 Shakespearean productions in New York since 1956, and who years ago hired Kahn to stage "Measure for Measure" in Central Park, yesterday was enthusiastic about the Washington project. "Naturally I think it's wonderful," he said. "The atmosphere is different out of doors. There's more freedom. And it's much more related to Shakespeare because for a time he had no roof over his head."
Papp also pointed out that outdoor Shakespeare has a chance of at least beginning to reach the kind of audience that usually does not come to the theater, where patrons are mostly white and mostly middle-class. "The only way to avoid that is to go out into the community," he said.
The sponsors of "Shakespeare Free for All" are The Washington Post and the Philip L. Graham Fund, the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, and the Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation. Additional support will be provided by the AT&T Foundation and the Elizabeth D. Heller Fund.

Local social justice groups are planning a march and rally in Redwood City on Friday to demand justice for Breonna Taylor and an end to police killings.
The event, organized by Tha Hood Squad and Justice Vanguard, is set to march from artist Jose Castro’s mural at 2nd Avenue and Middlefield Road in North Fair Oaks and then rally at Courthouse Square, 2200 Middlefield Road, according to a flyer circulating on social media.
“Redwood City has a problem. America has a problem. It’s time to BE that solution no matter how long it takes,” Tha Hood Squad states on social media.
The protest is set to be held one week after following the controversial arrest of an apparent counter protester at a pro-police rally in Courthouse Square. It’s also set to happen amid an ongoing debate over how to reform police in Redwood City. Calls for police reform stem from the national “defund police” movement that emerged following the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody. On June 2, a peaceful demonstration drew about 2,000 to Courthouse Square in response to Floyd’s death on May 25.
The groups organizing the upcoming protest on Friday held a similar event attracting about 150 protesters in Menlo Park on Sept. 26, according to Palo Alto Online. Chanting demonstrators at times blocked traffic, but news reports indicate the event remained peaceful. The protest was one of many held nationwide in the days following a grand jury decision in Louisville not to indict police officers on murder charges in the death of Taylor. On March 13, Taylor was fatally shot in her Louisville apartment by police who were executing a search warrant.

Bank Holiday weekend is here and here are our top international picks for the weeks.
1. Var release ‘Live At Orgelsmidjan’
Iceland’s VAR is debuting a new 4-song session on Audiotree. The performance consists of the tracks featured on their recent ‘Live at Orgelsmidjan’ EP, (studio versions of which appear on the band’s critically acclaimed 2020 LP ‘The Never-Ending Year.’) and was filmed at Orgelsmidjan, Iceland’s only pipe organ workshop, which also serves as the band’s practice space.

2. Louise Terry releases new single ‘Yuu’
Castlemaine-via-Melbourne musician Louise Terry has been traversing the vast electro and experimental art-pop expanse long before the inception of her near-namesake solo moniker Louise Terra began. Known for her involvement with such Melbourne indie outfits as Sugar Fed Leopards, Sawtooth, Brite Fight and Flying Scribble, Louise Terra has trickled out a string of singles and multimedia collaborations to her name since 2016, most notably with film-maker Rachel Feery in the production of a virtual-reality music video for her single, ‘Nature Calling’ in 2019. Now, the ever-evolving songwriter and producer is excited to soon deliver her anticipated debut EP, Follow the Moon Into The Ocean on Wednesday 14 April and reveal a third and final tease from the collection with her new single and accompanying video, ‘Yuu’.
3. Cannon return with new single ‘Light In The Fog’
Beloved noughties indie rock outfit Cannon return with their first single of the year, ‘Light In The Fog’ lifted from their anticipated debut album Connexion. Following on from last year’s long-awaited track and instant fan favourite ‘Enemy’, the Melbourne three-piece are thrilled to share this second taste of Connexion and reveal that the debut LP will finally be here Friday 4 June via Quixotic Records.
Having nervously decided to rehearse as an overdue excuse to come together over a few drinks, Cannon reconnected after a long stint of pursuing other projects and are excited to share the undeniably ripe fruits of their labour with their debut album Connexion. Reminiscent of T-Rex, hinting at early Kasabian and Primal Scream, but blasting like Ty Segall, Cannon is a collection of guitars, noise and subtle 80s synth, connected by philosophical songs about anxiety, Absurdism, the fine line between survival and self-destruction, and an indignant, yet tranquilised, social malaise. Out today, Cannon’s second lifted single ‘Light In The Fog’ leaves its predecessor’s anthemic pub-rock choruses for a cruisey earworm of distortions.
4.Illumination Road Debut Searing New Single “The Modern World”
From the quiet mountains of the California high-desert, this 4-piece assembly of artists known as Illumination Road is indeed, a rock band but also a collective of successful, dynamic creatives with their very own production world on a 140 acre ranch in historic Pioneertown.
Consisting of established songwriters, producers, multi-instrumentalists, filmmakers and engineers, the group is a new look at the modern way “bands” can create and exist. With their own production company, recording studio, record label, endless natural film sets on site and incredibly original talent they’re able to produce endless creative content from the comforts of ‘The Ranch’.
Lead vocalist, songwriter and guitarist, Chris Ayden combines the love of classic artists like The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Bob Marley with modern characteristics all his own. His truly soulful guitar playing and vocal style lends itself to emotional blues but with the aggression of new rock.
5. Jordan Suaste shares ‘If The World Ended Tonight’
Jordan Suaste shares the video for “If The World Ended Tonight (Stripped)” – a stark and stunning rendition of his latest single which he contributed to To All The Boys: Always And Forever (Music From The Netflix Film). The endearingly intimate visual marks the 19-year-old artist’s first official performance of the song, which is fast approaching 2 million total global streams.
Filmed in his home state of Utah, “If The World Ended Tonight (Stripped)” finds Suaste cozied up in a vintage throne-like chair in the center of a desolate room, with musician/pianist Jake Ostler seated at his keyboard several feet away. In a departure from the sprawling arrangement of the original track — a beautifully heartfelt piece built on ethereal textures, lush string work, and hypnotic vocal layering — Suaste’s deeply expressive voice is accompanied only by Ostler’s delicate playing. The result is undeniable proof of Suaste’s ability to captivate with even the most subtle performance, showcasing the tremendous warmth and graceful vocal command he’s previously brought to his DIY-produced hits “Hookup Culture,” “Patience” and “Body” (Suaste’s breakthrough single, now approaching 100 million combined global streams).
The first new music from Suaste since that trio of songs (all released in 2020), “If The World Ended Tonight” has racked up more than 2 million total video streams to date. In addition to landing on a number of highly coveted Spotify playlists (such as New Music Friday, Fresh & Chill, and Chill Pop), the track has appeared on several Apple Music playlists (including Relationship Goals, New Music Daily, and As Heard on TV). Hailed by NYLON as a “sweeping and romantic ballad,” the heart-on-sleeve song unfolds as a declaration of love and hope in the face of uncertainty.
6. Yndling releases debut track ‘Childish Fear’
Yndling is the dream-pop project of Norwegian artist Silje Espevik. This musical endeavour is the result of wanting to take complete creative control over her music. Through delicate soundscapes and oscillating synths, Yndling invites listeners into her own world, offering a place of escapism and resonance through her lyricism.
Her debut single “Childish Fear” is composed of a hushed, muffled bassline, beatific drums, flows of shimmering synths and hypnotic, celestial clouds of production, creating an engrossing paradise of sound and a melancholy atmosphere. Produced by Adrian Einestor Sandberg, the track drips in intimacy creating a stunning contrast to the story behind the tune which entails her fear of intimacy. Yndling divulges, “The song is about that stage in a relationship where there isn’t really that much new and exciting to discover about each other, and capture the fear that I might not be enough once the shimmering glow of first expressions fade.”
The dream-pop artist has an ability to create magical, dreamy soundscapes that are haunting and emotive, originating a fresh new sound and giving insight to an array of mixed emotions allowing listeners to have a raw view of her heart. “Childish Fear” gradually develops a thicker texture resulting in a full bloom of sound. The vocals are tender and ethereal, the backing vocals are almost unrecognisable as a voice floating throughout the track creating a wash of a dazy utopia to indulge in. Yndling shares, “I wanted to communicate a mood or a feeling with the song that evolves and becomes more consuming as the track unfolds.”
7. Olivia Morreale releases ‘Parasomnia’
Indie-pop artist & producer Olivia Morreale reveals the official music video for her new single “PARASOMNIA,” the second single from her forthcoming EP ‘SPACE DREAMS.’
A dreamy wonderland of gauzy synths, infectious bass and intricately layered vocal chops, “PARASOMNIA” is a musing on the way in which subconscious thoughts and desires are unlocked through dreams. For the music video, Olivia worked with director Sammy King to create the perfect encapsulation of what it’s like to be inside a dream. The resulting visual in an avant-garde odyssey full of otherworldly characters, vivid hues and surrealist storytelling. The video also stars a variety of local LA creatives, ranging from dancers to fashion designers. “Everyone in the video and involved in the making is also an independent artist or creative,” Olivia writes. “We gave them a huge amount of creative liberty and tried to involve everyone in the creative process which I think really made the video.”
Los Angeles-based Olivia Morreale kicked off this year with the release of “NO ANSWER” and “PARASOMNIA,” two of the new singles from her EP ‘SPACE DREAMS,’ due out later this year. Growing up in New York, Olivia was captivated by the jazz great like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Ella Fitzgerald. Now, melding her jazz background with her immersion in the pop utopia of her new home of Los Angeles, Olivia is creating a hybrid sound all of her own. Inspired by synth-pop, chillwave, jazz, and soul, her music is timeless and refreshing all at once.
In addition to her own releases, Olivia has toured as a background singer for Engelbert Humperdinck and was featured as a star vocalist on Jason “Spicy G” Goldman’s Hypnotized EP. Her ethereal, distinctive vocals have been her long standing calling card and her forthcoming EP, SPACE DREAMS, is a chance for her uniquely hypnotic cadence to take centerwww.

Remembered as the first woman to work as a lawyer in Camden, Arkansas, Crawford famously disappeared in 1957 and is presumed to be deceased. Half a century later, her case remained unsolved, although an Arkansas Gazette investigative journalism series in the 1980s established Camden business executive Mike Berg as a potential suspect in the case.
After graduating as the valedictorian of her class at Arkansas' Warren High School, she briefly studied at the University of Arkansas. After being employed as a court reporter by a southern Arkansas law firm, she passed the Arkansas bar examination and began working in the legal areas of titles and estates.
During the 1940s, she founded the Arkansas Girls State organization and became the first female member of the Camden City Council.
She and her three siblings grew up in Greenville, Texas and Warren, Arkansas. Her marriage to Clyde Falwell Crawford lasted from 1925 until her disappearance in 1957.
She and Chicago-based public defender Pearl Hart were among the first female attorneys in their respective states.

European Movement Federal Assembly 2016
On 27 May 2016 the European Movement International’s Federal Assembly met in The Hague with an ambitious agenda, packed full of important policy positions to be debated and agreed upon among the 78 member organisations.
The three political committees (on More Democracy; Jobs and Growth; and Europe in the World), which form the core of the European Movement International’s political direction, met in the morning to discuss a whole host of topics, including enlargement, migration and digital policy.
The Federal Assembly plenary began with a political debate on several topics including the British EU referendum, Migration and the Refugee crisis, Security, European Union Enlargement and Schengen:
- A new EMI Briefing Paper ‘The consequences of a UK exit from the European Union‘ was presented. It formed the basis for a discussion on the UK referendum; with members agreeing that Britain’s future is in the EU and a possible exit would have negative effects, both for Britain and the EU as a whole.
- On the topic of migration, members discussed the Movement’s new position on Migration and the Refugee Crisis, which among other things calls for reforming the Dublin regulation, readjusting the Blue Card regulation and treating refugees with the dignity and respect they deserve.
- On Enlargement, members had the chance to discuss the first set of points ahead of the preparation of draft Policy Position. The discussion focused on some of the obstacles to the process, and the challenges that civil society faces in the different Member States.
- On Free Movement and Schengen, members discussed the draft Policy Position prepared by the International Office. The focus was on preserving Europe’s open boarders and safeguarding citizens’ rights. Members discussed need for effective control of the external borders and a common European immigration and asylum policy.
- A debate on the Movement’s new position on Security was framed within the context of High Representative Federica Mogherini’s EU Global Strategy on Foreign and Security Policy, to be presented in June. The Movement urges the Union to streamline existing strategies and priorities and to focus on coordinated, impactful and joint action.
The event ended with a keynote address by Bert Koenders, Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, who outlined the challenges the EU faces and sketched his thoughts for the way forward (for the full speech see here).
