Finding A New Midwestern History
In comparability to such areas because the South, the a long way West, and New England, the Midwest and its tradition had been unnoticed each via students and via the preferred press. Historians in addition to literary and artwork critics have a tendency to not read about the Midwest extensive of their instructional paintings. And in the preferred creativeness, the Midwest hasn’t ever truly ascended to the extent of the proud, literary South the classy, democratic Northeast or the hip, leading edge West Coast. Finding a New Midwestern History revives and identifies anew the Midwest as a box of analysis via selling a range of viewpoints and lending legitimacy to a better, rigorous scholarly overview of a big area of the United States that has in large part been lost sight of via students. The essays talk about aspects of midwestern existence value inspecting extra deeply, together with historical past, faith, geography, artwork, race, tradition, and politics, and are written via well known students within the box comparable to Michael Allen, Jon Butler, and Nicole Etcheson.

ST PETERSBURG, Russia, May 24 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that sanctions imposed on Russia over its involvement in Ukraine were counterproductive and did not correspond to international law.
Speaking to a group of Western journalists on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Putin, criticising the West, said support for an "unconstitutional coup" interrupted a constructive dialogue over Ukraine.
He said that those who instigated the "coup" in Ukraine, should have thought more carefully about the consequences of their actions. (Reporting by Paul Ingrassia and Alexei Anischuk; Writing by Lidia Kelly; Editing by Alison Williams)

Chocolate milk has long been touted as the ideal recovery drink. The combination of fluid, protein and carbohydrate is just what your body needs to refuel post run while its calcium and vitamin D supports bone health. A study from Southern Connecticut State University compared the performance of runners who refuelled using either chocolate milk or a carbohydrate-only drink over two separate trials. Results showed that both drinks effectively replenished muscle glycogen but those who drank chocolate milk also had markers of increased muscle synthesis (rebuilding) indicating better recovery. To prove the point, in the second trial, individuals who drank the chocolate milk lasted significantly longer in the endurance test.
But not all chocolate milks are created equal. Different products can offer varying benefits for runners so choose one that meets your needs.

For Goodness Shakes Recovery is made from a combination of semi skimmed and skimmed milk and contains a 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein. It is specifically designed to support muscle health and restore energy after longer runs. Due to its higher carb content, save this for runs of an hour plus.
Tasting notes: An intensely chocolatey flavour and the sweetest of all brands tested.
£1.75 per 475ml bottle from Ocado.
Per 475ml: 299 cals, 50g carbs and 16g protein.
Best for when you don’t have a fridge: BAM
BAM’s natural chocolate milk can be kept at room temperature until opened making it a great option for when you need a speedy refuel. Made with whole milk and naturally sweetened with honey.
Tasting notes: A subtle chocolate flavour with a lighter, milky consistency.
£1.50 per 330ml carton from Sainsbury's.
Per 330ml: 326 cals, 35g carbs and 11g protein.
Best for non-dairy drinkers: Rebel Kitchen

More officers being used as security in retail stores due to rise in theft: police
Published Wednesday, December 11, 2019 2:40PM CST Last Updated Wednesday, December 11, 2019 3:31PM CST
The Liquor Mart at Osborne and River is shown in Winnipeg in a file image.
WINNIPEG -- Winnipeg police officers have increasingly been used as security at retail stores around the city, but now police want to clear up some misconceptions.
Const. Jay Murray said there has been a general rise in the number of officers at stores, which can be directly linked to the rise in thefts. More specifically, he said, there has been even more officers in stores in the month of December, because it’s a busy shopping season.
“In 2014, there was 2,855 retail thefts, in 2015 that number is 2,967, in 2016 it’s 2,647, in 2017 it’s 3,709, in 2018, 5,989, and from January 1, 2019, to the end of September that number is 6,569,” Murray said.
Murray said there is a few reasons why there has been an increase in thefts, which range from social issues to the growing meth crisis in Winnipeg.
“We want to get rid of this misconception that nothing’s going happen to these people that walk into these stores and steal,” said Murray. “Every store has different policies, some do have hands on policies, and some don’t, some have officers working, officers that are in uniform and sometimes there are officers that are in plain clothes.”
He also said when people get caught stealing from stores, a police investigation follows and eventually these people are getting arrested.
Another misconception Murray is trying to squash is that officers in stores are being taken away from more pressing matters.
He said all of the officers that do the special duty work are off-duty and have chosen to do the security work voluntarily.
Murray doesn’t want these officers to get burnt out, but as long as they pass provisions that cover how much they can work, they are allowed to do so.
Murray has been one of the many officers who work these retail shifts, and said even though officers are there people still try to steal and he usually has at least one arrest per shift.
To have an officer at a store it costs a business $112 per hour, and if they want a vehicle in front of the store as well it’s an extra $33 plus GST.
When it comes to catching people, Murray said officers aren’t doing bag checks as if they were at the airport, but police are usually alerted to a potential situation, which is when people are detained.
Many thefts that happen at these retail stores are happening at the self-check-outs. According to Murray, people will load up stolen items into bags or not pay for all the items. He said it can make it hard to catch them.

Three key sustainability themes to prepare for
Over time, consideration of ‘sustainability’ as an input to business decisions has significantly evolved. Likewise,...READ MORE
Jane Hume almost took an entirely different path and chased a career in accounting, but she put number crunching on the backburner to pursue politics.
Born and raised in Melbourne, Ms Hume completed a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Melbourne, later returning to study political science. After several senior positions in the financial services industry, Ms Hume was appointed as a senior policy adviser at AustralianSuper, before entering the Senate in 2016.
Today, Ms Hume is the Assistant Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and Financial Technology. But despite abandoning her initial plan to be an accountant, Ms Hume still has great respect for the profession.
Public Accountant recently spoke to Ms Hume about her new role in Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s cabinet. She candidly shared her views on innovation, super and women in Parliament, revealing that the Liberals are not big fans of being told what to do.
The fintech ministry role has been hailed a great step forward for fintechs, especially given your financial services experience. You are the first minister of this type in Parliament, meaning that you are responsible for charting your own waters, does this make the job more challenging?
It certainly makes the job more exciting. Clearly, fintech is the Prime Minister’s baby. He went to the UK on a trip in 2017 and saw open banking at work over there. He came back with a determination to implement something similar here. He was even more ambitious and decided the Consumer Data Right (CDR) that he envisioned was going to be an economy-wide CDR, and not just for banking.
We already had a burgeoning fintech community here and he established a fintech advisory panel, but it was really being run out of the innovation, industry and science portfolio, rather than Treasury. So, this is a really amazing opportunity to bring together the work that has been done both by the industry portfolio and the Treasury and put some resources behind what is now a fledgling, but really exciting industry in Australia.
You said earlier that the banking sector should beware of more tech-led competition. You also made it clear that you are not pro-bank or anti-bank, how do you propose to help the fintech community develop and evolve?
Competition in the financial sector leads to the best consumer outcome. More consumer engagement with their financial products and their financial services is the key to driving that competition. And the CDR legislation is evidence of that, which we have only really just passed. So obviously the CDR helps consumers use financial technology like comparison apps to make sure they are getting the best possible deal from their banks.
We’ve been doing an awful lot of consultations recently. We have been holding round-tables across the fintech ecosystem, listening to the views of fintechs across all aspects of financial services, payments, lending, super, the neobanks, but also in the regtech area, these hub communities like Stone & Chalk and YBF have been very helpful in that.
We have spoken about an enormous range of issues, including the regulatory environment, access to market, access to capital and skills, so there is an awful lot of policy options that have been discussed in that area. I am really looking forward to working with the industry, but also working with my colleagues in the ministry to ensure we have the right policy settings, not just in the Treasury portfolio but across the government, to build a really vibrant fintech community.
Previous budgets have not been favourable to the industry. Can we expect change next year?
I actually deny the premise of the question on that one. I think previous budgets have been very favourable to this industry. I think we’ve got quite a good track record when it comes to supporting the fintech industry. Particularly over the last government. The National Innovation and Science Agenda had $1.1 billion investment in the innovation ecosystem just in the last four years alone.
It has led to things like tax arrangements for early stage venture capital limited partnerships, that have helped venture capital investments in fintech proliferate. We have also legislated crowdsourced equity funding for both private and public companies.
The UK-Australia Fintech Bridge is an amazing innovation that is helping Australian fintech companies into the UK market and facilitating the UK fintechs to bring their products to Australia by aligning the regulatory regime. We introduced a restricted ADI licensing regime, which allows APRA to grant a time limited licence to new entrants in the banking sector, and the RBA’s new payment platform was launched quite recently, supporting that instant interbank payment. So, there has actually been an awful lot going on in this space.
And if you put CDR on top of that, which starts with open banking, but will roll out to other sectors including energy, telecommunication, superannuation … We’ve also got an enhanced regulatory sandbox coming up, which will allow more businesses to sort of test their financial services products and their services without a licence for a period of 24 months, rather than 12 months.
And then of course the other legislation we have coming up is the comprehensive credit reporting regime. Now that’s going to give lenders access to a much deeper and richer set of data that will enable providers to better assess a borrower’s true credit position and their ability to pay a loan. It will also benefit consumers who will be able to, far more easily and readily, demonstrate their reliability to get better deals on financial products as well.
There is an awful lot going on in this space.
There is a direct correlation between regulation and innovation, how do you plan to improve competition in financial services and make it easier for new entrants to get up and running?
The CDR stuff I think is fascinating. At the moment, less than one in five Australians that have a credit card or a home loan switch providers within a five-year period. And in fact, there is this fabulous statistic: two out of five Australians still use the same bank account their parents set up for them. When I read that I actually laughed, and then I realised, “oh my heavens, I’m one of them”.
That is 7 million Australians who have never switched their basic transaction account. So, the system is clearly not as competitive as it can be, because those that do switch make significant savings. I think the statistics are something like, on average, Australians save around $200 a year by switching their credit cards and over $1,000 a year by switching their home loan.
If we can make life easier for consumers, make it much easier to switch, the reduction on cost of living pressures can be quite substantial, and the CDR will allow Australians to do that. They get access to their own financial data, so if they want to switch home loans or credit cards all they have to do is ask their bank to provide them with the data they need in a one-click passage, they don’t have to go through all the complex paperwork that was required for an application...
So, there is an awful lot to be gained there.
Frameworks such as open banking are said to help ensure Australia is supporting innovation. Where are we at with this and what significance will open banking have to the community?
The complex application process is one of the great barriers stopping people from shopping around. But if we can provide an option that is a single click process when you’re switching financial service providers, then that really empowers consumers to use comparison tools that can help them get a better deal that will foster a far more competitive and more future looking fintech and financial services environment.
That should give far better outcomes to consumers. At the moment it’s the effort and the cost, and also the lack of understanding the information that has created that financial inertia, but the benefits are clear.
Once people understand the power of CDR, it will make it so much easier for everybody to find the best deal that is tailored to them.
Beyond that, there is a security aspect. No one really seems to be talking about it just yet, but I think it’s going to become more and more important. You can ask the bank to provide all the relevant data to whatever it may be, a credit fintech company or a comparison app that can provide you with personalised information about what your best options are, but you don’t have to go through that screen scraping technology that exists at the moment.
Comparison apps already exist, but to use them you have to provide full access to your banking data, your passwords, and that puts you at an enormous risk of theft and hacking, and you are also potentially contravening your bank’s terms of service, but you’re inadvertently voiding all the legal protection that your bank can provide if you are defrauded. So that unregulated sharing of data actually disadvantages consumers at the moment.
And the current timeline for the implementation of open banking?
The first accounts will be available in February next year. They will be very basic accounts, an almost trial period. I would imagine that open banking, like in the UK, will be a slow burn. By the middle of next year, there should be access to credit products as well, rather than just basic deposit and transaction accounts.
But I think it will take a little while before the fintechs take advantage of CDR and also consumers take advantage of the companies they can use CDR to access. It is a really exciting and transformative change. But evidence suggests it will take a while to catch-on, because it is so revolutionary.
On the super front, while we are debating increasing the SG from 9.5 to 12 per cent, we have not defined or enshrined into law the purpose of superannuation. Will the resolution of this issue be dependent or linked to what we want super to achieve?
Defining the purpose of superannuation was actually a recommendation of the Murray inquiry and it was something that was considered at the time. I think David Murray suggested that the objective to superannuation is to provide an income in retirement that substitutes the aged pension. That was his interpretation of the objective of superannuation. It became quite a contentious issue.
There are an awful lot of voices in this industry and a lot of them have vested interest in a particular outcome. And there were an awful lot of suggestions that maybe we needed to talk about things like what an adequate and comfortable retirement looked like, and all of a sudden, the objective of superannuation started being overlayed with subjectivity, which sort of overtook the debate.
What I think is far more important is to make the superannuation system more efficient, cost effective, remove those duplicate accounts, make sure that people aren’t being charged excessive fees, ensure that people aren’t paying excessive premiums for insurances that they don’t want, need or possibly don’t even know they have.
There is an awful lot that can be done to make the superannuation system more efficient without getting into an ideological debate about what its purpose is, because it means something different to everybody.
There has been commotion among the public over the constant tinkering with super rules. What can be done to stop ad hoc changes and prevent undermining confidence in the system?
The PM made it really clear before the election that there were going to be no adverse changes to taxation and superannuation under his government. On top of that, the Productivity Commission recommended a review of the retirement income system and that was in advance of that legislated increase in superannuation guarantees to 12 per cent.
So, the Morrison government has already put it on the record that we’re inclined to conduct that review and we’re considering the details of that review right now, the terms of reference, and there will be a bit more to say on that in due course.
But yes, you are right, I think that people should have confidence that the money they have put away for their retirement will be there when they need it.
Our audience is particularly interested in the financial services licensing of accountants. Are you prepared to say anything about the potential changes, especially given the review into the Tax Practitioners Board, which seems to be pre-empting the possibility for change?
The review of the TPB is already underway and it is actually the first review of the Tax Practitioners Board since it was established. So, at the moment the public has been invited to make submissions to that current discussion paper. My understanding is that the report will be provided to government at the end of October and then it will be considered carefully and the government will respond.
Now, I don’t want to pre-empt the outcomes of that review or the government’s response to any of the recommendations. It’s very early days.
Now to the topic of women in Parliament, I read an earlier interview where you said that women should work their way into the Liberal Party on merit. Malcolm Turnbull recently said that the Liberal Party has an obvious women problem and requires reform to assist more women into Parliament. Do you plan to push for the introduction of a gender quota?
This is such a contentious issue within the Liberal Party, because by their very nature Liberals are a) democratic, and b) hate being told what to do... And while I do have a number of colleagues that do support gender quotas, and we do speak about this passionately, but sensibly. It is not a divisive issue, but one that is important to address. My theory is that there are other ways, better ways of improving the numbers of women within the Liberal Party ranks.
I think that we can look at alternative pathways, through things like succession planning, formal mentoring programs. There are better ways of doing it without inflicting an outcome upon a bunch of preselection delegates who value the democratic right to choose their representatives.
Imagine an election where they said you can vote for any party you want, but the prime minister has to be female. People would be outraged, wouldn’t they? And that is essentially what a gender quota within the Liberal Party would do. It’s quite similar.
So, I think there are better ways to improve the number of women in Parliament, but it does need a collective will. It needs to start with leadership, both in the parliamentary wing and the organisational wing.
Look, the good thing is we have seen a significant number of women coming into the Parliament in the last election, some really good quality candidates, quality members of Parliament. People like Angie Bell, Fiona Martin, Celia Hammond and Katie Allen. They have really raised the bar on the calibre of women we have in Parliament. It’s terrific.
We also have a cabinet that has a record number of women in it. I think that a lot of the accusations that are levelled at the Liberal Party are a little outdated.

Since moving to gator country, I’ve been curious as to why the animal’s meat is almost exclusively served fried. Although the stray stewed, grilled or braised alligator dish will occasionally appear on a restaurant menu – New Orleans’ Mandina’s has reportedly subjected gator to its meunière treatment – most alligator available for ordering takes the form of a crispy nugget.
Buttermilk is a recurring item on Tristan’s menus, but the downtown restaurant is now planning a four-course dinner at which the humble beverage will be incorporated into every high-end dish.
At the Sept. 26 event, inspired by Vermont dairywoman Diane St. Clair’s The Animal Farm Buttermilk Cookbook, buttermilk will brine the fried chicken; sauce the carbonara; soften the mashed potatoes accompanying a veal breast and flavor the cheesecake. Chef Nate Whiting describes the dinner as “an homage to buttermilk.”
St. Clair is quoted in a release as saying the menu’s also a tribute to buttermilk’s “amazing culinary versatility.”
Although St. Clair won’t be attending the dinner (she dined at Tristan while in town earlier this year to promote her book), you can score a ticket for $125. The price includes three wine pairings, since man apparently can’t live on buttermilk alone, and a copy of St. Clair’s book. To reserve, call 534-2155.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC RX100 IV Review – The RX-series from Sony is regarded as one of the top performers in the compact cameras segment. The RX100 and subsequent upgrades have improved with each iteration and the latest RX100 IV takes the camera’s video capability a step further.
COMPACT YET STURDY
The RX100 IV looks and feels almost identical to the RX100 III. The outer shell has a robust build with a combination of metal and engineering plastic. The tiny built-in pop-up viewfinder and flash fits snugly into its assigned slot and springs up when the flash release lever is pulled. Though we favour a slow, carefully damped release of flash, we doubt if Sony could have accommodated additional gears and springs in this little compartment. However, given the mechanism, there is an inherent flaw that is consistently observed in these accessories propped on simple hinges — exposed cables or circuit strips.
And in the case of the RX100 IV, the metal hinge appears to press against these strips when the flash is lowered into the slot. A similar exposed strip is found in all tilt-only LCD screens, and the RX100 IV is no exception. The LCD at the back measures 3-inches in size and is sharp at 1.2 million dots. Although the display is not touchscreen enabled, the screen is complemented with a jog dial surrounded by play, cancel, function and menu buttons.
That said, The RX100 IV is a joy to use. It’s compact enough to fit in one’s hand, though one thing that works against the size is the use of small buttons, which users with large fingers may find a bit difficult to operate. The camera is easy to use and has an intuitive interface.
The tiny EVF helps in low-light situations to eliminate camera shake. Propping up the viewfinder will switch on the camera. Images appear crisp both in the viewfinder and the LCD with legible information display. Given the size, the camera lacks a proper grip, thus making it slippery. Hence, we would advice users to attach and use the wrist strap without fail.
The improvements of the RX100 IV over the RX100 III are mainly related to 4K video recording and highspeed image capture. But to enjoy these advantages, you need to use an SDXC Class 10 or UHS-I compatible memory card. 4K videos are limited to five minutes per video where the camera uses XAVC S format to record 4K. Users can even opt for AVCHD or MP4 format to record high-definition video. On using it, we found the Autofocus fast and precise, and could lock on to the subject even under low light.
Out-of-the-box JPEG images were sharp, except at f/11, and this remained consistent throughout the zoom range. Darkening of corners was controlled very well. We did not observe darkening even at f/1.8 at the wide-angle end. The lens eliminated Flare and Ghosting, but we observed a tinge of purple fringing in strong against-the-light shots. All metering modes performed well as expected.
Surprisingly, we observed barrel distortion from around 55mm up to the telephoto end, while there was no distortion at the wide-angle end. Images in the LCD and viewfinder appeared sharp, though it was cumbersome to use the small EVF.
The EVF eyepiece optics is also treated with ZEISS T Coating to reduce unwanted reflections for clear corner-to-corner visibility. The camera reproduced colours true to the original, especially under natural light. Slight cast produced under artificial light sources were easy to remove in post-processing. The RX100 IV supports ISO sensitivity up to 12800, which frankly, is not usable. Images, however, noise-free up to ISO 1600, while slight noise was observed at ISO 3200 and 6400.
The camera also comes with camera modes like Sweep Panorama and variety of scenes like Fireworks, Gourmet, Pet, Sunset and Portrait. Couple of other interesting features include wireless connectivity and PlayMemories Camera apps.
Built-in Wi-fi and NFC makes it easier for smartphones to connect for easier sharing and act as a remote shutter button while the PlayMemories Camera apps enhance the camera with extra functions. Do note, some of these camera apps need to be purchased separately.
The RX100 IV is a great little camera that takes excellent pictures and videos but at an MRP of 69,990 Rupee, we would consider this quite high for a compact camera. with a 24-70mm lens.

Album: All By Myself
. . .
So the story goes like this: there was a hardcore band based out of Fullerton, CA called The Adolescents, whose self-titled debut album is still well-regarded today. One of the principal songwriters on that album was multi-instrumentalist Rikk Agnew, brought in by his brother Frank to play drums — he’d also been the bassist for Social Distortion — but who ended up on guitar. As you do.
In any event, despite the good reviews and (relatively) good sales, Agnew left the Adolescents and somehow had the good fortune to hook up with four other guys also named “Rikk Agnew.” Or at least that’s what the back cover of his debut album, All By Myself, would have you believe. I mean, what are the odds!?!?!
Drums: Rikk Agnew
Bass: Rikk Agnew
Guitars: Rikk Agnew
Keyboards: Rikk Agnew
Vocals: Rikk Agnew
I don’t know why I’ve always gotten a kick out of that, but I always have and I always will. In any event, All By Myself was an early staple at by college radio station, 90.7 KFSR, Fresno especially the opening track “O.C. Life,” where guitarist Rikk Agnew channeled East Bay Ray while railing about how fucked up Orange County was. In my mind, that song will forever be associated with the legendary “Too Hip” Chip, who would shout “this one’s for you, Fullerton” along with Agnew at the beginning of the track. (Unless, of course, he didn’t.)
In any event, while I liked “O.C. Life” well enough, the song on All By Myself that I loved was the long and soaring “Everyday,” an absolutely unabashed love song that opens with a massive near-jangly guitar hook by guitarist Rikk Agnew.
Ive wanted you to be all mine, since the time we met
The wreckless past you wandered through, I’d rather soon forget
But memories are history, and I am here today
I’ll never leave your life, my dear
My love will never fray
And while singer Rikk Agnew struggles to get all of the words that lyricist Rikk Agnew has written, it doesn’t even matter, because bassist Rikk Agnew is pumping out hook after hook underneath and drummer Rikk Agnew is throwing in rolls in and around the chorus while keyboardist Rikk Agnew is underpinning with organ.
Want you everyday
Need you everyday
The thought of you gives me a rush in a special way
Want you everyday
Need you everyday
I really want you to believe in what i have to say
In a weird way, it’s almost too unabashed, too cheesy — no one would mistake this for hardcore in any way, shape or form — and yet, it’s so incredibly sincere that it gets a pass. You’re really kind of rooting for Rikk Agnew here, despite the incredibly clumsy phrasing.
Sure we have our bad times, but most of them are grand
Sure you had another guy, I tried to understand
But im not into sharing you, the best thing that I’ve got
I want you to be my own, till we reach reaper’s lot
I mean, I’ve been cringing at “till we reach reaper’s lot” for nearly 40 years now, and all it’s gotten me is that much closer to reaper’s lot, so I guess the joke’s on me.
After that verse, there’s a long wordless bridge, where guitarist Rikk Agnew jingles and jangles and jingles some more, just in case you weren’t already scandalized enough by the whole thing. This is followed by one more verse.
As I sing these words to you, I want them to sink in
You make me feel like millions, my feelings from within
Please let’s be forever girl, so wonderful is fate
I dedicate this song to you, to you my chosen mate
I love this so much. I mean, just the tortuous language of that final couplet. Which is totally “backwards ran sentences until reeled the mind.”
Want you everydayyyyyyyyyyyy
(Want you everyday)
Need you everydayyyyyyyyyyyy
(Need you everyday)
In the end, lead singer Rikk Agnew and backing vocalist Rikk Agnew do a nice call-and-response as “Everyday” fades into the night.

Chiral donor−acceptor azetines as powerful reactants for synthesis of amino acid derivatives
Coupling reactions of amines and alcohols are of central importance for applications in chemistry and biology. These transformations typically involve the use of a reagent, activated as an electrophile, onto which nucleophile coupling results in the formation of a carbon-nitrogen or a carbon–oxygen bond. Several promising reagents and procedures have been developed to achieve these bond forming processes in high yields with excellent stereo-control, but few offer direct coupling without the intervention of a catalyst. Herein, we report the synthesis of chiral donor–acceptor azetines by highly enantioselective [3 + 1]-cycloaddition of enoldiazoacetates with aza-ylides and their selective coupling with nitrogen and oxygen nucleophiles via 3-azetidinones to form amino acid derivatives, including those of peptides and natural products. The overall process is general for a broad spectrum of nucleophiles, has a high degree of electronic and steric selectivity, and retains the enantio-purity of the original azetine.

|About this Recording
8.572218 - Vocal Recital: Svetlov, Mikhail - MUSSORGSKY, M.P. / CUI, C. / RIMSKY-KORSAKOV, N.A. / BALAKIREV, M.A. / BORODIN, A.P. (Russian Songs)
The group of nineteenth-century Russian composers widely known as the Mighty Handful (moguchaya kuchka) owe their popular nickname to the leading Russian art historian and critic Vladimir Vasilyevich Stasov, son of a distinguished architect, welcoming a concert put together in 1867 by Mily Balakirev for the delegates to the Pan-Slavic Congress in St Petersburg. Under Peter the Great and his successors Russia had turned to the West, but the middle years of the nineteenth century brought an inceasing division between those who looked to Western Europe for inspiration and those who found it in the native arts of Russia. In music the emergence of a group of young enthusiasts, led at first by Balakirev and encouraged by Stasov, marked a break with the contemporary initiative of Anton and Nikolay Rubinstein, who established conservatories in St Petersburg and then in Moscow, institutions intended to train Russian musicians in the musical techniques with which they had become familiar in Germany. For Anton Rubinstein the nationalist composers seemed mere amateurs; for the nationalists the conservatories seemed stultifying, although divisions between the two groups were not always as clear as they might now seem. Balakirev’s five composers, Mussorgsky, Cui, Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov, soon began to draw apart, divergent in ability and interests, and less willing to accept Balakirev’s strictures. By the end of the century a synthesis had been reached between nationalists and westernisers, with the emergence of a thoroughly competent and professional school of Russian composition, the age of Glazunov and of Rachmaninov.
Mily Balakirev, sometimes described as the only member of the Mighty Handful to have had a professional training, was, as a composer, at least, largely self-taught. This did not prevent him from assuming a leading rôle in the early activities of his fellow-nationalists. Born in Nizhny-Novgorod in 1837, the son of a minor government official, he developed his early musical abilities and was finally able to support himself in St Petersburg, by giving piano lessons and private performances. It was here that he met two young army officers, Cui and Mussorgsky, both keen amateur composers over whom he began to exert some influence, and Dmitry and Vladimir Stasov. In 1861 he met the naval cadet Rimsky-Korsakov and a year later the research chemist Borodin. Balakirev’s later career brought limited success, as his former disciples pursued their own courses. For a time in the early 1870s he withdrew from musical life, returning to take a position as director of the Imperial Court Chapel. The establishment of a means of publication for Russian music by Belyayev seemed to threaten his position and the younger group of composers that he sought to influence never reached the eminence of The Five, while his own compositions, to which in later years he devoted himself, aroused little interest.
The first three of Balakirev’s 45 songs were written in 1855, the last in 1909, the year before his death. This is in addition to the two collections Russian folk-songs he compiled and for which he provided piano accompaniments, the first, a set of forty folk-songs, in 1866 and the second, Thirty Songs of the Russian People, in 1898. The lilting Barkarola (Barcarolle) , from 1858, is a setting of a text by Alexander Arsen’yev based on Heine’s Du schönes Fischermädchen. Slïyshu li golos tvoy (When I hear your voice) , a setting of words by Mikhail Yur’yevich Lermontov, dates from 1863, and Kak naladidi: durak (They keep calling me a fool) , a poem by Lev Alexsandrovich Ley that had been set by Tchaikovsky twenty years before, appears in a collection of ten songs from 1895–96. The sardonic poem urges a drunkard to turn from ‘green wine’ (vodka) to water, whatever the likely consequences. Evreyskaya melodiya (Hebrew Melody)  was written in 1859, a setting of a translation by Lermontov of the ninth of Byron’s Hebrew Melodies, My soul is dark - Oh! quickly string / The harp I yet can brook to hear. The song starts with a slow setting of the opening words, followed by more passionate music.
Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky was born in 1839, the fourth son of a land-owner and as a young officer had musical ambitions and, without any training in composition, tried his hand at an opera and less demanding compositions for the entertainment of his friends. It was a meeting with the nationalist composer César Cui, an expert in military fortification, and with the composer Dargomïzhsky, that led him to a more influential connection with Balakirev and Vladimir Stasov, Mussorgsky’s first biographer. The latter at first found little good to say of Mussorgsky, whom he found lacking in ideas and a complete idiot, a judgement in which Balakirev concurred at the time and over the following years. Mussorgsky resigned his commission in the army in 1858. Following the emancipation of the serfs in 1861, which brought financial consequences for land-owners, in 1863 he took a position as a clerk in the Ministry of Communications, and continued intermittently in government employment. It was from this time onwards that he developed his own highly original musical ideas and language, and his deep interest in the people and history of Russia. In 1867 he left the civil service and attempted to earn a living from music, as a teacher and accompanist, but then returned briefly to government service, before his bouts of drinking finally forced him to abandon this in 1880, after attempts by friends to protect his position. He died in March the following year, his death the result of epilepsy, induced by alcoholism, and leaving much unfinished, to be revised and edited by his colleague Rimsky-Korsakov.
Mussorgsky wrote songs throughout his life, the first at the age of nineteen and the last, and best known of all, in 1879. Mephistopheles’s Song in Auerbach’s Cellar  was written during the course of a concert tour that summer with the singer Darya Leonova, to whom it was dedicated. The ballad, taken from Part I of Goethe’s Faust, is a satire on court sycophancy. Svetskaya skazochka: kozyol (A Society Tale: The Goat)  was written in January 1868 and dedicated to Borodin. The text, by Mussorgsky, is described as A Worldly Story, in which a girl takes fright at an ugly old goat, but is happy to marry an ugly old man. The satire is emphasized by the repetition of the music of the first strophe for the second, more profitable encounter. Ozornik (Mischief) , dedicated to Stasov and with words by the composer, was written in 1867. In a rapid 5/4 the urchin insults the old woman, his taunts matched to the changing pace and dynamics of the singer. Seminarist (The Seminarist)  dates from 1866 and was dedicated to Glinka’s sister, Lyudmila Shestakova, an enthusiastic supporter. Mussorgsky’s text and setting contrast the dull repetition of third declension Latin nouns, the seminarian’s lascivious thoughts of the priest’s daughter, and the punishment he receives from his master. Pesni i piyaski smerti (Songs and Dances of Death) – date from 1875, with the fourth song written in 1877. Based on a suggestion from Stasov and with texts by Arseny Golenischchev-Kutuzov, the songs reflect encounters with death. In the first, Kolïbel’naya (Lullaby), Death lulls to final sleep a child, dying in his mother’s arms, and in the second, dedicated to Glinka’s sister, Death serenades a dying girl, claiming her as his own. In Trepak, dedicated to the bass Osip Petrov, Death dances with a drunken peasant, lured to die in the ice and snow. The fourth song, Polkovodets (The Field Marshal), dedicated to Kutuzov, presents a scene of battle, after which Death surveys the field, having conquered all.
César Cui was the son of a French army officer, who chose to remain in Russia after the defeat of Napoleon and the retreat from Moscow. His mother was Lithuanian, and Cui was brought up in the town of his birth, Vilnius, where his father taught French. Cui’s professional studies in military engineering took place in St Petersburg, where he was able to further his musical interests. He was to continue his career as a professor of military fortification, while devoting much of his time to the ideals of Balakirev, whom he had met in 1856. He became influential particularly as a critic and as a proponent of Russian ideals in music, regarding the allegedly European tendencies of the more cosmopolitan Rubinstein and Tchaikovsky with some disfavour. As a composer Cui won Balakirev’s early approval, particularly for his supposed achievement in opera with the early Prisoner in the Caucasus, followed by a version of Heine’s William Ratcliff. In addition to his stage works, Cui wrote songs and piano pieces in some profusion, larger scale choral works and a baker’s dozen of orchestral pieces. Perhaps wisely, he avoided the sustained intricacies of the symphony, but excelled in shorter forms, for which he is chiefly remembered.
Two of Cui’s songs are included here, both taken from his Twenty-Five Poems by Pushkin of 1899. Tsarskoselskaya Statya (The Statue at Tsarskoye Selo)  sets Pushkin’s poem about the statue of a girl with a broken pitcher in the pleasure gardens at Tsarskoye Selo, near St Petersburg, in pleasure grounds laid out during the rule of Catherine the Great. The girl sits in sadness, but water continues to flow from the broken pitcher. Ty i Vy (Thou and You)  loses its point in English, where distinction is no longer made between the intimate second personal singular and the formal second person plural. In Russian, as in many other languages, the difference remains, a reminder of Pierre’s hesitant approach in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, when he addresses the object of his affections with the formal usage. Both songs are admirable examples of Cui’s succinctness and gift for the miniature.
Born in 1844, Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov, perhaps the most successful of the Five, had first met Balakirev, Cui and Mussorgsky in 1861, but contact had been broken during a two-and-a-half-year tour of naval duty abroad. Following his childhood ambition and family tradition, he had entered the naval college in 1856, and only resigned his commission in 1873, after which he spent a dozen years as Inspector of Naval Bands. He had already been invited, in 1871, to join the staff of the Conservatory in St Petersburg, with which he continued a connection over the years, his tenure briefly interrupted in 1905, after the student unrest of that year. He was at first strongly influenced by Balakirev, but his involvement with Belyayev aroused Balakirev’s jealousy. Nevertheless his loyalty to the Five led him to spend much time on the revision and completion of works left unfinished by Mussorgsky and Borodin, after their early deaths. Rimsky-Korsakov acquired, above all, a degree of professionalism, displayed in his interest in and command of orchestration, and in the number of major compositions, including, significantly, a relatively large number of operas, the first staged in 1873 and the last, The Golden Cockerel, delayed for political reasons until 1909, a year after the composer’s death.
1866 brought the publication of the first groups of Rimsky-Korsakov’s songs, and the last were written in 1898. The final period, following the completion of the opera Sadko, brought some 47 new songs, leading him to contrast this productivity with the early years of the Five. The songs performed here include three settings of Pushkin, the first Prorok (The Prophet)  was written in 1897 and dedicated to Stasov. The imagery of Pushkin’s poem is reflected throughout the song, the meeting, in desert wandering, with a Seraph, the purification of his soul and divine inspiration. The gently poetic O chyom v tishi nochey (In the Quiet of the Night) , dedicated to Lyadov, a setting of a poem by Maykov, comes from the same year. The declamatory Na kholmakh Gruzii… (Upon the Georgian hills…) , with a poem from Pushkin, belongs to the early period of Rimsky-Korsakov’s song-writing, 1866, of which it is characteristic. The melancholy Pushkin setting Nenastnïy den’ potukh (The rainy day has waned) , dedicated to the composer’s wife, dates from 1897.
Alexander Borodin won international distinction as a professor of chemistry. His work as a composer was limited by his other duties and preoccupations, and at his death he left a number of compositions unfinished, to be completed by his friend Rimsky-Korsakov and others. Born in 1833, he was the illegitimate son of a Georgian prince, given the name of one of his father’s serfs. He was brought up by his mother in relatively privileged cultural surroundings that brought acquaintance with a number of Western European languages and a profound interest in music, a continuing enthusiasm that at times distracted him from his increasingly distinguished work as a scientist.
Four of the handful of songs left by Borodin at his early death in 1887 are included here. Chudnïy sad (The Miraculous Garden)  is a setting of the French poet Georges Collin’s Septain, translated by Borodin and set in 1885, a depiction, in its chromatic accompaniment, of the mystery of some great garden, with its formal paths and alleys.
Fal’shivaya nota (False Note) , with words by Borodin and dedicated to Mussorgsky, was written in 1868, reaching a climax at the detection of a false note in his beloved’s declaration of love. Iz slyoz moikh (From my tears)  is a translation by Mey of Heine’s Aus meinen Tränen, the deceptively simple setting composed in 1870–71 and reflecting the feelings of the text in which tears and sighs are the source of flowers and the singing of nightingales, to be laid at the feet of the beloved. Pesnya tyomnogo lesa (Song of the Dark Forest) , with words by Borodin, was written in 1868 and explores the depths of a very Russian dark forest.

The acclaimed director walked away from the film after the tragic suicide of his daughter Autumn and Warner Bros introduced in Avengers director Joss Whedon, from rival comedian e book home Marvel, to complete the mission.
Whedon’s model altered the characters, modified the story — and produced a muddled mess that outraged followers, irritated critics and earned lower than half of what the Avengers films took.
Years of fan stress — helped by the COVID-19 film shutdown — has lastly seen Warner Bros give Snyder the possibility to revive his model.
The ensuing four-hour “Snyder Reduce” is launched worldwide at this time and might solely be watched in Australia on Foxtel or on BINGE from 6pm tonight. A particular screening hosted by BINGE in Melbourne final evening noticed leagues of superfans gathering in Cosplay costumes, delighted to lastly see the long-awaited epic.
Snyder by no means noticed the 2017 model after his spouse Deborah, who was a producer on the film, advised him he must not ever see it.
“We had walked away and that was that,” Deborah mentioned.
“We did what we would have liked to do personally and for our household. So to return and see one thing so radically totally different … it was tough for me to observe, to see one thing that didn’t have the identical DNA.
“I knew it might be much more tough for Zack, as a director who lives and breathes this, to see it.”
She mentioned the Snyders had spent 11 years engaged on his imaginative and prescient for the legendary DC heroes, beginning with making ready and filming 2013’s Man Of Metal. If all had gone properly, Justice League would have been adopted by two extra sequels.
For this movie, Snyder threw away all of the Whedon scenes, restored his personal and has devoted the brand new lower to his daughter Autumn, with a model of her favorite music, Hallelujah, enjoying by the credit.
In some ways this film is sort of a baby of his, which made watching what had been executed to it in 2017 simply too tough.
“Have I ever had some curiosity in watching the (2017) film?” Snyder mentioned.
“You already know, not likely … slightly bit in fact — what did they do, what occurred to my factor?
“They sewed an arm on the chest of the … I didn’t know what they did!
“I did have some curiosity however after Chris (award-winning director and producer Christopher Nolan) and Deb sat me down and had been like: ‘Don’t do this, don’t ever do this’, I used to be like: OK, I belief you guys’.”
The excellent news is the Snyder Reduce is a coherent story that makes way more of The Flash (Ezra Miller) and significantly Cyborg (Ray Fisher).
Cyborg’s story of loss and discovering new goal by his associates is one that actually resonates with Snyder, who mentioned this character is his favorite superhero — beating out Superman, Batman and Marvel Lady.
“He has to undergo this huge therapeutic course of and I believe for us as a household and for this film, it’s extremely poignant,” he mentioned.
“(His story) actually sort of tracks that sort of catharsis you expertise after any sort of tragedy.”
Though the Snyder Reduce weighs in at 4 hours, it has six chapters and an epilogue that function pure breaks and so it’s ideally suited to streaming. And whereas his characters could also be superheroes, however Snyder recognises that his viewers are mere mortals who may have breaks to “go to the lavatory or go and get your meals”.


COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) - For residents waiting at the tax office to pay fees, those long lines could be eliminated.
Tax commissioner Lula Huff says the transition can happen with a software upgrade called Oasis.
Huff laid out the plan to city leaders on Tuesday. It consists of installing a $4.5 million upgrade that would allow residents to pay their fees online with the option of mailing in checks or paying in person. There are also other benefits to the new software.
"You can now have 24 hour a day access to your real property data that we have in our system by simply going to the internet and pulling it up," Huff explained. "It's going to be accurate, it's going to be timely. As soon as I put it in, you've got it available to you. So that's terrific for us."
Columbus council did not take a vote on the new software today; they plan to hold a work session next Tuesday to hash out the details and timeline for installing and assessing the city's current hardware.

First, you will want to collect a variety of leaves to use. You can use any type of leaf but you will want a variety of colors. Sort the leaves out into different color piles. It is hard to see but I have 5 color groups (dark red/purple, red, orange, yellow and green).
You will also need small mason jars for each of the leave colors (I used pint sized jars). A bottle of rubbing alcohol, coffee filters, and a large glass container are also needed.
After the leaves are crushed up, place them into the mason jar. Then pour rubbing alcohol into the jars so that the crushed leaves are completely covered. Place the jars into a large glass cake pan. Pour boiling water into the cake pan so that the jars have about an inch of hot water around them. This will warm up the alcohol which will help draw the pigments out of the leaves. Let the leaves sit for about 30 minutes in the alcohol.
Cut strips from the coffee filters that measure about 1" x 5". You will need one strip for each leaf color. After that 30 minute wait time, you should see the pigments of the leaves in the rubbing alcohol.
Place the strips into the jars so that the other end is hanging outside of the cake pan. (Be careful not to get the other end wet. Let them sit for at least an hour. You will see the pigments slowly rise up the coffee filter paper. Here are a few pictures of the filter papers after. You can see that the red and the dark red/purple had the most dramatic pigment bands.
Plants use the process of photosynthesis to convert light energy into food energy. They absorb the sunlight using pigments in their leaves. The main pigment that leaves use is chlorophyll. The chlorophyll could either be chlorophyll a (bluish-green) or chlorophyll b (yellowish-green). During the growing season, leaves contain more chlorophyll. This is why most leaves appear green. There are other pigments in the leaves but chlorophyll is the most dominate.
The other pigments in leaves start to appear in the fall when chlorophyll starts to break down. Other pigments could be xanthophyll (yellow color), carotenoid (orange color) or anthocyanin (dark red/purple color).

Peter Turchin sees disaster brewing as the West has overproduced a restless, revolutionary, elite
Is the study of history a science? Peter Turchin thinks so. The Russian-American “complexity scientist” departs from the traditional view of history as a subject in the humanities and is among the leaders of a faction who believe history adheres to social science’s rigid rules and abstract theories the way homo economicus behaves in the economic realm.
Readers should decide which history church they belong to before they crack open Peter Turchin’s catechism of historical social science, End Times. Nonetheless, even the most humane of humanists, someone who would otherwise bristle at Turchin’s mechanistic approach to history, will benefit from the mountain of data he has compiled and analyzed.

Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use messenger RNA (mRNA) to encourage your cells to initiate an immune response to SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus that causes COVID-19. Iowans age 12-17 can only receive the Pfizer vaccine.
Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine uses a vector (carrier) to provide our cells DNA instructions on how to create COVID-19 spike proteins that will initiate an immune response. The vector used in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a harmless adenovirus (like the common cold) that has been modified so it won’t be able to replicate or cause illness. Iowans age 18 and older can have the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines.

What are the steps of chemical digestion?
- It mixes and stores food until it can be further digested.
- It secretes chemicals that help break the food into more digestible forms.
- It controls the passage of food into the small intestine.
What type of chemical digestion occurs in the stomach?
Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and the duodenum through the action of three primary enzymes: Pepsin, secreted by the stomach. Trypsin, secreted by the pancreas.
What two organs perform physical and chemical digestion?
The organs that perform both mechanical digestion and chemical digestion are the mouth and the stomach.
Where does chemical digestion begin and end?
Chemical digestion occurs when acids, enzymes and other secretions break down the food we eat into nutrients. Chemical digestion starts in the mouth and continues in the stomach, but most of the process occurs in the small intestine.
What are the four main functions of the gastrointestinal system?
Motility, digestion, absorption and secretion are the four vital functions of the digestive system.
Is digesting food a physical or chemical change?
Chemical digestion is considered a chemical change because enzymes in the stomach and intestines break down large macromolecules into simpler molecules so that the body can more easily absorb the food.
What is digestion and absorption?
Digestion is the chemical breakdown of the ingested food into absorbable molecules. Absorption refers to the movement of nutrients, water and electrolytes from the lumen of the small intestine into the cell, then into the blood.
Which exercise is best for digestion?
These exercises can help aid in digestion and may even cut down belly fat:
- Brisk walking. Walking is one of the most simplest exercise to include in your workout regime.
- Cycling. A bike ride is also quite effective in the smooth functioning of the digestive system.
- Breathing exercise.
How do we take care your digestive system?
For better digestive health, follow these simple tips:
- Eat a high-fiber diet.
- Be sure you’re getting both soluble and insoluble fiber.
- Minimize your intake of foods high in fat.
- Select lean meats.
- Add probiotics to your diet.
- Follow a regular eating schedule.
- Drink plenty of water.
What are the 14 steps of digestion?
The digestive processes are ingestion, propulsion, mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption, and defecation.
What helps chemical digestion?
- Enzymes are biological catalysts which speed up the rate of a chemical reaction (i.e. digestion) by lowering activation energy.
- Enzymes allow digestive processes to therefore occur at body temperatures and at sufficient speeds for survival requirements.
Which two parts of the digestive system do both chemical and mechanical digestion?
Both mechanical and chemical digestion occur in the mouth. Teeth grind and break up food (mechanical), while an enzyme in saliva called amylase begins to break down carbohydrates (chemical).
Where does most digestion and absorption occur?
Does chemical digestion occur in the stomach?
There is significant chemical digestion in the stomach. Two types of glands exist in the gastric mucosa that aid in chemical digestion: oxyntic glands and pyloric glands. Oxyntic glands are located in the body of the stomach and contain parietal cells and chief cells.
Why can digestion be both physical and chemical?
In the digestive process, your body breaks down these compounds by both physical and chemical processes. The digestive system involves both kinds of changes because food molecules are large and complex. Food must be broken down into much smaller pieces before our bodies can absorb it.
How does absorption work in the digestive system?
The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream.
How do I activate my digestive system?
The 11 Best Ways to Improve Your Digestion Naturally
- Eat Real Food. Share on Pinterest Photography by Aya Brackett.
- Get Plenty of Fiber. It’s common knowledge that fiber is beneficial for good digestion.
- Add Healthy Fats to Your Diet. Good digestion may require eating enough fat.
- Stay Hydrated.
- Manage Your Stress.
- Eat Mindfully.
- Chew Your Food.
- Get Moving.
Which best describes the physical and chemical digestion of food?
Which best describes the physical and chemical digestion of food? Physical and chemicall digestion occur in the small intestine; only chemical digestion occurs in the mouth. Only physical digestion occurs in the stomach; chemical and physical digestion occur in the large intestine.

Lake of the Ozarks firefighters respond to multiple calls this week
CAMDENTON, Mo. (KY3) - Firefighters with the Mid-County Fire Protection District responded to multiple calls for service this week, including a condo fire.
”Probably the biggest challenge, especially with that condominium fire, was the wind. And the construction of it. This was an older building built in the 90s. So the fire was able to kind of, like, run the plume of it to go up the stairs, up the stairs up the wall, because it had no real fire breaks in there,” said Division Chief Lianne Johnson.
One firefighter suffered injuries in the house fire.
”He had minor injuries and he was sent home. So he’s doing okay,” said Division Chief Johnson.
The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
“We weren’t able to find the area of origin, the origin, we were not able to pinpoint it down exactly. There was some wiring in there some other things. So we’ve left that for the insurance companies to figure out. We got as far as to know it’s an accidental fire,” said Division Chief Johnson.
While that was going on, brush fires happened across the area. The back-to-back calls became daunting for firefighters.
“It made it challenging. A condo fire in itself will wear our guys out pretty quickly. So to put back-to-back calls on that, we had lots of calls where our guys came back they weren’t able to get our trucks back into service which means where they’re ready to roll out to another incident so they were having to roll out some of our other trucks that were in service and then we had to leave some guys back to try to put those trucks back in service,” said Division Chief Johnson.
With windy weather conditions, fire officials remind you not to burn.
