As stated in an earlier article on this blog, I love to get real comments from real people. Kevin Casey wrote a short comment as follows.
Do you accept demos from Irish rock bands?
A sensible first comment as it is unlikely to get chucked out by the spam filter. However a link to your website is always permissible in the URL field. Makes it easier to find your tunes and decide if I want to write about you.
Nevertheless I did a search of Kevin's email address and very quickly found his musician Facebook page. From there I have also found his Reverbnation profile which means I can embed some music.
By now, any regular readers will be well aware that I wouldn't have written this much if I didn't think the music was good.
The third song on the playlist, "I'll Be Back Someday", is available for a free download and does remind me strongly of something that a Gallagher might have done.
After extensive Googling of the lyrics and various other terms I think it is all Kevin's own work.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Mr Casey has a wealth of varied and excellent music that ranges in style from slow moody acoustic to jumping alt pop with a detour via full on rock, and he appears to do this single handed. Like so many underground musicians currently he is achieving a full band sound with one man.
I would be interested to know how he gts around the problems of getting that full sound live. Does he do what the likes of Sam Dowden, Buffalo ink and Funke and the Two Tone Baby, do and harness technology? Or does he engage musicians for the tour like Phil Lively Masters of Canyon Ryde, or James Hughes of Boardwalk Isabella for example?
Or does he simply strip it bare for the live stuff?
One of the fun things about writing articles like this without necessarily knowing everything about the artist, is the prospect of them reading it and laughing at my ignorance before filling in the blanks.
Right, sorry about this, but I am going to publish now, even though I am not happy that this article is finished. My daughter is hassling me to play Moshi Monsters and I can't hold her off forever.
Maybe I'll come back and edit this a bit later.
How are you? I read the article you published and I just wanted to thank you and also shed some light on "I'll be back someday". It is in fact my own song. It is a song I released to test the water as a solo artist after parting from a band I fronted for 11 years. However the lyrics of the song are nothing to do with my departure from the band.
I really enjoyed reading the blog and I really appreciate the research you did.I would also be open to talk to more if you needed any more info about me.
It's a pleasure to write about you and to dig around your online presence finding out stuff to write.
I'd welcome additional info and especially any updates, new releases, etc.
Happy new year. Great, tnx. Well basically 2014 is the year where I'm really trying to get down to business . Late in December I released "one mans war" which is the first track off my upcoming album.
It is one of the more subtle songs from an otherwise aggressive album of songs addressing the corruption of the political and banking system here in Ireland as well as the suffering of ordinary people.
So this year is hopefully going to be a good year for my music I have a lot of faith in these songs and I hope they are received well.

Rodney King Was Smoking Weed And Drinking "All Day" Prior To Drowning: Fiancee
by James King
L.A.P.D. punching bag Rodney King died over the weekend, and his fiancee is telling friends that he was drinking all day and smoking weed prior to drowning in his pool early yesterday morning.
TMZ reports that friends close to King, 47, say his fiancee, Cynthia Kelley, is saying King was sitting around the house drinking all day Saturday, and smoked weed at some point before she went to bed about 2 a.m.
She says she woke up about 5 a.m. to a naked King in the couple's backyard screaming and pounding on a door.
"What's wrong, Rodney," Kelley reportedly yelled out to the apparently drunk and stoned (and naked) King.
Kelly says she then went to grab her phone when she heard a "big
splash." She went outside and found King at the bottom of the pool and
called police.
Paramedics attempted to revive King, but were unsuccessful.
King — who achieved notoriety when four L.A. cops beat the crap out of
him after he was stopped for speeding down a freeway after drinking with
friends — has a long history of addiction.
The medical examiner is expected to conduct an autopsy later today to determine the specific cause of death.

.. _python-api-overview:

=================================
Overview of the Python API Client
=================================

Introduction
============

The API client provides convenient access to Review Board Web API
resources, and makes performing REST operations simple. The API is
accessed by instantiating the :py:class:`rbtools.api.client.RBClient`
class. Here is an example of how to instantiate the client, and retrieve
the :ref:`webapi2.0-root-resource` resource::

   from rbtools.api.client import RBClient

   client = RBClient('http://localhost:8080/')
   root = client.get_root()

Links Between Resources
=======================

Resources are linked together using `hyperlinks`_ in the payload.
Accessing the hyperlinks, and retrieving the linked resources is
accomplished using method calls on a resource. A method of the form
``get_<link>`` will be created for each link. The special operation
links ``create``, ``delete``, and ``update`` are exceptions and are
not prefixed with ``get_``.

For example, the following links payload will result in a resource
with ``get_self``, ``create``, and ``get_some_sub_resource`` methods.

.. code-block:: javascript

    {
      "links": {
        "self": {
          "href": "/path/to/whatever",
          "method": "GET"
        },
        "create": {
          "href": "/path/to/whatever",
          "method": "POST"
        },
        "some_sub_resource": {
          "href": "/path/to/whatever/some-sub-resource",
          "method": "GET"
        }
      }
    }

Calling any of the link methods will cause a request to the Review
Board server and a resource constructed from the response to be
returned. For example, assuming ``resource`` is a resource constructed
with the previously shown links payload, retrieving ``some_sub_resource``
could be accomplished with the following code::

   some_sub_resource = resource.get_some_sub_resource()

To specify fields for links causing ``'POST'`` or ``'PUT'`` requests,
the values of the field should be passed using a keyword argument matching
the field's name. The following example uses the ``update`` link
of a :ref:`webapi2.0-review-request-draft-resource` to publish the
draft::

   # Retrieve the review draft for review request 1
   # using the root resources uri template.
   draft = root.get_draft(review_request_id=1)

   # Publish the draft.
   draft = draft.update(public=True)

.. _hyperlinks: http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/webapi/2.0/overview/#hyperlinks

Accessing Resource Data
=======================

Accessing the fields contained in a resource payload is accomplished
using attributes of the resource object. Each field in the payload
under the resource's main key will be accessed through an attribute of
the same name. This also applies to fields contained within another
field.

The following payload from the :ref:`webapi2.0-server-info-resource`
will be used as an example.

.. code-block:: javascript

   {
     "info": {
       "capabilities": {
         "diffs": {
           "moved_files": true
         }
       },
       "product": {
         "is_release": true,
         "name": "Review Board",
         "package_version": "1.7beta1",
         "version": "1.7 beta 1"
       },
       "site": {
         "administrators": [
           {
             "email": "admin@example.com",
             "name": "Example Admin"
           }
         ],
         "time_zone": "UTC",
         "url": "http://example.com/"
       }
     },
     "stat": "ok"
   }

To demonstrate how the data from this payload would be accessed, the following
is a short example::

   # Retrieve the info resource using the root resources
   # info link.
   info = root.get_info()

   # Print the product version ("1.7 beta 1").
   print info.product.version

   # Print the only administrator's name ("Example Admin")
   print info.site.administrators[0].name

.. note::
   While using attributes is the preferred way of accessing fields
   on a resource, using the `[]` operator is also supported.
   The following would have also worked in the previous example::

      info['product']['version']

Request Parameters
==================

Some resources in the Web API allow query arguments to be passed with
the request to alter what should be returned as the response. The
supported request parameters are unique to each resource, and are
listed on each resource's documentation page.

Query arguments are added to a request by specifying keyword arguments
when calling the method. A number of the request parameters use the
'-' character, which should be replaced by an underscore when
specified as a keyword argument (e.g. ``max-results`` would become
``max_results``).

The following is an example which uses the ``counts-only`` and
``status`` request parameters on the
:ref:`webapi2.0-review-request-list-resource`, to get a count of pending
review requests::

   # Make a request for the list of pending review requests.
   # Specify counts-only so only the number of results is returned.
   requests = root.get_review_requests(counts_only=True, status="pending")

   # Print the number of pending review requests
   print requests.count

Resource Specific Details
=========================

The API provides additional functionality for a number of resources.
Specific information can be found in
:ref:`python-api-resource-specific-functionality`.


Powered by the latest DECT7 wireless technology, the APX377 connects you to team members in full-duplex conversation, just like a conference call.
Powered by the latest DECT7 wireless technology, the APX377 connects you to team members in full-duplex conversation, just like a conference call. No delays, no buttons to push and no clipping or interference. Multi-channel capability lets multiple teams operate simultaneously in the same work area. Push-to-talk or monitor virtually any portable two-way radio via a direct-wire cable connection (wired portable radio adapter required, radio not included). Noise canceling and auto-leveling microphones ensure you are heard clearly as you move from low- to high-noise areas. Stereo Listen-Through situational awareness lets you hear your surroundings and have face-to-face conversations while protected from dangerous noise levels. Watertight and verified and validated to perform in extreme environments, the APX377 protects your hearing while you get the job done.
ADVANCED HEARING PROTECTION WITHOUT ISOLATION Stereo Listen-Through – We have found the most common issue with hearing protection is the isolation users feel when wearing them. We added Stereo Listen-Through to all of our Apex 3-Series headsets for critical situational awareness.
20dB NRR – With 20dB of certified NRR protection, our headsets are ready to go where you need to be.
RUGGED We know your job may take you anywhere, so we designed our headset to go anywhere you do.
COLOR YOUR TEAM Silicone Ruggedizers – Know at a glance who is who on the job. Define teams, roles, communication profiles or individuals. Adds extra impact protection and abrasion resistance.
Auto-Leveling Microphone – Automatically detects your voice against background noise, enabling an automatic VOX (noise gate or squelch) that needs no adjustment when transitioning between areas of different noise levels.
Automatic Loud Noise Suppression – Limits high impulse sounds such as gunshots when using the Stereo Listen-Through feature.
In-Headset Charging – Charge from multiple sources, including the supplied AC wall adapter. DC charging from most cars, trucks, and aircraft. Refer to specifications for charging voltages and power requirements.
Light Weight – Use of the latest weight saving technologies delivers a wireless headset that is lighter than many wired communication headsets.
Long Battery Life – Over 24 hours of battery life on DECT7 headsets, means they are ready to work whenever you need them.
Personal Sound Dosimeter – Measures and records sound levels inside the ear cup cavity over a period of up to 24 hours to ensure compliance with noise exposure limits. Remembers the Time Weighted Average even when turned off (memory will reset after being turned off for 6 hours), and will average the last 24 hours continuously. Programmable audible alerts send a voice prompt to the user notifying them of the last 24 hours of exposure. The system automatically adjusts inputs (Listen-Through, AUX, Bluetooth, and sidetone) to ensure compliance with hearing protection standards. For reference use only.
Radio PTT – The headset interfaces with any two-way portable radio using the wired AUX input or wireless DECT7 connection. When there is a wireless DECT7 connection, PTT signals pass to the DECT7 Wireless Base Station and then to the Digital Intercom. If no DECT7 connects is available, PTT signals pass to the wired AUX input.
Voice Prompts – Change any setting without removing your headset. No need to look for lights, text, or knob positions. Voice prompts automatically adjust the volume to ensure intelligibility in changing environments.
Wired Line-in – Connect to cell phones, handheld radios, and other mobile devices. The wired connection features a mono input. See your Sonetics dealer for accessories to match your equipment.
Wireless DECT7 Communications – Full duplex, conference call-like communication with others on the same channel. Connects with a DECT7 Wireless Base Stations or an IP-DECT7 wireless system. Provides up to 1,600 ft. line-of-sight range to the wireless base. The standard further ensures interference-free and digitally encrypted communications among all parties.
Wireless DECT Backwards Compatibility – The wireless headset is backward compatible with the Sonetics first generation wireless DECT and DECT6 Wireless Base Stations with minimal loss in functionality.
Wireless DECT7 Broadcast Mode – The headset may be paired into a listen-only mode of operation, reducing power consumption considerably. This also allows many more headsets to be connected to a Wireless Base Station simultaneously. Pressing the Radio PTT button allows the headset to momentarily talk on any available open slot. A tone will let the user know when they can talk. Refer to the Wireless DECT7 Base Station manual for details.
Wireless DECT7 Wide Band Audio – The wireless DECT7 communications are transmitted in a high definition wideband audio format. This allows greater intelligibility of the user and integration with voice-activated control systems. This feature is defeatable to allow the user to be in a narrow band audio communication.


Space Shuttle Columbia (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-102) was the first space-rated Space Shuttle in NASA's orbiter fleet. It launched for the first time on mission STS-1 on 12 April 1981, the first flight of the Space Shuttle program. Over 22 years of service it completed 27 missions before disintegrating during re-entry near the end of its 28th mission, STS-107 on 1 February 2003, resulting in the deaths of all seven crew members.
Columbia in the Orbiter Processing Facility after delivery to Kennedy Space Center in 1979.
Consequently, President Bush decided to retire the Shuttle orbiter fleet by 2010 in favor of the Constellation program and its manned Orion spacecraft. The Constellation program was later cancelled with the NASA Authorization Act of 2010 signed by President Obama on October 11.
Externally, Columbia was the first orbiter in the fleet whose surface was mostly covered with High & Low Temperature Reusable Surface Insulation (HRSI/LRSI) tiles as its main thermal protection system (TPS), with white silicone rubber-painted Nomex — known as Felt Reusable Surface Insulation (FRSI) blankets – in some areas on the wings, fuselage and payload bay doors. FRSI once covered almost 25% of the orbiter; the first upgrade resulted in its removal from many areas, and in later flights it was only used on the upper section of the payload bay doors and inboard sections of the upper wing surfaces. The upgrade also involved replacing many of the white LRSI tiles on the upper surfaces with Advanced Flexible Reusable Surface Insulation (AFRSI) blankets (also known as Fibrous Insulation Blankets, or FIBs) that had been used on Discovery and Atlantis. Originally, Columbia had 32,000 tiles – the upgrade reduced this to 24,300. The AFRSI blankets consisted of layers of pure silica felt sandwiched between a layer of silica fabric on the outside and S-Glass fabric on the inside, stitched together using pure silica thread in a 1-inch grid, then coated with a high-purity silica coating. The blankets were semi-rigid and could be made as large as 30" by 30". Each blanket replaced as many as 25 tiles and was bonded directly to the orbiter. The direct application of the blankets to the orbiter resulted in weight reduction, improved durability, reduced fabrication and installation cost, and reduced installation schedule time. All of this work was performed during Columbia's first retrofitting and the post-Challenger stand-down.
Until its last refit, Columbia was the only operational orbiter with wing markings consisting of an American flag on the port (left) wing and the letters "USA" on the starboard (right) wing. Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour all, until 1998, bore markings consisting of the letters "USA" below an American flag on the left wing, and the pre-1998 NASA "worm" logo afore the respective orbiter's name on the right wing. (Enterprise, the test vehicle which was the prototype for Columbia, originally had the same wing markings as Columbia but with the letters "USA" on the right wing spaced closer together; Enterprise's markings were modified to match Challenger in 1983.) The name of the orbiter was originally placed on the payload bay doors much like Enterprise but was placed on the crew cabin after the Challenger disaster so that the orbiter could be easily identified while in orbit. From its last refit to its destruction, Columbia bore markings identical to those of its operational sister orbiters – the NASA "meatball" logo on the left wing and the American flag afore the orbiter's name on the right; only Columbia's distinctive wing "chines" remained. These black areas on the upper surfaces of the shuttle's forward wing were added because, at first, shuttle designers did not know how reentry heating would affect the craft's upper wing surfaces. The "chines" allowed Columbia to be easily recognized at a distance, as opposed to the subsequent orbiters. The "chines" were added after Columbia arrived at KSC in 1979.
Another unique external feature, termed the "SILTS" pod, was located on the top of Columbia's vertical stabilizer, and was installed after STS-9 to acquire infrared and other thermal data. Though the pod's equipment was removed after initial tests, NASA decided to leave it in place, mainly to save costs, along with the agency's plans to use it for future experiments. The vertical stabilizer was later modified to incorporate the drag chute first used on Endeavour in 1992.
Columbia's 'career' would have started to wind down after STS-118. It was to service the Hubble Space Telescope two more times between 2004 and 2005, but no more missions were planned for it again except for a mission designated STS-144 where it would retrieve the Hubble Space Telescope from orbit and bring it back to Earth. Following the Columbia accident, NASA flew the STS-125 mission using Atlantis, combining the planned fourth and fifth servicing missions into one final mission to Hubble. Because of the retirement of the Space Shuttle fleet, the batteries and gyroscopes that keep the telescope pointed will eventually fail also because of the magnifier screen, which would result in its reentry and break-up in Earth's atmosphere. A "Soft Capture Docking Mechanism", based on the docking adapter that was to be used on the Orion spacecraft, was installed during the last servicing mission in anticipation of this event.
Only time a space shuttle landed at the White Sands Space Harbor.
Columbia was destroyed at about 09:00 EST on February 1, 2003 while re-entering the atmosphere after a 16-day scientific mission. The Columbia Accident Investigation Board determined that a hole was punctured in the leading edge on one of Columbia's wings, made of a carbon composite. The hole had formed when a piece of insulating foam from the external fuel tank peeled off during the launch 16 days earlier and struck the shuttle's left wing. During the intense heat of re-entry, hot gases penetrated the interior of the wing, destroying the support structure and causing the rest of the shuttle to break apart. The nearly 84,000 pieces of collected debris of the vessel are stored in a 16th floor office suite in the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center. The collection was opened to the media once and has since been open only to researchers. Unlike Challenger, which had a replacement orbiter built, Columbia did not.
The debris field encompassed hundreds of miles across Northeast Texas and into Louisiana. The nose cap and remains of all seven crew members were found in Sabine County, East Texas.
To honor those who lost their lives aboard the shuttle and during the recovery efforts, the Patricia Huffman Smith NASA Museum "Remembering Columbia" was opened in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. The museum tells the story of Space Shuttle Columbia explorations throughout all its missions, including the final STS-107. Its exhibits also show the efforts of local citizens during the recovery period of the Columbia shuttle debris and its crew's remains. An area is dedicated to each STS-107 crew member, and also to the Texas Forest Service helicopter pilot who died in the recovery effort. The museum houses many objects and artifacts from: NASA and its contractors; the families of the STS-107 crew; and other individuals. The crew's families contributed personal items of the crew members to be on permanent display. The museum features two interactive simulator displays that emulate activities of the shuttle and orbiter. The digital learning center and its classroom provide educational opportunities for all ages.
The Columbia Memorial Space Center is the U.S. national memorial for the Space Shuttle Columbia's seven crew members. It is located in Downey on the site of the Space Shuttle's origins and production, the former North American Aviation plant in Los Angeles County, southern California. The facility is also a hands-on learning center with interactive exhibits, workshops, and classes about space science, astronautics, and the Space Shuttle program's legacy — providing educational opportunities for all ages.
The shuttle's final crew was honored in 2003 when the United States Board on Geographic Names approved the name Columbia Point for a 13,980-foot (4,260 m) mountain in Colorado's Sangre de Cristo Mountains, less than a half-mile from Challenger Point, a peak named after America's other lost shuttle. The Columbia Hills on Mars were also named in honor of the crew, and a host of other memorials were dedicated in various forms.
Guitarist Steve Morse of the rock band Deep Purple wrote the instrumental "Contact Lost" in response to the news of the tragedy, recorded by Deep Purple and featured as the closing track on their 2003 album "Bananas". It was dedicated to the astronauts whose lives were lost in the disaster. Morse donated songwriting royalties to the families of lost astronauts. Astronaut and mission specialist engineer Kalpana Chawla, one of the victims of the accident, was a fan of Deep Purple and had exchanged e-mails with the band during the flight, making the tragedy even more personal for the group. She took three CDs into space with her, two of which were Deep Purple albums (Machine Head and Purpendicular). Both CDs survived the destruction of the shuttle and the 39-mile plunge.
The musical group Echo's Children included singer-songwriter Cat Faber's "Columbia" on their final album "From the Hazel Tree."
The Long Winters band's 2005 album "Ultimatum" features the song "The Commander Thinks Aloud", a tribute to the final Columbia crew.
The Eric Johnson instrumental "Columbia" from his 2005 album Bloom was written as a commemoration and tribute to the lives that were lost. Johnson said "I wanted to make it more of a positive message, a salute, a celebration rather than just concentrating on a few moments of tragedy, but instead the bigger picture of these brave people's lives."
In Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon Yellow a model of the Space Shuttle can be seen on the second floor of the Pewter City Museum.
The beginning of Kate Bush's song Hello Earth, from the Hounds of Love album, samples signals to and from Columbia during a re-entry during the early 1980s.
Homer Hickam's novel Back to the Moon is mostly set on Columbia. The structural differences between Columbia and the other shuttles is central to the plot.
In the finale of the first season of The West Wing, "What Kind of Day Has It Been", the Columbia does not land on schedule due to technical problems with a door mechanism. Toby Ziegler's brother is on board. The shuttle lands successfully by the end of the episode.

Georgia songwriter Brent Cobb has been out on the road bolstering his name recognition in 2018 as one of the opening acts on Chris Stapleton's All-American Road Show tour, and now as that tour winds down, Brent Cobb has ordered up a bunch of new tour dates coming up in 2019.
It seems like just a few short years ago we were thinking about William Clark Green as the "Next Big Thing." Now all the young frat bros in Lubbock have moved on to Koe Wetzel, and William Clark Green has graduated to headliner status. His new album 'Hebert Island' finds the songwriter settling into his established career.
Texas music and independent country continue to gain market share and offer a better, and more healthy alternative to the mainstream, and we're continuing to see this reflected in the ever-expanding festival space. A new festival in Oregon is gearing up to offer the Pacific Northwest their first taste of the Texas festival experience.
Should "Texoma" Be The New Term for the Indefinable "Texas Country/Red Dirt" Scene?
The problem with the whole Texas Music/Texas Country/Red Dirt "scene" is just that—what to call it. Texas Country is not really Red Dirt, even though the two regularly get lazily lumped together. Texas Country and Texas Music are separate things as well, but once again get summarily bundled. Yet all of these things are intertwined.
The Bowen Musicfest hosted by Texas music star Wade Bowen has just announced its 19th Annual, 2017 lineup, and it's a doozy. Maybe the best yet. Folks will pack themselves into Indian Springs Park in Waco, TX on Sunday, June 4th for the festivities, all benefiting the Bowen Family Foundation.
Scheduled to take place this year between April 18th to the 23rd, the Larry Joe Taylor Festival will welcome an estimated 50,000 people through the gates over 6 days, and feature music on three stages from over 50 bands at the Melody Mountain Ranch in Stephenville, TX. One of the biggest and oldest music festivals in the country, Larry Joe Taylor Fest has been going on for over a quarter century.
Ringling Road is a vibrant and well-written pronouncement of William Clark Green's arrival as one of the new creative leaders of the next generation of country. The sensibilities to appeal to a big audience are there, but so are the country roots, and the depth of songwriting to where he can draw in both the passive toe-tappers and die hard song junkies.

(posted for Stephane Boyera, traveling in Kenya and Uganda)The cost of acsescing internet and therefore the Web is indeed a barrier. I just want to make two comments:- the prices are largely impacted by regulations, taxation and competition. It is essential that government promote access and use of the Web by adopting appropriate regulatory framework. This is a point we are making each time we are meeting with officials and government.- the second point, which is more in the scope of the Web Foundation, is on the notion of return on investment. It is indeed expensive to access the Web today, but it is far more important to note that there is a lack of content and services that could really improve the lives of people acsescing them. As a comparison, telecom operators thought 6-7 years ago that people in developing countries would not be able to afford mobile telephony. We know the situation today. This was due to both a change in the business model (prepaid vs postpaid) and to the fact that person-to-person communication really is a critical service in many activities, and really ease and improve people lives.I believe that it is possible to create a circle of value where new locally-oriented content and services will motivate more people to use the Web, which in turns will extend the market, bring more players and competitions, and attract entrepreneurs, lower price of access, enable more services to be developed, and attracting more people (and so on).For more details on this topic, you might be interested to look at the related section in the .

A Guide to ESG Strategies for Municipal Bond Investors
Invest for Purpose Municipals Responsible Investing (ESG) Fixed Income Blog
Municipal bond investors increasingly want to apply environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations to their portfolios. But, given a broad spectrum of approaches, knowing where to start can be challenging.
We've identified three key strategies for incorporating ESG into muni investing, each with a distinct approach that appeals to different investor objectives. Below, we provide an investor guide to ESG integration, screening and impact investing.
Integration: Measuring ESG Across Muni Portfolios
ESG integration is the process of incorporating ESG factors across a portfolio to gauge its risk and return potential more accurately. It's a familiar theme in equity and taxable bond portfolios, but still evolving in the muni market, where issuers outnumber US investment-grade corporate issuers by 4 to 1.
Why do it? Because ESG factors can—and often do—directly impact an issuer's bottom line. In fact, ESG-related breaches can lead to downgrades, lawsuits and looming financial burdens. Conversely, issuers that score high on ESG measures may represent exceptional value, since relative strengths and weaknesses may not be apparent without an ESG lens.
Managers who can discern among ESG laggards and leaders will have a leg up on the muni market, which typically doesn't yet make such distinctions. That makes ESG integration suitable for all muni investors. From short to long duration, from national to state-specific and from high grade to high yield, every muni strategy can benefit from this additional scrutiny.
To root out potential laggards, managers must ask tough questions. Is that city's drinking water safe (E)? What's the town's high school graduation rate (S)? How intense is local government's political gridlock (G)? We favor a scoring model, applied consistently across issuers, that rates attributes on a scale of 1 to 10. These metrics boil down to a final ESG score, which helps us discern among undervalued bond issues and potential investments whose outsized ESG risks warrant more yield (Display).

Screening: Customizing According to Investor Preferences
Some muni investors may want to apply ESG screening to avoid specific issuers based on personal considerations and values. For instance, some avoid utilities that rely heavily on coal for power generation or healthcare systems with poor reputations; others may prioritize air quality, income equity or women's empowerment. A muni screening strategy can customize portfolios based on what investors care about most (Display).
Examples of ESG Muni Screening, Which Is More Personalized
As with integration, muni ESG screening starts with the broad $4 trillion muni bond universe. But after applying ESG screens, managers can further eliminate lower-scoring issuers within the investor's selected themes.
Given the muni market's vastness, this kind of screening isn't easy. Few managers have made the big technological commitment required to gather the data and to screen portfolios for the client's desired ESG considerations without degrading other key portfolio factors such as quality and yield (Display). But for a bond manager who is properly equipped, screening and best-of-breed approaches can be another notch in the customization toolbelt.
Measuring ESG Doesn't Have to Cost You
Average-Weighted YTW (percent)
YTW: Yield to Worst—a measure of the lowest possible yield for bonds that operate within their contract terms without defaulting. Avg. Weighted YTW are for AA-rated, 5% coupon, non-sinkable, non-insured bonds with 6–10-year option-adjusted durations.
As of January 31, 2022
Impact: Improving Outcomes for Underserved Communities
Impact investing intentionally supports social and environmental progress by focusing on programs or projects with specific purpose and results in mind. In this vein, muni impact investing can deliver positive improvements to historically underserved communities. That's why it's a natural fit for muni investors who want to make a measurable difference in addressing socio-economic inequities.
Muni impact investing can target many important ESG-related goals, ranging from improving water supplies and mass transit to energy efficiency and economic development. The Buffalo Sewer Authority, for example, issued a $50 million bond to fund green infrastructure and reduce untreated wastewater runoff into nearby waterways. Likewise, the City of Oakland's Bond Measure KK funds targeted investments in roads and other infrastructure in neighborhoods that need it the most, along with affordable housing.
Improved access to education and healthcare are frequent focus areas too. For example, Gallaudet University, the world's only liberal arts college devoted to deaf, hard-of-hearing and deafblind students, issued a $40 million bond to fund facility improvements to further optimize its educational environment. Not far away, the West Virginia University Health System's bond will help pay for expanded outreach to the state's more vulnerable and at-risk residents, like teens addicted to opioids or older adults living in remote mountain and rural areas.
Results are just as important as intentionality. Impact investors must measure how each bond's proceeds are being used to meet environmental or social goals, many of which often overlap. Outcomes that tell us whether the project is successful are measured differently depending on sector or ESG themes (Display).

As of June 30, 2020
Choosing a Muni ESG Approach Hinges on Investor Goals
As ESG becomes a bigger part of muni investing, it's important to discern among the many approaches before jumping in. The muni market is vast, and muni bonds—as well as issuers—offer varying ESG-investment risks and rewards. Muni investors considering how ESG adds value to their portfolios should study all their options across the spectrum to know which strategy best aligns with what they hope to achieve.

Q: Most general Lagrangian in CFT in 0+1D My question is about $CFT_1$. Page 18 of this says that $$L={\frac{\overset{.}{Q}^2}{2} - \frac{g}{2Q^2}}\tag{1.11}$$ is the most general Lagrangian that preserves time translation and scale invariance in $CFT_1$. How does one prove that?

A: Classically a theory is invariant under a transformation if its action is invariant (up to boundary terms). In our case a conformal transformation is given by
$$t'=\lambda t\\ Q'=\lambda ^{-\Delta}Q $$
where $\Delta$ is the scaling dimension of Q, which is just its energy dimension classically.
For now let's assume a Lagrangian with only the kinetic term and infer the dimension. To this end plug the transformed variables into the action
\begin{align}
S' &=\int \mathrm{d}t' \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}Q'}{\mathrm{d}t'} \right)^2 \\ &=\lambda^{-2\Delta-1}S
\end{align}
We can read of that $\Delta = -\frac{1}{2}$.
We can now try to add more terms to our Lagrangian but we would not want to include additional kinetic terms so we restrict them to have the form $g_n Q^n$. Plugging these terms into the action we see that they transform as $$\mathrm{d}t'\ Q'^n = \lambda^{1+\frac{n}{2}} \mathrm{d}t \ Q^n $$
which implies $n=-2$ if we require conformal invariance. We thus showed that the most general Lagrangian is given by
$$\mathcal{L} = \frac{1}{2}\dot{Q}^2 - \frac{g}{2Q^2} $$

This is a remaster that I have been waiting for for a long time indeed. The three first Southside Johnny albums given a makeover, at last. "I Don't Wanna Go Home", "This Time It's For Real" and "Hearts Of Stone".
It is on the first one that the remastering is most noticeable. It is superb. It is like owning a new album. Crystal clear cymbals, warm audible bass, at last, and, of course, those bright, punchy horns. Wonderful. Long overdue.
However, on the second album, the sound on the title track of This Time Its For Real is still as muddy as it always was, as is Without Love, as if someone has put wet towels on the drums (which I had heard was actually done!). The remaster doesn't appear to have done too much on this one. Maybe it never will, it was just recorded badly in the first place.
"Hearts Of Stone" was always the best sounding one, and the one least in need of a remaster. However, this one has given it even more punch, if that were possible. A bit bassier too.
Even if you already own these albums, you will be pleased with this. If you don't own them, what are you waiting for? One of the best blues rock voices against a Spectoresque backing. Songs by Steve Van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen too. Asbury Park Heaven.

Welcoming Goodbill to the Founders' Co-op family (and the best compliment a VC can ever receive)
February 3, 2022 - Chris DeVore
We're excited to announce our investment in Goodbill, a new consumer advocate that spots and fixes overcharges in hospital bills. We're even more excited to be sharing this investment with our friends at Maveron, a Seattle-based venture firm with an amazing track record in consumer-first investing. And we're over the moon to be working with Goodbill co-founders Patrick Haig and Ian Sefferman for the second time.
We named our firm Founders' Co-op because we believe that extraordinary founders – not clever ideas or VC cash – are the bedrock of startup value creation over time. The highest compliment we can ever receive is when a team of founders we've had success with in the past – and who because of their success could raise from any investor they choose – decide to partner with us again on their next company.*
I met Ian Sefferman back in 2008 when he was a developer at Amazon and we had just started Founders' Co-op. He'd built a side project that he thought might be a company and wanted feedback on his idea. I backed him as one of our first fund investments and together we learned what it means for founders and investors to build a company together.
Along the way I was introduced to a second-year UW Law student who was growing disillusioned with the idea of practicing law and was interested in startups. I introduced him to Ian, and before long Patrick Haig had dropped out of law school to join Ian as a co-founder. Their company was ultimately acquired by TUNE, which was in turn acquired by Toronto-listed Constellation Software, a happy outcome all around.
Ian and Patrick's next project was a startup studio – Undefined – focused on health and wellness opportunities. As much as I loved working with them both, our founder-centric worldview makes us wary of the studio model, so we stayed in touch but didn't invest (a choice that can sometimes sour a relationship for obvious reasons). But when Patrick reached out just before the holidays to say that he and Ian had fallen in love with one of their studio research projects and decided to go all in again as co-founders, we said yes without a second thought.
Healthcare payments in America are a Byzantine mess, and customers are regularly hit with surprise bills for thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars. Medical bills are reported to be the number one cause of U.S. personal bankruptcy; they're also rife with mistakes and overcharges that are difficult for consumers to spot and even harder to challenge.
Goodbill uses the power of software and machine learning to spot inaccuracies in medical bills and negotiate on the customer's behalf to have those charges reduced or removed, saving hundreds to thousands of dollars per error. It's still early days for Goodbill's offering but their solution is already sparking excitement from customers and consumer medical advocates alike.
We're thrilled to be working with old friends to solve this important problem. You can add your name to their waitlist here or take advantage of their first product here to help you get reimbursed for at-home COVID test purchases.
* We were curious so we looked it up: over 25% of our investments over the past few years have been with founders we'd backed previously – higher than we thought, and a number that makes us feel good about our repeat rate while also leaving plenty of room for new people and ideas.
