The gang's all here.
Carmen Townsend, Ghettosocks and We're Doomed
(Winners: Best Of Music)
[Listen here to a podcast of the conversation]
Halifax has a strange musical map. A small-town feel, but enough varied genres that make for a rich scene. But because of the size, there are occasions that a crossover show will bring different groups of fans together, cautiously eyeing each other from across the bar---where did all these new faces come from?
When this happens, it's like a breath of fresh air. New sounds, new people to crush on. We brought BOM winners Ghettosocks, Carmen Townsend and We're Doomed together into a north end living room, on a very spacious sectional couch, to talk differences, similarities and what they love about making music here.
It turns out there are a lot of universal truths. The Prairies are brutal. Music Nova Scotia is valuable. Ninety percent of a musician's friends are in bands. They all love Jon Epworth.
Meet the team: We're Doomed is a pop-influenced progressive rock band, a group of young guys who swear by the tightly knit all-ages scene. "We play a lot of different shows," says guitarist Nick Jones. "We always get lumped in with a lot of heavy bands, we play a lot of metal shows," says Simon Outhit (guitar and vocals). "We're always the light band on the heavy show and the heavy band on the light show," says drummer Scott Tiller. "We're always classified as a metal band." Outhit, Jones, Tiller and bassist Mike Andrews are transitioning from all-ages to bar shows. They live to tour, and have the momentum to do it. Last summer's EP, Like A Machine brought together heavy riffs, syncopated beats, face-melting solos and heartfelt lyrics.
Ghettosocks is a self-made man with a lot of friends. The Juno-nominated, ECMA-winning rapper/producer/DJ co-owns his own label, Droppin' Science, and is half of Teenburger and Twin Peaks. You'd think he's still hearing the locomotion from last December's month-long VIA Rail sponsored Train of Thought tour, because he just doesn't stop. He returns to Halifax in April after a trip to SXSW. He's not here long---the ECMAs are next on the list, then Europe. "What I do is really grassroots, I have no delusions of grandeur," Ghettosocks says. "It's about contacts, making those, then bring them out and show them what Moncton's made of."
Carmen Townsend plays both acoustic theatre shows and wild rock stages. Her huge voice and charming stage presence easily wins over both crowds. Last year she released her debut, Waitin' and Seein' and toured across the country with Heart, something that still takes her breath away ("I can't listen to them on the radio anymore, I cry,"). She's in high demand and her schedule can be a tough one to juggle (her band lives in Cape Breton and needs to make special trips for her local shows).
She's all about pushing herself this year, though. In her songwriting, to experiment musically, to take on more of the business side of things (a necessity after a completely disastrous video shoot for "River Rat" left her holding the bag, sans video). "I've been doing this my whole life, it wasn't like, 'hmm, I'm going to be in a band I want to sing', it's just what I've done. I don't know anything different."
Let's start with some love: The group all too easily rolls out a laundry list of bands they're excited about: Glory Glory, The Stogies, Alright Already, Black Moor, Jorun, Ambition, Uncle Fester, IV League, Scientists of Sound, Tupper Ware Remix Party, The Town Heroes, Jon Epworth, Stone Mary. Finding musicians to admire is no problem. Finding places to play... that's another story.
Halifax is "amazing," says Tiller. "The only issue is places to play. You can only play Halifax so many times. There's not that many venues, they keep closing."
"It's hard enough for out of town bands to get here, but then there are even less places to play," says Outhit.
Ghettosocks sees our diminutive region as an advantage, citing proximity to other easily accessible Maritime cities. When he brings in musicians from out of town, "it's easy to bring them around the region," he says. "The most challenge I've had is breaking west of Ontario."
Regarding touring Canada, Townsend says, "If you don't have a good sense of humour, you might as well just stay home." But when she was travelling from her hometown of Christmas Island to Halifax, it never seemed like a chore. "Being from Cape Breton, Halifax has always has this magic...it always seemed like such a big deal. Like with Sloan, jale, Hardship Post, Rebecca West, it's always stayed that way. I don't think there is a better scene. I remember being 16 and playing the Birdland---it was always like, 'Yeah we're going to Halifax! Gonna be a superstar!'"
"In comparison to Ontario there is a community," says Jones. "And it's growing, like Pop Explosion is getting insane."
They also had advice for each other. Some of it was Chicken Soup-style stuff, things we all know but still always need to hear. Some centred around the divide between the all-ages and bar scene.
"Seriously, play all-ages shows," says Tiller. "You play an all-ages show, and you stop playing, those kids don't say a thing, they watch you, they look right at you the whole time."
"I owe pretty well everything I have, as far as playing shows goes, to The Pavilion and the fact that I was able to go there, volunteer and spend all my time there from the ages 14 to 20," says Outhit. "Chris Smith is doing a great job."
"That was my life," says Townsend. "Fourteen years old in North Sydney. I mean, nothing happens in North Sydney. That's how I started this."
"It's a whole other dynamic," says Outhit.
"They'll say 'I listen to your album, I listen to every single lyric---I was having a hard time a couple months ago and I listened to your album and it helped me," says Tiller.
"It would be really awesome if you guys played," says Andrews.
"I'd totally do it!" says Townsend.
"It would be really cool to go to The Pavilion," Jones says, "and see young hip-hop."
"You guys wanna do a show in April?" asks Ghettosocks. "Because now would be a perfect time to promote it... And there are younger groups in the rap/hip-hop scene. Like Weirdo Click, Slomo, Shevy Price. It's cool to see what the next generation will bring you."
"So from your guys' side," says Outhit, "what do we need to know? Please!"
"I need to surround myself with positive people," says Townsend. "You are going to have your van break down, it's going to happen, and you need a sense of humour. I take my gym shoes on tour, I exercise. It sounds really lame to say, but don't ever give up, learn to laugh at yourself more than anything. it will really help. Especially in a van. In the middle of winter. In Winnipeg."
"Having a good work ethic is important," says Ghettosocks. "There's so much that can be done and if you don't take advantage of a situation you can miss out on opportunities. I know it sounds cliche, once you last or live as long as I have or Carmen has---how old are you guys anyway?" ("Twenty to 23," says Outhit.) "Longevity is passion-driven, the time will fly by. I hear a lot of people like, 'This is my year. If this doesn't happen, then I'm plan B-ing it'---those people aren't meant to do it."
"We've been lucky enough to work with Josh [Hogan] from Red Tentacle and Hassan [King]. They've really shoved that down our throats," laughs Outhit.
"It's classic. That's sort of more in my arena," says Ghettosocks. "Like, that's the motto: 'This is the year, it's the takeover y'all, we're gonna do it big this year.' Just everybody says the same thing and next year, we're like, 'Whatever happened to those dudes? Why do I have this t-shirt?'"
"I want to be a sustainable band," says Andrews.
"So we can stay in a van sweaty and disgusting forever and be able to go on the road and make albums," says Tiller.
They all laugh. "Forever?"

This is the problem with the crypto community. Many only get excited and interested when they see a major pump. OXTBETS seemed very active and interest peaked in late August. Then, the terrible month of September ensued (which I predicted btw, not to toot my own horn) and now Orchid's level of interest is back to the days of June and July. In the terrible words of scholarly rapper, Future: "Molly, Percocets, Rep the set, Gotta rep the set, Chase a check, Never chase a bitch." NEVER CHASE A CRYPTO or you will be doomed. (Btw Future was basically advertising street drugs which makes that a terrible song).
Everyone should watch this video by Tommy World Power: (0:48) "imagining if someone put $100 in cryptocurrency or BTC in 2009, that in 2013, that $100 would become worth $100 million. Thinking about how people go to work everyday and they have these routines...and if they could put just $100 which is possible for most people in the Western world..." I can admit that I was sleeping on crypto throughout this decade. I first heard about Bitcoin in 2013 and dismissed it as some illegal black market money laundering scheme. And in a way with Mt. Gox, it was like that. Then came the more traditional exchanges like Binance and Coinbase which helped legitimize this asset class.
(1:37) "I watched Bitcoin go from $10 to $1000 in 2013." Didn't we all? (1:50) "I actually made first major investments in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at the end of 2013, at the end of that bubble...that next year is something we NEVER saw in cryptocurrency before.... My losses on some of them were 90%... Accumulate as much possible at those lows because I knew at some point, it would rebound." Basically, he was referring to how everyone forgot about crypto in 2015 including all his friends and how it came roaring back to reward the loyal crypto holders. Don't chase crypto gains but don't also sleep on crypto.

Bitfinex Must Answer NY AG Allegations It Hid Over $800M In Lost Funds
Cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex must answer allegations by the state of New York that the Hong Kong-based company hid more than $800 million in losses of client and corporate funds, the New York Court of Appeals ruled Thursday (July 9), according to Bloomberg.
Companies connected to Bitfinex have been accused by New York Attorney General Letitia James of the loss of commingled client and corporate funds, Bloomberg reported. The companies have insisted the cash was deposited with Crypto Capital Corp.
Investigators at the U.S. Department of Justice alleged Crypto Capital provided shadow banking services to several cryptocurrency exchanges, including Bitfinex, Binance, Cex.io, Coinapult and QuadrigaCX. The Panamanian company was indicted for conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transfer service, Cointelegraph reported.
Crypto Capital President Ivan Manuel Molina Lee was arrested last year by Polish authorities on suspicion of laundering $350 million worth of funds from illegal proceeds and having ties to a global drug cartel, Cointelegraph reported. The company later collapsed.
In April of 2019, cryptocurrencies saw a double-digit percentage drop in bitcoin. On April 26, the price of bitcoin fell to $5,092, down from levels earlier that week that topped $5,580. The slide came as James accused Bitfinex of covering up missing funds through illegal transactions to the tune of $850 million.
Companies tied to Bitfinex also operate the stablecoin Tether, a conduit for trading in much of the cryptocurrency market globally, Bloomberg reported. The appeals court rejected the argument that Tether, with a market capitalization of more than $9 billion, is not a security or commodity and said the court has jurisdiction over its issuer.
The justices also rejected the companies' argument that since they are not based in New York or serve local traders, they shouldn't be answerable to or have to produce certain documents for New York authorities, Bloomberg reported. The court said New York traders had used Tether, and some of the companies' staff worked in New York.

[UN official: Cryptocurrency makes policing child slavery more difficult] A top United Nations official says cryptocurrencies have made it significantly more difficult to fight child slavery, cyber crime, terror financing and money laundering, according to a report by news website ABC on August 29. Neil Walsh, chief of the Cybercrime and AML section of UN's Office on Drugs and Crime, noted that the anonymous attribute of cryptocurrencies provide a new layer of secrecy to favor these criminals.
[Indian black money special investigation team: the government does not need to supervise the cryptocurrency, the single choice is the only choice] The Indian Black Money Special Investigation Group (SIT) informed the government that criminal gang networks are increasingly relying on cryptocurrencies for money laundering and drug smuggling. It also believes that it is not necessary to supervise cryptocurrencies, because it takes years and inefficiencies to deal with such cases, and a one-size-fits-all approach seems to be the only option. Although the country does not fully ban cryptocurrency transactions, the government has instructed all relevant agencies and law enforcement agencies such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Law Enforcement Agency (ED) and the income tax department to take action in accordance with existing laws. In the absence of a globally acceptable solution, the government is handling this matter with caution. SIT does not support regulation because it takes a long time to prosecute violations in the country: "We have many laws or regulations that need to be strictly enforced. But experience shows that many law or regulatory enforcement agencies cannot enforce them. Even if they try to enforce them, As a result, many litigations remain pending for many years. In order to avoid this, there is no choice but to declare it an illegal transaction. Those dealing with cryptocurrencies should be punished without any further evidence."
[Terrorist organizations are using social media platforms such as Telegram to raise money through cryptocurrencies] According to a report by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a non-profit research institute, terrorist organizations in areas such as Islam and Hamas are using social media platforms, including Telegram, to raise funds through cryptocurrencies. MEMRI warned that this problem will only be more serious when Telegram launches its own blockchain TON and local cryptocurrency Gram.

How this little-known crypto is giving Bitcoin a run for its money
1/8The tale of "altcoins"
Bitcoin's share of the cryptocurrency market is sliding, with a host of alternative digital coins gaining ground as developers race to create digital cash that can gain a footing in mainstream commerce and finance. Monero - referred to as a privacy coin because it allows users to conceal nearly all details of transactions. It has become increasingly used for illegal purposes. Since its launch in 2014, Monero has grown to be the 12th biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization with around $1.4 billion-worth in circulation. Let's dig a little deeper and understand it more.
2/8How is Monero different from Bitcoin?
Every transaction involving Monero obscures the digital addresses of the senders and receivers, as well as the value of the transaction. That offers users near-total anonymity, allowing them to instantaneously send digital cash without leaving any clues. Bitcoin was initially seen as opaque, as the identity of the owners of digital wallets used to send and receive bitcoin is not public. But details recorded permanently on the blockchain after bitcoin is sent and received can, in fact, give up clues that can be used to pinpoint those identities.
3/8Why is it gaining attention?
When Norwegian police earlier this year gave details of the kidnapping of the wife of a wealthy businessman, they said the family had demanded a ransom in cryptocurrencies. Local press reported that the suspects wanted to be paid in Monero. The unusual request underlined a growing trend for criminals to seek alternatives to bitcoin for illicit activities.
4/8What is it mostly used for?
Monero's use on darknet marketplaces - sites used for buying illicit goods from drugs to stolen credit cars - is on the rise. Three of the biggest five darknet markets now accept Monero. Monero is also widely used for "cryptojacking," or illicit cryptocurrency mining, where hackers infect computers and steal their power to mine new coins - a highly lucrative endeavour. Monero's developers say its characteristics make it a useful tool for companies looking to maintain commercial secrecy. According to experts users in repressive countries looking to avoid censorship or surveillance can also safely move money in the form of Monero.
5/8Is law enforcement worried? What do regulators say?
Cryptocurrencies are mostly unregulated. Though countries from Britain to the United States are looking at how to deal with the phenomenon, few have set out comprehensive strategies for dealing with digital coins.And though aware of the propensity for cryptocurrencies to be used for money laundering, few financial national-level regulators have specifically addressed privacy coins.
Britain's finance ministry, which leads a task force that is looking at if and how Britain will regulate cryptocurrencies, said it was aware of the potential for Monero to be used for criminal ends.
Japan's financial watchdog, sensitive to money laundering potential of privacy coins, last year asked a Tokyo-based exchange to review its listings. The exchange later ceased trading Monero.
6/8Who's behind Monero?
Like bitcoin, Monero is governed by a virtual community of hundreds of developers that lacks any centralised authority. Cabanas is one of only two publicly-known members of its seven-person core developer team, who act as stewards for updates to its code. Mitchell Krawiec-Thayer, a San Francisco-based blockchain developer who is part of Monero Research Labs, said Monero is designed so it can be easily mined by individuals rather than powerful groups that team up to mine coins in industrial quantities. Monero has recently launched a response group, where those infected by malware can seek help, Krawiec-Thayer said.
7/8Who uses Monero for legitimate purposes?
Data on who uses Monero, and why, is scarce. Daily transactions for Monero - one proxy for how widely the cryptocurrency is used - have hovered around 8,000 this month, data from website CoinMetrics shows. The number of active digital wallet addresses for Monero has hung around 5,000. By comparison, bitcoin sees around 320,000 transactions a day, with about 785,000 active addresses.
8/8Who are its contemporaries?
Monero is not the only privacy coin. Others, such as ZCash, have grown popular with investors, often for speculative reasons but also because of interest in their privacy features. Grayscale, the world's biggest crypto asset manager with around $1.3 billion under management, allows investors like hedge funds to invest in ZCash. Amid growing acceptance of privacy coins, a number of major exchanges list Monero. For example, Malta-based Binance, one of the world's largest exchanges, allows users to trade the coin. Binance declined to comment on Monero, but said it has a comprehensive review process for evaluating coins and tokens for listing, and that it carries out periodic reviews on projects.

Today's review: Monero
What is Monero?
This name cryptocurrency has received from the word "coin" in the language of Esperanto. Cryptocurrency appeared on April 18, 2014, as Bytecoin fork (not Bitcoin). The release of the coin caused increased interest from the crypto community after announcing by the developers the Roadmap and the Whitepaper. The essence of the project was to make the cryptocurrency anonymous.
But on the other hand, the creation of such cryptocurrency attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies, including Europol. As an argument that was brought to the attention of developers, it was that Monero could become a good means of payment on the black market for drugs trade.
The FBI also speaks with the same statement, pointing out that Monero is in the TOP of the crypto-currency on the black market:
Monero.
The level of Monero anonymity is sometimes questioned, in particular, Edward Snowden called it "amateur cryptocurrency."
At the time of writing, Monero is ranked 11th by the capitalization in Coinmarketcap.com
Monero is mostly an open source software that uses the principle of proof-of-work. But unlike Bitcoin, Monero emission is not limited. That's why the developers did it so that the miners would ensure the system's operation even after the emission was completed.
https://i.redd.it/nzcpy6u3cpi11.gif
The developers of Monero have made a lot of efforts to make their cryptocurrency secure. To achieve a high result, special measures were taken:
Use of "Annular signatures". This technology allows you to "shuffle" all the public keys, thus eliminating the possibility of identifying any of the participants in the system.
Monero uses a unique protocol that creates one-time addresses. This allows you to hide information about the payee, the balance of his account and so on.
Protection against hacking. Cryptographic algorithms ensure the security of electronic cash stored in user wallets.
Due to CryptoNote and the obfuscation added to the protocol, passive mixing is provided: all transactions in the system are anonymous, and all participants in the system can use plausible negation in the event if they are being captured.
Dirty Monero?
Among the miners, it's in high demand, due to anonymity for mining on other people's computers and servers. Recently, there have been more cases when Monero was noticed in the code of many viruses. The power of many computers around the world is used to extract this particular cryptocurrency, in particular, this happened last year in London, where scammers used the hacked government servers for mining.
Also Monero, right along with Bitcoin, Zcash and Dash is the most used cryptocurrency in Darknet. A particularly favored method of money laundering is the so-called "mixer". The principle of its work is that the money received illegally is sent to the exchange where Bitcoin coins are purchased, for which the Monero tokens are then purchased and then the attacker can safely transfer to any stock exchange, to a pre-established account and receive money in any form convenient for him.
Advantages of Monero
Absolute decentralization. Without any control, including financial organizations (banks and etc);
The anonymity of transactions;
Constant growth and trust;
The presence of his own personal wallet.
Disadvantages of Monero
The size of one transaction in Monero is more significant than in Bitcoin;
The anonymity of transactions began to challenge experts working on the development of other cryptocurrencies.
Now the developers are actively working to promote the currency. Given the high anonymity and growth in demand, success is entirely assured. The anonymity of Monero transactions is not absolute.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has successfully awoken from a planned 165-day hibernation period ahead of its historic flyby of the Kuiper Belt object Ultima Thule, which is set to take place on New Year's Day 2019. New Horizons is already an impressive 3.8 billion miles (6.1 billion km) from Earth, and has just 162 million miles (262 million km) of open space left to its next ambitious rendezvous.
New Horizons made history back in July 2015, when it made a close proximity pass of the enigmatic dwarf planet Pluto. The data collected during this flyby revolutionized our understanding of Pluto, revealing it to be a surprisingly diverse and active world, playing host to complex geological processes.
Sadly, New Horizons was moving far too fast to make orbit around Pluto, and, having made the most of its time with the dwarf planet, continued to race farther into the outer edges of our solar system. Its success characterizing the Plutonian system did not mark the end of its mission, but rather the beginning of a new adventure. Its next target – the Kuiper Belt object now known as Ultima Thule.
Whilst it may sound like an imposing title belonging to a super villain from the Marvel comic universe, the name of New Horizons' latest target is actually rooted in medieval mythology. Thule was the name of a mythical island supposedly located to the far north of the world. Ultima Thule literally translates to "beyond Thule," and was selected as the name of New Horizons' next target because it symbolized the ground-breaking exploratory nature of the new mission phase.
New Horizons' flyby of Ultima Thule, which is due to take place on New Year's Day 2019, will send the probe sailing into the record books once more, this time as the probe that made the most distant planetary encounter in the history of robotic space exploration.
Ultima Thule is located roughly a billion miles beyond the orbit of Pluto. In an attempt to ensure that New Horizons arrived at its remote destination in the best possible condition, the probe was placed in a state of hibernation.
This period of relative inactivity, which began on December 21, 2017, and lasted for 165 days, came to an end at 2:12 a.m. EDT on June 5, when jubilant mission controllers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland received a radio transmission confirming that New Horizons had successfully awoken.
From the moment that the spacecraft sent its message, it took an incredible 5 hours and 40 minutes to reach Earth. The pioneering probe is in good shape, and operating as expected, with the team busy collecting navigational data and sending the first post wake-up commands.
In the next two months, mission operators will prepare for New Horizons' rendezvous with Ultima Thule by updating the probe's memory systems, collecting data on the Kuiper Belt, and checking the condition of vital scientific instruments and subsystems. The spacecraft is due to make its first observations of Ultima Thule in August, which will help mission scientists to plan out the minutia of the approaching flyby.
"Our team is already deep into planning and simulations of our upcoming flyby of Ultima Thule and excited that New Horizons is now back in an active state to ready the bird for flyby operations, which will begin in late August," comments mission Principal Investigator Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.


Amazing and inspirational new offices have been created for West Dorset District Council (WDDC) and Composite Profiles were the specialist metal decking contractor chosen to help deliver the scheme in Dorchester.
CJCT Architects were commissioned to develop a scheme in the heart of the town that would provide office space for WDDC, together with a new central library and adult education centre, whilst supporting the local character of this historic county town. 'A highly sustainable scheme' was a key requirement for WDDC's new offices, so the choice of structural steelwork to form the frame, with composite metal floor decking was a clear winner.
Engineers, BWB Consulting, specified ComFlor® 60 to each of the four floors. Composite Profiles was subsequently employed to provide specialist detailing advice together with buildability solutions, followed by product supply and installation.
Our challenge was to provide a workable installation solution, which was sympathetic to the historic town of Dorchester, whilst meeting the tight programme timetable required to enable the entire project to push forward.
With our Head Office being less than 25 miles away from the site, our team members were well aware of the access issues and local restrictions often faced in this historic county town.
As is standard on Composite Profiles projects, early engagement with key stakeholders, especially the site management, was vital to establish a strong working relationship and to determine precise requirements and expectations for the project.
Our commercial team identified certain delivery restrictions as being a likely obstacle. Whilst composite metal decking deliveries will often have more than 1,000m2 on a single load, we had the foresight and local knowledge to price for rigid vehicles to avoid delivery challenges.
The ComFlor® 60 decking was bespoke made for the project, eliminating the need to cut on site, reducing noise pollution and aiding a speedy site programme. This method, standard for all Composite Profiles projects, also reduces site waste, adding to our commitment to the environment and sustainability.

Versatile jazz-rock band at UWRF readies for end-of-semester concert
By Rebecca Meidl
Among the various choral and instrumental ensembles housed in the Department of Music at UW-River Falls is the Falcon Band, a small but versatile group that plays jazz-rock.
The Falcon Band consists of nine members: Mitch Rand, Jordan Tucker and Amanda Weber on saxophone, Taylor Graham and Julian Manley on trumpet, Ben Coleman on trombone, Zach Tate on guitar, Tessa Bloch on bass and Evan McLean on drums. The band, although small, can play a range of music. With only six different instruments this band can do more than most.
Falcon Band members have one primary instrument but that does not mean it's their only instrument. With only six different instruments it may seem that the band has a limit to what they can play. However, members of the band can if need be play other instruments to help widen the music selection.
McLean said there is no limit to what the band can play.
"Everyone in there is super flexible in being able to hop over and play other instruments," he said. "Last semester we played a song that required bass clarinet and either flute or clarinet and our two saxophone players played those."
To help learn new instruments, the band has a director who is able to help with any instrument students decide to pick up. Craig Hara, director of the Falcon Band, has an extensive background in music. He has performed in Europe, North America and Japan. His primary instrument is trumpet but also knows how to play many other instruments. He is part of the River Falls Brass at UW-River Falls and a conductor for UW-River Falls Symphonic Wind Band and St. Croix Valley Symphony Orchestra.
The way that Hara interacts with the band is very involved. Because he knows how to play many different instruments, if students are having trouble learning a new piece he says he likes to show instead of tell.
"Sometimes it's just faster for me to say, 'Let me show you this,'" Hara said.
Members of the band also get to choose what they want to play and don't always play what is found in sheet music. Hara says that he gives students just a rough chart of what the music looks like and then they make it their own.
"A fair component in our book is also a bunch of stuff that is bare skeleton guides to tunes and then it's up to the band to figure out how to make it work, which is what most of us do in real life," he said.
He said doesn't want students to come into his class to learn how to be "monkeys" and then go look for a job, because that is not real life. He wants students to be able to improvise their music and when things go wrong they are able to fix it because that is what they learned in Falcon Band.
"One of the main goals of the band is to give students the opportunity to work on their stuff," Hara said. "I mean I encourage everybody in that band to make their mistakes in Falcon Band. Try your stuff and fail at it because that is the only way we figure out what to do."
Bloch said that is the reason she joined Falcon Band in the first place.
"I wanted some experience with reading, like, lead sheets and improvising and stuff like that, and also it's a good way to introduce yourself with jazz if you're not super familiar with it," she said. "It's a really supportive environment."
Any student from any major can join the Falcon Band, but students must try out. They must be able to read music, understand theory, understand harmony and know how to use the instrument in a way that is up to the level of the band.
The Falcon Band's end-of-semester concert is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 2, in the Kleinpell Fine Arts Building. The concert is free and open to the public.

Why Is My Credit Score Not Increasing – and Could it Be Costing Me Money?
Have you researched how to increase your credit score and still find yourself asking, why is my credit score not improving? Maybe you've been checking your score regularly and not seen any growth over the course of months or even years?
It doesn't make sense because you've sacrificed and become more disciplined with your money. Maybe you're being paid more and have a better job. Every time you check your score, you expect to see it's gone up, but you're disappointed to see no change. What's going on? Why is your credit score not increasing?
It's very, very important when trying to improve your credit, to obtain your credit report from both TransUnion and Equifax. Every Canadian is entitled to a free credit report from each of these credit bureaus, every year, so grab yours. While it doesn't contain your credit score itself, it does contain your credit history. If you've asked, 'why is my credit score not improving?', you may have missed something. Go through it with a fine-toothed comb. Clear up any issues that are there and make sure that everything listed on your report is actually you.
You'd be surprised to know how often identity theft occurs and goes unnoticed. Maybe someone signed up for a cable account in your name and defaulted on their bills. Perhaps someone used your credit card number to spend enough to max out your card. For these reasons, being clear on the details of your credit report, along with your credit card statements and bank account statements is the most important first step in how to increase your credit score. Don't just check these things once, either. Do it as often as you possibly can.
Keep attempting to find out how to build your credit in more ways. Our Refresh Financial blog is a great place to start. There are ways to build your credit score fairly quickly, such as secured credit cards, secured lines of credit, or secured savings programs, like the one Refresh Financial offers. When considering how to increase credit scores, give serious thought to including one or two of these options in your strategy. If you keep your bills paid on time, and take on one of these credit building products, your score should start climbing within a few months.
Your credit usage is a key factor in determining your credit score and credit repair. If you have $10,000 in credit, and you've used $9000 of it, your credit usage is at 90%. This is way too high, and needs to be brought down to at least below 50%. Ideally, bringing your credit usage down below 30% is going to see an almost instant positive effect on your credit score. Often, the answer to 'why is my credit score not improving?' is high utilization.
When it comes to bankruptcy or a consumer proposal, there is nothing you can really do to avoid the negative impact it has on our credit score. For a bankruptcy, you are going to have to wait six years before it's removed from your credit report. For a consumer proposal, it's only three years. You may also have something you've defaulted on in your credit history - perhaps you've had a credit account sent to collections because you stopped paying. Maybe you've got a utility bill in collections. Whatever the case, items such as these in your credit history are going to affect you for a very long time and make credit repair more difficult. It is best to settle them up and get them off your credit report.
Your creditors can and do make mistakes. Credit bureaus also make mistakes. Going back to point one, make sure that everything on your credit report is true. If it's not, take it up with the creditor it came from or dispute it with the credit bureau. Both Equifax and TransUnion have dispute processes that are simple to follow on their websites. Fixing these sorts of errors can make credit repair a lot easier.
While paying your bills on time is great, just scraping by with the bare minimum isn't going to do much for your score. Instead, pay down your debts. Make sure the amount of debt you have is steadily decreasing as much as you can possibly handle.
Credit repair is like an engine with many moving parts, and it doesn't really work if all the parts aren't there. It all has to come together to get that credit score headed upward. Make sure your credit building strategy is well-rounded, and includes all the best practices, not just some, and you will see a better credit score in just a few months.
If your score isn't increasing, it could actually be costing you money.
How? Your credit score directly affects the interest rates you're eligible for. Yet another perk of having great credit, is that when you apply for a credit card, you'll be offered a much better interest rate than someone with poor credit. This can have a huge impact on your financial stability, lowering your overall cost of borrowing significantly.
Let's say you have a credit card with a 19% interest rate and you've got a $3000 balance on it. Your minimum payment is 3% or $90. If you pay the minimum payment each month, you're paying $47.50 in interest every month, and $42.50 goes towards paying down your principal.
Let's switch that rate for a lower interest rate, let's say 8.9%. Your monthly payment of $90 is broken down like this: $22.25 of it is interest, while $67.75 goes towards paying down the principal.
With the higher rate, you're looking at paying your principal down almost six years. With the lower rate, you're looking at three and a half years and a savings of more than the principal itself. You would save over $3000 with the lower rate in this scenario.
That's not the only way having a great credit score can save you money. Here's a helpful diagram that simplifies the many ways you can save yourself loads of money if you have a good credit rating.
Still wondering how to increase credit score? We can help improve your credit score and get you right back on track.

Five Nights at Candy's 3 è un videogioco punta e clicca realizzato da Emil Ace Macko, terzo ed ultimo della serie videoludica Five Nights at Candy's, basata sulla saga horror Five Nights at Freddy's.

Modalità di gioco
Nel gioco si interpreterà Mary, una giovane ragazza che ha incubi su Rat e Cat, le mascotte del ristorante Rat and Cat's Theater, arrivando a disegnare versioni distorte dei due costumi. Dopo un anno, torna nella sua vecchia casa per affrontare gli incubi una volta per tutte e capire la ragione dietro ad essi. Seguendo le indicazioni di quello che viene rappresentato come un origami a forma di gatto, bisognerà superare le notti rappresentanti gli incubi della bambina.

All'inizio di ogni notte bisognerà attraversare un percorso onirico (chiamato "dreamscace") per recuperare il registratore, il quale permetterà di superare le notti in modo molto più veloce. Se ci si allontanerà dal percorso si correrà il rischio di incontrare Shadow Rat e Shadow Cat, i quali aggrediranno il giocatore se non vengono prese le dovute precauzioni. Una volta recuperato il registratore comincerà la notte vera e propria. Il giocatore avrà a disposizione una torcia per scacciare i nemici da incubo. Potrà inoltre osservare sotto il letto o attivare il registratore, ma ciò potrebbe distrarlo dai nemici, quindi non deve essere usato troppo frequentemente. Alla fine di ogni notte ci saranno dei minigiochi ambientati nel Rat and Cat's Theater, rappresentanti i ricordi di Mary, nel quale il giocatore incontrerà gli attori nei costumi di Rat e Cat e si potrà decidere di giocare a nascondino con loro. Si potrà inoltre incontrare il Burattinaio, l'attore che manovra Vinnie, un'altra attrazione del ristorante. Vi sono infine diversi finali, sbloccabili compiendo azioni diverse durante il gioco.

Finali
Truth Ending: sbloccato se il giocatore deciderà di giocare a nascondino con Rat durante il minigioco giocabile dopo aver superato la quinta notte. L'unico posto in cui il giocatore potrà nascondersi sarà l'armadio di una stanza riservata solamente agli attori. Rat entrerà di lì a poco, ma verrà raggiunto dal Burattinaio, e fra i due scoppierà una lite a causa dello stato di ubriachezza di Rat. Il Burattinaio aggredirà Rat, ma quest'ultimo gli stringerà il collo, ed il Burattinaio per scrollarselo di dosso lo fa scivolare sullo spigolo appuntito di un tavolo, uccidendolo. Di lì a poco entrerà anche Cat, che dopo aver scoperto il cadavere del compagno, cercherà di chiamare la polizia, ma verrà ucciso dal Burattinaio. Quest'ultimo dirà alle autorità che i cadaveri dei due attori erano già là quando era entrato. Mary uscirà piangendo dall'armadio. Si leggerà in seguito un documento medico scritto dallo psicologo di Mary ed una lettera all'ispettore Sherwood a cui chiede di riaprire il caso sull'omicidio al Rat and Cat's Theater.
Forgotten Ending: sbloccato facendo cadere Origami Cat ogni notte. Dopo la quinta notte sarà presente un monologo di Origami Cat, il quale spiegherà di essere stato costruito dalla madre di Mary. Sarà arrabbiato con la ragazza, accusandola di aver rotto la loro amicizia e giurando che non la farà più dormire.
Lollipop Ending: sbloccato scoprendo i minigiochi segreti nei giochi del menu extra. Si vedrà un giocattolo chiamato Lollipop dire al giocatore di non dimenticare i vecchi giochi e che qualcosa è in lavorazione.

Personaggi
Mary: la bambina protagonista del gioco. Il suo nome è Mary Schmidt.
Origami Cat: un origami a forma di gatto che darà a Mary le indicazioni necessarie a superare le notti. Era già apparso come raro Easter egg nella Parts service del primo gioco. Durante il game play può essere buttato giù dal tavolo facendo doppio click su di lui.

Nemici
Monster Rat: la mostruosa versione da incubo del topo Rat. Una volta che entrerà in camera da letto bisognerà usare la torcia per respingerlo, in caso contrario andrà sotto il letto. Questo causerà un suo attacco a meno che il giocatore non individui da che lato è, e si giri verso il lato opposto in tempo.
Si attiverà dalla prima notte.
Monster Cat: la mostruosa versione da incubo del gatto Cat. Non appena entrerà nella camera da letto bisognerà usare la torcia per respingerlo in tempo, altrimenti attaccherà il giocatore quando guarderà sotto il letto.
Si attiverà dalla prima notte.
Monster Vinnie: la mostruosa versione da incubo della marionetta Vinnie. Si comporta come Monster Rat ma è molto più aggressivo.
Si attiverà unicamente durante la sesta notte.
Shadow Rat: una versione di Rat totalmente nera, l'unico nemico nella Shadow Challenge. Si comporterà come Monster Rat, ma è più veloce.

Curiosità

 Nella camera da letto sono presenti tantissimi riferimenti a vari youtubers divenuti famosi grazie a contenuti inerenti al franchise di FNaF. Alcuni di questi sono Markiplier, jacksepticeye, Dawko e The Living Tombstone. Sono presenti anche riferimenti ad altri fan-games come Popgoes e Those Nights at Rachel's.

Transaction / Assets
€ MM
Hispania Buys 80.5% Of Socimi Bay For €123M
20 October 2015 – Expansión
The real estate company Hispania and the hotel chain Barceló are pushing ahead with the launch of their Socimi Bay, dedicated exclusively to hotel assets. After signing a partnership agreement in April, Hispania closed the purchase of 80.5% of the company through its subsidiary, Hispania Real, for €123 million, yesterday. The remaining 19.5% is owned by Barceló. The consideration was paid entirely in cash, with an initial disbursement of €95 million paid in May as an advance.
Currently, Bay is the owner of 11 hotels – which are all operated by the Barceló Group through a rental contract – with 3,946 rooms in total, located in the Balearic Islands, Huelva, Almería and above all, the Canary Islands (three in Fuerteventura, one in Lanzarote and another one in Tenerife). Moreover, it is the owner of a shopping centre in Fuerteventura. These assets have a purchase price of €207 million and a current appraisal value of €229 million.
Having completed this first phase, the Socimi is going to incorporate five other hotels and one new shopping centre into its portfolio in a second phase, which is expects to complete before the end of 2015. These assets are valued at €227.5 million, which means that before the start of 2016, the Socimi Bay will have 16 hotels and two shopping centres worth €456.5 million.
In addition to its majority stake in Bay, the real estate company Hispania, in which George Soros and John Paulson hold stakes, also owns other assets worth more than €700 million, including several resort hotels with another 1,918 rooms. Hispania's share price closed down 0.75% on the stock exchange yesterday at €12.52 per share. (…).

Complete ayurveda hair Care and regimen to prevent hair loss, hair fall, dandruff, premature graying and split hair.
Use a mild shampoo with no alcohl that won't dry out the hair. Use the shampoo on scalp and roots. The ends get cleansed while rinsing.
Use a conditioner or a cream rinse every time after shampooing. Conditioners soften the hair while adding nutrients and give the hair a shine. Cream rinse provides a light conditioning, detangle the hair and still give it shine.
Dry the hair carefully: use a wide toothed, hard rubber or plastic comb (metal breaks the hair) to gently detangle the hair. Ideally one should allow the hair to dry at least partially on its own.
Gently dry the hair with towel before blow-drying. Hold hair dryer at least six inches away from head to minimize heat damage.
Massage increases the blood flow to the hair follicles and beneath the scalp. This helps the growth of healthy hair. Oil massage extremely relaxes body and mind. Massage is especially beneficial for dry hair as it increases blood circulations and produces natural oil. Do not use too much oil for massaging for oily hair as there is enough natural oil in scalp.
The oil should always be lukewarm, which enables it to enter the pores of follicles easily.
Add one vitamin E capsules to the oil and then massage the scalp.
The oil should be applied with the help of a cotton pad.
Massage should be done with fingertips only.
Avoid vigorous massage after oiling as this can cause weak and brittle hair to fall.
Oil interferes with adequate cleaning therefore avoid a massage before shampooing.
Applying juice of neem or margosa leaves to scalp prevent dandruff and hair loss caused by it.
Washing hair and scalp with decoction of neem leaves helps to prevent hair loss and stabilizes color.
Boil few pieces of amla, curry leaves and neem leaves in pure coconut oil till it becomes crisp. Massage this oil on scalp. This is best tonic for hair growth.
Rubbing scalp with equal quantity of amla juice and lime juice after washing hair help in hair loss and increases the luster.
Consuming fresh lettuce leaves or lettuce juice helps in growth of hair.
After washing hair with cold water, rub the scalp vigorously with finger tips till you feel the heat. This effectively controls hair loss.
Applying a pack of soaked and ground fenugreek seeds for half an hour help to prevent dandruff.

Costco's Gold Star membership is designed for consumers on an entry-level basis in terms of pricing and benefits. At around $55.00, this membership is for individuals who do not qualify for, or do not need a business membership. It includes a card for your spouse and gets you into Costco, saving money at any warehouse or online at Costco.com. This membership is suited for customers, who do not expect the return from the 2% "cash back" program.
One of the main concerns vendors have when starting business with Costco is related to the release of payment. Like any contract, when you partner with Costco you will negotiate payment terms; however, your terms will not necessarily guarantee the release of full payment. Consideration for end of program costs must be taken into account, and Costco will either require or provide the option of holding a retainer for some of these funds.
With Costco's "Treasure Hunt" atmosphere, items are constantly moving in and out, and exit strategies must be planned appropriately. There are costs to consider with the end of a program, including potential markdowns, discounts, or other adjustments, shipping of returned product on a guaranteed sale, and of course, returns that may continue to come through after the product has been moved off the sales floor. A retainer provides the option for Costco to hold some of the Purchase Order funds to account for these costs. Although it may not seem ideal, retainers benefit and provide assurance to both the vendor and Costco. The vendor would otherwise be required to send a check each and every time the balance falls below zero – that would mean sending a check for each and every return, which could be an accounting and labor nightmare.
A knowledgeable manufacturer representative like VendorCo can help you plan your exit strategies appropriately, including an appropriate and reasonable plan for end of program costs. To set a strong foundation on your product's prices, contact help@vendorco.com for more details about how our services will best serve you.
As a vendor, you can choose whether or not to enlist a third party for in-house demonstrations. There are many points to consider when making this decision, including location, pricing, training, and staff availability. Costco has 2 third-party companies that they recommend, both of which will abide by and adhere to all of Costco policies and standards. Additionally, all staff members will be food safety certified. If you choose to elect a third party for demo staffing, you will be charged an hourly fee by the designated company. Often, using third-party staffers is the more convenient, but more costly choice. The best choice can vary based on your company's specific goals.
Need help deciding which staffing option is right for you? VendorCo helps coach all of our partners through the arduous decision making process that will arise throughout your Costco program. If you want to partner with experts to help you make the right decisions, contact VendorCo at sales@vendorco.com.

What does a Costco Roadshow / Special Event look like?
So what does a Road Show or Special Event look like? As mentioned earlier this month, Roadshows are often confused for Demos, tests, or full roll-out placement - all of which have exceptionally unique processes and structures. However, you might see Costco Road Shows referred to as Costco Special Events, which is simply unique terminology used to describe the same avenue of Costco. It is not always easy to visually point out a Costco Roadshow, but chances are good that there is at least one Roadshow going on in your local warehouse.
Who is the Costco Roadshow / Costco Special Event buyer?
This question may be a source of frustration for many vendors. Costco buyers vary based on the type of placement, such as full roll out, e-commerce, regional, international, Roadshow etc. Not only that, but Costco buyers also may vary based on departments within the placement type, such as housewares, domestics, electronics, etc. With that said, there may not necessarily be a universal buyer for your company, placement and products.
However, it is important to locate the correct buyer for the correct department; otherwise, your program may be seriously delayed. So how do you do this? And what are the differences between Costco placement types? These questions (and many more) are also addressed through attending a Special Event or Roadshow Webinar (click the link for more information). Sign up today!


Do you believe in Guardian Angels? I certainly do and they come in all sorts of forms. I'd like to introduce you to BLEU! This beautiful blue jay became my guardian angel during the most difficult period in my life beginning in May, 2011.
2011 as you may have read in my latest book, It's Simply Serendipity, was the worst and BEST year of my life. I literally lost everything beginning with miscarrying a child. That was the most difficult loss of the year, even more so than losing my home.
By the time May, 2011 rolled around, I felt as though I was on this downward spiral and desperately needed guidance and support. I decided in May to shift my perspective on life and begin to focus on what I was truly grateful for. I began writing in my journal five things I was grateful for on a daily basis. It was a wonderful exercise that helped me carry on. One day as I was heading to morning Mass at my local church in Sausalito, I came across this blue jay. She just sat there on the branch of this tree and looked at me. I felt an instant connection, but didn't understand it at the time.
As days went by, it seemed every time I was out, I would always come across Bleu. She would follow me everywhere. I enjoyed her visits, especially on those days that were most difficult. Her visits continued for months and even into 2012 when I didn't have a home. I would bounce around from place to place, sleeping on friend's sofas, yet somehow she always found me.
As I type this I'm smiling as the song "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson is playing on the radio. It's true. We are never alone, even when we feel we are. Someone OR something is always looking after us, just like Bleu. About two weeks after moving into my new home in April, 2012 Bleu came to see me. She sat on a branch of the tree outside my home and I said hello. I told her that I would be there for a while and thanked her for always looking after me. Last year when I experienced more transformation and had to leave my home, Bleu found me one day to assure me I was not alone.
It's such an amazing feeling to know we are always being looked after, and for as long as I live, I will never forget this beautiful little bird who was there when I needed her most.
Oh yes Kellie. I love animals and that's what I miss most about being in the Bay is being constantly surrounded by wild life. So beautiful.
so beautiful ~ So glad you found an angel to shepherd you through!
Thanks Teri. Always nice to know I'm being looked after.
Beautiful! Isn't it miraculous how we are blessed?
Oh yes Sheila. I count my blessings every day.
Yes Linda, and I find I notice things now as they happen, rather than somewhere down the road. A true blessing.

Santa goes green
Santa has been playing a flying visit to Lancashire, and he's swapped his usual fur-lined scarlet outfit for a green version in order to promote recycling of waste from the festive season.

Over 10% of Lancashire's waste is produced over Christmas and the New Year – on average, Lancashire produces 2,200 tonnes of waste every day. Sixty percent of this waste could be recycled, says the county council.
For its latest campaign against the waste problem, Lancashire County Council has teamed up with Rethink Rubbish, the National Waste Awareness Initiative's consumer waste awareness scheme. To promote the campaign, Santa has been appearing at a number of supermarkets across the county, explaining how and why people should recycle.
He has also been showing off some products made from recycled waste. These include pencils made from plastic vending machine cups and pens made from recycled paper.
Across Britain as a whole we are likely to produce three million tonnes of rubbish this Christmas. This will include one billion Christmas cards – sufficient for 17 for every man, woman and child; 4,200 tonnes of aluminium foil; 125,000 tonnes of plastic packaging; 80,000 tonnes of old clothes and other textiles; and 300,000 tonnes of glass and metal.
"While it's very important to recycle throughout the year, Christmas and New Year generate even more rubbish than usual, so I want to do what I can while I'm in the area to make sure this important festive message gets across to as many people as possible," he said.
Santa's solutions include giving unwanted presents and old clothes to charity shops, and taking advantage of the Woodland Trust's Christmas card recycling scheme, which will include installing recycling bins in all WH Smith and Tesco stores in the New Year.
Lancashire currently recycles 21% of its household waste – considerably better than the poor 11% rate for the country as a whole.
When he's not campaigning for recycling or delivering Christmas presents, Santa is also known as Lancashire County Council's Waste Management Officer, Andrew Coombe. Outside the festive season, Coombe also dresses as a waste management mole.

Those of you who've been reading for a while might know that our church has been searching for a Settled Pastor. Due to a couple of setbacks, and some complicated ones at that, the search has taken about 2 years. It has been a bit of a roller coaster and our church has learned a lot about itself through this experience, however unstable we've felt at times. We've struggled, we've come together, we've had arguments, and we've had to rethink community and communication. We've gone through a lot!
Well, our church has found a Settled Pastor. His name is David Arthur Auten (I actually reviewed his book just a couple of weeks ago) and his first day was yesterday. He's already shaking things up... he rearranged his office! What?! You mean he's gonna do that?! That office has been the same since I was born. And, what's more, he's hung a poster on the wall. No, not of Jesus calming the storm, not of "Footprints in the Sand," but of Spiderman! He's definitely my kind of guy. We seem to speak the same language, theologically and otherwise, and I'm very excited about what's in store for our church.
I'm looking forward to the kind of stability that comes with having a Settled Pastor. Indeed, I've never had that. Since I was hired at FCC, we've not had a Settled Pastor... so it'll be a very welcome new experience.
But I hope we realize that this has only just begun. Change is coming--good change--and with change comes more struggle and more rethinking. While I know that it will be all the right kind of struggle, it's still gonna come with difficulties. It's not necessarily going to be automatically hunky dory. We are going to learn through this newness together. If we do it with hope and faith, I know that this process has the potential of being fresh and refreshing even with all its difficulties.
So thank you to those who've been praying for our church. Thank you to all who've been a part of this process. I can't express my excitement for the future.
