Thought I would pass on my thoughts about Jelly Roll Johnson's latest recording "The Land Of Dreams." For those of you who don't know, Jelly Roll is originally from Louisiana. His musical thoughts and style drip with that influence. This project is one that I suspect was something he wanted to do for some time.
Over time, do harp players get more jaded than other musicians? About to round up to my 45th year of playing, and with that many years talking to other harp players, it often seems that way. Our instrument just hasn't found its way into a lot of musical styles: Quick, name me the top five jazz, pop, Americana, Grunge and classical players!!
It was early December 2012 when I got a call from my good friend Jelly Roll Johnson. After a bit of Nashville chitchat, Jelly informed me that he was about to record an EP of 7 songs.
This immediately got my attention since Jelly Roll does not take documenting his playing lightly. In February I got another call from the maestro asking if I would be interested in mastering the project. I said yes.
For those of us who pay attention to who's behind the music on hit records, Jelly Roll Johnson is no stranger. His credits over the last 20 years, reads like a who's who of Country Music. So, when Jelly Roll releases a CD with his harmonica playing front and center, it makes me sit up and take notice.
Many friends of mine who usually listen to jazz-blues cds often complain about the boring routine that often is found in west coast modern blues works. These works sometimes are far from the fascinating sounds made by the creators of this style such as T – Bone Walker and George "Harmonica" Smith. Here is a disc that they will certainly like.
Jelly Roll Johnson's latest CD really is superb – the kind of disc you wouldn't be embarrassed to give to a non harp player. I realized I'd listened to 'Songs From The Record Room' a dozen or more times, in every room of the house, for plain musical enjoyment. Really a different response for me – I usually whip out harps and immediately start 'playing along'.
Jelly is a master.Quite often becoming a master involves a process of addition: whereby more techniques, skills, qualities, experiences etc. are accumulated and added, enhancing the doer. A lot can be accomplished this way.Another way involves subtraction: whereby the work is still done, the materials and techniques learned, and rather than adding, they serve to subtract, or remove any blocks, difficulties, preferences etc.
I received my copy of Jelly Roll Johnson's latest CD "Songs From The Record World" last week, and had the opportunity to listen to the CD straight through 4 times on a long drive. And I enjoyed every minute of all 4 spins. The CD is basically a jazz quartet recording with Jelly playing acoustic harp (diatonic and chromatic) backed by a trio of electric guitar, bass, and drums. The overall approach is very traditional in every sense, no wild electronics or frenzied atonal explorations.
I first met Kirk "Jelly Roll" Johnson at a SPAH convention a number of years ago. It was at one of the late night blues jams, and I had no idea who he was, a quiet gentleman with an unassuming manner. Then he tossed off a jaw-dropping solo that was both elegant and soulful, and I nudged the fellow next to me and asked "Who the heck is that guy?" I was informed that he was Mr. Jelly Roll Johnson, a Nashville session player of great renown.
Jelly Roll is not only a master at the musical understatement, but he also has a powerful way of playing to the strengths of the harmonica while still giving a clear nod to the contemporary playing styles. Hear for yourself why he has long been one of Nashville's top players and one of my personal favorites.

Q: where to put highlighting snippet configration in solr 3.4 I'm a beginner in solr, I need to add the highlight configuration (color, snippet, ....) in solrConfig.xml. which tag shall I use?? can anyone give an example ??.
thanks

A: You can specify the highlight parameters in request url as well as solrconfig.xml
The solrconfig.xml file available as a part of the packaged solr example adds in the highlighting settings.
e.g. -
<requestHandler name="/browse" class="solr.SearchHandler">
    <lst name="defaults">
      <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
      .....

      <str name="hl">on</str>
      <str name="hl.fl">text features name</str>
      <str name="f.name.hl.fragsize">0</str>
      <str name="f.name.hl.alternateField">name</str>

      ...
    </lst>

 </requestHandler>

The highlight component can be configured for the fields needed to be highlighted on, the snippets size, count, snippets formatter and much more.
By default the items are highlight using the  tags.
For colored highlight you would need to use the colored fragmentsBuilder and fast vector highlighter.
<str name="hl">on</str>
<str name="hl.fl">text features name</str>
<str name="hl.useFastVectorHighlighter">true</str>
<str name="hl.fragmentsBuilder">colored</str>

Also, for FastVectorHighlighter requires the field is termVectors=on, termPositions=on and termOffsets=on
   <field name="text" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true" termVectors="true" termPositions="true" termOffsets="true"/>

Detailed list of parameters @ http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HighlightingParameters

A: I have try
<str name="hl">on</str>
<str name="hl.fl">text features name</str>
<str name="hl.useFastVectorHighlighter">true</str>
<str name="hl.fragmentsBuilder">colored</str>

And don't work,
if use sample_techproducts_configs,hightlight will work

Feherty Falls Victim to Ye Olde Double Standard
May 11, 2009 By Trey Garrison 8 Comments
As Tim reports, David Feherty is in danger of losing his CBS gig because of a joke he wrote in the print product in the magazine where yours truly is one of the contributing editors.
But this video clip below is OK, where even Mr. Obama guffawed, I guess since the target was on the right side of the binary line.
(I guffawed, too. Sykes and Feherty were funny. So the Always Indignant on both sides can suck it.)
Filed Under D Magazine, FAIL, Media Driven Panics
If not for humor, our lives would be pretty pitiful. But some people just can't take a joke, including this correspondents' dinner attendee: http://www.kansascity.com/stargazing/story/1190507.html
Dallasite says:
I heard a variation of the offending joke two months ago from a banker friend (his bank did not accept TARP money). I thought it was funny, but not print worthy. Feherty should have known that the national sense of humor only goes one way, to the Left.
John Cereghin says:
If Feherty was a black female liberal, no one would say anything, right?
I didn't find either of the jokes particularly funny or offensive; I'm not a big fan, but Limbaugh isn't an elected official, and even though we all know Obama would love to shut him up with the "Fairness Doctrine" I think it's reprehensible to witness the POTUS chortle at the thought of Limbaugh suffering organ failure.
I think it's reprehensible to NOT see someone chortle at the thought of Limbaugh suffering organ failure.
1) Neither Sykes nor Feherty are particularly funny, at least in these instances.
2) Nor are they particularly offensive. Mildy so, perhaps, but that's humor for ya, or in this case, failed attempts thereat. (Thereat would make a useful word, if it isn't one.)
3) Unless the definition of "to chortle" has been amended to denote "to smile with evident unease," Obama didn't.
4) Everybody's organs fail eventually. But only a small subset of people are shot dead on an elevator by a U.S. soldier. Not sure where I'm going with No. 4.
Vines & Cattle says:
When in doubt, always ask, WWHD?
• By the end of the night, Christopher Hitchens was of course the last man (barely) standing, and he had some choice words for the evening's headlining comedian, Wanda Sykes. "The president should be squirming in his seat. Not smiling," he said. "The black dyke got it wrong. No one told her the rules."
http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2009/05/the_unseen_moments_of_the_whca.html
"Unless the definition of "to chortle" has been amended to denote "to smile with evident unease," Obama didn't." Daniel
Trey calls it "guffawed", I say he chortled, another might pronounce his reaction as chuckling, giggling or tittering; it really doesn't matter, Obama was at ease and enjoying the monologue
I think it's safe to assume Obama's not a fan of Limbaugh's.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/4331839/Barack-Obama-picks-a-fight-with-Rush-Limbaugh-as-bipartisan-spirit-crumbles.html

"To me, it appears no unjust simile to compare the affairs of this great Continent to the mechanism of a clock, each state representing some one or other of the smaller parts of it which they are endeavoring to put in fine order without considering how useless & unavailing their labor is unless the great Wheel or Spring which is to set the whole in motion is also well attended to & kept in good order." - Letter to George Mason, March 27, 1779
"Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" - Letter to James Warren, March 31, 1779
"It is most devoutly to be wished that the several States would adopt some vigorous measures for the purpose of giving credit to the paper currency and punishment of speculators, forestallers and others who are preying upon the vitals of this great Country and putting every thing to the utmost hazard. Alas! what is virtue come to; what a miserable change has four years produced in the temper and dispositions of the Sons of America! It really shocks me to think of it!" - Letter to Burwell Bassett, April 22, 1779
"What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ." - Speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs, May 12, 1779
"I am glad you have brought three of the Children of your principal Chiefs to be educated with us. I am sure Congress will open the Arms of love to them, and will look upon them, and will look upon them as their own Children, and will have them educated accordingly. This is a great mark of your confidence and of your desire to preserve friendship between the Two Nations to the end of time, and to become One People with your Brethren of the United States. My ears hear with pleasure the other matters you mention. Congress will be glad to hear them too. You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are. Congress will do everything they can to assist you in this wise intention; and to tie the knot of friendship and union so fast, that nothing shall ever be able to loose it." - To the Chiefs of the Delaware Indian tribe, who had brought three youths to be trained in American schools, May 12, 1779
"To please every body is impossible; were I to undertake it I should probably please no body. If I know myself I have no partialities. I have from the beginning, and I will to the end pursue to the best of my judgment and abilities one steady line of conduct for the good of the great whole. This will, under all circumstances administer consolation to myself however short I may fall of the expectations of others." - Letter to John Armstrong, May 18, 1779
"To stand well in the estimation of one's country is a happiness that no rational creature can be insensible of." - Letter to Joseph Reed, July 29, 1779
"Many and pointed orders have been issued against that unmeaning and abominable custom of Swearing, not withstanding which, with much regret the General observes that it prevails, if possible, more than ever; His feelings are continually wounded by the Oaths and Imprecations of the soldiers whenever he is in hearing of them. The Name of That Being, from whose bountiful goodness we are permitted to exist and enjoy the comforts of life is incessantly imprecated and prophaned in a manner as wanton as it is shocking. For the sake therefore of religion, decency and order, the General hopes and trusts that officers of every rank will use their influence and authority to check a vice, which is as unprofitable as it is wicked and shameful. If officers would make it an invariable rule to reprimand, and if that does not do punish soldiers for offences of this kind it could not fail of having the desired effect." - General Orders, July 29, 1779
"I hate deception, even where the imagination only is concerned." - Letter to Dr. John Cochran, August 16, 1779

"And above all... He hath diffused the glorious light of the gospel, whereby, through the merits of our gracious Redeemer; we may become the heirs of His eternal glory." - General Orders, quoting a congressional proclamation, November 27, 1779
"A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man, that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of his friends, and that the most liberal professions of good will are very far from being the surest marks of it." - Letter to Major General John Sullivan, December 15, 1779

"The best way to preserve the confidence of the people durably is to promote their true interests." - Letter to Joseph Reed, July 4, 1780
"When any great object is in view, the popular mind is roused into expectation, and prepared to make sacrifices both of ease and property. If those, to whom they confide the management of their affairs, do not call them to make these sacrifices, and the object is not attained, or they are involved in the reproach of not having contributed as much as they ought to have done towards it, they will be mortified at the disappointment, they will feel the censure, and their resentment will rise against those, who, with sufficient authority, have omitted to do what their interest and their honor required." - Letter to Joseph Reed, July 4, 1780
"Extensive powers not exercised as far as was necessary have, I believe, scarcely ever failed to ruin the possessor." - Letter to Joseph Reed, July 4, 1780
"Unless the States will content themselves with a full and well-chosen representation in Congress and vest that body with absolute powers in all matters relative to the great purposes of war, and of general concern... we are attempting an impossibility, and very soon shall become (if it is not already the case) a many-headed monster--a heterogenious mass--that never will or can steer to the same point." - Letter to Fielding Lewis, July 6, 1780
"To rectify past blunders is impossible, but we might profit by the experience of them." - Letter to Fielding Lewis, July 6, 1780
"We shall never have Peace till the enemy are convinced that we are in a condition to carry on the War. It is no new maxim in politics that for a nation to obtain Peace, or insure it, It must be prepared for War." - Letter to Fielding Lewis, July 6, 1780
"Had we formed a permanent army in the beginning, which, by the continuance of the same men in service, had been capable of discipline, we never should have had to retreat with a handful of men across the Delaware in '76, trembling for the fate of America, which nothing but the infatuation of the enemy could have saved; we should not have remained all the succeeding winter at their mercy, with sometimes scarcely a sufficient body of men to mount the ordinary guards, liable at every moment to be dissipated, if they had only thought proper to march against us; we should not have been under the necessity of fighting at Brandywine, with an unequal number of raw troops, and afterwards of seeing Philadelphia fall a prey to a victorious army; we should not have been at Valley Forge with less than half the force of the enemy, destitute of every thing, in a situation neither to resist nor to retire; we should not have seen New York left with a handful of men, yet an overmatch for the main army of these States, while the principal part of their force was detached for the reduction of two of them; we should not have found ourselves this spring so weak, as to be insulted by five thousand men, unable to protect our baggage and Magazines, their security depending on a good countenance, and a want of enterprise in the enemy; we should not have been the greatest part of the war inferior to the enemy, indebted for our safety to their inactivity, enduring frequently the mortification of seeing inviting opportunities to ruin them pass unimproved for want of a force, which the country was completely able to afford; to see the Country ravaged, our towns burnt, the inhabitants plundered, abused, murdered with impunity from the same cause. There is every reason to believe, the War has been protracted on this account. Our opposition being less, made the successes of the enemy greater. The fluctuation of the army kept alive their hopes, and at every period of the dissolution of a considerable part of it, they have flattered themselves with some decisive advantages. Had we kept a permanent army on foot, the enemy could have had nothing to hope for, and would in all probability have listened to terms long since." - Letter to the President of Congress, August 20, 1780

Trump Is Only Person in the White House Who Wants Iran Deal Scrapped
By Graham Lanktree On 10/16/17 at 8:29 AM EDT
U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters after meeting with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and his national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, at Trump's golf estate in Bedminster, New Jersey, on August 11. Jonathan Ernst/Reuters
U.S. Donald Trump Iran Iran Deal Nuclear weapons
Democrat Nancy Pelosi has claimed that President Donald Trump "went rogue" with his move to end the Iran nuclear deal, as members of Trump's Cabinet seek to downplay his opposition to the agreement signed between Tehran, the U.S. and Europe under Barack Obama.
The Democratic House minority leader said in an interview on This Week with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, "This week, the week of Friday the 13th, is the week that President Trump went rogue."
Pelosi, a representative of California, said Trump's decision on Iran, along with Trump's executive order on health care and his tax plan, were based on "things that are not based on evidence."
On Friday, Trump announced that he will decertify, but not outright cancel, the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement because "Iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal." Trump is kicking the accord to Congress, indicating it should consider imposing sanctions.
The pact—signed between the United States, Iran, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, the European Union, France and Germany—has stopped Iran from working on a nuclear weapon in exchange for lifting damaging economic sanctions.
While Trump said Iran has "multiple violations of the agreement," the International Atomic Energy Agency, which conducts strict monitoring procedures, says Iran is honoring its side of the accord. America's allies and Tehran have said they will continue to honor the deal as written.

"We are working as Europeans to keep the Iran nuclear deal going," said U.K. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson ahead of an EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting Monday. "The U.K. has long thought that was very important for our collective security."

— Foreign Office 🇬🇧 (@foreignoffice) October 16, 2017
Experts and politicians argue that meddling with the agreement could see it fail and kick off a crisis where Iran would restart its program to obtain a nuclear weapon. At the beginning of 2016, Tehran removed the core of its Arak nuclear reactor and filled it with concrete as part of the accord, so that it couldn't create weapons-grade plutonium.
Despite Trump's attack on the pact, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley and other senior members of the administration argued that Trump wants to "stay in the deal" and improve it.
"We're in the deal to see how we can make it better. And that's the goal. It's not that we're getting out of the deal. We're just trying to make the situation better so that the American people feel safer," Haley said. "Our European allies need to remember they're not the ones the threats are coming to."
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson delivered a similar line in his appearance on CNN's State of the Union Sunday. "Let's see if we cannot address the flaws within the [Iran] agreement by staying within the agreement, working with the other signatories," he said.
During his 2016 election campaign Trump called the Iran agreement the "worst deal ever."
As president, he has certified the pledge, which is reviewed every 90 days to ensure Iran is in compliance, twice already. Yet his signature was obtained only after heated arguments with his advisers.
Even so, "the president is not walking away from the deal yet," said Trump's national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, on Fox News Sunday. Iran, he said, has to revisit the pact "because otherwise what you do is you just give the Iranians the opportunity to develop the nuclear capability."

Q: Sequelize multiple connections? When using sequlize to connect to a database I create a Sequlize object like this:
sequelize = new Sequelize(settings),

I need the sequlize-object in different modules in my app. Forexample in app.js to establish the connection and models.js, where I make my models
In order to avoid passing around parameters, I would like to create new sequlize-objects in the different models where I need them. Is this ok?

A: I don't think that'll work (well). Instead, what you could do is move the creation of the instance to a module, and use that module whenever you need to access it:
// database.js
var sequelize = require('sequelize');
var settings  = ...;

module.exports = new Sequelize(settings);

// app.js
var sequelize = require('./database');
...

// models.js
var sequelize = require('./database');
...

Because calls to require are cached, the same object will be shared amongst your files.

Anambra Guber: NYSC DG joined Abdulsalami, others at peace accord signing
By TheNigerian	 On Nov 4, 2021
NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim was among dignitaries that witnessed the signing of the Peace Accord by political parties and their candidates ahead of the November 6 Governorship election in Anambra State.
Also in attendance at the event organised by the National Peace Committee in Awka today were the Chairman of the Committee and former Head of State General Abdulsalami Abubakar; INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu; General Officer Commanding 82 Division Nigerian Army Major General TA Lagbaja; representative of the Inspector-General of Police, other top security officers, traditional rulers and clerics.
In his address, the Chairman of the National Peace Committee General Abdulsalami Abukakar decried violence, ballot box snatching, vote buying and other irregularities that often marred elections in the country.
He said the committee, which had been contributing to the improvement of the electoral process since its inception, was concerned about the peace of Anambra State.
Abubakar, therefore, called on all the political parties and their supporters to be committed to ensuring violence-free election and accept the outcome.
In his remarks, the INEC Chairman Professor Mahmood Yakubu commended the National Peace Committee for its role in ensuring credible and peaceful conduct of elections in the country.
Yakubu noted that the accord brokered by the Committee contributed in no small measure to the peaceful conduct of the Governorship Elections in Edo and Ondo States last year, while also expressing confidence that similar feat would be achieved with that of Anambra State.
He called on all parties that signed the accord to abide by its spirit and letters.

He thanked the agencies for their support for the Scheme, especially in the area of security and welfare of Corps members, and called for the sustenance of the cordial working relationship.
In their separate responses, the Commander 302 Artillery Regiment Colonel AB Usman and the Commissioner of Police Mr. Echeng E. Echeng assured of their support for the Scheme be sustained.
Ibrahim also addressed Corps members in Awka, the State capital. He enjoined those of them that would be engaged in the conduct of the election to perform their duty with high sense of responsibility.
He urged them to act as impartial umpires and be guided by the provisions of the electoral laws.

"I've got my ideal job. I like to sing, I like to dance, I like to bang drums and dress up and someone pays me - it's incredible."
On stage Florence's fashion sense gets incredibly eccentric. She cites The Lady of Shalott and Ophelia as some of her inspirations for her onstage persona, but says that in real life she's "kind of prim". I love the solemnity of her eccentricity, both onstage and off: she doesn't clamor for attention, but simply indulges her own imagination – and the result is fascinating.
Her personal style has a darkly ethereal quality, and I love how the edgy elements are always so well balanced by brightness. Her ivory complexion, her fiery red hair, both present wonderful contrasts to the clothes she wears. This outfit is a perfect example, I love all the different elements and how she turns very basic things – red hair, sheers, leather – into something extraordinarily unique.
And I'll say it: I'm a huge fan of her red hair. I actually dyed my hair red for a little while and this is the sort of shade I wanted (but never achieved). I love that fearlessly bold hue and she wears it perfectly! Her look always reminds me of something out of a fairy tale – very Brothers Grimm – and I think her hair plays a big part in that.
"I was imaginative, a bit of a dreamer, but quite a timid child. I wasn't confident...But I do remember being completely involved in imaginary games that would last for days, weeks. It was always magic, sorcery, living in the trees. A lot of just living in imaginary worlds. I don't think I've lost that."
Are you a fan of Flo, her creative style and her beautiful music? Let's take a page out of her book: what would your style be like if you dressed for the imaginary worlds you dreamed up as a child?


I make strange animations, that look like music videos and strange music videos, that look like animation.
We write a lot about music, goth and electro bands but have you ever wondered who makes their great music videos? We introduce Kol Belov, the master of horror gothic flash animation. If you have never heard about him his website is worth visiting.
You are pretty well known in Eastern Europe. Can you introduce yourself for Belgian readers?
Hello , I am an animation artist from Russia, my name is Nikolaj Belov, but Kol Belov is kind of easier. I make strange animations, that look like music videos and strange music videos, that look like animation.
How come you are into flash animation?
I made my first cartoon in the year 2000 when I just got to know flash macromedia. It is the most accesible program for me.
You are well known as a person who has a lot of fantasies. What inspires you?
My inspiration comes from music, movies, dreams... basically everything.
Which kind of music do you listen to at home?
Old industrial, black metal and Russian folk music but... I am not that much into music.
What do you think about comics?
I got interested in comics when I first saw "Pif" at my friends' place. Now I mostly collect books with horror stories. I have a lot of favourite authors.
I have not really been searching for that. I have sent my movies where people asked me to send them. Now I have to do this things myself but I am too lazy.
Yes I love them, there has been only one festival which was not afraid to show the music video I made.
For the future I plan to make a lot of evil cartoons.

We identified 120 surgeons who reported treating at least 1908 patients with FAI by hip arthroscopy in the NHS in the financial year 2011/12. There were 34 hospital trusts that performed ≥ 20 arthroscopic FAI operations in the year. We found that clinicians were positive about a RCT: only half reported equipoise, but most said that they would be prepared to randomise patients. Patients strongly supported a RCT, but expressed concerns about its design; these were used to develop patient information for the pilot RCT. We developed a surgical protocol and showed that this could be used in a RCT. We developed a physiotherapy-led exercise-based package of best conservative care called 'personalised hip therapy' and showed that this was practicable. In the pilot RCT, we recruited 42 out of 60 eligible patients (70%) across nine sites. The mean duration and recruitment rate across all sites were 4.5 months and one patient per site per month, respectively. The lead site recruited for the longest period (9.3 months) and accrued the largest number of patients (2.1 patients per month). We recorded and analysed 84 diagnostic and recruitment consultations in 60 patients and used these to develop a model for an optimal recruitment consultation. We identified the International Hip Outcome Tool at 12 months as an appropriate outcome measure and estimated the sample size for a full trial as 344 participants: a number that could be recruited in 25 centres over 18 months.

David Bowie abandoned covering Bruce Springsteen after meeting him
John Earls Aug 19, 2016 1:05 pm BST
Producer Tony Visconti recalls tense meeting between the pair
David Bowie abandoned work on a cover of a Bruce Springsteen song after playing his cover version to the singer, Bowie's producer has revealed.
Tony Visconti revealed that Bowie planned to cover Springsteen's song 'It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City' during the sessions for what would eventually become Bowie's 1975 album 'Young Americans'.
Writing in the new Uncut, Visconti recalled how he asked Springsteen to visit Bowie in the studio in Philadelphia. Visconti wrote: "David was quite taken by meeting Bruce. We played 'Saint' to him and he kept a poker face the whole time. He said nothing when it was finished.
"David took him into another room for a private chat. By the time Bruce left, he was more pleasant and said his goodbyes to the rest of us. David and I never worked on 'Saint' after that, although it was finished or re-recorded eventually with someone else."
Bowie's version of the song, which appears on Springsteen's 1973 debut album 'Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ', eventually appeared on his 1989 box-set 'Sound + Vision'.
The new David Bowie box-set 'Who Can I Be Now? 1974-76', out September 23, includes 'Young Americans' and previously-unreleased album 'The Gouster', which eventually transformed into 'Young Americans'. It also features new rarities/unreleased album 'Re-Call 2', the albums 'Diamond Dogs' and 'Station To Station' plus live albums 'David Live' and 'Live Nassau Coliseum 76'.
Uncut relaunches this issue, with a new contemporary design. The magazine will champion new artists, while continuing to celebrate epoch-making past music.

The advanced lifestyle of the human race involves heavy usage of various gadgets which require copious supplies of energy for uninterrupted functioning. Due to the ongoing depletion of fossil fuels and the accelerating demand for other energy resources, renewable energy sources, especially solar cells, are being extensively explored as viable alternatives. Flexible solar cells have recently emerged as an advanced member of the photovoltaic family; the flexibility and pliability of these photovoltaic materials are advantageous from a practical point of view. Conventional flexible solar cell materials, when dispersed in solvents, are usually volatile and create severe stability issues when incorporated in devices. Recently, non-volatile, less viscous functional molecular liquids/gels have been proposed as potential materials for use in foldable device applications. This perspective article discusses the scope of surface-modified non-volatile molecular and nanomaterials in liquid/gel forms in the manufacturing and deployment of flexible photovoltaics.


"I just wanted to let you folks know how impressed I am with your company. I found a hairline crack in a wheel from my BMW 540i and called to see if I could drop it off for an evaluation this past Friday. Kim made an appointment for me at 11:00 on Saturday. (I thought it was kinda weird to need an appointment just to look at the problem).
The next day when I arrived at the shop, they took a look, and said, "Sure we can fix that ... it will take about an hour." Holy $#!% ... YOU CAN FIX IT NOW! ... WHILE I WAIT??! 45 minutes later it came out better than new!! The workmanship was flawless. The cost was more than reasonable. The warranty is ironclad... what more could you ask for? The guys even took the time to discuss wheel refinishing options and NEVER USED HARD SELL TACTICS!!
I will certainly be back for some future "projects" many times over!! Wishing you continued success for the next hundred years at least! Thanks WHEEL COLLISION CENTER."

The 19th G7 Summit was held in Tokyo, Japan, on July 7–9, 1993. The venue for the summit meetings was the State Guesthouse in Tokyo, Japan. The Group of Seven (G7) was an unofficial forum which brought together the heads of the richest industrialized countries: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada (since 1976) and the President of the European Commission (starting officially in 1981). The summits were not meant to be linked formally with wider international institutions; and in fact, a mild rebellion against the stiff formality of other international meetings was a part of the genesis of cooperation between France's President Giscard d'Estaing and West Germany's Chancellor Helmut Schmidt as they conceived the first Group of Six (G6) summit in 1975.

WIN Supports Its Community
The Susan M. Senger Women's Symposium
We are excited to announce the merger between Women in Networking (WIN) and For the Girls International's Better Together Network (BTN)!
In the video below, Krista Jensen (President of WIN) and Tracey Metzger (founder of FTGI) share about how the seed of this partnership was planted many years ago by WIN's founder Susan M. Senger. Click below to watch the video.
WIN began with a group of six women - led by Susan Senger - in 2004. WIN grew into a powerful community of hundreds of members committed to supporting each other personally and professionally. We now have the opportunity and blessing to bring that to the next level by merging with BTN. The Better Together Network is the networking arm of For the Girls International, a community of women geared to awakening purpose, mobilize potential by working together to shine light with who they are and what they do! We are beyond grateful for the opportunity to be welcome them into their family.
We are grateful for all the BTN and WIN leaders who have embraced this merger and are ready to continue serving our Tampa Bay community as we expand our reach of influence and start offering more opportunities for women to connect with each other in real-life and build stronger personal and business relationships. We invite you to participate in all or WIN and BTN gatherings. For the remainder of the month and all of August BTN has extended special pricing for all active WIN Members. Those codes were sent in an email to all active WIN Members. Register @www.ftgi.org.
We walk into this new season knowing that we are Better Together an that, together, we will shine a brighter light into the world!

The Marriage Vow
[trad. arr. Brinsford / Carthy / Evans / Kirkpatrick / Williams]
Brass Monkey playes this tune in 2004 on their fifth album, Flame of Fire . John Kirkpatrick commented in the sleeve notes:
John Playford was a music publisher who had the brilliant idea of issuing a book of notations and tunes for Country Dances in 1651— The English Dancing Master . It was the first book in the world to feature printed music, and it was a smash hit, which he and his family kept running for years. From there com Maiden Lane (1651), New Whitehall (1701), Dick's Maggot (1702), and The Queen's Birthday (1703).
Another tune in Mr Playford's first edition of 1651 was called Saturday Night and Sunday Morn. A rare survivor, this was still being extensively used by Cotswold Morris Dancers over two hundred years later. To one of the Longborough versions of this tune, under the name The Marriage Vow, Martin Brinsford spent many happy years dancing with The Gloucestershire Old Spot Morris Dancers.

A senior Vatican official said Wednesday that Pope John Paul II had given his full support to Nicaraguan church leaders in a confrontation with the Managua government about what critics call harassment of the church and human rights violations.
The Roman Catholic Church's complaints are expected to be raised at a meeting between Cardinal Miguel Obando y Bravo, archbishop of Managua, and President Daniel Ortega Saavedra.
Ortega repeatedly has sought direct contacts with the pope to discuss disputes. But the church official said Obando had been authorized to insist that the government first must prove its good faith in talks with local church officials before the Vatican would consider negotiations with the Sandinistas. "We have no reason to be optimistic," said the senior Vatican official, who asked not to be identified. "We do not really expect any movement."
In preparing for the meeting with Ortega, the Vatican has encouraged Obando to depict what he calls Sandinista interference with church activities as human rights violations rather than simply an issue of the church-state relationship, the Vatican official said.
The Vatican has grown increasingly distressed about the situation in Nicaragua during the past six months, and by authorizing Obando to speak for the pope in taking a hard line with the Sandinistas, it appears to have moved another step toward outright confrontation with the government.
The deterioration of relations is particularly evident in the Vatican's intent to pose its complaints in a human rights framework.
"It is expected that Cardinal Obando will use human rights language to discuss the situation in Nicaragua because it is broader than talking just about the church's problems," the official said. "The pope believes the Sandinistas' actions are affecting the entire population, not simply the church as one institution."
On a trip to the United States last month, Ortega said he wanted to establish a constructive dialogue with the Vatican and suggested creating an ecumenical commission to mediate disputes.
The Vatican has rejected that proposal as a "tactic to bypass the local bishops," the official said.
He added that the pope was prepared to back Obando in demanding that the Sandinistas reverse a series of actions viewed as hostile to the church and human rights violations.
The official said the pontiff believed Ortega wanted to avoid a complete break in relations with the church and that he was aware the Sandinistas' image abroad was suffering to the extent that it was perceived as persecuting the church.
