On This Day (November 1)…Works The Second

Emerson, Lake & Palmer released Works, Volume 2 on this day in 1977.
Album cover. Retrieved from here.
When this album came out, the group were on their Works Tour. They had begun it the previous spring, then to back this album's immediate predecessor Works, Volume 1. While the first leg of the tour featured a great deal of music from Works 1, the second and third legs of the tour drew fairly heavily from Works 2.
This album was a grab bag of ELP's left-over studio work, some reaching as far back as the Brain Salad Surgery sessions. One track, "Brain Salad Surgery", was reportedly even written for the album in case Keith Emerson could not get permission from Alberto Ginastera to cover his work for "Toccata". The song "When the Apple Blossoms Bloom in the Windmills of Your Mind I'll Be Your Valentine", meanwhile, served as the B-Side to "Jerusalem" from the aforementioned album when it was released as a single.
The album also featured covers of several notable artists' work, including Meade Lux Lewis' "Honky Tonk Train Blues", Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" and the full ELP treatment for Greg Lake's own high-charting single "I Believe in Father Christmas".
As usual, upon its release, Robert Christgau had less-than-kind things to say. However, retrospective reviews have praised the album, noting its energy and strong lyrics put in by Peter Sinfield. Fans responded reasonably well upon its release, and the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America about two months after it first hit the shelves. While this was the slowest album to earn gold certification since Trilogy and lagged far behind the mere twelve-day gap between Works 1's release and RIAA certification, the endorsement still came fairly quickly. In Germany, the album only spent one week on the charts at #50.
If you're not familiar with the album, it's available on YouTube here.

Q: Distinct eigenvalues' eigenvector Assume that $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are distinct eigenvalues of the $n\times n$ matrix $A$. Prove that an $n\times 1$ vector $x$,
which is not a null vector, cannot be an eigenvector of both $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$.

A: Suppose for contradiction that $\vec{x}$ is an eigenvector of both $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$. Then we have $A\vec{x}= \lambda_1 \vec{x}$ and $A\vec{x} = \lambda_2 \vec{x}$. So $\lambda_1 \vec{x} = \lambda_2 \vec{x}$. Multiplying both sides by $\vec{x}^*$ we obtain:
$\lambda_1 \vec{x} (\vec{x}^*) = \lambda_2 \vec{x} (\vec{x}^*)$. (i)
Note that $\vec{x}(\vec{x}^*) = ||\vec{x}||^2 \neq 0$ as $\vec{x}$ is non-zero. Multiplying both sides of (i) by $\frac{1}{||\vec{x}||^2}$ we obtain $\lambda_1=\lambda_2$. This is a contradiction as $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are distinct. It follows that there cannot be a non-zero eigenvector (in this space) possessing multiple eigenvalues. Here $\vec{x}^*$ denotes the complex conjugate of $\vec{x}$. If the entries of $\vec{x}$ are real, then $\vec{x}^*$ is the transpose of $\vec{x}$.

A: If
$Ax = \lambda_1 x, \tag 1$
and
$Ax = \lambda_2 x, \tag 2$
then
$0 = Ax - Ax = \lambda_1x - \lambda_2x = (\lambda_1 -\lambda_2)x, \tag 3$
if
$\lambda_1 \ne \lambda_2, \tag 4$
so that
$\lambda_1 -\lambda_2 \ne 0, \tag 5$
then from (3),
$x = 0; \tag 6$
but this is precluded by the hypothesis
$x \ne 0; \tag 7$
we conclude that (1) and (2) cannot both bind.
Note added in Edit; Saturday 25 April 2020 8:38 PM PST:  It is worth noting that the preceding demonstration does not require the entries of $A$ or $x$, or $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$, to take values in $\Bbb Q$, $\Bbb R$, or $\Bbb C$, or indeed in any field.  What does appear to be necessary is that $\lambda_1 - \lambda_2 \ne 0$ can be cancelled from both sides of (3), yielding (5).  So for example if we are working over an integral domain $D$, with $A \in M_n(D)$ etc. then the argument succeeds; this is true even if $D$ does not support an inner product on vectors such as $x$.  Such would be the case if for instance $D = \Bbb F_p$, the finite field with prime $p$ elements, and $n = p$. End of Note.

Major League Baseball strikes sponsorship deal with CBD maker Charlotte's Web

Major League Baseball is getting into the CBD game.
The league is teaming up with Charlotte's Web Holdings Inc., a maker of CBD products, in an exclusive multi-year partnership. The deal marks the first time one of the four major U.S. professional sports leagues has formed a sponsorship agreement with a CBD company.
Charlotte's Web makes CBD products like gummies and topical sprays. CBD is short for cannabidiol, a compound found in the cannabis plant, and has been touted as a natural remedy for reducing inflammation and stress. The compound has been added to a variety of products.
Charlotte's Web will become the "Official CBD of Major League Baseball."
MLB paved the way for the agreement in June, when it officially allowed clubs to score sponsorships with CBD companies that are certified for sport by NSF, an organization that establishes standards for products used by athletes.
The agreement between MLB and Charlotte's Web came after a "rigorous approval process," the league said in a release.
Celebrities and athletes have also endorsed CBD products. Hall of Fame NFL running back Terrell Davis partnered with investors in 2018 to create a CBD-infused sports drink.
The MLB partnership also comes as Charlotte's Web is set to release Daily Edge, a tincture and the first CBD product to be certified for sport by NSF. The product, set to be released Wednesday, will feature MLB's logo on its bottle.
Although the Food and Drug Administration has not certified CBD products, their popularity has grown exponentially. In 2021 the U.S. CBD market topped $4.7 billion in total sales, according to the release.

Legume inoculant comparison: on-seed trumps in-furrow
Author: Sharon Watt | Date: 28 Aug 2017
Research comparing different methods of inoculating legumes has been led by Matt Denton (pictured) from The School of Agriculture, Food and Wine, The University of Adelaide.
On-seed application of peat slurry has provided the best nodulation, grain yield and nitrogen fixation in experiments comparing different methods of inoculating legumes.
The research, conducted as part of a Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) investment, concluded that on-seed inoculation was "consistently superior" to in-furrow inoculation in terms of nodulation and crop productivity.
Eight field experiments were conducted over two years at four different locations in south-eastern Australia to quantify the response of lupin and faba bean to three inoculant methods: on-seed application as a peat slurry; in-furrow peat inoculant delivered as a liquid suspension at seeding; and in-furrow peat granules delivered at seeding.
Uninoculated treatments were also included in the experiments which were located at Mininera, Rutherglen and Boorhaman North in Victoria, and Culcairn in New South Wales.
Research leader Matt Denton, from The School of Agriculture, Food and Wine, The University of Adelaide, said the aim of the study was to determine whether inoculation application methodologies altered the patterns of nodulation on roots, and if so, whether this influenced nitrogen (N) fixation, crop growth or grain yield.
"The experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that granular and liquid inoculants increase nodulation on lateral roots, with subsequent positive impacts on legume productivity," Dr Denton said.
"But in our study, peat slurry inoculation on the seed, which increased nodulation around the root crown, had generally higher grain yields than other treatments. In contrast, in-furrow granular and liquid inoculants had more varied yield patterns."
Dr Denton said the benefits of deeper, lateral nodulation may in fact be dependent on other factors such as soil water availability, protection of the inoculant from adverse conditions, and seasonal environmental conditions.
Symbiotic N fixation is a key biological process in legumes that supports plant growth and the production of high-protein seed and forage. The establishment of legume root nodules with a functioning N-fixing symbiosis requires that an appropriate root nodule bacteria (rhizobia) is already established in the soil, or that rhizobia are supplied at sowing by inoculation.
On-seed inoculation is the conventional form of legume inoculation and has served legume growers well for more than 100 years. This procedure ensures that inoculant rhizobia are delivered into the soil in the immediate vicinity of the emerging root. However, the procedure is somewhat time-consuming, especially with larger-seeded legumes, and it may represent a bottleneck at sowing.
In recent times some Australian growers have drilled liquid and solid granule formulations of rhizobial inoculants directly into the furrow. In-furrow inoculation has potential to mitigate against certain drawbacks of the traditional peat inoculant applied to the seed. In-furrow inoculation provides greater flexibility in sowing logistics and separates the inoculant from seed-applied fungicides and insecticides that may be hazardous to rhizobial survival.
Dr Denton said until now, gaps in knowledge existed in terms of how each of these different inoculation application methods performed in the field, under different environments and farming systems.
To assist in answering some of those questions, the GRDC invested in a study that was activated in 2008, involving researchers from The University of Adelaide, Agriculture Victoria, La Trobe University and CSIRO. Nodulation, peak biomass production, seed yield, N content and N fixation were measured for all treatments in 2008 and 2010.
"The evidence from our experiments was conclusive – in terms of most parameters of nodulation and crop productivity, on-seed inoculation was consistently superior to in-furrow inoculation," Dr Denton said. "However, there were few differences between the two forms of in-furrow inoculation – liquid and granules."
Total N fixed was measured at an average of 180 kg N/ha for peat compared with 110 kg N/ha for in-furrow granules and 104 kg N/ha for liquid. Faba bean yields were the most notable in terms of difference, being an average of 2.40 t/ha when inoculated with in-furrow granules compared to 2.22 (in-furrow granules) and 2.06 (liquid).
In the study, all three methods of inoculation generally increased nodulation, N fixation and grain yield, relative to uninoculated treatments. Dr Denton said data from the experiments at Culcairn also illustrated the large economic benefits derived from using a quality inoculant, in any form, at an approximate cost of $10/hectare when soil rhizobia numbers are either low or absent.
"Under these conditions, the contribution of the additional N fixed and net N returned to soil in legume residues was equivalent to an input of $95-$115/ha of urea fertiliser, and the increase observed in faba bean grain yield of 1.94t/ha (relative to uninoculated treatments) was worth over $500/ha, based on grain prices at the time," Dr Denton said.
GRDC Manager Soils and Nutrition – South, Stephen Loss, says legume crops and pastures deliver an incredibly cost-efficient, alternative form of N, as well as acting as weed and disease breaks for cereal crops and generating income and enterprise diversity benefits for growers.
"For many years the GRDC has recognised the importance of adequate nodulation in maximising the benefits of growing legumes and its investments in targeted research, development and extension activities have delivered considerable insights and information on inoculating legumes and nodulation," Dr Loss said. Practical GRDC resources include the popular Inoculating Legumes guide and a new GrowNotes™ Legumes and Nitrogen Fixation Tips and Tactics fact sheet.
Meanwhile, in other related research activities, the influence of pesticides on inoculants is being investigated and an assessment of farmer inoculation practices in Australia is being undertaken.
Improving pulse options and the survival and viability of rhizobia in current farming systems is an issue identified as a high priority by the GRDC's Southern Regional Cropping Solutions Network.

Burma Task Force
Burma Task Force Canada
Allies & Supporters
Who are the Rohingya
Call it Genocide
Call Congress
Aggregated Rohingya News
BTF In the News
"Never again," as was said following the genocidal violence of World War 2, is happening again.
The forced expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims from their homelands in western Burma constitutes one of the most urgent humanitarian emergencies in the world today. The aim of the Burmese government is to literally wipe them off the map.
The United Nations has called the Rohingya Muslims of Rakhine State in western Burma the "most persecuted people in the world." Following years of increasing rights restrictions on the Rohingya minority, the Burmese army has led the campaign to systematically drive the Rohingya from their ancestral homeland in Arakhan (now known as Rakhine) State By very conservative estimates, at least 10,000 have been killed in the ongoing violence, though the real number is almost certainly much greater. Shocking atrocities and mass rapes have taken place, but despite widespread documentation the Burmese government continues to deny them. Over 350 Rohingya villages have been destroyed, making repatriation extremely difficult.
The total number of Rohingya displaced by the genocide in Rakhine is unknown,but an estimated 1.5 million Rohingya refugees have been scattered across South- and Southeast Asia, making the perilous, often fatal journey by land and sea to find some basic measure of security in their lives.
The stateless Rohingya refugees join a larger cohort of almost 70 million refugees worldwide, the largest volume of refugees in modern history.
900,000 Rohingya are displaced into Bangladesh alone, including 340,000 children living in squalid, refugee camp conditions. Some 600,000 of that number reside in the massive, sprawling Kutupalong refugee camp in eastern Bangladesh.
In this location, time is not on the Rohingyas' side. A recent joint study carried out by United Nations agencies and the Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre disclosed that around 200,000 Rohingyas are at risk of landslides and flash floods in the coming monsoon seasons. What is more, the chance of a violent cyclone raises the stakes even higher: past cyclones have led to over 150,000 thousand deaths, which does not even take into account the vulnerabilities inherent in the ramshackle living conditions of the refugees. If a large cyclone were to materialize and strike southern Bangladesh or eastern India the human cost would be astronomical.
Pakistan hosts an estimated 300,000 Rohingya refugees, concentrated mainly in and around Karachi. Karachi's Rohingya community is one of the oldest of the Rohingya diaspora, many of whom arrived fleeing violence in Burma during the 1960s and 1970s. Thousands of Rohingya families are packed into one-room cement houses, particularly in the district of Arakanabad (named after the Rohingya's native region of Arakan in Burma). Conditions are unsanitary in Rohingya neighborhoods and food is scarce.
Most are not able to acquire Pakistani identity cards, which are necessary for basic services such as attending school, using public hospitals, opening bank accounts, and getting formal jobs. This means that the vast majority must work in the informal economic sector, where likelihood of exploitation and mistreatment is high. There is essentially no official public policy for the Rohingya in Pakistan. As one of the largest Rohingya immigrant communities in the world outside Bangladesh or Burma itself, this is a major problem, but decades of life under these conditions has led to a tacit acceptance of the status quo by both the community and the government.
There are roughly half a million Rohingya immigrants currently residing in Saudi Arabia. Rohingyas have sought asylum in the Gulf Kingdom since the extreme communal violence of the early 1970s in Burma. Another large wave arrived following the outbreak of state violence in Burma in 2012. The Rohingya identity is not accepted in Saudi Arabia, which means all Rohingya refugees are essentially mis-classified as Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, or Nepalese. In January 2019, 128 refugees were forcibly deported to the refugee camps in Bangladesh. The detained refugees reported being abused by Saudi immigration police and forced to sign letters consenting to their deportation.
While a large Rohingya community has lived in Saudi Arabia for several decades, recently the environment has grown more difficult, with the Saudi government stepping up its measures to closely monitor the population. Recent asylum-seekers have been detained and sent to internment camps for deportation.
The bulk of the 40,000 Rohingya currently seeking refuge in India began arriving after 2012, following the massive assault by the Burmese army on the population of Rakhine in that year. They are spread across the regions of Jammu, Haryana's Mewat district, Dehli, Hyderabad, Jaipur, and Chennai. Approximately 18,000 of that number are officially registered as refugees with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 3,000 are registered as "asylum-seekers." About 500 of them have long-term visas that allow them access to basic services like opening bank accounts and enrolling in school.
The living conditions are squalid. Most live in large refugee camps, which are essentially a vast network of sprawling, unsanitary slums. Since most do not have visas or citizenship and thus cannot legally work, they are forced to subsist through the informal sector or the black market at poverty wages, without any legal protections and thus likely to be subject to exploitative work conditions. Like refugees everywhere, the Rohingya in India are a marginalized, highly vulnerable group.
However, the situation in India is rapidly deteriorating. Indian society is undergoing a nationwide revival of religio-nationalistic fervor. This trend has driven a spike in communal violence against Muslims in recent years.1 In addition, the Indian government has carried out its own crackdown against its Rohingya community. There are currently more than 200 Rohingya asylum-seekers in jails in different states of India. In October of 2018, the Indian government deported seven Rohingya refugees back to Burma, despite the life-threatening environment there. These Rohingyas were deported as "illegal immigrants." This is a potential sign that the government may be planning to eventually deport many more or even all of the refugees. Furthermore, the Government of India and the Government of Burma have started cooperating to identify Rohingyas in India, and Rohingyas are being forced by Indian authorities to complete an "identification form" that appears to have been directly developed by the Burma government.2 It is almost certain that the express purpose of this form is to facilitate the deportation of more Rohingya refugees.

Malaysia is currently host to over 163,000 Burmese refugees and asylum-seekers, and about 88,000 of these are Rohingya. However, a great deal more may be in the country as unregistered individuals. Malaysia has traditionally been a place of refuge for the Rohingya, but since 2015 the country has been turning away growing numbers of them. However, after the massive outbreak of violence in September 2017, Malaysian government officials stated that no one seeking peace and safety would be turned away.

Although conditions are relatively hospitable for Rohingya in Malaysia, they have no legal rights: no right to work, no right to public education, no right to medical treatment in hospitals, no right to public benefits. As a result they are forced to eke out an existence, like many refugees, in any jobs that can be found in the black or grey-market economy. Children attend schools run by the UNHCR and other non-governmental organizations, of which there are about 50. However, recently the government has indicated that it is considering a new policy for refugees that would allow them to attend public schools and hospitals. There are also pilot projects in development that allow refugees to find legal employment in the workforce.
Notably, Malaysia supports the referral of the Burma genocide to the International Criminal Court as a step toward safe and secure repatriation.
The United States has remained relatively open to Rohingya resettlement, especially since 2012. As of early 2019, about 8,000 Rohingya refugees have resettled in the United States, with particularly large communities located in Milwaukee, Chicago, and Fort Wayne.
In the U.S. Rohingyas face the same challenges refugees everywhere face: linguistic and cultural barriers to integration into the broader society; legal obstacles to steady, secure employment; and difficulty securing important public benefits and resources from the government. But they do enjoy some benefits that are harder to come by in some other countries, such as access to free public education for children and a relatively robust network of nonprofit organizations that are dedicated to refugee rights, security, and empowerment.
While resettlement in the U.S. remains a highly desired goal for many Rohingya refugees, the U.S. has allowed fewer and fewer refugees to enter the country in recent years. In 2018 only about 20,000 total were admitted, which is the lowest number since 1977. However, Congress has passed or proposed several resolutions and bills explicitly calling for official recognition of the genocide in Burma along with the appropriate federal response by the U.S. government. So far these legislative proposals have not successfully passed into law, but a vocal bipartisan constituency continues to highlight the issue and advocate for government action.

Canada is a leading country in the UNHCR's international refugee resettlement program, having consistently accepted thousands of refugee and asylum applicants each year for over a decade. Regarding the Rohingya, about 200 have currently been resettled in Canada. Additionally, and importantly, the Canadian government was the first to come out with an official declaration of genocide in Burma. The current government has made its position on the issue clear: no man-made humanitarian catastrophe of such a magnitude can be idly tolerated, so the international community has the responsibility to act. Canada will also donate over $300 million in the coming years for humanitarian, international aid to the Rohingya.
Refugees enjoy a robust set of rights when moving to or resettling in Canada. These include access to public educational institutions, employment options, and medical coverage, even in the application phase preceding official registration as refugees. Although rights such as these make Canada an exemplary leader in refugee rights, so far the number of Rohingya resettled in the country remains relatively low. Recently, the country offered to resettle a number of the refugees currently living in Bangladesh's Kutupalong refugee camp, but the Bangladeshi government has not accepted the offer as of February 2019.
The issue of citizenship is at the heart of the Rohingya crisis. In Burma, hatred towards the Rohingya has combined with a network of discriminatory laws to generate a culture of hostile intolerance, not to mention a disregard for the human rights enshrined in many international instruments. It has led to forced deportations and mass murder. To fully understand the causes, consequences, and viable solutions of this crisis it is necessary to clearly understand the problem of citizenship and citizens' rights in Burma, particularly as they are defined in the country's constitutional foundation. Such an understanding makes it clear that any real resolution of the conflict must involve the right of safe return under the protections of fully restored citizenship according to the original constitution of the Union of Burma.
To support this goal, this memo defines the issue and lays out the key conditions for a genuine restoration of citizenship for the Rohingya. It therefore explains how a just, safe, and dignified repatriation can be secured as an indispensable element in any process of reconciliation. Accordingly, it will not address in detail the complicated demographic and social history of the

broader region, but will focus instead on the political and legal rationale for citizenship as a condition for the resolution of the crisis and the restoration of peace.
The United Nations has called the Rohingya Muslims of Rakine State in western Burma the "most persecuted people in the world."1 The Burmese army has led the campaign to systematically drive the Rohingya from their ancestral homeland in Arakhan (now known as Rakhine) State. The Rohingya, who are mostly farmers, have almost no means of defense of any kind, much less any that could be effective against a modern, well-armed and professional miltary.2 By very conservative estimates, at least 10,000 have been killed in the ongoing violence since 2017, though the real number is almost certainly much greater. 800,000 are displaced, including 340,000 children living in squalid, refugee camp conditions.3 Meanwhile Buddhist extremists, inflamed by a volatile mix of religious fundamentalism and militant nationalism, have carried out mass pogroms against the Muslim residents of Burmese towns and cities. Some of the country's leading monks excuse and even advocate the wholesale destruction of Rohingya Muslim communities. The civilian government, led by the Nobel Laureate, Aung Suu Kyii, has for all practical purposes looked the other way while an entire people has been driven out by a hate-fueled, forced exodus directly under its watch.
Within Rakhine State itself in Western Burma, the Rohingya live in a state of de facto apartheid. Rohingya Muslims are forced to carry "National ID Cards" clearly marking them as non-citizens – a law stemming from the 1982 Citizenship Act. Without this card they cannot get past police and military checkpoints and can be punished if caught without it. Given the constant military surveillance and harassment, simply moving around freely is impossible for the Rohingya.
The Muslim Rohingya and the Buddhist Rakhine population have a long history of coexistence, mutual respect, and even marital relationship. However, in 1962 a military junta led by the General Ne Win took state power and methodically worked to change this state of affairs. Government authorities within Myanmar now refer to the Rohingya as 'Bengali,' explicitly differentiating them from the Buddhist 'Burmese.' The majority Buddhist population historically enjoyed social and economic privileges that eventually became codified within their government as laws. As a result, "ethnic Burmese groups enjoy certain privileges compared to those labeled as non-Burmese."4 The restoration of citizenship is essential for any viable solution to this de facto state of apartheid. International leaders are beginning to recognize the absolute necessity of restoring citizen status to the Rohingya to secure their safe repatriation to their former homeland.
The Historical and Political Basis of the Right to Citizenship in Burma
The complexities of the citizenship issue in Burma cannot be understood without reference to the country's long history as imperial property. For most of the nineteenth century and until halfway through the twentieth century Burma was a colonial dominion, ruled over first by Great Britain and then, from 1942-45, by the Japanese Empire. Following the close of the war, Burma sought independence from colonial control, which it fully obtained in 1948. The new national government was chartered on the basis of its first constitution in 1947, enacted by the constituent assembly for the post-Independence Union of Burma. This constitution represents the democratic foundation of modern Burma, which was rechristened as Myanmar in 1989.
The founding Myanmar constitution clearly recognizes the right to citizenship of every individual within its territorial borders. It includes the Union Citizenship Act, the original statute of Burmese citizenship, as one of its central pillars. The law states in section 3 (1): "For the purposes of section 11 of the Constitution the expression 'any of the indigenous races' of Burma shall mean the Arakanese, Burmese, Chin, Kachin, Karen, Kayah, Mon or Shan race and such racial group as has settled in any of the territories included within the Union as their permanent home from a period anterior to 1823 A. D. (1185 B.E.)."5 This clause clearly shows the inclusive scope of citizenship in the original constitution, bringing the "Arakanese" as well as any group that has settled prior to 1823 into the Union on equal footing. Unlike the later, controversial 1982 Citizenship Law, indigineity is defined capaciously and inclusively, clearly defining the Arakanese as one of the indigenous races of Burma. Furthermore, the ethnic category "Bengali" is not mentioned in the definition of citizenship. The clause proceeds from the principle of ius soli, the right of citizenship based on birth within the boundaries of a given national territory.
Usage of the term "Arakanese," rather than Rohingya, might seem to leave room for the Burmese government's preference for excluding Rohingya Muslims from the category of "Arakanese." However, the first Prime Minister of Burma, U Nu, made clear that this is not a legitimate interpretation of the constitution when he explicitly recognized the citizenship of all minority communities of Burma. He proclaimed in 1954 that, "the people living in Maungdaw and Buthidaung regions are our nationals, our brethren. They are called Rohingyas…they are one of the ethnic races of Burma." Thus, the first Prime Minister of Burma made it known in no uncertain terms that the Rohingya are indeed recognized as one of the constituent demographic groups of modern, post-colonial Burma.
In sum, the founding document and the first Prime Minister of independent Burma clearly included the people now known as Rohingya in their definitions of national citizenship. This, in turn, means that the later, 1982 Citizenship Law amounts to an arbitrary disenfranchisement of citizenship status and legal protections on the part of the military regime of Myanmar. This contravenes all established standards of international law.
The Return to Ius Sanguinis in the 1982 Citizenship Law
The 1982 Citizenship Law is widely acknowledged to be a watershed document in the history of the Buddhist-Rohingya conflict in Burma. It was the legal culmination of a long, gradual campaign of ethnonationalist retrenchment on the part of Burma's military regime. It codified, in statute, what had been the regime's unofficial policy of ethnic purification on the behalf of the allegedly indigenous Burmese Buddhist majority. The Rohingya were just one of the many minority groups that found themselves being defined out of the national existence of Burma, now deprived of legal rights or protections of any kind. However, as some researchers have noted, "this law was mainly created with the aim of excluding the Rohingyas."6
The 1982 law effectively repealed the Union Citizenship Act of 1948, replacing its implicit promise of birthright citizenship with a blood-and race-based definition of membership in the national Burmese community.7 It listed a three-tiered schedule of citizenship categories, from "full" (native) to "naturalized" (non-native) citizenship, of which the Rohingya were now classified in the third category as naturalized citizens. Having been defined out of the category of "full" [i.e., native] citizenship, the Rohingya were exposed by the law to the arbitrary dicta of the Council of State, or the "Central Body" in the text of the law, which was now empowered to determine which ethnic groups were truly Burmese nationals – and which were not. The law thus imparts autocratic authority to an unaccountable, centralized body to make whatever decisions it likes around the issue of citizenship. Furthermore, in section 58 it stipulates that:
"The "Central Body" (Council of State) may revoke naturalized citizenship if anyone infringes any of the following provisions: trading or communicating with enemy countries or assisting the enemy countries during war; committing any act to endanger sovereignty, showing disaffection or disloyalty to the State, giving information or leaking any secret to other states, or committing any moral crime for which a sentenced of imprisonment has been imposed."8
With this language, the 1982 law opens the door to the arbitrary persecution and disenfranchisement of any minority group that is deemed undesirable by the military regime. The invocation of national security as the ultimate basis for revoking citizenship is ambiguous enough to allow the designation of almost any group as a security threat, should it be so desired. In its claims to be removing a terrorist threat through its assaults on and disenfranchisement of the Rohingya, this is exactly the strategy the Burmese regime is pursuing today.
The 1982 law revokes full citizenship from the Rohingya, which they had previously possessed since the original 1948 constitution, and establishes legal pretexts for the most savage campaigns of persecution and legal disenfranchisement. Looking forward, repatriation on the basis of restored full citizenship for the Rohingya must be at the center of any process of reconciliation.
The Need for Repatriation, Not Refoulement
Now, despite the democratic foundation of Burma, most of its ethnic minorities find themselves under siege from a revanchist military machine. The majority of its victims have been Rohingya Muslims, but the violence is spreading indiscriminately to other groups. Increasingly the Kachin people of Northern Burma, who are 90% Christian, are now staring down the barrels of the guns of the Tatmadaw, which has been waging an escalated war on them since early 2018. The inescapable impression is of a rogue military regime that has spun out of all control. However, this is a mistake. The Burmese military has been systematically pursuing a campaign that capitalizes on domestic, Buddhist fundamentalism to expel certain populations from land that has been targeted for new economic development.9 Indeed, satellite evidence has documented the construction of security bases, infrastructure, and even new settlements atop the burnt remains of destroyed Rohingya villages. The re-population of formerly Rohingya land is one of the overriding goals of the Burmese regime, and it presents serious challenges for the process of repatriation.
Unless the regime is somehow pushed into accepting an internationally supervised process of resettlement, the refugees will face the prospect of intensified persecution on their return. This raises the prospect of refoulement, illegal under international law, in which refugees will be knowingly sent back to dangerous, life-threatening conditions. The Burmese regime has no incentive to allow their return under international supervision without the existence of a credible threat. Up until 2015, that was provided by comprehensive economic sanctions, but closely following their repeal late that year, the Burmese military stepped up its assaults on its minority populations and has not let up since.10 Thus, re-imposing full sanctions, with the exception of food and medicine, should be seen as option for forcing the regime to the bargaining table.
Furthermore, it is critically important to avoid any language referencing a "pathway to citizenship" in any potential agreement. Such phrasing appears, for example, in the "Memorandum of Understanding" between Myanmar, the United Nations Development Program, and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.11 The Burmese regime prefers this language, because it maintains the situation in a state of limbo in which Rohingya can continue to be denied basic rights, such as the right to move around and work freely, under a veneer of legitimacy. The "path to citizenship" effectively never ends.
Instead of the "pathway to citizenship," the campaign for safety, security, and justice for the Rohingya must insist on "full citizenship now." It is only on the basis of a full restoration of citizenship based on the original, 1948 Burmese constitution that the campaign for repatriation can hope to have any chance of success.

Quick Meals - On the Go!
School's out and kids are looking forward to lazy days, action packed-adventures, summer sports, water play and exploration. Mom in the Know has some tips on making this summer a fun one. Make sure that you have this year's must haves ready before the last school bell rings.
Work together to make a family summer bucket list using materials you have readily available at home. It can be as simple as a pad and paper. You could also use sand pails, clothes pins, popsicle sticks or jars and paper. Post it notes also work well for this. Leave the bucket in a place where everyone can see it and add to it as they please.
With the onset of the warm weather comes bug season. Little pests of all kinds wreak havoc on our early summer outings, play dates and get togethers. Don't distress. A few quick tips will help you to keep the bugs and bay and get you on your way to enjoying a glorious start to the summer season.
Mosquitos love dark clothing and they love yoga style, tight pants. To deter the bugs, wear long, light baggy clothing in light or white colours. Choose long pants and long sleeves when you can.
Did you know that blackflies gravitate to the highest point of your body – behind your ears and neck? If you get caught in an area where there are quite a few blackflies buzzing around, put your hand in the air. The flies will go to your hand where they are not likely to bite.
The best way to keep the inset population in check is to plant an organic garden and flowers to attract birds and other insects that will eat the bugs. Songbirds feed loads of insects to their young and to themselves. Woodpeckers and other cavity nesters such as nuthatches, and chickadees also eat insects. Remember the Basicstoads, snakes, bats, dragonflies and spiders and you have a great defense against the summertime bugs.
*The best bloom to attract songbirds in cornflower. Hummingbirds love coral bells. Along with the organic garden, you may want to consider planting insect repelling herbs such as lavender, thyme, mint and citronella near the patios and use fresh plants as bug repellent in a pinch.
Here are a couple of great recipes for natural bug repellents.
Mix those three ingredients together until salt is dissolved and spray anywhere you sit outside. It will not harm plants or flowers.
Ticks have emerged as a real problem lately. Kids love playing in the leaves and grasses that can be heavily populated with ticks which can cause Lyme disease. Make sure your kids are covered up if they are out playing or walking in wooded areas. If you think you have been exposed to ticks, be sure to check for tick bites on your scalp, ankles, armpits, , l and behind your ears and knees. Wash yourself right away and launder your clothing including drying in a hot dryer. Don't forget to check your pets.
Let's not forget the fruit flies. The best way to avoid the flies or course is to keep fresh produce covered and sealed. If you do happen to get a few in your kitchen, try this quick and easy recipe and can be left on the counter to collect the flies.
Add water to create bubbles. That is what traps the fruit flies.
The one thing every mom wants for Mother's Day is more time with her kids. Whether that means going for a family hike, planting flowers or baking a cake, the experiences you share create lasting memories. Include a thoughtful gift to remind her of the day and you have the perfect Mother's Day plan.
Does your mom have a green thumb? Indulge her love for gardening with a day spent in the dirt. Come prepared with a thoughtful selection of seeds and bulbs.
After you've tended the flowers, take a break to drink some lemonade and present Mom with some beautiful Gardenering Hand Cream from Terra 20.
Recapture old traditions with a picnic in the park. Good food and some fun games are all you need for a wonderful afternoon with mom. Need some help with a few goodies or a perfect gift? Thyme and Again has a beautiful selection of gift baskets, napkins and scrumptious treats for you Mom.
The mom who loves the great outdoors won't say no to a hike, so go ahead and hit the trail. Explore the Gatineau Hills or stick to your own neighbourhood. Is Mom and avid hiker? She will love one of these beautiful daypacks from Mountain Equipment Co-op.
There's nothing like a leisurely bike ride on Mother's Day. Our city is full of lovely bike paths and green spaces for you to enjoy together. Gather the family for a ride and don't forget the bike-friendly gifts, like this sweet bike basket from Bushtukah.
For moms who love to bake, a date in the kitchen (with help from her family sous chefs) will be an experience to treasure. Pick up all the ingredients in advance, and don't forget to take notes on her techniques for making the greatest treats of all time. For the perfect gift, consider a delightful new apron from Kitchenalia.
2. Slowly add water until a workable dough is formed. You are adding the water to work towards a well combined consistency. If the dough becomes too sticky, add a little more flour.
Idea! This recipe makes a little less than three cups. Make more colours and give to your friends.
Send your friends an invisible message or picture using this Magic paint.
1. Mix 1tbsp of water and 1 tbsp of baking soda together.
2. Dip your paintbrush into the mixture and write your message or create your picture on a sheet of paper.
4. To divulge your message, mix together the remaining 1tbsp water and food colouring in a bowl. Using a brush and the coloured mixture, paint over the Magic message. Your message will be revealed.
Use the Magic Messages and make cards for special occasions.
Fill the bottom of a bowl with milk. Spread a few drops of food colouring around the bowl. Be sure it remains on top. Use different colours if you would like. Add a drop of dish detergent and watch the laws of emulsification at work. The dish water breaks down the fat in the milk just like it breaks down the grease on our dishes.
Place vinegar in the in the bottom of your jar/glass or vase add 8-10 drops of food colouring. Put your chosen vessel on a plate to catch the volcano. Add up to two tablespoons of baking soda depending on the vessel you choose to experiment with and watch your volcano erupt.
Choose an old plastic soda bottle. Fill the bottom with a cup of vinegar.
Using a funnel add a tablespoon of baking soda into the balloon. Put the mouth of the balloon over the soda bottle making sure the soda does not spill into the vinegar. When you are ready, put the balloon upwards and let the baking soda fall into the bottle. Enjoy the results.
1. Fill the jar with boiling water.
2. Pour Borax into the jar one spoonful at a time until it no longer dissolves and settles on the bottom of the jar.
4. Use a pipe cleaner and create shapes or forms.
5. Tie one end of the string around the pipe cleaner creation and the other around the pencil.
6. Place the pencil on the jar lid so the pipe cleaner is suspended in the middle of the Borax solution.
7. Let stand overnight. Remove the crystal covered sculpture and let it dry.
Create several crystal sculptures and make a mobile.
A great way to learn how plants grow.
1. Place the wet cotton balls in the zip bag with the seeds placed against them.
2. Seal the zip bag and tape it to a window where it will collect plenty of sunlight. You will see growth from the seeds within 3-5 days!
3. After your sprouts grow at least 1 inch, you can transfer into soil and the plant will continue to grow.
Make several Greenhouses in a bag using different types of seeds. You can compare how different seeds sprout and get ready for your summer garden.
A great way to transform leftover spaghetti into works of art.
1. Pour some glue into a small bowl.
3. Create different designs by arranging the glue covered spaghetti strands on a sheet of wax paper. It is important to make sure that the strands of spaghetti are connected and touching each other.
4. Cover the glue covered spaghetti with glitter.
5. Let your designs completely dry.
6. Carefully peel the wax paper away from the spaghetti art.
Use your spaghetti designs to create a mobile or window decorations.
This creative mosaic could be used to create greeting cards, picture frames and small boxes.
1. Use a pencil and draw a picture on a heavy sheet of paper or cardboard.
2. Use white glue to dill in a small area of the picture.
3. Immediately cover the glue with the beans of your choice. Repeat the process until the entire picture is complete.
Light coloured beans can be stained by painting them. Combine 1 tbsp. of water and 4-6 drops food colouring.
Pour the warm water into the bowl. Gently stir the dishwashing liquid.

RB Adrian Peterson 'serious about playing' should the Seahawks call on him Sunday
Bob Condotta, The Seattle Times on Dec 3, 2021
Published in Football
RENTON, Wash. — The Seahawks on Friday officially listed three running backs as questionable to play due to injury for Sunday's 1:25 p.m. game against the 49ers — Alex Collins, Rashaad Penny and Travis Homer.
What isn't questionable is that veteran Adrian Peterson is ready if needed.
Peterson, signed to Seattle's practice squad on Wednesday, took part in his second practice on Friday and had "a really, really productive week," according to coach Pete Carroll.
Carroll wouldn't fully commit to Peterson playing Sunday, saying, "We'll see how it goes this weekend," but made it clear that he's ready if needed, noting that he played in three games with Tennessee last month, most recently on Nov. 21.
Collins has started the last seven games since Chris Carson was sidelined with a neck injury that requires surgery but is dealing with a nagging abdomen injury.
Homer (calf) and Penny (hamstring) each sat out Monday's game against Washington.
It was those injuries that compelled the Seahawks over the weekend to reach out to Peterson, who was waived by Tennessee on Nov. 23 after gaining 82 yards on 27 carries.
All three practiced Friday — Penny and Homer were full participants and Collins was limited — and Carroll didn't rule out any. But he also wouldn't say who might play.
"They all got work this week, so we've just got to figure out who's OK and who isn't on Sunday," Carroll said.
Seattle also has DeeJay Dallas available.

What is a portable kit?
A portable kit number has been created to make ordering easy. It identifies several main sections of the portable machine unit.
Why are there only three (3) wheels on the IK-12 Max3?
The IK-12 Max 3 is designed to be used with three wheels. By triangulating the contact points an even amount of pressure is distributed between the larger diameter wheels resulting in more stable travel and better traction. The "extra" mount for the idler wheel is used with the IK-12 circle track, but not with the straight track.
How do I convert my IK-12 Max3 oxy fuel portable cutting machine to welding?
If you already are using a "S" Series (S-100, SP-100, etc) torch set, you can remove the oxy fuel torch and insert a MIG torch holder (Part#61000676) and a Bushing (Part#ZM61282) to mount a welding gun. The welding function can be triggered by the torch trigger or a remote pendant from the welding manufacturer. Please contact our Customer Service Department for using other Welding options including interface boxes and Roller Brackets.
Can I put a plasma torch on an IK-12 Beetle?
Contact Customer Service toll-free 800-252-5232, ext. 440 or 585-492-2400, ext. 440.
Can I put a plasma torch on the Picle-1-II?
The Picle-1-II will not do plasma cutting as this unit is manually operated and runs too slow for plasma cutting.
Where can I obtain freight charges?
Please contact our Customer Service Department at 585-492-2400, ext. 440 or call us toll free at 800-252-5232, ext. 440 to obtain freight charges during business hours.

Win A Trip To...Somewhere: BVK's Mystery Tourism Campaign
by Larissa Faw , September 16, 2019
Tree leaves apparently transforming into abundant fall colors are one of the few clues behind an unnamed destination's tourism campaign.
The aptly titled "Destination Unknown" campaign, developed with agency BVK and an unnamed tourism group, is called the first campaign to advertise a region without disclosing the location. The creative features blurry images of fall tree leaves alongside messages like "Don't Miss the Incredible.....In..."
"Conventional tourism marketing can be predictable at times, so we wanted to do something completely different and unexpected for the category and the audience," explains Brian Ganther, executive creative director, BVK. "By building the buzz and intrigue with a mystery destination, we're hoping that people will be curious and follow along with the journey in the media and on social."
Among the few other clues to the destination, the campaign creative is aimed at "adventurous" travelers, who are prompted to visit FallDestinationUnknown.com to gain background information and for a chance to claim a seat on the "Destination Unknown" bus, leaving from Washington, DC on the morning of Oct. 5.
"We're looking for open-minded and spontaneous people who are willing to experience a destination they may not have considered before -- without even knowing what it is," says Ganther.
Obviously, another clue is that the destination is within driving distance of DC. The agency selected that market for its media buy because of its proximity, says Ganther. The messaging will appear in transit ads, radio, targeted digital and social ads as well as local influencer engagement.
"Washington D.C. offers an intellectually curious population, and this campaign definitely taps into that," says Ganther. Plus, entrants must be from the greater DC area, specifically, District of Columbia, Maryland or Virginia, to enter or win a seat on the bus.
The campaign will shift into its second phase after the location is announced Oct. 5, says Gather. "Once the destination is revealed and we've shown what the experience is like, we know people will be inspired to take a trip for themselves."

107-Year-Old Man Killed During Shootout With SWAT Team [Video]
Dan Evon
A 107-year-old man was killed this weekend during a shootout with SWAT officers.
CNN reports that officers were called to a home in Pine Bluff, Arkansas to investigate a report of aggravated assault. When officers arrived they found two victims at the home who told them that 107-year-old Monroe Isadore was hiding in the bedroom.
Lt. David E. Price said: "When they arrived, they were able to determine that an aggravated assault had occurred against two people at the residence."
Officers approached the bedroom and identified themselves to the suspect. According to Lt. David E. Price, Isadore then fired his weapon through the bedroom door.
No officers were hurt in the incident.
Police waited outside of the bedroom and tried to negotiate with the suspect. When negotiations proved unsuccessful the SWAT team was called to the home in Arkansas.
The SWAT officers were able to get a camera inside the room to confirm that Isadore had a weapon. They then used gas to force the man to leave the room. But instead of leaving, Isadore started shooting at the SWAT officers.
The officers returned fire and the 107-year-old man was shot and killed.
Here's a video about the incident in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
CNN notes that reaching the age of 100 in the United States is a relatively rare feat. In 2010, only 53,000 people were living beyond the age of 100. Only 8% of that number were above the age of 104.

Favored #6 Crossingthevalley (8-5) drops a level off a pair of middling performances against better; when last seen against nickel runners, she won easily and she should have a chance to work out a good trip from the outside stall… #5 Shak's Hidden Gem (2-1) ran a pretty good race last out against similar going a mile, and the only question is whether the cutback to 5 1/2 furlongs may leave her some work to do late… #1 R True Sensation (8-1) opened a long lead, completely stopped, and was never asked for any run after five-eighths of a mile last time out; she can improve today…
Unless one or more of the first-time starters in this maiden claimer can run a little, this is a bad group of horses… We'll include the two firsters trained by Phil Schoenthal in our mix; #7 Determined Pursuit (5-2) and #1 Inspired Options (4-1) both cost more than the $10,000 tag they're offered for here — generally a bad sign — and appear to have been working together in the mornings; the former has a sibling that won at first asking, but the latter looks to have been getting the better of the morning breezes… #6 Bourbon Agogo (9-2) ran a stinker last time, but his debut one level up was acceptable, and if he can return to that, he contends with these…
It's possible that #1 Lucky Trinity (9-5) is too good for these, but our concern here is that she may have a lot to do late in a race without a ton of pace in it… #3 Combat Queen (3-1) won nicely last out at Laurel and may be the major speed player in this group; trainer Trombetta will leg up go-to rider Pimentel (5-for-15 in limited action thus far this meet)… We want to have #4 Girl Next Door (6-1) in the mix here; this miss makes her first start since July and for trainer Cal Lynch's son Anthony; she was pretty green in her debut, but when she got clear late, she was absolutely flying at the end and indicated she might have lots more upside…
This is another race where what a horse doesn't have makes her the choice; #6 Aciano (3-1) has made all 13 of her career starts on turf and synthetic and will try dirt for the first time here, which is also her first start since May; she's been working reasonably well for trainer Lacey Gaudet, her sire was a Grade 1 winner on the main track, and in a race in which the rest of the group is pretty lukewarm, if she takes to the main track, she ought to win here… #7 Ortinla (4-1) ran just OK last out when a distant third at the level but should appreciate getting back on a fast track… #1 Bearing Secrets (7-2) closed a little bit of ground late last time out at Parx and may enjoy the change of scenery… This is a race that could go a lot of ways, though; all of these runners look pretty similar, so spread out in your multi-race wagers…
There's some speed outside in this race, and some horses light on speed inside, which may create a perfect trip for the tactical favorite, #1 Chasing the Candy (9-5), who should have no problem getting ahead of the three horses immediately to his outside and then be able to sit off the likely speed of the speed, #6 Thunder Grunder (5-1); last time out he was chasing the even-money favorite who went on to win, and two back, he finished fourth behind a next-out allowance winner… #5 Lectric Choke (3-1) has run pretty good races his last two, but he's had pretty ideal trips and been unable to seal the deal in both…
Pretty good group of maiden claimers on offer here, including two dropping in class after decent efforts, but we're going to take a swing with a first-timer: #4 Johnny Jiggle (5-1) is a son of Shakin It Up out of a two-time winning mare by Include; he's been training well enough, including a bullet half-mile move January 11, at Parx Racing, for trainer Jamie Ness, who wins 21% of the time with first-time starters in maiden claiming company — and is 6-for-16 making that move with horses owned by his own Jagger Inc… #8 Paradise Pride (7-2), third against $40,000 maidens last time, and #2 Day of Honor (9-2), a credible fifth in maiden special weight company on debut, both are dropping from better levels… #6 Supercross (8-1) has been training forwardly for Mary Eppler, who's 6-for-31 with debut maiden claimers…
Top choice #2 Sexyama (7-2) drew away to win last time after a wide journey and wheels back on 10 days' rest for trainer Jerry Robb (9-for-29 at the meet and at 1,999 wins for his career); this one doesn't have a ton of speed, but may have more of it than this rivals… #5 Jumping Michelle (5-2) figures to have work to do late and has finished second in five of eight tries at the trip…
No need to overthink this one: when trainer Linda Rice sends a horse down on the drop in price, she's looking to win a race and lose a horse via the claimbox, and she ought to accomplish at least the first of those with #2 Eight Oaks (7-5); this 5-year-old mare is dropping from the $16,000 level at AQU, and Rice wins 34% of the time when dropping horses in half or more, including 4-of-8 when doing so at Laurel… #3 Chicken Dinner (3-1) keeps churning out pretty good races and figures the main beneficiary if the favorite doesn't fire…

BEST BEAT TAPES The Best Beat Tapes on Bandcamp: February 2018 By Max Bell · March 16, 2018
There's an astounding number of beat tapes available on Bandcamp, each one vastly different from the next. No matter the project, one thing is clear: there's a thriving community of like-minded artists and listeners on this site, an insatiable crowd of people moved by the rhythms of beat-centric compilations.
Of course, sorting through the deluge of tapes can seem like a near-Sisyphean endeavor. This column, the aptly titled "Best Beat Tapes on Bandcamp," is an attempt to assuage those anxieties and highlight the best releases from each month.
To that end, the definition of "beat tape" is especially broad. Releases comprised of disparate albeit exemplary beats receive the same attention as those releases that hew closer to a cohesive album. Additionally, this column does not privilege one style or sound over another. Beats comprised of drum breaks and samples from dust-kissed vinyl sit next to those that incorporate elements from electronic music and everywhere else. Without further adieu, here's the first roundup of Bandcamp's essential beat tapes. Scroll, listen, read, and nod your head.
Shrimpnose
Sullen [Dome of Doom]
Sullen shrimpnose .
The first 2018 release from burgeoning Los Angeles label Dome of Doom comes from Minneapolis-based producer Shrimpnose. While last year's Not Really seemed best-suited to big speakers (e.g., "Musty"), Sullen is a quieter, more introspective affair. Shrimpnose says he attempted to capture the "fluid ebb and flow of life" with this release. So, while the titularly implied gloominess is present (see "Peach"), most of the beats are preoccupied with the emotional peaks and valleys to which we ascend and fall into at a moment's notice. As such, there's a pervasive bittersweetness here, as though Shrimpnose has found the taut throughline between elation and dejection. Fittingly, "Haunted" and "Felt" sit at opposite ends of that line. The former is a swirling, melancholic suite punctuated by ominous low-end. The latter is the brightest song on the album, a shimmering arrangement of keys and crashing hi-hats that indicates Shrimpnose may harbor more hope than he sometimes lets on.
Bad Timing [Beat Cinema]
Beat Cinema
Bad Timing Beat Cinema .
If you visit L.A., you will be remiss if you don't attend Beat Cinema, the weekly club night that transforms an ordinary karaoke bar in the downtown district of Little Tokyo into a temple for forward-thinking production, DJing, and digital instrumentation. In addition to throwing the weekly, Beat Cinema drops several records each year. Low Key's Bad Timing is one of the label's best releases to date. The 17-year-old nephew of L.A. beat scene stalwart Dibia$e, Low Key nods to his lineage throughout the EP, even employing Dibia$e's well-known "Green Llama" vocal samples. (Those samples, repurposed as a rallying cry for Dibia$e's Green Llama collective, actually come from an old radio show based on a comic about a crime-fighting Buddhist named Green Lama.) Still, Bad Timing isn't an exercise in imitation. Rather, Low Key takes the template, expands on it, and adds singular permutations. On tracks like "Luv Never Leaves" and "No Pulp," he chops soulful samples and deploys pounding drum patterns with a swing and assurance that belies his age. After earning third place at Beat Cinema's annual Beat Battle—this writer thinks he should've won—Low Key looks poised to continue his ascent through L.A.'s storied ranks.
Emapea
Zoning Out Volume 1 [Cold Busted]
Zoning Out Volume 1 Emapea .
Vinyl LP, Cassette, Compact Disc (CD), Other
An MPC-devotee who undoubtedly holds PeteStrumentals as holy writ, Emapea seems incapable of making a beat that doesn't inspire meditative head nodding. Following 2016's fan-approved Seeds, Roots & Fruits, Zoning Out Volume 1 is another collection of warm, smooth, and often jazz-inflected samples backed by crisp kicks and snares (start with "Daydreaming" or "Downtown"). In short, this is markedly reverent instrumental hip-hop that stands out for fully realizing its aims. Moreover, Emapea has so meticulously sequenced the tracks that you occasionally forget where one ends and another begins. Some might call this music "safe," but I call it necessary. Familiar music that affords you joy and relaxation is vital to your sanity. Zoning Out is a record for when you're lounging inside on rainy days, walking through the city while stoned out of your gourd, or trying to make your commute seem less maddening. There's nothing wrong with that. Zoning Out Volume 2 is ostensibly on the way. I'll listen to as many volumes as Emapea wants to drop.
GOD.DAMN.CHAN
Slush [Alpha Pup]
Slush GOD.DAMN.CHAN .
GOD.DAMN.CHAN has done his homework. Though only moving to L.A. in 2017, the Maine transplant has clearly studied the music echoing from Low End Theory for years. As such, Slush is the rare record that subsumes its influences and projects originality. "Slush" and "To My Friends" represent two different strains of beat music. The former is punishing, face-frying trap evoking the same awe as TNGHT's self-titled EP. After pulling you in with seemingly innocuous snares, CHAN drops teeth-rattling low-end and a barrage of clattering, glitchy bells. "To My Friends," on the other hand, embodies some of the same funk you might hear on a track from Penthouse Penthouse (see their new album Cruise Control). Here and everywhere else on this album, whether playing oozing basslines ("melt") or deploying sliding, off-kilter percussion, CHAN has established himself as an impressive new voice in the beat scene.
DJ Manipulator
The Synth Tape [Backcourt Records]
The Synth Tape DJ Manipulator .
As counterintuitive as it sounds, complete creative freedom can be stifling. And restrictions, even the smallest ones, can be liberating. It makes sense, then, that DJ Manipulator chose to build a project around one instrument: the synth. The Boston-based producer incorporates the sounds of the electronic instrument on every track on his aptly titled The Synth Tape. With this limitation, DJ Manipulator crafts as many sonic permutations as he's able. Over crisp, concussive drums, he gives you everything from the slinking, sun-drenched notes that make G-funk shine ("Circuit Breaker") to reverberating chords, the sound of a rocket hurtling through the cosmos ("Space"). Throughout, DJ Manipulator splices in vocals of musicians discussing the synth's limitless capabilities. It's no wonder that he was able to evade redundancy for 16 tracks.
EYTREG
One's Hidden Agony [URBNET]
One's Hidden Agony EYTREG .
Tokyo's EYTREG (8-reg) is clearly a devoted soul and R&B scholar. On One's Hidden Agony, he effortlessly incorporates the vocals of one heartsick ballad after another into his bouncing yet tender beats. On "eex," for example, he samples both Toni Braxton and Bryson Tiller, chopping the vocals of the latter until they practically become percussive. Elsewhere, EYTREG pulls from genres as disparate as samba (see "aprilfll," which flips a well-known Pharcyde sample) and rap ("tha drgn"). While EYTREG's beats are firmly rooted in hip-hop, the poignant closing track "ralfca" affirms that his greatest strength lies in compressing as much emotion as possible into a few infectious bars.

SPECIAL CALL: The U.S. Science Support Program is issuing a special call for a terrestrial/non-marine diatom specialist, preferably one who also has experience in transitional environments (the Gulf of Corinth is periodically connected/disconnected from the Mediterranean Sea) to apply for Expedition 381 Corinth Active Rift Development MSP. The call is for scientists to participate during the onshore science party only starting in Bremen, Germany, on 31 January 2018 for up to 4 weeks. The deadline to apply for this special call is December 8, 2017 at 11:59 PM EST.
The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) is now accepting applications for scientific participants on Expedition 381 Corinth Active Rift Development aboard a Mission Specific Platform (MSP) provided by the ECORD Science Operator.
Continental rifting is fundamental for the formation of ocean basins and hydrocarbon-bearing rifted margins, and active rift zones are dynamic regions of high geohazard potential. But much of what we know from the fault to plate scale is poorly constrained and is not resolved at any level of spatial or temporal detail over a complete rift system. This expedition will drill within the active Corinth Rift, Greece, where deformation rates are high, the syn-rift succession is preserved and accessible, and a dense, seismic database provides a high resolution fault network and seismic stratigraphy for the recent rift history but with limited chronology. In the Gulf of Corinth, the expedition can achieve an unprecedented precision of timing and spatial complexity of rift-fault system development and rift-controlled drainage system evolution in the first 1-2 Myr of rift history.
The expedition aims to resolve at a high temporal and spatial resolution how faults evolve, how strain is (re-)distributed, and how the landscape responds within the first few Myrs in a non-volcanic continental rift, as modulated by Quaternary changes in sea level and climate. High horizontal spatial resolution (~1-3 km) is provided by a dense grid of seismic profiles offshore that have been recently fully integrated, complemented by extensive outcrops and fault analysis onshore. High temporal resolution (~20-50ka) will be provided by seismic stratigraphy tied to core and log data from three carefully located boreholes to sample the recent syn-rift sequence.
Two primary themes will be addressed by the drilling integrated with the seismic database and onshore data. First, fault and rift evolutionary history (including fault growth, strain localization and rift propagation) and deformation rates: the spatial scales and relative timing can already be determined within the seismic data offshore. Dating of drill core will provide the absolute timing offshore, the temporal correlation to the onshore and the ability to quantify strain rates from individual faults to the whole rift scale. Second, the response of drainage evolution and sediment supply to rift and fault evolution: core data will define lithologies, depositional systems and paleoenvironment, including catchment paleo-climate, basin paleobathymetry, and relative sea level. Integrated with seismic data, onshore stratigraphy and catchment data, we will investigate the relative roles and feedbacks between tectonics, climate and eustasy in sediment flux and basin evolution. A multidisciplinary approach to core sampling integrated with log and seismic data will generate a Quaternary chronology for the syn-rift stratigraphy down to orbital timescale resolutions and resolve the paleoenvironmental history of the basin in order to address the objectives.
The expedition aims to drill, core, and log up to 750m-deep boreholes at three sites in the central and eastern Gulf of Corinth. The procurement process to contract platform and drilling services is currently being undertaken by ESO, and it is envisaged that the setup will involve a geotechnical vessel equipped with a coring rig, and outfitted with ESO's laboratory containers.
The offshore phase of Expedition 381 is provisionally scheduled for a maximum of 60 days during October and November 2017, with only a subset of the Science Party participating. Offshore activities will focus on core recovery, curation, sampling for ephemeral properties, biostratigraphy, physical properties, preliminary lithostratigraphy (whole core observed at core ends and through plastic liners), and downhole logging. The cores will not be split at sea. Subsequently, an Onshore Science Party (OSP) will be held at the MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, University of Bremen, Germany, in February 2018 (exact dates to be confirmed), where the cores will be split. The OSP will be a maximum of 4 weeks long, the exact length dependent on core recovery. All members of the Science Party must attend the Onshore Science Party.
This is a special call for a terrestrial/non-marine diatom specialist. U.S.-affiliated scientists interested in participating in this expedition should apply to sail through the U.S. Science Support Program. The deadline for this special call is December 8, 2017.

Brief scores: Guyana Amazon Warriors 130/5 in 20 overs (Jason Mohammed 66; Sunil Narine 1-11) lost to Trinbago Knight Riders 131/3 in 15.5 overs (Brendon McCullum 65*) by seven wickets.
Both teams lost there previous matches….
Mohammad kept the innings alive and took his side to a contestable total before falling off the final ball of the innings to Bravo for 66 off 58 balls. Of the six bowlers that Trinbago used, 5 of them returned with a wicket apiece, minus Robert Frylinck.
and began becoming a footnote around the time his opening bowler Akeal Hosein began the chase by bowling 5 wides in a row.
in favour of his team by 17 runs, he could even get to the party with energy to spare.
