I went to the Tao Genky Art Festival!
A new art festival starts from the sea of Goroura.
During the period from March 14 (Wednesday) to March 18 (Sun) in 2018, Togen Art Arts Festival 2018 – Prism of the sea and artists of the unexplored land – were held in various parts of Kitaibaraki city ! The whole city where the exhibitions of Japanese paintings, potteries, images, stereoscopic works by local artists and young newcomer artists on the theme of the sea are theatrical art festivals!
We invited you to this art festival as an exhibition artist and gave me a very valuable experience. It was also a great honor and thankfulness to be able to submit the work at this Goroi sea, which can also be said to be familiar to Okakura Tenshin from the Ronin era.
I came! 3 hours from Ueno at Otsuko station, Joban line each stop! Surprisingly close!
Hexagodo is in Tenzin 's house. Among them are exhibits, and the history of Tenshin and his disciples are displayed.
Tenshin-yaki using books related to Tenshin and the soil of Kitaibaraki is also displayed.
Yokoyama Taiki, Hishida Harunusa, Kimura Takeshi, Shimomura Miyama built a study. The location of the movie "Tenshin" was also held here.
A monument of Tenshin is installed around the museum as a plate. This time I had my local junior high school students write this song at the workshop!
There are places in places where such a monument wanted the sea.
Nondefective products are exhibited on the glass of the glass workshop. It is a series of admiration for transcendental skill.
There was a dog in Shimonji Temple.
I saw the image of the Miku festival! It's spectacular!
Like · You can learn the memories of the earthquake disaster, the fish captured locally, its fishing methods and so on.
On the 2nd floor you will find all the anko corners, anko! What?
Those of the people concerned stayed at their parents' house who forgot taking an inn. Hospitality is appreciated. . .
Kitaibaraki City Hall, We invited participation of the workshop here!
The real pleasure in staying production is interacting with local people! And then, lots of local delicious lunch laugh! Sumi, thank you!
Pick up from the local artists Mr. and Mrs. Ishiwata. I'm crying!
Fukujusugi, my favorite crew of the production place, I took it in my work.
Everyone, I was focused on being tackled!
I also went to play during the period of Tao Genkyo Art Festival!
ARIGATEE of the accommodation has changed completely, was reborn as super fashionable art space! ! !
The inside coexisted with the works of the Ishiwata and the props of the old private house.
We also went to Tenshin residence and the museum. It was a sunny day on this day, it was a day of art excitement!
I am glad to meet you, a family member who participated in the workshop!
Impression after finishing staying work that was attached next to the work.
Kitaibaraki may be a peach home for artists. A wide atelier that can draw paintings of 4 meters square, delicious hand-crafted products that behave like a lance! Renovated 150-year-old historic old private houses can also be used as accommodation. Support for the extraordinary support of people from the regional cooperation party and city officials was very encouraging. This time, I stayed a little in Kitaibaraki including a preliminary survey for a week. Goro Okakura Tensetsu has escaped in a political struggle. I also had a time when I was dreaming and lost my hometown. From sympathy or Tenshin 's writings I read a lot in the Ronin era, and I also studied English with a tea book.
When the story of this Tao Genkyo Arts Festival came, the strong pride that the Okakura Tenshin snuggled closer to himself came up with buddies. I wanted to make an Iimono with people in the area of Kitaibaraki together with volunteers, volunteered to volunteer for this project. Before making a residency, review the movie "Tenshin" again and prepare for themselves, as well as Hokkaido and Gyoura Art Museum, Glass Studio Silica, Renji Temple, Hanazono Shrine, and so · · · such as the real sights of Kitaibaru I asked for the inspiration of creation around. This theme is the sea. Here is the sea that Tenshin kept staring at in Hexagon temple. While staring at the ocean, I got inspiration from the treasure ship there. I strongly wanted to leave treasure in this Kitaibaraki as a "rare person". It was the moment when the idea came up, a collaboration between the paintings by "Rare people" and the words of "People's People" at Kitaibaraki.
I will show the uniqueness of Japanese culture in this place deeply related to Tenshin. Coexistence of picture and words. The DNA is inherited in onomatopoe of manga. Recently I would like to think about reconstruction of literature such as a long-lost tanka and haiku. For the treasure ship, we used the cooperation of Kuniyoshi, Kunisada, and Izumi as a homage as "Main Temp Collection". Japanese song culture reaches old age of Manyo. I want to revive it to the present age and want to capture it as "Billion" leaf collection. This work is a cooperative song created by me and everyone in Kitaibaraki.
A lot of people participated in the workshop from children to the elderly. Every seriously written letter is spectacular. From large letters to small letters, none of them was full of personality and the picture became a sea of fertility. Everyone who participated, thank you so much! At a later date, I got a polite email from the participants. "Thank you for drawing my haiku in the blanks of barrier paintings and ink paintings, it will be a treasure of my life." "Lifetime treasure", I was glad that I was truly invited to this art festival think. This is the artist's interest. I was supported by the participants and the staff, taught, I got various "lifelong treasure". As many people will get impressed as much as possible, that is a wonderful thing. From this work, this is Kitaibaraki! I want you to feel the overwhelming momentum. I am glad if it can be used sustainably as a hint to a new "magnetic field" industry by reaffirming the attractive climate and spirituality of Kitaibaraki by seeing this work. Finally at the end of the workshop I finally settled in Kitakibaraku from my stomach with an uncovered pot.
The mountain bike borrowed at ARIGATEE at the accommodation was written as East Japan great earthquake disaster reconstruction assistance bicycle. On days when such a thing was written, nature and feelings also become bigger, becoming a feeling of the artists of the world. I would like to lead the local creation with the power of art. It is not just a one-time art event, but the power of art rooted as the regional industry should be the driving force for real regional creation. At that time, the power of art opens the rock degree of the sky. Japan revival is not a desk idealism, it starts with rice balls, hamburger steaks made by people who love cultural arts, and Takuan. I do not think Kitaibaraki protects the shape of the center of gravity, but I want you to protect the spirit of Tenshin. I would appreciate if this work can be cheering for that spirit, while it is fine.
I hopefully hopefully I will be able to visit this peach home again.
Fortunately of the sea, Yamamoto Fuyu, Oh, my love smile and lively people.
Like peach flower origin, beautiful Taoyuan, do not you disappear.
After that, I went to Silver, Hanazono Shrine and greeted God of Kitaibaraki. Also souvenirs are equipped with patches and arrive on the way back home.
I also tried the glass workshop! I did not get the opportunity to touch the glass at the university for 8 years.
Deep-fried thickfish is a specialty here! ! ! Do not buy Oh no! ! ! Super good! !
Close to the library near Isohara station.
Newly, I concentrated on books and had an easy-to-read atmosphere.
Works of Professor Jiro Hiruda. Attachment gushes and it is Kitaibaraki. I will invoke the melancholy.
The sun will set in Kitaibaraku today as well.
I reached Ueno. It was launched by a Chinese restaurant called Nisshouen.


AKAI will show off their new Rhythm Wolf analog drum and Bass synth at the Frankfurter MusikMesse 2014.
Rhythm Wolf is an analog instrument that combines the sounds of early electronic and hip-hop music with the wel known Akai workflow. Rhythm Wolf is inspired by classic analog beat machines and synthesizers. The drum machine consists of five highly-tweakable drum sounds and includes a kick, snare, open & closed hi-hat, and metallic percussion. Different controls allow users to change the tuning, amplitude envelopes, and volume of each drum voice separately for precise real-time adjustment. The bass synthesizer features a selectable sawtooth or square wave oscillator, a classic filter design, and a filter envelope with variable decay.
Rhythm Wolf has six MPC pads and a built-in 32-step sequencer, it provides a responsive interface with classic drum machine layout. Drum patterns can be fine-tuned using the Swing function, Pattern Select, and Tempo Select knobs. A custom distortion signal path is activated by the 'howl' knob. This adds grit and character to your sound. The hardware features USB-MIDI, MIDI In/Out, a gate trigger, and it integrates seamlessly with modern and vintage equipment.
• Synth-bass module—selectable square or sawtooth wave with classic filter design for warm, deep basses and squelchy leads.
The rumor has it that Rhythm Wolf will cost a meagre US $200, but we couldn't get this confirmed yet. More information on the Rhythm Wolf synthesizer can be found on AKAI Pro's website.

Part 3 A Gorge-ous site for dates thanks to a very old river
Before Victoria Falls formed, the Zambezi River was very much like we see it today above the falls – wide and shallow. But the old Zambezi was not where the Zambezi flows today. It has left remnants of its former presence 12-15m above the modern river in the National Park, and the gravels it left there also contain artefacts. If they can be dated then we will have a maximum age for the cutting of the falls (why the falls formed is a contentious issue among geographers).
Zambia has none of the volcanic debris that facilitates dating of the archaeologically famous sites in East Africa such as Olduvai Gorge, so the potential to date the exposure of gravel to sunlight using optically stimulated luminescence (see last post for idiot's guide to OSL) is a real bonus to the project. The technique has been invaluable in places like Zambia where there are few other reliable options.
We dug a small pit for Geoff and even though the gravels were shallow (30cm) he was willing to try his magic on these.
One of the many handaxes among other Early Stone Age artefacts in the gravels of the old Zambezi (with Ken and Maggie)
The scouts who accompanied us could not believe the story of a once higher Zambezi. Wry smiles and shaking heads accompanied our explanations.
There are also gravels left high and dry downstream of the modern falls on a series of flat top platforms that mark the position of previous falls. They form a six mile long zig-zag leading to the present falls. The contrast couldn't be greater between the tranquil Zambezi above the falls and roiling torrent below. The earliest and furthest from the falls is at the confluence with the Songwe River where there is a spectacular gorge.

It's a beauty spot, but also a National Monument for its abundant Stone Age remains. The gravels contain raw materials, such as glass-like chalcedony, that are perfect for making stone tools. It's a rare resource in an otherwise barren landscape for tool-makers.
Beautiful chalcedony flake, Middle Stone Age, from the surface of the Songwe gravels and showing some of the natural varnish that forms on artefacts and cobbles along the Zambezi
We took Geoff there because of the gravels and a patch of sand that might be sitting on the gravels. Early in the season we had visited Songwe and found pits in the sand-cover where it was being collected as building material. A quick scrape with a trowel in these pits revealed Middle Stone Age (MSA) artefacts. Not the big stuff we found at Maramba, or on the sand scarp, but still part of the record of humans in this landscape and worth dating.
We spent an hour or so tracing the Songwe gravels and noting how thin the spread is and wondering how it might be dated using OSL. Bedrock was just beneath the surface – no chance here for Geoff's technique.
Geoff standing on the surface of the Songwe gravels and looking up the Songwe Gorge
Next season we'll have Andy Hein (University of Edinburgh) with us who specialises in dating how long surfaces have been exposed to the sun, just the opposite of Geoff's magic. We gave up on the gravels and returned to the sand pit and its known MSA. After clearing the surface of the pit floor a 1m square was laid out and excavation began. It wasn't long before very sharp flakes started appearing, some smaller than the nail of your little toe – a sign we were in a relatively undisturbed deposit where even the smallest manufacturing debris remained. That's rare and this place is on the growing 'to do' list for next year.
A very sharp little toe-nail size chalcedony flake from the MSA sand overlying the gravels. Pieces this small hint that evidence for artefact manufacturing will probably be well preserved
The Songwe gravels at the base of the pit. We managed to excavate about 15 cm before the light faded. How deep do they go? We'll find out next year
Another time, this might be productive
But there was another surprise in store – the gravels of the Zambezi. They formed the bottom of our square and there was no doubting these were river gravels given the rounding of the stones. There were also artefacts in the gravels, probably Early Stone Age based on size, also rolled from river action. Whatever they turn out to be in terms of archaeological labels, they are very different from the fresh material on top. Out came the thick black plastic and Geoff was buried again. He collected samples from the overlying sands and two cobbles from the gravels.

We were rapidly running out of daylight and still there was gravel to be excavated. It will have to wait until next year. And maybe a year from now we'll have some OSL dates to share with you.
And so, field work all but at an end, what more is there to say?
Well, just few practical matters still to sort out …
One thought on "Part 3 A Gorge-ous site for dates thanks to a very old river"
John Kemp says:
Will you be posting results of work on samples? Next year's field season is an awful long time away. Has your work at Kalambo Falls been published? Any advance on Bangweulu? That's fascinating.

Kenneth Lin, the CEO of Credit Karma recently e-mailed me about their site, which offers free credit-score tracking. Credit Karma has actually been around for awhile, but I had never bothered signing up until Kenneth contacted me. I figured that it's free, so what's the harm in trying?
Setting up an account was dead easy, but you should be aware that they'll ask for some fairly sensitive information, including your social security number (SSN). This should come as no surprise, as they need this info to access your credit records, but I just wanted to forewarn you. The good news is that they never ask for a credit card number, so there's nothing to cancel. Ever.
Once I had confirmed my e-mail address, I was in. The actual "product" that Credit Karma delivers is pretty simple. It's a three digit number designed to reflect your credit score (see below).
As I understand it, this isn't a "real" FICO score, but it is based on real information from your TransUnion credit report. They also recently changed their algorithm to make their scores more comparable to FICO scores. For the sake of comparison, I recently checked my FICO credit score via Equifax and learned that it's 798.
Two real strengths of Credit Karma are that they offer a plethora of statistics that let you know where you stand in a relative sense (see below), and they allow you to track your score over time such that you can see trends, and perhaps spot anomalies that might be signal negative information on your credit report. Oh, and one more thing… They're free.
There's not much to say here. The biggest downside of this service is that, as I mentioned above, they're not providing you with a "real" FICO score, but rather a reasonable facsimile of one, but… As I also noted above, this is still a very useful tool for tracking trends and figuring out where you stand relative to others.
The other point is that the site is fairly ad-intensive. That's understandable, however, as they're offering this service for free, and they need to make a buck somehow. The good news here is that the ads don't reduce the usability of the site. Indeed, it's still very easy to find everything that you need.
If you'd rather get your real credit score, and you don't mind having to call back to cancel before you get charged, then you should check out TrueCredit or MyFICO. Both offer 30-day free trials that give you access to your credit reports and your credit score. See also my earlier article on how to get your credit report for free.
But, if you don't want any headaches, Credit Karma is definitely worth a look.
On the whole it's a decent service. I'm using it to track my parent's credit scores during their personal health-related credit crisis. It was definitely more useful than some of the credit-score "calculators" I had used such as at Bankrate.com. I was disappointed that it didn't have more personalized advice (at least at this time). I wish their credit "simulator" had some more options (and was more AJAXy, so the whole page didn't redraw). Perhaps if the simulator worked in reverse, like a "what's the single best thing I can do to improve my credit?" button. I also wish that the offers could be broken out to just e.g. credit cards, instead of "Financial" which apparently includes Quicken Online.
I will say that the score my dad got was not high enough to get offers for anything other than "starter" cards, so my view of the offers may be skewed by that.
I just went for mine, and it was a couple points lower than what it was a few weeks back. Definitely a good free tool to use.
This is fantastic. Although I think that one can spend too much time obsessing over credit scores – if you pay your bills and handle your money well, your score should be just fine. However, it is great to have a free resource to keep an eye on things.
I am going to be doing some serious credit score building starting this January with the new year. I'm glad that I ran across this, because I think that the analysis is a really good tool to have, in lue of just having your score.
Thanks for showing the difference between your CK score and your real score. When I got mine from them a couple of weeks ago, I thought it was 20-40 points below where it should be. So seeing the 20pt variation in yours (which, curiously, is within 1 point of mine) along with the explanation was very helpful.
What a great tool! I love the graphical data. Anything that will track my credit vs other's credits, etc… is a lot of fun! I think I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the post.

Councillor Hyland, Leader of the Council, moved reception of the report, thanking the external auditors, Grant Thornton and Mr Dosset and his team for their report and comments. The Leader stated that it was re-assuring that the independent audit had noted the Council's continued sound financial governance. Councillor Hyland thanked the Director of Finance and her Team for their excellent work in producing the accounts on time, particularly in light of the Council's recent workforce transformation programme.
Councillor Hyland was pleased to note that the Council was one of the few authorities in the Country already working to the Government's new target for the production of draft accounts by 31st May each year, due to be in place by 2018.

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Remove jewelry before bathing, swimming, washing hands, putting on make-up, lotions, perfumes, and/or working with household chemicals, cleaners, or acidic liquids.
Do not clean plated jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner or in silver cleaning solutions, as it could completely remove the plating finish from your item.
Ensure your jewelry item is thoroughly dry before storing. Moisture in an enclosed space can increase tarnishing.
Store your plated jewelry in a jewelry box lined with felt or anti-tarnish material. Items should not be stacked as this may cause damage to the plating surface.
Do not use excessive pressure when cleaning with a polishing cloth or soft brush, as this may cause damage to the plating.
Over time your plated items will need to be re-plated. Contact your local jeweler for information on plating services.
Jade reigns as the universal symbol for good luck and has been treasured in China as the royal gemstone for 5,000 years. The Chinese character for jade resembles a capital "I" with a line across the middle. The top of the character represents the heavens, the bottom the Earth and the center section humankind. It has been considered a symbol of love, virtue and status for thousands of years and remains popular today. Jade is traditionally given as a 12th anniversary gift and is believed to strengthen the body and bring longevity to life.
Jade is the term applied to forms of both jadeite and nephrite. The ancient jade carved in China was what we today call nephrite. In the nineteenth century, it was discovered that the material from the new world was not the same mineral as the jade from China. This new and different jade from Central America was called jadeite to distinguish it from the original nephrite. Both are similar in appearance, yet jadeite is considered the true jade and commands higher prices. Though both are quite durable and tough, ranking 6.5-7.0 on Mohs Scale, jadeite is slightly harder than nephrite due to its microcrystalline structure.
Jadeite has a much more vivid green color with finer translucency than nephrite. It is most treasured for its vivid greens, but it also comes in lavender, pink, yellow and white. Nephrite, however, is found in less intense spinach green, white, brown and black colors. While overall color is the most important factor in considering the value of jade, other important criteria are translucency, texture and pattern. Jade is most often sold by the piece rather than per carat. Because of its smooth and even texture, it has long been a preferred material for carving. When placed in jewelry, it is usually cut into smooth dome shapes called cabochons.
Jadeite is primarily mined in Myanmar. Each year, the state-owned Myanmar Gems Enterprise holds the Myanmar Gems, Jade and Pearl Emporium where boulders are sold to top jade dealers from around the world. The dealers take some high-risk gambles with the jade boulders they purchase. Boulders are sold intact, with only a tiny window cut in the side to expose a small section of the interior. The buyer has no idea what lies inside, whether there is valuable green jadeite or only white or brown-stained inexpensive material. Relying on instinct, buyers pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for what may turn out to be exquisite gemstones or huge losses.
The most valuable form of jadeite is known as imperial jade. It is a vivid emerald green color and comes from Myanmar. The Emerald Buddha, a sacred image that is enshrined at Wat Phra Kaeo in Bangkok, Thailand, is actually beautiful green jadeite. A leek green variety called "Russian Jade" is found near Lake Baikal in Russia. In addition to Myanmar, small quantities of jadeite can be found in Mexico and Central and South America, while nephrite is mined in Australia, Canada, Taiwan and the United States.
In ancient China, Jade was thought to preserve the body after death and was placed in emperors' tombs. One tomb contained an entire suit made of jade, thought to assure the physical immortality of its owner. In Central America, the Olmecs, Mayans and Toltecs also treasured jade and used it for carvings and masks. In Europe, although prehistoric axes and blades carved from jade have been found by archeologists, the gemstone was not popular for jewelry use until the sixteenth century when jade objects were imported from China and, later, Central America. The Portuguese brought home jade pieces from their settlement in China and called jade "piedre de ilharga," which meant "stone of the loins" because they believed it to be strong medicine for kidney ailments. Jade objects brought to Spain were called by the Spanish version of this phrase, "piedra de hijada." This became the French word "ejade," which led to the English word jade.
Known for over 7,000 years, jade was first valued for its hardness, which made it a useful stone for constructing tools and weapons. In ancient Egypt, jade was appreciated as the stone of balance, inner peace and great affection. In China, jade plays a significant role symbolizing goodness, wisdom, courage, justice, modesty and compassion. The Chinese use the gemstone for creating praiseworthy objects, religious figures and esteemed furnishings for the imperial family. Today the gemstone has gained popularity across the world, admired for its symbolism, historical significance and beauty.
Palladium:
A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.

Producer Jack Quick knows how to frame a story. So says Curtis Wade, the subject of Jack's new true crime docuseries, convicted of a young woman's murder four years prior. In the eyes of Jack's viewers, flimsy evidence and police bias influenced the final verdict…even though, off screen, Jack himself has his doubts.
But when the series finale is wildly successful, a retrial sees Curtis walk free. And then another victim turns up dead.
To set things right, Jack goes back to the sleepy vineyard town where it all began, bent on discovering what really happened. Because behind the many stories he tells, the truth is Jack's last chance. He may have sprung a killer from jail, but he's also the one that can send him back.

Opduvel on Live at Ftarri
"Not long after the release of the fascinating Live in Beppu, the new English free sound artists Sam Andreae (saxophone), David Birchall (guitar) and Otto Willberg (bass) will release a new edition, this time at the London Raw Tonk label. This time the musicians from Manchester are joined by the Japanese Toshimaru Nakamura. His instrument is the no input mixing board, an electronic instrument that produces sound without any outside audio input.
The no input mixing board is an unpredictable instrument and that requires the mixer. According to Nakamura, an attitude of obedience and resignation is necessary in relation to the system and the sounds it produces. The instrument ensures a high degree of indeterminacy and surprise in music. It is therefore not surprising that the three English gentlemen, when they were in Japan, came into contact with Nakamura and started making music together.
The latter happened during the same tour in Japan as in which Live was recorded in Beppu, because the recording of Live at Ftarri took place four days earlier, on 13 April 2017. Ftarri is a shop and concert stage specialized in improvised and experimental music.
The four musicians have in common their open vision of what music is and can be. The game with sounds comes first, not so much as making rhythmic or melodic music. These musicians conduct research into sound, the possibilities of their instruments and how they fit into the sounds that the others produce. This can be done in a conventional, but certainly unconventional way. This leads to music that comes across as abstract, from which the joy of playing is dripping and which, as a listener, often leaves you astonished: what have I just heard?
The contribution of Nakamura ensures that the music gets a more expressive character in relation to the trio plate. Especially the beginning of opener 'Sprung Forth Digressed', in which all four musicians are very active, is lively. The sounds that come from four different sources do not enter into a covenant, but they do interact with each other, so that in some hectic, something of cohesion is suggested. After a little five minutes the storm will go. The unrest remains; these are impatient musicians who are much 'eager' to show their spontaneous finds. Andreae uses his saxophone as a wind and percussion instrument, Birch's sounds are a-rhythmic and are also created with the help of objects, Willberg squeals and chops his bass and Nakamura thunders with sharp sounds all over. And then it's only about a small part of what happens in the first part.
In the second piece, 'Prism Dialect', Andreae's sax is a bit more prominent at first, fragmentary, staccato and sharp. However, it is the unpredictable sounds from that strange instrument of the Japanese who determine the musical direction. The three Englishmen seem to move around there, looking for the right way to relate audibly to those electronic sounds. Willberg makes his bass heavy, and Birchall searches it in the low register on his instrument. Outright noise is lurking, but does not reach full maturity because the musicians keep control over their instruments. After a little six minutes Willberg strikes his strings and Andreae taps on his sax. Birchall goes into battle with Nakamura, where it is sometimes difficult to determine which sounds come from the guitar and which from the mixing board.
'Gathering Micron Glass' opens with open guitar sounds from Birchall, while Nakamura squeaks, yells and creaks. Sometimes the electronic sounds are long, but usually they move uneasily and seemingly uncontrollable. Yet the Japanese manages to give guidance, even if it is in a free and unpredictable way. Also in this piece there is a lot of space for percussive sounds, even woodblocks and a basin seem to be involved. Halfway through, the noiseknop goes full and the sax is boxing up against a wall of sound from guitar and mixing board. The sounds are sometimes shrill, but Nakamura also produces loudly hissing noises. Birchall pricks and stimulates and Willberg slides quickly over the bass strings. The different techniques alternate rapidly.
In the last part of the album, 'Fluent Still Spill Sealent', is in the beginning an a-rhythmic pattern of Birchalls guitar which is most striking. Andreae sounds sharp and mean and Willberg's bass growls and growls. Nakamura produces long sharp sounds, but also noise. He uses dynamic contrasts. It ends in a noisy climax around the fifth minute. Even now the game is mostly fragmentary and searching. Towards the end the Japanese knows how to create tension with threatening sounds.
The foregoing is no more than some sketches of what can be experienced at Live at Ftarri. Describing the music really is not feasible, for that reason simply happens too much in a short time. A well-defined context is lacking; it concerns four individuals with a whole arsenal of playing techniques and an enormous imagination in which musical research is paramount. This sometimes sounds noisy and chaotic, but it is precisely the turbulence in combination with the audible love for innovation in which the beauty of this music lies."

Introduction and aim: Psychological distress has been associated with the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Among the several psychological factors, personality traits of an individual have been explored as an important factor influencing the morbidity and mortality of CVDs. Type D personality, known as distressed personality type, comprised of two main characteristics such as negative affectivity and social inhibition. Studies found that during a period of 6–10 years, the mortality rate among type D patients with cardiovascular diseases was 27%; compared with 7% among healthy subjects. This study aimed to investigate the relation between type D personality and cardiovascular disease according to the literature review.
Methods: In this review study, researchers conducted their comprehensive computer search in databases such as Google Scholar and more specifically PubMed, PsycINFO, ProQuest, web of science, Cochrane Library, Science Direct and Scopus in the period of 1 August 2020 until 20 August 2020. The keywords which selected by MeSH strategy were [("Type D personality" OR "Type D personality traits") AND ("cardiovascular diseases" OR" coronary heart disease" hypertensive disorders")]. Articles from "1992 to 2020" were selected. Overall 28 articles have been searched. Researchers reviewed the abstract and full text of all searched articles and ultimately they applied 21 articles to write this review.
Results: The prevalence of type D personality among patients with CHD was reported 18.7 %. Personality traits such as optimism, conscientiousness, openness to experience, and curiosity have been found to be protective factors against development of CVDs. Studies have found strong association between Type D personality and stress cardiomyopathy after acute emotional stressful triggers leading to acute cardiac events. Individual risk factors such as tendency to unhealthy life style, non-completion of cardiac rehabilitation programs and poor compliance to treatment in individuals with Type D personality has also been found to be associated with the risk of developing serious illness such as CVDs, premature mortality and affect the quality of life in those individuals with chronic medical illness. Psychological issues such as chronic negative affect, low self-esteem, generally dissatisfied with life, suffer from depressive symptoms, chronic tension, anger, pessimism, decreased cognitive functioning, poor social support, and low levels of perceived well-being in individuals with a Type D personality are associated with exacerbating the prognosis of CVDs. Studies have reported that those with type D personality with CVDs experience more cardiac symptoms but are less likely to report cardiac symptoms (such as swollen legs, shortness of breath, etc.) to the medical professionals and tend to seek health care lately which resulting in severe symptoms due to their social inhibition tendency.
Conclusion: Increasing general public awareness about the role of personality traits and its impact on cardiac illness could be beneficial and various programs for psychological intervention are required to control for the distressed personality of patients with CVDs or hypertensive disorders.
Keywords: Type D personality, personality traits, cardiovascular diseases, coronary heart disease,

Background and Objective
Psychocardiology is a discipline that evaluates the effect of social, behavioral, and psychological factors on the onset, treatment, and progress of the cardiovascular diseases. Nowadays this discipline is noticed significantly and numerous investigations have been started in this field. Psychological factors, such as stress and depression cause poor prognosis in heart diseases.
More studies are needed to prove the effect of psychological disorder treatment on improvement of heart diseases.
Traditional Persian Medicine is a holistic system with thousands of years' history. It considers different parts of the human body as an integrated system in each disease. Persian medicine literature states close and two-way heart and brain relationships with specific physiology.
In this research, the concept of Psychocardiology from the viewpoint of Traditional Persian Medicine will be discussed.
In this review study, we investigate Psychocardiology articles and heart disease in Persian Medicine literature.
According to the articles, the concept of mind–body disease was first proposed by a German psychiatrist in 1818.
In 1943, a neurologist pointed to the role played by psychological factors in heart disease.
About one thousand years ago, Persian physicians expressed psychological and spiritual condition as an important factor in cardiac function. Grief, fear and anger induce weakness and inadequacy in cardiac function. Happiness and cheerfulness increase cardiac strength. One of the most important preventive or curative methods in cardiac field is exhilarating instructions or drugs. On the other hand, the Persian physicians pointed to the heart disease as an important etiology of psychological disorders.
Recent researches emphasizes the effect of psychological factors on heart diseases. This relationship is mentioned in Persian medicine literature and medical and non-medical methods for prevention and treatment are advised. So attention to this approach and setting clinical trials is helpful.

The development of obesity is multifactorial and it has genetic, environmental and lifestyle causes. People who are overweight or obese have more risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and are at increased risk of developing hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation .
This is an overview of the mechanisms of obesity and its relation to cardiovascular risks and describing the available treatment options to manage this condition.
Obesity is an independent risk factor for CVD, negatively affecting the heart's function and structure as well as the blood vessels' inner lining. Obesity affects the heart through risk factor such as Hypertension, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Elevated Blood Glucose and Inflammation. A variety of adaptations/alterations in cardiac structure and function occur as excessive adipose tissue accumulates, even in the absence of comorbidities.
Adipose tissue is not just a pool for fat, but an endocrine organ that is capable of synthesizing and releasing into the bloodstream a variety of molecules that may impact unfavorably the risk factor profile of a patient.
Weight loss may prevent the progression of atherosclerosis or the occurrence of acute coronary syndrome events in the obese high-risk population. The available data suggests that even modest weight loss improves diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.
To accomplish satisfactory goals, patients and physicians seek for weight loss, weight maintenance and improvement of the risk factors associated to this condition, especially cardiovascular risk.
We summarize the treatment options for obesity and the efficacy of these options in improving cardiovascular risk factors.

Introduction: Anxiety is one of the most common and important psychological reactions of patients with myocardial infarction. Anxiety has a negative effect on the trend and physical and mental recovery of the disease. The aim of this study was to determine State and Trait anxiety and their association with physiological indices in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used and physiological indices including heart rate and blood pressure were recorded from patients' monitors. Data analysis was performed by correlation coefficient test.
Results: The findings of this study showed that the mean score of State and Trait anxiety in patients with myocardial infarction were 51.67 (SD=3.44) and 49.24 (SD=2.85), respectively, which were in moderate to high level. The mean of heart rate was 78.87 (SD=12.76). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure of patients were 128.08 (SD=19.34) and 75.08 (SD=8.82), respectively. There was no association between State-Trait anxiety with heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the level of State and Trait anxiety in patients with acute myocardial infarction were in moderate to high, which requires special attention in the acute phase of the disease. Interventions to management and reduce anxiety in these patients are recommended.

مقدمه: اضطراب یکی از شایع ترین و مهمترین واکنش های روانی بیماران مبتلا به سکته قلبی است. این اختلال تاثیر منفی بر سیر بیماری و مرحله بهبودی جسمی و روانی بیماری دارد. هدف این پژوهش بررسی اضطراب آشکار و پنهان و ارتباط آن با شاخص های فیزیولوژیک در بیماران سکته حاد قلبی بود.
روش: این مطالعه به صورت مقطعی و بر روی 100 نفر از بیماران مبتلا به سکته حاد قلبی بستری در بیمارستان های مراکز آموزشی درمانی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شیراز انجام شد. پرسشنامه اشپیلبرگر و شاخص های فیزیولوژیک از جمله ضربان قلب، و فشارخون از مانیتور بیماران ثبت شد. تحلیل داده ها با آزمون ضریب همبستگی انجام شد.
نتایج: یافته های این مطالعه نشان داد میانگین اضطراب آشکار بیماران مبتلا به سکته قلبی (44/3) 67/51 بود. میانگین اضطراب پنهان در بیماران (85/2)24/49 بود که اضطراب آشکار و پنهان بیماران در سطح متوسط به بالا بود. میانگین ضربان قلب بیماران (76/12) 87/78 بود. فشارخون سیستول و دیاستول بیماران به ترتیب (34/19) 08/128 و (82/8) 08/75 بود. بین اضطراب آشکار و پنهان با ضربان قلب و فشارخون سیستول و دیاستول ارتباط وجود نداشت.
بحث و نتیجه گیری: نتایج این مطالعه نشان داد سطح اضطراب آشکار و پنهان بیماران دچار سکته حاد قلبی در حد متوسط به بالا است که لازم است توجهات ویژه در مرحله حاد بیماری از آنها به عمل آورد. انجام مداخلاتی جهت کنترل و کاهش اضطراب در این بیماران پیشنهاد می شود.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are chronic, distressing, and debilitating conditions that affect people's health with major negative effects on their quality of life. CVDs are among the top causes of death for the past decade. CVDs have impressed our country, Iran, as many countries around the world. unfortunately, the age of onset is much earlier (7-10years) than in other regions. there is a mutual relation between CVDs and psychological problems such as stress, anxiety, and depression. these two problems (anxiety and depression) in addition to the lack of social support increase the use of healthcare services, relapse, or exacerbation of the disease. the important role of psychiatric problems like anxiety and depression in CVDs, induces this question: what should healthcare providers do?
Focusing on the psychiatric aspect of CVDs should be considered as a part of treatment. the treatment of CVDs is routinely pharmacological and non-pharmacological.
The alternative therapies include stress management, relaxation therapy, therapeutic massage, guided imagery, and psychological treatment like cognitive behavior therapies and psychoeducational programs (PEPs) that are used to decrease patient's anxiety and distress.
The findings support the efficacy of some psychosocial interventions in people with CVDs. Some articles support only the short term effects of some psychosocial interventions for reducing tension, negative emotion, stress, anxiety, and depression in people with CVDs
It is recommended to perform this approach to reduce psychological problems. Although some articles didn't report long term effects, more research is required to find the best strategies that could help to maintain long term Positive results of psychosocial interventions in CVDs patients

More than 1.1 million people in North America experienced MI, more than 20% of whom are smokers.
Smoking causes atherosclerosis and increases the risk of death, myocardial infarction, angina, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke. Smoking cessation is an urgent issue in cardiovascular disease.
1) Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) which includes chewing gum, skin patch, and inhaler.
2) Non-nicotine replacement therapy (non NRT) which includes bupropion, varenicline, and counseling.
Previous research has shown that nicotine gum and skin patches do not cause platelet aggregation and thrombotic CVD, do not increase ischemia and are known to be safe. But because research has not been reviewed in the first few weeks after MI, guidelines recommend that NRT should be given with caution, especially in the first two weeks after MI. Another article states that although NRT is safer than cigarettes, there are a number of concerns, including smoking while using a nicotine patch. Additionally nicotine patches preferred due to slower nicotine release and lower concentrations than other NRT methods.
In the United States, Bupropion (SR) was registered as a smoking cessation treatment in 1997 and was recognized as a first-line treatment in 2001. An important cardiac complication of bupropion is a sympathomimetic activity, including high blood pressure and increased heart rate. Generally, the articles state that it does not increase the risk of cardiovascular complications and mentioned that it can be used safely in the first two weeks after a heart attack.
Varenicline is a selective, partial nicotinic receptor agonist that is as effective as NRT but more effective than bupropion. Previous articles reported chances of varenicline cardiovascular complications, although recent studies reported the same complications as bupropion. The chance of cardiovascular complications has also been ruled out by the FDA.

Introduction and aim: Delirium is fluctuating, acute, and multifactorial condition leading to mental confusion, altered level of consciousness and declined cognitive level. It affects 15-70% of the medical and surgical population under open heart surgery admitted to intensive care units. Prevention of delirium is clearly desirable for both patients and healthcare professionals, and can also reduce the health service costs. A range of non-pharmacological interventions for preventing delirium in hospitalized patients have been developed. This study aimed to assess the non-pharmacological interventions on the prevention of delirium in patients under open heart surgery.
Methods: The present study is a review in which researchers conducted their computer search in database such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect,, Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus with using text word and medical Subject Heading (MesH) methods with key words such as [("non-pharmacological interventions" OR "non-pharmacological strategies" OR "psychological interventions") AND ("delirium" OR " acute confusion state) AND ("open heart surgeries" OR "heart surgery")]. As a result of search process, 40 articles were extracted from 1995-2020. Articles were excluded if they were written in languages other than Persian or English or were irrelevant to the topic. The abstract of all retrieved articles were read and screened and ultimately, we used 31 full text articles to write this review study.
Results: Among studies showed that there are different non-pharmacological strategies to prevent the delirium in patients under heart surgeries. Results were classified in three main categories. Physical interventions (such as counteraction of immobilization, range of motion exercises, multicomponent physical therapy, multicomponent intensive occupational therapy including positioning, physical rehabilitation, paired awakening and breathing, avoidance of sensory deprivation (glasses, denture and hearing aids)), environmental interventions (such as bright light therapy, environmental manipulation, inserted familiar objects in the room such as clock and calendar), psychosocial intervention (such as systematic cognitive screening, multicomponent orientation and cognitive stimulation and training, cognitive-behavioral methods, relative involvement such as reorientation using family voice and family supportive reorientation, daily proactive geriatrics consultation, progressive muscle relaxation, relaxing breathing techniques, (self) hypnosis, guided imagery or autogenic training, psychoeducational interventions, music therapy and singing).
Conclusion: Given the possibility of delirium incidence in patients under the heart surgery is relatively high, so considering multicomponent interventions such as multicomponent non-pharmacological in the therapeutic planning may be useful in preventing of the delirium in these patients.

Introduction and purpose: Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) often experience changes in their ability to engage in and enjoy of sexual activities, which can lead to less frequent and less satisfying sexual relationship. The problem of sexual dysfunction in women with CVD has less attention to the healthcare professional and also researchers all over the world and most of studies were conducted on men with cardiovascular diseases and erectile dysfunction. Based on the literature approximately 60-90% of patients with congestive heart failure reported the sexual dysfunction in their disease period. The aim of this study is to investigate the biopsychosocial factors related of sexual dysfunction in women with cardiovascular diseases.
Methods: The present study is a review in which researchers conducted their computer search in public database like Google Scholar and more specific databases such as ScienceDirect, SID, Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus with using text word and medical Subject Heading (MesH) methods with key words such as [("sexual dysfunction" OR "sexual disorders" OR "sexual activity") AND ("cardiovascular diseases" OR "coronary artery disease" OR " congestive heart failure ") AND ("psychiatric disorders" OR "psychological problems")]. As a result of searching process, 33 articles were extracted from 2002-2020. Articles were excluded if they were written in languages other than English or Persian, were duplicates or were irrelevant to the topic. Researchers reviewed the abstract of all retrieved articles and ultimately, they used 25 full text articles to write this review study.
Results: Studies showed that different factors lead to sexual dysfunction in these patients. Biological causes such as changes in blood circulation and reduced amount of blood supplied to distant area of body in these patients such as the genital region can lead to erectile dysfunction in men and sexual arousal difficulties in women. Also symptoms of cardiovascular disease such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue may also interfere with sexual performance and enjoyment of sexual activities. Having multiple chronic comorbidities such as diabetes, chronic pulmonary disease, cancer and side effects of medications such as diuretics and beta-blockers may also disrupt sexual activity. Social issues such as unhealthy behaviors included of smoking, inadequate sleep, alcohol abuse, physical inactivity and higher age have also negative effect on these patient's desire for sexual relationships. Psychological issues such as emotional distress, depression and anxiety due to suffering from CVD in the first stages of disease, fear of not safe to be sexually active, adjustment and relational challenges among couples also increased the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and disturbed quality of life among these patients.
Conclusion: Due to the sexual activity directly effect on the quality of life such as mental and physical health among patients with CVD, so healthcare professionals should seriously notice to these patient's sexual relationships and for cases with sexual dysfunction, the appropriate counseling in this regard should be considered and provided.

FLTC Services Limited fund the Fishing Safely in Changing European Waters Project (FSCEW) project, which provides fishermen with positional information about offshore surface and sub-sea structures and infrastructure in connection with oil and gas activities in U.K. waters. The costs of the project have been supported by substantial grants awarded by the Scottish Ministers and the European Union through their structural funds who are thereby investing in sustainable fisheries.
Kingfisher Information Services is a sub division of the Sea Fish Industry Authority and has worked on several projects over the years to raise awareness and understanding between the oil and gas and fishing industries. Through the FSCEW Information project, and in close co-operation with Oil & Gas UK, Kingfisher has promoted the awareness of surface and subsea obstructions.
The main objective of such projects is to disseminate, in both digital (electronic) and paper (chart) formats, accurate positional data on all surface and sea-bed oil & gas installations (eg. platforms, pipelines, wellheads, etc) throughout the UK Continental Shelf. The data is available FREE to all fishing vessels working in the area and is compatible with the most popular fishing plotters including Sodena, Trax, SIS, Microplot, Winfish, Litton Fishmaster, Chartworx/Quodfish, Maxsea, Penta and Transas Navfish 3000 systems.

Black Lung – The Grand Chessboard
October 1, 2004 by MvG
David Thrussell always puts politics into his music. This time the cover is filled with quotes from Brzezinski's The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And It's Geostrategic Imperatives, on which the Americans based their 'divide and rule' strategy. However, in the music there are no references to these quotes (except for the song titles).
The Grand Chessboard is an instrumental album, which is very much rhythmic orientated. Most tracks are dance tunes, a-typical dance tunes, but still dance tunes.
'The Zone Of Percolating Violence' and 'The Multiple Contest', for example, could do very well on a wide range of dancefloors, from elektro to industrial. Although many tracks have a dance feeling, the tracks have many layers which makes this album also a very interesting listening experience. Thus 'Despotic Heroic Diversion' could have been a classic rave track if it wasn't for the freaky sounds and rhythms.
There are also hints of ambient on The Grand Chessboard. 'Neither Dominion Nor Exclusion' and 'Grandeur And Redemption' are ambient orientated tracks. Hectic and distorted rhythms are placed on top of the tranquil sounds, just to keep your attention.
This new Black Lung album is an excellent piece of cutting edge electronic music. Recommended to fans of almost all electronic music genres.

ICYMI: Progressive Dominated School Board Attempts To Waste Tax Dollars, Zero Accountability

Progressive Dominated School Board Attempts To Waste Tax Dollars, Zero Accountability
Albuquerque, NM– This morning's Albuquerque Journal Editorial highlights a real problem with the Albuquerque Public School Board, which is dominated by leftwing progressives. This week, Luis Valentino is being rightfully forced out his position at superintendent, because of clear negligence hiring a deputy superintendent who was accused of child molestation. However instead of simply firing Valentino, the board gave him a sweetheart deal that included an $80,000 buyout, a month's salary and a letter of recommendation.
"If the voters want to look at an absurd use of tax dollars, look no further than the Albuquerque School Board," said Pat Garrett, spokesman for the Republican Party of New Mexico. "They put taxpayers on the hook the day they hired Valentino."
Editorial: Another buyout, another bad APS leadership joke
Albuquerque Journal Editorial Board
http://www.abqjournal.com/637855/opinion/another-buyout-another-bad-aps-leadership-joke.html
When your elective leaders' actions on behalf of taxpayers become the running gag around town – even making the national news – it's time to re-evaluate them.
This week, the common refrain across the Duke City is, "I wish someone would pay me $80,000 to go away," courtesy of the feckless Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education and embattled – and now-former – Superintendent Luis Valentino.
The board decided Monday to pay Valentino a month's salary and a lump sum of $80,000 and hand him a three-paragraph, highly complimentary letter of reference.
And that has many asking, "If that's what you get for doing an unacceptable job, where do I sign up?"
After less than three months with APS – and just 12 school days – Valentino was shown the door Monday, presumably for hiring a suspected child predator who jumped bail to come to New Mexico.
Yet in return for his letter of resignation, the board gifted him with a letter that says, in part: "During his tenure in the school district, Dr. Valentino provided leadership and vision for the District under increasingly difficult circumstances while maintaining a strong commitment to quality instructional programs and initiatives. We found Dr. Valentino to be personable, willing to listen to the opinions of others including the APS community, and responsive in his work with board members."
And the incongruity of holding 12 hours of meetings behind closed doors to ultimately cut someone loose while publicly praising his leadership and vision has taxpayers scratching their heads while the board reaches into their wallets.
It was barely a year ago the board handed then-Superintendent Winston Brooks $350K in a secret deal to go away. The Journal and KOB-TV have filed a lawsuit seeking to open up the factual findings in that report.
After launching a search for his replacement, then relaunching it after the application window closed, the board hired Valentino. And as Tuesday's front-page announced, now "He's gone."
There are those who might argue that APS got off cheap, considering Valentino was holding a three-year contract worth $720,000. But that's not the point. The school board hired him, and if his actions were so egregious as to merit firing him after a few weeks, it should have fired him, not paid him off and provided him with a letter of recommendation.
The secretary of education and the courts should ensure this irresponsible payoff meets every guideline required in PED rules, including "a detailed statement outlining (a) the dispute between the local board and the administrator; (b) a description of the negotiations leading to the settlement agreement; (c) a detailed accounting of the damages which have been or may be incurred, including any setoff due to the administrator's mitigation of any damages; (d) a copy of all pleadings to be filed with the court relative to the dispute; and (e) a copy of the administrator's current employment contract."
The public is depending on PED and a judge for the accountability the APS school board has failed to provide regarding its latest superintendent drama.
And despite the folks cracking wise around town, that, along with this latest buyout, is no laughing matter.
This editorial first appeared in the Albuquerque Journal. It was written by members of the editorial board and is unsigned as it represents the opinion of the newspaper rather than the writers.
