We can't get over this new cinematic from League of Legends.
MOBA game League of Legends has always been popular with its cinematics. The short clips that Riot Games produce most often than not features a smooth animation and stunning visuals partnered with a compelling story.
This year, Summoners are welcomed by 'Awaken,' the latest League of Legends cinematic. The three-minute video features our favorite champions in their respective lore locations. 'Awaken' shows the members of the League, with moments that show their awakening state.
The champions featured in the League of Legends 2019 cinematic 'Awaken' in order of their appearance are: Jhin, Draven, Irelia, Camille, Riven, Sion, Karma, Akali, Yasuo, and Kennen.
Riot does it again, this time with a collaboration from Philadelphia-based singer and songwriter Valerie Broussard. Broussard's voice gave life to season 2019's opening song, co-written by the Riot Music Team and Alex Seaver of Mako.
Past League of Legends Cinematics.
With 'Awaken' being the latest LOL cinematic out there, we've been audio-visually fed by Riot Games with their past cinematic.
'A New Dawn,' which is the longest LOL cinematic, was released four years ago and has now 42 million views on YouTube.
We also have 'A Twist of Fate,' which was release back in 2013 now has 45 million views.
It's strike two for the competitive Indian CS:GO scene.


The Asola table lamp is a glimpse of the Seventies and Eighties, as much in terms of the material used - perforated steel - and its white color as its stylised mushroom-like shape.

The immediate success of the Asola table lamp led Ligne Roset and Evangelos Vasileiou to develop further the range for 2017 with the addition of a spectacular suspended light Ø 23½"/60 cm constructed from 3 cylinders made from white lacquered perforated steel. The extreme purity of form of this suspended light, being the simple association of several cylinders of differing heights and diameters, confers an air of clarity, a guarantee of timeless seduction. The shade (H 20"/51 cm Ø 23½"/60 cm) comprises 3 cylinders made from satin white lacquered perforated sheet steel. The light is suspended from 1"/3 cm x 59"/150 cm steel wires with 'coulistop' mechanism. White lacquered ceiling fitting (H 1"/3 cm Ø 4¾"/12 cm). Requires 1 x 116 W E 26 standard (classic A) eco halogen bulb (not supplied).

Q: GCD = 1 and harmonic numbers, what is the exact asymptotic? I am looking for the exact asymptotic for this partial sum:
$$a(N) = \sum_{n=1}^{n=N}\sum_{\substack{k=1 \\ GCD(n,k)=1}}^{k=n*m} \frac{1}{k}$$
where $m$ is some integer $1,2,3,4,5,...$
My guess was that since this is closely related to the Euler totient:
$$\phi(N) = \sum_{n=1}^{n=N}\sum_{\substack{k=1 \\ GCD(n,k)=1}}^{k=n} 1$$
it should be a combination of the average order $\zeta(2) = \frac{\pi ^2}{6}$ of the Euler totient, and the asymptotics for the partial sums of the Harmonic numbers, and therefore:
$$a(N) \sim \frac{\int (\log (m n)+\gamma ) \, dn}{\frac{\pi ^2}{6}}$$
$$a(N) \sim \frac{n \log (m n)+\gamma  n-n}{\frac{\pi ^2}{6}}$$
would be a good approximation. However, it appears that:
$$a(N) \sim \frac{\int (\log (m n)+1.988\gamma ) \, dn}{\frac{\pi ^2}{6}}$$
$$a(N) \sim \frac{n \log (m n)+1.988\gamma  n-n}{\frac{\pi ^2}{6}}$$
is better. But where does the factor $1.988$ come from, and should it be there at all?
Plotting them it looks like a good fit:

where the staircase is $a(N)$ for the case $m=1$ and the yellow line is the asymptotic.
Included is the overestimate (green curve):
$$\frac{n \log (m n)+(1.988+1)\gamma  n-n}{\frac{\pi ^2}{6}}$$
and the underestimate (red curve):
$$\frac{n \log (m n)+(1.988-1)\gamma  n-n}{\frac{\pi ^2}{6}}$$
I don't know if they really are over- and underestimates. I am just guessing. For small $N$ they are not.
Anyways, differentiating we have for the overestimate:
$$\frac{\log (m n)+(1.988+1)\gamma )}{\frac{\pi ^2}{6}}$$
and the underestimate:
$$\frac{\log (m n)+(1.988-1)\gamma )}{\frac{\pi ^2}{6}}$$
Plotting the staircase $a(N)$ minus the asymptotic $\frac{n \log (m n)+1.988\gamma  n-n}{\frac{\pi ^2}{6}}$ with conjectured bounds from differentiated over- and underestimates:

Ultimately I am interested in the von Mangoldt function:
$$\Lambda(N) = \lim_{m-->\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{n=N}\sum_{k=1}^{k=n*m} \frac{b(G(n,k))}{k}$$
and the Chebyshev function. In the formula the sequence "b" is the Dirichlet inverse of the Euler totient function.
There might be an error in the $\Lambda(N)$ formula above, but expressed simpler, the von Mangoldt function is:
$$\Lambda(n) =\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{b(GCD(n,k))}{k}$$
where again the sequence "b" is the Dirichlet inverse of the Euler totient function.

A: Here is a modest contribution that can perhaps initiate a discussion.
We compute the asymptotics of
$$A(N) = \sum_{n=1}^N \sum_{k=1 \atop (n,k)=1}^n \frac{1}{k}.$$
Introduce $$q(N,k) = \sum_{n=1\atop (n,k)=1}^N 1
\sim N \frac{\varphi(k)}{k}.$$
Rewrite the sum in terms of $q(N,k),$ getting
$$\sum_{k=1}^N \frac{1}{k} \sum_{n=k\atop (n,k)=1}^N 1 =
1 + \sum_{k=1}^N \frac{1}{k} (q(N,k) - \varphi(k)).$$
The one term in front compensates for the fact that when $k=1$ we have
$$\sum_{n=1\atop (n,k)=1}^N 1 = q(N, k)$$ and not $q(N,k)-1.$
Now switching to asymptotics we obtain
$$ \sum_{k=1}^N \frac{1}{k} \left(N \frac{\varphi(k)}{k} - \varphi(k)\right).$$
We will use the Mellin-Perron formula to predict the first term of the asymptotics (a rigorous proof would include a bound on the remainder integral).
Recall the Mellin-Perron summation formula:
$$\sum_{k=1}^{n-1} \lambda_k + \frac{1}{2} \lambda_n =
\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{c-i\infty}^{c+i\infty} L(s) \frac{n^s}{s} ds
\quad\text{where}\quad
L(s) = \sum_{k\ge 1} \frac{\lambda_k}{k^s}.$$
Now the well-known $$\sum_{d|n} \varphi(d) = n \quad \text{immediately implies}\quad
\sum_{k\ge 1} \frac{\varphi(k)}{k^s} = \frac{\zeta(s-1)}{\zeta(s)}.$$
Therefore
$$ \sum_{k\ge 1} \frac{\varphi(k)/k^2}{k^s} = \frac{\zeta(s+1)}{\zeta(s+2)}
\quad\text{and}\quad
\sum_{k\ge 1} \frac{\varphi(k)/k}{k^s} = \frac{\zeta(s)}{\zeta(s+1)}.$$
Thus by Mellin-Perron,
$$A(N)  \sim
N\times\operatorname{Res}\left(\frac{\zeta(s+1)}{\zeta(s+2)} \frac{N^s}{s}; s=0\right)
- \operatorname{Res}\left(\frac{\zeta(s)}{\zeta(s+1)} \frac{N^s}{s}; s=1\right).$$
Computing the residues we thus obtain
$$A(N) \sim \frac{6}{\pi^2} N\log N
+ \frac{6}{\pi^2} \left(\gamma - \frac{6}{\pi^2} \zeta'(2)-1\right) N.$$
This approximation is quite good, for example $A(1000) \approx 4291.209545$ and the approximation gives $4288.884325$. For $A(2000) \approx 9423.976478$ we get $9420.534562.$ Even more impressive, $A(5000)\approx 26339.64158$ and the asymptotic formula gives $26336.52625$.
Observe that
$$1.988\gamma-1 \approx 0.147504742
\quad\text{and}\quad
\gamma-\frac{6}{\pi^2}\zeta'(2)-1 \approx 0.147176658,$$
confirming the numeric result from the original query.
We really needed Mellin-Perron because the pole of the first sum term is a double pole and Wiener-Ikehara only applies to simple poles, like the one in the second term.

CTA Australia has left its footprint on yet another Victorian icon thanks to its ProStep safety stair noising product.
CTA Australia has left its indelible footprint on yet another Victorian icon: Birrarung Marr. The company's ProStep® safety stair nosing has provided the complex with safe and secure footing for the general public utilising the space.
ProStep® safety stair nosing was reviewed as a viable product for the Birrarung Marr project by Citywide Service Solutions Pty Ltd, one of Australia's fastest-growing facility managers providing environmental, engineering and maintenance services to both the commercial and government sectors.
Hok Sie, senior engineer and team leader for Infrastructure Design with the City of Melbourne, was ultimately responsible for the selection process.
"When choosing the stair nosing for the Birrarung Marr project, a number of products were critically reviewed. The most important criteria we had to address was public safety. This was an element high on the agenda for the team." Hok Sie said that ultimately ProStep® safety stair nosing won the approval of the Infrastructure Design Team because it provides "excellent safety characteristics, is brightly coloured and is less likely to detach".
When asked how the product is performing, Hok Sie commented that he was satisfied with the product to date and based on this would recommend ProStep® safety stair nosing for future works.
It is encouraging to see that the ProStep® characteristics highlighted by CTA Australia are being used as the criteria of selection by reputable companies such as Citywide Service Solutions and councils. CTA Australia is very aware that councils are critical agents acting on behalf of a savvy public who demand safety, aesthetics and value for their taxpayer dollar, so the company designs and manufactures products on the strength of this philosophy.

Empirical studies suggest that horizontal gene transfer may play a key role in sustaining cooperation among bacteria. What does this mean for the conceptual foundations of social evolution theory? I argue that it compels us to rethink certain aspects of the received wisdom about the evolution of altruism, and to revise the very concept of "genetic relatedness" in order to accommodate changes over time in the genetic makeup of individuals. It may even shed new light on some of the puzzles of human social evolution. This is because horizontal transmission, albeit of a very different kind, may have been crucial to the stability of altruism in early human populations.

Het alien-handsyndroom (AHS) is een neurologische aandoening, waarbij een ledemaat (meestal de hand) van een persoon gedragingen vertoont, zonder de intentie van de persoon. Het ledemaat lijkt een eigen wil te hebben.

De klinische definitie vereist "het gevoel dat een ledemaat vreemd is of een eigen wil heeft, samen met aantoonbare onvrijwillige motoriek" (met nadruk "zonderling").

Het syndroom is vaak het gevolg van een beschadiging aan het corpus callosum, enerzijds wanneer het is gescheiden ter behandeling van hardnekkige epilepsie, of te wijten aan een beroerte.

De standaard neurologische verklaring is dat de gevoelde wil weergegeven door de taaldominante linker hemisfeer niet correspondeert met de handelingen uitgevoerd door de niet-taaldominante rechter hemisfeer, en zo suggererend dat de twee hemisferen onafhankelijk besef van vrije wil zouden kunnen hebben.

Play the video made about KodeKLIX.
Simon Millman MLA, Nick Coplin (founder of KodeKLIX) and Dave Kelly MP with Year 6 Perth College students.
The Coplin kids try out dad's KodeKLIX invention.
In 2017 KodeKLIX® was awarded an Innovation Voucher Program funding by the Western Australian Government to help tailor kits and lesson plans to meet the Australian STEM curriculum and incoming reporting requirements. These school kits were successfully trialled in classrooms across Western Australia in Term 4, 2017 with over 400 students experiencing STEM through the KodeKLIX® system. The STEM resources including KodeKLIX® kit and AISWA developed STEM in Practice publications are available to order.
"Year Six students were excited to explore KodeKlix kits containing several electronic input and output sensors and actuators. Using the Blockly Pickaxe app, students designed, built and coded their circuits via the KodeKlix CPU with great enjoyment."

It started simply enough. Cleaning windows. Not my favorite pastime but much needed in light of the perpetual construction in our neighborhood. My husband had unenthusiastically agreed to help and I jumped on the opportunity to enlist his help. We pulled out the first window frame, but instead of sliding out, it popped off the track that was holding it. My husband and I tried in vain to get the window back on the track but the window refused to cooperate. Every time we tried, the window would slip and almost drop.
"Not now!" we almost screamed in unison. The window was heavy and we were not in the frame of mind to listen to the simple prattle of a 7 year old.
Steve and I stared at each other. Could it be that our son had seen something that we seasoned adults could not? Steve bent down, precariously balancing the window on his shoulder. Michael was right. The window had to come all the way out and be maneuvered down and under in order to fit back into the frame correctly. Since Michael was shorter than us, he saw the problem from a different vantage point. But more importantly, he was willing to look at the problem without pre-conceived ideas of how a window ought to work. He had a helpful, fresh perspective.
When was the last time you sought out a fresh perspective on a challenge? Who might you ask for a new idea on an old problem?
The Zac Brown Band concert was a highly anticipated affair. Hundreds of people believing they had select tickets only to find out the entire concert was to be a mosh pit—standing only—no seats. Not for anyone. Desire to enjoy a concert became the test of fan loyalty. Will you stand with hundreds of people for hours in hopes of catching a glimpse of musical history?
Voices in unison sang and proclaimed the deepest of human connections. Hailing from all over the country, from all socio-economic standings, from all ages, proclaiming heart-felt truths and singing poignantly in unison where just a brief moment earlier there was division. Genuine heartfelt truths bonded this unlikely mob together.
So if you agree have a drink with me and raise your glasses for a toast..."
We all have that point of connection, that place where we connect in ways that go deeper than what the surface reveals. It may take moments, precious time, but the bond and encouragement is real. Where can you take time to find a connection point with another person—particularly someone you initially disagree with or someone who at first glance irritates you? Where can you go beyond the normal and touch deeper human values? Find touchpoints that will connect you and allow you to see each other as similar beings who can respect each other.
Last night, I heard a star had been eclipsed. A light had been extinguished. A comfort had been erased. My dear mother-in-law had passed on.
Let's face it, there are so many mother-in-law jokes—none too complimentary, but my mother-in-law defied rules. She defied stagnant prescriptions of behavior. Instead, she defined beauty, goodness and class. Now, she is gone.
Even in her last days, she hung on every word of her loved ones, living vibrantly through their efforts at life. Selfless and bold, she defied her infirmity by stepping strongly into every day; even when she could no longer take the physical steps she longed to take.
Legacy. It is what she left in the lives of everyone she touched. She understood legacy in the simplest, most powerful form. Held close in the hearts of all who knew her, her influence will always be on our collective minds. Her life will never be forgotten.
Legacy in its purest form leaves a mark on the hearts of many—so different from a cold, stone epitaph. Her legacy is unique, vibrant and alive.
Spinach soufflé with Parmesan cream, salami with white truffles, radicchio-chestnut pesto pasta, liters of sparkling wine—red and white. Italy has beautiful flavors. Lunch was two-and-a-half hours and as I sat there enjoying the great food and even better company I began to think, this lifestyle sure is fun but how on earth does anyone make a living?? Simone, our interpreter with her PhD in economics was bright and entertaining as she enlightened me on the Italian way of life. She had just returned from Argentina and was glad to be back in terra Italia.
Her enjoyment of the extended noon repast was evident. She said when she was in the States she was baffled by American meetings, saying they were a huge waste of time. She noticed that Americans wasted their meeting times by socializing and talking about anything but the subject at hand. She said that when Italians are at work, they want to work. Then when they lunch they enjoy themselves and share life with those around them. And they do this not in a simple small-talk-way but in a way that integrated life, great food, story and friendship. She observed that personal issues in the workplace made work inefficient and, when shared in this context, were not as relationship-building like times sharing life over longer lunches. Americans would never allow themselves to take a two hour lunch, and yet she felt much more was accomplished when people did business during their work hours and reserved meaningful deeper social interaction for meals.
What do you think? Sharing life with others sprinkled throughout the day or in a longer block of time over a meal? Having been a part to both, I have to say I vote Italian. I feel a deep connection to the four people I ate with that day that a normal day of business could not produce. It fed my soul in the midst of accomplishing all of our business for the day. Thoughts?
Last week Dr. Liz and I had the opportunity to spend the week at the Christian Leadership Alliance (CLA) Conference. It was a great time! Dr. Liz spend the first day conducting an all day mentoring training, we then spent the rest of the week connecting with and learning from incredibly knowledgeable people. Additionally, for me one of the most enjoyable parts of our week was the opportunity to intentionally brain storm possibiities for our organization. Only then did I realize how valuable that time is. We generally are so caught up in the fast pace of our personal and business lives that we must focus on just getting the job done. Although that is certainly necessary, what would it look like if we built in time to just brainstorm and strategize? What if we regularly had time to clear our heads of our to-do lists and could focus on considering all we have learned, developing new initiatives, throwing out ideas and possibilities? Not only could our organizations benefit from this fresh perspective, but we as individuals would be refreshed and energized as well. I know that is the case for me. I am looking forward to intentionally building in this time for myself and for our team.

Consider This Advice Before Hiring A Locksmith The more you know, the better. This has proven to be true over and over again in your life, and now you know it applies to the situation of hiring a locksmith, too. That means you need to learn all you can from this article, so check out the advice below. Always get keys made by a locksmith that is close to your home. Sometimes keys are not calibrated correctly and they will not fit the lock in question. Going to someone too far means there will be a hassle if you have to take the keys back. Aim for a place that is a mile or two from where you live. It may be tempting to call multiple locksmiths when you are locked out of your car or home, but this is a very bad idea. This means inconveniencing anyone that is unfortunate enough to show up a bit later. In some cases, all of them will leave you stranded as a courtesy to one another. If you are locked out of your vehicle at a bar or a gentleman's club, give the locksmith you call the impression that you work there. Many times a locksmith will give you a higher quote if they assume you have been spending money. Being a little dishonest can save you some extra cash. Preparation is key, even if you don't think you'll hire a locksmith down the road. Research locksmiths in advance, and know who you would call on if you were to have an emergency. Save your locksmith's phone number in your phone just so that you always have it. Before you hang up the phone with a locksmith, tell them you want a written and signed estimate before they start the job. Anyone who hesitates is looking to make a few quick bucks. You should also make sure to get a receipt after all of the work has been done. The best way to find the most reliable locksmith is usually word of mouth. When you need one, start asking your friends and family who they trust. From there, check with the local BBB or other agency that will provide information about reputations. Don't just trust anyone with the keys to your home! Learning is the best way to master any situation, even hiring a locksmith. With all of this great knowledge in mind, move forward and use it to find the best option available. In the end, the time spent reading this article will truly be the step which led you to the right professional.


The domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) is one of the most recent animals to have been domesticated by man. In law, cats are considered to be "Free spirits" & therefore it is very difficult for their keepers be prosecuted - if for example - damage has been caused by pet cats. As such these "free spirits" retain much of their wild instincts & will revert to them relatively quickly. This does not mean that stray cats are capable of fending for themselves however! They will not have been taught the vital survival skills necessary to survive alone from their tame - dependant parents.
Thousands of cats go astray throughout the seasons, but especially at certain times of the year.
Curiosity & panic can be a cat's worst enemy.
Neutered males will still happily adventure out in glorious sunshine or track something of interest, but they usually only go a little farther than than their much smaller-territories.
There are lots af fascinating insects & birds & animals to be curious about in Spring. Hormones are awoken by the longer daylight hours & fledglings for example are more vulnerable at dusk & dawn when cats - crepuscular by nature - are most active.
If when venturing a little farther than usual something takes a cat by surprise in unfamiliar surroundings, those famous reflexes can have them bolting wildly for cover. If they are not sure where they are after their panicked sprint, they may have an ordeal ahead of them in re-locating their home territory.
A wise precaution to avoid the above is to keep cats in overnight before darkness falls, & provide them with stimulation in their home territory.

This study sets out to investigate how learning and development of students through social interaction in the classroom can be pursued by the teacher in the learning contexts of higher education. The aim of this study is to compare the types of teachers' questions to their students used at undergraduate and graduate levels during argumentative disciplinary discussions in the classroom. The data corpus is constituted by 16 video-recorded lessons of two courses – one at undergraduate level and one at graduate level – in Developmental Psychology. The two courses were selected according to the following criteria: i) similar number of students, ii) similar disciplinary domain, iii) both courses are taught by the same teacher in English language. The analytical approach adopted for the analysis relies on a qualitative methodology based on the pragma-dialectical ideal model of a critical discussion. The findings of this study indicate that at the undergraduate level the teacher asks questions that can favor a large discussion with and among students around general topics relating to Developmental Psychology. At the graduate level the teacher asks questions that refer to specific aspects of a certain theory. However, both at undergraduate and graduate level the students are expected to provide the reasons at the basis of their own opinions by advancing arguments that have to refer to scientific theories. The results of this study bring to light the crucial role played by the teacher in promoting learning and development of students, by favouring the beginning of argumentative discussions with and among them on topics relating to the discipline taught in the course.


BARCELONA: Telecom regulator Trai said on Wednesday that it will not recommend any reduction in 5G spectrum reserve prices even as Bharti Airtel said it will not participate in the auction of the airwaves due to excessive pricing.
"There is no question at all of making any changes to the prices, which we have recommended for 5G spectrum," Trai chairman R S Sharma said on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress.
Sharma said prices suggested by Trai are "reasonable" and have been worked upon after detailed assessment. "We stand by our recommendation. However, a final decision will be taken by the government." He added that the department of telecom has not asked any major questions around spectrum pricing.
Sharma's statement comes a day after Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal said reserve prices of 5G spectrum are too high."We can (participate), but we will not at these prices because it makes no sense. The telecom department can keep trying — they had two failed auctions and do they want to have five more failed auctions? … India will get into 5G, but the only thing that will stand in the way is right pricing for spectrum. The government can decide if they want to do it in one go or three times," Mittal said.
The government intends to auction 5G spectrum over the next one year as India is willing to join the high-speed bandwagon in line with the global trend. The government is keen to begin trials for 5G applications very soon and is looking at participation of telecom and network equipment companies.


I spent much of my childhood in various European countries and one of my favorite TV shows, apart from Dr. Who, was It's A Knockout (1966-1988), called Jeux Sans Frontieres when it caught on in mainland Europe.
This might explain why I enjoy Korean Variety Shows so much. It was an extremely popular show and lasted for many years, mainly I think because it made people laugh. And that is what so many Korean Variety Shows do, they make you laugh.
But they can also make you cry. They can make you want to travel, to eat something or even feel less lonely. Often you can end up more informed on multiple topics than you were when the show began, which is a cool thing. They are also an excellent way to learn more about your favorite K.celebrity. And lastly they take non Koreans on a journey into the social and cultural aspects of what makes Koreans Korean.
There's a huge number of KVariety Shows that can sort of be divided into categories, but as so many things overlap please consider any category very fluid. There are shows that have games and competitions, such as X-Man, Weekly Idol, and Running Man, while others might focus more on food. For example Take Care Of My Refrigerator, Youn's Kitchen, and Three Meals A Day. Even they, however, might also be considered talk shows, as learning more about each celebrity guest is also part of most Korean Variety shows.
Other shows might have more of a lean towards travel, such as Grandpas Over Flowers, Carefree Travelers, and the most iconic of Ktravel shows Law Of The Jungle.
Or perhaps the focus is more on Sports. Let's Go Dream Team, Idol Star Athletics Championship, and Cool Kidz On The Block all have a strong sporting element.
Cute babies and children are always popular. Add in some celebrities and you have shows like The Return Of Superman, and Hello Baby.
Or there's a whole slew of shows with a strong musical element plus the threat of elimination. Shows such as Show Me The Money, The Unit, Produce 101, Unpretty Rap Star, and others like Fantastic Duo, and King Of Masked Singers. Many of these document to what lengths young performers have to go to to gain success. These shows often have a strong following with national and International Kpop fans as well as with the general Korean public.
There are other ways you can categorize Korean Variety shows. Lately shows focusing on foreigner's reactions to visiting Korea have become somewhat of a trend. Welcome, First Time In Korea being one of the more recent. But perhaps the most important way to classify some of them is just with the term 'successful'. Happy Together (2001>>>),Infinite Challenge (2005 >>>), Two Days & 1 Night (2007>>>) We Got Married (2008-2017), and RunningMan (2010 >>>) plus a few others, have all stood the test of time. Yes, they've mixed things up a bit, had cast changes and more, yet they endure. And in the rapidly changing TV, Cable, Streaming world of today that really says something.
There are a large number of KVariety shows that I haven't mentioned and I hope to look a little deeper into what made, or makes, each show special in future posts. If you're feeling a little down I heartily recommend you watch a KVariety show or two. They can often be found on YouTube, as well as Netflix, Viki, Kocowa etc and are sure to cheer you up.
You may also enjoy The Humor In Mud, Korean Variety Show Games, and Best Of Weekly Idol Random Play Dances.

Y-chromosome STR haplotype in Szekely population.
Beer Z, Csete K, Varga T.
Eight Y-chromosome STR markers (DYS19, DYS389/I, DYS389/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385) were examined in an isolated Szekely (known as old Hungarian) population living in Corund, Romania. Ninety different haplotypes were obtained from 99 unrelated Szekely males.
Even if, not being an expert, I cannot completely interpret the results of the research, but interesting idea in doing this study in Corund, which is a quite remote place in Harghita county, Romania.
Can you draw some clear conclusion over this paper?
I think this study is still on work and has no clear conclusions other than there are probably certain affinities to Polish-Baltic-Finnic populations in Eastern Europe.

The strongman vs. the majority
■ Thomaz Favaro
The government's pro-business stance will remain unabated in 2020, and so will its commitment to rebalancing public finances; the administration of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro however is likely to struggle to implement large swathes of its reform agenda in the face of a shrinking coalition in Congress. Even the economic growth forecasted for 2020 is unlikely to substantially improve his low approval ratings, which have nose-dived since he took office – a reflection of his polarizing nature and penchant for controversial statements. Bolsonaro himself will also shift his focus to other priorities, such as the creation of a new political party (his ninth) to compete in the October local elections. However, the business environment is likely to improve due to executive-led initiatives that do not require legislative approval, such as privatisations, trade liberalisation and measures to reduce red tape. Crime rates are likely to remain on a downward trend, particularly homicides, but the widespread presence of organised criminal groups will continue to make for a challenging security situation for businesses, including risks associated with cargo theft. While the threat of social unrest will remain latent, groups with the capacity to stage large demonstrations remain squarely divided between opposing sides of the political spectrum.
On the external front, the Bolsonaro administration will maintain a confrontational style in global fora, moving away from multilateralism and focusing on strengthening ties with a smaller set of international allies, including US President Donald Trump. A (likely) rise in deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon would put the government's controversial environmental policy in the global spotlight – again – and risk damaging Brazil's pursuit of new trade agreements, including the EU-Mercosur deal. Lastly, watch out for the evolution of bilateral ties with Buenos Aires. Bolsonaro's relationship with Argentine president Alberto Fernández started off on the wrong foot, with nasty verbal confrontation between them. A high degree of economic interdependence between the two largest Mercosur members makes a complete divorce unlikely – for now – but it could force the downgrading of the customs union (to a Free Trade Agreement) if gridlock over trade policy persists.

New Short "Paper and I" Now Available!
Mike, Kevin and Bill have never had a conversation with a paper bag, unless you count the ones containing giant bottles of MD 20/20.
Any issues with the RiffTrax main page should be directed to support@rifftrax.com Attempts to engage with me directly about such matters will result in ridicule.
Re: New Short "Paper and I" Now Available!
HA! FINALLY. I loved this one. I cant wait lol.
No Springy the Spring Sprite jokes? Really? How do you miss something like this?
Yeah, same voice, sorta same premise (but with paper!)... I guess it's a "RiffTrax is not MST3K 2.0" thing?
They've done the "no springs" line in other riffs, so I don't think that's the reason.
The new high res mp4 files are great, now I don't have to convert the mpg myself for my appleTV.
Anyone get an error when trying to download this?
I only got 270 bytes then the download would quit. I kept trying and eventually got the entire file.
"I get bored easily. I've been bored most of my life."
Any download I tired kept sending to me some-sort-of script error page or something, I tried other files to see if it was just the bag short that was acting up or a wider problem. Tried two different browsers, kept getting an error page, but it seems to have been 'fixed" as everything seems to be working fine now.
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars.
That was an Amazon S3 issue that got fixed in around 15 minutes.
dear lord that was hilarious..
The part where we're shown the different steps to how wood is turned into paper just about gave me a heart attack from laughing so much. I didn't even hear what the guys were saying because that part of the video in and of itself was so funny.
I won't go into specifics, lest I spoil it, but I will say that it makes me REALLY wish these same producers made a similar short explaining how cows become hamburger.
I used to have an image here, but Photobucket got cheap about remote linking. I guess I'll have to think of something witty instead. Which I will. Later. It caught me by surprise, in all honesty. It's hard to be clever on command, I mean, YOU try it. Be funny: NOW! See, tough. So, gimme a bit, 'kay?

Podmore commits future to Kent
Written by Andrew Bruce
Monday, 05 November 2018 11:00
Kent Cricket have announced that pace bowler Harry Podmore has signed a contract extension until the end of the 2021 season.
The 24-year-old, who joined Kent from Middlesex in April, impressed in his first season with us, taking 43 wickets at an average of 23.30 in Kent's successful Specsavers County Championship promotion campaign.
Podmore also recorded career-best bowling figures of 6-64 against his former side at The Spitfire Ground, St. Lawrence and also scored the winning boundary against Worcestershire to take Kent to their first One Day Cup final appearance at Lord's for 10 years.
Speaking about his new deal, Podmore said: "It's been a dream first season for me at Kent, I've felt at home right from the word go.
"Everyone was very welcoming to me and I feel part of a special group here at The Spitfire Ground. This is just the beginning and we can build upon Kent Cricket's rich history with this talented group of players that are hungry for success."
Director of Cricket Paul Downton is thrilled to see Podmore commit himself to the club and said: "Harry has fitted into the squad brilliantly both on and off the pitch.
"His capabilities with both bat and ball are there for all to see, so we're delighted that he's signed an extension.
"We're really looking forward to seeing him develop even further over the coming years – there are exciting times ahead for this group."

47-Year-Old Cameron Diaz Welcomes First Child And The Internet Is A Little Confused
Yay! Cameron Diaz is a mom at age 47. But then, people are a bit flabbergasted about the situation of things. Why's that?
A star in love
Cameron Diaz and her husband are one of the most private couples in Hollywood. The beautiful actress is married to Benji Madden who's 7 years younger than she is. Benji is a handsome man and a talented singer so we can kind of see how Cameron fell had for him.
According to TheSun, Cameron and Benji met for the first time in 2014 and were engaged in a matter of months. Then they got married in 2015. Clearly, they knew pretty early on in their relationship that they were meant to be together.
In an interview with InStyle, the actress opened up about how she knew Benji was the one. She said that even if she wasn't sure about marriage at the time they tied the knot, she was positive that her man was very special.
He's just a good man... It's really refreshing.
A sweet new baby
On January 4th, 2020, Cameron made a pretty big announcement on social media. She posted a statement on Instagram where she revealed that she and Benji are now parents to a baby girl named Raddix.
The proud mom gushed about how her child "captured" their hearts and said that the baby is "really really cute!!" But if you're hoping to see sweet snapshots of the newborn anytime soon, you'll be disappointed.
In her statement, Cameron made it clear that she will not be posting updates or pictures of her daughter in order to protect the baby's privacy. She also turned off comments on the post to prevent people from sharing feedback.
Confused fans
A new baby is a pretty big news, and even more so when it comes to celebrities. So it makes sense that fans had plenty to say after the There's Something About Mary star announced her child's arrival.
However, one thing people kept pointing out was that Cameron was never seen with a baby bump and they wondered if she welcomed her child through adoption, surrogacy or other alternative means.
Her fans' confusion is pretty understandable considering that the official statement of her child's arrival didn't give any information about how it happened. And commenters feel positive the actress wasn't pregnant mainly due to her age and the insistence that they did not see any indication of a baby bump in recent photos.
The internet is making all kinds of speculations but, be that as it may, it's pretty obvious that Cameron and Benji are happy to be parents.
This is an interesting turnaround considering some of these things she previously said about the possibility of motherhood.
In 2009, she told Cosmo she believed more women were opting not to have kids which she considered to be a good idea. However, she couldn't say for sure if that was in the plans for her.
A year later, she told InStyle that she felt children weren't the only way to have a fulfilled life and being a mom would drastically change her life.
In 2012, she implied that she could very well decide to adopt. In other words, anything could happen.
Then to Marie Claire in October 2014, she was quoted as saying "if a family happens, then it happens," while discussing the possibility of having children.
Many of the actress' past opinions implied that having kids was not a necessity but she did not deny the possibility. And now that she's a mom, it's obvious that she feels she made the right choice.
Considering how big of a star she is, it makes sense that people are very curious about Cameron's baby. And even though the actress won't be bombarding us with shot after shot of her child, we're still glad to know she's a mom. It doesn't really matter how her baby came into her life. All that matters is that she's happy, healthy, and positive. She's a private woman and fans respect her for that.

Monday, December 9, 2019 | Pastor's Blog
'Tis the season of giving .. and of giving thanks.
I'm often amazed at the generosity of people in this congregation. You give so much to this community in terms of your time and resources. A few examples come to mind:
Kathy Norris has volunteered as the Y Wonders choir director for years. The Y Wonders is part of the older adults program at the Hurley YMCA. They rehearse every Monday and host several concerts throughout the year. What a great way to share her gifts of music and leadership. Thanks, Kathy!
Jonathan Williams was elected mayor of Spencer, NC this past November. Jonathan has enough going on in his life at this point — dad of 3 (including a newborn) and managing some significant engineering projects in Winston and Charlotte. But his passion for Spencer runs deep, and he's eager to help out in whatever way he can. Thanks, Jonathan!
Amy Ritchie was recently honored by Meals on Wheels for their annual President's Award. Amy has been a volunteer extraordinaire for MOW for years, which makes this award all the more fitting. Thanks, Amy!
Archie Dees, a senior at Salisbury High School, has always had a passion for the Brenner Children's Hospital in Winston-Salem. That's no surprise since he spent his first six weeks at the hospital doing his best to survive. Archie gave a big "thank you" to the hospital and staff through a fundraiser he sponsored on November 23. Through his efforts, $28,000 was raised for Brenner and the children's hospital at UNC. Thanks, Archie!
Angela Graham makes herself available for any- and everything at the Community Care Clinic. She arrives each week for 3-4 hours and simply says, "What can I help with today?" What a gift. Thanks, Angela!
Mike Jacobson had a long career with the railroad. When he retired, he became even more active mentoring kids at Faith Elementary School, spending several days a week at the school helping teachers and providing 1×1 help with kids who need the extra attention. The principal recently said, "I don't know what we'd do without Mike." What a gift he's giving those kids. Thanks, Mike!
These are just a few of the many different ways you give of your time and resources for the sake of the common good. There's no way I could list everyone's contribution, but please accept this thank you on behalf of St. John's and the wider community.
Mohammed Ali once said that "volunteering is the rent we pay for living on this earth." I couldn't agree more. It's also a beautiful way of saying thank you — thank you to the community, to those who have gone before us, and to the many different agencies and churches that make our community a special place.
And, yes, it's good stewardship in action. We often say that stewardship is everything we do after we say "I believe." What we do matters. How we care for this community matters. How we volunteer our time and share our resources matters. The selfless ways you reach beyond yourself for the sake of others matters.
So thank you! As we give thanks during this wonderful time of year, know that we give thanks for you, too. Thanks so much for your partnership in the garden!

Dr. Fate
In the 1940s comics that first featured Dr. Fate, his parents were a Swedish archaeologist and his spiritualist wife. In a larger, pop culture sense, however, he was the child of Helena Blavatsky and Howard Carter.
Like all the early heroes, he distilled elements that were floating around in the culture already. Both archaeology and spiritualism had their roots in the mid-1800s. Archaeology grew out of the attempt to trace the history of Biblical events, and to establish just how much of the actual narratives could be confirmed by outside evidence.
The Background, and Origin
In the wake of the post-Darwinian consensus that the world was much older than previously believed, the discoveries from Babylon and Assyria helped to fill in the blanks.
Spiritualism was popular as a rebellion against what people saw as the soulessness of the new, post-Darwinian cosmos. The high death tolls of World War I and the influenza epidemic that followed boosted its popularity. Spiritualists talked to the dead, and many found consolation in this. There were even spiritualist churches.
The followers of Blavatsky, on the other hand, saw talking to the dead as a waste of time – they were focused on what they saw as an "ancient mystery religion" handed down through the ages, which could give great power and wisdom to its adepts.
This religion was called Theosophy. Rather than seek to converse with the dead, Theosophists sought contact with "ascended masters" – adepts who passed on their wisdom from the afterlife. Kent Nelson, as we shall see, could be seen as an extremely successful Theosophist.
Ancient civilizations were thus given a new gloss. Far from being dead and gone, they held historical and mystical secrets that could be revealed to the seeker. (Failing wisdom, one could always hope for treasure.) Discoveries like Tutankhamun's tomb and the excavations at Ur1 gave archaeology glamour in the public mind.
Promotional artwork for Countdown to Mystery #1 (Nov. 2007), featuring Kent V. Nelson as Doctor Fate. Cover art by Justiniano.
So Kent Nelson/Dr. Fate's parents made perfect sense. They also adhered to the rule of superhero parents, and died while he was still young. Unusually, however, they died separately: his mother died soon after his birth, while his father died when he was twelve, from a version of the Mummy's Curse.
Sven Nelson fell victim to a booby-trap set by the ancient Egyptians when he freed the sorcerer Nabu from his tomb. (Although Nabu is the name of a Sumero-Babylonian god, this Nabu is Egyptian.) His son, Kent Nelson, did not die, and Nabu then offered to teach Kent (then 12) his magical wisdom. The grieving boy refused.
Nabu then erased his memories of his father, and Kent Nelson's magical tuition began. (Nabu might have been wise in magic, but he was not a nice man.)
When Kent had grown to manhood, Nabu also gave him magical objects: the helm of Thoth and amulet of Anubis. That Kent got his powers from a magician, rather than a god, is also a Theosophist touch.
For his first mission Nelson rescued Inza Cramer, who later settled down with him in his Tower of Fate (a sort of reverse Batcave) in Salem, Massachusetts.
As you can see, Fate's origin is a combination of Shazam's and Green Lantern's: the orphan boy, the magical powers, the powerful object. Also, Nabu turned out to be not just a sorcerer, but one of the Lords of Order, who maintain the universe. (Like the Guardians of Oa in the Green Lantern comics.)
Magical Superheroes
Dr. Fate was one of the mystical superheroes: Shazam, The Spectre, Dr. Strange and many more. While many heroes either had no powers, or else had ones that could be explained in some pseudo-scientific way, these heroes simply bypassed all that and went straight for magic.
It makes sense that The Spectre, the living embodiment of God's vengeance, often teamed up with Dr. Fate. They were two extremely powerful beings, even if they came from rather different mythos. The two were also founding members of the Justice Society, the first super-hero team. (The Justice Society was a 1940s group – the Justice League was the new, 1960s, version.)
There he would meet another character influenced by the interest in all things Egyptian: Hawkman. (Since Carter Hall was an archaeologist himself, they must have had some interesting discussions.)
Inza Cramer/Nelson
Kent Nelson, as I mentioned above, rescued a woman named Inza Cramer early in his career as Dr. Fate. She moved into the Tower of Fate with him, and his magic kept both of them young. She came to resent what she saw as imprisonment in the Tower, and the way the helmet possessed her husband.
Later, in the 1990s comics, Inza actually became Dr. Fate, in a major plot twist. At first she became Dr. Fate all by herself, but eventually she learned that she and Kent Nelson were supposed to merge to become the super-hero, and that the Lords of Order had always meant Dr. Fate to be a man and a woman. This gave an interesting gender twist to an old comic character.
New 52 and Khalid Nassour
In June 2015 DC relaunched Dr. Fate as part of its new, rebooted, universe, this time as a medical student named Khalid Nassour, whose father immigrated to the US from Egypt.
The story is that the ancient Egyptian gods Anubis and Bastet are at war over the fate of the Earth, with Anubis wanting to flood it and start over, while Bastet wants to save humanity, recruiting Khalid to help her.
This can seem a bit weird in the comic, since it looks like a magical fight between a cat and a dog. However, Anubis was a god of the afterworld, guiding and judging souls, while Bastet was a protective goddess with a joyful approach to life, so their conflict makes some kind of sense. (They had a very different relationship in Egyptian myth.)
This should become more significant in future issues, as Khalid "dies" and he and Anubis journey through the Egyptian afterworld. Up until now the story has been about Khalid trying to come to terms with the powers given him by the helm of Nabu, and how it has changed his life. This should take him into the cosmic, magical realms that are Dr. Fate's home turf.
While Hawkman is going to be part of the new DC universe on TV, no mention has been made of Dr. Fate. He did have a small part in the Smallville show back in the 90s, so perhaps as time goes on…
1. One of the archaeologists accompanying Leonard Woolley at Ur was Max Mallowan, the second husband of Agatha Christie. Her travels in the Middle East inspired several of her detective novels, including Death on the Nile and Murder in Mesopotamia. (They actually met at the Ur site.)↩

Nice post – I haven't seen heroes like Dr. Fate put in the context of historical mysticism this way before, but it makes a lot of sense.
solsdottir Post author January 5, 2016 at 9:30 am
Thanks – it's hard to find something new to say about heroes, but I was intrigued by Fates's backstory.
Faye January 6, 2016 at 5:07 pm
Historical mysticism is a new concept for me. I find the image intriguing. My own reality of God the Holy Spirit as Divine from beginning to end ie (no matter how old the earth actually is) somehow anchors me so mysticism from ages past is 'extra' fascinating. Heroes always inspire thoughts. Thank you.

PNIŠK ili Prvi nogometni i športski klub je bio nogometni klub.

Osnovan je u Zagrebu u ljeto 1903. godine. Nije sa sigurnošću utvrđeno je li riječ Zagreb bila uz PNIŠK sastavni dio imena kluba ili tek oznaka mjesta. Prvi predsjednik je bio Vilim Witte, a tajnik Dragutin Baki. Najbolji igrač, kapetan i trener bio je bivši igrač praške Slavije, Jan Todl. U prvim godinama djelovanja kluba u momčadi su nastupali Baki, Vertesy, Ugrinić, Filipić, Kiseljak, Slavinić, Berger, Mutafelija, Uhrl, Todl, Topolčić, Schwartz, Levak, Svečenski i Drndarski. Neki od njih sudjelovali su u osnivanju Concordije i Građanskog.

Prvi javni susret s HAŠK-om odigran je 1906. Tri igrača PNIŠK-a nastupilo je uz osam igrača HAŠK-a 1907. u Pragu protiv Slavije u prvoj neslužbenoj utakmici reprezentacije Hrvatske. PNIŠK prestaje djelovati 1909. Kada je 1911. osnovan Građanski, pristupaju mu mnogi bivši igrači PNIŠK-a.

Naziv kluba
PNIŠK je bio prvi osnovani klub u Hrvatskoj koji je u svom imenu naglasio opredjeljenost za nogomet. Povjesničari športa do danas nisu razjasnili da li je klub nosio ime Zagreb. Klub je najvjerojatnije prilikom osnivanja nosio naziv grada, a tek 1905. godine je prilikom slanja svojih pravila na odobrenje nadležnim vlastima izostavio ime Zagreb. 1908. godine promijenio je naziv u Prvi hrvatski nogometni i športski klub (PHNIŠK).

Stadion
1894. sagrađen je 500-metarski velodrom na današnjoj Koturaškoj ulici u Zagrebu i bio je namijenjen korištenju Prvog hrvatskog biciklističkog društva. U međuvremenu zapušten velodrom preuzeo je 1907. PNIŠK. Pretvorili su ga u višenamjensko športsko igralište s nogometnim terenom u centru. Biciklistička traka oko terena pretvorena je u 500-metarsku atletsku stazu, prvu te vrste u Zagrebu. Korišten je za povremene utakmice između PNIŠK-a i HAŠK-a. Nakon što je PNIŠK ugašen 1909. stadion je napušten.

Zanimljivo
PNIŠK je svoje prve utakmice odigrao izvan domovine.

Značajnije utakmice
 1. listopada 1905. Budimpešta: FTC – PNIŠK 11:1
 15. listopada 1905. Kapošvar: Kaposvári A.C. – PNIŠK 9:1
 3. prosinca 1905. Rijeka: Club Atletico – PNIŠK 3:4
 28. listopada 1906.: Zagreb: HAŠK – PNIŠK 1:1
 21. lipnja 1908. Zagreb: PNIŠK – Velebit (Sušak) 8:1

It seems to me that of our five senses (sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing) the one that gets the most abuse is hearing. I suppose we sometimes mistreat our eyes by reading in too dim a light or by peeling onions but generally we take pretty good care of them – unless we attend some social event or concert with those flashing strobes that torment both the eyes and the brain.
As for smell, taste, and touch about the only time these senses suffer is when we encounter a situation where they detect something disagreeable or obnoxious – such as when we encounter the scent of a skunk out in the country, accidentally taste an extremely spicy food, or come in contact with a slippery, slimy, yucky object. Our sense of hearing, however, is constantly being assaulted by others and by ourselves.
The reason this subject is bubbling up in my head now is because of what happened recently while we were spending a few days at our travel trailer – which we decided some years ago to permanently park at an "RV resort" in the north central part of our state. This facility, which is in a very rural area, started out some sixty or more years ago as a place where folks could swim and fish in a small lake – and have picnics or camp overnight. Through the years the enterprise has grown until today it provides a number of sites for folks like us who use their travel trailers/campers as seasonal getaways as well as for those who stay there all summer. Many folks like us have built decks, sheds, planted flower beds and some shoreline sites even constructed docks to personalized their facilities.
OK, so what does this have to do with the subject of hearing? Well, on our last trip there I was sitting on our deck reading when I realized something unusual. I asked my Sweetheart-for-Life who was inside the trailer to come out on the deck.
When she did I asked her, "Do you hear that?" She replied, "I don't hear anything. What should I be listening for?" I told her, "That's the point. What we're hearing is silence." Yep, there were no traffic noises, no TV or radio, no music from someone's speakers – nothing to assault our ears. What we were experiencing was silence – blessed silence – an increasingly rare circumstance these days.
Today's society appears to abhor, really hate, silence. Perhaps that's why one of the first things we do when coming home is to turn on the TV even though we have no intention of watching it – and we keep it on just to have some sound in our lives. The same concept is likely why we see folks walking around with little pods stuck in their ears – gotta have sound. One thing about those ear pods – they are not as intrusive as those boom boxes young people used to carry around blasting everyone's ears. On the other hand, didja ever find yourself sitting at a stoplight when another vehicle pulled up with the music so loud you couldn't hold a conversation inside your own car? What must it be like in the other car?
Some people insist on imposing their need for sound on others, probably without realizing it. The other morning when I was having my start-of-the-day swim the pool was relatively quiet with only the splashing sounds made by the swimmers.
After a while, however, the lifeguard turned on a rather loud radio station which emitted unintelligible talk interspersed with what sounded like someone screaming over a background of drums. You know, the hard walls of the swimming pool area are probably among the worst possible venues for sound distortion, but the lifeguard's need for noise was apparently satisfied. Sure makes a body consider using ear plugs or cotton balls – not to keep pool water out but to deaden the noise.
Since that little incident at our trailer I have been actively trying to reduce extraneous noise in my life – such as turning off the TV when I'm not watching. I do the same with the radio – but with the radio I can listen while doing something else such as household or gardening chores. I have also been actively seeking times of relative silence – intervals when my sense of hearing is not being besieged by superfluous sounds. Guess what? There are such times with some occurring naturally but most must be created by eliminating those unnecessary sounds we surround ourselves with every day – but you hafta actively seek them out.
One of the difficulties we have with accepting silence as part of our lives is the uneasy feeling that the lack of sounds is somehow unnatural. That idea might be something to ponder sometime when you're not distracted by the noise, the clamor, the din, the racket, of daily living – that is, during a time of blessed silence. At least that's how it seems to me.

For much of 2009, I worked closely with talented director João Amorim and a wonderful team of student animators to create fifteen minutes of illustrated animation for the documentary feature film 2012:Time for Change. To create the wonderful little world within the film, I illustrated hundreds of elements, designed numerous environments, and worked extensively with character designer Isam Prado. Inspired by ideas of psyche exploration and spiritual evolution, the narrative sequences we created help present optimistic constructive approaches to transform our unsustainable society into a regenerative planetary culture.
The experience was an incredibly challenging opportunity to blend delightful visual imagery with profound themes of transformative consciousness and the systemic implementation of ecological design, all woven together to create an entertaining story. You can view more of the imagery for the film on my flickr page and several of these charming little animations can be seen here.
2012:Time for Change premiered at the San Francisco Greenfest, was screened nation-wide, and featured in many festivals around the world. It has been released on DVD and is available On Demand and Netflix. The film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, author of the bestselling 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with the scientific method. Appearances include Sting, David Lynch, Gilberto Gil, Terence McKenna, Ellen Page, and Barbara Marx Hubbard.

Grammy award-winning American singer Erykah Badu is slated to perform in Nairobi, Kenya on December 11. Tickets will cost Kshs 4,000 (~$47) for regular and Kshs 7,500 (~$88) for VIP entries.
Last month there was a bit of debate about the reception of international concert stars who perform in Nairobi. @KenyanPoet wrote about the live concert business and the value Kenyans give it noting that, while the James Ingram concert in Nairobi attracted 500 fans, a Rick Ross concert in Tanzania attracted 22,000 fans, and Konshens in Uganda drew 25,000 fans.
The taxes: Immigration, Kenya Revenue, Lands Office, Environment office, Security, Information – everyone (at) these Ministries want a piece.
The Kenyan government then requires the promoter to show a contract between artist & promoter. They take 10% of that fee, and this must be paid in advance.
The promoter must then pay Immigration for special work permits. That's 25,000 (~$295) per member of an entourage – paid in advance.
The promoter must then print the tickets and go back to KRA to stamp them. They also tax 10% of the ticket.
After paying all these, the promoter must comply with environmental law and pay that noise tax…..I know you already have a headache and promoter hasn't even paid for the venue which is hectic. Then security, publicity, transportation…by the time any sane person has paid taxes worth their whole investment, some of you will already be retired. So don't blame promoters.
Finally – The promoter who brought Sean Paul and Wayne Wonder ran outta business. Losses galore.
We trust that the promoters of the Erykah Badu concert won't go out of business..or incur a loss. Her concert is sponsored by giant brewer East African Breweries' @TuskerLite brand. She's a world-famous artiste who has toured extensively and has a strong track record of award-winning songs like Window Seat, On&On and Tyrone – and the promoters should come out ahead if marketed right. Still, it should be easier to bring more international acts to Kenya.
EDIT: Apparently, promoters of other US stars including Keri Hilson and Chris Brown are also scheduling concerts for December 2012 in Kenya.
