Silence over the (interposed) tones of the music.
Each prélude is its own world, building a cyclic network. Building up to a tableau vivant.
The caesuras between the préludes are clearly defined rests. The live balance is preserved.
A continuous, minute differentiation in the playing. Exploring the musical structure, restructuring. Opening modes of listening that may strike new resonances in the audience.
…Cecilia Li's interpretation of the 12 Préludes pour piano, Book II by Claude Debussy shows clearly that she is entirely at home with Debussy's world. She develops an impressively rich array of nuances, makes ample use of differences in shades of sounds and awes the audience with the brilliance of her artistry. I consider this recording one of the best interpretations that I know.

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 23: First lady Melania Trump attends a meeting of the President's Task Force on Protecting Native American Children in the Indian Health System in the State Dining Room of the White House on July 23, 2020 in Washington, DC. The Task Force is charged with investigating breakdowns that failed to prevent a predatory pediatrician from sexually assaulting children while working as a doctor in the Indian Health Service.

First lady Melania Trump has broken her silence on the Capitol insurrection incited by her husband in a letter posted on the White House website early Monday morning in which she lashes out at her critics and then condemns the violence.
(CNN)First lady Melania Trump has broken her silence on the Capitol insurrection incited by her husband in a letter posted on the White House website early Monday morning in which she lashes out at her critics and then condemns the violence.
"I am disappointed and disheartened with what happened last week," the first lady, whose "Be Best" platform centers on civility and kindness, said in the post.
The post marks Trump's first public statement since her husband incited mobs of supporters to storm the US Capitol.
During the attack, she was overseeing a photo shoot at the White House featuring "rugs and other items," per a person familiar.
Trump then condemned the events of last week: "Make no mistake about it, I absolutely condemn the violence that has occurred on our Nation's Capitol.
The first lady expressed condolences to the four Trump supporters killed during the attacks before going on to recognize the US Capitol Police officers who died in the line of duty.
While images of the mob breaking into the Capitol consumed the airwaves, the first lady was focused -- with the White House chief usher, Timothy Harleth -- on getting the shoot completed.
Both the media, including CNN, and members of her staff were asking if Trump had plans to tweet a statement of calm, or a call to stop the violence -- something she had done a handful of times months earlier during the protests surrounding the police killing of George Floyd.
Her disinterest in addressing the country was indicative of being "checked out," said another White House source, who added, "she just isn't in a place mentally or emotionally anymore where she wants to get involved. "
Later Wednesday evening, two of the first lady's top aides, chief of staff Stephanie Grisham -- who also served as Trump's closest adviser, speechwriter and spokesperson -- and Anna Cristina "Rickie" Niceta, White House social secretary, submitted their resignations effective immediately.

In the second part of our bitcoin betting guide to the round of 16 in the 2018 World Cup, we look at the final matches.
Will Japan pull off a shock against Belgium?
Is Sweden on borrowed time against Switzerland?
Are the goals going to flow in England v Colombia?
Monday's second round matches could bring us one of the biggest shocks of the tournament. Brazil are the favourites to progress to the World Cup semi-final by beating both Mexico and Belgium, but there game against American opposition is by no means a foregone conclusion. In our world cup bitcoin betting guide, we take a deeper look into the tactics that we'll likely see.
Germany's 1-0 defeat to a ruthless Mexico side shows just what could happen to Brazil if they don't show up, or, more likely, if the pressure gets to them. The Brazilians have looked nervous throughout the group stage: is this the moment they collapse? Find out in the second part of our Round of 16 preview.
Most pundits were shaking their heads at Brazil's inability to play with dynamism or traditional Brazilian flair in their three group games at the 2018 World Cup, but to do so is to misunderstand how tournament football works. Most World Cup winners start slowly, grind their way through the group unscathed, and gradually build momentum. Brazil are doing just fine.
That's not to say they will definitely win their last-16 game against Mexico. The Central American side have been a Jekyll and Hyde team so far in Russia, but that is partly because their preferred method – to sit deep and hit opponents on the counter – works most effectively against big nations like Germany. This match will go right to the wire.
Brazil will no doubt be allowed to dominate possession as Mexico look to draw their opponents forward.
The 1-0 win over Germany is a perfect example of how Juan Carlos Osorio will approach this game, and so once again Mexico will leave three players up front from Brazil set-pieces, showing great bravery in surging forward. Javier Hernandez, Hirving Lozano, and Carlos Vela will be crucial players in this one.
Tite's side could do with a little more swagger, although their 4-3-3 formation is helping get the best out of Neymar – indirectly, that is. All the focus on the Paris Saint-Germain star has allowed Philippe Coutinho to go under the radar, both psychologically (he is better when not under pressure to lead a team) and tactically; he can burst into pockets of space left open by opposition players drawn towards Neymar.
The most important decision to be made on Monday is whether to start Paulinho, who underwhelmed against Serbia, or Fernandinho, the Manchester City defensive midfielder that could help stamp out Mexico's counter-attacks. Tite is unlikely to go for the latter, which hands Mexico an advantage - as does Marcelo's injury update.
The Real Madrid left-back is likely to be passed fit to play, which means there will be space in behind on this flank for one of those ruthless Mexican counter-attacks. Opinion is split in Brazil over the efficacy of right-winger Willian, who works hard tracking back but hasn't quite found his range in a creative sense. His personal battle on that flank with Jesus Gallardo – excellent against Germany but poor against Sweden – should be a fascinating one.
Belgium are one of just three nations to have won all of their group games, which should have filled the camp with confidence as the knockout rounds get underway. However, like England, they haven't really been tested yet and remain an unknown entity. Easy wins against Panama and Tunisia were followed up with a nothing game against England in which two B-teams played out the most pointless match in World Cup history.
Japan have overachieved by getting out of Group G, with few expecting them to get even a single point from that tough group.
Their cautious 1-0 defeat to Poland in the final group game showed they are one of the weakest nations left in the competition, although there is clearly a lot of fight in this group of players. Anything but an easy win for Belgium will come as a huge shock.
Roberto Martinez's side entered the tournament as dark horses but with one major caveat: that his defence is too leaky to go all the way. Fortunately for the Belgians, their poor defending is unlikely to be tested on Monday, with Japan set to play in a cagey, defensive 4-4-2 formation that tries desperately to limit the influence of Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard.
These two, playing as inside forwards in Belgium's 3-4-2-1, are very difficult to track and will look to dominate the space in central attacking midfield. Japan's formation means they might struggle to prevent both players from running riot.
Shinji Kagawa has been very disappointing so far, but the Borussia Dortmund midfielder could fancy his chances on the counter-attack against Belgium's flaky midfield. Alex Witsel tends to patrol in front of the back three alone, which should make for an interesting individual battle between those two. However, Martinez won't be too worried by anything Japan have shown in the competition so far.
Romelu Lukaku has already scored three goals in two World Cup games, showing once again that he is a clinical finisher against lower-ranking teams; the Manchester United forward will expect to get on the score sheet here, particularly having been rested for the England game.
On paper this is surely the least interesting match of the round of 16.
Sweden qualified ahead of Germany in Group F and were unfortunate not to win at least a point against the holders, while Switzerland showed their grit and determination by coming from a goal down to beat Serbia 2-1. The Swiss are ranked sixth in the world but will likely stutter against such a physical Sweden side. It'll be close.
Switzerland's 4-2-3-1 formation relies upon power, with Granit Xhaka and Valon Behrami providing clout at the base of midfield. They attack predominantly down the flanks via Xherdan Shaqiri and Steven Zuber, a Hoffenheim left winger who has been their standout player so far. Although Switzerland's simplified tactical approach and relative strength in midfield has served them well so far, they are much better at grinding out results against more dominant nations (such as in the 1-1 draw with Brazil) than when expected to play on the front foot.
This could prove problematic when the face Sweden on Tuesday.
The Swedes have the most direct, route-one tactical strategy in the competition.
They punt long balls up to the two tall strikers Marcus Berg and Ola Toivonen in the hope of scoring set-piece goals. We can expect a highly physical battle in Saint Petersburg in which quality, and goals, will be hard to come by.
Switzerland have struggled to create chances so far in Russia and their first-choice striker, Haris Seferovic, is yet to find the net. This problem is likely to continue against a sturdy Sweden defence (Andreas Granqvist has particularly impressed) unless they can score from outside the box. Shaqiri's long-range threat is worth looking out for.
Sweden like to pepper the box with corners and freekicks, and so Switzerland must ensure they keep fouling to a minimum. Mexico were hit on the counter far too often, leading to numerous corners, chances, and goals in their 3-0 defeat to the Swedes.
England are yet to really impress at the 2018 World Cup despite the optimism in the camp. They were confident against Tunisia, although the African nation's subsequent performances suggest this wasn't much of an achievement, while absolutely nothing can be learned from the Panama or Belgium games. There is simply no way of knowing whether England are capable of going all the way or not.
Colombia have been hit and miss so far, impressing in short burst but clearly toiling in all three of their group matches against Poland, Japan, and Senegal. Then again, they played 84 minutes with ten men in the defeat to Japan and beat the other two with clean sheets. England v Colombia is a mystery.
The England team is mostly known, although Southgate has a difficult choice to make between Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Dele Alli, the latter having failed to make an impact so far. Raheem Sterling has also made a slow start, although Marcus Rashford didn't take his chance against Belgium. England will play in the same 3-5-2 shape as usual, dominating possession and looking to Harry Kane – or set-pieces – for goals.
Keep an eye on the battle between Kieran Trippier and left-back Johan Mojica.
Colombia's 4-2-3-1 is settled in attack, but their two-man midfield is a bit of a mess. Manager Jose Pekerman has deployed a different partnership in every match, using five players out of a possible maximum of six. England's use of two false-eights could cause havoc in this area, particularly if Jesse Lingard is as incisive as he was against Tunisia and Panama.
England might struggle to prevent counter-attacks, largely because Jordan Henderson is alone at the base of midfield and is not particularly good at screening a defence. This is particularly worrying because Juan Quintero has been superb so far from central attacking midfield, creating numerous chances for the wider attackers James Rodriguez and Juan Cuadrado. Southgate might need to play Eric Dier alongside Henderson to cope with this threat.
At the other end, Davinson Sanchez knows all about his Tottenham Hotspur team-mate Harry Kane, while significant height in the Colombian ranks may limit England's effectiveness at set-pieces.
Trippier has completed more crosses (4.5 per match) than any other player at the World Cup, while Mojica struggled to contain Sadio Mane in the 1-0 defeat of Senegal.

MAVCOM's Role in RAS
Industry / Introduction
The Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) was established on 1 March 2016 under the Malaysian Aviation Commission Act 2015 (Act 771), to function as an independent economic regulator for the civil aviation industry in Malaysia.
MAVCOM is responsible for the regulation of economic and commercial matters within the civil aviation industry. Its responsibilities include the issuance of Air Services Licences (ASL) for journeys with a fixed schedule, such as for timetabled commercial flights and Air Service Permits (ASP) for non-scheduled services, such as for chartered flights. The Commission also issues out Aerodrome Operator Licences (AOL) for airport operators and Ground Handling Licences (GHL) to those who wish to carry out ground handling services in Malaysia.
Its responsibilities also cover the administration and allocation of air traffic rights to airlines based on the available capacity of each route and the approval of schedule filing.
MAVCOM is also empowered to administer and manage public service obligation routes. In Malaysia, the principal example is the Rural Air Services which connect remote, sparsely populated, or otherwise inaccessible parts of Malaysia with the rest of the country.
These responsibilities are reflected in the main objectives and functions of the Commission, as laid out in Section 17 of Act 771, which are to:
regulate economic matters relating to the civil aviation industry in Malaysia;
provide a mechanism for protection of consumers in the civil aviation industry in Malaysia;
provide a mechanism for dispute resolution between aviation industry players;
administer and manage air traffic rights;
monitor slot allocation for airlines or other aircraft operators;
administer and manage routes under public service obligations, including the provision of advice to the Ministry of Transport with regard to policies for public service obligations;
facilitate and co-ordinate matters of interest to the Malaysian civil aviation industry between aviation service providers and government agencies; and
perform any other function necessary to any of the functions above.

US Assistance to Global Health Programs: The Battle Continues
Anushay Hossain | June 30, 2011
UNFPA, the only UN Agency Dealing With Family Planning, Was Targeted to Lose All Funding. Image Credit: Photo of woman receiving UNFPA family hygiene kit from Flickr user Sardovaya Sri Lanka.
The recent hostile budget process targeted women's health programs globally as much as it did domestically. International family planning was targeted for a 40% cut and UNFPA funding eliminated in the House majority proposals alongside a total elimination of Title X and Planned Parenthood funding.
The final amount approved for FY 2011 by Congress for IRH/FP was cut to $615 million, just a 5% cut from FY 2010 and included $40 million for UNFPA reduced from $55 in 2010.
But the battle continues. Despite the cuts, this can still be considered a victory considering the strong opposition forces advocating draconian cuts and elimination of all UNFPA funding.
Now the advocacy of the International Family Planning Coalition in Washington is more important than ever, and policymakers and reproductive health and rights groups are not wasting any time to protect international family planning funding for FY 2012.
Senator Barbara Boxer got the ball rolling by circulating a "Dear Colleague" letter to both the Senate and House Chairmen on the Committee on Appropriations, the Honorable Lindsey Graham and Patrick Leahy, urging them to increase US assistance to critical programs on international reproductive health and rights:
…As you prepare the Fiscal Year 2012 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations bill, we respectfully request that you fund international family planning and reproductive health programs at least at $769 million, including $47.5 million for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
Boxer's letter, signed by 17 US Senators including two appropriators, not only described the importance and benefits of the US maintaining its position as a leader in global health, but stipulated the funding should be increased to the above levels "without imposing any new restrictions."
Along with international family planning funding, it appears as though the US may also finally be making much needed changes to PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the largest US global health program.
According to an ACLU blog post entitled, "God Will Protect You From Sexual Temptation…Or Not," after years of promoting abstinence-only messages, and advocating the ABC model (abstinence, be faithful, condoms as a last resort) in some of the world's poorest, and most highly infected African nations, the US may be on course to shift course:
…We recently met with USAID and asked them to stop funding religious abstinence-only-until-marriage programs overseas. They indicated that these programs are coming to a close later this year, and that they will instead focus on innovative strategies for combating HIV/AIDS.
It should be noted that the ACLU found out about the US Government's "misuse of funds" two years ago after reading the Inspector General of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) report:
…The Inspector General noted several instances of biblical references in government-funded curricula, and USAID itself admitted that some of the abstinence-only-until-marriage programs it funds "reflect a religious perspective and include religiously infused materials and religious references." One of the curricula includes an optional Biblical verse for "reflection or memorization," the purpose of which is to show students that "God has a plan for sex and this plan will help you and protect you from harm."
To find out more, the ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act, followed by a lawsuit.
I highly recommend reading the ACLU blog post detailing their experience and what they found. Let's hope that the State Department makes good on what they told the ACLU, that these programs are indeed going to stop this year. A global pandemic like HIV/AIDS needs real solutions that go beyond Biblical passages.
I think we can all say Amen to that.

Human Rights Language in the 1890s
posted by Ruth at EUP Journals April 12, 2016 4 min read1288 Views
By Anna Clark
It is widely assumed that the concept of human rights only emerged after 1945. However, I have found that the concept of human rights was deployed in Britain in the 1890s. For instance, in 1898 Hypatia Bradlaugh-Bonner criticized the depiction of native people as the 'so-called inferior races.' She moved that 'civilized nations' must recognize native people's right to use of land, to personal liberty and opinion, equal participation in social and political privileges, and 'enlightenment without compulsion, force or fraud.' Bradlaugh-Bonner herself embodied the dual origin of such notions of human rights in libertarian and socialist thought. She was the daughter of Charles Bradlaugh, the freethinker who advocated radical policies such as birth control but opposed socialism. But she made her declaration at a meeting of the Humanitarian League. founded by Henry Salt, a utopian socialist.
The notions of human rights in the 1890s owed much to the libertarian tradition, especially the activities of the Personal Rights Association. Josephine Butler founded this association together with followers of Herbert Spencer in order to defend the bodily integrity of prostitutes and other women against overweening government authority. In the 1890s, the Personal Rights Association also spoke out against what they saw as coercive medical authority. For instance, in 1896 Indian women and men in Bombay were subject to coercive public examinations for plague in the streets of Bombay. The Personal Rights Association (and Indian nationalists) denounced this as a violation of people's personal integrity and their rights as subjects of the British Empire.
Human rights language also came from some on the left. The Humanitarian League was centrally concerned with uniting a concern for the personal rights of individuals with a wider concern for rights in general, ranging from animal rights to the rights of workers and colonized people. Henry Salt declared that one should not only 'battle for the rights of others, especially in those cases where the weak are oppressed by the strong,' but one should also 'battle' for one's own rights,' for 'the man who knows best how to assert what is due to himself will also know best how to respect what is due to others.'
The concept of human rights, however, is multivalent. By 1898, advocates of war against the Boers in South Africa claimed that the British government would do a better job of protecting the human rights of black Africans against the oppressive Boers. Josephine Butler even deployed this language. And some black South Africans agreed, such as Sol Plaatje, who supported the war in the hope that the British would extend to black South Africans broader rights over land, representation, and education. He and his allies even depicted themselves as 'freeborn' British subjects, deserving of the rights of Englishmen. They were to be sorely disappointed after the war, when the British failed to live up to this promise. The concept of human rights could therefore be used both to oppose imperialism and to further its reach.
Anna Clark explores these themes further in her article "Humanitarianism, Human Rights and Biopolitics in the British Empire, 1890–1902," Britain and the World Volume 9, Issue 1 (March 2016).
Anna Clark is professor of history at the University of Minnesota and the author of Desire: A History of European Sexuality (2008); Scandal: the Sexual Politics of the British Constitution (2004) and The Struggle for the Breeches: Gender and the Making of the British Working Class (1995) among other books and articles. She is currently completing a book on "Secret Lives: Alternative Histories of the Self," and her new project is entitled "Rage against the Machine: Individuality in the British Empire."

Behind Red Doors – Signs, Process and the Political
Shakespeare's Questions


Is Higher Education Still Needed?
Just admit it, you've fantasized of escaping to the lovely Land of Down Under, where sun is practically endless, a museum with free entrance just around the corner, and yet another crispy clear beach stretches on the coastline. We've all been there – I mean, in the same fantasy, but what about leaving your comfort zone, actually getting the plane ticket and living a full year as an Aussie?
Fortunately, there are many fun, exciting and rewarding ways to achieve this endeavor, so let's take a look at a few Australia-perfect strategies to explore this wonderful continent, and yes, fall even more in love with its intact beauty during your stay.
Just when the winter blues starts to set in, you would be packing your bags and escaping the vicious cold all the way Down Under. Whether you're a culinary wizard that craves for more hands-on experience with some of the finest experts in the field, or you're looking to teach abroad, Australia offers a wide range of work and travel programs.
Some of them include tour guides, full accommodation and visa paperwork preparation, so that you can start getting ready hassle-free. It's best to apply via an accredited agency with previous experience and success, because these applications require investments that can range from $900 in fees and additional funds in your account to prove you can support yourself during your stay.
Of course, you'll get all the advice and guidance you need from the local agent and on site as well, so that your experience is as seamless as possible. From forwarding your mail, finding the right job, to nailing your visa application, they'll have you covered.
Traveling for a non-profit cause to Australia is another wonderful way to experience their culture, heritage and do your best to contribute to their efforts to protect the environment and their indigenous wildlife. There are numerous wildlife sanctuaries, rescue operations, organic farms, tree-planting programs, all of which are perfect for nature-lovers among you.
You will stay with the local folk, join in on their daily routine and gain invaluable experience in Australia's cultural background. Many of these volunteering programs also include perks such as free horse-riding, kayaking, free accommodation and local sightseeing tours. You'll also likely have field trips and regular access to major cities, including Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, but also some of Australia's most beautiful natural wonders, including the Great Barrier Reef, the Blue Mountains, and the Uluru-Kata Tjuta stone formations.
As a country that boasts a staggering number of international students, Australia has some of the best universities, coveted educational programs, and great benefits for their student visitors from abroad. This is particularly alluring for those who would prefer a more urban experienced located in some of Australia's cities, where you can apply for scholarships, and you will also be able to get a part-time job during your studies.
Before you go, make sure you look for student accommodation in Brisbane and other cities to see which option best suits your needs. Of course, you should budget for your studying and living costs in the area of your choice. Every university has different entry requirements and procedures, so it's essential to get acquainted with them before you make a final decision.
As an international volunteer, worker or student, you'll need to cover many expenses before you reach the sunny coast of Australia. From getting the right health insurance, ensuring ample financial support during your stay, covering the cost of airplane tickets, accommodation, and basic lifestyle needs, you'll see that the standard of living Down Under is very high, and the price is no different.
Since you're coming from a snow-covered north, you should brace yourself for an entirely different cultural setting. Aussies are known to be laid-back, friendly, welcoming and kind, and the climate is sizzling hot during summer, while they enjoy mild winters – but their seasons are flipped compared to ours, so if you are traveling during your winter, you will be greeted by their summer!

A Working-Class Clothing Brand in America Today
Brand feature: We live in an age where, for every picture of Chance the Rapper and his daughter sporting matching Carhartt overalls, there's a feature describing a neo-Nazi or everyman Trump voter wearing the jacket. Carhartt certainly can't control those who co-opt it for their own causes, but it's stood firm on one principle: Carhartt is for everybody. It's the kind of inclusive vision of the working class you would hope that America would have in 2017—the one that we need.
And speaking of American brands:
Combatant Gentlemen Has Some Angry, Suitless Customers
eCommerce: Combatant Gentlemen was founded on the idea that there was "a gaping hole in the affordable menswear market," according to a post Melwani wrote on Reddit in 2015. The brand touted itself as the "Warby Parker for suiting" and aimed to reduce customer costs by controlling everything from the supply chain to the sale and shipment of its products.
Rebuilding Consumer Packaged Goods From the Ground Up
eCommerce: Long time entrepreneur Tina Sharkey is on a mission to change that, and rethink CPG from the ground up. Her company Brandless launches today, but we had Sharkey at the NewCo Shift Forum back in February, where she gave an overview of her new company's purpose.
Shopify Opens the Ebay Channel to Merchants
eCommerce: The move adds another outlet for Shopify's roughly 400,000 users, though the EBay integration will be available initially only for U.S. customers selling in U.S. dollars, Shopify said in a statement. When Shopify signed a similar deal with Amazon.com Inc. in 2015, its stock surged as investors predicted a boost to revenue.

eCommerce: Fashion and apparel, meanwhile, remains a major growth opportunity for Amazon. Cowen & Co. analysts expect it to increase by 30 percent this year to $28 billion. Fashion as the next frontier
How Reebok Used Influencers to Compete
Brand: The running category hadn't been a priority for the Adidas-owned Reebok for around seven years. When Reebok planned to introduce Floatride — billed as its first lightweight, long-distance running shoe to feature a proprietary form of technology — the biggest challenge was to build credibility with runners, according to James Woolard, brand director for Reebok.
Snap's Lead IPO Underwriter Admits Fault

The Secret Weapon in the Closet of Professional Athletes
Brand: And if you're an athletic guy, you're more likely to find the Holy Grail than to find a dress shirt that's fits perfectly off the rack. These issues are things that that clothing companies, like Ministry of Supply, Vineyard Vines and even Under Armour, are finally starting to address.

Brandless to Test the Power of Brands
Brands: Brandless hopes its simple, one-price-for-every-product proposition will be another draw, much like the Dollar Shave Club, which upended the men's razor market when it introduced a subscription service costing $3, $6 or $9 a month. In a few cases, $3 buys multiple Brandless items, such as a two-pack of organic macaroni and cheese. Shipping is $9, or free for orders of $72 or more. People who pay a $36-a-year membership fee get free shipping on orders of $48 or more.
How Nike Plans To Fight Off The Competition
Brand: The final Flyknit bra, which launches today, is knit as a single layer of material. It has only two panels, in contrast to other high-support bras in the Nike arsenal, which are constructed from up to 41 pieces and 22 seams. This bra weighs only 73 grams, which is 30% less than any other bra within Nike's line.
How Farfetch Grew Into A Force
eCommerce: In 2016, Farfetch generated $800 million (£640m) in gross sales - up 70 per cent on 2015. A funding round in May 2016 raised $110 million, led by investors Temasek, IDG Capital Partners and Eurazeo - joining existing investor Vitruvian Partners in valuing Farfetch at $1.5 billion.
How Fashion Brands Are Cashing in On Southern Charm

LVMH's Approach Luxury eCommerce
eCommerce: One thing 24 Sèvres already has going for it is that it looks different than most shopping sites out there right now, thanks to big, beautiful imagery on the home and product pages. Goguey says this is meant to make you feel like you're window-shopping at high-end stores, whether it be in Paris or New York City. And, really, a well-designed site is the least you should expect when you're about to spend thousands of dollars on a handbag.
An Afternoon at the Mall With Some Teens
Retail Real Estate: West County Center is not a dying mall. Sure, everything might be on sale, but people are taking the bait. Lots of people. And at a time when malls are seeing a record number of store closures, West County has actually added tenants this year. The shopping center is both newish and not, having been built in 1969, then demolished in 2001 to make way for a nicer construction the following year. The $230 million-dollar project resulted in 1.2 million square feet of leasable space anchored by the high/low/medium mix of Nordstrom, J.C. Penney, and Macy's.
Fast Retailing Must Pick Up the Pace
Retail: The owner of Uniqlo, Theory and J Brand clothing ranges became the world's third-largest apparel maker by delving into fast fashion before it was even in style. It used a large bricks-and-mortar store network in Japan to trot out new looks ahead of competitors, and then exported that model around the world.

Michigan's Freedom of Information Act: Your Right to Know About Your Government
December 27, 2017 admin
"The information that is really helpful for the public to know often is really difficult to get."
Sandra Svoboda
State agencies and local governments in Michigan are required to provide records, with some exceptions, to members of the public when they ask for them, thanks to the state's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which turned 40 this year.
David Cuillier, director of the University of Arizona School of Journalism says FOIA laws continue to be vital to citizens' ability to know what governments are doing.
"The information that is really helpful for the public to know is often really difficult to get," says Cuillier, who authored the book "The Art of Access: Strategies for Acquiring Public Records."
His biggest tip for using the law? Go ask for something!

Click on the audio above to hear their edited conversation. Here's a transcript:
Sandra Svoboda: Why do these Freedom of Information laws continue to be important?
David Cuillier: They are important because they're the only legal recourse anyone has to force government to give up information.
Svoboda: As you look across the country in general, how are cities, villages, townships — handling FOIA?
Cuillier: It really varies. Some are doing a great job. There are pockets around the country that are making it really accessible to the average person, thinking from the average person's perspective. They don't even talk about 'FOIA' because most people don't even know what that is. They talk about how to get a police report from your neighborhood or how to get information about environmental issues or what not. And they're doing it pro-actively. But for the most part I think most government jurisdictions make it really difficult for the average person to access the information they're entitled to and that's really unfortunate. I think we need to really work harder on it. It take resources, and it takes commitment.
Svoboda: For someone who has never used the Freedom of Information At, what are your basic steps in how they use it to look up something in their own community?
Cuillier: It's really just pretty simple: Go ask for it. It could be a verbal request. It doesn't even have to be written. They'll likely make you fill out a form, that's OK. They've got to keep a record of who's asking for what and how to get back to you. Hopefully they'll get back to you soon and give you the information.
Svoboda: You've used and researched Freedom of Information laws for several year that allow citizens and journalists to get access to public records. How have you seen the process change with the advent of the internet?
Cuillier: You would think the Internet has made it a lot better, and it has in some ways but in a lot of ways it's made it worse. A lot of government agencies fall back on the position of 'Look, we put all this data out there.' The White House did this under Obama for many years. 'Look how open we are and transparent.' But for the most part the information wasn't really that useful to the average person and the information that is really helpful for the public to know often is really difficult to get. It tends to be the records the journalists are going after to hold government accountable, and of course government folks often don't want that make public because it could get them fired. So it's still a tussle. It should be a lot better. It should be simple to acquire whatever you want and it should be pro-active. Really everything's electronic now, more or less, and every record that's created by the government should be automatically put online in some kind of system that's easily retrieved with appropriate redactions for information that shouldn't be public automatically made. That can be done. Maybe some day we'll get there.

Agrimony is a common herb and a member of the Rosaceae family. It is native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and is also found in Africa. There are more than 12 species of Agrimony, the main two being Common Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) found in Europe, and Hairy Agrimony (Agrimonia gryposepala) which is found in North America. This plant can grow from 0.5 – 2m tall and is characterized by its slender spikes of yellow flowers. Its name is derived from the Greek word Argemone which means 'plant that heals the eye', referring to its popularity as a remedy for eye and visual ailments. This herb is often also known as liverwort, cocklebur, and sticklewort.
Agrimony is considered a safe herb, but due to its astringent properties, can exacerbate constipation. It is also safe for children to use but pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid it unless approved by a doctor.

The DNP, Myanmar and the IUCN are to discuss the potential of an integrated cross border World Heritage Site combining the Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex and the Tanintharyi Nature Reserve.
Speaking of Myanmar and yes I could probably google it, but does anyone have any information on how to join some of these jungle research groups as a volunteer who are going deep into the forest?
I met a Czech guy once in KK who said he had volunteered with the organisation in the link, personally I have not heard of them and cannot vouch for their credibility. But this guy did say he stayed with them for 2 months doing volunteer work in Thung Yai Naresuan, inlcluding checking of camera traps.


Aircraft used to fight fire from the air have included old World War II bombers like the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, North American B-25 Mitchell, Douglas A-26 Invader, and others. Consolidated PBY Catalinas and the few huge Martin Mars flying boats have been pressed into service as tankers. Former Navy patrol aircraft like the Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer, Lockheed P-2 Neptune and P-3 Orion have been on the front lines. Airlifters like the Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar, the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, and old Douglas propliners like the DC-4, DC-6, and DC-7 have also been used as retardant delivery platforms. Veteran Grumman S-2 Trackers, some of them updated with turbine engines, have been or are in use. Even Grumman F7F Tigercats and TBF/TBM Avengers have gotten in on the action- among many more.
Airliners like the Boeing 747, Douglas DC-10, and Bae 146 are working the wildfires. One of the newer aerial tanker solutions is the Erickson Aero Tanker MD-87. The company already owns seven aircraft with five of them converted for tanker duty (tankers 101, 102, 103, 105, and 107) and hopes to build a fleet of ten tanker-configured MD-87s. Standard retardant capacity for the MD-87 tanker is 4,000 gallons. That's a far cry from the 19,000-plus gallon capacity of the 747 Global Super Tanker, but the MD-87 is much less expensive to operate and can utilize more austere fields with shorter runways.
The MD-87 tanker's capacity is 1,920 gallons more than the capacity of the Lockheed P-2 Neptune tankers and 1,000 gallons more than Bae-146 tankers. Because the MD-87's tail-mounted twin Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines could be affected by retardant released from the standard opening in the belly of the aircraft, Erickson has added an external ventral tank which creates an additional four feet of separation between the released retardant flow and the engines.
One interesting aspect of the MD-87 tanker is under certain conditions, the aircraft is flown with the landing gear down during the retardant drop. This reduces airspeed while allowing higher engine RPMs, reducing lag on post-drop climb out- similar to a speed break. This is not unique to the MD-87 tankers though. Douglas DC-7s and some other large tanker-modified aircraft have done the same thing for many years. Occasionally only the main gear are extended with nose gear stowed. When pulling off or up after a retardant drop the pilots of these aircraft simply want as much performance available to them as possible. Here's a video of a MD-87 dropping retardant uploaded to YouTube by wcolby.


"Strange" is the first word that comes to mind. Its been a strange and sad year in pop culture, politics, and even love life. And by love life I mean food, not the other stuff which is fine thank you, and knock on.. ahem… wood. But that's another post for another day, that I imagine wont be a free one. During 2016 we traveled a little more than usual, and so the best dishes came from overseas, especially Italy. We also didnt quite have our share of the usual haute fine dining last year, as I continue to discover more and more exciting cheap options in all 5 boroughs. But we did have our fair share of exciting eats, which made the selection difficult as usual.
Its quite the site when this Long Island Sound beauty arrives in all her glory. Head and teeth and all, without the main bone that was surgically removed. The fish is dressed with the momofuku signature ginger scallion sauce. One bite, and you can tell this is not your average grilled Branzino. Another bite and its an entire Havah Nagilla rendition in your mouth. By the 5th inning, you remember to try the accompanied lettuce and tortillas to make fish wraps. You experiment by adding some pickled bean sprouts, cabbage, and creme fraiche, and you are suddenly the world's greatest fish taco maker. The fish comes with all these goodies in "Ssam" style.
The usual challenge with these lists is going back to the earlier moths to see if anything stood out. This one did. Some of the best octopus I've had in a while in a year filled with glorious octopus (Avlee, Cull and Pistol, just to name a few). Nir Mesika from ZiZi Limona fame tenderizes, sous vide style, the heck out of this thing (I'm guessing by the size and bite, it was enjoying the coast of Portugal a few days prior). Then he finishes it on an open flame like the Bedouin do 200 kilometers south of Mesika's hometown in Israel. All that smoky goodness, served with black eggplant puree, pickled cabbage and hummus, tells your brain just one thing. Taim!
I spent much of 2016 biking to/from Chelsea Market, and wrestling with tourists. Guess who won? This guy! And much of these visits I spent at Dizengoff including two days after they opened when I met the great Michael Solomonov (turns out we have a lot in common, other than fame). Its not just about the hummus and its perfect silky smooth texture and taste, and its hard to get excited about a Hummuseria to begin with. But its much about the whole package. The insanely delicious hot off the oven pita on steroids. (Calling it pita almost sounds insulting), the pickles, the homemade S'hug and the rotating seasonal toppings that make this place so magnetic.
Chicken Wings Skewers at Biang!
Ever since I discovered the magic of Biang, it has become the dining equivalent of Netflix binge watching. I cant get enough of it. The entire menu and its noodle lineup is fantastic, but its all these skewers that you cant find in the Xi'an Famous near you that I'm most attracted. No one that I know prepares Lamb, Enoki Mushrooms and Cauliflower quite like this. But its those perfectly seasoned whole wings that are so big they need to occupy two skewers that I need to have each time, sometimes with a tour group (usually on East Village tours on Fridays). I just love a good wing. And every morsel of this thing just makes me want to run around the room with scissors, naked. Yes I'm seeing someone about that.
Two incarnations, two names, one triumph. Some of the original dish names got simplified over time for those unfamiliar with what Ceci or Grand Lisboa got to do with anything. But there's nothing simple about the entire Nishi noodle lineup (I've had all of them just in the past week). The clams are dressed with Oregano based sauce, sitting on top toasted Chow Mein noodles and cabbage. Calling this Cho Mein noodles is an insult to this dish. Its cooked with apple cider that give it this sweet something, like no Chow Mein you've had before. And clams with oregano is like a match made in Fukuland. Fukuland is my heaven. You are on a beautiful beach, fed something unique every hour by heavily tattooed bearded men, and heavily tattooed bearded women.
Yes a pretzel somehow sneaked itself into a best of list. Pretzels are something I usually only eat when I'm about to pass out from hunger, but for this one I drive all the way to Ditmas Park, Brooklyn to have it. It the best pretzel in NYC! Well, that's what its called on the menu. So make sure to order the right one, otherwise you may wind up with just an "Adequate Neighborhood Pretzel". And did I mention that it comes with its own Lipitor! Or is it "Liptauer", a buttery, cheesy, peppery, paprika infused spread that requires a German born pretzel the size of half a pretzel cart to fully enjoy. Forget the mustard and spread this beast with the Lipitor. And if the pretzel will make you thirsty, they have a cure for that too.
Sometimes the best meals come from unexpected places. The homey Filipino in Carrol Gardens surely delivered in more homey way than one. Some if not all the recipes came from the chef's parents. And when mom and pop didnt quite agree on something, they included both versions on the menu (the two chicken dishes). But the fish here was my favorite, and there was nothing particularly outrageous about it. The day's fresh fish (Pacific Flounder in our case) simply grilled in banana leaf, and topped with an extremely complimentary tomatoee Adobo. We've had quite a few such dishes last year, including in Michelin Star La Vara a few blocks from FOB, but this one left the biggest mark.
Say it with me. Miiiiso Cherry…. Say it like you mean it. 2016 is the year I took a break from gelato and rediscovered the joys of ice cream, but with a scientific twist. I imagine these odd fellas in a Breaking Bad like lab in a Williamsburg warehouse experimenting on willing humans. I cant think of any ice cream out there that had such an affect on me. The Miso flavor is very evident here, and it works big time. Since I had it, I've been bringing tours here on a regular basis, only to see Miso Cherry missing in action. But no worries, they promise. Its coming back very soon.
Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, the Naked Cowboy, the woman on the C line that forgets her pants sometimes, Brontosaurus Rib at Mighty Quinn's. Things that remind you that you are not in Keukenhof anymore. This is America, where you American food, cooked by Americans, in America! The BBQ renaissance in NYC is in full force. You simply can no longer say that there's no good BBQ in NYC. Try saying it… See? You cant!
At first you feel like you need some sort of a game plan on how to share this massiveness of a beef bone. But after a quick poke, no knives, and no archers needed. A simple fork attack will do for this super delicate, juicy piece of meat. At BBQ joints I normally pass on beef ribs in favor of the pig, but here my gut told me I had to fork in the $23 for this bone (by gut I mean I've been reading and hearing about it for a while) and the gut was right.
This is not the place to discount the sides. They may look like Boston Market, but taste like Per Se. Did you know there's no Boston Market in Boston (other than one perhaps)? Yes, you've been living a lie. Who doesn't like sweet potatoes? Me! Not a fan. But add some pecans and maple syrup and you got yourself a scrumptious little side. The Edamame and pea salad was as good as Edamame and sweet peas can potentially get.
Mighty Quinn's, possibly the city's best all around BBQ, represents everything I love about eating in the East Village. Its like a giant Smorgasbord of artisanal goodies. Where else can you have ribs, Thai, a gay bar and Hamantash (March mean Hamantash season) at Moishe's all right next to each other.

Given how well bronze stands up against saltwater corrosion, it's a shame more brands didn't adopt it as the material for their nautical models. Understandably, it's heftier than steel and less prestigious than gold, thus only very few watch companies have truly embraced it. With the Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Expedition Charles Darwin, IWC has made its first move to cosy up with bronze. In many ways, it makes perfect sense. Unlike gold, which is very stable, bronze has the ability to evolve, developing a patina over time and echoing the Darwinian theory of constant evolution.
IWC used a high-tech bronze alloy that contains aluminium, which makes it harder and more rigid, for both the case and the bezel (also reinforced with the IWC SafeDive system). Harmoniously, the hands and hour indices are also rendered in the same hue. The only difference is that they glow in the dark, thanks to a Super-LumiNova coating. Another familiar material used is rubber, for the crown, chronograph pushers, and of course the strap as well.
The Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Expedition Charles Darwin (S$15,200) is such a singular timepiece but surprisingly it's not a limited edition, so willing buyers are spared from tripping over themselves for it. Calibre 89365 keeps it powered for a maximum of 68 hours as long as the rotor is on full wind. On the case back, an engraving of Charles Darwin reminds the wearer of the importance of ocean conservation.

It's that time again — time for a blog vacation. I'll be taking a break from the LadyLiberty1885 blog for about a month.
I'll still be on Twitter and Facebook and will keep up with my regular weekly column at Da Tech Guy, but the fingers and brain need a break.
Also, Summer is here and the kids are off from school. Time to kick back and spend quality time with my little people and perhaps finish up one of my other non-political writing endeavors.
Thanks to everyone for your readership and support! I'll be back!

Sometimes an investor will search for their target property in google and click on search results from the likes of realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, or one of many others. These sites will all generally provide a snapshot of sales history and rental history for a property.
However, often there is a rental figure presented beside the property image which suggests you are being provided a rental estimate for your specific property. Generally though, the rental amount being shown is the median rent for the suburb.
This is an important distinction. As a reminder, the median rent is the value separating the higher half of all rents from the lower half i.e. if you lined all the weekly rents for a suburb in order, the number in the middle would be the median.
This is different to an average, and in the vast majority of instances is different to the actual rental return you could expect for your own target property.
In summary, be aware of what the figure is you're seeing on-screen or on your reporting, and if it is a median rental return for the suburb, remember this has very little to do with your specific property.
The major online portals also provide an indication of rental history. In our experience, the data provided on realestate.com.au (which is sourced from CoreLogic) is more complete than domain.com.au. We have seen instances where rental history is present on the former and absent or incomplete on the latter.
So if you can see the rental history for a property, you could take this as a pretty good appraisal of what the property would rent for now, right? Unfortunately, not always.
What many people don't know is that the rental figures reported on these services can be subject to incorrect or incomplete reporting by the agency which filled the rental.
So, while publicly available rental history is a helpful guide, it is far from providing a complete and accurate picture in every instance.
As seen from the above, any online report is only as good as its input. Property history as seen on the major portals takes no account of the property's current condition. Since the property was last rented, its condition could have deteriorated significantly or improved remarkably through renovation etc.
For example, you may have seen the property yourself at an inspection and appreciating the renovation work done by the previous owner, but this increase in value would not be reflected in any automated online reporting.
How do I obtain an accurate rental appraisal?
For an accurate rental appraisal, you should always contact an expert property manager familiar with the area. They will have knowledge and skill to identify a broader range of comparable properties than you may yourself as well as the experience to navigate the pitfalls outlined in this article.
If you're wondering what the potential rental return should be for your investment property, even if it's currently listed with another agency, we'd love to help. Contact us for a rental appraisal now.

Q: XML Interpreter Is there any Open source XML interpreter developed in C language?
It should accept given xsd files and when some new xml file is provided as buffer or filefd then it should parse and create appropriate memory model and invoke binary transformation libs provided.
XML interpreter should allow user to provide external library to convert the xml to binary representation like xdr,cdr or custom formats?
I want to use it as adapter, we get some rest msg and want to convert to binary msg like sip... I don;t want to use code generation approach even though it is faster.

A: Try using libXML 2.0: http://www.xmlsoft.org/ it is the C XML parser library.

Oman Braces for 'Extremely Severe' Cyclone Mekunu
May 25, 2018 businessarabia.qa
SALALAH, OMAN, Cyclone Mekunu will be extremely severe when it crashes into the Arabian Peninsula this weekend, meteorologists warned Friday, after earlier thrashing the Yemeni island of Socotra. At least 17 people are missing from Socotra, with one Yemeni official describing them as likely dead.
The cyclone is expected to make landfall early Saturday near Salalah, Oman's third-largest city and home to about 200,000 people near the sultanate's border with war-ravaged Yemen.
Conditions quickly deteriorated in Salalah after sunrise Friday, with winds and rain beginning to pick up. Strong waves smashed into empty tourist beaches. Many holidaymakers fled the storm Thursday night before Salalah International Airport closed.
India's Meteorological Department said the storm in the Arabian Sea was packing maximum sustained winds of 160-170 kilometers (99-106 miles) per hour, with gusts of up to 180 kph (112 mph).
On Socotra, Gov. Ramzy Mahrous said one ship sank and two others ran aground in the storm. The storm sent torrents of rain pouring through homes and streets, leaving residents soaking wet and trying to wade to safety.
He said of the 17 missing: We consider them dead.
Yemen's self-exiled President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi in a statement ordered troops under his command on the island to help citizens, deliver supplies and reopen roads.
The island, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, has been the focus of a dispute between the United Arab Emirates and Yemen's internationally recognized government amid that country's war after Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, seized the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
Saudi troops recently deployed on Socotra as a confidence-building measure over complaints by Yemen's government that the UAE deployed troops there without its permission.
Socotra has a unique ecosystem and is home to rare plants, snails and reptiles that can be found nowhere else on the planet. It is known for its flower-and-fruit bearing dragon blood tree, which resembles an umbrella and gets its name from the dark red sap it secretes.
Oman prepares
Salalah, the hometown of Oman's longtime ruler, Sultan Qaboos bin Said, already began sandbagging low-lying doors and warning residents not to go into valleys for fears of flashing flooding.
Oman sent rescue helicopters to remote villages in its Dhofar governorate to evacuate those who could be impacted by flooding or mudslides. It also evacuated the critically ill from Sultan Qaboos Hospital in Salalah, flying them north to Muscat, the country's capital.
The port of Salalah, crucial to Qatar amid a boycott by four Arab nations over a diplomatic spat with Doha, said it also had taken precautions and secured cranes ahead of the cyclone.
Rare powerful cyclone
Seasonal rains are nothing unusual for southern Oman this time of year. While the rest of the Arabian Peninsula bakes in areas where temperatures near 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit), those in the sleepy port city of Salalah enjoy rainy weather that sees fog and cool air wrap around its lush mountainsides. Temperatures drop down around 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) during its annual monsoon festival.
Powerful cyclones, however, are rare. Over a roughly 100-year period ending in 1996, only 17 recorded cyclones struck Oman. In 2007, Cyclone Gonu tore through the sultanate and later even reached Iran, causing $4 billion in damage in Oman alone and killing more than 70 people across the Mideast.
The last hurricane-strength storm to strike within 160 kilometers (100 miles) of Salalah came in May 1959, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's archives. However, that cyclone was categorized as a Category 1 hurricane, meaning it only had winds of up to 152 kph (95 mph).
A cyclone is the same as a hurricane or a typhoon; their names only change because of their location. Hurricanes are spawned east of the international dateline. Typhoons develop west of the line and are known as cyclones in the Indian Ocean and Australia.
Mekunu, which means mullet in Dhivehi, the language spoken in the Maldives, is on track to potentially be the same strength as a Category 2 hurricane at landfall. It also comes just days after Cyclone Sagar struck Somalia.

Rev. Luther Barnes, 2006 TCHOF Inductee
Rev. Luther Barnes, 2006 inductee of the Twin County Hall of Fame, will be awarded with another major recognition later this month: induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.
Rev. Barnes, senior pastor at Rocky Mount's Restoration Worship Center, will be inducted as acknowledgement of his career in gospel music:
From the Rocky Mount Telegram:
Well-known gospel singer the Rev. Luther Barnes will be honored at a ceremony on Oct. 18 in Kannapolis. There he will be inducted alongside other notable North Carolina musicians such as John Tesh, Chris Daughtry and The Hoppers. Once inducted, Barnes will have an exhibit at the Hall of Fame.
Barnes, who serves as senior pastor at the Restoration Worship Center on Falls Road, grew up in the Battleboro community and graduated from Northern Nash High School.
Barnes began singing at the age of nine. However, he said it was a seventh-grade teacher who first noted his talent and inspired his desire to pursue music as a goal.
"Miss Walker said she thought I had a great little voice and she would keep me in from recess to sing at the piano. I was thinking 'Why am I here singing? I need to be out playing football with the other guys.' But I ended up getting free music lessons from her," Barnes said.
In high school at Northern Nash, Barnes joined the choir and was part of a barbershop quartet.
"That was great training. Mr. Wade loved barbershop and he put me in the group as a baritone. It was a lot of fun and I learned about harmony and how to stick to my notes. I was the black guy with three white guys, but we bonded well together," Barnes said.
Though school helped form his early musical years, he also had plenty of influence at home as well. His father, Bishop F.C. (Faircloth) Barnes, was a notable gospel singer in his own right and was the composer of the gospel classic, "The Rough Side of the Mountain." Bishop Barnes, who was previously inducted into the N.C. Music Hall of Fame, served as pastor at the Red Budd Holy Church in Castalia and by the time Luther Barnes was in high school, he was directing the church choir.
After high school, Luther Barnes attended Saint Augustine's College in Raleigh and graduated with a bachelor's degree in music education. He then spent about six years teaching music in Nash County at Northern Nash and in Edgecombe County at several schools, including Phillips Elementary School.
"I chose the major because I loved music but I knew I needed to be able to fall back on teaching if my singing career didn't work out," Barnes said.
As he gained experience and exposure in the realm of gospel music, Barnes left teaching after six years to pursue music full time. He went on to become a singer, songwriter, director and record producer. He has served as lead singer with Luther Barnes and the Sunset Jubilaires and the Red Budd Gospel Choir.
Barnes, now 64, released his first major album, "See What the Lord Has Done," in 1984. Since then he has released over 28 albums and has performed with various gospel artists.
Barnes has also garnered accolades and awards along the way. In 1992, he was awarded the Gospel Music Workshop of America Award. He was nominated for a Grammy award in 2003 for the album "It's Your Time" and received a Stellar Award for the the album in 2005.
In 2006, Barnes was a nominee for the Gospel Music Association's Dove Award, received the Mississippi Gospel Award and was inducted into the the International Gospel Music Hall of Fame in Detroit.
That same year, Barnes began his preaching ministry.
"I accepted my calling to preach and began to evangelize and hold revivals," Barnes said.
In 2014, Barnes founded the Restoration Worship Center, which he describes as interdenominational. The church began meeting with 80 members at the former Four Seasons Restaurant in Rocky Mount. The church has since purchased property on Falls Road and is meeting in the former Falls Road Baptist Church.
Between singing and speaking obligations, Barnes still tries to sing for his congregation every Sunday. For him, preaching and singing are both ways to deliver the messages that he loves best.
"I primarily sing gospel music because of the message," Barnes said. "I am a religious guy and I believe in salvation and the Bible. Gospel music is all about hope and strength and love. I like the feeling it gives you when you sing gospel music. It's a spiritual thing."
As the day for the induction ceremony approaches, Barnes said he is excited about joining the N.C. Music Hall of Fame.
"It is one of the biggest honors I have received simply because it is from my home state," Barnes said. "I have been out and around and received accolades and been inducted into the Gospel Hall of Fame, but having your home state recognize your accomplishments is something special. It is also an honor to be in the same hall of fame as singers like James Taylor, Randy Travis and Shirley Caesar," he said.
Barnes said he is also looking forward to joining his father in the N.C. Music Hall of Fame as well.
"It is rare for two family members to achieve this honor, each in his own right," Barnes said.
