Country Perspective's Top 10 Albums of 2019
December 30, 2019 December 24, 2019 Josh2 Comments
Back in the day, Country Perspective would spend around a month doing end of the year posts, recognizing the best and worst across several categories. While it was fun in a way, it was also quite tiring. And I imagine it had to be quite tiring for the reader too. After all I imagine you read several other music blogs and year-end posts. Speaking also as a reader of many blogs, it gets old after reading so many of these posts when really these things have two major points: 1) Giving proper recognition to the absolute best in music and 2) Giving you the listener a potential new album/artist to listen to. Plus, it's fun to compare lists.
So with my lack of interest in doing so many year end posts and this blog having it's major focus on albums, this is going to be the only best of 2019 post, the best albums of the year. It was a pretty good year for albums, as there were so many good ones across multiple genres. While there were some disappointments that stood out for me, pleasant new surprises more than made up for them (you'll see some of them made the top 10 even). While it certainly didn't touch the best years of this decade (hello 2014), 2019 is one of the better years of music in the 2010s (I'll be doing my best of the decade posts in 2020).
But before I get to my top ten albums of 2019, I want to list some honorable mentions that weren't quite good enough for the top ten, but still good albums that I recommend you check out…
Midland – Let It Roll
Cody Jinks – After The Fire
Lindsey Stirling – Artemis
Blackberry Smoke – Homecoming
Danny Brown – uknowwhatimsayin
Tyler, The Creator – IGOR
Durand Jones & The Indications – American Love Call
The Highwomen – The Highwomen
Yola – Walk Through Fire
Old Dominion – Old Dominion
Rival Sons – Feral Roots
YBN Cordae – The Lost Boy
BAILEN – Thrilled to Be Here
The Black Keys – Let's Rock
10. Benny The Butcher – The Plugs I Met
Dirty, grimy and nasty is how I would describe the sounds and lyrics of this album. And I love it! The entire Griselda hip-hop collective is fantastic and rightly getting their due now that they're signed to Eminem's Shady Records (check out the album they dropped in November). But the star is undoubtedly Benny The Butcher and this album is the proof. All of his work is great, but this is an excellent entry point. When the king of coke rap in Pusha T endorses your coke rap (dropping a great feature on this album too), well you know you're doing something right.
9. Cody Jinks – The Wanting
While I wouldn't put the The Wanting as Cody Jinks' best work, it's certainly close and features maybe the most badass album cover of 2019. This album offers deep introspection on life, passion and love. The instrumentation is varied, going from slow ballads to rockers. And he did this all while dropping another album the week before that just missed this list. Jinks is undoubtedly one of the hardest working artists in music today and I was impressed by what he accomplished in dropping two great albums within a week of each other. If you're someone looking to get into country music, Jinks is one of the first you should check out.
8. Dee White – Southern Gentleman
This album was released all the way back in January, but you should not forget about it. Dee White proves himself to be one of the most promising new country artists to watch with his debut album Southern Gentleman. White's voice evokes memories of Roy Orbison and George Jones and he's only 19-years-old. And while he feels like a classic artist in every sense, his lyrics are still modern. There are several great storytelling moments on this album and White even holds his own with fantastic vocalists like Ashley McBryde and Alison Krauss. I can't wait to hear more from Dee White.
7. Tyler Childers – Country Squire
Country Squire is an incredible album and with its perfectly short run time, you'll find yourself replaying it again and again. While some were disappointed by this follow-up to Purgatory, I was instantly impressed with this album. What's great is these are old songs that have been played by Childers live for years and with live music being what pays the bills for artists, it only makes sense to record these songs. While we're still due for Tyler Childers' absolute best work, this is a pretty damn good album to play while we wait for it.
6. Michaela Anne – Desert Dove
Michaela Anne delivers an amazing album in Desert Dove. It's full of smooth and breezy songs that only take a couple of listens to truly enjoy. Like my good friend and fellow music writer Zackary Kephart says, this album is quite similar to Kacey Musgraves' Golden Hour and that was my top album of 2018. So if you enjoyed that album, this is a must-listen. This also feels like Anne's breakout moment, as she finds the sound and themes she needed to truly show her full potential and prove herself as an artist that should be on your radar if you love country music or just great music in general.
5. Kishi Bash – Omoiyari
Omoiyari is a wonderful album full of beautiful lyrics and sounds that cover an important topic in American history that more people show know about. Why Kishi Bashi is not more covered by music journalists I'll never know, but this music reviewer is telling you that you need to check him out. He's a multi-instrumentalist who writes his own lyrics and can cover a wide variety of sounds so damn well. On this album he masters the chamber pop/orchestral pop sound while giving you an informative history lesson too. As a music nerd and history nerd, it's a double win!
4. Mike and The Moonpies – Cheap Silver and Solid Country Gold
So I would be remiss if I didn't point that my top four is clearly ahead of the rest, being that they all received 10/10 ratings, with each at one point or another getting consideration for Country Perspective's 2019 Album of the Year. And out of all them, this was my biggest surprise of 2019. Mike and the Moonpies deliver something special with Cheap Silver and Solid Country Gold. It's fantastic in both sound and songwriting. The group clearly left their comfort zone. It honors the tried and true, while delivering something that feels new too. This is a band for me that went from releasing two albums I couldn't get into at all to releasing an album that I can't find a single fault in.
3. Freddie Gibbs & Madlib – Bandana
I found hip-hop in 2019 to be pretty disappointing. But I never find the work of Freddie Gibbs and producer Madlib to be disappointing, as this duo once again delivers big with Bandana. After delivering a classic in Piñata, they manage to nearly match it, which absolutely blows my mind. Gibbs raps his ass off on this album, delivering some of his best bars ever, while finding a great balance of bangers and humor while also offering introspection on more serious topics like when he was falsely accused of rape and systematic racism. Madlib brings some of the best beats in the game, picking some excellent samples as he always does. If there's one hip-hop album you listen to this year, it's this one.
2. Sturgill Simpson – SOUND & FURY
SOUND & FURY from start to finish feels like one long song, as it's both cohesive in sound and lyrics, telling several stories that tie into overarching theme of Simpson being angry at a lot of things in the world, but when it comes down to it he's most angry at himself and what he let himself become. Each track explores the flawed thoughts and actions of a flawed man. This album sounds like early to mid 70s music and sounds like the eccentric, frenetic sounds of Jeff Lyne and Electric Light Orchestra meets the in-your-face, sneering lyrics of Creedence Clearwater Revival. The amount of care and detail given to every aspect makes this one of the best albums you'll hear in 2019 and yet another excellent album from Sturgill Simpson.
Country Perspective's 2019 Album of the Year…
1. Carly Rae Jepsen – Dedicated
If you still think of Carly Rae Jepsen as just the "Call Me Maybe" girl, well you're just plain wrong. Because when she released Emotion and Emotion Side B, she showed me that there's not a better pop artist making music today. Jepsen further proves with Dedicated that she just gets pop music: the over-the-top production, the overwhelming emotions, the catchy hooks, exciting themes and everything in-between. It's appropriate she has an album named Dedicated considering she writes hundreds of songs for each album and spends months culling down to the final track list. This true dedication to her music shines through on every lyric and sound on this album. It's a complete album from front to back, touching on the several emotions of love through the many trials and tribulations of a relationship. And it wouldn't surprise me a bit that the "B cuts" for this album are equally as great in quality. Not only is this the best album of 2019 in my mind, but one of the best of the 2010s.

Also feel free to ask me about any music releases/news from 2019 too (think of it as a 2019 music AMA), as my late start didn't allow me to discuss everything I would have liked to discuss.

Raise a Glass of Holiday Cheer or Bah Humbug?: "White Christmas"
December 23, 2019 December 27, 2019 Josh
This feature is quite simple: I'm going to take a look at and categorize the different versions of a Christmas song into one of two categories. The good category is Raise a Glass of Holiday Cheer, whether that be egg nog, hot chocolate, or whatever other holiday concoction you prefer (just be responsible of course). The bad category is Bah Humbug, named after the famous retort of Ebenezer Scrooge (the Disney version of it is the best, don't @ me). The main point of this feature is to have some holiday fun! And maybe you'll find a new version of a holiday classic to stick in your own playlist. Also please throw your own recommendations in the comments!
Today I look at one of the most popular and well known Christmas classics, "White Christmas." The exact where and when it was written is disputed, but songwriter Irving Berlin upon composing it was quite confident in it's quality, as he told his secretary that not only was it the best song he's ever written, but the best song that anybody has ever written. So I guess quite confident is an understatement, eh? I wouldn't put it as the best song ever written, but it's certainly got a high spot on the list of greatest songs ever written. The melancholy mixed with hope in reminiscing in about Christmases of the past while having faith they come to fruition again makes for a song that's instantly connectable for most listeners.
The first public performance of the song was on Christmas day 1941 by Bing Crosby on his radio show. What's interesting is this song didn't get the instant hit response Berlin expected. Crosby called it nothing special and when first released as part of the soundtrack for the movie Holiday Inn, "Be Careful, It's My Heart" became the instant hit instead (raise your hand if you know this song, but now put it down because you're a liar). Eventually it did catch on though, a little over a year later, a large part in due to the backdrop of WWII happening, giving listeners a strong emotional connection to it. The song spent three separate times atop the United States charts and went on to be the name for the excellent Bing Crosby-starring 1954 movie White Christmas. Crosby would go on to be forever connected to this song as much as the writer Berlin, even though he downplayed his role in the success saying anyone could have sang it.
Raise a Glass of Holiday Cheer
Obviously the Crosby version of this song gets a big cheer from me. Despite his humility towards the success of this song, he is a big part of what made this song so big because it fits him perfectly. The reverence and respect in his voice as he delivers the performance of this song brings the words of Berlin to life. Now I can't say it's my favorite because well I admit this is one of my favorite Christmas songs of all-time and there are several performances of this song I really enjoy. But Crosby should always be the starting point for this song.
This R&B/doo-wop group completely re-vamped this classic song and manage to make a unique version that in my opinion strongly challenges Crosby's version (as of this writing it actually has over twice as many views as Crosby's version). The mix of different range of voices and doo-wopping make for a decidedly more upbeat version of the song, yet it still feels quite respectful. The falsetto in the middle of the song is fantastic. Thank you Home Alone for letting me know this version of the song exists.
So here's one that might shock you to see it's inclusion on this side of the list. But I'll let you in on a little secret: CeeLo's Magic Moment is one of the best Christmas albums released in the past decade. It's a great listen and his version of "White Christmas" makes the bold choice of adding horns, quite the contrast from Crosby. But it actually works as a swelling Christmas anthem that crescendos in the bridge quite well. I imagine this might be a divisive pick, but I stand by it.
You can never go wrong with Otis Redding! And this take on "White Christmas" is no different. If you want all the soul in your songs, listen to this one right now (and the Soul Christmas album).
Behind Bing Crosby, Andy Williams has the next best traditional take on this Yuletide staple. It's hazy, dream-like feeling definitely puts you in mind of waltzing through a snow-covered woods, making for a great Christmas performance.
My biggest issue with 'Ol Blue Eyes performance of this song is it's wait too serious. Sinatra's voice sounds too solemn and quiet. Also his change from children to kiddies in the lyrics is annoying and unnecessary. The chorus in the bridge is weak too. This was a big miss from Sinatra.
Irving Berlin hated Elvis and did everything he could to get Elvis' Christmas Album canceled because he found his interpretations of Christmas songs, particularly his own song "White Christmas," to be disrespectful. While I generally enjoy Elvis' Christmas Album, I'm in agreement with Berlin when it comes to this song. This is just awful, with the "soulful" affectations of Elvis' voice sounding quite plastic in comparison to the likes of The Drifters and Otis Redding.
Michael Bublé (featuring Shania Twain)
So Michael Bublé makes the bold choice of doing his version of the song in the same style as The Drifters. What a bad decision, as Bublé does not have the soulful voice to pull this off (the only artist I've ever heard successfully pull of a Drifters-style take on this song is Aaron Neville). Then he doubles down on the bad decision making and turns it into a duet with Shania Twain, whose voice does not go with his at all. Also this is not a duet song. It's like the musical version of watching someone slowly fall down the stairs.
Johnny Mathis looked at Sinatra's version of the song and decided to make it even more serious and duller sounding. I did not think it was possible to take such a great song and make it the excitement equivalent of paint drying. But yet this isn't the worst…
How to completely bastardize a song 101! The production is stripped down to the point where it sounds like Perry is singing from the bottom of a well, yet she also adds in the annoying Aguilera ad libs that never add anything meaningful to a song. Oh and her vocal performance sounds off key. Listen to this if you dare, but then make sure to wash it down with one of the great versions of this songs I recommend above.
This is the final edition of this feature in 2019 (it will return next year!), so thank you for reading this and all of the other posts on Country Perspective this year. I hope you all have a safe and great holidays!
P.S. I will be making my end of the year 2019 posts and looking ahead to 2020 posts in the next couple weeks.

Raise a Glass of Holiday Cheer or Bah Humbug?: "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town"
December 18, 2019 December 17, 2019 Josh1 Comment
Today I'm going to take a look at "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town," a beloved holiday classic that children everywhere especially enjoy in their joyous anticipation of the man in the big red suit coming to visit. The song was written in 1934 by John Frederick Coots and Haven Gillespie. It was first performed on the radio show of Eddie Cantor in November of the same year. In Cantor's original performance of the song he actually added additional lyrics to the song that encouraged people listening to be more charitable and help those in need since it was at the height of The Great Depression.
Despite the financial hardship of the country, listeners went crazy buying it, as over 30,000 records of it were sold in 24 hours (the equivalent of 4.5 million streams today). Over 200 artists have recorded their own version of it, although my first memory of the song is hearing it in the 1970 Rankin-Bass television show Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. Great show that I recommend!
One of the more popular early recordings, being no surprise at all with Frank Sinatra. It's also my favorite version of the song, as it's classy, festive and features Sinatra at his best vocally. He adds a real liveliness to the performance with his version, as I think both young and old listeners can find something to enjoy about it. Plus the horns sound great.
It's funny how I find Michael Bublé's regular pop songs to be vanilla and boring, yet come Christmastime I thoroughly enjoy his takes on Christmas songs. Perhaps it's his throwback style that is similar to the holiday standards people are used to that makes his version of this song so enjoyable for myself and others.
Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters
One of the simplest versions of the song you'll hear, but quite effective nonetheless. Crosby's stoic voice combined with the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters sound great together. It's a jovial and bouncy performance I enjoy.
I love the opening to this song, as it sets the scene for the song perfectly. Then you get to the performance, which is fun and energetic. The secret sauce to this sounding so great is the thumping drums that drive the song. It's refreshing in a world today filled with drum machines.
Of course I enjoy the queen of country music's version of this yuletide classic. It's Dolly! She delivers a fantastic performance as she usually does and there's fiddles. Why wouldn't I enjoy this?!
This is the most popular version and also my most hated version. Perhaps it's because I find Springstreen to be overrated. But also I find it hard to enjoy someone who sounds like they're drunkenly screaming their way through the performance. It's no more enjoyable to hear The Boss to put on this type of performance than the drunk at karaoke night at your local bar. It's just so loud and annoying and by the end of the song I have a headache. As I've said on this blog before, popularity does not equate to quality.
Remember how I said in the previous version of this feature that the Jackson 5 are hit and miss with me in regards to their Christmas performances? Well this one is a miss. Just like Springsteen, a young Michael Jackson screams through this and it gets annoying fast. I guess it's more understandable from a child, but no less forgiving on the ears.
I enjoy most of Carey's versions of Christmas songs, but I find her cover of this song to be quite forgettable in comparison to her other Christmas performances. Her vocals are buried in the obnoxious production, which is too over the top for my liking. The lullaby-like introduction is also weird and off-putting.
No, no, no! This is so slick and doesn't even feel like Christmas. Why must modern artists ruin Christmas songs so much? This version deservers a nice, big lump of coal!

Raise a Glass of Holiday Cheer or Bah Humbug?: "The Christmas Song"
December 9, 2019 December 9, 2019 Josh2 Comments
Welcome to a brand new Christmas feature of Country Perspective! Now in the past long-time readers may remember me passing on reviewing Christmas songs because well I didn't really know the best way to approach them and I also felt the need to cover what I felt like everybody else wanted me to cover instead of covering what I want. But obviously things change, as I just did my very first Christmas review.
Now my new feature is quite simple: I'm going to take a look at and categorize the different versions of a Christmas song into one of two categories. The good category is Raise a Glass of Holiday Cheer, whether that be egg nog, hot chocolate, or whatever other holiday concoction you prefer (just be responsible of course). The bad category is Bah Humbug, named after the famous retort of Ebenezer Scrooge (the Disney version of it is the best, don't @ me). The main point of this feature is to have some holiday fun! And maybe you'll find a new version of a holiday classic to stick in your own playlist. Also please throw your own recommendations in the comments!
The first song I'm going to take a look at is "The Christmas Song," which you probably remember as the song that involves chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Well that's the line I remember the most. The song was written in 1945 by Robert Wells and Mel Tommé (the latter actually admitted he doesn't even like the song). But here's a fun fact: The song was actually written on a hot summer day! Isn't that crazy? There's a little bit more to the story too, so I encourage to click the link above to read it. The song was originally recorded by The Nat King Cole Trio in 1946 and King went on to record several versions of the song in his career, as it became one of his biggest hits. It's also the most performed Christmas song according to BMI, which is something I did not know either.
The original and gold standard of course must be at the top of the good list!
Or as most of you probably remember it as: A Charlie Brown Christmas music. You really can't get much classier and respectful when it comes to Christmas music than what you get from Vince Guaraldi Trio. Their entire Christmas discography is great, as even listeners who normally don't check out jazz music can find enjoyment and Yuletide relaxation from it.
I'm hit and miss on the Jackson family when it comes to their Christmas album, but this is one of the songs I enjoy on it. It respects the classiness of the original version, while still making it feel like the era they recorded it in (1970) and making it their own too.
One day I'm going to write a piece (or pieces?) on how much I enjoy and respect Motown artists. Phil Spector and his artists really knew how to craft melodies and smart, catchy hooks. And The Temptations version of this song is no different, as it's got a decidedly R&B feeling that makes it feel like a more "adult" version because grownups need Christmas music too.
Alan Jackson's Let It Be Christmas album is one of my all-time favorite Christmas albums and I encourage anyone who hasn't listened to it to do so. Jackson's deep baritone and gentlemanly nature just makes him perfect to record really any Christmas song. It's safe to assume you will always see him on the good side of this feature.
Thomas Rhett's version of this classic is too smooth and overproduced. I'm so shocked! Not really of course, as it follows a pattern of the majority of his music. This is like the last version I want to hear of this song. As I said in my Bowen review, it's amazing how modern artists can screw up holiday songs.
Okay, so you might be surprised to see Crosby show up here instead of above. After all he's performed so many great renditions of Christmas songs and most of the time he will end up on the good list. But this one of his misses in my mind: this is too slow, boring and doesn't feel like Christmas. Crosby is practically yawning his way through the song. It's the music equivalent of paint drying. While most older versions of Christmas songs are better, this is an exception to the rule.
When I don't enjoy an Aguilera song, it's because she's overdoing it and going too over-the-top with her lyrics. And that is the case here, as it starts off well enough. But she just can't help herself by the end of the song.
Just like Bing Crosby, I usually enjoy a lot of Fitzgerald's versions of Christmas songs. But this song makes a big mistake with it's thin, jingly production. It feels like a cabaret, bar room lounge rendition of the song. And that's a shame because Ella Fitzgerald can belt it, so I don't understand why you would have her record this type of version of the song.
I take it back: Thomas Rhett's version of "The Christmas Song" isn't the worst. She & Him's version is the worst. Also I finally get my opportunity to put this (digital) pen to paper: She & Him are absolutely awful. They're one of the most annoying acts in music. From the general vibe they give off in their music to their album covers, they come off as snobby, pretentious and overwrought. The only thing they're missing is fedoras. I openly gag when I hear their music. Just like Alan Jackson being a lock for the Holiday Cheer list, She & Him are a lock for Bah Humbug.

Album Review — Wade Bowen's 'Twelve Twenty-Five'
December 4, 2019 December 4, 2019 Josh1 Comment
Every year modern artists will release their interpretations of classic Christmas songs, whether via singles or even an entire album. And maybe they'll even sprinkle in a few originals if you're lucky. But the problem is most of them don't stand out in any way. You'll listen to it once, say "that's neat" and then go right back to listening to the same old songs you always listen to around the holidays. Occasionally though someone will actually release something worthy of earning a spot in your Christmas songs rotation and this year that's Wade Bowen's new Christmas album Twelve Twenty-Five. I had a great feeling about the Texas country artist's first Christmas album when it was announced, and it went beyond even my own expectations.
Bowen opens with his rendition of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" and he knocks his performance out of the park. It's infectious, fun and gets the Christmas energy on this album kicked off perfectly. And I'm happy the production doesn't go over the top like it usually does when other artists cover this song. "O Holy Night" is next and this is admittedly one of my favorite religious Christmas songs. That's because I feel it truly captures the joy and meaning of Christmas through the Christian lens and Bowen's performance truly does justice to it, which isn't surprise considering he released a great gospel album.
"Santa Claus is Coming to Town" is next and I can tell that Bruce Springsteen's version of the song influences Bowen's own version. It's got a more rocking feeling rather than the classical approach many take and even banters in the song like Springsteen. But Bowen pulls it off so much better than Bruce because he doesn't over sing it (stay tuned for further elaboration on why I hate the Boss's take on the song), and the guitars and pianos don't blast the listener. Less can be more. "I'll Be Home for Christmas" showcases why I enjoy Bowen in more stripped-down songs. His voice just fits these piano ballads and the song also properly captures the feeling I look for in the covering of this song: mostly somber, but with bits of optimism and hope.
Bowen's son Brock joins him on "Holly Jolly Christmas" and I must admit I usually hate children singing. But I actually enjoy this performance because it's endearing, and Bowen goes full dad in the bridge of the song. It's hilarious while also avoiding being corny and feeling forced. It feels real and as the listener I can appreciate and enjoy this. When I think of "Please Come Home for Christmas" the first version I think of is The Eagles' version, as I believe it to be the best. And while I don't think Bowen's version tops it, it's still pretty damn good, as he captures the yearning and wanting needed in his vocal performance.
Bowen is joined by another one of his sons, Bruce, on the Irving Berlin classic "White Christmas." This performance is much different than the other one, as both take this song more seriously and Bruce sounds pretty good. Their harmonies sound great too. You can tell the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, as he may one day follow his father's footsteps. It's a heartfelt and enjoyable performance from the father and son duo.
I have to say I was surprised to see Wade Bowen cover the Mariah Carey classic "What I Want for Christmas is You," as the song's high popularity and sterling reputation amongst critics and listeners alike makes it a challenging song for other artists to tackle. Not to mention it requires some serious pipes to pull off. But he does a fantastic job! It's a different take that I think is worthy of being in anybody's Christmas playlist. Again, if you're like me and you get sick of Christmas songs going a little too far with production at times these more minimally produced Christmas songs are a fresh change of pace. If you don't want to spend time with this whole album, this is one of a few songs that should absolutely be heard.
"Til The Season Comes Round Again" is great to hear covered, as this song is a classic that often gets overlooked. It's a warm blanket next to the fire type song that Bowen along with the soulful feature of Sean McConnell cover really well. The addition of McConnell harmonizing with Bowen is really the cherry on top to make it a memorable performance. Dolly Parton's "Once Upon a Christmas" is covered next and I will never complain about a Dolly song showing up. While this is one of the my less favorite takes on the album (it has the unenviable task of living up to Dolly and Kenny Rogers), it's still solid and I like the Texas influences that are incorporated into the song.
The great Cody Canada joins Bowen for a rendition of Merle Haggard's brilliant "If We Make It Through December." I remember growing up I found this song to be kind of depressing and it is, but it's also important that this unpleasant and for some people, really real look at the other side of Christmas be presented. It shows that Christmas doesn't always go like it does in the movies and that reality and what you want don't always align. In other words, why we love country music: it's real.
Bowen goes to the other end of the spectrum with his cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas." And for some this might be sacrilegious to say, but I find Bowen's cover to be better than the original by George Michael. The reason is 1) I hate the excessive synth on the original and 2) Bowen's more stripped-down version allows the great lyrics to shine. Both these points play into each other, as the synths and overall cheesy feeling of the original really takes away from the quality of the lyrics that tell the complicated story of love lost around the holidays. This was easily an immediate standout on this album. Appropriate, the album closes with "Silent Night." It's just a natural closing song for a Christmas album and Bowen delivers a stirring and soulful rendition of this Christmas staple.
Twelve Twenty-Five is a modern Christmas album done right and I applaud Wade Bowen for accomplishing something that surprisingly so many modern artists screw up. Bowen takes classic songs and instead of trying to add some "twist" to make it stand out, instead just delivers them through his own voice with a country flavor while respecting the original takes on them. And don't dismiss this as just a great country Christmas album. This is a great Christmas album against any genre.

Washington State Gaming Commission Regulations
Full text of the Revised Code of Washington section RCW 9.46.010 can be found here: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.46
RCW 9.46.010 – "Legislative declaration."
The public policy of the state of Washington on gambling is to keep the criminal element out of gambling and to promote the social welfare of the people by limiting the nature and scope of gambling activities and by strict regulation and control.
It is hereby declared to be the policy of the legislature, recognizing the close relationship between professional gambling and organized crime, to restrain all persons from seeking profit from professional gambling activities in this state; to restrain all persons from patronizing such professional gambling activities; to safeguard the public against the evils induced by common gamblers and common gambling houses engaged in professional gambling; and at the same time, both to preserve the freedom of the press and to avoid restricting participation by individuals in activities and social pastimes, which activities and social pastimes are more for amusement rather than for profit, do not maliciously affect the public, and do not breach the peace.
RCW 9.46.0282 – "Social card game."
"Social card game" as used in this chapter means a card game that constitutes gambling and is authorized by the commission under RCW 9.46.070. Authorized card games may include a house-banked or a player-funded banked card game. No one may participate in the card game or have an interest in the proceeds of the card game who is not a player or a person licensed by the commission to participate in social card games. There shall be two or more participants in the card game who are players or persons licensed by the commission. The card game must be played in accordance with the rules adopted by the commission under RCW 9.46.070, which shall include but not be limited to rules for the collection of fees, limitation of wagers, and management of player funds. The number of tables authorized shall be set by the commission but shall not exceed a total of fifteen separate tables per establishment.
California State Regulations
The state of California tightly regulates professional, for-profit gaming. However, California law explicitly excludes private card games for which no one makes a profit from the operation of the game, i.e., their is not cost to play in the game and 100% of the money committed to the pot is distributed back to the players. Startup Haven never charges any player to participate in a poker game and distributes 100% of the pot back to the players. The relevant California statute can be founder here. To wit, Section 337j (2)(D) "(2) As used in this section, "controlled game" does not include any of the following: (D) Games played with cards in private homes or residences, in which no person makes money for operating the game, except as a player."
Oregon State Regulations
The state of Oregon does not regulate social games. Approval and permitting for social games is the jurisdiction of counties and cities within Oregon. The following excerpt comes form the Oregon State Police, Gaming Division, web site: www.oregon.gov/osp/gaming/Pages/tgaming_faqs.aspx
Oregon Revised Statue 167.121, local regulation of social games. Counties and cities may, by ordinance, authorize the playing or conducting of a social game in a private business, private club or in a place of public accommodation. Such ordinances may provide for regulation or licensing of the social games authorized.
Oregon state regulation define "social game" in the following way:
167.166 (21) "Social game" means:
(a) A game, other than a lottery, between players in a private home where no house player, house bank or house odds exist and there is no house income from the operation of the social game; and
(b) If authorized pursuant to ORS 167.121, a game, other than a lottery, between players in a private business, private club or place of public accommodation where no house player, house bank or house odds exist and there is no house income from the operation of the social game.
Portland permitting for social gaming only applies to specific premisses and not to events generally. Because Startup Poker 2.0 moves between venues, this permitting approach does not work. As we only just now launching in Portland, we have not found a work around for this yet. But we are in active dialog with the City of Portland auditors office to derive a solution that will allow Startup Poker 2.0 to receive a permit or exclude Startup Poker 2.0 from the permitting requirement altogether (which is their stated aim).
Startup Haven connects entrepreneurs with educations, opportunities and each other.

Setting an appointment with a prospective client to sell an insurance policy is a herculean task in itself. Right from conceiving the target client to assuring the success of the deal, one's job can be quite tiresome. However, the concept of insurance appointment setting can reduce your burden and hassle considerably.
In this article, we will let you know about how the best appointment setting entities can ease your business and at the same time, multiply its productivity.
From the view of selling insurance policies, the higher the number of successful leads, the better the prospects of the business.
Also Read: How Can Appointment Setting Services Help in Boosting Your Business.
Appointment setters are telemarketers who call prospective leads and engage in formal dialogue with them to convince them to buy a specific insurance deal.
Businesses are often double-minded when it comes to employing numerous employees who would cold-call clients each day to strike a meaningful deal. This may lead to steep rising expenses and low volumes of leads. On the contrary, the best appointment setters in New York lead you to find acquiescent clients without unmanageable costs and unnecessary botheration.
Appointment setting firms keep their business crisp and precise. Their professional attitude and persona, the tone of communication and their overall efficiency ensure that the forthcoming client takes an interest in the deal. In fact, a successful lead would recommend your business to several others in his circle. This way, you can harness sales opportunities via channels which you would have skipped right in the beginning.
Well, the best appointment setters in New York customize their scripts according to business needs since a single suit might not fit all businesses. This, in effect, means that your sales pitch becomes all the better and more powerful than before. With a conversation that sounds more credible and sagacious, the client would be more likely to buy the insurance plan.
If a business plans to introduce a special telemarketing section in its place of business, it would obviously invite essential and unavoidable infrastructural costs. This, in turn, might hamper profits in the long run. On the other hand, the benefit of hiring an insurance appointment setting service is that not only do you tend to reduce your input cost but also witness a sharp rise in converting contacts into leads through expert assistance and professionalized service.
Cold calling is a relic of the old. These days, the trend is to influence the customer through upfront negotiation and using the art of convincing to the optimum level. In this regard, insurance appointment setting services are well equipped to monetize leads simply because they have aced the linguistic ability to influence target clients. Their highly professional work style is worth a try.
Gone are the days when business heads or managers used to call target customers at a personal level to up their sales. Today, the call of the corporate world is to delegate such affairs to appointment setters who take the job of ensuring clients for your business in the best possible manner. In fact, the time saved by business heads here can be applied in other meaningful avenues such as focusing on the core business strategies and formulation policies for the long run. Such delegation also ensures that productivity is impulsive and results in higher profit margins.
Hiring an insurance setting service for all parts of the day means that while such firms might call clients during the day, they might spend the nights planning the details of the next day or maybe, modifying scripts to gain more mileage. This means that you have someone who is continuously endeavoring to improve your business output.
So here is the deal! If you too wish to prep yourself to face the ever dynamic corporate world and improve your insurance policy sales, hire an insurance appointment setting service at the earliest. Remember, running a business is all about hitting the right target at the right time.

NEW YORK -- Vamoose Bus, the intercity bus company that moves more than 7,000 travelers a week between the Washington, D.C. area and midtown Manhattan, this week added scheduled Business-class Gold Bus service runs.
Starting soon, travelers can board a Vamoose Gold Bus in Arlington, Va., at 6 a.m. with a single pick-up stop in Bethesda, Md., and arrive at 30th Street and Seventh Avenue, one block from Penn Station in the heart of midtown before 11 a.m. No other bus company offers this service between New York City and the Washington, D.C. area.
The early morning departure will supplement existing Gold Bus service which offers a scheduled 9 a.m. daily departure from Arlington, Va,. with a single pick-up stop in Bethesda at 9:30 a.m., and an estimated 1:30 p.m. arrival in midtown Manhattan.
The Gold Bus features wide-body, "two-and-one" leather seating with extra arm- and legroom, on-board free Internet service (Wi-Fi), and 110-volt AC electric outlets. It carries only 36 passengers, compared with 56 seats on its standard coach buses.
The Gold Bus is expected to be in high demand from corporate travelers seeking an alternative to air travel or train, and Vamoose believes that its luxury service will appeal to any traveler who values comfort and amenities over lower cost service.
In an interview with LCT, founder and owner Sam Bluzenstein said the Gold-level service has gained in demand since Vamoose started it in 2010. The company started its standard motorcoach service in 2004.
Vamoose leases motorcoaches from DC Trails, a motorcoach comopany based in Washington, D.C. that offers all types of bus transportation, including city tours of famous landmarks and destinations. The company uses five buses during the week and 12 on weekends for its standard and Gold-level service levels. DC Trails runs a fleet of about 70 motorcoaches. Bus models used by Vamoose range from 2013 to 2015 MY Van Hools.
A one-way ticket on Gold-level service costs $50 per rider on weekdays, with last minute tickets rising to $60 once a bus reached half-full reservations. On weekends, tickets start at $60 per rider. The regular Vamoose bus service costs $30 per one-way ticket and $40 for last minute. Those ticket prices compare favorably with Amtrak tickets, which can cost $200 per person between washington and New York City, and similarly priced airline tickets between Reagan National and LaGuardia airports.
The average one-way bus trip takes about four to four-and-a-half hours without stops. That timespan also compares favorably with the total ground-transportation-TSA-check-and-air-travel time when flying between the two cities.
Passengers on the Gold buses are also offered complimentary bottled water and Mon-Sat copies of The New York Times, Bluzenstein said. All passengers are allowed to bring aboard their own food and drink.
Vamoose Bus was awarded "Best Bus to NYC" by Washingtonian Magazine in 2015.

Is Targeting Brain Inflammation the Key to Overcoming Alzheimer's Disease?
The last decade of research on Alzheimer's disease has been fraught with disappointment.
Years of concentration on a characteristic of the disease have ultimately led to no progress in treatment or prevention.
But next week, when top scientists gather in Los Angeles at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference, many will present research on a different goal: inflammation.
"The big breakthrough is that neuroinflammation is the target.It kills most of the nerve cells responsible for dementia," said Rudolph Tanzi, professor of neurology at Harvard University and director of the Massachusetts Department of Neurology. General Hospital.
Beyond the plates
The first research on Alzheimer's disease was focused on a target: clumps of proteins in the brain called amyloid plaques. When scientists studied the brains of deceased people with Alzheimer's disease, they found that brain tissue was filled with these plaques, which are still considered a hallmark of the disease.
But while research has repeatedly shown that amyloid plaques may play a role in Alzheimer's disease, this is not the only key to treatment.
Indeed, pharmaceutical companies Amgen and Novartis announced Thursday that their trial of a drug intended to block the production of amyloid plaques had failed. In fact, patients who received the drug have worsened. The Alzheimer's Association has qualified the result as "disappointing".
But according to Tanzi, tackling the plates once they are formed means you're too late. This is because amyloid develops very early in the process of Alzheimer's disease – even 20 years before the onset of the first symptoms. "Attacking amyloid in patients already suffering from dementia is like trying to stop a forest fire by blowing up a match," he said. It is the inflammation that allows the fire to become uncontrollable.
"If you want to take the plates, you have to do it early with early detection," Tanzi said. "I think it will be the future to prevent Alzheimer's disease, but for now, how to help the 5 million patients in this country? You need to put out the forest fire."
Turn off the fire
Tanzi is working with a Boston-based company, AZTherapies, to find existing drugs that can combat this neuroinflammation. Tanzi is the director of the company's Scientific Advisory Board and maintains financial ties with the company.
On the left, healthy brain tissue is filled with nerve cells, highlighted in green. Right, brain tissue showing signs of inflammation.Dr. Joseph Park, Dr. Rudy Tanzi
Part of AZTherapies' research is on a drug used to treat asthma, called Cromolyn, which targets inflammation in the lungs. The company has modified the drug so that it reaches the brain and tests it in combination with ibuprofen.
"This is one of the first tests to take a relatively safe drug … let's reformulate it, then ask if we disable neuroinflammation, can we extinguish the forest fire and, like a forest, let it grow back?" Tanzi said.
AZTherapies has recruited nearly 600 patients for this trial and is waiting for the results within a year or two. Still, it's still too early to suggest people take anti-inflammatory drugs to fight dementia. Drugs currently on the market do not reach the brain or cause other risks associated with long-term use, such as increased risk of heart attack, stroke and stroke. ulcer of the stomach.
AZTherapies is not the only company to move away from research on amyloid to focus on inflammation.
Neurotropic will present the research that will take place next week at the Alzheimer's Association conference on its drug, Bryostatin-1.
Bryostatin-1, initially tested as an anti-cancer drug, works by activating a protein involved in the brain's "wiring".
"It induces regeneration of lost wiring and synaptic networks, prevents neuronal death, and is very anti-inflammatory," said Dr. Daniel Alkon, president of Neurotropic.
Alkon told NBC News that in early studies of patients with Alzheimer's disease, those taking bryostatin-1 showed sustained cognitive improvement for at least a month after treatment.
"For us, this is the formation of new networks," said Alkon. "We believe that the way we used anti-inflammatory drugs as part of a comprehensive approach to survival-enhancing brain networks could be a breakthrough for the field."
The fact that inflammation plays a role in Alzheimer's disease is not a new idea – scientists have been studying its role for some time. In 2013, researchers at the Mayo Clinic published a study on post-mortem brains. All brains exhibited amyloid plaques and another hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, tau entanglements.
But only half of the patients had dementia when they were alive. The others were cognitively normal.
"The only thing that differentiated them was an inflammatory response.There were more inflammatory cells in the brain … in people with clinical dementia than in those who were clinically normal, again suggesting that inflammation is a mediator key here, "said Dr. Ronald Petersen. , neurologist at the Mayo Clinic, said.
The search for an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease will remain crucial as the number of patients – estimated at 5.8 million in the United States alone – is expected to increase to 14 million by 2050, according to Alzheimer's & # 39; s Association. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.
The memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease can be mild in the early stages of the disease. But over time, patients develop more serious confusion and memory loss, as well as changes in mood and behavior, disorientation, and difficulty speaking, swallowing, and walking.
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. The available treatments can only improve the quality of life and temporarily slow down the person's decline.
I have the impression that we finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Maria Carrillo, scientific leader of the Alzheimer's Association, is not prepared to call waste the last decade of research on amyloid. On the contrary, she said it helped scientists understand that it was not just amyloid and tau that mattered.
"Today's science tells us that there could be up to four or five other proteins that are not going to help, contributing to the cell death we live in in dementia." 39, Alzheimer's, "said Carrillo.
"It's important that we understand what it is and how to treat it with pharmaceuticals – that's where we need to go, a combined approach that can also include lifestyle changes, like the do other diseases, "she said.
Tanzi agrees. He suggests an approach that he calls SHIELD, an acronym for lifestyle factors that seem to help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. They understand:
good development to sleep habits
obtain a manipulate on stress
in interaction with friends
to do the exercise Daily
learning new skills
eat healthy diet
"It's never too early to start thinking about how to protect your brain," he said. He hopes that these lifestyle changes, as well as research on neuroinflammation, will have a marked impact on Alzheimer's disease.
"I have the impression that we are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel," said Tanzi. "We made mistakes, but these mistakes taught us where we need to move to the next."

Bajram Curri (Velika Kruša, Kosovo, 1862. — Dragobi, Albanija 29. ožujka 1925.) bio je kosovski odmetnik i političar, koji se borio protiv vlasti Osmanskog Carstva na teritoriji Kosovskoga vilajeta, a kasnije je bio vođa Kačaka na teritoriju Kosova i pobunjenik protiv kralja Zogua u Albaniji.

Početkom 1920.-ih godina bio je "najtraženiji albanski odmetnik s jedne i druge strane granice".

Sudjelovao je u pobunama Albanaca protiv vlasti Osmanskog Carstva. Za vrijeme Prvog svjetskoga rata organizirao je gerilske odrede poznate pod imenom Kačaci. Kada je poslije Prvog svjetskog rata nastala Kraljevina Albanija, Bajram Curri bio je ministar obrane. Pošto njegovi stavovi po pitanju Kosova nisu nailazili na razumijevanje kralja Ahmeda Zogua naredio je njegovo hapšenje. U ožujku 1922. godine Curri započinje pobunu protiv kralja Zogua.

Pokraj 1923. godine, na crnogorsko-albanskoj granici, pobratimio se, po starom običaju, s crnogorskim revolucionarom i "crvenim odmetnikom" Vukašinom Markovićem.

Opkoljen izvršava samoubojstvo 29. ožujka 1925.

Za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata, jedan partizanski bataljon na Kosovu zvao se "Bajram Curri".

Mjesto na kojem je bio opkoljen i na kojem je izvršio samoubojstvo (u to vrijeme Dragobi) danas nosi njegovo Bajram Curri.

BENNY > Bert de Naturál✌™ August 6, 2020 at 9:02am
100% spot on.
Frankie Fong August 5, 2020 at 4:41pm
Perhaps the club could of waited till the end of the year, its not as if he was going to be poached or inundated with offers, if the team fires and goes deep in the finals then give him a extension but what happens if the eels do nothing in the finals? What happens if they get humiliated in the finals? BA had a done a excellent job so far but he he still has a bit to prove.
CarloEEL2 > Frankie Fong August 5, 2020 at 4:53pm
Just who are you and where did you put Frankie !!!!!!
Poppa > CarloEEL2 August 6, 2020 at 8:18am
Frankie is in a pocket at the moment and will be with you shortly.
Mick > Frankie Fong August 5, 2020 at 6:13pm
Looks like the club want stability Fong, I think waiting for the end of the season would have been the right approach - Also with the Cowboys, warriors, broncos and dragons looking for a coach the club may have felt the need to act quickly.
Poppa > Mick August 6, 2020 at 8:23am
Well there is no coach from that group that I would want to coach Parra Mick. The only one I think has the potential is Adam O'Brien and he seems a very similar style to BA.
I think outside of Bellamy and Bennett and then Robinson....I can't think of another coach to take us in the direction required.
Keep in mind we are on a journey , that admin is looking top class, the playing group has to evolve out of mental disorders and this might ultimately rest with a player....a Smith or a Cronk style that is yet to evolve out of whats left.
Mick > Poppa August 6, 2020 at 8:33am
I think we need a coach like Bellamy,Trent Robinson or Hasler to take this squad to the next level Poppa - in terms of recruitment I can't see any gaps apart from adding an experienced hooker to compliment Reed. I think any top line coach would be best be attracted to the job along with HQ stability.
colin hussey > Mick August 6, 2020 at 9:51am
I think Hasler has lost some gloss, & a bit tarnished this year. Has had some notable injuries but so have the eels last year and this. Table shows us in a better position ATM both on ladder and stats.
Mick > colin hussey August 8, 2020 at 6:21pm
I dont see it that way, Manly have been hit harder than us injury wise. I don't understand the reason for the why we've been been so flat since the roosters game, anyway we have a great challenge v the storm should answer a few questions about BA and the team
Embers August 5, 2020 at 4:48pm
For me it's a good decision which will help give certainty to players already at the club as well as those who might be targeted to join the club for 2021 and 2022.
The "sack BA" brigade on here who can only be happy with a premiership will be sad until that day is delivered....but for me the improvement at the club is pretty hard to refute and BA is a large part of that improvement so why shouldn't he be rewarded with an extension?

Be Bold for Change–Empower Women, Empower Humanity
By Robert Watkins	Reprint | | Print |
Robert Watkins, is United Nations Resident Coordinator for Bangladesh
DHAKA, Bangladesh, Mar 6 2017 (IPS) - The world of work is changing for women across the globe and Bangladesh is no exception. Factors such as globalization, advancement in technology, and the digital revolution have ushered in new ways for women to enter into work. The theme for the International Women's Day, 8 March, 2017, focuses on "Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030" under which gender parity in the workforce is the critical prerequisite for inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
Robert Watkins
A McKinsey Global Institute report in 2015 found that $28 trillion could be added to the global GDP by 2025 if women, who make up half of the word's work-age population, were to achieve their economic potential. Gender parity at work is a global economic challenge but efforts at a national level can make a significant difference. While there is a general consensus regarding the urgent need to increase women's participation in the workforce and acknowledge their contributions to the global economy, we are still far from creating an economy that allows all women to realize their potential free from discrimination or threat of violence and sexual harassment.
Bangladesh has made great strides in improving the lives of women and girls. In the last decade, poverty has been slashed by half; nearly 90 percent of girl children are enrolled in schools; child mortality has reduced by 60 percent. Moreover, Bangladesh's commitment to the global 2030 roadmap and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has placed gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls at the heart of its gender-responsive agenda. The Government's Vision 2021 as well as the Seventh Five-Year Plan prioritizes this agenda and we must applaud their bold leadership in pursuing progress, persistently and creatively, for inclusive economic growth. However, challenges such as poor working conditions, rising incidences of gender-based violence, rapid and unchecked urbanization, limited access to basic social services, and climate change continue to disrupt the progress made towards women's economic empowerment.
In Bangladesh, the ready-made garment sector remains one of the most important drivers of women's ability to engage in paid work. Earlier studies have shown that women make up approximately 80 percent of their workforce, but more recent trends suggest that female participation may actually be less than 60 percent. The 2016 National Labor Survey results should shed important light on the overall status of women in the economy. The survey results, upon release, will hopefully initiate a widespread debate around the necessary gender-responsive action required to increase the participation of women across all sectors.
In spite of encouraging signs of improvement in the formal economy, women continue to face enormous challenges in building sustainable and empowering livelihoods. Women migrant workers from Bangladesh – over 169,000 in the last three years alone, as per the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – are commonly subjected to multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and exploitation due to inadequate standards for accountability and vigilance, legal channels and compact focusing on their rights, voice, and leadership. Similarly, in the RMG sector women earn, on average, 45 percent less than their male counterparts and usually do not have the knowledge, skills or opportunities to grow their incomes or savings. In addition, the constant threat of gender-based violence both at home and at work creates barriers that prevent women garment workers from influencing or changing working conditions for the better.
One of the key measures to ensuring women's economic empowerment in the changing world of work is bridging the persistent gender pay gap. According to one estimate, this gap for women in waged labor in Bangladesh stands at 48 percent –almost double of the global 24 percent average. Closing this gap will require national-level policies and regulations, complimented by financial incentives, capability building, advocacy and awareness. We must also recognize women's unpaid contributions to the 'invisible' economy in the form of care and domestic work, as well as address the gender gap in leadership and entrepreneurship. National policies must address the overwhelming majority of women in the informal economy, promote access to innovative technologies and practices, introduce climate-resilient jobs, and create safe working environments for women.
Working alongside the Government and other partners invested in economic growth — the private sector, civil society organizations, and media — the United Nations is committed to improving and increasing women's representation and access to decent work. We are committed to enabling and facilitating access to services that level the playing field and increase the odds for women to fully and meaningfully enter, stay, and grow in their workplace.
In a world where women's prospects are blighted by regressive norms and attitudes, both men and women have to take a stand for meaningful change. If we are to reach Planet 50-50 by 2030, we have to collectively devise accelerators and implement both short and long-term measures that are viable and effective. The private sector, in partnership with government and non-governmental organization, can do a lot more to improve working conditions for women. There is ample evidence from around the world that companies stand to benefit both directly and indirectly by introducing measures that value and promote gender parity.
Today, on International Women's Day, we call upon all actors to step forward and work towards achieving Planet 50-50 by 2030. Let's commit publicly through platforms like the UN Women's He for She campaign (visit heforshe.org) to set ambitious yet achievable gender goals over the next five years. The Government of Bangladesh's Seventh Five-Year plan coincides with the first phase of the UN's SDGs and the timing couldn't be any better to collectively drive inclusive economic progress, emboldened by bold thinking and courageous leadership.
Join the movement, Be Bold For Change.

Wellness company Healthways, through its subsidiary MeYou Health, has completed a randomized control trial demonstrating that their own employees using their Walkadoo platform -- consisting of adaptable, tailored reminders -- and Fitlinxx Pebble activity trackers walked an average of 970 steps per day more than a control group with just the trackers.
Johns Hopkins physicians were also on the research team. The study was published online in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
The trial, which was randomized but not blinded, split 265 Healthways employees between the intervention and control groups, controlling for self-reported activity levels prior to the trial. They also gave participants a one-week shakedown period to eliminate any subjects that didn't consistently wear the tracker. They tracked users' steps over six weeks.
With Walkadoo, users track their steps with a pedometer or activity tracker, either a Pebble or another device they've purchased, like a Fitbit or Jawbone (for this trial, all participants were required to use a Pebble provided to them free of charge). The Walkadoo software uses that step data to suggest achievable goals that can adapt as the software learns more about the user's walking habits. Even if the user doesn't have a smartphone, Walkadoo can send them a daily step goal by email or text message. On the Walkadoo website, users can interact socially or engage in walking challenges in small groups.
In the Walkadoo intervention group, steps per day increased an average of 309 steps over the six week period. For the control group, steps per day decreased by an average of 661 steps. Researchers theorize that just having the trackers may have boosted the control group's initial step count (the so-called sentinel effect) and the drop could reflect a regression to baseline. Alternately, the timing of the study, between summer and fall, could have corresponded to a natural drop in activity.
The biggest potential bias in the study is the use of Healthways' own employees, a population that could have a vested interest in proving out their own product, as well as being generally more interested in wellness than the average person. Researchers also recognized the relatively short follow up period — six weeks — noting that "sustainability of the effect remains to be demonstrated".

AL Notes: Red Sox, Odorizzi, Tigers, Grossman, Duvall, Mazara, Orioles, Sulser (www.mlbtraderumors.com)
| January 6, 2021 at 9:51am CDT
The Red Sox are showing "serious interest" in right-hander Jake Odorizzi, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com tweets. This isn't the first link between the two sides, who were connected in the rumor mill just a few weeks ago. Odorizzi endured a subpar, injury-shortened 2020 with the Twins, but he is an accomplished starter who has ties to Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom. The hurler pitched in Tampa Bay from 2013-17, when Bloom was part of the Rays' front office. Odorizzi had a good run with the Rays during those years and continued to pitch well in Minnesota from 2018-19. Based on what the 30-year-old Odorizzi has done so far, he would be a welcome addition to a Boston rotation that's in dire need of help. Elsewhere…
The Tigers signed Robbie Grossman on Tuesday, but fellow outfielders Adam Duvall and Nomar Mazara were on their radar before then, Jason Beck of MLB.com tweets. Both Duvall and Mazara became available when their respective teams (Braves, White Sox) non-tendered them last month. Neither player performed as well as Grossman did in 2020, however. Grossman's tool aren't flashy, but he's a smart player who takes what he's given. He owns a .359 OBP across the last six seasons, a skill he flashed again last season with a solid 10.9 percent walk rate. He also avoids mistakes in the field: as Beck points out, Grossman's 231-game active errorless streak ranks second among outfielders. It should be noted, Grossman's total package brings a decidedly different skill set from either Duvall or Mazara, both of whom are known more for their power.
The Orioles have reason to believe Cole Sulser can return to form as the guy they installed as their early-season closer in 2020, writes Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com. The 30-year-old Sulser was a casualty of a roster crunch in Tampa, and the Orioles benefited by claiming him off waivers. The season started well for Sulser as he became a multi-inning weapon for manager Brandon Hyde, but in a freak accident at home, Sulser broke some toes on his right foot. It wasn't enough of an injury to keep him from the diamond, but perhaps it should have been as he struggled with his command the rest of the way. Sulser finished with a 5.56 ERA/4.91 FIP/5.87 SIERA and an unsightly 17 percent walk rate. Back at full health, the Orioles expect Sulser to once again be a weapon for them out of the pen.

Brent Dean Robbins, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology, served as co-author and guest editor of the March 2017 special issue of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology, which focused on alternatives to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) approach to psychiatric diagnosis.
For the past six years, Robbins has taken a leading role in the organization of public commentary on criticisms of the DSM-5 through his work with the Society of Humanistic Psychology, Division 32 of the American Psychological Association.
"Many human service organizations have raised concerns about major problems with the DSM-5, including a lack of scientific reliability and validity, among other things," explained Robbins.
According to Robbins, an international diagnostic summit on this topic of concern was held in Washington, D.C., in 2014. Since then, one of the projects that emerged was a series of special issues in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology dedicated to exploring alternatives to psychiatric diagnosis.
"We just published the first issue of this series and four more special issues are at press," Robbins said.
He added: "Our efforts have been endorsed by more than 50 international organizations, and have been supported by over 15,000 signatures of mental health professionals through an online petition. We want to continue to keep this issue at the forefront."

Uppsala läns vapen är identiskt med vapnet för landskapet Uppland. Uppsala län utgör endast en del av landskapet, men användandet av det oförändrade landskapsvapnet för länet har hävd sedan 1700-talet och fastställdes därför av Kungl. Maj:t (regeringen) den 17 november 1939.

Länsvapnet skall inte i sig självt krönas av någon krona, men när vapnet står för länsstyrelsen kan det krönas med kunglig krona, eftersom det då representerar en statlig myndighet. När vapnet står för landskapet Uppland kan det däremot krönas med en hertigkrona, vilket således är den enda skillnaden som finns mellan läns- och landskapsvapnen, och då någon krona inte alltid finns på plats kan man alltså inte alltid veta om vapnet skall stå för landskapet eller länet.

Background: Heliotropium peruvianum L., popularly known as "Heliotrope" in English, is a trailing plant belonging to the family Boraginaceae. The leaves and young aerial parts are used as medicine in headache, tension in inner canthus, pressure in the pit of stomach and sternum, uterine displacement and dysmenorrhoea. Objective: Pharmacognostic and Physico-chemical studies were carried out to facilitate use of correct species and standard raw material to ensure uniformity. Materials and Methods: Pharmacognostic studies of leaf and young stem of Heliotropium peruvianum were carried out. Physico-chemical parameters of the raw drug, viz., extractive values, ash values, formulation, besides weight per milliliter, total solids, alcohol content, along with high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) and ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) studies were worked out for mother tincture. Results: The leaves are elliptically long, dark green above and silvery white beneath. The sides of epidermal cells of leaf in surface view are straight to curved and wavy on the adaxial side and wavy to sinuate on the abaxial side. Papillate cells occur on the adaxial side. Stomata are few, anomocytic and restricted to the abaxial side. Unicellular conical and uniseriate conical hairs with thick walls occur on the leaf. In transverse section (TS), the leaf at midvein is shield like, slightly ridged on the adaxial surface and prominently ribbed towards the abaxial surface. Epidermal cells on the adaxial side are larger and interrupted by large encircling epidermal cells around trichomes. Parenchyma is four to five layered and often contains sphearaphides. The phloem also possesses sphaeraphidal idioblasts. The young stem is oval in TS. Vascular tissue form of a continuous ring. Conclusion: The powder microscopic features and organoleptic characters along with anatomical and Physico-chemical studies, besides HPTLC fingerprinting are diagnostic to establish the standards for the drug.

It may not look like it, but that was my Mother's Day present to Lisa - the kids on a bench, a long way away from her. I held them hostage at the park while she had an afternoon nap. And that's not E.T. in the background, it's Amelie's scooter. Although she often says "Ouch!" when she rides it.
Anyhoo, to be honest, this past week and a half has been a bit like one long Mother's Day, as we've spent a good ten or eleven days doing little things for Lisa's Mum. Mostly telling her to sit down, and shoving frozen peas in her face. But as of this weekend, our work as professional carers has come to an end, and the mother-in-law has gone home.
She returned to the Eye Hospital on Friday for her post-op check-up, and by the time she left, she was no longer in stitches. Although she was laughing a lot more. The doctor told her that further nose bleeds are unlikely, which is the kind of statement I wouldn't want to make without clamping both hands to the nearest bit of wood, and she left with a clean bill of health.
So on Saturday I did a bit of dawn-breaking overtime, then returned home and took Amelie down to Asda for some groceries to fill her Nanny's vastly depleted fridge. After lunch, I drove my mother-in-law home with some shopping and a new electric blanket, which I then fitted (with great difficulty, as it transpired) before driving Amelie over to Hove for her Musical Theatre Class. Or Colouring-In Session, as I like to call it. This week they made kites. Last time it was masks. If they spent as much time singing and dancing as they do on craft projects, she'd be in the West End by Christmas.
Anyhoo, I returned home for a bit of housework, then collected Amelie, stopped off at McDonalds, came back for more hoovering, and finally made it into bed, before realising that if I'd gone into work at midnight, I could have claimed for an extra hour's overtime when the clocks went forward.
Sadly I didn't think of that, so I got up early on Sunday with the kids, and spent a couple of hours preparing Lisa's Mother's Day gifts, which included framed photos of them both, a heart-shaped crumpet and some Belgian Marc de Champagne Truffles. I'm not sure who Marc is, and why he's getting his Champagne from Belgium, but Lisa seemed to like them. Although Amelie tried one, and said it was so horrible it made her ear hurt.
It's a fine line between role model and bad influence, and it's hard for Toby to look up to her if she's always flat on her face. But judging by the dancing at the end, that Musical Theatre Class isn't entirely in vain.
I think she's got nearly as many lives as a cat.
