Cafes in Conversation
4th May 2019 at Wairarapa TV May Music Marathon
I wrote this in 1999, after moving to Wellington. I was at an open mic night, at an upstairs bar in Cuba Mall that no longer exists, waiting for my turn to play. I had to wait a while – hence a lot of lyrics.
It was my attempt at a beat poet vibe, reflecting my move to the capital city and discovery of a local jazz scene. Read the rest of this entry »

in the non-idiomatic idiom in Norway
A few years ago I wrote a chapter of Jazz Aotearoa, a book about New Zealand jazz music history, discussing the free improvisation and avant-garde jazz scene in Wellington at the turn of the millennium.
in the non-idiomatic idiom in Norway is a collection of improvised instrumental music with some of the musicians in that scene, from the point of view of my own attempts as an untrained outsider to fit in with these advanced jazz players – including Jeff Henderson, Blair Latham, Paul Winstanley, Dan Beban, Julie Bevan and more.
It was partly recorded in 1999 and partly in 2014, to show an evolution. An easy way to tell them apart is that Simon O'Rorke played percussion on all the 1999 tracks and synthesiser on all the 2014 ones.
Simon O'Rorke – percussion, synthesisers
Paul Winstanley – synth bass
Blair Latham – alto sax, bass clarinet
Jeff Henderson – clarinet
Bridget Kelly – tenor sax
Dan Beban – electric guitar
Julie Bevan – acoustic guitar
Michael Hall – alto sax
Chris Prosser – violin
Dave Edwards – electric and acoustic guitars, bass, electronics, tenor sax

dAdApApA: Waiting for the Drummer
A companion to The Marion Flow, recorded in 1999 by the same lineup who provided that album's longest (and least conventionally song-based track, pointing the way towards the increasingly radio-unfriendly Mantis Shaped and Worrying), "Lucifer Directing Traffic (at 3AM)"
Recording engineer Paul Winstanley, head of the excellent, now San Francisco-based avant-garde music label Eden Gully recalls it thus:
"after recording tracks for The Marion Flow at Wafer HQ in New Plymouth an ad hoc group of associated locals assembled to record for several sessions of improvised rock/noise deconstruction. really, the only rock references here come from the guitars, with the sputtering synth, air-sucking turntables, didgeridoo and sundry toys providing layers of surreal abstraction. throw in some spoken word and a special guest appearance by N.P. record mogul Brian Wafer on vacuum cleaner and the dAdApApA nova had blazed and fizzled in the blink of an eye.
"it wasn't until several years later after the master mixes had been lost, partially recovered and then rediscovered intact again that "Waiting for the Drummer' was given a final mastering and released as a CDR on EdenGully. it's been a long strange journey….."
released 01 August 2006 on Eden Gully as EG15
Fiff Dimension Dave – guitars, spoken word and furbie / Speed Cook – turntables and recording / Pal Diddly – synth and pithy observations / The Digitator – guitar, didgeridoo / BWafer – vacuum cleaner and coffees
The Marion Flow
"It's lo-fi, organic and about as eclectic as one could manage. Kind of reminds me of Nick Cave if he had grown up in Timaru. No pretentious American accents or catch phrase choruses, just a bunch of people making music. A little beauty!" – NZ Musician, August/September 2002
Turn-of-the-milennium fusion of warm acoustic pop, spoken word and postpunk discord. An almost-acknowledged New Zealand classic – of its time yet timeless.
$5 download includes hidden tracks, lyrics and original CDR artwork.
"Edwards' music is often a sculpture rather than a melodic composition. Within this chosen form, amongst all the writings rantings & poetry there's much difficult pleasure to be had for the musically adventurous." – Brent Cardy, Real Groove, July 2002
Produced by Paul Winstanley, & featuring Chris O'Connor (drums), Chris Palmer (electric guitars), Simon O'Rorke (percussion), the Dadapapa Magickclone Orchestra and more. Recorded at the TFC Lounge, New Plymouth, 1999, and Thistle Hall, Wellington, 2001.
A companion to this album, recorded at the same sessions in Taranaki in 1999 is DDPP: Waiting For the Drummer]
Gleefully Unknown: 1997-2005
"Whilst shopping from fiffdimension make sure to get hold of 'Gleefully Unknown', a best-of compilation of Dave Edwards' music from 1997 to 2005. Rough outsider folk-blues mysteries, dissonant rock textures, electric and acoustic improvisations…
"Edwards strikes me as one of the most overlooked musicians from the fertile lands of New Zealand and if you need a fresh start this might very well be the place." – Mats Gustafsson, The Broken Face
Now available from Spotify, Bandcamp etc

How to Start Getting Rich
Now in the first article in this occasional series, I stated that, in my opinion, the first steps to getting rich were as follows.
- Get a job if at all possible – any job if necessary but get regular money coming in;
- Spend less than you earn at all costs, no matter how low your standard of living has to get;
- Save the surplus in an interest-bearing account;
- Keep some savings set aside for emergencies: things go wrong all the time. Most people need to work towards having a few months' living expenses set aside;
Basically, the idea is to be generating a cash surplus at all times. If you do not have any spare cash, you cannot invest in your future in any way other than, possibly, free education or apprenticeships of some sort (and at current highly inflated prices, with loans that double even those amounts when repayments are taken into account, the value of College education has become questionable, in my opinion).
Getting a JobFor most people, the main way to get money coming in is to have a job – the better paid, the better, usually – except when it is the sort of job that forces you to spend lots of your own money to impress your clients, so that you waste most of what you earn, of course: I'm a bit skeptical of the position many apparently well-paid lawyers find themselves in, from this perspective. It is no use earning a lot if you are constantly overspending. Wealth comes from what you keep, not from what you earn. If your plan is to get out of the rat-race, rather than to have a good career, then it doesn't matter too much just what the job may be, as long as it pays enough for you to live on, plus any amount on top of that. If you want a good career, well, fine, but be warned that many careers are not all that stable: I chose the IT industry – a mistake, I think, as it changes far too quickly for me to keep up with, with companies coming and going like mayflies at a banquet, and my financial position has always been unstable as a result (and as a result of my not knowing any better how to manage my finances in the past).
My personal view is that any job that you can do, will do. This is easiest to accept, of course, when you are just leaving College or school, and don't have too many living expenses. You can share digs with friends and keep the extortionate rents down by splitting the costs between you. Many immigrants or itinerant workers do this too: two or three families will rent a flat between them. It may be crowded, but it is very cheap and they can save a fortune in 5 years or so with nothing more than hard work and patience: I know one guy who worked in IT for 5 years then went back to South Africa and bought a whole farm. Another was a builder here for 5 years then went back to Poland and bought his own 11-bedroom hotel. This method can apply anywhere in the world, but it is especially efficient in expensive cities like London, for example.
If you don't have that opportunity, or you are married and the missus won't accept it (can you rent out a spare room to a student maybe?), you will just have to save at a slower rate and possibly seek higher-paying work: but without some surplus cash at the end of each month, you are going nowhere.I have written about getting a job quickly elsewhere, but the key to it, it seems to me, is the mind-set with which you enter the job hunt. I have to say that most people, myself included in the past, tend to just look at a few ads, or today we look online, send off a few half-hearted applications, collect some unemployment or other welfare benefits, and fail to get any job for months and months on end. We can prove to the unemployment people that we're looking for work, but in reality, this isn't the way to do it – or at best, it's a long shot. The point is, it is not about looking for a job, or finding a "suitable" job: it is about getting a job, any job, and quickly. The proactive mind-set is vital if you are to stop wasting money, and your life, pretending to look for work. If your long-run goal is financial independence, it really doesn't matter too much what the job is: it is a vehicle, a stepping-stone towards a brighter future, and nothing more.
The entire purpose of a job from this perspective is just those few pennies you have left over at the end of each month. No surplus equals no future.

Yes. Thems my people.

We love you very much.

Personal income in August fell 0.1 percent — the first drop since October 2009 — as the wobbly economic recovery continues. Despite the decrease, spending rose by 0.2 percent, following a 0.7 percent gain in July and a 0.2 percent drop during June.
The headline is disheartening, but it misses a larger point: income growth in the U.S. has been slowing for quite some time. According to the Wall Street Journal, real disposable income "averaged 4.5 percent annual growth in the 1960's, 3.7 percent in the 1970's, about 3 percent in the '80's and '90's and only 2.5 percent last decade." This year income growth is just over 1 percent, as the economy has stalled out.
A grim picture, but the historic context provides clues as to how consumers ended up with piles of debt and reduced means to pay down that debt. As income growth slowed, the housing and credit bubble of the last decade allowed many Americans to borrow to supplement their stagnating wages. (Please hold back your judgment on this statement-just trying to establish a fact pattern.) All of that consumer spending-on-steroids accounted for a good portion of the dot-com bust recovery. But the price was steep: in the post-Great Recession years, consumers are using whatever income they have to reduce debt and beef-up savings.
As consumers take a rational approach to their own financial lives, it creates vicious cycle: less spending is a drag on overall growth, which keeps a lid on job creation and income growth, which in turn, makes consumers cautious and focused on paying-down debt and saving. Unfortunately, as personal incomes drop, many are forced to dip into their savings. In August, the saving rate fell to 4.5 percent, the lowest level since December 2009.
The sobering data reinforces what we all know: the recovery feels almost as bad as the bust itself. Not a great way to start the fourth quarter, but at least we have post-season baseball as a much-needed diversion.

Online Gambling Law in India
Online gambling laws in India are vague and open to interpretation. Ask 50 different people about the legality of betting in India and you'll get 50 different answers. On this page, we'll attempt to give you a thorough but concise overview of the current legal situation.
Gambling is regulated in India at the national and state levels. On the national stage, gambling is mostly addressed by two or three acts depending on who you ask:
- The Public Gambling Act of 1867
- Prize Competition Act, 1955
- The Information Technology Act of 2000 (maybe)
Online gambling isn't specifically mentioned in any of these acts so it resides in a grey area of the law. Some could argue that the Public Gambling act of 1867 applies to online gambling since it restricts all forms of "gambling." Additionally, there's the problem that "gambling" itself is never defined by the act.
The states also have the authority to regulate gambling to a degree. Two states, Goa and Sikkim, have authorized a limited number of brick-and-mortar casinos. The other states outlaw most forms of gambling, betting, and poker. The one nationwide exception is horse racing betting, which the Supreme Court ruled was a game of skill in 1996.
Although most forms of real-world gambling are banned in India, there are no legal means for prosecuting those who choose to place their bets online. For that reason, India is a fast-growing market for online gambling. With 1.2 billion inhabitants and a growing middle class, India shows great potential for e-gaming operators.
Offshore betting sites such as Bet365 have already entered the market and cater to Indians. At Bet365, you may deposit with Indian rupees and are welcomed to register and play all games from India. Bet365 resides outside of India and is therefore safe from the laws that ban the operation of gambling websites. And since there are no laws that prohibit individual people from placing bets online, Bet365 is able to take advantage of the legal loophole.
The Public Gambling Act of 1867
The Public Gambling Act of 1867 made it illegal to run a gaming house or be found in one. The act describes a gaming house as "any house, walled enclosure, room or place, playing or gaming with cards, dice, counters, money or other instruments of gaming or is found there present for the purpose of gaming, whether playing for any money, wager, stake or otherwise." The penalty for being caught in one is up to a month in jail.
This act predates the internet by well over a hundred years so there's a good deal of debate as to whether or not it applies to online gambling. Does a website count as a "place" where instruments of gaming are present? It depends on who you ask.
Further complicating matters, an amendment in 1976 added the following text:
"In section 6, for the words "house, walled enclosure, room or place" wherever they occur, the words "house, room, tent, enclosure, space, vehicle, vessel or place" shall be substituted."
The question remains: does the internet count as a "vehicle, vessel or place?" The 1976 amendment also predates the internet, but it could be interpreted as applying to the internet.
Additionally, there's no ironclad definition of the word "gambling." The closest the Public Gambling Act of 1867 comes to defining "gambling" is in section 12:
"Act not to apply to certain games.—Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Act contained shall be held to apply to any game of mere skill wherever played."
Prize Competition Act, 1955
The Prize Competition Act, 1955 seems to address a very specific type of gambling, but it has been interpreted as applying to all forms of gaming in which a prize is awarded. In short, the act bans prize competitions in which the prizes exceed a thousand rupees a month.
The act defines "prize competition" with the following text:
"'prize competition' means any competition (whether called a cross- word prize competition, a missing- word prize competition, a picture prize competition or by any other name) in which prizes are offered for the solution of any puzzle based upon the building up, arrangement, combination, or permutation of letters, words, or figures."
The Information Technology Act of 2000
The Information Technology Act of 2000 is even more difficult than the other two acts described above, because it's so broad in scope. This act still causes a great deal of controversy today due to its vague wording and harsh punishments for a wide range of infractions.
Like the other two acts on this page, the Information Technology Act doesn't specifically mention online gambling. However, the following text could be interpreted to apply to internet wagering. No internet betting cases have yet to be tried under the act, so we don't yet know if it applies to gambling or not. We will have to wait and see.
The most controversial portion of the act is also the part that may or may not apply to online gambling:
"Sending offensive message through electronic means - Sending any information through an electronic message that is grossly offensive or has menacing character and might cause insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred, or ill will, etc. or sending such mail intended to deceive or to mislead the addressee or recipient about the origin of such messages"
A violation of this portion of the act may result in imprisonment for up to three years and an unspecified crime. The Bombay High Court has already ruled that this act can be applied to content published on websites.
Could online gambling be considered a message that may cause insult, injury, or ill will? Does it fall under the comically vague "etc."? We don't know. So far, we have yet to read about anyone being charged with placing bets under the law.
What This All Means
In summary, gambling laws in India are confusing, poorly written, and haphazardly enforced. The reality of it all for online gambling specifically is that people across India bet online every day. There are no laws that criminalize the mere act of placing a few bets online. If you live in India, you have access to a wide range of internet casinos, sportsbooks, and poker rooms.
There's no reason to limit yourself from enjoying the excitement and convenience provided by gaming websites. In most locations, betting over the internet is safer than doing it in person. Millions of Indians already gamble online and have had no legal issues to date.
The one bit of caution we would recommend is to look into the laws in your area. Indian gaming law makes little sense and is enforced at random. You should always check with the local authorities before you place real money bets anywhere.

Privacy, Confidentiality and Rehabilitation
Too often the overwhelming guilt or shame stops a person seriously in the grips of drug or alcohol addiction, but that doesn't have to be the case. In all likelihood, it's the fear of public exposure more than anything that keeps you or your loved one from seeking the help necessary to overcome and recover. You don't have to be afraid of that. Everyone has a right to confidential substance abuse treatment, and when you call us you'll open the door to a world of discretion, understanding and effective treatment.
You Deserve Privacy
We have made it our mission to match people suffering with drug and alcohol addiction to the very best treatment center possible, with the confidence that through personalized care and treatment, they will leave the rehab facility a new man or woman. That said, sometimes the most important factor during recovery is privacy. Why should only famous movie stars with deep pockets be able to convalesce with the assurance that the outside world won't interfere in their treatment? In fact, that is definitely not the case. We understand how vulnerable the patient is when he or she finally admits they need help, and our incredibly compassionate and caring placement counselors have the experience and sincerity to provide for you the best possible match in your search for a private drug or alcohol rehab center.
It makes obvious sense that patients who exist within their recovery community free from outside influences and in-tune with their own bodies and minds will walk a straighter path toward ending their substance abuse. Their focus and intent will be clearer and the dread commonly associated with public health facilities can be laid to rest. We can connect you with a rehabilitation center that will make you feel comfortable, cared for and secure. Detox and withdrawal cannot be sugar-coated: they are difficult, sometimes ugly, but they are necessary. Commit yourself to recovery with confidence in your facility's discretion, especially at the most harrowing moments of your stay. Open up to the staff who is there to help you heal, be assured that when you hold nothing back, you need also fear nothing, not a word leaving the privacy of your session.
Achieve Lasting Recovery
We fully comprehend you or your loved one's intense desire for privacy. Public hospitals and outpatient facilities are too open when you are ridden with fear and depression. Further, without proper funding, patients in public areas can sometimes lack state-of-the-art equipment provided in private centers, which means they are not getting the best possible treatment. Our professional and discreet counselors share your appreciation for privacy and will always hold up your standards of discretion to any facility they recommend. It's no accident that the drug and alcohol rehab centers to which we direct patients can boast significant successes the world over for their privacy and modesty. Put your mind at ease on that account while you settle in and take on the task at hand: recovering from your addiction and finding lasting healing.

How-To: Fabric Lined Drawers
Okay, so I loved how my fabric lined drawers turned out SO much that I just had to share with you how I accomplished the look!
I mean, why just admire the awesome photos of Pinterest homes when you could live in your own Pinterest worthy home? It really isn't hard as long as you're willing to get creative put in the extra work.
The great thing about lined drawers is that you can go as crazy colorful as you want because they won't always be open...unless you have a tendency to leave drawers open. This is a no judgement zone, but I think it'll be hard to want to shut these drawers!
Okay, let's get to it. Here's what you'll need:
First you'll want to iron your fabric to make sure you have no creases or folds before applying the Mod Podge. Not only do creases look bad and like you've cut a few corners to finish faster, but they can also mess up your measurements by making the fabric seem shorter than it really is.
Next you'll want to make sure your fabric print is face down so that you can mark your cuts on the backside. By doing this, you'll avoid having pencil marks on the side visible if you tend to stray from the cutting lines like I do.
TIP: Measure your drawer twice before making a cut. If you're too short, that fabric cut is ultimately ruined (unless of course you don't mind the shortage).
Lay your fabric in the drawer just as you want it placed when finished. I found it extremely handy to keep the fabric in place by using a binder clip while I attached the fabric to the first side of the drawer.
I would highly recommend working only small areas at a time because the mod podge dries quickly. It's also a lot easier to smooth out any bumps if you can focus on one spot at a time.
With the binder clip still holding your fabric in place, lift the loose flap and apply a layer of mod podge to the drawer. Slowly smooth your fabric onto the drawer side, working out any bumps as you go.
Continue this process all the way around your drawer until you've wrapped every inch you want covered. For this project, I wanted the beautiful pop of color to be seen on both the inside and outside of the drawers.
Let the drawers dry for about 2 hours and then apply a layer of mod podge to the fabric, giving it a hardened finish.
Let dry overnight for the best results.
There ya have it! I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial enough to try it on your own piece of furniture. Please be sure to share photos, questions, or just say 'hi' in the comments below!

Half a century after Michael Polanyi conceptualised 'the tacit component' in personal knowing, management studies has reinvented 'tacit knowledge'—albeit in ways that squander the advantages of Polanyi's insights and ignore his faith in 'spiritual reality'. While tacit knowing challenged the absurdities of sheer objectivity, expressed in a 'perfect language', it fused rational knowing, based on personal experience, with mystical speculation about an un-experienced 'external reality'. Faith alone saved Polanyi's model from solipsism. But Ernst von Glasersfeld's radical constructivism provides scope to rethink personal tacit knowing with regard to 'other people' and the intersubjectively viable construction of 'experiential reality'. By separating tacit knowing from Polanyi's metaphysical realism and drawing on Benedict Anderson's concept of 'imagined communities', it is possible to conceptualise 'imagined institutions' as the tacit dimension of power that shapes human interaction. Whereas Douglass North claimed institutions could be reduced to rules, imagined institutions are known in ways we cannot tell.

CREHST museum will close Jan. 31
The CREHST museum in Richland will close Jan. 31 as a final step in the transition to the Hanford Reach Interpretive Center.
The Environmental, Science and Technology Foundation, which operates the Columbia River Exhibition of History, Science and Technology, met this week and set the date for the closing, said Lisa Toomey, interim director for CREHST, in a news release.
The closure a few months before the opening of the Reach center is necessary to allow the orderly transition of displays and materials to the Reach center and to allow CREHST staff the time needed for final disposition of the CREHST collection, the release said.
The CREHST staff has been inventorying and tagging the museum artifacts for the past six months, said Toomey.
The foundation hired a consultant to help staff decide what to move to the Reach center, what to give to other nonprofits and what needed to be returned to original donors.
And that's why the foundation board decided to close CREHST several months before the Reach center opens July 1 at the west end of Columbia Park.
"We need the time to concentrate on sorting and returning," Toomey said.
CREHST was created in 1996 and a main focus has been telling the story of the Manhattan Project and the Hanford nuclear reservation.
Museum leaders decided some time ago to begin integrating CREHST into the Reach center once construction began.
Reach officials hope to move into the facility in March, with exhibits starting to come in around that time too. The center will officially open with a series of events and activities in July.

LA is definitely a sprawl! Its very different from the tiny 7×7 square miles that is San Francisco. And despite the light smog, the weather was gorgeous in LA.
I've noticed going on a trip with Chris is totally different than going on a trip with my cousins. With my cousins, we are primarily focused on one thing – food! Every time I go away with them, I come back five pounds heavier. Thankfully trips with Chris balances out the binge eating. With Chris, the focus is less on finding the best hole-in-the-wall burrito or snagging reservations at a Top Chef restaurant, but on finding the best sights and things to do.
Here are some highlights from LA:

The outside gardens are also worth exploring. There is a maze of 400 azalea plants that lie beneath a wall of cascading water. We had lunch on the terrace that overlooks all of this and it was really pretty.

If Shel Silverstein, Ogden Nash, and the creators of Mad magazine held an open-mic audition, hal evans and Kevin Pope would steal the show.
Plum Street Publishers has acquired world rights to If I Weren't Me: A Menagerie in Poetry by hal evans, a poet, playwright, actor, and teacher. Through interactive performances, workshops professional development and presentation, evans brings curricula to life for 60,000 students and teachers annually.
Illuminated with zany mashups by illustrator Kevin Pope, evans leads his readers through a poetic menagerie, marching through a language-arts funhouse and adopting stances ranging from droll to comical to clever.
As they engage in evans' infectiously zany wordplay, kids respond in kind, blissfully unaware that they are absorbing poetic structure, form, and technique.

Jarnaurris Holmes is 21 and trying to figure out how his life took such a wrong turn.
Home these days is the Orange County Jail, where he landed in March for violating probation. It was the latest of seven arrests that began soon after he graduated from high school, escalating from loitering to selling drugs, fleeing arrest and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
The sentencing for his springtime arrest comes next month.
"My family was very disappointed in me," he says. "They expected a lot more. I felt like I let them down by being foolish, by the choices I made."
Raised by his mother and her parents in Orlando's predominantly black Tangelo Park, Holmes earned decent grades and played sports in school. To get a college scholarship paid for by Orlando hotelier Harris Rosen, all he had to do was graduate high school and stay out of trouble.
But in 12th grade, he says, he started caring more about being popular among "the inner crowd." By the time he walked across the stage to claim his diploma, he was bored by the classroom and tired of being told what to do. He wanted to be his own man, though what that meant at 18 wasn't entirely clear.
"I feel like, as black men, that's a lot of our problem," he says. "We feel like we have to fit in, I guess, and try to be something we're not. There are gangs all over that influence [us] to do things that just aren't us, that are driving us to do things we ought not."
He doesn't blame growing up poor. He doesn't blame not having his dad in his life. His grandfather, who served in the military and then worked 30 years for the U.S. Postal Service, was all the father figure he says he needed.
Holmes blames himself.
He still hopes that, whenever he gets another chance, he can do better. He still hopes to have his own business, maybe a little landscaping company, and take some college courses.
"I have a strong support system behind me, so I feel like things will eventually work out," he says.
Even behind bars, though, he can serve a purpose.
These days, he says, he is a cautionary tale to his 14-year-old brother.

Jaffa, Israel – As our travels continue it may become very obvious that I am a sucker for a good walking tour. I love hearing about the history of the places and find that a walking tour at the beginning of a trip can you give a good idea of what else to see and research during that trip.
When I found out we were going to Israel I promptly looked up tours and found this amazing free tour of Jaffa ,a 4500 year old city located just down the beach from Tel Aviv.
It is hard to decide which stories about the city to share in its long history so much has happened there. I have included some pictures and stories of the beautiful city.
The Tour met at the clock tower which unfortunately in under construction and we were unable to see the whole thing. However, our guide still told us the story of why this clock tower was built. The tower was built in 1900 for Ottoman Sultan Abd-al Hamid II's silver jubilee (25 years). This clocktower was one 100 built for the jubilee and only 7 still stand today.
At the time, there was a train station near where the clock tower was going to be built. A wealth Frenchman by the name of Joseph Moyal lived in the building with the red awning in the picture below. As one of the wealthiest men in Jaffa Mr Moyal owned a watch. Daily, people would knock on Mr. Moyal's door and ask him for the time so they would not miss their train. When the clock tower was going to be built Mr. Moyal agreed to fund a large portion of the tower hoping to stop these daily visits. However, upon the completion of the tower, it became apparent that the citizens could not tell time so the clocktower although beautiful did little to alleviate Mr. Moyal's daily visitors.
The picture below was built outside of the walls of Jaffa. The story behind its construction goes, the governor, Abu-Nabbut was locked out of the walls one night and had to spend the whole night on the beach out with drinking water. In the morning when the guards finally opened the door to the city Abu-Nabbut decided he would build this new entrance which provides drinking water to the people of Jaffa even if they are locked outside of the city. You can see that the lower three arches have spigots (also who knew this word was spelt this way?!) on them. These still work today, before eating lunch I washed my hands here and saw many people using it throughout the day.
We then headed into the narrow winding streets of Jaffa.
Along the ocean are the Andromeda rocks. The story behind these rocks comes from Greek Mythology. The story goes that King Cepheus and Queen Cassiope of Jaffa bragged about the beauty of their daughter Andromeda. They eventually offended Poseidon by saying Andromeda was more beautiful than his daughters. In revenge Poseidon sent a sea monster that attacked Jaffa and could not stop. The King and Queen sought the advice of an oracle who told them that in order to appease Poseidon they would need to sacrifice their daughter. Wanting to save their people the King and Queen agreed and tied Andromeda to a rock in the sea. Meanwhile, Perseus who was in love with Andromeda heard about this sacrifice and hurried to rescue Andromeda. He had just slayed Medusa and was in such a hurry to save Adromeda was still holding on to Medusa's head when he came to unchained Andromeda. While he was unchanging her the sea monster looked Medusa in the eye and turned to stone. These rocks are said to be the stone sea monster.
As we walked into the city we came upon a large wooden door written on top it reads "House of Simon the Tanner." This is the house of Simon the Tanner who St. Peter stayed with during his time in Jaffa. During this stay, St. Peter had a dream that lead him to begin to preach to a wider community (Acts 10:6).
Today an Armenian Christian family, the Zakarian's live in the house and have lived there for generations. The family is in charge of maintain the lighthouse you can see the picture on the right.
A side note, in Jewish law it is written that a woman married to a tanner (and a few other professions) can ask for a divorce because of the nature of the job, a tanner works with animal feces.
In 1799 Nepoleon having conquered much of North Africa moved north. On his way to Acre he passed through Jaffa and sieged the place. After successfully conquering the town he was left with many prisoner who he decided to have killed. Over 4,000 people include women and children were killed.
He moved him army north to Acre but here was stopped. Having lost he had to travel back into Jaffa. Having left over 4,000 bodies in the city he was greeted with a city full of disease and many of his men caught the plague. He decided to keep these men quarantine in the building you see in the picture below on the right. Napoleon decided to slip his men poison so they could not spread the disease.
The picture on the right is a paining of the incident called Bonaparte Visiting the Pesthouse in Jaffa by Antoine-Jean Gros (1804). In this painting Napoleon is depicted visiting the sick men and taking care of them.
Today this building is part of an Armenian Monastery called, Saint Nicholas Monastery.
Okay, I have bored you enough with the stories. Here are some quick shots from around Jaffa.
Egyptian Ruins dating back to the 16th century BC. There is a dig going on there this summer, you can volunteer to help.
Throughout Jaffa you can find zodiac signs. In the main square there is a fountain showing the signs as well.

Intelligent automation entering the business world
Automation using artificial intelligence might be the next game changer in terms of process efficiency in the financial industry.
Executive Summary
Robotic process automation or intelligent automation (the combination of artificial intelligence and automation) is starting to change the way business is done in nearly every sector of the economy. Intelligent automation systems detect and produce vast amounts of information and can automate entire processes or workflows, learning and adapting as they go. Applications range from the routine to the revolutionary: from collecting, analysing, and making decisions about textual information to guiding autonomous vehicles and advanced robots. It is already helping companies transcend conventional performance trade-offs to achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency and quality.
Until recently, robotics has found most of its applications in the primary sector, automating and removing the human element from the production chain. Replacing menial tasks was its first foray, and many organisations introduced robotics into their assembly line, warehouse, and cargo bay operations.
Now, tertiary sector businesses have already started to apply new technologies and the robotic paradigm to automate their processes and replace humans in low value-added activities. This is also the case in the financial services industry.

In hindsight, I guess I owe a lot to Brianna Contreras, the con artist.
A little back-story: for the past year, Contreras has attempted to get into multiple concerts under the guise that she works for San Diego CityBeat . She does not. Hear that, music promoters and venues? BRIANNA CONTRERAS DOES NOT WORK FOR CITYBEAT.
We found out about Brianna's latest con a couple weeks ago, when a publicist from Missing Piece Group let us know that Brianna was all set up to go to Yanni.
Now, if you're trying to use CityBeat's cred to score concert access, at least have good taste. Maybe I'm being judgmental, as I've never really listened to Yanni, but who under 80 years old has? For me, at least, the musician has been the ubiquitous epitome for New Age (aka bad) music, a punchline, and cursed to the annals of awkward family holiday parties and elementary art classes for eternity.
We told the publicist that Brianna didn't work for us. She thanked us and then replied: "PS: You wanna come see YANNI?"
Now, a free concert is a free concert. Not only would I be benefiting from Brianna's attempts to undermine our paper, but maybe—just maybe—I'd learn to be less prejudiced against Yanni* (*cue shitty sentimental music** [**Yanni]).
Flash forward to the week of the show. I'm sick. Like, sicker than I have been in years. I've descended to the Vicks VapoRub level of grossness (which I affectionately refer to as "The Rub"). I pass the illness on to my wife, who quickly harbors resentment. Not a sexy time in the old Bradford house, Dear Readers.
With all this downtime, I'm able to do a little research. Turns out that Yanni's a pretty interesting guy. He's an entirely self-taught musician who's become famous by making the music that he wants to make, eschewing popular trends, radio and MTV in the process.
He's also released an album this year, in the year of our lord 2016, called Sensuous Chill.
"Ew," my wife says, when I tell her the name of the album.
I give it a listen. Sensuous Chill has track names such as "Thirst for Life" and "Rapture" and other words I bet Sting has whispered huskily during the throes of tantric sex. It's not bad, just perfect in a forgettable way.
I'm not entirely sure what the dress code for a Yanni show is—it's at the Civic Theater, which commands a level of formality, so I decide wear a collared shirt, tucked in, but with the top button open as to convey my own sensuous chill. Compared to the previous days of feeling like a garbage human, the outfit feels downright sexy. Plus, the open collar allows The Rub to breathe.
Yanni's audience is the most well-dressed I've ever seen. Everyone looks like they could hire someone to kill someone else. It's also a packed house. I mean, not to belabor the point, Brianna, but our seats are amazing: center, about 7 rows up. Easily worth more than $100 each.
The lights dim. Members of the orchestra take their positions. And then, Yanni emerges. He jaunts across the stage. He wears a black turtleneck and pants. Classic Yanni attire, I think. His hair appears well-conditioned and flowing, thereby living up to all my expectations. His movements are like that of Pinocchio on the verge of becoming a real boy: bouncy, aloof, playful.
"Did he just frolic?" My wife whispers.
The stage lights shift to blue. This is the chill that we've all been waiting for. He opens with a soft, sultry number—foreplay, I guess, because I realize now that everything Yanni does on stage is vaguely sexual. The crowd goes nuts. I count no fewer than five women over 50 years old recording with their phones, which will stay out for the majority of the concert (remember this next time you feel the urge to bash millennials for being The Worst).
After the foreplay, Yanni kicks it into high gear. He spends the concert alternating between heavy, pulsing songs and delicate piano compositions. His likability is infectious, even when he's thrusting between two synthesizers assembled like a command console on a spacecraft. It's clear that his orchestra absolutely loves Yanni, and they treasure the moment when he calls upon them to perform a solo. He'll orchestrate with obscene hand gestures—coaxing the performance out, pushing the musician's limits, finger blasting the air until the performer is depleted of song. Then he allows them to take a seat, and he looks at the crowd with a smile, a "Did I do that?" earnestness.
"Would you love me more if I could shred on the harp?" my wife asks after watching the harpist lift his instrument and scratch it with the ferocity of a feral cat.
"No doy," I whisper.
He bows between every song, out of breath and flinging the sensual energy from his fingers.
"WE LOVE YOU, YANNI!" someone from the audience calls out.
"I love you too," he says, faux-bashfully.
"I'm breathing."
After the concert, the crowd stands outside and talks about their favorite songs. I realize it's one of the most diverse groups I've ever seen in San Diego. People speak in European languages that I don't recognize. Elderly people take selfies underneath the marquee. I'm not cured of the sickness, but it's the first time in awhile that I don't feel disgusting. I mentally thank Brianna for the date before my wife and I walk into the sensuous and chill night.

About Me
I'm Violet, and yes, I do love the colour purple (perhaps a little too much).
My purpose in life is pretty cliché – I love to bring joy to someone's day, make the world a better place. Or at least make it less frustrating, more hopeful. I see this realized regularly in my work as a UX designer, event producer and DJ; roles where harmony, delight and flow can be used to measure success.
I am driven by my curious, playful and analytical nature. I am passionate about discovery and use a healthy mix of communication, user research and visual thinking skills to help teams create people-friendly interactive experiences. My process is informed by a BA in Economics/Marketing, a post-grad certificate in Interactive Digital Media and professional experience as a graphic designer.
I am happiest when I have harvested insights which have allowed people and organizations to flourish. I am especially inspired by projects which propel innovative startups, social good, scrappy underdogs and win-win scenarios.

The rules are simple...there's a hat, this hat is filled with many questions ranging from the personal to the off beat. We pass the hat, and artists gets a chance to answer the question they choose from said hat. Fun is had by all.
We recently sat down with Nightly at their last stop in Philly a few months back. Originally from the area, the duo relocated to Nashville, singed to Interscope Records, released a the electro pop-tastic EP, Honest, and have been busy ever since.
Without further ado, here's our Chat in the Hat with Jon and Joey of Nightly:
Jon: What's your best party trick?
I don't think I have one…
Joey: I know what your go to party trick is. John's a dancer. John gets the party started.
I don't think that's a party trick?
Joey: Well to go from no dancing to dancing, that's kind of a party trick
Joey: Describe your new album with animals
I would say there is a definitely a good portion of orcas in it, the apex predator of the sea maybe you've heard of it. Huge fan of orcas. Also, there's probably a good amount of sloths in it, in terms of mellow-ness and good vibes. Also I would say the canine as well.
Jon: Why…just because everyone loves dogs?
Everyone loves dogs, and I love dogs a lot, and I love our music a lot.
Jon: What is your zombie apocalypse plan?
We're going to our Uncle Paul's he's like the doomsday guy. He has a ton of guns, he has his house prepped. He has a crow's nest and an RV fully outfitted, the food that lasts forever. He lives in a suburb of Nashville, so I'll just go there and beg to be saved.
Joey: What is your favorite 90's show?
Probably Seinfeld, that's an easy one. George Costanza is probably one of the best characters in the history of shows.
Jon: Favorite 90's album?
Well, Smash Mouth's "All Star" came out in '99 so there you go.
Jon: What is your favorite song / album right now?
It changes week to week. Right now I'd say "High" by Sir Sly or "Face Like Thunder" Japanese House. We've been listening to the new Kendrick album.
Joey: What isyour recording and writing process like?
John and I worked with a producer in LA called Keith Varon on this EP. Every time was different. John would come in with a lyric or melody idea and sometimes we would just vibe on guitar with some drum loops and see what we got. The best songs seem to happen like when John comes in with "oh what about 'I love you but I got to let go xo'" and we were like "ok cool". He had that idea and we wrote and tracked that song in like an hour and a half. So that's best case scenario but a lot of the time we just start with a guitar loop and just kind of vibe on it for awhile and add in some drums and synth stuff and see what comes out.
Jon: Outside of music what are you known for with your friends?
We have a pretty cool dog, Rocky. So that's probably what we're most famous for with our group of friends.
Joey: What's the stupidest thing you did in your teens to look cool?
Oh man there are so many. I definitely did the goth phase where I had the giantpants and the sex bracelets up my whole arm. I wanted to frost my tips but my mom wouldn't let me so we got this hair mascara to make them look frosted then it would just wash out. I could go on and on. I used to wear a fake magnet earring. My dad bought it as a joke, but then I wore it cause I thought it was cool. Never skateboarded my whole life, but went through that phase of wearing all skater gear.
Jon: Pick a new name, occupation, and hair style for your bandmates:
We have our drummer is Nick Sainato and his alter-ego is Rick Donato. He would own a grilled cheese truck cause he's super picky about grilled cheese. He would probably have the bald horseshoe look. Joe maybe would own a donut shop.
Joey: oh man a new name for Jon…
I think my name was almost Patrick
Joey: I was thinking maybe we would go far left with it and go with Florence Nightingale and you own some type of Burlesque bar and your have hair that you straighten down to your butt.
Joey: What is your guilty pleasure song?
I'm like the biggest Celine Dion fan. So any Celine Dion song. But obviously "My Heart Will Go On" will always own a special place in my heart.
Jon: What's your favorite thing about Philly?
I love everything about Philly. I'm not going to say the thing I miss the most is the people, cause that's corny. But I love how people are up here, it's just different that people in Nashville. If it came down to one thing it might be the Italian food, it's hard to find really good Italian in Nashville.
Joey: Worst job you've had
I've worked a lot of jobs. At one point I was working 5am-2pm as a waiter and then I was working like 3p- later as a landscaper. So that double job was probably the worst, but I didn't dislike any of them. I've always worked as a waiter, washed windows, worked at an arcade, that was dope.
Jon: What do you do to pass the time on the road:
Joey: We listen to a lot of podcasts and music. Jordan (our tour manager) and I, late at night we always do freestyle rap to keep ourselves going. We're really bad at it, but we have a good time, which is the important part. We watch a lot of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Late at night when we get into the hotel it's always on.
Joey: What were your first impressions of your bandmates?
Well Jon and I are cousins so we've been best friends since I remember. Stevie we met in college, he's really funny and smart. Nick I met at church, we met at a church service and I heard Nick play and we knew we had to get him.

Tournament Day
For over 40 years Tournament Day has been the South Coast Chapter's signature fundraiser. Going back to the 1970's, these early events were Tennis Tournaments held at various tennis facilities throughout the Orange County area. Over the past four decades, Tournament Day has shifted geographically (from Rossmoor/Seal Beach to Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Long Beach) as well as thematically (from Tennis Tournaments to Golf Tournaments to theme-oriented galas) Amidst these many shifts, the constant has been South Coast Chapter's decades long commitment to raising funds for local philanthropies and scholarships for young women in need. This is a proud history we collectively celebrate today.
The South Coast Chapter held the 42nd Annual Tournament Day at The Grand in Long Beach. This year's theme Moroccan Madness, lent an air of sophistication and fun to the annual event as over 400 guest mingled and meandered through the brightly decorated rooms perusing over 300 silent auction items and participating in an opportunity drawing and games. The theme, Moroccan Madness, was chosen by the Ticktockers; what better way to celebrate this Mother-Daughter Organization than by including our daughters in the creative process? This was the first year Tournament Day and the annual Senior Ticktocker Fashion Show were held together and by all accounts it was a great success.
The money raised at Tournament Day is used to fund The South Coast Chapter's scholarship program and area philanthropies. To make a tax-deductible donation or sponsor the 2016 Tournament Day, please contact, Cecilia Killeen at email@example.com

Electronically Designed Dice Game Circuit by LM555
Figure 1
The objective of the circuit is to build an electronic dice based on the functions of a 555 timer integrated circuit that operates in the astable mode.LM555 – a highly stable device for generating accurate oscillation or time delays with additional terminals provided for resetting or triggering, used in linear ramp generator, pulse position and width modulation, time delay & pulse generation, sequential &precision; timing, with features such as adjustable duty cycle, temperature stability,TTLcompatible output, availability in 9-pinMSOPpackage, timing from microseconds, and operates in both astable & monostable modes4017 – a decade counter where the count advances as the clock input becomes high that may be combined with diodes for some functions such as flash sequencesBC550 – anNPNgeneral purpose transistor with low current and low voltage used for low noise stages in audio frequency equipment
The 555 IC is a highly stable device for generating oscillation or accurate time delays used in pulse width/position modulation, sequential timing, time delay generation, linear ramp generator, precision timing, and pulse generation due to its features such as normally open and normally off output, temperature stability, output and supplyTTLcompatible, adjustable duty cycle, and operates in both astable and monostable mode.
The astable mode produces a continuous square wave or rectangular pulses as with an oscillator. In this circuit, the clock pulses are fed to the IC2 through the 10K Ohms resistor. A 10 stage counter is the main function of IC2 where theRESETat pin 15 is connected to the output 6 at pin 5 which gives a 6 stage counter where the output if from 0 to 5. Three pairs were formed from six of theLEDs which will require 4 different signals coming from the 4 transistors. The transistors are connected to the essential outputs of the IC2.
To prevent short circuits to occur between outputs, diodes are being used when a transistor is operated from more than one output. TheINHIBITat pin 13 of IC2 is connected to the positive emitter voltage through a 100K Ohms resistor which stops the counter from advancing. Pin 13 will only connect to 0 V line when theSTARTbutton S1 is pressed since it is an open push switch. This will allow the counter to advance and will signify the throwing of the dice. The supply of the circuit may come from a 9 V battery source or from an external supply from 9 V to 12 V.
Figure 2
The circuit for electronic dice can be seen mostly in role playing games and other types of board games. Some of the famous games include Monopoly, Snakes and the Ladder, Boggle, Dungeons and Dragons, Axis and Allies, and other games that will require random choices. The most acceptable advantage that the electronic circuit is to avoid the dice to be rolled off a table, which will eventually prevent cheating.

Cost: $600
The leaders of the Horde gathered together and started to rally against the new and empowered Horde led by Garrosh Hellscream.
Inside the Heroic Siege of Orgrimmar
Garrosh has recruited powerful allies in his conquest of Azeorth, such as Warlord Azalea the leader of the Dragonmaw clan in the Twilight Highlands, Blackfuse the leading goblin engineer of the goblins of Kezan, and Sylvannas the leader Banshee Queen of the Forsaken.
With the masterwork engineering of Blackfuse, the lead goblin engineer. The army is incredibly formidable and well equiped. Using new engineering founded by Blackfuse himself he has assisted Garrosh into transforming Orgrimmar into a city with new technology and savagery that has never been seen before.
General Nazgrim, the leading general directly under Garrosh has also joined this new force knowing that Garrosh was corrupted. He too plays a key role into the story and decides to fight against his old enemy, the dreaded Alliance.
The greatest foes within the battle for the Siege of Orgrimmar
With General Nazgrim taking in the corrupted Old God powers he too is a wall in between the Alliance and Garrosh. Garrosh has also taken some of Pandarias greatest treasures and greatest foes into the Heroic Siege of Orgrimmar to fight against the Alliance, the Mogu and the Mantid have been brought against their own will to fight the heroes that stand for good int he world.
The balance of the world rests in your hands as you take the fight to the Siege of Orgrimmar.Thrall has joined the fight to to go against his former pupil Garrosh Hellscream, Thrall has raised Garrosh into being a soldier of justice since he found him in Outland in Nagrand decades ago; now you can find his effects in Azeroth by looking at the Emerald Nightmare.
The master must defeat the pupil corrupted with Old God powers and his blackened heart. Garrosh carries many burdens ever since Thrall gave him the mantle of Warchief. From the very moment he stepped into Pandaria he heard the whispers of the Old God Y'shaarj who tempted Garrosh into the lands and because his heart was blackened with hatred towards the Alliance he then fell for the trick and was led into the chamber of the contained Old God.
Garrosh Hellscream Final Battle!
Once he was there he took the very blood of the being and then kept on going down the path of evil. A corrupted Garrosh was able to defeat the leader of the military Pandaren army, Lord Taran Zhu. After Taran Zhu's defeat he went down below the Vale of four Blossoms using new bombing technology created by the Goblin engineer Blackfuse. It was there that he found the heart of Y'shaarj.
In this instance you will find the most challenging foes and you will also find the incredible Kor'Kron Juggernaut mount plus all the gear from heroic SoO that is well desired by almost every player in the game not only for it's looks but because of how incredibly hard it is to get, given that only the mightiest guilds are able to get such a iconic and amazing looking mount!
