Night Out With Yanni Voices
You may have seen my previous post about my opportunity (thanks to One 2 One Network)to go see Yanni Voices last week, I'm back to tell you it was FANTASTIC!!!
As I mentioned before, Yanni would not have been my first choice of music but, I have changed my mind. Maybe it's because I am older and I appreciate music more now, or maybe it is because I felt connected because I met Nathan and Ender at Blissdom, or maybe it's because everyone on that stage was so incredibly talented, I can't really say for sure what has changed my mind, but I will tell you if you have the chance to go see this concert you really should go. You can see if it is coming to your city here. Going into it my mom had no idea what to expect and had never really listened to Yanni but she too was very impressed and had a great time.
Yanni Voices is the result of Yanni teaming up with producer Rik Wake and some very talented vocal artists including Ender Thomas, Chole, Leslie Mills, and Nathan Pacheco. The 4 "voices" have written words to Yanni's classic songs and they sing those words beautifully and with passion.
Hearing Leslie sing "Before the Night Ends" gave me the chills.
Watching Ender dance gave me a hot flash.
Listening to Nathan sing in Italian completely melted my soul even though I didn't understand one word he was singing.
Chloe's voice made me feel as if I was listening to an angel sing.
Chloe and Ender do a duet called "Mi Todo Eres Tu (Until the Last Moment)" as he sings the Latin vocals, she sings the English vocals and it is amazing how well they blend the two languages together as one voice.
I can't forget the orchestra, they had to be one of the most talented group of musicians ever assembled for a concert like this.
From the dueling violins,
to the drummer,
to the amazing harpist,
one after another the continued to amaze me with their talent. And of course Yanni, watching the passion in his face as he was doing something he truly loves and has dedicated his live to was amazing.
Throughout the concert he would stop and talk and he was really funny too! One story he told (please don't quote me here, I am remembering as well as I can) was about how he and the drummer had been playing together for somewhere in the area of 25 years. They started out playing in rock bands, up until 4 or 5 am after gigs he (Yanni) would dream about someday doing exactly what he was doing right now and he said "It's ok to dream something because once and awhile dreams do come true." Such a moving statement, and you could see in the faces of everyone on stage that they too were living out a dream.
If seeing it in their faces wasn't enough, we got to hear it firsthand from them when we met them backstage after the concert!
Me and Mom
Not only did I get to see a great concert, meet some great artists, spend some quality time with my mom, but I also got to enjoy the night with 2 great blog friends Beth aka Plus Size Mommy and Alaina Frederick. Thanks One 2 One Network!

Homemade Mac and Cheese
Make sure you go to Blessed With Grace to see the other great recipes this week.
This is a family favorite I have been making a lot lately because of picnics and parties. This mac and cheese is my "assigned" dish for parties, everyone always looks forward to it. If I don't make it, I might as well not show up at the party because they won't let me in! Give it a try for your Memorial Day weekend BBQ.
Homemade Mac and Cheese
2 lbs of your choice of pasta (we like shells because the hold the cheese really well)
1 large(2 lb)loaf of Velveeta cheese
2 sticks of margarine
3 cups milk (can use more or less depending on how runny you like your cheese)
~prepare pasta
~combine cheese, margarine, and milk over low heat and stir constantly until all of the cheese is melted
~pour over pasta and mix together
If you are taking this somewhere (it will fit into a large crockpot) you will want to add more milk (make it nice and runny) because it will dry out even on the warm setting.

Why Permanent Makeup?
Often, the first reaction is…"seriously, permanent makeup on your face?" "Really, people get their eyebrows and eyeliner tattooed? The answer is a resounding YES and most absolutely LOVE this option. It is permanent and on your face that's why you would only want a trained expert! There is a very long learning curve with permanent makeup procedures so please don't select a newbie. Color selection of pigments and proper placement are crucial for creating a beautiful and natural outcome and experience is necessary to having results that clients love. Permanent Makeup is a safe sterile process where pigments are inserted into the dermal layer of the skin, permanently. This modern application of an age old art provides a safe and natural looking alternative to your daily makeup routine.
Our Permanent Makeup Artist, Kara Couch, has nationally certified by the American Academy of Micro Pigmentation since 1999 and has performed hundreds of procedures. Prior to joining La Dolce in 2010, Kara worked 9 years for a Plastic Surgeon and Cosmetic Dermatologist. Many are surprised when they find out that our permanent makeup clients are typically over 50 years of age. The majority of our clients desire to look their best every day with less effort due to their busy lifestyle. Some struggle with little or no eyebrow hair, or have difficulty applying makeup to sparse or light eyelashes. Others may have unsteady or arthritic hands or allergies to conventional cosmetics. It does take some time to perfect the look and a complimentary touch up may be necessary. Numbing is used to help the procedure be more comfortable. La Dolce offers complimentary consultations for Permanent Makeup.
In addition to Kara's National Certification, she has been a licensed Cosmetologist since 1986 and received her Aesthetician's license in 1991. She also has a bachelor's degree from Purdue University. She invites you to experience the benefits of Permanent Cosmetics by calling 317.848.0294.

President Evo Morales advocates climate protection at the UN's Copenhagen Climate Summit, December 2009. (Photo by Simon Wedege)
President Evo Morales, the first indigenous leader of Bolivia, is the architect of the Law of Mother Earth. Supported by politicians as well as nongovernmental organizations, the law is expected to easily pass the National Congress where Morales' ruling party, the Movement Towards Socialism, has a majority in both houses.
Today's event was attended by representatives of the executive branch and legislators, diplomats, indigenous peoples and peasants.
Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca told the crowd, "In Bolivia we seek a return to balance, a harmonious life not only between individuals but between man and nature, so today must be a day of reflection of awareness of all to care for our Mother Earth and take timely means for our mother back to its natural balance."
The first article of the Law of Mother Earth says that every human activity has to "achieve dynamic balance with the cycles and processes inherent in Mother Earth."
It defines Mother Earth as "a unique, indivisible, self-regulating community of interrelated beings that sustains, contains and reproduces all beings."
Bolivians celebrate International Day of Mother Earth, April 20, 2011 (Photo courtesy Government of Bolivia)
In parallel, a fair was held to raise awareness about global warming and its effects, and the Bolivia-led crusade for nature protection.
Minister of the Presidency Oscar Coca told the crowd that Bolivia has the "conviction" to promote international policies that promote awareness of the climate change problem in all nations across the planet.
"President Evo Morales says the planet can live without humans, but humans can not live without the planet and reminds the world today that the rights of nature should be rights equal to those we, ourselves, enjoy," Coca said.
Inspired by Bolivia, in 2009, the UN General Assembly proclaimed April 22 as International Mother Earth Day, expressing its conviction that, to achieve a just balance among the economic, social and environmental needs of present and future generations, "it is necessary to promote harmony with nature and the Earth."
In October 2009, the General Assembly named President Morales "World Hero of Mother Earth."
The Morales Government intends to establish a Ministry of Mother Earth to implement the Law of Mother Earth, which will establish new rights for nature, including:
At the same time, President Morales is set to announce on May 1 that he will be "dismantling the privatization model," thereby expropriating privately owned zinc, silver and tin mines.
The government plans to place these mines under government control reversing the actions of previous administrations that sold the mines to private interests.
The Corp Minera de Bolivia, known as Comibol, will operate all the newly expropriated mines. Several mines have already been expropriated under Morales presidency, including the Vinto tin smelter.
Soon after his election as president in 2006, the Morales Government took over gas and oil refineries, all in a bid to have the government control the country's natural resources.
As a result of these policies, foreign private investment in Bolivia has plummeted.

An ideal workplace would be a nice place to be for the majority of employees and at the same time successful from a business perspective and smart enough to remain ahead of the competition. One foot would be firmly on the ground and one foot nudging always into the future.
The business would keep things as simple as possible to meet requirements and not oblige employees to role-play any more than necessary. Part of the simplicity would also be the business not role-playing (i.e. insincere values) any more than necessary for marketing in a competitive world.
Limiting the need to role-play (including executives) would significantly improve most environments. The senior people who today feel they have to look grim and driven and acting tough all the time wouldn't have to. They can be themselves, expressing normal emotions and getting things done, with other people, without drama or finger pointing in judgement.
It would be a workplace where people are calm, confident, committed (in their own individual ways), and able to get the job done without a fuss. Leadership would be firm and fair, but still in touch with human reality and social conscience.
There are some assumptions, including technology based, that should make this possible:
- The role of managers would be more focused on the efficient and strategic direction of the function for which they are responsible, than on controlling employees and making sure they are working hard. Relationships would be adult and managers would not have to act like ever-watchful parents.
- Employees would be largely self-regulated. Logging in and out as required, recording against labor distribution codes and system tracked for output when applicable. They would not have to conform to any particular image as long as the work gets done well. They would know they are doing well from continuous online feedback, or, from the same source, what they need to do differently. Performance management, as we know it today, would no longer exist.
- Training, help and support would be available at all times, whether online, from the manager or Human Resources. HR would be very active in this environment with a strong employee relations and trouble-shooter presence.
What else would employees look for in an ideal workplace? Pay, benefits and perquisites are important but may not directly affect life in the workplace – may be more superficial. People relationships, more than anything else, I believe, make it feel good about going to work and spending large amounts of time away from home. A parent may love his/her children dearly, but value time in the workplace relating at an adult level with people from diverse backgrounds. Men and women in a "safe "collegial environment, the young and old similarly sharing, plus stimulating and lively interaction between people from different backgrounds or same-minded people finding common bonds to share. Enjoying the work is a bonus, but enjoying the people may help individuals be more accepting of work that may not really excite them, which is often the case in today's environment of limited job options.
If workplace relationships are so important and can make employees more committed to their work, how can they be best encouraged? One key factor that sets the tone is the attitude towards taking breaks. In the ideal workplace, employees would be encouraged to take the breaks they are entitled to and there would a reasonably nice cafeteria (or equivalent) where employees can take their breaks together (should they choose) away from their workstation. There can be many other strategies, activities, teamwork etc., but relationships should be natural not forced, otherwise it could be just another stereotype people are expected to conform to in a prescribed fashion.
These are just a few initial thoughts about an ideal workplace. Do they make sense? For example, the need for an adult environment and the shift in performance management from an ever-attentive manager to a more automated system with continuous feedback and related support systems? Do you think there is often excessive role-playing in the workplace, which seems rather outdated and also confusing with so many contradictions. What do you think?
Thank you for your interest. I look forward to any thoughts and comments you may have.

Which school do you want to support?
What kind of mastery of the English language do high school graduates need if they are going to be successful in college, career, and life?
That question was the starting point for the development of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy.
The standards define grade-by-grade expectations for four broad areas of English language readiness: reading, writing, "speaking and listening," and the use of language. They also describe a set of "capacities" that students need to exhibit with increasing "fullness and regularity" (Yes, that sure sounds like education jargon, but read on. We explain.)
The Common Core English Language Arts Capacities
|They demonstrate independence.
|They build strong content knowledge.
|They respond to the varying demands of audience,
task, purpose, and discipline.
|They comprehend as well as critique.
|They value evidence.
|They use technology and digital media strategically and capably.
|They come to understand other perspectives and cultures.
The standards establish expectations that are broader than English class, as their official title indicates: The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects set requirements for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects.
From about 6th grade on, teachers in history, science, and other subjects help students develop and use their literacy skills through practice in the specific content areas. The standards don't say a student has to take physics, for example. But if a student does take physics then the teacher needs to supplement content information with instruction on how to read the textbook, write about the subject, and so on.
To provide guidance to school districts and curriculum developers, the state officially adopts a "curriculum framework" that sets out expectations for textbooks and other instructional materials aligned to the standards. In the past, the state also adopted specific materials and earmarked funds for their purchase.
School districts approve their own materials.
In the past, school districts could only purchase books that were approved by the State Board of Education. In 2013, California removed this requirement. As part of the movement toward more local control, school districts have the authority to certify that materials align with the standards and select materials on their own.
In California, more than 40% of public school children speak a language other than English as their "first" language. In education-speak, these students are called "English Learners"
In California, more than 40% of public school children speak a language other than English as their "first" language. In education-speak, these students are called "English Learners" (EL) or "English Language Learners" (ELL). Schools gauge students' progress toward fluency using a relatively new set of tests, the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC). After an initial assessment, students are tested annually to evaluate their progress. When a student scores high enough, teachers and parents may reclassify him or her as fluent. The reclassification process has varied significantly from one school or district to another, but the California budget for 2019-20 directed the California Department of Education to create uniform standards.
If your school has more than twenty English Learners, it is required by law to set up an English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC). This committee's purpose is to advise your school's leadership, particularly when it comes to determining the goals expressed in the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which must include goals regarding school attendance.
Your school district is required to have a similar district-level committee (DELAC) to advise the district's school board on programs and services for English learners. This advice is meant to include input on the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). These committees may be particularly important if your district is expanding programs for bilingual education based on the passage of Proposition 58.
English Learning in California was a focus area of the 2018 Getting Down to Facts II studies. Unfortunately, the study was severely hampered by the limitations of California's education data systems. Among the indirect findings, the research suggests that English Learners are probably more likely than other California students to be taught by early career teachers. In their conclusion, the authors argue for more clarity:
"The state should be concerned if new teachers, who are already struggling with so much, are particularly underprepared to teach ELs. Ensuring that novice teachers are adequately prepared with the specialized skills, knowledge and dispositions to teach ELs is of paramount importance to a state that concentrates one-quarter of all ELs in the nation — an extremely vulnerable and at-risk population by any measure."
If your school district has a pattern of assigning inexperienced teachers to schools with high concentrations of English Learners, this would be an appropriate topic for discussion at the Site Council, ELAC and DLAC levels. School districts are obligated to provide cost-free training to members of ELACs and DELACs. (Ahem... May we point out that Ed100 is available in English and Spanish? If your ELAC members aren't aware of Ed100, please drop them a note!)
In November 2012, the State Board of Education adopted a set of English Language Development standards to help guide instruction for English learners.
California's English Learner Roadmap, created in 2017, sets out a path for improving instruction for English language learners. In 2018, research conducted for the Getting Down to Facts II project suggested a to-do list that includes stronger investment in programs to prepare bilingual teachers and improved access to preschool for English learners.
Unsurprisingly, political considerations electrify discussion of these matters. In 1998, voters passed Proposition 227, which required that nearly all California public school instruction (except foreign language classes) be conducted in English. But times change. In 2016, voters took another look at the issue and overwhelmingly passed Proposition 58. The law repealed the restrictions on bilingual education, allowing schools to choose how to teach English learners, whether in English–only, bilingual, or other types of programs.
This policy shift is reflected in Global California 2030, an initiative of the California Department of Education to embrace the multiple languages of California's students. In describing the goals of the program, the CDE declares that "By 2030, we want half of all K–12 students to participate in programs leading to proficiency in two or more languages, either through a class, a program, or an experience."
Ed100 Lesson 6.16 provides research on the importance of biliteracy skills, and on the California State Seal of Biliteracy).
English teachers lack nothing when it comes to passion for their work. A prolonged disagreement about how best to teach elementary English once earned such explosive headlines that it was dubbed "the reading wars." The debate centered on whether students should learn to sound out words phonetically (the "phonetics" camp) or to recognize them as distinct words (the "whole language" camp). This complex debate no longer seems to spark much emotion; learning materials evolved to include elements of both approaches.
Literacy starts at home. The earlier the better. There is some evidence that children from high-income families are exposed to more words than children from families on welfare — the gap was once reckoned to be as large as 30 million words. Research now indicates that reading to children, more than talking, builds greater literacy skills. It makes sense: The language in books is usually more enriching than everyday speech.
How is your school supporting English Learners? This advocacy guide from EdTrust-West helps parents and communities know their rights.
Schools and parent groups can do a lot to support literacy at home. For example, Reading Rockets and Colorin Colorado provide downloadable fliers in many languages. The California State PTA provides grade level guides to help parents understand Common Core literacy standards and see if their children are on track.
Next we'll look at fluency of a different sort: science, technology, engineering, and math, known in edu-lingo as the "STEM" subjects.

Toronto, Canada – March 29, 2016 – eMoneyHosting is latest entry into the rapidly expanding world of cloud computing. Poised to become a leading Platform as a Service (PaaS) provider, eMoneyHosting is powered by Google servers, an industry leader in cloud computing infrastructure.
In a recent report from analyst firm Gartner, cloud computing is predicted to become a $204 billion industry in 2016. "With a compound annual growth rate of 23.5%, that's five times faster than the technology market overall, and Platform as a Service is expected to be one of the fastest growing categories," says Paul Ponna the founder and CEO of eMoneyHosting.com
"The market for public cloud services is continuing to demonstrate high rates of growth across all markets and Gartner expects this to continue through 2017," says Paul Ponna. "This strong growth continues to reflect a shift away from legacy IT services to cloud-based services, due to increased trend of organizations pursuing a digital business strategy."
Cloud adaption is strong as business-to-business research firm Clutch has recently reported 90% of businesses surveyed plan to increase their spending on cloud computing by as much as 30% this year, with almost half listing the efficiencies of cloud computing over on-premises as the number one reason for the switch.
Paul Ponna the CEO of eMoneyHosting also claims that utilizing Platform as a Service allows companies to quickly and easily create web applications tailored to their needs, eliminating the need to purchase and maintain software and hardware themselves.
By choosing Platform as a Service, companies also gain access to a centralized web-based environment that encompasses all areas of an application's development from the initial design, to testing, to deployment, and finally hosting and maintenance. Development team collaboration tools simplify project management and communication allowing many different developers to work on a single application simultaneously. All this with the automatic scalability that comes with using a cloud computing platform.
"Whether you're a large enterprise, a small business, or an individual developer, anyone can benefit from the rapid development and deployment of apps to secure and highly available cloud computing platform," says eMoneyHosting CEO and Founder Paul Ponna.
"Established companies running on older in-house legacy systems are struggling to keep up new startups who are taking advantage of agile and low-cost cloud computing technologies," says the excited founder Paul Ponna who has over 10 years of experience in Webhosting and application development.

KELOWNA - It may be a case of a few rule breakers wrecking it for everyone else.
UBC Okanagan has announced an agreement with Curtis Rd. residents to reopen the private road in North Glenmore to limited use by a limited number of staff and students. The road has been closed to UBCO since Feb. 2.
UBCO lawyer Hubert Lai said in a statement that only staff and students working or attending classes in the Reichwald Health Sciences Centre or the Creative and Critical Studies building can use the popular back road into the campus.
This has been the rule since UBCO lost a court case over unrestricted access to the route in 2012, Lai said. The latest decision from B.C. Supreme Court reinforces the rule by requiring a plan from the university on how it will improve compliance. Without it, the judge in the case threatened to suspend the easement that allows the university to use the road.
On Monday, Lai said the judge had approved the plan and that all UBCO students have been sent a message outlining the restrictions and urging them to comply with the court ruling. He also said campus security will be patrolling the road on a regular basis, with trespassers, either on foot or on a bike, subject to prosecution.

Kids at play can go a long way. For the kids of Hospicio de San Jose, the energy they spend to play can now be turned into energy for the orphanage, thanks to a special playground presented to them by Tiger Energy Biscuit.
Called the Tiger Energy Playground, it includes two popular types of park equipment, a seesaw and a merry-go-round but with added features. The Tiger Energy Biscuit brand of Kraft Foods (Philippines) Inc. teamed up with the Mapua Institute of Technology to make the equipment convert the energy created by the kids' while playing into electrical energy that can be used in the Hospicio compound. In short, every bit of energy that kids exert can be turned by the equipment into electricity to light lamp posts and other appliances.
The team from Mapua is made up of Electrical Engineering thesis advisers Engr. Michael Pacis, Engr. Conrad Ostia, Engr. Ronald Santiago and Engr. Mark Christian Manuel; and students John Ray Abad, Merryll Capucao, Lynette Dane Legaspi, Jovan Barrago, Jeffrey Adams Uy, Daniel Oliver Calapatia, and Dave Bautista.
Tiger Energy Biscuit is the delicious and nutritious biscuit made of wheat and with milk and has the 9 vitamins and 6 minerals of Enermaxx. This unique combination helps give your child the energy he needs for the entire day. The concept of the Tiger Energy Playground merges the benefits kids get from the brand, with the ability to convert energy into a commodity that can benefit a community.
Initial tests have shown that the Tiger Energy Playground can store up to 36 hours worth of power for every 24 hours of play.
Kraft Foods Category Marketing Manager for Biscuits, Carlo Licuanan said, "We chose to donate the Tiger Energy Playground to Hospicio de San Jose to remind the children here that they have not been forgotten this Christmas, and that there is reason for them to be hopeful for a bright future. Hopefully soon, the Playground will also be able to help Hospicio in its operations, by helping provide part of its power consumption so that their monthly electricity bill can be reduced."
Though still in the early stages of implementation, the Tiger Energy Park is already seen by all participating institutions as a positive way forward, not only for Hospicio de San Jose, but for the development of Philippine-made devices to help provide electricity to less fortunate communities around the country.

This Week In 1988: September 25, 1988
Originally posted as 25 Years Ago This Week in 2013. Updated in 2018.
Punctuation in song titles is not a subject you see discussed that often, but this week I get to combine my love of music and my editing background. The reason: this week in 1988, a song with a controversial comma appeared on the ARIA chart.
Besides brackets, which were used quite liberally in the '80s, punctuation doesn't appear that often in song titles. Over the years, there's been the odd comma ("Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car"), colon ("The Key: The Secret"), and, thanks to Britney Spears, a couple of ellipses and an exclamation mark for good measure ("...Baby One More Time", "Oops!...I Did It Again"). Even the hashtag has crept into usage, thanks to Mariah Carey ("#Beautiful") and the punctuation-loving Will.i.am (#thatPOWER).
Then, there's the question mark. How many titles that are actually questions are missing that all-important punctuation mark? "What Do I Have To Do", "Where Do Broken Hearts Go", "What Is Love" (Haddaway, not Howard Jones)... all of those titles are treated as statements. Another song, like Howard's "What Is Love?", that does use correct punctuation is "What Have I Done To Deserve This?", but then Pet Shop Boys are pedants for that sort of thing — as well as writing song titles in sentence case (so, for them, it's "What have I done to deserve this?").
Before we get to the story of that comma, at number 1 on the singles chart this week in 1988, Robert Palmer and his band of babes held on for a second week with "Simply Irresistible".
Off The Chart
Number 94 "Don't You Know What The Night Can Do?" by Steve Winwood
Peak: number 94
Steve Winwood was still on a, er, roll in the US, with this latest single from Roll With It reaching number 6, but like the album's title track, the song (with correct punctuation in its title) performed considerably worse in Australia.
"Paint It, Black" by The Rolling Stones
Peak: number 55
Well, when I say the story, I mean the stories, since, over the years, there have been a number of theories about the pesky comma in the title of one of The Rolling Stones' best known songs. Was it a statement about race and the civil rights movement? Was it a direction to someone called Black to paint it?
According to band member Keith Richards, it was an error by the record company, Decca. The comma wasn't part of the title until the artwork for the single was produced and it seems that someone put a comma in where one wasn't meant to be. But, it stuck and has remained in the title until as recently as 2012 compilation album GRRR!
So why was a 22-year-old song back in the charts in the first place? The Stones had TV series Tour Of Duty to thank for the renewed interest in "Paint It, Black" since the Vietnam War drama used the track as its theme song. The track had also been used in the closing credits for 1987 Vietnam War film Full Metal Jacket — and so the song, although not originally about the controversial conflict, became associated with it.
"Paint It, Black" didn't end up revisiting the chart highs it had first time round (the Kent Music Report lists it as a three-week number 1 in Australia in mid-1966). Instead, it seems people were buying the Tour Of Duty soundtrack, which was still in the top 20 on the albums chart after 18 weeks.
Peak: number 56
The three-year-old "Oh Yeah" was still riding high inside the Australian top 20, but this week a brand-new track by Swiss group Yello started gaining momentum. The first single from the Flag album, "The Race" would do what "Oh Yeah" hadn't in the UK and reach the top 10, becoming their biggest hit there. In Australia, however, it was a very different story and the track didn't qualify for the top 50.
New Entry
Number 40 "Love Changes (Everything)" by Climie Fisher
Peak: number 23
One of my favourite songs of 1988, this UK number 2 hit had originally been released in 1987 only to stall at number 67. But, with the success of "Rise To The Occasion", particularly its dance remix, "Love Changes (Everything)" was re-released to a much bigger reception there. The song did pretty well here, too, but the spurt of success was short-lived and Climie Fisher's subsequent singles didn't fare anywhere near as well. The duo split after a second album, with both Simon Climie and Rob Fisher (who passed away in 1999) writing hit songs for other artists.
One new entry? That's a bit lame, right? Well, I'm really left with no option but to turn the chart over and look at what was happening on the albums top 50.
Albums Chart
There was a much more satisfying tally of six new entries on the albums chart this week in 1988. I won't go through them all, but will talk in general about some of the things happening on the top 50.
The week's biggest new entry came from the latest all-star various artists compilation. 88 The Winners (which included "Doctorin' The Tardis", "New Sensation" and recent number 1 "Perfect") had an Olympics theme, since that year's Seoul Games were still running at the time. I don't normally notice catalogue numbers (I'm not that much of a trainspotter!) but that album's number of 1-1 was a nice touch. Luckily, the album was a winner, reaching number 1 and staying there for four weeks.
Meanwhile, the other hits compilation of the day (they always come in pairs) didn't fare as well, despite boasting the week's number 1 single among its tracks. 1988 What's Hot (which also featured "Got To Be Certain", "Better Be Home Soon" and "All Fired Up") debuted at a rather dismal number 39, but would end up rallying and peak at number 2 for three weeks.
Above 88 The Winners were three albums by Australian artists, including John Farnham and Crowded House, who held the top 2 spots with their latest releases, Age Of Reason and Temple Of Low Men. Those acts were also responsible for the chart's longest-running albums with previous releases Whispering Jack and Crowded House benefitting from a sales resurgence.
It was a pretty good week for Australian artists all round, with 15 out of the 40 artist albums in the top 50 (the other 10 were compilations or soundtracks) coming from local acts. Even some home-grown pop made an impact with the debut albums by Chantoozies and Kylie Minogue both managing a spot inside the top 10.
And, just for something a bit different, a number of albums in the top 50 were by acts who hadn't been anywhere near the singles chart in recent years or, in some cases, ever. Artists like Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Robert Cray, Van Morrison, James Morrison (no relation) and Joan Armatrading all ranked among the week's biggest sellers.
Listen to this week's new entries on my Spotify playlist of all the top 50 hits from 1988:
Next week: some more action on the singles chart thanks to one of the most exciting dance acts around and a reunion between two artists who'd previously collaborated on an Australian number 1 single. Before that, I'll make a start on my countdown of my favourite songs from 1997.

UCSF Study Finds Simplified Systems Intervention Improves Blood Pressure Control in Safety-Net Settings
Nearly a third of American adults have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, putting them at higher risk for heart attacks, strokes, and death. A recent estimate from the Centers for Disease Control reports that high blood pressure—and the many conditions associated with it—contributes to over 400,000 deaths and costs the nation more than $40 billion each year.
Patients can avoid poor health effects by lowering blood pressure with medication and diet, but more than half of all Americans with hypertension don't have the condition under control. A few integrated healthcare systems, such as Kaiser Permanente Northern California, have achieved control rates as high as 90 percent in their patients, but this approach has been considered out of reach for the many low-income and minority patients who rely on less well-resourced safety-net settings for care.
Now, a new study led by UC San Francisco researchers, partnering with clinical leaders in the San Francisco Department of Public Health, shows that a simplified intervention building on the hypertension treatment algorithm used in Kaiser Permanente's Preventing Heart Attacks and Strokes Every Day (PHASE) program can significantly improve rates of blood pressure control in the city's safety net clinics.
According to the new research, published July 12, 2018 in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, best practices established in well-resourced healthcare systems like Kaiser Permanente can work in safety-net clinics that serve high-risk populations. Rather than being an afterthought, "this is the population to start with. This is where you'll get the biggest movement," said Valy Fontil, MD, MAS, the study's first author and assistant professor of medicine at UCSF and the Center for Vulnerable Populations.
If implemented across the country, the program could potentially improve blood pressure control in vulnerable populations and, eventually, address racial and socioeconomic disparities in hypertensive-related diseases. "Poor and minority communities are more likely to have high blood pressure, more likely to get high blood pressure early in life, and are less likely to have their blood pressure controlled," said senior author Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, PhD, MD, MAS, the Lee Goldman MD endowed chair in medicine and professor and chair of the department of epidemiology and biostatistics. "We know what works, but we need to adapt our strategies to the communities that need them the most."
She and Fontil designed the study to investigate the commonly held view that safety-net clinics have what Fontil calls a "ceiling of achievement."
"People always think that clinics like Kaiser have a lot of money, a lot of resources, and healthy patients: advantages that safety-net clinics don't have, and so the clinics can't achieve the same quality of care. I don't usually believe that," said Fontil.
To test this idea, Fontil and his fellow researchers set about modifying a treatment program to suit the needs of the patients seen in the San Francisco Health Network (SFHN), 12 clinics run by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. "Let's learn what works over there," he said, "and see if we can adapt it here."
The first step was to develop an internal hypertension patient registry, in order to track blood pressure control. The tracking system was intended to benefit both the doctors monitoring their patients' health and the patients themselves, allowing appropriate outreach and reminders.
Next the team developed a treatment algorithm adapted for the SFHN. This algorithm encouraged the use of fixed-dose medications—two or more drugs in one pill—advantageous to their patients, who then require fewer trips to the pharmacy and don't have to manage as many individual pills. The researchers also adapted their algorithm to account for patients' potential social instability, which could make close monitoring required for some medications unrealistic; they took into account food insecurity and additional health conditions that could increase side effects from some of the recommended medications. In addition, the researchers took into account the financial burden imposed on patients whose insurance might not cover certain medications and made sure to only include medications covered by the most common insurers for these patients.
In addition to the algorithm, the blood pressure control program also included regular check-up visits to monitor blood pressure. Nurses and pharmacists were allowed to take standardized blood pressure measurements, allowing patients faster access to monitoring without requiring full doctor appointments. And with regular, trusted and standardized blood pressure measurements, doctors could be more proactive in adjusting medication dosages to fit their patients' needs when they did come in for appointments.
"We took some things out of the doctors' hands," explained Fontil, "so that they could concentrate on patient care."
The team tested the results of this program in one pilot clinic first. When preliminary outcomes looked positive, the team expanded the effort—dubbing the program "Bring it Down San Francisco"—to all 12 of the SFHN clinics. At the pilot site, the researchers saw blood pressure control rise from 68 percent to 74 percent, improving across all racial and ethnic groups surveyed over the course of 24 months; when the other clinics were added to the program, blood pressure control rates rose from 69 percent to 74 percent over 15 months.
"Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in the world and it particularly plagues low-income populations and ethnic minorities. That makes it a great case study for care for chronic diseases like diabetes and kidney disease, for example," said Fontil. Despite the disadvantages and difficulties faced by safety-net clinics, the data speak for themselves, said Fontil. "We didn't have a lot of funding for it, and it still worked."

Calgary to Charlotte, North Carolina - $318 after tax roundtrip
This is an interesting one, Charlotte North Carolina (CLT) just dropped to $318 after tax on United. It usually hovers around $500.
This fare is available for virtually every date, including peak summer travel and peak Christmas dates.
So what is there to do in Charlotte? I'm sure it's a fine enough city, I've never been myself, so I can't give any recommendations. Myrtle Beach is a 4 hour drive which I know is a popular destination, especially for golfers.
Or I guess you could use it as a starting point for an east coast road trip. Washington DC is 6 hours. Then 3 hours to Philly. Then 90 min to New York. Then 4 hours to Boston.

North American broadband service providers (SPs) witnessed a dramatic decline in the number of net new subscriptions in the second quarter of 2008, according to a market study by Strategy Analytics.
While seasonality and market maturity explain some of the phenomenon, the broadband operator's recently reported second quarter results point to other factors.
According to John Lee, Analyst in the Strategy Analytics, "There is a fair amount of seasonality in broadband, so a dip in the second quarter is not altogether unexpected. However, the magnitude of this decline suggests that the current economic environment is hampering the ability of service providers to garner new customers."
Each of the top four U.S. service providers, Comcast, AT&T, Verizon and Time Warner Cable, saw its number of net new subscriptions fall precipitously in the second quarter, with the cable companies faring slightly better than the telcos.
"This is not a situation where existing consumers are dropping broadband en masse," said Ben Piper, Director of the Strategy Analytics. "Rather, the number of new subscribers is dwindling. In lean economic times, people are less inclined to assume an additional recurring monthly expense."
Expect U.S broadband service providers to lower prices, as they have done thus far every time when the market shows signs of reaching prolonged saturation.

Kroenke and Usmanov, who have wrestled for control of Arsenal for almost five years, both made it clear they had no intention of selling their respective 66.83 per cent and 29.96 per cent stakes. That is despite the prospect of a huge windfall on the amount each paid for their shares, with Arsenal valued at £731 million when Kroenke became majority shareholder in 2011.
A £1.5 billion takeover by a group backed by funds from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates would be a world record for a football club, dwarfing the £800 million the Glazers paid for Manchester United eight years ago.
The group involved do not want their identities made public yet but have requested a meeting with Kroenke – caricatured by some fans as 'Silent Stan' due to his low profile – to discuss the proposed offer, which would net the American billionaire a profit of around £400m.
However, Arsenal communications director Mark Gonnella said on Sunday: "Stan Kroenke is committed to Arsenal for the long term and has no intention of selling his stake. There has been no contact from any potential investors."
Gonnella added that Kroenke, who also owns the St Louis Rams in the National Football League, had never sold any of his sports investments. A spokesman for Usmanov also insisted the Uzbek-bornbusinessman, who has made no secret of his desire to take control of Arsenal himself, also had no interest in selling his stake.
The Middle East consortium is planning an offer for 100 per cent of the club but believes it will be able to work with the billionaire, who does not currently have a seat on the board and who has been frustrated in his attempts to get more involved.
News of a proposed takeover bid came as Arsenal prepared for arguably one of the most important north London derbies since Arsène Wenger became manager 16½ years ago.
Arsenal are facing the prospect of finishing outside the Premier League top four for the first time in the Wenger era and the consortium tapped into fears that the club had been caught in a cycle of decline since they last won a trophy in 2005.
Wenger said on Sunday that he did not know anything about the proposed bid and rejected the idea that missing out on the top four would make his side vulnerable to a takeover. "You are only vulnerable if you want to sell and you need money," he said. "That doesn't concern me at all; that's down to the owners. Are they interested to sell or not I don't know at all. If people are ready to invest their money it means the club is not moving too much in a bad direction."
The proposed takeover would wipe out Arsenal's £250 million debt at a stroke, while a bid source told Telegraph Sport funds would be made available "to transform the club into a major force in European and world football".
The source added: "Arsenal is at a pivotal position at the moment. The fear is that the club is facing a cycle of decline, like Liverpool. From our point of view, it is the perfect moment to make this bid because at this moment in time you can still genuinely justify this extraordinary valuation on the club. We will not bid for Arsenal if they go into decline. Kroenke and Usmanov will not get this kind of valuation if Arsenal do not succeed."
A pledge to reduce ticket prices at the Emirates Stadium, currently among the highest in the world, is also planned, as well as an attempt to recreate "some of the feel of the old North Bank" at Highbury.
Any takeover would inevitably raise questions over the future of Wenger, although the Frenchman is understood to be highly regarded by the consortium. They do not want to lose his football knowledge and want him to remain at the club. But the source added: "No big club can go eight years without winning anything. No manager of a big club, not even Sir Alex Ferguson, would have survived eight years without winning."

KATE & LAURA are MAKING IT BETTER November 24, 2015 13:22
Photo by: Autumn de Wilde
VN: You began your fashion label Rodarte in 2005, I've heard you sold just about everything you owned to raise the funds for that first line. That experience sounds reminiscent of a caterpillar going thru a cocooning process shedding records, favorite jackets, art and collectibles that help construct ones identity and coming out the other side as fashion designers. WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE, TO HAVE ALL OF YOUR STUFF BACK OR ONION DIP AND CHIPS AT THE SNAP OF YOUR FINGER?
K&L: We would love to have our original record collection, as it was made primarily with the help of our father. Some of the albums had such sentimental value. However, we are in the process of building a new collection, and we are enjoying the excitement of making good finds at local record stores!
VN: You've designed costumes for Darren Aranofsky's film Black Swan, worked with Frank Gehry and Dudemel for the production of Don Giovanni. and more. WHAT ARE THE FIRST 3 STEPS IN YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS AND WHAT IS THE LAST?
K&L: 1. Opening our minds to inspiration- looking to our environment and surroundings for a moment of excitement and feeling of newness.
2. Free ourselves of any previously conceived notions.
3. Always trust your insticts.
Last: There is never a last step, never a moment where we stop questioning what we are making and wanting to make it better.
VN: You appear to have an incredible work ethic and tireless enthusiasm. I'm speaking of your devotion to the holidays, starting with the incredible decorations of your house, lawn, rooftop, and themed parties for Halloween, and Christmas. To add to the mix last year you moved studios and still pulled off an incredibly elegant jank prom. Now you follow it up with winning Vogue's top 12 shows of Spring Summer 16. It's truly incredible. HAVE YOU EVER FINISHED A GAME OF MONOPOLY?
K&L: No, we have not.
VN: Your father Perry has amassed a vast tape collection, I assume his collection is a great library to pull from to set a mood. CAN YOU GIVE US A SMALL PLAYLIST FOR THE ULTIMATE POOL PARTY?

America- Ventura High Way
E.L.O- the way life's meant to be

Have any suggestions for the 3 Count? Let me know via Twitter @plagiarismtoday.
1: Spotify's Nightmare Realized: Chrome Extension Allows MP3 Download of Any Song
First off today, a Chris Welch at The Verge reports that a new Google Chrome extension caused a stir by letting Spotify users download and permanently save any song that they streamed through the service.
The extension, named "Downloadify" was quickly removed from the Chrome Web Store but was still available on GitHub. However, Spotify also reacted patched its Web player to remove the exploit and prevent the extension from working.
Spotify's Web player is a relatively new addition to its service, which historically has relied on downloadable apps, both on desktop and mobile devices. The extension simply located the files that Spotify downloaded to the user's computer and preserved them rather than deleting them as designed.
2: BitTorrent Steps Up Monetization Efforts By Taking Its (Potentially Paywalled) Content Bundles Into Alpha
Next up today, Anthony Ha at TechCrunch writes that BitTorrent, the company that developed the protocol by the same name, is releasing its content packaging format, BitTorrent Bundle, into alpha.
Though BitTorrent has worked with artists in the past to help distribute promotional material, the most recent use of the Bundle is the first time that some of the content has been "gated" or not made publicly accessible. In this case, all that was required was an email address to unlock it but the use of the technology sets the stage for possibly using paywalls in the future.
Though the BitTorrent protocol is widely used for illegal file sharing, BitTorrent the company has been seeking ways to let artists monetize the protocol, including BitTorrent Bundle.
3: Two New Judges Named to Copyright Royalty Board
Finally today, Bloomberg BNA reports that two new judges have been named to the Copyright Royalty Board by James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress.
According to a statement, Billington has appointed David R. Strickler and Jess Feder to the board. Strickler will be taking a seat designed to be filled by an expert on economics and Feder's seat is for an expert on copyright law. Strickler's term will end in 2016 and Feder's in 2014.
The Copyright Royalty Board administers and rules on statutory licenses in copyright law, such as licenses for radio play. The appointments are effective as of May 6.
That's it for the three count today. We will be back tomorrow with three more copyright links. If you have a link that you want to suggest a link for the column or have any proposals to make it better. Feel free to leave a comment or send me an email. I hope to hear from you.

Albania to launch tender for oil, gas explorations in June
Last Updated: 2015-05-19 04:58 | Xinhua
Albania launched on Monday the initiation of the procedures for the hydrocarbon agreements on exploration of seven onshore and offshore oil and gas blocks, according to Albanian minister of energy and industry Damian Gjiknuri on Monday.
The tender procedures for exploration of the first seven oil and gas blocks will be held on June 15.
The Albanian National Agency of Natural Resources (AKBN), which designated the seven onshore and offshore oil and gas blocks, would publish on its website the map of free blocks for exploration in Albania, as well as the application form including the deadline for submission of applications for explorations in the blocks until June 15, according to the minister's order.
The seven new areas for oil and gas exploration and production will be subject to competition in an open process, with the winners due to be selected through pre-defined criteria, according to Albanian telegraphic agency.
The gas and oil exploration operations are expected to attract foreign capital to help the country's economic development, noted the minister.
