12 Things You Didn't Know About South Africa-Iran Relations
Since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, some members of the international community including the U.S. have accused the government of Iran of sponsoring terrorism. South Africa is not one of the accusers. On the contrary, South Africa is expanding trade and defense commitments with the Islamic republic, with plans to expand tourism ties between the two countries. Deterring Iranian travelers to the U.S. could be South Africa's gain as U.S. President Donald Trump attempts a travel ban and threatens to tear up the Iran nuclear deal.
Iran, a central banker for terrorism?
Since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, some members of the international community including the U.S. have accused the government of Iran of sponsoring terrorism. Iran has been "a kind of central banker for terrorism" in Lebanon through Hezbollah, in the Palestinian Territories, "and we have deep concerns about what Iran is doing in the south of Iraq," said former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Iran is a top source of Muslim visitors to South Africa
Iran is one of the top three source markets for inbound tourists to South Africa from the Middle East, according to the MasterCard-Crescent Rating Global Muslim Travel Index for 2016, which covers 130 global destinations. More than 4,000 Iranian tourists visited South Africa from January to November 2016. South Africa, population 55 million, is home to around 1 million Muslims– less than 2 percent. Around 90 percent of Muslims are termed "Indian" and "Malay" Muslims.

South Africa could capitalize on Trump's travel ban
U.S. President Donald Trump attempted to impose a travel ban on seven Muslim majority countries, including Iran and three African countries — Sudan, Libya, and Somalia. South Africa wants to strengthen tourism ties with Iran and boost its standing as a Muslim-friendly destination. About 117 million Muslim visitors traveled the world in 2015 — 10 percent of the entire travel market. This is expected to grow to 168 million visitors by 2020, according to the MasterCard Muslim Travel Index. "The fast-growing Muslim travel segment is an opportunity in plain sight, but in order to benefit from it, it is crucial to understand the needs and preferences of Muslim travelers and how to adapt and tailor products and services for them," said Matthew Driver, a Mastercard group executive for Asia Pacific.

Iran's travel business booming
Iran has seen three years in a row of double-digit growth in international arrivals and scheduled global air capacity, according to a recent analysis by ForwardKeys.

Iran and South Africa agreed to boost defense, military cooperation
Iran and South Africa in December agreed to boost defense and military cooperation, promote regional and international peace and stability, and engage in a campaign against terrorism. Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan was the first Iranian defense minister to visit South Africa since the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

Trump imposes new sanctions against Iran
Hundreds of thousands of Iranians rallied on Friday on the anniversary of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution that ended the rule of U.S.-backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Many rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's warning that he had put the Islamic Republic "on notice," state TV reported. The U.S. Treasury Department earlier this month said it was imposing sanctions on 25 individuals and companies connected to Iran's ballistic missile program. Some marchers in the crowds carried banners that read: "Thanks to American people for supporting Muslims." On Twitter and Facebook, many Iranians used the hashtag #LoveBeyondFlags to try and end the practice of burning U.S. flags, common at anniversary events. Some also thanked Americans for opposing Trump's executive order banning travelers from Muslim-majority countries including Iran. The travel ban is being challenged in U.S. courts.

Post-revolutionary Iran supported South Africa in the apartheid struggle
After sanctions were lifted against Iran, South African President Jacob Zuma visited the country and signed several commitments. South Africa views Iran as a strategic trading partner. "In the bilateral sphere, South Africa and Iran share a long historical relationship, with Iran having stood with and supported the struggle for liberation in SA. South Africa has also stood with Iran in the face of unilaterally imposed sanctions," the president said in a statement.

Trade has fallen between the 2 countries
South Africa blames sanctions imposed by the West and nonexistent banking relations between South Africa and Iran for a decline in trade. As of 2015, total trade between the two countries was 358 million rand ($27.3 million US). South African exports to Iran declined from 1.27 billion rand ($97 million US) in 2008 to 270 million ($20.6 million) in 2014.

Before the revolution, the Shah supported the apartheid government
During the reign of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi from 1941 to 1979, Iran had few African interests other than Anwar Sadat's Egypt, Haile Selassie's Ethiopia and the South African apartheid regime. Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamic Republic in 1979 resulted in an overhaul of Iranian foreign policy, changing its focus from the West to the developing world. Even then, Africa was never a top priority. After the shah, Tehran abandoned ties with the South African apartheid regime in favor of the African National Congress, a move that was remembered and appreciated once the ANC took over in 1994.

Africa helped Iran overcome its pariah status
In Africa, Iran has found a way of overcoming its pariah status. The Islamic Republic has been accused of using Africa to extend Hezbollah's reach, obtain nuclear material, advance its commercial interests, and arm its proxies.

South African cell phone giant MTN is expanding in Iran
South African cell phone giant MTN owns a 49 percent stake in Tehran's Irancell Telecommunication Services, and has been repatriating some of the $1 billion trapped in Iran while U.S.-led sanctions were in place. Now MTN is trying to secure an agreement with the Iranian government to acquire a 49 percent stake in a state-owned internet provider. A civil complaint filed in Washington, D.C. federal court claimed MTN elbowed Turkcell, a Turkish competitor, out of a 49 percent stake through bribes paid to Iranian officials. The complaint had over 60 pages of documentation, including detail about vehicles and military equipment South Africa would provide to Iran if MTN. The weapons were never delivered, and the Turkcell case was withdrawn in May 2013 because the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that international corporate civil suits could no longer be tried in U.S. court. MTN's Iran deal nets it over $117 million a year. Irancell's Iranian owner is a holding company whose investors include Iran Electronics Industries, a government-connected electronics and defense company that had been under U.S. sanctions since September of 2008.
South African businesses were wary of doing business with Iran after sanctions were lifted
After the Iran Nuclear Deal concluded in 2015, Iran was officially open for business again with most countries in the world, including South Africa. But South African companies were wary about returning.
According to the deal, Iran would redesign, convert, and reduce its nuclear facilities in order to lift all nuclear-related economic sanctions, freeing up tens of billions of dollars in oil revenue and frozen assets, according to a joint statement by the E.U. and Iran.
The main concern for South African businesses was that most primary U.S. sanctions remained in place initially, and those would affect dealings between Iran and other countries.
South Africa had bought much of its oil from Iran before E.U. and U.S. sanctions were imposed. U.S. secondary sanctions hit South Africa hardest because they stopped other countries from doing business with Iran or risk sanctions from the U.S. There were fears Obama's successor would reverse the Iran Nuclear Deal. Trump vowed while campaigning to tear up all international agreements signed by the Obama administration. A key player in the nuclear negotiations, Helga Schmid visited South Africa in May 2016. Schmid said she was not worried. "Europe and many others will protect this agreement. In Europe everyone will support it, every one of the 28 countries."

For some it was a long time coming, but earlier today at the Apple event in San Francisco, the company announced, as expected, the new and improved iPhone 5. They also took the opportunity to announce new iPods, updated earbuds (dubbed EarPods), as well as a new iTunes. It seems for the most part, the rumour mill had it right and in some cases surprisingly dead on!
The iPhone 5, made of aluminum and glass, is larger than its predecessor with a 4-inch Retina display. So you now get 5 rows of icons, capable of displaying 1136 x 640 at 326ppi and allowing you to see a full workweek, 5 days across in the Calendar app. While the screen jumped ½-inch in diagonal, the newest iPhone is 18% thinner, 20% lighter and is subject to less glare.
New A6 Chip & Camera
Under the hood it features the new Apple A6 chip expected to perform up to 2 times faster depending on the application. The iSight camera, which truly differentiated the iPhone 4S from the iPhone 4 has once again been upgraded. Internally, it takes up 25% less space, yet the resolution remains at 8 megapixels. It features a 5-element f/2.4 aperture lens with a thin sapphire crystal lens cover for sharper images. It has improved stabilization and the ability to snap stills while recording video. It also has face recognition and its new panorama feature, which supports images of up to 28 megapixels in size. The front facing FaceTime camera, typically not as powerful as the rear, has been upgraded to 720p, does HD video and is backside illuminated.
The audio system now has 3 mics – front, bottom and back for voice recognition and better noise cancelation.
Ultrafast Wireless
Downlink wireless connectivity is also faster with the new LTE & DC-HSDPA that run up to 100Mbps and 42Mbps respectively, compared to the current model, which runs HSPA 14.4Mbps and HSPA+ 21Mbps. This faster capability is expected to be available on Rogers, Telus, Bell, Fido, Virgin and Koodo networks.
The new model supports Wi-Fi (802.11n) with support for both 2.4 and 5GHz with capabilities of up to 150 Mbps.
Battery Life is also improved with 8 hours on 3G or LTE, 10 hours on Wi-Fi.
Lightning Dock Connector
Another radical change and something we'll see crossover to other iOS devices is the new docking connector. The almost decade old 30-pin is gone, replaced with a sleeker 9-pin reversible connector. They call it Lightning, a nice match with Thunderbolt. (For Queen fans, I'm sure you get the Thunderbolt & Lightning reference). For those highly invested in 30-pin gadgets a $29 adapter will solve your problems.
The iPhone 5 will ship with iOS 6, as previously announced (with its 200+ new features), that will include Passport where you can store coupons, movie tickets and boarding passes (no mention of credit cards) as well as an update to Siri, the iPhone's virtual assistant who comes along with a lot more new found wisdom and probably a few more cheeky comeback lines.
iWork, iMovie & GarageBand have also been upgraded to accommodate the new releases.
The new iPhone 5 will still come either with a black front and a black anodized back or a white front with raw aluminum back somewhat reminiscent of the original iPhone.
In the US, the iPhone 5 2-year contract pricing remains the same as the current 4S models (16/$199, 32GB/$299,64GB/$399); the 4S (16GB) will drop to $99, the iPhone 4 (8GB) will be free and the 3GS history.
In Canada, contract prices have not been confirmed, but the no contract unlocked phones will be: $699/16GB, $799/32GB & $899/64GB. The iPhone 4S 16GB will be $599 and the iPhone 4, $399. Preorders start Sep 14th and will be available Friday, September 21st for Canada, US and 7 other countries. (iOS 6 will be available Sep 19th as a free update)
New iTunes
iTunes has also been redesigned. It features a full window interface that's a lot simpler and cleaner. It features a new Library view that makes it easy to view all your content and an expandable Album view, which with a click allows you to see all its track listings. When you're previewing a song you can still browse and it will continue to play. You can even share directly to Twitter and Facebook.
The Up Next feature allows you to see just that and if you choose to change the order you can do that too.
One nifty item is the creation of a new Mini Player which allows you to control your tunes from within a small toolbar without having to return to your main library.
Search has also been enhanced, now showing results in-line.
The new iTunes also offers seamless integration with iCloud which has the smarts to place your purchases into your computer's library regardless as to whether you purchase it using your iPhone, iPad or computer. The new version, PC & Mac, will be available as a free download in late October and with 435 million iTunes accounts, their servers will be busy.
New iPod nano & iPod Touch
Also, as expected, there's a refresh to the iPod line although many may not have guessed what Apple was going to do with them.
The iPod shuffle appears to remain as is. The iPod nano previously shrunken down from the candy bar size seems to have regained its stature. The new 7th generation iPod nano is being touted as the thinnest one ever measuring just 5.4mm. It features a 2.5-inch multi-touch display. It has a home button and new home screen as well as cleverly placed controls to do what you need to do without even having to look at the screen.
A nice surprise is the addition of Bluetooth allowing you to listen to your tunes through many of the Bluetooth enabled speakers and headphones now available. Amazing extended battery life is rated at 30 hours. New features incorporate an FM-tuner with DVR capabilities as well as built-in fitness capabilities including a pedometer.
The new nano is available in 7 colors and will be available in one capacity only, 16 GB for $149.
The iPod touch has also been given an overhaul. Like the iPhone 5, it has a 4 inch Retina display, touted as the thinnest iPod touch ever, measuring a mere 6mm and weighing just 88g. It has a respectable dual-core A5 chip with twice the power and 7 times the graphics as the previous fourth-generation iPod touch.
The 5th generation touch also has a new iSight camera not as high res as the iPhone but respectable nonetheless. Its camera comes in at 5 megapixels and includes autofocus support, high def 1080p video recording and also includes video image stabilization, face detection and an LED flash.
And a nice little surprise for some: the new iPod touch will come in 5 colors and will include a color matched loop wrist strap.
The new touch will run iOS 6 and features Siri, Apple's virtual assistant.
Both new iPod models will come with the new Lightning connector as well as Apple's redesigned EarPods reinvented for easier and better fit and better sound quality. (iPhone 5 also gets the new EarPods)
The new iPod touch will ship in 2 capacities: 32 GB ($299) and 64GB ($399). Pre-orders will begin September 14 with delivery sometime in October. The 4th generation models will still be available in 16GB and 32GB for $199 and $249 respectively.
For someone who already has a phone or doesn't need one, the touch is certainly a great way to access some of the over 700k apps that are available.
Final Note
You'll note that at today's Apple event that there were no updates related to the iMac or any hint of an iPad mini. Interestingly, I find it quite curious that the 64GB iPod touch is selling for around $400. This makes me wonder where and at what price point the highly anticipated iPad mini, expected to arrive in time for the holidays, would fit in. Regardless, after today's announcements, I'm sure Apple will be adding to the 400 million iOS devices they've already sold.

Police 'vote rigging' probe into Labour could be UK-wide
POLICE inquiries into allegations of trade union vote rigging in the Labour Party could spread to constituencies across the UK, it emerged yesterday.
Police Scotland has been asked to probe potential irregularities in the parliamentary selection process in areas such as Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire, Dumfries-shire and Crawley in Sussex.
The Unite union has been accused of funding Labour memberships for dozens of activists in Falkirk, Stirlingshire, to influence the selection of a replacement for MP Eric Joyce, who was expelled after a brawl in a Commons bar.
This would have given new members voting rights to secure the selection of Unite-backed candidate Karie Murphy, who ran ex-Labour election co-ordinator Tom Watson's office.
Seven people have revealed they were signed up as party members without consent. Ms Murphy has been suspended from the party along with constituency party chairman Stephen Deans.
Mr Watson has also quit as Labour's vice chairman and general election co-ordinator.
It has sparked a crisis within the Labour Party, which faces accusations it has lost control of its hard left union paymasters.
I know nothing about it. We have a good working relationship
The new allegations came amid revelations Unite had tried to oust shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander from his Paisley and Renfrewshire South seat.
Leaked minutes from a Unite governing council meeting appear to show a plan to remove Mr Alexander when a Boundary Commission review threatened to merge his constituency with that of his neighbouring MP Jim Sheridan, who chairs Unite's parliamentary group.
Henry Smith, Tory MP for Crawley, has asked Police Scotland Chief Constable Sir Stephen House to probe further possible cases of vote rigging across the country.
Mr Smith said: "My suspicions are that the potential fraud in Falkirk is actually happening in other constituencies up and down the UK."
Unite insist that there is "nothing questionable" about their actions.
Of any plot to unseat Mr Alexander, Mr Sheridan: "I know nothing about it. We have a good working relationship."
A Labour spokesman said: "We are determined to ensure that every Labour candidate is selected in an open, transparent and fair way that respects the members and the traditions of this party."

How to Create an Online Business for Something You're Passionate About
For a couple of years, I had a lot of self-doubt and my whole life was held back by some fears I had. Basically, I had a terrible opinion about myself and I didn't think I could accomplish anything in life. This way of thinking stopped me from chasing my ambitions for many years, until one day, I said – enough is enough – and started working on my passion. During the very beginning, I only wanted to try doing things I was interested in. I wasn't planning on building a business of my own, however, as time passed, things changed and I started thinking about the possibility of starting my own online business. The prospect of having an internet based business revolving around the things I loved and working from home was very exciting for me. During those times, I already did some work for a few websites and earned money through them. While I enjoyed doing this, I still had the ambition to go further and do better. The modern age opens up many possibilities, as there is a huge amount of knowledge you can use when starting up a business. Furthermore, there is a huge market for many different products or services and this opens various possibilities for monetizing various passion projects. So, the question is, do you have what it takes to make it?
What's an online based business?
Just because a business is online doesn't mean that it works any different than other types of businesses. You will still have to offer something to your potential customers, services, products, workshops or courses. The important thing to accomplish is to find balance between what you are passionate about and the things you are good at, while at the same time incorporating these two with what people want. Just doing what you love will not suffice. It's a good start. However, if you want to create a business that can achieve success, you will have to offer things which are in demand – love or no love, that's how it is. There are a couple business models for this types of services. My focus is on a business model called information business. Here, you sell your expertise and knowledge in many different areas. This may seem scary, however you don't have to be an expert in order to teach someone – the only thing you have to do is to know more.
Why should you create an online business?
The primary reason why I decided to start an internet based business was because I felt like it was my duty to do so. I advise people not to start a business for which they are not passionate about. Even when you love the thing you do, it can be very hard and challenging to manage a solid and profitable business. However, if you put a lot of work into it and strive to do things properly, you will be rewarded greatly. You can go and live whenever you want, as your job travels with you; control your time and work, rather than the other way around; and live a fulfilling and free life. And, if you incorporate business with something that you love, you will enjoy life even more. Running your online business means that you can work when you see fit, and you won't have to get up early and go to work every day. Still, being lazy will get you nowhere and the first 2 years or so will be very exhausting, like when starting up any other business.
The drawbacks
It takes a lot time, dedication and hard work to run a stable online business. This is why I suggest having a full time regular job alongside this. First of all, you don't know how long it will take for your business to become profitable and this is why you need your regular job income. Furthermore, you can use that money to boost your business and invest in things that may help you improve your service or market your products. Work hard on your venture when you have some time off from your regular job and, when things start to look good, you can consider leaving that position. Apart from this, your regular job will keep you in shape, as you can learn valuable lessons from your boss. Having two jobs can be exhausting and you will have to prepare yourself mentally for the challenges that lay ahead. Starting your own ecommerce store means that you will be the only boss, and therefore the only person responsible for your success or failure. You must depend on yourself and find ways to fix things. If you are unable to do so, then consider asking for help. Still, you must have a mature mindset that focuses on fixing problems on your own – if you rely on other people too much, you will become obsolete and incompetent to perform your everyday tasks. Constantly improving yourself is the key and you must learn to overcome your fears and take drastic measures. In my opinion, this is not so much of a drawback and I see this as a positive thing, however some people may think otherwise. Since I started to do my work online, I had grown so much and learned new things due to the dynamic of the business. You will have to push yourself forward all the time. Sometimes, this can be annoying, but I love doing what I do.
Skills you will have to work on in order to succeed
Even though I think that anyone can start an online business and make money, I don't think that it's good for everyone. If you don't really feel like this is something you should do then don't do it. If something or someone is pressuring you to do this don't go through with it. Nothing good can come out of it and you might get bored with the whole thing when it's too late. There are many other things you can do and getting into something for which you are unsure will not lead to a positive outcome. There are a couple of useful skills you must have.
Here are a couple you should definitively consider:
- Creating content: One of the most useful tools for attracting an engaging customers is through good content. This is why you must learn to create quality content. Doing this could mean recording podcasts, writing or creating videos. Through these three, you will attract readers and build a brand people can trust.
- An entrepreneur's mindset: it is very important to train your mind to be a machine of determination. Once you achieve this, not only that you will be successful in business, but you will also improve the quality of your life. You will encounter many obstacles along the way, and things will get hard, but if you get through them and keep going, then no obstacle will ever be unsurpassable for you.
- The ability to focus on things that matter: this is probably one of the most important attributes an entrepreneur must have. By having an ability to focus on essential issues, you will know how to get the results you want. It's business, and furthermore, it's yours and there is no time to play around. You must create quality and sell it to other people – period. Learn how to make customers happy, bring revenue while enjoying life and enhance those to perfection.
- Delegation: as a business owner, you will do a lot, however you can't do everything. A good leader knows when to drop something he or she isn't good at and delegate that task to someone more proficient. Focus on your strengths rather than your weaknesses, while improving your weak side through the work of others.
How will the business make money
An online business is basically a platform. Through this platform, the possibilities for earning money arise. With a bit of patience and effort put into building a well-designed platform, you can make a lot of cash. Many people find it hard to believe that you can make actual money online, so in order to show you how this is not true, I will present a couple of ways to make money using the information business model.
- Affiliate marketing: an affiliate business is a site that sales other people's products. Your income comes from a commission that can go from 5 % to 100 %, depending on what kind of deal you have. This is an easy and quick way to start earning through your online business, and this can help you complement services or products.
- Providing services: consulting, group coaching and individual coaching packages are very popular in certain markets. All of these things depend on what type of service you wish to provide and what clients or customers you want to attract. When you offer services, you are basically trading your time for money, and over time, your price range can improve as you will learn a lot through your customers.
- Ecommerce store: if you want to have an online store, then you will have to create products which are in demand. Furthermore, it is important to advertise your products and invest some money into a marketing campaign, so that your site can attract potential buyers. Once you create your products, you won't have to waste resources on maintenance. Furthermore, the margins for profit are great, since there is no shipping, storage, etc.
The key is to have a well-built platform that has all the resources necessary. Once you have this, many opportunities for making money will come up. You can partner with other sites, hold workshops, etc. This is the beauty of an online business, as you can choose different ways to earn if you start things properly, however it doesn't happen overnight.
Things you should look to avoid
Since I've gone through this whole process on my own, I know where people usually make mistakes. Sometimes, mistakes are unavoidable and they are necessary for a person to learn. The important things is to remain calm and keep on going in spite of it. For me, it took a long time before things started falling into place. Let go of the overnight success idea and build your business step by step. Pay attention on these things:
- Rushing: there is no need to rush. I get it – you want to start making money as quickly as possible. But, rushing will only slow things down. It may sound strange, but it's a fact. Relax, perform your tasks on a regular basis and wait.
- Overwhelming yourself: you should definitively avoid starting more than one website or business at the same time. It may seem that you can accomplish this, but it's highly unlikely. The amount of work you will have to put in grows gradually over time, and you will just burn out and be less efficient. Pick one idea on which you should focus and stop trying to do more than you actually can.
- Setting high expectations: when it comes to expectations, tread lightly. If things don't go as well as you hope, you might feel disappointed and loose the necessary motivation to move forward.
It takes a lot of time to think about your business and all of the things involved to starting one. Learn from successful examples and find a way of your own. Once you think you are ready go through with it. Sure, the situation is never going to be perfect, but you will have to make that first step and face your fears if you want to make it on your own. I hope this helps you in your future endeavors.

Before we get to the article at hand many might ask why we cover political and health issues when our main focus in the stock markets and the financial arena. The short and simple answer is that all these fields are connected; we don't have free market forces anymore. Everything is manipulated; from the food, you eat to data you are provided.
If you are aware of this you can plan accordingly. Identifying the problem is over 80% of the solution and this is why most people don't know what to do because they don't really understand the problem. Now you know why we are the only financial website that covers such a wide array of topics that on the surface appear to be unrelated but are in fact, deeply interwoven. Mass psychology is a very powerful tool and if employed correctly can help you spot the grotesque levels of manipulation the masses are subjected to. We strongly suggest that you view or read or view Plato's allegory of the cave. You might also find the following article to be of interest:
Our hats off to the German defence minister, Leyen for standing up to the House of Saud Bandits. After all these guys drink, fornicate with porn stars, take drugs and do everything that goes against Islam and then they have the nerve to instil such harsh laws. If the punishment for breaking these laws was enforced, every single prince would be dead or jailed by now. Thus it is clear, that their only objective is to create division and promote radical Islam in the hopes of fostering unrest all over the world.

Gilbert Castellos says, "It's good to see young people really embracing this music." Typically dressed smart, his wheat green suit fitting him as though he were a model in a Lands' End catalogue, he stands back to see the trio assembling themselves onstage. He smiles. Tonight, a Wednesday, is the weekly Young Lions showcase at Croce's Park West.
Earlier this year, Castellanos, one of San Diego's jazz icons, dreamed up the Young Lions showcase as a way to give young jazz musicians a chance to perform at one of San Diego's premier nightspots. "I started this program because if you're a young musician, where are you going to play when you can't get in the door?" he says. Castellanos proceeds to list the number of San Diego nighttime music spots, bars where admittance is restricted to those of drinking age, 21 and over, and are hence off limits to musicians who are not of legal age.
The award-winning trumpet player and bandleader feels that he has an obligation to provide a platform for young musicians. As a youngster growing up in Fresno, he credits the older musicians who took him under their wings and helped him get his experience on stage and performing in public. "These guys that I started with were great players," he says. "They told me that if I learned a standard, they would let me play with them. I went home and practiced Freddie Hubbard's "Little Sunflower." I went back the next week, but they wouldn't let me play!" Though a fine composition, Castellanos learned that there were certain tunes that jazz musicians thought of as standards and "Little Sunflower" was not among them.
Mistake made. Lesson learned. The teenage Castellanos found some standard tunes, learned them, and returned to perform with the veteran players. He says, "I made it into the band and I want to do that for younger players now."
Still on Fifth Avenue but several blocks north of the site of the original Croce's, Croce's Park West bills itself as a neighborhood restaurant and bar, which is a bit different from the Gaslamp hub that Croce's had been. Situated across the street from Saint Paul's Cathedral and occupying the building where Lips used to be before that establishment made its way to El Cajon Boulevard, the interior has been updated to that of mahogany and brass, and, as far as I could tell, the plumbing problems that plagued the home of drag dining have been remedied as well.
The first difference from the old Croce's that I noted was that the night that we came for the Young Lions showcase we drove up and parked right outside of the restaurant, Doris Day style. Just imagine that happening just once in the Malthusian crunch of the Gaslamp District. The new restaurant bar is also more spacious than its former incarnation.
Unlike the old Croce's, where you practically became a member of the band as you walked past or through them to enter the bar, the music is now at the back of the establishment. On a small stage is a grand piano. The night we were there a bass and small drum kit were off to the side. Mementos and reminders of the life of Jim Croce still adorn the walls, including the absolutely huge mural of the cigar chomping singer of such hits as "Operator" and "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" that used to peer out from the back wall of the old establishment.
The Young Lions has been going on since February, when Castellanos approached Croce's to serve as the host of the program. Croce's is a major music venue and also a restaurant that serves food as well as drinks. As a restaurant, there is no age restriction on patrons. Folks from nine to 99 can enjoy a meal there.
Decades ago it may not have been so difficult for young players to start playing in clubs. After Prohibition was repealed in 1933, about half the states established the legal drinking age at 18. Thirty years ago, in 1984, Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act, which tied the granting of federal highway funds to the individual states' setting the drinking age at 21. Within a few short years legal drinking age of 21 was established across the country for all alcoholic beverages: spirits, beer, and wine.
The reasons for this uniform higher age limit are many. With the Interstate Highway system fully in place, people were driving more. Alcohol made these new highways unsafe. The law was passed also in large part due to pressure from Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Traffic deaths as a percentage of population declined after 1984. As of 2005 the highway death rate had dropped to one death per 10,000 per year.
To get the Young Lions program off the ground Castellanos put the word out on Facebook and started receiving responses right away. The age limit to be a young lion is 23 and under. The program's emphasis is on the leader of the band. The chosen musician has to act like a true leader. It is his or her responsibility to put the group together and put the sets together. Castellanos explains that it is the leader of the band who has to be under 24. As the leader puts the band together, he or she can call on other young musicians or veteran players. The other members of the band do not have the age requirement.
To audition to be in the Young Lions program, young musicians send Castellanos audio files or videos of their performances. Though he doesn't expect that all the young musicians share the same talents as veteran performers, he nonetheless sets some pretty high standards and not everyone gets a shot at a Wednesday night. He also expects the musicians to dress well when they perform. He says, "For us musicians this is our church. Are you going to go to church and not dress right?"
It is probably no surprise that Castellanos would establish a mentoring program for young musicians. For nearly 20 years the trumpeter, who has toured the world as a member of the Clayton Hamilton Jazz Orchestra and whose recording credits include Michael Bublé, Willie Nelson, and Diana Krall, led jam sessions that have fostered the talents and careers of dozens of musicians. For many years these sessions were held at the Onyx Room; they are now held weekly at Seven Grand in North Park. Among those who sing his praises for mentoring their music are singer/songwriter Nena Anderson and violinist Jamie Shadowlight.
Dressed in a suit, white shirt, and dark tie is tonight's young lion, Ryan Shaw. Shaw has been playing drums since the second grade and is currently a student at USC. Fresh faced, but with a haircut that looks like the ones issued to the Apollo astronauts, he has an appearance of greater maturity. Recognizing his talent a couple year back, Castellanos introduced Shaw to Jeff Hamilton, one of jazz's greatest drummers performing today, who accepted Shaw as a private student. The young drummer says that besides Hamilton he has been influenced by Mel Lewis and Max Roach. Shaw chose a couple other young performers to join him for tonight's performance: Keiffer Shackelford on piano and Owen Clapp on bass.
This trio has played as part of the Young Lions before, performing a night of Oscar Peterson. Tonight's music is dedicated to trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Thad Jones. As the trio makes their way through "Darn That Dream" and the waltz "A Child Is Born" Shaw carries the look of intense concentration usually reserved for surgeons and chess grand masters. There is a great deal of Oscar Peterson in Shackelford's playing, but he gives his playing a little more room, more space, than Peterson. The piano sounds great in this new room. I don't see that Clapp has his bass plugged into an amplifier. Is he playing totally acoustic? Wow. The room is not that large, and there's not a lot of clinking glasses or other noise. Even still, a pretty brave move for this young player. What's also great is that this bass player has one of the best sounds I've heard in a while, full and timbral.
Younger players, full of adrenaline and moxy, are known for muscling their way through up-tempo tunes. So I'm surprised by how subdued the performance is tonight. Like Shackelford, Shaw is giving a lot of space to his soloing. Clapp keeps a walking bass line going through most of his soloing.
As the band takes a break, Castellanos is off to Seven Grand to lead the jam session later that night. He is pleased and knows that the rest of the Young Lions night will go well. He says, "We don't have to worry about the future of jazz with guys like these coming up."
See Gilbert Castellanos and the Young Lions every Wednesday night, starting at 7pm, at Croce's Park West, 2760 5th Avenue.

Pork belly + fried egg + soup + rice = tasty $8 lunch at Little Ongpin
Value Meal #3 at this delightful Filipino-Chinese eatery has ingrained itself into my lunchtime cravings so deeply that it's hard to order anything else when I visit. $7.95 gets you the day's soup, deep-fried pork belly, garlic rice, and a fried egg (mix into the rice–trust me).
For a true Pinoy experience, eat the pork with a heap of the bagoong salad that accompanies the combo, but beware: shrimp paste is pungent and not to be had in copious quantities on your first try.
Other value meals are available if you prefer fried fish or BBQ & spring rolls to pork–all under $8, and all worth trying at least once.

As you might have heard Microsoft has announced @MIX conference a new protocol for data sharing and exposure in a RESTful manner. It is called Open Data Protocol (OData for short), published under Microsoft Open Specification Promise (OSP), and in case you need more information just visit the official www.odata.org web site. Official description of the protocol is as follows:
"The Open Data Protocol (OData) provides a way to unlock your data and free it from silos that exist in applications today, making it easy for data to be shared in a manner that follows the philosophy of Open Data. OData enables a new level of data integration and interoperability across a broad range of clients, servers, services, and tools."
The nice part of the new protocol is that it is gaining wide adoption and Microsoft teams have also included support into the following applications: SharePoint 2010, Windows Azure Tables, SQL Azure and SQL Server Reporting Services. For additional producers, also from other vendors, check this site.
Even nicer part is how easy it is to expose your SQL Azure database via OData. What you need is, of course, SQL Azure database account (for exposing data) and then you can sign-up on the www.sqlazurelabs.com site to "enable one checkbox"…
And voila, your data is exposed as OData, and all the URI querying fun can begin:

When & How Did Switzerland Become So Rich?
Switzerland (or Helvetia, the original name of the state) is one of the most amazing and unique countries in the World. Despite of its' small territory and low international political activity, it has very high level of life and is well-known all around the World.
If you ask somebody what he knows about Switzerland, you would probably get such kind of answer: reliable banks, expensive watches, knifes, tasty chocolate and cheese, prosperity, stability. If you try to find something negative in news about this country, you would likely fail, because Swiss Republic never takes part in wars and has very low level of criminality. So how did Switzerland manage to get such a high status? To answer this question we should turn to history and geography of this distinctive country.
Let's start with geographical position of Switzerland–this country is situated in the centre of Western Europe, contains Alps, a lot of forests, lakes and waterfalls, has temperate continental climate. All these factors positively affect the attractiveness of Switzerland for tourists and as a consequence, the economical growth of the state.
Now let's figure out what was the key point of the history of Helvetia.In 1815 the main decision in the history of country was made–Vienna Congress confirmed the neutrality of Switzerland.Since that time Switzerland never took part in any war, though it always had arms to protect itself, and none of its' banks was robbed. Security of costs and keeping of banking secrecy made Switzerland the most popular state among foreigners for keeping their money. As a matter of fact, Switzerland gets a huge amounts of costs from banking fees (money that bank clients have to pay for keeping their funds).
So the answer for question "When and how did Switzerland become so rich?" is–having favorable geographical position and accepting neutrality in 1815. This two factors led to growth and prosperity of modern Helvetia.
Key words: Switzerland, Helvetia, prosperity, growth, bank, neutrality, geographical position.

For my Sewing Pattern Review Click Here
Welcome to my Blog where I aim to chronicle and share my experiences in Sewing. My Wonderful Mum taught me how to sew many moons ago, but I hadn't sewn for many years until 2012 when my now husband and I decided to get married in Lapland.The only way I could create "The Winter Queen" image I had, was to make it myself. It re-kindled my love of sewing and have been sewing ever since. And yes, that is me in my profile photo…

Well done! Hopefully the builders will be finished soon.ReplyDelete
Great dress and quite the accomplishment given your current construction project and lack of sewing room. I hope the dust isn't getting to you too badly!ReplyDelete
Super shirt dress, I like the two tone effect and the mandarin collar, the poppers are great too, I'm too nervous to use my popper set!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Lynsey!Delete
I was scared to do the poppers too Lynsey, but once I'd got the first one in I was on a roll!
I certainly understand your angst with the upheaval of your home and sewing room. Nevertheless, your sewing mojo persevered and you have made a wonderful dress. I love how the fabrics complement each other and it looks very well made.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Tomasa!Delete
Now, that is sensible, setting up a table elsewhere. But with all the distractions, no wonder this took so long and you are tired of it. Still, it will be there for next summer and will look fresh when you are less jaded from everything. Hope the building starts coming to an end soon - won't it be nice to get all back in order.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Sarah Liz.Delete
I love the details of your pretty dress, Dawn. Looks very neat :)ReplyDelete
So pretty! I love your fabric choices.ReplyDelete

It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Spark Plug for your automobile. Porsche automobile drivers have grown accustomed to a certain level of ultimate performance when driving their 914 around town. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. Anyone who owns a Porsche knows that when it comes to maintaining their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Some engine parts are tucked away out of sight, so they can be forgotten about when performing regular maintenance. The job of detonating the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chambers in the engine is your Porsche 914 spark plug. Basic spark plugs use a copper electrode, while performance spark plugs use platinum or iridium on all current models. When one of the spark plugs does not fire when it should, the engine in your Porsche 914 will not turn as hard; leading to an increase in unburnt hydrocarbon emissions and a decrease in horsepower and fuel economy.
Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Get your 914 back on the road with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. If your car or truck was built in 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, then you will find the correct Porsche 914 Spark Plug parts right here.


text: I am very interested in rooting, but have been having trouble. I've never done anything like this before so even after searching the forums in threads which people have had trouble, I don't understand the solutions. I'm going to give the run through to where I am now, sorry about how little I know, am very lost. 1) I used the Idiot-Proof guide to root 2) The phone was pretty new and I hardly had any applications on there so I decided to skip to step 14 like the tutorial says. 3) Everything seemed to be going well until I tried to install the ROM, getting an error message when I tried apply sdcard:update.zip. 4) I tried to install Fresh after the first ROM not working and that didn't do anything either so I wanted to see if I actually was rooted. 5) I read that to check if you're rooted download Titanium Backup and when launching it if you get an error message you aren't rooted. 6) I got an error message so figure I did something in the actual root incorrectly. 7) I want to try everything over again, but am not sure how to go about doing that. Do I just delete the files that I downloaded in the tutorial or is there something else? I am worried I may brick my phone by just deleting things before finding out for sure first. Once again apologize for the newbness of these questions, looking to learn more. edit - what I was getting is "e: can't open/cache/recovery/command

THE EFFECT OF ORGANICS ON THE SORPTION OF COBALT BY GLACIAL SAND IN LABORATORY BATCH EXPERIMENTSFunded under: FP1-RADWASTOM 3C
Acetate, EDTA and organic compounds naturally present in groundwater at the Drigg in-situ radionuclide migration experimental site have been studied to assess their effect on the sorption of cobalt by glacial sand. Removing 56% of the natural organic material from the groundwater with DEAE cellulose increased the distribution ratio R(d) of cobalt by a factor of about two. EDTA had a dramatic effect even at low concentrations, reducing the R(d) by up to two orders of magnitude. At EDTA concentrations greater than 5mg/l there was no further reduction in sorption. EDTA was not itself sorbed, but formed a mobile complex with Co. Within the same period of equilibrium, the Rd values were higher when cobalt was allowed to reach equilibrium with the sand before adding EDTA. The desorption of cobalt from the mineral surface may be a rate limiting step such that equilibrium was not achieved within the 14 day period of these experiments. Acetate had no effect on cobalt sorption in any of the experiments undertaken.

For Champaign-area REALTOR® P.J. Trautman, showing teenagers the value of volunteering for local charities was one of the best volunteer experiences of the past year.
"I really enjoyed engaging with the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) youth during their civic engagement weekend," says Trautman. "It was awesome to see the students engage with different organizations. It also helped them understand the need for volunteerism in Central Illinois."
Through the 2016 United Way Emerging Community Leader Program, Trautman and five other young adults partnered with kids age 14 to 19 in the SYEP. They formed a team to represent the Champaign School District and organized multiple projects over a weekend. Activities included:
- Sorting clothing and household goods for a local thrift store and an emergency resource center;
- Playing games and helping residents of assisted living facilities and nursing homes with arts and crafts projects;
- Cleaning a local horse rescue center and feeding the animals;
- Helping with a Habitat for Humanity project;
- Helping at a community garden; and
- Sorting and shelving books at a children's bookstore that supports orphans, foster children and families.
But the broker for Champaign County Realty says that his work with SYEP was just one of his volunteer projects during the past year. "This year I volunteered for the Eastern Illinois Food Bank, United Way, Habitat for Humanity, and within the Champaign County Association of REALTORS® I regularly help coordinate and facilitate our annual Bundles of Warmth Blanket Drive and Box Fan Drive for needy individuals in our community. These blankets and fans are donated to numerous local charities and emergency resource centers.
"This year I also volunteered to be on the Eastern Illinois Foodbank Prom Court. The Eastern Illinois Foodbank provides more than 47,000 meals a month to partner agencies that provide food to alleviate hunger in East Central Illinois. The Eastern Illinois Foodbank Prom is an adult prom, much like the prom you remember from high school. Males and females volunteer to raise money for the foodbank as members of the prom court. The top male is crowned as king and the top female is selected as queen. In addition, the night included an auction, a raffle, food, an open bar, a DJ and dancing."
Why get involved?
"United Way and the Eastern Illinois Food Bank are great organizations that support multiple local charitable organizations," he says. "It was a great way to meet other young professionals who want to take an active leadership role in our local community, and to help facilitate actual assistance to a wide variety of organizations in the Central Illinois area."
Trautman, who was born and raised in the Champaign/Urbana area, says: "I think volunteering in your local community is a fantastic opportunity. It helps you engage and meet people you might not typically associate with. It is extremely rewarding and enlightening. I have met dozens of awesome people while volunteering. I believe volunteering helps you understand the needs and struggles within the community you serve as a professional. Champaign/Urbana and Central Illinois have afforded me an amazing opportunity to earn a living in a very vibrant and diverse community, and I enjoying giving back to it."
Starting local and expanding
Trautman, who became a REALTOR® in 2008, has served the Champaign County Association of REALTORS® through several committees and working groups, including: the CMLS Committee, Member Services Working Group, Public Relations and Marketing Committee, Governmental Affairs Committee, Affiliate Networking Working Group and Young Professionals Network.
"I also speak as an appraiser member to our incoming new members at membership orientation. I provide these new members with insight on how the appraisal portion of a transaction works. I am currently enrolled in the Illinois REALTORS® Leadership Development Program, and I am a member of the state association's Professionals Standards Committee and Professional Development Member Involvement Group."

This is a Geoffroy's bat video from Belgium.
Translated from Dutch Vroege Vogels radio:
Friday, January 13, 2017
A Geoffroy's bat was found during the annual count of bats in the World War II bunker in Burgh-Haamstede in Zeeland province. It is the first time that this very rare species has been observed in Zeeland. …
Geoffroy's bats in the Netherlands live almost exclusively in South Limburg limestone quarries. The census also reported several hundred wintering Daubenton's bats, as well as some 30 Natterer's bats, some 20 brown long-eared bats and two whiskered bats.
