L-Carnosine is a dipeptide composed of the covalently bonded amino acids alanine and histidine and is found in the brain, heart, skin, muscles, kidneys and stomach. L-Carnosine is naturally produced in the body by the enzyme carnosine synthetase. L-Carnosine supports healthy aging and cellular rejuvenation by its effects on two mechanisms: Glycosylation and Free Radical Damage. Glycosylation is the oxidation of proteins by glucose resulting in cross-linking of proteins and which is implicated in loss of cell function, genome integrity and accelerated aging. L-Carnosine also protects the aging process of the brain by reducing lipid peroxidation and stabilizing cell membranes.

WINGS of Hope is not a crisis organisation. For urgent assistance please visit the Suicide Prevention Australia website or view our 'Urgent Help' tab.
Every 3.5 hours an Australian takes their own life. Every 8 minutes a person attempts suicide costing the community $17.5 billion each year, and untold grief and sorrow for those left behind. When a person is bereaved by suicide they can be at risk of suicidality themselves. This is not always the case for each individual, but often the grief is more intense and complicated than many other forms of grief.
Postvention is the supports and interventions after a suicide loss. WINGS of Hope is of the few organisations of its kind founded and run by suicide bereaved people for the bereaved by suicide community. This is the only organisation free from political, religious or other governance, run by bereaved people for those bereaved by suicide.
The WINGS of Hope website provides harm prevention information, educational resources and support for those bereaved by suicide. Read about the important projects the organisation sponsors or supports. Read poetry, stories and articles on the community page, giving hope and inspiration to the bereaved. Learn how you can support events, sponsor a project or make a donation.
Thank you for visiting this site and learning about these important community supports.

You are not alone in your loss.
- In 2006, Australian suicides accounted for nearly 1/5 of all deaths amongst young men aged 20 to 34.
- Suicide remains a major external cause of death, accounting for more deaths in Australia than transport accidents.

Rowdy's Dream Blog #227: Together we browse in a music store.I am driving my dark blue Jaguar down a dark, wooded road. I slam on the brakes when I notice the car in front of me has stopped. I swerve to miss it and then barely avoid hitting a tree. The driver is a guy I know from work. He gives me a dirty look, backs up and then turns right into the trees. I follow him. Just through the trees is a huge shopping mall. My old flame A is now with me. Together we browse in a music store. She is impressed with the freebies being offered and thinks we might be able to "record a whole song!" I take notice of the recording devices and comment that from the look of the foot pedals, dip switches and tiny windows, that this must be a dream. Public Comments (2)

Brownies with Bacon Caramel
Author Notes: There is not much to say other than; Everything is better with bacon.
These are probably the most decadent and delicious brownies I have ever eaten. They will keep for about a week (if it lasts that long!) in the refrigerator but make sure to heat them up before serving or eating. This will make the caramel in the center nice and gooey.
This recipe makes a large baking dish worth of brownies that can feed a crowd with left overs. It can easily be halved. - bethmichelle
Makes a lot!
- 4 pieces Bacon
- 1 cup Cream
- 2 cups Sugar
- 12 tablespoons Butter
- In pan, fry 4 slices of bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside and reserve bacon grease in pan.
- Add cream to bacon grease and let cool completely.
- Crumble bacon and add to cream
- In a pot heat sugar over medium heat until sugar turns to liquid and turns a light brown color.
- Add butter and cream mixture to sugar and stir until combined and butter is melted.
- Set aside.
- 12 tablespoons Butter
- 12 ounces Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
- 6 Eggs
- 2 cups Sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 2 cups Flour
- 3 pieces Bacon, Cooked and Crumbled
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Grease a large baking dish (I used a 13X8 1/2)
- In a large pot melt chocolate chips and butter over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and add cocoa and eggs (one at a time, beating after each addition)
- Add sugar, vanilla and lastly flour. Stir until combined
- Pour half the brownie batter into baking dish and layer with half of the caramel.
- Pour the rest of the brownie batter on top of the caramel and layer with rest of caramel.
- Using a knife swirl the caramel into the brownie batter and top with crumbled bacon.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes. Keep on eye on the brownies while baking. You do not want to over cook them. You want them to be slightly undercooked so they stay soft and the caramel stays gooey.
- Let cool completely. Cut into small pieces right before serving.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for The Recipe You Want To Be Remembered For

Although this was really delicious the bacon flavour and the hit of salty/sweet I was waiting for didn't come through. The next time I make these (and there will be a next time) I will adjust the bacon quantities to suit my taste buds. Great recipe. Thanks!

Oh my goodness... I agree.. Bacon Jam is to die for.
Excellent on an angus burger.

Tears came to my eyes when I read this recipe! I've made bacon pralines, but these sound fantastic! Can't wait to try them with my home cured bacon.

Emily is a trusted source on Scandinavian Cuisine.
A friend of mine actually belongs to a bacon-appreciation club - I haven't been invited yet and am perpetually green with envy about it - I'll certainly have to share this recipe with her. Or just make a batch...and then eat all of them myself!

These sound seriously good! So true about bacon...

These sound incredible. I too love bacon in sweets but have never thought of brownies. The bacon and caramel combo (like salt and caramel) must be ridiculous. Can't wait to try it out!
almost 3 years ago kmartinelli
I can vouch for how insanely delicious and decadent these brownies are. One little piece is more than enough. Mmmm...

These are now baking in my oven .... how could I NOT immediately make them when I read: Brownie. Bacon. Caramel. Cannot wait to try them as they smell out-of-this-world. Thank you, bethmichelle.
PS Bacon jam is also a favorite of mine .. amazing on any kind of burger!!
almost 3 years ago bethmichelle
Thats amazing! Hope you like them!
almost 3 years ago dymnyno
Lately, I have fallen in love with bacon jam...this is the next step of the addiction!
almost 3 years ago dymnyno
Just curious...what was the inspiration for the delicious brownies? Is it an original recipe?
almost 3 years ago bethmichelle
Bacon jam?! That sounds pretty fabulous! As for my inspiration for the brownies, I love putting bacon in sweets, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cupcakes and even just candied bacon. I thought then why not brownies. I saw a recipe somewhere awhile ago that was for caramel brownies and combined that with the bacon idea!

It is the most inspiring part of this great product! The feedback keeps me honest, on track and wanting my Trophy! I absolutely Love Polar and my husband for upgrading me from the a3 to the FT 60 for Mother's Day!
›And I now love Mondy mornings just to see my STARS -Pam Andrews
I have been using my FT60 since Jan 09, previously before that I had a F11. I found the FT60 easier to use and to understand, which has motivated me more to exercise in all the different zones and has taught me the importance to work in all three zones. I am a 47 year old instructor and most of my workouts were always in the higher zones. I never could seem to lose or tone up those last 5 lbs. Now I avidly train in zone 1, I believe I have even become possed with it. I have never been a big believer in training in the lower zone, but when you experience the change in your body composition and your workouts become easier and stronger in your higher zones, you start believing quickly. I now strongly recommend workouts in all three zones to my clients, especially in Zone 1. And I now love Mondy mornings just to see my STARS.
›I love the feedback of the calories I burn with each workout, plus the website providing everything in graphical form is amazing -Penny Conner
I was basically a sedentary person after my daughter was born. Once she started kindergarten, I decided it was time to take my health back and focus on being a healthy role model for my little girl. I knew I needed support, so I enlisted the help of a personal trainer at the gym. She guided me to the FT60 which I am completely happy with. It has motivated me in so many ways. I love the feedback of the calories I burn with each workout, plus the website providing everything in graphical form is amazing for a quick look at your fitness improvement. Then came the challenges with other women at the gym! We have a great group of women that motivate each other through the polar personal trainer website as well as when we see each other at the gym! I cannot think of life without my HRM now, it's stylish enough to wear as a watch, and is always there to remind me of my committment to improving my fitness so I can be around for years to come with my family. Thank you Polar! This is an amazing product and you have a customer for life!
›I have a new found FRIEND! -Jaimie
I received my Polar FT60 for Xmas. I had a hard time getting the watch to function when I took it out of the box. I called the help line and took the battery out and voila, I have a new found FRIEND!! I started Dec 28th and I absolutely love all of the functions of the HRM. I strive to consistently complete all of my weekly requirements and also find myself waiting for Sunday at Midnight to get my motivational phrase, stars and trophy and most importantly to weigh in. I recommend this HRM for anyone who seriously wants their very own personal trainer. GREAT GREAT PRODUCT!!

About Giving to YC YC Scholarship Fund York College Fund Planned Giving IRA Charitable Rollover Biblical Stewardship
Printed Forms: Gift Form Draft Form
You may assign York as beneficiary, co-beneficiary, or a secondary, remainder, or residual beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement fund. Annual life insurance dividends also may be assigned to the College. When York is named as owner of a policy, the cash value of the policy may be deducted on your income tax return.
Retirement plan assets may be an especially attractive portion of an estate to give to York College. As the college is a tax-exempt organization, the gift of retirement plan assets avoids both estate and income taxes. This preserves more of the asset for the support of the ministry of York College while the donor may pass on other assets to his/her heirs.

A Denver-based midstream company has announced plans to build another gas processing facility in Noble County.
MarkWest Energy officials says the company will expand plans for its Seneca processing complex with the construction of a third cryogenic gas processing facility, capable of handling more than 200 million cubic feet per day. The first two plants are scheduled to open later this year, and will support rich-gas production from a number of key producers, including Antero, Gulfport, Rex Energy, Consol Energy, and others.
Frank Semple, President and CEO of MarkWest Energy, said on Friday that the company is ŌĆ£excited to be developing midstream solutions in the Utica Shale for proven operators such as Antero and Gulfport.ŌĆØ
MarkWest is also developing the Cadiz complex in Harrison County, which just completed its second successful week of gas processing operations near Scio. By mid-2014, MarkWestŌĆÖs midstream system in the Utica Shale will consist of more than three-hundred miles of gathering pipeline and five processing facilities which will produce almost 1 billion cubic feet per day and 100,000 barrels per day.

Robert L. Johnson was born on April 8, 1946, in Hickory, Mississippi. Johnson founded Black Entertainment Television (BET) in 1979 with his wife, Sheila. He became the first African-American billionaire after selling the network to Viacom in 2001. Johnson has since started a new business, the RLJ Companies, and has invested in an NBA team, a film company, and political causes and campaigns.
Early Life
Robert L. Johnson was born in Hickory, Mississippi, on April 8, 1946. He spent the majority of his childhood in Freeport, Illinois. Johnson graduated from Freeport High School in 1964, and studied history at the University of Illinois. He then earned a master's degree in international affairs from Princeton University.
In 1979, Johnson and his wife Sheila founded Black Entertainment Television, the first cable network targeting the African-American market. It was launched in January 1980, initially broadcasting for two hours a week. In 1991, BET became the first African American-owned company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The network has continued to grow since that time, reaching tens of millions of homes and expanding to include other traditional and digital channels.
In 2000, Viacom announced plans to purchase BET. The sale was finalized the following year and Johnson's majority stake earned him more than $1 billion, making him the richest African American in the United States at that time as well as the first African-American billionaire. Johnson continued to be the company's chairman and CEO for several years before leaving BET to lead the RLJ Companies.
Johnson developed the RLJ Companies following the sale of BET to Viacom. RLJ is a holding company and asset management firm handling a portfolio of companies in the financial services, real estate, hospitality, professional sports, film production, automotive and gaming industries. Johnson has referred to RLJ as his "second act."
Johnson has invested in several notable companies and organizations beyond the reach of RLJ. He was the first African-American principal owner of a North American major-league sports franchise, the Charlotte Bobcats. In 2006, Johnson founded Our Stories Films with partner Harvey Weinstein. The company focuses on family-friendly movies intended for African-American audiences. In 2011, Our Stories released the romantic-comedy feature Jumping the Broom.
In addition to his business ventures, Johnson has involved himself in politics. In 2007, Johnson organized a tour of African-American business leaders to Liberia. This trip led to the creation of the Liberia Enterprise Development Fund. Johnson publicly called for African-American support of Liberia, on the model of Jewish support for Israel. Johnson received criticism for his rebuke of Barack Obama during the 2008 Democratic primary election, in favor of Hillary Clinton.
Personal Life
Johnson was married to Sheila Johnson from 1969 to 2002. The couple, who cofounded BET, divorced a year after selling the network to Viacom. They have two children. Sheila Johnson received one of the largest documented settlements in United States history and subsequently married the judge who presided over the divorce proceedings.

With innovative ideas and charismatic personalities, many African-Americans have made lasting contributions to the country, while also earning millions. Oprah Winfrey emerged as a world-famous one-woman brand with her show, eventually becoming the world's first black billionaire. Robert L. Johnson started BET, the cable channel geared towards African-Americans. Athlete Michael Jordan turned into a household name through numerous endorsement deals. These people were among the first African-Americans to overcome the obstacles of discrimination and achieve top honors in their fields. With talent and determination, each one reinvented not only what it meant to be an African-American, but also what it meant to be an American.

With the return of Brett Favre for his 20th NFL season, a few PR and media types were wondering how many position players have played 20 years in the NFL.
One of the results of looking at this was that the Elias Sports Bureau put George Blanda and his 26 years into the "kicker" category.
I realize where they are coming from here, but it sent my mind back to the career of the great Blanda.
While people most often remember him as the Oakland Raiders' placekicker, that does very little justice to this guy's overall career.
He was drafted out of the University of Kentucky in the 12th round of the 1949 draft. He threw his first pro pass for the Chicago Bears in 1949 and threw his last pro pass for the Raiders in 1975, 26 years later!
Blanda had 340 career games at the quarterback position, completing over 1,900 passes out of over 4,000 for almost 30,000 yards and 236 touchdowns.
He also had 135 career rushing attempts and scored nine times on the ground — his first rushing attempt was in 1949 and his last was 21 years later, still with positive yardage, two attempts for four yards in 1970 for the Raiders.
During his illustrious Hall-of-Fame career he led the NFL or AFL 12 times in passer categories during the seasons spanning 1953 and 1965.
He was a kicker for sure, but he was a lot more than that. By the way, Blanda led the NFL or AFL 36 times in various kicking categories over his career, and just for good measure he is pro football's all-time leader in points (2,002) and field goal attempts (637), as well as in extra points and extra points attempted.
I got to watch him many times when the Houston Oilers were battering the Broncos in the early days of the AFL, before he moved on to the Raiders, and then we all witnessed many great Oakland-Denver matchups within the AFC West.
Two games I will never forget involving Blanda, one with Houston and one with Oakland.
He was kicking for the Raiders and accounted for all their kicking points in the 23-23 tie that marked the Broncos' first-ever Monday Night Football appearance in 1973 — who would have thought when Denver was making its first such appearance that the Broncos would come into 2010 with the longest active consecutive season streak on MNF?
In 1966 the Broncos started off the season with one of the most infamous games in franchise history, failing to make a first down in a game at Houston as Blanda presided over a 45-7 pummeling of Denver on September 3.
The rematch was in Denver on October 2, and while the Broncos were a woeful club that was winless coming into the game, they had revenge on their minds that day and matched Blanda and the Oilers point for point. Denver won the game by a 40-38 margin, one of the most classic Bronco games I have ever witnessed.
I remember that Bronco kicker Gary Kroner kicked his second field goal of the day, a 46-yarder with just 27 seconds left, to bring some self respect and the first win of the season to the Broncos.
But Blanda accounted for all 38 of Houston's points that day, one of the greatest single offensive performances I have ever witnessed. As I sat in my north stands seat I alternated between holding my breath for the Broncos and watching in awe as Blanda
threw touchdown passes of nine, 18, 79, 27 and 23 yards while completing 15 of 37 attempts for 300 yards along with those five TDs. For good measure, he kicked a 49-yard field goal for the Oilers. He accounted for all 38 of Houston's points, either on offense or special teams, a staggering accomplishment.
So George Blanda was a "kicker," and that is definitely the skill that prolonged his brilliant career, but he sure could play a little quarterback as well!

Even her battered knees couldn't stop her from waltzing away with the trophy. Amber Riley and her pro partner, Derek Hough, beat out Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff to win Season 17 of Dancing With the Stars Tuesday night. "I definitely feel beaten down right now," Riley says with a laugh. The Glee star, 27, who has been plagued with knee injuries all season, is looking forward to giving her whole body a rest — probably in Hawaii. "I've always wanted to go there," she says.

Who will win Season 17 of Dancing with the Stars? That's the big question heading in to the two-part finale, which begins tonight at 8/7c on ABC.
Competing tonight will be Bill Engvall and Emma Slater, Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke,Derek Hough and Amber Riley, and Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff. One of the four couples will be eliminated at the end of tonight's show, and the other three will perform a final routine tomorrow night before the winner is crowned.
"I think we have two completely different types of competitors," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told TVGuide.com ahead of Monday's show. "We have Corbin and Amber, who are in one class. And then you have Jack and Bill, who are totally of a different class. I think it's really interesting the way the fans have voted. I think people are really a fan of the whole idea of somebody who doesn't know how to dance really making the transformation, which is what Jack and Bill fall into."
Only five contestants remain on Season 17 of Dancing with the Stars, and it's anybody's guess who will go home with the Mirrorball trophy. Only two of the semifinalists — Amber Riley and Corbin Bleu — have professional dance experience, but at this point in the competition, is that more of a hindrance or a help?
"[The judges] leave no room for error for us," Karina Smirnoff, who's partnered with Bleu, tells TVGuide.com.
Dancing with the Stars alum Maksim Chmerkovskiy has finally confirmed he's dating supermodel Kate Upton.
"She's an amazing person," Chmerkovsky told Us Weekly. "We have an incredible time together, and, you know, I definitely didn't see that coming and I think neither did she. We enjoy each other's company very much and like I said, she's a great girl that I never thought anything romantic like this could have happened."
Is Zendaya the one to beat on Dancing with the Stars? Not according to TVGuide.com voters — a whopping 59 percent of whom have pegged Kellie Pickler to take home the Mirrorball trophy. Zendaya received 27 percent, while Aly Raisman and Jacoby Jones earned 9 percent and 5 percent, respectively. They will face off in the show's first four-couple final Monday and Tuesday with four routines: the judges' choice, the cha-cha relay and the super-sized freestyle on Monday, and the Instant Dance on Tuesday. But before they do, let's size them up. read more
It was a big Dancing with the Stars week for Aly Raisman. Not only did she make the final four, but she finally received her first perfect 30 of the season for her rumba. "It was amazing. I almost couldn't believe it," she tells TVGuide.com. "But I was more excited for Jacoby [Jones] and Karina [Smirnoff] when they got their 30l. So, I almost forgot that I got one too." Why was she so excited for him? And what do she and Mark Ballas have planned for the final? (Hint: It won't involve the Fierce Five.) read more

Jazzin' Around Europe
A Quickie Guide to Jazz Festivals in Eastern Europe
A new festival has been started in the ancient Vinnytsia, just a few hours away from the capital, Kyiv; and on the warm shores of Black Sea, the Odessa Jazz Carnival has been established as a joint Ukrainian-Russian venture in 2001, successfully repeated the next year with a strong artist lineup (superbly interesting music, though no 1st range stars) from France, the U.S., Israel, Great Britain, Ukraine and Russia, and a large amount of outdoor activities, such as street parades and open-air performances on the 200-years-old Odessa's places and squares. The Carnival's Ukrainian co-producer is Yuri Kuznetsov, a brilliant piano improviser from Odessa whose interests mostly lie in the realm of new jazz and new improvised music. In 2002, Yuri performed on the Carnival's main stage with Roman Kunsman, one of the leading Israel's creative jazz musicians. This happened to be Kunsman's farewell performance: the great saxophonist, who emigrated from Leningrad (now St.Petersburg) in 1971 and represented Israel with his Platina group on Newport Jazz Festival in New York in 1975, died untimely shortly upon his return to Israel from Odessa. Another great act at the Carnival was ManSound, a brilliant male a cappella vocal sextet from Kyiv, Ukraine, the winners of several prestigious European vocal contests (such as Vokal.Total in Graz, Austria) who toured successfully the U.S. Northwest in 2000, 2002 and 2003.
Though Belarus, a large Slavic country between Poland and Russia, lives under a post-Soviet dictatorship, its cultural life is not as heavily controlled by the authorities as it used to be during Soviet era. Year by year, local enthusiasts try to launch an annual jazz festival in Minsk, the country's capital. Though the festival, in fact, happens every year, it still bears a new name every other time because of ever-changing sponsorship. Its artist lineup included not only local artists (such as the superb vocal septet Camerata) or leading East-European (mostly Lithuanian, Ukrainian and Russian) names, but also many Americans, like vibraphonist Joe Locke in 2000.
Even tiny Moldova, the small agricultural, vine-producing country sandwiched between the Ukraine and Romania, produced its own (and very original) Ethno Jazz Trio festival in 2002, and repeated it the next year. The festival was produced in the city of Chisinau by the members of Trigon, Moldova's best ethno jazz formation, as a dedication to this viola/bass guitar/drums trio's own tenth anniversary, and became an artistic success that not only presented the existing innovative trios from the Ukraine, Russia, Poland and other countries, who try to incorporate their own cultures' musical idiom into the improvisational music (and vice versa), but also met together improvisers from Turkey, Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, and Moldova, with a challenging task to create their own impromptu music triangles right on the site in search of multicultural interaction (which, once again, has proven the old maxima that all those interactions could work only when at least one jazz musician, with his knowledge of what the musical interaction is, performs with the world music masters in each setting).
Romania and Bulgaria, two other ex-Eastern Bloc countries on the Western shore of Black Sea, also have their own jazz festivals, though their economic difficulties prevent them from strong links with European jazz community, so far. Of those festivals, Varna Summer in Bulgaria seems to be the most successful.
On the opposing side of the Black Sea, Republic of Georgia still struggles to override the major political and economy problems connected with the ongoing post-Soviet civil conflicts. Which does not mean that there is no jazz: some of good Georgian performers, as well as many of Georgian jazz enthusiasts, do not leave the country. With its rich, 2,500-years-old tradition of unique choral singing (that includes the most ancient system of music scores notation known,) and high-educated listeners' community, Georgia (as well as the neighboring Armenia, the country with the similar set of problems and equally long history) seems to be a natural ground for sophisticated modern music. The once-famous (during Soviet era) Tbilisi Jazz Festival was only repeated once since the breakup of the Union (in 2000, after an 11-years-long break), but there is much hope that the tradition is not going to die. In Armenia, the Yerevan Jazz Festival that once featured Chick Corea, has been postponed in 2003 after three successful years, though local jazz enthusiasts hope to re-launch it again.
Azerbaijan, another post-Soviet country in the southwestern part of Caspian Sea, was once a birthplace of a highly original improvising music movement, mugam jazz, based on both the good knowledge of jazz mainstream and the ancient local tradition of mugam (an improvisational system of mixed Turkish, Arab and Persian origin). Pianist Vagif Mustafa Zadeh, who died untimely in 1979 right on stage while performing with his jazz trio on tour in Uzbekistan, was the leader of this movement. Unfortunately, after 1991 many Azeri jazz musicians, emigrated to either West Europe (Vagif's own daughter, pianist and singer Aziza Mustafa Zadeh ), North America (another female singer-pianist Amina Figarova) or Russia (pianist Vagif Sadykhov and trumpet virtuoso Victor "Arzoo" Gusseinov). Several different jazz festivals have been produced in Baku (Azerbaijan's capital) since 1991, mostly as free outdoor sponsored events.
Russia, the world largest country that spans from Black and Baltic seas in the West to Pacific Ocean in the East, has a chain of several dozen jazz festivals. Some of those annual or biannual events continue from the Soviet era, like Jazz On Volga River in the ancient city of Yaroslavl (since late 70s), Jazz Crossroads in Kazan (since the early 80s) or Jazz At The Old Fortress in Novokuznetsk, Southern Siberia (since 1984). The latest is arguably the most specific. Its producer, Anatoly Berestov, runs a jazz club in this polluted, half-a-million-big industrial city located in 4,000 km (roughly 2,500 miles) from Moscow and some 500 km from Mongolian border. The festival, sponsored by several local industrial companies (like the Kuznetsk Steel), features (year by year!) the likes of Billy Cobham, Victor Bailey, Bernie Maupin, Benny Golson, Curtis Fuller, Dave Kikoski, as well as Russian greats: Igor Butman, David Goloshokin, Anatoly Kroll etc. People come to Novokuznetsk from as far as 1,000 km just to listen to those guys.
Several Russian cities, especially those with the population over one million people, located in the country's Western part (so-called Central Russia) - Moscow (10,000,000), St.Petersburg (4,500,000), Niznhy Novgorod (3,000,000), Rostov-on-Don (2,000,000) etc. - host more than one annual festival, and each of this festivals has its own specialization. Good examples are Moscow jazz festivals.
Triumph of Jazz, first held in 2000 as the production of the country's most popular jazzman Igor Butman, featured his U.S. friends that this saxophonist extraordinaire made during his 7-years-long stay in the U.S.: Gary Burton, Elvin Jones, Joe Lovano and many others, in a tight, one-night setting with Igor's own Moscow big band as the house rhythm section.
Boheme Jazz, now in its sixth year, specializes in non-mainstream big names (in improvised music as well as in world beat): in 2002, Boheme Jazz features Jan Garbarek Group, Vienna Art Orchestra, and Andrei Kondakov's Russo-Brazil Project with Claudio Roditi on trumpet. In 2003, the headliners included John Scofield Uberjam, Tania Maria and Cabo Verde superstar Cesaria Evora. The festival derives its name from its production company, Boheme Music, which also incorporates a record label and an e-media conglomerate.
Jazz at the Hermitage Garden is Russian capital's only outdoor jazz event, held at a small park in downtown Moscow every last week of August since 1998. In a less formal, laid-back setting, it features both traveling European and American acts and Russian groups, including the promising youth, which makes this festival a good place to discover the country's Next Best Things.
Those three are accompanied by many interesting events of a smaller caliber, though no lesser (and sometimes even bigger) creative significance. Most of those are produced by the leading nightclubs, like Le Club (straight-ahead jazz, jazz rock fusion, focused on North-American acts and Russian stars from the circle of Le Club's artistic director, Igor Buman), Dom (literally, The House, Moscow's avant-garde, New jazz, new improvised music, ethno beat and noise music central), or Cool Train (Russian and European creative straight-ahead and contemporary jazz acts). For example, Dom hosts two annual avant-garde festivals, Sergei Kuriokhin Festival (named after the legendary Russian avant-garde improviser, bandleader, and provocateur, who died in 1996) with the focus on new improvised music, and Alternativa, dedicated to the "classical avant-garde," electronica and noise music.
This brief overview of the East Europe's jazz festival movement is by no means comprehensive; for further details or any given festival organizers' contact info, feel free to contact this writer who serves as the editor for Russia's jazz web, Jazz.Ru, and Down Beat contributor in Russia.

Personally, I'd like to see a standard test that every pack mfg. is required to use before their products hit the market. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe there is standard by anyone is there?
Realistically, it means nothing if there's one mfg. or 20 mfgs. of cells for resale. Each reseller has, or probably has, a set of design specs. they can/will live with. Some resellers buy cells that are the premium ones and others buy cells that aren't. Even at that, there's always going to be a few that fail, premium or less than. That's where the warranty comes in and whether or not the vendor will back a given product. My choice for packs has been MaxAmps. Spendy, been in use(used/abused) for 4 years or more and still working great. Just my 25¢ worth. (inflation ) Dan |

When I began using LiPo packs they were rated at 8C discharge (10C burst), there was no way to balance them, and the most widely recognized LVC setting was 3 volts per cell (9 volts for a 3S pack). And I had packs which survived those conditions for several years. In fact, I re-purposed a couple of my original TP2100-3S 8C packs and used them to power photography strobes until 2010, so they saw 6 years of use before I finally put 'em to sleep. I'll add that I did that because I thought it was prudent, not because the packs were exhibiting unacceptable signs of old age. This whole LiPo care debate has become a black-&-white kind of thing, but the truth of the matter is there are plenty of shades of grey which don't really have any significant consequences. That said, the safest way to think IS in black-&-white terms. It's said that fear can be as effective as respect in some cases, and this is definitely one of those cases. Pete |

I buy almost all my Thunder Power packs from Aero-Model Inc. Truth be known, I buy most of 'em at either the AMA Expo or the RCX because Aero-Model always offers a substantial "Show Discount" at those events.
They're also quick to ship when you order online and I'm pretty sure they offer the same discount at any show they go to. Pete |

Batteries improve, year after year. New formulas, new materials, new processes, new companies selling the new brand X. Each generation packs more power, charges faster and provides more amps out the wire. Not 10 years, not 5 years, but every year. Bet your last dollar that next year there will be an even better battery, that packs more power into less weight. Do you think the 'big' users of batteries like cell phone manufactures are sitting by on last year's technology? Electric storage is a fast moving field.
So ask yourself, do you really want to be stockpiled with expensive batteries that last for years? I just don't see long life in a lipo as a selling point anymore. |

I respectfully disagree. The best overall performing batteries that I own (Hyperion CX) were purchased in September 2009, have well over 200 cycles, and are still performing like new. Conversely, I have some cheaper packs that performed great when new but did not even make it to 100 cycles in the same application. These lesser quality packs are now resident in my refrigerator while my Hyperion's continue to deliver.
Hyperion G3 batteries were released nearly 4 years ago and are still among the best overall performing lipolys available anywhere so the notion that electrochemical battery technology is rapidly progressing with yearly advancements just doesn't ring true, at least in my analysis. How I wish this were true though... Mark |

The Labour Relations Act of 1997 provides for the right (1) to fair labour practice, (2) to establish a trade union and to become a member of it, (3) to organise for joint bargaining, and (4) to strike and to be locked out.
Trade unions are the mouthpiece of the workers that they represent, seeing that they represent the workers in a certain sector in order to establish good relations between the employees and the employers. The relevant trade union should therefore strive towards promoting the social, economic and political interests of the employees. It is important to note that an employee is free to join a trade union and he / she may neither be prevented from doing so, nor be dismissed by the employer when he / she joins a trade union.
According to the Labour Relations Act trade unions have the following rights:
ACCESS TO THE WORKPLACE: The trade union has the right to canvass members within the workplace and to hold meetings during off hours.
MEMBERSHIP FEES: Contributions towards membership fees may be deducted from employees' wages / salaries.
ELECTIONS: Representatives of the trade unions may be elected within the workplace.
SERVICE TO THE TRADE UNION: Trade union members are entitled to taking paid leave in order to perform their duties as trade union representatives and also for the purpose of undergoing training.
DISCLOSING INFORMATION: The trade union is entitled to any information that has a bearing on issues that concern the employees within the workplace.
According to the Labour Relations Act (1997) employees have the right to STRIKE (i.e. refusal to work, to work at a slower pace, and an embargo on working overtime), while employers have the right to LOCK OUT employees (i.e. physically preventing employees from entering the workplace). The two actions could, amongst other things, result from (1) an insistence on a wage or salary increase, (2) an insistence on recognising a trade union, or (3) an insistence on changing conditions in the workplace.
In general it is fair to expect that the activities of trade unions should be of such a nature that not only are the employees' social, economic and political interests served, but that the interests of the South African economy as a whole should be fostered.
Judge the following translated extract from a report that appeared in Die Burger during October 2002, and evaluate the impact that strikes, in other words trade union action, had during 2001.
'Last year strikes more than doubled and the country lost 1,25 million working days as a result of strikes, but it was a one-time occurrence and strike figures will drop again significantly in the next two years,' allege Andrew Levy and Associates in their latest annual report on labour relations. Last year 1,25 million working days were lost as a result of strike action, as opposed to 5 000 000 the previous year.
In view of the recent changes to the Labour Relations Act that allow strike action, labour cut-backs could give rise to more strikes this year. 'This could lead to conflict in the public sector on the matter of privatisation, but it will probably be a brief strike after which the government will continue with its privatisation programme,' declares Levy.
Labour cut-backs as a result of the decline in the world economy will also place job opportunities in greater jeopardy this year as compared to last year, Levy believes. The average wage / salary increase that was negotiated in central bargaining forums was 7,8% and the average rate for wage increases in other negotiations was 7,4% as opposed to the average inflation rate (CPI) of 5,7% last year. The highest agreement was 9% in the car production industry, where a drawn-out strike in August last year lasted for 15 working days. That led to a loss of 315 000 working days. Mr Andrew Levy who wrote the annual report, expects that average wage agreements will be between 8,2% and 8,5% this year. There is no fear that wage increases will lead to inflation pressure this year, but in the next two to three years it could be cause for concern because real wages increase very slightly while imported inflation pressure increases steadily. Levy predicts that the number of HIV positive people will increase from approximately 4 million at present to 6 million within two years. 'Organisations can expect to lose more than 4% of their labour force in the following ten years.'
Trade union membership has again begun to increase after a slight drop in 2000 and presently it stands at 3,5 million. COSATU, the country's largest federation of trade unions, has 1,883 million members. The membership has increased since last year despite severe labour cut-backs. FEDUSA, the second largest federation of trade unions, represents 503 241 members, and NACTU, the third largest, represents 398 106 employees.
Source: Die Burger, October 2002
Judge the influence of the strikes from the following table:
Influence of: | Social conditions | Economic conditions |
The political role played by trade unions in South Africa is clearly to be seen in the activities of the CONGRESS OF SOUTH AFRICAN TRADE UNIONS (COSATU), an organisation that was established as early as 1985. COSATU is a federation of a group of South African trade unions. In 1985 COSATU joined the UNITED DEMOCRATIC FRONT (UDF) in the MASS DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT and actively supported the movement in its fight against apartheid. Conditions in the workplace were politicised through strikes, stay-aways and the so-called "go-slows" that had a severely negative effect on production.
Their active participation in the struggle for political and economic change in South Africa led to the fact that COSATU joined the African National Congress (ANC) and the South African Communist Party (SACP) as a partner in the 1994 election campaign. This partnership won the election with an impressive majority. Today COSATU is still part of the three party partnership that governs South Africa. As an equal partner in the alliance it is thus possible that COSATU, which represents a great mass of the workers in South Africa, could offer a significant contribution and exert a profound influence on economic and political policy.
Explain the following abbreviations and indicate which occupations are represented by these federations of trade unions:
Learning Outcomes(LUs) |
the economic cycleThe learner will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the economic cycle within the context of "the economic problem." |
Assessment Standards(ASs) |
We know this when the learner: |
1.5 explains the different flows of money, factors of production, goods and services in the economic cycle within the South African economy; |
1.6 discusses the role of the foreign sector in the economic cycle; |
1.7 illustrates by means of a graph and discusses how demand and supply influence prices; |
1.8 critically assesses the influence and actions (strikes and stayaways) of trade unions in general and during the apartheid era on: |
1.9 discusses the effect of the national budget on the economy (e.g. taxation and expenditure on education, social welfare, health and security.) |
ACTIVITY1: Strikes
Effect of strike action
Social conditions | Economic conditions | |
Work days lost | loss of income – poorer | production decreases - losses |
Labour cuts | loss of employment opportunities– poorer | production decreases - losses |
Wage increases | improvement in expendable income | input costs increase – inflation |
