Damon Albarn, Brian Eno, Nick Zinner in Africa Express Film About Recording of Terry Riley's In C Mali
By Evan Minsker on January 26, 2015 at 12:17 p.m. EST
Africa Express is an organization that brings together musicians from multiple cultures, continents, and genres. They've put on concerts in Europe and Africa, and have released a series of albums. The latest album is Africa Express Presents... Terry Riley's In C Mali, which gets its physical release this week via Transgressive. It's a new interpretation of Terry Riley's iconic minimalist composition "In C" (which just turned 50 years old). The 41-minute piece was recorded in 2013 at the Maison des Jeunes youth club in Bamako, Mali, conducted by André de Ridder. The musicians included Damon Albarn, Brian Eno, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner, alongside artists from Bamako including Adama Koita, Bijou, Cheick Diallo and Modibo Diawara. It was co-produced and mixed by Mouse on Mars' Andi Toma.

On the latter, they were joined by Owen Pallett, Nicholas Krgovich, and Tom Ashforth. Watch videos of both performances below, via Pitchfork.tv:

Brian Eno Writes Another Letter About Palestine
By Jeremy Gordon on August 6, 2014 at 11:15 a.m. EDT
Last week, Brian Eno wrote a letter about the conflict between Palestine and Israel that was posted on David Byrne's website. "Why does America continue its blind support of this one-sided exercise in ethnic cleansing?" he asked, while also comparing Israel to the Ku Klux Klan. Eno's friend, Peter Schwartz, published a letter in response, also on Byrne's website, in which he broke down the historical context and laid the blame at both sides.

Rights Make Might! Reproductive Rights as Economic Empowerment for Women and Young Girls
On March 17 2015, Dr. Catalina Herrera-Almanza, Assistant Professor of Economics and International Affairs, participated in a panel event for the 59th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women for the United Nations. The panel summary is as follows:
"Rights make might! Reproductive rights and economic empowerment intersect to affect the lives of women and girls. Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa shows that access to family planning and reproductive health care can empower women and girls to continue school, participate in the labor force, and increase their economic productivity. Participants will explore how improved access to reproductive health care and better health might enhance the economic well-being of the most vulnerable women and girls."

The Curious History of "I Put a Spell On You"
The Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack was released earlier this week, and surprisingly, it's composed of more than sounds of hundreds of "holy cows" a-mooing and "holy craps" a-squelching. No, to bring some semblance of chemistry to the stars' seemingly steely relationship, the soundtrack enlists the sex-therapeutic presences of talents like Beyoncé, Sia, Frank Sinatra, Ellie Goulding, the Rolling Stones and Annie Lennox. The Lennox track is especially noteworthy, as it's a cover of the oft-covered Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell On You." … Read More

2013 Tony Nominations: The Theatre World Takes Broadway Back From Hollywood
Like any other award given to popular art, the Tonys can be divisive. The awards, handed out by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League, honor a select number of American theatre performances — productions must take place within the eligibility period (roughly, the Broadway season that runs from June to April) and in a Broadway house, which is defined not by location but by size (a theatre must have 500 seats or more). Considering the limited number of eligible productions, the small nominating committee of 42 theatre professionals, and the continuous commercialization of Broadway productions, it's understandable that many critics see the Tony not as a respectable award but rather as an internal marketing tactic. … Read More

10 Movie Stars Who Bombed on TV
A couple of weeks back, while assembling our post on the shortest-running shows in TV history, we noticed a bit of a pattern: an awful lot of them were vehicles for movie stars, who keep getting TV shows even though their track record for success is surprisingly low. There are exceptions, of course, but more often than not, it seems that TV executives value the built-in recognition factor of a big star over quality writing and the kind of ensemble work that the best television thrives on. As a result, an audience may tune in for the first week or two, but if they don't see big-screen quality right away, they tune out. We thought of this pattern again when we noticed the single season of ABC's canceled Missing among today's DVD releases — a show starring Ashley Judd, who was headlining very big movies just a few short years ago. Ms. Judd can take solace, however, in the fact that many a movie star before her has flopped on the tube; after the jump, we've collected ten of the most notable examples. … Read More

Research by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City has suggested that red grape seed extract may help protect against memory loss due to Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. Giulio Maria Pasinetti and colleagues found that rodents prone to developing Alzheimer's-like brain changes showed better cognitive function at 11 months of age, which is when they would normally have shown some memory impairment, if they were given a grape seed polyphenolic extract.
Polyphenolic compounds are antioxidants naturally found in wine, tea, chocolate, and some fruits and vegetables. The mice used in the study were given amounts of polyphenols equivalent to what a person would consume with a daily glass or two of red wine. The researchers used MegaNatural AZ red grape seed extract made by Polyphenolics, which is a Madera, CA-based grape products supplier.
The mice were given a daily dose of polyphenolics equivalent to 1 gram for humans, or plain water as a control. After five months, the mice given the grape seed extract had 30 to 50 percent less clumping of amyloid-beta protein in their brains. Amyloid-beta protein clumping is a key step in the formation of the plaques and tangles within the brain seen in Alzheimer's patients.
They also found that the mice treated with the extract performed significantly better on a standard test of spatial learning memory than those that didn't receive it. However, the extract did not improve performance in control mice, which suggests that it improved cognitive function in the Alzheimer's prone rodents by reducing brain damage due to plaque formation.
It has been shown before that wine may have health benefits; however, the researchers wanted to investigate whether an extract of red grape seeds may prevent the progress of the disease. I have posted before about the potentialhealth benefits of red wineand aboutresveratrol, which is one compound found in red wine that is believed to have several health benefits. However, it is interesting to find that the benefits may potentially be achieved without the alcohol.

Waste management company passes first hurdle to build facility.
TAM Waste Management, based in Shaftsbury, Vt., is seeking approval to build and operate a construction and demolition recycling facility in Pownal, located in the southwestern part of Vermont. The company presently hauls solid waste and operates a transfer station for various types of material.
The company has been in business for 17 years and services customers throughout Vermont as well as parts of New York and Massachusetts. In addition to the transfer station, the company opened a composting site late last year.
Trevor Mance, founder and owner of TAM, says that opening a C&D facility is the "last frontier" for the company. Along with C&D, any new facility also would look to be able to run municipal solid waste over a potential dual stream facility. The facility would sit on nine acres and would be able to handle around 60,000 tons per year of material. All of the processing would take place indoors. The building itself would be around 12,000 square feet.
Mance notes that there is a growing need for a facility to handle C&D, especially with a recently enacted law that bans construction and demolition from landfills in the state.
To receive approval for the new facility the company needs approval from local, regional and state agencies. Mance says the company recently received local approval for the facility. The company does not to apply for and receive an Act 250 permit and solid waste permit from the state.

Normally we wake our mum up and she mutters at us until her clock joins in and then she gets up. She gives us our breakfast and then I go out on patrol while she has her shower and eats her breakfast. By the time I've checked all round the garden and know everything is Ok mum has her muesli finished and I get the rest of the milk while she puts her laptop on her lap and takes my dictation for my diary.

We have a thing which is called a dehumidifier. Mostly it sits and hums to itself and doesn't bother anyone. Every now and then it stops and mum takes a load of water out of it and that's about it.

We are fond of my mum but she's not clever like a cat and sometimes needs help with the simplest things - recognising meal opportunities for us, understanding basic meows, knowing when the correct time to stop petting us is - that sort of thing.

Globstar: New Bash Globbing Option
In shell-speak, globbing is what the shell does when you use a wildcard in a command (e.g. * or ?). Globbing is matching the wildcard pattern and returning the file and directory names that match and then replacing the wildcard pattern in the command with the matched items. Bash version 4.0 adds a new globbing option called globstar which treats the pattern ** differently when it's set.
Normally, if you use the pattern ** on the command line it acts the same as the * pattern. For example, given the following directory:
$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 mitch users 0 2010-05-05 10:36 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 mitch users 0 2010-05-05 10:36 b
drwxr-xr-x 2 mitch users 4096 2010-05-05 10:36 c
drwxr-xr-x 2 mitch users 4096 2010-05-05 10:36 d
if you execute the following commands:
$ for i in **
> do
> echo $i
> done
you get the following output:
If you now set the globstar option with the following command:
$ shopt -s globstar
and then re-run the for loop from above, you now get:
With globstar set, bash recurses all the directories. Note that this will recurse all directory levels, not just one level.
You can see if globstar is set by issuing the shopt command without any arguments:
$ shopt
force_fignore on
globstar on
gnu_errfmt off
or if you want to test it in a script you can use the -q option to shopt and test the exit status, for example:
if shopt -q globstar; then

Recently single after a separation, divorce or long term relationship?
Are you a veteran at being single and seeking a fulfilling meaningful relationship?
Perhaps you found a higher level of love, and through your own personal relationship experiences you can help navigate others to finding the same?
Whatever your scenario, this group comprised of those who are or have been "in your shoes" can be your compass to help navigate you to overcome the same obstacles and adversities of new found singledom.
This group is not intended to be a "dating" group or as an outlet to "harbour" your grief. We all have our "story" and welcome others to share theirs, not for attention or sympathy, but to demonstrate a life lesson and bring value to others so they may grow healthy emotionally, physically and spiritually.
This group can contribute feedback from experiences and offer recommendations(or warnings) of:
It is very true that you get what you put out. If you lack emotional health you won't attract those that are. Opening the heart, trusting, and becoming the optimal you will attract those you desire most. It's the interest of this group to encourage and inspire you to achieve this. We encourage that if you have children, this group will provide an educational and supportive format on how to best incorporate their interests with your own.
Let's have fun!

Auraeus Solito
|Auraeus Solito
Auraeus Solito, Palawan filmmaker
|Manila, Philippines
Auraeus Solito (also known as Kanakan-Balintagos) is an internationally acclaimed and award-winning Filipino filmmaker and indigenous peoples rights advocate who comes from a lineage of Shaman-Kings from the Palawan tribe but is one of the first to be born outside of his tribal land of South Palawan. He was born in the city of Manila and after graduating from the Philippine Science High school studied theater at the University of the Philippines, where he received a degree in Theater Arts.
One of the leading independent filmmakers in the Philippines, he was recently chosen in Take 100, The Future of Film which presents an emerging generation of the most talented filmmakers around the world. This book, published by Phaidon Press, New York, is a survey featuring 100 exceptional emerging film directors from around the world who have been selected by 10 internationally prominent film festival directors.
His first feature film "Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros (The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros)" won 15 international awards including 3 awards at the Berlinale (The Teddy award, International Jury Prize at the Kinderfest and Special Mention from the Children's Jury of the Kinderfest). It is also the first Philippine film nominated for Best Foreign film at the Independents' Spirit Awards in the US and has been shown in more than 50 film festivals around the world.
"Tuli (Circumcision)", his second feature film won Best Picture and Best Director at the Digital Competition at the 2005 CineManila Film Festival; won the NETPAC Jury Prize at the Berlinale, International Forum for New Cinema and the Best International feature Film at Outfest in Los Angeles. Solito is the first Filipino to make it to the premiere independent film festival in the world, the SUNDANCE Film Festival in Park City, Utah, USA, two years in a row (with "The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros" and "Tuli"). His films have been screened in major festivals around the world including Berlin, Sundance, Montreal, Pusan, Toronto and Rotterdam.
Solito completed a screenplay development program at the Binger Film Lab in Amsterdam.
His film "Busong (Palawan Fate)" was selected at the prestigious Cannes Directors' Fortnight in 2011, and it was awarded Best Director, Best Sound Design, and Best Original Music Score at Cinemalaya 2011. His film Busong was also shown at the 2012 National Geographic All Roads Film Festival in Washington, D.C., where it was awarded Grand Prize, the Merata Mita "Best of Stories" Award.
Recently, he adopted his tribal-spirit name Kanakan-Balintagos after his uncle, who is a shaman in Palawan, dreamt about him. He said in an interview, "In his dream, he saw me in the middle of a sandbar holding a camera that turned into a blowgun. I became a kanakan … a hunter. Suddenly, great waves appeared from both sides of the sandbar, but I remained unharmed, untouched."[1]

Terry Gilbert, a criminal defense lawyer in Cleveland said that proving aggravated murder against Ariel Castro poses real challenge for prosecutors, Yahoo News reports.
Amidst the horrible ordeal that Gina de Jesus, Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight went through, Gilbert said that the crime aggravating circumstances does not constitute a death penalty.
She said that defense lawyers may question whether aggravating circumstances of kidnapping, assault and crimes beyond murder, can be applied to the unborn child. The three women were reportedly forced into having abortion through physical abuse.
Gilbert explains that, "Under Ohio law, a person can be charged with murder for causing the termination of a pregnancy. The prosecution, however, will need physical, medical, and forensic evidence in this case."
"You're going to have a body. Somebody saying that (the women's pregnancies were terminated) may not be enough. There's a lot of road blocks to get to the death penalty. It would be a highly unusual and difficult kind of prosecution to make."
Meanwhile, public defender for Ariel Castro, Kathleen DeMetz, refuses to give comments about her client's behavior. She had a 30-minute meeting with Ariel Castro before his arraignment to brief him about the crimes he was being charged and how the whole trial process will go through.
Brian Murphy, an assistant Cuyahoga County prosecutor proposed for the court to impose a $5million bond on Ariel Castro and that the suspect should not be allowed any communication with his family if in case he was able to pay the bail.
The judge, on the other hand, imposes an $8 million bail to Castro. There is no way that Ariel Castro can pay for he is currently unemployed.
As the situation gets tougher for the brothers, Amanda Berry and Gina de Jesus were finally allowed to come home and be reunited with their families. Police escorted them amidst the crowds until they were safe home.
While Michelle Knight needs to stay at the hospital for further medical attention, Amanda and her daughter Jocelyn went home to Amanda's sister. Beth Serrano, Amanda's sister were kind enough to explain to the crowd that Amanda still needs time to recuperate before she can have enough courage to speak publicly.
Beth addressed the crowd by saying that, "At this time our family would request privacy so my sister, niece and I have time to recover. We appreciate all you have done for us for the past ten years. Please respect our privacy until we are ready to make our statements."
Gina de Jesus went home to her parents' bungalow house where she was emotionally welcomed back. Gina was immediately asked to get inside their house without her speaking or showing her face. But Gina was able to sneak a thumbs-up to the reporters and people who are waiting for her outside.
Felix de Jesus and Nancy Ruiz are grateful for the police and FBI who assisted Gina on her way home. As for the reporters and onlookers, Felix and Nancy told them that the family is not ready to answer question and give statements as of the moment. They ask for patience and understanding.

Sam MacLeod not tempted to expand 2014 British Formula 3 programme
|By Richard Asher
|Monday, June 23rd 2014, 14:21 GMT
Sam MacLeod says he will not be tempted into a full-time assault on the British Formula 3 Championship, despite a strong weekend at Snetterton propelling him up the points ladder.
MacLeod, who is committed to the full German championship for this season, has been a winner on both his British F3 cameos.
His pair of Snetterton victories left him second in the standings, seven points behind team-mate Martin Cao.
But despite Fortec Motorsport boss Richard Dutton hoping MacLeod will expand his British schedule, the 19-year-old told AUTOSPORT he planned to keep his focus on Germany.
"It has crossed my mind, and it's nice to win races, but Britain is not my primary focus," said MacLeod.
"It is best to be selective: quality not quantity.
"The only other British round I am likely to do is Spa. That's the one with the most value for me."
MacLeod lies fourth in the German series, where he races for van Amersfoort.
Two of the three British Championship rounds that follow Spa clash with his German dates.

Queen of 8 Legs
Episode Reviews (2)
While some episodes of Thundercats are bad or silly, this one is far beyond that. Having many goofs, and weird turns, its one episode that really shows that when the writers aren't in the mood an episode can be disastrous.
While the premise is not bad, the execution is just painfully bad.
Mum-Ra decides to lure Lion-O into the kingdom of webs. He Disguises himself as Diamond-fly, and hypnotizes Lion-0.
Snarf follows them carrying the sword. He is then captured by a spider after Mumm-Ra's hypnotism wears off of liono, and he uses the sword to on Diamonfly to reveal Mumm-Ra's true self. Lion-O goes off to resce snarf, and faces off with some spiders, one of which speaks a lot like Jackalman. He moves on, and is about to rescue Snarf, when suddenly Spydera, the new queen of the Kingdom of Webs, appears. He summons the other Thundercats, and is then captured by the Spydera. He looses the sword in the fight and it gets stuck in the ground. Well the writers conveniently forget he can summon the Sword to his hands, and so he patiently waits for the others to arrive, and throw it to him. While this is going on, we get some nice animation of the other Thundercats fighting Spydera and loosing. In one of these the Thundertank gets stuck in the webs, and although Tigra and Cheetara, are now wrapped in webs, Panthro makes no effort whatsoever to get out of the tank to help them. He patiently waits until Tigra manages to throw the Sword to Lion-O, he frees himself, does the Thunder dance, and as everybody is now empowered they free themselves. Somehow the Tank is now free too. Snarf mysteriously frees himself, so mysterious its even acknowledged by him and the Thundercats, yet no explanation is ever given o how he did it. Other than saying, "You have to dig deep enough".
This is one sad episode. Fortunately its not often we get them this bad.moreless
Mumm-ra lures Lion-O and Snarf into the Kingdom of Webs, where the new queen Spidera waits for them.
This was quite a terrible episode. The action wasn't that exciting and the villain wasn't interesting at all.
The Thundercats had to face Spidera, a huge queen spider. She was pretty big, but she was animated poorly and didn't move all that much.
There were several pauses that didn't seem to fit in. For example, Lion-O gets the Sword of Omens back from a couple of spiders and he just stands there for a few seconds, pulls the webs off his sword, and continues walking.
Snarf shows a lot of courage in this episode, but he gets way too many lines. Wilykat and Wilykit don't appear at all.
There were a few animation sequences that were really nice, like when Cheetara was running from Spidera's webs.
Mumm-ra transforming into the Diamond Fly was neat. It's not often you get to see him change into something else.
The story was really boring and it's one that anyone interested in the show can pass by.moreless

At the request of Congress, we have been examining ways the Department of Defense (DOD) can optimize its investment in weapons systems, drawing on lessons learned from the best, mostly commercial, product development efforts. Leading commercial firms we have studied have developed increasingly sophisticated products in less time and at lower cost. Key to their success is their knowledge-based approach to the acquisition of new products. A knowledge-based approach is supported by incentives that encourage realism and candor. This booklet highlights the result of our work to date.

tUnE-yArDs Announces New Album, Tour
Merrill Garbus talks about new LP, w h o k i l l
By Ryan Dombal on February 1, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. EST
Photo on front page and below by Anna M Campbell; album art by Alex Chitty
Innovative songstress Merrill Garbus, aka tUnE-yArDs, caught ears with her beyond-lo-fi debut album, 2009's BiRd-BrAiNs. But the album's very homemade production could be a turn-off. "If you don't have a tolerance for cut-rate sonics-- and this isn't even the warm analog stuff-- forget about it," wrote Mark Richardson in his review. "But if you do, the best songs on BiRd-BrAiNs can sneak up on you."
Still, it wasn't until many saw Garbus opening for similarly eccentric bands like Dirty Projectors over the last couple years that the full breadth of her talent became apparent. Joined only by bassist Nate Brenner, Garbus created mini-cacophonies out of looping her own big, bad voice to thrilling effect. tUnE-yArDs' forthcoming LP, w h o k i l l, out April 19 on 4AD, aims to clean up her sound a bit while maintaining the rawness that made BiRd-BrAiNs so lovable.
From what we've heard on a four-track preview, w h o k i l l manages to mix the upbeat exuberance of Vampire Weekend with some of Jamie Lidell's oddball funk and maybe even a few Bobby McFerrin vocal tricks. We recently spoke with Garbus about the new record-- click on for the Q&A as well as tUnE-yArDs' new North American spring tour dates:
Pitchfork: I didn't totally understand what you were getting at with tUnE-yArDs until I saw you live, which helped to bring everything into focus. And, based on the four songs I've heard from the new album, it sounds a lot more like your live show than BiRd-BrAiNs.
Merrill Garbus: People kept saying, "Oh, I wish your recordings were more like your live show." But the stubborn, contrarian impulse in me wanted to rebel against their desires a little bit. I have no interest in making a live album. But, at the same time, I wanted to record it better than I had been able to record the last album. So I went into a real studio with a real engineer and real microphones.
I struggled a lot; we started recording in May and we didn't finish it until January. I'm in a different position now because people are actually listening to me, as opposed to the glorious solitude I had while making BiRd-BrAiNs. This time, I was thinking, "Should I make it lo-fi because that's my aesthetic? Should I not spend any money recording because that's my politics? Should I keep marching this DIY flag around, and how does that affect the music that I want to put out into the world?" And, quite honestly: "Do I want to limit my audience to only people who appreciate lo-fi as an aesthetic?"
I definitely had a lot of self-doubt and fears that people would think that I sold out to some glossy studio sound, which I loathe. But, at a certain point I was like, "Fuck it. It's gonna be what it's gonna be." It's just part of the evolution. All I can do is be honest with people about that tightrope walk and make it part of the conversation.
Check out a live-in-studio version of "Real Live Flesh" from the expanded edition of BiRd-BrAiNs (more songs from this session-- including w h o k i l l track "Powa"-- can be found here):
Pitchfork: When I talk to bands about the lo-fi divide, some of them make it a matter of means. Like, if they could afford something more professional they would go for it. But it sounds like there's a bit more to your reasoning behind cleaning things up.
MG: When a band is doing it in their garage, that's something. It's weird how people don't pay attention to the nuance that's lost when a band moves out of the garage. Something I struggled with on this album was reverb-- I hate reverb as a concept because I don't want to fake that I'm in some hall singing. I want to be in your face and get as close to the listener as I possibly can. But it turns out that there's an intimacy to reverb if you use it right.
Pitchfork: On the new song "Bizness" you sing, "What's the business?/ Don't take my life away." And it's really upbeat-- it sounds like you've figured out these questions of art and commerce within the song.
MG: Yeah, well, the glory of music is that those moments of singing really loud feel good-- even if I haven't figured some of those things out and they're still confusing when I go to bed at night and wake up in the morning.
And, honestly, that BlackBerry commercial helped me out a lot because I didn't have to wait for anybody's check to come in to make this record. I had my own means. It was yet another conflict but, again, it was interesting.
Pitchfork: There is a lot of unorthodox capitalization and spelling and spacing going on in the whole tUnE-yArDs project, like how the title of the album is w h o k i l l rather than just Who Kill. What's the thought process behind that?
MG: Visually, that's just how I like it. A good parallel example would be the latest M.I.A. album [/\/\/\Y/\]-- it's like this demand to be seen the way you want to be seen. When I first thought of the title w h o k i l l, there were a couple other words before it, but the w h o k i l l section stuck out as its own thing. And it can be this abstract thing that's sort of a bird call or onomatopoetic-- it has a texture and a lot of good stuff going for it. If people start spelling it with no spaces between each character, though, I'm not going to complain.
Pitchfork: So who are you killing here, then?
MG: I felt like I was killing parts of myself; it was never about killing human beings. Violence is all over the place in movies and what we're doing in other parts of the world, but there are these really subtle ways that it's also present. I became interested in the nuanced gray areas of violence.
Like, is violence always bad? I've gone through several changes in the past year, one of which is leaving Montreal and moving out to California to be solely focused on tUnE-yArDs. It did feel like I was severing a limb of myself that I think still lies dormant in Montreal. It was that painful and yet it was a necessary change for me to thrive and move forward-- a definition of violence that's not completely negative is sort of rare and different.
