There is no precedent in popular music for Leonard Cohen. An acclaimed poet and novelist in his 20s, he didn't record his first album until he was 33, when he had the distinction of being the first "New Dylan" who was older than Dylan himself. Many of the lyrics on his vinyl debut, Songs of Leonard Cohen (released December 27, 1967), were built around his old poems. Three of its gentlest and most melodic tracks, "Suzanne", "Sisters of Mercy", and "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye", became standards. But most of the record was steeped in the unforgiving religiosity of the Old Testament and saturated by the pain of unsatisfied lust, providing a Winter of Our Discontent counterpoint to the Summer of Love. That bleak path is the one Cohen has followed for the last 40-plus years, though as he memorably put it in 1992's "Anthem", "There is a crack in everything / That's how the light gets in."

In this holiday-appropriate, if commercially convenient, Valentine's Day proclamation, HMV dubs Leonard Cohen "King Of Hearts," suggesting perhaps that a male customer might efficiently and economically establish his own romantic credentials for a mere £10 by purchasing the Old Ideas CD as a gift for his main squeeze.

Note: This entry, originally published Feb 15, 2012 at 1HeckOfAGuy.com (a predecessor of Cohencentric), is the third in a series of three posts examining the ascension – unique among Leonard Cohen recordings – of the Old Ideas album's ascension on the best-selling music charts.
The two preceding posts in this series established the following:
1. Old Ideas hit the top of the charts: Leonard Cohen's newly released album, Old Ideas, found comfortable lodging in such prestigious addresses as #1, #2, and #3 in the sales charts throughout the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia.1 Whether Old Ideas is only shacking up in these notoriously hip and trendy neighborhoods for a week or two or is able to commit to a longer stay, it is certain that this visit has proved a rewarding one for Leonard Cohen, his management, his record company, and his fans.
While Leonard Cohen's music has previously enjoyed isolated pockets of popularity (e.g., Leonard Cohen has always been big in Norway), the widespread sales success of Old Ideas is unprecedented.
2. Marketing Leonard Cohen has not been a priority in the past: Historically, the marketing support expended by Cohen's record company has, at least according to the Canadian singer-songwriter's own testimony, ranged between abandonment and benign neglect. Cohen's promotional efforts in his own behalf have been only marginally more effective.2
3. The music industry has changed so dramatically that quantitatively comparing Old Ideas sales to sales of Cohen's previous albums is difficult, if possible at all: In the past decade, the economics and, consequently, the mechanics, goals, and methodologies of the pop music business have altered so dramatically that making precise distinctions between the marketing and sales of Old Ideas and earlier Cohen albums would require complex and arduous calculations; for practical purposes, quantifying the variations in popularity and sales of Old Ideas via-a-vis its predecessors is impossible.3
That changes are impossible to quantify, however, does not mean it is impossible to judge that a change has taken place. A perpetual preoccupation of sportswriters and fans is comparing teams (e.g., 1985 Bears VS 1962 Packers) or individual players (e.g., Kareem Abdul-Jabbar VS Michaels Jordan) who may have played shorter or longer schedules, against tougher or lesser competition, under different rules, … . Clearly, such calculations are precarious and undependable. On the other hand, it is intuitively clear that the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan, a NBA powerhouse winning six championships in eight years in the 1990s, were far more successful than the pre-Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, regardless of any changes in the game during those years.
Similarly, the gross comparisons between the sales of Old Ideas VS Cohen's earlier work permits no conclusion other than Old Ideas is more successful.
The question is …

Since their discovery at the dawn of the Space Age, Earth's radiation belts continue to reveal new complex structures and behaviors. This visualization shows how the radiation belts change in response to the injection of electrons from a storm in late June 2015. Red colors indicate higher numbers of electrons.
Past space missions have not been able to distinguish electrons from high-energy protons in the inner radiation belt. But by using a special instrument, the Magnetic Electron and Ion Spectrometer — MagEIS — on the Van Allen Probes, the scientists could look at the particles separately for the first time. What they found was surprising —there are usually none of these super-fast electrons, known as relativistic electrons, in the inner belt, contrary to what scientists expected.
"We've known for a long time that there are these really energetic protons in there, which can contaminate the measurements, but we've never had a good way to remove them from the measurements until now," said Seth Claudepierre, lead author and Van Allen Probes scientist at the Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, California.
Of the two radiation belts, scientists have long understood the outer belt to be the rowdy one. During intense geomagnetic storms, when charged particles from the sun hurtle across the solar system, the outer radiation belt pulsates dramatically, growing and shrinking in response to the pressure of the solar particles and magnetic field. Meanwhile, the inner belt maintains a steady position above Earth's surface. The new results, however, show the composition of the inner belt isn't as constant as scientists had assumed.
Ordinarily, the inner belt is composed of high-energy protons and low-energy electrons. However, after a very strong geomagnetic storm in June 2015, relativistic electrons were pushed deep into the inner belt.
The findings were visible because of the way MagEIS was designed. The instrument creates its own internal magnetic field, which allows it to sort particles based on their charge and energy. By separating the electrons from the protons, the scientists could understand which particles were contributing to the population of particles in the inner belt.
"When we carefully process the data and remove the contamination, we can see things that we've never been able to see before," said Claudepierre. "These results are totally changing the way we think about the radiation belt at these energies."
During a strong geomagnetic storm, electrons at relativistic energies, which are usually only found in the outer radiation belt, are pushed in close to Earth and populate the inner belt. While the electrons in the slot region quickly decay, the inner belt electrons can remain for many months.
Given the rarity of the storms, which can inject relativistic electrons into the inner belt, the scientists now understand there to typically be lower levels of radiation there — a result that has implications for spacecraft flying in the region. Knowing exactly how much radiation is present may enable scientists and engineers to design lighter and cheaper satellites tailored to withstand the less intense radiation levels they'll encounter.
In addition to providing a new outlook on spacecraft design, the findings open a new realm for scientists to study next.
"This opens up the possibility of doing science that previously was not possible," said Shri Kanekal, Van Allen Probes deputy mission scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, not involved with the study. "For example, we can now investigate under what circumstances these electrons penetrate the inner region and see if more intense geomagnetic storms give electrons that are more intense or more energetic."
The Van Allen Probes is the second mission in NASA's Living with a Star Program and one of many NASA heliophysics missions studying our near-Earth environment. The spacecraft plunge through the radiation belts five to six times a day on a highly elliptical orbit, in order to understand the physical processes that add and remove electrons from the region.

Thoroughly recommend this lovely apartment. Roberta definitely goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome & at home & has added those little touches to make your stay more comfortable. Chocolates & wine in the fridge, fruit & condiments, toiletries all provided for us - pure luxury! :) She also was very helpful in regards to giving us recommendations on things to do/places to visit in Adelaide. The apartment was clean, beautifully decorated & fitted out with the best quality furnishings & bedding. There is a lovely deck area for alfresco drinks/meals. It is also well situated just a short drive from the town centre & the Adelaide Hills. We loved our time at the apartment & were sad to leave! Thanks for everything Roberta! :) The John Family xxEmily2015-10-17T00:00:00Z
Although we didn't meet Roberta (we were out when she dropped around) she made us feel very welcome with a welcoming blackboard message and bottle of wine. There was fresh fruit in a bowl and a well stocked pantry cupboard. Communication was excellent and we had no problems finding the place or the key. The location, not too far from the city and the Adelaide Hills was perfect for us. We had a car so didn't need to use buses but I understand we were close to a bus route. There was a little restaurant strip nearby and another within walking distance. The unit was comfortable with everything you need. Would certainly recommend Roberta's place for its comfort, pleasant ambiance and general convenience.Dianne2016-02-01T00:00:00Z
Easily one of the best Airbnb experiences we've had! We flew in during a crazy storm that the day before had knocked out the power all over the city. Roberta made the effort to go to the apartment and leave us torches and umbrellas in case the storm picked up again, which we really appreciated. Everything else about the unit is exactly what you need for a quiet getaway. It's in a perfect location if you're looking to explore both the city and the Adelaide hills. The unit itself is wonderfully fitted out with great touches like a fully stocked pantry, very comfy beds and board games. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great stay in Adelaide and we will definitely be back.Nat2016-10-03T00:00:00Z
We had a fantastic stay! The apartment felt very homely, which was lovely way to wind down at the end of our driving holiday. It was well situated, allowing easy access to all the things Adelaide has to enjoy. The apartment was very clean and the bottle of wine was a generous touch and much appreciated. Thanks so much for a memorable stay!Kathryn2017-01-07T00:00:00Z
Location: Great CLEAN place for a great value. Lots of traffic lights if you want to go into the city but if you are planning on touring the outskirts we found it really easy to escape from to go to Barossa/Adelaide Hills/ McLaren Vale/Hahndorf etc. Accomodation: comfortable, extra linens, wifi, an iron, a few toiletries, laundry facilities, decent size kitchen and fridge. Had some basic staples already stocked in the kitchen which was much appreciated. Large closets with drawers and hangers so we didn't have to live out of our suitcases. Lots of tourist info brochures. There was a folder with important emergency information which if in need would have been really good to have. Cons: no corkscrew (wasn't end of world since most wines were screw-cap). Really tight parking. If you have a large vehicle or SUV good luck, back in really slowly. We had a smallish car and managed with guidance. Second bedroom has two king-singles and we were two couples...but we made it work. TV was a little wonky, the image kept scrambling but I think we turned it on only once the whole week just to check the weather, so we weren't too worried about it. Overall really great unit and Roberta left us with some local wines so we were pretty happy from the start.Andrea2017-02-15T00:00:00Z
We had a great time in Adelaide and Roberta's place was lovely and comfortable and very kid friendly. My 5 year old loved the offer of DVDs and colouring items. Was very well stocked with kitchen appliances and a great place to rest our heads after busy days at WOMAD festival. Thanks again Roberta, we would recommend your place to others who are looking to travel to Adelaide.Carly2017-03-13T00:00:00Z

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Caristia. She was a great host, made us feel totally at home. Her home is in a lovely suburb and great location. The house is very clean and tidy and the bed very comfortable. Caristia is very friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend her place and would stay there again.Heather2014-10-19T00:00:00Z

Lovely quiet base from which to explore Adelaide. The accommodation benefits from a lovely large quiet garden overlooking the local park. The only noise is from the birdsong and tennis balls being struck on the court in the park. We liked it very much and the CBD is only 30 minutes away by bus.Colin2017-02-07T00:00:00Z
this is a the best travel experience.liu2017-02-15T00:00:00Z
I couldn't have had a better experience!! Caristia, and also her friend Rima (who was house sitting at Caristia's place for the first 2 days and I believe is also on airbnb) were the friendliest and most generous hosts I could have imagined! I had originally booked a motel in Adelaide for WOMAD and was totally desperate when on my arrival the motel told me they were overbooked and didn't offer me any alternative. I contacted Caristia from an internet cafe basically sitting on the street and she answered straight away although she was on holidays for the weekend!! She organised the contact to Rima who was house sitting for a couple of days. Both Caristia and Rima really made me feel very welcome! There was always yummy breakfast, Caristia provided me with all information I needed and even let me use her computer as I had to do a bit of work. When Caristia came back from her weekend, we had a connection straight away and I really enjoyed talking to her! Besides having such a nice host, also I have to say how beautiful Caristia's house is. It is in a quiet suburb, yet not far from the city. I enjoyed my coffee every morning in her garden which is surrounded by trees and very peaceful. The house is immaculately clean and also the room is fantastic (great mattress!). I am truely looking forward to stay at Caristia's place again, whenever I am in Adelaide, it is thousand times better than any hotel and as unlucky my trip started with the overbooked hotel, I felt incredibly lucky to have found such a nice place and such a friendly, warm, and helpful host!Eva2014-03-12T00:00:00Z
It was a very pleasant stay with Caristia. She is so caring and really take good care of us. Although the weather is very cold but she manage to keep us warm perfectly! A very beautiful and cosy house. We are very happy that we stayed with her while we are in Adelaide. An unforgettable memories for us in Australia :)Yyong2015-07-13T00:00:00Z
Caristia was very welcoming, and had me feeling right at home. The property wss in a very nice area, a short drive to things and stuff. The property was immaculate, and I had access to whatever essentials I needed. Highly recommendDavid2015-10-06T00:00:00Z

Had a lovely evening and amazing sleep in the outback studio! Thanks for a great stay - 5 stars on all counts :) We arrived after a very long day of driving and looking forward to a rest. The place was exceptionally well prepared - set up to be as welcoming as possible. The shower was roomy and powerful, and it was easily the most comfortable sleep of our trip. The room itself is private and was spacey enough for the both of us, which was nice, and we enjoyed the local culture in there! It made it really special. If you get a chance to stay here, try the local wine. Highly recommend. Di is great - we booked last minute and her communication was excellent. She's very responsive, clear and friendly.Tracey2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
This is a winner folks! We had such a lovely stay at Di's. Her 'outback' shed is a fantastic little destination on its own full with little surprises and eye for detail. The studio is a separate unit and has access to private bathroom and toilet. The unit contains a big comfy bed, sitting area and a counter with access to basic cooking equipment. Di provides her guests with a lovely wholesome breakfast (that can be prepped whenever suits) and Netflix has been set up for a relaxed night in. As such, our original plan for breakfast/dinner out changed into a cocooning experience in the 'outback'. The city is about 15min away which makes for an easy commute. I would recommend this place to any couple or (girl) 2 friends that want to have a laidback, comfortable and private experience in a beautiful setting.Kirsten2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
Fantastic little place and loved the outback theme. Very nice touches everywhere, artwork and handicrafts, and everything you need to make brekkie, we appreciated the basket of brekkie stuff and fresh water, very thoughtful. Thank you so much we will definitely consider staying again if we return to Adelaide!Freya2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

What a perfect little slice of Outback Australia in the middle of suburban Adelaide. Quaint, warm & inviting. A lot of love went into creating this homely nook and future visitors will feel right very welcome.Katarzyna2017-03-18T00:00:00Z
So much greatness to say about Di's little place. Cute, cozy and welcoming, with all your amenities. The bed is nice sized an comfortable, with tea and coffee fixings at the ready. Walking distance to great cafes, and just a quick 10 min Uber to city center. For those who may be put off by the separate bathroom, don't be. The locations is completely private, with ample lighting (day or night). Sparkly clean bathroom, with large shower and separate toilet. We loved the little piece of outback, and will definitely book again when in Adelaide.Teah2017-03-23T00:00:00Z

I stayed here while visiting friends close by. The location was good - close to the shops and cafes etc on The Parade (although be aware that the Coles there shuts early at weekends) and buses to the city, although you can walk it in 45 minutes or so. The apartment itself has seen better days, with dated decor and a stained carpet, but you get what you pay for and the bedding etc was decent and clean. Kitchen quite well equipped and there is an outside area where you can relax. You have to collect the keys from a nearby hotel which is fine if you have a car but would be trickier on public transport.Valerie2017-02-27T00:00:00Z

Beautiful apartment to stay in with everything you'd need. Poppy was a terrific host and easily contactable for questions. Apartment block a little 'old school' but apartment was perfect. Would totally stay again!James2017-02-28T00:00:00Z
This was our first Airbnb and wow we loved it. Poppy was a fabulous host and communicating was a breeze. Needless to say nothing was too much trouble and we felt so welcome. Poppy's place had everything in it we needed. The bed was comfy, the ammenities were perfect and wow what magic kitchen, we stayed for 10 days and it really felt like our place, home away from home. Poppy had put a lot of little extras in and the treats were lovely, thank you Poppy we enjoyed it all. What is also great is the location, approximately 2km out of the city and the bus route into the city was just around the corner. Two supermarkets, a Foodland, that has won International retailer of the year 2016 and 2017, it has everything from basics to gourmet delights, Woolworths is just across the road, a massive fresh seafood place close by and BWS is around the corner. It has a delightful array of restaurants and pubs in the next street over and it is all in walking distance. We were there 10 days and didn't need a car, we walked or used public transport. Poppy's at Eastwood is a great find and we look forward to returning. All in all, 10/10 Poppy we loved it. Bob & NickyRobert & Nicky2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Poppy's apartment was absolutely perfect for my brief trip back to adelaide. Although the building isnt much to look at from the outside, the apartment is exceptionally clean, spacious and modern on the inside, with a crisp airy feel throughout. I was commuting by bike during my stay, which only took 10-15mins into the city with a pleasant ride through the parklands. Having a lockup garage for the bike was a fantastic addition. Although i didnt meet Poppy in person, communication was fast and check in/check out was smooth and seemless. 100% would stay again and recommend to others. Thanks Poppy!Ash2017-03-08T00:00:00Z

"Fernlea" exceeded our expectations. Better than the description! A beautifully clean and quiet unit in a bushland setting. Comfy bed and an excellent bathroom with great lighting. Fully equipped kitchen and pantry with Anne's contribution of eggs and bacon for breakfast much appreciated. Just a few minutes drive from Burnside shopping centre. Our only regret is that we didnt see the resident koala! Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Anne and David!Richard2015-03-16T00:00:00Z
Anne and David were very welcoming and the accommodation was comfortable and extremely well set up. Lovely view into the bush garden.Valmai2013-12-23T00:00:00Z
This is a truly lovely apartment with extremely accommodating hosts. The location is very peaceful with local birds singing in the trees and lots of privacy. The pool is secluded and pretty. Natural light floods the apartment which is spacious and spotless with comfortable furniture. Our hosts were very friendly and stocked the refrigerator with breakfast items, saving us time and money. To top off a fantastic experience, we even got to enjoy a "pet" Koala languishing in the tree out front. We highly recommend venturing up Mount Lofty to visit Cleland Wildlife Park for expansive views of Adelaide and memorable interactions with all manner of animals unique to Australia. You won't find a better place to stay in the Adelaide area!Jill2014-03-28T00:00:00Z

Sally was a very welcoming host and made me feel most comfortable on arrival. The apartment was perfectly located in a leafy green suburb between the CBD and the Adelaide Hills. I would highly recommend this sublet to anyone looking for a room in a clean, well maintained apartment just minutes from many of Adelaide's tourist attractions. Thanks Sally!Dan2016-02-02T00:00:00Z
Sally was incredibly welcoming, on the 2nd night I was there she baked me some vegan cupcakes! I had amazing time staying with Sally. The room was very spacious, it looked into the backyard and I had room in the closet to store my things. The house was within walking distance to local shops, I had a car but it would be really easy to get around if you didn't. Next time I'm visiting Adelaide I will definitely be staying there again!Lauren2016-02-27T00:00:00Z
Really wonderful place to stay....nice and quite ...everthin i was expecting.close to the city and shops aswell.really recommend itShikku2017-01-10T00:00:00Z
I had a verry nice stay, Sally is a good host and will do everything to help you. Close to city and everything is like on the pictures. Oh and the dog is supercute!Sofie2016-11-15T00:00:00Z
Sally was great company, easy to talk to and very hospitable. This place for perfect for my friend and I as we used it as solely home base and stayed out all day. Her place is only 20mins by bus from the city and it is in a quiet location, great after a long day of sightseeing but also great if you just need to chill.Valentina 2016-02-09T00:00:00Z
Had a great time staying at Sally's. We didn't spend much time with Sally as she was out a lot but she was very kind and took us in last minute and made us feel very welcome. Her dog was adorable too! Good place to explore Adelaide fromFreya2016-07-07T00:00:00Z

Deb made my 2 night stay amazing. Everything was supplied, even a bottle of wine for the morning of my wedding! Beautiful home, I would definitely recommend!Kate2015-11-02T00:00:00Z
Thanks Deb for the great stay during our trip for Womad, your place is beautiful, temp perfect, decor interesting, sleeping very comfortable. The breakfast fare was great and you even do the washing up - fantastic. Thanks also for the tour of the city after we arrived - certainly beyond what we expected. Enjoyed chatting with you and David too. Will certainly tell any friends travelling to Adelaide about your great spot and hope to stop in again when next visiting. KathyKathy2016-03-15T00:00:00Z
This has got to be one of the BEST experiences we've had in a very long time. Deb and her furry family were great hosts. The location was perfect for us on a wine trail experience- and Deb directed us in the right direction, plus some others we would have never thought of. Thanks for that! You won't want for a thing - she's thought it all out perfectly. Great communication before and throughout our visit. Every little detail was executed to the 'T'. We loved it. From the linens on the bed, to the tea and biscuits- to the fresh eggs and cheese - well thought out. No need to look anymore- I can't wait to come back to be spoiled again!Kim2015-09-22T00:00:00Z
Staying at Deb's added our enjoyment of our stay in Australia and Adelaide. As we have stayed in a few B&B's mostly in Europe. This was one of the best if not the best. Superlatives are not enough to describe our stay with Deb. With Love from Gunn & BengtBengt2015-10-29T00:00:00Z
Deb was attentive and helpful when we heeded some assistance. Place was very clean and quite lovely.Antony2016-10-03T00:00:00Z
Deb made me very welcome, and the house is extremely comfortable. Breakfast on the verandah, watching people walk their dogs past, was a treat. MarkMark2015-11-05T00:00:00Z
Deb was incredibly welcoming, down to earth and friendly. Deb has thought of just about everything you could need for a perfect stay, beds very comfortable and the was bath fantastic for a soak after our long drive from Melbourne. Kitchenette with lovely breads, cheese, breakfast cereals, fruit and even Haighs chocolate! Deb's house is in a lovely quiet street, with a park and public pool nearby and also within walking distance of restaurants. We had a wonderful time in Deb's home, cant wait to go back and would highly recommend.Samantha2015-03-08T00:00:00Z
Very good communication at the outset. Flexible in being available on my arrival. Beautifully appointed bedrooms, living and dining areas. Luxury bathroom. Generous supply of good quality products in spreads, condiments, cereals, juices and milk, teas, breakfast needs. Warm and friendly greeting. Nothing too much trouble. A gracious host in every way. Excellent local knowledge. Provided little touches like lovely candles and flowers, fresh bowl of fruit. Comfortable beds and elegant bedding and fixtures. Cannot fault this lovely Air BnB. Will always stay there, knowing I am coming to a very clean and beautiful place to stay.Rachel2016-10-13T00:00:00Z

Chewn & Tim were the perfect hosts! They were sociable, friendly and easy-going. Tim made it easy for us to pick up the keys, settle in and make ourselves at home - great communication beforehand. On arrival, we were kindly asked to dinner and we had a great time socialising with Chewn, Tim and their friends. The place itself is stunning: modern, comfortable and extremely clean! The location is great too as it is very close to shops, cafes and restaurants on The Parade in Norwood and not too far from the city. We walked in mostly, but using public transport was just as easy. Would highly recommend staying at this place in Adelaide!Melissa & Stephen2015-10-15T00:00:00Z
I had an enjoyable experience staying at Tim & Chewns modern house. The unit was exactly as photographed. Everything was clean, tidy and absolutely comfortable with the various facilities such as a comfortable bed, unlimited wifi, TV (w/ netflix) and roomy enough to stay indoors on a rainy day. The house is at a great location, and it was near to cafes, restaurants, bars/pubs even a cinema was close by! A Supermarket was also right around the corner (3min walk). Chewn & Tim were very welcoming and accommodating. They gave me a lot of information about Adelaide and answered all my question I had. We also have found some time for a nice trip to Mt. Lofty (breathtaking view to the city) and Hahndorf (founded by germans - delicious food/beer). As a first time Airbnb experience it was 10/10 would do it again. Thanks again Tim & Chewn KlausKlaus 2015-07-21T00:00:00Z
The house is clean, cozy and artistic, more vibrant than the photos show. It's really comfortable living with the friendly hosts.Wanping2016-11-25T00:00:00Z
Simply, I can say 'the best house ever since I lived in Adelaide for 2 years. Me and my mom stayed for a month, really enjoyed living with tim and chewn. The room is really tidy and clean as it featured in pics. I strongly recommend this house for everyone. Thanks a million, Tim& Chewn.함2015-08-31T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay at Chewn and Tim's place - really comfortable, very close to everything we needed and great communication. Thanks guys!Sarah2017-01-27T00:00:00Z
Chewn and Tim are outstanding hosts. Their house even better, than it is illustrated on the photos. It's large, nice and you always feeling yourself as being at home. Moreover, we are really glad, that our acquaintance with Adelaide started from Norwood, since it is one of the best areas of the city! Tim and Chewn are really cordial and helpful and they are always glad to help you out with any occuring issue. We are very grateful to Chewn and Tim for their hospitality!Tatiana2015-10-05T00:00:00Z
Chewn & Tim are very nice & friendly. Their house is cozy, clean and comfortable seems like at home. The location is great, easy way to the city only take 10-15 minutes. There have many shops, restaurants even wine cellar. I would highly recommend this place to stay.Suzanne2016-02-11T00:00:00Z

Louise's house is just as she describes it. It is a lovely home in a beautiful, tree lined street within walking distance of all the shops, cafes and restaurants that Norwood has to offer. The house is beautifully decorated and has a gorgeous garden out the back. I can only highly recommend it as we loved our stay here!!Sally2016-12-08T00:00:00Z
Had a great stay at this beautiful Norwood home! The location is excellent and there is a lot to see and do around the place. Everything you need is here! Everything was organised before we arrived making the check in quick and easy. Thanks for a great stay.Jade2016-10-30T00:00:00Z
Louise's place is wonderful, and very closed to the parade. The backyard is amazing! House is big and nice to fit in more than 6 ppl. Louise is really nice host to make everything is ok while we check in and out. :) Definitely will come back again.Georgia2016-03-25T00:00:00Z
We spent 5 nights at Louise's and could not have been happier with either the house or the hosts. Louise went above and beyond to help us out - when we asked about getting some firewood she had a load delivered and stacked ready to use the next day! The house is beautiful but not precious. Everything feels inviting and comfortable as well as being gorgeous. Great times, great house, great hospitality. Very highly recommended.Athena2016-10-15T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay in Norwood for the Tour Down Under, the property was very spacious and had all the things + more that we needed for a brilliant visit. Close walking distance to shops, pub and cafes, Norwood is a brilliant old suburb and close to the city via at, public transport, bike or uber. Communication with Louise was fantastic. Would highly recommend this property for a family or group of friends visiting Adelaide.Brian2017-01-23T00:00:00Z
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was in a great location - close to town but also very tranquil. We especially enjoyed the backyard - a peaceful place to relax and read the paper, or for the kids to swing on the hanging chair! The house itself was also beautiful and recently renovated with plenty of room for everyone.Esther2016-03-29T00:00:00Z
Louise's house and garden were beautifully presented and well laid out making for a very relaxing stay. The communal areas had plenty of space and the large rear sitting room air conditioner was very effective. Louise was very helpful and communicative and made our family feel very welcome. The kids games and books were appreciated by our boys. The location was very convenient for us. We had a car, but we could see a regular bus service taking commuters into the central city. Would love to stay again one day!Barbara2016-01-14T00:00:00Z
I thought the house was going to be great, but it was even better! It was fantastic and we would have loved to have stayed longer. The house is so beautifully appointed, well presented, very spacious and clean. It was very quiet and well located for the local services in The Parade and not that far to get into town. I think it was great value. It would be lovely to stay when the weather was nicer and enjoy the outside spaces.Vicki2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

The two separate bedrooms are spacious and have very comfy mattresses. Kitchen is fully equipped, with nice extras like a nespresso machine. Our host was very helpful and easygoing, allowing us to check in a bit later. We were delighted with the homely feel of the place, as well as the location in Norwood with plenty of local restaurants within walking distance.

We had a great stay at Pam'a apartment. It's super clean, very well appointed, private and well located. The beds were especially good! Pam was very responsive during the booking process, and we enjoyed a lovely chat when we checked in. A really positive experience all-round. Thanks Pam!Shannon2017-01-23T00:00:00Z
Great host, and great airbnb. Everything was as described, great value. Cant fault it.Xanthos2017-01-26T00:00:00Z
The location is good, approx 10-15 minutes to the city. The unit complex is small and noise from neighbours can be heard, sometimes it sounds as though they are in the unit. Pam is a lovely host and the beds are nice and comfy. Only real problem was the internet. It wasn't working the 4 days we were there. We had our own as back up (Optus) but were told by neighbours the neighbourhood was bad for internet SO if you need internet daily, this is not a good place to stay.Sandra2017-01-15T00:00:00Z
This unit is simple and unassuming from the outside, but inside is freshly renovated, clean, and lovely. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The area was very quiet, but just a short walk to buses and shops. There are good quality products provided throughout, as well as really thoughtful extras such as chocolates, some kitchen basics and wine. Pam gave us clear advice about arriving and leaving, and we had no problems during our stay. I thought the place was excellent value for the price. This place is a hidden gem!Fiona2016-12-30T00:00:00Z
Pam's communication and hospitality is exemplary. Her attention to detail meant our stay was relaxing and we had everything we needed on hand. Highly recommended.Christian2017-03-12T00:00:00Z
What can I say, this place is amazing! When you first arrive, the outside is very deceiving. Once you open the door and walk in, it's exactly as per photos and as all other reviews. Pam is a wonderful host and communications is superior! Way better than most hotels. It was my birthday and Pam left a small gift which was a surprise and unexpected. I look forward to staying there again.Karma2017-02-05T00:00:00Z
Our host Pam was wonderful. She was very welcoming, had milk and other treats waiting for us and was spot on with ideas for places she thought we would enjoy visiting.

Chloe's place was perfect for us. Such a good design and all we needed for our stay. Its only a short walk to shops, great IGA with good Deli etc. Check out the Regal Theatre down the road, Art Deco original, very nice. Highly reommend this location and Chloe's place. Excellent communication too.Lee2017-03-14T00:00:00Z
This is a lovely house in the suburbs, just a short walk through a park to the local IGA supermarket. It really is a great location, with a little creek outside and lots of native birds. A two minute drive will take you to a Coles, K Mart, and five minutes will get you to Burnside Village, which is full of nice shops and cafes. The house itself is nice and clean, with a kitchen for making simple meals, and a Nespresso machine for coffee. Upstairs, the bathroom has a bath and shower, which is nice to relax at the end of the day. Very comfy couch for watching TV, and altogether it makes a comfortable place to stay in the leafy Adelaide suburbs.Elise & Sarah2016-12-26T00:00:00Z

Catherine's unit was a very comfortable place to stay for our week in Adelaide. It was in a pleasant and quiet neighbourhood within a good walking distance to shops, as well as being close to the city. The unit was just ideal to accommodate the two of us and Catherine was most responsive when communicating with us about arrangements prior to and during our stay. All the essential equipment for cooking was readily available and it was easy to feel quickly at home.

Verdi's Requiem Closes Grant Park Festival
In its final performances of the Summer 2011 season the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus along with guest soloists gave two performances of Verdi's Requiem.
Opera San Jose has capped a wholly winning season with an emotionally engaging, thrillingly sung, enticingly fresh rendition of Puccini's immortal masterpiece La bohème.
On Saturday evening April 22, 2017, San Diego Opera presented Giuseppe Verdi's La traviata at the Civic Theater. Director Marta Domingo updated the production from the constrictions of the nineteenth century to the freedom of the nineteen twenties. Violetta's fellow courtesans and their dates wore fascinating outfits and, at one point, danced the Charleston to what looked like a jazz combo playing Verdi's score.
Thomas Adès's third opera, The Exterminating Angel, is a dizzying, sometimes frightening, palimpsest of texts (literary and cinematic) and music, in which ceaseless repetitions of the past - inexact, ever varying, but inescapably compulsive - stultify the present and deny progress into the future. Paradoxically, there is endless movement within a constricting stasis. The essential elements collide in a surreal Sartrean dystopia: beasts of the earth (live sheep and a simulacra of a bear) roam, a disembodied hand floats through the air, water spouts from the floor and a burning cello provides the flames upon which to roast the sacrificial lambs. No wonder that when the elderly Doctor tries to restore order through scientific rationalism he is told, "We don't want reason! We want to get out of here!"
Is A Dog's Heart even an opera? It is sung by opera singers to live music. Alexander Raskatov's score, however, is secondary to the incredible stage visuals. Whatever it is, actor/director Simon McBurney's first stab at opera is fantastic theatre. Its revival at Dutch National Opera, where it premiered in 2010, is hugely welcome.
I kept hearing from knowledgeable opera fanatics that the Israeli Opera (IO) in Tel Aviv was a surprising sure bet. So I made my way to the Homeland to hear how supposedly great the quality of opera was. And man, I was in for treat.
At Phoenix's Symphony Hall on Friday evening April 7, Arizona Opera offered its final presentation of the 2016-2017 season, Gioachino Rossini's Cinderella (La Cenerentola). The stars of the show were Daniela Mack as Cinderella, called Angelina in the opera, and Alek Shrader as Don Ramiro. Actually, Mack and Shrader are married couple who met singing these same roles at San Francisco Opera.
On Saturday evening April 1, 2017, Placido Domingo and Los Angeles Opera celebrated their tenth year of training young opera artists in the Domingo-Colburn-Stein Program. From the singing I heard, they definitely have something of which to be proud.
The town's name itself "Baden-Baden" (named after Count Baden) sounds already enticing. Built against the old railway station, its Festspielhaus programs the biggest stars in opera for Germany's largest auditorium. A Mecca for music lovers, this festival house doesn't have its own ensemble, but through its generous sponsoring brings the great productions to the dreamy idylle.
The Festspielhaus in Baden-Baden pretty much programs only big stars. A prime example was the Fall Festival this season. Grigory Sokolov opened with a piano recital, which I did not attend. I came for Cecilia Bartoli in Bellini's Norma and Christian Gerhaher with Schubert's Die Winterreise, and Anne-Sophie Mutter breathtakingly delivering Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto together with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Robin Ticciati, the ballerino conductor, is not my favorite, but together they certainly impressed in Mendelssohn.
Mahler as dramatist! Mahler Symphony no 8 with Vladimir Jurowski and the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall. Now we know why Mahler didn't write opera. His music is inherently theatrical, and his dramas lie not in narrative but in internal metaphysics. The Royal Festival Hall itself played a role, literally, since the singers moved round the performance space, making the music feel particularly fluid and dynamic. This was no ordinary concert.
Imagine a fête galante by Jean-Antoine Watteau brought to life, its colour and movement infusing a bucolic scene with charm and theatricality. Jean-Philippe Rameau's opéra-ballet Les fêtes d'Hébé, ou Les talens lyriques, is one such amorous pastoral allegory, its three entrées populated by shepherds and sylvans, real characters such as Sapho and mythological gods such as Mercury.
Whatever one's own religious or spiritual beliefs, Bach's St Matthew Passion is one of the most, perhaps the most, affecting depictions of the torturous final episodes of Jesus Christ's mortal life on earth: simultaneously harrowing and beautiful, juxtaposing tender stillness with tragic urgency.
Lindy Hume's sensational La bohème at the Berliner Staatsoper brings out the moxie in Puccini. Abdellah Lasri emerged as a stunning discovery. He floored me with his tenor voice through which he embodied a perfect Rodolfo.
Listening to Moritz Eggert's Caliban is the equivalent of watching a flea-ridden dog chasing its own tail for one-and-half hours. It scratches, twitches and yelps. Occasionally, it blinks pleadingly, but you can't bring yourself to care for such a foolish animal and its less-than-tragic plight.
A large audience packed into the Wigmore Hall to hear the two Baroque rarities featured in this melodious performance by Christian Curnyn's Early Opera Company. One was by the most distinguished 'home-grown' eighteenth-century musician, whose music - excepting some of the lively symphonies - remains seldom performed. The other was the work of a Saxon who - despite a few ups and downs in his relationship with the 'natives' - made London his home for forty-five years and invented that so English of genres, the dramatic oratorio.
On March 24, 2017, Los Angeles Opera revived its co-production of Jacques Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann which has also been seen at the Mariinsky Opera in Leningrad and the Washington National Opera in the District of Columbia.
Ermonela Jaho is fast becoming a favourite of Covent Garden audiences, following her acclaimed appearances in the House as Mimì, Manon and Suor Angelica, and on the evidence of this terrific performance as Puccini's Japanese ingénue, Cio-Cio-San, it's easy to understand why. Taking the title role in the first of two casts for this fifth revival of Moshe Leiser's and Patrice Caurier's 2003 production of Madame Butterfly, Jaho was every inch the love-sick 15-year-old: innocent, fresh, vulnerable, her hope unfaltering, her heart unwavering.
Calliope Tsoupaki's latest opera, Fortress Europe, premiered as spring began taming the winter storms in the Mediterranean.
To celebrate its 40th anniversary New Sussex Opera has set itself the challenge of bringing together the six scenes - sometimes described as six discrete 'tone poems' - which form Delius's A Village Romeo and Juliet into a coherent musico-dramatic narrative.
Reflections on former visits to Opera Holland Park usually bring to mind late evening sunshine, peacocks, Japanese gardens, the occasional chilly gust in the pavilion and an overriding summer optimism, not to mention committed performances and strong musical and dramatic values.
In its final performances of the Summer 2011 season the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus along with guest soloists gave two performances of Verdi's Requiem.
The featured singers were Amber Wagner, soprano, Michaela Martens, mezzo-soprano, Michael Fabiano, tenor, and Kyle Ketelsen, bass. William G. Spaulding was the guest chorus director and the Grant Park Orchestra was conducted by Carlos Kalmar.
The first section of the Requiem was especially effective with Kalmar eliciting moving gestures from the cello section followed by the other strings with a gradually intensifying volume. The Grant Park Chorus set a dignified tone as piano segments alternated with vocal exhortations such as "Exaudi" ("Hear"). Noteworthy was the effect of legato singing so that the pace remained consistent up to the entrance of the soloists in this section. Each of the latter sang an introductory line on "Kyrie eleison" or "Christe eleison" with moving expressiveness. The blending of principal singers and chorus was established here for the balance of the work, so that neither dominated but rather all achieved an ideal synthesis.
The "Dies irae," or second part, began with appropriate dramatic and percussive force before modulating to a more speculative and quiet section for the chorus. Trumpets were positioned on either side of the chorus above the stage in order to magnify the call to judgment. As the next part for bass and chorus, "Tuba mirum" ("wondrous trumpet"), followed seamlessly, Mr. Ketelsen released declarative and lyrically controlled reminders on "mors" and "natura" ("death" and "nature"). He followed these with a chillingly hushed piano on the repeated "mors" and low bass notes of warning on "stupebit" ("shall be stunned"). In the following section for mezzo-soprano and chorus, "Liber scriptus" ("a written book"), Ms. Martens sang with comparable feeling to announce the judgment. She used her upper register most effectively on words such as "Judex" and "judicetur" while singing a touching melisma on "proferetur" ("will be brought forth"). Between these parts for soloists and chorus Kalmar led the orchestra through reprises of the "Dies irae" motif with carefully measured tempos. In the subsequent appeal for pity shared by the four soloists and chorus Ms. Wagner sang a smoothly descending line punctuated with impressively soaring top notes. Mr. Fabiano's accompanying soft notes sung on the repetition were equally effective. As a conclusion to this part Ms. Wagner performed the final sequence of "Salva me" with a memorable diminuendo.
In the succeeding "Recordare" duet for the women both Wagner and Martens excelled not only in their individual parts but also in blending their voices, for example, at "Juste judex" ("Righteous judge"). Martens sang here with well chosen vibrato so that her part was rendered with true pathos, while Wagner's beautifully held pitch on "causa" ("the reason") added to the prayerful effect. Just as sensitive to communicating text, Fabiano's moving tenor "Ingemisco" which followed was one of the highlights of this performance. His rising notes on "Mariam" and "exaudisti" ("you heeded") were sung with convincing emotional fervor, underlined by ringing top notes directly on pitch for "in parte dextra" ("at Your right hand"). In the "Lacrimosa," a section in which all four soloists have significant parts, the magnificent lines were produced with sensitivity to the appeal for rest and mercy. Following in the "Offertorio" both tenor and bass included decorative and well executed trills as an emphasis on "offerimus."
The concluding segments of the Requiem, the "Sanctus," "Agnus Dei," and "Libera me" in this performance were significant for the interplay of orchestral and vocal elements. In the "Lux aeterna" the flute solo was distinctly present as Ms. Martens's rising line was repeated at "lux perpetua luceat eis" ("may eternal light shine on them"). Ms. Wagner's final solo in "Libera me" was dramatic as well as poignant. Her thrilling high notes resolved into a prayer to end the work with gentle orchestral accompaniment on its final note of supplication. Such a moving performance emphasized the devotional and musical strengths of Verdi's religious masterpiece.

Mauritius Villa Rental: Tips for Finding an Offer That Best Suits You
Villa rental is a promising sector in Mauritius. More and more holidaymakers make the choice of this type of accommodation, mainly because of the privacy it offers and its ideal location.

Expert in Mauritius holiday accommodation, we make sure to look for an offer that will best suit your search criteria. We can also negotiate free night offers or other special offers that apply.

You might be far from home but you should immediately, right from the entry, get a home-like feeling and embrace the relaxed atmosphere of the place. Services provided are therefore important to reach this feeling. Daily cleaning, sun loungers, personal chef, maintenance of pool and garden, laundry, generator, barbecue facilities and air-conditioned rooms are some examples that will undoubtedly contribute to your comfort.
How to find an offer that will meet your profile? Retired person will most of the time look for a secluded place, where they will enjoy perfect tranquillity and rest. They are most likely to go for a beachfront Mauritius villa rental or they are also usually opened to renting a private villa with own pool and close to the beach.
As for honeymooners, it is important to mention the purpose of your Mauritius holidays when requesting for a quote for a Mauritius villa rental. Why ? Simply because special honeymoon offer can be applied. For example, at our honeymoon villa with private pool and garden in Pereybere, you will enjoy a special setting and treat on arrival. Champagne, tasteful décor, access to an exclusive beach… perfect romantic getaway! At this same villa, they can also organise your wedding service. Breakfast is included in the rental of the villa.

If you require a 4 bedroom villa, with services of a cook, we can offer you a villa facing the lagoon of Pereybere. Bus routes can be found close by and you can easily catch the bus for Grand Baie, the very appreciated tourist village.
Many of our luxury villas in Mauritius will offer you unparalleled comfort, with private pool and garden. If you want an exclusive private beach, a high standard villa, tastefully decorated, the Royal Spice villa will provide you a memorable vacation.

Use This Simple Trick When In Emergency Situations For Safety And You'll Be Happy To Do So
#5 Emergencies
It is for sure that at some point of your life, you will face an unexpected situation.
One among the things to take care is food.
Yes, food is the one thing that is a necessity even under emergencies !!
#4 Miss Sheila Pulanco Russell
Being thankful to Miss Sheila Polanco Russell, you need to learn this new trick.
Whenever you walk out at emergencies, you can use the "The One Cup Tip" to make sure your food in the fridge is safe when you return.
This is how you can..
#3 Connection
Before knowing how, you need to know why ???
The three important things needed for this tip are a coin, a mug, some water.
There is nothing in common really but when you need to evacuate you can't think of dealing with everything correctly.
You can use this tip to determine if or not the food you store in the refrigerator is still edible
#2 Process
You just need to take some water in a mug, put it in the fridge.
Allow it to freeze to solid state. Then, put a coin on the top of it.
You can come to a conclusion when you return to your home about the food using these steps.
#1 Judgement Time !!
If the coin is at the top of the ice full in the mug, the food is good. As the fridge wasn't off for a longer time for the ice to melt.
If the coin is in the middle of the cup on the ice, the food is not totally ok nor wasted. You can probably check once for edibility.
If the coin is on the bottom and the ice is melted down, you should throw the food away as it is rotten and wasted.
Stay careful and tackle emergencies with courage using this practical knowledge !!

Students Can Earn Both German and Engineering Degrees Through U of A Program
International Engineering Program students Connor Heo (from left), Allison Rucker, Steven Blackiston, Braelyn Smith and John McKenna gear up for a successful fall semester.
Students with an interest in expanding their international career options can enroll in the International Engineering Program — a multidisciplinary initiative between the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, through a partnership between the Department of World Languages, Literatures and Cultures and the College of Engineering.
Launched last year, the International Engineering Program allows students to earn both a German and an engineering or computer science degree in five years including a year spent in Germany.
"The program is intended for students who wish to expand their job opportunities and who understand that knowing another language is an important skill in today's business world," said Kathleen Condray, associate professor of German in the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, and co-founder of the program.
Condray said that International Engineering Program has received a lot of student interest in the past year, with 20 students already enrolled.
Program co-founder Bryan Hill, engineering's assistant dean for student recruitment, honors and international programs, agreed with Condray and said interest in the program has been steadily increasing.
"Interested applicants explain why they wish to study both engineering and German in an essay," he said. "Many students express their interest in having an advantage in the global career market, as well as gaining knowledge of Germany's engineering and STEM innovation."
Condray said that students in this five year program spend their fourth year in Germany studying for a semester at the Techinal University of Darmstadt, a member of the TU9 Consortium of leading technical universities in Germany. While there, students also spend a semester interning for a German company.
The first student to study abroad through the International Engineering Program is Steven Sonntag, who is currently studying at the Technical University of Darmstadt and will begin working for a German company through the Cultural Vistas program in the spring.
"My time here in Germany is going to greatly increase the quality of career I'll be able to obtain in the future," Sonntag said. "With the world becoming more and more globalized, participants of the IEP will have a leg up on other students thanks to the engineering internship that we have during the second semester in Germany."
Condray said that Germany has one of the soundest economies in Europe, and is an important partner in the European Union. German STEM branches have traditionally been leaders in their fields with firms such as BASF, Bayer, BMW, Mercedes, Merck, Porsche and SAP.
However, the International Engineering Program is not just for students who wish to work abroad. The United States is home to many German-owned corporations. Arkansas alone has over 23 businesses with German parent companies, which are responsible for more than 1,500 jobs.
These facts add up to appealing career options for students like Sonntag.
"I had studied German throughout high school, and didn't want to lose the language, so I continued studying it at the U of A with my engineering courses," Sonntag said. "My freshman year, Bryan Hill, the assistant dean of engineering, came to one of my classes and told us about the new program he was working on with the German department. I always wanted to study in Germany, and this program offered me the best opportunity to take courses in a country that is synonymous with engineering."
For interested future applicants, Condray suggests that students do as Sonntag did and begin taking German in high school. This is because the 10-semester degree plan assumes that they will begin their college studies in Intermediate German I.
However, if students feel they are behind or weren't able to take many German courses in high school, summer classes can still catch them up on language skills.
