독일 베를린에서 6월 18일 개최된 Essence Conference에서 Fujitsu Services사 Chief Architect인 Ste Nadin이 발표한 Essence 적용사례에 관한 강연의 동영상을 공유합니다.
Ste Nadin, Chief Architect, Business and Application Services, Fujitsu Services
We currently live in an disruptive age where the standard industry processes and thinking are constantly being challenged. This disruption is changing the ways Fujitsu customers are looking to engage and the manner that Fujitsu has to respond to deliver end to end solutions. It is therefore becoming more vital than ever that a common and firm foundation can be used to act as the anchor point to deliver successfully. SEMAT is this anchor point. In this presentation we want to explore how Essence from practical experience has been used to allow successful delivery. This will look at instances where both Fujitsu has worked in partnership with customers as well as different parts of Fujitsu with different methods delivering in a unified manner. This will look at the challengers overcome and the opportunities further down the line.

Navaughn Donaldson didn't participate in the camp over the weekend, but he was seen watching intently the things that were going on. After Friday Night Lights was over, we ran into him for a few quick questions.
Donaldson said he does like the program at Florida and that he had some good words with the staff and they let him know of his importance.
"I like the school, the stadium and the work ethic her," he said. "I talked to some of (the staff). I have a good chance of starting here and a good chance of getting playing time early.
He understands the need for offensive tackles and that has the Miami commitment putting the Gators high on his list of possibilities at the end of the recruiting process.
"They really need me at both tackle spots, so I like that," he said. "Florida is up there, I like it."
With fall camp starting for both the Gators and his high school program, Donaldson knows he will return to see Gainesville at least one more time before all is said and done.
"I will be back for an official visit," he said.

Engadget Review
ASUS MeMO Pad 7 and 8 review: small, speedy tablets that cut a few corners
The MeMO Pad 7 is easily one of the fastest 7-inch tablets you can get for under $200, but you'll miss out on extras like high-quality cameras and video output.
- Very fast for the money
- Simple, speedy interface
- Comfortable design
- Lousy cameras
- Quiet speakers
- No HDMI video
The MeMO Pad HD 7 was arguably the sleeper hit among small tablets in 2013. ASUS' device didn't have the speed of the Nexus 7 or the interface tricks of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 3 line, but it was superbly balanced. It ran smoothly, packed smart software and (most importantly) carried a sub-$200 price. For that reason, this year's MeMO Pad 7 and 8 are potentially exciting; they stick to that familiar formula while bringing in faster processors and a fresher interface. What's not to like? As you'll find out in our review, there are a few aspects that definitely need improvement, or even take steps backward -- but it's also clear that ASUS has budget-tablet design down to a science.

Harworth has a particular resonance in the benighted history of British coalmining. The colliery, right on the county border in the heart of the Nottinghamshire/Yorkshire coalfield, was the site of one of the uglier episodes of the 1984 miners' strike when up to 10,000 pickets laid siege, with bricks flying indiscriminately between police and strikers.
It is one of the deepest of the last UK mines, and in its heyday dug the rich, fabled Barnsley Seam, producing coal of such quality that it fired the Flying Scotsman on its record-breaking London-to-Edinburgh journey.
But the reason for the donkey jacket's sudden appearance in an online auction is the news that Harworth, after more than two years of being mothballed - and many had presumed permanent closure - is set to reopen some time in the coming months with the creation in time of up to 400 jobs.
That announcement coincided with the reporting of a quadrupling of the profits of UK Coal (the stock-market listed rump of the privatised British Coal and Harworth's owner) and with the separate news that the biggest flotation on the London Stock Exchange this year, set for next week, is to be a coalminer.
So what has heralded this apparent return of King Coal?
The simple answer comes from 10,000 miles away with the news that the world's largest coalminer - a joint venture between Australia's BHP Billiton and Mitsubishi of Japan - has signed contracts to supply the worldwide steel mills of Britain's richest resident Lakshmi Mittal at a price 211% higher than last year.
Coal, stoked by the demand of hungry economies of China and India, has become an expensive commodity, and suddenly long-forgotten resources are being revalued.
Few took note when the Czech Republic privatised its last state-owned mines - incidentally once owned by the Rothschilds in the 19th century - in the old rust-belt region of Silesia for about €400 million (£314 million) in 2004. Four years later, the business, now renamed New World Resources (NWR), is set to be valued at close to 12 times that figure when it makes its debut in London at the end of next week, the biggest initial public offering of the year here.
"Our mines are in a region like the former powerhouses of Europe like the Ruhr in Germany or around Newcastle," says Mike Salomon, the ex-Billiton man bringing NWR to market. "Except we still have billions of tonnes of coal in the ground, and we are serving the large manufacturing growth in central and Eastern Europe."
So do rising prices herald a renaissance in the British coalmining industry? Despite the dewy-eyed claims of some that we have 1000 years of coal under our feet in Britain, the answer is probably no.
The output of UK Coal goes to the giant ageing power stations of the north Midlands and Yorkshire, which are responsible for up to quarter Britain's generated electricity and many of which are applying to move to so-called clean coal technology, extending their lives beyond 2015 when new pollution laws come in.
This is the good news for UK Coal, which supplies about 15% of these stations' needs; the bad news is that well into the next decade it is stuck on historically priced contracts, leaving it unable to take advantage of the soaring global price.
The City knows this. It sees UK Coal for what it is: a £1 billion property play developing 25,000 homes and 30 million square feet of offices and warehouses on the wastelands of closed coalfields with the coal-producing arm a nil-priced option which may - or may not - pay future dividends.
For even with soaring global prices, the word from UK Coal is not expansion of its portfolio of ultimately high-cost mines. Indeed the reopening of Harworth is tempered by the planned closure next year of nearby Welbeck Colliery.
As one sceptic told the local newspaper, it probably means UK Coal has worked out Welbeck is worth more as a property investment than Harworth.

Peter Crouch, Redknapp's £11million signing from Liverpool, scored what looked certain to be the winner just after the hour when he coolly converted Jermain Defoe's pass after brilliant work by Lassana Diarra.
Pompey had enough chances to win comfortably and put on a treat for the fans until former Spurs defender Younes Kaboul spoiled an otherwise immaculate display by letting in American Dempsey to drill in fellow substitute Erik Nevland's pass.
Although Glen Johnson, Sol Campbell and Sean Davis were all missing, Pompey were the driving force in an absorbing, fast-moving game and had a distinct edge on chances.
Kaboul had a header hacked off the line from an early corner from Diarra and Richard Hughes, Crouch and Armand Traore kept Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer busy.
Schwarzer was Fulham's saviour again just after the half-hour mark when Pompey left-back Nadir Belhadj came dancing through in a superb solo run to hit a shot which the goalkeeper clung onto as Defoe closed in.
But the Defoe-Crouch partnership and Diarra's non-stop industry looked the major differences between the two sides in the second half and, eventually, was bound to pay dividends.
Just after the hour Diarra, back from three games out through suspension and a bad knee, just would not give up when foiled in a solo burst through the centre.
He won back possession, fed Defoe and he laid off the perfect pass for Crouch to drill home and join his partner on six goals for the season.
But victory was denied through Dempsey's late strike and referee Mark Halsey confounded Pompey by denying a late shout for a penalty on substitute Niko Kranjcar in stoppage time.Reuse content

Welcome to the Genesis Blog
We've all heard that statistics. Rising cardiovascular and heart disorders, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, 40 percent of the WORLD is overweight blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We know…yeah we know.
People are always throwing statistics and new studies about how we, as a human race, are generally unhealthy fat, sluggish, lazy people who will eventually have bodies that will make Jabba the Hut look like Kate Upton. That's only part of the problem though.
The fact is, it's extremely difficult not be fat these days. The convenience, comfort, and affordability of fast food chains on every corner is crippling to most people. It's so easy to go pick up a meal after work for the family now that is cheap, tastes really good, and you don't have to do a thing to get it, except pay for it. It's hard going grocery shopping, picking out healthy foods, calculating your calories every day, spending the time to prepare the foods. It's fun going out to restaurants. It's fun socializing with friends and family and paying people to prepare and serve your food and then clean up after you. It's comfortable sitting down with chips, cheese dip, ice cream (insert your favorite snack here) and sprawling out in front of the TV to watch a 19 hour marathon of the Walking Dead.
I've encountered some people in my time who are perfectly comfortable being fat. They have seemingly high self-confidence, they aren't worried about their health, they are perfectly fine having to shop in the big and tall section. The cost of putting time and effort into becoming a more healthy person just doesn't outweigh the benefit to them, and I'm perfectly fine with that. It's your life, do what you want. Do what makes you happy. But, for the rest of us, our bodies are just not to up to par where we want them to be. I want to help make it easy for people to lose fat and get into great shape. I want to give people the information that I used to lose 110 lbs and to reclaim my body and health. I'm doing this by providing you with the knowledge of how fat loss works and the best strategies to implement to lose the most fat in the least amount of time, while keeping all of your precious fat-free muscle mass.
This is me several years ago, maybe not quite to Jabba status, but pretty close. I was a few pizza and beers away from blowing the elastic out of my stretchy shorts.
This is me now.
Do I look like I could be cast as a double in the new Channing Tatum or Matthew McConaughey movie? NO, of course not. But what I have done is lose a ton of fat, built a solid foundation of muscle, boosted my self-confidence by about 1000 % and done a lot of other really cool stuff that I never could have at my former level of health. I still have several pounds of fat to lose to get where I want to be and also a lot of muscle building as well. But I wanted to share what I have accomplished so far. What worked, what didn't work and why.
"Judd did you lose all this fat by taking some great diet pill, or energy supplement that is guaranteed to curb my hunger and give me the energy of Jordan Belfort on crack!" No. "Judd how many carbs did you eat every day when losing all that fat?" Uh…a lot. "Judd you must have went Paleo and only eaten foods that my dog would turn her nose up to?" Not that either.
The biggest problem of the health and fitness industry is that people LIE. Why do people lie you ask?
People lie because they are dumb and don't know any better.
People lie to make money and sell you a bunch of crap that you don't need.
"I'm appalled Judd, people would lie to me to make money?" Uh…yep. I saw an ad a few days ago selling some stupid rubber band stretchy resistance piece of crap workout equipment. The guy on TV actually said, "Science has recently discovered that the best and fastest way to tone your muscles is high reps with low intensity." Lies, lies, lies, lies, LIES!!!! But, I'll get into that in another article. My point, people will say whatever they think to be right, which is probably a lie someone told them, or they will say what will make them money.
"But Judd, how do we trust what you tell us?" Because everything I know that works and doesn't work I'm telling you for free. Yes I do sell personalized services, but to be successful at transforming your body and your life, you don't need them. All you need is the knowledge of what works best and what doesn't work to make your fat loss journey as pain-less and timely as possible. That's what I'm offering.
So, let's dive in to it. Download my FREE Ebook, "The 5 Most Effective Rules for Fat Loss", to continue reading and get started on your weight loss journey today!!

Reinvest every cent into your business
Business is an ongoing investment. It's like a house, you must constantly reinvest. Constantly reinvest in order for your business to grow in value.
Business is an ongoing investment. It's like a house, you must constantly reinvest. Constantly reinvest in order for your business to grow in value.
In order for you to go to the next level, to the highest level in business there is a demand from the market. There is not just a requirement, there is a desperate need for authenticity.
As a leader it's important to establish trust within your team. And for that to happen you've got to have a high level of calm and assertiveness.
When you can accept full responsibility for every creation in your life, you fully own the power. You become powerful beyond measure.
Business has to be a way of life, otherwise it is painful, because you end up going up and down, up and down, up and down. Make good habits permanent.
One of the fastest ways that you can increase your sales and also increase your ability to influence, is engage in what I call 'radical honesty.'
When people don't succeed I ask them this question, "What is your relationship with failure?" And I often get a very strange and weird look.
Most entrepreneurs are introvert but in order to truly, deeply, honestly and authentically connect with people, we must be willing to relinquish judgment and we must be willing to completely accept people for who they are.
The first and most important part of influence is authority. Authority is a presence of specialty. So what do you think is absent in the presence of authority? Uncertainty, doubt and neediness.
When it comes to business, and even in life, I've learnt that there are two key components that lead to success – one is relationships, the other is value.

A big, big thank you to all my friends online who made this volume possible. Teamwork! A nice network of Sambistas at work making this possible. Bravo to all you collectors out there!
I'll add also that the RARITY of these LP's & these mixes borders on the MIRACULOUS!!

I'll ask you to consider the rarity of the material that I have to work with. The 70's is a "Finite" era! Let's look at these selections instead as an experiment in continuity. I'll be truthful here by saying that I didn't think I could make another volume. With "Spirit" all things are possible. Thank you "Great Spirit" for working through me. I hope you enjoy this 13th installment of the series. Also, the intention of this series is not a "DANCE MIX", but a very nice look at some key albums of the 70's MPB/Samba scene. An experiment in continuity. OK?

P.S. If I told you that Sky Father Shango/Xangô had bestowed upon me the right to emit lightning bolts from my fingertips, you'd probably think I was crazy. Oh well, but welcome to wonderful mythical world of Candomblé. If I say that I go into trance & become possessed by the dieties when I put these compilations together, then IT IS SO! BOOM!
This page is about magic. Dance Magic! The sound of the Samba Bass drum is the very sound of Shango/Xangô.
"I put a spell on you". That spell? That dance ecstasy may surround you while listening to this mighty procession of the Gods of Heavenly song & dance!

Hi friends. Well, the blooming season unfolds for us with yet another musical bouquet. I'll ask that you NOT pardon the ever returning cast of artists who've become the "Norm" around here. I lay these out as if this were a radio broadcast & seek only a sense of continuity with what I present. For those of us who've come to enjoy this series, may volume 15 live up to the overall quality of the proceedings presented in previous issues. It has been been my greatest pleasure to be a guide of sorts, even though I can not get my tongue around that beautiful, exotic Portuguese to speak it. Oh well, my heart is in it. To Spring & in my book, that's Aires, Taurus & Gemini. I'm a Taurus & this series is presented by a "Child Of The Spring" To others of this season. Cheers!

Hey everybody! Well, it's that birthday time of the year for me & I feel like opening my first gift. So here it is & I'm overjoyed to have onlookers to share it with it. Why stop at 18 hours of Samba when the true carnival spirit would surely be more like 19 or 20. Right? Those of us who live in regions where that darn sun just won't seem to come out, then this installment of the series will be for some like the VERY SUN ITSELF. I drop these volumes because this is truly my tempo & yes, I live my life in a carnival line...HEY! Happy birthday to me! I hope you enjoy my gift?
P.S. If you happen to be listening to this in public transit, please let out a big smile to the world. It's always ever so welcomed! Peace onto the soul of humanity & I not only mean it, but I kind it too. Quero Alegria (I Want Joy)
Thank you Greg & Moos & Zeca & all of my buddies online who added to the proceedings herein. We rock.
One last thing. About that Giovana. When you're mining, we don't leave nuggets behind when we find the MOTHERLOAD.
So if Giovana was on my baseball team, she would certainly be MOST VALUABLE PLAYER! Geraldo Filme & those BADASS MOFOs Candeia & Nadinho Da Ilha too.

That last track - Santas Almas Benditas by Leci Brandão has one of the most bizarre uses of Samba bass drum placement. It's playing in the opposite timing in an off-beat. Let's see who's paying attention?
Somewhere within this series is a story of FLOW. If you've flowed this far then thank you to those of us who flow with this procession.

Hey Everybody! Good budd "J" on the selector once again. As long as I can find 24 yummy goodies to place in an installment, then we're gonna keep it keepin' on. Those friends of this Samba-hotspot who were around last year at this time will remember that I love to drop one as the seasons change. So here's to summer! The biggest thank you to those DJ's who contributed to the success of this series. Thank you Greg for the tip on the Odair Cabeça De Poeta & Grupo Capote track "Isso E Bonito" & the Sonia Lemos & the Nonato E Seu Conjunto additions to this issue. DJ Moos sends massive hugs to this volume with the Beth Carvalho, Jorginho do Império, Clara Nunes & the Pedrinho Rodrigues e os Nacionais, as well as the tip on the Maria Creuza. Thanks Moos.
As always, big love to Loronix, Toque Musical, Abracadabra - LPs Do Brasil, Acervo Origens, Capsula da Cultura, Na Onda Do Samba-Rock, Som Barato & Quimsy's Mumbo Jumbo for their support in making this miracle of broadcasting a reality. The truth of this compilation series is that it is a major co-creation with Samba lovers world-wide. May we who get our groove on with the Godly procession of the heavenly messengers of song & dance be delighted by the proceeding herein. Big hugs, Jus

One more tally. 409 songs = 20 hours of music.
For newer friends of this page who are not familiar with the Samba form, please start with the earlier volumes of this series. They're more of a mix of MPB & Samba. The later issues of this series are leaning more towards the Samba because I feel this genre is a bit under-discovered & it's my aim to highlight this lovely movement just a bit.

Hey everybody & hope all are enjoying the spring season. Well, here I am again with another volume of the St. Julian Samba Showdown series. This very special post goes out to my buddy in Paris, Arnaud. Happy birthday Arnaud. I start this volume with a favorite artist of Arnaud & myself, Dóris Monteiro. Here is a great example of the the Samba song "Maita" written by Giovana from her LP "Qem Tem Carinho Me Leva" from 1975 performed here in a yummy MPB production by Dóris. This post also goes out to Aline. Thank you for your support Aline. I'm glad some people are as in love with this magnificent form as I am. Let's see if the fans of this series find this installment of the Samba Showdown up to the standard of the genre? To the return of the light which Spring always is! Let's Samba.

P.S. I barely managed to squeeze by with a 70 minute CD rip of this. It was 45 seconds over 70 minutes, but will burn as a CD. For those who still use CD's?
My goal here with this series is to reveal all tracks & the LP's that they come from & completely show these albums off by dipping back to key albums & highlighting them in a round-up. I seek a sense of continuity from volume to volume. As I've said before, that I consider this a type of reporting. I'm just here to take a good focused look at the 70's in Brasil.
Also, the original version of "Maita" by Giovana can be found on volume 4 of the Showdown series.

Well folks, here's the 20th installment of the Samba Showdown series. I know that there's only a few die-hard fans of this series, so this post is for us I guess? I'm going to let the newer fans of Samba & MPB catch up with those of us who can easily listen to this glorious musical form endlessly. Should I see the list of listener feedback increase in the coming months, then I might be able to squeeze another volume out of my collection. My hope is that your feet will be tapping along with the rhythmic bliss contained on these tracks. I actually see the shining face of God when I hear this happy, upbeat and endlessly delightful music. This is a very heart centered music and I find that it connects me deeply to my heart. Bliss happens at the center! Ahhhhhh.

I had issues with the quality of a few tracks & the sequencing, so I re-present volume 21.
For fans of this page. I hope you enjoy.
P.S. This is created & shared in the spirit of fun. This is what I listen to & I'm glad that a few others seem to enjoy what I find to be listenable. If I can find another 24 tracks, then I'll be back.
Godbless the person to take on "Musica Popular Brasileira". It is one awesome songbook. I'm giving it my my best effort.

P.S. I dedicate this volume to my two favorite blogs over the past few years, Abracadabra LP's do Brasil & Toque Musical.
My favorite track on this volume is track 12 "Aliás" by Ismael Silva with it's very crisp hi-hat work, so listen for that element. Also, track 3 "Choro Chorao" by Ademilde Fonseca is an amazing example of the Choro style. Very different & what a voice. Miss Fonseca's talent stretches 25 years before this date, so she has the power of experience in her stylings.

A post-Thanksgiving & Pre-Christmas offering for fans of this series. Happy holidays! For friends in colder climates, a little something to remember summer by.
Some really outstanding numbers here. My favs this volume are the lovely & funky "A Gente E O Mar" by Nonato E Seu Conjunto. The yummy Samba of "Tamborim" by Zé Ketti. The trancy Samba-march of Elton Medeiros performing "Sabdália Dourada" & the glorious Samba-Pop of "Rose" by Ederaldo Gentil. So many fine MPB tracks from the Jazz-pop of "Palhaçada" by the ever amazing Dóris Monteiro to the Jazz-scat of "Barendo A Porta" by Emilio Santiago to the Rock-pop of "Tamanco Malandrinho" by Tom e Dito to the groovy "Me Criei Na Beira-Mar" by Ely Arcoverde. Overall, a nice mix of the best of 70's Samba & MPB. As always, enjoy!

Also, I managed to get a 25th track on this volume. All volumes of the series will rip as a CD. OK?
My goal with this series is to make MPB a little more common to our musical language as Jazz, Rock & Roll, Reggae or the Blues. It IS as good as those forms & deserves the world's attention as a style. I'm just here to keep us focused on THAT FACT.

Please excuse the slowness of the Célia track. I just really like the quality of her voice, plus it's a nice Joyce composition. Also, I choose the Djavan track to open with because of the amazing keyboard work of Edson Frederico. He sparkles like Champagne. Enjoy!

This is my farewell to Summer post. I had promised if I could find another 24 tracks to line up that sounded good to my ears then I would post another installment of the Samba Showdowns. So here it is. This very special post goes out to Jörn from Germany. A little alagria for those gray days. 70 minutes of sunshine here.
I want to add as a person from North America, that I think that music of South America has just as much to offer in the way of a "Song Tradition" as North America and perhaps more so in certain respects!

P.S. Listen for that juicy breakdown on track 12 "O Trem" by Zuzuca. Also listen to the clarity of recording on track 15 "Baiano Não É Palhaço" by Gordurinha. This recording is from 1962 and is 10 years ahead of the curve in terms of recording excellence on the part of the RCA Victor studio. Simply amazing.
I've never heard any culture with such a gift for choral singing as Brasil. It's one of the elements that guides my song choices from volume to volume.

See the pretty cover? See the pretty cover burn the eyeball. The pretty cover is an invitation to have a nice acid guitar player burn your ass. Come in and feel the flames scorch your behind. You'll love it. This can be called Samba Funk with a Rock edge or it could be called Samba Rock with a funky edge. You decide. One thing is for sure, some of Jimi Hendrix's sweat fell on the guitar player.

P.S. I line up these RCA ones in a row to show the label sound.
This Samba Pop is on some serious A-C-I-D. A beautiful balance between softer numbers & the more "over the top" type tracks. A Masterpiece of RCA recording. Also of the two covers above, the top one fully communicates what's inside. The art director was going in the right direction with those hot pinks & orange just searing the eye and transmitting the inner content of the sounds contain within the sleave.
Additionally, I hear this one is to see a proper vinyl re-issue by Mr. Bongo U.K., so look for that.

Continuing my look at the "RCA" sound. Boy, whoever was doing the engineering over there on the boards, really knew his stuff. Amazingly recorded & beautifully performed by Manoel Conceição. This session has real MAGIC. Very short at 28 minutes, but what a 28 minutes they are. Perfect. A real jewel in the crown of the RCA sound. I adore this little record. 5 stars!

This is the kind of record that I am proud to present. This one goes out to my buddies who dig a full on Samba set. Cuica in abundance here! A fine cast of support from Rosinha De Valença, Rildo Hora & Manoel Conceição on Guitars. Mané do Cavaco on cavaquinho & that must be Zeca da Cuica on the Cuica...ha ha.
Your good buddy "J" didn't just double check this one, but triple checked it. This may be my favorite LP by Martinho.
Enjoy! Nah, SUPER ENJOY!

Jorginho do Império - Eu E Meu Pandeiro [1976 Polydor] 320 kbps - 102 mb
Where do we start this post? First, this page has a new contributor. This AMAZING share comes to us from our dear friend of this "Samba Hot Spot", DJ Moos of Holland.
Moos, If this was baseball, then this is a HOMERUN! I'll grade it this way. This is basically a flawless transition from the preceding set "Viagem Encantada" from 1975 & equallly as perfect. No wrong moves on this session. This Samba-Line doesn't let up for the duration of its 38 minutes. For Samba-Heads, this IS heaven. This so fits in with the unfolding energies of spring. A mighty celebration of voice, Pandeiro & much, much more. A real treat.
Thank you Moos. You rock! This redefines a "Dutch Treat".
Not only is this record the "Bomb", it's the "Balm" too.
PURE JOY! Make lively Y'all.

Jaime Alem & Nair Candia - Jaime & Nair [1974 CID] 320 kbps - 84 mb
For a tiny little label, CID seems to have its share of winners and this is certainly one them! From the first track, with its very crisp percussion work by Wilson Das Neves, we are off to a really nice start. Nair has a heavenly, heavenly voice, as does Jaime. Production is outstanding!
The sound here is more rural then urban. One can really hear those rustic influences on "Nigua-Ninhas E Coco Do Norte" and the track "Sabia, Diga La", which is almost a country-funk track ... BIZARRE! Spins well. A charming little record.

João Só - João Só, Na Multidão [1971 Odeon] 320 kbps - 65 mb (Reup)
The heavens were shining upon our guide of this page Greg when he found this lovely LP. Excellent example of that early 70's Odeon sound. I doubt this recording ever saw a reissue & if there were to be one, it would be the Japanese who would most likely issue it. I would also guess that João Só had one shot at a recording date with a studio of this stature & boy did the Odeon studios hook him up. A stunning example of early 70's MPB. Samba-Pop doesn't get any better then this. Heavenly!
I adore this recording!

Nelson Cavaquinho - Nelson Cavaquinho [1973 Odeon] 320 kbps - 76 mb (Reup)
A big "Thank You" to Loronix blogspot for this post & this share. I choose to give this very special Samba LP a little extra exposure because I'd rather not see a gem like this get lost in the shuffle. Great Year. Great Artist. Great Label. Spins beautifully & has outstanding production. Nelson Cavaquinho is in peak form & the Odeon studio is right there to see that all goes well in the recording of this session. Very, very strong guitar work here, cuica too & the choral work is quite heavenly as well. I would safely call this a masterpiece of the Samba form. One that Samba lovers should enjoy having in their collection. Enjoy & thank you Zeca for this mighty post & gracious share. Much love.
File Under: Samba
P.S. I could spin a record like this 2 or 3 times in a row it's so enjoyable! The studios have finally figured out how to record this music to best effect at this time. Just listen to how the Samba Bass Drum & Cuica are placed in the sound. We are listening to not just beautiful composition here, but the art of where to place the microphones for the best sound. The form is hitting a peak & this is one of its triumphs!
For my continued look at the Odeon sound!

Edu Lobo - Sergio Mendes Presents Edu Lobo [1970 A&M] 256 kbps - 63 mb
Nice break out session recorded in the U.S. for Sergio Mendes's A&M label with songs in English & brilliant scat vocalese by this very fine singer/song-writer by the name of Edu Lobo. This would sit nicely next to any of the other song-writers of that generation, namely, Joyce, Milton Nascimento & Chico Buarque De Hollanda to name a few. This record has some very strong offerings & it also has some flaws in my opinion. Since this was recorded in 1969, I guess they were trying to sell this artist to the Beatles generation by adding "Hey Jude" to this set. Personally I think this record would have been a better document without that composition on it. I'll site Milton Nascimento's reading of "Norwegian Wood" on his Minas LP as a better example of a Beatles number handled to better effect. That said, there are some stunning examples of Brasilian songcraft here, most noteably, "Zanzibar", "Ponteio", "Even Now", "Crystal Illusions", & "Casa Forte". This is an excellent example of crossover Brasilian Folk-Pop circa 1970.
The real plus here besides Edo's fine voice & guitar is Hermeto Pascoal on piano & flute duties, so please listen for his work here.
As I say, I think this record is slightly flawed in terms of pacing in that it loses pace around track 8, but besides that this record more then makes up for that by being an outstanding specimen of Brasilian Folk-Jazz. Enjoy!
File Under: MPB/ Brasilian Folk-Jazz
P.S. Friends of this page who are super enjoying this movement of MPB & crossover Brasilian songwriting in general will place this record nicely next to Luiz Henrique's "Barra Limpa" [1967 Verve U.S.] or Marcos Valle's "Samba '68" also on the Verve U.S. imprint.
One last thing, Edu has a very talented wife by the name of Wanda Sá whose LP "Vagamente" [1964 RGE] is a yummy slice of Bossa Nova MPB & I think I'll post it for context. OK?

A super lovely mid-70's Lp of Sambas by Adoniran Barbosa. This is his second Lp for the Odeon label. This one is very out of print & was shared with me via a SLSK buddy. I had posted the first one last year & if this is enjoyed, then I'll gladly repost that one. OK? Only 29 minutes of music here, so you're sure to not be bored by this set. Enjoy this amazing recording of deep Sambas. Very, very nice & a solid listen. Don't forget to roll that "R" when you say Barrrrrbosa...ha, ha.

Adoniran Barbosa - Adoniran Barbosa [1974 Odeon] 320 kbps - 77 mb
Greetings & a happy New Year since this is my first post of the new year. I'll pick up where I left off with my last post. Here is the 1974 Odeon set from Adoniran Barbosa which pairs perfectly with the '75 LP. This is listed as one of the essential MPB/Samba albums on the Luiz Americo tribute page on my sidebar. A really wonderful record & all compositions are penned by Adoniran. Spins beautifully & this is truly a great Samba album from a great era. This is my first contact with this artist & I must admit that I actually like the 1975 a little more but, this record is equally superb. As always, enjoy!
File Under: Samba
P.S. Another thing to consider here is that most of this artist compositions go back as early as 20 years before this session. So the bulk of this album is a reworking of this fantastic composers body of songs filtered through the lens of song-craft of 70's engineering & arranging. Bravo for this!

Another pick from the essential list of Luiz Americo on my sidebar. Only 7 tracks here, but what a 7 they are. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. So much to enjoy here. From the choral work, to the cuica playing to the overall groove laid down by Candeia & group. Great on all levels. Spins amazingly! A real treat! Get this!

P.S. I hate to compare apples to oranges, but this artist has an almost trancy type of deep soul vibe that I associate with an artist like James Brown. Candeia has amazing charisma & all fall under his magical spell on this session.

Friends of this page will know that I'm a big fan of the RCA Victor label during the 70's. This is another lovely example of that studio sound. Ismael Silva recorded very few albums, so that makes this all the more special. Sorry about the smaller size on this, but it was shared with me via a SLSK buddy. Please listen to the wonderful warmth of production on this very fine Samba LP. Ismael got a great voice & excellent guitar style. Sweet choral & cuica work here too. Very fleshed out production. A great artist.

Very, very nice & super rare too. Get this.

Also, this LP is a step in right direction for the song-writing team of Erasmo & Roberto Carlos. The follow up "Sonhos e Memorias 1941-1972" [1972 Polydor] is a fuller realization of their talents with every song being penned by this team.

Baiano E Os Novos Caetanos - Baiano E Os Novos Caetano [1974 CID & 1975 Som Livre] 320 kbps - 144 mb
Hey Everybody. So sorry for the lack of posts of recent days. Super busy with other creative projects. I bounce back with a lovely double dip. These are so welcomed by any fans of Arnaud Rodrigues or Azumbuja & CIA. Arnaud & crew deliver two breathtakingly funky Samba sets before a live audience. The vibe is superb between audience & band. I like the first of the two more, but equally enjoy both. I hope you find the play here ever so much fun? Enjoy!
File Under: Samba
P.S. I want to say that the main focus of this page is to look at key LP's of the 70's in Brasil. These 2 are classy examples of "Live Recording". Who ever was the engineer for these recordings really knew how to mic & mix that board. I find the fact that these are recorded before a live audience to be simply amazing examples of the art of recording!
Also, on the surface these projects are to poke fun at the early 70's musical landscape of Brasil but turn out to be something much more then that. There's some great groovin' on these sets.

Luiz Bonfá - Plays And Sings Bossa Nova [1962 Verve] 320 kbps - 133 mb (Reup)
If I were going to suggest one LP by this guitar master it would have to be this masterpiece of Bossa Nova Jazz. Why? Just for his flawless reading of his very own composition "Manhã de Carnaval" would be reason alone to hear this recording. Since this session dates from 1962, then this is truly one the breakout sets for the Verve U.S. label. Not one bad track here & one that your sure to come back to again & again. A very great outing for Bonfá & the Verve imprint. Super warm & great playing by all involved. Get this!

Dominguinhos - Domingo Menino Dominguinhos [1976 Philips] 320 kbps - 80 mb (Re-post)
Saturdays are usually reserved for Samba, but today we go Forró. I had posted this one before, but alas I did not properly endorse this one. Let me rectify that by giving this one a big J Thyme hug & taking us a little more deeply into this Rolls Royce of the Forró set.
This record is in a class all by itself. What we have here is a level of production not usually afforded to this rustic form.
Philips rolls out the red carpet for the mighty Dominguinhos on this session. From the first toots of Dominguinhos honey toned accordian & the super crisp percussion work, by I would imagine, Wilson Das Neves whose tones are so clear & the perfect counterpoint to Dominguinhos sweet, sweet melodic stylings. This is a very sneaky one. It is somewhat a "fusion" record & to make matters more exotic, I would call a recording like this "Electric Forró" or even better "Disco-fied Forró". This set is actually on the bizarre side & if anyone knows the Polka form, then please offer me a Polka set that can go "Toe-To-Toe" with this Champagne PUNCH. Since this very fine recording is from 1976, I'll place this firmly in the "Disco" era & I'm sure any DJ with a brain in his head was dropping this magnificent slab of wax on unsuspecting listeners.
Thank you Greg for this super lovely share. Only a GENIUS could introduce me to such a beautiful recording. That's you Greg!
I hope I've done this masterwork of the Forró form a little justice?
Enjoy! This is joy with whipped cream on top!
File Under: Forró
P.S. If anyone has proper scans of the back & front of this LP, please share them with me.
Hey Baby, don't sleep on this wicked slice of Disco!
Country fried Disco!
Also, not only is this recording oozing with fidelity, but Dominguinhos mastery of this form & his instrument are mind-bogglingly brilliant.
God bless the Philips studios for giving this artist the big chance to shine.

Luiz Gonzaga Jr. - Plano De Vôo [1975 EMI] 256 kbps - 74 mb (Reup)
Excellent example of mid 70's Brasilian Folk-Jazz of the Singer-Songwriter variety. This one has a beautiful Electric Jazz finish framing his inspired Folk style. The sound could be described as "Fusion". The playing here is very fleshed out by all players involved & perfectly laid to tape by the engineers over at EMI Odeon studios. Luiz Gonzaga Jr. really shines on this set & mid 70's in Brasil is such a "No Brainer" as far as quality is concerned. This one tops out at 40 minutes, but it manages to stay focused for the whole of the length. Very solid & a completely engaging listen. I love this recording. Flawless & very inspired songwriting here. When it comes to "It". This one has it! Enjoy!

Téca & Ricardo - Cade O Povo [1976 Movieplay/Dare Dare] France - 320 kbps - 81 mb (Reup)
This post is for my friends who dig A BEAUTIULLY RECORDED ELECTRIC SESSION. Super amazing set recorded in France by two Brasilian expatriates with a yummy Electric Bass & Keyboard sound fused to Brasil Folk with a nice, soft psych edge. Fans of Joyce & Milton Nascimento will marvel at this. Beautifully composed, performed & recorded. This is a very fine Brasilian Folk record with a lovely electric Jazz finish & would sit nicely next to my other post "Jaime & Nair" or "Burnier & Cartier" for that duo sound. Outstanding Guitars, Bass work & Keys & Nana Vasconcelos really shines here on percussion duties & did I mention the exceptional voice of Téca & Ricardo. Quite Heavenly. EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL & HIGHLY ACCESSABLE! A flawless 37 minute MASTER-WORK. This LP soars like an Eagle. Enjoy!

Teca & Ricardo:
This duo was formed by Teca Calazans and Ricardo Vilas in France, where they lived from 1969 to 1979; they recorded seven albums. Active from 1971 to 1981, the duo performed in several European countries, divulging Brazilian popular and folkloric musics. Jardin Exotique (1979) included Cartola's "Tive Sim" with the participation of the composer. In the same year, they returned to Brazil where they still recorded two albums.
Their most important songs were "Caicó" (Villa-Lobos/Calazans/Milton Nascimento), "Estrela da Canção" (Villas), "Coco Verde" (Calazans/Villas), "Aguaceiro" (Calazans/Villas), and "Povo Daqui" (Calazans). ~ Alvaro Neder, All Music Guide

P.S. The record's a total sleeper & those who enjoy a nicely aged wine will know when I make such a reference that I mean it.
Oh, & I forgot to add, this record rocks the fuck out!
Just give this one a few spins & you'll fall in love with it. OK?
This one benefits with the distance of time. Time was very kind to this session!
One final note. Nana Vasconcelos work on this album is in perfect CONTEXT. His style finds the ideal setting for his voice to be heard properly!

Gracinha Leporace - Gracinha Leporace [1968 Philips] 256 kbps - 57 mb
Lovely little 28 minute set for the Philips label by the very pretty voice of Gracinha Leporace. Just a light, breezy disc that represents the late 60's Brasilian sound so well. I post this more to highlight this singers work since she recorded on so many fine sessions.
Wikipedia says:
Gracinha Leporace is the wife of notable Bossa Nova musician Sérgio Mendes. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Before becoming a member of Brasil '77, she was the lead singer in a Bossa Nova group called Bossa Rio. She is the second wife of Sérgio Mendes. She was a member of his Brasil '77 line-up and sings backup vocals and occasional lead vocals on his songs.
She can be heard on all of these LP's to very good effect. I love the Grupo Manifesto Nº2 especially!
She can also be heard on this amazing session. "Raizes" or its U.S. title "Primal Roots" for A&M in 1972.
File Under: MPB
P.S. Any of the above can be found @ Loronix. I only present this post to show some of the various projects that this beautiful voice was involved with.

Sprint, Verizon Come to Qualcomm's Defense
Article Comments 47
Mar 22, 2007, 12:55 PM by (staff)
Sprint and Verizon have petitioned the International Trade Commission (ITC) to allow the continued sale of phones with Qualcomm chips in the US. The petition was presented at an ITC hearing in response to Broadcom's attempt to ban Qualcomm from importing specific chips that infringe on a Broadcom patent concerning power management. Sprint and Verizon contend that any ban would have severe repercussions for their respective businesses and would ultimately hurt consumer choice by disrupting competition for wireless broadband subscribers. The hearing is being held to determine possible outcomes for the case.
Samsung Cleared In Nvidia Patent Case
Samsung is not infringing on patents held by Nvidia, says the U.S. International Trade Commission.
ITC Says Nvidia Infringed Samsung Patents
A judge at the U.S. International Trade Commission found Nvidia guilty of infringing three patents owned by Samsung.
Qualcomm Runs Afoul of EU Antitrust Monitors
Antitrust regulators from the European Union have filed two complaints against Qualcomm, alleging the chip-provider used its might to smite competitors. The first complaint suggests Qualcomm paid an unnamed customer to use its chips exclusively.
Microsoft Loses Patent Case to InterDigital
The International Trade Commission today ruled Microsoft improperly used two InterDigital wireless patents without permission. The ruling judge said "it would not be against the public interest to ban the Microsoft [phones] from import into the United States." Patent-related complaints are often taken to the ITC, which has the power to enact such bans.
EU Initiates Two Antitrust Investigations Against Qualcomm
The European Commission has opened two separate investigations into Qualcomm's business practices to determine if the chipmaker is violating antitrust regulations. The first investigation is targeting Qualcomm's alleged offer of financial incentives to companies that ordered chips only from Qualcomm.
The end of CDMA?
***If this petition gets denied***
I guess Sprint and Verizon now have to switch their networks to GSM That's what they get for continuing to devote to a technology that will never be as widely available as GSM.
what do you expect... CDMA = Qualcomm = VZW + Sprint
Its not like they're using TI or Nokia chips
Give Broadcom the finger and switch to GSM? I...

- Jan 16, 2000Dear Charles,
Your points taken. All I meant was that poetry gives us an opportunity to express ideas in a way that is in not expressible through prose. If it were, there would be nothing special about poetry. I have read a bit of William Blake, and I find that he seems to have the genius to express extremely abstract concepts in simple form. To describe what he describes through prose would probably need 10 pages for a one page poem, and that too as only an approximation to the original truth.
If this is not transcendence, subtlety and abstraction, I don't know what is.
OOPS, no, no, Charles, I don't mean to impose at all, I just reacted reflexively in defense of a dying art form.
Regards and apologies

Look out for these ingredients when purchasing oral care products
1. Fluoride
The fluoride debate is very heated. Here are the two sides: fluoride is proven to prevent tooth decay but it is also highly toxic. I will never take away your choice to make an informed decision about choosing fluoride or fluoride-free toothpaste but this information is worth noting.
2. Tin
It's found in one of the three kinds of recognized fluorides under the name stannous fluoride. Tin is toxic and if you choose to not go fluoride-free you should consider picking one of the other, non-tin fluorides, like sodium monofluorophosphate, which is less toxic.
3. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)
Otherwise known as SLS, is another commonly added ingredient in commercial oral health products, as well as most natural toothpastes. There is a wealth of evidence about its toxicity. It has been linked to cell degeneration and ulcers. SLS is used in toothpaste to create the foaming effect. However, it does not provide a benefit for oral health when the ingredient is included in toothpaste. In fact, SLS is commonly found in insecticides such as those used for fruit flies! It has been known to be an irritant in humans, and ongoing research is investigating whether it may be carcinogenic.
4. Artificial sweeteners and dyes
It seems pretty intuitive that if you don't consume these in your food and drink than why would you use these on your teeth! Many toothpastes contain artificial sweeteners and colors to make them taste and look better. Other countries have banned unsafe sweeteners (sachharin) and dyes (Blue 1 and 2). Better to steer clear away from unnaturally sweet and colorful toothpaste.
5. Triclosan
Triclosan has been used as a pesticide, that acts to slow or stop the growth of bacteria and the FDA has demonstrated that in animal studies. It has been found to disrupt hormones. Proper brushing and flossing can prevent the growth of bacteria which causes gingivitis so opting to use products without this possibly toxic ingredient should be considered.

New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) After a gap of three years, Delhiites will get to see the works of veteran artist Akbar Padamsee, considered a pioneer of modern Indian painting, at the Triveni Gallery from October 26 to November 11.
The exhibition, titled "A Life Less Ordinary", will showcase 20 lithographs done between 2008 and 2010, depicting Padamsee's long-standing preoccupation with figures, especially heads.
Priyank Jain, Director, Dhoomimal.com, who is bringing the works to Delhi, said: "Padamsee's works have a lot of soul; his human faces tend to capture the gamut of suffering and exaltation. His almond, slit, or blank socket eyes rarely connect with the viewer, creating what the artist himself describes as a 'look' – an expression of disembodiment. From pensive, dense, intense, droopy or distressed, Padamsee's Heads are as if a presence to be lived with each new day."
Lithography is an intricate medium using the mutual repulsion of oil and water to create works of art. The image is drawn on the surface of the print plate with a fat or oil-based medium and then pulled under a press to print the desired image.
"This show depicts my long time preoccupation with figures, especially heads. It seems to me that it is not possible to ever exhaust all possibilities of imaging the human head each similar and yet so dissimilar to the other. My ardent search is for a look, a gaze, an expression, a stance, a placement," said the Mumbai-based Padamsee.
Recovering from a fall in 2014, when he injured his hip, Padasmee said the injury never deterred him from wielding the brush. "In the last few months, the recovery has been good and I have been painting continuously – I have done oil paintings and drawings, even some photography. In fact, (Mumbai's) Priyasri Art Gallery is showing my solo of very large drawings – some 50-60 of them – towards the end of this year," Padamsee said.
Even though Padamsee is now mostly wheelchair-bound, he never sits and paints. He works while standing and it is this same spirit that he reveals when he shares that he admires much of the contemporary art work that is happening now.
"I am not a cynical person. I think there is much strength in the current art scene. Every decade has its own flavour and I believe the future of Indian art is very bright. I am myself very comfortable with technology and can easily work with photoshop (and the like). So, I feel, younger artists who are working with video art and new media are doing great work," said the master painter.
While senior artists whose works he likes are Jogen Chowdhury, Sudhir Patwardhan and Atul Dodiya, among the younger lot he is fond of Subodh Gupta, Jitish Kallat and Bharti Kher's works.
"In fact, I got a chance to see Subodh and Bharti's work at the Kiran Nadar Museum about four years ago and I liked a lot of other younger artists' works there," Padamsee said.
