The present show at Regen Projects, LA - Energetic Accumulators and Token Exchanges – continues to adapt furniture to precise tasks of day to day living; in this case mainly desk spaces for stacking small, miscellaneous items, in satisfying arrangements. Of course, the artist's tasks seem mainly the adaptation of her day to day surroundings, giving the project a certain circular logic, but her concerns are really hypothetical rather than practical.
Zittel's work is often comic, exaggerating the reductive functions supposed by domestic design, the life confined to such minimal terms, simple needs and rigid organisation. An intense conformity is partly the point. The absurd dictates of 'form follows function' or 'a machine for living' results only in life becoming more formalised, more machine-like. But beyond her demonstrations of simple (self) construction from inexpensive materials, there is also a strangely alienated, behaviouristic view of life, a need to define activities so concretely, in terms of objects to hand, for lack of any larger – especially interactive or interpersonal – ambit. It is design that fusses over the details to domestic order to allay more central concerns; that plays at a self-containment and isolation there rather than work at more testing circumstances. It is design for the person without purpose.
Alternatively, the work allows such items to be taken on sculptural or formal terms, as an arrangement of materials, irrespective of function, and to demonstrate underlying links between fine and applied art, to urge a broader definition of 'function'. Zittel is one of a number of artists, including Carsten Höller, Jorge Pardo, Tobias Rehberger (see also Post 8) and Franz West, that use furniture, fixtures and architectural features to broaden sculpture thus, to anchor installation to explicit design issues.
Such work relies less upon judicious display of found items – the 'ready-made' – than on commissioned fabrication – as the 'readily-made' and in this participates in a wider trend (see also Posts 25 and 49). However for Zittel, fabrication is mostly concerned with simplified and D-I-Y steps, modest and common materials, so this aspect is less pronounced than for example in a Koons or Rehberger. Furthermore, the design is sometimes so general that its realisation takes on more of a collaboration with particular builders, whom Zittel duly credits. This gives the work a less certain trajectory, undercuts the crucial distinction between design and function and means that it is not always clear in what sense the work stands as a model – how literal or hypothetical its application might be.
Her early work presented schemes for mating pigeons, as both elegant wooden abstraction – in particular recalling the Minimalist modules of Donald Judd – and practical models for avian breeding. The stark contrast between dedicated function and formal beauty is part of a steady challenge to formal properties in sculpture, following Minimalism. 'Materials' then gradually include uses and methods – 'maximise' properties – while abstraction subtly inherits connotations of authority and control. But it is when Zittel exchanges birds for humans, switches from breeding to isolating specimens, that her work gains greater complexity. As noted, the concentration on the individual and the isolation of (usually) her needs, takes on a whimsical quality as activities are arbitrarily assigned cubicles, costumes, localities and furnishings. Zittel's work ranges from painting and prints to sculptures, installations, with lighting fixtures, storage units, carpet and shelving, demonstrating the phases to planning, promotion and merchandising, inevitably including a website.
The emphasis upon self-containment reaches its peak in Prototype for a Pocket Property (1999) literally a small island built for one, from concrete, apparently free-floating and located somewhere off the coast of Denmark. Typically the model is, in some respects, literally a small island, in others no more than a pretence or metaphor for profound withdrawal or abandon. A later project in the high desert of California provides a permanent location for equally remote or far-fetched abodes. It too has a website.
But increasingly, Zittel's attention seems to lie with the association or combination of possessions, with fundamental questions of affinities and categories. Her Prototype for a Billboard (2005) confidently announces their crucial yet illusory role. Significantly, the billboard features a pair of birds, held in disembodied hands, beside barren bushes, the lower portions of which are left unpainted, along with a square – presumably for text – to the left of the birds. The unpainted timber may be part of the design, may simply be that for which the artist as yet can find no plan or category, may be illusion or 'the way the world works' in spite of all plans. Either way, the artist finally does not hold with certainty of function.

The Rosen Gallery website has very recently removed enlargements of the reproductions placed in their modest slide shows along the top of each artist's page, making it difficult to link to particular works, even more difficult to read the text in particular, to Zittel's Prototype for a Billboard (2005) discussed above.
The three blocks of text – placed upon dark brown backgrounds read -

These things I know for sure.

#1 It is a human trait to want to organize things into categories.
(bottom, right)
Inventing categories creates an illusion that there is an overriding rationale in the way that the world works.
To zoom in on the jpeg provided in the slide show only reveals a lack of focus. It is difficult to see how this economy improves the appreciation of the artist's work, or shows any more respect for its presentation by the gallery.

Thanks for the feedback JDB. But now I'm wondering was she a yawn before you read my post, only after it, or both?
If both, you're obviously a glutton for punishment, or I'm flattered by your attention. If only after, you might suggest what I've missed in her work?
Also, do you think she looks like a younger Shelley Duvall?

I think she is a cult leader
I hate LA conceptualism and the whole Jorge Pardo/Pae White Design in the artworld scam, so I'm probably not in the general artworld ponzi scheme reality tunnel
it's like Target with pretension
fucking gross
society would change for the better if this whole Duchampian cancer were excised from the cannon

The desert retreat deal is VERY like a cult base. Her talk of 'we' on her websites, also has an implied and suspect royalty. It's all pretty coy - like her work. I'm suspicious of that side myself.
I like 'Target with pretension' - maybe 'Target with condescension' - hits home as well. But Target before Rodeo Drive most definitely.
People always target poor old Duchamp, I think a little unfairly. Picasso started it with his version of collage, switching over from 2-D to 3-D and back in the twinkling of an eye. All Duchamp did was show what it could do without the 2-D anchor.
Because Duchamp was anti-painting after a short while, people always think his 3-D stuff is all about anti-painting too. But this is a mistake. Leave him to his folly of 'retinal' painting (a flawed reading of Impressionism really). 3-D stuff is 3-D stuff. Is inverting a urinal another way of appreciating abstract shapes/finish/industrial design? It goes to the heart of what sculptural abstraction is, really. Is abstraction a cancer on the canon as well?
That seems a bit drastic. Painting can co-exist with 3-D stuff, always has. The figurative plainly co-exists with abstraction. The Zit is welcome to her bit. But I think we know it's just deserts.

I think my beef with Duchamp is the idea of "disengagement"...in other words the art is never materially present, but has been sequestered into some theoretical palace and walled in with language and syntax. We are meant to experience Duchampian work as an intellectual exercise, this is an interesting practice, but it prevents human beings from actually feeling their reality. As a dominant trope in the artworld, the de-materialization of art only serves to deepen the divide between the felt presence of our immediate experience, and a denial and abnegation of our deepest selves. The more theoretical and immaterial art becomes, the more our spirit drifts further and further from it's own realization. Witness the schizophrenia of the 21st century. The earth is on fire but we can hardly rouse ourselves to look at the thermostat. I lay blame at the feet of Conceptualism, which has made art into an academic exercise and purged from it the visceral connection to our Anima Mundi. In the coming years, the fallout from our collective decision to become passive nihilists will be made real and we will feel whether we like it or not. To conceptualists, the shock may be jarring, and probably too much. Dommage.

Yours is certainly the prevailing view on Duchamp and Conceptualism. I see them differently. I don't accept that Duchamp's work is about ideas at the expense of objects, or immaterial. I don't accept that Conceptualism is either. For my view of Conceptualism see Post 33 (on Sol LeWitt - see side list/link to the blog).
Duchamp takes 'ready-made' objects, but he's actually very careful about which kinds of objects he takes, about how he re-presents them. It's never a question of 'anything can be art just because I say so'. It's not about a general idea of presentation, it's very specific, very personal. It's mostly about appreciating certain manufactured goods, literally from a different angle, or context. It's really not so different from Picasso's approach to collage – which is where it comes from. It may look easy, may almost go unnoticed, but that's actually where the tease or provocation is – not so different from Expressionism or Abstraction in that respect. In the case of Etant Donnés it's of a very strict and deliberate point of view, of variously theatrical props.
So I don't see anything exclusively intellectual or non-sensual about his work – I don't actually think it's the overwhelming influence on Conceptualism that is generally allowed. Part of the problem is Duchamp's own statements – as with his dismissal of 'retinal' painting, - based on a flawed knowledge of how closely the eye and brain are related – are just wrong and when not, often misleading. I don't think he's necessarily the best judge of what he does.
I'm not a big fan of intention determining meaning, obviously.
I agree there's a lot wrong with the artworld – but I don't blame the artists – I blame the world. We have bad art because we have a bad world, it's telling us how bad it is. All that sterile academic writing on art could just as easily be 19th century classics scholars arguing about some elaborate allusion to Homer or Ovid in traditional history painting – now they waffle on about Bruce Nauman or Robert Smithson – but that's not really the fault of the artists or their works. The 'academic exercise' has its own momentum and agenda and the artworld only resorts to it when it has nothing better for text.

Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make
Of hammered gold and gold enamelling
To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;
Or set upon a golden bough to sing
To lords and ladies of Byzantium
Of what is past, or passing, or to come.

Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to this – track down the quotation and mull over an interpretation – not before recognizing a recent film title as well!
Anyway I guess you're nailing your colours to the mast of some Byzantine ideal, while the rest of us prefer the devil we know.
I pick my moments and live to fight a less certain war. I'm all for poetry in leisurely pursuit, but I'll scan it for prose and cons, make my calls and keep them cute.

Our Alzheimer's Program
Cutting-Edge Research
About AZTherapies
We are an advanced clinical-stage drug development company creating the next generation of therapeutics to treat Alzheimer's disease and other neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative conditions. Our ongoing, Phase III Cognite Trial with ALZT-OP1, a combination therapy utilizing two small molecule drugs previously approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The company already has intellectual property protection (IP) protection for the platform use and actively pursuing IP protection on AD use, repurposing, dosing, combination and delivery of our novel treatment. Our in vitro, in vivo (in the APP/PS1 mouse model), and two Phase I clinical study results in normal and AD subjects support the potential efficacy of our combination therapy to combat the complex neurinflammation and neurodegeneration process associated with Alzheimer's disease. Our research shows that this therapy has the potential to halt Alzheimer's disease early in its development. The ongoing Phase III clinical trial of ALZT-OP1 the Cognite Trial in patients with symptoms of early Alzheimer's disease is being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment agreement with the FDA. Our goal is to complete this trial and be in a position to submit a New Drug Application by 2020.
Our Pipeline
We are also developing the next generation disease modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease and for other neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative conditions such as cognitive impairment resulting from stroke and Parkinson's disease. We are initiating a Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our ALZT-OP1a product candidate as an adjunct, or adjuvant, treatment in subjects with post-ischemic stroke cognitive impairment. We are also pursuing preclinical studies of M1, a reversible acetylcholine esterase inhibitor as a quality-of-life focused drug, ALZT-QoL, the ALZT-Patch for transdermal drug delivery, and our AZHALER-D single dose disposable inhaler.

Matti was featured in the Nov-Dec issue of Youth Runner Magazine but we didn't ever post his full interview here.
Here was our interview with Matti in the November-December 2016 Issue.
Matti Johannes Erickson
Age 13
School Trafalgar Middle School, Nelson B.C.
Club Kootenay Chaos Track Club
We met Matti after he won his race at the Nike Portland XC Meet in September.
YR: Describe the middle school race...the difficulties, your race strategy, did the race go as planned?
A: There were more runners than I'm use to so getting out fast and out of the masses was a priority. I did not know any of the other runners so the plan was to get in the lead group and see what the pace was. I quite often run with older runners so I am use to a faster pace than what we ran at. I tucked into fourth and with 400 or so meters to go started shifting gears. The race went pretty much as planned with a sprint to the finish.
How about the hale bales and the whoop de doos? Like or dislike?
The bales and whoop de doos were a good way to break up the race on a relatively flat course. I do hurdles on the track so am use to jumping over obstacles.
Tell us more about yourself, when did you start running and how did you get into it?
My first running race was in Trail BC when I was ten. I entered all the events and did quite well. The reason I entered the meet was because my grade three teacher, Mr. Manson, could not catch me at lunch during a game of tag. He did track in Calgary quite a few years ago and suggested I try running in competition. I ran four running races that day with the first event being the 60m hurdles. I had never done hurdles but it seemed like a fun event. I was quite nervous and felt better when the other runners looked more nervous than me. I won the race in a track record.
What is the worst racing experience you've had and how did you recover from it?
My dad took me to a track meet in Maple Ridge, which is an eight hour drive from Nelson. When I went to put my running shorts on for the first race I realized I had forgotten them. My dad took off to find a pair and returned just in time. I also ran in the Kaslo Sufferfest last year and got off course for several minutes. Not quite lost but almost. I was able to backtrack and figured out were I went wrong.
Where do you live and what is special about it.
My hometown is Nelson BC. We don't have any industry here so the air and water are very clean (I drink out of the lake). We are surrounded by mountains and trees so hill running and skiing are part of what most kids do in the area. Nelson is known as a great place to grow up and live and even a better town to visit. Nelson is one of the top ten best little towns in North America for arts and culture.
What are your PR's - Best Times in the events you run?
I run all the distances from 100m to 2000m on the track and whatever distance the cross country is. My 300m PR is 39.17, 200m hurdle is 27.11, 800m is 2:06.54, 1200m is 2:23.61. I don't try for times in cross country. Rather I run and try to win regardless of time.
(B.C. has different distances in their track meets than the U.S.)
Running can be hard, what inspires or motivates you every day?
I don't train every day but when I do run I run hard which gives me confidence in races. My dad and coach are always talking about good runners so I figure if I keep trying hard maybe one day they will be talking about me.
Who was your favorite Olympian or event from Rio?
The men's 400m was incredible. It's not very often a world record is set from the outside lane. Andre Degrase was good to watch. He is very confident and respectful.
What are your goals for XC and for Track come spring?
I would like to try to break the two minute mark in the 800m. I would also like to make the BC midget track team for the Legion nationals in Manitoba.
Who is your role model?
My Dad
Best advice your coach has given you?
Run your own race.
Any advice for other Youth Runners?
You have to have fun running or you won't enjoy it.

The official blog for TheCemeteryClub.com. Keep up with the latest in what's going on in my little cemetery world!
Monday, July 17, 2006
I am just under 7 months pregnant, and I should be happy and glowing. Instead I am cranky and sweaty. It was already 80 degrees when I woke up this morning and will be around 100 as the day goes on. In the Midwest we have this little thing most call humidity. I call it a living hell. As I write this, I am snacking on ice cubes. I think that if a person has to be this miserable (I slept snuggled up with an ice pack last night to relieve some of the heat), that person should at least be in someplace awesome--like, say, New Orleans. The high for NOLA today is going to be 90. Our high is going to be 99. I'd rather be in my favorite city eating po' boys and beignets and drinking virgin hurricanes (if they have such a thing) than in this armpit. If it's going to be this frickin' hot, I'd rather be in New Orleans.
Another thing that makes me cranky is that we had our air conditioning fixed a month or so ago, but the air can't compete with this heat. Our house hasn't cooled below 80 in more than a week. Hopefully Bill will be calling the AC guys for them to fix it. Of course, I'm sure they are more than a bit busy right now.
The third thing that makes me cranky is spammers. Evil spammers have infiltrated my website survey for TheCemeteryClub.com. So I took the sucker down, even though it's a useful tool. Silly me thought it would end all the spam. Here's how it goes. These idiots get into people's surveys and answer EVERY question with their website address. I've gotten gambling site spammers and a host of others. Let me tell you, this DOES NOT make me want to visit their sites. It makes me want to hack them (if I knew how) and destroy them. Okay, well, not really. But it does make me mad. But I thought that taking down the survey--and I mean erasing it from existence--would stop the insanity. It did not. I'm getting just as many as before. Maybe 30 a day or more. So the info must have been passed on to a list. I'm not sure how to stop it. So my mail box fills up with the worst and stupidest spam ever.
So I guess this doesn't make the most happy-go-lucky post I've made, but it's a nasty hot summer and I'm pregnant. In two days we'll be starting our 3rd trimester. Mid October will come pretty fast now.
The good news is that the 3rd issue of Epitaphs Magazine will be at the printer tomorrow. And for those who ordered copies of "Cemetery Walk," those books have come in and will be mailed today.
I hope everyone is staying cool and enjoying life. Now that I've cooled off, I'm feeling much better about things.
Later gators,

PORTLAND — E. Allen Beem Jr., 89, died Feb. 6, at Brentwood Center for Health & Rehabilitation, Yarmouth.
He was born Feb. 10, 1924, in Warren, Ohio, the first son of Edgar A. Beem and Marie Ritter Beem. The family moved to Portland when he was 12. Beem graduated from Deering High School in 1942 and Maine Maritime Academy in 1944. He served aboard U.S. Merchant Marine liberty ships in the Mediterranean and Atlantic during World War II. After the war, he attended Bowdoin College, earning a bachelor's in history in 1949. His brother, Gordon, was a member of the Class of 1950 and his granddaughter, Tess Beem, graduated in 2013.
In 1948, Beem married Betty Gibson, also of Portland. The couple raised three sons together, Ed, Paul and Dana.
During the Korean conflict, he served in the U.S. Navy aboard minesweepers in the Pacific. For many years after Korea, he worked as a salesman for Metropolitan Life Insurance. In 1966, at the age of 42, Beem returned to his first love, shipping out as an able bodied seaman on tankers. Over the next 23 years he sailed for Sun Oil, Academy Tankers, United Fruit and the Brotherhood of Marine Officers, working his way up from AB to captain, licensed to command any ship on any ocean. He retired in 1989, but he returned to sea briefly in 1990-91, following the Gulf War to help take freighters out of the U.S. mothball fleet and ferry equipment, from the Gulf to Europe.
He and his wife lived in Westbrook from 1960 until 2012 when they entered Brentwood. The family would like to thank the Brentwood staff for the compassionate care their parents received there.
Beem was a member of the Westbrook-Warren Congregational Church, American Legion and the Masonic Order.
He was predeceased by his parents; his wife, Betty; and his younger brother, Gordon R. Beem.
He is survived by his sons, Edgar A. Beem III and wife, Carolyn, of Yarmouth, Paul C. Beem and wife, Marji Harmer Beem, of South Freeport and Dana M. Beem, of Windham; sister Janet Frost; seven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
A graveside interment service will be held at Pine Grove Cemetery in Falmouth in the spring.

I am taking this class currently, and can say the lectures are a thing of beauty. Sam is a world-class teacher, and if you want to learn the ins and outs of digital painting, its well worth the money!ReplyDelete
Couldn't agree with you more, though it should be added: if you are not experienced in digital painting, better take "Fundamentals of Lighting" first, since "Lighting for Story" requires you to have at least a basic grip on things like shading, light and color interaction and shadowcasting.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Benjamin! You're totally right, I've been talking to the Schoolism guys to make that more clear on the website. As it stands right now, I'm helping a couple people through the technical problems they're running into, but it's not as good as being able to talk about the technical aspects of light and shading in depth.Delete

If you are familiar with what a CNC Milling machine is, then you will know that the CNC machines comes in a wide range of configurations and can work in more than 3 axis. Specifically, they can work in up to 5 axis.
The 3 axis
Now what most of the people ask is which one of these 5 axis are? Surely, we know what the 3 axis are i.e. X axis, Y axis, and Z axis. But what confuses most of the people are the other 2 axis that the CNC Milling machines can work on.
The 4th and 5th axis
The fourth and fifth axis that the CNC Milling machines are configured for is the rotation among the X and Y axis. Let's say that there is a mosquito in your room. You can pin point its location using the 3 axis (X, Y and Z). But if you zoom into the mosquito during its flight, you will have to count its orientation as well. In which way the mosquito is turned to. This leads to the rotation axis around X and Y axis. So the 5 axis that the CNC Milling machine can work are X, Y, Z, A rotation, B rotation.
Now one can argue that the machine can work on a 3rd axis too which would be the rotation around Z axis. That is true but including that axis doesn't bring a lot of beneficial features so usually that isn't implemented.

1. I'm taking the online Jeopardy! test on Tuesday. Really psyched about that, although the chances of EVER winding up on the show are miniscule. And if I do wind up on the show, I have to hope there are no History or Bible categories.
2. Update on the bullying situation: Met with an attorney (he is just crazy enough to be a good lawyer when he's on your side. He's a civil rights guy who once worked for Gerry Spence. I don't need to say much more than that). Not sure what exactly he can do, but he connected very well to Lucas (he, too, lost his dad at a young age) and without taking any money from us wrote to the Youth Officer at school. A few hours later I got a call saying that a mini-bus will be sent to pick up and drop off Lucas in front of our door, starting next week. Coincidence? I don't think so.
3. Make Me a Supermodel on BRAVO is a much better show than America's Next Top Model. Way edgier.
4. Our living room is currently empty. We're getting a new sofa/loveseat/chaise sectional thing on Wednesday so we gave all of our current stuff away on Freecycle.
5. I love "The Biggest Loser", but the product placement is SO obnoxious that I start to feel as though I'm in The Truman Show.
Contestant:"I'm hungry all the time."
Trainer, holding up a pack of "Extra" gum: "Well, try chewing gum. MY FAVORITE IS EXTRA, BECAUSE THE FLAVOR LASTS A LONG LONG TIME. " (ok, that's not exactly what she said but it's close)
Argh! People are not stupid about this stuff anymore. They realize that with the rampant use of TiVO and DVRs, advertisers have to find ways to enter our psyches that we can't fast-forward through.
The most disheartening moment for me recently wasn't on The Biggest Loser, though. It was on the otherwise brilliant Ugly Betty. When Betty "offhandedly" mentioned that she couldn't wait to go see "27 Dresses" (moments after an actual commercial break for the same film), I nearly reached through the screen and grabbed her by her blue braces. I don't mind seeing Carrie Bradshaw at her Apple laptop, or seeing Wisk detergent on Tony Soprano's laundry room shelf. But the fourth wall is broken for me when characters start hawking product.
6. Water at the gym should cost either one dollar or two dollars. Not $1.50, which leaves me trying to figure out where to put the change while I work out.
7. Why is my dog shedding like it's June? There are tumbleweeds everywhere in this house, and hair all over our clothes. I'm afraid I'm going to be spray-painted by PETA the next time I walk out the door. "It's not a fur coat! I swear!"
8. Note to my daughter and my liberal cousins: I want to support Obama, I really really do. I don't love Hillary. I just want to make sure we beat the Reps in November, and that the new Prez can get the job done. He hasn't convinced me yet. But there's time.
9. My lease is up early next year on my RAV4 and I'm going to lease a Prius. The 2009 will have a plug-in option, upping the MPG to over 70 (or so they are saying).
10. At the end of February, my commute to work is going from 35 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes each way... without traffic. See item #9.
11. I paid $3.59 for a gallon of gas on Tuesday. See item #9.
12. The coolest new game for the Wii is called Endless Ocean. It's a scuba-diving adventure game and it's way cool. I may never get my TV back.
13. My four Netflix DVDs at the moment are: Superbad, The Lives of Others, The Magdalene Sisters and disc one of The Tudors. What should I watch first?
14. If I read another account of how Heath Ledger's masseuse didn't call 911 first when she found him, I'll spit. When my daughter had her first seizure at 13 months old, I was so scared that I was freaking out. She had had her MMR shot the week before, and I thought she was brain damaged from the vaccine. She was in a full "tonic-clonic" seizure and it wasn't stopping. The first person I called was my friend Susan who lived a few blocks away. I asked HER to call 911 for me because I knew I was too upset to speak clearly to them. This is one of those "walk in her shoes" moments. Unfortunately she is not only having to deal with the trauma of finding her client dead, but apparently is unlicensed and getting nailed for that.
15. And while we're on the subject of Heath Ledger, I want to clobber those stupid papparazzo who are sticking their flashing cameras in the faces of Michelle Williams and little Matilda. Having dealt with what she's going through, if I had the extra bonus of being stalked by idiots with cameras when Tony died, particularly when trying to help a young child through that, I don't know what I would have done. It's good to be a nobody.

In 2006, international music officially entered the Chinese market. At the time, Universal Music started operating in China, but media circles didn't seem to have access to European and American music and were especially fragmented.
Distributors didn't particularly care for European and American music, and were instead focused on artists like Jay Chou and Super-girl, making the environment unsuitable for the development of international music.
However, the good news was that, despite a 95% piracy rate, physical record sales were still steady and performing well; that year Black Eyed Peas sold tens of thousands of records in China, and foreigners said this was a good achievement.
In 2008, 2009, and the years following, the music industry experienced a serious decline; record sales fell drastically, and digital music started replacing the traditional record as it became the primary service on the market.
In addition, despite the growing number of digital music users every day, these users didn't bring any real income to the music industry. At the same time, ringtone sales also dropped, and Internet platforms were beginning to form. However, mobile payment hadn't quite matured yet, so the Chinese business model wasn't yet suitable for international music.
The record industry's status as of late has been completely paralyzed.
2015 and 2016 ushered in a landmark era with the first legal copyright, as well as the beginnings of digital sales. Rihanna's album Anti, released in January 2016, was a milestone because of its capitalization on the global market; it's currently at 10x platinum on QQ Music, or the equivalent of 150,000 copies sold. This placed Anti at #4 on the international charts and #1 in the Asian market, including Japan.
Ariana Grande is far less popular compared to Rihanna, but that didn't stop her album Dangerous Woman from also breaking platinum sales on QQ Music within the first 48 hours, topping both QQ Music and Apple Music's China charts. This was consistent with the album's performance around the world as it topped the charts of more than 12 countries, and entering top 10 in 19 others.
Why are global synchronization and digital distribution important? These are actually the key to understanding the value of music. International distribution is necessary in the new Internet era of globalization and resource sharing.
Different album release dates in different countries often leads to rampant piracy; even worse is when a single is released when several songs have already been leaked This is very bad news for the artist.
Loyal Chinese fans of European and American music follow international charts; they follow the UK Billboard incredibly closely, and they feel that these international charts will change the Chinese music industry. So while I'm here, I want to emphasize the importance of "data sharing" and the early establishment of an authoritative, credible Chinese list platform.
In both the physical and digital age, the value of music hasn't been completely realized, so in the digital age, I'm looking forward to the actualization of the true value of music.
Right now, globally synchronized releases and digital distribution as marketing strategies are incredibly effective, more so than ever before. In the past, we only relied on our experience, but now that we have far more data, many platforms have open real-time data disclosure, and we can monitor the effectiveness of marketing and make immediate marketing and investment adjustments as they're needed, so both the output and the input are now transparent.
In the end, we don't really know the how great the potential Western music is for Chinese markets; we just have to feel it out. When Rihanna sold 150,000 copies of Anti, we were all surprised and asked, "How does she have that many fans? That's so many."
In the past few years, we've seen an unprecedented amount of activity and demand in the mainland market for Western music. I'll illustrate the potential of Western music marketing models with a couple examples. First of all, from the pop culture perspective, Western artists release a few hit singles before dropping their album, whereas Chinese artists seldom do this. Also, it's not hard to see that more and more commercials are using Western music.
Hit singles also lead to enormous amounts of play, especially with consumer groups in China, so a hit single can attract huge attention in China; for instance, Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" has 150 million plays, which is the second highest for Universal Music, and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is in second place globally.
Since streaming is free, the sales conversation rate isn't too high, but you can also say that Western audiences are willing to pay for their favorite music, as long as it's good, so if you give them the right path, they'll pay for it.
We can all see the long-term effects of the longevity of European and American record sales. Taylor Swift's 1989, released in 2014, is still selling, and has currently sold 300,000 copies in China, second only to Japan. People might say that this was just a hot album, but one great characteristic of European and American music is its diversity in styles; furthermore, alternative and indie culture attracts more and more amounts of supporters.
Thus, if platforms are willing to devote more resources to alternative culture and styles, then it will capitalize on huge business opportunities. We really feel Western culture is rooted deeply and crafted carefully.
There's been no shortage of outstanding music from the West, but in the past few years, Chinese music has produced less and less great work. I don't know if others feel this way, but as a result of this shortage in China, Western music was able to fill this absence for Chinese fans, so the next ten years will a period of rapid development for Western music in China.
When looking at consumer culture from another point of view, China is probably one of the worst performers in international music markets, with a global music revenue of $15 billion comes in 19th or 20th place, while the US, with $49 billion, accounted for one third of global music revenue, and Japan, with $26 billion, accounted for 17% of global music revenue.
While the US only has a population of 300 million, China has a population of 1.3 billion and its economy is developing rapidly. Many of its industries rank first or second in the world, so the music industry represents a great opportunity for the future.
With the arrival of the consumer era, the opening of front-end and back-end sales data, legal music platforms, the proliferation of mobile payment, and the economic status of Chinese fans, we're convinced that exceeding Japan isn't just a dream.
Obviously, we have higher goals, but as of right now, exceeding Japan is a more realistic and reliable goal. Since the Chinese market and the consumer situation with regard to Western music have great potential, we feel that as the market becomes steadily healthier, that Western artists will devote their energy towards China and grow their popularity here.

Sarah Palin lashed out at David Letterman on Friday's Today show, claiming that he owes an apology to "young women across the country" for making a lewd joke about her daughter.
"I would like to see him apologize to young women across the country for contributing to kind of that thread that is throughout our culture that makes it sound like it is OK to talk about young girls in that way, where it's kind of OK, accepted and funny to talk about statutory rape," she said. "It's not cool. It's not funny."
Check out photos of the Palin family on the campaign trail
On his show earlier this week, Letterman joked that Palin's daughter got "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York's Yankee Stadium. He later clarified that the crack was aimed at Palin's 18-year-old daughter Bristol, even though it was her 14-year-old daughter, Willow, who had been at the ball game.
Find out which other stars were teen moms
Despite Letterman's clarification, Palin wasn't happy, calling it "a degrading comment about a young woman." "No wonder young girls especially have such low self-esteem in America when we think it's funny for a so-called comedian to get away with such a remark as he did," she said. "I don't think that's acceptable."

Palin also said there was a double standard where the media treats President Barack Obama's family as generally off-limits while her family has been publicly ridiculed. She also denied that it was also in bad taste for her spokeswoman, Meghan Stapleton, to say that Palin would not appear on Letterman's show because "it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman."
"Maybe he couldn't be trusted because Willow has had enough of this type of comments and maybe Willow would want to react to him in a way that maybe would catch him off-guard," Palin said. "That's one way to interpret such a comment."
On his show Thursday, Letterman kept the Palin jokes alive. He told the audience that "everything's fine now" between him and Palin, then adding that the Alaska Gov. called and invited him to go hunting. "I'm Dave Letterman," he said, "making friends wherever I go."

While our colleagues at Lancaster and Manchester Metropolitan Universities were studying design ecology(ies) in Santa Fe, Tom attended the Making Futures conference organised by Plymouth College of Art. Set in the beautiful Mount Edgcumbe Hall, the theme of the conference was craft and the return of the maker in a post-global sustainably aware society. Tom gave a paper about Design Routes and attended more papers in the Translations Across Local Global Divides sub-theme. The conference was very well attended by an international audience. In particular a paper on craft as a cultural ecologically located practice was delivered by Patrick Dillon and there was another very interesting paper on craft in Estonia delivered by Sirpa Kokko.
Making Futures explores contemporary craft and maker movements as 'change agents' within 21st century society, particularly in relation to global sustainability agendas, social entrepreneurialism and community regeneration. Moving between the individual and the social, the personal and the collective, the conference investigates what it means to make and its future significations.

According to Indian Government the total percentage of Muslim in India is in between 11% to 12%. Since the independence of India in 1947 the percentage of Muslim in government census has remained same, i,e, 12% or less.
In an interview with a well circulated newspaper of India "The Hindu", MR. Justice K. M. Yusuf, a retired Judge from Calcutta High Court and chairman of West Bengal Minority Commission, says that in his view the total percentage of Muslims in India is at least 20 %. You can find the whole interview at the end of this article.
Another reason we believe that total percentage of Muslim in India is 20% at least, because if we notice the increase of population rate in Pakistan we will observe that after 1947 the total Muslim population in that country increased by almost 5 fold (Library of Congress). So, obviously the Muslim population in India has also increased at that rate. And it is well established fact the rate of increase in Indian Muslim community is very highest.
Below is the article:
`It's easy to exploit Muslims in the name of religion'
Rasheeda Bhagat
MR. Justice K.M. Yusuf, a retired judge of the Calcutta High Court, who has been appointed Chairman of the West Bengal Minority Commission only last week, believes that the bulk of the Muslim vote in West Bengal _ which he puts between 20 to 25 per cent _ will go to the Left Front and the Congress in the present elections.
In an interview to Business Line he said that lack of ``good leadership'' among the Muslims had resulted in their getting exploited in the name of religion vis-a-vis the battle of the ballot. Excerpts:
How do you think the Muslims of West Bengal will vote this time?
In West Bengal, the Muslims are feeling safe as far as their lives and properties are concerned. The Government is trying to protect them from communal violence, a common feature previously.
How previous would that be?
I do not want to name any political parties. But after independence we had so many devastating communal riots. But during the 22 years of the present government, we had very little of it... any communal violence was nipped in the bud.
Do you think West Bengal is one of the better States of India when it comes to communal peace?
Not only I think so, but I have heard people of great responsibility .. like the GOC of the Eastern Command... saying that compared to many of the other States, this State is much better as far as law and order is concerned. As far as the national election scenario is concerned, the Muslim wants the communal forces to be kept at bay and the secular forces to unite.
What is the percentage of Muslim vote or population in West Bengal?
I think it is certainly between 20 to 25 per cent.
That high?
Yes. When the census is done, large chunks of Muslim population are left uncounted...in the last three census exercises.
Would you agree with the point of view that the real percentage of the Muslim population in India is about 25 per cent?
There is no denial. It may be more. Anyway, it cannot be less than 20 per cent. It could be 25 per cent. I do not say like some others that it is 30 per cent. It is quite a substantial chunk.
So which way do you think the West Bengal Muslims vote?
The Muslim vote will be divided between secular forces and a small minority of the Muslim vote may go to the communal forces.
You mean the BJP-Trinamul combine?
I do not name anybody. But unfortunately there are some parties which say they are secular but siding with communal parties. So some vote might go to them also. There will be division of vote between the Left Front, the Congress and the Trinamul, but the major chunk will go to the Left and the Congress.
When the Dalits can remain united, how come the Muslim vote gets divided? Or do you think this is a good thing, that they should vote after applying their minds?
There is no leadership among the Muslims. There is no one to guide them properly on what is good for them and what is not good. And it is very easy to exploit the Muslim in the name of religion. And Muslims, as you know, are emotional people and where emotion comes...
Don't you think they are actually getting exploited by their own leaders.. maulvis and others?
This is an unfortunate development that religious leaders are indulging in politics. This is not their field of operation. The concept of politics is not what it was during Prophet Mohammed or the Caliphs' time. Then religion and politics were one, not separate. But in modern times they have been separated. At those times, the Caliph used to be the head of the state and head of the religion.
But the vote bank that the Congress made of Indian Muslims... do you think that has done any good to the community?
The political parties of India harp much on the Muslim vote bank but now I think the Muslim vote bank will generally disintegrate...
Hasn't it already started?
Yes it has... and what a particular Imam of Delhi or some Mufti of another place says, I think, will not have too much of an impact on the voters. After all, education is spreading among the Muslims. No doubt they are an emotional lot but there are elements among the Muslims who have begun to think what is good for them and what is not. The enlightened Muslims will vote after judging the condition of India, which way the wind is blowing and whether secularism should be strengthened or not and if this is not strengthened, what will be the future of India.
Do you think a percentage of the Muslim votes will go to the BJP or its allies?
Of course the BJP and allies will get some votes, but the BJP on its own will get a negligible percentage of Muslim votes. That is my reading. I may be wrong.
It is still being conceived as a communal party..
Of course the BJP is the No. 1 hero responsible for the demolition of Babri Masjid, with the RSS and allies. But no less responsible for the demolition is the Congress(I) headed by Mr. P.V. Narasimha Rao who was the then Prime Minister. He came on Doordarshan and I myself heard him saying that yeh masjid usi jagah banayi jayengi jahan thi (this mosque will be reconstructed at the same spot). What happened thereafter? He was the Prime Minister and could have stopped the demolition had he applied force.
I am not praising anybody, but it is a fact that the West Bengal Chief Minister, Mr. Jyoti Basu, talked personally and twice on that day to Mr. Rao that I have reports that it is going to be demolished. Please take action. But Mr. Rao kept saying.. Well, I am thinking.. I am looking into it. Thereafter, the Chief Minister was desperate and indignant. And, thereafter, the demolition started.
What are the main issues plaguing the Muslims of Bengal?
It is said that employment has not been given to the Muslims. But unemployment is a problem of the entire population of West Bengal and not a problem of only Muslims.
But do you find any discrimination?
Where recruitment is concerned, you can have the most secular leader at the top and there is no doubt that there is no person more secular than Mr. Basu today. But the moment you go down the strata, people are not the same. I was heading several offices, but I myself could not get co-operation from the lower staff. This is the difficulty. You know what happens at the employment exchanges... can the Chief Minister or his other ministers go and sit there?
But why have the Muslims remained educationally so backward?
That is a long history. If Sir Syed Ahmed Khan had not been born, it would have been much worse. For one full century, the Muslims neglected English education; poverty is another reason. Now there is a rush for English medium schools! But the problem here is that the Muslims get detached from the vernacular and the basic culture of the place, which is not good. They are neither westernised nor Indian.
What about women's rights and their representation in politics?
(Laughs loudly) First of all, tell me if we have 33 per cent of men who are fit to go to our legislatures and become MPs or MLAs.
If the unfit men are going there, let the unfit women too go there.
There will be chaos and double chaos.
So you are against reservation for women?
No, I am not against women's reservation in our legislatures. But I think that it should not be 33 per cent, but less than that.
What percentage would you recommend?
From what I have seen at our panchayat level.. the woman is there but the husband who is really guiding or dictating to her.
But she will learn..
She will undoubtedly learn but after causing a lot of damage to the country. Even Ms. Sonia Gandhi is learning but at what cost. (Laughs again). Now she has improved quite a lot. If you put a person with a law degree but no judicial experience as a judge, what will happen? He will create havoc.
Even among women's reservation do you think there should be a reservation for Muslims, the backward classes, etc. as Mr. Mulayam Yadav has been saying?
On this issue, I have no comments.
The RSS and the Sangh Parivar have been saying that Muslims have not integrated themselves into the mainstream of Indian life. Your comments.
If you say that if you are an Indian that means you are a Hindu and that you will have to accept Indian culture which means Hindu culture, I totally disagree. There is no Indian culture which is not the amalgamation of different cultures. So you can't say Hindu culture is Indian culture. India has Bengali culture, UP culture, Bihari culture, Assamese culture, etc. It is a big garden with a variety of flowers.
Do you think the BJP will raise the uniform civil code issue again, after some time?
It cannot now, because of the allies. But it is certainly there in their agenda and their leaders say it.
But are you against uniform civil code?
Yes, because it is not possible to implement it in India. The laws of Islam and the Hindu law are totally different. Take adoption for instance.. there was much hue and cry that the adoption Bill should be passed and made into law. At a seminar where I was a solitary Muslim speaker, I said I am ready to accept adoption. But you are a Brahmin; will you accept a Muslim as your son? There was total silence, as in a graveyard. Nobody got up to even make a false claim that yes, I will accept a Muslim as my son. So what adoption are you talking about?
From The Hindu ( Friday, October 01, 1999 )

|The Rubinoos:
Party of Two Label: Wounded Bird
Released: 1983
The Rubinoos are a band that's had its share of career ups and downs, but, at the very least, you can't say the group's life hasn't been an adventure.
First, they made it into the Billboard Top 100 in the late '70s with their cover of "I Think We're Alone Now," then followed it up by writing and recording one of the definitive power pop songs of all time: "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend." The '80s brought a Warner Brothers record deal (with Todd Rundgren sitting behind the console, no less), as well as the opportunity to provide the theme song for one of the defining comedies of the decade: "Revenge of the Nerds." And while the '90s and beyond may not have resulted in tremendous commercial success for the Rubinoos, the band continues to maintain a strong fanbase both in North America and in Japan, in no small part because of studio albums like 1998's Paleophonic and 2005's Twist Pop Sin. Hey, even 2002's covers album, Crimes Against Music, had its moments!
For the moment, however, let's focus on the band's experience with Mr. Rundgren.
The Party of Two EP emerged in 1983 as the first – and, as it turned out, last – fruits of the Rubinoos' deal with Warner Brothers. Whether that was because it didn't live up to the label's sales expectations or because the band chose to dissolve of their own accord, we don't know, though, as of this writing, we're waiting for an answer, and we presume we'll be able to add a post-script sooner than later. (Thank God for MySpace; it makes artists so much more approachable.) In the meantime, we're presuming that it was more the latter than the former, since the mini-LP – that's what they called it back then – scored some pretty solid airplay with its single, "If I Had You Back." Although that particular song has turned up on a collection of Rundgren's best productions, Party of Two has never managed to score release on CD; fortunately, Wounded Bird Records has finally remedied that situation, even going to so far as to tack on an additional six songs, bringing the grand total to 11 tracks.
"If I Had You Back" is a great pop song, if one which comes off as slightly dated; the track opens with a brief bit of heavy metal guitar shredding, but it's otherwise driven by the slightly-cheesy keyboard sound that was de rigueur for most hit singles during the '80s. Still, the harmonies are spot-on – that would've been a given for the Rubinoos, anyway, but Rundgren's presence meant it was required by law – and the chorus made it an instant classic, particularly with its unexpectedly dark lead-in lines, "Maybe it's a nightmare / Or maybe I'm in Hell." "Faded Dream," unfortunately, hasn't aged as well; it sounds programmed from start to finish, floating by without leaving much of a mark. Conversely, "The Girl" is as catchy and bouncy as '80s keyboard pop gets, with a hook that's with you for the long haul. The last two original tracks, "Crash Landing" and "The Magic's Back," are a hit and an almost-miss; the former is a sweeping, mournful ballad, while the latter that narrowly coasts by on the charm of the harmonies in its chorus.
Ultimately, the most telling thing about the Rundgren sessions is the fact that, over the years, the Rubinoos have let slip the original demos for several of the songs that Todd put his indelible stamp upon, and, frankly, they sound better than the final versions…or, perhaps more specifically, they sound more like the Rubinoos. This couldn't have come as too much of a shock to the band, though; after all, Rundgren was notorious for taking artists and basically making them sound like him. (Bringing along the other three members of Utopia – Roger Powell, Kasim Sulton, and Willie Wilcox – can't have helped the situation any.) Three of the demos appear as bonus tracks on this reissue, and you'll find that, in particular, "The Girl" and "Crash Landing" find Rubin and Dunbar sounding far more at ease; the resulting sound of the songs would've found them fitting in much easier on the band's previous albums. In addition to the demos, we get three other tracks from the era: "Over You," "Facts of Love," and "Stop Before We Start." Of the trio, "Over You" is definitely the best of the bunch, with a vocal from Jon Rubin that would make any girl swoon, but the other two are plenty catchy and well worth hearing.
Diehards will have already accumulated most of the bonus tracks, as they can be found on various rarities compilations, but "Stop Before We Start" hasn't been previously anthologized, and, as noted, just having the original Party of Two on CD is an accomplishment in and of itself. All in all, Rubinoos fans will be quite glad to have this reissue.

The Importance of Sleep for Empaths and Sensitives
Matt's situation is all too common for those of us who are sensitive to energy. Too much interaction with other people causes energy drain in many empaths. Many of us simply cannot be around people for too long, or we will begin to become engulfed.
Finding and CLAIMING your own personal space while sleeping while in the context of a relationship is a skill that many of us are LONGING for. For some of us, the thought of being engulfed causes us to avoid relationships in the first place. For those of us who already are in loving relationships, there are some things we can do to establish boundaries, especially when it comes to sleeping arrangements.
Empaths require good quality regenerative sleep more than the average population, and yet our sleep can be fraught with problems unless we take the matter into our own hands. Many of us simply cannot handle the energy of our partner for too long. There is NOTHING wrong with that. There is NO GUILT or SHAME in knowing that. Your partner's noises and movements during the night may cause you to lose sleep, leading to less than ideal energy the next day. Furthermore, energy fields merge when you are so close to your partner, and you may be absorbing his or her energy during the night. It is for this reason that it is wise for you as an empath to make a bold decision about how you will sleep. Are you willing to sleep in the same bed with your partner? It doesn't have to be the only option. The beauty is YOU GET TO DECIDE!
It would be wonderful if you could share your TRUTH with your partner and let them know that you're a sensitive person and that includes during sleep as well. There are options. You can sleep in another separate bed in the same room, permanently sleep in an entirely different room, temporarily sleep in another room to recharge, or you can come together as a couple a few nights a week and sleep in the same bed if that would generate connection for you as a couple. There are Earthing mattress covers that ground you to the Earth's energy during sleep and many claim this has improved their sleep significantly (I know it has for me).
Experiment to see what feels right for you, and discuss your sleep with your partner regularly, to make sure you're both on the same wavelength. This will ensure that your boundaries will continue to be respected, and your healthy relationship with flourish! MOST OF ALL, KNOW THAT YOU ARE EMPOWERED FOR WHATEVER CHOICE FEELS RIGHT TO YOU! There are absolutely NO rules, only the ones you DECIDE to create for the benefit of yourself, and ultimately the benefit OF US ALL!
SMILES! Michael S.

Spouses, common–law partners, dependants and, in some cases, grown children and parents of a person who was fatally injured, are eligible for lump–sum payments under the Personal Injury Protection Plan (PIPP).
The amounts paid depend on the deceased's age, gross yearly employment income and the age(s) of the dependent children.
If there are dependent children but no spouse or common–law partner, the dependent children share the amount that otherwise would have been paid to the spouse. This amount is in addition to the payment they receive as dependants.
If there is no spouse, common–law partner or dependants, then non–dependent children and parents are eligible to receive a payment.
If there is no immediate family, no lump–sum payments would be made.
Each year on March 1, we use the Consumer Price Index to adjust lump–sum payments for inflation.
PIPP pays a lump–sum to a spouse or common–law partner. The amount paid depends on the age and income of the deceased at the time of the accident.
A spouse is: someone who was married to and living with the person at the time of the fatal injury.
A common–law partner is: someone who was living with the person in an unmarried, conjugal relationship at the time of the fatal injury AND the relationship involved any of these three circumstances:
If the deceased had been employed at the time of the accident, the payment is based on the person's gross yearly employment income and age.
To calculate the amount that a spouse or common–law partner will receive, we multiply the gross yearly employment income by a payment factor from 1 to 5. The highest payment factor of 5 applies when a person is fatally injured at age 45.
If the deceased had been unemployed at the time of the accident and would not have been entitled to income replacement benefits, the spouse or common–law partner receives the minimum lump–sum payment. Please refer to the PIPP Benefits outline for the current payment rate.
PIPP pays a dependant a lump-sum depending on the dependant's age at the time of the accident.
A dependant can be any of the following:
A disabled dependant is entitled to an additional payment.
Disabled dependants have a mental or physical disability that prevents them from being financially self–sufficient. Their disability must have existed at the time of the accident. Your case manager will discuss the ways in which this entitlement can be confirmed.
When a single parent is fatally injured, PIPP provides two payments to dependent children:
1 - the payment that would have been made to a spouse or common–law partner, if there had been one, is divided equally among the dependent children
2 - the regular payment made to a dependent child
This payment structure recognizes that dependants of a single parent could have limited financial resources and provides some additional financial support in consideration of these circumstances.
Please refer to the PIPP Benefits outline for the current payment rate.
When the deceased had no spouse, common–law partner or dependants, then non–dependent parents and non–dependent children will each receive a lump–sum payment. Please refer to the PIPP Benefits outline for the current payment rate.
If at the time of the accident the deceased's main occupation was to care for a child under 16 or a disabled adult without pay, then the new primary caregiver may be entitled to compensation under PIPP.
Your case manager is there to advise you on what information you can submit to support an entitlement to this coverage.

A Doncaster couple are down to the final six in a competition to win their perfect wedding. Lisa Blythe and Tam Elder have been shortlisted in a contest to scoop a £28,000 wedding package and honeymoon.
Lisa, a diary planner, and landscaper Tam first met in Mallorca, but Lisa had a partner at the time. They kept in contact and Tam finally won her over with a funny snapchat video.
Tam drives up to Glasgow most weekends to see his six-year-old daughter Emmie, while Lisa has a three-year-old daughter Brooke.
The 24-year-olds, from Rossington, have been together for 18 months.
Tam proposed in their bedroom to their wedding song, How Long Will I Love You.

It was an interesting day for owls. I went to see the Little Owl and couldn't find him in his usual place. But then he suddenly flew out of the sweet chestnut tree and up into the tall lime tree next to it, and disappeared into the leaves. He has used this lime tree as a perch before, last year when the pair were nesting in the sweet chestnut on the other side of it.
As I approached the Tawny Owls' nest tree there was a flurry of wings and the male owl flew from the horse chestnut on the north side into the nest tree, where he started hooting frequently and continued for several minutes. It was not clear what had disturbed him, but one of the young owls was perched just about where he had flown from, as shown in this picture.
Perhaps the young one had annoyed its father by demanding food in the daytime. Tawny Owl parents like to keep some distance from their restless young so that they can get some sleep, and often sit in an adjacent tree.
This young Blue Tit in the leaf yard was demanding food too, and getting it.
The parent kept shuttling down to my hand to pick up pine nuts which promptly disappeared into the ravenous fledgeling.
There was a family of Long-Tailed Tits in a nearby bush. This young one quietened down for a short time and spread its feathers out to sunbathe on a twig.
There were two Grey Herons in the Italian Gardens again, staring intently into the pond where they had been yesterday. I put on my Polaroid glasses, which allow one to see better into the water, and walked round the pond looking for fish, but didn't see any. However, herons are better at finding fish than humans.
As I was looking over the parapet of the Italian Garden, a small brown bird darted out of a tree on the east side of the water and returned to the same place. I thought it was the Spotted Flycatcher which was seen here a couple of months ago. Then it crossed the lake, spent a short time in the reed bed and returned, and I saw that it was a female Blackcap. She was getting insects to feed to two fledgelings. Here is one of them.
The Coot nesting near Peter Pan still has only one chick, and as far as I could see there are still four unhatched eggs in the nest. A Herring Gull came too close and the male Coot chased it furiously away.

Invest in Women Entrepreneurs Initiative Launches
A group of women entrepreneurs recently launched the Invest in Women Entrepreneurs Initiative (I-WE) that seeks to significantly increase resources that support the growth of women-owned businesses by leveraging private, corporate, and government grants and capital.
Women entrepreneurs who get support through coaching, capital, and connections build strong, sustainable businesses that create financial security and fuel our economy. Women-owned businesses are a proven catalyst for financial security and economic growth. Today, these companies generate more than $1.6 trillion in revenues and employ nearly 9 million people. This is particularly impressive because women businesses only receive 4% of commercial loan dollars and only 10% of SBA loans, despite the fact that they represent 30% of all businesses in the United States.
I-WE held their first leadership meeting at ASBC's offices on March 7, where they discussed key strategies to advance their work. ASBC has long supported efforts to expand access to capital for women business owners, and we are proud to support I-WE's mission and see so many ASBC-affiliated women as part of the leadership team!

Robert Aguirre is 60-years-old and has a pretty incredible story.
He used to be the owner of a successful engineering consulting firm, but is now homeless and living in the "nation's largest homeless encampment," according to Mother Jones. The a community just happens to be right in the middle of Silicon Valley. It is called "The Jungle."
He was offered a job in China before the economy crashed in 2008, but he declined. "I didn't want to move there," he told Mother Jones. He and his wife (who is handicapped and currently works as a medical clerk making $3,000 a month), were living in their car after a housing mix-up with a former landlord. Then they moved to "The Jungle."
Mother Jones has Aguirre's story, after reporter Josh Harkinson visited the camp and spent time getting to know Aguirre. While Harkinson says he could not verify every detail that Aguirre shared with him, it is his belief that much of what Aguirre says is true.
In his own words, Aguirre wrote his story for Harkinson, which you can read here on Mother Jones.
This is what Aguirre says about living in the homeless camp:
The Jungle is a forested stretch of Coyote Creek where about 300 people live in tents and shanties. They use the creek as a latrine or to bathe in; they just don't drink from it. I've heard that the Jungle is the largest encampment of homeless individuals in the United States. The city doesn't refer to it as the Jungle, which kind of connotes wild animals or wild behavior. It's actually really close to lots of tech campuses. Every day, a Yahoo bus goes by.
Aguirre says they are hardly the only people who are "gainfully employed but just can't find a place." They even have iPhones and a wireless hotspot.
They also do what they can to help themselves get back on their feet. Aguirre says:
I go to all the city hall meetings, the housing meetings, the county supervisors meetings to advocate for homeless people. We are trying to get this place cleaned up and to get people taken out of here as safely and quickly as possible and trying not to abandon anyone.

A sign pointing out that this is not a garbage depot and will you put your garbage with you (a rough translation but you get the point). Thanks
Brussels is not the cleanest of cities. It's not full of dog poopy like Paris but it's far from immaculate like Zurich. On any given day, you can find garbage bags on the curbs tossed on the curb haphazardly waiting for a pickup. Crushed beer cans are often found on window sills or carelessly thrown on the ground. Even some cleaning people do half assed jobs (like not picking up the baby's ball and leaving it under the table). Is it laziness? Not sure and I don't want to make any stereotypes (I am just speaking from experience). Welcome to Brussels. This might also explain why one of the country's most famous symbol is a pissing boy.I think the Belgian mentality is that it's our country and we can treat it how we please. I am not going to argue with this because frankly I don't care. I am not Belgian and I was not raised to through Jupiler beer cans in some one's doorway.
The walk to my daughter's creche (aka daycare) is one of those walks that I detest. It feels long and even in broad daylight, the street feel deserted. When it is cloudy or rainy, the walk is so depressing, I feel like drowning my sorrows with some alcohol. But I hold back because I am a mum. The walk is far from exciting and all I can think about is my little girl. On one lonely corner, there are the typical city trees. You know those trees, a skinny little thing on a small patch of dirt usually surround by stones or some wire to make it clear, this is nature, respect it and don't throw your crap here. This all seems so elementary and logical. Keep your city clean. But guess what? Apparently in Brussels, tossing trash at a tree and using public spaces as garbage receptacles is common.
How bad does the garbage situation have to be before someone from the neighborhood puts up signs? He leaves a note on the tree trunk. I wonder who this person and how dirty did the tree have to get before posting these two messages. Do people walk by and take notice like I do? Do they chuckle and think, this person is on crack?Why would he care about a tree so much? I give this person credit for trying to clean up Brussels. Bonne Chance!

Hello Everyone! I hope that your harvest is going well and that everyone has been getting good prices for their fruit.
Dr. Phil Brannen, pathologist at the University of Georgia sent this along earlier this week, and I thought it would be good to keep an eye out for this in our orchards this year, especially since we have had so much rain and wet weather.
From Dr. Brannen:
I had a call this morning on Phomopsis constriction canker. This is one of the diseases for which we don't have great answers – certainly not fungicide ones anyway. Some peach varieties are susceptible, and the wet conditions last fall and this winter/spring have likely contributed to the degree of disease observed; the initial infections are thought to occur on buds and leaf scars. The question was asked as to whether pruning out infected tissue would be of value, and the short answer is that I don't know for sure, but I think it might be for two reasons: carryover inoculum for infections next fall and possible fruit rot.
As far as I know, I have never personally observed Phomopsis fruit rot, but in going over information in my files, I found the following note from George Philley, retired extension pathologist from Texas A&M. He stated, "I saw more Phomopsis fruit rot. It is usually just a novelty type disease, occurring rarely from time to time. Mid to late season I found it in my peaches more often than you would like. It was hot and dry. No brown rot problems at all. I think a good common name for this disease is " crater rot". The flesh melts away forming a nice little crater in the fruit. I am unofficially calling it crater rot because I use that terminology in describing the disease to someone. I don't like using fungal names, like Phomopsis, for common disease names." I guess "a rose by any other name" comment would be appropriate, but I don't like the idea of Phomopsis spores raining down on developing fruit. In our 2014 Southeastern Peach, Nectarine and Plum Pest Management and Culture Guide, we state that "Phomopsis or Botryospheria pocket rots are best managed with a tank mix of Topsin-M plus captan, beginning six weeks before harvest." In reality, I have no idea from where that recommendation was derived, though I have no reason to refute it either. Based on Phomopsis disease recommendations in blueberries, captan does have moderate activity on Phomopsis, so incorporation of captan in cover sprays may be a good recommendation; the addition of a little Topsin would not hurt, assuming that resistance has not occurred to this class. The DMI materials Indar and Quash are also among the best fungicides listed for blueberry Phomopsis twig blight management, as is Pristine; as a result, I am hopeful that Merivon and possibly Orbit (propiconazole) products might have activity as well. Abound has been reported to have activity in peach, as well as captan and DMIs. Therefore, other than adding captan (and possibly Topsin M) to the cover sprays, I think our regular brown rot program will likely be as good as it gets for Phomopsis fruit rot management.
Pruning out diseased tissue does often have value for reducing disease in future years.
It is not perfect, but it does help, and I think it is likely to be beneficial enough that it would pay for itself. Based on one of the attached papers, you don't need to remove the cuttings from the field to get the benefit of pruning out the infected tissue. I still would prefer that the prunings be flail-mowed as a matter of practice, but there is no evidence that this would benefit Phomopsis canker disease management. Multiple fall applications of fungicides would be required for suppression of the canker stage of the disease, and control through fungicidal means is definitely cost prohibitive.
Additional Comments:
Keep any eye out for sunken lesions that appear silver in the fall – these can lead to spore release if we have a wet spring. Also – be sure that those with significant fruit on their trees still – keep an eye out for Brown Rot and stay up on your fungicide applications as best you can with the harvest.
If you have any questions, please contact me or your favorite extension agent and we can help!
Happy Harvest!
