Your patients are invited to participate in our new integrated services program titled CHD Health & Wellness. Through this program, which is funded through a generous grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Agency, CHD now offers primary care services for its behavioral health clients. These services are offered in partnership with Caring Health Center and Holyoke Health Center at CHD's State Street and Appleton Street Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinics. Services include regular care with a primary care provider as well as access to enhanced wellness programming such as:
• Yoga and Exercise Classes
• Nutrition and Healthy Cooking Classes
• Smoking Cessation Classes
• Chronic Disease Self-Management Workshops
Your patient's participation in this program will not interfere with the therapeutic relationship you have with him/her. Rather, CHD Health & Wellness staff will collaborate with your office to manage the complex co-occurring disorders care required of some clients while meeting the requirements of the grant program, including conducting a non-fasting blood glucose test at the start of the patient's participation in the program. From time to time, we may also request medical information for your patient, for which we will provide your office with a release form signed by your patient. Unless patients choose otherwise, we will not be changing his/her primary care provider of record; we will merely be offering your patient enhanced wellness services and monitoring of his/her vital signs to track progress in the wellness programs.
Regarding our program, one clinician had the following thoughts to share: "First of all, I think it's brilliant to offer "whole care"; it just makes a lot of sense. When people come [to CHD], they are usually in high need. When I meet with people for an intake, I always ask if they have a primary care provider. When I can offer them primary care and wellness groups in addition to mental health services, they get really excited. And I think this approach helps retain clients; it keeps people more connected to their care; it provides a path for them to take care of themselves."

Inevitably there is a down-side. Writing is in black and white. It will commit you, and those that you are writing about, to your statements in a way that speaking does not. Your opinions will often be seen to be critical, even if you didn't intend them to be or, worse still, had taken great pains to disguise them. If you report the views of others, they will almost certainly accuse you of oversimplification. And, if you become a published author, others will feel uncomfortable because they did not do it first. The professional classes are not immune to jealousy.
It may not end in tears, but it could spoil a good meal. I remember one formal dinner at which the guest speaker, a distinguished medical writer, was 'buttonholed' by an eminent researcher, and publicly attacked for allegedly ruining the reputation of a colleague several years before. At least he was told of his offence, even though he couldn't remember it. Grievances tend to dwell in the minds of the aggrieved, and the medical establishment generally has far more subtle ways of dealing with 'offenders'. Because of this, one successful medical writer decided early in his career that he would not write for publication until he had become a consultant. The tone of his writing since has confirmed his sound judgement.
This does not mean that you should not write. But it does mean that, if you do, you should realise that you are putting your head above the trench, and will attract snipers. You should be aware of this risk, and decide in advance whether – or when – you wish to take it.
One of the obvious rewards is the sheer pleasure of seeing your name in print The power of this should not be under-estimated. I know of distinguished doctors who regularly cut out their articles and send them to their mothers. However, as argued above, high profiles have their dangers, and if this is you only motive I suggest that you consider some other competitive activity like hang-gliding or medical research, that will give you the fame you crave without the same danger to your career or personality.
Another reason for writing is to further your material interests, a motive to which, in post-Thatcherite Britain, we can readily admit. You may do this directly, by marketing articles which will earn vast sums of money - or indirectly, by using publication to bolstering your reputation, career, practice or department. This is a straightforward reason and success is easy to measure.
Professional people often say that they want to write because they have something to say. In itself this desire is harmless enough – the urge to influence others has as long a history as the urge to profit at their expense – and sublimating it into print is an innocuous way of meeting it. If you decided that this is your main motive for writing, you should ask three questions.
The last question is particularly important: there is a huge gap between having something to say and being in a position to say it.
One of the pleasures of being a professional writer is that you are paid to find out things you would want to find out anyway. This should be coupled with a desire to tell others what you have found; this is the love of gossip in its more exalted sense of swapping information rather than assassinating personalities. Added pleasure may come from skilfully rocking boats with capslzing them, but be prepared for the shouts from passenger and crew.
Many writers say they particularly enjoy the tussle between that blank piece of paper and themselves. Writing is an intensely personal activity, and one of the few areas in which people can exert full power over what they are doing (this power may rapidly evaporate once it raches the editing stage, but that's for another chapter). One experienced doctor- writer summed it up when he told me that his main regret in his writing career had been that he had cashed his first cheque. He wished he had kept it framed, so that it could remind him forever of the intense satisfaction that publication had given him
Some writers claim that they enjoy the process of writing, of sitting down and letting the words flow; others say that there is an inner demon which drives them to write. You can satisfy either need simply by sitting down and writing. There is nothing wrong with that, provided that you realise that your first priority is satisfying yourself rather than an audience, and that your chances of getting published rest on the unlikely event that the two coincide.
Motives are therefore important, because they will help shape the direction you choose. Anyone starting to write should understand their own; at worst this will avoid disappointment and at best will ensure a reasonable chance of becoming satisfied

Will the YouView join this illustrious list of modern gadget flops? Here's the tech that promised so much yet delivered so little...
Like Andy Murray and English sporting teams, tech can often be given immense pre-release hype before belly-flopping into ignominy. Hot on the heels of our historic gadget flops, we bring you their modern day equivalents. All of this tech was hailed. All subsequently failed. But hey, at least they tried. It's the taking part that counts, right?
Amstrad E-m@iler
Having the misfortune to look like an early 90s IBM trying to dry-hump a telephone, the E-M@iler charged lucky users to check their email, once they'd wrestled their way past a calamitous keyboard and OS. Its USP - that it allowed anyone to email - looked out of date from the moment it hit the shelves in 2000.
This is categorically not the robot we were promised in our youth. Autonomous men should by now be our allies and slaves, but all we have to show for years of research is Honda's creepy metal child. He can climb stairs? Big deal, so can we, and we don't cost $1 million a pop.
Atari Jaguar
This was the world's first 64-bit console and therefore had 63 more "bits" than it had half-way decent games. Killed Atari stone dead as a brand.
O2 Wallet
Losing your phone or having it stolen is stressful enough as it is, so we're not sure how keen we are to have all our money electronically stored in it as well. Thanks anyway, O2.
Google Latitude
Yet another way for Google to shrink the Earth small enough to wedge into its morally ineffable pocket, Latitude lets friends register their location on a real time map, allowing for easy meet ups and borderline stalking type activities. It's not that popular, presumably because people like to reserve the right to lie about where they are, particularly when they're in bed with your wife.
Like Betamax before it, HD-DVD was shoved into the ring by a pushy parent - Toshiba in this case - despite competition from a format with more commercial backers. Unlike Betamax, it couldn't even claim to perform better.
Robot Vacuum Cleaner
What was promised as the gadget to end domestic suffering turned out to be a wheelie bin lid driven by three bickering, blind mice. Not only do these machines take hours to get around your house, they usually fail to pick much up, too.
Sega Dreamcast
Whilst the Dreamcast's graphics beat the PlayStation's, third party developers knew the PS2 was just around the corner. As a result, Sega's machine had fewer decent games than a Margate arcade. Its failure led directly to Sega pulling out of hardware manufacture to concentrate on endless Sonic spin-offs.
In 2001, those of us who thought of walking as a pretty good way of getting around were shown the error of our ways by Dean Kamen and his bi-wheeled personal mobility, er thing. What was billed as a device to shift every human on the planet has - due to some irksome faults and recalls - sold only 50,000 units in eight years.
Windows ME
You think Vista is bad? This follow up to Windows 98 was the first to ditch support for MS-DOS completely. It also ditched any semblance of reliability, crashing repeatedly and picking up viruses like it was going out of style. It lasted just over a year before XP came along.

Vaginal Birth After Four C-sections (VBA4C)
Every once in a while, I get an e-mail that just makes me feel not worthy as a birth spokesman. This was one of those emails. The woman (whom you will meet below) did what many believe to be impossible- she had not one, but two, vaginal births after FOUR cesareans (VBA4C).2006 I had my first baby born via c-section for "failure to progress" after 10 hours of labor and 7cm dilated.
Birth Warrior.
Without further delay, here is her story. She did the VBAC interview that I welcome all VBAC moms to complete. Positive stories help others know that it is possible. And that is an amazing thing!
1. So, I would love for you to first give a brief rundown of your first birth/s and what you feel like happened and why you had a c-section.
Birth Warrior.
Without further delay, here is her story. She did the VBAC interview that I welcome all VBAC moms to complete. Positive stories help others know that it is possible. And that is an amazing thing!
|VBA4C- It is possible!
1. So, I would love for you to first give a brief rundown of your first birth/s and what you feel like happened and why you had a c-section.
2. What made you desire a VBAC when they seem so hard to come by in the current obstetric climate?
My fourth cesarean was the lowest point for me emotionally, I can recall praying in the hospital during recovery that I just could not go through this again. And I wasn't even sure I'd want to have anymore children if I had to have surgery. At about six monthss postpartum, a desire for another baby was so strong. My husband and I talked and prayed extensively and decided we did want more children, maybe even two more. And I knew that this time around, I would face my fears and advocate for a trial of labor.
3. How did you find a care provider who would support you?
I talked with a lot of different care providers, even the most "vbac-friendly" OB in my state and he basically laughed at me. I was determined to find someone who was willing to provide my prenatal care knowing that I was determined to have a trial of labor. I finally found a high risk OB at a large public hospital that was willing to talk with me openly and honestly about trying for a vba4c. I did have to make a couple of concessions like schedule a cesarean for 41 weeks and agree to labor at the hospital with continuous monitoring. And, the staff really wanted me to have an epidural so that I was one step closer to the operating room if I needed surgery.
4. What was labor like for you?
August 4, 2012, my labor started 5:30 am with contractions about 10 min apart. My water broke around 12:30 pm, and contractions and intensity picked up from there. I arrived at hospital around 4pm with intense, regular contractions and a lot of back labor. At 7:30p, I was 6 cm and in a lot of pain in my back so I agreed to have epidural to help my body relax. Once I had the epidural, I went from 6 to 10 cm in 45 min. 20 min of pushing and baby was born just after 9pm.
|Vaginal Birth After Four Cesarean (VBA4C) Baby!
5. What helped you VBAC?
My faith in God, my super loving and supportive husband, my doula, a small group of women that were believing with me and praying for me throughout the pregnancy, and my OB that was willing to support me in having a trial of labor.
6. How did you prepare for your VBAC (was there anything you did differently)?
I changed my doctor, and hospital. And I changed the conversation from "will you let me have a trial of labor" to "I've decided to have a trial of labor, how best can I do this?" I read and researched vbac a lot. Everything I could get my hands on.
7. Describe your VBAC birth story. We would LOVE to hear about it!
The process of labor and completing with a vaginal delivery was so healing from my previous labor experience. Our bodies are amazing, and we really are capable of so much more then I ever thought.
8. Has the postpartum experience been different than your other birth/s? What about it surprised you?
Such a difference postpartum. Even my husband was shocked at how quickly I was myself again (within hours of giving birth vaginally) as compared to days after surgery. After my vbac, I was up and around, using the bathroom, and most importantly I was entirely present and available to bond with, hold, nurse, and cuddle my newborn. I too, was surprised at what a difference my post birth experience was. Recovering from major surgery while caring for a newborn, and mothering my other children was an extremely difficult endeavor. I would never choose that option again unless it was absolutely medically necessary.
I am grateful to say, I had another successful vbac delivery May 2014. I am currently 24 weeks pregnant with baby #7 and preparing for another vbac, this time I'm going for completely natural!

A READER AT A MAJOR NEWSROOM EMAILS: "Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and betting you dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others. People cheer when CNN or NBC run another Palin-mocking but raising any reasonable inquiry into obama is derided or flat out ignored. The fix is in, and its working."

WORCESTER Dont let the swank décor or the upscale sound system fool you. The latest incarnation of Gilreins is dedicated to showcasing serious blues acts.
The legendary club at 802 Main St. in Worcester reopened this past winter amidst a buzz of anticipation. The stretch limos and long lines of socialites the club attracted would have led an unsuspecting passerby to think P. Diddy was throwing a party - not that the blues was being cranked out.
Robert Johnson himself never could have envisioned his legacy of blues would be done such honors in the smartly renovated space that is Gilreins House of Blues. The club, once known for its sea of smoke and steak sandwiches, is now boasting a New York style. Crisp hardwood floors cover the club, which is partitioned into two sections: bar and stage room. The expanded bar is fully stocked (the drinks are strong), while the elevated stage can be comfortably viewed from several tables and rows of chairs.
The entire space is gently lit, and, along with the small glass encased candles that grace each table, creates a relaxed atmosphere - perfect for drinks after work, or a romantic liaison. Add to that free valet parking and a limited dinner menu (the steak sandwiches are back) and Gilreins has become a destination location for all.
But Gilreins couldnt have kept its momentum going with good lighting and strong drinks alone. The club is all about the blues. Wednesday through Sunday, from 5 p.m. to close, patrons get inundated with class act blues.
"Its great that Worcester has a place to see great blues again," said Chris Fitz, of the award winning Chris Fitz Band, at a recent performance. "There are a lot of great blues acts out there, but Worcester didnt really have anyplace for them to play. Boston has places, but Worcester didnt. I hope it keeps going."
Fitz said it was his bands second time performing at the new Gilreins. He remembered an earlier version of Gilreins well.
"There was so much smoke," he said. "Gilreins has opened and closed a few times. This time they really did it over. Its beautiful in here. Theyve got a great sound system and an in-house engineer. Its easy to make us sound good."
Along with Fitz, the club has featured such talented acts as the Billy Blue Blues Band, David Maxwell and the Maximum Blues Band, Chah Lee, Revin Kevin and the Bak Track Band; and the Valves. The club also finds room for jazz, and was recently rocked by the Worcester JAZZ Orchestra.
Worcester native Michael Reardon, lead singer of the Boston-based band Veneer, said it was high time his hometown got back its blues club.
"I was always too young to go there, and then it was closed," he said. "Now I can go and its great. You know, I live in Boston, but Gilreins is a reason to come back to Worcester."
Reardon said he hopes the club will help reinvigorate the music scene in Worcester.
"In Boston there are so many bands and so many places to play," he said. "Its not like that in Worcester. Our band is rock, but weve definitely been influenced by blues. Our lead guitarist Joe Holloway studied blues and that is evident in the riffs and solos he comes up with."
"In Boston youve got all this music - rock, blues, jazz, experimental, some real far out stuff. All the musicians know each other and go to each others shows. Worcester has really been missing that blues element and I think thats important for a healthy music scene. You look at all those great rock bands; the Who, the Stones, you name it, they were immersed in everything. They were immersed in the blues," Reardon said.
Fitz said he has played all over the country and Gilreins has always been one of the most fun places to throw down with the blues licks.
"Worcester is a nice city," he said. "Its nice to be able to come here. Well be coming back again."

Dornbirn, Austria – For the third year in a row, numerous employees took part in the pre-Christmas campaign for the benefit of the Vorarlberger Kinderdorf with donating gifts. The voluntary campaign was once again organised and realised by the employees of Zumtobel Group.
For this purpose, Christmas trees were set up at the Zumtobel Group sites in Dornbirn, which were decorated with the children's individual designed Christmas wish lists and have been in the center of attention during the last three weeks. The employees could take a wish card from the tree and therefore put a wrapped present underneath it.
Thus the staff of Zumtobel Group fulfilled 124 little heart's desires of children from the Vorarlberger Kinderdorf. Among the presents there were pocket torches, shoes, various toys and gift cards.
"We are delighted with the amount of joy our colleagues have shown for the third time in a row in implementing the Christmas campaign. Our decorated Christmas trees and the many gifts let us feel the magic of Christmas also at workplace. However, the most beautiful thing is the idea of great pleasure we can give to the children," says Patrick Lorenz from the campaign's initiator team.
The presents will be handed over to the support team of the Vorarlberger Kinderdorf next week to ensure that the children receive their fulfilled Christmas wishes in time for Christmas Eve.
"Writing a wish list to Santa Clause is still something very mysterious for children. Listening into oneself, being attentive to the desire's character as well as formulating and shaping it creatively. Taking the time to design the card does not mean consuming it without any relation but getting into the mood for the upcoming festivity and telling oneself carefully what I would be happy about. In the focus are the magic of Christmas and the given attention by the donors. We sincerely thank the employees of the Zumtobel Group for taking care of the Christmas ritual in such a wonderful and loving way," say Verena Dörler and Sylvia Steinhauser of the Vorarlberger Kinderdorf.

First it was Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo who played with men's clothing in the 1930s. Then came Yves Saint Laurent, who in the 60s made it fashionable for every woman with the masculinity of "Le Smoking."
Ever since this time, menswear for women has been inescapable on the Paris catwalks - a sure sign of breaking taboos.
But in Paris on Thursday, the third day of fall-winter 2013-14 ready-to-wear, some collections were different. They made no apologies about being feminine.
Nina Ricci looked to balletic style, featuring sisters playing live piano; and Balmain adorned women in jewels.
While Lanvin's message was clear - the 20th century is the story of feminine glamor.
Could this be the start of the fightback of ladylike style?
Designer Alber Elbaz took the Lanvin guests on a typically encyclopedic journey for fall-winter.
The Lebanese designer's imaginative show in 52 diverse looks saw references that spanned from the furs of the 30s, the satins of the 40s, the full skirts of the 50s - right up to the inflated sleeves and shoulders of cutting-edge trends.
Several satin looks even fused the flora and fauna of the garden, with dragonflies, moths, beetles and butterflies.
With the myriad references, it's little wonder several of the model worn gold necklaces with featuring the word "help."
There were some sublime furs, dip-dyed jackets and the seemingly endless boas really conjured up pre-Second World War glamor.
If one thing Elbaz used to hold this all beautifully together it was this: femininity.
Balmain went to the Far East for fall-winter, and came back with a Siamese princess and half the crown jewels for the Paris house's luxuriant ready-to-wear display.
Oriental wrapped silks combined with Bejeweled couture, which embellished the show's hourglass silhouettes.
Waists were cinched to within an inch of life; and high-waisted silk harem pants defined the esthetic.
27-year-old designer Olivier Rousteing has indeed come a long way in stamping the house with his youthful exuberance.
And it's no small feat: it's only his fourth season at the storied house - founded on the eve of World War II.
"Upbeat, modern and real" were the words he used to described the collection.
With the spiky, in-trend 80s shoulders, "upbeat" and "modern" it definitely felt. But "real" - given the collection's ample Lurex stripes, chandelier crystals, and metallic leather tweed - was stretching it.
The Nina Ricci show was fashion-on-stage.
The music was provided by a live grand piano performance by sisters Katia and Marielle Labeque, who played "Two Movements for Two Pianos" by Phillip Glass.
The dance, seen in the balletic inspiration of the show - which featured models with hair pulled back, and heels like pointe shoes and ballet slippers.
Though the show didn't take too many risks it was slick, saleable and, at times, very sexy.
With full red lips models walked in blacks, crimsons and soft pink in silhouettes that varied from the long to the super short, with the odd revealing bustier.
Some wonderful flared knee length skirts channeled designer Peter Copping's fascination with the vintage and romantic.
"Sometimes simple, sometimes powerful, but always balanced," said Barbara Bui of her restrained fall-winter 2013-14 show.
With this mantra, the French-Vietnamese designer delivered a clean collection that played on textures and transparencies in black and white - and a dash of London-style.
Commercially-minded Bui is not one to break any boundaries, and Thursday's show certainly didn't.
But some of the 30 looks did add a twist to her tried-and-tested formula of simple, balanced feminine elegance.
Avant-garde romantic Rick Owens is always full of surprises.
On Thursday, it came in the form of what Owens called "wedding cake" stitching alongside billowing-sleeved Samurai silhouettes, and models with wild, Wagnerian hair.
The Gothic edge to much of Owen's bichrome repertoire should not fool anyone: What he does is always genuinely subtle.
Oversize white tunics and black fabric layers seem haphazard - but were in fact delivered delicately, with soft architecture: the first look's white hanging robe frames the sectioned, column silhouette.
Elsewhere, collars - like flaccid marzipan in celebratory cakes - unfurled down from the neck; while a few white stitches, that he used sparingly, succeeded in dominating and defining whole looks in black.
Owens said thec ollection was a celebration of his favorite things - by the applause he got, it seems he's not alone.
Friday's shows include Christian Dior, Roland Mouret and Issey Miyake.

The Bavarians accomplished just that with a 3-1 win that was rarely in doubt with one of their best performances of the season so far. Carlo Ancelotti's Bavarians, however, could only claim first place for a day as RB Leipzig downed Schalke on Saturday to push aside
But it was the 05ers who struck first from a counter-attack, beautifully finished off by Jhon Cordoba in the fourth minute. Only four minutes later, however Robert Lewandowski equalized by finishing off a Bavarian counter-attack.
Arjen Robben, who had set up the Polish international, scored himself with a header from close range in the 21st minute. Lewandowski then scored his team's third in second half added time, with a perfectly executed direct free kick.
Augenblick: Toward the end of the game, Mainz looked likely to equalize to 2-2. That made the 3-1 insurance goal all the more important. Not only that, but the goal was also by far the best of the four in the match. (It is the last scene in the video, one minute into it.)
Man of the Match: Robert Lewandowski deserves the honor, due to his two goals. For the first time this season, Bayern Munich played in a 4-2-3-1 formation, which suits their players better than any other tactical setup. Lewandowski was one of the main beneficiaries of the change.
Key Stats: The statistics that usually stand out at Bayern Munich games did the same in this case. According to the website of the sports magazine "Kicker", the team had 72% possession and an 87% pass completion rate.
But the formation change made the intangibles better, the things that cannot be put into statistics, like the style of play, or the players' confidence.
Talking Points: For Mainz, this result only consolidates their mid-table status. While they are clearly too good to go down, they may not be good enough to repeat their success from last season and qualify for Europe.
From Bayern's point of view, one can only hope that they keep playing in the 4-2-3-1 formation, that has often served them well in previous seasons.

After almost one month of celebrating Christmas, New Year's and Epiphany, January is usually a pretty dead month in Rioja. Except in the Rioja wine business.
As I mentioned in my post on November 16, sales of Rioja have dropped dramatically due to the economic crisis, which has hit Spain especially hard. Shipments from January through November are down almost 6% in Spain and over 11% internationally, prompting the president of the Rioja Regulatory Council to predict that shipments in 2009 will decrease by 8% (the numbers won't be published until the middle of February). This means that Rioja wineries have shipped 30 million fewer bottles than in 2008.
Ex-cellars prices have decreased, too, with the average price of a young Rioja dropping 4%, crianza 2.8%, reserva 7.7% and gran reserva 9.2%. This follows a trend going back to 2000, mainly the consequence of a crowded marketplace and pressure from big retailers to meet price points.
These numbers have had a huge impact on grape prices, as wineries, faced with razor thin profits, are pressuring their grape suppliers, who have found that they have produced more grapes than the wineries are willing to buy. The result: grape prices have plunged and the growers are complaining that current prices don't cover their production costs and some wineries haven't paid for grapes from the 2008 harvest. The wineries counter that grape prices were high for ten years and if wineries have had to tighten their belts, the growers have to, as well.
Back in November, I explained that an inventory-to-sales ratio of 3 is ideal in Rioja. Now, a large harvest in 2009 as well as decreased sales has pushed the ratio well over 3. At that time, the largest winery association, the Grupo Rioja, proposed that maximum yields be reduced by 10% for 2010, 2011 and 2012 to bring supply of grapes back into line with demand until sales of wine pick up again.
This situation came to a head at last Friday's meeting of the Rioja Regulatory Council when the growers' representatives refused to support the Council management's request to approve the 2010 advertising and promotion budget. The growers have convened meetings this week to decide a course of action.
From the growers' point of view:
- Grape prices are at their lowest since 2001 – an 8% drop in sales doesn't justify a 50% reduction of grape prices
- Some haven't been paid for their grapes from 2008, let alone 2009
- Reducing production takes money from their pockets, as they could sell excess grapes to make table wine.
However, the European Union doesn't allow minimum price fixing, so the matter of renegotiating prices is strictly between wineries and growers, outside the scope of the Council.
The president of the Council has stated that the growers' refusal is temporary and the problem will be solved.
The Council has proposed a 10 million euro (14.3 million USD) advertising and promotional budget for 2010 that is on hold until financing is secured.
As Spaniards like to say, 'las espadas están en alto' (the swords have been drawn!).

On Saturday, October 24th from 4PM to 6PM, we will be live-blogging and live-tweeting a protest organized by the owner of a dog named Sylas killed by a Fort Lauderdale Police Department officer known only as "Officer Ramos". The shooter, whose full name and badge number was withheld from Sylas' family, reportedly opened fire on the dog while he was only a few feet away from a toddler. The police encountered Sylas after entering private property secured by a closed gate without a warrant without the permission. Following a brief internal investigation, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department announced that the still-mysterious "Officer Ramos" would face no repercussions for either the killing of Sylas or the reckless discharge of a firearm with a child in the line of fire.
The Puppycide Database Project has discovered that this type of dangerous shooting - in which a child is in the immediate area - is shockingly common during police killings of dogs. One in five "puppycides" involves a child under the age of 18 in the line of fire.
The protest will be held in front of the Fort Lauderdale Florida Police Department at the corner of SW 14th Ave and Broward Blvd on Saturday, October 24th from 4PM to 6PM. We welcome readers to attend and speak to our volunteers - you should be able to spot us by our press passes!
Sylas' family have started a Change.Org petition which has already garnered 2,700 signatures as of this writing.
Those interested in attending the protest on October 24th can contact the organizers and RSVP on the Facebook page created for the event. The family also has a Facebook page devoted to sharing Sylas' story.

Let Sareem Poems Beat You Over The Head Making You "Black and Read All Over"
Sharlock Poems, Sharlok Poems, Poems, Sareem Poems whatever you wanna call him (I prefer Sharlok Poems), the guy can rhyme. The former L.A Symphony member has become a solid solo artist, releasing three albums in the past (The Movement, Left and the most recent Blooming Sounds). This time around the emcee goes by the name of Sareem Poems and has teamed with Scribbling Idiots member Theory Hazit and Oddisee to handle the production on the album. What do you get when combine these in one album?
Now as most of you know guests are really big for me when picking up an album (no it's not the only thing). Looking at the tracklisting you see there are guests from everywhere and some that we haven't heard from in a while. LMNO (from the Visionaries) Scarub (Living Legends) Pigeon John (L.A Symphony) and many others assist Sharlok with the lyrics on this record.
From the start of the album your ears a blessed with the intro track "Enter" which sets the tone for the entire album, it's bangin'. The introduction to the track is followed by the track "Come Get It" which features one of the producers of the album Theory Hazit. It's a track that pretty much says we're two of the best emcees around and you're crew is garbage. It's sets the tone for this album very well and should get the listener psyched to hear the rest of the album.
"Hard Labor" continues the trend of banging tracks with features by LMNO and Scarub. The production on the track can only make you move your head up and down; I personally replay this track over and over while I'm jogging because it gets me pumped. Each emcee covers a different topic but I think the overall topic of the song is life is hard work, but we must push on regardless.
Like I said earlier the big difference between Sharlok's last album Blooming Sounds and this one is the guests on the tracks. Most Christian Hip Hop tracks have the serious vibe to it, but if you need an emcee to spice up your tracks you call Pigeon John and he'll give you a verse and background vocals you'll never forget and that's exactly what "Lower the Boom" is. A song that you play at parties to get the people to the dance floor, this song is energetic and you get a guest verse Akil from Jurassic 5.
"Shake It Up" is another track where Theory destroys the beat and Sharlok kills the rhymes. One gripe I kind of had with the album is that hooks aren't really that creative, which I suppose isn't that big of a deal, but I wasn't feeling most of them. I think Sharlok kind of mixes up verse topics on this one which has him hitting you with numerous messages in one song.
One of my favorite songs on this record is "Impossible" for numerous reasons, first it features Stro the 89th Key who we haven't seen or heard from in a while, second we get another gest appearance from Othello from Lightheaded and last the topic of the song is amazing. It's pretty much that nothing is impossible in life even though life can get rough and we might feel like we're going to quit. Othello's verse I think stands out the most on this.
"I can't. Won't stop nah. Push it forward, gotta crawl.
If I can't stand tall, I'm a still make it all,
the way to where I gotta be."
Now Theory Hazit handled most of the production on this album, but Oddisee of Diamond District handled the production on two tracks. "Tell It" and another favorite of mine "She's So So". I think everyone can relate to this song, basically it's the whole boy meets girl, is too nervous to talk to girl, contemplates talking to her and then finally does realizes she was feeling him too. This is one of those tracks that just flow and have a nice vibe to them.
While I have only listened to 2 of Sharlok's albums, Black and Read All Over improves on what Blooming Sounds sort of lacked. The production is superb on all levels, Theory Hazit and Oddisee did work on this one and it shows. Every guest on this album from Propaganda to Othello, from Georgia Anne Muldrow to Ragen Fykes all of them brought the heat on their performance. And to top it off Sharlok complimented the beats to perfection, with the exception of a few tracks where Sharlok seems to get lost in the beat (in other words the beat overpowered the lyrics if that makes any sense).
Sharlok is honestly on a roll right now with this release and with him and Dust releasing an album sometime before the world explodes it should be a great year for the former L.A Symphony member. A couple words of advice to the reader first go check out Sharlok and Dust's myspace page for a music video a four tracks that duo has done together (trust me they're all awesome). Second if you have not picked up the album yet; wait until the deluxe edition comes out on December 1st because you get the album that I just reviewed here, the instrumentals to the entire album and some remixes. I know I will asking for the Deluxe Edition for my birthday. So pick it up!!!!!
Beats are banging
Guests!!! (LMNO, Ohmega Watts, Othello, Stro, Ragen Fykes, Theory Hazit, Propaganda, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Pigeon John and more)
Sharlok brings the rhymes to compliment the beats
The beats sometimes overpower Sharlok's lyrics causing the lyrics to be overlooked.

As the debate continues to rage over public charter schools in Washington, traditional public schools and many of their supporters have squared off in opposition to charters, which they see as draining attention and money away from them.
But Spokane Public Schools has from the start taken a unique path. They've worked alongside local charter schools by authorizing two. Some stakeholders now say such a collaborative approach may really be the most strategic over the long haul.
When Washington voters approved public charter schools in 2012, there were two ways for the schools to open. They could be authorized by the state charter school commission, or by the local school district. Local district authorization wasn't in the cards in King and Pierce counties, where seven of the state's current nine public charter schools are based but opposition to charters runs high among teachers, some parents and school board members.
One Out Of 295
Of the state's 295 public school districts, just Spokane's became a charter authorizer. It approved PRIDE Prep and Spokane International Academy.
But the district is not running any public charter schools currently. Last fall, the State Supreme Court ruled that Washington public charter schools were not "common schools," run by elected school boards and accountable to voters, and thus not eligible for state General Fund monies like traditional public schools. When the court ruled the funding mechanism for charters was unconstitutional, it invalidated any agreement Spokane had.
The state superintendent provided a "stop-gap" fix for the rest of the school year. Spokane's charters and others in the state were given a designation normally reserved for online schools, Alternative Learning Experiences (ALE). They became ALE programs under the Mary Walker School District in December. It's a small district near Spokane. Two more were technically classified as homeschool centers to get around the court ruling.
On April 1, Washington Governor Jay Inslee let stand a public charter schools funding rescue bill approved by the legislature, swapping in lottery proceeds for General Fund dollars.
Days after the legislation cleared the Governor's desk, charter school opponents led by the statewide teachers union, the Washington Education Association (WEA), announced they would file another lawsuit to block the schools, unless they are directly overseen by local school boards.The WEA and the Washington League of Women Voters were among groups advancing the first court challenge.
Spokane Will Re-enter Contracts With Two Charter Schools
Spokane School Board President Deana Brower indicated the district plans to enter into a contract with its former charter schools again. "I saw quality education happening," when visiting one of the schools, she said.
Ann Murphy, president of the League of Women Voters of Washington, one of the groups that legally challenged the 2012 voter approval of charters, said Spokane's district-authorized charter schools were "a different animal" but might still be seen as insufficiently accountable to the public, with unelected non-profit boards controlling their operations.
The state has some of the highest standards in the country for charter schools, according to the National Association for Charter School Authorizers, a charter school research and advocacy group. Charter authorizers are required to submit annual evaluations of their schools.
Collaboration Between Charters And Districts: A Win-Win, Actually
Executive Director Bree Dusseault said Green Dot Schools view themselves as serving the districts they're located in, and would like to build a collaborative relationship with the Tacoma and Seattle schools. The company currently operates Green Dot Charter Middle School in Tacoma and plans to open a large one in Seattle next year. Working with the Mary Walker School District has meant they were able to share ideas and learn from each other, she said. "They have been really fantastic partners to work with," Dusseault said.
Collaboration between school districts and charter schools is actually the way through the current controversy in Washington, writes Robin Lake in the Seattle Times.
The Director of the Center on Reinventing Public Education, at University of Washington-Bothell, Robin Lake, states, "I have been studying charter schooling in America since the late 1990s. I have seen terrible charter schools. I have also seen excellent charter schools that set a new standard for innovation and quality."
Lake adds:
"I have seen school districts and even teachers union leaders move from battling charter schools to partnering with them, and even running them. School districts and charter schools are working together in Denver, Indianapolis, Oakland, Houston, Chicago, Boston and at least 20 other cities, benefitting students and teachers alike."
Brower said the Spokane Schools decided to become an authorizer because it aligned with their mentality of offering a variety of education options, like Montessori and an Institute of Science and Technology. "Charters fit well within that portfolio," she said.
Education isn't one-size-fits-all, Brower said, and the district wanted to have choices for students and families that might be searching for a niche. Pride Prep offers individualized learning with a technology component, she said, and Spokane International Academy has a focus on foreign language.
The district also wanted to ensure that the options available to its students met high standards.
More Say, More Oversight For District Authorizers
"I had let (the board) know if we don't become an authorizer, the quality of charter schools, we really would have no say or oversight. And we really wanted to make sure that our students had access to quality programs," said Spokane Superintendent Shelley Redinger.
Redigner had previously worked with charter schools in Oregon while superintendent of the Oregon Trail School District, and said it was a positive working relationship. Redigner said it was important to have the full support of the school board, which other districts might not.
Authorizer Work Complicated, Time-Intensive
But Brower and Redigner said the process of becoming a charter school authorizer was complicated and time-intensive. "I could see smaller districts that aren't engaging in that type of work wouldn't have the staff to fill out such an elaborate application and spend time on the process," Brower said. Spokane Schools Chief Academic Officer Steven Gering said the application to become an authorizer was over a hundred pages long, and also involved a visit from the state school board.
Spokane International Academy board chair Cal Larson said the school had a 250-page agreement with the Spokane School District board of directors that they had to comply with. "Our funding did come through the district, so they had a direct hand in the management of SIA," he said.
Spokane Schools Chief Academic Officer Steven Gering said Spokane's school board took applications from prospective charter schools, and then entered into a three-year contract with the two they approved. They could choose not to renew, or to revoke the authorization if certain requirements aren't met. He said SIA and PRIDE Prep were selected for the depth and detail of their applications.
Spokesperson Maggie Meyers of the Washington State Charter School Association said they haven't yet seen interest from other school districts in becoming authorizers, and attributed it to both political leanings and the "heavy lift" that the application process requires of districts.
Layers Of Accountability
Dusseault said charter schools have another layer of accountability in addition to the performance indicators like state tests that every school has. The state commission does annual evaluations on how charters meet requirements for legal, academic and operational components. She also said the board follows the requirements of the state's Open Public Meetings Act.
Larson said he became interested in Spokane International Academy (SIA) because it uses the Cambridge Curriculum, a rigorous and internationally-recognized program that has prepared his colleagues and their children for top colleges. Larson said it seemed like a good way to give back. The school is located in Hillyard, an area of Spokane that has struggled economically.
Advanced Spanish, Longer School Days, Better-Paid Teachers
SIA teaches advanced Spanish, has longer school days and requires community service. The school focuses on having high-quality teachers. "The stereotype is that charters starve their teachers, which not the case with SIA, we pay our teachers higher than the local district," Larson said.
Sen. Michael Baumgartner (R-6) said he's excited to see how Spokane's charter schools do in the future, calling the legislation the biggest bill of the year. "I'm pleased we have a way forward for 40 charter schools…we should be doing a lot more," he said.
Brower said Spokane could consider opening more charter schools, if the right program presented itself and addressed a need the district has. But she's not sure whether Spokane Schools will look to open more charters any time soon. "We would like some stability around charters before moving forward," Brower said, saying the benefits of the schools could be counteracted by the "yo-yo effect" of the current legal uncertainty.
9 Charters Could Grow To 12 By Next Year
There are eight public charter schools operating in Washington, according to the Washington State Charter Schools Association. Six are located in Seattle, Tacoma, Kent, Highline; plus the two in Spokane.
Up to three more public charter schools may open in Washington by Fall, 2017. One would be the Green Dot Seattle 6-12 School with a projected enrollment of 1,200 students, about as many as in all nine charters currently open. Another is Willow School in Walla Walla. The 12th would be Summit Public Schools' Atlas Charter School in West Seattle.

Stop trying to beat competitors and win customers and aim to maximize happiness and empowerment instead. By Danae Ringelman (Co-founder, Indiegogo)
Here in the SF Bay Area tech startup scene, when some founders are asked their long-term goal, they jokingly answer "world domination." It's trite, but if there's even an ounce of truth there, I believe a founder's chance of success is reduced.
The lows of entrepreneurship are simply too hard to weather if your motivation is any bit superficial. So to ensure starting a company is your means to an important end (e.g. solving a meaningful problem) and not the end itself, I encourage every fellow founder to do the 5 Whys exercise.
From there, my advice would be to drop all thoughts on world domination (even sarcastic ones) and spend your energy on world empowerment. It not only sounds nicer, but based on my experience starting Indiegogo, I believe it's a better long-term business strategy.
At Indiegogo, empowerment is literally our mantra. Those of you who have visited our San Francisco headquarters know what this means (those who haven't, can check out the image above). And our empowerment seems to be working, with over 150,000 campaigns from nearly every country of the world and in every industry having tested or raised money for their dreams on our platform.
No, we're neither perfect nor done by any means, but we're on our way, so I'd like to share some tactics on how we've started turning a word on our wall into a long-term strategy. Hopefully our learnings will be helpful as you set out to join us in the quest for world empowerment.
Deliver Customer Happiness, not Customer Service
Our customer empowerment work is led by the Customer Happiness team, who play a powerful role at the company. Their goal is simple: to empower. How do they start? By answering questions directly and authentically. One customer recently went out of her way to thank us for being "real human beings with intelligence and empathy." She added, "If only Indiegogo's culture could be replicated across the business world, imagine the millions of people who could throw away their tranquilizers and blood pressure meds!"
But Indiegogo's Happiness Agents don't just handle customer support questions. They also inform our product strategy and our educational offerings, and help keep their fellow employees happy.
Empower Happiness to Empower Product
For the Product team, the Happiness team serves as their eyes and ears for what works, what doesn't, and what we need to try next. When a product works, people come back, and when it doesn't, they don't. It's that simple. The feedback and impressions that our Happiness Agents collect from customers provide essential intelligence that we incorporate into product improvements.
For example the Indiegogo Outpost, which we announced this week, came directly from customers sharing that they wanted a way to host their Indiegogo campaign on their own website too.
Empower Through Scalable Education
The Happiness team doesn't just educate customers one-on-one, but also turns their lessons into educational materials for everyone to share and use. For example, our popular Crowdfunding Field Guide, provides a step-by-step guide to running a strong campaign. All content was distilled down from the thousands of customer help requests we had received to date.
Soon we'll be launching the Crowdfunding Playbook, which adds insights and statistics data-mined by our Data Science team (who sits right next to the Happiness team) from our 150,000+ campaigns to date. The Playbook is a comprehensive resource developed to help campaign owners, funders and partners, before, during, and after a crowdfunding campaign.
Preparation is the number one key to funding success, and as an equal opportunity platform with a mission to empower all people to fund what matters to them, ensuring equal access to educational materials improves the chance of success of all our campaigns. That's why sharing high-quality, customer and data-driven educational materials is the ultimate scalable growth strategy for us.
Empower Your Empowerers
Indiegogo Happiness agents also liaise with other parts of the company via our Internal Happiness Ambassador program to keep everyone here happy. Through this contact they also make sure that the customer perspective is included in decisions, and bring back news that customers might want to know– for example regarding in-progress trust and safety updates and new product rollouts.
We even have a "Happiness Happiness" program, to keep the Happiness team themselves happy. The team does something fun together each month, often with a customer– like when we all went to the Indiegogo-launched cheese shop Mission Cheese and sampled their amazing cheeses.
Empower Your Empowerees to Empower Others
We have learned a lot about empowering our customers, but the biggest recent lesson is that we can't do it all ourselves. Fortunately, we are in a great position to empower the world in a truly scalable way by enabling people and communities to empower themselves without us.
Customers have often asked us to hook them up with professional consultants, and consultants have asked us how they might reach our customers, so we're empowering our empowerees by launching the first Global Crowdfunding Network, which will allow everyone engaged in crowdfunding to connect with and help each other create and run great campaigns. This many-to-many solution promises to truly empower everyone in the industry.
Investing in customer empowerment is not a cost center to avoid, it's a critical factor for your company's scalability, product's growth, employees' happiness, customer's success, and ultimately your industry's health. Customer empowerment also keeps us from over-depending on expensive and inauthentic "customer acquisition tools" to grow and scale. Even the vocabulary of those services makes me cringe; what customer wants to be "acquired"? And ultimately, customer empowerment is just the right thing to do. As our parents taught us growing up, "Always treat others the way you would like to be treated yourself."
At Indiegogo we invest a lot of resources and work hard towards the goal of world empowerment, and I believe it has served us well. We know from experience that happy customers share and empower their friends to follow their lead. That's why you can't ask for a better tool than a Happiness Team when it comes to building awareness and growing and serving your customer base. When the customer is empowered, everyone wins– it isn't a dominance relationship where the company wins and the customer loses.
Not to get too competitive here, but that's why I think that in the long run, the forces of world empowerment will dominate the forces of world domination.

Who are you inspired by?
I was debriefing a session with the CEO of a European division of a global technology company. Just before we parted ways, the CEO, who through our work together had also become a friend, turned to me and asked me a seemingly simple question: "Who are you inspired by?"

Use Categories to organize records in an app into different groups and subgroups.
What can be done with Categories?
When you enable the category feature, it adds a new field to your app form called Categories. This field resembles a Multi-choice field and allows you to categorize your records.
When viewing a list of records, the category list is also displayed as a hierarchical tree on the left side of the screen. When you click a specific category, a list of records in that category is displayed. When you click a parent category, all the records that are organized into the child categories are displayed together.
Please Note:
- Categories can be configured with up to five levels of hierarchy.
- When importing categories with duplicate names, the data may be imported incorrectly. Avoid duplicating Category names.
Configuring Categories
- Within an app, click the Gear wheel on the right and select the App Settings tab.
- Under Advanced Settings, select Categories.
- Select the Use Categories check box to enable this feature.
- Under Category Tree, enter a name for the first category.
- Click the Add icon to add another category
- Click the Sub icon to add a sub-category to the category.
- Click an Add icon next to a sub-category to add a second sub-category..
- Drag the Arrow icon up or down to change the order of the list.
- Click the Delete icon to delete the current entry.
- When finished adding categories, click Save.
- Click Update App.

There is new release of Seco - 0.8.0. This is yet another incremental improvement of the first of its kind JVM-based notebook environment.
The release is intended to lower the entry barrier further by bundling several languages in the build out of the box, in addition to the JScheme & Beanshell old timer, most notably a new system for symbolic mathematics, similar to Mathematica!
- Groovy - latest version (at the time of this writing of course) is bundled, version 2.4.11. There is more work to be done here, defining classes is not supported. Groovy's internals offer several different ways to compile or interpret code, and the internal architecture overall is organized around compilation. Even its own REPL had to be patched to allow global variable declaration in a more interactive environment. But Groovy has gained lots of ground and several useful DSLs are build on top so it would be worth spending more time to support it better.
- JRuby - version 1.2.0 (shouldn't be hard to upgrade, probably next release). JRuby apparently beats Ruby native on several benchmarks, supports almost the full language (except things like call/cc which is to be expected for the JVM), so why one doesn't hear about it more is unclear.
- JPython - Version 2.5.1 bundled, nothing has changed here.
- Prolog (TuProlog) - Sans changement as well...works well!
- JavaScript (Rhino) - No changes here either. However, given recent JavaScript implementation for the JVM, an update is in order.
- Symja (Symbolic Mathematics) - this is a new biggy! The Seco notebook UI is obviously inspired (to the point of being a clone of) the Mathematica notebooks. This project brings symbolic mathematics to Seco. It has its own syntax, though I believe it is possible to plugin a Mathematica-compatible syntax. Other goodies such as LaTex formula display and a plotter for mathematical graphics are within the project scope, but need better integration. The Symja project is by Axel Kramer and can be found at https://bitbucket.org/axelclk/symja_android_library. As I understand there is a version that works on the Android OS and Axel is mostly focused on maintaining that at the moment. Here are some examples of Symja in action:
Besides that, a few bugs have been fixed, one of which was very annoying - it prevents wrapping long lines in exceptions within output cells. If you have used Seco for a while, you have certainly run into that bug...well now it's gone.
Another small new feature: one can set a default language for the whole niche via the new Niche menu. Also the XMPP support for a chat room and exchanging notebooks is back working (from the Networks Menu).
After being dormant for more years than I care to admit, the project seems to be getting some attention lately!

We said:
The euro area could provide a positive growth surprise in 2015. Lower oil prices, ECB QE and the weaker euro should help. Assuming of the gains in real income are spent and only a negligible recovery in business investment, we think the euro area could achieve 1.5% GDP growth in 2015. That might not sound like a lot but Mario Draghi and his colleagues at the ECB would gladly take it given where they seemed to be heading a few months ago. And it's another reason why we recently upgraded our outlook for European equities. (LSR Daily Note 16th February 2015)
Euro area growth 1.5% in 2015.

The linear economy
Two centuries ago the first industrial revolution established a linear approach to economic and social growth. This linear economy, still in place today, is based on three different steps: make, use, and dispose.
Its founding principle is that raw materials are copious, easily sourced from Mother Nature and cheap to dispose of.
The linear consumption model fostered significant social and economic improvement around the world. However, natural resources are not infinite and are becoming scarcer and thus more expensive to be sourced.
Trends such as population growth, urbanisation, climate change and pollution, increase pressure on available resources and, combined with the linear economic model, create a significant amount of waste, which is expensive to manage and dispose of.
This waste could actually be a valuable resource, but for that to happen, supply chains, companies and products need to be designed accordingly.
The circular economy
In the last years, a new theory, looking into supplanting the linear economy, has been developed: the circular economy.
According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the circular economy is "restorative and regenerative by design, and aims to keep products, components, and materials at their highest utility and value at all times". The idea is to create "closed loop" systems, where materials are kept in use as long as possible and then, at the end of the life cycle, resources are not disposed, but recovered and reused.
The circular economy is based on industrial systems designed to reduce waste and optimise energy consumption as well. These circular systems need new supply chain networks, new product design and the introduction of new as-a-service business models.
As such, this new approach not only focuses on recycling, but considers the triple bottom line: economic, social, and environmental performance.
Benefits of the circular economy encompass the reduced cost of remanufacturing goods, the significant savings in terms of energy usage, the mitigation of the risk of raw materials price volatility, and a more resilient local economy which translates into a better social impact on local communities.
An analysis drawn up by McKinsey estimates that by 2025 circular systems could add £1 trillion to the global economy and that the EU manufacturing sector could realise materials cost savings up to £600 billion per year.
Digital technologies: The hub of the circular economy
Digital technologies have been identified as one of the drivers that can enable the shift towards a circular economy.
Information technology can be used to trace materials through the supply chain and create self-regulated systems able to optimise product utilisation. For example, RFID technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT) allow the tracking of materials, recording their usage, cost and remaining available life cycle.
Additionally, IT can be integrated into buildings, making them "smart". In this way energy and resource usage can be monitored and planned efficiently, providing a positive impact on the environment and significant savings to the user.
Social media platforms and mobile technology can connect users with businesses, giving them access to products and services in ways that were unthinkable only a few years ago.
An example of this is the sharing economy, where resources are shared and used for their entire lifecycle among different users. AirBnb, Zipcar and bike sharing services are great examples of this.
These services, paired with big data analytics, can provide valuable insights on products' usage and customer behaviour, allowing companies to design tailored services to users' needs, such as predictive maintenance and iterative upgrades.
IT plays a major role in this circular revolution. Digital Technologies act as the main hub for the circular economy and the sharing economy, from social media, through IoT, to energy consumption platforms and big data analytics.

Ever since Roots Manuva's first foray into UK hip-hop in the mid-'90s, he's been celebrated for what he isn't as much as what he is. When the 43-year-old (real name Rodney Smith) released 2001's lauded second album 'Run Come Save Me', its inspired mash of patois, homespun whimsy and dub rhythms could hardly have been less like Diddy, Ja Rule or the other American rap giants surrounding him. Smith has certainly battled personal demons in his time (his management attempted to have him sectioned a decade or so ago) and sixth album 'Bleeds' is often weighty, but sounds consistently alive, and inimitably Roots Manuva.
Nevertheless, his chosen producers explore fresh avenues over these ten songs. 'Facety 2:11' is engineered by Four Tet, and sounds like something MIA might have rejected back in the day for being too clanky (no bad thing, in context). With You, the new alias for Major Lazer founder Switch, moves from dub to trap with a quickness on 'Crying', whose beats turns a baby's grizzling into a rhythmic device. Adrian Sherwood is handed the controls for three songs around the middle of the album, 'Cargo' the highlight.
Elsewhere, though, 'Bleeds' is disarmingly lush: opener 'Hard Bastards' might be an exasperated lament for a British underclass cast adrift, but those strings which kick it off sure sound posh. 'Don't Breathe Out' ("The poor don't relax/The poor do the funky soul clap … turn Jesus black") toys with an unusually commercial, '60s soul-esque motif. Most lavish of all is 'I Know Your Face': powered by keening cellos and cascading harpsichords, any hint of Roots' cheekily British frivolity seems very far away, despite it being in evidence as recently as the previous song ('One Thing', which proclaims "the geezer called Jesus is the leader of a gang"). And while this could have added up to more gravitas than his personality can handle, it's impressive. To borrow one of his old album titles, this is awfully deep.
