Merchandise trade dropped by N641bn in Q2 — NBS
The National Bureau of Statistics on Thursday released the country's merchandise trade report for the second quarter of the year, with trade dropping by N641bn from N7.21tn in the first quarter to N6.56tn.
The bureau, in the report which was uploaded on its website, said the country's second quarter merchandise trade experienced a decline of 8.89 per cent quarter-on-quarter
The report attributed the decline recorded in the second quarter trade to contraction in both imports and exports.
The report read in part, "The total value of Nigeria's merchandise trade was N6.59tn in the second quarter of 2018, which was a 8.89 per cent contraction from the figure recorded in Q1 2018 at N7.21tn and a 14.56 per cent growth from Q2 2017's N5.73tn.
"The contraction of total trade in the reviewing quarter was mainly driven by the decline in both imports and exports."
During the period, the NBS put the country's trade balance at a surplus of N2.35tn.
This, it noted, was an increase of 8.36 per cent from the N2.17tn recorded in the first quarter of this year.
The report put the total import value for the country at N2.1tn in the second quarter, noting that this was 16.3 per cent lower than the N2.51tn recorded in the first quarter.
Some of the imported items during the period were agricultural produce, N224.52bn; raw materials import, N184.49bn; solid minerals, N17.29bn; energy goods, N98.17bn; and manufactured goods, N1.17tn, among others.
For exports, the NBS said goods worth N4.46tn were exported to other countries.
This, it noted, indicated a contraction of 4.9 per cent over the N4.69tn recorded in the first quarter.
"So, it is a great thing for this country that we are now facing commercial agriculture; this is agriculture with commerce behind it, and it is going to make us rich and self-sufficient, and that is the beauty of it.
The Chairman, WHGF Limited, Capt. Hosa Okunbor (retd), explained that the project, sited on 27 hectares of land with the capacity for 28 hydroponic greenhouses, was designed to produce an estimated 4,200 tonnes per year of agricultural produce as well as earn an estimated revenue of $5m yearly.
Okunbor said that the greenhouse would also contribute towards increasing Nigeria's food security and self-sufficiency, especially as the country was said to be spending about $360m annually on the importation of tomatoes.
According to him, the farms will directly employ 500 people at full capacity, while thousands of youths and women will be engaged indirectly in the production of many types of vegetables for local consumption as well as export.
He stated that by adopting new technologies, Nigeria could replicate the agricultural success recorded by western countries like Mexico, which generated $32.6m from agricultural exports in 2017.

Kalimpong was today carved out of Darjeeling, which has seen separate statehood demands since 1980s, as a new district with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee making the formal announcement here.
Announcing a slew of development projects for the newly created district at a colourful ceremony, Banerjee said "a Rs 220 crore road link project will be taken up to connect Kalimpong with Sikkim via the old Silk Route."
She said a Rs 50 crore water supply project by the public health engineering department will be taken up soon to address Kalimpong's water scarcity problem.
Darjeeling Hills has been witness to violent statehood movements since 1986 under the leadership of Subhas Ghising and after a few years' thaw, again under Bimal Gurung, the present chief executive of Gorkhaland Territorial Administration, in a bid to break away from West Bengal.

12 to 27 April 2014 to the heart of the nuclear industry and back!
Since the 1980s, the "Rad Tour†has taken thousands of people to the heart of the Australian nuclear industry, exposing the realities of "radioactive racism†and the environmental impacts of uranium mining.
In 2014, we're going all the way to the NT to meet and support the Traditional Owners resisting a radioactive waste dump on their country. The Muckaty mob have been fighting the dump for over 7 years and are taking their challenge to the Federal Court in June 2014.
Travelling from Melbourne we'll stop in Adelaide and Port Augusta, to meet some of the women involved in the Irati Wanti campaign and the Gugada Tent Embassy. At Woomera we'll hear a history of the British atomic tests of the 50s and 60s from nuclear veteran and whistleblower Avon Hudson. We'll travel through Kokatha and Arabunna country, visit the Olympic Dam uranium mine and spend time with Arabunna elder Uncle Kevin Buzzacott.
We'll witness sunset over Lake Eyre and the unique and fragile ecosystems of the Mound Springs, which have been devastated by the colossal water usage of the Olympic Dam mine. As we continue north to Alice Springs we'll stop by Pine Gap to consider the Australian government's complicity in the US war-machine and the outdated notion of "extended nuclear deterrenceâ€. We'll meet more inspiring people with a long history opposing the nuclear industry and the NT Intervention in Alice Springs before continuing to Tennant Creek to support the Muckaty mob in their struggle against a radioactive waste dump.
Along the way participants will get to experience affinity groups, desert camping, vegetarian cooking and a temporary community. Not to mention some of the most stunning and ecologically significant environments in Australia. The 2014 Tour is longer than usual to account for the extra distance. To minimise time in the bus, participants are welcome to explore the option of flying home from Alice Springs. The Tour will return to Melbourne over the course 4 or 5 days.
The legs of the journey are as follows, detailed itinerary available soon.
12 April: Melbourne to Adelaide
13-19 April: Adelaide to Alice Springs
20-23 April: Alice Springs to Tennant Creek and back
24-27 April: Alice Springs to Adelaide, then Melbourne
The prices below are based on current budget estimates, but we are hoping to bring the price down to make the Tour more accessible. We'll be fundraising in the next few months, so if you're able to help or need some ideas for fundraising a ticket, get in touch with us.
Cost, including fuel and food for 15 days:
Concession (SA) $500
Concession (VIC) $550
Waged $700
Solidarity $950
Registration form here-Â https://docs.google.com/
Tickets can be bought at the FoE online shop. Deposits are due 12th March-http://shop.foe.org.au/

I had a conversation with my mother today that just brought back the motivation I had lost in the past couple of weeks. She brought back memories of a decision she once made about my education. Back in 2001 she decided, due to financial constraints to remove me from the boarding school where I had been since 1998. After I passed my O'Levels, I wanted to go further with A' Level, but my single mother of four children sat me down to share how much she was struggling with the decision to remove me from boarding school, but the truth was that she just could not afford it anymore. For me, this was not a complicated decision at all, I told her that I can attend school anywhere and I will still do well, even the local school in our small town. I remember her being so worried about that at the time. At the tender age of 16, I already knew that I was dedicated enough to study in any environment and make it.
I attended my A' Levels at Mvurwi High school in Zimbabwe, which was pioneering A' Levels that year. They had no library, no books, and a few experienced teachers to teach Advanced Level. This was the school my mother could afford because it was close to home and there would be no need for transport costs or monthly groceries and pocket money as I would have needed in boarding school. I went to this school and still passed with flying colours. My mother worried about what people would say and whether the quality of education would still be good enough for me to have a future. Our stream was the first A' Level stream in 2001 and I am happy to say that we had good results, even with no library and books. I remember we used to have one book for History and another for Literature that we shared amongst ourselves. We used to share notes that our teachers were able to source from other schools. Our best student had 14 points and I got 13 points. This meant that we had more than enough points to get into the university.
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…Zechariah 4:10
I went on from that local school to be awarded the Zimbabwean Presidential Scholarship to study in South Africa for my Bachelors' degree in Social Work. Later, I went on to get scholarships to study in Ireland and Hong Kong. I have become a beacon of hope in my community, to motivate other students and parents that they can dream big and they can succeed no matter the circumstances. Hearing my mother tell me that she was at a meeting where people in our local town discussed me as an example to advise other parents to not be afraid to remove their kids from boarding schools and allow them to attend local schools blew my mind (our town is that small, everyone knows what the other is up to, so when someone's kids graduate or go overseas, everyone knows).
Getting this feedback is the essence of my educational experience and I honestly believe that stories and examples like these are the foundations that build legacies (there is an idea forming here).
At the moment, boarding schools in Zimbabwe are struggling to provide water and basic needs for students and a lot of parents are paying huge amounts of school fees, yet their children are going without basic needs.
The economic situation in the country is dire and parents are facing the same tough decision that my mother faced years ago, to remove their children from prestigious boarding schools to local schools.
I realized today that I might think and feel that I am invisible, but the world sees me. I am a light in someone else's life and that light can be used to fuel a young person's dreams. I remembered 16-year-old me telling my mother not to worry, that I did not mind leaving boarding school. I can imagine the relief she felt as a parent at the time and also after watching me doing well in spite of it all. Hard work, dedication and a sense of purpose will always be rewarded. I have seen this in my lifetime and it shall forever be true. To God be all the glory and honour!
I hope this encourages someone.

Students from Carmel College and Rosmini College in Auckland combined for the first time to compete on the Samoan stage at Polyfest 2019 — the largest Polynesian festival in the world.
Carmel College head of arts and culture Junitta Moa said in a school newsletter that Polyfest was "a very enjoyable and moving experience and would not have been possible without the help of our incredible team of parents, teachers and tutors".
"We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to represent our schools, our culture and our families."
This was the first time for Rosmini College to participate and lead the combined schools on the Samoan stage.
Gavin Barlow Lafaele, the leader of the Polyfest Group, acknowledged Rosmini principal Nixon Cooper for funding this activity that has "fulfilled our desires to embrace diversity, culture and identity in our school environment".
This year, the final day of Polyfest was cancelled after the March 15 mosque shootings in Christchurch.
A combined Carmel and Rosmini Colleges Fiafia night on March 13 was attended by 600 people and raised $7000 towards the costs associated with Polyfest.

Known as DataMan, it is specifically designed to monitor your data usage, regardless if there are 3G or WiFi and help to alert you with pre-defined threshold so that you don't have to worry about excessive data usage which could be still expensive in certain countries.
With DataMan, users can get precise usage on how the data being consumed, and more importantly, it will help alerting you whenever you reach certain percentage of data usage limit. Some other features that worth to be mentioned are as below:
- Easy configuration and running in background so that it won't disturb your current iPhone usage.
- Track data usage for both cellular and WiFi in details such as hourly, daily, weekly or monthly intervals.
- Alert users when the usage exceeds certain threshold which is fully configurable (up to 4 levels).
- Geo tagging capability with breakdown of data usage mapped for frequent travelers.

The only representative of Germany in this year's TAURON SEC is Kai Huckenbeck. Wuppertal-born rider has already had a chance to get familiar with the Euro Championship. He has been handed a single-round wild card thrice and one year back, for the first time in his career, he go himself under the tape as a permanent participant of the series. However, he wasn't able to join a fight for the medals and now, it seems like history is about to repeat itself.
Most importantly, what Huckenbeck misses is some solid scoring. This year, he hasn't finished a round with a double-digit score, even though he was only inches away from this achievement in Guestrow (9 points) and Vojens (8 points). Meanwhile, he had a little setback in Toruń, because at Motoarena he only got 5 points and it's not hard to find out that to fight for the top spots, you need some more persuasive performances. Without that, you're not able to go through to the most important heat of the nights - race-off heat and the final one.
Never though, it can't be said that Huckenbeck falls behind when comparing to his rivals. Despite a not so big experience in top-level events, he is still capable of getting equal clashes with other riders. When you look at the statistics, half of his heats, Huckenbeck finished as first or second. However, other stats show that nearly every third heat ended for him without getting a single point. That is probably where his loss to to the overall's top came from.
It's worth mentioning that all of three riders, who currently hold the podium spots, have ended their heats on the last position maximally twice, Huckenbeck has done it five times. German rider surely got some big potential, but to make it fully grow, he needs to avoid setbacks like these. Huckenbeck admits that starting in Euro Championship helps him to develop.
- Being part of TAURON SEC taught me that racing is extremely hard, especially when you have such a star-studded line up like here. You got many extraleague riders, so the level is very high. Of course, it's not easy, but on the other hand, it's great to compete against the world's top riders and learn from it. I really appreciate that the organizers, once again, handed me a permanent wild card. This is very important for me and I see it as another step forward.
Huckenbeck can already take his thoughts to the final round of TAURON SEC, which will be held in Chorzów, on September 28th, 2019. So far, German rider holds the 8th overall position, losing eight points to the medal zone and seven to the 5th position, guaranteeing a spot for the next year's series.
Theoretically, he still can improve his position and end the season successfully, but in fact, he would have to count on some worse performances by his direct rivals and got himself improve a lot. Looking at the results of previous rounds, it may be hard having such a coincidence, but still, it doesn't change a fact that Huckenbeck is already looking forward to the meeting at the Śląski Stadium and everything because of the...fans.
- I think that fans in Poland are really crazy. It's something completely different comparing to the Germans. Of course, you can meet huge speedway fans in our country, but these massive crowds in Poland impress me a lot. It's incredible. I hope that soon, more German riders will show up, so they will have a chance to compete in tournaments like this and experience this amazing atmosphere.
Kai Huckenbeck is aware of what he says, because one year ago, he had a chance to start in Chorzów, so he could feel this atmosphere by himself. On the sport side, he didn't get too many positive memories, though. Everything because of a tumble, which he had in his very first heat.
Right after tape went up, German started to catch speed at the end of the first corner, but all of a sudden, he hooked Andreas Jonsson's back wheel and caused a crash, which also included Andzejs Lebedevs. Luckily, Huckenbeck had been able to go back to the pits on his own and later on, he started in two more heats, didn't get any point and decided to withdraw from the meeting.
- It was a really bad day for me. In my first heat, I caused an accident and crossed my chances for a good result. I take all the guilt, because the track was really well-prepared. It was my fault that got me off this rivalry. I hoped I could have race till the end, but I had to back off.
This time, Huckenbeck will surely do his best to make up last year's failure and fully enjoy racing in front of the crowd at Śląski Stadium. While looking at it a bit more broader, one can wonder whether Huckenbeck has a chance to become a top-star of German speedway. In recent years, it has mostly been related with Martin Smolinski. Now, his younger fellow countryman has been getting more and more chances to race before broader crowd and build his own position at the international arena.
Definitely, both riders care about progress and promotion of German speedway, but on the other hand they have been kind of competing to become Germany no.1 in the eyes of speedway community. Can you already tell who's on top of this rivalry?- I think that we're both at the more or less the same level. Everything depends on a day and actual disposition. Of course, I've always wanted to be better than him. Every rider is doing his best to show their strength. I'm also trying to become number 1 in Germany - Huckenbeck ended.
Great final of TAURON Speedway Euro Championship 2019 comes on 28th of September, 2019 at the Śląski Stadium in Chorzów. Tickets are available via eBilet.pl and start from 19 PLN.

I'm an unrepentant Airplane Nut. I have been one as long as I can remember. My bedroom was full of model airplanes hanging from the ceiling. My allowance was spent on new models, paints, balsa wood. And the best thing ever was an airshow.
Museums come next. Smelling, touching, seeing airplanes, especially old and preferably very rare ones is where I get my kicks.
The world's smallest biplane
There is a very special place in Tucson AZ. Actually it's two places but they are so tightly connected they seem to me to be one. They are the Pima Air Museum and Davis Monthan Airforce Base.
|Maybe the only Bolo bomber left on the planet?
Davis Monthan is legendary amongst fellow airplane nuts. Know around the planet as "The Desert Boneyard" it is where the US military stores and scraps it's outdated aircraft.
Hundreds of cocooned helicopters
In the past it has seen fleets of B52's parked in the desert in case they might be needed, then seen them cut up for scrap when they weren't. Now it's full of C5's, F-15's, P3's, C130's and hundreds of T24's. According to the tour guide there are 4500 aircraft there today with a mix of fixed wing and helicopters.
Rows and rows of mothballed Navy P3's
Immediately next door is the Pima Air Museum. I first visited there in 1985 with a fellow airplane nut Tommy Wilson. Back then it was mainly outdoors but had some rare aircraft like a B24 and an A12. It got most of it's collection from the Boneyard simply by moving the fence and towing them in.
A B50 with 4 propeller engines and 2 jets.
B47 6 jet engines
Today it's HUGE. 5 hangers and 80 acres of aircraft displayed outside. It's at least a full day to see everything. The tour bus of Davis Monthan is run by the museum and the only way you can see the Boneyard (Unless you have Military ID is via the museum.
Be aware that the Boneyard tour fills up fast so get there early. We arrived at 11am and got seats in the LAST TOUR OF THE DAY at 3.30pm.
I was in Hog Heaven, Barbara was glad to get a rest on the tour bus for an hour after walking around the Pima facility for 4 hours!

About Me
My Journey
Welcome…my name is Sandy Bath. Born and raised in Southern California, I moved to Northern California when I was in my early 20's. It was there that I met my husband Jerry. We have two grown sons with families of their own and we are blessed with four wonderful grandchildren. In 1994 we moved to Lander, WY. a beautiful small town that sits at the foothills of the Wind River Mountain Range.
As a child I was able to see and hear things…
In 2011, I was introduced to an amazing essential oil company call 'doTERRA' (Gifts of the Earth) and as they say the rest is history…well not really! The story and the business continues to bring members of my family as well as myself …

Ivy growing on residences and also grape creeping plants are examples of traditional "vertical gardening". Leaping ahead to today, the idea has been adapted to metropolitan areas, mainly due to the fact that it increases the expanding capacity of limited rooms.
The first presumed vertical garden was the The Hanging Gardens of Babylon in ancient times. Such was it's greatness, it was a marvel of world status. This specific structure is stated to have made use of water to feed the plants without using soil, so this would've additionally made it a hydroponic yard.
What Are The Benefits of Vertical Gardening?
Bring alive tiny areas in your house or garden with vibrant flowers or fresh health food. Unsightly wall surfaces or fencings can be made to look even more eye-catching when decorated with plants and fruits.
It is endless. There is a limitless array of methods to set about attaining beautiful blooms or ripening vegetables and fruit. The only restriction is your imagination.
You can use soil or grow with no dirt. (hydroponic gardening.) You can make use of anything. Many objects already about your house can be used. Bottles, boxes, old ladders, palettes, fabric pockets and also almost anything you could think of will work. Say goodbye to bending down to tend to beds. If you are older bending down can be a little bit of a job. With this strategy, as the plants are elevated up, you won't have to fret.
Vertical Growing All Year-Round
All year growing is possible as you can do it inside. Or perhaps in your cellar with the help of some grow lights. Plants can be transferred, if on a movable framework, to capitalize on differing light at different time of the year. Good News! It's really low maintenance. No need to weed sizeable chunks of earth to produce and incredibly basic treatment of your plants. Much less pests and infections.
Less growing area means less soil bugs. Much healthier plants are the outcome. Brilliant blooming flowers and high yields of fruits and vegetables can also be anticipated. In addition, therapeutic properties have been credited to having plants inside your house.
Utililizing Area For Maximum Benefit
The fantastic benefit of vertical gardening is that a small amount of space can offer a huge amount of flowers, fruits or vegetables. Despite just how restricted your readily available area, you will certainly be able to grow away to your hearts content. Making wise use of upright room, what could have appeared like a pointless area is unexpectedly packed with huge capacity.
Example: Grow 50 plants in 4 square feet of room.
With a bit of "training" you can make the shoots reach far from the ground as well as totally maximise the crop manufacturing.

I was talking to someone the other day and he asked me "what you had been up to"? I replied "we have been doing our Spring Thing". Cleaning up all the fall and winter debris. I went on to explain that our corner property has a lengthy grass section that butts up to the streets, which requires a lot of raking. He says, "I see your son out there raking the other day, "I didn't think kids did that anymore".
When I was a kid, I don't recall ever enjoying all that yard work. I had that teen mentality, always dragging my feet, shoulders slumped, head down, mumbling. It was if I was on my way to the electric chair. Today, the role is reversed, now I am the dad that drags his reluctant son outside to do some yard work. My approach is different than my father's. I gather a couple of bow rakes, leaf rakes, shovel, broom and the wheelbarrow. I explain to my son the difference between the bow and the leaf rakes followed by a demonstration. Next, I show him how to rake as a team, then how to do rake by himself. I could see that he suddenly realized what was coming. My son was going to have to take ownership of this chore and it was to be his spring break project.
I came home from work the other day and glanced at the lawn as I pulled into the driveway. Not bad, I thought. My son seemed eager for me to critique his work. I told him "job well done", you get an A+. Maybe part of his success is that I am a teacher, the other part is that he is a good kid as most are. All kids need today is a little guidance and some praise. Kids will work, if you show them how.
Bloggers Note: Nothing new regarding local politics or events. I am preparing a post about the Riverwalk project, which may raise some eyebrows. Other than that, just plugging along doing our Spring Thing. For my video fans, I am working on a project for a couple of musicians. Here is a sneak peek:

What book have you read the most times? And–how many?
My answer:
I can vaguely remember rereading a book from my childhood but can't remember the name. I can picture the cover in my mind, but not the title. As far as in my life from Junior High to this day, I have never read a book twice, that I know. There are too many books that I haven't read and want to, then to reread a book whereas I know how it will turn out. Theres's that saying…..too many books, too little time.
Please send email with following info:
*Blog Name
*Blog URL
*Facebook Name
*Twitter Name
ex: likes, dislikes (cozies fantasy, erotica) EReader, Info of past tours, Any other info
7 Responses to "Booking Through Thursday"
I agree with you "To many books, to little time." I have a sweat shirt with that saying across the front. I'm sure people think I a bit weird when I wear it, which in the winter is a lot.
It is true that there is too many new books to read, but I can't resist revisiting the ones i loved. Here is my BTT.
I don't re-read much either.
I don't often re-read but there are some favourites that stand the test of time and warrant a re-visit now and again.
Here's my BTT.
I also agree with your answer.
I have many re-reads! Gone With The Wind, the Outlander series, Pride and Prejudice, Little Woman, She's Come Undone and Cold Sassy Tree.
I don't reread a lot…but there are a few go-to books that are my comfort books when I need a reading kick-start. Here's my full answer: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/07/booking-through-thursday-repeats.html

Ob Ma Di Ed Mo Ha ...
This poll shows:
28% Ma[nning]
16% Di[nning]
9% Ob[erg]
3% Mo[rton]
3% Ha[ncock]
?% Ed [Stelmach]
As I mentioned in a previous post and to friends and family that as soon as Preston Manning hinted that he might run a week ago, he automatically gained a support base. This poll certainly shows that.
I've read in some blogs and postings of people who support Ted Morton that they've worked a lot for him in the past year and for Manning to come in out of no where isn't right or fair.
Well, them's the breaks. Politics is all about timing and momentum and Preston's timing couldn't have been better and the momentum is now on his side.
And really, officially, the leadership race doesn't officially start until September, as determined by Ralph Klein this week, so there's still a lot of time for others to put their hat in. To say, "Morton was here first" is a weak argument.
Amazing though. Mo and Di have been at this for some time now, while Ma says one sentence and kaboom!
But with Ma already way out in front, Di has a lot of work to gain support from other camps, but the fly on the wall says there was an ABD "Anybody But Dinning" movement anyway. Before Ma entered, Di was at 21% but now he lost 5% to Ma. So one quarter of Di's support was weak anyway.
Ob Ma Di Ed Mo Ha, life goes on.

We already introduced Josin, a German talented composer, songwriter and producer. One year after her first EP Epilogue, she announced the release of her debut full-length. In The Blank Space is out on January 25th via Dumont Dumont. We had the pleasure to ask some questions about her debut album, her live shows and more. Check her answers after the video below.
"In the Blank Space" is your debut album. What about the creative process and the inspiration?
The process of doing that album began long ago and it feels good to have my creative outputs of the past years until today on one record. Lots of my inspiration comes from when I'm on the road, surrounded by nature. Most of the very first ideas are captured in those moments and I love to bring them back into my studio afterwards to work on the production, the sounds, the structure. So it basically always starts with something very simple and intuitive, and then it becomes a load of work 🙂
The visual part seems to have a great role for your music. You shared the video for the title-track, Burning (For A New Start) and "Once Apart". What about these three videos and the connection of your music with the visual part?
I think it´s a symbiosis. It interacts, but for me the music always comes first because I'm mainly a music maker of course. But it´s always interesting to see how the images changes the way I feel about the music. With that said I try to choose carefully what I'm doing visually because it´s like an additional dimension or instrument to my music. But a lot things are not planned while collecting the images – especially when you are filming outside and more unexpected things can happen.
You were Born in Cologne to a Korean mother and German father. I suppose you grew up with different cultures. How much it affected your way to think and create music?
It´s hard to say because I don't how I would feel about a lot of things if I wasn't raised with two or more cultures. It has definitely made me try to find my "own" identity more, I guess. Interesting thought though – could be a reason for my music being more introspective?
Kiasmos remixed you track "Company". What about it? And what about the chance of a remix album, as a follow-up of the debut full-length?
The Kiasmos remix is a huge honor for me. Doing a remix album is definitely something I would love to do. Present my songs in a more electronical way. A lot of productions of my songs have already been more electronical.
Considering the nature of your project, how much are you interested in experimentation? If yes, what is your way to try to do it?
I think writing music is always experimenting. Every new song is a new approach and a chance to try new things. My goal in the future is to collaborate more with other people and explore that kind of experimentation!
You announced the European Tour. What do you like more of live shows compared to studio sessions?
The connection with the outside world. I love being in the studio and just working on my music by myself, but the moment when these songs are performed live and evoke emotions of other people it´s making the whole process meaningful.
I saw which there aren't Italian dates. Will I have the chance to see you in my country in the future? Are you plannng something?
I hope play an italian show soon! Would love to include italy in a second tour this year.
What are the best release you appreciated this year?
I don't listen to a lot of music to be honest, but I'm lucky to have talented friends that release amazing music. This year was better because of wonderful releases from Olafur Arnalds, Jens Kuross and swedish Vivii for example.

This week has been a whirlwind but really nothing has happened :)
Ridge has been potty-training this week. All mom's know the stress/fun that is. He is finally getting the concept of it and going on his own a bit. We are still hoping for an accident free day- hopefully soon. He loves his super-hero underwear. He is so little though that he has to constantly pull them up.
Yesterday Brecklynn got her ears pierced. ABOUT TIME!! She looked so much cuter earlier but she is getting so bad at taking out her hair. I finally gave up and still took a pic. She's still cute right? I love her ears pierced. Cambree got her ear's pierced when she was about 5 months old so it was so hard waiting so long.
Cambree is such a ham. The kids were out playing ball with Curtis and she kept posing for me taking pictures.
Look at his neck vein. We always joke that if he nicked that 'little' vein when he gets upset....he would be in a world of trouble.
I was trying to hard to get a picture of Ridge's little crack but he is so fast at pulling up his undies, I could never snag one ;) I love how white he is though. Proof he does tan.
So Ridge is almost an official big boy, Brecklynn is cuter than ever with her ear's pierced with her Mater teeth, and Cambree is just...well Cambree :)

All four potential leaders of the newly formed United Conservative Party — the product of a union between the province's Progressive Conservative and Wildrose parties, and the most likely threat to NDP premier Rachel Notley's reelection — have spent the campaign to date taking hard lines on trade, taxes and everything Ottawa. During the first debate between leadership candidates last week, a packed hall of revitalized provincial conservative die-hards cheered loudest when the candidates promised trade wars and constitutional legal battles.
Responding to a question about the beleaguered Trans Mountain Pipeline, for example — which B.C.'s new NDP government has vowed to oppose — Calgary lawyer and would-be UCP leader Doug Schweitzer threatened to kick B.C. out of the New West Partnership Trade Agreement, and bellowed: "Our economy is stronger than B.C's. If they want to get into a trade war, bring it on."
Our economy is stronger than B.C's. If they want to get into a trade war, bring it on.
As Alberta continues to suffer an oil-bust economic downturn, a Conservative premier would rankle much of the rest of Confederation on behalf of a province increasingly embittered by pipeline politics. It's the kind of muscular approach employed by premiers like Peter Lougheed and Ralph Klein, both of whom maintain a kind of mythical status in Alberta for their willingness to square off against Ottawa and the other provinces.
There's certainly an opportunity for a Conservative Albertan to flex his or her muscles. The environmental movement is intractably opposed to the development of Alberta's oil sands, opposition from other premiers to pipelines like Trans Mountain and Energy East threaten Alberta's ability to sell its oil in the U.S. and abroad. Meanwhile, under Justin Trudeau, the National Energy Board has expanded its mandate, stating that it will consider both upstream and downstream greenhouse gas emissions as part of the regulatory process.
The change at the NEB was sold as a bid to gain the kind of "social license" necessary to earn Alberta's oil industry the good will to expand; current NDP premier Rachel Notley has also invested in this more conciliatory approach, adopting a hard cap on greenhouse gas emissions in the oil sands and introducing a carbon tax. But from the Conservative point of view, the quest for social license has proved fruitless; if B.C., Ontario and Quebec continue to oppose pipeline construction, and the federal government proves unwilling to use its powers to make the projects happen, there is little reason for Albertans to play nice.
And that is where Kenney and Jean's constitutional threats come into play.
"In 1998, the Supreme Court of Canada made a decision in what is called the Quebec Succession reference in which it determined that if a province holds a referendum on a constitutional question and if it is adopted by a clear majority on a clear question, there is a binding constitutional obligation on the federal government to negotiate that issue with the relevant province," Kenney said after last week's debate. "If the federal government pursues a tax on our energy industry — the carbon tax — if it doesn't roll back the NEB's outrageous expansion of its mandate, and if it refuses to fundamentally change the equalization formula in 2019 I would be prepared to hold a referendum."
It would be a chance for those arguments to be put on the table, and who knows.
According to several legal experts, this is no mere idle threat. But constitutional law is more complicated than soundbites allow, and the real question is whether triggering such a referendum would amount to anything more than a temporary legal headache for the federal government.
To craft this proposal, Kenney relied on a paper published by retired University of Calgary political science professor and former Alberta cabinet minister Ted Morton, who said a referendum would likely force the federal government to negotiate on a constitutional issue in good faith. However, Morton concedes, a negotiation doesn't mean that that Ottawa would be forced to cede any of Alberta's demands; additionally, any actual changes to the constitution would require the support of seven provinces containing 50 per cent of the population, as per the amending formula.
"It would be a chance for those arguments to be put on the table, and who knows. Justin Trudeau might see opportunities for some reform," he said.
While the principle of equalization is enshrined in the constitution, the actual formula by which the transfer is calculated is a matter of federal legislation, and one that is up for review in 2019. The mere threat of a constitutional renegotiation might be enough to earn Alberta some concessions.
Even if it did, however, University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe warns that there is no likely new equalization formula that would make any substantive improvements to the red ink on Alberta's balance sheet.
Even if Alberta were able to exclude resource revenue from the equalization equation, "we have the highest level of fiscal capacity of any province," Tombe said. "I think there's lots of sensible changes that could be made, but Albertans shouldn't be under the illusion that it would improve our own fiscal situation. Changing the formula affects how equalization funds are allocated among have-not provinces, and we are not going to be a have not province."
In short, all this bluster from Conservative candidates would likely amount to little more than political theatre. But what theatre it could be.

ISLAMABAD - The Shuhada Foundation of Pakistan on Monday said it will file an FIR against Maulana Abdul Aziz for pardoning General (retd) Pervez Musharraf in the Lal Masjid operation case.
Tariq Asad, lawyer of Shuhada Foundation, said: "Last week Maulana Abdul Aziz, the cleric of Lal Masjid, under pressure had pardoned Pervez Musharraf, therefore, they were contemplating to file an FIR against him for pardoning the former army chief."
Since the statement of Maulana Aziz to pardon the former army chief in the Lal Masjid operation the differences between Maulana Aziz and the Shuhada Foundation have widened.
Tariq Asad told a two-member bench of the Supreme Court that though the report of Lal Masjid Judicial Inquiry Commission was made public but denied the access to those documents, submitted before the commission in sealed envelopes. He said the disclosure of those documents would provide true facts of the Lal Masjid operation. The bench comprising Justice Iqbal Hameed-ur-Rehman and Justice Faisal Arab, was hearing the petition of Lal Masjid Shuhada Foundation to open the sealed envelope.
The Supreme Court in April 2013, while ordering to make the Lal Masjid Commission report public, had stated that the remaining envelopes/documents shall be opened, on need to know basis, at the appropriate time.
Attorney General Salman Butt submitted that if the evidence in envelops made public then it would create security problems for many. He, however, said Law of Evidence provides protection to the witnesses.
The AGP said the confidential documents of the commission if made public would affect the proceeding of the trial court. Upon that the counsel of Shuhada Foundation said the federal government is already influencing the judges of trial court. Contradicting his statement, the AGP stated that the federation had nothing to do with the trial court hearing, therefore, there was no need of such remarks.
The court ordered the Lal Masjid counsel to file a statement that if the documents in sealed envelopes are made public then who would be responsible for the security of witnesses.
Shahid Orakzai, who impleaded party in the case, contended that there is no legal sanctity of Inquiry Commission report. The court therefore sought reply from the Attorney General on the legal status of judicial commission report.
Tariq Asad said philanthropists, who were providing ration to madrassa Jamia Hafza had been stopped. He said so far the government had not taken steps for the construction of Jamia Hafza. The apex court on October 2, 2007 had ordered the federal government to construct Jamia Hafza within one year and make interim arrangements of education and boarding and lodging within one month.
The top court had also directed that all the necessary expenditure on the education of the students such as their books, meal and boarding and lodging including the salaries of the teachers shall be borne by the government. The case is adjourned for indefinite period.

For years Canada's Die Scum, Inc. have been the masters of the soundtracks to films that have never been made. They even came up with a name for their original scores for their made up films...Notion Picture Soundtracks. I loved the idea and I've been a big fan of theirs since their initial releases. That being said, it thrills me to no end to be able to talk about their latest album, The PsyBorgs, which is the soundtrack for a very real, very awesome movie.
I've loved the DSI aesthetic from day one and it seems like kismet that their first official soundtrack is for a film that matches perfectly with their brand. And while it may seem like a match made in heaven, the road to getting The PsyBorgs OST into your ears hasn't been an easy one. I had the opportunity to talk to Troy of Die Scum, Inc. about finally being able to share this project:
We actually signed on to this project and began writing the soundtrack back in 2017, so there's been a huge wait to get this album out. We didn't even start writing Everending Summer (released June 2018) until after this album was done. Film festival showings kept pushing back the release date of the show and by extension, the soundtrack. I mixed the whole record 3 different times because I'd come back and listen to it, then go a little nutty. It got a best score nomination at Genre Blast 2018, which was pretty sweet. We did end up with a pretty rad music video out of it, as well!
I guess what's noteworthy about this album, is this was the tipping point for us to add a 3rd member to DSI, a guitar player I used to work with back in my VGM cover band days.
Welcome aboard Cody from your friends here at Echosynthetic! Be sure to head over to Bandcamp to snag The PsyBorgs OST and watch the movie trailer HERE, along with links for more information about the film!

It was week 10 back in 2002 when the Pittsburgh Steelers' kicker Todd Peterson went down with an injury, and the Steelers were forced to quickly hold a 4-man try-out at Heinz Field to find his replacement.
The Steelers settled on a relatively unknown rookie named Jeff Reed out of the University of North Carolina. In his first career game, Reed would hit 3 field goals in a narrow victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. (Fun fact: That was my first Steelers game in the city of Pittsburgh).
Reed kicked well in the un-friendly confines of Heinz Field for the rest of that season, causing the Steelers to cut Peterson that off-season and keep Jeff around for 8 more seasons.
Fast forward to 2015.
Injury to the Steelers' starting kicker? Check. Signing relative unknown rookie kicker? Check. Said kicker comes up big in a victory in his first career game? Check.
Said kicker goes on to long and awesome career for Steelers? We shall see.
I know that plenty of people are saying let's not get too carried away. Boswell has only played 3 games in a Steelers uniform. I think that's fair. That being said, Boswell did something that very very few kickers do in the NFL. He hit a 51 yard field goal at Heinz Field.
The Steelers have had some extremely reliable kickers in Shaun Suisham and Jeff Reed, but neither was known for their distance on kicks or their kickoffs. Boswell has shown he has both so far. It's really not all that uncommon for unknowns like Boswell to go from unemployed to very valuable to their team quickly. Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was an undrafted free agent.
If Boswell does continue to impress for the rest of the season, the Steelers are going to have a really interesting decision to make next off-season.
The Steelers gave Suisham a pretty hefty contract extension. He's currently the 6th highest paid kicker in the league by average amount paid per year, and doesn't become a free agent until 2019. Boswell is signed through 2016 and would become a restricted free agent in 2017. In other words, Boswell would be much cheaper, and has a higher ceiling than Suisham.
With so many years left on Suisham's contract that would be a tough cut with a lot of dead money to swallow… So the Steelers' best move would be to find a trade partner even if he only netted them something like a 6th round pick. That's what Scobee was worth, who at the time was seen has a somewhat expensive but highly reliable kicking option. Suisham is similar, but younger and under team control for several years.
I think the Steelers wouldn't have too much trouble finding a trade partner with several teams having the same issues the Steelers have had early on with Josh Scobee.
I realize I may be jumping the gun here. The Steelers are in a good position though. With both guys under contract next season, there's no reason not to have a real competition in camp and deal the guy that doesn't win the competition.
While just a few weeks ago it appeared as if the Steelers had a serious kicker problem, it now looks like going forward they may have more than they know what to do with.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of UPPAbaby. The opinions and text are all mine.
I have been needing a double stroller since Knox was born. I didn't realize this fact until I started taking the kids on walks, and Crew would lose her mind if she couldn't ride in the stroller. So I was always carrying Knox in a wrap and I never got the freedom of pushing them both, together.
When I first saw the VISTA stroller from UPPAbaby….I fell IN LOVE. Aesthetically….it has got to be the cutest stroller I've seen. The peanut accents, color schemes, and build are just dynamic. But I also need other features…like storage space, a smooth ride, both of which the VISTA has…and so much more.
You can flip either seat to face either direction. They both recline all the way back. The adapters are very easy to use and have color coordinated dots so you know which side goes with which. It's incredible, honestly. And a verrrry smooth ride. We also have a bassinet which we probably won't use since Knox is older, but this stroller is going to be around for all our future kiddos…so we will get good use out of it, eventually!
If you want to use it as a single stroller, you have that option too. I always think about the people who invent amazing products like this…and I want to give them a big bear hug for being so ingenious!
Folding it up….piece of cake! It folds up sooo smoothly! BUT, make sure you push the brake before, so it doesn't try to roll away from you. I learned that after a few practice folds;)
Another thing….I kept trying to carry the stroller after it was folded up, and it was super awkward and never felt right. Then my niece came over and was helping me load the pickup, she undid the brake, and rolled it out to the back of the truck, easy as can be. When it's folded, you can still push it just like a stroller and it rolls perfectly over everything! I later brought it back into the house while carrying a ton of other things, and had no problems wheeling it up on the steps and in through the door.
Basically…it's an all around amazing stroller. I really realllllly love it!

Peter Hartcher: World citizen Japan prepares for the worstJohn Garnaut: Abe speech all about the Nationa that Must Not Be NamedPolitics Live with Judith Ireland
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has used a historic address to the Australian Parliament to move the two countries closer to a strategic defence alliance in a development certain to anger Beijing.
Declaring a new Japanese "determination" to behave as a normal nation in the international sphere following a period of being "self-absorbed" on security matters, the hawkish Prime Minister stopped short of directly criticising Chinese territorial expansion.
But his speech left little doubt as to Tokyo's new activist defence posture – ditching its postwar pacifist stance – and its related desire for closer strategic co-ordination with Australia and the US.
That will no doubt fuel suspicions in Beijing that western powers are pursuing a containment strategy regarding China.
"There are many things Japan and Australia can do together by each of us joining hands with the United States, an ally for both our nations," he told the special joint sitting of Parliament.
"Japan is now working to change its legal basis for security so that we can act jointly with other countries in as many ways as possible."
In a subsequent press conference after the two leaders signed a new Economic Partnership Agreement, Mr Abe went further, however, describing the Tokyo-Beijing relationship as "one of the most important bilateral relationships" but then blaming China for a deterioration.
"The door for dialogue is always open from the Japanese side, so I do sincerely hope that the Chinese side will also take the same posture," he said.
"The fundamental position of Japan that we are keen to improve our relationship with China has been fully explained to Tony, the Prime Minister, but, however, we also discussed … China's attempts to unilaterally alter the status quo.
"China along with Japan and Australia should play a greater role for peace and prosperity in the Asia Pacific region."
He added that it was important that China "share and accept international norms and play a concerted role in the region – that is what I am hoping China will do".
Prime Minister Tony Abbott praised Japan as an "exemplary" and "model" international citizen since 1945, despite Mr Abe heralding the resumption of whaling.
Mr Abe said the recent decision by the International Court of Justice had envisaged "scientific" programs and revealed Japan would resume the practice in order to collect the "indispensable scientific information in order to manage the whale resources".
Mr Abe's comments regarding the rule of law were transparently aimed at Chinese moves in the South and East China seas where it has simmering disputes with neighbours including Vietnam and the Philippines raising fears for the future security of sea lanes.
"I believe strongly that when Japan and Australia, sharing the common values, join hands, these natural rules will become the norm for the seas of prosperity that stretch from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian," he said.
Relations between China and Japan are at a dangerously low point, and Beijing views the Australian visit as part of Japan's plan to rally its neighbours to counter China's rise.
"In everything we say and do, we must follow the law and never fall back into force and coercion," Mr Abe said. "When there are disputes, we must always use peaceful means to find solutions."
China last week hit out at Mr Abe after his cabinet endorsed a reinterpretation of a constitutional clause banning the used of armed force, except in narrowly-defined circumstances.
This diplomatic juggling act was underlined as Mr Abbott sought to reassure Beijing that the strengthening of ties with Tokyo was "not a partnership against anyone".
The two leaders signed a defence research agreement that could pave the way for Japan sharing with Australia its widely admired submarine technology as Australia prepares to shop for a successor to the ageing Collins class.
Defence Minister David Johnston said Australia wanted to strengthen the three-way defence co-operation between Australia, Japan and the US based on their "common set of democratic values and similar strategic perspectives" – another emphasis likely to irritate Beijing.

text: Today's Daily Briefing View the Archives Print Today's Stories Slowdown in health cost growth may be permanent One study suggests 'fundamental changes' have slowed down spending 11:25 AM - May 7, 2013 Email Save LinkedIn Twitter Facebook The recent slowdown in health care spending could continue even as the economy recovers from the recession, according to a pair of studies published Monday in Health Affairs. Between 2009 and 2011, total health care spending grew just 3.9%—the lowest annual rate in the past five decades, federal data show. By comparison, between 2000 and 2007, health care spending grew at an annual growth rate of between 6.2% and 9.7%. First study points to 'fundamental changes' In the first study, Harvard University researchers led by David Cutler estimated that the poor economy was responsible for about 37% of the lower spending trajectory. As a result, Cutler says economists could be overstating health spending projections over the next 10 years by as much as $770 billion. Related: Slower Medicare spending growth—'the new normal'? The study also found that Medicare spending cuts and a decline in private coverage accounted for 8% of the slowdown. The remaining 55% was linked to "fundamental changes," such as: A decline in the development and adoption of new imaging equipment and costly prescription drugs; The expiration of prescription drug patents; Increased out-of-pocket costs through high-deductible health plans; and Greater care coordination. According to Reuters, these trends could persist because one-sixth of prescription drugs will lose patent protection during the next five years and more surgeries are being done on an out-patient basis. "The evidence thus suggests at least as strong a case for structural changes as for cyclical factors" in the spending slowdown, the researchers note. Second study cites higher out-of-pocket costs, other major factors In the second study, Harvard Medical School researchers examined claims data for 10 million individuals enrolled in large employer plans. They found that higher out-of-pocket costs accounted for about 20% of the slowdown by those plans in 2010 and 2011, suggesting that much of the slowdown can be attributed to other reasons. Other major factors contributing to the slowdown included lower Medicare payment rates, slower development of new medical devices and prescription drugs, and new ways insurers are reimbursing providers, such as "bundled payments," the researchers found. Researchers: For successful bundled-payments, providers must coordinate care The researchers say that such "current trends" has given them "cautious optimism that the spending slowdown may persist." Studies counter other recent research The two studies counter recent Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) research that found the poor economy accounted for a majority of the decline in health spending, according to the Wall Street Journal. The KFF study showed that the recession and poor economic recovery accounted for 77% of the factors that contributed to the recent slowdown in national health care spending. Meanwhile, a paper by Urban Institute researchers released on Monday by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation cast doubt on whether the slowdown would last. The study said, "Health spending growth has rebounded after every major attempt at cost containment and this creates understandable skepticism that the most recent slowdown will be lasting" (Begley, Reuters, 5/6; Lowrey, New York Times, 5/6; Norman, Politico, 5/7; Rau, "Capsules," Kaiser Health News, 5/6; Wilde Mathews, Wall Street Journal, 5/6).
