Welcome to the CCMF blog, Learn Globally, Listen Locally.
As your blog host, I look forward to sharing stories, opinions, facts, myths – whether significant or irrelevant – from and about the world of music past, present, and future – a world that you are a part of. The blog title, Learn Globally, Listen Locally, especially as it relates to the Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival, will become clear as more posts are added over time.
To attempt to define "the world of music" would be as impossible as trying to define music itself. But we might try to understand it indirectly by pointing and suggesting rather than attempting to nail it down with a definition. Here are three suggestions from names you will all recognize:
The first quote is from Thomas Carlyle's series of lectures, On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History, the second is from Confucius' Analects. The third quote, the words of Beethoven, survive thanks to the correspondence, diary, and memoire of a young woman whom, accurately or not, I like to think of as history's first "flower child," Bettina von Arnim née Brentano. Her contemporaries called her Schwärmerin– dreamer, visionary, sentimentalist, zealot. She called herself Mignon, after the orphan girl in Goethe's Wilhelm Meister. She had very close relationships with Beethoven, Goethe and other major players in the Romantic Age. If she were alive today, her Facebook page would read, "Family and Relationships: It's complicated." Part of her story will be told in a blog post coming soon.

I have to chew on Confucius' distinction for a while, but Beethoven's is the most resonant description for me. We like to say in our Chorus that the music is not in the score.

Article content
The National Basketball League of Canada says it does support freedom of the press in general but is offering no apologies for the ejection of London Free Press sports reporter Morris Dalla Costa from the Windsor/London finale before the game began Tuesday.
In a press release, league commissioner Paul Riley said the Windsor Express notified Dalla Costa on Monday he would not be welcome in the building Tuesday and would not get a media pass.
Dalla Costa said he never received that notification; moreover, he received a standard media pass when he arrived at the basketball court two hours before game time Tuesday.
London Lightning manager Taylor Brown said neither he nor team owner Vito Frijia received any email saying that Dalla Costa wouldn't be welcome at the game but that any notification shouldn't have gone to the team anyhow: "They should have sent an email to The London Free Press."
Only after he tweeted during warm-up about an altercation between Express player DeAndre Thomas and London Lightning coach Micheal Ray Richardson was Dalla Costa told to leave.
His ejection has sparked a storm of protest from readers and from media, who say the move constitutes muzzling the press.
Brown said Windsor Express owner Dartis Willis told him Tuesday he didn't appreciate Dalla Costa's reporting of the series. "I said, he picked you to win (the series) and I don't see anything worse than that,' " Brown said Wednesday.
Riley offered an olive branch to Dalla Costa in the news release, saying, "I personally would welcome Mr. Dalla Costa to be my guest at the Finals game between Windsor and Charlottetown this Friday night, or have a sit down meeting with him to air issues at his convenience."
Dalla Costa said he has tried repeatedly during the past several months to have an interview with Riley and has been rebuffed each time.
Windsor defeated London in the seventh game of the grinding semifinal series.

Pregnancy demands on a woman's body cause changes to the ribs, organs, lungs, muscles, and ligaments. Ribs splay, organs get crowded and pushed together, pelvic, diaphragm and back muscles and ligaments are stretched to capacity, and her breathing becomes shallow.
To allow a baby to descend and be born requires a shift in ligamentous flexibility/tensile strength, movement of the sacrum, movement of the bladder, and often much pressure placed on the bony structures of the pelvis.
After birth, in the days, weeks, months and even years postpartum, a mother's pelvis can present as "still birthing"…meaning many of the changes that occurred in her body in order to birth her baby haven't been remedied, or 'brought back' to their resting, non-pregnant states.
A pelvic floor PT can assist mamas with stress incontinence, painful intercourse, pain in the pelvis, tight/immobile scar tissue, constipation, hemorrhoids, and much more.
Amy can see you for any of these postpartum symptoms. Often, women report rapid changes in symptoms, and many find only a few visits are necessary. Amy combines her knowledge of the physiology of birth, the "still birthing" patterns in postpartum bodies and an effective home exercise program that is achievable with your little one into her treatments.

The Nobel Assembly at Karolinksa Institute awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to three scientists who solved the mystery of how the cell organizes its transport system for molecules in small packages called vesicles. The winners are James Rothman, Randy Schekman, and Thomas Sudhof.
According to the press release, "Randy Schekman discovered a set of genes that were required for vesicle traffic. James Rothman unravelled protein machinery that allows vesicles to fuse with their targets to permit transfer of cargo. Thomas Südhof revealed how signals instruct vesicles to release their cargo with precision." Read the full press release at http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/2013/press.html.

If you are like most people today, becoming physically fit is quite the challenge and not something easy to attain. It can be hard to begin a routine when you have never exercised or had a fitness plan before. Knowledge and proper advice is crucial. These tips should help you familiarize yourself with fitness and get started with your own program.
Do you not have a lot of time for working out? Break your workout into two sessions. Don't necessarily increase your workout time, just break it in half. Instead of running for one hour, run 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. If you're not interested in two trips to the gym, get one in somewhere else you find more preferable.
Don't worry! Cycling is also a great fitness option. Riding a bike to work is not only fun but also saves money and improves your fitness level. If your work is within 5 miles of your home, it shouldn't take more than half an hour to get there, and you'll add up to an hour of cardio to your daily routine if you bike both ways!
Make sure your workouts include a variety of different exercises. This will keep you focused and motivated so you keep coming back for more every day. Also, once your muscles become acclimated to a particular set of exercises, you stop getting as much benefit from that workout.
Flexing your glutes when you do a rep is recommended when lifting weights over your head. This will help firm up your butt while helping your body to align itself better for a safer work out. Your spine is held in a much more stable position this way.
While most people seem to like the concept of working out in the morning, they're just not willing to wake up early enough to do it. N/A You can slowly acclimate yourself to a morning workout routine by adding a quick aerobic session to your morning ritual. Doing your workouts when you first get up in the morning can help you to lead a more productive day.
A kickboxing class is a great way to get fit. After participating in kickboxing, everyone can agree that is is a sweat-inducing, intense workout. Kickboxing burns massive calories while helping you gain strength.
Fitness can have more than just physical benefits. Your emotional health and outlook on life can also benefit from a fitness program. This is because exercise releases endorphins. You can improve how you view yourself by working out and giving yourself some confidence. You can think of working out as a way to being happy.
Lift weights to make yourself a better runner. Lifting weights help build strength. It's been proven that runners who also participate in frequent weight lifting enjoy improved endurance and increased speed.
Whenever you can, go outside to work. Try taking your workout outdoors, because there are lots of things you can do. These include hiking on a beautiful nature path, running on a beach or playing tennis. These activities will provide you with a good workout and can also help to clear your mind and reduce stress levels. Being outside is great for clearing your head and reducing anxiety.
Follow the advice contained in this article to develop a healthy lifestyle. It could take some getting used to, but when you start feeling better, you will see it is worth it. Being fit means that you will be healthier and happier, so get started today!

The Hohner Marine Band Harmonica – King of the Harps
Reading time: about 2 minutes.
The Hohner Marine Band Harmonica was first released in 1896, and it's changed very little in the hundred+ years since. Although it was initially used in European folk music, it was quickly picked up by American blues and early rock n' roll musicians, and it became the de facto harmonica for both these burgeoning music genres.
Over the years the Marine Band has been played to sold out stadiums by the likes of John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Butterfield, Little Walter, Neil Young, and dozens of others. Many (if not most) harmonica experts recommend the Hohner Marine Band Harmonica in the key of C as ideal for beginners, but still well and truly full-featured enough to be seen on stage around the world being played by the best in the business.
Harmonicas can be ordered in a range of keys, the Marine Band is offered in 13 keys (and tunings), and many professional players will have a case that contains 5 to 10 different harmonicas to suit all possible requirements. For players just starting out the key of C is ideal as it will match almost all of the harmonica tutorials on YouTube and elsewhere, and it has the range to be played in a wide variety of musical genres.
Hohner designed the Marine Band to last, with a double lacquered pearwood comb, 20 reeds, 0.9mm brass reedplates, and stainless steel covers. There are examples of the Marine Band that are now over 100 years old that are still in regular use.
It's possible to become a passable harmonica player with a few weeks of practice, though mastering it will obviously take years. There are thousands of free lessons available on YouTube, not to mention countless books, so it's probably the easiest (and cheapest) time in history to pick it up as an instrument.
The video below includes ample footage of the Hohner Marine Band Harmonica being played by some of the world's foremost experts, and it includes a discussion including the history of the harp, and some examples of the harmonica being used to play a wide variety of music styles.

The 2015 harvest is complete, and 2016 planting is well underway. Now is a good time for Ontario's winter wheat producers to review the outcome of last year's crop as they make decisions about Production Insurance coverage for 2016.
The great weather of late summer has continued into the fall and has provided optimal planting conditions for winter wheat. Last year's wet weather disrupted fall harvest and planting, but winter wheat acreage is expected to return to normal this year, and Agricorp expects to insure roughly 700,000 acres across the province.
Agricorp mailed Production Insurance renewal packages for 2016 to winter wheat producers in early October, and now that planting season is wrapping up, it's time to take the next step to secure coverage by reporting planted acres.
Producers can report their winter wheat acres by signing in to agricorp.com or using the new shortcut at
agricorp.com/acreage. The online reporting tool provides round-the-clock reporting convenience that lets producers submit their acreage reports anytime, anywhere. To start reporting, customers only need their Agricorp ID.
The final date to report winter wheat acres is now November 8. This date was changed last year when a number of deadlines for fall-seeded crops were adjusted to better align with advancements in winter wheat production practices.
Reporting acres on time is important for maintaining coverage, but reporting those acres accurately is important for making sure producers get, and pay for, the coverage they need. If producers report too many acres, they may pay too much premium; if they report too few acres, they may not receive the right compensation in the event of a claim. It's important to report acres on time, but also to get it right. Accurate reporting is also a requirement for participation in Production Insurance.
It's important to keep Agricorp informed. If crops are damaged, producers should contact Agricorp immediately. Staff will discuss program coverage, explain options and guide producers through the claims process.
In 2015, Agricorp insured nearly 5,000 customers with about 460,000 acres of winter wheat, worth more than $200 million in liability.
Agricorp pays winter wheat claims in September once harvest is complete, producers have reported their final yield and the floating claim price is available. For 2015, Agricorp has paid nearly $5 million for reseeding and has approved $6 million in claims to cover production loss to date.
Fixed and floating claim prices for the 2015 harvest are listed below. The fixed claim price is set at renewal time, providing a lower and set value, which provides a lower premium cost alternative to floating claim price. The floating claim price is set after harvest using market prices from July and August, and is designed to compensate customers at current market prices.
For more information about claim prices, visit the Production Insurance section on agricorp.com.

The 6 best cars from one of the most competitive segments of the market.
When electric cars first started gathering attention about 5 years ago, it's fair to say that not everybody was convinced.

There are plenty of EVs with 250+ mile range, gorgeous aesthetics that are a riot to drive. Today we're listing the 6 electric cars that you need to pay attention to in 2020.

Is $25 per Month worth the Price of a Christian Bilingual Education?
Promise of God Inc. is a 501c U.S. Charity. Its staff is entirely voluntary with no payment of salaries or compensation whatsoever. This enables us to maximally affect the poorest nations on earth such as Nicaragua with extremely low operating costs.
Our current calling is to save 50 Mt. Zion Christian Bilingual School students from losing their K-6 School in Somoto, Nicaragua. The government there has suddenly decided to close all schools (especially private Christian schools) who do not maintain at least 100 students. Nicaraguan Public schools offer neither Bible study nor English as a second language. Somoto is the poorest city in the second poorest nation in our hemisphere.
With your help we are providing scholarships to fifty additional students in order to meet new government requirements and keep Mount Zion School open. Due to currency exchange rates and our low operating costs, we are able to do this for only $25 USD per month per student (tax-deductible).
Simply enter your method of payment through our secure PushPay server along with the amount you will contribute each month ($25 per child). You will electronically receive your first photographs, reports, and hand-written note from your sponsored students within ninety days. Next year we will be offering sponsoring families opportunities to visit their students in Somoto."

Strong atmosphere-hydrology-biosphere feedbacks including human activity affect the rate and sign of changes in the Earth's system and have impacts on socioeconomic relationships. These processes are related to atmospheric circulation, climate and land use changes. Satellite-based and in situ monitoring systems have greatly increased our understanding of variations and changes occurring in the regional climate, atmospheric regime, land cover and water circulation. Coupled numerical models are invoked to describe features, which cannot be caught by observation systems or to predict a future state.
This book summarizes the state-of-the-art researches on land cover, atmosphere and water resources of the Eastern Europe region, sets up priorities of major researches in these fields, outlines deficiencies in data and their processing, and develops recommendations for further research directions. Selected papers of the Non-Boreal Eastern Europe NEESPI meeting cover five topics:

Breast augmentation and breast lift surgeries are among the most popular procedures at my practice in Columbia, MO and all over the nation, with hundreds of thousands of women choosing them each year. Many women are unsatisfied with the look of their breasts, but until they become patients of a qualified plastic surgeon, they are not sure what they can do about it.
Let's take a look at what each procedure accomplishes and how to know whether you are a candidate:
- Breast augmentation: This option uses saline or silicone breast implants to boost the size of the breasts. Many of my patients have always felt that they wanted larger breasts for a more feminine, hourglass figure. Others lose volume in their breasts after childbirth or weight loss and choose breast augmentation to restore them to a larger size. If you want larger breasts, this procedure may benefit you.
- Breast lift: This procedure is intended to correct breast sagging, which is common after pregnancy and weight loss but is also simply an effect of aging. Skin stretches with time, and a breast lift can remove excess skin to reposition the breasts to a higher position and perkier shape. Although every woman is different, a good rule of thumb to determine whether you would benefit from a breast lift is if your breasts have sagged below the fold under your breasts or if your nipples are pointing downward.
It is also becoming more common these days for patients to combine breast lift and augmentation into a single operation to achieve both perkier and larger breasts. This route can have nice results, but it is not the best choice for everyone.
Any time you combine procedures, the risk of complications increases. The primary concern when combining these procedures is that they involve competing forces. The breast lift reduces the breast and skin envelope at the same time breast implants are expanding the envelope, putting increased pressure on the tissue.
That said, a study of more than 300 combined procedures concluded that when patients were carefully screened, combining augmentation with a breast lift could be safely done and create nice results. Good candidates for combining a breast lift with augmentation are in good overall health and don't smoke. Many of my patients considering the combined procedure have had children and aren't planning to become pregnant again. Another important consideration is that the patient should be interested in only a modest increase in breast size, because larger implants will put more strain on the breast lift.
As you can see in these before-and-after photos, the results of combining procedures can be dramatic and impressive. This 45-year-old woman chose to undergo a tummy tuck in addition to a breast lift and breast augmentation.
The choice of having either a breast lift or breast augmentation — or both — is personal. The key is consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience performing both procedures and who keeps your best interest at heart.

How Smoking Affects Osteoporosis
Smoking affects your bones. When you smoke, you put yourself at risk for a condition that causes loss of bone mass. The name of the condition is osteoporosis (OSS-tee-oh-por-OH-sis). When bones lose mass, they weaken, and weak bones can easily break (fracture).
Q: What makes bones strong?
A: Bone is a living organ made from several substances. Collagen (CALL-uh-jen) forms the framework of the bone. The mineral calcium is deposited into this framework. For bones to grow strong and stay strong, they need calcium. Inside our bones, a constant process of renewal
goes on. Some cells in the bone are called osteoclasts (OSS-tee-oh-klasts). Their job is to break down old bone. Just as fast, other cells use calcium to build up new bone. These cells are called osteoblasts (OSS-tee-oh blasts). This process of renewal helps to keep our bones healthy and strong.
Q: How does smoking affect my bones?
A: Smoking reduces the amount of calcium your bones absorb. Vitamin D helps bones to absorb calcium, but smoking interferes with how your body uses vitamin D. Less calcium is then available to build strong bones. As a result, your bones start to get brittle. Smoking lowers estrogen levels in both men and women. Estrogen is important because it helps the bones to hold calcium and other minerals that make them strong. At menopause, a woman's body makes much less estrogen, and this puts her naturally at risk for osteoporosis. Smoking increases her risk even more. To hold calcium, the bones also need help from weight-bearing exercise, such as walking. Smokers, however, tend to get less exercise than non-smokers do. Smoking
is also toxic to osteoblasts (bone forming cells).
Q: How does smoking increase the risk of osteoporosis?
A: Smoking during your bone-building years makes your bone mass peak at a lower level. This puts you at risk for osteoporosis in later years. Smoking after age 30 speeds up your loss of bone mass — it occurs 1.5 to 2 times faster. Your whole body loses bone mass, but the hip, spine, and wrist are the most affected. The more you smoke, the greater your risk for osteoporosis.
Q: Do both male and female smokers increase their risk for osteoporosis?
A: Yes. Osteoporosis risk is 2.5 times greater for male and female smokers than for non-smokers. Both male and female smokers have lower bone mineral density than non-smokers of the same age and sex. The bone mineral content of female smokers is 15 to 30 percent less than that of non-smokers. The bone mineral content of male smokers is 10 to 20 percent less than that of non-smokers.
Q: Are any bones more at risk for a fracture among smokers?
A: Yes. The hips and spine are especially at risk for a fracture when you smoke. Smokers have 2 to 4 times more risk than non-smokers of a hip fracture linked to osteoporosis. Smokers also have greater risk for fractures of the spine.
Q: Can I smoke and use medicine to prevent osteoporosis?
A: If you take estrogen to increase your bone density to prevent osteoporosis, smoking will reduce the drug's ability to work.
Q: Does second-hand smoke have any effect on my bones?
A: Breathing second-hand smoke affects your bones the same way that smoking does.
Q: If I quit smoking, will it help my bones?
A: You eliminate one of the causes of osteoporosis when you quit smoking

Whitening and impaired glucose utilization of brown adipose tissue in a rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (2017)
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an attractive therapeutic target to combat diabetes and obesity due to its ability to increase glucose expenditure. In a genetic rat model (ZDF fa/fa) of type-2 diabetes and obesity, we aimed to investigate glucose utilization of BAT by \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET imaging. Male Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) and Male Zucker lean (ZL) control rats were studied at 13 weeks. Three weeks prior to imaging, ZDF rats were randomized into a no-restriction (ZDF-ND) and a mild calorie restriction (ZDF-CR) group. Dynamic \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET using a dedicated small animal PET system was performed under hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET identified intense inter-scapular BAT glucose uptake in all ZL control rats, while no focally increased \(^{18}\)F-FDG uptake was detected in all ZDF-ND rats. Mild but significant improved BAT tracer uptake was identified after calorie restriction in diabetic rats (ZDF-CR). The weight of BAT tissue and fat deposits were significantly increased in ZDF-CR and ZDF-ND rats as compared to ZL controls, while UCP-1 and mitochondrial concentrations were significantly decreased. Whitening and severely impaired insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in BAT was confirmed in a rat model of type-2 diabetes. Additionally, calorie restriction partially restored the impaired BAT glucose uptake.
Targeting CXCR4 with [\(^{68}\)Ga]Pentixafor: a suitable theranostic approach in pleural mesothelioma? (2017)
C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is a key factor for tumor growth and metastasis in several types of human cancer. This study investigated the feasibility of CXCR4-directed imaging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using [\(^{68}\)Ga]Pentixafor in malignant pleural mesothelioma. Six patients with pleural mesothelioma underwent [\(^{68}\)Ga]Pentixafor-PET/CT. 2′-[\(^{18}\)F]fluoro-2′-deoxy-D-glucose ([\(^{18}\)F]FDG)-PET/CT (4/6 patients) and immunohistochemistry obtained from biopsy or surgery (all) served as standards of reference. Additionally, 9 surgical mesothelioma samples were available for histological work-up. Whereas [\(^{18}\)F]FDG-PET depicted active lesions in all patients, [\(^{68}\)Ga]Pentixafor-PET/CT recorded physiologic tracer distribution and none of the 6 patients presented [\(^{68}\)Ga]Pentixafor-positive lesions. This finding paralleled results of immunohistochemistry which also could not identify relevant CXCR4 surface expression in the samples analyzed. In contrast to past reports, our data suggest widely absence of CXCR4 expression in pleural mesothelioma. Hence, robust cell surface expression should be confirmed prior to targeting this chemokine receptor for diagnosis and/or therapy.

Website hosting providers will allow business owners to host their website on the internet. You should compare different services and select a good one before subscribing. The article below offers tips that can help you when picking the company you want to host your website.
You should choose your host based on more than a few recommendations. If you rely on the recommendation of only one or two people, your chances for making a mistake are much greater. Perhaps those people have limited experience with websites and hosting or they have some kind of affiliation with the web page hosting service they are recommending.
It goes without saying that you should avoid web hosts that have continual outages. Companies that have many outages, but make excuses for each outage are not reliable, as they have obviously not made any plans to prevent or shorten lengthy outages. Frequent downtime demonstrates a poor business model, so it's best you do not commit to this company.
Ask any potential web host what type of security system they have in place to protect your website. These days, attacks are often launched against websites, and many threats are always present. Ask if the host you are using has protected themselves, and you from attacks that will cause harm, including DDoS threats. You should know what is the risk for your site in case your host is attacked.
Website hosting service charges can be related to the amount of traffic that is coming to your website. Learn how your host bills customers. Some companies charge flat rates for service along a scale, wherein your site moves up a category as you pull in more traffic. Other hosts simply adjust your monthly rate depending upon how much traffic you experienced.
Don't choose a website hosting service just because the company doesn't charge you for hosting. Most free hosts require your site to carry ads. This means you don't have any control over the ads that are displayed. The presence of banner ads also gives your website an unprofessional appearance.
Try and find an online host that uses the cPanel control scheme. Control panels allow you to easily and quickly install popular features on your website. These applications are usually very intuitive and user-friendly to install. It also makes managing your website much quicker and easier.
As previously stated, web hosting is necessary for sites online. Shop smartly for a web page hosting service or you will regret any hasty decision later on. The hints and tips you've been given can help you choose a web page hosting service that is both reliable and affordable.

Cultural institutions in San Francisco continually search for new acquisitions. Alexis Coe brings you the most important, often wondrous, sometimes bizarre, and occasionally downright vexing finds each week.
In one painting, a nude man poses as a reclining odalisque, a female slave in an Ottoman seraglio. In another, a man's bare back meets the viewer as he directs his attention to five male companions. Sylvia Sleigh (1916-2010) had no problem challenging art history in her paintings, exposing traditional themes as stereotypical at best, and degrading at worst. Women had too often been "painted as objects of desire in humiliating poses," Sleigh once said. "I don't mind the 'desire' part, it's the 'object' part that's not very nice."
Sleigh's subjects were no gods of antiquity favored in Renaissance art, but rather their human counterparts, resplendent with body hair and contemporary apparel. By inserting the male figure into the traditional female role in the 1970s, Sleigh criticized traditional gender roles.
Many of Sleigh's works, however, sought to equalize the genders on canvas. One such example, Lawrence and Susanna Delagado in an interior (1968) was exhibited in November at the SOMArts Gallery, to be placed at a Bay Area cultural institution upon the show's conclusion. Sleigh's estate tasked the Women's Caucus for Art with placing the oil painting, and group president Janice Nesser-Chu contacted Dr. Stephanie Hanor, the director of the Mills College Art Museum.
Mills College, founded in 1852, was the first women's college west of the Rockies. Located in the Oakland foothills, the college has a history of supporting women artists, and art history professor Moira Roth is well-known for her dedication to teaching feminist art history.
Despite the college's longstanding commitment to mentoring female art historians and studio artists, the museum had no pieces by the Welsh-born figurative painter in the collection, a lacuna that Hanor was happy to remedy upon receiving Nesser-Chu's call. Scholars and visitors will certainly benefit by the acquisition, but Hanor believes Mills students will see the painting "as an example of how artists can use their work to forward political views and question historical traditions in art."
Indeed, that is exactly what Sleigh's estate had in mind.
"Sylvia was always worried that she would donate her works and they would go straight to a storage facility," her close friend, Douglas John, recalled during a recent interview. John, who lives in New York, is also concerned with the educational component inherent in Sleigh's work, and he was happy to hear that art students at Mills were already visiting the painting, actively debating all the challenges it presents and its greater place in art history.
In Lawrence and Susanna Delagado in an interior, Sleigh paints two figures in her own living room on West 20th Street in New York City.
"This isn't a grand portrait meant to immortalize its sitters," Hanor explains, pointing out the "wonderful awkwardness" depicted, including an exposed sock and an odd chair. "It conveys a sense of the everyday and the ordinary," she continues, "which in itself is a play on the traditional history of portrait painting."
And yet, the man and woman in the painting are themselves famous. Sleigh's second husband, Lawrence Alloway (1926-1990) was an influential art critic and senior curator at the Guggenheim Museum from 1961 to 1966. He sits with Argentinean printmaker Susanna Delgado.
While the two figures are presented as equals, it is hard to believe that was the reality. According to Hanor, this was the painter's intent.
"Even though in his role as curator of a major contemporary art museum Alloway has significant power in this relationship with a Latin American artist, Sleigh depicts them as peers and as ordinary human beings," Hanor says.
As a recent acquisition, the painting has yet to be on display, but it is available to students and visitors upon request. Hanor hopes to have it on view soon. In the meantime, the museum is digitizing its collection, and Hanor expects that "the painting will be seen virtually in the larger context of our holdings."
The Mills College Art Museum is at 5000 MacArthur Boulevard (at Buell), Oakland. Admission is free.

Curtis Lee Mayfield
Digitally remastered
Curtis Lee Mayfield
made his first recordings in 1958 as a member of a Chicago Soul/R & B group, The Impressions. He was 16, from the city's notorious Cabrini Green Housing Projects. He was strictly a backup singer with the group – no guitar, no production, no songwriting. This would change, and sooner than later.
Mayfield made his last recording, "New World Order," in 1995 after four decades of hit making as a solo artist, producer, composer and as a symbol for Black Pride and Black Capitalism within the music industry. Mayfield's last go round in the studio was an example of courage and will. Paralyzed following an on stage accident, he recorded one line of a song at a time, lying on his back to allow his diaphragm to work and breath to get into his lungs.
"He broke his back but not his spirit," says his widow Altheida Mayfield.
The music that surrounded and informed Curtis Mayfield, born 1942, at an early age came via his grandmother's Travelling Soul Spiritualists' Church, Gospel music and the rich mother lode that was Chicago's electric blues scene. A guitar, discovered at age seven in a closet in the small apartment where he lived with his mother and seven siblings, changed everything. He played some piano but the guitar was different, very personal. "…like another me," he said. Mayfield literally transferred his piano knowledge to his new instrument. Childhood friend, singer Jerry Butler noted: "He used to love playing boogie woogie on the piano and he learned to play that in F sharp which meant he was playing all the black keys. That's how he came about his unique sound on the guitar because he tuned it that way." Mayfield used his eccentric open F sharp tuning for the rest of his career. He also became proficient on bass, drums and saxophones.
It was now evident that Mayfield's future was music, his way out of poverty. Over family objections, he dropped out of high school, joining The Roosters, a group led by Jerry Butler. The name quickly became the more commercial The Impressions. Butler has observed: "There's something called the Chicago Soul sound that began in the late Fifties. The Impressions pioneered that… and Curtis was the heart of The Impressions"; but not at first…
Chicago's soul music, evolving in the 1960s, had its roots in gospel music, laid back and melody focused ("soft soul" is another term for the style). Horns and strings and high flying harmonies were part of it.
The first Impressions hit "For Your Precious Love" had Butler as co-writer and lead singer. The single hit the R & B charts and, more importantly for a black group, the pop charts. Butler, getting most of the credit, immediately went solo.
This was a good thing for Mayfield, allowing him his first taste of control and responsibility. He held the group together as lead singer, producer and writer and in 1961 the revamped Impressions had its first Mayfield-era hit, "Gypsy Woman." For the rest of the decade the group remained hot with 14 Top 10 hits including an amazing run of five Top 20 songs in 1964 alone - the year that The Beatles arrived to give a hard time to everyone.
Mayfield perfected the group's singular upper register work and himself remained devoted to the falsetto rather than the more usual model range. Johnny Pate, a jazz musician who worked with The Impressions, remembered its effect: "The group went into some high falsetto harmonic things that were really unheard of. Nobody had done it before. The amazing part was it's all in tune, in perfect harmony, in tune…"
The business plan of black popular music in the 1960s was governed by dance music and love songs. But Mayfield had ideas that would place his music on a different track. Outside the recording world, Black America faced Civil Rights, inner city poverty, drug use and abuse and, unprompted, Mayfield addressed these matters the only way he knew how, through his music, a provocative step that turned him into a musical force for change in the Black community. Singer Mavis Staples (of the Staples Singers) defined this transformation: "[Curtis] had a long history of writing wonderful love songs that made you want to dance slow to in the basement. And then, all of a sudden, he went and wrote some of the best message songs that could be out there."
Mayfield was angry over the disorder affecting his America but his music was delivered in a singular, subtle and intelligent way, layered with Gospel, R & B and soul, served Chicago style. Calling Mayfield "a giant of gentleness," singer Sinead O'Connor observed that his music "used love and encouragement, not anger, to say important things." Mayfield's voice, aimed at the mainstream audience, could moderate any hostility in the lyric without destroying its significance. The message was for the people, not the radical. "These songs were an example of what has lain in my subconscious for years… the issues of what concerned me as a young black man….," Mayfield said. And politics apart, Mayfield still wanted his chart hits.
In 1964 The Impressions had its biggest hit to date with the Mayfield song, "Keep on Pushing" which established him as one of the first R & B singer-songwriters to bring social commentary to the pop charts. Other "anthems" followed: "People Get Ready," "We're A Winner"; all hit songs but with a life away from the charts. Martin Luther King Jr. made "Ready" and "Pushing" unofficial anthems for the Movement. A State Senator named Barack Obama gave the Keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention. The music that brought him onstage was "Pushing." "People Get Ready" has been recorded by over 100 artists, bringing royalties to the composer, the kind of homage businesslike Mayfield appreciated. He said this song "came from my church. I must have been in a very deep mood of that type of religious inspiration when I wrote that song." "We're a Winner" (1967) was stronger in its lyrics, so much so that some radio stations would not play it during that year's rioting.
Mayfield was uncomfortable when people called him "The Preacher" or "The Reverend" because of his new music, remaining modest and clear eyed about it, "I'm an entertainer first," he often stated. Through my way of writing I was capable of being able to say these things and yet not make a person feel as though they're being preached at."
Mayfield was now moonlighting as producer for Okeh Records working with Major Lance, Gene Chandler and other chart names. In 1968 he started Curtom Records. Here he was in control of his recording, song publishing and recording studio. Control was important to Mayfield as he told Jerry Butler: "I just want to own as much of me as possible.'" The high school dropout knew how to take care of business and the present day music industry is notable for African American recording stars in charge of business enterprises - Jay Z., Kanye West, Dr. Dre, P. Diddy, Russell Simmons, etc. – can be traced back to Mayfield. He showed that successful Black Capitalism was possible, perhaps necessary.
The 1970s began and so did another transformative move for Mayfield – going to the movies. The period of "Blaxploitation" movies had started, films quickly produced, low budget and beamed to a black inner city audiences. They needed the right music on the soundtrack. At this time there was a not-exactly-unspoken question in Hollywood, "Can African Americans write film music?" Mayfield answered: "We showed that you didn't need a room the size of a football field to lay music in. You didn't have to be a Henry Mancini." (He was now recording in a tiny demo. producing studio bought from RCA Records in Chicago).
"Super Fly" was a Blaxploitation movie, full of drugs, violence, and badass culture. Someone thought Mayfield's soul funk grooves ideal for the soundtrack. That someone was not Mayfield who was no fan of the movie's characters or plot… until he saw a way to subvert them. Altheida Mayfield says: "Curtis thought 'Super Fly' was a commercial to sell cocaine." Songs for "Super Fly" came out and ran counterpoint to onscreen action – "Freddie's Dead," "Super Fly" (both million selling singles) , "Pusherman," "Little Child Runnin' Wild". These songs would show up decades later; the Generation R(ap) discovered the art of sampling.
The Impressions' "Super Fly" album became an instant classic of 1970s soul and funk, a rare example of a soundtrack outselling the movie and, along with Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, Mayfield had introduced soul funk music that also said something, a groove that was socially aware. Movie work now took up much of Mayfield's time – Gladys Knight and the Pips (the film "Claudine"), Aretha Franklin ("Sparkle"), Staple Singers ("Let's Do It Again"), Mavis Staples ("A Piece of the Action"). "Short Eyes" had a 1977 hit for Mayfield himself.
By 1980 Mayfield had moved, with his family of six children, from Chicago to Atlanta, effectively bringing the Chicago Soul era to a close. His career was that of writer/producer for himself and other artists. He toured the U.S. Japan and Europe, especially Britain. Mayfield even revisited "Super Fly" in 1990 with "Super Fly 1990," new songs and collaboration between Mayfield and Ice T. The rappers were finding Mayfield a major influence.
Then came August 13, 1990 and tragedy. Mayfield arrived for a Brooklyn, NY. concert sound check. On a rain swept afternoon, high winds toppled a lighting rig. He was trapped underneath, his spine crushed in three places, paralyzing him from the neck down. He was now wheelchair bound. If he had little control over his body though, he still controlled his career. Slowly at first, some strength returned but it was four years before he sang again in public. This was enough to convince him he should get back to recording. The result was his last album, "New World Order," his last great song, "Here but I'm Gone," original music recorded in his home studio under great pressure.
But Mayfield's physical condition now truly began to deteriorate - diabetes forced the amputation of his right leg – and he died, December 26, 1999. Following his death, any number of tributes were mounted, accolades given. But the real tribute lay in the lasting power of the work he left behind, still being discovered and played by each new generation.
This album contains no booklet.

Hi there,
Fake Slap! has been suspended on Google Play for violation of their violence policy. After a month on the store and three updates. WTF??!!
We received this cold automatic little email and the game was off the store in a heartbeat:
Hi Developers at Mooi Studios,
After review, Fake Slap!, com.mooistudios.FakeSlap, has been suspended and removed from Google Play as a policy strike because it violates the violence policy.
Next Steps
- Read through the Violence policy for more details and examples of policy violations.
- Make sure your app is compliant with all policies listed in the Developer Program Policies. Remember additional enforcement could occur if there are further policy issues with your apps.
- If it's possible to bring your app into compliance, you can sign in to your Developer Console and submit the policy compliant app using a new package name and a new app name.
Additional suspensions of any nature may result in the termination of your developer account, and investigation and possible termination of related Google accounts. If your account is terminated, payments will cease and Google may recover the proceeds of any past sales and/or the cost of any associated fees (such as chargebacks and transaction fees) from you.
If you've reviewed the policy and feel this suspension may have been in error, please reach out to our policy support team. One of my colleagues will get back to you within 2 business days.
The Google Play Review Team
This is of course fucking ridiculous. Have noticed that they have games like GTA Vice City on their store?? Or other Trump games where, for example, Obama shoots him in the end? After reading the violence policy 50 times I am 1 million percent certain that we have not violated any policy of theirs (I read all of the others just in case). Their violence policy refers to seriously violent violence. Like showing people how to make bombs or kill themselves. Our game is harmless cartoony satire meant to make people laugh (there isn't even any blood!).
We assume a Trump supporter flagged our game because he didn't like it, and that set the automatic wheels of Google Play in motion. The idea that one little bored troll (or a handful of them) can cause such immense and immediate damage to Google Play developers is beyond ridiculous and very very troubling. Why would anyone want to work on a game for months (or years) only to have it removed with no actual cause and barely any chance to reverse the decision? And potentially get your whole Google Developer account suspended? What ever happened to Google's old motto "Don't do evil"? Power and money corrupt them all it seems (those who know me already know what I think about what Apple has become…).
We of course appealed the suspension, but it has been 6 days and no answer yet (In their subsequent automatic email sent they claimed we will get an answer in 72 hours). We are gutted of course, but really hoping that some human is going to read our petition and see how utterly ridiculous this is.
But in the meantime, you can still get the game on the App Store and on Amazon. AMAZING that Apple is turning out easier to work with than Google. Who would have thought??
Hope to have an update soon,
Update: Google replied after two weeks. No luck. They are sticking to their guns and not willing to provide any further information, despite our attempts at further clarifying the situation. Here is a copy of the emails:
Hi Oscar,After further review, your app will not be reinstated because it violates violence provisions of the Content Policy:Our policy states:
- Violence and Bullying: Depictions of gratuitous violence are not allowed. Apps should not contain materials that threaten, harass or bully other users.If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
Kind regards,JohnThe Google Play Team
Our reply:
Hi John,We find this decision very unfair and arbitrary. We read the policies before we started developing the game and re-read it many more times since you suspended the app. And we still don't believe this game poses any violation to any of them. Or at least not more than hundreds of other games of similar characteristics that are currently available through your store."Punch The Trump" for example, has the exact same theme as ours and is way more violent, including blood, more realistic graphics and Obama shooting Trump dead towards the end. And yet this game is available in Google Play and it seems to comply with the violence provisions of the policy. There are also plenty of other examples of games with very graphic depictions of violence like "Grand Theft Auto" that seem to comply.This whole process has made a great deal of damage to our business and we can't risk publishing a new version of the app because we clearly don't understand the way you are interpreting this policy. We would greatly appreciate if you reconsider, or could clarify why our game doesn't comply with the violence provisions of the policy as opposed to the ones mentioned above.Otherwise you're pretty much killing this project and we'll have to think twice before starting any other development for your platform.Thanks.

Sometimes it takes awhile for things to sink in through my skull. WordPress added post revisions back in version 2.6. So after months of seeing those post revisions listed, and those messages about there being a newer version than what I had posted I decided to do something about them.
Since it's introduction I haven't used the post revision feature so the decision to turn it off was a no-brainer. This is done by adding the following line to the wp-config.php file:
define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false);
This doesn't delete the existing post revisions but since that requires touching the MySQL database I decided to wait until I had a backup and the time to restore if things went bad.
I finally had the time this weekend I removed the old revisions. The information came from Andrei Neceulau and his instructions for removing the revisions in WordPress 2.6. While others have posted queries that remove the post revisions themselves, Andrei has a query that also removes the meta data for those posts.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to leave the old post revisions in the database, but I don't like the idea of this useless data clogging my database. As for the revision feature itself, I guess it could be useful in some cases but certainly not for me.

The release date for Ubuntu 14.10 has now been firmed up as are the other development milestones leading up to the mid-October debut of this post-LTS release.
Ubuntu 14.10, which is codenamed the Utopic Unicorn, is currently penciled in to ship on 16 October. For meeting a 16 October release goal, Ubuntu 14.10 is planning the first alpha for opt-in flavors in late June, the second alpha in late July, the Debian import freeze on 7 August, the feature freeze on 21 August, and the beta freeze on 28 August. The UI freeze will come on 11 September, documentation string freeze on 18 September, and the final beta on 25 September. The kernel freeze for Ubuntu 14.10 is due for 2 October and the final freeze ands release candidate on 9 October.
Ubuntu 14.10 should be a rather exciting cycle for new developments given its post-LTS status, a big focus on convergence and Unity 8 with Mir, early systemd integration, and many other changes planned for development over the next six months.
The latest official Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" release schedule can be found via the Ubuntu Wiki.

I am so behind. I don't think I'll try to catch up on everything. This past week has been so much fun, full of camping. I'll break it into two sections. Wallace & Sant.
WALLACE: La Wis Wis Campground, Mt. Rainer.
We had originally planned on going to the Wenatchee National Forest, Monday through Thursday to camp with the Wallace family. Unfortunately there has been, and still is, a massive fire. The parks and even some highways are closed, people being evacuated. So sad, but we were determined to go camping since Nathan and Ben, his dad had taken off the week from work.
We found La Wis Wis campground, near Mt. Rainer. We looked up reviews and photos and it looked beautiful!
|Here's a picture I grabbed from google. Just gorgeous!
We arrived Monday afternoon, set up camp and made tin foil dinners with corn on the cob over the fire. The campground is gorgeous with tons of old growth and the river just across the road. We walked around and found the bathroom. Totally had a flushing toilet AND running water. SCORE!
That night we tried making campfire cones and talked around the fire. The next morning it was rainy until about 10am. So we hung out in our tents. We went into Mt. Rainer National Forest to do the Grove of the Patriarchs trail and Silver Falls. Unfortunately, they didn't allow dogs on the trail. Nathan and I sat at a picnic table while the rest of the Wallace Fam went to the Grove of the Patriarchs. We were planning on them watching Ruby when they got back so we could do it too. But by the time they got back, it was raining. So we went to try and find where Angela was wanting to do some Trail Riding. We drove into Packwood and nobody knew what we were talking about. So we just got some firewood and headed back. Nathan and I made a peach raspberry cobbler for Lenise's birthday. After dinner, it started raining so we got into bed early. It rained hard all night, and in the morning there was an awesome thunderstorm and the rain continued. The decision was made to pack up and head home. It wasn't supposed to clear up until the weekend, and we were leaving Thursday anyways.
We packed up in the rain. It was so crazy! We were running around like chickens with their heads chopped off. We crammed everything into the van and our car and off we went. We stopped in Yakima at Miners and had a well deserved veggie burger and curly fries. (Yes, Miners does have veggie burgers.)
After we had arrived home, set up the tents to let them air out, unzipped the sleeping bags and laid them in the grass…it started to rain in Richland. Really? Yes. So we scrambled again and got everything broken back down in the garage or the house. It was a wet, but fun time!
|The Tube
|Getting ready to cook dinner
|So green & tall
|Off to go fishing!
|This was our Wednesday
SANT: Cougar, Washington
My sister Darcey has a friend, who has a cabin. This is where we went. It was amazing that all my family was able to make it (Except Aaron. And Zach had just gotten home from school the day before). We set up our tents in the field around the cabin. The weather was quite different. Sunshine. My parents rented a truck and we rode with them. It was cozy, but it was fun.
|At a rest stop near Hood River.
|Falls Creek Falls Hike. ( Zach's finger blockage)
|So pretty!
|Arlo and I
We all had a good time over the weekend. Heidi, Nathan and I even found some bear scat when we were walking our dogs. Although, I kind of wish it was Sasquatch poop since Mt. St. Helens area is famous for sightings. We did however find 3 snakes AND two salamanders..maybe they were newts. **ATTENTION ANNE: SKIP THE NEXT PHOTO**
|Zach, always finding critters
|Jamison with the salamander
On our way back, we did a big loop. So we went around St. Helens, and then up to Rainer. It took us awhile, but it was a really pretty drive. We found another waterfall "hike". There was a sign that said Iron Falls 500 Ft. They really did mean 500 feet. It was down a path and BAM you felt like you were in the middle of the forest. There was a gorgeous waterfall, fallen trees, and crystal clear water.
|Mt. St. Helens. This is straight off Zach's cell phone. No edits. Isn't this awesome?
|The view from Iron Falls. (I'm standing on the log in the middle of the stream)
|We had our lunch by Iron Creek Falls
|Mt. Rainer
Looking at these pictures again, made me think of the following hymn. I am so grateful that our Heavenly Father has created such a beautiful place for us to live.

integrity and ethics.
Its been awhile since I have posted, sometimes life is very full.
While I was reading my morning fill of news, a story on NPR noted a 'needed change' in training programs on sexual assault as current programming is not working. That, of course, got me thinking.
Should concern just about sexual assault training be reevaluated? Or is there more? What assumptions are being made why said training is needed? Then fate intervened (with the help of a Google search) &I found this article on Integrity (key words noted: Honest, Trust, Authentic, Value Others, Accountable). If the 13 traits of integrity mentioned in the article exist within a person, you have
FREEDOM--you have nothing to fear since you have nothing to hide. Sounds pretty Rock Star to me. What if you found other like minded people & you all worked together in an organization? Even better--the organization would have a grounded bedrock purpose & guiding credo.
Many times, society has little regard for whose in Real Estate, & the profession is seen as lacking integrity. It does not have to be that way, individuals and companies choose how to act--both consciously and subconsciously. Its 'talk the talk' and 'walk the walk' time for many organizations, and Real Estate is no different. Integrity is a mindset choice; one with long-term outcomes. Choose wisely.
Hi, I am Summer, real estate agent in NE Iowa. This blog is about life, of which Real Estate is a part of. Happy reading!

Semi-related: the AES has released preliminary guidelines for OTT and streaming applications.
On the topic of loudness:
1. For delivery of OTT and OVD content, where the distribution system supports loudness control metadata, loudness metadata should be encoded in the content bitstream reflecting the value of the measured loudness of the content.1, 2, 3 Where there is no prior arrangement by the parties regarding loudness, the appropriate broadcast regional content delivery and exchange loudness value recommendation, typically –24 LKFS, –23 LUFS, should be followed.
2. For delivery of OTT and OVD content without loudness metadata or where metadata support by the distribution system is not present or is uncertain:
For delivery of content to devices capable of full dynamic range, the content should be prepared using the regional broadcast loudness standard for full range devices.
For delivery of content to devices with limited dynamic range and for use cases with expected limited dynamic range, it may be necessary to pre-process content prior to encoding to accommodate devices with limited dynamic range and loudness management capabilities. In this case, average content loudness should never exceed –16 LKFS, –16 LUFS.
If the employed distribution format supports the carriage of loudness metadata, loudness metadata should be encoded in the content bitstream reflecting the value of the measured loudness of the content.

Live Wire! 196: Kurt Andersen, Maria Semple, musical guest David BazanKurt Andersen, Maria Semple, musical guest David Bazan
This episode was originally taped at a live show on October 13, 2012 - Wordstock Extravaganza VIII
Download Podcast
Wordstock Extravaganza VIII, featuring:
Kurt Andersen - is a prolific novelist, screenwriter and guy-about-town-who-writes-a-lot-of-things. Seriously, he's written three novels (Turn of the Century, Heyday and most recently True Believers), essays, op-eds and shorter works, not to mention the fact that he founded the wonderfully satirical Spy Magazine back in the 80's. He's also the host and co-creator of Studio 360.
Maria Semple - is the author of This One is Mine, "a compassionate and wickedly funny satire" and most recently Where'd You Go, Bernadette, "a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius." She's also an Emmy Nominated TV writer for shows such as Ellen, Mad About You and was a consulting producer on Arrested Development.
Musical guest - David Bazan - is a Seattle-based singer/songwriter and former lead singer of indie powerhouse Pedro the Lion. The last time he was on Live Wire he pretty much killed it (in the good way) and this time should be no exception. His current Control tour finds him playing Pedro's 2002 album of the same name.

This gravity weighted blanket by Isla has an inner layer that made of 100% premium breathable cotton and its small compartments are filled with hypo-allergenic, non-toxic, odorless, glass beads which are evenly distributed in each compartment. The glass beads are quiet when you turn over and it's not bumpy like plastic pellets weighted blanket. The weighted inner layer is machine-washable on a low, gentle setting. Recommend dry-clean. A better option is to purchase a removable duvet cover for easier cleaning. The weighted inner layer and the duvet cover are sold separately.
A good gift for you and your loved ones. The heavy blanket helps relax the nerve system by simulating the feeling of being held or hugged and make you fall asleep fast and sleep better. It provides great sleep therapy for people with anxiety, autism, ADHD, insomnia or stress. It also helps people with sleeping problem due to other reasons.

our ° mission
When team isla° first began the journey, they promised themselves and those they loved that making a difference in the world would be the biggest achievement they could ever possibly outlay. Established in 2012, the team has managed to keep this promise . In that inaugural year team isla° vowed that for every 50 isla° sets sold, they would give one weighted set away to those they felt would be incapable of purchasing the set, yet would get the best/most use out of the set. They vowed that they would start local in Atlanta, GA and eventually spread outward, US nationwide. They would continue you the trend globally and share the memories of this vow with family, friends and devoted customers. The goal was to reach 10,000 set giveaways by the year 2040. Support team isla° in reaching this goal so it can bring on more challenging goals in the future!
