David Stork Uses Science to See a World of Art Through Old Masters' Eyes
Sunday, April 26, 2009
You love Vermeer's "Girl With a Pearl Earring." But what do you really know about it? What is it -- who is it -- that you're really seeing there, beyond the surface of the paint?
David Stork knows. He's been through Vermeer's looking glass and seen the other side. He's floated beside the painting's beauty and he's ridden its light, Tinker Bell-style, as it flashes on her pearl, then bounces from cheek to nose to liquid eyes.
Stork is a physicist, and he's used modernoptical science and a good bit of computing power to make a virtual, 3-D copy of the world that Vermeer gave us in two dimensions in about 1665. Stork gives the painter's "girl" a kind of Second Life avatar, which he has used to solve some of the painting's puzzles, such as whether Vermeer could have painted his subject from life, and how he might have lighted her if he did. "When people look and say, 'Look how impressive his lighting is?' they don't know how impressive," says Stork. His techniques do for art historians, he says, "just what a microscope does for biologists. We can now reveal things in art that we didn't see before."
Or at least that's what he'll be trying to prove in a lecture he gives Friday at the National Gallery of Art.
Stork will be talking about how his knowledge of vision, optics and computers -- an entire 30-page CV's worth of scientific achievements -- has let him look into Vermeer's light, and discover just how closely it matches reality.
Stork's science has let him step into Caravaggio's great "Calling of Saint Matthew" from 1600, and find out that the daylight that seems to shine into its tavern isn't natural at all: It could only have come from some kind of artificial source in Caravaggio's studio.
Most recently, the scientist has taken on "Las Meninas" by Velázquez, possibly the greatest picture ever made, and one of the most befuddling. By translating Velázquez's 1657 painting into a virtual world, Stork's been able to untangle some of its knots: He's figured out what kind of space the picture shows and exactly who is doing what in it.
* * *
Stork, who grew up in Chevy Chase, Maryland,turns 55 tomorrow. He is tall, handsome and fit (he's an advanced scuba diver). In a lecture hall, his energy is endearing and infectious, and he knows how to dumb down his subject when it's called for. His PhD in physics is from the University of Maryland, he has 37 patents (know what an "N-bit neural network encoder" is?)and a Silicon Valley job directing research on digital imaging for Ricoh Innovations, as well as a teaching position at Stanford. The day before his talk at the gallery, Stork will be at DARPA, the Defense Department research group in Arlington, briefing the military's eggheads on "securely outsourcing audio and video analytics."
None of which has helped him break into the world of art history.
Over a Sunday lunch a few months ago at the Phillips Collection -- a favorite spot -- Stork was frustrated that only a handful of art historians seemed to care or even know about his work on pictures.
That work started when Stork encountered a radical claim by celebrity painter David Hockney that had received huge media attention. In his 2001 book "Secret Knowledge," Hockney asserted that the great masters of Renaissance art had set up their subjects in front of curved mirrors, which then projected images that the artists traced their pictures from. That, Hockney claimed, is what accounts for the huge increase in realism that hits Western art in the years after 1400.

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) announced up to $10.4 million, subject to availability of appropriations, in federal funding for cost-shared research and development projects. DOE seeks projects under funding opportunity announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001826, Developing Technologies to Advance the Understanding of State of Stress and Geomechanical Impacts within the Subsurface.
Selected projects will support the FE's Carbon Storage Program by developing technologies that will provide a better understanding of the subsurface, enabling improved measurement and prediction of geomechanical impacts. This will help to ensure safe and permanent geologic storage of carbon dioxide, reduce risks, and inform policy associated with carbon storage operations. The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) will manage the selected projects, which focus on two areas of interest (AOI):
Tools and Methods for Determining Maximum Principal Stress in the Deep Subsurface
FE seeks projects under this AOI to develop tools and methods for determining in-situ stress state in the deep subsurface. This includes the maximum principal stress, as well as the spatial variation, both laterally and vertically, of the magnitude and orientation of in-situ stress. Tools and methods will undergo laboratory-equivalent testing and initial validation at a relevant field site, and they must demonstrate reduced uncertainty of proposed methodologies for measuring in-situ stress compared to current state-of-the-art methods.
Methods for Understanding Impact of Vertical Pressure Migration Due to Injection on the State of Subsurface Stress
FE seeks projects under this AOI that will predict and compare with field observations the temporal and spatial stress and pressure changes in the underburden (particularly in the basement), which often result from injection. The projects will also assess the impacts related to these changes, including activation of difficult-to-resolve faults and the occurrence of seismic or aseismic slip. Projects must use tools and methods including, but not limited to, advanced geomechanical modeling at high-resolution, case history data and geomechanical/geophysical data.
The Office of Fossil Energy funds research and development projects to reduce the risk and cost of advanced fossil energy technologies and further the sustainable use of the Nation's fossil resources. To learn more about the programs within the Office of Fossil Energy, visit the Office of Fossil Energy website or sign up for FE news announcements. More information about the National Energy Technology Laboratory is available on the NETL website.

Los Angeles Angels (75-78) at Houston Astros (95-57)
|Date & Time
|Saturday September 22, 2018, 7:10 PM (EDT)
|The Line
The Line: Houston Astros -280 / Los Angeles Angels +230 --- Over/Under: 7.5
|TV Channel
The Los Angeles Angels and the Houston Astros meet in game two of their three game AL West division set from Minute Maid Park in MLB action on Saturday.
The Los Angeles Angels will look to bounce back after dropping the series opener on Friday by a final score of 11-3. Mike Trout led the Halos with a two run home run, while Francisco Arcia added an RBI to round out the scoring for L.A. in the loss. Andrelton Simmons went 2 for 4 with a triple and Jose Fernandez added a double while Taylor Ward chipped in a base hit to finish off the Angels' offense in the defeat. Andrew Heaney took the loss, falling to 9-10 this season after allowing six runs on five hits while striking out five over just three innings of work. Jaime Barria will start game two and is 10-9 with a 3.61 ERA and 91 strikeouts this season. In his career, Barria is 1-1 with a 2.81 ERA and 12 strikeouts against Houston.
The Houston Astros will look to build some momentum heading to the postseason after clinching the AL West crown on Friday with the win. Yuli Gurriel had a solid outing, going 3 for 4 with a pair of home runs and a whopping seven RBIs, while George Springer added a three run shot and Jake Marisnick chipped in an RBI of his own to round out the 'Stros scoring in the victory. Martin Maldonado went 2 for 4 while JD Davis, Marwin Gonzalez, Tyler White, Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve each had a base hit in the win. Gerrit Cole improve to 15-5 this season after allowing all three runs on six hits while striking out 12 over seven innings of work. Justin Verlander will start game two and is 16-9 with a 2.67 ERA and 269 strikeouts this season. In his career, Verlander is 12-9 with a 3.12 ERA and 157 strikeouts against the Angels.
Los Angeles is 2-6 in their last 8 games overall and 7-3 in Barria's last 10 starts while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 road games. Houston is 14-5 in Verlander's last 19 division starts and 21-7 in their last 28 games overall while the under is 7-3 in Verlander's last 10 home starts against a team with a losing record. Houston is 6-1 in Verlander's last 7 starts against the Angels.
I had considered the plus money for a split second, considering that there could be a hangover for the Astros after clinching the division. But then I remembered that the Angels have lost their last three games by a combined score of 42-6. That's not a football score, that's 42 runs to 6 runs over three games. Combine that with the fact that Verlander is starting to look like JV again, winning five of his last six starts, and I think Houston on the run line is the only way to go on Saturday.

|Summary, etc.:
Meeting the in-laws was the least of her problems ... There's nothing like being the guest of honor at an engagement party to remind a person she has commitment issues, but Rachel Benjamin has finally put her neuroses behind her. A weekend with her fiance, Peter, and his parents will put her skills to the test, but she's confident they'll never guess how new she is to normal relationships. Then Rachel receives a cryptic message: her friend Hilary is missing. Hilary was last seen in the company of Igor "Iggie" Behrenz, a budding Internet tycoon with strange fashion sense and even stranger secrets-secrets Hilary had been threatening to expose. Someone is orchestrating an elaborate scavenger hunt across San Francisco, dangling Hilary as the prize. Now Rachel has to track down her friend, which would be enough of a challenge if she weren't already busy proving how normal she is to her future in-laws. And when Rachel stumbles upon secrets all Peter's own, she wonders if maybe she's declared victory over her neuroses too soon.

Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the length of the study period for gathering data on low-income districts and English language learners. The accurate deadline of the study deadline was Dec. 31, 2018, not two years from now.
Who is at fault for the failure of Massachusetts lawmakers to deliver an educational funding bill that's been on the table for three years, and would have pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into educating children?
Nobody, according to a House statement. But Sonia Chang-Diaz, the Senate chair of the Education Committee, disagrees.
"I've never seen so many rationalizations and double-standards employed to avoid doing what's right for kids," the Boston Democrat said. She called the failure to reach agreement "unfathomable and inexcusable," as time ran out on the Legislative session July 31, with nothing in place.
Chang-Diaz' barbed observations are noteworthy for a couple of reasons. One is that both House and Senate conferees agree on the need for some funding, the result of a 2015 Foundation Budget Review Commission recommendation of major changes to how state pays for education.
The report found the funding formula pays much less than the amount needed to cover the cost of education. Educators throughout Massachusetts who agree are not being profligate tax spenders but simply being realistic.
The other interesting aspect of her comments was the refreshing nature that comes with straight talk. It certainly had a different tone than that of House negotiators, who issued a joint statement led by House Education Committee chairwoman and Wellesley Democrat Alice Peisch.
"Following an incredible amount of work and good faith negotiations by both parties, we were unable to come to a compromise on Foundation Budget Review legislation," the statement said.
The House statement essentially said, "Gosh, we work hard." Chang-Diaz was saying "political leadership failed." The second statement is more pertinent and truthful.
A formula for education funding is no simple matter. A tremendous amount of money is involved - hundreds of millions of dollars. Agreement between the two chambers existed on some matters but not others, which is typical of such negotiations.
Points of contention centered around differing approaches to helping poverty-stricken districts and changing the calculation method for English language learners, which is not just a major issue but a very immediate and relevant one. The Senate wanted to include those recommendations in this bill, the House would have directed the state education commissioner to develop an implementation plan on revisions to the English Language Learners (ELL) and low-income rates by Dec. 31, 2018 to inform the state's Fiscal Year 2020 budget, which begins in July 2019. The entire plan would be fully implemented 2024.
That would be nine years from the time of the report to full implementation - most of an entire new generation of students. The kids can't afford that, and neither can the system.
In response, House Speaker Robert DeLeo released the following statement: "This session the Legislature took action supporting education by approving an unprecedented $4.9 billion in Chapter 70 education funding, which represents an increase of 3.4 percent over the previous fiscal year and increases funding for teacher health care costs by $39 million. Education funding also featured $319.4 million to fund the Special Education Circuit Breaker, $90 million for Charter School Reimbursement, $68.9 million for Regional School Transportation and $5 million to fund the Preschool Partnership Initiative. Despite the hard work of many members of both the House and Senate consensus eluded us on education funding reform. While certainly frustrating on some levels, the reality is that the legislative process is often incremental and builds off the work done in previous sessions. It's better to get complex policy right."
On the surface, the House approach sounds like a responsible way of ensuring these changes are done properly the first time. "If those two elements require substantial additional funding, we may need to consider raising revenue to do that, and raising revenue is not an easy thing to do," Peisch said.
Not unreasonable, especially after the Supreme Judicial Court struck down the so-called "millionaire's tax" ballot initiative that could have raised revenue for education.
Chang-Diaz blames the House for tactics best described as disingenuous. She claimed the Senate offered major concessions to get something done.
But in the end, time for a deadline-strapped Legislature ran out and nothing got done. That's the bottom line, which makes it hard to accept the House statement ("but we tried so hard") as a cogent summary of the negotiations.
Massachusetts has been an education leader since the state was a British colony. Its Republican governor watches the budget closely but has been open to education funding. Democrats control both houses on Beacon Hill.
That doesn't make these decisions easy, but it should make a solution possible. As the legislative stalemate was approaching its July 31 deadline, former state Education Secretary Paul Reville warned that "my biggest fear is this will lead to a standoff and nothing at all will get done.''
That's exactly what happened, which is why Chang-Diaz' frustrations are so understandable, and the House's old-college-try excuse rings hollow.

'A Toast to Julie London' reveals Lyn Stanley's evolution as an artist, interpreter, producer, and audiophile / All About JazzPosted: January 22, 2019 12:00 AM | By: Admin
The release of Lyn Stanley's London Calling: A Toast to Julie London opens Schrödinger's music box to reveal the present creative stage in Stanley's evolution as an artist, interpreter, producer, and audiophile advocate. Her sixth release, London Calling reveals a carefully crafted, finely considered process. Her focus has been refined to addressing the recorded oeuvre of a single artist, Nancy Gayle Peck, AKA, Julie London (1926-2000). London's singing and acting career lasted 40 years, making songs like "Cry Me a River" her very own. London's choice as the object of a tribute recording is a refined one, reflecting Stanley's continual logistic for producing high-quality work. Also refined is her arrangement approach where her supporting musicians began with simple head arrangements, developing their final product while recording live in the studio. Organic and honest, this method makes for a genuine and tangible recorded product.

Gabriel Kahane set for 'Pivot Festival' / San Francisco Classical Voice Q&APosted: January 22, 2019 12:00 AM | By: Admin
The results of the 2016 presidential election sent a shockwave through America. On the day after the election, singer/songwriter Gabriel Kahane boarded an Amtrak train at Penn Station and embarked on a 13-day, 8,980-mile journey through America, seeking elucidation. Kahane hoped that by leaving the comfort and security of his East Coast, Brooklyn home, and traveling into the "heartland," he would encounter a cross-section of America that he did not normally interact with, and perhaps gain some perspective. This purposeful odyssey resulted in a collection of compositions that can be found on his recently released album, Book of Travelers. He is currently on tour to support the recording, with a stop scheduled on Jan. 26 at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco, as part of San Francisco Performances' fourth annual, four-day Pivot Festival, which also includes appearances by pianist Ran Dank, vocalist Paula West, and bass-baritone Dashon Burton. PHOTO Credit: Josh Coleman San Francisco Classical Voice chatted with Kahane recently about this tour. READ THE Q&A

Yo-Yo Ma's got your Bach / The HinduPosted: January 22, 2019 12:00 AM | By: Admin
Yo-Yo Ma brings his phenomenal global project featuring the composer's cello suites to India along with spoken word, music recitals and theatre. The celebrated international cellist, is in Mumbai this week for yet another stop over of The Bach Project, a concert series in which he performs Johann Sebastian Bach's unaccompanied cello suites in a single sitting, in what will ultimately be 36 locations around the world. It is a journey that began, rather auspiciously in August last year, at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, Colorado, where nearly 9,000 people gathered to share the musical experience. The solos seemed to coalesce into a stunning musical narrative (performed as a marathon, without intermission) and Ma has spoken of how the concert reflects a shared humanity and the communion between nature and humankind.

Blessed to be in a shithole country for PaPJazz / FRANCE 24Posted: January 22, 2019 12:00 AM | By: Admin
At a time when most of the world's jazz capitals are buried under snow or suffering through sub-zero temperatures, Haiti is offering fans a week of outdoor concerts showcasing the best talents in the business in a balmy Caribbean clime, the 13th edition of the Port-au-Prince Jazz Festival, running now through January 26. Now in its thirteenth year, PaPJazz, as the Festival International de Jazz de Port-au-Prince styles itself, is aiming high. Proving that 13 isn't always an unlucky number, the festival this year has secured for the first time the talents of Cecile McLorin Salvant, currently one of the biggest singers in the world of jazz. "I feel so blessed to be in this shithole country," American trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard said at the end of his set, reprising with irony an expression reportedly used by US President Donald Trump to describe Haiti and a number of African countries.

Mobile Chamber Music Society has brought some talented and lauded musicians to Mobile over the decades, but a note from one of their key members hints at a high-water mark this month.

Max Richter's epic lullaby featured on Radio New Zealand: Sound Lounge
Posted: January 19, 2019 12:00 AM
Radio New Zealand's Sound Lounge brings you a lullaby of epic proportions - Max Richter's Sleep at10:00 pm on 19 January 2019. It's the German-born British composer's "personal lullaby for a frenetic world" scored for piano, strings, electronics and vocals without words. The public premiere in Berlin was held at former East German Powerplant 'Kraftwerk' and since then Sleep has been heard by slumbering audiences all over the world, including the 2018 Auckland Arts Festival. Max Richter has loved sleeping since he was a child and to create this experience he consulted a neuroscientist to learn more about the human brain functions while sleeping. "For me," he says, "Sleep is an attempt to see how that space when your conscious mind is on holiday, can be a place for music to live." Richter performs on a range of keyboard instruments throughout the work. He plays piano, organ, synthesisers and electronics. He's also joined by the musicians of the American Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME) and the lilting soprano voice of Grace Davidson.

Jeff Goldblum's 'CapitolStudioSessions' is a sophisticated soundtrack for the early hours / New Zealand Herald
Posted: January 18, 2019 12:00 AM
Hollywood movie star Jeff Goldblum transcends the big screen to bring his effervescent joie de vivre and stuttering style to this spirited album of jazz standards, recorded live in the studio in front of an appreciative audience. Goldblum plays dual roles, tickling the ivories as bandleader and acting as an excitable and exaggeratedly suave MC, going off on idiosyncratic tangents and introducing his guest vocalists with a winking, flirty charm. As a jazz pianist Goldblum is no joke, although you'd be hard-pressed to notice. His piano mostly avoids the limelight to allow renowned trumpet player Till Bronner to take the lead and impress.

The initial volume, her debut recording (1997), had a mixed reception, but these readings, superbly captured, demonstrate greater maturity, a wider range of nuance and a more convincing appreciation of the 'grand design'. Showing little empathy for 'period' style, Hahn is largely faithful to Bach's text, but takes occasional liberties with his articulations; her improved structural vision is most evident in the Sonatas' fugues, which are characterised by controlled, euphonious execution of the most densely polyphonic passages, flawless intonation, extravagant arpeggiando treatment and clear realisation of the complex contrapuntal interplay. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #4d4d4d} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #4d4d4d; min-height: 14.0px} READ THE FULL Strad ARTICLE

Yo-Yo Ma makes India debut with the Bach suites / hindustantimes
Posted: January 18, 2019 12:00 AM
When he was all of four, renowned Chinese-American cellist Yo-Yo Ma discovered the classical music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The German composer has remained a constant inspiration in his career spanning nearly six decades, over 100 albums, and 19 Grammy award wins (he's also performed for eight US Presidents). Next week, Ma, 63, comes to India for the first time, to share the power of Bach's music. "It has been a friend to me; it has offered solace in difficult times, joy in moments of celebration, guidance in the face of confusion," the artiste writes ahead of his performance at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) Nariman Point, on January 21. He will perform the Bach's six suites for solo cello in a single sitting, at a concert in Mumbai. READ THE FULL hindustantimes ARTICLE
Dawn Upshaw will sing Maria Schneider's 'Winter Morning Walks' in NJSO's Winter Festival / JAZZIZ
Posted: January 18, 2019 12:00 AM
Soprano Dawn Upshaw sings Maria Schneider - Winter Morning Walks Jan. 18 at Richardson Auditorium in Princeton; Jan. 19 at Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank; and Jan. 20 at NJPAC in Newark. Upshaw will perform Morning Walks and Mahler's Fourth Symphony January 18–20 in the second program NJSO's 2019 Winter Festival, "Music Speaks." Music Director Xian Zhang conducts. Zhang says: "Performing works by female composers has always been one of my passions, and Maria Schneider's Winter Morning Walks-with soloist Dawn Upshaw-is a particularly touching piece, based on poems former US Poet Laureate Ted Kooser wrote while undergoing cancer treatments. This is a story about hope in very desperate situations; I think it ties beautifully to Mahler's Fourth Symphony, which also features Upshaw. She sings 'Das himmlische Leben' ('The Heavenly Life') from The Youth's Magic Horn, with its text about a child imagining heaven. The entire program speaks of recovery, hope and salvation." Schneider released the album - Winter Morning Walks featuring Upshaw in 2013.

Seong-Jin Cho turns things around in Eastman performance / Rochester City Newspaper
Posted: January 18, 2019 12:00 AM
Pianist Seong-Jin Cho played a sold-out concert at Eastman School of Music's part of the Fernando Laires Piano Series, and his performance gradually became more effortless. Cho turned things around dramatically after the intermission with Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition." From the bold and majestic chords of the recurring "Promenade" theme to the playful, rambunctious quality of "The Gnome" and the delightfully spry and witty reading of "Ballet of Unhatched Chicks," Cho seemed to relish the direct melodicism and implicit storytelling of Mussorgsky. The composer's fantastical Romanticism came alive, distilled through Cho's tumultuous, ecstatic energy. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #4d4d4d} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #4d4d4d; min-height: 14.0px} READ THE FULL Rochester City Newspaper ARTICLE

This stellar lineup represents some of the great progressive jazz artists from around the world: Shabaka from the UK Jazz scene, Miles Mosley and Cameron Graves from LA's West Coast Get Down, Onyx Collective from NYC, Makaya McCraven and the JuJu Exchange from Chicago.
John Coltrane :
1963: New Directions
A selection of Coltrane's 1963 Impulse! recordings, derived from the original albums Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, Dear Old Stockholm, Newport '63 and Live at Birdland In the brief, bright arc that is the career of John Coltrane, 1963 marks a point of transition between past jazz masterpieces and future work, which would transcend the boundaries of the music itself. That year's recorded output shows movement in many directions: a look back at the past, continued examination of a familiar repertoire, exploration of more traditional formats and a look forward at compositions and approaches that would further extend the reach of jazz.
Pablo Aslan :
At the suggestion of bandoneonist, arranger, and composer Raúl Jaurena, I set out to create a body of work for bass and string quartet, in order to feature the bass not only as foundation and a melodic instrument, but as a driver of rhythm. As I was mulling over the idea, I got an invitation from Cho-Liang Lin, Artistic Director of the La Jolla Music Festival, to play a concert with Paquito D'Rivera and the Escher String Quartet in 2016. In turn, Pac-man, as he calls himself, invited me to bring some repertoire to the musical shindig, and thus the album was off to a start. I enlisted my teacher and friend Gabriel Senanes, who lives in Buenos Aires, to write and arrange several pieces. This led naturally to inviting him to be the Artistic Producer. He contributed two mini-concerti that sent me to the practice shed for months and forced me to up my game, a common thread throughout the making of this album.
Michael Fine :
The scores of composer Michael Fine are born from his improvisations on the piano and are nourished by his travels and his readings: his music derives from a poetic imagination and carries therefore lots of visual evocations. From Korea and its palaces (At the Gate) to Scotland and the writer Alexander McCall Smith (Brother Fox), the world and its landscapes pass by over the seasons (Seasonal Rites) as you listen to it. A sound immersion all the more successful due to the fact that Michael Fine is also a Grammy winning producer for his expertise in sound recording. What's more, as himself a performer, Michael Fine has written music for musicians. This recording is the faithful testimony of a collective adventure where musicians share their pleasure to play and then offer it to the public.
Cecilia Bartoli :
Antonio Vivaldi
Almost 20 years after her historic Vivaldi album, Cecilia Bartoli turns to the composer once again for her brand new solo recording, Antonio Vivaldi. The album is a glorious collection of Vivaldi arias, performed with French baroque orchestra Ensemble Matheus under Jean-Christophe Spinosi. This new release also marks 30 years since Bartoli signed to Decca Classics. Cecilia Bartoli's 1999 recording The Vivaldi Album redefined her status as an artist: for the first time, she was widely appreciated as a rescuer of neglected or forgotten music, in her dual role as meticulous researcher and passionate interpreter. The Vivaldi Album shone a spotlight on the Italian as a composer of vocal works, sparking a revival in the operas of Vivaldi, who had hitherto been primarily known for his concerti. The album sold 700,000 copies in five years and went Gold in six countries. It paved the way for similarly trailblazing releases, including the Italian arias of Christoph Willibald Gluck, the legendary castratos (on the album Sacrificium) and Bartoli's personal 19th-century hero, the mezzo-soprano Maria Malibran.
Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra :
The Capitol Studios Sessions
Decca Records is thrilled to reveal details of the forthcoming album from Hollywood icon Jeff Goldblum and his long-time band The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, entitled The Capitol Studios Sessions. The highly anticipated debut from the jazz pianist will be released on November 9, 2018. Goldblum, who has been playing the piano since he was a child, has performed with his jazz band at venues in Los Angeles and New York City over the past few decades. When he's not filming, the actor hosts a weekly jazz variety show at LA's Rockwell Table and Stage. Frequented by locals and A-listers alike, the show intersperses Goldblum's love of jazz with his passion and skills at improvised comedy. The atmosphere and energy of these shows is captured perfectly on this album, which Jeff credits to producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock, Madeleine Peyroux). For the recording, Larry recreated the buzz of The Rockwell at the legendary Capitol Studios. The studio was transformed into a jazz club – food and drink was served to an invited live studio audience of Rockwell regulars, friends and family.
Soundtracks :
Sony Music, Netflix, Participant Media, and Esperanto Filmoj present the Motion Picture Soundtrack of ROMA, which is available through all digital platforms, on the same day that the film premieres on Netflix. Curated by the director Alfonso Cuarón and the soundtrack producers Lynn Fainchtein and Randall Poster, the soundtrack of ROMA brings us back to the sonic Mexico of the 1970s, when the famous XEW, a reference of Mexican radio, transmitted English pop and rock, while gradually introducing the new Mexican pop, through performers like José José, Juan Gabriel, and Rigo Tovar, musical icons that in the present, have remained as references of Mexican and Latin American music.
Brian Newman :
Trumpeter and singer Brian Newman's first album for Verve, SHOWBOAT, is out today and features a brand new track with his long-time friend and colleague LADY GAGA on "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," a song that was first recorded by Nina Simone in 1964, and subsequently covered by The Animals. Joe Cocker and Elvis Costello among a host of other artists through the decades. Brian explains, "Please Don't let Me Be Misunderstood was on a short list of songs we wanted to record with LG. Our choices of how to arrange this song and every song always stays true to our original sound as a band. While steeped in the tradition of the Great American Songbook and at the same time we are pushing the boundaries of the music we know and love. LG makes that very easy for us because of her great range and vast knowledge of the music. We didn't want to do what was already done and make it our own. This definitely shines on this track and I'm excited for everyone to hear it!"
Radical Face :
Missing Film
Bear Machine Records is excited to announce the release of "Missing Film" by indie-folk artist Radical Face. Known for his cinematic and emotional music, Ben Cooper wrote and produced this 12 song collection with film makers in mind, focusing on mood and entirely instrumental arrangements -- a direct contrast to his traditional concept and story-driven albums. He has partnered with Noisetrade to give away the album, and is offering the music to students, young directors and content creators to use for free use in all non-commercial media.
Daniel Pemberton :
Spider-Man, Into the Spider-Verse OMPS

Motorbikes splash waves on Quoc Huong Street in District 2. The road was submerged by half a meter at some parts. This woman struggles to get her motorbike back on its wheels. The rain stopped after three hours but the flood remained strong. As cars passed through the streets, they created waves that knocked down motorbikes around them. "I tried my best to keep the motorbike balanced, but I couldn't in the end because my arms were too weak," said Minh, who was on her way to see a business partner. A woman wades through the water to get her bag that fell into the floodwater. A foreign man seems to have got along with the problem. The water has shut down his bike's engine. The Thao Dien area of District 2 is home to a large expat community. Motorbikes struggle to move around a flooded road part. This food stall's floor is lower than the road, so it was severely flooded. "It happens all the time, so we know how to deal with it. Just move your belongings up high," said Nam, the stall's owner. Cars and motorbikes march on despite high levels of water getting in their way. Besides District 2, several other roads in the east of Saigon like La Xuan Oai, Le Van Viet or Duong Van Cam were also flooded.

CORNING - The Town of Corning has revoked a contract with the Gibson Fire Department for coverage of the Gibson General Fire Protection Area due to unmet contract requirements, according to town officials.
Town and department officials met Thursday evening, and town officials stated that the department did not produce the proper documents certifying that training and other requirements for its firefighters were met.
"The contract was revoked due to Gibson's non-performance of contract requirements," the town said in a statement. "Their commissioners have promised to work very hard to correct the deficiencies that brought about the revocation of this contract."
Officials with the town said Thursday that the department currently does not have any firefighters who are certified as interior firefighters and that are self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) qualified.
"As of the time of our last meeting you didn't have anybody who was SCBA cleared; you had no interior firefighters," said town fire municipality attorney Terry Hannigan to department officials. "They all expired on March 1."
The revocation is effective immediately.
The town board previously met with department officials on March 7, where the board expressed concern regarding the department's ability to provide adequate fire service due to inadequate roster, training and equipment data provided by the fire company.
Department officials said the fire protection district in question consists of properties on College Avenue and Gorton Road.
Town officials said the North Corning, South Corning and East Corning fire departments will be providing interim coverage to that district for now.
Gibson Fire Department officials could not be reached for comment Friday.

*If you have kids over five, please see our updated post, "wishlist part 2."
No matter how much you prepare yourself to be a foster parent (or parent in general), you will never be fully prepared. Being a foster parent throws some additional curveballs in the preparation process for becoming a parent, and honestly, with each placement the only thing that gets easier is that you are more prepared to be unprepared. As many of you probably know, during our certification process we anticipated being foster parents to school-age children, but our first placement was Ava*, an infant, who arrived at our home 4-hours after the initial placement phone call.
When becoming a parent, you often have 9ish-months to prepare. You can use this time to freak out, paint the bedroom, clean the house, stock-up on necessary and unnecessary supplies, over-analyze, host a baby-shower, spread out expenses over months, and yes, freak out. To become a foster parent, it took us a little bit less than 6-months from the start of our journey to our first placement. During that time, we prepared our home to pass the DHS Home Inspection (fire extinguisher = check!), and emptied the room that our future kiddo would occupy, save for a twin bed. Beyond that, we had no idea if we should get toys, clothes, and decorations for a 5-year old boy, or an 18-year old girl, or anyone in between. And it turns out, we should have ditched the bed, set-up a crib, and prepared for an 11-month old little girl!
All we are trying to say is, "preparing for a placement is very difficult". Our first placement was just as difficult as preparing for our 5th and 6th. These are little humans, all with their own needs, and the amount of time you have between when you know they are coming, and when they arrive can be measured in minutes or hours, not months. Many of the items you purchase for your kiddos need to be and should be sent with them when reunification occurs (clothes, toys you bought them, hygiene products, etc.), but some things you buy, are considered items for the house, and you can keep for the next placement. This phenomenon explains why we have a double jogger and single jogger as well as a pack-n-play taking up valuable storage space while there are no toddlers currently in our home.After our first placement we quickly became aware of two things:
- Children in foster care need products you wouldn't typically think to buy.
- Online shopping is a lifesaver!
Many of our friends and family expressed interest in giving the kids and us gifts after our first placement. At first we were hesitant, but we realized two things:
- They wanted to help kids in foster care, and this was a way that they could help.
- It was like the baby shower that the kids and us never had… it was a placement shower and it was very helpful!
The easiest and most efficient way to make this happen turned out to be creating an Amazon Baby Registry / Wishlist . The Registry served multiple purposes:
- It was easy: Whenever we thought of something we needed, we could quickly add it to our list.
- It was easy: People who wanted to help could do it from their computer, and have it shipped right to our front door. They were helping in a significant way, but it was not a huge effort.
- It was quick: With Amazon Prime, items we needed that people purchased for the kids showed up within 2-days. (Click the link and sign up for the 30 day free trial to truly understand the power of prime)
- It was effective: When you know a kiddo will be arriving at your home, there is no telling what they have or don't have with them. Do they need clothes? How big are they? Do they need books or toys? Car Seat? Back Pack? This allowed people to send exactly what we needed, and nothing that we didn't.
(For more information regarding what is provided to foster parents and their kiddos through DHS, check out our post You Get Paid For This, Right?)
So, if you are a foster parent with a village of supporters who are looking for an easy and effective way to support you, think about setting up an Amazon WishList for your new placements. If you are someone who is interested in supporting foster children, but unable to become a foster parent, reaching out to friends or members of your community who are foster parents, and suggesting they start a WishList is a great way to support foster kids and parents.
Here are some of the things that have been on our wishlist that we found very helpful as first time foster parents. We didn't always know what we wanted or needed, but the following are items we couldn't live without… well at least our lives are much easier now with these items.
I used to think this appliance was ridiculous. It seemed like a Keurig for babies, and very unnecessary. Well people, I am eating my words! This is especially useful for foster parents with infants. If you have a baby, you will need to feed them formula. As first time parents, we quickly learned that formula bottles need to be used within a short window after they are mixed, so there is no pre-mixing bottles and storing them in the fridge. Also, trying to comfort a distressed, tired, crying child in one arm, while scooping and shaking in the other is just not fun, and quite messy. We were gifted this machine and if we have another infant kiddo we will get another one (we gifted ours to another family after Ava was reunited). You choose the ounces, press on, and moments later you have a warm mixed bottle that you made with one hand!
Nexpa Safety ChildProof Magnetic Cabinet Locks
These were one of our best purchases. They install with foam tape and can be turned on and off with a switch. When there are no babies we don't have to remove them all and when we do have babies they can easily be switched back on.
If you worry about kids wandering off I would invest in some type of tracker. It is not uncommon for kiddos who previously had little to no boundaries or supervision to want to try and go on "adventures" alone. If nothing else, it is peace of mind.
OK to Wake! Alarm Clock & Night-Light
Sleep schedules are usually a hard one, especially in the beginning. This alarm clock tells them when they are allowed to get out of bed, there is also an alarm to wake them up if that is something they need. It has been our experience that schedules and telling time have been difficult for kiddos. This clock takes the "telling time" aspect out of the equation. If it is "OK to Wake!" the entire clock lights up green, and if not, it stays dark. This way, if a kiddo wakes up at 3:30am, they know not to just get out of bed.
You should have a few sizes on hand, after a child arrives at your home, the last thing you should do is leave for a clothing run. Offer the little one a relaxing bath and have clean PJ's ready to wear. It is much easier to go to the store for clothing during the day. The best part about the footless option is that the child can wear them while they are going through a growth spurt! Save yourself the trouble of ruining a pair of PJs by cutting the footies off, and just buy the footless. Long story short, backwards PJs prevent taking off your diaper for finger painting your crib during nap time…
This item is amazing, it cuts down on messes and is easy to clean. Many of these babies do not want to be changed, especially by a stranger. The bum brush lets you apply cream in seconds, and keep your hands clean… just make sure to get one for each kiddo and make sure they are different colors.
Amazon has some great wipes. They are a great deal, and come in two days!
This diaper bag is BIG, and possibly stylish. It is helpful when you are going away all day or have more than one baby.
This stroller is a great option for foster families because there are endless options for your ever changing family. Most people buy these as a second stroller when they are considering having a second baby. In Foster care you may find yourself having two kids under three with only an hour to prepare. This stroller, with a few clicks, allows you to not stranded at home! You need to get out…trust us.
We love our Echo! The kids use it for music and timers. We use it for music, cooking, podcasts, news, games, and making shopping lists. The "magic door" choose your own adventure is an alternative to T.V that allows the kids to use their imagination and listening skills. The timer function has really helped with transitions, because the kids can set their own timers, and understand that when Alexa "says" that the time is up, it is time to move on to the next activity. Just make sure they don't figure out how to make purchases through it.
We document each of our kids with our Instax camera, it's a cute way to send them with pictures of your family when they go home or to a different home. Polaroids are great because the kids like watching them develop, and they like looking at the picture book of them and all the other kiddos. We have also sent the kids on visits with pictures of themselves, to give to their family.
Don't stress about buying and setting up a crib in four hours like we did. Just keep one of these handy. They are also great for sending with your kiddos when they go on long visits with their bios or visits to your in-laws.
Night lights are important for all the kids we have had, this one is disguised as a light show, turn it on and it will play a beautiful water scene on the ceiling for one hour. You can also play music with an aux cord. Very relaxing for kids of all ages, we have used it for our babies, toddlers, and our 8-year old.
In Oregon we are required to have this size fire extinguisher in our kitchen. Check with your agency or certifier on what equipment you are required to have, and what size you will need to get.
Teething is always a hard time and with all the baby carrying that you should be doing this is a lifesaver.
Accidents happen, more so with kids who have experienced trauma. Investing in a strong mattress protector is also a good idea for double protection. Much more cost effective than a new mattress.
When you find out you have a child with lice, it is go time. don't plan on having time to run to the store for supplies, these are hard to find when you are in a panic and it is late at night, trust us on this one…
These are just a few of the purchases that we have made that at first, may not seem like necessities, but have definitely helped to make life for our kiddos and us easier. There are definitely other "necessities" that are not on the list, but these stick out. Books have also played a major role in our foster parenting journey, so if you haven't yet, take a look at our other post Books For Foster Kids And Foster Parents. Hopefully this post gives potential or current parents or foster parents ideas on some "necessities" out there that can make their journey a little easier. For those who want to help foster kids and parents, but are not foster parents themselves, hopefully this is a good start to some items that you could purchase or provide that would make a difference (also, take a look at this post for ideas on how to help foster children and foster parents).
The other thing we wanted to stress in this post is the unpredictability and quickness of a placement. It took us a lot of internal conversations to even consider creating a WishList after our first placement. After realizing that the combination of us needing support, and others wanting to support us, coupled with the uncertainty and quickness of placements, a WishList felt less like a handout, and more like a way for our village to help. We are very thankful for our village, so are our kids, and we encourage you to establish your village, or be a part of a village.
