Life with Crohn's disease can be difficult, particularly when it comes to watching what you eat. While there's no one diet that can cause or cure Crohn's, research suggests that some foods may be more likely to cause flare-ups than others. But the good news is that there are also foods that help reduce Crohn's symptoms, replenish lost nutrients, and promote healing. Even better? You can make use of snack time to help manage your Crohn's symptoms and treat yourself to some goodies.
Understanding Crohn's
Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. While Crohn's can affect any part of the GI tract, it most commonly affects the small bowel and upper colon, penetrating the entire thickness of the intestinal wall. This can cause symptoms like:
- abdominal pain
- persistent diarrhea
- rectal bleeding
- gas or bloating
- weight loss or decreased appetite
- fever
- fatigue
Eating for Crohn's
There is no perfect diet for those with Crohn's disease, but some research has shown that a few different approaches might help relieve symptoms. Eating smaller amounts of food more frequently is recommended. For flare-ups, a "bland" diet may ease symptoms. This means avoiding foods with too much fiber or spice and instead choosing soft, bland, low-fiber foods.
During periods of remission, a low FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharide, disaccharide, monosaccharide, and polyols) diet that includes a variety of allowed foods may ease any IBS-like symptoms while providing adequate nutrition. The low FODMAP diet eliminates fermentable, poorly absorbed carbohydrates and polyols from the diet for six to eight weeks. Then it allows foods to slowly be reintroduced to help identify triggering foods. On the contrary, a high FODMAP diet may make it difficult to manage Crohn's.
High FODMAP Foods
- lactose (dairy milk, butter, cream, cheese)
- fructose (apples, mangoes, honey, agave nectar, and some other sweeteners)
- fructans (onions, garlic, wheat)
- galacto-oligosaccharides, or GOS (legumes, nuts, seeds, and some grains)
- polyols (asparagus, cauliflower, and sugar-free sweeteners)
While there have been no prospective clinical trials, three retrospective studies in the Journal of Crohn's and Colitis, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, and the World Journal of Gastroenterology have suggested that a low-FODMAP diet can help those with Crohn's disease reduce symptoms and identify individual foods that trigger them.
With so many foods to avoid, following a low-FODMAP diet can feel like there is nothing left to eat. What's more is that trying new foods can be nerve-racking if you don't know whether they'll cause painful symptoms. But it's not all bad news! There are still foods you can eat during the trial period of a low-FODMAP diet and beyond with Crohn's disease. And snacking is a great way to fit more essential nutrients into your day.
5 Easy and nutritious Crohn's-friendly snack recipes
Whether you want to take them on the go or keep them handy in your fridge at home, these Crohn's friendly snack recipes are easy to make and easy to digest.
Lactose-free yogurt parfait
To make:
- In a glass, layer one container of lactose-free yogurt, such as coconut yogurt.
- Alternate layers with a handful of raspberries and blueberries.

To make:
- Toast a slice of your favorite gluten-free bread.
- Spread with 2 tbsp. lactose-free cottage cheese mixed with a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Top with sliced cucumbers.
- Sprinkle with fresh mint.
Peanut butter quinoa balls
To make:
- In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup cooked quinoa with 1/4 cup peanut butter.

4 Even easier snack ideas!
Pressed for time or no appliances at-the-ready? Try these even simpler and equally delicious Crohn's-friendly snack ideas.
Fruit and cheese snack plate
Make yourself a mini cheese plate with 1/3 cup grapes, 1 oz. brie, and 1 tbsp. almonds.
Mini antipasti skewers
Thread black or green olives, cherry tomatoes, basil, and prosciutto onto toothpicks. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil and sprinkle with freshly cracked pepper.
Tuna cucumber bites
Mix 1/2 cup canned tuna with 1 tbsp. light olive oil mayo, 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper, salt, and freshly cracked pepper. Scoop onto cucumber slices.
Turkey veggie rollups
Slice zucchini, red bell peppers, and carrots into matchsticks. Roll 3 slices of turkey around veggies and eat!
IBD-friendly foods
If you want to give the low-FODMAP diet a go for other meals, try adding some of these foods to your meal prep for an endless variety of options. Remember, the most fun part is mixing it up and getting creative. Crohn's does not have to make you feel like you have limited options to eat well and deliciously!
Gluten-free grains
Gluten-free foods aren't as difficult to find as you might think. Avoid store-bought granola bars, as they often have high-fructose sweeteners and added fibers like inulin that may cause IBS-like symptoms.
Gluten-free foods
- oats
- rice
- quinoa
- gluten-free bread
- corn tortillas
Low-lactose dairy
Keeping your favorite nut milk and lactose-free cottage cheese and yogurt in your refrigerator will make it easy to have an easy snack on-hand at all times.
Low-lactose foods
- lactose-free cottage cheese
- lactose-free yogurt
- nut milks
- low-lactose cheese (cheddar, feta, brie, parmesan)
Low-fructose and low-polyol fruits
Luckily, some yummy fruits are low-FODMAP-friendly, and you can usually tolerate them fine. Just make sure you limit it to one serving per meal or snack to reduce the risk of irritation.
Low FODMAP fruits
- bananas
- blueberries
- grapes
- kiwi
- oranges
- pineapples
- rasberries
- strawberries
Low-GOS vegetables
The same goes for vegetables, which is good news because having enough fruits and veggies in your diet is key for good digestion and health. Just try to avoid garlic, onions, mushrooms, asparagus, and artichokes.
Low FODMAP veggies
- bell peppers
- carrots
- tomatoes
- zucchinis
- cucumbers
- kale
- spinach
Meat, eggs, and seafood
Protein foods like meat, eggs, and fish contain no carbohydrates and are least likely to cause GI symptoms. You can keep some of these foods in the fridge year-round for easy access. Keep hard boiled eggs, canned tuna, or deli turkey in your kitchen or pantry for easy, nutritious snacks.
Low FODMAP protein
- hard-boiled eggs
- canned tuna
- deli turkey
It's true that life with Crohn's can make eating a chore and even a nuisance. But, remember, food is not your enemy! With the right foods, you can enjoy delicious meals and snacks with minimal preparation and maximum deliciousness any time of day. What are your favorite Crohn's-friendly snacks? Share them with me!

1 thing that ensures your site delivers an income
Far too many Internet business owners create their websites with great enthusiasm, expecting this asset to generate a steadily increasing income for them, month on month.
90% pay to host their websites on a great webhost. They pay a web development company good money, to create a great looking site with terrific functionality.
Their sites offer blend of products and/or services that would add value to the purchaser.
With so many positives on offer via their website, they soon discover that:
- Almost no one is visiting their website
- From the few that do visit their site no one is registering for their email newsletter
The discovery that their website is a cost to company, returning almost zero, hurts. Worse this happens, after the costs for the website are sunk.
What a lot of website owners do not realize, is that developing a website and releasing it into the wild, fulfils only 25% of their journey towards a steady, growing, Internet delivered income.
The other 75% is the monthly recurring costs that have to be borne to digitally market their website. Additionally, the digital marketing strategy must be executed, daily, weekly and month on month for the life of their website.
When the shock of zero income from the Internet hits home, most website owners do not want to invest in a digital marketing strategy.
Most are of the opinion that just as their website is a sunk cost with zero returns, the digital marketing costs will also generate zero returns.
Nothing could be farther from the truth than that.
A well planned, documented, executed, closely monitored, and occasionally tweaked digital marketing strategy is what places their website in front of their target audience worldwide. Nothing else can do this. It's only when your target customer knows about your website and engages with it regularly that sales and income happens.
Hence, the website owner's knee jerk reaction of refusing to digitally market their website really make their unhappy situation, worse.
Regretfully 98% of the time, after a year lapses, they do not renew their web hosting nor do they renew the domain name they purchased which such enthusiasm earlier.
If this lose:lose situation is starting to sound more and more familiar as you read, please believe me when I say, this situation can be completely turned around.
Your website can deliver a steady, increasing, Internet driven income, simply by applying a well thought through, documented, monitored and tweakable digital marketing strategy to the site. That's what's needed.
Your digital marketing specialist, is an important business partner, helping ensure that your website converts to an Internet asset.
Your website is quite capable of delivering a steady, month on month, income. It won't take long to recoup the website domain name and hosting costs at all.
It's not rocket science to create and execute a digital marketing strategy that will deliver a return of at least 20% to 35% more then what it costs to execute.
Now all you have to do as website owner is to choose your digital marketing, business partner wisely and you'll be home and dry.
I could really use your help!
Would you take my 3 minute survey, please?
- Are you a website owner who, wants more email subscribers?
- Needs to move email subscribers to paying customers?
- Wishes for better results from your current digital marketing strategy?
I'm creating a course which teaches online business owners, how to Define, Document, Execute, Track and Tweak their digital marketing strategy to deliver great results, BUT I'm stuck and I really could use your help!
I want to learn about the problems you are facing. With your help, I'm positive I can identify ways to digitally market your website a whole lot better.
Wouldn't it be terrific if I could increase your website income?
Thank you so much for taking my short survey. Your time is deeply appreciated!

The beauty of the fabrics from Assam is definitely popular through out fashion enthusiasts worldwide. It was little surprise, consequently that the amazing 'Made in Assam' show called 'Halodhi' launched the Sustainable Fashion and Indian Textiles Day with amazing textiles at Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2016. Three leading fashio designers of the region mesmerized the audience with their spectacular fashion offerings.
The fashion show started with the traditional Assamese dance form known as Sattriya by three youngsters Nupur, Nikita and Gunjan Talwar who maintained the pace of the show upbeat through the series of collection.
It was a wonderful feast for the eyes as Anuradha Pegu showcased her wonderful collection under her label 'Naturally Anuradha'. A treasure trove of saris, dupattas and scarves on models showed up on the ramp in a huge range of colours. Blending and merging various fabrics, Anuradha used Endi, Muga and Nuni silks together with spun and pure cotton, which are treated with 100 per cent organic dyes such as turmeric, lac, iron, harda and manjistha.
The catalog of sarees had vibrant weaves of gold and multi colors that outlined the borders and the pallu of the classic drape.
The elegance of the North East states has been seen in the trendy weaves that left the crowd breathless.
By far two of our most liked shows of the day, Naturally Anuradha's Assam-inspired collection and Pariah by Pranami's designs were innately Indian, celebrating organic colours, fabrics, and attire, such as the saree. Rich, sophisticated embroidery meshed superbly with pure silk and comfy cotton pieces as models appeared everything from lehengas to dresses that were cultural in essence.

Manchester United are refusing to give up in their attempts to prise Brazilian defender Marquinhos away from Paris Saint-Germain, despite the French club's reluctance to part with the player.
Marquinhos is a 20-year-old central defender who is among the most highly rated young talents in world football. He has enjoyed two impressive seasons for PSG since signing for the club in the summer of 2013 in a deal that is thought to have approached £30m when he was only 19 years of age.
United are believed to have made enquiries in the January transfer window but were knocked back in no uncertain terms by the Parisians.
United are looking to bolster their defence this summer. Nathaniel Clyne is a leading target at right back, while they will also seek to recruit two centre-halves of elite standing. Marquinhos is believed to be one of those being closely monitored by Louis van Gaal.
PSG view him as a long-term mainstay of their defence and the French club do not wish to sell the 20-year-old Brazilian but they are aware of growing and sustained interest from Old Trafford. PSG are also conscious that despite Marquinhos being Brazilian, he has a European passport, meaning that he does not take up a non-EU place in their squad. This only increases the player's value to the club as only four non-EU citizens are permitted in a squad in Ligue 1.
Marquinhos' agent has gone public in recent weeks to state that the defender is target for several of Europe's leading clubs, including United, but that could also be a ploy to force PSG into offering improved terms to the player. Reports in France suggest those talks are continuing with the French club.

The Honorable Angelo Saviano
Assembly Registration and Regulation Committee
State Capitol
Springfield, IL 62706
Dear Chairperson Saviano:
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) is a membership association consisting of over 392,000 pilots and aircraft owners nationwide including 13,700 in Illinois. On their behalf, we urge your opposition to Assembly Bill 3084 pending before the Illinois Legislature that would license flight schools and impose criminal background checks for individuals seeking flight training. Passage of this legislation does nothing to enhance security or protect the citizens of your state, but would impose an unnecessary restriction and encumbrance on those who seek to learn to fly—an activity regulated and controlled by the federal government.
Our objective as an association is to promote the interests of those who use general aviation (non-commercial and non-military flying) to fulfill their transportation needs. Locally, these pilots are your friends and neighbors who have chosen to go through the federally mandated training and become a certificated pilot. The federal government oversees aviation to ensure safety, efficiency, and security of both the aviation system and the nation as a whole by regulating the operations of aircraft, airports, and airspace.
General aviation is important, encompassing a fleet of 219,000 aircraft including everything from ultralights to balloons to helicopters to corporate jets. Together, they fly 145 million passengers a year to 18,345 local community airports.
AOPA strongly opposes Illinois Assembly Bill 3084 because it is preempted by federal requirements for aviation safety and security. The federal government has taken numerous actions to address aviation security concerns, making Assembly Bill 3084 unnecessary. President Bush and the leaders of the U.S. House and Senate enacted legislation creating the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which formally took authority for aviation security March 1. This new department provides a national framework to defend the nation. In addition, provisions of Assembly Bill 3084 would adversely affect pilots, flight schools, flying clubs, and businesses that support aviation in the state.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a legal opinion that state and local governments cannot pass laws regulating pilot licensing. This was contained in a letter (attached) dated October 15, 2002, to AOPA's general counsel from the FAA's Chief Deputy Counsel James W. Withlow. The FAA offered the opinion that "state legislation that requires the collection of personal information from prospective students, including fingerprinting and background checks, or disqualifies prospective students based on specified past criminal conduct would likely intrude into an area that Congress has preempted. Congress has reserved to the [FAA] Administrator the authority to regulate 'civilian schools giving instruction in flying.'"
The letter also expressed the importance and efficacy of uniformity in aviation security, and this is an appropriate role for the federal government to play. The FAA deputy counsel wrote that, "The qualifications of the person operating aircraft are determined according to federal rules and should not be subject to standards varying from state to state."
AOPA has filed a lawsuit that is pending before the U.S. District Court in eastern Michigan challenging legislation similar to Illinois Assembly Bill 3084 that was enacted by the Michigan Legislature. AOPA contends the law is a violation of Article VI, clause 2 (the "supremacy clause") of the U.S. Constitution.
Since the tragic events of 9/11, the federal government has taken numerous actions related to aviation security. These federal actions include the following:
Locally, Assembly Bill 3084 will create a burden on local flight schools that must maintain records and the Department of State Police who must conduct the checks.
In 2000, there were nearly 3,500 new student pilots and more than 21,500 active pilots in Illinois alone. Administratively, this bill will be very costly while providing no effective security enhancement.
This legislation could possibly deny individuals their right to receive flight training or rent aircraft in Illinois. This bill creates unnecessary and arbitrary hurdles that will drive business out of state, increasing the economic burden Illinois flight schools have been trying to carry since the September 11 tragedy.
We believe it is important that security requirements do not undermine the national transportation system. That is why we are concerned with a patchwork of state laws. The U.S. Congress has provided the responsibility for regulating the safety and security to the federal government.
AOPA is committed to ensuring the continued safe and secure enhancement of aviation. General aviation contributes more than $102.1 billion annually to our nation's economy. Flight training is the foundation of the aviation industry; with more than 90 percent of our nation's airline pilots learning to fly at civilian flight schools, these schools are a key component to the future of our industry.
Any state law requiring flight students to submit to a criminal background check prior to enrolling in flight training is not only unnecessary given the degree of federal security regulations, but sends a negative message that discourages potential flight students. Federal regulations that ensure individuals who pose a threat to national security are denied the ability to fly an aircraft adequately address the concerns of any state legislature and do so with a national standard. State laws can only reach to the borders of the state. Comprehensive federal laws can protect all Americans.
AOPA would gladly discuss in greater detail our efforts with Airport Watch or any other general aviation security concerns with you and other members of your committee. We hope you will recognize the efforts our national leaders are putting forth to improve aviation security and will not pass any law that could potentially jeopardize those efforts. Please contact me directly at 301/695-2221 to establish a time in which we can discuss these matters in greater detail.

Stan Germain was just 21 years old when he joined Elks Lodge No. 1289 in March 1949.
Germain said he was on a construction crew at the time. "My whole crew joined together. We all graduated from high school in 1945 or thereabouts."
"I was pretty young," he added. Germain was working for Welker Construction along with his friend Don Welker Jr. They had attended Hoover High School together, and he ended up going to work for his friend's father, Don Welker Sr. "There was quite a group of us, six of us out of the crew, that joined the lodge. I thought it was a good idea."
The Elks lodge was a very active place when Germain joined. It had been formed in 1912, and the lodge building was dedicated in 1918.
Their membership grew rapidly. By the time Germain and his friends joined, the lodge had a band, a drill team, an orchestra and a bowling team, and they were also sponsoring a Boy Scout group.

We went to parent/teacher conferences last night and got Lin's first report card.
drumroll please...
All A's and one B!!!!
Didn't I tell you she was smart?
Yup, all her teachers say Lin is doing just great in school. She works very hard, is attentive in class, and is overall a model student. (Of course, we knew all this already...) I'm actually more impressed with the one B on her report card than all the A's. The B is in science, where she's not getting extra ESL help every day. So that B, she really is earning on her own!
The one thing we've got to try and figure out is, she's occasionally getting to her classes late. It's not a huge problem, nor is it a daily occurance, but it's happening enough that it's been mentioned to us. Now, when we ask her about it directly, she says she's not late. When I ask her if she's forgetting things in her locker, she says no. So I'm afraid that she's just not understanding the concept of punctuality. We'll keep working on that one.
And speaking of school, I surely cannot neglect to mention Ruby! She's going on her first-ever school field trip today! They're going to a pumpkin patch and Ruby was funny last night while we were talking about it. The kids are going to the same place we go every year to get our pumpkins, a local landmark pumpkin farm owned by a man named Gene. We were just there two weeks ago. (See the "Happy Fall!" post below for pics...) So last night Ruby kept saying "Are we going to our pumpkin patch? Are we going to see our Gene?" Very sweet...

CryptoObjectand a
FingerprintManager.AuthenticationCallbackinstance. The
CryptoObjectis used to ensure that the fingerprint authentication result was not tampered with.
- Subclass the FingerprintManager.AuthenticationCallback class. An instance of this class will be provided to
FingerprintManagerwhen fingerprint authentication starts. When the fingerprint scanner is finished, it will invoke one of the callback methods on this class.
- Write code to update the UI to let the user know that the device has started the fingerprint scanner and is waiting for user interaction.
- When the fingerprint scanner is done, Android will return results to the application by invoking a method on the
FingerprintManager.AuthenticationCallbackinstance that was provided in the previous step.
- The application will inform the user of the fingerprint authentication results and react to the results as appropriate.
The following code snippet is an example of a method in an Activity that will start scanning for fingerprints:
protected void FingerPrintAuthenticationExample()
const int flags = 0; /* always zero (0) */
// CryptoObjectHelper is described in the previous section.
CryptoObjectHelper cryptoHelper = new CryptoObjectHelper();
// cancellationSignal can be used to manually stop the fingerprint scanner.
cancellationSignal = new Android.Support.V4.OS.CancellationSignal();
FingerprintManagerCompat fingerprintManager = FingerprintManagerCompat.From(this);
// AuthenticationCallback is a base class that will be covered later on in this guide.
FingerprintManagerCompat.AuthenticationCallback authenticationCallback = new MyAuthCallbackSample(this);
// Start the fingerprint scanner.
fingerprintManager.Authenticate(cryptoHelper.BuildCryptoObject(), flags, cancellationSignal, authenticationCallback, null);
Let's discuss each of these parameters in the
Authenticate method in a bit more detail:
- The first parameter is a crypto object that the fingerprint scanner will use to help authenticate the results of a fingerprint scan. This object may be
null, in which case the application has to blindly trust that nothing has tampered with the fingerprint results. It is recommended that a
CryptoObjectbe instantiated and provided to the
FingerprintManagerrather than null. Creating a CryptObject will explain in detail how to instantiate a
CryptoObjectbased on a
- The second parameter is always zero. The Android documentation identifies this as set of flags and is most likely reserved for future use.
- The third parameter,
cancellationSignalis an object used to turn off the fingerprint scanner and cancel the current request. This is an Android CancellationSignal, and not a type from the .NET framework.
- The fourth parameter is mandatory and is a class that subclasses the
AuthenticationCallbackabstract class. Methods on this class will be invoked to signal to clients when the
FingerprintManagerhas finished and what the results are. As there is a lot to understand about implementing the
AuthenticationCallback, it will be covered in it's own section.
- The fifth parameter is an optional
Handlerinstance. If a
Handlerobject is provided, the
FingerprintManagerwill use the
Looperfrom that object when processing the messages from the fingerprint hardware. Typically, one does not need to provide a
Handler, the FingerprintManager will use the
Looperfrom the application.
Cancelling a Fingerprint Scan
It might be necessary for the user (or the application) to cancel the fingerprint scan after it has been initiated. In this situation, invoke the
IsCancelled method on the
CancellationSignal that was provided to
FingerprintManager.Authenticate when it was invoked to start the fingerprint scan.
Now that we have seen the
Authenticate method, let's examine some of the more important parameters in more detail. First, we'll look at Responding to Authentication Callbacks, which will discuss how to subclass the FingerprintManager.AuthenticationCallback, enabling an Android application to react to the results provided by the fingerprint scanner.

Anna: Hits the Slopes and Plays with Friends
Anna, Rick & Judy went on a Saturday BISS ski trip to Nanshan Ski area outside of Beijing. (Elizabeth was at the volleyball tournament.) It was a crisp and beautiful day. Beijing is so dry that it seldom snows, and even less so this year due to a draught. The snow is all man-made, so you go down the white slopes surrounded by brown hills. After a two hour refresher lesson Anna left her parents in the dust and took off with friends to ski away the afternoon. Quite fun!
The following Saturday Anna invited her friend Jo-Anna to play. Jo-Anna and her family are from Korea. Her dad arrived via cab at the West Gate of Renda with Jo-Anna and her younger sister, Younee. After a few minutes in the apartment, her dad went to leave. It became apparent that he was also leaving Younee. EUREKA MOMENT! This was the second time that we invited a child to play, and a younger sibling came along. It makes sense that in Asia, when you invite a child you are inviting any siblings who want to attend. This attitude of inclusion toward siblings permeates the BISS school. Kids of different classes play easily together. Very nice…..

The Internet Society (ISOC) is the international, umbrella Internetorganization, founded in 1992. It is a non-governmental organization, made up of more than 100 organizations and thousands of individuals, with an international mission to foster global cooperation and coordination on Internet technologies, and serve as a global clearinghouse for Internet related information.
The ISOC was also created in part to provide a legal umbrella for theIAB and the IETF, which had been operating almost entirely as self-perpetuating bodies with no legal standing, in order to provide liability insurance to protect members from suits by vendors.
The ISOC oversees the other Internet management organizations described in the following pages, and in some cases provides financial and other support. It also holds an annual International Networking (INET) conference, and coordinates Internet related public policy and trade activities, regional and local chapters, standardization activities, and an international secretariat.
One of the most important legal activities of the ISOC is a defense of the free use of the word "Internet", ensuring that it remains a generic term that is not trademarked or owned by any Individual or corporation.
The ISOC has an international network of chapters in various countries, and is open to membership from any interested individual. Members receive a bimonthly magazine called "OnTheInternet", a monthly newsletter called "ISOC Forum", and discounts on various products and services.
The ISOC supports a number of education programs, for example ThinkQuest, an international contest that provides scholarships for high school students who develop educational tools for the Web, run in conjunction with other organizations. It was awarded the rights to management of the .org domain in October, 2002.
The IAB evolved from the Internet Configuration Control Board (ICCB) originally established in 1979 by the ARPANET Program Manager Vinton Cerf, and oversees development of the Internettechnology standards. In 1983, the ICCB was reorganized around a series of technical task forces by Cerf's successor, Dr. Barry Leiner, and named the Internet Activities Board (IAB).
The IAB was supported throughout the 1980's by the Federal Research Internet Coordinating Committee (FRICC), an informal group of US Government managers supporting inter-networking that was absorbed into the Federal Networking Council in 1990.
In June, 1992, the Internet Activities Board was renamed theInternet Architecture Board by the Internet Society at the INET92 conference in Kobe, Japan. The roles and responsibilities of the IAB are described in RFC 2850, and summarized below:
- Oversight. Provide oversight of the Internet architecture, protocols, procedures, and standards.
- RFC management. Provide editorial management and publication of the Request For Comments documents.
- IESG selection. Appoint the members of the Internet Engineering Steering Group, and the chair of the Internet Engineering Task Force.
- IETF oversight. Responsible for the IETF's relationships with other standards bodies and related organizations.
- IANA administration. Provide administration of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, which manages the various Internet numbers and parameters.
The IAB is composed of 13 members, made up of 12 members nominated by the IETF and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Internet Society, plus the IETF chair who may vote on all official actions except approval of Internet Engineering Steering Group members and IESG appeals. Each member serves for two years, and may serve more than one term. Interestingly, members of the IAB must serve as individuals, and not as representatives of a company, agency, or other organization. The process is further described in IAB and IESG Selection, Confirmation, and Recall Process: Operation of the Nominating and Recall Committees, RFC 3777.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) was created in 1986 by the Internet Architecture Board. It consists of Internetadministrators, designers, vendors, researchers, and individuals interested in the evolution of the Internet architecture, and is responsible for improvement of the Internet technology protocols and standards.
The culture of the IETF has always been open and informal, an influence taken from its predecessor, the Network Working Group. For example, their voting members are selected according to a random process to guarentee unbaised selections, as described inPublicly Verifiable Nominations Committee (NomCom) Random Selection, RFC 3797.
The first IETF meeting was held in January, 1986 in San Diego, and had 15 attendees. The seventh meeting was hosted by the MITRE corporation in McLean, Virginia, in July, 1987, and had more than 100 attendees. The fourteenth meeting was hosted by Stanford University in July, 1989, and led the Internet Architecture Board to consolidate many task forces into the IETF and the IRTF. The first IETF meeting held in Europe was in Amsterdam in July, 1993.
The IETF studies operational and technical problems with the Internet, specifies protocols and architectural solutions, and makes recommendations to its steering committee, the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Most of the work done by the IETF is performed by several working groups, each interested in a particular Internet topic and led by a working group chair. Working groups often document their work in one or more Request For Comments, which sometimes go on to become standards that help define how the Internet works.
The IETF also facilitates technology transfer from the Internet Research Task Force, and provides a forum for the exchange of information between Internet vendors, users, researchers, contractors, and managers.
With the continued increase in the scale and technical complexity of the Internet, the IETF went through some growing pains adjusting to the similar increase in their own responsibilities and challenges. In conformance with their open culture, their members conducted a searching self-examination in 2002 and 2003 as documented in The IETF in the Large: Administration and Execution, RFC 3716, and IETF Problem Statement, RFC 3774. Recommendations of a working group to address the issues were described in IETF Problem Resolution Process, RFC 3844.
The mission of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) is to conduct research into the long term future of the Internet. The IRTF is guided by the Internet Research Steering Group, and is composed of a number of small research groups that work on the development of the Internet protocols, applications, architecture, and technology. Befitting its long term focus, it is composed of members that serve for extended periods, but as individuals, and not as representatives of organizations.
The role of the IRTF is not to set Internet standards, but to take the long view of the future of the Internet, to research this future within its various research groups, and document the results in journals, white papers, and at conferences. Any technologies created as a result are brought to the Internet Engineering Task Force working groups.
The chair of the IRTF is appointed by the Internet Architecture Board. The Internet Research Steering Group is composed of the chairs of the IRTF research groups.
The Internet Research Steering Group (IRSG) manages the IRTF research groups, and holds workshops focused on various Internet research areas.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) manages the domain name system and allocation of IP addresses.
Up until 1998, the technical infrastructure of the Internet had been run by US Government agencies, such as DARPA and the National Science Foundation. However, as the Internet began to grow into a world wide resource, the US Government began to look for a way to transfer these administration functions to the private sector. To achieve this goal, it signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers on November 25, 1998.
ICANN describes their goal as being to "preserve the central coordinating functions of the global Internet for the public good." The ICANN has responsibility for the assignment of Internet protocol parameters, oversight of the domain name system, allocation of IP addresses, and management of the root server system.
ICANN is comprised of three Supporting Organizations (SO's):
- The Address Supporting Organization (ASO) manages the IP address space and its allocation to various organizations. The ASO is supported by three existing Regional Internet Registries, APNIC, ARIN, and RIPE NCC.
- The Country Code Names Supporting Organization (CCNSO) is a policy development body responsible for developing consensus positions and recommending global policies relating to country-code top-level domain names.
- The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GSO) advises the ICANN Board with respect to policy issues relating to the Domain Name System.
Each of these support organizations has the responsibility to name three Directors to the ICANN Board.
The following committees also support ICANN:
- The Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) provides advice to ICANN from governments on issues of public policy, such as where there may be interaction between ICANN's policies and national laws or international agreements.
- The ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is responsible for providing advice to ICANN on issues that affect the interests of individual Internet users -- the "At-Large" community.
The IANA also supports the ICANN in managing the assignment of Internet protocol parameters required to enable the Internet to operate in practice, and is supported by various organizations including the Internet Engineering Task Force, World Wide Web Consortium, International Telecommunications Union, and European Telecommunications Standards Institute.
The ICANN information page page provides more information on the structure and responsibilities of the organization. The ICANNWatchorganization is an independent organization monitoring ICANN activities.

Dear Austin ISD Community,
When forecasts of winter weather and hazardous road conditions force the school district to delay start times or close for the day, the first thing Austin school district leaders think about is how the decision will affect our students, families and staff.
We know some of our students may not be able to eat breakfast and that all of our students will miss crucial instruction time. We also are mindful that the majority of our parents and guardians must work and that they count on our schools to care for their children. When our emergency management team and I make a decision to start school two hours late or not at all, we do so because we believe we have no other choice.
Many times, the Austin district will need to make decisions on short notice. Winter storms may cause icy roads, plunging temperatures, and sleet and snow throughout Central Texas. We rely on the National Weather Service and local meteorologists, who have cautioned us that even several hundredths of an inch of rain can freeze on exposed surfaces.
Sometimes, inclement weather forecasts are clear. Often, they are not. Sometimes, we can make informed decisions the night before weather is expected to worsen. Often, we cannot. In each instance, we must rely on the best information available at the time.
Some community members may question the school district's decision to delay or cancel classes with observations about the weather conditions in their neighborhood as they begin their daily commutes.
The reality, though, is that the Austin district must make decisions for citywide operations that start long before the sun rises. We are prepared to make decisions about road conditions by 3 a.m. to ensure transportation employees will be able to drive safely to work to begin their bus routes. Food service workers and custodians must be able to drive safely to more than 120 schools to prepare campuses well before the first bell rings. Our school buses are on the road by 5 a.m. for their first student pick up at 5:20 a.m.
We also make decisions about weather and road conditions throughout the day and well into the evening. We review operational needs and realities, including law enforcement, emergency management, transportation, facilities, food services, after-school programming, fine arts and athletics.
As the largest school district in the region, the Austin Independent School District would like to thank our families and the Austin community for your patience and support as we work to ensure the safety of our school communities with as little disruption as possible.
We also would like to thank the partners who work with us to monitor weather situations and coordinate decision-making, including the city of Austin, Travis County, the University of Texas at Austin, Austin Community College, fellow school districts and many others.
We wish we had a crystal ball to tell us exactly what the weather and road conditions will be at any given time. Instead, we must rely on the most up-to-date weather forecasts to anticipate weather and road conditions.
Weather can be unpredictable, and winter in Central Texas can bring a series of unexpected, yo-yo-like weather conditions. We have watched freezing temperatures melt into springtime within the span of a day. And we have seen roads dry by daylight only to refreeze overnight.
Because we know how important it is for students to learn every day, included below are links to educational websites that can be used during bad weather days.
As we manage the uncertainty of this winter season, be assured you can count on one thing: When we make decisions, we will always place the safety of our students first.

to Snakes
Constrictor ( Constrictor constrictor )
South & Central America
the past two decades, Glasgow Zoopark has maintained several sub-species
of the Boa Constrictor - Boa constrictor . Currently we
have three large specimens of the Common Boa, one of whom produced
44 babies in one night during June 1998.
The other sub-species we maintain is the so called Hog Island
Boa , from Honduras, perhaps more accurately referred to as
the Clouded Boa , Boa constrictor nebulosa . We
acquired our original animals in 1982-1983 from a London reptile
dealer, and occasionally from H.M. Customs seizures of illegal imports
at Heathrow airport.
bred 7 young in 1985 and believed this to be the first breeding
in the UK. We have bred them several times since then. Private collections
have bred them up and down the country since then too, but no other
zoos, so far as we can ascertain, have done so in the UK.
the time of acquisition they were quite small, just over 0.5 metres
in length, though they soon grew, on a diet of mice and dead day-old
chicks, to their adult size of 1 - 1.2 metres.
are distributed widely in Central and South America, and due to
geographical isolation there are many sub-species. At the time we
acquired our specimens we were told that they were found on a large
offshore island where they fed primarily in the passing bird spring
and autumn migration season, swimming from island to island in search
of newly landed birds in the mangrove swamps. As the migration season
in central South America can be as long as 3 months in each direction,
with perhaps millions of small birds touching down in ones, twos
and small groups, constantly during that period, perhaps indicates
that this is not the great hardship it might at first sight appear.
The pale, smudged markings could perhaps be explained by the bright,
sunlit sands, and dappled leaves of the mangroves against the blue
sky. Their slender bodies would also tend to suggest a more arboreal
habitat than the ground dwelling, dry leaf habitat of the large,
heavy, brightly, but cryptically patterned Common Boa.
we retained the original adults, most of the young have been exchanged
through dealers for even more valuable pythons and boas, and we
were pleased with the exchange value of the Hog Island Boas
. We were less than pleased with the ludicrously low value
placed on our Common Boa babies. Although understanding
why dealers have to do this, we feel that with such a demand for
these animals, which retail at what we think, are quite high prices,
they could be more accommodating for captive bred specimens. Especially,
as no money changes hands in these exchanges.
few years ago in another Customs seizure, we ended up with some
Black-bellied Boas , Boa constrictor melanogaster
. These were extremely aggressive, wild-caught snakes, and we never
really succeeded in calming them down much.

For me, the joys of December cannot truly begin until my annual trip to Bath's popular Christmas Market* is under-way; a shoe-in to the festivities whereby over 140 traditional wooden chalets – selling the likes of locally-sourced edibles, decorations and gifts - adorn the cobbles near to the city's iconic Abbey. On this particular visit, the girls and I decided that to kick-start the proceedings, a spot of brunch was in order and fortuitously stumbling upon The Bertinet Bakery Shop and Café at the height of our hungriness, we ascended from the hustle and bustle (not to mention, the wonderful sights and smells) of the bakery to the intimately-arranged dining area on the first floor...
Date and Time: Sunday 2nd December 2012, 11:30
Name of Establishment: The Bertinet Bakery Shop and Café*
Location: 6 New Bond Street Place (on the corner of Upper Borough Walls), Bath
Reason for Visit: A little respite from the cold and preparatory replenishment for the afternoon ahead..
After the success of his cookery school, it's fair to say that the newest outlet for French chef and baker Richard Bertinet - the quaint-looking establishment on the corner of Bath's Upper Borough Walls - is an asset to the city's café culture; offering a thoughtful assortment of sweet treats and savouries which you can opt to eat-in or take-away. Overall, this is a calming yet quirky space; unmistakably underpinned with an air of 'Le Français' which is channelled through the likes of a crisp colour scheme and its minimalistic décor. That said, punctuating the sophisticated ambiance with distressed wooden furniture, cushions made from Hessian flour sacks and framed images from Richard's cookery-book; 'Pastry', just about managed to promote a homely feel which would have been otherwise lost to the winter whites and cool greys that for me, also seemed to reflect the service which was at best; a little stand-offish and at worst; really rather rude. In line with this, one of my dining companions reported that she had been unapologetically bumped by a member of staff whilst she stood in line to pay for her fare – an experience that unsurprisingly tarnished her opinion of the venue before she had even sampled its wares. Furthermore, there was a right old kerfuffle in regards to our order which had obviously been incorrectly noted given that even our drinks took an age to make an appearance and were not quite right when they did so...
|Calming yet quirky
Though table service has been eschewed in favour of a pay-at-the-till arrangement, I rather liked the help-yourself ethos when it came to toasting the contents of the 'Bertinet Bread Bucket' (£3.25) and portioning jam into little ramekins for a spot of free-hand spreading. In fact, this is exactly what I finally decided upon and although I was disappointed by the sliced, white twosome that skulked between the crinkled sheets of parchment paper, the sour dough was fantastic; thickly cut, fresh-tasting and quite frankly, delicious. I think it would have been preferable to be offered a choice of breads - especially given the varieties in abundance downstairs and the fact that, on the large part, white bread is nutritionally useless, (plus for me personally, pretty hard-going). Friend 'H' ordered the Croque Monsieur (£5.25) which although looked the part, was ruined somewhat by the amount of vinaigrette that had been added to the side-salad; soaking the bottom-half of the sandwich which resulted in an unpleasant acidic sogginess. She suggested that the overall ensemble would have fared rather better had the salad-dressing been included in the self-serve remit as the ingredients were essentially of a good quality, generously portioned and attractively plated. In light of this, we harboured some pretty serious food envy having noticed the couple on the table next to ours tucking into a rather spectacular cheese board (£7.50), especially upon discovering that this featured a number of my favourite cheeses: namely, Trethowan's Gorwydd Caerphilly and Homewood's Old Demdike.
|Croque Monsieur
|Bucket of Bertinet Bread
When it came to the all-important matter of cake and confectionery however, it was quite a different story; the 'cloud meringue' (served with a choice of decadent toppings) or salted butter caramel tartine proving particularly appealing. Besides this, there is a tempting array of scones, croissants and pastries on offer which can also be purchased 'to-go'; something which only the strong-willed can resist upon exiting the shop!
To wash down our fare, we found ourselves split between tea-drinkers and coffee addicts...and, firmly within the latter camp, I sipped at my authentically continental 'Cappuccino' which had been well-executed and richly-roasted – just lovely! Tea was served in sizeable pots alongside dainty, floral tea-cups made of the finest bone china yet disappointingly brandished with the odd dirty mark which ruined the appeal somewhat. That said, we liked that milk had been provided in old-fashioned bottles and later discovered that kiddies (or the young at heart) can opt for flavoured milk (caramel, chocolate, raspberry, strawberry or vanilla) which comes complete with an old-fashioned paper straw. It was also lovely to find that the Bertinet Bakery Café offer a 'breakfast bowl'; a typically French concept that I happen to be rather partial to having been introduced to it in Toulouse as a teenager. Here, this basically constitutes a choice between coffee or hot chocolate which is served in...yep, you guessed it...a soup bowl which is destined for some serious dunkage – a croissant proving (for me at least) the perfect accompaniment to this novel way of enjoying what is commonly considered the most important meal of the day!
|Time for Tea!
In conclusion, there was definitely a hit and miss feel to The Bertinet Bakery Café; although many aspects of the experience looked the part, when it came to the conflict between style and substance, the latter seemed to fall a little short. Collectively, we felt that although the attention to detail made for an aesthetically pleasing visit, a little care needed to be applied to the delivery of the fare and most importantly, the standard of the customer service which was arguably, the most prominently French aspect of the venue overall! Criticisms aside, it's fair to say that if you're after affordable edibles and/or something to satisfy your sweet tooth; this is, without doubt, the place for you – though at present the shop fares rather better than the café, with a few tweaks here and there, I'm sure it could improve considerably; you might say, allowing its clientèle to have their cake and eat it...!
And now for the second opinion...
Friend 'H' gave The Bertinet bakery Café a rating of 6/10 and chose, 'pretty questionable service' as her three-word summary!

(MATCH REPORT ) - Nasarawa Utd Bumped On Home Soil By Champions Plateau Utd
|1st Half
|2nd Half
|Nasarawa United F.C
|Plateau United
|Match Day
|January 14, 2018
|4:00 pm
|Nigeria Professional Football League
|Lafia Township Stadium
|Makurdi - Jos Rd, Lafia, Nigeria
It was an unhappy start to the new season for Nasarawa United as champions Plateau United soaked all the pressure from several onslaughts and then struck in the nick of time to pick the three points at a shell–shocked Lafia City Stadium on Sunday. Plateau United won 1-0.
Najeem Olukokun and Kabir Balogun (both in their first NPFL outing for the Solid Miners), as well as stand–in captain Ishaya Anyu and Thomas Zenke all had opportunities to put daylight between the home team and the visitors in the first half, but fluffed them all.
Zenke was his usual pacy self, but his final touch was disappointing. Strike partners Balogun and Olukokun fared no better. Olukokun would particularly remember his miss in the 25th minute as perhaps the reason his team ended the evening empty–handed.
Plateau United's own new boy, Tosin Omoyele, who shone for Osun United in the second tier last season, also wasted a couple of gilt–edged chances, including one with only the keeper to beat, after Suraj Ayeleso gambled and saw his pass go the wrong way. Omoyele blasted over the woodwork.
The champions were without three of their regulars: goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye, defender Daniel Itodo James and forward Peter Moses Eneji, all in Morocco with the Super Eagles B for the African Nations Championship (CHAN). Yet, they were able to hold their own firmly and dealt the knockout blow when Nasarawa United thought the match was over.
Former Nigeria U20 striker King Osanga (in the books of FC IfeanyiUbah last season) came into the match with only seven minutes left. With about his second touch, he concocted a lofty pull out for Raphael Ayagwa to knock past Ayeleso for the only goal of the match, with only three minutes left.
With their spirit on the floor, Nasarawa could have conceded another goal as a wonderful team move in added time left substitute Kabiru Umar with a sight of Ayeleso's goal, but his touch was too soft.
Kennedy Boboye (Plateau United head coach): "It was a sweet victory. What a great way of starting the season. It was a difficult match for us knowing full well that Nasarawa United is no pushover. They have an experienced coach and skilful players. I will say we were the luckier team as the home team failed to take their chances. We were able to take advantage and thus grabbed the three points. Since I resumed in Jos with Plateau United, I have never lost in Jos. Somehow, I was confident going into the game. All said and done, we are done with this and we are happy with what we were able to take away from this, and we are looking forward to our next two home matches with high expectations."
Elisha Golbe (Plateau United captain): "We had been in Abuja for the past two weeks putting finishing touches to our preparation for the season. I am very happy to be selected the Man-of-the-Match, but happier that my team got that very important goal with few minutes left to pick the three points. Nasarawa United is a strong team and they were just unlucky not to score today. We will savour this victory for tonight and then turn our attention to our next match."

A discount card for tourists in Rome, costing 18 and valid for three days, will go on sale from 21 February. The card is valid for all public transport, for entry into two city museums and for discounts on various cultural events. Details about the card will be available at tourist information points around the city centre. Some of the city most important museums are the Capitoline Museums and its overflow at the Montemartini site on Via Ostiense, the Museo di Rome and the city contemporary art collection MACRO. Apart from the Capitoline collection none of them is major tourist attraction.
The aim of the citys mayor, Walter Veltroni, is to boost the numbers of tourists coming to the city from close to a 17 million to 20 million a year in five years time. In 2003-2004 tourism, which is still one of the citys main service industries, increased by 6.1 per cent in Rome while it fell by 6.4 per cent in the rest of the country.

LIVE REPORT: London Jazz Festival
Andy Thomas
, November 23rd, 2012 04:00
This year's London Jazz Festival, writes Andy Thomas, was at its best when mining the sounds of the past to zoom into the future, courtesy of stunning live shows from Black Top, Wadada Leo Smith and more

"Don't worry if your path to jazz is not through a book; find your own way." These were the words of British vibes player Corey Mwamba during a discussion entitled 'Way In To The Way Out' on the opening weekend of the London Jazz Festival. It proves to be sage advice as we navigated some of the disparate corners of this year's programme.
The roots of the LJF reach back to the mid 70's when the London Borough of Camden added a jazz week to the long established Camden Festival. The Camden Jazz Week grew to embrace the best of British and overseas jazz across multiple venues. With the end of the Camden Festival, promoters Serious launched the inaugural London Jazz Festival in 1992. The plan was to bring together artists from across the world as well as celebrating the cultural and musical diversity of the capital. It's an ethos that has defined the festival, as it has grown to now feature up to 30 shows a night across the city, in venues ranging from the concert halls of the South Bank and Barbican to a wide range of small club venues, from Vortex to Village Underground.
Our first weekend begins with a collaboration of 21st Century Big Band music from Manchester's Beats and Pieces and Norway's Ensemble Denada at the Purcell Rooms. The same afternoon Gabriel Garrick was paying tribute to his late father Michael Garrick's Big Band at The Spice of Life. But whereas Garrick's powerful ensemble was very much modelled on the great big bands of old, the collaboration tonight is more contemporary, with electronic effects and scratchy VJ visuals adding an edge. Opening the session are the young Manchester collective led by the effervescent composer and arranger Ben Cottrell. The free yet funky sound brings to mind the Loose Tubes whose impact on British jazz cannot be overstated. The idea behind Ensemble Denada was to achieve small-band dynamics with a large ensemble, and there is a tautness and order to the Norwegians' sound that contrasts nicely with the looser approach of their UK counterparts. When Cottrell and Helge Sunde swap places to conduct each other's ensemble with new compositions written by the composers, it's clear that this is one project making the most of its European cultural funding.
The collaboration is part of the Jazz In The New Europe strand of this year's festival, which includes sessions by old school players like French jazz bassist Henri Texier and Norway's scat legend Karin Krog as well as interesting collaborations such as those between Serbian pianist Bojan Z and Bosnian singer Amira. It is also the theme of one of the many talks taking place over the weekend, with a thought provoking discussion between journalists Kevin Le Gendre and Francesco Martinelli alongside Karin Krog.
While Jazz In The New Europe is being celebrated at venues across town, the best of the diverse British scene is also well represented. One of the many clashes over the week saw us miss the great Manchester saxophonist Nat Birchall who along with Matthew Halsall is part of a quiet little movement of spiritual jazz in the North of England. British jazz does provide us with the most creative set of the week however, in the form of the heavy London improv collective Black Top. Originally planned as a trio performance at Café Oto with vibes/steel pan player Orphy Robinson, keyboardist Pat Thomas, and saxophonist Steve Williamson, the collective actually debuted at the Dalston venue as a duet when Thomas had to pull out of the gig. They have since returned to Oto as a trio with trumpeter Byron Wallen, but tonight's performance of this occasional project promises to be the heaviest yet, with all the aforementioned players alongside ex Metalheadz jazz/improv vocalist Cleveland Watkiss and Corey Mwamba on vibes.
It proves to be an incredibly powerful yet eloquent session, exploring the interaction of live instrumentation and technology in jazz improvisation from a Black British perspective. There is no set plan for tonight; the band relying instead on a freeform intuition gained not only from the members' grounding in the hugely influential Jazz Warriors but also through their shared Jamaican roots. This foundation in reggae as well as jazz is evident both in the use of echo and effects, but also the ethereal samples of roots classics that permeate the set. This is a band deeply respectful of their heritage, and when Watkiss takes a break from improvising with beat box and electronics, it's to read a poem from the great British Caribbean trumpeter Shake Keane. When the power of the ensemble subsides after 90 exhilarating minutes, those lucky enough to witness this gathering are left with no doubt that free can also certainly be funky.
Wadada Leo Smith has been fighting for freedom through his music all his life. As a member of the AACM in Chicago in the late 60s he was part of one of the great American jazz co-ops using music as a weapon. Earlier this year the 70-year-old trumpeter, composer and teacher, released Ten Freedom Summer, a four and a half hour long LP dedicated to the civil rights struggles. It was an LP that was three decades in the making, and is evidence of his place as one of the leading voices in free improvisation. So his appearance at Bishopsgate Institute alongside pianist John Tilbury was always going to be one of the most anticipated shows of the week. Split into three sets, the opener sees Smith take to the stage for a solo performance of awe-inspiring weight and clarity. His distorted harmonics and multiphonics are mixed with and a whole range of effects that have the crowd wondering 'how did he do that?' After a solo piano set dedicated to an episode of Sherlock Holmes, Tilbury is joined by Smith for a 45 minute attack of free improvisation from two players who continue to explore the possibilities of their instruments.
Another master of his instrument is pianist Marcus Roberts who perhaps inhabits the opposite end of the jazz spectrum to Wadada Leo Smith. But following the onslaught of the previous night we were pleased to be heading for what promised to be a more straight ahead affair, as the ex Marsalis sideman brought his trio to King's Place. A great pianist full of technical virtuosity, Roberts has sometimes been criticised for his lack of innovation. This is perhaps through his choice of standards and homages to the jazz greats like tonight's tribute to Thelonius Monk and John Coltrane. Beginning with a strident version of 'Blue Monk', Roberts blows that theory out of the water with his boldly adventurous interpretations. Full of invention and verve, his innovative stride piano is matched by the dexterity of bassist Rodney Jordan and the rhythmic pulse of drummer Jason Marsalis. It's testament to the power of this trio that for the second set they revisit an album from probably the greatest ever quartet. It's been said that the trio have the ability to sound like more than three instruments. They go some way to proving that tonight with a dazzling interpretation of Crescent that reverberates with much of the spiritual intensity and modal beauty created by John Coltrane, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones nearly 50 years ago now.
At around the same time in the 1960s, over in the UK, other players were also seeking divine inspiration while looking east. Through his exploration of Indian ragas and performances at St Paul's Cathedral, pianist and composer Michael Garrick, who sadly passed away last year, was responsible for deeply spiritual music that continues to resonate today. But it was his lightness of touch that set him apart; a witty English eccentric as likely to dedicate a suite to Peter Pan as compose towering modal epics like 'Black Marigolds' and 'Dusk Fire'. And it's this mix of immense emotional power and gentle humour that's explored on the closing weekend by a band of Garrick associates (including horn player Art Themen and bassist Dave Green) assembled by his musician sons Chris and Gabriel. From a killer version of 'Black Marigolds' and a spine tingling take on his pastoral jazz masterpiece 'The Heart is a Lotus' (with scat vocalist Jacqui Dankworth) to two numbers featuring the witty tongue of his regular collaborator in Poetry and Jazz Jeremy Robson, it's an intensely moving and fitting tribute to this most unique and lyrical British jazzman.
A few hours later a similarly influential figure in British jazz, sax powerhouse Larry Stabbins, is threatening to take the roof off the Festival Hall with his post Coltrane jazz collective Stonephace Stabbins. The band was conceived when the ex co-leader of Working Week appeared alongside players like MOBO-winning pianist Zoe Rahman and Galliano percussionist Spry Robinson in Jerry Dammers' Spatial AKA Orchestra. The spirit and power of that ensemble is carried onto the free stage at the Clore Ballroom on our final night at the festival. Deeply indebted to masters like Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders but played with a maverick London edge, this is a serious trip into the future of spiritual jazz.
It marks a fitting end to our small exploration into the evolution of jazz in the 21st century. While innovations in sound and technology continue to take the music in new directions, the greatest advancements are being made when the traditions of the past are mined to fuel the sounds of the future. And the most forward thing we heard all week? A stomping New Orleans marching tune from the early 1900s, played from a crackly old tape on the fringes of the festival.
