Kounta has in the last couple of months perfected their art with an upgrade of its POS. Known for providing affordable, easy-to-use point of sale for businesses in the hospitality industry; the team has had to constantly keep up with the fierce competition in their niche.
For those imagining how useful these guys are, here's a quick overview of what they offer hospitality businesses.
Now that you're in the know regarding what Kounta can offer, let's take a dive into their recent updates to make all the benefits mentioned function optimally. Read on.
- New Colours and Fonts
The older version of Kounta certainly never focused much on the stylish bit of the interior colours, fonts, and contrasts. With this update, the fonts and colours are a sure muse of hospitality to anyone interacting with the POS.
If you've worked on a lower light setting with the older version, you'll certainly appreciate the recent upgrade.
And better still; the change is a great relief to individuals with lesser stellar vision.
- Repositioned Profile and Help Icons
In the previous version's Back Office, the top right-hand side of the screen contained the Help and Profile icons. However, in the latest version, the icons have been moved to the left-hand sidebar.
Notable is the fact that the POS icon maintained its original place granting you a quick access to it when serving customers.
Conveniently positioned on the same space are the Profile and Help options—talk of simplicity and consistency to your Kounta experience.
- Interchanging Companies and Sites
This feature has been strategically positioned on the sidebar on the left-hand side. It enables you to easily navigate between sites and companies all under one menu.
- The Sidebar Menu Expansion
The navigation menu has now been conditioned to always expand with a 'heading' rather than 'icons'. The change is meant to foster cruising of Back Office sections such as Users and Products.
- Help and Switch User
Switch User and Help (?) buttons have now been shifted to the bottom of the left-hand sidebar from their initial top-right position of the navigation bar. The change is aimed at providing a consistent experience with Back Office.
The Switch User icon now shows the individuals who logged in at specific times.
- Shifted Search Bar
In a bid to align your products with the search icon, Kounta shifted the 'Search Bar' to the left—clearly showing a search is for particular products and barcodes. The results are now displayed in the form of tiles to show a larger number of results under one screen.
- Re-characterization of Tables, Orders and History Buttons
These icons haven't changed in terms of positions—rather, they have been assigned 'word' characters further enhancing the clarity of the icons; more so to new users.
- Hand Symbol Reinvented
Initially, sending dockets to the printers was executed by a hand symbol. The symbol has now been replaced with the word 'Send' for a clearer meaning of the button.
- Editing a Product on a Sale
The layout for editing a product on a sale is now more instinctive.
The 'trashcan' icon was also replaced by a "Remove" button to better depict its function.
- Error Symbols Repositioning
Henceforth, the error symbols will now appear in the top left-hand corner of your product list menu. The symbols had previously been displaying on different locations of the screen.
Over to you
There's no doubt that the future of Kounta is something to watch out for in the hospitality space if their recent updates are anything to go by.
We at WhichAddOn understand how daunting adapting to and implementing change could get having gotten used to your old Kounta version.
For this reason, we've kept our doors and lines open ready to do the heavy lifting for you; letting you concentrate on what matters most—running a profitable enterprise.

A man's attempt at being a swashbuckling pirate has landed him in hospital after he fell several metres from the mast of a yacht in Newcastle.
The 20-year-old was taken to John Hunter Hospital yesterday after he was captured on video falling on to the deck of a yacht berthed at Queen's Wharf.
Emergency services were called to the scene at 5.20pm, with the ship's crew assisting the man before paramedics arrived.
The unknown man was discharged from hospital this morning, thankfully without any broken bones.
While he may have walked away from the ship relatively unscathed, a career sailing the Seven Seas is more than likely off the cards.

Gonzo Latest News: 18/05/2012 MICHAEL DES BARRES' CHEQUERED PAST
Date Published: 18th May 2012
I have a friend called Nick Redfern (photographed here by me in the Valley of Fire, Nevada) who is a very well known author on the subject of UFOs. He is also a tremendous devotee of the punk music of the class of 1977, and spends much of his time berating me loudly for writing about prog.
He wrote to me the other day, in an email so full of personal insults that I cannot reproduce it here, and for the first time in my memory he was being polite about one of the artists about whom I write.
I had to check out one of Michael Des Barres' bands. It was called Chequered Past and also featured Clem Burke and Nigel Harrison of Blondie, and Tony Sales from Tin Machine. So, much though it goes against the grain to take musical advice from Redfern (the last time I did that, it ended up with me and him and a Puerto Rican camera crew driving the wrong way around a one-way system in Canovenas, singing Sham 69 songs), I did indeed check them out, and boy they were magnificent!
There is a brilliant live video of them on YouTube but for some reason you cannot embed it. So check it out:
And here is a vintage TV ad for the band..

The Wall Street Journal gave the market some good news amid rising concerns about Italy and trade wars, when it reported that in an attempt to appease Trump, over the weekend Beijing had offered to buy US farm and energy products in a trade package worth an estimated $70 billion.
The team of Chinese envoys – led by Vice Premier Liu He, President Xi Jinping's top economic official – offered a US team headed by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross a package that involved Chinese companies buying more US soybeans, corn, natural gas, crude oil and coal among other agricultural and energy products. Stocks briefly rallied on the news, but the gains then quickly faded as the market realized this was nothing more (or less) than prior such gambits offered by China.
China's voluntary proposal comes as president Trump pushes China to commit to reduce the $375 billion US merchandise-trade deficit with China by $200 billion, and while the $70 billion package would help move the US toward that goal, it would be rather insufficient.
Also diluting the Chinese offer, Liu explained that the package would be void if Washington proceeded with plans to impose tariffs on $50 billion in China-made products.
WSJ also points out that US officials are skeptical of the offer for several reasons, including the fact that the US likely wouldn't be able to ramp up agricultural production quickly enough. As of last week, the White House said it would move ahead with tariffs and sanctions restricting China's access to US technology and the US market while punishing Beijing for its purportedly unfair trading practices. If accepted, the offer would benefit the farm-belt states that voted heavily for Trump during the election.
China also offered to get state-owned companies to buy more US natural gas, though that could also be subject to production difficulties.
"Nothing has firmed up yet," one official said. "It would require additional rounds of discussions between the two sides."
It's unclear whether the Trump administration will take the offer seriously, although judging by the market reaction, the early answer is no.

Jeb Bush has a recipe for Republicans to attract more African-American voters.
"Our message is one of hope and aspiration," the former Florida governor said at a Republican women's club dinner in South Carolina on Thursday night. "It isn't one of division and get in line and we'll take care of you with free stuff," Bush said, according to the Washington Post. "Our message is one that is uplifting — that says you can achieve earned success." The "free stuff" comment echoed a line from Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican nominee who struggled with minority voters. That year, Romney said at a Montana fundraiser: "I hope people understand this, your friends who like Obamacare, you remind them of this, if they want more stuff from government tell them to go vote for the other guy — more free stuff." Romney spoke after being booed at an earlier event with the NAACP.
Most agree with Pope Francis on climate change: A poll released Friday morning showed most Americans agree with Pope Francis' call to act on climate change. The Quinnipiac survey found that 61% of American adults agree that more should be done to address the issue, versus 26% who disagree. Francis called yesterday on the U.S. Congress to help fight global warming.

Democrats join 'Cadillac tax' repeal drive: The Washington Examiner reports nine Democratic senators and independent Bernie Sanders introduced legislation to repeal an Obamacare tax on high-cost health-insurance plans. The bill would do away with the "Cadillac tax," a steep new tax scheduled to kick in about two years from now. It would apply to health insurance plans where total spending exceeds $10,022 for an individual or $27,500 for a family. The Examiner says Republicans have long wanted to repeal the tax, but now more Democrats are worried about how it could affect the ability of employers to offer better plans to those who want them.
Kanye West on Ben Carson: 'Brilliant.' Rapper and record producer Kanye West had high praise for Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson in an interview with Vanity Fair, calling the retired neurosurgeon "brilliant." West tells the magazine: "As soon as I heard [Ben] Carson speak, I tried for three weeks to get on the phone with him. I was like this is the most brilliant guy." West also said he's "definitely" still interested in running for president himself — though he'd prefer "not to run against someone."
Trump says photos made him 'look like a shmuck': Donald Trump isn't pleased with the Associated Press photographer who took a photograph of several empty chairs at an event in South Carolina on Wednesday. Trump told the Daily Mail the photographer is "a [expletive] thief" and a "fraud." Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, told the Daily Mail the room was full. "Everybody surged forward," he said. "I was speaking from the podium. Everybody was wrapped around the podium. If they hadn't done that, there wouldn't have been an empty seat."

Comprehensive Pharmacy Dispensing Service for In-patients and Outpatients
Dispensary Telephone - 02392 286117
Director of Medicines Optimisation & Pharmacy: Amanda Cooper - email@example.com
Associate Director Medicines Optimisation and Pharmacy: Luke Groves - email@example.com
Not applicable
Main Dispensary C Level, Near North Entrance Queen Alexandra Hospital
In June 2014, Lord Carter of Coles was appointed to the position of Chair of a new NHS Procurement & Efficiency Board to direct the NHS Procurement & Efficiency Programme and its portfolio of projects. In accepting this role he stated his intent to include a review of hospital pharmacy and medicines optimisation in the work of the board. In February 2016, Lord Carter published his final report identifying unwarranted variation across all of the main resource areas worth an estimated £5billion in terms of efficiency opportunity. Of this, the report stated that the NHS could save at least £800million through transforming hospital pharmacy services and medicines optimisation. It made eight recommendations at acute Trust, regional and national levels.
A key requirement of Lord Carter's report was that all trusts are required to submit a board-approved hospital pharmacy transformation plan (HPTP) to NHS Improvement by April 2017. The purpose of these plans is to inform Trust boards, NHS Improvement regional and national teams how trusts will meet their Model Hospital benchmarks and the specific requirements contained in the Carter final report.
This is the HPTP for Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, which was approved by the Trust board in January 2017.

I moved my original Pumpkin pick to Set on Halloween, because it worked there super well, and slotted in a new Pumpkin read - and filling in a Set on Halloween gets me another bingo.
I also, due to the sheer torment of reading it, am using City of Bones by Cassandra Clare as my Young Adult Horror. It's Young Adult and it horrifies me. I understand Cassie is actually a really sweet woman. But dear lord, this book. It's like "you know what isn't angsty enough? Twilight! Also, a single love triangle isn't enough. Let's add another handful and some possible incest in to boot!"
That gets me my third bingo.
(I also managed to now hit all four corners and the middle if that counts as well)
And as a one off I slotted in Summerlong by Peter S. Beagle as Magical Realism. It doesn't sweep me along like most of his prose, but is still a lovely book.
Read by Candlelight or flashlight: Insatiable / Meg Cabot
Phone is close enough, right? Also eff this book.
Magical Realism: Summerlong / Peter S. Beagle
Beautifully written, but didn't sweep me along like most of his fiction does.
Witches: Witches Abroad / Terry Pratchett
Pratchett had a gift for turning his anger into hilarious satire.
Genre: Horror:
Black Cat: Gone with the Witch / Annette Blair
Marshmallowy and utterly predictable romance, with a stunning array of ridiculous and creative sexual metaphors.
Diverse Authors Can Be Spooky Fun!: Women Destroy Science Fiction / Lightspeed Magazine
Truly excellent collection of stories, and it fits both diverse authors and spooky. N.K. Jemisin's story in particular hits some particular notes of body horror in my mind. Not every story was a win for me, but fantastic work overall.
Ghost Stories and Haunted Houses: The Crow: Volume One: Pain & Fear / James O'Barr
I re-read this series probably close to once a year. In its own way it's beautiful. Also a potential fill for Dark & stormy night.
Young Adult Horror: City of Bones / Cassandra Clare
This book is Young Adult and reading it was a horrifying experience. I understand Cassie is actually a really sweet woman. But dear lord, this book. It's like "you know what isn't angsty enough? Twilight! Also, a single love triangle isn't enough. Let's add another handful and some possible incest in to boot!" If people object to this choice I'm reading probably two actually YA Horror novels in a week or two.
Scary Women (Authors): The Dangers of Dating a Rebound Vampire / Molly Harper
You know what's scary about this book? Gigi getting "nice guy'ed." It's fucked up and way too relate-able (even if it's an extreme situation). Her vampire family is rather over the top protective of her... but then they're all nearly indestructible immortals and she's an attractive snack working in a vampire office building. So there's that. Significant time gap between this and the previous book in the series (and even more since this and the book before where we actually meet Gigi), and references events in a short story that I've never read.
Read with (BookLikes) Friends: The Yellow Wallpaper / Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Short story, glad I finally read it, glad I shared the read. In a few thousand words we have everything you ever need to know to understand gaslighting and the feminine mystique.
Grave or Graveyard: The Crow: Volume Three: Death / James O'Barr
Volume Three we see Eric in the graveyard, finally going to join Shelley in death.
Genre: Mystery:
Free Space (with a crow icon...): The Crow: Volume Two: Irony & Despair / James O'Barr
Um... how could I not put one of the three volumes in that free space, it sort of needed to be even though this could go elsewhere.
Creepy Crawlies: Call of C'thulhu Keeper's Guide, 7e / Chaosium Games
So happy to finally have this in hand, I've been running A Time to Harvest as part of Chaosium's organized play program for a few months with just the quick-start rules. High quality and production value, gorgeous art and layout, very good clarity in conveying rules and good support for flexibility in rules to Keeper taste.
"Fall" into a good book: A Local Habitation (October Daye #2) / Seanan McGuire
I could not resist the pun of slotting this book here. I'm happy to finally be getting to this series (I've read the first and most recent books), and I can't deny the amount I've been pulling on McGuire's work as inspiration in the various LARP projects I'm involved in. Great read, starting #3 soon.
Locked Room Mystery:
It was a dark and stormy night:
Set in New England:
Full Moon: The Brotherhood of the Wheel / R.S. Belcher
"Full Moon" for the cover art, but there's really no concern with the actual phase of the moon in the story. Dark fantasy that might slip into horror, a whole lot of world building delivered in a tight package, and heavy action. I definitely dug the road aspect, and the cadence sucked me in right off the bat. The combat is a bit unrealistic at points, but there's also a supernatural element for quite a bit of it. This would make for a fantastic action film, and it's wrapped up in a way that leaves room for a sequel.
Vampires vs. Werewolves: Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires / Molly Harper
Has werewolves and vampires, but they affectionately snark each other rather than than have some sort of long standing feud.
Supernatural: A Witch's Handbook of Kisses and Curses / Molly Harper
Not Harper's best, but snarky, cute fun.
Classic horror:
Pumpkin: The Single Undead Mom's Club / Molly Harper
A big school pumpkin/Halloween festival is a large part of the story, so I shuffled this one in. Probably my favorite of the non-Nice Girl Halfmoon Hollow books.
Set on Halloween:
The Cottage on Pumpkin and Vine / Kate Angell, Jennifer Dawson, Sharla Lovelace
Sweet and enjoyable contemporary romance. Three authors writing stories that revolve around a single location. Originally for "Pumpkin" but shuffled to fit a different book in later.

How to Build Custom Closet Design Ideas Step By Step
Are you looking for custom closet design ideas to build custom walkin closet? I have here how to build custom closet design ideas you will love.
How to Build Custom Closet Design Ideas Step By Step
1. Introduction
Many home centers sell closet kits that a home owner can install in a weekend that provide quite a bit of flexibility to meet your needs and space requirements. If you are just looking for a basic custom closet design ideas for storage then you are all set.
However, if you want something that is unique, custom to your space requirements, and perhaps utilize the space even more efficiently then you need to be more creative. One extreme is to have a complete custom closet designed and built, which can cost many thousands of dollars. This guide will give you some great custom closet design ideas to get the best of both worlds, by have something that will be unique just for you, yet not break the bank.
Closet design and installation is not difficult for a homeowner to do, as long as he or she takes the time to plan out all of the steps, has the right tools and the patience.
The approach that we will discuss here is a combination of furniture refinishing, rough carpentry, finished carpentry and finally painting. This said, each of these steps can be quickly acquired with some basic knowledge and the use of the right tools.
2. Where Do You Start
If you open your closet door and what you see is a mess, you could become overwhelmed with the amount of work it will take to get organized and complete the closet project. This does not have to be the case, and with some careful planning we took one closet that was a disaster and in 3 days transformed it into a show room closet. In the end this closet was well organized built-ins that would rival a main living area.
As you start to design your closet, there are a variety of areas and points to consider as follows:
- Areas for shoes (both standard, and higher boot styles) making them easily visible
- Hanging rods for short items such as shirts and pants
- Hanging rods for long garments, such as dresses
- Personal care items that can be placed complementary baskets
Also consider items that can be placed on any open wall area for both functional use, as well as aesthetic appeal such as a mirror and pictures. A mirror can serve multiple purposes.
- Functional use as a mirror when dressing
- Reflects the overhead lighting to further illuminate the shelving and lower areas
- To give the perception of the space being even bigger
Before you start to design the layout, it is important to understand how much storage areas you currently have to make sure you end up with more space in the end.
- Measure how many linear feet of hanging rods you have for:
- Short clothing such as shirts
- Long clothing such as dresses.
- How many feet of shoe space do you have
- Amount of shelving for shirts and other items.
Create a floor plan by measuring the room size including:
- Length and width
- The ceiling height
- Identify any other obstructions that may be in the area such as a ceiling beam.
Next draw a scaled sketch of the floor plan on drafting paper and identify each wall area and assign a function:
- Shoes
- General storage
- Hanging rods for hanging shirts, pants
- Hanging Rods for long garments such as dresses
- Location of furniture pieces like the dressers.
3. Designing A One Of A Kind Closet
Now that you know what you have to work with lets get down to designing your custom closet. You could purchase a complete closet kit that everything easily fits together, or create a completely custom closet with hand crafted cabinets and woodwork. The approach we will take is a way to get that fully custom look by taking advantage of furniture that is readably available.
Depending upon what your budget is, you may be able to find a dresser for as little as $30 at a yard sale, or more upscale with a vintage piece of furniture that can become the focal point of your closet. Remember a closet is not just for storage, but can also be an extension of your living space.
A unique approach to creating a custom closet is to use antique furniture or other furniture that you purchased at a flea market. The furniture does not have to be in great condition but you do want to be sure that it functions properly, drawers and doors work well, as well as will fit into the space you have defined. For small closet areas, the biggest challenge will be to find a furniture piece that fits, as well as is proportionate to the area.
By starting with some existing furniture pieces you can see what works for you, and then design the rest of the closet around it.
4. Finish Carpentry and Final Notes
You could stop now that you have all of the storage areas in place, but without the finishing
touches it will only look to be 50% complete even though it is fully functional. Applying a variety of moldings will add the finishing touches making your closet look like a piece of furniture rivaling that of a professional woodworker The other benefit of this trim is that it will hide many of the irregularities between the pieces and the walls.
One of the simplest molding installations for the Do It Yourself person uses corner (plinth) blocks and base blocks. The use of these accessories eliminates the need for bevel and miter cuts, and requires only straight cuts, and putting the pieces together by butting them next to one another.
Designing and installing a custom closet provides both added functionality and improved home appearance. A well designed closet is efficient and provides an easy way to keep things organized.

Paving the Way for the Next Generation of Artists
Taking the reins Joseph C. Bennett is on a mission to take TalentRaters (TR) to the next level. Dreams can come true with hard work and dedication but for Joe, his mission is above and beyond aiding in the pursuit to bring a global community of artists, entertainers, models and actors together for exposure in receiving online support and recognition within TR MAGAZINE. The business is growing rapidly and with a secure business model and concept we need investors to help unite a community of artists and entertainers. The underlying motive and key to success is love and passion. A fuel that motivates us in fulfilling our purpose and soul mission.
As we know music is the drug we crave that encapsulating soul food which connects us to an emotionally happier place. A sacred space for our hearts to heal, for our minds to clear. It is the therapeutic medicine to reduce stress, depression, social and emotional barriers.
This is the motivation for TalentRaters to take the talent industry to the next level. We want to move people, we want to create a family, a global phenomenon. We are in the twenty first century which means without technology we are without a future. So, with this fast-paced world we can take the entertainment industry above and beyond because everybody matters. We can create a movement, we can help aid a society that because of technology we are becoming more subdued living in a world behind virtual walls instead of human interaction. This is why we must plant the seed of growth within the TR family. We have a huge project a big vision, and a complete restructure within the TR plan.
What would a world be like without entertainment, arts and music? A world a population of heartless compositions?
Love is the only eternal flame which moves us along our path because we are always following our heart over logic and without the melodic harmony that stabilizes our emotional state could lead us to endeavor a very dark path.
How many people would say they don't listen to music? A rare few maybe, but needless to say there would be more unmotivated individuals, road rage and broken hearts without the melodic harmony which heals our soul and keeps us emotionally sane whilst we endeavor throughout our Journey of life.
TR has a concept to reach out, connect, explore and promote all talent because without talent and entertainment there is no imagination and without imagination we cannot progress forward.
Music is undeniably the fuse between our body mind and soul and it is credential that we appreciate the confidence and talent behind gifted artists. So, by listening to our favorite artists, what makes them so special to another musician that hasn't had the opportunity in stepping into the spotlight? Is it the millions of dollars contracts, endorsements and advertising that we instantly connect to the latest track being played on the radio? Is it the latest fashion trends worn by our most popular artists and celebrities all over the latest gossip magazines which melts our hearts and puts a little fire back in our confidence? What is it that makes us, connect ourselves to artists within the entertainment industry?
As we are driven by emotion, of heartache pain happiness and love. We need to feel similarity like a piece of heaven is connecting with our soul, an essence of who we are and who we were born to become. Depending on our mood cycle we listen to songs, a particular voice, the lyrics a story to mirror our mood and within that we can release tension and connect on an emotional level.
So where do we find the hidden gems without Sony or Warner taking them under construction, for hard work, long hours, performances and tours. Well we don't unless a little public exposition is announced.
TalentRaters is THE place that honors and respects, artistic talented individuals, with a commitment and mission towards giving each talent as much exposure and opportunity within the industry. Joseph Bennett director and founder of TR has endured a hard struggle a long wind of setbacks, dead ends, and missed opportunities throughout his life. Although what was always missed, burning deep inside this beautiful soul was a vision to build an empire. An empire in the pursuit to bring America's roots back after the devastating catastrophic attacks with 911. Joe states that after the catastrophe Americans are more cautious, afraid and reclusive. Joe is reaching out with a vision in Joining hands with everybody nationally and globally. Commuting a broad network of talented artists. The vision is to bring together a community, a movement to shift a coldness and bring a warmth to the population by showcasing live community events in the aid to raise money for charitable causes with partial proceeds from TR MAGAZINE. The TR family delivers a helping hand, sense of warmth, compassion, recognition, exposure and endless possibilities and with a motivated team who are very passionate about helping a society with a goal to make dreams come true.
Showcasing untapped talent is within TRs reach and plan if they can find more capital to assist in their endeavors and business affairs.
Living in the shadows most of his life Joe Bennett felt the need to help the community. What came apparent in his core and soul was from an emptiness of missed opportunities and setbacks, ongoing health issues which restricted him from ever opening that door but the beautiful story was that Joe's dream was to replace I with YOU! It's not about me it's about helping the ones like me, the ones who wanted to give up because they don't know how or who to go to, or receive a negative response from family and friends about following an unpromising career…..
As we are driven by ego and fulfilment in requiring acceptance and social status, Joe isn't.
Joe from 11 years of age had a dream in becoming a singer and rock star.
"I was always living in the shadows, but at 18 years of age I saved up to buy my first drum kit. I locked myself away in the basement and I would play, but every time I was faced with people I lacked confidence and I was scared of being judged. I never felt accepted, I always felt like I didn't belong here and that's what lead me to TR."
Re-writing the script not of his Journey but correcting what came apparent from missed opportunities Joe is rediscovering himself and what lies deep inside of this angel is a healer and teacher with so much love to give. How big can TR go? A strong business plan and vision requires a bigger team of business professionals who are willing to assist with funding so that TR has more working capital to restructure and develop the platform building on their business module.
With the right team, TR will aid in a building a greater America forming a global awareness and bringing a community together.
How can this be done? How can one man enduring a hard road most of his life put this plan into action with a visionary concept and pursuit to bring a global unity of talent with the mission to raise money, hold community events, live performances, create work for artists and push sales of TR MAGAZINE.
Joe Bennett was never able to open that door for himself, but with his pain and misery and painful setbacks, of what could have been is now his own mission that he must leave a legacy.
"Until I leave this earth I am going to put this as my no1 priority I will work three Jobs if I have too. This is my dream to help others to raise money for the poor. The suffering. The homeless and the children in Orphanages".
The horizon stretches far but for Joe but the mission to accomplish a broad network with proper members and directors, he needs funding and is reaching out to find potential investors that are willing to be a part of the plan.
"You can't climb the ladder of success with the hands in the pockets"
"You have to break the rules! If I can train five hours a day in body building I can do anything"
Arnold Schwarzenegger demonstrates how our minds can move us to our chosen destiny. With his famous line in The Terminator "I'll be back", states that after success is achieved we can build on what we have achieved. Returning and perfecting success. That's the beauty of breaking the rules and pushing through unexpected obstacles as we can all get there bringing to us more wisdom and knowledge.
Inspired to be a born leader Joe resonates his motivation from the 1980 Rocky Scene (Mickey Loves You)
"Doing as well as you're doing gives me motivation to stay alive. I think people die sometimes when they don't want to live. Little by little we lose, we lose friends, we keep losing and losing. But with you kid. Boy I got a reason to go on and stay alive and watch you and when I leave you, not only will you know how to fight but you will know how to fight and survive outside the ring."
Joe wants to help and join hands with many just like him, we want to spread the love and deliver it by helping, commuting, directing, producing and exposing talent within TR.
The emphasis is to form a unity from all musical genres. With 9% of the population signed, it is our desire to make TalentRaters the most prestige number one Executive Talent Search in the world. Having the right investors will enable a more productive approach. TR will fill positions properly as the business needs more staff and a successful team to accomplish TR's mission and concept.
Individuals that can step outside the box and bring poetry to life with any form of music are unique. All musicians have their own distinct style and their own story. Why not share their love and their story in a mission bringing nations together forming a global unity? Musicians and artists leave a legacy with music, so why not embrace everybody instead of only 9%. We are all children of God, blessed in a unique way. Everybody listens to music and that's the beauty of it. Music makes history.
Joe states, "My mission is not about ME but for others like ME. I will do this I will push myself. It's not about my past, it's about NOW! I want everybody that has a dream to fulfill my dreams of when I wanted it but couldn't! I want everybody else to be what THEY WANT TO BE and that's a star to everybody!

Cambodia has deported tourists for taking nude photos of each other at the famed Angkor Wat temple complex for the second time in as many weeks.
Lindsey Adams (22) and her sister Leslie (20), from Prescott, Arizona, U.S., were convicted of public exposure and making pornographic images at the UNESCO World Heritage site. Each received a six-month suspended sentence and a 1 million riel (US$244) fine.
"They lowered their pants to their knees and took pictures of their buttocks," said Keat Bunthan, a senior heritage police official in northwestern Siem Reap province, according to AFP.
The sisters were deported late Saturday and will not be allowed to return to Cambodia for four years. Authorities say the pair confessed their crimes and admitted their mistake.
Last week we reported that three French tourists were deported for also taking nude pictures of themselves at the famed temple complex. The trio – aged in their late teens and early 20s – also received six-month suspended sentences, were fined about US$250 each and were immediately deported from the country after they were convicted of producing pornography and for "exposure of sexual organs".
While the French tourists claimed they took the photos as souvenirs, prosecutor Koeut Sovannareth told AFP that he believed the men were planning to publish the images.
"They said their goal was to take nude photos to keep as souvenirs, but we believe that their intention was to use the photos in publications such as a calendar," he said.
These developments follow the circulation of photos on social media in January showing what appears to be a topless Asian women at the UNESCO World Heritage site. However, Chau Sun Kerya, spokesperson for Apsara Authority which oversees the temples in the Angkor Wat complex, said she believed that those images were photoshopped.
"We suspect they are photoshopped pictures, rather than real pictures, because professional photos need at least a half hour to prepare the place, and this is a tourist place, so they could not have done it. It's impossible."
Angkor Wat, which is considered a sacred site in Cambodia, attracts more than 2 million visitors a year and features on the Cambodia national flag. Authorities have said they are "deeply offended" by the actions of the tourists.

Country of Origin: Southwestern USA - Rio Grande River

Rio Grande Turkey Hunting Gallery # 1
The landscape on our Brackettville Ranch is perfect habitat for not only high populations of Rio Grange Turkey but big mature gobblers. To supplement their natural food sources, turkeys enjoy picking corn at our 100 deer feeder stations and drinking from our multiple water stations.
There are also numerous live oak draws throughout the property, which are used as roosting areas by resident turkeys. Several irrigated center pivot systems provide additional water, which generates forbs, seeds and insects for turkeys.
The main Ranch consists of 10,000 acres, two miles North of Brackettville on FM 674. There is also another ranch of about 8,400 acres 10 miles northwest of our main ranch. Rio Grande Turkeys can be found at both locations in great numbers.
Our guests enjoy an extremely high success rate (close to 100%) with many hunters taking more than one gobbler. Hens average in the 8 to 12-pound range and the male gobblers reach 20-pounds at maturity with many getting bigger due to the availability of food on our ranch.
Spring turkey season for the ranch in 2007 is March 31st through May 13th.

(Adds background on Tan and DBS, share movement)
Nov 13 (Reuters) - DBS Group Holdings Ltd, Southeast Asia's biggest lender, announced several senior management changes on Tuesday, including a new head of its institutional banking group (IBG).
Tan Su Shan, currently leading DBS' consumer banking and wealth management division, will take up her new post at IBG on Feb. 1, the bank said in a statement.
Since Tan joined DBS in 2010, its consumer banking and wealth management group has grown to account for about 40 percent of its total revenue of S$11.9 billion in 2017. In 2010, the business accounted for about 29 percent of DBS' revenue.
Tan will replace Jeanette Wong, who will retire in March.
DBS has become one of the biggest private banks in Asia, helped by medium-sized acquisitions such as the purchase of the Asian wealth assets of Societe Generale and the acquisition of ANZ's retail and wealth business.
The bank has picked Sim S. Lim, its Singapore country head and an industry veteran, to lead consumer banking and wealth management, the statement said.
DBS' head of strategy and planning, Shee Tse Koon, will assume Sim's post as country head next month.
DBS shares closed down almost 1 percent at S$23.32, their lowest in about two weeks, in a wider market that was down half a percent. (Reporting by Nikhil Kurian Nainan in Bengaluru, additional reporting by Anshuman Daga in Singapore; editing by Darren Schuettler and Himani Sarkar)

Chronic absenteeism effects 5 to 7.5 million students in the United States. Students who are chronically absent are developmentally behind, suffer academically, and have increased negative behaviors in school. This results in students receiving lower academic marks affecting their GPA, receiving more referrals, and being retained. Chronic absenteeism is defined as students who are absent from school 20 or more days, 10 percent of the year, or 3 days in a month both excused and unexcused. The purpose of the study was to review chronic absenteeism at Brockport High School and determine the correlation between students GPA, the referrals they received, and retention rate. Brockport High School reported having 140 students (e.g. 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders) chronically absent from school during the 2014-2015 school year. The findings in the results displayed that there was a correlation between chronic absenteeism and the three variables (GPA, Referrals, and Retention). The results are further discussed as well as those limitations and implications of the research. Recommendations for further studies are explored as well.

Deciding on a excellent public relations agency that fits to your require is an crucial portion of your organization strategy. The independent PR evaluation internet site unveils new rankings every month, and 5WPR has been a best performer right from the get to. Considerably of its credit goes to the CEO and founder of the firm, Ronn Torossian who vast knowledge, preserve sense of public relations, and the will to attain the prime has helped 5WPR emerge as a front runner amongst all the public relations agencies in the US, such as New York.
A public relation business as we all know acts as a mediator amongst the firm and the public, it is with the support of the public relation business that a organization or any big or small organization is capable to interact with the common public and meet the requirements of the public, therefore public relation agency is the soul of the firm with no which a firm or an organization would uncover it extremely challenging to get in touch with the public and know what they truly want.
I would verify any huge agency via your college or university to get credit. Your PR agency serves as a hyperlink amongst you and your target audience, they know your strengths and since they are functioning with you, they have the expertise and knowledge to camouflage your flaws. And yes, I strategy on either interning my Junior or Senior years at an agency or possibly obtaining a tiny job at 1 post graduation.
In this way, the PR Firm will have sensible promotion techniques on their finger ideas that will be crucial in meeting your PR objectives clearly. Organization law is a great decision with a minor in pr. Film research is a sensible selection, but probably this can be an elective course that you can mention on your resume. The only draw back with functioning with a non-union agency is that they are not regulated thus, the rules of getting a talent agency may well not be the very same as a union agency.
Just before selecting a PR agency or hiring a PR professional you require to recognize your enterprise requirements extremely properly. In smaller in-residence PR departments it seems it can typically take someone to leave before you can obtain your desired profession progression. There are several on the web PR agencies support you to spread your word to the thousands of potential client via net extremely quickly.

Choosing a baby name is a lot of work. New parents have a daunting task ahead of them. There's so much pressure to pick one name that will be absolutely perfect for the little guy or girl. Parents want a name that is strong but also sensitive. It has to be pretty but also serious. It can't be too exotic or too boring. They want it to be popular but not so popular that everyone at the playground has the same name. They want a name that will honor their culture, heritage, traditions, religion and family. But they also want a name that the child can make their own. So what does mom and dad do?
It's hard and there really is no right answer. If parents are really stuck, they can shoehorn in a few middle names so they don't have to part with all of their favorites. But at the end of the day, they still have to pick one first name that will magically be everything they want it to be. And it also has to please all of their family members and friends who are eagrely awaiting the name reveal.
We may not be able to tell everyone exactly what to name their child, but we can give parents some great ideas to spark the inspiration. And better than that, we can tell parents which names they may want to avoid. It's not that these names are bad or ugly. They're beautiful names! But by the time 2019 rolls around, we will have heard enough of these ones. So do us a favor parents and just retire them already!
25 Jacob
Jacob is a strong name. It's sturdy and has survived through all of the trends. It's a name with staying power. And it also has the religious element if you're looking for a biblical name. Baby Center tells us, "Jacob is an important biblical patriarch, the father of 12 sons who gave their names to the 12 tribes of Israel. Jacob has long been a popular Jewish name and has been a top 100 U.S. name for 30-plus years." And therein lies the problem. Jacob peaked in 1999 but is still a top 20 name today.
24 Mackenzie
Mackenzie is another name that you're going to hear a lot around the playground. This name has the added benefit, or detriment, or being spelled many different ways. You have Mackenzie, Mackenzy, Mckenzie, Mackynzie, and so on and so forth. Baby Center shares, "In Gaelic, it means "comely." It can also mean "child of the wise leader" and "born of fire." It's used as both a boys' and a girls' name but is more popular for girls." Mackenzie reached peak popularity in 2001 and has remained popular ever since.
23 Liam
I will admit that Liam used to be my favorite name. I still think it's such a great choice for a little boy. It's short and easy to spell with only one traditional way to spell it. It's a great play on the more classic and old-sounding, William. It has some style to it and it just sounds cool. But you know who else thinks that? Every parent who has had a child in the last decade. Liam was the number one baby boy name in 2018 and 2017. And it was in the number two spot from 2013 to 2016. So please think twice before grabbing this moniker.
22 Isabella
Isabella is another gorgeous name. It sounds poetic and exotic without being too out there. There's a melodic quality to it and you can see a Princess Isabella strolling around her Italian villa. But it's not too pretentious, so Isabella will still fit in at her daycare in the suburbs. But other parents are seeing the light on Isabella too. In fact, the name has remained in the top five for baby girls since 2006. That's 12 years of Isabellas! Get ready to come up with a really creative nickname if you're choosing Isabella for your little one.
21 Ava
Ava is another name that I absolutely adore. I think it's just so short and simple. But in just three letters it is able to convey strength, beauty and style. I love this name! When Reese Witherspoon chose this for her daughter, I was immediately enchanted and swore to use the same name for my future daughter. And it seems I wasn't alone. A lot of other parents want to follow in Reese's footsteps. Like Isabella, Ava has been a top five name since 2006. So get ready to see a lot of little Avas running around!
20 Aiden
When my uncle chose Aiden for his son's name (actually spelling it Aidan), I thought it was a really cool choice. Aiden is unique but not too strange. It's both sensitive and strong. I think it's a great choice for a baby boy. But my uncle certainly wasn't reinventing the wheel. It seems that Aiden is the hot name of the last decade. Aiden peaked in 2010 and has consistently ranked in the top 20 in the last ten years. If you want to be slightly more unique, you could spell this name Aidan or Ayden, but that may just add to the confusion.
19 Sophia
Sophia is a beautiful name for a little girl. It sounds very old-world and European without being too far fetched for a North American family. In Greek, Sophia means wisdom. And who doesn't want their little girl to be wise? There are also lots of famous name bearers like Sophia Loren, Sophia Coppola, Sofia Vergara and Sophia Bush. Plus you can opt for the slightly different Sofia or Sophie. Sophia held the number one spot from 2011 to 2013 and has been in the top five since 2009.
18 Noah
Noah is another one of my favorites! This name works for those looking for something biblical and for fans of Ryan Gosling in The Notebook. Noah is a sturdy name. It sounds dependable and loyal. It also sounds like someone who is wise, cultured and good looking. Basically, it's a pretty perfect name! And parents seem to agree. Noah was the number one baby boy name from 2013 to 2016. In 2017 and 2018, it only dropped down one spot to number two. So expect to meet a lot of Noahs on the first day of school.
17 Madison
Parents are loving these M names for their little girls! Madison, Mackenzie, Mackayla and all the rest are a big hit amongst parents. And like the other M names, there are lots of different ways to spell Madison. We've seen it as Maddison, Madyson, Madisin and more. Madison peaked in 2001 coming in at the number two spot and remained in the top five for a while. These days, Madison is just out of the top 20 so it seems to be losing steam. But it's still a popular choice for parents.
16 Lucas
Lucas is another name that is a really solid choice and has received a lot of love in recent years. Lucas is a more modern version of Luke or Lucius and it means "light-giving" or "illumination." So it's a pretty wonderful name! And if you happen to be looking for something biblical, Lucas can be a good tribute to New Testament writer and disciple, Luke. Lucas began climbing up the charts in the 1970s and hasn't slowed since. It cracked the top 20 in 2014 and in 2018 sits in the number four spot.
15 Emma
Emma is another sweet name that has made a resurgence in recent years. At first, I thought Emma was an older name. It was clearly popular 20-30 years ago giving us notable Emmas like Emma Watson, Emma Stone and Baby Spice Emma Bunton. But the name began to grow in popularity again in the early 2000s. And now Emma has been the number one name for the last four years! That's right - four years in a row we saw Emma come in as the most popular baby girl name. Watch out world, here comes Emma!
14 Milo
Now Milo is an interesting addition to this list. For starters, it's a beautiful name. Milo is a Greek name and is about as cool and exotic as you can get without being too crazy. It's a great name! However, it's rising in popularity very very quickly. In the last 15 years, the name Milo has been shooting up the charts. In 2018, the name came in at #158 on the charts. So it certainly isn't the most popular name. But it did move up 48 spots from 2017. Plus, with the popularity of This Is Us and star Milo Ventimiglia, this name is only going to keep growing in popularity. If you don't want to be on the next bandwagon name, leave this one behind.
13 Luna
Luna is another name that has gotten a lot of love recently. Like Milo, Luna has seen a huge surge in popularity in the last 15 years. Thanks to people like Chrissy Teigen and John Legend choosing this name for their little girl, the rest of us non-celebrities have woken up to this adorable name. How sweet is it for a little girl? The sweetest! Luna came in at #16 on the charts in 2018, which is huge considering it was at #110 only three years ago. Here comes Luna!
12 Oliver
Oliver is a strong and historic name. It has character and has been around for a very long time. Everyone knows the name Oliver and it definitely sounds very comfortable and fitting for a little guy. If you go for Oliver, you'll have great namesakes in Oliver Twist, John Oliver and Jamie Oliver. You could also opt for the French version, Olivier. Oliver sits at #3 in 2018 on the baby name charts, so it's a very popular choice. The name has been moving fast up the charts since the early 2000s.
11 Charlotte
Charlotte is a huge name and another personal favorite of mine. I think this name is so sweet and I love the nickname options with Charlie, Lottie and Char. But I'm not alone in loving this moniker. It was the choice for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (aka Prince William and Catherine) as well as Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky. There's also the famous Charlottes: Charlotte Bronte, Charlotte from Charlotte's Web and Charlotte from Sex and The City. Charlotte comes in at #8 in 2018 and has been top ten in the last five years.
10 Wyatt
Wyatt is actually one of my favorite names. I think it's so cool! We very rarely see names with "y" in the middle and used as a vowel. And W names are also pretty rare. I enjoy names that are short and snappy and stradle the line well between strong and sensitive. So Wyatt is perfect. But why do I want it to be retired in 2019? Because everyone else is picking up on how great this name is. Wyatt appears on all of the baby name lists and has been shooting up the charts in recent years.
9 Emily
Emily is a beautiful and classic name. It's so pretty and has such strong staying power. This name has been around forever. And that's just the problem. It's really not that unique. It wouldn't be odd to meet an Emily who is 10 years old, 20 years old, 30 years old or even 40 years old. This name has been around for so long and isn't all that unique or new anymore. But it's also not old enough to be a historic name. Emily was the #1 name for an impressive 11 years from 1996 to 2007. And it's still popular today!
8 Michael
Michael is another name that is sturdy and strong. Like Emily, this name has been around a very long time and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Baby Center tells us, "In the Bible, St. Michael leads the angels against the army of Satan and becomes the patron saint of soldiers." Michael has been a popular name since the early 1900s and was at its peak in the early 2000s. Still today, Michael is at #15 on the baby name charts. This name will always be popular among parents but definitely isn't new or unique.
7 Elsa
One reason we want certain names to be retired in 2019 is because they are just too popular. We are tired of hearing parents name their kids Emma or Aiden. We just don't want a preschool class full of Avas, Charlottes and Lucases. But another reason to retire names is because they're trendy and that trend won't last forever. Case in point: Elsa. Elsa is a beautiful name. It's very pretty and was first popular in the 1800s. But Elsa again shot up the charts afer the release of Disney's Frozen. But do you want someone to sing "Let It Go" everytime your child is introduced? Probably not.
6 Atticus
Atticus is a controversial choice for this list. Because, to be honest, Atticus is set to be a hot name in 2019. Atticus is everything new parents want in a name - it's unique and not a name we probably hear in our own circles of friends or family. It's got a cool hipster quality to it. And it shows that you're very well read with the famous name bearer being Atticus Finch from Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. But if you haven't scooped up this name yet, it may be too late. This name is gaining in popularity quick. And if you're not prepared to post adorable photos of your kid in a wool hat in a Brooklyn coffee shop on Instagram, this name might not be too fitting.
5 Lennon
Lennon is another controversial choice for this list. I love the name Lennon. I think it's really pretty. And I love that it's a unisex name, even though it is more popular for girls these days. The name Lennon means little cape. Cute for a baby, right? But most people know the name "Lennon" as in John Lennon of The Beatles. Now, don't get me wrong. I am a huge Beatles fan. My mom was in love with John Lennon and I grew up listening to their music. But like Atticus, this name is a bit of a trope for hipster parents looking to grab onto something that screams culture. Let's just say, if you can't name at least five songs by The Beatles, you can't use the name Lennon.
4 Lincoln
Lincoln is a cool name that just screams 2018. One of the big trends in the last decade has been using last names as first names. And in 2018, with all of the talk of politics and the hype around the musical Hamilton, the coolest last names to turn into modern first names are presidential ones. So Lincoln is the perfect choice! It's also a unisex name. I'm all for this super cool name, but do know that this name has skyrocketed up the charts in the last five years. You definitely won't be the first person on this bandwagon.
3 Bowie
Speaking of trends, we now have the name Bowie. Without context, the name Bowie is super cool. It means yellow-haired and could work for a boy or a girl. It sounds super unique and stylish. And it's an obvious ode to music legend, David Bowie. If you have chosen this name ten years ago, you would be a genius. But with the passing of David Bowie in 2016, the name Bowie has gained an insane amount of popularity in the last couple of years. The name actually jumped 1,048 spots from 2015 to 2016.
2 Aria
Here's another name that is beautiful on its own but way too trendy to have staying power. If you name your daughter Aria from 2011 to 2020, everyone will assume you are naming her after Game of Thrones' Aria Stark. Of course, there's nothing wrong with honoring an awesome TV and book character. Aria Stark is a strong woman who is independent and tough. She's a little ruthless and cruel, but we can forget those parts. But everyone will associate your Aria with Game of Thrones, and all of the other Arias in her class. Don't you want her to make her own way without the GoT cloud over her?
1 Theo
Theo is another one of my favorite names! This name is so cute but also could work for a grown up when your baby boy is baby no longer. Theo is usually short for Theodore, but many modern parents are using nicknames as real names. Theo is also a nod to former president Theodore Roosevelt. And we already know that presidential names have been very popular this year. So basically, Theo has it all. And that's why it should be avoided. This name is climbing up the charts at an alarming rate. In the last eight years, this name has jumped up 50 to 150 spots every year. So make no mistake that this is going to be a top name in 2019 and beyond.

The title of "Surprise" (Warner Bros.), Paul Simon's tenth solo album, would have been appropriate for any of his records of the past twenty years. "Graceland" fused rock and roll with South African mbqanga, to great effect. "The Rhythm of the Saints" touched down in Brazil; "Songs from the Capeman," Puerto Rico. The surprise this time is that Simon isn't globe-trotting (or, as critics would have it, carpetbagging) in search of new sounds. But he hasn't stopped exploring, either—it's just that this time, his restlessness has been subcontracted to Brian Eno, who is credited with creating the "sonic landscape."
Simon's songs have always been about their rhythms—the Latin percussion of "Late in the Evening," the reggae of "Mother and Child Reunion"—and Eno, whether with Talking Heads or on his own, has spent his career perfecting a cerebral brand of funk. He's a strong presence here, outfitting "Everything About It Is a Love Song" with a skittering dance beat and using slide guitar and pointillistic keyboards to build "That's Me." The soundscapes are conspicuous enough that they would be distracting if applied to weaker songs. But Simon remains the most intelligent songwriter of his generation—not the most powerful or the most profound, but the one best able to communicate the romantic and philosophical intricacies of modern life. "I Don't Believe" starts off gentle before erupting into a verse that somehow turns financial panic into a lyrical experience: "I got a call from my broker / The broker informed me I'm broke / I was dealing my last hand of poker / My cards were useless as smoke." "Beautiful" is a bittersweet comedy about a family that adopts children from the world's trouble spots. And the old crank who narrates "Outrageous" may still be physically fit—he does nine hundred sit-ups a day—but he's unable to endure the ordinary world. As with every Paul Simon record, there are plenty of quirky rhymes (intuition/fishing, bridge/fridge) yoked to big questions.
When the pace slows down, pretension sometimes sets in: "Wartime Prayers" has a beautiful melody and sentiment, but it meanders more than Simon's grand ballads ("American Tune," for example) once did. But most of the time, there's a sense of both maturity and rejuvenation. As Simon sings on "How Can You Live in the Northeast?," the album's opener, "I've been given all I wanted / Only three generations off the boat / I have harvested and I've planted / I am wearing my father's old coat."

Smell something burning? It might be your travel plans.
Two volcanic eruptions in Iceland last weekend are wreaking havoc for end-of-summer vacationers. The Bardabunga volcano displayed some relatively mild activity on Friday, but by Sunday was gushing lava at a rate of 1,000 cubic metres per second.
As a result, the Icelandic Meteorological Office was forced to issue the highest aviation warning possible (red) once there were concerns of ash spewing into the sky. Once experts realized that wasn't happening, they lowered the warning level one notch to orange, where it remains now.
Nonetheless, a no-fly zone is still in effect within three nautical miles around the volcano. It's still unclear how this is impacting individual flights at large, but officials say the situation is contained. At the very least, it likely won't be as disruptive as the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajokul, where more than 100,000 flights had to be cancelled.
So while you're waiting for your plane to get the green light, why don't you check out these spectacular images of what's holding you up?
This volcano is about to mess up your travel plans (but it looks cool)
The Bardabunga volcanoIceland's largest volcanic system, which measures 190 km long and up to 25 km wide, has been hit by thousands of earthquakes over the last two weeks. Experts believe the seismic activity is what triggered much of the volatile activity over the weekend.Reuters

The Siberian Crab was a favorite of our father's since the apples become very sweet, almost transparent when they are ripe. The Jonathans mature late and very often get snow on them before we get them picked but they make the best pies. We don't know what the "green" apple tree is - the apples never really look ripe, always staying green, but they make great applesauce. No photos for this site.

25 pieces of Classical Music about Water
To celebrate contributions of agriculture in Nebraska, NET has created lists of music along the themes of Farming, Ranching, Gardening, Forestry & Arboriculture, and Water. Here is the first in observance of National Agriculture Day March 20, and National Agriculture Week March 18—24. You might find some interesting connections between classical music and the land in these pieces. Try requesting one for an upcoming Classics By Request in honor of someone you know in Agriculture.
Incidentally, in the pictures above, starting in the upper left and going clockwise you see a random picture of fish, a pond at Louisville State Recreation Area in Nebraska, stones at the bottom of Long Pine Creek and a curve of the Dismal River.
1. Armand Marsick - La source
2. George Frederic Handel - Water Music This music is for a party, specifically on a barge while floating down the River Thames. You could listen while tanking down the Calamus or Loup.
3. Bedrich Smetana – The Moldau The music depicts the Czech river as it flows through the countryside, starting from mountain springs and becoming a mighty, rushing river. It even flows past a museum about and sculpture of Smetana.
4. Maurice Ravel – Jeux d'Eaux The title translates to either "Water Games" or "Playing Water."
5. Eric Whitacre – The River Cam He wrote this in his head, walking past a river, but also hearing echos of music by Elgar and Vaughn-Williams.
6. Clause Debussy – Poissons d'Or (Goldfish) & Ondine (Water Siren)
7. Paul Dukas – Sorcerer's Apprentice Poor Mickey, those water buckets in Disney's Fantasia just kept multiplying!
8. Amy Marcy Cheney Beach – By the Still Waters This piece has a companion piece, both inspired by Psalms. Beach wrote this following the deaths of loved ones. The music flows calmly.
9. Philippe Gaubert – Over the Water
10. Aaron Copland – Old American Songs, Set 2: "At the River"
11. Sergei Rachmaninoff – Spring Waters
12. Charles Wakefield Cadman – From the land of the sky-blue water The melody of this piece was inspired by an Omaha song. But, the land referenced in the title may actually be Minnesota.
13. Jacques Ibert – Reflections in Water
14. Robert Schumann – the Water Sprite
15. H.R.H Queen Lili'uokolani – Twisting Water
16. Franz Schubert – Songs: The River, By the River, On the River

18. Tony Banks – Still Waters
19. Franz Liszt – At the Source
20. Virgil Thomson – The River Suite Thompson wrote this for a New Deal documentary that focused on waterways in the U.S., even featuring a 1937 flood on the Mississippi. The four movements include American tunes and hymns with a returning trumpet motif throughout the piece. The movements include "The Old South,", "Industrial Expansion in the Mississippi Valley," "Soil Erosion and Floods" and "Finale: We Won't Get Home Until Morning."
21. Frederic Delius – Summer Night on the River While composing this music, Delius was surrounded by flowers as a tributary of the Seine in France flowed by. It is a meditation on peace and tranquility.
22. Xian Xinghai – Yellow River Piano Concerto
23. Ferde Grofe – Hudson River Suite
24. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor – Deep River
25. Robert Lowry – Beautiful River
