After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick. Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near. When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?" He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, "Six months' wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little." One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?" Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost." So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, "This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world."
When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

Elizabeth does not take no for an answer. She's determined, driven, and does not give up. If you need someone in your corner, I'd suggest Elizabeth. She goes to bat for the things and people she believes in, and she's notorious for getting things done. She's loud but listens well. She's sarcastic but supportive, confident but willing to learn. Elizabeth is a pastor, preacher, teacher and in her spare time a wife and mother to three kids. She loves to share a good meal, but be forewarned, she'll definitely be late.
He brings his own french press coffee with him wherever he goes, but happily shares it with anyone who needs a pick me up. His dreads have a power all their own. He'll call you on your BS, but in a way that makes you grateful for his wisdom. He's the guy you want to hang out with over any kind of beverage. His favorite non-holiday is Pentecost, and the Holy Spirit is his jam. He's a pastor, a wise-man, a husband, a father of two girls, a caffeine addict, a native Missourian, and an advocate for justice. He hates wearing shoes.

Design Your Own Shoes (Including Vegan!) Online
Photo: Milk and Honey Shoes
If you invest a pretty little penny, or two, in shoes from department stores--that turn over seasonal footwear collections faster than you can ask: does the shoe fit?--there's a slower fashion alternative. Enter Milk and Honey Shoes; they let you design your own own shoes from your own computer, meaning you get the style, fit, and color that you want, when you want it, and you don't have to worry about their twin siblings being dumped in landfills.
Their small-scale production is certainly green(er) than mass produced footwear, but newly-launched Milk and Honey also has a slew of celebrity followers, including actress Ginnifer Goodwin--of HBO's Big Love fame--who prefers their vegan kicks. The process is simple, just pick flats or heels, heel height, design, color, and materials--as mentioned, they offer non-leather and suede options. And if you'd rather they do the legwork, Milk and Honey offers ready-to-wear kicks for an eco-fashionista on the go.
Design a pair of shoes over at Milk and Honey, prices start at $150, and let us know what you think in the comment section, below.

Extended Outings are a great way to explore the North Country Trail over a few days, while making new friends or reconnecting with old friends. The details are planned for you! It's a great way to expand your hiking horizons.
2018 NCTA EXTENDED OUTING: Hiking in NY's Allegany State Park & PA's Allegheny National Forest
September 23-29, 2018
Allison Powell, NYS Lic. & Insured Guide, 602-451-1269 email@example.com
The 2018 NCTA Extended Outing will feature sections of the North Country Scenic Trail in New York's Allegany State Park (ASP) and Pennsylvania's Alleghany National Forest (ANF), with an extended outing to Letchworth State Park (LSP), voted the best park in the USA in 2015. This outing includes three day-hiking adventures, where you'll trek 6 to 10 miles per day. You will also backpack two days, covering 7.5 to 9 miles each day, with overnight camping at an NCT lean-to.
All three parks have a rich diversity of plant life, wildflowers, hardwood trees and an abundance of wildlife, such as bobcats and black bears. There are many species of birds, including bald eagles, osprey and great blue herons. In addition, the creeks, wetlands and lakes are abundant with turtles, frogs, toads, salamanders and the lakes stocked with trout. LSP is a very popular park, due to the spectacular scenic overlooks of the Genesee River Gorge and its three breathtaking waterfalls.
The hikes are on remote trails and the topography is mostly rolling hills. The elevations are around 1300 to 2250. You'll know you're hiking during the fall season, when you observe the vibrant colors, due to the varied assortment of forest trees and brush. You will be shuttled to and from the trailheads and stay in two rustic cabins within Allegany State Park (a step above tent camping). Depending on enrollment, there will be four to five participants per cabin and occupancy will be CO-ED.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

More and more software applications that your organisation uses are delivered to end users via a web browser. These 'web applications' may vary from internally developed software to off the shelf packages, from accounting systems to web shops, and from having restricted local network access to being widely available over the internet.
Dionach discover serious issues such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting in the majority of web applications that we perform penetration tests on. This is why ongoing and regular web application pen testing is such a vital part of your defences.
Dionach will test your web sites, extranets and intranets for application layer vulnerabilities. Your applications (both those developed by you and those bought in) will be tested for:
in an attempt to gain access to sensitive data or to the network.
Dionach uses the OWASP top ten as a base for common security issues and develops test cases to build attack vectors specific to the type of website application. We are also constantly updating our security database with new threats and attempts to gain access to sensitive data.
If the web application requires login credentials then a test can be carried out first without credentials and then with credentials for users with different roles. The test can be done blind, without access to the source code, as an attacker would do (black box penetration test), or with more information about the architecture or source code (white box penetration test).
The output of a Dionach Web Application Penetration Test is a report with a non-technical overview of the impacts and likelihood of the most serious security issues, coupled with technical details of the tests undertaken, more comprehensive descriptions of the individual issues, and recommendations for resolution.
We prefer to deliver this Web Application Security Vulnerability Assessment report face to face to enable discussion and full comprehension of the risks identified. We also make our testers available for further meetings and discussions with those who are tasked with fixing any issues. Finally, we recommend a retest to ensure that fixes have been successfully applied.

Monterey International Pop Festival, Part-4/9
Otro de los grupos interesantes que actuó en el festival fue Moby Grape, una gran banda relegada casi al olvido pues sólo llegaron a editar dos discos, el segundo de ellos bastante mediocre, si bien el primero podría pasar por ser uno de los mejores esfuerzos en aunar Folk y Pop, tras la brillante carrera de los Byrds de Roger McGuinn. Completan el disco las actuaciones de Laura Nyro y Hugh Masakela.

The Scotland Yard Gospell Choir: And the horse you rode in on (2009), Bloodshot Records
Disco de variados registros, desde el más intimista hasta el más popero y costumbrista o al descaradamente divertido, en el que seguro que podrás encontrar algún tema que te guste si eres buen aficinado al Pop.
Por cierto, a finales de septiembre la banda sufrió un desgraciado accidente de furgoneta en el que la mayoría de sus miembros salieron con heridas de cierta gravedad. Sabido es cómo funciona el sistema sanitario y los seguros médicos en Estados Unidos, por lo que el grupo está seriamente necesitado de ayuda económica para poder sufragar los gastos médicos y materiales. El día 30 tiene lugar en su Chicago natal un concierto de ayuda, y también puedes colaborar con un Paypal leyendo aquí.
"Chicago-based chamber pop collective The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir aren't your typical debauched rock stars reveling in a pastiche of self-destructive clichés. Leading a band that's shared the stage with both the Arcade Fire and Ira Glass, Spoon and Dave Eggers, it's clear that lead singer, guitarist, and keyboard player Elia and his scrappy group are comfortable straddling the divide between the debased rock 'n' roll world and the high-minded literati. As it turns out, both shoes fit. Not content with merely performing with some of the most notable names in independent music, the band has explored their connections with the literary and theatrical worlds, performing with Eggers, DeRogatis, This American Life's Glass, author Joe Meno, and Saturday Night Live regular Fred Armisen.
With Welsh-born Elia as the ringleader, The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir is a free-spirited collective of musical visionaries who turn out exuberant and rough-hewn chamber pop. Among the talent that performs and/or records with the Choir includes core players like bassist and recording engineer Mark Yoshizumi, guitarist and vocalist Mary Ralph, drummer Jay Santana, violin player Ethan Adelsman, keyboardist Alison Hinderliter (Le Concorde), and a brass section made up of Sam Johnson (Mucca Pazza, Hawk & a Hacksaw) and Matt Priest (Canasta). The extended Scotland Yard family is comprised of a who's-who of the Chicago underground music community, boasting the likes of cellist / vocalist Ellen O'Hayer (Bright Eyes); Sally Timms, Nora O'Connor and Kelly Hogan, who sing backup on the self-titled album; and Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley), and Brett Whitacre (Th' Legendary Shack Shakers).
In a few short years, The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir has become one of the Chicago indie music scene's best-kept secrets, with Chicago Sun-Times critic Jim DeRogatis opining upon "Jennie That Cries," the single from the band's debut i bet you say that to all the boys, "[is] a beautiful, lulling single, with special emphasis on the gorgeous vocals." The band's music has served as a backdrop to many television shows, including The OC, What About Brian and the movie Special, and their self-released debut received attention from Time Out NY, Billboard, and Popmatters" (bloodshotrecords.com)

Jesu: Opiate sun (Ep, 2009), Caldo Verde
"With bands like the Angelic Process, Alcest, and now Phil Elverum (aka Mount Eerie), a whole new world has opened up for heavy music, large in part because of Jesu mastermind Justin Broadrick's tireless effort to not settle for the conventional sounds of metal. The effort has become to make this loud, abrasive music become melodic and sentimental—something Jesu's latest track, "Deflated" is somewhat the pinnacle of. Its drop-tuned doom riffage is buried into a swarm of melodic guitar melodies and quite possibly one of the best vocal performances of Broadrick's career. The track builds beautifully behind slightly atonal sustained chords into a stoner shoegaze haze while Broadrick chants, "You give me reason." How's that for hardcore.
Oddly enough, it somehow makes sense that Opiate Sun, the EP on which this track is contained, will be released on Caldo Verde Records, Red House Painters/Sun Kil Moon songsmith Mark Kozelek's imprint. Hands down, this is the heaviest thing Kozelek has ever released (and he is doing so after being duly impressed by a Jesu show in 2007), but he is no stranger to spastic guitar passages –- something he experimented with earlier in his career. Opiate Sun is due out October 27th, and info on what formats it will be released on is TBD" (popmatters.com)
"Broadrick also announced that a new EP, titled Opiate Sun, would be released in July, 2009. The EP had originally been mentioned in 2008 but a title and official release date had yet to be announced. This four song EP will be the first studio recording to include the lineup of Justin Broadrick, Dave Cochrane and Phil Petrocelli. This lineup is featured on two of the four tracks, with the classic lineup of Broadrick, Parsons and Dalton performing the other two tracks. Opiate Sun has since been rescheduled for October 27, 2009, and will be released on Mark Kozelek's record label Caldo Verde. The Daymare edition of the album will be released on November 6, 2009 in Japan and will include a "demo" version of one of the four songs as a bonus track" (wikipedia.org)

The Big Pink: A brief history of love (2009)
"Not everyone was interested in following OK Computer's example of using electronic music for texture so much as another avenue towards anthems, and tracks such as "Bittersweet Symphony", "Pure Morning", "All You Good Good People", and, yes, "D'You Know What I Mean" proved a natural fit between massive, if rudimentary hip-hop beats and what might otherwise be flag-waving, stadium-filling radio smashes. And so then, the lineage continues with the Big Pink's mighty "Dominos"– it's such an undeniable, simple hook, and such an undeniably locomotive but lumbering beat that it steamrolls any doubt you have about the rest of it being underwritten or misogynistic.
But more promising is how in spite of the IMAX-ready sonic presence of previously released singles like "Dominos" and "Crystal Visions", History rarely feels something other than hand-crafted. Furze and Cordell produced the album themselves, with engineering done by Rich Costey who, judging from the latest Mew and Glasvegas records, knows his way around huge. A Brief History stills sounds surprisingly nuanced in headphones– you can enjoy how the group fits an entire album's worth of power chords into a swath of synthesizers that honor their 4AD legacy on "Dominos", but from the anticipatory shaker that leads into the hook or the feedback-scratched bridge, repeat listens are rewarded long after they've been demanded. "Too Young to Love" hurtles by on momentum more than melody, its raga drone breaking up into shards of scree like a comet through the atmosphere. But almost as hypnotic is the passionate vocal performance on "Velvet", which reveals a similar endlessly upward arc to "Fake Plastic Trees", right down to the distorted blow-out midway through.
Though History never fails to sound elegantly wasted at any tempo, its majority goes in buffet-style on the last two decades of UK's beat-minded rock, united by Furze's Jason Pierce-ing sneer. "At War With the Sun" nicks Stone Roses' jangle with nastier distortion pedals, while "Frisk" is halfway between Damon Albarn's early forays into funk and the more silken prog of Mansun's Attack of the Grey Lantern. Two years ago, you might've caught Cordell releasing early singles from Crystal Castles and Klaxons on his Merok label, so it's not a surprise that learning on the job resulted in nu-rave wondering how it missed out on shrieking dumb fun like "Golden Pendulum" and "Tonight".
Despite all the cavalcade of classics that A Brief History of Love conjures, my favorite comparison for these guys is actually another youthful, romantically minded British act: The xx. By "comparison," I don't mean "sounds like"– the two bands seem like they're operating while diametrically opposed. Some might find the Big Pink churlish or even anti-romantic (though I'd argue they hardly spend enough time acknowledging women enough to really comment on them) compared to the restrained and unusually mature xx, who hew more comfortable notions of gender relations. "Love in Vain" tries a little tenderness, but "if you really love him, tell me that you love him again," hints at vulnerability before "then go" turns the sentiment as cavernous as the reverb surrounding it. But while sometimes you fall for the art of seduction, there's the part of us that want to be overwhelmed– A Brief History of Love is a study in the enormity of sound doing just that, each reverbed kick drum, phasers-on-stun guitar, and wastrel vocal refuting the idea that you need to talk about the passion to express it" (pitchfork.com)

Monterey International Pop Festival, Part-3/9
"Also notable was the festival's innovative sound system, designed and built by audio engineer Abe Jacob, who started his career doing live sound for San Francisco bands, and went on to become a leading sound designer for the American theatre. Jacob's groundbreaking Monterey sound system was the progenitor of all the large-scale PA's that followed. It was a key factor in the festival's success and it was greatly appreciated by the artists — in the Monterey film, David Crosby can clearly be seen saying "Great sound system!" to band-mate Chris Hillman at the start of The Byrds' performance"
Igualmente como curiosidad os diremos que en el festival se dieron a conocer los primeros sintetizadores analógicos, que partieron de los primitivos Theremin desarrollados por el ingeniero electrónico y físico Robert Moog, de ahí que ése fuera el nombre que recibieran esos primeros artilugios electrónicos, usados en seguida por gentes como Roger McGuinn en The Byrds, The Doors o The Rolling Stones.
"Electronic music pioneers Paul Beaver and Bernie Krause set up a booth at Monterey to demonstrate the new electronic music synthesizer developed by Robert Moog.[9] Beaver and Krause had bought one of Moog's first synthesizers in 1966 and had spent a fruitless year trying to get someone in Hollywood interested in using it. Through their demonstration booth at Monterey, they gained the interest of acts including The Doors, The Byrds, The Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel and others. This quickly built into a steady stream of business and the eccentric Beaver was soon one of the busiest session men in L.A., and he and Krause earned a contract with Warner Brothers"

Times New Viking / Yo la Tengo: Nothing to hide (2009), Matador
Times New Viking: Born again revisited (2009), Matador
"A pox on those who claim the venerable VHS format is dead ; in fact, Times New Viking delivered the master recordings to their forthcoming LP/CD/digital album 'Born Again Revisited' (OLE 860) on a Video Home System cassette. Addressing the mountain of constructive criticism they've received from self-styled musicologists wanna-be producers and persons with my initials, the Columbus based trio promise their 2nd Matador album (and 4th overall) features "25% higher fidelity", a percentage our own engineering staff has confirmed after hourse of exhaustive laboratory tests.
Much has been made in the press of late of Cheap Trick's attempts to steal Adam, Beth and Jared's thunder by releasing their upteenth comeback album on 8-track, but with all due respect to the state fair fixtures Rockford's finest, it's been a generation since they've come up with anything as provocative as 'Born Again Revisited''s "Move To California" or "No Time No Hope" (mp3). While Times New Viking continue to make-it-look-easy, I can assure you it's anything but that. A cursory glance at the American rock underground reveals a landscape littered with well-intentioned but vastly inferior bands who've caught the lo-fi bug ; Times New Viking are well advised to disavow responsibility for the epidemic, but whoever the guilty party is, the ferocity of TNV's shows and their sheer quality of their songwriting should be enough to win them a presidential pardon, not unlike the one 'Born Again' author Chuck Colson never quite received" (Nota de prensa de Matador Records)
Helen Love: Calm down Dad (Single, 2009), Elephant
"¡Estamos de suerte, HELEN LOVE están de vuelta!, nuestro grupo favorito de Bubblegum-disco-punk están en su mejor momento y tienen una espléndida colección de canciones nuevas que van a enloquecer a medio planeta. "Calm down dad" es el single de adelanto de su flamante nuevo álbum, "Stick it", que vera la luz muy pronto en Elefant Records. Mientras llega ese momento, y para apaciguar la dura espera, aquí tenemos este aperitivo con tres grandes canciones. "Calm down Dad" es pura energía, indie-punk-pop pegajoso que relata las diferencias entre un padre y su hija. Ella quiere divertirse, salir de noche, acostarse con un chico, vestirse como un vampiro sin que la miren raro en casa, viajar por todo el mundo, probar cosas nuevas e incluso llegar a cantar como Kate Nash, pero con acento barrio bajero. Como una mezcla a partes iguales entre Jilted John y THE WAITRESSES, en este single, limitado y en vinilo de color naranja, HELEN LOVE saltan del punk al pop y del pop al indie con unas letras realistas, sarcásticas y muy divertidas. Dulces melodías como un caramelo de naranja y al mismo tiempo acidas como la vida misma.
El single se completa en la cara B con dos píldoras hiperaceleradas de puro punk-pop. "John Peel Roadshow" habla de como reunir el suficiente valor para entregar una maqueta a un locutor de radio. HELEN LOVE, queridos y apoyados durante años por John Peel, grabaron una "Peel session" en 1997, lo que significo para ellos uno de los momentos culminantes en la historia del grupo, lo mismo que una tarde de verano en la que John Peel, después de pinchar "Does your heart go boom" dijo como una risita áspera "That's HELEN LOVE… the sarcastic bastards"'. "Candeelips", cierra este single de adelanto con una acaramelada historia sobre el chico con los labios más dulces y deseados del barrio!!!" (Nota de prensa de Elephant Records)
The Raveonettes: In and Out of Control (2009), Vice
Disco, en definitiva, que según he leído por algún lado, es un intento -loable- del dúo por acercarse al lado más hedonista del Pop, abandonando algo su pose algo más seria, incluido en el aspecto de las letras. Ésto está bien, pero personalmente encuentro que lo que realmente ha bajado el dúo, quién sabe si intencionadamente, ha sido su intensidad sonora: la distorsión es mucho más apagada, muchas guitarras están en un plano más secundario; las cajas de ritmos empleadas no aportan el matiz sonoro característico del dúo. Intensidad que por ejemplo, sí encontramos en otro grupo con componente femenino en sus filas: Gliss. Bien harían Sune Rose y Sharin Foo en volver a la senda perdida.
"On a superficial level The Raveonettes' bittersweet allure has been obtained by filtering surf guitar motifs and doo-wop standard-bearers like the Ronettes through whatever electrical machination it was that gave The Jesus and Mary Chain their brittle searing edge. Which may sound like a simplistic idea on the face of it, but these two poles have provided the Danish duo of Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo with four albums of distinctive, sometimes dark, frequently beautiful vignettes.
And though they've been hugely accessible and often great (their previous album, Lust Lust Lust, was outstanding and certainly worthy of consideration as one of 2007's best), In and Out of Control is the most immediate material The Raveonettes have released to date. The vast wash of reverb and static that typifies their sound is still there to a greater or lesser extent – particularly on 'Break Up Girls', which is the sole track that makes real concession to the side of their character that luxuriates in offensive noise – but in the main this veil has been drawn back somewhat, forcing the melodies and bones of the songs to the fore; they feel cleaner, happier, and carry less baggage to get in the way of the obvious pop sensibilities.
It is a quite subtle but very real change in focus. In tracks like 'Bang!', 'Suicide', 'D.R.U.G.S.' and 'Gone Forever' big choruses dominate and though dark and dangerous lyrical themes abound, the delivery of them is sweet, almost removed – even on the saccharine 'Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed)'. Similarly, 'Last Dance' sounds like a suicide at a prom, which is conveniently what it is about, on the face of it; that, or the last in a long line of overdoses, at least, which amounts to the same thing.
These regular grabs for attention stick a little – there's a slight impression that some of the themes have been skipped across like a flat stone dancing across a deep lake, purely for effect: Drugs? Check. Suicide? Check. Rape?…but it's to the Raveonettes credit that the superficiality and dark hunour with which these subjects are broached is ultimately liberating. Indeed, it's not this that causes lingering doubts so much as The Raveonettes continued dependence on a one-trick formula. They can be either more overtly poppy, or more overtly noisy but those are the long-established and hard-set parameters and as a result a stationary if well-studied repetoire of songs is ultimately mined.
That not to say that you'd have them change; they were around before a host of bands trading on similar stock, and had a fair old dose of Shoey' in them from the start. Besides, The Raveonettes won't change. This is their thing, their schtick. And for the most part, bending phil Spector out of shape and dragging him by his hair through a raft of distortional devices and all the while kicking the hell out of the 'Leader of the Pack' is a very good thing" (drownedinsound.com)
Monterey International Pop Festival, Part-2/9
"Almost every aspect of The Monterey International Pop Festival was a first: although the audience was predominantly white, Monterey's bill was truly multi-cultural and crossed all musical boundaries, mixing folk, blues, jazz, soul, R&B, rock, psychedelia, pop and classical genres, boasting a line-up that put established stars like The Mamas and the Papas, Simon & Garfunkel and The Byrds alongside groundbreaking new acts from the UK, the USA, South Africa and India.
…Monterey Pop was a seminal event: it was the first real rock festival ever held, featuring debut performances of bands that would shape the history of rock and affect popular culture from that day forward. The County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California… had been home to folk, jazz and blues festivals for many years. But the weekend of June 16 – 18, 1967 was the first time it was used to showcase rock music"
Igualmente sirvió como rampa de lanzamiento para numerosos músicos o bandas que no eran del todo conocidas en los Estados Unidos, incluido Jimi Hendrix, quien recordemos que inició su corta pero intensa carrera musical en el Reino Unido, donde a mediados de los sesenta se produjo un verdadero resurgir del Rythmn and Blues.
"The festival launched the careers of many who played there, making some of them into stars virtually overnight. The Who and Jimi Hendrix had each already been sensations in the UK and Europe but were practically unknown in the USA. Other artists who rose to popularity following their appearances at Monterey included Janis Joplin, Laura Nyro, Canned Heat, Otis Redding, Steve Miller and Indian sitar maestro Ravi Shankar."
En este segundo disco podrás disfrutar de las actuaciones de Canned Heat, banda pionera en mezclar Country y Blues Rural; Janis Joplin, formando aún parte de la Big Brother and the Holding Company; Country Joe and The Fish y Al Kooper.
"Monterey Pop was also one of the earliest major public performances for Janis Joplin, who appeared as a member of Big Brother and The Holding Company. Joplin was seen swigging from a bottle of Southern Comfort as she gave a provocative rendition of the song "Ball 'n' Chain". Columbia Records signed Big Brother and The Holding Company on the basis of their performance at Monterey.[5] "I became a supporter of feminism watching Janis Joplin at the Monterey Festival", says John McCleary, author of The Hippie Dictionary. "A lot of people had similar experiences watching female role models with that kind of power, unafraid to express themselves sexually while demanding their rights" (wikipedia.org)

Memory Tapes: Seek Magic (2009), Acephale, Sincerely Yours
"More than a few of these singles came from Philadelphia's Dayve Hawk in the guise of either Memory Cassette, Weird Tapes, or Memory Tapes. To this point, he'd served as something of a microcosm for this sound, which has created intriguingly hazy, wistful but beat-informed one-offs and EPs, but nothing weighty enough to get it past "something we did that one summer," as if it were a road trip or ill-fated romance recalled years later. That was before Seek Magic, a record of achingly gorgeous dance-pop that captures both the joy of nostalgia and the melancholic sense that we're grasping for good times increasingly out of reach.
Initially, Seek Magic's power derives from an intensely personalized ability to unlock hidden chambers in our memory banks. The half-submerged guitars that introduce "Swimming Field" suggest this is as a soundtrack for a restless evening, but between its F-G chord progression and aqueous thumb-piano and panflute synths, I'm reminded of scorching July days vibing out to Wilco's A Ghost Is Born. Instrumental breaks "Pink Stones" and "Run Out" recall the unconventional beauty of Apehx Twin's Richard D. James Album. "Green Knight" smacks of Police's "Wrapped Around Your Finger" in its verse and any number of mid-80s light funk with its guitar licks, the sneaker squeak in the instrumental break is one of the most evocative found sounds I've heard in a while.
Seek Magic is something of an inhabitable universe that proves there's far more to Hawk's sound than a way with reverb and passing familiarity with dance loops. The rubber-smacks-road beat of "Bicycle" would be content to mirror its titular vehicle, but nearly every minute packs some sort of detailed compositional surprise: the widescreen breakthrough where Hawk's androgynous vocals shake lo-fi two minutes in, the bass breakdown that soon rights itself into the second half's backbone, and the choral coda that lays a euphoric vocal sigh over wave-running New Order guitars. By comparison, "Plain Material" is streamlined, but not by much– the way Hawk's voice hits the fuzzed-out guitar chords, you might think this was an unearthed Flaming Lips track, and at first, it sounds like the first time on Seek Magic that he'll adhere to a standard verse-chorus structure. It does, but only after a drum beat cribbed straight from Organized Noize turns in a bridge of teen screams imported from In Ghost Colours' nastier breakdowns.
And yet in Seek Magic's centerpieces, you sense a nocturnal unease usually attributed to more spare albums. "Stop Talking" could've been content to ride out its gummy bass riff to infinity, but it morphs through so many phases in its seven minutes that the half-time post-rock finale doesn't feel tacked-on. On the following song, "Graphics", Hawk offers an unnervingly lonely sentiment– "I don't even recognize the sound of your voice, the feel of your touch, you could be alone even though I'm here by your side." Lyrics are mere suggestions through most of Seek Magic, but Hawk lays out an "I can't go on, I'll go on" vibe throughout. One second, he sighs "this is the last time" and immediately thereafter, "one more time, baby, one more time." It's a sentiment that's underpinned great works of art from Daft Punk ("One More Time" natch), F. Scott Fitzgerald (This Side of Paradise), Kanye West ("Why can't life always be this easy?"), and um, Old Milwaukee– the times where you think "it doesn't get any better than this," and it's simultaneously the happiest and saddest thing you can say" (Pitchfork.com)

The Twees: Lessons to connect (Ep, 2009)
"Turn Up The Sound favorites, The Twees, recently released their new EP…and it's fantastic! Their EP entitled 'Lessons To Connect', mixes pop and indie rock reminding you of a mixture of The Strokes and Franz Ferdinand, 'Full Circle' showcases this comparison the most out of all the songs. Head bopping beats and catchy lyrics make 'Lessons To Connect' one of the years best releases, it's a shame more people have yet to have discovered The Twees. 'Full Circle', 'Different Pages', 'Start Again' and 'Lessons to Connect' are the songs that make up the EP, each one stands out in their own unique way. The Twees have it down to a science, they have written songs worth listening to, songs that are sure to catch your attention. We're telling you, The Twees are going places, it's best you join them." (turnupthesound.ning.com)
"With a name like "The Twees" there's no getting around these NYC youngsters being the go-getting indie/pop/post-punk. But that's too easy and there is something really worthwhile about these dudes, their chirpy guitars recall something of Fool's Gold (afro-beat) variety.However, the Jason Abrishami's vocals dial notions of a young Lou Reed, with more emotive qualities.
There are moments verging on "Lo-Fi" in their older tracks, and some more punchy math type guitars, always accompanied by Logan Sorrentino consistent drums. The highlights are when they loosen up by vocal distortion through emphasis (refer to I'm Not Saying). The new EP signifies a serious turn for these gentlemen, they are making music for the pop-kids of now. Above all of these is that The Twees are young dudes, who still have things to prove, which will be no major feat for them, listen to them while you lick the salt before the tequila." (livinginatree.com)
The Crack Babies: Smoking at Gas Stations (2009), Odd Box Records
"It's 1985 in the Crack Babies world. Specifically 1985 with a copy of the Jesus and Mary Chain's "Psychocandy" in hand. "Shine" kicks off and you are automatically absorbed by the lo-fi, feedback driven scorching sound. There is no greater homeage to the Reid brothers vision of pop music than this." – SoundsXP
"Here is a seventeen-minute EP covering seven tracks delivered with jackhammer-like decorum. Yet, as usual, persistence pays and a careful listen beyond the surface throws up a few melodic delights like the first song 'Shine' – melodically a dead ringer for New Order's 'Ceremony' with layers of feedback added. Other songs are reminiscent of Motown anthems unceremoniously mugged by a gang of ne'er-do-wells. All told, it's primitive, raw yet fertile stuff." – Leonards Lair
"Back in 2005 Lostmusic Recordings released this seven song EP titled Smoking at Gas Stations from the one man band project The Crack Babies based out of Sweden. During its initial run of very limited copies it sold out and was then offered as a free download, which amassed quite a few of those. However with the aforementioned label now gone and nowhere to download, Odd Box Records has risen to the demand after persistent requests to do another limited run of the album on CD for anyone that missed out the first time. If you're a big fan of 80's noise-pop, lo-fi, or just JAMC worship in general then by all means don't miss out on it again.
The Crack Babies are very much what you think they are, incredibly blown out shoegazy noise. However, on this EP the decibels are driven even further upward landing them in the same area as fellow past limit pushers Skywave. Whether the aesthetics of the record were intentional or not (it was recorded with an extremely low budget), the results greatly work to its advantage. At times the vocals hit a high blown out yet muffled pitch that often reminds me of Scott Cortez's work under the Astrobrite moniker. Anyway, check out the tune below" (builtonaweakspot.com)

Monterey International Pop Festival, Part-1/9
El promotor Lou Adler dijo al respecto:
"…Our idea for Monterey was to provide the best of everything — sound equipment, sleeping and eating accommodations, transportation — services that had never been provided for the artist before Monterey…
We set up an on-site first aid clinic, because we knew there would be a need for medical supervision and that we would encounter drug-related problems. We didn't want people who got themselves into trouble and needed medical attention to go untreated. Nor did we want their problems to ruin or in any way disturb other people or disrupt the music…
Our security worked with the Monterey police. The local law enforcement authorities never expected to like the people they came in contact with as much as they did. They never expected the spirit of 'Music, Love and Flowers' to take over to the point where they'd allow themselves to be festooned with flowers" (wikipedia.org)

The Voices: Death of a lover´s song (2009), Phase One Recordings
"Whilst all has seemed eerily quiet and calm on The Voices front, a series of one off incendiary shows and long studio sessions has finally helped mould and complete the third album in the bands career. However with 10 tracks completed and demoed The Voices scrapped this material in order to alienate themselves from their previous efforts. Without undoing the steps they have taken to help become a modern shoegaze band (The Voices are deeply proud of these roots) the trio decided to rework and reproduce their most intriguing album so far, and the first collaboration between the band and Phase One recordings. The album has been produced and engineered by The Voices with CS Munday in control. The band have finally let the listener take a few steps towards their hearts and minds, all be it on their own terms – vocals and lyrics becoming far more prominent, rhythms and drums taking a lead through the bands epic storm of feedback, noise and destruction. Death of a Lover's song is The Voices producing pop songs -an album to be listened to from start to finish. With no time to catch a breath, every song leads on from the last and contains its place in what will surely become a modern day classic to turn to in your moments of need" (tonevendor.com)

R-Shark (Arcade) review
"In R-Shark the background scrolls to the right but the bullet remains on screen, keeping the same trajectory. The results are utterly bizarre. Weaving through waves and flurries of enemy fire, enemy ammunitions fly yet flutter like pitched knuckleballs, the swaying background tricking the eye into thinking their trajectory is shifting with your craft. But its not. Your craft shifts the background, but isnt shifting with the background. And the bullets arent shifting at all. "

Cold Room LED Lights
Cold room LED Lights provide the answer for high bay or low mast lighting, whether in a warehouse, a cold room, or anywhere large area lighting is needed. These high quality lights offer maximum energy saving, reduce maintenance costs and help you maintain a safe work environment.
Reduce lighting bills by up to 70% - LED's only need a fraction of the energy to produce the same amount of light as conventional lighting. LED's can save a considerable amount of money, and since they last for so long, the savings will only keep adding up each year.
Reduce maintenance costs - You won't have to worry about replacing lamps for a very long time because LED fixtures have a lifespan of up to 20 years and are more resistant to vibrations and shocks, which makes them more durable and difficult to break.
Get a fast return of investment - The savings that you'll make from your electricity bill will quickly cover the initial investment with 2 years being the average pay back period, and after you'll continue saving every year.
Increasing energy rates - Electricity prices have risen considerably in the past few years but experts predict that they could rise even more dramatically in the future due to the increasing demand and low resources.
Industrial LED Light FACTS:
• Energy saving LED light
• Lifetime: 5.000 hours

Welcome to Following the Whispers blog
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. Hope you enjoy your stay. I blog here whenever I feel the need. This blog was created at the time my memoir came out, in February, 2009. Its motto was: creating a life of inner peace and self-acceptance from the depths of despair. Now, my focus is sharing this journey we call life.

Thank God for free thinkers, who see something that has never been done before as a reason to do something. While Jim Ewen was on holiday in the Dominican Republic, he was refused access to three rum distilleries. He just wanted a look around as a tourist, and he joked with his Brother-in-law that it would be 'easier to build a damn distillery'. That night he couldn't get a good night's sleep, and the rest of his holiday was ruined by the thought that he should build Scotland's first rum distillery. When he returned home, he convinced his brother John to set up the business with him, and now Scottish-distilled rum exists.
As our spirits buyer Arthur and Pitlochry manager Otto drove up to a small, pine-covered corner of Banchory, their expectations were that they would admire the pluckiness of someone's crazy vision, would have to wish them luck without seeming patronising, but at the same time not raise their hopes too much. They left talking about how quickly they could get the first bottles on the shelf and wondering why the hell no-one had made rum in the UK before.
Scottish Rum Is Not Such A Crazy Thing, And Here's Why
- Most rum is made from molasses, itself a bi-product of the refinement of raw sugar.
- Millions of tonnes of sugar are refined in the UK every year, so the raw material has always been there for distillers to use.
- This molasses is fermented with yeast, then distilled in either pot or column stills to make a rum spirit. This equipment is used in the production of gin, vodka and whisky all over England, Scotland and Wales, and has been here for centuries.
- Some companies, such as Bristol Spirits, even ship young Caribbean rums to Britain for maturation as they believed this 'early landed' rum aged better in our cooler climate.
- Rum is popular in Scotland, especially spiced rums. In recent years younger fans have joined the more traditional, older rum drinker.
More Local Distilled Rums Will Exist Soon, But They May Not Be As Good As Dark Matter
- Its founder Jim is driven and committed to excellence. This is not a folly project, he is serious in his aim not to just make a Scottish rum, but an excellent rum by any standards.
- He employed Cory Mason to commission the equipment and develop and distil his first liquids. Cory studied and conducted research at Heriot-Watt University International Centre for Brewing & Distilling, and is one talented, booze-obsessed dude.
- One of his specialist areas was yeast strains and their affect on flavour. Jim and Cory have discovered an isolated a local Scottish yeast, chosen for its clean, fruitiness.
- Dark Matter Rum is made using refiner's grade molasses, which is the highest purity-level possible. It's sugar content is exceptionally high (67-75%, compared to around 50% in most other molasses).
- They employ a new step of clarification of the molasses to further purify it.
- To add complex, caramelised flavours, they also add a small amount of spent ale (the left over liquid in the still after distillation) to the molasses at the beginning. This is similar to bourbon distillers, who call it 'sour mashing'.
- Their column still is unique, and commissioned to produce a rum with lots of purifying copper contact on its ten plates, but also a great amount of reflux. The flavour of the white rum showed this as we nosed and tasted it coming off the still.
- They will be making use of Pot Stills in their production soon.
- Their Column still is adaptable, so they can increase complexity and weight by adding a copper retort. This is typical in Jamaican distilleries, and its how they create those intense overripe pineapple and banana flavours. When they start making aged rum this gismo will come into play.
- These guys are innovative. They even have a botanical basket to insert into the distillation process. Yes, a botanical basket like you might find in gin production.
Their spiced rum will be their first product, and the early versions we tried were extremely promising with a gingery base and a peppercorn punch. It will be £34.95 on Drinkmonger.com, click here and put in a stock enquiry to pre order a bottle. We will then get in touch when it comes in. We will be the first to have it, when it is ready.

February and March are such teases in Ohio. Right now we seem to be having a bit of a mini-thaw and the sound of dripping water is everywhere, but I know there are more snow showers in our forecast for later this week. I'm certainly guilty of complaining about the knee-deep layer of snow that's been on the ground for the past several weeks, but I'm gaining a whole new appreciation of that fluffy white snow now that it's being replaced by slush and mud. What's worst is when you step into what looks like a drift of nice snow but turns out to be a thin layer of snow on top of a lot of slush and liquid. Instant soaking foot. Eeeeew.
When you live in the woods, one of the nice perks of having a thick coat of snow on the ground is seeing all the animal tracks. During the day the only mammals we see a lot of are the gray squirrels, but the tracks in the snow reveal what a busy place our woods are at night. I'm a novice at identifying tracks but you'd be amazed what you can learn from a little Googling.
Note the five toes. These were definitely too big for a squirrel, and I know raccoon prints are more hand-like – wouldn't they have longer "fingers," and a distinct "thumb"? After comparing with some picture online, my guess is skunk. But who knows.
These are a little easier.
Five toes in front, four in back: teh internetz inform me that this is a trait of mice and squirrels. And since the track ends abruptly at the base of a tree trunk, I think it's a safe bet that these are indeed from my old buddy the gray squirrel.
Too bad none of the tracks in my woods are quite as interesting as these…

Historica Canada releases first animated Heritage Minute showcasing Kensington Market
Historica Canada known for it's Heritage Minute series which highlight Canadian culture and history has released it's very first animated piece. As the 88th video in the series, the multicultural evolution of Kensington Market in Toronto is shown through the passing of time of a single store through the decades. The newest Heritage Minute begins with a kosher poultry shop called Goldlist in the 1940s and weaves all the different cultures of the market through the depiction of the store changing into different shops until it reaches the present day.
Goldlist's poultry shop was owned by Chaskel Goldlist, a Holocaust survivor that immigrated to Canada in 1948. His grandson and filmmaker, Michael Goldlist wrote the script for this Heritage Minute. Tom Mihalik, the owner of Tom's Place of which Goldlist used to stand, narrated the piece. Mihalik's family immigrated to Toronto in 1958 after the Hungarian revolution and his father opened up a clothing store beside Goldlist and grew to remain a fixture in Kensington Market until this day.
"This one minute that you will see will reflect that we are all different and we come from different backgrounds, yet we're all able to live together," said Mihalik.

DJ Toomp: "I was in Tip mode at that point. Matter-of-fact, that on a Thursday or a Friday, during the summer, I can't remember the exact year.
"T.I. and the rest of P$C use to come to by my house to get haircuts by me. I use to cut everybody's hair. I had about twelve customers a week and had no license, just the skills. One day when they all came through for a cut, it was on a Thursday or Friday during the summer. I can't remember the exact year.
"That particular morning, around 9 o'clock, I was working on the track that became '24s.' And I was just letting the track play all day, the same track over and over. I would normally cut hair in the front room of the house and I use to have the music turned down low.
"A lot of times when you make a track and you know it's that 'one' you'll let it play for a while. Sometimes you'll walk around the house, go get something to eat, come back and see how it sounds when you come back into the room, just to see if you hear something different that you need to add or take out.
"After letting the track just play all morning, around 3 o'clock, T.I. and the crew came to get their haircut. I remember Tip was sitting in the chair and the beat was playing in another room. At one point while I was cutting his hair he was like, 'Man, what's that back there, who that for?' And I was like, 'Man, don't ask who it's for. If you like it, it's for you.'
"And I would say within the first twenty minutes of me getting into the fade, like I had literally just made the line around his head, he kind of started bobbing his head and I was like, 'Dude, you gonna have to sit still.' And he was like, 'Put that [beat] on CD for me, I got something for that.'
"I guess he was digging the way I had put the strings together, it was like a little orchestra track. By the time I gave him the CD of the track, within a day's time he had the hook for it already, and next thing you know, it was done."

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court wrestled with the issue of what does an employer need know about a job applicant or employee that would make them liable for a violation of the Civil Rights Act, where the employer lacked actual knowledge of the individuals religious practice.
The case involved a job applicant who wore a headscarf to her job interview. She was not hired because the clothing store does not allow employees to wear anything on their heads. She claimed she was denied the job due to her religious beliefs, while the company claims it should not have to examine potential job applicants for their religious beliefs.
The attorneys arguing the case appeared at times during the oral argument to confuse the justices with distinctions between "knowing" and "correctly understanding" something.
While the attorney arguing for the EEOC noted that when an employer suspected religious practices could be at issue, he suggested somewhat cumbersomely, that it could "start a dialogue," surprisingly, one of the justices suggested a simpler test.
Justice Alito offered that when interviewing a candidate with a beard, the employer should indicate that they have a policy against beards and ask the candidate if they had "a problem with that."
Such a rule could be workable, as it would allow employers to highlight a "Look" or mandatory weekend policy, and this would place the employee on notice that they should ask if religious accommodations would be possible for time off or deviations from the dress code.
While these can be complex questions, sometimes even the Supreme Court can come up with a simple solution. Although, it remains to be seen if such a simple rule actually becomes the basis of the final opinion from the Court.

Rotavirus Infections in Dogs
The double-stranded, wheel-shaped rotavirus causes inflammation of the intestines and in severe cases, dysfunction in the intestinal walls. It is the leading cause of diarrhea and gastrointestinal upset in dogs. And although it can be seen in dogs at any age, puppies are more prone to rotavirus infections, especially those less than 12 weeks old.
Cats are also susceptible to rotavirus infections. If you would like to learn more about how this disease affects cats, please visit this page in the PetMD health library.
Symptoms and Types
The primary symptom of a rotavirus infection is mild to moderate watery diarrhea. In severe cases, dogs may die from dehydration, extreme weight loss, and/or an unwillingness to eat. Dogs may also exhibit fatigue or lethargy.
The rotavirus is typically transmitted through contact with contaminated fecal matter. Dogs with underdeveloped or weak immune systems and those living in overly stressed environments are most at risk for the infection.
In dogs, your doctor will likely try to rule out other conditions before diagnosing rotavirus. Some causes for inflammation of the intestine may include parvovirus (a rash disease), coronavirus (a virus affecting the intestines), astrovirus (causes diarrhea), herpesvirus, distemper virus, and canine reovirus (also called kennel cough).
Lab tests to detect the virus may include laboratory examination of tissue samples, or microscopic exploration of feces. One such test is ELISA (or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), a biochemical technique. Your veterinarian may also be able to identify the virus using a technique called virus isolation.
To formally diagnose rotavirus, a veterinarian will examine the intestinal villi (the small hairs lining the intestine) and other cells within the intestinal wall, using special instruments to detect the rotavirus and antibodies the virus may have produced.

Wednesday 16 May 2018
Brentford FC Futsal Club took to the court on Sunday against Escolla Futsal Club's Development Squad for a place in the FA Futsal Cup quarter-final at stake.
With a noisy crowd in place at Wycombe Leisure Centre, the Bees were at full strength with 2 players, Mark Simmons and Luke Brooks-Smith, coming through late fitness tests.
Escolla Development, whose First Team, are top of The FA Futsal Super League and who themselves are FA Futsal Division 2 Midlands champions, have a high pedigree, so it was always going to be a tough challenge.
It was Brentford, made up of West London College students and Brentford FC Futsal players, who created 2 great chances in the opening exchanges with former England Futsal international, Mark Simmons coming closest when his shot beat keeper Jack Walsh only to be denied by the post.
Another chance for Brentford went begging and Shay Khan gave Escolla the lead after 3 minutes on a counter-attack. 2 goals in as many minutes from Bruno Faria, saw Head Coach, Luis Melville call a time-out, after 7 minutes to stop the game running away from the Futsal Bees.
It had the desired effect with Frankie Finn, scoring with an excellent finish from 8 metres out to make it 3-1 with 9 minutes played.
Escolla regained their 3-goal lead when Vinicius Sampaio scored with a shot that beat Bees keeper, Bahaa Jahlki on his far post. With 3 minutes to the interval, Faria completed his hattrick but Mason Roseboom scored from close range to make it 5-2 with 2 minutes to play.
Brentford enjoyed some further good possession but were dealt a blow when another chance was missed and were punished on the counter-attack by James Dirkin to leave the score 6-2 at half time.
The second half saw a tactical change. Brentford pushed higher up the court looking to take the game to Escolla. Several missed Bees chances were countered when Shun Ishinaru was able to score from 5 metres out to make it 7-2 to the Wycombe based team. 3 minutes later, Sampaio scored his second as Escolla stretched the lead to 6.
To Brentford's credit, they kept going and it was Azhan Iqbal, who got on the score sheet with another close-range finish with Escolla now leading 8-3.
The final minutes of the game saw 2 more goals for Escolla with West London College student, Said Gutale getting a consolation goal for Brentford to make the final score, 10-4 for the home side.
Afterwards, Head Coach, Luis Melville commented:
'We had a good start with 2 good chances in the opening minutes and the width of a post denied us. In games like this, you need them to go in to change the dynamic of the game. Overall, I am proud of this team as we have had to come through a very tough regional qualifier and an equally tough 1st round tie. For us to score 4 goals and create so many chances against the FA Futsal Division 2 Midlands champions, is a testament to our squad. It's been a great experience and our club can hold their head high with their efforts. Good luck to Escolla in the next round'.
Brentford FC Futsal Club: Bahaa Jahlki, Said Gutale, Naz Abdullah, Jamie Tompkins, Mark Simmons, Luke Brooks-Smith, Mason Roseboom, Frankie Finn, Abas Ali, Azhan Iqbal.
Bees scorers: Finn, Roseboom, Iqbal, Gutale.

Mainor Ülemiste AS, the developer of Ülemiste City had its most successful year ever – the 2018 sales were 8.8 million euros, up 14% in comparison with the year before and profits 9.3 million euros, a 10% increase from last year.
Upon the initiative of Mainor AS, the Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) will open a first ever City of the Future Professorship this autumn. The developers of Ülemiste City are planning to invest almost 500,000 euros in the professorship over the next five years.
Ülemiste City's developer Mainor Ülemiste AS's subsidiary, Öpiku Majad OÜ, signed a loan agreement with SEB Bank for a loan of EUR 39.5 million.
A new system available to drivers in Ülemiste City can guide them precisely to an available parking spot. The system combines signposts, LED displays, web interface and the most advanced AI video camera image analysis tool. It is one of the largest AI powered parking systems in Europe and the whole world.
A new economic study was introduced which shows that the average monthly salary of people working for companies located in the fast-growing Ülemiste City in Tallinn rose above 2000 euros last year, making it 70% higher than the average Estonian salary.
Mainor Ülemiste AS' subsidiary Öpiku Majad OÜ conluded a credit agreement in amount of 10.7 million euros with the Estonian branch of OP Corporate Bank Plc, which refinances the existing loan from Nordea Bank and finances the construction of Lurich houses.
The International Baccalaureate Organisation granted International School of Tallinn, operating in Tallinn's Ülemiste City since last year, the status of candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme that is recognised all over the world.
The four top Estonian architect firms participating in the competition submitted their designs for renovating and extending an 1899 limestone factory building located at Sepapaja 10 in the very centre of Ülemiste City.
Mainor Ülemiste will start building the first homes in Ülemiste City already this year. The first residential building of the campus – mostly meant for experts arriving from abroad to work in Ülemiste City – is to be completed by 2020.
In just three months, 80% of the innovative booster offices for growing companies have been already reserved in Estonia's largest office building to be completed this autumn by Mainor Ülemiste. There will be no long-term binding contracts and the meeting rooms, kitchens and reception areas will be shared by several companies.
The rafters went up in a parking house in Tallinn's Ülemiste City. With room for almost one thousand cars the building will be the largest of its kind in Estonia. The house will be built inside the walls of an old factory building and the first phase is scheduled to be completed by August 2018.
Last year ended with the best ever result for Mainor Ülemiste, the company developing the Ülemiste City campus: they earned 8.6 million euros of profit.
The Estonian branch of the largest financial services group in the Nordic region Nordea Bank AB opened a new service centre in Ülemiste City today, to start offering financial and call centre services, as well as services aimed at countering money laundering.
