ESA Commends the March for Science (April 24, 2017)
As one the first scientific societies to offer its formal support to the grassroots March for Science, ESA joined dozens of scientific organizations on the Monday after the March to commend the organizers and to vow to build on the momentum created by the event, through continuing to reach out to the public and policymakers at all levels to promote sound scientific policies that advance discovery and benefit society.
ESA Re-Endorses Bipartisan SMASH Act of 2017 Legislation (April 19, 2017)
Senator Angus King (I-ME) re-introduced a mosquito management Bill entitled the Strengthening Mosquito Abatement for Safety and Health (SMASH) Act, in the 115th Congress. The Bill was introduced and supported by ESA last year as well but did not survive to become legislation. The SMASH Act of 2017 is co-sponsored by three other Senators: Richard Burr (R–NC), Bill Nelson (D–FL), and Marco Rubio (R–FL).
ESA Joins Coalition of Scientific Societies and Others to Advocate for Funding Research and R&D (April 6, 2017)
ESA joined AAAS and 284 other professional societies, universities, research organizations and industry groups in signing a letter of support that articulates the importance of investing in basic and applied research across all disciplines. The letter is directed to the U.S. Congress and urges them to complete the FY 2017 appropriations and provide robust funding for research and also urges them to consider the importance of R&D as it addresses the pending budget request for FY 2018.
Budget Blueprint FY 2018: Implications for Research, Higher Education, and Health Programs (March 16, 2017)
ESA's government advocacy firm, Lewis Burke Associates, LLC, prepared a brief overview and analysis of President Trump's initial budget, released in March 2017. In particular the report outlines the steep cuts to discretionary spending that would be required to achieve the President's proposed $54 billion increase in defense spending. While Congress is unlikely to enact this budget as drafted, the level of the proposed cuts to science funding indicate the Administration's priorities. ESA President Susan Weller issued a message to ESA members about the budget proposal on March 17: Update on President Trump's Proposed 2018 Budget Blueprint.
ESA Signs AFRI Coalition Letter Supporting Robust 2018 Farm Bill (February 21, 2017)
ESA co-signed a letter organized by the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry and the House Committee on Agriculture.

From the Book's Introduction
After years of looking for a fix, I started to realize that life isn't about fixing the fear and stress. I was never meant to find a cure. When they say, "Feel the fear and do it anyway," that's not just a motivational statement. It is a fact of what we have to do if we are going to live.
Stress and fear are a part of life. We can understand them. We can act in ways that help us to experience them less frequently or less intensely sometimes, but doing so will never be easy.
I will admit this to you: I am not entirely at peace with that. But I have come to realize that it is true, whether I like it or not.
Over the last decade I have finally started to see myself come to wisdom about fear and stress, if not relief. And the wisdom about this experience stretches into every part of life that I know.
This book is written to share with you some of that wisdom, and you may purchase the ebook at Amazon here.

Downfall of Communism
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Economic and nationalistic forces caused the downfall of communism in Russia and Germany. The rise and fall of communism is a very interesting story. Communism is an economic and political system based on the idea that private property and differences in classes should not exist and that the state should own most of the economic resources. Everyone would work for the good of the country and wealth would be equally shared among all the citizens. The most important fact to understand about the economics of communism is that communist revolutions triumphed only in heavily agricultural societies.[1]
The rise and fall of Soviet Russia is a perhaps the greatest example of the economics of communism. Communists that were allied with the Bolsheviks party in 1917 led a revolution that overthrew the Russian Government. After four years of civil war in 1922, the revolutionary state became the USSR. The initials USSR stand for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which was the country's official name. The years following the war, the Soviet Union tried to spread communism to other nations. Soviet troops obtained a lot of Eastern Europe during World War 2, including East Germany and Romania. When the war was over, the Soviets set up a Communist government in these regions.[2]
The Soviet Union's actions worried the United States and Western Europe. The West wanted to spread democracy and capitalism. These political and economical systems were in conflict with communism. The difference between communism and capitalism in the West on the economical stand is that in communism the state owns most property and in capitalism the property is privately owned. Another difference is that with communism the state plans economical development and in capitalism the consumer demand drives the economy itself. The west and east also had big political differences. In communism, not actually how communism is supposed to work, just how it always ends up working, one political party limits electoral choices and the state places many restrictions on religion and personal freedoms, while in the west multiple political parties participate in free elections and personal freedoms such as freedom of religion, are protected.[3]
All this tension between the US and the USSR caused a lot of mistrust between the two powers and eventually started the Cold War. For four decades the government of the United States waged the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Doing so brought about massive changes in the allocation of resources, with effects on many dimensions of the nation's economic performance.[4] The United States and Soviet Union tried to spread their own economical and political systems around the world for more than 40 years. The thing is, when they did this they both used diplomacy, financial aid, and armed conflict which cost money and hurt the economy. What most Americans did not realize was that the Soviet economy was not as wealthy as the United States and therefore was less able to support the big military budgets than the U.S. could afford. During this time the U.S and USSR built mass amounts of nuclear and conventional weapons. This was the blurred point of view from the Americans. The causes of the Soviets economic weakness were many. People were not working hard because Communists taught that people should not accumulate wealth so there was no motivation or reason to work hard. The goals set for the Soviet system by the government officials were not working because the officials who were making the decisions knew very little about day to day operations of the economy which led to the citizens having a shortage of food and consumer goods. People were afraid to say anything about the economy or to suggest a change for fear of the consequences.[5]
In the 1980s, the older generation of Soviet leaders was beginning to die out. A man by the name of Mikhail Gorbachev became the leader or the Communist party in 1985. He was more willing to explore different ideas to help save his country from economic ruin. Because the Soviet Union was falling apart he came up with some new policies, chiefly Glasnost and Perestroika. The first policy, Glasnost, encouraged the Soviet citizens to openly share information and ideas and to criticize the government which was previously illegal.[6] The Perestroika policy restructured the economy in a way that meant individuals could own their own businesses and the people would be able to have their own decisions. Gorbachev decided he was going to try and gradually open the political systems in a policy called democratization, which would end exclusive control by the Communist Party. A policy called "new thinking" was to reduce Soviet interfaces in the East and was to try and put an end to the arms race with the West in an attempt to focus money back on renewing the economy.
The Soviet economy was in the hole so deep that Gorbachev learned the hard way that there was no fast and easy answer to their problems. One main problem he had was the Communist party was getting angry with him saying that he was being too Western. The citizens, expecting quick results, were getting angry also because the economy was not getting any better like he had promised. The old government had left problems for Gorbachev when they had suppressed creativity and innovative thinking. This was what the Soviets needed if they were going to prevent their government from collapsing. Gorbachev had many other problems other than the economy. He was allowing Eastern Europe more independence, and minority groups took advantage of that and started to rebel in order to regain their freedom. The Soviet Union contained more than 100 ethnic groups and was one of the most diverse nations which led to groups rebelling and wanting to become completely independent from the Soviet Union. Gorbachev had failed so badly that he resigned as head of the Communist party and parliament voted to end the activities. This in turn led to the breakup of the Soviet Union all together.[7] In 1991 on Christmas day, Gorbachev officially resigned as president of the Soviet Union and the nation no longer existed.
The reforms of Gorbachev had a huge impact on Eastern Europe. Countries such as Poland, freed from the threat of the Soviets, threw off communist rule and held their own democratic elections. The economy in East Germany had similar problems as the Soviet Union. The industries were too old fashioned and the equipment was unable to produce up to date consumer goods, such as things like computers. East Germany had to trade with the west which caused a large amount of foreign debt when they could not export the amount of things that they were importing.[8]
The fall of communism in Russia and Germany had the same pattern. The reasons were economic problems. Both countries had a state controlled economy that was held under the communist rule and this could not keep up with the capitalistic economy in the West. The nations simply could not produce the quantity or quality of goods it needed for the citizens to be happy and the economy to thrive. This in turn led to the people getting very angry and a greater interest in capitalism began to emerge.[9]
The economies of Russia and East Germany were so damaged during the communist rule that problems were still around long after the Communist Party ended. With the advice of economic experts, Boris Yeltsin proposed a plan called shock therapy. On their advice Yeltsin dismantled the economy all at once by eliminating price controls, trade barriers, and government funding of industries. He also introduced the private ownership of property and free market. This was an extremely bad idea and did not go well for Russia, inflation went through the roof and most factories cut production or closed completely. Millions of Russians lost all of their savings and their jobs. Many of the brightest people fled the country to avoid this disaster. This crisis went on for almost a decade until the economy began to improve. Foreign investors helped the Russian economy by having more confidence in the businesses. The rising prices of oil and metal exports also helped greatly in the early 2000's. The problem for Russia according to economists is that they are too dependent on oil exports and if there is a significant drop in oil prices then there could be a serious setback. [10]
Germany is also doing well. With the unification of East and West Germany significant progress has been made in its economy. It was difficult merging the two parts of Germany mainly because East Germany had many run down factories that needed to be closed causing many people to be unemployed. West Germany had a very strong economy which helped taxes still needed to be raised to pay for the economic improvements and unemployment. As expected this angered the people of Germany but they also do not want to go back to a separate state. Since reunification, significant progress has been made and Germany and Russia have been improving. [11] However, Russia still has a long way to go and must make significant changes in its economy in order to improve the quality of life for its people. Right now most of the Russian economy is based around primary resource exportation of oil, gas, coal and timber. To boost its economy, Russia needs to diversify by looking to secondary resource of manufacturing such as machinery and equipment and consumer goods as a way of regenerating its economic base.[12] These changes will improve the Russian economy but it will take time and improvements will be gradual.
While at first communism seemed like a new and promising economical concept, the combination of political pressure from the west, mismanagement by the communist governments and inherent economical problems all led to dissolution of the USSR and the fading of Communism in the east.

"the first time i heard you there were just 2 of you – you on the bass and someone on the piano – it was a concert at qu – many many years ago – i follow you sporadically and always enjoy your various groups and your ethics and your global concerns keep it up." Amy R., e-mail to the band
Co-founded by African-American jazz pianist Warren Byrd, and Jewish-American jazz bassist David Chevan in 1998, The Afro-Semitic Experience is a band that combines an eclectic array of styles, sophisticated musicianship, good songwriting, deep grooves, and years of friendship with a simple message: Unity in the Community. Their music has been heard around the United States—the group has performed at festivals, in churches, synagogues, colleges, and wherever people come together to share their love and respect for community. Their performances are celebrations of community and culture that invariably get audiences up and dancing.
With their unique instrumentation, solid grooves, and their ability to get an audience on its feet, The Afro-Semitic Experience is redefining the jazz concert. This is a band beyond category—their music is an intricate tapestry of spiritual, world-beat, funk, jazz, cantorial, gospel, salsa, swing . . . soul-driven music. Their concerts are celebrations where they play great music, tell stories, and offer a positive and meaningful message: Unity in the Community.
Their CDs have garnered critical acclaim and made numerous best-of lists. Their newest work, Jazz Souls on Fire, pays tribute to some of the Afro-Semitic Experience's favorite composers, ones whose own creativity inspired that of the members of the group. On this recording we visit pieces by Leon Thomas, Duke Ellington, Hank Mobley, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and others. We honor their music, forged out of the struggles from which they emerged, lighting a way for us. It brings us back to the groove and passion of blowing, dancing, and soaring freely in sound and spirit—it brings us back to our musical roots. It brings Unity in the Community.

As the diplomatic climate has decayed between Washington and Beijing in recent months, China has singled out one group of Americans for particularly harsh treatment. A lengthening list of Chinese-born Americans have been detained by China's State Security Ministry. One of them has recently been charged with spying for Taiwan, exposing him to a potentially lengthy prison term.
The reasons behind the detentions and charges are not clear. None of these Americans have been prominent critics of the Chinese government, and prosecutions of American citizens by Chinese security agencies have been rare since the Korean War. What is certain, however, is that the treatment of these Americans risks further damaging relations and raises new doubts about whether Beijing should be awarded the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Most of the detained Americans are scholars, but business people have also been held. Six American citizens have been detained for varying periods since last fall, along with a number of others holding permanent residency status in the United States.
Among those still detained are Dr. Gao Zhan, a sociologist associated with American University in Washington, and Dr. Li Shaomin, an American citizen who teaches marketing at the City University of Hong Kong. Both have been held since February. This month, Dr. Li was charged with espionage. Dr. Gao, a permanent resident of the United States, is accused of leaking state secrets and is being held incommunicado. Liu Yaping, a businessman who lives in Connecticut as a permanent resident, was arrested in Inner Mongolia in March. He is also being held incommunicado and is reported to be suffering from severe health problems.
The State Department has repeatedly called for fair legal treatment of all detained Americans. Individual members of Congress, like Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, have also spoken out on behalf of detained constituents. China has complied with treaty requirements guaranteeing detained United States citizens regular access to American consular officials. It has granted no such access to Dr. Gao and other permanent residents.
Since the days of Ping-Pong diplomacy three decades ago, understanding between America and China has benefited from scholarly and business contacts in which Chinese-Americans have played a significant role. If Beijing's leaders are sincere in their expressed desire for continued good relations with Washington, they will call a halt to this campaign of intimidation.Continue reading the main story

Hey guyzzzzz. It's been a WHOLE 2 weeks since my last "chapter" blog post so give me a few sentences to put my thoughts together. Last chapter was about the rise and fall of The Funky Skull, which put my e-commerce and negotiation skills to the test. It was getting super close to graduation in June of 2013 and my time at UC Irvine and Newport Beach was coming to an end. I can't believe I actually graduated (lol). Graduations are SO overrated. You are one of a thousand students, wearing the same exact uniform, walking on the same stage- just waiting for your name to be called. It was the most un-enthusiastic, non-special ceremony ever.
The best-worst part about graduation was that now I was officially moving back home to my parent's house in Los Angeles. Closer to the industry I wanted to work in - yay creative hipster peeps (ugh)! I vividly remember my last day at my Newport Beach duplex. My last round of roommates were a total nightmare so I couldn't wait to move the f out. Now that I think back, I would move back next to the beach in a heart beat.
Anyhoo, I officially moved back home to LA and a big shitty pile of reality greeted me at the front door. I shall call it the "post-college-life-beatdown." I realized there's no time to F around anymore and I better pave my way into an industry somehow because I need to network. I scoured Craigslist, Indeed and every possiblewww.sttropeztan.com job search engine for the perfect internship. I promised myself I'm not doing any retail, admin or hostess jobs - ONLY jobs that will open doors for my career. I came across a "Fashion PR Showroom" internship at MHA Media in Beverly Hills and was quickly enticed. This seemed like my "in." The showroom worked with high-end brands, placing them on the red carpet, magazines, etc. I submitted my resume, highlighting my experience with The Funky Skull.
I was called in for an interview with the showroom manager, I instantly knew we would get along. The entire conversation was about how I started The Funky Skull. This proves that real life experience is much more valuable to an employer than attending some snarky college. I got the internship and started the following week.
My job was to keep the showroom looking orderly, restock the St. Tropez Tan beauty products, greet stylists, and assist them with finding the perfect outfit for their A-list clientele. I also pitched St. Tropez tan to stylists to get their clients glowing before a red-carpet event. I went from nobody to some intern that stylists were chasing to get their celeb clients tanned. It felt pretty damn cool. My passion for St. Tropez as a brand grew and I couldn't wait till the day I was hired as their West Coast PR Manager.
That day came and I proudly took on the title. I was addicted to placements. Every single time I watched one of our St. Tropez celebs walk down the red carpet, I would gleam. MHA gave me opportunities to meet and closely interact with industry folks I would have probably never crossed paths with. A few months into my employment, we took on MHA's biggest client - BVLGARI. This is when things started to get really fun. It's not everyday you're planning an event for Beyonce's, Angelina Jolie's and Madonna's stylists. I met some amazing people to say the least, and learned the ropes of how to run my own agency - if I really wanted to.
There were a few missing pieces to MHA's complicated puzzle that would've made the place a more enjoyable place to work. Don't get me wrong, everyone was a pleasure to work with but boy, when the boss walked in - everyone, including the other executives would stiffen up. Although I knew deep down inside she actually liked me, it took a village to get a genuine smile out of that woman. Office morale was on a steady decline, and that once perky, excited Angela who couldn't wait to get to work slowly diminished. I knew my run here was coming to a halt.
Simultaneously, my boyfriend's music career was taking off. He needed someone to manage his bookings and make negotiations with promoters. I took on this role naturally because someone needed to do it. We got offers from all over the world and his first major Euro tour was in February of 2014. He wanted me to go with him and of course I said yes. I asked my boss if I can take a week off, after not having a single day off for over 6 months and her response just threw me over the roof. There is nothing more vengeful than an unappreciated employee. I responded to her email with a resignation letter and booked my flights to London with my love.
I had no more time to waste on someone else's dream.
For the next few months from February to November I was traveling the world with DAVI. From London, Israel, Amsterdam, Lebanon to New Caledonia - we toured the world. This is when I created The Afifi Group, and was doing freelance PR while traveling. I got my first few clients by word of mouth and it definitely wasn't an easy start. Things were going great, but there was no steady incline. Freelance work is a bitch. First, you need to chase your clients and actually make an agreement with them. Then, they're either extremely satisfied or extremely dissatisfied and don't want to pay for the work. Then you have to chase them for the money, and it's just an ongoing cycle of useless labor. I was ready to get back into the workforce and meet some new people. Again, I scoured Craigslist and came across a Tech PR internship. This time, I leveraged both The Funky Skull and The Afifi Group as past ventures. It worked and I was in.
Technology and app public relations is a completely different ball game than fashion PR. It's definitely not as pretty, glamorous or dramatic. PMBC was quite possibly the perfect place I could've landed. It completely opened my eyes to the amazing world of technology, apps and websites - and how quickly they're evolving. Instead of Glamour, InStyle and Vogue; I was now pitching Tech Crunch, Engadget and Reuters. We started taking on clients who we're getting millions in funding. I realized *WOAH* I can do this. I can sooooooooo do this. I wanted to dive head first into this tech world. The day I realized how much is possible was the day Onyx Creative was born.
I was working at PMBC when Onyx Creative launched. At first, it was completely manageable. I would go to work from 8:30AM-6:00PM and after work I would work on Onyx from 7:00PM-2:00AM. Every. Single. Day.
Me and DAVI were in Playa Del Carmen one weekend when I got an email from a Fundable analyst inquiring if I would like to place Onyx Creative on Fundable. At this exact moment, I knew my time at PMBC was over because my heart, mind and soul were with Onyx 100%. As soon as I got back, I told my boss about this opportunity and that August 2015 was going to be my last month there.
I ended my reign at PMBC and went straight to Burning Man to return to one of the biggest challenges of my life: Onyx Creative.
*Remember my first point in Chapter 1 when I said everything happens for a reason? It definitely does. Would I have been able to get media placements for Onyx Creative without a stint in PR? No. So go on, keep on keepin' on.*

James Henry Mays was born 29 June 1868 in Morristown, Hamblen County, Tennessee. He moved with his family in 1883 to Kansas, where he attended the Kansas State Normal School. He worked his way through the school by putting up timbers in lead and zinc mines and by teaching school. He graduated from the University of Michigan law department in 1895 and was admitted to the Michigan bar. He practiced law for a short time in Michigan before moving to Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1896 and then to Utah in 1902.
Mays married Sarah Elizabeth Randels, and they were the parents of five children. His interests turned to mining, and in association with other men he developed Castle Valley coal properties, becoming president and director of the Castle Valley Coal Company. He successfully fought the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and its subsidiary coal companies through the Interstate Commerce Commission and won an outlet for his coal with the victory.
In college James Mays was a distinguished debater, and in later years he was considered to be one of the most forceful and logical speakers in the state. His first political honors came unsolicited when he was nominated by the Progressives and Democrats and then elected to the Sixty-fourth Congress. He served three terms in the United States House of Representatives from 1914 to 1920, and was not a candidate for reelection in 1920. After leaving Washington, Mays retired to his stock range near Wendell, Idaho. He spend considerable time and means developing his extensive coal-mining projects in Huntington Canyon, Emery County, and also developing a power site near his ranch in Idaho. Mays died at his ranch on 19 April 1926 following a stroke and was buried in the Gooding Cemetery, Gooding, Idaho.

Oh god Kanako why are you awesome? щ(゚Д゚щ)
It's almost sad that you are on the bad guys team :(. Though I guess it doesn't really matter because she's still awesome no matter what.
Technically this was a Simone episode, and we learn quite a bit about her this week. For starters, she's actually Kanako's stepdaughter. Which is… weird, because they are the same age, lulz. She also has a sister, was involved in an accident and saved by Kanako apprivoising (wait, what?!) and sent to Kanako's side in a misguided thought of revenge. Yeah. And Kanako's reaction to all that?
Oh, only she could do that. But we still see she actually cares for her quite a bit deep down when Simone requests for herself to apprivoise and fight Takuto, along with some help by previous loser Takashi/Banker. Too bad Sugata helps out with Takuto..
Samekh's power is a bit… overkill isn't it?
But anyways, WHO CARES. I already can't wait for next week because…

Campbell, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound defensive back from Chesapeake (Va.) Grassfield, orally committed to UNC over a Connecticut scholarship offer and strong interest from Tennessee and Virginia Tech.
"I liked the proximity from home – and my family is going to be moving down there after I graduate – and I've always wanted to go to UNC," Campbell said. "When I was growing up, my favorite sport was basketball so I always loved UNC… So I always wanted to go there."
In July, Campbell unofficially visited UNC during the Tar Heels' Seven-on-Seven Team Camp. Before he left campus, Campbell and his father sat down with Butch Davis where he was extended a UNC scholarship offer.
"[Davis] said he liked my size and speed and they could make me into a real good safety," Campbell said. "He also said I could play some offense and probably run the ball a little bit for them. Just off the five games [of highlight film], he said he thought I was special. So he offered me."
Due to a leg injury, Campbell participated in only five games during his junior football season. In the limited action, he recorded one interception and returned a kick for a touchdown. In addition to starting at safety, Campbell received backup reps at wide receiver and running back.
Campbell called Kenny Browing, his primary recruiter, and verbally committed to him on Wednesday. He then proceeded to contact Everett Withers and Davis and informed both of his decision.
"They congratulated me," Campbell said. "They were happy, they were excited."
Campbell also excels in track where he runs the 200- and 400-meter. His best times are 21.4 seconds in the 200 and 47.2 seconds in the 400.
He said he is considering participating in track at UNC.
During the summer, Campbell camped at James Madison and Virginia Tech, where he said he impressed both coaching staffs with his performance, and his combination of size and speed.

Just a little note:
of the classes I personally offer are meant to provide a progression in inter-related book arts opportunities. It is not necessary
to take them in any specific order, but understand many are complimentary in nature. Likewise, a good foundational
class in tools and working methods will be to your advantage for intermediate or advanced work. By taking a decorative paper workshop, you may utilize your work in a book structure as text pages, end sheets or
as a cover. Similarily, by taking papermaking you may use the results in a book or as a substrate for a print, drawing,
painting, or with letterpress. Think
of them as part of, or a means to an end, not the end in themselves. (not that many can not stand alone and be appreciated
as completed work) It is also for this reason I repeat some foundational workshops more often. Understanding the method to
my madness may be helpful when making workshop choices.

Idris Elba was the man, as a psychotic woman hating murderer who
escapes jail and through a series of events, cross paths with Terri,
played by Taraji P. Henson, who's was in a troubled marriage and
vulnerable to the killer's charms.
It Reminded me of the 1986 movie, Extremities with Farrah Fawcett as the female victim being taken hostage by a criminal looking to steal her "goodies"
I thought No good deed was a lot more cleaver than most movies of this kind. In certain places, it has to fall into line of genre's plot (woman alone in the house without her man, then a scary bad boy comes to the door and charms his way into the lonely women's house), but the movie surprised me by putting a little ore substance into the female victim, by making her life more interesting than usual, and it helps having an Oscar nominee like Ms. Hensen play the role. A fact that was not used to advertise the movie as much as it should have. Definitely a better played out Victim than I've seen before.
A decent plot and a great thriller. I recommend giving it a shot.

"Estavanico" is based on a Latin tinge and features both the clear proud tone of trumpeter Byrd and dual flutes bobbing and weaving the melody above the big band sound. "Essence" changes the mood to one using a strolling bass line behind soloists who make obvious use of the echo feature. Airto's composition "Xibaba" features the composer on congas and percussion, the soothing and natural flute of Hermeto Pascoal, and introduces that sound that became rather popular in the `70s: the electric piano with congas and instrumental soloists in a groove. That R&B groove is further amplified on "The Dude," which features Foster and Dodgion ripping back-to-back solos on tenor and alto (respectively) followed by Campbell and Byrd.
Highlights include innovative solos from Tabackin on flute and tenor sax, tasteful wah-wah guitar work from Richardson, and of course Donald Byrd's powerful yet restrained trumpet work. The different moods exhibited offer the listener an opportunity to hear this ensemble from more than one perspective.

I recently read Philippa Gregory's fictional biography The Other Queen. I had expected this would be similar to The Other Boleyn Girl, which I read last year (reviewed here). I had certainly enjoyed that book though was very aware of the liberties Gregory had taken with historical sources but approached it in the same vein as I did The Tudors TV series. It was clear though from the start of The Other Queen that Gregory had changed her style.
The novel covers the early years of Mary, Queen of Scots' imprisonment in England under the watchful eyes of the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury and is written from the perspective of these three historical characters.
I will note that Gregory can't seem to win as she had often been criticised for her historical inaccuracies and soap opera style in earlier books such as The Other Boleyn Girl and then when she adopts a different approach and produces a work with a more serious tone and greater historical accuracy she is criticised because it isn't as fun or fast paced as earlier books. However, I enjoyed this more sober style and the tight focus of the novel as well as being pleased that it had two of my favourite women from the Elizabethan period at its heart. My full review can be read in my personal journal.

This new Dragon Age is ambitious, and looking extraordinary so far. Originally slated for this fall but pushed back a year to give the team at BioWare more flexibility, Dragon Age: Inquisition has the unenviable task of trying to recapture disgruntled fans who loved the first game in BioWare's fantasy role-playing game series, Dragon Age: Origins, but were disappointed by the clearly-rushed sequel, Dragon Age II.

The Undefeated Movie Reviews: Terrible Doesn't Even Do It Justice
Movie reviews of Stephen K. Bannon's Sarah Palin documentary The Undefeated are about what you'd expect. Not great from the LAME-stream media, with staunch defenders on the other end of the political spectrum.
Aside from being erroneously titled (even if you don't count the 2008 presidential election, Palin lost a 2002 bid for Lt. Governor of Alaska all on her own), the film is essentially a troop-rallying campaign infomercial.

See the clothes behind H&M x Wes Anderson's 'Come Together' film
Acclaimed director Wes Anderson is known for his stylishly quirky, geek chic movies like The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Darjeeling Limited, which have time and again placed focus on fashion and aesthetics to drive their narratives. So, it's no surprise that for Christmas this year, the filmmaker has reteamed with actor Adrien Brody, who has starred in the aforementioned films, to create a festive ad for the Swedish clothing giant H&M for its 2016 Holiday collection. Common themes that run throughout Anderson's films are reunion and unexpected friendships. Therefore, it's only appropriate to that the festive short film features strangers who come together for some merrymaking, despite an unfortunate situation.
The collection features laid-back and wearable pieces, of which you can layer or wear individually, while mixing casual looks with a dash of festive elegance for getting cosy with your loved ones. Key pieces from the relaxed men's range include a knitted sweater, bomber jacket, and trousers. A bodysuit, satin maxi dress that easily flatters and hugs any woman's figure, and iconic accessories like the choker make up some of the women's key items.
Simple and relaxed knitwear and hoodies are perfect for those who are looking for something casual yet trendy and they can be easily worn all year round as well. For those who love to spice up your outfit a wee bit, H&M invites us to pair a black bralette with a shimmery silver skirt, combined with metallic pumps and silver rings, or even an embellished choker. For contrasting outfits, elegant trousers can be mixed and matched with the collection's nude tops, while the black tuxedo jacket is perfectly paired with a black lace bodysuit. Thanks to the collection's diversity and multi-functionality, textures and shades can be easily mixed and matched to prevent the monochromatic color scheme from feeling flat.
Available at H&M stores islandwide.

Item #4742
A better growing media for better food! We partnered with Wonder Soil® to bring you an organic, coir-based, environmentally friendly media that is specially formulated for growing microgreens and baby greens. Most growing media is made with peat, which is an integral part of the bog wetlands environment, and is not a sustainable product; harvesting peat depletes the bog habitat. Our media is made with coir, which unlike peat, is a renewable resource made from coconut husks that would otherwise be discarded. Worm castings have also been added to give your greens all the nutrients they need to grow. The refill contains enough to sow two standard 10" x 20" tray/flats of microgreens or baby greens (tray filled to half the depth).
