Johnny Mathis is currently touring the U.S. on his Voice of Romance tour - and indeed, for over 60 years, that appellation has been apt. This Saturday evening, June 10, Mathis is coming to your own city, courtesy of Public Television and TJ Lubinsky's TJL Productions' popular and long-running My Music series. Yes, this Saturday is Johnny Mathis Night, because that's when Public Television stations nationwide will air Wonderful! Wonderful!, a concert film featuring all of Mathis' beloved favorite songs to support your local station's June pledge drive. But that's not all.
In conjunction with the upcoming broadcast, TJ Lubinsky's TJL Productions will release an exclusive 4-CD box set. 60th + 1 Anniversary: Classic Singles & Favorite Songs brings together 90 tracks including first-time-on-CD debuts from the entirety of Mathis' remarkable 61 years in music. This career-spanning collection is the first comprehensive anthology of Mathis' top 20 U.S. singles on both the Pop and Adult Contemporary charts, and intertwines those chart hits in their original single versions with personal favorite selections hand-picked by Mathis. It will be available exclusively as a pledge premium for Public Television.
60th + 1 Anniversary: Classic Singles & Favorite Songs kicks off with a tour through Johnny's early, groundbreaking recordings at Columbia Records as well as his brief sojourn to Mercury Records, where he formed his own Global Records production company. Disc One concentrates on the original mono single versions (a number of which are new to CD) of Mathis classics recorded in the 1950s and 1960s plus a smattering of Mathis' own favorite album tracks from the era. In addition to such perennials as "Misty," "Wonderful! Wonderful!," "It's Not for Me to Say," "Chances Are," and "Maria" as audiences first heard them on mono 45 RPM records, this disc boasts CD premieres of the rare 1963 B-side "Come Back," the 1966 U.K.-only His Master's Voice recording of the Man of La Mancha standard "The Impossible Dream," and Johnny's duet with The Young Americans on The Sherman Brothers' Academy Award-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee" from Mary Poppins.
Disc Two spans the period of 1969-1976, in which Johnny wrapped his velvet pipes around contemporary pop hits of the day, released his first collaboration with Philadelphia soul maestro Thom Bell, and scored his first U.K. Number One with "Soleado (When a Child is Born)." Johnny's versatility and international acclaim is underscored by the inclusion - a U.S. CD first - of his rare Spanish rendition of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "(They Long to Be) Close to You." Three songs from the Bell-produced I'm Coming Home are featured in their single mixes, including the CD premiere of a unique edit of the anthemic "Life is a Song Worth Singing." Mathis' performance of Bell's shimmering "You're as Right as Rain" further showcases their close musical relationship. A previously unreleased recording of the ballad "The Way of Love," so closely identified with Cher, makes its debut here.
Disc Three (1976-1984) begins with two selections from Mathis and Bell's follow-up album, Mathis Is, before chronicling Johnny's massive chart-topper "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late," a duet with Deniece Williams, and his subsequent pairings with Williams (a revival of the Motown staple "You're All I Need to Get By" and the Philly soul scorcher "Love Won't Let Me Wait"), Jane Olivor (Marvin Hamlisch and the Bergmans' Academy Award-nominated "The Last Time I Felt Like This"), Dionne Warwick ("Friends in Love"), and Angela Bofill ("You're a Special Part of Me"). This disc also presents numerous standards sung in Johnny's imitable fashion (a disco take on "Begin the Beguine," "As Time Goes By," "Orange Colored Sky," "Nature Boy") as well as his original recording of Michael Jackson and Paul Anka's floor-filling "Love Never Felt So Good," reinvented by the late Jackson and Justin Timberlake as a chart-topping hit in 2014. Paul Williams and the Bergmans' previously unreleased "The One and Only" premieres on this disc.
The fourth and final disc in this set begins with the new-to-CD single mix of "Simple" from 1984 and takes listeners through the present day, closing with "What a Wonderful World," subtly reflecting on Johnny's favorite time of the year: Christmas. Along the way, the disc features his 1988 hit version of Little Anthony and The Imperials' "I'm On the Outside Looking In," plus three collaborative tracks with the late, great Henry Mancini from their salute to The Hollywood Musicals, two duets with Dionne Warwick ("Two Strong Hearts" and "Who's Counting Heartaches") and a beautiful performance with Yolanda Adams of Thom Bell and Linda Creed's "You Make Me Feel Brand New." Selections are also spotlighted from Mathis' concept album tributes to songwriters Duke Ellington and Diane Warren and to the music of Broadway and Nashville.
Every track on 60th + 1 Anniversary: Classic Singles & Favorite Songs has been remastered by Mike Piacentini at Sony's Battery Studios, and the booklet features my new liner notes drawing on quotes from Johnny Mathis himself. This special collection celebrating a true American legend will only be available for those supporting their local Public Television station.
Johnny Mathis - Wonderful! Wonderful!, part of TJ Lubinsky's acclaimed My Music series, debuts on Public Television stations this Saturday evening at 7 pm or 8 pm in most markets (check your local listings). New Yorkers should take note that PBS flagship WNET/Thirteen is the only station delaying the broadcast until this coming Thursday, June 15. You can peruse the full track listing for the box set below!

text: 2017 is coming to a close in a monumental way for us. Not only did we get to work with this loving, kind, and all around incredible couple, experiencing their wedding day along side them, witnessing some of the most memorable moments we've ever had the pleasure of photographing… their photos have turned up within the pages and on the cover of Washingtonian Bride and Groom magazine! To say we are thrilled is an understatement. This post exists to say thank you to the editors at Washingtonian for their consideration, to Roberts & Co. Events for their support, and to all of the impeccable vendors who put together this beautiful wedding day. Most of all, we want to say a huge thank you to Daniela and Jeremy. They allowed us to be a part of their wedding which for us would have been more than enough. However, this sweet couple went to the extra, completely unnecessary length of allowing us to have this opportunity. We are so grateful. We're still in shock! On newstands now! Go out and grab a copy!

Paddy Borthwick 2017 Riesling and Chardonnay, and 2016 Left Hand and Right Hand Pinot Noirs
Paddy Borthwick is one of the most experienced winemakers in the Greater Wairarapa region having made wine for over 35 vintages. He is very understated about his achievements, but his 27 ha vineyard on Dakins Road in Gladstone, part of the family's Te Whanga farming business, produces highly regarded wine that is seen in a number of influential overseas markets. All the wines are strong performers, but his 'Left Hand – Right Hand' Pinot Noir bottlings are particularly fascinating. The 'Left Hand' wine is made by the 'logical and precise' Braden Crosby, Paddy's assistant winemaker for many years, now departed to make his own 'On Giant's Shoulders' Martinborough wines. The 'Right Hand' wine is made intuitively and impulsively by Paddy. For both wines, the fruit was selected at vineyard level, vinified and elevaged separately, with a three barrel selection of each to determine the final wines. This experiment was initiated in 2011 (click here to see my reviews), with wines made in 2013 (click here to see my reviews) and 2014 (click here to see my reviews). 2012 was a poor vintage and the 2015 vintage was one of very low yields, thus the wines were not made. I must admit my preference is slightly in favour of the 'Right Hand' wine for its greater complexities from what I have tasted to date. Here, I review the 2017 Riesling (a re-look), the 2017 Chardonnay, and 2016 'Left Hand' and 'Right Hand' Pinot Noirs, where Braden made a 'guest appearance'. www.borthwick.co.nz
Paddy Borthwick Wairarapa Riesling 2017Riesling from New Zealand - Wairarapa & WellingtonReview Date : 10-Mar-2018Bright straw-yellow colour with pale green-gold hues, a little lighter on the edge.

The mouthfeel is fine with a firm core, and the wine flows with good linearity. Very refined fruit extract textures and soft, lacy acidity balances the fruit. This is pure and focussed, and carries to a lingering finish with toasty nuances.

The inevitable reality is when you get 50 typewriters together, wonderful things like this pair happen!
|1956 Royal Quiet De Luxe AB3152608
|1966 Olympia SM9 2814461
Excellent and beautiful choices! You really struck it blue there (:
To have your choice of colorful typewriters and unique typefaces is rare - and to not actually lose your wallet? AWESOME!!
It's pretty funny how it ended up, because these were the absolute clear ones I had to have and they matched and everything. XD
On one hand, I think I'm really, really lucky to get my wallet back. On the other hand, shouldn't it be default for anybody with a grain of conscience to not steal it?
Two really nice typewriters, almost as good as new. As a mechanic I worry a little bit about the soap and water, do you follow up with something to prevent rust? Rust is the dreaded cancer of all things metallic and I would hate to be speeding up the process. Those shaded type faces may look nice and they are but they present problems in other areas of typing.
For instance, it is almost impossible to cut a stencil and if you have to make a carbon copies the result is not the best. This is why Pica and Elite were by far the most popular type faces going around because they were practical.
These shaded typefaces look their best when used with a carbon ribbon.
I wouldn't say almost as good as new--but considering their age and the state I found them in, they cleaned up very nicely.
Stencils probably weren't one of the main things that ordinary people who bought portables made, I think. Seems like more the domain of the office typewriter.
Yeah, I dry them as quickly as I can with the forced air heater, specifically blow remaining water out of the areas I can and oil it when it is still warm. I've been doing it for a few years and never had any adverse effects that I can think of.
Don't worry, my typewriter guy washes typers in a sink and dries them in the cab of his truck (gets really hot in a car in AZ in the summer - just as good as an oven). I use a blow dryer and have never had a problem either. If it's good enough for a 3rd-generation typewriter repairman, it works for me. (:Delete
Just goes to show, I am not too old to learnDelete
Congratulations on those fine looking typewriters. I really like the typefaces.ReplyDelete
I love the SM9, especially the congressional elite. It is a fantastic typeface!
I have to wonder, though, if the blue is original. Blue and pink SM7's pop up on the market rather often; but a blue SM9? I've never seen such a beast. If I were to guess, I would say that it's a custom paint job. A very good one, yes, but I really don't think it's the original color of the machine.
I really should do a paint job on one of my SM9's. If I could make it look half as good as that one I'd be in business!
Beautiful machines and great finds. Congrats!
Okay, I have to give it to you for being completely right. I -have- seen a blue SM8 but it -does- have all white keys and knobs. And the telltale sign is how the little blue, white, and red squares indicating the ribbon colour selecting are attached. And I can clearly see they were re-glued on (and the blue square at some point had broken off) comparing it with my SM8. It is a very good repaint, indeed. It makes me feel a little better knowing that Olympia wouldn't have manufactured this with the colour scheme conundrum that this has.
I was fully prepared to refute your argument that it was repainted (as I located the blue SM8 picture though it's too low-res to prove anything), but there the evidence stared me in the face, haha. If only they'd repainted it a turquoise to match the shift keys it would have looked amazing.
Beautiful specimens, and for $30? That's a massive bargain that I am SO JEALOUS :p
Love reading your posts Nick, just have to ketchup with everyone else's too!
It was $80 total for both, so $50 went to the Royal. I saved $20 from the asking price though!
Lots of great things have happened all around, you're sure to have fun doing so :D

"I wish I could be
Your first love the way you were mine
Wish you didn't remember this feeling
But knew it the way I know it"
–Grimes "Pretty Dark (Demo)"
In the gleefully artificial disco haze of 1977, our role model Amanda Lear deadpan announced that she was a photograph. "I am a glossy photograph," she coos in her song "I Am A Photograph." "Of course I am a bit retouched and my color has been processed." Over forty years later, Grimes–otherwise known as Claire Boucher, otherwise known as c, renamed by her billionaire beau Elon Musk for the symbol for the speed of light, otherwise known as another one of my maniacal obsessions–became a hologram.
That's right. While everyone was too busy mocking the chunky angles of the clearly Blade Runner-inspired Tesla Cybertruck (which fuck the haters…I want. Imagine rumbling through the Manhattan streets in that monstrosity. And given the way I drive (recklessly), I could terrorize a city of 8 million plus people. Ho hum…a girl can dream) and laughing at his smashingly failed window demonstration, Grimes transformed into a Holo-Grimes, I mean Cybergirl.
Though she was speaking in a bizarre, affected Madonna-style British accent and wearing a wig from Ricky's, Grimes was recognizable by her readily identifiable leg tattoo. The real kicker to this hologram hallucination was her introduction of Elon as "her creator," who then shuffled awkwardly onstage to laser lights and Vangelis-esque music. Clearly, the duo are living in 3019, while we're all stuck in the nightmare of 2019.
It was both wholly inspiring and secondhand embarrassing, leading me to fantasize about other potential Holo-Grimes appearances ever since. Grimes became a flickering figment of our imagination, a shimmering image that, like Lear's photograph, appeared as if beamed from another galaxy. She was, at once, an icon, an idol and yes, a role model. Of course, Grimes has always existed as if she arrived from another planet or even, a different plane of reality. But now with a billionaire who is planning to shoot other billionaires into space, Grimes's strangest visions seem to have the potential to become a reality. And really, isn't encouraging extreme behavior exactly what love should be?
Yes, for this role model post, I'm highlighting one of my deepest darkest fascinations that is sure to get me some emailed hatred from people accusing me of loving, as Zola Jesus rage-tweeted at Grimes, "Silicon fascist privilege": Grimes and Elon's relationship. Now, other than a few, nearly always intriguingly odd and off-putting public appearances, Grimes and Elon have kept their relationship, at least recently, mostly quiet. Much to my dismay. I am completely enamored by their techno-romance, their alien A.I. love affair.
Now, this isn't to say Grimes isn't herself worthy of a solo role model post. She certainly is (Elon less so, but last year's spiral out of control with copious memes, SEC investigations, and a visit to the Joe Rogan podcast to smoke pot and say we live in a simulation does seem to present an argument otherwise). I mean, this photograph with Grimes wedged between a horrified-looking Katy Petty and amused Rihanna is evidence enough:
And how about her recently updated bio:
"Grimes started producing music when she had to learn the program Logic for her neuroscience class. Shortly thereafter she had a viral Myspace page, which allowed her to start booking shows and focus full-time on music. She lived in a crack den in Montreal with no heat (where she got frostbite twice and her neighbor was bludgeoned to death in the hallway), playing raves until her 2012 breakout, Visions, which was recorded during a 2 week speed binge wherein she did not leave her bedroom.
Upon the success of this album, Grimes attempted to enter society as a regular human, which has clearly not gone super well but has nonetheless been entertaining. She's since become an award winning music video director as well as a music writer, producer, engineer, singer-songwriter. She's toured globally to sold out crowds, headlined festivals, and is now moving into the space of corporate surrealism. She recently had experimental eye surgery only available to the upper class. She is putting out her final earth album this year."
I mean, same. Entering society as a regular human hasn't gone too well for me either.
Or her workout regiment, posted as a caption on an Instagram photograph promoting the Stella McCartney for Adidas collection:
"My training is a 360 approach. I first maintain a healthy cellular routine where I maximize the function of my mitochondria with supplements such as NAD+, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Magnesium, etc. This helps promote ATP and it's incredibly visceral. From that point I spend 2-4 hours in my deprivation tank, this allows me to "astro-glide" to other dimensions – past, present, and future.
In the afternoons I do a 1-2 hour sword fighting session with my trainer, James Lew, we go over the fundamentals that work the obliques, core stabilizes, and triceps as well as a few tricks. To wind down from this I spend 30-45 minutes on an inclined hike at roughly 4-4.5 miles per hour, arguably the most efficient workout.
I then spend 45 minutes stretching before heading into the studio where my mind and body are functioning at peak level, with a neuroplastic goal between 57.5 and 71.5 AphC's (which is my preferred range for my blood type). I've outfitted my studio with the highest grade of red light. It is pretty much 1000 sqf IR Sauna.
Hana then comes over and we do a screaming session for 20-25 minutes while I slow boil the honey tea that maximizes vocal proficiency.
I have also eliminated all blue light from my vision through an experimental surgery that removes the top film of my eyeball and replaces it with an orange ultra-flex polymer that my friend and I made in the lab this past winter as a means to cure seasonal depression.
I go to bed with a humidifier on."
I can't even tell if she's kidding. I hope not.
Even before she became Grimes, Claire Boucher was already working on her role model status with the storied tale of her failed Huck Finn adventure down the Mississippi. In 2009, Grimes and William Gratz, a college friend from Montreal, tried to sail the ever-changing, never-changing murky water to New Orleans starting in Minnesota where they constructed a houseboat. Although, boat seems to be a loose definition of the term, which they named the "Velvet Glove Cast in Iron," and filled with live chickens, a sewing machine and twenty pounds of potatoes. They also renamed themselves "Veruschka and Zelda Xox." As you do. After many failed attempts to sail and several police interventions later, their boat was impounded. Why did they do this? I mean, why not…
As much as the tech-bros unwaveringly adore him, Grimes is as much of a genius as Elon. Studying neuroscience and Russian in college before dropping out, Grimes's music constructs psychedelic and surreal sonic landscapes, much of which she mixes, produces and writes herself. She's got layered vocals, sci-fi futuristic imagery, and at once, dystopian and utopian lyrics. Listening to Grimes feels like soaking in a sensory deprivation chamber–or at least your bathtub–while on ecstasy, whether her breakthrough album Visions with songs like "Genesis," "Oblivion," and "Be a Body" to her more recent Art Angels that, while bouncy and pop-influenced, still contained songs like "Kill V. Maim" (B-E-H-A-V-E!).
And she doesn't show any signs of softening. Her upcoming album, aptly titled Miss Anthropocene, veers heavily into transhumanism as she evolves into a villainous embodiment of unleashed A.I. power, with a love of "Violence." As she told Cultured, "It's sort of about this demon of the end of the world, this character that's like the Voldemort of climate change. She's relishing the end of the world, and it's an album about how great fucking climate change is." This Grimes era began late last year with the release of the song "We Appreciate Power" with her frequent collaborator Hana. With a lyric video that looks as if it contained some Space X b-roll, Grimes boasted, "Simulation is the future," juxtaposed with the hilariously mundane repeated description of "putting makeup on my face."
Her transhumanism isn't just a concept album put-on either since she recently argued on astrophysicist Sean Carroll's podcast that human art might be at its end. "I feel like we're at the end of art, human art. Once there's actually AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), they're gonna be so much better at making art than us…once AI can totally master science and art, which could happen in the next 10 years, probably more like 20 or 30 years." This, coupled with her assertion that live music is also nearing its completion, makes me pray that Grimes refuses to appear in any upcoming concerts except as an avatar. I'd pay good money to watch chaos ensue as her new virtual avatar "War Nymph" misanthropically sings to an audience of infuriated concertgoers like an instant replay of the rage and frenzy whipped up by Public Image Ltd's projection screen performance in 1981 at the Ritz.
Now, whether rightly or wrongly, Miss Anthropocene has Musk's, well, musk all over it. I don't like attributing female musicians' creative output to their relationship with some dude, whether Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain or Courtney Love and Billy Corgan, but Grimes's current dual fascination and fear of A.I. reflects Musk's own outspoken warnings about the dangers of A.I. And this isn't necessarily a bad thing since together it seems like both Grimes and Elon reach new pinnacles of deranged.
Take, for example, Grimes's recently released song "So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth," which is about cum possession. Yes, you heard that right. With lyrics like "Cause I'm full of love from you," Grimes explains in Cultured that the song is about: "Specifically how when a dude comes inside you, you become in their thrall—how it's an attack on your feminist freedom…It's sad how love can be this beautiful thing, but then love is the thing that's fucking up my career…The biggest change for me this year is losing my hardcore masculinity. I used to just be free—free of all this bullshit that it seemed like all the other girls were going through, and now I feel like I'm not." Ah…romance!
In the recent workshop Happy Endings, held in connection to the the group show Idol Worship curated by yours truly at Smack Mellon, artist and writer Patty Gone and writer and yoga instructor Claire Donato introduced the participants to not only the wonders of romance novelist and author photo auteur Danielle Steel, but the notion of twin flame meditation in which you visualize your "twin flame," a perfect match, a soul-mate. Now, I'm not sure I was able to access my twin flame, but I do know who has: Grimes and Elon.
Just think of how they met. Elon was going to tweet a joke about "Rococo's Basilisk," a bizarre combination of Rococo style and Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment that questions if A.I. would kill humans that didn't work to create it. Turns out Grimes made the same joke years earlier with her "Flesh Without Blood" music video. So he DM-ed her and they lived happily ever after on Mars. Just imagine where it will go from here. Will Elon blast Grimes to space? Will she become the first human fitted with Neuralink? Will they both become holograms? The possibilities are endless.
I wasn't always a Grimes and Elon stan. In fact, I discovered my love for both of them right when my adoration of Azealia Banks kicked into high gear. Maybe it was Elon supposedly rolling around on acid tweeting about making Tesla short shorts to amuse Grimes and insult investors shorting stocks. Or Azealia waiting alone for Grimes and roasting the couple in their own home. No matter what it was, their mutual shit show gifted me with three new obsessions.
However, my real fascination with the duo probably started a few months earlier with their first startling outing as a couple at the 2018 Met Gala. And no, this wasn't, in fact, the Camp gala, though their appearance was as camp as can be, dressed as the strangest, most revolting Goth couple in your high school that smoked cigarettes behind the dumpsters. Grimes, with a high black ponytail, markedly different from her normal Technicolor hairdo, wore a dress designed by Elon himself, which included, of course, a choker that resembled the Tesla logo. Juxtaposed with her darkness, Elon sported a white tux. But, my favorite part of their appearance wasn't their outfits. It was that they both looked completely hammered, but were trying really hard to pretend they were sober. Take a look– and I've stared at these pictures way more than I'd probably like to divulge publicly:
Admittedly, I've been both of them: chatty Elon and red wine mouth Grimes. Relatable.
Plus, no matter what you think of them, you have to admit that Elon swinging Grimes wildly around priceless antiquities is sweet:
After the burn they received from insult-master Azealia and the subsequent investigation by the SEC, which required Elon to admit that his pot joke (about selling Tesla at $420 a share) had to do with trying to make Grimes laugh (cringe!), the duo seemed to lay low, though their mutual influence on each other was visible to those of us in the know. For instance, Grimes recently posted an image on her Instagram showing her playing with fire, in the form of a Boring Company's Not A Flamethrower. After witnessing this image, I like to imagine her most recent song "My Name Is Dark" with the lyric "You know me as the girl who plays with fire" to be secretly about her and Elon doing drugs and playing with flamethrowers. Also just the sheer amount of meme-related content on Elon's page just screams Grimes. As does this Cyber-owl:
Sure, I know…I know…I know what you're saying, anti-capitalist whiners: Elon Musk is a billionaire plutocrat! Isn't Grimes allowing herself to be the de facto Cybertruck model, as well as the self-identified creation of a man like Musk, exactly the opposite of what Grimes ever stood for? The same woman who wrote a feminist manifesto on her Tumblr in 2013 in which she addressed being called anti-men? As she wrote, then: "I'm tired of men who aren't professional or even accomplished musicians continually offering to 'help me out' (without being asked), as if I did this by accident and I'm going to flounder without them. or as if the fact that I'm a woman makes me incapable of using technology. I have never seen this kind of thing happen to any of my male peers." Just think, years later she would become a creation.
And I know…I know…as soon as she started dating Elon, Grimes took the "anti-imperialist" descriptor off of her Twitter bio since it's hard to claim that stance when dating someone whose tagline is "Colonize Mars."
And I know…I know…Grimes called Elon's anti-union actions at Tesla "fake news" and even went so far as to claim she "heavily" investigated the issue herself. Private eye Grimes! She's on the case!
But, what is love if not an opportunity to sacrifice all your previously long-held beliefs?

Minding Your PDQs
For those on a gluten-free diet, these are heady days on the west side of Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Since 2014, Whole Foods and Jules Thin Crust have opened on Kings Highway, Pei Wei, Zinburger and Wegmans are in the shopping center on the former Garden State Park grounds, while MOM's Organic Market and Snap Kitchen are slated to open along Haddonfield Road this fall. Joining the ranks with its grand opening last month is PDQ, a Florida-based fast-casual concept in eight states that is owned by the co-founders of Outback Steakhouse.
During a recent visit, I stopped in (there's also a drive-through) and placed a gluten-free order of grilled tenders and fries. The manager explained that not only is the kitchen staff notified of gluten-free requests, the fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer and the grilled tenders are prepared separately. Though there are no sandwich buns, the grilled chicken and grilled turkey options can be ordered as lettuce wraps. According to PDQ's allergen list, the grilled chicken salad also is gluten free, as are nearly all sauces and dressings.
Cheerwine soda, a Carolina favorite.
As much as I like Chick-fil-A, PDQ's grilled chicken is better, served as tenders rather than nuggets and more flavorful. While not as addictive as Chick-fil-A's waffle fries, the skin-on fries at PDQ are well seasoned and tasty. The Cherry Hill location, with its open kitchen, is bright and airy and the employees are cheery, as one would expect of a Southern-rooted restaurant. And if you opt for placing a drive-through order, don't be surprised when you place your order face-to-face with a PDQ employee rather than through an intercom.

Congruent Leadership: values in action

To discuss the significance of an appropriate leadership theory in order to develop an understanding of clinical leadership. Leadership theories developed from management and related paradigms, particularly transformational leadership, may be ineffective in supporting nurses to gain insights into clinical leadership or to develop and implement clinical leadership skills. Instead, congruent leadership theory, based on a match between the clinical leaders' actions and their values and beliefs about care and nursing, may offer a more firm theoretical foundation on which clinical nurses can build an understanding of and capacity to implement clinical leadership or become clinical leaders.It is important to recognize that leadership theories based on a management paradigm may not be appropriate for all clinical applications. Education should be aimed specifically at clinical leaders, recognizing that clinical leaders are followed not for their vision or creativity (even if they demonstrate these), but because they translate their values and beliefs about care into action.

The ownership changed changed hands several times - and at one point, Cummins listed the building for demolition, which triggered a transfer to the Land Bank, which wited out the back taxes, and it was transferred from the George Group to straw buyer "CLE Ohio Properties, LLC" to 3025 W25 LLC. Now it is being renovated to house a "Nike Shop." This is how the Cuyahoga County Land Bank operates in their new and improved role as a "developer!!?"

Meteo by Naoto Fukasawa for Magis
Milan 2013: Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa has designed a set of minimal dials to monitor air temperature, pressure and humidity for Italian brand Magis.
The Meteo barometer, thermometer and hygrometer come with a special stand to display all three together on a desktop, but can also be separated and mounted on a wall.
"There is a certain appeal about gauges that we find on cars and air planes," says Fukasawa, who added clear grey markings and a bright green needle to each simple white face.
Naoto Fukasawa presented the prototype at Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan this month, where he also showed a wooden stool with a stainless steel footrest for Italian manufacturer Plank. See all our stories about design by Naoto Fukasawa.
Other products by Magis at the trade fair included an aluminium sideboard by the Bouroullec brothers. See all our stories about design from Magis.

Singer Mariah Carey continues her promotional tour. The songstress has been making appearances on several talk shows to promote her forthcoming E! docu-series "Mariah's World", and yesterday she made an appearance on 'Live With Kelly" to discuss her new reality show, changes to her Las Vegas residency and her latest headline grabbing parties. It was pajama day so Carey conducted the interview in a green lingerie ensemble. Kelly and her guest co-host actor Jussie Smollett even played "Humming With The Host", where the two hummed one of Carey's hits and she had to guess the song. Two weeks ago, Carey visited WWHL for a jovial interview. Singer KeKe Wyatt packs her powerhouse vocals on her latest #KeKeCovers installment, creating a paradise for listeners with her amazing voice. Previously, Wyatt had covered "I'm Going Down" by Mary J. Blige/Rose Royce, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston, "Love On Top" by Beyoncé, "Diamonds" by Rhianna, "Oui" by Jeremih and "Diamonds And Pearls" by Prince. KeKe Wyatt's latest single "Rated Love" is available on iTunes. Former "America's Got Talent" inaugural winner Bianca Ryan is still an ambitious individual achieving success ten years later, not only singing, but songwriting and acting as well. Her journey has been one filled with many peaks and valleys, but the singer says she wouldn't have it any other way. She began her career in the arts at an early age by taping dancing at the age of three and she also won numerous talent shows for dance in tap, ballet and jazz. Although she became known for her vocal prowess, singing wasn't her first passion. The love for singing was inspired by her father, a guitarist and singer who toured with gospel artists. She is currently working on an EP that she hopes to release some time this year. She describes the EP as one having songs that will inspire and motivate people. Producer/arranger/conductor Quincy Jones once said Ryan would be the next revolution in the music industry. She's well on her way and no doubt, the best is yet to come. The Golden State Warriors lit up the Orale Arena in Oakland last night as they defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder. As Steph Curry and company advance to the NBA Finals to take on Labron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, several notables reacted to the victory, a straight game three win for GSW who bounced back after a losing streak against OKC at the start of the series. Rapper Big Sean, DJ Premiere, singer Peebles and rapper Lil B The Basegod are among those who tweeted responses to last night's win. Earlier this month, news broke of a super group featuring three fourths of the group Rage Against The Machine, along with Public Enemy's Chuck D, and Cypress Hill's B Real. Today, Prophets of Rage formally announced it's existence along with its first show. The new band will make its live debut at the Whiskey A Go Go in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale at 10:00 local time and can be purchased at the venue's box office. Following an opening set from Public Enemy's DJ Lord, the show is scheduled for a 9:30 pm start time. Proceeds from the show will go to PATH, a California based family of anti-homeless agencies. The Rage members on board, which include guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk, will perform songs from their band's own catalog along with Public Enemy's and Cypress Hill's, in a addition to new music. They've enlisted the rallying cry #MakeAmericaRageAgain.

If fans thought that former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham would retire from music after the girl group disbanded in 2000, they're wrong, and there are receipts to prove it. Earlier this month, several demos of an unfinished solo project from 2003 titled "Come Together" went viral. The project was produced by Damon Dash, for whom she modeled the urban wear line Rock-A-Wear. Dash told the BBC News at the time that if Rock-A-Fella could make Beckham hot they could make anyone hot. Well, it appears that Dash really didn't have that much faith in her after all. Now, 13 years later, fans get an opportunity to hear what they worked on, and it's interesting. Since she's currently working as a fashion designer, Beckham more than likely didn't want the tracks released. At any rate, a her foray into R&B/Hip Hop was a bold step. Following the release of his single "Lake By The Ocean" in April, Maxwell has revealed the cover art for his next studio effort, "blackSUMMER'Snight", the album from which the track is taken. The cover photo shows the singer clad in a black suit covering his face against a white, brick background. "blackSUMMER'S night", Maxwell's first new music in seven years, will be released on July 1, right after his BET Awards performance on June 26 and in time for his performance at the 2016 Essence Music Festival. In the meantime, Maxwell and his leading lady take a dip in the visual for the single. The Philip
Andleman directed clip finds Maxwell serenading his special lady, who totes jugs of water in the sweltering heat of Haiti and Dominican Republic. Maxwell has described the visual as a love story about finding joy after having gone through struggle and betrayal. It's certainly worth watching. Just as Chance the Rapper's latest studio effort "Coloring Book" is set to hit all music streaming services today, the Chicago MC is celebrating the release of a new music video for the single "No Problem", his collaboration with 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne. Chance directed the clip with Skim Nasty, and received support from a few more friends as well. DJ Khaled, Young Thug, Boosie Badazz and King Louie all make cameo appearances in the high spirited visual. "Coloring Book" was released exclusively for streaming on Apple Music on May 12. In a tweet announcing the video, Chance also indicated that tickets would be coming soon as well. Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave grabbed headlines yesterday after being arrested for reckless endangerment, menacing, possession of a weapon and attempted murder stemming from the deadly Irving Plaza shooting that occurred at a T.I . headlined concert on Wednesday evening. News of the rapper 's arrest circulated after the New York Police Department released footage of a male suspect firing a gun in the concert hall's backstage area, with some reports suggesting that the suspect in the video looked like the 30-year-old MC. The shootout left three injured, including Troy Ave, and left the MC's bodyguard, Ronald McPhatter dead. While Troy Ave has been buzzing around the industry for a few years now, his recent arrest has brought him more attention than his catalog. Here's hoping he uses this experience to become a better person.

Singer Corinne Bailey Rae seizes the highest entry on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, dated June 4, arriving at No. 3 with "The Heart Speaks In Whispers", selling 14,000 copies in the week ending May 19, according to Nielsen Music. It's the third studio effort for the singer/songwriter and first since 2010, when "The Sea" debuted at No. 2 (53,000 copies). Her debut self titled album peaked at No. 3 on the chart in 2007. Rae simultaneously enters the Billboard Artist 100 chart, which measures the week's most popular across all genres, at No. 88. Fans can now stunt in the sun like Rhianna. The songstress has inked a deal with Dior to launch a line of sunglasses with futuristic frames. Inspired by the "Star Trek" character Geordi La Forge, Rhianna said in a statement that she's always been obsessed with eyewear, and upon arriving at Dior, saw the materials available and things came together. The glasses will come in six colors: silver, pink, blue, green, and red, all of which will be very expensive. A 24-karat gold plated edition will be available for $1, 950. The "Rhianna" collection will be sold exclusively at Dior stores beginning in June. Christina Aguilera's duet with a Whitney Houston hologram may have been axed, but that doesn't mean the NBC series "The Voice" has been stopped. Aguilera has found another duet partner in Arianna Grande for the season 10 finale of the series. Grande opened the set with a rousing performance of her latest single "Into You" wearing a white pants suit and surrounded by male dancers, smoke, pyro, and an elaborate set. Aguilera later joined her midway through wearing a black pants suit and her army of female dancers. Both singers belted circles around one another as they stood in a lit cube. For fans who were temped to sign up for Apple Music just to stream Chance the Rapper's latest effort "Coloring Book", but didn't, there's good news. The MC's album will be available everywhere tomorrow. Chance confirmed the album's Spotify release in a Reddit AMA on May 15 and again with a tweet on May 25, but fans are left to wonder if everywhere means CDs, and vinyls, or if he'll continue his unique approach by keeping his music to mp3s and m4as. We'll have to wait and see what transpires. Rapper Meek Mill proved he's a glutton for Twitter punishment with his latest verses on his and Fabulous' remix of Fat Joe & Remy Ma's "All The Way Up". In the remix, Meek rehashes his initial Twitter tirade against Drake's reported reliance on ghost writers, specifically his lines on the Drake and Meek collaboration "R.I.C.O." Meek even references Drake's hometown Toronto while also giving a shout out to a fellow Philadelphia native. Let's see where things go from here.

Singer Mariah Carey continues to expand her brand. Her 2015 holiday film "A Christmas Melody" was quite successful, bringing in 3.9 million viewers. So much so, that the Hallmark Channel is interesting in working with the songstress on more projects. According to Deadline.com, the cable network has signed the songstress to a two-year, three picture deal, allowing Carey the creative freedom to develop, executive produce, direct and co-star in a trio of movies, creating an original song for each. One of the films will be a Valentine's Day movie as part of the channel's "2017 Countdown to Valentine's Day" programming event. Along with those projects, Carey will also be planning a wedding to fiancé billionaire James Packer, which will be documented on the E! documentary "Mariah's World" and will reportedly air this fall. For over a month, the question has loomed regarding what would happen to the vault of Prince's unreleased music, which includes over 50 never released music videos, songs, live jam session recordings and albums as well. The legal battle with his surviving relatives ensued over who's the rightful heir to this treasure trove of property. Prince's full sister, Tyka Nelson, is at the forefront of the fight. Now, according to TMZ, two new people may be legal heirs after it was revealed that Prince's half brother, Duane Nelson Sr., had a daughter, Brianna, and granddaughter Victoria, who recently filed court documents claiming they are heirs to his fortune as well. Reportedly, both Brianna and Victoria have expressed the desire to turn Prince's Paisley Park estate into a museum much like Elvis Pressley's Graceland. They also want to release the contents from the vault and have the support of family members to do so. However, reports also say that Tyka isn't on board with the idea; she's Prince's only full blood sibling and she's been petitioning the court to give her a larger portion of control over his estate. Needless to say, this messy legal drama may prevent fans from hearing any new Prince music anytime soon. Rapper Kanye West is being sued by a Hungarian musician who claims West sampled a song he wrote without permission. Gabor Presser says West's 2013 album "Yeezus" contains a song called "New Slaves" that samples a song Presser wrote in 1969. Presser's lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court. It states that one-third of "New Slaves" features a song Presser wrote while with the band Omega. He's seeking $2.5 million. Meanwhile, the lawsuit also states that West's managers acknowledge the sampling happening when they sent Presser a $10,000 check for the work. Presser says he never cashed the check due to concerns regarding the agreement. The lawsuit adds that "Gyongyhaju Lany" is one of Hungary's most beloved pop songs. Neither West nor any of his representatives have responded publicly to the matter. Fat Joe Remy Ma's "All The Way Up" gets a plus one with fellow New Yorker Jay Z joining the two on the track. The remix debuted as a Tidal exclusive during a New York Yankees game last night. Fat Joe told Billboard magazine that he turned down a lot of big names who wanted to appear on the remix, but wanted to keep it New York. He's excited for the city. The track shows he still has it.

Singer Cee Lo Green and comedian Russell Peters are set to compete on Spike's "Lip Sync Battle". Green sports the iconic Kiss make up and heavy metal garb for his performance of the Kiss anthem "Rock And Roll All Nite". Fans can tune in on Thursday, May 26 at 10:00 p.m.ET/PT on Spike TV to watch Green display his rocker side. It will certainly be worth watching. After a great deal of controversy, Madonna's Prince tribute at the Billboard Music Awards drew praise from some, criticism from many others. Roots drummer Questlove, who gave the opening introduction to the highly anticipated performance, took to Twitter in light of the backlash from viewers to defend Madonna's performance. He reminded followers that Prince's shoes are difficult to fill, and anyone who steps up to sing any song in his catalog should be applauded. He made several valid points. It'll be interesting to see what BET has in store in terms of a tribute to the late musician. The "Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour" continues its trek across the country . Several dates have been added to accommodate fans eager to see Sean "P Diddy" Combs along with 112, Faith Evans and others. The tour will end on Oct. 8 in Oakland CA. Yesterday, singer Lalah Hathaway appeared on "The Real" to perform her Grammy award wining single "Little Ghetto Boy", a remake of her father Donny Hathaway's hit. In a surprise twist, rapper Snoop Dogg joined her on stage for a verse for a west coast remix along with saxophonist Terrace Martin. The performance was quite a memorable one indeed. The track "All Day" didn't make it on to "The Life Of Pablo", or any other album for that matter, but it still remains one of the best singles rapper Kanye West has given fans in some time. Singer Paul McCartney, a featured musician on the track, provided its melody and a whistle on the outro as well. There's more to the back story, however. During a recent interview with John Wilson for BBC Radio 4's Mastertapes, McCartney revealed that Oprah Winfrey advised him not to collaborate with West on the song due to West's lyrical choices. According to McCartney, the N word is used several times in the song, with Winfrey stating that the term shouldn't be used by Blacks either. As for his relationship with West, McCartney said the two love each other adding that West inspires him with his ideas. If the first few months of 2016 haven't proven anything else, they've proven that not much has changed from the mid-nineties to the present day. Rapper Jay Z is close to the take over he spoke of a few years ago. It'll be interesting to see what transpires later in the year.

Game & Fish Commission Discusses Service Cuts
GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming Game and Fish Department officials say entire programs may be in jeopardy in 2015 because of a lack of funding.
Game and Fish Commissioner Aaron Clark says the state Game and Fish Commission and department officials want to hear public comment when considering those decisions.
Department officials had asked the Legislature for fee increases to continue current services, but their request was denied.
On Wednesday, the Game and Fish Commission gave preliminary approval to about $7 million worth of cuts to the agency's 2014 budget.
Clark tells the Associated Press that most of the 2014 cuts are internal and the public shouldn't notice them.
The commission will take a final vote on the 2014 budget at its July meeting while it continues working on proposed 2015 cuts.

Full-Year Revenues Dip for 'Big Three' Nets
Due to the lack of Olympic Games money last year, revenues for ABC, CBS and NBC were down 1% for the full year 2003 to $10.6 billion, according to numbers compiled by Ernst & Young and released by the Broadcast Cable Financial Management Association.
The sports category was down 31%, or $787 million, which was just slightly more than NBC garnered from the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.
All other key dayparts were up, including prime time, up 8% for the year to $5.9 billion. Late night was up 17% to $642 million and early morning was up 13% to $704 million. The three evening newscasts posted a gain of 6% to $520 million.

Meanwhile, "Doctors" is expected to start airing after "Jackpot" starring Jang Geun Suk, Yeo Jin Goo, and Im Ji Yeon ends its run in mid-June.

Black Series Review: Qi'Ra (Corellia) | Solo: A Star Wars Story
Emilia Clarke's screen siren arrives to enhance your Black Series collection.
Qi'Ra is the fourth figure from Solo: A Star Wars Story to be released in the Black Series action figure range after Han Solo, Lando Calrissian and the Imperial Range Trooper. Being the first figure of this character, Hasbro decided to focus on her outfit from Corellia rather than her main outfit from the movie.
This outfit is fine but Qi'Ra's main outfit felt more classy and would have made more sense to be released first. However, this figure, with its Corellia attire has a cool smuggler/bandit feel to it. There is dirt on the boots and on the skirt. The skirt is longer at the front than at the back. The mix of colors – red, black, gray and the white of the fur is really cool. For the fur, they used plastic and gave it a "fur effect" with the way they moulded it. Hasbro definitely paid attention to the finer the details of the character and even included her bracelets. It's a screen accurate outfit here!
The Figure:
In terms of likeness, it's well done. And, even more than that it genuinely looks like Emilia Clarke. They have produced a great sculpture for this figure. I feel like Hasbro has also improved the way they manufacture hair for their figures, especially with this new wave. It's better detailed, you can see it in the way the plastic is shaped. And Considering how her hair is styled, for Qi'Ra they most likely used a separate piece of plastic from the head for the hair. So it doesn't feel like it's been directly sculpted on it.
Up Close:
Just like Han and Lando, Qi'Ra has the new and improved neck articulation. She has 18 points of articulation. However, the long plastic skirt doesn't allow you to move the legs very much. She also only has one accessory – her blaster. This blaster pistol can be opened but I'm not sure why. We'll probably have a better understanding of why Hasbro decided to give it this function once the film is released. There's no holster to put the blaster in on this outfit, unlike Qi'Ra's main outfit. Another accessory I would have loved to have seen included with this figure would have been Han's golden dice. It's a missed opportunity here. Especially since we have seen an abundance of promotional material of Qi'Ra wearing this outfit and holding the dice.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, Qi'Ra is an impressive figure and an amazing addition to the Solo: A Star Wars Story range!

I was given extra virgin olive oil as a gift from Italy (picture below), and I wanted to see if that type of olive oil is treated like fruits and vegetables, or does it needs to have certification on the label.

I was given extra virgin olive oil as a gift from Italy (picture below), and I wanted to see if that type of olive oil is treated like fruits and vegetables, or does it needs to have certification on the label.
See this interesting article by Rabbi Yirmeyahu Kaganoff about the production of olive oil. He discusses the issues of fraud in the market and notes that different kashrut organizations have different views on the matter. He quotes the OU as not requiring certification on extra virgin olive oil only (virgin olive oil still needs). He also quotes the Eida Charedis which requires a mashgiach nichnas veyotzei for extra virgin olive oil during the year, and a masgiach temidi for pesach. CYLOR.
The OK has an article (archived link) on olive oil production and kashrut concerns.
In the article they explain the differences between the different levels of olive oil (i.e Extra Virgin, Virgin, Fino, olive oil, and light olive oil), both in processing and in the nature of oil itself.
The article say that:
The article concludes:
In conclusion, where olive oil is concerned, extra virgin oil that is packed at the source presents little or no problems for kashrus. However, any other form of olive oil must have a reliable hechsher. All of the above is relevant for other vegetable oils as well. However, other oils are generally not sold in pure form except for some cold-pressed oils, in which the same guidelines as those for extra virgin olive oil would apply.
As an example, I once had a bottle of Vigo Imported Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Cold Pressed. The label says that it is a Product of Spain, Argentina, and Tunisia.
I contacted the company and asked them if that meant that the olives are pressed in those countries, and then the olive oil is transported to another location, where it is blended and bottled, or if it mean that the oil is pressed and bottled on site, but sometimes it may come from Spain, Argentina, or Tunisia?
They told me that the olives are pressed in those countries and then shipped to them where they blend them and then package the oil.
According to the article from the OK, this Extra Virgin Olive Oil would not be acceptable without a Hechsher.
Star-K's article explains its statement that
oil refineries still require kosher certification.
London Beth Din lists several unsupervised approved olive oils.
Olive oil fraud is rampant. Just because something claims to be virgin olive oil, that doesn't mean that it is. Therefore, all other possible issues aside, I would not automatically assume that it is kosher. [A quick test to help determine if you have genuine olive oil is that olive oil should harden in the fridge. If it doesn't, you know that it's not olive oil. The converse isn't true, since even if it hardens it can still be adulterated olive oil.]
Since there are a variety of opinions out there, I thought it would be worth including the metaphoric law of the land: the Italy Kosher Union. On their Kosher Food list, they write the following:
Extra virgin olive oil is generally allowed without control
In general, all extra-virgin olive oil are permitted.
Other oils like soybeans, corn, sunflower generally do not pose problem even if non certified.
If the major koshering organization of Italy states that it can be permitted and doesn't require certification...well, that sounds pretty reliable, no?
The IKU's list of kosher foods was compiled by the Chief Rabbi of Rome, R. Shmuel Riccardo Di Segni. The organization is supervised by R. Yitzhak Belinow (rabbi of the Beth HaLevy synagogue in Milan). The IKU lists the other authorities outside Italy that it recognizes (found here), which include OU, Star K, Badatz, and the Israeli Rabbinate. The chief of IKU, Meyer Piha, produced the Italy Jewish Guide, an authoritative collection of every kosher food and certified restaurant in the country. The book was approved by all the major Italian rabbis (including Chief Rabbi of Milan R. Arbib and R. Di Segni) as well as Chief Rabbi of Israel R. Yonah Metzger.
Based on the following information, I trust the organization as a reputable guide to the Italian olive oil industry.

Save the Human Race at Dave & Buster's in Terminator: Guardian of Fate
It's movie tie-in time again. Earlier this week VRFocus reported on Sony Pictures Virtual Reality (SPVR) and The VOID revealing Jumanji: Reverse the Curse to coincide with the theatrical release of Jumanji: The Next Level. Today, it's the turn of the Terminator franchise, with Terminator: Guardian of Fate now available at multiple Dave & Buster's locations.
The entertainment venue has once again teamed up with virtual reality (VR) specialist VRstudios to bring this action-packed interactive experience to fans across North America. Created in collaboration with Strange Reptile – the same studio which helped build Dave & Buster's other VR offerings Star Trek: Dark Remnant and Men in Black: Galactic Getaway – thrusts you into a treacherous rescue mission alongside Sarah Connor (still voiced by Linda Hamilton).
Once again a Terminator has arrived to annihilate a target who will prove invaluable to the future of the Resistance, so it's up to you, Connor and her team to stop it at all costs. You'll need to outrun and outwit the mechanical assassin to ensure the target and her work escape safely. Players are assigned random avatars and have access to a variety of weapons through a series of upgrades within the videogame.
While it is linked to the recently released Terminator: Dark Fate movie, the VR experience has been designed to keep guests coming back for more. Another chapter will be released soon adding multiple endings, subtle differences in gameplay and other surprises.
"We have really created something very special with Terminator: Guardian of Fate. This is an all-out adrenaline-fueled interactive experience that is a roller coaster of intensity," said Chanel Summers, VRstudios' Vice President of Creative Development. "The Terminator is the ultimate movie monster and just when players think they have destroyed it, it comes back! The action is so relentless that you will barely have time to catch your breath!"
Terminator: Guardian of Fate takes around 5 minutes with pricing varying between $5 USD and $7 depending on the location, of which 130 will have the VR experience. If you happen to live in the UK then check out Godzilla VR in London. As Dave & Buster's continues to invest in new VR content, VRFocus will let you know.

Illinois Hospital Fees To Pay For Error Reports
A new annual licensing fee for hospitals that's taking effect in Illinois will finally fund a system for reporting medical errors that was established by state law back in 2005.
Crain's Chicago Business reports the new fee will raise about $1.7 million annually. The fee was part of legislation signed by Gov. Pat Quinn last week.
The fee of $55 per hospital bed will fund a system for hospitals to report mistakes such as performing surgery on the wrong body part. The idea is to improve patient safety by analyzing how errors occur.
A portion of the money collected will go toward new safety measures and addressing patient complaints. Small rural hospitals are exempt from the fees, as are safety-net hospitals that treat mostly poor patients.

|This lamp was produced to assist in the marketing of the Sylvania Uniqtronic electronic ballast, created by Clalight of Israel in 1998. Almost from the beginning, Sylvania formed a partnership with Clalight to market these ballasts in the UK, as well as employing them in SLI luminaires.
A key feature of the Uniqtronic ballast is that while it drives the discharge itself at constant current, the cathodes are heated at constant voltage. Other ballasts use constant current for both. The Uniqtronic development is important for prolonging emitter life. As emitter and tungsten are evaporated over life, cathode weight decreases and resistance increases. Thus driving them at constant current causes them to be heated hotter and hotter as life proceeds, accelerating the emitter loss process and shortening the life. Driving at constant voltage however keeps the temperature much more constant as they age, and is the reason why the Uniqtronic ballast delivers much longer lamp life.
Another advantage of the Uniqtronic ballast is its ability to start the lamp even if one or both electrodes have physically broken. Other preheat ballasts are unable to start a lamp with a broken electrode. This lamp was made up with a specially broken electrode in order to show that the ballast can still strike the discharge (see photo).
Incidentally the first lamps for this test were made with no phosphor coating at all. However it was found that these were difficult to start on conventional magnetic gear, owing to the fact that the phosphor has some gettering effect and improves the lamp atmosphere. That is why this lamp was made only with clear ends around the cathodes.
