Informacije iz Uredbe o postojećim tvarima (ESR)
Informacije iz Uredbe o postojećim tvarima (ESR)
Before REACH entered into force, chemicals were regulated by a number of different regulations and directives. The Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 -- also known as the Existing Substances Regulation (ESR) -- was one of these. It introduced a comprehensive framework for the evaluation and control of "existing substances" (substances on the market before 1982).
The ESR stated that the Commission, in consultation with the Member States, would regularly draw up lists of priority substances which require immediate attention because of their potential effects to human health or the environment. Between 1994 and 2007 (the entry into force of REACH), four such priority lists were published, with a total of 141 substances.
The table gives a complete overview on the risk assessments performed by the Member States for each of the 141 substances listed in the four priority lists.

THE LEADING PROVIDER OF BOTOX® IN Englewood
Botox and Dermal Fillers in Englewood NJ
The forehead, brow, and crow's feet are areas of the face that can give away your age or even make you look older than you are. After all, everybody has stress, difficult days and numerous concerns, and sometimes these can cause worry lines to appear on your face. But there is no reason why you shouldn't look your best at all times – during work, during play, raising your children, enjoying romantic evenings, keeping pace with your younger co-workers, engaging in sports, and even enjoying your grandchildren. With BOTOX Cosmetic®, you can realize all of these dreams.
What can BOTOX Cosmetic do for me?
BOTOX Cosmetic ensures that looking your best means not relying on foundations that require constant reapplication or your bangs to cover those unsightly forehead wrinkles. It also means not subjecting yourself to unnecessary cosmetic surgery and the subsequent recuperation period. BOTOX Cosmetic is a simple prescription medicine that is injected into the muscles of the forehead, crow's feet, and other facial areas. Its effects include improvement of wrinkles of the forehead, between the brows, crow's feet, and bunny lines. In some patients, it may also provide a lift to the brows, eyelids, and pick up the corners of the droopy sides of the mouth. BOTOX Cosmetic is appropriate for individuals between the ages of 18 and 65, and its effects are temporary initially but have shown degrees of permanence after sequential treatments space 3 months apart.
How does BOTOX work?
The way BOTOX Cosmetic works is simple. The BOTOX molecule blocks nerve impulses to the muscles that have been injected, thereby reducing the activity of those muscles. It is this muscle activity in the face that causes wrinkles, so by reducing this activity, the face is given a younger, lifted, more carefree appearance. The best thing about BOTOX is that its results are very real and noticeable, yet no recovery time is needed. You get your BOTOX injection, and as soon as you have emerged from our office, you are ready to go about your day.
Around 11.8 million procedures involving BOTOX cosmetic have been performed in the United States since the procedure was first popularized in 2002. Surveys have shown a 97% satisfaction rate with the results of the procedure as women reported a more youthful, rested appearance, innumerable complements on their looks, and more confidence in front of cameras, strangers, and in social situations. People will notice, but they won't quite know exactly what you did because the results are natural.
Why should I get BOTOX from the Edgewater and Englewood Medspa?
When you receive your BOTOX injection from Dr. T.G. Khan, the expert injector at Edgewater and Englewood Cosmetic & Laser Centers, you can rest assured that you are in good hands. Dr. T.G. Khan, the facility's medical director, is a board-certified physician and surgeon as well as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and has over 12 years in administering cosmetic injection and laser treatments.

The preservationists of Timbuktu's centuries-old artifacts have been holding their breath for weeks, waiting for the moment when the French military would seize back Mali's ancient northern capital from the Islamic militants who have occupied it for 10 months. At stake were the city's most precious treasures: tens of thousands of centuries-old, priceless calligraphed manuscripts, whose fate under the jihadists' rule was deeply uncertain.
On Monday, that moment finally came — and by nightfall, the state of Timbuktu's treasures was as confused as it had been before.
(MORE: Why Islamists Want to Destroy Timbuktu's Treasures)
When Malian and French soldiers rolled into town in armored vehicles early Monday, they found what the preservationists had most dreaded: Timbuktu's new Ahmed Baba Institute, an expensive adobe construction opened in 2010 — the city's splashiest international project in years — had been torched by militants of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb last Thursday as they prepared to flee the French advance. From Bamako, Timbuktu's Mayor Hallé Ousmane Cissé, who had fled his city nearly four weeks ago, told journalists that the militants had burned the center's collection of about 40,000 ancient manuscripts, some of the 300,000 or so historic documents stashed in libraries in Timbuktu and the villages around it, mostly as family heirlooms. "The manuscripts were a part not only of Mali's heritage but the world's heritage," Cissé told the Guardian. "By destroying them, they threaten the world. We have to kill all of the rebels in the north." Reporting from inside the Timbuktu building itself, Sky News correspondent Alex Crawford told viewers that the jihadists had destroyed the center's contents. Meanwhile, Cissé was quoted on the network's website as saying, "They torched all the important ancient manuscripts."
That is not so, according to those who've worked for months to keep the documents safe.
In interviews with TIME on Monday, preservationists said that in a large-scale rescue operation early last year, shortly before the militants seized control of Timbuktu, thousands of manuscripts were hauled out of the Ahmed Baba Institute to a safe house elsewhere. Realizing that the documents might be prime targets for pillaging or vindictive attacks from Islamic extremists, staff left behind just a small portion of them, perhaps out of haste, but also to conceal the fact that the center had been deliberately emptied. "The documents which had been there are safe, they were not burned," said Mahmoud Zouber, Mali's presidential aide on Islamic affairs, a title he retains despite the overthrow of the former President, his boss, in a military coup a year ago; preserving Timbuktu's manuscripts was a key project of his office. By phone from Bamako on Monday night, Zouber told TIME, "They were put in a very safe place. I can guarantee you. The manuscripts are in total security."
In a second interview from Bamako, a preservationist who did not want to be named confirmed that the center's collection had been hidden out of reach from the militants. Neither of those interviewed wanted the location of the manuscripts named in print, for fear that remnants of the al-Qaeda occupiers might return to destroy them.
(MORE: The history of Timbuktu, an Ancient Cultural Crossroads)
That was confirmed too by Shamil Jeppie, director of the Timbuktu Manuscripts Project at the University of Cape Town, who told TIME on Monday night that "there were a few items in the Ahmed Baba library, but the rest were kept away." The center, financed by the South African government as a favored project by then President Thabo Mbeki, who championed reviving Africa's historical culture, housed state-of-the-art equipment to preserve and photograph hundreds of thousands of pages, some of which had gold illumination, astrological charts and sophisticated mathematical formulas. Jeppie said he had been enraged by the television footage on Monday of the building trashed, and blamed in part Mali's government, which he said had done little to ensure the center's security. "It is really sad and disturbing," he said.
When TIME reached Timbuktu's Mayor Cissé in Bamako late Monday night, he tempered the remarks he had made to journalists earlier in the day, conceding in an interview that, indeed, residents had worked to rescue the center's manuscripts before al-Qaeda occupied the city last March. Still, he said that while many of the manuscripts had been saved, "they did not move all the manuscripts." He said he had fled earlier this month after living through months of the Islamists' rule, a situation he described as a "true catastrophe" and "very, very hard." He said he expects to fly back home by the weekend on a French military jet. By then, perhaps, the state of Timbuktu's astonishing historic libraries might be clearer.

One inch equals 2.54 centimeters, to convert 180.87 inches to cm we have to multiply the amount of inches by 2.54 to obtain the width, height or length in centimeters. 180.87 inches is equal to 180.87 inches x 2.54 = 459.4098 cm. The result is the following:
180.87 inches = 459.4098 cm
An inch (symbol: in) is a unit of length. It is defined as 1⁄12 of a foot, also is 1⁄36 of a yard. Though traditional standards for the exact length of an inch have varied, it is equal to exactly 25.4 mm. The inch is a popularly used customary unit of length in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
The centimeter (symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system. It is also the base unit in the centimeter-gram-second system of units. The centimeter practical unit of length for many everyday measurements. A centimeter is equal to 0.01 (or 1E-2) meter.
To calculate a inch value to the corresponding value in centimeters, just multiply the quantity in inches by 2.54 (the conversion factor).
centimeters = inches * 2.54
The factor 2.54 is the result from the division 1 / 0.393701 (centimeter definition). Therefore, another way would be:
centimeters = inches / 0.393701

Modern and Contemporary Art
Modern and contemporary art are two growing areas of the MHCAM collection. We keep them categorically joined in the belief that a clear delineation is ultimately misleading. Modern art refers to work made from the later part of the 19th century and into the 20th century, a period of rapid population growth, industrialization, and critical changes to the basic fabric of work, family, and society. The Museum's holdings from this era are strongest in European and American art, including paintings by Arthur Dove, Yves Tanguy, Kay Sage, Max Ernst, and Dorothea Tanning, and sculptures by Isamu Noguchi, Arnoldo Pomodoro, Barbara Hepworth, Kenneth Snelson, and Judy Pfaff. Contemporary art is global art. Artists from every nation participate in complex dialogues about art, identity, and culture, and the MHCAM is committed to presenting this diversity of perspectives through its active collecting of global contemporary art. This collection reflects the high percentage of international citizens in the College's student population.

How to Calm an Anxious Pet
Does your pet cower in fear during thunderstorms or hate to be alone? Although it doesn't seem fair, anxiety isn't just a human problem but can affect animals too. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to decrease your pet's anxiety.
Anxiety Triggers
Identifying your pet's triggers can help you create a strategy to calm your dog, cat or rabbit. Triggers vary from animal to animal and may include:
- Loud Sounds: Vacuum cleaners, fireworks, thunder, and other sounds can be particularly frightening to some pets.
- New People or Animals: Exposure to unfamiliar animals and people may increase anxiety symptoms in some pets.
- Change in Routine: Moving, bringing a new person or pet into your household, or even changing your work schedule may be the catalyst for your pet's anxiety symptoms.
- Visits to the Veterinarian: Some pets are overwhelmed by the unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells at the veterinary office or feel threatened by the other animals in the waiting area.
- Certain Surfaces: Does your pet resist walking on marble, hardwood, laminate or types of smooth flooring? He or she may be afraid of falling or may have been scolded after walking on a particular type of floor in the past.
- Separation: Separation anxiety is particularly common among pets, affecting 14 percent of dogs, according to the American Kennel Club.
- Aging: Pets that have cognitive dysfunction syndrome, a condition similar to dementia in people, may develop anxiety.
Signs of Anxiety in Pets
Anxious pets may lash out if they're afraid of a person, animal or object. Your pet may express fear by growling, barking, hissing, biting or scratching.
Just like people, animals can lose control of their bowels or bladder if they're extremely anxious or fearful. If you've ever returned home and discovered that your housetrained dog or cat had an accident, separation anxiety may be to blame. Anxious pets can also be destructive. Social media is full of videos and photographs of mangled couch cushions, gouged doors, and overturned plants.
Anxiety can trigger frequent barking, howling, meowing, or drooling. Cats or rabbits may groom themselves excessively, causing bald or irritated spots on their skin.
How to Reduce Anxiety
These tips may help your pet feel more secure and less fearful:
- Create a Safe Space: Place your pet in a quiet room when you're vacuuming, hosting a noisy party, or meeting your best friend's new Great Dane.
- Try Pheromones: Pheromones are natural or synthetic chemicals that can calm stressed or anxious pets. Pet stores and online shopping sites sell pheromone sprays, diffusers, wipes, and collars.
- Avoid Routine Changes if Possible: Your work schedule may change, but that doesn't necessarily mean that your pet's routine must be altered. Ask another family member or roommate to feed, walk or play with your pet at the usual times. If you're going out of town, your anxious pet may be happier staying at home with a pet sitter rather than spending the time in a boarding kennel.
- Give Your Pet a Piece of Your Clothing: Decrease separation anxiety by giving your pet clothing that contains your scent.
- Buy a Calming Vest: Calming vests are a type of wrap-around jacket that calms pets by applying constant pressure to their bodies. Similar to weighted blankets for humans, calming vests help dogs and cats cope with loud noises and may also help with general anxiety.
- Make Time for Exercise: After a vigorous game of fetch or chase the laser pointer light, your pet may feel much calmer. Daily exercise is beneficial for all pets but is particularly important if your pet suffers from anxiety.
- Gradually Desensitize Your Pet to the Anxiety Trigger: Pets may become less fearful if they're gradually exposed to anxiety triggers. If your pet is afraid to walk on hardwood or laminate floors, take one or two steps into the room and offer a treat. When the fear of loud noises is the problem, play a recording of thunder or fireworks for a few seconds, then offer a treat. Discontinue this approach if your pet doesn't respond well or becomes increasingly agitated.
- Talk to Your Pet's Veterinarian: If these suggestions don't relieve your pet's anxiety, it's a good idea to consult the veterinarian. Your pet's doctor can offer suggestions, prescribe anti-anxiety medication, if needed, or make a referral to a behavioral specialist. Your pet will also receive a thorough examination to make sure that anxiety isn't related to a health condition or disease.

After traveling for more than two years and some 1 billion miles, NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter is back where it started. Almost. At 3:21 p.m. ET Wednesday, the Juno space probe will be 347 miles away from Earth, just above the southern tip of Africa.
(As an aside, at around 11:30 a.m. ET, it was more than 90,000 miles away.)
It's not that Juno got homesick — the return to Earth was a necessity. To send it on a direct path to Jupiter would have required a more powerful rocket than the United Launch Alliance Atlas V-551. But that was the rocket that was available, so mission managers created a trajectory that uses Earth's gravity as a kind of slingshot, adding the oomph needed to set the spacecraft on course to its destination.
The Messenger spacecraft took a similarly circuitous route to reach Mercury's orbit, a journey that took nearly eight years. Check out this video of Messenger's path.
So will Juno be visible to people on Earth? According to the website Heavens-Above.com:
"If you know where to look and live in the right part of the world, you will have a chance to see it through binoculars or a telescope. Lucky observers who live in the extreme south-west of Africa (e.g. Cape Town) could even see it with the naked eye just before it enters the Earth's shadow."
Juno's primary mission is to measure the gravity and magnetic fields of the gas giant. The data should help scientists determine whether the planet has a solid core. It will be the first mission to fly low over Jupiter's poles. Actually, Juno will fly just below the planet's thin rings and just above the cloud tops.
But while it's still nearby, ham radio operators around the world have been invited to try a little experiment. Using Morse code, hams will send the message "hi" at frequencies in the 10 meter amateur band. The message will be sent very, very slowly. Each dot in the dot-and-dash code is supposed to last 30 seconds, so it will take 10 minutes to send the word "hi" once.
Why this little experiment? Well, largely it's to engage the public in a NASA mission. There is a scientific point, though. It will give Juno mission managers a chance to test out instruments designed to measure plasma and radio waves. A big goal of the Juno mission is to develop a better understanding of the auroras at Jupiter's poles.
It will take nearly three years for Juno to reach Jupiter once it leaves Earth. The expected arrival date is July 4, 2016.

Tips for Finding a Rental
Flexibility and speed are key to finding a rental property in the greater Ann Arbor area.
Tips for Finding a Rental in the Fast-Paced Washtenaw County Market
Flexibility and speed are key to finding a rental property in the greater Ann Arbor area. A nice leisurely search is a thing of the past. However, preparation, timing and the assistance of a Reinhart rental professional will get you to the finish line. Here are some considerations that will have significant bearing on when you should start looking, where you can live and how much you will need to spend to get what you want.
- How soon do you need to move in?
- How many bedrooms would you like?
- How many baths?
- Can you be flexible about location?
If you are willing to expand your search area you may have more options. Popular Ann Arbor neighborhoods, such as Kerrytown and the Old West Side are a rare find.
- Pets?
Many rentals do not allow pets. If pets are welcome, they are usually limited in the number , size and breed. Make sure you disclose any pets you have before showing appointments are requested.
- How is your credit?
Resolve any outstanding issues now because you can assume it will be checked by the landlord or leasing company.
- Length of lease?
One year leases are standard for the area. Short-term leases are difficult to find but may be available in our represented apartment communities. We also have partnered with Extended Stay hotels in the area and can even pass along our discounted special rates.
- Special needs?
If you can't live without a dishwasher, in-home laundry, covered parking, a particular floor level, outdoor space or something else, please be sure to let us know so we can tailor our search for you.
- Scheduling showings.
Occupied single-family homes and condos typically require 24-48 hours notice to see because the current tenants have to approve the showing. Many apartment communities have model units that can be shown during leasing office hours.
Rental turnover is a way of life in the transient University towns of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. The rental professionals at Reinhart know the market and are here to help you navigate the challenges.

During Mark Rylance's time as Artistic Director of the Globe, he and his creative team established Original Practice. These productions recreate or replicate as many performance practices of Shakespeare's company who occupied the original Globe Theatres.
One of these was Twelfth Night, originally staged in 2002 and revived in 2012. This production featured an all male cast, as it was the practice for male actors to play female characters in the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods.
In this resource, you will find interviews with members of the cast about gender, videos about costume and clothing, as well as other information on these productions.
To coincide with the 2012 production of Twelfth Night, Dr Farah Karim-Cooper wrote the following introduction on what to expect from an Original Practices production and the methods possible in the Globe around 1601.
When Mark Rylance was the Artistic Director at Shakespeare's Globe, he and his artistic team pioneered a visually and aurally stunning artistic movement which has been termed 'original practices'. But what is 'original practices', you may ask? The idea behind this type of production (as Mark Rylance, Jenny Tiramani, Claire van Kampen and Tim Carroll outline in Shakespeare's Globe: A Theatrical Experiment published in 2008) is to recreate or replicate as many performance practices of Shakespeare's company who occupied the original Globe.
What did these experiments consist of? To quote Rylance, three important principles were always in mind: research, materials and craft. The Globe's artistic team from 1997– 2005 attempted to put on at least one 'original practices' production a season, the rest were designed and performed with a 'free hand' as Rylance puts it. The reason for doing 'original practices' was simple: experimentation. Once the most accurate reconstruction of the Globe Theatre had been built, it was important to experiment with it and to experiment boldly. The same principles that were applied to the reconstruction of the Globe, in terms of 'authenticity' were also applied to 'original practices', as Jenny Tiramani informs us:
'Materials, construction, shape, iconography and context: these simple principles – principles directly inspired by the building of the theatre itself—eventually offered a framework within which we could work on the costumes, properties and hangings for what became known as our 'original practices' productions' (Shakespeare's Globe: A Theatrical Experiment, p. 62).
Unprecedented was the painstaking research that went into each production to re-create the clothing the actors might have worn, the music that audiences might have heard in the space and the ways actors might have engaged with audiences. What was really fascinating about these productions was to see how the clothes related to the architecture and the painted iconography of the tiring house facade or scenic frons; and to hear original instruments in a polygonal theatre built entirely of oak, lime plaster and thatch. One of the results of this experiment in performance was a re-interpretation of the visual and acoustic worlds of early modern England. Audiences were used to seeing Hollywood versions of this period that played it fairly fast and loose with historical detail and most theatre productions that were designed with the Renaissance in mind, had not typically been designed with as much historical accuracy as these early Globe productions.
Perhaps the most controversial element of a complete 'original practices' production (as some OP productions were only OP with regard to clothing or music and some of these consisted of mixed-gender casts) was the choice to cast only male actors. In an industry where female parts are difficult to come by, this seemed, in some views, to be a huge step backwards. But all-male casting was of course an original theatre practice in Shakespeare's time, as women were not permitted to perform on the commercial stages in London, at least not until the Restoration in 1660.
From a historical point of view, it seemed perfectly reasonable for Rylance and his team to make this choice. To offset any negative response, and perhaps fuelled by his own passion for theatrical experimentation, Rylance offered up a couple of seasons in which there would be all-female casts. I am so glad he did, but not just because it offset negative reactions, but because as a woman and a feminist, it allowed me to see more clearly the complexities of the sexual politics of the plays (e.g. Much Ado About Nothing, 2004, and The Taming of the Shrew, 2003). It was an extraordinary experiment in itself. Since then, many scholars and students have written about these productions as bold, promoting feminist readings of Shakespeare, and incredibly innovative.
Not every original practice could be tested: no intervals, no directors, three day rehearsals, working with parts/ cue scripts. But these are all experiments that are indeed happening elsewhere in England, Europe and North America (The American Shakespeare Center, Shakespeare and the Queens Men Project, to name only two). What Rylance did was to respond to the great building Sam Wanamaker had entrusted him with, and this required him and the theatre practitioners who worked with Rylance to deliver Shakespearean performance in a radically different way. The chief result was the emergence of a new kind of 'original' Shakespeare, a Shakespeare that was simultaneously new and old—like the great Globe itself.

Dear Friends and music lovers. Welcome to the musical life section. I'd like to remind you that frequently, we record a Cd or a DVD and it appears the following year on the market. Also, I am often working on several projects at different stages of completion. They don't always move in a linear manner and do tend to overlap each other, so I hope you won't find this new format confusing: to the contrary we hope it's simpler and perhaps more entertaining. Thanks for visiting! John McLaughlin
2016-2017 - 4th Dimension US Farewell Tour
No Recordings were made in 2016, but we had a marvelous tour of Australasia which included the major cities in Australia, the island of Bali, Bangkok , Japan, South Corea and finally India. I also had the great pleasure to perform at the White House for the International Jazz Day on 30th of April.
2017 began with a Spring tour of Northern Europe which included Paris, Budapest, Prague, Berlin where we were part of the performances celebrating the opening of the Akademia which is directed by one of my true inspirations in music and life, Daniel Barenboim. We eventually ended the tour in London at one of the world's greatest clubs, Ronnie Scott's. I'd asked my agent to book us specifically in Ronnie's, since Ronnie himself was instrumental in my obtaining a visa to come to the US in January 1969, and it was a kind of homage/thank you to his memory. During the two nights we played there we recorded the performances which were released on the last CD of the 4D, "Live at Ronnie Scott's" which came out earlier this year.
In June, to my great surprise, the Berklee College awarded me with an Honorary Doctorate in music. I went to Valencia to receive the award, and had the great pleasure of performing with some of the students at the Berklee College Europe. The level of playing was astonishing, and to my even greater surprise, I found students from all over the world including musicians from India.
This musical year ended in a marvelous tour of the US with the 4D band and the band of Jimmy Herring known as the Invisible Whip. It was my personal farewell tour of the US, and to bring everything full circle, there was a third set every night during which Jimmy and his band and the 4D brought to life a program from the music of The Mahavishnu Orchestras 1 and 2.
It was a thrill for me to have the musicians from both bands on stage playing this music. And as important, there was a presence of the spirit on stage which gave the music a passion and depth so necessary to bring this music to life.
2013-2015 - 4th Dimension
It was just before the beginning of the final Shakti tour which began in October-November 2013.
Much has happened since that time, and not all of it pleasant. I'd spoken to Paco de Lucia in late January of 2014 about a recording we were planning, just a few days before he left for Latin America, and we lost him forever February 25th…
Shortly after this I began a project with singer Shankar Mahadevan which we will eventually release as a CD. I am personally thrilled about this project which is a completely different « fusion » for want of a better word, of the magic of Shankar's voice with orchestra and guitar.
The 4th Dimension (4D) toured the East coast of the U.S. in June 2014 during which we recorded at the Berklee Performance center in Boston, and came out with « The Boston Record » a few months later.
Shortly after this I had an opportunity to record with one of my most favorite musicians, Gonzalo Rubalcaba. Gonzalo has been making marvelous music for many, many years, and is a great source of inspiration.
On September 19th we lost another brother musician in U. Mandolin Shrinivas, and Shakti took a terrible blow with the loss which we have still not recovered from.
The 4th Dimension toured Europe in the fall of 2014, it was a marvelous experience. I had already began writing music for the album « Black Light » which is being prepared for release just now.
In the meantime I was invited to record a track with drummer Cindy Blackman and my old comrade, bassist Matt Garrison. I've known Cindy for years, and we've jammed together a couple of times, but this was the first time we got to record, she's amazing, and those two together are dynamite!
4D will begin a tour of Australia and Asia starting in October this year, so I'm busy preparing programs that include new pieces from Black Light, and I can't wait to start playing with the gentlemen!
2012 - Remember Shakti - 4th Dimension
This year's events began with my 70th birthday which was produced and directed by one of my oldest and dearest friends, Zakir Hussain. It was held in Mumbai India on January 4th and I'll never forget it. He put on a show to end all shows with dancers, singers, a Qawwali group that was just outstanding, and most important of all, surrounded by my family and friends from all over the world. A month later, I came back to make a tour of India by the group Shakti. Every couple of years or so, Shakti tours India and it's always a thrill. On St. Valentine's day February 14th we played a charity concert in Ramallah for Al-Mada who are doing music therapy with traumatized children.
In June the 4th Dimension flew to Ukraine to headline a great Festival held in Lviv.
A month later Shakti got back together for a short tour of Russia. We appeared in different festivals in Krasnoyarsk, one of the largest cities in Siberia, in Perm which is in the Urals, and Moscow. It was very interesting to be able to visit these places that years ago were hidden behind the 'iron curtain'. The people of Russia are so friendly.
The 4th Dimension will return to Russia this fall during its European tour which begins in France late October and finishes at the end of November. This is just in time for tabla maestro Zakir Hussain to join me for a charity performance in Prague on November 28th.
The new recording by the 4th Dimension, is being released as I write, and I am very happy with this recording. The group has never sounded better

2006-2011 - 4th Dimension - India
In 2004 I had received an invitation from a French cultural association to play a couple of concerts in La Reunion, a tropical island off the coast of Africa near Madagascar. I'd been having thoughts about a quartet prior to this invitation, and since they gave me carte blanche, I decided to form a quartet with Gary Husband, drummer Mark Mondesir and his brother Michael on bass. The experience was exhilarating, and I knew I had to find a way to keep working in this direction. However, I had begun writing new music that was subsequently released on the album 'Industrial Zen' which was a multi-artist recording. Gary Husband and Mark Mondesir appeared on several pieces. It was after the release of this Cd that the group 'The 4th Dimension' emerged as a 'real' band, and started touring. Since then, we recorded 'to the One' and released a live DVD from a concert in Belgrade.
In the autumn of 2011, we toured Europe with drummer Ranjit Barot who had replaced Mark Mondesir, and in December of 2011, the band went into the studio to record 'Now Here This'. Ranjit is an outstanding drummer who accompanied me on the recording 'Floating Point' which was recorded in 2007. This was the year I spent 6 months in Chennai, India and it was a very creative time. We not only recorded Floating Point, but also filmed the entire process of making the recording. It was released later under the title, 'Meeting of the Minds'. In addition, an educational DVD was made with percussionist and Shakti member, Selvaganesh Vinayakram. The DVD was subsequently released under the title 'The Gateway to Rhythm'. It shows the way to mastering rhythm through the Indian system called Konokol. Now while this system was created in India, the ramifications are universal and can be applied in any form of rhythmic music.

2003-2005 - Orchestral - Educational Projects
In 2003 I began re-writing a piece for guitar and chamber orchestra that began life under the name 'Europa'. I gave it this name primarily because the principal influences behind this piece are European in nature. However, by the third movement, the piece has crossed the Atlantic ocean and comes under the influence of the great music of the 20th century, jazz. I wanted to re-orchestrate for a full symphony, and in addition add 4 more soloists.
Fortunately I had the expertise of one of my oldest students, Yan Maresz, who is now one of the leading composers in the world of contemporary music, and while I wrote the music, the orchestrations are his. The soloists are all outstanding musicians: Violinist Viktoria Mullova, clarinetist Paul Meyer, cellist Matt Heimovitz and guitarist Philippe Loli. The piece was renamed 'Thieves & Poets' and finally came out under that name with a great Italian orchestra, Pomeriggi Musicali di Milano under the direction of Renato Rivolta.
However, the piece with the original orchestration by Yan, continues to be performed by other guitarists and orchestras.
In 2004 we began work on what ended up as a major project. It came out 18 months later as an educational DVD box set called 'This is the way I do it'. It is the most comprehensive work I've ever done as far as integrating into a coherent system, everything I've learned that has shed light upon the way music can be taught in general, and improvisation in particular.

1998-2003 - Remember Shakti
In 1997 I was invited by Zakir Hussain to help him reform the original Shakti group, but we were unable to pull it off. What we did do was get percussionist T.H. Vinayakram and flautist Hari Prasad Chaurasia together and we toured the UK recording a live concert during the tour.
By the time the tour was over Zakir and I really wanted to continue and develop Shakti music where we left off in 1978, 20 years previously! Once again we were not able to reform the original, so we decided to invite 'Mandolin' Shrinivas, and Vikku's son Selvaganesh to make it a quartet again. It's such a great band. However, in 1999 I start looking for a vocalist to join us and find singer Shankar Mahadevan. He joins Zakir and me in a festival we played in Bombay in 2000, and he's been in the band ever since. This is some band and what a history!

1997 - The Heart of Things
Even though I just toured and recorded with Paco and Al, I'm very quickly back into electric mode and form another band. 'The Heart of Things'. Dennis Chambers is back with me with tenor man Gary Thomas, Matt Garrison on bass, Jim Beard and Otmaro Ruiz, (two different recordings). One is a studio album recorded in Milan, and the second is live in Paris released in 2000. What a band!
no images were found
1996 - The Guitar Trio
The Promise' is yet another multi-artist recording with once again many dear friends and musicians. I finally get to record with one of the all-time greatest players, Michael Brecker on tenor. There are many more great players on this album, the guitar trio with Paco and Al, to mention another, Dave Sanborn, Zakir, Trilok , this list is long and beautiful.
no images were found
1993-1995 - The Free Spirits - JM Trio
By this time Trilok is moving more away from the trio, and it's basically impossible to replace him, so by 1993-94 the trio ends. Personally, I am also moving towards the electric guitar again and with drummer Dennis Chambers and Hammond Organist Joey DeFrancesco, I form the trio 'The Free Spirits'. This is one great band and two beautiful human beings. We tour the world once again, and during a stint at the Blue Note Tokyo, we record a live album. Around this time I'd been thinking of asking Elvin Jones to record with me and Joey DeFrancesco, which is the After the Rain recording. We also played some concerts in Europe together, but unfortunately never in the US.

1987-1993 - The JM Trio
After playing some duo concerts with bassist Jonas Hellborg, I invite percussionist Trilok Gurtu to join us to form a trio, but by the time the trio is formed Jonas has been replaced by bassist Jeff Berlin. Oddly, Jeff stays with the trio for only 6 months and he in turn is replaced by bassist Kai Eckhardt. This is the trio that is featured on the live recording 'Live at the Royal Festival Hall'. The brazilian and hispanic influences that were so prominent with the guitar trio and The Translators, are still here, but they are now fused with the masterly percussion of Trilok who brings in once again, the lovely Indian influence that has been so much part of my life. By this time technology has given me a guitar synth that works with the acoustic guitar, and this is a great combination. Kind of 'antique and modern'. You can hear this on the two recordings we made 'Royal Festival Hall' live, and a studio recording with bassist Dominique di Piazza called 'Que Alegria'.

1980-1985 - Original Guitar Trio - The Translators
My leaning towards the acoustic guitar coincided with my hearing guitarist Paco de Lucia on French radio one day. I managed to find his number and called him to propose playing/working together. He was up for it so I called an old friend and great guitar player Larry Coryell, and the guitar trio was born. From the first it was an amazing success. However, by the end of 1980, Larry had left and Al di Meola came in and replaced him. The guitar trio went from success to success. Of course, this was a time when there was no Internet and no pirating, and record sales were great. Over the years we've recorded another album and toured the world. This is a fine recording, and satisfying musically.
During this period I move towards another kind of jazz fusion with another quite short lived group known loosely as the Translators. We recorded two albums for Warner Bros: 'Belo Horizonte' and 'Music spoken Here'. I was going though a musically transitional period, and the music on these recordings reflect this movement. That said, I'm still today very happy with these two recordings.

1979 - The One Truth Band
My shortest lived band was the One Truth Band. It was formed in '79 and while it was a great band which included L. Shankar, I was gravitating more and more towards the acoustic guitar. I hope that the Montreux Festival in Switzerland will release a DVD of a concert this band played there because it's a real document. There is a Cd 'Electric Dreams', a recording that featured a different rhythm section, drummer Tony Smith and assist Fernando Saunders. The original was drummer Sonship, and bassist T.M. Stevens. Now while these two rhythm sections are radically different, they are both outstanding and well worth a listen.

1975-1978 - Shakti
By this time is was clear to me that India and its culture, musical and philosophical, had become a part of my life, and it remains so to this day. In 1972 and primarily under the influence of the great South Indian vina player Balachander, I was studying vina under master Ramanathan at Wesleyan College Connecticut. Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain and I had become friends already in 1969, and having met violinist L. Shankar who was teaching also at Wesleyan, by 1973-4 Shakti was born. By the end of 1975 mridangam player Ramnad Raghavan had been replaced by T.H. Vikku Vinayakram whose speciality was Ghatam, but not before CBS had recorded a live concert we played at NYU in Southampton Long Island. This was the first Shakti recording. From 1976 until the end of 1978 Shakti toured the world. One of my fondest memories is the time Shakti spent playing concerts opposite Weather Report. This was a hot combination at this time. By 1978 Vikku had to return to Madras to take over the school for percussion his father had founded some years before.

1971-1975 - Mahavishnu
After a club date in Boston in 1970 with Miles, he tells me it's time to form my own band.
By this time Miles' recordings are definitely jazz fusion or jazz rock. His recording 'Bitches Brew' confirmed this in no uncertain terms. My work and writing with Tony was more and more rock, r 'n b and funk influenced. Also I was increasingly influenced by the philosophical and musical ideas coming out of India at that time. These influences can be seen in that another name 'Mahavishnu' was given to me by my guru Sri Chinmoy, and the sophisticated rhythmical concepts integrated in Indian classical music, both north and south which directly influenced the compositions i was writing for The Mahavishnu Orchestra. The M.O. became really popular over a short period of time, maybe too successful since by 1973 the atmosphere in the band had become untenable for me and we ended it at the end of the year.
The 2nd Mahavishnu was quite different but a wonderful band all the same, with drummer Michael Narada Walden, Jean-Luc Ponty and Ralphe Armstrong, that band was kicking!
We had a great experience recording with the London Symphony under Michael Tilson Thomas, and the entire production under the great George Martin.
At the same time in Indian influence was having its effect and by 1973-4 Shakti was a kind of underground band that played small concerts in churches and schools, while I continued with Mahavishnu. By the end of 1975, Shakti had become increasingly important to me, and by the end of the year, it became my only band.

1968-1970 - Miles Davis - Tony Williams Lifetime
After a jam with drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Dave Holland in Ronnie Scott's club in London, Jack plays a recording of it to Tony Williams and he gets me the gig with Tony and Lifetime. Rounding off the trio is Khaled Yaseen (Larry Young) on Hammond Organ. This is a real thrill for me. I've been listening to Tony with Miles since 1964 and he's the greatest. He and Elvin Jones were the two most revolutionary drummers of the 20th century. By this time I've had the experience of having my own band, but I've been mainly a sideman with a number of fine musicians in the UK, but living from playing in R 'n B and funk bands such as Georgie Fame, Graham Bond, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. Even though I was under the musical and spiritual influence of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, I was happy to be playing R 'n B. by this time (mid to late 1960's) most musicians were being influenced by the Beatles, the Motown group of musicians and Jimi Hendrix, especially guitar players.
By the time I arrive in New York, I'd just passed my 27th birthday, and playing with Tony and Khalid was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The times were pretty wild at the end of the 1960's and the music followed the times. My good luck didn't end there as I found myself in the studio with Miles a day after my arrival in New York for the recording of 'In a Silent Way'. Miles' influence on me went into hyperdrive from that point, and I had the best of all possible musical worlds: playing and recording with Tony and Lifetime, and Miles Davis.
I was already under the influence of Indian music and thought, which one can see reflected in the LP 'My Goal's Beyond'. It's also a reflection of my affection for the acoustic guitar.

Special Projects
'Love Devotion Surrender'. This recording was made in between two Mahavishnu tours, and was a great experience. I'd met Carlos Santana in 1971 and we'd become good friends. We recorded this album and went on to tour but only in the USA. It was an all-star lineup with drummer Billy Cobham, Dougie Rauch on bass, Armando Peraza percussion and the late great Larry Young (Khalid Yasin) on Hammond organ. Since then Carlos and I have played many times together, and last year we celebrated 40 years of friendship with a concert in Switzerland. Perhaps it will be released on DVD one day.
'Electric Guitarist'. This was the first multi-artist recording that I made, and though it was a lot of work, I listen to this recording with a smile on my face. Many friends came: Tony Williams, Jack Bruce, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Jack DeJohnette, Dave Sanborn, Carlos and many more. Great experience!
'Mahavishnu' and 'Adventures in Radioland' These two albums were recorded with a band that carried the name 'Mahavishnu' but for the last time. It was a great band with Bill Evans on tenor, Mitch Foreman keyboards and Jonas Hellborg on bass. I had a Synclavier guitar during this period which in spite of its limitations, was a real instrument that could be played live with no glitches. We toured the US and Europe and recorded a show at the Montreux Jazz festival that came out on DVD with a video recording of the 2nd Mahavishnu a few years back. Bill played tenor and soprano with Miles when Miles made his comeback, and we had a lot of laughs with the stories we both have with him.
I got a commission from the Los Angeles Symphony to write a piece for guitar and orchestra. Miles comes to the premier and I'm thrilled. Fast forward a couple of years and I've recorded the piece with the London Symphony directed by my old friend conductor Michael Tilson Thomas. I'm in Edinburgh and run into Miles and we hang out after the concert and I give him an audio tape of the recording. We sit in his hotel room while he listens to the whole piece. At the end he turns to me and says, » John, now you can die »…
Time Remembered was first and foremost a homage to pianist Bill Evans who has been a continual inspiration throughout my life. Secondly it was a homage to the guitar. I always believed it was possible to capture Bill's poetic melancholy with the acoustic guitar, and though this recording was a true labor of love, in the end the result is lovely. For this project I invited a quartet of guitarists known as the Aighetta Quartet, and my old friend and ex-student Yan Maresz to play acoustic bass guitar.
I also mention this recording above. It was another dream come true to play and record with Elvin the album 'After the Rain'. What a beautiful human being… With us was the amazing Joey DeFrancesco on Hammond Organ. Those two together…
Chick Corea calls me up during a six month stay in India with a great idea: the project came out as 5 Peace Band, and what a band. Wonderful players, Kenny Garrett, Christian McBride and Vinnie Colaiuta, and later on the amazing Brian Blade. To play with a musician like Chick is just a marvelous experience. I just marvel when he plays… We made a live record, toured the world, and won a Grammy!.
Carlos Santana and I play a 'birthday' concert in Switzerland to celebrate 40 years of friendship. The performance was recorded in audio and video, but has not been released yet.
It's not the end, but in ending these writings, I have to offer my deepest thanks to all the musicians I've mentioned in these notes. They have contributed immensely not only to my musical evolution, but my spiritual evolution also.

A one-time musical star took to the stage for the first in 30 years to serenade her hero Sir Tom Jones with a song she penned about him on tonight's episode of The Voice.
Teresa Vasiliou, 61, was once tipped as the next Judy Garland by four-time Oscar winner Katharine Hepburn and toured the America as singer before a throat tumour cut her career tragically short.
The London-based singer had been hoping to kick start her career again on the BBC talent show - but left disappointed when none of the four judges picked her for their team after she sang Cher's hit I Found Someone.
But she was not downbeat for long as she got the chance to sing her own song - If You Are Going To Touch Me - written for her music idol and the Voice judge Sir Tom.
After singing the number acapella Vasiliou said: "Performing that song for Tom today made it worth it. It made it totally worth it."
And it looked like the feeling was mutual as the Welsh crooner clapped enthusiastically and grinned during the performance.
It was a disappointing night overall for contestants who were hoping for a second chance at pop fame on the show.
Fellow auditionee Angie Brown has already enjoyed chart success after she sang lead vocals on Bizarre Inc's 1992 hit I'm Gonna Get You.
But despite getting the audience on their feet by belting out her dance floor anthem, none of the judges turned around to pick her.
American singer and producer Will.i.am revealed that the song inspired part of the Black Eyed Peas global hit Boom Boom Pow.
Will told her: "I didn't turn around because (of) the stage we are at in the competition, I could be wrong. You could be the one that got away."
But Brown remained cheerful, telling the judges: "I just wanted to come here and see what the reaction was going to be. You didn't turn around but I'm going to hold my head up high."
It was a busy night for judges Will.i.am, Kylie Minogue, Ricky Wilson and Sir Tom who selected the last of the contestants to join their teams of 12.
Next week the pop hopefuls will battle it out in the first of the knock-out rounds, where the teams will be whittled down from 12 to six, and the judges will have a chance to poach their rivals' talent.
