Despite the growth of technology in music composition and performance, professional clarinetists maintain that air microphones are superior to piezoelectric pickups. Pickups offer increased mobility, isolation, and reduced feedback, but air microphones are used simply for the perceived sound quality. In this study a ported barrel pickup and a contact transducer pickup placed at various intervals on the clarinet were sampled and compared to a reference recording to determine how the sound differed for each method. In addition, the history of wind instrument pickups, the acoustics of the clarinet, and the basics of piezoelectricity were discussed to help examine the …

Research in fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in performance has included CD recording projects, commissions of new pieces, as well as papers on existing pieces that push the performer beyond traditional playing by incorporating extended techniques, multimedia, technology, or movement. This study attempts to synthesize these ideas by commissioning a new work for clarinet and electronics that can be performed alone, combined with movement, or with an interactive video accompaniment. Primary work for this project has been the audio recording, music video, and live dance performance of the new work, entitled Agents of Espionage, which can …

The Fabric of India, part of the V&A's India Festival is currently on at the Victoria & Albert Museum in Kensington.
Over 200 objects are on display at The Fabric of India at the Victoria & Albert Museum, the first exhibition to explore the rich world of handmade Indian textiles. The history of fabric in India is one of the most ancient in the world with the oldest surviving cotton threads dating from around 4000 BC.
On display are examples of everyday fabrics as well as previously unseen treasures from ancient banners to contemporary saris. The exhibition offers an introduction to the raw materials and processes of making cloth by hand with displays of basic fibres of silk, cotton and wool. It shows how fabrics were used in courtly and spiritual life covering the range, opulence, scale, and splendour of objects handmade for the rich and powerful courts of the 17th to 19th centuries.
The changing world is examined too as European industrialisation threatened to eradicate Indian handmaking skills in the 19th century. A range of pieces designed for foreign export showcase the ability of Indian artisans to adapt designs and techniques for a wide variety of markets. Different regions developed specialities based on local resources such as natural dyes, and printing patterns with wooden blocks. A film shows how it is done. Each part of India has its own weaving tradition, and embroidery with regional styles. The exhibition examines how fabrics were used in courtly and spiritual life with an area where haunting music is played showcases articles, including a sultan's tent, that was saved from the Indian royal courts.
Textiles are also shown when modernisation became a priority after Indian gained its independence in 1947. A range of pieces for foreign export showcases the ability of Indian artisans to adapt designs and techniques for a wide variety of different markets, and highlights how their designers rework traditional techniques into extravagant clothes.
The India Festival includes
Bejewelled Treasures: The Al Thani Collection which opens on 21 November and runs until 28 March 2016 while Musical Wonders of India in the Nehru Gallery runs until 3 July 2016.
On 8 December, Michael Palin is giving a talk on his visits to India.
The exhibition runs until 10 January, 2016.
Tickets £14. Open daily from 10.00 – 17.45 (Friday 22.00)

Hello ladies,
Most Indians end up with unsuccessful weight-loss efforts, mostly because of following the wrong diet plan or because of giving up owing to the taste, or should I say non typical-Indian taste! Many of us Indians are used to a particular taste and cannot give up on our roti and rice. And a very few know that weight loss can be achieved even with a 'desi' diet. So here is an expert approved Indian diet chart for weight loss.
The key rules:
1. Avoid unsaturated fats entirely. Only opt for foods with low fat content.
2. Curtail refined sugars. They add empty calories to your body. Many people often think that the body's energy needs will not be met if you cut down on sugar, which is a myth. You can get enough sugar from seasonal fruits and dry fruits.
3. Drink enough water and keep yourself hydrated all the time.
4. Eat less but eat frequently. Eat every 2-3 hours and do not wait for hunger to alarm you.
5. Calculate your BMI and plan your weight-loss goals accordingly. You want to make sure that you are on a healthy weight-loss plan and not starving yourself.
6. Consume more of proteins, healthy fats and add more fiber to your diet.
7. Diet alone will not do the trick. You also need to work out regularly and sleep enough every day.
Indian diet plan for vegetarians:
• Early morning: A glass of water mixed with honey or lemon juice or aloe vera juice.
• Breakfast (within 30 minutes of waking up): source of high fiber cereal like oats, wheat flour, wheat flakes with milk or other milk products along with one fruit.
• Mid-morning: Dry fruits and a glass of fresh fruit juice.
• Lunch: Rice (preferably brown rice) or roti or both along with a bowl of salad. You can also add a bowl of dal or raita or low fat yoghurt.
• Post lunch: Fruit juice and one fruit.
• Evening snack: Sprouts or oats along with a glass of buttermilk.
• Dinner: A bowl of soup, a bowl of salad, Mix vegetables or cottage cheese (paneer) along with 2-3 rotis or brown rice.
Indian diet chart for non-vegetarians:
• Early morning: A glass of water with honey or lemon juice or Aloe Vera juice.
• Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, a glass of milk or fruit juice, 2-3 slices of brown bread and a fruit.
• Mid-morning: One fruit or some almonds and peanuts.
• Lunch: Roti or rice or both, along with a bowl of chicken, a bowl of salad. You can also add a bowl of dal or mixed vegetables.
• Post lunch: A glass of buttermilk and a fruit.
• Evening snack: Sprouts or oats.
• Dinner: bowl of soup or bowl of salad along with 1-2 rotis, grilled chicken or fish. You can also add a bowl of dal or mixed vegetables.
Top 10 foods for weight loss:
1. Brown rice.
2. Beans and Lentils.
3. Fish.
4. Leafy vegetables and spinach.
5. Garlic.
6. Whole grain
7. Nuts and seeds.
8. Cucumber.
9. Low calorie fruits and vegetables.
10. Healthy spices.
Try to include these foods in your diet. Avoid processed and fried foods altogether. You can also alter between dishes to avoid monotony. Happy dieting!

Karachi Cotton Association expresses serious concern over reports of inducting TCP in the market to procure Lint Cotton from the ginneries at support price
Karachi, July 15, 2016 (PPI-OT): The Karachi Cotton Association has expressed its serious concern on the reports appearing in the section of Press on 12-07-2016 that the Government is considering to induct the Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) in the market to procure Lint Cotton from the ginneries at support price with a view to extend benefit to cotton growers.
The KCA is of the view that any intervention by the Government/Public Sector Organization would not only create distortions in the cotton market but also place adverse repercussion on exports of cotton and its allied products. This would also negate the policy of free trading in cotton being followed very successfully since over a decade which safeguard the interest of all the stakeholders of the cotton economy including the cotton growers.
The KCA believes that sustainable future of all stakeholders of cotton economy depends upon the continuation of a non intervention policy of the Government in the cotton trade so as to safeguard the interest of cotton growers as well and ensure them fair price for their produce over the long run. Under the demand and supply mechanism, the market forces themselves determine the price level of the commodity.
It may be recalled that in the past, the Government through TCP intervened in the cotton market to procure raw cotton from the ginneries at higher than market price but the desired benefit could not be passed on to the cotton growers.
The KCA is of the view that an efficient and effective way to compensate the cotton growers in adverse conditions would be to provide direct subsidy to them by subsidizing electricity, fertilizer and pesticides to reduce their cost of production. This would not only ensure direct benefit to the cotton growers without any middlemen or malpractice but also help to lessen losses to the Government as was the case in the past. Many of these incentives have been covered through Kissan Package and further through the Budget of 2016-17.
The KCA, therefore, strongly urges upon the Government not to make any intervention in the cotton market through Public Sector Organization and continue with the free trading policy of cotton to safeguard the interest of all stakeholders of cotton economy and keep all of them competitive as otherwise, the intervention of the TCP in the cotton market would create unnatural shortage of quality cotton, inflate prices of cotton unnecessarily, render the textile and down-stream industry uncompetitive, accelerate the decline of cotton exports, cause industry closure/unemployment and incur losses of billion of Rupees to the exchequer.
Further, the KCA urges upon the Government to withdraw 4% Customs Duty on import of cotton. This will help the local textile mills to meet their balance requirement of raw material from abroad in the backdrop of shortage of cotton crop at home and make their business competitive in the international market to earn valuable foreign exchange for the country through exports of value added products of cotton.

Words of Wisdom and Inspiration for the aspiring entrepreneur from Frank Covich, Founder of the National Association of Independent Business Brokers (NAIBB)
by Frank Covich
How to Start a Side Business Without Quitting Your Job.
This past month I received at least 20 calls from people around the country who were seeking a way to earn additional income. Most callers had jobs, but just about every person had no bonus program, no way to increase saving or to buy extra needed things. The common questions were, "How can I start a side business without quitting my job? How can a build a side business for myself and my family? What business is right for me?"
I believe that today the general work structure for most people is stagnant, as people work for survival. The nature of most corporate employment is to keep employees bonded to the business, but at the same time, in all too many cases, the business just cannot do more for its employees. This sets up the reality that if you want more security, you have to look past the concept of corporate security and limited pay.
One answer for people who are motivated is to look at what you do now and what you can do that might be synergetic to your experiences. For instance, people with sales experience and people who feel confident talking with business owners can build a side business while working with my program.
In order to begin identifying the right fit for you, I would start by examining the business opportunities presented by shopabizop.com. It features all kinds of different business startup programs, all of which have proven to provide a structure for others to follow.
One example is my business opportunity program, which enables you to become a business transfer consultant/business broker. It focuses on the process of establishing a business transfer consulting practice utilizing the methods scripts and guidelines developed by me and my accomplished business broker consultants over the past 30 years.
Having your own business brokerage practice, offering support to business owners who wish to sell their business, is a great way to earn income by learning the science and art of locating business buyers. And, my bizop business opportunity can be started without quitting your job.
My program will verse you in the business of research, using direct mail, making appointments and making presentations as you go after and close on lucrative business relationships, all while utilizing your own creativity to ensure your success. Making a business seller to business buyer match can be a great revenue source. In fact, I have had clients who paid off their mortgage in one successful business sale transaction.
I have many stories referencing people who once worked full-time at a regular type job who then made an effort to build their own consulting practice in business brokerage and who have prospered greatly as a result.
They started out meeting potential clients on weekends and in the evenings and in hotel lobbies and restaurants. One broker would constantly meet people at diners in order to keep the sell concept confidential.
As people consider the concept of having a side business, the scope is unlimited depending on where you live and the energy that can be focused on the business you select. At the shopabizop.com portal there are all kinds of packaged business opportunities that can fit the profile of a side business structure.
My suggestion is to gather information on a few offerings, carefully consider each program as being your potential new business and then make a plan. You can grow at your own pace and be confident that your business will succeed through using the methods offered.
If you wish to consider having a side business, my recommendation is to go for it. In our current business environment people have built nice business platforms that can be duplicated all over the country. You just need to find the best fit for you.
Don't be afraid to talk with people about what you might want to do, starting with Kevin at ShopABizOp.com. I am sure that if you contact him, he can give you some paths to consider, and I am certain that your dream of starting a side business is as important today as anything you can do for yourself and family.
To consider my program on expanding into the science and art of business brokerage, please visit www.bebizbroker.com, and to examine other great business programs, please visit www.shopabizop.com. Get involved, and remember how important your comparison research is to finding what new business venture that is best for you.
Visit www.bebizbroker.com, and start your practice fast economically and with total confidence!
All the best,
Frank Covich

9/11 - The Pentagon, The Cabbie and The Lamp Post Mystery

I'v written extensively about the 9/11 scam and recently stumbled upon this fascinating little vignette, another kick in the balls for NIST and the official Deep State narrative. What follows is more than just a tiny piece of 9/11; it sums up the whole diabolical plot.
We're going to be looking at the curious case of Lloyd England, a Washington DC taxi driver whose cab was allegedly impaled by a street light pole. This lamp post, officially known as "light pole #1", was supposedly struck by Flight 77 that went on to hit the Pentagon on that fateful morning.
Lloyd England alleges that he was out driving past the Pentagon that morning when the "plane" flew overhead, knocking down light pole #1 as it passed and sending it flying through his windscreen, narrowly missing Lloyd.
Lloyd himself explained to news channels;
"The plane was flying so low that it hit the pole. When it hit the pole it knocked the light part off. Nothing came through the car but the pole itself."
Fortunately for Lloyd, the pole went through the passenger side of his car, ending up embedded in the rear seats of the car. If Mr. England had been in England, he would have been sitting on that side of the car and it would have hurt... But that sort of tragedy never seems to happen in the world of the set-up.
All witnesses that saw the "plane" confirm that it approached from the North. However, the official line is that the *"plane"* initially flew several miles South, past the White House. It then performed an impossibly tight 300 degree loop before crashing into the West Wing of the Pentagon. Radar operators at the time were convinced it could only be some sort of military plane, such was the maneuverability.
These witnesses included Police officers and aviation officials, all considered "expert" witnesses. The others have all lived and worked in the area for many years, if not their whole lives. They understand the surroundings and geography of the area around the Pentagon. Furthermore, none of these independent witnesses were willing to go on the record supporting a South side approach of the "plane" in question.
Okay, that's the technical mumbo-jumbo out the way, let's get back to our cabbie friend. The witnesses all confirm that the "plane" would have been nowhere near the 5 downed light poles and would have actually have been furthest away from "light pole #1". This is the pole Lloyd England says he dragged out of his vehicle moments after the attack.
Although there is photographic evidence of all 5 light poles that were allegedly knocked down, there are no photos of light pole #1 actually inside the taxi. There are photos of the cab with a smashed windscreen with the light pole lying on the floor next to it, but none of it actually jammed through the windscreen. There are also ZERO witnesses that saw the pole in the cab or Mr. England removing it. To the contrary, they all claim that the "plane" went nowhere near these particular light poles...
However, Lloyd claims that he screeched to a halt sideways with the 30 foot long pole protruding through the windscreen of his vehicle. Hmmm... Further to that, he explained how a "silent stranger" helped him in pulling the pole out of the car.
So we have a 90 tonne Boeing 757 travelling at 530mph in one direction smashing a lamp post into poor old Lloyd's cab, which was travelling at around 40mph in the opposite direction. You'd imagine there would be some serious force in that light pole yeah? Although it seemingly went through the windscreen, there was absolutely NO damage to the bonnet/hood of Lloyd's taxi. Not so much as a scratch. Hmmmm...
How on earth did a 30 foot long pole get hurled through a windscreen with that much energy and also be subsequently removed without leaving scratches on the bonnet? (Hint: It can't because it's impossible) This is without bearing in mind that the fucking "plane" passed nowhere near where Lloyd England claimed this incident happened anyway!
England was confronted again in 2008 with this information. Before the official interview took place, the camera was off but unbeknownst to Lloyd, the audio was being recorded. Here's what he let slip;
"One guy took pictures... he lives right over here on 17th street... he was up on the BRIDGE... He took pictures of the pole, of the car..."
However, when the cameras started rolling, Lloyd appeared to change his mind and would not admit to being anywhere near "the bridge". This is crucial. Being near or on the bridge in question would make his account nonsensical as it doesn't tie in to anything that has been said by ALL the other witnesses. Basically, the flight path the "plane" would have had to take to interfere with Lloyd's morning was at a 90 degree angle to the flight path of whatever did actually approach and hit the Pentagon!
The authorities never even bothered to take Lloyd's taxi in as evidence but he was interviewed by the FBI. He says this happened once they realised he had survived, adding that it was "because my wife works for them"...
Then he's shown multiple photographs, including the car, the pole and Lloyd himself at the part of the bridge where the "plane" couldn't possibly have crossed paths with his taxi. Yet he continually denied what this evidence clearly showed. At this point Lloyd England is tied up in knots.
All the photos examined were taken by a military photographer yet England STILL denied that they were taken from where they were taken! Don't forget that just before the camera rolled, he unwittingly told of how the photographs taken by his conveniently placed neighbour WERE taken on the bridge. Also remember that 2 years had passed since he had last spoken of the incident. Had he been "coached" by someone during this time so that his story matched up with witness accounts? The plot thickens...
The investigative team even took him out by car and drove him around, showing him that the photographic evidence proves where the incident took place. But Lloyd kept saying it was elsewhere and when they actually arrive at the exact spot it occurred, he is adamant it is NOT the right spot! While Mr. England sounds confused he is simply lying, infuriating yet comedic at the same time, such is the absurdity of his denials.
However, the team were about to catch him out again. On the drive back to his house they not only captured the audio but this time, they also had a somewhat secret camera rolling, pointing at Lloyd as he spoke. And as you will see, he's a different kettle of fish when he thinks he's not going down on the record;
BOOM.... He basically admits that he was somehow roped into a top secret 9/11 covert operation by the Deep State but at no point does he outright confess. Listening to him speak, you can tell he's just happy to get some of this stuff off his chest, not realising he's being recorded in any way. Does having a wife who works for the FBI mean anything? I don't know, but it's interesting.
Lloyd's close shave with a Boeing 757 and a lamp post was clearly staged. A "plane" did not hit the Pentagon. This incident was just one of hundreds and thousands of the carefully planned pieces of arguably the most dastardly crime ever committed. Far from being a great deception, it's actually quite transparent when you look at it closely. I struggle to comprehend how such a vast amount of people still believe that America was attacked by Arabs that day.
Maybe it's just human nature. It's truly horrific that a nation would kill thousands of it's own citizens in such an audacious plot, simply to gain support for illegal wars in the Middle East. Wars over oil that rage on to this day and show no sign of stopping. This is clearly too much for some people to accept.
But this is the Deep State we're talking about. They've done it many times before and will no doubt do it again, the ends always justify the means. Those ends? Money and power. It's ALWAYS money and power.
Fuck the Deep State and be part of the rebellion.

Over our 25+ years in global corporate development, we've observed many different attributes associated with high-performing leadership teams. Given diverse workforces coupled with a complex and fast-growing global economy, it's imperative that companies address the way they attract and retain talent toward developing high-performing leadership teams.
Successful leaders have a built-in awareness of what it really means to foster a culture of high-performing leadership teams. They understand the similarities and differences between generations and how the various age groups prefer to be led.
As research indicates, by 2020, fifty percent of the workforce will be made up of millennials. This has forced us to shift the way we lead, manage, and create high-performing leadership teams. It's not only about creating these teams, but sustaining them, given the challenges posed by diverse age groups. The mix of longer working baby boomers with Gen-Xers, and the tsunami of millennials make for a challenging workforce when it comes to communications, motivations and accountabilities.
For the first time in history, we're dealing with four different generations, all in the employed workplace, that have very different goals, aspirations, work-life balance expectations, social aspirations, etc. In order to optimize this mix it's essential to recognize and develop fundamental attributes that cut across these individual categories.
We've observed several such attributes but will develop three key ones that distinguish high-performing leadership teams. For this article we'll focus on: purposefulness, interpersonal trust, and shared accountability.
When a team is operating at an optimal level, there is a clear sense of purpose; everyone on the team understands and embraces a shared vision that is aligned with their day-to-day responsibilities and the broader vision and goals of the business. It's magical to watch a team's energy when it's focused and purposeful. This aligns contributions to achieve the full range of organizational goals.
We've witnessed many organizations come to a standstill, where potentially the success of the business was at risk, because of a loss or absence of purpose. In one such case, misalignment at the senior-most level of the company resulted in conflicting messages being received by the management and employees. This, in turn, resulted in a slowdown of productivity and ultimately a loss of functional purpose. In this case leadership misalignment sidetracked company purpose and loss on several dimensions was the result.
High-performing leadership team members are focused on the common good and goals. There's a common thread: Whatever work they put themselves to is not self-promotional, but rather for the advancement of the team. Recognition follows when each contributor performs as a team member. The individual impetus is not for individual recognition or motives, but for the team and the organization. This, in and of itself, is purposeful.
Interpersonal Trust
Interpersonal trust is one of the most important functional aspects of a high-performing leadership team because it's the foundation of any effective relationship—personal or professional. We've observed teams fall apart for lack of trust amongst the team members, which drives a silo work ethic, marginalizing the value of shared vision and common goals. In the case of the company noted earlier, the senior management members simply didn't trust each other. Whether this was the result of a breach of trust or the correlational baggage brought over from prior positions, the team members couldn't seem to get past the most basic of human essentials: trust.
The absence of trust among leadership team members ripples across the organization, ultimately damaging the company, its reputation and its future.
When working in a team that is functioning well, it's similar to being part of a small community or family. When adversity or conflict arises, the members speak honestly, getting to the point quickly without worrying about hurting each other's feelings, wasting time or gossiping. High-performing leadership team members empower each other to foster open communication, valuing one another's contribution as both accountable and aspirational.
Shared Accountability
The third attribute of a high performing leadership team is shared accountability. Every team member understands and owns their individual responsibilities and how such fits into the whole. Team members are committed to their own achievements, as well as the overall results of the team. These team members understand the business impact their contributions make to the overall goals of client satisfaction and company goals. They seek mutual success by holding themselves and others accountable, assuming higher responsibilities, further expanding the scope of interests and commitments.
A few years ago we had the opportunity to work with a leadership team of a global company whose task was to integrate four acquired companies within 12 months. This was an almost impossible task given its complexities; however, this leadership team embraced the attribute of shared accountability and took it seriously by holding each other accountable for their own respective functions. If someone was not on track for their proposed deadlines, everyone pulled together and navigated through whatever issues needed to be resolved. They built a structure for support, a place to share, and included everyone. This could not have been possible if they lacked trust or accountability with each other. Each one knew what their roles were and the impact it could potentially have if they didn't carry their share for their mutual success.
We're often called in when teams are broken and productivity is waning. Our initial analysis begins with the three attributes outlined above. If no sense of clear purpose or vision of the company is in place people self-protect by regressing to survival mode. This results in a direct hit on productivity. When interpersonal trust is missing, communication in all its forms radically alters and rarely for the good. When shared accountability is either absent or ambiguous the overall fabric of teaming is challenged to maintain resilience.

Parisian duo Her (Victor Solf and Simon Carpentier), who released their debut EP at the beginning of the year, are one of our favorite new bands. After dropping a video and featuring in an Apple commercial earlier this month, their next move is a collaboration with Yuksek.
The French producer delivers lively, disco-leaning production, and although the lyrics are as sensual as ever, it's fun hearing Her over a brighter backdrop usual. Yuksek explains how it all came together:
"I knew Victor because he sang backing vocals on a song we did with Juveniles few years ago. Recently Her released a five-song EP that really caught my attention, some minimal soul, old school and really modern at the same time, so good that I wanted to try something with them. We sat in a studio, started a song and I played them 'Sweet Addiction.' Back home, each of them worked on it separately and the magic happened, it was like a puzzle to put back together, but the song was done. Funny thing about this song is that I started it first on my bed, morning time, and finished it last year in holidays, facing the sea. Makes sense."
"Sweet Addiction" comes from Yuksek's EP of the same name, out tomorrow, June 17.

This is one of very few jewelry type pieces I wear. I found it by chance and now will have one on my wrist for as long as I have a wrist. The concept is what sold me.
The name "Lokai" was inspired by the Hawaiian word "Lōkahi," meaning unity and/or harmony. The concept was a bracelet of balance, and each one contains a white bead with water from Mt. Everest and a black bead with mud from the Dead Sea, the highest and lowest points on Earth respectively. The white bead is said to represent life's highest moments and reminds the wearer to be humble and the black bead represents the difficult moments in life and reminds the wearer to stay hopeful. These beads are said to act as a metaphor for the highs and lows the wearer experiences in life
I love the idea of this. Positive thinking is a big deal to me. I believe in the power of positive and optimism. And this bracelet serves as a quick reminder of that every time I flick my wrist.
And if you are curious about the "love" bracelet: CLICK HERE.

July 6, 2018 — Four years ago, Lydia, a 14 ½-foot, 1-ton great white shark almost made history when she swam over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in March of 2014, a submerged mountain chain that runs from the Arctic Ocean to the southern tip of Africa, and entered the eastern Atlantic.
No other great white had made a documented Atlantic crossing and, while she ultimately turned back 800 miles short of the Cornish coastline, scientists puzzled over why she made the trip at all.
Great whites are driven by the search for food, but a foray into the open ocean beyond the continental shelf, often portrayed as a desert relieved only by an occasional oasis, was baffling. Finding a possible answer took detective work, piecing together data from some of the most sophisticated technology strapped to two great whites, as well as a network of satellites and ocean-going robots. It's a technique scientists hope will be a model for future research into the unknown worlds of the deep sea and for conservation efforts to protect that ecosystem.

Easter Lunch
"I can get a better phone any time I want…I could get one tomorrow. Well, I could on Tuesday, the stores are closed tomorrow, but I could do it!" With that Anna Maria stormed out of the room, or at least stormed as much as I have ever seen.
"Is she angry?" I asked Luciano who was laughing.
I could tell she was agitated since she had switched to dialect, something she does unconsciously when excited. After all, Italian is as much a second language for her as it is for me and so she needs to concentrate to speak it. And while I can get the gist of the conversation in dialect, the details escape me.
"No. Well, maybe. She has just had enough teasing."
Zio Danilo was laughing too. He'd had the honor of pushing his sister just a bit too far, suggesting that her mobile phone was outdated. After all, it had no loudspeaker function and certainly could not take photos. He whipped out his fancy sliding phone, 3 megapixels, and took a few calls…I think to show off. But in fact, being Easter Sunday, Luciano's Uncle Dan was in high demand. He had just finished leading the mass over in San Polo, but the much-loved priest in town for the weekend is constantly fielding invitations. I think we were pretty lucky to score his presence for Easter lunch. It did not stop Anna Maria, however from being peeved at his comments on her technological limitations.
These criticisms were pretty strong coming from a man who did not own a cell phone until two or three years ago. People used to track him down by calling house phones from San Polo to Mareno…sometimes even during lunch, the epitome of poor education.
"Her battery lasts 11 days, Zio." Luciano chimed in, "I am lucky if mine lasts 11 hours…"
"Eleven minutes," I muttered.
"She must never talk to anyone. Wait, I have to take this call."
Anna Maria had rejoined us, sitting at the table glaring at her brother as Giancarlo made the coffee.
"I talk on the phone when I need to. I am not attached to it all day long."
Zio Danilo hung up and gazed at his younger sister.
That was a tense moment.
"How many megapixels do you have on your camera, Anna Maria?" I asked innocently enough, as if to change the subject. Anna Maria brightened.
"Eight, I have eight megapixels."
"Really?" Zio Danilo was visibly impressed. "You have a serious camera."
"Yes." She was happy. Everyone relaxed. Indeed she had been the family photographer last summer when I left my old camera with her to record the progress on the house next door; a job she took very seriously. Now of course, Anna Maria was incapable of operating her hand-me-down camera without my going through the steps every time she wants to take a picture. And I am convinced she does not know what a megapixel is, but that did not matter, nor was I going to mention that fact. For the moment she has won the technology spitting match between siblings whose childhood had been spent in a house with a cow in the front yard and no electricity.
Appeased, Anna Maria turned and pulled a piece of paper out of her drawer. This usually means that she has written down some English word that she heard or read and wanted to try her pronunciation out on me…to see if I can figure out what she is saying. I have heard leepstic, (lipstick) ies ui chen (Yes, we can) and hot pants (that one I got). I usually can guess, but sometimes she catches me off guard.
"Waterboarding." She repeated.
Ok, she surprised me. "Do you know what that is?"
"Yes, it is when you simulate drowning by holding someone's head under water."
"Well, that is not really simulation, is it?" Luciano commented dryly.
Anna Maria shot him a look and again switched to dialect. I missed the details, but it was my impression that she clarified this particular method of torture, her expertise on the topic in fact, alarming. I assured her that I knew what it meant. Giancarlo poured the coffee and Zio Danilo stirred in his three spoons of sugar.
"Ok, how about this: book crossing"
"Ok, that I have no idea."
"Oh I know that, it is a system of book exchange!" Of course Luciano, sworn lover of books, knew this word.
"Serena does not know it because books are being replaced by digital versions," Zio Danilo had succeeded in getting the conversation back to technology. "In fact, they are talking about replacing all the books in the library with a digital format of some kind.
Anna Maria said nothing…probably digesting this alarming step into the latest brave new world that she had no hope of pretending to understand.
Zio Danilo didn't even slow down. "My first book in English was about a dog in Alaska, I think, that went back into the wild…what was the name of that book?"
"Oh, Call of the Wild. That's not an easy book." I was impressed, but not really surprised. The Italian school system for some reason has not gotten beyond 19th century literature and most people I have met have read Oscar Wilde, Emily Bronte and Jack London, but know nothing of John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner; T.S. Eliot, David Foster Wallace…or Danielle Steel, for that matter.
"Have you read Call of the Wild, Anna Maria?" One more jab from Uncle Dan?
"No, but I think I can find it at the Mareno library."
"Do you think they have it?"
"If they don't, someone should burn it down." Luciano has strong feelings about the classics.
Now that we were back on books, real books, both Anna Maria and Giancarlo could relax. Voracious readers since their retirement, they sit side by side at the kitchen table, reading every afternoon. .She will finish any book she starts, even if she hates it. It's a commitment thing. Anna Maria and I read To Kill a Mockingbird together, I in English and she, of course, in Italian. We discussed Atticus and Boo Radley over the fence last summer. And yes, she has read every book Danielle Steel has ever written and finally tackled Promessi Sposi, the Italian classic novel, so that she could be in the know for television game show questions
Her brother knows this and, being the peaceable, albeit mischievous, priest, he sat back and smiled across the table. The rain came down in sheets outside and the blossom laden trees across the street danced in the blustery wind…strange weather for Easter. But harmony reigned once again at the kitchen table, whose smooth surface shone with years of elbows, book covers and warm banter…in any language.

The Abundance Tulsi Mala has been thoughtfully designed to help manifest health, wealth and prosperity, and provide energetic protection. While financial abundance may offer more freedom in life, if we are not healthy enough to enjoy it, are we really free? Abundance in love, happiness, health, and mental wellbeing are just as important as financial abundance. The abundance mala takes all of this into consideration to help me attract vibrance, wellbeing, and prosperity.
The mala design includes tulsi, a powerful adaptogenic herb that reduces inflammation and dispels negativity offering protection. Burmese jade imparts serenity, longevity, and warmth and is known to promote, a calm, happy, and healthy life. It is known as the 'stone of heaven' and balances the emotions and heart chakra to instill love and peacefulness. Citrine transforms negative energy into positive energy to bring about more joy and happiness. It supports the solar plexus chakra promoting confidence, courage, and self-esteem. It is a powerful stone for attracting wealth, success, and prosperity and is especially wonderful for those starting a new business. Additionally, citrine will help to mitigate greed and attachment to your wealth. Pyrite is also supportive to the solar plexus chakra and carries a masculine energy that supports manifestation and following your dreams. Also called the 'stone of luck,' pyrite attracts abundance, wealth, and prosperity. It shields negative energy and blocks energy leaks that can cause you to lose your money. It is protective of environmental pollution and supports emotional wellbeing. Dalmatian jasper is used just above the guru bead as a reminder to carry joy and lightness in the heart. This stone helps us to not take ourselves too seriously and remember to have fun. It also provides the protective energies and grounding of black tourmaline which appear as the little black specks in this stone. The bright yellow green tassel is a color of manifestation, confidence, self-esteem, and happiness, also supportive to the solar plexus chakra.
Note that with use, tulsi will develop a darker appearance as the oils from your skin come into contact with it. Think of it how leather becomes richer over time with wear developing its own unique characteristics. This will symbolize the beauty of your journey. As your practice develops your mala you will develop a special relationship with your mala and it will start feel like an old friend.
Check out the mala making ebook, The Art of Mala Making, Ritual, and Practice.
This mala is also available as a kit where you can make it yourself! Check it out here.
