Several Genocides
Kill Count in Star Wars (4 Videos)
The original "Star Wars" movies are a non-violent and kid-friendly, right? Not really any blood or gore to speak of. But once you start totalling up the deaths of pilots, capital ships and whole planets, it becomes apparent that one of our most beloved film trilogies contains the equivalent of several genocides.
'The Force Awakens'
4,000,000,000,157 Kills
In words: 4 Trillion (English) / 4 Billion (German)
'Rogue One'
18,250 Kills
250 + 2 Star Destroyers (each 9000 StromTroopers)
The Trilogy
2,005,645,868 Kills
Total on-screen death count from 'A New Hope', 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi'

THE Aprilia Superteen Series has just finished, with Southport's Ben Gautrey excelling.
Since completing round three in Pembrey, there have been another seven race meetings, including support Races at this year's World Superbikes and Moto GP weekends at Donington Park.
Ben has been consistent in his performances all season, managing to put himself on a podium finish at the majority of circuits.
Ben's season really kicked in at Brands Hatch, where a very good qualifying position put him second on the grid, in his four races at Brands he finished third , fourth, fifth and sixth and looked really good.
With only two race meetings left after Brands, Ben knew he needed some good performances to secure a top six finish in the Championship and pass the 'magic' 300 points total he had set himself at the start of the Season.
From Brands things got better and better.
Next up was Anglesey. Qualifying in sixth place for the weekend races, Ben was very confident.
However, in race one when positioned second in the penultimate lap, Ben came off and so did not finish the race. In race two it was stopped three laps from the end, when positioned fifth.
So the remaining two races scheduled for the Sunday were now very important. Anglesey was glorious and Ben managed to finish second in both races, breaking the Anglesey track record no fewer than four times. He rode excellent and was now only a point behind Danny Murphy who lay in sixth position in the Championship.
Rockingham was to be holding its first full Motorbike Race Meeting since 2003. Mainly used for Car and Carting, the circuit boasts three different tracks, and three magnificent Grandstands in the purpose built arena.
As nobody in the Superteens had riden, let alone raced there before, everyone was starting off on level pegging.
The main Aprilia 125 Superteen Championship was still undecided with any one of the top five riders still mathematically in with a chance of winning the title.
Having cemented a top six finish in the Championship Ben did brilliant to go on and win his first race.

Crossed 160k on my way home from work. It's highly unlikely I will see 170k with this car with the issues it is developing so that will get to be the next owners first major milestone. If it wasn't for the blown synchro, dying input shaft bearing, (small) rust spots on almost every body panel, and the countless rubber bits going bad because they are 15+ years old I would probably drive it past 200k.
I also think this officially makes the Mini the highest mileage daily driver my family has owned in my lifetime. My Corolla had ~156k on it when my dad disposed of it at the dealer when buying his first BRZ and I think the next highest would have been my dad's 03 Impreza which had 12xk on it when he sold it. Next highest in the current fleet is my sister's Impreza at a whopping 37k.

The monsoon is hot, yet it is a dramatic time to see the Narmada River as it should be! Each year in February The Ahilya Fort presents the Sacred River, a celebration of the Narmada, three days of music, dance, and song in the Fort's courtyard.
Enjoy meeting Richard (Holker, the forts owner) and his gorgeous Pug's who love to follow you around the property.
Enjoy meeting Richard (Holker, the forts owner) and his gorgeous Pug's who love to follow you around the property.
Ahilya Fort is a delightful 18th century heritage property located on a cliff above the banks of the Narmada river in Maheshwar and is a perfect retreat for those wanting an authentic experience away from main tourist areas.
Rising up from the Narmada River, Ahilya Fort is the perfect location for a few days away from it all. Built in the 18th century by Ahilya Bai Holkar, the fort has been lovingly transformed into a boutique heritage retreat.
Your host is Prince Shivaji Rao Holkar who makes sure your visit is magical. The food is exceptional – with organic ingredients used from the garden. You can even learn the tricks to making wonderful Indian cuisine. The Chef produces delicious continental and Indian food. There is no formal dining room. A la carte breakfast is served on the ramparts of the fort, overlooking the river. Lunch is served in a shady, leafy courtyard or on the patio. Candlelit dinners are served in the garden by the pool or on the terrace. Maheshwar is an all inclusive hotel so all meals, soft drinks, beverages of all kinds, and snacks are included, along with boating and all local excursions.
There is one suite with separate sitting room and a spacious balcony overlooking the temples and the river, seven superior rooms with either balcony or river view, four standard rooms and two luxurious tents with spectacular river views set in a private garden. The rooms are prettily furnished in neutral, natural fabrics.
This untouched corner of India has a plethora of things to do and see including the city of Mandu or the island temple of Omkareshwar. You can take a boat out on the river at sunset for a memorable and unforgettable experience. Ahilya Fort is a place where guests return time and time again, and everyone leaves with a heavy heart.
Ahilya Fort can now be easily accessed from Rajasthan or a finale to visiting the tiger circuits in Madhya Pradesh. The experience is everything, and by going there you will justly rewarded.
The Ahilya Fort offers two Regal Suites with private balcony, eight Princely Rooms, two Standard Rooms and two air-cooled tents. All Princely and Regal rooms have air-conditioning. Suites feature a separate sitting room and a spacious balcony. All rooms have plenty of hot water provided by the geyser, overhead fans, air coolers and tea and coffee making machines, safe, mini fridge, and an en-suite bathroom.

Cultural activities include visits to the historic, deserted city of Mandu, the fort at Dhar, the island temple of Omkareshwar, walks around the walled city of Maheshwar and the ghats, visits to the local handloom houses, the city of Indore and swimming in the river at the Thousand Waterfalls. Other activities include boat trips to the Baneshwar Temple in the middle of the river and birdwatching.
For me, staying at Ahilya has been one of my most touching Indian experience. Not only does staying at the fort feel like you have been immersed into a family, it is also a great opportunity to calmly explore a part of India that feels untouched by international influences. I really loved the excitement of all the people we met when walking along the ghats, watching people swim in the holy waters and join in devotional ceremonies. It felt like a much calmer and smaller Varanasi!
When you stay at Ahilya Fort many of the experiences in the local area are included. During your free time, why not visit the Ahilya School, stroll along the Narmada River or wander around the beautiful Baneshwar Temple.
Ahilya Fort overlooks the sacred Narmada River in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh. Maheshwar is a sacred Hindu place, emphasised by the many small temples set within the fort walls.
8-hour 30-minute international flight to Mumbai Chattrapathi Shivaji Airport, followed by a 1-hour domestic flight to Indore Airport. Ahilya Fort is situated 91kms from Indore Airport, a 2-hour drive.

Thais Narciso, Regional Technical Advisor for Africa at UN Environment, Kenya.
What drives you to be involved in the forestry sector?
I work in this space because forests are the essence of life – food, water, climate regulation, etc. - and very little is known about their crucial role in underpinning economy, society, and culture in the planet. I come from a country where the drivers of growth depend on agricultural commodity production and are inextricably linked to deforestation. Reversing this unfortunate connection has always been incredibly important to me. Besides, few things make me as happy and serene as a long forest hike! While the policy work I do is slow and bound to show results in the long-term only, policy frameworks create space for government action. Making players with conflicting interests speak is a first step to conceiving viable solutions.
Why are forests important to you from your perspective as a woman?
On a philosophical sense, the essential elements of femininity – cyclical body processes marked by menstruation, the ability to generate and nurture life, sensitivity and intuition – very much reflect the natural processes that govern forest ecosystems. In many cultures, women hold the key to the medicinal values of forests and healing. On a more practical sense, household food security, nutrition, access to fuelwood energy are domains of women and underpin their relationship to forests in rural settings. Being a woman makes me aware of how hard it is to have women voices captured in decision-making processes. It also makes me conscious of how women participation is lacking in efforts to secure access to more resource-efficient practices in the forestry sector.
How can we ensure that there is more participation and leadership taken by women in the forestry sector?
I often work in urban policy circles in Africa and it is very hard to ask government counterparts to limit the number of male stakeholders in order to ensure more women come. These efforts tend to lead to junior women being sometimes invited, and they are often not empowered to shape debates. The structural reality is that men tend to manage policy processes in the forestry sector in Africa. However, there are many women influencing key discussions on natural resource management. These voices need to be identified, uplifted and amplified. These women must have a key role in local capacity-building. The ripple effect of such actions, even if long-term, can be huge. Identification and empowerment of woman leaders is very important.

Dear Editor:
Gwenyfar Rohler's article "Live Local. Live Small" [from the June 8 edition] describes the importance of infill growth in development in urban areas such as Wilmington's downtown. Wilmington downtown began as a successful revitalization effort in the early Eighties and several years thereafter began a gradual process of re-development. Infill is vital in shaping through structured composition, to any major and minor urban settings. It is crucial the right size, architecture, color, height and uses fit within all city code, zoning and historical district requirements. More importantly to this urban forming is that infill maintains the character of downtown, especially for the now, and how it looked and functioned in the past.
Along Water Street there are a number of vacant parcels that will have major infill development occur with multi functional (mixed uses) and varied land uses. The old Ice House Parcel, the former Wachovia Building site (The View project), and the Water Street parking deck are key areas of infill that will eventually occur. This infill is significant because it will build upon Wilmington's existing and not always noted skyline. By placing key and new structures in these parcels makes great strenglet [sic] to the already existing post card look of Downtown Wilmington.
Thousands of cities across the U.S., small and large, under revitalization and redevelopment phases, would give anything to have what Downtown Wilmington has to offer: the selected pattern of European and variations of architecture types in the central business district that draw to the core of commercial and urban residential uses. There are structures that still are occupied and used that were built 200 years ago.
Wilmington downtown is surrounded by residential neighborhoods with resemblance of antebellum era and pre-revolutionary living. This all is what makes downtown Wilmington and its living history a key representation of a true and old port city. Thanks for the explanation and significance of 'infill' by Rohler's article and her view of Wilmington through special lenses.
I'm the former town planner of the Town of Shallote, a Wilmington native, a rural and urban planner and dweller.
Great article!

So this week's assignments are finally available for viewing, and boy is it interesting :grins:
well….for me at least…
This week is all about animation and television and I not only need to watch an episode of X-Men Revolution, I'm reading the script for that specific episode. I'm rather delighted since I used to watched it in KidsWB :reminiscing: Oh, memories….
But what I am looking forward to the most is that I'll be able to choose between writing a small script for either animation or television and guess what I'm choosing :).
I know I'll probably be brain dead by the end of the week (something that is happening lately -.-) but it's all worth it. Not only am I writing, but I'm writing for what I enjoy, and to me, that's a big deal.
I hope to learn from this week and hopefully be able to start using it for my own story, since I need to start figuring out what exactly my thesis will concentrate on…oh boy….
Productive Today?
You bet! :). I wrote my characters' backstories and believe me, I not only answer a questionnaire for all my characters (which is helpful!), I try to figure the month, the blood type, favorite color, etc for each and every one of them. Yeah, it is time consuming but it helps me understand them all.
I also read the script to Beauty and the Beast. One of my favorite movies :).
Well that's all I have for today, so hope you all have a wonderful week!

To be perfectly honest, I think everyone should be doing everything that they can to get away from toxic chemical products and switch to natural products (especially homemade), but I think that as Pagans, we have a greater responsibility to the earth, and we should set a higher standard for ourselves and those around us.
I think we can all agree that paganism is widely referred to as an "earth-based" spirituality. We connect to the the earth and all that it has to offer, and we respect it and what grows and lives upon it. For that reason, it seems sensible that we'd all try to go for natural products that are less likely to harm ourselves, our children, the animals of the planet, and the environment.
It's become so easy to just go to the store and buy a toxic product. I understand that. They're usually cheaper than the natural ones, because going natural has become trendy. (Which is really sad, in my opinion.) Even the ingredients for natural products can be expensive, if you fall into the trap of buying things labeled as natural or organic. (Or buy from craft stores.) The thing is, if you know what you're looking for and you're willing to put in a little effort, you can actually get and make natural alternatives pretty easily and affordably.
I think that the effort and time should be well worth it for anyone who claims to follow an earth based religion or path. You can't really be respecting the earth and polluting it at the same time. I know that in this day and age, it's nearly impossible to go fully natural, but I think we should be doing our very best. If there are things that we can swap out that are better for us and the environment, we certainly should.
I think it's also part of our responsibility to our faith and our planet to share as much information as we can about going natural. I try to share recipes and DIYs whenever I come up with something, and I think we all should. Learning how to make natural alternatives should be easy for anyone. The more we share, the more good we do. Sharing these tips with each other is also a great way to bond with one another.
One of the other bonuses to making and using natural products, as a Pagan, is that you can really make those products magickal. What if your air freshener helped open your third eye? What if your carpet powder cleansed your space of negative energies? That can be done when you go natural, especially if you make your own products. There's also a certain kind of ritual and magic in making your own natural products. You get to have that sense of accomplishment, you know you're doing a good thing for your family and the planet, and you're really connecting to the essence of every ingredient and what it does for you both practically and spiritually.
So, do you make and/or use natural products? Do you feel that Pagans have a greater responsibility to the earth as part of our path? Leave your comments below.

Hacking the curve: do less, but do it better
I step into the office of MIT postdoc Calvin C. Newport PhD '09, and his dog Bailey greets me with a couple of excited, energetic yips, prancing back and forth between the open door and the room's strange intruder. Newport watches with amusement from behind a thermos full of coffee. So here's the man behind How to Win at College, written while he was still an undergraduate at Dartmouth, and Study Hacks, a study skills blog () with over 19,000 readers. Here's the man who preaches "less is more, even when it comes to school," and I get the sense that he applies this generously to his own life. He pursues his interests passionately, saying, "My friends and I had an N64, so we tried to master every level of Mario Kart." He gives himself enough free space to create an enjoyable life.

It's not very often that I turn my little piece of the web over to another point of view, but today is an exception. The subject of rape is one that is often whispered about in circles. The question of who is to blame often rises its ugly head.
Todays topic explores the pain and stigma of rape. It is not for the faint of heart but it is an issue that needs to be discussed.
For far to long society has quieted the screams of the abused. Blaming them for an attack against their body and soul. No longer should people be judged for wanting to cry out no more. To end the abuse, to shine a light into those dark corners where long hidden family secrets and shame lie.
With that I give Nikki the floor.

Villa Tanju Bali in Cemagi, Bali
What makes Tanju Bali so different is its privacy and a non-commercial atmosphere that never sacrifices professionalism. As you arrive and the doors shut behind you, a row of Buddhist stone figures form a guard of honor. The path gently winds down, over a small bridge, past flowers and fountains to the villa. There is an ensemble of four very different small villas on the property, openly designed and sensitively furnished.
Tanju Bali sits on a rise, separated from the sea by a strip of beach, with a view of the majestic rock formation in the water where the sun goes down. An ancient temple appears on the left of the rock. The architecture of the villa is classic Balinese, spacious with deep wood tones. The houses are arranged on the property with sure intuition: none blocks another's view of the sea.
You can sense that this is a place of privilege before you even arrive. The way from the airport to Tanju Bali goes past restaurants and shops, through avenues and streets packed with chic young people on Vespas. A couple of minutes later comes the turnoff and the landscape changes to bright green rice fields. Suddenly the view opens up and before you lies the sea and rock formations. Curving to the right is the beginning of a small, private coastal road. In a moment a beautiful ancient temple set on a spur of rock in the ocean comes into view. And there is Tanju Bali, right out of a storybook, a glimpse of paradise.

Sr. Ellen Leonard Co-edits a Book for Joanne McWilliam
"Joanne McWilliam taught me at St. Michael's in my doctoral studies. As a woman in theology and religious studies she mentored many graduate students. I am grateful for her inspiration and friendship over many years," said Sister Ellen of her relationship with Joanne. Sister Ellen co-edited the book From Logos to Christos: Essays on Christology in Honour of Joanne McWilliam with Kate Merriman. "The editing was a work of love," she said.
Joanne McWilliam was the first layperson to receive the PhD in Theology from the University of St. Michael's College in 1968. She served as a teacher and mentor for many women during the next forty years.
The 14 ys on Christology by friends and colleagues are a fitting tribute to a woman who pioneered in the academic study of theology and religious studies, preparing the way for other women in these fields. The book launch took place on Nov. 4 at Seeley Hall, Trinity College, Toronto, with many of Joanne's colleagues, family, friends and a number of our Sisters.

"At the end of the day, the position is just a position, a title is just a title, and those things come and go. It's really your essence and your values that are important." – Queen Rania of Jordan
I received an email yesterday that my credit card was double billed for my WordPress "no ads" feature and that they will credit my account. The title of the person who sent it is "Happiness Engineer." Now that's something to aspire to!
We often focus on titles and comparisons rather than on who we are and how we treat others, regardless of "position." We all can be leaders and happiness engineers by getting outside of our own head/feelings and engaging authentically with others. Kindness and caring can change the world.
Lighten up and take on the new title of "happiness engineer" and see what kind of happiness you can engineer today. Cast light on that person next to you and pull them out of their worries and burdens, if only for a moment.
Awesome title!! If everyone would do that what a wonderful world it would be! Cute pooch pic! Looks like the one dog is telling the other one a secret! 🙂 have a wonderful weekend! Hugz Lisa and BearJanuary 10, 2015

Badly behaved visitors anger Wuhan University students during peak cherry blossom season
Spring weather has arrived in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, as crowds of locals and tourists were out enjoying its iconic cherry blossoms that have reached full bloom since last week. For students at Wuhan University, having hundreds of cherry blossom trees on campus can be a blessing — or a nightmare, if tourists flocking to the school show zero respect for the precious spectacle.
On March 24, the official Weibo account of Wuhan University published a video of a visitor hopping fences to shake the branches of a cherry blossom tree for a petal "rain." Accompanying the man's questionable conduct are cheers from other tourists on the scene and opposition from a few students. "You can't shake that tree! You are not allowed to shake that tree," said one student, whose voice was clearly captured in the clip.
The footage was first posted on social media by a student who witnessed the whole incident. In the description of the video, the angry student said that the misbehaving man, visibly drunk, first jiggled a branch while repeatedly asking his child at full volume, "Does it look beautiful?" When he approached another tree, a male student came forward asking him to leave. But after resting for a brief moment, the man started to shake trees again and shouted, "Let me see who dares to stop me! Does it look beautiful?" to which his child replied, "Beautiful!"
"We don't welcome tourists like you. This pretty much sums up how you behave in your entire life and how your child will be like when he grows up," the student wrote in the description. "Someday, you will be punished for your stupid behavior."
The video soon attracted a lot of attention after the university reposted it on Weibo, urging visitors to "treat cherry blossoms respectfully" and not to "harm grass and flowers."
Wuhan University is one of the most popular spots to catch a glimpse of cherry blossoms in the city. Though it's documented that the school's history of sakura — the Japanese name for cherry blossoms — can be traced back to 1939, when some Japanese soldiers introduced about 30 cherry blossom trees to the school during the Second Sino-Japanese War as a symbol of occupation, and the number of sakura trees continued to grow in the subsequent years, it was not until recent years that the campus became flooded with tourists craving social media-friendly cherry blossom photos during the peak season.
To restrain the influx of tourists, Wuhan University initially sold tickets to an on-campus sakura tour every year. But as many people argued that the cherry blossom trees that the school owned are public assets, the university decided to offer free access to every tourist as long as they booked a visiting time online.
The welcoming policy, however, soon backfired, as many tourists were caught shaking, kicking, or climbing trees for pure fun or a perfect snap.
Outside Wuhan University, rude and violent behavior toward cherry blossom trees was spotted in other parts of China. Last week, a man was caught kicking the trunk of a cherry blossom tree on a street in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the same location where a middle-aged woman was also photographed climbing on a sakura tree in high heels. After their misbehavior was exposed, local authorities in Nanjing warned that any tourists caught damaging natural property would face fines and even be blacklisted from certain areas.

The Arts NOW series curated by composer Rodney Waschka II of the NC State University Music Department can be counted on for presenting unusual and interesting performers and composers, and the concert by marimbist Juan Álamo was no exception. Álamo is a recent arrival for the music faculty at UNC Chapel Hill, where he directs the Percussion Ensemble. The evening began with a composition by Álamo, "Remembrance," in which he immediately impressed with a masterful four-mallet technique. The work was modal and rhapsodic, with enough variety to sustain a relatively long arc. Next up was "Marimba d'Amore" by Keiko Abe, an evocation of love which includes the well-known chanson "Plaisir d'amour."
Providing contrast between the three sets of solo marimba works were two "tape" works – that is, pre-recorded electroacoustic compositions. The first was the long and relatively tranquil Etude (2002), based on Latin chant, by Pablo Furman, an Argentine now working at San Jose State in California, and a name that was new to me. Considerably different in affect was "Left to His Own Devices" (1996) by Eric Chasalow, with the title taken from an uncompleted work by Milton Babbitt. The piece marked Babbitt's 80th birthday and makes use of Babbitt's recorded voice among its materials. The whole effect was both modern and satirical, and reminiscent in some ways of Frank Zappa's explorations from the late sixties.
The second marimba set began with the Nocturne No. 2 by Kit Mills, formerly of North Carolina, and now residing in the Northwest. The work is relatively traditional in language, triadic, with regular arpeggios. It was followed by "Samba para eschuchar tu silencio" by Argentinian composer Guillo Espel with sonorities that were relatively jazzy in contrast to what had gone before. The same was true for "I Will See You Again," written by Álamo in memory of his late brother-in-law. (Although the evening's program did not include jazz standards or improvisation, Álamo's background includes a minor in jazz during his studies at the University of North Texas).
The evening closed with "Chameleon" by French percussionist Eric Sammut and an evocation by Álamo of 19th century salon music from his native Puerto Rico (imagine an elaborate social dance accompanied by piano), his "Estampas Borincanas."
Álamo's concentration and musicality cast a spell over the young audience during the predominantly lyrical works (no hint of dodecaphonics or atonality here), and he was a charming presence in talking about the works he was presenting. A lovely and memorable evening.
The next Arts NOW concert will be October 15 - for information, click here. Other events in this series are in our calendar.

Info for Awase
"Awase", a term from martial arts, means "moving together" in the sense of matching energies, a fitting metaphor for the dynamic precision, tessellated grooves and balletic minimalism of Nik Bärtsch's Ronin. Six years have passed since the last release from the Swiss group. In the interim, trimmed from quintet to quartet size and with new bassist Thomy Jordi fully integrated, Ronin has become a subtly different band. Bärtsch speaks of a new-found freedom and flexibility in the approach to the material, with "greater transparency, more interaction, more joy in every performance". The freedom here extends to revisiting early Bärtsch modules alongside new compositions including, for the first time on a Ronin record, a piece by reedman Sha. Awase was recorded at Studios La Buissonne in the south of France in October 2017 and produced by Manfred Eicher.

RITUAL GROOVE MUSIC, the title of my first CD, also points to the fundamental concept of my musical thinking. The music shows a close affinity to architecturally organized space and is governed by the principles of repetition and reduction as well as by interlocking rhythms. A piece of music can be entered, inhabited like a room. It moves forward and transforms through obsessive circular movements, superimposition of different meters and micro-interplay. The listeners attention is directed toward minimal variations and phrasing. The band becomes an integral organism - like an animal, a habitat, an urban space. One must think with ears and hands.
Normally, we work in three distinct formations. The group MOBILE plays purely acoustic music, performed in rituals of up to 36 hours, including light- and room design. The Zen-funk quartet RONIN, by contrast, is more flexible and plays the compositions more freely. As a solo performer I perform my compositions on prepared piano with percussion.
Despite the tightly organized compositional construction, improvisation plays an important role in our music. On the one hand, accentuation, ghost notes, and variations within a composition are tossed back and forth between the musicians; on the other hand, a particular voice within a composition might have more freedom than the others. In doing so, that voice forms an independent module that can interact with the strictly notated interlocking patterns in continuously changing ways. Groove-habitats or void musical space of raw poetry emerge.
My thinking and music are based on the tradition of urban space. They are not distilled from a national or stylistic tradition but from the universal sound of cities. The city in its roaring diversity requires an ability to focus and concentrate on the essential: to measure one's actions, to remain silent at the right place. This music draws its energy from the tension between compositional precision and the self-circumvention of improvisation. From self-implied restriction stems freedom. Ecstasy through asceticism.
was born in 1983. He is a composer and plays the saxophone and the bass clarinet. Among his teachers are Don Li, Nik Bärtsch, Sujay Bobade and Bänz Oester. Sha studied at the Jazz School in Lucerne and graduated with a double master with distinction. He is the leader of his own band 'Sha's Feckel' (till 2011 of 'Sha's Banryu'). Sha has worked with Walter Grimmer, Michael Gassmann, Philipp Schaufelberger, Anja Losinger and Claudio Puntin.
Andi Pupato
Andi was born in 1971 in Zurich. He studied percussion in Zurich, later at the Escuela de superación profesional de musica Ignacio Cervantes in Havana, Cuba and with José Luis "Changuito" in Quintana. In 1994, Andi went to Senegal with the Senegalese master drummer Kounta's band 'Dougou-Fana', where he studied traditional African percussion. At present, he works as a percussionist for various national and international bands (with Andreas Vollenweider among others) and is an active studio musician.
Kaspar Rast
Kaspar was born in 1972 in Zurich. He has been playing drums since the age of 6. Education as violinmaker. Trained at the JMS in Zurich and the Drummers Collective in New York. Kaspar's list of concerts and tours covers Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America. He works in various Swiss musical formations (also in Sha's band 'Sha's Feckel') and projects, plays sessions and acts as a studio musician.
Thomy Jordi
Thomy was born 1963 in Zurich. He studied double bass at the Swiss Jazz School and electric bass at the MIT Hollywood with Jeff Berlin. He was part of the swiss punkjazz-movement in the early 80's and toured Europe with freefunk-bands like Donkey Kongs Multiscream and The Intergalactic Maidenballet. In 1988 Thomy moved to Berlin, where he had the chance to perform and record with local and international Worldmusic artists. He also got involved with the german pop-scene. Thomy played the bass for Rosenstolz on most of their albums and toured with them from 2002 to 2009. He was also a member of genius comedian-musician Helge Schneider's Rock project The Firefuckers. Zurich-based songwriter Adrian Weyermann invited Thomy to join his band in 2006. Nik Baertsch met Thomy in 2004 in Tokyo, Japan, where he studied Japanese. Back in his hometown, Thomy started to frequently sit in with Nik Baertsch's RONIN on Mondays. In sommer 2011 bassist RONIN's original bass player Björn Meyer left the band on friendly terms and Thomy replaced him. Except being a member of RONIN, he is working with Adrian Stern and teaching at the conservatories in Luzern and Basel.

In the end it really does not matter what material it is made of as long as it meets the advertised specs... which it does and always has. The hitch is designed for light weight towing when properly installed and weight limits are observed.If it were a forged piece I would have more confidence but it is cast steel. LR needs to man up and offer a solution to owners of older vehicles.
Just because someone has a hitch available does not mean they should be towing anything they like. Just because a rig has a V8 does not mean they can tow more weight. When you see some pimple faced kid with no experience rents a moving trailer to someone with obviously no experience towing it can hardly be the fault of hitch company if something goes wrong. In our area we have quite a few bridges. Several times a year some overloaded moron will loose their load and snarl traffic because they knew nothing about proper loading, tongue weight, sheer forces, wind loading... etc. Should these folks complain to Reese, UHaul, GM, Ford etc because if the system was built stronger their ignorance would not have been an issue?
LR can hardly needs to "man up" or offer anything to people that are unable to properly use the equipment offered. You can not engineer or manufacture for stupidity because there will always be someone with no common sense or thinks that designed limits do not apply to their situation.

How Successful Search Agents Find Off-Market Properties
How Successful Search Agents Find Off-Market Properties
Successful search agents rely on a depth of local knowledge which can only be learned over many years of working in property in a particular area. Since the property business is as much about 'who you know as what you know', this detailed knowledge of the area combined with a powerful network is why Jennie Hancock is such a pioneering, successful search agent in West Sussex. Jennie reveals how her deep understanding of the local area and her exclusive network uncovered a hidden gem for a fortunate client.
The Client's Brief
Jennie's client, who had been registered for approximately 6 months gave a detailed brief for their desired property. Primarily, a unique location within a 5-mile range of local schools as the client emphasised the importance of an easy school run. Compared to the location, the client noted that the square footage of the property was not of equivalent importance.
"Patience is key for both search agent and client. If you are prepared to wait you can be rewarded with a wonderful property." - Jennie Hancock
Acquiring Off-Market Property
A chance conversation with an acquaintance alerted Jennie to the imminent sale of a particular property she had first encountered in 1997. Initially owned by the Goodwood estate, the original cottage burned down in 1992, leading to the owners employing prestigious Sussex architect Neil Holland to help lead the reconstruction. Neil designed a versatile, beautiful, Georgian house; the aesthetics honouring the style of the era the house originated from.
The Rubbing house is built from brick and flint, with a separate coach house, terrace, and gardens, boasting beautiful views of The Trundle, The South Downs, Goodwood Race Course, Chichester Harbour, and The Isle of Wight.
The Work of a Search Agent
Acting immediately on the conversation regarding the imminent sale, Jennie initiated the process of acquiring this property based on the similarity between the features of this house and the client's brief. Her concrete network led her to leading estate agent Savills' offices in London and Petworth, who assisted her in the property evaluation. Jennie then swiftly organised a viewing for her client, leading to the acquisition of this exclusive property before the house was listed publicly. The beauty of the transaction was that it worked perfectly for both buyer and seller as the seller avoided a barrage of viewings with Jennie's introduction of one strong committed buyer.
All parties were delighted, not least the new owner of this remarkable house: "Jennie provided a first-class service throughout the transaction and crucially, using her wealth of contacts established over 30 years in the property industry, managed to source a unique, dream house completely off market".
If you would like to work with Jennie to uncover your ideal property, please contact Property Acquisitions on 01243 531133, or email email@example.com

Actor Luke Wilson, Pro Golfer Bill Haas, Involved in Fatal Car Crash
February 14, 2018
Dallas native Luke Wilson was driving a Toyota SUV when a speeding Ferrari clipped the front of his car and then slammed into a BMW. The driver of the Ferrari was killed. The Ferrari passenger, who happened to be pro-golfer Bill Haas, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. His father, former pro-golfer Jay Haas, says Bill was released from the hospital early this morning and is expected to make a full recovery. The driver of the BMW, a 50-year-old woman, was also injured and taken to the hospital. Her condition is unknown. Wilson was not seriously hurt. 35-year-old Haas, a six-time PGA Tour winner, was in town for this weekend's Genesis Open. Police are investigating the accident.

In a potential game-changer for surfing, professional surfer Kelly Slater has unveiled — at least partially — what he calls the world's greatest man-made wave.
He calls it a "freak of technology."
On Friday, he published video of himself surfing a working prototype of the "first truly world-class, high-performance, human-made waves." The video has garnered more than 4 million views on Facebook within three days.
The Dec. 5 session marked Slater's first time surfing the wave, he said.
"It was an insane day," Slater said in a Facebook post. "I'm still a little in disbelief, and trying to process how much fun this wave is, but it certainly feels like this is going to change a lot of perceptions about human-made waves."
The project is in an undisclosed location 110 miles from the coast.
In a frenzy after the video was released, surfing writers tried to figure out where Slater's secret project was developed and realized, pinning it down to a rural former water-ski lake near Lemoore, about 30 miles south of Fresno.
Slater said his crew could have put out a lesser wave years ago, but they waited till they had it just right.
"I've been waiting for this moment since 2005," Slater said in the video. "Glad we waited all that time to do the right thing because this is the best man-made wave ever made, for sure. No doubt about it."
Kelly Slater Wave Co. and the 43-year-old pro plan to share more details about the project in coming weeks and months.

Vang Vieng (also Vang Viang) is a riverside town in Central Laos.
Once no one could ride a bus changing stations on the long haul between Vientiane at the Thai border and the World Heritage Site of Luang Prabang. It has managed to become a destination in its own right. Still not much more than three streets and a bus station.
The main attractions are the river, laid back countryside and cave-filled rock formations. To anyone who's been travelling anywhere in South East Asia, you've no doubt heard about "Tubing", an activity that dominates the town and its visitors.
Originally opened up by hedonistic backpackers, the city's predominant ambiance is one of lethargy by day and debauchery by night.
Tourists sprawl out in the pillow-filled restaurants, termed "TV Bars", watching re-runs of US sitcoms, Friends and Family Guy episodes until the sun goes down, and then party heavily until the early hours.
Nevertheless, there is a growing number of more sedate foreign sightseers. The breathtaking views are definitely worth a trip - we even have Vang Vieng listed on our top list, despite the party.
Our service for you - your travel checklist:
...and have fun!

So Kim Kardashian debuted a surprising new look for half-sister Kendall Jenner's 19th birthday earlier this week. Missing something there, KK?
The 34-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star's face looked dramatically different when she took to Instagram to share snaps of her enjoying her model sister's intimate celebrations.
Where Kim's expertly arched Armenian brows used to sit were two very blank spaces, made all the more striking by the fact that Kim was standing next to pow-brow queen, Cara Delevingne.
'About last night… #KendallsBDayParty #DontBeScaredOfMyBleachedBrows #ItsForAPhotoShoot', the mum-of-one captioned the snap.
We've seen Cara lose her brows before when she got her bleach on for the Givenchy runway back at London Fashion Week. And Kendall's also had a bleach out for Marc Jacobs.
But considering Kim's raven black locks, tanned skin and dark brown eyes, her missing brows are all the more startling. What a difference a brow makes, eh?
Kim then shared a second snap of her, Ms D and hubby Kanye West alongside another brow-related hashtag: 'EyebrowsOnFleek.'
Latest Stories
Brow-less beauty aside, we're just excited to see Kim and Cara hanging out again after that oh-so-mysterious hook up of theirs.
Last month, the two stars shared a sneak peek Instagram snap of a new joint shoot, styled by Love Magazine Editor Katie Grand, and got the whole world excited about this surprising high fashion collab.
But back to the brows – is this one beauty trend you'd dare to try? Let us know below…

If you knew there were things you could do to help you live longer, would you do them?
That is an interesting question for which we already have a partial answer. We already know what we should eat, that we should exercise, drink alcohol in moderation and more. Yet as we look around us, it is evident that many people are not willing to make what they might see as the sacrifices needed to live longer. And we know that our genes also play an important part in this.
With Timeless, author Louis Cozolino, Ph.D., offers us additional insights into how to live not just longer, but healthier and happier lives. And his book suggests to me that the way to do it might be easier than modifying our diet or other behaviors (although most professionals would likely advise all).
Our society has taught us that old age equals decline, or even loss, of our abilities. However, Cozolino claims that isn't necessarily so, or at least it does not have to be. He also clears up many misconceptions about "old age" that we have accepted for centuries despite the significant growth in life expectancy.
For instance, we currently have a national debate about the appropriate retirement age. Social Security eligibility may need to begin later for solvency reasons, but many people continue working past the age of 65 or 66, either because they need the income or they like to work.
But there is a practical side to this conversation. According the Cozolino, 65 as a suitable retirement age began when Otto von Bismarck of Prussia offered a retirement pension to soldiers at the age of 65 at a time when life expectancy was 66! However, in 1889 he also guided Prussia to a retirement pension program for workers that began at age 70. And in the U.S., we still consider 65 or 66 as "normal" for retirement despite that the average life expectancy has increased from 61 when Social Security was enacted to close to 80 now. So society tells us, in part, when we are "old", or at least old enough to stop working, regardless of how we might feel.
Timeless tells us that the most important factor in our living longer, healthier, and happier lives is a healthy brain. And the author goes on to report that a healthy brain is best achieved by social interaction and stimulation. These are possible as we age, if we look for them. Timeless provides a lot of information about how to do that, as well as other information that provides us with perspective on aging.
The book provides an important education on the brain's development, structure, and function. Cozolino describes our brain's communication process, the development of neurons throughout life (not just when we are children), and more. Where we used to research only diseased brains of older people to learn what changed, we now also explore healthy brains to see what might have made those individuals healthier or happier.
In the third section of the book, the emphasis is on wisdom and maturing emotion. While older people typically do not react as quickly as younger people, it is often suspected that the older people are taking the time to draw upon many years of experiences and tempering their responses. With decades of experience handling different situations and challenges, older people can employ their wisdom to develop a tactful yet effective response to a problem.
The final section of Timeless is about taking care of yourself and your relationships. With social interaction such a key component of healthy aging, this makes sense. Often as we age we become more isolated instead of more social. With families located in different parts of the county or beyond, relationships with friends can take on greater importance. Despite our technological tools for communication, face-to-face interaction is still important.
Dr. Cozolino has written a very informative and helpful book. It is written in a style that is readable and understandable. With a reported 10,000 individuals becoming 65 each day, there are many who would find this book inspirational and educational. Older adults may also have the advantage of perspective as they read the book.
Timeless is a timely and worthwhile reading.

Top Ten Books from Singapore you must read
By Mitali Chakravarty
Singapore has completed more than half a century of independent existence. It is now a thriving country with an intrinsic personality of its own. What went into making Singapore a distinctive island cannot be just found in history books but between the borders of fact and fantasy, where lingers fiction that tunes us to the distinct flavour of this unique metropolitan city-state.
As Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father said in one of his speeches, Singapore started with people of "many races who speak many languages, who worship different gods, who have different diet habits" and yet they all unified under the banner of a single flag. The kind of culture that evolves out of the union of these diversities is best explored in stories that are of the people, by the people and for the people.
These are some novels that showcase the culture and history of Singapore and how it evolved out of the colonial past to become what it is today. These are all books that focus on issues against the backdrop of a national landscape. The issues addressed transcend to become larger than the personal. Some of the writers are Singapore Literature Prize and S.E.A. Write Award winners and have been translated to multiple languages.
- 1819 by Isa Kamari: Translated from Malay into multiple languages, including English, it takes us back to the date Raffles set foot on the island. It explains how the colonial British Malaya, of which Singapore was a part, came into existence, with a larger focus on the Malay community. An easy smooth read, it is interesting to see the influence opium had in shaping the history of British trade and expansion.
2. A Bit of Earth by Suchen Christine Lim: Though geographically set mainly in that part British Malaya that now belongs to Malaysia, this novel captures the pioneering spirit that makes Singapore what it is today. The rags to riches story of a Chinese immigrant and how he evolves from an absolute pauper into a force to be reckoned with is the story of many towkays (a business owner or boss). When the protagonist is sent back to his land because of a single 'transgression', one wonders at the colonials — was that just or unjust ? One has to read to decide … An enchanting novel that weaves through the intricacies of plot and the multiplicity of races and ethos, it is truly emblematic of the distinctive Pernakan culture that evolved in the Peninsula. The novel leaves a lingering sense of yearning when its ends. One wishes it did not end…
- Singapore Saga: Chasing the Dragon by John D Greenwood: John D Greenwood is an American professor, but he did a lot of research during his tenure in Singapore and came up with three books that defines The Singapore Saga. The second book of the saga, Chasing the Dragon, gives the story of not just the colonials but of their perception of the 'natives' and the early pioneers. It is interesting to see how far the colonials were willing to go for gold, glory and God. He has also focused on how Singapore played an important role in South East Asian history.
4. Rawa by Isa Kamari: A novel spanning an era when Singapore came to its own. It starts with the Orang Seletar, the original inhabitants of the island who drifted between the different islands of Malaya, and to their resettlement into the modern city state, into iconic HDB houses. It refers back to Singapore's 700-year-old past. Touching upon issues that go hand in hand with development and the spread of modern civilisation, it is a lovely read and an unstoppable one!
- A Different Sky by Meira Chand: This novel spreads across forty of the most transitional years in Singapore's life when from being a part of British Malaya, it evolved to part of Malaysia and lastly to Singapore. Meira Chand has woven history, facts and fiction with such skill that the book is unputdownable. A compelling read that shuttles between different time frames and creates a feeling of the passing of an era… how Singapore evolved and changed with its spray of races and intermarriages.
6. Bondmaid by Catherine Lim: A novel that deals with an affluent Chinese family and the tragic love story of a bondmaid and her young master, it perhaps helps us wonder how efficacious were the colonial laws? That bondmaids continued in British Singapore, despite the attempts to abolish slavery that have been chronicled in classics like 1819 and also mentioned in Chasing the Dragon is amazing! Contrasts are created between the opulence of the rich household and the poverty and sordidness of the home and relatives of the bondmaid. The story gives a glimpse into the concerns of Chinese immigrants in the 1940s and 1950s, though the plot and narrative leaves one wanting.
- Fistful of Colours by Suchen Christine Lim: The novel that won the first Singapore Literature Prize lasts the duration of a single train journey, but it uncovers both the past heritage and the current day concerns of a young woman, torn asunder by her emotional needs. It takes the reader on a journey through immigrant stories of all races — Chinese, Indian, Malay and Eurasian… A powerful way of telling Singapore history and how it arrived at its present multi-cultural perceptions, where race boundaries are overcome to create a truly heterogenous population and a smooth and easy read.
8. State of Emergency by Jeremy Tiang: Winner of the 2018 side of Singapore Literature Prize, the novel highlights a lesser known side of Singapore history, the leftist movements and the political detentions in Singapore and Malaysia from 1940s onwards. The telling is done by the stories and memories of the extended Low family members. A book that dwells on concerns that would deal with only a small group of people, it finds the voice of dissenters in Singapore.
- The Magic Circle by Charmaine Chan: Shortlisted for the Singapore Literature Prize 2018, this memoir takes us on a whirlwind tour of Singapore, where nurtured by the developmental efforts of the government, Singaporeans move on to larger concerns and adopt the whole world as their home. The only book to touch upon why often Taoists converted to Christianity, the telling journeys to the sunny side of Singapore and beyond, the more positive family structures, love and bereavement. These are all tied with the flavours of indigenous cuisines and complex relationships of families and friends! A read I thoroughly enjoyed.
10. Singapore Decalogue by Zafar Anjum: A large section of Singapore population is made up of newly arrived immigrants to date. Singapore Decalogue is the story of such an immigrant in the early 2000s. He evolves as he experiences different aspects of life and through his interactions with locals and more immigrants. It is brings out the issues faced by a newcomer to Singapore beautifully. The book is a smooth, quick and easy read, empathetic and leaves a lingering note in your heart. A book that I would unhesitatingly recommend.
