In south Rajasthan's Vagad region, a party from Gujarat is trying to woo voters banking on the undercurrent in the tribal belt.
The tribal-dominated region, which lies south of the Mewar and shares border with Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh in the south, has seen resentment against both BJP and Congress over the past few years.
Voters here say that none of the two took care of their rights. Banking on this, Gujarat-based Bhartiya Tribal Party or BTP, is reaching out to tribal voters, especially the younger population.
The party has even formed a large network of young men led by senior tribal leaders to canvass every nook and corner of the region. "Proper implementation of schedule five of the Constitution, which deals with scheduled areas, is our main agenda because both BJP and Congress suppressed tribals and have 'snatched' their lands," state chief of the party Velaram Ghoghra told PTI.
Mr Ghoghra is himself contesting from the Dungarpur constituency. Alongside him, the BPT has fielded 10 other candidates. The party is contesting on all four seats in Dungarpur, three of the five seats in Banswara and one seat each in Sirohi, Pratapgarh and Udaipur. Highlighting the "apathy" of tribals, Mr Ghogra said: "They are the custodians of the land but the situation today is that they have to stand along the roadside to seek employment."
He added, "Our people are migrating to other states, we have no local resources, electricity and water is another core issue. Youths are educated but they are unemployed and therefore a kind of unrest is developing. People from outside come and grab the lands of tribal." Ahead of this election, the situation has been such that both Congress and BJP have been putting in extra hours to ensure that seats here don't slip out of their hands.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress chief Rahul Gandhi have both toured the area. BTP was founded last year ahead of the Gujarat polls by former JDU legislator Chotubhai Vasava. It won two seats in Gujarat elections in alliance with Congress. In Rajasthan, the party has found strong support from students' group Bhil Vidhyarthi Morcha, which has been active in the tribal belt for over the last three years.
In union elections early this year, it won a substantial number of seats in Dungarpur colleges. Mr Ghoghra, an advocate of separate state for local ethnic groups, also said: "After the effective implementation of the scheduled 5, Bhil Pradesh will be our next major demand. We want a separate Bhil Pradesh comprising of tribal belt in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh."
There have been apprehensions that unrest among tribals may lead to a situation like in Maoist affected areas of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. Intelligence agencies have also expressed concern over certain activities in the region.
"Yes, there were reports about some sensitive activities in the area over the last two-three years. Some people from states like Telangana have held meetings here. We did whatever we could do," state Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria, who is contesting from Udaipur constituency, said.
He said that as far as BTP is concerned, it will not be able to hamper BJP's poll prospects. "We ensured that people get education and basic amenities in the tribal area. We have associated tribal people with our organisations and they (BTP)will not be able to win." On the other side, Congress state chief Sachin Pilot said that when his party was in power it did enough for the welfare of tribals in the state. "Congress has always focused on the welfare of tribal people. On coming to power, we will address their issues by bringing everyone together," he said.
Rajasthan will be voting for 199 seats of its 200-member Assembly on December 7. Results will be announced on December 11.

Earl Scruggs Passes On: Three Fingers, Hippie Kids + A Grace That's Felt 'Round The World
I'll never look at the Waffle House the same way. The one out by the Assault & Battery Lane exit, 65 South out of Nashville, called Harding Place before the name change.
It's actually on Sidco Drive, a parallel runner that's lower industrial strip malls. There's a Cracker Barrel for the more traditional Christian-types. Then there's our Waffle House, like an Island of Broken Toys for college kids trying, sobering up from benders, gay kids after whippets and dancing, old Nashville remembering and the occasional country star.
Everybody sits tucked away in formica veneer booths or at the counter on swivel stools, waiting on their Scattered, Smothered & Covered. Even him.
See, that's the thing about Earl Scruggs – bluegrass royalty, generational bridge, iconic artist and musical trailblazer – he was always at home with the slightly off-kilter.
You'd see him there. A lot. Especially after his lovely wife/manager/deal-squeezing wife Louise passed on. Or at first, you wouldn't see him. He'd just be. Maybe you'd go to pay your check, or else you'd notice how neat and pressed his denim pants seemed.
Wouldn't think much about the calm man sitting over his plate of eggs. Until you looked a little closer. Then WHAM! One of those only-in-Nashville moments: "Crap! That's Earl Scruggs!" the voice in your head would exclaim.
Mostly people didn't bother him much. Might stop and say a few words. You didn't bother stars at the Waffle House; you sure weren't gonna pile up on a legend trying to drink his coffee in the not-so-early morning hours.
I remember the first time. Sucked in by the demin pants. "Ahhh, what a nice looking older gentleman," I thought. I smiled, always a softie for serious grown-ups.
Raising my eyes to gaze into the countenance of this lovely man, I felt my jaw go slack. "Holy crap! It's Earl Scruggs…" I hoped it was uttered by my internal voice. He didn't really look, so the silence was my cover.
He looked up from his plate, met my eyes, smiled.
I smiled back. Dunce, yes, but not paralyzed with shock. Most likely, I was so surprised, I scanned as someone who had no clue, no notion that this was the man who invented the intricate 3-finger picking style that almost eradicated claw-hammer playing.
It was a genuine moment. Quiet, unseen, but engaged. He didn't need to show me his Grammys, he offered his heart. Sincerity and warmth is about as good as it gets.
See, Earl Scruggs might've been a master musician and innovator of the same caliber as Miles Davis or Coltrane, but he was more a man who sought to bring people together. As a player, his first break came in 1945 with Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys on the Grand Ole Opry, but it wasn't long until he and Lester Flatt teamed up and spent the '50s and '60s barn-storming the country – and creating a true frame for the Appalachian musical form that was all ache and flying fingers.
Flatt & Scruggs were icons. Standard-bearers. Gospel-carriers.
The audience was white, lower middle class, worked with their hands, backs hurting. But they found the Flatt & Scruggs sound vitalizing.
And then there were the hippies. When the '60s folk movement hit and the hippie generation erupted, Earl Scruggs – in part at the behest of his wife Louise – packed up his sons and took the Earl Scruggs Review to colleges across the nation.
With the Vietnam War in full throttle, college kids, protesting, and drugs making their way into the mainstream youth culture, musicianship and a yearning for authenticity made Scruggs the hottest ticket with the hippest kids. This was breaking ground and healing generational damage just by being who he was.
And who he was transcended what he was. Always a player of high execution and credibility, Scruggs also believed in music's transcendence. When country was as right as you could get and Jane Fonda the only woman more radical than Joan Baez, Scruggs couldn't wait to make music with her — recognizing the crystal clarity in her voice.
He also played with hippie sitar player Ravi Shankar, the folk-pop band the Byrds and Bob Dylan. The Eastern music and inscrutable lyrics engaging him in new and thrilling ways.
Which was really all Scruggs wanted: to be engaged, pushed, challenged, to see how far music could go. He was there when the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band recorded Will The Circle Be Unbroken and returned for Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Vol 2, produced by his acoustic guitar virtuoso son Randy Scruggs.
He was there at the Opry. With and without Flatt.
He was all about making music. When Steve Martin got serious about bluegrass, Scruggs was there. When Elton John wanted to play with a banjo man, he was there. Indeed, he was as comfortable with Billy Bob Thornton as he was Vince Gill or Marty Stuart – and folks like John Fogerty and Leon Russell clamored to play with the man who's in the Country Music Hall of Fame, has received the National Medal of the Arts, recorded Red, Hot & Country for the Red Hot Organization (which supports AIDS charities), and received a Grammy for his 1968 "Foggy Mountain Breakdown." He also wrote and recorded "The Ballad of Jed Clampitt" for "The Beverly Hillbillies."
It is vast, this legacy. Marks left in places most would never think of, yet when you pull back and consider… of course.
Like the Waffle House, where I don't get around to near as much now that my metabolism has slowed to a crawl. Its just one more all-night dive off I-65 just south of town, except that Earl Scruggs used to sit at its counter, quietly eating his breakfast.
Always one of my favorite things to tell out of town guests!
"THIS is Earl Scruggs Waffle House!" I would proudly declare. Their eyes would open wide. Sometimes they'd get lucky and he'd walk in, or I'd signal with my own eyes where to look.
Now, of course, you won't have to. He's not there. Although my money – once he gets sorted out in heaven – is that he'll be back. You'll find him sitting there at the second or third stool, not quite present, but there… Just a presence that will never quite leave.
Of course, when you make the musical mark Earl Scruggs did, you won't ever be gone. People will listen to his records and marvel; pick up their instrument and practice the complicated three fingers rolls, the wildly accelerated picking.
His mark shall last forever. So will his soul. A man from the same Piedmont region in North Carolina – which gave us contemporary hipsters Carolina Chocolate Drops – he was dedicated to his craft, pushing boundaries and sorting out what the future held.
There's no more sorting. Earl Scruggs is in heaven. With the angels. With the Angel Band – and all is, though somewhat sad and slightly empty, alright with the world, with the ones who pay attention, even as we're sad through losing Scruggs.

CHICAGO >> The scouts packed the seats behind home plate, and Cole Hamels put on quite a show. The lanky left-hander was dominant on a picturesque afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Quite the timing, too.
Hamels struck out 13 in baseball's third no-hitter of the season, leading Philadelphia to a 5-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday in what might be his final start for the Phillies. The 2008 World Series MVP has been mentioned prominently in trade talks as the July 31 deadline approaches.
"It's something where you just go out there and enjoy the moment," Hamels said. "What I want is to be successful at it. I enjoyed the moment and this happened."
Hamels (6-7) was in control right from the start against the contending Cubs, and then got some help from rookie center fielder Odubel Herrera in the final two innings. It also was the fourth no-hitter for catcher Carlos Ruiz, including the playoffs, according to STATS — tops in NL history and tied with Jason Varitek for the major league record.
"I was thinking about one inning at a time," Ruiz said. "That's what I was thinking – something special could happen today."
It was the 13th no-hitter for the Phillies, who have the majors' worst record and could rebuild their farm system with a big haul from a Hamels deal. The 31-year-old lefty also was part of Philadelphia's previous no-hitter, teaming with three relievers for another gem last Sept. 1 at Atlanta.
Since 1900, only two pitchers have thrown a no-hitter and then got traded in the same season: Cliff Chambers from Pittsburgh to St. Louis in 1951, and Edwin Jackson from Tampa Bay to the White Sox in 2010.
"Today was vintage Cole Hamels," Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said.
It was the first no-hitter against Chicago since Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game at Dodger Stadium in 1965. Dexter Fowler walked twice, but he was the only baserunner for the Cubs.
Hamels "definitely increased his value, I would imagine," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "You're going to get that higher-tier prospect because of that performance today."
Ryan Howard hit a three-run homer off Jake Arrieta (11-6) in the third, but Herrera had the two biggest plays of Hamels' first solo no-hitter.
With one out in the eighth, he ran a long way into the gap in left-center to grab David Ross' fly and then spilled onto the warning track. Cubs rookie Kris Bryant launched a long fly with two outs in the ninth, but Herrera raced back and managed to lean forward for the catch after slipping on the track in front of the ivy-covered brick wall.
"It feels awesome. I feel proud to be part of it," Herrera said through a translator.
Hamels had a big smile on his face as he hugged Howard and Ruiz after the final out. The rest of the Phillies then mobbed the pitcher near the mound while the crowd of 41,863 delivered a long standing ovation.
"He looked like he was extremely focused," Mackanin said. "He looked focused in the past and I think he may have been trying too hard not to pitch poorly. I think he just made his mind up that he is going to be who he is and 'I'm going to do what I do best.' He looked like he was on a mission."
Before Saturday's outing, it looked as if all the trade rumors were taking a toll on the usually dependable Hamels. He allowed 14 runs and 20 hits over 6 1-3 innings in his previous two starts.
But Hamels said he likes pitching in Chicago, and it showed. He snapped a nine-game winless streak, which matched a career high.
"Just being able to pound the zone. That's what I wanted to do today," Hamels said. "I wasn't doing it too well the last couple of games. I was able to get ahead and make them swing at bad pitches."

On the occasion of ELT NEWS's 30th anniversary we are happy to publish a series of interviews from ELT personalities who have left their trace in the Greek and international ELT scene.
Luke Prodromou holds a BA (Bristol University) in English with Greek, an MA in Shakespeare Studies (Birmingham University), a postgraduate Diploma in Teaching English as a Second Language (Leeds University, with distinction) and a PhD (Nottingham University). He is the co-author of over 20 coursebooks (most recent Smash, Flash on, Sprint), the award-winning Dealing with Difficulties (with Lindsay Clandfield) and Grammar and Vocabulary for Cambridge First (Longman). Luke is a founder member of Disabled Access Friendly Campaign and the English Language Voice Theatre.
He has been a plenary speaker at numerous international ELT conferences, including IATEFL, UK. He was for many years a teacher and teacher-trainer with the British Council. He has also worked for ESADE, Barcelona, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Thessaloniki, Pilgrims Canterbury, NILE, Bell Schools et al. He currently teaches ELT Methodology, part-time, on the MA TESOL University of Sheffield International Faculty, City College, Thessaloniki. He also runs English literature courses for Spanish teachers.
Did you always want to become a teacher?
No. My first dream was to work in a library and spend the rest of my life reading Enid Blyton and other children's books. I had only first-hand experience of one occupation and that was my parents' fish and chip shop in Birmingham in the 60s - with the Beatles chanting merrily in the background. In comparison, sitting in a cozy library all day, smelling old books rather than fresh fish seemed like paradise. But it was not to be. My significant others decided I should be a lawyer (probably because I was a theatrical type and liked to make dramatic speeches in front of an audience) and I too quite liked the idea. Better than being a priest, which is what my mother dreamed for me - she thought my having a loud voice was adequate qualification to be a spiritual father and saviour of souls. My mother's approach to bringing me up had placed her on numerous occasions at the receiving end of my stentorian vocal skills and no doubt she saw the church as a good place to get rid of me.
Being a boy of little faith and even less knowledge about ecclesiastical matters I ignored my mother's suggestion for a vocation in life and so the legal profession was left to compete with English literature for my chosen academic career.
As it happened, Bristol University got in first with an offer for me to do 'English with Ancient Greek' and I was so flattered to be wanted as a student by what I was told was one of the UK's most prestigious universities that I took the plunge and went to Bristol. I had no plan to teach English on graduating but intended to take up another career which I had always been in love with: the theatre. It was a passion which I would gladly have made my life's work. But that wasn't to be either, so deeply disappointed at my dream faded, I came to sunny Greece, like people used to join the foreign legion: to forget… Teaching English as a Foreign Language was to be a temporary arrangement....45 years on, I'm still here. So, as you can see teaching was not what I wanted to be when I grew up....but no regrets.
What was the situation in ELT when you started teaching?
ELT in 1973 was blissfully simple. Chalk, talk and textbook. There was basically one method to choose from: let's call it 'P' - not for 'Prodromou' but for 'Presentation'. If today we have a variety of approaches, methods and techniques which clamour for attention, all based on variations of PPP (Presentation, Practice, Production, in any order!) in those days - the 70s - the teacher did most of the talking and spent most of the time Presenting, explaining and checking grammar, vocabulary and new reading texts. Most of the time was taken up asking lots of comprehension questions. The Direct Method and the Audio-lingual approach reigned supreme so the students did sometimes get the chance to do controlled practice in the form of drills. So there was sometimes PP: Presentation and Practice - of a limited kind. The third P - Production, during which learners get to use language more freely or even communicatively, was even more limited and often non-existent. It was a thing of the future.
The whole system of ELT in Greece then - as now - was driven by the aim of acquiring the 'lower' or FCE. One size fitted all.
In the early days of my ELT career the native-speakers - even the backpacking variety – was a mythical awesome figure: he or she was looked upon as the fount of all wisdom and the ultimate arbiter of what was right or wrong in matters of the English language. At one frontisterion at which I had applied for a teaching job I was turned down because my name was Greek. I virtually knew no Greek then and I had lived in the UK from the age of 3 but this wasn't enough to qualify me as a 'native-speaker': that's how deep the identification of English with the native-speaker ran. In the classroom, the role of the native speaker was usually to provide fluency or conversation practice (native speakers were not trusted to explain grammar; they had little idea what it was; Greek teachers were the experts in that sphere).
Bear in mind that when I first entered the ELT classroom Communicative Language Teaching (and its many offspring: TBL, CLIL) we're still a glint in the eye of applied linguists at British Universities and the Council of Europe. A lot has changed since the Threshold Level and the work of the Council of Europe on Notional/Functional syllabuses.
Has teaching changed or do we still teach the way we were taught? How difficult is it to change?
Naturally, things have changed since my antediluvian appearance on the ELT scene. There is huge variety in what we teach and how we teach. The field of ELT has become so professionalized since the mid-70s that teacher training and teacher development as well as diverse business interests ensure that nowadays one size does not 'fit all'. Many of us were taught foreign languages with various versions of grammar translation and the younger ones may have been exposed to aspects of the direct method and audio-lingual approach which I referred to above. I would say that many teachers nowadays draw on a variety of approaches to suit the needs of the students or at least the institution where they work: the default position is probably an eclectic application of all the methods I've mentioned plus a dash of TBL, CLIL and blended learning. The way we were taught will always leave a trace in what we do in class, even subliminally, but the massive training and investment in foreign languages of the last 40 years, in our globalised, market-driven world has had an impact on all of us in the ELT profession. For some colleagues it is more difficult to change but the need to survive in an increasingly competitive market does motivate change – as well as peer group pressure and the expectations of a postmodern 21st century where 'everything goes' and 'anything can happen'. Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold.
If you could go back what would you change in your teaching?
I would have liked to have adopted a more learner-centred approach, where students engaged in more creative tasks and projects. My teaching was too textbook- and teacher- centred. I would have liked to see the students participating more and even performing more. Teaching was not 'educational' enough – it was too technocratic, drily linguistic. I would have liked the language school to be more of a proper school, in the educational sense.
The bedrock of more effective and efficient instruction is setting and maintaining meaningful relationships with students. Do teachers know how to do it?
Some do and some don't. I agree absolutely that building good rapport in the classroom is fundamental to effective second language acquisition. The issue of meaningful relationships is inseparable from building self-esteem in our students.
Training and constant teacher development can definitely have an impact on interpersonal skills in the classroom. The process of creating and maintaining meaningful relationships with students requires that we first observe how successful teachers achieve this aim, analyse and break down the process into trainable chunks and then integrate these teacher behaviours into a coherent training and development programme. Videos, films and transcripts of actual teachers in action doing rapport well and badly are useful raw material in this respect. I believe the teacher's voice and body language play an important part in making the teacher more interactive and empathetic.
Have you ever felt embarrassed or insecure in the classroom?
Of course. I think I feel embarrassed or insecure when I am unprepared in any way and so produce a bad lesson - the students feel it and I can see they are getting bored and their attention is wandering. It may also happen when I don't know the answer to something vital in the lesson but this too is part of being well-prepared. The other source of insecurity is when I fail to engage the interest of the learners.
Does routine teaching make teachers 'lazy'?
Routine has its advantages but certainly one danger is that when we repeat something which seems to work well or offers easy solutions we lose the will to experiment and to be engaging. It's a good thing to occasionally try and do things differently. So if you normally stand at the front of the class, try standing at the back. If you begin with a listening task try beginning with a group speaking activity and so on.
What are the appropriate teacher-student boundaries?
These boundaries will differ with different teacher-styles and the huge diversity of contexts we are faced with. But I think from the teacher's point of view, to be friendly and respectful is the sine qua non and from the students' point of view, they should at least be respectful - and the teacher should not accept disrespectful behaviour towards herself or other students. R-E-S-P-E-C-T....That's the red-line as they say nowadays.
How do you see ELT in say…10 years from now?
In 10 years' time, there will be much less need to teach English and other foreign languages as Artificial Intelligence (AI) devices will have become so sophisticated and cheap that automatic translation from one language to another will be common, effective and efficient. Market forces will rule supreme, as they do not to some extent. We will all have automatic translation devices for the world's main languages attached somewhere to our body, it could be an ear-phone-type device, a bit like a hearing-aid but it will be an 'interpreting aid'. For example, whenever I speak to a Chinese, Russian or Uzbek person we both just switch on our device and we speak in our own language and hear the foreign language of our interlocutor translated into our own language. Thus, in a few years' time, the ELT classroom will be defunct or on the verge of extinction. . No chalk, talk and textbook. No TBL, no CLIL, no blended learning. No flipped classrooms. Sans desks, sans teeth, sans exams, sans everything.•

Here you will find the Poem Morning Sea of poet Constantine P Cavafy
Let me stop here. Let me, too, look at nature awhile. The brilliant blue of the morning sea, of the cloudless sky, the yellow shore; all lovely, all bathed in light. Let me stand here. And let me pretend I see all this (I really did see it for a minute when I first stopped) and not my usual day-dreams here too, my memories, those images of sensual pleasure.

The right franchise can make or break a film studio and the easiest way to find a franchise is in the world of literature. Studios regularly scoop up book properties hoping they'll get the next Harry Potter or Twilight, but most the time, they get The 5th Wave or Mortal Instruments.
Sony Pictures just acquired a property they hope falls into that first category. It's called The Lost Property Office, based on a book by James R. Hannibal.
Here's what it's about:
Thirteen-year-old Jack Buckles is great at finding things. Not just a missing glove or the other sock, but things normal people have long given up on ever seeing again. If only he could find his father, who has disappeared in London without a trace.
But Jack's father was not who he claimed to be. It turns out that he was a member of a secret society of detectives that has served the crown for centuries—and membership into the Lost Property Office is Jack's inheritance.
Now the only way Jack will ever see his father again is if he finds what the nefarious Clockmaker is after: the Ember, which holds a secret that has been kept since the Great Fire of London. Will Jack be able to find the Ember and save his father, or will his talent for finding things fall short?
It goes without saying it's a cool premise. How are these people so good at finding things? What does a secret society of detectives do for the Crown? Where's Jack's father?
Also, this property reminds me of the old Nickelodeon show Finders Keepers. Remember that show? It was just kids breaking shit looking for little knickknacks. It was the best. Anyway, I digress.
Will The Lost Property Office be the next Harry Potter, Twilight or Hunger Games? Probably not. But as long as it tells an interesting story in a compelling way, audiences will show up.

Although it was an arduous task (big grin), we finally finished compiling a list of what we think are the best (Armenian) places to eat in Little Armenia of Hollywood. It took several long months of research, and an extra handle around the waistline, to put together what we believe is a very respectable list. Oh the sacrifices we make for our loyal visitors! Now, please keep in mind that we are not professional food critics. But, we love to eat as much as the next Armenian and that's saying a lot! In fact, we have been often told "beranit hameh gides." To translate, please find an Armenian friend. Ok, without much further adieu, we bring you The List. And, by the way, we're not getting paid by any of these establishments in case there are any thoughts of politics involved with the selection process. The List.
Emil Kazaz – Exclusive Exhibit Video
Is the beauty of art subjective? There are countless opinions when it comes to this topic. But, whatever the popular consensus to this question, we think that there is one man whose art transcends conventional wisdom when it comes to beauty.
His name, Emil Kazaz.
Unlike any artwork we have ever seen, Emil's subjects are robustly striking, universally (and simultaneously) appealing and appalling, and unabashedly grotesque. And we wouldn't want it any other way. His vision of the world is vastly unique, uncompromising, and incomparable. He is an original, a master. So much so, we speak his name in the same breath as Van Gogh, Picasso, and Michelangelo.
His recent exhibit in Los Angeles reaffirmed our feelings about the man and his work. A
few dozen frighteningly charming sculptures and painfully elaborate paintings consumed the minds of the hordes in attendance. The entire gallery was abuzz with electricity, as if we were all knowingly in the presence of eternal greatness, experiencing a special feeling for art that will be, indubitably, even more celebrated and appreciated by generations to come.
Although pictures cannot do justice for his work, we have an exclusive short video of his Los Angeles exhibit we would like to share with you. We hope that this video gives you a glimpse of this man's brilliance.

April 27, 2020
As the economy in Europe continues to face serious challenges due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the European Commission stands ready to assist companies tackling the crisis with advice on the application of the competition rules in these exceptional circumstances. In its Temporary Framework Communication the Commission covers possible forms of cooperation which enable companies to supply and adequately distribute essential scarce products. Also, "comfort letters" are making a comeback allowing the Commission to provide companies with written comfort on specific cooperation projects.
We previously reported on the joint statement the European Competition Network (ECN) issued on March 23 regarding the application of the competition rules during the COVID-19 crisis, as well as several initiatives taken by national competition authorities. Since then, the European Commission and other European competition authorities have not been resting on their laurels.
On March 30, the Commission announced the launch of a dedicated website where it collects the different legal instruments regarding COVID-19 and competition law in one place. The Commission also launched a dedicated mailbox which companies can use for informal guidance on specific cooperation initiatives.
On April 8, the Commission adopted a Temporary Framework Communication, setting out the main criteria that it will follow when assessing cooperation projects aimed at addressing a shortage of supply of essential products and services during the COVID-19 outbreak. The document also foresees the possibility of providing companies with written comfort (via ad hoc "comfort letters") on specific cooperation projects. The first of these letters was sent to Medicines for Europe, the trade association for generic pharmaceutical companies. The comfort letter addresses a specific cooperation project among pharmaceutical producers that targets the risk of shortage of critical hospital medicines for the treatment of coronavirus patients.
Cooperation specifically in the health sector might extend to adapting production, stock management and, potentially, distribution. Such measures will not be problematic under EU competition law or will at least not give rise to enforcement action by the Commission, provided the following conditions are met:
All information exchanged and agreements concluded need to be documented and should be ready to be provided to the Commission on its request. The fact that cooperation is encouraged and/or coordinated by a public authority is also a relevant factor to be taken into account.
In the UK, the competition rules are temporarily relaxed to allow the dairy industry to maintain capacity in order to meet future demand, to avoid waste and address the current challenges in the market. Also in the UK, the competition rules are suspended for the Isle of Wight ferry services. The three operators offering the ferry service can agree on routes and coordinate staffing to ensure that essential food, freight and medical supplies can still be transported.
On April 13, the Romanian Competition Authority announced it would introduce flexibility for the pharmaceutical sector to ensure sufficient supply of medicines treating COVID-19, referencing to the abovementioned Temporary Framework Communication.
On April 21, the Dutch Competition Authority announced it would allow health insurers to cooperate to grant continuity contributions and pre-payments to healthcare providers who are not directly involved in battling COVID-19 (such as physiotherapists, maternity support workers, and district-nursing providers). Coordination between health insurers is necessary, because healthcare providers usually conclude agreements with various insurers.
Unfortunately, not every company in Europe is combatting the crisis. Some are taking advantage of the current situation to breach EU competition law. The Commission will not tolerate conduct by companies that opportunistically seek to exploit the crisis as a cover for anticompetitive collusion or abuses of their dominant position by charging prices above normal competitive levels or limiting production. Therefore, the European Commission continues to monitor relevant market developments and detect infringements.
In the Czech Republic, the competition authority is also actively monitoring the market and ready to intervene when necessary. Likewise, in Poland the authority monitors prices for food and hygiene products, both in physical shops and online, after receiving complaints about price hikes. More specifically, it is looking into the termination of contracts for the supply of surgical masks by wholesalers to hospitals in order to re-conclude these contracts at a higher price. The authority is also keeping an eye out for companies unfairly using contractual clauses in the agricultural and food sector.
In the UK and the Netherlands, Expedia and Booking.com are under scrutiny over consumer-friendly changes to their terms and conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The platforms allow consumers, for example, to cancel hotel reservations without a fee. After discussions with the Dutch authority, the platforms implemented changes to provide a better balance between the interests of consumers and businesses. The Dutch competition authority has also closed an investigation into Roche Diagnostics in connection with expanding test capacity for the virus after Roche offered commitments.
Several competition authorities, including the Romanian competition authority and Spanish regional authorities (Catalonia and Basque Country) have announced that they are looking into excessive prices hikes. The Norwegian Competition Authority also received information about disproportional price hikes, explicitly mentioning face masks. Likewise, the Swiss Competition Authority has gotten questions regarding excessive price hikes for masks and disinfectants, and is coordinating with other authorities to tackle this issue. Lastly, on April 22, the competition authority in Greece carried out dawn raids in the food sector after significant price increases for specific citrus products and restrictions of their distribution in the domestic market.

The Japanese artist Mr. (yes, the artist's name is Mr.) paints big canvases that are vivid and sparkly and inhabited by wide-eyed anime characters. They are everything that the expression "Japanese Neo-Pop" implies: bright, flat images packed with references to consumer goods and the latest trends in manga.
Born in 1969, Mr. grew up during Japan's postwar "economic miracle" period, and his work usually reflects the shiny surface of consumer culture.
But if you visit the exhibition at the Seattle Asian Art Museum — the first solo exhibition of Mr.'s work in the United States — you will not be greeted with these vivacious images. First, you must walk through a huge installation of garbage.
A towering mound of trash looms in the center of the gallery, like some abstractly constructed beast. You are forced to walk on either side of it, through narrow alleyways. Magazines are stacked up to the ceiling, clothing hangs above you and plastic food containers are practically underfoot.
Most Read Entertainment Stories
To take it all in, you have to circle around and then reverse direction again to see the rest of the exhibition. The experience suggests both the cycle of urban waste and the natural disasters of 2011. The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan affected the artist deeply. He traveled to devastated areas, taking photographs and video footage that are part of this show.
As I emerged from the garbage installation, called "Give Me Your Wings — think different," into the galleries filled with Mr.'s upbeat paintings, a sense of youthful exuberance grew, even as the undertones of waste and destruction persisted.
During a walk-through with the artist, he confirmed this duality, saying, "Underneath all this happy imagery, I have dark thoughts, especially after the disastrous events of 2011." When considering what to donate to a charity auction, Mr. said, "I thought about making something that said, 'We're suffering. Everyone look at us.' Instead, I decided to create very energetic young girls."
These energetic young girls became a central focus in his work. They are archetypes of the concept of moe (which means "budding") and, as they cavort, play guitar, and flip up their short skirts, they tap into a nostalgic longing for youth.
I see how they embody the hopeful title of the exhibition, "Live on," and I get their appeal. But this very appeal — this allure — also makes me uncomfortable. I asked Mr. to help me understand the obsession with the schoolgirl type and those variations that seem to be sexualized. He was candid in his acknowledgment that sexuality can be seen as "part of that culture" and that "there are people who say, 'please don't draw girls in this way.' "
He went on to stress that part of the debate is rooted in a cultural "difference in viewpoint" and that for him and for many Japanese, these characters offer lessons about "companionship, friendship, and the conviction to speak out against injustice."
It is easy to slip into this optimistic world, into the layers of saturated color, swirling hair, and slightly modified commercial products (Mr. tweaks characters and brand names to avoid copyright disputes, changing "Sony" to "Pony," for example).
Fans of anime and manga will probably love reading each work for subtleties of expression and iconography. As a member of the otaku (geek) subculture, Mr. includes very specific trends and stylistic staples such as floating heads, sparkles and speech bubbles.
The obsessive nature of the work provides an abundance of fantasy that is immersive and pleasurable. But, with a wink, it also suggests that complete satisfaction or escapism can never be fully achieved.

Open MRI
An MRI is a non-invasive test that is used to find and diagnose medical issues. In an MRI, a magnetic field and pulses of radio waves can scan and take pictures of organs and parts of the body which are normally not accessible or visible. Tumors, infections, bleeding, blood vessels, and abnormal issue can all be better investigated with an MRI. We offer on site Open MRI services with a GE E-Scan MRI System. Images are sent via secure internet connection to Iowa Radiology to be read.
An x-ray is another test that scans the body to help find possible abnormalities. With an x-ray, dense material such as bone and metal are shown in contrast against the rest of the body. Our X-Ray department is well equipped with not only a full service X-Ray unit but a mobile OEC MiniView 6800 C-Arm as well to allow us to do x-rays in the operating suite. This equipment allows us to perform fracture reductions in the clinic, as well as, live x-ray imaging of an injury to monitor healing or evaluate instability of a joint.
DXA Scan
DXA is an enhanced form of X-ray that is used to measure bone loss and bone density. With an early diagnosis and effective way to monitor bone mass, we at Midwest Bone & Joint Center can more easily prevent and treat problems that can occur with osteoporosis. To find out more about DXA Scanning and osteoporosis, you can read more on our osteoporosis center page.
Our workers compensation patients are conveniently served by our in-house pharmacy. Patients needing medication can leave our office with it in hand and not have to make another stop to have a prescription filled.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. – His brawny arms protrude from beneath short sleeves, his barrel-like chest unobstructed by extra layers. The bottoms of his pantlegs are hued three shades darker from trudging through a steady midsummer rain all morning.
Lee Westwood walks with the demeanor of a man who prefers a stiff downpour over a petty drizzle. His fellow competitors compensate for the rain. They wear two gloves. They constantly wipe their hands with towels. They implore caddies to hold umbrellas directly over them like portable butlers.
Westwood doesn't compensate. Take away the moisture framing his background and you wouldn't know whether he's playing golf in rain, heat or anything else. Perhaps that's a nod to the Englishman's hometown of Worksop, where dreary, overcast conditions might as well be a fixture on the daily weather report.
PGA Championship: Articles, videos and photos
It could explain his relative success in two days of rain at the PGA Championship, posting scores of 66-73 to get into contention on yet another major weekend.
Here's another theory: Maybe Westwood is just comfortable being uncomfortable.
Much like learning to thrive in wet conditions, this, too, isn't something a man is born with. Westwood has become accustomed to being comfortable in uncomfortable situations, the result of so many years of close calls and tough breaks that have earned him the game's most backhanded compliment of a title: Best Player Never To Have Won A Major.
On the surface, that notion may sound like it has all the gravity of Best Surfer Never To Have Been In The Ocean, but it is indeed a position worth claiming. Westwood is playing in his 63rd career major this week – but he's never won. He has claimed 16 top-10 major finishes – but he's never won. He's poached eight results of third or better – but he's never won.
Such numbers should render obsolete any debate for another player to stake claim to this unwanted title. Neither Luke Donald nor Brandt Snedeker nor Sergio Garcia nor Steve Stricker hold Westwood's dubious record of most places and shows without a win. For a man who owns a share of about 20 thoroughbred racehorses, he has a keen understanding of what these close-but-no-victory-cigar finishes really mean.
Of course, being comfortable in uncomfortable situations isn't synonymous with being complacent. Westwood has done everything in his power to dislodge himself from that dreaded superlative of a title in trying to become just another run-of-the-mill one-time major champion.
On the eve of his 40th birthday earlier this year, Westwood moved his family from England to the elite golfer hotbed of South Florida, where he can practice year-round without having to train in those very conditions which seem trivial to him in the first place. "Practice conditions are brilliant," he says with a smile. "It's nice living in shorts."
That's hardly the only change he's made. Already known as one of the world's preeminent ball-strikers, Westwood has enlisted noted instructor Sean Foley – he of the Tiger Woods and Justin Rose and Hunter Mahan camps – for a few pointers with his swing, less technical pearls of wisdom than theoretical ones. A long-time sufferer of putting woes, he started asking Ian Baker-Finch for a few tips here and there. And three weeks ago at the Open Championship, he sat down with famed sports psychologist Ross Mackenzie for an impromptu session.
That Sunday at Muirfield was the latest of those eight career top-three results at majors, as he turned the 54-hole lead into a share of third place. Another close call could be enough to leave most guys stomping mad with frustration, but Westwood has grown comfortable with these uncomfortable situations.
Which may also serve to explain the end of his round on Thursday here at Oak Hill Country Club. Three strokes behind leader Adam Scott with two holes to play, those brawny arms flaring and the bottom of his drenched pantlegs scraping across the closely mown greens, Westwood runs into the sort of trouble that always seems to follow him at majors.
He misses a short bogey putt on the eighth hole – his 17th of the day – then misses another short attempt for par on the ninth. A laudable round has turned decidedly shaky at the end, rendering him further from contention than he was just minutes earlier. He's been here before, though. What he says after the round speaks to his ability to remain content in the face of adversity.
"Obviously, I would have liked to have finished par-par," he admits, "but I'm in red figures going into the weekend and still have a chance."
From heavy rains to untimely missed putts to a career that so far has defined him as the best player without a major championship, Westwood has often found himself in uncomfortable situations. It's a good thing he's learned to be so comfortable in them.

Random Access Lists
August 28, 2012
The datatype
Rlist is a list of
(int * α Tree), where an
α Tree is either a
Leaf of
α or a
Node of
(α * α Tree * α Tree). We provide the following structures, where an
item is a single element of an
(define-structure leaf x)
(define-structure node x t1 t2)
(define-structure item w t)
The empty
Rlist is trivial:
(define empty (list))
(define empty? null?)
cons function, which we spell
kons to distinguish it from the built-in function on normal lists, adds a new
item if the
Rlist is empty or singleton, otherwise it builds a new
Node from the first two
Items in the
(define (kons x ts)
(if (or (empty? ts) (empty? (cdr ts)))
(cons (make-item 1 (make-leaf x)) ts)
(let ((w1 (item-w (car ts))) (w2 (item-w (cadr ts)))
(t1 (item-t (car ts))) (t2 (item-t (cadr ts))))
(if (= w1 w2)
(cons (make-item (+ 1 w1 w2) (make-node x t1 t2)) (cddr ts))
(cons (make-item 1 (make-leaf x)) ts)))))
head and
tail functions look at the first item in the
Rlist and branch on whether it is a
Leaf or a
Node. Both functions are careful to report an error if handed an empty list. Note the "impossible" conditions, which were, sadly, very valuable during development of the functions:
(define (head ts)
(cond ((empty? ts) (error 'head "empty list"))
((leaf? (item-t (car ts)))
(if (= (item-w (car ts)) 1)
(leaf-x (item-t (car ts)))
(error 'head "impossible")))
((node? (item-t (car ts)))
(node-x (item-t (car ts))))
(else (error 'head "impossible"))))
(define (tail ts)
(cond ((empty? ts) (error 'tail "empty list"))
((leaf? (item-t (car ts)))
(if (= (item-w (car ts)) 1)
(cdr ts)
(error 'tail "impossible")))
((node? (item-t (car ts)))
(let* ((w (item-w (car ts))) (w2 (quotient w 2))
(t (item-t (car ts))) (ts (cdr ts))
(t1 (node-t1 t)) (t2 (node-t2 t)))
(cons (make-item w2 t1) (cons (make-item w2 t2) ts))))
(else (error 'tail "impossible"))))
That dispenses with the normal list functions of the random access lists, so it is a good time to stop and test what we have done:
> (define x (kons 7 empty))
> (set! x (kons 6 x))
> (set! x (kons 5 x))
> (set! x (kons 4 x))
> (set! x (kons 3 x))
> (set! x (kons 2 x))
> (set! x (kons 1 x))
> (set! x (kons 0 x))
> (head x)
> (head (tail x))
> (head (tail (tail x)))
Now we can continue with the random access part of the data structure. The
lookup function is similar to the
list-ref function of Scheme; it first finds the right
item in the
Rlist (which takes O(log n) time, since that's the length of the
Rlist), then the auxiliary function
lookup-tree determines if the
item is a
Leaf or
Node and responds appropriately. Note that
lookup and
update! both check that subscripts are in range:
(define (lookup i ts)
(define (lookup-tree w i t)
(cond ((and (= w 1) (zero? i) (leaf? t))
(leaf-x t))
((and (= w 1) (leaf? t))
(error 'lookup-tree "subscript out of range"))
((and (zero? i) (node? t))
(node-x t))
((node? t)
(let ((w2 (quotient w 2)) (t1 (node-t1 t)) (t2 (node-t2 t)))
(if (<= i w2)
(lookup-tree w2 (- i 1) t1)
(lookup-tree w2 (- i 1 w2) t2))))
(else (error 'lookup-tree "impossible"))))
(cond ((empty? ts) (error 'lookup "subscript out of range"))
((< i (item-w (car ts)))
(let ((w (item-w (car ts))) (t (item-t (car ts))))
(lookup-tree w i t)))
(else (let ((w (item-w (car ts))))
(lookup (- i w) (cdr ts))))))
Update! is similar to
lookup, except that it returns a newly-allocated
Rlist that shares
items with its input:
(define (update! i y ts)
(define (update-tree w i y t)
(cond ((and (= w 1) (zero? i) (leaf? t))
(make-leaf y))
((and (= w 1) (leaf? t))
(error 'update-tree "subscript out of range"))
((and (zero? i) (node? t))
(make-node y (node-t1 t) (node-t2 t)))
((node? t)
(let ((w2 (quotient w 2)) (x (node-x t))
(t1 (node-t1 t)) (t2 (node-t2 t)))
(if (<= i w2)
(make-node x (update-tree w2 (- i 1) y t1) t2)
(make-node x t1 (update-tree w2 (- i 1 w2) y t2)))))
(else (error 'update-tree "impossible"))))
(cond ((empty? ts) (error 'update! "subscript out of range"))
((< i (item-w (car ts)))
(let ((w (item-w (car ts))) (t (item-t (car ts))))
(cons (make-item w (update-tree w i y t)) (cdr ts))))
(else (let* ((t (car ts)) (ts (cdr ts)) (w (item-w t)))
(cons t (update! (- i w) y ts))))))
It's time for some more testing:
> (lookup 2 x)
> (set! x (update 2 12 x))
> (lookup 2 x)
> (head (tail (tail x)))
We used
define-structure from the Standard Prelude. The code is collected at http://programmingpraxis.codepad.org/CDtlf2Sy, but I couldn't make it run; it runs fine on my machine at home, but something about the macros provided by MzScheme in the codepad system doesn't work with this code.

After all that noise above, I figured that I should actually go about implementing it. I've got a version here that is pretty much a direct translation from the paper's ML (I think) to Scheme. I'm strongly reminded of skip lists, just with a better way for dynamically resizing.

text: The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have produced a generation of American veterans with physical or psychological ailments. But as The Nation's Joshua Kors has reported in his series on veterans healthcare over the last three years, returning vets aren't always given the care to match their service. In "Disposable Soliders," Kors' cover story last month, he tells the story of Sgt. Chuck Luther, who was wounded by mortar fire in Iraq but pressured to sign papers saying his injuries came from a pre-existing "personality disorder." In this interview with PRI/BBC's "The World," Kors talks with reporter Marco Werman about the status of Luther's case, and the ongoing effort to win back healthcare for misdiagnosed veterans.

Established in 1981, Gomac.ie (formerly Gomac Signs) was set up as a small family business. We started out using a manual pantograph engraving machine to produce ID tags for electrical control panels and for general electrical installations. Since those early years, our business has grown exponentially, but we have never lost sight of the fact that our mission is to provide a product that is best suited to transmit our customer's message.
We are keenly aware that signage and display products are evolving all the time and for that reason we see it as our responsibility to be fully conversant with the latest developments. This makes us ideally qualified to be able to advise customers about what we see as the most efficient and cost-effective means of fulfilling their visual communication requirements.
Today, almost 40 years later, I am pleased to be able to continue to head up a very progressive team and am personally available to discuss signage and display projects with our customers. Through the years we have forged many valuable alliances with manufacturers and suppliers and as a result, with their premium products and our years of experience we are uniquely qualified to be able to guide customers to get the best return on their investment in visual communications.
If you have a requirement for signage or displays, then rest assured that we would be happy to discuss it with you. We have tried to make this website as comprehensive as possible but if there is something that you require and is not shown then please do call us.

Electronic Medical Record Assignment Paper
Electronic Medical Record Assignment Paper
An electronic medical record (EMRs) is a computer-based system for recording, managing, and delivering data concerning a patient. These computer-based records include any information taken by the doctor at the fist visit of the patient, which can be either physical, medical, laboratory test results or drugs prescription.Electronic Medical Record Assignment Paper
Permalink: https://nursingpaperessays.com/electronic-medic…assignment-paper/
History of electronic medical records
A physician named Lawrence L. Weed first invented the development of these electronic records in the year 1960s. He describes this system to automate and reorganize the patient's medical record to enhance the utilization, therefore, an improvement in the medical industry.
This invention by Lawrence became the basis of the PROMIS projects in the University of Vermont. This lead to a collaboration of physicians and information technology experts to start developing an automated electronic medical record system (Carter, 2001). The objective for this project was to develop a system that could provide sequential and timely patient to physicians and facilitate a rapid collection of data for business audits, epidemiological studies and medical audits.Electronic Medical Record Assignment Paper
In 1970s, this medical record was first used in a medical ward of the medical center hospital of Vermont. This was the periods when the touch screen technology had been introduced to the data entry procedures. Between the period of 1970s and 1980s, these electronic medical record systems were further developed and refine by various research institutions (Carter, 2001).
With advancement in technology, these electronic medical records became increasingly complex and more used by medical practitioners in various countries especially the developed countries.
This system has displayed more advantage on its use as compared to the work of paper recording due to its capabilities. These include the ability to capturing data at the point of care, quick integration of data from multiple internal and external sources and its capability to support caregiver decision making.
Its efficiency for patients and their providers, as well as the health payment systems, has also been recorded. The need to replace paper medical recording which, most of the times are incomplete, hard to read and even hard to find has provided a single, up to date, shareable and accurate information to the medical practitioners (Rogers, 2002).Electronic Medical Record Assignment Paper This system is also capable to carry more information as it can manage information from multiple offices, as well as multiple types of record resources.
With the case of the paper-based systems, information can get lost more easily as compared to this electronic system which, secures records with a backup files even in case of emergencies.
Another advantage for this electronic system is the ability to coordinate care in the all of health care team (Science Daily). This reduces the cases of duplication of testing, prescription of medicine whose combination is dangerous, and the ability of the medical team member to understand the taken to a condition. Many medical practitioners are often considered having undecipherable handwriting, which may lead to mistakes, but by the use of this electronic system, typed information is likely to cause less misunderstanding.
Further research on the use of this system that contributes to the satisfaction of the patients and medical practitioners is necessary for the successful future development and implementation of its effectiveness.Electronic Medical Record Assignment Paper
Despite of the above positive impact on the health care, over time and time, there is reports of insecurity and lack of privacy to the health information about a patient. This is because this information are available online not any to the patient and his doctor but also to other health care providers (Science Daily). This has created a lot of concern on security and privacy of health- information technology tools.
In conclusion, to make this electronic medical record more effective, the federal government needs to invest in technology, which, is needed to develop new sets of quality measures on the use of the system.Electronic Medical Record Assignment Paper

Professional Testimonials
Dr. Dale A. Masi
Ph.D., LCSW-C, CEAP
The University of Maryland's Employee Assistance Digital Archive is a unique repository of EAP literature. Five years ago, Dr. Jodi Frey and Dr. Patricia Herlihy originated the idea of a single location for relevant, historical, and important EAP literature. Since that time, the Archive has grown to include books, articles, videos, and a vast collection of documents from the EAP field. Students, as well as contemporary EAP authors, use the Archive as a valuable resource. The Archive is housed on the University of Maryland's Library website. This institutional imprimatur by the prestigious University of Maryland gives the Archive an even higher profile. Most important, the Archive is free and open to everyone. I recommend to all of my U.S. and international students that I teach in my on-line EAP certification course at the University of Maryland that they access the Archives for research and general learning purposes. For future generations, this Archive will continue to increase in value as a historical reference as well as serve as a host for current EAP.

Cecilia Rachier
The rising globalization of EAPs has seen their spread from western cultures to non-western cultures. Whilst a range of EAP studies have been conducted and are well documented and accessible, these have predominantly been in western as opposed to non-western cultures. As a Kenyan EAP counsellor, an EAPA professional member, a Professional Doctorate in Counseling student of the University of Manchester, whose thesis is on EAP counsellors in Kenya, and as the President of the relatively new EAPA-Kenya, the EA Archive at the University of Maryland at Baltimore School of Social Work comes is valuable to my professional EAP work and studies. It is a rich hub of EAP learning resources where EAP professionals, researchers and other stakeholders can access and share EAP information including history, trends, research, successes, challenges, services, training and practices that contribute to the growth of the EAP field globally. The EA Archive is doing great work and will continue to grow internationally.

Dr. Chris Knoepke
Ph.D, LCSW-C
The EAP world is one which is always ripe for innovation, and there are absolutely practitioners and scientists out there who are innovating. Longstanding challenges to this innovation, including not only those which affect organizational development and mental health more broadly, but also ones which are specific to EA, need to be addressed to foster the growth of our field. The University of Maryland at Baltimore School of Social Work has taken the brave step to create and curate the EA Archives, which should overcome many of these barriers. By having a consistent, reliable, and well-documented living resource, EA practitioners and scholars know there is somewhere to go to learn about both the history and future of the profession.
Tom Delaney
As the EAP field evolves and grows to meet the challenges of the world-wide 21st century work forces; program administrators, practitioners and researchers increasingly require archival resources to learn of the variety of models across cultures and consumers. So too, do policy makers and consumers. Archives are also essential for the development of robust and accurate academic and technical literature. The University of Maryland has stepped up to the challenge. I am pleased to recommend the support and utilization of the University of Maryland EA Archive.

Montreal's "MOTO" To Showcase Artists That Represent The Future Of Music
For most, discovering new music means spending half of your day surfing Soundcloud for a horde of new beats, clicking through your bookmarked blogs, or maybe even listening to your favourite radio show, and most of the time , you'll be hearing the same things over and over again. The arrival of MOTO means you can now experience music in an entirely different way.
MOTO is a curation company. In the same sense as a museum or gallery, MOTO selects artists they believe represent the future of music and showcase them. Artists either collaborate with the venture to create exclusive creative projects like mixes, remixes or beats, or match them with others to create innovative events. MOTO is for the youth, educating its listeners and diversifying Montreal's nightlife.
Each event organized by MOTO will combine different innovative features like projections from talented VJs, live-streaming of the events online, and pop-up shops from local brands on-site.
March 1st marks the beginning of MOTO's event series. They've started things off right by inviting Silver Gods made up of Ajust, from LoudLaryAjust and Ruffsound (recognized in the Montreal Hip Hop community for his instrumental raps and productions), Dr. MaD, member of the amazing collective ALAIZ (known for his soul-jazz/lo-fi beats), Cannonhead (an entirely self produced Montreal based rap group), Jei Bandit (a newcomer producing heavy rap and instrumentals), and RrKelly (co-founder of the Rap Mommies night at En Cachette). It's a regular greatest-hits of the Montreal scene.
Catch the event live at Cabaret Underworld starting at 10pm or online on MTL Blog. The audio live-stream will start at 10pm est sharp.
RSVP to the event, FOLLOW MOTO for everything music and LISTEN away.
