Alan V. Tomidy traveled the world as a basketball player, playing for professional teams in Italy, Greece and Belgium.
The 6-foot, 10-inch center grew up in LeRoy. He starred for his high school team and then Marist College in the 1990s, before playing for European teams for several years. Since his mother was born in Ireland, he was also able to play for the Irish national team.
Tomidy still shoots around a bit, roots for the Knicks and will watch as many as NBA playoff games on TV as he can. But at 42, he is already well into his second career in the world of finance.
Tomidy started out as a financial planner for Morgan Stanley in its Batavia office, before moving on to Wyoming County Bank, later renamed Five Star Bank. After a stint with a credit union, he returned to Five Star just over a year ago, as its director of business banking.
His job puts him in touch with small businesses across Western New York. Warsaw-based Five Star has blossomed into a much bigger player in a key Small Business Administration lending program aimed at helping businesses that might otherwise have trouble obtaining loans. In the current fiscal year, which began last October, Five Star has made 110 of those loans worth $6.8 million in the Buffalo-Rochester market, compared to 51 loans worth $5.9 million in the same six-month period a year ago. Five Star ranked No. 2 in the number of loans, behind longtime leader M&T Bank.
Tomidy lives in Batavia with his wife, Jessica, and their three children, and he makes frequent visits to the Buffalo Niagara region for his job.
Q: What was it like playing professional basketball overseas?
A: It's their second-favorite sport. In certain cities, it's the primary sport, depending on the size of the city and whether they have a good enough soccer team to compete at the highest level. … It was a great experience, I was extremely fortunate to be able to see the world.
Q: Did you find any skills that transferred from sports to finance?
A: I think athletics is a great training ground for the corporate world. I think the fact that you're on a team, and if you've played at a high enough level, or you play at any level, really, you learn how to work with others, follow orders – the coach tells you to do X, and you don't do it, things get messed up.
It's the same type of thing in the corporate world. You've got to kind of know your role and be willing to perform the role assigned to you to the best of your ability. I never had an issue with other people telling me what to do. I think that was instilled in me at an early age: This is what you want me to do, OK, I'll just go do it. That has always served me well in the marketplace.
Q: What about competitiveness? Did that carry over?
A: Absolutely. Especially with me, a lot of what we do, there is a competitive nature to it, there's sales, there's goals, there' quotas. That's always a driving thing for me. If you get used to working hard and competing, it carries through to your day-to-day life where you want to succeed and you want to be know as a high performer and be good at what you do.
If you achieve a certain level of athletics, it doesn't happen by accident, typically. You have to have some skill, some luck and some physical ability as well. But there's an awful lot of hard work and dedication that goes into that. I think in the corporate world as well, you need to have that.
Q: What have you learned about small business in your current job?
A: I love small business. I think it's a tremendous growth engine of our area. … I don't know if those giant companies are coming back. But what has replaced them is a tremendous amount of really high quality small businesses. I think in Western New York, we have tremendous business people, great work ethic, and the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well. It's fun to see the stories and the businesses and the way the people are so passionate about their ideas and how they drive these businesses and you see the success that they have.
Q: Five Star Bank has become a much bigger player in the SBA's 7(a) loan program in Western New York. Was that a concerted effort?
A: Absolutely. When they decided to bring me back and head this up, the effort was there to really try to continue to focus on small business. We've always been a very good SBA lender, we've really kind of pushed that more.
Our underwriting process is very unique. It's built on efficiency. We have typically less than a five-day turnaround time for a decision, which is I think industry leading or pretty close anyway. The SBA is a big part of that because it does add just another level of credit enhancement to us and it gives us the opportunity to really invest in Western New York small businesses.
Q: What are borrowers coming to you for?
A: Sometimes it's starting up a business, a lot of times it's equipment needs, or a lot of times it's additional working capital as their business grows. This is pretty well documented, but the manufacturing base is not as strong as it used to be, so there's a lot more service industries and technology industries which don't have a lot of hard collateral to them. The SBA can step in there and kind of give us a little more comfort from a collateral standpoint that we can kind of bolster that a little bit.
Q: Buffalo has a lot of banks competing for small business loans. How does Five Star manage in that kind of environment?
A: It's very competitive. For the small business side, I think our speed and our efficiency are really tailored to small business owners, especially in this era when no one wants to wait 15 minutes for a cup of coffee. Time is money for these people. We've developed this product set to really be cognizant of that. … We try to get them what they need as soon as they can, and give them a 'yes' or 'no' decision as soon as we can. That has really been a competitive advantage for us.

- Just catching up? Here's what you missed in the last Republican debate before the Florida primary, and our live fact checks.
- Nick Confessore, Maggie Haberman and Alan Rappeport provided real-time analysis.
Republican Debate Is Marked by Decorum
Decorum has stretched well into the debate, surprising even Donald J. Trump.
"I cannot believe how civil it's been up here," Mr. Trump said after a brief but respectful exchange with Senator Ted Cruz.
It began when the moderator Dana Bash asked Mr. Cruz if he compared Mr. Trump to Hillary Clinton. The senator didn't bite.
"I will let Donald speak for himself," Mr. Cruz said before laying out his plan.
Mr. Trump responded by alleging that Mr. Cruz shifted position in Iowa, something that Mr. Cruz shook his head about with a look of disbelief, but he never interrupted Mr. Trump. When Mr. Trump finished, Mr. Cruz again didn't bite.
"I'm fed up with the corruption in Washington," Mr. Cruz said. He went into a brief stem-winder of a stump speech before accusing Mr. Trump of funding "liberal Democrats and the Washington establishment."
In a calm voice, Mr. Trump leveled another accusation at Mr. Cruz over illegal immigration, touting his endorsement by Sherriff Joe Arpaio, and concluding on a harmonious note: "We're all in this together."

health Does Solar & Geomagnetic Activity Affect Health?
Angela replied to tailzzz24's topic in Geomagnetic activityI am not a medical provider, although I was previously a staff member for a surgery residency, so I have some knowledge and understanding about what knowledge souraces are more effacious. There are some studies in Pubmed regarding solar events and strokes. I believe there is some relationship between solar weather and possibly geological and weather on earth (but those who moderate this site would know a lot more). There have been studies identifying a relationship between inflammation felt in the body (in particular) migraines and barometric pressure (as well as menstrual cycles). There also have been studies identifying that there is some relationship that yet remains elusive between strokes and heart attacks and the weather. They tend to occur on Mondays with greater frequency. There is also some elusive relationship between these events and dew point, temperature change, and barometric pressure. From an anecdotal level, I have experienced this with migraines (for the last 17 yrs) and the expression of the severity of damage in my motor cortex since having a stroke.

Kobe Bryant Fined $100k For Homophobic Remark
Earlier this week, Twilight star Taylor Lautner appeared on MTV's The Seven to do a bit of promo work and he managed to reveal that he is a HUGE fan of Britney Spears's music. Not only does he love her new album Femme Fatale but he also loves her older songs as well. Check out the video below to find out which Britney Spears song he would sing on Glee if he were ever given the opportunity.
I would LOVE to hear Taylor Lautner sing Britney's Oops, I Did It Again … not because I think he's a good singer but I'd love to hear his take on the song. See, I knew there was something about Lautner that I really liked. I used to think it was his rock hard abs but now I realize he's got great taste in pop music ;) Um, I think I still love his abs but … his love of Britney is also very endearing.

V. R. Desai
Assistant Professor, Water Resources Section Civil Engineering Department
Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur-721 302, West Bengal
Consumer oriented technological advancement/economic development is exerting a new kind of stress on the quality and availability of air and water in particular. As a result of this, the management of these natural resources has become absolutely necessary. In this paper, various strategies for better water management are discussed. Time-tested and decentralized practices of conserving water resources on a small scale as well as modern and centralized planning for big water resources projects undertaken in various parts of the world are also described. In the light of this, a few feasible short-, medium- as well as long- term strategies are suggested to improve the quality and availability of water resources for the entire human population. Through these strategies, wherein the small will complement the big; the old will complement the new, an improved water management scenario is presented over an extended space as well as time.
In terms of human necessities, water is considered most important next only to air. Food, clothing, shelter and energy are considered as next in the order of human necessities. The various ancient river valley civilizations in India, China, Israel and elsewhere prove this fact very much. It has been historically established that only these three nations and their civilizations have survived the test of time. Israel is the smallest among the three in terms of area and population, and has managed its water resources in a quite satisfactory way despite its very low rainfall. On the other hand, China is the biggest in terms of area and population and has managed its water resources to a relatively more satisfactory level despite various adverse factors. As compared to both these nations with ancient civilizations, India's progress in water management is either satisfactory only in some sporadic pockets of geographical areas or is far from satisfactory elsewhere. The following paragraphs elaborate these observations to some extent.
Israel's Water Management Strategies
Israel [about 20,750 sq. km. Area and an estimated population of 5.8 million in 1996]Area is a nation in the Middle East which is very important not only in terms of its history and geography but also in terms of its socio-religious composition and effective water management in spite of its limited rainfall. The average annual rainfall varies from about 150 mm in the Southern deserts to about 600 mm in the Northern hilly region. Both these values are less as compared to both the extreme values of annual rainfall in the Indian State of Rajasthan. Yet, Israel has enacted laws and implemented programmes for better water conservation and management which ensure minimization of wastage and thereby an improvement in the water use efficiency. Some of the techniques used are rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation. As a result of such practices, Israel has been able to ensure quality and availability of water for drinking and other purposes for its citizens as well as to export citrus fruits, fruit juices, wines etc., in spite of its hostile terrain with scanty rainfall [Grolier, 1997].
Chinese Water Management Practice
China is the world's largest country in terms of population [i. e., more than 1.2 billion as per 1996 estimate] and one among the top four countries in terms of area [about 9.6 million sq. km]. The annual rainfall varies all the way from less than 250 mm in the north-west to about 2000 mm in the south and south-west. This region has more than 80% of national water resources for a national area of little more than 35% supporting nearly 55% of the nation's population. The strong point of china is its retention of the traditional wisdom as well as adoption to modern techniques. The 1-2-1 Programme of 'Rainwater Catchment and Utilisation' (RWCU) provides for 'one' catchment area feeding 'two' underground storage tanks to support cash and fruit crops on 'one' piece of land. This as well as similar programmes have been successfully implemented in the north-western Gansu Province, and neighbouring Autonomous Regions of Ningxia Hui and Inner Mongolia. As a result of such programmes, an additional area of more than 10,000 hectares has been irrigated and an increase in agricultural yield ranging from about 20 to 100% has been achieved [Kumar, 1998]. Indian Water Management Scenario
As compared to the other two nations (i. e., Israel and China) with ancient civilisations, India is neither as compact as Israel nor as big as China in terms of area [7th in the world with little under 3.3 million sq. km] as well as population [second in the world with little under 0.95 billions in 1996]. The lower and upper bound values of the annual rainfall range are exacly the same as that of China with the minimum rainfall occurring in the cold desert of Ladhak in Jammu & Kashmir as well as in the hot desert 'Thar' of Rajasthan while the maximum rainfall occurring in the Western Ghats as well as in Meghalaya. For the worst scenario of water management, one can cite the instance of drought at Cherraounji-the world's wettiest place- in Meghalaya few years ago. On the other hand, we can cite many examples of success stories – like the artificial glaciers or 'zings' of Ladhak in Jammu & Kashmir, the narrow wells or 'beris' of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, rainwater harvesting techniques adopted in thh Chennai Metropolis of Tamil Nadu, the 300-metre deep rock tunnels or 'surangams' of Kasargod, Kerala, the small covered tanks or 'kundis' for storing rainwater in Churu, Rajasthan. All these success stories not only testify our capability to achieve water conservation, but also hint us about the grim picture that we might face in the coming years if such attempts are not undertaken on a massive scale [Joshi,1998]
In the following paragraphs, a brief outline is presented on the use of Geographical Information System (GIS) i. e., Geo-informatics and other strategies for improving water management. Other strategies for better water management are also mentioned in short.
Geo-Informatics for Simplified Storage Computation and better Water Management
Remote sensing (RS) and GIS has the potential to improve the water management, when it is adopted along with some field techniques such as constructing check dams for soil and water conservation. A simplified 'Semi-Elliptical Cone (SEC) Model is described here.
Figure 1. Schematic of a Water Storage Created by a Check Dam Across a Stream/River
If a simple check dam is created across a stream for soil and water conservation, it will result in storage which is shown by a triangle in the Reservoir Top View in Figure 1. If such series of check dams are constructed at appropriate locations, and remotely sensed images are taken at different values of suitable time intervals (e. g., at daily or weekly intervals), we can get the areas of water storage for all the sites at those time intervals. Once such a database is created, the next thing that is required to be done is the computation of the individual as well as collective water storage volumes(V). This can be done by adopting a simplified formula, applicable for the SEC Model as given below:
V = ayz . axz . [(p/2) . (W/2) . D] . (Lf/3)
i. e., V = ayz . axz . [(p/12) . W . D . Lf](1)
ayz : Cross Sectional Coefficient (CSC)
axz : Water Spread Coefficient (WSC).
The main assumption in the SEC Model is that the water storage volume is considered to be of right elliptical half-conical shape. It means that the base of this cone is of semi-elliptical shape with half of the width (W) and depth (D) as its semi-major and semi-minor axes respectively. The vertex of this cone is the most upstream point in the Fetch direction. The coefficients CSC and WSC provide us with the representative variations in all the cross-sections considered parallel to the check dam and in all the water spread contour areas considered at all the depths respectively. Another important assumption in the SEC Model is that no tributary joins the stream or river at the reservoir area.
One can notice that Equation (1) contains a constant term, two coefficient terms and three terms corresponding to the three dimensions of the reservoir. The two coefficient terms CSC and WSC broadly depend on the longitudinal and side slope characteristics and as well as the sedimentation and erosion characteristics of the reservoir area. Among the three dimensional terms of the reservoir, fetch and width can be obtained from the RS images while depth needs to be actually measured. By properly estimating and updating the two coefficients from time to time, the storage computation can be further simplified.
On a short term as well as all-term basis such simplified storage computations can be used for modifying the elevation capacity curves as per the changed reservoir sedimentation/erosion characteristics. On a long term basis, these storage computations can also be used to complement other strategies for better water management as elaborated in the successive paragraphs.
Other Strategies for better Water Management in Indian Conditions
Uneven distribution of water resources is found almost everywhere in our country. This unevenness is spatial as well as temporal. As a result of this, it is very common to have flood as well as drought conditions existing in different parts of our country at any particular time. Nearly 75 to 80% of the annual rainfall in major portion of our country occurs during the south-west monsoon months of June to September. While the Himalayan and Sub-Himalayan regions receive water due to snow melting in summer, some regions in the north-east and the east coast receive rainfall due to north-east monsoon. Even the amount of annual average rainfall varies all the way from around 50 mm in the Ladakh region of Jammu & Kashmir to more than 11,000 mm in Meghalaya. Likewise the number of annual rainy days (with a minimum daily rainfall of 2.5 mm) varies all the way from less than 10 in Ladakh and Katch (Gujrat) to more than 150 in Meghalaya and the Western Ghat regions of Karnataka & Kerala [Rao, 1979].
Nearly a third of our country's area is said to be either chronically drought prone area (with at least 40% probability of a maximum of 75% of the normal annual rainfall) or drought prone (with a 20-40% probability of a maximum of 75% the normal annual rainfall)[Subramanya, 1994]. It has been observed that these areas generally have an annual rainfall of less than 750 mm. In these areas scarcity of water is observed very frequently. It calls for effective water management mainly through techniques such as evaporation control and rainwater harvesting. Evaporation control is achieved by either physical or chemical or any other other techniques. Presently, the evaporation models do not lay additional emphasis on controlling measures. Under the Indian conditions the typical annual reservoir evaporation loss is of the order of 160 cm. The hydrological water balance equation based on the continuity concept [Mutreja, 1986]is as follows:
P + Ic + Ig = Q + ET + Oc + Og + Sm + Sg + Sd + L(2)
where, P : precipitation
Ic : surface inflow into basin through channels,
Q : runoff
Ig : groundwater inflow into the basin,
ET : evapotranspiration
Oc: surface outflow from basin thro' channels,
Sm : soil moisture change
Sg : change in groundwater storage
Sd : change in depression storage and
L : loss through deep percolation. In Equation (2) above, we can improve the values of Sm, Sg and Sd by minimising Q, ET, Oc, Og and L. This is what is essentially achieved in any rainwater harvesting system. This has the capability to overcome the water scarcity situations. Rainwater harvesting is the universally recommended technique in which attempts are made to conserve rainwater wherever it falls by creating surface and sub-surface storage. Various rainwater harvesting techniques such as those through percolation pits for individual houses, permeable beds for building complexes, ponds, wells cum canals, open wells, service cum recharge wells, defunct bore wells, sub-surface storage created due to broken bricks method, cisterns, underground sumps, drinking water jars, surface and sub-surface water tanks, artificial glaciers, long underground tunnels, surface water reservoirs created by check dams and so on need to be considered as per their suitability [Ramakrishnan, 1998].
In addition to these techniques, there are other appropriate conservation practices which need to be encouraged and inappropriate depletion or wasteful practices which need to be strongly discouraged. These include:
- Educating the water users about low cost/quantity and high benefit/quality alternatives and thereby to promote a cautious utilization approach from 'wash basin level' to the 'river basin level'.
- Strongly encouraging the use of rainwater of not so good quality for non-drinking purposes discouraging the 'groundwater mining' (i. e., over-exploitation of groundwater).
- Promoting better irrigation practices like sprinkler irrigation (even for paddy cultivation) [Sivanappan, 2000] and drip irrigation and preventing wasteful practices like flooding or furrow irrigation.
- Adopting appropriate techniques for preventing losses such as deep percolation of groundwater and thereby to ensure a favourable water balance.
Concluding Remarks
Water is a very scarce commodity and unless it is properly managed, one can not avoid adverse and paradoxical situations such as temporal scarcity in above-average rainfall areas and lack of drinking water due to pollution or contamination of abundant water in general. In all such cases, there is always a scope for developing/adopting appropriate water management strategies either involving RS/GIS or otherwise which can ensure a favourable benefit-cost ratio as well as an acceptable water use efficiency. One of the shloka from the Indian Epic 'Mahabharata' '….Pranetavyam Vichakshanaih', meaning '….needs intelligent control' should serve as the guiding principle for us always and everywhere [Subramanya, 1986].

What is Theatre Criticism?
Whether it's a Brechtian verbatim piece with clunkily-integrated physical theatre sequences, an 'edgy' comedy which uses so-called-satire as a vessel for unbridled hate speech, or yet another bland and loosely misogynistic two-hander written by a straight white man in his forties, there are many plays I have watched and not enjoyed.
This will come as no surprise to any of my culturally-inclined friends, who often get the privilege (read: misfortune) of receiving rants about said plays messaged to them on my walk back home from the theatre. What is important here is that I am aware that this is not 'criticism' - or rather, not criticism-as-critical-practice, and not something I would ever put in a public forum as a response to a piece of work.
Around ninety-percent of arguments in the arts industries, I would suggest, boil down to individuals speaking at cross-purposes with regards to the meaning of 'criticism'. Here, I'm thinking of how the word 'criticism' has two definitions. First, "the expression of disapproval of someone or something on the basis of perceived faults or mistakes" ("he received a lot of criticism"). Second, "the analysis and judgement of the merits and faults of a literary or artistic work" ("alternative methods of criticism supported by well-developed literary theories"). Theatre criticism, as I see it, is about the latter. It is about engaging analytically with a piece of work - unpacking and interrogating the directorial, dramaturgical and scenographic choices that were made, and putting them in dialogue with the broader socio-political context. Theatre criticism is not about the former: it is not giving an objective judgement on whether a play is 'good' or 'bad' (though star-reviews might encourage otherwise). The issues arise when these two definitions become conflated: where arts writers claim to write the first, but in fact write the second, or where theatre makers dispute the second as though it was the first.
A brand of criticism which is geared around writing vicious pull-quotes and nitpicking flaws is not only outright cruel, but also brings into question why we write criticism to begin with. Though not to claim some sort of universal, singular remit for the theatre critic, criticism is - as I understand it - not only to give a sense of the production to outside audiences, but also to enter into a productive dialogue with the work: to hold it accountable, to interrogate how meaning is made within it, to facilitate conversations about it. If the death of the arts industry comes when the work is the end of the conversation, criticism is the metaphorical NHS. Criticism is vital and dialogic and, fundamentally, not a good/bad decision but a critical discussion. Criticism cannot be simplified to a judgement of quality, and to attempt to do so is an insult to what criticism sets out to do.
When I write criticism, I always try to do so kindly and constructively (and I will be the first to admit that I do not always get this right). I also try to do so with an awareness that criticism is always subjective and partial and positional, and - fundamentally - contingent on the context is it being made in. If I'm watching a piece of community theatre, who am I to say that I have the final word on whether or not it is 'good'? What does 'good' even mean in this context? Though I might find it dull, the same is likely untrue for the friends of the lead, who may have never stepped foot in a theatre before: why does my experience (tarnished by subconscious, Western-centric expectations of what theatre 'should' look like) hold more water than theirs? Good criticism acknowledges this positionality, and what the work means in the context of both the reviewer and the reviewed.
Of course, this all raises its own problematics of value judgements: who am I to say what 'good' criticism is? Absolutely, I cannot claim to be any sort of arbiter of 'correct' critical practice, nor do I wish to be seen as such. Instead, I write as a provocation to practice criticism more equitably and ethically, and in ways that - I believe - make for a happier industry which makes better work. Equally, I write with the full awareness that marketisation of arts journalism means that click-counts and snatch quotes sometimes take priority over ethics - crucially, in ways that individual arts writers might not have control over.
Fundamentally, I write in defence of every theatre-maker who has woken up the morning after press night to find themselves unduly slated. I write in defence of every woman, LGBTQ+ person, disabled person and person of colour who has been targeted in a review - lauding itself as objective judgement of quality - in light of their identity. I write in defence of hoping for a fairer industry, and of taking positive steps toward creating it. I write because I am tired of my colleagues seeing reviews as an objective statement on their abilities, and of others writing criticism which attempts to be so. I write as a gentle call-in to those others, and as a reminder to myself.

When I write about people finishing their PhD, I find it difficult to string together the right words to convey such a tremendous accomplishment.
Hours of work, research, late nights, thousands of cups of coffee and pages read, all culminating in a paper embossed with "Doctor of Philosophy." Can we all pause and recognize the years it takes to earn that diploma?
I don't have the right words. But I'm in awe at the grit and tenacity of PhD graduates.
Sherry is no exception. She worked hard, hustled, put in years of work, and now she has her PhD. Way to go Dr. Craft!
A few years ago, when I first met Sherry I was blown away by her beauty (she has serious hair goals you guys!), her intelligence, and kindness. One of my favorite Sherry memories is when I helped her throw a surprise bridal shower for our friend, Sam. Sherry had every detail perfectly planned and organized. We had so much fun surprising Sam, and then of course, enjoyed plenty of champagne.
We celebrated Sherry's hard-earned PhD by taking graduation photos on the Washington State University Pullman campus. Sherry's mom came along too! I think it is so cool to get your graduation photos with someone who has supported you during your degree. We all need support people!
Of course, campus was freezing, so we just leaned into the chilly vibes and brought along warm Starbucks drinks.
I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoy taking them!

What IF Conference!
On, February 6th, the Impact Foundry ran their 3rd annual What IF Conference. This full-day conference focused on "Creating Sustainable Community Change." They broke down the day into workshops, a keynote, more workshops, and a keynote panel.
The day was full of content and community building as nonprofits, philanthropists, corporates, and community members engages with one another. The workshops offered at the conference were:
What do you mean it's taxable? We're tax exempt!
Golf: The contact sport for business & for life
Trends in Philanthropy
Cannabis: Is it a potential partner with your cause?
Words matter: Achieving goal begin with the power of narrative
Introduction to Project Management
Engaging Millennials Through a Strength-Based Approach
Harnessing the Power of Volunteers: Boosting Capacity and Increasing Efficiency
One of our SVP Board Members, Jessica Hubbard, led the Trends in Philanthropy workshop. We were excited to have one of our partners and board members lead the conversation on philanthropy. She talked about the way in which different generations give, the giving amongst individuals, corporates, and foundations, as well as the use of technology in garnering new donors.
The keynote speech was delivered by Dan Pallotta who spoke about the reasoning behind why the nonprofit sector has remained at 2% of GDP. He outlined 5 core reasons which were:
Rewards for Nonprofit Leaders
Lack of Ability to Invest in Marketing & Advertising
Lack of Ability to Take Risks
Don't Have Profit as an Attractor for Capital
If you have not heard Dan's Ted Talk we highly recommend watching. You can view his Ted Talk here.

WHEN WE'RE SINGIN Kickstarter Book image(2).jpg
Johnny Ray Miller completed more than 100 interviews for his new book, "When We're Singin'."
(Johnny Ray Miller)
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Not too long ago, Northeast Ohio native Johnny Ray Miller was just another Partridge Family fan making his way in the world.
A "huge, huge, huge" encounter with David Cassidy in 2009 changed that. The theater director was working at the Barrow-Civic Theatre in Franklin, Pennsylvania, when he booked Cassidy for a concert.
"It was the most profitable show at the Barrow in its 50-year history," says Miller, who today is a freelance director based in Negley, Ohio. "Cassidy loved it there, he was so complimentary and happy with it.
"As a huge fan, you can imagine how that made me feel - meeting the idol I grew up."
Miller wasn't content to just revel in the glory, however. That encounter with Cassidy led to an idea: a book devoted to the Partridge Family - but not just the stars, the musicians behind the scenes, too.
"At one point, I went so far as to try and convince a few writer friends of mine to do it. The thought had never occurred to me to attempt it myself. Until..."
Until that meeting led Miller to try to do it himself. By the end of the next year, he was sitting in Shirley Jones' living room and the book was well on its way, with collaboration from Cassidy, Jones and most of the cast, producers and musicians.
"I think David's good experience led him to spread the word, and I called Shirley Jones one day. She said, 'Why don't you come over?' So I coolly said, 'Sure,' hung up the phone and called a friend who was a flight attendant and got a buddy pass. I was there by the end of the week.
"Once I got her, it was easy to approach other people involved with the show."
The result is "When We're Singin': The Story of The Partridge Family and Their Music" - a book Miller spent the last five years writing. He conducted more than 100 interviews including Cassidy, Jones, most of the cast, nearly all the surviving musicians who played on the albums, the real background singers and nearly every surviving songwriter who wrote songs specifically for the Partridge Family.
He spent weeks and weeks researching at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Archives in Cleveland.
There are also 50 pages of photos from the archives of Cash Box magazine and other sources, notably the Henry Diltz collection of photos from his personal archives. Diltz was Cassidy's personal photographer both on and off the set.
Now Miller has completed the book, but he's asking for help to get it out. Instead of seeking a publisher, the enthusiastic author has launched a Kickstarter campaign to self-publish "When We're Singin': The Partridge Family and Their Music." He's asking for $23,955. The campaign ends in four days and is currently funded at more than $21,000.
The campaign will help Miller print 1,000 copies, with 50 color pages, of a collectible 9-by-6-inch hardback book to commemorate the 45th anniversary of "The Partridge Family," which will be in December. The funding goal will be used to cover the costs involved in the printing, legal fees, copy-editing fees, graphic design and layout fees, to name just a few.
Rewards for contributors range from guitar picks and retro-cool "Partridge Family" patches and bookmarks to signed lyric sheets, and the ultimate prize: A Squire Fender Guitar signed by session guitarists Dennis Budimir, Max Bennett and Joe Osborn. These musicians are known as part of the "Wrecking Crew," the musicians who backed Elvis Presley, Glen Campbell, The Mamas and The Papas, Sonny & Cher and many more.
Miller is fairly confident, but nervous, as his deadline approaches. "I'm getting so close, I'm running on adrenaline," he says.
He says he has received contributions from fans around the world, and Cassidy is helping promote it on his personal Facebook page.
"There are so many stories in here that people have never heard before," he adds. "I thought I was a die-hard, but I didn't even know these. Stories behind the songs, and even the history of the bus after the show. It's fascinating."

Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas announced the Victorians public sector wages bill is forecast to spring over 16 percent of the forward estimates, increasing by $2 Billion this financial year, with estimates of increases to $33.1 billion by 2023.
Pallas also announced the government will withdraw just under $2 billion from the state public sector over the next four years, including a further $1.77 billion in new 'whole of government efficiencies'. Annual wage growth in Victoria is predicted to increase by approximately 3 percent next financial year, higher than the national growth rate of 2.75 percent in the federal budget. The national and Victorian annual wage growth rates are predicted to increase to 3.25 percent and roughly 3.5 percent in the subsequent two years.
Pallas' further remarks upon the cuts explaining that they would be successfully achieved without any job reductions and any redundancies would be considered as a 'last resort'. An additional $200 million will be saved through the cuts to spending on consultancies and labour hire, as flagged before last year's state election. The new enterprise agreements off the back of these budget cuts are due to be renegotiated with paramedics, police, and roughly 40,000 public sector servants potentially forcing the Andrews government to face numerous industrial battles with unions.
Repercussions of the cuts have yielded economic forecasts and indicators towards the underlying balance for the nominal gross state product to increase from $451 billion to Wages: Tipped $548.5 billion, as well as an increase in the unemployment rate from 4.5 to 5.5 percent by the year 2022-23, per Victorian budget papers. The state budget papers further indicated the government employee expenses, including superannuation, were forecast to grow from $26.52 billion last year to $28.57 billion in July. Employee expenses are forecast to grow a further $29.7 billion by July next year to $31.2 billion a year later, and a subsequent $33.1 billion by July 2023. 80 Percent of this year's public sector wage forecasts are higher than predicted last year, with the wages bill for the 2020-21 financial year expected to increase to $500 million from 12 months ago. CPSU Victorian secretary Karen Batt said the Treasury wage forecasts "Over the forward years augurs well for bargaining next year and beyond". Last year's state budget saw the public sector wages bill increase 11.2 percent and the government deviating from previous forecasts by $1.5 billion to finance the pay rises and recruitment of staff ahead of the election. Treasury commented Victorian wages growth had been "below trend" over the current economic cycle, consistent with national and international movements.
Government infrastructure investment has increased just under $8 billion from the financial year 2015 per the Victorian budget papers. Treasury has said the growth reflected increases in the public sector workforce, hospitals, and schools inclusive along with pay rises flowing from renegotiations within enterprise agreements. In opposition Treasury spokeswoman, Louise Staley said public sector wages had "blown out by 42 percent under the Andrews government but critically with no real increase in frontline services".
Despite unions accepting the government assurance that public sector spending cuts would not result in redundancies, the Greens Treasury spokesman Sam Hibbins said the budget was "built on the back of cuts to public sector jobs and wages'. He further mentioned that nearly $2 billion will be taken away from the public sector, and not being taken away from the large bank profits or property developers, the labor government has gone after public sector jobs and wages. Victorian Chamber of commerce and industry chief executive Mark Stone called for recurrent government spending to be kept in check. "Business wants to see the government commit to keeping public sector wage growth in line with the private sector.

Take Two...For Safety: But Nobody Told Me
Take Two means taking two minutes to think through a job before you start it, so you can make sure you work as safely as possible. TAKE stands for:
T = Talk
A = Actions
K = Knowledge
E = Equipment
That's all it takes is two minutes. It can mean the difference between doing your job safely or never being able to do your job again. Remember, Take Two... and don't leave safety to luck. The combination of a written set of rules and regulations, a safety program and fair amount of commonsense is the recipe for success.

Boluwatife: 10-year-old passionate gospel artiste
Boluwatife Oriola is the daughter of Gbenro and Funmilayo Oriola, who are natives of Ondo State. She was born in Akute, Ogun State on October 13, 2008, making her 10 years old. She is presently in JSS 2 at Wisdomway Comprehensive High School, Lagos.
On her love for music, which has led to her current position, Boluwatife's parents said they observed that she has a musical talent since she was three years old.
They said: "She always sings and listens to music. The amazing thing is that she quickly learns the song she listens to, even if she is just hearing it for the first time. She is performing tremendously in the children choir of her church. Indeed, she is the children's choir master at RCCG Prayer Network parish."
And because of her obvious passion for music, her parents decided to nurture and help her to fully develop her talent. They encourage her by supporting and helping her achieve her dream in this regard.
When she was eight years old, Boluwatife started composing and writing songs. At the age of nine, Boluwatife entered the studio on March 12, 2018 and did very well.
In two days, she was able to record seven tracks of gospel songs. Now, Boluwatife has released an album with nine tracks to her credit, which include God Bless Nigeria.
She released the track, God Bless Nigeria on October 10, 2018, and was invited to the Independence Day programme to perform the song live, which she honoured.
Boluwatife has also been invited to many radio stations for interview on the track, God Bless Nigeria. These include Radio Lagos, Traffic Radio, Radio Nigeria radio 1, Live Way Radio and Eko FM, among others.
And because of this prophetic song she produced for Nigeria, she is always being invited to churches for ministration, where she mostly performs praise and worship.
Now fully into gospel music, Boluwatife is a well-loved gospel artiste, who loves other gospel artistes.
However, Boluwatife needs assistance, support, and sponsorship for her ministry to grow. Like every other effort in life, she is being confronted with the challenge of properly building a strong foundation to enable her realise her mission.

Matt Kenseth helped John Krasinski get on 'The Office'
Matt Kenseth is known in the NASCAR world for his subtle, dry and sarcastic sense of humor. Sometimes he says things in such a deadpan tone, it's almost like he's the real life version of Jim from The Office.
So it makes sense that Kenseth was the perfect match for an ad with John Krasinski. But this was back in 2002 when the NASCAR driver was peaking in his career and the actor was largely unknown, and the commercial ultimately led to Krasinski's Office audition.
The DeWalt commercial is hilarious with Kenseth somehow maintaining his straight face while Krasinski plays a goofy, wannabe driver trying to get Kenseth's attention.
Krasinski explained how it all happened on NPR's Fresh Air last year. After hearing a funny clip from the ad, he said:
"That was a huge performance, and I remember we had a little bit of script and Matt Kenseth had said he doesn't want to have a line in the script. He was very shy, and he just wanted to walk through the commercial.
"And then at the end of the day, they just asked 'Would you just improv and have fun, and let's see what we got?' And we just kept going. And I think they just watched the dog go off the leash, and I went crazy just improving all this stuff. By the end, Matt said, 'Well now I do want to say some stuff.'
"So he came in, and we were joking around all day. It was probably one of the more fun times I've had, certainly before I got The Office."

The picture is oddly misleading, the gray version has not black piping/striping but gray material which turns out fine, just not as much of color contrast that one visualizes in the photo. Seems the black per a review is also not actually black. Good functional top, warm enough, though I am not sure if it will handle wind well. Time will tell.

In February, several major media outlets about bitcoin wrote about "the biggest attack Monero stealth miner", created on the basis of the script Coinhive. Hackers penetrated a few thousand resources, but are mined only $ 24.

Katrina KaifLike everyone else, the New Year is all about starting afresh for me. I don't believe in making resolutions, I believe in making goals because the moment one misses the mark on a resolution, one feels like a failure. With a goal, a missed mark is just a temporary setback. The difference lies in mentality-one is psychologically devastating, and the other can be mobilising.
The year 2012 is an exciting yet hectic time for me. The release of movies like Ek Tha Tiger, Dhoom 3 and the Dostana sequel are going to keep me on my toes. Also there will be shooting schedules, various other personal and professional commitments that will keep me extremely busy all year round.
I did not plan such a busy year, but it just happened to be so because of my professional commitments. I took on all my projects after listening to the scripts, focusing on the characters, and liking all the facets of experimentation that a role had to offer. So it's natural for me to be excited as not only am I part of mega projects, but I also look forward to working harder in 2012.
While working hard and keeping really long hours round the clock, my challenge this year will be to ensure that I take time out for myself for a work-out that involves yoga. It keeps me fresh and fit and I believe that a healthy mind and a healthy diet are mandatory if you want to be beautiful. My beauty regime is quite simple.
When not shooting, I never wear make-up and I keep things natural. I start my day with four glasses of water, avoid foods with starch and focus on having fresh boiled vegetables. If I get hungry, I eat fruits. The way one looks, honestly, has a lot to do with how one feels.
When one is at peace with themselves, it immediately reflects on their face. I believe in inner peace and that is happiness for me. The sense of contentment, being grounded and the realisation that you are important just the way you are, no more or no less, is the kind of wholesome beauty that I strive to achieve and propagate.
As told to Swati Chaturvedi.
