In the Wilderness, We Find God
By Liz Core, a senior at Goshen College
Reprinted from Advent Devotionals
What did you go out into the wilderness to see?
Jesus asks this question to a crowd after meeting John the Baptist's disciples, who were inquiring about Jesus' identity. Is he the one they've been waiting for? Is it true the Messiah had come? Jesus' answer is to ask them to hear and watch what has come because of his life. The blind see, the lame pick up their mats, the lepers made clean, even the dead awakened. He seems to be saying, "If this is what you've been waiting for, then 'yes.'"
Then, in a whir of rhetoric and analogy, Jesus turns to the crowd and asks, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see?"
The wilderness, the place where the Baptist dwelt, was a place that I imagine many sought out.
John was a man with disciples, after all.
The wilderness was a place of searching — the arena for answers about life, fulfillment, salvation and prophesy. John lived in the wide-open, strange spaces away from society and the pull of formalities. He wore almost nothing, he ate almost nothing, and everything about him was meager by most standards. His life was so radically weird compared to the standard. Yet, people still wanted to hear what he had to say, and Jesus really, really liked him. He called him the best born among women.
That is, the best. Of all.
Who John was and the place that John dwelt was mysterious. But his life's work was giving God glory and abandoning his own. Jesus commends him, but also says that anyone who is "least in the kingdom" is even greater than John.
So, I think about this question, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see?"
In the wilderness — a place that carries us away from our comfort zones and from material — we find answers. We find the radical kingdom that Jesus desires to see on earth — one of making ourselves less and God greater.
In the wilderness, we find God.
Matthew 11:2-11 (NRSV)

Many of us still have a difficult time waking up in the morning. Whether it's to go to school or to work it can be very hard to get out of bed some mornings. We've put together a list of tips and tricks to help get you moving in the morning. Whether you're at risk of missing first period or your first meeting for the day.
1. Go to Bed Early
I know, I know, this seems like a very basic suggestion. But it truly is the key to a good night sleep. Many people struggle with being able to shut off the electronics or their minds early enough to put in a solid 8 hours. There can be all different kinds of distractions and many reasons to stay up but try going to be an hour or so earlier than normal, it'll make all the difference.
2. Do Your Stretches
When you wake up in the morning the first thing you should do is stretch. This helps get the blood flowing and helps wake up your body and your mind. You won't be focused on how tired you are if you do a task instead of hitting the snooze button for the fifth time.
3. Give Yourself Time Before You Have to Leave
Waking up at the last minute and rushing out the door is no way to start your day. You'll still be tired because you haven't given your body enough time to wake up. Try waking up with enough time to relax, maybe make some breakfast or some coffee and catch up on the news or a TV show before you have to leave the house and start your day. Energizing your mind will help wake you up and get you ready to start your day!
4. Do Something You Enjoy to Pump You Up
This goes hand in hand with #3. Give yourself time to do something you enjoy so you can invigorate your mind in the morning. Whether this is listening to your favourite band to pump you up, reading the newspaper, making a fresh pot of coffee, or leaving early to chat with friends or coworkers before your workday begins. Putting yourself in a good mood first thing in the morning will not only help wake you up but will shape your attitude for your whole day!
5. Go For a Walk Before Breakfast
Starting your morning with a walk will help to get your body moving. Exercise in the morning will help wake you up and as a bonus is a great weight loss technique as you burn more fat and calories if you exercise before having your first meal. And if you have a dog (or cat!) who needs a walk, you both can take a quick walk around the block and start your day off right.

Collision detection for virtual environment using particle swarm optimization with adaptive cauchy mutation
Rapid and accurate detection of collision between virtual objects is crucial for many virtual reality based applications. In order to ensure a high-level of accuracy and to meet the real-time requirement, a fast collision detection algorithm between soft bodies is proposed. The developed algorithm is a combination of stochastic methods and particle swarm optimization with adaptive Cauchy mutation. The hierarchical bounding box method is used for a rough detection in order to filter out obvious disjoint space, and the problem is converted to a nonlinear optimization problem based on the distance of points. Then particle swarm optimization with adaptive Cauchy mutation is used to find the optimal solution. When it is updated iteratively, keeping some particles experience value and variation of other particles avoids particles trapped in local optimum, which further accelerates the speed of collision detection. The algorithm is implemented and evaluated through experiments and the results confirm the advantages of the developed algorithm.

I first read about Avid announcing a free version of Media Composer on DIY Photography and was excited to see such a powerful tool being made available at no cost to the end user. This is a great way to saturate the prosumer/hobbyist/YouTube market with an already dominated Premiere Pro and Final Cut software users.
My first inclination was that Avid will chalk this offer up with a bunch of hiding cost, but that is not the case, as it utilizes software licensing and not a traditional hardware key. That is pretty dang neat! Avid is planning on releasing Media Composer in late 2015, as it is still being developed. You can find out more details on Avid's FAQ page

Short Biography & Significant Contribution
Aaron Benavot is Professor in the
School of Education at the University at Albany-State University of New York
with interests in global education policy and comparative and international
education. Before taking up his position at the
University at Albany-SUNY, he served four years as Senior Policy Analyst on the
Education for All Global Monitoring Report team at UNESCO headquarters in
Paris. He contributed to the development and drafting of four monitoring
reports on: adult literacy (2006), early childhood care and education (2007), a
mid-term review of EFA progress (2008) and educational inequality and
governance (2009) (www.efareport.unesco.org). He has also consulted and
prepared background papers for various UNESCO Institutes, UNICEF and the World
Benavot's overarching intellectual project
focuses on the contours and worldwide institutionalization of 'basic'
education, especially--though not limited to--the curricular frameworks and
policies that nations put into place. He has conducted or collaborated in
cross-national and comparative-historical studies of: the historical expansion
of primary education (Benavot and Riddle 1989); the convergence (and
divergence) of official curricular structures (Benavot et al 1991, Benavot
2008); the prolongation of compulsory schooling (Benavot and Resnik 2006); the
curricular diversification of secondary education (Benavot 2006, Kamens and
Benavot 2006); school agency in curricular implementation (Benavot and Resh
2003); the changing status of vocational education (Benavot 1983); the
explosion of national learning assessments (Benavot and Tanner 2007); and the
growing power and impact of international testing exercises (Kamens and Benavot
2011; Meyer and Benavot 2013). His earlier research explored education's impact
on important societal outcomes such as economic development (Benavot 1989;
1992) and political democratization (Benavot 1996).
In recent years, his scholarship and
policy-oriented writing have highlighted issues of school quality and 'quality
education'. This follows from his interest in the contents and 'grammar' of
schooling-in other words, the knowledge and embedded practices to which
schooled children are exposed when they arrive in the classroom. He is
particularly interested in the broad social, policy and institutional
conditions that enable learning to take place (or not) in schools. He has
written about the loss of instructional time in Africa (Benavot and Gad 2004);
the lack of alignment between official subject syllabi and the contents of
authorized textbooks in reading and mathematics in primary education in the
so-called 'developing' world (Benavot 2012); and the inattention to textbook
policies in discussions of the provision of quality education (Benavot 2011).
Benavot has co-authored or edited five books
including School knowledge for the masses (with J. Meyer and D. Kamens), Law
and the shaping of public education (with D. Tyack and T. James), Global
educational expansion: Historical legacies and political obstacles (with J.
Resnik and J. Corrales), School knowledge in comparative and historical
perspective (with C. Braslavsky) and PISA, Power, and Policy: The Emergence of
Global Educational Governance (with Heinz-Dieter Meyer).
Benavot previously taught in the sociology
departments at the University of Georgia (1985-1990) and the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem (1990-2007) and has served as a visiting professor at universities
in Argentina, Japan, Germany, Italy, Malta, France and Israel. He has been
involved in European Union-sponsored socio-economic research as a consortium
partner, lead partner and proposal evaluator. He received a post-doctoral
National Academy of Education fellowship from the Spencer Foundation (USA) and
a national Alon Fellowship (Israel).
Benavot has served as Coeditor of the
Comparative Education Review [USA] (2009-2012), and currently serves on the
scientific or advisory boards of the following journals: Revista
Latinoamericana de Educación Comparada [Argentina]; Mediterranean Journal of Educational
Studies [Malta]; Revista de Educación [Spain]; and Innovation-The European
Journal of Social Science Research [Austria].

Before you can nail the right Father's Day gift, you need to know what kind of dad you've got. Chances are, he's on this list, as are the perfect Coach gifts you need to be his favorite this year. Need to ask him for a favor? These gifts have you covered.
Living His Dreams Dad
This dad has been training you to be a star pitcher since you could walk, probably because he put his own aspirations aside when you were born (YOU'RE WELCOME). As a kid, you wouldn't dare tell him bad news before the Cubs won in extra innings.
Leather baseball glove
He's still trying to get you to improve that fastball. And yes, Coach makes a baseball glove. ($350)
MLB compact id wallet
Dad's been a diehard fan for longer than you've been alive. ($195)
MLB key ring
Just to show off. ($65)
He does it all: parenting, good husband, yard work, house and auto maintenance, cares for the dog… and occasionally swoops in to save you from your misadventures. May have also disappeared for lengths at a time, since he was juggling two jobs on top of all this.
Dopp kit
Even during an arduous business trip, he still looks on point. ($295)
Metropolitan slim brief
Of course, he's killing it at work too. ($395)
Patchwork Manhattan backpack
For carrying everything you forgot to bring. ($650)
Preppy Dad
If you grew up anywhere in New England, you've met this dad. He dresses like it's Easter every day and still holds secret pro golf aspirations. Style icon: Mitt Romney.
Rip and repair compact id wallet
Monogrammed, naturally. ($195)
75th anniversary square sunglasses
It's blinding on that yacht. ($250)
Metropolitan leather backpack
For those weekend trips to the Hamptons. ($450)
Gadget Dad
Laughing in the face of convention, he's way better with technology than you are. He's always on top of the newest gadgets and latest tech, and carries around a backpack full of cables and battery backups.
Rip and repair tech envelope case
For carrying the latest iPad Mini or kindle -- that you don't have. ($125)
75th anniversary Delancey ionized plated leather strap watch
Every so often, he needs to switch up the look. Go for analog. ($325)
Campus backpack
Large enough to lug his latest electronic obsession. ($595)
DIY Dad
This dad hasn't seen a repairman in decades. He's constantly mulling over some new project, sketching out ideas, or working in the garage, between occasional trips to the emergency room.
Bleecker backpack
For the rugged look. He didn't make it himself, but he can say he did. ($698)
MLB paperweight
When the fix isn't working, he'll want something he can toss around the workshop to relieve stress. ($75)
Modern varsity stripe passport case
For holding notes, sketches, and business cards he'll never need. ($150)

After catching a sneak peek at Miley Cyrus' next flick, "The Last Song," at shows on her Wonder World tour, fans were no doubt excited to see the film when it was supposed to open in January. But now MTV News has confirmed that the movie's release has been delayed to later in 2010.
The film — for which Cyrus has been showing a trailer, as well as singing a song off its soundtrack, "When I Look at You" — will now be released in April, a rep for the actress and a statement from Disney confirmed. "The date is now April 2," a rep said. "We found a better release date than January for it. It will open Easter weekend/spring break."
Cyrus filmed the Nicholas Sparks-penned film in Tybee Island, Georgia, over the summer. She's also been romantically linked to her co-star Liam Hemsworth. The "Hannah Montana" star has remained tight-lipped about those rumors, but she did say that the movie affected her life in some way.
"I changed a lot when I was in Tybee Island. I feel like art really does imitate life," Cyrus told MTV News. "I feel like I'm really showing a part of my growth as a person as well. So, I'm really excited for people to see it, just because of what it means to me, personally."
Check out everything we've got on "The Last Song."

Dear Colleague,
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. In 2014, 2.4 million adults aged 18 or older with a substance use disorder had serious thoughts of suicide in the past 12 months, including 779,000 who made suicide plans and 429,000 who made a nonfatal suicide attempt. Adults with a substance use disorder were more likely to report suicidal thoughts or behavior than adults who did not have a substance use disorder. Health care settings provide critical opportunities for individuals at risk of suicide to access effective treatment.
As the federal leader in behavioral health, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is committed to continuing to work with its partners to provide states, territories, tribal entities, communities, and the public with the assistance and resources they need. We would like to share with you SAMHSA's newest tool for suicide prevention, the Suicide Safe mobile app.
Suicide Safe is a free app that helps health care providers integrate suicide prevention strategies into their practice and assess suicide risk among their patients. The award-winning Suicide Safe is based on the nationally recognized Suicide Assessment Five-Step Evaluation and Triage (SAFE-T) card and helps providers:
- Confidently assist patients who present with suicidal ideation.
- Communicate effectively with at-risk patients and their families.
- Determine appropriate next steps.
- Make referrals to treatment and community resources.
The app, which features SAMHSA's Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator, is available for download on Apple® and Android™ smartphone and tablets.
To download Suicide Safe, visit http://store.samhsa.gov/apps/suicidesafe. Please also help us spread the word about Suicide Safe with your colleagues and peers. Everyone has a role to play in preventing suicide.
For further information or if you have any questions, please contact Mitra Ahadpour, MD at email@example.com at any time.

About two weeks ago, I watched Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street for the second time. Unlike the first time, I gave my best attention to the movie, which made it feel like the first time I watched the movie, because I just realized the darkness of the story and the characters. When I was sleeping that night, I got a weird and slightly nightmarish dream. Now I don't remember what it was about, but I remember the heavy feeling I had the next morning.
Besides the dark theme, I actually got intrigued by the songs, which really add the dramatic impression on the movie. The song I kept singing, even after days later, were "Johanna" and the one I attached in this post, "Not While I'm Around."
"Johanna" is a creepy song if it's seen from different perspective (Anthony is a young man who keeps saying "I feel you," "I'll steal you," "I'm at your window," "I am in the dark beside you," and "Buried sweetly in your yellow hair," despite only seeing Johanna from outside her window once or twice). However, the cleverly dramatic lyrics and the hypnotizing voice of Jamie Campbell Bower make it easy for the song to get stuck in my head, and after I read that particular comment on YouTube, when I was about to eat a banana one day, I couldn't help but singing, "I'll peel you, banana…" 😆
Meanwhile, for me, "Not While I'm Around" exposes a deeper feeling than that of Anthony and Johanna. Mrs. Lovett may not be a lovable character in the story, but she is a mother figure for Toby, the boy who ends up helping her in the restaurant, who is an orphan. In the end, Mrs. Lovett indeed prioritizes Todd over Toby, but the reluctance in her eyes when she shuts the door of her baking room clearly shows that she is fond of the boy. For Toby, Mrs. Lovett is the only one he can trust. The way Mrs. Lovett treats him, which is full of love in his eyes, is the reason of his loyalty. That is why, when his suspicion toward Todd grows bigger, he confides to Mrs. Lovett, and even promises to protect the lady. Although Toby is not especially a naive boy, his love is still an innocent one, without any greed, and the irony in the story is that his pure kind of love is the one leading him to the end of his innocence.
Now, regardless of the story in the movie, the song itself evokes strong emotion. It shows one's awareness of dangers surrounding the one they love and how they will protect them, while not being oblivious of their own weaknesses. I can say that in my opinion, among all the sorrowful and desperate songs in the movie, "Not While I'm Around" is the tenderest, the one giving a kind of balance in the story, and yet the most ironic one.

Luckily, we can measure these fluctuations in samples that are dated by other methods.Tree rings can be counted and their radiocarbon content measured.
Australia has two machines dedicated to radiocarbon analysis, and they are out of reach for much of the developing world.From these records a "calibration curve" can be built (see figure 2, below).A huge amount of work is currently underway to extend and improve the calibration curve.These new techniques can have a dramatic effect on chronologies.
With the development of a new method of cleaning charcoal called ABOx-SC, Michael Bird helped to push back the date of arrival of the first humans in Australia by more than 10,000 years.
The calibrated date is also presented, either in BC or AD or with the unit cal BP (calibrated before present - before 1950).

Sun Ringle's Charger Pro wheels are light, lively and tubeless-ready, but unfortunately short-lived. Sun make Stan's No Tubes Rims anyway and now they've licensed their tubeless-ready Bead Seat Technology design for their own wheels. Add 24, tight-laced double- butted Wheelsmith spokes front and rear and the result is a lightweight and stiff-feeling trail wheelset.
Our last set proved that they can take a hammering, and converting them to tubeless-ready running with rim strip and sealant is easy. They're compatible with axle standards too. Sadly we've never had much luck with the bearings on freehubs on Ringlé hubs – all our test sets died of various causes after a few months.

PLOT: Road warrior Max Rockatansky grudgingly joins forces with a woman as she flees a pitiless dictator after liberating his enslaved wives.
REVIEW: I can hardly fathom my feelings toward MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. It's been about 24 hours since I've seen it, and I'm still struggling to comprehend the piece of insane art it truly is. My heartbeat speeds up when I remember its finest moments - of which there are dozens and dozens. It's a movie that seems pulled directly from the minds of action-movie fans of all ages, a veritable smorgasbord of insane stunts, vehicular mayhem, and - sometimes more powerful of all - tender character moments. It offers honest-to-god breathless excitement courtesy of a director who is 70-years-old and a genuine visionary. This was one of the most fun, suspenseful and exhausting experiences I've ever had in the theater - or perhaps in any forum - and that's not hyperbole. I love MAD MAX: FURY ROAD to death, and I'll see it a hundred more times before my days are through.
To recap the plot is to miss the point of the movie, and while I'm not usually a fan of laboriously dishing out a film's synopsis, in this movie's case it would be particularly misguided. Here's what you need to know: Max Rockatansky (played Tom Hardy in full growly don't-fuck-with-me mode) is once again wandering the barren wasteland of his world alone... until he's not. As is his lot in life, Max must once again fight for a cause greater than himself, first because he's sort of thrust into it against his will, but eventually because his humanity can't help but peek through the surly armor; the man knows right from wrong, and is always going to be forced to choose the former.
In his latest plight, Max comes into the orbit of a brutal tyrant named Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), a masked monster hellbent on gaining himself an heir at the expense of a group of beautiful waifs he holds prisoner in his mountain fortress. After Max briefly finds himself a prisoner of Joe and his army of "warboys," he is soon enlisted into the noble journey of Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), who has been an unwilling lieutenant of Joe's her entire life until she finds the opportunity to escape his grasp, along with his bevy of young wives. Max, as usual, just wants to be left out of this, but nothing can prevent his destiny, which is to once again fight alongside the righteous.
Hardy's Max is a bit rougher around the edges than the one embodied by Mel Gibson, though they both have - as my mom would say - "kind eyes." Hardy is at his best when he's blending his inherent brutishness with a touch of vulnerability, so while Max is almost more animal than man when we meet him, he's softened by his eventual company, and we buy it. What is very heartening to discover is that this is Max, we never doubt it for a second. The character is as tortured as ever, haunted by nightmarish visions of his deceased daughter (the movie does a little bit of retconning in that regard) and completely dependable in the face of certain doom. It's good to have Max back.
And I'll join the chorus of voices singing the praises of Furiosa and Charlize Theron, a great character played by a great actress. Furiosa owns this movie; she's the real driving force (pun intended) behind the action, she's the voice of reason, she's the bravest character on screen at any given point, as well as the smartest. Theron has played a badass or two in her time, but not like this. With a shaved head, warrior paint on her face, a robotic arm and a look of steely determination in her eyes, Theron's Furiosa becomes the coolest big screen action heroine since Sigourney Weaver's Ripley. I can't want to see this character continue to evolve and kick ass.
While FURY ROAD's heroes are low on words and overt emotion, their humanity comes through in almost every scene, a beautiful and touching thing this bonkers movie has going for it. The relationship forged by Max and Furiosa is built on respect, and the movie thankfully doesn't waste much time with a "can they trust each other?" scenario; it shuttles past their initial grievances and makes them warriors in arms. Thankfully, there's no forced romance there, though that's not what you'll be looking for anyway. These two just want to survive alongside each other, and that's good enough. Hell, maybe they'd be able to have a real conversation if they ever stopped chasing or being chased.
Enough can't be said about what Miller does here. An orchestrator of beautifully mad chaos, the director is obviously having the time of his life playing the most expensive game of toy cars ever. In a day and age when movie budgets are out of control and you're always curiously left wondering where all that money went, every dollar of MAD MAX: FURY ROAD's massive budget is right there on screen. Tricked-out cars flip, fly, crash, burn and everything in between, and it all looks real goddamn it! The plausibility of the mayhem is part of what makes these action sequences some of the most visceral and thrilling ever made. And Miller, god bless him, actually knows how to direct action - he understands how to frame a shot, he knows when to cut away, he knows how to populate his screen with just the right balance of clutter and negative space. Miller gives us a master class in directing, not just action movie directing. Directing. If he doesn't receive an Oscar nomination for his work here, the system is broken and needs to be dismantled.
There's so much I'm not even mentioning, but that's fine, you'll see it for yourself. (Didn't even get around to Nicholas Hoult's supremely entertaining turn as Nux, a quirky and likable warboy in Joe's army.) It's never really easy grading a movie you've just seen; I usually like the film to sink in for a few days before doing so, but in this case the job demands I drop one on MAD MAX. I'm giving it a 10. I have nothing negative to say about the film, no complaints come to mind; it's all like some fiery, absurd fantasy I couldn't possibly hope to be real. But it is real; this is a movie we'll be able to cherish forever. That alone makes me smile. I can feel my heart beating fast again already.

Q: How LED works?
A: An LED consists of a chip of semiconducting material treated to create a structure called a p-n (positive-negative) junction. When connected to a power source, current flows from the p-side or anode to the n-side, or cathode, but not in the reverse direction. Charge-carriers (electrons and electron holes) flow into the junction from electrodes. When an electron meets a hole, it falls into a lower energy level, and releases energy in the form of a photon (light).

While laughing my head off and crying at the same time over the newly leaked "Wolf" practice video, (I'm still holding out hope that the atrocity will not be released and I can still live in my fantasy land of Exo) I came across an acoustic cover of "Wolf" by turnonyourtv.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIoJ4DY6-JM]
This time, I cried tears of happiness, because I finally found hope for the song.(Well guys, it turns out that SM is currently not a fan of covers of "Wolf" since it technically hasn't been released yet…)
Civilians Sing K-pop
I ended up going to through all of her covers, and here is a selection of them. I actually preferred the covers for songs that you normally wouldn't put an acoustic cover to (like the electronic stuff). Definitely check out her channel through the link above.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCiR2E65FQA] [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDToIpYTJR4] [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO40dxy_vvM]
So, of course, that gets my head spinning about covers, from covers done by K-pop artists themselves, to what people record on a rainy day at home. These are a couple other flavors of covers, and hopefully it will get you all exploring too.
K-pop Stars Sing English
I'm usually not a fan of English Covers, just because the phrasing and enunciation tends to be off. Plus, it's not like they're singing and understanding what the song means (often anyway). These below are some of my favorites despite my general dislike for English covers.
"Viva La Vida"
What kind of Younha fan would I be if I didn't include her fantastic cover of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida?" It's not entirely acoustic, so don't be fooled by the beginning.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAqDNGd3AiE]
"Speak Now"
I was really surprised at Seohyun's English pronunciation, so I just had to add it here, terrible princess dress aside.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwdqE_GMMec]
Technically Ailee isn't a K-pop star at the point the cover was made, but with impeccable English (she grew up in the states) and a killer voice, this is one of my favorite covers ever.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55Vj3PH-yxI]
K-pop Stars Sing K-pop
These are the covers that I enjoy watching, especially from rookie groups. It's interesting to see their takes on popular songs.
"I'll Be Back"
This is a surprisingly good cover of 2PM's "I'll Be Back" by 100% and actually made me take them seriously as a group. (Rookies tend to have a hard time getting on my personal lists…except Big Three groups get it easy. Why did I just guilt trip myself?) As a side note, avoid the "Mirotic" cover from them, because they don't have strong enough vocals to pull it off yet.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuRbfpR4hDs]
Boys are Girls, Girls are Boys
These are usually the funniest covers to watch, because of all the cross-dressing and the lightheartedness.
Do you think I'll pass up on one of the most hilarious covers ever, Super Junior's version of "Gee"?[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKq8vUFe5yU]
I'll be adding more as I come up with them, but in the meantime, what are some of your favorite covers? Let me know in the comments!

Tasha has been in the fitness industry since 1997 as a certified Fitness Professional. She has been certified by ACE, NASM and APEX and she has been an avid yoga practitioner since 2002. After having her first child she was looking for a way to relieve stress and heal her body from the wear and tear of the competitive sports she had participated in previously. After her first yoga class with Char Nuessle, she knew this would be her calling and she continued to further her studies in yoga. In March 2006, she studied Ashtanga Yoga under Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of India, and Sharath Rangaswamy during their World Tour in San Francisco and in June of 2007 in Hong Kong at the Asia Yoga Conference and just recently in New York of May 2017 with Pramaguru Sharath Rangaswamy. Tasha graduated from Yoga Hawaii's Teacher Training under the guidance of Rupali Embry & Tania Jo Ingram in July 2006. She continues her studies with Nicki Doane and Eddie Modestini of Maya Yoga where she travels to Maui frequently. She enjoys sharing her knowledge of yoga with all those who have a common quest of self realization.

and in a relaxed manner gives rise to harmony with the physical body.
Learned how to simply BE through yoga. She attended her first yoga class in 2010. Though reluctant to try yoga at first, Tina found self-rediscovery and a sense of new beginnings. The powerful transformational experience of yoga enriches her and helps her focus on her evolving life. She received her 200 RYT through the Wanderlust Teacher Training Program under the teachers Kate Baldwin and Lilly Barels. Her practice and self discovery continues to grow through the guidance and encouragement of her mentors Tasha Kauihou and Eden Monteilh. Finding peace and contentment in her yoga practice has helped Tina realize the importance and value of making more classes available to her community. She has a gentle and light-hearted style to teaching and hopes to help others find their breath and simply BE.
"Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious about who you are." - Jason Crandell
Lisa began her yoga journey in 2012, a year after she first moved to Hawaii. She was having a difficult time living so far from home and her best friend had just moved from Hawaii back to the east coast. Yoga began as something she could do to get out of the house, a way to exercise and move her body. Through yoga, Lisa was able to find a community of people where she felt she fit in. Having always been a worrier and an over thinker, she found herself experiencing less anxiety and being able to get out of her head. After much thought and consideration, she decided to pursue her 200 hr Teacher Training at YOGA4EWA under the guidance of Tasha Kauihou. She would like to help people achieve the same peace that she found through yoga.

The mantra "everything is temporary" during Tasha Kauihou's Vinyasa Fusion class, strengthened her daily commitment to yoga. Through her daily practice, Gonca has renewed her state of mind and strengthened her physical well-being, resulting in a more
confident and youthful person that is ready to inspire others to achieve the same.
With the support of family and her teacher's faith in her, Gonca completed her 200HR Yoga Teacher Training at YOGA4EWA in February of 2017 under the guidance of Tasha Kauihou. She still attends Tasha's Ashtanga and Vinyasa Fusion classes to grow and learn more. Gonca is so excited to share her yoga love with her students at YOGA4EWA. "I'd like to show my students the power of yoga so they can believe in themselves, and do anything they put their minds to".
Aaron started doing yoga in early 2016. His first yoga class awakened in him a curiosity to dive deeper into Yoga. He then tried a variety of different Yoga styles in studios all over Hawaii. In late 2016 he tried an Ashtanga Vinyasa class at YOGA4EWA with Tasha Kauihou. He was fascinated by this style of yoga that he wanted a better understanding of it. In 2017 he participated in his first Yoga Teacher Training also at YOGA4EWA. Which created a solid foundation and a deeper connection to this ancient practice. Since his first Teacher Training he has traveled all over Oahu, Northern California, and Southern California picking the brains of great teachers of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. He enjoys learning the subtleties of the Ashtanga practice. He believes that Yoga is a study of the self and
through the practice of Ashtanga Yoga (eight limbs) we can move through life with ease and a better understanding of who we are.
Jamie began her yoga journey in 2003 after the birth of her son. A Kansas born mother of three and wife she moved to Hawaii in 2012 and she fell in love with yoga! She's a Yoga enthusiast and outdoor adventurer to name a few, always seeking anything with movement. She didn't realize the importance of movement combined with finding stillness until she found yoga. Her yoga journey began with wanting to get fit and find energy after her son was born but soon realizing it was so much more than that. She continues to try to expand and deepen her daily practice. She feels Yoga is an amazing journey, and is beyond grateful for the practice She enjoys all yoga, some of her favorites are Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Ashtanga, & Gentle. Jamie received her 200HR Teacher Training certification at YOGA4EWA under the guidance of Tasha Kauihou. Jamie hopes to share with others her love of yoga.
Autumn began her yoga journey in 2008 as a means to maintain her dancer flexibility. However, she found that yoga helped her build strength, give her peace of mind, and overall have a healthier lifestyle. The balance of mind, body and spirit gave her the dream to share yoga with others. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Empowered Yoga, under the direction of Johnny Gillespie in 2013. Shortly after completion life threw a few curve balls, blessing her with two children in three years and relocating to Hawaii with her 'ohana. In 2016, she completed a second 200-hour yoga teacher training under the direction of Stacey Lanterman at Hawaiian Healing yoga, to enhance her knowledge and understand of the values of yoga as well as how to add a therapeutic touch to her teaching. Autumn is also certified for children's yoga as well as mommy and baby practices. She hopes to bring an awareness of breath and alignment to her students while having a light-hearted but therapeutic touch to her classes, bringing balance to lives. "I hope to be able to share the joy of yoga with as many people as possible."
Frania started practicing yoga in 2010 following a sport injury. Since then her practice has deepened spiritually as well. Using a combination of Yin, ashtanga, restorative and meditation she has been able to heal, grie, strengthen and overcome adversities. In 2017 she obtained her 200 hr Teacher Training through YOGA4EWA under the guidance of Tasha Kauihou. She enjoys helping others in every way possible and believes in the power of knowledge. In her classes she focuses on the therapeutic benefits of breathing and posture. Her goal is to help you maintain optimal health, lessen pain and build resilience.
Nicole has been practicing Vinyasa yoga on and off for several years. She had a difficult time maintaining a regular practice but would always turn to yoga for physical and mental healing during times of stress. She knew she needed to return to yoga when she moved from Colorado to Hawaii with her husband. Although exciting, the move also brought with it the loneliness of living in a new place, as well as uncertainties in her career path. She began attending classes at YOGA4EWA to begin spiritual, mental and physical healing. With the support of the amazing instructors, she finally developed a consistent practice and was able to reduce her stress and find self-confidence. Soon after, she was encouraged to pursue teaching. This felt like an opportunity to share her journey and help improve the lives of others through yoga. Nicole completed her 200 hour teaching training at YOGA4EWA under the guidance of Tasha Kauihou. She continues her love for Vinyasa Flow and looks forward to sharing the moving sequence with others to help calm the mind, challenge the physical body, and discover the spiritual self.

Stephen's 4 keynote speeches for your conference or meeting
#4 - Managing the Respectful Workplace:
understanding the laws with an emphasis on common sense
There are so many legal requirements regarding workplace behaviours and yet managers and supervisors are often at a loss to deal with them effectively. Not everyone knows (or cares) about the differences between harassment, bullying and discrimination…yet if an employer is caught being involved in those behaviours, they could get into a costly legal quagmire…and then they wish they had paid closer attention.
While reducing legal liability is important, the real payoff comes from creating a workplace where basic rights are respected with simple, understandable and agreed-upon practices. In this customized session your supervisors and managers will get a chance to discuss their concerns and fears about tackling what is often seen as a sensitive issue. Using thought-provoking and fun exercises, they will learn that adhering to legal workplace protections isn't as complex as it seems.
Participants will find out what must be done to avoid costly liability, employee turn-over and employee/customer dissatisfaction. At the end of the speech, your workplace leaders will feel more confident to address issues as they arise, instead of waiting until they become unmanageable, or very costly. Participants will also be able to respond to questions posed to them, by using state-of-the-art auto-responder keypads. And they will even be able to learn from the weird behaviours that have got other employers into trouble.
What's Included
Provocative examples where employers have made mistakes, so others can steer clear
Effective, simple and practical methods to address inappropriate workplace behaviours
Immediate responses from the audience
to difficult questions
complete audience engagement using
auto-response technology
Who Benefits?
Workplace leaders. Everyone who supervises people needs to know the legal obligations on behalf of their employer. If they don't, they risk an internal or external workplace complaint from a human rights commission or a ministry of labour. Of course, there is also the risk of bad publicity and bad customer relations. Workplace legislation deems most supervisors to represent management – especially those on the front-line.
Participants will benefit from a better understanding of the issues, and they will feel more confident to tackle most issues before they become big, messy and expensive. For those problems with more complexity, participants will know to seek advice from within their workplace instead of letting things get worse.
EVERY keynote is customized and there are no boring lectures. Stephen brings humour to even the most serious issues with complete audience engagement using auto-response technology. Attendees will be talking about this long afterwards.

Subject: Kindness is Happening!
Dear Dad,
Yesterday you asked me if you could forward the birthday email I sent you to everyone in your email address book. ( I know you feel compelled to do that.) You laughed and said "Then everyone could print the coupon and redeem it." I of course said no, but… I've reconsidered. I am now in the "Kindness Business" so if any one of your contacts find themselves in my neck of the woods and would like to redeem this coupon, I would be happy to oblige them, if I am home. (I would need a call before they come so I would have time to get baking!)
So… yes Dad, you may forward this email. (The coupon is attached.) If any of your friends are interested to see what my "Kindness Business" is about, maybe they will go to my new website: www.jirinasjourney.com
And watch this video! : https://vimeo.com/97763475 Ha Ha! Maybe your friends will have some ideas on how to get this program into their local elementary schools!
I love you very much and am glad you had a nice birthday throwing the first pitch at the Raptor's game!
Jill Trenholm
Jirina ' s Journey L.L.C.
Good things happen when you practice kindness!

Aloha! Get down with us for a funky, far out, boots-and-all breakdown of some of the most popular party themes for all ages. Rock on! After more than 20 years in the industry, the party animals here at Discount Party Warehouse know which themes are not only the most popular; but also the most successful. You'll be feeling lucky...punk...if you choose any one of these tried, tested, and timeless themes. Party on groovers!
50's Rock 'N Roll Party Theme
There was a whole lot of shakin' going on as 50's feet donned their blue suede shoes, and rocked around the clock to their favourite unchained melodies. The first, and probably most innocent of the rock and roll decades, fabulous 50's rock and roll is still one of the most popular party themes. It's super-easy to find great music, it's a fun and dazzling theme to decorate, and a dream to dress up for. Everyone loves to shake, rattle and (50's rock n') roll.
60's Hippie Themed Party
Channel the vibes of peace, love and tie-dyed harmony with a 60's hippie party theme. Flower power was groovy baby. Incredibly colourful people were celebrating love not war as they challenged 'the man' and the status quo. You can have a whole party centered around the famous Woodstock music festival. All you need to do is decorate and dress in a flurry of fluro, rainbow colours and peace signs for a truly psychedelic 60's atmosphere. It's safe to say 60's hippie parties are still, and probably always will be one of the most popular party themes. Can you dig it?
70's Disco Party Theme
70's disco is one of the most iconic eras. As a hugely popular party theme, we still play that funky music for a non stop disco inferno that is 'stayin alive today. It was stylish, it was glitzy, it infiltrated dance floors, roller rinks and the silver screen. It was mirror balls, sequins, flares and afro's. What's not to love? Of course we're excited to recreate the disco scene at our parties today - with all the exuberance, excess, and enthusiasm of 70's.
80's Retro Party Theme
The 80's meant so many different things to so many different people. It was a game-changing decade. Many say, the golden decade. One thing everyone can agree on though, is that it was BIG. Big hair, big makeup, big shoulder pads, BIG music and BIG personalities. 80's retro party themes are still one the BIGGEST for those who want to cut footloose and grease those dancing shoes for a colourful, 80's retro extravaganza.
Casino Themed Parties
Is there anything more shiny than the glitz and glamour of a sparkling casino party? Still one of the world's favourite themes, casino parties can be centered around vegas, gangsters and flappers, high rollers, or all of the above. Guests can roll the dice at a little blackjack or roulette, sip cocktails stylishly as they mingle, or hit the jackpot on the dance floor. Casino themed parties are always fun, forever interactive, and bound to be a hit.
Hawaiian Party Theme
"No, I don't want to escape to a tropical oasis." said no-one ever! Hawaiian party themes are extremely popular, and we can see why. Great music, colourful decorations, easy dress ups, tasty tropical-inspired food and drinks...It's fun for the whole family. One of the most loved cultures of the world, Hawaii is bright, relaxed and beautiful, every day is a beach party. The awesome thing is, it's relatively easy to recreate the Hawaiii scene in a party setting, and enjoy a fabulous Luau with great friends and family.
Hollywood Party Theme
Hollywood Party themes must be in the top five of popularity. Everyone's a star as they strut their stuff on the red carpet. You could theme your party around the gangster and flapper era, or ask guests to come dressed as their favourite movie star from any era. People love getting in character and putting on a performance. Make sure there's plenty of lights/camera/action and your Hollywood party is bound to be a winner.
Mexican Fiesta Themed Party
The success of a themed party relies upon the atmosphere, decorations, costumes and the food. We believe this is why Mexican fiesta themed parties are so popular. The food is easy and delicious whether a sit-down dinner, or a cocktail style party. Think nachos, tacos and pulled pork fajitas. Yum. Decorating is bright, fun and relatively simple. Upbeat Spanish music is widely enjoyed, and costumes are easy, cheerful and inexpensive. Win, win, win, winning.
Western Cowboy Party Theme
The success of a themed party relies upon the atmosphere, decorations, costumes and the food. We believe this is why Mexican fiesta themed parties are so popular. The food is easy and delicious whether a sit-down dinner, or a cocktail style party. Think nachos, tacos and pulled pork fajitas. Yum. Decorating is bright, fun and relatively simple.

This article focuses on assessment actions in floristry education, addressing how interaction with flowers influences and mediates vocational knowing. Using video recordings from floristry education for adults, the article explores the interaction between teacher and student when assessing on-going work and performance as a way to frame the teacher's seeing in situ. Influenced by conversation analysis and moment-by-moment methods ─ including talk, gestures, and flowers as resources ─ the findings contribute to a holistic perspective on vocational floristry knowing. Different features of vocational floristry knowing are detected as part of the content in assessment actions: (i) aesthetic standards reflected in suggestions made by the teacher and student, (ii) financial awareness as a way of seeing flowers, and (iii) the use of context and change of perspective to take the customer into account. The findings demonstrate situated floristry knowing in action, which is displayed when the teacher enables the student to visualise and understand professional vision of flowers, traditions, and standards.
This article-based thesis focuses on the formation of vocational knowing within adult and upper secondary floristry education in Sweden. Three articles explore classroom interaction and assessment actions; a fourth considers changes in vocational subject matter during the period 1990–2015. While the first three articles draw on empirical data in the form of video and audio recordings in combination with participant observation, the fourth is based primarily on material-based interview data. All four articles share a sociocultural perspective on educational practice (Wertsch, 1998; Säljö, 2011, 2013) and a relational view of knowing (e.g., Carlgren, 2015; Molander, 1996), in combination with the use of conversation analysis (Goodwin & Heritage, 1990; Sahlström & Melander, 2010) as a tool to illuminate the formation of vocational knowing. The interaction between teacher, student, and floral arrangement is foregrounded to facilitate analysis of the formation of vocational knowing. The results contribute to our understanding of the schooling of the gaze (Goodwin, 1994; Grasseni, 2009, 2011) as appropriated by participants in the interaction. Floristry vocational knowing is shown to evolve in the temporal dimension, encompassing (a) financial and aesthetic values, (b) verbal and non–verbal communication, (c) botanical material and tools, and (d) making. The respective roles and interrelations of these four components of vocational knowing in floristry are discussed. The contribution of the thesis is twofold. First, these articles contribute to the understanding of vocational education through close appraisal of the formation of vocational knowing. Second, in exploring the previously under-researched field of Swedish floristry vocational education, the thesis bridges a gap in existing knowledge of the evolution of Swedish vocational education. As floristry education is little researched internationally, the thesis also contributes to the wider body of international research.
At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 3: Submitted. Paper 4: Submitted.

Firestorm Blazes His Way Into Injustice 2's Roster
Flame on!
Another fighter has joined the roster of Netherrealm's superhero fighting game Injustice 2. And this one will certainly make you want to stop, drop, and roll, because that character is Firestorm. The fire based character made up of two people–this time around it's Jefferson Jackson and Martin Stein, as the character currently is portrayed on the CW's Legends of Tomorrow show–was revealed to the roster via UpUpDownDown, who got to visit Netherrealm's offices and got some play time with the character.
Given his name, you pretty much know what moves Firestorm will have in Injustice 2. He's a far range character that shoots fast fireballs that become a beam if you hold down the fire button. His Character Power will grant him blue flames and set fools ablaze with a more calming color. His Super move will take enemies to a dimension where he dispenses some very fiery pain, and his victory pose is pretty dang hot. (Okay, we're done with all of the hot puns.)
Injustice 2 comes to the PS4 and Xbox One with Firestorm, Swamp Thing, and a bunch of other heroes on May 16.

In this week's Parsha we are told again about many of the miracles that HaShem did for Klal Yisroel in the desert. Aside from the major miracles, the Manna, the well, and the Clouds of Glory; there were others. As the Pasuk says : Your clothes did not get ruined from upon you, and your feet did not blister. Rashi explains that the miracle of the clothes was similar to the way a snail grows, whose shell grows along with him. What was special about these 'minor' miracles that we received them?
Rashi tells us that there were two parts to the miracle of the clothes. First, the Clouds of Glory would polish the clothes that they did not need to be cleaned. Secondly, they wore the same clothes throughout the entire time, as the clothes grew with them. What is special about these two aspects of the miracle of the clothes and where do we see them in the Pasuk?
The Maharal in the Gur Aryeh explains . Since the Pasuk does not just say, "Your clothes did not get ruined", but added the word "on you"; that shows that the clothes always stayed on them. In order for that to happen, two things needed to take place. Firstly, that the clothes were cleaned while still upon them. Secondly, that even as they grew they did not need to change their clothes. But the Maharal is still bothered by the comparison to the snail, what is added by that.
A snail has its shell with itself from the beginning of its creation. But if these were the clothes the Jews were wearing as they left Egypt, then they were just random clothes. Was there something special about these clothes from the beginning? The Maharal brings a Midrash that says that these were special clothes that the angels gave to Klal Yisroel at Har Sinai when they accepted the Torah . Therefore they were from the beginning a miraculous clothing that was a special gift . But that raises a whole different group of questions.
At Har Sinai the Jews received a number of gifts. In the Pasuk it says that they each received two crowns, and here we learn that they got special clothing. What was different between these gifts, that when they sinned, the crowns were removed, but the clothing remained? Also, the crowns they removed after the sin of the Eigel . The things discussed here in Eikav, remained with them as they traveled through the desert. I would assume that they lost the clothes from Matan Torah when they entered Eretz Yisroel. But since it is a gift from Matan Torah, and the sin of the Eigel does not affect it, then why did it ever disappear? Also, why should those born after Matan Torah get this gift?
There is a Gemarra that the Klei Yakar brings in the context of this Pasuk . The Gemarra is discussing Sheidim (for want of a better word – demons) and what they do in the world. "Those clothes of the Talmidei Chachamim which are ruined are from the rubbing of the Sheidim against them. The knees of the Talmidei Chachamim which stumble are from the Sheidim." Explains the Klei Yakar, that this is parallel to the Pasuk here. The clothing and the legs of the Talmidei Chachamim are affected, but in the desert they were not, but even kept in perfect condition. What is the connection?
To understand this we need to clarify at least minimally what Sheidim are. They are not demons as we are prone to picture them in our mind. They are an incomplete being created as the first Shabbos began, and therefore created after the sin of Adam . So they are incomplete and represent all the forces in the world that desire to remain incomplete in the spiritual sense. Any way that they can diminish Ruchniyus in the world is their Tafkid.
The fact that the Sheidim rub against and ruin the clothes of the Talmidei Chachamim, is because this is one of the focal points of the battle between the Yetzer HaTov and the Yetzter HaRa. Even though we usually are taught that Adam HaRishon was unclothed as the Pasuk says in its Pshat understanding ; there is a type of clothing that Adam did wear. As Chazal teach us, Adam wore a shirt of light , rather than a shirt of leather. I think we can understand this that before the sin the clothing illuminated and enhanced the person. After the sin, there is shame and clothing is to cover what is incorrect and prone to falling. That is why part of the battle between Yakov and Eisav is about the clothing of Adam. The snake took the illuminated clothes of Adam. They end up by Eisav, and Yakov gets them back and once again they shine .
The clothing of a Talmid Chacham is a continuation of the original clothing of Adam, received through Yakov when he wore Eisav's clothes to get the Brachos. Just as the Nachash and Eisav desire to take that clothing of Adam and make it theirs, so too every Talmid Chochcom is attacked in the same way, and the forces of the Nachash- the Sheidim, desire to ruin his clothing.
When Klal Yisroel gets the Torah, the Pasuk says , "I said you are as Elokim and the sons of the angels." Meaning that they returned to the level of Adam before the sin. Therefore their clothes that they received then from the angels were like the original clothes of Adam. That is what is learnt by the Midrash from the Pasuk in Yechezkel about the clothes. If you look at the Perek in Yechezkel, it is about the events from when HaShem decides to take us out of Egypt as unclothed with no Mitzvot, till we get the Torah and receive royal clothes. The Perek then continues how we take the tremendous gifts that HaShem gave us and misuse them to serve even Avoda Zara. So the clothes that we are referring here in the Pasuk that remained with them from Matan Torah, are part of the attainments of getting the Torah.
It would seem that even though the sin of the Eigel caused a tremendous fall, similar to what happened to Adam after his sin, the clothes remained. In one source it says that within the Clouds of Glory there were no Sheidim. Therefore the clothes were unaffected. Since we learn in the Gemarra and in many other sources about the "clothes of the Talmid Chacham" so all the Jewish people were on that level in the desert, and they all had the clothes of Matan Torah. The special miracle that they remained clean were a subsidiary of the general miracle of the clouds. This even fits since the clouds were in the merit of Aharon HaKohen, and he also receives the special clothes of the Kohanim.
The idea that the clothes grew with them is that even those clothes which we received at Matan Torah from angels, there is a place for our growth. We still need to expand and reach higher levels even more than that which is given to us by angels. We are those who walk where angels are stationary.
It also seems that when we enter Eretz Yisroel, there is a whole different approach, and therefore those clothes are lost, and we then strive to grow on our own, without the help of the angels.
Parshas Eikev – Always New Clothes
In this week's Parsha we are told again about many of the miracles that HaShem did for Klal Yisroel in the desert. Aside from the major miracles, the Manna, the well, and the Clouds of Glory; there were others. As the Pasuk says : Your clothes did not get ruined from upon you, and your feet did not blister. Rashi explains that the miracle of the clothes was similar to the way a snail grows, whose shell grows along with him. What was special about these 'minor' miracles that we received them?

|The Robinson Library >> Musics >> Biography: Musicians
|"Buck" Clayton
trumpet player who led one of the first jazz bands to play in the Orient
Wilbur Dorsey Clayton was born into a musical family in Parsons, Kansas, on November 12, 1911. His father, a minister, taught him the basics of music. Learning the trumpet as a teenager, he performed with the church band, which featured his mother on organ. He heard his first jazz music when the George E. Lee Band played in Parsons. After high school, Clayton went to California, where he began his professional career.
In Los Angeles, Clayton joined Charlie Echols' band, playing taxi dances and ballrooms. Clayton and other band members later joined forces with Broadway producer Earl Dancer to work in movies. When Dancer disappeared with the payroll, Clayton took over leadership of the band; he was all of 23 years old.
Clayton took the band to Shanghai, China, where it performed at the Canidrome Ballroom. One of the first jazz bands to play in the Orient, Clayton's band attracted Madame Chiang Kai-shek and other celebrities. The Clayton Band spent two years at the Canidrome, with a short stint in Japan thrown in. A free-for-all fight during one of the band's concerts cost it the job at the Canidrome, and Clayton brought the band back to the United States.
Returning to Los Angeles, Clayton and his band played several seasons at Sebastian's Cotton Club and Club Araby. In the summer of 1936, he left for New York to join Willie Bryant's band at the original Cotton Club. On his way east, however, he stopped off in Kansas City and joined Count Basie's band at the Reno Club, replacing Lips Page as star soloist. Clayton's solo excellence, arrangements and compositions helped Count Basie's band achieve national fame. Clayton remained with Count Basie until he was drafted in 1943.
After his discharge in 1946, Clayton joined Norman Granz's newly formed Jazz at the Philharmonic. Returning to New York in 1947 and 1948, he played the Savoy Ballroom with Jimmy Rushing's band. During the 1950's and 1960's, he toured Europe with his own group and freelanced with a host of other notable band leaders including Joe Bushkin, Jimmy Rushing, and Frank Sinatra. He also recorded as a sideman and a leader, including a series of jam sessions for the Columbia label.
In 1969, Clayton discovered he had some lip problems and was forced to cut back on his playing. By the late 1970's, however, the problem had become so serious that he began focusing more on directing, composing and arranging, while teaching at Hunter College in New York City.
In 1987, Clayton formed a big band to perform his compositions, and continued creating music for and leading his "Swinging Dream Band" until his death, on December 11, 1991.
