Cash transfers in The Gambia
12 Nov 2012
Concern Universal is distributing cash transfers to 20,000 Gambians affected by the Sahel crisis.
Concern Universal is delivering a pilot initiative with the World Food Programme to give Gambians affected by drought in the Sahel cash instead of emergency food aid. It's the first time the World Food Programme is carrying out 'cash transfers', which put money in the local economy and allows people to make their own choices about the food they want.
Thousands of Gambians are suffering food shortages due to poor harvests last year, which has caused a prolonged hungry season. Concern Universal, with support from the World Food Programme and local partners WASDA and NACCUG, are distributing 283 Dalasi (£6 or $9 US) per person per month to 20,000 people in the Upper River Region.
Georgie Kane of Concern Universal The Gambia said, "This type of support puts money in the local economy and allows people to make their own choices on the food they want - a kind of mini economic stimulus for the targeted districts."
The World Food Programme wrote, "Although this [region] was programmed for a food distribution the potential for using other delivery tools is a consideration in all WFP operations. Social transfers specifically Cash and Voucher is becoming the preferred option where the right circumstances prevail and especially if this tool is deemed more cost efficient and effective."
Why are cash transfers sometimes better than food aid? Read our blog.

Book Description:
Without his lucky glove, Jamie doesn't believe in his ability to lead his baseball team to victory until he learns that faith in oneself is the most important equipment for any game. Jamie has lovingly oiled his glove all winter and, as the season approaches, he - and his glove - are in top form. When he carelessly loses his glove, he also loses faith in himself and it shows in his playing. After an unsuccessful search for the glove and a stern reprimand from his father, a borrowed glove is found for the season's opening game. Disappointed in his performance with the borrowed glove, Jamie seeks help at a local sporting goods shop, finding it in the generosity of the store's owner, a former minor league player. The old-timer uses the history of the baseball glove and a few fielding tips (like practice) to demonstrate that no tool-not even a lucky glove-is a substitute for confidence and determination.

I was at the ProLiteracy conference in Alexandria, Virginia last November standing at the Reading Horizons booth when a woman approached me and asked, "What does E-S-O-L stand for?" (She was referring to the "ESOL" acronym that was on the booth display.) "Oh!" I said. "It stands for 'English for Speakers of Other Languages'." She nodded and said, "OK. I've been wondering for awhile what that stood for. Thanks."
She is not in the English language teaching profession, but I realize that even those of us who are within the profession may not be clear on the difference between the acronyms that have surfaced to describe our jobs. When I first heard about the profession of teaching English to speakers of other languages, I heard it referred to as "ESL." Since that time (which was about 13 years ago), other acronyms have been brought to my consciousness (e.g., EFL, ESOL, and ELL) that are essentially getting at the same thing, but they're used with the intention of providing more distinction between the different learning environments.
So, what is the difference between ESL, EFL, ESOL, and ELL? This is what I've learned from my experience.
"ESL" (English as a Second Language) is learning English in a country where English is dominantly spoken, or where English is the official language. For example, students from non-native English-speaking countries who come to the
U.S. and for an extended period of time learn English as a second language. They acquire English as a means to communicate in the dominant language spoken in the community where they reside. For example, I taught ESL to adults at the Canada Cubberly Community Center through Palo Alto Unified School District in . It was a heterogeneous classroom with students from all over the world who had moved to California . They were participating in free English classes so they could communicate. I had a husband and wife from California China, he formerly a professor and she a doctor in China, who had relocated to where they were living with their daughter and her American husband and helping to care for their granddaughter. I had two students from the Palo Alto Ukraine whose husbands were recruited to work for a local company. I had a couple young high school graduates, one from U.S. and another from France, who were applying to American universities and trying to polish their English skills. These are examples of students who were learning English as a second language (ESL). Japan
Contrast that with when I went to
Taiwan to teach English to children in Feng Yuan and . These students were learning English as a foreign language (EFL). English is not the primary or dominant language spoken in Houli, Taiwan , so English is considered a "foreign" language rather than a second language. "EFL" (English as a Foreign Language), then, is learning English in a non-English-speaking country. I also taught legal English to Chinese prosecutors and judges in mainland Taiwan . These students were also learning English as a foreign language because these students were learning English in China where English is not the official language. If they had been in the China learning English, however, it would have been considered English as a second language. Get it? U.S.
A more generic term has surfaced, however, as an attempt to generalize the ESL/EFL distinction: English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). This applies to both ESL and EFL contexts. Another reason why this term was created is because some individuals argue that when students are learning English in a native English-speaking country (ESL), these students are not necessarily learning a second language. It could, in fact, be a student's third or even fourth language. English as a second language, then, is limiting and not fully comprehensive in its description. English to Speakers of Other Languages, "ESOL," is a more accurate description. This was true of my Ukranian students in
who spoke both Ukranian and Russian fluently prior to learning English. English was actually their third language. In this case, ESOL is a more fit description than English as a second language. Palo Alto
A final acronym that is used often is English Language Learners (ELL's). This is commonly used in K-12 environments. It has been brought to my attention, however, that some school districts prefer to use the term ESOL (English Speakers of Other Languages) to describe their student population. For example, when I was observing a phonics training in the
Dade County school district in , they use the term ESOL in their district rather than ELL. This could simply be a preference issue. Miami, Florida
I also wanted to touch on one more acronym that is often used in the field. "ESP" stands for English for Special Purposes. Students who learn English for Special Purposes are learning English in context of a certain field, profession, or topic. For example, when I was teaching legal English in
, I was teaching English in context of law. These students were learning English in preparation for studying law through an China where the professors were all native English speakers. These students were learning the English necessary to sustain them in their studies of law. They were learning the terms and concepts in English in preparation for their actual enrollment in the law school program. This is an example of English for Special Purposes (ESP). American University
Hopefully this provided some clarification on the different terms used in the English language teaching profession. I should mention that these views are based on my experience and informal research on the topic, and they are certainly not comprehensive. I'm confident there are other ideas not mentioned here that shed even greater light on the topic. But at least here are a few.
For me, the difference between the terms used is not as important as the difference that teachers make in the classroom, regardless of whether they're teaching ESL, EFL, ESOL, ELL's, or ESP. What's the difference? It's the teachers' vision and dedication. In my opinion, that's the real difference.
Take my poll to share the abbreviation/s you use most often when referring to your non-native English speaking students.

As reported by Amanda Milkovits in July 13, 2010 edition of the Providence Journal, a Massachusetts man was in an unusual car accident. The man went the wrong way on a one way street and then ignoring signs, went through a construction zone and off a bridge "that wasn't there." The man's car went off the ramp that used to allow access to Route 195. A construction crew had been dismantling the old bridge and it no longer existed. The car fell more than 10 feet onto another construction site and was badly damaged. At the scene of the accident, the driver failed a field sobriety test and refused a chemical breathalyzer test. He was charged with Refusal and traffic violations, including driving the wrong way.

Kris Humphries better apologize to his former girlfriend stat, or he's getting sued ... TMZ has learned.
Joe Tacopina, Myla Sinanaj's attorney, tells TMZ ... Kris has gone on a campaign of destruction against her to save his own ass in his divorce from Kim Kardashian. TMZ broke the story, Kris' lawyers contacted the FBI, claiming Myla tried to extort him by demanding a huge sum of money or else she'd spill secrets about their relationship to the media.
Tacopina tells us, "I defy them to show that she has asked for one red cent," adding, "I challenge them to submit Kris Humphries to a polygraph and if he does I will have my client do the same. She never asked him for a penny."
But there's more ... Tacopina says Kris is a boldfaced liar by claiming Myla was a booty call. Tacopina says, "I have hundreds of text messages and phone records which show he constantly contacted her on a steady basis. He'd call her 50 times in a day."
Tacopina says Kris told Myla when pictures of them first surfaced that they had to hide the fact that they were in a relationship. Tacopina says Kris didn't want to screw up his legal war with Kim Kardashian, adding, "It's hard to argue you're heartbroken when you had a steady girlfriend since January."
Tacopina says Humphries' lawyers not only trashed Myla in the media but tried getting her fired from her hotel job. Tacopina says his client has been slandered and, "There will be a retraction and an apology by Humphries and his lawyer, or else."
Who calls anyone 50 times a day?
Lurch, the big dumb liar is now officially dead meat. Tacopina does not screw around. He is going to school this lunkhead bigtime. Why are people down on Myla? He's been flying her and her family to his games, down to Miami since January. She never spoke to the media. It wasn't until the media saw her with him one too many times that questions arose. The Hump immediately threw her under the bus, calling her "just a booty call...a liar...an extortionist, etc. The reason: St. Chris, the martyr, has been dragging out his divorce for no other reason (no fault divorce in CA, a tight pre-nup and he doesn't have a hope in hell of proving fraud to get an annulment) than he wants to extort money from Kim and wants to extend his 15 minutes. After this divorce is finalized, we'll never see him again. The problem is he was saying he was chaste after the separation and KK was sleeping around with Kanye, etc. He's over. This woman has a good job at the Gaanesvort which requires a high degree of discretion as she deals with celebs. He has slandered her all over the media just to get what he wants. And for the idiots who think Kris Jenner is engineering this...you are insane. He is stupid enough to screw himself. He doesn't need assistance.
Karma Kris! I knew that Neanderthal was lying,.
no one is calling anyone 50 times a day. wtf are they talking about....and let's be serious, to send hundreds of texts is nothing. we live in a text driven society and it means nothing. you thought you bagged an NBA player and now you have egg on your face. fcking =/= love
Kris has really bad luck with girls. He should just give up already
The only thing funnier that could rain down on Lurch's Neanderthal head is if the FBI comes after him for filing a false report.
Lurch is punching outta his weight class and is about to be pulverized.
Why did she try to make herself a part of the media crap anyway? It was as if she wanted to brag or something, also Kris Humphries, why Kim and why this girl? She puts Bruce Jenner's looks down, yet does not take a long hard look at her own looks, she is not all that.
Kim and her seem one in the same as far as being a nasty whiny spoiled diva like type, why not go after a nice girl.
For him to turn things over to the FBI, he had to of had something on her that proves she was extorting him, just like now she is DEMANDING publicly an apology. Demanding. Just as demanding as Kim Kardashian and just a typical smear Kris campaign like Kim did to him, now this chick is trying to do, all because of sour grapes for being dumped after she embarrassed him in the media drawing attention to herself looking so desperate to feel relevant.
Hmmmm he called her 50 times for some p***y!
Ratbag, does it make you feel good calling him names? Does that make you feel so much above him? Is that why you are stooping to such a low, name calling?
I hope that if she really wasn't trying to extort kris and he lied to the FBI he goes to jail for as long as he can. This guy is a douche no reason the kansas players said they didn't want him on the team and he's a huge dbag.
The skank probably works for Kim Trashian, it smells like a set up,.
I never really cared at all for Kris, but he has the worst luck with women of any man I've heard of. The huge-buttocks queen was his own fault, but he obviously has a type, and this last one is a hard-boiled bitch trolling for prey, And her lawyer is even worse!
After responding, I noted the run of pro-Sinanaj comments and calling Kris a Neanderthal. Sounds like the calculating female has her friends clogging the comment boards. Why would anyone be on her side?
I expect no less from Joe Tacopina. He is the male version of Gloria Allred. He LOVES the media and the attention of the "high-profile" client. He represented Joran Van Der Sloot at one point for God's sake. He was a "consultant"in the Amanda Knox case. He is a fame chasing d-bag. I remember watching an episode of Dateline about this woman who was on trial for killing her husband, cutting him up and putting his body parts in suitcases that she threw over a bridge to dispose of them. Guess what? Joe Tacopina was her lawyer. Guess what else? She is now rotting away in jail. And while I don't think Mr. Humphries is the brightest light on the Christmas tree, I still don't think he's dumb enough to get the FBI involved unless he thought he had a decent case. And even if he WAS dumb enough, I doubt his LAWYERS would allow him to bring it to the FBI if THEY didn't believe it. I'm a female and I know for a fact sometimes girls believe what they want to about a relationship, even if the guy has specifically said that he doesn't want anything serious. Just because he wants to spend time with you, just because he gets you tickets to his games, just because he flies you to Miami, doesn't mean he wants you to be his GF. I've learned the hard way, when a guy says he doesn't want to get serious HE MEANS IT. She should've spent more time listening to what he was actually saying instead of hearing what she wanted to hear.

Add to Your Personality With Beautiful Mehndi DesignFiled under: Tattoos Author: tattoo
The smell of a freshly made mehndi design is just heavenly. Made from henna, this natural mehndi paste can work wonders on your skin. It can be used to create intricate designs on your hands and feet, thereby accentuating the clarity of your skin. Besides the hands and feet, mehndi is now being used to decorate the upper arms, back and around the belly button. Originally considered to be a part of the Indian and Pakistani culture, this art form has now taken the Western countries by storm. It is considered to be a great form of tattoo design.
How to Apply Mehndi
A mehndi design is made by applying henna paste through a medium-sized plastic cone. You can also use a paint brush or a small metal-tipped jacquard bottle. After carving out the beautiful design on the skin, the area is secured with medical tape, plastic or tissue till the henna has passed on its wonderful reddish-brown color to the skin. Securing the painted area will help to trap the body heat and increase the intensity of the henna color. The mehndi design should be kept within wraps for a long time, especially overnight. Depending on the type of henna used, the design can sometimes last a few months before being erased completely.
Learning the Basics
Henna is procured from a tree with the botanical name of Lawsonia inermis. The leaves of this tree undergo a drying process to yield the beautiful henna color. Although, you have to collect these leaves when they are still green, you must make sure that they are completely dried before being pounded into a fine powder. This powder is again kneaded to make the famous henna paste. Then it should be left overnight covered for best effects. Lest it flow away while being used to make the mehndi design, the paste should be made just of the right consistency.
How to Get the Maximum Color
In order to make the mehndi design look the best reddish brown color, you should leave it on the skin for a maximum amount of time. The minute the henna starts drying, it start flaking. But to prevent this and help it stay on longer, you can apply a solution of lemon with sugar. This will not only prevent flaking and falling off but also deepen the color. You must remember never to use water to remove or moisten the henna. After the henna has deepened considerably, it is time to take it off. You can scrape it off with a butter knife. If you want, you can wash yourself after that. The henna will change its hue from a brilliant orange to a fantastic deep reddish brown color.
A Date With the Celebrities
Mehndi design has found great popularity after style icons like Demi Moore, Mira Sorvino and Erykah Badu got themselves painted with henna. Fashion conscious people are trying to experiment with henna and innovatively create new designs and colors. But nothing can beat the old world charm of henna. It surely makes a person look her best in the latest designs in mehndi.

I Was Dumped by My BFF on Facebook
... And I was completely baffled.
Jennifer Ginsberg: When my long-lost buddy sent me a Facebook friend request nearly a year ago, I was ecstatic. Claire and I were inseparable all throughout high school. We finished each other's sentences and shared not only our clothes and makeup, but our darkest secrets and fantasies as well.
Then, in the middle of our senior year, she got a boyfriend and I was quickly fazed out. I was hurt that she could so easily turn her back on our friendship for some dude (who turned out to be a complete a**hole -- of course!) after all we had been through. What I learned is that there are some girls who cannot maintain relationships with their friends once they have a guy in their life. Claire was one of those girls.
Nearly two decades passed, and I always wondered about Claire. But when we both left for college, we had nothing more than each others' home phone numbers, for these were the days before cell phones and Twitter and all the other technological mediums that provide us with the illusion of friendship and connection, but only leave us more isolated than ever and incapable of making a genuine human connection. But, I digress ... back to Claire -- and her ubiquitous Facebook friend request:
"Hi Jennifer, Sorry for stalking you ... if you would rather not respond, I completely understand. But I would love to get back in contact with you. I've always thought of you as one of the few true friends I've had in life, and that is such a rare thing. If you'd be interested in getting back in touch, please respond. Love, Claire"
I was elated. We began sending each other long e-mails about our lives and journeys over the past 20 years. We even explored the issues that led to us drifting apart. Claire wrote:
"I have Googled you more times than I can count over the years. I didn't contact you in those early years because I was so ashamed of what a poor friend I was to you toward the end of high school when I hooked up with Joe and was incapable of having any other relationships. Thank God we're finding each other now instead of when we're 80! Now you're stuck with me for good!"
Within a week, Claire sent me an e-mail asking if she could come visit me for a few days. I invited her to stay in my home, and planned the whole weekend out for us.
We had an awesome time. She met my husband and children, I took her to my favorite restaurants, and we spent hours talking, and even sat on my sofa late at night and continued our gab-fest over a bowl of chocolate chips -- just like old times! We were thrilled that after all these years, we still had nearly identical tastes and beliefs -- from politics to social issues to music.
We made a commitment to stay connected via Facebook, to talk on the phone at least once a week, and make the effort to visit each other every few months. I felt like I had my best friend back.
I knew Claire had a demanding career and she and her husband were avid travelers, so when her e-mails dwindled, I thought nothing of it. But a couple of weeks ago, I realized that I had not heard from Claire in over a month, so I decided to check out her profile and see what was up. She was no longer on Facebook! I assumed she must have deleted her account. On a whim, I clicked on one of our mutual friends and looked at her list of friends. Lo and behold, there was Claire, on her list.
Was it possible that Claire had deleted me as her friend on Facebook? And if so, why in God's name would she do such a nasty and reprehensible thing?
I immediately sent her a new friend request, and left her a voicemail, as well as a personal e-mail. I racked my brain and tried to think of something I could have possibly done to warrant such an immature act of technological vengeance, but I drew a blank.
I waited all day and heard nothing from her. And I admit it -- I began to obsess. I e-mailed one of our mutual friends on the site:
"Hey Joy, have you heard from Claire lately? For some reason, I can't access her profile."
Joy immediately responded:
"Yeah -- she is still on. She got back from Tibet a few weeks ago -- she has some great pictures posted!"
I felt dread wash over me. Claire was still on Facebook, and for some reason had deliberately deleted me from her list of friends. That night, I checked my pending friend request to Claire and it had been ... DENIED! Worse yet, she had blocked me from her account. The message rang loud and clear: "I hate you -- get the f*** out of my life -- never contact me again!"
This couldn't be happening to me.
In our generation, deleting a friend from Facebook is the ultimate act of "f*** you." Facebook has become synonymous with popularity, friendship, and connection. People feel great pride over the quality and quantity of their "Friends List" on the social networking site. When someone is unceremoniously deleted from one of these lists, they often feel intense rejection and angst. Teenagers have been known to commit suicide over this.
But for God's sake, I am not in junior high school, I am a 35-year-old woman and I have worked way too hard in my life to get dissed by one of my best friends on Facebook -- some lame-ass site that I never wanted to join in the first place because of the ridiculous stories of public betrayal and rejection that I had heard. Stories like mine.
Right then and there, I decided that I was not going to go down in a sea of shame on Facebook without one hell of a fight!
I don't easily open up to people and let myself get vulnerable, as I had done with Claire. I was flabbergasted -- after all, she was the one who had pursued me and invited herself to my home. She even made grand apologies for the past and promises of renewed friendship for the future. And now she was freezing me out on Facebook? My despair turned to anger. This is bullsh*t -- if I had done something to upset her, the very least I deserved was an explanation.
A few more days and sleepless nights passed and still no word from Claire. On a whim, I risked being classified as a "Facebook Stalker" and messaged her husband:
"Todd -- this is Jennifer, Claire's friend. I have been trying to contact her for the past few days online and on the phone. For some reason she has not responded. I am totally confused. Please, at the very least, let me know that she is OK. Thanks."
Within an hour, Claire responded. Finally!
"First of all, we just returned from Tibet, which is why I have not responded to you -- [Really? According to our mutual friends, she had been back for weeks] I can't believe you would think I would delete you -- I would never do that! I have been trying to delete my account from Facebook -- since I am no longer getting anything out of being there, except wasted time. I think some of my friends got blocked in the process. [Then why was she on all of our mutual friends' lists except mine?] Now for the good news ... Todd and I are moving to Tibet in two weeks! It has always been our dream to live there, and we were offered a job to manage a luxury monastery for two years! I am so excited! I am going to be very busy for the next few weeks preparing for this move, and once we get there I don't think we will have Internet. But I am so happy we reconnected and I wish you all the best!"
For some reason, her response left me feeling more sad, confused, and rejected than when I thought she had simply deleted me off of Facebook. I never wanted to relive the emotionally enmeshed connection we had in high school -- clearly that wasn't healthy and wouldn't have worked in either of our busy and full adult lives.
But I expected her to treat me with compassion and dignity and be responsive when I attempted to contact her. Instead, she left me in a holding pattern for days and couldn't bother to respond to my multiple messages and voicemails, despite the fact that I was clearly upset and anxious. It felt very cruel. I believe she only replied to me because she felt backed into a corner.
Now, I wasn't being dumped for some dumb-sh*t dude, rather I was being tossed aside for a new opportunity. I was being told, "Don't bother contacting me for the next few years because I am going to be unreachable," with no mention of our commitment to stay connected to one another. By the way, I am hard pressed to believe that there is no Internet in Tibet!
Our reunion was a complete waste of time and emotional energy, and it has left me questioning our entire relationship. I also feel totally used -- like a baby blankey or some other transitional object that was snuggled up to and sucked on until something better came along.
So, I responded to her in the only way I could:
"Sounds like an exciting opportunity. I wish you and Todd all the best. Take care."
In retrospect, I wonder ... was I actually deleted as her friend on Facebook? Maybe. Was I given the ultimate kiss-off and essentially told "I'm just not that into you anymore"? Absolutely. Am I surprised? Not really. Am I hurt and angry? Unquestionably.
And if, upon her return from Tibet, she comes knocking, texting, Tweeting, or Facebooking, my heart will be closed. No matter how seductive the illusion of her friendship appears to be.

Hi, Skilful mail, hold responsible you, i like your concept also!
Advantageously, the send is in reality the sweetest on this laudable topic.
I contacted a former co worker that I thought was a friend. I sent her a message via facebook and never got a response. It hurt me a great deal because I thought we were friends, and I know she is a friendly person.

Hi all,
I'm looking to produce a case study for the governors into the use of tablets in school and was wondering if there are any primary schools in Cornwall using either iPads or tablets that I could contact? Ideally I'm looking for schools that are using them throughout the school and my main focus is on pupil use. Our head is quite keen on iPads but I'd like to look at alternatives as well.
Thanks in advance!

Retirement is what the doctor ordered
Last updated at 20:27, Thursday, 05 April 2012
A Cockermouth GP has hung up his stethoscope after 30 years as a doctor in West Cumbria.
Dr David Clarkson, 57, of Eaglesfield, has spent the last 16 years at Derwent House Surgery on Wakefield Road.
He took early retirement last Friday to allow him to pursue two of his great passions in life – cycling and fell walking – and visit his sons Richard, 30, and Paul, 28, who live in Sheffield.
He will still take on some part-time work as a locum and carry out GP appraisals.
He said: "I love the outdoors and the mountains, which have kept me here.
"I also have great colleagues and a great team of GPs here.
"We managed to come through the 2009 floods as a team which was a challenge.
"I am going to miss my colleagues and patients, because they have become friends.
"It has been a privilege looking after my patients and I have been inundated with cards and good wishes and I want to thank everybody for their kind words.
"It has been an enjoyable and fulfilling experience looking after people, which is why I chose to be a GP, but I just felt it was the right time to move on."
Dr Clarkson, who is married to Ursula and also has a daughter Louise, 24, who works at the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven, trained at Leeds Medical School before becoming a GP in Scarborough.
He then moved to the Lowther Street practice in Whitehaven for 14 years before moving to Derwent House Surgery 16 years ago.
He said that one of the highlights of his time at Derwent House was helping to save its in-house dispensary after it was threatened with closure in 2008.
The surgery is now due to move into the new Cockermouth Hospital on Isel Road when it is built.
Dr Vijay Kopparthi will join the practice next month as Dr Clarkson's replacement.

Broadway Extravaganza "Motown the Musical" Brings Legends to the Bay Area Story and Photos by Shelah MoodyPublished on Saturday, 30 August 2014 20:18
Motown founder Berry Gordy addresses the crowd at Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland, CA
Since it's opening on August 15, there has been quite a buzz about the Broadway hit "Motown the Musical" and its run through Sept. 28 at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco. The extravaganza has generated much excitement and curiosity and attracted a number of music industry legends to the Bay Area, including Motown founder Berry Gordy, Jr., Motown's former creative assistant and producer Suzanne de Passe and former Motown recording and visual artist Chris Clark.
Shelah Moody with former Motown Creative Director Suzanne De Passe
In conjunction with welcoming "Motown the Musical" to the Bay Area, the glitterati also celebrated the life of icon Michael Jackson, who would have turned 56 on Aug. 29.
"Motown the Musical" revolves around the life of Gordy, the music mogul who launched the careers of Marvin Gaye, the Jackson 5, and Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, the Temptations, Stevie Wonder and more. "Motown the Musical" follows Gordy's life and career from a featherweight boxer to one of the most influential men in the music industry. Gordy is noted for making soul music appealing to mainstream audiences and branding what came to be known as the Motown sound, out of Detroit, MI.
On Aug. 18, Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson presented the 84-year-old visionary with a county proclamation declaring "Berry Gordy Day in the East Bay" at Frank Ogawa Plaza. Gordy was also presented the key to the city of Oakland, with Mayor Jean Quan present.
Gordy cited Sly Stone, the Pointer Sisters and En Vogue as some of the great artists who have come out of Oakland.
"Motown is weaved into the life of Oaktown," said Gordy. "Oaktown has always been a part of the Motown family. Indeed, my dear friend, (former Black Panther) Elaine Brown was also a great artist who recorded for Motown's Black Forum label."
"I started out as a songwriter, but as a songwriter, I had to create dreams that people didn't believe were possible," said Gordy. "All people have feelings, so why wouldn't my music be with black people, white people, Chinese and Australians? I think that here in Oakland, there's always been a push for that understanding—of one race. The people of Oakland have always been fighting for equality. Everybody who believes in themselves inspires me, because the magic is inside of us. We have to recognize it and be confident and not let other people tell us that we are bad and that we don't know what we're doing."
After the ceremony, the Joyce Gordon Gallery in downtown Oakland (www.joycegordongallery.com) hosted a media preview and reception for the exhibit: "Motown Legends: Artwork by Chris Clark," attended by Suzanne de Passe, Mayor Jean Quan, Supervisor Keith Carson, Elaine Brown and Dorothy King, owner of Everett and Jones BBQ, www.eanjbbq.com, (who hosted and reception later that evening for Gordy, who I'm told, got caught up in the excitement and danced).
Clark was one of the first white singers signed to Motown records, releasing her debut "Do Right Baby, Do Right" in 1965. Clark eventually ventured into photography, videography, graphic design, screenwriting and painting, documenting the great moments in Motown history. Clark worked for Motown for 18 years.

"Chris Clark was always somebody who was different in her thoughts, and they were always above everyone else's," said Gordy. "She lived with the artists and she knew their wishes, their feelings, their arguments and mostly, their dreams and where they wanted to go. I tell a lot of people: be careful what you wish for because you might get it.
"Chris' work is so deep; it's hard for people to understand," said Gordy. "Take an artist like Michael Jackson. Chris captured him in the car dreaming about what he wanted to be. Michael wanted to be what he became—the greatest artist in the world, and Chris saw that before anyone else. 'Michael Jackson' is a magnificent piece because it tells a story. All of her pieces tell a story."
Clark was especially fond of one of Motown's founding artists, Marvin Gaye, who inspired several of her paintings.

"Marvin Gaye wanted to do a protest album, because his brother was in Vietnam," said Gordy. "All of this is in the play. He didn't want to be a pop star anymore; he wanted to be an activist. I wanted him to be a singer of love songs because he was our top. 'What's Going On' turned out to be Motown's biggest selling album."
The soft spoken Chris Clark shared her personal memories of Michael Jackson during the week of his 56th birthday.
"You know, when he was a little kid I caught him his first snake at the beach," said Clark. "Back then, I raised big cats—cougars, lions, jaguars and a Florida panther. Michael came to my house and fell in love with exotic animals. He was amazing."
On Aug. 25, Yoshi's San Francisco hosted "San Francisco Welcomes Motown the Musical," (www.yoshis.com). featuring several members of the touring cast. San Francisco District 5 Supervisor London Breed presented the production and cast with a City proclamation in honor "Motown the Musical." The event was also a fundraiser, with proceeds going to benefit Project Level, The African American Art and Culture Complex and the San Francisco Arts Education Project.

One of the young men living Gordy's dream is Rodney Earl Jackson, Jr., who grew up in San Francisco's Fillmore district and went on to earn his degree from Carnegie Melon University. A seasoned singer and dancer, Jackson portrays Jermaine Jackson and other characters in "Motown the Musical." Jackson kicked off the entertainment at Yoshi's performing the Temptation's hit "Get Ready" with cast member Patrice Covington, who plays Martha Reeves.
"I auditioned in New York for Berry Gordy himself, and actually, after three or four auditions, I got a call from my manager telling me that they had offered me the role," said Jackson.
Jackson, who heads the Bay Area Theatre Company in San Francisco, is thrilled to be part of the touring cast of "Motown the Musical" and also thrilled to be performing for family and friends in his hometown.
Like many of his generation, the Motown Sound was a soundtrack of his life.
"My earliest memories of Motown music and its energy would have to be the record player that my mom kept in the house, with old Temptations records as well as the Supremes and Gladys Knight," said Jackson. "I haven't met any of the Jacksons, but I've met Smokey Robinson and Diana Ross. Berry Gordy was in the audience during the process, so I felt that we had an encyclopedia right there with us."
Reflecting on the legacy of Michael Jackson, Rodney Jackson, Jr. refected: "Someone asked me who I would most like to meet, alive or dead, and I said Michael Jackson. More than a performer or an entertainer, I would have liked to have known who he was as a human being."
Leon Outlaw, Jr., 12 and Reed Lorenzo Shannon, 13,
portray young Berry Gordy, Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder in "Motown the Musical."
During the reception, the two young actors danced with the band Top Shelf as they performed a cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" and gave the audience a sample of their stellar vocal skills. Don't let their size fool you; these kids can blow the roof off of the theater! (http://youtu.be/s47BrZFKvHs).They thrilled the crowd with two of Motown's famous songs of longing and lost love, with Reed singing the Smokey Robinson-penned "Who's Loving You" a Capella and Leon singing the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" a Capella.
Both boys have a private tutor of the set of "Motown the Musical and like the young Michael Jackson, demonstrate a level of maturity and professionalism beyond their years.
Asked what he likes best about performing in "Motown the Musical," Reed said:
"The audience varies every night, from quiet and observant to loud and fun loving.
"The cast is great and the crowd encourages me," said Outlaw.
Leon and Reed also reflected on the legacy of Michael Jackson.
"I've been listening to him ever since I was really little," said Leon. "There was a Michael Jackson DVD set that I'd always play. I would dance to it all day."
Said Reed: "My parents always played Motown music and Michael Jackson has always been there. I've always been listening to his music. He was a great human being, despite what anybody says about him. He will always live through his music."
"Motown the Musical" runs through Sept. 28 at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco. For information, go to www.shnsf.com, call (888) 746-1799 or go to www.motownthemusical.com."
Up Close and Personal With D'wayne Wiggins of Tony! Toni! Tone!: By Shelah MoodyPublished on Saturday, 12 July 2014 05:45
D'wayne Wiggins and R&B super group Tony! Toni! Tone!, featuring Timothy Christian Riley and Amar Khalil (lead vocals) perform 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., July 11-12, Yoshi's San Francisco, 1330 Fillmore Street, SF, 415-655-5600. http://www.yoshis.com/sanfrancisco.
Who are the cool cats from Oakland CA, who helped develop a style of music called neo-soul? They are Tony! Toni! Tone!, who have produced hits such as "Little Walter," "Lay Your Head on My Pillow," "It Never Rains (In Southern California) "Whatever You Want," "Let's Get Down" and the wildly popular ballad "Anniversary."
Tony! Toni! Tone!, consisting of original members D'wayne Wiggins, his brother, Rafael Saadiq and their cousin, Timothy Christian Riley, released their first album, "Who?," produced by Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy, in 1988. After more than 25 years in the music industry, it still feels good, said Wiggins. .
I recently spoke with musician/entrepreneur/community activist D'wayne Wiggins, who has produced his own solo projects and other artists including Keyshia Cole and the cover band PopLyfe, featuring his sons Dylan (guitar, piano) and Jaden (bass) Wiggins and nephew, Ali Khan (DJ).
In the early 2000s, Wiggins opened the Jahva House café, where he would showcase the work of community musicians, poets and visual artists. The likes of KRS-One, E-40 and Dennis Kucinich walked through the Jahva house doors. In fact, Wiggins still markets his family blend of Jahva House coffee.
On June 2, D'wayne Wiggins hosted a record release party for British reggae star Maxi Priest, who was presented with a proclamation and a key to the City of Oakland, at Jeffrey's Inner Circle. Their Q&A session led to a beautifully improvised unplugged version of Priest's 1991 chart topper "Close to You" featuring Priest on vocals and Wiggins on acoustic guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RopvkRNSmS8
During the week of our conversation, Wiggins was enjoying the sunny weather in the Bay Area with his daughter and one-year-old grandson, Carter. This weekend, Wiggins and Tony! Toni! Tone!, take the stage for two nights at Yoshi's San Francisco.
Shelah Moody: What was it like hosting Maxi Priest listening party at Jeffrey's Inner Circle?
D'wayne Wiggins: I've got a new friend. Maxi and I had a great time. First of all, I think that the event was something very new for Oakland and it came off very organic. We spoke on the phone a week and a half before when Maxi was in London. We met on the day on the event and I told him that his song "Close to You" was dope to me because it crossed the reggae and the R&B vibe perfectly. We got into a good conversation but once I started jamming with him, I thought, oh, he's for real.
SM: Everyone loved your spontaneous, acoustic version of "Close to You."
DW: We are from two different nations, but we were speaking through music. Maxi started out the key and I just followed him on guitar. I know how the song goes and I played it the way I felt.
SM: Do you, like Maxi Priest, have a key to the City of Oakland and a proclamation?
DW: I have a key, but I haven't been able to use my key yet; I don't know what doors it opens. (laughs). I have a proclamation, and Tony! Toni! Tone!, has a proclamation. We've also got one for my family group, PopLyfe. I received my proclamation in 1999 when I did my solo album, "The Eyes Never Lie." The Bay Area has been supportive of true entertainment. I have to say that there has been a resurgence of that whole vibe. I've been lucky; I've been blessed to have been supported by five mayors of Oakland. I've been staying connected to what's going on in Oakland since the start of our group. Tony! Toni! Tone!, which was one of the founding bands of the annual Art and Soul festival in Oakland.
SM: You've produced a lot of artists out of Oakland, including Destiny's Child, Keyshia Cole and PopLyfe, featuring your sons Dylan and Jaden Wiggins. Do you consider Oakland a music mecca?
DW: I've always considered Oakland a music mecca. It goes back to me growing up and being able to experience artists like Carlos Santana playing in the parks. As a kid, I would see Larry Graham and Sly Stone and the local grocery stores. I would watch them rehearse. When I started traveling to other countries--Australia, Indonesia and Japan--I would see all of this information about Oakland. I was able to see the impact that we had outside of Oakland years ago. I kind of vowed to myself, whenever I work with artists, that the key is exposure and getting them out to speak about what it's really like to have this gift, on the guitar, on the microphone, on the piano. I stress to them the impact that they can share when they take it outside of Oakland. Every artist I've worked with—Alicia Keys, India.Arie—they've all been to my House of Music recording studio in Oakland.
SM: On the subject of Tony! Toni! Tone!, did you take a hiatus from the group to work on your solo projects like your brother, Rafael Saadiq did?
DW: I did, and my solo project came out of a bad situation. There was an incident involving me and a police officer in Oakland. I did the song "Strange Fruit," and Kedar Massenburg at Motown happened to hear the song as well as some songs that I was writing for other musicians, and he asked me to put a solo project together. The Tonys are always the foundation of whatever we do. When we do our own solo projects, like Rafael's project or whatever, it's still "Tony" blessed. Our foundation is very solid and we appreciate it. We are going on 26 years in the business. Truthfully speaking, that's half the time of the Beatles. Twenty-five years of Oakland boys staying focused--what about it!
SM: How many of your family members will be a part of the Tony! Toni! Tone!, experience at Yoshi's?
DW: It will include the originals—myself and my cousinm Timmy Christian and the band members. Our family is so broad in this industry, and we want to bring some of the people who we've had the opportunity to bring into the industry. There was a group called Kenya Groove that I produced years ago. They had a song on the "Menace II Society" soundtrack. I call that song the hit that never was, because that song is known all over the world; Master P sampled it and got off on it. I want to invite people like that to the stage. I don't know if the Art and Soul festival got its name from one of the groups that we developed. I'd like to bring some of them to the stage. There are some new people who I have been gettin' down with lately, who I might bring to the forefront. On stage, I leave it open. We are definitely going to give you the hits and we have some new followers who need to find out what the hype is about Tony! Toni! Tone!; the hype that has inspired kids to start playing guitar and piano, and developed a sound that they call neo-soul. There is a lot to say; a lot to put in those two hours or so of music that we're gonna do at Yoshi's. We are like a miniature Apollo Theater! There is a lot of music in our show, a lot of songs, a lot of history, a lot of information and a lot of fun!
SM: Will your sons Dylan and Jaden be a part of the show?
DW: I don't know if they'll be home for the summer, but if they're in town, they definitely will be smackin' the stage. That's when it gets real Wiggins right there! They are currently in Los Angeles, working with Rafael Saadiq; working with his production and doing a lot of music for television. The more recent thing they did was some of the music for the film "Black Nativity" the opening piano piece.
SM: Give us some brief background on how Tony! Toni! Tone!, formed.
DW: Tony! Toni! Tone!, formed in the living room of our house on 80th and Olive Street in Oakland. It was a family business with musical instruments around and the whole bit—pianos, drums and whatever. My mother and father were supportive of us. I'm not saying that they pushed us into the industry. My mom always supported me being in talent shows and whatever else. You know, that guitar has always been like a savior for me because it distracted me from a lot of things that were going on right there in my neighborhood. I moved from west Oakland to east Oakland. That's how it all started. Tony! Toni! Tone!, happened to be a nickname that I came up with making fun of a friend of mine. We started incorporating the name with the way we used to dress and go out to the clubs back in the day. We were playing at a friend of the family's wedding, and we really didn't have a name, because it was always me, my brother and Tim. It really wasn't a full band; it was the three of us, jamming. When someone asked, what's the name of the group, and as a joke, I'd say, Tony! Toni! Tone!, and we'd start laughing. The whole night we kept it going; and one thing led to the next and here we are.
SM: Everybody has their favorite Tony! Toni! Tone!, song. What's the one song that you can't leave the stage without playing?
DW: Well, of course, "Feels Good," you know, because it just feels good. Oh man, "Lay Your Head on My Pillow," that song reminds me of when we used to play our music and hear it coming through the speakers; when we would play the Isley Brothers. Being in the industry for 25 years, we're celebrating our anniversary, so we've gotta do "Anniversary." We have some new music that we feel really good about because it has a lot of information and it's about celebrating life and partying.
SM: I know that you do a lot for the City of Oakland. Have you considered running for mayor?
DW: I don't think I want a job! (laughs). No, I've never really considered it because it's a lot of focus and a lot of responsibility. I think that I'm just doing it from my heart and my spirit and I get along well in Oakland. I know a lot is changing; a lot of people are not feeling good about the change that's coming about in our city, but I embrace it. I really support what's going on because I know that we're gonna change history, and we'll fix it. I know that a lot of people have to understand why we are so proud of our city and we walk around like we own the world. We do own the world! Oakland California! What!!!
SM: You have done a lot of work with the community. What causes are you currently involved in?
DW: I've worked with a lot of non-profits since 1988/1989. I got involved when I was doing stuff with the mayor back then. Right now, I am supporting Oakland Natives, a couple of young ladies who are originally from Oakland; they do the back pack giveaways every year to kids in school. I also have my own non-profit called Oakland Youth Aid. We have some things that are in store for the years to come that I want to make happen. Also, every other Wednesday night at 8 p.m. I host Oakland R&B Live, which is something I'd like to get people to come out to. It's at the Imagine Affairs Art Lounge in the beautiful hub of Oakland, off of 14th Street and Broadway. It's fly, you know; we feature all of the backline instruments like the piano, drums and guitar. People show up, sign up and get it in. Every now and then, you will catch somebody from LA pop into the spot and take the stage.
SM: Give us a preview of your new album.
DW: We have a song called "It's a Beautiful thing; in fact I may have to give you a sample of that one. It's straight from the guitar. We will definitely perform it at the show. It's a beautiful thing just being able to celebrate 25 years of being in the business. We did a little something different, everybody knows, when the Tonys come, we come a little bit different that what's out there; we stay in our lane, we run our own race.

Black Music Month Exclusive--Shaggy, Tarrus Riley, Morgan Heritage and World Class Musicians Headline the 21st Annual Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, June 20-22 By Shelah MoodyPublished on Friday, 20 June 2014 07:35
Black Music Month Exclusive--Shaggy, Tarrus Riley, Morgan Heritage and World Class Musicians Headline the 21st Annual Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, June 20-22
By Shelah Moody
Well it's that time again--Summer Solstice which coincides with one of northern California's largest musical extravaganzas, the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival. Presented by founders Warren Smith and Gretchen Franz of Epiphany Artists, SNWMF XXI kicks off on Friday, June 20th at Mendocino County Fairgrounds in Boonville, CA and runs through June 22nd.
Recently, I spoke with some of the SNWMF XXI headliners and also, the supporting musicians that help shape their sound.
I remember when I first interviewed a young and upcoming singer named Tarrus Riley during his first San Francisco performance at the Apple Store in Union Square with Wayne Wonder. Since then, with hits such as "She's Royal" "Lion Paw," "Stay with You" and his cover of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature," Tarrus Riley, the son of veteran singer Jimmy Riley, has emerged as one of reggaes most in demand acts. During a Valentine's Day concert this year in San Francisco presented by DJ Smoky, the bespectacled vocalist and his band, Black Soil, won the hearts of the audience—especially the women in the crowd. Riley performed tributes to those who paved the way for him including Jimmy Riley, Buju Banton, and Third World's lead vocalist William "Bunny Rugs" Clarke (who passed away earlier this year).
I asked Riley about his personal concept of soul.
"It comes from my culture, my emotions, and my experience," said Riley.
Riley described his band, Black Soil, which includes acclaimed saxophonist/producer Dean Fraser and bassist/producer Glen Browne, as the best group of musicians to come out of Jamaica. Riley's latest album, "Love Situation" rose to the top of the reggae iTunes and the "Billboard" reggae Charts. Riley described "Love Situation" as a tribute to the rock steady era of Jamaican music, featuring original love songs.
I asked Riley if he aspired to receive Grammy recognition.
"I mean until I win a Grammy, I will be singing for the aunties and the uncles and the mommies and the daddies and the grannies," said Riley. "It's a family thing. Grammy's are nice, but if not, we're still here."
Riley's bassist, Glen Browne is a world renowned musician, producer, arranger and devout Rastafarian from Kingston, JA. He has previously toured and recorded with many reggae and jazz greats including Jimmy Cliff, Ziggy Marley, Luciano, Monty Alexander and Delfeayo Marsalis. On his Island Treasure label, Glen Browne recently produced a remake of the Mighty Diamonds' reggae classic "Sweet Lady," featuring vocalist Kamau. Glen Browne has also teamed up with his wife, Marjorie-Kay Browne and dub poet Mutabaruka on a remake of James Moody's jazz standard "Moody's Mood for Love."
Tarrus Riley and Black Soil perform Sunday, June 22, on the Valley Stage at 5:30 p.m.
Grammy winning crossover reggae/dancehall artist Shaggy and his band, Hot Shot, will be bringing sex back to the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival. Shaggy, a Desert Storm veteran who was raised in New York, rose to international stardom and gained his moniker "Mr. Lova Lova" with hits such as "Boombastic," "Luv Me Luv Me," with Janet Jackson and his signature track, "It Wasn't Me," a song that made Michael Jackson smile during a tribute concert at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2001. Speaking of crossover appeal, Shaggy was one of the few reggae acts to open for the Rolling Stones several years ago.
Eclectic guitarist Robert "Dubwise" Browne (son of Glen Browne) has been touring with Shaggy for more than a decade. Browne has also toured with Jimmy Cliff and Morgan Heritage. Browne has recorded two instrumental solo recordings, "Birth" and "Electrifying Grooves of Diversion." He recently remixed Pharell's megahit "Happy" in reggae style.
I caught up with Browne when Shaggy and the Hot Shot band performed at the Mezzanine nightclub in San Francisco. Browne's influences include Jimmy Hendrix, George Benson and Junior Marvin. Browne is thrilled to be performing once again with Shaggy at SNWMF.
I asked Browne about the chemistry that has kept he and Shaggy performing together for so many years.
"Obviously, Shaggy likes how I play, but I guess it's mutual respect," said Browne. "I don't do anything that he would not approve of. I tour with other artists as well, so when Shaggy is not touring, I let him know in advance so there is no clash. I guess in any job situation, when you behave yourself, you can stay as long as you want."
Shaggy and the Hot Shot Band perform on the Valley Stage on Saturday, June 21 at 10:30 p.m.
When you think of the royal families of reggae, Morgan Heritage comes to mind. Morgan Heritage features siblings Peter, Gramps, Una, Mr. Mojo and Lukes Morgan. They are the children of veteran reggae singer Denroy Morgan.
Morgan Heritage rose to fame with conscious reggae tracks such as "Don't Haffi Dread (To Be Rasta)," "Down by the River," "Jah Seed" and "She's Still Loving Me.". During a recent performance at Slim's nightclub in San Francisco, a third generation of Morgans, crooner 18-year-old Jemere Morgan, son of Gramps, opened the show.
I spoke with singer/keyboardist Una Morgan about the groups' latest projects. Some members of the family, such as Gramps, who opened for India.Arie, and Mr. Mojo, who recorded a version of "The Girl is Mine" with David Hinds of Steel Pulse" have ventured into solo careers but still come back to Morgan Heritage.
"We never separated, we've been taking time to raise our children; as you can see, my nephew, Jemere, is here with us tonight," said Una. "I had time to be a mom, and now I'm preparing for my solo album. Gramps and Peter have both had solo albums, and now it's time for me to represent the women. I'm excited about it! The first single will be out this summer and the album will be out next year."
I asked Morgan for a few words on the loss of one of the greatest voices in the industry, Bunny Rugs.
"Oh my goodness, he was one of our biggest inspirations," said Morgan. "He and my dad were really good friends. We are very blessed and humbled to have known such a great man. May he continue to rest in peace."
Morgan Heritage performs on the Valley Stage on Sunday, June 21 at 1:30 p.m.
