New publications: ME21News September 6, 2018
The Orpheus Institute is happy to release three new publications from the MusicExperiment21 research cluster, led by Paulo de Assis: Powers of Divergence (Lucia D'Errico), Transpositions (Michael Schwab, ed.) and Virtual Works - Actual Things (Paulo de Assis, ed.).
The books are published by Leuven University Press and are available through Open Access and in print.
The last book from the MusicExperiment21 research cluster is expected soon: Logic of Experimentation (Paulo de Assis)
Powers of Divergence
An Experimental Approach to Music Performance
(Lucia D'Errico)
What does it mean to produce resemblance in the performance of written music? Starting from how this question is commonly answered by the practice of interpretation in Western notated art music, this book proposes a move beyond commonly accepted codes, conventions and territories of music performance. Appropriating reflections from post-structural philosophy, visual arts and semiotics, and crucially based upon an artistic research project with a strong creative and practical component, it proposes a new approach to music performance. The approach is based on divergence, on the difference produced by intensifying the chasm between the symbolic aspect of music notation and the irreducible materiality of performance. Instead of regarding performance as reiteration, reconstruction and reproduction of past musical works, Powers of Divergence emphasises its potential for the emergence of the new and for the problematisation of the limits of musical semiotics.
Aesthetico-Epistemic Operators in Artistic Research
(Michael Schwab, ed.)
Research leads to new insights rupturing the existent fabric of knowledge. Situated in the still evolving field of artistic research, this book investigates a fundamental quality of this process. Building on the lessons of deconstruction, artistic research invents new modes of epistemic relationships that include aesthetic dimensions.
Under the heading transposition, seventeen artists, musicians, and theorists explain how one thing may turn into another in a spatio-temporal play of identity and difference that has the power to expand into the unknown. By connecting materially concrete positions in a way familiar to artists, this book shows how moves can be made between established positions and completely new ground. In doing so, research changes from a process that expands knowledge to one that creatively reinvents it.
Virtual Works – Actual Things
Essays in Music Ontology
(Paulo de Assis, ed.)
What are musical works? How are they constructed in our minds? Which material things allow us to speak about them in the first place? Does a specific way of conceiving musical works limit their performative potentials? Which alternative, more productive images of musical work can be devised?
Virtual Works – Actual Things addresses contemporary music ontological discourses, challenging dominant musicological accounts, questioning their authoritative foundation and moving towards dynamic perspectives devised by music practitioners and artist researchers. Specific attention is given to the relationship between the virtual multiplicities that enable the construction of an image of a musical work and the actual, concrete materials that make such a construction possible. With contributions by prominent scholars, this book is a wide-ranging and fascinating collection of essays, which will be of great interest for artistic research, contemporary musicology, music philosophy, performance studies and music pedagogy alike.

The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) / ERC grant agreement n° 313419.

DirectX 11 - Tom Clancy's The Division
Tom Clancy's The Division is an online action-RPG set in an immersive & realistic urban open world.
Everything starts on Black Friday, when a devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City, and society starts to collapse into chaos. You are humanity's last hope: a member of The Division, a unit of sleeper agents activated to save what remains.
While we hate to coin an NVIDIA term, this truly is the way this game was meant to be played. Asus ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 absolutely transforms The Division on Ultra from a 'just amazing looking game' to one that is 'so smooth and realistic that it completely sucks you in immersion wise'. This is another game responsible for sinking a lot (too much?) of our review time as we were totally mesmerized by the fluidity of experience that unfolded before us. Even at 1080p, the GTX 1080 continues the 2:1 framerate ratio trend.
Moving on to 1440p, the Asus ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 loses around 25% of its performance, however, it manages to maintain an impressive 75 FPS overall. The other cards in our benchmark begin to struggle at Ultra slipping down to the 40 FPS or lower mark – some image quality sacrifices are needed on the other cards to maintain a more respectable framerate at this resolution.

Hollywood is the land that appears to be filled with glitz and glam as the celebrities of the world climb their way up the ladder of fame. However, this mystical land might also be home to the biggest secrets. How far are these stars willing to go to keep their private lives just that? Over the years, we have seen many game-changing secrets come to light. One particular star has hit headlines in the last few years as he publicly admitted what we've known all along: Dennis Quaid.
Quaid was one of those heartthrobs actors who's appeared in countless films, but let's just say the the Hollywood life isn't always easy to handle. No one is immune to the temptations of the high profile life, and he was no exception.
The man behind the roles
When thinking of actors in Hollywood, there can be a huge number of names that roll off the tongue. However, there's one who's disappeared from view over the last few years. After starring in a number of Hollywood hits, how could we forget about the legendary Dennis Quaid?
This actor has been around for nearly 40 years, but now it looks as though he has got us talking about more than just his acting skills. Where had he gone? Well, eagle-eyed Fans looked for clues in one particular – and infamous – "leaked" video of him going through a very bad meltdown.
The early years
Dennis William Quaid was born on April 9, 1954, in Texas. The youngster was raised by his electrician father, William Rudy Quaid, as well as his real estate agent mom, Nita Quaid.
The family was completed by his three siblings: Brandy, Randy, and Buddy Quaid. Dennis had a childhood like many others as he went to the local schools before he found his true calling at high school. It was during his teenage years that Dennis realized how much he loved to dance and act. Could he have found his calling card in life? It wasn't long before the youngster was off to college to study with the help of coach Cecil Pickett.
Another devotion
As well as having strong ties to being on stage, Dennis also had another huge part of his life that took up a lot of his time: religion. Did you know that over 56% of Texas is religious? Dennis was no exception.
The actor began practicing religion as soon as he was born, and grew up as a firm believer of faith, just like the rest of his family. However, as the actor continued to grow older, he started to become more and more eccentric. He was struggling to remember his faith.
Breaking out of the shadow
Sometimes, it can be hard to grow up in the shadow of our siblings. As hard as we try, they can always seem to be one step ahead of us.
Dennis was no exception; not when he was growing up with Hollywood star Randy Quaid as his older brother. To date, the actor has appeared in more than 90 movies, but he first hit the big time as Larry Meadows in the comedy-drama movie The Last Detail back in 1973. Randy had everything Dennis wanted.
Making his name count
Even though Dennis had Randy there to help guide him in Hollywood, the actor still struggled to find his very own breakout role. No matter what Dennis did, it seemed as though no one wanted to give this star a chance.
Sure, he was the brother of the famous Randy Quaid, but did that mean he was any good? It wasn't until 1979 that Dennis secured his ticket to Hollywood after landing a part in the comedy-drama Breaking Away. At long last, he could join the ranks of the rich and famous.
First time down the aisle
Around the same time that Dennis was becoming the latest Hollywood star, he met and fell for his first wife, actress P.J. Soles. The pair met while they were both filming the drama movie Our Winning Season back in 1978.
The couple might have only landed minor roles in the film, but they fell for each other. They were officially married later the same year. Only it wasn't meant to last. By 1983, the relationship ended in divorce.
Rising to the top
Dennis was now battling his own personal emotions as he continued to climb the ladder of success. However, the actor wasn't going to let anything hold him back.
Instead, Dennis continued to appear in a number of films, such as the horror thriller Jaws 3-D, the comedy-drama The Big Easy, and the rom-com Wilder Napalm. Dennis Quaid was quickly becoming one of the biggest names of the time in Hollywood. Was there no character this actor couldn't play?
A brand new character
The world was finally giving the actor the opportunities he was searching for to make it to the top, so many weren't surprised to hear Dennis was given a part in the Western biographical movie Wyatt Earp.
As if that wasn't enough, Dennis was even offered one of the leading roles in the film as the character Doc Holliday. However, there was a catch. There needed to be some major changes if the actor was going to secure himself the part.
Getting into character
Dennis knew the film was going to test all his acting capabilities. Little did he know how it was going to affect his entire life.
The movie follows the life of the title character as he fights for what he believes in: his family and abiding by the law. However, when he starts a war with the local gangs, he needs all the help he can get. Dennis played the part of Wyatt's friend, but the actor needed to reflect the character's health. To do this, he had to lose 40 pounds.
Doing anything for the part
Over the years, we have seen many Hollywood stars transform into entirely new people as they prepare for their latest role. However, there is nothing like watching an actor drop their weight to secure the part.
It's reported Chris Pratt dropped 60 pounds for his role in the superhero movie Guardians of the Galaxy, while Tom Hanks lost 55 pounds for the survival drama Castaway, and Christian Bale shed 63 pounds for his part in the psychological thriller The Machinist.
Another heartbreak
From the outside, it looked as though Dennis Quaid was living the high life. As well as landing role after role, the actor also married fellow actress Meg Ryan back in 1991.
The pair had already worked together, but it was their time on the set of the crime thriller D.O.A. where they fell in love. They wed three years later and went on to have a son together, Jack Henry. Sadly, after ten years together, the couple filed for divorce after rumors that Dennis had been unfaithful.
Third time's the charm
Could things finally be on the up for the actor? Dennis has been married twice before. Now, it was time for wedding number three as he walked down the aisle with Kimberly Buffington, a real-estate agent from Texas, in 2004.
Although life seemed good, there was more bad news to come. The pair welcomed twins in 2007, but a mistake at the hospital saw the 10-day-old newborns receive 1,000 times the medicine dose they were supposed to have. Thankfully, they both survived.
Changing their minds
Dennis and Kimberly were together for eight years before news emerged they were filing for divorce. Apparently, there were disagreements between the pair that Kimberly could no longer face.
So everyone was surprised to hear the estate agent had recalled her papers and changed her mind about the divorce. Sadly, it wasn't long before their relationship was back on the rocks. Over the next few years, they continued to file for divorce and retract the papers until they were officially separated in 2016.
A brand new chapter
Once again, Dennis was single. Perhaps it wasn't third time is lucky after all? However, the actor still wanted to remain positive.
In fact, during an interview, the star admitted his 50s had been a kind decade as he got to enjoy the last few years before growing old. Now, it was time to focus on the future. Only, there was something Dennis needed to do if he was going to keep moving forward: he needed to admit to everything from his past.
A life-changing battle
It turns out the actor had been battling his own personal demons, and it all started with his role in Wyatt Earp. Although the actor had managed to lose 40 pounds for the part, it had taken a significant toll on his health.
Dennis had developed anorexia nervosa from his unhealthy eating habits, as well as an addiction to an illegal substance in a bid to keep his weight down. Plus, the actor admitted his narcotic use was considered "normal" at the time. Now, he needed to own up to the truth.
Looking for a way to cope
The media has always wanted to find out the truth behind the lives of these celebrities, and Dennis Quaid was no exception.
In fact, there have been many stories about his potential narcotic use that we have always known, but now he was finally admitting to it. However, Dennis had another part of his story to tell. The actor realized that he had let religion slip from his life, and now was a better time than ever to fall back in love with his faith.
A grand return
His religion wasn't the only thing that had been missing from Dennis' life; he had also lost his passion for music.
The actor has been a member of the rock and roll band the Sharks for nearly two decades. However, his addiction and eating disorder meant he hadn't performed with the group for over ten years. As well as putting the rest of his life back together, Dennis wanted to find a way to rekindle his love for music.
Shark attack
It wasn't long before the Sharks were back in action. They might have formed 17 years ago, but now it was time for a whole new beginning.
The band have never had a recording label. However, they love playing together and have even been in the studio since 2017 as they are planning on recording their debut album. Although Dennis jokes they will be the "oldest guys" in rock and roll, nothing can hold him back from his dreams.
Getting back on track
As well as his musical adventures, Dennis has continued to land successful role after successful role as he makes his way back to the top of the career ladder.
Recently, the actor has been seen in the drama series The Art of More, the psychological thriller show Fortitude, the comedy-drama A Dog's Purpose, and even the drama I Can Only Imagine. It seems that getting back into Hollywood isn't the only part of Dennis' life that is back on track.
New love
Dennis has also found himself a new love in the form of 31-year-old model Santa Auzina. The pair have now been official for two years, and it looks as though their relationship could soon be about to hit the next level.
Dennis already has three children and admitted he never planned on having any more. However, his relationship with Santa has got the actor questioning whether he will continue to grow his family. Could we be about to hear the pitter-patter of little Dennis' once again?
Focusing on career
Whether Quaid is going to marry his current love or if the two plan on expanding their family, that is all up in the air. One thing is for certain, however, Dennis is back!
As a musician, as an actor, professionally in general, he is making a comeback right before our eyes. Nothing can hold him back as he moves on with his life, taking his career to all new highs. There are definitely big things coming for Dennis Quaid; we have not seen – or heard – the last of him.
Debut album
Well it looks like Quaid's dream is finally coming true. The actor is officially going to become a musician – as if he wasn't already. His band, The Sharks, is set to release their album on November 30, 2018.
This is something Quaid has always wanted to do, so it's extremely impressive and exciting for him that he was able to make this dream come true. The band also has occasional performances in places like Tennessee. Maybe after the album's release, they'll have that record deal and a tour!
Other actors turned musicians
It turns out that our beloved Dennis Quaid is not the only actor who also dabbles in music. Others, such as Kevin Bacon and Kiefer Sutherland, have also enjoyed – or continue to enjoy – their time performing in bands.
Bacon and his brother, Michael, have a duo called the Bacon Brothers, while Sutherland also enjoys performing and even made his Broadway debut in 2011. It seems like most of the people in Hollywood are even more talented than we ever knew.
New releases
Aside from his music career kicking off in a big way, Quaid also has some huge things coming up in his acting career. As we already know, the actor can pretty much play any role in any genre of film.
That being said, he has three completely different movies coming out within the next year or so. One is a psychological thriller called The Intruder; another is a sequel to A Dog's Purpose called A Dog's Journey; and the third is a biographical drama called Reagan.
Playing a president
The film Reagan will be a film that documents the life of former President Ronald Reagan. Quaid will play the man in his elder years and it seems like a perfect casting because he even resembles the late Reagan.
The movie had a few bumps along the road due to financials, but the producers recently secured funding and the process is set to proceed soon. Dennis admitted in an interview with Fox News that he's a bit nervous about the role because it's way out of his comfort zone.
Devastating loss
While Quaid has obviously moved on professional and personally, there is still something that he holds dear to his heart emotionally. It is something that has been eating him up for over ten years.
This is the devastating loss of his Parent Trap co-star Natasha Richardson. Dennis admitted as recently as September, 2018 he is still heartbroken over her passing that happened in a 2009 skiing accident. The actor considered her a dear friend and her death hit him extremely hard.
Meg's new bling
Aside from losing such a close friend, a more recently occurrence that probably wasn't easy for Quaid happened in November, 2018.
His ex-wife Meg Ryan was recently seen walking out and about with a little something extra on her finger. It turns out her longtime on-again-off-again romance with John Mellencamp is about to be made official: the two are engaged! It's okay, Dennis, you have Santa Suzina's shoulder to cry on if you need it. It's never easy to see an ex remarry, even if you already have moved on.
Up for sale
Speaking of moving on from exes, in July 2018, Quaid and his ex Kimberly Buffington-Quaid moved on in a big way. The two put their gorgeous home in Pacific Palisades, California up for sale.
It's a shame that this house had to go because it really is something special. For those interested, the mansion is set at nearly $6.5 million. Not too shabby, but probably only another celebrity could afford something so pricey. If you need 6 bedrooms and just over 16,000 square feet, this beauty could be yours!
Presenting awards
While we're sure this wasn't the highest of highlights in Quaid's life, it's still an honor to say the least. In November 2018, Quaid attended the 52nd CMA Awards and he was given the opportunity to present an award.
Now that we know his music career is kicking off in all the right ways, maybe we will see him picking up one of these awards in the future. Here's to hoping that his new album will become a huge hit.
Something to be proud of
Although it's fair to say that Quaid had several downs, he also had many ups over his 40+ year career. The actor and musician is undoubtedly talented and he knows how to create a successful career.
He has struggled throughout his life, but he was strong and brave enough to come back and keep fighting – pretty impressive to say the least. There was a time where Quaid allegedly thought he'd be dead in five years, but thankfully he's still here and we can't wait to see what's next for him.
Like father like son
It seems that the more we think we know about Dennis, the more we find out how wrong we are. We mentioned earlier that Dennis and Meg had a son named Jack, but did you ever wonder what ended up happening with him?
It turns out that Jack ended up growing into an actor just like his old man, and has actually appeared in a feature film that blew up the box offices. When you see what he was in, you won't be able to believe that you missed it.
Hunger Games star
Yep, that's right. Jack Quaid played the role of Marvel in the first installment of the Hunger Games film series.
His character, Marvel, came from District 1, and he was considered to be one of the "Careers," meaning a tribute who has trained their whole life to fight at the Hunger Games. But although he had a strong alliance, and was a skillful warrior, Marvel was shot by Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence) with an arrow towards the end of the film.
Just like his Pops
In addition to Jack's appearance in the Hunger Games, he also was a staple character on the HBO music drama, Vinyl. He played the role of Clark Morelle, an A&R representative at a respectable record label.
The show only lasted one season, but it was still a pretty big deal for Jack. He also appeared in a 2018 film called Rampage, and if he keeps this up, we may have to conclude that the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree.
Band name source
In fact, Dennis even said that it was Jack who came up with the name for his band, The Sharks – when he was only nine years old! "We were wondering what to call ourselves," said Dennis.
They couldn't come up with anything good and then 9-year-old exclaimed, "The Sharks!" The inspiration came to Jack from the fact that it was Shark Week at the time, and Dennis joked that he was glad it wasn't dinosaur week.
Looking young and free
Meanwhile, Dennis is probably feeling a lot younger than he ever has. Maybe it's the rock band that he's playing in. Or maybe it's the fact that he's moved on from the life of being addicted to illicit substances.
Or maybe it's the fact that he's brought religion closer to his life. Or maybe it's the fact that he's dating a 31-year-old gorgeous French Canadian blonde woman. When you combine all of those things together, you get the point we're making.
Hawaii fun
In fact, Dennis has been living it up these days. He spent a total of six months recording his new album, Out of the Box, with his band, and now all he wants to do is hang out with his new girl.
He says that these days are filled with "chilling out in Hawaii" with his girlfriend, and both of their sets of kids. If you think that sounds like a dream come true, it's probably because it is. It's clear that these two are very much into each other.
Wedding bells coming?
The real question is, how much are they into each other? Is this just a fling for the both of them? After all, Quaid did just finalize a divorce, and it's possible that he may not want to jump into anything too serious.
Right now he just wants to love life and hang out with his girlfriend and their kids, but it will be interesting to see if it leads to a ring on her finger. So what did he say when he was asked about potentially getting married again?
Loving their time together
"I never count anything out," said Quaid, about potentially tying the knot with the 31-year-old Santa.
He clearly has no qualms about the fact that he's more than twice her age, and it seems to be the case that she has no problem with it either. They love going to dinner together, and they even already have a favorite restaurant! He also said that he loves making special nights with her while they're on the road.
Song for her
It we were to find a poetic way of connecting his music career with his love life, we wouldn't have a hard time doing that.
This is because Dennis has found a way to extract inspiration from his love life into his songwriting. Just take a listen to "You're So Fine," a song that Dennis wrote. According to him, it was about his lovely girlfriend Santa. It seems that he and her are living quite the romantic tale, and we wonder where it will take them.
Goofy loving family
In the meantime, it's pretty hard not to fall in love with this guy and his family. Their goofy smiles reflects beautifully on the fact that they're clearly close with one another.
They probably are also pretty busy with their lives, and they don't always get a chance to spend time with one another. These are the type of things that make us human – the love we share, and the time and energy with devote to one another. Can you feel it?
Getting it all on video
While the photo did show a tender, more intimate moment in Dennis' life, he was definitely not feeling the love in another one – also immortalized but in a different way. Not too long ago, a video of the veteran actor was leaked to the internet.
It seemed to have been taken on the set of unnamed production of some kind – possibly the movie he was working on at the time. Like Christian Bale before him, Quaid proceeded to have what seemed like a profanity-laced meltdown, as he berated the crew on the shoot in very vulgar terms. Fans, unused to this sort of behavior from him, were understandably shocked.
The truth comes out
At first, no one was quite sure what to make of the video. It seemed pretty out of character for Quaid, so many speculated that it was some kind of prank – possibly one orchestrated by notorious prankster Jimmy Kimmel.
However, Quaid appeared on Kimmel's show and officially denied any collaboration between the two. Eventually, the truth came out – it really was staged, a skit recorded for comedy website "Funny or Die." It was Quaid's first brush with going viral on the internet – and he pulled it off perfectly.

A day after an armed man from North Carolina entered a Washington, D.C. pizza parlor, spurred on by a conspiracy theory stoked in the weeks before the November elections by the release of hacked emails from Wikileaks, the White House said fake stories circulated on the internet about the Hillary Clinton campaign had almost produced a terrible outcome.
"It's deeply troubling that some of those false reports could lead to violence," said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, as Earnest praised the work of D.C. police to deal with Edgar Maddison Welch, who was arrested without incident.
"I think there's no denying the corrosive effect that some of these false reports have had on our political debate," Earnest added.
Police in Washington confirmed that the suspect had been drawn to the Comet Ping Pong pizza place because of internet stories that claim the restaurant has been the center of a child sex trafficking ring run by supporters of Hillary Clinton.
"During a post arrest interview this evening, the suspect revealed that he came to the establishment to self-investigate "Pizza Gate" (a fictitious online conspiracy theory," a police statement read.
After writing a story on Sunday about the incident, numerous responses on Facebook and Twitter accused me of lying about the true nature of Comet Ping Pong, covering up for pedophiles, as many demanded to know how I could take my wife and children to a restaurant that they claimed - without any real evidence - was a haven for terrible crimes.
"I'm not surprised you advise other people to put their kids in harm's way," wrote one person on Twitter.
"I am astounded that you wrote this article," another person wrote. "Just stay out of it. I would delete this post and move on."
Along with those two, there were many others who believe the "pizzagate" conspiracy theory, and weren't backing off one bit.
My response to many of them was to ask if they had ever been inside the pizza place, which features food and drinks in the front, and ping pong tables in the back.
"It's a great place for pizza. You should take your kids there," I told a number people who pressed the pizzagate claims.
Those included the son of President-Elect Trump's choice for National Security Adviser, as Michael Flynn pointed me directly to the John Podesta emails released by Wikileaks.
Those emails included numerous references to "pizza," which critics of Hillary Clinton wove into an elaborate story of sex crimes, based out of Comet Ping Pong.
A story that seems to have no real evidence to back it up, but keeps gaining more and more traction online.
It's left many in the D.C. community around the restaurant wondering what in the heck is going on when it comes to election year conspiracy theories getting in the way of a drink and meal.
"Comet Ping Pong is a nice funky fun family place where adults can sip a cold beer while their kids play ping pong. Nothing more nothing less," said a buddy of mine.
"And now some maniac had to find his way here."
Meanwhile, the suspect has told police that he came from North Carolina to Comet Ping Pong for the expressed purpose of freeing child sex slaves that he believed were being held at the restaurant - the story that's been told by a wild conspiracy theory that accused Hillary Clinton aides of running a child sex trafficking operation.
The man was inside the restaurant for 45 minutes and gave up - after concluding that there was no evidence to back up those online conspiracy theories.

2 Years Building Political Support
8 years ago, a digital consultant was hired by the United Nations to explain how we should do digital engagement.
His reported explained we needed to merge PR and Fundraising into a new digital department, with a head of digital co-ordinating joint social media messages across all our platforms.
All staff needed to integrate social media into their roles. We needed to recruit a couple of new digital engagement specialists.
I'm not sure anyone read more than that summary.
A project like this would require the PR and fundraising teams to like each other, one of the department heads to cede to the other, all staff to find the time for something they didn't value (back then), and the hiring freeze to be cast aside.
It would require various people and departments with divergent interests to divest themselves of dozens of projects in the pipeline and focus on this.
It would take 2+ years to gain the political support to make this happen. Another 2 to make it happen. Even then it would be hard to sustain that momentum with high staff turnover.
My bugbear with much social business advice is it focuses on the ideal, singular examples, and not the harsh reality. It's never possible to transplant what worked in one organisation to another – the differences are too big.
What gained internal support at one organisation won't work at yours. Employees clash, turf wars are real, time is limited, budget is restricted.
If you're going in to an organisation to build an internal community today, your job isn't to highlight everything they should do. They'll highlight why they can't, feel bad, and disassociate themselves from you.
Your job is to highlight everything they can do. Your job is to figure out what's possible. Your job is to nudge them, one step at a time, ever closer to the ideal.
You might just find, as you take one step at a time, momentum builds in your favour.

Why you should use a Cryptocurrency CalculatorSalem-News.com
Trading without being fully informed is very risky.
(SALEM, Ore.) - Cryptocurrency investors who have been in the business for quite some time now, or anyone for that matter, who follow the crypto industry knows that there are a flurry of digital currencies in circulation and more ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) are being launched almost every month hence the introduction of even more cryptocurrencies.
As an investor, one does not only concentrate on one currency but rather on at least two or more in order to reap the benefits in the falling and rising in the value of different cryptocurrencies. Due to the flurry of digital currencies, it becomes very difficult for an investor to keep abreast with all the changes in the value of different cryptocurrencies hence the need to use the crypto calculator.
What the Crypto Calculator is used for
The Crypto calculator is used for monitoring the value of different cryptocurrencies in real time. This means for an investor who is looking to trade in different cryptocurrencies, s/he will know the real value of the digital currency that s/he is looking to trade in at that exact moment. This is very crucial to every investor because the values of digital currencies change (sometimes significantly) constantly over short periods of time.
The crypto calculator itself is a fusion of two things i.e. a calculator (as you know it) on one hand and a converter (much like other fiat currency converters). These two elements i.e. the calculator and the converter help the investor calculate the value of a digital currency at any given moment and release the results in comparison to fiat currencies.
The default fiat currency used in comparing the value of a digital currency is the US but investors do have the freedom to change this setting and compare the value of a digital currency against any other fiat currency of their choice (if their fiat currency choice is supported).
Reasons for using the Crypto Calculator
The first and perhaps most important reason why it's important for every crypto investor to use the crypto calculator is that the calculator works in real time. This importance cannot be understated because when trading be it cryptocurrencies or any other currencies, one needs to be fully aware of what's going on at that very same moment.
If an investor trades without full knowledge of the current state of affairs, then the probability is that s/he is likely to be taken advantage of and in the process lose a lot of savings.
The second important reason why all crypto investors should have and use a crypto calculator is as a result of its ability to support most if not all cryptocurrencies in their dozens.
This means crypto investors dealing with high-value digital currencies and also crypto investors dealing with low-value digital currencies can all use the crypto calculator. Bitcoin, Litecoin, Zcash, Monero, Dash, Ripple among many others are all supported by the crypto calculator.
Last but certainly not the least, the crypto calculator comes free of charge meaning it's simple for anyone to get it. All one needs is internet connectivity as the calculator is available online. The calculator is also not difficult to use, just choose your digital currency from a list or type it down and check its value against the US Dollar.

The Scent of Heat
E.P. Sery
Ariella Paz is not in a good place. It's the 1950s, and the 19-year-old is serving her country in the Israeli military, going home at night to a mother who is devastatingly ill, and realizing her dream of leaving home and going to America is slipping further and further away.
Meeting Arik Emmanuel, her boss's friend, lifts her spirits and distracts Ariella from her sorrows. He showers her with love and luxury, which only masks the dangers inherent in his increasingly possessive behavior.
As their torrid and secret love affair plays out in Israel and Europe, Ariella has some big decisions to make. Can she really leave her family in their time of need? Does she have a legitimate future with Arik? And is there anyone in whom she can confide?
Each direction she turns will change her life dramatically. Perhaps our destiny isn't something written in the stars, but a path forged by the choices we make.
I am organizing a cover reveal for The Scent of Heat by E.P. Sery, an Adult Historical Romance novel, designed by Mae I Design. The reveal is scheduled for Thursday, June 14th, 2018 (after 12:01AM EST). Social media sites are welcome. There will also be a giveaway you can include in your post.
An email with the posting information will be sent to all participants 2 days before the reveal.
HTML will also be provided.

Mummy and Daddy drop by to meet Wen Wei's form teacher Ms Irene Yeo last Thursday. This is our first teacher meet parents session for Nan Qiao.
Mummy has been coaching Wei since he joins Primary one.
Wei is normally hardworking, and accomplished his assignments on time.
(although we sometimes have to nag nag nag )
Character and Personality
Teacher mentioned that Wei is helpful, and able to articulate himself.
Helpful and cheerful boy.
But he can be talkative at times.
And Teacher wants Mummy and Daddy to help monitor Wei's non-sensical outbreaks.
When Wei is with his buddies, they tend to sprout nonsense.
(Daddy prefers talk-cork-sing-song)
Peers will boost each other's courage,
and the boys can sometimes be too rowdy for the poor class monitress :)
Mummy and Daddy will pay more attention to Wei.
We know Wen Wei can sometimes Yell at his siblings (especially Wen Kang), when they are contending for same thing.
Wen Wei's continual assessment are quite good, except comprehension.
His Pri 1 peers also perform poorly in comprehension, as they tend to answer in single word, instead of proper sentence. (the phone text sms-generation?)
Do you know that Nan Qiao is one of the 16 Primary schools which skip SA1?
- how do we access his school assessments?
- will children without SA1 and SA2 be disadvantaged when they have their exams later on?
As this is a new MOE initiative, we, together with other parents,
are also curious and anxious.
How will children's progress be affected, benefits?
No one will know until a few years later :)
Personally, we prefer this New no-exams, but continual assessment Mode.
- We are supposed to be updated more frequently on children's' progress
- and no Exam stress (yes, parents are often more stressed than children during exam period)
Hopefully, less route memory work for children, and more opportunities to think out of the box. After all, in life, we are faced with different challenges every now and then.
For more information on MOE's new holistic-assessment approach, read up :
- http://www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/peri/updates/
- http://www.asiaone.com/News/Education/Story/A1Story20100531-219294.html
**updated 25Jul2010
No exams Pri 1, but SA2 for Pri 2 applies

Me, I purchased the black/grey color scheme. I wanted something more neutral that I could wear, and I'm not cool enough to wear bright blue/green sneaks. As a Landshark, I put the "sneak" in sneaks,…Continue
Are the shoes worth it? Ive wanted a pair for a while, but i wanna know if they are sturdy and woulnt fall apart.
Also, one more question! Are they good quality shoes, and if they don't fit can they be sent back or anything? I have very "picky feet". :)
Hi, everybody! I'm new to this site, but thinking about buying some mythical shoes! I have a question, though, for anyone who already has them. What are they made of? I don't need the exact fabric or anything, I was just wondering if they're like those huge skater shoes, or if they're more like converse with the canvas-type material. I've never really been a fan of big, cumbersome shoes....though, with shoes this mythical, I might change my mind. :)
is there any specific reason why the pocket is placed differently on the different colours of shoe?
just got mine today! :D

This eight-week long series has something for every taste and offers some welcome musical treats during the long summer nights including music performed by the world's greatest artists and our own community groups showcasing their talents.
On 4 June, virtuoso Gypsy violinist Roby Lakatos and his fantastic Ensemble are welcomed back to the Barbican to perform their unique and dazzling mix of classical, jazz and their own Hungarian folk music together with the LSO. The fiery programme will include Monti's Csárdás, Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 and many other favourites to show off the talent of these truly astounding musicians.
On 7 June British film and television composer George Fenton joins the LSO for the first time to conduct and present music from his myriad of scores. Fenton has written music for over 70 feature films, collaborating with some of the most influential directors of the late 20th century. The programme includes a world concert premiere of music from the BBC TV series Planet Earth, Cry Freedom and the unforgettable music from his award-winning score The Blue Planet.
Yan Pascal Tortelier, who conducts the LSO for the concert on 11 June, has worked with some of the world's most acclaimed orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Here he joins one of today's foremost opera stars, Susan Graham in an exciting programme of Ravel and Debussy.
The LSO's President Sir Colin Davis will be conducting two very special concerts as part of the series. On 17 June the pianist Paul Lewis, one of the most sought-after artists of his generation, will join him in a concert featuring Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 5 and Brahms' Symphony No 3.

The 22 year-old Chinese pianist Yuja Wang makes her debut performance with the LSO on the 25 and 30 June 2009. Recently signed to Deutsche Grammophon, she is widely recognised for playing that combines the spontaneity and fearless imagination of youth with the discipline and precision of a mature artist. Principal Guest Conductor of the LSO, Michael Tilson Thomas conducts both concerts.
On 5 July Principal Guest Conductor Daniel Harding will conduct an interesting programme of Schumman's Overture: Manfred, Sibelius' Violin Concerto and Brahms' Symphony No 2. The prodigious violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann is the soloist for this concert.
Valery Gergiev will conduct the LSO on 9 July at St Paul's Cathedral, as part of the City of London Festival. The concert will feature Arvo Pärt's Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten and Bruckner's Symphony No 9, which is his last and greatest work - an image in sound of the soul's epic journey towards God. This is music composed on a scale that is mirrored in the great surrounding spaces of St Paul's itself.

Earlier today we wrote about Microsoft officially announcing Windows Phone 8 "Update 3," the update previously known as "GDR3." We briefly mentioned the new features found in this update, but ow we're going to talk about them more in-depth. A Windows Phone update is a rare thing, and we're sure you want to know every detail about what you will get.
Bigger screens, higher resolutions
As expected, this update readies Windows Phone for 5 and 6-inch displays. These displays will be 1080p and add an extra column of tiles on the Start Screen. Built-in apps such as Email and People will also be slightly changed to take advantage of the extra screen real estate. Gone are the days of using a bigger screen, but seeing the same amount of stuff.
Update 3 will also add support for quad-core processors. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 will now be supported, and we expect to see it on Nokia's new devices announced later this month.
Driving Mode
A new feature called Driving Mode will make you safer while in the car. Driving Mode can limit the amount of notifications you get while driving, and can ever be set up to auto-reply to calls or texts while driving. You can start Driving Mode manually or tell it to start when you connect a Bluetooth accessory.
Update 3 adds a suite of new apps to improve accessibility in Windows Phone. These apps will make it easier to see, hear, and use the phone. One of the apps included is a screen reader for the visually impaired.
Better Internet Sharing
In Update 3 Microsoft has made it easier to tether to your phones internet connection. Instead of having to enter a password or turn on Internet Sharing you can just pair your Windows 8.1 PC to your phone and it will automatically turn on and connect for you. Simple as that.
Custom Sounds
Custom ringtones for instant messages, emails, voicemails, and reminders are all possible now. You can assign custom sounds to contacts for text messages as well. This is a simple feature, but one that many people have been clamoring for.
Close Out
Many leaks of GDR3 shows the multitasking screen with little (X) buttons to close apps. In Update 3 this has become official. You will now see the little (X) in the corner of an open app in the multitasking screen. Just tap it to close that app.
The Rest

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!! My bunnies arrived in the post yesterday and all I can say each time I look at them is, "oh my goodness!!" They really are just perfect. Every painting this lovely lady creates for us, is even more beautiful than the last, but I can honestly say, their photographs, they really don't do them justice. They are so beautifully drawn, and its really very clear to see, the love and dedication that's been put in to each and every single brush stroke. Everybody can can identify with at least one of Naomi's paintings. Everybody should, and deserves to own, a little piece from My Painted Bear!xx
Karen Lawton Hall

"Absolutely wonderful, the artist has captured the emotions perfectly. My wife is super pleased. It arrived sooner than expected and was beautifully packaged."

I am a huge fan of Kasie West after Pivot Point (You can find my review here.) Once I figured out that she had another book coming out I spazzed out and rushed to get this book, and it was SO GOOD!! This book was a great read, and I read it in a day.
Here's the synopsis:
"Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers studies the rich like her own personal science experiment, and after years of observation she's pretty sure they're only good for one thing—spending money on useless stuff, like the porcelain dolls in her mother's shop.
So when Xander Spence walks into the store to pick up a doll for his grandmother, it only takes one glance for Caymen to figure out he's oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and that he's one of the first people who actually gets her, she's smart enough to know his interest won't last. Because if there's one thing she's learned from her mother's warnings, it's that the rich have a short attention span. But Xander keeps coming around, despite her best efforts to scare him off. And much to her dismay, she's beginning to enjoy his company.
She knows her mom can't find out—she wouldn't approve. She'd much rather Caymen hang out with the local rocker who hasn't been raised by money. But just when Xander's attention and loyalty are about to convince Caymen that being rich isn't a character flaw, she finds out that money is a much bigger part of their relationship than she'd ever realized. And that Xander's not the only one she should've been worried about."
First thing first. I respect Kasie West so much for writing books that aren't even in the same genre. Not many authors do, but when the ones who do don't really end up writing the most amazing books ever. I'm not bashing on anyone and I'm not saying that there books are bad. Their books are usually pretty good, but they aren't like "I MUST put this on my favorites self now!!!" No-they are just good, but Kasie West just rocked it.
Xander opens the compartment above my knees and takes out a pair of leather gloves. As he pulls them on I can't help but laugh.Xander, Alex, Alexander? WHICH IS IT?!?!? Can I just say that I love you? I hope that isn't scary and all since I just met you yesterday, but I do. I really love you. You are perfect in my eyes. You're rich, but still kind. You look nice, without flaunting your money. My favorite thing...you are just so darn adorable! In the end...
"You have driving gloves."
"And it's funny."
"Funny adorable?"
I shake my head. "If you say so."
...yes Xander, I will have your babies.
Honestly Xander's character is one that you end up falling in love with. No matter how hard you try not to or even if you fall in love with Mason, you still find a part of liking Xander. You might not want Caymen to be with him but you still like him. Don't ask me how that works but it does.
Caymen! Let's talk about Caymen! .......I WANT TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND!!! I absolutely love Caymen as a character, she would be better if she was real but she's not. I loved every bit of her sarcasm. I can relate, I can be very sarcastic at times but of course some people can't tell. Her sarcasm isn't the roll-your-eyes-I-don't-care sarcasm. It's the it's-my-way-of-being-funny sarcasm. That was probably my favorite thing about her personality, but I also loved her devotion. She is devoted to her mom and her mom's doll shop. She gives up her time to hang with her friends to help her mom in a porcelain doll shop. I honestly don't know many people who would do that, I don't think even I would do that (sadly...).
I must say I am jealous of Caymen about one thing...she get's to spend time with Xander while I can only read about him. I know I'm hung up on him but that boy is my obsession now...
My all time favorite thing about this book, besides Xander, would have to be the setting. Porcelain doll shop? Brilliant, utterly brilliant! Kasie West definitely thought of everything when it came to this book. She had every detail perfect-down to the bone perfect.
Kasie West...
You are officially part of my favorite author list. I can name on one hand how many favorite authors I have. I will officially be owning and reading all your work. Thank you so much for writing such an awesome book.
This book was extraordinary, amazing, beautiful and so much more! I definitely recommend this to everyone!!
5 out of 5 stars!!

AC07 - Synergy of Fabric and Energy conservation in older historic propertiesWritten by: CIC Start Online
"Synergy of Fabric and Energy conservation in older historic properties" by Edinburgh Napier University and the Morrison Partnership
It is vital that older properties and current stock buildings in Scotland are analysed and refurbished adequately to increase its thermal response, increase thermal comfort, reduce fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions. By doing so the tough targets imposed by the Scottish and UK governments can be partially met and while doing so increase the life line of our existing stock of buildings.
The Academic consultancy conducted in collaboration with The Morison Partnership, architects and CDM Co-ordinators, has taken a 19th Century two storey mansion house in Alyth, Blairgowrie as a case study in which fabric interventions and energy efficient alternatives were tested, all of which were taken into consideration in later architectural solutions and specifications.
The work included the creation of a dynamic thermal simulation model of the two storey house in its current form which latterly, per the architect's original specifications and some in house alternatives, was enhanced and evaluated to create an expected energy outline and cost savings. The objective was to create a series of alternatives that would potentially reduce the thermal transmittance of the elements and hence reduce the energy demand of the buildings water & space heating technology.
The simulation permitted such study to test various alternatives related to; wall, roof void, and floor insulation types and quantities coupled with alternatives in window type and performance. With these solutions and alternatives it was possible to reduce the air infiltration of the building making it air tight without compromising on indoor air quality or creating moisture irregularities in the original fabric.
The results of the fabric intervention indicated expected energy consumption patterns (in accordance to actual energy bills and usage) which were then implemented to create small renewable energy alternatives by adequately sizing the systems and therefore providing a more realistic approach to new technology for sourcing green energy.
The conclusions derived from this study have been vital to appropriately specifying materials and procedures in the refurbishment of the house which will in the long run be beneficial to the owners, by paying less energy and paying back their investment, and also to the environment by reducing the ecological footprint of the property and its users.
Key words: pre-1919 building, refurbishment, traditional buildings, dynamic simulation

Location: Savannah Bay, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands
With the crew assembled we cast off dock lines just before noon. Ocean Star motored to windward up the Drake Channel with her new shipmates taking turns at the helm. Lunch was served underway. At 15:30 we dropped anchor in the beautiful Savannah Bay and enjoyed a saltwater shower and swim. We dined on Tortellini and salad. After dinner the crew was introduced to the intricacies of the vessel and continued their scubadiving homework.

The Gist
Testers again put the 2019 K2 Pinnacle Pro in the group of best-skiing freeride boots for its ability to drive a big, fat ski at speed and for its lightweight Pebax construction. Is it a lightweight All-Mountain boot with a hike mode or a Backcountry boot that skis like an alpine ride? Go either way, testers say—it does it well in both realms.
The Fit
Testers say this year's revised PrecisionFit Tour Light liner has nicely opened up some room in the toebox and forefoot, and while it improved the previously tight fit on the navicular somewhat, that area remains more snug than expected for testers. Testers with large calf muscles liked the amount of available space (with the spoiler in) and said that this is a great option for that cyclist-calf guy looking for a comfortable freeride boot. Similar to last year, testers again found the heel pocket to be quite snug.
The Pebax lower shell and cuff construction makes for a lightweight ride and a snappy one. The resilience of Pebax created a lot of rebound energy and quick returns to center, testers said—sometimes to a fault, with a couple testers mentioning they had to work to keep a bridle on the horsepower. Lateral moves were solid and strong, they agreed, claiming that the Pinnacle Pro generated progenitor-Pinnacle-level power to the edge at a fraction of the weight. This fact, combined with the Syncro Interlock's long-travel touring range of motion makes the Pro the go-to for good skiers who are serious about going up, too.
Cool Features
Testers say it's nice to find a functional upper cuff adjustment on a backcountry boot (often lacking) and they said that the new liner's articulated area seemed to improve the quality of movement when the cuff was released. As always, testers dig the ease of the Syncro Interlock's release toggle. The Pinnacle Pro (like the other Pinnacles) is tech binding compatible and rockered Vibram soles are available as an extra.
"Good R.O.M. for hiking and the foot is well held for the most part--smooth and comfy. Good easy hike mode latch." -- Jackson Hogen
"Snugger than I expected—has a firm grip on the midfoot and heel. Stance is naturally neutral and comfortable for all day performance and is purposeful in direction change. Solidly predictable—as reliable as a John Deere tractor. Smooth and consistent with plenty of strength. Burly hike mode." -- Bob Gleason
"I'd have to say pretty darn contoured—a curvy firm fit that feels close to the shell. A little open in the 4 foot area but grips my ankle and lower leg really well. Gives you an anchored, secure feel from the foot--a good base to work from. More than enough in the quickness department--solid boot for a wide array of uses." -- Marc Stewart
"Good home base starting point for my skiing and body shape. Solid edge transfer power and finesse-- Pretty darned good for a releasable cuff design." -- Jim Schaffner
"A tight 100. Would definitely need a heat mold on this guy." -- Jim Schaffner
"Could have used a little more aft support. Kind of felt the boot give way toward the end of the turn at times but not to a very large extent, just something subtle I noticed." -- Marc Stewart

After releasing their debut, self-titled disc, their follow-up "The Journey" (both on Virginia-based Doobie Shea Records) was an all-gospel release. "No Other Way" mixes the spiritual with the hard-chargin', straight-ahead 'grass, but Gulley again speaks for all five in saying that their spiritual side is an integral part of who they are.
"I was raised up in the Missionary Baptist Church my granddad built in the '40s in the mountains of east Tennessee where I'm from," he says. "I'm from Cumberland Gap. That goes back to my faith. I've been a Christian all of my life, basically, and raised up in church. Gospel music and spiritual music kind of run into one another, in the way that I approach it, and the way Barry (Abernathy) approaches it because we were raised up in similar backgrounds."
"By that, I mean that if it hits me in the heart, and it hits me the way it's supposed to, of course, that's a spiritual connection, and to me, gospel music, it ministers to people as well in the lyrics. But to me, the words and the feeling have to both be there, if that makes sense. The combination of the two makes good gospel music to me, because I have to feel something, both musically and spiritually, and I think we do, as a band."
Though grateful for the opportunities to work with Tim Austin and his Doobie Shea family, when Ricky Skaggs approached the band about recording on his Skaggs Family label, Gulley says it was "the best possible situation for us...for us, he was absolutely the best in the studio as a producer. I've known Ricky for about 20 years, casually, and he talked to me a couple of times about maybe coming and working for him in different configurations, when he played country and then again in bluegrass. He's been a big, big hero of mine for many years, musically, but I wasn't awestruck by Ricky because he's a friend, and when we were in the studio it was not a situation of 'you're gonna do this, because I've sold millions of records and I know more than you do', that kind of finger-pointing. It was, 'I like it, what do you all think?'...'How do you want to do this?' He was real accommodating in the studio, and he was there through every minute of the recording, and he devoted his time and his energy, and his mind, and his great set of ears to the record. He's done everything he said he would and more when Barry and I signed the contract for the band with the label."
"No Other Way" features strong connections to another of the "A" bands to surface in recent years, Blue Highway. The two opening cuts, Shawn Lane's "Mountain Man" and Tim Stafford's "Ramblin' Heart" reflect the enormous respect they have for a band they regard as peers, colleagues and most importantly, friends. Topping it off, Blue Highway dobro wizard Rob Ickes sits in on three tracks. Gulley is enthusiastic and emphatic in praise of their collective talents.
"We love their writing. When they send us a song, it always ends up being 'us', rather than 'Blue Highway', because that's the way we arrange, according to our personnel. Their songwriting, to me, is second to none...they can write in an older vein, they can look past their youth and write really old-sounding songs, and we look for things like that. But we're always looking for a good lyric, and something we can work with as a band, and they've been great to us."
Not surprisingly, Gulley is thrilled with the wave of interest in bluegrass and traditional country music in the wake of "O Brother," and looks forward to a new era for the music.
"I think one thing great that's happened for bluegrass is that they haven't had to sell out to get the publicity because people are looking for pure music, in my idea and in my mind because country radio is just absolutely not country anymore to me. This is from a guy who grew up playing just as much Haggard and Jones as Monroe and Stanley. So, my big deal is to keep capitalizing on the fact that it is pure music and that we can carry on from this point on as we've done and not really have to change for anybody, but look maybe on a wider scope and say we do have a bigger slice of the pie now, and we've got a little more leverage with radio and television and media and some of the markets that we've never been in."
While such sentiments might brand Steve Gulley, like his Mountain Heart bandmates, as being by nature the optimistic sort prone to donning rose-colored eyewear, he cites plenty of evidence to back up what he says.
"Friends of mine who own music stores and give lessons and that kind of thing say you wouldn't believe the numbers of doctors, lawyers and professional people...who are coming in buying mandolins, banjos, fiddles and Martins and trying to learn to play. I think that's great for the music, and I think that that will carry on because I don't think it's a flash in the pan. I really don't because I've just seen the overwhelming success at the venues we've played. I think the future's bright, and everybody just needs to approach it as being the purest of pure music and always be mindful of that and try to take it to the masses."

An ocean of emotions
IS it possible not to understand a word of a song and yet be moved to tears by it? In Dirtsong, the Black Arm Band perform songs in old Australian Aboriginal languages that are at risk of going extinct. Yet the soaring beauty of the music and the powerhouse vocals of its singers are enough to engulf any sensitive listener in an ocean of emotions.
The band was formed in 2006 in response to then-Prime Minister of Australia John Howard's dismissal of the "black armband view of history", which saw him essentially denying the cultural dispossession of the First Nations in Australia since the arrival of the Europeans. These views make light of the atrocities carried out against the Aboriginal and Torres Strait people for centuries.
Yet, instead of voicing their anger, these musicians have countered Mr Howard with music so authentic, celebratory, personal and moving, it becomes a rallying cry of community and togetherness rather than indignation at forces beyond their reach.
Made up of Australian musicians of white, Aboriginal and Torres Strait descent playing both modern and traditional instruments, the band alternates uplifting songs of hope with plaintive cries of loss.
Emma Donovan employs her deep vocals to stunning effect when she sings Yarian Mi Tji (What's My Name), a song that searches for answers to questions of identity and home. Mindy Kwanten bores deep into your soul with her rendition of Dirtsong, which posits that all living beings are connected to each other. Deline Briscoe gets under one's skin with Big Law, a spiritual song inspired by the famous Daintree rainforest.
Between these extremes, the band tries to widen the palette of moods, as when drummer Greg Sheehan provides comic relief by playing on a makeshift drum set made of vehicle parts and other bits and bobs, or when singers Fred Leone and Yirrmal Marika mimic animal behaviour as they dance to the upbeat numbers.
The entire performance is bookended by Leone and Marika digging their hands into a mound of dirt piled at the front of the stage, a ritual to pay respect to the land.
