Author: Philip F. Gura
The Martin is considered the finest acoustic guitar in the world, a distinction it has held for more that 160 years. Martin guitars have been played by performers Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills, Judy Collins, and Johnny Cash, as well as hundreds of thousands of other professional and amateur musicians. In C.F. Martin and His Guitars, 1796-1873, Philip Gura chronicles the career of Christian Frederick Martin from his humble start as an importer and repairman of musical instruments in New York City in the 1830s through his move to Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and the founding of C.F. Martin & Company. Gura is the first historian to thoroughly study the Martin company records dating back to the 1830s: Letters, account books, inventories, and other documents. Using this rich archive, Gura establishes how a German immigrant from Saxony's guild tradition became the finest American guitar maker of his time and created a uniquely American business that successfully eclipsed its competition.
As Gura shows, Martin's success was based on his successful navigation of the rapid economic expansion and industrialization of his time. The many sketches and hundreds of photographs illustrate how Martin adapted his artisanal craft to modern industrial methods, maintaining quality while meeting increased demand for instruments. Gura traces the network of suppliers who provided Martin with his raw materials and explores the advertising and other methods Martin employed to build a market for his goods. After Martin's death in 1873, the company continued to grow. It thrives today under the leadership of a sixth-generation Martin, producing instruments that are still the most sought after and collectable in the world. Includes an 80-page color section!

"Philip Gura's research about the life and times of my great-great-great-grandfather Christian Frederick Martin Sr. provides an incredibly valuable addition to the understanding of our company and family archives. No one before has taken the time to unravel his amazing story with such fastidious detail. Cheers to Mr. Gura for his valiant efforts." – C.F. Martin IV Chairman and CEO, C. F. Martin & Co.
"Until now C.F. Martin has been a legendary figure about whom we knew little. Philip Gura's book gives all who love Martin guitars what they never have had, a detailed portrait of the founder of the world's most famous guitar company. C.F. Martin and His Guitars is a wonderful book for anyone interested in the guitar and its history." – Stephen Stills
C.F. Martin and His Guitars is a fascinating and high resolution snapshot of C.F. Martin the man and C.F. Martin the company. In a much greater sense, the book capturers the flavor and essence of American life in the mid-1800's – a time of tremendous integrity and change. For Martin guitar aficionados as well as students of American culture, this book is a vital link. – Dick Boak, Artist Relations and Limited Editions, C.F. Martin & Co.

Welcome to the second book, Acoustic Blues Guitar, Intermediate level. For those of you unfamiliar with my previous book, Introduction to Acoustic Blues, (What else?), we will be trying to play finger-style acoustic blues the old-fashioned way. The rules are as stated:
1. have fun
2. play loose
3. play with feeling
4. don't worry about mistakes
Sound easy enough? Remember, this is a book about Lightnin' Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Blind Blake and other funky guys. So just have fun, and go with the flow. We will cover blues in five different keys and positions, A, C, D, E, and G – these are the keys I primarily use, and they are the best for acoustic blues. We will also incorporate slide or bottleneck playing in both open and standard tunings. All songs will be played primarily finger-style with a monotone bass used for most of the straight blues and an alternating bass used for the ragtime blues. On the 70-minute cassette tape that accompanies this book, I play each example and every song. Most of the songs are played at slow speed and at regular tempo, and nearly all of the tunes will have a detailed explanation about the music and how to best play it. This book is one step harder than my previous book and should prove to be a good challenge for you. Blues guitar is different than other styles of guitar in that there is more feel involved than technique. It is very important that you use the tablature only as a guide to your ears. The accompanying tape will be your most valuable tool. All the nuances of the blues cannot be written down properly; listening is the only way to really absorb all the material. My suggestion is to listen to the tape before you try any of the songs. Hear exactly what you're supposed to do, then read the music to help you create the sound desired. In my workshops, classes, and private lessons, I urge my students to learn everything by ear. I rarely use written music, but under these circumstances the written notation should be used, but not relied upon exclusively. Memorize each song, then put the written material away. Try to let your own personal feelings come through in your playing. Make each song an individual experience. Remember, this isn't classical music, so play it loose. Don't worry about mistakes, and above all.
Fingerpicks Strings Capo's
Before we close, there are a few more things I would like to discuss. The first is fingerpicks.
I use them, but I'm not sure I would recommend them to all my students. They are very
awkward and hard to get used to. If you want to try them anyway, I would recommend a Herco
thumbpick and Dunlop fingerpicks. The picks will make your guitar sound louder, enable you to
play faster, and make the brush technique easier. But again, they are difficult to use. If you are
having trouble, try turning the picks gently towards your thumb so they are slightly off center.
This will help with the angle of attack and eliminate some pick noise.
My favorite strings are made by John Pearse. If these aren't available, Martin guitar strings
are excellent. I use medium gauge or on occasion, medium lights. As far as a capo, there is only
one that works for me, and it is made by Schubb. It is easy to get on and off the guitar neck and it
doesn't pull the strings out of tune.
The guitars I play vary, but my favorites are a 1936 Martin 000-18, a Santa Cruz OM
model, and a new National style "0" resonator guitar. All are great instruments, and I highly recommend them. Both the Santa Cruz and the National are heard on the cassette tape.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the book and didn't become too frustrated with
my methods. Have patience, and it will all come together. If you find this book
too difficult, try to check out Blues Guitar, An Introduction to Acoustic Blues also
from Centerstream Publications.
Remember to listen to the tape continuously and don't rely only on the
music. This will help you get the proper feel for the music. (I can't stress this
enough!) It is also very important to listen to as much other recorded blues as
possible. The musicians I think you should listen to include John Lee Hooker,
Johnny Shines, Robert Johnson, Brownie McGhee, John Hammond, Taj Mahal,
Rev. Gary Davis, Snooks Eaglin, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Mississippi John Hurt to
mention a few.
I personally have five albums out with my partner, Tom Ball, the newest
entitled, "Filthy Rich" (FF 619). Tom is an excellent harmonica
player/vocalist/guitarist, and we cover a wide variety of blues styles on these
recordings. They are available from your better record stores or from Flying Fish
Records, Chicago, IL, or from myself:
Kenny Sultan, Santa Barbara,
Also, feel free to write me if you have any questions about this book. This
is the second in a series of blues guitar books I am doing for Ron Middlebrook at
Centerstream Publications, so keep an eye out for the next Blues Guitar book.
Until then, good luck with your playing, stay loose.

What on Earth would make someone want to build an electric guitar from scratch? Can't you just buy one cheaper? What happens if it doesn't tum out? These questions and many many, more will be asked of you as you plow along through the excitement and anxity of building your first guitar. It does help if you're a little bit different and it's very true that it would be both faster and cheaper to just go buy one off the rack. But it wouldn't be the same one would it? Its fairly safe to assume that spending some time on this project will not be a problem for you. If you need an axe for a gig this weekend you're in the wrong place. You're going to have an investment of approximately $500 in your instrument and there are lots of $500 guitars out there, but how many will have the exact Seymour Duncan or EMG pickups and cusm tom deigned switching you want, the Schaller hard- ware and custom finish; yours will. Your guitar will also have that intangible, indescribable feeling that comes from creating something out of, well I can't say nothing, but you get the picture. Friends and relatives will say you're nuts and that you're wasting your time and money and then they'll want you to build them one too. I started building guitars almost by accident. I wanted a Fender Telecaster so badly, but I just couldn't come up with the money to buy one. I was hanging around in my favorite guitar store one day just being a nuisance when a guy came in with a box of guitar parts. He had a neck, a plywood Tele style body, and two of almost everything else; two pickguards, sets of pickups, bridges, etc. He had taken an el cheapo copy guitar and tried to upgrade it with new parts but nothing had fit where it was supposed to go and he was trying to trade the whole mess in on a new guitar. When the store told him they wouldn't take any of it in trade he asked them where the dumpster was. I politely showed him to the hatchback of my little station wagon and I had my Tele. All I had to do was re-assemble it and make it work. I did, and it did, and I was hooked. A short time later I was reading an article in Guitar Player on hot-rodding guitars and "kit" guitars.
First connect each pickup directly to the jack. Use temporary connections like alligator clips for this. They'll hum a bit for lack of shielding but will tell you if the parts are working right. Remember this technique is for problems with pickups and switches not working, and not for chasing down hum. After you've determined that each pickup works, you can connect them to the next item in the chain. This could be a volume pot, mini toggle switch or the main pickup selector depending on your design. Test the circuit after each part is added to the chain and sooner or later you will run into the problem again, only now you know exactly where it is and you can deal with it specifically. The wiring is complete and I'm tightening in the Electrosocket jack plate. "good solder joint/ bad solder joint" drawings. These can short out against other components or against the shield and cause the switch not to work as expected. in connecting your hot leads. Check your plan and your connections care- full y. Look for stray strands of wire that may not have gone through the solder terminal cleanly as was shown in the I like to plug the guitar in and give it a test before I secure the output jack and the rear cover plate. I have found, on occasion, that the guitar works fine in the test but not after the remaining parts are fastened in place. This can be the result of a wire or component shorting against the shielded cover of the electronics compartment. Sometimes the output jack won't fit well in the access hole when the plug is inserted. Most times this can be corrected by rotating the jack in the hole but I have had to take a 1/2 round file in there and open up the hole to get a good fit. This can be an extremely time consuming process and is not one to undertake when you're in a hurry or a bad mood. If you get frustrated with trying to solve a particular problem, take a break. Let it sit for awhile and come back when you are rested and in a better frame of mind. Remember, this guitar has taken a long time to get to this point and you didn't get here by rushing through all the previous steps. Take your time, be thorough and methodical and you'll find the guilty part(y). Using a mini chisel to clear away excess lacquer from the control cover "lip". There are times when all these good ideas fail and things still just don't work right. This can be a frus- trating time and lots of folks will simply take every- thing apart and try re-wiring it from scratch. Some- times this works, but more often you fall into the same rut and make the same mistake you did originally. My approach in these cases is to re-wire just as you did the drawing; from the pickup on down the line. Well now you have it wired tested and ready to rock. You can go ahead and put the rear cavity cover in place (if you've used one) and screw it down. From here we move on to the fi- nal set up adjust- ments. Wired, tested and ready for the final set up.

GOSPEL GUITAR, VOLUME 1. FINGERPICKING AND TRAVIS STYLE. La musica Gospel è la musica dei canti religiosi dei neri d'America. Negli anni venti, prima della grande depressione che colpì gli Stati Uniti nel 1929, quando ai neri fu concesso di avere le proprie chiese, la canzone gospel si definì maggiormente, ed iniziò a diffondersi anche attraverso i dischi. In questo libro troverete alcuni tra i titoli più famosi di musica Gospel (Vangelo). Numerosi artisti della scena americana degli anni '50, iniziarono cantando in chiesa le canzoni sacre di questo libro. Ogni titolo è arrangiato in tre modi: per chitarra e canto, per chitarra fingerstyle e in Merle Travis style. Casualmente nel 1956 Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis e Johnny Cash si trovarono nello studio di registrazione nello stesso periodo, e durante gli intervalli cantarono insieme, divertendosi con alcune canzoni del repertorio Gospel. Siamo certi che questo libro vi aiuterà ad organizzare una vostra divertente Gospel "jam session" improvvisando con queste semplici e chiare melodie. Amazing grace -angel band -can the circle be unbroken -give me that old time religion -in the sweet bye and bye -just a closer walk with thee -life is like a mountain railroad -old gospel ship -rock of ages -swing low, sweet chariot -this train -walking in Jerusalem just like John -wayfaring stranger -when the saints go marching in. TAB.
SPEED METAL. Raccolta di Brani di Paganini, R. Kruetzer, Pachelbel con il celebre "Canon in re", con una dimostrazione di tecnica "tapping". Con un estratto dalla famosa "Toccata e fuga in Re minore" di J. S Bach; che potrete vedere anche nel video di Wolf Marshall, styles and secrets Yngwie Malmsteen. E' sorprendente come la tecnica del tapping nella chitarra elettrica riesce ad emulare il suono originale dell'organo. Contiene: Jesu, joy of man's desiring (J.S. Bach) -partita number 1 (J.S. Bach) -Toccata number 4 -etude (R. Kruetzer) -capriccio numero 24, e 11 variazioni (Paganini) -le quattro stagioni (Vivaldi) -il volo del calabrone (N.Rimsky-Korsakoff) -Canon in re (Pachelbel) -Toccata (J.S. Bach) -Fugue (J.S. Bach).

Playing in Open Tunings with and without a slide will add many new dimensions to your musical path. I hope the areas we have explored in this book will open new doors in your playing and understanding of music and the guitar. I would also like to emphasize my belief that everything I teach in this book simply reflects the way I approach the guitar and should not be taken as the right or wrong way to do things. I believe that aside from doing anything that causes you physical damage, there is no right or wrong way to play music. Do what you like and what works for you. I also encourage any music student to study with as many teachers as possible and learn what you can from every musical encounter you have. Thank you for studying with me and I hope to see you down the road! Doug Cox

This beautiful background is made using glossy white paper, a folded baby wipe, and 3 colors of Stampin' Up! In Refills.
Added in stamped images, ribbon, and a sentiment tag. Doesn't it make a great card. I'm so pleased with the results. This is my first time using this technique. It was easy to do.
Mini Tutorial:
1. Score your card base at 5 1/2". Fold with bone folder and set aside.
2. Cut a piece of glossy white paper (item #102599) 3 3/4" x 5"
3. Fold the baby wipe a couple of times, put drops of ink on the folded edge. I used 3 colors and put them in sequence from left to right (Bashful Blue- item #105221; Pretty in Pink - item #102295; and Certainly Celery - item #105230). Wipe across the paper. You may need to move down and wipe again to cover the complete piece of paper. Allow to dry.
(NOTE: You will get ink on your fingers. I always work with plastic and paper towels under my glossy paper too just in case of spills, leaks, or excess moisture).
Basic Black, Classic Ink .. item #101179 was used for the stamped things in the following steps:
4. I used 2 step stamping for the tree/ground and the wolf. The stamp set I used is called Nature Silhouettes, item #111542. Two Step Stamping Technique Tutorial can be seen HERE. Stamp the tree image first, then the wolf.
5. Attach the 5 1/2" piece of Old Olive 5/8" Satin Ribbon, item #117292.
(Use Sticky Strip, item #104294).
6. Stamp the sentiment on the piece of Dusty Durango Card Stock (1 1/4" x 3"), item #115321. Use the Tag Corner Paper Punch, item #107215 on all 4 corners. Put 4 dimensionals, item #104430 on the tag and center on the ribbon.
7. Using Sticky Strip, item #104294 attach your background piece to your card base.
Card is now complete.
The baby wipe technique is a great way to create sunsets, sunrises, and beautiful color combinations. I hope you will try this technique to see what you can create.

#SuzyNYFW: At Calvin Klein, Raf Simons Puts America First
The Belgian designer reveals his first vision of men's and women's clothes for the iconic U.S. house
16 Февраля 2017
This is not America,' announced David Bowie on the soundtrack. But oh, yes – it was! Almost every piece of the Calvin Klein collection, reconfigured and relaunched by Raf Simons, was an ode to the country where the Belgian designer now lives.
One of those dangling decorations included a bra – which I deciphered as a reference to the worldwide success of Calvin Klein underwear and to the infamous claim by a young Brooke Shields in 1980: 'You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.' The actress sat front row, proving that beauty is eternal, while other celebrities were generous in their praise for this autumn/winter 2017 show that effectively kicked off the new international season.
'Brilliant,' said Gwyneth Paltrow, wearing a classic tailored camel coat that was very Calvin – and very different from the experimental fabrics produced by designer Francisco Costa, who took over from Calvin Klein in 2003.
Julianne Moore said of Raf's show, 'I loved it – I nearly cried. As a show, it was very commercial. But it is hard to make clothes mean something – and I think he did.'
This was a fine and interesting show that gave promise of much more. But Simons has to decide whether he wants to follow his skill as a masculine tailor, which he showed both with male and female examples in the show. This first attempt seemed – as it should have done – to be an homage to Calvin Klein in the years his style was defined as 'Calvin Clean,' with streamlined camel coats and a sense of a rangy, uptown American woman.
Backstage, I asked about the focus on America, while Raf was introducing his team, including creative director, and formerly long-time assistant, Pieter Mulier, who took a joint bow with the designer at the end of the show.
'I've always been thinking of America,' Raf said. 'Now is the moment to focus on it. Energy and youth! You have to think about youth now, they are the future.'
Colour was one of those prongs of youthfulness. Bright colour-blocking appeared from the deep blue shirt shown with ruby red trousers at the start, to shades of yellow, orange and of purple – say in the arms of knitted sleeves, while the front was of barely veiled transparency. Shoes with see-through fronts and wings at the back of the ankle seemed more convincing.
The fact that the show took place in the garment district headquarters of Calvin Klein shows the commitment of the vast company to its high fashion, the seed bed of its identity. While in the recent past, the shows had seemed almost irrelevant to the progress of image and sales. Now Raf and Pieter Mulier hold a strategic position to direct all the CK products including the high-earning fragrance and underwear. This would seem an impossible task to achieve in the first six months, but it has the promise of a wide commercial platform.
In this collection, the Raf Simons menswear – always his strength – looked good and so did the streamlined tailoring for women, such as a trouser suit in Prince of Wales check with a modern shaping and a purposeful attitude. This concept of a female closet may not be new. But in this era of female force in America, when a disappointed community of women has given an aggressive response to their new President, the idea of the tailored suit, so beloved by Hillary Clinton, is not a foolish offering.
Yet the Raf Simons period, like that of President Trump, is just beginning in America. And after this reasonably successful start, time will tell whether this designer 'gets' the dis-United States and can re-create a fashion empire for Calvin Klein.

Champions League Daily Fantasy Helper: Wednesday 4/17/19
The quarterfinals of the Champions League, Europe's biggest soccer competition, will conclude this week. FanDuel is offering contests featuring the two Wednesday matches, both of which begin at 3:00 p.m. EST.
|Wednesday, April 17th
|Tottenham at Manchester City
|Liverpool at Porto
Manchester City and Liverpool are once again favorites, per FanDuel Sportsbook. Liverpool are an overwhelming favorite to move onto the semifinals, boasting nearly 98% implied odds to advance. Liverpool won the first leg at home, 2-0. Manchester City's implied percentage to advance is just over 60%, which is likely aided by the latest injury to Tottenham's Harry Kane. Erik Lamela, Dele Alli, and Harry Winks are also unlikely to feature. Tottenham did win the first leg, 1-0.
Each team on the slate won their match over the weekend in domestic league play. Manchester City are the only team of the four that failed to register a clean sheet.
Let's look at some players to target across the pitch at different price points on this slate.
Sergio Agüero ($12,000) -- Agüero is the most expensive player on the slate, and he also leads eligible players in FanDuel points per match. However, his ownership may be lowered based on recent form and concerns over a possible injury. Manager Pep Guardiola stated that Agüero is not injured, though, so he should be leading the line for City as they look to overcome the small deficit. Agüero has scored 36 total goals in the Champions League in his career, with all but five coming with City. He comes through on the big stage time and again. If he ends up sitting, City still have enough firepower to score, and Gabriel Jesus ($11,500) would be a like-for-like replacement if he took Agüero's place. However, potentially getting Agüero at a lower-than-usual ownership with City's Champions League life on the line is incredibly appealing. Be sure to check the lineup when it is posted approximately an hour before kickoff.
Moussa Marega ($9,500) -- Marega was Porto's most dangerous player last week against Liverpool, forcing two good saves by Alisson ($6,000). He took five total shots, with three being on target. He finished the match with 15 FanDuel points and has averaged 25.3 points in this season's Champions League. Marega had a goal and an assist in Porto's 3-0 win over Portimonense this past weekend. He finished that match with the most shots on the team and added a key pass. He now has eight goals in the domestic league in 23 appearances, but he's tallied six goals in eight Champions League matches. Marega clearly loves the big stage and should be a vital figure for a Porto side that needs to score at least two goals.
Lucas Moura ($8,000) -- If Tottenham want to advance, someone must step up for Kane. This past weekend it was Moura. He was placed up front in an attacking front two and scored a hat trick against Huddersfield. He managed four shots, which was only third-best on the team, but had a stellar 75% conversion rate. Moura is expected to be lined up in a similar role against City, although it will be very hard to duplicate his feat from the weekend. There is clearly risk in playing Moura with City favored, but Tottenham managed more shots with less possession in the first leg. Kane was subbed off in the 58th minute, and Tottenham scored 20 minutes later, so there is reason to believe that Spurs can get a goal in Manchester.
Mohamed Salah ($9,500) -- The midfield choices on this slate seem endless. Rounding into form and fresh off an otherworldly strike against Chelsea this past weekend, Salah must be included. Understandably, there was talk of a slump with Salah, but he is capable of moments of magic out of nowhere. He now has two goals in the last three matches across all competitions. He averages close to four shots per match in the Champions League, more than he does in the Premier League. He managed seven shots, four more than any other Liverpool player, last week against Porto. This all comes after sitting out the international break and getting extra rest. Clearly, Salah needed and benefited from the break.
Hector Herrera ($6,000) -- Players like Raheem Sterling ($11,000), Leroy Sane ($10,500), Son Heung-Min ($8,500), and Sadio Mane ($10,000) are all good options, but Herrera is a great value play for those needing cap relief. Porto's captain was suspended for the first leg of the tie but came back with a vengeance over the weekend. He scored a goal and was named man of the match in the 3-0 victory. in Liga NOS. Herrera was tied for the team lead in touches and completed 90.9% of his passes in the match. He has increased his FanDuel point total in each of his last three Champions League matches and has drawn at least two fouls in each of his last seven matches in the competition.
Virgil van Dijk ($6,000) -- Moving down the defender pricing a bit, Liverpool's center-back pops. He had six clearances in the first leg and was excellent with his passing. He also had three tackles and scored near his season-long average of 17.3 FanDuel points per match in the Champions League. He averages nearly five clearances per game in Europe, a number that he should easily reach with Porto pressing at home to make up the deficit. Remember, defenders get a clean-sheet bonus, and Liverpool have back-to-back shutouts after allowing a goal in five straight games.
Benjamin Mendy ($5,000) -- Mendy was back in the lineup for the full match this past weekend when City beat Crystal Palace, 3-1. He was second on the team in touches with 119 and completed a shade more than 94% of his passes. Mendy's one shot in the match was on target, and he also had two successful dribbles. Defensively, he completed six actions. Mendy, who has been hampered by knee problems for a large portion of the season, has played in one Champions League match this campaign and tallied 25 FanDuel points in it. He completed three key passes and had two shots in that match. Mendy appears fit and ready to be a key cog for City moving forward, but he's not a lock to be in the lineup. Again, make sure to see who is hitting the field on Wednesday for City before locking in Mendy.
Hugo Lloris ($5,000) -- Last week's pick, Alisson, came through with a clean-sheet victory, but this week, a clean sheet is not what the focus should be. This times it is about saves. As mentioned, City controlled possession last week, and Tottenham is without some of its best offensive weapons. City should see more of the ball, leading to more chances on goal. Despite all the injuries, Tottenham still have much of their defense intact. Lloris can remain confident with his defense supporting his efforts, and he's capable of building off of his performance from last week. He saved an early penalty to help secure his third straight clean sheet in Champions League play. Lloris averages the most FanDuel points of any expected starting keeper on the slate.

Social media, feelings, snowflakes and mass shootings
Join us as we discuss snowflakes and mass shootings at length on The Risk Control Show
I don't know whether to love or hate social media? One thing is for sure, I am certainly not in the middle on the issue. On the personal side, I have never really dove into social media because the risk it presents isn't worth the reward. On the business side of things, I am pulled into using social media on daily basis. I use risk management techniques to ensure that our social media accounts remain above board – from a dedicate person to manage the accounts, to review by our software, to legal team reviews. All in all, a serious endeavor.
As more and more people hop in the social media pool the waters become murky and choppy. Combining this with the ever growing pull toward entitlement, feelings, intersectional politics, and the softening of the American people, the pool has turned into a festering shark tank. Companies have stopped being companies with their moves to accommodate every feeling, every entitlement and it is spelling PROBLEM with all capital letters.
How it started
The move to entitlement started with the work-from-home movement which has ended poorly. Companies like IBM pulled back their work-from-home options because, well frankly, nothing gets done at home. After the work-from-home movement, we have seen companies good full-tilt on feelings, from Uber's Heaven Room, to lactation rooms, to changing the name of the War Room to Peace Room and the like. Then came big tech's, high-tech methods for connecting people – think Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the like. Thanks guys! You opened the door to expressing feelings exactly when people need to take a deep breath and think about things. All of this spells trouble for the employee who can't seem to control their insatiable need to blurt out what ever comes to mind at the moment. And this isn't relegated to the little front line people. Even the big C-suite folks have taken a seat on the feelings train.
How it ends
Most good risk managers know that the National Labor Relations Board protects concerted activities meaning that employees are free to discuss workplace issues publicly, privately with whomever they want. However, there are always loopholes to these things and we are seeing the ramifications of the loopholes. Things that were said years ago are being held against individuals (wisely or unwisely) and it is destroying lives and businesses. The need to focus on feelings and wrap everyone in bubble wrap along with the demise of the American family structure has created a mental weak employee pool which has manifested itself in social media outbursts, less productivity and mass shootings. What we now call snowflakes and mass shootings.
Should we return
The question becomes, knowing what we do now, should we return to a time and place where we focused less on feelings and more on getting the work done? Should we even look at our employees social media accounts? Should we hold training on what work is? The answers just may spell better workplaces, fewer snowflakes and mass shootings and more productivity.

So you want me, huh? You want the ear-splitting silence? You want the shaking hands, the vacant stare?

Krugman on Wall Street's Congressional dividends
See his blog post. Wall Street is backing Republicans by far and they got what they paid for in the recent budget rider on rolling back the Dodd-Frank provision allowing them to gamble with our money again, and have us bail them out again. Some Republicans claim to be against this too but their votes tell the story. Same for the corporate Dems. This is why it is critical that Elizabeth Warren becomes our next President and Bernie Sanders our next VP.

Celebration In A Time Of Trouble
Contributed by Gregory Thomas on Oct 30, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: A Message that depicts our behavior during times of trouble...
Praise With Out Purpose
Celebrating in the Time of Trouble
• Nebuchadnezzar dies after a 43-year reign
• His son, Evil-Merodach (described in 2 Kings 25:27-30 and Jeremiah 52:31-34) rules for only two years when he is assassinated by his brother-in-law Neriglassar, because his rule was arbitrary and licentious
• Neriglassar (mentioned as Nergalsharezer in Jeremiah 39:3; 39:13) rules for four years until he dies a natural death
• His son, Laborosoarchod, only a child and of diminished mental capacity, rules for only nine months when he his beaten to death by a gang of conspirators
• The conspirators appoint Nabonidus, one of their gang, to be king. He rules until Cyrus the Persian conquers Babylon
• The scene of partying while a hostile army surrounds the city reminds us of the spirit of our age. Many today carry the idea that the best response to the seeming danger of the times is to forget about it and escape into the pursuit of pleasure.
• i. God does not condemn having a good time, but can He be glorified in it? Can God be invited to your party?
And the God in whose hand thy breath is - Under whose power, and at whose disposal, is thy life. While you have been celebrating the praises of idol gods, who can do you neither good nor evil, you have been showing special contempt for that great Being who keeps you in existence, and who has power to take away your life at any moment.
Still young he made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and when heated with wine sent for the sacred vessels his "father", or grandfather, Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from the temple in Jerusalem, and he and his princes drank out of them.
Jerusalem-"City of Peace"-"Possession of Peace"-"Foundation of Peace."- "House of God".
The Babylonian Empire is spoken of as a "head of gold" because of its great riches; and Babylon was called by Isaiah (Isa 14:4) the "golden city"
He was confident because of Babylon's impressive defenses and his enormous equipment.
The outer walls were 17 miles long
These walls were 22 feet thick and 90 feet high
The outer walls had guard towers another 100 feet high
The city gates were made of bronze
A system of inner and outer walls and moats made the city very secure
Golden Vessels – Had value to those who used them for there intended purpose, such as the priests, not pagans to mock God in their attempt to satisfy there flesh.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Effendi Records, Montreal's premier label for home-grown contemporary mainstream jazz. "Effendi", if you didn't know, is a word of Turkish origin designating a gentlemen of good standing. It also happens to be the title of a McCoy Tyner tune, which is the actual source of the label's name.
An as indie company focused on local bands and artists, Effendi has built a catalogue that now exceeds 150 titles, an impressive feat. Credit goes of course to its founder, Alain Bédard, a savvy musical entrepreneur who certainly knows the ropes. With its emphasis on homegrown talent, it has actually released few albums of foreign bands, but occasional guests do appear alongside local groups as invited soloists.
And the recordings keep on coming. Six new titles have hit the market in about as many months (see reviews next page). The latest, issued lst month, is by flutist François Richard.
For his part, Bédard is not just a producer who sits in a control booth. He stands in front of the mike as well. A bassist by training, Bédard is both a bandleader (his main vehicle being the Quartet Auguste) and a driving force behind the Jazz Lab, a co-op octet he first put together over 15 years ago.
Around that time, in 2001, he launched his own event, Jazz en Rafale, as an outlet for his roster. To support him in this venture, he created Jazz Services, a distinct entity with non-profit status. On the business front, his products are distributed internationally thanks to Naxos. Last but not least, he has succeeded admirably as a tour manager by sending his charges worldwide, with stopovers in Asia, Europe, the United States and Canada from coast to coast.
Formative years
"In the mid-1990s, the local scene was not well represented on disc," Bédard said in a recent interview. "You had Justin Time, but it had shifted its interests to the international scene. Then there were small labels like Amplitude, Lost Chart or DSM, who were all treading water. That's what led me to start the label, with much help from my partner Carole Therrien [a classically-trained vocalist who turned out two sides of her own on the label]".
Prior to that, Bédard was active as a musician in Quebec City, his home town. He remembers doing the very first gig in the late 1970s at the Clarendon Hotel, the city's long-standing jazz haunt before its temporary suspension of activities about decade ago. After spending several years of commuting to Montreal, he finally settled there in 1989. In the ensuing years, he went back to school, earning a first diploma as a sound engineer and a second in classical performance at the Université de Québec à Montréal (UQAM). Shortly thereafter, Bédard fractured his back in a fall, an incident that seriously compromised his performing career.
"The idea of the label came to me at that time," he recalls. "Were it not for the accident, I might never have thought of it. But it was tough sledding at first: we only put out our first three albums in 1999, a whole year after we recorded them."
Turning Points
Bédard recognizes three milestones in the label's history.
One is Yannick Rieu's debut release, Little Zab, which won the Félix for best jazz record that year. "It helped us in terms of local market exposure," Bédard says.
Another is the 2000 disc featuring Lee Konitz in France under the direction of fellow saxophonist François Théberge. "That one put us on the map internationally and opened some doors, too. The band toured Europe to much success and a second recording was done two years after. It was a great experience, not only for myself, but for Lee Konitz, too. I was very touched by how appreciative he was to us all."
Yet another signpost for him is the Jazz Lab. "I'm glad to have created this group. I intended it to be a platform for composition and arrangement."
While Bédard can rightfully stake his claim as the instigator of the Jazz Lab, there are reasons of a more personal nature that factor into the equation. At its inception, in 2002, the bassist had picked up his instrument again and wanted to involve himself in a more long-term project.
His wish has certainly been fulfilled. The group now has six releases to its credit, including one under saxophonist Alexandre Côté's name. At this writing, a new edition of the band is working on a project featuring compositions of its pianist, Félix Stüssi (see concert listing below).
Now in its 16th year, the Jazz Lab is one Effendi's flagship groups, sharing that honour with pianist François Bourassa's quartet. Over time it has continually renewed its personnel, the bassist being its only common thread. More than a studio project, this unit has toured repeatedly, its performances much acclaimed, its recordings selling well.
Of all his duties, Bédard has proven his mettle as a tour booker. Without boasting too much, he casually states: "I happened to count the number of tours I organized since the first one in 2001, and it ads up to 128. That's an average of seven per year. Not bad, I have to say."
Convincing presenters worldwide to hire bands from an underrated scene like ours is no piece of cake. This requires good networking. Bédard contends that JazzAhead, the international jazz trade show held annually in Bremen, Germany, has been a boon to him. He is grateful for the support of the Quebec government that allows him to manage a booth on its behalf.
Now in the offing is a new album by pianist Rafael Zaldivar, an Afro-Cuban project due out this Spring. On another front, Bédard wants to revive a project he first presented in concert a few years ago, the Orchestre de contrebasses. Jazz en Rafale, for its part, takes a sabbatical this year for administrative reasons. Having carried the event on his shoulders alone for the least two years, Bédard promises to be back in 2019, with a new team and executive board in tow.
In concert: Effendi Jazz Lab Orchestra Quintessence, Théâtre Outremont, February 8, 8 PM, www.effendirecords.com

Where Are the Words?
Finding just the right words has usually been a key aim when writing about dance. Which ones best capture the essence of a performance as well as my experience of it?
Things have perhaps shifted for me most interestingly post-Umeå and Springback. The goal of the latter project was to guarantee that every work presented during Spring Forward 2014 got reviewed, and by more than one person. As a working journalist this task plunged me into close collaborative contact with Sally Marie (British), Christel Molin (Swedish) and Chiara Organtini (Italian) – dance insiders, yes, but not professional wordsmiths. Did that matter? I think not. The stamp of individual personalities and aesthetic temperaments came through this trio's writing no matter what their respective degrees of security in English. That's what style's about, I guess. My job was to clarify, hone and honour each unique voice by sprinkling editorial magic dust upon their brief critical responses to the smorgasbord of performances we all consumed over one long, sunny Swedish weekend.
Bringing out the best in their texts yielded a real sense of satisfaction. Springback was, additionally, a valuable learning experience for me too. Stepping outside the ivory tower of my own opinion, I grappled happily with others' thoughts and feelings. Chiara's slant was, typically, bracingly poetical-philosophical and Christel's by contrast more direct and unadorned but just as honest. As for Sally, well, I already knew she was passion incarnate but this was a chance to assist in shaping her astute tumbling of impressions and associations.
I think part of what I gleaned from mentoring these smart, sensitive women is to try to be more creative as a writer, and perhaps take more risks by resisting my own formulae. Writing with juicy authority yet without passing yourself off as some final arbiter of taste is a tricky business. One way of accepting such a challenge is by not disengaging from the work I see by 'hiding' behind a false objectivity. Dance writing is, invariably, highly subjective. I'm fond of both Max Wyman's notion that 'All criticism is autobiography,' and Edwin Denby's acutely
perceptive statement that watching dance is about being able to get drunk on a performance and only talking about it rationally afterwards (which I've reduced to the handy motto 'Drink, then think'). And so although over time I may not remember every choreographer's name or country of origin, let alone the order in which I saw their work, after this review-driven Spring Forward I may well resist being as pinned down to the kind of critical, star-rated verdict that a more conventional system tends to demand I subscribe to. In particular it renders Springback a model that can easily be adapted to other times, places and groups of people.

Employ Agency Workers or Freelancers? Key Information Document – what you need to know ahead of 6th April 2020
Earlier this year the government released the Good Work Plan, a document detailing the key changes required throughout all industries to improve and protect workers on short-term contracts or a freelance arrangement. One key item in the plan was improving the ways in which workers understand their employment status, especially agency workers and those employed on a temporary basis. The plan has proposed that, come April 2020, all agency workers must now be issued, at the start of their contract, with a Key Information Document. Further information on what this document should include has now been released by the government. Here at Bishopsgate we have summarised the information from this document, with all you need to know below.
When do I need to start issuing Key Information Documents?
6th April 2020 is when all agency workers must be issued with a Key Information Document before agreeing employment terms.
Why do I need to issue a Key Information Document?
The government want to improve the transparency around temporary, agency and freelance work; the aim of the scheme is to ensure all workers, regardless of employment status, are aware of key information in relation to their engagement.
How should I present a Key Information Document?
The government guidance states that the document should:
- Be clearly labelled and include a brief explanation of its purpose
- Include contact details of the Employment Standards Agency and ACAS (but this is optional)
- Be straightforward and easy to understand
- Not exceed two sides of A4 in length
When do workers need to receive the document?
From 6th April 2020 all workers must receive this document before agreeing contractual terms. This document does not form part of a worker's contract, but simply states key information in relation to their employment.
If an intermediary or umbrella company are involved the Key Information Document must be issued to both the organisation (intermediary or umbrella company) and the individual worker.
How often must I issue a Key Information Document?
It is not necessary for organisations to re-issue Key Information Documents every time an agency worker begins a new assignment, providing there are no changes. However, if something has changed a new key Information Document must be issued.
What do I do about existing agency workers?
The government guidance states "Agency workers who are already signed up to an employment business, and have agreed terms with that employment business, will not need to receive a key facts page from that employment business after 6 April 2020. The regulation only applies to agency workers who sign up to an employment business after 6 April 2020."
Whose responsibility is it to issue the Key Information Document?
In all cases the responsibility of the Key Information Document sits with the employment business.
What information needs to be included?
The government guidance has detailed the information that must be included within the document. For more detailed information on the below please visit the guidance document.
- Name of worker
- Contract type
- Employment business
- Name of intermediary of umbrella company (if applicable)
- Who will employ the worker (only applicable if using and intermediary or umbrella company)
- Who will pay the worker
- Any connection between the employment business and intermediary/umbrella company (if applicable)
- Rate of pay for worker
- Rate of pay to intermediary or umbrella company (if applicable)
- Pay intervals
- Statutory deductions to worker
- Statutory deductions from intermediary or umbrella company income (if applicable)
- Non-statutory deductions
- Non-statutory deductions from intermediary or umbrella company income (if applicable)
- Any fees for goods or services
- Other benefits
- Holiday entitlement
If you want to know more about the Good Work Plan or how to successfully implement a Key Information Document, please contact Bishopsgate.

Here's a look at #3 on its way onto the cloth storage beam:
What looked (again) too subtle as I wove it became more distinct when seen under the loom. It's made up of alternating single and double oval shapes, each set a slightly different color than the next because the design lines shift up a shaft or two each time they repeat. These interleaved threadings are great for getting surprising variations with only as much effort as it takes to shift the design by a few shafts! Gotta love "easy!"
Because attendance was light today, with rain on and off the whole day, the moon is also completed, so I'm ready to start on a new jacquard design tomorrow. I've got at least 20 queued up, so it's only a question of which ones I have the right yarn colors for. The others will require some dye work before they can reach the top of the queue.
The most interesting (and interested) group that came through our studios was a small troup of Boy Scouts. The troop leader had phoned on Friday asking if it was okay for him to bring some Scouts on Sunday. Apparently, they have an ART badge, so Open Studios is fodder for the mill (as it were). The troop leader said it would only be 4 boys so of course I said "No problem! Bring 'em!" As it turned out it was more like 8 boys (aged perhaps 10?) and an equal number of dads and moms. The studio was quite crowded, and I think the parents got more out of watching the demo than the Scouts, but a couple of the Scouts asked very intelligent, to-the-point questions, so they were listening and watching closely.
Several of the moms & dads took away copies of the "Woven Portraits" flyer, so there might be some business to be had in future.

Treatment Action Campaign FEB Award
I am absolutely delighted that TAC have been awarded the prestigious FEB award for the extraordinary achievement they have accomplished so far.
This kind of recognition is hugely significant, not only because it acknowledges TAC's achievements, but also because it sends a loud and clear message to the international community that TAC is being supported at the highest level. In the same way that the citizens of South Africa campaigned, strategized and struggled for freedom from Apartheid, the members of TAC have mobilize thousands of men and women at grassroots level across the nation in the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic. I am immensely proud of TAC leaders and members, and also honored to be a participating Friend of TAC.
There is so much to be done, but we are making progress. With proper treatment, nutrition, and medical care HIV does not have to be a death sentence. Mothers can live to take care of their children, and those children do not have to end up as orphans.Working together through education we can help to break the cycle of stigma, ignorance and fear.
Viva TAC..Viva!!
