The night features some of Sydney's best sing songwriters paying tribute to the Nick Drake Catalogue, including Emad Younan, Leroy Lee, Julia Johnson, Matt Tonks, Michael Azzopardi, Matt Ralph, Andy Gordon, Lauren Carlson, Nat James, Chris Neto, Rosie McDonald and Charli Rainford!
During his short lifetime, he was a tortured musical genius. Yet in death, Nick Drake has found an avid cult following.
Before dying from an overdose of anti-depressants at just 26, Drake released a trio of hauntingly beautiful albums: Five Leaves Left (1969), Bryter Layter (1970) and Pink Moon (1972). None sold more than a few thousand copies – and Drake's reluctance to perform live certainly didn't help sales during his lifetime.
Yet it was a rare live performance in Cambridge that led to Drake teaming up with producer Joe Boyd – a member of Fairport Convention caught the appearance and told Boyd about it. Boyd, who produced Fairport Convention and The Incredible String Band, was so impressed that he promptly offered the 20-year-old a recording contract in 1968.
Drake's music – he left behind just three full-length albums and a handful of other songs recorded shortly before his death – has influenced countless other contemporary artists.

Ephemera: a musical exploration of celestial landscapes such as pulsars, craters, planetary atmospheres, stars, sun and void.

The ensemble is led by Keyna Wilkins (piano/flute/compositions) with Elsen Price (double bass/loop pedal), Will Gilbert (trumpet) and special guest Carl St Jacques (viola) and includes freely improvised pieces. NASA recordings of electromagnetic waves from planets and stars is the backdrop soundtrack and has been complied by astronomer Professor Paul Francis with projections of space probe footage.
Since their first performance three years ago, Elysian Fields, Australia's only electric viola da gamba band, has carved out a growing reputation for performances that blur the boundaries between jazz, chamber music and world music. Drawing largely on the compositional and arranging skills of its multitalented members, the six-piece band's charts shift effortlessly from stately, baroque-like solemnity to multilayered improvisations and driving, pulsating rhythms. And then there is the unique sound of the electric viola da gamba! Led by Jenny Eriksson, the band comprises Matt Mahon (piano), Matt Keegan (saxophones), Siebe Pogson (bass guitar), Susie Bishop (voice/violin) and Finn Ryan (drums).

After a smashing sold-out show celebrating the sensational 1980s, your favourite raucous'n'real bar band The Pragmatics return to Django @ Camelot on Friday September 14th to take you on a two-fisted tour through that flariest decade, the 1970s.
Specialising in sets that feature eclectic song choices by diverse artists, The Pragmatics deliver full-bloodied, harmony-soaked renditions of some of the finest songs of the decade.
So, when we are talking 'eclectic' and 'diverse', what do we mean exactly? Think songs by Queen, David Bowie and Billy Ocean. Think Derek & The Dominos and ABBA. Think Creedence and Toto! Not eclectic enough? How about T-Rex and Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Wonder and Thin Lizzy, or The Jackson Five following Jackson Browne (sung by drummer Steve Jackson!). And more, over two storming sets, with special guests throughout. Rock, soul and mod anthems with a slap of punk and a dash of disco, delivered in The Pragmatics' trademark all-or-nothing style, this is the 1970s made extra-large. Get in early as this will likely sell out.

It's music that spans generations.
With hits such as "Spanish Flea", "Tijuana Taxi", "The Lonely Bull" and "A Taste of Honey", this is the tip of the iceberg of the great body of work put out by Herb and his band.
TIJUANA TAXI is an entertainment experience not to miss!

'Zohar's Nigun is composed of four gents who not only ply their instruments in a rather unique exposition of traditional and modern modes but who also explore the ethnic and cultural wherewithal which, in this case, generated the Jewish /Yiddish tradition. The Four Questons is in fact the most progressive application of distinctly Yiddish style I've ever heard, yet, while spinning the ancient mode out to its farthest reaches, they also manage to preserve its essence and, in doing so, pay lavish tribute to the genius underlying.'

The eclecticism of singer, composer and producer, Steve Balbi, mines a kaleidoscope of life at the margins, navigating a wistful path from melancholy through madness,

Inspired by Brandon Stanton's Humans of New York, Balbi's greatly anticipated follow-up to Black Rainbow sets an entirely new course for his enigmatic artistry.
Transcending rock and pop as he coalesces sentimentality and soul, the first single, Modern Love, bespeaks riff and verse, meanwhile exploring heterogeneity, refinement and dirty rotten groove.

Driven by violinist Alana, chased by Kirri (double bass) and Sofia (accordion), Vardos play folk and Romany music learnt from Roma (Gypsy) musicians during their Eastern European travels. Formed late last century, Vardos have played in every state of Australia, toured to Europe, Britain, New Zealand, New Caledonia and the U.S. and appeared in film and television.
'With stagecraft that is equal parts formation dancing, martial arts and Keystone Cops, the violin-accordion-double bass trio play with formidable panache, spinning the tunes into a dizzying procession of crescendos and false stops. Vardos don´t hold back. They give the tumbling, compound-time dances and slow airs- so sad they can´t bring themselves to sing the words- both barrels and not a few of Hunt´s bow hairs.' **** Rob Adams, The Herald, Edinburgh

After a series of sold out shows last year, Renée Geyer returns to Camelot for two magical nights of music!
Renée Geyer's past is Australian music history. Her career has spanned 4 decades & is still going strong. A precocious jazz, blues & soul singer in her late teens; Countdown royalty in her 20s; a string of pop, soul & reggae hits spanning the 70s & 80s; her LA years in the studio with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Sting, Joe Cocker & Chaka Kahn; her 90s renaissance with Paul Kelly. She is a singer, a songwriter, producer, & author. Whether in the studio or on stage, this is where Renée Geyer is home and continues to wow audiences with her remarkable voice.
Romero Records is excited to announce 'Crossing', the new collaboration between classical soprano Jane Sheldon (Pinchgut Opera, The Song Company, Elena Kats-Chernin, John Zorn) and guitarist Julian Curwin (The Tango Saloon, The Mango Balloon, Cannibal Spiders, Monsieur Camembert).
The pair first joined forces in experimental electronic pop band Gauche in the early 2000s (whose back-catalogue has just been re-released by Art As Catharsis). Now, more than a decade later, they bring together all of their intervening musical experiences for 'Crossing'.
Though difficult to neatly categorise, a shared love for western film scores, folk song and early music may give some clues. 'Crossing' is music that evokes other lands, sometimes real, often imaginary.
"The music, gently bathing in the prevailing medieval ethos without descending to pastiche, is performed with an artistic rigour worthy of Jordi Savall. I know no higher praise." 5 Stars John Shand SMH
Love, lust, revenge and murder never sounded so sweet and low down.
The Loud Hailers, AKA Christa Hughes and Ben Fink, first got together sharing a deep passion for early blues music and the extraordinary artists that produced it.
After jamming on the veranda a couple of times they started to write their own songs and now can't keep quiet in their loud hailing glow.
Ben's stunning guitar playing and Christa's powerful voice make a dynamic duo indeed.

A party like no other with dance music from Africa, Cuba, The Balkans, Russia, Spain, France, Italy, with styles ranging from wild Eastern European Gypsy music to Cuban Salsa and Zimbabwe township tunes.
"For two decades Marsala has been turning music from all around the world into one repertoire, and people from around the world into one audience."
"Every groove was somewhere between vibrant and irresistible, and virtually every solo raised the stakes of its host song, whether it was Khusid's diamond-edged trumpet blazing on Dark Eyes or Stojcevski's machine-gun alto on Wedding Cocek. For 140 minutes this was music as art and for dancing all at once; music for going a little crazy. And the community that goes crazy together sticks together." John Shand SMH

Tex Perkins has played a key role in Australian music It's understandably difficult to pull together a coherent picture of a man whose career has taken in everything from the groundbreaking experimental punktonica of Sydney mid-80s noiseniks Thug to the lilting, dark country of his recent material with the Dark Horses.
From the hard edged pub rock of the Beasts Of Bourbon's, a snarling slice of filthy pub rock to the evocative soundscapes of The Cruel Sea.. Then there's the Tex, Don & Charlie albums, which saw Perkins joining forces with the legendary Don Walker, Cold Chisel's pianist and master songwriter and son of the Clarence Valley, and Charlie Owen, previously Australia's best kept musical secret.
Now is Tex's exciting new (and long over due) collaboration with Matt Walker (a great artist in his own right) for duo shows. It's a blues swamp-groove kinda thing that's a little reminiscent of some of the things in Tex's back catalogue. Many new originals inhabit the setlist, but see them now while they still have to flesh out the set with a few Cruel Sea covers! "Tex has the swagger, presence and indomitable attitude that comes from years of fronting some of Australia's most intense and spirited rock'n'roll bands.

The SICARIOS will be focusing on the late Tom Petty's music, with special guests:
DAVE WARNER (Just a Suburban Boy)
PERRY KEYES (One of the country's greatest songwriters)
BRETT MYERS (guitarist Died Pretty)
"The SICARIOS excel at something that few other bands have been able to truly nail. They take classics from three heavyweights and not only do they honour the music completely – which they do with rich harmonies, steely guitar riffs and rhythms, and total cohesion – drummer and frontman Lloyd G, manages to inject entirely new layers of meaning and significance to the music.
By sharing his relationship to these seminal tunes, Lloyd's reverence and respect for the music that shaped him as an inquisitive young man from Burma growing up in Australia, further elevates the music. And that's not even to say how he perfectly captures the vocal timbres of Fogerty, Petty and Young.
Don't be fooled into thinking The SICARIOS are just another run of the mill tribute show. This band will have you captivated from start to finish, and you truly won't want the show to end!

Tapestry is the second album recorded by American singer-songwriter Carole King. It was released in 1971 and is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 25 million copies sold worldwide; it received four Grammy Awards in 1972, including Album of the Year.
The first double sided single from the album, "It's Too Late b/w I Feel the Earth Move", spent five weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
In 2003, Tapestry was ranked number 36 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
King wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on the album, several of which had already been hits for other artists such as Aretha Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and The Shirelles' "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" (in 1960). Carole King's Tapestry The Concert performs this quintessential Carole King album LIVE in a sophisticated, "true to the original sound" format.
King also wrote numerous hits for other artists, hits such as: The Loco-Motion (Little Eva/Kylie Minogue), I'm Into Something Good (Herman's Hermits/Marianne Faithful), Pleasant Valley Sunday (The Monkees) and You've Got A Friend (James Taylor). As a lead up to the performance of Tapestry, the album, these songs plus others are presented in a 45 minute set performed live by The Fabulous Nickettes.
Join Drey Rollan and crew for a musical experience that cuts right to the heart of where psychedelic blues-rock guitar began. Life in London was bustling in the swinging 60's, with the explosion of the British invasion hitting the world over.
Whilst the Beatles were conquering America, there was another sound commanding attention, three dynamic musicians from the London Blues and Jazz scene would form the first power trio called Cream. Featuring Eric Clapton a guitar god, Bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker, this super group would create the Blues Rock genre. Together Cream crafted four incredible albums within a two year a period. Hits such as I feel free, sunshine of your love, White Room and Crossroads.
This sound became iconic when the most talked about guitarist of all time Jimi Hendrix came on to the scene taking the sound to supernatural heights. The American landed in London formed the Jimi Hendrix experience with bassist Noel Redding and Drummer Mitch Mitchell. This would be a power group with another short career due to Jimi's tragic death in 1970. In the space of two years this power trio created three massive albums, with monster hits like Hey Joe, purple Haze, Foxy Lady and Voodoo Child.
The Cream and Hendrix Tribute show has melded together some of the Cream and Hendrix classics, to transport you back to where music became colours that lit up the room.
Featuring: Drey Rollan on Guitar; Scott Leishman on Bass; Antero Ceschin on Drums; and special vocalists Bobbie Green & Moses York!

Based around the soulful vocals of Suzy G, and featuring a crack backing band including musicians who've played with Sydney indie bands like Pel Mel, Perry Keyes, Fallon Cush, Lazy Susan, and Eva Trout, Suzy And The Snakepit will play hit after hit that will keep you ready for a brand new beat.

Like many of his peers born in the latter half of the 1940s, Blaine Taylor loved movies about World War II.
But his infatuation didn't end when the theater lights went up. In fact, it grew.
"I caught the whole first wave of World War II movies, and that's when my interest really got started," says Mr. Blaine, 47.
Over the past 25 years or so, he has made countless trips to the National Archives and Library of Congress, sorting through thousands of WWII photographs and reading hundreds of books on everything from Hitler's invasion of Poland to Hiroshima and the dawn of the Atomic Age.

Today's post takes a look back to when the 1953 Michigan Football team defeated Washington in the first ever matchup between the two schools. The game was played in Ann Arbor, Michigan in front of 44,086 fans. Unfortunately, this meant that there were were just under fifty-thousand empty seats!
It was the season opener for both teams and Michigan won the game by a score of 50-0. Neither team was ranked going into the game, but the impressive victory vaulted Coach Oosterbaan's Wolverines to a number four ranking in week two. Michigan used a balanced offensive attack to completely dominate the game from start to finish. Halfback Ted Kress was one of the stars of the game. He completed 5 of 6 passes with one of them going for a touchdown. The talented Kress also rushed for 65 yards and scored two touchdowns. Flint's sophomore sensation, Tony Branoff, ran for two Wolverine scores.
Fortunately, Coach Oosterbaan's 1953 Michigan Football team was off to a fast start. The Wolverines won their next three games and remained as the fifth ranked team in the country heading into a road contest with the Minnesota Gophers. The Golden Gophers were the better team on October 24th and Michigan went home to ponder a 0-22 loss.
The Wolverines bounced back with a nice Homecoming win (24-14) against Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, Oosterbaan's Single Wing offense was completed stifled during the next two weeks by Illinois (Lost 3-19) and Michigan State (Lost 6-14). Michigan bounced back with a strong showing (20-0) against Ohio State in the final game of the season.
Bennie Oosterbaan's 1953 Michigan Football team finished the season with a final record of 6 wins and 3 losses. They earned a fifth-place tie in the Big Ten with a record of 3 wins and 3 losses.
The 1953 Michigan Football team's season marked some interesting firsts in Michigan Football History. Here they are:
· The Michigan vs Washington game was the first ever game played between the two schools. Of course, it was also Michigan's first series win against the Huskies. The teams have now played twelve games and Michigan holds the advantage at 7 wins and 5 losses. Four of the matchups took place at the Rose Bowl and they are even with 2 wins and 2 losses each.
· Michigan's loss to Michigan State marked the first ever Big Ten game between the two hated rivals. It was also the first game ever contested for the Paul Bunyan Trophy. Michigan lost the game (6-14) and the trophy to Sparty and the rivalry jumped to a new level of intensity.
· Michigan started the season with the big shutout win and they finished the season the same way – with a 20-0 victory over Ohio State. It was the first, and only time, that a Bennie Oosterbaan team started and ended the season with shutout wins.
· Another interesting "first" occurred at the end of the 1953 season. Sophomore Tony Branoff led the team in rushing and scoring. At the end of the season, Tony became the first Sophomore to win team MVP honors at Michigan.
So, the 1953 Michigan Football team started the season with a first, had some more in the middle and finished with two more at the end of the year. Four more reasons why, in my humble opinion, the Wolverines have the greatest "history" in college football. Go Blue!


text: With diesel fuel becoming more interesting I was recently thinking "what if diesel would become the most prevalent power source for autos? I think that it would increase demand for fat. All kinds of fat from hydrogenated oils, animal fat and more would be immediately purged from consumer food sources because it would probably become more profitable for manufacturers to create for bio-fuel. So we would see a trend of companies like McDonalds, BK, KFC, Nabisco, Pepsi's Lays potato chips and others finding it harder to get hydrogenated oils and they would be forced to come up with news ways to create the products that people love. In time we would see a newer era of product that would be labeled low fat or light because it would be the normal new formula. A shift would be made, and we would quickly see many people becoming more healthy, losing weight cause the FAT wouldn't be there anymore. Furthermore, healthy oil like olive oil could be made off limited for fuels increasing the intake and further helping the obesity problem. Ides?

This is the mini Altar I made! Photo by Mia Roman.
© 2013. Angely Martinez. All Rights Reserved.
This year's life and career explorations have allowed me to do things that I never thought I would do. However, I miss doing visually artistic work. So the minute I heard about the Adult Mini Altar Workshop with Mia Roman, which took place on November 2nd, 2013, I could not wait to go and see what I would end up creating.
The Workshop was part of the "Día de Los Muertos: El Barrio" presented by Viajero Borish at the Julia De Burgos Cultural Center. This art installation's mission is to bring the community together to honor the love ones that are no longer in this world by adding objects to the altar. This is the third workshop I attended with Mia Roman, who is a fantastic artist, Frida Kahlo fan, and very proud of her Latin American roots.
When I first got to the workshop, which ironically was at the same building I went to high school years ago, I did not know exactly how I would decorate my box. I started with glittering a white plastic flower, then drawing wavy lines, and then adding more things. It was a colorful journey of transforming a plain white box into a fun, complicated, and overly crazy piece that I never thought I would do.
At some point, it was as if all my creative thoughts exploded in the class. At some point, I could not stop adding more and more objects, and transforming those small objects into something else. I added more and more until I could not add anymore. Everything combined, turned the small white box into a beautiful altar.
Everyone created beautiful boxes, some of them of their grandmothers and others of family members. It was a collective environment in which everyone brought their own identity into what they did. I had never done an art class about El Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Once again, I stepped out of my comfort zone.
To find out more information about Art by Mia Roman, you can check her website, and to purchase her work, you can check her Etsy Shop.

I recently read this excellent article below in Outside magazine. It has some great information, so for this edition of my newsletter I thought I would share;
Timeless Fitness Laws
In an age of whiz-bang techno-training, it's way too easy to lose track of what made us fit in the first place: quality movement, good food, and high-intensity common sense.
In the not-so-distant past, your food grew on a farm. Meals were home-cooked (on an actual fire, in an actual stove). The outdoors was your gym. Watches? They tracked time, not activity. Yet somewhere along the way, conventional wisdom got muddled with modern mechanisms. And the results weren't pretty. We became much more sedentary and got fatter. And slower. And weaker (seriously). At the table, our food began to look less and less like it ever came from the ground.
"Western society is the most overfed but malnourished, sick society due to the imbalance of physical activity and real nourishment, says Stacy Sims, MSc, Ph.D., co-founder of Osmo Nutrition. "The body is designed to move all the time and use food that supports health, not quick hits of 'feel good' sugar and fat."
So how do we go back? By homing in on the fundamentals and returning to the principles that have stood the test of time. Here, 10 laws of fitness your grandfather would approve of.
Perfect the Pushup
When Charles Atlas promised the men of America that he'd transform them from weaklings into masses of muscle, the fitness industry was forever changed. But "Dynamic Tension"—for all its faults—also had its strengths. It was a program based on the basics: bodyweight. As the legend goes, Atlas studied lions, noticing that animals had no exercise equipment. They had no gyms. Instead, they pitted one muscle against another. And dropping down and giving 10—or 20 or 50—should still have its place in your routine. "With proper form, your pushups and pull-ups are still the best exercises you can do. They engage your core with a functional push-pull action," says Sims.
Do It Right—or Stop Doing It
Focus on form. If your technique is all wrong, you might be doing more harm than good. Why? Misalignment means the biomechanics of movement are out of whack. The result: increased stress in different joints and potential muscle imbalances—the perfect setup for overuse, chronic pain, and injury, Sims says.
But mastering the "how to" isn't all about taking preventative measures. "The other aspect of proper form is that you end up using the smaller, stabilizing muscles giving you core stability for daily movement," Sims explains. And if you're engaging your muscles all day—with good posture (yes, you really should pull your shoulders back), or by perfecting a pushup—you're building core strength without realizing it. Slouched over, resting on your elbows, back twisted? It should be no surprise that you make grandpa noises when getting up from your chair.
Eat a Quality Breakfast
Rising with the sun means more hours to move and more hours to eat well. "One of the overlooked benefits of eating breakfast is that it provides an early and additional opportunity to make progress toward meeting daily quotas for high-quality food types such as vegetables and fruit," says Fitzgerald.
It's not hard to start knocking out nutritional requirements before your day begins either—one serving of vegetables or fresh berries added to whole-grain cereal—can make all the difference, says Fitzgerald.
Just remember composition, says Sims. A croissant and a coffee won't cut it: "You wake up with high levels of cortisol (the belly fat hormone), and adding sugar and caffeine will perpetuate cortisol's actions," she says.
Repeat After Us (One More Time): I Will Eat Real Food
You won't find the recipe for a healthy diet on the back of a package. Change the way a food naturally exists, and you change the way your body absorbs it. "There is a disconnect between the marketing claims of pre-packaged food and real food made from scratch. And food can't just be reduced to single compounds," says says Allen Lim, Ph.D., founder of Skratch Labs.
To that extent, Fitzgerald has spent time analyzing world-class endurance athletes—a group as fit and healthy as any population on earth—finding a simple trend: "what I call 'agnostic healthy eating,'" he says. What that means: eating in culturally normal ways, but not avoiding food groups entirely; filling meals with vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds, fish and high-quality meat, whole grains, and dairy; and only sparingly eating low-quality refined grains, processed meat, and sweets. "If this formula is good enough for athletes who place tremendous demands on their bodies, it's good enough for us," he says.
Feel Your Way to Faster
The most sophisticated and reliable fitness monitoring device that exists—or will ever exist—isn't a device at all: it's your brain, says Fitzgerald. "If your body needs rest, your brain will communicate that to your conscious awareness in the form of feelings of fatigue and low motivation," he explains. The symptom: a greater perceived effort: "If the body is fatigued or if its performance capacity is compromised, the brain will have to work harder to get the same level of output, and the greater the effort the exerciser will perceive."
On the other hand? If your body is responding well to your training and is ready for more hard work, your brain will let you know that too in no uncertain terms, Fitzgerald says.
Lighten Up and Have Some Fun
"The more you enjoy your training, the more you'll put into it," says Fitzgerald. "And the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it." The research agrees: Your best efforts will likely come when you're having the most fun, a 2012 study by Alan St. Clair Gibson of the University of Worcester found. Find something you like and the addiction will come naturally: "Research indicates that the association of 'fun' with things you do perpetuates stress release, making you want to go back for more," says Sims.
Recover. No, Really: RECOVER.
One of the problems with the evolution of cross-training is that you can go hard every day. The problem: That's not what your body needs. The key is finding an easy-hard cycle you can give into, says Michael Joyner, M.D., and physiologist and anesthesiologist at the Mayo Clinic. "People have forgotten to make the hard days harder and the easy days easier." Think in terms of "active rest"—a 3- or 4-mile run for a distance runner, calisthenics, jumping rope, or classic conditioning drills, Joyner says. "That's really important."
(This is why I always prescribe a combination of high and low intensity workouts in the routines here at Your Personal Best)
Never Stop Moving
Take this in the most expansive and philosophical way: Build movement into all aspects of your life—work, home, play—and throughout your life. You name the disease and exercise is the cure. "It's proven to reduce the likelihood of weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, sexual dysfunction, and a host of infectious diseases," says Fitzgerald. Work out, and not only will you be healthier, but happier, more confident, and (bonus!) smarter, Fitzgerald adds.

What Matters
The World's Preeminent Photojournalists and Thinkers Depict Essential Issues of Our TimeBook - 2008
What Matters asks: What are the essential issues of our time? What are the pictures that will spark public outrage and spur reform? The answer appears in 18 powerful, page-turning stories by the foremost photojournalists of our age, edited by The New York Times best-selling author/editor David Elliot Cohen ( A Day in the Life and America 24/7 series), and featuring trenchant commentary from well-recognized experts and thinkers in appropriate fields. Photographer Gary Braasch and climate-change guru Bill McKibben provide "A Global Warming Travelogue" that takes us from ice caves in Antarctica to smoke-spewing coal plants in Beijing. Brent Stirton and Peter A. Glick examine a "Thirsty World," chronicling the daily search for clean water in non-developed countries. James Nachtwey and bestselling poverty expert Jeffrey D. Sachs look at the causes of, and cures for, global poverty in "The Bottom Billion." Stephanie Sinclair and Judith Bruce present the preteen brides of Afghanistan, Nepal, and Ethiopia.
Sometimes the juxtaposition of photographs can be startling: "Shop 'til We Drop," Lauren Greenfield's images of upscale consumer culture, starkly contrast with Shehzad Noorani's "Children of the Black Dust"--child laborers in Bangladesh, their faces blackened with carbon dust from recycled batteries.
The combination of compelling photographs and insightful writing make this a highly relevant, widely discussed book bound to appeal to anyone concerned about the crucial issues shaping our world. What Matters is, in effect, a 336-page illustrated letter to the next American president about the issues that count. It will inspire readers to do their part--however small--to make a difference: to help, the volume includes extensive "What You Can Do" sections with a menu of web links and effective actions readers can take now. This year give What Matters .

Brief, and mostly rather mediocre essays about numerous topics from genocide to affluenza; well structured; very arresting photographs (if one is sensitive, it can cause insomnia). A terrific section at the end for further information!
Such a compilation of all these serious ills of the world can overwhelm you if you read through this book all at once. Try to space out your exposure to the images and written calamities expressed within. The format features a balance between photos and accompanying text to illustrate one of many contemporary global issues. I found the quality of the journalism to be professional and approachable in every case.

We are born with an intrinsic drive toward happiness. We devote every thought and action to it and struggle when it seems to be missing. Most feel alone in their pursuit of happiness, never realizing that there are tried and true tools to help us reach what we strive for.
Clients of Vedic Astrology discover a viewpoint and an approach that is both satisfyingly universal and astoundingly personalized to help them - through right action and right perspective - discover the ease & joy that is their birthright.
The Right Action, at the Right Time
My goal as a Vedic Astrologer is to support clients with the right insight and strategy in accordance with your karmic timelines so that you may pursue "the right action at the right time". This way, you swim with the flow according to your own destiny potential rather than to do "the right thing at the wrong time" and find yourself swimming upstream or making efforts that will not lead to success. As well, this system offers understanding and wisdom about the great potentials as well as limitations of oneself or loved ones. In this day, when it is easy to compare yourself to others or become overly idealistic, it is highly valuable to know what it is a good time for, what your potential is, and what might not be a good fit for you or for the time in your life. - Michael

Evacuation Continues
Overlord Letralaba continued his evacuation of Peblius Major, with five critical canisters of Tyranid Psyker brain tissue amongst the material being sent offworld for further experimentation as the hordes continued to overrun the experimental research station established there. The 300th Decurion was entrusted with these canisters, but the transport due to collect them was brought down and the Overlord was forced to withdraw.
With Tyranid hordes sweeping across the plains and all escape routes cut off, the overlord was forced to call for evacuation by Night Scythes. His force was caught with its backs to the poisonous and acidic Ocean, the Sletenzee, making escape by air the only option.
Responding to his distress call, the 8365th Tactical Support wing was inbound, comprising the Scythes NNV Spiritual Hammer, Chosen, Determination and Immediate Readiness, and they were just minutes away when the Tyranid force caught up with the trapped Necrons.
The Overlord was accompanied by his personal guard of ten Lychguard with Hyperphase swords and dispersion Shields, they held one canister and occupied the centre left of the line. To his left, ten warriors with a second and four tomb blades, these equipped with gauss blasters, Nebuloscopes and shield vanes.
To his right, five immortals with a third canister and then ten more warriors with a fourth. On the far right, another five immortals carried the last. Five wraiths from the 998th Scout squadron, two with particle casters and three with whip coils were centre right. In reserve, five deathmarks, but the bad news was that only the Spiritual Hammer and Determination made it into the atmosphere. In all the force was 1149 strong, the two night scythes and deathmarks bringing it up to 1499.
More bad news, the 1578th Decurion expected to be available to support was intercepted by Blood Angels several miles to the East depriving Letralaba of seven more units, but at least they ensured that the Human mutants would not get close to the objectives.
The Tyranids had two Flying Hive Tyrants, plenty of Termagants and Hormagaunts, at least two squads of each, two zoanthropes, a warrior unit, a venomthrope and two carnifaxes. In reserve, two ripper swarms and a mucalid spore. Estimated total strength 1500. Massive reserves were close behind this scouting tendril, the Necrons had only minutes to escape.
With the Tyranids massing against our centre and right Letralaba pulled his forces back to the left whilst sending the wraiths forward in the centre where they occupied ruins and the tomb blades speeding forward on the left flank. The Tyranids engaged first as a result, their flying hive tyrants and carnifaxes killing two tomb blades and four wraiths. The wraiths were also crippled by a psychic attack that heavily hampered their combat efficiency (though not as much as having four of them destroyed).
Our Night Scythes then arrived from Reserve and picked up both squads of immortals and their canisters, plus the Spiritual Hammer shot down the closest Flying Hive Tyrant. The Determination and tomb blades killed a number of the termagants whilst our last wraith assaulted a carnifax and was destroyed without harming it.
The enemy now brought up reserves too, the mucalid spore appearing infront centre left and a ripper swarm close to our right. A tomb blade fell to psychic attack and the Determination was shot down by the enemy warlord. The Spiritual Hammer was glanced by a carnifax and withdrew temporarily after dropping an immortal squad on the right.
Our deathmarks now deep struck infront of the carnifax and badly wounded it, whilst warrior fire took out the mucalid spore and the ripper swarm also took some losses. Four termagants fell to the freshly dropped immortals and now our right hand warriors were hit by a psychic blast that killed six, causing them to break fleeing to a meltdown in the acid sea behind.
The fresh immortals now took a hail of fire but were unscathed until assaulted by rippers and hormagaunts who destroyed them easily. The deathmarks were assaulted by the wounded carnifax, but only lost one of their number. Fourth turn and the Spiritual Hammer returned and picked up a warrior squad and a third canister, she failed to wound the flying hive tyrant however.
The ripper swarm now had the abandoned objective left by our routed warriors and they destroyed it for 3-1. A ripper swarm meanwhile broke and fled under attack by our overlord but rallied quickly as the hive tyrant arrived. The tyrant now turned and shot down the Spiritual Hammer robbing us of the chance of returning any more reserves or picking up any more objectives.
The lychguard had been reduced to five by heavy enemy fire and were now assaulted by two squads of hormagaunts reducing them to two. The Carnifax had meanwhile whittled away at our deathmarks and now killed the final survivor. The Overlord and his entourage killed plenty of hormagaunts, but there were plenty of them.
The Carnifax joined the final assault together with a squad of termagants, whilst the Hive Tyrant had landed and was waiting patiently behind the combat. The Carnifax was slain by the war scythe of Letralaba but the hormagaunts held up well and with their reinforcement were able to finally overrun the beleaguered trio, leaving the final objective to the enemy. The second carnifax struck the final blow against our warlord.
With our warlord slain, the only available secondary objective, the score was three all, only the two evacuated troop units escaped for the Necrons, one of warriors and one of immortals, 215 points out of 1499, a loss rate of over 85%, nine of eleven units destroyed.
The enemy had some wounded rippers and had lost perhaps a third of their hormagaunts and termagants, plus the mucalid spore, one carnifax and hive tyrant. Their various thropes were undamaged as was their warlord and warriors.

Deep crack in Florida reactor signals widespread risks of aging U.S. reactors
A deep crack just discovered this week in the concrete containment wall of the Crystal River nuclear reactor on Florida's west coast signals a disturbing trend in on-going cracking and corrosion and other dangerous wear-and-tear symptoms among the country's fleet of aging reactors. Beyond Nuclear argues that it is time that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission fulfill its Congressional mandate to look out for public safety instead of risking lives to save nuclear utilities money. The agency should keep the Crystal River reactor closed, Beyond Nuclear argues, while seriously evaluating the safety of continuing to relicense the country's aging reactor fleet.
