Zombie Quick ViewADAD-KNI-6118xFela Kuti
ZombieOn the title track of 1976's Zombie, Fela and the backup singers ridicule the mindset of men in uniform over an urgent, quick-march accompaniment from Afrika 70. "Attention! Quick march! Slow march! Salute!" sings Fela, "Fall in! Fall out! Fall down! Go and kill! Go and die! Go and quench!" Each phrase is followed by the women singers' taunting response, "Zombie!" Just a few months later on 18 February, 1977, around 1,000 soldiers, most of them armed, swooped on the Kalakuta Republic. Fela was badly beaten, sustaining a fractured skull and several
broken bones. His mother, then aged 77, was thrown out of a window, fracturing a leg and suffering deep trauma. The army then set fire to the compound and prevented the fire brigade reaching the area. The blaze gutted the premises, destroying six Afrika 70 vehicles, all Fela's master tapes and band equipment, a four-track recording studio, all the residents' belongings and, for good measure, the free medical clinic run by Fela's brother, Dr Beko Ransome Kuti (who was also severely beaten in the attack). The first journalists to arrive on the scene were assaulted by soldiers. Inquisitive passers-by were similarly set upon. The army didn't want any witnesses.1. Zombie

So It Is Quick ViewSONM-LEG-79212xPreservation Hall Jazz Band
So It IsPreservation Hall Jazz Band have announced the release of their new album, So It Is, the septet's second release featuring all-new original music, releasing via Legacy Recordings. So It Is finds the classic PHJB sound invigorated by a number of fresh influences, not least among them the band's 2015 life-changing trip to Cuba.
In Cuba, all of a sudden we were face to face with our musical counterparts, says bandleader/composer/bassist Ben Jaffe. There's been a connection between Cuba and New Orleans since day one - we're family. A gigantic light bulb went off and we realized that New Orleans music is not just a thing by itself; it's part of something much bigger. It was almost like having a religious epiphany.
Producer David Sitek, a founder of art rock innovators TV on the Radio who has helmed projects by Kelis, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Santigold among others, offered both a keen modern perspective and a profound respect for the band's storied history. Upon arriving in New Orleans to meet with the band, Sitek recalls he and Jaffe accidentally stumbling into one of the city's famed second-line parades. I was struck by the visceral energy of the live music all around, this spontaneous joy, everything so immediate, he says. I knew I had to make sure that feeling came out of the studio. It needed to be alive. It needed to sound dangerous.
The music on So It Is, penned largely by Jaffe and 84 year-old saxophonist Charlie Gabriel in collaboration with the entire PHJB, stirs together that variety of influences like classic New Orleans cuisine. Longtime members Jaffe, Gabriel, Clint Maedgen and Ronell Johnson have been joined over the past 18 months by Walter Harris, Branden Lewis and Kyle Roussel, and the new blood has hastened the journey into new musical territory. Inspired by that journey and reinvigorated by the post-Katrina rebuilding of their beloved home city, PHJB are redefining what New Orleans music means in 2017 by tapping into a sonic continuum that stretches back to the city's Afro-Cuban roots, through its common ancestry with the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti and the Fire Music of Pharoah Sanders and John Coltrane, and forward to cutting-edge artists with whom the PHJB have shared festival stages from Coachella to Newport, including legends like Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello and the Grateful Dead and modern giants like My Morning Jacket, Arcade Fire and the Black Keys.

High Life Quick ViewREDI-WAR-5519xEno & Hyde
High LifeWritten and recorded across a series of recording sessions in April of 2014 (some of which were open to selected media from around the world), none of the music on High Life existed before Someday World was completed! The resulting record, at 6 tracks and 45 minutes, is the clearest expression yet of the 'Reichkuti' (Steve Reich meets Fela Kuti) direction that first brought the Eno Hyde collaboration into being. And as the polyrhythms and melodies build, swirl and syncopate, the album feels truly alive with the energy of this time in the studio. High Life reunites Eno and Hyde with the 20 year old producer/multi-instrumentalist Fred Gibson, previous Eno-collaborator Leo Abrahams on guitar, drummer Chris Vatalaro, and keyboardist Don E. Taken alongside Someday World, it provides a fascinating insight in to how consistent influences can lead to very different but connected music, and continues to tell the story of two iconic musicians collaborating and exploring together. We look forward to seeing how fans select their own favorites across the two albums.LP1

Afrodisiac Quick ViewADAD-KNI-6811xFela Kuti
AfrodisiacThe best known song on 1973's Afrodisiac is "Jeun Ko Ku," a satire about gluttony and Fela's first major hit in West Africa. In Broken English, the title means "chop and quench," which, in turn, means "eat and die" in Standard English. Lyrically, the standout track is the closing "Je'Nwi Temi" ("don't gag me"), a critique of the Nigerian political/military establishment and a defence of free speech. Fela vows that he will always tell it like it is, no matter what. This proved to be prophetic stuff, given the police and army assaults, intended to silence him, which were just around the corner. "Alu Jon Jonki Jon" draws on the interaction between animals and humans that is part of Yoruba mythology, in a tale about a dog who betrays his friends. Like many of Fela's lyrics of the period, the lyric employs parable and metaphor to encourage ethical conduct in everyday life. In "Eko Ile," Fela sings that there is no place like home (Eko was the pre-colonial name of Lagos). Afrodisiac was recorded at EMI's Abbey Road studios in London. According to the original sleeve credits, the album was produced by Jeff Jarratt. Fela only infrequently employed outside producers on his albums. Sometimes the results were excellent: British dub master Dennis Bovell's Live In Amsterdam (1983); Ginger Baker's psychedelia-tinged He Miss Road (1975); and Wally Badarou's Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense (1986). On another occasion it was spectacularly bad: Bill Laswell's remix and overdubbing of Army Arrangement (1985), made while Fela was in jail in 1984 on currency smuggling charges. Friends smuggled a cassette of Laswell's version into Fela. Listening to it, he said later, was "worse than being in prison.' On Afrodisiac, Jeff Jarratt was clearly working under Fela's close direction. The sound is classic Africa 70: punchy, raw, "live in the studio."1. Alu Jon Jonki

London Scene Quick ViewADAD-KNI-6415xFela Kuti
London SceneFela's London Scene, released in 1972, is another top-notch affair, made with a smaller band but one that punches above its weight. There is no tenor guitarist and no call-and-response choir, though sing-along vocals are a feature of "Egbe Mi O" ("please carry me"). Throughout, Fela's electric piano is gym-ripped and razor sharp, and Igo Chico turns in three stirring tenor solos. "Buy Africa," written in 1970, was one of Fela's first politically-informed songs. The lyric was written in support of a government campaign to encourage local industry. At this point, Fela remained open to accommodation with the state, on occasions when he deemed it to be in the Nigerian and pan-African interest. He even invited government sponsorship for "Buy Africa," but was rudely rebuffed by the politician he approached with the idea. The incident proved to be an important moment in shaping Fela's future relationship with the authorities. From 1972, he would no longer release accommodationist songs. From there on in, he would identify the status quo as the fundamental problem-a problem that could not be solved by government campaigns, but only by the complete overhaul, if not overthrow, of the government itself. "J'Ehin J'Ehin" ("eat teeth eat teeth") is along similar lyric lines as "Shakara." This time Fela is lampooning people who are so greedy that they eat their own teeth. (A more amiable Yoruba expression describes people who are so hungry that once they have finished their food they eat the plate). In "Who're You," Fela channels James Brown's vocal style over an angular funk groove. "Fight To Finish" draws on Yoruba folklore to offer advice: once you have started something, be prepared to finish it.1. J'Ehin-J'Ehin

I.T.T. Quick ViewADAD-KNI-5111xFela Kuti
I.T.T.I.T.T. International Thief Thief (1980) was recorded following Afrika 70's disintegration and the formation of Egypt 80. It is one of a quartet of courageous 1979/80 albums completed by V.I.P. (Vagabonds In Power), Authority Stealing and Coffin For Head Of State. After drummer Tony Allen, who had been with Fela since 1964, quit Afrika 70 in autumn 1978, baritone saxophonist Lekan Animashaun, who had joined Fela in 1965, became Fela's new band, Egypt 80's bandleader. Animashaun is credited as bandleader on I.T.T., which is really an Egypt 80 album even though the band's name is given as Afrika 70 on the sleeve. In "International Thief Thief ," Fela makes highly insulting, personal attacks on former Nigerian president General Obasanjo, and Moshood Abiola, the local chief executive of the multi-national corporations Internal Telephone & Telegraph (ITT) and Decca Records. Obasanjo Fela regarded as a crook, an incompetent and a thug, and held him responsible for the death of his mother following the 1977 sack of Kalakuta. Abiola, he believed, had both cheated him out of royalties and conspired with Decca's London bosses to silence him after the 1977 attack, in order to maintain favourable relations with Obasanjo's regime. Both men, Fela says, are "thieves," "rats" and of "low mentality." "Many foreign companies dey Africa," sings Fela, "carry all our money go, them get one style wey them dey use, them go pick one African man, a man with low mentality, them go give am million naira bread, to become of high position here, him go bribe some thousand naira bread, to become one useless chief, like rat they do them go do from corner corner, passee passee, under under, passee passee, inside inside, passee passee like Obasanjo and Abiola we are tired of carrying their shit."

Gentleman Quick ViewADAD-KNI-6910xFela Kuti
Gentleman1973's Gentleman is the last of Fela's early 1970s transitional albums - it was followed by 1974's Alagbon Close, on which he brought all Afrobeat's signature ingredients together. On its title track, 1973's Gentleman presents one of Fela's most perfect lyrics, sung in call-and-response with the backing vocalists. "I no be gentleman at all," Fela sings, "Africa hot, I like am so; I know what to wear but my friend don't know; him put him socks him put him shoes; him put him pants him put him singlet; him put him trouser him put him shirt; him put him tie him put him coat; him come cover all with him hat; him be gentleman; him go sweat all over; him go faint right down .I no be gentleman at all-o; I be Africa man original." There's plenty more. As so often with Fela's songs, "Gentleman" can be interpreted literally or as metaphor concerning a wider issue. In this case, Fela's topic is the colonialism-induced inferiority complex which led many in Africa's new governing elites to reject African style, concepts of beauty and modes of behaviour in favour of European imports. It was a subject Fela returned to on 1976's Yellow Fever, whose title track attacked the craze for skin whitening creams among African women, and 1977's Johnny Just Drop, whose title track lampooned the social pretensions of Africans returning home after working or studying abroad. Gentleman's other tracks, "Fefe Naa Efe" and "Igbe," have briefer lyrics. On "Fefe Naa Efe," an Ashanti motto from Ghana, Fela tells a woman dumped by her boyfriend that she must get over the heartache and move on.1. Gentleman

Instrumentally, the album brings together the several signature elements of Fela's Afrobeat, which had not previously been moulded into such a unified, finely-balanced form on record. Lyrically, it is a full-on confrontation with an enforcing power of the Nigerian state: Alagbon Close in Lagos was the headquarters of the Nigerian Criminal Investigation Department. Many of the musical elements which make Alagbon Close so compelling can be heard on earlier recordings, but on this album, Fela pulled them all together to devastating effect, in the process creating the classic Afrobeat paradigm.1.

Sorrow, Tears And Blood Quick ViewADAD-KNI-4312xFela Kuti
Sorrow, Tears And BloodUprising of 1976 in which thousands of South African students protested the forced teaching of Afrikaans, the colonial language of Apartheid. During the uprising and the ensuing riots, hundreds of students were killed. The song calls out killings that have gone on in the name of authority and totalitarian rule as well as the instruments of repression of colonial Africa - the police and the army. In this way the song indirectly references the brutality that Fela and his family have experienced in the series of raids on his family compound, the Kalakuta Republic. The musical composition parallels the somber tone of the lyrics; focused and direct, the track avoids the bombastic funk of many of Fela's compositions.
"Colonial Mentality" follows in the same manner, pointing out that those who wish to live in a post-colonial mentality are in essence living as slaves. Musically, the Africa 70 returns to a more funk and jazzy grooves while relaying a pertinent message to those who looked to Fela as a leader of the resistance.1. Opposite People

Fear Not For Man Quick ViewADAD-KNI-4114xFela Kuti
Fear Not For ManFear Not For Man was one of the first albums to be released by Fela following the sacking of his Kalakuta Republic compound by 1,000 soldiers on 18 February 1977. Fela, along with many other Kalakuta residents, was brutally beaten; his mother, then aged 77, was thrown out of a window, fracturing a leg.
The army set fire to the compound, destroying six Afrika 70 vehicles, all Fela's master tapes and band equipment, a four-track recording studio, and all the community members' personal belongings. It is doubtful, contrary to some sources, Fear Not For Man was recorded after the attack - doubt which is dispelled by neither the gruesome front sleeve design, showing blood flowing down Fela's face.
His response came later, on albums such as Unknown Soldier (1979) and Coffin For Head Of State (1980); Fela's practice of no longer performing a song live once he had released it on record is the reason for the two/three year gap between the attack and the release of these albums.1.

Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense Quick ViewADAD-KNI-5517xFela Kuti
Teacher Don't Teach Me NonsenseTeacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense: Fela explains the role of the teacher in any society with the concept that: all the things we consider as problems, and all the good things we accept from life as good, begin with what we are taught. The individual teaching begins with when we are children - our mother is our teacher. When we come of school age, our teacher is the school-teacher. At the university, the lecturers and professors are our teachers. After university-when we start to work, government becomes the individual's teacher. When then is government's teacher? 'Culture and Tradition' says Fela. This is the order of things everywhere in the world. However, it is the problem side of teacher and student that interests Fela in this song. Because every country in this world except in Africa, it is the respective culture and tradition of that country that guides the government on how to rule their people. Going for specifics, Fela mentions France, Germany, England, Korea, Japan, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Etc., it is the culture of these countries that shapes and guides their respective government's decisions. The culture and traditions of these countries serve as a teacher to their respective governments. Turing his attention to Africa and her problems. Problems which he had sang about: corruption, inflation, mismanagement, authority stealing, electoral fraud, the latest addition which even makes him laugh is -austerity. Fela says if you ask him why 'austerity makes him laugh? The answer is that it is beyond crying. The government steals money from the country, the same government is introducing austerity measures-forcing the poor people to pay for their own greed and calling it 'austerity measures'. How funny if to say the least. Who taught African 'leaders' to rule the way they do today? 'Na the oyinbo' (meaning in Yoruba language: 'it is them white folks') referring to ex-colonial ruler of each country. Take electoral fraud, which is a true test of our democracy. Many African leaders rig elections with impunity and their respective ex-colonial rulers say nothing against this form of 'democracy'. While the same 'white folks' are quick to claim credit for Africa's 'civilization'-which Fela disputes in this song. Is this democracy? , he asks. Turning to other problems like the ever-growing gap between the rich and the poor. Particularly, since the rich are the rules, and also the people stealing the country into poverty. Is this democracy? Or dem-all-crazy? In conclusion, as an African personality, Fela says he is not in the same league as those who believe in dem-all-crazy, so he calls on the Western powers who claim to be Africa's teachers not to teach him nonsense-Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense.
Look and Laugh: By 1981 when Fela wrote and started to perform live the song Look And Laugh, he was living a life that could be described as a recluse. Fela, who loved to go out in public places, clubs, etc. Suddenly, was always found sleeping or playing sax at home with women around him, or performing at the Africa Shrine. His old attitude of keeping abreast of events, giving lectures at universities and institutions of higher learning stopped. He rarely gave press conferences or press releases, like he used to do. Finally he wrote the song to explain what was going-on with him. He sang: ' many of you go dey wonder why your man never write new song! wetin I dey do be say I dey look and laugh.' Meaning: many of you must have been wondering why, your man has not written new songs! what I am doing is just look and laugh! Fela went on to explain his contributions and sacrifices for the cause of black emancipation, the countless beatings and arrests from the Nigerian police and army, his trials and tribulations, his ultimate sacrifice being the burning down of Kalakuta by the Nigeria army. But despite his sacrifices and sufferings like millions of other Africans, it was obvious that things were not getting better for the average man on the street. There is still injustice everywhere, no freedom, no happiness. All these made him feel disillusioned and all he could do about the situation is to Look and Laugh.
Just Like That: This song is a call to arms from Fela to all Africans to rise up and do something about the political, economic, social and cultural retrogression that has plagued Africa since independence. For more than three decades of independence, there is glaring mismanagement of people's lives, corruption in the highest echelon of government-all these carried out with impunity-'Just Like That' he sings. Using the Nigerian experience as an example of the 'lack of maintenance culture', in Africa's present day neo-colonial administrations, he says: 'White man ruled us for many years, we had electricity constantly, our leaders take over! No electricity in town-Just like that!' Fela explains that the attempt to transplant 'Western style democracy' in an African society is the cause of all the problems. Despite calls for African Unity from leaders like Kwame Nkrumah, who said: '..Until all foreign institutions and culture are removed from the African land, that is when the African genius will be born and African personality will find its fulfillment..'. Instead of heeding Nkrumah's call, Nigeria's political founding fathers, like most African leaders at independence, chose the option of fashioning the constitutions of their respective countries after those of the departing colonial 'masters'-Just Like That. The ambiguity of such decisions can be seen in the poor imitation we make of our attempt at 'Western style democracy'. Persistent political gangsterism, military coups, and sometimes wars, are means used to enforce the already compromised constitutions. As another example of enforcing a fragile constitution, Fela stresses the face that in 1966, Nigeria for a civil war to keep the country ONE. General Gowon, the military head of state, divided Nigeria into twelve administrative regions, subsequent administrations divided the regions into more-Just Like That. He adds that if the idea of the civil war was to keep the country ONE, sub-dividing Nigeria into more regions would separate rather than unite the country. Turning to the position of traditional rulers in the mess called government, Fela sings: ' nothing good for town to give the youths good examples, how our traditional ruler they do, them come make youths look-up to Europe and USA, in those places them don lose them common sense, na the number of Nuclear weapons you get, na him give you power pass! Right now! Fight now! Suffer must stop! Just Like That". Therefore, calling on the people to fight now for a better society.1. Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense

The purple period continued up to and immediately beyond the Nigerian army attack of 18 February 1977 which destroyed Fela's self-governing commune, Kalakuta Republic. By the time Everything Scatter was recorded, Fela had put all Afrobeat's key elements in place: the signature rhythms he had developed with drummer Tony Allen; edgy, jousting tenor and rhythm guitars; call and response vocals; fat horn arrangements and extended, jazz-based horn and keyboard solos; politically confrontational lyrics; and, crucially, the Broken English Fela adopted to take his message beyond Yoruba speakers.1.

Roforofo FightBy 1972, when Music Of Fela: Roforofo Fight was originally released (on two vinyl albums, Music Of Fela Volume One and Volume Two), Fela was becoming one of the most avidly followed musicians in West Africa. His audience came from among the region's urban poor, the "sufferheads" living in the shanty towns around the major cities, along with growing numbers of students and political dissenters.
Fela championed, and sang about the problems of, oppressed and exploited people and denounced the ruling elites lording it over them, with their seemingly endemic corruption and their ready use of violence to crush dissent - and because he generally sang in Broken English rather than Yoruba, and adopted an increasingly pan-Africanist outlook, his message resonated throughout Anglophone Africa.1.

ConfusionThis epic Afrobeat album contains just one eponymous track clocking in at just over 25 minutes in length, and beginning with a mysterious and psychedelic musical interplay between Fela on organ and Tony Allen on drums. As the song takes on a righteously funky groove, Fela evokes the chaos of Lagos - the multitude of regional dialects, the gnarly traffic jams, the absence of a policeman to take charge - as a metaphor for the larger problems of post-colonial Nigeria.1.

Upside Down Quick ViewADAD-KNI-5913xFela Kuti
Upside DownUpside Down and Zombie, both released in 1976, were made at the mid-point of an extraordinary three-year purple period during which Fela recorded 24 albums of new material. Upside Down is unusual in that it includes a second lead vocalist, Fela's American friend Sandra Izsadore, who he'd known since touring the US in 1969. Fela went through some important changes during the tour. The most far-reaching of these followed his befriending of Izsadore, a black rights activist who introduced him to the writings of Malcolm X, Angela Davis, Rap Brown, Stokely Carmichael, Huey Newton and other revolutionary thinkers. Fela later credited Izsadore with helping inspire his philosophy of Blackism. Izsadore was one of two women who played key roles in firing Fela's political awareness. The other was his mother, Funmilayo Ransome Kuti. A friend of independent Ghana's founding president, Kwame Nkrumah, she had been an early champion of Nigerian women's rights and a prominent campaigner for Nigerian independence. In 1970, Izsadore stayed with Fela in Nigeria for six months, and returned for a shorter visit in 1976, when she sang on the title track of Upside Down. Izsadore is a competent vocalist, but, her presence aside, the main interest is in the lyrics, in which Fela observes that much in Nigerian civic society is a shambles: "head for down, yansch for up" (head down, arse up). "Go Slow" was one of several songs Fela recorded which critiqued the consequences of over-rapid urbanization - in this case, traffic jams - using them as a metaphor to describe deeper social breakdowns.1.

Shakara Quick ViewADAD-KNI-6712xFela Kuti
ShakaraShakara is one of a clutch of early 1970s albums - also among them this box's Fela's London Scene and Afrodisiac - on which Fela's Afrobeat transitioned from foetal stage to something approaching full-grown form. Shakara (1971) includes three of mature Afrobeat's signature ingredients. There are two guitarists, rhythm guitarist Tutu Shoronmu and tenor guitarist Segun Edo. The pair's repetitive, interlocking riffs - part melody, part rhythm - play a similar role to the rhythm and mi-solo guitars used in contemporary Congolese rumba. Fela's Broken English lyrics extend his music's audience beyond Yoruba speakers and make his words understandable across Anglophone Africa. And female backing vocalists echo Fela's lead vocals in what was to become Afrobeat's trademark call-and-response pattern. On release, Shakara's B-side, "Lady," was jumped on by the Nigerian press as Fela's contribution to a "war between the sexes." "I want tell you about lady-o," Fela sang. "She go want take cigar before anybody, she go want make you open the door for am, she go want the man wash plate for her for kitchen, she want sit down for table before anybody." By contrast: "Africa woman, she know the man na master, she go cook for him, she go do anything for him .But lady no be so, lady na master." "Lady," like 1975's "Mattress," has been interpreted by some as "anti-women." It was certainly in conflict with European feminist thought. However the lyric is interpreted, Fela was arguing from the particular in order to highlight the general: the adoption of European social habits to the detriment of African culture. Fela would address African men in similar fashion in "Gentleman" in 1973, lampooning their adoption of European suits, shoes and ties - which caused them to "smell like shit" in the African heat - before returning to the women in 1976 in "Yellow Fever," a song about the fashion for skin whitening creams. "Shakara" is a mainly instrumental track, with a brief lyric, sung in Yoruba, warning against boasters and braggarts. Up-tempo, with a suitably turbulent horn arrangement, it includes strong solos from Fela on keyboards and the fearsome Igo Chico on tenor saxophone.1. Lady

There's no denying that last year's Jurassic World was a box-office and critical success, driven largely by a wonderful cast and fun, edge-of-your seat story-line. It comes to no surprise then that a follow up to the movie was immediately announced, even without a concrete script and story.
ALSO READ: X-Men franchise to change Michael Fassbender as Magneto?
The prehistoric hype, eventually fizzled, but in April 2016, a director was finally confirmed in JA Bayona and talks about the dinosaur movie follow-up erupted once more. Bayona took fan excitement to another level, announcing that the current installment of Jurassic World will be a trilogy.
"It's very interesting," shared Bayona with media. "The whole Jurassic World is a trilogy that Colin Trevorrow has envisioned. We're writing the second chapter, and it's very interesting where he's leading the story. I grew up watching Steven Spielberg movies and I love those movies and the legacy, so it's a question of being truthful to the legacy and at the same time, bringing new stuff that people will appreciate. We are still six months ahead of shooting, and so far, so good. It's very exciting right now."
According to reports, fans should also expect more action and less dialogue.
"They have an idea for the next two movies actually," Universal Pictures chief Donna Langley said in a dialogue with Hollywood Reporter. "Hopefully they involve lots of dinosaur fights and little of children talking."
ALSO READ: Jaden Smith Dead-No suicide but Will and Jada Smith divorce rumors taking toll on young rapper?
What can we expect from Jurassic World 2?
This may also mean that dinosaur fans will get to see more of the dinosaur tandem between the iconic tyrannosaurus rex and the friendly, man-eating velociraptor, Blue. As most people (who have seen the movie) will remember, Blue seemingly followed the path of the T-Rex at the end of the first Jurassic World movie, hinting of a team-up worthy of Dinosaucers.
It will also be great to see what happens with the dinosaur eggs Dr. Wu steals, since it could mean that he's already making a copy of the park in China or something.
Otherwise, it will be great to see Chris Pratt as the raptor training Owen. Hopefully Dallas Bryce Howard ditches the heels this time, lest she be eaten by a really big prehistoric reptile.
Jurassic World 2 will be hatching in theaters June 22, 2018.

HUD is an experimental series embedding found "Heads Up Display" cockpit data – as an allegorical & spectatorial device – into a selection of existing fashion images.
The series builds on a new approach to creating images after becoming a parent for the first time in 2014. Partly because I wasn't taking new photographs and partly a reaction to our emotional and neurological, non-touching attachment to the digital world (after being a hands-on new parent) I began re-working certain past images.
Reconfiguring past work by either erasing parts or incorporating additional graphic elements was a way to address ideas about memory, touch and recollection more directly by treating certain images more like the construction of memories. By that I mean allowing images to change and evolve in the same way that memories are built and rebuilt every time we revisit them.
Specifically, the overlaying of "HUD" data in this series has the effect of heightening latent voyeuristic undertones already present in the work and is the latest manifestation in a search for a visual language that takes my photography into a deeper psychological realm.

For at least a few minutes today, the sun came in the back window. In the last couple of days, more crocus flowers have opened.
I like this vase so much that when a flower in it wilted, I put another bulb in it.
that pink hyacinth below has two stems, just as the taller one is wilting the shorter one is still blooming
I had banished a number of pots to the patio table to make room for Christmas lunch yesterday. When I brought it back into the house and the warmth, this crocus burst into bloom.
I brought more hyacinth vases up from the cellar, something I'd been delaying until after Christmas.
these Hornsea bulb pots are looking good, buds just ready to burst, pot from the Cirrus range on the left, Image on the right
one of my cats, Polly Pocket with some of the hyacinths in the background
It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas! The Delft Blue hyacinths are really opening up.
This Victorian wirework plant stand makes a great place to put some of the hyacinth vases, esp as I don't have a window sill in the living room.
The silver vase below with the Pink Pearl hyacinth is the one from M+S. It was only when I was processing the pic below on my pc I noticed the purple crocus in the background on the window sill.
Here is that Shorter flower trough with the crocus coming into bloom (and Socks in the background).
Below is the M+S crocus bowl.
Below is the M+S jug with muscari. Lots of leaf growth but no buds and of course, no flowers.
White amaryllis, my first amaryllis in bloom and it looks amazing.
I've had variable results with the Pink Pearl hyacinths but these are looking great.
The blue vase on the right below is one of the Pink Pearls that didn't bloom properly. Those small hyacinths in the pot below are two bulblets I removed from larger bulbs. I'm surprised to see 1 Splendid Cornelia and at least 3 Delft Blue in that pot. I thought I would have planted all the same variety. That's the best chance of them blooming at same time.
Socks started walking by while I was snapping pics. I think the black actually makes a nice contrasting background.
More successful Pink Pearl blooms.
3 more purple flowers in bloom, 2 iris reticulata and 1 large Dutch crocus.
Some close-ups of the irises. I think they are exquisite.
these are some of my Delft Blue hyacinths - they are so early this year - I've never had Delft Blue hyacinths in bloom before Christmas
I was so busy getting these into the cellar in September I didn't note them as "Delft Blue" but they sure look like it now
this is my first Large Dutch Crocus coming into bloom
Jan Bos hyacinth in the tall vase, White Pearl on either side, Delft Blue just opening up at the back on the right
Delft Blue hyacinth
in the absence of cat grass Polly Pocket will munch on the crocus
this purple early crocus has survived the munching
I must take advantage of a bit of sun this past weekend. Here are most of my vases which are out of the cellar, mid-December.
I was worried that I'd taken some of the vases out of the cellar too soon but now they're looking a bit better, although the White Pearl flowers look a bit stunted.
With so many vases I can sometimes forget it's nice to just look at a single vase. I love the way this one has a cup shaped like a flower.
the downside of bulb bowls is the different growth rates of the bulbs, moving left to right below bowl 1 one bulb is in full bloom and another one half way there bowl 2 the two bulbs at the back are much taller than the 3 in front, bowl 3 most of the bulbs are the same height bowl 4 each bulb is a different height
all my bulb pics look better with a cat in the background
Splendid Cornelia Hyacinths
White Pearl Hyacinths
Pink Pearl Hyacinths
This is the first crocus in bloom, the first bulb of any kind in bloom, first week of December. Very exciting!
the bulbs are incredibly early this year, probably due to the warm weather ?
annoyingly 1 of the 3 bulbs in this pot are completely soft and rotten, I do wonder whether the warm weather has caused this
Until I bought these two pairs of hyacinth vases I said I used all of my vases for forcing but I'm not sure about these. So far these are in the display cabinet and on the mantelpiece.
terracotta hyacinth vases
Stevens and Williams Princess Vases
- later - decided to use the Princess Vases, on the right below
the base of the vases showing the registration mark
paperwhites over pebbles
these were a bit slow to get going but half (6 out of 12) are in bloom now (Nov 22nd), one has no roots
amaryllis in vases
these are slow to get going as well, only the one in the tall vase at the back on the right has a bud
otherwise it's a bit quiet with the indoor bulbs - they are in the cellar for a few more weeks
It's rather late to get bulbs into the cellar for forcing but I did want to use these: last few golden syrup tins with hyacinth bulbs, an inexpensive (£1.99) brand-new hyacinth vase from the garden centre, my mother-in-law's Venetian glass vase with a crocus bulb and the Shake O'Cini tin with crocus bulbs. I first saw hyacinth vases at my mother-in-law's house - so she started it all!
The last time I tried paperwhites over pebbles I didn't have very good results but I wanted to try again with a different variety. I don't know if the bulbs should be in the water or not. Some are, some aren't so will see which ones root better. Some in bulb fibre in a pot are in the background on the windowsill.
here are some Marks and Spencer bulb forcing gifts I received from my husband for my birthday this week
and below, after I have opened them and gotten them ready for forcing, the crocus bulbs are planted in the re-hydrated compost in the bowl, the muscari planted similarly in the jug and the hyacinth bulb is in the vase over water, those 3 into the cellar (for 8-12 weeks), the amaryllis came ready-planted in the silver plastic pot, only needed watering and can be left out now, for comparison, my 4 amaryllis vases at the back with recently purchased bulbs
I'm still getting bulbs ready for forcing. I'm experimenting with hyacinths in these tins. I've tried hyacinths in the smaller size tins with varying results so hoping the larger tins will work better.
The red tin below shows the size comparison with the larger tins. It's extremely rusty on the other side but I'm hoping it will get through at least one more forcing season.
I'm using assorted small crocus in these smaller golden syrup tins. The black plastic pot front left has the bulblets (shown below from 10-10-2014). Sadly one was eaten by slugs, still 3 left.
These muscari (grape hyacinths) look desperate to come out of the cellar. I don't understand exactly how they grow, ie why are they sprouting now?
These muscari in the wooden trough are so developed and so green, they've always been outside. I've brought the anemic ones in the white pot and the golden syrup tins out of the cellar.
This crocus in the geese Shorter and Son flower trough has pushed itself up, completely out of the pot.
I've managed to ease the roots back into the pot. It got a little dirty in the process.
this is just about my last hyacinth bulb for this season, I'm scrounging around for containers

MAY 25TH! And they came to church on Sunday. We see them about twice a week and the daughter comes to the activities and English class with us too. Were all buddies. Already invited her to come visit me back home in Cali since her dream is to go to LA.
We almost had a 3rd date the day after! ARG. Our longest/first investigator works and goes to school non stop so its super difficult to visit with him. We had an awesome lesson in the middle of the road Sat night and it was pretty chilly, but we were there for like an hour answering his questions. He needs to pray and read more to see if he is sure, not to mention he needs to make some more time to see us!
Our cultural activity was legit. Lots of people showed and had a blast. Us american missionaries danced to Beat It by MJ. haha then all the missionaries were kind of pranked by anz murphy, he made us go up and sing the austrailian national song with him hahaha.

Lots of cool things happening, opening a city is rough but we are seeing small miracles everyday. You really learn to recognize how God puts people and situations in your path on a constant basis. Its just like Ferris Buller says, if you dont stop to look around every once in a while, you might just miss it.
p.s. matau talked about having a scambio in bergamo and città alta...yeahhh buddy reppin la mia città! Also, the pics and letters from erryone else are super rad!

Sam believed in past lives. I never could get my head around that line of thought. He told me when we met in 1982 that I had obviously been playing music in previous lives.
"Are you for real?"
"Oh yes Bob I know it."
"You know it?"
"I know it."
"Sorry this is all there is Sam or at least I need to live as though this is all there is."
"No Bob, couldn't be that way. "
"I think it's just vanity and the fear of dying that makes people believe in that."
"Nope. The proof is in your playing Bob. There's no way a person could develop that in one lifetime absolutely no way."
"Anybody could play the way I play."
"No Bob, not anybody no way."
"You remember past lives?"
"Tell me."
"Doesn't work that way Bob."
"Doesn't work that way?"
"It's accessible under certain conditions, not in this body at this time."
"Ok, see you next Wednesday."

Some of the sources that inform today's parenting do not come immediately to mind when one thinks of raising children. Take Karl Marx (1818-83), for example. Marx articulated the principles of communism. He proposed that capitalism was an economic and social system that exploited labor and kept the masses in a state of subjugation.
Marx was the unspoken godfather of the late-1960s/early-1970s psychological parenting revolution. The revolutionaries — mental health professionals, mostly — proposed that traditional parenting oppresses the "natural" (or "inner") child. This myth gave rise to relationship-based, feeling-based, self-esteem-based parenting, and child-rearing in America has been on the skids ever since.
Today, the typical American parent practices Egalitarian Parenting (or Postmodern Psychological Parenting). The parents lack confidence in the legitimacy of their authority and behave as if the parent-child relationship is constituted of equals. The result is children who are flush with esteem for their "bad" selves but deficient in respect for their elders. Fifty years ago, such children were called insufferable.
Because the syndrome is a form of co-dependency, its practitioners are usually clueless. Therefore, I have devised this questionnaire to help them self-identify. The directions are simple: Answer each statement with either Mostly True, Somewhat True or Not True. Then assign yourself 10 points for every Mostly True and five points for every Somewhat True.
1. When I talk to my child, I try to get down to his/her level (or did when he/she was smaller).
2. I generally end instructions with "OK?"
3. My child sleeps with me/us.
4. When my child throws a fit over a decision I've made, I often feel that his/her reaction means that I may have made the wrong decision.
5. I always want to be pleasing to my child.
6. If my child agrees to do a household chore, I usually pay him/her for doing so (because adults get paid for doing work).
7. I give my child lots of choices, like where he wants to sit when our family goes to a restaurant, what he would like for supper, and where he wants the family to go on vacation.
8. I generally explain to my child the reasons behind my decisions and instructions.
9. I allow my child to call adults by their first names.
10. I often get into arguments with my child.
If you score 60 or above, you are suffering from Egalitarian Parenting Syndrome. The good news is, you can recover. Here's a great first step in that direction: The next time you need some parenting advice, ask your grandmother or some other person 65 or older.

Detriments to the heart PowerPoint Template
A healthy lifestyle is needed to keep our most precious and vital organ, the heart, safe and changing times have ensured that the risks of cardiac diseases are on the rise.
Due to sedentary lifestyles, obesity creeps in which adversely affects the heart and clogs the arteries when excess of junk food is consumed. Similarly, smoking, alcoholism and consumption of tobacco poses innumerable dangers to the heart and should be completely put a stop to. This free cardiology template has the design of a red heart which is bruised and with a sad face, blood pouring out and a dangerously low pulse rate- an indicator of bad heart health. The PowerPoint can be used by medical professionals and cardiologists as a presentation in health and medical fairs and seminars, to make the general public aware about keeping our vital organ in a good condition. It can be used for home science presentations by junior school students, with pictures of bad habits affecting the heart put into the slides as well, and the names of a few cardiac diseases.

Craving a burger? Are you somewhere in Nevada? No worries, Fundreds has your back with 6 of our top places to grab one in the state. Whether it's lunch time or for a late night snack, you won't be disappointed with any of these choices on the list.
Holsteins Shakes and Buns
Serving food and drink late into the night, there's no need to rush to visit this beloved chain. But do make sure you get there. Serving up a creative menu of burgers, and their famous "Bam-Boozled" shakes, it's a great option to fill up before, during, or after a night out on the Strip.
Burger Bar
With a name as simple as Burger Bar, one might wonder what the hype is all about. Aren't they just burgers? Well, not when you can completely build your own starting with patties perfectly-cooked (including Kobe beef, lamb, buffalo, and Angus beef varieties) and then topping them with foie gras, proscuitto, black truffles… the list goes on and on. It's more than worth the trip even if you aren't staying in Mandalay Bar Resort where it is located.
Bachi Burger
Burgers made with an East Asian influence help Bachi stand out in Las Vegas. Short for Hibachi, the Japanese grilling device, the food is committed to both the flavors, and the philosophy, of the cultures that inspired it. Taiwanese sweet buns, Kurobuta pork, and family-style appetizers make this a truly unique dining experience.
Midtown Eats
Reno, the "biggest little city in the world" often sits in the shadow if its flashy neighbor Las Vegas. When it comes to creative food in a cool setting, however, Midtown Eats helps Reno shine a little brighter. Featuing excellent burgers, including lamb, elk, and bison burgers for those a little tired of the classic beef, it's worth leaving the Strip to get your hands on one in the industrial-chic space.
Las Vegas is known as one of the wildest cities in the country. Sometimes you just want to step away from it all. Stripburger is just the place to do that, serving great burgers and legendary shakes in a casual, comfortable setting. Grab a seat on the patio outside and relax before returning to the hustle and bustle of the Strip.
Fukuburger features a Japanese twist on classic American burgers that hit the spot every time. Make sure to follow along on their highly-entertaining social media sites to see their specials. A sense of humor makes your Fuku experience all the better, as the guys behind this popular, unassuming burger joint sure don't take life too seriously and don't hesitate to poke a little fun.

I was expecting today would be the start of Swim Lessons for the kids. Unfortunately, it will start next week and by that week will be back from our family vacation. I am enjoying our vacation with my husbands' family. The wedding will be this Saturday and Charles doesn't want to be a ring bearer. This morning, we are trying to put his suit on and he kept on crying. How much more when it's the wedding day? He doesn't like also when we had his hair cut. Anyway, I'm still excited for the wedding!

Q: When is a renewal not a renewal? A: When it is a substitute levy.
The Springboro School District has placed a complicated tax levy on the November 2017 ballot. On its face, it looks like a renewal of an expiring $7.9 million levy. However, it is actually a substitute levy (a new tax replacing an old one) with two very important changes.
First, instead of requiring periodic renewal it is a continuing levy. That means the tax will never end, regardless of whether the money is actually needed. No more voting, just collecting forever.
Second, the tax collected will increase as property value in the district increases. With the current levy the tax remains constant. When new homeowners arrive they pay a share lowering the tax a bit for everyone.
Springboro Schools promotes this tax increase by suggesting it "allows the district to receive revenue from new construction". Well that's true, but what happens to existing property is unclear.
A close look at the ballot language reveals this statement: "with the sum of such tax to increase only if and as new land or real property improvements not previously taxed by the school district are added to its tax list".
Since new construction is continually added to the school district tax list, it appears the tax will always be permitted to increase. Moreover, there is no exclusion for improvements like fences, pools, and patios on existing property. When the ballot language is not plainly understood, the outcome is up for interpretation by tax officials, lawyers, and courts.

Badbutt Grizzly is the monsterrrr hunting Travel Buddy and a perfect partner in crime. He puts on a scary face but really he just wants a hug. His face was hand-embroidered and he comes packed in a carefully designed box, together with a hand-drawn monster hunting kit.
Travel Buddy is a soft toy that serves a double duty: best friend at home, favourite companion while on the move. Thanks to a couple of magnets hidden on the inside, this cuddly teddy can be transformed into a soft seatbelt pad, whenever you're on the go. Having a familiar toy while in the car or other vehicle will bring a feeling of "home away from home" and will make it easier for a child to adapt to long distance or frequent travelling.
Once off the seatbelt, it becomes a regular toy with incredible magic powers - try attaching it to your fridge, radiator or any other magnet attracting surface!
Hand wash or machine wash in cold water. Don't tumble dry, don't iron.
