One of the issues that distinguishes U.S. law from English law is the concept of an implied contractual duty of good faith. While U.S. law has embraced this concept, it was believed that English law had not. However, as a result of the recent decision of Yam Seng PTE Ltd v International Trade Corp Ltd (2013) EWHC 111 (QB), English law now appears to have been brought considerably closer to that of the U.S. and other EU legal systems in that an implied duty of good faith will be part of English contract law in certain circumstances.
The Facts in a Nutshell
This case related to a claim for breach of contract and misrepresentation brought by a distributor in Singapore (YSP) against an English supplier (ITC) of products bearing the logo of the famous English football team, Manchester United. The distribution agreement gave YSP the exclusive right to promote and sell these products throughout the Asia-Pacific region. However, at the time the agreement was entered into, ITC had not acquired all the rights it purported to license.
As part of YSP's case, it pleaded that there was an implied term in the Agreement that the parties would deal with each other in good faith.
The Judgment
In summary, Mr Justice Leggett found that ITC was held to have both repudiated the agreement and procured it by misrepresentation. In reaching this decision, he also considered in great detail whether or not there was an implied term in the agreement that the parties would deal with each other in good faith. Although Mr Justice Leggett recognized a previous reluctance to imply a duty to act in good faith in English contract law, he found that the "traditional English hostility towards a doctrine of good faith in the performance of contracts, to the extent that it still persists is misplaced". Further he saw no difficulty in "implying such a duty in any ordinary commercial contract based on the presumed intention of the parties".
This decision is significant in that that it dispels the idea that there is no general duty of good faith in English contract law. To the contrary, it is clear that such a duty will be implied in at least some commercial cases. Although the foundations of this duty could be said to have now been set, there are still questions surrounding the various types of "commercial" contracts as to which the duty should be implied.
In terms of the impact of this decision on those negotiating commercial contracts governed by English law, for those wishing to avoid the consequences of such an as yet undefined, implied duty, it would be prudent to consider including a general boilerplate clause expressly excluding any implied duties, including the duty to act in good faith. Alternatively, one may wish to consider including a clause that expressly embraces this duty – such a clause being recently upheld as enforceable in the case of Compass Group UK and Ireland Limited v Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust (2012) EWHC 781 (QB). Either way, it would be unwise simply to avoid the issue on the misplaced understanding that a duty to act in good faith will not be implied under English law if the circumstances so warrant.

It happens to every trader: the sudden serendipitous rush of a brilliant trading idea. Maybe it occurs on the drive home after a long day at work, or possibly an idea suddenly manifests during a morning shower, and sometimes before falling off to sleep. Wherever it takes place, the normal instinct of the trader is to rush to a computer to test the idea, quickly analyze the results, and if the idea seems successful, begin trading it.
Unfortunately, that is the absolute worst approach to take. Even though trading software (with simple strategy development and optimization features) cuts the time from creating a trading strategy to seeing the historical results to mere minutes, it does not mean it is the right approach. In fact, a quick test and superficial evaluation is usually the completely wrong way.
To be successful in the long term, the trader must treat strategy creation like building a house. No home builder starts building as soon as he finds a lot and gets some supplies. There are many steps to go through before even starting construction, and the same concept holds true for developing a trading strategy. Creating a plan and building a foundation are two of the first steps a homebuilder, and a trader, must address before testing and analysis.
Blueprint for profit
Ask any builder, and he'll tell you building a house starts with a plan, or blueprint. The blueprint shows what the final product will look like. The same holds true for building a trading strategy; it has to start with a plan, one that shows the end result. Sadly, many people think a plan means "find a trading system that makes a lot of money." That is too general—how much is "a lot of money?" Being specific, not vague, is the key here.
To be successful in creating trading strategies, a trader first needs to have a detailed plan, goal or vision for the expected performance of the strategy. This way, as the trader develops the strategy, there will be clear ways to measure progress. Thus, good strategy development starts with a solid goal. Personal development coaches frequently talk about SMART goals, and that is a good approach to follow. SMART, as shown below, is an acronym to help one remember the important features of an outstanding goal: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time bound. So what is an example of a SMART goal for developing a trading system?
The "S" in SMART means the goal has to be specific. "Developing a trading system that makes a lot of money" is not at all specific. A trader with a non-specific goal will never know when the goal is reached. Instead, a goal like "this trading system needs to average $12,000 net profit per year per contract over at least seven years of walk-forward testing" is certainly specific enough. Being specific, then, achieves two goals: It helps the trader determine when the target is reached, and it helps filter out systems that do not meet the plan, before too much time is wasted on an under performing strategy.
Measurable is the "M" in SMART. Simply put, it means having objective numbers and performance metrics in the plan that the strategy has to meet. It is fairly easy to create a strategy that "minimizes drawdown," but it is far more difficult to create one with a "30% maximum drawdown, measured on a trade close-to-close basis."
"A" stands for Achievable, and this is where a lot of traders go astray. Developing a trading system that "earns at least 20 points per day per contract in the E-mini S&P 500 futures" is certainly specific and measurable, but it is far from achievable (at least for most traders). Setting an unrealistic goal only leads to frustration, and inevitably causes developers to shortcut the development process. The point is to aim high, but also to aim for something reasonable.
The "R" in SMART stands for Relevant. For trading system design, the trader has to make sure details in the plan help lead to creating a solid system. If a plan includes "no more than three consecutive losing trades," ask "is this criteria truly relevant to developing a trading strategy?" While it may be a nice feature of a trading approach—who would not like a system that never had more than three losses in a row?—it really takes away from the primary focus. Remember that a trading plan has to be relevant to creating a long-term profitable trading strategy, first and foremost. Other, non-critical items can be put on a wish list, but should not be the primary focus during strategy development.
The final letter in SMART, the "T," stands for Time bound. Just as no home builder wants to spend 10 years building a house, no trader wants to spend years developing a trading strategy. So good developers put time limits on strategy creation. This is appropriate for two reasons. First, setting a time limit prevents the developer from continuously tweaking and altering a strategy to improve it. That type of approach almost always leads to over fitting. Second, time limits keep the developer engaged. Instead of focusing on just one strategy, the developer knows dozens of potential strategies are waiting to be evaluated, so the focus is then on evaluating ideas, not perfecting one system.

Ralph Reed is going to own this room. Granted, it's only a standard-issue campus auditorium at Emory University, half filled at best for the annual Georgia College Republicans convention. But to the former boy wonder of evangelical politics, it looks like heavenly shelter on this drizzly February morning. The Christian Coalition co-founder's first campaign for public office–lieutenant governor of Georgia, a position Reed and his fans envision as a stepping stone to bigger things–has turned into a waking nightmare. Every week brings a new revelation about the millions in dirty money Reed earned by duping his fellow evangelicals into putting their political muscle behind "Casino Jack" Abramoff's gambling clients. Reed's huge leads in both popularity polls and fundraising have almost disappeared. Instead of making his triumphant debut as a politician, the man Time magazine called "The Right Hand of God" is fast becoming the new poster boy for Christian-right corruption.
But here, Reed expects a hero's welcome. As an undergraduate dynamo at the University of Georgia in the late 1970s and early '80s, Reed turned the Georgia CRs into a political machine that helped elect the state's first Republican US senator since Reconstruction. "Tricky Ralph," as he was known on campus, went on to make a similar splash with the national CRs, teaming with the equally tricky pair of Abramoff, who was national CR chairman in the early 1980s, and Grover Norquist, whose Americans for Tax Reform is also caught up in the scandal.
Those associations go unmentioned in the introductory roll call of achievements that Reed listens to, beaming, before he bounds up to the podium, spreading wide his Howdy Doody grin. "It's great to be back home," he chirps, fondly recalling how in 1980 he ran a mock campus election in which Ronald Reagan surprisingly beat President Jimmy Carter, Georgia's native son–and timed the results perfectly for maximum impact. "Right before Ronald Reagan walked out on stage for his one and only debate against President Carter," he says, "they distributed a news release announcing Reagan's victory in Georgia!"
This is vintage Reed, the incorrigibly boastful, smooth-talking operator who long dazzled–and blinded–evangelical Christians, big-money Republicans and mainstream journalists. Now 44, he still looks like a million bucks, his elfin face perma-tanned to a brick red, his pencil-thin body subtly bulked out by a well-tailored suit. Only one thing is missing: applause. Maybe some CRs know the real history of that 1980 mock election from Nina Easton's book Gang of Five, in which Reed's first big political triumph is revealed to have been rigged–his first notable act of mass deception. Maybe they're just waiting for Reed to finally offer a satisfying explanation of his star turn in the Abramoff scandal. But his mea culpa smacks more of false piety than genuine gut-spilling.

How To Impress A Woman On A First Date
I've done lots of dating articles, but I've realized that there are a few things which have gone unmentioned, for one reason or another. Tips that any man can make use of, and tips that he should make use of. They're simple, don't worry. Some might even call them obvious, but they're not moves that most, or even many, men make on a regular basis. Which is a shame, as they greatly increase your odds of getting another date.
1. Teach Her Something
Most emotionally and mentally secure women love it when a man teaches them how to do something they couldn't otherwise do. Hell, some of us will pretend we don't know how to pump gas ourselves, just to get you sidling up behind us with some impromptu assistance. Cos, um, we like that kind of thing. What can you teach her? Here are a few ideas -- just make sure she's not already better than you at whichever you choose!
- Teach her to shoot pool
- Teach her to bat (batting cages)
- Teach her to shoot
- Teach her to play poker
2. Pick Her Up
By this I mean pick her up in your car. I love it when a man picks me up and drives me round. I especially love it if he's driving a stick -- very sexy, watching a man shift. (Don't ask!) This is far preferable to having her pick you up. That just skews the dynamic for the rest of the date. Don't take a back seat; lead. And lead from the start. She can pick you up on the second date -- the first date driving should be done by you.
3. Bring Her Flowers
American men do not do this enough; y'all act like flowers are too big a deal to be given to a woman you've just met. In fact, y'all make such a big deal out of it, that getting flowers actually becomes a big deal. It shouldn't be a big deal at all. It should be standard. European men rarely go on a date without picking up at least one flower on the way. And it doesn't have to be roses. It could be a tulip for all we care. It could be a handpicked dandelion! We like flowers! I get flowers from total strangers in Europe, for God's sake. Pick up a flower or two and she'll be pleasantly surprised.
4. Be Attentive
Few men are truly attentive. You listen, you pay attention to a degree, but you're not really attentive. If you really want to impress a woman on a first date, be genuinely, super duper duper attentive. What does this mean? It means order her another drink before the one she's drinking is totally gone. It means open the car door and the door of the venue for her. It means look into her eyes when she's talking, or when she's talking to you. Basically, be a man and not a boy -- but don't coddle or make a big fuss. Being attentive does not mean be a doormat, it just means show your interest all night, as opposed to just the part when you're trying to score a goodnight... um... kiss. I once went on a date with a man who was so unbelievably attentive that I still have to smile when I think about it.
5. Pick Up The Tab
I did an article on this already, and my opinion remains the same -- the man should pay for the first date. I don't care who asked who. And a real man doesn't sit there and ask how she wants to deal with the bill. A man simply signals for the check and takes care of it. If you're on date with a woman who throws a hissy over this very chivalrous, and very considerate act, you're on a date with an insecure nutter. Next time you go out, take me, instead.

The news of 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy has sent shock waves across America.
Access Hollywood talked to psychiatrist and renowned author, Dr. Gail Saltz, about what you should tell your children who may be asking those difficult questions.
"We should see this as an opportunity to talk to our kids about our morals, our values and about sex — that having sex changes you," Saltz said. "It's emotionally powerful and frankly, there are risks involved. There are sexually transmitted diseases and there is pregnancy."
So at what age should parents bring this kind of issue up?
"You should really have conversations about body and sexuality at a very young age, introducing parts [and] the names of parts," Saltz said. "The reason for this is when you start a dialogue you make yourself a source of information… When you move on to ages of 10 and 11 you want to be talking about what is sexual intercourse, when should you be having sexual intercourse — what do we believe as a family."
Saltz also noted that because of the way the brain develops, parents need to help children out with using judgment.
"The other issue is that the frontal lobe is not fully developed until you are in your early to mid 20s," she said. "This is the part of the brain that houses judgment [and] consequence, so teens are less prepared to think about, 'If I do this today, what will happen to me tomorrow?' You as a parent need to be that alter ego to them — be that frontal lobe. Talk to them about the consequences that may face them emotionally and of course physically."
So what would Saltz do if she was advising Spears?
"Unfortunately, 16 is really too young to be a responsible, careful, active, thoughtful parent. I can only say that one hopes her mother steps in and really takes a big leadership position here, because she needs to have an older parent involved who will be able to be responsible."

See, fairs like to keep introducing newer and grosser foods in an ever increasing gamble to see if they can make normal folks grosser than carny folk. So far it is paying off in spades. Here are 25 other treats that could be just as disgusting. Carnies, if you try any of these, you owe me.

Hey everybody!
Another great PAX has come and gone, and as usual everyone's high on feels and daytime cold medication. Graham and Ian have succumbed to the PAX pox, and Adam and James are being monitored for coughing, sneezing and blocked sinuses. So that's fun.
Due to PAX, CheckPoint this week was more of a light chat about video game news, rather than a full evisceration of the idiocy of the game industry, but it was still fun. We're scheduled to be back on track this week though — stay tuned for Watch + Play this week, the return of the Crapshoot and a new episode of LoadingReadyLive this week!
In the meantime, why not watch some of the videos we put up last week?
This week on Feed Dump, we consider what kind of effort it takes to become an Australian superhero.
Cameron, Graham and Alex talk about how Aether Revolt is shaking out in terms of highlander staples.
And we didn't do a Crapshoot, but we did make this Crapshot.

I'm a 21 year old student studying English and History at Stevenson University and a part time plus size model. I've been doing part time modeling work at my school for student photographers and have accumulated some experience through these photographers. I am very ambitious and take directions very well and I always bring a positive attitude to set.
I am a scuba diver in my spare time and travel quite a bit for that purpose. I hope someday I can travel for fashion related opportunities.
I definitely have a competitive streak because I play tennis for my school. I've been playing tennis for over 10 years and continue to be active in order to stay on top of my game.
I am willing to learn but also confident in my abilities and I think I would make a great model because of my dedication and my positive attitude.
Though I do do nude shoots I will be extremely careful of who I do them with and would prefer to do them in a studio. I will always bring an escort unless the photographer and I have worked out something. Also, as a student, funds are tight so I cannot pay for shoots and though I would like mostly paid assignments, I would like to do some unpaid to build my portfolio as well.
My passion is most certainly high fashion and edgy glamour. I love collaborating with interesting and creative photographers and am very directable and enthusiastic.
As a plus size girl modeling always seemed out of reach but with the encouragement of my friends and family I'm finding out how possible this is for me. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity, the people who've gotten me here, and the helpful and kind comments of the great people from this fantastic site.

PART FOUR of Arthur Chrenkoff's 'Good News from Afghanistan'; he's doing a terrific job, as he does with his analogous series regarding Iraq. Today he writes:
The third anniversary of a significant event had passed recently without much notice or commentary, not unexpectedly overshadowed by another, more prominent third anniversary. On September 9, 2001, two al Qaeda suicide bombers impersonating foreign journalists assassinated Ahmad Shah Massoud, the leader of the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance. Rightly so, this event came to be seen as a prelude to S11, the opening shot in al Qaeda's renewed offensive against the West as well as its enemies within Afghanistan.As always, a must-read; it's also at OpinionJournal, if you prefer.
Three years can make a huge difference. The presidential campaign in Afghanistan has officially commenced on September 7. Perhaps it would have been more symbolic had it started two days later, but the very fact that a country which for a quarter of a century has been successively ravaged by the Soviet occupation, a bloody civil war, and a theocratic dictatorship is now embarking on its very own democratic journey is an achievement in itself and a cause enough for celebration.
Getting to this point has not been easy, but Afghanistan slowly and steadily continues to achieve normalcy; mostly out of the media spotlight. Here are some stories of hope and promise that you might have missed over the last month while the mainstream media continued to focus on violence and mayhem, or not at all.

Continuing concerns about European economies sent gold prices up and pushed stock and oil prices down sharply on Friday. The euro currency also dropped sharply.
Debt problems in Greece and other nations have prompted governments to slash spending, which could slow economic growth.
Worried investors sold euros and sought the perceived safety of gold investments. The precious metal rose to a new record high of nearly $1,250 before declining.
Oil prices fell as traders calculated that slower economic growth would cut energy demand.
Those same concerns pushed the major French stock index down more than four percent and slashed Spanish stocks more than six percent.

All 16 members of President Donald Trump's Committee on the Arts and Humanities resigned on Friday morning. The group, which advises the President on cultural issues, was protesting at Trump's 'support of the hate groups and terrorist who killed and injured fellow Americans in Charlottesville.' Members include musician Paula Boggs, architect Thom Mayne, actor Kal Penn and author Jhumpa Lahiri.

Sad news with the loss of composers Pēteris Plakidis and Marian Varga, both on 8th August.
Pēteris Plakidis (1947–2017) was Latvian, a graduate from the Jāzeps Vītols State Conservatory in 1970, later teaching composition in the same institution (renamed to the Latvian Academy of Music). He was especially known for his Music for Piano, String Orchestra and Timpani; Variations for Orchestra, which won the Latvian Great Music Award; and his works written for various anniversaries of the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra.

Marian Varga (1947–2017) was Slovak. He studied piano and composition at the Bratislava Conservatory, eventually leaving to pursue his interest in rock music. With his group Collegium Musicum his music subsequently explored the interface between art and popular music, especially through his reinterpretations of music by classical composers such as Haydn, Bartók and Stravinsky, but also through original compositions. He was also known for his interest in improvisation.

September sees the return of Simon Rattle to London as LSO Music Director, an event that will be celebrated with a series of Barbican concerts that have contemporary music front and centre. Things kick off on 14th with a concert featuring composers associated with the conductor: Oliver Knussen, Harrison Birtwistle, Thomas Adès and, with a new piece that will open the concert, Helen Grime. Each of these featured composers then will curate their own concert as part of the celebration: Knussen on 16th, Adès on 18th, Grime on 20th and Birtwistle on 23rd. The repertoire on offer in these is pretty interesting, from Machaut and Byrd to Madness, Maw and Matthews.
September marks the end of the Proms season, the last night premiere this year being Lotta Wennäkoski's, Flounce on 9th. For those looking for something after this, there is the North Wales International Music Festival on 16th. Living composer represented include Rhian Samuel, Edward Gregson, Gavin Higgins, Robat Arwyn, Paul Mealor and Oliver Tarney. There will also be music by the festival's founder, William Mathias on 24th and 30th.
Overlapping with the end of the Proms season is the Ultima Festival in Oslo (7th–16th). It is Norway's biggest festival for contemporary music, making use of a number of big and small venues within the capital. The festival opens with a concert performance of Heiner Goebbels' Eislermaterial, a tribute to one of his great musical heroes, Hanns Eisler. Other highlights include a new installation Rats–Secret Soundscpres of the City by Jana Winderen from 6th–14th; Ballerina, a new chamber opera by Synne Skouen on 8th; and a multimedia theatre work Adventures in space and time by Norwegian performance group Verdensteatret from 8th–17th. The full programme is available, here.
Warsaw Autumn (14th–24th) is likewise Poland's most important contemporary music festival, this year celebrating its 60th season. The theme is the 'troubled' avant garde. It will explore artistic issues as they were at the time of the first Warsaw Autumns and as they are today, strands including 'the phenomenon of sonorism, the orchestra, the string quartet, song, instrumental theatre, electronics, and multimedia.' Composers whose music appeared at the first festivals—Tadeusz Baird, Wojciech Kilar, Andrzej Dobrowolski, Krzysztof Penderecki, Bogusław Schaeffer, Luigi Nono, Isang Yun—will be performed at this year's festival. These will be contrasted with works by younger and middle generation composers such as Pierre Jodlowski, Tadeusz Wielecki, Christophe Bertrand, Alexander Schubert, Brigitta Muntendorf, Johannes Kreidler, and Artur Zagajewski. The opening concert features Grisey's Le noir de l'étoile, Georg Friedrich Haas's Dark Dreams, as well as Tansy Davies's Forest and circulatio by Artur Zagajewski.
In Strasbourg Musica 2017 runs from 21st to 7th October. It opens with the French premiere of Michaël Levinas's La Passion selon Marc, une passion après Auschwitz (see video below), a work which examines the painfully irreconcilable character of the Passion and the Holocaust. As well as established works by living or recent composers, there are a number of world premieres. These include works by Bruno Mantovanni, Andy Emler, Zad Moultaka, Amadeus Regucera, Jean-Patrick Besingrand, Jeremías Iturra, Benoît Montambault and Raphaël Cendo.

Une passion après Auschwitz (2016) Michaël Levinas
After spilling more than a few column inches over the Tête à Tête Opera Festival I thought, today, that it was probably time to move on.
Then I came across a provocative article by Anne Midgette at the Washington Post entitled 'New opera wants the same appeal as television. If only it could be as smart.' It felt unnecessarily glum. In it she says (quotes in italics):
'When was the last time you came out of a new opera — or ANY opera — feeling that you had had a vital, exciting dramatic experience? When was the last time you felt you had lost yourself in another world?'
Last week, on a number of occasions. See my review. Whilst one of the operas I saw did not really qualify as a dramatic work and another was just ghastly, the other three ticked those boxes very nicely. I don't think she's necessarily wrong that some new operas are awful (weren't they always?—think how many old operas are now justifiably forgotten), it's just I don't think that they all are.
The idea shouldn't be "We have to find a good story and tell it through arias and ensembles." Rather, it's the arias and ensembles and other musical elements that create and define the "story." I love Verdi's "Il trovatore," but it's certainly not because of the plot.
I wonder of if Midgette's love of Il Trovatore, especially when set aside her recent review of The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, suggests that she might be missing something here? Music renders an undramatic opera lovable precisely because it can be enjoyed in its own right. I can't particularly see the harm in any contemporary composer writing an undramatic work with music so beguiling that it is as compelling as Il Trovatore. Her effusive praise of Mason Bates's score to The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, whilst simultaneously panning the drama, would seem to put that work precisely in the Il Trovatore tradition. Is that to be despised?
With the emphasis on telling stories, opera is in effect trying to set itself up as an alternative to television — which is only setting itself up for disappointment…But opera could learn things from contemporary television's success that could help make it more dramatically effective to a contemporary audience. One is not to remain fettered by formulas but, rather, to transform them, as television has reconceived the miniseries or the sitcom ("Veep").
I don't object to the idea that old conventions may be reimagined in order to make opera more relevant for modern audiences. But I don't buy into the idea that, on the one hand, composers are not already doing this—none of the operas I saw at Tête à Tête was conventional in its approach—or, on the other, that the older forms are inherently undramatic—plenty of recent composers have derived great dramatic impetus essentially working within them (Britten and Henze, for example). In this sense I'm not sure what television teaches us.
"We need to explore new ways of getting operas out there."
Here Midgette makes the point by quoting librettist Royce Vavrek, who is doing just what she is suggesting—using new approaches to get their works into the public domain. In this case, he is 'working on a series of short opera movies with several notable composers.' She also mentions Yuval Sharon's Hopscotch 'which played out in cars on the freeways of Los Angeles, with audience members as passengers.' To this I could add a composer friend of mine who wrote a rather brilliant pop-up opera sung spontaneously in a café, or the podcast opera and opera on a train at Tête à Tête. Not to mention the fact that operas are now regularly screened at cinemas and on television—I recently saw the Aix en Provence production of Bizet's Carmen in this way (great performance, strange production, I thought). In essence, again, I'm not sure what television is supposed to teach us. Opera has already moved with the times.
The truth, it seems to me, is not that the operas the Midgette has seen and disliked are insufficiently innovative. It is, rather, that they are not good operas. The old adage holds true: in opera, as in all types of art, there are only two types—good and bad. Innovation is not, in itself, a sign of relevance.
A short guide to the music of William Mathias, who died 25 years ago today.
I hail from the same part of the world as this most brilliantly communicative of composers. As with all who attended the old grammar school in the unexceptional town of Whitland, Carmarthenshire, I used to sing a work by Mathias at the beginning and end of every term, his School Song. Born in the town in 1934, Mathias had written the piece whilst a pupil at the school at the age of 11 or 12. It is a precocious work, with a shapely tune that comes to a rousing close, supported by effortlessly successful harmony. It is sad that, on turning comprehensive in 1989, the School Song, possibly Mathias's most performed work, was dropped.
The gusto with which normally unparticipative pupils sang Mathias's School Song suggests that his ability to communicate was an inherent part of his musical personality. It was a tendency that would eventually leave him, like Britten, at odds with the post-war avant-garde. Mathias was acutely aware of this. At the 1979 Menai Music Festival Lecture, he articulated his personal view that early twentieth-century innovations had led not, as some in the avant-garde believed, to a new unified system, but to the disintegration into various systems in which a composer should find his own place. It now seems obvious that this view was correct. As for his position in this pluralistic scene, in a BBC documentary devoted to his music, he railed against what he saw as the limited expressiveness of some twentieth-century music, which, he felt, sometimes gave the impression 'that music is there to talk insistently about tragedy, that it must always be unpleasant because that is the essence of our time.' He underlined this by going on to say that 'music...does many things: it can be tragic...[but]...it can also be extremely happy and it can be, in my view, an act of praise.'
These statements provide the key to understanding Mathias's music. The composer showed an uncanny knack for writing music of great range, both within pieces and between pieces, which nevertheless sounds like it is by the same person. By this I mean that he was just as capable of writing a good tune forged from tonal materials (though not actually using tonal procedures) as well as 'difficult' textures with high levels of chromatic density. As with the music of Benjamin Britten, this makes him a good starting point for those wishing to become accustomed to the sounds of new music. This was the function Mathias served for me as a teenager as I gradually got to know his music. It unlocked my ears, accustoming me to more adventurous sounds, which then allowed me to explore more experimental music.
The most familiar works by Mathias are his carol sequence Ave Rex, which includes the perennially popular Sir Christemas; A Babe is Born; and Let the People Praise Thee O God, the anthem written for the ill-fated wedding of Charles and Diana. All are rollicking pieces, superbly written for maximum tuneful effect. Whilst there are many other works in a similarly attractive style, Mathias also wrote more serious church music. There is the visionary and transportive As Truly as God is Our Father, the astringent Jesus College Service and the cerebral Four Latin Motets. There are three good discs for those who wish to explore this music: Christ Church Cathedral Choir conducted by Stephen Darlington on Nimbus, Wells Cathedral Choir and Matthew Owens on Hyperion and one released by the American choir Gloriae Dei Cantores, conducted by Elizabeth Patterson. My personal favourite, especially because of the immediacy of the recording, is Stephen Darlington and Christ Church. A better choice for newcomers, however, might be Matthew Owens and Wells Cathedral, since the disc also contains several of Mathias's organ works, including his catchy Processional. This provides a way into his substantial and serious organ works such as Berceuse, Antiphonies and Fenestra. These have been recorded both by John Scott on the organ of St. Paul's Cathedral on Nimbus and Reichard Lea (in a double disc survey of Mathias's complete organ output) on the organ of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral on Priory.
Mathias was also known for his large choral-orchestral works. One of these, World's Fire, is, sadly, unrecorded. This Worlde's Joie, Mathias's rumination on the seasons of the year and the stages of life, is available on Lyrita with an orchestral version of Ave Rex and his powerful setting of the thirteenth-century poem Elegy for a Prince. Perhaps his choral best (a phrase he himself used of the work) is, however, his Requiem Mass written in memory of his mother, Lux Aeterna. Whilst clearly deriving inspiration from Britten's War Requiem it is, in contrast, a work of extraordinary radiance. It is available in an electric performance with the LSO and Bach Choir conducted by Willcocks on Chandos. It is one of my most treasured recordings.
Mathias's output also includes a number of concertos, three symphonies and a wide variety of chamber music. Symphony No. 1 and Symphony No. 2 Summer Music are available on Nimbus with the BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra (now the BBC National Orchestra of Wales) under the baton of the composer. They make a fascinating pair. The first energetic and tuneful, the second dark and brooding. The years between the two symphonies were marked by orchestral works that Mathias called 'landscapes of the mind': Laudi, Vistas, Helios and Requeiscat. Helios and Requiescat, are available with the Third Symphony and Oboe Concerto, also with BBCNOW on Nimbus. Laudi and Vistas are available on Lyrita together with some early works -- Dance Overture, Divertimento for String Orchestra, Invocation and Dance and Sinfonietta -- that are both brilliantly written and outrageously good fun. The middle movement of the Harp Concerto shares both thematic material and the lamenting atmosphere of Elegy for a Prince, but is typically framed by two highly attractive and accessible movements. It is also available on Lyrita together with his Clarinet Concerto and the infectiously raucous Piano Concerto No. 3. For those interested in exploring Mathias's chamber music I recommend two discs: a recording of his three string quartets with the Medea Quartet on Metier and a disc that includes Mathias's Sonata No. 1 and No. 2 and Piano Trio on Koch.
This is a repost of a piece marking 20 years since the death of William Mathias.

The cast of Pterodactyls of Ptexas taking a bow.
My arrival at the first night of Tête à Tête coincided with a pop-up performance of Samuel Bordoli's Belongings, a work first performed on the Caledonian Sleeper train the night before the opening of the festival. Frustratingly, I only caught the closing bars, an experience that was almost exactly replicated on my second night, when I should have known better. If you're planning a visit to Tête à Tête, arrive early—you never know what treats they will lay on before the official performances start.
There were three operas on the first night, beginning with Stephen Deazley's Dr. Ferret's Bad Medicine, a riotous and brilliantly scored youth opera. Through a sequence of morality tales it outlined the many and various ways in which children are bad. Opera North Youth Chorus excelled themselves, their lusty choral singing providing the backbone to the work, as did Whitaker Mills as Dr. Ferret, who acted as ringmaster.
Liturgie was a very pointed contrast to the exuberance of Dr. Ferret, a stylised work that had its roots in the Ballets Russes. The austere coolness of Daniel Lee Chappell's music, aptly reminiscent, perhaps, of late Stravinsky, acted as a perfect foil to the ritualistic nature of the dance and the quite extraordinary costumes, (both recreated from the original Ballets Russes conception). The instrumental ensemble took a little while to warm up—I wondered whether they had had much time with the score beforehand—but the singers and dancers coped admirably with the many challenges of this tricky piece.
ID, Please has already won some notoriety given that the composer Soosan Lolavar, a British-Iranian passport holder, was almost unable to attend rehearsals of the work in the US during Trump's first 'Muslim Ban.' The story unfolds as a series of interrogations between a border guard and 'two' (for the shifting nature of their responses makes them universal) travellers. Though some of these encounters are wittily handled, all are fraught with confrontation. There is a lugubrious inevitability about the score, which unfolds from an imaginatively handled fantasy on one note. All three singers excelled themselves, especially Robert Raso, whose portrayal of the guard was both unnerving and sympathetic—one moment the angry protagonist, the next just another innocent caught in the system.
The second night began with The United Kingdom of Earth: A Brexit Opera, the piece that originally inspired me to make the long journey from Belgium to Tête à Tête. It was a horrible letdown. The premise, that at some point after leaving the EU the rest of the world is destroyed in some species of conflagration, is a promising one. We were treated, unfortunately, to something that barely rose above the level of a sixth-form play. The 'score', such as it was, was a poorly conceived electronic backing track turned up so loud one could barely hear what was happening on stage. A pianist added inane interjections. Apart from a genuinely funny cameo by an actor playing Boris Johnson, there was barely any singing and, when the dialogue was spoken, it was frequently read from ill-hidden scripts. The bawdiness of it all seemed relentlessly pointless and not at all sharp—we had a man masturbating at the appearance of the Queen, a dog humping a boy and a character pronouncing that he had 'three prepubescent girls locked in a cage in the cellar.' I guess the defence of this is that Brexit itself is amateurish, badly conceived and relentlessly dispiriting. I, however, found myself thinking that if this is best art that Brexit inspires, it is merely another tragedy to add to the mess that we are in.
A better lesson in foul-mouthedness was provided by Stephen Crowe's Pterodactyls of Ptexas, a smart masterclass in small opera. The scenario is not particularly original, but has a nice twist: love and loss in the Wild West with added pterodactyls (because, like Crowe, we all love pterosaurs). There were no props other than several chairs, a static back projection of a volcano, one pianist and an electronic score. It's sparse, but everything that it lacks is turned, often hilariously, into a plus. Credit to the actors/singers for this, many of the little details relied on their ability to time their actions with sound effects or simply to milk a comic situation. This they did with aplomb, at the same time coping with a score that was pretty fiendish. The best thing about the work was just how self-referential it was. The two female characters slugged it out for who was the lead, Fleur de Bray winning by the sheer prowess of her acting chops and scarily dependable coloratura. The poor Sheriff, meanwhile, was stuck with the hilarious aria: 'who the fuck wrote this libretto, where are all my lines?'
Tête à Tête continues until 13th August.
Tête à Tête kicks off tomorrow in London, running until 13th August. I've long wanted to experience the festival, probably the UK's liveliest forum for new opera, so am today heading to London for the first two days of the proceedings. The five operas I will be seeing give a fairly good idea of the sort of the range and relevance the festival offers.
Things kick off on Tuesday with Dr Ferret's Bad Medicine Roadshow. Inspired by Hilaire Belloc's Cautionary Tales for Children, it tells 'several stories of Matilda, whose lies ignited a terrible fire, Henry King who ate too much string, and George, a little boy who causes lot of trouble…' There then follows Litugie, a work that explores the story of the Virgin Mary in the realisation of a concept that actually began with Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes. The final work on the first day, is ID, Please, which addressed themes of immigration, identity and xenophobia in the age of Brexit and Trump. On Wednesday 26th is Pterodactyls of Ptexas, an electronic opera set in the Wild West. It features 'trigger-happy cowgirls, gyrating dinosaurs, and saloon brawls.' Then there is The United Kingdom of Earth: A Brexit Opera. I'm hoping that this might provide me with some light relief from the stresses of being British and living on the continent in uncertain times.
If these operas entice, then there is still time to get tickets for them. Alternatively, do take a look at the rest of the programme, which is stuffed full of similar delights. Also I should make mention of two pre-festival events that can be experienced today. There is Belongings, which is inspired by items of luggage carried by railway passengers and will receive its premiere on the Caledonian Sleeper as it makes its journey from Aberdeen to Eston Station tonight. There will also be pop-up performances of the work throughout the festival. Road Memoir, finally, is a free twelve episode podcast opera available today. It follows the story of a woman forced to flee her home, turning from citizen to refugee.
If the Last Night of the Proms was a focus of Brexit discontent in 2016, this year it was has been the been the first few nights. In the opening concert, Igor Levit performed Beethoven's Ode to Joy, the adopted anthem of the EU, as an encore (he was also sporting an EU badge on his lapel). If that wasn't enough, on the third night Daniel Barenboim made an impassioned humanitarian plea that appeared to be inspired by his opposition to Brexit.
Inevitably this has caused outrage in various wings of the press. Normal Lebrecht in the Spectator (reproduced on Slipped Disc) called the speech 'out of order', Stephen Pollard in the Telegraph called it 'deeply irritating.' The tabloids were rather more colourful, The Sun saying that 'Barenboim ranted against the UK leaving the EU and had a German orchestra play Elgar's Land of Hope of Glory in protest;' the Express, in a similar vein, saying that the BBC Proms had been 'hijacked by conductor's anti-Brexit rant.'
I have some sympathy for Lebrecht's take on the two events. He made a distinction between Levit's intervention, which was purely musical and hence acceptable, and Barenboim's which could more easily be said to have overstepped the mark. Similarly, despite Barenboim's protestations that his speech was not political—he didn't once mention Brexit— Pollard was right to observe that 'you'd have to be verbally tone deaf not to get what he meant.'
Despite this, however, it is not unfair to say that Barenboim's words were only rendered controversial in the context in which he said them, that context being Brexit. A plea for greater education, for more European unity and for us to fight against extremism seems a fairly reasonable one for any person, including a musician, to make at any time. If he had said similar words at the Proms before 2016, I don't think anyone would have remarked much upon them. That they are controversial now is another rather worrying sign of the times.
Daniel Barenboim's speech:
The PRS Composers' Fund aims to support the creative and professional development of talented composers by offering direct access to funding at pivotal stages in their careers. The fund offers £150,000 annually to support composers and enable them to realise projects and ambitions that may not be possible through traditional commissioning models.
The ten composes who will receive funding from PRS to support their various projects in 2017 are: Philip Cashian, Mark Bowden, Charlotte Bray, Sadie Harrison, Arlene Sierra, Julian Anderson, Naomi Pinnock, Emily Howard, Raymond Yiu, Roberto David Rusconi. Many congratulations to them!
You can see the many admirable ways in which they will use their funding, here.
If you wish to apply for the next round of funding, the deadline is Autumn of this year.
Christian Morris talks to Till Janczukowicz, the CEO and founder of Idagio, a new music-streaming app dedicated to classical music that has some intriguing possibilities for composers.
What is Idagio?
It is a reaction to more than 20 years of pain. I have been lucky and privileged to always do what I wanted to do. I managed great musicians - conductors such as Seiji Ozawa and Christian Thielemann - I helped young talents start their career - like Arcadi Volodos and Juraj Valcuha - and produced concerts and recordings in all parts of the world. What I learnt is: every musician, every composer, young and unknown, famous and established - every musician has relevance for a certain public. The question is not 'is it relevant?' but 'for whom it is relevant?' It comes down to how can music be made available, when is the right moment to make it available, what is the right channel to make it available and to whom can it be made available?
Look at what technology does in other areas of our daily life, look at Airbnb, look at Uber: technology helps connect supply and demand in a new way. More direct. This is exactly what classical music needs. A platform that manages processes in a smarter, faster and more efficient way than we used to manage them before. Or, to put it simply: the best streaming service for classical music. A service that understands the difference between composers, their works, conductors, orchestras, soloists and so on and that connects music directly to any smartphone and streaming device in the world. Idagio is a streaming service that helps musicians, composers and labels on one side and audiences on the other better reach out to each other. We have built our own technology as a base for what many already call "the best search in classical music."

This evening, I am focusing on the town of Strathpeffer in the Highlands of Scotland which is situated 20 miles N.W. of Inverness, near the Cromarty Firth.
Facts and information on Strathpeffer:-
- Name is derived from P-Celtic ( Welsh) and means 'Vale of Radiant Stream'.
- Despite relatively high altitude Strathpeffer is sheltered by nearby hills and benefits from a warm, dry micro-climate.
- Nearby was fought two clan battles in the 15th century in which theMackenzies emerged victorious:
- Battle of Blar Na Pairce, 1486
- Battle of Drumchatt, 1497.
- Sulphurous springs were discovered in the 18th century the perceived health benefits of which were utilised in Victorian times to develop the town into a Spa resort, aided by a railway connection.
- As will be evident from the images herein, Strathpeffer retains much of its Victorian era architecture and 'feel'.
- Strathpeffer boasts numerous hotels and other accommodations, a golf course and vibrant music scene.
- Tourism underpins the local economy.
- Population is about 1500.
Overall, Strathpeffer impresses as being clean and prosperous in a stunning Highland setting with Ben Wyvis (3433 ft) in the background.

text: Now with almost 1000 miles on the Model X have to mention my favorite feature. The vehicle drives great, the falcon wing doors are a show stopper and do make lot easier enter and exit, vehicle grips pavement like no large vehicle I have ever drive. And I think it looks wonderful, our Metallic Pearl White in sunshine really pops. But I absolutely love the panoramic windshield, to drive it in a rainstorm like being in a jet cockpit. I am now disappointed when get in any other car, including our MS even with large moonroof but without large windshield. So great work Elon and your design team. I used to say would never buy another ICE vehicle, now also say will never buy vehicle with ordinary size front windshield.

With all due respect to our fellow Cravers, we weren't exactly huge fans of speakers recently incarnated as penguins and hogs. It's just that they seemed so ... predictable.
But how often do you see stuffed animals with their own working headphones? Now that's original. The 'phones, in this case, are actually speakers that connect to your MP3 player. These iFlops come in a menagerie of bears, elephants, frogs, pigs and monkeys, as seen in this photo from Chip Chick. No penguins, though. (Sorry, Caroline.)

Now we're cooking with fire. There is something primal about preparing your food over an open flame. The wood cook stove is the somewhat modern equivalent of an open fire for cooking in your house. The previous owners of the Little Blue House said that they used the cook stove up until their last stay in the house, over 3 years ago.
As I've said in a previous post, these stoves were manufactured in the late 1800s by the Tinnerman Steel Range Company in Cleveland, Ohio. Check out the turn-of-the-century advertisement for the range below:
Our cook stove needed a new gasket, and a good cleaning. Also, the chimney was topped with - you guessed it - a bucket. I got a conical hat for the chimney, to replace the bucket. My dad and I got up there on the roof and installed it atop the chimney. The chimney itself looks to be in really good shape, as it was replaced about 7 years ago with a modern double-walled version.

If you thought serving a Thanksgiving dinner was difficult, imagine going without food or water for 24 hours -- then having to feed a whole crowd of people who are just as hungry.
That's the plight of the Yom Kippur host, who must go home from the synagogue and serve a groaning board of food.
Planning a menu that can be on the table in 20 minutes is the trick. The secret is to mix store-bought foods with some made ahead.

President Obama's decision to skip two Asia-Pacific summits this week to deal with the U.S. government shutdown and threatened debt default allowed Chinese leaders to strut the world stage as regional superpower envoys and have their way on critical issues.
Maritime disputes in the East and South China seas have poisoned relations among half a dozen members of the Assn. of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, which met on the Indonesian island of Bali this week, then joined the U.S., Russia and other regional powers in Brunei for the annual East Asia Summit.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang told the Brunei gathering Thursday that "positive, steady progress" was being made on a legally binding code of conduct to manage disputes in the South China Sea, where Beijing claims sovereignty over its islands, rich fisheries and energy resources.
Li also said that freedom of navigation through the disputed seas "has never been an issue and will never be one."
But in a pointed warning to the United States, Li said countries not directly involved in the territorial dispute should stay out of it.

Russell Brand's Xmas single
- Bang Showbiz
- 21 December 2008
Controversial British comic star Russell Brand has revealed he wants to record a Christmas song with the Jonas Brothers
Russell Brand wants to record a Christmas song with the Jonas Brothers.
The controversial comic star, who mocked the musical trio for wearing purity rings when he hosted the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this year, insists he respects the group and is keen to work with them.
Russell said: "I'm only just mucking about with the things I say. When some people took it seriously, it was surprising.
"I haven't seen them since, but I love them little guys. I've got nothing against the Jonas Brothers as a concept. I love the idea.
"One of the things on my to-do list for 2009 is to perhaps a Christmas song with the Jonas Brothers."
Russell sparked outrage by making several outlandish remarks at the September awards show - including ridiculing the band for abstaining from sex before marriage and branding US President George Bush a "retarded cowboy".

20 Reasons to Drink ZIJA
Reasons to Drink Zija
By Dr. Russ Bianchi, Zija Formulator
1. ZIJA NOURISHES THE BODY'S IMMUNE SYSTEM. The body's complex immune system is comprised of several organs, and trillions of cells, all requiring nutrients from caloric intake to function correctly and properly. Zija's Moringa Oleifera provides many dozens of these nutrients, including vitamins, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, minerals, and essential amino acids.
2. ZIJA PROMOTES HEALTHY CIRCULATION. Significant research on the ingestion of Moringa oleifera in humans strongly suggests that it can help support both health and function of the circulatory, blood, and the cardiovascular systems.
3. ZIJA IS 100% BIOAVAILABLE. Unlike many popular fruit juice blends that are heavily pasteurized, artificially modified, colored or flavored, Zija uses only all-natural ingredients truly found in nature for an optimum and pristine blend to truly benefit health.
4. ZIJA SUPPORTS NORMAL BLOOD GLUCOSE. Today's standard diet is the main contributor to the explosion of diabetes in developed countries. Zija provides a wide array of nutrients that help normalize blood glucose levels within the body. Also, Zija is sweetened with only pure cane sugar which, unlike most concentrated and nutrient-deficient sugars widely used in today's food industry, does not contribute to unhealthy blood glucose levels.
5. ZIJA IS ENZYMATICALLY ALIVE. Scientific research strongly suggests mitochontrial sirtuins (a group of enzymes) that exist in every cell are the master regulators that divert energy into cellular preservation. Moringa Oleifera is very rich in such enzymes, which are unmodified, or unharmed, when you drink Zija.
6. ZIJA DELIVERS Z-ATIN. Zija Z-ATIN is a remarkable combination of the five constituent parts of the Moringa oleifera that work synergistically to deliver the most important nutrients from the plant and to improve absorption and utilization of Zija's impressive nutrient profile. Z-ATIN includes: A: Zeatin, a potent antioxidant; B) Quercitin, a flavonoid known for its ability to neutralize free radicals and relieve inflammation; C) Beta-Sitosterol, a nutrient superstar that blocks "bad" (for LDL) cholesterol formation for build-up and is an anti-inflammatory agent for the body; D) Caffeoylquinic Acid, another powerful anti-inflammatory compound for body benefit; and E) Kaempferol, a key nutrient that promotes healthy body cellular function.
7. ZIJA IS SUPPORTED BY MODERN SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS. Current research, consisting of many highly reputable medical, science, and globally recognized health institutions, suggests that Moringa oleifera possesses numerous therapeutic properties for proper health. Among these institutions are Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the World Health Organization, the Center For Disease Control, and the National Institutes of Health.
8. ZIJA PROVIDES NATURAL ANTI-AGING BENEFITS. Zija's wide array of antioxidant nutrients, which include Zeatin, Quercetin, Omega-3, Fatty Acids, and vitamins, can protect the body's cells and prevent many of the common conditions associated with aging.
9. ZIJA DELIVERS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SUPPORT. Scientists now point to inflammation as a primary contributor to many of today's most common diseases, including cancers, cardiovascular disease, dementia, depression, arthritis, attention deficit disorders, diabetes, obesity, and many more. Several compounds in the Moringa plant, include Quercetin and Caffeoylquinic Acid, are known to support normal anti-inflammatory activity in the body.
10. ZIJA BOOSTS REAL KINESIOLOGICAL ENERGY SAFELY. Zija provides improved mental and cognitive clarity via many amino acids and B vitamins and therefore is the preferred non-addictive choice of the majority of those seeking initial and sustained all-natural benefits.
11. ZIJA IS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS SAFE (GRAS). There are no harmful ingredients in Zija. Zija is also Circle U Kosher & Parve, Hasidic Approved, and hypo (non) allergenic. Zija's Moringa is grown to the highest standards available for assured, consistent, empirical-quality delivery of all nutrients.
12. ZIJA IMPROVES YOUR METABOLISM. Moringa oleifera's nutrient benefits in Zija provide a gentle nudge over time to improve the body's metabolic processes because of the wide and critical nutrients being delivered. Science has repeatedly shown that such vitamins, minerals, and nutrients act as catalysts for body function benefits, and disease is minimized when such nutrients are present."A can or pack of Zija per day helps you remain happy, healthy, and ready to play!"
13. MORINGA OLEIFERA IN ZIJA HAS A LONG AYURVEDIC HISTORY. Historical and medical texts indicate that eastern Ayurvedic healers have employed the Moringa plant for many thousands of years, from conditions ranging from digestive complaints to arthritis. Combined with modern-day scientific support, this anecdotal evidence provides a powerful affirmation of Moringa's therapeutic abilities.
14. ZIJA IS TRULY SCIENCE, NOT FICTION. Zija is made to the highest standards, offering the nutrients from the five parts of the Moringa plant. To get these many nutrients in a totally bioavailable form from any other dietary supplement, food, beverage, combination of herbs, fruit, vegetable, other botanical, over-the-counter brand, or even a prescription medication simply does not exist.
15. ZIJA IS EASILY ABSORBABLE. Zija is designed to be absorbed in as quickly as 20 minutes from ingestion. Of course the amount of Zija to consume depends on specific factors such as the individual, predispositions, time, and caloric or exercise regiments, all of which could influence results. In tracking millions of servings of Zija consumed, typically at least 86 out of every 100 consumers report a positive effect in their lifestyle with Zija.
16. ZIJA SUPPLIES NUTRIENTS MISSING IN THE MODERN DIET. Today's western diet has double the caloric intake of a consumer in 1965 and we are receiving 75% less nutrient value for current calories consumed. Seeking daily, quality nutrient supplementation is no longer an option but a requirement for health. Zija provides these nutrient benefits.
17. THE MOST NUTRIENT-RICH PLANT EVER DISCOVERED. Many experts feel that Moringa oleifera boasts the widest array of vital nutrients of any botanical known on this planet. There are dozens of nutrient values in Moringa oleifera and in each can of Zija, including, but not limited to, Beta-Sitosterol, several B Vitamins, Vitamins C, D-3, E, Calcium, Selenium, Magnesium, all the essential Amino Acids, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Chlorophyll, Flavonoids, Lutein, and many others. Zija is a power-packed super beverage like no other!
18. ZIJA IS CONVENIENT. Zija is the perfect answer for today's hectic and busy lifestyles. Zija is conveniently portable and user-friendly. A serving of Zija per day for most folks is all you need!
19. ZIJA BUILDS HEALTHY BODIES. It has been anecdotally reported that Zija has improved health across the globe. Whether involved with competitive sports, regular physical training, or just simple recovery from injury, Zija gets you there faster and safer for all ages.
20. ZIJA IS AFFORDABLE. As Zija's formulator, I came to this product not knowing if I could even achieve an efficacious beverage. I must tell you that Zija has become one of my crowning achievements toward the betterment of health for all. Can any of us put a price on good health? Zija delivers and works where other products simply do not.

Australian spin legend Shane Warne and Michael Clarke are all for a Twenty20 showdown when they lead their respective teams in an All-Star match in Brisbane on Sunday.
Warne will captain the Australian Cricketers' Association All-Star XI, while Clarke, who has recovered from a nagging back problem, will play his first Twenty20 match since being appointed the national T20 captain by leading a KFC-sponsored Australian squad.
"For what promises to be a fantastic opening to the Australian international season, the National Selection Panel has picked a very exciting team to take on the Johnnie Walker ACA All Stars in the game on Sunday," Cricket Australia NSP Chairman Andrew Hilditch said in a statement.
"In selecting the team we have not considered any of the Test players who have been heavily involved in the recent one-day campaign in India to allow them to prepare for the first Test.
"The side does however feature Michael Clarke in his first Twenty20 game since being named captain, Brad Haddin and Peter Siddle as these players have not had the same amount of cricket as the other Test players leading into Brisbane," he added.
Hilditch said the match will also serve as good preparation for next year's Twenty20 World Cup.
"While the emphasis will be on entertainment, the NSP sees the game as a great opportunity to continue our preparation for the ICC World Twenty20 in the West Indies next year," Hilditch said.
The star-studded ACA All Star team has retired legends like Adam Gilchrist and Glenn McGrath.
"We are honoured that four legends of the game in Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden and Glenn McGrath have made themselves available and have no doubt they will shine for the All Stars," ACA President Darren Lehmann said.
Both teams will be allowed 12 players, however, only 11 will bat and 11 are available to bowl.
The KFC sponsored Australian squad: Michael Clarke (c), Cameron White (vc), George Bailey, Brad Haddin, David Hussey, Andrew McDonald, Clint McKay, Peter Siddle, Steven Smith, Shaun Tait, Adam Voges, David Warner.
The Johnnie Walker ACA All Star Team: Shane Warne (c), Travis Birt, Lee Carseldine, Adam Gilchrist, Daniel Harris, Matthew Hayden, Jason Krejza, Rhett Lockyear, Graham Manou, Glenn McGrath, Nathan Reardon, Nathan Rimmington.

Bangalore: After Rahul Gandhi`s condemnation of Shiv Sena and BJP over force-feeding of a fasting Muslim, BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi today put the onus on the Congress saying some of the MPs were staying in Maharashtra Sadan because Congress legislators have not vacated their accommodation after poll defeat.
"Those MPs who are staying in these Bhavans are staying there because their rightful accommodation has not been vacated by some of the leaders of Congress who have lost the elections."
"So, I think the root cause of all these problems is the Congress, and Rahul Gandhi would do well to go to the root and correct the system," she told reporters at event organised by NASSCOM here.
Asked to comment on the incident that has sparked outrage, Gandhi told reporters at Amethi "It is the ideology of BJP and Shiv Sena. Politics of bullying people is what they do. This is extremely damaging to the country and this what we fight against everyday. "
Referring to the incident, Lekhi said "Since the appointment has been made by the NCP-Congress government in Maharashtra, I think the ownership of this particular incident also lies with the Congress for appointing those officers who do not do their work properly."
"I am sure that Sena did not know that person was on the fast. And if bad food is being served under the supervision of an officer what should remedy be?" Lekhi added.
Lekhi said,"hyping of an issue on any of these lines shows the ideology of the Congress which works on the lines that the administration will not do its job and will feed people with the bad food."
On Gandhi accusing the Narendra Modi government of doing nothing to control prices, Lekhi said the Congress Vice President has forgotten the price of onions shooting up to nearly Rs 100 during UPA rule.
"What price rise the gentleman is talking about? I think he has forgotten that the price of onion around this lean period between two crops went up to Rs 80 and Rs 100 when they were in power," she said.
Moreover, for the first time in the history of the country a certain sum has been kept aside in the budget for maintaining the prices in the market, she said.
"The kind of aggressive stance the government has taken to keep the prices under control, and while they would rise to Rs 80 or Rs 100, it is around Rs 30 to Rs 32," she said.
On the Leader of the Opposition post (LOP) controversy, the BJP MP said, "The people of this country have not given the mandate (for the Congress) to lay claim to LOP post. Now, Parliament itself will not grant right which the people of this country had not given."
The Congress is not eligible as it does not have the required 10 per cent (55 seats) in the 543-member Lok Sabha, Lekhi said. "The Congress has only 44 seats," she added.
"What is so special about LOP which they (Congress) are fighting for because when Jawaharlal Nehru was the PM there were instances where there was no LOP. Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi did not appoint any LOP. Then what LOP they are talking about?" she questioned.
In a setback to Congress which has been fighting for the Leader of Opposition post, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi has opined that it is not eligible and there is no precedent since the days of the first Lok Sabha to grant the post to a party which does not have the minimum required MPs.
Lashing out at the Congress, Lekhi said "Only when they (Congress) are in Opposition they know what is right and what is wrong, and when they are in government they flout rules and laws," she added.
