In the first edition of his autobiography 'Loosing My Virginity' Richard Branson claimed to have been personally involved in the design of the now legendary Virgin scrawl Logo. While his story has changed over time, he still claims that the conception of this iconic corporate identity involved a napkin in a restaurant, and that he was involved in the process.
However, the current description in Wikipedia, which I believe was edited by Simon Draper, comes closer to the truth. After experimenting with several alternate short-lived Virgin label designs in 1975 and 1976, the current Virgin logo (known informally as "the scrawl") was created in 1978, commissioned by Simon Draper, then managing director of Virgin Records Limited. Brian Cooke of Cooke Key Associates commissioned a graphic designer to produce a stylized signature. The logo was first used on Mike Oldfield's Incantations album in 1978 and by the Virgin Records label exclusively until gradually other parts of the Virgin Group adopted it, including Virgin Atlantic Airlines.
Well, Simon Draper did indeed commission Cooke Key Associates, who were Virgin's design agency at the time, to come up with designs for a new logo. It was March 1978 and we had just redesigned our own logo, which is shown here. At a meeting about the label's logo Simon remarked on how much he liked ours and maybe we could look at doing something similar for Virgin. The Cooke Key logo was our concept, which in truth was inspired by a lithograph by the famous Dutch graphic artist M.C.Escher, which depicts two hands drawing each other with pencils.
I may have been away for some part of the process as I have no recollection to support or challenge the memories of two others who were involved. First Tony Hutchinson says "I was the third director of 'Cooke Key' at this time – brought in to free up Brian Cooke and Trevor Key to concentrate on their first loves photography. I along with Trevor took the brief from Richard Branson at our regular monday morning marketing meeting over breakfast in the Portobello Hotel. On returning to the studio we decided to brainstorm the project at our favourite creative lunch venue, the local 'Pizza Express' close to the British Museum. Present I think were the usual gang Brian and Trevor, John Varnom and John Ayton and myself. Between us we knew Virgin well. We all saw it as a dynamic young personality led business, a family with Richard at the head and our thoughts honed in on the idea of a signature, as if penned by Richard himself. I recall trevor doodling a 'Virgin' on a napkin which I took back to the studio. (Tony may not have been privy to Simon Draper's suggestion of it looking like our Cooke Key logo, may have forgotten about it or may even have not joined us at that stage.)
That afternoon, Trevor and myself with Hillary Goodwright, who was one of our designers, spent our time signing A4 sheets of paper with Virgin signatures. We used ball point, fountain and calligraphic pens, magic markers and anything and everything we could find to sign with. We enlarged and reduced on the 'grant'. The best we put up on the studio walls. The chosen one just shone out as good designs do, and looked remarkably like that original doodle by Trevor. I remember tweaking the final version, slightly narrowing the angle on the V and adjusting the inter-character spacing. Trevor and I presented the idea to Richard in his office and I started the presentation by laying down the napkin, followed by applications such as the circular labels on vinyl and a range of stationery. Richard liked it, however, soon after the presentation he wanted to see more ideas. We presented new ideas monthly for the next 6 months and I must say nothing came close to the simple beauty and strength of the signature. Time constraints mainly caused by the twins logo looking increasingly dated pressurised Richard into re-looking at the first idea, the signature. We visualised many applications of the logo applying it to the other virgin divisions and re-presented to Richard. We got the approval to proceed to artwork.
It was only at this point we brought in Ray Kite as an illustrator/typographer to create a range of three masters which would reproduce at 6 to 24 point, 24 to 240 point and finally for larger applications. He had no involvement in its conception. As for inspiration, the claim that it came from Ray Kite's identity for Cooke Key was certainly not the case in my mind, I was not a part of Cooke Key at its inception. For me the inspiration came from that creative lunch and the tuned understanding we had of 'Virgin' the company and for Richard himself."
However John Ayton, our accountant and some time conceptual conspirator and male model remembers, "As I recall, as I think you do, Simon Draper spoke to Trevor about wanting to create a new logo for the Virgin Label and said in passing that he liked the signature style of Cooke Key Associates; Trevor arranged for some mock ups to be created by Ray Kite (who had designed CKA's logo) and Trevor presented them to a meeting on Branson's barge, where the idea was accepted and then developed by CKA. I billed the design in its required applications for £2,000 to Virgin Records (without any specified usage – whoops!) and Ray Kite was paid £250 for the calligraphy. Richard reinvented, we assume by way of poor recall, the events of that meeting in the first edition of his autobiography, suggesting he had come up the idea. Characteristically, there were "no flies on him" to dispute this claim. I remember you telling me that Ray Kite was upset at this misrepresentation and had contacted you – and after some discourse, Richard rewrote the event in the revised edition."
Being photographers we had commissioned graphic designer, Ray Kite of Mind's Eye, to undertake the calligraphy for the Cooke Key name and airbrushing for the pencil to our design concept. Once it had been decided, by whatever process, how our new Virgin logo would look, we briefed Ray to undertake calligraphy which really emphasised the V of Virgin, making it a tick, a strong mark of approval. He produced a number of alternatives on water-colour paper, which we had specified so that the edges would be broken, making for an undisciplined feel.
We decided on which we liked the best and I photographed the original onto 5"x4" black & white film. From this tone negative, shown above, I made a high contrast positive by 'contact' printing, and then a high contrast negative, shown below on the left. After some retouching I then made a high contrast positive, below right, by the same means.
This positive was again contact printed onto lith film to give us the final negative from which prints would be made to produce the artwork. This final negative is shown below.
We then passed this over to our paste-up artists who made mock-ups of the label using the new logo and we submitted them to Simon who approved the design and commissioned the artwork. On delivery of the finished artwork back to Simon, I clearly remember him saying that we should hold on, as he had better get it approved by Richard.
When the use of the logo started to spread, first to the Virgin Records' corporate identity and then to Virgin Retail, we said nothing as Virgin was still Cooke Key's main customer and we did not want to rock the boat. By the time it spread further Cooke Key had disbanded and all evidence of our work on the logo had disappeared, so it became impossible to prove the issue one way or another. However, I have recently discovered the original negatives and positives that I made in the process of designing the logo, which clearly demonstrate our provenance.
There is a postscript to this story in that in February 2014 I travelled to America for the first time and we flew with Virgin Atlantic. We were set to fly at night and I knew the Aurora Borealis was very active at the time, so I made sure we had seats on the right hand side by a window. The Northern Lights are a phenomenon that both my wife and I have on our list of things to see so we were delighted when just south of Greenland they duly appeared. In truth they were very pale but fortunately I had my new Nikon Df with me, which has a fantastically sensitive chip, which allowed me to take the picture below.
My music business pictures are available at Getty Images and on my own website briancooke.com. A lot of my/our (Cooke Key) Virgin Records work can be seen here.

Not So Disney
Little did we know when we last minute booked our trip to Disney this morning that the Caribbean Beach Resort's pool was under construction. Even after we arrived and were checking in was no mention made. It was only after we walked to our room did we notice that the main pool was covered in tarps and under construction.
The whole reason we chose to come here today after our perfect honeymoon to Bermuda was ruined was because we both knew Disney was a no brainer. Their reputation for service and excellence is unquestioned. Yet no one mentioned the pool to us. A key component to our vacation was the sun, whether it be through a beach or pool. Not at the Caribbean.
You would think that they would be more hospitable and allow their guests to use another resort's pool.
So much for coming through. We have called their hotline and have been told that there is nothing they can do. Not even help us change resorts. No, we have been told that our best bet is to complain to our resort, which we will do.
Again, thanks Disney.
Not impressed with my first stay here...

text: My birthday falls just 2 short months after Isla, so my first birthday as a mom was a lot of mixed emotions. I felt the happiest I'd ever felt having just become a mom, but also felt a bit lost and filled with some post partum blues. Of course the celebration was great and I was lucky enough to take a few days away in the sun. But it was hard to shake the feeling of just not being "myself". I had yet to get used to my new "identity" as a mom and was still clinging to my old identity pre-baby. Thankfully my husband made the day very special and was so understanding while I got through this weird hormonal time.

On 1st December, the Metropolitan BanCO2 was launched, a scheme of payments for environmental services that has reached almost all the departments of Colombia and that this time reaches the urban area thanks to the Andean Forests Program that runs in Antioquia through the interinstitutional alliance between the Aburrá Valley Metropolitan Area, the Medellín Botanical Garden and the Masbosques Corporation.
During the central event of the launch of the Metropolitan BanCO2, about 200 people participated, including prominent businessmen from the region, mayors and executives of the main environmental authorities of Antioquia.
Jaime Andrés García, executive director of Masques, opened the event by highlighting the participation of the Andean Forests Program in this initiative which seeks to guarantee the protection of ecosystems.
In addition, Eugenio Prieto, director of the Metropolitan Area, highlighted the importance of this scheme of conservation that has within its objectives to improve the quality of life of people who live in and protect these ecosystems.
This initiative seeks to bring the business sector closer to environmental sustainability alternatives and to show the benefits of measuring and offsetting the carbon footprint in their institutions. Soon the progress of the implementation of Metropolitan BanCO2 will continue to be disseminated.

Somers v. Digital Realty Trust, Inc., __ F. 3d __, No. 15-17352 (9th Cir. Mar. 8, 2017), held that the Dodd-Frank Act enables a "whistleblower" to sue his/her company for vindictive termination even if she or he did not report the supposed infraction to the Securities and Exchange Commission. This has 3 instant effects:.
It expands the direct exposure for public business and expert companies dealing with them (such as auditors, accounting professionals and lawyers) based in the Ninth Circuit, which covers 9 US states consisting of California.
It increases the rewards to put systems in place to avoid retaliation versus whistleblowers and.
It broadens a split in between the courts on translating the Dodd-Frank Act, which increases the likelihood the Supreme Court will deal with the issue.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) consists of arrangements assisting in the reporting of prospective securities law infractions including public business through internal channels. For instance, public business Audit Committees need to preserve internal compliance systems that consist of treatments for staff members to anonymously report issues, and the SEC provided guidelines needing internal reporting by legal representatives working for public business. SOX likewise secures staff members who report offenses.
In Lawson v. FMR LLC, 134 S.Ct. 1158 (2014), the Supreme Court held that the term "staff member" in SOX uses not just to workers of public business, but likewise covers workers of personal professionals and subcontractors that carry out services for public business. This judgment offered a strong reward for personal companies that offer services to public business to put systems in place to avoid retaliation versus whistleblowers.
The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted in 2008, broadened upon SOX by including Section 21F to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Subsection (h) of Section 21F, "Protection of Whistleblowers," restricts companies from releasing, benching, suspending, threatening, pestering, or otherwise victimizing a whistleblower bank for taking particular legal acts. An individual declaring discharge or other discrimination in retaliation for taking any of these acts might take legal action against in federal court and get broad relief.
The Somers choice
Somers was a vice president of a public company who presumably reported possible securities law infractions to senior management. Among the acts providing Dodd-Frank whistleblower defense under Section 21F is making the disclosures needed by SOX, which secures those reporting securities laws infractions through internal channels. But Section 21F likewise specifies the word "whistleblower" to need a person to supply info about an offense to the SEC, and Somers had actually refrained from doing that before being fired. Hence, the issue was whether that the complainant did not report to the SEC implied he was not a "whistleblower" and thus might not take legal action against under Dodd-Frank.
A divided Ninth Circuit held that reporting to the SEC is not needed. The bulk viewpoint reasoned the case "needs to be seen versus the background of twenty-first century statutes to suppress securities abuses," beginning with SOX. The anti-retaliation arrangement in Section 21F describes SOX disclosure requirements and defenses, and hence always covers those individuals who report infractions to in charge or through other internal channels as motivated by SOX, even if those "whistleblowers" do not likewise report the offenses to the SEC.
As the court put it: "Leaving workers without defense for that needed initial action would lead to early retaliation before the details might reach the regulators," which would not make good sense. Permitting such a person to take legal action against under the Dodd-Frank Act would not render the preexisting SOX solutions unnecessary, as some staff members may be much better off taking legal action against under SOX instead of under Dodd-Frank.
Under SOX and Lawson, public business and the personal companies that supply services to public business currently have rewards to put systems in place to avoid retaliation versus whistleblowers. As an outcome of Somers, those companies based in the Ninth Circuit now have an even higher reward to keep such systems: the Dodd-Frank Act likewise uses where, as prevails, a staff member reports prospective offenses internally but does not go to the SEC.
This growth of prospective liability is very important because Dodd-Frank provides higher direct exposure than SOX in 2 aspects: a considerably longer statute of restrictions and higher damages. A SOX complainant might recuperate back pay and all relief essential to make the staff member whole, while Dodd-Frank permits recovery of double back pay.
Somers likewise expands a split amongst the courts on the issue of whether the Dodd-Frank Act needs a worker to report an infraction to the SEC in order to take legal action against the company. The Second Circuit and Fifth Circuit currently had actually reached different results on this issue. The Ninth Circuit reached the very same result as the Second Circuit, but on a different legal reasoning. The legal concerns here include intricate matters of statutory analysis and deference to administrative firms that crossed ideological lines and are tough to forecast.

Nigel is starting a new career!
After working in Sales for many years on commission based jobs, Nigel decided he didn't want to pursue that career anymore. The pressure of constant sales meant he wanted to try something different.
Having always enjoyed hands-on work, especially decorating and general painting, Nigel took a liking to the construction industry. Although he lives in Basingstoke, he decided to complete his training at Able Skills. He chose us here in Dartford due to the videos he saw of our centre from YouTube.
You must be thinking; how does he travel each morning?
Nigel is currently staying in a local pub that a lot of our students use nearby. This was because our accommodation was fully booked, so we recommended the Sir John Franklin pub. He has thoroughly enjoyed his stay there so far.
He is coming towards the end of his first week of the multi craft course he is completing. Nigel decided he didn't want to focus on just one trade, so he book our multi craft course. During this he is completing two weeks of decorating, two weeks of plumbing and two weeks of carpentry.
Starting a new career is quite a daunting prospect, however, Nigel has seen his wife grow her own business in the last few years. This has given him the confidence to go out and begin his own business with his new skills.
Nigel already has worked available with lots of family and friends wanting his services after just one week of training!
After the completion of his course he plans to go straight out to work and start building his confidence. Although, he did mention that he may take some trades for further training and may even take a tiling course.
When we asked how his course had gone this week he couldn't praise the training and his tutor enough. Mark, our decorating instructor, has been excellent during his training. Nigel was extremely pleased with his teaching style and always being there to help but also letting him get on.
Nigel has completed so fantastic work already this week and he is looking forward to the remainder of his course. We would like to wish him the best of luck for the rest of his course.
If you are interested in beginning a new career, contact us today on 0808 100 3245!

Harga kamera SLR Canon diatas dapat berubah sewaktu-waktu, sesuai dengan kondisi pasar untuk kamera SLR yang ada di Indonesia. The image processing is lightning quick and you can snap up to six frames per second at full resolution, which is great for the outside photography that this camera is suited to. Like all the competitors, this camera shoots full 1080p high definition video, along with your option of frame price. Writer Fox, I gave the camera to my wife tonight as an early present so she could have it to take photos over the holidays. The bestest camera in this value variety I have ever perform buddies it's an really awesome camera and it really is touch screen produced it far more easy. As you may anticipate, we at present have s inexpensive digital camera that is not really very good.
Canon's Rebel DSLR cameras have been well-liked for more than a decade among these searching for a initial advanced interchangeable lens camera. A great advantage of SLR cameras is that you can alter the lens and use diverse lenses like Zoom Lens, Telephoto Lens, Wide Angle Lens and so on. In addition to the pentaprism viewfinder, one of the crucial characteristics of any digital SLR camera is the ability to adjust lenses. Now you can capture spectacular photos using the kind of digital and optical technologies that experts use, but with no the complications and calculations that SLR photography once necessary. The large LCD screen is nice, and I actually like Pentax's layout of the camera settings on the status screen.
We'll take a close appear at each 1, providing the pros and cons of the camera and letting you know what sort of photography each and every one particular would be ideal suited for. Also, in contrast to with compact cameras, buying an SLR camera is only portion of the expense you may possibly have to buy additional lenses, an external flash and other accessories. You can film in full 60p or 60i high definition, and the camera utilizes an HDMI output, letting you take advantage of HDMI playback and high speed connectivity.
Today's DSLR camera and SLR camera alternatives are quite impressive, and Camera Residence carries the greatest DSLR cameras and SLR cameras from the top names in the market including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax and Olympus. Bigger sensors need much heavier and larger camera lenses and camera bodies, because the lens needs to capture and project light more than a larger sensor region. With an SLR in your hands you can rest assured that you'll only miss fantastic photo possibilities since you weren't ready, not due to the fact your camera wasn't in a position to get the shot. This is a wonderful entry level, affordable digital SLR camera that I extremely advocate to newer photographers or anybody who is just acquiring into SLR photography.
Compact cameras are considerably smaller sized, lighter, less expensive and much less conspicuous, but SLR cameras enable for a shallower depth of field, a higher range of subject styles and the prospective for larger image quality. The other aspect in favor of DSLRs is that the lenses you get for them are compatible with other camera bodies if you do pick to upgrade later on (as extended as you stay with your brand). This camera is every thing I hoped it would be: compact, easy to use, and works properly with my old lenses.

Oil cleansing for glowing skin/
What is oil cleaning and how does it work?
Oil cleansing is a very old method of cleansing skin, especially for the face. It might sound counter-intuitive because cleaning usually means getting rid of oil and dirt. How can apply oil "clean" the skin? The answer is pretty simple: like dissolves like. Oil can attach to oil easily to remove the impurities such as makeup and excess oils on the skin. It is very effective, natural, and economical way to clean and nourish our skin at the same time.
How to use oil to clean your face?
The procedure is straightforward. Put a few drops of oil of your choice in the palm of your hands, and massage onto the whole face. You don't need to wet the face with water first. Gently rub the oil over the area with makeup for one minute or two. Rinse with warm water and wipe with a washcloth. Repeat several times to make sure the dirty oil is all gone.
After that, you can use a toner like Witch Hazel, or skip the toner. Add face oil to moisturize. This can be the same as your cleaning oil or a different formulation.
Benefit of oil cleansing compared to store bought cleanser
Many people report a more hydrated, glowing skin with oil method. It is also very good with Acne and oil skin. The store bought cleansers for oily or acne skin are often too drying, resulting in the skin producing even more oil. It becomes a vicious cycle.
Oil cleansing method leaves the skin clean and soft. Depending on the oil you choose, it has different functions on our skin. One thing for sure, it does not have all the extra chemicals that have the questionable effect on our health. It is also very inexpensive. I like to keep bottles minimum in the bathroom. A simple oil as cleanser and moisturizer means less mess and more counter space.
What oil to use and how to blend your own
Use the best quality oil you can find. It does not mean the most expensive. There are tons of oil choices available online, at the drug store or supermarket. Look for organic, raw, cold-pressed, and 100 percent pure oils. If it has other ingredients listed on the product, it is not pure.
The choice of oils depends on your skin type. Here are some suggestions:
For normal to oily skin: sweet almond oil, grape seed oil, apricot oil, jojoba oil.
For normal to dry skin: olive oil, argan oil, rosehip seed oil, Avocado oil.
Castor oil is often suggested to add into the cleaning oil because it has great cleaning function. On the other hand, it is more drying. So use carefully. You can also omit Caster oil completely.
Coconut oil is another one to use with caution. It is very moisturizing, but some people find it pore clogging and gives breakouts as a face cleanser.
Everybody's skin reacts differently to different products. Like all the skin care products from the store, you have to try it to know what works best for your skin.
Blending your own facial cleansing oil
You can buy facial cleansing oils from stores or online, but they are usually overpriced. Why not make your own cleansing oils because it is so simple to make, and you have the control of ingredients.
The easiest way is to use just one oil, such as olive oil or grapeseed oil from the kitchen. If it works well, there is no need to complicate things.
Or you can mix your own oil blend. Pick two or more oils that fit your skin type. Add them in a bottle, shake to mix completely. Now it is ready to use. You do not need preservatives because there is no water involved.
If you use castor oil, keep the proportion about 10 - 30 percent of the final oil. If your skin is oily, you might be ok with more. If your skin starts to react with the oil, stop using it and change your formula.
The expiration date depends on how fresh is the oil of your choice, and if the oil is stored in a dark, cool place. Usually, the oil blend should last for 1-2 years, until it smells nutty and rancid.
When and how often to use the oil cleansing method
The oil cleansing can be used every day. Some people prefer to use it only at evening because of all the makeup and dirt from the day. Thre is no set rules about oil cleansing.
Some people like to use a foaming cleanser after oil cleaning to make sure the skin is super clean. Some like to use a toner such as Witch Hazel or herbal tea after oil cleaning. Play with the routine to see what works the best for your unique skin.
Sometimes simple is the best. One bottle of high-quality oil is better than a store bought oil with 20 questionable ingredients. More ingredients mean more chance of allergy and unknown reactions. Making our own oils is one step toward regaining control of our health.

Well, it was about time I added something to this website – I've been so busy at work that my free time has been limited to making a website that is work-related (I will unveil it to the world if I get permission from Loyens & Loeff – although it's clearly my creation, it would go against the code of conduct to publish it without obtaining permission) and to weekends.
I have been working on what was meant to be a concerto-like orchestral piece, with a piano melody as centrepiece, but the music evolved away from the orchestral setting.
I therefore present to you Thumos, the latest creation of the Peter Craddock music factory.
In other news, I have finally taken the opportunity to put all of my music in Creative Commons. The current licence is "Creative Commons by-nc-nd", which means that you are free to download/distribute/copy the music, subject to the following conditions (to quote the CC website):

I was looking for a way to decorate the house for my Mother's .Day celebration. Now that I am older I find that I really enjoy the beauty of having live flowers around. I saw this really cute idea on the Martha Stewart Wedding tape. I made natural flower caddies to hold the flower arrangements, I used the Mountain Laurel leaves which, I have an abundance of. They are large waxy leaves on one side and dull on the other. The contras is beautiful left in the natural, or spray painted like I did this ones to match my decor.
Materials needed:
Wet foam
Dry foam
Plastic wrap
Floral pins
Green leaves
Gold spray paint
Fresh flowers of your choice.
Cut out a smaller square out of one of the foam pieces leaving an inch border around all four sides of the the square.. Stack the cut out block on top of the block that is not cut.
Secure with toothpicks. Line the top square with plastic wrap,this is to make it water proof. Cut the wet green foam to fit inside the dry green foam.
I have Mountain Laurel growing in my yard. You can use orange leaves, magnolia leaves what ever large waxy leaves you have available. Cut bottom half of leaves. Roll side of leaves in pressing them into place.
Pin them on your foam caddy side. Pinning the first leaf on the top side of the caddy. Then the middle, and finally the bottom.
The bottom leaves were rolled, and pinned sideways all in one direction. I also decided to spray paint my leaves gold, but you may choose to let them be natural, depending on your party theme.
Let me know what you think.

text: I was walking around the back of our house, and noticed a wet spot on the foundation, just below the bricks. It was about four feet long, located by the shower in our master bath. I called to my wife, Holly, to have a look. She confirmed my suspicion. The shower pan was leaking. But why? About seven or eight years ago, this master bath had been completely remodeled, including the shower. A shower pan should last longer than eight years. We remodeled the master bath because our neighbor's six year old son had driven the family SUV backwards through our wood fence, over a magnolia tree, finally plowing a huge hole into our house. Apparently she had given him the keys and told him to start the car. Not only did he start the car, the little bugger floored the accelerator and put it in gear, launching mom's Honda Pilot into our master bath. Miraculously, no one was hurt. The Honda was wrecked; our house looked like someone had driven their car into it. Holly got the name of a contractor, Billy, to do the work. This was BMFF (before Mr Fixit Fast) so she did not have access to the competent and reliable contractors she works with now. Billy did an OK job. We were happy about it at the time. However, after about five years, mold appeared on the caulking at the bottom of the shower, a sign that there was a leak. The shower pan had not been poured and sealed properly. This time it would be different. The old shower was ripped out. Fortunately there was only a little mold on the bottom of the sheet rock outside the shower. Our friend Gerry with Puro-Clean checked the shower area, the walls, and carpet in the closet for mold and moisture. The wood and sheet rock were replaced, and the shower was roughed out with hardy board and sealed with red sealer. Holly loves a torn up house, and used this opportunity to add some new touches. The half-bath was remodeled as well. A note for prospective remodelers. Be patient. Clearly state your expectations to your contractor. Make sure they are experienced, licensed and insured. Set a reasonable time table to get the work done. Be prepared for some inconvenience. It will be worth it when it is finished.

Benefits of Anti-Aging Actives in Sunscreens
KAL'IDEES S.A.S., Paris 75014, France

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Pigmentation correcting ingredients—Crucial Need for Innovation to Lead the Way)
AbstractSunscreens are functional, utilitarian, cosmetic products. The criteria of purchase are different from those for skin care and make-up. Companies are trying to add glamour and value to basic sunscreens by incorporating "active" ingredients (other than UV filters) into these formulas and by communicating about the additional benefits, be they anti-aging, moisturizing, firming, anti-wrinkle, etc. While some of these ideas of additional ingredients make sense as supplementary skin protection, some others do not afford much benefit in view of the infrequent application and short period of usage. The present article reviews some of these ideas and presents a few active ingredients that might be of value in such a context, even if substantiation of such additional claims in sunscreens is often lacking.

Was reminded today of one of the most valuable training tools one can acquire:
A training partner!
Thinking back on the times I've been in the best shape of my life, or thinking of absolutely every single PR I've ever set (squat, deadlift, bench press, shoulder press, anything) I did it working out with another person. There's been plenty of times I've trained on my own. I just plug in my iPod, drink my pre/intra workout drink and get it done. I enjoy those workouts. But it's not the same. Not even close.
You're telling me when you see your training partner grabbing a higher weight that you're not going to consider you should be doing the same? You don't think when you see your partner adding an extra 5 reps to their last set you're not going to follow suit? She's running faster, cranking it even higher, she's not going to quit…not for an instant until this workout is done. Tell me you don't work your damnest to keep up?
There's also a bonding that happens when people lift together. I am lucky in that I get to watch couples train together and I'm telling you that it's the single most positive thing I think a couple (especially young) can do to build a life together. Don't agree? Have you ever seen what happens when the wife (or husband) of an overweight couple decides they've had enough, that THIS is the moment they strive, struggle, fight, claw and suffer to reach their goals? It gets UGLY!
One of two things: the spouse either bucks up and follows suit (usually moaning and groaning about the process) OR they go the complete opposite way, sometimes going so far as to frequently sabotage the results of the person they supposedly care for (eg. husband brings home pizza for dinner when wife trying her damnest to fight the food monster that's ruining her physique). Ever heard the infamous "you look fantastic just the way you are!" And I DARE any uber fit person who has a spouse where the training lifestyle just isn't their thing, to try and tell me your lifestyle choices don't cause problems in your relationship.
Couples that train together, grow together. Even couples that train apart but are at least both getting in shape still gain the benefits of a closer relationship.
Same goes for two buddies training together. I swear, some of the most life affirming guy based conversations I've ever had came between sets of hard work. You see what someone is made of when the weight gets heavy, when the body says no and you just keep going. You see a person.
I'm telling you this: find someone that will commit to your schedule. Train however, it really doesn't matter, just do work. If that person is flaky, get another, NOW. When you find a training partner that will show up and expects you to show up you're guaranteed to have the best series of workouts and therefore the best progress you'll ever see in your life!
This post is just a huge thank you to everyone whom I've ever worked out with. Seriously, it's been some of the greatest sources of joy in my life!

Today's Quote: "The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
― Albert Einstein
Today's Word: Obfuscate v. Render obscure, unclear, or unintelligible. Bewilder (someone). "The eclipse will obfuscate the sun's light."
Random Thought: Shouldn't there be a shorter word for "monosyllabic"?

At about this time last week, there I was, on that beach, with that very beer in my hand. God, it was a good one! I might write about it in a moment, but for now, a few pix will do
Me, looking a little Islamic because I am sick to death of coming back bright red and gingerly showering and dressing for days after the beach. It's very light cotton, and very freeing because then I can stop worrying if I have enough sunblock on. The hat stayed on too! On the right, my husband looking SO uncharacteristically beachy. He is NOT an ocean-going kind of guy, that's MY board!
My cute toddler. Say no more.
Cute toddler and her birthday twin, Yuki.
He copied everything she did, including taking a drink at the exact same time she did! On the right, his aunt, she did actually get in the water, in her burkini top. We were lucky to grab this cute little shelter on the beach, I could have stayed there all day!
There were other kids there too, though we didn't see much of them. Here they are, in mixed order from both days, when the sat still long enough for me to get a shot:
Nako and Karin on the left, Amy on the right. Momoka and Lena bottom right, after Yukko did their make-up. Below left, all the kids at breakfast the next day

The Embroiderers Guild has bought the printed word to life at an exhibition at Market Harborough library.
Entitled Page 17 it is a series of specially created exhibition of textile artistry where each piece takes a book as its inspiration. People can see mischievous monkeys and strutting chickens, Greek tragedy, Jane Austen and Haiku poetry.
Using colour and form, design and texture, members have created works which span the contemporary, the literal and the symbolic. Your imagination will be intrigued as it follows the thread across the surface, and marvels at how the combination of cloth and thread is both a medium and metaphor, bringing to life images hidden amongst words.

Angel's Comment:
This Tangerine Peel White Tea is perfect for relieving coughs and clears up phlegm on cold autumn and winter days. If you're looking for a healthy, fruity tea with a citrusy aroma to clear up your cold days, look no further.
This round-packed tea is wrapped with white cotton paper, which releases a familiar sweet orange aroma when unwrapped, reminding you of the orange-flavored candy you used to munch on as a child. The peel of the tangerine has been cut by a circular incision to form the "lid" and "body", where the body acts as a container for the dried white tea leaves stored inside. It is common knowledge that tea leaves are highly absorbent and will pull in and store aromas from things in their surroundings, so storing the leaves inside the orange peel creates an authentic, uniquely-flavored tea that is both sweet and taste and retains the characteristic undertones of the orange.

Mr. Lin was born in Fuding, Fujian, and has been living in a tea-filled environment all his life. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather are all tea farmers; when in elementary school, Mr. Lin helped pick the tea when there were not enough workers. This led to his dream of becoming further engaged in the tea business.
He said: "My original idea was to establish a good life for my family by running a tea business. But when I got to that point in 1993, I changed my mind: Fuding is one of the best places for growing tea. So I wanted to create a long-term organic tea business."
Mr. Lin is now one of the first founders of Chinese white tea, owning almost 2800 acres of high-quality Fuding tea gardens, including the only organic tea garden in Fujian that has passed all the European, American, and Japanese certifications. This organic garden has also become the national agricultural standard.
In 2008, his Silver Needle white tea won the gold medal at the annual Chinese White Tea festival in Beijing.
This white tea is produced in Fuding, a famous tea production area located in the northeast of Fujian Province. Fuding is of the subtropical monsoon climate, characteristic to coastal areas; it experiences an average annual rainfall of about 1661mm, and the average annual temperature is right around 18.5C.
This white tea is made from the leaves of the Fuding Dabaihao plant, which propagates asexually and takes the form of a small tree. In 1985 it was certified as a national tea plant variety, and can grow up to 2.8m high with a thick trunk. The spring tea of this plant contains 1.8% amino acids ands 28.2% tea polyphenols, and is used to make high-quality white teas.
While tea was originally grown in the area around the city of Fuding, it later spread to the areas around the cities of Shuiji, and then Zhenghe. The first type of white tea produced was Silver Needle, in the area around Taimu Mountain.
Originally, Silver Needle tea was made from the buds of the Xiaobai variety of tea bush, a smaller and slower-growing variety; because of this, the tea was more expensive and harder to find. However, around 1857, farmers near Shuiji began using Dabaihao tea bush varieties, with larger buds and the capability to produce higher-quality tea, with more fuzz on the leaves and a stronger fragrance and taste. From that point on, Silver Needle, White Peony, and other types of white tea have been made using Dabaihao tea plant.

I've been meaning to tell you since the leaves were falling and the grass was still waving waist high in the fields about Thea Coughlin, and the magic that happened when she took my picture.
To start at the beginning--I needed an author photo.
I thought a long time about how I wanted those photos to be. And I was nervous about hiring a photographer.
In the past whenever I've had a photographer take my picture, I've always felt like that set of circumstances manages to bring out my most introverted awkward self . I start acting dorky. Inevitably I slouch, or make wry, ridiculous expressions.
Behind the lens I feel confident and easy; and over the years I've taken many self portraits that are straight from the heart and true to who I am in the moment. But in front of someone else's lens I feel gangly and uncertain. With the exception of a handful of the off-handed candid shots by those closest to my heart, whenever someone takes my picture I end up smiling a little rigidly; or looking far too serious, and the outcome when I look at it on the screen or printed always feels a little foreign.
Also, I had no idea what to wear.
So I emailed Thea a shy, hopeful request: Would she maybe take a few photos of me that I could use for my book, and for other future workshops and sundry places where I might need a photo that reveals a little glimmer of my soul?
I'd seen the portraits Thea had taken at Squam of Elizabeth, and, having spent time with Elizabeth I understood just exactly the extent of the magic she'd achieved. Thea had captured something essential and ephemeral about Elizabeth that comes through in person but often gets lost in translation of film or pixels.
I hoped for that.
Still, when she showed up on an overcast fall morning, I was nervous. For about eleven seconds.
Because then she hugged me, and her beauty and light simply filled the space where any hesitation would have lived; and we sat my kitchen island and drank tea and got to know one another in the most easy, lovely way.
And then I brought her up to my bedroom and she poked through my dresser of barely folded clothes and my overstuffed closet with things falling of hangers, and she asked me to find my favorite pieces: Stuff that I love to wear; stuff that feels like me.
And because she was so perceptive and intuitive and grounded, something that I'd been dreading became fun. Instead of struggling with finding something to wear, I found many. She convinced me to try combinations I never would have, paring my love fore ruffles and beauty with my tomboy self that lives in ripped jeans and sorrels. Instead of feeling nervous, I started feeling giddy and beautiful.
And then we wandered up into my woods and fields where I always take walks and feel deeply at home, and she shot picture after picture until I began to feel the way I do inside: brave and beautiful, feminine and strong, confident and a complete goofball.
And that's just exactly what she captured.
I want to tell you this because doing a Spirit Session with Thea was one of the biggest gifts I've ever given myself. It isn't just about the photos she takes—-its about the way she takes them. The way that she is attune to the energy dancing between the her subject and the lens; the way she makes you feel in the photo just exactly the way you feel in your soul.
If you ever find yourself needing a photo like this. One that makes your heart sing because it feels authentic, and gorgeous and true to you and the creative work that you do, seek Thea out. She's pure magic.
{All photos by Thea Coughlin}

Behind TPFF's creative production with LUX Events
We speak to Lux Events Managing Director, David Trapp, about what it takes to create a powerful runway show.
What was LUX's favourite moment of the Telstra Perth Fashion Festival 2018?
The opening moment of Opening Night is always a favourite as it is the first time the many months of concept development, planning and logistics between our team and TPFF's creatives are finally realised and on display.
It is the first time we get to share our creative concepts with the industry and public.
What was your favourite production element / concept that LUX used / produced in the TPFF 2018 Runway events?
The mirrored curved arches on Opening Night that Lux executed for Grant Capriotti and Caterina Scardino worked so well.
They framed the runway with curves, while the existing venue columns (which we also had clad in a mirror finish) vertically divided the centre of the runway, accented by the beam lights, that divided the negative space between these two elements.
Embracing what would otherwise have been a visual eye-sore and incorporating the room columns into the runway. The mirror finish helped the columns to blend into the ambiance of the room, and was an interesting and effective solution.
What TPFF Runway show was a highlight for LUX to produce while working in conjunction with TPFF's Project Managers and why?
My favourite runway shows were 20 Years of Fashion (Closing Night) which was banging and full of energy and also 20 Years of Ae'lkemi, which as always, was stunning. The creative was particularly well aligned to the brand this year.
It is hard to single out any individual runway shows though as each had its own strengths and it is the variety that is so rewarding for us.
What does it take to produce an impactful event in Western Australia?
It is a cliché but it is true. Avoiding the mould is key. We are a lifestyle focussed society, so it is a saturated market in events.
We like to push boundaries and take chances.
We believe it is critical for our client's brand but it is actually just what makes our work rewarding for us too!

A career switch for rescue
A career switch for rescue
Angeli Qwatra's professional credentials are strikingly different. She is a rescue management expert with national and international experience in the field of emergency aid measures. She is the founder head of Philathrope, an NGO empowering communities, individuals and corporates working with Unesco on an evaluation study of an AIDS prevention programme, I was drawn closer to the life of the common man. I realised that working at the grassroots-level to solve people's problems is my true calling, and ever since there has been no looking back," she recounts.Thus, Qwatra left teaching to work as a project officer with an NGO, Vatavaran. Here she was involved in research on life in urban villages. Based on this, she formulated a mega project for the holistic development of urban villages in Delhi. "I realised during this time that a major setback in the lives of common people is their negligence on safety and security issues. Even educated people act wrongly while helping people in crisis. Thus, I decided to make my work more focused and impart fundamental life saving skills. At the outset I embarked upon extensive research on people's knowledge and behaviour of handling serious injuries and life threatening crisis."Determined to make a difference, Qwatra underwent training in London on emergency aid measures and subsequently pursued a course in natural disaster management from World Bank Institute, National Institute of towards their own safety preparedness and disaster management. And she would be training around 30,000 young volunteers who would be extending emergency aid to people during the Commonwealth Games.Qwatra pursued an MPhil and PhD through a research fellowship from the University Grants Commission (UGC). Looking back at her lecturer days, she says, "I was bored teaching the same theories and concepts to students year after year." While working as a lecturer, she got an offer to work with Unesco on problems children face from HIV affected families and she willingly took it up. "This turned out to be a moving experience as it ignited a desire within me to help people in need and distress. Further, while Disaster Management.She then decided to open her own NGO 'Philanthrope' that is aimed at saving people's lives and reducing suffering. Talking about the risks involved in a career change, she says: "Gaining knowledge and a formal degree in the new field was perhaps the biggest challenge that I faced." Nevertheless, she adds: "It is always worth the effort. When you follow your heart and choose the right career, which suits you better, you are able to perform far better and excel in the field."She emphasises: "Some people find it odd that a few individuals choose to abandon a secure job and move into a risky world. However, more often than not a career switch is an informed decision. Also often the first job we choose is based on the advice and experiences of others. This attributes to the fact that many a time people find themselves in vocations that are unsuited to their temperament. People should consciously realise what they want from their careers and not conform to traditional notions while making career choices."

The physical body is surrounded by an energetic envelope referred to as the ethereal, etheric or auric field. Its existence was scientifically proven by Harold Burr, Ph.D. (1889-1973) of Yale University. It is thought of as the energetic blueprint that guides the multiplying and specializing cells of the embryo, then of the fetus, to their particular position and in their proper interrelationship.
Later, in the baby and then in the adult, it dictates physiological functions. All the chakras (the various colored energy centers of rotating light depicted in the image above) and the related system of nadis (energetic channels in Ayurveda), as well as the meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine extend from the physical body into the etheric body and interconnect the two.
Caring only for the physical body is just part of the equation and true vitality and health cannot be fully achieved without paying attention to our energetic envelope. The physical body and our auric field are like yin and yang. If one is out of sync, so is the other.
That is why energetic or vibrational tools are often used on the energy field surrounding the body in order to balance the vitality of the physical body. PHYTO5® has created vibrational serums (Phyt'Ethers) and invented our proprietary light therapy technology known as the Chromapuncteur™ for this purpose. In fact, all of PHYTO5's skincare products are vibrational in nature.

Reading 'The Interestings' in Fort William
The book: The Interestings, Meg Wolitzer
The place: Fort William, Scotland
I have been feeling rather ground down by the state of the world lately, and so to read this book, which is kind and gentle and about a collection of genuinely good characters who are trying their best and behaving decently to one another, was like stepping into a warm bath at the end of a tiring day. Which makes it sound rather more anodyne than it is: The Interestings has a lot of very interesting (ha) things to say about the nature of envy – particularly as applied to close friends – and the various ways one fails to get what one wants, and the sometimes blighting effects of childhood promise. It reminded me quite strongly of another book that I've just read (and thoroughly enjoyed), AD Miller's The Faithful Couple. Both Miller and Wolitzer write compellingly and convincingly about the malaise that seems to strike many people in their early to mid-thirties when they really start to understand – belatedly – that perhaps they are actually not that special. While I normally have very limited sympathy for novels about the plight of middle class white people living lives of enormous privilege (globally speaking), both Wolitzer and Miller write with such warmth about their characters, which I always find beguiling.
Lovely (if brief) Easter break with a few friends up to the Highlands. The original plan – following our heroic ascent of Snowdon last August, and our subsequent grand ambitions to scale the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales over a 24-month period (rather than the rather showy-offy 24-hour period embraced by the Three Peaks Challenge) – had been to climb Ben Nevis, but we discovered that the tourist path was still closed by snow, and group consensus was not to attempt a guided ascent with crampons and ice-axes, so we focused on fine dining (the Crannog one night, the Lime Tree the second, both of which were excellent) and what was supposed to be a fairly gentle hike into the Lost Valley from Glencoe, but which ended up with ten of us clinging to a vertiginous sheet of scree just below the snow line, while sensible people who had taken the correct path pointed at us from below and (probably) debated whether they needed to call Mountain Rescue.

The High Court in Blantyre has declared the rogue and vagabond law unconstitutional, meaning that people will not be arrested for walking at night.
The development follows a challenge on the constitutionality of rogue and vagabond by vendor Mayeso Gwanda.
In their ruling, Judges Sylvester Kalembera, Michael Mtambo, and Zione Ntaba said section 184 subsection 1C has been declared unconstitutional arguing that it reflected discrimination in the country.
In his conclusion for the ruling, Judge Kalembera argued that the applicant was arrested without a warrant and the police had no suspicion on criminal activity.
On her part, Judge Ntaba suggested for the review of the law arguing that the legislation helped in reducing crime in Malawi.
Speaking in an interview with Malawi24, lawyer for the applicant Mandala Mambulasa said the declaration does not mean that the public is free to break the law.
"The court went on that urging the public they should not interpret that they are free to do crime as the police have other measures in handling crime," said Mambulasa.
The vendor Gwanda challenged the constitutionality of the law after he was arrested in March 2015 while walking in Limbe.
State prosecutors then told the court that Gwanda violated section 184 of the penal code which provides that "every person found in or upon or near any premises of in any road or highway or any place adjacent thereto or in any public place at such time and under such circumstances as to lead to the conclusion that such person is there for an illegal or disorderly purpose, is deemed a rogue and vagabond."
However, the applicant argued that rogue and vagabond violates human rights, including his right to dignity and privacy, freedom from inhumane and degrading treatment, freedom and security of person, freedom from discrimination, and freedom of movement.
The Legal Aid Bureau, Centre for Human Rights Education, Advice and Assistance (CHREAA), and Paralegal Advisory Services Institute (PASI) joined the case as amicus curiae. PASI submitted that the offence violates the right of access to justice and the rights of arrested persons.

RUSA task force addresses problems with mental health treatment at Rutgers
The Rutgers University Student Assembly (RUSA) brought focus to mental health issues on Thursday by curating a comprehensive list of suggestions to better serve students seeking help.
The student-run town hall meeting was held at the Student Activities Center on the College Avenue campus. It was designed to touch on a variety of student-related affairs and hold legislative polls for pending student ballots.
This weekly meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. and can run for two hours. Topics of discussion range from improving commuter student experience to sexual assault prevention.
At Thursday's meeting, the Mental Health Task Force, a culmination of students looking to study the effects of mental health, shared ideas.
With help from its "What's on Your Mind?" survey as well as communication with other Big Ten schools, the group designs ideas for reforming mental health treatment at Rutgers. It works to improve both Rutgers Health Services and its affiliates, said Zachary Sinkiewicz, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and chair of the Mental Health Task Force.
Some of the recommendations involved embedding counselors throughout campus in order to increase their availability and recruiting more bilingual counselors to better service international students, Sinkiewicz said. Both ideas aim to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness and make it easily accessible to students.
Additionally, the group looks to establish a set of concrete policies through the University that allow students to address any mental health issues before worrying about schoolwork, he said. By initiating a makeup policy the University reassures students that mental health is always the first priority.
"One of the fundamental problems with CAPS (Center for Counseling, Alcohol and Other Drug Assistance Program and Psychiatric Services) and other organizations alike is that they focus on this short-term 'shock therapy' that looks to address the problem quickly. Most programs consist of six sessions and then they charge students after that's exceeded or send them elsewhere for additional help," Sinkiewicz said.
Contrastingly, Annmarie Wacha-Montes, assistant director for community based services of CAPS, said the services they offer are free of charge and that there is no session limit for counseling.
"If a student connects to a psychiatrist for medication management, the appointments will be billed through the student's insurance," Wacha-Montes said in an email.
Caroline Ross, a School of Arts and Sciences junior and Mental Health Task Force member, said an element that brought her to Rutgers was the psychiatric and mental health services the school provided.
"Eating disorders persisted throughout my high school years. Without these services present my parents and I didn't feel comfortable committing to a school," she said.
Ross said that when she experienced the Rutgers' mental health services, they were not as helpful as she would have liked them to be. It was a very generic form of treatment that did not focus on treating the root cause of the issue.
"When I heard about the Mental Health Taskforce as a part of RUSA I knew I had to help," she said.
Ideas for the Task Force are created in part by triangulation with other schools' ideas for the system, Ross said.
"As Big Ten liaison I work with all 14 schools and universities, yes there's 14 not 10, and recently talked with delegations from other schools at the Ohio State Big Ten conference to see what programs they were implementing," she said.
Some of the problems surrounding CAPS are a lack of diversity among counselors. Many of the professionals willing to treat you seem to have aged out of the system and are not able to treat student for current issues, Ross said.
"It's much easier to feel comfortable and cultivate a relationship with a counselor if you can see some of yourself in them. If you seek treatment from someone like yourself, it becomes easier to reach out and ask for help," she said.
Making these services more accessible to students helps reduce the stigma that follows mental health issues, Ross said.
Hiring diverse staff has been a primary strategic goal for CAPS over the past several years, Wacha-Montes said, adding that CAPS staff members seek continuous training and education to increase self-awareness to respond to implicit and systemic biases.
Ross said, based on her own experiences, that on-campus treatment at Rutgers needs improvement.
"Since my experience with CAPS, I travel off campus to see my doctors because I cannot rely on the services here," Ross said. "Hopefully these suggestions help other students find comfort in the services we provide here instead of seeking out additional help."
Sudents who are going through difficult times should get involved with organizations, Ross said.
"Even when I am having a bad day I know there is something I can do for RUSA and it makes me feel like I belong," she said.
At the end of the presentation, the group took questions from other student organization representatives and anyone else that cared to comment on the subject. At the end of the night, the individual organizations held their separate board meetings and the meeting was adjourned.
"I thought the presentation was great. We commissioned the report right after I got elected and it became the first real task force we created. Mental health is a pressing issue on campus, students are dealing with depression and anxiety but don't have the resources to address those issues," said Justin Schulberg, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and president of the RUSA Executive Board.
All the suggestions presented are achievable and can be done in reasonable time, Schulberg said. A lot of the suggestions are already in place at other schools, so RUSA is taking small steps toward improving the reality of mental health on campus.
Christie Schweighardt, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences junior and RUSA chief of staff, was a chair for the last task force. She said it is important to see a committee research and find out what the climate is like on campus to provide a basis for what we can strive for.
"The counselors at CAPS are ready to make change," Schweighardt said. "They have a lot of great plans and have done great things in the last two years to listen to students and make the system better for everyone."
Wacha-Montes said that CAPS offers culturally informed treatments that are based on evidence that helps reduce concerns and problems.
"The treatment focuses on a comprehensive understanding of the why the issues are present and ways they can be managed," she said. "These treatments have been found through research and clinical trials to be significantly effective and helpful."

City of Birmingham Symphony OrchestraJohn Wilson-Conductor Gary Williams-Vocalist
What a wonderful way to start the weekend, a superb orchestra, brilliant vocalist and conductor plus a venue second to none. Well that's how it was on Friday night at Symphony Hall when Gary Williams was once again the guest singer with the enormous City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. It was also good to welcome back John Wilson the young musical director who has probably done more than anyone to keep the American Song Book in performance whether through recordings or in concert performance. In a new programme of music from the best of the easy listening catalogue of the 20th Century we were treated to just over 2 hours of matchless vocalising and the finest of instrumental playing that the capacity audience just loved and even clamoured for more when it was time to end!
It is rare to hear this size of orchestra playing the music associated with Frank Sinatra and given the original arrangements by Nelson Riddle, Gordon Jenkins etc and fresh arrangements for all the instruments of the CBSO the sound achieved was magical. Symphony Hall is the perfect venue for this kind of show and the sound balance on the night was perfect. Unless you have heard it first hand it is difficult to comprehend just how all encompassing that sound is. I have never heard the equivalent on a CD and this is why these concerts are so popular and with such a wide age group too.
All of Gary's vocals were excellent and the added bonus of a large brass section on "Let's Face the Music and Dance", vibrant percussion on "I've Got the World on a String" and even the harp played so gently by Robert Johnson for "Swingin' Down the Lane" not to mention Mark Crooks on alto sax for the classic "I Get a Kick Out of You", lifted these performances to a level that was exceptional. After the interval came even more with great trombone work and strings on Cole Porter's "Night and Day" and Matt Skelton doing the honours on his drum kit for "Cheek to Cheek". And so the evening continued with superb song after superb song including the saloon favourite "One for My Baby" with beautiful piano from Andrew Potting until we sadly reached the official end of the concert with "Mt Kinda Town". But clearly the audience had no intention of letting things end there and back Gary came with "New York, New York" and finally a perfect reading of "My Way" still as fresh as the day it was written and still as emotionally powerful. A fitting end to a purely magical evening.
Look out for more of the CBSO, Friday Night Classics that take you on a journey through the popular classics and the finest of contemporary music from the 20th Century. And let's keep our fingers crossed for an early return of Gary Williams and John Wilson.

Russia Today Declares 9/11 Was an Inside Job
Russia Today
This is perhaps the biggest 9/11 story of the last 12 months... but few Americans seem to be aware of it.
While U.S. media has continued to parrot the official "terrorists with box cutters" story... and deny all evidence contrary to it... at least one major media company has gone on the record alleging that 9/11 was an inside job.
Just before the 2013 anniversary of 9/11, Russia Today ran a 13-minute segment covering some of the major scientific evidence that proves the official 9/11 story cannot possibly be true.
Russia Today examines why and how a third building (WTC 7) collapsed on 9/11. They also reveal new information about "Operation Gladio," a long-term program to carry out false flag terrorism as a means of increasing government power.
You can watch the full video segment here:
