More Michael Jackson remembrances and upcoming tribute parties...
Davey-D emails with an interesting take on MJ's cultural impact:
For the past six years, David Paul and Jeff Harris have presented their legendary "Prince vs. Michael Jackson" parties, playing clubs in Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver, in addition to San Francisco.
"Today is a sad day," Paul said yesterday. He made no further comment on Jackson's passing, instead referring to an official statement Harris posted on their Bomb Hip-Hop site, which reads: "When David Paul and I conceived the idea for the tribute party to Michael Jackson and Prince over six years ago, it was meant to celebrate the music of two of the biggest pop cultural icons of our generation. It was done with love and mutual respect for both artists something that I hope can be felt at each event.
Harris continues: "Michael Jackson's music has been a very important part of my life from the beginning. I owe a great debt to Michael for inspiring my passion for music. From the first Jackson 5 records my parents gave me at the age of 3, instinctively I knew what whatever I chose to do in my life it would center around music.
"At the moment as I'm writing this, I'm totally devastated, deeply saddened and really don't know what else to say or really how to feel right now. Regardless of how you felt about Michael Jackson personally, the legacy that he leaves behind as a musician and an entertainer is indelible, permanent and cannot be denied. Michael showed that you can achieve incredible things in your lifetime when you are blessed with God given talent and have the will and drive to succeed. Thank you for the wonderful music you've given us and your incredible but all too brief time on this earth. We will miss you."
Paul added that the next SF event on July 18 will be a MJ tribute celebrating the life of the King of Pop.
If you'd rather not wait that long, though, Ankh Marketing is
sponsoring a Michael Jackson tribute this Saturday at 330 Ritch
featuring an open Grey Goose bar until 10pm and DJs Mr. E, Ant One, and
De. RSVP here for free admittance before 10 p.m. ($5 until 11 p.m.)

When it comes to the listening tour that Williamson County Schools Superintendent Jason Golden is currently involved in, the online reception has been much stronger than the in-person visits.
"Facebook Live has gotten so much more attention than our visiting tours that we've done," said Golden of the meet-and-greet sessions. "So we've scheduled more of the online listening sessions."
The current tour began a couple of weeks ago with a Facebook Live session, and another one is scheduled for Sept. 12 at 11:30 a.m. For Thursday, however, Golden has scheduled an old-fashioned listening at 6 p.m. in the auditorium at Centennial High School.
More: Superintendent Golden talks putting students first, supporting teachers, diversity
"In June, I made a commitment to gather input from members of our school district community," Golden said on the WCS website. "I will be available in-person and on social media to take questions and hear from our families, staff and community members, and I'm looking forward to listening."
As he listened during the Facebook Live visit in August, Golden heard parents asking mostly about transportation — buses, routes, staffing — and zoning, especially as it relates to the new middle school under construction on Hen Peck Lane. Questions were also posted about growth, projections for certain neighborhoods, the school calendar, online classes and special education.
Both Golden and WCS Director of Communications Carol Birdsong said they weren't sure what to expect at Thursday's in-person show, but judging from one held in May, they're not anticipating a large turnout.
"We had more staff there [at Centennial High in May] than we actually had parents," Birdsong said. "We had to kind of prod people to ask questions."
Of course, Golden wasn't exactly a stranger when he was named superintendent in May. He has been with the district since 2006 and served as deputy superintendent for seven years. He wants to keep listening, though.
"My hope is, over the course of time, if I continue to keep those channels of communication open, we're going to serve people better," Golden said.
"We plan to do these [Facebook Live] at least quarterly, maybe every couple of months. We've gotten such good feedback and such good questions from parents, that it's taught me that we need to take those opportunities to answer their questions and share it. The process of educating children is so complex that there's no way we can answer everybody's question without finding some way to share it with a large group of people."

Fire has been used in ritual since time immemorial, and candles are contained vessels for flame that have their own rich history of magical use and application. That being said, most candles used in ritual are only loosely associated with their correspondences through color (white for 'good' magic, black for 'bad', etc.), perhaps an image with language on a label, and sometimes a scent, almost always synthetic. There are tradition-specific methods for further empowering or 'dressing' candles through carving, stuffing, and anointing with herbs or oil, and practitioners who offer this as a service.
While the argument could be made that all candles are 'magical', or have the potential to become 'magic' with the right intent and processing, the candles that Sphere + Sundry offers are highly charged 'out of the box' and talismanic in nature. They are created for the express purpose of carrying a potent influence, tightly aligned with the powers imbued by the astrological election that marks their creation or 'birth'. They need no further treatment on your part to make them 'do' what they are supposed to — they can be put on an altar and lit during appropriate times, burned as an offering to curry favor with certain intelligences, spirits, or Gods, or dedicated to a specific purpose/ working through various means, including writing on the jar or using the candle's flame to burn sigils, etc.
Our candles are hand poured, often during the height of each operation, and made from natural soy or beeswax. Seals and names are etched into the glass, usually on the underside of the candle. Any fragrance added is 100% pure essential oil of a sympathetic nature to the work at hand. They are often poured over similarly appropriate herbs, powders, or resins and feature gem, stone, or metal keepsakes that are revealed at the end of the candle's burn span, to be kept as a talismanic lodestone for the charge.
Exercise caution and good judgment when handling flame, and never leave candles unattended. In the case of receiving a candle in a box set, make sure to clear away the materials used to secure the items during shipping before burning, and NEVER close the lid of the box before flame or ember has been fully extinguished.
Please note that our candles are handcrafted in tight timeframes and may not be as 'flawless' as the commercially mass-produced candles you may be used to. Wicks may not be perfectly centered and there may be 'wet spots' where the wax does not perfectly adhere to the glass. Such things, if they do occur, are cosmetic in nature and do not impact the magical charge they possess.

Shout-out to Zeus' many offspring.Oil lamps are frequently employed in the Hoodoo tradition and possess the virtue of being infinitely reusable, building an even greater charge with use over time and a personal relationship with their keeper. The exterior is intentionally left unmarked so it can be decorated in accord with the user's desired purpose (optional, of course!).Direct its light to feed Jupiter talismans or implements of a Jupiterian nature, as well as pictures or icons of those in need of elevation, hope, and improved fortune. Burn during Jupiter's day and hour for remediation and ritual observation, to ingratiate the greater benefic to your purpose and call his aid.Well kept on wealth altars and work desks.Given Jupiter is out of talismanic commission for the next 1-2 years, this is the largest run of oil lamps Sphere + Sundry has so far produced.

It was this point in particular that inspired the idea that such light could also be used to feed, magnify, and activate astrological talismans, and experiments since have successfully confirmed that suspicion!A benefit oil lamps in particular possess over candles is that they can be eternally refilled, vastly increasing the span of their application and usefulness.

As their burning will often be accompanied by that of incense, they are unscented.The first time you burn a large candle, try to let the pool of wax get as far out as possible because it will leave a 'memory' in the wax and create a tunneling effect for future burns, which will greatly reduce the life of a candle. Magical candles are sometimes lit for short periods of time during prayers or petitions, so sometimes this is unavoidable. If you have issues with tunneling, there are ways of fixing it.Ten candles were poured, 7 were offered by Sphere + Sundry. They are now sold out.Click here for information about the use of these items for remediation of natal configurations or during Mars' retrograde. $95$95.00$95.00

The purpose of this IQP is to use the basics of trading and investment and apply it scientifically to create a profitable system made up of several systems. The project consists of the creation of three individual trading systems with their own set of rules. These individual systems were analyzed for current and future profitability in the market leading to the creation of a system of systems. Of the three individual systems two of them were trending systems and one was a support and resistance system, which led to system of systems that uses both trending and support and resistance methods in order to trade.

Interestingly, East 4th turns into the Riverview Cemetery Road, just beyond East 3rd North outside of town. The Riverview Cemetery Road leads to the Riverview Cemetery nearby. On the Shadowlands Haunted Places Index for this location, it was reported that the old city graveyard was moved and the Sweetwater County/Green River Library was built over this old graveyard. So we did some research and although we have not definitively proven this as a true fact, we have found that there was indeed a cemetery "move" that took place in 1926 and a number of bodies were "lost" in this move, including the bodies of some children.

From raspberries, cherries, and super-sweet strawberries to juicy tomatoes, apricots, peaches, and nectarines, there's no denying that summer fruit is the absolute best. And, when the cold weather creeps up, with its frozen plants and citrus-only offerings, we think back wistfully on the season of bountiful berries and stone fruits. Good news: You can still enjoy your warm weather haul in the dark depths of February. How? Make jam, and put it in a jar. Super simple to prepare, jams and compotes are some of our favorite ways to enjoy fruit, and we eat compotes in myriad ways, from thumbprint cookies to breakfast bars to cakes, and even as ice cream toppings.
But, before we get to jammin, we've got a few important distinctions to make. Jam is a thicker mixture of fruit, sugar, and sometimes pectin (an ingredient found in fruits and also in powder form, which helps to solidify). In jams, the fruit is completely broken down, unlike jelly, which is firmer, and compote, where the fruit retains its shape. Compotes are commonly made by slowly cooking fresh or dried fruit in a sugar syrup, and are served cold.
Now, without further ado…some tips, tricks, and tactics for making (and storing) your homemade jams and compotes:
1. Longterm jam vs. short term jam
If you're hoping to make jam that will last basically forever, home canning is the way to go. Jars should be sterilized (boil them for 10 minutes). Once filled with jam, your jars should be lowered into a pot of boiling water (lid on) and simmered for 10–20 minutes. If you truly want to keep your jam well, you have to create a good seal! If you're making jam to enjoy for the next few days, the process is much more, well, chill, though you'll still want to use very clean jars so that mold doesn't develop.
2. Pectin?
Since it has solidifying properties, pectin is often used in jams and jellies to create a texture that's not too runny. Pectin can be found in fruit itself: in underripe fruit, in lemons, and in green apples. Toss a piece of lemon or apple peel in with your jam mixture and then discard before adding your jam to its jar, or use a mixture of ripe and underripe fruit to balance pectin amounts and flavors. Be sure to thoroughly wash your lemon or apple, though, or use unwaxed peel, as you don't want any wax residue or pesticides ending up in your jam! You can also skip the pectin and opt for a runnier consistency, or just purchase pectin in stores or online.
3. Chop it up
Thoroughly wash your fruit, then chop it up. You can use a combination of fruits, or stick with one. Just make sure it's not overripe! To make jam, simply cook your fruit down with sugar. Give your fruit a taste before beginning the process, and stick to a ratio of 5.5–6 cups of fruit per 1 cup of sugar.
4. Time to dissolve
Combine fruit and sugar in a large pot at room temperature and let the fruit break down as the sugar dissolves. This should take about 20 minutes. Then, bring everything to a boil over medium heat, add your pectin source (if using), some lemon juice, and a bit of salt for balance, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15–20 minutes, until the jam thickens (thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon without dripping off). It'll thicken even more as it cools.
5. Jar it
Transfer your jam to sterilized jars and, if looking to preserve longterm, seal the jars and submerge in boiling water and simmer for 10–20 minutes, then allow to cool. If you're making a jam for shorter term use, simply pour jam in jars, cap it, and allow to cool before you refrigerate.
6. You've got (fruit) options
From apricots to peaches to strawberries to raspberries, you've got so many options. Take a peek at the farmers market, then go with whatever your heart desires. We do recommend berries and stone fruits, though.
2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled
¼ cup lemon juice
4 cups white sugar
In a wide bowl, crush strawberries in batches until you have 4 cups of mashed berry (see step 3). In a heavy bottomed saucepan, mix together strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice (feel free to add a lemon peel, per step 2!). Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil, stirring often (see step 4). Transfer to hot sterile jars (yep, step 1), leaving a 1/4 to 1/2 inch space at the top, and seal. Process in a water bath (step 5, guys). Eat.

It's been almost six months since Britain made the decision to exit the EU, and as U.K. government officials look to start the process as soon as early next year, it's clear the move will continue to have huge impacts on the country and its economy.
Various industries are also feeling the pain — from manufacturing and trade, to consumer banking other financial services.
As PYMNTS reported in September, a report from KPMG revealed that nearly 75 percent of British CEOs are considering leaving their home country. Eighty-six percent of the companies surveyed, each with revenues between £100 million and £1 billion ($130 million–$1.3 billion), said they were confident about their business growth prospects, but less than 70 percent were confident about the country's economic growth over the next few years.
It's also expected that British households will see a cut in disposable income in 2017 as the impact of the Brexit vote could send inflation soaring and weaken the economic outlook.
Forecasts by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) also pointed out that real disposable incomes may be dragged down for the first time in four years by the government's freeze on tax credit payments.
The think tank's research showed that the U.K. could be on the verge of a recession due to the huge aftershock from the Brexit vote, The Guardian reported.
The NIESR warned that the 0.5 percent drop in real household disposable incomes next year will not only hurt the wider economy but also potentially push the GDP growth down to 1.4 percent.
But the post-Brexit news isn't all bad — there are still many companies and industry players that have yet to turn their backs on Britain.
Just last week, Italian startup Euklid announced plans to relocate its headquarters to London and selected London-based FinTech accelerator Level39 as its new center of operations for implementing international strategies.
"London offers the ideal ecosystem," Antonio Simeone, cofounder and CEO of Euklid, explained. "Here, we can meet the needs of new investors and rely on an innovative and efficient financial industry also thanks to a lighter regulatory environment."
IBM also announced it will triple the number of its cloud data centers in Britain in order to meet a growing demand from its corporate and public sector clients. IBM Europe's general manger for cloud services, Sebastian Krause, told Fortune that the investment demonstrated the size of the cloud computing opportunity and the strength of the U.K. economy.
"U.K. customers truly understand the capabilities of cloud to drive innovation, to be more flexible on their business model, to have better insight for decision making and to deliver better customer service," he added.
Latest Insights:
Our data and analytics team has developed a number of creative methodologies and frameworks that measure and benchmark the innovation that's reshaping the payments and commerce ecosystem. In the December 2019 Mobile Card App Adoption Study, PYMNTS surveyed 2,000 U.S. consumers for a reveal of the four most compelling features apps must have to engage users and drive greater adoption.

How to Build a Healthier Pasta Salad by Toby Amidor in Healthy Tips, May 28, 2015 One of the most-popular sides during barbecue season is pasta salad. Gobs of mayo or glugs of oils, however, can turn those options into about 400 calories and 500 calories per one-quarter cup, respectively, easily sabotaging any pasta salad. Here are five simple steps you can follow to make a perfectly healthy pasta salad.

WESTLECOT'S men's side extended their winning run in the Thames region of the Wessex League to four matches with a 72-62 victory over Oxford & District IBC last Sunday.
The Old Town club took the honours on three of the four rinks to collect 14 of the 16 league points on offer and move into second spot in the table on 59 points, only 11 behind leaders Oxford City & County with a game in hand.
Westlecot made a poor start against Oxford & District to trail overall 20-9 after five ends, but recovered to lead 32-30 at 10.
Their improvement continued as they moved 51-42 up after 15 ends and led 67-51 at 18, but were pulled back before the finish before finally winning 72-62.
Top rink honours went to the home foursome of Dave Matthews, Mike Bowden, Ian Farragher and Tom Pittuck (skip), who recovered from 6-0 down after five ends to win their game 20-13.
Meanwhile, the other home rink skipped by Chris Cheesley recovered from being 5-1 down after five ends to win their match 20-17.
This three-shots winning margin was equalled away in West Littlemore, Oxford, where Kyle Anderson won 15-12.
However, Westlecot missed out on winning on all four rinks and gaining maximum points as Andy McIntyre's quartet lost their match 20-17.
Only one game is scheduled this Sunday in the Thames region as Rodbourne Cheney-based Swindon Manor face Oxford & District.
It will be a tough encounter as Manor are stuck at the foot of the table with only six points, while the Oxford side are in fourth spot.
- AREA finals in mixed indoor national championship events featuring two Westlecot combinations have been organised for the Area 14 section, with a place in both the mixed pairs and fours last 16 the prize for the successful teams.
In the mixed fours, Neil Smith and his two daughters, Lucy and Katy, are joined by Ian Jefferies to face the quartet of Julia Hiley, Anne Marie-Murray, Andy Knapper and Robert Newman from Reading indoor club Whiteknights at Loddon Vale (Basingstoke) on February 7.
The following day, Neil and Katy Smith will contest the mixed pairs final against Whiteknights duo of Newman and Cheryl Colby, also at Lodden Vale.

Dirk Johnson of Sycamore, a former national bureau chief for The New York Times and Newsweek, has covered the Olympics, the Columbine shooting, Barack Obama's presidential victory party and Mike Pence during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Johnson has written two books and the third book he co-authored with Robert O. Carr was released June 1.
His latest book, "First Chance: How Kids with Nothing Can Change Everything," distributed by the University of Illinois Press, focuses on students who have experienced foster care or the incarceration of a parent, especially a mother.
Carr is the founder, chairman and board member of Give Something Back, a nonprofit organization that provides college scholarships and mentoring to students who have faced economic hardship and other adversities. Johnson is the organization's author and senior adviser.
According to Give Something Back's website, the nonprofit has pre-paid for more than 1,500 students to go to college, an upfront investment of more than $35 million.
MidWeek reporter Katrina Milton met with Johnson to talk about his writing, Give Something Back and his latest book.
Milton: Tell me about yourself.
Johnson: I live in Sycamore and am a native of Sycamore, a graduate of Sycamore High School Class of 1976. I left Sycamore for about 20 years. For most of my career, I was a journalist, mostly with the New York Times. I was initially in the New York area, then Chicago, then Denver, then with the Chicago bureau, but worked out of Sycamore.
Milton: How did you get involved with Give Something Back?
Johnson: I was introduced to Bob Carr through a mutual friend, another Sycamore native who was doing some consulting for him at the time. Bob and I met up over coffee and hit it off immediately. He told me about his life and his troubled childhood. … He had a remarkable story to tell. He was accomplishing great things for good causes. He had a big heart and he was honest, even about painful experiences in his own life. I met him in 2012 and became involved with the organization then.
Milton: What is some of his story?
Johnson: He received a $250 college scholarship as a senior in high school. He said the experience was so good that he'd help kids who came from similar circumstances one day. He went to the University of Illinois to receive his bachelor's and masters degrees. He struggled for decades. But when he became successful, he remembered his promise. So far, the organization has distributed $50 million in scholarships.
Milton: How is the book linked to the goals of the organization?
Johnson: The organization and the book focus on kids in two categories, foster kids and kids with parents incarcerated. Foster kids and kids with parents incarcerated, especially a mom, are the students least likely to earn a college degree, estimated to be less than 3%. The book tells the story of remarkable kids who come from very, very difficult circumstances and found their way to college and the commencement stage. There are scenes in the book where he talks to kids about their hardships and shares his own experiences. You can tell that they connect with him. He's not another old rich guy.
Milton: How has the book so far been reviewed?
Johnson: The book was released on June 1 and is distributed by University of Illinois Press. It has been endorsed by author Mitch Albom, Hoda Kotb, the host of the "Today Show," and other prominent figures. Give Something Back was featured on "World News Tonight" with David Muir on ABC in June. Bob and I will appear on the WGN radio show "After Hours" on July 21.
Milton: Tell me more about the writing process of the book.
Johnson: The book took about two years to write. I interviewed a lot of students and spent a lot of time traveling around the country visiting prisons. In the vast majority of cases, the parents are not bad people. They are merely people that became addicted to drugs. In the last 30 years, the number of women in prisons has skyrocketed, which has left a lot of kids without mothers. Bob and I take the view that education is a far better investment than building prisons. There are kids with incarcerated parents all around us, yet they are largely invisible. They tend not to talk about their circumstances because they feel a sense of shame, yet they themselves are blameless.
Milton: How is your new book different from others?
Johnson: There are books in academia that focus on research about these kids, but this is a human interest book that gets into the lives of kids and parents and mentors. We came across the topic of this book while writing "Working Class to College," which addressed how the odds are against people of modest backgrounds getting to college. Wealthy kids with poor grades and low test scores are more likely to graduate from college than poor kids with good grades and high test scores.
Milton: Have you written other books?
Johnson: This is my third book co-authored with Bob. I've also written two other books, "Biting the Dust: The Wild Ride and Dark Romance of the Rodeo Cowboy in the American West" and "Meth," which is about the way the drug has affected rural communities.
Milton: How did growing up in Sycamore shape you as a writer?
Johnson: Sycamore has a history of producing journalists. I'm just one person in the line. I do think that people everywhere appreciate a good story. One of the things I appreciate in Sycamore is that kids in a small town grow up being able to talk to adults and learn the stories of their town. When you walk down the sidewalk in Sycamore, kids will greet you in a way I'm not sure happens in suburbs or big cities as much.

I just finished this course. I want to give a frank feedback since I see a lot of untapped possibilities in this course. On the strengths, it began with a high note and got me glued with expectations and promises. The instructor sounded extremely comfortable and confident with her subject, and had a very calming and pleasant presence which helped establish a kind of "remote" trust. On the improvement areas, I however have a few to list. For one, the intensity, rigour and to-the-pointedness of the content sharply fell after the first week. Having known about mindfulness, Metta meditations, gratitude, it became personally disappointing to me how this course conveyed so little about them and impacted so less than can be possible with the time and space alloted. The framework which initially looked hopeful is perhaps not the best framework, as much as is said about this not being "spectator course". Because this format diluted the intensity and possibility of the course, making it drag and bore towards the end. I wish there were guest interviews of more experienced academicians than what happened here as interviews from which there was little to learn. Honestly, this is my 4th of 5th course on positive psychology and this one will have to make many a fixes to any other that I've taken on coursera. The course ended and I find myself not a tad upbeater or nourished, or knowing something useful that I did not know already other than about vegas nerves which really did not make sense to end user who are here to know what and how to do things and feel better.

You and your pooch are sitting on the couch on a quiet afternoon enjoying reruns of "Lassie." Then, you hear it coming closer and closer; the wail of a siren. Now, it's no longer a quiet afternoon because your faithful friend has decided she'd like to howl along with the siren. Kind of a duet. But then, all the other dogs in the neighborhood join in and it's a full chorus! So, why do dogs howl when they hear sirens?
The Wolf
It all starts with the wolf. As you may know, dog's ancestors are wolves and wolves use howling for long-distance communication. Wolves, like dogs and coyotes, are social animals who live in packs and they howl together. Howling likely tells other packs that they are healthy, alive and living in a certain area. Also, a wolf who is separated from their pack might use howling to find his relatives. You might call it a form of natural GPS. In addition to howling, canines also use barking and growling to communicate.
Thus, researchers believe that when a dog hears a high-pitched sound such as a siren, she's communicating with another dog. Is it a friendly howl? Maybe it is and your dog is just saying "hello." But you may have noticed that as the siren sound fades, your dog stops howling. Kinda like she thinks she has told that other dog where to go and was successful in making that dog go there!
Not all dogs howl at sirens and there hasn't been any research to determine why this is so. Maybe some need that connection to what they think are other dogs and some just don't
Does it hurt?
You may have wondered if the siren sound hurts your dog's ears. Well, as we know, dogs have pretty darn good hearing and it's much better than that of humans. They can hear very high-pitched sounds that we can't (think dog whistle). Their hearing range extends up to 45 hertz and ours only to 23. But, veterinary behaviorists point out that most dogs don't run and hide or show other indications of pain upon hearing sirens.
So if you think your dog is saying "Ouch, that really hertz" it probably really doesn't.
One other possibility to Consider
In your house, you're the pack leader. So, whenever there's anything crazy happening like a siren, maybe your dog just wants to communicate to you that there's something big going on out there!
Why do dogs howl when they hear sirens? However you look at it, it's probably a way to communicate.
We love comments so be sure to leave yours below. Does your dog howl? Let us know.

Concrete mixer operation
miaoshuai > 07-20-2018, 01:40 AM
The concrete mixer can mix materials such as dry hard concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete and mortar, and is a highly efficient model. It can meet the construction needs of all kinds of large and medium-sized prefabricated components, highways, bridges, water conservancy, docks, and concrete projects for industrial and civil construction projects. Let us introduce the precautions for the use of concrete mixers so that everyone can better use their efficiency when using them.
3m3 Concrete Mixer Truck
Concrete mixer operation precautions:
1 Unplug the two pins on the large roller of the upper hopper.
2 Check if there is any foreign matter in the mixing tank.
3 Check if the electrical grounding is good.
4 When the power is turned on, you should first click the stirring button to check whether the phase sequence of the power supply is reversed. Otherwise, it is not allowed to start other mechanisms.

5 If the jog test is not carried out, the hopper must not be lifted.
6 Check the water supply of the pump, the agitation and the operation of the lifting mechanism are normal, and the overall operation is stable.

"It is with a kind of fear that I begin to write the history of my life."
My FaB challenge book is named 'the story of my life'. It is the autobiography of Helen Keller. It begins with her vague memories of her life before becoming deaf and blind. She mainly talks about her education with Miss. Anne Sullivan. She expresses her love for reading and language in this book. It also contains some of the letters she wrote during her life from 1887-1901 and miss. Sullivan's supplementary account of Helen's education. It also has some photos of Helen Keller with Miss. Sullivan and many other distinguished people. It tells us how the most famous deaf and blind child got her education.
"In a thousand ways they (Helen's friends) have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges, and enabled me to walk serene and happy in the shadow cast by my deprivations."

To get a picture of Enno Poppe as a composer, you need only watch him in action as a conductor. And that's not necessarily referring to the clip from 2014 of him with Ensemble mosaik as the 'augmented conductor' of Alexander Schubert's Point Ones in which, hooked up to an array of motion sensors, his wild gestures trigger live electronics while continuing to guide the ensemble's players.
Even without the exaggerations of Schubert's piece, when conducting, Poppe's limbs trace an invisible, dazzlingly complex blueprint of lines, angles and curves. A musician from Chicago's Ensemble Dal Niente described him as seeming to have five elbows. Another analogy might be that of watching a time-lapse film of the growth of an apple tree: a tangle of vigorous, jutting perpendicular branchings that occupy every possible axis while remaining rooted in a unified organic purpose.
The geometry and mathematics of nature are familiar concepts in the music of Poppe, who was born in the dying days of the 1960s in Sauerland, Germany, studied conducting and composition with Friedrich Goldmann and Gösta Neuwirth at Berlin's Hochschule der Künste and has conducted Ensemble mosaik since 1998.
As well as the growth patterns of plants, his work draws upon concepts of cells, mutations and the interplay between genotype and environment, symmetry and irregularity, original and mutation that he describes as 'dented nature'. His one-word titles evoke the idea of fundamental substances, their everyday qualities explored and transformed: Ӧl (Oil, 2001-4), Salz (Salt, 2005), and even Brot (Bread, 2007) – one wonders whether Mehl (Flour) and Hefe (Yeast) lurk, unfinished, in the Poppe store cupboard to complete the recipe.
This fascination with patterns, systems and interactions extends from the cellular level to the human and beyond. A key landmark in Poppe's career, the music theatre work Interzone (2003), which was performed at hcmf// 2010, presents the entangled comings and goings in a disjointed urban landscape inspired by William Burroughs' writings of his time living in Tangiers.
Combing text by the German poet and novelist Marcel Beyer with multi-screen video projections by Belgian film-maker Anne Quirynen that evoke the compound vision and meandering pathways of bees, it depicts the city not as a set of fixed locations, but as a series of interactions and superimpositions.
More recently, Poppe's multi-part piece Speicher (2008-13) tackles the unreliability of memory, with musical ideas 'remembered' by the large ensemble: recurring, distorted and recontextualised. Asking musicians to navigate such shifting, unstable territory is a common Poppe feature: most infamously, 2003's Rad (Wheel) requires duetting keyboardists to steer confidently through a score in which they have to trigger shifts into around a hundred different pre-programmed microtonal and spectral scales.
Scherben (2000/2008) and Fleisch (2017) are similarly demanding, the former compressing 121 'shards', some lasting only a few seconds, into a 13-minute piece, while the latter, for saxophone, electric guitar and drums, deconstructs rock music down to its molecules then rebuilds them with a jolt of galvanic energy.
With Rundfunk (2018), a concert-length tour through the history of synthesiser music guided by the most informed and passionate of fans, that approach finds realisation on a much larger scale. And in typical Poppe style, with its microtonally tempered software recreations, Rundfunk also offers a cellular reboot of that history into original and ever-evolving forms.

RIDER: Kaz Yoshima
THEN: Honda R&D; janitor
NOW: Reclusive tuning genius
I didn't go to college when I was young. I went to work at Honda instead—you could say I decided to take Honda College. My position? When I started, it was sweeping the floor.
"Honda's little 50cc Grand Prix bikes were pretty cool. That was the reason I went to Honda. The fIrst time I saw one, I knew I wanted to work there. This was 1965, maybe '66. The 50cc engine spins like 22,000 rpm. The valves were so tiny, like 6mm. The stems looked like toothpicks. I never had the bike, but I collected lots of parts. Honda used to throw away the factory racebikes, so I'd go through the trash and pick out pieces. I used to have some 50cc pistons—they were so tiny, 25mm diameter. One time I even found a six-cylinder head!
"I started off sweeping the fLoors, and they moved me around so I could learn. I wanted to work on GP bikes, but they stopped that program in '67. I went into the car program, did a lot of engine prototyping and spent lots of time in dyno rooms. Old-fashioned, but that's the way I learned the engine, in bits and pieces.
"I had a lot of fun, but wanted to do something different. That's why I came to America. I know I have an expiration date on my ass, so I'm going to move around. Those parts? I give them away to people I used to work with, and people who race my bikes. As a reminder, in case I don't come back."

We live in a beautiful and gifted country! Apart from the sun, the sea, the natural beauty, hospitality and friendly atmosphere, Greece has been identified as the home of the Mediterranean diet. In the world wide bibliography there have been references of the traditional diet of Greeks, and especially the residents of Crete, especially those of the older generations. A diet that is balanced, full of essential nutrients, containing all of food groups in ideal proportions. Many studies show that the Mediterranean diet is responsible for the long life, and general good health that residents of the Mediterranean areas enjoy.
Over time however, we have adopted "western" lifestyle. Beyond any other advantages or disadvantages coming to one's mind, this lifestyle comes hand-in-hand with certain eating habits. Fast food, ready-made and processed foods are only some of these. Our eating habits are becoming more and more distant from the traditional Greek – Mediterranean diet. It is not a surprise, that obesity in Greece, and sadly child obesity, is now among the highest in the world. Although today more and more low-fat products are available, which we all try to consume instead of their full-fat version, the result seems to deteriorate with. This is not at all a coincidence.
For all these reasons we decided to make an effort targeting:
- To improve your perception of healthy eating and balanced diets.
- Help you adopt better, healthier eating habits.
- To offer you produce, which are carefully chosen, with the following criteria:
- All products are carefully selected with health in mind, mostly from Greek, small producers
- They are not widely distributed in retail chains. We choose products which are natural, pure, healthy, looking for the original Greek taste of that our ancestors enjoyed, and supporting the small Greek producers who do not have access to the mass market.
- They offer excellent value for money
Our effort will be realized in 2 ways through greatfood.gr:
- Through our e-shop. On its digital "shelves" you will find products categorized in a helpful manner. The ordering process is simple, and your order will arrive at your door quickly, economically and safely. The product range will be constantly widened, as we locate products and producers matching our expectations.
- Our blog will be very regularly updated with interesting articles on topics such as:
- Nutrition and health.
- Greek producers
- Sustainability
- Greek nature
- Local and seasonal products
- Fitness and exercise
- Recipes (because healthy eating does not mean boring)
We want to offer you access to objective information, filtered by our own personal experiences, without any subscription fees, purchases, or any other expenditure on your part. Are you wondering why? Just because we too have been through this unpleasant path. Every-day life, constant rushing, job, carrier, unsettled eating, weight gain. We ignored basic values,and we underestimated the importance that a healthy body can have in our everyday personal and professional life. Until we realized how vain all this was and we found the motivation and drive to get out of it. We have read a lot, in many cases contrasting information, we tried it on ourselves, we continuously got updated, and we finally made it! We understood how easy it was for anyone to maintain a healthy lifestyle, without restrictions in essential food groups, and without having to follow exhausting programs. We will share it all!
Join us!
You can also participate with your comments and suggestions. You can contact us by email at firstname.lastname@example.com and send us material that you think is relevant to our blog. You can also suggest new topics, which you would be interested in, and we will try to offer you as much as we can.

Ain't no stoppin' us now
Sue needed 2 more pansies to finish planting up the pots on the top terrace and so we went to a garden centre yesterday ... foolish! ... except it was me this time. Whilst in the garden centre I saw two Kaki trees. I first knew the fruit as Sharon Fruit but they then seemed to become Persimmons. Here in France they are called Kakis and they are delicious. We buy them in Lidls and they have been 49 cents each for a couple of years but have now gone up to 59 cents!
Seeing the trees in the centre, I thought 'why don't we grow some?' On our way home from Cahors we pass through a tiny village and we have noticed for a few years the crops of Kaki on at least 3 large trees. So we know that they will grow here.
Once home we discussed the possibility of fitting a Kaki into the Grand Garden Design. So, no sooner said than done. We jumped in the car and went off to the garden centre where we bought the last trees and, lo and behold, a Kaki tree in better condition and cheaper!!!
We made a bit of a detour on the way home with the tree and investigated roads and views we haven't experienced before. In the course of one of my 'projects' I have found some old photos of St Germain and also an app which allows me to 'merge' an old photo with a new one. So this necessitated taking an up-to-date version. This was duly done but we had also seen a view of the village and valley from the hills opposite us and we explored.
