2018: Thirty years since the creation of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). Over these years, many efforts have been made to re-democratize our country. The Collective Health Nursing Department of the São Paulo School of Nursing and the Maternal and Child and Public Health Nursing Department of the Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing of the University of São Paulo also celebrate their 30th anniversary. These departments are a part of the Brazilian social and political scenario which demands resistance to the non-military "war machine" proposed by Deleuze and Guattari(1), and clamors for the desiring machine, which is defined by the power of connection to the infinite, in all senses and in all directions(1). How can we produce points of connection?
Of themselves, desiring connections that produce life and health are collectively defined. It is not possible to speak of health without considering collectivities, connections: health cannot be produced or possessed by one individual or a group of individuals; it is the result of encounters, history, contexts, social aspects, culture, and collectivities.
In this study we propose a dialogue and reflection about collective health nursing practices, presenting what nurses have contributed or have failed to contribute to health services. Through this reflection paper we organize some of the authors' thoughts, who have experience with professional nursing, research and teaching in the collective health field. This dialogue and reflection was structured around the following sources:
a) Discussions held at the 3rd International Symposium on Policy and Practice in Collective Health, from the Perspective of Nursing, held in São Paulo in March 2017. One of the authors was part of a round table at the event about the practices of nurses and other collective health workers, which addressed some of the dilemmas presented in this paper, such as the limits of nursing education for broader practices in terms of the determinants of the health-illness process.
b) The research and personal and professional experiences of nurses, researchers, and professors in the field of collective health that resulted from the work of the Collective Health Research Center (Nupesco). This center was created by Maria Cecilia Puntel de Almeida, an active participant in discussions about nursing as a social practice, who used the labor process theory to support the understanding of professional education and labor market insertion to analyze the social determinants of nursing professional practice in health services(2).
Therefore, this study does not refer only to specific studies by the authors; it is a result of discussions among the authors and of their readings of the scientific literature(2-5), and interaction with students, professors, researchers, and health professionals. Thus, this reflection piece is based on the labor process theory as it applies to health and the professional experience of its authors.
As a social practice, we consider nursing a practice inherent to social, historical, political, economic and cultural contexts, and that carries different meanings. It is a social practice that is not performed in isolation, but is socially negotiated by nature. Nursing is work; one of the forms of work that constitute health care(6-7). Therefore, nurses are workers who sell labor power.
Supported by the Marxist framework of labor, Mendes-Gonçalves(8) shows that humans produce and create nature through the work process, and are also products and creators of the work process through nature(8). In other words, this relationship (humans-work) is dialectical: humans and nature are transformed in this process, in which intentionality differentiates animal work from human work, because man is able to project the results before its production and animals act on instinct(8).
In health, there is both a technical and social division of labor(6). In nursing, for example, the distribution of tasks among assistants, technicians, nurses and nurse midwives is not only technical, it is also social and denotes differences in power, salary, positions in society, and scientific knowledge. Health work is a special type of work because the product is consumed right on production(6); its products are immaterial and symbolic goods. Health neither storable nor measurable, although the production of procedures is often confused with health production.
Thus, the first reflection here is that our actions do not always produce health(3). When discussing the contributions of nursing to the implementation of collective health practices, to what practices are we referring?
Consider the complexity of the immaterial goods produced in health practices. These are not actions performed by an isolated professional category that decides about its contributions and actions on its own(9-10). Nursing practices are socially and historically built and part of the tensions of the sanitary, economic and political context. This means that they are not only determined, but also dialectically determining: they are the products and producers of contexts, services, and practices.
Therefore, collective health nursing practices cannot be considered separate from a project for society or disconnected from the world of labor and its transformations. Thus, Brazil's health and social policy context cannot be disregarded.
Collective health is not a synonym for public health. Collective health is constructed on biological, political and social aspects and includes the investigation of the determinants of the social production of health, illness, and care, thus taking on an interdisciplinary character that suggests the integration of different forms of knowledge from distinct professional backgrounds(11).
Thus, reflecting on collective health nursing practices requires associating them with other types of knowledge and considering a specific context. In our case, they will be connected with the SUS. In 2018, the SUS celebrates its 30th anniversary. Throughout this period, several aspects have threatened the implementation of its principles, especially because of economic interests and a scenario of growing privatization(12-13).
Other challenges include insufficient funding, system management, staff training dissociated from actual health needs and SUS principles, and healthcare practices that support a fragmented, hierarchical, bureaucratic model with weak social control and participation. Additionally, the system is overwhelmed with thousands of patients every day, communicable disease control, vaccinations, preventive measures, rehabilitation actions, a large healthcare network with different technological levels, and a bad reputation disseminated by all media vehicles.
The private healthcare system functions as a complement to the SUS and Brazilian nurses work mainly in the public system. Thus, it is important to ask: What position does this labor force take in the debate that polarizes health as either a "public and lawful good" or a "market good"(14)?
Through its organizations and workers, nursing has been favoring the interests of certain social groups, which do not necessarily include nursing workers themselves, as they do not belong to privileged classes (at least most of them). How does nursing position itself? Does it remain silent, as if these issues do not apply to it? Also, in everyday life, does it reproduce the discourse produced by common sense? This is yet another of the challenges: the politicization of nursing workers.
In 2007, Sanna(15) included political participation as one of the attributes of the nursing work process, in addition other processes (care, research, management, and teaching). Political participation does not necessarily imply joining professional associations, political parties or human rights organizations. Every moral judgment and attitude is a form of political participation, without which it is impossible to live in society and change the world(15-16). Lack of positioning results in a political positioning of which nurses are unaware.
One way to transform the object of health practices is to take a political stance in the workplace or in schools, organizing discussions about and strategies to achieve better conditions to operate this and other work processes(15).
Health practices are political actions, as they present intentionality and defend projects. When nurses, technicians, and assistants consider health as a right and not as charity, they are advocating policies and projects. Likewise, when treating others as objects and an assembly of body parts, they are also taking on a political position.
At the same time, the living conditions of the Brazilian population, unemployment, barriers to access to information, education, housing, food and transportation are all factors that condition health and determine health needs. These in turn support professional practices, projects and political positions. For example, ten years ago, nobody mentioned the need for nursing care for people and communities with yellow fever in the State of São Paulo. Yellow fever is not a result of a mere mosquito bite, in the same way that leprosy is not caused by a bacteria alone; these diseases are related to the life context and the social exclusion process of populations.
Depoliticizing and technifying nursing work often show these problems in their social and economic dimensions, simplifying them. Therefore, our practices are limited to yellow fever vaccination procedures and leprosy antibiotic prescription. We are not demeriting vaccines and medications; they are part of addressing the problem. However, they certainly do not encompass their complexity. As is well known, the prevalence of numerous complex situations in health, such as chronic diseases, violence, infectious and contagious diseases, and re-emerging diseases, such as pertussis, has increased in Brazil in recent years(17).
We highlight the thesis defended by Agreli(18) at the Nursing School of the University of São Paulo as it shows how the process of how collaborative interprofessional practice and teamwork in primary care became object of discussion in the country. The thesis presents aspects experienced every day in these services: older adults abandoned at home by relatives (in one case, the patient's wife had to travel and left the key with a neighbor, who came in and put some water in a bowl next to the bed, as is done with dogs); children asking community health agents (CHA) if they could go with them because they did not feel loved; young trafficking drugs; sexually abused children; battered women; unemployment; hunger; and rats inside pots(18).
All these situations question our cause-and-effect training that defines categories by simplifying measures: for diabetics, for pregnant women – as if all diabetics and all pregnant women were the same and had the same needs. They question our reductionist explanations that individualize the conditions of people and blame individuals for their living and health conditions.
Another challenge is professional education. The pedagogical tradition in Brazil encourages content sharing and simplification so that students can later put the pieces together. We have lost count of the times we have discussed undergraduate teaching in institutional environments and disciplinary meetings and have argued that specific content should only be presented to students in the last year of the program. Before then, students are still not prepared for it. This results in the misalignment between training and the complexity of health needs.
Furthermore, the nursing education model has led to the uncritical and alienated reproduction of health work processes, especially when based on pedagogical processes that do not allow reflection and are based on biological references. It is often based on learning concepts that give priority to content that must be 'absorbed' and reproduced by students without any connection to professional practices, and that are presented in fragments and out of context(19). And that is produced in authoritarian environments where the professor/student relationship reproduces submission and domination.
There is a concern about the duration of training programs, as if there were enough time to cover all necessary contents. This results in a focus on theoretical content and psychomotor development, with insufficient practice relative to the attitudes that are so essential to care delivery.
This method of teaching also affects the training of nurse technicians and assistants, whose challenge is even more troubling. Nursing programs play an important role in this discussion, because they aim to train nursing teachers to train nursing assistants and technicians.
Another aspect to consider regarding collective health practices is: if the living conditions of the population are degraded and difficult, so are the living conditions of health professionals. While it may seem obvious, it is hidden in an apparent opposition: those who provide care and those who receive it: health workers and patients; those who have technical-scientific knowledge and those who must obey this knowledge, respectively.
The technical and social distribution of nursing work results in a working class with wages that put these workers in situations similar to that of their patients. Obviously, this does not give them the right to choose not to work, but it poses the challenge of the fight for better wages and labor conditions through political participation and positioning.
Other health roles have also been degraded, such as that of psychologists, social workers and others who, just like nurses, earn salaries that close to minimum wage in the country (R$ 937.00). In this context, other challenges refer to the mobilization for salaries, living conditions, and the recognition of health work.
Typical management models used by the private health sector are often used as models for public services. The private sector is uncritically assumed to be more competent in management; thus, its logic, values, culture and perspectives are adopted without question. This is not exclusive to the health sector or even to Brazil: this is a worldwide trend that has been analyzed by experts in terms of its effects on education, social services, and health services. It is called the "new public management"(20).
The consequences of this new form of management are: flexible working hours, target-based performance payment, staff turnover rates that do not foster bonding and trust among teams and knowledge of the territory covered by the service. Unfortunately, our practices are based on this reality.
Another issue in our practices is the use of digital technologies. In her doctoral thesis, Pilotti(21), from France, discussed the interference of emails in the professional practice of physical therapists. She questioned the reduced physical contact. In addition to emails, mobile phones, the internet, and instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp have created a different context for work relationships. We can exchange ideas with someone who is far away about a case; patients have access to different information now when meeting a health professional, i.e, time, space, and information in health have taken on a new perspective(21).
What then, are the contributions of nursing? With all the discussion presented here, we believe that collective health nursing practices have an essential role in providing care to the Brazilian population. This role should be questioned continuously: At whose service? Based on what conceptions? For which project(s) of society?
Nurses are reference professionals in health care in all stages of life and in different territories for managers and administrators in decision-making processes. With their expanded notion of the health-illness-care process, nurses have a great impact on what gets chosen or not to be developed in the different territories, and the possibilities that present themselves for new health practices.
Nursing technicians and assistants facilitate access to health care every day, perform technical procedures, and enable communication between the team and patients. Community health agents, who are not part of the nursing team, but of primary health teams in different scenarios, report the reality and dynamics of the territories to the teams. They visit, talk to, embrace patients, and identify problems, demands and needs.
Several of the challenges perceived in the 1990s are still present(22), such as the population's demand for consultations with physicians, the distance kept by physicians between them and the reception desk or reception room where control actions are performed, and the repression of spontaneous demands by nursing professionals who are in the front line of primary care units.
Even though they were conducted two decades ago, several studies(3,7,19) have shown the limits of health promotion actions, the technological (re)organization of the work process and teamwork. These aspects can be related to politicization, professional education, and the still prevailing conception of the health-illness-care process that guides our practices.
We conclude this reflection about the contributions of collective health nursing to the implementation of new health practices with an excerpt by a Deleuzian friend(23):
The river and the sea meet as a result of the active action of hope... Patiently, the river seeks the sea: stubborn, respecting its own longings, fearless... it overcomes obstacles, circumvents challenges... slows down and accelerates... but, it never stops dreaming and flowing. It dreams of the sea; but it does not settle; it seeks and fights for it with hope... And the sea dances; never giving up on living for the great encounter... to receive the river and, in this embrace, become a new revitalized sea, enlarged by the fruitfulness of the forests that are carried by the crystalline waters of the river that became sea.
Let us venture into new directions! Let us venture into other nursing practices!

Summit, GE, Excelerate in $1 bln LNG-to-power pact
Summit Power International joined forces with General Electric and Excelerate Energy to develop a $1 billion gas-to-power generation and offshore LNG import terminal in Menghaghat, Bangladesh.
The Meghnaghat II natural gas based combined cycle power plant would increase Sumit total installed generating capacity of over 3,000MW.
Under the memorandum of understanding signed by Summit with GE, through GE Capital's Energy Financial Services, GE would potentially provide $50 million of equity to Summit, to be used for the development of power projects in Bangladesh.
In addition, GE Gas Power Systems will have rights to supply equipment for the power projects based on gas turbine technology and developed in the next 36 months by Summit.
In order to provide feedgas for the projects, Summit LNG Terminal Company signed a 15-year FSRU charter deal with Excelerate Energy.
IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, has been engaged as the lead arranger for financing to develop the Meghnaghat II power plant.

Bonus Points Lift Cowboys Past No. 5 NC State in Italy
NAPLES, Italy – The Oklahoma State wrestling team picked up its sixth victory of the season Friday evening, holding off No. 5 North Carolina State at Naples High School in the first-ever NCAA wrestling dual held overseas. The Cowboys and Wolfpack split the dual at five bouts apiece, but it was bonus point wins from Derek White, Chandler Rogers and Kaid Brock that was the difference in the win.
The Cowboys and Wolfpack were neck and neck throughout the dual, with both teams trading blows and leads; however, trailing, 16-12, with two bouts to go, OSU used wins from Rogers and 174-pound junior Jacobe Smith to come away with the victory.
"I thought it was going to be a competitive dual meet," head coach John Smith said. "I thought we were in control after 133 with Kaid Brock picking up the tech fall. I thought we had something rolling. We ended up losing 141, 149 and 157. I've got to give them credit. They came back and punched us in three-straight matches and we had a chance to win two of the three."
"We looked a little too hesitant," Smith said. "These are matches where we can really see ourselves for who we are. They had something to do with it. They performed and put themselves in position to win the dual."
The win puts the wraps on a week in Italy for the Cowboys, who had the opportunity to explore Rome and Naples while also preparing for the dual.
"We had a good time," Smith said. "It was a good experience. We don't get to do this all the time, and we made history. I just really appreciate the people who were involved and made it comfortable for us to get good workouts in good facilities. I enjoyed our clinic yesterday. You saw a bunch of young athletes that really love wrestling, both men and women. Those things are fun to be a part of. That's our future and our future looks good."
NC State struck first, as No. 3 Pete Renda dealt Cowboy freshman Keegan Moore a 3-0 loss in a tough match at 184 pounds. Heading into the third period trailing, 1-0, Moore chose neutral to open the final frame. The Cowboy took a couple of shots in the frame but couldn't convert on a score, and Renda finished the match with a takedown on a counter to finish off the 3-0 decision.
The Cowboys regained control of the dual with a couple of consecutive wins at 197 pounds and heavyweight.
Matched up with No. 7 Mike Macchiavello at 197, Preston Weigel bounced back from an early, 2-0, deficit to come up with a 5-4 decision. Weigel was able to tie the match up at two early in the second period with an escape before seizing control of the lead with a takedown midway through the frame. The OSU junior didn't allow Macchiavello an offensive score the rest of the way and racked up a couple of minutes of riding time to lock up the victory.
Derek White boosted his team-leading major decision total to six Friday with an 8-0 shutout win over Malik McDonald. White racked up a takedown and nearfall in the win, overwhelming McDonald to give the Pokes a 7-3 lead.
NC State picked up another win at 125 pounds with Nick Piccininni dropping a 9-5 decision to No. 8 Sean Fausz in his second loss of the season.
Kaid Brock got the Cowboys back on track at 133 with a big 16-1 technical fall over Tariq Wilson. Jumping on Wilson from the start, Brock scored two takedowns and four nearfalls in the match to win his 14th of the year.
NC State won three-straight matches at 141, 149 and 157, including a Kevin Jack victory over Dean Heil, to retake the lead.
With their backs against the wall and needing a couple of wins to remain undefeated, the Cowboys looked to Rodgers and Smith to carry them to victory.
Rogers had little trouble with Brian Hamann at 165 pounds, opening with a takedown and nearfall that put the redshirt junior in the lead for good. Rogers added another couple of takedowns before the final buzzer to walk away with the 13-1 major decision and tie the match at 16.
The night came down to 174 pounds, as Jacobe Smith and Daniel Bullard battled it out to decide the dual. Smith scored a takedown in the opening seconds to quickly take the lead, before adding another prior to the end of the first period. Smith would go on to win, 7-2, and help the Cowboys to their sixth win of the season.
The Cowboys head back to the States next week when they travel to Iowa City, Iowa, to continue their historic rivalry with the Iowa Hawkeyes. The dual is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 14 at 3 p.m.

An Oven Cleaners Blog
We now accept card payments! All through the power of 'The Cloud'
For a long time customers have asked us whether we take card payments, yet as a small business it's very difficlt for us to carry a fully charged card machine in our vans all day, not least with all the bank fee's, rental charges and payment fee's for each transaction.
So, when we opened Oven Cleaners Surrey up for business, we trialed a new, completely secure payment option called Izettle, and so far the results are fantastic.
We basically bring with us a card reader to the job. If you the customer would like to pay by card – we plug the Izettle reader into our Iphone (which works by bluetooth or even better a wifi signal)- the customer can then securely input their encrypted pin into the card reader. There is an Izettle App on the phone which can follow the transaction and we can let you know when it has been processed
Izettle is essentially an online banking service, like Paypal, and the customer receives a reciept by email once the transaction has been processed. Its a great little gadget, completeky safe and makes payment a whole lot quicker and more efficient.
So, if you need to know – we accept payment by Cash, cheque, BACS transfer and now card. And don't forget, plenty of tea and biscuits
One of the toughest ovens to clean – the SMEG.
All ovens have their own challenges when cleaning, no matter how dirty they are, but our brains are very often tested by the SMEG brand of oven. There are a number of elements which make it a hard job.
Firstly, the enamel is often very different to other brands/makes of oven. Certainly more so than the German Bosch/ Neff and Siemens ranges, or the French brand Miele. Grease and carbon stick to the enamel like cement – and I often think there must be a different reaction between the heat, fats and enamel when cooking with a SMEG.
Often the oven has ridges on the side panels and base, making it really tricky to dig and scrape out.
I've mentioned it in previous blogs and will highlight again in future, but SMEG Oven doors are a class apart in terms of cleaning and seperating. Often with 3 or 4 panes of glass, and invariably each of these has a grease drip going across it, so its a very painstaking process to clean these glass panes and reassemble at the end of the clean.
As well as this design feature – and this goes across the range with oven makes such as Diplomat, Beko and Zanussi, to name a few, the transfers indicating temperature/gas mark etc are often as easy to rub off with a brush of a finger rather than a cleaning cloth, meaning we have to be unbelievably careful as we clean around them. Obviously, at the start of any clean, we will talk this through with you – as most customers are aware of this flaw.
The storage drawer below the oven often collects all the drips and food debris inside it. The drawer is painted so again when cleaning this it is a fine line between cleaning it and having some of the paint wear away.
All in all this adds up to more time for a clean, as it's certainly a careful job to clean these cookers. Though, they do look great when they're done!
Horrific Weather – even for us fair weather Oven Cleaners!!!
A new year and torrential gales and cyclone style weather fronts have really hit the UK hard, but it hasn't stopped us at Oven Cleaners Surrey hitting the road and ploughing through flood water (Walton on Thames), traversing fallen trees (Epsom) and generally using our all terrain Citroen Nemo to get to people's ovens and give them a really good clean.
Often customers say to us that being an oven cleaner is a good job, as we're not outside like a roofer, plumber or gardener. That's a fair enough statement, especially during these winter months when snow, wind, rain and hurricanes hit the UK. However that doesn't mean we escape the elements – remember, we do have to go back and forth to our dip tank to collect and clean your oven shelves and pans, so even 20 minutes in torrential rain gets us utterly soaked!
All worth it though – and all part of the job!

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There's something special on the menu this year at the Feast of San Gennaro, New York City's longest-running and most revered religious outdoor festival in the country.
A new delicacy that takes an Italian twist on the popular cronut is sure to be a hit at the 87th annual festival.
"We made a croissant doughnut hybrid and being an Italian baker for the last 40 years I said, 'What goes better than a cannoli?'" Joe Floriano, owner of Enrico's bakeries in Westchester and the Bronx, told 1010 WINS.
The Cannoli Kronie is loaded with cannoli cream and topped with orange, pistachio and a red cherry.
"It's flaky like a croissant and it's dense like a doughnut," Floriano said. "It's like nothing else you've ever had before."
The Cannoli Kronie, along with other flavors such as Maple Bacon and Salted Caramel, will be sold at a booth which will be located on Mulberry Street between Kenmare and Spring streets.
The Cannoli Kronie sells for $6; other flavors cost $5.
The Feast of San Gennaro kicked off Thursday afternoon in Little Italy with the 12th Annual Cannoli Eating Competition.
When 1010 WINS' Eileen Lehpamer arrived at the Feast she was greeted by a man wearing a full-sized cannoli suit.

Impeachment Cocktails, Mob Movies, Crime Music
In the midst of impeachment investigations, it is often best to turn to cocktails and music.

Cocktail Codex, Summertime Crime

"I'm an occasional drinker, the kind of guy who goes out for a beer and wakes up in Singapore with a full beard." ―Raymond Chandler Barry Day, ed., The World of Raymond Chandler: In His Own Words (2015) Books about cocktails, on the other hand, are often unhelpful. Where they are practical, they lack insight. The best I have come across in a long time is The Cocktail Codex, by the folks at Death and Company: "'There are only six cocktails.'

Music for White-Collar Crime
I have never created the soundtrack for a film, nor do I have the competence to do so. I imagine, though, that it is very difficult to get right. Assembling a "soundtrack" for a cultural and legal lagoon like white-collar crime is not easy, either, and subject to much subjectivity. Nevertheless, here below is my Spotify effort. The list includes Bach, The Last Mr. Bigg, Miles Davis, Lana Del Ray, Duke Ellington, Jimi Hendrix, The Modern Jazz Quartet, Mozart, The Steve Miller Band and Warren Zevon. Please follow the "White Collar Wire" playlist on Spotify. I plan to refresh it every other Sunday.
New Year's Day: Reflection, Not Resolution
Reflection without discipline can be self-indulgent, especially as the year draws to a close and a new one opens before us. So, let us impose discipline; avoid white-collar crime (there will be plenty in 2018); and focus on music, booze and books. First, music is especially appropriate at this season, whether for reflection or not. Here is the Miles Black Quintet, Jazz For The New Year: As jazz critic for the Wall Street Journal (and JazzWax blogger) Marc Myers notes: Sixty-three years ago, on New Year's Day in 1955, pianist Teddy Wilson, bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Jo Jones went into a studio for Norgran Records and recorded The Creative…

Jean-Philippe RAMEAU (1683 - 1764): "Cantatas & Pièces de clavecin en concert"
Mathias Vidal,
rec: [no date], Entraigues-sur-la-Sorgue, La Courroie

Cover, track-list & booklet

; Violaine Cochard,
This disc comes without a title. It is clearly inspired by the commemoration of Rameau's death in 2014, the year of its release. It brings together specimens from two different genres. The
Pièces de clavecin en concerts
rank among Rameau's best-known compositions and are frequently performed and recorded. In comparison his chamber cantatas are far less known, and not that well represented on disc. In its scorings this recording differs from what is otherwise on the market.
The five
which were published in 1741 under the title of
Pièces de clavecin en concerts
were written under the influence of the very first sonatas for an obbligato harpsichord and violin published in France: the sonatas op. 3 by Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville. Even the title was inspired by that collection:
Pièces de clavecin en sonates
. Rameau scored his concerts for harpsichord, violin or transverse flute and viola da gamba. The publisher added a second part for a violin which could replace the viola da gamba, probably in order to increase sales. The
comprise three movements - except the second, which has four - which mostly refer to a character from Rameau's time, such as Forqueray - probably the famous gambist Antoine or his son Jean-Baptiste, or possibly another member of that family - and (Marin) Marais.
In this recording the
5e Concert
is performed in the scoring indicated by the composer. The
2e Concert
is played here with an oboe which either plays in alternation with the violin or
colla parte
. It is questionable whether this is in line with Rameau's intentions. Composers usually left much to the interpreters, but the title page doesn't give any indication that other instruments may be used. That in itself is not conclusive, but in this case the participation of an oboe is musically unsatisfying. It is too dominant, not only in relation to the violin but also to the harpsichord. The keyboard is the central element here and has the lead. It should not be overshadowed by one of the other instruments, but that is exactly what happens here. However, that is also due to Violaine Cochard's playing which is too restrained and rather bland. The
5e Concert
is played in the original scoring and here the result isn't that much better. On the whole I find these performances not very engaging and the dramatic elements which are always present in Rameau's music - a man of the theatre by instinct - are seriously underexposed.
Rameau's dramatic talents come also to the fore in his chamber cantatas. The emergence of this genre in France was the effect of the increasing influence of the Italian style dating from the beginning of the 18th century. French composers started to write such cantatas for performance in salons of the aristocracy and the upper echelons of the bourgeoisie. The form is modelled after the Italian cantata: a sequence of recitatives and arias. There are also differences. Italian cantatas were almost exclusively scored for high voices - soprano or alto - but French composers also wrote solo parts for a tenor or a baritone. Whereas most Italian cantatas are for voice and basso continuo, French cantatas often include parts for one or two treble instruments, called
. It is mostly left to the interpreters to choose which treble instruments to use. Most common were the violin and the transverse flute. Another option was the oboe, which is played here in both cantatas. In the second aria from
Le berger fidèle
Héloïse Gaillard plays the recorder. That cannot be excluded, but it also needs to be said that in Rameau's time the recorder was unmistakably in decline. The pastoral nature of the aria could probably be best expressed by using a transverse flute, but Ms Gaillard apparently doesn't play that instrument.
More problematic is the performance of these cantatas by a tenor. Both are originally scored for soprano. The choice for a tenor in the cantatas "reflects our wish to restore all their liveliness and their vivacity to these miniature dramas and is logically consistent with the characters they depict, the musician Orpheus and the shepherd Myrtil". I am quite surprised and not convinced by this line of argument. The logic of why a tenor is needed to create "liveliness" and "vivacity" escapes me. Can't a soprano do the same? The second argument is dubious. If the performance by a tenor is "logically consistent" with the respective characters, why didn't Rameau score these cantatas for such a type of voice? It is also questionable whether Orpheus and Myrtil are the protagonists in these cantatas. In both cases the recitatives are sung by a narrator who then announces the feelings of the respective characters in the arias, such as in the opening recitative from
Le berger fidèle
: "And thus his voice proclaims his grief to the echoes". In
even a large part of the middle aria is given to the narrator, and the closing aria sets out the moral of the story. The characters hardly play a role here; the arias are rather quotations of their feelings.
Although I have my doubts about the decisions in regard to the performance with a tenor of these cantatas, they are by far the best part of this disc. Whereas the Concerts are largely disappointing, Mathias Vidal delivers theatrical interpretations of the cantatas, showing convincingly how French and Italian elements have been mixed here. Now and then he uses a little too much vibrato but on the whole his singing is stylish, although it is regrettable that no historical pronunciation is adopted. As the cantatas constitute a relatively little-known part of Rameau's oeuvre it is these pieces which are the reason to consider this disc.

Considering the fact that Blizzard's MMORPG World of Warcraft has been enjoyed by fans for nearly 13 years and counting, it's understandable how the title's longevity could allow it to seep into the collective consciousness beyond the gaming world, as its popularity caused its own movie to be spawned, prompted South Park to dedicate an entire episode to the title, and, of course, inspired a plethora of parody videos. Speaking of the lattermost phenomenon, the YouTube channel known as Rkade Soup has now given the MMORPG the 8-bit NES treatment, by re-imagining the game as a top-down adventure title akin to The Legend of Zelda on the old console.
As seen below in the "What If?" styled video for World of Warcraft, the fan made NES rendition of the game starts out with a classic start up screen and allows would-be players to pick between the Alliance and the Horde, which then sends them to select what race they would like to represent, with the user choosing to be an orc. Following that, the character completely skips out on their first quest to instead join up with a group for a dungeon raid session even though they're only at Level 1, which plays out exactly how one would expect it to, with the orc nabbing all of the loot it doesn't deserve.
Without a doubt, Rkade Soup's re-imagining of World of Warcraft as an NES title is spectacularly done, as it manages to scale back the title's sweeping score into a neat little chiptune symphony, pokes fun at the aspects of WoW's clan culture, and provides a close portrayal of what the graphics would be like if it were originally made as a game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Of course, not every element is as true-to-life as possible, for not only does the original NES lack the capabilities of connecting online, but also there are more colors and pixels used than the console could actually handle.
Nevertheless, Rkade Soup's NES version of World of Warcraft is meant to be taken as a delightful diversion of sorts, so expecting verisimilitude out of a non-existent product would be counter-intuitive. Should there be Blizzard and WoW fans out there who enjoyed the YouTuber's latest creation, they would do well to see the same channel's work that imagines what Overwatch as an NES game would look like.
World of Warcraft is available for PC and Mac.

During his 24 years at Microsoft, Lovering rose to become one of the company's elite Technical Fellows. Splunk investors include Bellevue's Ignition Partners, a venture firm led by a number of Microsoft veterans. UPDATE: Lovering told me he'll be hiring five to 10 developers over the next year to work at Splunk's office, which is going to be in South Lake Union. Ignition also announced today that Frank Artale is joining the firm as managing director. Artale worked at Microsoft before joining a series of enterprise startups, including several backed by Ignition. He was chief executive of Consera before it was sold to Hewlett-Packard, and vice president of XenSource before it was sold to Citrix, where he was most recently vice president. Ignition's release said Artale will focus on core infrastructure, networking and security investments for Ignition Venture Partners IV, a $400 million fund.

text: cumberland77 1 #1 Posted September 5 Hi All, total newbie here, apologies if anything i post is wrong or useless info. i need some guidance as to what to do next, I posted a parcel paid for via parcel2go and the item arrived damaged, the value of the item was £185 and i paid for parcel protection to that value. the item was a diving regulator and a completely sealed unit so no components can be replaced. i immediately go on live chat when the buyer of the goods told me the compass part had been crushed. on live chat the claim was approved and passed to higher management for payment as it was 'high value', then around 10 days later i got an email saying the claim couldn't be paid as the item was actually prohibited as it contained water!! At first parcel2go offered £90 compensation but after a lot of arguing they agreed to pay the claim in full. This was agreed on 09/08/2019 and they advised 3-5 working days for the payment to arrived and they have now repeatedly been saying this for a month, at my wits end i paid and raised a claim with the small claims court. I started the process on the 03/09/2019, the claim was 'raised' on 04/09/2019 and today i was paid £185 by parcel2go not the amount which was advised by Money Claims Online of £242.06 including original postage cost, the insurance protection and the court fees. i need guidance, do i leave the claim outstanding or do i close it as they paid me too close the claim being opened?

1988 Patiala road rage case: Punjab govt asks SC to uphold Navjot Singh Sidhu's conviction
The Punjab government on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to uphold cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu's conviction in 1988 Patiala road rage case. Lawyer appearing for the Punjab government told Supreme Court that the statement given by Sidhu denying his involvement in the case was false.
Thirty years after an elderly man died in a road rage case allegedly involving Punjab Tourism Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu, the Supreme Court on Tuesday commenced hearing final arguments on his appeal challenging a Punjab and Haryana High Court verdict convicting him.
Sidhu and his friend Rupinder Singh Sandhu were initially tried for murder but the trial court in September 1999 acquitted the cricketer-turned politician. However, the High Court reversed the verdict and held him and co-accused Rupinder Singh Sandhu guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder for the death of Gurnam Singh in Patiala in 1988.
The High Court sentenced them to three-year imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh each on the convicts. He was given bail in 2007 by the top court, which had also stayed his conviction to enable him contest the Lok Sabha bypoll from Amritsar that was caused by his resignation following the conviction.
In his appeal filed in the top court in January 2007, Sidhu had contended that the High Court should not have reversed the trial court's order of acquittal without there being any compelling reasons and circumstances.
According to the FIR in the case, Sidhu and Sandhu were allegedly present in a Gypsy parked near the Sheranwala Gate crossing on December 27, 1988m while Gurnam was on his way to a bank in a Maruti car with two others. As the deceased asked the Gypsy occupants to give them way, he was beaten up by the accusedm who fled the scene. Gurnam was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead.

Great book. Dr. Dread aka Gary Himelburg, has been a player in the production of reggae music and distribution of reggae music around the world for many years. Through RAS Records and Tafarian Music Publishing, Dr. Dread has introduced reggae artists and music from Jamaica to the rest of the world.
This book is an extremely well written, easy to read and digest autobiography of Dr. Dread's relationships with artists and with the Rastafarian movement. One of the most refreshing aspects of the book is that Dread is a Rasta himself and spends some time explaining what true Rastafarian beliefs entail and mean. For him, and for others involved, there is a depth of spiritual practice that goes far beyond the suburban teenage belief in Rasta as an excuse to smoke pot. In fact, although the herb makes appearances in this book, it is in the context of its place as part of the religious practices in Rastafarianism.
Another refreshing aspect is that while Bob Marley is mentioned in appropriately reverential tones as one of the founders of the Wailers and an important figure in Jamaica and the reggae movement, the book does not overly focus on him, thus allowing many other acts who have made important contributions to reggae to have their day in the sun.
The first third of the book covers the authors travels through South America, Colombia and ultimately, finding his way to Jamaica. In many ways, this third is also a love letter to Jamaica. By that, I mean that he really takes you there so that whether you have been or not, you have the feel of the people, the smell of the beach and the jungle and the sea breeze, the taste of the food and the feel of the sand as well as the sound of the music firmly entrenched in your mind. These are important elements to all world music as they establish for the reader, the setting in which this music is created.
The second third of the book is about the author's interactions with individual reggae artists and groups. This encompasses everything from individual songs, to production of albums, to touring issues. It takes the reader from ska, to traditional reggae to dancehall reggae to rap and hip hop that have been influenced by reggae. Readers will probably be surprised by the number of acts they recognize. If not the acts, then many songs mentioned will be familiar.
This is also a valuable introduction that all musicians should read about how the music business works. Dr. Dread worked from a particular philosophy that was greatly influenced by his beliefs in Rastafarianism and personal spirituality. He takes the opportunity to point out how artists are frequently duped out of monies they should be receiving from their music: from publishing, performing and touring to merchandising and promotion.
The final third of the book focuses on the realities of life. While Dread made money in music, he also lost it. How being an artist doesn't really pay and many artists and producers are forced to get "real jobs" in order to afford to be able to do what they love. Hands up all artists that have taken those jobs they hate for the same reasons. He talks about his loathsome experiences in working for the man and how his personal health issues played into his need for health insurance. Hands up again, artists.
A great read for lovers of reggae, musicians, artists and those leading the life on the road less traveled or those wanting to love it vicariously through others who have done so already.

If you've lived in the Golden State for a good amount of time, and you happen to be in possession of a sweet tooth, you likely, on occasion, get a hankering for a See's candy. Maybe "on occasion" for you means weekly, or daily; we certainly aren't judging.
But the classic checkerboarded See's boxes are a California holidaytime staple, for sure. So when the 90-year-old company announces a contest, and that contest involves an oh-so-rare, oh-so-Willy-Wonka-ish peek behind the scenes, and there are free lollypops to boot, we unhand our favorite nuts and chews and take notice.
National Lollipop Day is on Wednesday, July 20, and the See's locations throughout the Golden State -- there are over 200 of 'em -- will be handing out free lollypops (there will be boxed lollypop specials as well). In addition, there's that contest we mentioned, which will fly a lucky lollypop lover to San Francisco for a rare See's factory tour. The lollypop lover's BFF gets to go, too.
It's all a bit "the man behind the curtain," right? We suspect that See's is made in the usual and traditional way, without a room full of edible flowers. But it would still be a pleasure to see candies get dipped in the way they've been for decades. Figure if you win you'll brag about it forever.

Peru-hosted UNITAS 2017 concludes
Armed forces from 19 nations concluded two weeks of multinational exercises and events at-sea and in port, in Loma, Peru.
The 58th iteration of the longest running multinational naval exercise closed on July 26.
Participating nations utilized 30 vessels, 28 aircraft as well as several submarines and amphibious vehicles to complete six live-fire exercises and 37 combined maritime events during UNITAS 2017.
Sailors and marines also participated in a community relations project assisting schools and a hospital a northern Peruvian area affected heavily by recent flooding.
The exercise was comprised of two phases, UNITAS Pacific and UNITAS Amphibious, both occurring concurrently with multinational partners.
UNITAS Pacific was designed to train each navy to conduct combined naval operations through the execution of littoral warfare, anti-piracy, maritime interdiction operations, countering transnational organized crime, anti-surface warfare, electronic warfare, communications exercises, and air and amphibious operations.
UNITAS Amphibious took place in the vicinity of Callao, Ancon and Salinas de Huacho, Peru, and was aimed at improving partner nations' ability to plan combined amphibious operations, stability operations, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions in the region.
"I want to thank and congratulate all who have participated in UNITAS 2017 for the work you have done," said Peruvian Rear Adm. Alberto Alcala, commander, Surface Force Peru. "To the young men and women involved in thank you for your professionalism and leadership, I hope this is an opportunity you will never forget."
UNITAS, which means "unity", began in 1960, making it the world's longest-running annual multinational maritime exercise.

I leave tomorrow for a trip to DC that seemed to blow in from nowhere, and is a vast door opening up. Best Friends, the exemplary and inspirational animal Sanctuary in Utah, this summer convened a group of faith leaders, representing 21 religions, to create a Religious Proclamation for Animal Compassion. I first read of it in their magazine, and regretted we hadn't known about the process. Well, about 2 weeks ago I received a generic email inviting me to be a guest at the historic signing of this document in Congress. I called to see if we could actually be a signatory, only to discover that the Buddhist representative was Lama Kunzang Dorjee, an extraordinary Lama from Bhutan who visited here in August, while I was on retreat, and blessed all our animals. What a connection. Even more amazing, as Lama Kunzang Dorjee is unable to be there, he has honoured me/Tara's Babies with the opportunity to sign this document as the representative of our faith. This is truly a blessing.
The ceremony is not the end, but the beginning of profound change. The Proclamation will go on-line, and the intention is to have 1 million signatures with in the next 18 months. During this time, the faith representatives will travel and talk about compassion for animals. encouraging people to embrace the relationship between faith, humanity and kindness to beings. The process will culminate in an international convention with world religious leaders. How amazing.
I am not a faith leader, but I have the good fortune to have connected with a Teacher who has shown me from the inside out that compassion, kindness, truth and pure qualities will change the world. So I am glad to be able to be part of this process, and know that if I rely on that inner Truth of my teacher, I can be a vehicle of benefit. I have no sense right now of what the future will bring, but I do know it is a coming of age for Tara's Babies, in the breadth of Jetsunma's vision.
I am looking forward to meeting the founders of Best Friends; I just read the book about the first 25 years, and I have nothing but respect for their commitment and dedication.
On the home level, I am the joyful mother of the little dog now called Madelaine, who was part of our rescue from a kill shelter in Arkansas. Some adjustment happening amongst the troops, but really everyone is being good. She is so much smaller than my other three, but bouncing with happiness; Except if I raise my voice or move my arm in a certain way, then she cowers. i am sure she was abused. I look into her beautiful brown eyes, so brimming with love and think how could it be she was hurt, abandoned and then slated to be killed. This is the why every heart, every mind needs to open to that deep well spring of raw compassion, to which there is no end.

Green finance will soon become a thing of the past
Green finance will soon become a thing of the past
As the great and the good gather this week in Bonn for COP23 to discuss progress on the 2015 Paris Agreement, the discussion will focus on what individual countries are doing to make good on their commitments. But increasingly and inevitably, talk is turning to how they are going to pay for it.
Given the sheer amount of capital required, according to some estimates $90 trillion, it is a burden too great for national public purses alone. Private capital is required at an unprecedented scale — but is the financial services industry going to deliver it?
The answer is yes. While Paris was all about countries doing the right thing, financial services remain, like any other industry, about growth. And in this instance, the two can coincide.
At the same time, there's a small revolution going on in corporate lending. Banks are reconnecting with their stakeholders by revitalizing the 'use of proceeds' clause — usually left as 'general corporate purposes' - by specifying what a loan is for and sticking to it. I predict this will become increasingly common as banks see the sense in making clearer what their loans are for — and demonstrating the social usefulness of what they are doing.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the burgeoning green finance market where loans are made to specific carbon-reducing or environmentally beneficial projects.
While green finance is about climate change, it also about the inherent business sense in mitigating risk in a world where governments are determined to see an energy transition take place. At the same time, population growth demands clean water, dependable food supplies, efficient housing and transportation and clean energy. All very investible areas of demand.
What is new is seeing borrowers allocating the proceeds of their loans more specifically, showing demonstrable commitment to communities and sustainable projects.
Eventually this can lead to better risk ratings, lower capital allocation and therefore higher inherent profitability. This needs time and data but a growing number of banks are now betting on the transition. Green loans are following the methodology of green bonds which have been around for 10 years since the first World Bank bond in 2008. Well over $100 billion of green bonds will be issued in 2017 alone — another record year — with over $300 billion of bonds now outstanding.
Investors have driven this explosive growth. And they are the key to the market's development too, as you might expect. Take Bank of England Governor Mark Carney's Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure, which might at first glance be mistaken for a roadmap towards more regulation for corporates and their environmental footprint. But it's actually a guide for corporates, their lenders and their investors to better manage risk, in this case the risk of exposure to climate change.
The U.K. government has recognized in launching the Green Finance Taskforce to accompany the Clean Growth Strategy presented last month that it is looking at practical ways of encouraging the development of the financial markets — not subsidies and tax breaks — in the belief that the commercial imperative will be strong enough in itself to carry things forward.
From housing loans to venture capital and infrastructure investment, green means profits as well as climate risk mitigation. In this sense it is no different from regular finance — in time we won't even draw the distinction.

Customers compare 13389 to these similar products
Products Featured in this Video
Today on our 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, we're going to compare our three best hitch options available; CURT Hitch part number 13389, Draw-tite Hitch part number 75305, and our Hidden Hitch part number 87719. Each one of these hitches is a class 3 hitch that has a two inch by two inch receiver tube opening. All three hitches are capable of up to 350 pounds of tongue weight, with a 3500 pound tow capacity. As you can see, all three hitches are similar. The Draw-tite and the Hidden Hitch are actually exact duplicates of each other. The install of each of our hitches is going to be similar.
As you can see, the style and shape is also similar. They all have a nice black powder-coated finish to resist rust and corrosion that can happen over time. It's been my experience when installing these hitches that the CURT Hitch, in it's design, is slightly easier to get in place and secure. One of the really nice features about our Draw-tite and Hidden Hitch, is the second pre-drilled hole in the receiver tube. This is designed to use with the J pin style anti-rattle bolt and lock. Once installed, our Curt Hitch is going to have approximately four inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of the bumper.
From the top of the receiver tube opening down to the ground, it's going to be approximately 12 1/2 inches. For our Draw-tite and Hidden Hitch, from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of the bumper, is approximately three inches. From the top of the receiver tube opening down to the ground, is about the same at 12 1/2 inches. This will assist you selecting accessories such as a ball mount, bike rack, or cargo carrier. There you have it for the three best hitch options available for our 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan..

Last week the vape industry took an internet 'shellacking' equivalent to the walloping Alistair Overeem sustained at the hands of Francis "The Predator" Ngannou several weeks ago.
Some of the vilifying internet headlines from the past week:
Teens Who Vape Are 7 Times More Likely to turn to Regular Cigarettes— ConsumerReports.
Vaping More Common Than Smoking Among Teens—
Wicked Local Burlington
Pitt study suggests 'vaping' could lead to cigarette use in young adults—TribLive
Vaping, more common than smoking among teens, come under scrutiny—
The Patriot Ledger.
Teens Vaping E-Cigs Up To 7X More Likely To Smoke Later, But Not Vice Versa— Forbes
Okay. Perhaps the MMA analogy was a bit of a stretch, but the headlines above tell no lies…
Or do they?
According to an article published in The Guardian, "The Monitoring the Future Study" reports that youngsters nowadays are more likely to experiment with e-cigarettes than regular cigarettes. The article added that this is concerning as it indicates that e-cigarettes are no longer a viable alternative to smoking but rather just as addictive as traditional cigarettes. The article, however, failed to mention that not only are e-cigarettes less addictive, but unlike those who experiment with cigarettes, the majority of these youngsters never develop an addiction.
"Smoking rates amongst teenagers are at an all-time low," says The Institute for Social Research, which indicates that smoking rates among high schoolers (seniors) have dropped from 36.5% in 1997 to 9.7% this year— a 73% reduction.
These figures are critical in that they confirm what many public health experts have been saying all along— that warnings which allege vaping to be the catalyst behind a smoking revival, and that e-cigarettes may act as a gateway to smoking are unfounded based on the statistics above.
An article published on Reason.com; a monthly print magazine covering politics, culture, and ideas— pointed out that teenagers who vape have not allowed themselves to become hooked on nicotine in part because the majority are vaping 0-nic e-juice strictly for the flavor if nothing else. Additionally, the article added that even those who vape nicotine do so at too low of a level to develop an addiction or habit.
I am no wordsmith nor do I claim to be, but isn't there a term used when information is intentionally withheld in order to mislead, dodge, evade or even shilly-shally?
Oh yeah, there is such a word, it's called: prevaricate.

Google shocked the tech world back in December of 2012 when, out of nowhere, it announced that Google Apps Free Edition was going bye-bye. I was also a bit disappointed to hear about this, as it provided a free way for clubs and small businesses of 10 users or less to leverage the power of Google Apps for their email, calendaring, contacts, etc.
Yet as a consultant to numerous clients supporting clients on the Free edition, who knows the unreasonable expectations they sometimes hold the (free) service to, I can see Google's justification for pruning the bushes here. We can all agree: it was good while it lasted.
Luckily, there is another stable (and also completely free) option for those who want to route email for their custom domain through something other than terrible POP or IMAP email through their webhost. I've got nothing against webhosts themselves — but their 'free' email solutions are horrible. From GoDaddy to 1and1 to the other big boys all advertising their 'free' email services, none of them are worth their weight in salt.
Enter Outlook.com. Yes, that fierce new competitor to Gmail that is quickly picking up steam. BetaNews writer Mihaita Bamburic pitted it head to head against Gmail, and while he claims it doesn't topple Gmail (yet), it is still a very solid solution to free email. And Microsoft has been doing anything but sitting on its heels with this new cloud service.

Daniel said the Get Set for the Games Travel Advice for Business Program had helped them identify the challenge some of their staff will face in getting to and from work at this time.

The Get Set for the Games Team is ready to help your business with your Games time planning.

I have recently introduced a few new products into my skincare routine so thought I would share them with you.
I am still obsessed with Sunday Riley Luna Night Oil. I use this three nights a week and the results are always visible. My full review of this oil can be found here.
Same with Alpha H Liquid Gold. I use this at least four times a week and the results are fantastic. My full review can be found here.
Newer products I have been loving are –
Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream
A good eye cream is essential and I really like this one. I have always been a fan of Olay products. They provide good skincare at a great price. This is one of their more expensive products but its worth it. The cream is a lovely peachy colour which colour corrects dark circles but for me, I have noticed a visible reduction in the appearance of my fine lines and wrinkles.
It's a lightweight cream which melts easily into your skin.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask
I love this stuff. It can be used as a hydrating mask but I use it as a night moisturiser. It's a great thick cream which I really need during winter as my skin is always so much drier. I apply a thick layer before bed each night and let it work its magic overnight.
Lanolips 101 Ointment
Everyone has been raving about Lanolips so decided to find out what all the hype was about.
So this stuff great as a lip balm but it can be used for so many other things. I use it not just on my lips, but I regually add a small pea size amount to my night cream and it gives that extra shot of hydration when needed.
It's a really thick balm and its so thick, it can be a struggle to get it out of the tube but its such a great products and this tiny tube lasts for ages.
The Body Shop Rose Hand Cream
My favourite smell is Rose. As soon as I see any skincare that's rose scented I have to get it. This is a lovely light weight hand cream which is great for daytime because it absorbs quickly. I love the smell it's so beautiful and fresh and it keeps your hands soft and smooth.
Thanks for reading

"I didn't want to get any cats because I don't want to be all sad when they die one day." I said as I was walking my eight year old son Dante to his dentist appointment today.
"A little too late now since we already got cats!" Dante said, "Besides, you need to feel sad sometimes."
"What?" Why would an eight year old boy say something like that?
"It is just good to experience a variety of emotions." Dante said as if this was just common knowledge.
"I'll be sure to remind you of this when the day comes." I said.
