The ANC is gearing up for the 2021 elections with its focus squarely on embattled municipalities. The party's secretary general, Ace Magashule, is heading to Nelson Mandela Bay on Wednesday with a contingent of National Executive Committee (NEC) members.
In a letter signed by Magashule, which News24 has seen, the party says its NEC members will be touring the country to intervene in various regions facing upcoming conferences or problems in their councils.
"The programme is primarily focused on municipalities faced with various challenges. These include cases where provincial and regional structures intend to bring changes to the leadership of the municipalities," the letter reads.
Nelson Mandela Bay has been rocked by scandal after scandal since UDM mayor Mongameli Bobani took over from the DA with the aid of the ANC and other opposition parties, including the EFF.
Four motions of no confidence have been tabled against Bobani. All have failed.
The most recent motion was orchestrated by the DA and the ANC.
With the recent resignation of DA leader Mmusi Maimane, and the re-emergence of Helen Zille as the party's federal council chair, the ANC's top brass say this has affected the "functioning of municipalities", "hindering service delivery".
"[Consequently] the situation has necessitated a need for the NEC to give guidance and political perspective on the approach in which the ANC caucus must handle these matters."
NEC delegates Nomvula Mokonyane, Dakota Legoete, Jeff Radebe, David Masondo, Meogo Matube and Tony Yengeni will form part of the delegation which will engage with party volunteers and branches.
At the heart of the interventions are two valuable metros the party lost in the 2016 municipal elections - Nelson Mandela Bay and Johannesburg. The party has been wooing DA coalition partners in Johannesburg to regain the metro, following executive mayor Herman Mashaba's dramatic resignation from the liberal party.
A provincial leader who sits on the NEC said the party is considering fresh elections in both metros to leverage the DA's very public power struggles, marked by the resignations of high-profile leaders.
"At the centre of all these interventions is the maintenance and building stability in our municipalities as we approach the 2021 local government elections," Magashule adds.
Speaking to News24, Legoete said the party had already visited municipalities in the North West, including Mafikeng Local Municipality, Moses Kotane Local Municipality, and Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality. Other provinces on the list include Limpopo and Gauteng.
"Where we have a challenge of coalitions, we are going to get facts for ourselves so that we get the truth. After compiling the relevant information, we will report back to the entire NEC," Legoete said.

Johnny Winter RIP
He did finger-picking blues and rock-star riffs. Along with his younger brother Edgar, Johnny formed a band when he was 15 and they made an unforgettable impression as both brothers were born with albinism and they grew their white hair long. On his website, he's described as "the clear link between British blues-rock and American Southern rock." RIP
Welcome to Limerick
Given that we'll be bound for Limerick later this morning, there can be no better way to start the day than with a sprightly slip jig from the Irish piping tradition in the form of O'Farrell's Welcome to Limerick. The tune was published around 1800 in "O'Farrell's Collection of NATIONAL IRISH MUSIC for the UNION PIPES, Comprising a Variety of the Most Favorite Slow & Sprightly TUNES, SET in proper STILE & TASTE with Variations." Here, with variations, it's interpreted by the tasteful Australian guitarist Steve Cooney.Tweet
Street Fighting Man turns 70
"In late 1966, Keith Richards was hearing things. The Rolling Stones guitarist and songwriter had in mind a series of strong, bluesy chords and a melody line based on French police-car sirens. But he couldn't quite reproduce the way he envisioned it sounding—dry and crisp, with a 'garage' feel. Then he purchased an early Philips cassette tape recorder and, using an acoustic guitar, created the basis for what would become 'Street Fighting Man.'"
So begins a splendid article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal last Wednesday in which Keith Richards spoke about the origins of Street Fighting Man. In honour of Keef's 70th birthday today, then, here's a memorable 1976 recording of the classic song in which his direct, incisive Fender Telecaster playing is at its best.
"You're sitting with some guys, and you're playing and you go, 'Ooh, yeah!' That feeling is worth more than anything. There's a certain moment when you realize that you've actually just left the planet for a bit and that nobody can touch you. You're elevated because you're with a bunch of guys that want to do the same thing as you. And when it works, baby, you've got wings. You know you've been somewhere most people will never get; you've been to a special place." Keith Richards, Life
The wrought iron sound of Richard Warren
"Operating at the interface of rhythm and noise as punk-primitive, clearly finding his true self in the blues." That's what The Independent said of Richard Warren. And there's this from WithGuitars.com: "The sound is stripped down to a wrought iron core, revealing an intriguing collision of country soul and primitive apocalyptic blues, Southern Gothic and English Romanticism." Richard Warren's new album, Rich Black Earth, will be released on the coming Monday, 4 November.Tweet
JJ Cale now knows what what it is all about
The tributes have been fulsome and the better ones have captured a little of the man's modesty: "Cale later claimed to have developed his eloquent, droll style on lead guitar from listening to rockabilly records, the single-string blues guitarists Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown and Billy Brown, Chet Atkins, Les Paul and Chuck Berry…Cale once said that he wanted his music to sound as though it had been recorded on the front porch of his home in Tulsa." The Telegraph.
"After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine.
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream.
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion;
We're gonna give an exhibition.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down."
Somebody That I Used To Know
Before turning to the music of the phenomenal young English guitarist, Mike Dawes, we should mention one of his role models, Pierre Bensusan, a French guitarist from a family of Sephardic Jews that migrated from Spain to Morocco to Algeria. Much of the aesthetic that Dawes has incorporated in his playing can be found in Bensusan's interpretation of "The Return From Fingal", a march he learned from the piping of Séamus Ennis. Apart from Bensusan, the other finger-style players who have influenced Mike Dawes are Jon Gomm and Michael Hedges.Tweet

FLORENCE, SC (WMBF) - Florence city council members gave initial approval on a plan to fund the city's new automated water meter reading system.
City leaders said an automated system will make the process easier and water billing more accurate.
Florence City Manager Drew Griffin said crews have already begun installing the automated readers. They'll replace 32,000 meters that are manually read over the next three to four years.
The total cost of the new system and its equipment is around $10 million.
During the city council meeting Monday, members approved the first reading to refinance the city's current water and sewer system debt at a lower interest rate. In return, the plan will save the city millions of dollars to go toward the new system.
"Our savings from our lower interest is about $13 million so we are seeing a fairly significant debt savings to the city over a course of time," Griffin said.
Griffin said they'll also save $11 million in operational costs over nine years.
Over the past year, people who live in West Florence said they've dealt with high water bills they claimed doesn't match their water usage.
Griffin said along with more precise reading, the new system eliminates manually reading and provides real time usage information.
"So if they have a leak, if they have unusual water usage, we can go to the date and time and say here's significant use that you've used," Griffin said. "It is a relatively expensive process, but you know information resolves questions so I think that works for both sides."
City leaders will take a second vote on financing the new automated system at next month's city council meeting.

What makes being an artist great
Hi there,
We are all familiar with the hard parts of being an artist.
But today, since this is a season of gratitude, I thought I would talk about
what I love about artists.
First off, I am so thankful I am one.
However, it is easier to recognize the characteristics I appreciate in my artistic
friends and community.
We are simply different.
And this week's vlog is all about how. Watch the video below to have a look.
Of course there are a myriad of ways,
but a few stand out above all others.
Firstly, I love that artists are such sensitive human beings.
Artists feel the subtleties occurring around them, be it visible or not.
They feel and experience often what is missed or overlooked.
And then they go one step further and make what they feel, visible through their art.
I believe this is a big part of the role artists serve in the world.
Artists are also incredibly observant.
They see and notice more of the world than most.
Seeing what is obvious but also what is smaller and less noticeable too.
A billowy white cloud passing overhead is seen by many but very few notice it's shadow passing
over the landscape too.
And then there is curiosity. This, above all else, is why I cherish being around creatives. They are always asking how or looking closer to discover why.
What would happen if I added this color here?
What is it about this spider web that stops me in my tracks?
Can I take a photo that captures this essence?
Curiosity is derived from wonder.
The same kind that a child feels when seeing a butterfly for the first time.
Artists have somehow held onto that wonder and curiosity longer than most.
I believe if we stay connected to these we will cherish, appreciate and in the end, be more mindful stewards of our all that surrounds us.
Becoming an artist simply has a lovely ripple effect in the world.
I am curious. What do you love about artists?
Let us know in the comments
I hope the beginning of this holiday season finds you with
family and friends.
Enjoy this day.
PS Save the Date! February 14th, Valentines Day 2020!

Want to improve your art? Share it.
Making art can be hard.
But sharing it with others sometimes can be even harder.
I think this is because, for some reason, we feel we
have to be perfect.
But this notion holds us back.
And it certainly can stop us from sharing.
Sharing, however, is the very thing that can help improve our art.
In this week's video, I will share the reasons why.
There are 3 ways that might help you overcome the resistance
to sharing your art.
The first is simply to just remember that you are just learning.
And learning in always rocky and uneven.
That is why it is called learning. If you can embrace this idea and
get comfortable with this fact, then so will everyone else.
Nobody cares, especially if you don't. Your art is simply where it
is right now and that is perfectly ok.
Secondly, if you share your art, often there will be a response.
And sometimes, this feedback can shed a different light on your art.
Of course, always take feedback with a big grain of salt. Although, if
5 people say something similar, it sometimes can open your eyes to
seeing something new in your art. Feedback can help you add
objectivity in the process of your artmaking.
Thirdly, the habit of sharing invites reciprocity.
Putting your art out into the world is, in the end, an act of
generosity. You never know what or how someone will respond to
the gift of your art.
When we give first, often the response will surprise you. By sharing your art
you are offering people a little bit of wonder, surprise or even curiosity.
Wonder, surprise and curiosity are the very same feelings we need
to cultivate in the process of our art making.
How great is it that these very same emotions can result in the
sharing of our art?
Sharing is not just a huge win for others but for you too.
How do you share your art?
Let us know in the comments below.
Have a great Sunday!

Russell Chatham 1939 – 2019
Last Sunday, the extraordinary landscape painter,
Russell Chatham passed. He was a writer, avid fly fisherman, and naturalist.
But above all else, he was a painter.
He grew up in California painting the wild, untamed places of Northern California.
He developed his art in Montana and late in his life returned to West Marin, California.
It was here that I had the good fortune to visit with him.
I saw his magnificent paintings up close.
He taught me what refinement really looks like in art and that color and value can be used so sparingly, but still convey deep, soulful emotion.
Words cannot describe Russell's art, nor the remarkable bumpy and circuitous road that
was his life.
I won't soon forget the wonder of talking with Russell in his studio, surrounded by his art, listening to fishing stories, financial losses and gains,
celebrity collectors and everything that comes with a life dedicated and centered upon creating art.
Today, I thought I might share just a bit of one of those
Fall afternoon conversations I had, sitting with Russell in his studio in Inverness, California.
His art must be seen in person to appreciate, but maybe it is possible to get a
glimpse of this remarkable artist by listening to his words.
I am not quite sure what to say. I feel the loss of course,
but I also feel gratitude. Gratitude to have met Russell and see and feel
his art close up.
It is a privilege to become an artist. To have the good fortune,
the wherewithal to attempt to live in a way that makes you simply pay attention more than most.
Russell Chatham demonstrated what it actually looks like to be fully present in life,
and above all else, to be most fully alive.
He will be sorely missed.
Maybe his passing will galvanize, remind us of the vitality gained and the importance of
perseverance when it comes to the making of our own art.
I know this is the case for me.
Let me know your thoughts below..
Again, thank you for being here.
Hard to start your art back up? Try this.
Yep. This is one of the biggest challenges most artists struggle with…
Starting your art again.
It is so easy to lose the rhythm of making art.
Sometimes it is a big life thing that gets in the way. It can even be a vacation.
What about that friend who comes, visits and stays for just a little too long?
That will do it.
Whatever the reason, it can just throw your practice off.
And then, what's worse is it seems harder and harder to start the longer
you postpone.
I am not sure why this problem grows the longer one doesn't deal with it but in this
week's video I will be sharing with you my 3 tips for getting your art going again.
For those of you short on time or if you are really,
really needing to get back to your art right now,
I will give you the short version of my 3 tips below:
#1 The more you do, the more you do.
Remember this…the more you do (in art for sure) the more you do.
And unfortunately, the less you do the less you tend to do. In other words,
the snowball grows in size as it rolls down the hill.
Things just tend to grow and not in your favor.
This is why it is super important to keep the "habit" of at least going through the motions of
art making…even for 10 minutes.
I suggest breaking the pattern by just doing anything in the studio.
Even cleaning.
This will break the pattern of doing nothing.
It is better to re start that pattern, that habit,
even if it is only minutes a day.
#2 Little and Often.
The science on how we learn teaches us that we actually learn faster and more efficiently if we do shorter but more frequent intervals of an activity.
Surprisingly, it is more likely you will achieve more if you can work 30 minutes,
3x a week than waiting all week till you have 90 minutes on the weekend.
I love knowing this because all I have these days are tiny chunks of time!
It turns out this situation actually works in our favor!
So grab 20 minutes and get going!
#3 Don't Start. Play instead.
When you are returning to your art, if it feels hard, make it easy.
Talk to the kindergartener version of yourself.
Invite them to play!
Notice what colors do and how fun it is to actually just put paint on a surface.
Begin with no agenda except to entertain yourself. Finding the wonder
in our art process is what will seduce you back.
The practice of art making sometimes needs a nudge to get it going again.
Know this happens to all of us.
What are some of the ways you jump start your art?
Let us know in the comments below.
I am in Phoenix today but kind of wishing I was in the studio.
Regardless of whether I am in the studio or not,
I always take time on Sunday to think about what I am making or want to be making.
Reading and commenting back with all of you is part of my art day too.
So thank you.
Have a great studio day if you are able to get there!

Maybe you are not an artist?
Do you ever have the thought that maybe you can't pull off making your art?
Or even worse, that you are not an artist after all?
I know I have.
I hear a lot about this challenge from other artists.
But you know what?
These limiting beliefs don't have to occupy any space in your life.
They serve no purpose.
They certainly don't help you make your art.
In today's video I am going to share the 3 ideas that can help
eliminate the doubts that inevitably creep up on all of us
when pursuing our art.
I share 3 ideas that have helped me stay focused on making my art.
These can help keep the doubts at bay regarding your
creative potential, that naturally come up from time to time.
#1 You are original.
There are 7.7 Billion on Earth this year. You are completely different than all of them. Next year there will be 100 million more. Your originality actually is increasing every year. Your art, if it is truly a reflection of you, will reflect this originality.
#2 All art making is learned. Period
When we learn we generally go from worse to better. Doing things multiple times is how we progress. Never confuse the fact that you are simply learning with your creative capability. They are two different things. Learning, especially at the beginning, always looks messy.
#3 There is no such thing as talent
I have never met anyone that could not make original, strong art. All you need is desire, curiosity and to learn the basic art making information. Talent is not a magical gift given to some and not others. We all have the capacity to be extraordinarily creative. Talent, if there is such a thing, is given out in equal measure to all of us. Including you.
What are some of the limiting thoughts you have had?
How have you overcome them?
Let us know in the comments below. I have a feeling this is something we all have
Hope today is a great day for you.

Is your art and life aligned?
Do you see a lot of different directions when you look at the arc of your art?
Sometimes this can make us feel scattered and unsure about where exactly we want to
put our creative energy.
This was the case for me. Of course I love doing so many different kinds of things, especially in art.
But after awhile, I grew disoriented about where I should put my focus.
I could make a case for almost any of the directions I had tried.
In the end, I figured out some ways to bring an end to this indecision and create coherence,
not just in my art but my life too.
In this weeks video I share some thoughts and solutions on this common challenge artists face.
I share three key ideas.
#1 Create Coherence between your Art and Life.
Your Art becomes stronger the more it reflects you. Write down 2 lists
of what you desire to happen in your life and art.
What ideas can be taken from either one to form a new, more aligned art?
We need to be thinking differently if we want a different result.
#2 Coherence creates Momentum
Coherence between your art and life makes your art practice unstoppable. It is how to make
kick $*# art that also fuels your life. In fact, when your life is connected to your art, they feed
upon each other, galvanizing both.
#3 Discernment is a practice
Your ability to choose what to keep or eliminate in your art and life is a practice.
Your improvement occurs over time.
The evidence of this is seen in the evolution of your art.
What aspects from your life can you add into the art you are making today?
Let us know in the comments below.
I hope your art goes especially good today.
PS Thanks to Art2Life community member Liesbeth Groenewald for
asking this question that prompted today's video.

This can help improve the color in your art.
Do you have too many directions for your art?
Do you feel overwhelmed with too many directions to take your art?
The problem for me is that practically all of them seem like good directions.
And probably, most of them are. But that isn't the problem. The problem, at least from
my experience, comes when we are doing too many at the same time.
Overcoming this challenge is what today's video is all about.
I have learned that my art turns out best when I have a singular focus while making it. Often I
apply this same focus or direction to a series of paintings.
Here are the 3 key ideas I share in the video that could be helpful in reducing this overwhelm.
Download from your brain any and all directions you have for your art into a journal or
digital notebook. The idea is to get these ideas saved but no longer holding so much mental space.
Look over your list of directions … choose one based on the answer to this question:
What is the one direction I can take my art that would make feel most excited? Most engaged?
A little side note here: It is much easier to come up with shiny new ideas than it is to take action
on one of them. I think this is why we all have a gazillion shiny, new ideas that seem to pop up just
when our art making becomes harder!
Your art will strengthen over time by choosing and going deeper with one direction. It might feel more
engaging to have a wider focus with multiple directions but that precludes you from going deeper with any of them. Try going narrow and deep, instead of wide and shallow.
The kind of art that slowly emerges from a more singular, deeper exploration is far rarer. It also, in my opinion,
generates stronger, more authentic art.
And remember, you don't have to have one focus for a lifetime. Just for now. Anytime in the future you get to
change based upon what makes you feel most excited.
What direction have you chosen to focus on in your art? Let us know in the comments below..
Enjoy this Sunday.

How to get rid of your fear of failure…
The fear of failing in art is one of the biggest factors that holds your art back.
If I feel afraid while making art it never works out. My art always ends up looking and feeling, well, fearful.
It's not the kind of art I want nor how I want to feel.
In today's vlog I share a few ways to alleviate this problem.
In this quick talk I go over 3 key points.
#1 You are not your art. Your art is merely the process you are using to discover and share with the world who you are and who you are becoming. Sometimes you will love your art and other times not so much. See each
painting, or whatever creative expression you are currently working on, as just one tiny part of a big ongoing beautiful process. It is about the whole journey not whether the zip on your luggage broke on the third day.
#2 Art is messy. Art is learning. If you are not making half starts, corrections additions and sometimes wondering if you are going the wrong way, you just might not be making art. Art making is by its very nature messy. This is what makes art, art.
#3 You can't lose. If you take a chance, do something daring in your art (even though it is scary) one of two things will happen. You will either learn something or you will dramatically improve what you are making. Both
are fabulous outcomes.
It is so important to work towards feeling utterly free in your expression. This headspace is what makes amazing art. Not just for you but for the world to see.
How do you tame your fear in your art and life?
Let's talk about this. Click here to leave a comment…

Are you in a palette rut?
Do you get tired of using the same colors? I used to feel stuck in the same colors.
I kept repeating myself because it worked.
Now I have learned an approach to making any color work.
In today's video, I will demonstrate a way to discover new color.
In the video, I give a quick refresher about color harmony.
This is at the root of making any color work with any other color.
Next I share an exercise that almost forces you to create new colors.
As long as you like the first one, you will probably like the ones that follow!
Thirdly, don't forget that a super fast way to get color working is to glaze.
Creating the harmony by mixing paint or glazing over paint has the same effect.
Try and do a little of both.
And try that exercise! It works!
In the comments below post your new favorite color combinations!
Enjoy this day.

The best white in the world.
I am not even sure if white is one of the colors. Which is odd because it can look so great amongst them.
That is, if you pay attention to a couple of key ideas.
And that is what I am talking about this week.
And not just talking, but demonstrating.
Join me for a few minutes as we take a closer look at my favorite non color, white.
In this weeks video I am demonstrating 3 ideas.
#1 White will work better in your art if it's just a little bit harmonized with the surrounding colors.
#2 Adding the tiniest amount of pure white in a spot or two of your painting can be a subtle but potent final adjustment.
#3 OK here goes… I am going to share the recipe of my not so famous, custom white color. It is called "Lyla's White" and is named after my eldest daughter, Lyla. I love both so much.
We sell "Lyla's White", along with our other standard, custom colors in the Art2life Store.
But do me a favor and keep this recipe a secret just between us…ok?
Let us know in the comments what you know about white.
Happy art making today…

The Israeli novelist David Grossman's impassioned account of what he observed on the West Bank in early 1987—not only the misery of the Palestinian refugees and their deep-seated hatred of the Israelis but also the cost of occupation for both occupier and occupied—is an intimate and urgent moral report on one of the great tragedies of our time. The Yellow Wind is essential reading for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of Israel today.

About the Author-
David Grossman has received several international awards for his writing, including the Premio Grinzane and the Premio Mondelo for The Zigzag Kid. He is the author of seven novels, several children's books, and a play. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife and children.
March 1, 1988
This stellar, seamlessly translated report records the devastation that two decades of Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip has wreaked on Palestinians and Israelis alike. On assignment for an Israeli newsweekly, the 34-year-old Israeli novelist spent seven weeks in the area, and his is one of the most stirring, refreshing voices of moral conscience to emerge from the depths of this political imbroglio. Supporters of right-of-center Israeli policy will surely take umbrage with these timely interviews, but others will marvel at Grossman's deftly intimate penetration of multilayered issues and personalities. Thus, to his own expressed bafflement, the author discovers that an elderly and wise, tale-spinning Palestinian refugee reminds him of his grandmother and her stories about Poland, from which she was expelled. A description of refugees returning to their Israeli village evokes imagery from the biblical book of Ezekiel; the Arabic apocalyptic tale of the hot and terrible yellow wind, which seeks out those who have performed cruel, unjust deeds, and its accompanying yellow dust, becomes a symbol of the suffocating cloud of occupation that hangs above Israel. Laid bare and damned is the intransigence of both Palestinians who refuse to improve their lot or negotiate for peace and lawbreaking Jewish settlers of Gush Emunim. Evenhandedly, Grossman depicts the criminal treatment by Israelis of Palestinian hunger-strikers, the murder of innocent Jews by Arab terrorists, Israeli and Arab profiteers, an Israeli army, at once brutal and considerate, that puts an Arab town under curfew but stations soldiers to prevent plundering, and the prejudices that exist between Israeli and West Bank Arabs. Grossman's rich and eloquent call to action is aimed at his fellow Israelis who slumber atop a time bomb, unwilling to acknowledge that their moral and political destinies are intertwined with those of the Palestinians. "The situation is a mint casting human coins with opposite legends imprinted on their two sides. But the contradicting legends do not change the fact that between themfreedom fighter or terrorist; ours or theirscan be found the dark, hidden raw material: a murderer.'' First serial to the New Yorker; BOMC, QPBC and Reader's Subscription Book Club alternates.
May 15, 2003
Israeli novelist Grossman offers his observations of fellow Israelis and Palestinians and the ongoing conflict that has spelled disaster for both. This reprint of the 1988 original sports a new afterword updating the story. Still a solid title on the subject.

....or so called experts looked at our draft in a pretty negative way? i have read a lot of opinion over the last couple of days and we've had some bashing up. i cant fathom out why this is - obviously we have recruited well pre draft, and although we may have lost some players we have certainly bought some quality into the team in key areas. The jolley move was a blinder despite the loss of our first round pick - we desperately need a decent TE anyway and I really feel strong that this could be great news. Plus with the new OC coming in and what may be considered in a few years time the best kicker in the league we have just recruited i am extremely optimistic indeed (and coles back!)
so why arent these people looking at the overall picture (our team is strong anyhow i think)
p.s. didn't get to see the draft as in England was on pay per view - sucks!

Founder's Day 2019 weekend taking shape
POCAHONTAS—The 2019 Founder's Day committee has been busy putting together, what many believe to be, one of the greatest Founder's Day celebrations ever to be held in Randolph County.
Event volunteer, Linda Bowlin, and committee member, Allison Schaechtel, were special guests at the April 3 Pocahontas Rotary meeting where they presented an in-depth overview of the activities and events scheduled for this year's celebration, which will be held Friday, May 3, and Saturday, May 4, on the historic downtown square.
"I don't know if many of you have seen what the agenda is so far for Founder's Day, but I honestly and truthfully think that this year's Founder's Day is going to be the best that we have ever had," said Rotary President Erin Mathews upon introducing Bowlin and Schaechtel.
Bowlin said there has been much enthusiasm for this year's celebration and she believes the committee's lined up a really interesting agenda for both days.
"The schedule's a lot different this year from what it's been in the past," noted Bowlin. "So I think there's going to be a lot of interesting stuff… for all ages."

But of course it's always gonna be Suicide, our fingerprints, ya know? You can't ever get rid of that.
But, Eminem... No, I've loved rap for a long time, especially when it got out of its first period and became this gangsta rap, ya know this heavy rap thing? That's when I started to fall in love with it. I loved the lyrics. I loved the beat. ---->>>
Experience really does make you better, man. ---->>>
I always said I was never gonna be an entertainer, Suicide was never supposed to be entertainment. ---->>>
You're gonna laugh when I tell you this, man, but I'm starting to enjoy Eminem. ---->>>
That's why so much of the music today sounds so much alike, because there's no in-between. So it's kind of nice to still turn some buttons every now and then. ---->>>
Usually I'm the one who does the covers. And I just said, man, it would be nice to see what somebody else could do, outside of this thing. A fresher look. And I never, in a million years, would have come up with this. Believe me! ---->>>
That's something - you laugh about Eminem... It's funny, man, because I didn't like him when he first came out, ya know. It seemed like a big joke. But I think the guy's for real, and I like his lyrics! ---->>>
We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be! ---->>>
But it was great, we sit in the same dressing room where, like, Johnny Cash sat and Willie Nelson and all those guys. That was in itself something amazing - I was on the same space these guys stood on, ya know? ---->>>
Every now and then you think about your life, what you would like to be, you start at Number 1 and you go down to 100. And down at the bottom, 100, was - Stage. Go figure. That would be the last thing. It terrified me, man. But I had to do it. ---->>>
I did a couple songs with this hip-hop guy named Tim Dark. He was working in the same studio I've been working in, he heard my music and he said, aw man, I've got to do something with you. ---->>>
That's what my music... I'm working on a solo record right now, it's gonna be more hip-hop than anything, like electronic hip-hop, futuristic hip-hop. I'm probably gonna be rapping on it. ---->>>
People said that way back in the early days I was probably one of the first rappers; the reason is that I couldn't sing, so I had to talk! Lou Reed was probably the one who started it all. ---->>>
That's what so sad about a lot of modern music, in my opinion, so many young bands never stay around long enough to fulfill their ultimate promise. They only get halfway there or a quarter of the way there. ---->>>
I'm showing some of my sculptures in Holland in the spring, so we'll see. ---->>>
It was when I saw Iggy Pop, that's what did it for me. That changed my life pretty much. ---->>>
Lately I've been listening to some classical music again, some jazz. ---->>>
I like performers who I know are for real. You can tell, man, there's an intensity about their stuff. You can tell right away they're real people, ya know? ---->>>
I probably won't be able to hear it until five years from now anyway. That's when I always hear my own music. It takes five years to sit down with it after not hearing it for a couple of years. ---->>>
It's easy for me to say that now, now I'm a father, I've got a four-and-a-half year old boy, I'm a different person. Well, I'm still the same person, but I'm different. ---->>>
John Coltrane - I've been listening to the 'Trane again. It blows you away, because I know more now and I hear more now and I had a life that I've lived! ---->>>
Marty and I are playing with the same intensity. That's the beautiful thing, man, we're actually better now than ever, probably more intense now than ever, tighter now than ever. ---->>>
And I learned a lot from working with this kid, and I think he's gonna be a big star. Remember the name, Tim Dark, because he has something about his voice that's different from all the other rappers, even though his style is similar. ---->>>
We're just getting better at our trade, man. We know what we're doing, and the reason why is that we've spent 30 years doing it. There's nothing that can replace that. ---->>>
Boruch Alan Bermowitz (June 23, 1938 – July 16, 2016), known professionally as Alan Vega, was an American vocalist and visual artist, primarily known for his work with the electronic protopunk duo Suicide.(wikipedia)

Yup, ramen is indeed love. The soup here is thicc af and the noodles are springy to my liking. The best part of all this? FREE FLOW TAU GHEY! You are gonna be full even before the noodles come.
The only downside here is that it is of limited seating due to space constraint. Might need to queue as well during the meal hours. Suggest that you come earlier to avoid the human traffic.

The NATO ENSEC COE welcomed Brigadier General Jurgen-Joachim von Sandrart
The NATO ENSEC COE welcomed Brigadier General Jurgen-Joachim von Sandrart, the Commander of the 1st Tank Division of the German Armed Forces. Together with Leutenant Colonel Bernd Homuth, the Germany's liaison officer to the LTU MOD and NFIU and other colleagues from the German Military Forces, visited to get to know more about the Centre and scope of its activities.
They were received by Colonel Gintaras Bagdonas, the Director of NATO ENSEC COE and the Heads of the Research and Lessons Learned, and Doctrine and Concept Development divisions. Following a brief presentation of the projects and competencies, the guests were keen to discuss physical deliverables of the COE. In particular the Brigadier General was interested in the Hybrid Power Generation System that was created on the behalf of the Centre. The guest expressed interest in loaning the HPGS for testing in the German mobile forces and enquired of other tactical level mobile renewable energy supply solutions that the COE is working on.
After all such devices, that employ renewable or mixed energy solutions while being easily transportable, could facilitate independence from strenuous logistic footprints. Thus they would be essential in creating a high mobility military force.
