MOSCOW — One by one, nine of Russia's most prominent businessmen have been slain, as though modern Moscow were imitating the plot of Agatha Christie's novel "And Then There Were None."
This week, the business community buried 46-year-old banker Ivan K. Kivelidi, who was poisoned together with his secretary in what police believe was a contract killing.
Kivelidi was president of Rosbiznesbank and of the Russian Business Round Table, a prestigious group that represents about 270 new private businesses.
Associates said Kivelidi was neither especially wealthy nor a denizen of the high-risk, criminal-ridden world inhabited by some shady new financiers. But after a fellow bank president was found with his throat slit two weeks ago, Kivelidi had vowed publicly to rally the business community to fight back against organized crime.

MASTERCHEF entrant Jay Tinker showed his French cookery skills to earn a place in the next round.
On last night's programme, Jay and his colleagues had to master French, Italian or Spanish cooking.
Jay, Afsaneh and Emma went to work with Bruno Loubet, at Bistrot Bruno Loubet, in London, where Jay cooked racks of lamb in a lamb jus, served with a French vegetable stack.
This contained courgettes, aubergines, minced lamb, carrots and onions, and tomato puree topped with a specially-made garlic puree. Afsaneh was doing a pigeon breast salad and Emma did chicken dish.
Jay said: "It was a really busy service and the orders kept coming one after another. Bruno said I was a hard worker and asked if I wanted to come to work for him tomorrow."
Back in the studio, Jay made a deconstructed bouillabaisse, a type of French fish stew. He did pan-fried monkfish and pan-fried gurnard on a bed of fennel with saffron potatoes and mussels.
Afsaneh left the show this week. Jay and the other contestants face more daunting tasks next week.

From Staffwiki
Directors discussed the deployment of the developing web site at http://libnext.csu.edu, and decided to deploy by August 1, 2010.
Pages are populated [and are actively being populated] with data from the older current web site, scripts are prepared and tested, and enough fundamental site structure is in place to allow for the public visibility of the site.
During the next few weeks many additions are anticipated as authors contribute updated and corrected material.
Many pages exist for development of a richer and more useful web site.
The publishing product, Adobe Contribute®
Use of this product, though easy after familiarity, benefits from training.
Rochelle Johnson in LIB 428 will be assembling the ingredients and scheduling 2-person sessions so that authors can create a page or pages themselves. Graham will attend.
There are about 12 copies of this product in the library to be made active and available for building pages.
Authoring, Editing, Publishing
The Adobe_Contribute®_product provides authors the ability to create content and local menus in two editable regions:
- content division
- optional local menu division
The Home Page contains repeating regions for scrolling news items. These items are repeated on the news page so that there is but one copy of the text.
Contribute Site Managers develop content for the page or pages needed to present the material. These pages lie within a template. The authors work within these templates in editable_regions.
Color Palette
The colors used in this site are based on the palette at http://library.csu.edu/colorset.html
Editing for Accuracy and Completeness
Contribute Site Managers and authors have the freedom to create, edit, and post material. Unit leaders may establish workflows appropriate to their units.
- Public Services, Dr. Fatemeh Asadi
- Technical Services, Dr. Sharon Hu
- Instruction Services, Prof. Notre Chatman
- eLearning, Dr. Elizabeth Osika
- Center for Teaching and Research Excellence, Dr. Tiffany Davis
- Archives, Dr. Anthony Dunbar
During late summer 2011, workflows in templates were changed to permit direct publishing. Review and edit processes are optional but recommended.
Editing for Organizational Conformity
Site managers control the content.
The site look and feel needs ongoing review for organizational conformity.
Quality Assurance
Editors (Beards, secondarily Graham) may advise site managers to revise and republish newly posted material. The editors are notified of uploaded material when publishing finishes.
The web site is an ongoing instrument which accretes information and precision in a navigationally consistent manner.
Digital Initiatives (Graham) supports the process through provision of templates, assistance with authentication, authorization, service of the site, and more. Further development and expansion, integration, and support of all non-content systems of the web sites is completed in collaboration with the Web Services Subcommittee of the Technical Services Committee.
A scenario that is similar to the de-centralized model we are adopting
In Ivy, USA there is a school, Ivy College, that has a library, Lee Library.
In Lee Library the Rare Book Collection, part of the "Caretaker Division," has a web author, Mary Jones.
The division is directed by Brenda Beaulin, who has an interest that the division maintain it's strong usefulness within the larger library. There are other units, collections, centers, and offices in the division.
When Mary has created and written, modified, or deleted pages about a rare book (for example), she simply publishes them, making them public, visible, and functional.
A notice is automatically fired off to Brenda, Bill the Webmaster, and Sylvia.
Who is Sylvia? She is the person who looks out for the proper styling and branding of library and college material in documents and on web sites. She is concerned that authors, for example, refer to the same thing using the same name. Only such a central figure as Sylvia can easily catch the usage of the web that could be either encouraging or confusing to students.
The material is already published. Sylvia may report back to Mary a concern, or even praise.
Bill the Nerd may see a functional problem (a form that does not work, or a menu that is too wide, an incorrect link), or a miszspelled word, and simply correct the problem. Bill should be nice and let others know, so he tells Mary and Sylvia.
Often Mary and Brenda collaborate, and sometimes several other caretakers join them. They come up with the pages and publish them too.

Like road renovations, I understand that users will be inconvenienced while the work is done. What drives me mad is the slow pace of the work. Once you take an 80-step escalator out of service, you'd better work double-time to get it back into service. Until you do, you have effectively denied metro access to women with strollers, the aged and anyone else with a mobility problem.
Here's the article from the April 9, 2006 issue of The Gazette (page B2).
The executive director of the Montreal Transit Corp.'s metro network explains why repairs to the system's escalator infrastructure are taking so long. Is there light at the end of the metro tunnel?
Phase 1 of the MTC's $1.5-billion renovation program has included the installation of 32 new escalators. The work at some stations has forced transit users to hike up and down long flights of stairs for months. At the Snowdon station, commuters have had to walk down 115 stairs to reach the metro platform for about six months.
GAZETTE: How many escalators are there in the metro network?
DESROSIERS: We have 212, which include two moving sidewalks.
GAZETTE: Phase 1 of the MTC's Reno-Systemes renovation program includes the installation of new escalators in the metro.
DESROSIERS: We did 32 for $22,800,000, conforming to the budget.... Some (escalators) were done before. There are 113 to do up until 2010.
GAZETTE: Why are you replacing all the escalators?
DESROSIERS: Age, essentially. However, it's a bit like cars - there are some that are better than others. Bonaventure (station) has a Canadian Vickers escalator that dates back to 1966 and they're our best escalators. They're at Berri, too.
Perhaps he ought to extend the car analogy to repairs. If the transit authority was in charge of repairing my Toyota, it would take 12 months to fix and they would expect me to walk to work everyday on the Decarie Expressway in the mean time.
GAZETTE: Is the work being done in the forecasted timeline?
DESROSIERS: We stretched it out a bit - not because of a technical problem but a labour shortage. ... An elevator mechanic is quite a rare trade. And we also have a labour shortage in maintenance. ... It's one of the reasons some construction sites are taking longer than anticipated.
This is what drives me mad. Don't remove a working escalator unless you can replace it with great speed. For instance, at Snowdon metro work has been ongoing on two escalators (a long one and a short one) for more than six months. It's probably the same team doing (or not doing) both. They should fix only one at a time if there is a labour shortage.
GAZETTE: How much time does it take to replace one escalator?
DESROSIERS: At an average work site, it's four months. What happened at Snowdon (station) is the escalators are particularly long - there is a supply problem for a part. (The work) took about six months. At Snowdon, I have two that will be put into service: (one) April 14, the other will be put into service April 6. (As of yesterday, an MTC spokesperson said, that escalator was still not up and running.)
GAZETTE: How many people are inconvenienced by non-functioning escalators every day?
DESROSIERS: I don't have those exact numbers.... Clients will start; to see the light at the end of the tunnel. In the coming years, we will have more and more new escalators available that will work better and our problematic escalators will be replaced.
He admits he has no idea how many people are inconvenienced. Not surprising.
He also has no idea how many people are inconvenienced by those who stand on the left side of the escalator. If anyone at the transit authority had any business sense, they would survey their customers to learn how to improve the service. Or they would ride the metro themselves for two weeks to figure out themselves. But, sadly, they don't have any sense.
(I saw a documentary about the head of Burger King (or maybe McDonald's) who worked at one his restaurants for a few weeks. He did every job. He heard from employees what the real problems are and he heard complaints directly from customers. What a great idea for the MTC boss.)
GAZETTE: Can you make accommodations for disabled people or mothers with strollers when an escalator is being repaired?
DESROSIERS: It's very difficult. If I have four escalators parallel to each other, what I will try to do is keep at least one going up and one going down. The problem is that if there are only two, I'm not able to do that.
Has he ever visited the metro? Apart from Berri, I can't think of another station that has four parallel escalators.
GAZETTE: How do you think the new escalators will differ from the ones we have now in terms of performance?
DESROSIERS: With the new control room, as soon as an escalator stops we'll know where and why it has stopped. It will allow us to start it up again a lot more easily. ... For clients, the only difference there will be is when there is no traffic in the station, the escalator will slow down... to save energy.
GAZETTE: Do you anticipate that they will be more reliable?
DESROSIERS: The truth is that at the start they are less reliable. And that's normal.
Well, if it's normal, what the heck. Might as well run them in reverse too.
DESROSIERS: It's technologically advanced equipment and we must adjust it. But its operating reliability, let's say in a year or two, will be excellent. It will be far better than what we have now.
GAZETTE: If the system was built today and you were the architect, would you install elevators and escalators in all stations?
DESROSIERS: People often think of elevators as a piece of equipment that is necessary for / people in wheelchairs. That's true.
What insight.
DESROSIERS: But in my opinion, it would be used even more by the elderly, people with babies and people with knee problems.
Uh, so you admit this is a problem, but you have no solution. Great!
DESROSIERS: ... We are very proud of the metro, except on that point. If it were to be redone today, we would make it a lot more accessible.
So, the population is aging. There will be more and more older people with bad knees and arthritis using the metro in the next 20 years. But there is no plan to figure out what to do about it.

Convictions upheld after bus from Greensboro crashes in Va.
Convictions upheld after bus from Greensboro crashes in Va.
RICHMOND, Va. —
The Virginia Court of Appeals has upheld a bus driver's convictions for a crash that killed four passengers, injured dozens and cast national attention on low-fare carriers operating on the East Coast.
Kin Yiu Cheung dozed off as he was driving a Sky Express bus from Greensboro, N.C., to New York City just before dawn on May 30, 2011.
The bus with 57 passengers aboard veered off Interstate 95 in Caroline County and overturned. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that driver fatigue likely contributed to the crash because Cheung had limited opportunities for quality sleep the previous few days.
Cheung was convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to six years in prison.

Flash Duel: Raid on Deathstrike Dragon
Flash Duel 2nd Edition is now available for pre-order, here. There's also a new game info page here.
Since the very beginning, I planned for Flash Duel to include a "raid" mode where 2, 3, or 4 players teamed up against a 5th player who controls a powerful dragon. While Flash Duel is a pretty simple game overall, it's still a 1v1 competitive game. I wanted to give players a way to team up and have someone on their side, so that it can be an even more social experience if that's what you're looking for.
I always planned this mode to be part of the second expansion. The first expansion was to have 10 new characters and the second expansion was to include the cooperative play of the dragon raid mode. Somewhere along the way, I decided to redo the entire game and include the base and both expansions all in one though, as part of my "too much value" initiative for Flash Duel. Anyway, even though I planned to include this mode since day 1, I thought I'd explain some of the design choices that came up along the way, for your entertainment value.
Who is the Dragon?
Master Menelker is one of the Fantasy Strike expansion characters. He's actually been with us for a very long time, and he even predates Valerie and Geiger in Yomi. In the lore of Fantasy Strike, he is the most powerful combatant in the realm because he has the will to do what others won't. There is no "cheap" to Menelker, there is no taboo. He is the ultimate embodiment of Playing to Win.
Menelker and Midori trained together long ago, and each have the ability to transform into a dragon. Midori into a powerful green dragon, and Menelker into the much more powerful black Deathstrike Dragon. Menelker got this name from rumors of deathmatches (fights to the death) that he's been involved in--and, apparently won. Menelker would not engage the weak in such a challenge, as it would be outside the point of playing to win. That said, Menelker doesn't need to bother using his ultra-powerful dragon form in such matches, as he would win too easily and learn nothing. No one has defeated the humanoid Menelker, and no one man could defeat the dragon. It would take a team of fighters working together to have a chance.
The Dragon Cards
If the Deathstrike Dragon is to live up to his lore, his cards had better be pretty damned awesome. Early on, there was some talk fo the dragon player having a hand of ability cards so he could keep them secret, instead of the usual face-up abilities in Flash Duel. Even from that earliest moment, I knew it wasn't the right direction though. Hidden information like that can improve the strategy, but we have other ways of improving the strategy, too. It's important to have a bit of showmanship and to make the legend of the dragon come alive. The best way to do that is with gigantic, amazing looking cards, and those cards would be too big to reasonably hold in your hand. The dragon cards use the same one-shot flip mechanic as all other Flash Duel abilities (which is a plus for consistency in mechanics), they are just on huge cards.
Here's one of Menelker's human form cards:
And here's one of his HUGE Deathstrike Dragon cards:
Wow! Notice that the dragon doesn't obey the usual rules of card frames. He's busting out of these cards, stepping in front of the title and the ability text at times. He can't be contained inside a mere card. The art direction was incredibly important here too, as the dragon had to live up to his lore but also be "cute." Flash Duel 2nd Edition uses a chibi (kid) art style, so we're seeing the cute kid version of the dragon here, remember. It actually took months and months to get these cards looking as fantastic as they do, and special thanks to artist Genzoman for the character images (and to me for the graphic design besides the characters, ha). Here's another one!
Are these sweet or what? Oh and incidentally, the back of character cards in Flash Duel all have a black border except for the dragons'. ("A mere card border can't contain him!") And the pawn for moving the dragon is enormous compared to the pawns of mere mortals.
I think we got really close to the right gameplay in the very first prototype version. In that version and in the shipped game, the mortals can have 2, 3, or 4 players. Each of them take a turn before the dragon takes his. The fight takes place on the same 18-space track as the regular 1v1 game. The more mortals there are, the more hit points the dragon has and the more abilities he gets to bring into the game. Also, the more numbered cards are used. All players draw from the same deck of numbered cards. The tuning variables of exactly how many hit points and how many abilities and so forth were adjusted, but the concept of all that stuff is still the same as day 1.
Numbered Cards
One tuning variable that took a long time to sort out was how many numbered cards should be in the deck when there's 2, 3, or 4 mortals fighting the dragon. Getting to the answer took a bit of math and bit of just trying it out. The interesting thing about this is that when there are 3 or 4 mortals, you actually reshuffle the deck one time to simulate having more numbered cards. You might think the reason for this is so fewer physical cards can be included in the box, to make it cheaper to manufacture. While that is one reason, there's an actual gameplay reason for it, too. By using 40 or 50 numbered cards and shuffling them once, there are only 8 (for a 4p game) or 10 (for a 5p game) copies of any given number out there. For example, in a 4p game there are only 8 cards that say "2" on them and 8 cards that say "3" rather than 16 of each of those if you just used more cards. It's a bit better for strategy when are fewer copies of each card, because it helps you better guess how many the dragon has at any given moment.
Dragon Abilities
It did take quite a while to get the Dragon's abilities to be tuned correctly. The player chooses a subset of abilities to take into each game, and for a long time there were a couple that were just way too good and chosen 100% of the time. At the same time, there were some that sucked. When the dragon faces more mortals, he can bring more abilities, and as you can see, if the tuning is bad how it was originally, that means the dragon isn't getting enough of a power boost against the additional mortals. So he's too good against a few mortals and too terrible against a bunch. A lot of this problem went away when we were just more careful about balancing those abilities, and specifically including scaling ones that have more effect against more mortals, like this:
New Move: Dashing Block
In order to encourage even more teamwork, we added a new move called "dashing block" in the modes where you have teammates. So if someone attacks your friend with a pair of 4s, you can dash in and both contribute 4s to block. At first the dashing blocker had to block the whole thing himself if he was even going to do the move, but later we relaxed that to allow both the dashing blocker and his friend to contribute cards, and it helped the teamwork for sure.
It wasn't all smooth sailing though. We faced one problem so big that some people said we should just give up on this mode. The problem was that in this "simple, fast card game" it was taking extremely long for the mortals to take their turns. They would do an inordinate amount of planning, then eventually find some amazing unbeatable sequence, then the dragon would quickly take his turn and die. So it was slow and also unfair to the dragon. Sometimes players are too quick to give up on an idea though, and it takes some vision to see that these things are solvable, and the good parts can be rescued.
The solution to both of the above problems was to force the mortals to take their turns in a certain order, and to have them redraw their hands after each of their turns. Originally, all the mortals would simultaneously redraw their hands to save time, but this ends up doing the opposite of saving time. If you have a team of 4 players and all of them know exactly every card in every teammate's hand for the entire set of turns...and if they can take those turns in any order, the possibility space for them to think about is very large. It's a huge but solvable problem. Analysis paralysis ensues, and if you're smart enough, the dragon loses.
But if you must take turns in the same order each time (always player 1, then 2, then 3, then 4), then a lot of the possibility space is reduced. The mortals become weaker (which we needed them to be) but it's also much faster to actually play. You don't have to debate the optimal turn order for 10 minutes, because it's chosen for you. Also, it's much less solvable when the mortals have incomplete information from not knowing ahead of time which exact cards will be drawn over the course of their turns. You might think that uncertainty makes people take longer to decide, but actually it gives them the courage to actually make a move instead of think forever about the provably best move when they have complete, perfect information about all their hands.
These changes greatly sped up the gameplay for mortals and also reduced their power to the appropriate level. It pretty much just worked after that.
Dragon Turns
Oh, and another issue we had early on that was solved very quickly was the problem of how many turns the Dragon should take. At first I thought he might need to take a turn after EACH mortal went, but that turned out too strong. Then we tried that all mortals take their turns, then the dragon takes just one turn, but this was too weak. Not by much though. The dragon just needed a way that he can sometimes take more turns. The problem comes from mechanics, but the answer came from flavor. "Wouldn't it be cool if the dragon took an extra turn each time he defeated a mortal!?" Yes it would, and it works fine, done and done.
Next time I'll cover the *other*, even more difficult Raid on Deathstrike Dragon mode. For now, I'm pleased to announce that pre-orders for Flash Duel 2nd Edition are now ready, and you can get the game online here. It will ship in early December, assuming no shipping delays, which means it should be here before the holidays. (Disclaimer: I can't control unexpected shipping delays, but I can cross my fingers about them.) Also, if you're a retail store owner or a player who'd like to buy this or any other of my games at your favorite local brick-and-mortar retailer, tell them to sign up here and Game Salute will be happy to supply them with everything they need, as well as offer excellent support. And while we're at it, thanks for your support. And special thanks to Lofobal, Sage, Jelyman and the rest of the sirlin.net crew for the excellent playtesting.
The boardgamegeek entry for the game is here.

Pep Guardiola named Leroy Sane the future of Manchester City, alongside Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus - and it's easy to see why.
The German youngster, who signed from Schalke for an initial £37million in the summer, has become a crucial part of the Spaniard's side.
The 21-year-old's pace has been a welcome addition to the first XI, and Sane has netted six times in his last 12 games, becoming a fans' favourite in the process.
And it seems the feeling is mutual at the Etihad, with the talented youngster admitting he is very happy at the club.
Speaking on BBC's Football Focus, the German spoke about what makes playing for City so enjoyable.
"I am happy to have made the move to Manchester City," said Sane.
"It's been great fun working with him [Guardiola] because you can learn a huge amount from him, and I have already learnt a lot.
"Also he is very ambitious and wants to win all the time and wants to improve every player."
In the same interview, the forward also revealed he loves to poke fun at Yaya Toure, who he calls "Uncle" on the training ground.
However, he insisted it was in fact Sterling who came up with the nickname.

Abstract: Some fundamental and formal aspects of the quantum dwell time are reviewed,examples for free motion and scattering off a potential barrier are provided,as well as extensions of the concept. We also examine the connection betweenthe dwell time of a quantum particle in a region of space and flux-fluxcorrelations at the boundaries, as well as operational approaches andapproximations to measure the flux-flux correlation function and thus thesecond moment of the dwell time, which is shown to be characteristicallyquantum, and larger than the corresponding classical moment even for freelymoving particles.

Whether you're heavily panting over the iPhone 5 or you're a Samsung super fan, you can probably appreciate all cell phones after watching these videos.
AdAge went to YouTube to dig up a Radio Shack commercial from 1989. The consumer electronics chain was advertising a "powerful transportable cellular phone system" for $799.
The device required an owner to carry a unit the size of a phone book around with them. But for the time, the technology was cutting edge.
Mobile phones were very expensive back then. Remember, those were 1989 dollars. I found another Radio Shack commercial from 1987 advertising phones for $2,495 (watch it above).
With the iPhone 5 due to debut on Friday, this may not be a bad time to look back and appreciate the contributions made by cell phone pioneers, such as Martin Cooper and his Motorola Dynatac, the granddaddy of mobile phones.
The DynaTac, commonly referred to as the "brick phone" weighed 2.5 pounds, and measured about 11 inches high, 1.5 inches wide, and 4 inches deep. Sure, cell phones can be infuriating, sometimes a complete distraction. But lets face it, they also helped set us free from payphones, missed calls, and fights over who gets to use the family phone next.
Next April will mark the 40th anniversary since Cooper made the first cellular phone call.

|Victory Motel Sessions
If I recall correctly, there was a girl in that circle of friends who interested me greatly.
Isn't that always the way?
Of course, it was in another part of St. Louis and here, if you're 15 miles outside of the city limits, you're basically in a very different world.
What I was told by my friend however, is what gave me pause.
This circle of friends had known each other from kindergarten, but more than that, they had been swapping partners among themselves for as long as they had been dating. How in the world was I supposed to walk into that setup?
|Freddy J IV and Van Campbell (late of the Black Diamond Heavies)
They are certainly among my favorite labels because their artists are always loose and there is a "natural sound" on all the LPs.
So, continuing the tradition of swapping partners, here we have Freddy J IV from Left Lane Cruiser and Van Campbell formerly of the Black Diamond Heavies.
I have several albums from both of these men, but it had never occurred to me that they might record together, but that's just what Victory Motel Sessions is.
J IV is the same guy he's been for years, although he does seem to have added another theme to his lyrics. His guitar work is unmistakable. If I hadn't seen him live, I'd be asking what sort of effects he's using on to get this sound, but I've seen him. He only uses a Boss Tuner pedal.
It's been quite some time since we've heard from Campbell. His last release with the Black Diamond Heavies was 2009's Alive As Fuck. He's a fun drummer with some great flair.
Freddie gets an assist on guitar from Parker Griggs on a few tracks on this album, but don't expect some Radio Moscow wah drenched riffing, because it's not there, but his influence is palpable.
Freddy's guitar work is maturing at an alarming rate, as is his songwriting. This may be his best album yet.
King Mud was recorded in a short time by two (three) guys who know how to work fast and work well. It's a loose rocking, bluesy, thing.
Release: 2/5/16
Genre: Rock

I know I'm not old. 32 is not old. 32 is like four 8-year-olds, or two 16-year-olds. Or even if 32 is like one 32-year-old, it's still not that old, and yet I feel kind of old right now because I'm blogging from a bus hurtling up the New Jersey Turnpike and it's completely blowing my mind. I'M FROM THE FUTURE. Look, I even took a picture of myself. I TOOK A PICTURE OF MYSELF WITH MY COMPUTER AND NOW I'M POSTING IT ON MY BLOG THAT I'M WRITING WHILE SITTING ON A BUS. IN NEW JERSEY.
Sorry about all the caps lock action, I'm just a little freaked out by the advances in technology. I still remember when the newest development in travel communications was the Magnadoodle.
My brother and I used to sit in the back of the car writing messages to other motorists, like "Hi!" or "My brother is a doody!" And now I can just send an email from a moving bus in New Jersey to his cell phone in Texas. It just wobbles my brain.

The Marathi language has a rich tradition of literature and music. One of the richest veins of Marathi music flows in the form of "Natya Sangeet" which quite literally translates to "Drama Music". These are songs that were sung by characters during Theatre plays.
These songs were based on classical or semi-classical Indian music and were sung often without the aid of modern-day aids such as microphones and speakers. As a result, the singers often needed power vocal chords in addition to formal training in Indian classical music.
The tradition of such songs continues to be very popular in the Marathi speaking population around the world. Below are a select few examples that have all been sung by Asha Bhosale, a legend in Indian film music, in honour of her father Master Deenanath Mangeshkar – a stalwart of the Natya Sangeet tradition:
Chandrika Hi Janoo (from Sangeet Manapaman)
Vilopala Madhumilanat Ya (from Bramhakumari)
Yuvati Mana Darun (from Sangeet Manapaman)
This list is endless. In the recent days, the Natya Sangeet tradition appears to have been given a fresh breath of life by a new generation of artists.
I sincerely hope future generations are able to enjoy these gems as much as I have!

By Adeboye Amosu:
Sunshine Stars winger, Prince Aggreh, says the club face a difficult task in their bid to win a first Glo Premier League title, but admits they have the quality to beat their rivals to the crown.
The Owena Waves have plunged from top position on the log to fourth in recent weeks.
To win the title, the Akure-based outfit must overhaul the three sides (Enyimba, Warri Wolves and Wikki Tourists) who are ahead of them on the log.
Kennedy Boboye's charges also face difficult trips to Warri and Kano where they will confront Warri Wolves and Kano Pillars.
Aggreh told completeportsnigeria.com that they are ready for the task ahead following a morale-boosting away win against Kwara United, their second of the campaign last Sunday.
"We have endured a few negative results in the last couple of weeks, but I still believe we can turn things around," the Nigeria international told completesportsnigeria.com.
"We know it is going to be difficult to win the title, but with the quality of players we have in the squad, nothing is impossible.
"Last weekend's away win against Kwara United is a sign that we are ready to challenge for the title."
Sunshine will host Abia Warriors at the Akure Township Stadium, Akure in a week 31 fixture.
