Many famous people died in 2018. Among them were: Roger Bannister, Anthony Bourdain, Barbara Bush, George H. W. Bush, Roy Clark, Vic Damone, Aretha Franklin, Billy Graham, Stephen Hawking, Stan Lee, John McCain, Burt Reynolds, Philip Roth, Neil Simon, Tom Wolfe.
However, other individuals who passed away in 2018, less well-known, made significant contributions during their lives. Their actions made the lives of others easier or more pleasant in a variety of ways. This article will give you an opportunity to appreciate their efforts and give them a final "thank you." This article is not intended to make you sad, but to remind you there are such people. If I missed someone who you think deserves mention, I'm sorry. I'm writing a blog, not an all inclusive book. Let me and other folks know who you would include in this remembrance. Bringing attention to people who made life better for others is worth the time and effort. (Thanks to the New York Times for its coverage of these individuals.)
Perry Miller Adato, 97. = Ms. Adato was an award winning documentary maker. Her first film featured Dylan Thomas (and won an Emmy) using techniques that are commonplace today (eg, on screen and off screen voices, photographs). She won 4 Directors Guild of America awards for her work featuring Georgia O'Keeffe, Gertrude Stein, Picasso, and others. She believed: "If you want to change people's minds and their attitudes, if you want to teach them anything, you can't lecture to them. You have to entertain them." One college student saw her work and said: "I had this 'aha' moment where I said: Don't show the actors, just use the chorus of voices under the photos." The college was Hampshire College; the student was Ken Burns.
Alfred Alberts, 87 = Mr. Alberts was "a largely unknown hero behind the first cholesterol-lowering statin approved in the United States." He lacked the usual credentials (an M.D. or Ph.D.) but worked as a technician for (among others) Dr. P. Roy Vagelos, a biochemist who became chairman of Merck, the giant pharmaceutical company. Regarding the statin (lovastatin), Dr. Vagelos said: "That was Al's discovery."
Charles Aznavour, 94 (see above and below)= If you have not heard him sing, you cannot appreciate his skill and his music. I can tell you he wrote 1,300 songs, sang in 8 languages, has sold more than 180 million records, and appeared in 60 films. He lived in NYC for a year and has toured the United States frequently. But if you haven't heard him….
His favorite singers were Mel Torme and Fred Astaire. President Macron described him saying: "Profoundly French, viscerally attached to his Armenian roots, famous in the entire world, Charles Aznavour accompanied the joys and sorrows of 3 generations. His masterpieces, his unique influence will long survive him." I suggest you find and listen to him sing, "Yesterday When I Was Young", then you'll understand him, his music, and the effect on all who hear his voice.
Earl E. Bakken, 94 = He started tinkering as a youth. As an adult, he invented the first wearable, battery-powered pacemaker. Later, his company developed coronary stents, insulin pumps, and surgical equipment and did not stop until he had created the world's largest medical device company. Later in life, he benefitted fro his own invention, having had 2 pacemakers implanted in himself.
John Perry Barlow, 70= He was raised on his family's 22,000-acre cattle ranch in Wyoming and attended a one-room elementary school. As a college student, he took LSD with Dr. Timothy Leary. The result: he wrote 30 Grateful Dead songs and led the desire for an unfettered internet. Perhaps thanks to the environment in which he grew up, he said: "There are a lot of similarities between cyberspace and open space. There is a lot of room to define yourself."
Steven Bochco, 74 (see above) = He created "Hill Street Blues, L. A. Law, NYPD Blue, Doogie Howser, M. D., and Murder One." Critic David Bianculli has said "all TV police dramas could be divided between those that came before and after "Hill Street Blues." Bochco's cop shows added stories about their personal life, not just cops and robbers. Bianculli also said without "Blues'" Andy Sipowicz, we might not have had Breaking Bad's Walter White and The Soprano's Tony Soprano. Just a thought.
Luigi Cavalli-Sforza, 96 = In recent years, millions of people have sent samples of their saliva to DNA-testing companies to determine where their relatives have been. They can thank Mr. Cavalli-Sforza for showing them their ancestors. He began to develop such techniques by, 60 years ago, studying blood types and 300 years of church records of the heredity of his village neighbors in Italy. He founded a field of study he called genetic geography. "He synthesized information from diverse disciplines –genetics, archaeology, linguistics, anthropology, and statistics—to explain how human populations fanned out over the Earth from their original home in Africa. He denounced efforts to suggest that superficial traits like skin color or hair texture had any underlying connection to intelligence, behavior, or character."
Raymond Chow, 91 = Mr. Chow began in the Hong Cong film industry as a publicist. Quickly, he became frustrated with the poor quality of films. In 1970, he left to begin his own studio. He signed a young actor and martial arts expert named Bruce Lee. His first film, "The Big Boss", broke the Chinese box office record of "The Sound of Music." "Fist of Fury" and "The Way of the Dragon" followed with more success. After Lee died (1973), Jackie Chan and more success followed. Chow's financial success continued with "The Cannonball Run" (Burt Reynolds) and, later, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Critics disagreed, but Mr. Chow said: "My philosophy is to entertain people, to make people happy." He did.
David Douglas Duncan, 102 = "I think I did bring a sense of dignity to the battlefield." Because of his work taking pictures of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, Duncan is considered one of the greatest combat photographers. He, also, spent 7 years photographing Picasso. (see above) Over 20 books of his work were published. His book about war in Korea was called by Edward Steichen "the greatest book of war photographs ever published."
Mary Ellis, 101 = "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." –Churchill. Mary Ellis was one of the "few." She was a member of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA). She ferried 400 Spitfires and 76 other kinds of aircraft to airfields during WWII. She was among the first women in Britain to get equal pay. She took her first flying lesson as a teenager. In the war, "girls flying airplanes was almost a sin." When flying during the war, "while my heart was completely fulfilled, my mind was busy in the cockpit of the fastest, most beautiful fighter aircraft in the world, as I was responsible for its safe journey to the R.A.F. pilots who needed it."
Dr. Ronald Fieve, 87 = In 1970, "Many doctors held to the Freudian psychoanalytic explanation of mood disorders, but there was evidence that a medical model could replace it." Dr. Fieve and other doctors "persuaded the Food and Drug administration to approve the prescription of lithium salts for mood disorders (eg, bipolar personality)." Dr. Fieve promoted the use of lithium on radio and television. "Manic-depressive psychosis" was redefined to "bipolar affective disorder" and lithium was successfully used to treat the illness.
Naomi Parker Fraley, 96 = For many years, various women have claimed to be the model for Rosie the Riveter (see above), the woman factory worker during WWII. Mrs. Fraley was one such woman. She said "I don't want fame or fortune. But I want my own identity." Following 6 years of research by Dr. James J. Kimble, it was determined, in 2016, that Mrs. Fraley's claim to fame was accurate.
Sydney Goldstein, 73 = I'm from Philadelphia and Terry Gross broadcasts her program, NPR's "Fresh Air," from there. Recently, she thanked Ms. Goldstein for "changing my life…and all she contributed to the world of arts and culture." In 1980, Ms. Goldstein founded "City Arts and Lectures" in San Francisco. Her effort combined an interviewer and a "guest" (eg, Stephen Sondheim, Bruce Springsteen, Nora Ephron, Maurice Sendak, Pauline Kael) for an interview in a theatrical setting. The programs were part of a series which brought live audiences to watch the programs. Costs were kept low so more people could attend. All participants (ie, journalists who did the interviewing, guests who answered questions, and audiences who observed) were gathered by Ms. Goldstein, benefited.
Dr. Peter Grunberg, 78 = In 2007, Dr. Grunberg shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Dr. Albert Fert. Working separately, they discovered an effect called "giant magnetoresistance." Their discovery allowed computers and other devices (eg, Mp#s and iPods) to significantly increase the amount of data they could store. The co-winners compared the data from their work and found out their conclusions were alike. Reportedly, they got along quite well. "After we had compared our results, we were ready for a glass of red wine from Burgundy."
Anna Mae Hays, 97 = Ms. Hays, after serving in 3 wars (ie, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam), became the United States first female General. She had been named chief of the Army Nurse Corps in 1967. During her military career, she recommended that married officers who became pregnant should not face compulsory discharge, and appointments to the Army Nurse Corps reserve not depend on the age of the applicant's children.
Ricky Jay, 72 (see above) = He was an actor (eg, on TV: "Deadwood"; in film, "Boogie Nights"), writer, magician, and sleight of hand artist. IMO, he was, to sleight of hand magic, what Babe Ruth was to baseball or what Tracy and Hepburn were to acting. He was a story teller and teacher who could make you laugh, possibly learn (eg, don't play cards with him), and always be amazed. He first did magic for entertainment at age 4. Saying more is wasting your time. But seeing his talent would lead to believing. So, do what I did: Google "Ricky Jay", find his performance entitled: "Ricky Jay and his 52 Assistants", and watch him amaze and amuse and educate you for the better part of an hour. You'll be a better and happier person for having spent time with him –even if only on film.

Andrew Chung hasn't had the easiest job in venture capital. For the past ten years, the investor has maintained his focus mostly on cleantech startups when the majority of his VC peers have long since abandoned that market for companies that don't burn through so much cash. He began first at Lightspeed Venture Partners and most recently at Khosla Ventures.
Now he's moving on from Khosla and starting his own venture firm, 1955 Capital -- named for the year when influential technology figures like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt and Vinod Khosla were born. Starting out with a $200 million fund, Chung will invest in energy, food, agriculture, health and education. But more importantly, Chung hopes to help Western entrepreneurs bring their technology to China.
While at Khosla, Chung spent a lot of his time helping the companies he invested in get traction in China. For example, he helped biofuel startup LanzaTech land key pilot projects with giant Chinese steel manufacturers. Now with his own fund, he will have more flexibility to pursue that strategy.
"I was in China 13 times last year," Chung, who speaks Mandarin and Cantonese, said. "In some cases, flying in for six hours to negotiate deals with companies, or driving down dirt roads to villages to negotiate partnerships. I've really doubled down on this type of strategy."
Chung, 38, will focus on investing in companies who are a couple of years away from commercializing their technology in places likes China or India for Series B and C rounds. Previously at Khosla, Chung tended to focuses on earlier stage companies than that.
Chung left Khosla Ventures in the fall of 2015 to start 1955 Capital. Of his investment from there, Chung will stay on the board of three of his Khosla portfolio companies: LanzaTech, EcoMotors and BioConsortia.
It's an interesting time to be raising a new fund in venture capital. Right now, there's lots of uncertainty as investors see weakness in the public markets and the so-called unicorn startups are starting to look shaky. "2016 is going to get worse," Chung said. "It's not a great time to be raising right now. Undifferentiated startups are going to have a really difficult year. I feel lucky I was able to raise this amount of capital at this speed. I think it's just an indicator that there's a need for something like this."
Chung wouldn't say who were his backers with the $200 million, but said they were a mix of Chinese and American investors.
You can read Andrew Chung's thoughts on his new firm in a blog post here.

What is the new procedure?
Previously, people applying to come to the UK had their passports endorsed with details of their right to remain in the UK. The visa stamp contained details of the length of their visa and an employer had to take a copy of this when the person started employment.
Under the new procedure, the visa stamp will no longer contain details of the length of the individual's visa. Instead, it will only grant them a right of entry to the UK for 30 days. Once they use this visa to enter the UK they will have 10 working days to collect a Biometric Residence Card from a designated collection point, which will usually be a post office near their home or work address.
The new procedure only applies to staff applying from outside the UK and it does not apply to people who will be staying in the UK for less than 6 months, for example business visitors.
Why is this change happening?
Under EU law, the UK must issue everyone who is granted a right to remain for more than 6 months with standard documents. People who apply for visas from inside the UK are already issued with biometric cards so this change will ensure consistency between entry clearance and leave to remain procedures.
What are the consequences of non compliance?
If someone does not collect their Biometric Card within 10 working days the Home Office can cancel the card and force them to apply for another. If the person repeatedly fails to collect the Biometric Card the Home Office can cancel their visa and their right to work in the UK.
What should employers do?
All employers who hire staff from abroad will require to amend their procedures for checking if the new employee has the right to work.
While employees who hold an entry permit will be allowed to start work, the employer will need to carry out a second check to ensure that the Biometric Card has been collected, and they should retain a copy of the card.
If an employer does not carry out the second check they will not have a statutory excuse if the employee is found to be working illegally and could be subject to sanctions from the Home Office.
Morton Fraser offers an Immigration Compliance Audit Service and can assist you with your procedures regarding compliance. For further information on the new procedure, checking the right to work and visa applications please contact Stuart McWilliams or Averil Trimble.

The sky's so perfectly clear
As over the world we fly.
We can see both far and near
While creatures of the sky.
We can look down on rivers and streams
Carving through the land;
Watching the water flow along
Until stopped by a man-made dam.
We can see the roads and the houses,
The farmlands and the towns,
The lights of the city, sparkling like jewels
Along the contours of the ground.
Then approaching the runway,
stepping foot again on the land,
We leave the world of the gods
And return to the world of man.
I wrote this poem years ago, combining my love of flying and poetry.
The above poem was dedicated to my father, Joseph Farinholt, who flew small airplanes (I even remember a cloth-covered one) from Westminster airport and took me up. Years later he and my Uncle Oliver Farinholt cleared property for a runway and started Clearview Airport.
When my uncle died, my aunt Martha wanted to keep the airport running and even had a small restaurant in the terminal Building. I went over some weekends to help flip burgers. If some of these men can learn to fly an airplane, so can I.
You might ask, except for the inspiration for a poem, what does this have to do with writing. Just be patient, there is more and I will keep it brief.
My lessons began in a Cessna 150 with instructor Billy Joe Mathis. After receiving my license, I also flew a Cessna 172 and a Cherokee 140, taking several of my friends for their first airplane ride. Exciting and frightening, this was just a challenge to me. I hadn't thought of aviation as a career, but to prove to myself that I could do it. My aunt also took lessons and received her license. Maryland Cup Corporation, where we worked, ran my picture and a short article in the company newsletter about the flying Farinholts.
Because of my experience flying and hanging around airports, I was able to land a freelance job writing for an aviation magazine, Pilot's Preflight, unfortunately now out of print. (I still have my old copies). I wrote some features (such as Bill Kennedy and Fly-in Ski resorts), plus a monthly regional column, Baltimore North, writing what I knew and learning more.
It was a wonderful time, flying to different airports, meeting all types of pilots and getting free rides in a wide variety of aircraft. Plus I was getting paid for it and now I have plenty of material for my memoirs. Although I don't fly by myself anymore, whenever I hear an airplane my eyes go heavenward. I still have my log book and other mementoes of that exciting time.
I found the following quote and poem on www.skygod.com/quotes/poetry, that express some of how I felt as I traveled through the heavens.
Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away. — Carl Sandburg, 'Poetry Considered.'
Impressions of a Pilot
To dance with the clouds which follow a storm;
To roll and glide, to wheel and spin,
To feel the joy that swells within;
To leave the earth with its troubles and fly,
And know the warmth of a clear spring sky;
Then back to earth at the end of a day,
Released from the tensions which melted away.
Should my end come while I am in flight,
Whether brightest day or darkest night;
Spare me your pity and shrug off the pain,
Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again;
For each of us is created to die,
And within me I know,
I was born to fly.
— Gary Claud Stokor

Stamp duty is a tax that a state government levies when a property's ownership rights change hands. These charges vary from state to state and help legalise your ownership. The type of property and its price also determine how much you need to pay as stamp duty. You may also take advantage of stamp duty exemption under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
How Tax Exemption can be Claimed
The Government of India lets you claim tax benefits under Section 80C. Under this section, you may claim exemption on the amount that you are paying as stamp duty and registration charges. The stamp duty charges related to the purchase are allowed to be claimed as a tax deduction. But, there are a few parameters you need to consider while applying for the tax deduction on stamp duty.
● You can claim up to a maximum limit of Rs.1.5 lakh as tax exemption.
● You can claim this deduction in the same financial year as the payment. For example, say, you have paid stamp duty on 1 July 2018. Then you have to claim the tax deduction in the financial year (FY) 2018–19.
● If you have bought the property jointly, all the co-owners may claim this expense for their respective income tax returns. This of course depends on their share in the property. But the maximum limit rule applies here too.
Stamp Duty and Registration Charges
From the beginning to the end of the process of buying a property, you end up paying a significant amount in the form of different charges. Applying for a home loan is an easy and popular way to arrange for the money you need. A home loan is like a key to bring you closer to your dream home. You have to pay stamp duty and registration fees before you take possession of the home. This falls under the provisions of Section 3 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899.
Stamp duty earns revenue for local governments besides providing legitimacy to a document.As a rule, the stamp duty and registration charges cannot be sanctioned by the lender along with the home loan. Check out this stamp duty calculator to get an idea of the home loan stamp duty and registration charges you have to arrange. Though home loan is a large monetary commitment, it gives you certain tax benefits. Think about getting a loan with a lower interest rate. Combine the tax benefit options on principal repayment, interest repayment, and stamp duty exemption to maximise your savings.
There are many lenders offering home loans today. So, compare the different products and choose what works best for you. To save time and hassle, you could also look at pre-approved offers.
Generally, 5–7% of the property's market value is considered as the stamp duty fee. And the registration charges are usually 1% of your property's assessed value. Several parameters contribute to the calculation of stamp duty and registration fee that you need to pay. Here are a few of them.
● The property's market value
● The property type and number of floors
● The property's location
● Whether the property will be used for residential or commercial purpose
While purchasing a property, you make a large financial commitment. Part of the expenses towards your purchase are the stamp duty and registration charges. As the government lets you take the advantage of tax benefit on the stamp duty, you can save some money by claiming the tax exemption. To save time and hassle, utilise the stamp duty calculator. It would also help to get a detailed idea of how much stamp duty you need to pay along with the tax exemption you are eligible to claim. Then you can plan your finances in a better way.

The crown jewel of the Petersburg, Alaska, area is Devils Thumb. With a history filled with tragedy and failed expeditions, the mountain inspires reverence. The classic lines (both climbing and skiing) are among the most atheistic in the world.
RELATED: Eight days until the world premiere of Tight Loose. Watch the trailer, and get tickets here.
Former US Ski Team member Daron Rahlves scoped out a seemingly "fall-you-die" kind of line on the shoulder of the mountain. Immediately after dropping in, his technical skill was clear — he skied aggressively with confidence. He would have nailed the line but he ended up clipping an unseen rock under the snow and tomahawked down the craggy face.
He survived one of the gnarliest crashes Steve Jones has ever seen, and was up skiing on the next run, attesting his sheer athleticism and aptitude, mentally and physically.
About TGR's Top 21 Moments:
This year, TGR turns 21 years old. To celebrate, we're resurfacing TGR founders, Todd and Steve Jones', favorite moments from filming over the last 21 years—the moments that made TGR what it is today. One video a day until the world premiere of our new film "Tight Loose" on September 17 in Jackson, Wyoming.

Biological complexity in the vineyard: a world of relationships to try to understand.
|Trees and hedges in between vineyards
A few days ago, while walking in the Barla vineyard, I watched the wild flowers that for at least twenty years have grown in different spaces with a precise positioning that allows them to share in the environment's micro variability that eludes me. So, accompanied by the enveloping scent of violets, I found myself by chance remembering memories of my youth when, just a researcher at Sant'Angelo Lodigiano, I was quickly introduced to the world of research at the Roshamsted Experimental Station (UK), the oldest active research station in the world. Here, they were researching, among other things, grassland systems that had been stable for over a century… along with a soil science for sustainable agriculture that could be traced back to the year 1620.
|Wild flora in the vineyard
It was only after a few years that I began to better understand this world and the fact that biological complexity is the norm, while agriculture moves away from this, making instead the planting of a few species the norm, thus rendering the system more fragile and delivering artifice and inadequate 'agronomic' interventions for a comprehensive economic benefit (environment and land considered). But if I look at what the 'school' of agronomy has taught for the past fifty years, I conclude that almost all crops and livestock breeding methods have followed this logic of 'simplification': fields that are increasingly filled with monocultures including orchards and vineyards with high varietal selections. I am not versed in the world of animal husbandry, which follows the same logic with paradoxical situations… but I want to at least mention Michael Pollan, who with The Omnivore's Dilemma starts a chapter with a thousand ways of looking at a pasture'. To quote him: "the cow opens her lips moist and fleshy, his rough tongue is rolled around the clump of clover… then will devote his attention to the fescues… the grass is at the base of the food chain but beneath it is the soil that houses a community of unprecedented wealth…".
|The butterfly as an indicator of a healthy environment
Plants (that can't be moved!) continuously activate coping mechanisms, i.e. produce defences (= metabolites) to counteract environmental stresses and those produced by man. Many of these metabolites are favourable for those who nurture them… all herbs and fruits have beneficial properties and are the true pharmacopoeia for animals and us. The most important metabolites produced by the grapes are those found in the skin (which protect the seeds and thus the vine's reproduction). We're talking about polyphenols in general, stilbene, resveratrol… all substances that protect the grapes from some diseases and are beneficial to our health.
These mechanisms can foster a cultivation that's more attentive to the complexity established in a vineyard. Taking good care of the land reinforces nutritional symbiosis like mycorrhizaA mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association composed of a fungus and roots of a vascular plant. In a mycorrhizal association, the fungus colonizes the host plant's roots, either intracellularly as in arbuscular mycorrhizal and better fights diseases, resulting in more natural harmonies within the physiology of the plants, producing grapes and wines with more complexity, harmony, taste and health benefits.
The world of wine, almost by necessity, is partly exempt from the insane objective of mass production because it's managed to profit from other factors such as the beauty of the place to defeat the impoverishment of taste, to create emotions and intangible values and restore the goodness of places and products offered in conjunction with the best use of soil resource: a true 'celebration of life'.
|Intercropping between vine and grasses
This value is the true origin of wine in its strongest expression, which must be understood and pursued with commitment and knowledge.
It would therefore be expected that Italian vineyards, the gardens of rare complexity, could find new production energy for a more solid, lasting and forward-looking economy.

I'm always on the hunt for vintage artwork. Aside from vintage portraits (see older posts), I love finding floral still life paintings. There's just something about them and the way they look mixed in with my collections, especially with pottery!

I enjoyed looking through your art. If you like vintage and antique art, then you'll enjoy what I have. It is ALL for sale. 97% original oils, on either canvas, canvas board or board. These pieces of art date from around the early 1900's up until 1980, nothing later than this. firstname.lastname@example.com

Cultural programme initiatives connected to the 2019 Winter Universiade have been continuing throughout the Krasnoyarsk region.
The programmes aimed at promoting sport and healthy lifestyle among students in line with the 2019 Games have received the support of the Directorate of Student Games in Krasnoyarsk.
One of the projects chosen following a recent competition is "I ♥ WINTER", a festival of winter and extreme sports developed at the Siberian State University of Physical Culture and Sports.
The organisers of the project recently held events such as the "2018 Sledge Parade" where, alongside family sledging competitions, a detailed presentation on the 2019 Universiade was given.
Potential volunteers were also told how they can get involved in the Winter Universiade.
Another event "Visit Laika" invited guests to play and take pictures with a variety of dogs in honour of Krasnoyarsk 2019 mascot Laika.
Additionally, the Russian Curling Federation has been conducting master classes and competitions throughout the Krasnoyarsk region through their "All on ice 2019" project with a tournament dedicated to the 2019 Winter Universiade taking place in Divnogorsk .
Despite temperatures of minus 30 degrees Celsius, 22 curling teams took part in the event.
The 2019 Winter Universiade is due to take place from March 2 to 12.

One man's undying devotion to a music genre that swings along with all kinds of moods inspires people from different backgrounds to attend his affordable classes. Ngoc Lien and An Vu tune in.
Tung, sitting firmly on a rudimentary chair under a 150-year-old tree, was singing Bai Ta and Ngu Diem songs ardently, with his hands grazing skilfully on the zither's fret. Surrounding him were his cousin, Nguyen Thi Hang, 50, playing monochord and flute, and his nephew, Nguyen Minh Quan, 21, playing lute with six strings. The sounds of the instruments mingled with each other, and I could feel the excitement in each note.
In his class, the oldest student is seventy and the youngest is six. They enrolled in with different purposes: some learn by passion, some seek for fame, but all are moved not only by his devotion, but also by the affordable fee.
"The sound of the music is sometimes loveable like a young girl's soothing voice. It will be fierce at times and desperately sad at other times. It will be happy when you are happy, and become wicked when it is angry," says Tung to his students.
Attracted to the guitars since he was eight, Tung has played for many cai luong (reform theatre) troupes and weddings. Yet, he never intended to make money by amateur singing, but became a barber when he was young.
"Some told me that if I had chosen to be a performing artist, I would have had fame and money. And it is true for me, as I only know, and passionately fond of two things: playing amateur singing and teaching," says Tung.
When composing a song, Tung usually takes priority in writing about his home country, Hoc Mon. He even writes songs in praise of the rice seed, and water morning glory, the thing that is close to the farmers' lives. As he said, amateur singing is how you play with your heart and soul, and is only available to be heard in quiet places. "Only in the countryside the music is peaceful and idyllic. For me, it is pure love," says Tung.
Nguyen Minh Quan, one of Tung's youngest students, says that Tung's skills amazed him so much that several times he wished to let down his guitar to show his admiration for his master.
"I have been learning to play the hollow-fret guitar from uncle Tung for two years. While other young people are pursuing modern music, I am bewitched by amateur music. At first, I tried to play as I live next door and have heard him playing each day. Then I was drawn to it magically. Now, I have made up my mind to learn to play devotedly and wholeheartedly, says Quan.
Nguyen Thi Hang, another student of Tung, is extremely touched when she talks about the music master.
"My teacher is a talented musician. He can play various kinds of instruments, and most of the works he plays are beautiful and draws me in intensively. Whenever I see him play anything, I want to learn that immediately. I never wish to learn from anyone else but him," says Hang.
To Tung, his students are a dynamic world in his mind. He follows them and knows each's strengths and weakness, so he can raise the flame of amateur singing in them.
"Playing amateur music means you learn the lyrics by heart. It is different from other kinds of music, where you can view the lyrics of the songs. Therefore, it is much more difficult as you will have to mull over the lyrics after learning it by heart. The part of the song you put your heart in is the part that will vibrate through your fingers. Because each student's heart is different, the way they play is different as well," Tung told Viet Nam News.
Folk artisan Le Khac Tung was born in 1945 in Hoc Mon District, one of the cradles of Southern Viet Nam's don ca tai tu (amateur music) art. At the age of eight, he was able to attend the classes of great teachers in the region. Two years later, he mastered other musical instruments, including 16-chord zither, monochord, guitar and violin. He has contributed to the construction of forty local amateur music clubs and groups and has completed the composition for 200 amateur pieces of music.
From 1982-2008, he was appointed vice director of Hoc Mon District Culture Centre and former leader of HCM City amateur singing club. In 2008, he opened an amateur singing class, which played all the musical instruments at Tan Hiep hamlet.
To raise the flame successfully in his students, the master has devoted himself wholeheartedly to each song that he has played. What makes him proud the most is the tranquil yard where his students come and play music every day, and no noise of life out there can bother them.
Trinh Van Duoc, a handicapped tailor, has been attending Tung's class for more than ten years. Considering the class as the loving second home, he has not missed one day sitting with his fellow students.
"I have no other purpose but a real passion for this class. I also have my livelihood, so I do not see amateur music a job to live on. Teacher told me I have mastered seventy per cent of the skill, but I still have a lot to discover on the artistic way," says Duoc.
For Tung, to be able to see his students attending class more and more each day is a simple happiness. "To preserve the Southern amateur folk music, artists must put the heart for students on top. I think the scale of each class must also be expanded, and we need to have a basic method for beginners, so that we can pass our love for this traditional music to our younger generation," he adds. — VNS

Indian government surprisingly rejects bill declaring Pakistan a state sponsor of terrorism
A bill presented by right-wing politician in the parliament asking to declare Pakistan a 'terror state' has been rejected by Indian government as reported by The Hindu.
According to The Hindu, the Indian home minister has told the upper house of parliament that declaring Pakistan a 'terror state' could have both 'diplomatic and far-reaching consequences'.
Indian MP Rajeev Chanrasekhar had presented the bill titled as 'The Declaration of Countries as Sponsor of Terrorism Bill, 2016' in Indian parliament which became a hot topic in February because it asked for legal, economic and travel sanctions against citizens of countries which are promoting terrorism.
"To declare a country as a terrorist state can have diplomatic as well as other far-reaching consequences. Before doing so a detailed study is required. Therefore, I request Chandrasekhar to withdraw the bill," said the Minister of State for Home Hansraj Gangaram Ahir while addressing the upper house.
The Indian minister was of the opinion that the Indian state was already doing enough to deal with the citizens of countries supporting terror.
"The government has taken many steps to deal with terror. The existing laws already have sufficient provisions for dealing with citizens of a terrorist country," he added while urging the BJP leader to retract the bill.
Although the right-winger withdrew the bill, he managed to garner support within the Indian corridors of power.
Elected member and a veteran Indian lawyer KTS Tulsi said, "I am not opposed to the Bill but I have my doubts. We need to examine the practical utility of declaring Pakistan a terror state."

Social Impact
We're a public benefit corporation, which means that we have our social mission written into our charter.
Our public benefit is to promote the reduction of inequality and exploitation in food systems by connecting farmers to high-value markets, helping them access a larger share of the product value chain, and establishing long-term, mutually-beneficial trade relationships.
We measure social impact both at origin in our sourcing practices and at home in our support for organizations doing great work related to food, culture, identity, and community.
To date, we've paid our partner farmers more than $300,000 at rates significantly higher than commodity prices.
In January 2019, we looked back on our impact for 2018. Here's a little more about what we accomplished, made possible by you:
Case Study: Social Impact in Zanzibar, Tanzania
This year, we significantly grew our spice shipments from our partner cooperative in Zanzibar, including a few firsts along the way:
- The first-ever harvest of Cinnamon Tree Leaves, previously a by-product of the cinnamon tree harvest (great anywhere you'd use bay leaves)
- The first-ever harvest of Tanga Ginger, which we committed to buy it before it was even harvested
- The first-ever sale of their ENTIRE crop of Black Peppercorns, which Bloomberg magazine wrote "totally redefines a spice you thought you knew"
One way that we measure our social impact is through the amount paid to our partner farmers, so we wanted to share that. In 2017, we paid the cooperative an average of $238 per farmer for their incredible crops; in 2018, we more than doubled that payment to $565 per farmer.
(For you data nerds, the GDP per capita in Zanzibar is around $823, which means that the payment represents 69% of annual GDP for the average Zanzibari.)
We're working on measuring impact in each country where we source spices including India, Egypt, Guatemala, as well as a global overview. Stay tuned.
Donations and Community Support
We may be small, but we're committed to our social and activist values. That means supporting our communities however we can.
In 2018, we donated spices and volunteered our time with some incredible organizations, including:
- Emma's Torch
- Sylvia Center
- AMC Dream Cafe
- Asymmetrical Table
- Cuir Kitchen Brigade
- The Zlatne Uste Golden Festival
- Heritage Radio Network
- Kingsborough Community College's Culinary Program
- Horticultural Society of New York
- NY Junior League
- League of Kitchens
- Museum of Food and Drink
- Just Food
- and many others
We'll keep publishing updates to our impact on this page and in our newsletters. Stay tuned.

1965 August 27 The Beatles came to see Elvis at his CA house in 1964 Cadillac.
Views: 437
For those interested in Elvis' love of Cadillacs and generosity you might check out the 2003 DVD "200 Cadillacs". The title is derived from the fact Elvis probably gave away North of 200 Cadillacs in his life, especially considering the fact he often bought a dozen or more Cadillacs in a given shopping spree, and the fact he basically gave all away except the Pink 1955 Fleetwood for "mamma Gladys". This video also delves into other aspects of Elvis' generosity and is a nice video for the Elvis and/or Cadillac fan!
Hope the leg is coming around
The more i get to know about you for the last 12 years the more interesting you seem to become
Just do not jump back into action until its time
We need you back in one piece
Wow! that looks like some sort of medieval torture device. Watch out for the red-hot poker! I hope you're back to normal soon. Take it easy.
Who sits in front of a fire in summer.... LOL :-)
Kevin, You better be careful down there. Always worry about you falling off the planet. You better come up top where it's safe and the seasons are spot on!
Not Elvis, but 177 klm (bit over a 100 miles) away in Stanthorpe, we have a Johnny Cash Festival. Some info on the link below. Bet ya didn't know that, did ya.
Also not Elvis, a few years back , the Mrs and I drove over to Gene Autry ,OK for the annual Gene Autry Days festival. Met and shook hands with James Drury , THE Virginian. Heck ,it was a free thing but did get his autograph for $25. I'd thought he was gone but he's still kickin'. Dude is like 6'6", a really big guy.
In the shed, we have Elvis, Johnny Cash, 50's & 60's rock and roll, bit of AC/DC, Jimmy Barnes.... all the good stuff for my listening pleasure while working with cars.
Elvis made movies in the area in Florida where I live and a little north of my location so the area is into him big time
Maralin Monroe and Joe Demagio vacationed on the Homosassa River ( Indian name ) here as well and is it ever a beautiful place
Put me on the—- I Love Johnny Cash List —please !!
One of the first things my wife — of now of 43 years said to me when we first met was -" Who do you think you are Johnny Cash ?? "
Those where my very loud race motor cycle days when I wore all black almost all of the time and still do very often
What a voice and county style great man had
Because your mine - I walk the line !!


text: Hey guys, I'm back and with another issue! I've got the game working now which is great! However, I've noticed that the audio works on the front end, but once I enter the match I stop hearing any sound. I can still hear music/notifications from other programs so it's not the headphones... Any one else encounter this? Cheers!

Four-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening is signing on for her first comic book movie.
According to an exclusive report by The Hollywood Reporter, Benning has joined Disney and Marvel's highly anticipated Captain Marvel, the MCU's first female led superhero film.
Captain Marvel has been filling out very nicely with a star-studded cast that includes Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law, Gemma Chan, Clark Gregg and Lee Pace.
Mississippi Grind directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are helming the movie, which is currently in production in and around Los Angeles. (The project also will shoot in Louisiana.) Larson headlines the feature as Carol Danvers, an Air Force pilot whose DNA fuses with that of an alien, sending her into an interstellar adventure. The character had a major tease in Avengers: Infinity War, with the solo movie being set in the 1990s.
Annette Bening is a powerful actress whose acting credits include American Beauty, 20th Century Women, The Kids Are Alright and the list goes on. News of her casting is absolutely a surprise to several because Bening typically avoids appearing in big budget films so joining a project that's apart of such a huge machine like Disney must mean that the role is an exciting one. Details on her character are being kept under wraps. The most we know is that she will be playing some type of scientist.
Captain Marvel flies into theaters on March 8, 2019!

For many people, there's a real thrill in starting a DIY project. It's finishing it which proves to be a problem. Others think "I don't have lots of time to make that!"
Well, good news, you don't have to commit to hours on end, because MakeKit projects can be made in 2 hours or less.
Even better still you don't have to be a crafting expert. If you can hold a brush you can complete these projects.
Each one comes with an age suitability rate and a difficulty out of 10. 5/10 is the highest making it easy to create a professional looking product, easily.
Here's a quick time guide based on our current products:
Make in less than an hour
Young Children
- Baby teether – make it for a new baby brother or sister. Depending on their age the child may need some help knotting the thread at the end. This also a great gift to give to a friend who is expecting.
- Wooden beads necklaces – this kit is excellent for play dates and birthday parties. It comes with a large blunt needle making it safe and easy for kids to use.
- Pom pom starter kit – WARNING! Pom pom making is very addictive. This is an ALL AGES kit that comes with wool and two express pom pom makers.
- Bath bombs - this is a great 'time to calm the kids down' project, followed by yummy smelling bath time (24 hours setting time in fridge).
- Fringe and beads necklaces - for the young Fashionista. Enough to make four necklaces with gorgeous beads.
Tweens to Adults
- Leather key ring – as well as a fashion accessory we promise you will never lose your keys again.
- Soy candle in vintage teacup – we've sourced gorgeous vintage teacups as the basis of this project and the subtle lavender or orange blossom oil will create a natural scent.
- Luxury 'Everything' butter – we used to call it body butter but since it's also a great eye makeup remover, cleanser, hair moisturiser, facial moisturiser and shaving cream its a skincare superstar!
- Coffee Exfoliating bars – why not make some for Dad? Coffee wakes up your body as well as your mind.
- Food Wraps – join the plasticwrap-free movement. Comes with 3 zig-zagged (non-fraying) cotton pieces in gorgeous food-related prints.
- Shampoo bars – These are a no waste (or plastic), simple to make alternative to traditional shampoos. And because they are solid and concentrated they also last much longer.
Make in 1 to 2 hours
Young Children
- Pizza dinner – an excellent project for a parent to do with a child. Young ones can cut shapes and stuff the pizza crust while Mum or Dad hand stitch the pizza base.
- Robot making - these sell out faster than anything else at our local markets. A great Dad and child project with banging, nailing and gluing!
Tweens to Adults
- Gemstone soaps – this popular kit comes with two soap dyes to produce many more shades and colours. The end product is always a great surprise.
- Macrame plant holder – this continues to be one of our most popular kits. Everyone loves seeing the knots turn into a stylish planter. Plus it's extremely therapeutic and loads cheaper than a life coach.
- Ring cones – even though the drying time is 24 hours (it's air during clay) the moulding and painting takes about an hour. Finish with the varnish makes it look like you bought it in a design store.

Sean Ahern of Ahern Anvil started this week installing the front entry stairs for a contemporary home we designed for a young Chicago couple at Kiawah on Sweet Spire. The stairs are made of Corten Steel wall over a concrete base. This type of steel doesn't need painting as the steel rusts the rust provides the exterior protective "crust". The main curved Corten steel wall was inpired by American sculptor Richard Serra who's sculptures use curved steel walls to define space. Ahern Anvil has done an excellent job installing these. Complimenting these stairs, landscape architect JR Kramer of ReMark Studio are using curved steel as retaining walls on the site. Matt Byrd of Byrd Builder is doing a wonderful job as the general contractor on this home. They have handled these sophisticated elements with ease.

Biology student lends a paw to campus food pantryCorinne Blackburn | Biology, Undergraduate | Biology Department You might have seen Corinne Blackburn on campus.
She's kind of hard to miss with her purple motorcycle. You also might have seen her participating in one of the 10 organizations she has been heavily involved in while at IUPUI. As a Sam H. Jones Scholar, Blackburn is no stranger to service either. She joined this community service scholars program during her junior year and worked at the nonprofit Global Peace Initiatives, where she learned about sustainability and the importance of a healthy diet.
Blackburn said working for the Global Peace Initiatives "was my first introduction to human sustainability and provoked my passion for community service." This passion for community service led Blackburn to take on one of her biggest challenges yet: helping start a student-run organization.
Enter in Paws Pantry, a then newly forming food pantry with the goal of supporting students, faculty and staff with food assistance. When Blackburn was approached by one of the student co-directors of the pantry she knew this organization was something special and wanted to do whatever she could to help. She immediately took an active role in the organization's founding committee, serving as the coordinator of external partnerships and director of documentation and data.
Blackburn still remembers opening day for the pantry: "The day that we cut the ribbon for our pantry was probably one of the happiest ones I've had at IUPUI." Now, as student director of Paw's Pantry, Blackburn oversees a committee of nine individuals and is responsible for keeping the pantry up and running.
Since stepping in as director during her senior year at IUPUI, the pantry has expanded into its own storage space and held more than 10 food drives this year. The pantry has also seen more than 500 visits and expanded its outreach to not only the IUPUI community but also the Indianapolis community.
As a pre-med biology student in the School of Science, Blackburn is familiar with using science in everyday life. She's applied her knowledge by working in three scientific research laboratories and has even been able to use the skills she's learned as a science student while working at Paw's Pantry.
"I was able to incorporate all of the experiences I have had in laboratories into my role at Paws Pantry, collecting data and finding statistical significance in our visits and food values," said Blackburn. "I was able to interact with our shoppers and not only see that statistical impact we were having, but also the personal impact on each and every one of them."
Blackburn's hard work and involvement with IUPUI and the Indianapolis community were recognized this year, as she was named an IUPUI Top 100 student and then received top honors as the Most Outstanding Female Student. She applied to Indiana University School of Medicine with the hopes of becoming a pediatric oncologist. In the mean time, she'll continue to leave her mark on IUPUI. Just keep an eye out for the girl with the motorcycle.

Meet Miss Kyra…Mercy Children's Speedway Miracle Child
Kyra might look familiar if you have stopped at a Speedway in Northwest Ohio recently. That is why we have decided to share her story from her mother's point of view.
"Our Story starts with our son that was born at 27 weeks back on July 9th, 2011. He fought for 30 days in the NICU at Mercy Children's. He was also transferred for a couple days to U of M in Ann Arbor for surgery to close his PDA due to a grade 2 bleed in his head. After the surgery, he was transferred back to Mercy. He was doing good and started to have seizures and ended up passing away on August 12th, 2011.
Once we found out we were pregnant with Kyra, Amber's doctor did all the precautions during the pregnancy with progesterone shots, ultrasounds every couple weeks, and steroid shots for lung development. After our 20 week ultrasound once we found out we were having a girl, they noticed that Amber started to funnel. They immediately took her in to have a cerclage inserted. Amber then took her Strep B test and was negative for it. Then on May 21st Kyra was born around 6 at night. After a couple hours and everyone left Amber and I noticed her breathing different and couldn't calm her down, so we had the special care nurses take her to clean her up and look her over. After a little bit we were brought so devastating news that she would have to be life lighted to Mercy Children's for care in the NICU. In the middle of the night the NICU crew came and got her and after talking to them they remember us from Cameron. We had no idea what to expect and all we could think about was what we went through with Cameron just 2 years earlier. Amber was released from the hospital first thing in the morning and we headed up to Toledo to find out what was going on and the NICU team told us that she had GBS pneumonia and everything was looking good and had 14 days of meds. On the 14th day we were able to take her home!"

Some things can't quite be measured by a sterling resumé and perfect answers to standard job interview questions.
More and more companies today are realizing the need to test prospective employees to see if they're a cultural fit. If you're a more laid-back, casual company, someone used to a Wall Street environment might be a poor fit, even if they can perform the job admirably. Likewise, if your business moves at entrepreneurial speed, you want someone open to change and able to think on their toes.
How important is a positive company culture (and finding the right employees who jibe with that culture)? According to the Society for Human Resource Management, the cost of turnover due to a poor cultural fit can be 50 to 60 percent of that person's annual salary.
Making sure that someone doesn't violate your company's "No Jerks" rule doesn't just make your employees happy, it keeps the bottom line in order.
Here are three ways you can test for cultural fit at your next interview.
Employment Period
You wouldn't buy a car without a test drive. I don't believe you should hire an employee without putting them through a trial run, even something as simple as a day or two.
Companies such as Joor and Sequoia Capital are among the many workplaces all over the country that test for cultural fit by hiring them for a short period. They pay the employee a fair stipend and cover the travel costs, if they're coming from out of the area.
Only do this when you're at the finalist stage, though. This can be a highly effective way to see how your employees feel about the prospective hire. It also is their chance to prove to you that they can back up what they've boasted in the cover letter.
It's risky and non-traditional, but I think it's such a smart way to hire. I wish more companies took this route. They'd learn at day one (not 3 months later) that the employee is a poor cultural fit, saving tens of thousands of dollars down the line.
Have Interviewees Take a Personality Test
Another tactic many companies use to learn more about prospective hires is to have them take a personality test. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a popular one.
If you go this route, make sure to test your employees as well, so you have a control group. If you have a team full of extroverts, hiring an introvert might make that person feel all alone. Maybe you have a good balance on that, but need more of a critical thinker.
While it's not an official indicator of personality, the test can give you more information into the mind of a potential hire. You're not alone: 89 of the Fortune 100 companies use some element of Myers-Briggs in the hiring process.
Myers-Briggs has come with a fair amount of controversy and criticism, so do the research to find if this is the best tactic for your company. Other hiring tests are out there — or you could create your own, if you feel comfortable enough.
Ask Open-Ended Questions
Asking seemingly random questions is a staple of the hiring process at Google. While they used to ask embarrassingly wacky brain teasers as a way to thin the herd, the company has started asking more practical questions that give insight into the personality of the prospect.
Here's a look at some of the cultural questions that potential hires have been asked by Googlers:
"Which do you think has more advertising potential in Boston, a flower shop or a funeral home?"
"How many ways can you think of to find a needle in a haystack?"
"Do you prefer earning or learning?"
These questions are designed to get interviewees out of their comfort zone. Almost every interviewee has practiced responses and is ready to respond to the same questions they've heard over and over. You don't want to know what they've rehearsed. You want to know how they work.
With these questions, you can gain valuable insight into how their mind works and find out if they would be a great fit with your team.

A damning report has described the culture of care in Child, Youth and Family as "dump and run".
The report by the Children's Commissioner, Dr Russell Wills, details the agency's handling of cases of abuse, neglect and foster care.
"Is it any wonder that they're more likely to leave school with no qualifications, to end up unemployed, to have arrest records?" That is not ok. We need to do a lot better for these young people," Dr Wills says.
The report says around 5000 children are in CYF care, 56 per cent of them are Maori and in one year alone 117 children suffered "substantiated abuse".
CYF is already undergoing a major overhaul.
"Social workers, who are out there doing their best in a difficult job, spend less than 15 per cent of their time with children and over 50 per cent of their time on paper work. The system is not right," says Anne Tolley, Social Development Minister.
The report says it's not possible to know if children are better off as a result of state intervention.
And of the 1743 kids that left CYF supervision last year, the agency cannot say why 1042 of them left.
Daryl Brougham spent his childhood going in and out of 50 state care homes, subjected to neglect, starvation and abuse.
Daryl, a former CYF foster child, now 34, received an apology this year for the failure in his care.
"Often in my time in care I was to believe that I moved so much because it was my fault. And I started to believe that. So with the apology letter, that was really a licence to say 'Darryl, it's not your fault'," he says.
Darryl now hoping the Children's Commissioner's report signals the start of a new chapter for New Zealand's most vulnerable children.
