Mayr had already earned esteem in Venice for his church music when, in 1802, he assumed the post of maestro di cappella at the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo. With a modest orchestra at his disposal he soon composed a Miserere in G Minor, in which solo orchestral instruments often carry on a dialogue with the vocal soloists in a succession of powerful, descriptive and beautiful arias and choruses. The Litaniae Lauretanae, cast in three parts, features wide leaping figures and sighing melodies.
Though Berlioz and, to a lesser extent, Franck wrote symphonic poems, it is Saint-Saëns who has been largely credited with introducing the genre to France. A wide orchestral palette and stirring reserves of drama are used to evoke the youthful audacity and death of Phaéton, the ultimate triumph of virtue over pleasure in La Jeunesse d'Hercule ('The Youth of Hercules'), and Hercules' punishment, spinning wool while dressed as a woman, for the 'inadvertent murder' of one of his guests, in Le Rouet d'Omphale ('The Spinning Wheel of Omphale'). The ever-popular Danse macabre is a spooky depiction of Death playing a dance on his fiddle on a tomb in a graveyard surrounded by skeletal dancers.
Emerging from a cultural environment of silent resistance behind the Iron Curtain, Lithuanian composer Onutė Narbutaitė has become one of the outstanding Baltic artists of recent decades. Her output has developed from distinctive chamber music into the concerto-like symphonic style heard in the works on this recording. Described by conductor Christopher Lyndon-Gee as music that 'transcends time and place… [and] resists any attempt at stylistic categorization or pigeonholing', these works convey powerful forces that flow between symbols and associations while probing direct emotional connections. Narbutaitė's imposing Tres Dei Matris Symphoniae can be heard on Naxos 8.572295: 'a mind-blowing listening experience' (American Record Guide).
Sousa, the American master of the march, also enjoyed great prestige in the realm of operetta. The suite from The American Maid, set in a glass factory and culminating in scenes based on the 1898 Spanish-American War, was among the first theatrical shows to employ actual film footage. The beautiful quintet from his early operetta The Smugglers was scored for his eminent brass virtuosi. The medley of drinking songs called A Mingling of the Wets and the Drys was composed during Prohibition, while the unusual and previously unrecorded March of the Pan Americans – Part One celebrates the independent nations of North and South America in 1915 with zest and elan.
The eighth volume in this acclaimed series of Isaac Albéniz's complete solo piano works features a wide range of pieces from his early period. These charming works show a development from 19th century salon style towards the assimilation of Spanish folk music, including rare jewels such as the relatively unknown Minuet in G minor, and the Mallorca barcarole with its use of novel rhythmic material. The programme concludes with the virtuoso Spanish Rhapsody in its less well-known solo piano version.
These three major British concertos span fully 70 years. Kenneth Leighton's Concerto is a work of tensile urgency, scored with great imagination, and ending in an arch-like Epilogue of impassioned intensity. Written for soloist and string orchestra, the Concerto by Gordon Jacob contains at its heart a threnodic slow movement cast in long, moving paragraphs and accompanied by poetic effects. Written for (and premiered by) the soloist in this recording, Paul Patterson's Violin Concerto No. 2, 'Serenade' is rich in high spirits; songlike, wistful and exuberantly sparkling.
This recording of choral works showcase a group of composers who are or were once faculty members of the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, CUNY. The widely differing languages and poetic aesthetics set by these composers represent the concept of "Songs of Peace and Praise," from symbolic, descriptive pieces such as Bright Sheng's Two Folk Songs from Qinghai to tender and moving interpretations of traditional texts such as Allen Brings' In paradisum. The voices of The New York Virtuoso Singers and Queens College combine to express the universal nature of shared experience.
Count Imre Széchényi of Sárvár-Felsővidék moved in the highest echelons of the Austrian diplomatic service, in a career that ran parallel with his musical activities. Széchényi's dances, all but three of which were composed in St. Petersburg, were popular in his day, and of a quality that saw them placed in concert programmes by his friend Johann Strauss II. Appearing here in their premiere recordings, they reveal a brilliant collection of mazurkas and polkas with a keen sense of humour and deep feeling in their arching musical brush strokes and romantic melodies.

Credit cards offer a line of interest-free credit (loan) that is usually billed once a month. Credit cards are
usually not connected to a personal bank account, but another bank or financial institution that issues the
card. Debit cards, by contrast are always linked to a bank account and money is withdrawn from the account when
a transaction occurs. The most
popular credit card networks are MasterCard, VISA and American Express.
Credit cards exhibit some risks for merchants. Credit card payments can easily be disputed and charged-back
which may result in a lot of hassle for the merchant. Furthermore, payments take up to a few days to settle
during which the exchange or broker needs to prepay the cryptocurrency purchase with own funds or bank
In many cases, credit cards are the easiest and fastest way to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies.
Exchanges and brokers transfer your coins to your account almost instantly after the payment was confirmed by
Visa or Mastercard.
While cryptocurrency transactions are generally irreversible, credit card payments allow for a reversal of funds
to the customer if a transaction is disputed and a chargeback requested. Hence, cryptocurrency brokers offer
credit card payments at a surcharge.
With MasterCard and VISA you can buy the following cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash,
Ripple, Dash, Monero. Please check our exchange and broker detail pages to learn more.

Band of Misfits
What was wild about Jesus is that he called these fishermen. Basically, because they were fishermen this meant that they didn't make it through Rabi school. Plus, they didn't have to come begging him to let them be his shadow- he said, "C'mon" and they went. These misfits. Following the Brilliant Creator of the Universe! It reminded me what an honor it is to know Him & follow Him. Who am I that he would call me & save me from my selfishness? Who are we that he would let us learn from Him & change us to become more like Him? Who are we that He offers us his friendship?
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my load is light."
-Matthew 11:29-30

A new papal decree states that believers who follow this month's Rio World Youth Day online could be entitled to an "indulgence", a medieval spiritual incentive that reduces your time in purgatory.
If the internet represents the modern world, then the 2,000-year-old Catholic church represents tradition. So the news that the Vatican is now offering "indulgences" – in earlier times a sort of theological sentence reduction for those who die and go to purgatory rather than heaven – to online followers of the Rio World Youth Day (WYD) event, prompted a degree of bemusement among Catholics and some derision among non-believers.
Earlier this year the Pope announced that anyone attending WYD, traditionally a celebration of shared identity involving young Catholics from across the world, would obtain a plenary indulgence. It is not unusual for Catholic pilgrims to be offered such incentives to spiritual improvement – they were available in medieval times to pilgrims attending the famous shrine at Santiago de Compostela.
Then, on 24 June, a papal decree, reported in the Corriere Della Sera newspaper, stated that: "The faithful who are legitimately impeded (from attending Rio WYD) can obtain the plenary indulgence if… they follow these same rites and pious exercises… always with appropriate devotion, by the new means of social communication."
Believers might have been forgiven for thinking it was now possible to save themselves money and time simply by logging on and following events in Brazil from the comfort of their iPads.
Not so. Cue Monsignor Claudio Maria Celli, president of the pontifical council for social communications, who issued this stern warning: "You don't get the indulgence the way you get a coffee from a vending machine… What really matters is that the Pope's tweets from Brazil, or the photos of World Youth day that will be posted on Pinterest, should bear authentic spiritual fruit in the hearts of each one of us.
"Then even a youngster who is a very long way from Brazil and feels involved by a video, a simple text message or an email, will be truly taking part in the World Youth Day and will receive the gift of the indulgence."
The promise of an indulgence drove Richard Dawkins, Britain's most famous atheist, to Twitter. "Twitter indulgences to shorten purgatory. Every time you think they can't go any lower, they pull a stunt like this," read one of his tweets.
Another said: "Get a year off purgatory for each follower to whom you RT the Pope… 100 yrs for each tweet you fave. Best scam ever?"
Twitter indulgences to shorten purgatory. http://t.co/mgRIUZLfiq Every time you think they can't go any lower, they pull a stunt like this.
— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) July 17, 2013
But the Vatican's attempt to blend the traditional and the contemporary also raised spiritual questions among those less sceptical than Mr Dawkins. Eleana Curti, deputy editor of the Tablet, the Catholic weekly, says the offer of an indulgence could be an acknowledgement of the practical difficulties in actually getting to Brazil.
"The key is those who are far away. They're very conscious in Rome that a lot of young people won't be able to get to Rio," she told Channel 4 News. "At the same time, the Vatican wants to make as many young people as possible feel part of WYD.
"What Celli and others are saying is that if you prayerfully follow what is happening in Rio, it will be as good as being there for those young people."
And how are modern believers supposed to square the medieval notion of a shortened stay in a place called purgatory with purgatory's modern Catholic definition, as "the state of those who die in God's friendship, assured of their eternal salvation, but who still have need of purification"?
Paul Murray, professor of systematic theology at Durham University, says human ideas of time and space are just "picture language" to evoke things that cannot be described in literal terms, and that the traditional definition of the indulgence is based on such out-of-date terminology.
"At the heart of what it (the Vatican's offer of an indulgence) is trying to say is the effectiveness of prayer and our ability, in communion with the prayer of the church, to dispose ourselves to the healing grace of God," he told Channel 4 News.

Clare Williamson is an Accredited Life Coach and Founder of CW Full Circle.
Clare is trained under the International Coaching Federation principles and has deep personal experience that she brings into her coach approach.
Access the course of your choice by clicking corresponding image below.
From Fear to Fierce is Clare's signature course; a short course born out of her own experience across the period of 12 months. In a fast-paced society she hopes to fast track you to your own success by giving you insight into yourself, better understanding of yourself, practical tools to make changes and begin a journey of inner healing and sharing her most important learnings.
In 2004 Clare suffered an experience that would change her life. Whilst travelling around South America she was drugged and raped. For 14 years after this attack Clare built a world that was a nice, safe bubble. She developed a deep anxiety disorder that prevented her wandering outside of that safe bubble and made decisions from that place, thought from that place and acted from that place.
Clare originally trained to be a Life Coach in 2016, but found it difficult to "put herself out there" whilst trapped by the same fears that had held her back for so many years.
It wasn't until 2017 that Clare decided to take control of her life, by taking control of her fear. This didn't come in the way she had always feared it would; by opening the boxes that she had locked down tight to let the demons out. With a transformational Life Coach of her own, Clare learned to rewire her mind and take action that dissolved the fears, and changed her life by changing her focus.
Clare's coaching uses the practices of neuro-linguistic programming and law of attraction. She is known and loved for her positivity and energy. And she has a mission to change the world one mind at a time.

Sweden challenges bail for Assange?
LONDON -- A judge ordered Julian Assange released on $316,000 bail Tuesday, but the WikiLeaks founder will remain in custody for at least two more days after Swedish prosecutors challenged that decision.
Assange, 39, has spent a week in a U.K. jail following his surrender to British police over a Swedish sex-crimes warrant. He denies any wrongdoing, but has refused to voluntarily surrender to Sweden's request to extradite him for questioning -- arguing that he could be questioned from Britain.
In a day of courtroom drama, Assange, an Australian, was first told by a judge that he would be freed, then less than two hours later was informed he had at least another 48 hours in custody.
The High Court will hear the Swedish appeal, but it wasn't clear exactly when.
"They clearly will not spare any expense to keep Mr. Assange in jail," his lawyer, Mark Stephens, told journalists outside the entrance to the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court. "This is really turning into a show trial."
Lawyer Gemma Lindfield, acting for Sweden, had asked the court to deny Assange bail, arguing Tuesday that the allegations against him were serious, that he had only weak ties to Britain and that he had "the means and ability to abscond."
Reminding the court that it had already labeled Assange "a flight risk," she argued that "nothing has changed since last week to allay the court's fears in this regard."
She also rejected attempts to link Assange's case with the work of WikiLeaks, which last month deeply angered U.S. officials by beginning to publish its trove of 250,000 secret U.S. diplomatic cables.
"This is not a case about WikiLeaks, rather a case about alleged serious offenses against two women," Lindfield told the court Tuesday.
Celebrity supporters in the court -- including socialite Jemima Khan and actress Bianca Jagger -- and hundreds of pro-WikiLeaks demonstrators outside the building cheered at District Judge Howard Riddle's decision to grant Assange bail.
Under the ruling, Assange must wear an electronic tag, stay at a specific address, report to police every evening and observe two four-hour curfews each day in addition to putting up the bond.
Lindfield has said Assange is accused of rape, molestation and unlawful coercion by two women for separate incidents last August in Sweden. She said one had accused him of pinning her down and refusing to use a condom. A second woman says Assange had sex with her without a condom while he was a guest at her Stockholm home and she was asleep.
In Sweden, a person who has sex with an unconscious, drunk or sleeping person can be convicted of rape and sentenced to up to six years in prison.
Assange has not been charged in Sweden. His lawyers say the allegations stem from a dispute over "consensual but unprotected sex" and argue that he has offered to make himself available for questioning via video link or in person in the U.K., where Scotland Yard has facilities for foreign prosecutors to quiz people.
Several wealthy supporters -- including filmmaker Michael Moore -- have put up a total of 240,000 pounds ($380,000) as a guarantee for Assange, his lawyers said.
Vaughan Smith, founder of the Frontline Club -- a restaurant and forum for journalists in London -- told the court Tuesday that Assange was misunderstood. Under the terms of his bail, Assange would be ordered to live at Ellingham Hall, Smith's 10-bedroom country mansion in Suffolk, southeastern England.
"The Julian Assange I know has a number of qualities. He's a very honorable person, hugely courageous, self-deprecatory, warm -- none of the things you read about," Smith told the court.
Riddle said he had granted Assange bail because -- unlike a week ago -- he now had a verified address to live at and had cleared up confusion over when he arrived in Britain.
Assange's next court appearance was set for Jan. 11, ahead of a full hearing on Feb. 7 and 8.
Stephens said his client was "phlegmatic" about having to remain in jail.
Outside the court, Smith said Assange feared that the Swedish extradition case was an attempt to punish him for WikiLeaks' publication of the U.S. diplomatic cables and that legal challenges from U.S. authorities were coming in the future.
"What he fears is being hauled off to America to a dark room that doesn't have a key," Smith told reporters.
Although that fear is shared by Assange supporters, who believe that Washington will try to extradite him from Sweden, legal experts and Swedish officials have said that such a move would be impossible without British approval.
"Sweden cannot, without such consent, extradite a person, for example to the USA," a statement posted to the Swedish prosecution website said last week.
Demonstrators outside the court also believed Assange was being victimized.
"It is too much of a coincidence," said protester Alex Potterill, 33. "This is an attack on the valuable work of WikiLeaks. It is an attempt to gag a valuable source of information."
Assange's mother Christine, who was flown to Britain by Australian media outlets, watched the hearing nervously from a public gallery about six feet (two meters) from her son's seat. She gave a huge smile as Riddle granted bail.
"I just want to thank everyone who's turned up to show their support and who's taken an interest," Christine Assange told The Associated Press as she waved to her son.
She was not in court later to hear that her reunion with her son had been thrown into doubt by the Swedish appeal.
Raphael G. Satter, Cassandra Vinograd and Jill Lawless in London contributed to this report.

Snack Review
Taste test: This was a knockoff version of the Nestle 100 Grand bar, with the same combination of chocolate, caramel and "Crispy Crunchies." The major difference seemed to be that the caramel in this version was much thicker, making it a bit tough to bite into, and quite an effort to chew.
The taste was actually pretty good, but they really didn't get the texture right. Unlike 100 Grand, it was all one bar, not two bars packaged end-to-end.

(INTELLIHUB) — Dr. Phil told TMZ on Wednesday that Kanye West's recent comments about love and slavery show a lack of impulse control and disregulated thought.
"[Kanye's comments] show to me a lack of impulse control," the washed up doctor said. "It shows what I would refer to as disregulated thought."
Dr. Phil added that Kanye has no "filter," and said that "the hing's he is saying are irresponsible and they're ignorant."
"This is just attention getting behavior," he maintained. "I'll guarantee you he has empowered white supremacists, he has empowered hate groups, with the things he is saying here."

Sometime ago, on a balmy September night a bright young capitalist, David Evans Jensen, along with his beautiful spouse & domestic engineer, Hope Jensen, engaged in coitus. As a result, the poetry & songs of Wesley Thurston Jensen can be heard today.
Wesley's music is an embryonic sound burgeoning daily into panache emblematic of his modern & classical influences most commonly derivative of folk, experimental, or alternative genres. Lyrically, it is quite ordinary for Mr. Jensen to chronicle sought after questions, personal grief, doubts, relationships, and his refreshingly semi-optimistic worldview.
Jensen was born and raised in the small town of Redding, CA and his music often reflects this small town upbringing, heavily inspired by the people and scenery surrounding him. His lyrics are honest and music pure, mixing the best of new and old sound. Wesley has been around for 7 years and counting, touring the country and releasing a number of records including his latest, an upcoming full length album called Californian. Californian was produced and engineered by Jensen at his humble studio he calls, Whiskey Hound Studios. Different from previous folk-pop tunes, this new surf/pop noise/rock record pays great tribute to some of his favorite albums: Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Velvet Underground's Loaded, and Neil Young's On The Beach.

Antoine Wade, founder of Switch Fresh, has produced the world's first replaceable deodorant. This patented product reduces plastic waste and is an eco-friendly alternative to the hundreds of deodorant bottles the average person will dispose of in their lifetime.
We caught up with him to find out more about his business:
SB: What inspired you to create Switch Fresh?
AW: Products evolve and deodorant has seen limited innovation. I wanted to break the cycle and change the way we use and purchase deodorant. After analyzing a bottle of deodorant I realized two things, most solid deodorants are only half full. Half is the stick you twist to raise it and the other half is the actual deodorant.
Also, I noticed that there's nothing wrong with the packaging we discard, besides the fact that it's empty. I wanted to create something that we could reuse, but also worked well and looked cool.
I thought, how awesome would it be to have a bottle with your favorite colors, designs or vacation spot? We love products that we have a connection to. We keep reminders of people we love and places we visited on our walls and screen savers. Why not have one in our bathroom to put a smile on our face?
With that in mind, I wanted to blend style and convenience. Everyone knows they'll need to purchase deodorant again and again, so we created a platform to simplify the transaction. Order the bottle once and schedule how often you'll need the refills to come. That way you can skip the store and spend time doing things that you value.
SB; Switch Fresh is patented product. How many patents do you have for it and for what specifically?
AW: I have two patents for the Switch Fresh deodorant bottle. One for utility and one for design. We wanted to protect the way it looks and functions. I also have three additional patents in the works.
SB: Dwyane Wade is your cousin. Have you discussed this project with him and what was his response? Is he involved in any way?
AW: Yes, he said it's the best idea he's ever heard(laughing) just kidding. Honestly, he was one of the first to know about it. He thought it was really unique and cool. He's given great advice and encouraged me to pursue this dream. He's not involved in any way besides being a supportive family member.
However, I can say that if I hadn't worked with him for over a decade, learning the business of building a brand, I probably wouldn't have set my sights on launching a company of my own.
SB: We're always interested in businesses that manufacture. What was the process for finding the right manufacturer?
AW: Relentless searching. (laughing). The internet is an awesome tool to narrow down specifically what you're looking for. A lot of companies told me to go international with both the injection mold (bottles) and deodorant to keep my costs down. But I wanted to keep the manufacturing of both our bottles and the deodorant in the US, and more specifically the Chicagoland area.
I think it's important to be a short drive or plane trip away so I can easily meet face to face with our partners. From there, I had to find someone who was not only capable of producing our bottles, but willing to try something new since this is the first deodorant bottle of its kind. Some manufacturers weren't interested in making anything other than standard deodorant bottles. Others required a huge minimum order that was much more than we could commit to, being that we're a startup.
When it came to the product to fill the bottles, I needed a vendor who could produce a wide variety of deodorant and antiperspirant formulas, as well as other personal care products because we plan to grow the brand. The process took about a year and ultimately, I partnered with two great local companies that are experts at what they do. So, the time was well worth it.
SB: Your products have a cool design. Do you have a designer as part of your team are you outsourcing that task?
AW: I was an art major so I love being involved in the design phase. On the other hand, it's time consuming so we do have designers. Marlon Muñoz, our Creative Director handles the designs. He and I collaborate on the overall look and feel, but what you see is the result of his technical expertise.
We also have Melanie Gales who works with the product design and our lead engineer, Matt Nottingham, who helped bring the vision to life. Collectively I feel we have a great team that recognizes new consumer trends but also creates timeless designs customers will love.
SB:What is the most rewarding thing about being an entrepreneur. What is the most challenging thing?
AW: The most rewarding part is having a vision and watching it unfold into an actual tangible product. It's extremely gratifying to see what once was an idea become real. I liken it to having a child. You plan, then wait as your baby grows to the point where it's ready to be introduced to the world, later there's birth.
You have this exciting addition in your life and you can only imagine how their life will unfold. We've given birth to Switch Fresh, now we get to watch it grow up. The most challenging part of being an entrepreneur – patience! We all want our businesses to be a huge success instantly. However, it takes time for a tree to become a tree. I constantly have to remind myself that the best growth is organic and that doesn't happen overnight.
SB: Where do you see your business in 5 years?
AW: I see us doing new exciting things in personal care. I don't want to jump the gun and divulge what we have in store. We'll save that for a follow up interview. But I think we'll be an up and coming player in our industry.
We already have preorders from all around the world and we're brand new. To continue to build on that and turn our brand into a household name is the goal. I know God has a plan for our business and I just have to have faith and continue build it.
SB: What advice do you have for other aspiring entrepreneurs?
AW: You can do it! You're smart, you're creative don't ever tell yourself or let someone tell you otherwise. What's cool or important to you may not be to someone else, and that's ok. Because there are people like you who are interested in the things you like and value your voice or creativity.
You will hear no very often. Not because it's a bad idea, but because it's difficult to explain your vision to someone and have them interpret it exactly as you see it. Don't lose faith because they see in black and white while you see in color. Keep working and find those who speak the same language that you do.

text: Featured Company Studio Visits: Cleversteam 18 December 2017 Share: Featured Company Sign up, join theOH community OH thanks forsigning up! Yes, I want to get the get the latest news about OH Cleversteam is a digital agency that came about in January 2010 by Daniel Nicolson, Managing Director. Located in the heart of Liverpool, the team of nine are shifting gears in the world of Work & Travel and Sports Delivery, working with organisations and companies such as Smaller Earth, Camp Leaders, Sports England, Total Swimming and Total Gymnastics to help them with all their development and design needs. You get the feeling after having met the team here that there's a real sense of unity amongst them. It's lovely, actually – Cleversteam seems to as much as a way of living as it is a way of working. We sit down with Daniel to find out more about who they are, what they do and what they stand for as an agency. Cleversteam "I was a freelance developer at the time and one of my contracts was a company called Smaller Earth. We were getting on well and after a short amount of time they offered me a job as a web developer. I politely declined. I really enjoyed the business side of things and on the coding front I didn't really want to be tied down to one project," says Daniel. "They came back to me with an idea… They proposed setting up a new company to sit within the international group of companies they run. This business would service the needs of all the firms within the group but also be free to pursue other work. That sounded much more up my street and we set upon building a team to bring." " It's amazing to think that 24/7 people are using our software to achieve their ambitions." As an agency they "develop large web applications, the kind of systems that really empower a business to function. We work in two distinct sectors; work & travel and sports delivery," he explains. "Work & Travel is the industry that facilitates the placement of people in seasonal work abroad. It could be going to work at a summer camp in America, a ski resort in Canada or a hotel in New Zealand." They work with companies in this sector including Camp Leaders, Work and Traveller, USA Summer Camp, Smaller Earth and Resort Leaders to provide them web solutions. "Sports Delivery is what we call organisations and companies that deliver sport in one form or another. This could be the a publically funded institutions or the large national commercial Sports clubs teaching kids to learn to swim." They work with some of the biggest brands, such as Sports England, Total Swimming, and Total Gymnastics in the country and some of our most famous Olympians, including Becky Adlington, to provide bespoke booking systems that help tens of thousands of kids engage in sport each week. Impressive, huh? When they're not focusing on client work, they're busy building their own products that help and support the industries that they're working in. One of which is their flagship product, Hanover, that they're ultimately very proud of and has been a highlight for them as an agency. "We bill it as the Work & Travel CRM. It processes tens of thousands of people into work abroad each year. Recruitment agencies and visa sponsors are the world use it to manage the entire process from participants signing up to employers finding the right people to hire to someone arriving in the host country and knowing where to go. It's amazing to think that 24/7 people are using our software to achieve their ambitions." It wasn't a surprise to us then when Daniel shared another highlight, which was when they were awarded Edge Hill University Employer of the Year 2017. "We've always maintained a strong relationship with the uni and it was great to be recognised at a ceremony in spring." " Our clients often expect agile developments and support and I believe this can only be achieved when staff have the trust and autonomy to get on with things without fear." They're an agency that see the people that they do work with "as strategic partners" because "reliance and growth can work both ways." Intrigued by this we ask about their creative process, "from the outset we've been about creating meaningful relationships with the people we work with," says Daniel, "it's easy to build a simple website, throw it up on a server and move onto the next. It's much more difficult to ingrain yourself into a business and understand the problems you're solving through tech solutions. But the latter, for me, is far more fulfilling, satisfying and sustainable." It's clear that Daniel and his team wear their values on their sleeves and strive to do something for a living that isn't only something they enjoy, but also something that's going to be impactful for both their clients and the world. "We're a fairly young team working in a relaxed environment," he explains, "our clients often expect agile developments and support and I believe this can only be achieved when staff have the trust and autonomy to get on with things without fear." We asked Daniel what four words described Cleversteam, "Ambition. Excellence. Innovation. Passion. Trustworthiness. Self Development. Relationships. That's eight, yes. But they're our values." " We've just returned from Montreal where we were pitching our Hanover product at a world youth travel conference. This has led to strong interest in the software from companies across the globe." "It's important to really enjoy what you do," he reflects, "it's a cliche but life is short and your work takes up too big of a part of it to be unhappy with your job. When hiring we look for passion. We look for people who are going to come in on a Monday morning and want to be there. Luckily for most coders it's a lifestyle, not a chore and as a result I believe we've always had a team of people who are passionate about what they do." Their structure is different to a lot of agencies we've spoken to, they're a part of a larger family and sit alongside a group of international companies. "This gives a global feel to what we do. We meet up with the rest of the group employees once a year and whilst it may also mean the odd late night call, it does also open up a world of travel opportunities." Such opportunities are beginning to take their team and their products to the next level. "We've just returned from Montreal where we were pitching our Hanover product at a world youth travel conference. This has led to strong interest in the software from companies across the globe." More closer to home, they'll also soon be moving into their new office at the Albert Dock as they embark on growing the team in 2018.

Editorial: Against Props 1 and 2, for Vazquez in District J
Alaskans go to the polls Aug. 28 to decide primary races and two ballot initiatives. Here are some final thoughts:
Against Prop 1: This measure would allow municipalities to raise the property tax exemption from the first $20,000 in value to as much as $50,000. It's been advanced by some folks in Fairbanks including former Borough Mayor Jim Whitaker, who told the Anchorage Daily News that he understands this will raise property taxes on businesses.
It's not surprising that Whitaker would want to relieve the cost of living for his former constituents in one of the most expensive places to reside in Alaska, but it is somewhat surprising that he doesn't understand that increased costs for business are either deducted from wages or passed on to consumers.
Lowering taxes for some won't lessen the overall need for revenue, and as Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan noted, raising the taxes on rental property owners is going to increase rents in a city that already has steep costs and a 2 percent vacancy rate.
The best way to lower the cost of living for Alaskans is to reduce energy costs, not through shifting tax burdens on to others.
Against Prop 2: This measure would reestablish a coastal zone management program, and it has drawn fierce opposition from the oil and gas industry, miners, labor unions and the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, among others.
Backers of the initiative have tried to cast this measure as a battle between Outside interests and Alaskans, but that's hard to square with the opposition coming from local labor unions who depend on both the resource development sector and the capital budget funded by royalties for high-paying jobs.
The Sea Party, which got the measure on the ballot, has also tried to portray the initiative as simply restoring coastal zone management that allowed for all the oil, gas and mining projects developments throughout the state over the past 30 years.
However, the 15-page initiative is far from equivalent to the previous program that lapsed on June 30, 2011, when the state Senate couldn't come up with a coastal management reauthorization and wouldn't even take a vote or offer amendments on a measure that passed the House by a 40-0 vote.
If the Sea Party had simply wanted to restore the previous program, the ballot measure would have been one sentence long instead of 15 pages. A measure to restore the program that expired would have been something we could support, but Prop 2 is a disaster in the making.
The legislature needs to come up with a coastal zone management program, that much is clear. While we appreciate the sentiment of citizens attempting to do the work the Senate failed to do, Prop 2 is not the solution.
For Liz Vazquez in District J: We'll save the rest of our candidate endorsements for the November election, but we didn't want to let the primary pass without showing some support for the candidacy of Liz Vazquez in Senate District J for West Anchorage.
Vazquez is facing Bob Bell in the Republican primary, with the winner to face incumbent Sen. Hollis French.
It's nothing against Bell — although we have no doubt the abrasive French would make an issue of Bell's connection to disgraced and convicted former Habitat Division head Cory Rossi over what the Alaska Dispatch reported was an attempt at an illegal musk ox hunt in Nome while Bell was a member of the state Board of Game.
No, we are for Vazquez because she is exactly the kind of person we always wish would get into politics but all too seldom do.
The daughter of Puerto Rican immigrants, not only was she the first in her family to graduate high school, she went on to earn a law degree and two master's degrees. (She's also likely the first Alaskan candidate to conduct a door-to-door campaign on a Segway.)
Vazquez is a former prosecutor, assistant state Attorney General, administrative law judge, and attorney for the U.S. Department of the Treasury. She'll hardly be a shrinking violet in a Senate currently distinguished by the go-along, get-along gang.
Unlike French, who seems to believe oil producers are the enemy, Vazquez sees them — correctly — as partners. If the citizens of West Anchorage want someone who can be both a productive legislator while not rolling over for the oil industry, we think they'd be wise to send Vazquez on from the Aug. 28 primary and defeat French in November.

Turning Clicks into Profit
Turning clicks into Profit is easier to achieve when you have access to the internet. I just redeemed some gift cards from an online company that I am a member of as a reward for doing the things that I normally do such as searching online, reading emails and etc. This type of things are the little stuff that I do on my free time, it's an extra shopping spree you can have during Christmas. I also redeemed the points I earned from another company and turn it into cash in my paypal account.

The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week
This week's coolest scientific discoveries go to the stars and back, as scientists study the long-term effects of space flight on the human brain. They also used precisely targeted electrical charges to help paraplegic patients walk again. Plus: The rise of the machines continues apace.
Do Space Travelers Suffer Brain Drain?
What is it? A new letter to the New England Journal of Medicine details changes in brain tissue observed in cosmonauts who spent a long time on the International Space Station, bolstering scientists' suspicions that "long-duration spaceflight has detrimental effects in several physiological systems."
Why does it matter? The impact of space flight on the body is a nascent field of study, but it's necessary to know more if we're someday going to set out for Mars or beyond. The understanding of any detrimental effects is the first step toward figuring out how to mitigate them.
How does it work? An international team of researchers studied MRI scans from 10 cosmonauts who'd each spent, on average, 189 days on the ISS; they imaged their brains preflight, after a short trip, and after a long stay, looking at gray matter, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF. They found that the gray matter of the cortex shrunk in places up to 3.3 percent, while CSF increased up to 12 percent. Follow-up imaging revealed that gray matter rebounded somewhat, though not all the way; and that CSF levels continued to increase, suggesting that the effects of microgravity continue after travelers have returned to Earth. The Smithsonian summed it up pithily: "Space brain is a real phenomenon."
What is it? Speaking of Mars, SpaceX's Starman and its Tesla Roadster have now crossed the red planet's orbit. "Next stop, the restaurant at the end of the universe," the rocket builder tweeted on Friday.
Why does it matter? Starman and its ride sailed to space in February atop SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket, "the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two, with the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 pounds) — a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel," according to the company. The only rocket more powerful was NASA's Saturn V used by the Apollo Program for manned moon landings.
How does it work? SpaceX said that "demonstration missions like this one typically carry steel or concrete blocks as mass simulators, but SpaceX decided it would be more worthwhile to launch something fun and without irreplaceable sentimental value: a red Roadster for the red planet. Following launch, Falcon Heavy's second stage will attempt to place the Roadster into a precessing Earth-Mars elliptical orbit around the sun." That plan seems to be working.
What is it? Just this past week alone in our ongoing documentation of the rise of the machines: Now we're seeing artificial intelligence used in lie detectors at border crossings and beating lawyers in their own game of analyzing legal documents. (AI is also learning language like children do.)
Why does it matter? Admittedly, the border-guard AI is problematic both in terms of methodology — it asks travelers questions and tries to determine the veracity of their answers by analyzing facial gestures, with a thus-far-shaky success rate — and politically, as some civil liberties groups have expressed concerns. But the lawyers vs. robots trick is pretty cool, and further opens the possibility that machines can be trained to do menial professional tasks, like data entry and analysis, freeing up the human professionals for more complex and interesting pursuits.
How does it work? In sort of an administrative version of Deep Blue vs. Garry Kasparov, a study by LawGeex set up a machine-learning AI against 20 lawyers, giving each side four hours to study nondisclosure agreements and suss out possible risks. As TechSpot reports, the lawyers took an average 92 minutes and scored a mean accuracy rate of 85 percent, while the bots achieved 94 percent accuracy — in 26 seconds. Sounds promising, but wait'll you hear what they bill.
Mobility Technology As Finely Tuned As A Swiss Watch
What is it? In Switzerland, a wireless implant that creates electric stimulation is helping patients with paraplegia walk again.
Why does it matter? The project, called Stimulation Movement Overground, or STIMO, was a collaboration between scientists at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne and the Lausanne University Hospital, and offers a promising avenue to recovery for patients who've incurred spinal cord injuries — the next step is making the tech available to hospitals and clinics everywhere to help with rehabilitation. The scientists behind it hope it can be used shortly after injury, before muscle atrophy occurs.
How does it work? The scientists intensively studied the electrical activity of the brain and spinal cord to determine where and how to precisely aim their electrical charges. As neurosurgeon Jocelyn Bloch explained, "The targeted stimulation must be as precise as a Swiss watch. In our method, we implant an array of electrodes over the spinal cord which allows us to target individual muscle groups in the legs. Selected configurations of electrodes are activating specific regions of the spinal cord, mimicking the signals that the brain would deliver to produce walking." In patients who tried the protocol, effects lasted even after the juice was turned off.
Hope For Burn Patients Comes From Lab-Grown Skin Grafts
What is it? A collaboration between Singapore-based Duke-NUS Medical School and Singapore General Hospital has yielded a way to culture human skin cells in a lab that could be used as safe, effective skin grafts.
Why does it matter? The development could improve options for patients suffering from severe burns and other skin defects. For decades, as Duke-NUS notes, the closest technology doctors have had access to are skin cells from a "combined human-animal culture system," which can sometimes lead to infection, or rejection by the human immune system. The FDA has approved them only for severe burns or in compassionate-use cases. Alvin Chua, the co-lead author of a study published in Nature Communications, said, "This new method provides a robust yet safer system for our burn patients."
How does it work? The cultured skin cells used for grafts are called keratinocytes, and the new method the Singapore team devised relies on a promising class of proteins called laminins, which "are used as a supportive cell culture matrix," according to Duke-NUS, "and have been found to support the growth of human keratinocytes in a similar way" as the human-animal method. "Laminins have been transforming cell biology and are known to maintain stem cells and tissues architecture and function in a way that mimics the situation in the human body," said the other lead author, Karl Tryggvason. "Our method of using biologically relevant laminins in their pure forms to develop a fully human cell culture system for growing skin keratinocytes in the laboratory is a first and is likely to translate into novel treatments for many different skin disorders and wounds."

Visits Iglesia itinerary?
I spotted this ad at a nearby SM mall listing churches that can be part of a Visita Iglesia itinerary in the Province of Rizal. I took the following photos showing the major churches in the province. These include old churches found in the older towns including those in Morong (ca. 1620), Taytay (ca. 1630), Pililla (ca. 1672), Baras (ca. 1686), San Mateo (ca. 1716), Tanay (ca. 1783), and Binangonan (ca. 1800). Antipolo has one old church – Boso Boso Church (ca. 1669). The Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage while being the more famous of the two was completed in 1954. The first church though was completed in 1632 but was destroyed several times due to unrest, earthquakes and the Second World War. Cainta also had an old church (ca. 1707) that was destroyed several times including during WW2, and the new church was completed in 1968.
We've visited many of these churches before but are no longer into the Visita Iglesia considering our experiences of traffic congestion the past years when this tradition became more of a tourist thing or gig. We'd rather go to a nearby church to pray or stay at home to enjoy the peace and quiet; not to mention the comforts of being at home.
PNR San Fernando, Pampanga
It's Araw ng Kalayaan (Independence Day) in the Philippines so I thought it was appropriate to feature something related to Philippine history and heritage. Railways in the Philippines played a part in its history being a mode of transport that connected the provinces of major islands like Luzon and Panay. The other railways were more for freight (e.g., agricultural goods) rather than for passengers so the railways in Luzon and Panay, especially the former, had more impact on socio-political events including the wars of independence from Spain and later, the United States. One station that probably figured in the actions during those times more than a 120 years ago is the PNR Station in San Fernando, Pampanga, which was along the main line north that was used by Philippine revolutionaries to transport troops and logistics.
Following are photos of the station, which has been converted into a museum. The proposed revival of this northern rail line will mean that a new station will have to be constructed but it would be good to integrate the old one with the new. Those responsible should work towards heritage preservation in this and other cases of railway stations.
Article on the need for 'Context Cities'
Here is another good article I've found and read recently:
Wolfe, C.R. (2017) "Forget 'Smart' – We Need 'Context Cities'". Planetizen.com. https://www.planetizen.com/features/96310-forget-smart-we-need-context-cities (Last accessed: 12/21/2017).
Much has been said, I believe, about smart cities. I, too, have attended and even spoke (about Intelligent Transport Systems) at conferences or fora that had 'smart cities' as the central theme. Most talk about how technology can be used to further development and to address various transport and traffic problems. A lot of people tend to be excited when technology gets into the mix of things and yet few seem to be interested in a city seeking its true identity. And so the concept of 'context cities' over 'smart cities' become important as we need to contextualise what a city should be before we conclude that a technology push is the way to leapfrog into advancement. Perhaps the soul can be found and reconciled with and this is done through the context and not tech, which cannot replace history, heritage and culture that are distinct attributes of each city.
Railway Heritage: the Old Meycauayan Station of the Main Line North
I accompanied a visiting professor from Tokyo last November as he went around to conduct interviews with local government officials and representativea of private firms. The interviews were part of the study we are doing together relating to the JICA Dream Plan, which now seems to be part of the basis for many of the projects included in the current administration's Build, Build, Build program.
After our appointment at Meycauayan City Hall (Bulacan), we proceeded to the old PNR station near MacArthur Highway at the old center of the town. Following are some photos I took around the station including those of the former station building.
There's a dirt road leading to the station building along the alignment of the railway tracks. The area is clear of any structures and this clearing began under the administration of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo with then Vice President Noli De Castro in-charge of clearing the PNR ROW.
It's quite obvious that the station building is in a very bad state. At some time there probably were informal settlers residing in the building. Such is common for many of the old, abandoned station buildings along both the PNR's north and south lines and their branches.
The first level is of red brick while the second level, which looks like it was added much later than the red brick structure, is of wood with Capiz windows.
There is a sign informing the public about the JICA-supported project to rehabilitate the north line between Manila and Clark. The politician pictured in the tarp is the Mayor of Meycauayan City.
A closer look at the building shows some items here and there indicating people are still using it for shelter if not still residing there. I assume the guards use the building for shelter.
Another close look at the building's red brick facade and the dilapidated 2nd floor and roof.
We learned from Meycauayan that there are plans for the station to become a museum. I agree with such plans as a modern station can be constructed for the revitalised line, and the building can be transformed into a museum not just for railways but for Meycauayan as well, which has a major part in Philippine history especially during the revolution for independence from Spain in the later 1800s. We look forward to the rehabilitation of the railway system to the north of Metro Manila and connecting not just to Clark but perhaps extending again all the way to Dagupan in Pangasinan if not until San Fernando, La Union when it was at the height of operations.
The Tagaytay transportation predicament
The title of this article is actually a bit tame and on the diplomatic side of trying to describe transportation and traffic in this city that was once relaxed a retreat for many. I had wanted to end February on a good note and so I decided to defer posting this until March.
We used to frequent Tagaytay and liked spending some rest and recreation time there to the tune of being there almost once a month at one time. Needless to say, at the time travel to Tagaytay from our home in Antipolo took us only about 2 to 2.5 hours excluding our usual stop at Paseo in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. We liked the city so much that we even considered making it a second home; even inquiring and looking at properties there.
Fast forward to the present and it has become an excruciating travel with the highways leading to the city already congested. It didn't help that when you got there, you also had to deal with serious traffic congestion. This started not a few years ago when the city approved developments by major players including Robinsons, SM and Ayala. The developments by SM and Ayala proved to be the backbreakers with Ayala coming up with the first mall in the city and SM operating an amusement park beside its prime acquisition that is the Taal Vista Hotel. Now, there is another mall under construction by Filinvest and right at the corner of the rotonda where the Aguinaldo Highway terminates.
Vehicles queue along the Tagaytay – Nasugbu Highway towards the Rotonda where Tagaytay traffic enforcers attempt to manage traffic but appear to create more congestion instead.
More on Tagaytay soon…
First call for papers for the TSSP 2017 conference
Revisiting Daang Bakal, Antipolo
In a recent trip to a school located near Daang Bakal, I took the opportunity to ask my passenger to take photos of what used to be a railway corridor connecting Manila with Antipolo.
