I decided that, on Good Friday, Die Walküre would come under the heading of "all the vain things that charm me most." So I went to church. The paradoxes and mysteries of this liturgical season have had a great deal of music dedicated to them, and so I also went down to Immanuel Lutheran for a concert featuring J.S. Bach and Buxtehude. (One of the most valuable things I learned living in Germany was vigilance in looking out for free and cheap concerts of Bach and/or Buxtehude.) In addition to the church's choir, this evening of Good Friday music featured the contributions of early music group ARTEK, whose midday, midweek, midtown concerts I have often enjoyed. And I had a beautiful evening. ARTEK were impressive as ever, and the choir sang with passion and sensitivity to the music.
For me, lover of both German baroque music, and the wonderful old German that goes with it, the selections were a treat. After "Halt, was du hast" by Johann Michael Bach came Buxtehude's "Jesu, meine Freude." My favorite movement of this is without a doubt the bass solo "Trotz dem alten Drachen." Obviously this is a great deal of fun to say, but it is also an inspiring text in a vigorous setting, here sung by Eric Edlund. ARTEK had a moment to shine with Johann Rosenmüller's "O Jesu süß." Buxtehude's beautiful "O clemens, o mitis" was given with a lovely interiority by Tiffany Rosenquist and members of ARTEK. The J.S. Bach "Jesu, meine Freude" (BWV 227, text here) was given last, wisely. See you on the other side of Easter, Gentle Readers.

Fantastic recording in the video, and I have the (probably wrong) impression they're all very young. Their voices sounds young.ReplyDelete
I only ever remember Buxtehude on high holidays. He must have done lots of secular music too.
@DTO The group is the European Chamber Soloists, of whom I know virtually nothing. Based on this, though, I'm quite impressed.ReplyDelete
Of Buxtehude I know far less than I should, but am acquainted with him chiefly from free Saturday evening organ concerts from my Marburg days, featuring toccatas, preludes, and fugues galore.

"Well Done" Ernest J. Lee feat. Donnie Tuck From Anthems from the Vault Vol. 1 www.ernestjleemusic.org By Bob Marovich Ernest J. Lee's "Well Done" drops a fetching quartet backbeat and a drive tempo behind the two words every Christian hopes to hear upon entering the Pearly Gates: well done.

Get it delivered to your kindle on 30th Movember 2015.
What's it about?
Seven decades after the pandemic that changed us forever, the population is still teetering on the brink of extinction. Most people are infertile, and male babies are rare. Adult males are generally impotent and lethargic, a consequence altered DNA.
Men and women live in entirely separate asexual communities.
Does the Matriarchal society work in the interests of all citizens?
A minority of people still crave physical, sexual pleasure. The West Beach fertility unit doubles as a brothel for deviants, women who desire men.
Alton and Paul are among the minority of men who are virile.
When Alton leaves his rural male community, he is shocked to discover he is expected to provide sexual services to wealthy women. He can't do it. He has someone special on his mind.
Alton feels more than brotherly love for his lifelong friend. After five months apart they will be reunited but does Paul feel the same?
Contains hot sexy men getting naked together.
All characters in the book are over 18, and the book contains adult content.
Arrival is approx 40,000 words.
The timeline overlaps with the book "Deviant" ASIN: B01666S2UQ and many of the characters appear in both books.
It is dystopian speculative fiction. M/M romance with a happy ending.
I love to write books in the speculative fiction genre. Asking What if thingere were just a little different. So in the Matriarchy & Corruption series I'm wondering
What if
- Women women who wanted sex with men had to visit a brothel and pay for it?
- What if sexuality was taboo, as if it were a primitive instinct?
- What if men were rare. Would society look after them as if they were special?
- If a matriarchal society replaced what we know what would happen?
- What would life be like many decades after a pandemic that wiped out most of the population (more than 99%)?
I love science fiction and related adventure stories, such as Star Wars and the Aliens and Riddick films. With these in mind, I am writing…
December will see the launch of "Slave Wars" (provisional date 11th Dec 2015). Alpha warrior heroes, nerdy scientists, sex crazy aliens. Everything I want to read in an M/M romance.

We've come down to the last question!
This question (from my recent Giveaway) comes from Sarah, of Phoenix, AZ.
I know many of us, especially working moms, or moms with young children are so busy and need snacks that we can take with us. We are usually rushing from one activity to another. The key is to find snacks, such as protein rich ones that will give us lasting energy, as opposed to quickly grabbing something like a candy bar that will just give us a sugar crash.
It's important to consume protein because it helps build our muscles and tissues. Also, it doesn't break down into fat like carbs do. Protein helps us feel full and gives us lasting energy. So the key is to find a protein rich snack that does NOT contain loads of sugar.
For example, there are many protein bars out there that may look healthy, but when you look at the label, it may contain up to 20 grams of sugar.
Here are some ideas:
1. Raw almonds
2. Almond butter on an apple
3. Almond butter on a celery stick
4. A hard boiled egg
5. Trail mix (mixed raw nuts, raisins and dried cranberries- with no added sugar)
6. Hummus dip (with carrots)
7. Goji berries (these are dried berries that contain protein)- you can find them at a health food store
8. Hemp seeds (mixed in a green smoothie)
9. Sunflower seeds
10. Greek yogurt (if you can handle dairy)
Or, if you have time, you can make something!

Governance & Risk Management , Privacy
Privacy: You Can't Ignore it Anymore
After years of debate, the EU's General Data Protection Regulation has finally passed. What impact - if any - will the GDPR have on business and future legislation in India?
It is said that privacy can be a true game changer for Indian enterprises in 2017. But to get there, privacy practitioners and leaders must help ensure discussion evolves into how privacy can help organizations drive business growth. It is critical to overcome a host of challenges and confusion prevailing among Indian enterprises about the stark differences between data privacy and security.
The session discusses:
- Is India ready for data privacy legislation, given the lack of regulatory enforcement mechanism?
- Privacy steps for CISOs and risks they need to address;
- How do we create visibility into the data to roll out a privacy program?

TOLEDO (AP) ? A woman who pleaded guilty with her husband in a plot to ship money to a Mideast terrorist group did it to make money and not for political purposes, a federal judge said after sentencing her to more than three years in prison Wednesday.
TOLEDO (AP) — A woman who pleaded guilty with her husband in a plot to ship money to a Mideast terrorist group did it to make money and not for political purposes, a federal judge said after sentencing her to more than three years in prison Wednesday.
Amera Akl told the judge that she knew up to $1 million would be going to Hezbollah, a Lebanese group the U.S. government lists as a terrorist organization.
But her attorney maintained that she took part because she was in financial trouble. "Her real goal was to keep some, as much of the money that she could," said attorney Sanford Schulman.
An FBI informant approached Akl with an offer to send money to Hezbollah and give her a share for helping transport it, federal prosecutors said. She then brought her husband into the plan and they both had a role in making arrangements, said Justin Herdman, an assistant U.S. attorney.
"She never resisted this proposal," Herdman said. "She never walked away."
Akl, 38, and her husband, Hor Akl, planned for a year how to send the money overseas, prosecutors said.
The informant provided the couple with $200,000 for the first shipment that was to be hidden in an SUV before they were arrested a year ago.
Mrs. Akl's role was vital, Herdman said, noting that she put on rubber gloves to handle the money and shopped for auto parts where they could hide the money. "She did it for greed," Herdman said.
Akl's attorney acknowledged she took the bait, but he insisted she was not a terrorist.
"She's an easy target," Schulman said. "She's not the Hezbollah you and I imagine."
The Akls, dual citizens of the United States and Lebanon, both pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. Hor Akl also pleaded guilty to money laundering, bankruptcy fraud and perjury charges.
Both agreed to a plea deal to avoid a possible 40-year sentence.
U.S. District Judge James Carr sentenced Amera Akl to three years and four months.
, six months short of the maximum.
The judge told Akl that the couple's three children now will go through school with classmates who will look at them differently and subject them to ridicule. "That's the real shame," he said, shaking his head.
The judge asked her several questions about whether she knew where the money was going and how much she intended to keep.
"We were going keep some of the money," she said.
Akl sat with her husband before the hearing. He leaned forward and looked down when the judge announced her sentence. A date has not been set for his sentencing. He faces up to seven years.
"Money is the lifeblood of terrorist organizations, and stopping the flow is a key component to choking off these organizations," said Steven Dettelbach, the U.S. attorney for the northern Ohio.

Popolare di Vicenza, Veneto Banca
Pin hopes on shareholders' settlement deal
PADUA, Italy, Jan 9 (Reuters) – Italian lenders Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca have unveiled a proposed settlement deal with disgruntled shareholders that could cost the two banks more than 600 million euros ($634 million), adding to capital pressures that may push them to request state aid.
The two banks are seen as the next trouble spot in Italy's slow-burning banking crisis after the government stepped in at the end of 2016 to bail out the country's third-biggest lender Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena BMPS.MI.
Popolare di Vicenza's newly appointed chief executive Fabrizio Viola, who was brought in from Monte dei Paschi to oversee a merger with Veneto Banca, did not rule out the two lenders needing to tap into a new 20 billion-euro fund which Italy set up at the end of last month to help Monte dei Paschi and other struggling banks.
"Let me first assess how much money we need and then we'll see how to go about raising it," he told a news conference on Monday.
Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca, both among Italy's 10 biggest banks, were rescued earlier last year by state-sponsored, privately-funded bank rescue fund Atlante after failing to find buyers for share issues totalling 2.5 billion euros to keep them afloat.
The rescue all but wiped out the savings of over 200,000 small shareholders, burning through at least 5 billion euros in financial wealth in the northeastern Veneto region, according to local business association Unioncamere Veneto.
The two banks now propose repaying 169,000 shareholders, who bought stock in the last 10 years, around 15 percent of investment losses if they agree not to pursue legal action.
"The settlement proposal aims to make the bank more attractive for potential investors," said Popolare di Vicenza's chairman, Gianni Mion.
"The bank will need more capital and it's unthinkable for investors to put money in a lender weighed down by the uncertainty stemming from pending lawsuits."
In addition to funds needed to finance the settlement deal, Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca are set to book fresh loan losses in the fourth quarter as they prepare to sell off around 8 billion euros of bad debts as requested by the ECB.
The two lenders are estimated to need as much as 2.5 billion euros in capital due to loan writedowns.
Atlante, which was set up with contributions from Italy's leading financial institutions to prop up struggling banks and prevent a wider crisis, said in December it was pumping another 938 million euros in capital into the two banks.
The banks said they would settle separately on a case-by-case basis disputes with shareholders who were lent money to buy the banks' own shares or had unsuccessfully tried to sell their holdings.
The banks said they faced around 16,500 claims from customers. Shareholders who have already turned to the court are not included in the settlement proposal.
"We want to know the truth over what happened and who is guilty for it," said Sergio Calvetti, a lawyer representing around 4,000 shareholders in the two banks.

Incorporating physical activity can help kids learn in school, according to Beilock:
"We can't just keep students confined to their chairs — we have to get them up, out and moving. When the subjects are math or physics, getting students to actually physically experience some of the concepts they're learning about changes how their brains process the information and can lead to better performance on a test."
Movement also helps explain the connection between music and math. Why do kids tend to excel in both? It's because the brain areas controlling finger dexterity and number largely overlap. In the book, Beilock unpacks the latest research showing that when kids exercise their fingers through regular piano play, their grasp of numbers improves.
Exercise can aid mental health as well as academic achievement, according to Beilock.
"The research shows that getting kids moving is important not only for their physical well-being but for their mental well-being, too."
Boys' academic achievement may especially benefit from recess, Beilock believes.
Exercise is not just for kids
Beilock believes that exercise is equally important for older adults, as it can promote healthy ageing mentally and physically.
"There are clear differences in brain health in fit, older adults compared with their more sedentary counterparts. And these differences carry consequences for thinking and reasoning as well as for memory."
Beilock stresses that aerobic exercise, which can alter the structure and functioning of the brain, is key for improving mental health. Activities like swimming, running, cycling, walking briskly or even doing household chores at a vigorous pace can benefit the brain, in addition to keeping the body fit.
How the Body Knows Its Mind provides many tips on how to use one's body, actions or surroundings to stimulate the mind and to influence those around you.
Sian Beilock is a professor in the Department of Psychology at The University of Chicago

The Granville Summer Concert series stretches into September in 2011 with the final show, The Woods Tea Company, rescheduled to tonight. The eclectic Vermont-based band has closed out the series for three years and will return to do so after a week's weather delay.
Concert organizers Rick Roberts and Denise Davies, village clerk treasurer and assistant, said the series continues to see good support from the community and surrounding area as turnouts each week climb into the hundreds.
Despite a tough economy or perhaps because of it, the series continues to see support of all kinds, Roberts said including financial support.
"People are supporting it to the same degree, if not greater, and we're getting a lot of positive feedback," Roberts said.
Just one of the ways to gauge how the series is doing, the size of the 50-50 drawing prize each Thursday, shows the people are spending similar amounts to last year.
Funds raised from the 50-50 in the park go into a fund to pay for improvements to Veterans Park including new railings installed around the bandstand two years ago.
Roberts said the elements have been kind to the series up until this week, with only Grand Central Station having some rain fall on the second half of their June 9 show. "Overall it was a pretty good weather year, there were some days we had to watch but some days were really, really nice," Roberts said. "I'd say we can count ourselves as lucky."
Woods Tea Co. is the first reschedule of the season. "We're grateful we got the weather we did," he said.
Planning for the series, which now runs from June until the end of August, has already started, Roberts said.
Not wanting the series to become stale or flat, the organizers have tried to shuffle some wild cards into the deck including the Celtic rock band Prydien who played June 30. Roberts said opinions on the band broke two ways, with few, if any in the middle ground, but it was a change worth attempting.
New music acts are continually being evaluated at the village hall. At times organizers can check out demos and other times, now more than ever go to a band's website and hear what they have to offer making signing a band less risky.
Roberts said since the series started under the Tom Scott administration, the concert series has grown and it known outside of Granville within band's circles.
Often bands seek out the series organizers because they've heard about Granville and want to come play here, Roberts said.
"I think it's indicative you have a good venue and the series is healthy," he said. The little concert series has certainly grown over the years. "When it was started I recall Tom saying it would be something like seven concerts, now it goes on for almost three months and clearly has gotten better through time," Roberts said. "I think it's become something that the community looks forward to. When you come to a concert in the park you see people of lots of different ages, people from other places and I think that's a good thing."

A year-old story about a programming language that fell out of favor 12 years ago takes the Web by storm
Imagine our surprise last week when visitors requested more than 13,000 page views of a story that has been in GCN.com's archives for more than a year. Its headline, appropriately enough, was "The return of Ada."
As you might remember — or not — Ada was once the official language of choice at the Defense Department. Under a 1987 policy, developers working on mission-critical systems had to apply for a waiver to code in C, C++, Java or other mainstream languages.
It was a sore point for some developers, who complained that Ada was difficult to use and lacked widespread commercial support. But DOD officials argued that Ada produced programs that were secure and reliable. As an added bonus, it's relatively easy to take code written for one program and reuse it in another, thereby lowering development costs.
But that era ended with an April 29, 1997, memo from Lt. Gen. Emmett Paige, then assistant secretary of Defense for command, control, communications and intelligence. "Ada should be one of the languages considered in [the programming] decision process; however, Ada waiver requests are no longer required when another language is selected," Paige wrote.
Twelve years later, it seemed unlikely that an Ada story would garner thousands of hits in just a few days — especially a story that's been online since April 2008.
Talk about a time warp. Consider this: In 1996, the last full year of Ada's reign, one of the big news stories was the arrest of the Unabomber, the top-grossing movie was "Independence Day" and the top-selling pop album was "Jagged Little Pill," by Alanis Morissette. No one talks about Ted Kaczynski anymore, Will Smith has gone on to appear in 16 more movies, and Morissette has recorded a second version of "Jagged Little Pill," this one acoustic.
Here's what happened. In the story, Senior Writer Joab Jackson explains that some programmers still swear by Ada's ability to produce reliable, secure programs, just as DOD officials claimed a dozen years ago.
"Ada never vanished completely," Jackson wrote. "In fact, in certain communities — notably aviation software — it has remained the programming language of choice."
Evidently, someone who missed the story last year stumbled across it a week or so ago and posted a link to it in the programming forum at Reddit, a content-sharing Web site. Since then, the story has generated more than a hundred comments on Reddit and steered thousands of readers to GCN.com.
It would seem that Reddit readers welcomed the opportunity to debate the virtues of Ada again.
One person suggested that the best programmers tend to choose Ada. "Most of the above-average programmers that I have known are usually interested in getting their job done with a minimum of effort and error," ldrews wrote.
That observation didn't sit well with fierarul, who said most programmers get special training to work with Ada because it is so difficult, which helps them become better programmers. In contrast, most developers learn mainstream languages on their own, sometimes to their detriment.
"If I were to pour the same amount of time and money into code training, the language difference would diminish by a lot," fierarul said.
But all that is just a passing bother from the perspective of Cobol programmers.
The Common Business-Oriented Language, as it is formally known, marks its 50th anniversary this year, and despite the language being written off well before Morissette recorded her first version of "Jagged Little Pill," Cobol programmers are still in demand at federal agencies.
"Many agencies do want to get off Cobol and build modern systems that will last the next 30 years," Brian Robinson reports in this week's issue of Federal Computer Week. "But those Cobol systems handle such a huge part of the transactional load that they are not easy to change out when so much vital traffic passes through them each day."
The story, which begins on Page 30, is best read by the light of a lava lamp.

Ha Ji Won has acted with a long list of k-drama's most attractive male stars. And now the 36-year-old actress may add Rain to the list. Both actors are considering leading roles in the SBS drama "The Time I Loved You, 7000 Days."
Like Us on Facebook
Many actors have expressed an interest in working with Ha Ji Won. She is known to be very supportive of her co-stars and a good team player on set. A few actors have even described her as their ideal type.
When he was only 19 Jang Geun Suk acted with Ha Ji Won in "Hwang Jini" and admitted that he had a crush on her. She was romanced by Jo In Sung and So Ji Sub in "What Happened in Bali" She swapped bodies with Hyun Bin's character in "Secret Garden" and got Ji Chang Wook's Emperor Tae Hwan to make her his consort in "Empress Ki."
In an interview with Singapore's media outlet Today, the actress spoke about the fact that she has acted with so many handsome men.
"To be honest, when I was young, I didn't know that the actors I was working with were good looking until a lot of people around me told me that I was really lucky to be working with a lot of handsome actors," she said. "But now I definitely know my onscreen partners are good looking."
If singer-actor Rain does decide to take the role, it won't be the first time that the two acted together. They appeared in a 2008 music video "Love Story."
"The Time I Loved You, 7,000 Days" is based on a popular Taiwanese drama "In Time With You." It's about the places where love and friendship overlap and can hamper each other.
In the drama, Rain plays a man who is popular with women but can't find the right woman to fall in love with. Ha Ji Won plays his best friend. She's the real reason he can't find love but neither of them can admit as much.
Ha Ji Won was last seen in the successful 51-episode historical drama "Empress Ki" with Ji Chang Wook and Jo Jin Moo. Her last films were "Chronicle of a Blood Merchant" and "The Huntresses."
Rain has appeared in one k-drama since finishing his mandatory military duty. He played an entertainment company CEO in "My Lovely Girl." In that drama his co-star was f(x) member Krystal Jung. he did take a role in the Chinese drama "Diamond Lover."
Rain was also considering a role in the Hong Sisters drama now titled "Warm and Cozy," which would mean possibly co-starring with Kang So Ra. Lee Jin Wook was also rumored to be up a role in "The Time I Loved You, 7,000 Days," possibly the second lead.
What do you think of the Ha Ji Won and Rain pairing?

Scams & Fraud
You can stay one step ahead of misinformation if you know the three most helpful questions to ask yourself while surfing the web. This free webinar will equip you with helpful tools and resources like the AARP Fact Tracker, which has been designed to help you distinguish fact from fiction online.
Scammers are using heightened fear and anxiety due to the coronavirus and the recent social unrest to target unsuspecting individuals—stealing money or sensitive personal information. You can protect yourself and your loved ones if you know what scams you should be aware of.
You never know when you could find yourself in charge of a loved one's care. From a catastrophic injury to a sudden decline in health, their life changes can dramatically alter yours too.
You've earned a right to Social Security benefits, but have you ever wondered how it all works? Join our free webinar where we'll explore these questions to help you get more out of Social Security.
Sign up for this webinar to learn what kinds of census scams are out there and how to report them.
One of the most common scams is government impostors, where you may get a phone call, an email, or a visit to your home from someone claiming to be from the Social Security Administration, the Internal Revenue Service or some other government agency. In fact, the Federal Trade Commission recently reported victims lost nearly $153 million to government impostor scams in 2019 – a staggering amount.
They pretend to be IRS agents or Census officials, someone on a dating site or even your grandchild telling you they're in trouble. They're impostor scammers—and they're after YOUR money and YOUR personal information.
The biggest shopping season of the year is, unfortunately, also the biggest scamming season. Criminals are out in force during the holidays trying to steal your money and personal information. Learn about ways to help protect you and your loved ones.

Thanks for your support over the years. My success was only possible because of you!

The City of Los Angeles is leading one of the most exciting and potentially disruptive SaaS deployments within government. In choosing Google's enterprise solution, CTO Randi Levin is embracing the next-generation of IT services. Tim O'Reilly will dive in with Randi and the President of Google Enterprse, Dave Girouard on how the cloud is enabling cost-savings and a more efficient workplace-helping LA navigate the challenges of a 21st century government.
Tim has a history of convening conversations that reshape the industry. In 1998, he organized the meeting where the term "open source software" was agreed on, and helped the business world understand its importance. In 2004, with the Web 2.0 Summit, he defined how "Web 2.0" represented not only the resurgence of the web after the dot com bust, but a new model for the computer industry, based on big data, collective intelligence, and the internet as a platform. In 2009, with his "Gov 2.0 Summit," he framed a conversation about the modernization of government technology that has shaped policy and spawned initiatives at the Federal, State, and local level, and around the world. He has now turned his attention to implications of the on-demand economy and other technologies that are transforming the nature of work and the future shape of the business world. He is the founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media and a partner at O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures (OATV). He is also a founder and board member at Maker Media, which spun out of O'Reilly Media in 2012, and a board member at Code for America, PeerJ, Civis Analytics, and PopVox.
Dave Girouard manages Google's growing enterprise business worldwide. He leads a team responsible for sales, marketing, product development and customer support. Prior to joining Google, Dave was senior vice president of marketing and business development at Virage, a provider of multimedia search and content management software. Dave also founded and developed Virage's application services business. He came to Virage from the worldwide product marketing organization at Apple, where he spent several years in product management. Prior to that, Dave was an associate in Booz Allen & Hamilton's Information Technology practice in San Francisco. He started his career in enterprise systems development and integration in the Boston office of Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting).
Dave graduated from Dartmouth College with an AB in Engineering Sciences and a BE in Computer Engineering. He also received an MBA from the University of Michigan with High Distinction.
Randi Levin is a proven leader and manager, with a track record for executing mission-critical corporate information technology projects. Randi believes that the City of Los Angeles should be on the forefront of using smart technology to make government more efficient, accessible and customer-friendly.
Levin has 20 years of experience managing information technology departments for leading Fortune 500 companies in Southern California. For the last eight years, she has served as a Vice President for NBC Universal. In that capacity she was responsible for implementing and managing the company intranet, managing a Sarbanes-Oxley program for proper corporate accountability, and creating several new IT programs that improved the entertainment company's efficiency.
Prior to NBC Universal, Levin worked as a corporate executive as well as an information technology consultant and has invaluable experience in project management, system development, strategic IT planning and business process re-engineering. Her previous experience includes work at the Walt Disney Company, L.A. Gear, Inc., Price Waterhouse, Goldman Sachs & Co., Korn/Ferry International, and Hughes Helicopters, Inc. While at Hughes she was able to program technology for the Apache helicopter used in Operation Desert Storm.

Murky Gameplay Video – Heroes of the Storm
"You have killed me a hundred times, but it was merely a setback. What matters is that in the end I stood triumphant over your crumbling shrine, wearing a smirk." — Murky. After a long hiatus uploading over 100 Warlords of Draenor quest videos, and with Alpha being down 5 days in a row — I returned to Heroes of the Storm technical alpha, and boy — did I miss that game.
So far playing as Murky has yielded a few win streaks. Doesn't matter how many times I get killed, I keep coming back and laying waste to the enemy's towers and buildings. If people don't watch their base to catch me, it's a bad thing. I patiently stand there poking at their towers thinking: "No one shall stop me from my goal." Check out this video.

Branding / Web Design / Collateral
The Challenge
Based right outside of San Francisco, CA, Bay Vein Associates, a new vein treatment center came to us in requirement of a new brand, web design, and a range of print collateral. Often vein centers will focus on the cosmetic end of treatment, but Bay Vein stated upfront that their business was built around improving the quality of life in their patients, primarily treating Chronic Vein Insufficiency (CVI). They envisioned a brand that was minimalist, inviting, and professional with imagery that represented their target client base.
The Solution
We developed a series of marks and accompanying tag lines to kick off the project. But in conversation and really understanding the focus of Bay Vein it became clear that the tagline "Improving your quality of life" was the accurate choice for our client. We then created a series of marketing materials that were definite extensions of the brand. The website being the focal point of the marketing efforts was built on a responsive framework with interactive elements such as the "Self-Assessment", a lead capture form that provides our client with a basic understanding of the prospective patients' vein conditions along with their contact information, making the process of lead to sales effortless.

I am sooo impressed. Jennifer is healthy and together and not in any way a "fad" dieter, but simply made a mental change, a decision to be healthier.
Check this out!
Hudson used the birth of her son as motivation to change her life, to commit to making better, healthier choices. She never divulges how many pounds she lost or what she weighs but acknowledges even family members who haven't seen her for a while don't recognize her! She is so glam, healthy, strong, gorgeous.
Love this interview! She says, "I decided to CHALLENGE MYSELF...to this new healthy lifestyle." But she is quick to add: "I never had a problem with how I was before. I want to make the healthier choices...be more conscious of what I'm taking in, what I'm doing."
When pressed, she doesn't talk about her go-to foods or strategies but tells us it's a mind-set, and outlook, an approach. She says: "I just get up and walk. Do something. Something is better than nothing."
Later she says it's a process: "I'm educating myself on how I can do this. And it's natural. Make smarter choices...it's actually more convenient for me."
Love it. Go, Jennifer. So true, so SELFy.

UPDATE: Marc Bellemare pointed out some issues with this post, which I have addressed here. These issues, though, strengthen the argument about strategic deglobalization . . .
There have been an interesting series of blog posts going around about the issue of price speculation in food markets, and the impact of that speculation on food security and people's welfare. Going back through some of these exchanges, it seems to me that a number of folks are arguing past one another.
The most recent discussion was spurred by a post on the Guardian's Global Development blog by John Vidal that took on the issue of speculation in food markets. In the post, Vidal argues that food speculation is a key driver of price instability on global food markets, which results in serious impacts for the poorest people in the world – a sort of famine profiteering, as it were.
The weakness of this post, as I see it, are twofold. First, it doesn't take the issue of price arbitrage seriously – that is, how speculation is supposed to function. Aid Thoughts, via one of the comments on Vidal's post, takes Vidal to task for this. As Aid Thoughts/the commenter point out, the idea behind speculation is to pull future price impacts of shortage into the present, stimulating responses to future shortages before they occur. Thus, a blanket condemnation of speculation makes very little sense from the perspective of one who wants to see food security enhanced around the world – without speculation, there will be no market signal for future shortage, creating a world that addresses shortages in a reactive instead of proactive manner. This is a completely fair critique of Vidal, I think.
However, neither Vidal nor those responding to him actually address the evidence for significant market manipulation, and the intentional generation of instability for the purposes of profiteering. This evidence first emerged in a somewhat anecdotal manner in Fredrick Kaufman's "The Food Bubble: How Wall Street starved millions and got away with it." In this article, Kaufman uses a fairly limited number of informants to lay out a case for the intentional manipulation of wheat markets in 2008. It is an interesting read, though I argued in an earlier post that it suffers from trying to be a parable for the pervasive presence of complex investment vehicles in the modern world. And in the end, its findings can hardly be called robust.
Though Kaufman's argument might, by itself, be less than robust, it received a serious empirical boost from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in the fall of 2010. In a discussion paper that remains underreported and under-considered in food security circles (trust me, it is difficult to get anyone to even talk about speculation in program settings), Bryce Cooke and Miguel Robles demonstrate quantitatively that the dramatic price rises for food in 2008 is best explained by various proxies for speculation and activity on futures markets. Now, we can argue about how large an impact that activity had on actual prices, but it seems to me that Cooke and Robles, when taken in concert with the Kaufman piece, have demonstrated that the speculation we see in the markets right now is not merely a normal market response to potential future shortage – indeed, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has been arguing for months that there are no likely supply issues that should be triggering the price increases we see. In other words, while it is foolish to simply blame price arbitrage for food insecurity, it is equally blind to assume that all of those practicing such arbitrage are doing so in the manner prescribed in the textbooks. Someone will always try to game the system, and in tightly connected markets, a few efforts to game a market can have radiating impacts that draw in honest arbitrage efforts. There is need for regulatory oversight. But regulation will not solve all our food problems.
But this all leaves one last question unanswered: what is the impact of price instability, whether caused by actual likely future shortages or by efforts to game markets for short-term profits, on the welfare of the poor? Vidal, Kaufman and many others assume that the impacts are severe. Well, maybe. You see, where matters (again – yep, I'm a geographer). In a very interesting paper, Marc Bellemare (along with Chris Barrett and David Just) demonstrates that, at least in Ethiopia:
contrary to conventional wisdom, the welfare gains from eliminating price volatility would be concentrated in the upper 40 percent of the income distribution, making food price stabilization a distributionally regressive policy in this context.
This finding may be a shock to those working in aid at first glance, but this finding is actually intuitive. In fact, in my book (out tomorrow!) I lay out a qualitative picture of livelihoods in rural Ghana that aligns perfectly with this finding. In Bellemare et al, I would bet my house that the upper 40% of the population is that segment of the population living in urban areas and/or wealthy enough to be purchasing large amounts of processed food. Why does this matter? This is the segment of the population that typically has the most limited options when food prices begin to get unstable. On the other hand, the bottom 60% of the population, especially those in this cohort living in rural areas (it is unclear from the study how much of an overlap between poor and rural there is in the sample, but I am betting it is pretty high), has a much more limited engagement with global food markets. As a result, when food prices begin to spike, they have the ability to effect a temporary partial, or even complete, disengagement from the global market. In other words, much as I saw in Ghana, this study seems to suggest that temporary deglobalization is a coping strategy that at least some people in Ethiopia use to guard against the vagaries of markets. Ironically, those best positioned to effect such a strategy are the poorest, and therefore they are better able to manage the impact of price instability on food markets.
In short, I would argue that Marc's (and his co-authors') work is a quantitative empirical demonstration of one of my core arguments in Delivering Development:
2. At globalization's shoreline the experience of "development" is often negative. The integration of local economies, politics, and society into global networks is not the unmitigated boon to human well- being presented by many authors. Those living along the shores of globalization deal with significant challenges in their lives, such as degrading environments, social inequality that limits opportunity for significant portions of society, and inadequate medical care. The integration of these places into a global economy does not necessarily solve these problems. In the best cases such integration provides new sources of income that might be used to address some of these challenges. In nearly all cases, however, such integration also brings new challenges and uncertainties that come at a cost to people's incomes and well- being. (pp.14-15)
I'm not suggesting Marc endorses this claim – hell, for all I know he'll start throwing things when he sees it. But there is an interesting convergence happening here. I'm glad I met Marc at a tweet-up in DC a few weeks ago. We're going to have to talk some more . . . I see the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
In summary, while efforts to game global food markets do exist, and have very serious impacts on at least some people, they do not crush everyone in the Global South. Instead, this instability will be most felt by those in urban areas – in the form of a disaffected middle and upper class, and a large cohort of the urban poor who, lacking alternative food sources, might be pushed over the brink by price increases. The policy implications are clear:
- We need to be watching the impact of price increases on urban food insecurity more than rural insecurity
- Demanding that rural producers orient themselves toward greater and greater integration with global markets in the absence of robust fallback measures (such as established, transparent microinsurance and microsavings initiatives) will likely extend the impact of future price instability further into the poorest populations.
- We need to better understand the scope of artificially-generated instability and uncertainty in global food markets, and establish means of identifying and regulating this activity without closing price arbitrage down entirely.

I tried to be very selective and took very few pictures and here are most of them.All from the Leica X1.
Ellenborough Falls on the Bulga Plateau inland from Wauchope is the longest single drop waterfall in the southern hemisphere.Access is only via quite a few kms of rough dirt road so it is not exactly Niagara Falls in terms of visitor numbers-and all the better for it.We were the only visitors at the time we visited last Friday.As it had not seriously rained for many weeks the volume of water was pretty modest but them's the breaks. Sometimes a wider angle lens would be useful.

Ice-cream typically slows us down, it doesn't speed us up. Actually, that's an over-simplification. It usually speeds us up for a brief minute while our body processes the sugar until the combination of shame, sickness and sugar-dependence kicks in and then we're lower than when we started.
The philosophy behind health food is to give us modified versions of the food we love that both fulfils our cravings and improves our internal well-being. While no gluten-free take on food gives the same warm, shameful feelings as the genuine article, the food is generally getting better.
So much better, in fact, that health food is actually increasing our lifespan instead of just reversing the damage!
Professor Valerio Sanguigni has developed an ice-cream recipe which has antioxidant properties, reports The Independent.
The recipe itself is pretty secret (can you blame him?) but we do know that it contains dark cocoa powder, green tea extracts and hazelnut. This is where all the antioxidant goodness is coming from!
But unlike your standard frozen cream, this one gets human testing to see if it improves the physical limits of students.
Participants tests taken before and after sampling the ice-cream and then asked to pedal like the dickens on exercise bikes. A standard chocolate ice-cream was used as a placebo on some participants – sounds like a win-win either way.
Latest Stories
The tests found that vascular function was improved in those that got to try the new product. The low temperatures of ice-cream maintain the high levels of antioxidants which contributes to vascular function and physical performance.
The professor added: "who says health foods have to taste bad?"
Do you know what this means for the lazy community? You can literally have your cake and eat it. You can compliment your workout with ice-cream to prepare beforehand and ice-cream to reward yourself afterwards!

Grilled Baba Ghanoush
Grilled Baba Ghanoush
One thing I look forward to every year is eggplant coming into season. Over the years I have discovered lots of great ways of using it, but this has to be one of my favorites. I love the smoky flavor that the grill gives the eggplant, plus no need to turn the oven on! My hints for this recipe would be be 1) use larger eggplant (less hot eggplant to have to scoop out,) and 2) scoop the pulp into a colander set over a bowl and drain it for about 15 minutes, then put the pulp in the food processor. Once you have added everything and mixed it up, if you think it needs to be looser add some of the drained liquid in, if not discard it. All you need now is some pita or a baguette and you are ready to get your mezze on.
- 1 3/4pounds eggplant
- 1-2small cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 2tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- Drizzle of olive oil
- 46″ pita breads, toasted & cut into triangles
- Heat a grill on high. Brush the grates lightly with oil, to prevent sticking. Pierce the eggplants with a fork & place directly onto the grill grates. Let them cook, turning occasionally, until completely blackened & the inside is very soft {about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the eggplants you are using}.
- Remove from the grill & set aside to cool completely. When cooled, cut a slit down the side of each eggplant & scrape the flesh out into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a couple of times.
- Using a mortar & pestle, crush the garlic & salt together to form a paste. Add the lemon juice & tahini & mash it in with the paste.
- Add the mixture into the food processor with the eggplant & pulse a couple more times, or until blended. If possible, let the baba ghanoush sit for a few hours, before serving. This gives all the flavors a chance to intensify. Garnish with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil & a sprinkle of minced parsley. Serve with some toasted pita bread triangles.
This is a recipe I came up with to use up a large harvest of very baby eggplants. They were too small to bother with charring over a flame…so, I thought, why not just grill them? If you don't have a grill, this recipe can be prepared using a broiler, or by charring the eggplants directly over the flame on a gas range. If your eggplants are large, they should be broiled until blackened & then finished in a 400 degree oven, until collapsed & completely softened. I used very small, baby eggplants. So, I cooked mine completely on the grill.
I used 2 small cloves of garlic. But, the heat from the garlic will intensify greatly as it sits. Use as little, or as much, as you desire.

Fire and a Fish!
Mark's brother Matt planned this whole trip. Matt is a hunter/ fisher/ camper. Although Mark and I go camping more often than Matt does, he is a more hard-core man-of-the-land type camper. But I outsmarted him in fire making. …Well actually I cheated.
Mark and Matt had just finished pitching the tents and were starting on making a fire. Mark and I brought with us a brand new piece of flint so we could make fire, Survivor style. Matt gathered kindling and sticks that he hoped would be ignited with a strike of the flint.
Matt couldn't get the fire started, so he went off into the woods to look for some dryer kindling. I looked at the flint and the packaging it came in and thought I would give it a try. I tore up the cardboard and scraped a knife across the flint. The fire started in three strokes.
Okay. So my method would never work on Survivor. And I still don't know if I could actually start a fire if I was on a deserted island all by myself. But I know that could, theoretically.
Matt had friends who lived in the area and we were able to borrow a canoe from them. We rowed down a little river that emptied into Lake Michigan. While Mark and I got into a good rowing rhythm, Matt cast his line. Not long afterward he caught a fish.
Happy with his fish, he offered to lend Mark and me his rod. I took him up on his offer first. I tortured a little worm with the hook and tossed the line into the water. I was more concerned with not getting the line caught on anything than with getting a fish.
When I felt a slight tug on the line I assumed that the line was snagged on some drift wood. But as I pulled in the line, I noticed that the "drift wood" was wiggling. Matt helped me to reel in the fish. Then he showed me how to fillet and cook it.
One of the things that I've always wanted to do was to go to a drive in movie theater. But, they have mostly died out in the US. The Cherry Bowl Drive-in had a very nostalgic feeling to it.
Wikipedia used to have a list of the ones that are still in operation around the world, but that died too.
We played putt-putt before watching The Karate Kid. It was a double feature with Iron Man 2, but I fell asleep in the car before the second movie even started.
I really enjoyed the experience. I just hope that there are still drive in Theaters in the states when ever I decide to move back home. I would go just about every weekend!
The Dunes
On our last day we stopped by the Sleeping Bear Dunes before heading back to Flint. Matt drove us to the highest dune and challenged us to walk down.
I was a bit apprehensive. There was a group of college kids struggling at the bottom. After five minutes of climbing, they didn't look like they made any progress. But then I thought, "We came a long way, so we might as well."
Going down the dune was quite easy. You almost slide down with the occasional step. As we passed the college kids still close to the bottom, they warned us that we would regret coming down. Their eyes were dead with exhaustion.
The water was really cold, yet clear. But no matter how beautiful the water appeared, the thought of climbing back up the dune made me fear my future. We were lucky that Matt made sure that we all brought water down with us. I had to take many breaks up the sand hill. For every step I took I would slide backwards half a step. No exaggeration here! I was dead tired by the time we made it back to the top of the dune.
That sign is not a lie.
How to get there:
You can enter my country by land, air, or sea. But I think flight would be your transportation method of choice.
I have no clue how to get a visa to the US or who needs one. Just assume that you need one if you are not American or Canadian and check with your local US embassy.

We're evenly split on the design of the Aston Martin DP-100. The profile is slick, the back end is butch, and then you get to the front.
It's a mess of angles punctuated by those awkward, NACA duct style headlights and an Aston schnoz that looks like an afterthought.
But seeing the twin-turbo'd V12 beast run up the virtual hill of Goodwood and around Laguna Seca in Gran Turismo 6, the design starts to coalesce at speed. It's still not pretty, but it's purposeful, and while that's antithetical to modern Astons, it's something we could use more of.
