A rather mellow, atypical album from Gonzagão here. It's a pleasant listen with some very melodic tunes on it, but it's also a confused mess of a record when you stop to really look at it. It definitely suffers from the relative absence of his most renowned songwriting partner from the period, Humberto Teixeira, who only contributes two songs here that are also arguably the best ones. (Strangely, he was corralled into writing the liner notes, but more about that later). What immediately makes this record stand out is that Luiz Gonzaga's son, Gonzaguinha, wrote a bunch of the songs here. Part of the student protest-song movement, Gonzaguinha would go on to become a respected MPB star in the seventies while still retaining his 'engaged' stance, putting out some real solid records as well as a few clunkers like everyone else. But however poetic the lyrics might be here, the famously dour, humorless flavor of 1960s protest music just doesn't sound natural coming from the ebullient and emotive elder Gonzaga. Hearing him sing lines like "It's always the same hunger / that drives me to despair. / It's always the same hand / that lives to exploit me," is really awkward. This song, "Pobreza por pobreza", was rerecorded by Gonzaguinha the following year for the theater group Arena, for which it seems more fitted. This sort of didactic, literal approach to a socially-engaged song-craft is in many ways the best argument for why a song like "Asa Branca," with its flowing, evocative, and multivalent imagery of drought, migration and redemption – is a tremendously more powerful statement than anything the self-defined protest singers could dream up. In fairness to historical accuracy, it should be noted that Father and Son stood at different points of the political spectrum and, in a common effect of the generation gap of the time, this finds Gonzagão occasionally defending the military takeover of the country while his son was of course outspokenly against it.
I've included samples of both the Gonzaguinha and Gonzagão versions of this song by way of illustration, reversed chronologically so you can it hear performed by the songwriter first.
Gonzagão's version is noticeably less stiff and more agreeable to the ear. Gonzaguinha finally did find the right tempo and approach to make the song work better several years later, in 1972 (you can check it out here).
Two of Gonzaga Jr.'s contributions to Canaã feature the rhythms of maracatu nação, the afro-Brazilian tradition tied to the xangô temples of this region, similar to but distinct from Bahian candomblé, and something that was (and still is) celebrated as an emblem of cultural resistance by the artistic and intellectual elites. Introducing this rhythm into the godfather of the baião's repertoire is an interesting thing to hear, but it comes off a bit quaint, and in the end I'd rather hear him play a good xôte or arrasta-pé. The sound of nação maracatu has been drawn on by a variety of artists making records for the commercial market, most effectively by Chico Science and Nação Zumbi who managed to both retain and translate its thundering urgency, but here it just sounds polite and slightly ponderous.
The non-Gonzaguinha tunes here are also a mixed bunch. The closing track, Chico Valente, is a bit of a classic, and was penned by Rildo Hora who incidentally has a bunch of arranging and producing credits, including on some albums that I plan to share here soon. There are two songs co-authored with Luis Queiroga, a humorist and radio personality who had written tunes with Gonzaga as far back as the 1950s (and whose son is currently a recording artist). "Nordeste Pra Frente" begins as a light-hearted deposition to an imaginary journalist about how much the Northeast has changed into a happening, groovy place with girls who wear miniskirts, men with long hair, hotels that serve Scotch and country people with Japanese radios. But the tune quickly devolves into political propaganda. By the time of the second verse, where Gonzaga praises the progress and accomplishments of various cities in his native Pernambuco, I began to think "Jesus, this sounds like SUDENE propaganda," and sure enough by the third verse he is singing the praises of that organ of the state. SUDENE, for those who don't know, was the development agency charged with analyzing and addressing the Northeast's perennial problems of drought, poverty, illiteracy and overall "under-development." Originally populated by leftists like the economist Celso Furtado, the organization was pretty thoroughly co-opted after the 1964 military coup and reoriented towards big capital-intensive projects through which they courted foreign investors in the same strategy used throughout the dictorship's "economic miracle" more generally. (In fact I have some odd and slightly unnerving archival photos that I took of some SUDENE material from this era found in a special collections section of the state archive of Pernambuco, a small book published in English and specifically targeted at the US and English business communities). The song goes so far as air the "common sense" opinion of the dictatorship's apologists – that the "old" SUDENE wasn't accomplishing anything until the new military government took it over. So while this song might be upbeat and kind of "cute," it is also creepy and that makes it hard for me to get behind it. My friend Bertha also points out that the title is uncannily similar to a propaganda phrase used during the Medíci years of the dictatorship, as found in this "cute" little ad that would run before feature films or in between TV commercials:
The penultimate song, "Canto Sem Protesto," is also co-written with Luis Queiroga. Artistically it is definitely an improvement over "Nordeste Pra Frente." It also adds further to the cognitive dissonance that has been building up during the album, in that it is basically a rebuttal to his son's generation of university-based protest singers. It illustrates in very plainspoken, earnest terms the aforementioned generational divide, saying that his role as a singer is not to make social commentary but to bring people joy. This of course touches on a debate that never goes away about the role of popular music and entertainment. But as expressed in this song, it's part of a pretty profoundly conservative worldview: "He who has hate in his heart doesn't sing / And I wouldn't want to hear them sing anyway" he says in the first verse, presumably alerting us to the likelihood that he probably wasn't going to embrace punk rock when it came around, and then follows this with "Since the time of Pilot / Jesus protested / but since he wasn't a singer / there's weren't big crowds // Since then there is always something / that needs to be protested / But that's not my song / My place is to bring joy." Say what you will about the point of view here, but this is pretty clever, managing to get in a dig about the inevitable self-aggrandizement of socially-engaged 'pop' music while also giving them a bit of genial sympathy. On the one hand it represents a typically "traditional" worldview in the Northeast, one that is acquiescent about the region's injustices and even openly supportive of the social hierarchy that undergirds them. On the other hand it also expresses the opinion – completely legitimate, in my view – that protest music just wasn't Gonzaga's style and he wasn't going to change simply to keep up with fashion. Pity he didn't stick to that position while recording this album… There is more going on here than just the pressures on an artist with more than twenty years of career behind them to stay "relevant" – that is something that we find in all times and places. The debate here is particularly weighty because of the role that the Northeast has played in the country's cultural politics, taking center stage as a nexus of artistic creation in clusters and bursts of activity since the 1930s. The stark inequalities of the region, and the resilience of its stalwart residents to find ways to survive them (if not necessarily overcome them), made Northeastern themes a favorite of the mid-60s protest song movement. And here was Gonzaga, the best-known singer from the region whose image hinged on the notion of his own authenticity, and he was taking a different point of view.
In a way, all of these things combine to make an otherwise unremarkable album, one that was barely on my radar, into a sort of time capsule of all the contradictions and tensions in Brazilian society and their corresponding dynamics in the world of popular culture. The album's liner notes, as I pointed out earlier, were written by Humberto Teixeira, in spite of him only having contributed two songs here. These notes are somewhat beguiling because they are largely addressed to people standing in the wings of contemporaneous debates, not exactly illuminating anything for the casual listener in 2015. In them, Teixeira suggests that baião was by nature always a type of "protest" song in the most pure sense, in that simply to sing about the Northeast at the time it came on the scene was to shed light on the lives of a forgotten people. At the same time that he contextualizes the contribution of the baião to the idea of a national song-writing tradition, he also inadvertently seems to be interring it in a museum, speaking of its history in a way that comes off kind of like a eulogy. And there is no denying that the golden age for baião and forró had in fact come and gone – the vast majority of canonical classics and staples in the repertoire date from the 1940s to the early 60s. Of course there would be people like Domiguinhos to carry the torch and contribute some more immortal compositions, or groups like Trio Nordestino to heat up the dance floor. But the time of composers like Teixeira and Zé Dantas, who churned out hundreds of songs that remain classics to this day, was already receding in the rear view mirror at this point.
In fact it would fall upon the brilliance of artists like Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil to reclaim that "contribution to national song" on its own terms: they embraced the work of Gonzaga, Jackson do Pandeiro and others without the need to ventriloquize them into mouthpieces for political activism. Just as they did with samba, the Tropicalístas' irreverent treatment of this body of work ends up being the most sincere homage, decentering and subverting the use of these styles of music as vehicles for any kind of over-arching political ideology, whether from the right or the left. Gonzaga and Jackson owed a debt to the Tropicalístas for the resurgence of interest in their music which enabled them to have productive and lucrative "final acts" in their late-in-life careers. I say this, too, as a non-Brazilian who was introduced to their songs by way of albums from Gal Costa, Caetano, and Gil. The first time I heard Gal sing "Sebastiana" I nearly crapped myself, and wasted no time in tracking down the original. Naturally when I heard Jackson do Pandeiro's version my first reaction was a bit of "WTF?!", as Gil's arrangement had drastically dismembered and reconstructed it into a tropical Frankenstein. And yet somehow those crazy baianos were tapping into the essence of these songs. They were certainly getting closer to the spirit of these Northeastern genres than their contemporaries in the student protest song movement, with whom they had a notoriously antagonistic relationship. Meanwhile many of those Northeastern artists with roots in the student movement ended up rising through the music business ranks and coming back with a less strident approach during the mid-70s, in the careers of the new generation of MPB singer-songwriters like Belchior, Fagner, and of course Gonzaguinha. That stuff has it's place, and I will defend the early albums from all those guys from their detractors. Gonzaguinha, who group up carioca in Rio de Janeiro rather than the Northeast, would eventually collaborate as a performer with Gonzaga Sr. in the late 70s and throughout the 1980s, releasing some very commercially-successful albums where they were given equal co-billing. But in an alternate 1968, I would much rather be listening to Gonzaga singing songs with "Veloso/Gil" in the composer credits than Gonzaguinha or, for that matter, Luis Queiroga. Instead, we have this confused, conflicted jumble of pleasant songs.

See the facts in the Uygur Bill
The U.S. Congress passed the Uygur Human Rights Policy Act of 2019. It gives the Executive Branch the power to sanction Chinese officials "responsible for human rights abuses in Xinjiang and elsewhere".
It says the legislation will protect the Uygurs in Xinjiang and preserve the region's autonomy as well as pressure the Chinese government to do the same.
It claims that China has been repressive, infringing on the traditions of Uygurs and denying them civil and political rights.
But none of these accusations is true. China is not repressing anyone.
The truth is that China has always given privileges to minorities. For example, 15 to 20 points are automatically added to Uyghur students' scores in the entrance exam for Chinese universities, known as Gaokao.
In Xinjiang, there are more than twenty thousand mosques reflecting Islam as the dominant religion, compared to 59 Buddhist temples, 1 Taoism temple, 26 Catholic churches/gathering points, 227 other Christian churches/gathering points, and 3 Orthodox churches/gathering points.
The bill says "the central government's severe repression is used in Orwellian fashion" and its policy in Xinjiang is a "disproportionate response" to unrest.
It ignores the fact that terrorists, separatists and extremists have caused harm in Xinjiang for a long time.
They've targeted civilians in attacks. On Feb 5, 1992, during Spring Festival, one of China's most important festivals, terrorists detonated bombs on two buses in the region's capital, Urumqi, causing three deaths. On March 1, 2014, eight terrorists attacked civilians with machetes at Kunming train station, leaving 31 dead.
They've also targeted religious leaders. On January 27, 1998, terrorists killed Abulizi Aji, imam of the Great Mosque of Baicheng County. Senior Mullah Juma Tayier, vice president of the Xinjiang Islamic Association and imam of the Id Kah Mosque, was killed on July 30, 2014, after morning prayers.
They've targeted wider society. On March 7, 2008, terrorists tried to crash Flight CZ6901 on its journey from Urumqi to Beijing. And on October 28, 2013, terrorists drove a jeep on to a sidewalk east of Beijing's Tiananmen Square, targeting tourists and policemen. They crashed on to the barrier of a bridge, igniting their vehicle and killing two people, including a foreigner.
In Xinjiang, the Chinese government is taking steps to ensure terrorist activities of this kind don't recur. It is re-educating those who have demonstrated extremist behavior and tendencies so that they could live peacefully without harming society or themselves.
Finally, China doesn't infringe on people's traditions.
In reality, Uygurs are not homogenous in their traditions, as the result of centuries of integration. They have a variety of faiths and all don't dress the same way.
Clearly, some of those behind the U.S. legislation aren't objective.
Brad Sherman and Albio Sires, to cite two Congressmen, have long been biased against China. Sherman blasted the Congress for granting China trade status in 2000. Sires accused China of "propping up brutal dictatorships" in Latin and Central America.
The Uygur Act is just one in a series of U.S. laws designed to intervene in China's sovereignty. American legislators really ought to be more careful in how they approach the relationship between the two great powers.
They can start by getting the facts.

The Army that owns a state: Protest!
Karachi based activists have organized a protest against the recent attacks of the Pakistani Army on Pakistani which resulted in numerous civilian deaths.
Karachi Press Club
This is their press statement:
Protest Military Action! 73 Civilians Killed In Raid By Pakistani Army Jet
More than 73 civilians have been killed in an air strike by a Pakistani Army jet on a remote village in the country's troubled North-West, media reports said Tuesday.
A unnamed military official disclosed that the bombing in the tribal Khyber region took place on Saturday, but news of the operation emerged only now.
The same jet was also used for bombing Taliban positions in neighboring Orakzai tribal region where the militants fled to in the wake of the Pakistani Army's major push to snuff out Taliban strongholds in the Swat region.
Reports of those killed in air strikes in the area vary greatly with the Army terming them militants while locals say there were several civilian casualties as well.
According to the official, initial reports indicated that the military jet strayed from its course and mistook a village for a Taliban camp resulting in the deaths of civilians.
The injured are being treated under heavy guard at the Hayatabad medical complex in Peshawar and reporters have been barred from speaking to the survivors.
Moreover, in a bid to contain the fallout, the Pakistani Army establishment has imposed a "gag clause" preventing military personnel from divulging operational details including deaths of civilians to media.
It is said the Army is under severe pressure from the U.S. to go after Taliban militants in the restive tribal areas bordering Afghanistan and the ongoing offensive against insurgents has displaced close to one million residents of the region.

Whisk cornstarch into 1 cup water and add to drippings and bring to a boil over medium-high heat until thickened.
Slice meat or pull apart in chunks. Place meat on platter, drizzle with gravy and serve.


not as deep as this picture, which is a gross exaggeration, but – first knuckle pinky finger deep anyway.
Now, you can pick your nose in public, but do NOT pick your teeth in public because it's "rude".
One must cover the mouth when picking the teeth with a toothpick. I was shown the proper way by a friend that was concerned I was a heathen from America. Apparently she thought everyone did it the correct way – left hand over mouth – covering – and the right hand with toothpick doing the picking.
I adapted quickly to the teeth picking. That was easy enough. Perhaps we DO go about it that way in America – but I was living in Florida and most manners that have accumulated throughout the years – living in NY and Honolulu are gone within the first year or so… manners in florida evaporate away as one meshes with the populace.
The other picking – nose picking – I was naturally a bit thrown by. When I first saw it – I wondered, where do they put the booger… and then I saw – on the pants. Almost always on the pants or flicking it into the air – to the ground. That answered that.
It took me a few weeks… when I saw enough people doing it – young and old… high so people and people from the countryside… I jumped right in.
I now clean my nose with relish – (enjoyment) – at least twice each week.
I go knuckle deep and I'm usually smiling when I do it – the enjoyment is one thing, but the absurdity of it is also funny.
HaHa! That's too funny. I know this post is pretty old, but I'm really enjoying your blog.
haha funny things you get to see around the world eh?


Hi all, I live in Manaia, a little town shadowed by the beautiful Mount Taranaki in Taranaki, New Zealand. We own an old 5 bedroom villa currently under restoration built in 1880, bit of a project. I work as a painter/paperhanger so this house is ideal for me and my wife of 33 years. I have been painting for 36 years and am basically sick of it. I need a change and the hours are terrible (6. 30am - 6. 00pm) and the pay is lousy. I want to break into the affiliate marketing business so I can wake up "when I want" and work my own hours. I am willing to put in the hours as I'm doing it now but for little return. Haven't done too bad I guess as we own 2 houses, or should I say the bank owns them but we do OK I guess, though I want to be doing better than OK. Just had our first grandson 27th July so would love to be able to provide for the little fellah in a big way. Change is good so Heres too a New Life Ahead.
Thanks for the follow, it appears that you are on you way to creating a successful online business with your two WA sites. I assumed from you profile and about pages that you would have a comic and guitar site; especially a guitar site based on your profile photos. In your photo you look like a serious guitar shredder.
Dear Milton, how are you?) Hope you are fine and everything is great with your business progress ). I've recently followed you in WA.
Thanks for the warm welcome and for following me. It's awesome to meet another kiwi here in the WA community.
Congratulations to you and your wife for becoming Grandparents to your first Grandson!!
I look forward to seeing you grow and wish you the best as well.
Milton, nice to hear from you. I am quite far behind in following followers. The aheader I go the I get the behinder I get! Well better late than never.
I love NZ. I spent a year there ages ago. Half a year on each island. I skied at Mount Ruapehu but never made it over to your mountain.
I love the haka behind the guitar pose.
Looks like you are plunging ahead so keep up the good work and keep in touch.
Hello Milton ... thank you for the follow. Looks like your moving along quite nicely with Bootcamp training. With a little PPD (patience, persistence, determination) you will learn a skill set that can change your life. That is if you'd like to leave your 9 to 5 job (6:30 to 6 in your case) in the rear view mirror.
It's a process and it's not a race ... it's a marathon.
Good luck with WA. I'm pretty new here but if there's any way I can help. I'm more than willing.
Hi Milton thanks for the follow i to want change both fed up with the day to day grind and we are in the right place i believe, Also it is good to talk to one another feed back is good, if you need anything just shout ,Best of luck.
Hi Milton, welcome to Wealthy Affiliate, I wish you every success. Thanks for the follow, I look forward to following you in return. I live across the "Ditch" from you in Aussie land. My wife and I did a cruise around NZ last January. We sailed on the Diamond Princess and celebrated our Diamond wedding anniversary (60yrs) on board. Beautiful ship, beautiful scenery, wonderful holiday. Good luck, WA is much easier than painting. Kind regards John.
Welcome Milton I definitely can relate to the job scam. I'm also looking for a change and I have picked up a lot of tools here to help along the way. It's sort of like a take what you need and leave the rest type of deal for me. But definitely follow the courses. That's the cream of the crop. Then there's this ocean of experience here in the community so there's no need to stay stuck.
Congratulations! I welcome change, my entire business career is eclectic, and I manage to have stayed alive and well in corporate USA, doing what I do. (Five different careers over a 40 year span.) Since I have to be intellectually stimulated, I got another degree Cybersecurity, now working on WA boot camp and I am taking a writing course. Maybe it just me... I like to keep moving ,,, Wishing YOU enormous success and fun times with your grandson.
You are in the right place to learn about affiliate marketing and make a success of it. the only way you can fail now is by giving up. On your journey you will have doubts, that is the time to stick with it and push on. when you do have doubts, put them out there and give us the chance to help you along.
Welcome and thank you for following me. Congratulations on your first grand. My grand daughter was born on 28 July 4 years ago now and I still look at her as if it's the first time I've seen her. They change your life and give your life more meaning. Hang in there and take this 1 day at a time and keep us involved.
HI there! Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate!! Congrats on becoming a granddaddy !!! It's the best, I'm a grandmother and there's nothing like it! I love your attitude. It truly takes a good attitude and a non quitter to make it in the world today. Thanks for your follow and looking forward to seeing you around the site!!
1880 wow, that some house you got there. I joined WA for a similar goal, to be able to work when I want to and so far I am still learning a lot each day.
Thank you for adding me to your network, I look forward to the day when both of us are at a stage when we decide our own working hours.
Welcome to WA, and thanks for the follow. I'm following you back.
Congrats on the your grandson. Nothing like kids for prompting a change, is there!
Affiliate marketing is great, but it's a good idea to have several streams of income, so don't be too quick to dump all that knowledge you've spent a lifetime of blood, sweat and tears earning. What about doing something that will help you teach renovating, painting, problem-solving, "what to look for in a house that shows it has terrible problems", "what you can do to fix this problem" "how to fix this awful mess", "thinking of being a painter? Did you know..." etc. on video?
I don't know what you might be interested in, but I'm sure you know lots of info people would be only too happy to learn, especially as the economy tanks and people want to do more for themselves. The problem is how to monetise, I know, but with all the entrepreneurial brains here - someone will be able to come up with something brilliant. Set of videos/ebook sold through Clickbank, or Selz?
I think that will help sell the course. A good percentage of people download the free trial, but all the written instructions seem to frighten a lot of them off. A few short PowerPoint videos should fix that. I hope.
Then I'll put the entire course up on video, and see how that goes. I hear videos are the way people are wanting to learn more and more.
It's been a real learning curve, to learn the Camtasia program - expensive, but recommended by a WAer. And now I'm getting the hang of it (because of the one whole month free trial!), I'm getting somewhere.
I hope your plotting and planning helps you come up with something fantastic and much more than just financially viable.
Hi Milton, Thanks for the follow, will follow you back. Welcome to WA where you've chosen the right vehicle to start making the changes that you want. You will be able to achieve your goals in your own way. Wish you the best to success with your online business.
Hello, Milton and thanks for adding me to your circle of Wealthy Affiliate friends. I agree, we all want to work at home. I believe that Wealthy Affiliate gives us an opportunity to do it and break free from the iron cage of long hours work. I wish you the best in your blogging journey.
Greetings Milton & Welcome.........and thank you for following me. You have joined into a wonderful community where changing your life is absolutely possible. It's here for you to learn. Best wishes and good luck to you in your journey here in WA.
p.s. I used to play the guitar too, but arthritis in my hands took it away. Still own an old vintage Gibson.
True, I would never part with my old Gibson either....I've had it longer than my children and they're pushing 50. Oldest daughter named it "Gibson" 25 years ago. I joke that I've just about got him broken in. Cheerz back.
Nic to meet you, Milton, thank you for adding me to your network of friends, I can relate with you about being tired of painting.
I did drywall for 40 years and was quite burned out when I quit. Affiliate marketing is a great change of pace, no more rushed jobs.
Looking forward to following your success here at WA.
Hey, Milton! Great to meet you, my friend, and thanks for the add to your network!
I feel your pain, buddy! I, too, am a construction painter for 37 years (from September 1979) and I'm also SICK of it!!! I never got a chance to hang paper though.
Like you, that's why I'm at Wealthy Affiliate. I want so badly to hang up my brushes for good!
Goodaye Milton from nearby Melbourne Australia. I can totally relate to your reasons and goals in wanting to create a lifestyle and income online. You've arrived at the right place if you want to learn how to build an online business. You'll find a really supportive community here of like-minded entrepreneurs wanting to create different lives for their families and themselves.
Hi, Milton from New Zealand.
Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate University. I am pleased to make your acquaintance and look forward to learning, sharing and serving with you as we move forward.
That's nice to know, Milton.
The study of how to receive fulfillment in our lives.
Thank you for your reply. I'm sure we will be in touch more often as time goes by.
Building an Internet business to eventually build a legacy for your grandson is possible and doable. I would recommend you learn the basics: Get Started Here [top left green box]. Everything you need is here. Do it all in order, don't skip any, and when you ever get puzzled, ask the community. They are the secret sauce of WA. Once your site is live, getting traffic, and income, start another. Soon, the multiple streams of income will grow.
I wish you much success and prosperity in reaching your goals.
New Zealand, wow! Haven't been there for about 30 years, but loved it then. My wife and I were trying to figure out how it might work to move to Christchurch, but gave up.
Anyway, there are some pretty successful affiliate types in New Zealand, Christchurch-based I believe, one of which I considered studying under before I joined WA, but choose WA. My point is your location isn't a problem. You can internet market well from where you are.
A beauty of where you are may be that you can access the your local culture to come up with something to sell internationally. Maybe a physical product as weird a real Mauri brain picks or simply quality sheepskins or rock sets from different volcanoes. Else something informational, such as a newsletter about happenings, sees and/or does around New Zealand or playing golf where some of the traps are geothermic vent holes like in Rotorua.
Hi Milton nice to meet you and thanks for the follow. My dad was a painter. My brothers too. A couple of my nephews too! They are very creative with it also! It is long hard work though.
I wish you luck on your online adventure. This is the right place to learn! Much luck to you!
Hi Milton, thanks for following me - it's nice to meet you here at WA!
You're welcome, Milton, and thank you, too!
Thanks very much for following me, firstly I want to say I love your website, very fresh and full of info.
A nice clean approach and great domain name!
Please feel free to keep in contact and I would love to hear your other ideas for growing online. Do you have any other projects up your sleeve?
You're welcome. Wish the best!
Your profile picture rocks. I am a composer & I play acoustic.
My wife is a painter too. She has stopped painting since she joined an office work. Since then she is very stress. She has to go back to the marvellous world.
Milton, I see you are making some good progress through the Affiliate Bootcamp. Just wanted to pop by and see if you need a hand with anything?
Anyways, just checking in. Get back at me if you need anything Milton.
Yeah, you will definitely be getting into that stuff very soon!
I've been to New Zealand, but it was some time ago. I was younger then, and so much older now.
I remember flying in and seeing sheep everywhere, from the plane it looked like snow. I was coming from Alaska, so it was a natural assumption.
Anyway, living in southern California now. Still remember the meat pies and the fresh milk with cream still on top, delivered to my door step.
My girlfriend and I stayed in several cities and towns up and down the north island. We mostly traveled by bus, sometimes taking the train. Great times, riding the bus on 90 mile beach.
Your grandson shares my youngest daughter's birthday. My other daughter is on the 28th July, so birthday season has just finished.
Next year I want us all to be on holiday celebrating my WA membership and new online business.
Here's to both our dreams!
Hello Milton and Welcome to wealthy affiliate.
You have probably found out that internet marketing will be a steep learning curve.
Hi Milton, thank you for following me. Sounds like you live in a beautiful place. I actually have some long lost relatives in New Zealand but we are a bit out of touch now.
I wish you every success in your venture with WA. It does take time and patience so don't get disheartened if things don't happen real fast, they will happen.
Hello Milton, and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate. great to have you as a part of our community. I want to thank you for having me be a part of your network and I've followed you back as well. I wish you the very best in your new online business venture.

Hi Milton and thank you for following me. I am following you too.
I am a bit of an "old rocker" although the old bones don't let me swing my hair around too much now. I see that you can manage that with no problems.
Welcome to WA. Like you, my granddaughter's future is so important to me and a great motivator. They come along, into your life, and take over your time, emotions and money. Wouldn't have it any other way.

You'll find it also offers 18-inch wheels, LED running lights, heated mirrors, and even an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the cabin; add on Teen Driver technology and you'll have control over some features to help promote positive and healthy driving habits in your children. The Equinox is exceptional no matter how you look at it!

Forspoken is a new JRPG game (Japanese Roll Play Game) that is being created by Square Enix (the same platform that produced Tomb Raider).
The game will be the perfect epitome of open world game with an expansive magical system and fast traversal.
The game will also feature a significant representation of Unreal Engine 5. So, we have a good chance of learning about what this engine is capable of.
The game was initially introduced as 'Project Athia' in June 2020. But now that it is about to be released, we learned that the game's actual name is 'Forspoken.'
Everyone is eagerly waiting for the game to come out to see how the gameplay system will work. Because there are high hopes for this game. As the release date nears, the excitement levels are going up.
The game was supposed to release on October 11th, but now the date has been postponed to January 24th. Hopefully, the date won't be pushed anymore.
The details we have about Forspoken currently tell us that the game begins by giving you some tools to explore the world of Forspoken with a comprehensive magic system.
You will also be able to leap around environments with fluid movements to enjoy the narrative-driven adventure.
The trailer of Forspoken showed us Frey Holland, the protagonist of the game is, running around in an arena as a dragon comes and swipes her.
She is also seen summoning a flame sword to fight the enemies, trapping some monsters in water orbs, setting magical traps, and even conjuring shifty platforms under herself to get elevated; pretty cool, right?
But that is not all; the best feature of Frey is that she can launch magic projectiles from her palms like a missile launcher.
The game is currently only coming out for PS5 and PC; it will be single-player. There are high hopes among game fans that after its release, it will also be available on other gaming systems like Xbox and PS4.
The game is about to be released, but before it comes out, there is an important question that we all need an answer to; and that is…
Is Forspoken Cross Platform?
We already know that Forspoken is currently only coming for PS5 and PC, but we are still determining whether the game will allow us to play on different systems with our friends, cross-gen play, or cross platform play.
The answer is no. Forspoken doesn't have any such facilities. It doesn't allow split-screen co-op, online co-op, multiplayer, cross-generation play, or cross platform multiplayer; because it is only for single-player story mode.
This narrative game is something that you are going to experience yourself (alone). You won't be able to enjoy it with your friends. Sad but true.
The game is yet to come to other platforms, but until there is no announcement regarding the game being available on other platforms, or cross platform coming to any system, we have to make do with what we have.
This news indeed made you as sad as it made me, but there is actually nothing we can do unless there is no announcement about the updates from Square Enix.
Related guides:
Is god of war ragnarok cross platform
Now that we know many things about Forspoken, we will wait for it to come out and then play the game in solitude and enjoy the amazing storyline and the whole ambiance of the game alone.
The game has just released its initial trailers and demos; the information is making all the fans anxious because it seems freaking amazing!
However, the fact that the game isn't cross platform, cross- play has disappointed me a little, but we can't always get what we want, right?

This year will be my second year as a beekeeper and hopefully I will do a better job than my freshman year. At this moment I just hope the bees survive this roller coaster winter. I know there are still some bees in the hive since I've seen dead bees on fresh snow all the time. I would consider it a small but vital victory if I have a new generation of bees born into and multiplying in our garden, as short as life is for them.
Well, since I can't do much of anything outside or help the bees in any way I'll just search through a pile of catalogs for plants that are good for bees that I can add to the garden. It just dawned on me that there are many other ways to provide pollen and nectar for bees than just growing plants I find in catalogs. While cataloging photographs I've been taken either in our garden or while on vacation, I've found some simple facts that I've overlooked regarding plants for bees.
There are water plants that bees love, like Waterlilies (Nymphaea) and Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera).
Letting some weeds flower. Bees forage on weeds such as Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), White Clover (Trifolium repens), Goldenrod (Salidago canadensis) and Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota). Weeds to us but food to them.
Let leafy vegetables flower. Vegetables that we seldom allow to flower because we eat their leaves, like Arugula (Eruca sativa), Broccoli Raab (Brassica rapa), Bok choi (Brassica rapa) and Mizuna (or Japanese greens). Last season I couldn't pick them fast enough so they flowered and the bees were all over them.
I've been letting Goldenrod and Queen Anne's Lace grow for many years because I like their flowers. I think I'll have to make friends with the Dandelions. Then add more of a Sedum I just found in a catalog (so far) for fall foraging.
Autumn will be here in a week; September 22nd is the first day to be exact. I don't really go by the date when I think of autumn. I depend on the temperature and plants in the garden to tell me that fall is coming. The same goes for spring when I'm prompted to start sowing seeds by the sprouting of weeds.
I know I have a few flowers that bloom until the first frost, but haven't been concerned until this year when I acquired honey bees. I want to make sure that they have enough natural food to last the winter. The temperature has been down below 50F in the last couple of nights, but has gone up between 70F and 80F during the day. The honey bees won't come out foraging until the temperature is above 50F, but the resident Bumblebees have been very busy from early morning until last light. There doesn't seem to be any competition between them. They seem to co-exist pretty well, unlike the wasps.
There are still plenty of flowers in the garden, Garden phlox, Coreopsis as well as herbs and vegetables flowers. I let the Goldenrod (Solidago) grow and set seeds. I know it is a weed but what constitutes a 'weed' anyway. On the other side of the globe, Goldenrod is a cut flower and being sold in the market. Farmers Markets in NYC also sell them. I guess the phrase "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" still rings true. I like them for the bright yellow flowers when there is not much else blooming, and for how much the insects and birds love them. Our resident honey bees can also forage on them from mid-summer to fall.
Honey bee and wasp sharing the Goldenrod for a moment, before the bee was bullied out.
Clematis 'Sweet Autumn' (Clematis turniflora) really has a perfect name. As soon as the temperature cools down, it starts to blossom. It is a sign of autumn approaching. They create a cluster of small white flowers so dense that they look like snow from afar and they are lightly but beautifully fragrant. A plus side? Bees love them. A minus side? It can grow to 30 feet in one season. I cut everything down to a couple of feet off the main branch in spring; it grows right back on to our roof by the end of summer.
This bee has a lot of pollen to carry back, but still adding more to her load from Clematis 'Sweet Autumn'.
Another autumn flower is Sedum 'Autumn Joy'. It's great for full sun and dry areas, and it's hard to kill. As soon as the flower blossoms, the whole mop head will fill with all types of insects. I've never really liked it much, but it came with the house so I keep it. I keep dividing them and replanting them in an area that doesn't need much care. I may look for a different variety next year since I want to provide a variety of food for my resident bees in fall.
Abelia (Abelia grandiflora) is another staple for mid-summer to frost blooming. This compact shrub with dark green leaves provides little white cluster flowers with a light fragrance. I don't have to do much aside from cutting some old stems off at the base in spring so it doesn't get too crowded. Mulching with compost once a year keeps it in good health.
No bees on this one, but Bumblebees and day-flying moths are frequent visitors on this Abelia.
I can't leave this last one out, Butterfly bush (Buddleia davidii). This lovely shrub can be very invasive if I let the flowers set seeds. But it makes up for the down side by providing a lot of beautiful and fragrant flowers. They are still blooming in our garden in September, though less than a month or so ago, but still providing scent for the garden and food for the insects.

I went to Vegas for the first time over last weekend and had a blast!! I stayed at Aria hotel which is at the heart of the new CityCentre buildings and, though I haven't been to any of the other Vegas hotels yet, would definitely recommend it.
Also... of the Vegas clubs I've been to so far, I recommend Haze (at Aria) and Tryst (at Wynn).
Next time I go back I'd like to see one of the shows and maybe fire a machine gun or two at The Gun Store!!
Anyone else have any Vegas hotel/club/show/etc. recommendations ??

I would like to think that you know my feelings towards freedom of speech and information by now, o Readership. So it should come as no surprise that my reaction to the announcement that BBC Question Time has allowed Nick Griffin of the BNP to appear on the show is one of delight and relief.
It's about time that he was given a chance to air his views and opinions in public, so that the people that elected him and Richard Barnbrook into office as MEPs earlier in the year can see exactly what it was they voted for.
The BNP have, by dint of claiming the role of outsider or maverick, been able to control the image they provide to the public, letting very little of what they say in closed meetings and rallies get out into the open air. They know that if that were to happen, the stink of their unfiltered outpourings would get people's attention in the worst way.
Voters elected these two to office because they were represented as a way to protest against failures in the political structure of this country, and a way to register fears about the future. These views have, for the most part, been fuelled by an an irresponsible and at worst downright collusive right wing press. When the Express uses a BNP slogan as a direct front page headline, and the Star begins pretty active support of the hooligan paramilitary EDF, then you can see where the problem lies.
Freedom of information is all about freedom to correct information. The BNP are desperate not to be portrayed in the media as racists, despite the clear statements to the contrary in their manifesto. The EDF would like to be seen as protectors of an ill-defined "British way of life", choosing to ignore the hundreds of years of multi-culturalism and tolerance that give a much truer picture of England's history and heritage than these clowns would have you believe. Unlike most of Europe, this country has no history of mainstream representation of far-right political parties. We choose to treat racists with the respect they deserve. The respect you give to any ranting nutter.
I'm really happy that that Griffin is about to get his say, because it's likely to open a lot of people's eyes as to the truly toxic nature of his views. Frankly, I don't think the producers of Question Time have gone far enough. I'd have a member of the EDF on there as well. Preferably in a balaclava. That'd kill two birds with one stone.

The NAKTO Electric Mountain Bike is one powerful bike that delivers great speed. It has the Shimano 6-speed system to allow for easy shifting of the breaks. Secondly, the bike also features the powerful 350W high-speed motor, which ensures that it delivers top-notch speed. You can always adjust the speed from 20-24 MPH. The elegant and body friendly design of the bike makes it suitable for all users. It is a more refined and humanized bike recommended by both experts and riders.
It is important to note that the less power you use while riding your e-bike, the longer the battery will last, makes sense right? All of the pedal-assist drive units we tested also have smartphone apps that can be used to customize your support settings and such changes may allow for more or less range on your electric mountain bike. Specialized's Mission Control app has a feature that lets you set a predetermined route, and the app then regulates the motor's support to ensure power lasts to finish your ride.

A high power output is the best choice when you are a newbie and then you can gradually move to the lower power output modes that need more physical drills.

But if you're coming back from injury, looking to ride more miles in a shorter period of time, or just ride further without getting exhausted, then the Turbo Levo is just amazing. This bike is the great equalizer. Some may see that as a negative, lowering the sport's barrier to entry, but we think more people on bikes can only be a good thing. It will make returning to mountain biking after the birth of a child, an injury, or a stressful period at work much easier. Life happens, the electric assist bikes like this Turbo Levo will help more people ride more often.

How Often Do I Need To Put Air In My Bike Tires
When riding a normal bike through creek crossings and rock gardens, I typically stop pedaling often to avoid pedal strikes and to maneuver the bike. This approach is not compatible with the Turbo Levo's weight. On it, continual pedaling was necessary, but the big tires and well-damped suspension enabled me to roll over obstacles I'd typically try to avoid, with the motor helping me power over them smoothly. To make this constant pedaling possible without pedal strikes, the bottom bracket is moved higher and Specialized has spec'd 170mm cranks that are a tad shorter than normal.

For Canyon's first e-mtb the Spectal:ON 8.0 hasn't simply hit the trail running, it's power up it in Boost mode. The geometry, sizing and handling are all on point, and details like the adjustable geometry, odd wheel sizes, tyre specific rim widths and short cranks make Canyon a market leader rather than a brand that's simply playing catch up. With a Fox 36 Fit4 fork the Spectral:ON 8.0 would probably have won the test, the more basic Grip damper never having the measure of Canyon's superb rear suspension.

I've had a Daa Hub kit on my touring bike for just over 3 years. . There have been so many problems that is actually been 3 kits (except the battery) in 3 years and I'm fed up. The supplier is too and the bike is being decommissioned. There was a suggestion that I've had my value from it. I disagree. Its used for commuting - I've only averaged about 5,000km per year on it, though that's hard to calculate as the computer on it has been changed about 4 times.

240-WH of LiPo. This bike was home-built by Jean-Pierre Schiltknecht with the purpose of building the lightest mountain bike ever, and setting a Guinness Book of World Record. No expense was spared, this very special bike cost over $15,000 to make. It is a mid-drive running through the gears using a tiny RC motor, and despite its lightweight and seemingly delicate construction, this ebike is a mountain climber. Read our article on this ebike
205-WH battery, $5,000. One of the sexiest bikes on this list, the frame is made from Titanium with no paint. Titanium is known for being sweet looking, lightweight, strong, and expensive, and an ebike made up of it is a rare piece of ebike porn. This bike is basically a conversion bike built by a company. It can easily be built the same way as a home build. It would be even sexier and cleaner with an internal gear hub in the rear such as a Rohloff. This is possible because this is a front wheel drive ebike. Get more info on this bike from the Prodego website

The Ghost is a sleek, quiet and practical bike with everything you need to carry out your daily chores and trips around town. It's a simple and refined electric city bike – no gears, no shifter. No front suspension either, but there is the 500W motor that will get you to speeds up to 26mph. The design, the build quality and the specs are on par with much more expensive bikes. Features include the rack and fenders, an integrated LED tail light as well as a headlight. Because of the flat top tube frame style that is 28″ off the ground this bike is fits best to riders 5'4″-6'1″ tall.

With three gears, variable assistance – you can change when and to what extent it kicks in via Gocycle's handy app, which also lets your phone serve as a basic bike computer – and small-ish but chunky, sporty wheels, the GX is just a blast to ride. Gocycle's power delivery algorithms and torque sensors have been tweaked by former F1 engineers, so the ride is one of the smoothest around. It's nippy, manouevrable and fun, and it also feels more like a 'proper bike' than the Brompton.

Power delivery is smooth and easy to predict, once you get the hang of it. We're not sure if integration is better on the Turbo road bike, or if the slow, technical nature of trail riding just highlights some quirks. The motor shuts off less than a second after you stop pedaling, and the onset of power delivery is momentarily delayed once you begin pedaling. And this did mean we had to adapt our riding style a little bit to deal with that slight lag.

The extra grip a 50lb e-bike normally helps to prevent overshooting corners when on the brakes, and bring pure DH-bike-like fun factor on the steepest trails. This electric Orange, however, rides more like a 'standard' enduro bike with a motor, which could be good or bad, depending on your expectations and riding style. It's built tough and delivers stacks of fun in less time than any regular bike can. Adding a motor hasn't upset Orange's superb geometry.

The F1-trained engineers at William Advanced Engineering assisted with the electrical parts and the result is a 250W motor that provides pedal assistance via the front hub – which is still a very unusual approach. It draws power from a 300Wh battery pack that sits in a bag and goes on the front where the Brompton luggage rack would normally sit. You can also opt for a larger bag that holds both the battery and your spare suit or laptop or whatever.
As with anything, there is still room for improvement. There is no handlebar mounted digital display, and the only way to tell your speed is to mount a phone or bike computer to the bars. Specialized has changed the location of their battery charge and output mode display, however, which is now conveniently located on the top tube where you can see it while riding. The new motor is an improvement over the previous, but it still lags a little in engagement compared to the competition and the climbing performance is hampered by the drive unit's slightly more abrupt cutoff. Overall though, the Specialized still proved to be the test team's favorite for its versatility and well-rounded performance. We loved it, and we think you will too.

Andrew Cuomo saga: CNN suspends host Chris Cuomo
Hundreds of pages posted Monday by Letitia James' office highlighted the role the 51-year-old played behind the scenes in dealing with allegations of sexual harassment against his brother, the former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo earlier this year.
Due to this new lighting thrown on his involvement in the defense of his brother , the network said in a press release that it had suspended the host of Cuomo Prime Time for an indefinite period, pending further evaluation .
The documents, of which we were not aware before their public release, raise serious questions , said the company, which had not yet cracked down on its employee, one of the channel's most popular figures.
His inaction had also been the subject of criticism, and several had questioned the journalistic ethics of both the main interested party and the 24-hour news channel.
When Chris confessed to us that he had offered advice to his brother's staff, he broke our rules and we publicly admitted it. But we also understood the unique position he found himself in, and we understood his need to put his family before his job. , said the network.
" However, these documents indicate a greater level of involvement in his brother's efforts than we previously knew. "
– A quote from Excerpt from the CNN press release
On Monday, the cable channel reacted by indicating that it would have conversations and would seek to obtain further clarification on the meaning of the information contained in the documents.
Broadcast from 9 p.m., Cuomo Prime Time, CNN's most-watched show, was replaced Tuesday night with a second hour ofAnderson Cooper 360.
The day before, a few hours after the publication of the documents, Chris Cuomo had hosted his show as if nothing had happened.
Both authors of the CNN article about his suspension wrote that it came after criticism was raised that he violated widely accepted journalistic standards .
" Staff at CNN have expressed dismay at the presenter's conduct. "
– A quote from Excerpt from the CNN article published on Tuesday
Help greater than what was known
Chris Cuomo's role as unofficial adviser to his older brother, forced to resign in August 2021 after an avalanche of allegations he has consistently denied, was already known. the Washington post, for example, had reported in a report as early as May 2021.
Documents posted on Monday – a 348-page transcript of the interrogation conducted by New York investigators and 169 pages of evidence on file, including emails and texts -, however, revealed help on a scale greater than what had been unveiled so far.
During his testimony, he admitted that around the time accusers began to publicly denounce Governor Cuomo, in February and March 2021, he was in constant contact with his brother and his team.
Challenging the strategy employed to deal with the series of accusations, he even dictated press releases in which he suggested the detailed answers to be given.
According to his own testimony, but also according to the texts, Chris Cuomo also used his journalistic sources to obtain information on the accusers.
In March, he said on his current affairs show that he was unable to cover the allegations against his brother.
The presenter known for his direct style apologized a few weeks later, admitting to having made a fault by advising him, but explaining in the same breath that his family put before his work.
He returned to the subject in August, after a report from Letitia James, who spoke of his involvement, arguing that he was just one brother which had gave his opinion .
At the start of the pandemic, Andrew Cuomo appeared on the show several times Cuomo Prime Time. The two brothers' exchanges, punctuated with humor, had been well received by many viewers, but the conflict of interest had also generated its share of criticism, even internally.
Fallen out of favor after establishing himself as a national political star during the pandemic, Andrew Cuomo had finally resolved to throw in the towel in August.
In a damning report, the New York State Attorney General documented the cases of 11 women who said they were the targets of inappropriate gestures or remarks by Andrew Cuomo.
The latter was indicted last month for a sexual offense.

Things definitely got better at week four as I was over the hump and over half way through my convalescence.
Boredom has kicked in. Thankfully my parents brought Neil's Gran's sewing machine around and I started sewing on the sewing machine. A couple of years ago I went on a patchwork course and I had been meaning to make stuff. In the meantime I had collected a load of fabric so I had no excuse to start. The first thing I did was a red patchwork cushion. Weirdly I really hate cutting material and had a bit of a nightmare with it. Although I'm alright using the machine. I had some teething troubles initially and thankfully Google sorted me out. It was really good to do something creative. However Lil'Sox was feeling a little neglected and keeps trying to distract me from my project by siting on my fabric.
I escaped down the rabbit hole of twitter and set up an account for Lil'Sox. Oh boy did I find the cat lady subculture! I'm not the first person to set up a cat twitter account and I won't be the last. A few cute tweets of Sox and we were off. I could not believe how quickly her account got off the ground. Plenty of follows ensured that Sox was followed back, who could resist her sweet face?
I did get out and about and bought a bus pass. I'm so missing my car especially when I go green with travel sickness. At least I could legitimately sit on the seats at the front of the bus for people who are old or with mobility issues like myself.
2. Reading becomes a bit of chore after four weeks.
3. Still no day time TV and I don't feel the need for it.
5. I'm turning into a cat lady.
6. People can be surprisingly thoughtful when you're out and on crutches.
7. You become really good at forward planning your trips out to minimise walking on crutches, whilst doing everything you want to do.
8. I'm not as obsessed about listening to podcasts on my iPod now I'm off work.
9. Running a twitter feed for your cat can be fun.
10. The end is in sight.

Chicken Joe was so popular that it was often impossible to get near his stall. The huge sale of tickets obtained from several helpers circulated around the stall would account for the various prizes. He had the gift the flair and the tongue of a successful street market busker. He would produce a very large empty carrier bag, with a flourish and then proceed to fill it to bursting point with groceries, item by item ceremoniously. The top the whole thing up with a chicken or occasionally a joint of beef instead.
The owner of each winning ticket was then given a bag of groceries and a second ticket which was taken back on Saturday night where the winner of this final game received a three piece suite as the grand prize. Joe Barak retired in 1962 but the show had passed into local folklore and became a local legend no doubt due to the shortage of fresh meat before and after the Second World War. More information regarding Chicken Joe and the impact he had on the people of Hull can be found in Chicken Joe - The Man You All Know by Christopher Ketchell published by the Local History Archives Unit in 1986, and reprinted by New Era Publications in 1999.
Despite the array of rides, shows and games that have been presented at Hull Fair over the years, the name that many locals recall when reminiscing about the fair is Chicken Joe - The Man You All Know. Chicken Joe or Joe Barak, was a showman based in Yorkshire who regularly attended the fair in the 1930s and 1940s, when he ran the stall for Ling's Family amusements. One of the main differences between this stall and others is that the prizes on offer were groceries and a fresh chicken, with some fair goers remembering that on occasion Joe would sometimes offer as a prize a joint of beef. John Ling, the son of the original owner of the show, Joe Ling, in his Memories of a Travelling Life, recalls going to the local bakery during the fair to order a hundred loaves of bread to put into the grocery bags. People would flock to Chicken Joe's in order to try and win one of the chickens which were so prominently displayed. The owner of each winning ticket was then given a bag of groceries and a second ticket which was taken back on Saturday night where the winner of this final game received a three piece suite as the grand prize. Joe Barak retired in 1962 but the show had passed into local folklore. More information regarding Chicken Joe and the impact he had on the people of Hull can be found in a booklet written by Christopher Ketchell and published by the Local History Archives Unit in 1986.

Joanna in the Netherlands, visiting an art gallery that has strong connections to her late aunt.
As we speak, Joanna van der Gracht de Rosado, author of "The Woman Who Wanted the Moon," is in the Netherlands gathering information and images for her upcoming family memoir of her aunt, Gisèle van Waterschoot van der Gracht.
Gisèle was an artist of international renown, died last year at age 100. But she left behind mountains of papers, photographs, and of course, her art collection. Joanna's father, a Canadian soldier in World War II, first met Gisèle, his cousin, when she was hiding refugees from the Nazis in her apartment. Thus begins a lifelong friendship, one that was passed down to Joanna in later years.
Joanna had slowed contributions to her Writing from Merida blog as she devoted time to writing the memoir, but she has been "Writing from Amsterdam" filling us in on her journey.
It's all fantastic reading and a good education for anyone unaware of Gisèle and the ups and down of a life well-lived.
