Minneapolis City Council Complains About Lack of Policing After Voting to Eliminate Police Department
Alex Nester
Just three months after voting to dismantle its police department, the Minneapolis City Council complained about the city's insufficient policing at a meeting on Tuesday.
According to the council members—who in June unanimously passed a measure that would disband the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a "department of community safety and violence prevention"—Minneapolis residents are witnessing an increase in homicides, assaults, carjackings, and other violent crimes.
Councilman Jamal Osman said police are leaving 911 calls from his constituents unanswered amid a violent crime spike in the city.
"Residents are asking, 'Where are the police?'" Osman said.
In a step toward dismantling the city's police department, the city council voted in July to cut $1.5 million in funding from the department. Minneapolis's community policing team said the cut ended an officer recruitment program that focused on hiring more people of color.
Violent crimes are on the rise this year in Minneapolis, according to police department data. More people have been murdered already in 2020 than all of 2019, and arsons have increased by 55 percent this year. At the same time, police officers are leaving the force at twice the normal rate this year.
The move to dismantle the city's police department faces some hurdles within city government before it reaches voters at the ballot box in November.
Discussions over reforming, defunding, and even dismantling police departments began after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in late May. The Portland City Council cut $15 million in funds from its police department in June. Last month, Carmen Best, Seattle's first black police chief, resigned after the Seattle City Council voted to defund her police department.

AP Valletta has been invited to take part in the Venice Biennale's 15th International Architecture Exhibition, from the 26th of May to 27th of November 2016.
Forming part of the prestigious cultural institution La Biennale di Venezia, the Architecture Biennale was first set up in 1975, relatively recent when comparing to the Biennale's century-long history. Today, the Venice Biennale captures a multitude of interest from around the globe and attracts over 370,000 international visitors. Under the directorship of the Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena, and entitled 'Reporting From The Front', the 15th International Architecture Exhibition will be about focusing and learning from architectures that through intelligence, intuition or both of them at the same time, are able to escape the status quo.
After the successful participation in the last edition, Fundamentals by Rem Koolhaas, AP has been invited by the Dutch non-profit Global Art Affairs Foundation to renew its involvement in 'Reporting from the front'. AP's proposal reflects our interest in investigating the phases that lead to those architectures able to escape the status quo, by focusing on memories. "Memory is the only hell we are condemned to in complete innocence" as Godard said in Nouvelle Vague. What are those memories that architects pursue often unknowingly and which feed the meanders of an arcane architectural process?
The installation is conceived as a cabinet of curiosities in which objects and images from AP's 25-years-old memory are brought into new spatial and temporal proximity, in order to report from Malta. Experimental processes are emphasised to encourage interaction and appropriation by the viewer.
The confines of an island-state are defined but potential is limitless, both in its reach for excellence and in its destructive power. On an island that has embraced (over) development, the consequence of a thriving modern economy, Architecture is very often on the frontline; standing against speculation and uncouth constructions.
Locally, therefore, Architecture is in need of a (re-)think, an exploration of its expressions and innate interrogations, its manifold shadows. Not a soul searching or a somewhat post-mortem justification, but more a laboratory, a field of experimentation and research, an unlimited inquiry into the contemporary paradigms that lay claim on the discipline from time to time. Architecture needs consciousness to maintain its specificity as social art. Architecture is, finally, confrontation, of itself with its context, a curated impromptu between a structured rendition and a poetic metaphor.
This project is supported by the Arts Council Malta through the Malta Arts Fund, Project Support Grant.
We would also like to thank our sponsor Reuben Lautier Natural Stone Workshop, artists Aaron Bezzina, Madeleine Gera, Aude Franjou and Alex Attard for contributing with their artworks to the theme developed in our cabinet of curiosities.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) with a crystalline modification of anatase is a semiconducting material which can be chemically activated by solor light or ultraviolet radiation, that is, has a photoactivity or photocatalysis. The beginning of practically applicable photocatalysis of TiO2 originates with a discovery of the photocatalytic splitting of water on TiO2 electrodes by two Japanese scientists, Fujishima and Honda in 1972. In the past ten years, the technology of TiO2 photocatalysis has progressed rapidly, and become very attractive in the applications of self-cleaning, air-cleaning and antibacterial effects in the construction industry. As a result, various construction materials are developed by utilizing the TiO2 photocatalysis at present.
The committee work will have the duration of five years. The committee will comprise about ten active members and about three to five corresponding members. The affiliations of the committee members will be approximately 40 to 50% academic, 30 to 40% industry and 10 to 20% practice. The committee work will be mainly conducted by bibliographical research and organizing an international symposium. The results of the committee work will be prepared as the-state-of-the art report and the symposium proceedings.
Construction materials with TiO2 photocatalyst will be environment-conscious materials, and contribute to sustainable development in the construction industry.

Trust in medicine in India
There is a trust deficit in prescribed medications in India, leading to higher engagement with traditional medicine, writes Matt Smith
Type-2 diabetes is rapidly emerging as a major threat to global human health, and a growing problem in India – with close to 80 million people living with the disease, much of the challenge lies in the treatment and medication, especially in rural areas.
"South Asians develop diabetes earlier in life than people in western countries, so it's important to assess what lifestyle risk factors are apparent, and how they manage their condition," says Dr Gupta, a lecturer in the School of Psychology and Public Health at La Trobe University. "Management of type-2 diabetes can vary greatly across India. Those living in urban areas generally eat more processed foods and exercise less than those in rural areas, which can aggravate their health issues."
Dr Gupta has been exploring the self-management practices of people living with type 2 diabetes in Karnataka, India. Working with Dr Jency Thomas, Dr Markandeya Jois and Dr Peter Higgs at La Trobe University, Dr Clarice Tang at the University of Western Sydney, and collaborating with JSS Medical College in India, the project interviews patients, carers and health professionals.
Despite being a leading producer of pharmaceuticals with a considerable market of generic medications, evidence suggests that people living with diabetes in India prefer treatment with traditional medications over western medications and will often self-medicate.
"There is a lot of trust in traditional medications across India, and it transcends socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, as they were often recommended by friends and family members," says Dr Gupta. "Traditional medications are perceived to have less side effects, less costly, and more readily available than western medications."
One aspect of the study looked at the prescription of medications, including the engagement with subsidised generic medications available to Indians depending on their financial situation.
"Subsidised medications available through programs such as 'Jan aushadhi' can address the issue regarding the cost of western medicines, but there is a lack of knowledge among local pharmacists on the scheduling of certain medications," says Dr Gupta. "Further regulation and education of health professionals is needed so that patients are confident that they're prescribed an appropriate and affordable medication."
A completed study review has highlighted that many participants were using traditional medications while simultaneously using western medications prescribed by their doctor. It is undetermined if traditional medications alone are sufficient to manage blood glucose levels.

I'm gay, Muslim, Persian and completely unstoppable
How one writer took his experiences with hate and made it into love. 🦄
by Amir Yassai |
Raymond Braun is the media personality changing the LGBTQ media landscape
Pride is for everyone and yes, that includes Republicans
Pride. It's a month out of the year where we reflect what being LGBTQ+ means and how we can not only uplift this community, but everyone else. The LGBTQ+ community has accomplished so much over the years, yes, but there's still so much ground to cover. Very Good Light is celebrating Pride Month through our very own Pride Week where we delve into diverse voices that push the boundaries of what being LGBTQ+ in 2018 means.
Coming out always seemed a lot easier in movies, such as Love Simon or Call me By Your Name where loving white parents scooped up their gay children in their arms and never looked back.
For the rest of the world, coming out is the single hardest thing they will ever have to do.
SEE ALSO: Sexual racism and when I finally had enough
My parents immigrated to the United States in 1979. I grew up in a gay community in Laguna Beach, California. From a young age, I knew deep down something was different about me. But it wasn't until I turned 26 that I came to terms with my sexuality. It was difficult to accept, as I was still practicing my Muslim faith and felt the lines between my dual identities starting to blur.
In retrospect, it's insane that I've been able to do so with an identity that most of the world seems to hate. I'm gay, Persian and Muslim.
None of my friends were altogether shocked when I came out to them because my flamboyant personality usually arrived five minutes before I did. The way I came out to my sister was priceless because I accidentally sent her an invite to a drag show in New York and she texted me back, "why are you sending me this?" She proceeded to ask me if I was exploring my sexuality, and lovingly gave me the space to come out to her. As she and the rest of my family began to get onboard, it catapulted me to the next level of understanding and ultimately, loving my own sexuality.
When you spend most of your life in a religious community that does not accept your true self it can be very demoralizing. I've been called "faggot" on the street, I've been told to kill myself, and yet I survived. In retrospect, it's insane that I've been able to do so with an identity that most of the world seems to hate. I'm gay, Persian and Muslim. Let that sink in for a moment.
As I became more comfortable with being gay, I decided to explore and embrace my sexuality. Of course, I had to go to a club in West Hollywood, California, the epicenter of gays in Los Angeles. Like a rite of passage, I entered the club, strobe lights flashed and hairless go-go boys danced in tight speedos. As I looked down at my dad body and hairy chest, it became painfully obvious to me that I was average compared to what this establishment deemed was beautiful: white, tan, muscular.
"Will you blow me up if I don't meet you for a drink?" to infer that I was terrorist.
When I came out, I thought I'd be promised an instant community of supporters. Instead, all I got was a group of cliquey, muscular men who were there to highlight my flaws. I'd quickly later realize the biggest problem with this community is the desire to gain conquests instead of find love. And this judgmental blend of racism and aggressive sexual energy isn't exhibited anywhere more prominently than on Grindr.
I downloaded the app in hopes of meeting someone who could help me connect with my sexuality. Instead, I'd be slapped with racism and rejection. As I was finding my gay identity I unknowingly dimmed my light to please other people. One privileged white guy said, "you're cute for a Persian guy." Another said, "Will you blow me up if I don't meet you for a drink?" to infer that I was terrorist. It was deeply painful.
There comes a moment in the life of a "baby gay" when enough is enough, and mine came in my mid-twenties. I was hooking up with a guy from Grindr and while we were together, I found him looking at the app, as if searching for something better. He proceeded to tell me that some guy was outside his apartment as if his bedroom was a doctor's office. It crushed me because I felt like just a number to him, just a conquest. Nothing more. In that moment I had a rude awakening.
Was this what gay life would always be? A series of expectations, disappointments and judgment?
In that moment, I vowed to respect and love myself enough to never be in a loveless situation. I decided to come out again, but this time with love, passion, and as the motherfucking unicorn I know I am. Connecting with my inner unicorn is a daily battle, but fighting to connect is crucial. Because there will always be someone hotter, taller, funnier, and more successful than you, but it's crucial that you know what you bring to the table. I know that I bring humor and an innate ability to help people be seen for who they truly are.
Find what it is inside you that makes you uniquely you, and expand on it until it becomes second nature. People mistakenly believe that confidence is a destination, when it's more of a process and something you have to work at every day. Believe me, I have days when I'm connected to my inner unicorn and days when I cannot reach her. The more in touch you are with your inner unicorn the easier it will be to love yourself and come out of that damn closet.
It's dusty in there, trust me it's more colorful out here.
My Instagram, @comingoutwithlove has one sole purpose and that is to extract every inner unicorn from anyone who is soul searching and exploring who they are. There is something beautiful that happens when you lean into who you were meant to be. Rise from the ashes of your former self and prance towards your new self. I promise you who you see on the other side of coming out will be someone you'll love so much and as RuPaul says, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?" Lean into love. Wake up with love. And end your day with love.
While coming out is a choice for everyone, in my case, I realize how fortunate I've been through my experiences. Being Persian, gay and Muslim is such a privilege and I'm so proud to be who I am.
Amir Yassai was born to a whimsical Persian family in Laguna Beach, CA. Coming out for him was not as easy as everyone thinks it was for him. If he's not styling in the streets in a kimono you can find him at a zoo or at the movies watching all the newest films. Find him @comingoutwithlove

Bianca Andreescu wins the Rogers Cup after Serena Williams Retires
Bianca Andreescu poses with Serena Williams during the trophy ceremony after winning the Rogers Cup final on Sunday in Toronto, Canada.
Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu has become the first women in Canada to win a final at the Rogers Cup in fifty years, all at the tender age of 19. It took only four matches in the first set before Serena Williams requested a medical timeout and a minute more before the umpire made the startling announcement that Williams has withdrawn from the final due to medical reasons.
The win gave Bianca Andreescu her second title of the season, and while it may not have been the way she wanted to win it, it counts. Commenting on the way things played out at the Aviva Centre, Andreescu said,
"I'm speechless right now. I'm the first Canadian who got to the finals and has won this tournament since 1969. This been a dream come true, really. This week has not been easy. I've had many many tough matches."
The Mississauga native has now gone undefeated in 17 matches with the exception of those she had to retire from. Those wins included seven which were against top seeded players, and with her win today, her world rank will jump thirteen positions to 14th. Her previous best was 22nd.
The win also puts Andreescu in the front runner position for winning the Lou Marsh Trophy, which is awarded to Canada's athlete of the year. She also jumps to the top for the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award, an award for the top female athlete of the year. Also on that list is Brooke Henderson, a Canadian golfer who has racked up two wins this season on the LPGA tour and with it, set a record for the most wins by a female Canadian golfer
The Rogers Cup win was the first tournament that Andreescu was playing in after taking time off to dealer with a shoulder injury she suffered in May during the French Open. Speaking on the last few months, Andreescu stated,
"What I've been through the past two months has not been easy. I kept telling myself 'never give up.' I'm trying to look at my injury not as a setback but more of a challenge. I tried to embrace it as much as I can."
This year's tournament saw Andreescu playing more hours of tennis than any other player. Going into the final, she had already played nearly eleven hours, and in total, played 11 hour, 10 minutes after the final came to a stop a mere 16 minutes after it started. After learning that Williams had elected to retire, Andreescu began to cry after being overcome with emotion. She immediately went to Serena Williams, gave her a hug her and told the former No.1 player how she admires her. Commenting on her retirement Williams said,
"I'm not a crier, but, thank you guys. I'm sorry I couldn't do it today. I tried but I just couldn't do it, but thanks to Jehovah for letting me even come out here today. Bianca, you're a great sportswoman."
This retirement was yet another in a series of injuries the star player has endured since returning to tennis after the birth of her daughter. It was also one of several that also saw Simona Halep withdrawing during her quarterfinal match against Marie Bouzkova. The women now will head to the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, Ohio for the next stop on the WTA circuit. Whether Andreescu or Williams will attend in unknown, but for tennis punters, the tournament offers some good opportunities to place bets with respected Canadian tennis betting sportsbooks offering action on the Western & Southern Open.

The Ring – Screenplay
By Script PipelineOctober 25, 2019April 5th, 2020No Comments
Because of Halloween, October is the unofficial horror movie month (though, really, it's our opinion that you can—and should—enjoy them all year round). Released in 2002, The Ring kicked off the early-aughts trend of PG-13 adaptations of Asian horror movies, and it remains one of the scariest movies of this century.
Directed by Gore Verbinski and written by Ehren Kruger (with revisions by Scott Frank), The Ring is an Americanized remake of Hideo Nakata's Ringu. The story follows Rachel Keller (an always amazing Naomi Watts), a reporter who investigates the origins of a cursed video tape after her (and, later, her son) watch it and receive the creepiest phone call of all time: A raspy voice whispering, "Seven days." What follows are a series of well-executed set pieces that rely more generating dread than surprising its audience with empty jump scares.
As a screenplay, The Ring is perhaps the best written horror script in the last twenty years. Don't believe me? Just read the opening scene. The language paints a clear, cinematic picture of the movie as it slowly ratchets up the suspense over its opening pages. Structurally, it's also a brilliant scene. Crafting a horror set piece is similar to writing a joke: You begin with a set up and build to a punchline, which typically pivots the joke in a new direction. The opening scene is structured the same way. Kruger, Frank, and Verbinski set the expectation that something terrible will happen to Katie or Becca, and what follows are a series of misdirects that add to the suspense, provide a few moments of levity, and ultimately lead to a horrific "punchline" of sorts that sets the stage for the rest of the movie. It's effective, and it's one of the reasons why The Ring still remains so well regarded today.
By this point, you've probably seen The Ring (and if you haven't, get on it), but it's definitely worth checking out the script. It's a masterclass in how to write effective visuals and build suspense.

Whether you're a tea person or a coffee lover, you probably know that herbal tea is good for your health. These following brews we wish to present to you can completely change your perception of herbal tea and its health benefits. Herbal teas, in definition, are pure tea mixes that do not contain harmful additives, as they are made solely from specific, well-known plants. The four brews we chose to present here have many different beneficial attributes and can help to rid the body of various toxins. So get your cups ready and put the kettle on, you're in for a healthy treat!
It is widely known that green tea is good for your health, but not everyone knows why. A surprising benefit of that popular brew is dissolving adipose tissues quickly and efficiently. While there are multiple compounds in Green Tea that can help you lose weight, EGCG is the main antioxidant that burns off calories, and also protects the body from the harmful effects of free radicals. But don't overdo it! Like all good things, Green Tea should be consumed in moderation. Three to four cups of this herbal brew every week are all that's needed to speed up the liver's fat-burning capabilities and make your metabolism more efficient. A healthy lifestyle and mild exercise such as walking once a day for 20 to 30 minutes can enhance the fat burning effects of Green Tea and help you get that slim body even faster.
White tea contains a high amount of antioxidants which help in preventing premature signs of aging as well as fighting cancer cells from weakening your body. Various researches found that high levels of white tea can be used to trigger cancer cell death in vital organs such as the lungs. This herbal brew can also make your immune system more resistant to cancer cells in the colon among other organs. In addition, when taken in a high quantity, white tea can also significantly reduce the spreading of these harmful cells and help prevent migration to other parts of the body. While it is not possible to consume extremely high amounts of white tea for most people, adding a cup of this herbal tea to your daily diet can help immensely. It probably goes without saying that quitting certain harmful habits such as consuming tobacco can help protect your body from this severe disease.
Black tea is included in our list of herbal tea health benefits for various reasons, especially its ability to utilize existing resources within our body to make us live healthier. When consumed without any sugar or other sweeteners, black tea was found to be successful in enhancing the use of natural insulin present in the human body. Various case studies indicate that when consumed in high quantities, this well-loved brew can ensure that the human body uses the natural insulin levels present in the bloodstream, 15 times more efficiently than before. Although consuming high levels of black tea is not recommended, adding a cup of unsweetened tea to your daily dietary routine as well as exercising through brisk walks is definitely our recommended way of keeping yourself safe from type two diabetes.
It is well-known that a restless mind can cause mild insomnia in people of all ages, and that being overwhelmed with incessant thoughts may lead to anxiety as well as mild depression. Valerian tea is derived from the Valerian herb and can help cure mild insomnia while giving you sound sleep. This sweet-smelling tea should ideally be consumed in small quantities of 300 to 600 milligrams. Consuming this quantity mixed with a cup of hot water before bedtime can help you sleep well and wake up fresh the next day. While there are many ideologies on the recommended frequency of drinking Valerian Tea, it is considered safe to consume this tea every night for a maximum of 4 weeks at a stretch. If this nighttime tea is consumed on a sporadic and need-only basis, then it can be consumed for a while longer.
A Cup A Day Can Make A Difference!
Studies indicate that the ideal way to ensure that herbal tea concoctions give you the desired results is by altering your lifestyle to suit your needed goals. This does not mean that you have to change your habits completely! Making small and sustainable changes, such as adding a cup of a healthy brew to your daily diet can help you stay motivated and create a big change over time.

ARTIST INTERVIEW: Alexa Wilding
EXCLUSIVE | Interviews
Nicole Ortiz
New York songstress Alexa Wilding has an upcoming EP Wolves, which sees a transition from her previously more airy folk music. We sat down and talked about where her inspiration came from for the piece, as well as what sort of transition we can expect from her past work. After taking a few years off from music, Alexa realized the pull toward this art form was stronger than she had previously acknowledged, and she found herself creating music when she needed an outlet. It also provided her with a chance to really focus on herself. This is an EP that saw her through a difficult time in her life—when one of her children was diagnosed with cancer—and both its name and content reflect the changes Alexa underwent.
Read on below for an interview with her, and keep an eye out for Wolves, which is due to release on July 8.
AudioFemme: Tell me about your musical history, are any of your family members involved in music?
Alexa Wilding: Yeah, I come from a pretty ridiculously arty family. My dad's parents were well known opera singers. My mom's an actress, my dad still is a filmmaker, my grandmother was a painter, so needless to say—and my aunt was a ballet dancer—we're sort of an arty bunch. And music played a pretty big role in my childhood and in my family's culture really.
What inspired you to create your new EP Wolves?
Sort of circumstances I never ever thought I'd be writing a record in. I had twins in 2013. They're going to be three next month. And unfortunately—well, things are fine now, but my son Lou went through cancer treatment. So the record was written in the most unlikely of places. He's fine, which is really good for him.
That's such a relief.
Yeah, it was crazy. It was really crazy. But you know, becoming a new mother, I wasn't really sure, like am I going to keep doing music? It's all I've ever done, but I was just so sapped creatively from the wild psychedelia of being a new mother and then we were thrown into this crisis. And basically what it meant was weeks on end for six months, we basically lived in the hospital. We switched off nights, my husband and I, so my son at home always had a parent.
But for the first round, I was in such a state of shock that I wouldn't be able to sleep. I would just stare out the window at the East River and be like, "Where am I? How did this happen?" I was so terrified. Then by the second round, I don't know what happened, but I said, "Okay, that's it, Alexa. You need to carve some space for yourself." So I turned to what I always turned to, which is music. I wrote the songs on Wolves on a toy piano borrowed from the hospital playroom.
It was wild. And while my son slept and healed, the songs just came. And mostly it was an escape for me. Like when I tell people that I wrote the songs in these unusual circumstances, they're like, "Oh my God, this must be a really depressing cancer record." And I'm like, "Actually there isn't even a mention of what was going on."
I so needed an escape, and what I did was I really focused on a time in my life right before I became a mother. That year I was touring nonstop and different relationships were kind of coming in and out of my life, so the record was sort of making peace with some of those loose ends, things that were put on hold to become a mother. And by doing that, I was able to become present.
Pediatricians always joke when you become a parent, and they're like, "You know, you're a parent, you need to put the oxygen mask on you first and then your kid." And I was always like, "What the hell does that mean?" But that's kind of what I did. So it was very surreal to leave this six-month experience with a cancer-free child, which is obviously the most important thing, but also as an artist, to have these songs that were ready to go. And it was very reaffirming after taking a few years off to be like I don't really have a choice. I guess making albums is just what I do.
That's awesome. I'm so glad he's okay.
Thank you! Me too, me too.
So what does your ideal audience to this EP look like?
That's a good question. People have joked about me that my following are a small but dedicated circle of very well-dressed people. I was like, okay, yeah, I like that. I feel like this record in particular is my most accessible one to date. But, that said, it's the one I find most interesting. So I hope I haven't sacrificed any of the oddness by having my first full-band record. I think that women in particular, hopefully, will relate to it. I am definitely a 90s kid, so I came of age with Lilith Fair. Kim Deal was like my hero, and Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan. Ya know, we all laugh because Sarah McLachlan is so dorky now, but I was listening to her recently when I was on a job, and I was like, "This is good stuff. Everyone's got to chill out about this. She changed history."
Yeah, I agree. There's something about it where you're like, this isn't really a guilty pleasure because I'm not guilty about this.
Yeah, that makes sense! Totally. I loved all that stuff. So I am unabashedly saying and hoping to carry on that tradition of women who, ya know, wrote good songs and knew how to play their instruments and told stories that were very personal to the female experience. And that said, you know, I think more men are actually hopefully going to like the record, too, because it has a masculine side to it as well. It's really—and this is really stereotypical—but it's really trying to move. Which I wanted, because the whole idea with Wolves was be like, here are these feminine stories that I was trying to summon up in myself, like the wolf, to have the strength to handle my experience. With most of the record, there's a softness to it, but to be totally blunt, the joke we made in the studio was always, "Boobs and balls, boobs and balls: They have to be in direct proportion, in an even balance."
So I feel like it's my toughest record, in a weird way. And I'm really proud of that because I was getting really sick of, ya know, before and people saying, "Oh, it's just a girl picking her guitar. La-di-da."
Right, yeah, that's kind of insulting.
Or you get up to play a show and people would immediately look at you and before you started and be like, "I know what I'm in for." And that used to make me crazy. I'm hoping it'll reach a wider audience, and it's not just the freaky folk thing anymore. When I wrote it, I was listening to a lot of radio and having fun playing with melodies for the first time in a way that I was like, "I want everyone to like this song!" Even the person who's just tapping their foot, they'll get that out of it.
Is there anything you're hoping that your fans will take away from this piece?
Yeah, I mean obviously I can't divorce the story of the circumstances in which it was written from the music. And my fans were so supportive during our crisis. Ben Lee, who's a friend, did fundraising for us. So many of my friends used their celebrity to sort of help us. And the story, despite myself, got a lot of attention. And I was really happy to share our story with different media outlets. Because, as Ben said when he started—he did a Plumfund—because something people don't realize is that I was like, "I'm not fundraising. What will people think? We have insurance! Blah blah blah." But a medical crisis like that really wreaks havoc. Things you don't even think about, like going to take cabs to and from the hospital every day. So that was really a lifesaver. But what he said was, "They are us. This could happen to any of us." And what I'm hoping people get from it is the importance of holding onto yourself during a crisis, whether or not you are a parent. I don't want to isolate or alienate fans who are not parents, but at the same time I'm pretty sure the record will hold a special place. It really has touched a lot of mothers, at least in New York City a lot of mothers have started following me during this crisis.
But what I hope fans take away from it is the idea that we can make friends with parts of ourselves that we used to be. I think that's a lot of what the record is about. I talk a lot about different relationships. There's one song, "Road Song," in which it's kind of a cinematic song. I mean, it's basically a woman saying that she wants to be with somebody who's with somebody. And that was a really scary song for me to write. I had to sort of make peace with that part of myself. We all have that.
I know I'm talking to a female music blog right now so I can say this, but I think it's very hard for women to talk about their desire. Men are allowed to say, "I want that!" Or, "I want her!" Or, "I want to go on the road with my rock and roll band." And nobody really thinks twice about it. And when it comes to women, we have a harder time talking about that. So for me, this record dealt with a lot of love as issues. Like with wolves. Like why can't that person step up and do what the wolves do and be my partner? Why can't I step up? In "Road Song," it's like I want that—I want what he has. And "Durga," the last song, the lover is disappointed in the fact that her partner is not leaving his easel to tend to her needs. So like, all these little stories, these little snippets. Also, there's this song called "Black" that's a really small song where I just talk about going to a dark place. As women, especially as mothers, we're not allowed to talk about wanting to go to a dark place. We're supposed to just keep it together and lay low, so I think I was dealing with a lot of those questions on the record.
That makes a lot of sense. There is that weird expectation, especially with a mother, if you say anything is wrong, people are like, "She can't handle motherhood."
Exactly! I was even worried, like what are people going to think? She wrote this record about her son? It's like what I was dealing with, and people were doubting me. It's because I wrote a record that I was able to mother him. We're so judgmental. And women are the worst!
I read a quote recently, a female filmmaker had a really bad interview where she had a movie come out and the interviewer kind of bashed her, and it was a fellow female. And she wrote an open letter defending her films, and in it she said, there's a famous quote, I forget who said it: "There's a special place in hell for women who don't support other women." I love that. All about the sisterhood!
Definitely. So since you feel you're kind of switching genres, is there any genre that you now feel like you fit into better?
I definitely was sort of occupying—I mean, I was told I was occupying more of a freak folk, folky, flower crowns thing. And I love a flower crown, but I really want to be moving more into just singer/songwriter. And someone like Natalie Merchant is incredible, as sort of the godmother of this sort of genre. People that I normally look up to in my own sort of circle. Also, Adler is incredible; I love her stuff. She's somebody who made really spooky folk music and is now sort of standing her sound. I see this in a lot of my peers. Merchant has really taken off, which is so good for all of us, but I see it in our circle, and we are really moving away from the pigeonhole of "girl with a guitar." And I still, I mean, it's so cliché, but I still hear in interviews or after shows, "Oh my God, you were so incredible. I can't believe you play your own instruments!" It's just wild. That still exists.
You'd think we'd moved away from that already. So is there any specific song that you feel more of a connection with than the others?
My favorite song on the record—I mean, I have a couple—but there's this song called "Stars," it's the fourth song, that I really love because it was just such an example of my escaping. It was a memory of being on the road, and I talked about being by the Rockies and the clear skies and the sadness I felt because I was so trapped as I was writing it. I really love that song. The line is, "Sometimes the sky throws a handful of stars in your way." For me that sort of sums up the whole thing: that life really takes these crazy, wild turns, but you can really get through them in a magical way if you consider the circumstances with the same wonder and curiosity as you would a good situation. So I really tried to do that during my son's crisis. And people would say during it, "How are you so together? How are you so cheerful?" And I would just wake up every day and I'd wash my face and I'd put on a nice dress and try to make everything look nice and do my best and have the same curiosity toward a bad day as you would a good day, which sounds really Pollyanna, but it really takes fucking guts. And I'm in awe of some of the people who really inspired me to summon up the wolf woman. The she-wolf.
That sounds amazing. What do you have planned for the future right now?
So we're releasing Wolves in July, and I'm really only playing a limited amount of shows just because I'm with my kids right now and the logistics of three-year-old twins. I don't know, I am a bit of an overachiever, but I have to sort of draw the line. I'm still going to do what I can to share the songs with the world. And I'm actually beginning the next record, which will be a full-length record. I'm really excited about that. And also, I'm writing a book, basically about the whole experience.
If you could perform at one venue, existent or nonexistent, which one would you choose?
Oh my gosh. One venue. As a New Yorker, I would kill to perform at the Beacon. That's a real dream of mine. Or Carnegie Hall. I saw Suzanne Vega do something there a few years ago, and she couldn't help herself and said, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice!"
But my one regret is that, before becoming a mother, I didn't tour in Europe. And I really look forward to doing that in the future. In particular, I just want to play in Paris. That would be a really happy, happy night.
What besides creating music do you do as a hobby? Do you have anything that kind of forms your identity?
Yes, so mother/musician/writer. I'm quiet about my writing, just because music is so in your face. But I write and read constantly. I'm a real bookworm.
Do you have any musical milestones that you're working toward adamantly?
For me, the biggest milestone is that I'd really love to have a label or a team behind me. I've been doing this by myself for so long, and I've never really found the right fit or didn't ask for what I wanted or didn't have that sort of fateful connection happen yet. And while I know those relationships can be very fraught, whether it's label or manager, I'm really ready to put the proper team behind what I'm doing simply so we can reach more people with the music. I want it to happen in a natural way, but I'm just hoping I can continue to. And I'm sort of coming back after a long time. And it's might be a bit of a slow ride, but I'm realizing that my ambition is much greater than I ever thought it was. Again, another thing as a woman is that we're not really supposed to be like, "I want to take over the world!" But I really want my music to reach everyone.
Nicole is a New Yorker born and raised who is always searching for new music to dance to. Music has been her obsession since she was thirteen and hopped into a circle pit at a local ska show for the first time. When not writing about shows and other circumstances in her life, Nicole can be found riding her sexy pink bike, cuddling up with her cat, or trying to find something to explore in Brooklyn.

Many of the stories found in Kwaidan, "stories and studies of strange things," are based on Japanese tales of long ago told to him by his wife; others possibly have a Chinese origin. All have been re-colored and reshaped by Hearn's inimitable hand. Some critics attribute Hearn's fascination with eerie tales to his partial blindness. Whatever its roots, he was clearly drawn to the hidden realms of the spirit world and to strange facts and marvels. In this collection of unforgettably haunting stories, Hearn brings together "the meeting of three ways"-the austere dreams of India, the subtle beauty of Japan and the relentless science of the Western world.
Lafcadio Hearn
Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) was born on the Greek island of Lefkas, the son of an Anglo-Irish surgeon in the British army and a Greek mother. After his parent's divorce when he was six, he was brought up in Dublin by a great aunt. At the age of nineteen, he went to America, eventually ending up in New Orleans as a newspaper reporter. His flight from Western materialism brought him to Japan in 1890, where he worked for an English newspaper, the Kobe Chronicle, and taught in various schools. In 1896, he began teaching English literature at Tokyo Imperial University, a position he held until 1903, and at Waseda University. Hearn married a samurai's daughter, Koizumi Setsu, became a Japanese citizen and a Buddhist and changed his name to Koizumi Yakumo. At the young age of 54, he died of a heart attack. Hearn's search for beauty and tranquility, for pleasing customs and lasting values, made him a confirmed Japanophile. His keen intellect, poetic imagination, and wonderful clear style permitted him to penetrate to the very essence of things Japanese. He became the great interpreter of things Japanese to the West. Hearn's most famous work is a collection of lectures entitled Japan: An Attempt at Interpretation (published posthumously in 1905). His other books on Japan include Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan (1894), Out of the East (1895), Kokoro (1896), Gleanings in Buddha Fields (1897), Exotics and Retrospectives (1898), In Ghostly Japan (1899), Shadowings (1900), and A Japanese Miscellany (1901).

New in QuickBooks Enterprise 14.0 Client/Accountant Collaboration!
We have all been there. Something has come up with a clients transaction, and we spend the next 4 hours trying to play phone tag, describe the transaction, get the clients input etc, etc, etc.
Now, there is. In QuickBooks Enterprise 14.0 there is Client/Accountant Collaboration built into the software.
QBA Plus users (including QuickBooks ProAdvisors®) have exclusive access to the new Client Collaborator feature, a great tool designed to solve many of the challenges accounting professionals encounter when dealing with their clients.
For example, the accountant can now contact the client directly through the client's QuickBooks' file to inquire about a particular transaction. The interactions and conversations are tracked and linked to specific transactions, so the accountant always has a point of reference. These interactions between the accountant and client are stored on a secure server and accessed online, ensuring that nothing is lost. This new feature, which transcends the world of desktop accounting and touches on cloud computing, eliminates the need to keep track of disparate email strings and trying to remember what specific transaction was being discussed. All discussions are linked and accessible.
Here's how the Client Collaborator works: the accountant selects the Ask Question icon on the right of the menu bar to contact the client through QuickBooks. Selecting this icon enables the accountant to tie the question directly to this transaction within the client's file.
The client opens their copy of the company file in their-non accountant version (such as Pro) and then selects View Conversation List from the Company menu.
The accountant can document what he or she did for each transaction and view it all in the Transaction Conversation window. To close a Transaction Conversation, simply click the Close button.
The accountant's client will need a version of QuickBooks 2014 to use this feature; an Internet connection is required for both parties.


King Felipe and Queen Letizia, as other members of the Royal Family, have dramatically cut down on their public appearances for summer vacation.
Their Majesties, along with Queen Sofia, have spent time at Marivent Palace in Palma de Mallorca plus hosted a dinner for the Balearic Islands community at nearby Almudaina Palace.
Spending time in Mallorca is a decades-old tradition for the Spanish royals. Queen Sofia is particularly fond of her stays and likes to interact with her grandkids.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia greet the crowd.
King Felipe also kept with tradition by handing out awards for the King's Cup regatta.
Earlier this month the King hosted his weekly meeting with Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy at Marivent.
It has also become a tradition for the King and Queen, and their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, to greet members of the press during a photo-op.
Media outlets say King Juan Carlos did not spend time in Mallorca. Instead he was spotted in Saint Tropez.
Don Juan Carlos was also seen at a bullfight in San Sebastian with Infanta Elena, who was spotted in Mallorca in recent weeks.


1. Hey, I was thinking about you earlier. Do you want to get pizza?
2. Hey, I'd definitely like to get together next week. Do you want to get pizza?
3. Hey, it would be really great to see you and catch up. Do you want to get pizza?
4. Hey! It would be absolutely wonderful to see you! Do you want to get pizza? I'm so excited!
The correct answer is—drumroll—the second one. It's in the Goldilocks zone of email tonality: not too positive, not too negative, not flat-out neutral. Just right.
That's according to a new analysis by the email-efficiency service Boomerang. The company anonymized and aggregated data from more than 5.3 million messages, and figured out which qualities made an email most likely to prompt a response.
Back to all those pizza emails: The first one was too neutral. The third one was better than the first one but not as good as the second one. And the fourth one? Not bad, but not the best. Too enthusiastic is about as effective as seeming emotionless.
So, you know, play it cool. But not too cool. Also, no need to write long. The optimum length for an email is 50 to 125 words.
Which reminds me: I'm up past 450 words in this article so far. Pretty short, journalistically speaking. But if this were an email, it would probably already be in the trash.

Jill Stein: US Politics Are 'The Mother Of All Illnesses,' Third Parties Could Be Cure
Posted in Archive, Journalism, and MintPress News
WASHINGTON — In a recent TV appearance, Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein insisted that American politics, and the nation, are gravely ill.
Interviewed on Monday by Abby Martin, host of The Empire Files on TeleSur English, Stein said that she became a politician, after years as a physician, because she realized that "our democracy is really on life support."
Despite being the fourth largest party in terms of registered voters, Green Party candidates are virtually shut out of elections, only appearing on the ballots in 20 states. During her 2012 campaign, Stein was arrested while trying to gain access to the presidential debates.
"The political establishment has no credibility, and they are terrified that we the people would start to get together outside the two corporate parties," she told Martin.
She described "two political parties funded by predatory banks and fossil fuel giants and war profiteers."
Martin agreed with this view, stating in her introduction that, "Despite their differences, both parties are united around the interests of Wall Street and militarism."
During their conversation, Stein described her path from doctor to political activist:
I used to say I practiced clinical medicine, now I say I practice political medicine, because it's the mother of all illnesses. And we have to fix this one if we're going to fix the things that are literally killing us.
As a doctor, she saw falling life expectancies in her patients and an alarming rise in life-threatening illnesses like Diabetes, and realized that those problems were inextricably linked to growing poverty and inequality and the collapse of the climate.
"We have a society here that's not going to make it and the ultimate yardstick is the collapse of the climate," she explained.
Stein believes third parties, including the Green Party, are key to curing what ails democracy. She recalled Roosevelt's New Deal programs of the 1930s: although they were implemented by a Democrat, she explained that the pressure for their creation came from many smaller political movements and third parties, ranging from communists to organized farm workers.
"Everyday working people forced the hand of the Democratic Party which then began to adopt that agenda," she said.
Now Stein envisions what she calls a "Green New Deal," which would radically alter the U.S. economy by drastically cutting the defense budget and reallocating those funds into renewable energy. Going further than any other candidates' job creation plan, it calls for total employment, with every American who can work receiving a job in building or developing green energy.
She told Martin that cutting dependence of fossil fuels would also promote world peace by removing much of the motivation behind Western imperialism and expansion. "We can put our resources back into creating jobs and a livable climate right here at home, which is the source of true security."
While Stein praised some of the policies of Bernie Sanders, she stressed that they don't go far enough, and that the Democratic Party has a "kill switch" to keep him from winning the election, including the undemocratic use of superdelegates.
"It's a fake left while the party goes right," she said, adding, "the lesser evil that we're told to abide by really just paves the way to the greater evil."
Stein condemned voting against a candidate you fear instead of for one that you passionately support.
"In a nutshell, the politics of fear have delivered everything we're afraid of. In supporting the lesser evil, we silence the progressive agenda. Silence is not an effective political strategy."
Dr Stein's prescription?
We need to stand up and fight for the greater good like our lives depend on it.
