Bible museum planned for Washington, D.C.
(RNS) — A large-scale Bible museum will open in Washington, D.C., within four years, say planners who have been touring the world with portions of their collection.
Cary Summers, chief operating officer of The Museum of the Bible, a nonprofit umbrella group for the collection of the billionaire Green family of Oklahoma, said they considered Washington, Dallas and New York but decided the nation's capital was the best location. The final name of the museum and its exact location have not been disclosed but planners hope to confirm a location later this summer.
Research they commissioned found that the general population was more willing to travel to the nation's capital for a Bible-focused museum than the other two cities, Summers said.
"In reality, the population base within that eight-to-10 hour drive of D.C. represents half the U.S. or two-thirds and there's a lot of Christians in that group," he said July 10.
Summers, who has been a consultant on the Creation Museum's planned life-size Noah's Ark in Kentucky, said the Bible museum will charge admission. Although the museums of the Smithsonian Institution are free, he noted that the Newseum and the Spy Museum both charge admission and have been successful.
A sampling of the Bible museum's offerings — from the collection of more than 40,000 artifacts — have been displayed in the Passages Exhibit at the Vatican and in Oklahoma City and Atlanta and will soon appear in Charlotte, N.C.
Summers said the traveling exhibit recreates at 80 percent scale the chamber of London's Westminster Abbey where the King James Version of the Bible was written. A full-scale recreation is planned for the museum.
Steve Green, president of the Hobby Lobby arts and crafts chain and a Southern Baptist, said the museum will feature the history, contents and influence of the Bible but will leave it up to visitors to decide whether to believe the holy book.
"When we present the evidence, I think it's going to be compelling for somebody to say, 'Wow, this is a compelling book. I might want to consider what it has to say,' " he said.

Marine phytoplankton forms the basis of the food web in the ocean. Phytoplankton is invisible to the naked eye however, under certain conditions, these micro-algae can actually be seen from a space satellite. According to NASA, phytoplankton produces between 50% and 90% of the oxygen in the air that we breathe, depending on the seasons. It also absorbs most of the C02 in the atmosphere, helping to maintain a balanced ecosystem which is essential for all life and a healthy planet. More than 99% of all creatures that live in the ocean depend, either directly or indirectly, on this phytoplankton for their survival. The present study describes almost 300 phytoplankton species from the North Sea around Helgoland and Sylt which are illustrated with around 1100 images and 70 line drawings on 85 plates. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of marine phytoplankton of North Sea ecosystems.

At the conference International Conference on Organic Farming ICOF which was held in April 2010 in Sudan, several papers on the current situation of organic farming in this country were presented.The collection of abstracts furthermore contains a number of papers on production related issues.
The paper 'Towards a National Organic Agriculture Program in the Sudan' by Kamal E-Siddig & Abdelmagid Elmubarak of the Agricultural Research Corporation gives insight into the history and the current situation and needs for policy action in Sudan.
According to this paper, the formal organic sector in the Sudan remains relatively underdeveloped and statistics concerning its status are often difficult to find. "However, the traditional agricultural subsector, which is a de facto low external input system, offers a huge potential for the development of organic agriculture. Serious steps towards the adoption of organic agriculture began in 2001 with the inception of the Organic Agriculture Program (OAP), funded by the Arab Authority for Agriculture Investment and Development (AAAID) and implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MOAF). The Sudanese Society for Organic Agriculture (SSOF) organized a series of workshops between 2004-2006 to create awareness about organic farming among producers, consumers and policy makers. The Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) supports a project to promote the exports of organic bananas from Sudan and Ethiopia to the Middle East and Europe. The Sudanese Standards and Meteorology Organization (SSMO) have also been instrumental in pursuing some organic agriculture-related activities. In spite of all these initiatives, the country still lacks national policies and regulatory frameworks for organic agriculture.
The government, through the Agricultural Revival Program (ARP), is committed to promoting organic farming in the country. However, the instruments are inadequate and not well integrated. Inadequate research, extension services and manpower especially on production and marketing information and input supply have hindered promotion. Organic product legislation, standardization, certification and infrastructure are also major issues of policy concerns.
A policy in the form of a National Framework is a necessity for the organic sector to flourish and realize its potentials. The Framework is to outline key approaches and strategies to promote organic farming in the country. Formulation of National Standards of Organic Agriculture Production and Processing will be an important step to help organic producers, promoters and certifiers to contribute to organic production and processing. The Framework is to advocate establishing organic famers' groups and pilot activities in areas of high potentials. Development of organic markets, both internal and external, should be seen as crucial to promotion of organic farming."
The paper 'Assessment of Potentialities of Organic Agriculture in Sudan Within The last Five years' by Saada N. A. ELmahi of the Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Institute (MAPRI), National Centre for Research and Saifeldin, and M. El-Amin of the College of Agricultural studies, Sudan University of Science and Technology, analyzes the main constraints to the sector's developement.
"Over the last five years, a common understanding on organic agriculture as a sustainable mode of production has strongly grown among the Sudanese community. Furthermore, the importance of this type of production is progressively enhanced amongst researchers and academicians. In July 2005 a study on the potentialities of Sudan in organic agriculture was conducted, to assess the situation and acceptance of the concept amongst stakeholders, individuals and institutes. The study indicated that the concept of organic agriculture is fully accepted by the targeted groups The importance of organic agriculture in achieving self sufficiency, rural development and its contribution to the reduction of cost of production were ascertained. Most of the organizations (71.4 percent), are dealing with the definition of organic agriculture under the name of sustainable agriculture, and 46.7 percent were adopting and supporting or promoting traditional agriculture as a non-certified organic agriculture system. Some of them adopted the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods. The study also showed that no regulations were in vogue in Sudan, and the existing agricultural legislations had no effect on organic production especially in the storage, processing and the transfer stages. But, 75 percent of the available legislations supported the marketing of agricultural organic products. The lack of a strategic plan to develop organic agriculture in the Sudan was also apparent. One of the constraints was the absence of an authorized body to register and certify the Sudanese organic products, albeit that most of the products are produced traditionally and naturally using no or low synthetic inputs. It was revealed that 72 percent of the productive institutions employed organic fertilizers, 36% used herbicides and 57 percent adopted the IPM methods, while 25.8 perecent were using organic substances and the same percent using chemicals.
Main constraints facing the adoption of organic production in Sudan are defined as, lack of awareness and know–how, weakness of agricultural extension and lack of coordination between the relevant agricultural institutions. Currently, assessment of the situation is reassessed within same institutions using the same questionnaire samples with few modifications. This paper aims at studying the progression in the organic agriculture movement in Sudan and the development occurring during the last five years. This will be achieved by surveying targets from academic and research institutes. The results are be compared by the one achieved five years ago."
According to the latest survey on organic agriculture world-wide, in Sudan 65'000 hectares of agricultural land are manged organically, this constitutes 0.05 percent of the country's agricultural land.


sport: Barzetti: Quarta sconfitta consecutiva in trasferta.
Seconda sconfitta consecutiva per la Barzetti, battuta per 80-78 a Correggio.
I biancorossi, privi di Matteo Panichi tenuto precauzionalmente a riposo per un leggero infortunio, hanno comunque reso vita dura ai padroni di casa, per i quali la conquista dei due punti era fondamentale per sperare ancora in un posto nei play-off.
Almeno a tratti si è infatti vista la miglior Barzetti, sopratutto nel secondo quarto nel quale i ragazzi di coach Badioli hanno toccato il massimo vantaggio ( + 12 ). Al rientro in campo dopo l'intervallo però gli emiliani hanno cambiato marcia cominciando a colpire anche dalla linea dei 6.25. Proprio i tiri da tre punti di Pierich e Boselli hanno consentito ai locali prima il riavvicinamento e poi il sorpasso anche se nei secondi finali i senigalliesi hanno avuto l'occasione di portare la gara al supplementare ma una palla persa ha causato la sconfitta.
BARZETTI SENIGALLIA: Mirco Pierantoni 14, Danilo Del Cadia 19, Marco Paialunga 2, Cristian Corsini 19, Michele Ferri 4, Matteo Panichi 0, Sergio Maddaloni 0, Matteo Marinelli 0, Matteo Minelli 10, Amedeo Filippetti 10, William Serfilippi 0, Nicolò Durazzi 0.

Tom Provenzano March 28, 2013
Judy Garland's legendary triumphs and tragedies, dish and dirt have been chronicled so often and in so many forms, it would seem no nuance is left to be unearthed. Then there is Tracie Bennett, a performer whose colossal vocal and emotional power in End of the Rainbow pull us eagerly into a known quantity of expected bathos, then without warning sheds sentiment in favor of caustic reality, portraying Garland as less a victim than vicious miscreant. In the last year of her life, broke and desperate, the star leans on her new young fiancé,Mickey Deans (a perfectly tacky Erik Heger), to whom she is simultaneously delightfully brittle, cruel and irresistible as he arranges her last-chance gig — a five-week concert run in London. At her side also is accompanist Anthony (smartly played by Michael Cumpsty), who represents her enormous gay following. The two men alternately join forces and skirmish, attempting to keep Garland clean, sober and stage-ready. Peter Quilter's lean and piercing script leaves little room for the maudlin, focusing instead on Garland's extremely sharp wit and lifelong addict's tricks to stay one step ahead of her keepers at all times. Masterful director Terry Johnson keeps the cast tightly connected to the material while allowing his star to soar in her myriad musical numbers, both in messy rehearsals with Anthony and during her bright moments in front of packed houses. Music director Jeffrey Saver and his band consummately create those moments through Chris Egan's classic orchestrations and the simple brilliance of Bennett's performance.
Tuesdays-Fridays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 2 & 8 p.m.; Sundays, 1 & 6:30 p.m. Starts: March 20. Continues through April 21, 2013

← A part of Arlington will forever be South African
42% of South Africans serving in WW1 were "non-white" →
The sinking of the 'City of Johannesburg'
The submarine "U Boat" menace of the Second World War became commonly known as the "Battle of the Atlantic", but it also extended to all oceans and the strategic point rounding the South African Cape became a focus point of the submarine war and German attention – and subsequently the attention of The South African Navy and her British Allies.
A typical example of the danger, survival and sacrifice in South African waters is the story of the sinking of the "City of Johannesburg" by German submarine U-504 (seen in the featured image above). U-504 was a Type IXC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II, the SS City of Johannesburg was a merchant vessel carrying supplies off the coast of East London, South Africa.
Of the merchantmen on board the SS City of Johannesburg, 90 in total, 4 perished and there where 86 survivors. Their survival in open water is remarkable considering the conditions in South African waters and typical to the dangers of operating at sea in WW2. This is one of many stories of the sinking of vessels and bravery of men off the coast of South Africa.
SS City of Johannesburg
At 23.12 hours on 23 Oct 1942 the unescorted City of Johannesburg (Master Walter Armour Owen) was hit by one of two torpedoes from U-504 while steaming on a zigzag course at 10.75 knots about 80 miles east-southeast of East London, South Africa. The torpedo struck between the deep tank and #4 hold on the port side, blowing the hatches off the deep tanks and opening a hole that flooded these compartments immediately. All electricity failed and the engines had to be stopped when the engine room was flooded a few minutes later, causing the ship to settle by the stern with a slight list to port. No distress signals could be sent as the main aerial was brought down and fouled the emergency aerial and it was later discovered that the portable wireless set had been damaged while lowering into a lifeboat and was useless.
Two lifeboats had been destroyed and the rafts aft were jammed in the rigging, so the 21 crew members, 60 Lascars (Indian sailors) and nine gunners (the ship was armed with one 4in, one 12pdr, two 20mm and four machine guns) abandoned ship in the four remaining lifeboats which were launched safely within five minutes despite rough sea and high swell.
Before leaving the gunners tried to train the 4in gun, but it was damaged and could no longer be turned. The master was the last to leave the ship after making sure that no one was left on board. At 23.40 hours, the U-boat surfaced after firing a coup de grâce at the ship which was hit at #2 hatch on the port side, but only settled further on an even keel.
The Germans then questioned the survivors in one of the lifeboats and left the area after the City of Johannesburg suddenly broke in two amidships and sank at 00.00 hours. Four Lascars were lost.
The boat in charge of the master had 11 persons on board and rescued two men swimming in the water. Quartermaster H. Birnie was picked up by a boat with 28 persons and later stated that he was alongside the U-boat after it had surfaced and even touched the plates when he was told to swim astern to the lifeboat. He was asked no questions and the engines of the U-boat remained stopped until the man was clear.
The other two boats held 19 respectively 25 persons, but owing to the rough sea the lifeboats could not approach each other to even up the survivors in them. The master told the other boats to remain in the vicinity while his boat set sail in order to get help and made 140 miles in 24 hours before he and twelve survivors were picked up by the Dutch steam merchant Zypenberg about 8 miles from the coast in 33°50S/26°50E on 25 October and landed at Durban two days later.
However, the boat with 19 occupants also set sail and only made half the distance before they were rescued by the British motor merchant King Edwin on 26 October and landed at Cape Town three days later. The 54 survivors in the two boats that waited near the sinking position were picked up by the British steam merchant Fort George after 12 hours in 33°24S/28°31E and landed at Port Elizabeth on 25 October.
U-504: South African Patrol
This submarine had caused a lot of damage off the coast of South Africa, here is a short history of her 4th Patrol in South African waters:
U-504 left Lorient on 19 August 1942 and sailed south to the waters off South Africa as part of Wolfpack Eisbär. There, on 17 October, about 450 nautical miles (830 km; 520 mi) south of Cape Town, she torpedoed and sank the unescorted British 5,970 ton Empire Chaucer. On the 23rd she sank the 5,669 ton SS City of Johannesburg, and on the 26th she attacked the unescorted American 7,176 ton Liberty ship Anne Hutchinson. The crew abandoned their vessel after she was hit by two torpedoes and fatally damaged. However the ship remained afloat, and on the 29th was taken in tow by the South African armed trawler HMSAS David Haigh (T13) and a harbour tug. Lacking sufficient power to tow the ship to port explosive charges were set, cutting the ship in two. The aft section sank, and the fore section was towed into Port Elizabeth. Part of the crew were picked up at sea, while the rest made it to land in their lifeboats.
U-504 sank two more British merchant ships on 31 October, about 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) east of Durban. First the unescorted 7,041 ton Empire Guidon, then the unescorted 5,113 ton Reynolds, which, hit amidships and in the stern, capsized and sank within seconds.
Finally on 3 November she sank the unescorted and unarmed Brazilian 5,187 ton cargo ship Porto Alegre en route from Rio de Janeiro to Durban, off Port Elizabeth. Hit by a single torpedo, the crew abandoned ship before the U-boat delivered the coup de grâce. Only one crew member was lost. The survivors were questioned by the Germans, and later made landfall about 50 nautical miles (93 km; 58 mi) from Port Elizabeth on 7 November.[22] U-504 arrived back at Lorient on 11 December 1942 after a patrol lasting 115 days.
The fate of U-504
U-504 also met a grisly fate. Whilst on her 7th Patrol U504 was depth charged and sunk with all hands on board (53 in total) on 30 July 1943 in the North Atlantic north-west of Cape Ortegal, Spain, in position 45.33N, 10.56W, by depth charges from the British ships HMS Kite, HMS Woodpecker, HMS Wren and HMS Wild Goose.
HMS Kite
HMS Kite's Commanding Officer at the time of the sinking of U-504 was the famous U-boat hunter Captain "Johnnie" Walker, DSO and three bars.
The Commander from her one patrol off South Africa to when she was lost are two different men (and possibly even different crew as well).
KrvKapt Hans-Georg Friedrich Poske
During the South African Patrol (4th patrol) the Commander was KrvKapt Hans-Georg Friedrich Poske (he command U-504 for the first four War Patrols). KrvKpt Wilhelm Luis did the next three patrols, his third being the fatal one.
This U Boat spent a total of 372 days a sea and sank 85,299 tons of shipping. All ships sunk were under her first commander KrvKapt Hans-Georg Friedrich Poske and on the second, third and fourth patrols. U-504's most successful patrol in terms of tonnage suck was on her South African patrol.
KrvKapt Hans-Georg Friedrich Poske survived the war, he also served post war as well and retired in 1963. Note on the image provided he was awarded a Knights Cross.

First of all I want to congratulate for this excellent website. I am a webmaster of one site http://www.sixtant.net dedicated to the war II in the south Atlantic area. I live in Recife Brazil a city in Northeastern south american bulge and here the US Navy 4th Fleet was established with 150 ships. Unfortunately I could not obtain more data from Royal Navy bases on Simonstown and Capetown. I woud be greatly indebted if you could provide me with details of these Naval bases including pictures. My website has 1500 pages and 3500 images and maps. The struggle for the south Atlantic shipping lane for the Allies and Axis is unknown for many and the efforts with Royal Navy with 150 warships in African side including Freetown plus the ships of Brazilian and US Navy, amounted roughly 250 plus vessels. More than 500 ships were sunk in the area including those German merchants , blockade runners, uboats and raiders. An untold story.
Kindest regards.

I always have to put a l letter to use Qwant lite in the address bar, this is boring.
Advanced huh? So you know about editing one of the .JSON files in the Opera directory to clear out all the search engines other than Google, right?


Hameed Pata Mee Sotong Special Esplanade Penang is the best and queue worthy spicy Mamak Noodles at Padang Kota Lama guaranteed to satisfy any craving. This is next to Fort Cornwallis, Padang Kota Lama. This is the best place to bring your friends for halal food!
Mee Goreng when fried is a carbo load to the max, a plate of which I'll say is in the region of a whopping 660 calories at the very least. Translated? You'll need to run at least 12.8km!
ORDER THAT SPICY MEE SOTONG!
Here's the deal. The more oil is used during its preparation; think those crunchy deep fried floury roll bits called Cucur Udang, the higher the calorie count.
Extra Sotong (squids) in tomato sauce? Large portion? Knock in an egg? Make it extra spicy?
Since lunchtime queue is least twenty persons strong, getting a plate of the spicy Hameed 'Pata' Mee Sotong is an epic test in patience and resilience.
So the norm is to order a Coconut Shake or two. Slurp that as your partner stands and queues.
What is coconut shake you'd ask? Just about every table has this order. It's a concoction of coconut water, sweet coconut flesh topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. I can make a version to die for with ice cream soda cubes in lieu of ice. 180 calories!
Come to think of it we decided to go the whole nine yards on this and had Ice Kacang too. Lots of soft sweet red beans, corn, palm seeds (Attap Chee) with shaved ice, two types of syrup and a scoop of ice cream on top.
Do the maths. Ice Kacang 257 calories.
Back to the famous Mee Sotong (cuttlefish).
Practically every table at the food court has a plate of it.
Even though the cook fries the noodles in a huge massive wok the taste is consistent over the years.
The noodles are beautifully coated with the gravy and cuttlefish; a tad heavy, salty, sweet and spicy. Almost everyone chows down on it fast. We just get so hungry waiting that we're almost "grateful" when we're served. It's our turn. Yayyyyyyy!!!
There are two versions of the mee, a mee rebus that comes with gravy or the dry Mee Goreng. The crowd mostly orders the Mee Goreng topped with a saucy Sambal Sotong, with soft and chewy (dried) squids cooked in a sweetly spicy sauce.
A small plate is RM5 while a bigger portion is RM7.
It's totally worth the wait if you're visiting Penang. The Mee Sotong is DELICIOUS and totally addictive! I take my noodles with an additional spoonful of sugar to cut the heat from the chili. I know, bad habits are hard to break.
There are two sections to the Fort Cornwallis Food Court, there's a Halal and Non-Halal section so don't worry about eating here.


See also: A beginner's guide to modern art jazz. Also, remember to get good headphones!
I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. But I was outside the Bagdad Theater in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the saxophone. I stood there for fifteen minutes, and he never opened his eyes.
Maybe that sounded snobbish, but I couldn't help it. When you love something you want to share it.
Trouble is, there hasn't been a good way for me to share my love for modern classical music with others. I could send them to the audio guide for Alex Ross' The Rest is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century, but its coverage of everything after 1960 is pretty limited, and it doesn't begin with the easier, more listenable selections. Bartok is Dead has a limited but well-organized collection of clips, but the site doesn't hold your hand throughout the journey. Anne Midgette's Contemporary classical: a primer is good but way too short. The Guardian's guide to contemporary classical music is nice, but it's organized by composer, and doesn't guide you toward the more accessible stuff. How to Listen to and Understand Great Music ends with Arnold Schönberg, who died in 1951.
So I guess I will have to write a beginner's guide to modern classical music.
Note: This guide links to lots of music on YouTube or Spotify: wherever the music is available. While reading, I recommend you Ctrl+click (Cmd+click on Mac) open those links in a new browser tab so you can hear the music play for a bit before reading further.
So what is modern classical music?
This is my personal story of how I fell in love with modern classical music. Feel free to skip it.
As a Minnesotan pastor's kid I grew up listening to Contemporary Christian Music like The Newsboys ("God is Not a Secret") and Carman ("Satan, Bite the Dust"). The genre is rooted in Nashville-based pop music, so it's not exactly the most creative music in the world.
At age 14 I went to England on a missionary trip. My parents didn't like me listening to "secular music," but in England I was far beyond their reach. My friend Austin lent me his discman so I could listen to Metallica's "Orion," an 8-minute instrumental track crafted with all the care of a Bach fugue, a centerpiece of what many critics call the greatest metal album of all time. Suddenly I realized I was missing out on a lot of intelligent and emotionally powerful music.
Now I was hooked. Via Metallica I discovered Dream Theater, whose neoclassical prog-metal was even more sophisticated than Metallica's early albums. Via Dream Theater I discovered early prog-rock like King Crimson ("I Talk to the Wind") and Pink Floyd ("A Saucerful of Secrets").
My tastes exploded in all directions. I found lists of "greatest albums" and listened to all the albums, from every genre. I browsed AllMusic.com and listened to the editors' picks from every genre I could find, jumping from related artist to related artist. Much of it could be found online. I checked out 20 CDs at a time from my library, making full use of the fact that all Minnesota public libraries belonged to a free, state-wide interlibrary loan system. One year I was responsible for more than 80% of my local library's interlibrary loan requests.
The turning point, I suppose, was when I discovered Piero Scaruffi's website, which the New York Times later profiled in an article titled The Greatest Website of All Time.
Scaruffi does many things, but he is best known for his writings on music. Scaruffi grew up listening to classical music, not pop and rock music. He describes himself as an intellectual historian, not a "fan." Thus, his album ratings and musical histories focus on music that made unique contributions to the history of (musical) ideas, and show almost no correlation with sales or popularity. His list of best rock albums names The Doors and Astral Weeks but also Trout Mask Replica, Faust and Twin Infinitives. His list of best jazz albums names Black Saint and Sinner Lady and Kind of Blue but also Atlantis, Descent into the Maelstrom and Escalator Over the Hill. His list of classical masterpieces names works by Bach, Mozart, and Stravinsky, but also many by Zorn, Galas, Takemitsu, Balakauskas, and Borboudakis.
I decided to read through Scaruffi's comprehensive history of rock music and listen to every album I could find. Then I did the same with his history of pop music, his history of jazz music, and his chronological list of classical masterpieces.
Doing this, I could hear the musical tree growing upward and outward as each branch split off from its parent branch. When I listened to all these styles and albums in the chronological order, I could hear the story of modern music. I could hear the way country and blues merged into boogie, and how boogie started rocking harder until it was called rock 'n roll. I could hear how rock music exploded in a thousand different directions in the 1960s. I could hear how the electronic experiments of Karlheinz Stockhausen and Morton Subotnick inspired Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk, who in turn inspired both abstract noise makers and dance pop.
And from then on, whenever I heard a new album, I could hear where it fit in the story of music. I could tell what its influences were, and whether it invented a whole new kind of music. Knowing the story of music (rather than the story of the music industry and its musicians) made lots of popular artists sound trivial, but it also made lots of other artists sound much more exciting.
These musical connections reminded me of the historical connections examined in the BBC series Connections, hosted by science historian James Burke. In that series, Burke showed how different people in different places solving different problems made different innovations that all came together to give us the technology we use every day. For example, the loom produced linen which made paper so cheap it spurred the development of printing of books that gave information to those interested in automated organs whose pegged cylinders gave French silk weavers the opportunity to run their looms with perforated cards that Herman Hollerith used to count people for a census more quickly than before, which inspired the design of the earliest computers.
I think the same kind of thing happens in music. For example, the barbershop harmonies invented by early pop stars The Mills Brothers ("Goodbye Blues") were inherited (along with many other things) by The Bee Gees, whose disco music and soaring falsetto singing ("Stayin' Alive") inspired the vocals for Supertramp's brainy pop music ("The Logical Song"), which was mutated toward a kind of electro-bossanova by Deerhoof ("Desaparecere").
What does all this have to do with how I fell in love with modern classical music? Unlike Rolling Stone or Pitchfork, Scaruffi's music website didn't stop with rock music, but covered jazz and classical as well. Thus, I discovered a treasure trove of modern classical music that was (in many cases) both more accessible and more exciting than, say, popular avantgarde rock artists like Burial ("U Hurt Me") or Earth ("Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine"). And the more I discovered, the more I listened, and the more I fell in love.
There's a lot of exciting [modern] classical music out there. The problem is that it's not reaching its potential audience.
Words are limited. The best way to say "hello" to modern classical music is to listen to it. Note that you are weird if you like all the pieces below. My goal isn't to help my readers enjoy all genres of modern classical music. My hope is that my readers discover some types of modern classical they enjoy.
Modern classical music is music which traces its primary lineage to 20th century classical composers (e.g. Schoenberg, Webern, Messiaen, Stravinsky, Stockhausen, Shostakovich, Cage, and Bartók) rather than to the musicians of pop, rock, jazz, or folk music.
So why is MCM so unpopular?
One common hypothesis is that modern classical music is unpopular because it is often atonal, noisy, abstract, and experimental (e.g. Stockhausen, "Cosmic Pulses").
But hold on, now. Lots of people listen to rock music that is far more "difficult" and avantgarde than, say, modern classical composer Philip Glass ("Metamorphosis 3"): consider Burial ("U Hurt Me"), The Boredoms ("Circle"), Boris ("Naki Kyoku"), Sigur Rós ("Svefn g Englar"), Acid Mothers Temple ("Blue Velvet Blue"), and Fiery Furnaces ("Blueberry Boat").
Besides, many variants of rock and modern classical are stylistically indistinguishable. Don't believe me? Let's play a game. Just by listening, try to guess which of the tracks below is labeled a variant of "rock" music, and which of these is labeled a variant of "modern classical" music. Write down your answers so you can check them later.
I bet you didn't do much better than chance, unless you already knew some of the artists, or some words on the YouTube pages tipped you off.
Music review magazines like Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and others regularly cover the work of rock artists like Burial and Sigur Rós, but not modern classical composers, not even the most popular ones like Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass.
It's expensive and difficult to attend live performances of modern classical music. Most orchestras and chamber ensembles play endless repetitions of Mozart and Beethoven, not modern classical music.
If you want to explore modern classical music, there aren't many good guides. Without a good guide for a jungle with so much "difficult" music in it, you'll mostly end up listening to stuff you hate, and give up quickly.
I'll start with a recommended playlist of modern classical music (MCM) in film scores. Even if you've heard very little MCM, you've at least heard it in lots of film scores, and that sonic familiarity should make film scores more accessible to you than most other kinds of MCM. Of course, "film score" isn't a genre of composition, it's a format. But because film scores are usually composed with broad accessibility in mind, they tend to stick to the styles of MCM that are most accessible to the populace at large.
Many classical composers borrowed extensively from other musical traditions, including folk, pop, and (later) jazz and rock. But in the 2nd half of the 20th century, many composers blurred the lines between these musical worlds so thoroughly that it was impossible to tell whether a particular composition should be classified as MCM or jazz or rock. Throwing up their hands, music magazines and columns often classified such works not based on the content of the music, but based on which label released them or what kinds of venue they were performed in.
Consider, for example, the King Kong suite from Frank Zappa's album Uncle Meat. Is it jazz? Is it MCM? It's definitely not rock in style, but it appears on an experimental rock album, so it's usually considered to belong to the rock music world. Or consider Zappa's "Music for Electric Violin and Low Budget Orchestra." It's probably best described as a rock- and jazz-influenced MCM composition, but it gets labeled jazz because it was first released on an album of Zappa pieces performed by jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. When Zappa revised the piece and recorded it himself as "Revised Music for Guitar & Low Budget Orchestra," it was classified as rock because it was released on a "rock" album.
What about Penelope by Sarah Kirkland Snider? In style, it's clearly an art-rock album, and yet it's typically classified under "classical," because it was released by a classical label, written by a composer trained at the Yale School of Music, and performed with an orchestra.
Below is a sampling of compositions I think are probably best classified as MCM compositions, but which blur the lines with rock and/or jazz pretty thoroughly, and thus might be more broadly accessible than most MCM pieces.
Another strategy for classically-trained composers seeking a wide audience is to compose pieces that contain a minimum of musical ideas, and therefore rely heavily on the repetition of only a few musical phrases, just like most forms of pop and rock music. This "minimalist" style was later embellished with influences from other relatively accessible styles, such as romanticism. Embellished minimalism is called "postminimalism," though sometimes the term minimalism is used for both genres.
If you like minimalist and postminimalist pieces, they're relatively easy to find: just try some other pieces and albums by the composers above.
The demands on performers by composers like Berio and Carter [and] Babbitt, Stockhausen, and Boulez, were matched by their demands on listeners. Each piece was difficult to understand in its own right, using a novel musical language even more distant from the staples of the concert repertoire than earlier modernist music had been. Compounding listeners' difficulties was that each composer and often each piece used a unique approach, so that even after getting to know one such work, encountering the next one could be like starting from scratch.
To get a sense of what this stuff sounds like, listen to Stockhausen's Gesang der Jünglinge (1956), widely regarded as among the most important pieces of MCM.
At this point you might be wondering what the hell is this garbage and how could anyone listen to it?!
I'm not an expert in music theory. I'm just a fan who likes listening to music. So it doesn't bother me that I don't understand most of what's going on in Gesang der Jünglinge. Nor does it bother me that I don't enjoy listening to it.
Frankly, I'm not going to spend the time to become an expert in music theory, and (probably) neither are you. So, how can the layperson find pieces she likes from the not-so-accessible portions of the MCM canon, and is it worth the effort?
I leave it to you to decide whether it's worth the effort. But I will at least try to reduce the effort required, by providing playlists for some types of modernist and avant-garde music that you might enjoy.
My strategy below is to make some guesses about modern music that non-experts are somewhat likely to enjoy (perhaps after a few listens), without those pieces "resorting to" any of the strategies already given above: thorough tonalism, minimalism, neoclassicalism, neoromanticism, heavily blurred genre lines, etc.
Much of the MCM that normal people hate is composed using a method called serialism, possibly the dominant "genre" of 20th century classical music. If you've ever heard a piece of music and thought "It sounds like the composer is just trying to cram every single different note / rhythm / dynamic / timbre they can into the same piece," well then you're sort of right! As one famous serialist, Milton Babbitt, once put it, "I want a piece of music to be literally as much as possible." It's an attitude which produces pieces like Composition for Four Instruments (1948). Or The Bowl and the Laser Bat (2013).

© Ventec Life Systems Electronics Production | July 03, 2020
Tektronix joins the fight agains COVID-19
Tektronix has shifted its focus from supporting vehicle manufacturing to assisting with ventilator production.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the test and measurement company has partnered with accreditation body American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) to rapidly convert and accredit Tektronix for the calibration of tools to be utilised in the ventilator production setup of a plant in Kokomo, Indiana. Traditionally an electronic components manufacturing plant, the Kokomo plant has shifted work to instead produce ventilators for Ventec Life Systems. Tektronix is managing the torque screwdriver tools involved in ventilator production. Ventec Life Systems created the multi-function ventilator, VOCSN, which provides five therapies in one device: ventilation, oxygen, cough, suction and nebulizer. Ventec has also created the VOCSN V+Pro Emergency which will be delivered as part of an order of 30,000 critical care ventilators for the Federal Government. On April 17, 2020, the first VOCSN critical care ventilators produced in Kokomo, were delivered to hospitals in Olympia Fields and Chicago, Illinois at the direction of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "Tektronix is committed to the rapid production of these critical machines," says Ken Coughran, vice president of Sales, US Multi Vendor Service at Tektronix, in a press release. "The work of test and measurement must be accurate and precise to ensure the components of these machines are faultless in order to rely on these life-saving instruments." Assisting the ventilator production through tool documentation, inventory management, and torque tool check and maintenance, Tektronix has expanded the number of calibration events each month by over three times the traditional amount to meet the manufacturing needs of these critical machines. To expand the lab's current accreditation with the addition of torque screwdriver capabilities to the plant's required activities, Tektronix completed a remote technical assessment by A2LA. A "The process of calibration and accreditation has also seen extensive shifts to protocol and procedure due to the COVID-19 pandemic," adds Trace McInturff, VP Accreditation Services at A2LA. "Time is of the essence for these crucial ventilators, and we are proud that even among the potential constraints of virtual assessment, we completed this accreditation with confidence and ahead of schedule, and with the same level of quality that A2LA has maintained throughout our history."

Q: Can we extend Young's convolution inequality with $BMO$ instead of $L^\infty$ Obviously $\|f*g\|_{L^\infty}\leq\|f\|_{L^1}\|g\|_{L^\infty}$. Do we have the stronger bound $\|f*g\|_{L^\infty}\leq C\|f\|_{L^1}\|g\|_{BMO}$? Or almost as good, $\|f*g\|_{L^\infty}\leq C\|f\|_{H^1}\|g\|_{BMO}$? I think this might follow from the fact that interpolation still works when you replace $L^\infty$ with $BMO$.
Edit: It seems to me that the first statement is false for example if you take $f=1_{[0,1]}\in L^1$ and $g(x)=\log|x|\in BMO$. Then for $x>1$,
\begin{align*}
f*g(x)=x\log x-(x-1)\log(x-1)-1
\end{align*}
is not $L^\infty$.
For the second claim, I'm tempted to use the duality inequality for $H^1$ and $BMO$ to say something like
$$|\int f(t)g(x-t)dt|\leq\|f\|_{H^1}\|g\|_{BMO}$$
but I know that this is only really supposed to hold for $f\in H_0^1$.

A: I don't believe the notation $H^1_0$ is absolutely standard. I'm going to assume that it denotes a dense subspace of $H^1$ such that $fg\in L^1$ for every $f\in H^1_0$ and $g\in BMO$; there are various subspaces with this property, but it won't matter below which one we're talking about.
The answer to your question is "yes or no, depending on how we define that convvolution".
No: As you sort of hint, $f\in H^1$ and $g\in BMO$ do not imply $fg\in L^1$, so the integral defining $f*g$ need not exist. So if we insist that the convolution is defined by that integral the the answer is clearly no; something that does't exist can't be in $L^\infty$.
Yes: On the other hand, it happens all the time that we extend the notion of convolution to situations where that integral does not converge (the convolution of a distribution with a test function, for example). If $X$ is any Banach space of functions on the line which is  invariant under translations and reflection then there is a perfectly natural notion of $f*g$ for $f\in X$ and $g\in X^*$. In the present situation, being just a tiny bit pedantic:
Of course when we say $(H^1)^*=BMO$ we mean this: If $g\in BMO$ there exists a unique $\Lambda_g\in (H^1)^*$ such that $$\Lambda_g f=\int fg\quad(f\in H^1_0).$$Although the integral need not converge, if $f\in H^1$ and $g\in BMO$ then people often write $$\int fg=\Lambda_g f,$$where strictly speaking the right side is the definition of the left side.
If we interpret the integral defining the convolution in that sense then yes, $f\in H^1$ and $g\in BMO$ imply $f*g\in L^\infty$.
What about the inequality? Again, the answer is "it depends". There are various equivalent (standard) norms on $H^1$ and $BMO$.  If we choose our norms so that $||\Lambda_g||_{(H^1)^*}\le||g||_{BMO}$ then yes, it's clear that $$||f*g||_{L^\infty}\le||f||_{H^1}||g||_{BMO}.$$ Of course with any other choice of (equivalent) norms we get $||f*g||_{L^\infty}\le c||f||_{H^1}||g||_{BMO},$ good enough for applications.
You might also note that $f*g$ is continuous; this is clear because if $f\in H^1$ and $\tau_hf(x)=f(x-h)$ then $$||f-\tau_hf||_{H^1}\to0\quad(h\to 0).$$
So which is it, yes or no? If someone forced me to replace the above with a one-word answer I'd say "yes", simply because people do interpret the integral that way. (Or: Because if $X_0$ is a dense subspace of $X$ and $T:X_0\to Y$ is linear and bounded then people do interpret $Tf$ for $f\in X$ in the obvious way, regardless of whether the original definiton of $T$ makes sense for $f\in X$.)
(Otoh if we assume just $f\in L^1$ and $g\in BMO$ then as you suggest the answer is no, there is simply no such thing as $f*g$.)

I finally let curiosity get the best of me and I bought Garnier's BB Cream. BB cream is basically a tinted moisturizer that also fades blemishes, fine lines, and a bunch of other things. For more detailed information click here to read my previous post on BB cream.
I bought the medium/deep shade and it matches my skin perfectly. Anyone that has tan or olive skin should have success with this shade. However this is the darkest shade Garnier makes. I'm disappointed that Garnier didn't have the foresight to create a product that all women can use. What about all of the beautiful Mocha ladies out there that would like to use this product? I'm hoping if this product is as successful as I think it will be for them, Garnier will come out with atleast three or four more shades. I hate to get all political in a review but in this day and age creating a beauty product that excludes most women of color is simply unacceptable. Okay rant over or I'll return this based on principles alone.
This product is a little thicker than I expected and goes on smooth and dewy. I know some people found the smell overwhelming but this didn't bother me. After a few minutes, once it dries the smell is not noticeable. The smell isn't bad but is a little strong at first. My skin felt pretty soft and silky and most of my blemishes were covered. I am blessed to naturally have pretty clear skin so I don't have alot to cover. I do have little red veins under my right nostril that I hate. This did a pretty good job of covering them up but I would still dab a little bit of Purminerals foundation there to get the kind of coverage I like. This definitely provides enough coverage for me to wear alone but on break out days or if you struggle with acne, I'd recommend dusting on some powder on top for extra coverage.
Here are my after pictures, I just have on the BB Cream and nothing else so you can see the difference.
As you can see my skin looks more even and even bit matte but still has a healthy little glow. I've heard you are supposed to wait 30 minutes to get the full effect. I had to get to work so I unfortunately couldn't wait that long before taking my pictures. My verdict is that this product is a keeper, most BB creams are between $25-$40. I paid about $13.00 at Walgreens. They were having a buy one get one half off on Garnier products, so I also get some wipes which came to $3.00 since they were half off. I plan on using this alone on the weekends and with my Purminerals 4-in-1 foundations during the week. Since it has SPF 15, this could essentially replace your day cream too. What do you think of Garnier's BB Cream?
Update: I have since returned Garnier's BB Cream back to Walgreen's. After using it for a few more days, I realized I just wasn't impressed with this product. It did what it claimed for the most part but there was just something about it I didn't love.


One of my customers asked if I could make cards using the two punches she recently purchased - the Curly Label Punch and Large Oval Punch and this is what I came up with.
The first card uses the Curly Label and Butterfly Punch. The only stamp set was Teeny Tiny Wishes for the sentiment. I love the colors pink and brown together, so I used Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip cardstock for the Curly Label punch, some scrap pieces of Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper for the butterflies (from the Occasions Mini) and layered all of this onto Very Vanilla cardstock, added some Chocolate Chip ribbon to finish the card front which I then placed onto my card base using Kraft cardstock.
The second card uses the Large Oval, Large Star, Star, Word Window, and Modern Label Punch. The only stamp set was Teeny Tiny Wishes for the sentiment. I used Bashful Blue cardstock for the base of the card, Going Gray for the layer, Ballet Blue and Basic Gray for the oval punches, and mixed the colors for the star and word punches. So with a little bit of imagination you can make cards only using your punches.
Let me know what you think, and if you come up with some creative punch cards of your own I would love to see them.

Q: "It will be the first time he has met her" - is it correct?
They haven't met before and they are going to meet next week.

So is it right to say "It will be the first time he has met her."? I read it in a Economist article. So I was wondering how is this correct or why is this correct!

A: Your example sentence

It will be the first time he has met her

is perfectly good and would be understood to mean they have not met before so this will be the first time.
You could also say

Tomorrow will be the first time they (have) met.
  They have not met each other yet, but after tomorrow they will have met.
  After you pass the exam, you (will) have met all the requirements to graduate.

Welcome to Robert Geneid Sarawak page
From Sydney to Sarawak, Australian born Robert Geneid is helping to put the Sarawakian rainforest onto the ecotourist map
Robert Geneid at home in Sarawak
Robert Geneid was born in Sydney, Australia in 1954 and completed his BE from the University of New South Wales in Civil Engineering in 1976. He became one of the youngest Fellows to the Institute of Engineers and after a couple of years working as an engineer on water supply and sewerage projects for the Department of Public Works in New South Wales, he relocated to Saudi Arabia in 1979, where he was employed by the Bechtel Corporation on the massive Jubail Industrial City, which was at the time one the largest construction projects in the world.
At the start of the 1980s Robert Geneid decided it was time to change direction, and in 1983 he returned to the University of New South Wales where he studied law. After obtaining his law degree, he began working as a solicitor for the Sydney based law firm, Freehill, Hollingdale and Page, where he combined his existing engineering knowledge with his newly acquired legal skills.
He was given the task of handling disputes on construction projects as well as undertaking the documentation of large scale infrastructure projects, including acting on behalf of the Northern Territory Government on the Channel Island Power Station Project and again as a part of a legal team advising the consortium in the construction of a road tunnel under Sydney Harbour.
In 1990 he became a partner of Mallesons Stephen Jaques, where he was given responsibility for handling the firm's clients involved in development and construction in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Among the projects he was involved in, were the establishment of the first commercial television station in Jakarta and legal advisor for the joint venture in Malaysia that developed the Malaysia Peninsular Gas Utilization pipeline.
Robert Geneid's move into tourism in Sarawak began when he became the Managing Director of the Borsarmulu Resort Sdn Bhd, the company which owns the Royal Mulu Resort, situated close to the Gunung Mulu National Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, in Sarawak's rain forest.
Geneid has been keen to maintain the ecology of the region and at the same time open up the area to ecotourism. Equally importantly was to ensure sufficient development in the region for the benefit the local population.
The Royal Mulu Resort is currently undergoing a major overhaul and will soon become the Mulu Marriott Resort and Spa, the Marriott chain's first nature based hotel.
As well as being the Managing Director of the Royal Mulu Resort, Robert Geneid is a Director of the company which owns the five star Miri Marriott Resort and Spa, situated on the South China Sea in the northern part of Sarawak.
Robert Geneid currently serves on the Board of Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau.
In addition to his involvement in the tourist industry, he is Managing Director of Kumpulan Construction Sdn Bhd, which was responsible for the development of two major construction projects in Kuching, the Kuching Outdoor Stadium and the New Kuching Port; both projects which were completed within budget and on time.
For Robert Geneid, Sarawak and the city of Kuching, has been his adopted home for many years and is the place where he lives today with his wife.

The food at the wedding was amazing!! Everyone raved about how amazing it was. You guys were in and out and very professional, I didn't have to worry about anything, just eating and enjoying the night.
Thanks again so much, I will recommend you to anyone who needs a caterer!


Effective communication depends upon consideration toward the audience; specifically, how the audience will receive the information, where they will receive it at and why they are to receive it are important factors. There is not much difference between information in written format vs speech because good speeches require good writing… And good writing requires good editing.
Below, I wish to share the 8 most common grammar issues. This is important because grammar issues are distractions that hinder effective communication. Before I start, I do encourage that the writer waits until after the writing phase before starting to edit. Otherwise, worrying too much about grammar issues can often be a distraction for the unexperienced writer. I highly recommend these tips for essays, case studies, dissertations and work-related emails.
"They are given candy as they approach each house". Since 'given' is past tense and 'are' is present, the subject is not in agreement. Sometimes, with this issue, a little reconstructive surgery is necessary.
"They receive candy as they approach each house".
"The term 'communication' is defined as a vehicle that translates, carries the message and returns feedback".
In this sentence, the term 'is' relates to present tense while 'defined' relates to past tense.
The problem with contractions is that they often fail to translate the appropriate tense that the reader has implied.
"The ball belongs to Jim". = "That's Jim's ball".
Here, while 'Jim's' is perfectly acceptable, the term 'that's' leaves the audience questioning if the writer meant to say 'that was' or 'that is'.
Usually, with the 'its' family, major reconstructive surgery is necessary for most of (if not) the entire sentence.
This term was not meant to represent 'to be'. In fact, the only appropriate way to use this term is when one is referring to a 'human being'. Usually, replacing this term with 'feeling' or some other adjective is a suitable correction.
These terms often refer to measuring, but usually unintentionally, they fail to translate a good idea of what the reader is trying to communicate. To offset this deficiency, try using scales, measurements, percentages and analogies so that the reader has a better understand the information.
"About 60 percent of Americans hate …".
"I like extra butter on my popcorn more than watching the movie".
>'We', 'us', 'ours', etc.: Use when referring to humanity in general or in a close-knit group or team setting.
In essays, case studies, dissertations and most books (especially self-help), avoid asking open-ended questions. This error is a form of presumption because the writer is usually assuming what the reader might be thinking at that point in the writing. The most important reason is that communication is more effective when we answer questions instead of imposing them.
"After reviewing a documentary about the inventor of the product, I was inspired by his commitment... Were you Inspired?". Usually, the remedy for this issue is to rephrase the question into a statement or, in this case, completely remove the question since the topic of inspiration was already addressed.
I hope these eight tips help. I am sure if one practices them, the result would be a written work with a low percentage of grammar issues. Please feel free to ask if there are other concerns or let me know if there are any questions.

Carpet Cleaning in Belfast Maine.
Improve the look and feel of your carpets!
Having your carpet professionally cleaned will help to improve the look and the feel.

Albert Sangwine was the British Cumberland and Westmoreland heavyweight wrestling champion in 1920 and 1921. Having represented England against France early in 1924 he was then selected for the 1924 Paris Olympics but never progressed beyond the first round. Sangwine represented England in the inaugural British Empire Games in 1930, winning the silver medal in the freestyle heavyweight class. Weighing over 112 kg (16stone) he was also an excellent shot putter and was a member of the Polytechnic Harriers. A Post Office worker, he won the Southern Area title and in 1931 set the Essex county record, which was not broken until 1948.


Ottawa, December 19, 2016 ----- Dr. Granger Avery CMA President ----- The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is disappointed that the federal, provincial and territorial levels of government seem to be overlooking the urgent need to focus on action to improve the health of Canadians. This inability is particularly glaring given the fact that improving care for seniors is a priority for all governments.
The CMA's 83,000 members – and the over 40,000 members of the public who have signed on as supporters to the CMA's Demandaplan.ca campaign -- have been clear and consistent: Canada needs urgent political leadership to ensure our health care system evolves to meet the needs of our aging population.
The "Groundhog Day-type" discussions where political leaders bat around percentages and figures at meetings in hotels have to stop. Our system needs better and most important our citizens deserve better.
While the CMA is disheartened that no new national Health Accord has yet been achieved, we remain ready and willing to engage with our political leaders on ways – such as the creation of a demographic top-up – to support seniors care.
The door is open to a process. We encourage federal and provincial-territorial leaders to engage in that process and move forward.

Jim McGovern for Congress - https://www.jimmcgovern.com
Meet Jim
They're MOCKING this? Seriously??
This week, families across Massachusetts breathed in toxic smoke – from a fire in central Oregon.
Also this week, new studies showed that cutting our carbon footprint drastically would save upwards of 70 million lives.
And still, Republican officials and conservative commentators not only deny there's a climate crisis, but mock those of us who are ready to do something about it.
They're unfit for leadership. And yet, polls continue to suggest that Republicans could grab a House majority next year. The only way we prevent that is by mobilizing progressives nationwide like never before. Chip in now to build this movement!
Forget the fox and the henhouse. Electing Republican politicians to protect our future is like hiring an arsonist to house-sit.
Gruesome? Yes. But no more so than literally watching our world burn in order to spite the people who want to save it.
Here's the good news: we've got the numbers. There are way, WAY more people who see the truth (or who are willing to see the truth) in this country. We just need to make sure those folks know what we stand for so they can get on board.
That's our work right now – we can't wait until the election's upon us. We've got a movement of millions, and we're growing every day. Contribute now to keep our organizers on the ground and get our message out.
It's on us. We're going to get this done.

OVERVIEW: The Lynn & Les Bider Foundation's grantmaking funds Jewish and arts organizations, among other interests.
PROFILE: Founded in 1996, the Lynn and Les Bider Foundation was established by music veteran executive Les Bider and his wife Lynn. The Lynn & Les Bider Foundation's grantmaking includes support of Jewish and arts organizations.
The Biders are active in their local Jewish committee. Lynn is a former Sylvia Weisz Women's Campaign Chair at the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles. She is also the past president of Stephen S. Wise Temple and has been on the board of trustees for some 20 years. Les has been involved with Jewish Federation of Los Angeles and Hebrew Union College.
In a recent tax year, grants ranged from $10,000 to $50,000 and the foundation awarded around $225,000. Past grantees have included Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (Bider is a life trustee), Skirball Cultural Center, and Hide and Seek Foundation, which deals with a group of inherited metabolic disorders called lysosomal diseases.
Given the foundation's lack of transparency, it is unclear whether it accepts LOIs or unsolicited applications; however, given this lack, it likely will not.
