Destinations Destination Gambia: A Lesson Worth Sharing
Destination Gambia: A Lesson Worth Sharing
A cruise up the Gambia River in western Africa is a lesson in many things, including the meaning of equality within community.
By Kia Koropp
Cruising up the Gambia River. Kia Koropp
When we cruised into Banjul—the dusty, bustling capital city of Gambia, on the western coast of Africa—the customs agent knew exactly what he wanted.
"The office has run out of coffee, and the team doesn't have enough money to buy any—ahem, ahem," he said as we tried to clear in.
My first thought was that he at least had different taste in palm-greasing than the port captain, who was required to view our onboard stores but didn't think he'd have the time if we bought him a Coke. At immigration, it was a $5 "donation" they needed from us to help the department buy its own boat.
Yes, this was our welcome after deciding to trade cruising amid coconut trees and tropical fish for cruising up a muddy river full of hippos and crocodiles. As we ventured onward, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect.
Although provisioning is challenging in Gambia, and transport in a rickety donkey cart can be difficult, welcoming villages are everywhere. Kia Koropp
I'd first heard about Gambia from a German couple cruising in the Canary Islands. I'm a cruiser who likes to explore, and the more culturally diverse the places are, the better. Gambia receives just a handful of yachts each year, making it about as off-the-beaten-course as a destination can get. And so, we added it to our itinerary as a stopover destination between the Canaries and the Caribbean. We at least knew it would be different.
I'd had visions of sailing slowly up the Gambia River with the tide. When we got there, though, I had to learn to temper my expectations. This is no wide, Amazon-type river; there isn't the distance between banks to make sailing practical. You need to tack as soon as you complete your tack, and continue running sails from port to starboard until you concede defeat and turn on the engine. We did sail, a little, but only when the wind was directly behind us and the tide was running with us.
We also encountered the Gambia Bridge, which cruising boats can get under with masts up to about 55 feet tall, but that's it. This bridge serves as a barrier to some vessels from exploring the upper reaches of the river—and a trip to Gambia is all about those upper reaches. We ended up with only a foot of clearance from the VHF radio aerial in an intense moment when I had to make the call whether or not to proceed.
Locals will often paddle out in pirogues to visit a cruising boat. Kia Koropp
Other factors became evident once we were safely (whew!) on the other side of the bridge. The wider river turns into smaller creeks, offering secret hideouts to tuck into. The options aren't always obvious because a creek's entrance can get shallow before the water becomes deep again. With our draft of more than 7 feet, we often drew a line in the mud with our keel on our way into a creek. We'd then find ourselves nestled up tight amid the reeds. And we had to drop anchor directly in the creek's center so as not to bump the mangroves on either side.
We also learned about who else lives along these small creeks: moths that love anchor lights at night, and vicious mosquitoes whose itchy bites last for days. Fortunately, we had a three-tier netting system: netting around the cockpit for the worst of times, netting for the hatches and companionway as standard use, and netting above the beds in case barriers one and two were breached. There wasn't a night we weren't thankful for the sanctity of our impenetrable fortress.
What's missing from this river is consumable water. The river is muddy all the way up its reaches, so using a watermaker is ill-advised unless you have a bilge full of filters. We filled our 370-gallon tank with water from the community well before departure, and used water sparingly. We washed our bodies, clothes and dishes in river water, and used our tank water exclusively for drinking and cooking. This meant scenic deck showers in the early evenings, a hose dragged through the cockpit to fill the sink, and white-turned-brown clothes pegged on the rail to dry.
The children are gregarious and inquisitive, and the adults extend a warm welcome. Kia Koropp
Food is also sparse outside the larger towns, and transport is difficult. If you aren't up for a long and dusty walk, then your choices are a hot minivan or a rickety donkey cart. The cart is preferable because a limited number of bodies can fit atop it, though witnessing people being bumped off means your safety is not guaranteed. To me, it still beat being trapped inside a nine-person minivan with 30 other people along hot, dusty roads for the four hours it takes to move 12 miles. We'd get back to the boat in darkness, all for a sack of onions and potatoes.
What makes all of this worth it is the solitude and seclusion in Gambia. You can spend weeks up a creek hidden from the world, with only birdsong to remind you that other life exists. Villages are welcoming, but there's no cruising community.
Another big difference is that as a longtime cruiser, I am used to the ripple of wind across water, the constant roll over gentle waves, and the swell of the ocean as if it breathes. It has been a long time since I've looked out over water that has no movement, no heartbeat, no breath. Yet, a muddy river can be full of vibrant color: blue, green, red, white, black. The water captures the life that surrounds it and tosses it back, with the sky, forest, sun, moon and people in beautiful, perfect reflections.
You can spend weeks up a creek hidden from the world, with only birdsong to remind you that other life exists. Kia Koropp
These river views dominate the country. Gambia stretches 350 miles from west to east, and the river runs the entire distance. The river is the country, as are the animals that depend on it. I was told that I'd see hippos and crocodiles; what I didn't appreciate was that this was guaranteed. Trampled reeds and river access holes through the bush mark every creek.
On Christmas Eve, we took chimes up on deck in the evening to convince the kids that they'd heard Santa's sleigh. A cute idea, until a hippo's bellow drowned out the chimes. And instead of something that looked like Rudolph, a crocodile crashed through the reeds into the water about 15 feet from our anchor.
On New Year's Eve, we sat in our tender watching crocs laze on muddy shores and hippos cool down in the shallows as men laid out their fishing nets. We also sat in our dinghy in the national park, watching a family of chimpanzees size us up from a tree overhanging the water only yards away. Dolphins were a pleasant surprise.
Gambia stretches 350 miles from west to east, and the river runs the entire distance. Kia Koropp
This is what it means to be surrounded by silence and nature. The magic of chance encounters with animals are entirely different than those typically seen by yacht.
As for the welcoming villages, they are everywhere. Invitations to visit are readily made by waving hands on the shoreside. If you aren't drawn in by their visual signs of welcome, the people will paddle out in a pirogue—a long, narrow canoe made from a tree trunk—to deliver greetings in person. The children are gregarious and inquisitive, as children tend to be, but adults also extend a warm welcome. It helps that English is widely spoken.
Yes, these are developing-world locations, but I experienced little of the "give me" attitude we've encountered elsewhere. If anything, the handouts came the other way. I had more meals made for me, was asked to drink more tea, and was gifted more fish and vegetables than in any country I've cruised. Even the wood-carving peddler offered two additional carvings as gifts for the kids after I bought one small bowl. The batik artist gave my daughter a dress even though I didn't purchase anything. Self-selected guides would offer to walk with us, making introductions along the way. It was fantastic to have an ambassador who helped us to experience a deeper layer of the community.
In one village, we were invited to join in a Christian ceremony, where we followed a man around town who was wearing a horned headdress and gourd-covered back. He represented the evil spirit of an animal that the community chased after to scare it away. I'm not sure what part of Christianity was being referenced, but in a predominately Muslim community, I don't think that was what mattered. That the fruit bloomed and the vegetable gardens were safe was of much more practical concern.
Spotting dolphins in the river can be a pleasant surprise. Kia Koropp
We were also invited to join a family in the naming ceremony of their newborn son. The day prior, we undertook the minibus journey to town to source fabric, track down a seamstress, and have a ceremonial outfit made. The next day, we were invited into the house to watch the 7-day-old's head get shaved before his first appearance to the world. A continuous stream of women walked in with donations of rice because the new mother would be taking some time away from the fields. The community elders gathered, chanted and whispered the child's name into his ear. There were prayers for his health and welfare, and then the name the elders selected was announced. The men and women sang and prayed as separate groups, followed by a shared bowl of sweet ground rice and betel nut. A shared lunch followed.
Again and again, I saw the passing of small change between hands, slipped over on a handshake. This way of interacting is taught from an early age. Everything is divided and shared. Kids split their half-nibbled cookies and gummi worms.
In that context, the port entry officials asking for a drink or a couple of dollars suddenly seemed a whole lot different.
We spent a portion of time at Lamin Lodge, which had fallen into disrepair, but where locals had established a daily communal meal to ensure that everyone was fed. The center of activity was usually under the trees between a bar that, due to the lack of electricity, sold soda from a chilly bin, and a restaurant that, due to the lack of clients, served only instant coffee. The 2 o'clock meal was most frequently served at 5 p.m., with the rice (95 percent), fish (4 percent) and vegetables (1 percent) cooked for several hours over charcoal in a large iron pot. They fry the fish in a gallon of vegetable oil and remove it before adding the veggies, herbs, and spices. Then they remove that and cook the rice in the richly favored oil. Three hours later, the meal is layered on a platter in reverse order and served.
From the dinghy, one can watch crocodiles laze on muddy shores and hippos cool down in the shallows while men lay out their fishing nets. Kia Koropp
And let me tell you, the food is delicious. We'd sit in the dirt, eating with our hands from the communal platter with total strangers. It was a daily ritual of camaraderie, and it was hard to pull ourselves away when it was time to leave.
So, yeah, I'll trade a few rum cocktails for a trip up the Gambia River. I'll take the motoring in the silent, tranquil creeks. I'll elbow through a mile of mud to sip tea with a stranger. I'll battle a billion mosquitoes to hold a hundred little hands in my palm.
And now, I'm more than happy to buy a Coke for whoever wants one.
Kia Koropp and her husband, John Daubeny, have been cruising the Pacific, Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean for the past decade with their two children, ages 7 and 9, aboard the 50-foot Ganley Solution Atea.

Following My Roots to the Ukraine and Poland
by Debrah Charatan | Aug 9, 2018 | Cultural Organizations, Philanthropy
This spring, I went on a trip to the places where my parents were born. Along with my family and other passionate travelers, I explored the Ukraine and Poland on a remarkable pilgrimage made possible by The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The trip they sponsored was attended by about 40 people in late May to early June. It was a once-in-a-lifetime journey that I won't soon forget.
The children of immigrants and refugees don't always get to explore their roots so physically, emotionally, and intimately. As the daughter of Holocaust survivors, it was a privilege to help organize and take part in such an opportunity this year. I saw where my mom and dad were raised, where they lived, and in the case of my father, persecuted and hidden from Nazis during WWII. It was a journey back in time that brought to light the pain and passion of my ancestors that I carry in my heart to this day.
My father was from a town called Lvov, once a famous and populous city in Poland. Now Lviv, it's part of the Ukraine, where it is considered a little dangerous and welcomes few visitors. We were able to find the neighborhood my dad lived in and, somewhat astonishingly, visit the actual house he was born in as well. Later, he would suffer in a concentration camp called Janowska, which after all this time is used as a prison (we were unable to visit). Considering that in all concentration camps in Poland are memorial sites, the fact that this one is still used is disturbing.
Then we went to where my mother was born: a bucolic, beautiful town called Busk. My mother's entire family lived in this village; it was incredible to see and experience many of the same things she grew up seeing and experiencing.
I should also mention that there was a Polish family that hid my father and his family during the war. He was housed in a bunker on their farm, an act that saved his life as well as his parents, brother, and three friends. My uncle even wrote about this experience in a book: Eye to Eye: A Memoir of the Nazi Holocaust in Poland.
I invited one of the great grandchildren from this family to come on the trip and was delighted when they joined us for part of it. I hoped we could see the bunker firsthand and understand where my father and his family were sheltered. Alas, the world is a different place: nobody could find the bunker.
That was an extraordinarily meaningful part of the trip for me and my family, and the first part of our journey.
After our visit to Ukraine, we went to Poland and visited Warsaw and Krakow. My father spent time in Krakow after the war, and his brother gave me some addresses of nightclubs and places they lived and visited. We were able to retrace his steps and relive his time enjoying life after his harrowing experience during the war.
My uncle also gave me an address in Lviv so that I could find a factory called the Schwartz factory where my father's sister was killed. She was the only sibling not hidden in the bunker, and unfortunately didn't make it. I went to where that factory was, but there was something going on militarily so I couldn't get in.
In total, we visited five or six concentration camps/death camps on this trip. This was about as depressing as you'd expect. For others it was more depressing than it was for me; I have lived with it my whole life as the daughter of survivors and understood their struggle and its aftermath well. When you've never lived with it and see it, it's mind-blowing.
After we saw all of this in Krakow, I met up with a man named Jonathan Ornstein who runs the JCC (Jewish Community Center) there. A Jewish kid from Long Island now in his 40s, Jonathan met us in Krakow and shed a whole new light on the history and legacy of our Jewish heritage. We were fed delicious homemade food which we enjoyed partaking in with our hosts. They talked about growth and renewal and showed us the beauty of Judaism and life more generally after so much pain.
One thing Jonathan said that I found interesting was that often visitors will walk in the JCC and reveal that they are Jewish but didn't know it. For instance, one Jewish woman was given away as a child to a Catholic couple after her parents died, which was not uncommon at the time. She was told never to say that she was Jewish, but at age 80 finally shared this information with her granddaughter. The granddaughter didn't know what to do, so she went to the JCC. With the danger associated with Judaism lifted and youngsters going back to their roots, Jewish life is experiencing rejuvenation, a miraculous occurrence for our faith and heritage. It was amazing to go to the JCC and hear these stories.
This trip was moving in countless ways and I consider myself blessed to have been able to share it with family and friends. I am also grateful to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum for making it possible for us to travel with such purpose — a purpose I will keep close to my heart for years to come.

I've been planning the events in this book since long before I started working on What Happens in New York.
The key scene that happens in What Happens in Barcelona has always been inevitable. It wasn't a question of what, it was a question of how.
It's been a long time coming, I know.
The first one is that at the end of last year, after Productivity for Writers was published, I decided to focus on The Writer's Cookbook and developing my marketing skills.
I did take a break to take part in NaNoWriMo, but I honestly hated doing that so much that I almost never returned to writing fiction again.
No really. I genuinely hated it that much.
So I ended up needing a break from fiction.
My birthday present to myself (back in March) was meant to be returning to fiction for a week, but then when I tried…it was like putting on clothes that looked like they were in my size but just didn't fit right.
I really, really struggled to get back into writing fiction after taking a nine-month break.
Then, to make matters worse, we had some really cold weather. My fibromyalgia is exacerbated by cold weather, meaning that the snow and ice and freezing temperatures ruined me for several weeks.
THEN, my nan fell ill. Really, REALLY ill. We thought that that was it—she was on her way out. But fighter that she is, she kept going.
Needless to say, writing fiction and poetry wasn't a huge priority for me for a while. I still did it, but I did it slowly. I focused on my mental and physical health first and foremost.
Writing fiction and poetry is part of how I look after my mental health, but the pressures of publishing can sometimes distract from that.
So, instead of rushing to publish Return to New York, I decided I'd get a version of that I was happy with, send it to beta readers, then move on to writing What Happens in Barcelona.
Originally there was going to be an overlap in the timelines, so it would've helped with that.
Doing it this way meant that I had more time to focus on writing and the pressure was all off. Writing was fun again!
When we put too much pressure on ourselves, the stuff we love can very quickly turn into stuff that we hate—we can end up losing the very thing we loved about it in the first place.
I knew that with a long enough break—and the right project—my love for writing would return. And it has.
Now that Return to New York is finished, I'm going to focus on editing What Happens in Barcelona. When that's ready to go back in the drawer, I'll work on what comes next. While I'm not ready to share what happens beyond Barcelona just yet, when I have decided on the order, you'll be the first to know.
In the meantime, you'll be pleased to know that you won't have to wait as long between Return to New York and What Happens in Barcelona as you did between What Happens in London and Return to New York!
Now, I'd better get back to editing if I want to maintain that timeline!


The U.S. Catholic Bishops, united in defense of religious freedom.
Americans accustomed to religious freedom may, at first blush, find it hard to imagine any possible analogy between our situation today, in the midst of the debate over the HHS "contraceptive mandate," and that of Poland's Christians in 1953; of course those brave men and women faced challenges far beyond those facing American believers today. Yet the structure of the moral and political argument, then and now, is eerily similar. In both cases, an overweening and arrogant government tries, through the use of coercive power, to make the Church a subsidiary of the state. In both cases, the state claims the authority to define religious ministries and services on its own narrow and secularist terms. In both cases, the state is attempting to co-opt as much of society as it can, while the Church is defending the prerogatives of civil society.
#ad#The March 14 statement of the Administrative Committee of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, "United for Religious Freedom," does not contain the kind of rhetorical flourishes that reached a dramatic coda in the Poles' ringing "Non Possumus!" Still, the U.S. bishops have drawn an unmistakably clear line in the sand.
This is not about access to contraception, which is ubiquitous and inexpensive. . . . This is not about the religious freedom of Catholics only, but also of those who recognize that their cherished beliefs may be next on the block. This is not about the bishops' somehow 'banning contraception,' when the U.S. Supreme Court took that issue off the table two generations ago. Indeed, this is not about the Church wanting to force anybody to do anything; it is, instead, about the federal government forcing the Church . . . to act against Church teachings. This is not a matter of opposition to universal health care, which has been a concern of the Bishops' Conference since 1919, virtually at its founding. This is not a fight we want or asked for, but one forced upon us by government on its own timing. Finally, this is not a Republican or Democratic, a conservative or liberal issue; it is an American issue.
The Administrative Committee's statement then crisply defines what the HHS mandate involves.
It involves an "unwarranted" and "extremely narrow" definition of who is a "religious employer " — a definition that "creates and enforces a new distinction" between Catholic houses of worship, on the one hand, and, on the other, the Church's charitable activities and its educational efforts. According to the administration's regulatory scheme, the latter will become "second class" citizens, in a dramatic break with both Catholic tradition and federal law.
#page#It involves an attempt by the government to compel Catholic institutions that serve those of many faiths and no faith to violate Catholic teachings within the Church's own institutions, which is both an intrinsic injustice and a gross intrusion of state power into the Church's evangelical mission.
#ad#Thus those who expected the bishops to try and find some 50-yard line of agreement with the administration, a middle ground on which the Church's institutions would be protected while individual Catholic employers would be left to the tender mercies of HHS, were proven exactly wrong: The bishops intend to defend religious freedom in full, and that defense will be all-in.
"United for Religious Freedom" concludes with a commitment to "accept any invitation to dialogue with the Executive Branch to protect the religious freedom that is rightly ours" — a formulation indicating that they will not come to any such further conversation as a supplicant, but as a defender of American tradition. The statement expresses support for a legislative remedy to the depredations of the HHS mandate, which, one assumes, will now focus on the Fortenberry bill in the House of Representatives. Finally, the statement reiterates the bishops' determination to pursue a remedy in the federal courts, which is their likeliest path to success. The reference to both the Constitution and "federal laws that protect religious freedom" suggests that the conference knows it has a strong case under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and will vigorously pursue it.
In sum, the bishops have rebuffed calls for a tactical retreat; the analysts who have not grasped the sea-change in perspective of the bishops' conference have been confounded; the Catholic Lite brigades have been challenged to think again about the gravity of the theological and constitutional issues involved in the mandate; and those who have supported the bishops thus far have been affirmed in their work.
There will be no compromise here, for there can be no compromise of first principles. Those who understand that will gather their energies and continue to defend both Catholic and American tradition.


As many of you know, I so enjoy creating new flavor combinations. However, we cannot forget the basic, plain and simple flavors that never grow old. I'm talking about oats and raisins.
The original recipe for my oatmeal & raisin cookie was originally my mother-in-law's recipe but I have tweaked it over the years.
In a large mixing bowl begin by creaming together the butter and sugars (brown & granulated) until well combined. Mix in the eggs and vanilla - just until combined. With a wooden spoon, stir in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and oats. Finally stir in the raisins and walnuts.
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven (only 1 cookie sheet at a time) for 9 to 10 minutes (or until desired golden brown color is achieved) (see picture below).
2. Use both golden and regular raisins (1/2 cup of each).
3. Substitute dried cranberries or dried cherries for the raisins.
Remove from oven, cool on a wire rack.


Citation: DONG LIANG (2005-06-02). Hidden Markov model based visual speech recognition. ScholarBank@NUS Repository.
Abstract: Speech recognition can be made more accurate if visual speech information such as the movement of the lips is taken into consideration. In this thesis, studies on visual speech processing are presented. Classifiers based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) are first explored for modeling and identifying the basic visual speech elements. Considering that the temporal features of visual speech elements may be confusable and sensitive to their contexts, three novel training strategies, referred to as two-channel training strategy, Maximum Separable Distance training strategy and HMM Adaptive Boosting strategy, are proposed to improve the discriminative power and robustness of an HMM classifier. Following that, approaches for recognizing words, phrases and connected-digit units in visual speech are presented with exploration of level building method and Viterbi searching algorithm. The thesis also covers the studies of 3D lip tracking and visual speech mapping between different speakers. These approaches may extend the applicability of a visual speech processing system to unfavorable conditions.

Some foundations offer groups that support decision-making power on funding priorities
The research brief is a brief about interesting academic work.
83 percent of large American foundations seek input from other people, organizations or communities directly affected by their funding, as well as some nonprofits. But foundations, which aim to serve the public interest through the funds they give, rarely empower these stakeholders to make decisions—either to help them set priorities or to tell them where to fund. where it flows.
That's what philanthropic scholars Kelly Husted, David Suarez and I found in a study that assessed the practices of the 500 largest American foundations. Our findings suggest that the foundation, which faces increasing pressure to make more grants to underserved communities as part of a wider calculation on running race in America, has incorporated some stakeholder outreach into its work.
We surveyed foundation leaders from May to December 2020, asking them to estimate the extent to which their organizations encouraged participation from outside stakeholders. Overall, 148 of the 500 largest foundations in the United States responded. We cannot name anyone as we have agreed to keep them anonymous.
We predicted that participation would decrease along a spectrum, and that's what we found. At a lower level, we saw that many foundations collect information, such as through surveys. At the high end, some foundations actually have at least some say to stakeholders, for example, giving community members the power to evaluate particular grant applications or make decisions on grant awards.
While most foundations said they received input from at least one person or organization affected by their work, only 10% said they entrust any authority to their grantees, community-based organizations, members of those communities, or the public. those they serve.
Until now, the people who work for and run the foundation have generally not been representative of the communities they wish to serve. As a result, they may lack insight about the challenges facing those communities.
Whether foundations serve the public also matters because the government subsidizes foundations by allowing them to operate tax-free. In return, they have to give at least 5% of their assets annually to charitable purposes. Foundations also file an annual tax form, called 990-PF, which shows their financial activities and the grants they make.
The public has a few other ways to hold the foundation accountable.
One way that foundations can increase their public accountability is through participatory grants: any process that transfers decision-making power from foundation leaders and employees to those who will be affected by the money being given.
The Haymarket People's Fund, for example, relies on a panel of community organizers to make its grants.
what is not yet known
Does stakeholder participation make a difference? Some foundations are looking for evidence to help answer this good question.
For example, the Ford Foundation has funded a round of research projects, including our study, to better understand how participant grants can look in practice and the impact it has on everyone. Some new findings from the Urban Institute suggest that foundations doing this work are more immersed in their communities. However, other findings suggest that recruiting diverse participants can be challenging.
Other foundations are experimenting with stakeholder participation and sharing what they have learned. For example, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation used a participatory approach in their Culture, Equality and the Arts program in 2019 and then documented the benefits and challenges of the process.
what will happen next
We are researching how the Foundation engages with stakeholders, documenting different perspectives and describing the challenges that lie ahead.

If they are going to name a candy bar Mr. Big, then the size of the candy bar should be made to match the name!
This "This is broken" is somewhat broken if you don't tell us how big/small this bar actually is... one can only guess vaguely from the size of the zigzags on the edge that it's probably small.
Well, with size of the zigzags and the wrinkels on the letters, you can guses that it is a small candey bar.
And of course you are first. You get up before 3:17.
If you look at the zoomed photo, there's a little 'notation' symbol next to the Mr. Big name. Something tells me that somewhere on the wrapper is a disclaimer in fine print that the name refers to the flavor and not the actual size of the package or candy.
Which doesn't mean that it's not broken. Seems to be a strange name for a candy, as well as one that invites such a strange coincidence. If your product name requires disclaimers, perhaps it isn't such a great product name.
Interestingly, the Cadbury website doesn't list this product in the lineup.
You know, once when I was a kid, I bought a $100,000 Bar for--this is true--35 cents. So broken!
And another time I had a Pay Day bar, but it wasn't pay day!
Why should a product's name be enough for it to be considered broken? Dawn dish soap doesn't have anything to do with the sunrise, Tide detergent has nothing to do with the ocean, the Apple Macintosh must be doubly broken since it has nothing to do with either fruit or raincoats.
I can't believe you guys haven't figured that this is an image of the Halloween-size version of the chocolate bar.
The normal size "Mr. Big" chocolate bars are slightly larger than Oh Henry chocolate bars.
Aren't there better things we could be discussing?

"It remains to be seen whether the future really is feminine. Indeed, although far more than half of all students in architecture faculties are now women, it is certainly not the case that they all really get a foothold in the profession and only very few manage to make the leap into the top ranks — there architecture is still a man's world.
FRAU ARCHITEKT elucidates the topic in 22 portraits, project examples and very personal stories of women in Germany who have significantly influenced architecture or are currently shaping it. The exhibition begins with Emilie Winkelmann, who founded the first architecture studio in Germany in 1907, and ends with post-Reunification architecture in Berlin and the new Federal states. Some of the women architects are barely known or indeed entirely unknown even among professionals, let alone the wider public. The exhibition, together with a comprehensive supporting program, aims to shine a light on women in architecture, to bring them out of anonymity and men's shadow and to give as many of them as possible a face and a voice.
Funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation."

An Interview With Grammy Finalist and Five-Time Emmy Award-Winning Composer and Producer, MARK OBLINGER!
Tag: All Access, All Access Music, All Access Music Group, Artist Interview, High Water Line, Mark Oblinger
Introducing Grammy Finalist and five-time Emmy Award-winning composer/producer/performer Mark Oblinger out of Boulder, CO. The artist takes his well-deserved place at center stage as feature artist to release his debut album, "High Water Line," this summer on July 15th. He had had a lengthy career as a major-label nationally touring singer and guitarist, as well as an award-winning producer and songwriter. The first single from this collection was "No Regrets (Radio Edit)."
Oblinger's illustrious music career includes performing with highly successful national touring acts, chart-topping country rock stalwarts Pure Prairie League ("Amie") and 7 years with Firefall ("Cinderella," "You Are the Woman"). Oblinger also worked with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield, Poco) and in recent years with Garth Brooks, Amy Grant, John Oates, Jeff Hanna (Dirt Band), Drew Emmit and Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon), Billy Nershi (String Cheese Incident) and many others.
A vibrant, fresh approach to classic Indie Rock, "High Water Line" blends unusual musical elements with vivid lyrical pictures to reflect the common storylines of our lives and times. The lyrics deal with a woman's choice ("Julia"), the daily "work" of love ("Love Is"), the uncompromising nature of passion ("No Regrets"), an emphatic call to action/personal change ("Little Bird"), among other themes.
Oblinger pulled together a top-notch team of industry pros to create his new body of work, including producer John McVey (Chuck Pyle, Yonder Mountain String Band) and mix engineer James Tuttle (AAA radio favorites Big Head Todd, String Cheese Incident, Michael Franti, Hot Rize). He recorded the album with drummer Christian Teele, bassist Chris Engleman and Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist Nick Forster (Founder & host of nationally syndicated E-Town, Hot Rize) – all members of the eTones (who backed James Taylor, Rickie Lee Jones, Moby, Ben Harper, Joan Osborne, and many more). Other musicians on the album include bassist Greg Garrison (Leftover Salmon), pianist Eric Moon (Björk, Rare Silk, Jill Sobule), the Railsplitter's Pete Sharpe (mandolin) and Dusty Rider (banjo) plus background vocals by Robert Johnson (Steve Wonder) and Linda Lawson (Amy Grant, Garth Brooks, John Oates).
Learn more about Mark Oblinger in the following All Access interview:
What does a typical day look like for you? What do you have scheduled the rest of today and this week?
Most days are pretty full of music on the business and creative side. I knew I would be busy once the promotion for High Water Line began but it's even more than I thought. Way more! 🙂 I still produce other artists and I'm finishing up a project right now. Once I'm done with that I'll work on finishing up the lyrics on the next group of my tunes.
Now that we are in the latter half of the year, how has 2019 treated you? What are some goals that you have had for yourself this year? How close are you to reaching them or did you already? What are you already excited about for 2020?
2019 has been a fantastic year for me. I completed and released an album that's wanted to come out for years and it's met and exceeded my expectations artistically and the public response has been great. Who could ask for more? I'm already working on the next group of songs that will be recorded at the top of the New Year for a 2020 spring release. And I'm really excited about getting out and playing in 2020 at a variety of venues and festivals. Onward!
Growing up, how important was music in your life? Can you recall the moment when you decided that you wanted to be in this industry? Was it an easy or difficult choice to make?
Music has always been a big part of my life because it helped me connect emotionally with the world when I was young. I carried a little AM radio around when I was about 9 years old and can remember hearing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and being transported to another world. I knew then that I wanted to be part of the music business. Write, perform, record – anything associated with that feeling. And it was as natural as breathing. Not much choice there!
Was there ever a time when you thought about doing something else? If you weren't a musician today, what else could you see yourself doing? Would you be as fulfilled in life?
I've always had other interests and would have loved to be a master carpenter. I love to work with my hands and create things that could be a special part of people's daily living experience and even treasured. Like music, I love the level of detail that can go into crafting fine woodwork and the satisfaction of a job well done.
What has been the biggest surprise so far about making music your career? What has been an unexpected or welcome challenge to it all? What has been the best part about it all?
I guess the biggest surprise is the amount of twists and turns the journey takes to stay "in the game." I performed and toured in my 20's and 30's but once I got off the road and started a family, I realized I needed to broaden my skill set if I was going to stay connected to the business. I started doing studio work as a vocalist, which led to producing other people's vocals, and then songs and albums. That meant learning how to engineer and record sound, which led to outfitting a home studio. I was always drawn to the emotional power of film scoring as such a critical part of the movie experience so I got into scoring some local movie projects and that led to writing pieces for some major TV shows and a number of Emmy awards. The Emmys were for working on a great children's program called "The Big Green Rabbit" so it doesn't get much more rewarding than that.
After being in so many bands over the years, what has it been like branching out on your own and releasing solo material? Why did it take so long to finally do this?
Releasing this solo album has been both the most terrifying and gratifying experience I could ever image. I've been a bandleader before but never one that played exclusively my compositions so that's new ground musically and emotionally. I think it took so long to take this step because of my inability to fully accept myself as the artist "I am" as opposed to the artist I thought I should be or sound like. It's so easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others and until you break out of that box, it's tough to let your creative voice shine. I've received a lot of recognition over the years from my children's compositions and work for film/TV (Grammy Nominee and Emmy Awards). Coupling that with a "if not now, when" mantra that I've whole-heartedly adopted with the growing loss of so many of my contemporaries and friends made it possible to finally have the confidence to let this happen. Plus, I had to get over the fact that no matter how well I put these songs together, they'll be folks that like the music and folks that don't – and that's fine and just part of being an artist.
What was it like putting together your debut solo album, "High Water Line" this past July? Did anything surprise you about the overall process? How did you go about choosing "No Regrets" to be the first single released?
Having produced a lot of albums for other artists and a number of successful children's albums of my own (2012 Grammy Nominee JumpinJazz Kids – A Swinging Jungle Tale), I understand the technical process pretty well. The hard part was finding someone to help make the often-tough artistic choices that go along with it. Fortunately I found producer John McVey, shared my vision for each song and he helped me stay true to where we needed to go – and also knew when to lighten the reins a bit when we needed to go left or right. His guidance was invaluable! Being a perfectionist, I obsessed over the things I thought I would – but was also surprised by the amount of things I let go of creatively. That also comes with hiring absolutely fantastic musicians. Sometimes (often) it's best just to get out of the way!
"No Regrets" was kind of a latecomer to the party and I had doubts about whether it fit into the album with its "hip-hop" groove and banjo/mandolin accompaniment. But I got a lot of response from younger and older listeners that really resonated with the vibe so it seemed like a good choice. I also knew we were going to release more songs to help round out my artist profile so the edginess of "No Regrets" might be viewed artistically as a risk – but I liked that choice. Go big or go home!
Where can people see you perform next? Do you have any fall tour dates scheduled yet?
I have a number of dates coming up locally plus some shows in NYC and some performances at the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance in Connecticut during the first week of November. From there, I start looking at festival bookings for the spring and summer of 2020. You can keep in the loop at markoblinger.com.
How do you think you have grown as a musician since you first started making music?
I think the more you work at your craft, the better listener you become – listening to what others are playing and then responding with note choices that can embellish and stimulate the "conversation." I've definitely improved a bunch in that regard and hope to continue to grow in that way. And learning that silence (not playing) is also a very valid note choice.
How do you feel about social media? What has social media done for your career so far?
I love the power of social media to connect us but it's no substitute for actually physically being there. My social media campaign has connected me to many groups of people that I never could have reached before, so I hope to use this tool to tour successfully where a potentially receptive audience is already waiting and aware of my music.
Who are some of your favorite artists or rather, what musicians have continued to inspire you and your music? Who would you absolutely love to work with in the future?
I'm still inspired by some of the artists I grew up with – Peter Gabriel, John Prine, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt and a host of others. Ry Cooder! Most of these folks are still out there performing and, most importantly, still working at perfecting their craft. There are a bunch of younger artists that also knock me out and of late, Maggie Rogers is my favorite. I'm inspired by her complete willingness to lay bare her thoughts/feelings and just go for it! I would love to connect and see how she "creates" her world.
If you had an unlimited budget and your schedule was free, what would your dream music video look like?
It's not so much what it would look like but more of what it would say. I would want to bring people together from different walks of life, points of view, circumstance and show them how similar they really are and how many things we actually share and value. And not in some over-simplified "kumbaya – everything's gonna be fine if we just drop our hate" message. It's way more complicated than that – especially these days. Maybe you start with simple images of people from different cultures and economic means doing their daily tasks and move towards shots that capture our common joys and fears – playing with their young children, family gatherings, the beauty of our natural world, the loss of loved ones, loneliness and end of life. And then we begin to mix those images together where their lives meet and they trade places and experience those common emotions, wants and needs in another person's shoes. No judgments on how each of us got there – just reminding us how similar we are on the most basic level. And maybe that begins to fuel greater connection/understanding between us.
Where would you love to hear a song of yours played?
I would of course love to hear a song of mine played at some giant arena or at the Kennedy Center or on Broadway – and at the same time, I would be just as happy to hear one of my songs played on an old, out of tune piano at someone's family gathering where people are joyfully singing together. In the end, it's all about that connection.
At the end of the day, what do you hope people take away from your music?
I hope people can hear the beauty I try to create and feel my sense of struggle with life's challenges and the work it takes to be comfortable with just how perfectly flawed I think we all are. I spent the majority of my music career uncomfortable with my "humanity" – warts and all – and once I embraced them, it let all the things that mattered to me as an artist flow. And it's still a work in progress. As a great songwriting friend of mine says, "What is most vulnerable – is most universal." The thing you're most scared to say as a writer is the thing that everyone can relate to – and I hope I've done some of that with my music.
Would you like to share anything else about yourself or your music with our readers?
I guess just the desire to see you in an audience sometime in the near future and share this great experience of live music together!
