Anna Sui | La Vie de Boheme Perfume
I posted my Anna Sui perfume wish list from Click Fragrance a while back (here). I did mention that I wanted to work through the list as Anna Sui is one of a few brands that I plan to someday own or at least 'try' every available fragrance. Bond No. 9 and Chloe are a few others.
Anna Sui La Vie de Boheme was launched in late 2013 and I think for most people it was the amazing packaging that drew them in. The bottle itself is a real work of art and the box too is so intricate that I'd absolutely be framing that if it was large enough (ponders buying a smaller frame).
The fragrance, in my opinion, is light, feminine and whimsical; I say whimsical because it's neither aquatic, floral or fruity and seems to come across as a tad ethereal, fresh air with flowers, fruits and a touch of romance. It's so hard to describe because I've never really had or tried a scent that's quite like this but it's so lovely. In this case, being unique works for the fragrance and the brand as a whole.
The company were inspired by the bohemian style and spirit Anna Suit was quoted saying...
'' The La Vie de Boheme lifestyle always evolves, but the constant remains the same. And that is always a woman who is a bit defiant, a bit romantic, a bit artistic. In essence, it's truly a modern woman. Yes, the signature look may be mixed patterns, flowing dresses, boots, floppy hats, but every generation brings its own attitude to it, a unique expression of personal style.''
For me, it hits the spiritual aspect but I don't think it's deep enough or earthy enough to really fall into the bohemian fragrance category. I also don't think the packaging is bohemian at all and this would have fallen more into a fantasy or romance type category. It's a shame really that it was miss-marketed as it could have been so much more. I'd love if they released a dark version which is where they typically add some resins and woods to give it more of a sultry, evening scent *sighs* throw some moss, rosewood and some amber in this bad boy and it would be incredible!
Notes include Turkish rose, sparkling pear, berries and pitahaya accord. The heart notes include peony and the base is created with dry woods, sandalwood, musk and black vanilla. Initially, I only get the pear and pitahaya; this is quickly followed by the peony and the berries - for me, the dry woods, musk, vanilla and sandalwood don't make an appearance before it fades around the three-hour mark.
The great thing, however, is that this gorgeous perfume cost less than £20! It was purchased from Click Fragrance and they do stock tons of designer fragrances and cosmetics. Next on my list is Anna Sui Live Your Dream (£17.94) and Anna Sui Forbidden Dream (£17.94). I'm ultimately hoping that one of those two is dark and mysterious with a hint of sexy? has anyone tried any of these two?

Tight Hip Flexors causing you grief?!
I have struggled with tight hip flexors, they took years to get tight and every day I work on giving them more flexibility. Many of my clients struggle with the same issue, with tight hip flexors affecting their posture and giving pain in the lower back. I was interested to read this article citing the awareness of the body in assisting with the change in movement patterns, something I try to make all my clients aware of in my Pilates mat classes.
Flexion (drawing the legs towards the trunk or making your bicep pop, for example) is a primary piece of our fear response and human beings are a terrified bunch. This fear manifests in the pelvis through a chronic shortening or engagement of muscles and keeps us stuck in a state of constant alarm. Our body flexes and extends and rotates and we are forever searching for balance in the front, back and sides of the body to allow for these movements to be successful. The search is all too often in vain.
This entry was posted in Interesting reading, Pilates for back pain and tagged Back pain, Body Awareness, Hip Flexors, Pilates, Sports training.
More and more men are turning up to my classes which is great news in shattering the myth that Pilates is just for women. Joseph Pilates was a weight lifter and boxer before he developed his Contrology method in addressing complete mind and body fitness.
Pilates is highly relevant to mens fitness. The integrative component of Pilates can be especially beneficial for men, whose workouts often emphasize a part-by-part approach to muscular development, such as what one finds in weightlifting.

What can I say about Saddle Mountain RV Park and campground in Carmel Valley?
We've RV'd here numerous times and each time gets better than the last. The breathtaking valley views, the convenient location (all within striking distance: Highway 1, the beach, Aquarium, 17 Mile, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Big Sur, Garland State Park, restaurants, and grocery stores), pet friendly (must be on leash), hiking trails, nice clean bathrooms, hot showers, free Wi-Fi, and plenty of parking. Our 4 year old especially enjoyed swimming in the pool, playing badminton and horseshoes, exploring on her bike, and nature walks.
The only disappointments were not being able to have a fire-pit wood campfire (only propane), a very chilly "heated" pool, and no on-site laundry facility. However, the pleasant staff made-up for it by being so professional and accommodating; they referred us to local launderettes within 1.5 miles. Lastly, the one-lane bridge looks precarious- it's safe. Just take your time crossing it and note that the left turn up the hill to the RV park will sneak-up on you. If you're towing, it might be a good idea to unhook prior to turning onto Schulte Rd. while you're on Carmel Valley Rd.
As world travelers and having lived in other countries, I must say this is one of our favorite places on earth. Cheers and happy travels!
Well, I'm sure that in the coming years, a lot of improvements will be made for the place. Do you think you can recommend this place for first-time campers?

Our community is lucky to have clean creeks, intact forests and abundant wildlife, both on land and in the water. Yet, more than ever, residents are experiencing the effects of a changing climate, such as shoreline flooding from sea level rise, more storm events, and summer droughts, and these will likely continue.
We are committed to reducing our community's carbon footprint to limit climate change, working to enhance our environment's resiliency, and finding ways for us all to live more sustainably.
Our forests, waterways, foreshore and parks make West Vancouver a great place to live. They also provide valuable services for our community. The District of West Vancouver is one of the first Canadian municipalities to estimate the value of our natural assets in terms of the services they provide annually and into the future.
West Vancouver is home to many wild animals, including raccoons, coyotes, skunks, cougars and bears. It's important that we do what we can to keep wildlife in the wild and out of our neighbourhoods.
Tackling climate change requires a range of actions—to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and also to prepare for the impacts that it will bring to the District.
The natural gas used for space heating, cooking, and the heating of water for showers, appliances, and pools makes housing the largest source of GHGs in West Vancouver.
Invasive Plants & Insects
An invasive species is any non-native organism that causes economic or environmental harm. In West Vancouver, we have identified a target list of invasive plants. The chafer beetle is an invasive insect that damages turf on lawns, boulevards, sports fields and in parks.
Environmental stewardship is about caring for our natural assets. District of West Vancouver staff and local stewardship groups lead many stewardship initiatives. There are plenty of ways for you to get involved!
The District is committed to reducing GHGs in daily operations as well as policies and procedures.
Trees are an important part of our forested community. They are valued by our community and provide many benefits.
Creeks and streams are an important part of our coastal environment. They carry rain and melted snow to the ocean, and provide important habitat for fish.
Council Priority
On July 8, 2019, West Vancouver Council passed a resolution declaring that climate change constitutes an emergency for the District of West Vancouver.
While the District has actively pursued sustainable practices and reduction of GHGs for some time, the climate change crisis is escalating.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has recommended emissions reduction targets of 45 per cent below 2010 levels by 2030 and 100 per cent below 2010 levels by 2050 in order to limit global warming, and Council has adapted our climate change goals to meet those targets.

Q: SaveChangesOnDbContextAsync has never been called ABP has added an overridable function called SaveChangesOnDbContextAsync that allow us to intercept any insert/update/delete operation as in this link: https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/4659
I tried to override SaveChangesOnDbContextAsync in a class that inherits AbpDbContext like the following but it has never been called whenever I update the data:
public override async Task<int> SaveChangesOnDbContextAsync(bool acceptAllChangesOnSuccess, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
   {
       var result = await base.SaveChangesAsync();
       return result;
   }

A: That method is provided for your application code to bypass the logic in AbpDbContext.SaveChangesAsync(). ABP does not call it.
This is what the requestor meant:
public override async Task<int> SaveChangesAsync(bool acceptAllChangesOnSuccess, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
{
    try
    {
        return await base.SaveChangesAsync(acceptAllChangesOnSuccess, cancellationToken);
    }
    catch (AbpDbConcurrencyException)
    {
        // Handle it
        // ...

        // Directly call Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContext's SaveChangesAsync(bool, CancellationToken) to not repeatedly
        // create audit logs, update concurrencystamps, or trigger entity events etc. as AbpDbContext's version would do
        return await base.SaveChangesOnDbContextAsync(acceptAllChangesOnSuccess, cancellationToken);
    }
}

You probably just want to override SaveChangesAsync instead.

gelism requires Christians to imitate the people around them. Many evangelicals cannot even imagine this interpretation being mistaken. It is even repeated by some fairly reputable commentators (Gordon Fee, for example) who, however, offer few reasons for accepting it.
Broadly, Paul answers this question in two ways. In chapter 8, he argues that an idol is nothing. Since meat offered to idols has in reality been offered to nothing, it is not intrinsically tainted or polluted. All other things being equal, it may be eaten with safety.
In chapter 10, however, Paul argues that all other things are not necessarily equal. A key concept in 1 Corinthians 10 is identification. Paul notes that the Israelites were identified with ("baptized into") Moses, and consequently with Christ, in the cloud and in the sea (1‐4). Because they were identified with God and His work, any subsequent identification with idols was intolerable (5‐10). Their experience serves as an analogy to instruct believers today (11‐14), and underlines the importance of keeping away from idolatry. Eating the Lord's Supper identifies the believer with Christ (15‐17), just as eating from the altar identified the Levitical priests with God's work (18). In the same way, eating idol‐meat can sometimes identify a person with idolatry, which is implicitly to identify with the demon who stands behind the idol (20‐22). This identification is a terrible sin that provokes the Lord to a dangerous jealousy. Clearly, Paul thinks that Christians should never do anything, including eating meat offered to idols, that would identify believers with demons.
Not only is eating to be restricted by the principle of identification; it is also to be restricted by the principle of avoiding offense. Paul names three categories of people: Jew (unsaved Israelites), Gentile (unsaved pagans), and the church of God (New Testament Christians). If eating offends any of these groups, it must be avoided (31‐33).
How far is this principle of avoiding offense to be taken? Paul actually addresses this question in chapter 8, where he gives one example of what it means to offend. Paul assumes that Christians must never defile their own consciences, even in circumstances under which they may actually have liberty (7). In other words, if a believer thinks it is wrong to eat meat offered to idols, then it actually is wrong for him or her. What if such a "weak" believer were to observe another Christian eating and enjoying the meat? Then the weak Christian might be emboldened to eat, even at the cost of transgressing conscience. Under these circumstances, not only has the weak Christian sinned by violating conscience, but the stronger Christian has also sinned by setting a bad example (9‐12).
Paul takes this very seriously. He states emphatically that if meat is going to cause his brother to offend, then he will not eat meat as long as the world stands (13). This seems like an extreme statement, and a reader might think that Paul is hyperbolizing. Evidently, Paul anticipated that the Corinthians might read his words with some incredulity. Therefore, he goes on in chapter 9 to assure them that he means exactly what he says.
Chapter 9 is Paul's extended insistence that he is perfectly willing to surrender all sorts of rights and privileges. First, he establishes that he actually has certain rights and privileges: he has a right to sustenance, to take a wife, and to expect financial support (3‐6). These privileges are grounded in his apostleship (1‐2), in the example of the other apostles (5), in natural law (7), in the moral precedent of Mosaic legislation (9‐10), and in the relative value of spiritual and temporal goods (12). Paul insists that just as the Aaronic priests derived their living from the sacrifices of the altar, God has ordained that vocational preachers of the gospel should derive their living from their preaching (13‐14).
These are Paul's rights. Yet he insists that he does not use them (12, 14). What matters is the preaching of the gospel (15‐17). The advance of the gospel is far more important than the exercise of any right or authority (18). Therefore, Paul's actual conduct confirms that he means what he says about not eating meat if it offends a brother. He is perfectly willing to limit his rights for the sake of the gospel.
This entire discourse provides the context for 1 Corinthians 9:19‐23. These verses are popularly taken as Paul's description of his positive strategy to gain a hearing for the gospel. People often assume that Paul attempted to imitate the customs, habits, and mores of those to whom he ministered, acting like a Jew when with Jews, a Gentile when with Gentiles, a weak person when among the weak, and so forth.
Some Christians go a step further. They find in this passage permission, or even an obligation, to adopt the same evangelistic strategy. To reach Goths, for example, they get tattooed and pierced and dress in black. To reach bikers they wear leather, and maybe even colors. The mind staggers to imagine their ministry among nudists or transvestites.
Paul's point, however, is not that he imitates the customs, habits, traditions, mores, or even the look and feel of his intended audience. Rather, his point is about the exercise of his rights and liberties. When among Jews, he exercises no right that would be offensive to Jews. Among the weak, he does nothing to offend the weak. Among the Gentiles, he does nothing that would offend a Gentile. Paul's point is that rights and liberties are to be freely surrendered for the sake of the gospel.
Perhaps we should mimic the customs and even the preferences of those to whom we minister. If so, that will have to be justified from some other passage. 1 Corinthians 9:19‐23 simply teaches us not to offend those whom we love.
This essay was originally published in In the Nick of Time. It is reprinted here by permission from the author.
The main issue was 'should we sit down in an idol's temple since we know an idol is nothing.' With that as a backdrop, I think it makes the conclusion of this article even stronger.


Our standards for quality originated with our founder, Vinzenz Mueller. In 1893, he brought the knowledge of German instrument craftsmanship to the United States and established a tradition that has carried through to today. His successor, William Merz, established the V. Mueller® name as one synonymous with innovation and collaboration.
In 1951, Leonard Snowden and George Pencer introduced the revolutionary tungsten carbide insert to the jaws of surgical instruments. BD is now proud to offer the Snowden-Pencer® family of products to our customers.
These men dedicated their lives to improving surgical instruments and patient care. Our customers have always expected high quality and first-rate technology from our surgical instruments, which are promises BD continues to deliver on today. Every new product we release is built with the same high standards our customers have come to expect for the past 120+ years.
BD prides itself on the quality craftsmanship of our V. Mueller and Snowden-Pencer surgical instruments. Though technology has progressed over the years, all of our instruments maintain a handcrafted component.
Small details make a real difference in the hands of surgeons. That is why we consider our surgical instruments an art form, and attention to detail is critical. This mindset and pride help ensure our surgical instruments are among the highest quality.

Can't build on children's park, South MCD told
The NGT directed the South corporation to restore the "tot lot" — defined as a small playground for children, as per the Master Plan — to its original condition.

The National Green Tribunal has restrained the South Delhi Municipal Corporation from carrying out construction of toilets and staff room for its employees in a playground at South Delhi's Gulmohar Park area. The NGT bench reiterated that the construction activity, measuring around 0.2 acres, unless otherwise specified is not permitted under the Master Plan 2021.
The NGT directed the South corporation to restore the "tot lot" — defined as a small playground for children, as per the Master Plan — to its original condition, "demolish the structure raised" and remove all rubble from the area.
"Anything constructed in an open area, which is designated as a tot lot area in a Master Plan, unless specifically permitted therein amounts to invasion of open area necessary and planned for maintaining salubrious environment and as such would cause damage to it," the bench said.
The corporation had contended that the park is a "community park" and "the Master Plan for Delhi permits amenity structures for housing equipment room/toilet block/guard room in such community park". But the tribunal, after perusing the layout plan of DDA, said that there was no mention of a "community park", except a reference to the open space or "tot lot".
"We have to hold that this is not a community park but a tot lot. No area, therefore, from tot lot area can be put to use for raising any type of construction at the peril of the environment available to the local resident as per the Master Plan," the tribunal said.
The bench was hearing a plea by Gulmohar Park Journalists Colony Welfare Association seeking directions to South corporation to "forthwith cease from the construction activity inside the park and demolish the structures raised". The petition had claimed that corporation had started construction of a room in October last year in the area and this would rob the residents of the open space and access to fresh air.
The South corporation, in response, said the construction of the structure was necessary for storing horticulture equipment and machinery, since the existing structure was in a dilapidated condition.

The number of women who used pot during pregnancy may be much higher than the study reported since some may have denied using it because recreational pot was illegal when the data was collected.
Canada's nationwide legalization of recreational cannabis in 2018 was a catalyst for the study, according to El-Chaâr.
She said she was concerned that legalization could prompt a rise in marijuana use among pregnant women, despite the lack of evidence that it is safe.
Marijuana use among pregnant women in the United States is already on the rise, according to the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse: 7% of pregnant women reported using the drug in a 2016-2017 survey.
Andrea Roberts, a senior research scientist at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, shared similar concerns that women might interpret legalization as a sign that pot is "somehow harmless."
Roberts emphasized that pregnancy is a highly sensitive period, and women "should really not use any substances that they don't have to use during pregnancy."
There's more about the risks of using pot while pregnant at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Sanger have discovered almost 2,000 bacterial species living in the human gut microbiota, many of which were unknown.
Researchers identify novel gut bacteria species and call for more data from beyond Europe and North America. The team used a range of computational methods to analyse samples from individuals worldwide and the results, published in the Nature, highlight that although researchers are possibly getting closer to creating a comprehensive list of the commonly found microbes in the North American and European gut microbiota, there is a significant lack of data from other regions of the world.
What do you know about gut microbiota?
The human gut is a nesting ground for many species of microbes, collectively referred to as the gut microbiota. Although extensive studies in the field has been previously conducted, researchers are still working on identifying the individual microbial species that live in our guts and understanding what roles they play in human health.
There are many numerous reasons why some microbial species that are part of the gut microbiota have remained unknown for so long, such as a low abundance in the gut or an inability to survive outside it. By using computational methods, researchers were able to reconstruct the genomes of these bacteria.
Rob Finn, Group Leader at EMBL-EBI explains: "Computational methods allow us to understand bacteria that we cannot yet culture in the lab.
The research emphasised how the composition of gut bacteria differs around the world, and how significant it is for the samples that we study to reflect this diversity.
"We are seeing a lot of the same bacterial species crop up in the data from European and North American populations," continues Finn. "However, the few South American and African datasets we had access to for this study revealed significant diversity not present in the former populations.

Gray Morrow
Gray Morrow comic
Orion and Edge of Chaos
Gray Morrow's career spanned over forty years - he toiled as an illustrator, comic book storyteller, painter, creator of myths and tales, a ghost artist for others behind on their deadlines, and a comic strip artist. His talents were varied and he was consistently good in a profession where quantity was and is sometimes more important than quality. It's clear to anyone who takes the time to look at his body of work that he had point of view that was consistent, compelling, and good to look at. Orion, his homage to the epic "swashbuckler" newspaper strips of the 1930s and pulp sci-fi and fantasy, was published installments in Heavy Metal magazine in the 1970s, but has never been published in its entirety, until now. Read one of Morrow's favorite efforts which bristles with pulp sensabilites, engaging characters, and non-stop action. Also, Morrow's three comic book story arc, Edge of Chaos, his rumination on the Greek myths, is also assembled, for the first time as a complete story to compliment Orion.

Yahoo Explains Cookie Forgery Related To Two 2016 Breaches
Yahoo's recent update on forged cookies is in relation to two, not three, security breaches announced last year.
Dark Reading Staff
Yahoo has provided further clarification on the cookie forging activity related to data breaches disclosed in September and December of last year.
Earlier this week, the company began to issue warnings to inform users of forged cookies used to steal their information. A Dark Reading report implied the forged cookies were used in a third incident; in fact, this activity was limited to the two 2016 breaches.
"Yahoo has connected some of the cookie forging activity to the same state-sponsored actor believed to be responsible for the data theft we disclosed on September 22, 2016," a Yahoo spokesperson says.
The alerts sent this week are a continuation of Yahoo's ongoing investigation into the cookie forging disclosed in December, not a new event. Both the September and December data breaches are related to the theft of user data in 2014.
Further, the company states, it believes the separate theft of user data in August 2013, which was disclosed on December 14, 2016, is likely unrelated to the incident announced on September 22.
Yahoo believes the investigation of this breach is in its final stages.
Shuman Ghosemajumder, CTO at Shape Security, says this update doesn't add much to the overall story; Yahoo is simply continuing efforts promised in December.
What's important to remember, he says, is this credential spill drives potential for millions of account takeovers on thousands of major websites. Cybercriminals will have an easier time increasing the number of compromised credentials far beyond the two billion spilled.
"Credential spills are one of the most widespread, yet misunderstood, security breaches," says Ghosemajumder. Most people will focus on users' Yahoo accounts, but the damage affecting those has been done. Yahoo will simply tell users to reset their passwords.
"The real issue now is that these passwords will be used to breach thousands of other websites unrelated to Yahoo, as cybercriminals use advanced automated tools to discover where users have used those same passwords on other sites, through credential stuffing attacks, the most common attacks on web applications and APIs today," he explains.

Okay ladies…put your hair in a pony tail, throw on your comfy fat pants (i.e. sweatpants), and unhook your bra (we all know that is the best part of every day!)…because today's post is far from glamorous.
…for a DIY that isn't very pretty. I figured we've had a lot of glamorous posts lately (like yesterday's patio reveal…and Bridget's gorgeous office last week!) so today let's dish on something a little less beautiful.
Okay, I'm not exactly talking up this DIY project. I swear that it is actually pretty awesome, super easy, and it's a project that I recommend each and every one of you tackle as soon as possible! Today, I'm going to show you how to install a dual flush kit.
So now many of you may be scratching your heads thinking…what is a dual flush kit? Well, it's a small device that can be installed into most existing toilets to reduce the amount of water it uses each time you flush. To cut to the chase…you hit one button to flush "liquid" waste, and another button to flush ummmm…."#2″. See I told you this isn't the prettiest project we've ever tackled.
But, I'm not gonna lie. That's not the #1 reason why we installed a dual flush in our master bathroom. Sure, I believe in becoming more energy-efficient. And who doesn't want to save money on their water bill? But the real reason we installed this little guy? Our toilet was driving me bonkers!
The handle and flapper were so old that it was constantly breaking. Often times I would come into the bathroom to find that the toilet has been running all day long. I'd open the back of the tank, push the flapper down, and hope that it would cooperate. Finn and I kept saying we should call the landlord to come fix it, but it just never happened. Sometimes when you're a renter you hate bugging your landlord every time something small breaks, especially when you know it would just be a heck of a lot faster to fix it yourself. So on a random weekday night, I finally decided to end my hateful relationship with our toilet once and for all.
I found this dual flush kit for $20 at Home Depot. It looked fairly simple to install, and my confidence grew when I saw the words "Install in 10 minutes without tools." No tools? Yes please!
Here is the contraption. It may look complicated and scary…but it really isn't. The blue part regulates how much water is let out when you flush. You can easily adjust the level right on there.
Here is the new handle. You'll see the top button is for #1, and bottom button is for #2. It's actually looks pretty sleek and futuristic-looking if you ask me.
Okay, so let's get going on this 10 minute installation. I first opened up the back of my tank and took a looksie around. Not exactly the most gorgeous picture we've ever shown on DIY Playbook. But hey, it's a toilet tank.
The first step is optional…and that is to turn off your water supply and drain the back tank. I decided to forego this optional step. Consider me a lazy do-it-yourselfer. Then it was time to remove all of the old stuff in the tank….the flapper and the handle.
This required no tools for me. It was just a matter of unhooking a few parts.
The yucky handle and flapper were removed in 2 minutes flat.
Now I had an empty toilet that was ready for new parts.
To install, I first slid the bottom part of the kit onto the area where the old flapper was located. The kit even came with a zip tie to hold this piece into place, so I tightened it up nicely. Then I attached the top part of the dual-flush with a simple drop and twist motion.
Next up, installing the new handle. Again, no tools required for this step. You simply push in the blue button and the handle pops off. Then just fish it through the hole in the side of the toilet and tighten by hand.
That's it! Seriously…how easy was that? Before putting the lid back on the tank I tried the buttons a couple of times. Thankfully it was a success.
Now it's your turn. Go and buy this $20 kit and install it on your home's toilet. I promise you'll notice a different in your next water bill.

Listmas 2014: The Top 50 Albums of the Year [#50-41]
In best albums 2014, BNM, class of 2014, listmas, listmas 2014, lists, music
This is the big one. Well to be more accurate, this is the START of the big one. The Top 50 Albums countdown is the cornerstone of Listmas every year, and the 2014 version is looking pretty stellar. Before we begin, let me quickly go over the basic ground rules to help explain the rankings and how records qualified for this list. Any full length record released in the United States over the course of the 2014 calendar year was eligible for inclusion. EPs are not eligible (sorry Royksopp & Robyn), nor are soundtracks (sorry Mica Levi and the Under the Skin OST), mixtapes and "Various Artists" song collections. It's equal parts funny and sad to me that at the start of the 2013 Top 50 Albums countdown, I mentioned that the site had fallen off the wagon in terms of album reviews for that year, but promised that "in 2014, things are going to be different!" They actually were different in that the total number of album reviews declined yet again. There's a myriad of excuses I can claim contributed to that problem, including some serious bouts with writer's block and having a lot more general life responsibilities on my plate that snatched away the free time I'd normally spend writing. Ultimately though, I didn't push myself hard enough to get things written and published in a timely fashion. I've actually got a handful of unfinished album reviews from across the year that I kept delaying until they were forgotten about. They're all way past expiration date now, but maybe I'll use pieces of those writings in the short capsules for each record on this list. When you really think about it, the Top 50 Albums countdown is pretty much just a mini-review marathon anyway. Almost all of these you'll be seeing and reading about for the very first time on the site, so enjoy the surprise and suspense of what might be on the way this week. Today I'm happy to kick things off with the very first of five installments. Take a hop, skip and the jump to check out my Top 50 Albums of 2014: #50-41!
Listmas 2014: The Top 50 Songs of the Year [#50-41]
In best songs 2014, BNM, listmas, listmas 2014, lists, mp3, music
Welcome, dear reader, to the official kick off of Listmas 2014! For the uninformed, Listmas is the grand tradition here on the good 'ol site that celebrates the end of the year with a series of ranked lists. It's not really a new or novel idea, and in fact pretty much every site that covers music releases their own lists, though I suppose very few put it all together under one broad label like this. Yet the word has also become part of the jargon people use to talk about this list-making season every year. Anyways, it's my sincere hope that you'll keep checking back and reading the site over the next couple of weeks while the slow roll out of Listmas takes place. We're starting this week with the Top 50 Songs of 2014 countdown, and following that up next week with the Top 50 Albums of 2014 countdown. There are currently designs for another extra list or two leading up to Christmas and the site's annual holiday break, but I won't go into detail on those yet because there's still a good chance they might never be written or published. The last couple of years this endeavor has become increasingly difficult to put together, and resulted in delays that pushed a list or two past the holidays. So let's keep our fingers crossed that everything gets done in a prompt and concise fashion this year.
Today we begin the journey of counting down the Top 50 Songs of 2014. Before we launch into this, a couple of quick notes. This list will be parsed out at the rate of 10 songs per post, ideally kicking off on Monday and ending on Friday. Along with the artist and song title, I'm pleased to provide different ways for you to hear each of the songs on this list. Some will be available for free download, but most will be streams through Soundcloud, YouTube or Spotify. The hope is to make all of this music as universally accessible as possible so you can hear everything should you so choose. Once the list is complete, I'll include a link to a full playlist on Spotify where you can hear almost everything, as a few artists on this list don't have or refuse to use Spotify. In regards to what you can expect, I'd say don't make any assumptions and mentally prepare yourself to be outraged at some point. You're not going to love every song, and the picks range from the very obscure to the super mainstream, even in the Top 10. No artist is featured more than once, though that rule technically doesn't apply to collaborations or featured vocal spots. The goal is to spread the love as widely as possible, so hopefully that comes across in the end. So without further ado, please join me past the jump for Faronheit's Top 50 Songs of 2014: #50-41!

Pitchfork Music Festival 2014: Friday Recap
In chicago, lineup, live music, music, music festivals, pitchfork music festival, pitchfork music festival 2014, show review
The first day of the 2014 Pitchfork Music Festival is in the books, and it was an interesting one to say the least. You could say that the festival got off to a very relaxed start, which has both benefits and drawbacks. The biggest positive is that you can just kind of chill out and move at your own pace, without a whole lot of pressure to be up and about dancing or moving from stage to stage. The downside is there wasn't a whole lot to get overly excited about. My approach to Friday was to treat it a bit like a sampler platter, spending a little bit of time with just about every artist performing tp get a taste, and then moving on to something else. I can't say anything was particularly bad, and I didn't always want to walk away, but it's always good to know you're not missing something completely mindblowing on the opposite side of the park. So here's a bit of a chronicle detailing the performances I saw and how worthwhile they all were.
My day started with Hundred Waters, who were the first band of the shortened Friday, and were playing unopposed due to Death Grips' breakup/cancellation. Singer Nicole Miglis joked about it at the start of their set: "This is when we start playing Death Grips covers, right?" And so, with a little bit of a wink, they launched into a set that was comprised primarily of snogs off their new album The Moon Rang Like A Bell. On record the band is equal parts introspective, beautiful and energetic, and those aspects were even more amplified in their live performance. The highs were much higher, the lows a little lower, and all of it was tackled with grace and aplomb. The moderate sized crowd that had gathered to watch seemed to enjoy themselves, though very few felt the need to bust out their dance moves on the handful of tracks where it was appropriate to do so. Maybe next time.
As Hundred Waters doesn't have a wealth of material to pull from, they finished their set in 45 minutes, leaving a 20 minute gap before Neneh Cherry and RocketNumberNine started up on the nearby Green Stage. Thankfully Factory Floor was just taking the stage on the other side of the park, so I ventured over there to have a short look at what that setup was like. Part of me suspected the trio would be essentially playing music with laptops and turntables, fiddling with knobs the entire time while encouraging people to dance, but the actual reality of it was far different. Sure, Dominic Butler's primary job is to twist and turn knobs and trigger samples, but there's also Gabriel Gumsey playing drums and multi-instrumentalist Nik Colk adding guitar, keyboards and distorted vocals to the proceedings. Listening to their records, you would never know. It makes their performance a lot more interesting to watch, and also somehow infuses even more energy into their songs. About half of the crowd was dancing pretty hard for the 20 minutes I was there, and showed no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Part of me wishes I could have stayed.
Yet Neneh Cherry was calling my name. As she's been making music since 1989, Cherry is now a music industry veteran with several prolific records under her belt. She was a genre-crossing pioneer back in her early days, and her latest album Blank Project with RocketNumberNine proves she still hasn't lost that touch. The same can be said for her live performance, which was packed with just the right mixture of energy and experimentation. While her set started off with a ballad, things picked up quickly from there, and soon she was dancing and whipping her hair around with the beats. She seemed to be having a lot of fun, and the crowd was more than willing to go along on that ride with her. Not particularly excited about looking back to her earlier records, she mostly ignored them, save for a couple of songs that included her biggest hit "Buffalo Stance." Ever the innovator though, everything old sounded new again by turning the classics inside out to the point where they were nearly unrecognizable. It would be disappointing to hear a beloved song completely changed if it wasn't so damn good.
Sharon Van Etten has really grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years, both on record and in her live performance. Whereas four years ago she performed at Pitchfork solo with one record to support, these days she's got a full band and three albums to her name. The songs have gotten more expansive, her stage presence more dynamic. A hit like "Serpents" roared to life with more power and visceral energy than ever, while a ballad like "Every Time the Sun Comes Up" added some late afternoon pathos that was more beautiful than sad. It's always great to see an artist truly flourishing, and Van Etten gets better every single time that I see her.
There's not a whole lot I can say about SZA. I saw her perform three songs and they were all pretty indistinctive, which is a shame because she appears to be a genuinely delightful person. She appeared surprised by and appreciative of the relatively large crowd that had gathered to see her, and encouraged everyone to have fun. If only her songs were a little more suited to the outdoor setting. The arrangements were minimal and the energy was just a touch lacking, leaving many people standing around not entirely sure how they should react. I shrugged my shoulders, decided it wasn't doing much for me, and hoped to discover a better situation on the other side of the park.
Having listened to the Benji record quite a bit these last few months, and being largely familiar with Mark Kozelek's back catalogue as Sun Kil Moon, I was a little concerned that his early evening Pitchfork set on the massive Green Stage might wind up being a bit of a snooze. Turns out that was a pretty accurate description of what transpired. Kozelek and his band were seated on stage for the entire set, which in turn gave the crowd very little reason to stand either. Most spent their time sitting in the grass and chatting with friends, leaving the music as more background accompaniment rather than a priority. Those that did pay close attention were treated to slightly less effective versions of great songs. The biggest problem was the reverb Kozelek used on his vocals, which largely removed the emotional impact of his direct and unflinchingly honest lyrics. By the time he finally did muster up some energy on the sexual history confessional of "Dogs," most of the crowd had scattered to either look for food/drinks or wait for Giorgio Moroder, who started 15 minutes late due to Sun Kil Moon going long.
The smoke machine was in full effect over at the Blue Stage for Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks. It was about the only visual element the band had on stage with them, which is certainly different than what Animal Collective and their other respective side projects have tended to do. But what they lacked visually they made up for sonically. They tore through the songs on their debut album Welcome to the Slasher House with more dissonance and energy than how they appear on record. Even a single like "Little Fang" felt a little more vital and fun in this setting. And the crowd pretty much freaked out in the best way possible. There was all kinds of dancing and crowd surfing near the front, and all kinds of head bobbing and toe tapping near the back. It was a strange, kinetic set, and actually quite delightful.
I've watched enough Giorgio Moroder live videos to know what his performances are like. At 74, he's experiencing a big revival in his career thanks in no small part to his work with Daft Punk on their latest album Random Access Memories. The man has worked on probably hundreds of dance and disco hits over the course of his lifetime, and he played some of the biggest ones during his set. His work with Donna Summer featured heavily, with "Love to Love You," "Hot Stuff" and "I Feel Love," among others. It was almost all easily recognizable songs, which proved great as the crowd danced up a storm and sang along almost the entire time. Moroder did his part to encourage the party atmosphere, clapping to the beat, throwing his hands in the air, and generally appearing to have a great time as he pretty much just pushed buttons on a laptop. Not the most inspiring stage setup, but with all those classic hits blasting out of the speakers, it didn't matter.
Beck is nothing if not a showman. He's built up an arsenal of funky and fun hits, and there's no way he's not going to give them his all in concert. Kicking things off with "Devil's Haircut," he danced around the stage like there were ants in his pants, and the crowd did the same. This wasn't so much the start of a show as it was the start of a party. He pulled from all over his catalogue, so "Black Tambourine" and "Chemtrails" could sit alongside "Sexx Laws" and "Lost Cause." There were a few more introspective moments around the halfway point in the set, when Beck chose to perform a couple of songs from his somber acoustic new record Morning Phase, but for the most part it was bizness as usual. He closed with a sublime mashup of "Where It's At" and "One Foot in the Grave," complete with harmonica solo, which is standard but is also incredibly effective. Overall it was nice to end the night on a huge high, after the very mellow moments from earlier in the day. Saturday looks to be even more fun, and I'll have a full recap of that very soon, plus photo sets from the entire weekend. Stay tuned!
Pitchfork Music Festival 2014: Friday Preview
In chicago, lineup, live music, music, music festivals, pitchfork music festival, pitchfork music festival 2014
And so it begins. Following yesterday's artist guide, which exposed you to all the sounds of the artists performing at this year's Pitchfork Music Festival, I'm now proud to present the first of three previews guides leading up to the start of the weekend this Friday. Speaking of Friday, that's what we'll talk about right now. The way that this works is pretty simple: I've arranged all of the artists in order of their set times, and separated them according to the hour in which they'll be performing. From there, I'll talk a little bit about each one, and ultimately make a recommendation (as indicated by **) as to which you should see at that time, provided you're able. Even though it's a shorter day than the rest, Friday still has plenty of quality to offer. Learn all about it with the guide below!
Hundred Waters [Red Stage, 3:30]**
With Death Grips calling it quits, the singular obstacle that could have drawn people away from Hundred Waters has now been removed. The band has also gotten a promotion from the comparatively small Blue Stage up to the large Red Stage, as they'll have a full 45 minutes to perform with no competition anywhere else at the festival. Now you may think this is a good excuse to show up later and skip this band, whose material you might not be very familiar with. But let me assure you, Hundred Waters are great, and very much worth showing up early for. In the weeks following the release of their second album The Moon Rang Like A Bell a couple months ago, I developed an addiction to this band that holds pretty steadfast today. They make very chill but very gorgeous electro-pop, and singer Nicole Miglis has the voice of an angel, often twisted in fascinating ways reminiscent of early Bjork. It should make for a delightful start to the weekend, so show up when the gates open!
Factory Floor [Blue Stage, 4:15]
Neneh Cherry with RocketNumberNine [Green Stage, 4:35]**
Factory Floor's sound has been described as "industrial post-punk," which doesn't seem particularly accurate to my ears. They're so much more than that, as they avoid easy characterization by pulling from a wide variety of sources that include disco and more traditional EDM. Primarily they're able to craft interesting, beat-heavy dance music that keeps you guessing. Their self-titled debut album from last year proved to be quite worthwhile, and it's going to be a whole lot of fun watching them grow in both profile and songcraft. If you're in the mood for a groove, Factory Floor are a safe bet. It's somewhat tragic then that they're paired up against Neneh Cherry, who is a legend. Cherry herself probably wouldn't like that "l" word being tossed around so flagrantly, but she's been making music for a few decades now, and when your career gets that long you earn that status whether you want it or not. Equally fascinating is how Cherry remains something of an unknown entity in the United States, where her only breakthrough "hit" was the song "Buffalo Stance" from her 1988 debut album. Perhaps that's why she's only ever played one U.S. show. Her set at Pitchfork will be her second, essentially turning it into a must-see situation. As an artist who is also always innovating and never sticking with one particular style or genre of music for too long, if she does a career-spanning set it will be all sorts of fun and maybe just a little weird. More likely she'll play a lot of stuff from her latest album Blank Project, which is an understated but powerful record that features collaborations with Robyn, electronic duo RocketNumberNine (who will be performing at the fest with her) and Kieran Hebden (aka Four Tet). So yeah, unless you really want to get your dance on at Factory Floor, Neneh Cherry is the one to see.
The Haxan Cloak [Blue Stage, 5:15]
Sharon Van Etten [Red Stage, 5:30]**
To be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure why Pitchfork booked The Haxan Cloak to play this festival. London-based producer Bobby Krlic is the man behind the name, and while what he does is brilliant, it's also incredibly minimalist and dark. The last Haxan Cloak album Excavation was one of my favorites from last year, however it's so subdued and death obsessed that it's never something you want to put on during the daytime. You listen to it in the pitch black of night, in your bedroom, by yourself, with headphones on. It could well function as the soundtrack to your favorite horror film. How this is going to translate via a late afternoon time slot on an outdoor stage is a mystery to me. Part of me thinks there's no way it can work. It'd be great if Krlic proved me wrong. A far better bet is Sharon Van Etten, the dynamic singer-songwriter who continues to grow by leaps and bounds with each new record. When she performed at this festival for the first time in 2010, she performed solo with a single guitar, and at one point couldn't continue because she broke a string. The guys in Modest Mouse lent her a new guitar so she could continue. Four years and two new albums later, she's got a full band behind her, regular radio airplay, and a lot more guitars. Her confidence as a live performher has grown exponentially as well, making her shows lively, beautiful and altogether worthwhile.
SZA [Blue Stage, 6:15]
Sun Kil Moon [Green Stage, 6:25]**
This one's a case of hip hop/R&B vs. folk. Without a doubt, even though SZA will be on the smaller Blue Stage, you will probably be able to hear her set by the Green Stage when Mark Kozelek aka Sun Kil Moon is performing. It's the simple disparity in styles and volume. As to why I'm recommending Sun Kil Moon over SZA, that's purely a selection based on quality of music, not quality of live performance. I'm betting that SZA will put on a thoroughly enjoyable, relatively high energy set, dominated with tracks from her debut album Z. The problem is, that record isn't exactly great, or even pretty good for that matter. Meanwhile, Sun Kil Moon's latest effort Benji is regarded by many critics to be one of 2014's absolute best. It is truly a remarkable record, filled with engaging melodies and lyrical stories that come across like pure poetry. Yet like most solo folk records, it's extremely laid back and bare. If you can find a spot in the grass near the Green Stage to lay down as the sun begins to dip in the sky, there's some real potential that Sun Kil Moon could hit your sweet spot. Or you'll just spend the whole time during his set talking loudly with your friends.
Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks [Blue Stage, 7:15]
Giorgio Moroder [Red Stage, 7:20]**
If there's a conflict to be had on Friday, it's with this time slot. For those who love psychedelia, specifically Animal Collective-style psychedelia, Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks delivers in spades. This is a more straightforward and catchy Animal Collective side project, and their debut album Enter the Slasher House is one of my personal favorites from the first half of 2014. Of course I'm happy to advise you to go and see them if their music is something you might enjoy. But your better bet would be to split your time somewhat unevenly and spending a fair portion at Giorgio Moroder. The man has been part of the music world since the 70s when he helped to turn disco into something huge. He's continued his pioneering ways ever since, to the point of winning a Grammy last year for collaborating with Daft Punk on their Random Access Memories album. All indications are that his set will be very fun, very dance friendly and very familiar. By that, I mean he'll be spinning mixes and remixes of classic dance and disco songs from the last few decades, so you can sing along while showing off your best (or worst) moves. What's not to love?
Beck [Green Stage, 8:30]**
Beck's headlining set should be a delight. You may be worried that his quiet, acoustic album Morning Phase will dominate the set list, but rest assured he'll probably only play 3-4 songs from it. The rest will be tons of classics, from "Where It's At" to "Sexx Laws" to "The New Pollution" and beyond. In other words, there will be no shortage of silly, off-the-wall energy. This is a music festival, and the man knows what the people want to hear. So yes, stick around and enjoy it. Sing or rap along to all the hits. I'll be right there with you.

In mp3, music, pick your poison
If you're planning to do some traveling over the next month, specifically by commercial airplane, here's a new option to help keep you entertained during the flight: stream the new Beck album Morning Phase. Ideally you could always just buy a digital copy of the record and upload it to your laptop, tablet or smartphone before takeoff, but in lieu of that, in-flight internet provider Gogo has partnered with Capitol Records to host a stream of the Beck album for free over the course of the next month. Basically all you need to do is access the Gogo homepage on whatever wifi-equipped flight you're on, and that should give you access to the stream. Don't ask me for any details beyond that, because I don't know them. The reason I'm mentioning it is because it seems like a unique and somewhat cool thing to do, and that Beck record is pretty great. It might serve as the perfect soundtrack to a flight if you're staring out the window as well. So consider checking it out if you're traveling before the end of March. Now let's get to your Monday edition of Pick Your Poison. There's some great tracks today from Alana Amram & The Rough Gems, Arum Rae, Cate Le Bon, Dead Stars (covering Nirvana), Eternal Lips, Fat Goth, Plateau Below and The Weeknd's remix of Ty Dolla $ign's "Or Nah." In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from Architecture in Helsinki, Bright Light Bright Light and Elton John, Kevin Drew, Maps & Atlases, Ski Lodge, and many more.

Album Review: Thurston Moore – Demolished Thoughts [Merge]
In album review, mp3, music
Feel free to call Thurston Moore an old man. He may only be in his early 50s, but in rock star years, he's closer to 70. Sure, you've still got your classics out and about still making music, your Paul Simons, your Bob Dylans and your Paul McCartneys, but they come so few and far between these days. It's better to think of aging rock stars when they're in a band, because the collective whole provides you with a stark legacy and a lack of focus on a particular individual. The last Sonic Youth record, for example, 2009's "The Eternal", did not seem like it came from a band that's now officially 30 years old in and of itself without taking into account how old everyone was by the time they started. And while you have to essentially weigh any new stuff based on what came before it, we really only think of career highlights rather than the entire catalogue, particularly when dealing with 10+ records. In the case of Thurston Moore it's even more, thinking about his already numerous solo efforts along with the Sonic Youth stuff. Perhaps the biggest and most pertinent question to be asking is how somebody like Moore can keep creating new music without surrendering to complacency or repeating the same old tricks. His new record "Demolished Thoughts" seeks to provide something close to an answer to that question.
One of the more interesting tidbits about "Demolished Thoughts" is that it was produced by Beck Hansen, otherwise known as simply Beck. He and Moore have never worked together before, and it's a strange wonder as to why that is. It's clear from this record that the combination of the two is an inspired pairing, and you can hear both of their influences present even if it is Moore doing all of the heavy lifting. The easiest and most favorable comparison you can make given the circumstances is to Beck's "Sea Change", a largely acoustic effort with small flourishes of orchestral beauty. There are even brief brushes of harp mixed in, and it is surprisingly graceful and oddly cohesive. And while most of the songs bear a quiet, almost folk-driven psychedelia (track lengths range from 4 minutes to nearly 7), there are moments of vigorous energy and sharp electric guitar. "Circulation" is naturally one of those tracks that gets your blood flowing, and it calls to mind a handful of old Sonic Youth cuts in the process. The same could be said for "Orchard Street", though that's more like a subdued acoustic rendition of an unreleased Sonic Youth song. Of course both those make perfect sense, as Moore also tends to save up tracks that are either rejected by or simply won't quite work in his main band's canon.
Just because a track isn't moving along at a moderate pace doesn't mean it lacks energy though. A song like "Blood Never Lies" glistens in the sunlight akin to a dew-covered flower at the start of a new day. The harps and strings on "Illuminine" create glowing pinpricks of light in an otherwise pitch black night. It's the lush warmth that pulls that and many other songs on "Demolished Thoughts" out from the proverbial gutter of depression. An Elliott Smith album this is not, even if the topics of growing older and struggling to find happiness seem to permeate the highly poetic lyrics. What separates it out from your otherwise standard folk-indebted fare are the intelligent ways each song comes together to both acknowledge and destroy what we might otherwise expect from these genre tropes. Like how "Orchard Street" takes an extended instrumental detour for the entire last half of the song. Or maybe the way a light echo is applied to Moore's voice on "In Silver Rain With A Paper Key" to better illustrate the loneliness and isolation the lyrics speak of. You've got to hand it to Beck, who most assuredly had something to do with these little extra touches that help turn very good songs into excellent ones.
It's worth noting that most of Thurston Moore's solo career has been of mixed to poor quality. He seems to use the time away from Sonic Youth as a testing ground or an idea dump, which has had a tendency to leave him seeming scatterbrained or incoherent. 2007's "Trees Outside the Academy" was a lot like that, with a few solid songs smashed between a horde of attempts. There was no real theme or connection between the tracks, just sketch after sketch appearing to resemble something whole. That's not to say it was a terrible record – in fact it was far from it. Compared with "Demolished Thoughts" though, it's night and day. These new songs feel well thought out and purposeful, and though they may not be the most upbeat things, they never dwell too long in one darkened corner. It is actually one of the rare times a Moore solo record works on all pistons, giving a clear legitimacy to the venture and providing another outlet through which die hard Sonic Youth fans can get something of a fix. He may be getting up there in rock star years, but from the sound of it this "old guy" clearly has plenty of fight left in him.

On Tuesday, shares of Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) poked through the vaunted $1,000 price level before closing just below there. It appears to be just a matter of time before shares of Google parent Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) do the same thing. With these storied internet stocks surging and sporting price tags that are unapproachable to most investors, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) make for solid alternatives to high-priced stocks for capital-starved investors. A good starting point is the PowerShares QQQ (QQQ), the Nasdaq-100 Index tracking ETF.
"We saw some late week reversals in QQQ in terms of outflows turning into inflows, as the fund has reeled in over $1.3 billion via creations lately," said Paul Weisbruch of Street One Financial in a note out Tuesday. "It does not hurt that number three weighting Amazon is trading at a new all-time high today and has eclipsed $1,000 for the first time ever before regressing a bit and other top weighted members are all within shouting distance of their 52-week highs."

If your industry demands daily on-the-job records, then you already know how valuable Tally Books are for maintaining consistent workflows without putting the security of your employees at risk.
These custom-made journals enable the recording of crucial information quickly, allowing specialists to track and monitor performance continuously. At the same time, these small Tally Books are durable but flexible tools that stand up to harsh working environments and severe weather conditions.
When your company's top priority is the protection of its people, assets and the environment, the Tally Book becomes a fundamental element that every worker should have in their pocket.
For your engineering technicians to make safe interventions and record them on location, you need to make sure that your Tally Books include specific data and instructions, specially created to fit your business.
Every company follows specific processes and whether you adapt existing content or you write everything from scratch (and we can help with that!) all the information in your Tally Book should be created and written together with buy-in from your in-house experts.
Key procedures and policies. Offshore operations are often risky, and even a small error can slow down processes and generate a reduction to the bottom line. When your employees can check out the critical procedures from their pockets, they have permanent support to perform tasks and are less likely to make mistakes.
Health and safety information. In demanding working environments, employees can't use their smartphones or laptops to get direction. To increase efficiency, everything they need to know should be right at their fingertips.
Observation cards allow technicians and engineers to record vital safety information on the spot so that no detail is missed or forgotten. It's vital in industries in which every intervention should be easy to track, regardless of its size or significance.
Generic risk assessments. It's crucial to have these risk assessments inside Tally Books because listing the steps needed to take for controlling the risks is required by law. Furthermore, it's a cost-effective and efficient method to keep your employees safe every time they perform operations.
Contact information. Your Tally Books should be instantly recognisable, so our recommendation is to ensure they are branded – emboss your company's logo and any information that will allow easy return if lost/misplaced.
Besides these elements, format and add in the journal any report or news that can help your employees perform their tasks off- and onshore. This way, your employees have permanent access to information and training that is relevant to their duties and responsibilities.
When you give your employees tally books, you provide them with a quick and easy way to get key health, safety and quality information when they need it.
Offshore mechanical technicians or ships' captains can't interrupt their activities to log into the company's intranet system to get guidance. In many high-risk industries, specialists need information on the spot in situations where minutes can make the difference between life or death.
When you provide your employees with the best tools, you protect them and increase the efficiency of your operations at the same time.

International Financial Sanctions: How is the landscape changing?
Home Perspectives International Financial Sanctions: How is the landscape changing?
International businesses are facing a more challenging and perilous sanctions environment. Not only are there more sanctions regimes to consider, but those regimes that have been instituted by major jurisdictions are increasingly varied, and in cases such as Iran, in direct conflict. Companies face an uncertain political environment relating to key sanctions regimes in Russia and Iran; the long-reach of U.S. sanctions; and the uncertainties raised by the EU Blocking Regulation. At the same time, there is the potential for a new post-Brexit sanctions regime, as well as questions about the effect of Brexit on the EU regime itself. In this scenario, companies are increasingly looking to manage sanctions risk through contractual drafting, but arriving at an agreed position that covers all the bases can be difficult.
There are more sanctions regimes than businesses think (the UK Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation website lists 32 regimes), but the regimes currently attracting most concern are those relating to Russia and Iran. For both of these sanctions targets, the position of the two most significant sanctioning jurisdictions (the United States and the European Union) have increasingly diverged.
Authors: Leigh T. Hansson Brett Hillis
In the case of Russia, the regimes instituted in the U.S. and EU relating to the situations in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine were in step until the U.S. sanctions targeting Russia were expanded as a result of the Countering America's Adversaries through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). CAATSA codified many of the Russia-related sanctions previously imposed through executive order, thereby requiring the President to obtain Congressional approval before easing the targeted U.S. sanctions relating to Russia. It also expanded so-called "secondary sanctions" that apply to non-U.S. companies even when there is no U.S. nexus. In the context of Ukraine-related Sanctions, these include the risk of becoming subject to sanctions by engaging in "significant transactions" for, or on behalf of, Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs) sanctioned pursuant to Ukraine-/Russia-related sanctions authorities. The U.S. decision to designate almost 40 companies, oligarchs, and officials as SDNs on 6 April 2018 (some of them very active and well-known), raised the exposure of non-U.S. companies to these secondary sanctions.
Two specific areas of secondary sanctions exposure under CAATSA are of interest to the energy industry. The first, relating to investment by non-U.S. parties in Russian crude oil projects. Specifically, the President is required, unless he determines it is not in U.S. national security interests, to impose sanctions on any person that "knowingly makes a significant investment" in a "special Russian crude oil project," including projects to extract crude from deep waters, Russian Artic offshore locations and shale formations located in Russia.
The second area of risk is investment by non-U.S. companies in Russian energy pipelines. CAATSA gives the President the power to impose (but does not require) secondary sanctions on non-U.S. persons making investments that contribute to enhancing Russia's ability to construct energy export pipelines, or providing Russia with goods, services, technology, services etc. that could facilitate the construction, modernisation, or repair of energy pipelines. The President is required to impose the above sanctions "in coordination with allies of the United States". This provision was added to CAATSA to address concerns raised by European allies in light of projects such as the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany. The President has not yet used this authority granted him by CAATSA.
In contrast to the developing U.S. sanctions position on Russia, EU sanctions have remained unchanged. This reflects the fact that changes to EU sanctions require unanimity among the EU member states, countries with very different policy positions regarding Russia.
The EU has been extremely active in seeking to counter the sanctions resulting from President Trump's decision, announced on 8 May, that the United States would withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). This decision has led to the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) reimposing sanctions on Iran, including secondary sanctions. OFAC also announced that it would impose those sanctions after a 90-day wind-down period ending on 7 August and a 180-day wind-down period on 5 November.
The U.S. sanctions are extremely broad and several European companies responded by pulling out of Iran. The EU itself responding by activating the EU Blocking Regulation to the extra-territorial aspects of the U.S. sanctions.
This leaves European businesses in a particularly difficult position. The EU Blocking Regulation bans EU companies from complying with the U.S. sanctions as they apply to do business between the EU and Iran. These companies are left with the choice of risking severe penalties under U.S. sanctions if they do business with Iran, or risking punishment by the EU if they comply with the U.S. measures. On balance, though, it is the U.S. sanctions that companies tend to be most concerned about. After all, in the previous history of the EU Blocking Regulation, there have been relatively few instances where a company has actually been subject to enforcement action. In the case of Iran, there are potentially lots of reasons why European companies may not want to do business there beyond U.S. sanctions, thereby making the EU Blocking Regulation much more difficult to enforce.
In response to the failure of the EU Blocking Regulation to keep companies in Iran, the EU has discussed setting-up a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) in an EU Member State to facilitate payments related to Iran's exports. This company would presumably be interposed in the payment mechanics, sitting between an EU-based purchaser and Iranian exporter. It is expected that it will take some months to establish such an entity and as yet its location has not been publicly announced.
Companies expecting the SPV to provide a way around U.S. sanctions should be extremely cautious. President Trump has explicitly said that companies must choose between doing business in Iran and doing business in the U.S. The U.S. Administration could very easily look upon the use of the SPV as a means to circumvent the effect of U.S. sanctions on Iran. If the result is that European companies can continue doing business in Iran, then the result could well be that the Trump administration will just impose more sanctions.
The Iranian situation illustrates the indispensable nature of U.S. markets and the U.S. financial system. Many global companies, based not just in Europe, but in other major jurisdictions, do not feel they can jeopardise their access to the U.S., even where home governments seek push them in a different direction.
Brexit adds another layer of complexity and uncertainty for companies seeking to comply with the multitude of national and international sanctions regime. If there is an agreed transition arrangement, it is likely the UK will continue to apply EU sanctions. Once it is ended, or immediately following the UK's withdrawal from the EU if there is no transitional deal, the UK will have the power to apply different sanctions. The necessary Acts of Parliament enabling this have already been passed by way of the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 and certain parts of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. There are many open questions about the future UK sanctions policy, not least the extent to which the UK will coordinate or align its sanctions policy with the EU, or perhaps move closer in policy to the US.
Drafting for change
Over the past years, it has become increasingly common for contracts to include specific clauses giving parties various contractual rights if the other party becomes a target of sanctions, or dealing with them may otherwise have sanctions consequences. This is because more general Force Majeure or Illegality clauses sometimes do not cover all situations the parties want to cover, or do not have the preferred type of effect. Drafting these clauses requires careful consideration of the potential sanctions risks (e.g. ensuring the language is broad enough to cover secondary sanctions risks). Also, care needs to be taken that the provisions addressing what happens if a counterparty becomes sanctioned do not require a party to take action that constitutes or causes a breach of sanctions.
Sanctions are subject to geopolitical fluctuations, and so any company doing business globally, or aspiring to, must keep a watchful eye on developments and changes in international relations. Whilst the international sanctions web may at first appear dense and complex, attentiveness to how the landscape is changing and careful planning, particularly in the preparation of contracts, should help businesses clear the fog of confusion.

Today, Yvonne Jones, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Intergovernmental and Northern Affairs and Internal Trade, and Member of Parliament for Labrador, on behalf of the Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister for Status of Women, Catherine McKenna, Minister for Environment and Climate Change, and Francois-Phillipe Champange, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, will announce various funding projects that will increase women's economic security and help mitigate the negative effects of climate change.
$236,880 in funding for the Mokami Status of Women Council's, "Pathways to economic prosperity for women in transition" project which will address the institutional barriers and other factors that limit local efforts to advance the economic security and prosperity of women who are fleeing domestic violence.
$465,000 in funding for the NunatuKavut Community Council's, "Pathways to Economic Security for Indigenous Women in NunatuKavut" project which will address systemic barriers that prevent indigenous women from securing meaningful work, specifically in the mining sector of Labrador.
$134,332 for the NunatuKavut Community Council's, the Voices of NunatuKavut – Southern Inuit Knowledge and the Recovery of Terrestrial Species at Risk project, which will target six Species at Risk Act-listed species, three of which are priority species: Boreal Caribou (Threatened, priority species), Polar Bear (Special Concern), Red Knot (rufa subspecies, Endangered), Ivory Gull (Endangered), two species of bats (Little Brown Myotis and Northern Myotis, both Endangered and priority species). Species occurrence information will be collected using an online monitoring application that is being developed to electronically collect information on the six target species at risk to help in identification of important or critical habitat and assist in recovery initiatives.
$80,000 for the Innu Nation's Atiku Project which will focus on capacity building and engagement of Innu in conservation and recovery efforts of the priority Species at Risk Woodland Boreal Caribou and their habitats in Nitassinan (within Labrador).
$200,000 for the Innu Nation's Environmental Guardians Program which will expand Guardian activities in Innu protected areas across Nitassinan.
$60,862 for the Nunatsiavut Government Species at Risk Stewardship Program, which willencourage stewardship and traditional Inuit values to be incorporated into conservation and management of the harvest of Species at Risk Act-listed Boreal Woodland Caribou (Threatened) in two regional priority areas.
$300,000 for the Nunatsiavut Government'sKangidluasuk Student Program (KSP). The KSP was originally created as a not-for-profit organization which provided, facilitated and supported experiential work and learning opportunities for youth in fields of Inuit culture, Arctic Science, and outdoor adventure and recreation. The last year the program operated was in Summer 2018—but this new funding will reinvigorate this program and allow youth to learn from Guardians about existing environmental stressors, observed changes to the natural environment and actions to conserve their traditional territory.
$500,000 in funding in support of Nunatsiavut Government's Torngat Mountains Base Camp Research Centre, which will support the maintenance of the Torngat Mountains Base Camp Research Centre to ensure cost-effective research support is available for scientific activities in the region.
$273,534 in funding for the community of Hopedale for sewer and wastewater infrastructure upgrades.
Over the past three years, our Government has been working closely with our Provincial and Municipal partners in Newfoundland and Labrador to deliver on our commitment to make historic investment in infrastructure, so far totaling over $810 million dollars, because we know prosperity and success start with inclusive communities where people have the opportunities to grow, learn and thrive. We also know that we must do more to ensure that women across Labrador have the opportunity to secure financial and economic prosperity. Lastly, we acknowledge the threat climate change possess on the environment and resources of the Big Land and we're committed to building capacity to mitigate the negative effects of climate change and to leave a better world for our children and grandchildren. The future of Labrador is bright. We will continue to capitalize on historic levels of funding to ensure that all Labradorians are able to live in vibrant, healthy, inclusive and thriving communities.
