The venue faces onto Windrush Square, at the southern end of Brixton Town Centre.
– Events in Parks: Lambeth's current review of how it handles events bookings, both for large parks like Brockwell and smaller spaces like Windrush Square (see also news item below).
This is also an opportunity for some of our member groups to share what they have been doing, or their ambitions for summer events.
– Thursday 25 October, both at 6-45 pm.
Other meetings and events may be slotted into the schedule according to demand. We would welcome offers of other meeting places within our wide catchment area, and of course suggestions for topics or speakers for future meetings.
Meanwhile, we are arranging for minutes from the past two Forum meetings to be circulated to members and to be placed on the Forum website.
At the time of writing, we do not know who will carry on the programme of support recently provided by Community Southwark, but we will keep you posted. If there are training topics that your group would like help with, please let us know. We have a small budget for this, so perhaps we could help organise something locally that member groups could send people to?
For the past few years, the Neighbourhood Forum has been a member of Locality, a national federation supporting community organisations. It recently launched a £3.2 million Bright Ideas Fund to help community business start-ups in England – closing date 9th April.
They are also involved (in partnership with 4 other organisations) in Community-led Homes, which has 3 grant funds to provide training, funding and practical support to community groups keen to take action to provide or refurbish the homes communities want.
They are continuing their Save our Spaces campaign to protect public buildings and spaces being sold off for private use.
Meanwhile, our Secretary is happy to forward their recent e-bulletin.
Totally Thames is a September season of arts and culture events along the 42-mile stretch of the Thames through London. The organisers recently called for proposals for indoor or outdoor events, installations or activities that would be in, on, by or about the river. The submission guidelines provide more details, but they are keen to receive submissions from members of ethnic minorities, and from under-30s. Closing date for applications is Friday 5 April.
Just Text Giving are ceasing their "text to donate" services at the end of this month. News is starting to trickle in from alternative providers in this field. One we have already received details of is instaGiv – contact chris@instagiv.com if it might be useful for your fund-raising.
What I did not count on was how challenging it was to actually find recipients. So I am now posting in various forum the incentive hoping to reach interested parties.\Brixton Neighbourhood Forum is exactly the king of recipients we are looking for. But I also see that you may know of many other organisations that could be a recipient of it.
2- The project need to be vetted through an organisation/establishment such as churches, schools, charities, associations.
Could you pass on the info to interested parties or promote it through your page.
– Thursday 18 April: Feasibility study or Options appraisal?
Another Council consultation will be coming up in May over its Licensing Policy, which has to be reviewed from time to time to ensure it is abreast of current concerns. Don't expect too much from this, because the Council has limited scope for changes, but it's a chance to flag up "hot spots" within the borough and loopholes in current controls. More news about this nearer the time.
81 Acts of Exuberant Defiance!
The germ of the idea was something to mark the 40th anniversary of the original Brixton Riots of April 1981, and to remind everyone that there is still a diverse community here. After a couple of exploratory meetings, many ideas are emerging and several working groups are following them up.
A last summer at the bowling green?
The bowling green in Brockwell Park has been in decline since the serious bowlers moved down the hill in 1996 to use the indoor bowls pitch in the basement of the Brixton Recreation Centre. The outdoor green has been looking the worse for wear since the Council's specialist green-keeper retired last year. However a small group of enthusiasts, the Sylvan Bowls Club, revived use of the green in 2007 and has since tried to keep it in use for its original purpose. This might be their last year of playing before the surface becomes unplayable, but they expect to open the green to the public every Sunday afternoon from April to September, between 2 pm and 6 pm. There were 582 players over 30 Sundays in 2017, plus some special sessions laid on for local organisations including the Mosaic mental health centre on Effra Road.
Another series of creative writing sessions is starting up, to encourage people to share their experiences, explore different writing styles and craft stories.
Sessions take place 1 pm to 3 pm (light lunch available at 12-30 pm) on Tuesdays 26 March, 2, 9, 23 and 30 April and 7 May, with an extra session on Saturday 20 April, all at Brixton Community Base in Talma Road, SW2.
To register your interest, enquiries to 07 958 448 690 or 07 941 624 247, brixtoncommunitybase@gmail.com.
We Rise is organising a series of monthly careers events, each focussing on a different field of work, in conjunction with Business Launchpad.
– 4 June – Finance & Tech.
These are aimed at Lambeth-based 16-18 year-olds, to help them explore different careers and build connections with professionals in those fields.
Lambeth Council's bid for funding from TFL's Liveable Neighbourhoods programme has finally reached the top of the pile. The key element is re-organising Atlantic Road between Coldharbour Lane and Brixton Road to make it safer for cyclists and provide dedicated kerb space for deliveries to the shops and markets. There will also be changes in Coldharbour Lane to improve pedestrian movement between the Brixton Village arcade and the new Oval Theatre. The Neighbourhood Forum and the Brixton BID were represented at design meetings when proposals were first prepared nearly two years ago. Since then the plans have been tweaked with "low traffic neighbourhoods" to be added in nearby residential areas, and a cyclists "hub" off Electric Lane.
Lambeth has begun reminding residents about its food waste collection service. If your home has ordinary wheely bins for waste and recycling, you should also have a small "pigswill" bin or caddy for food waste. Feeding it to pigs is no longer allowed, so it is actually composted as a soil conditioner, but this is still cheaper for the Council than adding it to the general waste collection. Leaflets are being distributed with more advice on how best to recycle.
For estates with larger shared bins, the Council is willing to supply community composters for a block or estate to share.
To help improve air quality, the Mayor is starting an Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) from 8 April. To begin with, it will match the existing Congestion Charging Zone in Central London, but it will be rolled out across Brixton as far as the South Circular Road from October 2021. To avoid paying extra charges, powered vehicles will need to meet tighter exhaust emission standards. To check whether your vehicle meets the new criteria, see the TfL website.
– You want to change your contact details so you get messages sooner, rather than them going to an old inbox that you only check occasionally.
In fact, if we haven't heard from you for a while, why not send us an e-mail anyway, to remind us that you are still active and interested?
We are trying to issue these bulletins each month, so if you want an announcement included in our next issue, it helps if we receive it by 13 April.
Remember it takes a while to compile and distribute each bulletin, so no point in telling us about events happening before the 20th!
We are not usually short of space, but we are often short of time, so most bulletins have been basic so far.
Please send direct to the Secretary, Alan Piper, at apiperbrix@aol.com or phone enquiries to (020) 7207 0347.

The Complete Louis Armstrong Decca Sessions (1935-1946) (Mosaic, seven CDs). Most jazz critics regard the late Twenties and early Thirties as Satchmo's peak years, but a vocal and steadily growing minority begs to differ. This box set will give them plenty of ammunition. Armstrong had simplified and purified his flamboyant style by the time he signed with Decca in 1935, and no apologies of any kind need be made for the recordings he made with his big band and a delightfully wide variety of guest artists, including Sidney Bechet, Bing Crosby and the Mills Brothers. Put on "2:19 Blues," "Darling Nellie Gray," "Ev'ntide," "Jodie Man," "Jubilee," "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," "Struttin' with Some Barbecue," or "Wolverine Blues" and you'll get the point instantly. Many of these 78 sides are comparatively unfamiliar, and all have been digitally remastered to gorgeous effect. Dan Morgenstern's liner notes deserve a Grammy, or maybe a Nobel Prize. This one's a must, and then some (TT).
Judith Mackrell, Bloomsbury Ballerina: Lydia Lopokova, Imperial Dancer and Mrs. John Maynard Keynes (Phoenix, $14.95 paper). She was a star of the Ballets Russes whose long list of lovers included Igor Stravinsky and Heywood Broun. He was a world-famous economist, a member of the Bloomsbury circle, and a confirmed homosexual. They were, in short, the least likely of couples–but they fell in love, married, and lived happily ever after, much to the dismay of Keynes' viciously snobbish friends, Virginia Woolf foremost among them. Their story had previously been told in bits and pieces, but Judith Mackrell, the dance critic of the Guardian, has now given us an impeccably well-written book that pulls a half-forgotten ballerina out of the memory hole and restores her to her proper place among the key figures of twentieth-century ballet. Lopokova's marriage to Keynes turns out to have been a full-fledged romance on both sides, and Mackrell describes it with sympathy and candor. Rarely have I read a better dance biography–or a more touching love story (TT).
TT: Broadway's no-hitter
I panned every musical that opened on Broadway in the 2008-09 season, revivals included. While this may well say more about me than it does about Broadway, I'm more inclined to think that my unfailing displeasure points to something amiss with contemporary musical comedy. In my "Sightings" column for Saturday's Wall Street Journal, I argue that the Broadway musical is suffering from four chronic problems that have grown increasingly pronounced in recent seasons. To find out what they are, pick up a copy of today's Journal and see what I have to say.

A US air strike in Afghanistan killed a senior Al Qaeda commander in charge of suicide bombing and two other militants, the Pentagon said Friday.
The attack, which occurred in Paktika province on July 11, killed Abu Khalil al-Sudani, a "high-ranking Al-Qaeda operational commander", the Pentagon said in a statement released to reporters in Iraq who were travelling with US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter.
"Al-Sudani was one of three known violent extremists killed in the strike. The death of al-Sudani will further degrade Al Qaeda operations across the globe," the statement said.
The Pentagon described Sudani as a senior shura member and head of Al Qaeda's suicide and explosive operations, and said he was directly linked to plotting attacks against the United States.
"He also directed operations against Coalition, Afghan and Pakistani forces, and maintained a close association with Aymar al-Zawahiri, Al Qaeda's leader," the statement said.
In the statement, Carter said the killing of Sudani underscored the work done by General John Campbell, the commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan, and his troops "to take the fight to Al Qaeda".


Born in Kuwait and raised in the UK, Mohammed Emwazi grew to fulfil his destiny as a messenger of radicalised Islam; ISIL. When we turn to the natal horoscope for this man now that we have his birth date, it is as if he was born for the job of messenger for a radical group and a martyr for a cause of his choosing.
The world knows him as Jihadi John, the masked man with a British accent who has beheaded several hostages held by the Islamic State and who taunts audiences in videos circulated widely online.
We generate a natal horoscope from information available on the public record and include a selection of asteroids of our choosing. The birth time is not known to us and so we set the chart with the natural position of the houses; Aries at the ascendant.
Nike# 307 – goddess of strength, speed and victory.
I needed to shuffle in this man's shoes to some extent, in order to select the asteroids and stars that I have and so it is with trepidation that I interpret his horoscope. Hang on it's bound to be a visit to alien territory with his mind-set.
The mid-range Moon (personal needs) completes an red square in this chart; albeit a little askew – with Venus (a peer group) and Mars (action) together with Neptune (a secret religious group). We also note the cross within the square. Emwazi is boxed in with his chosen crusader tunic on this occasion; dressed in black.
We follow the traditional method with astrology; interpreting the tension in the chart anticlockwise from the Aries point.
Asteroid Ceres 0:20°Aries conjunct Aries point – he reaps what he sows. Live by the sword and you usually die by the sword.
Mars 10:52°Aries opposite mid-range Moon 17:22° Libra – personal needs are to be action man in a social setting (peer group).
Heracles 15:25° Aries opposite mid-range Moon – again personal needs are to be seen as his peer group's champion.
Fanatic 25:29°Taurus conjunct the stars Algol and Capulus in the constellation of Perseus – the fanatic sees himself in this role as the 'releaser of souls' by beheading his victims. Borassisi would tell us more in this regard.
Born with Chiron at 4:53°Cancer, Emwazi likely felt like an outsider; unwanted, un-nurtured and unloved (as borne out by the Saturn retrograde) during his formative years. By opening himself up to accept the camaraderie from a peer group (ISIL) would have gone a long way towards healing that inner-pain of abandonment.
Venus 9:01°Cancer – his peer group are his nurturers.
Juno 21:56°Cancer – at the feared 22°, we can note that he abandoned a wife/life-partner to join his cause.
Sun 24:40° conjunct Isis 25:25°Leo – speaks for itself actually doesn't it: ISIS and ego unable to separate the two.
Virgo relates to the nitty-gritty detail of everyday matters is ruled by Mercury; ethics, morals; what's needed to get through the day.
Black Moon Lilith 10:35°Virgo conjunct Mercury-Messenger – this is his weak point. Take away his role as the messenger and heloses his sense of precision.
Nessus 14:54° Virgo conjunct Lunar South Node 14:08°Virgo – there's a karmic element to his being an abuser.
Martir 16:03° conjunct Vesta 16:28°Virgo – Martyr meets passion; his life's purpose. He could have been a suicide bomber, or an assassin. Destiny led him to where he is at this time, in space.
Atropos 28:59° Virgo – the end of the line: death is opposite Escalibur, the sword of victory. That's what he sees in the mirror; a religious martyr.
Nemesis 0:46° Libra opposite Ceres – his downfall will be the associated with the harvest; feast or a famine.
Scorpio is the realm of using the assets of others; Pluto's natural realm. The power and powerlessness of death and transformation.
Pluto 9:59°Scorpio – he would have the mind-set that ISIL is the all-powerful leader for Islam.
Saturn Rx 25:04° conjunct Uranus Rx 27:12° Sagittarius – a self-controlled rebellious soldier for a radicalised military; ISIL. The grim reaper's manifestation in the flesh.
Aquarius is where the inner-rebel resides the position of receiving of love and where enemies also wait their turn in the karmic wheel.
Pallas 6:50°Aquarius – the inner warrior is rebellious; on-guard among his enemies.
Pisces is that which is hidden; the unknown.
Excalibur 28:35°Pisces conjunct the Aries point and Ceres – will he fall on his sword.
May the arrow/missile fired by Heracles, find it's target as Nessus deserves.

Essex truck deaths: Driver Maurice Robinson appears in court on manslaughter charges
AAP/7NEWS
Monday, 28 October 2019 7:36 pm
Essex truck deaths: Police charge man with 39 counts of manslaughter
The driver of a truck in which 39 people were found dead has appeared in a British court via video link charged with manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people.
The discovery of the bodies in a refrigerated truck on an industrial estate east of London has shone a spotlight on the illicit global trade in people which sends the poor of Asia, Africa and the Middle East on perilous journeys to the West.
Driver Maurice Robinson, 25, appeared in Chelmsford Magistrates' Court via video link on Monday, confirming his name and address. He wore a grey sweatshirt.
Robinson is charged with 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people, conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration, and money laundering, police said.
He made no application for bail.

He was remanded in custody until November 25 when the case will continue at the Old Bailey, London's Central Criminal Court, and he will enter a plea.
Robinson was arrested shortly after the grisly discovery of the bodies in the early hours of Wednesday a few miles from the English port of Purfleet.
The container had travelled from the Belgian port of Zeebrugge.

Brad's story begins in a small town in Eugene, Oregon with a population of roughly 1500. He has been lower class, went to middle class and back then would have thought he was rich. Unfortunately his uncle had allowed their insurance at their bar to lapse and a patron had an accident; the lawsuit wiped them out financially and they went back to lower class… but kept their high class taste. This was at the age of 12.
Since he was a kid he was always interested in making money. He would buy packs of gum cheap at the store and sell it to kids for profit at school. This continued on through his adolescence into his adult years.
When he was a teenager he wanted a car and his father told him to go and earn his own.
Brad Lea's company is a web-based interactive training and communication platform to create large-scale recurring revenue. His company, which he grew from the ground up, is now earning $20-million this year, and expanding every year.

If you display feelings of appreciation and excitement as part of your business etiquette, try to restrain that impulse. It is best to maintain composure when dealing with Chinese business people, the most you can do is use kind words, politeness or a faint smile. No matter how grateful you are, do not bring a gift and do not tip in a restaurant – they will not be received with joy!
* The official name of China is People's Republic of China (PRC).
* The official language is Standard Chinese, with various other recognised languages.
* The capital is Beijing; the largest city – Shanghai.
* The population is approximately 1.35 billion people.
– Chinese business people will expect you to be well prepared for the meeting. Make sure to have at least 20 copies of your proposal ready for handing out. Note that presentation materials should be only in black and white, avoid colours.
– Small talk is considered particularly important at the beginning of a meeting.
– They prefer to establish a strong relationship before closing a deal, so you might have to meet up several times to achieve your objectives.
– It is vital for you to maintain composure during meetings. Causing embarrassment or showing too much emotion could have a negative effect for a business negotiation.
– Regarding decision-making, the Chinese tend to extend negotiations far beyond the agreed deadline to gain some advantage. Be prepared for that: accept their delays and do not mention deadlines. Your patience will be much appreciated!
– People in China usually enter the meeting room in hierarchical order. So be careful – they will assume that the first of you walking in the room is the head of the delegation!
– Business hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday.
– Many Chinese workers take a break between 12:00 and 2:00 pm, during which almost everything stops from working – from lifts to phone services.
– It is best to schedule an appointment during these periods: April to June and September to October.
– Handshakes are common but wait for your Chinese counterpart to initiate the gesture.
– Regarding titles of courtesy, most people should be addressed with a title followed by their last name. Careful not to use "comrade" – unless you are a committed communist of course.
– Chinese people will appreciate it if you use a couple of words in Chinese, but make sure you are aware of the meaning and the appropriate occasions.
– In Chinese culture, the questions "Have you eaten?" or "Where have you been?" are pleasantries equivalent to the traditional "How are you?" in the English-speaking culture. Therefore, do not take it literally and start getting into details in your answer! Simply answer "yes" if you have eaten – even if you haven't – or simply smile and say "thank you!".
– Popular welcome topics are themes about China: art, scenery, landmarks, climate, and geography. You can mention your travelling experiences to other countries and include your positive impressions as a tourist in China!
– Try to avoid political-related discussions, such as the Cultural Revolution or Chairman Mao, the "Tibet" and "Taiwan" questions, human rights, animal treatment.
– Chinese people are very careful about strong negative statements. For instance, negative answers are considered impolite, so find alternatives ("I'll think about it"/"maybe"/"we'll see") instead of a blunt "no".
– Similarly, if your Chinese counterparts say "Not a big issue" or "The problem is not serious", they usually mean that there still are problems or that the problems are serious.
– Body language and movements are things you have to be constantly conscious of when doing business in China. As mentioned above, you have to stay calm, collected and controlled.
– Body posture should always be formal and attentive as it demonstrates self-control and respectfulness.
– Be careful about what you do with your hands as well – putting your hands in your mouth, biting your nails, removing food from your teeth and similar practices are considered rude.
– Dress code: conservative suits. Bright colours of any kind are considered inadequate.
– Punctuality is vital. Being late is a serious offence in the Chinese business culture.
– When the meeting is finished, you are expected to leave before your Chinese counterparts.
– Exchanging business cards is common practice, so make sure to bring plenty!
– It is advisable to have one side in English and the other in either Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese – depending on the region.
– Include your professional title, especially if it is important to your case. Also, if your business is the oldest, largest or has some other prestigious distinction, do include that on the card.
– Gold is the colour of prestige and prosperity, so if you print your business cards in gold ink, it will have that connotation.
– Give your card using two hands and ensure the Chinese side is facing the recipient; receive your card attentively and examine it for a few moments.
– Do not bring presents! The official policy in Chinese business etiquette forbids gifts. The gesture is considered bribery, which is illegal in the country.
– If you are invited to a business meal, wait to be seated, as there is a seating protocol based on hierarchy. Do not discuss business during the meal.
– During a meal, 20 to 30 courses can be served, so try not to eat too much at once! The trick is to try a sample of each dish.
– Scorpions, locusts, snake skin, dog meat and blood may come your way – they are considered premium delicacies.
– It is also important to know how much to eat. Leaving an empty dish signifies that you were not given enough food and not touching your food is offensive as well.
– Do not be startled if everyone starts slurping and belching – these are signs of enjoyment while eating.
– If you are invited for drinks – you have to go, as building a personal relationship ("guanxi") during your business is very important. Sadly or not, part of this implies participating in the drinking culture existing in the country.
– It might happen that your Chinese counterpart will test your ability to handle alcohol, especially "bai jiu" (common brand names are "Mao Tai" and "Er Guo Tou") – a powerful drink that might be compared to airline fuel! If you go for it, make sure to eat something beforehand; otherwise find a good excuse – a medical one will be accepted.
– Giving tips is generally considered an insult in China, implying the recipient needs money.
– 8 is the luckiest number in Chinese culture. If you receive eight of something, consider it a gesture of good will.
– 6 is considered a blessing for smoothness and progress.
– 4 is a taboo number because it sounds like the word "death" and is considered unlucky.

Q: Linq-To-SQL Marc Gravell's InRange Extension I'm tring to use the InRange extension Marc Gravell wrote here:
LINQ Expression to return Property value?
This is my code so far:
// Fetch list of visit Ids and distinct Ips that fall into the date range
var q = (from c in db.tblTrackerVisits where c.Date >= MinDate select new { c.ID, c.IPID });
List<int> VisitIDs = q.Select(c => c.ID).ToList();
List<int> DistinctIPs = q.Select(c => c.IPID).Distinct().ToList();

// List of all campaigns that have visitors
var Campaigns = db.tblTrackerVariables
    .Where(c =>
        c.TypeID == Settings.CampaignTrackerVariableTypeID
        //&& db.tblTrackerVisitVariables.Any(d=>VisitIDs.Contains(d.VisitID) && d.VariableID == c.ID)
        && db.tblTrackerVisitVariables.InRange(x => x.VisitID, 1500, VisitIDs)
    )
    .Select(c => new { c.ID, c.Name }).OrderBy(c=>c.Name);

However this throws:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<tblTrackerVisitVariable>' to 'bool'

I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly, can anyone give me some pointers?  The commented out && above it:
//&& db.tblTrackerVisitVariables.Any(d=>VisitIDs.Contains(d.VisitID) && d.VariableID == c.ID)

Is the old working code (but it throws the too many params error so I have to resort to this extension method).

A: Mark's extension method returns an IEnumerable, not a bool, and therefore cannot be included in a logical expression. I you want to check if the result is non-empty try the Any method:
db.tblTrackerVisitVariables.InRange(x => x.VisitID, 1500, VisitIDs).Any()

Renaud Garcia-Fons was born in 1962 near Paris to parents from the Catalonia region of northeastern Spain, and was introduced to music at age five, taking up the piano and classical guitar. As a young man, he studied the double bass at the Paris Conservatory of Music, performing in its orchestras and refining his knowledge of music theory and performance.
He also became the private student of François Rabbath, as a member of Le Big Band Roger Guerin, he performed side-by-side with some of the most renowned of jazz drummers, including Kenny Clarke and Sam Woodyard. By age 21, Renaud was awarded a diploma by the French Cultural Minister as Professor of Double Bass. From this point forward he worked independently, allowing his adventurous spirit to liberate him from the technical limitations of his instrument in favor of greater freedom to improvise; and to explore music at the crossroads of jazz, traditional, and contemporary music.
Ten years into this journey, he decided to add a fifth string to his bass, enabling possibilities well beyond the idea of the double bass as an accompanying instrument and particularly the option to be one of an ensemble's improvising voices. Combining this innovation with his con arco and pizzicato techniques, he reached an unprecedented level of performance. Some began to call him the "Paganini of the double bass." While this has been a great compliment, a more accurate comparison is to Astor Piazzolla, Jimi Hendrix, and Paco de Lucia – artists who have advanced the possibilities of their instrument on the force of selfdirected study and research.
As a member of the Orchestre des Contrebasses and later of the Orchestre National de Jazz directed by Claude Barthélémy, Renaud's knowledge of jazz and improvisation deepened, and brought him into direct contact with many leading European and American jazz musicians. The art of improvisation became a central element in his artistic vision. There are multiple sources for his musical inspiration. He feels as close to the Flamenco tradition, which he has transposed for the double bass, as to the music of the Mediterranean and Orient. This has led him to collaborations with David Dorantes, Gerardo Núñez, and Esperanza Fernandez, as well as Angélique Ionatos (Greece), Dhafer Youssef (Tunisia), Huong Tanh (Vietnam), and Kudsi Ergüner (Turkey).
A fruitful relationship with Matthias Winckelmann, producer and founder of the German label Enja Records, has resulted in nine recordings: Légendes, Alboréa, Oriental Bass, Fuera (with accordionist Jean-Louis Matinier), Navigatore, Entremundo, Arcoluz (a DVD-CD recording of a trio concert given in Germany), La Línea del Sur with guest singer Esperanza Fernandez, and the newly released Méditerranées. Renaud Garcia-Fons page two Renaud has led a variety of ensembles including the Oriental Bass ensemble, Navigatore 5tet and 8tet, and he has given solo concerts whose title is Pilgrim. Over the past three years, he's performed most frequently with his trio, consisting of Flamenco guitarist Antonio "Kiko" Ruiz and percussionist Pascal Rollando. The trio has evolved into a new quartet with the addition of accordionist David Venitucci who performs on La Línea del Sur. Also new is Renaud's collaboration with Flamenco dancer and singer Sabrina Romero in both solo and quartet settings.
In parallel with his career as a performer, Renaud has been a prolific composer, fulfilling commissions as well as broadening the repertoire of his performing ensembles. At the Scene Nationale de Sceaux in October 2004, he presented World Chamber Music, a piece for string quartet, double bass, and two instruments of Eastern origin: the bansuri, a fute prominent in northern Indian music; and the riq, a small tambourine equipped with cymbals that is played in all Arab music. A commission for the anniversary of the Entente Franco-Ecossaise ofered an opportunity to bring together artists of diferent worlds. For this occasion Renaud composed a piece in five movements for his trio and seven soloists from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
Tutti orchestral sequences alternate with more intimate orchestrations, giving individual chamber orchestra members an opportunity to join the trio in improvisation. Renaud and the soloists gave the work's premiere in Scotland in late October 2004 and, the following month, performed it in France at the Festival de la Côte d'Opale and at the Grand Théâtre de Dijon. In 2007, Opera de Lyon gave him carte blanche to program five evenings of concerts.
The following year began with Paquito D'Rivera's Concerto for Clarinet, Double Bass, and Symphony Orchestra, written in tribute to Cuban double bassist Cachao and premiered in Spain's Canary Islands with Renaud on double bass. That summer, Renaud visited Canada for the first time, giving festival performances in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Montréal, and Québec, and gave his first performance at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands. The Montréal Jazz Festival invited Renaud to return in 2008 for its prestigious Invitation Series, where artists are presented in three distinct musical settings in the course of three successive nights. He performed in two duos – one with Flamenco dancer Sabrina Romero and another with accordionist Jean-Louis Matinier – and then with his La Línea del Sur quartet. The summer also brought recognition from the International Society of Bassists, which gave Renaud its biennial award for Solo Performance. In 2010, the Deutsch Phono-Akademie chose him for its 2010 ECHO Deutsche Musikpreis for international bassist of the year and the recording La Línea del Sur; and did so again in 2012 for the recording Méditerranées.
The Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla awarded its 2010 Giraddillo de Oro prize to Renaud, marking the first time a double bassist has received this prestigious Flamenco award. For its 2011 edition, Germany's Kurt Weill Fest commissioned Renaud to compose and perform new music for the showing of the film classic Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed directed by Lotte Reiniger.
This new work has toured in Europe since its festival premiere. He has also been commissioned by Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Limoges to write music for the ballet Carmen in collaboration with choreographer by Sergio Simon for premiere in 2012.
This past September, he recorded a solo performance in a 12th century church in southern France, Le prieuré de Marcevol, and released it as the DVD-CD entitled Solo – the Marcevol Concert, his tenth recording for Enja Records. The album has received critical acclaim, including the Preis der Deutschen Schallplatten Kritik (German Record Critics' Award).

VeChain announces new governance model
With the platform, VeChain aims to ensure that the blockchain will retain its ability to scale while fully meeting the needs of regulators, governments and large enterprises. As a result, VeChain has decided to revise its governance model to create a flexible system that can be rapidly implemented for further development.
The decision was taken by the operations team on 11 November 2019. The result is a revised VeChain Foundation Governance Charter that has been approved by the Steering Committee and will subsequently be included in VeChain Whitepaper 2.0. The following changes have been made to the Articles of Association:
To further increase the transparency of the governance model, VeChain has announced the introduction of VeVote, a decentralized voting platform for the VeChain ecosystem. The platform will initially support two different types of voting. The vote in the steering committee and the vote of all stakeholders.
The VeVote platform provides an immutable, transparent and decentralized platform for stakeholders to cast their votes on important decisions based on their voting authority. The voting is done via VeVote smart contracts and the result will be recorded on the VeChainThor blockchain.
The proposal for the new model has been published on the VeVote platform so that all members of the steering committee can vote. The vote will be open between 06 December and 13 December 2019. At least 5 votes in favour are required for the proposal to enter into force.
Users can access the VeVote platform via Sync or the VeChainThor mobile Wallet tab. All changes and completed votes as well as further details will be documented on the platform and can be viewed unchanged. VeChain sees the launch of VeVote as a further milestone towards greater decentralisation, which will improve the entire ecosystem in the long term.
The VeChain community is actively involved in the further development of the ecosystem and announced the launch of its own VeChain Explorer two days ago. Furthermore, VeChain, in cooperation with Fudan University, has discussed current issues in information technology and the blockchain sector with policy makers in their premises.

Harley Davidson bikes gets HUGE price cut, entire CVO and Touring line-up now cheaper
Posted on March 1, 2018 by Yatharth Chauhan
Harley Davidson recently announced a price cut for its CBU models. The latest price correction was made public at the launch of the new Softail models in India. With this, the company has reduced the prices of its entire Touring and CVO line up. Basically, HD has made a reduction in prices of all its motorcycles that are imported into India via CBU (Completely Built Up) route. This price reduction is in line with the reduced customs duty on fully-important two-wheelers.
Among all the Harley Davidson motorcycles that have benefited from the price reduction, the CVO Limited, which is Harley Davidson's flagship model in the country, has seen the largest reduction in price. The motorcycle now costs Rs 49.99 lakh against Rs 53.72 lakh it used to cost earlier. This is a neat cut of Rs 3.73 lakh! The motorcycles in the touring range also see significant price reductions. The Road King, which was previously priced at Rs 28.37 lakh, is now available at a lower price of Rs 24.99 lakh (again, a good Rs 3.38 lakh lesser!). Even the Street Glide costs Rs 3.51 lakh lesser. While this motorcycle was earlier on sale for Rs 33.50 lakh, it now costs Rs 29.99 lakh. Even the motorcycle that has received the least price reduction sees a cool reduction of Rs 2.62 lakh. We are talking about the Road Glide Special, which now costs Rs 32.99 lakh against the earlier price of Rs 35.61 lakh.
Like we said, the new prices were announced at the official launch of the new Softail Deluxe and the Low Rider. While the new Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe costs Rs 17.99 lakh, the Low Rider has gone on sale at Rs 12.99 lakh. Other than this, even the Fat Boy Anniversary Edition is now available in India. It costs Rs 19.79 lakh.
While the reduction in prices of Harley Davidson motorcycles is a welcome move, it looks like Donald Trump is still not too pleased with import duties on HDs. Speaking during a meeting in the White House, Trump emphasised that the United States was "getting nothing" from New Delhi's announcement on the reduction in customs duty to 50 percent. "When Harley Davidson sends a motorcycle to India, as an example, they have to pay 100 percent tax," Trump said, adding, "Now, the Prime Minister, who I think is a fantastic man, called me the other day and he said we are lowering it to 50 percent. I said okay, but so far we're getting nothing. So we get nothing, he gets 50 [percent], and they think like they're doing us a favour. That's not a favour."

Oliver Sacks – The Last Interview
Henk-Jan van der Klis 15 mei 2017 10 mei 2017 1 Comment on Oliver Sacks – The Last Interview
Oliver Sacks, neurologist, and author of many books about mental disorders of all kinds passed away in 2015 at 82. The Last Interview is an extraordinary collection of interviews throughout the years with this personally involved and committed doctor. He gave sparsely interviews upon the launch of new books like Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, and numerous The New Yorker articles. For the rest, he preferred executing his profession.
Some of the interviews in this compilation don't go beyond platitudes, others reveal surprising insights on the close collaboration with Robin Williams for the Awakenings movie, recurring cancer and vision problems in his own life, homosexuality, and discovery people suffering from neurological diseases in remote places. Get to know this brilliant writer from a different point of view than the narrator of amazing case studies.
Oliver Sacks was born in 1933 in London and was educated at Queen's College, Oxford. He completed his medical training at San Francisco's Mount Zion Hospital and at UCLA before moving to New York, where he soon encountered the patients whom he would write about in his book Awakenings. Sacks spent almost fifty years working as a neurologist and wrote many books, including The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia, and Hallucinations, about the strange neurological predicaments and conditions of his patients. Over the years, he received many awards, including honors from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Royal College of Physicians. He died in 2015.

February 19, 2019 by Fred Sisto
The Use of Photos and the Defendant's Silence (Part 2)
The court continued: Before trial, the prosecution, defense counsel, and the court collaborated on a questionnaire for potential jurors, which included a question about the photographs. The judge then asked if there were any objections. Neither party objected, and both sides agreed that the photos were taken after H.B. turned eighteen. At trial, defense counsel urged the jury to view the photos as exhibiting the actions of two consenting adults. He attempted to undercut H.B.'s testimony, saying defendant had been "ambushed about a past that never happened." The State argued that it is not credible that H.B. would have consented to pose for such a broad array of photos in so new of a relationship. Instead, according to the State, the photos were evidence of a long sexual relationship that predated her eighteenth birthday. During summation before the jury, the prosecutor highlighted H.B.'s accusation that defendant had raped her when she was fourteen, noting that defendant did not respond to the accusation.
Defendant appealed, challenging the admission of the photographs and the prosecutor's references to his silence during summation. After reversing as to one count of official misconduct that it found beyond the statute of limitations, the Appellate Division reversed defendant's remaining convictions and remanded for a new trial. The panel found that the court should have excluded the photos as cumulative and unduly prejudicial under N.J.R.E. 403, and as other-crime evidence or bad acts under N.J.R.E. 404(b). The panel also offered guidance for retrial, demonstrating support for defendant's argument that the State improperly commented on his silence during the recorded conversation with H.B. The State moved for reconsideration, which was denied. The State filed a petition for certification, which the Court granted. 232 N.J. 153 (2018). Defendant cross-petitioned, which the Court granted, limited to whether it was plain error for the trial court to allow the State to introduce the photographs and whether the State committed reversible error by commenting on defendant's silence. 233 N.J. 295 (2018).
The State's position with regard to the relevance of the photographs seems speculative at best. They were likely attempting to prejudice the jury by eliciting a natural reaction of disgust upon seeing an eighteen-year-old female involved in sexual relations with a man in his mid-forties.

Lebanese singers Nancy Ajram and Ramy Ayach will ring in the New Year in Egypt with an outdoor concert on the Red Sea.
Egyptian singer Ahmed Saad will also perform at the event taking place at the beachfront Tolip Resort El Galala Majestic in Ain Sokhna on Friday.
From 9pm until 4am the next day, the celebrations will include a DJ, belly dancer and countdown to 2022.
In addition, Egyptian star Mohamed Hamaki of Ahla Haga Feeki fame will headline a concert at the five-star resort on Thursday.
Concert-goers can opt to book a package including accommodation and tickets for the two-day Al Galala New Year's Carnival.
A post shared by Nancy Ajram (@nancyajram)
About two hours from Cairo on the western side of the Gulf of Suez, Al Galala is a new national development project constructed over the past six years. The city on a mountain plateau includes hotels, a marina and a university that opened in 2020.
The government is keen to promote the city as a tourism destination for both Egyptians and foreigners.
Elissa to perform in Abu Dhabi for New Year's Eve
The New Year's concert is one of the first major entertainment events to take place in the new city.
Ajram, known as the queen of Arabic pop, performed in Dubai last month at Expo 2020 Dubai alongside Ragheb Alama. On December 16, she was at Saudi Arabia's MDLBeast Soundstorm music festival.
The mega-star has a large fan base in Egypt. She last held concerts in June at a Cairo hotel and in November 2020 at Cairo International Stadium.
Ayach opened last year's El Gouna Film Festival on the Red Sea with a new song Dokki Ya Mazzika.
Tickets for Al Galala New Year's Carnival range from 1,000 Egyptian pounds ($63) to 3,600 Egyptian pounds for each event and are available online at Tazkarti

Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2017 by The Royal Mint Museum
Royal Mint Swimming Club Medal
The Royal Mint has long been home to a strong community of workers and the Museum cares for many items which reflect their shared passions and hobbies. Our archival material in particular records the involvement of Mint employees in a range of sports and social clubs. One of the earliest of these, the Royal Mint Swimming Club, had its first committee meeting 120 years ago on 4 August 1897, when the Mint was still located at Tower Hill in London.
The Swimming Club Committee minute book, which is now retained in the Museum's library, tells us:
'It having been decided to start a swimming club in connection with the Royal Mint, a meeting of those gentlemen who had promised to join and support the club was called at the Whitechapel Swimming Baths'.
Throughout its lifetime the Committee organised excursions, concerts and galas for members and their families. The minute book gives a very personal account of these events. For example, it is easy to sympathise with the swimmers on the club's first excursion to Southend when they visited the New Palace Baths and found the water to be of 'arctic temperature'.
The first entry in the Royal Mint Swimming Club minute book
The club also held an annual Costume Entertainment evening. At the inaugural event in October 1898 the Swimming Baths in nearby Goulston Street were decorated with flags, Japanese lanterns and palms and more than 400 spectators were treated to events such as blindfold racing, diving displays and the intriguing 33 yards midnight and candle race in which competitors swam in night attire carrying a lit candle.
1898 Costume Entertainment programme
These events clearly fostered a sense of community. In 1898 Club Vice-President Edward Rigg, then Superintendent of the Operative Department and one of the most senior figures in the Mint, said that the club was 'a thorough success numbering 41% of the entire staff of the Mint from the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Charwoman'
The Museum collection also contains information about prominent members of the swimming club. These include the talented George Harry Orchard, who joined the Mint when he was just 13 in 1892. Entries in the Royal Mint Establishment Lists show that he started his career as a boy. It was expected at this time that workmen admitted to the Operative Department as boys would be promoted to the rank of third class workmen after five years, and second class workmen after another five years, if their conduct was deemed satisfactory.
Entry for G.H. Orchard in the 'List of Persons Working in the Operative Department'
In 1900 the Swimming Club planned its first championship race. Using voluntary donations from members, the Committee had purchased a silver trophy to be presented to the winner and designed medals for second and third places, the tooling for which is stored in the Museum. By this time Orchard had become an active and accomplished member. He had already won competitions and been described by members of the Committee as swimming 'in good style'.
Royal Mint Swimming Club Medal Die
The race was held during the Club's annual excursion to Broxbourne and had five competitors: Messers Wallace, Hyem, Orchard, Jeffries and Smith. An exciting account of events is given:
'Hyem was the first to come away and swimming at a rather fast stroke led by about 30 yards for some distance. G Orchard however lessened this start about halfway with Jeffries following his lead. Hyem was undoubtedly in good form and maintained the lead and eventually won by some yards'.
Hyem had won in a time of 7 minutes and 47 seconds with Orchard coming second. The Museum has now acquired the silver medal he received for his achievement.
Silver Medal awarded to G.H. Orchard in 1900
Despite his creditable performance in 1900 Orchard was to do even better in the years that followed. Recent cataloguing work enabled us to take a closer look at the swimming club silver trophy itself. The winner's shields added to its base for the races in 1901, 1904 and 1905 all bear the name G. H. Orchard.
Inscriptions for Hyem and Orchard on the Royal Mint Swimming Club Silver Cup
Another notable figure was Ernest George Harry Clinkscales. Born in Hackney in 1863 he began working at the Royal Mint as a boy in 1879 at the age of 16. He appears to have been an active figure, appearing in the minute books of several of the Royal Mint clubs and societies over his 43-year career. He was Secretary of the Royal Mint Swimming Club and personally organised the entertainment at many of the Club's Smoking and Bohemian Concerts. The programmes we have from these concerts show he was not above performing himself with a song called 'Jack's the Boy'.
Smoking Concert programme from 1898 featuring Clinkscales as a Musical Director
By 1912 club attendance had waned but Clinkscales was evidently still passionate about the organisation. At one of the Annual General Meetings he recalled it 'not only as a swimming club but as the only social club linking up the members of the R.M.'. He made 'an earnest appeal to members to help bring the club up to its old position'.
There were no committee meetings of the Royal Mint Swimming Club through the years of the First World War and when they recommenced in 1921 it does not seem to have been as popular as it was in its early years. By 1923 the club was part of a larger Sports and Social Club and the final meeting was held on 21 May 1926.


ISUTAMI SFB-HH pressed flange bearing, also known as SFB-HH stamping flange bearing, H is the abbreviation of hexagon. SFB-HH series bearing is combined of flange and bearing. The pressed flange bearing consists of inner ring, outer ring, pressed body and retainer. It is formed by external forces such as presses and sheets, strips, tubes to create plastic deformation or separation, to achieve the required shape and specification. The stamped workpieces are mainly hot rolling and cold rolling steel sheets and strips.
SUTAMI stamping flange bearing is the use of a complete stamping automation system, automatic stamping production, on the steel sheet blank stack of the degree of regularity has more stringent requirements.If the raw materials are not piled up neatly, it will cause problems such as inaccurate position of grasping the plate.Therefore, before the automatic line input, in order to ensure the production of high quality stamping flange bearing, it must be clear to the process of strict requirements.
Stamping process layout requirements, the same type of stamping products to avoid mixing.Avoid stamping parts in the process of losing and missing.In this way flange flange parts will be stacked on the same side, so that the transmission process.
The inner ring of SFB-HH series pressed flange bearing is hexagonal, the inner ring diameter (d) range is 0.645''-0.698'', the outer ring diameter (D) is fixed at 2.265'', and the outer ring length ( B) range is 0.72''-0.81'', one of the outer ring side is flanged, and the total bearing diameter (F) is fixed at 2.44''. These data are consistent with SFB-HB series of same size. This series of bearing has convex on one side of the flange, and the length of the convex (including the flange, denoted by C) is fixed at 0.47'', while the other side without convex. Such structure is similar with SFB-B series stamping flange bearings and SFB-H series stamped flange bearings.
SFB-HH series stamping flange bearings can be installed in matching bearing housings or other fixed parts, mainly used for various heavy-duty bearing wheels, conveyor rollers, walking wheels, industrial and transportation equipment with high quality requirements.


Staff and cadets from across the wing came together at HMS Sultan in Gosport, to complete a series of training courses to aid in their personal training and their Squadrons' development.
A total of twenty-six staff and cadets undertook the ACO's BASIC training which is designed to help them understand what is required of them as an over 18 year old cadet or as Civilian Staff Instructors. The course consisted of presentations and discussions including Safeguarding & Administration, and Health & Safety. Under the new 2 day Wing Induction Course training package, staff completed the Heartstart programme and Methods of Instruction (MoI) to provide them with the skills to return back to squadron to deliver the cadet experience.
Finally, a further fifteen cadets undertook the Methods of Instruction training. The MoI training will equipment cadets to deliver presentations and lessons on the squadron. With just an assessment to go, these cadets will earn their lanyard as Instructor Cadets.
Well done to all those staff and cadets that undertook the training.

Love, Please Come Home
The song of the week is 'Love, Please Come Home' in the key of B.
Reno & Smiley - key of A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ndPGjJjWI
Del McCoury - key of B
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS4sm2_6DK
Bill Monroe - key of B
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYZE7CS5iio
The chord progression for 'Love Please Come Home' is:
Compare this with the progression for 'You Are My Sunshine' (Prog. V4 on the basic chord progressions chart):
The b7 (flat seven) chord is always one whole step (= two half steps) lower than the 1 chord. It is called the b7 chord because its root note is obtained by flatting (i.e., lowering by one half step) the 7th note ('ti') of the major scale.
in the key of G: b7 = F
in the key of A: b7 = G
in the key of Bb: b7 = Ab
in the key of B: b7 = A
in the key of C: b7 = Bb
in the key of D: b7 = C
in the key of E: b7 = D
in the key of F: b7 = Eb
Melody & Breaks (for non-capoed instruments)
Notice that the melody of 'Love Please Come Home' contains two notes that are not part of the B Major Scale (see the attachments). These two notes, the flatted 3rd and the flatted 7th (D & A respectively when in the key of B), are called 'blue notes'. Blue notes frequently show up in licks in bluegrass breaks even in songs in which the melody does not contain any blue notes. When the melody of a song does contain blue notes, take that as an invitation to try using more blue notes than usual in your breaks.
When playing in keys that have a lot of sharps in them (B has 5 sharps), being able to make extensive use of blue notes can often help to make playing breaks in those keys easier because the blue notes end up being notes that belong to the more user-friendly keys that have fewer sharps in them.
To acquaint yourself with making use of 'A' notes when playing in the key of B, try playing the following scale:
B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, A, B.
This is known as the B Mixolydian Scale. It consists of the same notes as the E Major Scale (4 sharps instead of 5 sharps). To get the hang of making use of A notes while playing in the key of B, try playing a break for Old Joe Clark in the key of B by raising every note by a whole step that you play in your key of A break for the tune. Here is a comparison of the notes of the A and B Mixolydian Scales to help you with this:
A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G
B, C#,D#,E, F#,G#,A
To acquaint yourself with using A and D notes when playing in the key of B: try playing the following two scales:
B, C#, D, E, F#, G#, A, B (B Dorian Scale: consists of the same notes as the A Major Scale: 3 sharps)
B, D, E, F#, A, B (B Minor Pentatonic Scale: consists of the same notes as the D Major Pentatonic Scale)
Clinch Mountain Backstep and Cluck Old Hen both use the Minor Pentatonic Scale. Try playing a break in B for one or both of these tunes by raising all the notes in your key of A breaks up a whole step.
Here is a comparison of the notes of the A Minor Pentatonic and B Minor Pentatonic Scales:
A, C, D, E, G
B, D, E, F#,A
Melody & Breaks (for capoed instruments)
Notice that the melody of 'Love Please Come Home' contains two notes that are not part of the G Major Scale (see the banjo and guitar tab melody sheets in the attachments). These two notes, the flatted 3rd and the flatted 7th (Bb & F respectively when in the key of G), are called 'blue notes'. Blue notes frequently show up in licks in bluegrass breaks even in songs in which the melody does not contain any blue notes. When the melody of a song does contain blue notes, take that as an invitation to try using more blue notes than usual in your breaks.
If you do not have much experience with using blue notes in your breaks, try playing your breaks for Old Joe Clark (contains F notes when played in G), and Clinch Mountain Backstep or Cluck Old Hen (both tunes contain Bb and F notes when played in G) before working up a break for Love Please Come Home. Then, as you work out a break for Love Please Come Home, try to find spots where you can make use of the some of the same moves and note combinations in it that you use when playing Old Joe Clark, Clinch Mtn., etc.

Jim Rondenelli Published: August 19, 2021
Madison County Sheriff's Office
The Madison County District Attorney's Office says 25-year old George McDonald, Jr. of Kirkville has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the September 2020 murder of Lizzie Garrow.
McDonald pleaded guilty on Wednesday in Madison County Court.
In entering his guilty plea, McDonald admitted to stabbing his estranged wife multiple times with a kitchen knife, and then leaving her body by the Thruway overpass in the Village of Canastota.
Garrow was pregnant at the time.
As part of his guilty plea, McDonald agreed to waive his right to appeal.
Appropriate orders of protection will also be issued.
Chief Assistant Robert Mascari, who prosecuted this case on behalf of Madison County District Attorney William Gabor, offered the following comments:
"This result was made possible by the outstanding investigative work of the Madison County Sheriff's Office, the New York State Police, the Village of Canastota Police Department, and the Onondaga County Medical Examiner's Office. Also, not to be overlooked are the many other agencies that tirelessly gave of their time in the search, and ultimate recovery, of Lizzie Garrow. This is a tragic result which has devastated Lizzie Garrow's family. While nothing our criminal justice system offers approaches the justice they deserve, the family is satisfied with and supportive of this result. It will give them finality in the criminal justice process and allow them to move on to positive ways of honoring Lizzie's memory."
Sentencing is scheduled for October 7 and McDonald faces 20 years to life in state prison.
It's anticipated that a member of Lizzie Garrow's family will address the Court at sentencing.

HARTFORD -- At three of the four Connecticut State University campuses, the president receives an extra $25,000 each year to spend without having to provide any documentation, according to university documents obtained by The Associated Press.
The fourth president receives $35,000 a year for her housing costs in lieu of the "unvouchered accommodation accounts," according to human resources policies that spell out all the compensation and benefits for the four presidents.
The policies, obtained by the AP through public records requests, provide a host of other benefits to the presidents, including state-owned cars, paid sabbatical leaves, special payments based on years of service and bonuses linked to job evaluations. Those perks are in addition to their $290,000-plus salaries, paid vacation and sick days and other benefits.
University presidents across the country receive similar compensation benefits, but some Connecticut lawmakers are questioning whether taxpayer money should be used for such perks with the state facing a $365 million deficit this fiscal year and projected $1 billion deficits in each of the next four years.
"We're in a tough place, because if you look at the bottom line we can't afford it," said Canton state Rep. Timothy LeGeyt, the ranking Republican on the legislature's higher education committee. "I think that their compensation packages are very full. On the flip side, we want to be competitive. These people come here and say they want to be compensated fairly."
The four presidents receive the extra cash in installments in every one of their paychecks through the year, a university system spokeswoman said.
LeGeyt said he wasn't aware the presidents received the money until being told by the AP.
Lawmakers said the payment was excessive and lacked accountability.
The policies on the state university presidents' unvouchered account money don't include any restrictions. The policies only say the money is to be used at the sole discretion of the presidents. A president who takes a housing allowance instead isn't eligible for the unvouchered account.
University of Connecticut President Susan Herbst's compensation package includes a $500,000 salary, a state-owned car, a driver, an on-campus house, staff and expenses for the house, a $125,000 bonus for completing five years of service and $50,000 a year in deferred compensation. UConn is not part of the state university system and is governed by its own board of trustees.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's chief of staff, Mark Ojakian, said the governor has no authority over state university compensation decisions.
He said state universities and colleges are forced to compete with others across the country that offer perks such as homes, cars, expense accounts, club dues, retention bonuses and retirement contributions.
