Make It Happen
24:01 with Allison House
People are really good at talking themselves out of learning new skills. We can procrastinate for years, then discard the prospect as unworthy. The possibility of failure and vulnerability threatens our ego. Requirements trap us before we have a chance to get started. Our emotional mind throws up all kinds of excuses to protect our self-image. When we're starting from scratch, how do we avoid this kind of creative quicksand? We'll uncover the hidden agendas in ourselves, recognise our abilities, and get tactical about building an explosive trajectory in our work.
[SOUND] So, last summer, I found myself working on a really challenging project.
And it was challenging in a way that I haven't really encountered before.
I've worked on some tough stuff.
I work with tight deadlines, but
it was always sort of within a pretty narrow realm of skills.
I was making a website or coding something up, for
stuff that we might be familiar with as web people.
But this particular project was something a little different.
It was a music video.
I designed and directed a music video for a band called Tweety.
And Tweety is Jeff Tweety, who in my mind is sort of iconic.
He's the front man of a band called Wilko and his son Spencer Tweedy, and
this is the band they formed, and their first single was called Summer Noon.
And I was tapped to work on this project independently to direct this video.
And so, [LAUGH] there was quite a lot I had to learn in order [LAUGH] to get this
done in order to get this done in a short period of time.
My biggest constraint was that I was pretty much totally new to 3D,
which was kind of a problem because it's a 3D music video [LAUGH].
And I had been doing 3D for maybe about three weeks at this point.
So, [LAUGH] I was pretty fresh, but I'd been sort of experimenting with it.
And actually Spencer, the drummer, had seen my experimentation.
And I had put out so much work by that point that there was sort of enough for
a portfolios worth that he thought, oh okay, she could actually get this done.
So there was a whole lot that I had to learn in terms of like cinematography.
I had to learn camera angles,
even what direction this balloon here should move from.
The answer is, left to right if it's a protagonist, I learned that particular
technique after [LAUGH] tons and tons of reading books about cinematography.
But the deadline for this was within three weeks.
I feel like I've said three several times.
But I had a really short timeline to get this done.
So of course there's a lot of sweat involved.
Of course, I was making things really quickly but
I had to be learning at the same time.
And so, that's kind of what this talk is about,
is the strategies that I use to product a lot of work quickly and
the approach that I take when on a project like this.
So this project actually came to me at a pretty good time because I was
just starting to experiment with how I could produce a lot of work really fast.
And people were really starting to notice and so this was, I think if I hadn't had
any strategy behind it, it would have been really difficult to get this done.
But because I put in the work and
also had some sort of way to streamline it, it made it a lot easier.
So, part of the reason that I'm interested in self-teaching is
because I'm really interested in education.
This is a trailer from an online class I recently did
with a company called Brit and Co.
They're a DIY community with over 10 million users targeted at women and
girls and helping them be more creative.
And I was invited to make an HTML and CSS course and
sort of present coding as another way to be creative which I really love.
I really like being able to present fun in development from that perspective,
rather than it just being sort of a tool or something that's purely technical.
I also developed a UX and
frontend development course last year in New York City with Thoughtbot.
They make bourbon, if any of you are familiar with that.
And Metis, which is a Kaplan subsidiary, to build this nine week course that took
people who had basic graphic design skills and sort of help them level that up so
that they could actually come out of that course and become product designers.
So in addition to that I was also the lead designer at Codecademy and at Treehouse.
Not at the same time [LAUGH] but at different periods of time.
And So this is something that I'm really interested in.
And I've always been, sort of, interested in, how can I merge my love for
education with my love for technology.
But I also think,
at the intersection of loving to learn and loving to teach, is self teaching.
And that's something that I've really been trying to get better at
in the last year or so.
So, when I was at Treehouse and when I was at Codecademy I think around that time,
I was the lead designer at these early stage startups.
And, kind of in this position where there weren't other designers around me who
could really help me grow my skill set quickly.
I think that mentorship, or at the very least having someone that can give you
feedback and critique on your work,
is a really easy an accessible way to quickly level up your skills.
But when I was at those companies, I kind of hit my ceiling.
I would ask people around in the office.
I would ask friends, but
it wasn't quite the same as having sort of rigorous design critic on a regular basis.
And so I sought out a team that would allow me to do that and
ended up joining the product design team at Dropbox.
And so this sort of like the early team or the members that were there when I joined.
And Morgan Knudsen on the far right here is the guy that sorta brought me on board.
So when I joined, there were just 3 three other people and
I think there's probably over 50 designers there now.
But we would get in a room every single day,
and we would share what we're working on and we would talk about it.
We would give each other feedback and say this could be better.
And that really focused and
disciplined form of critique sort of blew up my skill set.
I learned more about product design there than I had, back to back Codecademy and
Treehouse combined, without a doubt, so that was huge.
So kinda two things happened for me when I was at Dropbox.
One is that I got way better, which is great.
But the other thing that happened, was that I realized that I wasn't as
interested in product design as I used to be.
And I started getting it in my head that maybe I wanted to work on different types
of projects.
And late at night I started experimenting with things and
the more that I experimented on the side, the more I kind of felt like the work I
was doing in the day wasn't the work I wasn't meant to be doing.
And so, with this in mind, I flew the coop.
I decided to move on and to explore new territory.
I say that one thing that I've noticed across teaching classes, or
hiring junior designers at Dropbox, is that people with really high
potential tend to do one thing really well, and that is produce a lot of work.
And you can kinda say there's a high volume of work but also a high density.
It's not just a ton of work, they're doing it within short timeframes.
And so you end up with these people who maybe haven't had full-time jobs before
but are prolific.
And that tends to be a really good indicator of somebody's
potential because you know they're growing really quickly.
They're iterating on their skill set and instead of moseying along,
they're going to shoot up quickly.
And those are the types of people that you want to hire.
So with this in mind,
I wanted to figure out how can I become one of these prolific people?
How can I produce a high volume and a high density of work so
that I can knock it out of the park in another discipline?
So I wanna kinda present this idea of productive as a pulse for
your creative health.
I thing one thing that I noticed toward the end of my time at Dropbox was that I
just wasn't producing as much as I used to.
And I think that if your creativity is flourishing,
that results in a lot of work.
And if it's sort of waning or you're kinda getting snagged in that way,
then you're probably not producing as much.
And so these techniques that I'm gonna share with you,
are really sort of surrounding this idea producing a lot of work.
So I'm gonna share two things with you.
The first one is about how to move fast, and
the second one is how you can produce a lot of stuff.
So, how to move fast or, How To: Run Like The Devil Is Chasing You.
So I kinda wanna make clear, we hear this phrase like, move fast and break stuff
a lot and it kinda seems to match up with tech and efficiency and so on.
But for me, my purpose in wanting to move fast is more about building momentum and
just getting started.
I think often that's the most difficult part.
And if we kind of build up a little bit at the beginning,
it's a lot easier to produce more as we go along through a project or
if we're trying to learn something new.
If you have a book by your nightstand and
you read it every night it's real easy to pick up where you left off.
If you leave it alone for three weeks and try to come back to it,
you gotta flip back a couple pages.
There ends up being sort of a startup cost associated with that.
And so the idea here, is you get the momentum so
that you don't have that startup cost over and over again.
You can kinda cut out a lot of the process and noise and
just focus on actually getting things done.
So I have kind of a high level design strategy that I sort of use for
everything whether it's making a website, whether it's building a product.
I like to start really broad.
I like to get a lay of the land.
I like to figure out what's going on.
Then I prioritize what the next most important or
impactful thing I can do is and then I go deep.
I start knocking that out in order of priority.
So I'm going to give you example with learning 3D and
kind of how I started out with this.
So, when I'm teaching something like frontend development or
design, I like to start with one continuous project that is pretty shallow.
So it is something that kind of hits all the high notes in a certain discipline but
doesn't necessarily go deep on anything.
I think when you are first starting out,
one of the first things you want to know is context.
You want to understand like, okay this a black box, what is inside it?
What are the possibilities?
And that's often a more useful place to begin,
than learning really technical terms, and getting really deep into specific stuff.
So I started out by doing a small project that covered a lot of bases around 3Ds.
There's simulation, there was modeling, there was a little bit of animation.
And I'm actually gonna show you my Instagram posts as I was creating this
because I was sort of posting live.
And if you like work in progress, or seeing the creative flow,
I'm Allison House on Instagram, I post a lot of that stuff.
So here I'm just getting started.
And you'll see in the captions I kind of descend into madness a little bit.
So I just start out like, okay, best animation ever or what.
And then this is the best day of my life,
which it kinda was, I was like, really excited.
Then we got [LAUGH] which I'm just gone at this point.
But I was having so much fun.
It's like the first time that you made a website or
whatever your sort of creative spark is, the first time that you do that,
there is just this something that lights you up.
And you never did this thing before, so
it's like this totally unique and beautiful feeling.
I was going through that and putting it on Instagram.
[LAUGH] So we just ended up on, look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
But it actually came out pretty okay and so
we're covering a lot of different stuff here.
There's like the dynamics aspect,
the simulation component, there's the modeling of the actual bomb and
there's some texturing there as well, so I learned a little bit about materials.
The wick, how it sort of pairs with that spark as it goes down,
that's a little bit about relationships between objects.
And so this isn't really a complicated scene but it came together really well and
I learned a little bit about everything as I went.
So I wasn't really deep diving on anything but
just trying to understand what was possible and
then I could decide what I wanted to do next, what I wanted to learn next.
So over the next few days, and this really was like a three-week timeline, so
it was pretty short.
Over the next few days, I started messing around with different things I
thought I might be interested in, just to get a sense of where I should go next.
So this is rigid body physics.
So these are just objects that I've sorta put a tag on that makes them
have gravity and fall to the ground, but you can see there's no real modeling or
anything going on, I'm only trying out rigid body stuff here.
And then this is soft body, which is cool and gets mushy and it drops down.
And there's a bajillion different settings that you can use for this, so
there's a lot that you can dive into.
I mean, really, 3D is intending to mimic real life and
sort of an infinite amount of settings that you can use for that,
so you can imagine the sort of breadth of this particular discipline.
And here I am doing more paring stuff, so
this is just figuring out the relationship between things.
And so through these explorations, I'm trying to prioritize what I want to learn
next, what's going to have the most impact, and what I landed on was lighting.
With this really simple scene, and
this is the grids are there just to show you what's going on in it.
I've got us a sphere up top, I've got a plane on the bottom and
that plane has something a noise effector on it.
Which just means it has a wiggle or a jiggle to it and you can animate that
which is really cool, great for looping animation which I'm a really big fan of.
And then there's just one spot light going on top of these waves, and
I'll show you what this looks like.
So I decided I wanna go deep on lighting, so here we go.
So you're looking at the same thing but here it is animated so
we've got the sphere up top.
We've got this plane on the bottom.
We've got that noise effector moving along, and then we've got that light,
and that one light has so much impact on this really simple scene.
So I wanted to explore that a little bit more.
So here's another one,
this was kind of inspired by when I was a kid in my bedroom.
Sometimes there would be headlights from the cars going by.
Maybe some of y'all saw that too.
And it would sort of like flood the room at night with light for
just a second as it's passing by and then it would go away.
There's something a little big nostalgic about that to me, so
I thought I'd see if I could recreate some form of that in gif format.
And this was also a chance to play with color a little bit too, so
lighting and color is kind of where I started out.
And if you look at my more recent stuff you'll see that lighting and
color tends to be what I'm strongest at.
I'm still kinda catching up on modeling and simulation, but
because I began with lighting and thought it had the most impact,
it's something that has threaded throughout my work as being really strong.
So this is another one and
again, if you look at the actual 3D shapes, they're just primitives.
And primitives are the most basic 3D shapes that you can possibly have.
There's no extra modeling, I'm not really doing anything fancy or special.
I'm really just ratcheting up the lighting and
putting it in between these primitive shapes.
So that's the idea of going wide, prioritizing, and then going deep.
I think that you can liken this to designing an interface, for example.
If we have five different things that we wanna put in an interface,
okay well, let's decide what's the most important of those five things and
then make it bigger or make it more obvious or make it easier to use.
And I think that this is something that you can loop through again and again.
I think that this question comes up like okay,
well I've learned a little bit about lighting, when do I stop?
Like, do I keep figuring things out,
I mean there's always a lot more that you can learn.
But if you ask yourself this question again,
okay, I'm looking at everything I've got, I'm looking at all the possibilities,
and lighting no longer is the most impactful thing I can learn,
that's when you've know you've sort of hit your ceiling on that thing, and
it's time to move on, you can try something else.
So I think this is a useful way to check yourself and keep going through that loop,
to make sure you are working on the highest impact thing as you move forward.
Anybody who works on product is probably familiar with this concept,
cuz this is definitely influenced by my background in software.
Okay, so let's talk about the second thing,
which is how to produce a lot of work or how to train like a monk.
This is about developing a regular
practice that is going to allow you to produce regularly.
I think that this is a tough thing for us, we often say, oh I don't have enough time,
I don't have enough energy.
But often, that's not actually the case, we just need to find a way to
automate it and make it a little bit easier for us to do.
I personally really suck at trying to schedule myself, micro-manage myself, and
I don't know anybody really wants to do that, sort of outsmart themself.
And I think that's, when I've failed at doing those things, when it's 2 PM,
I'm gonna practice for one hour, I felt bad.
I felt like I'm just not disciplined, or I'm not doing things right,
and so this is sort of the method that I found that works for me, so
if you're somebody that has attempted to schedule yourself and
it just didn't work out, this might be something for you to try.
So, my ideal practice session has three qualities.
One, it is chained,
which means I tack it on to another event that I already do every day.
Two, it's achievable, so
it has to be something really, really small, like bite sized.
It can't be, oh, I'll do this in a half hour, it's like oh,
I could get this done in 15 minutes, it has to be beyond doable.
And the last part is there has to be some sort of payoff.
There has to be a little bit of meaning and emotion in it.
There has to be some sort of purpose that you've infused this project with.
So, chained, what I mean by that is every day we have a routine.
It might be something as simple as like, you brush your teeth, maybe
you take a shower everyday, maybe you walk the dog, maybe you put the kids to bed.
But it's identifying something in your day that has a space
after it that you can fit in a small practice session.
Instead of like trying to develop the willpower for
us to just be like okay, 2 o'clock, I'm gonna get this done.
Instead of having to call upon those mental resources, which when we say we
have no energy, it means we've depleted already, we just make it automatic.
So, let's say like every single day, I mean this is what I'm doing right now,
is every single day at night, I walk my dog.
And when I get back from the walk, that's when I do my second shift.
So, things can, your routine will change.
So this isn't always going to be perfect,
you'll need to sort of find different activities to do it with.
But when I get home at night, and I'm done walking the dog and
I hang up the leash, that becomes a trigger.
As soon as that happens, I'm like okay, automatically I know it's time for
me to get started.
And so after you do this for a couple weeks, it becomes habit.
And I think developing a habit, making it automatic, is pretty key to just
making it occur, otherwise we'd develop all kinds of excuses.
Our brain is great like that, it's kinda trying to like protect us from having to
try something and trying to protect our ego and our emotions.
But you kinda have to recognize that for what it is.
So achievable means that you are asking something really small of yourself.
And the reason that we do this is so we don't procrastinate it and so
we don't dread it.
If we have a ten part project that we have to get done and that's what we're gonna
work on, it's really easy to put that off, the enormity of things, it's real easy for
that to sort of be like, oh, I don't know if that's actually what I want to do.
So, I think it's really important to actually give yourself an assignment,
make it something really, really tiny and that makes this next part important.
So, the payoff is some sort of emotional response, it's something that
you put meaning and purpose in this, so it makes you wanna move forward.
And what I've found is if you're just doing, I don't know, generic tutorials or
something, it can get really boring and maybe you'll put in your ten minutes and
But if it's something that feels meaningful to you and
that you're really interested in, or really interested in expressing,
it's a lot easier to keep going beyond that 10, 15 minutes to a half hour.
Or another half hour.
The key is you're trying to develop the momentum to keep going forward.
And I think these three things really help with that.
So I wanna give you a couple examples of a little projects I've done
that have a payoff.
So this image over here on the left is a dribble shot from one of my friends,
Ryan Putnam.
Really an incredible illustrator.
And I worked with him for a while at Dropbox, and
sort of knew him separately as well.
On a Friday afternoon, I saw him put up this shot.
It's actually him plotting out the ceramics he wants to make,
which I thought was awful cute.
And particularly cute was this little cactus that you see to the left of
the vase on the right.
So I thought I would use that as a silhouette to make a 3D cactus out of.
I'm not the best modeler, so it seemed like a fair enough place to start.
But also, there's some level of Emotion involved in that.
It reminds me of Ryan.
It's kind of a fun way, a designy way to say like hello to him.
And it also helps me practice things, right?
So I ended up putting up like, I rebounded his shot.
And it was kind of fun, like people really enjoyed it.
Here's another example.
So, when I was working at Dropbox, there was a music room there called the Mint.
And, it had this great neon sign.
And the neon sign was actually modeled after the Mint,
which is a karaoke bar on Market Street in San Francisco.
And that's a picture of it there on the top left.
And also, when I was living in San Francisco,
I just saw neon stuff all the time and it really got to me.
It seeped into my brain, so to speak.
Where I'd just be walking around, like lower Knob Hill.
There's all these beautiful hotels.
And my all time favorite sign in San Francisco,
my overall favorite landmark is the Hotel Huntington sign.
That's a picture of it in the daytime, but at night, it's all lit up.
And there's always fog rolling in.
It's absolutely beautiful, and it feels very other worldly when you look at it.
And so, being exposed to that stuff pretty regularly,
and I feel strongly we can just find beauty in the everyday things.
I wanted to create something that was a combination.
That was where that emotional resonance came from.
And so on the right, I'm sketching things out.
And overlayed on top of that is me actually creating splines in cinema 4D to
recreate this from a flat view.
So it's kind of like tracing something in illustrator.
I'm just doing it with cinema 4D with splines instead which is
like the equivalent of paths.
So this is kind of where I ended up after some tweaking.
And eventually I animated this.
And it turned out like this.
And I feel great when I look at that.
I feel great.
I mean, it's not just because it looks awesome.
But because it's like It reminds me of like being in San Francisco.
And there's like the nerdy twist on it cuz my whiskey bar's called The Inbox.
So yeah like after I completed this it made me wanna do more.
It makes me wanna create more stuff.
And that for me, that momentum is really really important.
So that's the idea behind the second shift technique.
It's chained, it's achievable, and there's some sort of payoff at the end.
So I believe in working hard, and I also believe in working smart.
I think, sometimes we sort of paint these two things as mutually exclusive, but
I don't think that they are.
I think that if we're strategic, we can use both, and
then we can multiply our abilities.
And to me, that's living a full life.
That's finding creative fulfillment and being creatively satisfied.
I really like this Buddhist saying, that our actions are our only true belongings.
So I say train like a monk, run like the devil is chasing you,
and be a wild child because where I'm from, a little trouble is good for you.
Thank you. [APPLAUSE]

The Mérieux Foundation Takes Action in Response to the Ebola Emergency in the Congo
| PRESS RELEASE ARCHIVE
Lyon, Tuesday October 8, 2019 – An Antonov airplane hired specially by the Mérieux Foundation will take off from the Lyon-Saint Exupery airport (France) on Wednesday October 9. Three container laboratories have been loaded onto the aircraft to bolster efforts to control the Ebola virus disease epidemic. Their final destination is Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
On July 19, Alain Mérieux received an alert from Professor Jean-Jacques Muyembe, appointed by the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to coordinate the national response to the Ebola epidemic. Professor Muyembe described the emergency situation his country faced. He was particularly insistent about the crucial need for a laboratory to improve diagnostic capacities in Goma, the country's third largest city, located in the region bordering Uganda and Rwanda.
Race against the clock
By the end of July, the Mérieux Foundation had decided to do everything in its power to respond to this emergency. Its own teams and the teams at IMeBIO got to work and two months later, three containers were ready to be shipped.
The shipment includes a biosafety 2 (BSL2) level diagnostic container laboratory, a BSL3 level container laboratory, and a refrigeration unit to store reagents.
These "plug & play" container laboratories, manufactured by the Grenoble-based company IMeBIO, are particularly well-adapted to complex, challenging situations on the ground. They are equipped with advanced technologies that comply with the most stringent international quality, biosafety and biosecurity standards. This equipment is essential to perform reliable and rapid diagnostic tests and to ensure biological monitoring of patients. In epidemic situations, access to diagnostics is critical to identify individuals who have been infected and direct them to treatment centers, which helps to control the epidemic.
The containers are being transported from Grenoble to the Lyon-Saint Exupery airport and loaded onto a large cargo aircraft during the afternoon of October 8. In the early hours of October 9, the Antonov airplane will take off for Kigali, Rwanda, where the containers will be unloaded and transported by truck to Goma, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
A secure site is essential to install the laboratories. Once they have been set up, the necessary equipment and lab consumables will be sent in the days that follow. The container laboratories will be delivered and donated to the National Institute for Biomedical Research in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, directed by Professor Muyembe, and his teams will operate the units. In addition to serving in the short term to respond to the Ebola epidemic, in the long term they will help strengthen the country's diagnostic and surveillance capacities, and can be used during outbreaks of other infectious diseases.
A separate mobile laboratory is also being loaded onto the airplane on October 8, as part of a pan-European partnership between the Mérieux Foundation and the Praesens Foundation, in conjunction with Africa CDC (Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention). This private Belgian foundation's truck-based mobile laboratory will complement the container laboratories, making it possible to travel into remote, difficult-to-reach areas to collect samples and perform preliminary screening tests.
Taking action and forming exceptional partnerships
In addition to the remarkable efforts by teams from the Mérieux Foundation and IMeBIO, both in France, and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this operation –which represents a total budget of €2 million– also received logistics support from Bioport and the Lyon Airport, which have extensive experience in transport for humanitarian actions.
"This operation makes me feel especially gratified and proud. Working with our partners, we were able to win this race against the clock. Our foundation has upheld its commitment to fighting infectious diseases that strike the poorest regions of the globe – a commitment that we translate into action on the ground, with our local partners and friends," said Alain Mérieux, President of the Mérieux Foundation. "As the Global Fund's Replenishment Conference is about to open tomorrow in Lyon, this initiative is emblematic of the new international partnerships that are absolutely necessary to combat infectious diseases, in particular during epidemics, when time is of the essence, in an approach that must be planetary and long term. I would like to pay tribute to the responsiveness and commitment of the teams of all our partners, especially the company, IMeBIO, and the Bioport association," he added.
Professor Muyembe, Director of the National Institute of Biomedical Research in the DRC, stated: "The donation of modern laboratories to Goma by the Mérieux Foundation comes just at the right time to help stop this epidemic and strengthen the health system in the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo."
Jean-François Jung, Chief Executive Officer of IMeBIO added, "The challenge entrusted to us by the Mérieux Foundation, highlighted the importance of making laboratory solutions available that can be adapted and deployed in container form anywhere in the world to effectively protect medical teams fighting infectious diseases in emergency situations. The level of this health emergency has mobilized all our teams and partners to make the laboratories available as quickly as possible."
Dr. Rudi Pauwels, Founder and President of the Praesens Foundation, stated: "We are proud and grateful for our partnership with the Mérieux Foundation in this project to strengthen local capacities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and hope that this marks the beginning of a lasting alliance. Common values, complementary skills and concern for vulnerable populations unite us in this fight against infectious diseases that calls for a participatory approach."
"After the Ebola operation in 2014, Bioport's teams are making all their expertise available to the Mérieux Foundation and its partners to successfully deliver this long-awaited laboratory to the field to provide quality diagnosis under the best conditions," declared Benoit Miribel, President of Bioport.
Tanguy Bertolus, Chairman of the Lyon Airports Management Board stated: "VINCI Airports' teams in Lyon are proud to be associated with this exceptional initiative alongside the Mérieux Foundation, by mobilizing all the expertise of the operators of Cargoport, the airport's freight zone.

Deep wisdom simply shared
A new book, Pathways to a Decision with Ignatius of Loyola by Jim Maher SJ, presents some of the key insights of St Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits, into making good decisions. These are explained in a clear and informal way by the author, who introduces the reader to the Ignatian concepts of consolation and desolation, the practice of the Examen (a 15-minute prayer of reflection and gratitude), and the principle of agere contra.
"I wrote the book because I believe that Jesuit spirituality has a lot to offer people," said Jim in an interview with Martin Mongan, journalist with the Limerick Leader newspaper. "Unfortunately, other books about spirituality use very technical language, and people are put off by them. My aim was to write a book that is straight-forward, acceptable and easy for people to relate to," he said.
Whilst his book is based on the wisdom of Ignatius of Loyola, the principles can be adapted for people from other religions and all walks of life, according to Jim.
St Ignatius developed a spirituality that grew out of his own lived experience, so it is concrete and psychologically as well as spiritually based. It offers people the tools to identify God's presence, Jim notes, and it helps them to make good decisions through the ordinary daily routine of their lives.
Ignatian spirituality has helped countless numbers of people down the centuries. Jim believes that his book offers a window into this spirituality which recognises that God's presence can be detected through our feelings, desires, and actions, often in unexpected places and at unexpected times.
Jim Maher SJ was born in Limerick. He has spent most of his Jesuit life ministering at Crescent College Comprehensive SJ as a teacher of English and R.E. He managed the 5th Year Social Outreach Programme and led 6th Year pilgrimage retreats. He continues to provide pastoral support at Crescent College Comprehensive.
Pathways to a Decision with Ignatius of Loyola is published in Ireland and the UK by Messenger Publications ». Price: €12.95/£11.95.

US Pakistan policy is floundering
by Aijaz Ahmad May 13, 2009 September 23, 2020
Aijaz Ahmad Pt.2: US must work with regional states and pull out of Afghanistan to find Pakistan solutio
PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Welcome back to The Real News Network, joined again by Aijaz Ahmad, who's usually based in Delhi. He joins us today from New York City. I'm in Washington. Aijaz is a noted scholar. He's also a journalist and author. He writes about Asia and geopolitics around the world. Thanks again for joining us, Aijaz.
AIJAZ AHMAD, SENIOR ANALYST, TRNN: Thank you very much, Paul.
JAY: So we left off the first segment of the interview with you suggesting that there really doesn't seem to be any kind of sensible strategy of the US in Pakistan, and Afghanistan. What would a sensible strategy be right now? Obama seems to have—. It's very strange. They assessed the whole situation, they took time, in theory, to come up with a new plan, but the plan seems more or less an extension of the plan that was being carried on under Bush. What should a plan be?
AHMAD: Well, I don't think that the question of Afghanistan and Pakistan can be separated from the region as a whole and, indeed, the various regions around Afghanistan. I think one place to start for Mr. Obama is to firmly announce that the United States is committed to a two-state solution in Palestine and to the withdrawal of Israel from all the territories it occupied in 1967. That will set the stage for a serious dialog across the region. The second thing that Mr. Obama has to do is to set a firm date for withdrawal from Afghanistan, which most Afghans want him to do. Thirdly, I think the United States should seriously, seriously look for a strategy to get out. And that can only be done rationally, I believe, if you bring in all the major powers of the region into the game, in which essentially the only thing going for the United States is that every country around Afghanistan, that is to say, Iran, India, Pakistani state (to the extent that one exists,) China, Russia, Caspian Sea basin countries, one thing they don't want is a Taliban government. In order to find a solution in Afghanistan, the United States has to rely on these people within the region. But in order to bring them into a serious dialog, the United States will also have to recognize the basic strategic interests and accommodate itself to the basic strategic interests of these various countries. It'll have to normalize its relations with Iran, it will have to have a strategic dialog with Russia, with China, with India, and also take into consideration some basic strategic interests that Pakistan has in Afghanistan. It is only the powers in the region which can help the US to get out. And the only thing rational that the US can do at this point is to get out.
JAY: The threat that the US talks about all the time is the issue of who's going to have Pakistan's nuclear weapons, what's going to happen with Pakistan state. I think the Pakistan army and Zardari have made it clear that they don't think there's really any threat to that. But if the US follows the strategy you're talking about—and so far that doesn't seem to even be part of the conversation at the official levels—but if they do, how does Pakistani society respond to what's happening in the tribal areas?
AHMAD: Well, I mean, the Pakistani society doesn't separate things that are going on in the tribal areas from other things that are going on in the country and in the region as a whole. Moreover, what's going on now in Swat, in Dir, in Shangla, and so on is much more important than what's going on in the tribal areas. Probably Americans don't know the difference between tribal areas and the settled areas. Pakistanis don't separate things out and think about North Waziristan; Pakistanis actually think about everything that is impacting this situation, the sort of things that I was talking about.
JAY: What I'm asking is that the way it's portrayed in the West is that there is a concern or fear in Pakistan that the Talibanization or Islamicization of Pakistani society is possible because of what's going on now. Is there any validity to that?
AHMAD: Americans think as if everything is sui generis. Islamization in Pakistan has been going on since 1980, ever since Pakistan got to be used as a staging ground for the American jihad in Afghanistan. Islamization has been going on in Pakistan ever since 2001, when the Americans invaded Afghanistan and the Taliban came and established sanctuaries in northwestern Pakistan. It's a long-term process, and it is going on and on, and everything that the Americans do only increase and escalate that process. You mentioned earlier about the nuclear weapons. There has never been a problem. This is a bogey. But Americans are creating a situation now where the state is becoming so brittle that there might in fact be in the future such a problem. But that is a result of what the American strategy has been. Pakistani government, Pakistani army has in fact been extraordinarily sober about its nuclear weapons. India and Pakistan consult on these issues all the time. We all know that these nuclear weapons are spread into various places, that there are all kinds of precautions that have been taken about those nuclear weapons, and nuclear weapons will fall into someone else's hands if the Pakistan army collapses.
JAY: Right. You once said in an earlier interview I did with you that this fight against extremism in these areas has to be taken up by Pakistanis on behalf of Pakistan, not to be seen as an agency of US policy. Is what happened in Washington in the last couple of days—Zardari comes to Washington and an offensive begins. I guess that means they've done exactly the opposite of what you were suggesting.
AHMAD: What I was suggesting is an ideal thing. There has never been any pause in the Americans pushing the Pakistanis into a posture of war, throughout, since 2001. If not Zardari's arrival here—Zardari's arrival here has only—you know, this has been the moment when they finally put the pressure. And we saw it happening over the last two weeks, well before Zardari came to Washington. The secretary of state, everybody, suddenly started talking about these nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons. Everyone knows that nuclear weapons, as of now, are perfectly safe. This is for feeding the media.
JAY: In Washington, Zardari said he wanted the Americans to stop the Predator attacks. Karzai said he wanted Americans to stop aerial bombing of villages. Gates' reaction on both counts seems to be "We aren't going to tie our hands." But, the Americans seem not to be listening to either of them.
AHMAD: All I can say is that I have utterly no clue as to what Americans are thinking. My sense is that if Americans dropped everything and just left Afghanistan and Pakistan, things won't be worse than they are.
JAY: Thanks very much for joining us, Aijaz.
AHMAD: Okay. Thank you very much.
JAY: And thank you for joining us on The Real News Network.

Panasonic, Philips and Sony get together to make Blu-ray Disc licensing simpler - and cheaper - for manufacturers
Plan to establish a 'one-stop BD licence shop' should make it easier for companies to develop their own players and recorders
It's hoped the simplified - and less expensive - process will encourage more companies to develop BD products, and the 'big three' will be working with other patent holders to set up the programme.
The new independent licensing company, funded equally by the three majors, will be set up in the USA, with branches in Asia, Europe and Latin America.
It's hoped the other patent holders will join in, and become shareholders in the company, which will then administer their patents relevant to BD.
In the past, companies wishing to build Blu-ray Disc hardware have had to acquire a variety of licences, including separate ones for CD, DVD and BD functionality. The new programme will bring all this together in a single licence, and reduce costs.
It's expected that the licence fee for a Blu-ray player will fall about 40%, to $9.50, and that for a BD recorder by a similar amount, to $14.
The fees for discs will be 11 cents for a read-only disc - such a movie, with recordable and rewritable discs at 12 cents and 15 cents respectively.
It's expected the single licence will be available by midway through the year.

Foods That Are High in CLA
By Andrea Johnson
Andrea Johnson began writing professionally during her time as a clinical dietitian in which she was published in the "Journal of Renal Nutrition" in 2006. Johnson completed her Master of Science in nutrition from Appalachian State University in 2005.
Conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, is an omega-6 polyunsaturated essential fatty acid, which provides support, flexibility, and structure to cell membranes. The recommendation for CLA for human benefit is 3 grams daily, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. Potential health benefits of CLA involve anti-heart disease effects, anti-cancer effects and body fat reduction. Much more research is needed, but the initial reports appear promising. Food sources of CLA include milk, beef and eggs.
dairy products and beef from grass fed cows are great sources of CLA

ground beef contains significant amounts of CLA

The most abundant source of CLA is beef from grass-fed cows, according a study in the October 1999 issue of the "Journal of Dairy Science." The type of food the cow eats is critical to the amount of conjugated linoleic acid found in beef. Grass-fed cows have much more CLA present than cows fed a typical corn diet. This is due to the amount of omega-3 fatty acids found in grass that is not present in corn. Fresh ground beef contains 4.3 milligrams of CLA per gram of fat.
milk from grass fed cows is also high in CLA

Milk contains high amounts of CLA, especially from cows that are grass-fed. A study published in 2004 in "Circulation" reports that cows fed grass at higher altitudes tend to have even more CLA content than those fed at lower altitudes due to the omega-3 fatty acid content in the grass. An important point to note about milk is that CLA is found in the fat of the milk, so low-fat and non-fat versions of milk would have smaller amounts than whole milk. Cow's milk contains 5.5 milligrams of CLA per gram of fat.
the CLA in eggs is present even after frying

Eggs are another food source of CLA, which is higher in eggs from chickens that are grass-fed. CLA is found in the egg yolk of eggs. A study published in August 2004 in "Food Chemistry" reports that CLA content was maintained even after frying. The Linus Pauling Institute fortified eggs with CLA in an effort to determine the effects of fortification on CLA levels in hamsters and proved to be effective without adverse events. The idea is to use this same process in eggs for human consumption to improve the amount of CLA in the diet since food sources are limited in the Western diet.

We woke up early at our apartment in Vienna and got going quick - it was going to be a long, fun-filled day! First stop, the Hofburg Palace in Vienna - family home of the Hapsburg dynasty and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Hofburg Palace is amazing, and it takes up several city blocks. We found a parking spot across the street from the main entrance and bought some tickets for the Gold Tour - a tour that included ONLY 40 rooms in royal apartments section of the palace.
Each of us got our own English-speaking electronic audio tour guides, and we were off. The rooms we toured were amazing, and the audio tour was a great way to see the rooms at your own pace. After the inside tour, we walked the palace courtyard and gardens, including the fountains and lots of life-sized marble statues. It truly is magnificent to see it all in person, and the photos do not do it any justice.
We got back to the car around 11am and got on the road for Slovakia! We arrived in Bratislava, Slovakia at about 12:30pm and found a place for lunch near the Bratislava Old Town and the Castle. Lunch was great and we followed it up with a short walk around the castle grounds, where we enjoyed an amazing view of the city and the Slovakia countryside. Bratislava is a town we would like to come back to see when we have more time... but we were only there for lunch and had to go!
We left Slovakia at about 3pm and arrived at our apartment checkin in Prague at about 6:30pm. More about Prague in our next post!!

A Whole Body Approach: Why CHIPSA Integrates The Power of the Mind to Heal Cancer
CHIPSA Hospital is known for it's immunotherapy-based treatments that incite the body's own, powerful immune system to fight off disease. Our methods are focused on harnessing the tools already available within the patient's own body, and that includes the entire body, even the mind.
Patients at CHIPSA are not only receiving physical treatments, they're also receiving therapies that empower them to gain control over their mindsets and promote full body healing.
"Our mind is so powerful," says Sarah Petersen, CHIPSA's certified life coach. "What we're learning now is becoming aware of our thoughts, creating clear intention, coming from a place of gratitude. And although that stuff used to be seen as 'fufu,' we now have the science to back it up."
In 2017, researchers at Stanford University performed a study that showed how mindset has a significant affect on physical healing. The study's lead author, Alia Crum, PhD, said that medical schools in the United States should be training their physicians to be more aware of patient mindset. Unfortunately, U.S. medical schools have not yet placed a priority on the role of psychological forces in physical healing.
CHIPSA has been focused on whole-body healing long before U.S. medical research confirmed it was important. That's why both patients and their families attend a weekly support group led by a life coach that helps them to uncover the emotional aspects of the strenuous healing journey.
Sarah Petersen was brought onto this team over three years ago to create a space and environment in a group session where patients and their loved ones can come together and focus on the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspect all that goes into healing cancer. "In my opinion," said Sarah, "this is the most important aspect of their healing journey. It's not just for the patient, it's for their loved ones as well."
Patients at CHIPSA believe this seminar to be integral to our treatment regimen. One patient even chose CHIPSA because it was the only hospital to offer the program. "I was in another clinic six months ago down here," she said. "While I was there for three weeks, I just felt this huge gap in my healing. I think probably that part of it is much more important than the physical treatments we go through. This is what I came for." – Carolyn C.
Another aspect of mindset that the Stanford University researchers discovered was the importance of the relationship between physicians and their patients. Doctors have the power to make or break a patient's attitude and determination, and far too often, the latter is what occurs.
Part of what makes CHIPSA unique is that each patient receives an individualized treatment plan from their doctor. Patients are not just numbers who receive one-size-fits-all treatment. From the moment they step in the door, they are welcomed into a family of doctors, nurses, staff, and other patients who are joining their team. The doctors at CHIPSA make sure that no patient feels alone.
"Two weeks ago when I walked into this room, I was just overwhelmed by the positivity of the human condition of everyone," said one patient. "I can't even describe it or put it into words." – Mari F.
Beginning a journey to heal cancer is tough on the body, but it's probably even tougher on the spirit. That's why learning how to control your thoughts and choose your daily path is crucial in helping both patients — and their families — to heal.
"There is a lot of freedom and a lot of joy in knowing that we really are responsible for waking up each day and choosing our own happiness," said Sarah. "All of that stuff really does lead to healing, and that's what's most important here at CHIPSA."

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Merch / JoJo Blog / Top 8 Best JoJo in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Top 10 JoJo - September 17, 2020
Top 8 Best JoJo in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Best JoJo
In the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, we follow the adventure of a family of main characters that we call "JoJo" because these two syllables appear in their name. And today, we're going to reveal you a Top 8 of the best Joestar ranked by their popularity in 2020.
We just remind that this article contains spoilers, so if you have not yet watched or read the entire JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, you may be spoiled about the various upcoming events.
Are you ready? Starting from number 8, the best JoJo in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is…
8. Jolyne Kûjô (Jolyne Cujoh)
First one in our top, Jolyne Kûjô. Jolyne is the sixth JoJo and the first and only female descendant of the Joeystar Family. She appears for the first time in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part. 6 Stone Ocean released in 2000-2003 in Japan.
Daughter of Jotaro Kujo, she is incarcerated for a crime actually committed by her boyfriend. It is not a secret for any fan that Jolyne never loved Jotaro and hates her father who has never been there for her. However, it is thanks to him that she will get her Stand, Stone Free allowing her to transform her body into strings and thus survive in the prison of Green Dolphin Street.
7. Johnny Joestar
Johnny Joestar is the seventh JoJo and appears for the first time in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part. 7 Steel Ball Run released from 2004 to 2011 in Japan.
Johnny second protagonist of JoJo part. 7, along with Jayro Zeppeli. Very popular among the fans who consider him as one of the best Joestar, Johnny is born with huge talent for horse racing and is recognized as prodigy in his domain until he had an accident that left him paraplegic when he was 17 years old.
He then will participate in the Steel Ball Run where he will face Pork Pie Hat Boy, a terrorist, and learn to master his Tusk Stand, a powerful stand that allows him to shoot his enemies with his nails.
6. Jôsuke Higashikata (Part. 8)
Jôsuke Higashikata is the eighth JoJo and appears for the first time in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part. 8 JoJolion released from 2011 in Japan and still running at the moment.
Jôsuke is a young man with amnesia found naked, unconscious, with four testicles and wearing a sailor's hat near the "Wall eyes" by Yasuho Hirose. He will later discover that he is actually Josefumi Kujo, a direct descendant of the Joestar family and a very close friend of the Kira Family with whose help he will set out to recover his memory.
Finally welcomed by the Higashikata Family, Josuke will understand during JoJo's season 8 that he is the key to a riddle concerning a strange illness affecting the Higashikata and the strange ability of the "Wall Eyes".
As mentioned before, as a descendant of the Joestar family, Josuke has his own stand, his Soft & Wet Stand, which allows him to remove any element from any object with the help of bubbles: water, sound, smell, and more.
Not to be confused with the Jôsuke of part. 8, Jôsuke Higashikata is the fourth JoJo and appears for the first time in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part. 4 Diamond is Unbreakable released from 1992 to 1995 in Japan and still running at the moment in the USA.
Josuke is a simple 16-year-old high school student who can't stand criticism about his haircut. He lives in Morio with his mother Tomoko and his grandfather Ryohei who is a police officer. We later discover that he is in fact the illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar.
When Ryohei got killed by the psychopath Angelo, Josuke makes a duty to protect the town of Morio. This resolution has pleased so much the fans that a large part of them consider him as best Jojo in the whole lineage. Being a descendant of the Joestar family, Josuke is a stand user and masters Crazy Diamond, a stand similar to Star Platinum in terms of martial skills. However, there is a noticeable difference between these two stands, the Crazy Diamond's scream is "DORARARA" while the Platinum Star's scream is "ORA ORA".
Crazy Diamond also possesses a unique ability to reshape any object Josuke strikes to his liking. As a result, he can restore objects to their original states, or modify it to give it the shape he wants. However, he cannot use this ability on himself, nor can he resurrect the dead.
4. Jonathan Joestar
Jonathan Joestar is the first JoJo and appears for the first time in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part. 1 Phantom Blood and Part. 2 Stardust Crusaders released for the first time in Japan in 1987.
Jonathan is the main hero of this JoJo Part. 1 and is considered by the fans like one of the best JoJo. Nicknamed "JoJo" by those close to him because of the first two syllables of his name and surname, a logic that will be perpetuated throughout the work of Hirohiko Araki.
Jonathan Joestar is the son of a rich English lord named George Joestar and a mother who died in a car accident that George survived with the help of a thief named Dario Brando. After Dario's death, George decides to adopt his son, Dio Brando, and raise him in his own home.
Unfortunately for him, Dio has inherited a narcissistic personality disorder and wants only one thing, to become the sole heir to the Joestar fortune. Although JoJo seeks to be friends with him, Dio only does him harm by stealing all his friends for example or by throwing his faithful dog, Danny, into an incinerator. (Not cool Dio...).
In this complicated situation, Jonathan finally finds comfort with a young girl named Erina Pendleton, that he falls in love with. However, Dio, who is obsessed with JoJo's unhappiness, decides to ruin his happiness once again by stealing Erina's first kiss. After that, feeling ashamed, Erina becomes unable to look JoJo in the eyes, driving him crazy with grief.
Later, Dio discovers a mysterious Aztec stone mask that reacts automatically as soon as blood is spilled on it and George Joestar falls seriously ill. Following this tragedy, JoJo discovers in a letter that Dario had died of the same illness, and infers that Dio used poison on George to try to kill him and recover their fortune.
The rest of the season will make us discover that the mask found by Dio is in fact an ancient relic capable of transforming his owner in Vampire which will lead to the famous fight JoJo vs Dio in episode 8 of Phantom Blood and to Dio's "death".
3. Giorno Giovanna
Giorno Giovanna is the fifth JoJo and appears for the first time in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part. 5 Golden Wind released for the first time in Japan in 1995.
Giorno is the son of Dio Brando conceived with the body of Jonathan Joestar. His goal is to join the Passione gang in order to climb its hiercharchy and take control of it to put an end to drug trafficking.
Having been created with the body of a descendant of the Joestar family, Giorno is a stand user and masters Gold Experience, a powerful stand that allows him to create life from inanimate objects and turn an attack against his assailant when he attacks them.
Moreover, when in contact with a person, Gold Experience can disrupt the reflexes of his enemies to take advantage of them, heal individuals and also detect the vital signs of a living being.
His stand will evolve later in the series into "Gold Experience Requiem" which will allow him to be able to cancel any action of an individual, such as his attacks or his Stands. Finally, when someone is hit by GER, he falls into a death loop that is impossible to get out of.
2. Joseph Joestar
Joseph Joestar is the second JoJo and appears for the first time in the second story arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Battle Tendency released for the first time in Japan in 1997.
Joseph Joestar is the grandson of Jonathan Joestar and the son of George Joestar II, an aviator in the English army assassinated by one of his superiors on behalf of Dio Brando. He is raised by his grandmother, Erina Joestar and Speedwagon.
Since his childhood, Joseph has developed a rude and rebellious attitude towards his very gentlemanly English grandfather. Dispute this line of character, he has a noble heart and proves it when he claims to have given his wallet to Smokey Brown, a young thief, to save him from being beaten by police officers in New York (just as his great-grandfather, Lord Joestar, did in favor of Dario Brando).
Like his grandfather, he is also a stand user and masters the Hermit Purple stand which, although very weak physically, allows him to possess powerful divination abilities, allowing him to divine future events and materialize any type of information, such as images, locations or even thoughts.
Although he is the protagonist of his own arc, Joseph's popularity allowed him to be considered as the best Joestar for a long time and to reappear in Stardust Crusaders and Diamond Is Unbreakable alongside Jôtarô Kûjô and Jôsuke Higashikata.
1. Jôtarô Kûjô
Jôtarô Kûjô is the third JoJo and appears for the first time as the main character of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part. 3 Stardust Crusaders released for the first time in Japan in 1989.
Jotaro is a 17-year-old high school student who lives with his mother, Holy Joestar, and Joseph Joestar, his grandfather. Despite the fact that he is a taciturn and rebellious boy, Jotaro shows a big heart and an unfailing sense of justice. However, his various acts of rebellion will often lead him to prison.
While locked in a cell, his grandfather finds Jotaro in a state of trance as if he were possessed by a spirit. It is then that Jotaro learns that he possesses a Stand, a psychic double represented in the form of an astral body that all the descendants of the Joestar lineage possess.
However, the new appearance of his Stand also means bad news. Dio Brando, the hereditary enemy of the Joestar family, has awakened from the dead and is the reason for the awakening of all the stands of the Joestar family.
Jotaro therefore has a stand, Star Platinum, a humanoid with a violent personality, but with very powerful hand-to-hand combat capabilities. He will later master the ability to stop time, the famous Time Stop, which will allow him to become even more fearsome in combat.
Unfortunately for her, Holy has a soul far too kind to support her stand and falls seriously ill. So Jotaro has no choice but to go to Egypt to kill DIO and annihilate the vampire army for good who have the order to slaughter the last survivors of the Joestar lineage. He will be helped in his quest by other secondary characters such as Polnareff, Iggy or Mohammed Avdol, a fortune teller from Cairo.
All this will lead him to confront several enemies, until the final boss, Dio Brando, calling himself DIO at the moment. The fight Jotaro vs Dio in episode 46 of Stardust Crusaders is one of the most popular episodes of the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and remains a reference in terms of achievement and perfectionism.

Kenya Film Classification Board boss Dr. Ezekiel Mutua has with an immediate eefect banned the "Takataka" song bt Alvin who is commonly known by the name Alvindo.
The song has so far had over a million views and was really doing well on youtube with many youths dancing to the tune.
"The song Takataka is characterised by crude language that objectifies women and glorifies hurting them as normal reaction to rejection of overtures by men," he said at a press conference held at the Board offices in Nairobi Today.
He also noted with great concern that the song was never submitted to the board for classification in the first place.
"Moving forward, the song should not be performed live or broadcasted anywhere within the Republic of Kenya. No Dj should play the song either on a broadcast station or in any entertainment," read part of the statement.
The board noted that there have been too many spousal deaths in the recent past and such kind of music and content has encouraged this kind of violence. Mutua pleaded with media houses to have a partnership with Kenyans and to block such music from their own judgment.
"Some of the artistes sing such music to sound controversial and gain following upon which they make money," he noted saying this is a growing culture of demonic influence.
As a result, Alvin has been summoned by the Board and given a two-week ultimatum to appear before the board failure to which legal action will be taken against him.The artiste will also risk revoking of his membership in any of the three Content Management Organizations (CMOs) including the Music Copyright Society of Kenya, Kenya Association of Music producers and Performing Rights Society of Kenya.
If you have not listened to the song here is a glimpse of it before it is taken down.

Following the Berlin conference (1884-85) where Africa was partitioned among colonial powers and the consequential acquisition of the lower Niger from French forces, a charter was granted to the NAC giving it the protection of the royal forces.

According to the office of the Chief Electoral Officer here, the FIR was lodged at Barasoi police station of Katihar district on the basis of a complaint lodged by the Election Commission's flying squad.
SHO Barasoi Chandra Prakash confirmed this.
"We have registered an FIR against Sidhu under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 123 (III) and 125 of the Indian Penal Code. Sub-inspector Javed Ahmed has been made the investigating officer," SHO Barasoi Chandra Prakash told PTI over phone.
Sidhu made the controversial remarks at a public meeting on Monday in Kathihar. He was canvassing for Congress candidate and former Union minister Tariq Anwar.
Excerpts of the speech telecast by news channels showed the cricketer-turned-politician urging Muslims to realise that they have a sizeable population in the area and to be wary of Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM, that he dubbed as a party "propped up by the BJP".
Sidhu asked the Muslim electorate to "vote en bloc" for the Congress candidate.
"Modi will be done for. He will go for a six," the Congress leader was seen telling the audience.
His remarks came on the day when the ECI issued notices to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, BSP supremo Mayawati and Samajwadi Party heavyweight Azam Khan, barring them from campaigning for different periods of time.
Earlier, a nine-member delegation of the BJP, led by its state unit vice president Devesh Kumar, had visited the CEO's office here and submitted a memorandum with the request to take "suo motu cognizance and lodge an FIR" against Sidhu.
Sidhu, who has also featured in a number of television comedy shows, was with the BJP till 2016. He joined the Congress ahead of the 2017 Assembly polls in Punjab and was inducted into the state cabinet headed by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.

10th Anniversary Concert in Memory of Composer Edward Cohen

Eran Egozy and Rane Moore, clarinet;
Charles Dimmick
and Heidi Braun-Hill, violin; Noriko Herndon, viola; Miriam Bolkosky, cello; Sarah Bob, piano; Aaron Trant, percussion.
About Edward Cohen
Edward Cohen (1940-2002), a classically trained musician inspired by jazz and devoted to new music, was greatly respected and loved as a colleague and teacher at MIT. When he passed away after teaching for 25 years in MIT's music section, his colleagues decided to honor Cohen by setting up a memorial fund to finance a new series of concerts at MIT, each of which would showcase at least one of Cohen's compositions.
Cohen was inspired by jazz and improvisation, and loved new music. His compositions included solo, chamber and orchestral works as well as two operas. Boston Globe music critic Richard Buell wrote about his music at his sixtieth birthday concert: "Forgive the stereotype, but university professors aren't supposed to compose music like this. The piano quartet was a continuation of Shostakovich's music; the piano sonata, a big-scaled vigorous enterprise. What kind of 'voice' is this music? A surprisingly lyric, long-spanned one, striking, obviously 'modern.' And all of it built like a steel trap. Gripping music, beautiful performances, a wonderful concert."
Radius Ensemble
Now in its thirteenth season, Radius has earned rave reviews and a dedicated following by reinvigorating classical music for a new generation. A chamber music ensemble of winds, strings, and piano, Radius performs music from the classical period to the modern era, from beloved masterpieces to undiscovered gems. Its musicians are outstanding professionals inspired by tradition, willing to take risks, and committed to connecting with a diverse group of listeners.

Former director charged with arson after Players Club fire
ByAlan Smith
ajsmith@thekmgroup.co.uk
Published: 00:01, 10 October 2015
A former director of a gentlemen's club in Maidstone has been charged after an arson attack.
Police and firefighters were called to the Players Club in High Street just after 1pm on Saturday.
Officers roped off the lower end of High Street near the Medway Bridge while firefighters dealt with two fires inside – one upstairs and one near the front of the building. Buses were temporarily diverted via Mill Street.
Police at the scene of the arson
James Pemble, a former director of Players (Maidstone) Limited, which was dissolved on September 8, was later arrested by police on a bridge over the M20 near Ashford.
The 42-year-old, of Lucks Lane, Paddock Wood, appeared at Maidstone Magistrates' Court to face five charges. He did not enter any pleas.
Magistrates heard traffic on the M20 was halted while the arrest was made.
Pemble had parked a yellow Mercedes Benz Sprinter van, which the prosecution said he had stolen after pushing out the driver.
As well as arson and robbery charges, he is also accused of making threatening phone calls to his ex-wife, Emma Sexton, who now runs the club, and driving while disqualified and with no insurance.
Players Club in Maidstone high street
No application for bail was made and magistrates ordered that Pemble stay in custody until his trial on Friday, October 23.
A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue said: "We attended a fire and crews used breathing apparatus and hose reels to put it out.
"In terms of firefighting, it was not too challenging and the crews were ready to leave the scene after 45 minutes, but we asked our fire investigation unit to look at the cause of the blaze."
The sign warning of Players closure
High Street was reopened after about two hours.
Police officers and the fire investigation unit remained at the scene throughout the afternoon.
