!Featured, Acorn TV, Amazon Prime Video, British TV, Hulu, Netflix, On Demand, Showtime Anytime, Streaming TV, SVOD, What to Stream 11/10/201704/09/2019 Sean Axmaker
Here's what's new and ready to stream now on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBO Now, Showtime Anytime, FilmStruck, video-on-demand, and other streaming services …
Actor Tom Hardy developed the dark and gritty historical TV series Taboo, a British-American co-production about half-Welsh, half-Native American sailor James Delaney (Hardy) who challenges the British shipping monopoly in 1814, with his father Chip Hardy and writer/filmmaker Steven Knight.
Delaney strides into London after his sojourn in the New World, with tattoos from his travels visible under his beaten top hat and heavy topcoat, and claims the inheritance of the recently-deceased father. He's the wild man in polite society, brooding and dour and dark, and he relishes the affront he represents to the power wielded by the rich and aristocratic. It's a slow-moving story that straddles the upper-echelons of corporate and royal power (Britain's fortunes are helplessly entwined with that of the East India Tea Company) and the grime and mud of street, where Delaney recruits his team in his war against the rich.
Jonathan Pryce, Oona Chaplin, Stephen Graham, Franka Potente, and Michael Kelly co-star, and Mark Gatiss plays the foppish Prince Regent.
For more on the series, read Matt Zoller Seitz at Vulture or Sophie Gilbert at The Atlantic.
The mix of political conspiracy, corporate thriller, and gangster drama played on FX in the U.S. and a second season is slated for 2018.

Baeza se asienta sobre un terreno que ha estado continuamente habitado, al menos desde la Edad del Bronce. Por esta razón, y a pesar de las sucesivas destrucciones sufridas por las construcciones de todos los períodos, la ciudad aún retiene un destacado patrimonio monumental en el que están representadas diversas culturas, períodos y estilos artísticos. En Baeza pueden contemplarse restos de la Edad del Bronce, de la Época Romana, y de la Hispania visigoda, islámica y cristiana. No obstante, el más rico patrimonio monumental conservado corresponde a los diversos estilos artísticos presentes en la Baeza cristiana: desde el tardo-románico y el gótico, al renacentista, manierista, barroco y neoclásico. No en vano en 2003 el casco histórico de la población, con su antigua ciudad intramuros, fue declarado Patrimonio Mundial por la Unesco.

Cerro del Alcázar
Baeza, situada en la cornisa sur de la gran meseta que es La Loma, se asoma al valle del Guadalquivir desde un acantilado que domina un paisaje de cerros infinitos; dicho acantilado, visto desde el llano parece sustentar la catedral como un faro.

La ciudad originaria estaba edificada sobre este cerro y en torno a una ciudadela, hoy desconocida: el celebérrimo alcázar de Baeza, reputado como inexpugnable y dentro del cual se encontraban el castillo-palacio de la autoridad real y la iglesia (luego colegiata) de Santa María del Alcázar. Estas construcciones, lejos de surgir ex novo, fueron una continuación de similares edificaciones de los períodos oretano, cartaginés y romano; restos de los cuales aún pueden contemplarse en el cerro junto a otros de la precedente Edad del Bronce.

Desde esta atalaya entendemos que la ciudad fuera una gran plaza fuerte donde, un día, se remansó la gran epopeya reconquistadora revitalizada por Las Navas de Tolosa. No obstante, a fines del s. XV el alcázar fue derribado por mandato de la reina Isabel la Católica de modo que no siguiera siendo utilizado como defensa con ocasión de las pugnas nobiliarias que enfrentaban por entonces (como en toda Castilla) a los linajes dominantes de la ciudad (Carvajales y Benavides).

Consecuencia del derribo del alcázar, el cerro fue perdiendo pobladores hasta el punto de estar casi despoblado en el s. XVIII y trasladarse por ello la colegiata a la parroquia de San Andrés. También desaparecido el frente sur de la muralla, adyacente al alcázar, el paseo que lo reemplaza es hoy día un mirador excepcional sobre el valle alto del Guadalquivir, y el cerro mismo, un parque arqueológico de primer nivel pendiente de excavaciones más ambiciosas.

Ciudad intramuros
Su centro neurálgico es la Plaza de Santa María establecida en la baja edad media, y hasta el s. XIX, como sede de los poderes que rigen la ciudad: el civil y el religioso; en ella se encuentran hoy:

 La Catedral de la Natividad de Nuestra Señora: edificada sobre la antigua mezquita que (según tradición histórica) había sido construida a su vez sobre un templo visigodo anterior, fue la primera consagrada en Andalucía con ocasión de la reconquista castellana.

 Las Cancillerías góticas o Casas Consistoriales Altas: sede del concejo de la ciudad entre fines del s. XV y el s. XIX, cuando el consistorio municipal traslada su sede al antiguo palacio del corregidor.

 La Fuente de Santa María: situada en el centro de la plaza fue edificada en el año 1564 para marcar la finalización de las obras de traída de aguas a la ciudad.

 El Seminario de San Felipe Neri (1660): tiene fachada de buena sillería, puerta de medio punto, frontón partido y vítores estudiantiles.

Al norte de este conjunto, y junto a la Puerta del Barbudo, se halla la sede de la antigua universidad Santísima Trinidad, otra importante Institución eclesiástica de la Edad Moderna hoy Instituto. El edificio es de estilo manierista (fines del s. XVI) y consta de claustro, en torno al cual se organizan las dependencias universitarias, y una amplia capilla; contando cada uno de estos elemento con portada propia. Destaca, sobre la puerta de acceso al claustro, el medallón labrado con el tema de la Santísima Trinidad. En esa misma fachada pueden verse los escudos del canónigo Fernández de Córdoba (donante del edificio) timbrados con un impropio galero arzobispal.

De las primeras parroquias intramuros han desaparecido por completo la colegiata de Santa María, San Miguel y San Gil; solo permanecen:

 Las Ruinas de la parroquia de San Pedro: iglesia románica de la que sólo se conservan el ábside (parcialmente visible al exterior) y restos considerables de la portada norte (dentro de propiedad particular). Parcelada en viviendas desde el s. XIX, su fábrica ha ido deteriorándose y se han abierto nuevos vanos en el ábside.

 Las Ruinas de la parroquia de San Juan: iglesia tardorrománica de la que sólo se conservan los tres ábsides de la cabecera, el muro del lado del evangelio y los capiteles y basas de sus seis columnas. Recientemente, estos restos han sido consolidados y su acceso abierto al público.

 La Iglesia de Santa Cruz

Esta última se halla en la plaza del mismo nombre frente al Palacio de Jabalquinto, el más destacado de la ciudad intramuros y uno de los emblemas de Baeza. Pero la ciudad intramuros está, además, plagada de rincones con otros palacios y casonas de interés, como la Casa de Avilés (mediados del s. XVI), la Casa de los Galeote (segunda mitad del s. XVI), la Casa de los Ávila (comienzos del s. XVII), la Casa de los Fuentecilla, la Casa de los Canónigos, el Palacio de los Obispos (todos del s. XVIII) o el Palacio Rubín de Ceballos (principios del s. XIX).

Circuito amurallado

El trazado de la muralla históricamente conocida, y de la que aún subsisten importantes elementos, obedece a un diseño islámico del s. XI. No obstante, las edificaciones conservadas responden más bien a reconstrucciones cristianas posteriores.

La Plaza del Pópulo (o de Los Leones) está inmediatamente al norte de la ciudad amurallada y al oeste de El Paseo, organizándose en torno a la Puerta de Jaén, única construcción de la plaza perteneciente a la muralla; las otras edificaciones de la misma han ido añadiéndose en distintas épocas:
 El Arco de Villalar: directamente a continuación de la Puerta de Jaén, fue erigido con ocasión de la visita del rey Carlos I (1526) y conmemora la victoria real en la batalla de Villalar.
 La Casa del Pópulo: edificio plateresco que albergaba la audiencia civil y las escribanías públicas; hoy, oficina de turismo.

 La Fuente de los Leones: manantial natural que la interpretación histórica tradicional postula monumento arqueológico procedente de la antigua ciudad iberorromana de Cástulo, hipótesis que se sustenta en la continuidad histórica deliberadamente mantenida con ocasión del traslado a Baeza de la capitalidad administrativa y episcopal de la desaparecida Cástulo. Según esta interpretación, parejas de felinos y équidos (actuando como surtidores) rodean una figura femenina identificada como Himilce. Más recientemente, se ha propuesto identificar esta fuente como previamente proveniente de un patio del alcázar.

 La Antigua Carnicería (s. XVI): trasladada a su emplazamiento actual en los sesenta del s. XX, estaba originalmente apoyada contra la muralla en la antaño populosa plaza intramuros sita al otro lado de la Puerta de Jaén; hoy cumple las funciones de palacio de justicia del Partido judicial de Baeza.

Al este del conjunto anterior, más allá de El Paseo (plaza cuyo lado sur se antepone a la Puerta del Barbudo) encontramos:
 La Torre de los Aliatares (o de los Altares): denominada así de acuerdo con la tradición que la hace, en tiempos anteriores a la reconquista, posesión del linaje musulmán de ese mismo nombre. Tiene veinticinco metros de altura, con almenas copiadas del Arco de Villalar y ostenta el reloj público de la ciudad.

Hacia el sureste de la anterior hallamos:
 La Puerta de Úbeda: de las principales de la muralla; protegida por su torre albarrana hoy sólo conserva uno de sus arcos, habiendo sido desmantelados los otros dos en el s. XIX.

El Paseo

La actual Plaza de España, situada en el extremo noreste de lo que fue la ciudad amurallada; se conoce como tal la gran plaza edificada sobre la rambla por la que vienen a desaguar las tres colinas sobre las cuales se asienta la urbe. Su fisonomía es porticada, muy castellana. Servía de escenario para los eventos taurinos, fiestas y ajusticiamientos públicos. A partir del s. XIX fue cuando se convirtió en un paseo romántico.

En su lado sur encontramos la mencionada torre de Los Aliatares y La Alhondiga, e inmediatamente tras ella El Pósito. En su cara norte se hallan las Casas Consistoriales Bajas o Balcón del Concejo (s. XVII), lugar desde donde los munícipes presenciaban las corridas de toros celebradas en la plaza. Finalmente, y de este a oeste, también encontramos en las inmediaciones de su lado septentrional:

 La Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción: capilla del antiguo hospital homónimo edificada a principios del s. XVII (el hospital desapareció en el s. XX).

 Convento de San Francisco y Ruinas de la Capilla de los Benavides: sustituyendo un templo gótico construido en el que era tercer solar ocupado en Baeza por la comunidad franciscana, Diego de Valencia Benavides encargó en 1538 a Andrés de Vandelvira la construcción de la cabecera de un nuevo templo conventual, que habría de albergar su capilla funeraria y que acabó siendo la obra maestra de aquel artista y un hito de la arquitectura renacentista española. Lamentablemente el terremoto de Lisboa quebrantó la bóveda cruzada y la invasión napoleónica acabó de arruinar el templo.

 Ayuntamiento de Baeza: magnífico edificio plateresco construido originalmente como Palacio de Justicia y Cárcel del Corregidor.

Arrabales
Fuera de la ciudad amurallada, y en torno a sus respectivas parroquias, se encuentran de este a oeste las siguientes collaciones:

San Pablo
 Parroquia de San Pablo: edificada en estilo gótico a fines del s. XV

Collación nobiliaria por antonomasia, en ella encontramos los palacios de varios linajes: el Palacio de los Salcedo, el Palacio Fortaleza de los Sánchez de Valenzuela, la Casa de los Acuña, la Casa de los Cabrera (todos de principios del s. XVI), la Casa de los Mendoza o la Casa de los Escalante (ambas de la segunda mitad del s. XVI).

San Andrés
 Iglesia de San Andrés

 Convento de Santa María Magdalena (fines del s. XVI) de Agustinas Recoletas: en él recibe culto la imagen de Jesús de la Caída, hito de la estatuaria granadina de fines del s. XVII atribuido al círculo de los Mora. La imagen del Cristo procesiona en la noche del Miércoles Santo, acompañada de la Virgen de Gracia y Esperanza, a los sones de un grupo de hermanos con música de cámara.

 Convento de la Encarnación (s. XVII) de Carmelitas Descalzas: conserva una destacada colección de pinturas y esculturas de tema religioso, destacando su retablo barroco.

El Salvador
 Parroquia de El Salvador: edificada en el s. XIII en estilo gótico-mudéjar

 Hospital de San Anton: probablemente fundado en el primer cuarto de s. XVI; su iglesia fue demolida a finales del s. XIX, quedando solo el edificio hospitalario. Hoy alberga el archivo histórico y la biblioteca municipales.

No obstante haber sido una collación habitada mayormente por pecheros (caso también de la vecina collación de la desaparecida parroquia de San Vicente) también hay en ella algunas casonas de calidad como la Casa de los Morales, del s. XVII, y la Casa de los Galeote, del s. XVIII.

El Ejido
Alrededor de este espacio se localizaban los conventos de la Trinidad Calzada y La Victoria (Orden de los Mínimos), desaparecidos en el s. XIX a la vez que la ermita de La Madre de Dios y la parroquia de San Marcos. Aún subsisten:
 El Convento de San Antonio (Clarisas): de donde procede el rico artesonado polícromo renacentista que decora el salón de sesiones del actual ayuntamiento.
 La Capilla de San Ignacio: construcción protobarroca (principios del s. XVII) que sobrevive a la desaparición del extenso colegio jesuítico del que formaba parte.
 La Casa de los Vela de Almazán (s. XIX)

Más allá de la ciudad
Hacienda La Laguna: se sitúa próxima al Puente del Obispo, a unos ocho km al sur de Baeza, teniendo anexo el paraje de Laguna Grande, conjunto industrial olivarero declarado Bien de Interés Cultural (categoría Monumento). El conjunto fue construido por el ingeniero polaco Tomasz Franciszek Bartmański y hoy alberga el Museo de la Cultura del Olivo.

Castillo de Jarafe: Bien de interés cultural desde 1985. En la ribera del río Torres, se conservan los restos de una antigua fortaleza rural, lugar concedido por Alfonso X en 1269 a los treinta y tres caballeros pobladores del alcázar de Baeza. El entorno abunda en yacimientos iberorromanos a pie de monte.

Puente de Mazuecos: Conocido como la Puente Nueva, sobre el Guadalquivir,  se trata de una magnífica obra de ingeniería de Andrés de Vandelvira. Tras una gran riada sufrió una desacertada recomposición a principios del siglo XX.

Santuario de La Yedra:  La actual fábrica es del siglo XVI. Su nombre completo es el Santuario mariano de Nuestra Señora del Rosel y del Santo Cristo de la Yedra.

The Thursday Murder Club, by Richard Osman
Viking, 2020
I genuinely hope there is another book after this one, since I really enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club. Obviously I'm a reader who is much more into the dark/bleak side of crime, but sometimes I just feel this need to go light for a change, a sort of palate cleanser/brain relaxer if you will. The trick is in finding just the right book without falling deep into cozyland or cutesyville, neither of which I like. I bought this book because my spouse and I are huge Richard Osman fans after watching way too many British TV quiz shows, and I figured that this book had to be good because he is so witty and snarky funny. I made a good decision here: the mystery is rather slow burning, without the usual pileup of clues that would normally titillate my inner armchair detective, but here it's much more about the cast of characters that make up the Thursday Murder Club, as well as the members of the police department they've sort of co-opted into the group. Prepare to giggle, but keep a tissue by your side.
The Thursday Murder Club is a group of four friends who meet every Thursday in the Jigsaw Room at Coopers Chase Retirement Village ("You can't move here until you're over sixty-five"). It had originally been started by retired Kent Police inspector Penny Gray and the mysterious Elizabeth; sadly, Penny now lays dying in the Village's nursing home, Willows. When she'd left the police force, she'd brought with her a number of files of unsolved murder cases, and she and Elizabeth would pore over them, looking for anything that may have been missed. Two other members soon came along, Ibrahim and Ron, and with Penny out, Joyce has stepped in to become the fourth. They continue to go over old cases from Penny's files, but they up their game with a real murder that hits close to home. It seems that the builder of Coopers Chase has been bludgeoned to death, and that the killer has left behind only a photograph. Elizabeth wants to investigate the murder, but the problem is that they "have no access to any case files, witness statements, any forensics." What they do have, though, is PC Donna De Freitas, who gives lectures at Coopers Chase, and who would rather be out solving this murder instead of bringing teas to the officers working on it in the incident room. Elizabeth finagles her way into visiting PC De Freitas at the local station, where she asks Donna point blank if she wouldn't rather be "part of it." There's nothing Donna would like more, and the group members manipulate things so that Inspector Chris Hudson puts her on the team, making it easier for the Thursday Murder Club to know what's going on as the case progresses and to provide information they think worthy of turning over -- when they're ready. When a second murder hits, the Thursday Murder Club moves into even higher gear.
The book is related from two perpectives. First, there's Joyce's diary, where she not only talks about what's happening with the group, but also through her writing provides insight into the members' histories including her own. She also offers glimpses here and there of what living in this community is like, and through her, the author has written compassionately about these older people and how they cope with aging or finding themselves alone without family or widowed. Her diaries produce alternating bouts of giggles and sadness that wells up without warning, When we're not reading Joyce's diary entries, the story is related in a standard style, incorporating other characters and moving the mystery and its solution forward. There's always more than a tinge of humor to be found here, and the ending allows the reader to consider the true nature of justice, which isn't always as black and white as one might believe.
The dustjacket blurber has absolutely nailed it, saying that
"Richard Osman has employed all of his considerable wit and intelligence to give us just the curl-up-and-read novel we need right now."
This book was, as the blurber stated, "pure enjoyment," and a "flat-out pleasure of a book," precisely what the doctor ordered during our strange present time. I also agree with author Val McDermid's blurb when she says that The Thursday Murder Club is a "warm, wise, and witty warning never to underestimate the elderly." Sadly not only are senior citizens too often underestimated, but ignored as well. And even though this book isn't my usual sort of reading material, it was such a pleasure to have read this novel: it is truly the "curl-up-and-read novel we need right now" that the description promises.
Absolutely delightful. To Richard Osman: Thank you so very much and let's have another!!

We build brands and brands have a lot of components. Some are tangible and obvious: the logo, the website, the brochure. Some, though, are a little harder to grasp, and almost none are as difficult as the mission statement.
Mission statements are what I would call a "soft" deliverable. They're internally focused, meaning they won't be directly used to court and convert customers. They're abstract, usually centered around values and aspirations than any concrete efforts. They're not something you can use; they're something you live.
It's a fair question, but it can be difficult to answer. Mission statements are malleable little pieces of text – you can use them almost any way you choose. There are four basic uses of a mission statement that usually come to mind, however.
When it comes to digital marketing, I've found that many people want to do one of two things: try to do every digital marketing strategy at once or exist in a state of analysis paralysis. Guess what? Both of these methods result in poor results. There's an overwhelming amount of possibilities for your brand when it comes to digital marketing and it can be tempting to throw yourself in quickly, but it's so crucial to craft an intentioned strategy before doing anything at all.
Why Are Bad Commercials So Good?
Good advertising cuts through the noise and makes a point. 99% of the time, bad advertising does that better. If the goal of advertising is to get people to remember your message, then it often seems like the best course of action is to either for your advertisement to be staggeringly great or absurdly terrible. The latter is much easier to pull off.
Think of all the terrible local commercials you've seen in your life. They're usually for a car dealership or a lawyer. They pop up between glossy national commercials, immediately noticeable for their grainy images, bad acting and endless repetition of poorly sung jingles.
Chances are you remember at least a handful of these commercials. Past that, you've probably discussed them with friends, family and new acquaintances as a way to break the ice. These "bad" advertisements often become a part of our cultural fabric, remembered and referenced fondly and often, if only in mockery.
There's something to be said for the staying power of these cultural artifacts. I asked the LUMINUS team to name some of their (least) favorites.
Nameberry.com is a website totally devoted to the art of naming babies. There's an entire active forum where parents who can't decide on a name can interact with "Nameberries" who will help you brainstorm potential names for your newborn.
The Nameberries are awesome and seem to be very helpful. The names they pitch are sometimes a bit too unique for the people who are asking (Atlas, Story and Anthem are all great names but can seem a little mythic for a newborn), but they're almost always interesting and help folks to narrow down what they really like and what they really want.
The whole process reminds me of naming a product. Babies are much more important than products, of course, but you're still confronted with similar dilemmas.
You want a name that you love.
You want a name that's unique.
You want a name that truly fits what you're naming.
The problem with all of these problems is that they're impossible to solve, at least right away.
I ask new clients one simple question when I'm trying to figure out how to help them.
I know that the magical Beyonce cafe is too good to be true, but the scenario isn't. How many times have you gone to a specific hair salon because you've seen the Instagram of one of their stylists? People are finding businesses online and, more than ever, they want to know about the products they are purchasing, down to the nitty-gritty details.
They want to know that their dollars are supporting businesses that align with their lifestyle. Even deeper than the history and breakdown of the product, they want to know about you and your team. Your employees are no longer just employees, they are an integral part of your brand and the professional development of your employees should be a huge focus of your business.
If you're thinking "this doesn't apply to my industry", you're probably wrong. From restaurants to boutiques to tattoo shops, customers are interested in the staff that makes your business successful.
I had a dream last night that I was driving.
I had a dream last night that I was driving, but I didn't have any hands.
I had a dream last night that I was driving, but I didn't have any hands. My wife was in labor in the backseat. I steered with my teeth, weaving in and out of traffic, making it to the hospital just in time.
The first story is boring. The second story is weird. The third story is weird, but at least it's a story, and that's because it has conflict.
You passed middle school English class. You know that all stories are supposed to have conflict in order to qualify as stories.
Similarly, brands need some level of conflict in order to rise above the level of mere commodities and become something that people can actually care about. While storytelling and conflict can take a variety of forms within a brand, the most common way to introduce interesting, loyalty-breeding conflict into your brand is by creating an enemy.
But why would you want to harsh things up like that? Isn't there a better way?
The good news is that no matter how nice you are and how good your brand is for you, your customers and the universe, you can absolutely find an enemy that you can define yourself against.
What Does Pokémon Go Have to Do with Marketing?
If you're wondering why there's a sudden resurgence in your colleague's interest in Pokémon this week, you're probably the only one who hasn't heard about Pokémon Go. Pokémon Go is an augmented reality app for iPhone and Android devices, released this week. Essentially, you open up the app and it combines the nostalgic world of Pokémon with our very own, leading us to wander around the world with our phones in front of our faces looking for the little creatures.
But this isn't the only augmented reality people are using: from Google Glass to educational apps like Star Walk, augmented reality has been on the rise for several years.
Besides looking really cool while using it (see below), what does this mean for marketers?

Memphis' Top Universities: Christian Brothers University | Memphis Smoke and Vape Shop
Christian Brothers University
650 E Pkwy S, Memphis, TN 38104
The Christian Brothers University, in Memphis , Tennessee, is a private Catholic institution. The university is run by the Brothers De La Salle, a Roman Catholic religious order established by the teachers' patron saint St. John Baptist de la Salle. It is the oldest institution awarding college degrees in the region.
Christian Brothers College was founded by members of the Christian Brothers De La Salle on 19 November 1871. After more than a decade of attempts to convince the Brothers to open a college there, the Brothers came to Memphis at the behest of the citizens and the town clergy.
The Christian Brothers University took its roots from St. John Baptist de la Salle, the French priest and educational innovator. De la Salle has launched a network of Christian schools where teachers assist parents in their children's schooling, ethical, and religious development. In order to fulfill his spiritual and pedagogical dream, de la Salle founded the Institute of Christian School Brothers, today known as the Christian Brothers De La Salle.
Christian Brothers College officially became Christian Brothers University in June 1990.
Christian Brothers College was established in 1871, after more than a decade of attempts to convince the Brothers to establish a college in Memphis.
The first President was named Brother Maurelian. His 3 presidential terms totalled 31 years. The Brothers bought the 612 Adams Street building during his presidency which housed the college until 1940, when the college relocated to its present location on Central Avenue and East Parkway South.
Functioning as a combined primary school, middle school (now Christian Brothers High School), and college, Christian Brothers College awarded high school diplomas as well as Bachelor's and Master's Degrees until 1915, when the college division was discontinued. Elementary classes were discontinued in 1922, and the college served for 18 years as a pure high school. The college, reopened as a junior college in 1940, began in 1942 to award Associate's Degrees.
Oldest degree-granting institution in Memphis
In 1875, Christian Brothers received the city's first post-secondary degree. LeMoyne College (one of the two constituent sections of LeMoyne-Owen College today) has a founding year of 1871, but at the time it was an elementary and secondary school. The city's largest university, Memphis University, was founded only in 1912. Though Rhodes College was established in 1848, it did not move to Memphis from Clarksville, Tennessee until 1925.
Lasallian Tradition
The Christian Brothers University traces its roots to St. John Baptist de la Salle, priest and educational innovator. De la Salle has launched a network of Christian schools where teachers assist parents in their children's schooling, ethical, and religious development. In order to continue his spiritual and pedagogical dream, de la Salle founded the Institute of Christian School Brothers, today known as the Christian Brothers De La Salle.
The university now has an acting lay president following former president Brother Vincent Malham 's tragic car crash in 2008.
In 1953, the decision was made to transform the community college into a four year university in order to better meet the community's needs. The four year program began with degrees in Business Administration and Electrical Engineering, with the first students earning their degrees in 1955 in recent times.
The curriculum was quickly extended to meet the needs for new mechanical engineering and chemistry programs. Biology, Civil Engineering , Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemical Engineering, History , Psychology, Natural Science, Engineering Physics , Computer Science, and Religion and Philosophy were later applied to the following degree programmes. In 1969 teacher training services were extended to secondary education. In 1978, an accelerated evening program offering a degree in Business Administration was added to meet the adult student's needs, and the Degree of Clinical Psychology was introduced in 1999. CBU launched its Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts in Fall 2007.
Graduate-level programs with the Master's degree in Telecommunications and Information Technology were revived in 1987. In 1989 the Master of Business Administration was added as well as the Master of Engineering Management. In 1997, a Bachelor in Education was added, offering a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Master of Science in Educational Leadership starting in 2001. In 2005 there was added the Master of Arts in Executive Leadership.
Christian Brothers University became co educational in 1970 when another Catholic institution in Memphis (the all-female Siena Institution) closed. Students actually make up around 55 percent of the student body. In June 1990 Christian Brothers College formally became the Christian Brothers University.

QHow do you view the political trend after the recent outburst by President Maithripala Sirisena?
For a long period, we, along with other groups and organizers, pointed out that the Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) has been a body set up in contravention of the law of the country. We said for a long time that the Bribery Commission is used deliberately for the witch-hunt of political opponents. After much time, the President, the Head of State, has come to realize the veracity of what we said.
Be that as it may, there is a fault that lies in this instance. The President, as the Head of State, should be in a position to correct any shortcoming in governance as and when he notices it, instead of lamenting. If President Sirisena feels that these two bodies are steered with narrow political interests, he should step in to correct them. Rather than addressing the matter at hand, his mere lamenting would not serve the intended purpose. All in all, we said right throughout that the governance is in the hands of the Prime Minister, not in the hands of the President. It is proven along with the President's outburst. The President is indirectly referring to the Prime Minister with an accusing finger. Today, these bodies, driven according to a political agenda, might have turned up even against those with the President. That might have prompted him to lash out in this manner.
However, the President responded in a similar manner when the VAT Bill was introduced. He vowed to thwart any measure that would burden the general public. But, the VAT Bill has been evolved with provisions for unprecedented burden on people. As a result, we can go by what he does, not by what he says.
In the real sense of words, this is a mass web of confusion (Andee Hath Denage Kenda Heliya Wage). The President has one taste of things and the Prime Minister another. The Ministers are cocooned in their own. It is a politically volatile situation. It can explode politically at any moment even over a minor issue. The government is fragile in the aftermath of this outburst.
Q How will it impact the stability of the government?
Prior to the Presidential Election, we said governance would be caught in a mass web of confusion in the event of President Sirisena's victory. It has become a reality today. In the real sense of words, this is a mass web of confusion (Andee Hath Denage Kenda Heliya Wage). The President has one taste of things and the Prime Minister another. The Ministers are cocooned in their own. It is a politically volatile situation. It can explode politically at any moment even over a minor issue. The government is fragile in the aftermath of this outburst.
Some assumed that there would be a flood of foreign investments once a government led by the United National Party (UNP) was installed. They thought businesses would flourish. Instead, investors withdrew a colossal amount of money invested here and left the country. The rupee value dropped drastically. The economy has been on a downward spiral in terms of all indicators. It shows the government has no solution to the issues confronting the country. There is only squabbling within the government, and the situation has taken a turn for the worse as was obvious in the latest incident.
It is not the JO forming the new party. Such a party is to be formed by the SLFP. Once it is formed, it would team up with the other parties in the JO to forge a new political alliance. We would face the next election under that alliance. I cannot make statements. But I know it is progressing well.
QThere is a perception that the President threw this political bombshell as a ploy to cover up the Night club incident allegedly involving his son. What do you feel?
If someone comes to that conclusion, one cannot find fault with it. Actually, there was no proper space generated for any debate in the public domain on the incident. The media crew were blocked from capturing the scenes of the incident. The injured person was barred from voicing to the media. People were barred the access to reach truthful information. So one might think these remarks were made for the distraction of public attention from the incident.
I do not think that way, because the public outburst opened the door for a novel crisis to emerge. The night club incident could be covered. But, the door is open for other crises. For the whole world, it has become apparent that the President and the Prime Minister are in conflict with each other. If it were done to cover up the night club incident, it would be even foolhardy.
QIn your opinion, how will it end up?
The latter part of this year and the early part of the next year will be decisive periods. We should not air out certain interpretations right now. An internal explosion of the government could be visible within the next few months.
President Sirisena, though unwillingly or not, might be forced to take certain decisions due to his politically helpless situation. The background for a change of government is in the making through parliamentary process.
Today, we find quite a number of UNP MPs distraught with the present government. Likewise, the SLFP MPs hold similar views in the government. They wait for the opportune moment. We never know when that moment arises.
QHow does the Joint Opposition, which you represent brace for it?
We can manage the whole scenario in the best interests of the country. We act in this regard even now. While engaging the general public against the government, we work on managing internal fissures for our end at one point.
Q How do you manage the situation?
If I cite examples here, I may have to disclose some names. It took a long time for internal fissures of the last government to emerge. Yet, we already see cracks within the current ruling structure. The arrogant attitude of the Prime Minister is a reason for the internal split. In the public domain, people do not have a positive attitude towards the government. People see more and more negative outlook of the government. Normally, a government gets both positive and negative responses. This government receives only negative responses. As a result of this, the Government politicians are left in a precarious situation. They know how the government has been demeaned in the public eye. Numerous government MPs are in touch with our MPs. They exchange views with each other. They would act decisively at one point.
Q Do you believe this would pave the way for the President and his erstwhile colleague, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa to patch up differences and unite politically?
We cannot rule out such a possibility totally. Also, we cannot accept the possibility. In politics, there are no permanent friends or foes. Individuals have to take decisions in politics as warranted by the circumstances. As such, this eventuality could also arise. I do not mean by saying this that the President acts with such an approach in mind at the moment. In politics, individuals are again compelled to take decisions even unwillingly. We do not rule out such a possibility. However, we do not undertake our political path targeting it.
QOn previous occasions, you said there were international forces at work behind this government. How do you expect them to remain silent leaving room for any split in the government?
Even now, foreign intelligence services are at work. Yet, the intelligence services cannot manipulate and determine everything in this country beyond a certain point. There are possible and impossible factors. They are unable to offer solutions to fissures within the government. It is the responsibility of the government leaders to iron them out. Yet, the government leaders are obliged to do what they committed to the international segments and the Tamil Diaspora. For example, a Constitution-making process has been undertaken. That is to please the sections of the international community and the Diaspora. When steps are taken in their favour, there are others in the country displeased with the process. If any war crimes tribunal is set up, the government will face displeasure even from within.
The government has to appease those forces that helped in its installation on January 8, 2015 while facing displeasure from some of its own members. It would result in the widening of present cracks. Therefore, a split is inevitable at one point.
Q How is the process of forming a new party?
QWhat is the role of the NFF, which you represent in this case?
Since our days in the JVP, we took the position that our motherland should be resurrected from the imperialist agenda which tried to direct its course. We took to the streets against the Ceasefire Agreement on that stand. We worked for the defeat of the UNP regime because of that. Also on that basis, we worked to ensure victory for then President Mahinda Rajapaksa in 2005. The JVP has abdicated its responsibility in this regard. But, we pursue our policies in the greater interests of the country from a different front.
It is our fervent hope as the National Freedom Front to direct the policies of the proposed new front according to a nationalist agenda. The current government acts according to the interests of alien forces. That is the reason for them to replace the Prevention of Terrorism Act. It is not in the national interests. It is in the interests of Diaspora groups.
Q Such policies alienated the minorities from the previous rule. It caused the defeat of that rule to a certain extent. What is the plan to win them back?
We cannot deceive Tamil and Muslim people merely for gaining votes. For the sake of securing votes, we cannot give into extremists' demands either. If we accept such demands for electoral gains, we would have to implement them upon return to power. Then, the country will be in jeopardy. We cannot become part of such a national crime. If the ETCA is signed, Sri Lanka would end up being an Indian colony virtually. Moderate Tamils and Muslims are realizing this. If jobs are lost due to ETCA, it would affect not only Sinhala employees but also employees from other communities. Indian fishermen loot the northern seas. It is not something favourable to northern fishermen.
Encroachment of Sri Lanka's territorial waters happens on a large scale today. Northern farmers do not get fertilizer subsidy. When the economy collapses, the businesses of Muslims also get affected. One day, the circumstances would prevail upon the minority communities to embrace nationalist politics.

NHS England and the UK Space Agency will partner to discover new health innovations
The UK Space Agency will invest up to £4 million into finding hi-tech solutions to major health and care challenges that the NHS is facing in its 70th anniversary year, under a joint initiative with NHS England.
Approximately four applications will receive cash from the Agency to transform technology originally designed for use in space into medical applications that improve NHS treatment and care.
Innovations are being sought to improve management of long-term conditions, secure earlier diagnosis of cancer, transform GP and other primary care services, and better meet mental needs.
Although this isn't the first time space tech has been adapted for NHS use, with previous examples including:
pill camera that can be swallowed by patients,
dementia tracking slippers,
breast screening vans that beam images back to assessment centres,
wearable monitors to help prevent falls among the elderly and apps that help prevent skin cancer
"Britain's world-leading space sector continues to grow and support vital public services like the NHS with innovative applications," said Emily Gravestock, UK Space Agency head of applications.
"We encourage all businesses and public bodies to consider the role that satellite data can play in tackling some of the biggest challenges we face, as part of the government's Industrial Strategy."

Eviction hearings postponed in Pima County until early May
April 14, 2020 6:48 pm Eric Fink Coronavirus Coverage, Local News, Top Stories
TUCSON - Despite an Arizona Supreme Court ruling delaying eviction hearings until April 20 due to COVID-19, hundreds of hearings were on the docket in Pima County this week.
On Tuesday morning, Pima County postponed more than 350 eviction hearings until the week of May 4.
In an executive order signed last month, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey postponed all evictions due to an inability to pay rent because of COVID-19 until the end of July.
Marchetta Sponaas, a Tucson renter, had no idea her hearing was postponed until she showed up for court Tuesday morning.
"My life has been tested here because I had to come down here to begin with," Sponaas said.
Sponaas has been sidelined from her job as a medical assistant because she has asthma and COPD.
Sponaas told News 4 Tucson she desperately misses being at work on the front lines.
It's even more tough, she said, dealing with a possible eviction.
"I'm in fear that if I go out there, I can't even work right now, my job grounded me," she said.
Sponaas continued, "Because of my underlying health issues, I can't go out and be in the medical field like I've wanted to all my life."
"I've got a battle going on within myself and now I'm here," she said.
Attorney Abby Okrent, with the National Lawyers Guild, has been helping renters navigate through this uncertain time.
Okrent said holding eviction hearings during the pandemic sends the wrong message.
"When everybody's focus is staying at home, staying safe, not getting sick, not getting other people sick," Okrent argued. "It's very egregious that we're still moving forward with eviction hearings rather than trying to figure out how to keep people in their homes and keep people safe."

Les Aventures du Roi Pausole (titolo in lingua tedesca: König Pausole) è un film del 1932 diretto da Alexis Granowsky.

Pellicola di produzione franco-austriaca tratta dal romanzo di Pierre Louÿs, Les aventures du roi Pausole del 1901.

Trama
Il simpatico e pacifico re Pausole regna su una terra di fantasia denominata Trypheme. Questa si trova su un'isola lontana da tutto e non segnata su alcuna carta geografica. Il simpatico monarca è la gentilezza personificata e possiede un superbo harem di 365 mogli, in modo che possa avere ogni giorno una nuova regina, un nuovo volto intorno a lui … quando gli pare. Della libertà godono anche gli altri cittadini di Trypheme, non al contrario le regine. Esse sono quindi veramente sfortunate, per dover essere fedeli solo a un uomo, il loro felice monarca. Il dispotico cancelliere Taxis e la supergovernante Perchuque vigilano severamente, affinché questa forzata pudicizia venga rigorosamente osservata.

La bella Diane, che oggi dovrà essere la "regina per un giorno", si sforza, come prima già le precedenti regine, ostinate con Pausole, di spezzargli un dente. Il grasso re si angoscia per una sola preoccupazione, quella sulla sua figlioletta Aline. Lei, benché ormai diciottenne, si è innamorata follemente del bel pilota sportivo Giglio, che è atterrato con il suo velivolo sulla spiaggia dell'isoletta riservata alle regine. Entrare in questo harem è ovviamente assolutamente vietato e così Giglio viene "rinchiuso" nella prigione del paese, che è così libera e così amichevole come tutto a Trypheme: nessun muro, nessuna grata per una piscina all'interno della corte. Pausole invita lo spavaldo giovanotto a festeggiare per l'occasione il compleanno della figlia Aline. La quale cerca di spiegare chiaramente al padre di essere innamorata di Giglio. Ma lei non gli viene concessa. Perciò Aline, insieme alla sua migliore amica Mirabelle, fugge attraverso il diventato stretto muro del palazzo. Lei sta già per tornare a casa, quando Giglio la trattiene. Pausole si mette subito alla ricerca della figlia, volendo trovare anche Giglio. Ma la ricerca è piuttosto faticosa per il corpulento re ed egli lascia Giglio da solo a indagare, mentre lui rimane indietro con la sua regina del giorno, Diana, e progressivamente incomincia ad abituarsi al pensiero, di tenere per sempre questa donna con sé. Intanto le 364 rimanenti mogli dell'harem, "regine per un giorno" tentano una rivolta di palazzo. Esse sono tutte stufe della tutela e guinzaglio di Taxis e Perchuque. Anche Pausole, al ritorno a casa dal viaggio di ricerca, incomincia a rendersi conto che 365 donne per un solo uomo sono troppe. Esiliato quindi Taxis, egli vuole solo Diana e nessun'altra. E poiché Aline e Giglio si sono trovati, egli non ha più bisogno di preoccuparsi per il suo erede.

Il film fu girato da settembre fino alla fine di novembre 1932 a Vienna nel Tobis-Sascha-Atelier e infine (metà dicembre 1932) negli Studios di Billancourt a Parigi. Gli esterni sono stati girati ad Antibes nel Mediterraneo.

I produttori austriaci avevano condiviso le attese di poter ottenere con questo film, con Emil Jannings come protagonista, un successo di cassa in Germania. Poco dopo aver girato il film, i nazisti presero il potere a Berlino. Le nuove autorità preposte alla censura ne rifiutarono la proiezione (soprattutto per motivi morali) nel Reich, così il film ebbe la sua première in lingua tedesca il 30 agosto 1933 verso le 21 e 15 nel Wiener Löwe-Kino di Vienna, alla presenza di Emil Jannings. La distribuzione nelle sale ebbe inizio il giorno successivo. In Francia la distribuzione nelle sale del film ebbe inizio il 15 dicembre 1933.

Le realizzazioni furono gestite da Pierre Schildknecht e Marcel Vertès.
Jannings recitò anche nella versione per il pubblico di lingua inglese dal titolo The Merry Monarch, mentre il suo ruolo nella versione originale francese fu interpretato da André Berley. Nessuna delle tre versioni ebbe un gran successo, né di pubblico né di critica.

Colonna sonora
Nel corso del film vengono cantate due canzoni:
 Hörst Du, wie leise der Nachtwind rauscht? (Senti come soffia lieve il vento della notte?)
 Von Dir hab' ich geträumt (Ho sognato di te)
che furono edite dalla Dacapo-Verlag di Vienna.

Hi all! Recently I was working on a few projects to build solar system simulations on web browsers, and I found that WebGL is indeed more powerfull than what I had ever imagined. It provides a similar API to modern OpenGL, and with the help of three.js, things are as easy as pie.
Here's my most recent demo, EarthVR. The Virtual Reality Earth on a web browser of your smart phone with realistic rendering (however mixed up with dirty hacks ) and support of gamepad control. The coding stuff wasn't that hard, and it's amazing to find out that you can use a joystick to interact with the browser. WebVR polyfill makes it possible to work with the new WebVR spec without a special browser build. We simply need a Google Cardboard to enjoy the Virtual Reality experience everywhere.
Here to take a look at the WebVR demo.
Looks like it's possible to have Celestia go full Web. A cross-platform, out-of-box WebApp can be fascinating.
I did explore converting Celestia to WebGL a while back, got as far as getting the renderer to run under OpenGL ES 2.0, which was already a substantial piece of work due to the age of the Celestia code (an awful lot of it uses immediate mode graphics). Even once I got the OpenGL ES 2.0 code to run, I was still using some legacy calls that are not supported in WebGL, so there would still have been a lot more work to be done!

Baker Island (U.S. Minor Outlying Islands)

ISO Code: UM-81
ISO 3166-3 Code: PUUM
FIPS 10-4 Code: FQ
MARC Code: up
IOC Code: Not Applicable
Status: unincorporated territory of the United States
From the CIA World Factbook:
Baker Island - 1.4 sq. km., uninhabited; treeless, sparse, and scattered vegetation consisting of grasses, prostrate vines, and low growing shrubs; primarily a nesting, roosting, and foraging habitat for seabirds, shorebirds, and marine wildlife. American civilians evacuated in 1942 after Japanese air and naval attacks during World War II; occupied by US military during World War II, but abandoned after the war; public entry is by special-use permit only and generally restricted to scientists and educators; a cemetery and cemetery ruins are located near the middle of the west coast. Unincorporated territory of the US, administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service of the US Department of the Interior as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Jarig Bakker, 29 January 2000
And from Pacific Magazine (January/February 2000):
Baker island was reportedly first sighted in 1825 by Captain Starbuck in the ship Lopez, named New Nantucket (and also as Phoebe). It was in 1832 that a Captain Baker, after whom the island is now named, also came to the island aboard the whaler Gideon Howard. In 1855, guano from the island was tested, and in 1856 the United States passed the Guano Act, which allowed the United States to claim islands occupied by Americans (and some unoccupied islands were also claimed). The guano on Baker was used not for fertilizer, but rather for the phosphorus on matchsticks (at least during the US excavation years). From 1858 until 1870, guano was extracted by the American Guano Company and its subsidiary, Phoenix Guano Company. The workers were carried to the island by schooner from Honolulu. During this period several tramways were built from the center of the island to the waterfront, as well as a 400 foot wharf later destroyed by gales. Also during this time, two Chinese sailors in a crew of 9 whose junk was blown off-course were rescued at Baker Island. From 1886 to 1891, J. T. Arundel, a mining and copra plantation operation, ran the diggings at Baker Island, bringing in 100 workers from Niue and the Cook Islands. In 1934, the US rights were reaffirmed by the visit of the USS Astoria to Baker Island. In 1935, Pan American Airways explored the Pacific Islands for possible refueling and stopover points for their Pacific service (which was a seaplane-based service). The expedition was aboard the Kinkajou and led by Francis Coman (who was with Admiral Byrd in Antarctica at one time). Baker was deemed inappropriate for a stopover. In 1935, the U.S. attempted to colonize Baker Island with four Hawaiian natives, who built a small community named "Meyerton." They were evacuated in 1942 due to the possibility of Japanese invasion. From September 1943 to May 1944, the island was used as a support area for the American war effort, where 120 officers and 1,200 enlisted personnel built an airstrip. Remaining from that time is the overgrown airstrip and a building which housed Army Post Office 457. After the war, a LORAN station was briefly on the island. Today, the island is a wildlife refuge and there is an unmanned navigational beacon on the island. The island receives only about 25 inches of rain per year. The water table has been polluted from the wind leaching the guano into the water sources.

Victoria's story - oral motor therapy experience
We have been back in Australia for two months now, after travelling to America for a form of therapy to help Victoria learn to chew, use her mouth more and to strengthen the muscles in her mouth which aids in speech development.
Victoria is 7 years old, classed as non verbal, struggled to chew food items, she would mush them in her mouth with her tongue, drool a lot and only had very few words.
The therapy we fundraised for is called oral motor therapy and we traveled to Maitland, Florida to Ms Debra Beckman at Beckman and Associates. We set a date that we wanted to go by, set a goal for the cost and started fundraising. It took us 8 months to raise $28,000 to help pay for the therapy trip, we started therapy on the 1st December 2014 at 8:30am.
Jason, Victoria and I arrived to the therapy, started chatting with Ms Debra about our goals, where Victoria was and what we could do to help get things happening for her. Ms Debra showed us the exercises, we worked through some speech therapy and we went on our way, we did the therapy for 3 weeks, 2 hours a day. We did the exercises, got Victoria used to the therapy tools and tried our best not to be skeptical about the exercises we were shown. By day 3, we saw the changes in Victoria, the first one was her bottom lip was out, looking like a real lip and her words she did have were so much clearer. By the end of the 3 weeks, Victoria had so much more confidence, she wanted to talk to you more and say things she never would try before hand.
Since returning to Melbourne, Victoria can now say so many different words, being clearer with them, doesn't drool as much, her lip is out most of the time and she can chew food that she could never chew before. We continue every single day with the therapy exercises, 3 times a day, we know this is a long process and Victoria won't just talk from the 3 weeks of therapy.
Traveling to see Ms Debra has given us the tools to help Victoria to start this new journey, we feel for us and Victoria it was the right thing to do and we are very glad we did it and so grateful to everyone who helped us raise the funds to help pay for it, as well as grateful to Ms Debra who has given us hope that Victoria will talk and she will be able to eat the same food as us.

Often taken for granted, the monotonous task of brushing and flossing our teeth daily has never been more important in order to avoid gum disease and the risks gum disease place on our overall health. It has been estimated that 75% of Americans have some form of gum disease, which has been linked to serious health complications and causes various dental problems that are often avoidable.
Diabetes – People with diabetes often have some form of gum disease, likely caused by high blood glucose, according to the CDC. People with diabetes need to take extra care to ensure proper brushing and flossing techniques are used to prevent the advancement of the gum disease. Regular check-ups and cleanings with your dental hygienist should be followed.
Preterm Birth – Babies that are born premature — before 37 weeks of gestation — may face numerous health complications. Research indicates that women with periodontal disease are three to five times more likely to have a baby born preterm compared to women without any form of gum disease. Women are more susceptible to gingivitis when pregnant and should follow their regular brushing habits, and continue with dental cleanings and examinations.

He has also confirmed a live UK show this autumn
American guitarist Bill Frisell has signed to the world famous Blue Note Record label for his new album titled 'Harmony', due for release this Autumn. It's the first time the 68 year old has released a solo record with Blue Note, although he's been associated with the label for decades, having played with Charles Lloyd, Norah Jones, Ron Carter and many more.
He says it's an opportunity to reflect on the music he's been playing for so many years: "It's wild, at this point in my life, thinking back all the way to high school and all these strands of things coming together," Frisell reflects. "And here I am now—I have an album coming out on Blue Note. Is it possible that I could be part of all this?"
Bill has also announced a UK live show - he's playing London's Cadogan Hall on Tuesday 15th October.

Time tracking. Ugh. Why were so many billable hours lost due to bad tools, systems and routines? Why did I have to wade through my outgoing emails, SaaS-activity logs, calendars, and so on to find those "missing" hours at the end of the week? How many hours can that "Internal work" task hold, really?
In a typical day, perhaps you work on a few tasks in Basecamp or Trello, then send a few emails. A meeting pops up. You write some code that goes on Github, or scribble on an Evernote.
GotDone gathers this and so much more, so you can quickly log time based on what you've done, directly to the time tracker you already use.

A: try this
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("com.sureclean.versionioo", "com.sureclean.versionioo.MainMenu");
            startActivity(intent);

i encounter the same problem and this code works

New Stephan Mathieu & Sylvain Chauveau LP
Laurie Tuffrey , September 3rd, 2012 00:06
Smog lyrics backed by Farfisa organ, French horn and zither instrumentals on new album Palimpsest; listen to 'Soaking The Pages In Tea' below
German sound artist Stephan Mathieu and French electronics man Sylvain Chauveau have collaborated on a new album, Palimpsest (artwork above, by Caro Mikalef), out now digitally and on September 21 on limited edition vinyl via Schwebung, which sets Bill Callahan's lyrics to instrumental soundscapes.
Mathieu, who has recently been working with Main frontman Robert Hampson on a new album, recorded the music initially. Then, rather than the planned piano and guitar, Chauveau added lyrics by Callahan to the mix. In that light, it seems likely that the album is titled after the opening track of Smog's A River Ain't Too Much To Love. Palimpsest also features work by Jeff Witscher, aka Rene Hell.
Mathieu says: "Sylvain and I started discussing an instrumental album when we met for the first time in 2009. During 2010 I made recordings for this project, using the instruments I'm having in the house – a piano, spinet, Farfisa organ, zither, french horn, cymbals, as well as recordings of a viol quartet I had written in 2008. This material was arranged and reprocessed then, resulting in my usual abstract soundscapes. To my surprise, once Sylvain heard the tracks he came up with the proposal to add lyrics of some of Bill Callahan's classic Smog songs instead of further instrumental voices.
"I'm still amazed by how he had heard this potential in the pieces, how he placed Bill's lyrics there, especially since my original material is used for the album as is, without further changes or editing. It is exciting for me to hear my sound in this context, the way how things suddenly start to fall into place. Instead of being classic cover versions, Palimpsest is much more rooted in the tradition of the exquisite corpse."

Just What Is the Alternative Vote System?
Next May there is a nationwide Referendum on changing the way we vote. Most people have little idea of how this voting system differs from the one we use at present which is called First-Past-The-Post.
The Alternative Vote (AV) is very much like First-Past-the-Post (FPTP). Like FPTP, it is used to elect representatives for single-member constituencies, except that rather than simply marking one solitary 'X' on the ballot paper, the voter has the chance to rank the candidates on offer. The voter thus puts a '1' by their first-preference candidate and can continue, if they wish, to put a '2' by their second-preference and so on, until they don't care any more or they run out of names. In some AV elections, such as most Australian elections, electors are required to rank all candidates.
If a candidate receives a majority of first-preference votes (more people put them as number one than all the rest combined), then they are elected. If no candidate gains a majority on first preferences, then the second-preference votes of the candidate who finished last on the first count are redistributed. This process is repeated until someone gets over 50 per cent.
All MPs would have the support of a majority of their constituents. Following the 2010 election two-thirds of MPs lacked majority support, the highest figure in British political history.
It more accurately reflects public opinion of extremist parties, who are unlikely to gain many second-preference votes.
Coalition governments are no more likely to arise under AV than under First-Past-the-Post.
It encourages candidates to chase second- and third-preferences, which lessens the need for negative campaigning (one doesn't want to alienate the supporters of another candidate whose second preferences one wants) and rewards broad-church policies.
The AV system is supported by the Liberal Democrats and the Electoral Reform Society. It sounds complicated but actually it's very easy.
