ON ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY, Star Ocean is at a crossroad in its history. It's been more than five years since the release of the last entry in the series, and the franchise hasn't gained the traction that other titles have. With latest chapter, producer Shuichi Kobayashi sees an opportunity to reboot the sci-fi Japanese role-playing game.
With Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness coming out on the PlayStation 4, the team aims to advance the genre by blending action elements, tactics from massive multiplayer online games and story-driven gameplay. The amalgam of ideas accomplishes a goal for the developer tri-Ace.
"We did want to make the game accessible for newcomers to the Star Ocean franchise," Kobayashi said.

Roosevelt prepares for tight, hard-fought game in 3A state football finals

Lane Wasinger and his title-hungry Roosevelt football team are plenty confident.
They're far from naive.
So even though the unbeaten, top-seeded Rough Riders have outscored opponents an average of 41-11 points per game this season — including an average of 40-8 in three playoff games — Roosevelt isn't necessarily counting on another wire-to-wire onslaught when it faces third-seeded Lutheran in the Class 3A title game at 1 p.m. Saturday at CSU-Pueblo's Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl.
"We've been in some tight ball games — we've been tied, we've been down at half, we've been a great second-half team, and a great fourth-quarter team, all year," said Wasinger, the Rough Riders' sixth-year head coach. "Our kids are up for the test of a title game. Our kids will have to respond to adversity well. There's going to be a lot of ups and downs."
The Rough Riders (13-0) are playing in their fourth title game in program history and are in pursuit of their first state football title in school history.
Lutheran (11-2) is making its first title game appearance.

Roosevelt — for all intents and purposes — figures to be the favorite Saturday. Then again, the same could be said for the last time the Rough Riders were in a title game, in 2020.
Just like this season, Roosevelt was undefeated and was the top seed in the 3A playoffs before falling in the finals to Durango, 21-14, on Dec. 5, 2020, on the CSU-Pueblo campus.
Though he and his huge roster of 111 players are no doubt happy to be back in a title game for the second time in three seasons, Wasinger said his team is well aware of how precious and rare of an opportunity playing in a title game is.
The Rough Riders were just narrowly denied a repeat trip to the finals a year ago when they were upset by Mead in the semifinals.
"They're excited for their opportunity and their 'time,'" Wasinger said of his driven players. "When you play in a state championship game, like we did two years ago, you never know when you're going to get back. It's so rare. We've been fortunate with great players and some pretty good seasons to help raise the bar."

Where Do They Go Now?
By Matt Perry • Mar 27, 2012
As a child, Lyudmia Shnaydman survived the horrors of World War II, though she lost her entire family. As an older adult she suffers from no fewer than four serious, chronic health problems. Now the state of California is giving her nightmares.
Next week, the state has told Shnaydman, she will lose her access to adult day health care under tighter eligibility rules adopted last year.
While she suffers from a litany of health problems including hypertension, scoliosis, arthrititis and thoracic spine pain, these pale in comparison to the mix of terror, insomnia and depression that consume her once more.
Only six years old when World War II reached into her Ukrainian village, German planes bombed and strafed her home town, killing her entire family of Jewish parents, grandparents, sisters and aunts.
Three days a week Shnaydman now attends Altamedix ADHC in Sacramento along with over 200 other clients from the former Soviet Union, where she is examined by nurses, receives physical therapy, eats three times daily, sings songs, and converses with friends.
"After this letter I stay home and I cry a lot because if I miss this facility I don't know what happens to me," says Shnaydman, 76. "I will stay home all seven days. Every day I will stay home."
Shnaydman has now unplugged her TV set, stopped calling friends, and remains inside.
Shnaydman is just one casualty of a budget rollercoaster that last year eliminated the entire Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) program of 35,000 clients, only to see it resurrected after a lawsuit as the new, smaller Community Based Adult Services (CBAS).
After a one-month delay, CBAS is slated to begin in April with 20-30% fewer clients than its predecessor. A lawsuit filed this week could delay the transition and save Shnaydman's benefits for now. If that fails, Shnaydman, like many denied approval into the new program, is appealing the decision with the help of the center.
Hoping for a positive judicial ruling, Altamedix will continue serving the recent widow, says Altamedix program director Sergey Ionov.
Across the state, denied participants, their families, and providers are scrambling to find alternatives or prepare appeals, unsure what they will do with the disabled and elderly clients who depend on adult day health as a cornerstone to their care – and is a welcome respite for exhausted families.
One ADHC executive summarized the past year.
"Horrendous confusion and stress that this whole process has put the participants through," says Judy Canterbury, an administrator at three of California's over 250 centers.
Supporters say the centers are the best and most cost-effective ways of handling this vulnerable population.
Medi-Cal pays providers $76.27 a day for each client, half of which is reimbursed by the federal government. Nursing homes typically cost four to five times that amount.
"We really are the hub of their medical care," says Dawn Myers Purkey, program manager for Yolo Adult Day Health Center in Woodland.
Squeezed by budget woes, however, state officials targeted the program for cutbacks, anticipating that only half of existing participants would qualify for the new program. Denials targeted clients attending for socialization or treatment they could get more cheaply elsewhere.
Assessments based on "medical necessity" by nurses from Medi-Cal, which administers the program, have since boosted that figure to an estimated 70-80%.
Denied clients receive case managers who try to find them alternatives to adult day health.
But this has raised the ire of many providers who say that in most counties, proper alternatives simply don't exist.
In Contra Costa County, Laura Gaston (not her real name) cares for her 73 year-old mother who had a stroke 15 years ago. The elderly woman still suffers from seizures, falls, and poor short-term memory. She wears two braces – one leg and one arm – and spends most of her time in a wheelchair.
After her mother's denial, Gaston received a brochure and phone call from Contra Costa Health Plan detailing other options.
One was the Brentwood Senior Citizens Club, which offers social activities like dancing, pinochle, and stretching classes.
"She couldn't go to the senior citizen place," says Gaston. "It just wouldn't work. I'd have to stay there with her."
The recreation supervisor for the city of Brentwood, which operates the Senior Citizens Club, says no one from Contra Costa Health Plan contacted her about transitioning adult day health club patients there.
"The seniors that come to our senior center need to be able to go to the restroom on their own," says Olivia Alvarez. "(Seniors) are buzzing in and out of the center to participate in activities."
Last spring, Mendocino county's only ADCH closed its doors, folding some of its services into the Ukiah Senior Center, which still offers a Lunch Bunch program that provides social activities and minor medical oversight for $25 a day.
"The ones we could no longer support ended up in (skilled nursing), which is really sad," says Marilyn DeFrange, general operations manager for the senior center. DeFrange estimates that half of the 25 former ADHC participants are now in institutions.
While some former clients still attend the senior center, many remain shut-ins.
"They wind up staying home and being alone, sitting around twiddling their thumbs, being depressed, and perhaps not eating," says DeFrange.
A year ago the Sierra LifeNet Adult Day Health Center in Tuolumne County also shut its doors. Client Sue Barnett recalls the final words of the facility's director.
"We have no more money. Tomorrow's the last day," sighs Burnett. "It sort of hit everybody like a bombshell."
After the closure, Barnett watched several of her friends decline and move into skilled nursing – which she called a local growth industry.
"They were adding on to their rest homes because they knew they were probably going to be having new customers," says Barnett.
At 58 years old, she stays at home, lives on just $830 a month and clearly misses her friends from the center.
"I had a reason to get up in the morning," Barnett recalls.
While most clients are appealing their denials, clients of Bakersfield's ElderLife Adult Day Health Care may not bother. Last month they received shocking news that Kern County was shutting the center's doors completely at the end of March, leaving 51 clients and their families angry, confused, and clambering for options.
Johnny Elijah has been a client at ElderLife for the past 17 years.
Thirty years ago, while putting on his work boots outside in the early morning light, Elijah was cracked in the skull with a metal object and left for dead.
After 10 years of skilled nursing, and three more in assisted living which often left him soaked in his own urine, Elijah used his laminated spell-a-word board to ask his family "Take me home."
Lee Perry and his wife have taken care of Elijah, his half-brother, since the day Perry retired.
What will Perry do next?
"I haven't had a whole lot of time to think about it," says Perry, 73.
While there is another adult day health facility across town, it caters to the developmentally disabled – fast-paced, sometimes frantic clients dangerous to the weak and fragile.
Perry reflects on the conundrum in a slow drawl, wishing there were easy options to allow him a break from the 24-hour cycle of care, which included going out to breakfast with his wife.
"That's going to stop because we have to be here with him," says Perry. "It's going to be rough on us I know."

Meghan McCain Shares How Husband's Faith Has Drawn Her Closer to God: 'I Need God to Guide Me'

Meghan McCain, one-fifth of ABC's The View, opened up recently to conservative personality Ben Shapiro about her husband's faith and how his Christian convictions have steadied her during a season of intense loss.
"I need God to guide me a little bit right now," she admitted to Shapiro.
RELATED CONTENT: Lamar Odom Gives His Life to Christ After Years of Drug Abuse, Strippers and Sexual Escapades
In August 2018, the political commentator's father, the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), passed away at 81-years-old after a lengthy battle against glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. Just shy of one year later, in July of this year, the 35-year-old co-host announced she and her husband Ben Domenech, editor and co-founder of The Federalist, suffered a miscarriage.
It was in the midst of that great loss McCain knew she married the right man.
"I believe in God for a lot of different reasons, but Ben was 100 percent the right man for me through my life, right now, and the amount of tragedy I've had to go through," McCain said, "because he's just steady as a rock and he believes in God's plan and he just always reminds me that we aren't in control, He is."
"I really do think God brought him to me for a reason," she added.
Shapiro went on to ask McCain how, exactly, she would define her own faith. The political daughter said she grew up Baptist (Domenech is Anglican) and still attends church when she isn't traveling. Most often, though, McCain said she feels God's presence in nature.

During a recent trip to Wyoming with her husband, McCain said she woke up one early morning, pleading with God to give her a sign He was there for her. Later that day, she and Domenech went on a fishing trip, where they encountered a moose—something their guide said had never happened in his several years out on the water. That was the sign McCain prayed for.
"That's the most obvious example of why I am a woman of faith," she said. "I know it's not always that simple, but there are reminders if you're looking for them."
While she reiterated the fact she's always been "religious," being married to Domenech, whom she said "can quote Scripture off the top of his head," has deepened her faith in God.
"When my dad was originally diagnosed," McCain recalled, "the first thing Ben did was, he was like, 'We have to pray together now.' He has been such an amazing influence on me in so many different ways. And my relationship with God, Ben has definitely helped strengthen."


Easter is right around the corner! Celebrate this year with these healthy, easy and time saving recipes so you can enjoy the company of family and friends. On the list for brunch is Salmon with a Lemon and Dill sauce, Garlic Dill Quinoa, Steamed Cauliflower and Rainbow Carrots, Purple Sweet Potato Salad and Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding Trifle. Healthy Nutrition on Quinoa, Purple Sweet Potatoes and Chia Seeds Chia Seeds are a complete source of protein. They are very rich in omega-3 fatty acids and don't deteriorate over time making it easy for them to be stored for long periods without becoming rancid. Chia seeds provide fiber (25 grams give you 6.9 grams of fiber) as well as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, molybdenum, niacin, and zinc.
Quinoa is rich in precious dietary fiber which most Westerners are chronically deficient in. Dietary fiber is essential to keeping the digestive tract clean and healthy while naturally lowering blood pressure and helping fight cancers. Quinoa provides us with antioxidants to help bolster the immune system and fight off the early signs of aging, in addition to being rich in vitamins A, E and the amino acids lysine and methionine. Quinoa is high in protein, and the protein it contains is complete, which means it includes all nine essential amino acids. 100 grams serving of quinoa has less than half the fat of a similar serving of lean beef, but offers a higher quality, cleaner burning protein than any animal tissue.
Purple potato is rich in the antioxidant anthocyanin which gives it the deep blue or purple color. You can also find the same antioxidant in other flavonoid foods such as blueberries and pomegranates. It is most well-known for its immunity boosting and cancer fighting properties. This deeply pigmented antioxidant has shown great promise in protecting the integrity and structure of DNA and encouraging the production of cytokines which are vital to proper immune response. It also shows impressive anti-inflammatory properties, helps to protect the health and integrity of the capillaries and strengthen membranes, and may have a role in regulating estrogenic activity which can help lower the risk of age related diseases.
Directions Sauce – whisk together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Salmon - Heat coconut oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper and add to the skillet, skin side up and cover with a lid. Cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn the fish and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes on the other side, cover with a lid (this will help steam the fish at the same time). Remove fish from skillet, top the salmon with the dill sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Directions: Quinoa – rinse and drain quinoa. Add 1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. The quinoa will look transparent when done and have opened. In a large nonstick skillet add the 1 Tbsp of coconut oil on medium low heat and sauté the chopped garlic and onion for 2-3 minutes. Season with two pinches of salt and ½ tsp of pepper. Turn heat to low and add the bell pepper, quinoa, lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss together and serve with the salmon. Enjoy!
Directions Pour the vegetable broth in the steamer. Turn on to warm up broth or if using a stove top steamer pot turn on to medium heat. Cut most of the stem from the cauliflower leaving some of the leaves intact. Place cauliflower in the steamer and steam for 12-15 minutes. Place cauliflower on a plate to cool. Cut the leafy stems off the carrots (and save for later) leaving a small amount. Then place the bunch of carrots in the steamer and steam for 6 minutes. Carrots will have a slight crunch. Place carrots on a plate to cool. Once cooled slice the carrots length wise exposing the beautiful center. Use the leafy stems as a garnish/décor to place the cauliflower and carrots on. Top with the Tessemae's Lemon Garlic Dressing. Enjoy! *You keep the vibrant color and nutrients of the vegetables by not steaming them all the way.
Directions In a large nonstick skillet add the coconut oil on medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes in an even layer and place a lid on the skillet. Turn heat to medium low and let the potatoes steam and cook for 10-15 minutes. If not soft in the center after 10 minutes check on them until you can poke a fork through them. Once done put on a plate to cool. Toss the rest of the salad ingredients in a large serving bowl leaving the dressing on the side. Place the cooled potatoes on top of the salad and season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
Directions Mix the chia seeds and almond milk in a medium bowl. Place in the refrigerator and let the chia seeds activate into a gel like consistency for 2 hours. Follow the directions on the package for the pudding, I used 2 cups of almond milk. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Once the chia seeds are ready take all of the ingredients out of the refrigerator and remix the pudding to a smooth consistency. Use any kind of small clear drinking glasses for the trifle. Place 2 Tbsp of the chocolate pudding on the bottom, then 2 Tbsp of the chia seeds, then 2 Tbsp of chocolate pudding. Top with a large dollop of coconut whip cream. Finish with a sprinkle of the pomegranates. Enjoy! *SO Delicious Coco Whip comes frozen. Put in the refrigerator immediately to thaw out.

Flooding leaves thousands without food and shelter in world's largest refugee camp
Floods in Cox's Bazaar in Bangladesh Photo credit: Concern Worldwide
Press release28 July 2021
Exceptionally heavy monsoon rains in Bangladesh have led to flooding and landslides in Cox's Bazar, home to almost a million Rohingya refugees.
Eight people were killed – five from one family – and thousands more have had their homes washed away or flooded, while communal latrines are unusable and clean water is unavailable. Home gardens which allow households to grow their own food have also been destroyed.
International humanitarian organisation Concern Worldwide is planning to provide emergency food items such as rice cakes, sugar, bread and bottled water, along with hygiene and health kits and non-food items, as requested by local authorities in response to the floods.
We are currently assessing the needs of those affected and will respond, but additional funds are needed to effectively support people.
Fiona McLysaght - Concern's Country Director in Bangladesh
"The rains are ongoing and prolonged, and the level of damage is expected to increase over the coming days. People affected by fires in March are now severely impacted by flooding."
The disruption comes at a time when people were beginning to rebuild their homes and lives after a large fire in the camp forced 50,000 of them to flee their shelters earlier this year.
The floods also heighten the risk of water-borne diseases, which along with Covid-19, is yet another threat to the health of the Rohingya refugees living in the camp.
Bangladesh registered the highest number of new coronavirus cases and deaths within a single day on Monday. A two-week lockdown was imposed by the government last Friday, with people urged to stay indoors at all times.
"The most severe rains to hit Cox's Bazar in years have resulted in disastrous flooding that has overwhelmed the Rohingya refugees and some of the poorest communities in Bangladesh," said Ms McLysaght.
"Despite the constraints, Concern is continuing with its life-saving nutrition programme for malnourished children and pregnant women in the refugee camps."

Shipping containers transformed into health centre saves lives
Last year, Concern built a new life-saving health clinic using old shipping containers in just three months in one of the hottest and poorest parts of the world; Chad.
Exciting trends in gender equality and the women behind them
As we enter 2022 and the world continues to progress in all areas of science, technology, and creativity, moving towards a fairer world remains a priority. Women are driving ideas and innovation forwards to serve other women and inspire an equal world.
Afghanistan: what is the situation on the ground right now?
Concern Worldwide's Head of Emergency Operations Ros O'Sullivan has just returned from five weeks in Afghanistan. We spoke to him about what the situation is really like on the ground in a country where there is an escalating humanitarian crisis.


This paper explores the process improvement approaches of organisations. It seeks to identify process redesign principles and the combinations of these principles that are used successfully in industry. We use Q-methodology to explore the viewpoints of a range of highly-experienced process experts about the success of 16 improvement practices. Q-methodology enables the examination of the similarities and differences in the success of the improvement principles used by organisations in order to inform archetypes of process improvement. Overall, our findings suggest that process improvement is determined through the application of two foundational principles combined with one of four archetypes. 'Remove non-value-adding tasks' and 're-sequence tasks' are described as foundational principles of process improvement, whilst outsourcing needs to be approached with caution. Furthermore, we articulate four distinctive archetypes comprising unique configurations of improvement principles that can be used to redesign operational processes. Based on this evidence we propose a typology of process improvement. This work suggests that rather than adopting generic improvement frameworks, managers should consult the typology to determine the archetype in closest proximity to their specific requirements. This study has several limitations including the small number of items populating the concourse and the fact that implementation problems are not taken into account.

Megan Betz new leader of Mother Hubbard's Cupboard
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last of a three-story series about food insecurity issues in Monroe County.
Earlier this month, Megan Betz took over as CEO and president of Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, a Monroe County food pantry that was founded in 1998 by two young mothers.
Betz took the reins from outgoing director Amanda Nickey, who had spent almost 12 years in the position. Nickey said that during her tenure, her attitude about food and a food pantry's role in the community evolved.
Final days of one director
Last month, Nickey talked about how classes at the Hub changed. At first, the classes were taught by someone at the pantry or elsewhere who was there to instruct people who use the pantry. That slowly evolved so the programs offered were sharing the knowledge of all participants, including the clients, many of whom have expertise to share with others.
"Everybody learns something and has something to share," Nickey said, adding that Mother Hubbard's Cupboard is a space where people can come together around food, whether that's baking bread or learning how to better use compost in gardens. Including everyone's expertise shows all participants are valued and respected, something highlighted at the Hub.
Part 1:Hoosier Hills Food Bank's efforts help food insecure in 6 Indiana counties
Sustaining those connections became more difficult when the pandemic began, since people are picking up food while in their vehicles instead of shopping for items inside the pantry.
"We've created a community space that people feel safe in and want to come to," Nickey said. "We have to rebuild that after COVID."
But that role isn't for Nickey, who is taking a break from work to spend time with her family. Last month, Nickey shared, "The Hub has been like the needier third child."
Even so, Nickey and the food pantry's board were careful in their search for her replacement, seeking to find a person who fit within the mindset of The Hub and its clients.
"The thing I feel best about is ensuring we are an organization that lives according to our values," Nickey said.
Part 2:More than 25 locations in Monroe County offer food to people in need
That direction is determined by both the successes and failures of the food pantry, Nickey believes, adding that the agency's mission statement is where to begin. The statement is: "Mother Hubbard's Cupboard works to increase access to healthy food in ways that cultivate dignity, self-sufficiency and community."
"The mission statement can get lost over the years in any organization," she said, adding that is the basis for the decisions and "all that we do."
Moving that mission statement into the future is what Betz plans to do, while realizing she has "very, very big shoes to fill."
Betz just received a doctorate degree in geography from Indiana University during its winter commencement on Dec. 18. Her studies centered on local food, with research at the Bloomington Community Orchard.
For the past two years Betz has helped establish the People's Cooperative Market, one of Bloomington's farmers' markets that works toward intersectional anti-racism while creating a space for food justice work and other collaborations. She also has worked at Community Kitchen of Monroe County and took and later taught gardening classes at the Hub.
Adapting during COVID:Mother Hubbard's Cupboard adapts to survive the pandemic
Betz views herself as an advocate for anti-racism in the local food system. She believes that the values at Mother Hubbard's Cupboard reflect her own: putting people first, treating them with dignity and ensuring they receive the food that's appropriate for them.
Betz believes it's inappropriate for her to say what the vision for Mother Hubbard's Cupboard should be in the future. Instead, she believes that vision must come from the patrons and community.
For now, she's busy getting to know the staff, volunteers and patrons while she's figuring out how to begin possibly offering local programming again. On a recent Monday, Betz was busy determining what days the food pantry could open for drive-thru patrons as the number of COVID cases in the community were on the rise once again.
While she hopes to put her knowledge of research methodology to work at the Hub, she realizes that may take some time to achieve. Right now she has other things to consider and solve.
"The Hub hasn't looked like the Hub for almost two years," she said. "The team has been in survival mode for almost two years."
Short-term goals include "holding space" and figuring how to move toward reopening, possibly in new ways. Changes are inevitable, because of the ongoing pandemic.
"There's not going to be a day when we wake up and say, 'Oh, it's OK to ... We're finding what still works and what doesn't work along the way."

On the 13th of November participants from 29 different countries and 150 delegates met at the Ambition 1.5oC: Global Shipping's Action Plan summit in Bonn.
"Be courageous about your thinking, rise to the challenge of solving this problem, be bold and try to change the world just a little bit", said the key note speaker Dr. Jennifer Baxter when opening the summit.
Climate change and future regulations on carbon emissions provide a need to be looking at alternative fuels and different options in propulsion, in order to meet the demands of the future, and protect the environment.
Gavin Allwright, secretary of The International Windship Association took part in the summit, and participated in panel discussions.
"I am incredibly optimistic in the development of alternative fuels going forward. Wind is a significant way to reduce the amount of bunkering fuel that we need to," he says.
You can see Gavin Allwright, IWSA, present the purpose of the summit in this video below.

The Advertising and Integrated juries of the ADC 98th Annual Awards come together last week to help select the Cube winners for the multi-faceted campaigns of the Integrated discipline. It's here that BBDO NY creative director and ADC Advertising judge Carolyn Davis was drawn to "You Make, We Transfer", a collaboration between California-based Stink Studios and WeTransfer.
"There are many ways to transfer your files, but this is probably the only one that does it in a way that is empathetic to the creative industry," Carolyn says of the campaign, which included everything from murals to magazine ads, from pre-roll animations to content partnerships. This helped make it a shoo-in as her ADC 98th Annual Awards judging pick of the day.

The Alphabet Song: Not Enough Swearing
Jef Rouner
Jef Rouner | November 19, 2010 | 8:15am
Fatawesome is a band of incredible bastards who know how to make you laugh and bang your head at the same time. Last time we checked in with them, they had laid down a rap tribute to the Oregon Trail that had us telling people "My Titties is sick," for the rest of the week. Now they've gone and updated that old, static classic, "The Alphabet Song."
We all know it, and it forms a very important part of your childhood, but wouldn't we all be better served by learning our letters and the latitudes of cool at the same time? That's what Fatawesome has done. Your kids will certainly get the heads up on their letters, numbers, and utterances of the word "fuck" over all their lesser peers.
We caught up briefly with the band as they were exiting a bathroom and got a chance to ask them about their new song as they were zipping up.
Rocks Off: What exactly was it about the original alphabet song you hated?
Fatawesome: Not enough swears and almost impossible to dance to.
RO: What effect do you think your version will have on education?
FA: We hope that our efforts will help close the ever-widening gap between schools and dance clubs.
RO: Do you plan to release a version in other languages to reach a wider audience?
FA: We'd love to work with Bjork on an Icelandic version.
RO: What other lessons do you plan on teaching in future songs?
FA: How to use a urinal without pulling your pants down to your ankles.
And with that, they walked into the sunset.

Kate Hunt: Recent Works
MAM is thrilled to share this exhibit of work by one of the West's most important and innovative artists: Kate Hunt. Hunt has mastered transforming an everyday material that is usually used once then discarded into a powerful medium. She uses newspaper to create formally and conceptually strong sculptural works of varied shape, thought-provoking content, and strange beauty.
This exhibition is full of surprises. These recent works are easily recognizable as Hunt's because of her signature method of working with newspaper, for she has long used it as a sculptural medium. These new works, however, include strong formal sensibilities incorporating both the walls and floors. The central work in the exhibition is entitled Floor and incorporates an assembly of more than 30 columns arranged in a repetitive fashion on the floor. The sheer number of pieces in the center of the Carnegie Gallery demands attention. This large sculpture is in reality an installation.
Initially, the viewer brings with them a preconceived notion that newspaper should be recycled and is fragile and disposable. But one of the powerful messages manifested by Hunt in this exhibit is the idea that newspaper is strong, durable, and resists decomposition. There is a sense of discovery in uncovering the human energy and ingenuity in the construction of her work.
There is an influence of minimalism present in Hunt's work. Minimalism, or what some people refer to as reductivism, is an aesthetic where the artist reduces the expression to the bare essential design elements. Her strong formal sensibilities invite us to explore, and the resulting work speaks to the resilience of what we, at one time, perceived as fragile and come to see as tough. While there is no representational narrative in her work, newspaper becomes a sculptural material; paper assembled in a repetitive fashion becomes durable and powerfully expressive, and the layering in her work mimics nature. We instinctively know that where there is sedimentation there is a record.
Hunt is driven by the clarity with which she understands her materials. She is ingenious in marrying skills. She is an artist who brings together the skills of a print shop trimmer, drill press operator, metal fabricator, and construction worker. She paints, draws, and fabricates. She has a very strong drive and direction and knows exactly where she wants to arrive. Included in the exhibition are two drawings of goats, each a companion in her creative journey.
While this might seem incongruous, they are included as part of a way to more completely understand and appreciate the artist, her life, and her life's work where all ideas swirl around in the creative process.
Today Kate Hunt lives and maintains a studio in Creston, MT. She received a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, MI. She has had many solo exhibitions in venues throughout the country, including Portland Art Museum; Nicolaysen Art Museum, Casper, WY; Leedy-Voulkos Art Center, Kansas City, MO; Yellowstone Art Museum, Billings, MT; and in years past MAM. She has been the recipient of a Montana Arts Council Individual Artist Award, and an Adolf and Esther Gottlieb Individual Support Grant. Her work is included in numerous collections, including the Seattle Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, Yellowstone Art Museum, Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, and the Missoula Art Museum.
MAM is grateful to the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, the Art Associates of Missoula, and the Missoulian for their support and sponsorship of this exhibition. This exhibition will serve as the educational base for the Fifth Grade Art Experience.

2019 General Elections
Adityanath claims SP-BSP alliance will have no impact on Uttar Pradesh politics
Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav congratulated Mayawati on the alliance, while a former Samajwadi Party leader called it 'thugbandhan'.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath | IANS
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath on Sunday claimed the alliance between the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party in Uttar Pradesh will have no impact on the politics of the state, PTI reported.
"The alliance means giving power to people who are corrupt, anarchic elements and have casteist mentality," the chief minister said in Lucknow. "It is good that both these parties have come together. It will help us to effectively wipe them off."
The Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party on Saturday announced their tie-up in Uttar Pradesh for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, contesting 38 seats each, and leaving the Congress out of their alliance.
Adityanath said the coalition functioned in the state from 1993 to 1995. "Everyone has seen their style of working," he said. "They sow the seeds of casteism in the state."
On the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, Adityanath said the Bharatiya Janata Party will resolve the matter while staying within the ambit of the Constitution. "If there is anyone, who can resolve the issue, it is the BJP," he said. "Those who had created this problem cannot resolve it."
Rashtriya Janata Dal leader and former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav congratulated Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on the alliance. He met Mayawati in Lucknow and is likely to meet Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav later.
"Lalu ji [Lalu Prasad Yadav] wanted grand alliance in Uttar Pradesh, and Mayawati ji and Akhilesh Yadav to contest election together," Tejashwi Yadav told reporters before meeting Mayawati, reported Hindustan Times.
Tejashwi Yadav alleged there was undeclared emergency in the country and efforts were being made to abolish the reservation system. He also claimed that his father and party chief Lalu Prasad Yadav was in jail because he refused to surrender before Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding that he did not hold any grudge against Modi. "It is a fight for ideology," Tejashwi Yadav added.
Lalu Prasad Yadav was sentenced to jail in multiple fodder scam cases.
Tejashwi Yadav, RJD: There's atmosphere today where they want to scrap Baba Saheb's constitution&implement 'Nagpur laws'...Ppl welcome step taken by Mayawati ji&Akhilesh ji. BJP will be whitewashed in UP&Bihar. They won't win even 1 seat in UP, SP-BSP alliance will win all seats. pic.twitter.com/1yv108MZ63

However, Rashtriya Janata Dal National Vice President Raghuvansh Prasad Singh said excluding Congress from the Samajwadi-Bahujan Samaj Party alliance was not a good sign for future alliances at the national level, PTI reported. "If we [Opposition] have to provide an alternative on national level, then all the forces opposing BJP must unite in order to defeat them," he said.
Former Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Singh Yadav called the alliance "thugbandhan" (alliance of thugs) and alleged that money must have been exchanged before forging the alliance, reported ANI. Yadav has said his newly-formed Pragtisheel Samajwadi Party-Lohia is ready to join hands with the Congress.
"There have been no talks with the Congress yet," Yadav said. "The Congress is a secular party and if it approaches us to defeat the BJP, we will lend our support." Yadav said no alliance could defeat the BJP without the help of his party and that they were ready to form an alliance with secular parties to defeat the BJP.

GENRE MIX
I first heard some of Jaggery's music two or three years ago. Their genre defying sound never fails to impress me. They experiment, test boundaries, and yet never come across as indulgent. 'Garden' is but a small taste of what to expect on the album. It's music as art, or possibly art as music!

"Garden" by Jaggery from Crux
TRACK REVIEW:
Creating elegant rapture, Jaggery tantalizes the senses with artistic placement of instruments. Classical urges are fulfilled with Jaggery's skillful marriage of sound. Surpassing the limits of the rock genre, Jaggery dabbles with aesthetic genius. The concoction of instruments is capable of igniting dopamine in the brain. Mali's vocals linger in haunting lore. [Dylan Jack]'s jazz direction twists #AvantRock to higher levels – taking cues from classical, jazz, pop, and rock. For me, the strings steal the show. Lingering notes – strummed by finger or bow – run up and down one's spine. Tony Leva on upright bass, avant-classical viola c/o Rachel Jayson, and…the showstopper: the Celtic harp. Petaluma Vale's delicate fingerings of the harp mirror the electric energy found in Mali's unique vocal style. Beautiful and unique, Jaggery implements notes of earthy-romanticism.

Jaggery is ethereal, complex, and real. If they haven't already been on your radar you can thank me after you've invested in this incredible album.

Review of 'Crux'
by Alasdair Kennedy
Jaggery are Boston's latest off-the-wall offering, a self-proclaimed 'avant rock' group with a frontwoman named Singer Mali Sastri (that's right – their singer is named Singer).
Their sound is quite simply genre defying – an alien mix of Bjorkish vocals, dark strings, soft pianos, and jazzy percussion. 'Avant rock' doesn't do it justice. For one rock indicates guitars, of which there are surprisingly none on this record.

Jaggery takes flight with Da Vinci at the MFA
by Jeremy Goodwin

The members of Jaggery have long been multidisciplinary types. The band's sound, which might be described as restless chamber-pop, has proved fertile ground for collaborations with dancers, video artists, and various other forward-thinkers.
For its newest project, the band has chosen a rather boldface name to work with: Leonardo da Vinci.
At Jaggery's show at the Museum of Fine Arts on Friday, the band will present a program of songs in response to the Italian artist. Cued by an exhibition of his drawings ("Leonardo da Vinci and the Idea of Beauty") now on view at the museum, frontwoman Singer Mali says that Jaggery's focus on notions of the beautiful and grotesque fits right in with its aesthetic.

Jaggery Presents:
The Beautiful and the Grotesque:
Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci
In the MFA's "Leonardo da Vinci and the Idea of Beauty," drawings of porcelain-faced angels share gallery space with the gnarled faces of old men—all examples of the Renaissance master's concept of ideal beauty. And it's the kind of juxtaposition that comes naturally to avant-chamber-rock band Jaggery, whose description-defying music combines heavenly harp sounds and singer Mali Sastri's ethereal voice with strange time signatures and disturbing lyrics. Drawing on the MFA exhibit, Jaggery bring their darkwave cabaret act to Remis Auditorium this Friday.

James Comey's Criticism of Clinton was Unprecedented, Improper and Maybe Even Politicized
Elura NanosJul 6th, 2016, 2:47 pm
FBI directors don't make public statements about investigations, even when those investigations result in indictments. The last thing the FBI ever does is detail an entire investigation that led nowhere, and then follow up with a sweeping opinion about how the subject acted. FBI Director James Comey's public pronouncement of Hillary Clinton as "extremely careless" was both not the point and totally the point. Obviously, Comey's opinion lacks direct relevance to a Clinton prosecution, given that Comey is not a prosecutor and that the "extreme carelessness" is not an applicable legal standard. However, the statement carries great weight in the court of public opinion – a reality that has a very useful dual purpose. On the one hand, it allows the FBI to take credit for a nonpartisan investigation that was curtailed before it became a full-scale witch-trial. On the other, it satisfied Hillary-haters with an open and credible declaration of her sloppiness.
Still, the whole idea of Comey as the lone mouthpiece for the culmination of the entire e-mail saga is bizarre. Providing a public statement about what "a reasonable prosecutor" would do is, to put it mildly, not Comey's job. Granted, this is an unusual set of circumstances, but the high stakes strike me as a reason for the DOJ to be more controlling than ever. If we're talking about "reasonable prosecutors," the one thing that's totally clear is that no reasonable prosecutor would defer to any investigator when deciding which cases to prosecute. That's just not how it works.
Police do not dictate to prosecutors. Police gather the information and keep their mouths shut. Prosecutors evaluate the evidence and decide whether to file charges. There's usually a mutual respect between police and prosecutors; but making public conclusions about a person's behavior is clearly outside police authority. The FBI, in particular, is known for being tight-lipped, divulging as little information as possible outside the courtroom.
"If this was a bank robbery or a kidnapping, or any other crime, it would never have been handled this way. You do the investigation, and you take it to the prosecutors who then say yes whether or not there is enough evidence," said Bill Thomas, the former federal prosecutor who spoke with LawNewz.com.
"I think that Comey, for whom I have great respect, made a mistake when he went beyond simply announcing his decision to decline prosecution. The decision not to prosecute should not have been accompanied by a detailed statement of what the evidence could show and certainly should not have included his opinion that Hillary was extremely careless," said Elkan Abramowitz, a white collar defense attorney.
Comey's statement yesterday wasn't just unusual – it was literally unprecedented. In fact, Comey's press conference skirted the FBI's rules against public discussion of an ongoing investigation. Comey couched his decision to publicly denounce Secretary Clinton's behavior in a professional duty to effect "unusual transparency." That's a pretty convenient "duty" for a Republican director to have four months before a presidential election.
Everything about yesterday's press conference was orchestrated to build drama to satisfy onlookers. From Comey's opening salvo, "they do not know what I am about to say," to his characterization of the Department of State lawyers as bumbling idiots, the speech was crafted for impact. Comey has controlled the narrative on behalf of the FBI, but more importantly, on his own behalf. He has created a reality in which his professionalism is unimpeachable, his motives are unbiased, and his judgment is apolitical. And yet, he used his platform to give an unsolicited opinion slamming a presidential candidate in a manner bound to influence voters. What remains to be seen now is whether Comey himself will emerge as a Hoover-like figure of national interest, or whether he will be perceived as a reluctant spokesperson for a larger collection of Hillary-hating enthusiasts.
