Opportunities are provided for parents and family members to participate in decisions related to the education of their child/children. The school and local educational agency shall provide other reasonable support for parental involvement activities.
Parents of participating children will be provided timely information about programs under this part, a description and explanation of the curriculum in use, the forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress and the achievement levels of the challenging State academic standards. The school will provide assistance, opportunities, and/or materials and training to help parents work with their children to improve their children's academic achievement in a format, and when feasible, in a language the parents and family members can understand.
Educate teachers, specialized instructional support personnel, principals, and other school leaders, with the assistance of parents in the value and utility of contributions of parents, how to reach out to, communicate with and work with parents as equal partners.
Coordinate and integrate parental involvement programs and activities with other Federal, State and local programs, including preschool programs that encourage and support parents in more fully participating in the education of their children.
*It is the policy of the Nebraska Department of Education not to discriminate on the basis of gender, disability, race, color, religion, marital status, age, national origin or genetic information in its education programs, administration, policies, employment or other agency programs.

Food insecurity on the rise in Mass
By 8 months ago
Foodstuff insecurity in Massachusetts is staying set less than the spotlight with a study that identified a single-third of grownups struggle to get obtain to good diet statewide. A new survey carried out by the Larger Boston Foodstuff Lender located that 1.8 million people today or 32% of the state's grownup population claimed they were meals insecure. "It seriously implies that that family members has answered that they really do not have ample money to get the foods that they'd like for an lively healthful daily life," mentioned Lauren Fiechtner, the senior wellness and analysis advisor at the Bigger Boston Meals Financial institution.Fiechter discussed the root trigger of meals insecurity is family members not creating more than enough income to get the food stuff they'd like for an active and balanced life style. "Families are having difficulties to choose do they pay out their utilities expenditures," Fiechter mentioned. "Do they fork out their gasoline charges do they shell out for groceries and so which is what people are definitely struggling with in Massachusetts." The report specific that reasonings for these insecurities included increasing inflation, end of pandemic help and grocery store costs, which jumped 6.5 % final calendar year. As a end result, the all round quantity of persons who are food insecure has developed by 200,000. The analyze, which happened in late 2021 and early 2022, expands on the findings of the very first review done the previous yr. Its results involve a disproportionate amount of food items insecure respondents who discover as Latinx or Black. New data gives perception into food insecurity when it comes to gender identity and sexual orientation. "LGBTQ+ was 51 per cent of grown ups in Massachusetts determined at some position that they did not have plenty of funds to invest in the food items that they wished," Fiechtner explained.The new report specific that 45% of qualified grown ups really do not use the Supplemental Diet Aid Plan and 70% of all those not enrolled didn't even know they skilled for the aid.

Time from first intercourse to first sexually transmitted infection diagnosis among adolescent women
Objective: To determine the time between first intercourse and first sexually transmitted infection (STI) with. Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or Trichomonas vaginalis and time between repeated infections. Design: Observational study. Setting: Three adolescent medicine clinics. Participants: A cohort of 386 urban young women aged 14 to 17 years at enrollment. Main Outcome Measures: Age at first intercourse; organism-specific interval between first intercourse and first STI diagnosis; interval between repeated infections; and age at first STI test prior to study participation. Results: Participants had first intercourse at a young age (first, second, and third quartiles were 13, 14, and 15 years of age, respectively). By age 15 years, 25% of the women acquired their first STI, most often C trachomatis. Median interval between first intercourse and first STI diagnosis was 2 years. Within 1 year of first intercourse, 25% had their first C trachomatis infection. Repeated infections were common; within 3.6, 6, and 4.8 months, 25% of the women with prior C trachomatis, N gonorrhoeae, and T vaginalis infection were reinfected with the respective organisms. Considerable delay in STI testing was found for those who began sex at a younger age. The median interval between first sex and first test were 4.9, 3.5, 2.1, 1.8, and 1.2 years for those who had first sex at ages 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 years, respectively. Conclusions: Timely screening and treatment are important for prevention of STI sequelae. For urban adolescent women, STI screening (especially for C trachomatis) should begin within a year after first intercourse and infected individuals should be retested every 3 to 4 months. ©2009 American Medical Association.

PAROLED MURDERER FOUND GUILTY OF ARMED ROBBERY AND INITIATING POLICE PURSUIT FOUR MONTHS AFTER RELEASE FROM PRISON
SANTA ANA, Calif. – A paroled murderer was convicted today of armed robbery and initiating a police pursuit four months after his release from prison.
Defendant Maximum Sentence Court Date
Chandler Emile Graham, 54, Los Angeles 48 years and eight months in state prison Sentencing and trial on prior convictions
Charges Prior Convictions
Felony counts Graham was found guilty of by a jury on
Four counts of second degree robbery
Evading while driving recklessly
Unlawful taking of a vehicle
Possession of a firearm by a felon
Sentencing enhancement found true:
Personal use of a firearm
Second degree murder in 1995 in Orange County
Felon in possession of a firearm in 1989 in Los Angeles
Grand theft in 1990 in Los Angeles
Possession of a controlled substance in 1992 in Los Angeles
"Chandler Graham is a classic example of why the Orange County District Attorney's Office (OCDA) opposes the early release of convicted felons and dedicates so much time, effort, and energy into keeping lifers behind bars," said District Attorney Tony Rackauckas. "We hope that the Board of Parole and the Governor consider the lessons learned from this case. Within months of the Board of Parole approving his early release, Graham was back to committing crimes and endangering lives. OCDA will continue to support public safety by fighting to keep criminals in jail," said Rackauckas.
In May 2015, Graham was released on parole from his life sentence in prison after being convicted in 1995 of second degree murder.
In that case, the defendant had been contacted by a police officer while drinking in his car and fled from the officer. Graham crashed head-on into the victim's car during a high-speed police pursuit, killing the man.
The murder victim was on his way to lunch with his wife of 40 years to celebrate his last day of work before retirement. He had three children, and had become a grandparent and great-grandparent.
OCDA opposed his parole, which was granted by the Board of Parole Hearings (Panel).
The Panel concluded at his December 2014 hearing that the inmate, "would not pose an unreasonable risk of danger or a threat to public safety if released from prison."
Another factor in the Panel's decision was Graham's lack of prison rules violations during his 20 years served, which they considered significant.
On Sept. 21, 2015, four months after his release, Graham robbed a Lake Forest credit union teller at gunpoint while wearing a disguise, and fled in a vehicle he did not have permission to drive.
Orange County Sheriff's Department deputies located the defendant driving on Interstate 5 North soon after the robbery.
Graham initiated a high-speed pursuit, narrowly avoiding several cars and continuing after colliding with a curb.
The defendant evaded police on surface streets by running red lights and stop signs.
Graham discarded the gun and the stolen bank funds by throwing them out of the car window during the course of the pursuit, and they were later recovered by police.
The defendant was arrested in Tustin when he stopped the vehicle in the road.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Paul Chrisopoulos is prosecuting this case.
*Defendant was previously convicted of crashing into and killing a man while fleeing from police in 1995

The setting is ideal. You want to meet a guy, so you go to a place that has a variety of men packed into 2000 square feet. All single, all looking, all ready to buy you a drink and get to know you. On paper it would seem that a bar or club is an ideal place to meet someone. However, we all know the reality of this situation.
Just yesterday I received an email from a client who had met a guy at a club over the weekend. He was tall, and cute with the most adorable British accent. (Man, those accents are hard to resist.) They talked and laughed, and drank and danced. She was interested, he was mesmerized. He asked for her number, she gladly obliged. A seemingly perfect first meeting.
Then my client caught this guy making out with some random girl by the bathroom.
Yet another example of how bars and clubs are not good places to meet your next boyfriend. But wait a minute, I met my husband at a bar! And my husband, sorry to brag for a sec, is the cutest, smartest, most wonderful person I've ever met. So how can bars be all that bad?
The truth is that you absolutely can meet the love of your life at a bar or club. Yes, you can. I'm living proof of it. So it's not the venue itself that is the problem. There are just a couple of rules that you have to apply when you are out on the scene to up your chances of meeting a good guy and reduce the risk of attracting a bad one.
First off, timing is everything. Remember the movie Gremlins? The number one rule for caring for the cuddly creatures was to never feed them after midnight. After midnight the perfect pet turned into a mini Cujo. Well, the same goes for guys. Depending on what time you are out on the scene will determine what kind of guy you are going to find once you're there. If you are on the prowl starting at ten p.m. and going until three in the morning, don't be surprised if you constantly meet flakes, drunks and professional partiers. If, however, you hit the bars/clubs for happy hour (anytime between 5-10 pm) you are more likely to meet a good, quality guy. The reason is simple. Guys that call it a night before ten, do so because they are serious about their lives. They have good jobs and don't want to risk being hung over for work the next day. They would rather get up early, go for a run, catch up on the news, and get a head start on the day rather than sleep until noon. These are the guys that make good boyfriends.
Secondly, beware of Barney Stinson. If you haven't watched How I met your mother, then get out from under your rock and go set your tivo right now. Barney Stinson is the womanizing Lothario that loiters his local bar, McClarens, scoping out the ladies, and targeting his next score. He's there every night (yes even during happy hours). He is a denizen. A regular. A fixture, if you will. He is also to be avoided. If you come across a guy that claims the bar you are in is his modern day "Cheers," then you should pay your tab and be on your way. (Or have him pay your tab and be on your way, either way don't stick around and get to know him.) Men that hang out at bars so frequently they have a "regular booth" or worse, and entree named after them, are not marriage material. One of my friends learned this the hard way. When she met her boyfriend at McCormick & Shmick's ten years ago he was there so often he was invited to their company Christmas party. She married him anyway, against all advice from her friends and family, and ten years later is now divorced. That's not the worst part of it though. The worst part is that not only did she waste the best ten years of her life, she wasted them in agony. She was always waiting for him to come home, wondering where he was (even though she knew), and fighting with him to stop going out. She was constantly alone, frustrated and angry.
At first it could seem an attractive quality – a guy that everyone knows and is treated like royalty whenever he makes an appearance. He doesn't have to wait in line to get in, gets his drinks for free, and knows the bartenders first and last names… but this is not what you want in a husband.
Not all clubs are created equal. Just because one place doesn't yield good results, doesn't mean the place next door will do the same. Choose your venue wisely. If you want to meet someone and have it develop into something long term, go to places where you can actually have a conversation without having to scream over the music. Places with loud music, smoke machines and fancy lighting tend to attract the party-going types. Likewise, bars that are rowdy, noisy and crowded will make meeting someone all the more difficult. Try bars that are in nicer restaurants or even in an upscale hotel. I'm can't promise you will always meet stand-up guys there, but your chances will be better and you will be able to weed out the creeps faster!
To sum it up, can you meet a good guy in a bar? Yes. I did and you can too. But you have to know when, how, and what to look for. A lot of the above scenarios happen more frequently when you are between the ages of 18-28. Rightfully so. When you are young, you act young, and there is nothing wrong with that! Don't be surprised that the twenty-two year old hottie from Capitol Hill frequents the mid-town clubs every weekend and stays out until 4 a.m. He's twenty-two. What do you expect? As guys grow up, they grow out of things… most of the time.
There are many other signs you should be aware of while out prospecting. If you want to know more you can read about it in my book, "You Lost Him at Hello" or "Was it Something I Said?" Otherwise, contact me about one-on-one date coaching. To continue on to my advice blogs, click here!

Państwowy Instytut Robót Ręcznych (PIRR) – instytucja kształcenia nauczycieli powstała na bazie kursów organizowanych od 1915 roku w Szkole Rzemieślniczej im. Karola Szlenkiera ufundowanej przez rodzinę Szlenkierów. Założycielem kursów, a później Instytutu, dzięki wsparciu rodziny Szlenkierów, był jego pierwszy dyrektor inż. Władysław Przanowski. Siedziba mieściła się w Warszawie przy ul. Górczewskiej 8, a po II wojnie światowej w Łodzi i Bielsku. Instytut istniał do 1950 r.

Działalność

Po I wojnie światowej do polskich szkół wprowadzono nowy przedmiot nauczania: "roboty ręczne". PIRR został powołany do kształcenia nauczycieli tego przedmiotu. Nauczyciel "robót" uświadamiał uczniom naturalne powiązanie pomiędzy pracą umysłu i pracą rąk, poprzez takie zorganizowanie ćwiczeń, aby uczniowie wykonując różne przedmioty (od najprostszych do bardziej złożonych) mogli realizować różnorodne pomysły, jednocześnie zwracając uwagę na dokładność, estetykę wykonania oraz właściwą organizację pracy (współczesna metoda projektów). W Instytucie zdobywali kwalifikacje nauczyciele przedmiotu "prace ręczne" dla wszystkich typów placówek oświaty oraz seminariów nauczycielskich. Nauka trwała 2 lata (w projekcie przewidziano 3-letni plan studiów).

W Instytucie powstawały programy nauczania, podręczniki, poradniki metodyczne z zakresu prac ręcznych i pomoce dydaktyczne. Placówka pełniła funkcję centrum metodycznego i ośrodka instruktorskiego. W Instytucie wypracowano polskie metody nauczania prac ręcznych, odchodząc od wzorów skandynawskiego slojdu. Przy Instytucie zorganizowano Wyższe Kursy Nauczycielskie (WKN), przygotowujące kadry pedagogiczne dla szkół powszechnych.

Przed II wojną światową Instytut współpracował z zagranicznymi uczelniami podobnego typu, brał udział w wystawach krajowych i zagranicznych, prezentując polski system nauczania prac ręcznych. Uczelnia była odwiedzana przez gości krajowych i zagranicznych. Dorobek PIRR stanowi istotny element w historii oświaty polskiej. W związku z potrzebą kształcenia nauczycieli wszystkich przedmiotów organizowano studia nauczycielskie i szkolenia w ośrodkach metodycznych.

Przy Instytucie działało Towarzystwo Miłośników Robót Ręcznych, skupiające wykładowców, słuchaczy, absolwentów Instytutu oraz nauczycieli robót ręcznych. Towarzystwo, zainicjowane przez Władysława Przanowskiego, wydawało kwartalnik metodyczny "Praca Ręczna w Szkole".

Historia

Instytut powstał z przekształcenia Kursów Robót Ręcznych, zorganizowanych przez Władysława Przanowskiego i działających pod jego kierunkiem do 1923. W 1923 Kursy zostały upaństwowione i otrzymały nazwę Państwowy Instytut Robót Ręcznych. Po śmierci Władysława Przanowskiego dyrektorem został Stanisław Malec. Instytut zlikwidowany w 1939, działał dalej w konspiracji (prawdopodobnie kierował nim wówczas Zygmunt Andrzejewski). Powojenny PIRR rozpoczynał rekrutację w Warszawie, a dyrektorem został Wiktor Ambroziewicz. Pierwsze powojenne zebranie Rady Pedagogicznej Instytutu odbyło się 26 marca 1945 w Łodzi. Z Łodzi PIRR przeniósł się do Bielska, gdzie miał siedzibę aż do likwidacji w lipcu 1950. Zarządzenie Ministra Oświaty z dnia 27 lipca 1946 r. nadało Instytutowi nazwę Państwowy Instytut Robót Ręcznych im. Władysława Przanowskiego w Warszawie z siedzibą w Bielsku.

W 1979, z okazji przygotowań do setnej rocznicy urodzin Przanowskiego, powstało Koło im. Władysława Przanowskiego przy Towarzystwie Przyjaciół Warszawy, Oddział Mokotów. Zrzeszało ono nauczycieli i sympatyków idei wychowania przez pracę. Jako główne zadanie swej działalności przyjęto utrwalanie pamięci o nauczycielach i absolwentach PIRR oraz przede wszystkim starania o zorganizowanie szkoły wyższej, która nie tylko kształciłaby nauczycieli, lecz także byłaby ośrodkiem skupiającym i koordynującym prace badawcze. W 1994 Koło przeniosło swą działalność do struktur Polskiego Towarzystwa Nauczycieli.

Instytutowi, jego twórcom i absolwentom poświęcona była wystawa pt. O kształceniu rąk opowieść PIRR (1923−1950) w Muzeum Woli (Oddział Muzeum Historycznego Miasta Stołecznego Warszawy, od kwietnia 2014 Muzeum Warszawy) w roku 1992/93, a także fragment wystawy Albumy szkolne w Królikarni (Oddział Muzeum Narodowego) – 1985/86.

Od wiosny 1994 Dzielnica Wola ma ulicę nazwaną imieniem Przanowskiego (pomiędzy Mroczną i Szańcową). Obecnie budynek przy ul. Górczewskiej 8 mieści Instytut Badań Edukacyjnych. Tradycje gmachu przypomina tablica (odsłonięta 3 lutego 1963 na wniosek Zjazdu PIRR-owców).

Dyrektorzy
Kolejnymi dyrektorami Instytutu byli (i jednocześnie wykładowcami):
 Władysław Przanowski (w latach 1923−1937),
 Stanisław Malec (w latach 1937−1939),
 Wiktor Ambroziewicz (w latach 1945−1950).

A cartel involves an agreement or concerted practice between two or more competitors to engage in fixing prices and/or trading conditions, dividing markets and/or collusive tendering. By artificially limiting competition that would normally prevail between them, firms avoid exactly the kind of pressures that lead them to innovate, both in terms of product development and production methods. This results ultimately in high prices and reduced consumer choice.
In South Africa, cartel behaviour is prohibited by section 4(1)(b) of the Act. The penalty for participation in a cartel is a fine of up to 10% of the firm's annual turnover. The firm also faces the risk of damages claims by customers who may have suffered harm as a result of the cartel activity. The customers may use the finding of cartel behaviour against the firm to claim damages in the civil courts. There are also major reputational implications associated with cartel behaviour.

Royal Artillery Barracks, UK
Sustainability and sporting excellence
The Royal Artillery Barracks shooting venues were delivered for the London 2012 Olympic Games by Sisk with sustainability and the innovative use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) at the heart of our strategy.
The three orange, pink and blue dotted buildings were completed in January 2012 skinned in a white, double-curved membrane façade, studded with vibrantly colored openings for natural ventilation and access.
External facade
Speed of construction
This was the last major venue to be procured for the London 2012 Olmpic Games and fast track construction was key. BIM was utilised to identify challenges in the design and enable greater productivity once on-site, having received input from various elements of the Sisk team, sub-contractors and suppliers.
Simulation and analysis of the buildings' tensioned fabric skin, along with its lighting and internal climate, allowed for greater scrutiny of the design, ensuring areas which presented shadows or air movement that could affect the spectators' comfort and competitors' performance could be acted upon. To meet the schedule, all aspects of the build had to be right first time and this was achieved through the virtual build in advance.
"Sisk completed the works to a very high standard, within our programme and budget."
Richard Arnold
Project Sponsor, Olympic Delivery Authority
Shooting gallery
The site goal was to reuse or recycle 90% of onsite demolition wastes arising
One of the key aims of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games was the legacy of the buildings and their sustainable reuse. The shooting venues were the major success in terms of relocation as they went on to become one of the sites in Scotland for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Following completion of the London events, Sisk dismantled and relocated the venue to the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre at the Ministry of Defence's training camp in Carnoustie. Able to accommodate up to 1,450 spectators, the reused structure enclosed various ranges for the event and was subsequently able to be disassembled and removed once again.

Xtreme Ice Arena Mirrabooka is an ice rink that hosts a range of ice skating sessions and parties. They also have bumper cars on ice and toddler snow sessions called Rug Rats on Ice.
On our visit we enjoyed the Rug Rats on Ice Session, for kids 5 years and under and their parents or carers. The sessions run Wednesdays and Fridays, 10-12noon, in the school term, and cost $10 per child and $5 per adult (which includes skate hire and a coffee or other hot drink).
You don't have to skate at this session, you are allowed to wear shoes onto the ice rink and kids who don't want to skate can also get little ice shoes (see picture below).
In the Rug Rats on Ice Session you can skate and play around in the snow located at one end of the ice rink not far from the entry. It's a great experience especially for kids who have never seen snow. There are some buckets, shovels and toy cars in the snow so it's lots of fun.
Although my boy is pictured in a t-shirt above it is cold - so we recommend long pants, jumpers, beanies, gloves and enclosed shoes, just incase they don't want to wear skates.
You can't bring in outside food but there is a great little cafe with a good range of drinks, snacks and light meals - and don't forget to use your free coffee voucher while you are having a break from the snow.
You can enjoy bumper car sessions in the school holidays, during the term and on the weekends. It's $5 for 5 minutes an it's lots of fun.

SOAK, LLC is transitioning to a non-profit.
SOAK LLC (the umbrella organization that has until now managed the Portland regional festival as well as our fall event, Burnout) has been working to move its operations into a nonprofit. To this end, following an open nomination process and input from an 18-member steering committee, five community members were appointed in December 2015 to a volunteer board of directors - those members were: Julia Betts, Amelia Lamb, Thomas "Tomcat" Martin, Becca Priddy, and Adrian "Cucumber" Thomas-Eikmann. The new board formally established Precipitation NW as an Oregon nonprofit corporation in March 2016 and have been working diligently since then to support current SOAK leadership; expand our skills and recruit new board members; work with Apparatus, the manager of SOAK LLC, to finalize the terms of the transition; and prepare our application to the IRS for 501(c)3 tax exemption. You can read more of our latest news on the transition here.
We are honored for this opportunity to serve the community in this new exciting chapter. We believe strongly in our role to model the 10 Principles of Burning Man, most notably Communal Effort and Civic Responsibility, and will be drafting a strategic plan to reflect this.
We welcome questions any time at board@precipitationnw.org. You can follow our news on Facebook or on this website.
Thank you for your encouragement and support through this transition.
Find out about the new organization and its vision + mission.

Next year, as part of Jaguar's Race to Innovate, Jaguar I-PACE cars will have the chance to compete in ten Formula E race events taking place around the world at the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY. The world's first FIA-sanctioned international race series for production-based electric cars will feature up to 20 modified Jaguar I-PACE cars all competing on the same circuit as the electric street race cars. Participants will be provided professional technical support, spare parts, and equipment.
Jaguar is currently accepting inquiries from companies and individuals wishing to participate in one of the inaugural eTROPHY events. Visit the eTROPHY site for more information on how to participate and to see if an eTROPHY event is scheduled near you.
Every new car begins as a model of sculpted plastic and clay. When that car goes into production that model is pulled apart and discarded as waste. Until now. In partnership with SkunkWorks Surf Co, Land Rover's model car waste materials are now living out second lives as surfboards.
Committed to living in a world of zero waste, Jaguar Land Rover sought out ways to repurpose their waste plastic. Upon recognizing that surfboards were made from the same material used in the early clay design models, they began the process of recovering waste plastic and sending it off for transformation — to live again as a surf- or paddle board.
The first surfboard, made from a Discovery Sport, was hand-built for English Women's Open Surfing Champion surfer, Lucy Campbell. Watch as Lucy tests her new surfboard off the coast of Northern Ireland.
By using an electric powertrain similar in size and weight to the iconic E-type's gas powered engine and transmission, the E-type Zero looks strikingly similar to the original and hints at a future where these iconic beauties live on, this time as the most beautiful electric car ever made.

The Phantom Tollbooth - Duke Special – Look Out Machines!
Duke Special – Look Out Machines!
Written by Derek Walker
The Duke can bring the whole of his career together in one song, when progressive pop in the verse switches to a chorus that would not be out of place in a theatrical show. Is this his best album yet?
Label: Stranger Records
Time: 11 tracks / 40 mins.
Duke Special is one of those unpredictable artists, whose new albums draw a breath of excited anticipation.
This one is very much a follow-up in style to Oh! Pioneer, with the same creamy sounds, accessible tunes and honest lyrics that celebrate friendship and ask questions. But this one goes further.
Here we get a new emphasis on electronica that verges on Depeche Mode at times, occasionally touching the light industrial, but usually either making bouncy pop or colouring his adventurous lyrics with a new richness that sends the sounds floating smoothly down the ear.
The single "Elephant Graveyard" is a great example of this, but the tracks abutting it are just as radio-friendly, their upbeat poppiness sometimes belying the depth of thought behind the songs.
The ballads dotted around show that even when stripped down, his tunes stand scrutiny, and when they are familiar, there is a whole depth of meaning to plumb.
Three songs touch on the importance of community and supporting one another ("Wingman," the excellent "Nail on the Head" and "Domino"); while other topics include relationship issues, challenging the boundaries that damage us, confronting our demons and "Step to the Magical," which portrays a mesmerising, confident woman. He also lays himself open in his faith journey (see the link below to our Photographic Pioneers interview).
The standard only varies a little: his Boo Hewerdine collaboration "Statues" feels almost as static as the name suggests, with a generic tune, but otherwise nearly everything here is fresh, thoughtful and easy to listen to several times in a row.
If not his best (and it surely is his best-sounding release) it feels the most complete and representative Duke Special album so far. He can bring the whole of his career together in the wonderful "Son of the Left Hand," when progressive/electro pop in the verse and break switches to a chorus, backed by strings, which would not be out of place in a theatrical show. Fine work.

The statues represent St. Leopold and St. Severin – the patrons of Lower Austria – and were sculpted by Richard Luksch. The four splendid eye-popping angels were designed by Othmar Schimkowitz and the beautiful mosaics and stained glass by Koloman Moser, co-founder of the Wiener Werkstätte.
Gold and green, organic patterns and nature inspiration, delicate curves and sultry attitude conform the essense of the Art Nouveau in one of the most impressive sacred buildings in Europe.
