This Week's Hippo – The Middle makes a move
July 15, 2010 Michael WitthausLeave a comment
Meet me in the Middle:
Ask any kid to name the best part of a sandwich cookie. Doesn't matter if it's an Oreo, Nutter Butter or E.L. Fudge®, the predictable answer is "the middle." For a group of civic boosters, this sweet spot also provided a perfect metaphor for their goal of reviving Franklin's arts scene.
So in April 2009, Franklin Opera House became the Middle New Hampshire Arts & Entertainment Center. But the idea went well beyond Cookies 101.

This week's Hippo – Huey Lewis, Comedy and more
July 8, 2010 July 8, 2010 Michael WitthausLeave a comment
Huey Lewis – Still Beating:
The secret of Huey Lewis's success: keep busy, but not too much.
"As long as you don't have to do it 250 days a year, it's the best job in the world," Lewis told a gathering of journalists recently. "When you reduce your schedule a little bit, it's like falling in love all over again."
When Huey Lewis and the News hit the stage at the Casino Ballroom on Sunday, July 11, fans can expect familiar hits — "Heart of Rock and Roll," "Power of Love," "I Want a New Drug" — along with what Lewis terms "greatest misses, obscurest stuff," a cappella doo-wop and a few tracks from an album the band recently completed in Memphis.
The new record focuses on music from the Stax/Volt era.
Men Fake Foreplay – Mike Dugan tries to be a better man
"Growing up, I had one major flaw," Mike Dugan says early in Men Fake Foreplay, his one-man show playing this weekend at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord. "I laughed at the people I should have listened to, and I listened to the people I should have laughed at."
When he was 13, Dugan's father caught him reading Playboy magazine and banned it from the house. At the time, Dugan found it amusing. But he realized later that the old man was right — Hugh Hefner's free love philosophy was the tip of a pernicious iceberg.

Jerry's kids – Shades of Grateful Dead in Greensky Bluegrass
Years before the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia was a dedicated banjo player. In 1964, he and a pal drove to Kentucky and auditioned for "Father of Bluegrass" Bill Monroe's band. Garcia didn't get the gig, and when he got home to California, the dearth of pickers pushed him toward guitar-playing. The rest is history.
Gravity Tavern pulls them in
One quick look around the remodeled Gravity Tavern, located in a former 19th-century axe factory across the parking lot from Kiki's Restaurant in New Boston, and the sense is immediate: this is a listening room.
Hippo Seacoast – Gallagher goes fruit free
Gallagher is primarily known for his work with a sledgehammer, which tends to get in the way of his ideas for solving the world's problems. Before becoming a prop comic, Gallagher earned a degree in chemical engineering from the University of South Florida, and he regularly attends the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to pitch his ideas.
On the phone recently from a tour stop in Tacoma, he talked about one of them, a design for a Subatomic Action Figure that would help explain the innards of iPods and cell phones to youngsters. "I try to get the companies to back me on this," he said. "If Lucent or Sony were behind it, that would have a lot more validity than a guy who smashes watermelons."
The Tampa resident also wonders why no one's drafted James Cameron to tackle the Gulf oil spill. "He did a lot of research on underwater vehicles. If you can find the Titanic, you should be able to go down a mile and cap off this leak."
He has a plan to build family reunion resorts, but the producers of Extreme Home Makeover rebuffed it. He'd like to mount a Wild West Show, starring injured NBA star Yao Ming, and tour China.
Then there are his questions of the ages, many of which are detailed in the World's Smartest Man section of his web site (www.gallaghersmash.com). "I talk about gray areas," he says. "How we can't decide whether something is up or down, left or right, black or white an adult or a child, a citizen or an alien, a tax or a fee, a black person or white person, boy or girl, truck or car. There's no meaning anymore in life and our society, and I talk about this."
Most of his musings are more fanciful than serious. He is, after all, a stand up comic – one of the most successful of all time. "I wonder why old people don't have gangs," he says. "Because they have nothing to lose; they're already old, so putting them in jail is no big thing. They don't mind if you kill 'em. They could be a gang and they'd already have vehicles – instead of motorcycles, those little scooters."
This offbeat wit forms most of Gallagher's act, but more than a few people can be counted on to arrive with plastic sheets in tow, waiting for his signature prop, the Sledge-O-Matic. However, some shows, like the one happening this Saturday, July 3 at Jonathan's in Ogunquit, are pre-advertised as "smash-free."
Isn't that a bit like Lynyrd Skynyrd refusing to play "Free Bird"? Gallagher doesn't think so.
"My audience is old enough now that they can see from my videos that I have a lot more than just smashing," he says. "They don't mind. I still have a fairly crazy show."
During his early 80's heyday, Gallagher routinely sold out theatres. These days, after a heart attack forced him to take a break that his brother Ron tried to capitalize on with a Gallagher II show (which a lawsuit later shut down), the comic must out of necessity play a wider range of venues.
He views this adaptability as an asset. "I have to have a lot of different skills and material," he says, "because I've been doing this for 30 years and I think I'm about the best guy you can hire to do a show anywhere in America. There are plenty of comics that can work in L.A. or New York, but can't work in the middle.
But it's also created some problems. "I don't like stupid people who won't shut up and can't handle their alcohol," says Gallagher. "Whether or not there's alcohol changes the show." He's not afraid to berate audience members who cross the line. At a recent New York City comedy club performance (captured by several cell phones and uploaded to YouTube), his dressing down of an inebriated couple in the front row seemed to last longer as his act.
In an era where reality television has fans asserting equal footing with the person onstage, Gallagher maintains control, even if it alienates the audience. "I don't want them to be quiet, I'm there live and it is a live experience – but up to a point," he says. "When it becomes their show and not my show, they have to back off. I just tell the truth. I say the world doesn't revolve around you, other people paid to see a Gallagher show, and you haven't been funny yet."
Warming up to the idea, he continues. "I think that's why I'm not on television. People find the truth too dangerous. They really don't want phone calls, emails and problems. I like it. I am a troublemaker. Anybody who will smash fruit on people is also going to smash their revered concepts. I think that's what it's all about. Comedians give you a fresh point of view – especially about things that you thought were important."
Of course, that doesn't mean Gallagher takes himself too seriously. "I'm still just a joke writer, commenting on the passing American scene," he says. "People are always going to be goofy."

Novak Djokovic 'did not believe' he could beat Rafael Nadal, claims coach
Novak Djokovic looked like he 'did not believe' he could beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open, his coach Goran Ivanisevic has said.
Djokovic faced Nadal in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, with his title defence coming to an end after four sets of brilliant tennis from both players.
After the match, Djokovic told the press that he simply had to accept that Nadal played better on the day.
And, while there can never be any shame in anyone losing to Nadal at Roland Garros, Ivanisevic said Djokovic seemed much more passive than usual.
"I cannot say that I am disappointed, but I am sad," Ivanisevic told Sasa Ozmo for Tennis Majors.
"It was not a perfect match from either side. Rafa did not play a spectacular match, but the body language decided, from the first point until the last: Rafa's body language and Novak's body language.
"It was like he lacked energy and like he did not believe sufficiently that he could win. You cannot allow that to yourself against Rafa, because this is his tournament.
"It is not the time nor the place to speak about the match in-depth immediately after it was finished. I empathise with Novak, he is the one that is playing and fighting, so he is feeling the worst, and I am very sad for him because I thought that he could have won.
"Novak now needs to rest well and prepare for Wimbledon physically and mentally. I am sure that he can do it and I think he will win Wimbledon, I have a good feeling about that."
Novak Djokovic will drop to world number three on June 13, but he may still be the top seed at Wimbledon due to Daniil Medvedev being banned from playing and Alexander Zverev battling injury.

Virginia Stoddert Moore served in World War 1 with the United States Navy. The dates of service are: Known 6/12/1918 to 4/17/1919.
My grandmother, Virginia Stoddert Moore, of Chicago, Ill, b. April 24, 1896, d. March 8, 1982, Service No. 145-64-22, volunteered to join the U S Navy and enlisted on June 12, 1918, at Great Lakes, IL, as a Yeoman First Class.
She was called to active duty, to "volunteer for general service and agree to any assignment to duty on the high seas or to service in any foreign coutnry." Capt Moffett, then Commander of the base there, is recorded as saying she was the "first" there. (Please see attached article.)
Virginia stated she felt like she was the first because of her status as a volunteer, when the first and subsequent women had been 'taken in', or 'conscripted' as secretaries. History records otherwise, I'm afraid.
She was assigned to a ship the USS Triton at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., June 20, 1918, then to the Public Works Office January 29, 1919, and then transferred to the Navy Department in D.C. on January 29, 1918.

One of the Few, the Proud… the First 300
By Bob Ravener
The United States Marine Corps has a long and proud tradition fighting America's battles and after the U.S. declared war on Germany, were using virtually every active duty service member to fight in the Great War or training those preparing to fight. On 08 August 1918 that all changed when they took on another cause, women in uniform. That's when Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels wrote a letter authorizing the Commandant of the Marine Corps to enlist women in the Marine Corps Reserve for clerical duty.
Six weeks later, on 24 September, a five foot tall, grey eyed, and auburn-haired Mary Coan Reilly, became one of those first women Marines.
During this period of global crisis and tumultuous change, a little more than 300 women donned the forest green uniform of the Corps, but selection was anything but easy for these aspiring Marines. In fact, it was extremely competitive. According to the book written by Captain Linda Hewitt in 1974, "In New York City alone, 2,000 hopeful applicants lined up...in reply to a newspaper article that the Marine Corps was looking for 'intelligent young women'." Mary was one of those many applicants and became one of only five or so to be selected to serve in New York at the Marine Corps Publicity Bureau in lower Manhattan. Most of the rest of these early pioneers served at Headquarters Marine Corps in Washington DC.

There is nothing better, in this world, than being a mother. I love tending to the needs of a tiny human, and exposing her to the joy and magic of the world around her. Creating castles out of blankets, Seeing animals in the clouds, and dancing without music!
There is beauty in the world that can only be seen through the eyes of a child, and she has reopened my eyes. She has given me a fresh energy and curiosity to see everything there is to see! I love my daughter. I love being her mom.
Since she has come into my life, she has helped me fight my anxiety. Whenever I feel my anxiety creeping up on me, she is right there (as if she knows) with a hug and kiss. When I am able to focus on her, I am able to pull myself out. It's a beautiful thing.
here we made a reading nook out of the shower since my husband took off the door to replace it. Obviously, it was time to play while Daddy worked!


Congratulations to everyone on the sale of this great home in the heart of town!

The team designing Google's Seattle campus has released a new batch of images that show how the tech giant will drive the next evolution of the South Lake Union neighborhood, right in Amazon's backyard.
The new images are part of a packet created for a design review approval meeting next week, where a group of local architects, developers, residents and community representatives will dissect and possibly OK building designs. Documents show the project on the block between Terry and Boren avenues north. will include a pair of six-story office buildings with a combined 313,500 square feet of office space. Above one of the office buildings will be eight stories of apartments with 79 units.
The project will also have a pathway through the center of the block, also known as a "woonerf" that connects Terry and Boren. The meeting is set for 8 p.m. Sept. 21 at Queen Anne Community Center, 1901 First Ave. W.
Last week, developer Vulcan Real Estate and architect Graphite Design Group got design review approval for one of the Google buildings, known as Block 25W. It is on the north side of Mercer Street, between Fairview and Boren avenues north. A 14-story structure will be built on that site with six stories of office space totaling 145,600 square feet for Google and 69 apartments on the upper floors.
A second project on the same block, this one called Block 25E, will have another six-story office building for Google. This project has also received design review approval.
The entire campus in the neighborhood will have more than 600,000 square feet of office space for Google. Construction will take place in phases, beginning in the first quarter of 2017, Lori Mason Curran of Vulcan Real Estate previously told GeekWire. The combined office-apartment towers could open in the fourth quarter of 2018, with the office building on Block 25E possibly opening in the second quarter of 2019.
Google has agreed to leases lasting 14 to 16 years, a sign of the company's long-term commitment to the Seattle region. Combined with Google's recently expanded offices in Kirkland, Wash., the technology giant will be approaching 1 million square feet in the region with this new space.
Vulcan is planning a third block between Terry and Westlake avenues north, but that one does not involve Google. Plans for that block call for a 16-story apartment tower and six stories of office space. The three blocks were originally being planned together before Google leased the other two. Mason Curran said Vulcan has not picked a construction start date for the third block.

Top 10 albums of 2017
Better late than never... These are the records that went on repeat at Discopop TowersTM in 2017. Which was a week ago.
10) Muna - About U
When you're beaten and a friend unexpectedly comes to your defence. When you're silently hurting and someone notices. When you just need to be understood. That's what this album is, but songs.
9) Billie Eilish - Don't Smile At Me
Technically an EP, but longer than most Beatles' albums, so I'm allowing it.
Billie Eilish has a faultless ear for melody, a lean-closer voice and a bucketful of acidic lyrics. Everyone, including me, goes on about Bellyache, where she fantasises about killing her friends. But my favourite (because I actually lived it) is Party Favor, where she casually and callously dumps her boyfriend on his birthday. "I hate to do this to you on your birthday," she coos. "Happy birthday, by the way".
8) Wolf Alice - Visions Of A Life
Good luck summing this one up. Ellie, Theo, Joff and Joel sound like they've raided the musical pick'n'mix counter, grabbing handfuls of grunge and dream-pop and punk shoegaze and anything else that takes their fancy - Ellie even borrows Neil Tenant's deadpan vocal "stylings" on Sky Musings. But somehow it works. You can holler along to Beautifully Unconventional, you can spit at Yuk Foo, you can swoon to Don't Delete The Kisses.
"I think hummus is quite a good analogy for our album," Ellie told me in September. "You get all these different varieties but at the end of the day they're all hummus."
Told you it was impossible to sum up.
7) Kendrick Lamar - Damn
The fire, the fury, the blood, the piss, the faith, the doubt, the humility, the false humility, the Rihanna duet, the breezy, casual competence of it all. At this point, he's basically showing off.
6) Paramore - After Laughter
Paramore's technicolor fifth album completes their transformation into pin-sharp pop stars - but not, like, Katy Perry or anything. ("I can't imagine getting up there and playing a Max Martin song – at that point we might as well just stop," guitarist Taylor York told The New York Times in April).
Instead, they take their cues from the angular elbows and polyrhythms of Talking Heads and Cyndi Lauper, while Hayley Williams picks at the scabs of her depression in a procession of unflinchingly stark lyrics.
My favourite track is Rose Colored Boy - where she rages against an irritatingly glass-half-full acquaintance. "And oh, I'm so annoyed," she hisses, "'Cause I just killed off what was left of the optimist in me". Sad-dancing hasn't been this good since Robyn last released an album.
5) Lorde - Melodrama
Too clever for its own good, Lorde's second album suffers from a surfeit of ideas. When they work (the conspiratorial tongue click on Perfect Places, the submerged vocal samples of Sober) it's glorious. But other tracks threaten to collapse under the weight of their ambition. It's telling that the standout moments are the simplest: Liability and Writer In The Dark.
But you can't argue with Ella Yelich-O'Connor's facility with melody, nor her gothic, awkward, evocative lyrics - somehow cool in their lack of coolness.
"We're the greatest/ They'll hang us in the Louvre / Down the back... but who cares? Still the Louvre" is a stand-out, but my absolute favourite is "I'm closing my teeth around this liquor-wet lime".
A flawed masterpiece.
4) Dua Lipa - Dua Lipa
Was it groundbreaking? No.
Did it rewrite pop history? No.
Was it an unimpeachable collection of pop songs? Yes.
New Rules was the standout, naturally, but you get six other singles for your money, from the self-descriptive Hotter Than Hell to the ridiculously danceable Blow Your Mind (Mwah). And check out Dua's sultry, husky vocals on Thinking 'Bout You for proof that she's set to be the UK's finest pop star.
3) St Vincent - Masseduction
All seedy glamour, giddy highs and unsettling lows, St Vincent's fifth album is as sticky and messy as real life gets.
Over crunching programmed beats, her stories invariably deal with loss of control ("I cannot stop the airplane from crashing," she sings on the title track), with references to mood-stabilising drugs, and a soul-crushing break-up ("how can anyone have you and lose you and not lose their mind, too?" - Los Ageless).
Annie Clark's most personal album to date, it's also her most pop-fuelled. She's ably assisted in this by Jack Antonoff, who also produced Lorde and Taylor Swift's latest albums, but never surrenders her wit, her inventiveness or her fury.
2) Kesha - Rainbow
When life gives you lemons, make a defiantly bonkers hillbilly pop record.
Kesha may not have won her freedom from Dr Luke, the producer and label boss she accuses of drugging and sexually abusing her (claims he denies) but she was finally free to make the music she wanted.
Out go the vocoders and retrospectively creepy lyrics about being drunk and out of control. In come throat-shredding vocals and revelatory songs about resilience, compassion, independence and, er... dating Godzilla.
The back story makes it compelling, but it's the songs that keep you coming back.
1) Laura Marling - Semper Femina
Acres of newsprint were wasted discussing how Laura Marling wrote about femininity from a male perspective. For a start, she abandoned that conceit half-way through (although the record is broadly about female archetypes, from the wild child to the artist's muse). But worse than that, it steers your attention away from the mesmerising beauty of these songs.
The album opens with Soothing, whose prowling, sensuous bassline suggests all kinds of sex, until Marling kicks her lover out: "I banish you with love". On Wild Fire, she channels Lou Reed, while shaming a plonker who tells her "you're at your most beautiful when you don't know you're being watched". "Maybe someday when God takes me away," she drawls. "I'll understand what the fuck that means."
Musically, she's never sounded more relaxed. Under the watchful guidance of Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes, Fiona Apple) she lets in all sorts of new musical textures - backmasked vocals, sweeping strings, even a guitar solo - that add to the dramatic acuity of her lyrics.
Beguiling and brilliant, it's the best album of her career.
Here's a playlist of tracks from the Top 10 albums. You can see numbers 11 to 20 below.
FYI: The next 10:
11) SZA - CTRL
12) Taylor Swift - Reputation
13) Lana Del Rey - Lust For Life
14) Stormzy - Gang Signs & Prayer
15) J Hus - Common Sense
16) Haim - Something To Tell you
17) Niia - I
18) Feist - Pleasure
19) Jessie Ware - Glass House
20) Jay-Z - 4:44

Welcome to my website. I'm the music reporter for BBC News, covering industry stories, chart news and artist interviews. Over the years, I've been lucky enough to speak to everyone from Madonna and Paul McCartney to Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran . I'll post links to the best ones here, alongside some of my radio and TV work.
Is Pharrell Williams incapable of writing intros?
As well as being the owner of a magnificent hat, Pharrell Williams is a brilliant and prolific songwriter. In fact, he's one of the most consistent producers/composers in the business, racking up hits for everyone from Beyonce to Britney to Justin to Jay-Z and, more recently, himself. But here's the thing: He's rubbish at writing intros. Take a listen to his new album, GIRL, and seven of the 10 tracks start exactly the same way. He takes the first beat of the first bar, loops it four times, then goes straight into the song. It's not a bad technique - for one thing, you get to the melody quicker, and that is a sure-fire way of making your song memorable and radio friendly - but when it's used to such a ridiculous extent, it starts to lose its effect. Looking back through Pharrell's production catalogue, both by himself and with the Neptunes, it turns out he's been employing the trick since his first hit in 1993 - SWV's Right Here. Here's a shor
Dave Grohl Q&A
I jumped on a Zoom call with Dave Grohl last week, shortly before President Biden's inauguration (at which the Foo Fighters played) for a chat about his new album, US politics and funky drumming. Pretty much the entire conversation ended up being used, in some form or another, in my BBC News write-up. But for the completists, here's a full transcript of our chat, with all the rambling asides left in. It won't come as a surprise to learn that he comes across as a genuinely nice guy, even by the medium of video chat.

London plans 100k person marathon
London plans world's first 100,000-person marathon
The 2021 Virgin Money London Marathon is set to be the biggest marathon ever staged anywhere in the world, with an incredible 100,000 runners scheduled to take part on Sunday 3 October.
Organisers London Marathon Events today confirmed the virtual Virgin Money London Marathon will return this year, with 50,000 places available for runners to take on the world's greatest marathon on the course of their choice from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 BST on 3 October, wherever they are on the planet.
On the same day, a record 50,000 participants will run from Blackheath to The Mall in the traditional mass-participation Virgin Money London Marathon on the streets of the capital, an increase of more than 7,000 on the previous finisher record.
The virtual Virgin Money London Marathon was held for the first time in 2020, when more than 37,000 runners, from all corners of the world, completed the event. Today it was confirmed that the final finishing total of 37,966 means it has been awarded an official Guinness World Records title for the 'Most users to run a remote marathon in 24 hours'.
Jan 20, 2021 ·
How The 40th Race happened
Hugh Brasher, Virgin Money London Marathon Event Director, said: "With a national vaccination programme underway, we hope to see an unprecedented 100,000 people take part in this year's Virgin Money London Marathon on Sunday 3 October.
"The London Marathon is a wonderful example of sport as a force for good while raising millions for charity. It's all about communities and people coming together and one of our founding pillars is 'to have fun and provide some happiness and a sense of achievement in a troubled world'.
"The world record-breaking success of the virtual event in 2020 and the incredible stories from participants across the globe showed how the world's greatest marathon brought light and hope in the darkness of the pandemic. We want to offer that again and we have also accelerated the plans we have been working on for some years to increase the number of finishers on the streets of London to 50,000.
"People can run wherever they are in the world, they can run for charity, they can run for their mental or physical health, or run for the sheer enjoyment of it – whatever the reason, they will be part of a unique day in the history of the London Marathon on Sunday 3 October."
Also returning to the streets of the capital on Sunday 3 October is the Virgin Money Giving Mini London Marathon, alongside the virtual Virgin Money Giving Mini London Marathon for primary schools nationwide. More than 110,000 children took part in the first virtual event last year.
Craig Glenday, Editor in Chief at Guinness World Records, said: "2020 was the year that we saw a spike in virtual record-breaking and the virtual Virgin Money London Marathon was no exception. To see that 37,966 people took part in the 2020 race is outstanding and every single participant should be proud of their efforts. We are looking forward to seeing more record-breaking attempts at the Virgin Money London Marathon in 2021."
Everyone who entered the ballot for the 2021 Virgin Money London Marathon will find out on Monday 8 February if they have been successful or not. Unsuccessful applicants will have an exclusive window from Monday 8 February to Tuesday 16 February to enter the virtual event.
General entries will open on Tuesday 16 February, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Entries cost £28 (plus an additional £10 for entries outside the UK to cover international postage) and all finishers will receive their running numbers before the event and their coveted official finisher medal and New Balance finisher's T-shirt post-event.
Participants will have from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 BST on Sunday 3 October to complete the 26.2 miles on the course of their choice. Once again, the Virgin Money London Marathon App powered by TCS will enable runners to track and record their runs.

Juice Beauty has been around the beauty circuit since 2005 and the brand pride itself as using organic, antioxidants rich botanical juices as the base of their products. The ingredient list is a testament of this as you will find juices as the first ingredient instead of water or aqua. The products are also free from parabens, petroleum, propylene or butylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, pesticides, phthalates, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances and are cruelty-free.
I have been testing the new PreBiotix Hydrating Gel Moisturizer* for more than a month and I must say, it's a winner.
The brand claims this moisturizer to be ultra-absorbent and lightweight and will intensely soothe and locks in moisture. The prebiotic blend includes viola flower, chia, and coconut extract which protects the skin while fermented kumaru, fermented American bamboo, organic jojoba, prickly pear, grape, apple and aloe juices moisturize and protect the skin.
The texture is a lightweight hybrid of gel-lotion and it absorbs almost instantly without leaving any residue or tackiness. It does have a soft lemongrass scent to which I adore but not everyone will be a fan. I need 3 pumps (each pump dispense little product) my dry-normal skin and it wears beautifully under sunscreens and makeup.
Initially, I was very worried that this moisturizer would be drying for my skin but it was perfect especially for day time. My makeup goes on so well over it and it doesn't cause my skin to go oily throughout the day. It also didn't cause me to breakout which is a huge bonus. I do occasionally use it in the evening but I would need to add a couple drops of facial oil either into it or on top to seal the moisture in. My skin does need something heavier for the evenings.
After more than a month of regular use, I find my skin to look healthier and radiant. It doesn't do much to soften my fine lines or pigmentations but I rely on serums for more targetted problems.
Who do I recommend this moisturizer to? I strongly feel everyone would love it unless you have extremely dry skin or a very sensitive nose to scent.
Would I repurchase? Definitely! This is a moisturizer that I see myself repurchasing in the future. The texture is a pleasure to use, the scent is calming and spa-like and most of all, this moisturizer is basically skin food.
Juice Beauty PreBiotix Hydrating Gel Moisturizer* retails for $65.00CAD and is available for purchase through Sephora and Juice Beauty.

Belated mention of Ron Arad's Curtain Call which was installed at the Roundhouse back in August. Late on a bank holiday weekend we just managed to catch the last 2-hour rotation of all the contributed films. Some exploited the projection onto the circular, silicon rod curtain more effectively than others, but our personal favourite was Greenaway & Greenaway's reflection of the Roundhouse's own architecture (captured to some degree - and after several changes of camera settings -in the image above, taken from outside the silicon curtain).

Here are 20 tricks to help get a concordat signed and ratified, with examples to show how these dodges work. This is your guide if you hope to become the Vatican's foreign minister ("Secretary for Relations with States"). Above all, don't forget the "mousetrap clause". This frees the concordat from democratic control forever and lets you move on to the next one. Fortuna!
On his travels John Paul II took the advantages of being a visiting head of state and a religious leader, just as the Holy See exploits its dual status as country and church. He used his "state visits" paid for by his hosts, for "pastoral visits" where he evanglised at his World Youth Days, issued "moral guidance" on proposed laws and reined in "liberation theologians". Included is a list of the 104 trips of John Paul II. Another pope, Francis I, also has enough personal charisma to distract people from his conservative doctrines.
The papal visit of 1979 boosted Irish fertility after John Paul II exhorted the women of Ireland to be fruitful like the Virgin Mother. His real aim was to head off tentative moves by the Irish government to legalise contraception. This was eventually done, bit by bit, but the ban on abortion remained largely unchanged. It took a series of tragedies — and 39 years — for the Irish to decide to change a constitution that had enshrined the anti-abortion doctrine of the Catholic Church.
Vatican diplomats have the dual role of representing the Holy See to the nation where they are posted and of keeping an eye on the local Catholic Church. Vatican City is a hub for diplomats with accreditation limited, when possible, to conservative Catholics who may have a double allegiance: to their own country and to the Church. At the start of 2017 the Vatican had diplomatic relations with 182 states.
Concordats take the form of treaties between the Church government and a national government. This allows them, in most cases, to claim precedence over national legislation, and sometimes even over a country's constitution.
In (monist) countries where international treaties are at the top of a single hierarchy of laws, concordats have automatic precedence even over constitutions. In dualist countries, on the other hand, concordats must be incorporated into national law and their priority varies, though, even here concordats generally outweigh national laws.
The West's acceptance of the Berlin Wall indicated that Communism was going to remain unchallenged and was there to stay. This obliged the Church to find a way to begin negotiating with its sworn enemies ― without this looking like cynical political manoeuvring. The solution was ingenious.
This legendary cardinal-diplomat served under five Popes. Appointed roving ambassador in Eastern Europe in 1961, he took part in the 1975 Helsinki Conference, urging that religious freedom be monitored in Communist countries. The Soviets retaliated by putting a "bug" inside his statue of the Virgin.
Remarkably, Cardinal Tauran tries to justify the international status accorded to the Holy See by citing the Church's own Canon Law. He also outlines the different kinds of Church-state agreements, the aim of a concordat ("the salvation of the soul"), why concordats are desirable (they get around democratic control) and a checklist for the contents.
Archbishop Lajolo, former foreign minister of the Holy See, gives an update on papal diplomacy in the course of the two talks outlined here. He claims that concordats protect "religious freedom" and attempts to justify signing them with brutal regimes.

New-spec Honda engine to boost McLaren in Austria
Car upgrades
Honda chief Yusuke Hasegawa says he expects McLaren to show improved competitiveness in Austria this weekend as the Japanese manufacturer introduces its 'Spec 3' power unit.
The new unit was trialled by Fernando Alonso during practice in Baku, but with the Spaniard and team mate Stoffel Vandoorne carrying a plethora of grid penalties into the race, Honda opted to switch Alonso back to the older spec for the race while they carried on development.
Despite this Alonso went on to score his and McLaren's first points of the year, and with the new unit now available to both drivers in Spielberg, Hasegawa is confident more progress can be made.
"At the previous round in Azerbaijan, we were able to bank our first points of the year and I think it brought some brightness into our team," said Hasegawa.
"I am looking forward to seeing our performance in Austria" - Yusuke Hasegawa
"We also tested the updated PU, the Spec Three, with Fernando on Friday and we were able to confirm some progress in terms of the power output. We have proceeded with the mapping back at the factory utilising the data we collected, and we are going to bring the Spec Three for both drivers this weekend.
"I think we have some improvements in our competitiveness and I am looking forward to seeing our performance in Austria."
McLaren's racing director Eric Boullier added that Honda's improvements, coupled with further chassis updates, should help lift the team up the grid in Austria, which is less power-sensitive than the recent Montreal and Baku tracks.
"There's been no let-up in our development push all season, and, while the result in Azerbaijan was nothing to truly celebrate, it was a sign that we are working well and able to capitalise whenever an opportunity presents itself," said Boullier.
"With a number of improvements planned for the Austrian weekend, not least the proposed new Spec 3 power unit upgrade from Honda, I'm hopeful that we'll be in a position to get amid the other midfield runners and take a useful step forwards."

This article is the final installment of a three-part series on programming Neo4j with Java. Part 1, "Introduction to Neo4j," presented an overview of Neo4j, discussing why you should use it, what problems it solves, and how to set up a local Neo4j environment. Part 2, "Programming Neo4j with Java," reviewed two of the three primary interfaces for working with Neo4j in Java: the Core Java API and the Traversal API. This article addresses the third—and most powerful—way to work with Neo4j: the Cypher query language.
The Cypher query language allows you to use human-readable text to describe how you want the traverser to retrieve your results. A traditional Cypher query begins with a pattern that is used to match starting nodes, and then a set of relationships the traverser will follow to find your results. You might also add matching conditions, filters, and so on to fine-tune your results.
We found our starting node by searching for the node with the USER label and the name property of "Michael"; then we retrieved all of Michael's HAS_SEEN relationships and iterated over the results, displaying the movie names.
Using the Traversal API, we created a TraversalDescription, through which we told the traverser to traverse the graph using a breadth-first algorithm and follow all HAS_SEEN relationships to a depth of 1 (immediate children of the starting node). We invoked the TraversalDescription's traverse() method, passing it the Michael node to create a traverser, and then we iterated over the results.
A Cypher query usually begins with a match clause that tells the Cypher engine which node(s) to start searching. In this example, we want to find all nodes with the USER label and a name property of "Michael" (which is our Michael user). The match clause and the resultant nodes are enclosed within parentheses, and relationships are enclosed by square brackets. Relationships are named with a colon (:) prefix, and the direction is described using ASCII arrows, in the format shown in the following table.
Follow the specified relationship in both directions (inbound or outbound).
In this case, we start with the Michael node and follow both inbound and outbound HAS_SEEN relationships to a movie node. The Michael node is named "michael" so that we can access it later in the query, and the resultant node is named "movie", which we access in the return statement.
The return statement specifies the values we want to return—in this case, just the value of the movie's name property.
We execute our Cypher query by invoking the GraphDatabaseService's execute() method to obtain a Results object. The Results object follows the next()/hasNext() pattern of iteration; each result is a Map<String,Object>. This map contains a mapping of the requested keys (movie.name in this case), and the resulting value from the node. Note that the result is an object; our node property values are not restricted to just String values, but can include primitive types and arrays.
In this example, we have the same match and return clauses, but we added a new WHERE clause. The WHERE clause allows us to specify the condition(s) that must remain true to keep the result in the result set; for instance, checking the value of properties (such as user.age > 18), or, as in this case, checking that the result is not in the specified sub-query. Here we've combined the WHERE cause with the NOT directive, in order to reverse the logic.


Braintree Buddies beginnings is a true Archie's story of family and service. Twenty years ago, Caitlin Loiter, a student in Braintree High School's Project Prove Program for Special Needs Students had an idea. She may have been a Wamp but her heart was a Bishop's heart. Her mother was on the AW faculty and her brother, Ryan, was a Class of 2004 Bishop. Most afternoons and evenings, Caitlin could be found cheering on her brother in basketball and soccer games and school plays. And Caitlin developed a real passion for Campus Ministry activities, as well. It did not matter that she was not a registered student; she was part of the AWHS community in a unique way. Caitlin was and is a "doer". She often sees opportunities to make her fellow "special" friends recognized and accepted. She asked Campus Ministry Directors Judy Swett and Sr. Joanne Gallagher if she could bring her Project Prove classmates to Archie's every month to make new friends with AW students. Now 20 years later the tradition continues. So, if you happen to pass by the CM room when Buddies are meeting, you would hear music; see crafts being made, dancing feet, snacks being eaten and lots of smiling faces.
Another piece of Buddy history that is worth telling is that Braintree Buddies has enabled CM to thrive. In 2000, Braintree Buddies won a state wide contest that sought to recognize outstanding service initiatives. CM was awarded a $15,000 check with the monies to be used exclusively for future Campus Ministry activities. Buts that not all of the story. The checked was presented by Red Sox Star, Pedro Martinez who in the 2000 season was a Boston mega star. His appearance at Williams was kept a secret until the moment he appeared on stage in the auditorium. Pandemonium. No hyperbole in describing the moment, made even more special by Pedro being introduced, to the packed auditorium, in Spanish by Caitlin. Along with the introduction of Martinez, Caitlin explained to the assembly the importance of Special Needs students having friendships. It is one of those moments, in the long history of our school that represents the very best of being an Archbishop Williams student, alumni or supporter.
To celebrate the anniversary of Braintree Buddies, Buddies were given bright blue T-shirts that recognized the 20 year history. And Caitlin shared with all her special friends from Project Prove and Archie's that she hopes the Buddies will be gathering for 20 more years!

The Bluntness Kitchen Chefs: Meet Teresa Hansen
Cooking with cannabis, making your own edibles, or concocting your own medicated products has got to be one of the most rewarding hobbies.
This well-kept secret is out, and more people than ever are discovering the joys and nuances of bringing cannabis into the culinary space.
Bluntness Kitchen is quickly becoming the go-to online community and resource for people who are curious, want to share their cannabis culinary passion, or simply want to connect and learn directly from the top cannabis chefs in the U.S.
This profile series introduces said chefs to you one by one, and in today's entry we highlight the work of High Vibe Kitchen Collective owner Teresa Hansen: a seasoned chef with 12 years of professional experience to share with the cannabis community.
Bringing People Together with Food
Hailing from a small town in Southeast Arizona, Hansen was born into a food-centric family with a wide variety of experience in the culinary arts.
"My mother cooked many meals for our family of five, and I consider her to be a true OG when it comes to meal prepping – it's definitely inspired my own business," Hansen said.
"My grandfather was also a cook in the military, and he would always make his grandkids fresh donut holes and potato pancakes. He and my grandmother owned a restaurant together, where they served Midwestern traditional food inspired by their Wisconsin roots."
Hansen's mother worked at the family restaurant alongside her six sisters, catering to customers while their father played live music on his guitar for entertainment.
"It was this rich familial experience, and all of the stories and memories that came along with it really instilled in me how much food can bring people together. I pour this spirit into every dish I make to this day, and I will carry it with me through every culinary adventure I pursue," Hansen said.
Favorite Cooking Traditions: "I loved baking as a kid, and we would have a solid 3-4 days of baking – and making pancakes – as a family around the holidays. My grandmother made Dutch baby pancakes with sauteed apples and sour cream, and my grandfather always made his specialty potato pancakes and donut holes. To this day, those flavors always remind me of Christmas with my family."
These cherished family mementos encouraged Hansen to sign up for a nutrition program in her mid-twenties, which is where she first connected the dots between food, health, wellness, and cannabis.
"I was fortunate enough to have parents who were both open to cannabis use, so when I wanted to make my first infused dish – brownies – I turned to my mom for help," Hansen said.
Favorite Cannabis Cooking Hacks: "Decarboxylate! A.k.a., activate your weed before cooking or infusing it into oils. This allows the cannabinoids to bind to fats and increases potency. However, not decarbing allows your cannabis to maintain the terpene and flavor profiles, so there truly is an occasion for both scenarios – which is pretty cool."
Cannabis-infused brownies are easily the most common type of edible that people think of, and in Hansen's experience, most people still associate edibles and "munchies" with sweets and sugars.
"Because of that, I've focused on refining my cannabis infusions with healthy and nutrient-dense meals. I've had to blaze my own trail in this regard. However, my mentor Chef Payton Curry really introduced me to the canna-culinary scene in Phoenix, which allowed me to create CBD edibles for athletes, and I've evolved that into High Vibe Kitchen Collective," Hansen said.
The culinary company offers private dining experiences, catering, workshops, and other types of events centered on cooking with cannabis in a way that nourishes and heals, rather than simply masking the flavor of weed with mounds of sugar. Hansen aims for balance with each infused creation, offering a variety of healthy meals to clients for every occasion.
Chef Teresa's Signature Go-To Dish: "Filet mignon with an infused herb chimichurri and pomegranate slaw. I love this because it's Southwest inspired with a touch of Mediterranean. I like to complete it with a pureed potato or vegetable. It's just a perfectly balanced meal, in my opinion."
Hansen also puts a lot of thought into terpene balance, depending on what her clients or guests are looking for when they pursue her services.
She typically opts for limonene, caryophyllene, and pinene, and some of her favorite strains to cook with are Super Sour Diesel and the ever-classic Lemon Haze.
Biggest Learning Moment: "Knowing how to command a kitchen crew to carry out the vision of an event. It's one thing to be able to govern yourself and know your own skill set, but it's another thing entirely to have to coordinate with a staff, sous-chef, and event partners on large dinners."
Hansen has definitely drawn from every learning moment in her career thus far, utilizing that experience to empower and propel her business forward. With Bluntness Kitchen, she hopes to connect with like-minded cannabis chefs and infusion enthusiasts to share, grow, network, and inspire one another to build a stronger community.
What's Next for Chef Teresa: "We're currently working on a cookbook and 4/20 dinner for 2023. I'm also open to destination dining, serving retreats, and offering other unique experiences as we continue to grow."
To stay connected with Hansen, follow her on LinkedIn.
And for more cannabis cooking in your life...
