For all of the nicknames for New Orleans (the Big Easy, the Crescent City, etc.), it could also be called "Clarinet City." There are more professional clarinetists living and working in New Orleans than any other American city, except, perhaps, for Washington, D.C. because of all of the military bands stationed there. Of all the clarinetists in the city, only one is sometimes called "Lady Louis," or the "Female Louis Armstrong," or "Queen Clarinet." Doreen Ketchens has been performing in New Orleans, mostly on Royal Street, for decades. In addition to holding court as a street performer, Doreen tours internationally, has performed for four U.S. presidents, and regularly educates the youth of the world, spreading the culture and music of New Orleans. I sat down, virtually, with Doreen Ketchens in November 2020.
Ben Redwine: Good afternoon, Mrs. Ketchens, it is a pleasure to speak with you!
Doreen Ketchens: Hello! Oh, man, I just learned about you. We are clarinet cousins!
BR: Yes, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Let's jump right in! Will you relate your memories of growing up in New Orleans, what your perception of the city was, and when it was that you first became interested in music?
DK: I grew up in the Treme neighborhood. Jazz funerals and parades passed in front of my home several times each month. My school had an arrangement with the New Orleans Philharmonic where we would hear the symphony several times a year, so I had a pretty wide exposure to two genres of music, funky jazz street beats and classical music. I started playing clarinet in the fifth grade. It wasn't like a dream, I was really trying to get out of a history test! We had a pop quiz one day. It was a brutal test, each student was asked questions – you were either right or wrong, pass or fail. When the first question came to me, I got it wrong. So, I looked out of the window, like I did most days, and I prayed, saying, "God, if you can get me out of this test, I'll do anything!" Almost simultaneously, the principal spoke over the loudspeaker, and she said, "Anyone interested in joining the band, report immediately to the bandroom." I was "saved by the bell"! I remember running down the hall breathing a sigh of relief, having gotten out of the test. Back then, girls played certain instruments and boys played certain instruments. I sat on the side where the girls had congregated, and I saw a poster of a flute. I thought to myself, "Man, that instrument is pretty, I want to play that!" By the time it got to me, the flutes had been all accounted for, so I chose the next instrument on the poster. I didn't even know what it was called, it just looked pretty, so I chose the clarinet! None of my family members were musicians, but my dad was a member of a social aid and pleasure club, and he used to Second Line all the time.1 He played the stereo constantly, so I'm sure that's where my musical influence came from.
BR: Were you able to hear local musicians before you started playing the clarinet?
DK: Roger Lewis, with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, lived five doors away from me, and they used to practice at his apartment, so I heard them a lot! They would practice marching, and pass right in front of my house. At that time, there were four funeral homes within three blocks of our home, so Second Lines would pass constantly, passing my house and my school several times every week.
BR: There are some locally and internationally famous music educators associated with New Orleans. I'm thinking of Ellis Marsalis and Alvin Batiste. Did you have any contact with them when you were growing up?
DK: I used to call Alvin Batiste "Uncle Al," because I went to NOCCA (the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts) with his niece Rachel. I remember we were auditioning for the Louisiana Music Educators Association honor band, and I was feeling low because I didn't think I did very well on the audition. I was walking around, feeling sorry for myself, and I heard a clarinet being played in a room. I looked in, and there was Mr. Batiste. He caught my eye and said, "Come in!" We started talking about Rachel, music, and my audition earlier that day. He told me, "You know, you probably didn't do as badly in that audition as you think you did. You must have confidence when you are playing music!" Mr. Batiste was a rocket scientist. I don't care what you were talking about, he was a genius. He had ways of communicating which flew over your head, but you might actually catch a few stars, you know? So, he said, "You must think positively. How are you thinking?" I told him I was positive. He said, "There you go, you got it!" And, that was that. I won first chair in that audition! So, he was "Uncle Al" after that. I considered him my guardian angel, and it set the course for me to think positively for the rest of my life!
Ellis Marsalis was my ear training teacher at NOCCA where I was strictly a classical player. He used to call me Ms. Joseph, my maiden name. I wasn't interested in jazz at all. You know, the jazz clarinetists that I had heard, like George Lewis and others, I appreciated their tones and I respected them, but that was not my concept of tone at all. Their styles at the time were against what I was studying, trying to get a perfect classical clarinet tone. Now, in my class with Mr. Marsalis was another musician, Harry Connick, Jr. The only relief I got in that class was when Mr. Marsalis stopped trashing me in class to start trashing Harry! Mr. Marsalis had a way of looking straight through you when you didn't do what you were supposed to. If I had been raised by Mr. Marsalis, I would be the greatest clarinetist in the whole world, I'd know everything there is to know about music, and everything, because he had this way of pushing you and making you feel like dirt if you didn't live up to his standards. That happened quite often to me – they move pretty fast at NOCCA! I already thought everyone was smarter than me, because they came from prestigious schools, and I didn't think I belonged there. I made fine grades, and kept up musically, I just didn't think I was! He had this way of shaking his head – first he'd shake it up, then he'd shake it sideways, and I always thought, "Oh boy, here we go." He was amazing, but my life with him was challenging. I liked him as a person, and he liked me as a person, but, boy, he shook his head side to side quite often at me!
As I got older, I remember one of my first recordings with Kermit Ruffins. I was warming up, and Mr. Marsalis walked in. He passed by me, then backed up and said "Ms. Joseph, what are you doing here?" I said, "I'm playing on this recording session." He said, "You mean to tell me, all those years at NOCCA, you weren't interested in jazz, and now you're playing jazz? I've got to hear this!" I was very intimidated at that recording session. At that time, I wasn't really educated in improvisation, just playing by ear. I'd find a recording of the song we were supposed to play, and just play along, figuring out the tune, and what to play to sound good. I remember "Honey Child." It's a pretty simple song, but, for some reason, I just couldn't figure it out. I approached Mr. Marsalis, and said, "You know, I need some help. I can't figure out this tune. He's a rocket scientist too. He gave me some advice which I didn't really understand, then he said "retrogression." I still didn't understand him, but he said it again, then showed me on the piano. And, it was like a key opening a door, which made me able to play the song!
We were supposed to play with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) in March of 2020, which, of course, was postponed because of COVID. Back in January, I was recording a film for Branford Marsalis, Ellis came around a few times, and we had worked out what we were going to play – one song together, and one song as a solo with the LPO. I needed some rehearsals, I thought! I had rarely played with a symphony, and it had been a long time since I had played with him. So, I went to his house for the rehearsal. We were going to play Duke Ellington's "Caravan." "Caravan" has two bridges, and he played one, while I played the other. Of course, he knew all of that, but he said to me, "I kind of remember your bridge, but show me what you're doing." I said, "You want me to teach you something?" So, I showed him, and he nailed it, of course. He was just being kind to me, I think, and showing that sometimes the teacher can become the student. He was a special man and musician! Then he said, "But, you still have to practice!" I was really looking forward to that performance, and it really hurt me when he passed away
on April 1.

BR: Who were your musical idols when you were learning your instrument?
DK: Classical wise, Stanley Weinstein. He was my clarinet teacher, principal clarinetist with the New Orleans Symphony. Still to this day, nobody plays like Stanley. He had this sound! People tell me all the time, "Oh, your sound is so beautiful," but I'm really still chasing the Stanley sound! He was a perfectionist. If I knew then what I know now, I'd be a much better clarinetist and musician than I am today. I would have known what to concentrate on. You know, God protects little children and damn fools, and I did alright, I just didn't do as much as I could have. I'm not a child anymore, but I'm going to be okay!
I started playing jazz because I fell in love with a tuba player! Lawrence, my husband, had a jazz band, and all of the sudden, jazz wasn't so bad. I started to listen to jazz so I could learn the tunes and fit in with his band. I started listening to Louis Armstrong. He is my biggest influence. Some people call me Mrs. Satchmo, I guess because that concept is in my head. I'll hear something he plays, which I've heard thousands of times, and I'll think, "What? How did he do that?" Then, I listened to the clarinetists who played with him: Edmund Hall, Buster Bailey, Barney Bigard. Those cats were awesome too! Edmund Hall had this thing he could do, where it sounds like he was playing two tones at the same time. People today might hum while they play to achieve something similar, but I don't think that was what he was doing. Buster Bailey had a similar background to me, starting out with classical music, then learning jazz. Early on, I emulated Jerry Fuller, clarinetist with the Dukes of Dixieland. I would steal so many of his solos just so I could keep up with my husband's band. Eventually, I realized what he was doing, and it translated into me being able to improvise. I'd start out transcribing solos, then playing by ear, copying what those clarinetists were doing. I don't remember those solos now, but I'm sure that I still play snippets of them that creep into my improvisations.
BR: Do you have advice for a young musician who would like to pursue a career as a performer?
DK: It's a passion. Even if you're successful, it's not easy. You have to practice and be ready to perform at the drop of a hat. Listen to other people, find what stimulates you. Listen, listen, listen! There are so many good clarinetists out there, and they want the jobs too. Even if you get told no, keep pursuing your dreams. You need to find your voice so that your personality can come out in your playing. You don't want to sound like you're playing an etude book. This is for all types of music – even classical. You want to move the audience, you want to touch them.
BR: You are known in New Orleans as a "street musician," and you have performed on Royal Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans for many years. How long have you been performing on your "stage" on Royal Street?
DK: It's been 30-35 years, 4 days a week. Early on, 12 hours a day. We'd start at 9 in the morning and play until 9 or sometimes even until 11 at night! As we got older, we realized how to make more money in less time, so now, we play for about 5 hours a day. When it's really busy, sometimes we'll still play for 8 hours. It's crazy, but it's what you do!
BR: Please tell us about your band and its instrumentation.
DK: Dorian, my daughter has been playing with us since she was 4. She is our main drummer. That's a godsend! My husband, Lawrence, is a tuba player. My favorite band is a quintet – we add guitar, Dave Hammer, and trombone, Steve Wonker.
BR: There is a protocol for claiming a spot on the street in New Orleans. Now that you are established, do any other bands steal your spot?
DK: Yes, all the time! But, there is a great level of respect among street musicians. Since we've been playing for so long, if someone is in my spot, and I show up, they'll say, "Oh, Doreen, I didn't know you were coming today." There is respect among musicians.
BR: There is a lovely tradition in the music scene in New Orleans where bands allow and encourage other musicians, regardless of ability, to "sit in" with their band. When I have experienced this, the look on an amateur's face is priceless, as they seem to be having the time of their life. Do you have any thoughts about this cultural phenomenon?
DK: When I started, all I could do was play melodies. People would come to sit in, and they could play circles around me. We're very approachable, and give everyone an opportunity to play. It's their privilege to lose. Someone will come up and say, "Can I sit in?" And, we'll say, "Sure, you can play one or two songs." Sometimes we have to say, "Thank you, thank you," just to get them to not play any more. Sometimes people surprise you! We've had 80-year-olds sound like they are 17, and we've had 17-year-olds sound like they're 80! As long as people don't overstay their welcome. Sometimes having someone sit in is a pleasure, and other times, you're looking at your watch, waiting for them to leave!
BR: Please tell us about your formal music education.
DK: I started at Delgado Community College, and while there, I studied with George Jensen, a trumpet player at the New Orleans Phil, until he had a stroke and couldn't play anymore. He was a very gifted educator. He could communicate even what he couldn't demonstrate any longer. Then, I transferred to Loyola University, where I studied with Stanley Weinstein. I had a great scholarship, but as the years progressed, the tuition kept rising, but my scholarship didn't, so I started looking around, and was accepted at the Hartt School in Hartford, Connecticut, where I studied with Hank Lawson. He was principal clarinetist of the Hartford Symphony, but had Lou Gehrig's disease, and couldn't play anymore. He was a wonderful teacher and could explain what you had to do in a way which was so clear. I learned a lot from him! In the meantime, my husband's father passed away, then shortly after, my father passed away, so we moved back to New Orleans.
BR: How are you faring with this pandemic we are all suffering through, and how are you coping with the sudden change in livelihood and lifestyle?
DK: I always have saved for a rainy day, but I didn't know it would be a rainy year! I don't like using savings, as opposed to saving savings, but thank God we had savings! I've been teaching private lessons online, and I did weekly clarinet lessons on my YouTube channel, but we had to stop once the storms started – we are still cleaning up from that. It's been about a month since I did a YouTube lesson. We've been doing Facebook Live concerts from our dining room, where we ask for donations to our "virtual bucket." Most mornings, I get up in the morning, play some etudes, then we record some tunes. We haven't played on the street since March, but we have been playing. It's nothing like before the pandemic, but we are surviving.
BR: Tell us about the equipment you play.
DK: I recently got a Shine clarinet, a composite instrument from Korea. It plays really well, and I don't have to worry about the heat or cold.
Before that, I played Buffet and Selmer, but I played them so much that they fell apart. I have a gold-plated Selmer that I had pinned so many times my repairman said, "Doreen, you need to retire this instrument." So, I did. The weather really does wreak havoc on instruments. I was destroying these beautiful instruments in the weather, so I'm glad I found this composite clarinet.
I played Mitchell Lurie reeds in college. When my teacher moved, his wife gave me about 600 boxes of Mitchell Lurie 5.5 reeds. I still have some of those reeds. Only recently did I start looking for other reeds. I've been playing D'Addario Reserve 5 reeds too.
When I went to college, I didn't know what an A clarinet was, but I learned that I needed to buy one. I found a set of clarinets and they came with two Kaspar mouthpieces, which I fell in love with. I played those until 2018, but I played them so much that I wore indentations through the beak of the mouthpiece. So, I started to look for a new mouthpiece, and I saw the D'Addario marbled mouthpiece. I just thought it was so pretty, but when I played it, it sounded terrible until I changed reeds to 4.5, and then it was amazing. I've been playing it for a few months now.
BR: Thank you for sharing your life with the readers of The Clarinet! We look forward to a time when we can hear you perform again, whether it be on Royal Street, or at an International Clarinet Association ClarinetFest®!
DK: Thank you! I encourage readers to visit my website: doreensjazz.com, where you can learn more about me and where you can purchase recordings, and even get in touch with me yourself!
1 Second Line is a New Orleans tradition in which a "second line" of revelers follows behind a "first line" of parade participants and musicians.
Ben Redwine retired from the United Stated Naval Academy Band in 2014. He earned degrees from the University of Oklahoma (B.M.E.), Louisiana State University (M.M.), and The Catholic University of America (D.M.A.). He "retired" to New Orleans, where he performs frequently in both classical and jazz genres.

About us Leadership that has no need of a showy public image.

Leadership that has no need of a showy public image.
HIAG pursues the implementation of its strategy currently with the help of its 27 highly qualified employees, who are experts in the fields of engineering and architecture, site redevelopment and leasing as well as finance. They ensure HIAG's know-how and experience. When developing and maintaining our sites, we also rely on support from outside partners, who share our approach to property redevelopment and our philosophy.
Growth is key – but how?
Respecting and increasing the value of industrial properties in Switzerland leads to long-lasting success. HIAG's portfolio is one of the most significant in Switzerland. With our portfolio, we are setting standards throughout the country, promoting Switzerland as a workplace and boosting the prosperity of its regions.
For us site redevelopment does not mean the development of individual properties or real estate trading. Neither does HIAG identify itself as a real estate agency or general contractor. We are a "land bank" that invests with a timeline of 50 to 100 years and an eye to the long-term future. We maintain ownership of our properties and commit ourselves to maintaining and strengthening each individual site.
Switzerland is growing, as is its need for space. Consolidating space in a way that make sense and concentrated usage are becoming increasingly important topics. As we understand it, site redevelopment entails a process that is never really complete. HIAG consistently implements a corporate philosophy that is rooted in respect, dialogue and long-term sustainability.
As a company, HIAG pursues a growth strategy. We are interested in projects wherever it is imperative for the use of business sites to evolve and keep pace with industrial and societal changes. But we are opposed to growth at all costs and only pursue acquisitions that are in line with our philosophy and strategy.
Similarly to the provision of residential and commercial space at its sites, the HIAG Group's recent creation of HIAG Data aims to make a physical platform available to IT service providers throughout Switzerland in order to provide them with the best "location" to implement their cloud-based business models using the network of HIAG sites. HIAG Data is a fully owned subsidiary of HIAG Immobilien Holding AG that provides an intelligent IT infrastructure platform.
The roots of a family-run company founded by pioneers in the 19th century
HIAG draws on its 137 years of value-creating company history. It was founded in 1876 as a family-owned company in the timber industry. At the beginning of the 21st century, its real estate portfolio was hived off to create a separate group. Its industrial origins remain part of HIAG's success even up to the present day.
By redesigning the use of and further developing our own locations, we created the foundation of our industrial property portfolio. Acquisitions in the economic catchment areas of Zürich, northwestern Switzerland and Geneva have enabled us to develop a broadly diversified portfolio.

Google has announced a new scheme to try to boost its Google+ service by allowing people to email you who don't have your e-mail address.
It's good that the company is doing at least that much to protect Gmail users from a barrage of unwanted messages. But the fact that it keeps tying its weak social networking site into its stronger products seems desperate. Like Microsoft before it with its operating system and browser, Google is trying to use its dominant position in one field to push a lesser service onto unsuspecting users.
On balance, it sounds like this service had the potential to be convenient without being invasive—if Google had made it "opt-in" instead of "opt-out." As it is, my guess is that it's likely to annoy and confuse a lot of Gmail users who barely even know what Google Plus is and won't understand exactly what it is that Google's asking them. A Google spokesperson acknowledged that there's something to be said for "opt-in" policies from a privacy standpoint, but told me that Google felt it was better on balance to make it "opt-out" so that people could first see what it is they're opting out of.
Even if you do elect to open yourself up to anyone who has you in their Circles, your inbox may not take the hit that many are envisioning.
This is Google's agenda these days: annoy people into using their services, and using them the way Google wants you to.
Sounds a lot like how Facebook works too.
If it's going to suggest recipients even as you type, I suspect a lot of people are going to be sending information to people they didn't intend to receive that info.
It has the potential to be even more mistakenly used than the "reply all" option.
I disagree. All this sounds like is Google tying G+ Circles to Gmail Contacts. What would be nice is if they made the binding selective on the G+ side as well. Allowing you to specify that certain Circles are not to be linked and others are. The suggestion feature is the same as Gmail does now, it will just have a longer list to work with.
Thanks for the step-by-step, Bob. Easy as pie.
Yes, thanks for showing the instructions in screen shots!
I get tired of social media companies taking actions that require users to opt out versus opt in. Thanks for the easy to follow instructions on opting out.


The VPL Jersey Extension Dress is another favorite pick. Made from 100% polyester the stone blue jersey dress is designed with a drape effect in the front and back. Designed to have a flowing fit the unique dress features contrast trim, panel seaming, tonal top stitching and semi-attached striped panels at the bodice. The shoulders appear to have self tie knots and the front of the dress resembles a tank neck. Definitely an unique style the VPL Jersey Extension Dress from the collection of VPL Contemporary Dresses was found for 5.
The occasion is an important point while selecting the gown. If you are going for a wedding, again pastels are more in line and white is really a definite no. After all you don't want to compete with the bride!! If it's a black tie or white tie event, conservative hues and cuts for your gown could be more appropriate. If you are going to some place known for its fashion developments, better be prepared to flaunt a couple of yourself. If the place is more relaxed or orthodox, think twice before wearing anything that might shock the gathering; for instance a strapless deep cut dress.


Every time when it comes to large-scale cleaning, you turn into a lazy person and an avid collector. What should you leave and what will you get rid of? Where is the guarantee that this thing will not come in handy in the future? Will you gain enough weight to wear the jeans a size larger after you have bought them by mistake? Maybe you just need to fold these things nicely and hide behind the closet?
We suggest arranging "ridding days" every month to prevent trash from taking the place in your apartment. Do not forget that disorder increases the time of searching for anything greatly and negatively affects your mental state. You will need a firm determination to withstand nostalgia, as well as a clear plan that we have already taken care of. Here are the things that you need to get rid of regularly.
Get rid of the old magazines, even if "they are glossy" and "they are beautiful". Admit honestly that you will never become so bored as to sit down and re-read them. If these are high-quality publications, donate them to the institutions where people need to wait, or to a library. If the magazines contain a super-useful article, which you clearly need in your life, take a picture of it and save it on the computer. Those who love to save articles and beautiful pictures should have a separate folder for them. They will take less space than a stack of waste paper. In any case, you can put a few magazines in a folder in the toilet… But the rest of them should be thrown away.
Look through the checks for the things you do not plan to return, warranty cards for goods that have expired. If you are afraid that one day you will have to prove that you have paid for your conveniences during the past six months, scan the receipts and keep them on the computer.
Use the rule of two years: if you have not worn a thing for two years, get rid of it. Sell it online or find someone to donate it.
Conduct an audit of the home library. If you could not finish reading or you did, but you do not plan to return to the book, say goodbye to it. There are so many opportunities for exchanging or getting rid of books – from street libraries to literature websites.
It's not just about finding free time, but about your health: monitor the expiration date of medicines and vitamins. There will be no time to check whether the pills are suitable for diarrhea at a critical moment. Do not forget to pay attention to the instructions for drug disposal.
Makeup products also have a shelf life, although few people pay attention to such a trifle. Empty the shelves, the bag and the pockets of your jacket from old or unsuitable nail polishes, powders and lipsticks. Sometimes cosmetic brands offer promotions for the exchange of old cosmetics or used containers. MAS and Zoya launched similar projects in relation to Earth Day: they gave lipstick of any color for free for six empty containers from the used products of these brands.
Look through your fake jewelry and decide what should be repaired, what can be worn, and what has to go. The gold ring received as a gift from the grandmother, which does not suit you properly, should be melted into something you will wear rather than store for no good. The jewelry that is no longer fashionable or was bought recklessly is unlikely to be of any use to you.
Experts in organizing space advise to get rid of souvenirs and postcards, which you do not use. Maybe it's too cruel, and some things should be left in a separate place for them. Think about how old magnets, postcards and other small things can be used in the interior. The network is full of original ideas. Try to leave only special memorabilia. You do not even remember where most of the souvenir stuff in your apartment came from.
As soon as another diary is finished, it seems such a problem to throw it away. You say these words and never open it again. Review old notebooks, extract important notes or contacts and throw the notebooks to trash.

Unique archipelago could lose world heritage status if situation is not reversed.
The Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean are facing increasing pressure from tourism and have been placed on the United Nations list of endangered world heritage sites.
The UN declared on Tuesday that giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies unique to the archipelago were being threatened by "invasive species, growing tourism and immigration".
The warning was issued by the Unesco World Heritage Committee in Christchurch, New Zealand where it was meeting to consider new additions to the prestigious list as well as endangered sites.
"The number of days spent by passengers of cruise ships has increased by 150 per cent over the past 15 years," it said.
"This increase has fuelled a growth in immigration and the ensuing inter-island traffic has led to the introduction of more invasive species," it added.
A site is thretaened with losing its world heritage status if an endangered listing is not followed by conservation efforts.
The cluster of 19 volcanic islands about 1,000km off the west of Ecuador's coast, boasting a unique wildlife, was the first ever site to be placed on Unesco's list of World Heritage sites in 1978.
The islands also inspired the formulation of the theory of evolution by British naturalist Charles Darwin.
A major factor in the decline of the Galapagos ecosystem has been the introduction of non-native species including dogs, cats, goats and donkeys.
Growing tourism has attracted thousands of workers from the poor mainland to work in construction, restaurants and cruise ships, some bringing goats which compete for food with centenarian tortoises.
Over the past three years, UN workers teamed up with park authorities to eliminate as many as 80,000 wild goats.
Linda Cayot, a science adviser with Galapagos Conservancy, a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting conservation, said the UN listing was good for highlighting the islands' problems and would "push not only Ecuador but conservationist groups to support work there".
Maria Espinosa, the Ecuadorean foreign minister, said the committee's statement "will help the government's efforts to solve the complex problems of the Galapagos".
Unesco's decision came despite steps taken in April by Rafael Correa, the Ecuadorian president, to limit the pressure of tourism on the Galapagos archipelago.
Correa signed a decree declaring the islands to be "at risk and a national priority" and issued orders limiting tourist visits and residence permits for non-natives.
Graham Watkins, chief of the Charles Darwin Foundation research group, said invasive species threaten the future of large numbers of native plants and animals.
"Studies show that 60 per cent of the 1,880 local plants are threatened. We have discovered 490 insect species that have been introduced as well as 53 new invertebrate species, 55 of which are particularly invasive," he said.
"The first thing is to shore up the ecological barrier by limiting the ports of entry: one heliport, one port and a quarantine declaration," Watkins added.
endangered list because of the threat of poaching and a proposed dam on the Gambia river.
It is considering 45 applications from 39 countries to join the World Heritage Sites list, which contains 830 sites.

Swamped
A letter in response to Ian Frazier's article ( October 25, 2010)
Though Ian Frazier's piece focusses on the takeover by leaping silver carp, there are many non-indigenous species invading our aquatic resources ("Fish Out of Water," October 25th). Quagga mussels, which crept in from Ukraine, have silently spread across the bottom of Lake Michigan over the past decade, depleting the plankton in the lake so rapidly that there may be nothing left for the carp to eat when they break through the Chicago channel barriers. Separating the Great Lakes from the Mississippi could prevent many invasive species from crossing between the two sources, but measures to prevent new species from arriving and dispersing via ballast-water exchange from ships are entirely inadequate. There is no attempt to "vaccinate" against scourges such as mussels and carp; instead, the current response is to track and report on each "epidemic" as it occurs—and then issue cries of alarm when it's too late to stop it.

Land Board Vote Cuts $300 Million Out of Texas Public Schools Budget
A little-watched board that operates out of the General Land Office cast a vote last week leaving public schools $300 million short — and the lawmakers who put that money into the 2012-13 budget scratching their heads.
by Morgan Smith July 25, 2012 6 AM
In the waning days of the 82nd Legislature, state lawmakers came up with a plan to help cushion the blow of $5.4 billion in cuts to public education.
State Rep. Rob Orr, R-Burleson, proposed a constitutional amendment that he said could bring an additional $300 million to public schools. It unanimously cleared both the House and Senate. Orr's measure became Proposition 6, which voters passed in November.
But that money has hit a roadblock on its way to public schools — and what looked like an easy fix for hard-pressed budget writers last May has turned into a headache that awaits their return in January.
The amendment allowed the School Land Board, which operates out of the General Land Office, to put a portion of earnings from investments on real estate assets into the Available School Fund, which along with property and sales taxes helps pay for public education. Last week, the little-watched board that oversees the state's public school lands decided not to distribute the money. Commissioner Jerry Patterson, who sits on the three-member board, said it wanted to protect the funds for upcoming investment opportunities.
Usually the proceeds from the sale and management of public school lands would go into a $26 billion trust whose revenue feeds into what's called the Available School Fund. Proposition 6 made it so the School Land Board, if it chose, could bypass that step and put money directly into the fund.
"We anticipated this funding for public education," said Jason Embry, a spokesman for House Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio. "We're evaluating the impact on the budget and working with Commissioner Patterson to ensure there is no impact to public schools."
Whether lawmakers should have expected the money is a matter of dispute. But the $300 million made it into the budget as part of general funds used to support school operations, contingent upon the constitutional amendment's passage in November and the School Land Board's approval of the transfer. During the special session last June, the Legislature added a provision to the appropriations bill that reduced general revenue funding to public education by $300 million if the amendment passed. It was to be replaced with the same amount from the Available School Fund with the board's approval — but there was no provision to add that money back in if that didn't happen.
"I was told that there would be $300 million going into the Available School Fund. Everything was put in place to allow to that to happen," said Orr, who said the General Land Office agreed to transfer the money if the amendment passed. "I believe it needed to happen, so I'm not sure why it didn't."
Patterson said he did not recall committing to a transfer of the money and that his office had been unable to find "any evidence or documents or memos or testimony" that he did.
"I don't have any control over what was written into the budget or what was made contingent. I don't know who wrote that in there or why," he said. "Somebody wrote a contingency rider assuming the answer would be yes."
The backdrop to the conflict is a perennial tug-of-war between lawmakers and the two state boards that control the $26 billion trust known as the Permanent School Fund. Though the School Land Board manages the fund's real estate assets, it's the 15-member State Board of Education that decides, with some guidance from the Constitution, how much of the trust to pay out into the Available School Fund. Because it can free up money in other parts of the budget — for example, what happened with the appropriations bill in special session — lawmakers tend to want as much in the Available School Fund as they can get.
"Rather than trying a real solution to school finance they keep doing the little gimmicks and sleight of hands," said David Bradley, the Beaumont Republican who serves on the Board of Education's finance committee. "The Legislature is the problem. It's totally improper for them to be pulling that kind of money out of these trust funds to use for general revenue funding."
The $300 million at issue — a fraction of the $34 billion allocated to public education for the current biennium — could still end up getting to schools. The School Land Board could change its decision at any of its twice-monthly meetings. Or the money could also come out of the state's general revenue — a separate pot of money with different political strings attached — as a supplemental appropriation when the Legislature reconvenes in 2013. The $300 million would join a list of expenses postponed during the last session, including another $2.3 billion in deferred payments to public schools and an estimated $3.9 billion shortfall in Medicaid funding.
In the meantime, Rep. Rob Eissler, chairman of the House Public Education Committee, said the school land board's vote was unfortunate.
"Government doesn't always work the way we want it to," said Eissler, R-The Woodlands. "Legislative intent doesn't always follow through to the very end."

Texas man gets ten years prison for hate crime based on sexual orientation
From a Department of Justice news release
Chancler Encalade, 20, was sentenced yesterday to 10 years in prison for assaulting a man because of the victim's sexual orientation, announced the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Eastern District of Texas, and U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Dallas Division.
According to the plea agreement, Encalade admitted he, Nigel Garrett, and another co-defendant, used Grindr, a social media dating platform for gay men, to arrange to meet the victim at the victim's home. Upon entering the victim's home, the defendants restrained the victim with tape, physically assaulted the victim, and made derogatory statements to the victim for being gay. The defendants brandished a firearm during the home invasion, and they stole the victim's property, including his motor vehicle.
A federal grand jury previously returned an eighteen-count superseding indictment that included charges for hate crimes, kidnappings, carjackings, and the use of firearms to commit violent crimes. The indictment also charged the defendants with conspiring to cause bodily injury because of the victims' sexual orientation during four home invasions in Plano, Frisco, and Aubrey, Texas, from Jan. 17 to Feb. 7, 2017. Garrett, their other co-defendant, and Encalade subsequently pleaded guilty to hate crime charges from this indictment. Garrett was recently sentenced to 15 years in prison.
"The defendant targeted his victim with violence because of his sexual orientation, and used the internet to facilitate this crime," said Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore of the Civil Rights Division. "The Civil Rights Division will continue to vigorously prosecute hate crimes such as this one."
"The defendant not only broke in, but he did it specifically to intimidate individuals because of their sexual orientation," said U.S. Attorney Joseph D. Brown for the Eastern District of Texas. "This is the kind of case where federal and local law enforcement should come together, and that happened effectively here."
The investigation is being conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Plano Police Department, and the Frisco Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracey Batson of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Texas and Trial Attorney Saeed Mody of the Civil Rights Division.

There many types of cat toys you might have seen on TV which is commercialized every ten minutes. While thousands of those toys may have been sold, however there are some all time favourite toys that are so called the "best selling ones" these are none other than Mice, mice and mice!!
If your cat has been part of your family for a while, you might want to hit the entertainment department for your cat. Mice just never seem to fail at making your cat wanting to play with. In case you're getting a new kitty, you need to consider and include some of the necessity for the preparation of his/her arrival. So, here the bell rings for "cat toys".
Wirth a new cat or kitten, you don't yet know the presence of your fur baby, therefore it is best to get a variety of toys and decide which type of toys they like the best. Cat seem to like mice than other toy types, this is because of their natural instinct to hunt mice.
The overall best selling cat toys is the toy mouse that is itself not so simple. Cat toy might come in varieties of ways that might make your head spin for a while, now, there are tiny mice, realistic mice, mice that rattle, some have natural, bright colours, yarn mice, corded mice, yarn tails, tails with bells, corded tails, furry tails, long tails, some have catnip inside, and many more.
Your kitten needs a mixture of toys, mice, balls on a string and battery powered toys and getting your new fur baby assortment is a plus point, this lets them choose what type of toys they like the best.
Once your cat shows the preference to the type of their liking, you can seek for brand name and other variations of the toy. For ex: if your cat like mice, you could literally render a hundred variety like bright coloured or real looking mice, small and large mice, rattling mice, plush mice bells or rabbit fur, mice with features. After this, you kitty decides which ones sounds best for their liking.
This may seem quite simple and unappealing to human eye, but cats don't seem to tire of swiping things with their hunting small pieces of fur and paws. Of course, a cat's natural instinct is to hunt and stalk and so for your cat to spend all day indoor, he/she might find outlet for these tendencies.
This is another relatively inexpensive option that is just well and can easily let your cat get lost. However just like the wand, a ball allows them to exercise pouncing and hunting instinct. Typically, most cats prefer balls that make some noise or even jungle. Now, playing with a ball is a simple game and can be played single. This makes your cat to be stimulated while you are out and also you can join in when you are at home.
To speak the truth, a cloth toys that does nothing will not entertain your cat for very long time. Generally a cat prefers toy that moves and so if you're about to buy small cloth toys you need to consider it catnip. This is highly recommended for you so that when cat looks at catnip toys they may consider it refillable as the scent will not last long. These types of toys can be brought at a cheap price and so you may find it less time consuming to buy new toys rather than fresh catnips.
There are some other toys too which are recommended for you; one like the coiled spring. This is a wonder toy for swiping and batting and you can find some scratching posts that have these kinds of toys attached. It will feel attractive to cats and will definitely encourage them to use the spring toys as well as scratching post.
Laser pointers are some of the latest cat toys to immerge and can appeal as per the individual temperament of your cat. Those who enjoy laser points will really love them for long time. On the other hand, there are some cats who don't like laser pointers as interesting. One goodnews is that this can be bought at an affordable price and so it need not cost a fortune to discover whether or not it seem like fun.
As an owner you must know the likes and dislikes of your cat. Either its mice, laser points, scratching posts or any other thins, you must train them to get used to it and help them spend long house with their toys. These playing toys will really keep their mood happy and enjoyable for long hours.

University of Pennsylvania researchers made a new discovery about the impact of periodontitis.
Periodontitis often causes dysbiosis, which is a two-fold manipulation of the human immune system that diminishes the immune system's effectiveness.
The information appears in the journal Cell Host & Microbe. The periodontal bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis impacts two pathways while eliminating immune cells and maintaining their ability to produce inflammation. This saves the neutral gum bacteria from immune system clearance.
But it also makes way for dysbiosis, producing bone loss and inflammation. The broken down products feed into dysbiosis. The resulting cycle, which is buoyed by the combination of inflammation and dysbiosis, worsens periodontitis.
This bacterium, known as a keystone pathogen, could play a role in irritable bowel disease, colon cancer or other inflammatory diseases. The issue with this bacterium is that it can't cause the disease by itself. It needs other, nonpathogenic bacteria to produce the inflammation.
The goal of this study was to determine why molecules involved in P. gingivalis resulted in disease. Their research concluded that there could be new targets for periodontitis treatment and that a bacterial strategy may be in the mix for other diseases that involve dysbiosis.

Crackdown Drives Clerics Of Zimbabwe's Christian Alliance Into Hiding
Some senior members of Zimbabwe's Christian Alliance, a coalition of church leaders which has provided humanitarian assistance since 2005, have gone into hiding while others have fled the country after being threatened by state security agents, members said.
Christian Alliance members who were arrested and later released by authorities two weeks ago said they continue to be menaced for speaking out and trying to help the victims of political violence through the provision of shelter, blankets and food, among other items, as Harare has forbidden them from providing direct humanitarian aid through outreach.
Pastor Lawrence Berejena, a Christian Alliance member now in hiding, told reporter Carole Gombakomba of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe that such persecution stems from allegations the clerics campaigned for opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai in March elections.
Bishop Trevor Manhanga, president of the Evangelical Association of Zimbabwe, said his members have nothing to fear because they are working within the confines of the law.
Another member of the Evangelical Fellowship, Pastor Alexander Chisango, told VOA that the persecution cited by Christian Alliance members does not only target church leaders, but anyone considered to be supporting a particular political party.
Chisango confirmed he had heard reports of the persecution of some church leaders, mostly in rural areas, but he said it is the role of the church to bring peace to the country.

Workday Stock Is A Good Pick To Realize Gains
Trefis Team
Great Speculations
Contributor Group
Close-up of logo on facade at headquarters of software company Workday in Pleasanton, California, ... [+] March 26, 2018. (Photo by Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images)
The shares of Workday (NASDAQ: WDAY) have gained 27% since February 2020, almost comparable to the market leader Automatic Data Processing (NASDAQ: ADP). In recent years, Workday's revenues have grown at an annual rate of 26% pushing investor confidence in the stock. Interestingly, Workday's current valuation multiple (P/S) stands lower than pre-Covid levels as observed in late-2019 despite the continued growth, even during the pandemic. Comparing a slew of factors such as historical revenue growth, returns, and risk, Trefis believes that Workday stock is poised for more gains. Workday has a higher revenue growth expectation than ADP, indicating Workday's improving market share in the payroll processing industry. Our dashboard Automatic Data Processing vs. Workday: Industry Competitors, But Workday Is A Better Bet details the fuller picture, parts of which are summarized below.
1. Revenue Growth
Workday's growth has been much stronger than ADP in recent years, with Workday's revenue expanding at an average rate of 26% per year from $2.1 billion in FY2018 to $4.3 billion in FY2021, versus ADP's revenue which grew by 4% per year from $13.2 billion in FY2018 to $15 billion in FY2021.
Workday recognizes a single operating segment as cloud applications, with Subscription services and Professional services as two revenue categories. Revenues from subscription services have more than doubled in the past four years and account for almost 85% of the company's top line.
Subscription services revenue include recurring fees from cloud applications, which are used for financial management, spend management, human capital management, and analytics.
ADP is the industry leader in the payroll processing business with almost a 16% market share in U.S. Thus, its business growth depends on macroeconomic factors such as GDP, employment statistics, wages, etc.
ADP categorizes its services into two parts, Management Solution (Employer Services) and Professional Employer Organization. Management Solutions segment provides key human capital management services including payroll processing, tax administration, HR solutions, and retirement services. The PEO (professional employer organization) is a comprehensive employment administration solution where employees working for a client are co-employed by ADP and the client (known as worksite employees).
ADP's Employer Services and Professional Employer Organization segments contribute 70% and 30% of total revenues, respectively.
While Workday's strong growth has been driven by its cloud service applications, ADP has also been focusing on cloud business in recent years. (related: Should You Sell ADP Stock Post Earnings?)
2. Returns (Profits)
Given strong top line growth, Workday has been re-investing in its business by expanding its service offerings and workforce in recent years. Whereas, ADP has been consistently providing returns to investors as dividends and share repurchases.
In FY2021, Workday reported an operating margin and net income margin of -5.8% and -6.5%, respectively. However, the operating cash margin stood at 30% as share-based compensation expenses accounted for 22% of the total operating costs. With $1.26 billion of operating cash, the company incurred $253 million of capital expenses and invested $988 million in marketable securities.
In FY2021, ADP reported an operating margin and net income margin of 22% and 17%, respectively. The company generated $3 billion of operating cash on revenues of $15 billion at an operating cash flow margin of 20%. Subsequently, it invested $178 million in property, plant & equipment, repurchased $1.4 billion of common stock, and paid $1.6 billion in dividends.
Trefis
3. Risk
Give the relatively low net debt obligations of Workday and ADP, both stocks do not have significant downside risk due to financial leverage.
In FY2021, Workday reported $1.8 billion of total debt and $2.5 billion of cash & marketable securities on the balance sheet.
Similarly, ADP reported $3 billion of total debt and $2.5 billion of cash & cash equivalents on the balance sheet.

Q: Emacs IDO (Interactively Do Things) for vim Is there a vim equivalent of Emacs' ido mode (video)?
What I mean is that I want to type
:e a

and it should show me a shortened list of files starting with 'a'. When I type b, it would automatically update this list to show only files starting with 'ab'.
Vim's wildmenu does not cut it as it is not updated interactively as I type (as it is in Emacs). I have to constantly press <TAB> for it to update (after I type anything).
In other words I'm looking for something similar to CtrlP, but something that would integrate itself with vim's command line and would work for all cases whenever wildmenu could be/is used (not something invoked via a special shortcut).

A: Just like with emacs, fuzzy/as-you-type completion doesn't exist in vim so you need a script. Maybe vim.org has what you want?
SkyBison would be close to what you want: it is halfway between IDO and CtrlP.
https://github.com/paradigm/SkyBison

A: There is nothing built into Vim that does what you want.  It is possible someone has attempted to write a Vim plugin that adds this behavior, but I did not spot anything with a quick Google search.
Edit: There are some plugins for in-buffer, as-you-type auto completion, but I am not aware of any that work on the :-command line.

A: I believe FuzzyFinder will do what you want:
