Today, on 9 February at the European House for Culture in Brussels, Ljubljana Festival and Batumi MusicFest presented their 2016 programmes. Colleagues from the cultural sector and policy representatives attended the event to listen to the sneak peeks given by the festival's artistic directors, Darko Brlek (Ljubljana) and Elisso Bolkvadze (Batumi). Ljubljana Festival will take place 27 June until 13 September; Batumi MusicFest will run from 17 until 22 September.
The audience was welcomed by Tamar Loladze, Second Secretary, Cultural Relations Embassy of Georgia to the Kingdom of Belgium, Mission of Georgia to the EU; Darko Brlek, EFA President and Artistic Director of the Ljubljana Festival; and Hugo De Greef, EFA Interim Secretary General.
Hugo De Greef said: "The European Festivals Association (EFA) is delighted to welcome two of its almost 100 members to Brussels. For EFA it is important to support its members in bringing their voices and their artistic endeavours to an international audience."
The 64th Ljubljana Festival – the longest-running and most important festival in the region – will host numerous renowned Slovenian and foreign artists from the spheres of music, opera, dance and musicals. It officially begins on 27 June at beautiful Kongresni trg (Congress Square) with a concert by renowned bass-baritone Erwin Schrott.
This year's festival features world-renowned orchestras and conductors: the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by Daniele Gatti, the Czech Philharmonic conducted by Jiří Bělohlávek and the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra conducted by Lin Daye. Ljubljana will also host Maestro Valery Gergiev. Renowned soloists Simon Trpčeski, Denis Matsuev, Katia and Marielle Labèque on piano and violinists Dmitry Sitkovetsky, Roby Lakatos, Lana Trotovšek, Janez Podlesek, Hillary Hahn and Xi Chen will enrich the festival evenings. Wonderful opera performances will feature, in addition to Erwin Schrott, the tenor Piotr Beczała, the Slovenian National Opera and Ballet Theatre Ljubljana performing Verdi's Otello and the Slovenian National Opera and Ballet Theatre Maribor performing Saint-Saëns' opera Samson and Delilah. The ballet programme will feature fantastic performances by some of the world's leading dance companies. These include the ballet Confucius performed by the China National Opera and Dance Drama Theatre, and the ballet Cello Suites (In den Winden im Nichts) performed by the Ballet Company of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. The Eifman Ballet from St Petersburg returns to the Ljubljana Festival with a performance of Up and Down, which will close the 64th Ljubljana Festival on 13 September. There will be two musicals at this year's festival – Vesna and Mamma Mia!
This year, for the first time, the Ljubljana Festival is holding an event in Brussels, tonight at 8pm at Bozar, which will feature a crossover concert by the band Laibach and the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra. The concert will be on the festival's programme on 2 September.
Thirty-five years after its founding, Laibach (which is one of the historical names of Ljubljana) is the most internationally acclaimed band to have come out of the former communist countries of eastern and central Europe, and is one of the most mysterious and prophetic bands, but also one of the most authentic. It was started in the year of Tito's passing in the industrial town of Trbovlje, in the so-called "revolutionary-red" part of Slovenia. Laibach has consistently resisted any attempt at labelling and refuses to be categorised as "rock", "pop", "techno" or "industrial". In August 2015 they were the first band of its kind to perform in inaccessible North Korea. Numerous documentaries have been filmed and books written about them, their bold music has accompanied several theatrical productions, and they have featured in several Hollywood blockbusters (Spider-Man, The Blair Witch Project, Iron Sky and the series Alias). Tonight's programme at the Henry Le Boeuf Hall at the Bozar Centre for Fine Arts is a cooperation between Laibach and the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra. The young Slovenian composer Anže Rozman arranged the score for the orchestra, which will be conducted by Simon Dvoršak. The audience will hear new interpretations of Laibach songs, including songs from the Sound of Music and Spectre projects, and also from the 2003 album WAT, which address the refugee and migration crisis in Europe and the Middle East.

The Incendiary Rock of the Great Tadini!
Tadini is your new rock hero from the West Coast scene. Armed with a guitar, a phalanx of Moogs, the odd Mellotron and a theremin set to 'stun', he is a one-man army of sound, drawing deeply from the musical wells of Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the maelstrom of rhythms and melodies from his native Brazil. Turn up the volume to 13, switch on the lava lamp and get your orders in at the bar, this a glorious nod to the rock giants of old and for first glimpse at a modern musical magician at work.
Born in Brazil to Italian parents…then going to a Chinese school where he learned to speak Mandarin…now settled in Los Angeles, it's little wonder that Lucas Tadini's music is a journey not only through his musical influences but also the sounds of the cultures he has been exposed to. After studying at the world-famous Berklee College of Music, Tadini has played in bands such as TüR and Mais 55 from his hometown of Sao Paolo and Skunk Oil in LA, experiences with have allowed him to hone his skills as a singer, keyboardist and guitarist, as well as his production and arrangements, not to mention the opportunity to play with such legends as Jota Quest, Seu Jorge and drummer supreme, Kenwood Dennard, as well as the world-renowned conductors, Henry Leck and Joao Carlos Martins.
The Arsonist is Tadini's debut solo single, the sum combination of his musical journeys so far and the first teaser from his album, Collective Delusion, to be released later this year and who better than the man himself to explain the meaning behind it:
"It's the first song I wrote for the album. It is about setting one's old self on fire (therefore the arsonist) in order to start fresh, kind of like a Phoenix. It symbolizes the beginning of my solo career".
Written as he relocated from Boston to Los Angeles, it is a universal message to accept and embrace change. Naming influences as diverse as The Beatles, Vincent Van Gogh and his faithful cat, Lucifer, Tadini is a multi-cultural, musically astounding phenomenon, the breath of fresh air the world so desperately needs.

The Adventures of Ryan Takahashi
And other writings by a Seattle Asian-American guy

For Female Bodybuilding Fans, Workout Videos are Our Porn
The next generation of female bodybuilding, Shannon Courtney.
We all have our own vices.
Some of us like to gamble. Others like to party "in da club" till the wee hours of the morning. There are some who enjoy high-fat and high-sugary foods a little too much. How about smoking? Or excessive drinking? Or, *gasp* hitting the Mary Jane a few times here and there?
Unless you're an ascetic monk living high in the Tibetan mountains, most of us have vices that we're either proud of or wish would remain a secret. But let's face it. Unless your vice hurts someone else, what's the true harm? I, for example, am not one to claim to be a police officer of "outstanding character."
Another popular vice that many of us share is pornography. Whether we're talking about late night pay-per-view skin flicks, dirty magazines, snuff films, or good-old-fashioned Internet porn, we all know what we're dealing with. Porn is everywhere in our society. On the cover of magazines, in popular movies, in clothing store advertisements, in music videos…everywhere. Not just hidden underneath your mattress or behind the playground monkey bars. Both softcore and hardcore porn (however you define either term) is saturated in our culture.
It's so saturated, we sometimes forget what we're seeing. Most of us would point to a Jenna Jameson video and say with definitive confidence, "That's porn!" However, we might look at a Beyoncé music video and say, "Well, it's not quite porn, but it is quite risqué. I would say…that's NOT porn." Fair enough. Everyone has the right to hold their own standards.
The real definition of "pornography" is as follows: "Printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings."
This photo of Lisa Cross might give me a heart attack if I stare at it long enough. But I'd die a happy man.
Basically, porn is media that's intended to turn you on. It doesn't have to be explicit. It doesn't even have to be visual. Written erotica can constitute as porn if we assume a wide all-inclusive definition. Are risqué music videos or provocative fashion ads intended to sexually arouse you? Well, not primarily. They're intended to persuade you to buy record albums and clothing. But if the adage that "sex sells" is true – which nobody would argue it isn't – certainly eliciting an erotic response is one of the tactics used to convert advertising media to sales.
Alright. We've established that porn is everywhere. We've also discussed that porn can manifest itself in a variety of ways, not all of them explicit. Porn can also have objectives outside of just turning you on, such as convincing you to open your wallet and buy something. Other objectives could include persuading you to think about a social issue in a different way (nude PSAs by PETA, anyone?) or inspiring you toward self-improvement (pole dance aerobics isn't just for exercise, people!).
This all ties in to female muscle fandom, trust me. What, did you think this post would be totally unrelated to what my blog is primarily about? I start with this simple question:
As a female muscle fan, what turns you on the most?
Many of us would answer with traditional responses like FBBs masturbating, FBBs having sex with scrawny guys (or each other), FBBs dancing around in the nude, FBBs glamorously posing in the nude, etc. Essentially, we get turned on by FBBs doing things in from of the camera that traditional looking women also do in mainstream porn. But if there's one thing I understand about female muscle lovers, it's that we're especially turned on by something else entirely, something that's not necessarily X-rated.
Workout videos.
Or, more specifically, videos of female bodybuilders doing what they do best: building their bodies at the gym.
When I say "workout videos," the image that probably immediately pops into your head is that of what Denise Austin and Jane Fonda created in the 80s and 90s. Or maybe those old-school Tao Bo videos by Billy Blanks. Ah, yes. Those were the days. The good old days of cheesy music, bad camera angles, bright yellow stretch pants and enough sweat to fill a small lake. I can't imagine what it must've smelled like in those studios. Yuck.
But, no. These are not the type of workout videos I am referring to. Instead, I'm referring to amateurish or semi-professional looking videos of female bodybuilders pumping iron in the gym. They could be shot on a cell phone camera, a store bought camcorder, or perhaps an actual professional-quality video camera. They could be shot for Flex magazine, Bodybuilding.com or for the FBB's own personal brand. Quality notwithstanding, the idea stays the same: video footage of beautiful athletes doing what they do best.
For female bodybuilding fans, workout videos are our porn. They are what turns us on the most. They titillate us unlike any other media. We find them more arousing than videos that are explicitly sexual in nature. Sound strange? Let me explain what I'm talking about.
As female bodybuilding fans, we don't just love the final product. Yes, of course images of Alina Popa or Lisa Cross looking ripped and contest-ready can be a divine spectacle to behold, but we're just as interested in the process it took them to look that way in addition to drooling over how they eventually look.
What's arousing about female bodybuilders isn't just that they look so damn sexy, it's also the fact that they have to bust their butt in order to look that good. There's something about the strenuous nature of bodybuilding that makes these athletes so remarkable. Female bodybuilders are especially intriguing because their looks are both unconventional and supremely difficult to attain (and maintain).
This is why a grainy 90-second clip shot on an iPhone of a female bodybuilder, completely covered in sweat pants and an old t-shirt, squatting 300+ pounds is way more erotic than watching two silicone-enhanced teeny boppers sucking on each other's clits with awful automated music playing in the background. If I were a sheltered teenage boy, the latter might excite me like no other. But as an adult, that stuff bores me to death. It's unexciting. I'd even go as far as to say that it's disgusting.
Watching two nameless 18-year-old women engaging in sex acts with total lack of interest or passion while moaning from an orgasm so fake it belongs in a can of Velveeta cheese isn't erotic. It's dumb. It's an insult to my intelligence. It's sophomoric. It's a shame to the word "erotic." I'm not necessarily knocking on those who actually like this sort of thing (I'm just kidding – I am knocking on you!), but get with the program, people! Doesn't authenticity count for something anymore?
Ah, yes. Now we get to the heart of the matter. Authenticity. Workout videos are authentic. I've seen a fair share of fake or staged workout videos, but the ones that are real are so fun to watch because it gives you a brief glimpse into the process it takes to transform a woman's body from "sexy" to "All-Powerful Goddess."
If more women looked like Mavi Gioia at the gym, I'd go there every single day of my life.
But it's not just about the process of becoming a bodybuilder or the authentic nature of these videos that excite us so much. There's something unspeakably tantalizing about watching a woman work hard to achieve her dreams. Maybe it's because a lot of us guys aren't accustomed to seeing women lift heavy at the gym. There's an Internet meme that says that "A girl in the gym is much hotter than a girl in the club." I would agree with that wholeheartedly. But why do I feel that way exactly?
Maybe it goes back to the meritocratic nature of our society. We love female bodybuilders because they earn their beauty. Not every one of us is born with a beautiful face or flawless skin. But we can (to an extent) control the rest of us. A bodybuilder does exactly that. They are in complete control of their physical selves, even to the point that it becomes an obsession. A ripped body is something you earn with your sweat and labor. Mother Nature may not have given you other natural physical gifts, but if you want six-pack abs, you can go out and get it. If you have the willpower to do whatever is necessary to get it, of course.
Another reason why we love watching women lift is because it goes against our collective history. Historically, men were the laborers and women were the caretakers. Men were expected to do all the heavy lifting, both literally and figuratively. The fact that men are naturally stronger than women explains a lot of this. But these gendered roles still in many regards persist to the present day. So when we're in the gym – and I should hurry up and say that the "workout video" thing could also apply to stealing peeks at women lifting at the gym – and we see a cute girl deadlifting more than her own bodyweight, it's pretty damn sexy to watch. Very damn sexy.
Breaking the old rules of male/female roles? Making an effort to sculpt a sexy body instead of relying on plastic surgery, deceptive clothing (padded bras, for example) and heavily caked-on makeup? Yes, please!
Workout videos, and seeing up-close-and-personal women lifting heavy weights, are without a doubt our porn of choice. Regardless of the production values or quality of the video footage, this excites us more than anything. Here's an example:
On Lisa Cross' Facebook page, she's uploaded a short video that illustrates exactly what I'm talking about. It's a ridiculously short clip of her squatting a ton of weight on a hack squat machine. In the brief 41-second video, we can hardly even see Lisa. We can't see her face. Nor her full figure. In fact, she's as completely covered as a nun. No sexy revealing clothing. Nothing glamourous happening here. But she's lifting a jaw-dropping amount of weight. And you can clearly hear her grunting as she squats up and down. Her heavy breathing isn't exactly orgasmic, but its resemblance is impossible to ignore. But most important, you truly get the sense that she's working her tail off. This isn't showing off for the camera. This isn't staged. This isn't theatre of any sorts. This is authentic. She's actually working out with the real intent of getting stronger and bigger. This is the master artist in action. She didn't earn my nickname for her, "Lisa Cross, the British Bombshell," just by sitting on her butt, watching TV and eating potato chips all day long. She's a beautiful sexy Goddess because she's willing to do the dirty work a lot of us aren't too keen to do.
That might be the best explanation yet. The Dirty Work. Porn videos are also known as "dirty videos" because they show people engaging in unclean, filthy sex acts (as dubbed by certain folks). But ironically, workout videos of FBBs doing the dirty work of heavy lifting, grunting, sweating and torturing themselves for the sake of self-improvement are way more sexually exciting than watching two nameless bozos who can't act have unemotional sex with each other. That stuff is a dime a dozen. Witnessing an elite female bodybuilder work on her craft is like watching Laurence Olivier perform Shakespeare, Luciano Pavarotti sing opera or Itzhak Perlman play the violin. You cannot look away from watching the elites do what they do best. The rest of us mortals can only stare and passively watch.
To reiterate a previous point, men who love muscular women aren't just interested in the final product. We're also interested in the process it took to achieve that final product. Workout videos, and other related media, excite us for reasons we can't fully explain. Watching that video clip of Lisa Cross – and for the record, you can hardly even tell it's actually Lisa! – genuinely gives me the chills. It makes my heart skip a beat. It's a feeling I can't explain, but every female muscle fan knows what I'm talking about. But it's not just this particular clip. It's the thousands of others like it.
Alina Popa doing leg lifts. Debi Laszewski doing lateral pulldowns. Colette Nelson bench pressing. Brandi Mae Akers doing bicep curls. Lindsay Mulinazzi deadlifting. Jana Linke-Sippl killing her arms on a bicep machine. Shannon Courtney punishing her rock-hard quads at the gym. Mavi Gioia doing triceps extensions. The list goes on. And these are videos that I've seen. No doubt there are countless more like them out there on the Internet ready for us to drool over.
The larger point is that female muscle fans love strong women for a variety of reasons. It's not just about lust or appreciating a certain aesthetic. Female bodybuilders are unique in so many ways. They have a quality to them that's almost impossible to describe, but equally impossible to ignore. Once you're hooked, you instantly "get it." You understand their appeal and even begin to wonder why you didn't notice them earlier. I honestly cannot believe why I didn't become attracted to FBBs sooner. I really started to notice them when I was 18 and a freshman in college. And how did it start? I was researching workout videos online and stumbled upon amateurish clips of beautiful women lifting at the gym.
Well, viola! There you go. For many of us, including me, workout videos were what got us hooked in the first place. So there's a reason why they hold a special place in our hearts. The element of sentimental value is also at play here. Maybe that explains a lot. Maybe there's something about witnessing a beautiful woman exert herself at the gym that lights a fire inside our souls. It begins the "Madness," as the expert blogger Female Muscle Slave puts it.
Come to think of it, calling workout videos "porn" cheapens what they mean to us. "Porn" is what people view to fulfill a momentary sexual urge. Workout videos, on the other hand, have a more spiritual component attached to them. It's like a music lover watching Sir Georg Solti conduct Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Or a great philosopher delivering a lecture on the state of the universe. It's poetry in motion. Watching a strong, muscular woman lift is like a religious experience, or to put it in more easy-to-digest secular terms – it is art. Female bodybuilders are artists. And watching them lift is like watching a painter paint, or a sculptor sculpt, or a musician compose.
Female bodybuilders are masterpieces of human achievement. And witnessing them transform into who they are is as enticing as it gets. Just ask any one of us. All we can do it sit back, relax and indulge in the captivating beauty on full display before our eyes.

Can you imagine working on the video crew of one of those ? A bunch of us would look like characters out of a Tex Avery cartoon turned flesh & blood !
They wouldn't have to pay me, I'd pay them. 🙂

If cartoons could come to life, I'd be first in line to meet one of those Female Muscle Growth ladies!
Hmmm. What is the difference between a " fitness model " & A FBB ? I have never been 100 % clear about that. I've seen some fitness models who don't really look like they're in it for serious competition, but still have more muscle definition than the average male or female. There is clearly a difference, but the definitions elude me……
@zathra
FBB stands for Female BodyBuilder…
So, basically, a fitness model is much less muscular than an actual FBB…
A " Fitness model " is REALLY more for " show ", then.
I was looking at photos of Jenny Poussin, for instance, she looks in pretty good shape, but you don't see many photos of her actually lifting weights, flexing, using a treadmill or other exercise machine. As opposed to a person like Ronda Rousey.
Dear Ryan,
great post, aus always, and 100% true. 🙂
But not 100% complete, as far as I am
concerned.
Because the aspect of displaying their awesome strength was not covered explicitly enough. I would say many of us absolutely love the sheer power of the ladies, especially when shown with moving heavy weights. I could freak out with a certain, uh, "greed", when I see them doing this.

I think we hetero males who love female muscle are the last sociosexual group to "come out", or maybe we haven't yet. We get haters calling us fags on video sites (esp. YouTube), but no MSM attention comparable to gays (okay, 10% of the population there) or transgender people (a tiny minority for sure).
As a kid, maybe 8 or 9, I was stunned by a small file photo in the magazine section of the local (Toronto) Sunday paper. The mocking caption was "She's trying to prove that women are stronger than men." But the photo itself showed a woman in a weight-lifting singlet holding an Olympic-style barbell in a position that wasn't quite a freeze-frame in the midst of a snatch or C & J. Although she had one leg bent in front and other thrown back to brace her, she was leaning back from her hips and holding the weight as though she were doing an incline press, but without the support of the bench. I instinctively recognized the great strain this was putting on many of her muscles, and that's what turned me on even more than her muscularity. Hey, this was well before steroids hit the scene, and not even male bodybuilders could bulk up the way they do today.
But I just couldn't get this woman out of my mind. How did she get so strong, in an era when that was unheard-of? How did she arrange to pose for this photo? How did she find the courage to persist in the face of social disapproval? How did she support herself while she was training?
Somewhere along the line there was an epiphany, when muscular women began to realize that we are out here and constitute a market for the kind of porn you so eloquently describe. Now, every muscular woman has a choice, just the way every conventionally pretty/sexy woman does. But back in the 1940s and 1950s, even "standard" porn was suppressed (it didn't break out until the 1960s with "The Devil in Miss Jones" and "Deep Throat"), and photos of women performing feats of strength were few and far between. That's why we all love Abbye Stockton!
Chyna ( AKA Joanie Laurer ) tried porn, but it was mostly parody, & even the adult entertainment industry panned it.
I do love fitness girls & full – fledged FBBs, although the ones with an over – abundance of veins are just a trifle off – putting. But that's just me. Your mileage may vary. & as I've stated before, I also like belly – dancers, as they require a certain amount of muscularity as well as coordination. There are some good ones from the Ukraine & E. Europe.

The Sixties: CNN's new 10-part series features Grace Slick
By admin on May 27, 2014 in Area Arts News Updates
CNN partnered with Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman to produce this miniseries, which premieres May 29th. It will explore everything from the decade that shaped America, from the space race, politics, and war to music, art, and counter-culture. Viewers will see many iconic figures from the time interviewed for their first-hand perspective.
CNN Special "The Sixties"
Unsurprisingly, Grace Slick was a go-to for the producers. The rock goddess turned visual artist has never shied away from speaking her mind, and who better to give us some insight into the counter-culture movement than the lady who teamed up with Abbie Hoffman in an attempt to dose President Nixon's tea with LSD?
What other parts of 1960's do you feel deserve a voice in this mini-series? Is there anything shouldn't be mentioned? And more importantly, why are the '60s still so captivating to us, even more than fifty years later?

Synopsys	de Pekin Express (ES)
Beijing Express is a Spanish reality television contest. Between 2008 and 2011 was broadcast by the television network Cuatro, in 2015 by Antena 3 and from 2016 and until 2018, by laSexta. In the contest, ten couples must travel 10,000 km to win a prize of 100,000 euros, in addition to the money they get in each stage. The first season of the program was presented by Paula Vázquez, the second and third by Raquel Sánchez-Silva, the fourth by Jesús Vázquez and, from the fifth, by Cristina Pedroche. Produced by Boomerang TV, it is the Spanish version of the international format Peking Express, original from Belgium and the Netherlands, released in 2004, which has had different versions in several European countries such as France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany and Italy. The contest follows the wake of the original American format The Amazing Race, without being an official adaptation of it. In Morocco, channel 2M created its version called Dakar-Fez Express, which, as its name suggests, is a route from Dakar, Senegal, to Fez, Morocco, passing through Mauritania. In Portugal it was adapted with the name A great adventure, with a route in Indonesia. The program in its Spanish version came to issue four editions in its first stage in Cuatro. The program was losing audience throughout the editions, 1 until in 2012 Mediaset decided not to make more editions. The last was issued between September and December 2011 under the name Beijing Express: Adventure in Africa.

Yankees should only be getting started locking up their core
By Joel Sherman
February 16, 2019 | 2:41pm
Yankees trade options in wake of 'BS' Luis Castillo rumor: Sherman
Yankees may have to get creative under luxury tax crunch: Sherman
It took one busy day to bring back Yankees normalcy: Sherman
Yankees-DJ LeMahieu reunion offers peace to both sides: Sherman
The atmosphere is right for the Yankees to — at minimum — consider more pre-free agent multi-year contracts, like the four-year, $40 million extension signed Friday with Luis Severino.
They went under the luxury tax in 2018. That reset, at the lowest penalties, the next time the Yankees go over (almost certainly this year). For tax purposes, the average value of a contract is used. That tends to be higher than an arbitration player's yearly wage. The Yanks shunned the multi-years not wanting the average value to inflate payrolls while trying to slip under the tax.
Now — with the tax reset — the Yanks showed they are willing to do these deals, as they showed with Severino, who now cost $10 million toward the tax rather than the $5.25 million had he even won his arbitration hearing.
2. The Yanks do better with players they know. They have free-agent and trade successes, but an awful lot of Carl Pavanos, Kei Igawas and Sonny Grays, too. In the last quarter century, they have signed seven players to significant long-term deals prior to their first free agency. All seven — Tino Martinez, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada, Robinson Cano and Brett Gardner — have worked out. Like No. 8, Severino, all but Martinez were homegrown.
3. In the past week, Severino, Philadelphia's Aaron Nola and Minnesota's Max Kepler and Jorge Polanco signed long-term extensions. The slow free-agent markets of the past two years might be motivating more players to consider early multi-year deals if free agency is going to be less lucrative/attractive. Often these early deals turn team friendly as they avoid the more expensive risk of upper-end free agency while tending to buy mostly prime years.
So if the Yanks are open for business, who should be considered and at what levels:
He does not even become arbitration-eligible until next offseason. With two years and 86 days of high-end results going into last year, Gary Sanchez earned just $620,400 for 2018 from the Yanks. Judge (two years, 51 days) is probably due in the same range for 2019.
Aaron JudgeCharles Wenzelberg
With near equivalent service time, Mike Trout signed his six-year, $144.5 million extension with the Angels in March 2014, that went into effect in 2015. Judge has not been as productive as Trout. But he has been pretty darn productive and is every much the face of the franchise as Trout. That five-year old agreement at least provides a concept.
Judge might shun long-term overtures because a) he is a great player who should do fine in arbitration, and b) he is the rare baseball player who has lucrative off-the-field endorsements. But his first full season was age-25. He will not be a free agent until after his age-30 season, as most teams hesitate to invest heavily any longer in players in their 30s — and he is a big guy who teams could have extra worries about aging poorly. So, if the Yanks acted now to get his last pre-arbitration year included to lower that average value and bought out two free agent years, would that be amenable? Seven years at $146 million — $1 million, $10 million, $20 million, $25 million and three at $30 million — is $20.86 million toward the tax.
The word is he's healing ahead of schedule from Tommy John surgery. Still, assume the Yanks want to see games. The Yanks adore this player on the field and in the clubhouse. Gregorius seems to love being a Yankee and now sees how damaging an injury can be. Does that combination push him to avoid a free agent market next offseason with Boston shortstop Xavier Bogaerts.
Jean Segura signed two years before free agency and as part of the deal got $14.25 million each for his walk year plus three free agent years. So does $15 million for five years ($75 million) land Gregorius now? It might have to be six years?
Dellin Betances
He would be a fascinating free-agent case. On one hand, he has been dominant the past five years in a bunch of relief roles when teams are willing to invest on versatile, strikeout-heavy relievers. But there are bits of wildness, Tommy John surgery in his past and constant worries about his mechanics due to his size.
Dellin BetancesCharles Wenzelberg
The Yanks have protected themselves somewhat against Betances leaving as a free agent next year and Aroldis Chapman opting out by signing Zack Britton and Adam Ottavino. But the Yanks love a deep bullpen, and Betances has become — along with Gregorius — an important clubhouse elder as Brett Gardner and CC Sabathia likely face their final Yankees season.
Britton got three years at $39 million and Ottavino three years at $27 million. Does the midpoint — three years at $33 million beginning in 2020 — get it done?
He took years to become productive and even performing well in these past two seasons he has endured injuries. But Hicks is a switch-hitter with power, patience and defensive skill in center. The Yanks do not have a ready-made solution in 2020 with Gardner likely gone, Jacoby Ellsbury a non-factor and Clint Frazier not viewed as a center fielder. The optimistic ETA on Estevan Florial is 2021.
Analytic teams are really going to like Hicks should he get into next offseason's market? Perhaps the four-year, $55 million deal the injury-prone, but talented, A.J. Pollock signed with the Dodgers in the offseason is the gauge.
Austin Romine
Maybe you expected Gary Sanchez here. But his 2018 was so disturbing that unless he was ready to do a sweetheart deal, I cannot imagine the Yanks going long term now — and I can't imagine Sanchez selling himself low.
Luis Severino's deal worked for him but maybe not for all players
TAMPA — All baseball business these days comes with heaping...
Romine doesn't sound like a big deal in money (probably two years, $5 million-ish) or name. But catching has never been as depleted in the majors at a time when teams having never put a bigger mental burden on their catchers. One NL executive likened what the team does information-wise with its catchers like preparing a quarterback to play a game.
Romine, who can be free after this season, knows the Yankees' video, analytic and scouting system. The pitchers like throwing to him. The team knows he will handle the backup role well and can step in competently if something happens to Sanchez. And unless you think Kyle Higashioka is ready to do that, the Yanks have no other internal alternatives.

Antarctic Research
Prior to graduate school at the University of Michigan I worked in the Marine Science department at the University of Georgia. I studied the bacterial community structure in and around Antarctic Polynyas. I was particularly interested in understanding which bacterial classes were dominant at different depths in the water column and the surrounding sea ice and whether or not they were 'active'. While I did filter mass quantities of water for eventual 454 sequencing, most of my time was spent filtering smaller quantities of water to examine the bacterial activity (metabolism) at each depth and location using MAR-CARD-FISH. Parts of this work have been published across two PNAS papers (see below), and I am committed to publish a manuscript focused on the work my advisor and I performed over the course of two research cruises across the Southern Ocean.
All crew and scientists aboard the Oden 2007-2008, the only people I interacted with for 50+ days.
Most of the work I did in Antarctica during my first research cruise was collated into a large biogeographical study on bacterial diversity from the Arctic to the Antarctic, looking at both shallow and deep water samples. This work was very exciting, because we believe that environmental conditions drive the differences in bacterial community structure from pole-to-pole.
This work was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in October of 2012, titled Pole-to-pole biogeography of surface and deep marine bacterial communities.

I also collected and analyzed water samples for a colleague in Sweden, Laura Alonso-Sáez, for a study on archaea. I fed small samples of ocean water from depths ranging from 1m to 1500m various concentrations of radio-labeled leucine and bicarbonate for MAR-CARD-FISH processing.
This work was also published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in October of 2012, titled Role for urea in nitrification by polar marine Archaea.

"Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them" Ephesians 4:29 NLT.
Have you every noticed that what you think leads to how you feel? And how you feel leads to what you say?
If you do not take charge of what you think and what you say, you will live a life where you are constantly controlled by your emotions. Your emotions are an accurate representation of what you have been thinking about. But your emotions can not be the driving force in your life.
Have you ever been in a store and your daughter sees something that she likes. If she is younger it can be a doll, if she's older it could be clothes. If her mind get's fixated on what she wants, then no matter if you had something better for her, nothing will please her. Then when she gets what she wants it sits in the closet untouched.
Just like it is childish to want whatever appeals to our eyes, it is childish to let the way we feel rule our house. So does that mean you should stuff your emotions? No! You can be honest and transparent without being negative and vindictive with your words. Sometimes we just need to say to ourselves, "grow up!" Have a new start today! Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to everyone who hears.

Kanadas flygvapen (, RCAF; , ARC, formellt Canadian Forces Air Command), är flygvapnets försvarsgren i den kanadensiska försvarsmakten. Flygvapnet hette mellan åren 1968 och 2011 Canadian Forces Air Command innan namnet Royal Canadian Air Force, som det haft från starten 1924 till bytet 1968, återtogs.

Före 1924 bestod Kanadas flygvapen av kanadensiska flygare från Royal Flying Corps och Royal Naval Air Service, med den kortlivade Canadian Aviation Corps tillsammans med en liten styrka på två skvadroner knutna till Royal Air Force i Storbritannien under första världskriget. Under 1920 bildades en annan del i det kanadensiska flygvapnet som inriktade sig mest på flygutbildning och civil verksamhet. Det kanadensiska flygvapnet döptes om till Royal Canadian Air Force 1924.

Efter 1968 blev RCAF sammanfogat med den kanadensiska armén och kanadensiska marinen för att bilda Kanadas försvarsmakt och flygvapnets funktioner delades upp och placeras under flera nya flygkårer. Den 2 september 1975 blev Kanadas militära luftfart placerad i en och samma försvarsgren: Canadian Forces Air Command.

Uppgift

RCAF ansvarar för all flygverksamhet i den kanadensiska försvarsmakten, att upprätthålla säkerheten i Kanadas luftrum och att tillhandahålla flygplan för att stödja Royal Canadian Navy (flottan) och Canadian Army (armén) i dess verksamhet. RCAF är en samarbetspartner med USA:s flygvapen för att skydda kontinentala luftrum genom North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). RCAF ger också alla primära resurser till det nationella Search and Rescue-programmet.

Historia

Omorganisationen av Kanadas försvarsmakt genomfördes den 1 februari 1968 och RCAF upphörde därmed att existera. Alla grenar inom den kanadensiska försvarsmakten enades i en gemensam gren med syfte att förbättra Kanadas militära effektivitet och flexibilitet.

Flygplan och baser för RCAF och kanadensiska flottan (Royal Canadian Naval Aviation Service), var spridda över flera olika kommandon i de nyligen enade styrkorna. Flyghuvudstaben bestod huvudsakligen av före detta RCAF CF-101 Voodoo jaktflygplan, tillsammans med radarnätverken DEW Line, Mid-Kanada Line och Pinetree Line.

Kommandot för flygtransporter var ansvarig för flygtransporter och tankning av flygplan med CC-137 Husky, vars främsta uppgift var att transportera mobila marktrupper till och från avlägsna konfliktområden i Europa. Armén bestod av före detta kanadensiska arméstyrkor tillsammans med arméns helikoptrar (CH-135 Twin Huey, CH-136 Kiowa, CH-147 Chinook, CH-113A Voyageur) och RCAF:s attackflygplan (CF-104 Starfighter).

Den 9 augusti 1974 blev en CC-115 Buffalo från 116:e transportenheten som arbetade på FN-uppdrag nedskjuten av en syrisk luftvärnsrobot. Alla nio ombord omkom. Detta utgör den största förlusten av kanadensisk personal under enda dag sedan Koreakriget och det senaste kanadensiska militärflygplan som har skjutits ned.

Den 2 september 1975 gjordes en omorganisation av alla flygplan över alla kommandon som flyttades till den nybildade grenen (AIRCOM). Air Defence Command och kommandot för flygtransporter togs bort, utbildningsverksamheten, Maritime Command, och Mobile Command (omdöpt till Force Mobile Command) blev omgrupperade för att återspegla den nya strukturen. Den nu bildade AIRCOM var mycket lik föregångaren RCAF i och med att den hanterade alla flygets krav inom Kanadas militär.

Flera baser lades ner mellan 1970 och 1990, på grund av diverse förändringar inom flygplansflottan. Eftersom multirollflygplanet CF-18A / B Hornet köptes in pensionerades CF-104 Starfighter och CF-101 Voodoo i början-mitten av 1980-talet och det gjordes nedskärningar i flera baser som enbart hade haft dessa flygplan. Nedläggningarna av baserna utanför Miramichi och Söllingen i Tyskland tillsammans med olika bombningsanläggningar och pensioneringen av stridsflygplanet CF-116 och transport-/ lufttankningsflygplanet Boeing 707 förde AIRCOM till sin nuvarande struktur.

AIRCOM genomgick även stora förändringar i slutet av 1970-talet när CP-107 Argus och CP-121 Tracker ersattes med patrullflygplanen CP-140 Aurora/CP-140A Arcturus.

Efter sammanslagningen bar all personal i den kanadensiska försvarsmakten en mörkgrön uniform med gradbeteckning på endast mössa och krage som kännetecken för piloter och flygplansbesättning. Denna uniform fortsatte under det nybildade AIRCOM från 1975 fram till mitten av 1980-talet då AIRCOM återvände till blå-grå uniformer som i stort sett liknade den tidigare RCAF-uniformen, men gradbeteckningen härstammande från armén som antogs efter sammanslagningen behölls.

Search and rescue-skvadronerna fick nya helikoptrar när CH-149 Cormorant ersatte CH-113 Labrador i början på 2002. CC-115 Buffalo ersattes även på 2000-talet med ett dedikerat STOL sök- och räddningsflygplan. De 40-åriga antiubåtshelikoptrarna CH-124 Sea King är för närvarande fortfarande i drift. Den nybeställda ersättaren Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone kommer dock att börja levereras under sommaren 2011.

Under 2007 och 2008 köptes fyra C-17 Globemaster III in för att förbättra kapaciteten inom lufttransport. Nya CC-130J Super Hercules (vidareutveckling av C-130 Hercules)-transportflygplan började levereras i början av sommaren 2010, sex månader tidigare än planerat. Totalt sjutton flygplan ska levereras innan april 2012.

I mars 2011 stationerade kanadensiska flygvapnet sex CF-188 Hornet, två Boeing CC-177 Globemasters, två CP-140 Auroras, och en personalstyrka på cirka 250 man som en del av Operation Mobile, Kanadas insats i den internationella militärinsatsen i Libyen 2011.

Flygvapnet upprätthöll ursprungligen en flygförbudszon som en del av Operation Odyssey Dawn, men är nu under Natos Operation Unified Protector. Kanadensiska CF-188:or har genomfört flera bombräder mot libyska militära installationer.

Den 16 augusti 2011 tillkännagav regeringen att flygvapnet byter tillbaka namn till Royal Canadian Air Force.

2016 Olympics - Athlete's Village Not Ready
MamaRAMa
July 25, 2016 05:59AM Registered: 13 years ago
"Due to a variety of problems in the Village, including gas, electricity and plumbing I have decided that no Australian Team member will move into our allocated building," Australia's Chef de Mission Kitty Chiller said.
"Problems include blocked toilets, leaking pipes, exposed wiring, darkened stairwells where no lighting has been installed and dirty floors in need of a massive clean. In operations areas water has come through the ceiling resulting in large puddles on the floor around cabling and wiring."
In a statement, the International Olympics Committee (IOC) and Rio 2016 said the issues were being addressed but the village was still several days away from being completed.
The Australian Olympic Committee said in a statement Sunday that its athletes are staying in hotels rather than the village due to the condition of the official accommodation.
In a statement, the International Olympics Committee (IOC) and Rio 2016 said the issues were being addressed but the village was still several days away from being completed. They had a ribbon cutting ceremony on July 24 to open Athlete's Village. Why would you open the Village if it's not ready? What a mess.

This rabbit spelling jigsaw is a fun way for children to learn the letters in the word rabbit. Print onto some card (colour the picture if you choose the black and white version), and then cut the jigsaw into strips.
Here's a fun way to capture some memories of the Easter holidays from a child's perspective! How about drawing each member of the family in an Easter bonnet?


Temporal Scaling and Quality Scaling are both widely-used techniques to reduce the bitrate of streaming video. However, combinations and comparisons of Temporal and Quality Scaling have not been systematically studied. This research extends previous work to provide a model for combining Temporal and Quality Scaling, and uses an optimization algorithm to provide a systematic analysis of their combination over a range of network conditions and video content. Analytic experiments show: 1) Quality Scaling typically performs better than Temporal Scaling, with performance differences correlated with the motion characteristics of the video. In fact, when the network capacity is moderate and the loss rate is low, Quality Scaling performs nearly as well as the optimal combination of Quality and Temporal Scaling; 2) when the network capacity is low and the packet loss rate is high, Quality Scaling alone is ineffective, but a combination of Quality and Temporal Scaling can provide reasonable video quality; 3) adjusting the amount of Forward Error Correction (FEC) provides significantly better performance than video streaming without FEC or video streaming with a fixed amount of FEC.

The Leafy World of the Stick Insect Insect Order Phasmatodea
Stick insects, members of the class Arthropoda and the order
Phasmatodea, are herbivores, spending their lives on foliage, moving slowly, depending mostly on camouflage to save them in a world of hungry predators. They are prey for birds, reptiles, spiders and primates. Although they resemble twigs very closely indeed, they do not live in piles of fallen sticks, but up among the greenery that is their food.
They stay relatively still, but when they move they can resemble twigs trembling in the wind. Some look like curled dried leaves hanging on a branch. It takes a sharp eye to appreciate their intricate beauty even in an insectarium. Their size ranges from one to twelve inches, and their colors vary, although they are usually shades of brown. There are about three thousand species, many still unclassified. They live on every continent but Antarctica, mostly in tropical regions, but in some of the temperate zone as well.
Some of their adaptations are fascinating. To improve the chances of the next generation, some females drop the eggs one by one throughout the habitat, not grouping them in a vulnerable mass as some insects do. Stick insect females hide their eggs on the underside of leaves, or under soil, or in plant structure. The eggs often resemble seeds, with a bulb at the end, the
capitulum, which contains fats.
Some stick insects leave these eggs where ants will carry them to their nest. There the ants eat off the fatty capitulum, and toss the egg on their garbage dump. It hatches there, safe from birds, mice, and weather. Some nymphs, young, are even said to resemble ants, lending them added camouflage as they make their way out of the anthill and into the larger world.
There are two genders of stick insects, but the females do not need to breed in order to produce eggs. This adaptation is called parthenogenesis. If a female does not mate, all of her offspring will be female, but if she does, half the eggs will be male. Females are generally larger than the males, although not in every species. The males however, tend to have wings, often brilliant ones, and the females in general do not. Stick insects with wings may suddenly flash them at an attacking predator, and then fold them and drop down among the forest litter, invisible again.
The life cycle of the stick insect is an incomplete metamorphosis. Once the nymphs hatch they look like miniature stick insects (though often without wings). Each nymph will go through several molts before it reaches maturity, shedding its exoskeleton, eating it, and growing a new one. Eating the exoskeleton, the outer shell, hides the stick insect's traces from predators, and reuses protein. Each period between molts is called an instar, and males have an average of five while females average six. While juvenile, at least some of the species can drop legs if they are seized by a predator, and grow them back at the next molt. Stick insects may live for one to two years. The eggs incubate for a period between three months and one and one half years, depending on species.
Stick insects are nocturnal as a rule. This way, they avoid most of the local predators when they are active and gathering food. However, this leaves them prey to bats, which find them by echolocation, sonar, and are not fooled by their camouflage.
So in general, the stick insect survival strategy relies on passive defense that uses camouflage and inactivity when most predators are active. Not always. Both the vivid orange and black Peruvian fire stick,
oreophoetes peruana, and the American walking stick, Anisomorpha bupestroides, can spray a defensive chemical when molested. This painful chemical temporarily blinds such predators as birds and mice, and encourages them to find other food.
