John B. HAROUX or HARRICK/S b. m. d.
Eleanor aka Ellen TOTTEN formerly HORROCKS alias FALL b. 18374 m. 18705 d.
Albert aka Alberto Amado ZANONI b. 18626 m. d.
Note: Lena and Lily's biography has been written in collaboration with Caroline, Lily Alice ZANONI's descendant.
Date of birth not known religion not known health good. Father not known mother sentenced on the 6th July 1871 for one month for being a common prostitute not able to support. The father has not been in Newcastle for many years, and it is not known whether he is alive or not. The mother is a notorious prostitute and has been several times convicted of offences at the Newcastle Police Court under the name of Eleanor Horrocks. She is supposed to be a Roman Catholic.
The article How Arabs are Produced, recorded in the Newcastle Chronicle at the time of Eleanor's arrest, referred to the three children although they were not named.15 Because all three were very young at the time of their admission to the Sydney industrial schools and because they remained as inmates for years before apprenticeships were arranged for them at about the age of twelve, it is unknown how much of their family they remembered. It is unknown whether there was any contact with their mother, Eleanor, after their arrests.
Descendants indicated that the two sisters remained in contact after they were discharged from Biloela but it is currently unknown whether any child was ever reunited with their mother. No trace of Alberto Amado ZANONI has yet been confirmed and the only references to him in NSW appear in the records of the Vernon. Albert ZANONI was identified as the father of both Lena and Alice on their death certificates. It may be that Albert also remained in contact with his sisters after his discharge from the Vernon as it is significant that this name had been recalled within the family, however his name may simply have been the only name the sisters could recall from their past.
Lily Alice, Lena and Albert were the three children of Ellen TOTTEN and Vincent ZANONI. Their births were registered in Sydney but no marriage for Ellen or Vincent has been identified. It is likely that Vincent abandoned Ellen aka Eleanor sometime around the time of Lena's birth in 1865 and it is almost certain that she had very little choice in her decision to choose the occupation of prostitution to support her children after this abandonment.
No death for Vincent has been confirmed. It is as yet unknown whether there is any connection to the Vincent ZANONI whose death was registered in Granville in 192220 and whose father was recorded as Camille. It is considered likely that this man may be in some way connected to the family but this can't be proven. This death may also record the death of Alfred ZANONI. Alternatively, it may also not be connected in any way at all.
Eleanor ZANONI aka HORROCKS nee TOTTEN had arrived with her siblings and her parents, James TOTTEN and Eliza aka Elizabeth IRWIN, aboard the Cornwall in 1850.21 No details of Eleanor's life between her arrival and her 1870 marriage has been located in Trove or on the NSW BDM Index. James and Eliza eventually settled in the Bathurst area and Eliza IRWIN, died as Elizabeth in Orange in 1870.22 Also in 1870 in Newcastle, as Eleaner [sic] TOTTEN, Ellen married John B. HAROUX. No identification of John has yet been made but he may have been the miner of Wallsend who gave evidence in an arson trial in November 1873 as John HAROCK.23 In July 1871, the year after she married HAROUX, Eleanor HORROCKS was admitted to Maitland gaol for prostitution. Although it was stated that she was a known prostitute, this has been the first court appearance yet identified for her. Ellen's gaol admission for this offence provided the name of her ship of arrival. This admission, read in combination with the birth record for her daughter, Alice, which provided her maiden name of 'TUTING',24 was used to identify her family.
In January 1872, Eleanor was working in a brothel in Wolfe Street, Newcastle, with Annie DEMARTIENE, the mother of Pasculine and Sarah25 and as Eleanor HORRICKS, in an article in August 1872, she was reported to be living with a George FALLS.26 Eleanor was still appearing in Newcastle court in April 1873.27 George FALLS very likely died in Sydney in 1875 at the age of 32.28 No further trace of Ellen or Eleanor has been found after 1873 and her final residence is unknown. It is unlikely that she died as Ellen HERRICK in Orange in 1900 as there was already a woman in Orange of this name who was having children at about the time of Eleanor's arrival. This death registration29 was still unusual as it recorded no parents or age on the online index. Family Notices in Trove suggested that this woman's daughter, Ellen, had died in 1886. No death registration for this Ellen has been found and it is unknown whether she died as HERRICK or whether she was the Ellen HERRICK who married Patrick MEEHAN in 1881.
Winifred Z. CARTER b. 190040 m. 192441 James C. McGARRY d.
Nellie M. CARTER b. 190242 m. 192443 William KIRKLAND d.
Lily Alice Florence ZANONI was the elder of the two ZANONI sisters. She was apprenticed first on 23 October 1877, when she was apprenticed for six years to G. W. F. ADDISON, the Police Magistrate of East Maitland.48 On 4 February 1880, Lily's younger sister, Lina, was also sent as an apprentice to ADDISON. The arrangement of having the two sisters as apprentices must not have been successful as Lily's indentures were cancelled and she was returned to Biloela on 12 May 1880. On 31 July 1880, Lily was apprenticed for three years and three months to Mr T. DEIGHTON of Orange and the register noted that she had completed these indentures well.49 The choice of the locations of these apprenticeships may not have been coincidence and there may be correspondence available confirming some familial connection in the East Maitland or the Orange areas because Orange was where her maternal grandparents were known to have settled.
Lily Alice went on to marry Edward CARTER in Lithgow on 17 October 1891. The couple had six children.50 Alice died on 17 November 1932, and was buried as Lillian CARTER in the South Bowenfels Cemetery.51 An appropriate death registration for Lily has not been located by her family. Edward CARTER died in 1947.
Roy Earl BLANCH b. 190860 m. 194761 Lila Rosamine STEWART d.
Ellen Lina Annie ZENONI was known as Lina. Her birth was registered in 1865 so she was the younger of the two ZANONI sisters. Lina was apprenticed for six years on 4 February 1880, when she joined her older sister as an apprentice to G. W. F. ADDISON, the Police Magistrate of East Maitland.62 It was often a deliberate decision to place siblings close to each other but this situation appeared to have been unsatisfactory for ADDISON as the older sibling, Lily, was returned to Biloela and only Lina remained in East Maitland. These indentures were subsequently cancelled with the consent of all concerned and Lina's apprenticeship was transferred to Mrs Selina PALMER of East Maitland. The Biloela Discharge Register indicated that Lina completed these indentures well.
Lina went on to have three illegitimate children. Two died in infancy and one was born shortly before her marriage in 1898. In 1898 in Singleton as Lena E. ZANONI or ZANONIE, she married Frederick BLANCH. Lena and Frederick had two further children.63 Frederick was buried on 14 April 1919. Lena Ellen BLANCH died in Wallsend, near Newcastle in 1952.64 She was buried with her husband, Frederick, in Sandgate Cemetery, Newcastle, on 2 August 1952, at the age of 83.65 While they share the same grave, Lena has no inscription on the headstone.
31. NSW Birth: 3336/1887: could this birth have been registered as Florence JOHNSON (3413/1887) in Sydney a short time later?
44. NSW Birth: 24480/1905 ‒ as Ray C. ‒ Mother: Lily A.

Q: How can I bring my shape that I painted with paintComponent and clicked with a mouse to front? I have a program that painted three different shapes(circle, triangle, and square) and I try to drag them with a mouse. What I want to do is to bring to the front that shape that is clicked. Can I pass the argument together with repaint() to tell a program that for example circle that is clicked has to be painted last, or is it possible to create three different paint methods to keep track of paint ordning?
Another question is my if-loop, it works just fine to drag square through circle and triangle but circle and triangle take square along with them if the mouse is in the same area. Can I turn off a mouse listener for other figures while I drag one?

A: Suggestions:

*

*Put all the shapes into a List<Shape>

*Iterate through the list forward in the paintComponent, drawing each shape.  The last one drawn will be on top.

*In the mouse listener/adapter, iterate through the shapes list backwards to find out which shape was pressed, and exit the loop as soon as any shape has been found. Do this backwards so that the one on top gets checked first.

*When a shape is found, remove it from the list, and then re-add it and call repaint(). This will have it drawn on the top.

How was Jay-Z's Early Life?
trendpresswire.com
Jay-Z was born Sawn Corey Carter on the 4th of December, 1969 in Brooklyn, New York. He is the last born of the four children of Andes Reeves and Gloria Carter. Jay-Z, together with his siblings were primarily raised by their mother upon the disappearance of their father who left when he (Jay-Z) was just 11 years old. He was raised in the drug-manifested "Marcy Projects" where gun-culture was the norm.
The influence from their neighborhood absorbed him into becoming a cocaine drug dealer as well as being swallowed by the gun-culture that he once shot his elder brother on the shoulder over a jewelry argument at home.
As for education, Jay-Z shifted schools from George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School to Trenton Central High School, and finally Whitney High School.
Busta Rhymes and The Notorious B.I.G were some of his classmates. Jay-Z was passionate about music from an early age and was particularly inspired by a boom box birthday gift from his mother. It was then that Jay-Z started scripting lyrics and free-style rapping music by the then-popular artists.
It was until 1989 that the young rapper joined rapper Jaz-O who became his mentor and taught him about rapping. As a way of showing appreciation to his rap guru, the upcoming rapper changed his street name from "Jazzy" to "Jay-Z".

How has Jay-Z Walked His Career Journey?
Jay-Z kicked off his career in 1989 when he joined his rap guru Jay-O who mentored him in the rap industry. As a way of paying homage to his mentor, the then "Jazzy" changed his name permanently to "Jay-Z". While working with Jay-O, Jay-Z used to sell his music records, mostly CDs by out of his car due to a lack of recording label to support him.
It was up to until the year 1996 that Jay-Z debuted with the album, "Reasonable Doubt" under the 'Roc-a-Fella Records'. The album placed Jay-Z's name in an elevated point as an emerging hip-hop artist with its songs, "Can't Knock the Hustle" and "Brooklyn's Finest" being hits.
The year 1998 marked the release of Jay-Z's number 2 album, "Hard Knock Life" which again was a major success and played a vital role in establishing the rapper as one of the biggest hip-hop stars of the all-time.
The album would later become Jay-Z's most commercially successful album selling more than 5 million copies worldwide besides being certified 5x platinum. Additionally, the same album also won him a Grammy alongside many other awards. With hits songs like "Nigga What, Nigga Who" and "Hard Knock Life" Jay-Z's number 2 album was a major milestone for him.
Between the years 1999 and 2002, Jay-Z released several other albums with "The Dynasty, The Blueprint, and Blueprint 2" being his number 3 album. In the album were hits like "Jigga that Nigga", "Excuse me Miss", "Hovi Baby", "Song Cry", "Izzo (H.O.V.A)", "Heartbreaker", "I Just Wanna Love U", and "Big Pimpin" among others, all of which placed Jay-Z's name at the peak of the hip-hop world.
Between the years 2003 and 2005, Jay-Z announced his retirement from solo recording on the grounds that he lacked enough worthy competition in the industry. In 2006 however, the rapper made an iconic comeback with the album "Kingdom Come". He later released the albums, "American Gangster" (2007), "Blueprint 3" (2009), "Magna Carta Holy Grail" (2013) as well as the 2017's "4.44".
Business-wise, Jay-Z is a successful entrepreneur who owns businesses like Roc-A-Fella, Roc Nation Sports, Def Jam Records, and the 40/40 Club among other enterprises.

Who is Jay-Z Married to?
One of the most interesting facts about Jay-Z is that despite his fame, the rapper has only been married once, and unlike most other celebrities who publicize their relationships, Jay-Z prefers to keep his affair private. Jay-Z tied knots with singer cum actress Beyonce Knowles in a private ceremony in April 2008. The couple has lived happily together since then and has been blessed with three children, Вluе Іvу Саrtеr, Ѕіr Саrtеr, and Rumі Саrtеr.
Prior to their marriage, Jay-Z and Beyonce had a number of duets including, "That's How You Like It", "Déjà vu", "Crazy in Love" and "03 Bonnie & Clyde".

Paramount Pictures has now released the second trailer for Annihilation online, with Portman's character and her drive to learn what happened to her husband (played by Oscar Isaac) in "The Shimmer" at the center of the action. Who will fight on the front-lines against death: soldiers, politicians, militia?
The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. "I knew that it was planned as a trilogy by the author, but there was only the manuscript for the first book". Annihilation, based on the book and/or series by Jeff VanderMeer, takes that idea to another level entirely.
Watch the official trailer for #Annihilation starring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny, and Oscar Isaac. A distraught Portman agrees to join the 12th, all-female team, and you see the world beyond the curtain-a place of exquisite beauty, filled with freaky flora and fauna mutations, and, in one quick cut, a deadly predator.
Annihilation is about a group of scientists - played by Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, and Tuva Novotny - who explore a odd part of world where "occurrences" happen.
Like Alien or The Descent (a 2005 all-female horror film which still holds the record for most onscreen dialogue said by women to women), Annihilation makes a villain out of mutation and the next stage of life. They would do well to build the hype as the novels do. 2014's Southern Reach Trilogy (and Annihilation in particular) brought him some of his most pronounced acclaim and success, and the marriage of the modern classic to director Alex Garland (of Ex Machina fame) seems destined for greatness. Today, the studio released a new trailer that shows off the utter strangeness of Area X. And how far will humanity go to save themselves?
The 49ers gained 416 yards against the Texans, with Carlos Hyde rushing for 78 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. The 49ers put together a quick drive at the end of the first half to head to the locker room with a 13-9 lead.

The flow-generated sound from an air inlet at a low Mach number is studied using detached eddy simulation and direct numerical beamforming. The flow is solved through RANS and compressible detached eddy simulation for various velocity ratios, defined as the ratio between the flow speed at the duct entrance and in the free stream. Results for the flow show very good agreement with experimental data from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Pressure data is extracted at the position of a virtual microphone array inside the simulation domain, outside of the unsteady flow region. The array data is beamformed on a source test grid over the inlet using standard beamforming and Linear Programming deconvolution approaches. As beamforming is performed from simulated data directly in the acoustically resolved domain, the method is referred to as Direct Numerical Beamforming (DNB). The results give information about the location, amplitude and frequency content of the sound sources around the inlet. The resulting incoherent sound sources can be used as a model for the sound radiated from the inlet. Using a simple Green's function, the corresponding far-field spectrum is computed for two velocity ratios, showing a very good agreement with the spectra obtained from a Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings integral.

The Burning Bizarre Convention was established in 2008 and its aim is to gather fire performers, jugglers, acrobats and artists involved in clowning, pantomime and street art, who are keen on meeting artists from different countries, sharing their experiences and knowledge and working together. By participating in workshops, team activities and open stages, all members of BBC learn to cooperate, develop their skills and their social & professional network.
The final product of Burning Bizarre Convention is a gala show where fire artists and jugglers are invited to perform and show their skills in public. Burning Bizarre Convention wants to embrace international artists from different backgrounds, and to bring them together so that this institution will continue to grow and develop.
The project European Cupola United takes place the same time as Burning Bizarre Convention with the view to embrace more young people who are involved in fire juggling. Last year, "E(uropean) Cupola United 4.0 – Cabaret International" was held from 08 to 17 September 2013 ,where 25 young artists from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain and Germany took part and had the opportunity to join also Burning Bizarre Convention. E(uropean) Cupola United was first held in 2010 and since then every year such a youth exchange takes place in September.

Lancashire County Council Slush Fund
In the latest twist in the financial folly of the Conservative run Lancashire County Council, they have paid an undisclosed sum to a company called Veritau, to investigate the funding of charities, community organisations and other organisation supporting local people right across Lancashire.
The investigation was surrounding the decision in 2016/17, that the County Council made arrangements to provide one-off funding to a number of community led wellbeing projects. The projects were neighbourhood level schemes which were intended to help promote health and wellbeing as part of the County Council's overall public health agenda.
The Conservative Administration decided at the full council, 14/12/17, to ask the official council auditors Grant Thornton UK LLP, to undertake an investigation. However they declined and without reference back to council the Conservative Administration hired, Veritau, to undertake the work.
The idea of providing funding to community groups and organisations as a way of building resilience and improving health outcomes at a local level is in line with national policy and the County Council's Health and Wellbeing strategy. The approach has also been replicated by other councils.
The Conservatives have added their own recommendation to the report calling for the police to investigate the community organisations, council officers and councillors. This is not part of the Veritau findings or recommendations.
Lancashire County Council – Review of Wellbeing Grant Scheme
"The approval of the projects was undertaken in accordance with the County Council's decision making processes and was therefore lawful."
Veritau, Assurance Services for Public Sector
Cllr John Fillis, Labour Deputy Leader, said "The Conservative Administration are now using Lancashire Tax Payers money as their own political slush fund to attack members of the opposition and take money away from these organisations that support local communities."
"Veritau make it quite clear in their report that there have been no unlawful actions on behalf of the council or organisations who have benefited from the funding. This has been supported by Lancashire County Councils own legal team. However we accept with hindsight things could have been done better by the administration."
"This is just to distract people away from the report by Lancashire County Council official auditor's statement regarding the reasons why they have been unable to certify that we have completed the audit of the accounts of Lancashire County Council since 2013."
The Annual Audit Letter for Lancashire County Council 2017/18
"We have been unable to certify that we have completed the audit of the accounts of Lancashire County Council since 2013 due to an on-going police investigation. Once this investigation is concluded we will be able to assess the impact on our audit responsibilities and update our audit work in order to complete the audit certificates for the intervening years."
Mike Thomas, Director, Grant Thornton UK LLP

When i issue the hdparm command, the drive spins down as it should, but only for about 5-20 seconds, then it starts spinning again. Anybody knows what program that causes the hdd to spin up again?
lsof |grep /opt/|grep -v ' mem' (assuming your external drive is mounted under /opt/).
Anything that touches a log file in /var/log or drops something in /tmp will make it spin back up again. Without mounting / read only, I don't think there's a practical way to make the HDD spin down and stay that way.
So only solution will be to move /tmp and /var/log to for example an usb stick ?
That's a possibility, but I think it would die rather quickly from all of the writes and you never know when it's going fail.
I think a better alternative is to leave a fluid dynamic bearing HDD on and idling at low RPM. With proper thermal management, it should run virtually forever.

Kalimantan Selatan (deutsch "Süd-Kalimantan") ist eine indonesische Provinz auf der Insel Borneo. Sie liegt im Südosten der Insel und ist die kleinste, aber am dichtesten besiedelte Provinz Borneos.

Verwaltungsgliederung
Das Kalimantan Selatan besteht aus den folgenden 11 Regierungsbezirken (Kabupaten) und 2 Städten (Kota):

Quelle der administrativen und Flächenangaben: Peraturan Menteri Dalam Negeri RI Nomor 72 Tahun 2019 (Verordnung des Innenministers vom Oktober 2019):
Die Bevölkerungsangaben basieren auf der Fortschreibung durch die regionalen Zivilregistrierungsbüros und stammen von Ende 2019.

Bevölkerung
Die Bevölkerung der Provinz setzt sich aus Banjaresen und Dayak zusammen. Im Zuge der Umsiedlungspolitik der indonesischen Regierung sind zudem zahlreiche Menschen aus überbevölkerten Regionen Javas (Javaner) in der Provinz angesiedelt worden (siehe Transmigrasi), was immer wieder zu Konflikten führt. Wichtigste Sprache ist Banjaresisch. Hauptstadt ist Banjarmasin mit 580.000 Einwohnern.

Religion

Geschichte
Im 15. Jahrhundert etablierte sich ein hinduistisch geprägtes Königreich in der Region, das seit dem 16. Jahrhundert durch fortschreitende Islamisierung zum Sultanat von Banjarmasin wurde. 1860 kam die Region endgültig unter niederländische Kolonialverwaltung und das Sultanat wurde aufgelöst. 1950 wurde Kalimantan Selatan eine Provinz des nun unabhängigen Indonesien. Zunächst gehörte auch das Gebiet von Kalimantan Tengah zur Provinz; die dort lebenden Dayak erkämpften sich jedoch 1957 die Abspaltung.

Wirtschaft
Wirtschaftlich bedeutend ist die Holzindustrie sowie die Plantagenwirtschaft; vor allem Kautschuk wird angebaut. Eine kleinere Rolle spielen der Kohlebergbau und die Fischerei. Wie in vielen anderen indonesischen Provinzen wirft die Rodung der Regenwälder massive ökologische Probleme auf. Ein weiteres großes Problem ist die Anwendung von hochgiftigem Quecksilber für die handwerkliche Goldgewinnung im Amalgamverfahren. Die Verseuchung von Luft und Wasser betrifft rund 225.000 Menschen. 2013 hat dieser Missstand zur "Nominierung" ganz Zentral- und Süd-Kalimantans unter den Top 10 der am stärksten verseuchten Gebiete der Erde durch das Blacksmith Institute geführt. Durch Bildungsarbeit bei den Goldschürfern versucht das Institut die Situation zu verbessern.

Our fund this week has brought us £425 to start our November appeal, leaving £3,075 to raise to meet our target of £3,500 by the end of the month.
We thank a generous reader for £100, a veteran comrade from Buckinghamshire for £50 and another stalwart from Southall for £50. And we thank all those who continue to pay by standing order at regular intervals.
This week is the anniversary of the Russian Revolution, a great day to be celebrated around the world in spite of the 1990 counter-revolution. The revolution is still celebrated in Russia because Putin and his government know they would not last long if it was not acknowledged.
We need a revolution here; our ruling class has gone crazy with greed and power lust. They are hiding their money away in tax havens and laughing as poor people are facing cold, hunger and homelessness from their tax cuts. If we had a revolution we could change the currency the next day and turn all their hidden stashes into waste paper.

Daddy was in the Air Force. He wore the uniform proudly and served during the Korean War. I almost joined the Air Force right after graduating from high school, but I chickened out. It really takes a special kind of person to wear an armed forces uniform…to stand and fight and die for freedom, ours and others who deserve the same.

Transfer of ownership today
TGIF: An eventful seven days in the music biz comes to a tidy resolution today with the formal transfer of the ownership of EMI Music from Citigroup to Universal. Frankly, we feel kinda relieved and drained at the same time, as if we'd just finished a 700-page novel. But never fear—the next volume in the series will surely provide some intrigue of its own, as UMG auctions off the stipulated assets in an auction that should attract a colorful field of bidders, while lots of people—some famous, some not—find themselves in new locations and altered circumstances. . As Dan Wilson, onetime leader of MCA Records' Semisonic, memorably wrote late in the last century, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." (9/28a)


On Monday, there was a mysterious door that appeared in the hall! It was covered in vines, cobwebs and even blood stained handprints! There was even a signpost that told us where the door might lead to such as : the past, the present, the future, space and even the unknown! Across the school, we had a fantastic time writing lots of different things about the door. We have written setting descriptions, adventure stories and even monsters that lurked behind the door!


I loved GTA Vice City as I loved GTA III, San Andreas and the 'stories' add ons, played them all very much. Of course GTA IV and V are better games technically but there is less fun in them in my opinion. It's all so serious and in GTA V you even had to torture a guy for the story to move on. WTF?! Also what I really miss is WWII shooters with some atmosphere like Medal Of Honor Allied Assault. Yes, Call Of Duty (WWII parts) were entertaining as well but MOHAA had such a great movie feeling with all these 'behind enemy lines' missions plus the excellent score. Epic stuff indeed.
This is very good goa trance and regarding the era it's 'newschool'. It's dirty, i mean really dirty. It's funky as hell and it's willful in a positive way. Producers should be inspired by this track.
I remember the year 2010. Merkaba released an album and so did Tetrameth and Minimal Criminal. All of them were and still are excellent albums. Seriously, how great was that particular style people started calling 'zenonesque' at some point. Between 2006 and 2014 there was a really creative output within this style of psytrance. The music was dark without being negative and/or aggressive and it was very creative, funky and yes: Psychedelic. Today 'zenonesque' seems quite dead, right? Ok, Zenon Records is still around but they changed their direction to a more technoish style. Cosmic Conspiracy Records didn't realease anything in a long time and even the latest Merkaba album and new tracks from other talented artists don't really do the trick anymore. Technically perfect music but with a lack of heart and true inspiration in my opinion. ^ great piece of music from 2006 ^ So, what style of today's psytrance offers a ~135-ish~ BPM plus creative ideas and a positive and progressive sound design? Any suggestions? Comments?
Ok, back on the actual topic: An example: Psychaos' track 'Intellect'. It's not even an outstanding track, just a good one. It has a certain level of funk though, it's funky and it just rocks, doesn't sound overproduced. I know maybe 10-12 tracks from the 'newschool era' that deliver that level of quality. That's not much is it? That's why the pioneers (not gods!) of Goa Trance get that much respect while newcomers don't get that much of it.
The truth here is that all Hindu gods are Aryan gods. I don't care about the artwork and voice samples in Trance music, musicians can be wrong as they are not priests. Anyway, the truth is that there were of course inner circles within the National Socialist Party and especially within the SS. The truth is that those guys had direct contact to these Aryan beings considering themselves gods. These contacts were established by female mediums and further developed by machines using radio technology. The truth is that these beings have the power to control the thoughts and actions of humans who are not free thinkers. The truth is that the Dalai Lama has very detailed information about all these facts and the truth is that he will never be willing to talk about this to anybody. The truth is that our only hope are young human beings who were born after the year 2001 plus very few brave assholes (that's a compliment) who were born before that year. Still not twisted enough? Well here we go: The truth is that Jesus Christ is in fact an undercover agent working for these Aryan gods. The only remaining question is: Is Jesus Christ in fact loyal to these Aryan gods and an envious little poison dwarf who hates all mankind? Or is he just playing with his Aryan employers and planning to kick their asses at the point when they become fat and slow enough? That's for everyone to decide based on their own impressions. The truth is that what happens as soon as those Aryan gods take over this world is not like in 'The Matrix', it's more like Hellraiser II Gulag style and anybody who ever saw this with their own eyes has the primary goal to never see this again. Naturally I'm out of here if this point might be reached some day. Anyway no need to worry as I would be back within seconds, totally undercover, friendly and nice. Now don't reply to this and say things like "Get help". Help is a strong word with mostly negative results. Don't say "Get love" as I am love. Edit: I searched for a topic about gods, that's why I posted this here. After reading the original post I noticed this topic isn't about gods at all so feel free to delete or move this post dear moderators.
Not saying I hate them but yeah, quite annoying.
'Koss The Plug' are quite cheap and they do the job very well if handled properly.
Interesting. Thank you for the info. Everybody: Save your DJ sets properly. No, not later. Now!
To be honest I don't know any album from the Goa or even Psychedelic Trance genre that i ever listened from start to finish. There are great albums like Alien Protein of course but even this one has a non trance track on it so i always skip it. Alien Protein is a great album and so is Language Of Light by Merkaba but for me Trance music always is about great tracks, not great albums.
What I love about the USA is the fact that people believe in themselves at first. After that they believe in their country or they do not believe in their country, whatever. In Germany and Austria as well people believe in their country at first, not necessarily like patriots but they just believe in the state, they do as they are told. In the US people cross the streets as they see fit. In Germany and Austria people cross the street when some sign tells them to do so. That being said I strongly believe we as humans need an officially elected world government yesterday or at least today. We need that as soon as possible. You can just forget about the Bilderberg meetings, the CFR, Trilateral Commission, etc. If those guys were as clever and dangerous as conspiracy theorists believe, we would actually have an officially elected world government by now. So as long as there is no officially elected world government, my non biological 12 year old sister from Austria is the world government and I am her consigliere. Any complaints? No? Fine, go on!


BACKGROUND: Hyperhomocysteinaemia is highly prevalent among haemodialysis patients and may contribute to their increased cardiovascular risk. Treatment with pharmacological doses of folic acid lowers the plasma homocysteine concentration in these patients. The purpose of the present study was to expand the knowledge about such treatment by testing the effects of stepwise increases in the dose of folic acid on the concentrations of plasma and red blood cell folate as well as the total plasma concentrations of homocysteine (tHcy), cysteine (tCys), and glutathione (tGSH) in patients on chronic hemodialysis. METHODS: Fourteen stable haemodialysis patients completed the study which consisted of four consecutive periods, each of 6 weeks duration: (i) no treatment with folic acid (control period); (ii) 5 mg of folic acid three times per week (15 mg/week); (iii) 5 mg of folic acid daily (35 mg/week); (iv) 10 mg of folic acid daily (70 mg/week). RESULTS: Neither plasma or red cell folate nor plasma aminothiol concentrations changed significantly during the control period. The mean red cell folate concentration doubled during the administration of folic acid at the dose of 15 mg/week but at higher doses the further rise was only marginal. The mean folate concentration in plasma increased steeply especially at the higher doses of folic acid. During treatment with 15 mg/week of folic acid, tHcy fell by a mean of 36%, tGSH increased by a mean of 34%, but tCys was unaffected. Increases in the dose of folic acid did not augment these responses. CONCLUSIONS: The maximal effect on tHcy seemed to be obtained already at the lowest given dose of folic acid (15 mg/week). At that dose, the red blood cells approached folate saturation, which may reflect the situation in other cells that participate in homocysteine metabolism and explain why further increases in the dose of folic acid are not effective from a tHcy-lowering point of view.

Most widely adapted red clover on the market today!
Red Clover: Red clover is an upright, short-lived perennial. It has a strong tap-root that allows it to use subsoil moisture in summer better than white clover. It doesn't tolerate dry conditions or drought, or poorly drained soils. Red clover provides extra feed in late spring and summer in high rainfall areas, irrigated pastures or on naturally summer-moist soils that are well drained. May be sown in pure swards as a specialist crop for hay, silage or grazing. Rotational grazing will promote plant longevity and persistence. Most cultivars do not persist beyond 2 to 3 years. Sowing rate: 6-8kg/ha (Pure) 2-3kg/ha (Mixes).
Barduro is a persistent red clover named for its hardiness and durability. It is extremely drought and heat tolerant, making it a perfect choice for dry or sloped pastures. Barduro has proved competitive in stands of fescue and bermudagrass, making it an excellent choice for overseeding pastures. It has a high yield potential, making Barduro an excellent choice for hay production. Due to its persistent nature and durability, Barduro is also well-suited for grazing.


December 7, 2018 — iCAD Inc. announced clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their latest, deep-learning, cancer detection software solution for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), ProFound AI. The solution built on artificial intelligence (AI) is now available to healthcare facilities in the U.S.
The FDA clearance is based on positive clinical results from a large reader study completed earlier this year and presented at the 2018 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, Nov. 25-30 in Chicago. The research was performed with 24 radiologists who read 260 tomosynthesis cases both with and without iCAD's ProFound AI solution. The findings show increased cancer detection rates, reduced false positive rates and patient recalls, and a significant decrease in interpretation times.
ProFound AI is a high-performance, deep-learning, cancer detection and workflow solution for DBT, delivering improvement of cancer detection rates by an average of 8 percent and decreasing unnecessary patient recall rates by an average of 7 percent. The new technology is trained to detect malignant soft-tissue densities and calcifications. It also provides radiologists with scoring information representing the likelihood that a detection or case is malignant based on the large dataset of clinical images used to train the algorithm.
In addition to improving clinical performance related to breast cancer detection and false positive rates, study results showed ProFound AI can reduce radiologists' reading time by more than 50 percent on average. An increase in reading time has been a significant challenge for radiologists when moving from 2-D to 3-D mammography.
The solution is currently available for use with - DBT systems in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

Celebrating the Year in Nonesuch Music: 2020
As 2020 draws to a close, and the Nonesuch Journal takes a bit of a hiatus till the start of what we hope will be a much happier, healthier new year, it's time to take a look back and remember all of the great and diverse music made by Nonesuch artists over the past year—despite and in some cases in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many Nonesuch artists and their recent Nonesuch releases have made music critics' and fans' year-end best lists. And Spike Lee's film of David Byrne's American Utopia, for which Nonesuch released the original cast album in late 2019, landed on just about every list of the year's best films and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Musical Theater Album. As NPR's Glen Weldon writes: "It was a year when we were starved for good feelings, a year when mere happiness felt like ecstatic joy, and real ecstatic joy—like that on glorious display on a Broadway stage by a barefoot David Byrne and a cadre of musicians in matching gray suits—could leave you breathless, swooning and profoundly grateful."
So here, in words and music and in chronological order, is a look back at the year in Nonesuch music, in gratitude:
Suite for Max Brown
The new year began with the first project in a new partnership with International Anthem: composer/multi-instrumentalist Jeff Parker's album Suite for Max Brown, released on January 24. The album is named for and dedicated to his mother and features nine original songs plus "Gnarciss," an interpretation of Joe Henderson's "Black Narcissus," and John Coltrane's "After the Rain." Parker plays the majority of the instruments on the album. "The veteran guitarist has created an effortlessly detailed album, full of tradition and experimentation that spans generations," says Pitchfork. "It lives at the vanguard of new jazz music."
Suite for Max Brown has made year-end best lists from Rolling Stone, NPR Music, Aquarium Drunkard, Paste, Fretboard Journal, Brooklyn Vegan, Guardian, Jazzwise, Mojo, The Quietus, Record Collector, and Uncut.
Prairie Winter Wasteland
Daughter of Swords—Mountain Man's Alexandra Sauser-Monnig—released a seasonally appropriate single "Prairie Winter Wasteland" on February 5. The track was produced by Jeff Tweedy and recorded at his Chicago studio The Loft. Tweedy joins her on a variety of instruments, with his son Spencer on drums and Nick Macri on bass. The song "is a reflection on the way our emotional experiences of place are shaped in powerful and mystical ways by the people we've know there," says Sauser-Monnig. "The way a certain quality of sunlight, or the call of a particular bird can conjure such specific associations, and can break your heart or lift you up."
From This Place
On From This Place, released on February 21, Pat Metheny is joined by drummer Antonio Sanchez, bassist Linda May Han Oh, pianist Gwilym Simcock, the Hollywood Studio Symphony led by Joel McNeely, and special guests Meshell Ndegeocello (vocals), Gregoire Maret (harmonica), and Luis Conte (percussion). "This is extraordinary music," says Stereogum. "His most audacious album yet," exclaims Mojo, "a breathtakingly immersive experience that affirms Metheny as a consummate musical storyteller. A transcendent album, From This Place is possibly the Missouri fretboard maestro's most impressive opus yet."
The title track to From This Place has been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals. The album has made year-end best lists from Rolling Stone, Jazzwise, Record Collector, and Fretboard Journal.
In a Bind (Strings Version) / Wits About You (Saxophone Version)
On March 10, Vagabon released a single with two alternate versions of songs from her critically praised 2019 self-titled album: "In A Bind (Strings Version)" and "Wits About You (Saxophone Version)." "When recording 'In a Bind' for the album," she says, "I struggled with what arrangement was best for the song. Originally, I thought it should include soaring strings and be very theatrical and dramatic ... I'm glad this string version gets to see the light of day."
Satin Doll
Sam Gendel made his Nonesuch Records album debut with the release of Satin Doll on March 13. On this futuristic homage to historical jazz, three musicians—Gendel on saxophone and other things, Gabe Noel on electric bass, and Philippe Melanson on electronic percussion—engage in simultaneous synchronized sonic construction/deconstruction of well-known jazz standards, including Miles Davis's "Freddie Freeloader," Charles Mingus's "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," and Duke Ellington's "Satin Doll." "A woozy, blissfully twisted album," says the Los Angeles Times.
Satin Doll has made year-end lists from Bandcamp and Aquarium Drunkard.
Singing for My Supper
Making another debut on March 13 was Early James, who released his first album, Singing for My Supper, then on Easy Eye Sound/Nonesuch Records. The album spans hard-charging blues, wistful folk, and ages-old pop crooning, anchored by the singer's voice that oscillates from gravel-gruff shout to a honey-smooth whisper. James' inspirations run from Fiona Apple and Tom Waits to the Southern gothic poets, as heard in the album's darker themes and in the wry humor with which he writes about them. He "dazzles on his luminous debut," says Mojo, "this astonishingly assured album."
Singing for My Supper made Mojo's year-end best list for Americana.
As the world went into lockdown, Randy Newman wrote and recorded "Stay Away," a call for social distancing in the fight against COVID-19, released on April 17. Proceeds from the single support the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music's efforts to broaden opportunities for underserved children and young musicians in New Orleans' Ninth Ward.
"Stay Away" made Mail on Sunday's list of the Best Songs of the Year.
Sings Kacey Musgraves
Continuing the series of covers singles it began in 2019, Mountain Man released Mountain Man Sings Kacey Musgraves on May 5, performing "Slow Burn" from Musgraves' 2018 album, Golden Hour. "We are all huge fans of Kacey Musgraves," says the band. "'Slow Burn' embodies the magic of the unfolding of life, the power of being present and patient and knowing that sometimes things just take time. Like following a thread—it requires attention and curiosity."
Just the Two of Us (feat. Sxip Shirey)
"We made this song in a very un-socially distanced time, a few years ago," Rhiannon Giddens says of her take on Bill Withers' "Just the Two of Us" featuring Sxip Shirey, released on May 7. "When Bill Withers passed, we suddenly remembered we had made this and thought it would serve as the perfect backdrop to the reality of where we are now—staying inside so that our healthcare workers have the best chance to fight this virus that cares nothing for the artificial divisions we have put up between us." Proceeds from the track go to Global Giving's Coronavirus Relief Fund.
I Still Play
I Still Play, out on May 22, is eleven new solo piano compositions by artists who have recorded for Nonesuch Records, written in honor of the label's longtime President Bob Hurwitz on the occasion of his 2017 shift into the Chairman Emeritus role. The album features works by John Adams, Laurie Anderson, Timo Andres, Louis Andriessen, Donnacha Dennehy, Philip Glass, Nico Muhly, Brad Mehldau, Steve Reich, Pat Metheny, and Randy Newman, performed by Andres, Mehldau, Newman, and Jeremy Denk.
The Magnetic Fields closed out the month with Quickies, a five 7" vinyl box set of twenty-eight new short songs by Stephin Merritt, ranging in length from thirteen seconds to two minutes and thirty-five seconds, performed by Merritt and band members Sam Davol, Claudia Gonson, Shirley Simms, and John Woo, along with longtime friends and collaborators Chris Ewen, Daniel Handler, and Pinky Weitzman. "Miniature gems," says the Guardian. "Extraordinary." A translucent magenta vinyl edition of Quickies was released for Record Store Day's Black Friday on November 27.
Quickies has made Mojo's list of the year's best albums.
Suite: April 2020
While sheltering at home with his family during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brad Mehldau wrote twelve new songs about what he was experiencing; he was able to record them safely in a studio, together with tunes by Neil Young, Billy Joel, and Jerome Kern that mean a great deal to him, for this album, Suite: April 2020. The album was first released on June 12 as a limited-edition deluxe LP and digitally—one thousand numbered and signed copies, with a minimum of $90 from each sale going to the Jazz Foundation of America's COVID-19 Musician's Emergency Fund—and on CD and standard vinyl on September 18.
Butterfly / Rarities (1998–2017)
On June 26, Natalie Merchant released two digital albums that had first been released as part of the 2017 ten-disc box set The Natalie Merchant Collection: Butterfly, a new studio set featuring four new songs and six reinterpreted selections from her catalog, all arranged for string quartet; and Rarities, a collection of fifteen rare and previously unreleased tracks recorded between 1998 and 2017, which offers a unique view of Merchant's creative experimentation through home studio demos, album outtakes, live tracks, and collaborations with diverse artists like Billy Bragg, David Byrne, The Chieftains, Cowboy Junkies, and Amy Helm.
Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, Brian Blade
RoundAgain
The members of the original Joshua Redman Quartet—Redman (saxophone), Brad Mehldau (piano), Christian McBride (bass), and Brian Blade (drums)—reunited with RoundAgain, out July 10, the group's first recording since 1994's MoodSwing. The album features seven newly composed songs: three from Redman, two from Mehldau, and one each from McBride and Blade. "A flawless effort," exclaims NPR. "Each one of them is at the very top of his game now."
RoundAgain has been nominated for two Grammy Awards: Best Jazz Instrumental Album and Best Improvised Jazz Solo, for Joshua Redman, on the track "Moe Honk." The album has made year's best lists from Rolling Stone and NPR Music.
Water Me Down (Pamcy Remix)
Vagabon's second release of 2020 was a remix of "Water Me Down" by Manila-based DJ/producer Pamcy, on July 14. She had discovered and fallen in love with Pamcy's music on Bandcamp, where Vagabon herself had first released her music and found a music community. The two began an e-mail correspondence, which eventually led to the creation of this remix of a song from Vagabon's 2019 self-titled Nonesuch debut album.
Lianne La Havas's acclaimed self-titled, third album, released on July 17, spans the arc of a relationship. "What plays a big role in the album is the idea of the life cycle of plants and nature—equating this journey with a seasonal thing that blooms, thrives, goes away, and comes back even stronger," she says. Its musical references are as varied as Milton Nascimento, Joni Mitchell, Jaco Pastorious, Al Green, and Destiny's Child. In keeping with the album's intimate feel, everyone who contributed is a trusted collaborator, including longtime songwriting ally Matt Hales, co-producer Beni Giles, and guest co-producer Mura Masa.
Lianne La Havas has made year's best lists from New York Times, NPR Music, Pitchfork, Noisey, Paste, PopMatters, WFUV, KCRW, Stereogum, Mojo, Uncut, and Financial Times.
Vast Ovoid
Devendra Banhart's four-song EP Vast Ovoid, released on July 24, followed his 2019 studio album, Ma, about which Q says: "Banhart's singular world remains as intoxicating as ever, as if all human life is here." The EP, available in a limited-edition 12" white vinyl 45, includes the Helado Negro remix of the Ma song "Love Song" and three songs "that didn't quite fit in with Ma's theme of maternity," Banhart says. "Ultimately all three songs are about the difference between disappointment and disillusion … Bigger difference than I realized ..."
Look at Me Don't Look at Me
Mountain Man's Look at Me Don't Look at Me, released August 7, was recorded live at Saint Mark's Cathedral in Seattle in November 2018, capturing the intimacy of the band's live shows. The recording includes songs from the trio's Nonesuch album Magic Ship and its 2010 debut, Made the Harbor; covers of Fiona Apple's "Hot Knife" and Michael Hurley's "Blue Mountain"; and the group's singularly quirky banter. "One of our favorite things in life is singing together to a bunch of people in a room," says the band. "We hope this recording brings you some of the joy you may have been missing until the next time we can all be together."
Nazareth / Good Woman singles
The Staves released the song "Nazareth," their first new music since its 2017 EP with yMusic, on August 7. "We recorded 'Nazareth' in one take on a field recorder sat outside the studio in the summer of 2018," says the band of the track. "The sun was shining and the birds were singing. We tried recording it in the studio but just kept coming back to this version. It seemed to have the magic.  The song was intended to be in the spirit of an Irish blessing or a kind of a prayer, asking to be kept safe—but it pretty quickly became a more personal and introspective lyric. Moments of glory quickly faded. Worrying, trying. How we mean everything and nothing at the same time. To everyone, to no one."
"Nazareth" would be followed in quick succession by "Trying," another new track, on September 10, and about a month after that by the announcement of the 2021 release of Good Woman, the trio's first album in six years. "Trying" is on the new album, as are the title track, which arrived in October, and "Satisfied," which came December 3.
Don't Call Me Names
"The framework in the song is a love affair, but it can happen in any kind of connection," Rhiannon Giddens says of her song "Don't Call Me Names," which she released on August 23. "The real story was accepting my inner strength and refusing to continue being gas-lit and held back; and refusing to keep sacrificing my mental health for the sake of anything or anyone ... When I listen to it, the anger that I felt then now is the anger I feel at my entire country being gas-lit, held back, and sacrificed. We have to keep saying NO to toxic behavior, no matter how small or large the stage, and keep saying it nice and loud."
The Call Within
On his new album, The Call Within, released August 28, pianist/composer Tigran Hamasyan performs ten original compositions, with Evan Marien on electric bass and Arthur Hnatek on drums. Produced by Hamasyan, the album is a journey into his dreamlike inner world, taking inspiration from his interest in maps from different eras, poetry, Armenian folk stories, astrology, geometry, ancient Armenian design, rock carvings, and cinematography, and creating what Record Collector calls "a kaleidoscopic tapestry of sound." Jazzwise exclaims: "An exceptional recording for exceptional times."
The Call Within has made year's best lists from Jazziz and Jazzwise.
Home Soon (Antebellum Film Mix)
The third of three Vagabon releases for the year, out on September 18, is new mix of her song "Home Soon," from her self-titled Nonesuch debut album, featured in the film Antebellum starring Janelle Monáe.
Half-Light (Acoustic)
Another single out September 18 came from Rostam, who celebrated the three-year anniversary of his Nonesuch debut, Half-Light, with an acoustic version of the album's title track. The song, which was originally released as part of a compilation album benefitting Fair Fight, features Rostam solo and multi-tracked on guitar, drums, piano, hammond organ, and bass.
Mass for the Endangered
Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider's Mass for the Endangered, released on New Amsterdam and Nonesuch Records on September 25, with a libretto by poet/writer Nathaniel Bellows, is a celebration of, and an elegy for, the natural world—animals, plants, insects, the planet itself—an appeal for greater awareness, urgency, and action. Originally commissioned by Trinity Church Wall Street, this recording features the English vocal ensemble Gallicantus conducted by Gabriel Crouch.
Mass for the Endangered has made year's best lists from NPR Music, The Nation, KEXP, WQXR, and I Care If You Listen.
Sings Simple Gifts
In the second in its cover singles series for 2020, Mountain Man performs the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts," which arrived September 29. "'Simple Gifts' is one of those incredible songs that transforms you while you sing it," says the trio. "It's like an incantation, and it was a joy to record."
Making Do
"'Making Do' is about the world that future generations are inheriting," Lake Street Dive says of its new song, released on September 30. "We are all concerned about what is happening to our planet, so the song explores what arises when we consider both our role in it and our responsibility to address it. Hopefully it comes through as a rallying cry to do the best you can with what you have."
Sam Gendel released his second album of the year, DRM, on October 1. On the album, for which he released a video to every song, Gendel performs solo musical experiments with vintage instruments—a forty-year-old Electro Harmonix DRM32 drum machine, antique synthesizers, a sixty-year-old nylon-string guitar—accompanied by his voice. The album includes one cover song: Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," which Gendel interprets as an instrumental, playing the melody on an old German analogue synthesizer. The vinyl is due April 16, 2021.
DRM made the Los Angeles Times' list of the Year's Best L.A. Albums of 2020.
Over That Road I'm Bound
On his Nonesuch Records debut album, Over That Road I'm Bound, released October 2, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joachim Cooder uses the plain-spoken songs of country-music progenitor and banjo player Uncle Dave Macon as a jumping off point, tinkering with the lyrics and reworking melodies for his chosen instrument: an electric mbira. Cooder culled songs from Macon's vast catalog and recorded them with his band and special guests: Ry Cooder, Rayna Gellert, Juliette Commagere, Sam Gendel, Glenn Patscha, Amir Yaghmai, Dan Gellert, and Vieux Farka Touré. "Warm, uplifting, and quietly spectacular," says Uncut. "A buoyant and joyful long-player," says Mojo.
Over That Road I'm Bound made year's best lists from Folk Alley, Fretboard Journal, and Roots Radio WMOT.
Mountain Manr
Sings Neil Young
On Mountain Man Sings Neil Young, the third of its cover singles in 2020, out October 14, the trio performs "Through My Sails," from Young's 1975 album, Zuma. "Neil Young has been a pillar of the soundtrack along the Mountain Man road from Vermont to the windy ocean roads of California," says the band. "'Through My Sails' is such a gentle secret at the end of Zuma and it felt immediately natural and right sinking into the harmonies of Neil Young with Crosby, Stills and Nash."
Sam Amidon considers his self-titled album, which he produced, to be the fullest realization to date of his artistic vision. On the album, released October 23, he performs radical reworkings of mostly traditional folk songs with his frequent band, multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily and drummer Chris Vatalaro, along with saxophonist and label mate Sam Gendel, guitarist Bert Cools, bassist Ruth Goller, and Amidon's wife, Beth Orton, who adds vocals on three songs. The vinyl is due January 22, 2021.
Sam Amidon made year-end lists from Aquarium Drunkard and Fretboard Journal.
Thank You, New York (2020) feat. Gaby Moreno
Chris Thile updated his song "Thank You, New York," featuring Gaby Moreno, as the setting for choreographer Justin Peck's new piece, which the New York City Ballet premiered on October 31. The original version was featured on Thile's 2017 album, Thanks for Listening. "Right now, with how easy it is to be the talker on social media, how hard it is to maintain focus or give something enough attention to appreciate it, we're in a place where listening is a precious commodity," Thile said. The songs are "a celebration of people who haven't switched off, despite being given every reason to do so."
Sings Greensleeves
In its final cover single of the year, out November 5, Mountain Man performs the English folk song "Greensleeves." "'Greensleeves' is one of our favorite winter songs," says the trio. "It occupies a strange melodic balance point between crystalline winter whimsy and the kind of grim determination required to embark into the emotional wilds of the holiday season."
Drift Multiply
Tristan Perich's Drift Multiply, for 50 violins and 50-channel 1-bit electronics, is the second album of the year on New Amsterdam and Nonesuch Records, released on November 13. The composer's largest work to date, it is conducted on the album by Douglas Perkins. Scored as one hundred individual lines of music, the piece blends violins and speakers into a cascading tapestry of tone, harmony, and noise. The violins perform from sheet music, while the speakers are each connected to custom-built circuit boards programmed to output 1-bit audio, the most basic digital waveforms made of just ones and zeroes.
Drift Multiply has made year's best lists from the New York Times, PopMatters, and Bandcamp.
Sweeney Todd (Film Soundtrack) LP
The soundtrack to Tim Burton's film of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, first released on Nonesuch Records in 2007, was released in its first-ever vinyl edition, a two-LP set, on November 13. The film, which won the Golden Globe for Best Picture, is an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's Tony Award–winning musical, starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and the late Alan Rickman. "Something close to a masterpiece, a work of extreme—I am tempted to say evil—genius," exclaimed the New York Times' A.O. Scott. "This Sweeney is a bloody wonder," raved Rolling Stone's Peter Travers, "intimate and epic, horrific and heart-rending as it flies on the wings of Sondheim's most thunderously exciting score."
Dimensional Stardust
For his 2020 album with Exploding Star Orchestra, Dimensional Stardust, the second release of the year from International Anthem and Nonesuch Records, out November 20, multidisciplinary artist Rob Mazurek arranged his pieces for eleven musicians, including Jeff Parker, and commissioned his long-time lyrics collaborator Damon Locks to draft original texts for the songs. The album recalls an array of Mazurek's symphonic influences, from Béla Bartók to Morton Feldman to Gil Evans to Sun Ra to Pedro Santos to Bill Dixon to The Art Ensemble of Chicago. Opting to focus on tight ensemble orchestration over passages of open improvisation, he distills an orchestra of explosive improvisers into a graceful group exercise in melodic minimalism.
Dimensional Stardust has made year's best lists from the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Aquarium Drunkard, Mojo, and The Quietus.
Watershed LP
The first-ever vinyl release of k.d. lang's 2008 Nonesuch album, Watershed, declared "a masterpiece" by the Times, arrived on November 20. As the title suggests, Watershed represented a milestone in lang's career. For the first time, she assumed the role of producer, as well as writer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. "Watershed is like a culmination of everything I've done," lang said; "there's a little bit of jazz, a little country, a little of the Ingénue sound, a little Brazilian touch. It really feels like the way I hear music, this mash-up of genres, and I think it reflects all the styles that have preceded this in my catalogue. I didn't feel the need to be genre-specific because this experience felt so wide open."
Devendra Banhart's cover of The Grateful Dead's "Franklin's Tower," recorded in honor of the 45th anniversary of The Grateful Dead album Blues for Allah, was first released as an Amazon Original on September 3 and made available everywhere December 4. The song was produced and mixed by Noah Georgeson and recorded with his current touring band: Nicole Lawrence on guitar, Jeremy Harris on synths, and Gregory Rogove on drums and percussion. It was recorded remotely in various studios and home studios around Los Angeles and Stinson Beach, CA.
Clint Mansell & Kronos Quartet
Requiem for a Dream soundtrack LP
Clint Mansell's haunting score to director Darren Aronofsky's 2000 film Requiem for a Dream, performed by Kronos Quartet, returned to vinyl for the film's 20th anniversary year, on December 4. The soundtrack was originally released on Nonesuch in 2000; the first vinyl edition was released for Record Store Day in 2016 with new artwork and two previously unreleased bonus tracks. The new 2-LP vinyl edition, which also includes the bonus tracks, features the original 2000 soundtrack cover art for the anniversary. "Brilliant stuff," says Classic FM.
Christmas in Washington
Joachim Cooder's cover of Steve Earle's "Christmas in Washington," recorded just weeks ago in Los Angeles and released December 18, features Cooder, who produced the track, on vocals, array mbira, and percussion; Rayna Gellert on fiddle; and Juliette Commagere on backing vocals. "Since Steve Earle released 'Christmas in Washington' in 1997 I've been listening to it year in and year out," he says. "After the election and the last four years we've been through, and with Christmas approaching, I thought it was time we all checked back in with Steve. Now more than ever, it seems all a man can do is call out for Woody Guthrie to rise again."
Live at the Roundhouse
Lianne La Havas's Live at the Roundhouse EP, released December 18, features five songs from an intimate live-streamed performance she gave from the famed London venue in July: four from her 2020 self-titled album plus "Midnight" from her previous album, Blood. Vocalist Frida Touray joins for two songs.
Brothers - Deluxe Remastered Anniversary Edition
The Black Keys mark ten years of their four-time Grammy Award–winning album Brothers with a deluxe, remastered 10th anniversary edition, available in a limited-edition 7" vinyl box set, featuring the remastered original album plus three previously unavailable songs on nine 7" singles, a 60-page book with a new liner note by David Fricke and photos from the archives, a poster, and a cover printed with special heat-sensitive ink. Released December 18 in the US and Canada and worldwide January 1, it is also available in a two-LP 12" set and on CD, both with the extra tracks and updated booklet. The album, recorded primarily at Alabama's legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, is "a masterpiece," exclaimed Rolling Stone; Uncut said it proves The Black Keys to be "one of the best rock 'n' roll bands on the planet."

As 2020 draws to a close, and the Nonesuch Journal takes a bit of a hiatus till the start of what we hope will be a much happier, healthier new year, it's time to take a look back and remember all of the great and diverse music made by Nonesuch artists over the past year—despite and in some cases in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many Nonesuch artists and their recent Nonesuch releases have made music critics' and fans' year-end best lists. Here, in words and music and in chronological order, is a look back at the year in Nonesuch music, in gratitude.


I am not a conspiracy theorist, but if you throw something in my lap that looks and smells like a conspiracy, I may bite. What else am I to think concerning this electronic voting machine scandal? On the surface, it would appear as if the Republicans are all for these machines since their party controls Congress and we have yet to see anything in the way of a motion or bill to require a paper trail. However, when you think about it, I would argue that senior citizens as a group would tend to be more Republican than Democrat. And I would also argue that these same seniors will have difficulty operating these machines (a guess, but one also based on anecdotal evidence: interviews of people who have observed such trouble at polling booths equipped with these machines). So, you would think that the Republicans would want to insure that their base-supporters would be assured of having a clear-cut way to vote 100% Republican, and yet I have not heard a peep of protest. Hmmm. It's for this reason that I tend to believe in the conspiracy that the machines can be rigged, i.e. they don't even need the seniors to vote with intent….


this! Don't wait for my approval.
It took one day to write the multi-merge notification. It works just fine.
run_and_verify_svn(), rather than run_and_verify_merge(). Why?
parse-trees, rather than passing literal expected-output.
problem: let's teach run_and_verify_merge() to work on single files.
that has been stumping me.
If someone has a better idea here, please give it a shot!
Have 'svn merge' notify client when it merges each range.
(svn_wc_notify_t): new 'merge_range' field to describe range being merged.
(svn_wc_create_notify): have constructor explicitly NULL new field.
(svn_wc_dup_notify): duplicate the new merge_range_t field.
(do_merge, do_single_file_merge): send new merge_begin notification.
(notify): print the merge_begin notification, describe range being merged.
/* NOTE: Add new fields at the end to preserve binary compatibility.
- # so use run_and_verify_svn.
# elide to the latter, leaving no mereginfo on alpha.
# process for every file and dir in the working copy!
- files. If IGNORE_SVN is true, then exclude SVN admin dirs from the tree.
- If LOAD_PROPS is true, the props will be added to the tree."""
+ PATH is a single file, return a 'tree' of exactly one file node.
+ If IGNORE_SVN is true, then exclude .svn admin dirs from the tree.
+ If LOAD_PROPS is true, then scan properties when building the tree."""
# if necessary, store the root dir's props in a new child node '.'.
