Booming Urban Populations Demand New Approaches In Kenya
Developing infrastructure to keep pace with rapidly growing cities is a major hurdle for developing countries when revenue is not distributed equitably, including for urbanisation.
In Kenya, Australia Awards alumna Sheila Yieke is a Director of Legal Services at the Commission on Revenue Allocation, established in 2010 to make recommendations on the equitable share of revenue between the national government and the country's 47 counties.
This includes conditional grants to cities to fund infrastructure development, with grants tied to national policies, including Kenya Vision 2030 and the President's
Big 4 Agenda.
Sheila has been instrumental in shaping the Commission's mandate, using '100 per cent' of the skills and knowledge she gained through an Australia Awards Short Course in Public-Private Infrastructure Partnership (PPIP) at the University of Queensland in 2018.
'After the course, I developed a concept note for the Commission to recommend to Parliament an additional conditional grant to cities for 2019–20,' says Sheila. 'This will help address services in urban areas that had deteriorated because of previous revenue distribution. The money will attract investors wanting to partner with government.'
The recommendation, which was submitted to Parliament in December 2018, is expected to be incorporated into the Division of Revenue Bill in June 2019. If accepted, five cities growing at rapid rates due to continual migration —Eldoret, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nairobi and Nakuru—will receive conditional grants they can leverage towards PPP infrastructure projects.
'The PPP model—pivotal to delivering many significant infrastructure projects around the world—is commonly used in countries like Australia,' says Sheila.
While studying, Sheila learned about the PPP conceptual framework, including in the African context, and about essential policy, legal and regulatory frameworks. She also learned about designing, preparing, negotiating and implementing PPPs.
'In Kenya, for our cities of the future, we need to apply fundamental financing principles, including return on investment,' Sheila says. 'Without this, PPPs will not have stable cash flow and therefore not be attractive to private sector investors.
A challenge in Kenya is to make revenue sharing more transparent.'
'Revenue sharing must deal with competing agendas in a balanced way, with infrastructure one priority,' says Sheila. 'Rural areas get finances to ensure access to health care or education, but cities don't have enough money to build storm water drains, provide sufficient mass transport and invest in water and sewerage treatments. Many Kenyans aren't connected to a sewerage pipe. Untreated waste flowing into waterways is causing cholera outbreaks and diseases like typhoid.'
Sheila says these are just some of the critical services that are not being delivered in cities. Yet in five counties, more than half the population lives in urban areas, and in another eight counties, at least one-in-four people live in cities.
'We see room to increase conditional grants as a way to fund cities so they can invest in PPPs with a guarantee of available funding from national government,' says Sheila.
To get to this stage, the Commission on Revenue Allocation—through Sheila's office—worked with the Cities Forum, including representatives from the five cities, the Assemblies in each county and a consultant from the Academic Health and Agricultural Development Initiative. Sheila also analysed an integrated approach towards building resilient cities through the World Bank Resilient Cities program.
'We are talking about organising a "Cities Dialogue" forum in July 2019 to draw attention to the financing gap cities are facing,' says Sheila.
Sheila's work is an off-shoot of the Reintegration Action Plan she developed for her Australia Awards Short Course, which has allowed her to become an 'agent of change'.

SXSW Lite: Mutating Social Hustle Into Couch Potato Charm
Five days before I got on a plane to SXSW, the world turned. All international travel was cancelled by my institution. A hammer blow. It took time to emotionally process this lost opportunity. There was no Covid-19 in the United States, was there? Surely this was corporate paranoia.
This shock turned to grateful relief when the Austin Mayor, Steve Adler cancelled SXSW, responding to a glut of cancellations from attendees, sponsors, corporate entities and media organisations and a circulating local petition to cancel the event. Against SXSW's $355 million of economic benefit stood the Covid-19 threat. Adler stated, "if you're inviting 100,000 to 200,000 people into your city, you enhance the risk that the virus is going to arrive." We all learned later that it had already arrived as background noise across the United States. The cancellation was announced on March 6, just a week before the film festival was due to start (its dates were to be March 13-21) and was one of the first major film festivals to cancel, eliciting a response of, variously, shock, grief, sympathy and even (as in my case) relief. I had been rescued from being marooned in Austin without an event to attend. In the following week there was a global crescendo of cancelled events that would make such a trip complete folly.
SXSW's 2020 program would have presented 135 feature films, including 99 world premieres, nine North American premieres, five US premieres, and 75 films from first-time filmmakers. There would have been 119 short films including music videos, 12 episodic premieres, seven special events, 14 episodic pilots in two curated programs, 30 title design entries and 27 virtual cinema projects. While none of the films or works played to an audience, films in competition were still screened to the juries, who bestowed prizes on the films they deemed best in their respective categories.
As the dust settled SXSW announced that a selection of films would stream from their Screening Library for festival participants and press. Filmmakers needed to opt-in and only a fraction of the full program was initially available. Independent films, documentaries and short films dominated the remaining moving image works. This library grew over time. This was different. It was no longer a social or celebratory festival with stars and late-night meetings, yet films could be viewed with residential control and intimacy. A selection from this archive is considered in the remainder of this review.
The first feature viewed was a sci-fi fiction film, Noah Hutton's engaging Lapsis, watched with two family members before the lockdown. Lapsis delivered an unsettling sci-fi future, a world framed by a gig economy. Its dystopia reminded me of some of the class issues explored in Andrew Nicoll's classic Gattaca (1997). In a not too distant future, blue collar deliveryman Ray needs to step up to pay the medical bills for his young brother who suffers from "Omnia", a chronic fatigue illness. He takes on contract work for Quantum which requires trekking long cables from one large metal cube node to another through challenging forested terrain. This alternate universe is populated with drones and robots and enmeshes Ray in highly technologised forms of corporate slavery with game-play reminiscent of the institutional forces at play in our current contemporary environment. Through low budget, low key strategies Hutton effectively constructs this believable commodified corporate realm.
Understandably, coming out of this world, we re-entered a disturbing shifting present more unsettling than the one Hutton had constructed. This is not how science fiction normally functions. I subsequently gravitated my viewing to a primary interest in short film, animation and documentary, looking for work that could help frame approaching traumas. This seemed psychologically judicious.
Lapsis (Noah Hutton)
An initial fare of documentaries included The Pushback by Kevin Ford, TFW NO GF by Alex Lee Moyer, The Donut King by Alice Gu and Hamtramck, USA by Razi Jafri and Justin Feltman. Both The Pushback and Hamtramck, USA delivered clearer political insights than those available through the evening news. The Pushback highlights a range of progressive Texan politicians and activists, fighting for justice in this traditional "red state", including Veronica Escobar, one of the first Latinx people including to represent Texas in Congress, and Natasha Harper-Madison, the only African-American woman to run for city council in Austin in 2018. Harper-Mason's experience was notable, because it was only once she attained a slither or real power that the knives came out to cut her down through death threats and face-to-face assertions that she did not belong in the council chambers. The racism she implicitly experienced growing up had now manifested itself physically. The film also depicted the seizures of land to build the border wall. Fertile grazing land, an old homestead and access to the Rio Grande will end up on the wrong side of a wall that was being built some distance inland from the river. Father Roy Snipes from the La Lomita Chapel does not know how his Chapel will retain access to the waterfront. Monument One, the marker historically setting the border between Texas, New Mexico and Mexico will be on the wrong side of the wall and require special access. An Indian cemetery will have to be re-located.
Alex Lee Moyer's TFW No GF spreads out from where Angela Nagle's book Kill All Normies ends. Moyer offers up a vista of alienation, homelessness and suicide amongst a generation of disenfranchised, frustrated yet articulate young men through their online activities and her dialogue with them. She wraps it all up in the Wojak meme and uses this "movement's speed, its shorthand tweets, ironies, and evasive imagery to sputter out its half-truths in post-post-post-post punk angst. TFW NO GF is shorthand for "that feeling [I get] when [I have] no girlfriend" a phrase developed in online discussions to describe one's fragile emotional state as a result of loneliness and lack of companionship. It is the old story of being young and finding your place in the world, but here told through fragmentation and an acknowledged short end of the stick left by feminism for this emergent subculture. The alt.right, 4chan, a performative online disaffection and Kantbot's articulate rants offer a way out to "adulthood" for these socially alienated young men. The film offers a great manifesto-like insight into the next generation's gestural morphing screams – the pain seeps through – though it probably requires multiple viewings to mine all its layers.
Alice Gu's The Donut King offers a tragic joyride through the American dream. It is the story of a Cambodian refugee, Ted Ngoy, who escaped genocide to build a doughnut shop empire across the United States before franchising took hold. Each shop was populated by another family arriving out of Cambodia, whose Visas were sponsored by Ted. At the pinnacle of his success an attraction to high roller gambling in Las Vegas slowly cooked the goose that had laid the golden egg. This story is told with honesty, lack of malice and pain that this betrayal brought to his community and ends as a story of forgiveness and redemption. The film received Special Jury Recognition for Achievement in Documentary Storytelling from SXSW.
The Donut King (Alice Gu)
In Hamtramck, USA, Razi Jafri and Justin Feltman document the Council elections in Hamtramck, Michigan, a city of 22,000 and the first Muslim majority city in the United States. Karen Malewski sees herself as the last in a century-long line of Polish mayors. This is no longer a Polish city. Rallies, doorknocks and speeches are casually witnessed as the election calmly rolls on. Malevski persists but with an influx of Muslim representation on council. A sustained study of community, social cohesion and change.
At times during this lockdown period my ability to focus fluctuated, and when my attention was challenged because of real world events it was more productive to view shorter works.
Charlie Tyrell's Broken Orchestra was a favourite short documentary because of its neighbourhood-based political content but also because of the way it told its story. There were thousands of broken instruments lying forgotten in back rooms in the Philadelphia public school system with no money for replacements. To sustain music education, funding was obtained to rejuvenate the discarded. There was no money to buy the new. The program's innovators, educators, volunteers, advocates and musicians tell their story on video monitors placed in the hallways and rooms of an emptied school building, with instruments strewn throughout. The camera glides seamlessly through the building past these artefacts and videos in a sustained movement reminiscent of Alexander Sokurov's Russian Ark (2002) which glided through St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum. Broken Orchestra is much more frugal project, of course, expressing hope at the working-class local level.
Geeta Gandbhir's Call Center Blues, documenting a community of U.S. deportees in Tijuana, Mexico struggling to make ends meet, had some powerful moments. It witnesses men and women dealing with both grace and pain through their unjust situation. With interviews and by following his subjects through their daily lives, Gandbhir documents a special patience that allows them to take one day at a time, but may never change. One deportee, working in a call centre for piecemeal wages, was on the phone to a stranded motorist touring America in a hire car with a flat tyre. He was assuring his client in perfect American English, not to worry, that help was on its way. The deportee's isolation predicts the kind of isolation that Covid-19 will bring to all of us, and his conversation with his stranded client on the other side of the U.S border, a mobility we are all now losing.
The short animation Coup d'état Math by Sai Selvarajan delivered the trauma of four immigrant stories, all resonating with the emergency situation that Covid-19 brings to all our doorsteps. How do you deal with such trauma? Like a compacted version of Johnathan Hodgson's animation Camouflage (2001), about schizophrenia, these four immigrant stories display how unexpected duress shapes our lives. The four rudimentary hand drawn animation styles, different for each story, amplified the emotional vulnerabilities being expressed. Coup d'état Math received a Special Jury Recognition at SXSW.
Coup d'état Math (Sai Selvarajan)
The documentary shorts winner was Carol Nguyen's polished No Crying at the Dinner Table. Solitary audio-recorded interviews with the filmmaker's mother, father and sister are played back to the group at the dinner table. Each has been asked to reveal undisclosed secrets. What surfaces is the Vietnamese taboo of kissing parents, sitting at a parent's deathbed, guilt about the failure to stop a suicide attempt and the absence of working parents. The film is seamlessly shot with interviews interspersed with stilled shots of the family members in contemplative mundane moments; in bed, having a bath, washing vegetables, enabling the film to be pared down to 15 minutes. The cinematic framing of such moments was inspired by the Buddhist cinema of Hirokazu Kore-eda's After Life (1998).1 A considered Vietnamese formalism has migrated out of the body into the film's structure and one cannot help wondering what other layers of grief lay hidden under its surface, suggested by the choices of pain offered up and the partially rehearsed body language of its participants.
Amongst unique quests such as a blind man running alone through Death Valley and astronomers piercing the depths of space and time, in Echoes of the Invisible, photographer Rachel Sussman quests the documentation of the oldest living organisms on the planet to consider a deeper understanding and embrace of a wider timescale. There are lichens that grow 1 cm in 100 years, slower than continental drift. The clonal Creosote Bush, for example, in the Mojave Desert is 12,000 years old. Sussman's photographs stress these remarkable resiliencies.
No Crying at the Dinner Table (Carol Nguyen)
This focus connects to another documentary streamed, We Are As Gods, a feature documentary about counterculture icon and environmentalist Stewart Brand, completed on the day the festival was cancelled. Its creators David Alvarado and Jason Sussberg were concerned that this absence would impact distribution and sales of independent productions like theirs. I wonder if the cloistered worlds that Covid-19 imposed is now producing expanded opportunities for sales for online streaming. "We are as Gods" are the opening words to the opening line of the Whole Earth Catalog, edited by Brand, first published in 1968 in Menlo Park, as database for an emergent counterculture: "We are as gods and might as well get good at it." Brand embarks on this life journey with mixed success. Watching at home, I could put the film on pause and walk out to the back room to see if I still had my copy of this publication. Its unwieldy large size made it easy to find, under a pile of old Atlases. The Whole Earth Catalog was a compendium of counterculture creative ideas for DIY living, at a time when the mobility of sound in the transistor radio rehearsed the global mobility digital media produced for digital culture. Its layout and database also predicted our contemporary social online databases that now enable an online trace of the cancelled SXSW.
We Are As Gods documents Brand producing posters for music events that became known as "happenings", naming the musicians to be showcased, who would then just show up because they had seen the poster. Such was his social impact. The economic success of the Catalog gave Brand an independence that transformed him into a tech visionary. One project is the Jurassic Park-like return of the Mammoth, based on DNA recovered from mammoth flesh preserved in melting glaciers.
The Clock of the Long Now is another Brand project (he is co-chair of the Long Now Foundation that is in the process of building it, though the actual concept was conceived by fellow co-chair, Daniel Hillis). Like Sussman's photography, this project expands our understanding of what "now" means to a 10,000 plus and minus year window. Such a way of thinking about time emerges when one immerses oneself in the wilderness and the landscape. This reminded me of my animator friend's Hugh Foulds' comment, that when he canoed through desert landscapes in lower British Columbia, he could sense the sand dunes in motion, moving.
The Clock of the Long Now is designed to survive and perform for 10,000 years. Costing $42 million it is being installed in a mountainside in West Texas on land owned by Jeff Bezos. Brand does seem to be playing god. Is it "ethical" to colonise the future with such technological reach? Does such a clock do for the future what religious texts like the Bible do in defining our past? How does our current pandemic struggle re-contextualise such thinking? These thoughts seep in while watching.
Laurel Canyon (Alison Ellwood)
One of the strong points of SXSW's film programming has always been its music documentaries and another film that shared the previous film's preoccupation with counter-culture moments was Alison Ellwood's Laurel Canyon: A Place in Time. Laurel Canyon was where a critical mass of LA's rock musicians lived in the '60s and '70s, a ten minute drive from the legendary Troubadour, where they mingled, performed and cut their teeth as performers. Like many music documentaries it is through the memories elicited from a viewer's "life lived" that these re-collections produce relevance. Although the fantasy and entertainment dimensions of the music industry are not lost on me, at this point of transition into the pandemic's clutches, I found such documentarist nostalgia more grounding than an escape into the fantasy of fiction. The history was laid out through interview recollections of the shared households, drug use, friendships and relationships lost and found: The Byrds, Frank Zappa, Buffalo Springfield, Crosby Stills, Nash and Young, Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork from the Monkees, Joni Mitchell, Love, James Brown, The Eagles, Linda Rondstadt, The Mamas and Papas and The Doors.
A counter to this nostalgia-fest was Matt Eskey's The Mojo Manifesto: The Life and Times of Mojo Nixon, which provided more hard-headed insights into the mechanics of the music industry. Mojo Nixon (a.k.a. Neill Kirby McMillan Jr.) achieved cult success through psychobilly parody of American culture in the '80s, many with musician Skid Roper, with such lampooning songs as "I Hate Banks", "Burn Down the Malls", "Don Henley Must Die" and "Stuffin' Martha's Muffin". MTV's unwillingness to air the video for "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child" marked his withdrawal from mainstream visibility and success. The weight of archive material drives this film, counterpointing the requisite commentary by fellow musicians and the interview with an older retired McMillan. The uneven VHS material gave the documentary a suitable in-your-face punk aesthetic. Its non-linear storytelling, jumping from one period to another reflected the impulsive personality of its subject.
The Mojo Manifesto (Matt Eskey)
Matt Riddlehoover's insightful and balanced My Darling Vivian peeled away layers of Johnny Cash's first marriage to Vivian Liberto through love letters, home movies, photographs and interviews with their four daughters. It documented the slow train wreck of this first marriage with Cash's growing success, absences from the family home and the eventual solace of drug use. A respect for their mother of Italian descent and a sense of setting the record straight came through these re-counting interviews. Racism again, reared its ugly head. A rumour that Cash's first wife was a black woman had plagued his early career and was based on an early newspaper photograph of the couple standing on the steps of a government building with Cash. In the photograph Vivian's olive skin was underexposed and in shadow.
The pick from the screening library was Finding Yingying by Jiayan "Jenny" Shi, which won the Special Jury Recognition for Breakthrough Voice. Yingying Zhang was a Chinese graduate student from Nanping studying at the University of Illinois. She was kidnapped and murdered by an ex-PhD student Brendt Christensen in 2017. Chistensen's pick-up of Yingying from a campus bus stop registered on campus surveillance cameras. He took her back to his flat where he choked, raped, stabbed and decapitated her, placing her remains in a dumpster. Christensen was eventually sentenced to life for his crime. These disturbing events are evidenced over a two-year period, in which Shi follows Yingying's parents and her boyfriend around the University campus looking for their missing daughter and later following the court case. This slow reveal allows Shi to embed herself inside the family with empathy and document the family's changing hopes and emotions in an alien environment. The dialogue between the resolution of the crime and the emotional temperature of the family provides this documentary's unique power, as it reveals unresolved cracks in the parent's marriage, the sacrifices made for Yingying's education and the consequent loss of status for the family in their home village in Nanying.
Finding Yingying (Jiayan "Jenny" Shi)
It is hoped that next year's festival will be a physical one with a celebration of world premieres, networking opportunities and a gamut of sessions and panels that look to future developments in cinema and, no doubt, a productive appraisal of the festival's response to this year's events. Certainly the films that were available benefited form an introduction of sorts to the market and possible sales. I hope to attend next year to explore the impact of new immersive technologies on the cinema experience. This year's experience can act as a hardcore case study for its pro and cons.

MTLSD Music Education Program Receives National Recognition
Posted 05/03/2019 04:04PM
The Mt. Lebanon School District has been honored for the 11th consecutive year with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from The NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education.
Now in its 20th year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students. To qualify for the Best Communities designation, the District answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instructional time, facilities, and support for the music programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.
"We are extremely fortunate to have such a strong music education program in the Mt. Lebanon School District," said Superintendent Timothy Steinhauer. "It is no secret that our success is the result of an exceptionally dedicated music faculty, talented students, and a community that has supported the arts as in integral part of a Mt. Lebanon education for over a hundred years."
This award recognizes that the Mt. Lebanon School District is leading the way with learning opportunities as outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
According to NAMM, research into music education continues to demonstrate educational/cognitive and social skill benefits for children who make music. After two years of music education, research found that participants showed more substantial improvements in how the brain processes speech and reading scores that their less-involved peers and that students who are involved in music are not only more likely to graduate high school, but also to attend college as well. Everyday listening skills are stronger in musically-trained children that in those without music training. Significantly, listening skills are closely tied to the ability to: perceive speech in a noisy background, pay attention, and keep sounds in memory. Later in life, individuals who took music lessons as children show stronger neural processing of sound; young adults and even older adults who have not played an instrument for up to 50 years show enhanced neural processing compared to their peers. Not to mention, social benefits include conflict resolution, teamwork skills, and how to give and receive constructive criticism.

David Wagner Leaves Huddersfield by Mutual Consent as Terriers Battle Relegation
Huddersfield manager David Wagner has left the club by mutual consent after three years in charge, a difficult start to the season leaving them languishing at the bottom of the table.
Two wins from their opening 22 games means they are seven points clear of safety heading into the run-in, and the club announced on Monday that the German has left his post.
📝 David Wagner has departed his role as Head Coach of #htafc by mutual consent.
The 47-year-old leaves Town after detailed discussions with the Board of Directors, with both parties agreeing this is the correct move for the future of the Club.

— Huddersfield Town (@htafcdotcom) January 14, 2019
"I'd like to begin by thanking David for all he has achieved at Huddersfield Town over the last three-and-a-half years," chairman Dean Hoyle said in an official statement.
"Under his stewardship, we've achieved things on the football pitch that surpass anything in modern memory, and that have gone well beyond my wildest expectations as Chairman and as a fan.
"Under David's management, we took this Club to the highest position it has held in almost 50 years and created memories that will last forever.
"I know the term 'mutual consent' is often a byword for the manager being sacked in professional football, but this is a truly joint decision. David has a real, genuine love for this Club and, like me, his foremost concern in our talks has been to establish what is best for Huddersfield Town.

"I cannot thank David enough for what he has achieved. Along with his family, he will always be a friend to me and Huddersfield Town."
Mark Hudson will take charge for their clash with Manchester City at the weekend.

Get off the beaten track to explore the hidden gems of Laos and Vietnam on this intrepid multi-country adventure, which takes in the beautiful, historic cities of Hanoi and Luang Prabang, the rainforest-clad hills and rice paddies of the northern Laos countryside and a luxury cruise on the spectacular waterways of Bai Tu Long Bay, lesser known than Halong Bay but equally worth seeing. Visit remote villages and hill tribes, go trekking and biking around rivers and valleys, and experience the local way of life. Get under the skin of two countries on one spectacular holiday.
In the knowIn Mai Chau, don't miss the chance to watch a traditional dance performance - and you can also try out the steps yourself!
Your holiday begins in Laos, and beautiful UNESCO World Heritage-listed Luang Prabang on the banks of the Mekong, which is home to ancient temples and historic villas, against a lush green backdrop of mountains, valleys and waterfalls. Explore the temples and landmarks on a half-day city tour, and watch the monks receive their alms in the streets at dawn, before the city springs to life. Stay at Satri House, a former royal home surrounded by serene gardens yet still close to the sights of Luang Prabang – take one of the hotel's bikes to explore the city or cycle along the river, or enjoy a trip in a traditional longtail boat.
Get off the beaten track into the mountainous countryside of northern Laos with a visit to Muang La, which sits on the Nam Pak River at the junction of Burma, China, Thailand and Vietnam. Visit the village to learn about silk weaving, extracting salt from the river, harvesting rice from the fields and building houses out of bamboo, and meet the ethnic tribes of northern Laos to find out about their way of life and their animist beliefs. Enjoy a scenic trek through the valley, through rice fields, villages and over bamboo bridges, to the serene temple of Wat Hoytinphabath, which is home to a giant 35m-long reclining statue of Buddha. Stay at Muang La Lodge, which sits in a secluded valley on the riverfront, where you can feast on Lao/Thai specialities created from fresh homegrown ingredients and bathe in natural hot springs.
Nong Khiaw is an Instagram-worthy spot by the Nam Ou River, surrounded by dramatic limestone crags, rainforest valleys and gushing waterfalls. Walk through the rice paddies to Patok Cave, with its impressive cathedral dome opening out to the mountains, and trek up mountain slopes for 360-degree views over the village of Nong Khiaw below, the mountains and the Nam Ou valley, towards the pretty riverside village of Muang Ngoi Neua (which is also well worth a visit). The Mandala Ou resort sits high on the banks of the river, with beautiful sunset views over the rainforest and limestone peaks – take a dip in the infinity pool while enjoying the scenery.
Spend another night at Satri House in Luang Prabang, with a chance to go back to the places you loved on your first visit, before embarking on the next leg of your adventure. You'll also enjoy a special Lao evening of traditional storytelling tonight, accompanied by live music performed on the khene, a Lao folk instrument. This is followed by a feast of delicious local cuisine, such as a buffet of local specialities, in one of the best restaurants in the country.
Another day, another country – today you'll head to Vietnam and its capital, Hanoi, where you'll enjoy a morning tour by cyclo and a half-day tour of the city's highlights, from the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh to the vibrant life-filled streets of the historic Old Quarter, brimming with quirky shopfronts and colourful markets where you'll find some unique souvenirs of your trip. Hanoi also has a thriving arts scene, with an iconic opera house that puts on performances of classics such as The Nutcracker. Stay in the heart of the Old Quarter at the Hotel de l'Opera, where you'll be near the opera house as well as several temples, galleries and restaurants. It's also not far from the pagoda-fringed Hoan Kiem Lake, where you can watch the locals practise tai chi as dawn breaks.
Mai Chau is nestled in a verdant valley, surrounded by hills and rice fields that beg to be explored on a hike or bike ride, while this is also an idyllic spot for some relaxation. The landscape is dotted with villages whose inhabitants farm the land and weave colourful textiles. Mai Chau Ecolodge is a charming retreat, with characterful and spacious accommodation modelled on the local thatched-roof stilt houses, where as well as exploring the surroundings, you can further immerse yourself in local life by helping out on the farm, or enjoying a cookery class, making local dishes using freshly picked herbs (and you should try the local rice wine too).
On the fringes of Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay offers a more off-the-beaten-track cruise, without stinting on the area's signature pristine landscapes of vast waters studded with limestone karsts, islands with beautiful, unspoilt beaches and floating villages. Venture into caves, kayak around the limestone peaks, see bustling fishing villages and relax on secluded stretches of sand. Explore it all in style onboard the luxurious Au Co, where you can take in the ever-changing views from the deck.

Being sustainable goes far beyond turning off lights, saving water and carpooling to work. One way to be more sustainable in your living habits is to reuse, recycle and donate items that no longer serve a purpose. Over 85% of clothing ends up in landfills each year! The majority of this waste could be prevented by reusing or recycling.
The fashion industry is sometimes considered the second dirtiest industry following big oil. Much of this has to do with the impact of growing and dying cotton, but it also is due to the fact that the majority of clothing is thrown away when in reality 95% can be recycled. As with most sustainability initiatives, the easiest way to increase the amount of clothing recycled is to increase awareness and education. There are non-profits and stores in every state that take in unwanted clothing items and give them out to members of the community in need or even resell them to the general public.
As the seasons are changing, now is a perfect time to go through your closet and clean out what you no longer use or wear. Whenever you see that dress or shirt you haven't worn in over a year, instead of keeping it hidden in the back of your closet or throwing it out begin a pile and find a place near you where you can donate!
This can also be a fun way to get involved with Sustainable September. Make a pledge with your community and see how many items of clothing you all can donate together. It is amazing to see the impact a group of people can have when they come together to support a cause!

Dr. Crocker ending 43-year dental practice Feb. 20
TIGNISH --When he first started practicing dentistry in West Prince, Dr. David Crocker needed to spend a considerable amount of time convincing patients to keep their teeth rather than getting them pulled.
Eric McCarthy · Multimedia Journalist | Posted: Feb. 13, 2014, midnight | Updated: Sept. 29, 2017, 9:47 p.m. | 2 Min Read
Dr. David Crocker conducts a dental exam in his Tignish clinic. He concludes a 43-year dental practice in West Prince on Feb. 20.
"It was kind of a way of life: you kept your teeth until you were late teens or 20s and then you got your teeth out and got a plate made," he reflected.
Commenting on how times have changed, he said, "we see a huge number of people now going into their 20s with not even a cavity; all their own teeth and not a cavity."
He gives credit for that change to the government dental health program and education about the importance of practicing proper dental care.
Crocker, a Miramichi, NB native, is set to retire on Thursday, February 20. A combined retirement party for Crocker and a meet and greet for his replacement, will be held Wednesday, February 19, 5 p.m., at the Tignish Co-op Health Centre.
Dr. German Gomez, currently practicing at the West Prince Dental Clinic in Woodstock, takes over Crocker's practice effective February 21.
Dr. Crocker and Dr. Gary Jackson, both fresh out of Dalhousie Dental School, moved into a clinic the provincial government provided for them in Alberton in 1971. "This area needed dentists and we both came here," Crocker said. Three years later, in September, 1974, Crocker re-located to the Tignish Health Co-op Centre and Jackson moved his practice to O'Leary.
He would have been content to mark 40 years in Tignish in September but said timing was right as Gomez was looking to open his own practice.
Initially, Crocker had only planned to practice in West Prince a year or two and then go back to school to specialize, but he settled in for the long-haul.
"Both Donna and I decided it was a terrific place to raise our kids, a great community to live in. It was pointless to go back to school," he said. Donna, his wife of 45 years, has been part of the practice from the start.
The practice has changed some over the years. At one point about 60 per cent of his patients were children. "The tendency now is smaller families, and a lot of the younger families are moving away, so the practice is aging a little bit," he acknowledged and declared it "a terrific rural practice."
After retiring, Crocker said he will spend more time on his farm, tending to his blueberries. He also hopes to do some travelling and is considering doing some locum dentistry up north.


Rarely will you listen, any superstitious believe for red,brown or white dogs. But people have lots of beliefs and ancient superstitious trusts about black dogs and that also impacts them to get adopted. Some people relate them with vampires, Though there are many people who also believe them god's favorite and in some countries like in India and Nepal they are sacred like humans.
Superstitions about dogs doesn't have any logical or scientific reasons, all are based on ancient beliefs and old stories. And many people and biologists, veterans do not believe them. Actually dog's color doesn't affect their personality, behavior or health. Choosing a dog color is just like choosing a car color. To buy a car, you need to decide the make and model of the car, corresponding to your need and budget and then you can select the color. In the same way, to get a puppy you need a proper analysis about the dog's breed and appropriateness with your need, interest and expertise. Once you make your decision then you can go for any color.
These are the most commonly believed superstitions about black dogs that is commonly believed in most of the countries and cultures.
1. It,s a good luck if a black dog follow you at home.
In Some part of Europe and In Scotland, people believe if a black strange dog is following you at your home is good luck for you. But if a dog follow you on a rainy day that is a bad luck for you.
2. A Black dog follows you on the road is a bad luck.
When a black dog follows you at home - that's a good luck.
But if a black dog follows you at home in rainy day - that's a bad luck.
If a black dog crosses you on the way- that's a bad luck.
but what if a black dog follows you when you are leaving from home? If a black dog follows you on the road means a bad luck for you.
3. Meeting a black and white spotted dog on the way to business meet is a good luck.
In Europe many people believe if you are on the way to a business meeting and you saw a black and white spotted dog on the way that means you are lucky and you will make a successful business deal.
4. A black dog crosses you on the way is your bad luck.
It's a common superstition about black dogs in many countries, if a lack dog will cross you on the way means you will have a bad day and a bad luck for the day.
5. Black dog appears in your car is a warning for danger of an accident.
This may be not a commonly believed superstition, but some people believe, if a black dog appears in your car means you have a danger of an accident.
6. The black pet dog keeps evil shadows away from home.
In many countries and cultures, It's a very common believe that dog can see ghosts, evil spirit and negative soul. In India also people trust, if you have a black pet dog that will protect you and your family from negative things and bad souls.
7. A Black dog appears at your house door means you will meet with an old friend.
Many people have a superstition, if a black dog appear to your house door means you will meet with your old friend and if the dog comes inside to your house, means an old friend is coming to your house.
8. You will have a good luck if you will feed a black dog at night.
In India also people believe dogs can see evil spirits and negative things. Also, they can sense about upcoming death and disasters. And black dogs are the most effective because the Indian death god vehicle itself driven by black dogs. So many people have another trust, if they will feed a black dog at night, then that happy dog will guard them and their house with evil spirits. And death god's black dog will be sympathetic for them and death god's dog will request his master to pick them at least.
9. A dog walking between a courting couple, Indicate the danger to their wedding.
In Europe many people believe that if a running dog will cross between a dating couple means a bad luck for them and they may have a quarrel and it also can be a danger to their marriage.
10. Black dogs can see the ghost and evil spirits and they bark at nights around your bed to protect you.
In Asian countries and some part of Europe and in America (The Native Americans) people believe dogs have a supernatural instinct and higher sense, they can see the ghost and upcoming death and can predict the presence of evil soul. When they see them around their house or near to, their master or family then they bark. And at nights when evil souls and ghosts or more active, then dog protect their house and family members and at many occasions when we can't see anything around and we think the dog is barking without reason, actually they bark because they can see them.
Do you believe in superstition about dogs?

Group of Eight, formerly and subsequently Group of 7 (G7), intergovernmental organization that originated in 1975 through informal summit meetings of the leaders of the world's leading industrialized countries (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, West Germany, Italy, Canada, and Japan). Canada did not attend the initial meeting in 1975, and the president of the European Commission joined the discussions in 1977. Beginning in 1994, Russia joined the discussions, and the group became known as the Group of 8 (G8) or the "Political Eight"; Russia officially became the eighth member in 1997. In March 2014 Russia precipitated an international crisis when it occupied and annexed Crimea, an autonomous republic of Ukraine. The original Group of 7 (G7) responded by indefinitely suspending Russia's membership in the group, effectively dissolving the larger G8.
With no formal charter, a limited bureaucratic structure, and no permanent secretariat, leaders of the G7 discuss major economic issues in an informal setting. The agenda has changed depending on international circumstances—e.g., the oil crises in the 1970s, global environmental issues in the 1980s, economic transition in the formerly communist countries and debt and financial instability in the 1990s, and the special problems facing Africa in the early 21st century. Historically, when noneconomic issues such as terrorism, drug trafficking, human rights, regional security, and arms control dominated the discussions, the G8 was convened.
Prior to the annual summits, the leaders' personal representatives (known as "sherpas"—ambassadors, secretaries in foreign offices, or other diplomatic advisers) provide the groundwork for discussions, and follow-up ministerial meetings give specificity to the decisions taken and offer substantive guidance on pertinent issues to the United Nations General Assembly sessions and to International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings. The meetings, the sites of which are rotated among member states, permit valuable personal relationships to develop. Leaders are better able to establish priorities, give guidance to international organizations, and reach collective decisions. Since the late 1990s the annual meetings have attracted intense international media attention and antiglobalization demonstrations.


Not sure if this is the best forum (or category for that matter) for this question, but I do know there's lots of you that mess with this kind of thing a lot, so I wanted to ask for some advice.
The short version is that I want to make a 4-voice polyphonic and multichannel synth to using a Teensy 3.2 + 2 audio boards that responds to USB-MIDI.
The long(er) version is that this will be part of a revamping of a dynamic score system I worked on a few years back (dfscore) that I want to rebuild using haptic feedback instead of (primarily) screen-based interfacing.
I spent ages looking for a good wireless haptic feedback system that could multicast and kept coming up short. While I was in Berlin over the summer I managed to try out a Basslet and really dug it. Quite powerful and really fast response time (ala 'taptic engine' type response speed) since it's not an eccentric motor that's spinning up and down. 'Only' goes up to 250 Hz, but that's plenty of room to create distinct gestures with.
So my plan is to use the Teensy as a hub/node for the system where each Basslet transmitter (each has its own little dongle) would be fed audio from one "voice" of the synth on the Teensy, while responding to MIDI notes on diff channels (or whatever). I'll house all of that, with a tiny hub inside a small (likely 3D-printed) enclosure, so I can run the whole system off a single USB cable.
Hardware-wise I've got it built and working, following the great instructions here and help from a friend.
Where I'm at with it is trying to figure out the best way to speak "MIDI" to the system.
Initially I was thinking of using a vanilla square wave oscillator going into an on/off "gate" envelope, and controlling the system with normal MIDI note on/off messages. This would definitely work, be simple to set up, and easily controllable from any system (computer, controller, etc...).
I then thought it would be handy to have discrete control over the volume to be able to create more complex amplitude "gestures" where bits of of the haptic feedback faded in in intensity then had a strong single attack at the end. So I thought to maybe use "aftertouch" or a random CC to control the 'gain' of each voice.
That led me to thinking that the same may be useful for frequency, which led me to think about incorporating "pitch bend", or another random CC to control the frequency (or freq offset) of each voice.
So now I'm wondering if I'm better off just exposing "raw" control of frequency and amplitude via CC control, and manually creating the haptic gestures I want that way, rather than making a "normal" MIDI setup which I then extend with aftertouch/pitchbend.
So yeah, any thoughts would be welcome here.
One sneaky little bump here before this descends into the forum void.

Turning a full 12 months old this Lunar New Year, Fook Yeah marks the milestone with its first official CNY set menus, celebrating cherished classics with a splash of contemporary flair. Helming the kitchen at one of PJ's most distinctive destinations for Chinese fare, chef Eddy has crafted a selection that's as satisfyingly sumptuous as the setting, promising everything from Hokkaido scallops with XO shrimp to stewed hasma with sliced ginseng, served in spacious surroundings capped with an original Warhol silk-screen portrait of Mao Zedong on one end and a soaringly verdant view on the other.
Fook Yeah has four multi-course festive menus available, clocking in at RM588 nett for six persons, and RM888, RM1,288 or RM1,888 for 10 persons. Portions are substantial; five of us struggled to finish the six-person menu, launching with yee sang that's tasty and textured, spruced up with lusciously thick cuts of salmon, buoyed by fruits at their ripe prime - spanning naturally vivacious grapes to dragon fruit, apples to oranges to pomelo - balanced by the crunch of arrowhead chips and the earthiness of nuts. We've sampled nearly a dozen yee sang platters ahead of CNY 2019; this ranks among our favourites.
While servings prove hearty, the cooking is rewardingly soulful; the chicken soup is a labour of love that's as time-honoured and traditional as it sounds, slow-boiled with Oriental herbs for consummate comfort, gently mellow with a simple, soothing elegance, each spoonful sipped steaming-hot - the sort of spirit-nourishing recipe perfected and passed through generations.
It also takes passionate, painstaking craftsmanship to produce poultry pleasures like Fook Yeah's flagship roast duck - surfacing whole at the table, the sheen of the skin foretells a crackling-crisp experience, the outcome of being confidently air-dried and glazed, while the flesh is sweet and tender to the bone, cleanly marinated with hints of hoisin and five-spice to focus on the rich, pure savouriness of the fowl. With a bird this delightful, 2019 could easily be the Year of the Duck instead.
For customers who test their chef's capabilities based on fish, Fook Yeah's is masterful - the red snapper regally retains its firm smoothness and flaky moistness from head to tail, steamed not a minute too long to preserve its inherent virtues, rounded out with a light soy sauce that conveys the right measure of umami, dressed in crisply fresh coriander for herbaceous sprightliness. The kitchen takes pride in a variety of fish, with dragon grouper and tung sing grouper offered on the other sets.
The abalone and dried oysters with mushrooms are from the RM888 menu, as auspicious as they are alluring, marshalling some of the most prized ingredients for a reunion feast, bringing together a mad-for-mollusks bevy of oceanic brininess in golden-hued abalone and dried oysters (symbolic of healthy fortunes), silky black moss (for prosperity) and juicy shiitake mushrooms (for longevity), the ideal extravaganza for ushering in a new year with all its accompanying hopes and wishes.
Prawns, another quintessential CNY temptation, emerge in the butter-fried preparation that's can't-fail catnip for everyone who's young at heart, glorious in their crustacean plumpness, garlanded in a moreish heaping of fluffy egg floss for a calories-won't-count decadence that befits significant celebratory spreads.
Contrasting flavours and temperatures ring in a duet of desserts: There's no better conclusion to this memorable meal than the fried glutinous rice cakes, sticky but not sickly sweet, their light, thin batter blanketing creamy layers of purple sweet potato, coupled with a reinvigorating chilled tong sui of sea coconut with nectarous longan - long-time staples, expertly executed.
All in all, Fook Yeah could be an interesting choice for customers seeking a relatively under-the-radar restaurant for their office get-togethers, family reunions and friendly soirées this season. Advance bookings by at least a day are recommended for the CNY set menus (it takes that time to prepare the duck, for one).

I am Larissa Sousa, and I am a manager of the education program, Girls Clubs.
What is a Girls Club? ... The Girls Club is a project that was based on ideas of keeping girls in school. Normally a girl does not have a voice in the community. So we wanted to prevent premature marriages and, at the same time, keep girls in school.
Why do we choose or admit this group of girls to join the club? We have an admission process, we involve the community. We want to work with the most vulnerable child in the community to give opportunity to these children. So what we want is to try to have this generation of women who have the opportunity to continue education, who can grow and be what they want to be. Who have better opportunities than the previous generation had.
Talking about girls' progress is a very interesting thing. We've known the girls for some time now, so now we can see that they are already more confident. They want to know more about the world, who else has there? She sees opportunities in life for her to be a doctor, to be a nurse, or anything they want to be and ... to progress, to be ... President, for example! This encourages us to work much harder because we want to see, we want these women to be what they want in the future.
We try to bring examples of girls who have left the community, or who have left small sites such as Gorongosa village, such as some communities that are currently working in the Park, or are doing internships in the Park to show them that it is possible. It's important to have examples like Deolinda, like Dominique, who also went through the same difficulties and today they are where they are .
What we are doing is for these girls to try to create safe spaces, open doors to the opportunities that they can have, and also create that sense of thinking about the future that what you do today will have an action , a reaction in the future, that everything we do has a consequence.

Storrs vs. Avery Point for Marine Sciences Students
When applying to UConn, for any major, there is only one application for UConn regardless of the campus you want to attend (www.admissions.uconn.edu) where you can indicate your campus of choice. The New England Regional Student Program permits qualified residents of the New England states (outside Connecticut) to pursue the Marine Sciences degree at a reduced out-of-state tuition. For more information about this program is available at www.nebhe.org.
The benefit of the Marine Sciences major is that you do have a choice. You can complete your entire course of study at the Avery Point campus of UConn, or you may select the Storrs campus and attend for up to two years. By the end of your sophomore year, much of the curriculum is taught primarily or exclusively at the Avery Point campus, though some lectures are available at both Storrs and Avery Point through fully interactive voice and video.
Most students choose the 4-year Avery Point route. If you choose to attend Avery Point for all four years, you can benefit from the small campus setting immediately. You will get to know upperclassmen in the Marine Sciences major, interact with the Marine Sciences faculty and be exposed to opportunities to learn beyond the classroom. Most classes at Avery Point have less than 40 students with the average class size being 22 to 25 students, so the Marine Sciences faculty really get to know the students.
The Avery Point campus also tends to draw students who thrive in a quieter, small campus by the sea. The Avery Point campus does not have residence halls but there is a long-standing relationship between the campus and two off-campus apartment complexes (apartments, houses). Students can take courses at Storrs even if they are enrolled at Avery Point, but will need to provide their own transportation to Storrs.
The Storrs campus tends to appeal to students who want the big bustling large university experience. Some students really desire to attend a large campus and experience living in dorms. The Storrs campus is approximately 42 miles from Avery Point (~ 1hr 10min commute) and while it is possible to remain at Storrs throughout, most students choose to make Avery Point their primary campus for Junior and Senior years. While at Storrs you will be advised by a Marine Sciences faculty member.
Both the 4-year Avery Point, and the 2-year Storrs: 2-year Avery Point routes are equally feasible. It's truly a personal choice and it is encouraged that you visit both campuses and see with campus is the "best fit" for you.

Introducing FamilyShield Parental Controls
By David Ulevitch, Founder/CEO
Kids get into all sorts of things they shouldn't get into online. And we know parents want to protect their kids from what's out there. They want to know that what they've set up is effective, up-to-date and always working.
Today we're introducing a new service called FamilyShield and it's the absolute simplest and most straightforward way for parents to protect kids from the bad stuff online. There is no complicated set up and no software to install on your computers.
FamilyShield is different from — and better than — the majority of parental controls software choices parents are faced with. For starters, ours is free to use. And when set up on your wireless router, FamilyShield does more than block adult content on computers; it blocks it on Wi-Fi devices like the iPod Touch or the Nintendo DS and on video game consoles like Xbox and Wii. In addition to blocking adult content, FamilyShield also blocks proxies and anonymizers, which are how enterprising/tech-savvy kids often get around parental blocks.
In addition, because FamilyShield leverages the OpenDNS content filtering system, the list of sites being blocked is constantly updated, 24/7. These updates happen automatically, without requiring any changes on the user's end.
Last but not least, because it runs on the global OpenDNS network, it will make your household Internet faster and overall more reliable. With the OpenDNS perfect 100 percent uptime record, you won't have to tolerate annoying, intermittent Internet outages anymore. This, of course, is in stark contrast to parental controls software that is often known for slowing down your Internet experience.
Why did we launch FamilyShield? For about as long as OpenDNS has been around, we've heard demand from you, our users, to provide a pre-configured version of the service that automatically blocks adult content. The idea has been submitted to IdeaBank, the part of our community where anyone can suggest new OpenDNS features and functionality, a few different times. We aim to give you what you want and FamilyShield is just that.
How does FamilyShield work? Much like how OpenDNS Basic works, you just follow our simple two-step instructions to configure our special FamilyShield IPs on your router. Unlike OpenDNS Basic, there's no account to configure, no complicated settings to customize, and no downloads or software to install. Even if you have a dynamic IP address.
FamilyShield's nameservers are:
What does FamilyShield Block? The service blocks pornographic content, including our "Pornography," "Tasteless," and "Sexuality" categories, in addition to proxies and anonymizers (which can render filtering useless). It also blocks phishing and some malware.
If you're using OpenDNS Basic today without any filtering and think FamilyShield looks just simple and straightforward enough for you, just follow the simple instructions to point to the new IPs. But, if you use OpenDNS, love OpenDNS and know of a family who could use a parental controls service that also makes their home network faster, let them know about FamilyShield.

Fed govt to challenge LHC decision allowing Shahbaz's abroad travel tomorrow
ISLAMABAD: Federal government has prepared a draft of a petition to be filed before the Supreme Court to challenge the Lahore High Court (LHC) decision allowing PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif to travel abroad, According to details, the petition will be filed before the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Monday (tomorrow) under article 185 (3) of the Constitution of Pakistan. As per the content of the petition obtained by, it will seek answers as to how the honorable judge of the LHC could allow abroad travel without issuing notices to concerned departments. It will further raise questions on how a single-bench judge could decide on a matter relating to controversial issues. It read that if a person is facing cases pertaining to corruption of billions of rupees, how could he be allowed to leave the country without taking prior approval from a trial court hearing such cases. The bail plea of the accused namely Shahbaz Sharif was rejected previously by honourable judges of the high court, the petition reminded while further raising a query as to how such application for abroad travel could be approved without authentication from a medical board. The petition would ask the apex court to suspend the LHC order of May 07 keeping in view the above-mentioned queries and allow the government to appeal against the decision. The Lahore High Court (LHC) on May 07 gave one-time permission to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shahbaz Sharif to go abroad for medical treatment. However, the federal government barred him from travelling abroad and announced to challenge the court's decision.

'The Lord of the Rings' TV Series to Premiere in Theaters
Matt Singer Published: August 22, 2022
While The Lord of the Rings is about to transition from the big screen to the world of streaming television, hardcore fans who want to get the theatrical experience of this new chapter in the saga of Middle-earth will have a chance to do it — with a fairly significant catch.
The first two episodes of Prime Video's new The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series will premiere on August 31 in theaters, two days before everyone else will be able to watch the show on streaming. But! It will only be playing in Cinemark theaters. If you don't live near a Cinemark, you are out of luck.
To attend, you need to go to the chain's website and reserve a ticket. In order to claim one you must be a member of Cinemark Movie Rewards. (There is a free option for that.) Each ticket includes a $10 snack voucher. If you want to attend, you better move quickly. Seats are up for grabs now, and at the theaters I looked at in the New York metro area, most were already completely sold out.
Rather than readapt J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings novels to television, the new show, developed by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, is set in Middle-earth's Second Age, which took place centuries before the events chronicled in the original books or Peter Jackson's movies. Still, the show includes some familiar characters from the movies, including the elves Elrond and Galadriel, now played by Robert Aramayo and Morfydd Clark, respectively.
The first two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will premiere on Amazon's Prime Video on September 2. The rest of the first season's episodes will premiere weekly on Fridays.
Usually, when a franchise gets bad, that's the beginning of the end. But some film series are too successful to ever truly die.

All sorts of stuff is happening behind the scenes that I cannot really talk about at the moment, most of it not terribly nice. But there are some nice things on the horizon. For example, there is a new Kula Shaker album, and the tracks I have heard so far appear truly excellent. I will report further when I manage to get hold of a copy. Richard Muirhead has done a sterling job scouring the archives of the South China Morning Post for information about wild dogs in Hong Kong, and has unearthed some truly fascinating stuff. I haven't enjoyed writing a paper so much in years.
I am attempting to walk 14 miles with some others on the 5th March to raise money for Sports Relief. Here is a link to the giving page. If you can spare some loose change for us, I'd be most grateful. We're walking in the lovely Pentland Hills from a place called Flotterstone. Can't wait!

Conlusions: What this Pro-Ject does so well is what so many of the company's Box Design devices achieve: it provides a simple, logical solution to a problem, performs impeccably, and does so in a form so small it could even be hidden away if preferred. But that would be a shame: for a box that does so much, as the Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra is terribly cute, and is also excellent value for money, so much so that a Best Buy rating is mandatory.
Pro-Ject's Stream Box S2 Ultra is a nifty little product with lots of applications. Pair it with a compact USB DAC like Pro-Ject's Pre Box S2 and you have a very nice, small-footprint digital source for streamed and locally stored music.
Headfonia says: Stream Box S2 Ultra is the product of the year!
This box has brought me so much pleasure. Hook it up to your local network by cable or wifi, connect it to the DAC of your choice and enjoy your music from anywhere in the house. DLNA, Media streamers and TIDAL are all included. And then there's the ROON integration. It's perfect!
The numerous playback options have been a real and pleasant surprise or us. The Stream Box S2 Ultra hides a little network streamer with very advanced mpossibilities that can be controlled from a smartphone, a tablet or a computer.
Adding an extra dash of sophisticationn and poise to proceedings over it's competitors, Pro-Ject has crafted a superior package that's sure to play a large part in the continued elevation of vinyl's popularity.

Texas Soccer Notes-Saturday, March 18 2017
Date: March 18, 2017Author: txsoccerjournal 0 Comments
Texas Soccer news of interest this week.
Major League Soccer:
The Dynamo have freed up a Designated Player (DP) slot by using Targeted Acquisition Money (TAM) to buy down the contract of young Columbian striker Mauro Manotas. At the same time, they acquired his full-acquisition rights (important if he is ever transferred to a club outside of the U.S. and Canada.) from his former Columbian club. MLS allows their teams to sign 3 high-impact DP's at any salary the individual club is willing to pay, with only $480,625 of the amount counting against the salary cap. The Dynamo currently have two designated players on their roster…forwards Alberth Elis (Young DP) and Erick Torres. Houston coach Wilmer Cabrera has commented in the past how important it is for an MLS team to have a play-making "Number 10" attacking midfielder. The club was unable to find such a player in the offset, or one that came at an affordable price in any event. Opening up this DP slot provides flexibility to consider such a signing later this year. To that point, Dynamo GM Matt Jordan, in an interview with Sam Stejskal on mls.com this week, said that the club is considering signing a third DP during the summer transfer window. (Houston Dynamo Communications/Sam Stejskal…mlssoccer.com)
Dynamo forward Erick "Cubo" Torres and FC Dallas defender Matt Hedges were named to the Week 2 MLS Team of the Week. Torres superb goal on Saturday night was also nominated as a Goal of the Week candidate. The Dynamo's Alex Lima and Alberth Elis were named to the "bench" as further reward for the comprehensive 3-1 victory over Columbus last Saturday night. On a negative note for Alex, The MLS Disciplinary Committee fined him an undisclosed amount after finding him guilty of simulation/embellishment during the 37th minute of the Columbus match. (mlssoccer.com)
CONCACAF Champions League (CCL):
Chris Seitz of FCD was named CCL Goalkeeper of the Week and also claimed the Best Save of the Week. Not surprisingly, Kellyn Acosta's spectacular free kick on Wednesday night was named Goal of the Week. Seitz's excellent save is in the video below provided by concacaf.com
United States National Teams:
Two FC Dallas and one Dynamo player were called into the United States Men's National Team roster ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Honduras and Panama. Walker Zimmerman and Kellyn Acosta, the two FCD selections, have only played in one World Cup Qualifier (WCG) between them. Acosta made his first appearance (and start) in a 6-0 victory at St. Vincent and the Grenadines last September . On the other hand, DaMarcus Beasley of the Dynamo, who keeps trying to retire from international play, has been called-in again to help address the seemingly endless left back issues the U.S. side faces. If he plays in either of these two qualifiers, it would be his 34th such match since he first appeared in 2001. Other Texans selected to the roster were Nacogdoches and Seattle Sounder Clint Dempsey, a surprising addition given recent health issues, and Dallas native Omar Gonzalez, who started for Pachuca in Wednesday nights CONCACAF Champions League loss against FCD in Frisco. Former Dynamo star, Geoff Cameron, who now plays at Stoke City in England was also called in to the camp. (ussoccer.com)
Texans participating in the U.S. U-16 Boys camp March 5-13 in Florida included goalkeeper Michael Collodi, defender Nathan Toledo and midfielder Thomas Roberts from the FC Dallas Academy and midfielder Marcelo Palomino from the Dynamo Academy. This group is preparing for an April tournament in France. (socceramerica.com)
United Soccer League (USL):
Rio Grande Valley FC (RGVFC) defeated F.C. Reynosa of the Mexican Third Division 1-0 in a closed-door exhibition game 1-0 in Edinburg on Wednesday night. Jose "Memo" Rodriquez scored the only goal on an 83rd minute header off of a penalty that had hit the crossbar. RGVFC play their final preseason game next Wednesday when LigaMX's Monterrey F.C. visit to open the new H-E-B Park in Edinburg. H-E-B Park-Edinburg, TX (Photo courtesy of RGVFC)
San Antonio F.C. played Tulsa Roughnecks to a 1-1 draw in an exhibition game at Toyota Field last Saturday. Billy Forbes scored the only SAFC goal in the 24th minute and Rafa Castillo was shown Red in the 50th minute. SAFC will play their final preseason game this Sunday in Frisco against the FC Dallas Reserves. They then travel to play RGVFC in Edinburg a week from Sunday (March 26th at 6 p.m.) for the USL regular season opener for both teams.
Premier Development League (PDL):
The Bryan City Council recently approved $1.6 million in funding for Nutrabolt Stadium, which will be the home of the new Bryan/College Station area PDL soccer team, recently named the Brazos Valley Cavalry. The money will be to install artificial turf, improve lighting and reconstruct the grandstands. Nutrabolt Stadium is a multi-use facility that also is the home of a minor league baseball team. The image below shows the overlay of the soccer field on the current baseball stadium field. The Cavalry, an affiliate of the Houston Dynamo, will begin their 2017 PDL regular season on May 25 at Mississippi Brilla. The PDL is a nationwide amateur soccer league that predominantly serves as a place for college players to play at a higher level, while retaining their NCAA eligibility.
