Community Legal Centre Funding Still Vulnerable
Nearly 60 community legal centres across Australia face funding cuts commencing 1 July and ongoing funding uncertainty, according to the Federation of Community Legal Centres Victoria.
Xavier Smerdon | 12 March 2015 at 3:51 pm
The FCLC said the reinstatement of two-year funding to just one community legal centre by the Federal Government has been welcomed, but leaves 13 centres in Victoria and 60 nationally vulnerable.
"Yarra Ranges Community Legal Centre is a great example of why free legal help in local communities is vitally important, especially given the prevalence of family violence, and we commend the Federal Government for acknowledging that cutting this service would have a devastating impact," FCLC Executive Officer, Liana Buchanan said.
"However, centres throughout Victoria and Australia are still facing cuts that will leave vulnerable people with no options for legal help. For the sake of these centres and their clients, we hope to see similar announcements made in coming weeks."
Buchanan said it was also unacceptable that community legal centres nationally are being asked to wait until the May Federal Budget to know what funding they will receive beyond 30 June.
"Lawyers are already being lost, outreach programs are being scaled back, and centres are at risk of closure," she said.
"Cuts announced in the 2014-15 Budget will see a 25 per cent reduction in funding of community legal centres by the Federal Government by 2017–18 ($44.6m in 2013–14 to $32.7m in 2017–18).
"The Government should acknowledge the scale of legal need against just $32.6 million coming to community legal centres from the Federal Government in 2017–18. And that's without considering the question of further cuts that may be revealed through the May Federal Budget.
"These cuts not only need to be reversed as a matter of urgency, community legal centres need to be funded to address already overwhelming demand.
"We're far from the only voice calling for a reversal of the cuts – the Productivity Commission has recommended an injection of $200 million into legal assistance services, and State and Territory Attorneys-General last week wrote to Federal Attorney-General George Brandis warning that legal assistance funding is in crisis.
"A further disturbing contrast is provided by the Federal Government's expenditure on its own legal services, at $688.6 million in 2013–14 according to the latest available report (PDF) from the Attorney-General's Department.
"While the Federal Government spends $688.6 million on its own legal services, it contributes less than seven per cent of that sum to community legal centres nationally. Community legal centre funding is used to make victims of family violence safer, and help low-income disadvantaged people with common but often serious legal problems related to homelessness, credit and debt, and employment."

Cody Horn a Gas as "Rescue Me's" Perfect Woman
Published at 6:40 pm on July 26, 2010
Steve Pasquale might have a tumultuous love life as Sean Garrity in FX's "Rescue Me." But the road to love is going to hit some serious bumps -- even as he finds seemingly the most perfect woman in the world played by newcomer Cody Horn.
She is gorgeous fashion model with blonde hair and stunning green eyes. Her "Rescue Me" character Emily would seem to be a guy's dream -- except for the gas.
"She has an issue," Horn reveals to PopcornBiz. "It's post-coital flatulence."
Yes, we were shocked when she dropped this bomb on us at the press day for her latest movie, "Flipped."
Horn says that Emily's emergence initially seems to be the perfect situation for the relational battle-torn Garrity.
"She's normal," says Horn. "She works in a bridal store. She's lovely and nice."
"She's a breath of fresh air," she adds. "But she does have an affliction."
The fresh air sadly leaves the room after sex.
"Maybe they deal with it, maybe they don't," teases Horn when asked how Garrity handles the issue.
Clearly, there's some dealing. Horn admits it's a 10-episode arc. That's a lot of air clearing.
In real-life Horn is a serious star to watch. Besides being a Ralph Lauren model, her father is Warner Brothers honcho Alan Horn and her model is model/actress, Cindy Horn. She's also clearly in possession of a sense of humor.
Horn also rocks in "Flipped," a part she insists was given to her as she dropped a friend off to audition for a separate part. Judging from her stunning looks, you actually could see director Rob Reiner making such a decision. Meanwhile sixth season of "Rescue Me" returns to FX on June 29.


Hillings was the representative for California's 25th congressional district and was a Republican. He served from 1953 to 1958.
He was previously the representative for California's 12th congressional district as a Republican from 1951 to 1952.
I want to urge Hillings to take an action on a bill.
Look for a contact form on Rep. Patrick Hillings's website to express your opinion.
Head over to Rep. Patrick Hillings's website. If you are having a problem with a government agency, look for a contact link for casework to submit a request for help. Otherwise, look for a phone number on that website to call his office if you have a question.

Chemistry - Why does chocolate melt so easily?
tl;dr The main structural component of chocolate is cocoa butter, which is a blend of fatty acids (primarily oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids). Cocoa butter has multiple crystal structures, and manufacturers target a specific form which melts at around 33 °C. The fact that chocolate is about 90% sugar and cocoa butter is why chocolate is (chemically) insensitive to temperature changes.
While chocolate itself is a giant mess of hundreds of different compounds, the primary structural material of chocolate is fat. Wikipedia lists a typical composition (by mass) of about 60% sugar, 30% fats, and 10% proteins/other. So it's not terribly surprising that chocolate doesn't sublime or decompose. You probably wouldn't expect a ball of butter + sugar to suddenly decompose at 50 °C, and for the most part, chocolate is chemically pretty similar.
Now, what's interesting about cocoa butter is that it can form multiple crystal structures, and it's actually a bit tricky to get the right crystal structure out. You can read about the process in this RSC article if you'd like. The one that most chocolatiers are after is polymorph V, which is glossy and melts just below body temperature.
However, a different polymorph, polymorph, VI is the most stable form of cocoa butter, and it has a melting point that's a bit higher. It also tends to have a faint white crust on it (known as "fat bloom"). As a result, it's not as pleasant to look at, not as pleasant to eat (since it takes some chewing on to get it to melt), and generally undesirable.
Since form VI is the most stable, all chocolate eventually goes "bad" and becomes not as delicious as the maker originally intended. If you've ever bitten into an old chocolate bar and thought it was a bit waxy and unmelty, you've experienced this interconversion. I've been told by someone who did research on crystal structure kinetics that chocolate manufacturers spend lots and lots of money on research in hopes of being able to slow down or stop this process.
Now, I'd like to take stab at addressing two points in the question:
chill the molten chocolate, and you'll still get chocolate
Yes, but is it the exact same chocolate as you got before? What if you take the molten chocolate and put it in the freezer, or, heaven forbid, drop it in liquid nitrogen? Does the resulting chocolate still melt at the same temperature? My suspicion (based on this chart) is that you'll have generated some of the lower-melting cocoa forms, and thus the chocolate will get soft and melt at a much lower temperature than previously.
And why does milk chocolate (tend to) melt faster than dark chocolate (higher-cocoa content)?
I don't know. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say it's because milk chocolate tends to contain more sugar than dark chocolate, and so you're seeing some form of freezing-point depression. However, if it turns out that, at similar concentrations of sugar, milk chocolate still melts more quickly, I'd have no idea.
Chipbuster's answer is excellent. Let me add in an important point: chocolate is not a homogenous solution, but an emulsion where all the sugar, protein etc is emulsified in the fat content. As in the other post it is said cocoa butter is polymorphic and generally crystallize around room temperature. When it is melt, you have a regular emulsion (like creams or butter), and when it is solidified it is still the same emulsion, but with the solid fat.
It also means adding other fats can shift the melting point: milk chocolate contains lot of milk powder, therefore the fat-phase is only partially cocabutter, diluted with milk fat (same as butter or cream), which makes lower melting point and also the crystallinity of the fat is somewhat compromised.
I think you are seriously overestimating chocolate's stability of consistence because these days all but the most expensive kinds of chocolate are stuffed with emulsifiers generally keeping the consistence together. Before soy (and milk) was used in that function, you had to prepare chocolate in a Conche to get an enjoyable consistency.
Also if you are working with "organic" couverture without additional emulsifiers, getting your chocolates to dry without having cocoa butter bloom out all over them within hours and turn them into a shoddy mottled whitish-grey is a real nightmare.
Been there, done that, had to do lots of overtime.

Missing Brecon Beacons teen found after search by more than 40 rescuers

More than 40 mountain rescuers joined a search for a missing teenager in the Brecon Beacons.
Five teams took part in the hunt for the 17-year-old in Waterfalls Country near Ystradfellte.
Three search dogs from Sarda South Wales also joined the operation last week, which involved Central Beacons, Brecon, Western Beacons and Longtown MRTs, and the youth was found shortly before midnight. He was cold and tired and was taken by rescuers to a waiting ambulance.
The callout was one of four in the space of eight days for the Abergavenny-based Longtown Mountain Rescue Team.
The previous Saturday team members went to the aid of two visitors from the Netherlands.
A Longtown MRT spokesperson said: "They were walking a section of the Beacons Way and found the path from 550m high at Crug Mawr blocked by snowdrifts.
"They tried to find an alternative route down the mountain but became lost and as night fell called 999.
"Longtown MRT found the couple near Llanbedr and walked them to safety. They were cold and exhausted but otherwise unharmed and team members drove them to their car which was parked 7km [4 miles] away."
On Valentine's Day, the team was called by Gwent Police to help an injured walker near Tintern. The team was assembled at the Abbey Mill, Tintern, and the injured man was airlifted by rescue helicopter to hospital.
The final callout came on Sunday when the team was alerted by police to help an Australian tourist who was lost and exhausted at 646m [2,119ft] Pen Twyn Glas, above Cwmdu.
The man, in his 50s, had been walking from Table Mountain, near Crickhowell, when he became cold, lost and disorientated in low cloud and mist.
He was found by passing walkers who helped him and loaned him extra clothing.
Longtown MRT sent two team runners to reach him and they tended to him until further members of the team reached him.The man was re-warmed and medically assessed on the mountain and then walked down to the team's incident control vehicle. There the team doctor gave him a final check over to ensure he was fit and well. He was then driven to his car parked 5km [3 miles] away.
Luke Lewis, team leader of Longtown MRT said: "It's been a busy few days for us, but we're just pleased that all the rescues have ended successfully.
"All our members are volunteers and are on call 24 hours a day seven days a week. I'd like to pay tribute to their dedication.
"[Sunday's] rescue took almost four hours but the team members still made it home in time to see the rugby."

We have been working on the reseach for blood pressure regulation and body fluid regulation. We have been focusing on the infuence of renal function on such regulations. Especially the movement of sodium ions in renal tubule would be the major factor. Now we are interested in the sodium trenaport in distal tubule, which might induce the focal release of bioactive proteins and following physiological reaction of small artery.


"One of the biggest problems we face as a nation is the massive accumulation of federal regulations. Administrative rules now impose an estimated burden of $1.86 trillion on the nation's economy—roughly $15,000 per household. Every President since Jimmy Carter has endorsed the idea of reviewing old regulations to get rid of those that are excessively burdensome, outdated, or ineffective. But too many unjustified regulations continue to hold back job creation and economic growth. The SCRUB Act will provide a commonsense and practical means to reduce the unnecessary costs of existing regulations.
Establishes a bipartisan, Blue-Ribbon, BRAC-style commission to review existing federal regulations and identify those that should be repealed to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens.
Sets the Commission's goal to be the reduction of at least 15 percent in the cumulative costs of federal regulation with a minimal reduction in the overall effectiveness of such regulation.
Prioritizes for review regulations that are major rules, have been in effect more than 15 years, impose paperwork burdens that could be reduced substantially without significantly diminishing regulatory effectiveness, impose disproportionately high costs on small businesses, or could be strengthened in their effectiveness while reducing regulatory costs.
Establishes key additional factors to be taken into account when identifying regulations for repeal (e.g., the regulations have: been rendered obsolete by technological or market changes; achieved their goals and can be repealed without target problems recurring; are ineffective; overlap, duplicate or conflict with other federal regulations or with state and local regulations; or, impose costs that are not justified by benefits produced for society within the United States).
Requires that annual and final Commission recommendations of regulations for presented to Congress for approval by joint resolutions of Congress. If Congress votes to approve the Commission's recommendations, repeal must take place.
For any given regulation, the Commission is authorized to recommend either immediate repeal or repeal through "cut-go" procedures, whereby agencies, on a forward basis, would have to offset the costs of new regulations by repealing Commission-identified regulations of equal or greater cost. These procedures allow immediate repeal in the most urgent cases and staggered repeals of other regulations to assure a smoother process for agencies and affected entities.
In the House of Representatives, the SCRUB Act is sponsored by Rep. Jason Smith. It passed the both the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee this fall.
Senator Hatch has played a key role in every major regulatory reform effort for the past 38 years, including as an original cosponsor of the 1981 Regulatory Reform Act and as an author of the 1995 Comprehensive Regulatory Reform Act while serving as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
His past proposals that address the problem of regulatory accumulation include the original Regulatory Accountability Act of 1993, which included a number of mechanisms for implementing retrospective review similar to those in the SCRUB Act. In major addresses at the Reagan Ranch in October and at the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention in November, Senator Hatch named the SCRUB Act among the regulatory reform proposals that will be his top priorities in the 114th Congress.
Sounds like more red tape, bureaucracy, and spending in order to eliminate red tape bureaucracy, and spending. Ah, Washington!
Let's start by SCRAPping DOMA. I don't care who my neighbors are marrying, as long as they mow their lawns, keep their dogs quiet, and keep the music turned down.
We need to SCRUB Hatch who probably is responsible for many worthless regulations and bills.


Governor of Bali, Made Mangku Pastika, expected the regencies/ city government immediately apply the online hotel and restaurant tax (PHR) collection to reduce regional revenue leakage.
"Like it or not, we should intervene this PHR issue to increase local revenues, which can be used for the welfare of the people," he said in Denpasar, on Friday.
According to him, during the development of tourism in Bali, it runs so rapidly and at the same time has also given its load. "The online PHR is a potential way to reduce the possibility of leakage of revenue," he said.
Citing the data from the Central Bureau of Statistics of Bali Province, the number of poor people on the island until September 2013 reached 186 thousand people (4.49 percent). The amount was up by 24 thousand people or 0.54 percent compared to the number of poor people in March 2013, which were 162 thousand people (3.95 percent).
Pastika added that if the local income is greater, one of them is through online PHR, more budgets can be allocated for poverty alleviation.
"The budget for decreasing poverty has increased sharply, in 2008 only amounted to Rp80 billion to Rp637 billion this year. Moreover, poverty reduction if handled by regencies/ city governments it would have finished sooner," he said.
He cited the program such as the Integrated Village Development (Gerbangsadu) launched since 2012 to accelerated poverty reduction. Moreover, villages in Bali were also supported with supporting agricultural programs, PNPM Mandiri, education, job training, house renovation and Integrated Farming Systems (Simantri).
On the other hand, Pastika also asked the structural officials to be active thinking of solutions to control the population growth that is currently increasing.
"Spatial arrangement is also needed for controlling new hotels in the region of southern Bali, which is now too much, but it's lack of services, given the limited supporting capacity of Bali," he said.

Scientists at the University of Kentucky, led by nano-biotechnologist Peixuan Guo, have made an important discovery into the operation of biomotors, the molecular machines used by viruses and bacteria in the packaging of DNA. Biomotors function similarly to mechanical motors but on a nano-scale.
The researchers have reported on the discovery of a new, third class of biomotor, unique in that it uses a "revolution without rotation" mechanism. Rotation is the turning of an object around its own axle, as the Earth does every 24 hours. Revolution is the turning of an object around a second object, as the Earth does around the sun.

What Happens to the Medicaid Expansion?
The expansion of medicaid is how a huge number of the uninsured will be getting their care in the ACA. With that, the supreme court ruling may have thrown a major wrench in the ability to pull that off. David Dayen:
As I explained yesterday, the part of the ruling around the Medicaid expansion, where 7 justices agreed that this was basically a new program, and existing Medicaid funds could not be taken back by the federal government if states declined to comply, has the most near-term consequences for health care itself. Given that Medicaid expansion created half of the coverage increases in the bill, this offered half of the states the opportunity to really take an axe to the program by simply refusing to expand their Medicaid programs. And it leaves the poor between around 50% and 133% of the poverty line in a real no man's land, because they would both be ineligible for Medicaid AND the coverage subsidies in the exchanges (and ineligible for the mandate, but that just puts them in the status quo, which is terrible).
This has been dismissed by the Democratic establishment as implausible. But it's such a good deal for those states, they say. But everyone's in Medicaid now, they say.
It's true that it's a very good deal for states. As Pelosi says, the first three years is basically free, and after that the state only has to pick up less than 10% of the costs. In the example of Texas, by 2019, the state will have spent a mere $2.6 billion on the expansion, while the federal government will have shelled out $52.5 billion. And Pelosi even hinted that the feds could pick up more of that cost (which sounds close to federalizing Medicaid, which is really the killer app here).
Furthermore, looking to history, Medicaid itself was created in 1965. It remains a voluntary program, and Arizona held out for 17 years, until 1982, becoming the last to create their own program for their state. So if all states, including the red states, have Medicaid now, doesn't that suggest all states will take the expansion over time?
Perhaps. But Pelosi's response strikes me as the typical Democratic dismissal of conservative ideological intransigence. This is a far more conservative era than 1965. These state governors are well to the right of the crop that held out in Arizona. And Obamacare is seen as the devil's handiwork. I'd argue that these governors are ideologically far to the right of even 2009, when all of them took stimulus money eventually. The resisters just paid lip service and eventually took the funds. But there wasn't a Tea Party to pressure them to the right on these grounds. Scott Walker and Rick Scott and John Kasich came right into office and denied the high speed rail funds for Wisconsin and Florida and Ohio, for example. That's the crop we're talking about.
There is no way to know for sure, but I agree with Dayen's prediction here. To me, the high speed rail is a perfect example. That was a free gift to those states that they could not afford on their own and do wonders for economic productivity in the long run. And they turned it down. They actively made their states shittier places to take a stand against insanely popular high speed rail. Why would they turn down a chance to make their state shittier and take a principled stand against a law that is unpopular in the abstract?
This is a different breed of asshole governor. I tend to expect the worst from them, and so far I haven't been proven wrong. I also hope that all the Democrats that are so confident about these states opting in to the medicaid expansion have a damn good plan B, because they're going to need it.

An Ottawa woman has launched a $3-million class action on behalf of more than 100 condo owners, claiming builder Theberge Developments Ltd. failed to deliver on its promises and blindsided purchasers with hidden costs.
Sabrina Heyde, 31, alleges the builder "tricked" her into signing an agreement to rent her forced air heating system.
She put a $20,000 deposit down on a two-bedroom unit in the Alta Vista Ridge development on Everest Private, south of St. Laurent Shopping Centre, in 2011. The building was not yet constructed at the time.
Two years later Heyde was asked to meet with the builder to pick out tiles and paint colours. She claims that during that meeting the developer slipped the heating system rental agreement into a pile of unrelated paperwork, and she signed it without realizing what it was.
Heyde and other condo owners now pay $89 a month for their combined heating system and hot water tank, a cost some of them claim was never disclosed by the developer.
"It's an issue of being tricked, it's an issue of being lied to," Heyde said.
Theberge, which operates as Theberge Homes, disputes the claims of breach of contract, breach of the Condominium Act and negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation, and intends to file an appeal to have the case thrown out.
Experienced real estate investor Kevin Marshall claims he never signed the agreement to rent a heating system.
"We just got stuck with it," said Marshall, who also sits on the condo board. "It was unknown and it wasn't explained."
Marshall has purchased five investment properties including a triplex and a four-unit building, and said furnaces have always been included.
Marshall said he went to a lawyer to try to get out of the condo purchase, but claims Theberge refused.
Valeda Babineau and Joe Corkery said they feel "cheated" and "deceived" by Theberge. The couple is nearing retirement and recently decided to downsize to a condo.
"We were lied to," said Babineau. "We didn't know that when we purchased we were going to have to pay an extra $89 a month... Otherwise I think we would have thought twice about purchasing."
Babineau and Corkery said they were told about the heating system rental during their upgrades meeting and were so upset they also went to a lawyer to try to get out of the deal.
The couple said they spent $3,000 in legal fees, but couldn't get out of the purchase.
The lawsuit also accuses the developer of reneging on a promise to provide more than 60 condo owners with storage lockers, even though the lockers were included in their original purchase agreements, according to court documents.
The company blamed a drafting error in an original contract, which stated storage lockers were included in the purchase price.
"I would have not purchased the place without storage," said Babineau.
"They manipulated us," said Corkey.
An Ottawa judge certified the class action earlier this month. Justice Robert Smith wrote in his decision that purchasers "were in a vulnerable position when dealing with the developer," and said they either had to close the transaction and sue for damages, or forfeit their deposits.
Class actions against condo developers are a growing trend in Toronto, where the market has been booming for years, but it's believed this is the first lawsuit of its kind in Ottawa.
According to a statement submitted by Theberge president Joey Theberge, Reliance Home Comfort approached him in 2013 and sold him on the idea of a rented heating system.
According to court documents, Theberge tasked his agent with speaking to buyers about the rental fee at upgrade meetings so they had an opportunity to ask questions or raise concerns.
"I wanted to ensure that each purchaser understood and accepted the rental fees," he wrote.
"If almost every purchaser had not executed the rental acknowledgement, I would have not have installed the ... system," he wrote in his submission.
CBC spoke to two condo owners who said they understood the agreement and what they were renting.
Joey Theberge did not provide CBC News with an interview by the deadline provided, but did a provide a statement, in which he claims he "offered to install storage prior to this litigation at no cost to the home buyers as a goodwill gesture."
Past and present condo board members say condo owners have yet to be presented with this offer.
Heyde said she hopes the lawsuit encourages other condo buyers to stand up to developers.
"This is the only way really to stop them from doing it," said Heyde."

Icon in Construction
Origin. Transmutation. Materialisation. Regression. Rebirth. Decadence. Development. Cycle. Pulse. Revolution.
A dialogue between sound and image, between the moment just before now and the moment just after now.
Josephine Grundy: butoh dance, voice, costume design
El Pepe Bolívar: electric guitar and effects
ICON IN CONSTRUCTION is a triptych that combines different performance languages (essentially butoh dance, sound, and visual art) to convey multiple perspectives or simultaneous narratives around the body and its journey through time and space. We catch glimpses of a woman, or the image of a woman, in different phases. Ghostly, timeless, historical, atemporal, iconic, deconstructed, pure matter in movement. A body, a voice, an instrument that goes beyond its own limitations and challenges the expectations they generate. There is no single pulse, no central tone, no formal register, we are in process, in constant vibration.
A body of work that seeks to engage with and reflect on the present moment in history. Destruction and construction are ever-present themes in butoh dance and seem particularly pertinent in this moment of crisis. What is being destroyed? Which icons are being defaced? And what are we trying to build? On what foundations? During the confinement period I took the opportunity to experiment with less familiar media such as painting, sculpture and video/stop-motion, and I was fascinated to observe how my butoh practice came through in these forms and is informed by them as I continue to develop this work.
JOSEPHINE GRUNDY (UK/France, 1975) is a multi-disciplinary artist and teacher based in Barcelona since 1996. Her academic training was initially in Human Sciences and in 1996 she received a Bsc. (2.1) from University College London, specialising in history and philosophy of science. In parallel with her humanistic studies she has always felt a great attraction towards the performing
arts, studying music and dance since she was a child, and a keen interest in language, thanks to her bilingual upbringing. In Barcelona she studied the Jacques Lecoq theatre method and received a diploma from Estudis de Teatre Berty Tobías in 2003. She also trained with several physical theatre companies and directors, including Katalin Györffy, Susan Byrne, Teatro de los Sentidos, Théâtre du Mouvement, Cie Jeanne Simone and Carolina Pizarro (Odin Teatret). She performed as an actor in several theatre productions including The Little Shop of Horrors (Jocular Theatre) and The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat (12×12 Company). Around this time she also began to perform in a wide range of international festivals with the street theatre companies Osadía and Dádivas, travelling all over Europe and to other parts of the world such as Japan, Australia, China, Hong, Kong, Macau, the USA and Canada. This was a great opportunity to travel and experience different cultures, which she feels has been very important in the development of her work, giving her a wider perspective. Josephine studied music and vocal technique (Loti Lewis, Estill Voice Craft), has sung and played
guitar and piano in several music groups, including Monkey Rhythm, Pete Thompson and her own show of french Chanson music, and lends her voice to all kinds of professional recordings (commercial voice-overs, dubbing, audioguides, e-learning, soundtracks for dance and theatre, music recordings...)
In the last 15 years she has been very involved in the practice of butoh dance, studying with masters from Japan and other parts of the world (including Rosana Barra, Atsushi Takenouchi, Tebby Ramisake, Imre Thormann, Minako Seki, Gyohei Zaitsu, Yoshito Ohno, Yumiko Yoshioka, and Seisaku) and has been investigating the relationship between voice and dance. She has performed with several butoh artists and companies, including Marlène Jöbstl, Cuerpo Transitorio and Hu Chia Dance Theatre, and she has presented her dance and voice pieces in a variety of international events, such as Alma Negra Festival (Madrid), Experimenta Menorca and several editions of Barcelona en Butoh Festival. She is currently developing her own work within the VoxDansa project, collaborates regularly with other artists and musicians, and shares her knowledge and experience in the form of butoh dance and voice workshops, regular classes and one-on-one coaching and mentoring.
EL PEPE BOLÍVAR
Born in Caracas, Venezuela (1989) as Luís Felipe Bolívar Fioretti, he always had a wide variety of cultural and musical influences, from the indigenous, orchestral, blues, jazz, soul, funk, rock, metal, fusion, ambient and music of films and video games. Since his training has been mainly self-taught since he was 15 years old, he also studied Guitar, Musical Language, Modern Harmony and Ensemble in the Caracas Jazz Taller (2010) by teachers such as Óscar Fanega, Luca Vincenzetti, Willy Díaz, Abelardo Bolaños and Roberto Martínez among others... He has dedicated himself to training in the area of Musical Production and Teaching, as well as in the creation of audio-visual material to combine in an integral way in the aspects of his work. Currently based in Barcelona, Spain (2015) he has sought to expand his performances in addition to conventional musical scenarios by collaborating with a series of artists from different disciplines, working as a composer, performer, producer and session musician. More recently he has been very interested in using his vocation more than in a social, ethical, political, responsible and humanistic artistic way.

Clinical trial leads to a decrease in early deaths from rare and aggressive acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)
The use of a simplified treatment regimen by oncologists, along with management recommendations and 24/7 support provided by a limited and dedicated group of academic disease experts, resulted in a dramatic decrease in early deaths from acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).
The finding is from a multi-center prospective trial by the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (study EA9131). The primary aim was to decrease induction (days 2–35) mortality from an estimated 30% to 15% or less. Study EA9131 met its primary objective, with a mortality rate of only 3.5%.
Lead researcher Anand P. Jillella, MD, presented the unique collaborative care model December 11 at the 64th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition in New Orleans.
"A standardized algorithm with expert support decreases early deaths from APL and increases overall survival," said Dr. Jillella, a medical oncologist and APL expert at the Georgia Cancer Center and Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University. "Most oncologists currently lack access to simplified care instructions and institutional pathways for management recommendations to improve patient outcomes."
APL, a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), is extremely rare, with only about 3,000 new cases annually in the U.S. In addition, the treatment differs from the treatment of most other types of AML. As a result, many providers lack familiarity with how to treat this disease.
Prompt diagnosis and treatment of APL are critical because patients can quickly develop life-threatening blood clotting or bleeding problems if not treated emergently. With advances over the last decade, arsenic trioxide and non-chemotherapy drugs called differentiating agents, like all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), are now the standard APL treatments. These treatments are highly effective; however, the early death rate in APL is high at up to 30%.
"With our current therapies, APL, previously one of our deadliest leukemias, is now curable, and when that happens, people maintain their quality of life and go back to doing what they used to do. But these treatments cause side effects that are not typical of standard chemotherapy and can lead to death. Since most deaths from APL occur in the first 30 days of treatment, if patients survive the first month, it's a home run," said Dr. Jillella.
The three most common causes of early death during the induction period are bleeding, infection, and differentiation syndrome, the latter caused by complications that develop from the treatment. Other risk factors for mortality include older age (over 60 years), comorbid conditions, especially obesity, and the complexity of APL at presentation.
"In my opinion, many early deaths from APL are preventable, and I don't think there is any good reason for most of these patients to die," said Dr. Jillella. "Involvement of clinicians familiar with the potential complications is critical."
The EA9131 collaborative care model provided contact with a disease expert who suggested ways to adjust or personalize standard treatment based on the patient's disease status and risk factors. A total of 202 patients enrolled in the trial; 62 at six lead academic centers and 140 at 37 community hospitals through the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP).
There were no exclusions for eligibility based on patient age or general health status.
"Clinical trials for APL tend to enroll younger patients with no comorbid conditions, whereas the general population of APL patients tends to be elderly and with comorbidities," said Dr. Jillella. "However, since many patients present to hospitals where the doctors are not familiar with the intricacies of managing APL, they can benefit from the guidance of someone with more experience."
Seven deaths (3.5%) occurred during the induction period, all due to differentiation syndrome, with four at lead centers and three at community sites. Six of seven deaths were among the elderly (69–91 years).
One-year survival was 94.5%, with no difference between academic and community centers.
"Dr. Jillella has demonstrated that by providing guidance, we can truly optimize the care of and prevent early deaths in APL patients," said ECOG-ACRIN Leukemia Committee Chair Selina M. Luger, MD, the study's APL expert at the University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Cancer Center in Philadelphia.
"This model provides us with a framework to enhance the care of patients with other complex diseases who cannot participate in clinical trials or travel to academic medical centers even if they have limited resources or significant medical comorbidities."
"Based on these results, we are evaluating other ways to provide guided assistance for patients with complicated leukemias and treatment," said Dr. Luger. "Additionally, results of this study have provided insight into treatment modifications for APL patients with significant comorbidities that allow them to achieve remission without additional toxicities."

Ok, I know what you are thinking. Why post something on cheese on toast?
Well, this is not just a slice of cheese slapped on a piece of toast and put under the grill, this is different, delicious, French.
For me, the perfect Sunday night supper and so easy to make. if you live in France you will already know the delicious Saint Marcellin cheese already wrapped in Jambon Cru.
The French are so lucky. These cheeses are available in every supermarket in France. Originally made from goat's milk, more recently also made from cow's milk, Saint Marcellin can be pasteurised or unpasteurised. They weight approximately 100g (3-4 ounces) and when young have a mild and tangy flavour.
All you do when getting them home, is to preheat the oven to 200c, unwrap the cheeses and place on a lightly greased baking tray. Scatter with a few fresh thyme sprigs, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and put in the oven until the cheese starts to bubble and melt and the Jambon crisps lightly. Depending on the age of the cheese, this will take 3-5 minutes.
Now, what if you do not live in France?
Well, most good cheese suppliers stock logs of mild goat's cheese. Buy a piece and cut into slices. Wrap with some thin slices of prosciutto and follow the method above.

WANG Jiwu Talks with George Hara, Board Chairman of Japan Defta Foundation and Member of Cabinet OfficePrint
Post Time:2019-12-16来源:Tusholdings
On December 14, at the invitation of WANG Jiwu, George Hara, Board Chairman of Japan Defta Foundation and Member of Cabinet Office, visited TusHoldings. The two parties had an in-dept discussion on some matters of mutual concern, such as new technological revolution and innovation incubation system.
During the discussion, WANG Jiwu emphasized the unique "Triple Helex" mode and existing innovation eco-system layout of TusHoldings. Mr. George Hara also mainly introduced their investment in the field of massive health in recent years, especially in the gene technology and cancer treatment. The two parties reached a consensus that the innovation cooperation between Chinese and Japanese enterprises, especially in the aspects of AI, medical health and new-generation communication technology, should be promoted jointly against the challenges of aging society and geopolitics.
Mr. George Hara established the Defta Foundation in 1984 and successfully invested in many communication technology enterprises, such as Silicon Valley, from 1990 to 2010 as one of the most successful investors in the Silicon Valley history. Recently, Mr. George Hara has paid more attention to the technical innovation in the field of medical health, and actively invested in gene technology and medical care service, so as to drive the application of relevant technologies and the improvement of people's livelihood with his extensive influence in Japanese government and business. Currently, he is the Member of Japan Cabinet Office, the Special Adviser of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Industrial Planning Adviser of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, etc. With the above posts, Mr. George Hara has been actively promoting the reduction of tax rate to drive long-term investment and R&D investment of enterprises, and standardized the financial and tax system of the Japanese government. Since the publication of his treatise titled An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations in 2007, the concept of public welfare capitalism proposed by Mr. George Hara in the book has been more and more widely recognized by the Japanese high-level government and business, and has demonstrated positive impacts on the direction of industrial and economic policies in Japan in recent years.
Mr. George Hara also visited Life Healthcare, a company invested by TusHoldings, and Cordmagic, and was shown around TusHoldings' digital exhibition hall by YANG Ming, General Manager of Tus-S&T Service. Danzhi Ganxiong, Managing Director of Defta, Stanley Sakai, Director of EMS Capital, and relevant officials of TusHoldings participated in such visits and discussions.

This is where I usually stitch. Craig usually sprawls out on the settee and never ventures into my chair for danger of sitting on a needle or pin lol! I have mostly everything I need around me and my floss and some WIPs are under the coffee table not too far away.
It seems we have a pet spider in our house. We saw the same size spider in our bedroom last week but then scared it away. Today I went to get the hoover from the corner and there it was again, same huge spider! This time I managed to snap him before he ran off. Seriously this spider is HUGE!
Anyway, today I started with the best of intentions. My new goal - to iron, iron, iron. My ironing pile is all the clothes we own apart from what's ironed and put away, about half dozen items in the laundry basket and some in the dryer. Can't you tell I hate ironing!!!
Anyway, I'm not moving any of it until it's all done and put away. Even if it takes me the rest of the night! I got way laid earlier and cleared out and re arranged the cupboard in the spare room. Which is also one of my goals but for another day. Oh well, it's done now. At least I managed to get all the holiday stuff in one place on top of the wardrobe. All the 'memory box' stuff in the cupboard along with my various folders and finally, the bottom of the cupboard is my new hiding place for all the stuff I keep for crafts/junk modelling. Craig hates me keeping boxes and bits. Now he won't notice. He never goes in that cupboard lol!
Well I better start on the ironing or Craig won't have no where to sit when he gets home!
Scrap it and just use the chart and threads on some aida fabric instead.
Finish it as it is. It might turn out fine in the end.
Frog everything I've done and start again using more thread to cover the fabric.
Any suggestions, ideas etc. welcome via e-mail/comments.
Oh and of course most important of all. I FINSHED WINDING ALL MY BOBBINS!!! YAY!!
I've just being reading my friend Meari's blog ( Hi Meari! ) and found this - the 50 Project Challenge. So hey I thought how cool and am jumping right in with her. I've not got that much stash though so I'm just doing a 10 project challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to reduce the amount of patterns I haven't stitched and stash not used.
Have fun reducing my stash.
Thou shall not purchase any new patterns until 10 projects have been stitched. Pattern size does not matter.
Exemptions - the goal of this challenge is to reduce stash so too many exemptions will sabotage these efforts. These are my exemptions: gifts, gift cards, trades, exchanges, RAKs, patterns bought with gift money and supplies for projects stitched during challenge.
Freebies count as part of your total and you can aquire them at any point.
I've got quite a bit of stitching done this week for a change. I did some more on Moonlight Bay and gave it it's own folder in my photos. I also did pretty much all of the dark skirt I could within the hoop on Feathers & Friends. Though I did frog a little bit cos I wasn't concentrating properly. I still haven't bought bobbins so haven't finished that yet. I will by Monday!! I did buy a very cool chart though. MONOPOLY!! Loads of people on the group have been chatting about it and so I finally had a look at it this week and thought it was pretty cool and so did Craig so we went mad and got it on Ebay. It came to $20 ish in the end. Bargain!! All I need now is an American Monopoly set so we can use it as a game board when I've finished it!
Well I managed to wind and arrange all of my DMC threads into boxes. I only have duplicates/triplicates left to do and I need to buy more bobbins to do that so off to my LNS tomorrow. I'm dead proud of how neat they are so I'm showing them off LOL! And no, I didn't use a bobbin winder I did them by hand. The pics actually look real cool as a desktop background too. I took some close up pics of the floss and it looks good on my screen. It won't last long though because Craig will want it off as soon as he sees it!
And this is what it's supposed to look like finished. I bought this years ago in a sale for £4. I'm not so keen on it anymore and have no idea what I'll do with it when it's finished but who knows maybe it will grow on me.
Anyway I think that's plenty enough of an update for now. Have a good weekend everyone!
Well this week I'm trying to reach a few major goals. One of them is to wind all the floss I have lying around onto bobbins. Last Saturday I spent the entire afternoon sat out in the sun winding bobbins and now have a nice tan on my arms! The last few days I've been winding them while watching tv or checking e-mails. I'm getting there slowly. Anyway, I'll be well chuffed when they're done cos that means I've reached one of my goals!! The others aren't really stitchy related so I won't go there. I'm getting ever nearer to finishing the first half of Heart Strings. For such a small piece it's taken me ages and ages to do. I've just got some backstitch and the wings to finish and then it's off to the framers. I can really get going on the second half then. I want to get back into stitching Feathers & Friends too but we'll have to see how everything else goes. Anyway I'm gonna go and get on with winding my bobbins.
If you're Craig DON'T LOOK!!
We all had a wonderful day at Dover Castle. It was the only day when the weather was glorious! I also got the chance to ride on one of Claire's Shire horses! They're huge! It's the only thing we didn't get photos of actually. It was a really nice break away altogether. Oh and we were fed really well!! His bro is a chef and Claire is a great cook too. It was like I'd died and gone to food heaven! Anyway, I'll try and upload all my photos to my album tomorrow for people to nosy at!


Ranger Ralph Heath died of exposure while attempting to rescue a woman on Mount Katahdin during a snowstorm.
On Monday, October 28th, 1963, two women climbed to Baxter Peak on Mount Katahdin, by way of the Cathedral Trail, arriving at the summit at 1:30 pm. After lunch, the two women started out across the Knife's Edge and became separated. The two continued on their chosen routes and were in verbal contact until one relayed that she was stuck and could not go up or down.
The second woman descended to Chimney Pond campground by way of the Dudley Trail and alerted Ranger Heath of the situation. At approximately 11:00 pm the weather changed drastically with a storm that deposited two feet of snow over the next 24 hours.
Ranger Heath made two attempts to reach the stranded woman. The second attempt was made at 6:00 am on Tuesday, October 29th, 1963, from the base of the Knife's Edge. He attempted to hike up to the woman from below her position. This was the last known action made by Ranger Heath. At some point, that day, Ranger Heath and the woman succumbed to the elements.
Ranger Heath's body was recovered on May 17th, 1964.


Why is it useful to acquire art objects with a certificate of authenticity?
What should an artist do in the Internet era?
The world, according to Leonardo, is known through the senses, and the eye is the master of the senses, therefore painting is the queen of art. Such reasoning is evidence of the deep conviction of a brilliant painter in the greatness and omnipotence of his art.
The picture is filled with the sun, full of bright colors of the summer, with joy and carelessness, it's hard to tear your eyes: the longer you look, the more you want to be next to the characters among the lush greenery and flowers, and even more so – to hide under the shade of trees and watch a giant grandmother.

Amy Levin: Time for an update on #religion at #occupywallstreet? This week, Sarah Posner mediated a roundtable discussion with Religion Dispatches regular contributors highlighting particular religious moments of the occupy movement. Anthea Butler tells Posner says that Occupy Atlanta's refusal to let civil rights protestor and Congressman John Lewis speak was a reflection of OWS "becoming slaves to the 'process'" rather than accepting inspiration. The civil rights movement, like OWS, didn't have a "complete consensus" either, and it was inspiration, not process, that sustained endurance.

As I've worked on questions of religion and reason, both in the academy and as a journalist, the John Templeton Foundation has been around every turn. As I called, corresponded, and visited with many of the leading thinkers in the science-and-religion discussion, caution was the prevailing tone—some even joked that I should get them on the record saying something nice about the foundation. Those not applying for money now expect to do so in the future, if they haven't taken a principled stand against it. It is probably for this reason that, in all the books and articles published on science and religion year after year, none addresses in any great depth what is really the biggest science-and-religion story of the last quarter-century: the Templeton Foundation itself.

What Happened to The Revealer?
The Revealer has become awfully opaque of late, a static page of rarely renewed writing. That's because I've turned my energies back toward my first internet love, KillingTheBuddha.com. I hope Revealer readers will join me there. It's like The Revealer-plus, and then some.
I'll continue to occasionally blog about religion and media, along with KtBlogger Nathan Schneider, but the main attractions are feature essays and stories, published every Monday and Thursday (and sometimes Saturday), by writers, artists, and photographers covering the religious, political, and aesthetic spectrums. Michael Muhammad Knight writes on the man he calls Allah; Nina Burleigh investigates the unholy world of the Israeli antiquities trade; Meera Subramanian reports on the "100 Unspoken Rules" of a Hindu mangili pondu ceremony; Nathan Schneider compares Al Qaeda recruitment imagery with Donald Rumsfeld's "Full Armor of God"; Revealer editor Kathryn Joyce accepts the 2009 "Vulgaria Child Catcher of the Year Award"; novelist Ilana Stanger-Ross investigates the "Perfect Breasts" of orthodox Brooklyn; and I chip in with "Naked and Guilty," on the eros of evangelicalism and a hell house in Texas.
There'll be more news on the future of The Revealer soon. In the meantime, why don't you read a book, for chrissakes.
And here's an even better book: erstwhile Revealer editor Peter Manseau's Songs for the Butcher's Daughter, also out in paperback this week! It's a beautiful novel about pogroms, poetry, and the death of print — literally — but what makes it really unique is that it won the National Jewish Book Award for fiction.. Peter is the first goy to take the prize in half a century.
Back in 2004, Peter and made a book together called Killing the Buddha: A Heretic's Bible. Amazon apparently loved it so much that lately they've been attributing all sorts of books to the Manseau & Sharlet team. Our latest collaboration is a book we traveled back in time to write, Calvin and the Reformation, published in 1962 by "Peter and Sharlet, Jeff Manseau." But that's really kind of a specialized work. For the general reader, we recommend our other latest collaboration. Here's the premise: An elven witch, a bar mitzvah cheater, and a Bible camp saboteur walk into a bar… and nine years later they walk out with a book: Believer, Beware: First-Person Dispatches from the Margins of Faith, an anthology of KillingTheBuddha.com coming from Beacon Press on July 1.
STARRED REVIEW Believer, Beware: First-Person Dispatches from the Margins of Faith. Beacon, dist. by Houghton. Jul. 2009. 263p. ed. by Jeff Sharlet & others. ISBN 978-0-8070-7739-9. $16.

Interview: Voice Teacher and Producer Peter Strobl Discusses Recording Mark Knopfler
By Alison Richter 2012-08-27T17:04:25Z Feature
As a renowned voice teacher, Peter Strobl has recently gained notoriety for his work with Wolfgang Van Halen, taking him from teenage vocalist to professional singer through intensive preparation for road and studio.
However, Strobl's longstanding career in the music industry spans an interesting and unique array of skills. In addition to teaching, he also is a musician, luthier and producer, and years ago was studio manager at the legendary Shangri La studio in Malibu, California, where Mark Knopfler recorded his 2004 album of the same name.
We recently interviewed Strobl at length about his work in the music industry. Following are some excerpts about his work with Knopfler and his take on the current state of recorded music and vocals.
GUITAR WORLD: How many students are you presently teaching?
I have people who come to me weekly, when they need it, or just when they're doing a project. I'm pretty shy about taking younger kids. The only ones I'll work with are ones I think might have a shot at doing something meaningful down the road. The parents can sometimes be so adamant about giving them lessons that they're going to end up with somebody, and I'd rather they end up with me than with one of these nuts that thinks a pre-teen bellowing "The Sun'll Come Up Tomorrow" is cute.
In a lot of cases, especially with singing students, kids who are in their early teen years, it's like working with a clarinet where they haven't put all the screws in it yet. The instrument isn't finished. So to approach vocal technique in any meaningful way can be premature. I'll do a lot of basic music training. I'll teach them how to do some simple reading, parts singing in classical music, I'll have them do different parts in madrigals, record them, let them hear how they sound, and take them on a musical journey.
I've got some kids who are crossing the gap, getting into high school and doing really well. Sometimes I get kids who are in local theater groups and they might not get the parts they audition for because they're not showing off as much as the next kid. But two years later they're singing well and their voices are developing at the right pace. I've got a guy that just started with me that's working on a self-produced record and looking to get the most out of himself. And I'm always working with a producer pal in Holland over the Internet. I'm not teaching so much as coaching English diction and getting into the mechanics of the differences in the language. So there's all that stuff going on. It's really a mixed bag.
You also repair instruments.
I do basically guitars and basses. I was playing in a Top 40 band in nightclubs in Southern California when Jaco Pastorius' first album came out. I wanted to be just like Jaco, so I took my Fender bass, ripped the frets out and went to work that night. Unfortunately, I had to stare down at my hands because I was playing so out of tune. I had to put a new neck on my bass the next day because the band wanted to stone me, and not in a good way. That got me started working with instruments. That, and sending instruments out for repair and they're not right, or they're not exactly what you want.
I got into the details and I had some really good help. I get a lot of great tips from a guy in Santa Barbara named Jamie Shane, an older cat who played in Canned Heat, who is a burning blues guitar player. His motto is, "If you know I've been there, I didn't do a good job." When he does stuff on a guitar, it's like nothing ever happened, but everything works really well. With vintage instruments it's really important that you fix whatever needs to be fixed, but you don't alter anything.
I just finished a 1930 National Dobro, and right now I've got a Gibson 56 Super 400 with Alnico pickups that's similar to the one Elvis played on the comeback concert, and an ES-5, which is a triple-pickup guitar that T-Bone Walker was known for playing. It's an old blues-dog guitar; it's just fantastic. I'm just doing maintenance on these. I've got an old plectrum guitar with a split neck that will be with me for a while. I've got to figure out how to put that one back together.
These are all the same owner, a collector friend of mine who used to own Shangri La studio. I've been taking care of these guitars for years. There's a Gretsch Sierra acoustic. The top is kind of stoved in and the binding is popping off, but I'm going to figure out how to bring that one back to life. I have to improvise with that. It's not something you read in a book. It's "Let me stare at this long enough and see if I can get this guy to play another song."
You were the studio manager at Shangri La. What did that involve?
I was working with an artist named Beej [Blaine John] Chaney, who was the lead singer of a Minneapolis band called The Suburbs. He had come out here to do a solo career. We had taken this little storefront place in North Hollywood and turned it into a 16-track recording studio. I was helping [producer] Jim Nipar put the last screws in the walls to mount the speakers and Beej walks in and says, "How would you guys like to go to Malibu and work?" He acquired Shangri La and saved it from the wrecking ball. The former owner was going to sell it to developers and they were going to put up condos or something.
We went out there and the place was a shambles. There was no equipment, the integrity of the studio room was compromised, the vocal booth was only half built. We went bumper to bumper, tore out everything and completely rebuilt it. We went to the Sound Factory and pretended to be mixing while we measured the speaker sofits and copied the measurements and angles because that's the vibe that Jim wanted. We gradually brought the place back to life.
We did a couple of benefits up there to draw attention to the place again. That's when we realized we had to completely redo the electrical service, because you'd listen to music really loud and the lights would dim every time the refrigerator kicked in. I was there from about 1993 or 1994. It took a good year to get the place up and running, get a console, get some tape machines, and then in 2004, Beej asked me to be studio manager. What that meant was that I was the studio manager —and the staff. It was basically a one-horse operation and turned out to be a lot more work than just hanging around with musicians.
Mark Knopfler came out to do the Shangri-La album, and everything you would imagine about Mark is true — the good stuff, at least. The first night, we unpacked his guitars, looked them over and tuned them up. He is such a lover of nice guitars, and it was really cool to hear him talk about each one as we got them ready for the sessions. You would have thought they were all old pals of his, which, when you think about it, I guess they were.
The next day, we started organizing Chuck Ainlay's recording equipment and integrating it into the control room. Suddenly nothing worked. The fault was that we had wired the room to be a vintage old-school downtown Hollywood room in the days when everything was Pin 3 hot, which is out of phase with everything since the Civil War. So we were plugging in tape machines, outboard gear and mic pre's, and everything was out of phase. Nothing was working.
That night, I was up with a soldering iron re-soldering two tape machines worth of harnesses, which is two 24-track snakes per, as many of the outboard snakes as I could manage, and going through and retesting all the mic panels in the room. It was a nightmare at the start, but eventually we got it organized and everyone had a great time. I think Mark and the band enjoyed the vibe of the place and recorded a wonderful album.
I understand that he still records on tape.
I can't say what he does now, but the Shangri La album was sort of a hybrid process, so to speak. You'd have to talk to Chuck to get the complete details. What a lot of guys do is record to tape, but the signal from the tape machine goes right to Pro Tools, so you have the tape saturation, but you're not scuffing the tape over and over again. In the old days, by the time you got to mixing, every time you roll the tape over the heads you're losing high end, which is why they invented equalizers.
So with the new technology, which has become pretty damn amazing, you run a microphone output, or guitar, or whatever it is, through the tape machine, record it and take the output of that tape machine to Pro Tools so you have the first pass across the tape head recorded permanently in its pristine quality. In the old days of doing a recording, every time you did an overdub or fast-forward or play or rewind, you'd wear the tape down just a little bit. A lot of times the rough mixes of songs had more sonic punch than the finished mix because there was more information left on the tape. It was an interesting conundrum.
As we speak about technology and correction, some singers may think, Why go to a voice teacher when everything can be fixed with Auto Tune and pitch correction? Does this upset you?
It does when I listen to untalented people do things that sound amazingly similar to actual singing. Every step of the way, new technology comes on to the scene and we don't really know what to do with it. It hasn't really sifted down into, "Here's where that belongs." It's different for everyone who uses that stuff. I happen to like using Melodyne to create background vocals when I'm working alone. It saves me the time of having to pull out pencil and paper and writing them. Now I can actually hear what they sound like. I can play them for singers and say, "Sing that," so that's a cool use of technology for me.
As an effect, you never know. You might come up with something that has a new sound, but that's not really my thing. To replace actual singing in tune and on time with pitch correction and that kind of stuff is a bit disrespectful to singers who have put a lot of time and effort into learning how to do those things as a matter of technique. I've been in sessions where a really well-known producer spent all day getting a drum sound, spent all day with a famous studio guitarist, kissing his ass and making him happy and making sure that the parts are right and the cappuccino is warm. Then he put the singer in the booth, took one pass and said, "Yeah, honey, that was just great." I heard myself think out loud, "That was horrible!" But time being money, he was probably thinking, "Yeah, but I got the words. It's close enough, I can fix it all." Jesus, what's going on here? If I were a singer, I'd want to take another crack at it. Wouldn't you?
You take the time to produce and craft this, only to know that people are listening on earbuds and phones.
It's got to come back around. Van Halen put out a vinyl edition of one of their tracks — you can't listen to that unless you have a record player, which has a whole different frequency response than listening to a laser reading a hard drive. Somewhere along the line, someone is going to listen to a needle riding a groove, which has to be played on analog stuff, which many people say draws a different response from human beings.
There are studies about music therapy indicating that there's a difference between how people respond physically to CDs as opposed to LPs. Who knows how meaningful that is, but there is a difference. Which one you prefer is another question. I don't believe that all old things are better than all new things. I think you have to take it on a case by case basis. Use what works for you, and learn how to make it do what you want it to do, rather than just float around in a wave of technology, pushing buttons to see what happens.

IOW, what /specifically/ was the generated statement?
In this case I think you're right.
for the label statement, And QSYS2.SYSTABLES.TABLE_TEXT does not.
Likely both features look the same place for the text; i.e. within the *FILE object. The latter however, *looked* [past-tense emphasize] sometime in the past when the file was created or changed or when the DBXREF catalog data was last refreshed, such that the data was stored in the row; the data is not retrieved from the object dynamically when the catalog is queried. The former would look at the *FILE on disk, thus dynamically retrieving the data from the object.
I tried to allude to the possibility that the TABLE_TEXT not being visible in the catalogs may have an origin in a defect; that the correction was to re-apply the label [I suggested using LABEL ON TABLE, but CHGPF TEXT() should effect the same, and what is the effect of CHGOBJD TEXT() I do not recall, but IIRC the /Librarian/ feature [that maintains the OIR of the generic object-types] invokes the Database [as object handler] when the OBJTYPE(*FILE) Object Type is of the Database File (DBF) specific variety of *FILE in order that the Database can do any /extra/ processing such as notify the DBXREF that the file TEXT attribute has changed. Thus the effect of each should be similarly reflected in the catalogs.
abstraction of IBM i objects.
These files were in fact created with DDS.
The TEXT() specified on the Create Physical File (CRTPF) would have established the historical TEXT, and should have established an Object Information Record (OIR) TEXT() attribute to match. The catalog should have reflected the value near immediately [in the DBXTXT field of the QADBXREF file] in an asynchronous operation as applied from a dequeued entry taken from the QDBXREFQ in the QDBSRVXR job, If the value of the DBXTXT is reflective of neither the TEXT() stored in the *FILE itself or the TEXT() stored in the OIR [associated with the *LIB object in which the file is located], then that is clearly a defect.
Quite possible the old DDS file could have been tracked to the catalogs long ago, but when the label was applied, there was a defect that existed but since no longer exists; or that the label was obtained as an effect of a refresh of the *DBXREF data and there was a defect whereby the proper label was not reflected properly in the catalog but that defect no longer exists.
A duplicate of the file may or may not exhibit the same issue; if so, then probably a current defect is the origin, and if not, then the re-registration of the label for that DDS-created file should rectify the issue. Or the DDS-created file could be moved into an alternate library and then moved back; that may effect a total refresh of the catalog reflection of just that file, though there is a small possibility the effect is just an update to the key value [i.e. the reflection of the library name] in the catalogs, but if there is a refresh and the DBXTXT is updated, the effect of the operation will be conspicuous. And of course there are the *DBXREF refresh techniques; e.g. RCLSTG SELECT(*DBXREF) or RCLDBXREF to /reclaim/ [aka refresh] the data for the system\ASP or just for a library.
