St. Lawrence String Quartet - Haydn, Adams & Dvorak - 01/23/15
Haydn: String Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 33, No. 2, H.III: 38 (The Joke)
Adams: Second Quartet
Dvorak: String Quartet No. 11 in C Major, Op. 61
After one year of absence, last Friday I finally made it back to my old home turf of Washington, DC for a long weekend of catching up with old friends, visiting free museums, eating and drinking at favorite hang-outs and, last but not least, attending a chamber music concert at the Library of Congress' cozy and acoustically blessed Coolidge Auditorium, where I spent many enchanted evenings when I conveniently lived in its backyard.
As luck would have it, on Friday the renowned St. Lawrence String Quartet was there performing a set that included, among other goodies, the DC premiere of John Adams' Second Quartet, after first having performed the world premiere of it the weekend before at their home of Stanford University to celebrate their 25th birthday. That being said, the unstoppable ensemble is just as keen to handle more traditional composers such as Haydn, with his respectable yet whimsical Op. 33, and Dvorak, with his endlessly melodic Op. 61.
The program was in fact so appealing that my friend Jennifer and I did not even mind the rain that was mercilessly pouring on us during our short walks sans umbrellas from her place to the Jefferson Building and back.
Never mind the grim weather, the Coolidge Auditorium was packed and the audience more than ready for the entertaining light-heartedness of Haydn's "Joke". Not one to waste time with flashy and unnecessary effects, the ingenious composer instead keeps the mood joyful and the writing complex all the way to the comically suspenseful ending. The musicians played with detailed precision while discreetly emphasizing all the unexpected twists and turns of the clever work, eventually prompting a couple of hearty rounds of applause, and more than a few chuckles, from the delighted audience. There is no doubt about it, Papa was a jokester too.
If Haydn's opening act was fun and gratifying, the real highlight of the evening for me was John Adams' latest quartet with the man himself in attendance to introduce it. After jokingly pointing out that he always felt at home on that particular stage - Coolidge being his middle name - he added that he could not have found better partners-in-chamber-music than his long-time collaborators and friends of the St. Lawrence String Quartet, who had already premiered his first quartet at that same location in 2009. We quickly realized that those were not empty words as we were listening to their handling of the Beethoven-inspired but definitely Adams-created tumultuous roller-coaster, whose immediately noticeable feature was its insistent, unstoppable pulse, which by the way did not prevent an attractive tapestry of sounds from being crafted around it. The second movement of the two had a wider range, from resolutely minimalist to downright lyrical, but never completely released the tension even during the quieter moments, which resulted in a truly exciting virtuosic feast.
After Adams' brazenly modern quartet, we went back to the Viennese Classical style with Dvorak's Op. 61. This is a nice big quartet that continuously overflows with colorful melodies, upbeat rhythms and an overall happy mood. The St. Lawrence String Quartet performed it with assurance, warmth and brio.
Our genuinely enthusiastic ovation earned us a last Haydn treat for the road with a serenely beautiful slow movement of one of his Op. 20 works. Then it was back out in the dark, cold and wet reality, with nevertheless a totally psyched up state of mind about the concert that had just ended and the weekend that had just started.

Interview with Soulful Band, Swimming With Bears, on New Music and Upcoming Bourbon & Beyond Festival Performance
The second annual Bourbon & Beyond festival makes its anticipated return to Louisville's Champions Park on Sept. 22 and 23 blending Bourbon, food and rock legends.
Sting and Robert Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters, as well as superstars John Mayer, Lenny Kravitz, Counting Crows, David Byrne and Sheryl Crow will lead the music lineup of more than 30 artists. We had the opportunity to talk with Swimming With Bears, Joe Perry (vocals/bass), ahead of the two-day fest. They will be performing on Saturday.
Thanks for talking with us! What are you looking forward to most playing the Bourbon and Beyond Festival?
I look forward to playing in front of all the amped up music fans at the festival! There is no better high than playing in an atmosphere like the one at Bourbon and Beyond and feeling the raw energy of music and hyped fans! Second would be the bourbon of course!
Have you ever been to Louisville before?
We have driven through the city before while on tour but never actually got the chance to hangout there! I'm super psyched to finally be visiting Louisville and I'm trying my best to pronounce Louisville like the natives.
There is quite a lineup this year!. Do you plan on catching any shows while at the festival?
Of course! The two shows I really want to catch is Sting on Sunday who was a big influence on my playing style while growing up and second is John Mayer on Saturday. Third on my list is Sheryl Crow, my mom really wants her autograph.
Tell us about your new EP. Why did you choose to self-title it?
I think we self-titled it because mostly that is tradition within the music world to self-title your first release. The EP itself was a catalyst for us to start solidifying our sound as a band and was a big stepping point for us once completed. We will be including some of our songs from the EP in our set as well as newer songs that we've created since then.
How did you know when you had the right songs for it?
We'll know when we know haha. But it really comes down to sitting as a group and taking all the songs created within a certain time frame and deciding which ones are worth releasing on an album.
Is there a specific track off the album that you're most excited for fans to hear at the festival?
French Girls! French Girls! French Girls! It's our newest single and by far the flagship as of current of the unique sound in which our band has.
How did being in Texas influence this EP or play a part in your creative process?
Of course! Being all Texans we want our sound to command the stage in a BIG way, but when it comes to musical styles, Texas has definitely influenced us. In Texas the music scene there growing up was hip hop, rock classics, Motown classics, and country. Weird mix to be introduced to as a kid, but it definitely helped the bands' ear in creating our own sound.
Are fans going to be able to meet and talk with you during the festival?
Yes! We'll be by our Texas flag waiting to say hello to everyone there!
Since we will be hanging out in bourbon country, do you have a favorite or one you look forward to trying?
I'm actually really excited to taste some bourbon, I never have had an opportunity to drink the best bourbon in the world, (don't tell my mom).
Do you have a favorite Southern food?
Fried Chicken will always be king, then fried pickles close behind!
What about favorite festival food or favorite food that is deep fried?
Fried chicken and fried pickles
What's on your personal playlist right now? Anything essential fans should know about?
On my personal playlist I have "15 Steps" by Radiohead as well as some "Give it up and Turn it Loose" jungle remix by James Brown followed up by "Stylo" by the Gorillaz.
What might our readers be surprised to learn about you?
I started out on the flute and played it like a champ throughout middle school and high school, but I eventually gave it up for the bass guitar to the complains of my parents but I explained to them the bass was a better look.
Finally, if you could be sponsored by one food/drink brand who would it be and why?
Whataburger would pretty awesome to get sponsored by, just cause their food is freaking awesome and they're as Texas as Texas gets. And shiner bock would be the drink brand for sure, gotta love the best beer in Texas!

Bourbon & Beyond, presented by Danny Wimmer Presents, is an annual celebration of the craftsmanship behind award-winning Bourbons, master distillers, legendary musicians, world-class chefs, and an unforgettable showcase of the soul and spirit of Louisville, held during Bourbon Heritage Month. In its inaugural year in 2017, the festival attracted 50,000 people from all over the country, offering a series of on-site experiences, including Bourbon and culinary workshops.
The festival's centerpiece, the Big Bourbon Bar, will feature more than two dozen Bourbons selected by best-selling author and renowned Bourbon authority Fred Minnick, Bourbon & Beyond's official Bourbon curator. The Big Bourbon Bar will also be the site of a Bluegrass stage featuring performances by The Travelin' McCourys, Billy Strings, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Ben Sollee, River Whyless and Lindsay Lou.
Acclaimed Louisville whiskey bar The Silver Dollar will operate The Hunter's Club, where attendees can find vintage Bourbons dating as far back as the 1930s, as well as contemporary collectibles — which last year included more than 50 rarities.
Louisville's thriving food scene, as recognized by "Top Chef," which will be filming its upcoming 16th season in the city, will also be spotlighted at the festival. Tom Colicchio ("Top Chef" head judge) and Edward Lee ("The Mind of a Chef"), along with culinary stars Stephanie Izard, Aaron Sanchez, Ray Garcia and Louisville's Damaris Phillips will lead the lineup of more than 20 chefs.

Q: Box.com OAuth - Increasing Expiry Time For App User I'm hoping if someone with Box OAuth experience might be able to answer my question about creating an Application User for Box.com. This is different from the Box Integration but the Box Platform (creating a user itself that can login to your Box supported app).
See here: Box - Authentication Types & Security
I'm not having any issues going thru the process of creating the Enterprise Token or the App User Token, however it seems the maximum expiry time of this token is limited to ~60 minutes or so.
body:
   { access_token: 'XXXXXXX',
     expires_in: 3817,
     restricted_to: [],
     token_type: 'bearer' } }

If I try to adjust the expiry (exp) time within the claims of the JWT Assertion any higher I receive a:
  body:
  { error: 'invalid_grant',
    error_description: 'Please check the \'exp\' claim.' } }

My question is if this expiry can be adjusted at all? Or is this limited to an hour of expiry time?
Thanks!
T

A: The expiration time for both the Enterprise Token and the App User Token cannot be changed. The expiration time is set to one hour.

Performers gain moral rights
Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 amended
The Performances (Moral Rights, etc) Regulations 2006 come into force tomorrow, giving performers the right to be identified and the right to object to the derogatory treatment of their performances for the first time.
The new rights are closely modelled on the existing moral rights of authors and directors. A new section 205C of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 provides, essentially, that when a performance is given in public or broadcast live, or a sound recording (but not a video recording) of the performance is communicated or issued to the public, then the performer has a right to be identified. The exclusion of video recordings from the scope of the new right has been criticised by performers' organisations.
There is considerable flexibility about how the right can be satisfied. For example, it is specifically stated that the right could be satisfied for live performances by identification of the performer in a programme and for copies of a recording of a performance issued to the public by identification in or on the copies. For a live performance, it is the person who organises or promotes the performance who will have to give effect to the right to be identified.
There is no general right for individuals to be identified individually where the performance is by a group (two or more performers known by a particular collective name). An exception to this is in the case of sound recordings, unless it is not reasonably practicable to to identify each member of the group.
However, new section 205D requires that the right to be identified must be asserted, in a similar manner to the rights of authors and directors (s.78 of the CDPA).
The right to object to derogatory treatment is established (s.205F). This right is infringed if the performance is broadcast with modifications prejudicial to the performer's reputation or if a sound recording of the performance is played, communicated or issued to the public with such modifications. This right applies to all performers individually and there is no separate provision for groups.
Exceptions to the right to object to derogatory treatment are provided for in new section 205G, and include performances for the purpose of reporting current events and modifications consistent with normal editorial or production practice.
The provision of moral rights for performers is required under the 1996 WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty.

Heck, why is it so hard to locate art events in Houston?
Eventful's Houston page seems to want to be "more meta" than the other event aggregators. Apparently, some of their events are being syndicated onto upcoming.org, which might mean upcoming.org is no longer a big deal. Check Books/Literature and Performing Arts (not to mention several other categories). What I like best: the ability to display up to 50 events per page, and the ability to show events within a 7 day or 30 day period. Terrific!
Upcoming.org has a good interface and backing by yahoo, but it seems buggy and not as easy to use. Also, it has an RSS feed. However, since eventful.com now lets you submit your eventful event to upcoming as well, I suspect most people will start migrating to eventful.
Spacetaker.org has an incredible listing of Houston events. They have categories for Readings, Theater,Seminars, Lectures, Repertory Film . Excellent things: nonprofit groups can submit their events for free! Also, you can download the ical event to Outlook. Not-so-excellent: no RSS feeds, and too many categories to browse through. This calendar was probably cool when it came out, but newer websites are cooler; also, the web server sometimes can be slow. Still, I've generally discovered some great things on spacetaker I haven't find anywhere else.
Artshound is a similar concept to Spacetaker, and in many ways superior, but it is less Houston-specific but a generic event site with subsections devoted to individual cities. Also, artshound seems to focus a little bit too much on Big Arts groups (in contrast to Spacetaker). Check out categories for Poetry/Literature, Performing Arts, Visual Arts , International/Cultural Events, Kids & Families. Also, look for their listing of free events.
BusyTonight.com has a Houston event listing which you can browse by category. Still looks buggy, but it lets you do RSS feeds by categories and keywords. Also, it lets you view available for the weekend (not just a single day). Not great now, but has potential.
the Handstamp weblog (maintained by two Chronicle writers about the Houston music scene) follows upcoming concerts pretty well. RSS feed and now a podcast apparently.
Done Waiting's Houston Calling has always provided reliable (and exhaustive) coverage of bands local and touring. RSS feed.
Houstonist has a section devoted to Arts & Events with a pretty good culling of arts (mostly music events). The Houstonist has a general RSS feed, but not one specific to the events category.
Live Music: Can't/won't list everything here except my favorites. Mucky Duck, Continental Club, Unitunes Coffeehouse, JP Hops., Anderson Fair. All of these have wretched web pages for their events page. You can't bookmark them because of java script or frames; and the calendar page requires another click to get to the actual events. Still, great venues for Houston.
Houseconcerts : I know house concerts are taking place in the Houston area, but it's next to impossible to find out about them. Here's a listing of Houston house concerts (by venue/organizer,not date).
Houston Press has a small but idiosyncratic selection of events.
Houston Chronicle has a calendar listing of events which is completely unusable.
KPFT Events Calendar (mediocre interface, but good listing of classes/workshops/civic kind of events). KUHF Arts Calendar (mostly repeats of events published elsewhere, but some UH-specific events).
Craigslist also has a free event calendar for Houston, but it only shows one day at a time. Also, because it's Craig's List, you will find lots of "free sales seminars!" and random lodge meetings. Meetup.com also has a listing of Houston meetups.
the Houston Institute for Culture calendar lists not only arts events but some cultural workshops. The SWAMP calendar also lists workshops related to audio and video production as well as special events in film/video.
FYI – Regarding the Aurora Picture Show website, there is a "next" button on each calendar page that takes you to the next month of listings…..
Check out TheaterPort.com for tons of performing arts news feeds for HOUSTON. In their Syndicate section as well as all their forum topics. 6 Years strong.

Dead Man's Cards
11th Feb 2010 - 7:30pm
Dead Man's Cards (James Marquand, 2006) will be screened on Thursday 11th February 2010 at 7:30pm in the Studio Theatre. The film is an 18 certificate.
Tom (James McMartin –My Kingdom) is a former amateur boxing champion whose gut is now bigger than his right hook. Down on his luck and out of work he gets a job as a doorman through Paul (Paul Barber – The Full Monty), an ex-squaddie he meets at the local gym. Paul introduces him to the seedy world he's joined as they man the door at a divey club. Run by "Billy the Cowboy" (Tom Bell – Prime Suspect), the place is full of people spoiling for a fight. Strong performances tease out a gripping story of loyalty and professionalism on the back streets of Liverpool, this low-budget thriller has a ragged, authentic feel, which it laces into a western-themed story of two men standing up to gun-toting villains.
Running Time: 110 minutes
Tickets: £3 / £2.50 conc. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. However, tickets can be reserved in advance by calling 01695 584480.

Washington: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has commended the Indian Diaspora for distinguishing itself across the world, as he received an enthusiastic welcome from the community on his arrival here on a major visit to further enhance Indo-US relations.
Modi was warmly greeted by groups of Indian-Americans at the airport soon after his plane landed here on Wednesday and later at the hotel where he had an interaction with the members of the community.
"Grateful to the Indian community in Washington DC for the warm welcome. Our diaspora is our strength," Modi said in a tweet along with a set of pictures of his interaction with Indian-American CEOs.
"It is commendable how the Indian diaspora has distinguished itself across the world," Modi said.
One of the signature events of Prime Minister Modi's overseas visits has been his meetings with the diaspora community in large gatherings.
However, due to the current COVID-19 situation, the prime minister is unlikely to have a large gathering or meeting with the diaspora.
Modi has been popular among Indian-Americans, who constitute more than 1.2 per cent of the country's population.
The community is increasingly playing an important role, including in American politics.
Modi, who is visiting the US for the 7th time after assuming office in 2014, has said that his visit would be an occasion to strengthen the Indo-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership and consolidate ties with Japan and Australia.
Apart from meeting US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, Modi is also scheduled to have separate bilateral talks with his Australian counterpart Scott Morrison and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.

The Kansas Jayhawks are one of the multiple teams included in the FBI's ongoing investigation into college basketball, and it appears this will have an immediate impact on the teams future. Aside from the potential of having to vacate wins including last season's tournament run and conference championship, the Jayhawks may now be losing former 4-star recruit Silvio De Sousa for the upcoming season due to recent findings in articles released from the investigation.
De Sousa appeared in 20 games for the Jayhawks coming off of the bench and averaging 4 pts and just under 4 rebounds per game. However, recent findings show that after an unnamed player committed to play for Kansas on August 30, 2017, Adidas executive Jim Gatto would have to pay said player's legal guardian a sum of $20,000 to help "get out from under" a deal with another school sponsored by an Adidas rival.
De Sousa was the only recorded player to commit to Kansas on that date which puts forth clear implications that he could be the player involved in this transaction. While he himself is not on trial, the outcome of an ongoing federal trial in New York could deem him ineligible to play this season for Kansas.
With De Sousa's future still in question, the Jayhawks have their first exhibition game scheduled for October 25 and will be kicking off their regular season on November 6 against Michigan State.


Another good hike this afternoon at Stub Stewart State Park.
When I looked up, I was standing in the exact spot where they took and dropped the snapshot. That was a fun little loop to be standing inside of.
Tomorrow we're going to go for the longer (black diamond, even!) hike. We'll try to get an earlier start so it's not so dang hot while we're climbing those hills.

Why private schools have a moral duty not to support government schools
According to Anthony Seldon, head of Wellington College, Berkshire, fee-paying private schools have a "moral duty" to help run failing government schools in deprived areas. However private schools are right to question the wisdom of this approach.
First, it is important to remember that the government initially intervened in education in the late 19th century to help support the growth and development of education in deprived areas. However, instead of subsidizing parents and allowing them to choose between a variety of different schools, previous governments directed all public subsidies towards its own free schools, whilst neglecting and ignoring all private alternatives. This subsequently forced the closure of thousands of private and voluntary schools leaving only a small number of private schools to cater for families on a higher income.
As a result, instead of focusing on the development of education in deprived areas, the government soon found itself attempting to manage and control the vast majority of schools serving both rich and poor alike. Unfortunately, any system of education which restricts the freedom of parents to choose will hit those on low incomes the hardest. While better off families can either move to the suburbs in search of a better school or purchase private tuition, those on low incomes who live in deprived areas are forced to accept their local government school, irrespective of how it performs. Government intervention has therefore had the opposite effect from the one that was originally intended.
However, after forcing the vast majority of private and voluntary schools out of business and after creating a system of education which restricts parents' right to choose and penalises those families living in deprived areas, the government now attempts to blame the remaining private schools for all of the problems which they themselves have just created. And to put things right the guilty private schools must now give a helping hand to the failing government schools which they have helped to create. However, let's be clear – all apartheid, social division and barriers in education are a direct result of the way in which all previous governments have directed public funds to government schools only, thereby denying parents their fundamental right to choose and eventually crowding out the majority of private alternatives.
Second, to suggest that Eton can help to transform a failing inner city comprehensive government school is to completely misunderstand the nature of the problem. First, I suspect that the knowledge and experience required to educate children who live in deprived areas is slightly different from the knowledge and experience required to educate children who attend Eton. Therefore as Eton will have very little if any knowledge or experience of educating children who live in deprived areas, it is difficult to see what they can bring to the table. Second, all failing (or coasting) government schools located in deprived areas exist because of the way in which all previous governments have directed public funds to government schools only, thereby denying parents their fundamental right to choose and eventually crowding out the majority of private alternatives. It should therefore be blatantly obvious that the only way to solve this problem is for the government to change the way they fund education by creating a level playing field, giving all schools an equal opportunity and by directing all public funds to parents.
Third, by lending their support to failing government schools, private schools will help to prolong the life of a stagnant and immoral government system, which restricts the fundamental right of parents to choose and restricts the freedom of a variety of different organisations to invest and compete in the delivery of children's schooling. Private schools therefore have a moral duty not to support failing government schools.
Fourth, during the period in which the government proceeded to distort, disrupt and completely undermine the natural growth and development of education in the UK, the private schools that survived have simply gone about their business, doing what they do best, which is providing a unique educational experience to those parents who can afford to purchase it. Therefore to accuse these schools of perpetuating social division, suggests that freedom in education will make those who receive this education better off, only at the expense of those who don't receive it who will end up worse off. However, one of the key reasons to justify government subsidies in education is because education has some public good qualities, in that the education received by some children will not only benefit these particular children but will also benefit the wider public, who can enjoy the benefits of living in a more educated and civilised society. The better education that one child receives can therefore only be a good thing for the child concerned and for the rest of society.
That said, if Wellington College want to help transform a failing government school then as a private and independent organisation, they are perfectly free to do so. However, attempting to claim the moral high ground by undertaking such an act is a different matter altogether and one that fails to take into account the reason why these schools are failing in the first place and the desperate need for the government to change the way it subsidises and intervenes in education. Therefore, if private schools want to help improve education in deprived areas, they could do much more good by lobbying the government and promoting a change in policy.
In the meantime, if some government schools want to benefit from receiving a service from a local private school then they should be prepared to pay for it. In education, as elsewhere, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

I have an announcement to make that will most likely catch a great number of you by surprise. I have accepted a position with one of my longstanding clients and effective October 15, 2001, I will be joining a financial planning team at American Express Financial Advisors. (I'm not sure if it is a bigger surprise that I am taking that job or that I have been able to keep it a secret from all but the 500 or so people whose advice I have sought?) In any case, this 54th issue will be the swan song (is that an expression?) for "For What It's Worth," at least, under the current Brounes & Associates affiliation (more about that later).
As you can imagine, this has been a very difficult decision for me. (Just a few months ago, deciding what to eat for lunch was among my biggest dilemmas.) Any change is hard, especially a change during this time of uncertainty and market turmoil (more about that later). But the clincher that made the decision so much easier is that I will have the opportunity to work with two consummate professionals, Scott Tiras and Darrell Pennington. Their hard work and efforts have enabled them to build the top American Express financial planning practice in Texas (based on assets under management) and among the top 6 throughout the entire organization of about 12,000 planners. Tiras and Pennington have effectively created a "firm within a firm" (under the American Express umbrella) that includes several experienced analysts and administrative personnel. Like me, they both have advanced business degrees and professional designations.
I have worked on numerous projects with these individuals through the years and have always been extremely impressed by their knowledge of the business, their tremendous work ethic, and, most importantly, their care and concern for their clients (of which I have been one for many years). My position within the group will be "Director of Strategic Marketing." On a day-to-day basis, I will be working to enhance their already strong marketing efforts and their new client development. I will also be assuming an active role in the financial planning process.
COULD THE TIMING BE ANY WORSE???
While most of my "counselors" have agreed that this is a great opportunity, some expressed concern about the timing of the move, especially given the current market conditions. After all, stocks have been under pressure for the past year and a half and the tragic acts of September 11 brought even greater uncertainty to the economy and the markets. In reality, I believe that the timing is exactly right. I believe the role of the financial planner has never been more important than it is today. Yesterday, there were a lot of do-it-yourselfers out there, individuals who traded the markets on their own, many with great success. They used online services and conducted much of their own research. They sought that "hot stock tip of the day" and built up substantial portfolios during the strong bullish times. In periods of uncertainty, however, fewer individuals are choosing to go at it alone and are seeking the advice of an experienced planner.
Tiras and Pennington have built a successful practice by offering a comprehensive financial planning process that includes far more than just the investment aspects. While excellent returns have always been a priority, investments are just one part of the plan which also involves cash flow analysis, risk management (insurance), education planning, tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning. Today, given all the uncertainties in the markets (and the world, for that matter), these comprehensive services are more important than ever. Their practice has developed numerous relationships with corporations which offer personal financial planning as a key benefit for their employees. By making such services available, these organizations allow their employees to focus on their important financial and retirement needs by working individually with an experienced, knowledgeable planner. From the company's (clients) standpoint, providing such benefits has proven crucial for employee retention and morale.
WHAT DOES A MERE "WRITER" ADD TO THEIR PRACTICE?
While many of you may know me only from my Brounes & Associates (and FWIW) days, I had a professional career that existed before this one. Once upon a time, I was a CPA at a Big Eight accounting firm who later earned an MBA before embarking on about a 10 year investment career. I served as a trader and securities analyst and delivered numerous presentations about the economy and market conditions to various audiences. My consulting firm has long targeted businesses in the financial services sector, where my background and experiences have proven most beneficial.
While I truly enjoyed the Brounes & Associates experiences, I long suspected that I would eventually return to the investment field when the right situation presented itself. I can honestly say that this position looks to be a perfect fit for me. I have the utmost respect for the practice that Tiras and Pennington have built, particularly their strong commitments to their clients. I am eager to put my past financial and economic background back to work on a daily basis, while also incorporating the marketing skills I have developed over the past few years. I also welcome the chance to work with and learn from these successful individuals and their team of professionals and to help serve their growing client base.
Something else you may be asking… "So what becomes of your monthly newsletter?" (At least, I hope some of you are asking that.) In truth, this newsletter has become my favorite task at Brounes and Associates for the past four and a half years. More than a marketing/networking piece, it has become an opportunity to stay in touch with friends, family, business associates (past and present) who I do not have the chance to speak with as often as I would like. I take great satisfaction from comments I have received from past issues and always looked forward to discussing my musings (and even my serious thoughts) with many of my readers.
For now, I am planning to continue writing "For What It's Worth," at least on a periodic basis. I feel it has become part of my identity and I do not wish to cease these open lines of communications with you at this time. From a company compliance standpoint, I will refrain from writing about certain business topics, but plan to pass along to you the anecdotes of my life experiences and even my thoughts about certain timely issues of the day. (When Eunice comes along, I want you to be the first to know.) As always, your feedback is not only welcome but encouraged. You may find some new twists or even a guest commentator in future issues.
For now, I want to thank each and every one of my clients and associates who I have had the pleasure of working with over the past few years. Few people can honestly say that their jobs are a lot of fun; I happen to be one of the lucky few. Sometimes, however, an offer comes along that simply "cannot be refused." I look forward to staying in touch and to perhaps working with you in my new capacity in the years to come.

All those who help provide the support we need to be awarded projects and execute them are our partners. They reflect the diversity of our spheres and areas of activity.
Our first partner, naturally, is the French legal community, which we enlist for purposes of our activities. This specific quality also leads us to work with other agencies, domestic or foreign, with complementary skills.
In France, our primary partners are our members.
the National School of Judicial Protection of Youth (ENPJJ).
and the National Association of Honorary Magistrates (ANAMHO).
To this non-exhaustive list should be added the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and the General Secretariat for European Affairs, under the authority of the Prime Minister. JCI maintains close relations with these bodies because although they are not actors in the Justice system, they are nonetheless full participants in the definition of a French and European policy for legal cooperation.
JCI has the capacity to participate not only in "justice only" projects but also in bi- or multi-disciplinary projects with a justice component. We thus maintain relations with French public agencies whose expertise covers domains that are complementary to ours.
Initially informally federated in an "Alliance," in 2015 these public agencies adopted a charter of good practice and fair competition. The signatories have pledged to work together to develop French expertise and increase its visibility.
Parallel to this, the law of 7 July 2014 on orientation and programming for international aid and development policy changed France's international cooperation landscape, ordering the creation of a French bureau to bring together all French public agencies. The result of the merger of six agencies (including France Expertise Internationale, an agency of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and ADETEF, an agency of the Ministries for Finance, the Budget and Sustainable Development), this bureau, named "Expertise France," was established on 1st January 2015.
Alongside this, several agencies specialising in specific fields of competence, also known as "professional agencies," have retained their independence: JCI, CIVIPOL, ADECIA, CFI, FVI, CIEP, SFERE, as well as the ENA and ENM (the latter serve as their own operators for specific projects).
through our participation in large multidisciplinary projects that Expertise France is able to attract via the delegated loan management procedure, for which only Expertise France and AFD are accredited in France. One or the other will then resort by subdelegation to a specialised operator, competent to carry out the part assigned to it. The operator can thus take part in a project that would otherwise be inaccessible to it, and Expertise France can gain expert professional support through the partnership.
Since November 2018, JCI, Expertise France and the Ministry of Justice have signed a convention on the reform of international technical expertise. This agreement allows the division of activities between EF and JCI. This is a consensus, the common goal of stakeholders is to recognize the expertise of France abroad.
or by entrusting us with the "technical assistance" component of substantial real estate projects such as the construction of courthouses or prison facilities.
We also bid on invitations to tender from AFD.
In terms of our partnerships with "professional" agencies, we have for example partnered with CIVIPOL for projects combining the themes of "justice" and "security," and with SFERE for a project with "justice" and "educational engineering" components.
Our international partners are essentially agencies of other States with which JCI may establish consortia to present its candidature for projects, and if successful to execute such projects whether as a leader or partner in such consortia.
At present, these partners are essentially the German agencies GIZ – a general-purpose agency – and IRZ – JCI's equivalent within the German Federal Ministry [for Justice] -, CILC in the Netherlands, the Spanish agencies FIIAPP and AECID, and Italy's High Council of the Judiciary, bearing in mind that Italy has no such dedicated public agency.
More broadly, JCI maintains ties as well, amongst others, with the French Embassies and Delegations of the European Union to the countries where its projects are located but also the agencies of the AFD and the World Bank.

Are there any crocus bulbs that are poisonous to humans?
Is it OK to eat the leaves of Crocus?
The only Crocus species world famous as regards human consumption, is Saffron Crocus, Crocus sativus. Ironically, this highly esteemed spice and dye plant is also poisonous if too much is ingested.
Is Crocus sativus poisonous? Crocus sativus can be toxic.
One blooms in the spring (Crocus sp.), and one blooms in the fall (Colchicum Autumnale), but they are both toxic. The spring Crocus may cause gastrointestinal upset like vomiting, diarrhea and drooling if any part of the plant is ingested.
The spring crocus is part of the Iridaceae family, and like its autumn relative, can still be severely toxic for pets. Symptoms include diarrhoea, perhaps with blood, drooling and vomiting. Extreme cases can cause numerous problems including seizures and organ damage, or even death.
The Autumn Crocus, also known as Meadow Saffron or Naked Lady, is highly toxic and can cause severe gastrointestinal signs (e.g., drooling, vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, bloody diarrhea, etc.), liver and kidney damage, respiratory failure, central nervous system signs (e.g., seizures), and even death.
The flower petals and sitgmas are the parts of the Saffron crocus used for culinary purposes. The orange-red stigmas produce the spice, saffron, and make a yellow dye when steeped. True saffron flavor has been described as bitter, yet savory.
Saffron is harvested from the saffron crocus, scientific name Crocus sativus. This is a different plant entirely from the autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale), also known somewhat confusingly as meadow saffron.
Some of these plants are also known as 'meadow saffron', which is really unfortunate as these autumn 'crocus' are toxic. But crocus sativus, the true saffron crocus, is perfectly safe. So if you're going to harvest saffron, specifically purchase and grow only that specific bulb and no other fall blooming types.
Crocus. Both types of crocus plant — the spring crocus and the autumn crocus — are dangerous to pets. The spring crocus can cause gastrointestinal issues including vomiting and diarrhoea if ingested.
The hardy six-petalled, goblet-shaped flowers, spring up through thin grass like leaves from autumn to spring (depending on the variety). Most UK gardeners grow early spring flowering types, however, with careful selection crocus blooms can be grown almost in succession from September through to April.
Crocus poisoning is similar to arsenic poisoning, symptoms appear two to five hours after ingestion include burning in the mouth and throat, diarrhoea, stomach pain, vomiting, and kidney failure followed by death from respiratory failure.

Ironically, this highly esteemed spice and dye plant is also poisonous if too much is ingested. In respect to this, are crocus bulbs poisonous?
FBCP do not advise or recommend that Crocus is eaten or used as an herbal remedy. Autumn Crocus – Colchicum autumnale, is also known as Naked–ladies and Meadow Saffron, however it should be noted that it is not a Crocus or a Saffron, and should not be used for cooking as a replacement to Saffron because all parts of this plant are poisonous.

HomeGlossaryLetter JJoshua TreeLexicon
The Joshua Tree, Yucca brevifolia, is a member of the Agave family. Until recently, it was considered a giant member of the Lily family, but DNA studies led to the division of that formerly huge family into 40 distinct plant families. The Joshua tree is a monocot, in the subgroup of flowering plants that also includes grasses and orchids. The Joshua tree's life cycle begins with the rare germination of a seed, its survival dependent upon well-timed rains. Look for sprouts growing up from within the protective branches of a shrub. Young sprouts may grow several inches in the first five years, then slow down, averaging one-half inch per year thereafter. The tallest Joshua tree in the park looms a whopping forty feet high, a grand presence in the Queen Valley forest; it is estimated to be about 300 years old! These "trees" do not have growth rings like you would find in an oak or pine. This makes aging difficult, but you can divide the height of a Joshua tree by the average annual growth of one-half inch to get a rough estimate.The Joshua tree provides a good indicator that you are in the Mojave Desert, but you may also find it growing next to a saguaro cactus in the Sonoran Desert in western Arizona or mixed with pines in the San Bernardino Mountains. Joshua Trees were named by Mormon pioneers after the biblical figure Joshua, comparing their sprawling limbs to his outstretched arms, guiding their travels.

The vote happened last night for the house on Shell Beach Dr. in Lake Charles. Sizing of the streets, zoning, and safety were all concerns of the residents of the area. The mansion was speculated to be able to seat 150 people and also be a high-end event center as well.
Last night, the room was packed with people wearing black and red, the colors of the signs posted all along Shell Beach Dr. in protest of the new business. Residents claimed that there should not be a restaurant in a neighborhood area. The argument against that was that there are plenty of places like the location in question all around Lake Charles.
Although the decision is final, it has the possibility of being appealed and taken to the city council for a vote as well.

In the spirit of reaching out and making a positive contribution to the community, Rodrigo Islas and Mohammed Lekrama, both UPP full-time instructors, took part at the First National Ivoirian Spelling Bee Competition that was held at IPNETP, Abidjan, on Saturday, November 16, 2019.
More than 11 schools from Abidjan participated in a very competitive and exciting spelling tournament, in which 45 students were challenged in three different categories: Upper Primary, Juniors and Seniors. Mr. Islas has been advising the organizing committee and Mr. Lekrama acted as one of the judges during the sessions. In addition, the U.S. State Department English Language Fellow appointed to IUGB, Ms. Elaine Kerry, assisted with a donation of books and special invitations to the American Corner at the US Embassy.
Educational events such as these provide a unique opportunity for the Ivorian community to come together, promote the use of English, and boost the self-confidence of students. The first event had a successful turnout of almost 400 people, and the competition for next year is expected to include public schools and schools from outside Abidjan.

#2394 #S1206 - The Fenix, Seattle - 1/11/2014
The Fenix rises in Seattle for the 6th time, this one at
124 S. Washington, previous locale of the Last Supper Club
Update: This version of the Fenix closed sometime in June or July 2014.
This short-lived version in the former Last Supper Club space was the sixth incarnation of Rick Wyatt's Fenix club in Seattle, and not quite as epic as a couple of its predecessors. The one indelible memory I will retain of this one was watching the Seahawks win Super Bowl XLVIII there. So rather than recount the relatively unremarkable life of this one, I thought I'd take a quick look at Seattle Fenix history, and some of my visits there over the years.
As best I can reassemble it, the Fenix locations have been:
1992-1993 - The Fenix Cafe, 111 Yesler (subsequently the Bohemian, now Trinity)
1993-2001 - The Fenix Underground, 323 2nd Ave (formerly Hollywood Underground, below what is now 88 Keys)
1994-2001 - The Fenix Above Ground, 313/315 2nd Ave
2003-2006 - The New Fenix, 109 S. Washington (now Swannies)
2006-2007 - Fenix SoDo, 1700 1st Ave S. (previously Premier, now Showbox SoDo)
2014 - The Fenix, 124 S. Washington (previously Last Supper Club, now Box House Saloon)
Jubilant Seahawks fans celebrate Seattle's first Super Bowl win
at the Fenix, Feb 2, 2014
The Fenix Cafe was primarily a blues club, and some of the following versions were to some extent, although the styles of music and events exploded into any number of themes, from funk to rockabilly to goth industrial. Wyatt partnered with Mike Galloway, Mike Lagervall and John Corbett (who played the DJ on "Northern Exposure" and was a regular at the Fenix Cafe) to open the Fenix Underground in the basement space of the former Hollywood Underground, opening on New Year's Eve 1992 with Duffy Bishop and the Rhythm Dogs. A year later they took the ground level space next door and turned it into the Fenix Above Ground. These lasted until the building was severely damaged in the 2001 Nisqually earthquake.
Ambyr and friend, at the original Fenix in Seattle for the
Siouxsie Sioux show, May 10, 1999
These were a terrific place to see shows -- big enough to get some great international acts, but maintaining a very intimate feel, and pulsing with energy; for acts that I've seen several other places, the Fenix shows were almost always my favorites. Some of my best memories there were Einsturzende Neubauten, the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Siouxsie Sioux, Sky Cries Mary, the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, and the Genitorturers. Some other fine nights were the gothy events of fashion, music, and various vendors, such as the Christmas Balls or Bazaar Events. The Neubauten show in December 1998 was particularly meaningful to me. I had recently gone to see an event in Key Arena with several bands I liked, including Garbage and Hole, where I had been utterly, interminably bored. I was approaching 40 and despaired that perhaps rock music would just never be exciting to me again. So the Neubauten show was a thrilling revelation -- not only an electric show, but clarifying that it was not the music but rather the arena-sized venues that had lost me.
The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, Fenix Underground
After the disastrous earthquake, Wyatt and Lagervall re-opened the Fenix in another multi-level space in Pioneer Square in May 2003. Here too I have memories of many great shows and events, but my favorites were the "Moonday" nights -- costume balls on the Mondays closest to a full moon, each with a theme based on a color and/or a particular tarot card. A few of the many shows I enjoyed here were Hate Dept., Ministry, Hanzel und Gretyl, My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult, Go Like Hell, Betty X, Bozo Porno Circus, the Genitorturers, and Drag Strip Riot.
Bozo Porno Circus, at the New Fenix, May 26, 2003
I also saw several bands I liked at the SoDo location of the Fenix, but this was never the fun space that the others were, and to this day I wince a little when a band I like is booked for the big, boring, concrete floored rectangle that is now Showbox SoDo. Similarly, the abortive attempt to rise from the ashes in the much smaller space formerly occupied by the Last Supper Club didn't seem very distinguished or much of attraction to me -- though who knows what would have developed if it had live more than half a year. But over the years I've had many a memorable night at these clubs, and if the Fenix rises again, I'll be there.

[Dal'verzin; Dil'berdz̆in.]
Site in northern Afghanistan, 40 km north-west of Balkh, which flourished from the Achaemenid period (c. 6th century bc) to the Hephthalite invasion (c. 5th century ad). It was excavated by a Soviet-Afghan team in 1970–77; all finds are in the Kabul Museum.
The fortified town (383×393 m) is enclosed by mud-brick walls with rectangular bastions. There was a circular citadel in the centre, and at the north-east corner of the town a 2nd-century bc temple, perhaps to the Dioscuri, was excavated, which shows several phases of rebuilding. Only a fragment of a wall painting from the earliest period is extant, depicting two nude youths painted red leading white horses by the bridle. Above this are the fragmentary red legs of athletes. To the latest period belongs a polychrome wall painting depicting Shiva and Parvarti on a bull, flanked by two men with four worshippers below. In the main part of the temple a throne ornamented with sculpture was found....

[Rājgir, Rājagṛha]
Ancient capital of the kingdom of Magadha in Nalanda District, Bihar, India. Rajgir was a frequent resort of the Buddha and of Mahavira, the Jaina teacher (c. 5th century bc), and it is sacred to both religions. Its outer fortifications (c. 6th century bc) run for about 40 km over hilly terrain; this wide rubble rampart with projecting bastions is probably the earliest surviving stone monument in India. Within the walls is a citadel with earthen ramparts. Beyond the outer walls, to the north, are the remains of new Rajgir, laid out in an irregular square, possibly by King Ajatashatru (c. 491–459 bc).
While archaeological excavations have revealed much material, few ancient monuments have survived. The earliest are the two rock-cut Sonbhandar caves. These are similar in plan and elevation to the rock-cut sanctuaries in the Barabar Hills (3rd century bc; see Barabar and Nagarjuni...

My barcode project was something I had been working on, conceptually, for over a year. It wasn't until the events of 2010 that I started to imagine the shape and scale of the first painting and how I wanted it to seem to have a presence, (they all are very large, 3 feet by 6 feet long). Once it all came together, No. 1 was created rather quickly, almost violently.
At that point, I felt the story was not over, and explored the shape further, in the rest that followed. The story is not over, however, and I am now working on No. 5, which will debut later this spring. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did making them.
For my first painting, I wanted to express the numbers as dates. No. 1 deals specifically with the dates of the Citizens United vs. FCC Supreme Court case earlier in the year and the Deepwater Horizon Explosion that which started the Gulf Oil Spill, respectively. Looking at these two seemingly unrelated events, I started to learn more about how our government is influenced with corporate money and how it affects our nation's ability to respond to disasters and to govern as a nation. In these two cases here, I felt that we have effectively sold our government offices in full view by giving corporations a vote in our politics while robbing their ability to respond to major crises. Thus, when these two events occurred, it became an assault on our democracy as we succumbed to a truly commerce driven society.
