When the Tai O Heritage Hotel opened in Hong Kong this year it represented a coup for conservationists in a city not known for preserving buildings.
The hotel sits on a headland on Lantau Island overlooking the South China Sea, in a building that used to be the Tai O police station. In 1902, when British police built their outpost here, the bustling fishing village was a strategic location on the far western edge of the territory from where the authorities could keep an eye on smugglers. The station also offered a clear view to the point in the sea where British territory ended and Chinese began.
Ng consulted international heritage organisations in the design phase and employed architect Philip Liaou – a fellow conservation nut – to steer the construction. The Hong Kong Government paid for the restoration and retains ownership, but the design, outfitting, and operations of the hotel are up to the foundation, with all profits going back to the community.
The result is the kind of place that's rare in Hong Kong: a countryside getaway an hour's drive from Central. The original structure is intact, with a restaurant added atop the former police dormitory. Nine rooms on two floors feature airy interiors in light hues. Sea Tiger, the first-floor corner room occupying a former office, carries the name of the navy vessel that patrolled the area. Repainted cannons, searchlights and thick metal shutters abound; one of the shutters is still riddled with bullet holes.
The reception area sits adjacent to old jail cells, which are now used to house books and historical objects. Just up the hill from the hotel is a restricted area, formerly British military grounds and now property of China's People's Liberation Army. It is unclear exactly what goes on there; a sign, perhaps, that the strategic value of the area hasn't entirely dwindled.
The restaurant employs a simple menu using local ingredients. Dishes include cheesecake with begonia flowers from the nearby mountains and crispy pork buns containing shrimp paste, for which the village is famous. Its furniture comes from the China Tea Club, a former Hong Kong institution.
Throughout the Tai O Heritage Hotel, artists display their work; it also organises cultural exhibitions related to the area. From the building's early days as a defensive outpost to today's gourmet offerings and artistic activities, it has always come out guns blazing.
Darwin, as Australia's northernmost city, is a new strategic post for the US in the Asia-Pacific region, hence the Americans' military presence there (200 marines have settled in Darwin so far and 2,500 more are expected). Looking out over the Beagle Gulf and the Timor Sea, Darwin is a low-lying town with little traffic congestion, leaving plenty of time to fish and cool down at the beach.
Mother-daughter team Kate Staples and Jennifer Hanlon, along with business partner Emily Graham, recently opened Darwin's first wine bar. Facing Raintree Park in the city centre, it is a popular spot for an after-work tipple. Tapas plates use local produce, including Darwin's own buffalo mozzarella from Beatrice Buffalo.
Chef Manolis Papathomas's taverna is always busy. At long tables, diners pass cheese platters and bowls of mermizeli (a bread salad) to each other; slow-cooked lamb and htapodokeftedes (octopus balls), are favourites. "I want customers to feel at home," says 29-year-old Papathomas. Sister Amalia runs the floor, little sister Nomiki helps cook and mum Irene makes the desserts, including heaving slices of galaktoboureko: a pastry made with baked vanilla custard and sugar syrup.
A tropical setting just minutes from the city, these Balinese-inspired eco villas are Darwin's first example of boutique accommodation. The individually designed two-storey villas have multiple bathrooms, outdoor showers and kitchens; some even boast plunge pools.
On the edge of Darwin Harbour and open nightly from mid-April to mid-November, this open-air cinema looks across the bay at the Top End's famous sunsets. An initiative of the Darwin Film Society, the cinema screens features and documentaries seven nights a week throughout the dry season, as well as the Darwin International Film Festival every September.
Owned by an Afghan-Californian, this friendly spot in the Qalai Fatullah area is where war reporters get their salads and lavash flatbread wraps.
The music scene in Kabul has been steadily growing since the fall of the Taliban, but many shows are still underground, secretive affairs. Newly opened is The Venue, hosting movie nights, book readings and art exhibitions.
To get a unique view of the city, take a walk alongside the Kabul Wall. According to folklore, the wall survived shelling during the 1990s civil war because the 15th-century king who built it mixed the bones of his workers into the plaster. A three-hour hike to the mountainside starts in the Bagh-e Babur section of town; be sure to get a guide or fixer.
British MP Rory Stewart started the Turquoise Mountain Foundation after a winter spent walking across Afghanistan in 2002; it is dedicated to restoring traditional Islamic arts. Call to arrange a visit to their Institute for Afghan Arts and Architecture at a restored complex in the Old City.
Since 2010, thrill-seekers have been visiting the ethnic Hazara province (one of the safest in Afghanistan) to ski and hike – no chairlifts here. Reaching Hazara by road from Kabul is unsafe, so charter a plane.

Water Plans
By Anne Fnlay-Stewart
Owen Sound's water infrastructure dates back to the 1880s. Today the value of the assets in the existing water and waste water systems is $172 million or an investment of approximately $25,000 per customer. The last few weeks have proven just how valuable that infrastructure is to our quality of life.
In 2000, seven deaths and many more illnesses in Walkerton were attributed to contaminated water. The inquiry that followed made 93 recommendations and the province responded with several pieces of legislation including the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Water Opportunities Act. The former includes quality standards, chemical levels, training of operators and licensing requirements. The latter legislation and its unfolding regulations are intended to ensure that water services are maintained and improved to ensure that future demand can be satisfied. As a condition of our licence to operate a municipal water system, the city must create plans that include maintaining and replacing infrastructure, risk assessment, conservation, and a sustainable financial plan to pay for it all.
Who are "most Canadians"?
On Monday March 16th, Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound member of parliament Larry Miller appeared on the CFOS Radio call-in show the "Open Line" with Bill Murdoch. During the show, a caller claimed that he "knew it was wrong" to cover one's face during citizenship ceremonies. Mr. Miller stated his position and then said "I think most Canadians feel the same."
At the Hub we are curious whether our readers agree. Do most Canadians feel this way? Who are "most Canadians" and how do we determine how they feel on this subject? We invite you to submit your opinion in writing to both the Hub and Mr. Miller's office.
Concert Celebrates Musical Heritage
by Anne Finlay Stewart
Twenty-five years ago a visionary woman left a bequest to buy a concert grand piano for the musical community of Owen Sound. On Saturday, March 21 at 8:00 p.m. that piano will be re-dedicated at a concert by Angela Park, a classical pianist of international repute.
Ms. Park will perform at the Harmony Centre, at 4th Avenue East and 9th Street. The community-owned teaching and concert space for many of Owen Sound's aspiring and professional musicians is now the permanent home for the grand piano, in the care of the Georgian Bay Symphony.
Formerly Knox United Church, the building has a rich musical heritage. In the 1930s and 40s, Mr. Cyril Moss was the organist. He often held public concerts at the church, encouraging its use for social and entertainment purposes to create and strengthen a sense of community.
Citizens Protest Bill C-51
On March 14 roughly 100 people gathered together on the steps of City Hall in Owen Sound. The Owen Sound demonstration was one of over 70 similar demonstrations held in communities across Canada to speak out against Bill C-51, the Conservatives' latest proposed anti-terror legislation.
Opponents are particularly concerned about the changes the Bill makes to CSIS. Formed in 1984 with a mandate to gather and and analyze intelligence and assess risks, if the Bill passes unamended the agency would be given powers previously reserved for law enforcement agencies like the RCMP. Because the work of CSIS does not bear the scrutiny of open court, C-51 has been dubbed the "secret police" Bill.

On the fifth day of our Cambodia trip, Rainbow and I had to travel back to Phnom Penh from Siem Reap as out flight back to KL took off the very next day from the Phnom Penh Airport. Our tour ended on the fifth day, so after our journey back to Siem Reap, everything would be on our own.
The tour guide was super kind to have purchased for us the bus tickets to Siem Reap. And we didn't even have the chance to give him some tips before we departed. Le sigh.
Honestly, I kind of prefer Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. Although Siem Reap has more places of attraction, Phnom Penh is slightly more developed and dynamic although a little messy like Malaysia's Pudu Raya.
After reaching back Phnom Penh, we proceeded to its famous Russian Market (see the only bad photo below) to do some shopping, where we bought a load of T's. They were damn cheap and the choices were so good Rainbow and I had a hard time deciding which ones to buy. We also spent a good amount of time bargaining prices with the sellers!
I realised a lot of the stall owners were Chinese Teochews. And since I'm also a Teochew, most of them who knew would tell me in the dialect how I made a good bargainer.
Damn paiseh can? Their praise sounded like I was a cheapskate or something, but whatever lah.
At night, I met up with a Cambodian friend, Hav, and his friend whom I have forgotten the name. I met Hav during our internship at The Star and we had not seen each since 2007. We had some good chats and beer at a petrol station.
With Hav (center) and his friend, who is a Khmer.
I was rather shocked to find out Hav is actually a Chinese, although he doesn't speak Mandarin. HOW COME HE NEVER TOLD ME ONE?!
And the second shocker – Hav has been already married for over a year and his wife was already several months pregnant when we met. Congrats my friend!
During our last day in Cambodia, I also got to meet up with another Cambodian friend, Buntha, who was also an intern at The Star but at a different time as Hav and I. Hav referred Buntha to me before he came to Malaysia and I had helped him look for accommodation.
Posing with Buntha, whom I had not seen for quite sometime.
Hav, his friend, and Buntha brought me around town for brunch and to visit several places on their motorbikes, while Rainbow insisted to stay at the hotel room.
The easy-going Cambodians also brought me to try their popular roasted pork rice. I got to also taste the pig brain soup for the first time in my life.
Thanks to their hospitality, I also had the chance to taste the Cambodian version of Kopi-C, which was totally fab! In fact Hav had brought us to one of the most famous stalls in town, situated at a backstreet in the hustle and bustle of the Phnom Penh city.
For the rest of this entry let's focus on some other Cambodian delicacies.
While still in Siem Reap two days before, we caught our tour guide secretly eating fried noodles away by the roadside. Being someone who loves street food, I quickly made my guide to order me a pack. It was really simply but very delicious!
We paid only 2,000 Riel (slightly less than USD0.50) instead of the tourist price of 2,500 Riel for the fried noodles because our awesome guide ordered it for us.
Last but not least… allow me to introduce the Neak Poan bread. It's the king of all Cambodian foods we're talking about!
Just kidding, I made that up.
Widely found in Cambodia, the Neak Poan bread comes with really tasty and juicy mincemeat kiapped inside the French toast that is usually crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is served together with some generous pieces of ham and prickled cucumber.
A stall selling Neak Poan bread.
If you have strong taste buds for hot spicy food, adding in some chilly and spice powder provided at the stall is definitely a plus! A set of the Neak Poan bread costs only 2,500 Riel (USD0.50).
This is a continuation of my entries on the "Amazing Cambodia" series. Click on the respective links to read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
Shortly after I came back from my trip, about 80% of the photos I took in Cambodia – which you're going to see in this post and the next – were accidentally deleted off Rainbow's memory card.
And the photos deleted were the GIST of my Cambodia trip.
I was really upset about it and about to give up, until one fine afternoon when I was told by Rainbow that she had not taken any new photos with the memory card consisting of the deleted photos.
I was elated, as I was suddenly reminded that photo recovery is possible if no new photos are taken with the memory card where photos are deleted.
On the same night, I worked extremely hard searching for and cracking photo-recovery softwares with Rainbow on the other end of MSN.
In the end, a total of 834 photos were successfully recovered, although 40 or so were corrupted.
The reason why I said this post is the gist, is because it consists of a shitload of photos I took in Angkor Watt – one of the wonders of the world! Mai siao siao!
It was only our third day in Cambodia when my 2GB memory card already ran out of memory at the Tonle Sap lake. I totally forgot to bring along my other 2GB memory card and had to borrow Rainbow's extra memory card in the end.
So on the fourth day we finally got to visit the legendary Angkor Wat, where we entered through Angkor Thom (they call it the "big Angkor") via its South gate. Photos below depict scenes at the South entrance.
If we hadn't been told which gate it was that we were entering, we wouldn't have any idea anyway. The whole site was just gigantic and the monuments looked so much similar from one another.
Apparently Angkor Wat ("City Temple") refers to the monuments as a whole, which consists of Angkor Thom, Bayon, Baphuon, and more.
We spent half a day exploring Angkor Thom, after which we went out for a lunch and took a shower break before coming back in the evening to visit Bayon and Baphuon.
Damn arrogant lah this King Suryavarman II!
From this point onwards I shall let the photos do the talking since I can't remember so many details. Hence I'm also unable to give each and every photo an accurate description.
These photos consist of scenes from Angkor Thom, Bayon, and Baphuon.
At the "Tomb Raider Temple", where Angelina Jolie shot certain scenes for her hit movie Tomb Raider, you can see century-old big trees that look exceptionally phenomenal.
Some of the trees seemed to be slowly eating up the temple buildings. It is sometimes bewildering how time can do wonders.
Rainbow standing alongside a tree that looks like a human backside!
In the picture below, the tree is given a name – called the "couple's tree". The tour guide, who was so very patient in helping us take a bazillion of photos, asked us to pose under the couple's tree thinking we were a couple.
We didn't bother explaining and just pretended to be a couple anyway.
Whenever Rainbow and I thought of our tour guide, we would feel a sense of guilt. This guy was super helpful and all, so we decided to give him some tips before we left. But during the day when he was supposed to send us off, he arrived at our hotel a minute late. By the time we saw him turning into our hotel on his motorcycle, we were already on the bus and taking off.
Tour guides in Cambodia generally earn much less than one can imagine and their main stream of income does not come from their allowance but from the tips offered by tourists. Furthermore their allowance is based on the number of tour days they have in a month and not on a per-month basis.
Anyway, we were quite lucky to be able to have visited Cambodia in April because it was actually during the off-peak season and there hadn't been many tourists. Less tourists certainly means better photo opportunities!
Besides, tour package was so much cheaper compared to if you bought it during the peak season. And most important of all, there were just the two of us during the whole tour – we had been very well fed and well taken care of!
In fact I had gained some weight during our six-day trip in Cambodia, haha!
Anyway during the second half of the day, it was drizzling. But I thought it was okay because the scenery at Bayon was still pretty!
Within the vicinity of Bayon they were selling amazing paintings of Angkor Wat. Very nice lor but they were very costly okay!
The photo below was taken at the highest point of the Bayon temple if I'm not wrong. It was supposed to be closed either due to rain or safety reasons but some dude went ahead and removed the "no entry" sign and visitors who saw it started rushing up.
Of course, Rainbow and I were among them. Hahah!
Part 5, also the last entry from the "Amazing Cambodia" series, can be read here.

What you need to know about the lobster fishery in Seychelles
For the second consecutive year, residents will be able to enjoy the exquisite taste of our local lobsters during the festive season. But before getting to work on your recipe to blow the minds of your guests, how much do you know about the lobster fishery in Seychelles? Are you breaking any laws? Below is the general information that you need to know about this fishery.
General information about the fishery
The spiny lobster fishery has traditionally been managed as a seasonal closure and limited access (license-limited) fishery. This is because fishers primarily exploit the shallow water and coastal stocks, where abundance is limited, thus causing rapid localised depletion with high fishing pressure. In the past, there have been several significant declines of these coastal stocks when too many licenses were allocated, or when the fishery has remained opened for more than three consecutive seasons.
Four main species of lobster are found in the Seychelles waters.
How is the lobster stock monitored and assessed?
The stock status is determined through the assessments of several stock indicators, such as the index of abundance determined through Catch Per Unit of Effort (CPUE) during period when the fishery is open and during fishery independent surveys.
For Catch per Unit Effort its involves the number of individual lobsters caught per man per hour or the amount in kilograms caught per man per hour. As a condition of their license, the license holder is to provide SFA with a mandatory logbook and all their sale records.
For the Fishery Independent Survey, SFA has set up A Participatory Lobster Monitoring Programme (PLMP) which is undertaken annually (in October) at 20 indicator sites around the inner granitic Island to assess the relative abundance of lobsters. Known lobster fishers work alongside SFA's technicians and scientists to undertake this fishery independent survey and assess stock status.
Based on the results of the analysis of the Catch per Unit Effort and fishery independent surveys or a combination from both, the fishery may be opened or may be closed. For example, following significant decline in stock indicators, the lobster fishing season remained closed for two consecutive seasons (2017-2018 and 2018- 2019) to allow the stock to recover.
Limited entry to harvest lobsters
Upon opening of the lobster fishery season, a limited number of licences are issued by the Seychelles Fishing Authority (SFA) to local fishers based on a first come first served basis. Currently there are sixteen (16) licenses which are issued (ten (10) licenses allocated for Mahe residents, four (4) for Praslin and two (2) for La Digue). The licences have underlying conditions that the fishers need to abide to. These include a limit on the number of divers (four divers per license holder) and harvest operation are not to be done in protected areas. For licensees using traps, a maximum of 6 traps are permitted. To add on, license holders shall not harvest lobsters which are less than 7.5cm Carapace length or which are in the berried state (female with eggs). Licensed fishers are also required to provide the Authority with mandatory information.
Consequently, there is a compliance bond of Rs5,000 which is used as a precautionary measure to ensure that fishers comply with their obligations. This compliance bond can be withheld if any of the conditions are breached.
Where can I purchase lobsters?
Lobsters can be bought straight from the fishers themselves or from sale outlets. The general public and sale outlets are informed that they should only purchase local lobsters from licensed fishers and the latter should provide them with an SFA's sale receipt which should be kept at all times and produced upon request from SFA authorized officers.
What are the main constraints?
So far, the main constraints encountered during open season is that fishers are harvesting individuals that are below the legal minimum landing size of 7.5cm carapace length and the harvesting of females in berried conditions (bearing eggs). The size of 7.5 cm is considered as the size of maturity for lobsters, hence capturing them before they reach this minimum size, deprived them of the opportunity to reproduce to replenish the stock. Similarly, the catching of egg bearing female lobster limit the stock from replenishing.
It is to be noted that each fisher has been issued with two lobster gauges that will allow them to easily determine whether a lobster is above or below the minimum size. Lobsters below the minimum size and berried females are to be released back into the sea.
Poaching by unlicensed fishers and the general public is a major concern for the sustainability of the stock of spiny lobsters. The Authority has noticed an upsurge in poaching events, including blatant posting of photos of illegally caught lobsters on social media. The Authority is doing the necessary to investigate such cases and will be take the necessary actions for prosecution.
What are the legal consequences?
For the fishers
The Fisheries Regulations, 1987 (as amended) prohibits the catching, killing of lobster within the Seychelles waters without a valid fishing license and carry a maximum penalty of R20,000. Furthermore, the failure to abide by the license conditions may result in the revocation of the license.
For the general public
If an SFA receipt cannot be produced upon request, lobster individuals can be seized and in most serious cases, prosecution with fines as much as Rs20,000.
As individuals, you can also play a role in protecting the lobster stock. You can do so by reporting sightings of suspicious poaching activity or suspicious posts on social media and always buy from licensed fishers (as published by the authority) or official sale outlets and more reputable sources. You should always request for a sale receipt upon purchasing.
Help us protect this delicacy so we can continue to savor for many years to come.

Discovery and Momentum medical aid members aren't happy with the returns on their respective wellness and rewards programmes.
Consumer journalist Wendy Knowler put the spotlight on the recent complaints levelled against Discovery Vitality and Momentum Multiply.
Discovery Vitality offers member discounts up to 35% cash back on travel benefits such as hotels, flights and cars.
Thirusha Bharath and Henco Kruger both recently complained that the hotel stay discounts which Vitality punts are misleading.
The members found that booking through Vitality rewards was much more expensive when compared to other booking platforms.
They claim that Discovery Vitality apply their discounts to a higher base rate than other vendors.
Some other members have also complained about Vitality rewards being diluted because of a new format.
Consumers never react well when they think their loyalty programme is shortchanging or hoodwinking them in some way, even when they're told it's for their own good.
"Vitality offers member discounts up to 35% cash back on travel benefits such as hotels, flights and cars. For hotels, Vitality has contracted with partners to offer members a discount off what is called the "Best Available Rate" at any given time. In the vast majority of cases, this Vitality status-based discount will be the most competitive rate in the market, and is evidenced by the thousands of hotel rooms booked on this benefit.
However, hotels have the contractual ability to run tactical specials of their own from time to time. These are very limited in their number, time frame and availability, as per the Booking.com example. Vitality is not able to get access to these tactical special offers, but what Vitality does offer members is a consistent, status-based discount off the hotel's "Best Available Rate", on a long-term basis."
At the same time, Momentum Multiply is suffering some backlash after about 4000 members were affected by the glitch that saw their scheduled January payouts shortchanged.
Momentum offer rewards in the form of a health returns, for Active Dayz achieved. These rewards are credited on the 15th of the following month.
Andrew Worrall has complained about the glitch in the December allocations which saw his health returns drastically reduced from R1000 to R100.
Momentum's marketing boss Damian McHugh has apologised for the inconvenience and committed to paying the full amounts due by the end of the week.
Momentum Multiply is a great concept with the health returns, but I think they've blown it.
By the end of the week, we will actually refund the cash value of their earnings into the health saver accounts.
We're very sorry for the inconvenience caused and we hoping that by paying at the end of the week, we'll resolve any issues that the members have.
Every Wednesday, on The Pippa Hudson Show, consumer expert Wendy Knowler provides useful insights and tips on how to make the most of your buying power.

    CompletionBlock testBlock = ^{ NSLog(@"%@", testObject); };
    XCTAssertNotNil(testObject, @"testObject should not be nil");

    __weak NSObject *weakTestObject = testObject;
    @autoreleasepool {
        testObject = nil;
    }
    XCTAssertNotNil(weakTestObject, @"testObject should be retained by testBlock");

    @autoreleasepool {
        testBlock = nil;
    }
    //THIS IS THE FAILING TEST CASE
    XCTAssertNil(weakTestObject, @"testObject should have been released when testBlock was released");
}

I'm guessing that this behavior has something to do with how blocks are stored on the stack/heap.
Update!
Setting the block to nil doesn't release the block as I expected because it is on the stack and will not be released until it goes out of scope. Forcing the block to go out of scope fixes my test. Updated code below.
- (void)testBlock {
    NSObject *testObject = [[NSObject alloc] init];
    __weak NSObject *weakTestObject = testObject;

    @autoreleasepool {
        CompletionBlock testBlock = ^{ NSLog(@"%@", testObject); };
        XCTAssertNotNil(testBlock, @"testBlock should not be nil");
        XCTAssertNotNil(testObject, @"testObject should not be nil");

        testObject = nil;
        XCTAssertNotNil(weakTestObject, @"testObject should be retained by testBlock");
        //testBlock goes out of scope here
    }
    XCTAssertNil(weakTestObject, @"testObject should have been released when testBlock was released");
}

A: Blocks are created on stack, and only become destroyed when scope exits, pretty much like C++ stack-allocated objects with destructors. These blocks are exempt from reference counting and will ignore retain/release messages. Only after being copied (via Block_copy() function or copy message) they become normal heap-allocated objects that can be retained and released.
In your example, the assert shall start working if you wrap all the code before it in extra curly brackets { }, so that the assert executes after block variable's scope ends.

Warpaint – The Fool [2010]
Posted in dream pop,neo psychedelia,shoegaze by deek on October 27, 2010
Emily Kokal's singing — backed by bandmates Theresa Wayman and Jenny Lee Lindberg, and awash in reverb — could be mistaken for something ghostly, if Warpaint's sound wasn't so vitally alive behind her. Unwilling to coast on the pure beauty of the vocals on The Fool, this all-female quartet builds thick, muscled songs that Kokal's otherwordly voice beds down in. These songs are expansive without sounding bloated, and noisy yet sharp. In fact, it's in the pure strength of its noise that Warpaint shows us something new. These musicians know you don't need to amp up the distortion to be noisy, and you don't have to make everything blur at the edges to expand. All the songs here clock in around five minutes and build with a skilled patience. "Set Your Arms Down" and "Warpaint" ride on insistent beats while riffs thread clear paths through the track. The guitars often sound watery here, soaked in chorus-pedal effects, but they never lose their precision. Instead, their clarity cuts effectively through the smooth glide of the vocals and atmosphere of keys. The results, particularly in the album's first half, are both beautiful and subtly heavy. These songs wear on you in the best way, luring you in with simple elements and then burying you deep in the details. "Now I've got you in the undertow," Kokal sings, with a dangerous seduction, on "Undertow" and you can't help but concede. Because when that song launches into a lean, funky groove, it's both left-field surprising and completely organic. Similarly, the electro-pop start of "Bees" yields to a flurry of post-punk angles, while "Shadows" starts with humble folk and blows up into industrial-sized drums and Kokal's shouts like a banshee. Warpaint builds a musical world in which there are no borders between this sound and that one. The band jumps around, indiscriminately, and we go along without looking back. In its intricacy, The Fool is a curiously eccentric pop record. But in its sheer power, it's also a dynamic rock record. And while things do settle down in the second half, the band members don't lose sight of their strengths. Sure, "Majesty" is long on the atmosphere of this record without ever earning its own pulse, and closer "Lissie's Heart Murmur" is a little slow to get going. But next to them, you have a ballad like "Baby," which, for once, holds onto its fragile start and it works as a counterpart to all the sound-stacking that goes on during the rest of the record. In the end, The Fool's success comes in not cutting corners. No moment here settles for the cheap thrill, and in building these songs — carefully,and each with its own distinct materials — Warpaint comes off as an awfully confident band, one you should be listening to more often. – prefixmag
Zola Jesus – Valusia (EP) [2010]
Posted in darkwave,electropop,synth pop by deek on October 27, 2010
With her March EP, Stridulum, Nika Roza Danilova, better known to the blogosphere as Zola Jesus, made a confident move away from the lo-fi, doom-ridden, blown-out sounds of her previous studio output and toward a midway point between opera, goth rock and New Order synth dirges. Valusia, her second EP this year, has the same sound but a different purpose: This four-song stopgap is meant to ensure newcomers that she's playing for keeps. There's no retreating behind the fuzz again. Zola Jesus is out front for good, basically cornering the market on big, sweeping synth pop. On the excellent Valusia, Zola Jesus hooked up with a producer for the first time.Chris Coady, who has produced Yeah Yeah Yeahs and TV on the Radio, helms the boards on "Poor Animal," giving it an even bigger-sounding sheen than the self-produced tracks on Stridulum. "Poor Animal" is as close to dance music as Zola Jesus can probably ever get. With its modest increase in tempo, it imagines an opera inside a three-day old rave. Coady's bigger sound seemingly inspired the re-recorded version of "Sea Talk" — which originally appeared on Tsar Bomba — as well: There's those distant, marching drums, the post-punk synths climbing toward the sun and Danilova's voice floating above it all. Like Stridulum, the greatest strength of Valusia is that it gives us just enough to want to spend more time in Zola Jesus' world, but not enough to subsist on. But if you were to put the two EPs together on one LP, it would form one of the year's best albums. A full-length of material in this vein is due for a 2011 release, and if it's as great as Valusia and Stridulum, Zola Jesus should break through in a big way. -prefixmag
How to Dress Well – Love Remains [2010]
Posted in ambient pop,dream pop,lo-fi,r&b by deek on October 27, 2010
Philosophy student Tom Krell approaches his self-recorded, lo-fi homage to the '80s and '90s R&B he loves with an academic eye, framing his debut, Love Remains—and the entire How To Dress Well concept—as an exploration of the way feelings fade over time. While he's in love with the loverman sounds of Keith Sweat and Blackstreet, Krell's grimy, ghostly versions of those bubble-baths-and-candlelight melodies aren't really made for romancing: This is R&B minus the rhythm, with fragmentary beats echoing from the next room, buried under layers of ethereal ambient drones, reverb-drenched piano loops, and Krell's Bon Iver-like multi-tracked falsetto. It's lonely music, cold and haunting, and all the more elusive for Krell's mostly indecipherable lyrics. There are brief glimpses through the fog, as when the "I was hoping for the rain / I was hoping for you" refrain breaks through "My Body," but Krell keeps his on-bended-knee melodies buried behind the shadows of spectral hiss, evoking a long-neglected cassette tape. But for all its hermetic remove—spelled out by samples from Todd Haynes' Safe on the opener, "You Hold The Water"—Love Remains is an immersive experience that transcends its chilliness (and speaker-crackling sonic limitations) through pure emotion, whether it's the stroboscopic swirl of "Ready For The World" or the pocket symphony build of "Decisions." Nothing wrong with a little bump and grind, even in the abstract. – the av club
Brian Eno – Small Craft on a Milk Sea [2010]
Posted in ambient,electronic by deek on October 27, 2010
Music can make life a cinematic experience. I'm writing this from a train ride to New York City, and Brian Eno's new album Small Craft On A Milk Sea is shaping my view of the scenery as I whiz by. The opening track is gentle and the morning light dances off the fall leaves. But when the intensity of "Forms Of Anger" kicks in, other parts of the landscape pop out — patterns of fencing, graffiti on concrete, shifting heights of foliage. Eno makes two styles of music: songs that showcase vocals and personality and instrumental soundscapes. Small Craft On A Milk Sea, as the name implies, is the latter. And with or without the changing light of a train ride, these tunes alter my perception of the world around me, even with my eyes closed. The album came out of improvisations with two young electronic musicians. The first, Leo Abrahams, met Eno in a guitar shop. Abrahams was trying out a guitar and, as he put it, Eno "was happy I wasn't playing 'Stairway to Heaven' with the amp turned up to 11. (So) he invited me to play on his album." For the past seven years they've worked with such artists as Paul Simon and Grace Jones. Jon Hopkins, who plays piano and electronics, is the other standout collaborator. He and Eno worked on the last Coldplay album together, and the two performed with Abrahams at the Luminous Festival in Sydney, which Eno curated. Unlike many of Eno's ambient albums, this one has varying moods — sometimes it lulls quietly, other times it's fierce. -npr

As Dead Can Dance, Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard sold more than 2 million records worldwide. To this day, they remain 4AD's biggest selling act. On the heels of a sold out Dead Can Dance world tour that took the duo to venues such as the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and Le Palais des Congrès in Paris, Brendan Perry is set to release a new solo album entitled Ark. Ark is more reminiscent of the music Brendan has written for Dead Can Dance than his previous solo work, Eye Of The Hunter.
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti – Before Today [2010]
Posted in lo-fi,neo psychedelia,psychedelic pop by deek on October 23, 2010
Ariel Pink (born Ariel Marcus Rosenberg on June 24, 1978) is a Los Angeles based experimental/pop musician. Pink boasts a cult following and endorsements from more widely known artists such as fellow founding Paw Tracks group Animal Collective. After years of recording in relative seclusion in the hills of Los Angeles, Ariel Pink (the first non-Animal Collective member on the Paw Tracks roster) made his official Paw Tracks debut with The Doldrums. Recording at home with a guitar, bass, keyboard, and 8-track (the drum sounds were created with his mouth). Ariel Pink blends Lite FM and warped lo-fi pop into something by turns beautiful and confusing. Some may find his personal yet detached approach highly addictive, while others may be instantly turned off by the obvious lo-fi production and the vocal drumtracks. -last.fm

Moscow Denies U.S.-Based Diplomat Sought Young Spies
By Andrew McChesney
rs.gov.ruYury Zaitsev, head of the Russian Center for Science and Culture.
Moscow has angrily denied that one of its diplomats in Washington tried to recruit young Americans to spy for Russian intelligence agencies, calling the allegations a "horror story" reminiscent of the Cold War.
The spy flap centering around the 59-year-old head of a Kremlin-funded cultural exchange program raises the specter of a new dispute rocking already stormy relations between Russia and the U.S.
The FBI is investigating whether Yury Zaitsev, head of the Russian Center for Science and Culture, is a Russian intelligence officer who arranged all-expense-paid trips to Russia aimed at grooming young Americans, including students, political aides, nonprofit sector workers and business executives, according to Mother Jones magazine, which first broke the story.
The Russian Embassy in Washington and Zaitsev himself rejected the allegations and expressed concern that unknown people were trying to ruin efforts by Presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin to mend and expand ties.
"It's a shame that Russian-American relations periodically echo the Cold War," Zaitsev, who refused to speak to Mother Jones on the issue, said late Wednesday in an interview with state news agency Itar-Tass. "Someone apparently wants to see the Iron Curtain fall between our two countries once again."
"This kind of horror story very much resembles the Cold War era," embassy spokesman Yevgeny Khorishko said in a statement released to Russian media. "A blunt attempt is being made to distort and discredit the activities of the Russian cultural center, which focuses on developing trust and cooperation between our two countries and people."
He warned that "somebody intends to torpedo" a goal set by Obama and Putin at a Group of Eight summit in June to expand direct contracts between Americans and Russians so as to raise relations to a new level.
But Khorishko vowed that Moscow would not be deterred by the spy allegations. "The Russian cultural center has been working to expand contacts and improve understanding between Russian and American citizens and will continue to do this work," he said.

Mother Jones and other U.S. media reported that FBI officials had met with people who traveled to Moscow and St. Petersburg on trips organized by the Russian cultural center and quizzed them on whether Zaitsev worked for Russian intelligence and whether any attempts had been made to recruit them during their stay. The media reports, citing trip participants, said all had denied that the Russians had sought to recruit them.
The FBI refused to comment on whether it had opened an investigation into Zaitsev.
Zaitsev has diplomatic immunity, so U.S. prosecutors could not press charges against him if the FBI were to conclude that he broke the law. But the State Department could withdraw his immunity, forcing the Russian Foreign Ministry to recall him to Moscow.
The cultural center has brought 128 Americans on "short-term, fact-finding trips" to Russia since the exchange program was created under a presidential decree in 2011, according to program information on the center's website. The global program, which seeks participants aged 25 to 35, has also invited 1,219 people from other countries, including 283 from Europe, 157 from Asia and the Middle East, 29 from Africa and South America and 750 from other former Soviet republics.
About 25 people participated in each trip from the U.S., and they stayed at five-star hotels and met with senior politicians like the mayors of Moscow and St. Petersburg and Federation Council Deputy Speaker Alexander Torshin, Mother Jones said.
Zaitsev, a St. Petersburg native, said in the interview that trip participants were being targeted in a "witch hunt" rooted in a U.S. fear of Russia. "I think it is simply unacceptable that they are ordered to tell what, why, how and why," he said.
In a reminder of lingering suspicions in both countries, Zaitsev pointed out that the U.S. government also organizes exchange programs that bring young Russians to the United States, and he insisted that his program was as transparent as any of those. "All of the information about our programs and projects is publicly available on our website," he said.
Zaitsev's path to Washington is not clear from his organization's website. He received a doctorate in economics from the Leningrad Technological Institute in 1980 and then worked in several government-run student organizations until the Soviet collapse, according to his online biography. He worked in unspecified "leadership positions in private companies" from 1992 until he was appointed head of the cultural center in July 2010. He is married and has one adult son.
The center's second floor has a space library focusing on Russian-U.S. cooperation. (rccusa.org)
But Zaitsev faces a formidable task. Relations between the Russia and the U.S. have soured since Putin returned to the presidency last year, with Washington deploring a Kremlin crackdown on the opposition and a ban on U.S. parents adopting Russian children. Moscow for its part has assailed the U.S. Magnitsky blacklist of Russian officials accused of human rights violations.
The tensions have cast a shadow over yearlong events mean to celebrate the 80th anniversary of diplomatic relations.
The Russian cultural center, also known as Rossotrudnichestvo, is "the official home of Russian culture in the United States" and was created in 2001 under a bilateral agreement aimed at fostering relations, according to its website.
It is housed in a 1895 mansion located 20 minutes by foot from the White House that the Soviet government bought in 1957 and used for the embassy's consular services for 40 years.
The first floor contains the Moscow Room, decorated in cream and gold leaf and with paintings of the Bolshoi Theater, the Kremlin, Moscow State University and Christ the Savior Cathedral; as well as the Hall of Mirrors, with two gala portraits of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great; and the Russian-American Room, with a colorful panorama depicting key moments in Russian-American relations.
The second floor hosts the Pushkin Library, with more than 2,000 books, 300 movies on video and DVD and more than 100 audiobooks; a space library focusing on Russian-U.S. cooperation in space exploration; and classrooms offering Russian-language lessons.
The third floor contains two guest rooms, while the basement has a kitchen that prepares meals for the center's receptions and offers classes on Russian cuisine.

I am sorry to see my friend Al Sikes join David Montgomery in enthusiasm for a Howard Schultz candidacy. The last time a straight talking businessman, Ross Perot, ran a well funded independent campaign, the net effect was to split the vote of centrists and defeat re election of an admirable president, George H.W. Bush. A Schultz campaign in 2020 might have a similarly untoward effect by dividing voters who want to prevent a second term for our current, ill qualified and dangerous president.


The 360-degree movement is gaining traction and 360Rize is a part of it.
Our home office in Olean, New York often plays host to groups of students from area school districts to come in and learn about not only 360 but about our company and what we do here.
The visits, usually a couple hours in length, start off with a presentation from our founder and CEO, Michael Kintner. He likes to tell them the story of a boy from Scio, NY and how that boy has created a business that has achieved international acclaim for advancements in the 360 community.
a bit of the animation side of what we do here. They also get a chance to experiment with our newest addition to the 360 word, the 360Penguin.
Chillin has been a hit with students and educators alike. The story has not only given students a glimpse into what it takes to grow an idea but has also given educators the ability to find new ways of presenting information to their students in and out of the classroom.
In addition to the camera, students are also introduced to the newest development in product marketing through the augmented reality side of the company. Through our app, AR Lively Labels, we can bring boxes, labels, even newspapers to life right before your eyes, all through the power of a cell phone and an app! We have been fortunate to work with regional brewery, Ellicottville Brewing Company, to bring their Blueberry Wheat Beer spokesman, Barry the Blueberry, to life. Chillin and his family have also come to life on the side of the world's first augmented reality bus, and we have even worked with the local newspaper to bring their nameplate to life for the holidays!
After learning the technical side of our production, students are introduced to the content usage through 360 headsets. We let them swim with aquatic life off a reef and walk with elephants in Africa. We can even give them a quarter-mile ride in a dragster.
It's all a part of engaging the youth in what is possible in 360 at this point. Who knows? The next major development could come from one of these students walking through our building, all because of a seed planted at 360Rize. And local districts are taking notice of what is possible, right here in small town America.

La Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 (700 ch), connue en interne sous les codes « LB834 » (coupé) et « LB835 » (roadster), est une supercar développée par le constructeur automobile italien Lamborghini produite de 2011 à septembre 2022. Dévoilée au salon de Genève 2011, elle remplace la Lamborghini Murciélago.

Présentation

Elle affiche une puissance de  et un  en  seulement. L'Aventador a été en mesure d'abattre le kilomètre départ arrêté en moins de  (). Dans l'émission britannique , l'Aventador de Jeremy Clarkson a été poussée à  sur le circuit de Nardò, pour un défi entre une Aventador, une Noble M600 conduite par Richard Hammond () et une McLaren MP4-12C conduite par James May (). L'Aventador s'annonce donc comme la plus performante des Lamborghini (elle a depuis cependant été surpassée par la Centenario de ).

Grâce aux techniques développées par Lamborghini concernant l'utilisation du carbone (une usine spéciale a été conçue), l'Aventador est la première Lamborghini de série dotée d'un châssis monocoque en fibre de carbone. Cette spécificité lui permet d'économiser du poids et d'être exceptionnellement rigide.

Question design, l'Aventador s'impose par un style agressif et radical. Avec la Reventón et la Sesto Elemento, l'Aventador exprime un tournant dans le design des Lamborghini.

En , Lamborghini annonce la production du  ème exemplaire de Lamborghini Aventador depuis 2011. Le modèle est une Aventador SVJ Roadster de couleur grise avec des touches rouges et noires.

L'exemplaire n° 11465, dernier exemplaire d'Aventador produit, est sorti des chaînes de production de Sant'Agata Bolognese le . Il s'agit d'un modèle LP 780-4 Ultimae Roadster de couleur bleue destiné à la Suisse. La production a été arrêté une première fois début 2022. Mais à la suite du naufrage du cargo Felicity Ace en  avec à son bord 15 exemplaires d'Aventador Ultimae destinés aux américains, Lamborghini a relancé la production des exemplaires perdus.

Lamborghini Aventador J

Quatre mois après avoir dévoilé l'Aventador, des rumeurs ont fui concernant une version roadster. Lamborghini a officiellement dévoilé son Aventador J au salon de Genève 2012. Ce modèle unique, sans toit, sans pare-brise, et sans vitres, fait appel au même moteur V12 que l'Aventador standard, développant , avec une transmission automatique à sept vitesses.

La voiture a également été délestée de sa climatisation comme de son équipement audio et de navigation pour l'alléger davantage, abaissant son poids total à .

La désignation de la voiture par la lettre « J » vient de l'appendice J des règles de la FIA qui décrivait les spécifications des voitures de course, elle fait aussi référence à la production d'une unique Miura P400 Jota en 1970, elle-même conforme à l'appendice J (« jota » signifie « J » en espagnol).

La voiture présentée au salon de Genève a été vendue pour la somme de  de dollars. Elle préfigure la version roadster de l'Aventador qui perd la dénomination « J » du concept.

Arctic sea ice maximum at record low for third straight year
Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its annual maximum extent on March 7. This is the lowest maximum in the 38-year satellite record. NSIDC will post a detailed analysis of the 2016 to 2017 winter sea ice conditions in our regular monthly post in early April.
Overview of conditions

On March 7, 2017, Arctic sea ice likely reached its maximum extent for the year, at 14.42 million square kilometers (5.57 million square miles), the lowest in the 38-year satellite record. This year's maximum extent is 1.22 million square kilometers (471,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 average maximum of 15.64 million square kilometers (6.04 million square miles) and 97,000 square kilometers (37,000 square miles) below the previous lowest maximum that occurred on February 25, 2015. This year's maximum is 100,000 square kilometers (39,000 square miles) below the 2016 maximum, which is now third lowest. (In 2016, we reported that year's maximum as the lowest and 2015 the second lowest. An update to the Sea Ice Index last summer has changed our numbers slightly.)
Conditions in context
Figure 2a. The graph above shows Arctic sea ice extent as of March 20, 2017, along with daily ice extent data for five previous years. 2016 to 2017 is shown in blue, 2015 to 2016 in green, 2014 to 2015 in orange, 2013 to 2014 in brown, 2012 to 2013 in purple, and 2011 to 2012 in dashed brown. The 1981 to 2010 median is in dark gray. The gray areas around the median line show the interquartile and interdecile ranges of the data. Sea Ice Index data.
Figure 2b. The plot shows Arctic air temperature differences at the 925 hPa level (about 2,500 feet above sea level) in degrees Celsius from October 1, 2016 to February 28, 2017. Yellows and reds indicate temperatures higher than the 1981 to 2010 average; blues and purples indicate temperatures lower than the 1981 to 2010 average.

It was a very warm autumn and winter. Air temperatures at the 925 hPa level (about 2,500 feet above sea level) over the five months spanning October 2016 through February 2017 were more than 2.5 degrees Celsius (4.5 degrees Fahrenheit) above average over the entire Arctic Ocean, and greater than 5 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) above average over large parts of the northern Chukchi and Barents Seas. These overall warm conditions were punctuated by a series of extreme heat waves over the Arctic Ocean.
Data from the European Space Agency's CryoSat-2 satellite indicate that this winter's ice cover may be only slightly thinner than that observed at this time of year for the past four years. However, an ice-ocean model at the University of Washington (PIOMAS) that incorporates observed weather conditions suggests the volume of ice in the Arctic is unusually low.
The Antarctic minimum
Figure 3. Antarctic sea ice extent for March 3, 2017 was 2.11 million square kilometers (815,000 square miles). The orange line shows the 1981 to 2010 median extent for that day. Sea Ice Index data. About the data
In the Southern Hemisphere, sea ice likely reached its minimum extent for the year on March 3, at 2.11 million square kilometers (815,000 square miles). This year's minimum extent was the lowest in the satellite record, continuing a period of satellite-era record low daily extents that began in early November. However, the Antarctic system has been highly variable. As recently as 2015, Antarctic sea ice set record high daily extents, and in September 2014 reached a record high winter maximum.
The Antarctic minimum extent is 740,000 square kilometers (286,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 average minimum of 2.85 million square kilometers (1.10 million square miles) and 184,000 square kilometers (71,000 square miles) below the previous lowest minimum that occurred on February 27, 1997.
Antarctic air temperatures during the autumn and winter were above average, but less so than in the Arctic. Air temperatures at the 925 hPa level (about 2,500 feet above sea level) near the sea ice edge have been about 1 to 2.5 degrees Celsius (2 to 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit) above the 1981 to 2010 average.
Final analysis pending
At the beginning of April, NSIDC scientists will release a full analysis of winter conditions, along with monthly data for March. For more information about the maximum extent and what it means, see the NSIDC Icelights post, the Arctic sea ice maximum.
On March 27, 2017, we made corrections to clarify the second paragraph under Conditions in context. The paragraph originally read:
Data from the European Space Agency's CryoSat-2 satellite indicate that this winter's ice cover is slightly thinner compared to the past four years. An ice-ocean model at the University of Washington that incorporates observed weather conditions suggests the volume of ice in the Arctic is unusually low for this time of year.

MESSE DE… CARMINA BURANA
VANA JA UUE KOHTUMINE
Ensemble Hortus Musicus
Presentation of brand new CD: Hortus Musicus / Messe de… Carmina Burana
Ancient Hellenistic music, Tournai mass and Carmina Burana (not the cantata by Carl Orff, but the original Medieval songs that have been the source of the cantata).
The clear distinction and separation of sacred and secular music can be seen as the pursuit of an inaccessible ideal by the medieval church. However, in a practical daily life, the relationship of the spiritual and profane spheres was much more complex and closely intertwined – one influenced the other and vice versa. The borders between the sacred and secular music blurred during the High and Late Middle Ages, when the development of polyphony led to the formation of motets with different texts. In addition to the main voice (cantus firmus) singing Latin sacred text, upper voices were added that could at the same time perform non-religious verses in other languages. Thus a secular motet was born that often had a Gregorian chant in one voice. This somewhat hidden dialogue between the polar worldviews is well illustrated by the selection of the works on the given recording. Significant examples of European musical and literary heritage – Tournai Mass, the oldest surviving polyphonic mass cycle, and the collection of liberal non-religious poetry Carmina Burana – seem to be mutually exclusive, but through the contemporary fresh look these two, at the first sight incompatible, worlds meet. The sacred and the profane, the past and the present come together, creating a new composition in itself that gives canonical works a completely different dimension and meaning.
The documents from the 11th–14th centuries cover geographically different regions of Europe. The manuscript of the Tournai Mass, dated 1325–1330, is from France and is preserved in the oldest Belgium city Tournai in the library of Notre Dame cathedral, where it was firstly discovered and described in 1869 by French musicologist Edmond de Coussemaker. Carmina Burana, the most important source of medieval secular Latin poetry, was also found only at the beginning of the 19th century in the Benedictine monastery in Benediktbeuern after which the manuscript was named ("Songs of Beuern"). The collection of 254 texts can be called pan-European: according to historians, the songs originate in France, England, Germany, Spain and Scotland.
In the case of both works, the collective creation and anonymity can be seen which are characteristics of medieval music in general. The manuscript of the six-part Tournai Mass which is probably intended to be performed as a whole, contains different mass cycle parts from several unknown authors. Kyrie, Sanctus and Agnus Dei are older and more unique than others as their music has not been preserved in any other historical source. The last part Ite missa est appears in different sources, is the vivid example of the mixing of sacred and secular music. The motet's lower voice (cantus firmus) sings the text of the mass in long notes, the middle voice (duplum) is a Latin moralizing poem, warning the rich against forgetting the poor, and the upper voice (triplum) performs a love song in the local Tournai dialect.
Carmina Burana is most probably the joint creative act of students and clergy. The collection contains moralizing poems as well as drinking, mocking, joking and love songs with sometimes satirical and in many ways quite filthy content. Some of them have been preserved with melody. Carmina Burana has inspired many artists. The most famous musical setting is made by German composer Carl Orff – most of the people associate the title Carmina Burana with his cantata composed in 1936.
The parts of the Mass and Carmina Burana songs are alternated in this programme. Hortus Musicus as the collective is convinced that music is beyond any conventional borders of time or genres. It is a universal language that remains equally understandable to man, whether through music the contact with the divine is sought or the enjoyment of worldly pleasures is expressed.
Hortus Musicus has been musically active for almost half a hundred years and is thus the oldest ensemble in Eastern Europe in its field and also one of the few so long-lived in the world. The collective, initiated in 1972 by Andres Mustonen, the violin student at the Tallinn State Conservatory at this time, has given countless concerts with thrilling programs, performed in most European countries, the USA, South America, Israel (MustonenFest), Japan and Russia, played in the most prestigious early music festivals and recorded about 40 records. Hortus Musicus' repertoire includes music from the 8th to the 21st century, which speaks about the extremely wide interests and competency of the collective. Borders are crossed in time, geography and genre. In addition to the so-called classical early music, the ensemble's programs include contemporary music and traditional music from exotic countries. A special feature of Hortus Musicus is the bold and unambiguous approach to the performed music, which gives a vivid and fresh interpretation of the sounding works and creates a bridge between the distant history and the modern listener.
