The Rolling Stone Album Guide
Rapture was released by Elektra Records in March 1986, peaking at number 11 on the Billboard 200 in the United States and number 13 on the UK Albums Chart.[7] Promoted with two hit singles in "Sweet Love" and "Caught Up in the Rapture",[7] the album received significant airplay on both black radio and Top 40 formats, unlike Baker's 1983 debut The Songstress.[8] By October 1987, Rapture had sold three million copies.[9] It propelled Baker to stardom in soul and pop music during the late 1980s, winning two Grammy Awards and eventually sold over six million copies worldwide.[7]
In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone, Rob Hoerburger regarded Rapture as a relatively "modest" album compared to more histrionic female singers, while praising the symbiotic relationship Baker shared with her band. Occasionally, he believed, the groove-based music lacked variety, and the singer drifted into "some superfluous scatting and pseudo-jazz harmony", but Hoerburger ultimately deemed her "an acquired but enduring taste".[10] At the end of 1986, Rapture was ranked number 2 among the "Albums of the Year" by NME.[11] It was voted the 23rd best album of the year in the Pazz & Jop, an annual poll of American critics, published by The Village Voice.[12] Robert Christgau, the newspaper's lead music critic, was less impressed and viewed the record as merely a soulful, sexier version of soft rock and easy listening: "it's all husky, burnished mood, the fulfillment of the quiet-storm format black radio ... a reification of the human voice as vehicle of an expression purer than expression ever ought to be".[13]
In 1989, Rapture was ranked #36 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest albums from the 1980s.[14] The same publication would later include the album as number 404 on their 2020 list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[15] In retrospect, AllMusic's Alex Henderson said, "Rapture's tremendous success made it clear that there was still a sizeable market for adult-oriented, more traditional R&B singing."[3] According to The Mojo Collection (2007), "when provocative new trends in black music were exploding from the street by the month, Baker kept her head and made a traditional (i.e., with its roots in the '70s) soul record with brooding, slow-burn minor tunes of romantic celebration and earthy longing."[7] According to CBC Music journalist Amanda Parris, "Baker defined quiet storm in the '80's and her album Rapture is one of the subgenre's milestones."[16] Pitchfork placed the album at number 149 on its list of The 200 Best Albums of the 1980s.[17]

New York's Chinatown is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City, bordering the Lower East Side to its east, Little Italy to its north. Historically, Chinatown was primarily populated by Cantonese speakers. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, large numbers of Fuzhounese-speaking immigrants also arrived and formed a sub-neighborhood annexed to the eastern portion of Chinatown, which has become known as Little Fuzhou. The Manhattan Chinatown is one of nine Chinatown neighborhoods in New York City, which contains the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, enumerating an estimated 779,269 individuals as of 2013.

Very friendly and timely responses.
The house was great! Very clean, fantastic location and accommodated my group perfectly. I overlooked the fact that there was no AC, so it was a little warm, but that was my fault.
Always available and willing to make any and all adjustments when needed. Very happy with the members I worked with. Jeff was always willing to help with our needs.
The beachouse is beautiful, close to stores, the beach and amusement parks. It is a clean, beautifully decorated and has all amenities you could possibly need. My family and I had a great time and I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you for the wonderful family vacation. I will be making this my annual family vacation.
After getting almost ripped off by VRBO, I decided to try a local realty company. Penny Realty was wonderful. Jeff was the BEST!! He was responsive, called back and answered all our questions. The front desk girls were very sweet. The office is wonderful.
The condo is fabulous. There are three bedrooms, all on different levels with their own bath. The layout was perfect for 3 couples and the kids slept on the pull out couch in the living room. The kitchen is beautiful, brand new ss appliances,and stocked with everything you need. There is a brand new grill out the kitchen patio. We were very comfortable. There is an extra refrigerator out in the garage, but cannot be used if you have two cars. The garage is very tight, like most garages in Mission Beach. We had a RAV 4(2012) and a Camry. We walked to Sara's Mexican Food (the best) daily and visited a bar 2 doors down and it was wonderful, to just walk home. Overall, it was a wonderful rental and can't say enough about Penny Realty. Loved them and will rent from them again. Jeff was the best!!!


This is a recipe that cannot be eaten alone - you just have to share.
I love crisps or crumbles of any kind. There is a hominess and family feeling to them. This is a recipe that cannot be eaten alone - you just have to share. In fact, when was the last time you prepared apple crisp for one? Alternate the nuts you use to complement the fruit. I like apples with walnuts, pears with almonds and plums with pecans. • 5 cups peeled, pitted and sliced fruit (don't peel the plums) • 2-4 Tbsp. sugar • 1⁄2 cup (50 gr.) rolled oats (the ones sold in a tin) • 1⁄2 cup (75 gr.) packed brown sugar • 1⁄4 cup (50 gr.) flour • 1⁄4 tsp. ground cinnamon • 1⁄4 cup (55 gr.) margarine or butter, softened • 1⁄4 cup (20 gr.) chopped nuts Preheat oven to 190ºC. Place the fruit in a two-liter capacity ceramic or glass baking dish and toss the fruit with the sugar. In a medium bowl combine, oats, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Using your fingers, rub the fat into the oat mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit and then sprinkle the nuts over the topping. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the fruit juices bubble and the topping is golden. Serve warm with ice cream. If not serving immediately, cool completely, wrap and refrigerate for up to two days. To reheat, bring to room temperature, heat uncovered on a hot plate or in an oven until bubbling.

Instruction, observation, and experience. by Trevor Leggett
By Buddhism Now on 9 August 2010 • ( 2 )
A pupil of a Zen master in Tokyo attended his sangha where it was expected that the students penetrate deeply into truth, in the world and in themselves. This particular pupil had to go to the countryside on a business trip, and he stayed overnight. He attended a service in the local temple. When he returned, he saw the teacher and one or two of his fellow pupils and he said, 'You know — oh, it was so impressive in that little country temple. They were only poor farmers, but the atmosphere of faith . . . There was complete faith there. As I sat there and I heard that firm, resonant voice of the priest intoning the holy text, I thought of all my doubts and all my queries and intellectual enquiries, and, oh, I felt so bad about it. There was this vibrant voice of truth and the complete faith of the peasants.' The teacher said, 'Yes, it is very impressive that faith. The only one there who might have had his doubts would have been the priest himself.'
This is called faith without investigation, without observation, without going deeper, and it can be very impressive, but this is not the faith which the Buddha wanted. Faith begins, but it has to develop into enquiry.
Enquiry, too, can become a sort of slogan, as blind faith can become a slogan. One of our science pundits on the radio — it was quite a time back — said that religion takes things on trust and takes things for granted, on the authority of a hierarchy, but in science even the greatest authority is not decisively accepted, 'Nothing is taken for granted! Everything has to be investigated.' And a man wrote a letter to one of the papers the next day. He said that he'd been very impressed by Dr Magnus Pike's talk about science taking nothing for granted, and it had changed his attitude toward his cat. When the time came to put the cat out at the front door, if the night was wet, the cat would break loose and dash through the house to the back door and meow there, apparently in the hope of finding better weather conditions. He said, 'I realize now that my cat has the true scientific spirit of taking nothing for granted, and of investigating everything whereas,' he added, 'I admit that, before, I used to think our cat was a bit of a fool.'
So we have these two extremes — blind faith without enquiry, and enquiry which is no real enquiry at all; it's just an endless sort of doubt, and still lacks focus.
There are three things which are given by some teachers — instruction, observation, and experience. But they can have slightly unexpected applications. If you teach, for example, a somewhat risky, physical activity, you tell the pupil, 'Don't do it this way. It seems easier, but you can dislocate your elbow.' That's the instruction. And the most intelligent pupil can accept that instruction from an experienced, perhaps a famous teacher; he no longer makes that dangerous move, But a lot of pupils don't accept it. They have a sort of little wire among themselves, 'Oh, they tell everybody that. Some idiot once made a mistake . . . You don't take it all literally. We're all different, aren't we?'
Well, then they see it happen; some idiot does it and his arm sticks out from the elbow. Oh! well, many are convinced then. But still there are some who think, 'He was always clumsy, that chap, but I can get away with it.' So, with such pupils the teacher sometimes has to arrange a little accident, not a serious one, and that is because they can only learn through actually experiencing the disaster themselves. This is the worst way of learning. You are told, you don't believe it. You see, and you still don't believe it. And then, finally, through the most bitter experience, you do believe.
The best way of learning is to accept the instruction, but not to stop there, not simply to say, 'Oh, well, the teacher says, so I won't do that,' but to observe too. We can observe what happens when people don't follow the teacher, and also we can observe the hidden advantages of following the teacher, which the teacher often doesn't state overtly. Those things are observed in other people, but more than that, finally, the instruction is accepted and observed and experienced in oneself.
So there are these three things — instruction, observation, and experience. The worst pupils don't believe the instruction, don't believe the observation and, reluctantly, by force, they have to believe the experience. The best pupils believe the instruction, but don't stop there; they go on to confirm it by observing, and finally they confirm it in their own experience.
There is an Eastern saying: 'The arrow flies with alien feathers.' The arrow flies and often hits the target, but its feathers have come from somewhere else: 'The arrow flies with alien feathers.' The bird flies with its own feathers. The arrow flies with alien feathers and it often hits the target, but it gets nothing; it's simply pulled out and then it's shot again. The arrow gets nothing, but the bird which flies with its own feathers comes to the nest and the mate and the young ones, and fulfils itself. There is a tendency to want to fly with alien feathers and to read and be satisfied with reading about great figures in the tradition that we are in. This is not bad, but it's trying to fly with alien feathers, and one can end up with a tremendous amount of information about the thing without having anything of one's own; it's all been borrowed quotations and borrowed experiences and borrowed memories. The bird flies with its own feathers.

Photo Journal: UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Bolivia – The Jesuit Missions.
Trying to offer a bit of 'catch up' with our travel posts [before many more begin pilling up !] Our family still has a big trip planned before we depart Bolivia – somewhere around the school Easter break, but for now, let me share a bit of our visits to some of the Bolivian UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The first one refers to the Jesuit Missions [Misiones Jesuiticas] in Santa Cruz de La Sierra.
In a very near future, I'll aim to tackle another heritage site: the wilderness and unique culture of Samaipata, also located in the Department of Santa Cruz.
The Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos are located in Santa Cruz department in eastern Bolivia. Six of these former missions (all now secular municipalities) collectively were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990. Distinguished by a unique fusion of European and Amerindian cultural influences, the missions were founded as reductions or reducciones de indios by Jesuits in the 17th and 18th centuries to convert local tribes to Christianity.
Between 1696 and 1760, six ensembles of settlements of Christianized Indians, also called "reducciones" inspired by the 16th-century philosophers idea of an urban community, were founded by the Jesuits in a style that married Catholic architecture with local traditions.
The six that remain – San Francisco Javier, Concepción, Santa Ana, San Miguel, San Rafael and San José – make up a living heritage on the former territory of the Chiquitos [Source: WHC UNESCO].
The interior region bordering Spanish and Portuguese territories in South America was largely unexplored at the end of the 17th century. Dispatched by the Spanish government at the time [towards the New World], Jesuits explored and founded 11 settlements in 76 years in the remote Chiquitania – then known as Chiquitos – on the frontier of Spanish America. Our family flew from our home, La Paz to Santa Cruz de La Sierra. From there, we drove some 1,500 km in order to visit most of the Jesuitic Missions still standing – only one was left unseen, due to been too far from our planned route – close to the Northeastern boarder with Brazil – the Jesuit Mission of San Jose.
They built templos with unique and distinct styles, which combined elements of native and European architecture. The indigenous inhabitants of the missions were taught European music as a means of conversion. Obviously, when we remember learning about the Jesuitic times in school, there's the controversy around the Jesuits original goals – some would believe in a not-so-positive influence; others still remain faithful to the good-hearted intentions praised by the Spanishmen… I, for one, admire the work and teaching left here – and invite to continue the journey with us!
The missions were self-sufficient, with thriving economies, and virtually autonomous from the Spanish crown.
After the expulsion of the Jesuit order from Spanish territories in 1767, most Jesuit reductions in South America were abandoned and fell into ruins. The former Jesuit missions of Chiquitos are unique because these settlements and their associated culture have survived largely intact.
A large restoration project of the missionary churches began with the arrival of the former Swiss Jesuit and architect Hans Roth in 1972. Since 1990, these former Jesuit missions have experienced some measure of popularity, and have become a tourist destination. A popular biennial international musical festival put on by the nonprofit organization Asociación Pro Arte y Cultura, to be held this coming April 2014, along with other cultural activities within the mission towns, contribute to the popularity of these settlements.
Beautiful photos! I live in Santa Cruz de la Sierra and still haven't made a trip to the missions. Your experience has definitely inspired me to make the trip, soon!

Better late than never...
Halloween night was a blast. It's the first warm Halloween I can remember. Funny thing was, the kiddos only trick or treated for a little while. They had more fun answering the door at home!
Let's do it again next year!
I don't know what to say. Just LOOKING at these pictures cracks me up. I love you Kaden!!!
all cooped up
Do you ever feel all cooped up?
(Thunder, Kaden and Ham)
Well apparently so do these gals, because they keep escaping!!!
Any ideas on how to keep them from flying the coop?
Hard to believe they started out this size...
(Back to front - Thunder, Sheba, Ham)
(Chasers)
(Thunder)
(Ham)
And that's little Sheba Kaden's holding (sniff, sniff)...
What we thought was a terrible cough developed into a cock-a-doodle-doo.
She turned out to be a he and we had to return him to the farm.
We sure loved her/him, though!
We replaced Sheba with Pepper, who also developed a loud cock-a-doodle-doo.
We now have Marcia.
We hope she stays cock-a-doodle-doo-less.
Having chickens is an adventure every day.
We get to experience all the miracles of life through these girls.
I loved this book so much I read it twice (and want to read it again.)
I saw the movie with family last weekend and enjoyed it more than I can say.
If you haven't read it, you must.
If you haven't seen it, you must!
One of the overriding themes of the book is the importance of teaching children to know three things:
(I get a lump in my throat when I read these words.)
summer's out for school!!
Kolby started first grade, and was excited to ride his scooter to school and eat lunch with the big kids. Kyler started third grade, and insisted on wearing a mohawk. Kaden started sixth grade and is obviously too cool now to hold up fingers indicating his grade. And Kenyon started ninth grade, and hated that I brought out the camera.
Off to Jr. High
Waiting to leave for the Elementary School
Who is the most excited? Kaden? Kyler? Dad? (ha ha) Kolby?
ME???
Dad biked to school with Kyler and Kaden
And I followed alongside Kolby on his scooter. I had to run to keep up. It works out great!
I get a workout and Kolby thinks he's as big as the big kids.
We've done it every day since school started last Monday. Love it!
Getting tricky!
He did tricks all the way there and then 10 feet from the school, he hit a bump, landed on his head, and somehow ran over his own finger. Ouch.
I didn't think he was going to do it, but he pulled himself together and went to class.
SUCH a cute first grade class!
Kyler didn't fair much better. While going off a jump, his bike ran into a garbage can and Ky flipped over the handlebars. But he also pulled himself together enough to go to class.
Looks like third grade is going to be SERIOUS. Look at all those books!
Kaden thought I was the coolest mom at school because I was snapping away at his sixth grade class.
Ahhhhhh... I stopped to smell the flowers on my leisurely walk home.
Our after school snack. Pina coladas.
All in all, a good time was had by all.
Oh, except for poor Kenyon...
...who got a terrible migraine on his first day of ninth grade.
(I guess it's a good thing I didn't go track him down in his
classes to take pictures of him like I wanted to!)
Happy school year, everyone!!
July is a time for...
...celebrating, laughing, being together, and being SO thankful for all we have.
Uncle Jeff is too funny on the Doodlebug!
M&B having fun in the water...
Sooooo much fun. Nothing better than family!
As a final salute to July, we took a quick trip to Park City for some school shopping and together time.
Ridin' the SLIDE
Kyler decided he wanted to bungee jump instead of slide.
The slide is a bit (okay a lot) terrifying to him.
My boys...
Some scenery on the drive home.
to family and friends near and far...
Something HAS to be done...
...about the GANG problem in our neighborhood!
Does it get better than this?
I am grateful to be a mother of four little boys who make me happier than I think they know.
I woke up this morning to a bleary-eyed Kaden who had gotten up early and fixed me breakfast in bed...a fried egg on wheat toast with orange juice (it was delicious.) And on the tray was a magnet with his cute face, a bookmark, and a card.
A little later, as I was getting ready for the day, Kenyon came in with a big glass of pina colada he'd made especially for me, and he gave me a big hug. (I don't always get hugs from my 14 year old, so it meant more than anything.)
Kyler gave me his gift of another bookmark (it's a good thing I love to read!) and a fill-in-the-blank paper he'd completed at school that made me laugh with joy. According to Kyler's paper, I am 26 years old, I weigh 90 lbs :), I love cleaning, and I play with him a lot on the trampoline (note to self: do that more!)
Kolby made me a clay flower pot with little plastic flowers - yellow because he knows that's my favorite color - and a note that brought tears to my eyes:
"My mother has a green thumb,
she loves each flower and tree.
But she says her most important job
is to grow a beautiful me!"
And my honey even spoiled me with flowers for the yard and a delicious Sunday dinner, which he cooks for us every Sunday, but still, it was wonderful. Love you, dear!
Okay, does Mother's Day ever get any better than this? I doubt it.
And speaking of things that don't get any better, we paid visits to two of the greatest women in the world tonight.
Kathy, thank you for raising a son who is such a good father and husband, and thank you for being my mother too. You've been through so much this year and you've been so strong. The thought of losing a son is beyond my comprehension. You are an example to me of constancy, love, endurance, and kindness. I love you.
And Mom, how can I say thank you for being my mom? I honestly don't know. Perhaps I should have made a bookmark or a clay pot, because those things sure made me feel loved today. But I guess that's the thing about Mother's Day. It's impossible to repay or properly thank a woman who gives life, direction, encouragement, love, and guidance. I guess all I can do is try to emulate who you are and be at least half as good at being a mother as you. I love you so much!

I am a 37 year old wife to Kent and mother to four boys who keep me forever in awe of this world. I'm a tryer-outer of many things, but master of nothing. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll stay a while and maybe even leave a comment or two!

Kyler - March 2011 - After we told him to pack his suitcase...we were going to Disneyland: "Oh my gosh. I think I almost happy-cried!"
Kyler - July 2009 - After walking through a temple open house and seeing a player piano in the reception hall: "Mom, I think the Holy Ghost is playing that piano!"
Kolby - June 2009 - Shooting his very first bb gun, taking turns with Mom and LOVING it..."I get three turns every time because I'm three, right Mom? How many are you?" Mom says, "35." {pause...pause...} "I get three turns because I'm three, Mom, but you just get one turn because you're too many!"
Kolby - March 2009 - At the dinner table Kenyon accidentally knocked over a cup of chocolate milk and it landed in Kolby's lap. We were all waiting for Kolby to freak out. He looked at Kenyon, and, in an exasperated tone, simply said, "Why." And it was not a question. It was a statement.
Kyler - Fall 2008 - We were getting ready for our Primary Program and had been practicing the song, "Onward, Ever Onward...." Kyler was in his room one day singing it at the top of his lungs, only this was his version: "Awkward, Ever Awkward..."
Kyler - 2008 - While talking with his five year old friends (who obviously have older brothers): "Kaylee is hot!" Then later, after his friends went home, to me: "Mom, what does 'hot' mean?"
Kolby 2008 - "I love you so much!" (He says this several times a day, particularly when he knows he is in trouble.)
Kolby 2008 - After sneezing on me: "I got achoo all over you!"
Kolby December 2008, at the Lion House Restaurant, very loudly - "Hey! Kyler has fire on his weenie!" (He meant to say that he had a PICTURE of fire on his BEENIE.) To which the other three boys guffawed and loudly repeated several times. The other restaurant patrons were not quite as amused.
Kolby 12/28/08 - (From his carseat, in an exasperated tone, while trying to reach something) "Aaargh! I can't get that forkin thing!" We think he meant to say "freakin" but it really sounded like something else and shocked us all.
Kolby 11/28/08 - (About Grum and Tannie) "Hey, they have the same head!"
Kaden's famous saying in response to "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit:" - "You get what you choose and you choose what you want!"
Kenyon - first grade - (Written in his Christmas wish list booklet,) "If I could have one thing for Christmas, it would be Miss Winkel's phone number."
Kyler - 2006 - After receiving a total revelation - "Mom! Did you know that every day has a night!?"
Kenyon 2005 - (At the grocery store, looking up and down the aisle for chicken broth,) "I didn't know chickens wear bras!"
Kaden - 8 years old - (When asked if he could tend our Spanish-speaking friend's snake for a couple of years,) - "I wish we could take it, but we don't speak Spanish!"

Gaffer's Monthly Update
Steve Evans gives his monthly update...
This season Steve Evans is answering any questions we put to him on a monthly basis and today we return with our second feature of the season, and we started with yesterday's 1-1 draw away at Championship league leaders Norwich City.
Can you now provide us with your reflective view this morning on the point taken from Carrow Road yesterday?
For me it was a match in which we competed from start to finish and the least we deserved was the point we got. Many will look at the possession Norwich City enjoyed but others will look at which team created the better clear chances and there is no doubt that was Rotherham United.
Matt Derbyshire was unlucky on two occasions and both Jordan Bowery and Jonson Clarke-Harris went very close to putting us 2-0 in front. Craig Morgan had a great header cleared off the line and had that gone in at that stage it would have been game over.
The lads are working so hard, sticking with our game plan and it has to be said executing it with some real determination. No one gave us a chance of beating Blackburn Rovers in mid-week, we did that comfortably, and again most wrote us off before yesterday at Norwich City but we, the group, thought we could win.
Norwich City are a quality football club, a superb squad of players and a support that will help take them a long way. It is matches like we have had this week that makes us enjoy competing at this level even more than we thought we would.
Finally a word of praise for our support who travelled to Norwich yesterday, again you backed the team from start to finish, we are indeed proud to serve you all - thank you.
International break time and that now means two weeks without football, what are your plans for the team?
All the players except those away on International duty will be in training as normal plus we have arranged a couple of closed door matches so we make sure the lads' competitive match time is kept high, plus of course we have a number of players we want to get some match minutes into during this time.
Personally I have a few days on a coaching course but every other day I will be around. Next weekend I will also be having a very close look at a player I am very interested in bringing to the Millers so it will be interesting to see if I am as keen next Saturday evening.
Hopefully at the end of this two week break we will have a number of players either back available or at the very least very close to being back. Our squad is light in numbers at present but when the likes of Kirk Broadfoot, Richard Wood, Mark Bradley, Rob Milsom and Conor Newton return it makes competition for a starting shirt much stronger and we need that in what is a fearsome league. However it has to be said a couple of these lads may have to go out on loan to get some much needed match time but that will not be a problem as a number of managers in League One and Two have already asked about them on a regular basis.
You have just said you are on a player scouting mission next weekend, are we likely to be adding to our squad after the International break?
The plan has always been to add to the group but it goes without saying we only want to add players that can make a difference and improve on what we have. For us it is not about trying to compete financially with clubs in The Championship, in simple terms we can't and won't but for us it is about getting value for money when we sign any players.
The squad is sure to evolve over the season, it did in League Two, it did again in League One. As the manager I get tremendous support from my Chairman Tony Stewart and in turn I, like all my staff and players, give him everything in return. Rotherham United is a group of very committed individuals, the Chairman, staff, players, supporters; we really are all one with the same common goal. We are enjoying this challenge in The Championship; it really is great to be part of.
We are 11 matches into the season, what are your thoughts on how we have acquitted ourselves to life in The Championship, are you satisfied?
If I could use a word it would be frustrated. There is no doubt given our performances we should have a few more points on the board but it is a very unforgiving league. I am watching on now as some of our top players from last season are getting to grips with their individual form this season, it was always only going to be a question of time but those lads like every one of the players knows the team here gets picked on form now, last season was fantastic but it is history.
We have played 11 matches and six of those away from home. I look at The Championship league table this morning and I look in detail at who we have played, we have played six out of the top eight! I really do get the feeling we are now up and running and our new players from the summer are now settled and aware of what it is we want exactly. We have a fantastic team spirit in the group, the lads love coming to work and that is essential if we are to get the best out of them.
Finally, our return to Championship action in just under two weeks will see us host Leeds United at New York in front of the live Sky Television cameras, another great occasion?
It is certainly a great game to look forward to. Last week we entertained Blackburn Rovers, former Premier League champions, and next up for us is the great Leeds United. When I grew up in Glasgow you did not know much about football in England but everyone knew about Leeds United, who as a Scotsman can ever forget wee Billy Bremner.
They are a huge club with a fantastic support, they also now have an excellent team under a new owner who to me has invested millions and is very passionate.
We need to build on the draw yesterday and of course the excellent win over Blackburn Rovers, it will be another tough match but my lads are capable if we can produce another top class performance.


Farnesol lends a sweet and floral note to a formula. Sometimes it occurs naturally in the essential oil we use, and sometimes we add it in its synthetic form to enrich the fragrance of products.
Farnesol has a gentle linden and angelica odour. It is delicate, floral and green and is a part of natural essential oils, including rose, palmarosa, neroli and ylang ylang.


I, like most of you I suspect, troll craigslist to look for interesting cars I have no intention of buying. Today, Craig really delivered.
While looking for manual transmission cars under older than 1980 this thing turned up. A US kit car, on a Triumph TR3 chassis, with Gullwing doors, the designer was convicted of killing his 2nd wife, sentenced to 12 months imprisonment and he then died of a heart attack in prison.

est une entreprise fondée en janvier 1968 par le groupe britannique The Beatles. Ils venaient en effet de dissoudre leur première société Beatles Ltd. pour former un conglomérat. Au , l'entreprise continue à publier tous les contenus musicaux et audiovisuels des Beatles sur tous types de supports.

Histoire
Lorsque les Beatles apprennent que leur « capital » peut être soit investi dans la création d'une entreprise soit dilapidé en impôts divers, ils choisissent la première solution, débouchant sur la naissance d'Apple Corps. Ce nom est un jeu de mots car l'homonyme anglais «  » signifie « trognon de pomme ».

Le nom et le logo ont été inspirés du tableau Le Jeu de Mourre de René Magritte acheté par Paul McCartney et le design est complété par le graphiste irlandais Gene Mahon . Originellement, la pomme verte que l'on voyait sur l'étiquette du disque de la face 1 ne devait pas avoir d'écriture tandis que la pomme coupée de la face 2 accueillerait le texte de cette face à gauche sous le titre « This Side » et à droite, le texte de l'autre face marquée de « Other Side ». L'idée a dû être abandonnée car la loi sur le copyright exigeait d'avoir l'information sur chaque côté du disque.

Apple est lancée en  avec ses divisions Apple Records (la seule qui sera rentable et qui survivra), Apple Electronics, Apple Publishing, Apple Films et Apple Retail. En plus de couvrir les finances et les activités des Beatles, la compagnie est censée apporter de l'aide à tout artiste dans le monde qui voudrait lancer un projet artistique de valeur. Outre les quatre Beatles, Neil Aspinall,  et Derek Taylor sont des membres importants de la compagnie.

Un résultat contrasté

En ce qui concerne la division Apple Retail, la  « de mode » ouverte au public le 7 décembre 1967 sur Baker Street à Londres figure dans la catégorie des catastrophes. Lancée en grande pompe le 5 décembre 1967, décorée d'une fresque psychédélique peinte sur ses deux façades par le collectif The Fool, elle sera fermée, le 31 juillet 1968 au bout de six mois  devant un abîme de pertes dues à une gestion folklorique, voire inexistante. Dernier « moment de gloire » pour la boutique fermée : un soir de la fin du mois d', Paul McCartney, muni d'un pot de peinture, inscrit « Hey Jude » sur les vitrines, histoire de promouvoir le 45 tours à venir, le premier à sortir sur leur label illustré par une pomme Granny Smith. Malheureusement, certains y ont perçu un lien avec les années de la guerre où les magasins de propriété juive d'Allemagne se voyaient affublé de «  » ou «  » sur leur vitrine.

Apple Electronics est confié au fameux « Magic Alex » (Alexis Mardas), sorte de charlatan intronisé « génie de l'électronique » qui a tapé dans l'œil de John Lennon, et qui sera à un moment donné un des principaux personnages de l'entourage direct du groupe. Sa grande tâche est de concevoir le studio d'enregistrement au sous-sol de l'immeuble du 3, Savile Row, à Londres, où s'installe la compagnie. Il prétend construire le premier « 72 pistes » de l'histoire.

Lorsque les Beatles découvrent le résultat, au moment de poursuivre leur projet Get Back en , ils tombent des nues. Rien n'est prévu pour le câblage, pour l'insonorisation (dans les deux sens), pour la communication entre la cabine d'enregistrement et le studio, Magic Alex a conçu une pauvre console de mixage qui sera immédiatement jetée au placard, et a disposé 16 baffles répartis tout autour du studio.

Le groupe devra en catastrophe emprunter du matériel à EMI pour pouvoir mener à bien son projet, en coupant le chauffage central audible par manque d'insonorisation. Ils y enregistrent finalement à partir du 22 janvier 1969 toutes les chansons de l'album Let it Be dont certaines seront jouées le 30 janvier lors de leur concert donné sur le toit de l'immeuble de Savile Row. Finalement, un « vrai » studio sera construit en 18 mois sous la direction de Geoff Emerick et servira, après la séparation des Beatles, aux artistes du label comme Badfinger, Billy Preston, Ravi Shankar, James Taylor… et aussi à Marc Bolan (T. Rex) ou Harry Nilsson. Il est fermé au milieu des années 1970, quand la compagnie déménage dans le quartier de Knightsbridge.

Les deux premières années d'existence d'Apple coïncident en fait avec la dégradation des relations entre les membres des Beatles, dont la séparation est officiellement annoncée en . Pendant que le groupe se disloque, Allen Klein, devenu son manager contre la volonté de Paul McCartney, commence par négocier un très avantageux contrat de redistribution de royalties avec EMI, puis dans sa volonté de réduire les coûts, à renvoyer une grande partie du personnel, dont Alexis Mardas.

Le chaos financier qui préside aux débuts d'Apple Corps n'est résolu qu'au bout de nombreuses années de disputes. Quand la dissolution juridique des Beatles est prononcée en 1975, il est aussi question de la disparition d'Apple, mais la décision est finalement de maintenir la compagnie, qui va devenir très rentable, tout en supprimant toutes ses « divisions ».

Sur le label Apple Records (distribué par EMI au Royaume-Uni et par Capitol Records aux États-Unis), sont publiés à partir d' les derniers 45 tours et 33 tours (l'Album blanc, Abbey Road, Let It Be) du groupe encore actif, puis tous les disques que John, Paul, George et Ringo produisent séparément ensuite. Il connaît une nouvelle ère de gloire et de profit à la fin des années 1980, lorsque tout le catalogue Beatles est réédité sur CD et, plus tard, avec la publication de la série The Beatles Anthology, puis de One en 2000. Apple Records commercialise le  toute la production des Beatles (soit 14 albums) remasterisée, et continue de publier des albums « augmentés », pour le cinquantenaire de leurs publications, avec des versions « super deluxe » ou apparaissent des prises alternatives des différentes chansons. Apple Corps produit aussi le film The Beatles: Eight Days a Week réalisé par Ron Howard en 2016. La compagnie est aussi à la manœuvre à partir de 2017, pour confier au réalisateur Peter Jackson près de 60 heures d'images et 150 heures d'audio, issus des séances de janvier 1969 et tournées par Michael Lindsay-Hogg. Le réalisateur néo-zélandais restaure, synchronise et monte un documentaire en trois parties et d'une durée frisant les huit heures, intitulé The Beatles : Get Back, mis en ligne en novembre 2021.

Durant presque 40 ans, le patron d'Apple Corps fut l'ancien  et ami des Beatles, Neil Aspinall. Il prend sa retraite en 2007 pour être remplacé par . Les propriétaires de la compagnie sont Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr et les ayants droit de John Lennon et George Harrison.

Apple contre Apple

À partir des années 1980, Apple doit batailler incessamment en justice avec son homonyme fondée en 1976 par Steve Jobs et Steve Wozniak, Apple Computer, sur une brûlante question de propriété et d'utilisation de la marque déposée. En 1981, un accord stipule qu'Apple Computer doit rester en dehors de l'industrie musicale.

De nouvelles actions en justice seront lancées à chaque fois qu'Apple Corps estimera que le fabricant d'ordinateurs viole cet accord : d'abord en 1989 avec une carte son compatible avec la technologie MIDI, ensuite en 2003 avec l'iPod et l'iTunes Music Store.

Un accord définitif est finalement trouvé en février 2007, au terme duquel Apple Computer, devenu Apple, Inc. en janvier de la même année, devient propriétaire de la marque Apple, tandis qu'Apple Corps en conserve l'usage pour ses propres activités. Une grande partie des termes de cet accord restent secrets. Mais une des conséquences certaines est l'apparition de tout le catalogue des Beatles numérisé sur l'iTunes Music Store en .

Des différends sur le montant des royalties reversées par EMI et Capitol entraînent une autre longue action devant les tribunaux, et là aussi, un accord à l'amiable est trouvé en 2007.

When we're conducting a CFO search for clients, it's not unusual for me to read through (yes, I actually read them) hundreds of resumes looking for people I'd like to get to know better in an interview. Through the process, I sometime feel a little like Goldilocks; some resumes are too long and detailed, some are too brief, and some are just right.
Either they bug you or they don't. Some people get really upset at the notion that an otherwise perfect candidate might not get chosen due to something as small as a typo in a resume. Bock's point about typos is that some reviewers may interpret them as a lack of attention to detail. The fix is easy; proofread your resume from bottom to top or have a friend take a look with a fresh set of eyes.
A crisp, focused resume demonstrates an ability to synthesize, prioritize, and convey the most important information about you. Think about it this way: the *sole* purpose of a resume is to get you an interview. That's it. It's not to convince a hiring manager to say "yes" to you (that's what the interview is for) or to tell your life's story (that's what a patient spouse is for). Your resume is a tool that gets you to that first interview. Once you're in the room, the resume doesn't matter much.
Your resume isn't the place to get creative (unless you're applying for a position in design or such). Standard fonts, margins, spacing and such make for an easy-to-follow document that will get read in its entirety. Reviewers know when you're trying to cram a bunch of info on the page by using small margins or tiny fonts. Bock also suggests saving your resume as a PDF for easy viewing across platforms.
Trying to skirt or flagrantly violating confidentiality guidelines of current or former employers is a big no-no according to Bock. After all, how can the prospective employer expect you to uphold their confidentiality rules if you've name-dropped in your resume?
Big or little, lies will always catch up with you. Even if you get the position, you probably hope to be promoted some day and those little white lies will come back to haunt you. It's too easy these days for people to check up on you, so it's not worth fudging, even just a little.
As I said before, all resume reviewers are different. But avoiding common mistakes can help make sure that your resume gets full consideration. What do you think about Bock's guidelines? What would you add or subtract from the list? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.


We're hearing from concerned customers who are experiencing frozen water pipes, internal to their building, due to the very cold weather. To protect your property, understand the risk factors and know the preventative steps to take.
Related: Snow and ice can build up around outdoor water, gas and electrical equipment. Learn about the preventative steps you can take from our web page on Winter Safety.
To check your plumbing, touch exposed cold water pipes, for example in your basement or under the kitchen sink. If a spot feels unusually cold (or colder than in other spots) take measures to provide heat. Consider calling a plumber, as the problem can get worse.
Consider these tips to prevent problems with frozen internal plumbing and avoid costly issues with your privately-owned water service.
Locate your master shut-off valve at the water meter. Ensure it is accessible and operating. This way you'll know how to quickly turn off the water if a pipe bursts.
Unscrew outdoor garden hoses, turn off the outdoor water supply, and allow the taps to drain before the first frost.
Make sure that boxes and other items aren't blocking heat from getting to your water meter or exposed plumbing against exterior walls.
Exposed plumbing pipes in exterior walls of your home, unheated basements and crawlspaces could be at risk. Insulate pipes or faucets in unheated areas, especially near outside walls and in crawl spaces, the attic and garage. This can be done with foam pipe covers available from building supply or home improvement stores. Avoid direct pipe contact with exterior walls.
Seal cracks that let air in, which could potentially blow on exposed pipes. Check around windows and doors, electrical wiring, dryer vents and pipes. Ensure doors and windows are fully closed. Focus your attention on areas where your water lines run along outside walls or come up through floors, or in unheated basements and crawl spaces.
Consider installing frost-free outdoor faucets.
If you're going away, turn off the master shut-off valve and drain the pipes, including external taps. Consider other systems in your building, including water heaters and water softeners, as they may be affected when your water is off.
During periods of extreme and prolonged cold, leave a pencil-thin stream of water flowing from a cold water tap. Please note, you will be charged for the water used if you choose this step to protect your private property.
Run cold water from the lowest point in the house, usually a laundry room sink.
Ensure the drain is kept clear of debris to prevent overflowing or flooding.
While our customers' water conservation efforts are important and appreciated, this is a last-resort suggestion that can help a building owner avoid costly issues with their privately-owned water service. Consider placing a sign on the tap to remind occupants to leave the water running.
When in doubt about internal plumbing issues, consult with a licensed plumber.
While the calls we are receiving now relate to frozen internal plumbing pipes, understanding the risks and preventative steps for frozen water service lines can help avoid future problems in case of extreme and long-duration cold spells.
The current snow cover acts as insulation to help reduce the risk of service lines freezing. However, you should be aware that, during prolonged, extreme cold spells, any water service is at risk of freezing, and there are certain risk factors to be aware of. Knowing when the risks are high can help building owners take preventative steps to protect their property.
If you suspect that the water service line is frozen, don't delay; call Utilities Kingston right away at 613-546-1181. If the problem is inside the building, with internal plumbing, contact a licensed plumber immediately.
Watch this video to learn how Utilities Kingston responds when your water service line freezes. Carl explains the key components involved under ground, the plumbing set-up you will need inside your home, when to call a plumber and why. This will help reduce the impact if your service line freezes.
The City of Kingston emergency management plan suggests that each household has at the ready four litres of fresh water, per person, per day for drinking and bathing.
Know the number to call: report utility emergencies to us by calling our 24-hour line at 613-546-1181.

Though plagued by supply shortfalls, LA County maps COVID vaccine strategy
Supervisors pushed forward on the county's under-construction vaccination strategy by tapping neighboring cities, community centers and school campuses around the region.

By Ryan Carter | rcarter@scng.com | Daily News
Los Angeles County supervisors aim to make the mammoth task of delivering millions of vaccines equitable, accessible and brisk — but the enduring lack of doses still prevent their ambitious plans from truly shifting into gear.
Supervisors nonetheless responded to lingering confusion about first and second doses, as well as concerns about access for low-income residents, in communities of color and among technology-challenged senior citizens by pushing forward on the county's under-construction vaccination strategy by tapping neighboring cities, community centers and school campuses around the region.
Elected officials and top health leaders have been increasingly raising the alarm about inadequate supplies and the need for earlier and more reliable estimates of how much vaccine is on the way.
In response, the Biden administration said Tuesday it plans to buy another 100 million doses each from drugmakers Pfizer and Moderna. Even more vaccine could be available if federal scientists approve a single-dose shot from Johnson & Johnson, which is expected to seek emergency authorization in the coming weeks.
"We need to build a very large and flexible vaccination program for L.A. County," said the county's public health chief Barbara Ferrer. Ferrer and various board members expressed optimism that Biden's team will be more transparent about future supply, which could also make distribution more efficient and plotted deeper into the calendar.
The board's action came amid an atmosphere of optimism and tension as the county opened up hair and nail salons Wednesday and braced for a huge wave of openings on Friday, including the return of outdoor dining. Cardroom casinos, recreational facilities, zoos and aquariums will be allowed to open outdoors, all at 50% capacity. The county still requires non-essential retail businesses to be closed between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., but that restriction may be lifted Friday when the new health order is released.
The county's virus statistics — while still at heightened levels that are deeply taxing thin local hospital staffing, space and resources — are gradually grinding downward.
Hospitalizations slipped to 6,213 according to the state dashboard, down by almost 100 from Monday and significantly lower than the recent peak of more than 8,000, with about a quarter of patients in intensive-care units.
The county reported 291 COVID-19 deaths Tuesday, lifting the countywide toll to 15,592, and 5,927 new cases, for a pandemic-wide total of 1,085,044.
The daily county update did not include the latest totals from Pasadena and Long Beach, which operate their own health departments. Long Beach's death toll surpassed 600, climbing to 618, and the city reported 356 more coronavirus cases, for a total of 46,833 — meaning about 10% of the city's population has tested positive for the virus at some point. Pasadena's 88 new cases raised its total to 9,944, but its death toll remained at 237.
"We still have a lot of people in our hospitals," Ferrer said. "We still have a lot people passing infections from themselves to others. And unfortunately, we're going to see a lot more people dying in the next few weeks."
"We're not out of the woods," said Supervisor Kathryn Barger. "We cannot let our guard down. Vaccinations are only one component to controlling the coronavirus in our communities."
Battling sluggish supply
After the county's vaccination portal, VaccinateLACounty.com, was marred by technical issues and residents unable to book appointments last week, county officials announced Monday that the portal has since incorporated the state's new registration platform, MyTurn. The site appeared to be more functional, but visitors were still likely to be disappointed by the thin supply of doses. For those without internet connection or have trouble navigating the site, dialing the county's hotline 833-540-0473 was offered as an option.
Ferrer said more than 300 sites across the county are registered to distribute vaccines, but only a fraction of them are up and running, because there's such sparse supply.
The board approved two motions that start to forge future phases of the rollout: One that would prompt partnerships with surrounding cities and agencies to allocate vaccine, and another to partner with local school districts to serve as vaccination sites.
Their actions Tuesday do not mean an immediate shift in who is being vaccinated. Currently, only the county's 800,000 healthcare workers and the 1.3 million people over 65 are eligible. It's unclear when that list will widen.

The rollout of Phase 1A has been plagued by shortfalls in dosages arriving from the federal government, distribution issues and confusion over who can get vaccinated.
Locally, officials have said they hope to begin vaccinates for Phase 1B in February. But timelines are tenuous. The first tier of that group includes education and childcare workers, emergency services workers and food and agriculture crews.
The board's action — motioned by Supervisors Janice Hahn and Kathryn Barger — directs the County Emergency Operations Center to coordinate with the Department of Public Health and local cities and other community agencies, to provide a vaccination plan for Phase 1B. The plan would come back to the Board in two weeks for approval.
Throughout the pandemic's lifespan, the lack of coordination among agencies has spurred continual critique from local officials — with questions over why federal and local authorities don't seem to be on the same page. On Tuesday, several local cities and agencies welcomed the beefed -up planning effort.
Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia told the board that his city, which has its own health department, stands ready to help vaccinate residents in surrounding cities.
"We would love the county to consider allocating its vaccine for the cities around us," Garcia said.
Garcia's city was instrumental in distributing virus testing earlier on in pandemic to such places as its tiny neighbor, Signal Hill.
Schools in soon
Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Austin Beutner told the board that school sites can be hubs of trust.
"While supplies may be today's problem, tomorrow's will become access and trust," he said, "and we believe school-based efforts can help provide access, equity and build the trust and support of the communit."
Since early in the pandemic, Beutner has maintained that more than 1,400 LAUSD school sites are "uniquely situated," particularly in areas that may otherwise lack access to healthcare.
And, Beutner added, they have accessible existing infrastructure — including such features as electricity, restrooms, sprawling open areas and school-based, licensed vaccination clinics — that would support a mass effort.
Officials said 11 LAUSD sites could be ready within weeks to vaccinate people 65 and older, and dozens more ultimately could be tapped to inoculate their own staffs and members of surrounding communities when they are eligible.
Second doses
Ferrer was supportive of the projected efforts, but told supervisors the future is still uncertain until more product consistently rolls in.
"Patience is going to be required because we just don't have enough doses," she said.
And about two thirds of the allotment the county is getting must be devoted to provide the required second doses for people who got their initial shots around three weeks ago, Ferrer said.
Supervisors relayed stories from constituents confused about whether they'd ever be able to get a second dose. Many people vaccinated once at a local mega-clinic didn't get a specific date to return for second dose, she said.
The glitch appeared to affect those who received inoculations on the first day of operation at the county's five mass pod centers — but it has since been fixed, she said.
On-site staffers now uniformly make sure each person vaccinated leaves with a return date for a second dose, Ferrer maintained.
Equity/Accessibility
Many worried aloud of reaching communities where lack of trust could be a challenge.
Supervisor Holly Mitchell voiced concern about reports that that African-Amerian employees of the Department of Health Services were on the whole showing less acceptance to receive the vaccine.
Vaccines to Africa must have good shelf lives, says expert
Dr. Christina Ghaly said the reluctance was "understandable" in communities traditionally marginalized, where adequate access to healthcare has always been difficult.
Ghaly and Ferrer said such resistance should be met with understanding and better messaging going forward.
Officials said opening up the school sites could open trusted hubs, closer to home that would make it easier for people in vulnerable groups — including homebound seniors — to get vaccinated.
Ferrer also pointed to the need to tap independent pharmacists to help dole out vaccine in communities where brand-name pharmacies are sparse.
Leaders nudged the Public Health Department to incorporate free and low-cost transit options. ANd obile, pop-up teams — akin to mobile coronavirus testing teams — were urged to get vaccines to harder-to-reach residents.

The Print, Map & Photograph Collections of the Staten Island Museum…
In 1969, the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences (now the Staten Island Museum) published the pamphlet Print, Map & Photograph Collections. Librarian Gail Schneider was responsible for the publication. It is a wonderful missive that describes the above collections and it is a handy reference to these formats. This publication coincided with cataloguing the History Collection of the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences. Another important person involved with these efforts was historian Hugh Powell.
Print, Map & Photograph Collections, cover, 1969.
The oldest photos of Staten Island were taken by H. Hoyer. He had a studio in Tompkinsville in 1859. According to the pamphlet "Hoyer began compiling a series of stereo views of the typical village scenes and rural areas of the island. On August 10, 1859, he advertised that he had a large collection of these views available for sale at $3.50 per dozen." Sad to say, not many have survived, but those that have are the earliest photos taken on the island.
John J. Crooke, circa 1866.
The next oldest photo collection at the Staten Island Museum is referred to as the John J. Crooke Collection. Crooke photographed on the island from 1860-1875. He took pictures of his family, himself, the area around his Great Kills Estate, and elsewhere. Many have a natural history theme.
In all there were ninety-eight photographers in the Museum's Archives circa 1969. Forty-three of these individuals were local. There are ambrotypes, daguerreotypes, carte-de-visite, tin-types, postcards, and much more in the collection. The largest collection of photos was taken by William T. Davis. He began photographing in 1900 and he did not stop for forty years.
Hugh Powell, 2013.
For further information on Staten Island photographers of the past I would suggest consulting the Hugh Powell Collection at the Archives of the Staten Island Museum when it reopens. Hugh did a phenomenal amount of research on this topic. This includes Mathew Brady and his relationship to Staten Island.
For further information contact Gabriella Leone at the Archives of the Staten Island Museum. When the museum reopens she can be reached at 718-727-1135.

Hi! My name is Noah Burke and I am from the Southeast Family YMCA of Greater Louisville. I was born and raised in Louisville but am happy to claim rural and eastern Kentucky as my homes as well with much of my extended family residing there. I am currently a junior at the University of Louisville, pursuing a philosophy degree with the intention of advancing to seminary after graduating from UofL. Outside of my classes, I am on the leadership team for the UofL Baptist Campus Ministry, work multiple jobs, co-advise my home Leaders' Club, and write as much as I can, both for my blog and for my books.
I owe a lot of my drive to the school that is Blue Ridge. With so many profound and enjoyable things, it is never easy to choose something as my favorite thing. From the Ultimate Frisbee class to Feeling Great with Stephen Kaye, and on to Image 101. Moreover, how could I forget the sixth year classes? It is easy to say this school has shaped who I have become but if anything Stephen Kaye deserves credit for playing a major role in that.
My first year at the school I had no idea what to expect, being from a club of three people. I was nervous and unsure. Feeling Great changed that; it broke down the bubble I had put between myself and the world so completely that I was left vulnerable in a profound way. There is no safer place to break down that comfort zone. I walked out of that class realizing that I felt so great because I was freed from the weight of fitting in or being anyone other than myself and who I wanted to be. I learned what it meant to support someone else, physically and mentally, and I became myself, thanks to Stephen Kaye.

SOLOS Teams Up with USA Cycling and Sets Sights on Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games
by Michael Hatamoto	| Posted on April 20, 2018 April 21, 2018
Press Release – Monterey, CA (Sea Otter Classic Booth #590) – April 20, 2018 – Kopin Corp. (NASDAQ: KOPN) SOLOS®, a unit of Kopin Corporation, is proud to announce it has renewed its partnership with USA Cycling through the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games as the official smart glasses partner. SOLOS smart glasses, the first augmented reality sports performance glasses developed with the USA Cycling team, were used by the Women's Pursuit Team who won silver medals at the Rio Olympic Games. Once again, SOLOS will serve as a tool for the team's training and insights as the team races toward success in Tokyo 2020.
SOLOS Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Tom Futch, said, "This partnership with USA Cycling is an amazing opportunity to connect directly with an incredible group of people who are passionate about cycling. We look forward to working closely with USA Cycling athletes and members to elevate their experience over the next several years through groundbreaking technology, support and initiatives."
"SOLOS smart glasses continue to play a key role in our team's performance as we look towards Tokyo 2020," said Scott Schnitzspahn, Vice President of Elite Athletics at USA Cycling. "Our Women's Pursuit Team brought home the silver at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the gold at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships last month. As we explore ways to utilize the smart glasses across additional disciplines, we are looking forward to working with SOLOS to find the best ways for our National Team athletes and coaches to use the technology for winning medals at the highest levels."
"The USA Cycling team relationship has been invaluable during the development of SOLOS smart glasses," said Ernesto Martinez-Villalpando, Head of SOLOS and Advisor to Kopin's CEO. "We worked closely with the team and coaches to discover how SOLOS could impact speed, power output, endurance and far more. The design and functions of SOLOS are deeply rooted in athletes' feedback, and the insights we gained from the team positively impacted our new generation of SOLOS smart glasses."
"I'm excited that SOLOS is extending its relationship with USAC to go beyond the track and introduce this amazing technology to cyclists on the road, cyclocross and mountain bike, as well," said Phil Gaimon, SOLOS athlete and 2017 USAC National Hill Climb Champion (pictured above).
As part of this partnership extension, SOLOS is proud to offer a $100 introductory discount to USA Cycling members. This will allow athletes at any level to equip themselves with Solos Smart Glasses and its innovative technology as well as the aerodynamic smart glass design. USAC members should log in to their membership portal and visit the "Benefits" tab to learn more and take advantage of this offer.
Mike's Thoughts: Technology will be on full display during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, as Japan will use international attention to demonstrate its latest generation of products. Electronics manufacturer Kopin with its SOLOS unit recently announced a new partnership with USA Cycling – through the Olympics in Tokyo in a couple of years – and will serve as the team's official smart glasses partner.
Connected products geared towards athletes are becoming more common, though smart glasses certainly aren't for every rider.
