The current study presents the characterization of three types of materials after exposure to solar UV radiation. The selection of the materials is related to socio-economic aspects and rural activities in the northwest of Argentina (a.k.a. NOA). The objective was to establish a time parameter that allows estimating the durability of the materials according to their use. One of the materials is used as a protective cover (polyethylene film) of greenhouses, which are used for crop cultivation in the area. Another material is used in photovoltaic modules (PVMs), which are used to supply energy in isolated areas and the third material is sunscreen used by people that are exposed to UV radiation during rural activities. Degradation or deterioration of the materials was monitored using different spectroscopic assays: infrared was used to detect any structural changes in the material, X-rays were used for possible changes in the crystalline structure of the material, and spectral transmittance as this property is likely to be affected by changes in the structure of the material. The results showed that degradation of polyethylene seems to be related to the diminution in transparency and the loss of mechanical resistance with increasing exposure time. The decrease in transparency of one of the layers of a PVM caused a considerable decrease in the energy generated, whereas the sunscreens with a low sun protection factor (SPF) rapidly lost their protective properties and changed their photostability properties. Our results revealed a relationship between relative transmittance loss and exposure timse, which allows estimating the stability of different materials.

At 0230 hrs a strong fighting patrol from Letter B Coy under comd A/Maj Priday with Lieut. Fox in comd of the assault pl made a raid on an enemy pl posn in wood at 147747, with the intention of inflicting the maximum casualties on the enemy and then withdrawing. Unfortunately during the preparation some mortar bombs fell amongst the fire party and caused 4 casualties including Maj Priday and Capt Mertons F.O.O., this rather shook up the party and reduced the effectiveness of the supporting fire, with the result that when the Bangalore party came under MG fire, they were unable to put the torpedoes under the wire which was found to be much stronger than anticipated. The enemy MG was not neutralised and a section post was attacked with 36 and 77 grenades, as in the circumstances it was not possible to get inside the wire. Lt. Fox decided to withdraw, one casualty was received from S.A. fire and it was not possible to ascertain how many casualties were inflicted on the enemy. It rained heavily throughout the day, many of the slit trenches becoming waterlogged and the Regt's area resembled a quagmire whenever any movement was being made. The Regt was reinforced by three officers, Capt [Gadbles?], Lieut Preston and Lieut Ledsome. The Div Comd Major Gen R Gale visited the Regt this morning and the arrival of 'NAAFI packs' relieves the cigarettes situation.
1944 - 1st Buckinghamshire Battalion - NORMANDY
At the beginning of July a fit and well-fed German soldier who had had an excellent view of our beaches for the past three weeks was found in a house at Lion.
In consequence No. 101 Beach Sub-Area decided that a methodical search should, be undertaken of all houses between Luc-sur-Mer and Riva Bella. It may seem strange that this had not been done before, but many of the houses were surrounded by minefields composed of old French box mines laid by the Germans and considered most dangerous to lift.
The Battalion began this search at Luc-sur-Mer on the 3rd July. A and D Companies, each with a platoon of C Company under command, carried out the task. Many civilians were detained and questioned, but none was considered suspect by the field security police, a section of which assisted the rifle companies in the search.

LET'S NEGOTIATE SECTION 85 TO PROTECT COMMUNITY VOICES IN CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS
'Mabataung Secker – Peace Education Reseacher DPE
Development for Peace Education (DPE) held a dialogue session at the 20th LCN-NGO week on Wednesday 12th December 2019 at 'Manthabiseng Convection Centres on the topic Negotiating Section 85 of the Constitution. The organisation has been persistent in the Lesotho reforms processes to facilitate inclusiveness, people driven, participatory and non-elitist reforms. The organisation engaged directly with the reforms processes and even led other CSOs in these processes.
Given the background DPE conceptualised the reforms process and has been instrumental in the civil society proposals to unblock reforms barriers. Coming back home of leaders from exile, establishment of the National Dialogue Planning Committee(NDPC) which came in to facilitate dialogue on reforms when government and opposition were in disagreement, establishment of the National Reforms Authority to shepherd the process post dialogue stage and various public awareness and mobilisation activities are but few examples of direct and indirect influence of the organisation in the process. In the similar vein of promoting dialogue on issues which may otherwise cause setback, DPE organised a session on the Section 85 of the Constitution of Lesotho. This section regulates amendments to the constitution, and it categorises all sections into three for the purposes of amendment;
Sections that can be amended by simple majority
Sections that need two thirds majority support of each House failure of which shall necessitate referendum and
Sections that need two thirds majority support in both Houses for them to be subjected to the referendum.
DPE believes that as Basotho prepare for the NRA, critical questions like popular versus parliamentary supremacy in determining what the constitution contains and whether a new process of public consultation in the form of referendum would be necessary or the consultations be for the purposes of reforms regarded as adequate should be taken head on.
Prof; Hoolo 'Nyane
Ambassador Kelebone Maope KC
Prof; Hoolo 'Nyane and Ambassador Kelebone Maope KC (experts in law) engaged with this section for the purposes of debates. Professor 'Nyane stated that role of parliament in the constitutional amendment may not be circumvented and the idea that consultations be deemed as referendum may not be thoroughly exhausted in the absence of the referendum law. Since the Section is operationalised by referendum law, there is no way this idea can be entertained in the absence of that law.
Ambassador Maope on the other hand believed that the proposition from DPE is ideal though it needs to be in line with the constitution and referendum law needs to be in place. He further stated that he supports that the Constitution be overhauled because public views are too many, except that he fears that such an exercise may track for ever. In the military regime it was easy because the military wanted to return to the civilian rule. One of the participants Hon. Lekhetho Rakuoane raised a point that there is a need for amendment of this section for the purpose of a finer constitution. Another participant from CSOs Thabang Maphuroane proposed that Basotho should negotiate hanging this section to allow reforms processes as even the SADC in most cases compels our leaders /parliament to toe the line. Hon Deputy President stated that parliament represents the people and it should not be seen as threat as it will provide feedback to the people.
Participants included development partners, political parties, members of Parliament both Houses, youth, CSOs, academia, NDPC, and PS Law.

Indiana man attacks after son in diaper points gun at people
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The father of a diaper-clad 4-year-old boy who was seen pointing a loaded handgun at people outside their Indiana home last weekend is now facing a felony charge.
The Marion County Attorney's Office said Wednesday that the 45-year-old man was charged Tuesday with two counts of neglect of a loved one and one count of dangerous control of a firearm. He is scheduled to appear in court for a first hearing on Thursday.
Online court records do not list an attorney who could speak on behalf of the man, whom The Associated Press does not name to protect the child's privacy. Michael Leffler, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office, confirmed on Wednesday that the defendant is the boy's father.
Court documents say the man, a convicted felon released on bail in a pending domestic battery case, "had an unsecured and loaded firearm at his home." The documents add that he "poses a direct threat to the well-being of his child, his neighbors and their children through his careless and careless actions."
According to a probable cause affidavit filed with the indictment, the boy was in the care of his father while the mother was ill and living elsewhere. Officers were called to a housing complex in Beech Grove, an Indianapolis suburb, on Saturday night because a young boy, wearing only a diaper, "had a chrome-plated handgun and was pointing it at people."
Officers went to an apartment and a 4-year-old boy answered the door for officers with no adult in sight. After an officer repeatedly called someone inside, officers entered and saw the man, wearing only his underwear, down a hallway who appeared to have just been woken up by officers, authorities said.
The man told officers he was ill and didn't know his son had left the home. He also said there was no firearm in the home and his son did not have a toy gun. The man assisted officers in a "rash search" of the home, and no firearm was found, authorities said.
As officers exited the apartment, a neighbor played them security camera video showing the boy walking around the top landing of the apartment building "with a silver-and-black pistol," the affidavit said.
When officers told the man about the video, he told them that while he didn't have a gun, "a relative may have left one at the home." Authorities didn't find the gun until an officer "asked the child where he put his toy while he was showing his hand in the shape of a gun," the affidavit said.
The child then walked over to a rolling table in the living room and pointed to it. According to the affidavit, the officer opened the desk's roller shutter, "revealing a silver-and-black handgun lying on the desk," which appeared to be the one officers saw in the video.
The gun was determined to be a Smith & Wesson 9mm pistol, and although there were no cartridges chambered in the gun, it contained "15 live rounds in the magazine," the affidavit said Explanation.
The man then told officers the gun belonged to a cousin "who sometimes left the gun at the home when he felt mentally unstable," the affidavit said. The man said he didn't know his cousin's address or phone number.
Marion County Attorney Ryan Mears said in a statement Wednesday that "the alleged conduct is an egregious example of the importance of keeping guns safe."
"Too many children in our community are at risk from irresponsible gun ownership," he added.

How the Great Recession Has Changed Life in America
II. An Historical Perspective
Modern-era recessions in the U.S. have generally been less severe than those of the 19th and early 20th centuries. But this one stands out for two features that, taken together, validate its by-now-familiar designation as the worst recession since the Great Depression.
The Surge in Long-term Unemployment: The typical unemployed worker today has been out of work for nearly six months (23.2 weeks). This is almost double the previous post-World War II peak for this measure—12.3 weeks—in 1982-83. Long-term unemployment of this magnitude and duration raises a vexing question: Beyond a "normal" cyclical downturn, might the U.S. economy be going through some long-term structural changes that will lead to relatively high rates of unemployment for years to come?
The Meltdown in Household Wealth: This recession has eroded more household wealth than any other episode in the post-World War II era—not surprising in that it was triggered by the bursting of bubbles in both the housing and stock markets, the two principal sources of household wealth. According to the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics (PSID) 3 , median household wealth decreased by an estimated 19% from 2007 to 2009. On a percentage basis, this loss of wealth was greater among middle-income households than among those in either the lower or upper income tiers. Similarly, it took a much bigger percentage bite out of the (relatively modest) wealth of black and Hispanic households than of white households.
Two-and-a-half years after this recession began, it's easier to take stock of its effects than to be certain of its duration. The nation's gross domestic product has been registering gains for nearly a year, leading some economists to asse
rt that the recession is already over—and has been for some time. But with the nation's overall unemployment rate remaining stubbornly high—9.7% as of May 2010—the quasi-official arbiters of the nation's business cycles at the National Bureau of Economic Research4. The NBER is a private, not-for-profit economic research organization based in Cambridge, Mass. It counts more than 1,000 professors of economics among its research associates. Since forming its Business Cycle Dating Committee in 1978, it has been the quasi-official arbiter of the timing of expansions and recessions in the U.S. economy.] (NBER) have yet to declare that it is over. To further complicate matters, this doesn't necessarily mean it isn't over. Because of the way the NBER operates, there is often a lag time of a year or more between its declaration of the end of a recession and the date that recession is retrospectively said to have ended. (For details, see Chapter 2).
PSID, started in 1968, is a longitudinal study of U.S. families, that is, it follows the same families and individual members of those families over time. It features an oversample of low-income families. The original sample size was about 4,800 families, and it has grown since to about 8,000 families today. A refresher sample of immigrant families was added in 1997 to keep the study representative of the U.S. population. The study is conducted at the Survey Research Center, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan. ↩

GeForce RTX 3060 Announced, With the Mainstream GPU Available Late February
As part of the GeForce RTX 3060 announcement made overnight, NVIDIA was quick to make comparisons to both its predecessor the RTX 2060 and its Pascal counterpart the GeForce GTX 1060. And for good reason, as per Steam hardware charts the 1060 is the most popular mainstream GPU on the planet -- something the RTX 3060 is no doubt eyeing.
Compared to the 1060 the RTX 3060, based on NVIDIA's new Ampere architecture, reportedly offers twice the raster performance and 10x the ray-tracing performance. Though on that note, the 1060 was never meant for ray-tracing - so this claim is a little weird.
But, it also makes sense in that ray-tracing and NVIDIA's own DLSS is starting to show up more and more in modern titles -- and that's stuff where Ampere excels thanks to next-gen versions of the RT and Tensor Cores. As seen in Cyberpunk 2077, Watch Dogs: Legion, Call of Duty, Fortnite, Control, and others -- DLSS is something of a magic trick in how it can improve performance.
With all of NVIDIA's latest GPU announcements its internal benchmarks and performance indicators have so far been on point, so the below chart should be an accurate predictor of how the RTX 3060 ends up performing. A noticeable improvement over the RTX 2060 and a massive jump over the 1060. With the RTX 3060 being the new 1080p 60fps card for modern games.
With the price starting at $329 USD there are some notable differences, spec-wise, when compared to the recent release of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ($399 USD). The RTX 3060 Cuda Core count sits at 3,584 compared to the RTX 3060 Ti's 4,864. Though the RTX 3060 features a higher Boost Clock speed of 1.78 GHz and 12 GBs of GDDR6 memory versus the 8GB in the 3060 Ti. As per reviews for the impressive Ampere line-up, one of the criticisms has been a lack of VRAM capacity compared to the competition -- that is outside of the RTX 3090's whopping 24GB of GDDR6X.
In a conference call with media NVIDIA did note that the RTX 3060s 192-bit memory bus influenced this decision where the option was to go with either 6GB or 12GB -- with the team deciding on the latter. No doubt the better option for consumers. Though seeing 8GB in the 3060 Ti does confuse things.
With its late February 2021 release the GeForce RTX 3060 won't be getting a Founders Edition though cards will hit the market from the usual gang - MSI, Gigabyte, Zotac, ASUS, and others. No word on local pricing, but we'll have more info on the RTX 3060 (including performance) as we get closer to release.

[This is the second in a series of dispatches relating to the New Directors/New Films series, running between March 24, 2010 and April 4, 2010 at MOMA and the Film Society of Lincoln Center.]
"You must always be yourself, no matter what the price." — Candy Darling's diary
Candy Darling — born James L. Slattery — was arguably the most intriguing of Andy Warhol's fearless thespians. She was not only talented enough to dupe The New York Times's critical acumen ("this is the first impersonation of a female impersonator I have ever seen," read one of the Gray Lady's reviews), but she inspired Lou Reed to write one of his most famous songs and Tennessee William wrote Small Craft Warnings for her. But was Darling, who died of lymphoma at the needlessly young age of 29, truly herself even while charming the thriving New York art scene of the late 1960s and early 1970s?
A fascinating new documentary, Beautiful Darling, produced by Darling's friend Jeremiah Newton, doesn't entirely answer this question. But it does offer an invaluable perspective on what it was like to struggle as a transsexual during that time. If the film errs on the side of cautious hagiography, it atones for this understandable partisanship by highlighting some too easily forgotten truths, pointing to certain liberties and folkways now taken for granted. Female impersonation was a dangerous criminal charge during the time, considered an indecent aberration that was doggedly upheld by the police. Drag queens were forced to carry their sartorial bundles during the day and change clandestinely within buildings. The empowering compromise one could get away with, as identified in the film by Agosto Machado, was "a little mascara and a mohair coat." Triumphant bon vivants would happily shout the name of Gay Street at the intersection of Christopher. New York, now a less tolerant playground for the rich, was then considered, as Fran Lebowitz suggests in the film, "a place for people who couldn't fit in. People who actually did something that nobody was interested in." Speed was heavily ingested. Bohos and misfits were often forced to find their meals at parties thrown by the affluently curious, taking home the remains for tomorrow's lunch.
Darling thrived within this harsh yet permissive climate, attracting a league of potential dates and hanging out in the permissive backroom of Max's Kansas City, where the squares couldn't make it past the velvet rope. But the seeds for this twentysomething transformation were sown in Massapequa Park, Long Island, where a young Darling waded through movie magazines, spent an entire day staring at a Kim Novak photo, and endured a nearly soul-crushing wave of isolation. In Beautiful Darling, the diary entries — the words solipsistic but uncompromising — are read by Chloe Sevigny. One harrowing photo that accompanies these narrations, showing a pre-Darling Slattery with a painful look on his face, his arm gripped by his mother, is more than enough to convey a sad backstory. Thankfully, additional details are filled in beyond these primary sources. Aside from the film's many interviews, which include numerous Factory acolytes and Warhol's decidedly unnerved former secretary, by Newton's many interviews in the mid-1970s, conducted after Darling's death. We learn that Darling's mother married another man who was anti-gay. An anonymous Long Island acquaintance declares her hatred for Darling, once she saw her adopting her truer identity.
But was Darling's identity genuine? Or some compromise? The film delicately tiptoes over these questions, but it does point to Warhol's eventual abandonment of Darling so that he can cash in on the forthcoming yuppie-fueled lucre. He later proved, as one former associate puts it, more interested in selling ads for Interview. Darling declares in her diary, "I'm not a genuine woman. But I'm not interested in genuineness." Yet Darling was driven to Warhol as a genuine benefactor. The Factory's obsessiveness with pop culture served as a vital surrogate for Hollywood, even if the remunerative pickings were slim (merely $25 to appear in a Warhol scene). There seemed no other place for Darling to thrive. But she was dogged enough to make this difficult situation work, even after being shunned by Warhol. She proudly boasted that she collected no money and would crash on friends' couches, sleeping until six or seven at night.
"I must conquer New York or be conquered," wrote Darling in her diaries. It was a daring ultimatum that seems unthinkable for most artists of her type today. After seeing this film, I wondered what Darling would have made of herself had she lived longer. Would she have been co-opted by marketing forces during the Reagan years? Would she have been shunned further? Darling claimed that she wanted to be loved, but one wonders whether the pop cultural construct and the tolerance would have expired. Beautiful Darling works so well because of the way it quietly reveals the unforgiving characters within alternative culture. If you write off or forget the misunderstood, or you're too busy designing soup cans or collecting corporate revenue, are you really all that different from a narrow-minded stockbroker?

'Graham Nash, David Crosby': The album that outlined David Crosby's artistry and antics
jasabacklink January 20, 2023 13 min read
Recorded a long time earlier than their notorious feud erupted, the joint debut of Graham Nash and David Crosby contained a prophetic have a look at the fractured relationship the pair would at some point have. It stays the album that defines the duality of David Crosby.
Tucked away within the large discographies of Nash and Crosby lies a discordant portent. It seems lengthy after their respective stints in The Hollies and The Byrds, and simply after their seminal work collectively in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Younger. Their 1972 launch, the eponymous Graham Nash David Crosby album, held in it the largest trace of all that their inventive partnership was doomed to fail however destined to briefly flourish.
The primary seeds have been sewn in San Francisco. Because the poets and hippies ushered within the Summer season of Love in 1967, the Bay turned a bohemian mecca. The air was thick with hash and the long-lasting San Franciscan sound. You could possibly hear it floating out of the home windows of low-cost pupil housing at midday, warmth suspending the songs mid-air whereas turntables crackled. Turning away from the scholar quarter, you might stroll the nook of California and Mason, and take within the weird structure of San Francisco's streets. Fittingly for a spot that rejected the orthodox, relatively than have the roads contour across the winding hills – San Francisco's streets went bullishly straight up and over them.
Down these steep streets, that very same sound would fizz within the air. Alongside the likes of Creedence Clearwater Revival and Nation Joe and The Fish – Crosby, Stills Nash & Younger managed to seize a sound and message that spoke to the frustrations of the burgeoning anti-Vietnam conflict motion. Their music was wealthy with melody and cosmic guitar riffs, a frenetic combination of rock, blues and folks. The second studio album the quartet launched in 1970 would turn out to be one of the crucial lauded rock albums in historical past, with Deja Vu not solely producing three Prime 40 singles, however amassing 8 million album gross sales worldwide.
Chatting with The Guardian, Crosby defined that there was a time within the band once they felt "all the pieces was going to alter subsequent week. We thought the conflict was going to cease and we have been going to get equality for individuals on this nation." That spirit is what Deju Vu captured, the urgency of flower-power idealism, wrapped up in four-part harmonies. From Golden Gate Park's panhandle, to the espresso outlets dotted alongside Haight Avenue, hippies dutifully nodded alongside to their cowl of Joni Mitchell's Woodstock: "Gonna take part a rock 'n' roll band / Acquired to get again to the land / Set my soul free."
Freedom got here rapidly and all of a sudden. In the identical summer season, Deja Vu went seven-time platinum, Crosby, Stills Nash & Younger cut up. The same old culprits have been accountable: an extra of expertise and chemical substances. Chatting with Rolling Stone, Neil Younger defined: "The factor is, all people – particularly David – is a controversial character. All people has an opinion."
Tales of artistic tensions have been rife lengthy earlier than the breakup was introduced and appeared virtually inevitable given their meteoric rise to fame following their break-out set at Woodstock. Peter Doggett, the author behind the 'CSNY: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Younger' biography blames a local weather of limitless adulation coupled with limitless self-regard. "All of this was being carried by 4 very younger males who have been, by their very natures, delicate and wounded," he explains. "It was a recipe for catastrophe from the beginning. Looking back, it's outstanding that any band of that period managed to outlive for greater than a few years below that type of pressure."
Going the best way of different doomed supergroups The Beatles and Cream earlier than them, all 4 have been forged adrift, triggering intervals of deep inventive introspection and a slew of debut solo albums. The aftermath noticed Stephen Stills type Southern rock outfit Manassas, and Neil Younger reconnect with former collaborators Loopy Horse. Each Nash and Crosby would launch debut solo albums in 1971, Songs for Newcomers and If I May Solely Bear in mind My Identify respectively. Then, only one yr later, compelled by the type of mutual obsession that may later outline their working relationship – they discovered their manner again to one another.
Every little thing in regards to the album felt like a clue that Nash and Crosby's relationship was unsustainable. The selection to report their debut in Hyde Avenue's notorious Studio C was one of many first. Steeped in a wealthy musical historical past, Jefferson Airplane have been rumoured to have christened the studio earlier than it even opened, Grace Slick's shaking vibrato baptising the monitoring room. Returning to San Francisco's Studio C felt emblematic of chasing former glory—as if returning to the identical studio the place Deju Vu was made was one way or the other a part of the components. However by the point the pair determined to return in 1972, San Francisco had already turn out to be a spot so invested in its cultural legacy that the current merely couldn't compete.
"All of the magic of the Summer season of Love was gone," recollects photographer Dave Glass. A life-long documentarian and road photographer of San Francisco's Western Addition, Glass left town in its heyday to keep away from army service in Vietnam. Upon his return in 1972, he discovered the streets as soon as lined with technicolour camper vans have been now filled with boarded-up storefronts. Within the absence of CSN&Y, some persistent settlers from '67 tried a renaissance, crowning the Grateful Useless as the brand new countercultural icons of the second.
"After I received again to the US, I saved seeing this huge caricature of a spherical yellow smiling face in every single place, with 'have a pleasant day' written beneath it," he recollects. For the persistent Deadheads, it was a commandment as a lot as a mantra—a manner of reassuring the hangers-on that the nice occasions have been right here to remain. However in actuality, it was a demise knell for the Summer season of Love and its musical legacy. The phrase itself is a farewell.
And but it had simply sufficient lure to ensnare Crosby and Nash to relish up to now as soon as extra. They enlisted assist from new stars of the second with The Grateful Useless's Invoice Kreutzmann, Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh lending a hand. Because the Useless's lead guitarist, Garcia particularly shines on the album. Regardless of solely showing on two songs, the introduction of his pedal metal guitar served to raise Crosby's psychedelic sensibilities, in addition to widening Nash and Crosby's market enchantment to the Useless's ardent followers.
Accompanying Garcia within the backing band was The Part, comprised of a number of the most in-demand session musicians of the time, having beforehand labored with the likes of Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon. "After I have a look at the names of all the blokes on the report, it was the cream of the crop," remembers Part bassist Leland Sklar. "It made all of it that extra eclectic to have so many names engaged on one album, it meant you'd have a few totally different flavoured rhythm sections and allowed us all to create such a novel sound." Surrounded by a stack of guitars, Sklar speaks emphatically as he recollects engaged on the album, his ZZ Prime-esque beard arising and down over Zoom from his native Los Angeles.

Alongside Part bandmates guitarist Danny Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel, and Craig Doerge, he walked into Studio C feeling each inch the artistic equal to Crosby and Nash. "As a result of The Part was such a unit, at any time when we labored with individuals, it was handled like we have been forming a band with the artist. We weren't simply employed assist." With Invoice Halverson on the helm engineering the album, Sklar felt technically snug, having labored with him earlier than on numerous tasks. Halverson was additionally the mastermind behind mixing the 4 vocals of Nash, Crosby, Stills and Younger that appeared on Deju Vu, so enlisting him as a co-producer appeared the plain alternative in Nash and Crosby's bid to recreate the magic of 1970.
There have been no prescribed chord sheets when The Part arrived, and everybody was invited to sketch out concepts they felt resonated with the writing. "It was very collaborative; they [Crosby and Nash] may need had a number of crucial licks they wished us to take a look at, but it surely was all very natural," provides Sklar. "It definitely wasn't laboured on. We'd head into the studio, and all people was simply so blissful to be taking part in there collectively that the remaining simply adopted. Their writing was so good that it was an absolute deal with simply to leap in and discover elements on it."
The true process wasn't within the recording, which was wrapped up in lower than two weeks (by the use of comparability, Deju Vuwas recorded over a staggering 800 hours). This might recommend that there was both a pure ease in recording Graham Nash/David Crosby – or that one thing important was lacking, a hurdle not even tried and creatively overcome. The true work started when making an attempt to mix Nash and Crosby's two very distinctive types. This division was simpler dealt with on Deju Vu, cowed into submission by the affect of Stills and Younger. With out them, their musical variations turned starker.
Having spent a number of years researching and interviewing the pair, Doggett explains that in inventive phrases, they might hardly be extra totally different. He describes Nash as "rudimentary for a musician, which fits his fashion as a songwriter. His trademark is directness, openness, honesty – the flexibility to conjure poetry out of utmost simplicity." Crosby nonetheless, Doggett credit because the much more proficient performer. "You'll be able to hear within the early Byrds information what a superb rhythm guitarist he was, even again within the early days. His music is rather more refined, and rooted in jazz. He would all the time shoot for an sudden chord change or an indirect lyrical picture. Whereas Nash was proud of probably the most fundamental of metaphors."
Having labored with the pair in earlier incarnations, Sklar was truly drawn to the range they confirmed musically. "To me," he explains, "the disparate nature of the album highlights what makes them fascinating as a duo. They're each very totally different writers, sonically and emotionally. Their voices are so totally different. However I can see why some individuals have a look at that and need extra continuity." The temper within the studio would usually change too, relying on what track was being recorded; as a result of Crosby all the time favoured the modal, moodier introspective stuff, whereas Nash was much more effusive and open in his writing. Finally, these two types proved exhausting to marry.
There was an off-kilter synergy in understanding their respective types may by no means be blended, so Nash and Crosby merely alternated songs. Of the 11 tracks, Nash wrote six songs, and Crosby 5. This afforded them the much-needed house to breathe. Nash opens the album with 'Southbound Prepare', the affect of Neil Younger oozing into the bluesy Americana sound. Harking back to early Bob Dylan, Nash depends on a easy three-cord construction, lifting the track into folky heights with the addition of his harmonica. Crosby creates his personal soundscape on tracks like 'Complete Fabric' and 'Web page 43', which have been tinged with notes of psychedelic jazz and replete with dreamlike rambles. They reside distinctly exterior the southern-rock remit that Nash was most conversant in. Moderately than coax one another out of their consolation zones, this album noticed them retreat independently.
Although most followers delighted in seeing the 2 former CSNY powerhouses reunite in any type, some critics felt it created a disparate album, forcing two musical worlds collectively regardless of being so recognisably totally different from track to track. Within the uncommon moments when their voices intertwined, like on 'Video games', they received near recreating the unmistakable harmonies that made Deju Vu a convincing success, however fall brief of their absence. Ham-fisting their two distinctive types into one album was divisive, giving the album a discordant really feel. This was fodder for critics questioning the previous guard.
Worse than being totally panned by critics, the album was merely dismissed as being merely effective by followers. The pair's earlier contributions to CSNY's single 'Ohio' resonated a lot with the counterculture that Richard Nixon himself criticized it, this drew nothing of the type. The problem wasn't that Crosby and Nash had turn out to be dangerous musicians, it was that their output had turn out to be fractured and forgettable as a result of they couldn't co-exist on the identical songs. With the height years of countercultural resistance behind them and Nixon priming for his second time period as US President, the album additionally lacked the robust political message that made Deju Vu so impactful.
Doggett, nonetheless, believes the album displays greater than the delicate inventive partnership of Nash and Crosby. He argues that whereas it failed to supply one coherent sound, it captured one thing else totally. "It was the final offshoot of a outstanding interval of musical cooperation throughout the San Francisco rock elite," says Doggett. "It displays a time when gamers from half a dozen totally different bands would lend one another their abilities as in the event that they have been all a part of one big collective. It was a magical second in rock historical past, by no means to be replicated once more." Crosby was a central cog on this collective machine.
The album cowl itself was a celebration of a uncommon time in their very own historical past, the place the pair have been in a uncommon of non-public contentment with each other. Shot by photographer Joel Bernstein, the duvet artwork sees the 2 floating amongst a sea of black, endlessly cementing them in a time the place they might stand to be in the identical room. Captured earlier than all the non-public strife took over, they stand smiling collectively. Nash seems to be waving goodbye within the image, with David clinging to his shoulder. Life imitates artwork in some sense, as years later Nash could be the one to name time on their friendship, with Crosby making many extremely publicised makes an attempt to cling on and salvage it.
Outdoors of their turbulent friendship, romantic relationships had lengthy dominated the artistic technique of each Nash and Crosby. A part of the emotional poignancy of Deju Vu stemmed from the band's means to capitalise on their very own heartbreak, and when Crosby's girlfriend tragically died in a automobile accident, all of the anguish bled by into the music. The 1972 album is not any exception to the affect of affection, with the within sleeve studying: 'to Miss Mitchell', a dedication to Nash's then-girlfriend and muse Joni Mitchell, who additionally occurred to be Crosby's former associate, such was the best way of issues within the '60s.
It follows then, that the one public glimpse as to why Nash and Crosby lastly minimize ties would revolve round ladies. When an interview with Crosby surfaced in 2014, during which he known as his ex-bandmates Neil Younger's spouse Daryl Hannah a "purely toxic predator," it was the ultimate straw for Nash.
Crosby tried a public apology to Younger on The Howard Stern Present. He fairly dismissively mentioned: "I'm actually sorry I shot my mouth off about your girlfriend. I actually am. However we've all been horrible to one another over time." Nash's frustration at this weak response was palpable, and in an explosive interview with Dutch outlet Lust for Life in 2016, he sealed the destiny on any potential reunions that includes Crosby. "David has ripped the center out of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Younger," he mentioned, making it clear they might by no means seem on stage of their unique line-up if he was concerned. He went on to elucidate that Crosby had been "terrible for me the final two years, simply fucking terrible".
Nash's upset on Younger's behalf appeared real – but in addition coupled with comfort. Rumours of unstable artistic arguments had adopted the pair lengthy earlier than Crosby's feedback, and cryptically, Nash continued: "I've been there and saved his fucking ass for 45 years, and he handled me like shit. You'll be able to't try this to me. I'm achieved. Fuck you." Apart from weighing in on Crosby's feedback about Hannah, Nash has remained steadfast in conserving their disagreements non-public. He wasn't compelled to disclose all of the intimate particulars and turmoil he and Crosby went by over time, as a result of Crosby had inadvertently supplied the proper excuse for him to nix any hopes of a reconciliation.
Over fifty years on from the unique 1972 launch of Graham Nash David Crosby, the inevitability of their fall-out is nearly staggering. It appears surprisingly prophetic that they struggled so exhausting to musically co-exist, they merely couldn't on their very own debut album. Woven all through the report are hints that the pair couldn't get previous their very own variations. As Nash sings pleadingly on 'Frozen Smiles': "All of the fakin' of your friendship doesn't make it anyway / Does it get you off to behave so on their lonesome?", it appears it was apparent to him all alongside the place he and Crosby would at some point stand.
Nonetheless, the report remains to be there to show that the friendship as soon as existed. That alone is a paradigm of the late David Crosby. He was paradoxically difficult and but all the time striving for group and collaboration. On this sense he virtually defines the counterculture motion—he was prickly past the artwork itself, but it surely was artwork that he was all the time involved with, by it he discovered concord and dissonance. As he put it himself: "Music is love."

Your films and your legacy will live on forever and you will always remain in our hearts. We are all so proud of you and you will continue to inspire us all for generations. Sleep well Darren and keep on dreaming. Love you always… Your family X
"Everyone of us has their struggles, but like an Iceberg we never know how deep they may be. Take your time to care, to reach out, even if it is with a complete stranger you never know the difference it might make" (Darren's tribute to Robin Williams)
In 1989 I met a young and shy Darren Shahlavi at one of my seminars in London, 20 years later we are battling on the set of Ip man 2. Twister had become a handsome, talented and outgoing man. RIP my friend. Condolences to his family. Donnie Yen-甄子丹 Official
Darren Shahlavi Martial Artists, Actor, Stuntman and Great Guy
Darren Shahlavi was an English martial artists, actor and stuntman. He was born on August 5, 1972 in Stockport, Cheshire, England. Shahlavi is known for his bad guy roles in martial arts films such as Siu-Hung Leung's Bloodmoon (1997), Yuen Woo-ping's Tai Chi Boxer (1996) playing with Jacky Wu. He also starred in the Asian film series The Techno Warriors, and American films Hostile Environment (2000), Sometimes a Hero (2003), Legion of the Dead (2001) and in Olaf Ittenbach the cult horror classic Beyond the Limits (2003). In 2002 Shahlavi appeared opposite Eddie Murphy in Columbia pictures remake of I-Spy, and independent features The Final Cut (2014) with Robin Williams and the notorious Uwe Boll's film BloodRayne (2005) with Kristanna Loken and Ben Kingsley. He played Twister in Wilson Yip's Ip Man 2 (2010) with Donnie Yen and Sammo Kam-Bo Hung. He was in numerous television series. He played Kano in the Mortal Kombat: Legacy television Series (2011), Constantine Drakon in Arrow (2012) and in Metal Hurlant Chronicles (2012-2014).
Darren Shahlavi was seven years old when he began training in martial arts. Like so many others, he was inspired by Bruce Lee's films and other action movies including Star Wars. Even as a youngster, Shahlavi dreamed of being a movie actor and he would show up to his judo class, which took place at the old drama theatre in Manchester, England, early just to watch the actors who were rehearsing or performing plays.
When Darren was only seventeen years old, he attended a seminar to learn Hong Kong style fight choreography. The seminar was taught by Kung Fu star Donnie Yen. This seminar gave Darren the confidence to pursue working in Hong Kong movies hoping this would be the stepping stone to working in Hollywood. In the early 90's, a young Shahlavi moved to Hong Kong where he began his career as a stuntman. His first acting gig came under Director Woo-ping Yuen, who hired him to play Smith, the lead villain in the Kung Fu classic Tai Chi Chuan (1996). Numerous martial arts films followed, and Darren used his fighting skills as a stunt performer in studio blockbusters such as "Riddick", "Blade 3", "300", "Watchmen" and the "Night at the Museum" film. He also did supporting roles in Hollywood movies such as "I Spy" playing a boxer fighting Eddie Murphy, "The Final Cut" with Robin Williams, and guest star roles in TV shows such as "Sanctuary", "Human Target" and "Reaper."
In 2010, Darren Shahlavi returned to Hong Kong action films when he co-starred with Donnie Yen and Sammo Kam-Bo Hung in director Wilson Yip's Ip Man 2, the semi-biographical story of Bruce Lee's real life kung fu master, Ip Man. Shahlavi plays "The Twister" an evil British boxing champion. Following his success in Ip Man 2, Darren renewed his following with action film fans and he had the following films released in 2011, Born to Raise Hell opposite Steven Seagal, "Hangar 14" with Steve Austin as well as starring roles in the television movie Aladdin and the Curse of the Djinn and the Mortal Kombat television series for Warner Brothers.

Darren Shahlavi was currently playing Eric Sloane in Kickboxer: Vengeance (2015) and Goran in Pound of Flesh with Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Darren Shahlavi had Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular disease which caused him to have a sudden heart attack. He had no drugs or medications of any kind in his body. He passed away in his sleep from natural causes on January 14, 2015. He was only 42 years old. RIP Darren Shahlavi, you will always be missed!!!

Background: Numerous similarities have been noted between gametogenic and tumorigenic programs in features such as global hypomethylation, immune evasion, immortalization, meiosis induction, and migration. In addition, aberrant expression of testis specific genes has been detected in various cancers which has led to categorization of these genes as "cancer-testis genes". Most of the examples identified in this category are protein encoding. However, recent studies have revealed that non-coding RNAs, including long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs), may have essential regulatory roles in telomere biology, chromatin dynamics, modulation of gene expression and genome structural organization. All of these functions are implicated in both gametogenic and tumorigenic programs. Methods: In the present study, we conducted a computerized search of the MEDLINE/PUBMED and Embase databases with the key words lncRNA, gametogenesis, testis and cancer. Results: We found a number of lncRNAs with essential roles and notable expression in both gametogenic and cancer tissues. Conclusions: Comparison between cancer tissues and gametogenic tissues has shown that numerous lncRNAs are expressed in both, playing similar roles in processes modulated by signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/AKT/mTOR. Evaluation of expression patterns and functions of these genes should pave the way to discovery of biomarkers for early detection, prognostic assessment and evaluation of therapeutic responses in cancers.

Notes on Cuba, literature and other chronic pains

The art (and consequences) of speaking in public →
Lars Von Trier: No Sympathy for Melancholy
Lars Von Trier, the enfant terrible of Danish cinema, got his foot stuck in his trachea during a press conference for his film "Melancholia," at Cannes Film Festival. When asked about [fill in the blank; it doesn't really matter], he answered:
I really wanted to be a Jew and then I found out that I was really a Nazi, because my family is German. And that also gave me some pleasure. So, I, what can I say? I understand Hitler. I think he did some wrong things but I can see him sitting in his bunker. I'm saying that I think I understand the man. He is not what we could call a good guy, but yeah, I understand much about him and I sympathize with him.
It seems like the title of his most recent film made him melancholic for Nazi Germany. The public outrage was immediate. Von Trier is one of the darlings of Cannes Film Festival, having won a Palm D'Or in 2000 for his film "Dancer in the Dark." Still, that award was not enough to prevent a swift condemnation from Cannes against his show of sympathy towards Hitler and his attempt to trivialize the Holocaust. The ultimate result of his rant: Von Trier was declared persona non grata (although his film continues to compete for the prize).
I grew up in Cuba, under an antisemitic regime (yes, Castro Inc.) that constantly violates basic freedoms, including, but not limited to, freedom of expression. That is to say that I take the right to speak rather seriously. Still, even if I weren't a Jew-lover (which I totally am: my wife is a member of the tribe), I'd still agree with the decision of the Film Festival: Von Trier is verbotten forevermore. Freedom of expression should end right where making light of genocide begins.
The previous sentence makes me think of a totally cool, sexy, trendy, ultra-literary spot in NYC named KGB Bar.
But, first, please allow me to digress. During the reign of terror of Joseph Stalin, his victims amounted to twenty million, killed with the enthusiastic participation of the KGB. If you missed the Cold War and have not rented the Oscar winner "The Lives of Others" (about the Stasi, the KGB's East German cousin): the KGB was, until 1991, the national internal security, intelligence, and secret police organization of the Soviet Union, in charge, among other heinous crimes, of suppressing "ideological subversion," which included repressing, arresting and murdering countless writers and intellectuals.
Speaking of which, there's also a tongue-in-cheek "general knowledge questions and answers" online service called "KGB Answers." How cute. And how terribly inaccurate. The KGB trademark was not its "answers." It was its questions.
That being the case, I can only wonder how the KGB mutated from a cemetery where ideas went to die into a friendly online service? Why did the KGB become a cool NYC bar where cool people go to read their cool prose and even cooler poetry? And when will trivializing the victims of the KGB, Stalin and communism become politically incorrect?
Mixing Memory and Desire?
Mixing Memory and Desire is a blog about Cuba, literature and other chronic pains. It borrows its title from T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land.

Water and My World
We take baths with clean water. We drink clean water. We wash our clothes and food with clean water. Water we use every day comes from streams, ponds, rivers, and other natural sources. These water sources can become polluted. Mother Nature does her part to clean the water through the water cycle. But the water cycle can't keep up with the pollution that people and animals create.
In the United States, we treat drinking water before it comes to our tap so that we don't get sick from using polluted water. We also treat water after we use it and before returning it to the environment. We do this to remove pollutants so that they don't harm our waterways and the plants and animals that live there. All used water goes through wastewater treatment, whether it was used in homes, on farms, or in industry.

The PGA Tour Career Money List Is Meaningless
Who are the all-time highest earners in PGA Tour history? Here are the Top 25 golfers on the PGA Tour career money list at the end of 2012:
1. Tiger Woods, $100,950,700
2. Phil Mickelson, $67,644,698
3. Vijay Singh, $67,277,743
4. Jim Furyk, $52,719,459
5. Ernie Els, $44,771,409
6. Davis Love III, $42,208,476
7. David Toms, $38,865,778
8. Steve Stricker, $35,079,561
9. Justin Leonard, $31,861,400
10. Kenny Perry, $31,797,536
11. Stewart Cink, $30,836,995
12. Sergio Garcia, $30,582,574
13. Luke Donald, $28,860,433
14. Adam Scott, $28,306,454
15. Retief Goosen, $27,525,642
16. Scott Verplank, $27,400,942
17. K.J. Choi, $27,373,854
18. Mike Weir, $26,821,949
19. Stuart Appleby, $26,757,857
20. Robert Allenby, $26,408,821
21. Zach Johnson, $26,277,293
22. Geoff Ogilvy, $25,738,157
23. Rory Sabbatini, $25,464,837
24. Mark Calcavecchia, $24,147,827
25. Jerry Kelly, $23,845,162
What this list (and the full list, which you can view on PGATour.com) tells us is that the career money list is meaningless. Absolutely useless as an analytical tool. Stewart Cink and his six career wins is the 11th highest-earning golfer in PGA Tour history? What good does knowing that do? Jerry Kelly is in the Top 25? Good for Mr. Kelly, who has had a fine career and now gets to use a one-time exemption for being inside the Top 25 to keep his card for the 2013 season.
But it doesn't tell us that Kelly is one of the 25 best golfers of all-time (an absurd notion), or even one of the 25 best of his era (highly debatable). It tells us that what it takes to make this list is to be a good (not great - just good, or, actually, just slightly above average) golfer on tour over an extended period of time, a period of time that is taking place in the current money environment.
How useless is the all-time earnings list? Consider that, as I write this, Tim Herron is No. 45. Lumpy!
If you adjust for inflation, does it matter? Not really. Golf tournament earnings have exploded far beyond the pace of inflation, for reasons mostly to do with first the arrival of television, and then the development of sports programming on television. And Tiger Woods (and to a lesser extent before Tiger, Arnold Palmer's arrival).
So the PGA Tour all-time earnings list is fun so long as you don't take it seriously.

Owner Builders
Buying a house with fibre – Don't trust the coverage map
By DeenGabriel on July 10, 2019 in News
The presence of an Internet connection can be a major consideration for South African property buyers, especially considering the better performance and pricing offered by fibre compared to legacy technology.
This was true in the case of a MyBroadband reader who was looking at purchasing a home in Cape Town in July 2018.
A major criterion for this purchase was that the area in which his potential home was located should either have fibre installed or be in the fibre rollout stage.
The reader found a home which showed that it was currently under the "build in progress" area on the Vumatel fibre coverage map.
He put in an offer on the home and was successful, and then contacted Vumatel to pre-order his fibre line.
Vumatel confirmed his pre-order and said that it would be starting shortly with the work in his area.
The reader moved into his new home in November 2018, and this is when the trouble started.
Vumatel rolled out fibre to the rest of his suburb and assured him that his area would be done later, but to date they have not rolled out to his home.
There is a fibre conduit 30 metres away from his house, but Vumatel has now told him that they do not plan to roll out fibre any further, leaving him without a connection.
Additionally, the coverage map on Vumatel's website has changed.
Where it used to show that the reader's house was under the "build in progress" area, it now shows the property as outside of the company's fibre network.
The homeowner said the availability of fibre was a major factor in his decision to purchase the property, and since finding out that Vumatel would not roll out fibre to his home, he has placed his home back on the market.
Vumatel responds
MyBroadband contacted Vumatel regarding this case, and the fibre infrastructure provider said that roll-out changes are very rare, but can happen.
"The coverage map is maintained and updated frequently, to ensure as close to real-time accuracy as possible," Vumatel told MyBroadband.
"It does make provision for areas where a build is still in progress and/or where residents can show interest. There are many factors that can result in the change of a roll-out, although this is very rare."
No specific details regarding this case were provided, although the immutability of a fibre coverage map does mean that users should be extremely thorough when considering buying a house in a potential coverage area.
Specifically, it would be of great benefit to ensure that fibre is either already active or will roll out with any problems.
MyBroadband spoke to Norton Rose Fullbright senior associate Chloe Merrington about any possible recourse for homeowners in a similar situation.
"If there is a breach of contract or an occurrence or omission relating to the subject matter of the contract, which is material and goes to the root of that contract, the purchaser may have recourse in the form of being able to cancel the contract," Merrington said.
"In this instance, the homeowner would not have any recourse against the seller of the property unless the homeowner included a condition in the sale agreement that the area/property would have fibre installation in place."
"Such a condition should have required fulfilment of the fibre installation prior to the transfer of the property, especially considering that the seller has no control over whether fibre is installed," she said.
She said it is unlikely that a homeowner in this situation would have any recourse against the fibre company, as the company was not party to the sale agreement for the property.
"Regardless of the timing of the homeowner's inquiries/applications to the fibre company, the fibre company was not a party to the sale agreement, nor would they have been aware of the fact that the purchaser allegedly only purchased the property because of the advertisement of fibre."
Merrington added that it is unlikely that the customer would be able to force the fibre company to roll out even if he had pre-ordered his line, as the company would have liability clauses in place to account for this situation.
"Purchasers (of property and fibre contracts) should be careful to read the terms and conditions of the contract carefully to understand their rights, remedies and obligations and well as the rights, remedies and obligations of the other party (a seller or fibre company)."
