Ububba's One-of-a-kind Digital Marketplace Is Spearheading the K-Baby Trend

The k-baby marketplace
South Korean culture has taken the world by storm in a wide range of industries: fashion, skincare, music, entertainment and cuisine, just to name a few. But the so-called "k-wave" does not appear to slow down anytime soon, thus bringing opportunities to infiltrate numerous other retail sectors and to create veritable global trends. Next in line? Korean baby products.
Esther Chang, former SVP of Design and Head Creative at Forever 21, together with her husband Julius Son, a private equity investment banker with a focus on tech-enabled retail, have recognized a gap in the baby products market when they began their own journey into parenthood. A simple industry skim could conclude there were few consolidated children's brands and none of them offered differentiating styles. High-quality, high-design k-baby products at sharp price points, on the other hand, could completely change the game. So the couple merged their complementary skills and created Ububba: a smart, ever-evolving marketplace of affordable, trendy children's goods evocative of their Korean origins. It's set to launch in early 2021 in the US.
"The k-baby concept already exists, but people are not aware of it. There are plenty of products coming from South Korea that people do not associate with the trend or even with their true origins. Ububba will bring that awareness and help solidify a trend through products that transcend cultural boundaries."
Julius Son, Co-Founder of Ububba
More than a name
Translated from Korean, Ububba means "carrying and supporting" – and that's exactly what the company hopes to achieve. The marketplace aims to simplify and individualize parenthood for today's busy parents by carefully curating the product selection according to the highest of quality and the latest of trends. The subsequent streamlined shopping experience is much appreciated in an increasingly busy world where time is of the essence.
"Time is a highly valuable commodity for contemporary parents, so Ububba's curated marketplace will enable them to discover great and interesting products quickly."
The Ububba vision also hopes to nurture the relationship already established with former customers of Forever 21. Although they are starting a new chapter of their lives and their needs are now dramatically different, some things remain unchanged, like the importance of social selling. The platform plans to leverage social media engagement and written content in order to accompany customers every step of the way, no matter the channel.
"We have been alongside our customers since their teenage years, courtesy of Forever 21. But they are mothers now, and their focus has changed, so ours has, too. Our wish is to successfully carry them through the entire parenthood experience and to become their go-to solution for everything baby-related."
Esther Chang, Co-Founder of Ububba
A big chunk of their plans is also devoted to supporting k-baby brands and distributors to reach their full potential. On their end, sellers are enthusiastic to work with experts of the retail industry and to venture into digital territory under their guidance.
"The key to any business is vendor relationships. Another goal of Ububba is to carry these vendors through the marketplace experience, enabling them to sell their products to a much wider audience."
Challenge accepted
The engine powering Ububba's operations is VTEX. The collaborative commerce approach and native marketplace capabilities fit Ububba's business like a glove, at significantly lower costs than with other technological alternatives.
"To build a true marketplace without native capabilities is a pricey process. Thus, we wanted to partner with a proprietary product solution that had numerous out of the box elements, but which retained the flexibility to build custom functionality at the enterprise level."
What is more, as the first and only global, fully integrated, commerce-OMS-marketplace solution, VTEX will offer Ububba scalability and room to grow. A symbiosis of business ideas enabled by this flexibility is already taking form, with a brick-and-mortar retail store set to open in Los Angeles alongside the digital marketplace.
All in all, VTEX's agility is imperative for Ububba's boldest ambition: eventually turning the k-baby trend into a global phenomenon.

What is India's GDP and why should I care?
As we discussed in our previous post, the reason you should care about India's GDP is because it is a good way to get a quick, one-number estimate about how "well" India is doing. This post is about answering the first part of the question posed above: what is India's GDP?
First things first: that's an incorrect question. What people really mean when they ask that question is: what is India's GDP growth rate. That last phrase is often missing, which is what can (and often does) cause confusion.
GDP is what you, I and literally millions of Indians produced in one time period. GDP growth rate is how much more did we produce this year, relative to last year. When we say that the Indian economy grew at 7.5% last year, we mean we produced 7.5% more of goods and services this year when compared to last year.
Why is that a good thing? Well, producing more stuff usually means selling more stuff. Selling more stuff means more of us earned more this year compared to last year – and since when was that a bad thing, huh?
Also, producing more stuff implies requiring more people to produce said stuff, which means (probably) more people were employed this year compared to last year. And that's also a good thing, right?
So: a higher number for our GDP growth rate means richer Indians, and more jobs all round. That's why economists, policy makers and the media watch the GDP number so closely – its because this number tells us whether India is getting richer over time, and gives us a rough idea about whether more Indians are with jobs this year compared to the previous year.
On the home page, under a column titled "Latest News", look for a banner heading that runs along the lines of "Provisional Estimates of Annual/Quarterly Estimates of GDP". Clicking on that link opens up a PDF, in which the growth rates of GDP will be given.
Be careful! You should look for the GDP growth rates in constant prices, not current ones. In a later post, we'll explain what the difference between the two is, but for now, do note that its constant prices that matter, not current.
As you can see in the table to the right, we grew at about 7.6% for the period 1st April to 31st March 2016.
And that's a (very!) quick introduction to GDP. We've hopefully managed to convince you of the need to know a country's GDP growth rate, and where to find it in India's case. In posts to come, we'll talk much more about GDP. For now, we'll do a follow-up post on our Facebook page about links relevant to this topic that you might want to check out.

Q: Apache Sling - how to escape character in username Currently I'm using UserManager API to create/delete/changePassword
Reference: https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/managing-users-and-groups-jackrabbit-usermanager.html
If my username don't have any special character, it works perfectly (for any create, delete, changePassword action)
But when I create an username like 'someone@somemail.com', Sling can create a user,  but cannot do any delete or changing user password. The response return 200 OK but the resource is still stay in GetListUser.
Executing the ChangePassword or Delete POST with /system/userManager/user/someone@somemail.com.changePassword.json will result in Sling create another user 'someone@somemail.com.changePassword' in UserList.
And I cannot delete this user too.
Is there anyway to escape theses characters in username, and how to delete these bad created resources ?
Update Apr 26th, 2016:
I've tried '%40' instead of '@', but it created another user, and have to authentcation with 'user%40mail.com'.

La Melona is a cultural collective based in Santiago de Compostela since late 2015 that arose from the need and the desire to seize the potential of the Galician capital with the aim of promoting culture and emerging artists from different disciplines on the Galician, Spanish and international scenes.
After one year of life, and continuing their efforts to grow as part of Compostela's leisure options, La Melona-Eventos Culturales embarked on the organization of their first festival: MelonaFest Vol. 1.
The opportunity to bring together different bands and DJs from Galician and Portuguese lands in one single event became a reality in April last year. In its first edition, MelonaFest included a double (daytime and nighttime) schedule in an eclectic event with high-quality projects like Aries, who presented her successful "Adieu or Die" (La Castanya/K Records, 2016).
In addition to the eclecticism and experimentation of Vol. 1, which La Melona intends to continue and expand in Vol. 2, they have also focused on the management of a number of venues, somehow giving the city a leading role in the event. One of the main changes in the festival this year will be its duration, going from one to three days (April 6, 7 and 8).
Broadening its horizons in terms of both styles and borders, the festival will feature international artists, such as the Dutch Mauskovic Dance Band, and will continue relying on Galician artists, both established (Fluzo) and emerging ones (Boyanka Kostova).
La Melona's close relationship with the Portuguese musical scene, one of the group's hallmarks, will be consolidated this year through their collaboration with the initiative Um ao Molhe, a traveling one-man-band festival that will bring the projects Surma, O Manipulador and Tren Go! Sound System to the city.
La Melona invites us to enjoy a heterogeneous and fresh event that is certain not to disappoint either melomaniacs or party and nightlife lovers.


Meet Chunky! SWEET young Male in Eastern WA.
I LOVE this dog! He is at the Spokane Humane Society in Spokane, Washington. I am new to the area here, so I don't have any Spokane contacts/friends on Facebook that networking him would there would get much notice, so I'm hoping there may be some Eastern Washington folks on pbf that might take interest in sweet Chunky!
He is SUCH a good boy. I volunteer at the shelter and he is one of my favorites! I honestly don't know why he hasn't been snatched up. He was an owner surrender, no fault of his own, no behavioral issues... the owners just apparently didn't have the time or resources to properly care for him. He's about a year old, and has been at the shelter for more than a month and so deserves a good home. He has such a great energy level, fun and playful but well-mannered and affectionate. He is beautiful too- a gorgeous pit bull head and face, with a beautiful blue/brown sort of coat that is super soft, almost looks like an Akita/Shepherd or Retriever body with a handsome pit bull face!
He is so well-behaved... I did a training class with him there and he clearly already has some skills down! For a young dog that is pent up in a kennel nearly all day, he was so good in class- was doing really well with his 'Leave It' and 'Stay'. In a home environment, I think this dog would really excel!
Re: Meet Chunky! SWEET young Male in Eastern WA.
Here's some more of the fantastic Chunky for your viewing pleasure .
hes really a neat color! <3 Gorgeous boy!
He looks like an awesome dog. Love that color.

Take A Behind The Scenes Look At Starfield In New Trailer
A new Starfield trailer today takes a bit of a different approach compared to the traditional sizzle reel or gameplay blast. Instead, you can take a look at Starfield in a very different fashion, with a behind-the-scenes look with game director Todd Howard, studio director Angela Browder, and art director Matt Carofano. It's more of a micro look at Bethesda's approach to their games, their stories, and their open worlds. It's more of a conversational approach than a lot of game trailers, but it looks like it's simply setting the stage for lots more to come regarding Starfield. Check out the full video right here.
This is really just Episode One of a Starfield trailer series, so inevitably there will be a lot more on the way before Starfield's release. In case you were wondering, Starfield is set to hit on November 11, 2022. That may seem like a long way off, but I'm sure we'll get to see a lot more from the game as we progress into next year. Yeah yeah, I know. I want to see some serious gameplay slices too. We'll get there. What do you think it's going to be like? We do know some things… Expect wars, space pirates, and mysteries to unravel.
Are you excited for Starfield? When do you think Elder Scrolls VI will launch? Do you like discussions like this trailer about games? Let us know in the comments!

My earliest memory of my mom is of her telling me a story, helping me go off to sleep on a dull dreary afternoon. To be honest, I don't remember how old I was at the time. But post that, there have been more and sharper memories—like her coming to fetch me, and my two sisters, from school and then all of us going gallivanting in the older parts of the city (Lucknow) on a merry rickshaw ride.
But among the memories, which I am sure all children, have of their mothers, there is one personality trait of hers, which today, as an adult and a mother to a 4-year-old myself, I totally understand and in fact respect—her ability to be an equal in a household in times when women were just mere shadows of their husbands. Though she was a homemaker, someone who fussed around her children, she was a feminist in the true sense—a woman who rather than signing slogans believed in living them and passing them on.
She ensured that my sisters and I learnt driving when it was so totally thought of as an unnecessary skill in girls. She pushed us to join sports such as swimming and judo (and trust me, I am talking of at least 25 years back if not more (later 80's)), did not encourage us to learn cooking or cleaning or household chores (the way the other girls in our joint family did), and time and again, just reinforced to us that we are in no way less than the men, if not better.
Fast-forward 2000s, I was off to meet a guy for marriage, in the typical Indian scenario. While the rest of my family was happy with the match, my mom told me on the way to the hotel, that in case you are not sure of the person, don't agree for the marriage.
And there are numerous such incidents where this lady from a small town, highly qualified, willingly settled into a home with her husband and children, ensured that she and importantly her own girl children, did not get lost in the background. Time and again, she reinforced to us that even though we may be girls, we are always 'ekkis' if not better than the men (on a scale of 1-20, we are at 21 if not better).
I am a happier woman today cause of this self belief.

SEC Issues New Regulations Regarding Narrative Disclosure of Compensation Packages
The SEC has issued new regulations and guidance on the disclosure of executive compensation as they relate to risk. The new requirements will apply to most public companies for the 2010 proxy season and are effective for filings made after February 28, 2010, with respect to fiscal years ending after December 20, 2009. Compensation committees will have to address these requirements while they are drafting their proxy statement disclosures.
The final rules require that, to the extent that a company's compensation policies and practices for its employees (NOT just the named executive officers) create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company, the company must disclose these risks. The new disclosure, if required, should not be located in the CD&A. It should be in its own, separate section of the proxy statement.
If a company determines that its compensation policies and practices do not create unreasonable risks, the company is not required to provide any disclosure or statement in the absence of such risks, but in all events the company must undertake a risk assessment to make a determination.
Because affected companies must complete this review before filing their proxy statements, companies and their compensation committees should immediately:
Organize a team to review existing compensation programs in order to assess whether they present risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company. The team should include members from all relevant departments such as accounting, risk management, legal and human resources.
Review compensation programs with particular attention to variations across business lines, employee function and management level.
Consider adopting a compensation risk management policy, if one is not yet in place.
Consider hiring independent counsel to represent only the compensation committee.
Address any existing risk going forward through the use of risk mitigation practices such as clawback provisions, stock ownership guidelines and stock holding period requirements.
For information on how new SEC regulations may affect your proxy statement disclosures, contact Charles F. Harenza at 610.478.2091 or the Stevens & Lee attorney with whom you regularly speak.

Paul Hostovsky, Naming Names
EJ Miley, Jr.
Naming Names by Paul Hostovsky
Main Street Rag, 2014
Reviewed by Kathleen Kirk, EIL Poetry Editor
We're coming up on Thanksgiving, and I'm giving thanks for Naming Names, by Paul Hostovsky. It makes me laugh, and it makes me feel sorry for the Presidents, namely the ones in "Feeling Sorry for the Presidents"—Nixon and George W—for whom I did not vote but can, nonetheless, feel compassion. The poem ends with a Hostovskian "move," as they say about choices in poetry (or chess), here, a sudden awareness of the big picture after a series of particulars. It's George W on the TV screen:
…I can't help feeling
sorry for the guy. I mean everybody's mad at him
for the big mess he made, and there he stands
in the middle of that mess, with all the bodies
piling up—all the arms and legs and heads—
and he has to say something, but he can't
say what he has to say. He can't say it.
There are a lot of dogs in this book, and it's dedicated To the dog of myself / walking the dog of the dog / through the dog of the world. Compassion and humor there, too. There is free association and the love of language, of particular words. Thanks to the poem, "C. Bowen, Plumber," I looked up the word "meticulous," which really does, as the poem clearly states, come from the Latin for "fear." But you've got to love a meticulous plumber, and the poem made me want to hire this one.
Naming Names does just that, naming teachers and classmates, famous writers, past lovers, friends, best friends, that plumber, those presidents, musicians, states of mind and heart. It names The Beatles in the epigraph to "The Road," that line from the wonderful song, "Why don't we d-do it in the road?" that I used to sing over the vacuum cleaner, doing my household chores on Saturdays as a child…. It's a good question, and the poem begins to answer it—"I'm t-trembling"—with Hostovskian hilarity and humility. I keep saying "Hostovskian" because there is even a poem that names the poet, "Hostovsky." It ends the first section, Fallen Kings, with a claim of singularity:
There are many species in a phylum.
There are many Pauls in a phone book.
But there was always only one
Hostovsky in the class,
and only one Paul Hostovsky
in the whole kingdom.
It's a supreme moment and a sweet and lonely one, too, coming from "an only child with many / imaginary friends to [his] name."
The poem "Interpreting the Allman Brothers" reminded me that Paul Hostovsky holds both of my ideal jobs: Poet and Interpreter for the Deaf. I love how these lines tangle the tongue and eye as well as the fingers: "I juggled, fingerspelled, finagled / all of the lyrics for close to an hour." More than one poem takes place in a bathroom, but not "Bathroom Talk," not exactly. More than one poem made me laugh out loud, or grin big. And, as I've said, more than one poem is in love with language, even as some among us bemoan the state of language today. "Let us not decry / the decline of language, / dude." That's the beginning of "I Say," which continues to simultaneous heights and depths of praise:
So I say, let us praise
on our geographic
this living gumbo,
this fine and thick
delicious and nutritious
whence all the beautiful
and endangered species
spring, sprang,
sprung.
Indeed. And let us all praise the singular Paul Hostovsky.

Home Academic Analysis The transition into adolescence can be brutal for kids' mental health –...
The transition into adolescence can be brutal for kids' mental health – but parents can help reduce the risk
Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Zara Mansoor, Clinical Psychologist and PhD Candidate, University of Otago
The transition from childhood to adolescence is a vulnerable time for the development of mental health difficulties and brings a marked increase in anxiety and depression.
The push away from family to peers at this age can leave parents feeling adrift. But parents can have a positive role in how young people navigate the challenges of adolescence.
Untreated, mental health conditions often have an impact into adulthood. Supporting a young person with a mental health difficulty also places enormous stress on parents and whānau (family).
So how can parents be there for their children?
Research into how young people develop emotional skills found that a parenting style which encourages understanding and acceptance of emotions is associated with better mental wellbeing compared to styles which are dismissive, punitive or avoid emotional experiences.
As well as general emotional response style, there is an array of other factors linked to anxiety and depression which parents can play an important role in mitigating.
Supporting parents in these areas can have a positive preventative effect on the development of anxiety and depression. By better involving parents in mental health care, we may also improve outcomes for teens with mental health challenges.
Addressing how we treat teen mental health is of increasing importance with rising rates of anxiety and depression in teens and the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research shows parents can have a positive impact on the mental health of their children as they transition into adolescence.

COVID-19 has taken a toll on teen mental health
In a survey of youth in Aotearoa, reported symptoms of mental distress were already increasing prior to the global pandemic – particularly for females and Māori.
While the full effects of the pandemic remain to be seen, key factors related to well being in adolescence have been severely affected, including school attendance, social engagement and the ability to develop independence.
New ways to treat depression in teenagers
Preliminary evidence from overseas suggests there has been an increase in mental health difficulties above general trends in this period for adolescents.
A report of data from paediatric hospital admissions in New Zealand identified greater admissions related to mental distress and parasuicidal behaviour during lockdown.
A survey of adult New Zealanders also confirmed a range of psychological impacts, with the younger adult group particularly affected.
These trends will continue to put strain on our mental health services.
Stretched services
Referrals to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) have been increasing over recent years, particularly for the early adolescent age group.
Chronic resourcing and staffing issues mean the situation is already at crisis point for many needing support.
While there has been a substantial government commitment to increased funding, there are still deficits and long term skill shortages for specialist child and adolescent clinicians.
Adequate resourcing is essential to providing better support. We also need to ensure we are providing high quality interventions to those seeking help.
Gaps in how we understand teens
There are gaps in the evidence base for working with this age group, including how we can best include parents in treatment.
Teenage depression: If a parent doesn't get treatment for a child, is that abuse?
Most current treatments for adolescent anxiety and depression have evolved from the adult evidence base and a generally Western, individually-oriented model. This approach can fail to take in the unique needs of teens and cultural norms that place value on a person's role in a larger whānau or community.
Cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) and antidepressant medication have been the most researched and are generally the first treatment recommendations. While these treatments have a good body of evidence and are helpful for many young people, effect sizes are modest and may be significantly smaller for teens compared with similar therapies for adults, particularly for depression.
Parents can play an important role
To improve outcomes, mental health treatments need to consider the specific needs of this age group, including the role of parents.
This also fits with Māori and other important cultural perspectives in New Zealand. For example, Te Whare Tapa Wha, a model of Māori health developed by Sir Mason Durie, describes the foundations of health, with whānau (family) as a key pillar. Strengthening our focus on this aspect of health can help make care more resposive for all New Zealanders.
While there is a clear rationale for including parents in treatment, and many clinicians are aware of this in practice, research into parental involvement in care is limited.
Reviews to date have suggested a small but positive impact but these reviews have been limited by the number and quality of studies.
Rather than general parent involvement in existing treatment (e.g. parents included in CBT), one promising avenue is programmes focused on boosting emotional skills.
Our research is focused on a one programme developed particularly for teens, Tuning in to Teens, developed by a team at Melbourne University from a programme for parents of younger children (Tuning in to Kids).
The programme targets emotion regulation difficulties by teaching parents to be "emotion coaches" and respond to their young person's emotions in the accepting and understanding style which has been found to promote positive mental health.
Antidepressant trial's upended results show need for sharing all data
In a randomised control trial of early adolescents about to transition to high school, those with parents who completed this programme had lower levels of symptoms associated with anxiety and depression compared to those who did not.
This programme has been adopted by several mental health services in New Zealand with positive feedback. We are now investigating how we can further evaluate its impact in this setting.
These are challenging times to be growing up in and challenging times to parent in, too. While more research is needed to determine what works best for this age group, parents have an important role from prevention to treatment. The better we can support parents, the better equipped they will be to support their young people to navigate what is ahead.

New building for ANA inaugurated in Helmand
Previous Article Orgun-Barmal highway being rebuilt
Next Article 120 Helmand schools to reopen in 2 weeks
A newly-constructed building for the Afghan National Army (ANA) First Brigade in the Garamsir district of southern Helmand province was inaugurated on Monday, a statement said.
The statement from the Helmand's governor office said that the facility was funded by the US Marines, with the building having 130 blocks and other facilities, which costs $86 million and took three years to complete.
The inaugural ceremony was attended by Helmand Governor Al-haj Muhammad Naeem, American officials and other local authorities.
Brig. Gen. Muhammad Ali Shujayee, the 1th Afghan army brigade commander in the Garamsir district, who participated in the inaugural ceremony, said their soldiers earlier faced several problems due to the absence of a proper compound.
However, he said the problems had been resolved with the construction of the new facility that had all the necessary facilitates.


Voices I heard, even seemed to see, in Robyn Archer's 2004 Melbourne Festival emanated from deep in the body and the psyche, undivided, whether in the primordial and shamanistic agonies of Men in Tribulation; the pulsing, vibratory sonic-video portraits by Granular Synthesis; or in Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker's complex embodiment of a 1963 Joan Baez album. In the all too brief 4 days I experienced of this festival, these works entered me and are there to stay. Other works like William Kentridge's remarkable version of Monteverdi's The Return of Ulysses, the Victoria company's Ubung and De Keersmaker and Rosas' Mozart/Arias added to the festival's resonance if in less transformative ways, while the tiny, intimate A Quarrelling Pair by Aphids was a quiet revelation with its shifting weave of human and puppet, voice and soundscore.
Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker bares body and soul in Once. She confides in us the power of music over her dancer's body, calling up the embodiment of Joan Baez in Concert, Part 2 (1963) in de Keersmaeker the child—before she knew English—and showing how that music has stayed with her since she first heard it in 1967. Once opens in silence. De Keersmaeker is still, silent and then slips into a set of small moves, gestures tentatively, looks at us and away, spaces the feet, and drops suddenly. Delineated quietly before lowering the needle onto the record, this is the vocabulary for Once, a silent, informal overture for a body we will get to know very well once we have settled into her time, her space, her hearing of the songs she dwells on, flits through, takes over and loses herself in, and will even sing.
There is a sense of the dancer hearing the songs for both the first and the nth time, knowing them only too well, sometimes impatient, sometimes loving, nearly always drawn into them, gleefully rediscovering them. The shift from track to track, the waiting for the right moment to respond (mouthing words or feeling the beat or tempted to rise to Baez's soaring soprano), hesitations, doubts, singing We shall overcome quietly and creakily on her own as the record is faded out early into the track. With the feel of improvisation, this is a quest to find what remains in de Keersmaeker's body of that music, what's still real about it, what of herself she can still give to it, or it to her. There is much openness and vulnerability here, a casting off of shoes, socks, underwear, going naked to the music and to us. The recurrent long gaze into the audience signals the privacy of her act—as if to ask, 'are you with me?' The enigmatic smile as she hovers over the front row, leaning into the audience as if about to fall into their arms, also amplifies this sharing as do the little jokes, the visual banter, the adult-as-child hiding in a blanket.
All the while the tracks roll by, old songs in Spanish and English of murder, jealousy, betrayal and joy. De Keersmaeker announces Long Black Veil as a favourite, abandons herself to Queen of Hearts and melds with the analytical Baez of Bob Dylan's curt Don't Think Twice, It's All Right. The Battle Hymn of the Republic is followed by Baez's polished hymning of Dylan's With God on Our Side which is suddenly usurped by the singer-songwriter's street-preaching original, doubling its power in the only departure from the Baez album. De Keersmaeker was given the album as a gift to mark the birth of a sister, fell in love with it and later came to admire Baez the non-violent activist. Part of the power of Once is its capacity to place within one frame an intimate physical and emotional response to a voice and the evocation of a political moment, sadly with much in common with our own. De Keersmaeker puts a body, her own, to a voice, Baez's; and in doing so gives voice to many.
I remember my astonishment when Meg Stuart's No One Is Watching opened with a lone dancer standing still, his head was turning rapidly side to side in an incredible blur, a living Francis Bacon smear of a face, and so it was in Modell 5 by the Austrian artists Granular Synthesis presented by Novamedia and ACMI at the Melbourne Festival. One face, that of Japanese performer Akemi Takeya, appears in 4 portrait proportioned frames on a large screen in a small room in ACMI where we stretch out on the floor and keep our earplugs ready—we have been supplied and warned. The head's movements sideways and up and down are incrementally edited into a furiously paced staccato, a near blur in which, for example, the teeth become everything raking across the screen and the performer mutates into an eyeless creature. Or, as the head rolls up and down the open mouth evolves from Bacon to Giger, utterly Alien, and is that the gurgling of saliva I hear in the sound rush? Liquid sounds certainly, but am I hearing things? The soundscore is immaculately matched to the images, not literally, but as a frantic, shuddering pulse that grows in demanding volume but which has its own layered beauty and is never short of acoustic qualities that belie the synthetic construction. It begins with a high, rattling percussion, thickening out, the beat doubling, layered with sounds like cries, ullulations, machine gunnings, whinnyings, a huge gasp. The body in extremis, like an astronaut heading into space, is matched by a score that puts our vibrating, listening bodies in sync with the performer. What is this? Synthetic performance art? Animated portraiture? Modell 5 is curiously painterly. It screams from ACMI to the Munch exhibition down the road at the NGV.
The performance space contains us, audience and performers. It is filled with fog and framed with high scaffolding. Columns of light stream down. At the centre on a platform made from wooden crates, a man in a swivel chair fitted with a microphone, is having his feet washed by a woman while several men play with small objects that click, clack and rattle and later add up to saxophones. Close by someone is taking these noises into the system, mixing and distributing them into the space. This ritual unfolds into the last hour of Antonin Artaud (Phil Minton), high priest of 20th century performance living out his final agonies and humiliations, reliving his days with the Tarahumara Indians, their drugs and visions and their high priest (Viviane de Muynck), and railing against opera and God.
The saxophonists inhabit 3 points in the architecture of Men in Tribulation, De Muynck the fourth. Their sounds (notes, breath, voice,) are both raw and cooked, immediately audible but also transformed, both layers conjuring winds, storms, distant cries, crowds, death rattles, drownings. Just as the musicians open up the aural space so does the architect-generated set transform the world around us with shifting lines of fluorescent light.
Erich Sleichim's production is Artaudian in its sheer enveloping intensity. Jan Fabre's text is incantatory (though not, unfortunately revelatory). Minton is magnificent as Artaud, an unactorly performer whose sounds transform his body, from consuming, racking rage to beast-like murmurs and bird whispers, to the final shivering and shuddering of death. His shirt is pulled off, momentarily evoking a strait-jacket, but his release comes as he takes a jug of honey and pours it over his head and body and is slowly washed by his attendant performers.
These 3 miniature plays about pairs of sisters are performed with small puppets in and around a magically convertible wooden dressing table that becomes a stage, several worlds and from the drawers of which the heads and limbs of the puppeteer-actors can surreally appear, as if they themselves are manipulated by greater forces. The sisters in American writer Jane Bowles' A Quarrelling Pair (1945/46) are locked into the tensions of their difference, big-hearted versus small-minded, which escalate into physical violence, all the more alarming coming from puppets, as in Punch and Judy. The onset of evening calms them, but you sense the compulsion of ritual.
In Lally Katz's Mr Peterson's Milk, it's 4 years since 2 sisters gave up smoking and they are now venturing out into the world. The pair in Bowles' play would never do that. But what a world. Q: "Where do you want to go?" A: "Inside Mr Peterson, the Milkman's Brain." What they encounter are fragments of the past, "The monuments of our time are already dying", odd sights and strange sounds: "The voice of the Dalai Lama begins to speak. It mixes with the terrible wind." Their brief visit to the bank is a wonderful adventure and they wonder where they will go next: "Somewhere with numbers." "To forget we are trapped." "Inside the universe." The playfulness of the sisters' re-arranging of the physical world of the dresser alleviates a little their claustrophobic circumstances with a sense of light-hearted insanity.
In And When They Were Good, Cynthia Troup's pair of sisters are used to being apart but even that is timed to visits every 6 weeks or so. As in the Bowles' work it is the sense of difference which shapes the sisters' exchanges, but it is difference that makes for inseparability. Who is more like mother than father ("Does likeness ripen? Then seep, through the skin...), who is warm-blooded, who cold? Who is the older? Who staves things off? These and childhood recollections, the paraphenalia of the dresser (a litany of mother's cosmetics), cutting a sister's hair, all constellate to keep these women together and just enough apart—as night comes on.
Bowles' pair of sisters are presented as puppets with just a suggestion that their manipulators have an investment in the unfolding drama. In the Katz play the sisters reinvent the world, in effect puppeteering themselves into it. Troup's sisters are puppeteers too, but secondarily so for it is the world of objects around them that is animated, partly it would seem of its own accord, something we particularly apprehend from the sound score (Jethro Woodward) in the eerie final moments of the play. Finely written, directed (Margaret Cameron) and performed (Caroline Lee, Sarah Kriegler), A Quarrelling Pair displaces the voice between bodies and puppets as imaginary pasts and futures are conjured, making us mindful of the emotional manipulations we perpetrate on ourselves and others.


Interesting thing happened at work the other day, my supervisor came up to me and asked if I would sit at the switchboard from 1:00-4:30 on Friday (today) & I said without hesitation NO!
^-^ Kewl! My dear friend Michelle's (aka DH) boyfriend sent me some demo cd's & video clips of their band to send to some con's.. I watched their live clip of them doing blurry eyes.. pretty neat!

IRB's journey began in 1981, when Tod Beaty founded Ingram, Rettig and Beaty and built the firm's residential division before becoming President in 1990. In 1993, Mr. Beaty joined forces with Hammond Residential to extend his firm's reach in Greater Boston. The company grew through a number of acquisitions that included the purchase of Ellis & Andrews, Cambridge's oldest real estate firm, and of Breed & Associates and Natoli Real Estate in Belmont.
Senior Vice President Thomas W. Johnson has been with the company's thriving commercial division since 1992, serving the community's landlords, tenants, sellers, and buyers. The commercial division has been retained by leading Boston area real estate developers, owners, and investors and has successfully represented office, R&D, and biotech tenants ranging in size from 1,000 to 60,000 square feet.

President Peter Mutharika remarked in Parliament today that democracy is a 'curse' to Malawi and that human rights including the freedom of expressions is a waste and bad for the country, Malawi24 reports.
The remarks which are likely to draw the wrath of human rights activists follow a nationwide outcry accusing Mutharika as a visionless leader failing to inspire Malawi's economic growth.
Mutharika issued the remarks while presiding over the opening of the 46th session of the Malawi National Assembly.
No matter what Mr President, do what else you see is helpful to us!
Mr president, you are just seconding what the Great Dr H K Banda said,democracy is war.
'democracy' is word driven from latin word'demon cracy' which meant the "Satanic Arm". Sorry am not a DPP but Peter is right, I neither support it. No wonder these people who brought the so called democracy is now want us to be Sodomites. Sorry again I have not used the word 'gays' here cause I have no problem with its meaning, which meant "happy and joyous." why do they use that word to refer Sodomites?
Ummh Bodza Sanatero Ifensotu Tamva!
You need to read the president's speech between the lines and understand what he said. If English is your problem, then quit this profession and join farming than giving us nonsense reports. Divide and rule principle which you are advocating, is not good for our consumption as malawians. Who is the owner of malawi24? He is worse than a dog.
Mungosiya zinthu zikulakani izi ma comment onsewa ali against inu kusonyeza kuti palibe chabwino zitsiru za anthu inu.
We don't want unneccessary freedoms and democracies but strict and strong laws fo security purpose.
Mau a Kamuzu akuwapherezera mkuluyu musamunyoze. Democracy ndi mavuto zoona.
The quote you have presented here does not mean the way you have put it in the lead. Be serious with interpreting things Malawi24. The speaker here is not trashing Democry, rather he is condemning the wrong use to which the same has been put to!
Is this American english plz check bfore you publish!
I think if there is an editor, then its high tym to get rid of him. pliz read the statement fifteen times may be u will get the meaning out of it. very shameful article. Don't make the rest of M24 reporters as failures…..
But this ROBBOT will definately lead us direction yolakwika. Indeed ur brother is totally different same father same mother rule doesnt apply here. Malawians open ur eyes wider.
This guy called Peter Mtharika is a curse to Malawians. He's fucked up.
Paja simumamva ngende eti,why do write negatives only.
The concept of democracy has no meaning to poor and shallow brains like that of Mw24.Democracy needs custody and limit.A misconception to Mw24,shame on you!!!
You make the bed so you must lie on it.
Whch xul did malawi 24 journalist went 2? Ur work is 2 deliver truth nt participatng in politics affiliations dats stupid reportng.
Hahaha who told u? Revist my comment & com bac 2me 4 correction if u knw english,2 error is human,am ready 2 hear from u!
M24,you are misleading pple.you want to tell us that you don't understand english?
The choice of MEC and Judge Nyarenda after giving them bundles of green mats.
True Mr president. We put too much energy on irrelevant arguments and division while the masses are suffering. some people such as CSO's benefit financially from such unnecessary arguments. Lets all build Malawi and oppose sensibly. From day one Peter has been attacked, Malawians lets work up and smell the coffee. You cant be in a campaign mode for 5 years. Ok you say DPP stole the 2014 elections, MCP and company why did you not contest with the courts. Chakwera you were there at Peter's inauguration, meaning that you accepted him, although painfully rather subjecting us to such hard times. It is your efforts that is keeping away development partners and foreign direct investments and who suffers it is us the Povo. Lets stop these unnecessary criticism and build Malawi together. By the way we are the poorest nation in the world and i foresee this status quo being maintained as long as we are poor in mind and start to see the broader picture rather than our selfish minds. Malawi is not the first country to be involved in cash gate. Other countries have plundered resources 100 times more than Malawi, but they dont wash their dirty linen in public. Let us be mature, they more corrupt countries than malawi but i have never had about forensic auditors being hired from UK. We give these foreigners an opportunity to abuse us.


A reverse mortgage could be an ideal way for your parents to benefit from the wise investment they made in real estate perhaps decades ago. If you are the son or daughter of a senior who is age 62 or older, you should understand the facts about reverse mortgages.
Get money without moving. A reverse mortgage can help your parent(s) create a new source of tax-free* money without having to sell their home. In fact, they can stay in the home they love for as long as they'd like.
Financial independence. A reverse mortgage allows seniors to tap into money they've earned in the form of home equity, and avoid having to depend on relatives for financial assistance.
Keep title to the house. Your parents retain full title to their home and have no risk of losing the home to the lender. And no matter what happens to the housing market, your parents can never owe more than the value of their home when it is sold.
Proven safe. Over 150,000 Americans have already benefited from reverse mortgages. The fact is that HECM reverse mortgages are government-protected loans and many safeguards are in place to protect seniors from unethical lending practices.
Repayment options. If your last-remaining parent passes away while living in the home, you, as the heir(s), simply pay off the reverse mortgage principal plus accrued interest. If you—or a sibling or other relative—want to keep the home in the family, you can take out a new traditional mortgage or use other assets to pay for it. If no one in the family is interested in keeping the home, it can be sold to repay the loan. Any money left over goes to the estate to be shared according to your parents' last wishes.
Becky Smith has been assisting seniors and their loved ones with information they can trust and integrity that provides confidence, for over a decade throughout California, concentrating on Escondido and San Diego County.

Eventually in September 2001 the school became fully co-educational admitting boys throughout the school.The past ten years have seen a significant period of growth and progress for Gad's Hill; the pinnacle being named by the BBC, Times Telegraph and others as the country's top performing independent school based on the Government's GCSE League Tables published in 2011.This success and development over the past ten years has enabled Gad's Hill to invest in a two new multi-million pound developments within the ground of Gad's Hill Place which will improve our teaching accommodation with larger, better classrooms, theatre, sports hall, library, ICT suites, and dining facilities.

Q: Mac 64-bit compiler constants Microsoft has just updated Excel 2016 to 64-bit on OSX (yay!).  But now they have broken add-in support on OSX.  First problem:
Q: How do I conditionally compile/include code on Excel 2016 for OSX?  On windows they have separate flags for 32-bit and 64-bit, so you can do something like:
#If Win64 Then
Private Declare PtrSafe Function get_global_param_string_private Lib "CoolProp_xls_x64.dll" Alias "get_global_param_string" (ByVal param As String, ByVal Output As String, ByVal n As Integer) As Long
#Else
Private Declare Function get_global_param_string_private Lib "CoolProp_xls_std.dll" Alias "_get_global_param_string@12" (ByVal param As String, ByVal Output As String, ByVal n As Integer) As Long
#End If

but according to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg264614.aspx, there is no separate VBA constant to differentiate between bitness on OSX?  What compiler constants have they added?

A: Use conditions, like this:
#If Win64 Then

#ElseIf Win32 Then

#ElseIf Mac Then
    #If MAC_OFFICE_VERSION >= 15 Then
        #If VBA7 Then ' 64-bit Excel 2016 for Mac

        #Else ' 32-bit Excel 2016 for Mac

        #End If
    #Else ' 32-bit Excel 2011 for Mac

    #End If
#End If
