Things are relatively quiet on the gig-front for me in Melbourne this month, as I'm heading to Queensland on two occasions during July - firstly, for a much needed holiday, and secondly, to be a jazz judge at the Aspire Festival on the Gold Coast. In my absence I have some brilliant musicians filling in for me at both my Jazzlab and Uptown residencies, including Xani Kolac, Tony, Gould, and Sam Keevers!!!
Five Below's performance in the Elizabeth Murdoch Hall at the Melbourne Recital Centre last night supporting German neo-classical pianist Hauschka was a lot of fun. I still have a limited number of Hoodies available (4 to be precise) - you can reply to this email, visit my Bandcamp page, or come to a Five Below gig (generally the last monday of the month) at the Jazzlab to purchase one.
The recent Piano Club gig with Steve Grant & Darrin Archer at the Jazzlab was a beautiful night. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to present events like this on a regular basis at the Jazzlab. The next one (Monday July 22) will be a ripper with Tony Gould & Harry Cook.
Full details on the various personnel listings for my Monday nights at the Jazzlab and Thursday nights at Uptown Jazz Cafe can be found below.
I hope to see you out there :)
Thanks for reading and supporting creative Australian music!

Transients album, The Australian Art Orchestra, Stonnington Jazz Festival, plus Mondays @ the Jazzlab and Transient Thursdays @ Uptown and more...
I hope all is well in your worlds :)
Transients Volume 1 will be officially released tomorrow!!
The music on the album was recorded in October last year, and has been brought to life by an amazing crew of people including Flora Carbo (alto saxophone), Julien Wilson (tenor saxophone, clarinet & bass clarinet), James Macaulay (trombone), Sam Anning (double bass), Stephen Magnusson (guitar), Leigh Fisher (drums), Christopher Hale (bass guitar) & James McLean (drums), plus sound engineer Ross Cockle & mixing/mastering by Philip Rex, and beautiful cover art by Luke Fraser.
You can purchase hard copy and digital versions online from my website or Bandcamp.
Over the two days in the studio in 2018 we managed to record enough material for two albums, so expect volume 2 later in 2019...
Speaking of Transients, I'm joined by Stephen Magnusson & Leigh Fisher tonight at Uptown Jazz Cafe in Melbourne. This is one of my favourite trios. Please join us if you can!
Speaking of albums, I've spent the last few months buying back my old albums from record companies, and now have nearly all for sale through my website and bandcamp page. (Links as above). These include very limited copies (1 or 2) of Mikrokosmos, Angels & Rascals, and Footprints, plus Wave Rider, Galumphing 'Round the Nation, Little Claps, Three Lanes, and Family Portraits, and of course the more recent Still Night, Five Below, and The Komeda Project.
I'm thrilled that a mini solo piano piece I wrote as a dedication when my youngest child was born, Deep Blue, features on Move 50 - a celebration of 50 years of Move records in Australia. The most thrilling part is that it's played by Michael Kieran Harvey and he makes it sound SO good!!! So, so good, that I think I need to employ him to perform all my compositions in lieu of me...
You can check out the album here.
Upcoming activity this month includes performances at the Stonnington Jazz Festival with Kathleen Halloran, the Sam Anning Sextet, and The Australian Art Orchestra, plus a recording with the AAO of two stunning programs we performed last year in London and Poland.

Although it's now autumn in Australia, the summer spell is still strong in Melbourne :)
I had a busy February composing new music for a series of concerts at the Adelaide Festival later this week. Thanks to my dear friend and inspiring musical companion, Genevieve Lacey, who has curated an incredible weekend of music at the Ukaria Cultural Centre in the Adelaide Hills from this coming Friday to Monday, I've been given the opportunity to spend a week in Adelaide making music with a wealth of early music specialists, contemporary musicians and indigenous singer/songwriters. I'll be premiering two commissioned works Compassionately Yours... (strings, piano & revox), and Home (solo piano). More info below.
Later in March I'll be travelling to NSW to perform Ellen Kirkwood's impressive work [A]part with Sirens Big Band in Bathurst and the Blue Mountains. While there, I'll also be playing a short duo set with another dear friend and mentor Sandy Evans. See below for more information.

Duo with Sandy Evans, Festivals in Wangaratta, Sydney, Perth, London & Poland, the premier of new works with the Australian Art Orchestra, The release of the Komeda Project album, plus Mondays @ the Jazzlab and Transient Thursdays @ Uptown and more!
November is huge!! Thank goodness the sun has finally come out in Melbourne to lift our spirits :)
This month involves some travel around Australia and a trip to UK & Poland, two premiers, an album release and lots of festivals!!!
Tonight I perform with my hero Sandy Evans at the MRC Salon (tickets are still available). You can read an interview Sandy and I did about our new duo here.
Tomorrow I travel to Wangaratta (VIC) to premier a new work with the Australian Art Orchestra as part of their 'Sometimes Home Can Grow Stranger Than Space' program, which illuminates stories of peoples return to civilian life post WWI. My piece 'Bent Heart' draws on the stories of four women, as told in the book 'World War One: a history in 100 stories' (Bruce Scates, Rebecca Wheatley & Laura James). It's been a huge honour to work on this project. Included in the program are also new pieces by Peter Knight and Tilman Robinson. We've been rehearsing all week and the music is sounding amazing!! This group is also off to the London Jazz Festival this month to perform the same program, and then a trip to perform at Jazztopad, Wroclaw, Poland to premier more new works by Peter Knight and myself, including my reimagined 'Hurry Slowly II'.
At the Wangaratta Jazz Festival Sandy & I will be performing another duo set, and the two of us will also feature with Gian Slater and the Sirens in Ellen Kirkwood's epic and amazing suite [A]part. Ellen's Art Music Award nominated work (which was recorded in Sydney last month) is now available for purchase. You can read some words from Ellen about the making of the suite here. If you can't make it Wangaratta this weekend [A]part will also appear at the Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival on November 13th (details below).
Speaking of the Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival, I'm thrilled that Still night: Music in Poetry has been invited to perform at the festival on November 8th with Vince Jones & Gian Slater. (Details below).
Last year I was interviewed by memoleaves.com about the work. You can listen to it here.
In 2014/2015 Miroslav Bukovsky and I ran an octet called the Komeda Project - it was one of the best bands I've ever played in and written for - Jonathan Zwartz, Evan Mannell, Ben Hauptmann, Erkki Veltheim, Andrew Robson, James Greening and Miroslav Bukovsky. We recorded the music back then but all my attempts to secure funding to release it failed. Four years on, the music is still as great as ever so, I've self funded the final stages of the process and am proud to release it to the world! Available now through Bandcamp & my website!!
I'm also excited to be travelling to Perth this month for the Perth International Jazz Festival, to perform with the Sam Anning Sextet, and also the first of the Transient trios with Julien Wilson & Sam Anning. We recorded and filmed one of our recent gigs, here are some of the pieces from that night: RainMan, Sleep Cycles & Without Voice.
The regular Monday nights @ the Jazzlab continue, and in my absence will feature two brilliant Melbourne-based musicians, Kathleen Halloran and her trio, and Angela Davis in trio with Tony Gould & Sam Anning. Thursday nights @ Uptown Jazz Cafe continue with piano trios led by Joel Trigg, Sam Keevers & Tony Gould. Details on all can be found below.
The Girls Do Jazz workshops are proving incredibly fun and rewarding for all. They continue monthly and will culminate in a workshop/performance at the Jazzlab in December as part of the Melbourne Women's International Jazz Festival, which runs from December 2 - 9. More details on this down the track.
And finally, I now have the Five Below Hoodies in a full range of sizes. Please feel free to contact me here if you're interested in purchasing one. You can also visit my bandcamp page for more on CD, digital and hoodie purchases. Or come to a Five Below gig! If you can't make it to a Five Below gig, here are some videos of the band for your enjoyment: Fern Tree, Grand Forfeit & Illuminate.

Girls Do Jazz Workshop
I'm thrilled to be presenting 5 workshops (one per month between August – December 2018) at the Faculty of Fine Arts & Music University of Melbourne
Want to be inspired, get more involved in the world of jazz and improvised music, foster relationships with emerging and established musicians, engage with a likeminded creative community and develop your musical skills and career path through informal performances, rehearsals and discussions?
Girls Do Jazz aims to address the gender imbalance in jazz music by giving young students an opportunity to hear, interact, converse, and perform with women who are following professional pathways in jazz and improvised music. Workshop sessions will incorporate a repertoire of blues, jazz standards, modal playing, original tunes and free improvisation.
The course is suitable for 15-20 year old female instrumentalists with an interest in jazz and improvisation and those intending to audition for Jazz & Improvisation at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music in the future.

Port Fairy Spring Music Festival, Duo with Sandy Evans, The Komeda Project album, plus Mondays @ the Jazzlab and Transient Thursdays @ Uptown and more!
Although I have next to zero interest in the AFL grand final, I won't complain about having a public holiday today in VIC! Anything that gives rise to family time and the possibility of slowing time down is welcome :)
The premier of 'Hurry Slow' by senior VCASS students at the MRC was a huge success last week. I'm quite sure the students were far more relaxed about it all than I! (It was my conducting debut, and let's just say the EMH stage at the MRC is a long way from the ottoman in my childhood lounge room in Randwick NSW...) The students absolutely shone and I was super proud of them and the music we created.
This month I travelled to Sydney for a few days to record Ellen Kirkwood's epic suit [A]part. It's an incredible piece of music for big band + Sandy Evans and Gian Slater and will be released as an album in late October/early November with performances at Wangaratta jazz festival and the Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival. I'll provide details as they come in.
Speaking of Sandy Evans - my inspirational mentor - the two of us will be playing in duo on two occasions in early November. Nov 1 at the MRC Salon and Nov 3 at Wangaratta Jazz Festival. This is a dream for me!!
In 2014/2015 Miroslav Bukovsky and I ran an octet called the Komeda Project - it was one of the best bands I've ever played in and written for - Jonathan Zwartz, Evan Mannell, Ben Hauptmann, Erkki Veltheim, Andrew Robson, James Greening and Miroslav Bukovsky. We recorded the music back then but all my attempts to secure funding to release it failed. Four years on, the music is still as great as ever so, I've self funded the final stages of the process and will be proud to release it to you in early November. Watch this space!
Spring has sprung and the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival will be on here in Victoria in a couple of weeks. I'm thrilled to be presenting both Five Below and Still Night with special guests Kristin Berardi and Mark Sholtez. Details below.
The regular Monday nights @ the Jazzlab, and Thursday nights @ Uptown Jazz Cafe continue with even more trios and projects.
Details on all can be found below.
And finally, I now have the Five Below Hoodies in a full range of sizes. Please feel free to contact me here if you're interested in purchasing one. You can also visit my bandcamp page for more on CD, digital and hoodie purchases. Or come to a Five Below gig!

Artwork hints at new Mikami project
Creepy sketches show up on dev blog.
News by Fred Dutton Contributor
Updated on 27 Apr 2012
Looking for a clue as to what Shinji Mikami might be up to at Zenimax? Well, look no further than these spooky doodles that popped up on Tango Gameworks' blog.
Spotted by Siliconera and credited to 'O-sensei', there's no clue as to what exactly they represent or whether they pertain to a future game. Maybe they're just early ideas for Shinji's annual Christmas card?
Bethesda and id Software owner Zenimax last week announced that it had bought the Vanquish director's Tango Gameworks studio.
Earlier today Mikami confirmed that the deal would not affect his work with Suda51 on EA's forthcoming survival horror blockbuster Shadows of the Damned.

Baker's Choice Highlight
Baker's Choice Highlight: Kyle
"It's a refreshing feeling to be in the gym, focused on myself, without feeling like I hate what I see in the mirror. It's powerful." - Kyle
"As a kid, I was thrown into sports by my parents. I believe being the only son, gave them the expectations that I would be a sports fanatic, but in reality, I was not that kid. I did attempt sports, like baseball, soccer, basketball, etc… but I just never found my passion in them. I loved to dance, but as an overweight kid, it did not seem realistic to pursue.
I started my fitness journey after highschool. I was 350+ lbs at the end of my senior year, and a few friends I was close to started the gym. So I started to avoid being left out, but little did I know that I would end up loving it.
The minute I saw results, started receiving attention that I was not used to, I became addicted to that feeling. So I ended up diving into fitness for all the wrong reasons. I had a mindset of ego, aesthetics, and a sense of entitlement at the gym.
I eventually dove into volleyball and curveball. I enjoyed it in highschool gym, but never really knew how to play. So I learned, and became pretty good at it. I traveled the US, competing in tournaments as a setter, but again, for all the wrong reasons. Yes, I loved the sport, but I also loved the attention I was getting from people I never expected too.
If you can't tell by now, I was pretty obsessed with finding that next "fix" of attention from people. I never really did fitness for myself, and was geared more towards seeking approval from others, and validation of my worth.
That being said, I burnt out pretty quickly, and quit all fitness related activities in my life. Having an all or nothing mindset was super difficult to find a middle ground. So I began to reflect and understand myself. Mental health is just as important as your physical health.
Fast forward to today, I found the world of powerlifting, and a healthy balance of life, fitness, and emotional stability. I worked with a health coach to redefine my relationship with food, to not see good/bad foods, and not to be kinder to myself. That helped tremendously, when diving into Powerlifting. I found community, support, and relatable people, especially as a Queer person. Everyone has been so positive, and accepting of one another, and for that, I am thankful.
"It's beautiful to see a representation of the real world. People of all shapes, sizes, colors, backgrounds, etc… being represented makes everyone feel like they belong, and that they can do it too." - Kyle
Today's world is pretty difficult to navigate for almost everyone. From current events, to politics, to your personal life, it doesn't stop. So for me, I found it to be overwhelming to compartmentalize each focus in life, and not allow it to crumble my mental health and emotional being.
Strength training has been a great outlet for me. It gives me a space to clear my mind, focus on myself for a bit, and get out any frustrations/negative emotions. It also gives me the sense of community, which for me, is so important. Support systems are so underrated anymore, and having people in your corner that share the same passion as you, but also come from different walks of life, has truly helped me. Support is everything.
For me, powerlifting is the sport that I can truly say, I love. I love it tremendously. It allows me to feel a sense of accomplishment hitting numbers my coach has set for me weekly. It also takes away the aesthetic piece that many people face in the fitness industry. Powerlifting cares about what weight you put on that bar and how you execute. It truly is you vs you in this sport with no stress on how others will view me, or how I view myself. It really helped me get out of my toxic mindsets I had set in the past and just live in the moment, for myself. It's a refreshing feeling to be in the gym, focused on myself, without feeling like I hate what I see in the mirror. It's powerful.
KFKF's message legit hits me to my core. I think the industry and world is changing from what I was trained to believe in as a kid. As a kid, you see the same people represented in sports, movies, music, tv, etc… and as a kid, you tend to feel like you're different based on what you do not see represented.
Today, self love, body diversity, equal rights, etc...play a huge role in how many of us live our lives. It's beautiful to see a representation of the real world. People of all shapes, sizes, colors, backgrounds, etc… being represented makes everyone feel like they belong, and that they can do it too.
For a company like KFKF to openly support and preach values that make others feel loved, supported, and seen, is a beautiful thing. It's much more than just a clothing company, it's a brand. It's a message. It's a vision, and everyone that wears KFKF clothing represents and stands for that message, and vision.

In today's post I'm going to touch on an issue that I've addressed before and get asked about frequently, which is the topic of signing exclusive deals. I've licensed a fair amount of music via a publisher that I have an exclusive arrangement with, so I'm certainly open to this arrangement. But there are a lot of factors to consider before signing this type of deal.
This issue has hit closer to home recently as I'm in the process of actively pitching new material of my own and have been getting some offers to sign exclusively with a few different places.
1) What is the company or person's tracks record?
If I'm going to enter into an exclusive arrangement with someone I want to know what their track record of placing music is. Do they have a long history of placing lots of music? If so, this is clearly a positive sign that will factor heavily in my decision. On the other hand, if they've only had a few placements or have only been in business for a short time, I'd be very reluctant to give them my songs exclusively. I want to know that the odds of getting my music placed are stacked in my favor and one of the best indicators of this is how much music they've actually placed.
2) Do they have a specific project or projects in mind they want to pitch my music to?
When I signed my first exclusive deal in 2002, my publisher had a specific project in mind that she thought my music would be a good fit for. After I signed our contract, I had my first placement about three weeks later. This is a question I always ask when I'm offered exclusive deals. If they don't have anything specific in mind or if there answer is vague, I don't automatically decline, but I'm certainly less excited. To me, if there's no specific idea of where my music will be pitched it says to me that they just want to grow their catalog for future projects which my music may or may not be a good fit for. This isn't an indication my music won't be licensed, but chances are it won't be placed right away if they have no specific projects to pitch my music to.
3) What do they think my chances of having my music placed are?
No one in this business can guarantee you placement until your music is actually pitched and accepted. But If I'm going to give someone exclusive rights to my tracks I want to get a feel for how likely they think it is they'll be able to place my tracks. I'm looking to see how enthusiastic they are about my music. Do they think there's a strong demand for what I'm doing stylistically? Again, there are no guarantees, but a good publisher can make an educated guess.
4) What other offers do I have on the table?
When I'm pitching new music, there are usually at least a few dozen places I'm reaching out to. Ultimately, it's about signing the best deal with the best company at any given time. The bottom line is I want to sign with whoever I think I'll have the best chances of getting my music licensed through. At the end of the day, If I think a company that requires exclusivity will have a better chance at placing my music then that's the company I'll go with.


Topcats Racing Marcos show they still have what it takes to get in front of the Ferraris.
Topcats Racing's Marcos Mantis GT cars showed to a crowded Castle Combe that even a £½ m GT2 Ferrari can't necessarily beat the years of development that have gone in to making the aging Marcos one of the fastest racing GT cars in the UK.
Although the Marcos of Neil Huggins and Raphael Fiorentino was pipped to pole position by 1 tenth of a second by the Aaron Scott Ferrari, the championship leading GT2 Ferrari of Gamski/Robinson sat on the second row for the start of the race, as did the Ferrari 430 of Cameron/Edmonson. It was a great sight to see the Marcos fronting the prancing horses.

Thank you for all the kind, supportive comments on my last post. It's difficult to write about this because my emotions are so up and down. Rapid cycling thoughts. But I think it's important that I write some of it down.
I have had moments of peace and clarity in the last week and it is mostly when I remember that what I'm doing (becoming sober) is hard and beautiful and worth it. And I want to get that down for the moments when all I feel is despair. And rage. Oh, the rage.
Although I believed my husband was 100% supportive of me being sober, I can see now that he was reluctantly so. Of course, he wanted me to feel better. But I think he wished that I could get better and then drink again. I don't know that he ever really wanted to understand that I was actually dealing with addiction. Part of me believes that he would have to look at his own self in order to fully grasp this.
Anyways, I digress. I don't want to spend a lot of time analyzing him and what drove him to end our relationship. You know what? I will probably never really understand exactly because humans are complicated. Many of us barely understand our own minds and feelings let alone someone else's. And whatever caused this on his part will make no difference to the outcome for me.
It is wild to me that this is where my recovery path has led me. You honestly never know what life is going to bring.
I've written before on this blog about my fear that my husband's and my differences will cause us to grow apart. Socially we don't have much of a common ground any longer and I don't think either one of us knows how to resolve it. I have wanted things in life that he does not want. Many times I feel held back or that I have had to compromise too much for the relationship.
So when he spoke those words one week ago, in my heart I knew what he was saying was true. I just don't like to admit what my heart knows all the time. Because it's scary and painful and dreadful to think of uprooting. I also love him dearly but it's maybe not the right kind of love to spend a lifetime with someone. Possible? For sure. The best possible? I doubt it.
I also took a lot of pleasure and pride in being committed. There were many times I could have left; instead, I compromised. One could say I sacrificed. Which only makes this pain so much worse. After all I have given up, now, he leaves. Now, he is done. Without even trying, it seems.
What this pushed me to do is tell my family about my sobriety. This past week I told them when I told them about the break-up. It was easy in the end to finally just say it. Of course, they were much more concerned about the relationship ending and my broken heart than the fact that I can no longer drink alcohol. So… I am "out". I can't quite access how it feels as all my feelings are so mixed up and I can't quite isolate one from the other right now. But I suspect that being honest about my addiction and recovery with the people in my life I am closest to and who love me the most will help me feel free. More will be revealed in time.
I've been on the recovery path for about 2.5-3 years now. All there was in the beginning was despair. I had no idea how to get well and a very faint notion of what being well even was. Through research, study, practice, reaching out, counselling, introspection, writing, and trying different tools and strategies I feel I finally have a grasp on being sober. I believe with every ounce of my being that this is the right choice- the only choice- for me to have a happy and successful life. Even though I am still in early recovery, I had a solid sober stint last year (nearly 11 months) and in the last two years I have been sober much more than not. It all adds up. Today I don't feel 3.5 months sober- instead all the sober things I've learned and done has accumulated even though there have been drinks in between.
I know that this is true because I am pulling on my different tools and strengths I've gained since getting sober to deal with my emotions right now. In the times of darkness, I know there is a light somewhere inside me that I can access- if not in this moment then perhaps in the next one.
I know that the only way through these emotions is to feel them. I am afraid to feel them, but I am doing it anyways. If I want to cry, I cry. The emotions come and go like waves. When I feel angry, I express it (usually by sharing it with a friend). I accept the support that my friends and family are giving me even though my tendency is want to isolate and be alone with it all. I know I can't do this alone.
When I first got sober I had to have faith that it would get better. I believed the words that bloggers said about how it does in time. It is the only way to get through those beginning days and nights that are filled with craving, fear, and the insanity of addiction. Slowly, over time, I saw that life did get better being sober. I was happier, more stable, had more integrity, and liked myself better. It's still hard, but always better than being trapped in that revolving door of drinking/hangover/drinking/hangover.
I am trying to rely on that same faith right now. That I will feel better again, feel happy one day without my partner by my side.
One week before this happened I went to retreat on a farm on a small island close to me. I joined 25 other women for yoga, organic food, hiking, paddling, self-care, and talking about recovery. I met some amazing women and my sober network has started to grow. It is kind of strange that right before my break-up, I was welcomed into a new, supportive, awake, alive, recovery tribe. I feel held and supported. And I have no regrets of this path I'm on.
I am struck that if I didn't have my sobriety, I would be absolutely falling apart right now. But also that if I wasn't sober, maybe this wouldn't be happening at all. It is the one big way in which I've changed- the biggest way in which we've "grown apart". I've changed; I am changing. And I think for the better. If my relationship could not survive it, I'm sorry for it, but I can't go back. I love him very much, but I love myself more these days. That is the coolest thing about sobriety and recovery- the self-love that grows.
I am up and down like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster. Most of the day my heart feels broken. The things and details that come with separation feel entirely overwhelming. I'm angry that he gave up on us so easily after all. But I have ME: sober, alive, vital, lucid, clear, strong, and healthy. And I'm scared, but I think I'll be okay.
I have reached 100 consecutive sober days today, and yet. And yet and still. It is with a heavy heart that I write this post tonight.
My partner/spouse/common-law husband/fiancé/best friend/lover: some of the many things he is to me, of 10 years (just celebrated last month actually), has chosen to end our relationship.
Gah. I don't even know what to write about it. I have been so up and down and all over the place over the last week.
He states it's because we have grown apart. We are apparently on "different paths", and he isn't sure he is in love with me anymore.
And what path are you on, my dear?
I know what path I'm on.
I am on a path to wholeness.

A deer has been stranded on an island above Niagara Falls for almost a year
Move over, Bambi; there's a new celebrity in town. After being stuck atop Niagara Falls for about a year, a white-tailed deer is becoming a minor star on social media, with multiple Canadians lobbying for government officials to rescue the animal.
Ontario Wildlife Rescue first reported on the deer in a Facebook post way back in August 2019.
"Deer trapped on Island above Niagara Falls," the organization wrote, attaching a photo of the stranded deer.
Now, almost 365 days later, Ontario Wildlife Rescue told Freshdaily that the animal is still stuck there.
"We have had many report[s] of the deer and that it is still on the island," Ontario Wildlife Rescue said.

They added that multiple people have contacted the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), but that the Ministry is "reluctant to rescue the deer as they worry that an attempt could frighten the deer causing it to go into the water and potentially over the falls."
The most recent footage of the deer was captured in July, and multiple people have posted in the Facebook group to say that they have also recently seen the deer alive and well.

Many Canadians are baffled by the deer's ability to survive on such a small island, and some are eagerly calling for the government to rescue the deer before it's too late.
"This [d]eer is a social distance master!" another person wrote. "Over a year and a half on the island, living their best life. I'm not gonna lie, I'm super impressed."
"Surely there must be something you can do?" yet another person asked Ontario Wildlife Rescue.
Sadly, it seems the answer to that question is a negative, according to a Canadian that reached out to the MNRF regarding the deer.

The Ministry reportedly told the Ontario resident that they don't rescue animals that are stranded — including the deer.
"To avoid placing human responders at risk, as well as placing additional undue stress on wildlife (which can actually be worse for their long-term health) the ministry does not rescue animals that appear to be stranded or abandoned," the MNRF reportedly wrote.
The Ministry added that white-tailed deer are "exceptional swimmers" and that the deer will likely be able to make the return trip across the water when it's ready.
Hang in there, little guy.

Q: При конвертации объекта в json, а затем обратно теряется информация о файле Проблема состоит в том, что нужно узнать информацию о том, сколько весит файл, и когда был редактирован в последний раз, но при использовании данного кода =>=>=>

onDropFiles(files) {
  console.log(files) // до конвертации всё нормально
  let objFile = JSON.stringify(files)
  console.log(objFile);
  console.log(JSON.parse(objFile)); //здесь же получаю только лишь 2 значения

},

остаётся только то, что выделено жирным в консоли, в чём может быть ошибка?
Скрин до

Скрин после

A: Начну с того почему теряется информация, скорее всего по причине того что в объекте файл определена функция которая выбирает именно эти 2 поля для сериализации в строку наверно по причине того что данные изначально строки в отличие от остальных (числа, даты)
Вот пример как это может происходить:

class Person {
  constructor(name, date){
    this.name = name
    this.date = date
  }
}

p = new Person('JOHN', new Date())
console.log(JSON.stringify(p)); // будет и имя и дата

p.toJSON = function(){ return {"name": this.name}} // <------
console.log(JSON.stringify(p)); // тут не будет даты

Извлечение данных из объектов можно делать гораздо более удобным способом, разумеется с дополнительными проверками. Например файл может быть один, или несколько, тогда это либо объект либо массив объектов. Как только мы определились с тем что же мы получили на входе, нам нужно извлечь к примеру дату и размер из файла:
const {lastModifiedDate, size} = file // files[0]

Таким образом в случае с одним файлом можно получить нужную информацию в константы. Если файлов будет много то делаем то же самое но в цикле, сохраняя в массив.

Why Kashmir: Exposing The Myth Behind The Narrative is a must read
Khalid Bashir Ahmad's book makes it difficult to accept the fairy tales of Nilmata Purana about the creation of Kashmir.
The tale goes thus: "O best among the kings, the goddess Uma is the same as Kashmira. What was formerly an enjoyable, heart-enrapturing lake for six Manvantras since the beginning of the Kalpa became a beautiful territory in this Manvantra," said Vaisampayana to Jananejaya in reply to his question as to why a woman was crowned the ruler of Kashmira.
"On the bank of this heart-enrapturing lake, lotus eyed Indra was once sporting with the consort Sachi. On this beautiful goddess fell the eye of Daitya Chief named Sangrha. The Daitya Chief became subject to passion and desirous of carrying away Sachi, and in his excitement discharged semen into the lake. The child born out of the evil-minded Sangrha's discharged semen was brought up by the Nagas and called Jalodbhava, the water-born."
The tale further tells about the travelling sage Kashyapa, his alliance with Nila Brahama and other gods, his altercation with the Nagas and the intervention of Vaishnu telling Nila to live in the company of men.
As Akhter Mohi-ud-Din writes in his book, A Fresh Approach To History Of Kashmir: "It is quite obvious that the tale is in no way intended as an historical narrative, but, instead, has been woven to put forth the religious beliefs of the narrators."
Like Akhter, Khalid shreds the authenticity of Nilmata Purana, and even Rajtarangni. Only Exposing The Myth Behind The Narrative is more extensively researched and solidly argued.
Khalid demolishes the Naga myth with the hammer of evidence: there is no archaeological proof about their existence. The Nagas, he argued, existed only in the imaginations of the authors of Nilmat Purana and Rajtarangni.
Quoting Abdur Rashid Lone, who teaches Ancient Indian History and Archaeology at the University of Kashmir, he writes: "Nagas do have a historical base in the mainland of India. Certain temple shrines and sculptures there are ascribed to them. But as far as Kashmir Valley is concerned, except in Nilmata Purana and Rajtarangini, they do not exist. From the archaeological perspective, we do not have any concrete evidence of their presence in Kashmir."
Khalid also exposes the lies of Brahman chroniclers about the transformation of Kashmir from a Hindu kingdom to a Muslim society.
He has furnished proof that the Hindu community was well placed during Mughal, Afghan, Sikh and Dogra regimes even as the poor Muslims suffered silently. About the allegation that Hindus were forcibly converted to Islam, Khalid says the transformation of Kashmir from a Hindu kingdom to a Muslim society was a long drawn out process spread over about three centuries.
Khalid points out that Brahman chroniclers did not say a word about the patronage of Sanskrit by Muslim kings. They are also silent about the reluctance of Sultan Shihab-ud-Din to melt Hindu idols for making coins despite the counsel of his Hindu minister Udayashri. They are also silent about the genocide of Buddhists at the hands of the Brahmans.
Khalid explains how Brahmans exercised influence over Afghans and other repressive regimes; one of them even became the governor of Kabul. The Pandits always played the role of "fifth columnists" after the Mughal occupied Kashmir.
The book also throws light on the so-called genocide of the Pandits in the late 1980s and their migration in 1990. Khalid rejects the figures about the killings of the Pandits, as also the allegations of gang rape of a Pandit woman. About the latter he writes: "The scene of the alleged crime was reported as Hazratbal in Srinagar. In response to a query asked through an RTI application addressed to the State Home Department, the Srinagar Police denies the incident having taken place. To a question whether this incident took place, the police responded with an emphatic 'No'."
The figures on the killings furnished by Panun Kashmir, Khalid writes, have been rejected even by members of the community. "Sanjay Tikoo asserts that 399 members of their community were killed in a span of 20 years. Tikoo rejects the claims of Panun Kashmir as mere propaganda. Even Tikoo's estimate of casualties is contested by some fellow Kashmiri Pandits who like him did not migrate from the Valley."
Moti Lal Bhat observes: "I think the government's figures of 219 are incorrect...I reject this figure of 650 and even the figure 399."
Khalid cites scores of examples to expose the falsehood in the claims of so-called leaders and saviours of the Hindu community.
Responding to the claim that around 7,00,000 Pandits migrated from the valley in 1990. Khalid writes: "According to the census of 1981, the total population of Hindus in Kashmir (including non-Kashmiris) was 1,24,078. Given the decadal growth of the community from 1971 to 1981 as 6.75 percent, there population in 1991 would have been 132,453."
According to him, the total number of Pandits who left the valley in 1990 is about 1,24,453.

Why Is The Giant's Causeway Hexagonal?
Have you ever been to the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland? It's a remarkable natural wonder: columns of hexagons, all reaching up into the sky right beside the coast. Although we mostly associate hexagons with honeycomb patterns in beehives, this shape can also be found across the world in lava formations, specifically columnar basalt, a common type of lava. Although volcanologists knew how these columns formed, it remained a mystery as to why they formed in hexagons, as opposed to pentagons or triangles or any other shape. Now, thanks to a team of researchers at the Dresden University of Technology, this mystery has been solved.
Columnar basalt is unlike normal basaltic lava as it cools. Most commonly effusing from volcanic vents of various types, basalt tends to either form a'a, a rubbly kind of lava, or pahoehoe, a stringy, ropey form of lava. Either way, both types start as lava emerging from a vent and eventually cooling a little further down the volcanic slope. The lava flows don't cool at the same rate all the way through, however; while the top surface of the lava flows cool, the molten lava beneath – being thermally insulated from the atmosphere – takes a little longer.
Columnar basalt only crystallizes within a lava flow, slowly cooling in a more unusual way. When a small segment of the lava flow begins to cool from the inside, it contracts, and it fractures as it does so. When cooling rates are fairly uniform, with the heat from the lava escaping at regular intervals, it contracts and fractures fairly evenly, leading to tall, well-developed, generally hexagonal basalt columns.
The cooling rates of developing columnar basalt are often far from uniform, though. In many cases, the lava cools too rapidly, and smaller, irregular, glassy columns crystallize out, with pentagonal shapes, hexagonal shapes, and sometimes heptagonal shapes all precipitating.
Either way, hexagonal shaped-columns mostly tend to form, and the precise reason for why this morphology was preferred has remained a mystery. A new study published in the journal Physical Review Letters has solved this conundrum by creating a computer model to work it out.
When the researchers' virtual lava began to cool evenly, much in the way natural subsurface lava cools, it began generating cracks at 90° to each other. As cooling continued, these cracks grew larger, forcing the angles to change to 120° – the same angle found in each corner of a hexagon.
As one column began to cool down to ambient temperatures, preserving its hexagonal shape, the same cooling process occurred around it. When one well-developed, symmetrical hexagonal column forms, therefore, many more tend to form around it, producing magnificent collections of columnar basalt like that seen at the Giant's Causeway.


Hove Civic Society supports steps that increase renewable heat and power in the city; we believe this is essential in future-proofing our city, reducing our carbon footprint and keeping consumers' utility bills as low as possible.
The gas-fired modern Shoreham power station generates electricity, but heat generated in the process (cooling water) is discharged into the sea. We believe that the energy contained in the cooling water could make a substantial contribution to the heating needs of the city, for example, via a district heating system.
We realise that such a system would be costly and disruptive over a number of years. However, we believe that rising energy prices may well make it a worthwhile undertaking. The Society is lobbying for a proper engineering study to be carried out to establish the feasibility of using this waste heat.
The water near the power station is twice the temperature of the surrounding area, and the Society's secretary John Kapp regularly swims there.
We have been in contact with our local MP Mike Weatherley on this issue, and he has forwarded our questions to Ministers in the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
Gregory Barker: Article 14 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive requires member states to conduct a detailed assessment of the national potential for district heating and cooling, including mapping heating and cooling demand and supply points by 31 December 2015. This Article also requires that, when authorising new or substantially refurbished installations, member states shall, ensure that a cost benefit assessment is conducted considering the case for recovering industrial waste heat for use in district heating. The directive does not require individual towns to develop heat plans and will not start to take effect until 2014.
As the directive has not yet been published our plans for its transposition are at an early stage. Transposition of the cost benefit assessment requirements appears to lend itself best to implementation via the Environmental Permitting regime, which would be likely to include development of guidance for applicants for permits. The Government envisages consulting on transposing regulations and draft guidance in mid 2013.
DECC published "The Future of Heating: A strategic framework for low carbon heat in the UK" (external link) in March 2012.
Alongside this, the Department published a national heat map (external link) which maps heat demand in industry and public, commercial and residential buildings, as well as indicating the location of powerplant and combined heat and power schemes as potential sources of heat.
We are now developing a heat policy publication for March 2013, building on this earlier work. This will cover the utilisation of waste heat and optimal levels of district heating in the UK.
Gregory Barker: The Department is working with a range of local authorities, cities, trade associations, energy service companies and other key stakeholders to identify barriers and issues around the installation of heat networks. The practical arrangements for permission to install district heating will be one of the issues addressed in our forthcoming policy document on low carbon heating. There are currently no special arrangements in place for the installation of heat pipes under streets, railway lines or waterways.
Gregory Barker: We are exploring ways to promote the development of low carbon combined heat and power and district heating as part of our ongoing heat strategy work to decarbonise heating in the UK.
We are currently involved in EU negotiations of the draft energy efficiency directive.
The directive includes provisions exploring opportunities for connection of CHP and district heating where cost-effective.
Gregory Barker: Various fuel types and technologies can be used for CHP and for district heating, at a number of different scales. Therefore, rates of return on capital are dependent on particular circumstances and vary considerably between different schemes. Following the publication of a Strategic Framework for Heat, officials in the Department are looking closely at barriers to the development of CHP and heat networks, including but not restricted to commercial and economic issues such as rates of return.
Gregory Barker: We are currently working with a number of cities exploring the potential for low carbon heat networks to consider ways in which the Department can assist their development.
Gregory Barker: The primary purpose of the RHI is to increase renewable heat generation in order to contribute to our legally binding EU 2020 renewable energy target as set out in the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED).
Heat rejected by power stations comes from fossil or nuclear fuels and is not classified as renewable under the RED.
As set out in the strategic framework for low carbon heat, published in March, we are keen to promote the recovery and re-use of heat, including from power stations. In the strategy we undertook to consult on policy proposals by March 2013. We are investigating options to support this form of heating as part of these proposals.
Gregory Barker: Heat rejected from power stations comes from fossil or nuclear fuels so it is not classified as renewable under the Renewable Energy Directive.
Gregory Barker: As recorded in the Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) 2011, combined heat and power (CHP) reduced carbon emissions by 13 million tonnes of CO2 in 2010 when compared against electricity generated from fossil fuels. CHP saved 9.3 million tonnes CO2 when compared to all fuels, including renewables and nuclear.
These figures include district heating schemes that are connected to CHP plants. We currently do not have data on district heating schemes fuelled from non-CHP sources.
Gregory Barker: DECC Ministers and senior officials have visited a number of European cities including in Germany, Denmark and Sweden, as well as pioneering cities in the UK, to learn more about various low carbon options including CHP. Officials keep abreast of international developments as part of their evidence-gathering to inform development of the Government's long term heat strategy.

Lagaan is undoubtedly Bollywood's most priced possession and it has achieved classic status in a short time span itself. Here is a movie which is perfect in every sense and you would wonder if there is another Lagaan possible in another 100 years. Lagaan is an epic, with the grandeur and the scale with which Ashutosh Gowarikar portrayed the plight of the farmers in a village, in the British occupied India. The story was a revelation; about the power of goodness and humanity. It speaks volumes about the collective human spirit and the movie proves that you can move mountains with united human spirit. It was a flawless movie and the every aspect of the movie stood shining, be it the authentic sets, costumes by Oscar winning Bhanu Athaiya, music by another Oscar winner A R Rahman, story, screenplay, dialogues, acting (especially, large number of supporting characters), cinematography, choreography and above all Ashutosh Gowarikar's taut direction. So many factors came together as if magic and you will see nothing but brilliance on every frame. Such a movie comes once in every 100 years, may be!
3 Idiots was a complete entertainer and at the same time it carried a message. Raj Kumar Hirani was always known for his social relevant yet entertaining movies and '3 idiots' followed the tradition. It makes some solid statements about the age old education system in India. Inspired by the Chetan Bhagat book, '5 point someone', it deals with the pressure students face as far as choosing career is concerned. It's your parents or the demanding society that decide the best career for you and you end up studying one of those courses which are straight ticket to high paying jobs and you lead a bitter existence for the rest of your life. Is everyone prepared for that? Hirani was trying to shed some light in to the otherwise neglected issue and it met with thunderous applause from all quarters. Students across the country could instantly connect with the helplessness shared by the protagonists, all the while enjoying the 'balatkar' speech of Omi Vaidya.
Can Bollywood ever stop making those highly romantic movies for which the industry has been known for a long time? We love to fall in love with the quintessential hero and heroine of Bollywood romantic movies. We want to sing and dance with them and that feeling never changes. Jab We Met is the only typical romantic movie on the list and clearly defines romance we have seen in the last decade. Indians constantly face the east versus west conflicts, especially the youth in the cities. On one hand Speed-dating and live in relationships are catching on fast and at on the other hand we are not yet ready to leave our tender Indian values. Family, parents and every other age old symbols are dear to us. Here comes, Imtiaz Ali, the master story teller who can speak non stop about heart and its little dilemmas for hours, of course after Yash Chopra. He creates an iconic character like Geet who is able to keep you glued to your seat with her inimitable charm and purity. It was a time when we thought film makers stopped writing beautiful roles for a female actor and Imtiaz fleshed out a girl who we all have been waiting for. The typical boy-meets-girl story has its heart set at the right place. Though it was an out and out Kareena film Shahid Kapoor gave ample support in his difficult role which is in fact one of his career bests. It's not that easy job to stay in the background doing nothing but listening to non-stop Geet. He had to show that he's recovering from the past wounds and at the same time hopelessly falling in love with Kareena. The soft spoken Aditya and chatter box Geet are extremely likable and audience loved every bit of their interaction which also rekindled our faith in love stories all over again.

PTT STUDY
WHO ARE THESE CRANES?
Identification of subspecies of sandhill cranes requires the determination of gender which can not be ascertained from a physical examination. We hope that blood analyses will determine gender. Measurements used for comparison of subspecies are from two sources: Johnson and Stewart (1973) and Schmidt and Hale (1997). However, the birds reported in these studies were from the Mid-Continent Population (Central Flyway - - the migration corridor between the Rocky Mountains and Mississippi River), and those in the Pacific Flyway (west of the Rockies) may differ morphologically. Measurements were plotted on charts for comparisons.
The tarsus is the long bone in the lower leg. Length of tarsus (n = 7) measurements were generally shorter than Canadian sandhill cranes, and mostly within the upper limits for lessers.
Wing Chord
Wing chord is measured from the bend of the wing to the tip. Measurements (n = 8) overlapped with all 3 subspecies, but 4 of 8 birds were within the standard deviation for Canadians. One crane measured larger than any Canadians reported, but within the range for Greaters. The other 3 cranes were closest to means for lessers.
Exposed Culmen
This measurement is from the base of the upper mandible to the tip. Four exposed culmen measurements (n = 8) were closest to the ranges reported for Canadian sandhill cranes, while the other four fell between the ranges for Canadians and lessers.
Weights of cranes (n = 7) fell within the ranges for greater and Canadian sandhill cranes, with little overlap with reported weights of lessers. Most weights were closest to the means for Canadians, however, weights of two birds were closer to greaters.
Middle Toe
Measurements of the middle toe fell mostly within the upper ranges of lesser sandhill cranes with some overlap with female Canadians.
SUBSPECIES DETERMINATION
We believe that the cranes in this study were Canadian sandhill cranes. Most of their measurements were within the ranges reported for this subspecies. Disparities in some measurements may indicate that there are morphological differences between cranes of the Central Flyway and those of the Pacific Flyway. The fact that these cranes migrated to the B.C. and southern Alaska coasts also supports the conclusion that they are Canadians. According to the book The Birds of British Columbia (Campbell et al. 1990), about 1,500 Canadian sandhill cranes nest along the B.C. coast.
For the birds we captured , the head profiles seemed to match those of Canadians, with a flat forehead and medium bill (see photos of birds on the other pages). Lessers have a rounded head and fine, short bill, while Greaters also have a flattened forehead, but a longer bill. We also noted that the legs were shorter than greaters that we had previously handled. The heads of these birds appeared different than lesser sandhill cranes we have observed in California, and eastern Oregon and Washington, and their bills appeared shorter than typical greaters.

Being part of the RTG family of casinos they offer the largest jackpots available to Americans.

If Video Poker is your game, play single hand, 5 hand, 10 hand, 25 hand and 52 hand games for each of the Video Poker games offered below. Play 1 to 5 credits and bet as little as a nickle or several dollars per credit.
The following online video poker games are available at Lucky Red.
We always recommend playing the maximum number of credits for both Video Poker and Slots because many times there is an added win bonus when betting the maximum number of credits. If you usually play just 1 credit for $1 per game we recommend lowering your credit/coin value to 25 cents so you can bet the maximum number of credits. The total bet will be $1.25 instead of $1 but the extra 25 cents could turn into a lot more if you hit a special win bonus.
As you can see from the above, the Lucky Red Casino offers a great variety of table games, slots and video poker machines. If a particular game exists, chances are it is available at Lucky Red. The ability to choose from such a great variety of slot machines as well as table games and video poker machines is just another reason Lucky Red is our best USA online casino.
