Awesome Men Throughout History: Redd Foxx
By: Dave Kiefaber
Some people were just born to do a specific thing. That doesn't mean they didn't work hard to master it, what ever it was, nor does it mean there weren't setbacks along the way, but I'm just saying that some people have such natural gifts in one area that it's clear what they were put on this earth to do. Legendary comedian and actor Redd Foxx was one of those people, which certainly makes him eligible for Awesome Man status.
Not only that, but Redd lived and worked with Malcolm X (then petty drug dealer Malcolm Little) back in the 1940s; Malcolm refers to him as ?the funniest dishwasher on this earth? in his autobiography. If that doesn't earn him some cool points, nothing would.
Redd made his name as a comedian on the road, touring the ?Chitlin' Circuit? of black theatres and nightclubs during the 1940s and 50s. Foxx's act, to the extent that he had one, was considered extremely raunchy for the time, which limited his exposure to white audiences early on. However, he did record a series of comedy albums that caught on as cult favorites (Foxx was nicknamed ?King of the Party Albums? for this reason), and that opened up new touring opportunities for him in Vegas and elsewhere.
See, back in the day, people would have their friends over to drink and listen to records, and albums by dirty comedians, aka ?party records,? were a favorite. Party records were often recordings of black comedians whose material was loaded with sex and racial jokes, double entendres, and other edgy material, and white record stores only sold them under the counter (if they sold them at all). Redd's records proved to be so popular that they got him some appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and The Red Skelton Hour, and his star continued to rise throughout the 1960s.
What made Redd Foxx different from other blue comics was his timing. To quote fellow comedian Jimmy Walker, Foxx was funny just walking around on the street, and his gruff, cantankerous onstage persona wasn't terribly different from his real one. Chris Rock, who eavesdropped on his parents' collection of Foxx's records as a kid, has said that no one can identify a Redd Foxx joke, but it doesn't matter because he was so naturally funny and had such perfect timing and inflection that he didn't need signature material. All he had to do was get up there and talk.
Ultimately, Redd's talent won out over his era's racial divisions and tight-lipped morality, and he became one of the first comics to perform for white audiences in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York. He also made the rounds of Vegas' after hours clubs, where he performed at 2am after the big shows let out, and practically defined them. He also managed to clean up his act enough to get more TV exposure, leading to his starring role in ABC's Sanford and Son, which ran for six years and was both groundbreaking (in what it did to introduce America to the idea of black sitcoms) and popular with viewers.
Redd's no longer with us, unfortunately, but at least we can still watch and listen to him, and he's still funny. Here's one of my favorite bits of his, a coarse and profane and wonderfully structured bit about cleaning up before sex.
Simple Trick Tells You if a Girl Wants You to Kiss Her
Do girls leave you confused as to whether or not they like you?
Let's face it. Girl's don't make it easy for you. She will often send mixed signals leaving you unable to tell if she is being friendly or flirty. If you read her signals wrong you risk rejection and embarrassment. Or worse, you blow it with a girl who wanted to kiss you.
Here is a simple and innocent move that will instantly tell you if you're in the friend zone, or if she's waiting for you to kiss her.

Are you excited about the festival?
Hell, no, I ain't excited for that s—! No, I'm kidding [laughs]. Yeah, man. It seems like a rap fan's dream, like an amusement park of rappers. Which ride do you want to get on, or which rapper do you want to see?
Will we hear a lot from "ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$," and what do you want your fans to get from listening to the album?
Oh, yeah, definitely. If anything, not just my fans, because I didn't make it just for my fans. I made it for the world. So what I want the world to get from it is a call to action, that action being anything that you may want to do or say in life. Let this be a motivation to do it, because at the end of the day, that's what the project is: A passionate kid from Brooklyn spreading his message out to the world. I want people to know that I made the action of doing what I thought I was supposed to do. Go out there and do it. Go out there and say it. Speak up and be heard.
What specifically were you saying by putting "KKK" in the title?
I'm specifically addressing a side of the country that we all know is still alive and well.
Do you feel a responsibility to speak up about social and political issues?
Yep, I do. Because, who else gonna do it? Rappers these days have no morals — like one and the same. So, I'm in. Shout to the artists who are, though, who do feel the responsibility and are making changes and saying things that need to be said and need to be done.
That's pretty cool coming from a 22-year-old. Have you always thought that way?
You know, I think that's what separates me from the competition. These kids – I feel like they've never really heard these messages come from someone who understands them, and who is exactly where they are. I'm a millennial. So, the fact that I can share this through my eyes, through my experiences, with fellow millennials and fellow generations to come, is very powerful, very strong.
Did you always know you wanted a career in music?
Oh yeah, definitely. From inception [laughs]. Music was pretty much embedded in me from a very small child. My great-grandmother was a famous musician in Jamaica, and she predicted that one of her great-grandchildren would be a superstar. I still don't know who the f— she was talking about, but yeah [laughs].
Everybody in hip-hop has a stage name. How did you come up with yours?
I was skating. I was in high school, probably my freshman or sophomore year, and I was just skating. Me and my homie was just making our commute home from school, and we were just cruising, and there was just something about the vibe – it just felt so good. So as we were cruising on our skateboards, he looks at me, and he's like, "Yo, don't you just feel so badass right now?" And I was like, "Wow, yeah, actually I do!" This is the way I'd like to feel for the rest of my life. And that's when the thought first came into my mind.
What's the difference between mixtapes and a proper album?
I feel like mixtapes are more like a compilation of ideas and sounds that may not be too particular to your character and who you are, and may be just something experimental you're trying to do. Or, for like a new artist, it's like your demo. You're offering a preview to the world. For an established artist like me, it can be this compilation of experimental ideas that I didn't wanna call my next album. Mixtapes you can almost have more fun with, whereas an album is all seriousness — this is your direct representation of who you are or who you will become.
Name three musicians, live or dead, you'd love to work with.
Daft Punk is one. My brother Capital Steez, rest in peace, is two. And I'd probably say Tupac [Shakur].
You're a Brooklyn guy. How often do you get to Miami, and what do you think of the city?
I gotta be honest, even when it f—s me over [laughs]. A certain type of New York people have always had a fascination with Miami, so all my life, to me, Miami has been super over-hyped. And when I finally made it over there, I did not see what was so incredible [laughs]. But, I'll have you know I was only 17 at the time, so I couldn't really enjoy the things that people talk about. I hope you don't take that in a bad way.

Germans back in 2017
Promoted to top women's division

2017 is the year on the Germans' helmet. It will see the country host the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship – and the women's team back in the top division.
After four out of five rounds the Germans won the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Women's World Championship Division I Group A in Aalborg, Denmark, to earn a swift return to the top division.
A double from Laura Kluge and a shutout from Jennifer Harss sends Germany back into the top division of women's hockey and booked the team its ticket to Plymouth, USA, in 2017. The Germans beat its nearest rival in the standings, France, 5-0 on Tuesday.
"I can't find words. It was such a great team effort," explains an ecstatic Germany assistant captain Andrea Lanzl outside of her team's dressing room that has been filled with cheers and singing still 10 minutes after the win.
"It is amazing! It is my first championship that we win and I am very happy," said Laura Kluge
"It feels great! We are super happy about it. It feels awesome," says an excited German goalkeeper Jennifer Harss.
Harss made 16 saves to record her second consecutive shutout, knocking aside everything that was shot at her. The three-year-veteran has by far been the stand-out goaltender in Aalborg and proved that once again against France. The 28-year-old made crucial saves throughout the afternoon, but none more-so with her team only 1-0 up in the first period when she kicked aside a shot from Amandine Cuasnit, after the Frenchwomen found herself with a free shooting lane 11:10 into the period.
"My team has played super-well in front of me and that helps me a lot," said Harss about her players and continued. "I knew what kind of games I had to expect coming here. I was mentally prepared for not seeing as many shots, but being mentally ready. That was my main focus."
Young championship-leading goal and point scorer Laura Kluge netted twice to continue her hot form in Denmark, helping her team onto victory. The 19-year-old, who is in just her second year with the senior women's national team, has impressed with her 6 goals and 3 assists to currently sit at the top of both the individual goal and point scoring standings with one game day still to play.
"I have no idea if I am leading or not," says a shy and modest Kluge. "I think we have done a good job playing as a team."
Player-of-the-Match against France, Andrea Lanzl scored three points, assisting twice and getting a goal of her own. Lanzl has been with the German team since their Olympic campaign in 2014. The 28-year-old from Starnberg felt the pain of relegation from the top division last year and says that it was always the goal for the ladies to get back up to the top as soon as possible.
"It was our plan, our goal, to get up as soon as possible. We know what was going on in the top division and we wanted to go back," said Lanzl.
"We knew how difficult it would be to go back up, so we went straight with our game plan the whole tournament. We were so self-confident. Everyone knew their role in the team and we had great coaching staff that always said that we could do it."
With the goal of always returning to the top division and staying as competitive as possible, the Germans prepared for the Division I Group A by playing exhibition games against many of the top-flight European teams like Sweden, Finland and Russia. This strategy was to keep them as sharp and fast as possible and to ensure that they would control the games in Aaalborg, and give them the best possible chance of promotion. Their plan worked.
"We needed those games to play at the higher level, to have the speed of the game and be fast. To battle against the good teams helps us in this situation. We had to go and make the game," explained Lanzl.
Germany will celebrate their win, no doubt long into the night and for the coming months, but it will be back to business in the summer when they prepare for the 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey Women's World Championships in Plymouth and for the Final Olympic Qualification tournament in February.
"As of right now, I can only focus on this tournament but it is going to be great to go up. We are going to work hard in the summer for the World Championships and for the Olympic Qualification," says Jennifer Harss.
"We will take this self-confidence with us. We know there is no stop and we have to keep getting better every game and tournament. We know that there is more we have to bring. It takes time but we will take the time to work on those things," says a determined Andrea Lanzl

Switzerland: Foreign bank insolvency
The worst economic disaster since the great depression of 1929 took American and European banks by storm in 2008. The US, EU and Russia, among others, had to step in to save some of their banks from bankruptcy. Even certain German banks, symbols of the country's strength and prosperity, were on the verge of collapsing. Against this backdrop, the purpose of this briefing is to provide a high-level summary of the mechanisms in place to cope with the bankruptcy of a foreign bank in Switzerland.
The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (Finma) is the competent authority to deal with the bankruptcy of foreign banks. At the request of the foreign bankruptcy administrator or a bankruptcy estate's creditor, Finma must first recognise the foreign insolvency decree, as the foreign bankruptcy proceedings do not automatically extend to, nor deploy any immediate effects in Switzerland.
According to the provisions of the Swiss Private International Law Act (PILA), a foreign insolvency decree will be recognised if (a) the insolvency order is enforceable in the state where it was entered; (b) there are no grounds for refusal, such as that the recognition would be against Swiss public policy, the decision was taken in violation of the proceeding rights of one party and the matter is already in front of a Swiss court or is already a res judicata; and, (c) reciprocity is granted in the state where the decree was entered.
If these requirements are met, Finma orders the opening of so-called ancillary insolvency proceedings. Such proceedings allow the realisation of the bank's assets located in Switzerland, and primarily aim at prioritising creditors presenting a close link to Switzerland such as those who are domiciled in that jurisdiction. Finma would usually appoint a liquidator, unless it decided to carry out the liquidation itself. It also has the power to recognise injunctions or insolvency measures pronounced abroad in connection with the bank's bankruptcy.
However, according to the provisions of the Swiss Banking Act (BA), Finma may waive the requirement of ancillary bankruptcy proceedings in Switzerland, provided that foreign bankruptcy proceedings (i) treat collateralised and privileged claims of creditors domiciled in Switzerland equivalently to how they would be treated under the relevant Swiss law provisions, and, (ii) adequately take into account other claims of creditors domiciled in Switzerland.
As regards the distribution of assets in ancillary bankruptcy proceedings, creditors may request their claim in principal and interest up to the date of the opening of the liquidation proceedings, as well as enforcement costs. All claims made against the bank and filed in the proceedings for debt enforcement purposes in Switzerland will be converted into Swiss francs, at the exchange rate that is applicable on the opening day of the bankruptcy proceedings.
If the requirements set out are met, Finma will make the assets located in Switzerland available to the foreign liquidator of the bankruptcy estate. In that context, the liquidator will be allowed to act in Switzerland against third parties, for the purposes of, for example, recovering an outstanding claim, claiming assets located in Switzerland or enforcing a court decision rendered in favour of the bank. From the perspective of the foreign liquidator, Finma's approval is important, to the extent that unauthorised actions undertaken on Swiss soil in the interests of the foreign bankruptcy proceedings could potentially be deemed prohibited actions on behalf of a foreign state under article 271 of the Swiss criminal code (blocking statutes).
In past years, the recognition process in international bankruptcies has been the subject of growing criticism. It is said to be slow and expensive. More specifically, reciprocity as one of the conditions of the insolvency's recognition is deemed inefficient, burdensome and expensive.
On May 24 2017, the Swiss Federal Council published a bill regarding the modernisation of the rules governing international bankruptcies. In a nutshell, assuming that the bill passes, the reciprocity requirement will be abandoned. Moreover, it will become possible to waive the ancillary bankruptcy, absent any preferred creditor in Switzerland. As far as the bankruptcy of foreign banks is concerned, the above bill focuses on improving the coordination between the ancillary and the branch bankruptcy proceedings, and preventing issues of concurring claims arising from them, while preserving the rights of the creditors of the branch. To that end, the possibility of opening bankruptcy proceedings at the location of the branch will be limited in time, specifically, up to the moment when the schedule of claims becomes definitive.
International bankruptcy has become a topical subject. Understanding and anticipating the recognition procedure applicable in Switzerland is key, since the liquidator or creditors may face certain legal hurdles and risks, such as the blocking of statutes in case of a breach. Moreover, the planned legislative improvements will have to be monitored closely as they could have an impact on the future on international bankruptcies in the banking sector.

Do You Think About Me by Carrie Underwood
May 7, 2012 by Dayne Shuda Leave a Comment
It sounds like Carrie Underwood is falling in love again.
Ok. So maybe Carrie is already happily married, but one of her latest songs is about falling in love from the beginning. Here is a track about that moment real early on when you wonder if the other person is falling for you like you're falling for them.
Do You Think About Me – Carrie Underwood
There is no word on what will be the next single for Carrie Underwood. She's still riding on the success of Good Girl and the latest release of Blown Away. The songs on the album are already becoming favorites with her fans. One of those songs is Do You Think About Me.
Carrie is already in love, but her fans are probably out there meeting new people and falling in love. This song is about those early stages of love. You find someone that you enjoy spending time with. You lose yourself in them. It's fun. It's exciting. It's also a little scary sometimes. You can feel yourself falling completely for them and that's a vulnerable feeling.
You wonder if the person feels the same way about you as you do about them. You might have a person you wonder about today now that the moment has passed. It's hard to put yourself out there and ask the question of the other person. But you have to otherwise you might find yourself thinking about them in five, ten years and wondering what could have been. Don't let that happen. It's better to at least know how they feel.
Carrie is a veteran hitmaker now. She's on a roll with her music and has had one of the most successful country careers of all time. She's showing no signs of slowing down either. Her new album is great. Her fans are racing out to see her live.
This is going to be a big year for country's own American Idol.

NBA MVP Antetokounmpo sues artist over alleged 'Greek Freak' knockoffs
Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK, July 8 (Reuters) - Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, the 2019 National Basketball Association most valuable player, sued a Pennsylvania man on Monday for allegedly selling "Greek Freak" t-shirts and other clothing without permission.
Antetokounmpo accused Jinder Bhogal, who sells clothing inspired by NBA players on his website, of trying to piggyback off his "Greek Freak" trademark, which was registered last year, and profit from the Bucks star's success.
According to the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, Bhogal acted in bad faith "with the purpose of confusing and misleading consumers into believing that they are purchasing products associated with or endorsed by Giannis Antetokounmpo, one of the most successful and popular NBA players."
Antetokounmpo also said Bhogal did not respond to his May 3 "cease and desist" letter to stop selling infringing products, including hoodies.
A call to a number listed for Bhogal in Reading, Pennsylvania seeking comment was not immediately returned.
Antetokounmpo is seeking at least $2 million of damages, including unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, and an injunction against further infringements.
The lawsuit included an illustration in which Bhogal allegedly put Antetokounmpo's face on a body with antlers, and offered Bucks fans 10% off for deciding to "get your Greek Freak tee for the next round of the playoffs!"
Bhogal's website also offers clothing featuring depictions of former NBA MVPs Stephen Curry and James Harden.
Antetokounmpo, 24, was born in Greece to Nigerian immigrants and raised there.
He has played for the Bucks since 2013, and averaged 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game in the 2018-19 season.
The case is Antetokounmpo v. Bhogal, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 19-06304. (Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York; editing by Bill Berkrot)


The Creation of the Grand Bahama Labyrinth. Photos: Tohni Blower, Susan Mackay, and Barbara Chester.
After many days of hard work, combating very inclement weather conditions, the new Grand Bahama Labyrinth at the Garden of the Groves is nearing completion. Labyrinth expert Judy Hopen, from Labyrinth Enterprises (Missouri) arrived on Grand Bahama Island the weekend of June 7th to begin the process of creating a beautiful full-scale sacred 'Chartres' Labyrinth. Greg Farrington of Entech Services began leveling the ground and poured concrete for the 50'x50' octagonal base in early June.
Phase one of the process was marking the pattern out on the concrete. Judy brought special tools for this and used Sharpies to mark the base. Only socked feet were allowed on the surface during the creation of the labyrinth. In phase two, the very laborious process of meticulously marking all the lines with masking tape is done. This was a challenge as many millipedes enjoyed the surface and had to be continuously swept off. Phase three was covering the entire area with plastic and cutting out the area to be painted with resin, creating a large plastic stencil. Phase four is applying the coloured resin to the open areas. The final phases, once the resin has dried completely, will be to cover the entire area with a sealant, and then lastly the project gets any final cosmetic touch-ups.
"It is Tuesday afternoon 17th June and I am taking a moment to absorb the absolutely beautiful Labyrinth we have created in the Garden of the Groves. It still has to be 'sealed' to protect this piece of artwork on which we will soon be walking our sacred path.
I feel very blessed to have been given the opportunity o help with this community project which I truly believe will provide a place of peace and clarity. As we walk our Grand Bahama Labyrinth Path and enjoy the reconnection with Mother Earth and our Divine Creator we will have the joy of healing benefits which will reverberate out to our Community and our Planet.
First and foremost I give heartfelt thanks to my dear project partner, Susan Mackay, the 'firefly' of the Labyrinth; her bright beautiful light flits about all over the place!
We have received wonderful help.
Dear Peachie Tianva from the Mail Drop who dealt with the shipping (including the cost) of artistic materials. Water was provided in abundance by Sunny Isles and lovely lunches at Banana Bay by Toni and Danny. Respirators were donated by Grand Bahama Shipyard. Weights were generously loaned to us by Jenny Whylly of G.B. Fitness, and a wide variety of materials and help was provided by Larry Nelson of Dolly Madison. Electrical work and fittings, coolers, scrapers, leaf-blower, leads, and a miscellany of invaluable items were provided by many friends in the Community too numerous to name. You know who you are, and so do we. Bless you for so generously providing for our immediate needs.
Our wonderful team of volunteers came and executed all manner of jobs from scraping to taping (very exactly!); sweeping and scrubbing, to power-cleaning; mixing and lifting (very heavy containers, 78lbs!) ; covering and masking; plastering and detailing; washing, conveying, goforing and even moving water and drying concrete with fans, blowers and, even hair-dryers - all in conditions which were sometimes incredibly difficult. We had days when our protective covering gave way under the weight of water and we were totally drenched; we worked in high humidity under the tent roof in company with mosquitoes, millipedes, centipedes, spiders, curly-tails and other garden creatures who wanted to walk the path before it was finished! We worked with knee pads, but still developed blisters after hours of kneeling on concrete....but everyone felt blessed in the work!
Everyone was totally focused and followed instructions to the letter; all who were able, returned after a first visit. Our youngest helper was aged seven and our eldest was seventy.
I feel these special Illuminators deserve a mention (not in any particular order because everyone gave light to the path): Judy Hopen (our leader); Susan Mackay; Fiona Mackay; Dylan Mackay; Dimetri; Michelle Hanson; Joanne Parotti (Garden Path Chicken); Penny Richards; Sol Lopez; June Henderson; Claudette Dean; Lee Turnquest; Dee Anna Kennedy; Donnah Blake; Tohni Blower; Kayla Waugh; Tanya Eustrom; Christina Eustrom; Anne Marie Koster; Rakhee Laberge; Del Foxton; Sandra Huizer; Ruth Williams; Angelika Christie; Nicole LeBlanc; Charlton Smith; Claudine Thomas; Paula Farrington; Caitlin Farrington; Paul Sullivan; Gwen Sullivan, Robbin Whachell and Dave Mackey.
I thank you all, as I also thank all of our heavenly Labyrinth Angels. I look forward to meeting you all again, and often, on the beautiful path edged in a rich cobalt blue - the colour of healing and of grace.
This is only the beginning; we need funding to cover the many expenses so far incurred and to continue the work in this special Healing Garden. We also need Gardening Volunteers, Stones, Rocks, Engravers and Plants. We need them fast before the heavy rains set in. This is a very special project. Let's continue to work together as a Community. Let's enjoy the beauty of the creation and let's proudly present it to the World. I am arranging for it to be on the World Wide Locator in company with over 2000 Labyrinths around to Globe. This will be the first in The Bahamas."

Keep in mind, I'm going to stay pretty general here. Refer to some of the links at the end of this guide for more detail, and remember there is still ultimately no substitute for getting out there and checking out pianos in person.
Spinets, consoles, studios and full size uprights are called vertical pianos, as distinguished from baby grands and grands.
high. Their playing mechanism is called a drop action. This is an inferior design to the direct blow action of the console, studio and full size upright.
high. They have a direct blow action, meaning the action sits directly on top of the keys. This is a more efficient design than the drop action of the spinet.
high. They also have a direct blow action.
high. They generally have the best sound of the verticals because of their size. Bigger soundboard and longer strings equal bigger sound.
. The majority of them fall into the 5 to 6 foot range.
Think of a pyramid. The top third are handmade pianos of limited numbers, built to a standard, not to a price. Steinway is the first one that comes to mind here. Also included in this upper tier are Mason & Hamlin, Bosendorfer, and a handful of other handmade instruments.
The middle third is composed of quality mass-produced pianos. These include Yamaha and Kawai among others.
The bottom third are pianos built to a price, not a standard. Stencil pianos fall into this category. Stencil pianos are instruments mostly from China that the importer applies a stencil to – hence the name. For instance, the Bejing Piano Factory manufactures pianos. Importers order large quantities of these pianos and apply a decal to the front of the piano. The names are usually older American piano makers who have gone out of business and sold the brand name.
What can become even more confusing is that some Yamaha, Kawai and Baldwin models are actually stencil pianos. These companies do this to take advantage of the inexpensive Chinese labor and offer an entry level product to the consumer. An informed piano professional will know the difference and be able to point out specific attributes of each.
Something cheap is always cheap. Something good is always good.
If possible, choose a piano you grow into, not out of. You will not be sorry if you invest in a piano that is a little better than you think you deserve… you are going to get better and a better piano will help you succeed.
Bigger is better, sometimes. The bigger the piano, the longer the strings, the bigger the sound. That doesnt mean a smaller piano cant have a sweet sound. In fact, a good quality, small piano can out-perform a low quality big piano. Being able to compare a number of pianos in one place is recommenced. Dealing with a professional who will point out the good and bad attributes of the pianos is also very helpful.
There are attributes of quality that are recognizable. Some of them are obvious, such as the cabinet and finish. Some are not as obvious, but can be easily pointed out by a technician or a sales professional.
Listen to the piano… let your ears tell you. Trust your ears, they will tell you if it sounds good or not. Tone is a subjective attribute. Two pianists will have differing opinions on what they like and some folks like their sound a little more mellow while others like it a little brighter.
Looks matter as the piano is not only a musical instrument but also a fine furnishing in your home.
The math is exponential here, so the size of a larger piano is disproportionate. If you have 20% more length you get 45% more sound. Play a five and a six foot grand that are next to each other to hear the difference. Remember, a higher quality smaller grand can out-perform a lower quality larger grand. The subjectivity issue also comes into play here. You may like the sound of a smaller grand of the same quality as the larger grand simply because its tone appeals to you.
This was true at the time of non insulated walls, but it is no longer applicable. Still, the more stable the temperature and humidity are the more stable the piano will be. A relative humidity of 44% is ideal.
The strings on a piano are not affected by moving the piano. A piano goes out of tune by setting the strings in motion – also called playing, but mostly by humidity changes.
If you are moving a piano across the room you wont need to tune it because the humidity level hasnt changed. If you are moving it across town and the house that it is being moved to has a significantly different humidity level then the first house, then the piano should be re-tuned. The effects of the humidity change takes place gradually so allow about two weeks for the piano to adjust to the new environment before re-tuning.
Most used pianos have cracked soundboards. They are actually not cracks, but separations which occur because the wood is expanding and contracting. These separations can sometimes cause a buzzing sound due to losing contact with the ribs that support the soundboard. This problem is easily repaired by an experienced technician. In fact, Steinway pianos have no warranty against cracked soundboards. They do however warranty any problems associated with the crack.
These are 5 important factors you need to know about when buying a piano.
Some people dont need to know these things because theyre trusting the judgment or recommendation of a neighbor, friend, teacher or tuner. Some people need to know even more before they are comfortable enough to feel they are choosing the right instrument. We spend a good part of our lives working to acquire material possessions. Though a piano is merely a material item, I can't imagine life without music and especially life without pianos. Good luck in your search and enjoy your piano!

It noted that one of the objectives of the management plan of DDBR for the next period would be to harmonize and better coordinate them. It specifically refers to the Ecological Reconstruction Programme for 2009 in the Danube Delta consisting of ecological restoration in aquatic complexes, agricultural and fish-farming polders, as well as forestation works and projects for strengthening the institutional capacity.
The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve Authority is in the process of implementing the Master Plan – support for sustainable development in the Danube Delta. Several projects for cross border cooperation in the Danube Delta Transboundary Biosphere Reserve were already implemented. A common monitoring programme for the Danube Delta, including specialists from both sides of the Danube Delta has been elaborated and implementation of the joint monitoring programme started in 2008. Concerning the cooperation with the States Parties of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, the report mentions that cooperation actions with the Ukrainian Authority of the Danube Delta (Danube Biosphere Reserve) have been carried out, but no progress was yet achieved in the cooperation with Republic of Moldova, despite several initiatives of the Ministry of Environment from Romania to organize meetings of the three partners and towards the implementation of the June 2000 Agreement between the three Environment Ministries (Romania, Ukraine and Republic of Moldova).
The report refers to the Order of the Ministry of Environment 111 of 30 January 2007 to prevent negative impacts of the development of navigation channels. Concerning the guidelines on architecture and building activities in the Danube Delta, the report presents the Decision of the Romanian Government 1516 dated 19 November 2008, for the Framework Regulation for Urban Planning in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, the first guidelines for building activities in the Danube Delta and for the protection of the local landscape and cultural heritage. The report also refers to the Tourism Master Plan and the mechanism for transboundary cooperation on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of projects affecting the Delta, and specifically the deep navigation canal built by the Ukraine through the Northern part of the Danube Delta (Bystroe Arm). The EIA procedure has started, in accordance with the Espoo Convention and will continue during 2009.
In response to Decision 32 COM 7B.21, the State Party of Ukraine provided a detailed report on the situation with regards to the navigation waterway dated 12 February 2009 which was also shared with the State Party of Romania. The document sets out the process followed for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study for the Danube-Black Sea Navigation Route in Ukraine. It also reports that the results of the EIA process completed for the Navigation Route Project showed no indication that any significant transboundary impacts are likely to arise as a result of the proposed activity.
The EIA materials produced as part of the Detailed Design documentation package for the Phase 1 and Full-Scale Project were reviewed by the Inquiry Commission established under the Espoo Convention (on EIA in relation to transboundary developments), and the Commission concluded that the development and operation of the navigation route as proposed may give rise to transboundary impacts and the proposed project should be therefore subject to procedures defined in the Espoo Convention.
The report also provided recent data and materials collected through additional surveys undertaken since 2005 in order to facilitate an assessment of potential transboundary effects of the navigation route that have been recognized as likely significant by the Inquiry Commission.
Black Sea Navigation Route Restoration Project in the Ukrainian part of the Danube Delta.
The State Party report further noted that international consultations and meetings were convened at various stages of the project. The report states that official resolutions adopted at these meetings did not indicate any non-compliance with respect to national and international environmental law.
As a conclusion to the Danube Delta International Seminar on "Culture and Tourism, a factor of Sustainable Development" (20 – 26 September 2008), UNESCO and the Romanian Authorities decided jointly to launch the project "Integrated Culture and Tourism Strategy for Sustainable Development in the Danube Delta. The overall project goal is to elaborate and implement a development strategy based on an integrated approach using heritage safeguarding and conservation and to promote sustainable tourism in support of the objectives of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve Master Plan as well as the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations.
On 20 March 2009, the World Heritage Centre received a copy of correspondence to the State Party of Ukraine from the Executive Secretary of the United National Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), which is the implementating committee of the UNECE Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment. This letter raised a series of concerns of the Espoo Convention implementing committee to the State Party of Ukraine regarding the development of the Danube-Black Sea Deep-water Navigation Canal. The implementing committee further noted that the State Party of Ukraine was requested to submit a statement by 15 April 2009 confirming the previous decision of the Meeting of Parties to "a) demonstrate that all works, including operation and maintenance, on Phase I have stopped; and (b) show, separately for Phase I and for Phase II, that the Convention is being applied fully to the Project." Regarding the environmental impact assessment, the implementing committee also noted that the summary and findings did not fulfil the technical requirements of the Espoo Convention and requested further explanation from the State Party of Ukraine to the Working Group on Environmental Impact Assessment, planned to meet from 11 to 13 May 2009.
IUCN notes that the state of conservation of the property should be indicated through monitoring of wildlife population trends. While the State Party has reported on presence of certain species no population data were provided for either birds or fish and therefore it is not possible to comment on the status of the biodiversity values and integrity of the property. The implementation of an ecological monitoring programme, Recommendation 5 of the 2008 Ramsar Secretariat mission, would greatly contribute to monitoring the state of conservation of the Outstanding Universal Value and integrity of the property.
9. Further requests the State Party of Romania to submit to the World Heritage Centre, by 1 February 2011, an updated report on the state of conservation of the property, including on the status and impacts of the relevant development projects affecting the Delta on its Outstanding Universal Value, and especially those related to dredging and navigation as well as a copy of the River Basin management plan for the Danube Delta and the tourism plan for the property, for review by IUCN and the World Heritage Centre.

In the race to digitise mobility in Africa, BuuPass is doing things differently
The logistics and mobility sector accounted for 11.4 percent of the total funds raised by African startups, making it the second-highest after FinTechs.
This even as sector is experiencing a boom like never before, with mobility companies solving key challenges in the transportation value chain.
In the past year there has been innovative trends centering around ease of access through e-hailing, credit facilitation to driver- partners, inter/intra-city ride-sharing, digital infrastructure for operators and overall convenience for users.
Yet, with the proliferation of ride-hailing and logistics services that attempt to solve these key issues, mobility companies have yet to scratch the surface.
Wyclife Omondi, Co-founder of BuuPass says However, despite these developments the market is hyper fragmented and broken.
"This means that a single intercity bus operator with an average of 30 buses and 20 bus stops has its operator using pen and paper to manage their operations, hence causing cash leakage and a bad customer experience," says Wyclife Omondi, Co-founder of BuuPass
Every day t is estimated that over 30 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) travel from one city to another and over 40 B dollars (Sh4.9 trillion) are spent every year on domestic travel and transport.
However according to Omondi, a combination of other challenges exist that hinder the mobility landscape from reaching its true potential.
The challenges, urban congestion, insufficient data on routes, unregulated public transit agencies and most importantly, unavailability of robust end-to-end digital infrastructure management for operators.
Founded in 2016, BuuPass provides a holistic solution to both operators and end users in the mobility ecosystem.
Its web platform enables long-distance transport operators to digitise and manage their services, inventory and sales, minimise cash leakages, and run seamless online bookings through its Bus Management System (BMS).
It also offers affordable parcel logistics for individuals and businesses that are cost sensitive to high prices from current logistics & shipping providers.
On BuuPass, travellers are able to explore and compare different travel options and make payments with mobile money.
Armed with the mission to bridge the gap between the operators and 500m+ mobile phone users in Sub-Saharan Africa, founders Wyclife Omondi and Sonia Kabra, say BuuPass solves key customer pain points on B2B and B2C side while building scalable infrastructure and digitizing the transport industry from the grassroots.
"Yet, digitising mobility across Africa wouldn't be a walk in the park, given the continent's regional complexities."
As a mobility service provider, BuuPass aggregates key information, ranging from data, including location, time, and price, relevant for travellers and authorities to execute regulatory functions.
With over 1,000,000bus users, more than 920buses in operation and 800+ locations covered in Kenya and Uganda, BuuPass' all-in-one platform is demonstrating its capacity to alleviate the hurdles of transport operators and at the same time facilitate the convenience of commuters.

Final chance to cast your vote
THE race begins today to choose the Merseyside Sports Personality of the Year for 2006.
John ThompsonCommercial Editor
Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from Liverpool Echo - daily
TODAY is your last chance to vote for the 2006 Merseyside Sports Personality of the Year.
Votes have been flooding in for our Super Seven shortlisted candidates.
If you haven't voted, hurry - our lines close at midnight tonight, with the winner revealed at the Echo's prestigious awards night in Liverpool on Monday, February 5.
The candidates to follow in the footsteps of last year's winner, Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez, are:
1) Daniel Anderson - St Helens head coach
IN only his second season as the coach of St Helens Rugby League Club, Daniel Anderson led the men from Knowsley Road to the greatest campaign in the club's long and proud history. Masterminding a clean sweep of treble honours, Anderson and his players won every individual award too. His Saints side mixed astonishing flair going forward with an almost perfect defence system. The supremely talented Australian was the brains behind a year of unprecedented Saints glory. VOTE 01
2) Mikel Arteta - Everton midfielder
HE'S the magician at the School of Science. And how Everton fans just love to see him weave his spells, leaving opposition defenders in a trance. Arteta had a superb year for the Blues, being named the club's, players' and fans' Player of the Season. The 24-year-old Spaniard has continued to dazzle, leaving many to wonder what more he must do now to win full Spanish national honours. His wonder goal at Goodison against Bolton this season epitomised his rare talent and worth to the Blues. VOTE 02
3) Steven Gerrard - Liverpool midfielder
CAPTAIN fantastic Steven Gerrard followed his heroics of a year earlier in Istanbul with another incredible Boys Own performance in the FA Cup final against West Ham. Astutely laying on Liverpool's first goal as they trailed 2-0 to West Ham, he scored a barnstorming equaliser and came to the rescue again in the dying moments with possibly the greatest FA Cup final strike of all time. All so typical of Anfield's world class hero, who also starred for England in the World Cup, scoring twice. VOTE 03
4) Francesca Halsall - Great Britain swimmer
LAST year's winner of the Echo's Merseyside Young Sports Personality of the Year title, 16-year-old sprint swimmer Halsall, from Southport, lived up to all her potential. She won two silver medals in the Commonwealth Games pool in Melbourne, followed by a European Championships gold medal as she romped to victory in the final leg of the 100m relay medley in Budapest. In between she defended her British title and set personal records too. Roll on the Olympic Games in China next year! VOTE 04
5) Derry Mathews - Professional boxer
LIVERPOOL boxer Derry Mathews sits proudly at the very top of his sport after being crowned the WBU world featherweight boxing champion in 2006. After winning all 16 of his professional fights, 23-year-old Mathews, from Woolton, stepped into the ring at the Manchester Arena last October and clinically removed the belt from previous holder Steve Foster Jnr with a unanimous points win over 12 rounds. He defends his title in Liverpool next month before a sell-out Olympia crowd and in front of the live ITV cameras. VOTE 05
6) Beth Tweddle - Great Britain gymnast
BETH Tweddle's dreams came true in 2006 when she became the first British gymnast ever to win a world title. Her near faultless performance on the uneven bars in Aarhus, Denmark, saw Tweddle, trained by Amanda Kirby at the Park Road Centre in Toxteth, enter the record books. Tweddle, 21, already boasted European and Commonwealth golds when she was crowned the best on the planet in her discipline - fitting reward for ten years of gruelling practice in Liverpool. VOTE 06
7) Paul Wellens - St Helens star
ST HELENS born and supremely talented, Wellens enjoyed his best ever season in the Saints' stunning glory year. The full-back not only starred in the Grand Final and Challenge Cup wins alongside Saints heroes like Sean Long, Ade Gardner and James Graham, he was in outstanding form for Great Britain in the Tri Nations Series. Wellens rightfully scooped a host of individual awards in 2006 - including Rugby League's Man of Steel and the Players' Player of the Year trophy. VOTE 07

The Salvation Army Kettle with the recognizable red shield next to a Salvation Army volunteer ringing the bell and soliciting donations is a familiar site during Christmas season.
Salvation Army is an international evangelical church and one of the world's most significant non-governmental relief agencies. Its headquarters are in London, England. With a governance system of its own and a practice that slightly deviates from the mainstream doctrine of the church, the Salvation Army is well-known for its relief and charity work across the world.
The Salvation Army is one of the first NGOs to arrive at affected sites after natural or man-made disasters. Over the years, the organization has helped countless individuals rebuild their lives after devastating events and alleviate their suffering.
The Salvation Army was established by William Booth, a Methodist preacher and his wife Catherine Booth in 1865 in London, England. Their intent and mission were to bring salvation to the poor and downtrodden people and to meet their physical and spiritual needs.
Interestingly, Salvation Army's ministers are called the "officers." Officers' ranks include lieutenant, captain, major, colonel and the general. They wear uniform type clothing. Women are given equal right within the church and, in fact, be ordained. Officers are allowed to be married. Husbands and wives often share the same rank and carry out the same assignments.
In 1879, the first meeting of the Salvation Army took place in Philadelphia. The Salvation Army established a strong presence in the United States after being officially welcomed by the White House in 1886 for their extraordinary charitable efforts.
Salvation Army is currently present in 131 countries. As when it was first established, its goals still are to advance the Christian religion, relieve poverty, help the needy and be munificent to mankind as a whole. As such, Salvation Army operates homeless shelters, runs thrift and charity shops, responds with disaster relief and provides humanitarian aid to developing countries.

Tom Bass
Tom Bass. Photo: State Historical Society of Missouri.
Tom Bass broke down color barriers as a world-class equestrian and trainer of show
horses over a career that spanned half a century. Bass was born into slavery on a
plantation in Boone County, Missouri. As a youngster, he showed natural talent for
handling and riding horses. Around age 20, he moved to Mexico, Missouri, where
he worked at a stable and established a reputation as an expert trainer. Known for his
gentle methods, he invented the Bass bridle bit as a more humane device for leading
horses.
Bass operated a stable in Kansas City in the mid-1890s and helped found the
American Royal Horse Show in 1905. He was the first African American to ride in
the competition. Bass trained horses and provided riding instruction for many of the
city's prominent citizens. He would later travel the world performing and competing in
shows.
During his career, Bass performed before five U.S. presidents and earned prizes at every horse show in the country
with his prized mount Belle Beach, collecting more than 2,000 blue ribbons. He was inducted into the Hall of Famous
Missourians in 1999.

It is generally found on gently sloping sites with deep soils, and can form pure stands on relatively flat sites with favorable soils. Other associated plants include Quercus arizonica,  Pinus cooperi, Arbutus xalapensis, Fraxinus gooddingii, and Juniperus deppeana.
